The Company is not in violation of its articles of incorporation or bylaws or in default in the performance or observance of any obligation, agreement, covenant or condition contained in any contract, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan or credit agreement, note, lease or other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it may be bound, or to which any of the property or assets of the Company is subject (collectively, “Agreements and Instruments”) except for such defaults as have not resulted, and are not reasonably expected to result, in a Material Adverse Effect; and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the Mortgage and the Securities, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein (including the issuance and sale of the Securities and the use of the proceeds from the sale of the Securities as described in the

Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus) and compliance by the Company with its obligations hereunder, under the Mortgage and under the terms of the Securities, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and do not and will not, whether with or without the giving of notice or passage of time or both, conflict with or constitute a breach of, or default or Repayment Event (as defined below) under, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien (as defined below), other than the Lien of the Mortgage, upon any property or assets of the Company pursuant to, the Agreements and Instruments (except for such conflicts, breaches, defaults or Liens as would not result in a Material Adverse Effect), nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the Company or any applicable law, statute, rule, regulation, judgment, order, writ or decree of any government, government instrumentality or court, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its assets, properties or operations. As used herein, a “Repayment Event” means any event or condition that gives the holder of any note, debenture or other evidence of indebtedness (or any person acting on such holder’s behalf) the right to require the repurchase, redemption or repayment of all or a portion of such indebtedness by the Company.

(xviii) Title to Property and Mortgaged Property. The Company has good and marketable title to all real property owned by the Company and described in the Mortgage as subject to the lien thereof, and good title to all other property owned by the Company and so described as subject to such lien, in each case, subject only to such exceptions, defects and qualifications as do not (A) affect the value of any such properties that are material to the business of the Company in any material respect or (B) affect the use made or proposed to be made of such properties by the Company in any material respect; and the descriptions of all such property contained in the Mortgage are correct and adequate for purposes of the lien purported to be created by the Mortgage.

(xix) Lien of Mortgage. The Mortgage (excluding the Reopening Supplemental Indenture) constitutes, and at the Closing Time the Mortgage will constitute, a valid first lien upon and security interest in the interest held by the Company in its property covered by the Mortgage, subject to no mortgage, pledge, lien, security interest, charge or other encumbrance of any kind (collectively, “Liens”) prior to the lien of the Mortgage except “excepted encumbrances” (as defined in the Mortgage) and other Liens permitted by the Mortgage and to such other matters as do not materially affect the security for the Securities.

(a) Securities. On the basis of the representations and warranties herein contained and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Company agrees to sell to each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, and each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, agrees to purchase from the Company, at a purchase price of 101.482% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest from May 15, 2014 to the date of closing, the aggregate principal amount of Securities set forth in Schedule A opposite the name of such Underwriter, plus any additional principal amount of Securities which such Underwriter may become obligated to purchase pursuant to the provisions of Section 11 hereof, subject to such adjustments among the Underwriters as the Representatives in their sole discretion shall make in order to eliminate any sales or purchases of fractional Securities.

(b) Payment. Payment of the purchase price for the Securities shall be made at the offices of Xxxxxxxxx & Xxxxxxx LLP at 0000 Xxxxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, XX, Xxxxxxxxxx, X.X. 00000, or at such other place as shall be agreed upon by the Representatives and the Company, at 9:00 A.M. (Eastern time) on the fifth business day after the date hereof (unless postponed in accordance with the provisions of Section 11 hereof), or such other time not later than ten business days after such date as shall be agreed upon by the Representatives and the Company, and such payment shall be made against delivery, at such time, of one or more global Securities to a custodian for The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), to be held by DTC initially for the accounts of the several Underwriters. The time and date of such payment and delivery is herein called the “Closing Time.”

Payment shall be made to the Company by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated by the Company. It is understood that each Underwriter has authorized Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, for its account, to accept delivery of, to acknowledge receipt of, and to make payment of the purchase price for, the Securities which it has agreed to purchase. Any or all of the Underwriters may (but shall not be obligated to) make payment of the purchase price for the Securities to be purchased by any Underwriter whose funds have not been received by the Closing Time, but such payment shall not relieve such Underwriter from its obligations hereunder.

