(Atlantic City Electric Company Project)

due April 15, 2014

This is a Reoffering Agreement dated June 23, 2009 between Atlantic City Electric Company (the “Company”) and Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co. Incorporated (“Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx”), in its capacity as Remarketing Agent under the Remarketing Agreement hereinafter referred to.

SECTION 1.

BACKGROUND.

(a) The Pollution Control Financing Authority of Salem County (the “Authority”) issued $18,200,000 of its Pollution Control Revenue Refunding Bonds, 1997 Series A (Atlantic City Electric Company) (the “Bonds”) on July 30, 1997. The proceeds of the Bonds were used to refund $18,200,000 aggregate principal amount of the Authority’s Adjustable Rate Pollution Control Revenue Bonds of 1984, Series B (Atlantic City Electric Company Project), the proceeds of which were used to finance certain pollution control and solid waste disposal facilities at the Deepwater Generating Station and the Company’s 5% undivided ownership interest in certain pollution control and solid waste disposal facilities at the Hope Creek Generating Station, both of which are electric power plants located in Salem County, New Jersey.

(b) The Bonds were issued pursuant to a Trust Indenture, dated as of July 1, 1997 (the “Original Indenture”), between the Authority and The Bank of New York Mellon, as successor trustee (the “Trustee”). The Authority and the Trustee have entered into an Amended and Restated Trust Indenture, dated as of June 22, 2009, to amend and restate in its entirety the Original Indenture (the “Indenture”). The Bonds are limited obligations of the Authority payable, except to the extent payable from Bond proceeds or investment earnings thereon, solely from and are secured solely by a pledge of, revenues received by the Authority under a Pollution Control Facilities Loan Agreement, dated as of July 1, 1997 (the “Original Loan Agreement”), between the Authority and the Company. The Authority and the Company have entered into Amendment No. 1 to Pollution Control Facilities Loan Agreement, dated as of June 22, 2009, to amend the Original Loan Agreement (the Original Loan Agreement, as so amended, the “Loan Agreement”), such obligations being evidenced by a promissory note (the “Note”) of the Company previously delivered to the Trustee.

(c) The Bank of New York Mellon (“BNY”) proposes to issue and deliver to the Trustee an irrevocable, direct-pay Letter of Credit relating to the Bonds (the “Letter of Credit”), which will permit the Trustee to draw upon such Letter of Credit for the payment of the principal or redemption price of, and interest on, the Bonds pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture and in a Letter of Credit and Reimbursement Agreement, to be dated on or about June 24, 2009, by and between BNY and the Company (the “Reimbursement Agreement”).

(d) The Company and Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx have heretofore entered into the Remarketing Agreement, dated as of July 30, 1997 (the “Original Remarketing Agreement”), pursuant to which Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx undertook the duties and responsibilities of remarketing agent under the Indenture and the Remarketing Agreement (Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, in its capacity of such remarketing agent, the “Remarketing Agent”). The Original Remarketing Agreement has been amended by Amendment No. 1 to Remarketing Agreement, dated as of June 22, 2009 (the Original Remarketing Agreement, as so amended, the “Remarketing Agreement”).

(e) The Company acknowledges that the Remarketing Agent will remarket the Bonds in an offering in reliance on the representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities herein set forth. A reoffering circular, dated June 16, 2009, including the Appendices thereto and all documents incorporated therein by reference, will be distributed in connection with the remarketing of the Bonds. The reoffering circular, as it may be amended or supplemented, including the Appendices thereto (collectively, the “Appendix”), and all documents incorporated therein by reference is collectively referred to as the “Reoffering Circular.”

(f) The Remarketing Agent shall not incur any liability to the Company for its actions as Remarketing Agent pursuant to the terms hereof or of the Indenture except for (i) its gross negligence or willful misconduct and (ii) the liabilities for which the Remarketing Agent has agreed to indemnify the Company and others pursuant to Section 5(a)(ii) hereof.

SECTION 5.

