NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Basis of Presentation
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is a combined report of Constellation Energy Group, Inc. (Constellation Energy) and Baltimore Gas and Electric Company (BGE). References in this report to "we" and "our" are to Constellation Energy and its subsidiaries, collectively. References in this report to the "regulated business(es)" are to BGE.
Various factors can have a significant impact on our results for interim periods. This means that the results for this quarter are not necessarily indicative of future quarters or full year results given the seasonality of our business.
Our interim financial statements on the previous pages reflect all adjustments that management believes are necessary for the fair statement of the results of operations for the interim periods presented. These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
Reclassifications
We made the following reclassifications:
Pending Merger with Exelon Corporation
On April 28, 2011, Constellation Energy entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Exelon Corporation (Exelon). At closing, each issued and outstanding share of common stock of Constellation Energy will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive 0.93 shares of common stock of Exelon, and Constellation Energy will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Exelon.
The merger agreement contains certain termination rights for both Constellation Energy and Exelon. Under specified circumstances Constellation Energy may be required to pay Exelon a termination fee of $200 million and Exelon may be required to pay Constellation Energy a termination fee of $800 million.
In connection with the proposed merger, Exelon and Constellation Energy announced several commitments, each of which is contingent upon completion of the merger, that they included in their filing for approval of the merger with the Maryland Public Service Commission (Maryland PSC). The estimated value of the commitments, including a proposed rate rebate of $100 per residential BGE customer, is approximately $250 million.
The merger agreement has been approved by both companies' boards of directors, but completion of the merger is contingent upon, among other things, the approval of the transaction by stockholders of both companies and receipt of required regulatory approvals, including the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the Maryland PSC and several other state and federal regulatory bodies. The parties are working to complete the merger early in 2012.
During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011, we incurred $31. 8 million pre-tax in costs related to our pending merger with Exelon.
Variable Interest Entities
As of June 30, 2011, we consolidate four variable interest entities (VIEs) for which we are the primary beneficiary, and we have significant interests in six other VIEs for which we do not have controlling financial interests. We discuss our VIEs in more detail in Note 4 of our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Consolidated Variable Interest Entities
Our, and BGE's, consolidated VIEs consist of:
We further discuss how we determine whether we are the primary beneficiary of VIEs in more detail in Note 4 of our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
For each of our consolidated VIEs:

stabilization charges to BondCo. During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011, BGE remitted $15.9 million and $38.5 million, respectively, to BondCo. During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2010, BGE remitted $18.2 million and $42.0 million, respectively, to BondCo.
We include the consolidated VIEs in our consolidated financial statements at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 as follows:

As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we had significant interests in six VIEs for which we were not the primary beneficiary. We have not provided any material financial or other support to these entities during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011 and we do not intend to provide any additional financial or other support to these entities in the future.
The following tables present summary information about these entities:

Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per common share (EPS) is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stock by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution of common stock equivalent shares that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.
Our dilutive common stock equivalent shares consist of stock options and other stock-based compensation awards. The following table presents stock options that were not dilutive and were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS in each period, as well as the dilutive common stock equivalent shares:

Acquisitions
MXenergy Holdings Inc.
In July 2011, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of MXenergy Holdings Inc. (MXenergy), a retail energy marketer of natural gas and electric power to residential and commercial customers, for approximately $175 million, subject to certain purchase price adjustments. MXenergy serves approximately 540,000 customers in several markets across the United States and Canada. We will account for this acquisition as a business combination within our NewEnergy business segment. We will include MXenergy's results of operations in our consolidated financial statements as of the date of acquisition.
Star Electricity, Inc.
In May 2011, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of Star Electricity, Inc. (StarTex), a retail electric provider, for $163.5 million in cash, all of which was paid at closing. StarTex serves approximately 170,000 customers in the Texas residential market.

We have included StarTex's results of operations in our consolidated financial statements as part of our NewEnergy business segment since the date of acquisition.
The proforma impact of this acquisition would not have been material to our results of operations for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 and to our financial condition as of December 31, 2010.
Boston Generating
In January 2011, we acquired Boston Generating's 2,950 MW fleet of generating plants for cash of $1.1 billion. The fleet acquired includes the following four natural gas power plants and one fuel oil plant located in the Boston, Massachusetts area:

Divestitures
Constellation Energy Partners LLC
In June 2011, we agreed to sell all of our interests in Constellation Energy Partners LLC (CEP) to PostRock Energy Corporation (PostRock). Under the terms of that agreement, PostRock would receive all of our voting rights, including our right to appoint two of the five members of CEP's board of directors. In return, we would receive cash, PostRock common stock and warrants to acquire additional shares of PostRock common stock at a premium to the market price at the closing of the transaction. At the date of this filing, we are discussing with PostRock potential modifications to the transaction. We expect this transaction to close in 2011.
Quail Run Energy Center
In December 2010, we signed an agreement to sell our Quail Run Energy Center (Quail Run), a 550 MW natural gas plant in west Texas, to High Plains Diversified Energy Corporation (HPDEC). This agreement was contingent upon HPDEC obtaining financing through the sale of municipal bonds.
In June 2011, we terminated the agreement to sell Quail Run based on the buyer's inability to satisfy all of the conditions for the sale.
Gain on U.S. Department of Energy Settlement
On June 30, 2011, CENG executed a settlement agreement with the United States Department of Energy (DOE) under which Constellation Energy will receive payment of $35.5 million related to costs incurred through October 31, 2008 to store spent nuclear fuel at the Calvert Cliffs nuclear power plant. The settlement also details a framework and procedure for recovery of damages incurred or to be incurred through the end of 2013. The agreement settles a lawsuit that sought to recover damages caused by the DOE's failure to comply with legal and contractual obligations to dispose of spent nuclear fuel at the Calvert Cliffs nuclear power plant. We discuss our lawsuit involving CENG's nuclear plants in more detail in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
As part of the 2009 agreement between Constellation Energy and EDF in which Constellation Energy sold a 49.99% interest in CENG to EDF, Constellation Energy retained the right to receive payments from any settlement with the DOE that related to periods prior to the formation of the joint venture on November 6, 2009. As such, Constellation Energy recognized a pre-tax gain in the second quarter of 2011 for $35.5 million and we expect to receive the funds in the third quarter of 2011.
The lawsuits relating to the storage of spent nuclear fuel at the Ginna and Nine Mile Point nuclear power plants remain outstanding.