Global Securities will be made available for examination by the Representatives in Washington, D.C. not later than 4:00 P.M. (Eastern time) on the business day prior to the Closing Time.

(c) Notice of Completion. Promptly after the completion of the distribution of the Securities by the Underwriters, the Representatives shall deliver to the Company a notice in writing confirming the completion of the distribution (the “Notice of Completion”).

(d) Use of Free Writing Prospectuses. Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, represents and agrees that it has not made and, without the prior written consent of the Company and the Representatives, will not make any offer relating to the Securities that would constitute a “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405) that the Company would be required to file with the Commission under Rule 433, except the Term Sheet to be prepared and filed in accordance with Section 4(a) hereof.

SECTION 4. Covenants of the Company.

Except in the case of any such amendment or supplement to be made by the filing under the 1934 Act of a document that will be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus that would be made by the Company irrespective of the offer and sale of the Securities, the Company will not effect such amendment or supplement without the consent of the Representatives on behalf of the Underwriters, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Neither the consent of the Representatives, nor the delivery of any such amendment or supplement by any Underwriter, shall constitute a waiver of any of the conditions set forth in Section 6 hereof.

Prior to the delivery of the Notice of Completion, the Company will notify the Representatives immediately, and confirm such notice in writing, when any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement shall have been filed or shall become effective and when any supplement to the Prospectus or any amended Prospectus shall have been filed.

The Company will deliver to each of the Representatives and to counsel for the Underwriters, upon request and without charge, one conformed copy of the Registration Statement as originally filed and of each amendment thereto (including, in each case, all exhibits filed therewith or incorporated by reference). Such copies of the Registration Statement and amendments thereto so furnished to the Representatives will be identical to the copies thereof filed electronically with the Commission pursuant to XXXXX (except that the registration fee table may be deleted from the cover thereof), except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.

(g) Delivery of Prospectuses. The Company has delivered to each Underwriter, without charge, as many copies of any Preliminary Prospectus and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus as such Underwriter reasonably requested, and the Company hereby consents to the use of such copies by the Underwriters for purposes of the offer and sale of the Securities in a manner consistent with the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations. The Company will furnish to each Underwriter, without charge, during the period when the Prospectus (or, in lieu thereof, the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the 0000 Xxx) is required to be delivered under the 1933 Act, such number of copies of the Prospectus (and any supplements thereto and amendments thereof) as such Underwriter may reasonably request. Such copies of the Prospectus (and supplements thereto and amendments thereof) so furnished to the Underwriters will be identical to the copies thereof filed electronically with the Commission pursuant to XXXXX (except that the registration fee table may be deleted from the cover thereof), except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.

(h) Continued Compliance with Securities Laws. (i) Until the Notice of Completion has been delivered, the Company will file all reports and other documents that it is required to file with the Commission pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act within the time periods required by the 1934 Act and the 1934 Act Regulations and will otherwise comply with the 1933 Act, the 1933 Act Regulations, the 1934 Act and the 1934 Act Regulations so as to permit the completion of the distribution of the Securities as contemplated in this Agreement and the Prospectus.

(ii) The Company will notify the Representatives promptly if, prior to the delivery of the Notice of Completion, (A) any filing is made by the Company of information relating to the offering of the Securities with any securities exchange or any other regulatory body in the United States or any other jurisdiction or (B) any material change occurs in or affecting the business, condition (financial or otherwise) or results of operations of the Company that (I) is not disclosed in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or (II) makes any statement in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus false or misleading.

(iii) Upon any notification pursuant to clause (ii)(B) above, or if prior to delivery of the Notice of Completion any event shall occur as a result of which it is necessary, in the reasonable judgment of the Company or of the Representatives, (A) to amend the Registration Statement in order that it shall not, as of the Effective Time, include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading or otherwise to comply with the requirements of the 1933 Act or the 1933 Act Regulations or (B) to amend the Prospectus in order that it shall not, as of the time it (or, in lieu thereof, the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the 0000 Xxx) is delivered to purchasers, contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances existing at such time, not misleading or otherwise to comply with the requirements of the 1933 Act or the 1933 Act Regulations, the Company will promptly prepare and file with the Commission, subject to Section 4(c) hereof, such amendment or supplement as may be necessary to correct such statement or omission or to make the Registration Statement or the Prospectus comply with such requirements, and the Company will furnish to each Underwriter such number of copies of such amendment or supplement as such Underwriter may reasonably request.