COVENANTS.

(a) (i) The Company will indemnify and hold harmless (A) the Remarketing Agent, any member, director, officer, official or employee of the Remarketing Agent, and each person, if any, who controls the Remarketing Agent within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and (B) the Authority, any director, officer, official or employee of the Authority and each person, if any, who controls the Authority within the meaning of Section 15 or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Authority Indemnified Parties”), against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities whatsoever caused by any untrue or misleading statement or alleged untrue or misleading statement of a material fact contained in the Reoffering Circular, as it may be amended or supplemented, distributed in connection with the remarketing of the Bonds or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages and liabilities shall have been caused by an untrue or misleading statement or omission or an alleged untrue or misleading statement or omission which shall have been based upon (X) with respect to the indemnification of the parties referred to in clause (A) above, information relating to the Remarketing Agent furnished to the Company in writing by the Remarketing Agent expressly for use therein and (Y) with respect to the indemnification of the Authority Indemnified Parties, information relating to the Authority furnished to the Company in writing by the Authority expressly for use therein.

(ii) The Remarketing Agent agrees to indemnify and hold harmless (A) the Company, any member, director, officer or employee, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and (B) the Authority Indemnified Parties, against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities whatsoever caused by any untrue or misleading statement or alleged untrue or misleading statement of a material fact

contained in the Reoffering Circular, as it may be amended or supplemented, distributed in connection with the remarketing of the Bonds or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent and only to the extent such untrue or misleading statement or alleged untrue or misleading statement or omission or alleged omission was made in any such documents in reliance upon, and in conformity with, information furnished to the Company in writing by the Remarketing Agent expressly for use in the Reoffering Circular or any amendment or supplement thereto.

(iii) In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity is required pursuant to any of the two preceding paragraphs, such person (hereinafter called the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (hereinafter called the “indemnifying party”) in writing and the indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such indemnified party shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to local counsel) for all such indemnified parties, unless representation of more than one indemnified party by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. In the event of such a conflict, such firm shall be designated in writing (x) by the Remarketing Agent in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to (a)(i)(A) of this Section 5, (y) by the Authority in the case of the Authority Indemnified Parties and (z) by the Company in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to (a)(ii) of this Section 5. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its prior written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses contemplated by the third sentence of this paragraph, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after the receipt by the indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party for the fees and expenses to which such indemnified party is entitled

hereunder in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

(iv) If the indemnification provided for in (a)(i)(A) or (a)(ii)(A) of this Section 5 is unavailable to an indemnified party under such paragraph, in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then the indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Remarketing Agent, from the remarketing and sale of the Bonds or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Remarketing Agent in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages and liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Remarketing Agent shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the remarketing and sale of the Bonds (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total commissions received by the Remarketing Agent in connection therewith. The relative fault of the Company, and the Remarketing Agent shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Remarketing Agent and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

The Company and the Remarketing Agent agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section, the Remarketing Agent shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Bonds were remarketed and distributed to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that the Remarketing Agent has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(v) The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 5 and the representations and warranties of the Company shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Reoffering Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or the Remarketing Agent, their respective officers or directors or any other person controlling the Company or the Remarketing Agent and (iii) sale and delivery of any of the Bonds.

(vi) The provisions of this Section 5 shall inure to the benefit of the Authority Indemnified Parties as third party beneficiaries.

(b) The Company hereby authorizes the use by the Remarketing Agent of the Reoffering Circular and the information contained therein in connection with the remarketing and sale of the Bonds. The Company will promptly notify the Remarketing Agent of any Material Adverse Change occurring before the Closing Date or until distribution of the Bonds is complete which would require a change in the Reoffering Circular (including the Appendix) in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading in connection with the sale of the Bonds. After such notification, if, in the opinion of the Company, the Remarketing Agent or counsel for the Remarketing Agent, a change would be required in the Reoffering Circular in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, true and not misleading, then such change will be made in the Reoffering Circular and the Company will supply copies of the Reoffering Circular as so amended to the Remarketing Agent for distribution. The Company may deem the distribution of the Bonds to be complete on the Closing Date unless otherwise notified by the Remarketing Agent on or prior to such date. The Company will provide to the Remarketing Agent not less than two business days after the date hereof, such number of copies of the Reoffering Circular as the Remarketing Agent shall request for distribution to purchasers of the Bonds.

