Third Amended and Restated Employment Agreement with John W. Rowe
On October 27, 2009, Exelon Corporation (Exelon) approved an amendment to its existing employment agreement with John W. Rowe, its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. The purpose of the amendment was to reflect Mr. Rowe’s agreement to remain at Exelon through December 31, 2012 at the request of the Exelon board of directors. The amendment:
| • | extends the retirement date provided under the existing agreement by 18 months from July 1, 2011 to December 31, 2012; |
| • | retains the current phase-out of regular and change-in-control severance benefits as of July 1, 2011, so that there will be no severance payable upon any termination of employment after July 1, 2011; |
| • | eliminates the excise tax gross-up in accordance with the policy adopted by Exelon’s Compensation Committee on April 2, 2009; and |
| • | eliminates post-retirement income tax preparation, financial and estate planning services. |
The amendment does not affect any other compensation, benefits or perquisites. A copy of the agreement is attached as Exhibit 99.1.