(i) Blue Sky Qualifications. The Company will use its best efforts, in cooperation with the Underwriters, to take such action, if any, as may be required to qualify the Securities for offering and sale under the applicable securities laws of such states and other jurisdictions as the Representatives may designate and to maintain such qualifications in effect as long as required for the distribution of the Securities; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to file any general consent to service of process or to qualify as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified or to subject itself to taxation in respect of doing business in any jurisdiction in which it is not otherwise so subject. The Company will notify the Representatives of the suspension of the qualification of the Securities for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or of the initiation or threatening of any proceedings for any of such purposes. The Company will make every reasonable effort to prevent any such suspension and, in the event of any such suspension, to obtain the lifting thereof as soon as possible.

(j) Rule 158. The Company will timely file such reports pursuant to the 1934 Act as are necessary in order to make generally available to its securityholders as soon as practicable an earnings statement for the purposes of, and to provide the benefits contemplated by, the last paragraph of Section 11(a) of the 1933 Act and Rule 158 thereunder.

disclose the intention to make any such offer, sale, pledge, disposition or filing, without the prior written consent of the Representatives for a period beginning at the date of this Agreement and ending at the later of the Closing Time or the date of receipt by the Company of a Notice of Completion.

SECTION 7. Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification of Underwriters. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter, within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act as follows:

(i) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, (A) arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (B) arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(ii) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any untrue statement or omission, or any alleged untrue statement or omission in either case of the nature described in clause (i) above; provided that any such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company; and

(iii) against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by the Representatives), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under (i) or (ii) above;

provided, however, that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), any Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto).

(b) Indemnification of Company, Directors and Officers. Each Underwriter severally (and not jointly) agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors and officers, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in subsection (a) of this Section, as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or any Preliminary Prospectus, Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use therein.

(c) Actions against Parties; Notification. Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as reasonably practicable to each indemnifying party of any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability hereunder to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof and in any event shall not relieve it from

any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. In the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 7(a) hereof, counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected by the Representatives, and, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 7(b) hereof, counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected by the Company. An indemnifying party may participate at its own expense in the defense of any such action; provided, however, that counsel to the indemnifying party shall not (except with the consent of the indemnified party) also be counsel to the indemnified party. In no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which indemnification could be sought under this Section 7 or contribution could be sought under Section 8 hereof (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

SECTION 8. Contribution.

If the indemnification provided for in Section 7 hereof is for any reason unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by such indemnified party, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement 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 on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth on the cover of the Prospectus bear to the aggregate initial public offering price of the Securities as set forth on such cover.

The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact

relates to information supplied by the Company or by any Underwriter and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 8. The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Section 8 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of any 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 0000 Xxx) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

For purposes of this Section 8, each person, if any, who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each director of the Company, each officer of the Company, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company. The Underwriters’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8 are several (and not joint) in proportion to the principal amount of Securities set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule A hereto.

SECTION 9. Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive.

All of the respective representations, warranties and agreements of the Company and the several Underwriters contained in this Agreement, or in certificates of officers of the Company delivered pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or controlling person of any Underwriter, or by or on behalf of the Company, or any director, officer or controlling person of the Company, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Securities.

SECTION 10. Termination of Agreement.

(a) Termination; General. The Representatives may terminate this Agreement, by notice to the Company, at any time at or prior to the Closing Time (i) if there has been (A) since the date of the latest audited balance sheet included in the Disclosure Package and except as

disclosed therein or (B) since the Applicable Time, any Material Adverse Change, or (ii) if there has occurred any material adverse change in the financial markets in the United States or in the international financial markets, any outbreak of hostilities or escalation thereof or other calamity or crisis or any change or development involving a prospective change in national or international political, financial or economic conditions, in each case the effect of which is such as to make it, in the judgment of the Representatives, impracticable or inadvisable to offer, sell or deliver the Securities or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Securities, or (iii) if trading in any securities of the Company has been suspended or materially limited by the Commission or the New York Stock Exchange, or if trading generally on the New York Stock Exchange or in the NASDAQ Global Market or the NASDAQ Global Select Market has been suspended or materially limited, or minimum or maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices have been required, by such exchanges with respect to such markets or by order of the Commission or any other governmental authority, or (iv) a material disruption has occurred in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States, or (v) if a banking moratorium has been declared by either federal or New York authorities.