(c) The Company will advise the Remarketing Agent promptly of the institution of any legal or regulatory proceedings prior to the Closing Time affecting the transactions contemplated by this Reoffering Agreement.

(d) At or prior to the Closing Time, the Company will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Remarketing Agent to the extent not publicly available, copies of the Indenture and the Loan Agreement and all amendments and supplements to such documents, in each case as soon as available and in such quantities as the Remarketing Agent may reasonably request.

(e) At any time prior to the Closing Time, the Company shall have the right to require, and shall have the right of prior approval of, any amendment or supplement to the Reoffering Circular.

SECTION 6.

PAYMENT OF EXPENSES.

Whether or not the Bonds are remarketed, the Remarketing Agent shall be under no obligation to pay expenses incident to the transactions contemplated hereby. All

Nothing in this Section 6 shall limit the right of the Company to refrain from paying, or from proceeding against the Remarketing Agent with respect to, such costs and expenses if the Remarketing Agent shall have defaulted hereunder.

The Series [__] Bonds are being remarketed pursuant to the Indenture and a Reoffering Agreement, dated June 23, 2009 (“Reoffering Agreement”), between the Company and Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co. Incorporated, as remarketing agent. This opinion is being delivered pursuant to Section 4(a)(ii)(A)(i) of the Reoffering Agreement.

In our capacity as Bond Counsel to the Authority, we have examined such documents, agreements and proceedings related to the Series [__] Bonds as we deemed necessary to enable us to express the opinions set forth below, including, inter alia: original or certified copies of: (i) the Resolution of the Authority adopted on June 9, 2009 authorizing, approving, acknowledging and consenting, as applicable to, inter alia, (a) the termination of the Standby Agreement (as hereinafter defined), (b) the execution and delivery of the Amended and Restated Indenture, (c) the execution and delivery of the Loan Agreement Amendment (as hereinafter defined), (d) the cancellation of the Policy (as hereinafter defined), (e) the execution and delivery of the Cancellation Agreement (as hereinafter defined), (f) the delivery of the Letter of Credit and (g) the remarketing of the Series [__] Bonds (items (a) through (g) are collectively referred to herein as the “Transaction”); (ii) the Indenture; (iii) the Pollution Control Facilities Loan Agreement,

As to certain matters of fact, we have relied upon the representations of the Authority and the Company, and where we have deemed appropriate, representations or other certifications of public officials.

In addition, in rendering the opinions set forth below, we have assumed the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Indenture by the Trustee, the Loan Agreement Amendment by the Company, the Cancellation Agreement by the Insurer and the Company, and the Letter of Credit by the Company and the Bank.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the following opinion:

1. The Amended and Restated Indenture and the Loan Agreement Amendment have each been duly and lawfully authorized by the Authority, are in full force and effect and constitute the valid and binding obligations of the Authority enforceable against the Authority in accordance with their respective terms and no other authorization for the Amended and Restated Indenture or the Loan Agreement Amendment is required.

2. The Transaction will not, in and of itself, adversely affect the exclusion from gross income for purposes of federal income taxation of interest on the Series [__] Bonds.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I am General Counsel of Atlantic City Electric Company (the “Company”) and am rendering this opinion pursuant to Section 4(a)(ii)(A)(iii) of the Reoffering Agreement, dated June 23, 2009 (the “Reoffering Agreement”), between the Company and Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co. Incorporated, as remarketing agent under the Indenture (as hereinafter defined), relating to the remarketing of $18,200,000 aggregate principal amount of Pollution Control Revenue Refunding Bonds, 1997 Series A (Atlantic City Electric Company Project) (the “Bonds”) of The Pollution Control Financing Authority of Salem County (the “Authority”). Terms used herein and not defined have the meanings provided therefor in the Reoffering Agreement.

