SEVERANCE PLAN

(As Amended and Restated)

EXELON CORPORATION

SENIOR MANAGEMENT SEVERANCE PLAN

(As Amended and Restated)

1.	PURPOSE OF THE PLAN

The Exelon Corporation Senior Management Severance Plan, as amended and restated herein (the “Plan”), is effective as of February 13, 2006 (the “Effective Date”) except as otherwise specifically provided herein, and supersedes in its entirety all prior versions of the Plan and the Exelon Corporation Key Management Severance Plan with respect to terminations of employment occurring any time on or after the Effective Date (or such other date as set forth herein). The Plan provides severance benefits to eligible executives of Exelon Corporation (“Exelon”) and its subsidiaries of which Exelon owns at least 80% of the outstanding voting power that are participating employers in the Plan (Exelon and such subsidiaries jointly and severally referred to as the “Company”) who submit a Notice of Termination or who are notified of their termination of employment on or after the Effective Date (or such other date as set forth herein), and to provide additional protection in the event of a Change in Control of Exelon or an Imminent Control Change of Exelon.

2.	ELIGIBILITY

2.1.

Eligibility in General. Subject to the remaining provisions of this Section 2.1, eligibility to participate in the Plan is limited to each employee of the Company whose position is in Salary Band E09 (or equivalent executive grade) or above (an “Executive”) who executes and returns to the Company by the later of 90 days after becoming an Executive, or 90 days after delivery thereof to the Executive, non-competition, non-solicitation, confidential information and intellectual property covenants (“Restrictive Covenants”) which are acceptable to Exelon and are either substantially in the form attached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit I (as may be modified from time to time by Exelon in its sole discretion) or set forth in another agreement between the Company and the Executive. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, eligibility for benefits under the Plan shall be subject to the provisions of any agreement (including but not limited to an offer of employment or grant instrument) between an Executive and the Company providing that that such Executive would be ineligible for (or waives) all or a portion of the benefits under the Plan or “change in control” benefits in the event of a termination of employment, or under which the Executive had agreed, prior to the Applicable Trigger Date, to terminate his or her employment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no individual who was employed by PSEG or any of its affiliates immediately prior to the consummation of the PSEG Merger shall be eligible for benefits under this Plan except to the extent specifically authorized in writing by the Company’s Chief Human Resources Officer. In addition, no Participant shall be entitled to any material enhancement to the separation benefits provided under the Plan without the written approval of the Chief Executive Officer of Exelon and the consent of the Chairman of the Compensation Committee of Exelon’s Board of Directors.

2.2.

Eligibility Under Section 4. Subject to Section 2.1, each Executive shall be eligible for the benefits provided under Section 4 hereof in the event such Executive has a Termination of Employment; provided, however, that any Executive whose Termination of Employment is covered under Section 5 hereof or a change in control agreement entered into between such Executive and the Company (an “Individual Change in Control Agreement”) shall not be eligible for benefits under Section 4, except as expressly provided in Section 5 or such Individual Change in Control Agreement (which expressly refers to the benefits under Section 4 of this Plan).

2.3.

Eligibility Under Section 5. Eligibility for the benefits provided under Section 5 hereof due to a Termination of Employment during a Post-Change Period or an Imminent Control Change Period shall be subject to Section 2.1, and shall be limited to persons who are Executives immediately prior to the Applicable Trigger Date and who are not subject to Individual Change in Control Agreements.

3.	PARTICIPATION

Each eligible Executive shall become a participant in the Plan (“Participant”) upon his or her execution of a separation agreement with the Company in such form as the Company, in its sole discretion, shall require or permit (the “Severance Agreement”). Each Executive shall also be required to execute, no later than the date of the Participant’s Termination of Employment or, if later, the date that is 45 days after the date the Executive is provided with a copy of a Severance Agreement, a waiver and release of claims against the Company (“Waiver and Release”) which is substantially in the form attached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit II, as may from time to time be modified by the Company in its sole discretion. The Company shall have no obligation to an Executive under this Plan unless and until the Executive timely executes the Restrictive Covenants, a Severance Agreement and a Waiver and Release.