(b) Liabilities. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 10, such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as provided in Section 5 hereof; and provided, further, that Sections 2, 7, 8 and 9 hereof shall survive such termination and remain in full force and effect.

SECTION 11. Default by One or More of the Underwriters.

If one or more of the Underwriters shall fail at the Closing Time to purchase the Securities which it or they are then obligated to purchase under this Agreement (the “Defaulted Securities”), the non-defaulting Underwriters shall have the right, within 24 hours thereafter, to make arrangements for one or more of the non-defaulting Underwriters, or any other underwriters approved by the Company, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Defaulted Securities in such amounts as may be agreed upon and upon the terms herein set forth. If, however, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall not have completed such arrangements within such 24-hour period, then:

(a) if the amount of Defaulted Securities does not exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities to be purchased hereunder, each of the non-defaulting Underwriters shall be obligated, severally and not jointly, to purchase the full amount thereof in the proportions that their respective underwriting obligations hereunder bear to the underwriting obligations of all non-defaulting Underwriters, or

(b) if the amount of Defaulted Securities exceeds 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities to be purchased hereunder, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company, except as provided in Section 5 hereof and except that Sections 2, 7, 8 and 9 hereof shall survive any such termination and remain in full force and effect with respect to any non-defaulting Underwriter.

No action taken pursuant to this Section 11 shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of its default.

In the event of any such default which does not result in a termination of this Agreement, either the Representatives or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Time for a period not exceeding seven days in order to effect any required changes in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements. As used in this Agreement, the term “Underwriter” includes any person substituted for a defaulting Underwriter under this Section 11.

SECTION 12. Notices.

All notices, requests and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if received by mail or transmitted by any standard form of telecommunication. Notices to the Underwriters shall be directed to the Representatives at Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co. LLC, 0000 Xxxxxxxx, 00^xx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, attention of Investment Banking Division, Fax No. (000) 000-0000; SunTrust Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Inc., 0000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx, 00^xx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000, attention of Investment Grade Debt Capital Markets; and notices to the Company shall be directed to it at 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxx, 0xx Xxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, attention of Treasurer, with a copy to c/o Pepco Holdings, Inc., 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, X.X., Xxxxxxxxxx, X.X. 00000, attention of Secretary.

SECTION 13. Parties in Interest.

This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Underwriters and the Company and their respective successors. Nothing expressed in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any person, firm or corporation, other than the Underwriters and the Company and their respective successors and the controlling persons and officers and directors referred to in Sections 7 and 8 hereof and their heirs and legal representatives, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision herein contained. This Agreement and all conditions and provisions hereof are intended to be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Underwriters and the Company and their respective successors, and said controlling persons and officers and directors and their heirs and legal representatives, and for the benefit of no other person, firm or corporation. No purchaser of Securities from the Underwriters shall be deemed to be a successor by reason merely of such purchase.

SECTION 14. No Advisory or Fiduciary Relationship.

The Company acknowledges and agrees that (a) the purchase and sale of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement, including the determination of the public offering price of the Securities and any related discounts and commissions, is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, (b) in connection with the offering contemplated hereby and the process leading to such transaction each Underwriter is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the agent or fiduciary of the Company, or its stockholders, creditors, employees or any other party, (c) no Underwriter has assumed or will assume an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company with respect to the offering contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Underwriter has advised or is currently advising the Company on other matters) and no Underwriter has any obligation to the Company with respect to the offering contemplated hereby except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement, (d) the Underwriters and

their respective affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Company and (e) no Underwriter has provided any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to the offering contemplated hereby and the Company has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate.

SECTION 15. Governing Law and Time.

