Ladies and Gentlemen:

Delmarva Power & Light Company, a Delaware and Virginia corporation (the "Company"), agrees with the institutional investors listed in the attached Schedule A (the "Purchasers") to this Note Purchase Agreement (this "Agreement") as follows:

Section 1. Authorization of Notes.

The Company will authorize the issue and sale of $100,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 5.22% Notes due December 30, 2016 (the "Notes"). The Notes will be issued under and in accordance with the Indenture, dated as of November 1, 1988, between the Company and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., trustee (the "Indenture Trustee"), as supplemented by an officers' certificate, to be dated the date of the Closing (the "Indenture Certificate"), establishing the terms of the Notes, such Indenture, as so supplemented, being herein called the "Indenture." The Indenture Certificate and the Notes shall be substantially in the form set out in Exhibit A hereto, with such changes therefrom, if any, as may be approved by the Purchasers and the Company. Payment of principal and interest on the Notes when due will be insured by a financial guaranty insurance policy (the "Financial Guaranty Insurance Policy") in substantially the form attached as Exhibit B hereto to be issued by MBIA Insurance Corporation (the "Insurer") simultaneously with the delivery of the Notes. Certain capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Indenture Certificate unless otherwise defined in Schedule B to this Agreement or the context hereof shall otherwise require.

Section 2. Sale and Purchase of Notes.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company will issue and sell to each Purchaser and each Purchaser will purchase from the Company, at the Closing provided for in Section 3, Notes in the principal amount, if any, specified opposite such Purchaser's name in Schedule A to this Agreement at the purchase price of 100% of the principal amount thereof.

(b) The Company has not agreed or consented to cause or permit in the future (upon the happening of a contingency or otherwise) any of its property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, to be subject to a Lien not permitted by the Indenture.

Section 5.16. Foreign Assets Control Regulations, Etc. The use of the proceeds from the sale of the Notes will not violate the Trading with the Enemy Act, as amended, or any of the foreign assets control regulations of the United States Treasury Department (31 CFR, Subtitle B, Chapter V, as amended) or any enabling legislation or executive order relating thereto. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company (a) is not and will not become a person whose property or interests in property are blocked pursuant to Section 1 of Executive Order 13224 of September 23, 2001 (Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions with Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism) (66 Fed.

(b) the Source is a separate account that is maintained solely in connection with such Purchaser's fixed contractual obligations under which the amounts payable, or credited, to any employee benefit plan (or its related trust) that has any interest in such separate

(d) (i) the Source constitutes assets of an "investment fund" (within the meaning of Part V of PTE 84-14 (the "QPAM Exemption")) managed by a "qualified professional asset manager" or "QPAM" (within the meaning of Part V of the QPAM Exemption), (ii) no employee benefit plan's assets that are included in such investment fund, when combined with the assets of all other employee benefit plans established or maintained by the same employer or by an affiliate (within the meaning of Section V(c)(1) of the QPAM Exemption) of such employer or by the same employee organization and managed by such QPAM, exceed 20% of the total client assets managed by such QPAM, (iii) the conditions of Part I(c) and (g) of the QPAM Exemption are satisfied, (iv) as of the last day of its most recent calendar quarter, the QPAM does not own a 10% or greater interest in the Company, (v) as of the last day of its most recent calendar quarter, no person controlling or controlled by the QPAM owns a 20% or greater interest in the Company or owns a 10% or greater interest in the Company and exercises control over the management or policies of the Company by reason of its ownership interest, and (vi) the identity of such QPAM and, except where the Source satisfies the exception set forth in the last paragraph of Part I(a) of the QPAM Exemption, the names of all employee benefit plans whose assets are included in such investment fund, have been disclosed to the Company in writing pursuant to this clause (d); or

(e) the Source constitutes assets of a "plan(s)" (within the meaning of Section IV of PTE 96-23 (the "INHAM Exemption")) managed by an "in-house asset manager" or "INHAM" (within the meaning of Part IV of the INHAM Exemption), the conditions of Part I(a), (g) and (h) of the INHAM Exemption are satisfied, neither the INHAM nor a person controlling or controlled by the INHAM (applying the definition of "control" in Section IV(d) of the INHAM Exemption) owns a 5% or more interest in the Company and (i) the identity of such INHAM and (ii) the name(s) of the employee benefit plan(s) whose assets constitute the Source have been disclosed to the Company in writing pursuant to this clause (e); or

(f) the Source is a governmental plan; or

(g) the Source is one or more employee benefit plans, or a separate account or trust fund comprised of one or more employee benefit plans, each of which has been identified to the Company in writing pursuant to this clause (g); or

(h) the Source does not include assets of any employee benefit plan, other than a plan exempt from the coverage of ERISA and from Section 4975 of the Code.

granted, on the same terms, ratably to each Holder of Notes then outstanding even if such Holder did not consent to such waiver or amendment.

Section 17.3. Binding Effect, Etc. Any amendment or waiver consented to as provided in this Section 17 applies equally to all Holders of Notes and is binding upon them and upon each future Holder of any Note and upon the Company without regard to whether such Note has been marked to indicate such amendment or waiver. No such amendment or waiver will extend to or affect any obligation, covenant, agreement, Default or Event of Default not expressly amended or waived or impair any right consequent thereon. No course of dealing between the Company and the Holder of any Note nor any delay in exercising any rights hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver of any rights of any Holder of such Note. As used herein, the term "this Agreement" and references thereto shall mean this Agreement as it may from time to time be amended or supplemented.