Investment in Constellation Energy Nuclear Group, LLC (CENG)
We own a 50.01% interest in CENG, a nuclear generation and operation business. Our total equity in earnings of our investment in CENG is as follows:

1 For the quarters ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, total equity investment earnings (losses) in CENG include $0.5 million and $0.5 million, respectively, of expense related to the portion of cost of certain share-based awards that we fund on behalf of EDF Group and affiliates (EDF). For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, total equity investment earnings (losses) in CENG include $0.9 million and $1.6 million, respectively, of expense related to the portion of cost of certain share-based awards that we fund on behalf of EDF.
The basis difference is the difference between the carrying amount of our investment in CENG and our share of the underlying equity in CENG, because the underlying assets of CENG were retained at their historical carrying value. See Note 2 to our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a more detailed discussion.

Regulatory Assets (net)
In March 2011, the Maryland PSC issued a comprehensive rate order setting forth the details of the decision contained in its abbreviated electric and gas distribution rate order issued in December 2010. As part of the March 2011 comprehensive rate order, BGE was authorized to defer $18.9 million of costs as regulatory assets. These costs will be recovered over a 5-year period beginning December 2010 and relate to the deferral of:
The regulatory assets for the storm costs and the workforce reduction costs will earn a regulated rate of return.

Constellation Energy
Constellation Energy had bank lines of credit under committed credit facilities totaling $4.2 billion at June 30, 2011 for short-term financial needs, primarily for our NewEnergy business, as follows:

At June 30, 2011, we had approximately $1.4 billion in letters of credit issued, including $0.3 billion in letters of credit issued under the commodity-linked credit facility, and no commercial paper outstanding under these facilities. The commodity-linked facility capacity increases as natural gas price levels decrease compared to a reference price that is adjusted periodically. As of June 30, 2011, this facility's capacity was $0.3 billion.
In July 2011, a subsidiary of Constellation Energy entered into a three-year senior secured credit facility that is designed to support the growth of our solar operations. The amount committed under the facility is $150 million, which may be increased up to $200 million at the subsidiary's request with additional commitments by the lenders. At closing, we borrowed $130.0 million. Borrowings incur interest at a variable rate payable quarterly and are secured by the equity interests in the subsidiary and the entities that own the solar projects as well as the assets of the subsidiary and each project entity. The obligations of our subsidiary are guaranteed by Constellation Energy and the project entities. The Constellation Energy guaranty will terminate upon the subsidiary obtaining a stand-alone investment grade credit rating or the satisfaction of a number of conditions, at which time the financing will become nonrecourse to Constellation Energy. We discuss the accounting treatment for our solar operations in more detail on page 9.
Also, in July 2011, we amended and extended our existing reserve based lending facility that supports our upstream gas operations. The borrowing base committed under the facility was increased to $150 million and can grow up to a total of $500 million if the assets support a higher borrowing base and we are able to obtain additional commitments from lenders. The facility now expires in July 2016. Borrowings under this facility are secured by the upstream gas properties, and the lenders do not have recourse against Constellation Energy in the event of a default. At closing, we borrowed $74.0 million under the facility with interest payable quarterly. The facility includes a provision that requires our entities that own the upstream gas properties subject to the agreement to maintain a current ratio of one-to-one.
In July 2011, a subsidiary of Constellation Energy entered into a $40 million nonrecourse project financing to fund construction of our 30MW solar facility in Sacramento, California. Borrowings will incur interest at a variable rate, payable quarterly, and are secured by the equity interests and assets of the subsidiary. The construction borrowings will convert into a 19-year variable rate note upon commercial operation of the facility. Construction is expected to be completed by December 2011. The subsidiary also executed interest rate swaps for a notional amount of $30 million in order to convert the variable interest payments to fixed payments on the $40 million facility amount.
In addition to this facility, this subsidiary entered into a treasury grant bridge loan for $26 million and an equity bridge loan for $28 million. Both loans will be utilized to fund construction and must be repaid shortly after commercial operations of the solar facility.
At June 30, 2011, Constellation Energy had $20.6 million of short-term notes outstanding with a weighted average effective interest rate of 6.54%.
BGE
As of June 30, 2011, BGE has a $600.0 million revolving credit facility expiring in March 2015. BGE can borrow directly from the banks, use the facility to allow commercial paper to be issued, if available, or issue letters of credit. At June 30, 2011, BGE had no commercial paper or direct borrowings outstanding. There were immaterial letters of credit outstanding at June 30, 2011. As of July 31, 2011, BGE had $30.0 million of commercial paper outstanding.
Debt
In January 2011, we redeemed $213.5 million of our 7.00% Notes, which represented the remaining outstanding 7.00% Notes due April 1, 2012, pursuant to a notice to redeem that was issued in December 2010. We redeemed these notes with part of the proceeds from the $550 million 5.15% Notes issued in December 2010, terminated certain interest rate swaps and recognized a pre-tax loss of approximately $5 million on this transaction. We discuss the termination of the interest rate swaps in our Derivative Instruments note.