This Agreement, and any claim, controversy or dispute relating to or arising under this Agreement, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. Specified times of day refer to New York City time.

SECTION 16. Counterparts.

This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same agreement.

SECTION 17. Entire Agreement.

This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) between the Company and the Underwriters with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.

SECTION 18. Effect of Headings.

The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding of our agreement, please sign and return to the Company a counterpart hereof, whereupon this instrument, along with all counterparts, will become a binding agreement between the Underwriters and the Company in accordance with its terms.

As Representatives of the Several Underwriters

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I am Executive Vice President and General Counsel of Delmarva Power & Light Company, a Delaware and Virginia corporation (the “Company”), and have acted as counsel to the Company in connection with the issuance and sale of $200,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of First Mortgage Bonds, 3.50% Series due November 15, 2023 (the “Securities”) pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, dated June 2, 2014 (the “Purchase Agreement”), among the Company and Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co. LLC and SunTrust Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Inc., individually and acting as representatives of each of the several underwriters named in Schedule A thereto (collectively, the “Underwriters”). The Securities will be issued under the Mortgage and Deed of Trust, dated as of October 1, 1943, from the Company to The Bank of New York Mellon (ultimate successor to The New York Trust Company), as trustee (the “Trustee”), as amended and supplemented by various supplemental indentures including the One Hundred and Twelfth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of November 7, 2013, establishing the terms of the Securities, and the One Hundred and Fourteenth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of June 2, 2014, relating to the issuance of the Securities (the “Reopening Supplemental Indenture”) (such Mortgage and Deed of Trust, as so amended and supplemented, the “Mortgage”). This opinion is being delivered to you in accordance with Section 6(a)(ii) of the Purchase Agreement. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein have the respective meanings provided in the Purchase Agreement.

In connection with rendering the opinions set forth herein, I, or my representatives, have reviewed:

(i) the Purchase Agreement;

(ii) the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3, Registration No. 000-000000-00, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on August 30, 2013 (the “Registration Statement”), registering, inter alia, the Securities for sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”);

(iii) the preliminary prospectus, consisting of the prospectus, dated August 30, 2013 (the “Base Prospectus”), as supplemented by a preliminary prospectus supplement, dated June 2, 2014, with respect to the offer and sale of the Securities, filed with the Commission on June 2, 2014, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the 1933 Act (as so supplemented, the “Pricing Prospectus”);

(iv) the term sheet, dated June 2, 2014, with respect to the offer and sale of the Securities, filed with the Commission on June 2, 2014, pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the 1933 Act (the “Term Sheet” and together with the Pricing Prospectus, the “Disclosure Package”);

(v) the final prospectus, consisting of the Base Prospectus, as supplemented by a final prospectus supplement, dated June 2, 2014, with respect to the offer and sale of the Securities, filed with the Commission on June 3, 2014, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the 1933 Act (as so supplemented, the “Prospectus”);

(vi) the Mortgage; and

(vii) a facsimile copy of the Securities furnished by the Trustee.

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.

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications 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 each of the State of Delaware and the Commonwealth of Virginia.

2. 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.

3. The Company has corporate power and authority to own or lease and operate its properties and to conduct its business as described in the Prospectus and to enter into and perform its obligations under the Purchase Agreement.

4. All of the shares of issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable and are owned by Conectiv, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company that is wholly owned by Pepco Holdings, Inc. None of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company was issued in violation of the statutory preemptive or other similar rights of any securityholder of the Company.

5. The Purchase Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company.

6. The Mortgage has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes a valid and binding instrument 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 mortgagees’ and other creditors’ rights and to general equity principles and except to the extent that the law of the jurisdictions in which the mortgaged property is located may limit or deny certain remedial provisions of the Mortgage.

7. The Securities are in the form contemplated by the Mortgage, have been duly authorized and executed by the Company, and when the Securities have been (i) authenticated and delivered by the Trustee under the Mortgage and (ii) issued and delivered by the Company against payment of the purchase price therefor as provided in the Purchase Agreement, the Securities will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles, and will be entitled to the benefits of the Mortgage ratably with all other securities outstanding thereunder.