The Bonds were issued pursuant to a Trust Indenture, dated as of July 1, 1997 between the Authority and The Bank of New York Mellon, as successor trustee (the “Trustee”). In connection with the remarketing of the Bonds, the Authority and the Trustee have entered into an Amended and Restated Trust Indenture, dated as of June 22, 2009 (the “Indenture”). The Authority loaned the proceeds of the Bonds to the Company pursuant to a Pollution Control Facilities Loan Agreement, dated as of July 1, 1997, between the Authority and the Company (the “Original Loan Agreement”). In connection with the remarketing of the Bonds, the Original Loan Agreement was amended by Amendment No. 1 to Pollution Control Facilities Loan Agreement, dated as of June 22, 2009 (the Original Loan Agreement, as so amended, the “Loan Agreement”).

In connection with the remarketing of the Bonds, The Bank of New York Mellon (the “Bank”) issued and delivered to the Trustee an irrevocable Letter of Credit (the “Letter of Credit”), which permits the Trustee to draw upon such Letter of Credit for payment of the principal or purchase price of, and interest on, the Bonds pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture and in a Letter of Credit and Reimbursement Agreement, dated as of June 24, 2009, by and between the Bank and the Company (the “Reimbursement Agreement”).

I, or my representatives, have reviewed:

(i)	the Reoffering Agreement;

(ii)	the Reoffering Circular dated June 16, 2009, including the Appendices thereto and the documents incorporated therein by reference (collectively, the “Reoffering Circular”), for the remarketing and sale of the Bonds;

C-1

June 24, 2009

(iii )

the Loan Agreement;

(iv)	a copy of the Pollution Control Note evidencing the Company’s obligation to repay the loan provided to the Company by the Authority under the Loan Agreement (the “Note”);

(v)	the Indenture;

(vi)	a facsimile copy of the Bonds received by the Trustee;

(vii)

the Letter of Credit;

(viii)

the Reimbursement Agreement;

(ix)	the Remarketing Agreement for the Bonds, dated as of July 30, 1997, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Remarketing Agreement, dated as of June 22, 2009 (the remarketing agreement, as so amended, the “Remarketing Agreement”); and

(x)	the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company and its Amended and Restated By-Laws.

I, or my representatives, also have examined or caused to be examined originals, or copies that have been certified or otherwise identified to my or their satisfaction as being true copies, of such other instruments, certificates and other documents or records as I or they have deemed necessary or appropriate to enable me to render the opinions set forth below. In my or my representatives’ review and examination, I or they have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to me or them as originals, and the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to me or them as copies. I have assumed that the Authority has duly authorized, executed and delivered the Loan Agreement and that the Loan Agreement is the valid and binding obligation of the Authority, enforceable against the Authority in accordance with its terms. I also have assumed that the Company has duly authorized, executed and delivered the Note.

Based on the foregoing, and subject to the reservations and limitations and exceptions set forth herein, I am of the opinion that:

1. The Company is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required, whether by reason of the ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of business, except where the failure so to qualify or to be in good standing would not result in a Material Adverse Effect.

2. Each of the Loan Agreement, the Reimbursement Agreement, the Remarketing Agreement and the Reoffering Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company.

C-2

June 24, 2009

Page 3

3. The Loan Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditor’s rights and to general equity principles. The Note constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditor’s rights and to general equity principles.

