Each of the new credit facilities described below replaces (i) the Credit Agreements, in each case dated as of March 23, 2011, as amended, among Exelon, ComEd, PECO and BGE, as borrowers, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (JPMCB), as Administrative Agent, and various financial institutions and (ii) the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of August 1, 2011, as amended, among Pepco Holdings LLC (PHI), Pepco, DPL and ACE, as borrowers, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent and various financial institutions.

On February 1, 2022, Exelon entered into a five-year revolving credit facility with JPMCB, as Administrative Agent, and various financial institutions. This credit facility provides for an aggregate commitment of $900,000,000, which may be drawn down in the form of loans and/or letters of credit. The credit facility will be used principally to back up commercial paper issuances at Exelon and requirements for letters of credit.

On February 1, 2022, ComEd entered into a five-year revolving credit facility with JPMCB, as Administrative Agent, and various financial institutions. This credit facility provides for an aggregate commitment of $1,000,000,000, which may be drawn down in the form of loans and/or letters of credit. The credit facility will be used principally to back up commercial paper issuances at ComEd and requirements for letters of credit.

On February 1, 2022, PECO entered into a five-year revolving credit facility with JPMCB, as Administrative Agent, and various financial institutions. This credit facility provides for an aggregate commitment of $600,000,000, which may be drawn down in the form of loans and/or letters of credit.

The credit facility will be used principally to back up commercial paper issuances at PHI Utilities and requirements for letters of credit.

Lending commitments under each credit facility will terminate five years after the effective date, unless extended. Each credit facility includes provisions for one-year extensions at the option of the borrower and with the consent of the lenders. Each facility also includes provisions for reduction of the amount of the facility at the option of the borrower and provisions for the limited increase of the lenders’ commitments to lend at the request of the borrower and with the consent of the lenders.

The credit facilities include covenants generally similar to covenants in existing bank credit facilities for Exelon, ComEd, PECO, BGE and the PHI Utilities; and maintenance of a consolidated capitalization ratio of 0.65:1.00.

The credit facilities also include events of default generally similar to events of default in the existing bank credit facilities for Exelon, ComEd, PECO, BGE and the PHI Utilities, including customary events of default for agreements of this type, such as: failure to pay outstanding principal, interest, fees or other amounts due under the credit facilities; cross default to other debt in excess of a specified amount; and the failure to observe or perform covenants.