8. The execution and delivery of the Reopening Supplemental Indenture, the performance of the Mortgage and the Purchase Agreement and the issuance and sale of the Securities and compliance with the terms thereof by the Company will not result in a breach or violation of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute a default or Repayment Event under, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien (other than the Lien of the Mortgage) upon any property or assets of the Company under, (i) any statute, any rule, regulation or order of any governmental agency or body or any court having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its properties that in my experience customarily applies to transactions of the type contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, the Mortgage and the Securities, (ii) any agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound or to which any of the properties of the Company is subject, or (iii) the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the Company, except, in the cases of clauses (i) and (ii) above, for any such breach, violation, default, Repayment Event or Lien that would not result in a Material Adverse Effect; and the Company has full corporate power and authority to authorize, issue and sell the Securities as contemplated by the Purchase Agreement.

9. No consent, approval, authorization or order of, or filing with, any governmental agency or body or any court is required for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement in connection with the offering, issuance, sale or delivery of the Securities by the Company, except such as have already been obtained or such as may be required under state securities laws, as to which no opinion is rendered, and the Company has complied, in all material respects, with all terms and conditions contained in all such consents, approvals, authorizations and orders as have been obtained.

10. The Company has good and marketable title to all real property owned by the Company and described in the Mortgage as subject to the lien thereof, subject only to such exceptions, defects and qualifications as do not (i) affect the value of any such properties that are material to the business of the Company in any material respect or (ii) affect the use made or proposed to be made of such properties by the Company in any material respect; and the descriptions of all such property contained in the Mortgage are adequate for purposes of the lien purported to be created by the Mortgage.

11. The Mortgage constitutes a valid first lien or charge, to the extent that it purports to be such, upon the interest held by the Company in its property covered by the Mortgage, subject only to such exceptions, defects, qualifications and other matters as may be permitted by the Mortgage and to such other matters as in my opinion do not materially affect the security for the Securities. The Mortgage (except for the Reopening Supplemental Indenture) has been duly recorded, and the Reopening Supplemental Indenture has been duly filed for recordation as a mortgage of real estate, in each county in which real property subject to the lien of the Mortgage is located, and all requisite steps have been taken to perfect the security interest of the Mortgage in personal property of the Company; and all taxes and recording and filing fees required to be paid with respect to the execution, recording or filing of the Mortgage, the filing of financing statements and similar documents and the issuance of the Securities have been paid.

12. Except as disclosed in the Prospectus, there is not pending or, to the best of my knowledge, threatened, action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation, to which the Company is a party, or to which the property of the Company is subject, before or brought by any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, which could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, or which could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the consummation of the transactions contemplated in the Purchase Agreement or the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder.

13. The Registration Statement is effective under the 1933 Act, and, to the best of my knowledge, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued under Section 8(d) of the 1933 Act and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted by the Commission or are pending or threatened by the Commission. The Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus have each been filed with the Commission in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 424(b) under the 1933 Act and the Term Sheet has been filed with the Commission in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 433(d) under the 1933 Act.

14. The documents incorporated by reference in the Prospectus (other than the financial statements, including the notes thereto, the financial schedules and the other financial data included or incorporated by reference therein and the Statements of Eligibility on Form T-1 filed as Exhibits 25.05 and 25.06 to the Registration Statement, as to which I express no opinion), when they were filed with the Commission, complied as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the 1934 Act and the 1934 Act Regulations.

I am not passing upon and do not assume responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus 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 Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, 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, I do not believe that (i) the Registration Statement, on the date of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, as provided in Rule 430B(f)(2) under the 1933 Act, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) the Disclosure Package, as of the Applicable Time (as specified in the Purchase Agreement), contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or (iii) the Prospectus, as of its date contained, or as of the date hereof contains, an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order 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 am not expressing any opinion or belief as to the financial statements, including the notes thereto, the financial schedules and the other financial and statistical information and data included or omitted from or incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus or with respect to the Statements of Eligibility on Form T-1 filed as Exhibits 25.05 and 25.06 to the Registration Statement.