4.	BENEFITS

A Participant described in Section 2.2 shall be entitled to all Accrued Obligations and, subject to Section 6, benefits pursuant to this Section 4 upon the Participant’s Termination of Employment.

4.1.

In General. Each Participant other than a Participant described in Section 4.1(b) shall receive severance pay at a monthly rate equal to 1/12 of the sum of (a) the Participant’s annual base salary in effect as of the date of Termination of Employment, plus (b) the Severance Incentive. Subject to paragraph (c) below, payment shall be made in regular payroll installments for the duration of the applicable Salary Continuation Period, as indicated below, commencing no later than the second paydate which occurs after the Participant’s Termination Date, but in no event earlier than eight days after the date the Participant returns an executed Waiver and Release to the Plan Administrator.

Each Participant who has been continuously employed by the Company for less than twenty-four months as of the Participant’s Termination Date shall receive severance pay at a monthly rate equal to 1/12 of the Participant’s annual base salary in effect as of the Termination Date. Subject to paragraph (c) below, payment shall be made in regular payroll installments for the duration of the applicable Salary Continuation Period, as indicated below, commencing no later than the second paydate which occurs after the Participant’s Termination Date, but in no event earlier than eight days after the date the Participant returns an executed Waiver and Release to the Plan Administrator.

Participant Level		Salary Continuation Period
Senior Executive Management		18 months (12 months if employed < 12 months)
Other Executives		12 months (6 months if employed < 12 months)

(c)

Effective January 1, 2005, in the event the Plan Administrator determines that the Participant may be a Specified Employee, payment under this Section 4.1 shall commence as of the second paydate which occurs after the six-month anniversary of the Participant’s “separation from service,” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, and shall consist of an initial severance payment equal to the aggregate payroll installments that would have been paid prior to such date pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) above, followed by regular payroll installments of any such remaining severance pay over any remaining portion of the Salary Continuation Period pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) above.

4.2.

Annual Incentive Awards. Each Participant shall receive a Target Incentive which shall be prorated by multiplying the amount of such Target Incentive by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days elapsed during such calendar year as of the Participant’s Termination Date and the denominator of which is 365. Payment of Target Incentives under this Section 4.2 shall be made in a lump sum net of applicable taxes and other deductions no earlier than eight days after the date the Participant returns an executed Waiver and Release to the Plan Administrator; provided, that effective January 1, 2005, if the Plan Administrator determines that the Participant may be a Specified Employee, such payment shall be made as of the second paydate which occurs after the six-month

anniversary of the Participant’s “separation from service,” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code.

4.3.

Stock Options. No Participant shall be entitled to participate in any grants of Stock Options (as defined in Section 5.1(b)) made after such Participant’s notification of his or her Termination of Employment. Except as provided below, any Stock Options previously granted to the Participant shall be exercisable only to the extent such Stock Options are exercisable as of the date of such Participant’s Termination Date and shall thereafter be exercised in accordance with the provisions of the LTIP. Stock Options which remain unexercisable as of the Participant’s Termination Date shall be forfeited. Notwithstanding the preceding, if, as of the Participant’s Termination Date, such Participant has attained at least age 50 and completed at least 10 years of service as defined under the tax-qualified defined benefit plan maintained by Exelon in which the Executive is a participant (the “Pension Plan”) (or who, pursuant to the terms of an offer of employment or employment agreement or under any provision of the Pension Plan or SERP, is credited with a number of additional years of age and/or service that would enable such Participant to satisfy the above eligibility requirements), then any Stock Options granted to such Participant which have not become exercisable prior to the Participant’s Termination Date shall (i) become fully vested, and (ii) effective January 1, 2005, remain exercisable through the Extended Exercise Period.

4.4.

Other LTIP Awards. Awards of Performance Shares and/or Restricted Stock (as defined in Sections 5.1(c) and 5.1(d), respectively) shall be payable to a Participant solely to the extent provided under the terms of such Awards.

4.5.