4. The execution and delivery of the Loan Agreement, the Reimbursement Agreement, the Remarketing Agreement and the Reoffering Agreement, and performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder, do not and will not violate or constitute a default under (i) the Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the Amended and Restated By-Laws of the Company, (ii) any statute, governmental rule or regulation, or court order by which the Company or its property is bound, or (iii) any agreement, indenture, mortgage, lease, note or other obligation or instrument to which the Company is a party, excluding, in the case of (ii) or (iii) above, violations or defaults that would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

5. Except for the authorization of the State of New Jersey Board of Public Utilities duly granted in its Docket No. EF97050362, dated June 30, 1997, which order remains in full force and effect, no approval or other action by any governmental authority or agency is required in connection with the execution and delivery of the Loan Agreement, the Remarketing Agreement and the Reoffering Agreement, and performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder.

6. The Company holds valid and subsisting franchises, licenses and permits authorizing it to carry on the utility businesses in which it is engaged.

7. The statements contained in the Reoffering Circular under the captions “THE BONDS,” “THE LETTERS OF CREDIT,” “THE AGREEMENTS AND THE NOTES” and “THE INDENTURES,” insofar as such statements constitute summaries of the provisions of the Indenture, the Letter of Credit, the Reimbursement Agreement and the Loan Agreement described therein, are accurate in all material respects and fairly summarize the matters referred to therein.

8. The documents incorporated by reference in Appendix A to the Reoffering Circular (other than the financial statements, including the notes thereto, and financial schedules and other financial data included or incorporated therein, or omitted therefrom, as to which I express no opinion), when they were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) complied as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

The opinion set forth in paragraph 3 is subject to the following limitations and qualifications:

C-3

June 24, 2009

Page 4

(a) I express no opinion as to:

(i) restrictions upon assignments of a party’s rights under the Loan Agreement; or

(ii) provisions requiring amendments and waivers to be in writing and provisions making notices effective even if not actually received.

(b) No opinion is being expressed herein on any provision relating to indemnification or contribution in connection with securities laws or relating to indemnification, conditions of exculpation in connection with willful, reckless, or criminal acts or negligence of the indemnified person or entity or the person or entity receiving indemnification or contribution.

In addition, I advise you that, I know of no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation at law or equity by a judicial or administrative court or agency, pending or threatened, against the Company, that is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on (i) the validity or enforceability of the Loan Agreement, the Reimbursement Agreement, the Remarketing Agreement or the Reoffering Agreement or (ii) except as disclosed in the Reoffering Circular, the Company or its business.

Further, I am not passing upon and do not assume responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Reoffering Circular and make no representations that I have independently verified the accuracy, completeness or fairness of such statements, except insofar as such statements refer specifically to me. However, based on my or my representatives’ examination of the Reoffering Circular, on my general familiarity with the affairs of the Company and on my or my representatives’ participation in conferences with officials and other representatives of, and other counsel for, the Company, with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the independent accountants of the Company, and with your representatives and your counsel, nothing came to my attention in the course of such review which has caused me to believe that the Reoffering Circular as of its date contained, or as of the date hereof contains, any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The foregoing statement is subject to the qualification that I do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Reoffering Circular (except as set forth in paragraph 7) and I am not expressing any opinion or belief on (i) the financial statements, including the notes thereto, the financial schedules and the other financial data included or incorporated by reference in the Reoffering Circular and (ii) any of the information in the following sections of the Reoffering Circular:

·	The sections of the Reoffering Circular headed:

·	The information included in Appendix B of the Reoffering Circular.

·	The information included in Appendix C of the Reoffering Circular.

I am a member of the Bar of the District of Columbia and the Bar of the State of Maryland, and I express no opinion herein as to any law other than the laws of the State of New Jersey, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the federal law of the United States. With respect to the laws of the State of New Jersey, I have relied on the opinion, dated the date hereof, of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxxxx, an employee of PHI Service Company, that is being delivered to your pursuant to Section 4(a)(ii)(A)(iii) of the Reoffering Agreement. With respect to the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, I have received advice, satisfactory to me, from Pennsylvania counsel admitted in such jurisdiction whom I deem fully competent to furnish such advice.