My opinions in paragraphs 6 and 7 above are subject to the following limitations and qualifications:

I express no opinion as to:

(i)

waivers of defenses or other rights or benefits bestowed by operation of law;

(ii)

releases or waivers of unmatured claims or rights;

(iii)

provisions requiring amendments and waivers to be in writing;

(iv)

provisions making notices effective even if not actually received; or

(v)

provisions purporting to make a party’s determination conclusive.

I am a member of the Bar of the District of Columbia, and I express no opinion herein as to any laws other than the laws of the State of Delaware, the State of Maryland, the Commonwealth of Virginia and the federal law of the United States. With respect to the laws of the State of Delaware (except as to such matters as are governed by the Delaware General Corporation Law), the State of Maryland and the Commonwealth of Virginia (except as to such matters as are governed by the Virginia Stock Corporation Act), I have received advice, satisfactory to me, from Delaware, Maryland and Virginia counsel admitted in such jurisdictions 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 Hunton & Xxxxxxxx LLP, in connection with rendering its opinion to you on the date hereof relating to the offer and sale of the Securities, to rely on this opinion with respect to matters governed by the laws of the State of Delaware (other than the Delaware General Corporation Law) and the State of Maryland. 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.

Very truly yours,

The Securities will be issued under the Mortgage and Deed of Trust, dated as of October 1, 1943, from the Company to The Bank of New York Mellon (ultimate successor to The New York Trust Company), as trustee (the “Trustee”), as amended and supplemented by various supplemental indentures, including the One Hundred and Twelfth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of November 7, 2013, establishing the terms of the Securities, and the One Hundred and Fourteenth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of June 2, 2014, relating to the issuance of the Securities (the “Reopening Supplemental Indenture”) (such Mortgage and Deed of Trust, as so amended and supplemented, the “Mortgage”). This opinion is being delivered to you in accordance with Section 6(a)(ii) of the Purchase Agreement. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein have the respective meanings provided in the Purchase Agreement.

We have reviewed:

(i) the Purchase Agreement;

(ii) the Registration Statement on Form S-3, Registration No. 000-000000-00, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on August 30, 2013 (the “Registration Statement”), registering, inter alia, the Securities for sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”);

(iv) the term sheet, dated June 2, 2014, with respect to the offer and sale of the Securities, filed with the Commission on June 2, 2014, pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the 1933 Act (the “Term Sheet” and, together with the Pricing Prospectus, the “Disclosure Package”);

(v) the final prospectus consisting of the Base Prospectus, as supplemented by a final prospectus supplement, dated June 2, 2014, with respect to the offer and sale of the Securities, filed with the Commission on June 3, 2014, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the 1933 Act (as so supplemented, the “Prospectus”);

(vi) the Mortgage; and

(vii) a facsimile copy of the Securities furnished by the Trustee.

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 Delaware and the Commonwealth of Virginia and has all legal right, power and authority and has obtained all authorizations and approvals of governmental authorities necessary (A) to issue and sell the Securities and (B) to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Purchase Agreement, the Mortgage and the Securities, (ii) the Securities have been duly executed and delivered by the Company and constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company (except to the extent that such matters are governed by the laws of the State of New York, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) or the Virginia Stock Corporation Act (the “VSCA”)) and will constitute valid securities within the meaning of Section 8-110(a)(1) of the Delaware Uniform Commercial Code and Section 8.8A-110(a)(1) of the Virginia Uniform Commercial Code, (iii) the Mortgage has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and (iv) the Mortgage constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Company and is enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms under the laws of the State of Delaware and the Commonwealth of Virginia.

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

We have relied as to certain matters on information obtained from public officials, officers of the Company and other sources believed by us to be responsible, and on information regarding the Company contained in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus.

As used in this opinion, all references to the “Registration Statement,” the “Pricing Prospectus” and the “Prospectus” include the filed information included in any document filed by the Company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that in accordance with the terms of the Registration Statement, Pricing Prospectus or Prospectus is incorporated or is deemed incorporated by reference therein, except to the extent such information has been modified or superseded by information in the Registration Statement, Pricing Prospectus or Prospectus or by later filed material that is so incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference.