Health Care Coverage. During the Salary Continuation Period, a Participant (and his or her dependents) shall continue to participate in the health care plans under which he or she was covered immediately prior to his or her Termination of Employment, as such plans may be amended from time to time. The Participant’s out of pocket costs (including premiums, deductibles and co-payments) for such coverage shall be the same as that in effect from time to time for active peer employees during such period. Coverage under this Paragraph 4.5 shall be provided for the duration of the Salary Continuation Period in lieu of continuation coverage under Section 4980B of the Code and Section 601 to 609 of ERISA (“COBRA”) for the same period. At the end of the Salary Continuation Period, COBRA continuation coverage may be elected for the remaining balance of the statutory coverage period, if any; provided, however that a Participant who, as of the last day of the Salary Continuation Period has attained at least age 50 and completed at least 10 years of service (or who has completed any lesser age and service requirement then in effect under the Exelon Corporation Severance Benefit Plan or any successor plan as of the relevant time set forth in such plan) under the terms of the Pension Plan (or who, pursuant to the terms of an offer of employment or employment agreement or under any provision of the Pension Plan or SERP, is credited with a number of additional years of age and/or service that would enable such Participant to satisfy the above eligibility requirements) shall be entitled to elect retiree health coverage under the Company’s health care

plans on the same terms and subject to the same conditions as in effect from time to time for active peer employees who have completed 10 years of service after attaining age 45.

4.6.

SERP. For purposes of the Participant’s SERP benefit, the Salary Continuation Period shall be taken into account as service solely for purposes of determining whether the Participant is vested (i.e., 5 years of service) and, to the extent relevant under the Pension Plan covering the Participant, the amount of the Participant’s regular accrued benefit, but not for purposes of determining eligibility for early retirement benefits or any other purpose. In determining the amount of the Participant’s vested benefit, if any, the severance payments made under Section 4.1 shall be taken into account as if such payments were normal base salary and incentive payments. Effective January 1, 2005, payment shall be made in accordance with the Participant’s distribution election in effect under the SERP as of the Termination Date (or, if no affirmative election is in effect as of such date, the default election as of such date).

4.7.

Life Insurance and Disability Coverage. Continued coverage under the applicable life insurance and long term disability plans sponsored by the Company (or other equivalent coverage or benefits) shall be extended to each Participant through the last day of the Salary Continuation Period applicable to such Participant on the same terms and subject to the same conditions as are applicable to active peer employees (including, without limitation, submission of proof by an Executive who seeks long term disability benefits that such Executive would have satisfied the conditions for such benefits had the Executive been an employee during the Salary Continuation Period and terminated employment on or before the last day of such period).

4.8.

Executive Perquisites. Executive perquisites shall terminate effective as of the Participant’s Termination Date, and any Company-owned property shall be required to be returned to the Company no later than such date; provided, however, that each Participant who is an officer of the Company and who has attained age 50 and completed 10 years of service pursuant to the terms of the Pension Plan or SERP shall be entitled to financial counseling services to the extent provided under, and in accordance with, the Company’s applicable policies or programs as in effect from time to time with respect to retired officers and, effective January 1, 2005, Section 409A of the Code.

4.9.

Outplacement Services. Each Participant shall be entitled to outplacement services at the expense of the Company for twelve months and subject to such terms and conditions as the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, determines are appropriate. No cash shall be paid in lieu of such fees and costs.

4.10.

PSEG Merger Period. The benefits payable under this Section 4 to a Participant (other than a Participant described in Section 4.1(b)) whose Termination Date occurs during the PSEG Merger Period shall be adjusted in the following respects:

(a)

Severance Incentive. Subject to and following the closing of the PSEG Merger, the amount of the Severance Incentive (if any) payable to the

Participant under Section 4.1(a) shall be determined in accordance with Section 7.41. If a Participant’s Termination Date occurs prior to the closing of the PSEG Merger, then the adjustment of any payments received by the Participant prior to such closing shall be effected by a lump sum payment to the Participant (without interest) within 60 days after such closing.

(b)

Target Incentive. Subject to and following the closing of the PSEG Merger, the Target Incentive payable to the Participant under Section 4.2 shall be payable in full, without any proration. If a Participant’s Termination Date occurs prior to the closing of the PSEG Merger, then the adjustment of any payment received by the Participant prior to such closing shall be effected by a lump sum payment to the Participant (without interest) within 60 days after such closing.

