Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On September 19, 2006, Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Generation) entered into three separate
364-day revolving credit facilities (Credit Facilities) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Barclays
Bank PLC, and Wachovia Bank, N.A.. These Credit Facilities will provide 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 Facilities will be used principally to meet short-term financing needs at
Generation and requirements for letters of credit.
Loans outstanding under the new credit facilities will bear interest at a variable rate, determined
at the borrowers election, equal to (a) at any time a loan is a Libor Loan, the LIBO Rate for each
applicable interest period plus a specified margin and (b) at any time a loan is a Base Rate Loan,
the applicable lenders standard prime rate as in effect. In addition, Generation will pay a
facility fee, payable on the last day of each calendar quarter and on the date the commitments to
lend under the credit facility are reduced to zero, at a rate per annum equal to a specified
facility fee rate on the total amount of the Credit Facility regardless of usage.
Lending commitments under each Credit Facility will terminate 364 days after the effective date of
the facility, or earlier upon the effective date of substitute credit facilities.
The Credit Facilities include covenants generally similar to covenants in existing bi-lateral bank
credit facilities for Generation established in February 2006, including, among other covenants:
limitations on liens; limitations on mergers, consolidations and dispositions of assets; and
maintenance of a specified interest coverage ratio.
The Credit Facilities also include events of default generally similar to events of default in the
existing bi-lateral bank credit facilities for Generation established in February 2006, 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.
The description of the Credit Facilities set forth above is not complete and is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the Credit Facilities, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits
99.1 through 99.3 and are incorporated herein by reference.
