The aggregate weighted goal result is then adjusted by a percentage equal to the
difference (either positive or negative) between the Company’s TSR percentage
for the performance period and the aggregate TSR percentage of the Philadelphia
Utility Index for such period (provided that the adjusted payout level shall not
exceed 200% of target). In addition, in the event the Company’s TSR for the
performance period is negative, the amount payable under the Award shall not
exceed target.

The percentage of Shares that become Earned Shares shall be determined using
interpolation between performance levels as set forth above and none of the
shares of common stock subject to a performance goal shall be Earned Shares for
performance below the threshold performance level.

In the event the Participant transfers between full- and part-time status during
the Performance Period, the Participant’s Award will be appropriately pro-rated

the final amount payable based on company-wide performance or general
market/economic conditions.

(the “Award Notice”) as of the date set forth in the Award Notice (the “Grant
Date”), pursuant to the provisions of the Exelon Corporation 2020 Long-Term
Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), a performance share award (the “Award”) with
respect to the number of Target Shares of the Company’s Common Stock, without
par value (“Stock”), set forth in the Award Notice, upon and subject to the

“Agreement”). Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings
specified in the Plan.

privileges of ownership with respect to the shares of Stock subject to the Award
unless and until, and only to the extent, such shares become Earned Shares
pursuant to the Award Notice and become vested pursuant to Section 3 hereof and
the Participant becomes a stockholder of record with respect to such shares.
3.    Restriction Period and Vesting.
3.1.    Performance-Based Vesting Conditions. Subject to the remainder of this
Section 3, the number of shares that become Earned Shares shall be determined in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Plan based on the
achievement of the performance goals and adjustments set forth in the Award
Notice (the “Performance Measures”) over the performance period set forth in the
Award Notice (the “Performance Period”), and shall vest if the Participant
remains in continuous employment with the Company through the last day of the

employment with the Company and the Subsidiaries terminates by reason of
Retirement, Disability or death, and the Participant has not breached his or her
obligations to the Company or any of its affiliates under any Restrictive
Covenant, then (i) if such event occurs within the first 12 months of the
Performance Period, then the Participant shall become vested in a pro-rated
number of the Earned Shares (or cash in lieu thereof) based on the number of
elapsed days in such 12-month period as of the termination date (pro-ration
determined by dividing the number of elapsed days by 365), and (ii) if such
event occurs after the first 12 months of the Performance Period, then the

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Participant shall become fully vested in all Earned Shares (or cash in lieu
thereof); in each case based on the extent to which the applicable performance

participates), and the Participant timely executes a waiver and release provided
by the Company and has not breached his or her obligations to the Company or any
of its affiliates under any Restrictive Covenant, then (i) if the Participant is
eligible for Retirement as of the termination date, then the Participant shall
become vested in a pro-rated number of the Earned Shares (or cash in lieu
thereof) as determined under the applicable provisions of paragraph (a) above,
and (ii) if the Participant is not eligible for Retirement as of the termination
date, then the Participant shall become vested in a pro-rated number of Earned

dividing the number of elapsed days by the total number of days in the
Performance Period); in each case based on the extent to which the applicable
performance goals are attained at the end of the Performance Period. In either
event, the Earned Shares shall be issued, or the cash in lieu of such Earned
Shares paid, within 2 1/2 months after the last day of the Performance Period.

the Company and the Subsidiaries terminates prior to the end of the Performance
Period for any reason other than those specified in paragraphs (a) and (b)
above, or if Participant breaches or threatens to breach his or her obligations
under any Restrictive Covenant or does not timely execute any waiver and release
as required by the Company, then the Award shall be immediately forfeited by the
Participant and cancelled by the Company.

the portion of the Award surrendered, to the extent the Performance Period has

extent that the Performance Measures have been satisfied, multiplied by the Fair
Market Value of a share of Stock as of the date of the Change in Control;
(B) shares of capital stock of the corporation resulting from such Change in
Control, or a parent corporation thereof, having a Fair Market Value not less
than the amount determined in clause (iii)(A) of this