Credit Facility Compliance and Covenants
The credit facilities of Constellation Energy and BGE contain a material adverse change representation but draws on the facilities are not conditioned upon Constellation Energy and BGE making this representation at the time of the draw. However, to the extent a material adverse change has occurred and prevents Constellation Energy or BGE from making other representations that are required at the time of the draw, the draw would be prohibited.
Certain credit facilities of Constellation Energy contain a provision requiring Constellation Energy to maintain a ratio of debt to capitalization equal to or less than 65%. At June 30, 2011, the debt to capitalization ratio as defined in the credit agreements was 33%.
The credit agreement of BGE contains a provision requiring BGE to maintain a ratio of debt to capitalization equal to or less than 65%. At June 30, 2011, the debt to capitalization ratio for BGE as defined in this credit agreement was 43%.
Decreases in Constellation Energy's or BGE's credit ratings would not trigger an early payment on any of our, or BGE's, credit facilities. However, the impact of a credit ratings downgrade on our financial ratios associated with our credit facility covenants would depend on our financial condition at the time of such a downgrade and on the source of funds used to satisfy the incremental collateral obligation resulting from a credit ratings downgrade. For example, if we were to use existing cash balances to fund the cash portion of any additional collateral obligations resulting from a credit ratings downgrade, we would not expect a material impact on our financial ratios. However, if we were to issue long-term debt or use our credit facilities to fund any additional collateral obligations, our financial ratios could be materially affected. Failure by Constellation Energy, or BGE, to comply with these covenants could result in the acceleration of the maturity of the borrowings outstanding and preclude us from issuing letters of credit under these facilities.
Income Taxes
We compute the income tax expense for each quarter based on the estimated annual effective tax rate for the year. The effective tax rate was 40.4% and 39.7% for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to 30.9% and 32.6% for the same periods of 2010. The higher effective tax rates for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011 are primarily due to lower deductions for qualified production activities and higher expense associated with uncertain tax positions and increased state income taxes, resulting from increased business activity in unitary states and changes in the Illinois and Michigan tax laws.
The BGE effective tax rate was 39.2% and 37.0% for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to 41.4% and 41.6% for the same periods of 2010. The lower effective tax rates for 2011 are primarily due to the partial reversal during the quarter ended March 31, 2011 of the unfavorable tax adjustment recorded in the quarter ended March 31, 2010 to reflect the impact on our regulated electric business of the healthcare reform legislation that eliminated the tax exempt status of prescription drug subsidies received under Medicare Part D. The partial reversal in 2011 resulted from the Maryland PSC's authorization for BGE to create an electric regulatory asset for this tax law change and amortize the balance over a five-year period as provided in its March 2011 comprehensive order in BGE's most recent base rate case.
Income tax expense for both Constellation Energy and BGE for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011 reflects a deferred tax benefit for the costs incurred associated with our pending merger with Exelon. The ultimate treatment of these costs for tax purposes will be determined at the time the merger is closed or terminated. We discuss our pending merger with Exelon on page 9.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits

Total unrecognized tax benefits, June 30, 20111 |
$ | 236.6 | ||
1 BGE's portion of our total unrecognized tax benefits at June 30, 2011 was $66.3 million.
If the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits of $236.6 million were ultimately realized, our income tax expense would decrease by approximately $170 million. The $170 million includes state tax refund claims of $55.9 million that have been disallowed by tax authorities and are subject to appeals.
It is reasonably possible that unrecognized tax benefits could decrease within the next year by approximately $66 million primarily as a result of an expected settlement with the IRS regarding BGE's change of accounting method for tax purposes with respect to certain transmission and distribution expenditures. This decrease is not expected to have a material impact on BGE's financial condition or results of operation.
Interest and penalties recorded in our Consolidated Statements of Income as tax expense relating to liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits were as follows:

Taxes Other Than Income Taxes
Taxes other than income taxes primarily include property and gross receipts taxes along with franchise taxes and other non-income taxes, surcharges, and fees.
BGE and our NewEnergy operations collect certain taxes from customers such as sales and gross receipts taxes, along with other taxes, surcharges, and fees that are levied by state or local governments on the sale or distribution of gas and electricity. Some of these taxes are imposed on the customer and others are imposed on BGE and our NewEnergy business. Where these taxes, such as sales taxes, are imposed on the customer, we account for these taxes on a net basis with no impact to our Consolidated Statements of Income. However, where these taxes, such as gross receipts taxes or other surcharges or fees, are imposed on BGE or our NewEnergy business, we account for these taxes on a gross basis. Accordingly, we recognize revenues for these taxes collected from customers along with an offsetting tax expense, which are both included in our and BGE's Consolidated Statements of Income. The taxes, surcharges, or fees that are included in revenues were as follows:

flexibility needed to conduct business with counterparties without having to post other forms of collateral. Our estimated net exposure for obligations under commercial transactions covered by these guarantees was approximately $1.5 billion at June 30, 2011, which represents the total amount the parent company could be required to fund based on June 30, 2011 market prices. For those guarantees related to our derivative liabilities, the fair value of the obligation is recorded in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Commitments and Contingencies
We have made substantial commitments in connection with our Generation, NewEnergy, regulated electric and gas, and other nonregulated businesses. These commitments relate to:
Our Generation and NewEnergy businesses enter into various contracts for the procurement and delivery of fuels primarily related to supplying our generating plant requirements. In most cases, our contracts contain provisions for price escalations, minimum purchase levels, and other financial commitments. These contracts expire in various years between 2011 and 2030. In addition, our Generation and NewEnergy businesses enter into contracts for the purchase of energy, capacity and transmission rights for the delivery of energy to meet our physical obligations to our customers. These contracts expire in various years between 2011 and 2023.
Our Generation and NewEnergy businesses also have committed to service agreements and other purchase commitments for our plants.
Our regulated electric business enters into various contracts for the procurement of electricity. These contracts expire between 2011 and 2013 and represent BGE's estimated requirements to serve residential and small commercial customers as follows:

The cost of power under these contracts is recoverable under the Provider of Last Resort agreement reached with the Maryland PSC.
Our regulated gas business enters into various contracts for the procurement, transportation, and storage of gas. Our regulated gas business has gas procurement contracts that expire in 2011 and transportation and storage contracts that expire between 2012 and 2027. The cost of gas under these contracts is recoverable under BGE's gas cost adjustment clause discussed in Note 1 of our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
We have also committed to service agreements and other obligations related to our information technology systems.
At June 30, 2011, the total amount of commitments was $7.0 billion. These commitments are primarily related to our Generation and NewEnergy businesses.
Long-Term Power Sales Contracts
We enter into long-term power sales contracts in connection with our load-serving activities. We also enter into long-term power sales contracts associated with certain of our power plants. Our load-serving power sales contracts extend for terms through 2031 and provide for the sale of energy to electricity distribution utilities and certain retail customers. Our power sales contracts associated with our power producing facilities, including renewable energy, extend for terms into 2033 and provide for the sale of all or a portion of the actual output of certain of our power producing facilities. Substantially all long-term contracts were executed at pricing that approximated market rates, including profit margin, at the time of execution.