The qualification in paragraph 6 of this letter “to the best of our knowledge” means the actual knowledge, but not constructive or imputed knowledge, of the attorneys in our firm who have given substantive attention to the transaction that is the subject of this opinion, without any representation or implication that any inquiry has been made with respect to such statements (other than the review of the website list of stop orders referred to below). Our statement in paragraph 6 as to stop orders and related proceedings is based solely on a review of the list of stop orders on the Commission’s website at xxx.xxx.xxx/xxxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxxx.xxxxx at [___] a.m. (New York City time) on the date hereof.

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications set forth below, we are of the opinion that, insofar as the law of the State of New York, the VSCA, the DGCL and, to the extent expressly referred to herein, the federal securities laws of the United States are concerned:

1. The Purchase Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company.

2. The Reopening Supplemental Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company.

3. The Mortgage 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 creditors’ rights and to general equity principles and except to the extent that the law of the jurisdictions in which the mortgaged property is located may limit or deny certain remedial provisions of the Mortgage. The Mortgage has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “1939 Act”).

4. The Securities are in the form contemplated by the Mortgage and have been duly authorized and executed by the Company, and when the Securities have been (A) duly authenticated and delivered by the Trustee under the Mortgage and (B) issued and delivered by the Company against payment of the purchase price therefor as provided in the Purchase

Agreement, the Securities will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles, and will be entitled to the benefits of the Mortgage.

5. The descriptions of the Securities and the Mortgage contained in the Prospectus are accurate in all material respects.

6. The Registration Statement is effective under the 1933 Act and, to the best of our knowledge, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued under the 1933 Act and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or are pending or threatened by the Commission. The Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus each has been filed in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 424(b), and the Term Sheet has been filed in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 433(d), under the 1933 Act.

7. The Registration Statement, on the date of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement as provided in Rule 430B(f)(2) under the 1933 Act, and the Prospectus, as of the date thereof (excluding (i) the documents incorporated or deemed incorporated in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus by reference, (ii) the financial statements, including the notes thereto, the financial schedules and the other financial and statistical data included therein and (iii) the Statements of Eligibility on Form T-1 filed as Exhibits 25.05 and 25.06 to the Registration Statement, as to which we express no opinion), complied as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the 1933 Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder and with the 1939 Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

8. The Company is not, and upon the issuance and sale of the Securities as contemplated by the Prospectus and the application of the net proceeds therefrom as described in the Prospectus will not be, an “investment company” or an entity “controlled” by an “investment company,” as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

Our opinions in paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 above are subject to the following limitations and qualifications:

(a) We express no opinion as to:

(i)

waivers of defenses or other rights or benefits bestowed by operation of law;

(ii)

releases or waivers of unmatured claims or rights;

(iii)

provisions requiring amendments and waivers to be in writing;

(iv)

provisions making notices effective even if not actually received; or

(v)

provisions purporting to make a party’s determination conclusive.

(b) We express no opinion as to (i) the ownership of or title to any property, or as to the adequacy of any description of property or (ii) any security interest or lien or the perfection or priority thereof.

(c) The enforceability of rights and remedies purported to be granted to the Trustee and the holders of the Securities under the Mortgage may be limited by applicable law, but those limitations (exclusive of the matters referred to in the other qualifications set forth herein) do not make the rights and remedies afforded under the Mortgage inadequate for the practical realization of the principal benefits intended to be provided by the Mortgage.

In addition, in accordance with our understanding with the Company as to the scope of our services in connection with the offering of the Securities, as special counsel to the Company, we reviewed the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus 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 that 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 that has caused us to believe that (a) the Registration Statement, on the date of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement as provided in Rule 430B(f)(2) under the 1933 Act, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (b) the Disclosure Package, as of the Applicable Time (as specified in the Purchase Agreement), contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or (c) the Prospectus, as of its date contained, or as of the date hereof contains, an untrue statement of a material fact or as of its date omitted, or as of the date hereof 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 limitations inherent in the independent verification of factual matters and the character of determinations involved in the registration process are such, however, that we do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, except as specified in paragraph 5 above. 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 or incorporated or deemed incorporated in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus by reference or (ii) with respect to the Statements of Eligibility on Form T-1 filed as Exhibits 25.05 and 25.06 to the Registration Statement.