3.4.    Definitions.
(a)    Cause. For purposes of this Award, “Cause” shall mean (A) with respect to
a Participant whose position is at least salary band E09 (or its equivalent),
the meaning of such term as defined in the Exelon Corporation Senior Management
Severance Plan as in effect from time to time, or any successor plan thereto, or
(B) with respect to any other Participant, the meaning of such term as defined
in the Exelon Corporation Severance Benefit Plan as in effect from time to time,
or any successor plan thereto, regardless of whether Participant is eligible to
participate in such plan.
(b)    Disability. For purposes of this Award, “Disability” shall have the
meaning specified in any long-term disability plan maintained by the Company in
which Participant is eligible to participate; provided that a Disability shall
not be deemed to have occurred until the Company and the Subsidiaries have
terminated Participant’s employment in connection with such disability, and
Participant has commenced the receipt of long-term disability benefits under
such plan. If Participant is not eligible to participate in a long-term
disability plan maintained by the Company, then Disability means a termination
of Participant’s employment by the Company and the Subsidiaries due to the
inability of Participant to perform the essential functions of Participant’s
position, with or without reasonable accommodation, for a continuous period of
at least twelve months, as determined solely by the Committee.

between Participant and the Company or any of its affiliates.

Cause) on or after attaining at least age 55 and completing at least ten years
of service with the Company or Subsidiaries.
4.    Issuance or Delivery of Shares and Payment of Cash. Subject to
Section 7.12 and except as otherwise provided for herein or in the Plan, the
Company shall issue, deliver or pay to the Participant, subject to the
conditions of this Agreement, the vested portion of any Earned Shares, or cash
in lieu thereof, not later than March 15th of the year following the completion
of the Performance Period. Any issuance or delivery of shares of Stock shall be
evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly
authorized transfer agent of the Company. The Company shall pay all original
issue or transfer taxes and all fees and expenses incident to such issuance or
delivery, except as otherwise provided in Section 7. Prior to the issuance to
the Participant of the shares of Stock subject to the Award, the Participant
shall have no direct or secured claim in any specific assets of the Company or
in such shares of Stock, and will have the status of a general unsecured
creditor of the Company.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5.    Clawback of Proceeds.
5.1.    Clawback of Proceeds. If Participant breaches his or her obligations to
the Company or any Subsidiary under a Restrictive Covenant, the Award shall be
cancelled as of the date on which the Participant first breached such
Restrictive Covenant and the Company thereafter may require the repayment of any
amounts received by Participant after such date in connection with the Award, in
accordance with Section 1.8 of the Plan. In addition, the Award and any Shares
issued or cash paid pursuant to the Award shall be subject to clawback pursuant
to the Clawback Policy contained in the Exelon Corporation Corporate Governance

standards or rules and regulations thereunder, or as otherwise required by law
or regulation.

of the Company or any affiliate to the Participant, including, without
limitation, any amount payable to the Participant as salary, wages, vacation
pay, bonus or the vesting or settlement of the Award or any stock-based award.
This right of setoff shall not be an exclusive remedy and the Company’s or an
affiliate’s election not to exercise this right of setoff with respect to any
amount payable to the Participant shall not constitute a waiver of this right of
setoff with respect to any other amount payable to the Participant or any other
remedy.
6.    Transfer Restrictions and Investment Representation.
6.1.    Nontransferability of Award. The Award may not be transferred by the
Participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Except
to the extent permitted by the foregoing sentence, the Award may not be sold,
transferred, assigned, pledged, hypothecated, encumbered or otherwise disposed
of (whether by operation of law or otherwise) or be subject to execution,

pledge, hypothecate, encumber or otherwise dispose of the Award, the Award and
all rights hereunder shall immediately become null and void.

sale of any share of Stock acquired upon the vesting of the Award shall be made
either pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and any applicable state securities
laws, or pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and
such state securities laws and (b) the Participant shall comply with all
regulations and requirements of any regulatory authority having control of or
supervision over the issuance of the shares and, in connection therewith, shall