Contingencies
Litigation
In the normal course of business, we are involved in various legal proceedings. We discuss the significant matters below.
Merger with Exelon
In late April and early May 2011, shortly after Constellation Energy and Exelon announced their agreement to merge the two companies, twelve shareholder class action lawsuits were filed in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City in Maryland. Each class action suit was filed on behalf of a proposed class of the shareholders of Constellation Energy against Constellation Energy, members of Constellation Energy's board of directors, and Exelon. The shareholder class actions generally allege that the individual directors breached their fiduciary duties by entering into the proposed merger because they failed to maximize the value that the shareholders would receive from the merger, and failed to disclose adequately all material information relating to the proposed merger. The class actions also allege that Constellation Energy and Exelon aided and abetted the individual directors' breaches of their fiduciary duties. The lawsuits challenge the proposed merger, seek to enjoin a shareholder vote on the proposed merger until all material information is provided relating to the proposed merger, and ask for rescission of the proposed merger and any related transactions that have been completed as of the date that the court grants any relief. The class action lawsuits also seek certification as class actions, compensatory damages, costs and disbursements related to the action, including attorneys' and experts' fees, and rescission damages. Plaintiffs in three of the twelve lawsuits subsequently filed motions to consolidate all the lawsuits. The court has granted the motion to consolidate and all actions are now proceeding as a single lawsuit. Given that these lawsuits were recently filed, that the court has not certified any class and the plaintiffs have not quantified their potential damage claims, we are unable at this time to provide an estimate of the range of possible loss relating to these proceedings or to determine the ultimate outcome of these lawsuits or their possible effect on our, or BGE's, financial results or their possible effect on the pending merger with Exelon.
Securities Class Action
Three federal securities class action lawsuits were filed in the United States District Courts for the Southern District of New York and the District of Maryland between September 2008 and November 2008. The cases were filed on behalf of a proposed class of persons who acquired publicly traded securities, including the Series A Junior Subordinated Debentures (Debentures), of Constellation Energy between January 30, 2008 and September 16, 2008, and who acquired Debentures in an offering completed in June 2008. The securities class actions generally allege that Constellation Energy, a number of its present or former officers or directors, and the underwriters violated the securities laws by issuing a false and misleading registration statement and prospectus in connection with Constellation Energy's June 27, 2008 offering of Debentures. The securities class actions also allege that Constellation Energy issued false or misleading statements or was aware of material undisclosed information which contradicted public statements including in connection with its announcements of financial results for 2007, the fourth quarter of 2007, the first quarter of 2008 and the second quarter of 2008 and the filing of its first quarter 2008 Form 10-Q. The securities class actions seek, among other things, certification of the cases as class actions, compensatory damages, reasonable costs and expenses, including counsel fees, and rescission damages.
The Southern District of New York granted the defendants' motion to transfer the two securities class actions filed in Maryland to the District of Maryland, and the actions have since been transferred for coordination with the securities class action filed there. On June 18, 2009, the court appointed a lead plaintiff, who filed a consolidated amended complaint on September 17, 2009. On November 17, 2009, the defendants moved to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint in its entirety. On August 13, 2010, the District Court of Maryland issued a ruling on the motion to dismiss, holding that the plaintiffs failed to state a claim with respect to the claims of the common shareholders under the Securities Act of 1934 and restricting the suit to those persons who purchased Debentures in the June 2008 offering. Given that the discovery phase has just begun, that the court has not certified any class and the plaintiffs have not quantified their potential damage claims relating to the June 2008 offering, we are unable at this time to provide an estimate of the range of possible loss relating to these proceedings or to determine the ultimate outcome of the securities class actions or their possible effect on our, or BGE's financial results.
Mercury
Since September 2002, BGE, Constellation Energy, and several other defendants have been involved in numerous actions filed in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland alleging mercury poisoning from several sources, including coal plants formerly owned by BGE. The plants are now owned by a subsidiary of Constellation Energy. In addition to BGE and Constellation Energy, approximately 11 other defendants, consisting of pharmaceutical
20
companies, manufacturers of vaccines, and manufacturers of Thimerosal have been sued. Approximately 70 cases, involving claims related to approximately 132 children, have been filed to date, with each claimant seeking $20 million in compensatory damages, plus punitive damages, from us.
The claims against BGE and Constellation Energy have been dismissed in all of the cases either with prejudice based on rulings by the Court or without prejudice based on voluntary dismissals by the plaintiffs' counsel. Plaintiffs may attempt to pursue appeals of the rulings in favor of BGE and Constellation Energy once the cases are finally concluded as to all defendants. We believe that we have meritorious defenses and intend to defend any appeals vigorously. We are unable to provide an estimate of the range of possible loss relating to these cases given that only limited discovery occurred in these cases prior to the dismissals being granted and, as a result, we cannot predict the outcome of these cases, or their possible effect on our, or BGE's, financial results.
Asbestos
Since 1993, BGE and certain Constellation Energy subsidiaries have been involved in several actions concerning asbestos. The actions are based upon the theory of "premises liability," alleging that BGE and Constellation Energy knew of and exposed individuals to an asbestos hazard. In addition to BGE and Constellation Energy, numerous other parties are defendants in these cases.
Approximately 477 individuals who were never employees of BGE or Constellation Energy have pending claims each seeking several million dollars in compensatory and punitive damages. Cross-claims and third party claims brought by other defendants may also be filed against BGE and Constellation Energy in these actions. To date, most asbestos claims which have been resolved have been dismissed or resolved without any payment by BGE or Constellation Energy and a small minority of these cases have been resolved for amounts that were not material to our financial results.
Discovery begins in these cases once they are placed on the trial docket. At present, only a small number of our pending cases have reached the trial docket. Given the limited discovery, BGE and Constellation Energy do not know the specific facts that we believe are necessary for us to provide an estimate of the possible loss relating to these claims. The specific facts we do not know include:
Insurance and hold harmless agreements from contractors who employed the plaintiffs may cover a portion of any awards in the actions.
Environmental Matters
Solid and Hazardous Waste
In 1999, the EPA proposed to add the 68th Street Dump in Baltimore, Maryland to the Superfund National Priorities List, which is its list of sites targeted for clean-up and enforcement, and sent a general notice letter to BGE and 19 other parties identifying them as potentially responsible parties at the site. In March 2004, we and other potentially responsible parties formed the 68th Street Coalition and entered into consent order negotiations with the EPA to investigate clean-up options for the site under the Superfund Alternative Sites Program. In May 2006, a settlement among the EPA and 19 of the potentially responsible parties, including BGE, with respect to investigation of the site became effective. The settlement requires the potentially responsible parties, over the course of several years, to identify contamination at the site and recommend clean-up options. BGE is indemnified by a wholly owned subsidiary of Constellation Energy for most of the costs related to this settlement and clean-up of the site. The potentially responsible parties submitted their investigation of the range of clean-up options in the first quarter of 2011. Although the investigation and options provided to the EPA are still subject to EPA review, we believe that the range of estimated clean-up costs to be allocated among all of the potentially responsible parties will be between approximately $50 million and $64 million depending on the clean-up option selected by the EPA. The EPA is expected to make a final selection of one of the alternatives in 2012. As the alternative to be selected by the EPA and the allocation of the clean-up costs among the potentially responsible parties is not yet known, we cannot provide an estimate of the range of our possible loss.
Air Quality
In January 2009, the EPA issued a notice of violation (NOV) to a subsidiary of Constellation Energy, as well as to the other owners and the operator of the Keystone coal-fired power plant in Shelocta, Pennsylvania. We hold a 20.99% interest in the Keystone plant. The NOV alleges that the plant performed various capital projects beginning in 1984 without complying with the new source review permitting requirements of the Clean Air Act. The EPA also contends that the alleged failure to comply with those requirements are continuing violations under the plant's air
21
permits. The EPA could seek civil penalties under the Clean Air Act for the alleged violations.
The owners and operator of the Keystone plant have investigated the allegations and had a meeting with the EPA where they provided the EPA with both legal and factual documentation to support their position that no violations have occurred. Since that time, the EPA has not requested any further meeting or otherwise acted on the allegations. We believe there are meritorious defenses to the allegations contained in the NOV. Because there are significant facts in dispute and this matter is only in the NOV stage, at this time we cannot estimate the range of possible loss or predict whether a proceeding will be commenced.
Water Quality
In October 2007, a subsidiary of Constellation Energy entered into a consent decree with the Maryland Department of the Environment relating to groundwater contamination at a third party facility that was licensed to accept fly ash, a byproduct generated by our coal-fired plants. The consent decree requires the payment of a $1.0 million penalty, remediation of groundwater contamination resulting from the ash placement operations at the site, replacement of drinking water supplies in the vicinity of the site, and monitoring of groundwater conditions. We recorded a liability in our Consolidated Balance Sheets of approximately $10.6 million, which includes the $1 million penalty and our estimate of probable costs to remediate contamination, replace drinking water supplies, monitor groundwater conditions, and otherwise comply with the consent decree. We have paid approximately $7.2 million of these costs as of June 30, 2011, resulting in a remaining liability at June 30, 2011 of $3.4 million. We estimate that it is reasonably possible that we could incur additional costs of up to approximately $10 million more than the liability that we accrued.
In April 2007, PennEnvironment and the Sierra Club brought a Clean Water Act citizen suit against the operator of the Conemaugh power plant in Pennsylvania, seeking civil penalties and injunctive relief for alleged violations of Conemaugh's water permit. Throughout the relevant time period, the operator of the Conemaugh plant has been working closely with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) to ensure that the facility operates in an environmentally sound manner, and does not cause any adverse environmental impacts. Pursuant to a consent order between PADEP and the operator, a variety of studies have been conducted and treatment facilities have been designed and have been built or are pending construction, all in order to comply with the stringent limits set out in Conemaugh's water permit. On March 21, 2011, the court entered a partial summary judgment in the plaintiffs' favor, declaring as a matter of law that discharges from the Conemaugh plant had violated the water permit. In June 2011, the parties agreed to settle the proceeding for an immaterial amount.
Insurance
We discuss our non-nuclear insurance programs in Note 12 of our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Derivative Instruments
Risks, Objectives, and Strategies
Substantially all of our risk management activities involving derivatives occur in our competitive businesses. In carrying out our competitive business activities, we purchase and sell power, fuel, and other energy-related commodities in competitive markets. These activities expose us to significant risks, including market risk from price volatility for energy commodities and the credit risks of counterparties with which we enter into contracts.
To lower our exposure to the risk of unfavorable fluctuations in commodity prices, interest rates, and foreign currency rates, we routinely enter into derivative contracts, such as fixed price forward physical purchase and sales contracts, futures, financial swaps, and option contracts traded in the over-the-counter markets or on exchanges, for hedging purposes. We also enter into derivative contracts for trading purposes.
We discuss the nature of our business and associated risks in connection with our objectives and strategies for using derivatives for both risk management and non-risk management activities in Note 13 of our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Accounting for Derivative Instruments
We recognize all qualifying derivative instruments on the balance sheet at fair value as either assets or liabilities.
Accounting Designation
We must evaluate new and existing transactions and agreements to determine whether they meet the definition of a derivative, for which there are several possible accounting treatments. The permissible accounting treatments include:
Mark-to-market is required as the default accounting treatment for all derivatives unless they qualify, and we specifically designate them, for one of the other accounting treatments. Derivatives designated for any of the elective accounting treatments must meet specific, restrictive criteria, both at the time of designation and on an ongoing basis.
We discuss our accounting policies for derivatives and hedging activities and their impacts on our financial statements in Note 1 to our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
22
In the sections below, we describe the significant activity in 2011 by accounting treatment.
NPNS
We continue to elect NPNS accounting for certain contracts that provide for the purchase or sale of a physical commodity that will be delivered in quantities expected to be used or sold over a reasonable period in the normal course of business.
Cash Flow Hedging
Commodity Cash Flow Hedges
We have designated fixed-price forward contracts as cash-flow hedges of forecasted purchases and sales of energy, fuel, and other related commodities for the years 2011 through 2017. We had net unrealized pre-tax losses on these cash-flow hedges recorded in "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" of $312.5 million at June 30, 2011 and $388.0 million at December 31, 2010.
We expect to reclassify $156.8 million of net pre-tax losses on cash-flow hedges from "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" into earnings during the next twelve months based on market prices at June 30, 2011. However, the actual amount reclassified into earnings could vary from the amounts recorded at June 30, 2011, due to future changes in market prices.
When we determine that a forecasted transaction originally designated as a hedged item has become probable of not occurring, we immediately reclassify net unrealized gains or losses associated with those hedges from "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" to earnings. We recognized in earnings the following pre-tax amounts on such contracts:

Interest Rate Swaps Designated as Cash Flow Hedges
Accumulated other comprehensive loss includes net unrealized pre-tax gains on interest rate cash-flow hedges of prior debt issuances totaling $8.8 million at June 30, 2011 and $10.1 million at December 31, 2010. We expect to reclassify $0.1 million of pre-tax net gains on these cash-flow hedges from "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" into "Interest expense" during the next twelve months. We had no hedge ineffectiveness on these swaps.
Fair Value Hedging
We elect fair value hedge accounting for a limited portion of our derivative contracts including certain interest rate swaps and certain forward contracts and swaps associated with natural gas fuel in storage. The objectives for electing fair value hedge accounting in these situations are to manage our exposure to changes in the fair value of our assets and liabilities, to optimize the mix of our fixed and floating-rate debt, and to hedge the value of our natural gas in storage.
Interest Rate Swaps Designated as Fair Value Hedges
At December 31, 2010, we had interest rate swaps qualifying as fair value hedges relating to $400 million of our fixed-rate debt maturing in 2012 and 2015. The fair value of these hedges was an unrealized gain of $35.7 million at December 31, 2010.
At June 30, 2011, we have interest rate swaps qualifying as fair value hedges relating to $550 million of our fixed-rate debt maturing in 2015, and converted this notional amount of debt to floating-rate. The fair value of these hedges was an unrealized gain of $35.3 million at June 30, 2011.
We recorded the fair value of these hedges as an increase in our "Derivative assets" and an increase in our "Long-term debt."
Hedge Ineffectiveness
For all categories of derivative instruments designated in hedging relationships, we recorded in earnings the following pre-tax gains (losses) related to hedge ineffectiveness:

We did not recognize any gain or loss related to the change in our fair value hedges excluded from hedge ineffectiveness during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2010.
23
Mark-to-Market
During February 2011, we entered into interest rate swaps through 2015 related to $150 million of our fixed rate debt maturing in 2020, and converted this notional amount of debt to floating rate over the related time frame. However, these interest rate swaps do not qualify as fair value hedges and will be marked to market through earnings.
Quantitative Information About Derivatives and Hedging Activities
Balance Sheet Tables
We present our derivative assets and liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets on a net basis, including cash collateral, whenever we have a legally enforceable master netting agreement with a counterparty to a derivative contract. We use master netting agreements whenever possible to manage and substantially reduce our potential counterparty credit risk. The net presentation in our Consolidated Balance Sheets reflects our actual credit exposure after giving effect to the beneficial effects of these agreements and cash collateral, and our credit risk is reduced further by other forms of collateral.
The following tables provide information about the risks we manage using derivatives. These tables only include derivatives and do not reflect the price risks we are hedging that arise from physical assets or nonderivative accrual contracts within our Generation and NewEnergy businesses.
We present this information by disaggregating our net derivative assets and liabilities into gross components on a contract-by-contract basis before giving effect to the risk-reducing benefits of master netting arrangements and collateral. As a result, we must present each individual contract as an "asset value" if it is in the money or a "liability value" if it is out of the money, regardless of whether the individual contracts offset market or credit risks of other contracts in full or in part. Therefore, the gross amounts in these tables do not reflect our actual economic or credit risk associated with derivatives. This gross presentation is intended only to show separately the various derivative contract types we use, such as commodities, interest rate, and foreign exchange.
24
The contracts in the tables below are segregated between derivatives designated for hedge accounting and those not designated for hedge accounting. Derivatives not designated in hedging relationships include our NewEnergy retail operations, economic hedges of accrual activities, and risk management and trading activities. We use the end of period accounting designation to determine the classification for each derivative position.