(c)

Performance Shares. Subject to and following the closing of the PSEG Merger, any Performance Share Award payable under Section 4.4 with respect to the year that includes the Termination Date shall be payable in accordance with the terms of such Performance Share Award, without any proration. If a Participant’s Termination Date occurs prior to the closing of the PSEG Merger, then the adjustment of any payments received by the Participant prior to such closing shall be effected by a lump sum payment to the Participant (without interest) within 60 days after such closing.

(d)

Vested Stock Options. If the Participant’s Termination Date occurs on or after the Effective Date, any Stock Options that are vested and exercisable as of the Termination Date shall remain exercisable through the Extended Exercise Period; provided, however, that in the event the PSEG Merger is canceled, terminates or expires without closing prior to the last day of the Extended Exercise Period, such Stock Options shall cease to be exercisable as of the earlier of (A) the last day of the Extended Exercise Period and (B) the date that is thirty days after such cancellation, termination or expiration, but in no event prior to 90 days after the Termination Date.

(e)

Non-Vested Stock Options.

(i)

Termination Date Prior to Closing of PSEG Merger. If the Participant’s Termination Date occurs on or after the Effective Date and prior to the closing of the PSEG Merger, any Stock Options that are not vested and exercisable as of the Termination Date shall, subject to and upon the closing of the PSEG Merger prior to the last day of the Extended Exercise Period, become vested and remain exercisable for the remainder of the Extended Exercise Period.

(ii)

Termination Date On or After Closing of PSEG Merger. If the Participant’s Termination Date occurs on or after the closing of the PSEG Merger, any Stock Options that are not vested and

exercisable as of the Termination Date shall become vested and remain exercisable for the Extended Exercise Period.

(f)

Restricted Stock. If the Participant’s Termination Date occurs on or after the Effective Date, then subject to the closing of the PSEG Merger, such Participant’s non-vested Restricted Stock shall become vested and non-forfeitable as of the later of the Termination Date and such closing date, unless the grant instrument for such restricted stock specifically provides that it will not vest upon a Termination of Employment during the PSEG Merger Period or that it will not vest if the Participant incurs a Termination of Employment covered by Section 5 of this Plan.

(g)

Significant Relocation. Subject to and following the closing of the PSEG Merger, an Executive whose Termination Date occurs on or after the Effective Date due to a resignation for Good Reason pursuant to Section 7.15(a)(iii) shall be eligible to receive, subject to the Executive’s satisfaction of all terms and conditions to participation in this Plan, severance benefits equal to those provided under the Exelon Corporation Severance Benefit Plan (or any successor plan thereto) as of the Executive’s Termination Date to a key manager with the same age and length of service as of such date, and no other benefits under this Plan or any other severance plan, program or arrangement.

5.	CHANGE IN CONTROL BENEFITS

(iii)

SERP Enhancement. An amount payable under the SERP equal to the positive difference, if any, between:

(d)

Other Restricted Stock. Effective January 1, 2005, all forfeiture conditions that as of the Termination Date are applicable to any deferred stock unit, restricted stock or restricted share units awarded to such Participant by Exelon other than under the Exelon Performance Share Program under the LTIP (“Restricted Stock”) shall (except as expressly provided to the contrary in the applicable awards) lapse immediately and all such awards will become fully vested.

(e)

Continuation of Welfare Benefits. During the Severance Period, the Company shall continue to provide to the Executive and the Executive’s dependents under its welfare plans, including medical, prescription, dental, disability, employee life, group life and accidental death benefits but excluding any severance pay (“Welfare Plans”) that covered the Participant or such Participant’s dependents prior to such Participant’s Termination of Employment, to the same extent as if such Participant had remained employed during the Severance Period. Such provision of welfare benefits shall be subject to the following:

(i)

In determining benefits applicable under such Welfare Plans, such Participant’s annual compensation attributable to base salary and incentives for any plan year or calendar year, as applicable, shall be deemed to be not less than such Participant’s Base Salary and annual incentive for the year in which the Termination Date occurs.

(ii)

The cost of such welfare benefits to such Participant and dependents under this Section 5.1(e) shall not exceed the cost of such benefits to peer executives who are actively employed during the Severance Period.