The opinions contained herein are rendered solely for your benefit and may not be relied on by any other person, except that I hereby authorize Xxxxx & XxXxxxx LLP, in connection with rendering its opinion to you on the date hereof relating to the remarketing of the Bonds, to rely on such opinions with respect to matters governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The opinions expressed in this letter are limited to the matters set forth herein, and no opinion should be inferred beyond those opinions expressly stated.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I am an employee of PHI Service Company and I am authorized to provide legal services to its affiliate, Atlantic City Electric Company (the “Company”). I am rendering this opinion pursuant to Section 4(a)(ii)(A)(iii) of the Reoffering Agreement, dated June 23, 2009 (the “Reoffering Agreement”), between the Company and Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co. Incorporated, as remarketing agent under the Indenture (as hereinafter defined), relating to the remarketing of $18,200,000 aggregate principal amount of Pollution Control Revenue Refunding Bonds, 1997 Series A (Atlantic City Electric Company Project) (the “Bonds”) of The Pollution Control Financing Authority of Salem County (the “Authority”). Terms used herein and not defined have the meanings provided therefor in the Reoffering Agreement.

The Bonds were issued pursuant to a Trust Indenture, dated as of July 1, 1997, between the Authority and The Bank of New York Mellon, as successor trustee (the “Trustee”). In connection with the remarketing of the Bonds, the Authority and the Trustee have entered into an Amended and Restated Trust Indenture, dated as of June 22, 2009 (the “Indenture”). The Authority loaned the proceeds of the Bonds to the Company pursuant to a Pollution Control Facilities Loan Agreement, dated as of July 1, 1997, between the Authority and the Company (the “Original Loan Agreement”). The Original Loan Agreement was amended by Amendment No. 1 to Pollution Control Facilities Loan Agreement, dated as of June 22, 2009 (the Original Loan Agreement, as so supplemented, the “Loan Agreement”).

I have reviewed:

(i) the Reoffering Agreement;

(ii) the Loan Agreement;

(iii) the Indenture;

(iv) the Reimbursement Agreement;

(v) the Remarketing Agreement for the Bonds, dated as of July 30, 1997, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Remarketing Agreement, dated as of June 22, 2009 (the remarketing agreement, as so amended, the “Remarketing Agreement”);

(vi) a copy of the Pollution Control Note evidencing the Company’s obligation to repay the loan provided to the Company by the Authority under the Loan Agreement (the “Note”); and

(vii) the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company and its Amended and Restated By-Laws.

I also have examined or caused to be examined originals, or copies that have been certified or otherwise identified to my satisfaction as being true copies, of such other instruments, certificates and other documents or records as I have deemed necessary or appropriate to enable me to render the opinions set forth below. In my review and examination, I have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, and the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to me as copies.

I have assumed that the Loan Agreement and the Reoffering Agreement have been duly executed and delivered by the Company (except to the extent that the execution and delivery thereof is governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey). I have assumed that the Authority has duly authorized, executed and delivered the Loan Agreement and that the Loan Agreement is the valid and binding obligation of the Authority, enforceable against the Authority in accordance with its terms. I also have assumed that the Company has duly authorized, executed and delivered the Note.

Based on the foregoing, and subject to the reservations and limitations and exceptions set forth herein, I am of the opinion that:

1. The Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of New Jersey, with full corporate power to conduct the business now being conducted by it, to own and operate the properties used and useful in said business and to execute and deliver and to carry out and perform its obligations under the Loan Agreement, the Reimbursement Agreement, the Remarketing Agreement and the Reoffering Agreement.

2. Each of the Loan Agreement, the Reimbursement Agreement, the Remarketing Agreement and the Reoffering Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company.

3. The Loan Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, subject to

D-2

June 24, 2009

Page 3

bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditor’s rights and to general equity principles. The Note constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditor’s rights and to general equity principles.