Gain and (Loss) Tables
The tables below summarize derivative gains and losses segregated into the following categories:
The tables only include this information for derivatives and do not reflect the related gains or losses that arise from generation and generation-related assets, nonderivative accrual contracts, or NPNS contracts within our Generation and NewEnergy businesses, other than fair value hedges, for which we separately show the gain or loss on the hedged asset or liability. As a result, these tables only reflect the impact of derivatives themselves and therefore do not necessarily include all of the income statement impacts of the transactions for which derivatives are used to manage risk. For a more complete discussion of how derivatives affect our financial performance, see our accounting policy for Revenues, Fuel and Purchased Energy Expenses, and Derivatives and Hedging Activities in Note 1 of our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Volume of Derivative Activity
The volume of our derivatives activity is directly related to the fundamental nature and scope of our business and the risks we manage. We own or control electric generating facilities, which exposes us to both power and fuel price risk; we serve electric and gas wholesale and retail customers within our NewEnergy business, which exposes us to electricity and natural gas price risk; and we provide risk management services and engage in trading activities, which can expose us to a variety of commodity price risks. In order to manage the risks associated with these activities, we are required to be an active participant in the energy markets, and we routinely employ derivative instruments to conduct our business.
Derivative instruments provide an efficient and effective way to conduct our business and to manage the associated risks. As such, we use derivatives in the following ways:
The following tables present information designed to provide insight into the overall volume of our derivatives usage. However, the volumes presented in these tables should only be used as an indication of the extent of our derivatives usage and the risks they are intended to manage and are subject to a number of limitations as follows:

1 Amounts in the tables are only intended to provide an indication of the level of derivatives activity and should not be interpreted as a measure of any derivative position or overall economic exposure to market risk. Quantities are expressed as "delta equivalents" on an absolute value basis by contract type by year. Additionally, quantities relate only to derivatives and do not include potentially offsetting quantities associated with physical assets and nonderivative accrual contracts.

Credit-Risk Related Contingent Features
Certain of our derivative instruments contain provisions that would require additional collateral upon a credit-related event such as an adequate assurance provision or a credit rating decrease in the senior unsecured debt of Constellation Energy. The amount of collateral we could be required to post would be determined by the fair value of contracts containing such provisions that represent a net liability, after offset for the fair value of any asset contracts with the same counterparty under master netting agreements and any other collateral already posted. This collateral amount is a component of, and is not in addition to, the total collateral we could be required to post for all contracts upon a credit rating decrease.
The following tables present information related to credit-risk related contingent features of our derivatives at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

1 Amount represents the gross fair value of out-of-the-money derivative contracts containing credit-risk-related contingent features that are not fully collateralized by posted cash collateral on an individual, contract-by-contract basis ignoring the effects of master netting agreements.
2 Amount represents the offsetting fair value of in-the-money derivative contracts under legally-enforceable master netting agreements with the same counterparty, which reduces the amount of any liability for which we potentially could be required to post collateral.
3 Amount represents the net fair value of out-of-the-money derivative contracts containing credit-risk related contingent features after considering the mitigating effects of offsetting positions under master netting arrangements and reflects the actual net liability upon which any potential contingent collateral obligations would be based.
4 Amount includes cash collateral posted of $2.5 million and letters of credit of $412.4 million at June 30, 2011 and cash collateral posted of $0.6 million and letters of credit of $656.9 million at December 31, 2010.
5 Amounts represent the additional collateral that we could be required to post with counterparties, including both cash collateral and letters of credit, in the event of a credit downgrade to below investment grade after giving consideration to offsetting derivative and non-derivative positions under master netting agreements.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
We discuss our concentrations of credit risk, including derivative-related positions, in Note 1 to our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K. As of June 30, 2011, we had a total exposure of 14% to one counterparty, a large power cooperative.

1 Represents the unrealized fair value of exchange traded derivatives, exclusive of cash margin posted.
Cash equivalents represent money market funds included in "Cash and cash equivalents" in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Equity securities primarily represent mutual fund investments included in "Other assets" in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Derivative instruments represent unrealized amounts related to all derivatives. We classify exchange-listed derivatives as part of "Accounts Receivable" in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We classify the remainder of our derivatives as "Derivative assets" or "Derivative liabilities" in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The table below sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy the gross components of the Company's assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. We disaggregate our net derivative assets and liabilities by separating each individual derivative contract that is in-the-money from each contract that is out-of-the-money regardless of master netting agreements and collateral. As a result, the gross "asset" and "liability" amounts in each of the three fair value levels far exceed our actual economic exposure to commodity price risk and credit risk. The objective of this table is to provide information about how each individual derivative contract is valued within the fair value hierarchy, regardless of whether a particular contract is eligible for netting against other contracts or whether it has been collateralized. Therefore, these gross balances are intended solely to provide information on sources of inputs to fair value and proportions of fair value involving objective versus subjective valuations and do not represent either our actual credit exposure or net economic exposure.

1 We present our derivative assets and liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets on a net basis. We net derivative assets and liabilities, including cash collateral, when a legally enforceable master netting agreement exists between us and the counterparty to a derivative contract. At December 31, 2010, we included $28.4 million of cash collateral held and $0.6 million of cash collateral posted (excluding margin posted on exchange traded derivatives) in netting amounts in the above table.
We discuss our valuation techniques and inputs used to develop those measurements in greater detail in Note 13 of our 2010 Annual Report of Form 10-K. There have not been significant changes to our valuation techniques nor to their inputs during 2011.
During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011, there were no significant transfers of derivatives between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

1 Effective January 1, 2011, we are required to present separately purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements.
2 For purposes of this reconciliation, we assumed transfers into and out of Level 3 occurred on the last day of the quarter. All transfers are predominantly the result of changes in the observability of the forward commodity price curves.
We have defined the categories of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements to include the inflow or outflow of value as follows:
During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011, we had purchases related to our acquisition of StarTex and our issuances related to premiums paid for option contracts.