Such Participant’s rights under this Section 5.1(e) shall be in addition to and not in lieu of any post-termination continuation coverage or conversion rights such Participant may have pursuant to applicable law, including, without limitation, continuation coverage required by COBRA.

(iv)

If such Participant has, as of the last day of the Severance Period, attained age 50 and completed at least 10 years of service with the Company, such Participant shall be entitled to the retiree benefits provided under any Welfare Plan of the Company; provided, however, that for purposes hereof, any years of age and/or credited service granted to such Participant in any other plan or agreement between such Participant and the Company shall be taken into account. For purposes of determining eligibility for (but not the time of commencement of) such retiree benefits, such Participant shall also be considered (1) to have remained employed until the last day of the Severance Period and to have retired on the last day of such period, and (2) to have attained at least the age such Participant would have attained on the last day of the Severance Period.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such Participant obtains a specific type of coverage under welfare plan(s) sponsored by another employer of such Participant (e.g. medical, prescription, vision, dental, disability, individual life insurance benefits, group life insurance benefits, but excluding for the purposes of this sentence retiree benefits if such Participant is so eligible), then the Company shall not be obligated to provide any such specific type of coverage. The Participant shall promptly notify the Plan Administrator of any such coverage.

(f)

Outplacement. To the extent actually incurred by such Participant, the Company shall pay or cause to be paid on behalf of such Participant, as incurred, all reasonable fees and costs charged by a nationally recognized outplacement firm selected by such Participant for outplacement services provided for up to 12 months after the Termination Date. No cash shall be paid in lieu of such fees and costs.

(g)

Indemnification. Such Participant shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company to the greatest extent permitted under applicable law and the Company’s by-laws if such Participant was, is, or is threatened to be, made a party to any pending, completed or threatened action, suit, arbitration, alternate dispute resolution mechanism, investigation, administrative hearing or any other proceeding brought by a third party

(and not by or on behalf of the Company or its shareholders) whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, and whether formal or informal, by reason of the fact that such Participant is or was, or had agreed to become, a director, officer, employee, agent, or fiduciary of the Company any other entity which such Participant is or was serving at the request of the Company (“Proceeding”), against all expenses (including all reasonable attorneys’ fees) and all claims, damages, liabilities and losses incurred or suffered by such Participant or to which such Participant may become subject for any reason; provided, that the Participant provides the Company written notice of any such Proceeding promptly after receipt and such that the Company’s ability to defend shall not be prejudiced in any fashion and the Company shall have the right to direct the defense, approve any settlement and shall not be required to indemnify the Participant in connection with any proceeding initiated by the Participant, including a counterclaim or crossclaim, unless such proceeding was authorized by the Company, and that the Participant fully cooperates in the investigation and defense of such Proceeding.

(h)

Directors’ and Officers’ Liability Insurance. For a period of six years after the Termination Date, the Company shall provide such Participant with coverage under a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy in an amount no less than, and on terms no less favorable than, those provided to peer executives of the Company on the Applicable Trigger Date.

(b)

Vested Stock Options. Effective January 1, 2005, such Participant’s Stock Options, to the extent vested and exercisable on the Termination Date, shall remain exercisable through the Extended Exercise Period; provided that if the Imminent Control Change Period lapses without a Change Date occurring prior to the last day of the Extended Exercise Period, such Stock Options shall cease to be exercisable as of the earlier of (i) the last day of

the Extended Exercise Period and (ii) 30 days after the Imminent Control Change Period has lapsed, but in no event prior to 90 days after the Termination Date.

(c)

Unvested Stock Options. Effective January 1, 2005, such Participant’s Stock Options that are not vested on the Termination Date shall, subject to and upon the occurrence of the Change Date prior to the last day of the Extended Exercise Period become vested and remain exercisable for the remainder of the Extended Exercise Period. If the Imminent Control Change lapses without a Change Date or if the Extended Exercise Period ends prior to the occurrence of a Change Date, such unvested Stock Options will thereupon expire.

(d)

Performance Shares. Such Participant’s Performance Shares granted under the Exelon Performance Share Program under the LTIP will not be forfeited during the Imminent Control Change Period, and will not continue to vest during the Imminent Control Change Period.

If the Imminent Control Change Period culminates in a Change Date:

(i)

All Performance Shares granted to such Participant under the Exelon Performance Share Program under the LTIP, which, as of the Termination Date, have been earned by and awarded to such Participant, shall become fully vested at the actual earned level on the Change Date, and

(ii)

All of the Performance Shares granted to such Participant under the Exelon Performance Share Program under the LTIP which, as of the Termination Date, have not been earned by and awarded to such Participant shall become fully vested on the Change Date at the LTIP Target Level.

(i)

not be forfeited during the Imminent Control Change Period; and

If the Imminent Control Change Period lapses without a Change Date, such unvested Restricted Stock shall thereupon be forfeited.

If the Imminent Control Change Period culminates in a Change Date, then immediately prior to the Change Date, such Participant’s Restricted Stock shall (except as expressly provided to the contrary in the award) become fully vested, and within ten business days after the Change Date, the Company shall deliver to such Participant all of such shares theretofore held by or on behalf of the Company, which will be subject to the same terms which other stockholders of the Company receive in the transaction.

(f)

Continuation of Welfare Benefits. The Company shall continue to provide (or cause to be provided) to such Participant and such Participant’s dependents welfare benefits (other than any severance pay that may be considered a welfare benefit) that covered the Participant or such Participant’s dependents prior to such Participant’s Termination of Employment, during the Imminent Control Change Period, to the same extent as if such Participant had remained employed during such period, subject to the following:

(i)

in determining benefits applicable under such Welfare Plans, such Participant’s annual compensation attributable to base salary and incentives for any plan year or calendar year, as applicable, shall be deemed to be not less than such Participant’s Base Salary and annual incentive for the year in which the Termination Date occurs;

(ii)

the cost of such welfare benefits to such Participant and dependents under this Section 5.2(f) shall not exceed the cost of such benefits to peer executives who are actively employed by the Company during the Imminent Control Change Period; and

(iii)

such Participant’s rights under this Section 5.2(f) shall be in addition to and not in lieu of any post-termination continuation coverage or conversion rights such Participant may have pursuant to applicable law, including, without limitation, continuation coverage required by COBRA.

If the Imminent Control Change Period lapses without a Change Date, welfare benefit plan coverage under this Section 5.2(f) shall thereupon cease, subject to such Participant’s rights, if any, to continued coverage under a Welfare Plan, Section 4, or applicable law. If the Imminent Control Change Period culminates in a Change Date, then for the remainder of the Severance Period, the Company shall continue to provide such Participant and such Participant’s dependents welfare benefits as described in, and subject to the limitations of Section 5.1(e).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such Participant obtains a specific type of coverage under welfare plan(s) sponsored by another employer of such Participant (e.g. medical, prescription, vision, dental, disability, individual life insurance benefits, group life insurance benefits, but excluding for the purposes of this sentence retiree benefits if such Participant is so eligible), then the Company shall not be obligated to provide any such specific type of coverage. The Participant shall immediately notify the Plan Administrator of any such coverage.

(g)

Indemnification. Such Participant shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company to the same extent as provided in Section 5.1(g), but only during the Imminent Control Change Period (or greater period provided

under the Company’s by-laws) if the Imminent Control Change Period lapses without a Change Date.

(h)

Termination During an Imminent Control Change Period: Directors’ and Officers’ Liability Insurance. The Company shall provide the same level of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance for such Participant as provided in Section 5.1(h), but only during the Imminent Control Change Period (or greater period provided under the Company’s by-laws) if the Imminent Control Change Period lapses without a Change Date.

Obligations.

Procedural Requirements.

Benefits under the Plan will be paid only if the Plan Administrator, in his or her discretion, determines that an individual is entitled to them; provided, however, that any dispute after the claims procedure under Section 10 has been exhausted regarding whether an Executive’s termination of employment for purposes of Section 5 is based on either Good Reason or Cause may, at the election of the Executive, be submitted to binding arbitration pursuant to Section 11.

The Plan Administrator may promulgate any rules and regulations it deems necessary to carry out the purposes of the Plan or to interpret the terms and conditions of the Plan; provided, however, that no rule, regulation or interpretation shall be contrary to the provisions of the Plan. The rules, regulations and interpretations made by the Plan Administrator shall, where appropriate, be applied on a consistent basis with respect to similarly situated Executives, and shall be final and binding on any Executive or former Executive and any successor in interest.