Section 17.4. Governing Documents. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, any amendment, supplement or other modification of or to the Notes, the Indenture Certificate and/or the Indenture, or any waiver of any covenant or other obligation thereunder or of any Default or Event of Default, and the effect of any thereof, shall be governed solely by the provisions of the Indenture.

DELMARVA POWER & LIGHT COMPANY, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware and the Commonwealth of Virginia (herein called the "Company," which term includes any successor person under the Indenture referred to herein), for value received, hereby promises to pay to [_____________] or registered assigns, the principal sum of [_________________] on December 30, 2016, and to pay interest on said principal sum semi-annually on June 30 and December 30 of each year (each an "Interest Payment Date"), commencing June 30, 2007, at the rate of 5.22% per annum, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment. Interest on the securities of the Company of this series designated 5.22% Notes due December 30, 2016 (herein called the "Securities") will accrue from December 20, 2006 to the first Interest Payment Date, and thereafter will accrue from the last Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for. In the event that any Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day, then payment of interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date (and without any interest or other payment in respect of such delay). The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be the first calendar day of the month in which such Interest Payment Date occurs; provided, however, that interest payable at Maturity will be paid to the Person to whom principal is paid.

Payment of the principal of and the Make-Whole Amount, if any, on this Security will be made upon presentation at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in The City of New York, the State of New York in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts; provided, however, that payment of the principal of and the Make-Whole Amount, if any, on this Security may be made by such other method as may be agreed in writing by the Company and

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company, of the series designated "5.22% Notes due December 30, 2016", all issued and to be issued under an Indenture, dated as of November 1, 1988 (such Indenture, as originally executed and delivered and as thereafter supplemented and amended, together with any constituent instruments establishing the terms of particular Securities, being herein called the "Indenture") between the Company and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A. (as successor in interest to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.), as successor trustee (herein called the "Trustee", which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The acceptance of this Security shall be deemed to constitute the consent and agreement by the Holder hereof to all of the terms and provisions of the Indenture.

The Company shall give notice of its intent to redeem such Securities of this series at least 30 days but no more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date. If the Company redeems all or any part of the Securities of this series pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph, it shall pay a Redemption Price equal to the greater of

(1) 100% of the principal amount of the Securities of this series being redeemed, and

(2) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest (not including the portion of any scheduled payment of interest which accrued prior to the Redemption Date) on the Securities of this series being redeemed, discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points (the "Make-Whole Amount"),

plus, in each case, accrued interest on those Securities to the Redemption Date (calculated assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months). If less than all of the Outstanding Securities of this series are to be redeemed, the principal amount to be redeemed shall be prorated as provided in the Officers' Certificate filed with the Trustee on December 20, 2006, creating such series.

"Treasury Rate" means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue,

"Comparable Treasury Issue" means the United States Treasury security selected by the Reference Treasury Dealer as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Securities of this series to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the Securities of this series.

"Comparable Treasury Price" means, with respect to any Redemption Date, (i) the yield for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date, as set forth in the H.15 Daily Update of the Federal Reserve Bank, or (ii) if such release (or any successor release) is not published or does not contain prices on such Business Day, the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations actually obtained by the Trustee for such Redemption Date.

Xxxxxx Securities Inc. or its successor shall cease to be a primary United States Treasury securities dealer in New York City (a "Primary Treasury Dealer") the Company shall substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer.

"Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations" means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the average, as determined by the Trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Trustee by the Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m. on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date.

The Company shall deliver to the Trustee before any Redemption Date for the Securities of this series its calculation of the Redemption Price applicable to such redemption. Except with respect to the obligations of the Trustee expressly set forth in the foregoing definitions of "Comparable Treasury Price" and "Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations," the Trustee shall be under no duty to inquire into, may presume the correctness of, and shall be fully protected in acting upon, the Company's calculation of any Redemption Price of the Securities of this series.

In lieu of stating the Redemption Price, notices of redemption of the Securities of this series shall state substantially the following: "The Redemption Price of the Notes to be redeemed shall equal the sum of (a) the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of such Notes, and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest (not including the portion of any scheduled payment of interest which accrued prior to the Redemption Date) on the Notes being redeemed, discounted to the Redemption Date on a

Exhibit A-11

semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate (as defined in the Notes) plus 50 basis points, plus (b) accrued interest on the principal amount hereof to the Redemption Date (calculated assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months)."

If at the time notice of redemption is given the redemption moneys are not on deposit with the Trustee or Paying Agent, as the case may be, then the redemption shall be subject to the receipt of such moneys prior to the Redemption Date, and such notice shall be of no effect unless such moneys are received.

The Company shall not be required to (a) register the transfer of or exchange Securities of this series during a period of 15 days immediately preceding the date notice is given identifying the serial numbers of the Securities of this series called for redemption or (b) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part.

In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities of this series, of like tenor, for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the surrender of this Security.
