     Section 1 — Registrant’s Business and Operations
     Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
     On December 5, 2006, Exelon Corporation (Exelon) approved amendments to the Exelon Corporation Long-Term Incentive Plan (as amended and restated effective January 28, 2002) and the Exelon Corporation 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan (collectively, the “LTIPs”). The purpose of the amendments was to ensure that adjustments to outstanding awards under the LTIPs to reflect a change in Exelon’s capitalization are not treated as new grants under applicable accounting standards. Accordingly, the amendments clarify and confirm that in the event of a recapitalization, such as a stock split, stock dividend, merger, consolidation or spin-off, or a distribution to common stock holders other than a regular cash dividend, the Compensation Committee of Exelon’s Board of Directors shall appropriately adjust the terms of outstanding awards including, as applicable, the number and class of securities subject to awards and the purchase price per security.
     In addition, Exelon approved amendments to certain non-qualified deferred compensation plans. The purpose of these amendments was to impose additional restrictions on the deferral of cash and equity compensation earned in 2007 or later, and to set a time for distribution of amounts previously deferred, in accordance with guidance issued under section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Exelon Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan was amended to:
    cease deferrals of base salary and annual incentive awards earned on or after January 1, 2007;
 
    require distributions in 2007 of deferred annual incentive awards earned in 2006;
 
    require participants to elect distributions of their account balances payable in a lump sum or annual installments upon retirement, in a lump sum upon termination of employment prior to eligibility for retirement or in a lump sum in the third quarter of 2007; and
 
    continue to permit deferral of amounts that would have been contributed to Exelon’s tax-qualified savings plan but for applicable IRS limitations.
     The Exelon Corporation Stock Deferral Plan was amended to:
    cease deferrals of performance share units earned in 2007 or later;
 
    require distribution, upon vesting, of non-vested deferred performance share units earned in 2004, 2005 and 2006; and
 
    require participants to elect distributions of their remaining account balances payable in a lump sum or installments upon retirement, in a lump sum upon termination of employment prior to eligibility for retirement or in a lump sum during the third quarter of 2007.