The Plan Administrator may delegate any administrative duties, including, without limitation, duties with respect to the processing, review, investigation, approval and payment of severance pay and provision of severance benefits, to designated individuals or committees.

Any Executive or former Executive who believes that he or she is entitled to receive severance pay or benefits under the Plan, including severance pay or benefits other than those initially determined by the Plan Administrator, may file a claim in writing with the Plan Administrator. Within 90 days after the receipt of the claim the Plan Administrator shall either allow or deny the claim in writing, unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing, in which case a decision shall be rendered as soon as practicable, but not later than 180 days after receipt of a request for review.

A claimant whose claim is denied (or his or her duly authorized representative) may, within 60 days after receipt of the denial of his or her claim, request a review upon written application to Exelon’s Chief Human Resources Officer or other officer designated by Exelon and specified in the claim denial; review (without charge) relevant documents; and submit written comments, documents, records and other information relating to the claim.

The Chief Human Resources Officer or other designated officer shall notify the claimant of his or her decision on review within 60 days after receipt of a request for review unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing, in which case a decision shall be rendered as soon as possible, but not later than 120 days after receipt of a request for review. Notice of the decision on review shall be in writing. The officer’s decision on review shall be final and binding on any claimant or any successor in interest.

In reviewing a claim or an appeal of a claim denial, the Plan Administrator and the Chief Human Resources Officer or other designated by Exelon shall have all of the powers and authority granted to the Plan Administrator pursuant to Section 9.

11.	ARBITRATION

Any dispute, controversy or claim between the parties hereto concerning whether an Executive’s termination of employment for purposes of Section 5 is based on either Good Reason or Cause may, after the claims procedure under Section 10 has been exhausted and at the election of the Executive, be settled by binding arbitration in Chicago, Illinois, before an impartial arbitrator pursuant to the rules and regulations of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) pertaining to the arbitration of employee benefit plan disputes. The costs and fees of the arbitrator shall be borne equally by the parties, regardless of the result of the arbitration. No arbitration shall be commenced after the date when institution of legal or equitable proceedings based upon such subject matter would be barred by the applicable statutes of limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section or elsewhere in this Plan, any party may seek relief in the form of specific performance, injunctive or other equitable relief in order to enforce the decision of the arbitrator, and the Company may seek injunctive relief to enforce the above-referenced statutes of limitations.

12.	AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF PLAN

Exelon’s Chief Human Resources Officer or another designated officer of the Company may amend, modify or terminate the Plan at any time by written instrument; provided, however,

that no amendment, modification or termination shall deprive any Participant of any payment or benefit that the Plan Administrator previously has determined is payable under the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment or termination that materially adversely affects any Participant’s benefits under Section 5 shall become effective as to such Participant during: (a) the 24-month period following a Change Date or (b) during an Imminent Control Change Period (unless such Participant consents to such termination or amendment). Any purported Plan termination or amendment in violation of this Section 12 shall be void and of no effect.

13.	MISCELLANEOUS

13.1.

Limitation on Rights. Participation in the Plan is limited to the individuals described in Sections 2 and 3, and the benefits under the Plan shall not be payable with respect to any voluntary or involuntary termination of employment that is not a Termination of Employment.

13.2.

Cooperation By Participants. During the Salary Continuation Period or Severance Period, as applicable, the Executive shall (a) be reasonably available to the Company to respond to requests by them for information pertaining to or relating to matters which may be within the knowledge of the Executive and (b) reasonably cooperate with the Company in connection with any existing or future litigation or other proceedings brought by or against the Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates, to the extent the Company deems the Executive’s cooperation necessary.

13.3.

No Set-off by Company. This Section shall apply solely with respect to a Termination of Employment during a Post-Change Period or an Imminent Control Change Period that culminates in a Change Date. Except as provided in Section 6, a Participant’s right to receive when due the payments and other benefits provided for under Section 5 of this Plan is absolute, unconditional and subject to no setoff, counterclaim or legal or equitable defense.