4. The execution and delivery of the Loan Agreement, the Reimbursement Agreement, the Remarketing Agreement and the Reoffering Agreement, and performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder, do not and will not violate or constitute a default under (i) the Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the Amended and Restated By-Laws of the Company or (ii) any statute, governmental rule or regulation, or court order by which the Company or its property is bound, excluding violations or defaults that would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

5. Except for the authorization of the State of New Jersey Board of Public Utilities duly granted in its Docket No. EF97050362, dated June 30, 1997, which order remains in full force and effect, no approval or other action by any governmental authority or agency within the State of New Jersey is required in connection with the execution and delivery of the Loan Agreement, the Reimbursement Agreement, the Remarketing Agreement and the Reoffering Agreement, and performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder.

The opinion set forth in paragraph 3 is subject to the following limitations and qualifications:

(a) I express no opinion as to:

(i) restrictions upon assignments of a party’s rights under the Agreement; or

(ii) provisions requiring amendments and waivers to be in writing and provisions making notices effective even if not actually received.

This opinion is given as of the date and time of delivery hereof solely in connection with settlement of the sale of the Bonds on the date hereof and no opinion is expressed as to any matter not explicitly set forth in the numbered paragraphs herein. I assume no obligation to update or supplement this opinion to reflect any facts or

circumstances that may hereafter come to my attention or any changes in laws which may hereafter occur.

I am a member of the Bar of the State of New Jersey, and I express no opinion herein as to any law other than the laws of the State of New Jersey.

The opinions contained herein are rendered solely for your benefit and may not be relied on by any other person, except that I hereby authorize Xxxxx & XxXxxxx LLP, in connection with rendering its opinion to you on the date hereof relating to the remarketing of the Bonds, to rely on such opinions with respect to matters governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey. The opinions expressed in this letter are limited to the matters set forth herein, and no opinion should be inferred beyond those opinions expressly stated. I assume no obligation to advise you of any facts that come to my attention, or any changes in law, subsequent to the date hereof.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We are special counsel to Atlantic City Electric Company (the “Company”) and are rendering this opinion pursuant to Section 4(a)(ii)(A)(iv) of the Reoffering Agreement, dated June 23, 2009 (the “Reoffering Agreement”), between the Company and Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co. Incorporated, as remarketing agent under the Indenture (as hereinafter defined), relating to the remarketing of $18,200,000 aggregate principal amount of Pollution Control Revenue Refunding Bonds, 1997 Series A (Atlantic City Electric Company Project) (the “Bonds”) of The Pollution Control Financing Authority of Salem County (the “Authority”). Terms used herein and not defined have the meanings provided therefor in the Reoffering Agreement.

The Bonds were issued pursuant to a Trust Indenture, dated as of July 1, 1997, between the Authority and The Bank of New York Mellon, as successor trustee (the “Trustee”). In connection with the remarketing of the Bonds, the Authority and the Trustee have entered into an Amended and Restated Trust Indenture, dated as of June 22, 2009 (the “Indenture”). The Authority loaned the proceeds of the Bonds to the Company pursuant to a Pollution Control Facilities Loan Agreement, dated as of July 1, 1997, between the Authority and the Company (the “Original Loan Agreement”). The Original Loan Agreement was amended by an Amendment No. 1 to Pollution Control Facilities Loan Agreement, dated as of June 22, 2009 (the Original Loan Agreement, as so supplemented, the “Loan Agreement”).

We have reviewed:

(i) the Reoffering Agreement;

(ii) the Reoffering Circular, dated June 16, 2009, including the Appendices thereto and the documents incorporated therein by reference (collectively, the “Reoffering Circular”), for the remarketing and sale of the Bonds;

(iii) the Loan Agreement;

(iv) a copy of the Pollution Control Note evidencing the Company’s obligation to repay the loan provided to the Company by the Authority under the Loan Agreement;

(v) the Indenture;

(vi) the Remarketing Agreement for the Bonds, dated as of July 30, 1997, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Remarketing Agreement, dated as of June 22, 2009 (the remarketing agreement, as so amended, the “Remarketing Agreement”);

(vii) a facsimile copy of the Bonds provided by the Trustee;

(viii) the Letter of Credit; and

(ix) the Reimbursement Agreement.