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

7.    Additional Terms and Conditions of Award.
7.1.    Withholding Taxes. As a condition precedent to the issuance or delivery
of the Stock upon the vesting of the Award, at the Company’s discretion either
(i) the Participant shall pay to the Company such amount as the Company (or an
affiliate) determines is required, under all applicable federal, state, local,
foreign or other laws or regulations, to be withheld and paid over as income or
other withholding taxes (the “Required Tax Payments”) with respect to the Award
or (ii) the Company or an affiliate may, in its discretion, deduct any Required
Tax Payments from any amount then or thereafter payable by the Company or an
affiliate to the Participant, which may include the withholding of whole shares
of Stock which would otherwise be delivered to the Participant having an
aggregate Fair Market Value, determined as of the date on which such withholding
obligation arises, equal to the Required Tax Payments, in either case in
accordance with such terms, conditions and procedures that may be prescribed by
the Company. Shares of Stock withheld may not have a Fair Market Value in excess
of the amount determined by applying the maximum individual statutory tax rate
in the Participant’s jurisdiction; provided that the Company shall be permitted
to limit the number of shares so withheld to a lesser number if necessary, as
determined by the Company, to avoid adverse accounting consequences or for
administrative convenience; provided, however, that if a fraction of a share of
Stock would be required to satisfy the maximum individual statutory rate in the
Participant’s jurisdiction, then such fraction of a share of Stock shall be
disregarded and the remaining amount due shall be paid in cash by the
Participant or paid in fractional form, as determined by the Committee. No
certificate representing a share of Stock shall be delivered until the Required
Tax Payments have been satisfied in full. Any determination by the Company with
respect to the withholding of shares of Stock to satisfy the Required Tax
Payments shall be made by the Committee if the Participant is subject to
Section 16 of the Exchange Act. To the extent the Award is paid in cash, the
Required Tax Payments shall be withheld from such payment.
7.2.    Compliance with Applicable Law. The Award is subject to the condition
that if the listing, registration or qualification of the shares of Stock
subject to the Award upon any securities exchange or under any law, or the
consent or approval of any governmental body, or the taking of any other action
is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the delivery
of shares hereunder, the shares of Stock subject to the Award shall not be
delivered, in whole or in part, unless such listing, registration,
qualification, consent, approval or other action shall have been effected or
obtained, free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company. The Company
agrees to use reasonable efforts to effect or obtain any such listing,
registration, qualification, consent, approval or other action.
7.3.    Award Confers No Rights to Continued Employment. In no event shall the
granting of the Award or its acceptance by the Participant, or any provision of
the Agreement or the Plan, give or be deemed to give the Participant any right
to continued employment by the Company, any Subsidiary or any affiliate of the
Company or affect in any manner the right of the Company, any Subsidiary or any
affiliate of the Company to terminate the employment of any person at any time.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

7.4.    Decisions of Board or Committee. The Board or the Committee shall have
the right to resolve all questions which may arise in connection with the Award.

that if a notice, request or other communication sent to the Company is not
received during regular business hours, it shall be deemed to be received on the
next succeeding business day of the Company.
7.7.    Governing Law. This Agreement, the Award and all determinations made and
actions taken pursuant hereto and thereto, to the extent not governed by the
laws of the United States, shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania and construed in accordance therewith without giving effect to
principles of conflicts of laws, and, to the extent applicable, Section 409A of
the Code.
7.8.    Agreement Subject to the Plan. This Agreement is subject to the
provisions of the Plan and shall be interpreted in accordance therewith. In the
event that the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan conflict, the Plan
shall control. The Participant hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the
Plan.
7.9.    Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire
agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede

exempt from or comply with Section 409A of the Code, and shall be interpreted
and construed accordingly. To the extent this Agreement provides for the Award
to become vested and be settled upon the Participant’s termination of
employment, the applicable shares of Stock shall be transferred to the
Participant or his or her beneficiary upon the Participant’s “separation from
service,” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code; provided that if the
Participant is a “specified employee,” within the meaning of Section 409A of the
Code, then to the extent the Award constitutes nonqualified deferred
compensation, within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, such shares of
Stock shall be transferred to the Participant or his or her beneficiary upon the