13.4.

No Mitigation. A Participant shall not have any duty to mitigate the amounts payable by the Company under this Plan by seeking new employment following termination. Except as specifically otherwise provided in this Plan, all amounts payable pursuant to this Plan shall be paid without reduction regardless of any amounts of salary, compensation or other amounts which may be paid or payable to the Executive as the result of the Executive’s employment by another, unaffiliated employer.

13.5.

Headings. Headings of sections in this document are for convenience only, and do not constitute any part of the Plan.

13.6.

Severability. If any one or more Sections, subsections or other portions of this Plan are declared by any court or governmental authority to be unlawful or invalid, such unlawfulness or invalidity shall not serve to invalidate any Section, subsection or other portion not so declared to be unlawful or invalid. Any Section, subsection or other portion so declared to be unlawful or invalid shall be construed so as to effectuate the terms of such Section, subsection or other portion to the fullest extent possible while remaining lawful and valid. Notwithstanding

the foregoing, in the event a determination is made that the Restrictive Covenants are invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part, then the Severance Agreement with respect to the Participant subject to such determination shall be void and the Company shall have no obligation to provide benefits under this Plan to such Participant.

13.7.

Governing Law. The Plan shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the applicable provisions of ERISA and, effective January 1, 2005, Section 409A of the Code.

13.8.

No Right to Continued Employment. Nothing in this Plan shall guarantee the right of a Participant to continue in employment, and the Company retains the right to terminate a Participant’s employment at any time for any reason or for no reason.

13.9.

Successors and Assigns. This Plan shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Exelon Corporation and its successors and assigns and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of a Participant and his or her legal representatives, heirs and legatees. No rights, obligations or liabilities of a Participant hereunder shall be assignable without the prior written consent of Exelon Corporation. In the event of the death of a Participant prior to receipt of severance pay or benefits to which he or she is entitled hereunder (and, with respect to benefits under Section 4 or Section 5, after he or she has signed the Waiver and Release), the severance pay described in Sections 4.1, 5.1, or 5.2, as applicable, shall be paid to his or her estate, and the Participant’s dependents who are covered under any health care plans maintained by the Company shall be entitled to continued rights under Section 4.5 or Section 5.1(e) or Section 5.2(f), as applicable; provided that the estate or other successor of the Participant has not revoked such Waiver and Release.

13.10.

Notices. All notices and other communications under this Plan shall be in writing and delivered by hand, by nationally-recognized delivery service that promises overnight delivery, or by first-class registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed as follows:

If to a Participant, to such Participant at his most recent home address on file with the Company.

If to the Company: to the Plan Administrator.

or to such other address as either party shall have furnished to the other in writing. Notice and communications shall be effective when actually received by the addressee.

13.11.

Number and Gender. Wherever appropriate, the singular shall include the plural, the plural shall include the singular, and the masculine shall include the feminine.

13.12.

Tax Withholding/Adjustments. The Company may withhold from any amounts payable under this Plan or otherwise payable to a Participant or beneficiary any

Taxes the Company determines to be appropriate under applicable law and may report all such amounts payable to such authority in accordance with any applicable law or regulation. In addition, the Company may adjust the timing of any payment under this Plan consistent with the tax treatment of such payment including, without limitation, to comply with Section 409A of the Code.

(d)

make or retain any financial investment, whether in the form of equity or debt, or own any interest, in any Competitive Business. Nothing in this subsection shall, however, restrict you from making an investment in any Competitive Business if such investment does not (i) represent more than 1% of the aggregate market value of the outstanding capital stock or debt (as applicable) of such Competitive Business, (ii) give you any right or ability, directly or indirectly, to control or influence the policy decisions or management of such Competitive Business, and (iii) create a conflict of interest between your employment duties and your interest in such investment.

In the event that the Company is unable, after reasonable effort, to secure your execution as provided in subsection (b) above, whether because of your physical or mental incapacity or for any other reason whatsoever, you hereby irrevocably designate and appoint the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as your agent and attorney-in-fact, to act for and on your behalf to execute and file any such application or applications and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution, issuance and protection of letters patent, copyright and other intellectual property protection with the same legal force and effect as if personally executed by you.
