PECO ENERGY COMPANY
First and Refunding Mortgage Bond,
5.90% Series Due 2034
Due May 1, 2034
(CONTINUED)
This bond is one
of a duly authorized issue of bonds of the Company, unlimited as to
amount except as provided in the Mortgage hereinafter mentioned or
in any indenture supplemental thereto, and is one of a series of
said bonds known as First and Refunding Mortgage Bonds, 5.90%
Series due 2034. This bond and all other bonds of said issue are
issued and to be issued under and pursuant to and are all secured
equally and ratably by an indenture of mortgage and deed of trust
dated May 1, 1923, duly executed and delivered by The Counties
Gas and Electric Company (to which the Company is successor) to
Fidelity Trust Company, as Trustee (to which Wachovia Bank,
National Association, a national banking association organized and
existing under the laws of the United States of America, is
successor Trustee), as amended, modified or supplemented by certain
supplemental indentures from the Company or its predecessors to
said successor Trustee or its predecessors, said mortgage, as so
amended, modified or supplemented being herein called the Mortgage.
Reference is hereby made to the Mortgage for a statement of the
property mortgaged and pledged, the nature and extent of the
security, the rights of the holders of said bonds and of the
Trustee in respect of such security, the rights, duties and
immunities of the Trustee, and the terms and conditions upon which
said bonds are and are to be secured, and the circumstances under
which additional bonds may be issued.
As
provided in the Mortgage, the bonds secured thereby may be for
various principal sums and are issuable in series, which series may
mature at different times, may bear interest at different rates,
and may otherwise vary. The bonds of this series mature on
May 1, 2034, and are issuable only in registered form without
coupons in any denomination authorized by the Company.
Any
bond or bonds of this series may be exchanged for another bond or
bonds of this series in a like aggregate principal amount in
authorized denominations, upon presentation at the office of the
Trustee in the City of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, or, at the
option of the holder, at the office or agency of the Company in the
Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, all subject to the
terms of the Mortgage but without any charge other than a sum
sufficient to reimburse the Company for any stamp tax or other
governmental charge incident to the exchange.
The
bonds of this series are redeemable at the option of the Company,
as a whole or in part, at any time upon notice sent by the Company
through the mail, postage prepaid, at least thirty (30) days
and not more than forty-five (45) days prior to the date fixed for
redemption, to the registered holder of each bond to be redeemed,
addressed to such holder at his address appearing upon the
registration books, at a redemption price equal to the greater of
(1) 100% of the principal amount of the bonds to be redeemed,
plus accrued interest to the redemption date, or (2) as
determined by the Quotation Agent, the sum of the present values of
the remaining
14
scheduled payments of principal
and interest on the bonds to be redeemed (not including any portion
of payments of interest accrued as of the redemption date)
discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming
a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted
Treasury Rate plus 20 basis points, plus accrued interest to the
redemption date. Unless the Company defaults in payment of the
redemption price, on and after the redemption date, interest will
cease to accrue on the bonds of this series or portions of the
bonds of this series called for redemption.
“Adjusted
Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date,
the rate per year equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to

principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for the
redemption date.
“Business
Day” means any day that is not a day on which banking
institutions in New York City are authorized or required by law or
regulation to close.
“Comparable
Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security

the remaining term of the bonds of this series that would be used,
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 bonds of this
series.
“Comparable
Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption
date:
|
|
•
|
|
the
average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for that
redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest of the
Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations; or
|
|
|
•
|
|
if
the Trustee obtains fewer than three Reference Treasury Dealer
Quotations, the average of all Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations
so received.
|
“Quotation
Agent” means the Reference Treasury Dealer appointed by the
Company.
“Reference
Treasury Dealer” means (1) each of BNP Paribas
Securities Corp. and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith
Incorporated and their respective successors, unless any of them
ceases to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New
York City (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), in which case
the Company shall substitute another Primary Treasury Dealer; and
(2) any other Primary Treasury Dealer selected by the
Company.
“Reference
Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each
Reference Treasury Dealer and 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 that
Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the
third business day preceding that redemption date.
The
principal of this bond may be declared or may become due on the
conditions, in the manner and with the effect provided in the
Mortgage upon the happening of an event of default as in the
Mortgage provided.
15

transferable by the registered holder hereof in person or by
attorney, duly authorized in writing, at the office of the Trustee
