WHEREAS, the Compensation/Human Resources Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the Committee and the Board, respectively) has recommended, and the Board has determined, that it is in the best interests of the Company to amend the Pepco Holdings, Inc.

2. | The Combined SERP is hereby amended to add the following new Section 3.8: |