We also have reviewed such corporate records, certificates and other documents and such questions of law, as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purposes of rendering this opinion.

We have assumed that all signatures are genuine, that all documents submitted to us as originals are authentic and that all copies of documents submitted to us conform to the originals. We have assumed further that (i) the Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of New Jersey, has all requisite power, authority and legal right, to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Loan Agreement, the Reimbursement Agreement, the Remarketing Agreement and the Reoffering Agreement and has obtained all authorizations and approvals of governmental authorities necessary therefor, and (ii) the Loan Agreement, the Reimbursement Agreement, the Remarketing Agreement and the Reoffering Agreement have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company (except to the extent that the execution and delivery thereof is governed by the laws of the State of New York).

We have made no investigation for the purpose of verifying the assumptions set forth herein.

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications set forth below, we are of the opinion that:

1. The Loan Agreement, the Reimbursement Agreement, the Remarketing Agreement and the Reoffering Agreement have been duly executed and delivered by the Company (insofar as the validity of such execution and delivery is governed by the laws of the State of New York).

2. The statements contained in the Reoffering Circular under the captions “THE BONDS,” “THE LETTERS OF CREDIT,” “THE AGREEMENTS AND THE NOTES” and “THE INDENTURES,” insofar as such statements constitute summaries of the provisions of the Indenture, the Letter of Credit, the Reimbursement Agreement and the Loan Agreement described therein, are accurate in all material respects and fairly summarize the matters referred to therein.

3. The Company is not an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

4. The offer and resale of the Bonds by the Company in accordance with the Reoffering Agreement does not require registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. In expressing this opinion, we have assumed, with your permission, and without having conducted any independent investigation or analysis with respect to the matter, that the Bonds have been duly and validly issued and that the interest thereon is not includable (with only the limited exceptions expressly set forth in the opinions of bond counsel referred to below) in the gross income of the owners thereof for United States federal income tax purposes. We note that (i) in connection with the initial issuance of the Bonds Xxxxxx XxXxx P.A. (formerly known as Xxxxxx, XxXxx & Xxxxxxxxx, P.A.), as bond counsel, issued an opinion dated as of July 30, 1997, regarding, among other things, (A) the United States federal income tax treatment of the interest on the Bonds and (B) the valid issuance of the Bonds by the Authority and (ii) you have received an opinion from Xxxxxx XxXxx P.A., as bond counsel, of even date herewith, regarding the United States federal income tax treatment of the interest on the Bonds after giving effect to: (1) the execution and delivery of the Indenture, (2) the execution and delivery of the Loan Agreement, (3) the termination on June 22, 2009 of the financial guaranty insurance policy previously issued by MBIA Insurance Corporation for the benefit of the holders of the Bonds, (4) the termination of the Standby Bond Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 30, 1997, among the Company, the banks party thereto and The Bank of New York Mellon (formerly known as The Bank of New York), as agent, with respect to the Bonds and (5) the execution of the Letter of Credit with respect to the Bonds.

In accordance with our understanding with the Company as to the scope of our services in connection with the remarketing of the Bonds, as special counsel to the Company, we reviewed the Reoffering Circular and participated in discussions with your representatives and those of the Company, your counsel and the Company’s accountants. On the basis of the information which was reviewed by us in the course of the performance of the services referred to above, considered in the light of our understanding of the applicable law and the experience we have gained through our practice under the federal securities laws, we confirm to you that nothing came to our attention in the course of such review which has caused us to believe that the Reoffering Circular as of its date contained, or as of the date hereof contains, any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

Also, we do not express any opinion or belief as to (i) the financial statements, including the notes thereto, the financial schedules and the other financial and statistical data included in the Reoffering Circular and (ii) any of the information in the following sections of the Reoffering Circular:
