Dear Xxxxxx:
I am writing to confirm our agreement regarding the disposition of the shares of Exelon Corporation (“Exelon”) common stock that you currently own, any shares of Exelon common stock that you may receive from us pursuant to any performance share or other incentive awards, and any shares of Exelon common stock that you may acquire upon the exercise of your options to purchase such shares of common stock.
Share Repurchase. We have agreed to repurchase shares (including shares deliverable upon the exercise of options) held by you as follows:
| • | 172,765 shares on November 17, 2004 and |
| • | 187,235 shares on February 9, 2005. |
We have agreed to make those repurchases at a purchase price per share (the “Purchase Price”) equal to the weighted-average of the closing prices of Exelon common stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange composite transactions tape for each of the ten trading days ending immediately before the second business day preceding the scheduled repurchase date. You will receive the Purchase Price, in the case of shares that you hold that we repurchase, and will receive the difference between the Purchase Price and the option exercise price per share, in the case of shares that you would hold if you exercised any unexercised vested options that you elect to include in such repurchase. You have agreed to notify us at least three business days in advance of a scheduled repurchase date if you wish to include in that repurchase any shares issuable upon the exercise of any unexercised vested options that you hold. The aggregate amount we remit to you in connection with any repurchase (i) will be reduced for any federal income or other taxes that we are required to withhold in connection with that repurchase and any stock option exercise fees and (ii) will be wire transferred to such bank account as you shall direct in a written notice delivered to us at least three business days in advance of the scheduled repurchase date. You will deliver to us any documentation required to effect or confirm the transfer of the repurchased shares to us, including, in the case of any unexercised stock option, any required notice of exercise.
Other Permitted Sales. You have agreed not to transfer beneficial ownership of any shares of Exelon common stock that you currently own, any shares of Exelon common stock that you may receive from us pursuant to any performance share or other incentive awards, and any shares of Exelon common stock that you may acquire upon the exercise of your options to purchase such shares (including any shares retained or liquidated to pay the exercise price or any applicable exercise fees or taxes), except as provided in the preceding paragraph and this paragraph. We have agreed that you may sell up to 360,000 shares (including any shares acquired upon the exercise of stock options and any shares retained or liquidated to pay the exercise price or any applicable exercise fees or taxes) at any time after May 1, 2005. We have also agreed that you may sell or otherwise transfer any shares that you continue to hold (including any shares acquired upon the exercise of stock options) at any time after January 1, 2006. Finally, we have agreed that you may transfer any shares and, subject to the terms of the applicable agreement and related plan, any unexercised stock options, that you currently hold to