Fair Value Measurements
In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued updated guidance on fair value measurements and disclosure requirements. The update aligns the accounting requirements for fair value measurements under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and international financial reporting standards. The new requirements will be effective for us as of January 1, 2012. We do not expect the adoption of this update to have a material impact on our, or BGE's financial results; however, it will result in additional disclosures.
Comprehensive Income
In June 2011, the FASB issued updated requirements on the presentation of comprehensive income which eliminate the option to present other comprehensive income in the statement of changes in equity. The new requirements will be effective for us as of January 1, 2012. We do not expect the adoption of this amendment to have an impact on our, or BGE's financial results, other than the presentation of a separate statement of comprehensive income.

CENG
We have a unit contingent power purchase agreement (PPA) with CENG under which we will purchase between 85-90% of the output of CENG's nuclear plants that is not sold to third parties under pre-existing PPAs through 2014. Beginning on January 1, 2015 and continuing to the end of the life of the respective plants, we will purchase 50.01% of the output of CENG's nuclear plants, and EDF will purchase 49.99% of that output.
In addition to the PPA, we have a power services agency agreement (PSA) and an administrative service agreement (ASA) with CENG. The PSA is a five-year agreement under which we will provide scheduling, asset management and billing services to CENG and recognize average annual revenue of approximately $16 million. The ASA expires in 2017 and under the agreement we provide certain administrative services to CENG including back office, human resources and information technology. The ASA includes both a consumption-based pricing structure as well as a fixed-price structure which are subject to change in future years based on the level of service needed. The fixed price fee for 2011 is approximately $48 million and will increase annually in line with inflation. The charges under this agreement are intended to represent the actual cost of the services provided to CENG by us.
The impact of transactions under these agreements is summarized below:

In May 2011, CENG issued an unsecured revolving promissory note to borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $62.5 million from a subsidiary of Constellation Energy. CENG also issued a promissory note to EDF on substantially identical terms, such that any request for borrowings by CENG must be submitted 50% to Constellation Energy and 50% to EDF.
Interest accrues on the amounts borrowed on a daily basis at a fixed rate per year equal to the rate at which deposits of United States dollars are offered by prime banks in the London interbank market, plus 250 basis points. Amounts are due at the earlier of October 31, 2012 or the date upon which the note is accelerated in accordance with the terms of the agreement.
As of June 30, 2011, CENG has borrowed $15.0 million from Constellation Energy.
In June 2011, CENG executed a settlement agreement with the DOE under which Constellation Energy will receive payment of $35.5 million related to costs incurred through October 31, 2008 to store spent nuclear fuel at the Calvert Cliffs nuclear power plant. As a result, we recorded $35.5 million as an amount due from CENG in "Accounts receivable" on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We discuss this settlement in more detail on page 12.
BGEIncome Statement
BGE is obligated to provide market-based standard offer service to all of its electric customers for varying periods. Bidding to supply BGE's market-based standard offer service to electric customers will occur from time to time through a competitive bidding process approved by the Maryland PSC.
Our NewEnergy business will supply a portion of BGE's market-based standard offer service obligation to electric customers through September 30, 2013.
The cost of BGE's purchased energy from nonregulated subsidiaries of Constellation Energy to meet its standard offer service obligation was as follows:

In addition, Constellation Energy charges BGE for the costs of certain corporate functions. Certain costs, both capital and expense, are directly assigned to BGE. We allocate other corporate function costs based on a total percentage of expected use by BGE. We believe this method of allocation is reasonable and approximates the cost BGE would have incurred as an unaffiliated entity.

Item 2.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Constellation Energy Group, Inc. (Constellation Energy) is an energy company that conducts its business through various subsidiaries and joint ventures organized around three business segments: a generation business (Generation), a customer supply business (NewEnergy), and Baltimore Gas and Electric Company (BGE). We describe our business segments in detail in Note 3 of our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is a combined report of Constellation Energy and BGE. References in this report to "we" and "our" are to Constellation Energy and its subsidiaries, collectively. References in this report to the "regulated business(es)" are to BGE. We discuss our business and strategy in more detail in Item 1Business section of our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K and we discuss the risks affecting our business in Item 1A. Risk Factors section beginning on page 60 and in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K includes a detailed discussion of various items impacting our business, our results of operations, and our financial condition. These include:
Critical accounting policies are the accounting policies that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and that require management's most difficult, subjective, or complex judgment. Our critical accounting policies include derivative accounting and the evaluation of assets for impairment and other than temporary decline in value.
In this discussion and analysis, we explain the general financial condition and the results of operations for Constellation Energy and BGE including:
As you read this discussion and analysis, refer to our Consolidated Statements of Income on page 1, which present the results of our operations for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. We analyze and explain the differences between periods in the specific line items of the Consolidated Statements of Income.
We have organized our discussion and analysis as follows:
Various factors affect our financial results. We discuss these various factors in the Forward Looking Statements section on page 64 and in Item 1A. Risk Factors section beginning on page 60 and in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K. We discuss our market risks in the Risk Management section beginning on page 56.
The volatility of the financial, credit and global energy markets impacts our liquidity and collateral requirements as well as our credit risk. We discuss our liquidity and collateral requirements in the Financial Condition section and our customer (counterparty) credit and other risks in more detail in the Risk Management section.
In this section, we discuss in more detail events which have impacted our business during 2011.

Base Rates
In March 2011, the Maryland PSC issued a comprehensive rate order setting forth the details of the decision contained in its abbreviated electric and gas distribution rate order issued in December 2010. We discuss certain details of the comprehensive order in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on page 13.
Potential Reliability and Quality of Service Standards
During its 2011 legislative session, the Maryland General Assembly passed legislation:
In May 2011, the Governor signed this legislation into law and the Maryland PSC has instituted a rulemaking proceeding to begin drafting the required service quality and reliability regulations. We cannot at this time predict the final outcome of this rulemaking or the studies required under the legislation or how such outcome may affect our, or BGE's, financial results.
Air Quality
Federal
In July 2011, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) adopted the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR). Initially proposed in July 2010, the rule replaces the Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) and will limit sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions in 27 states beginning January 1, 2012 through the implementation of federal and state plans. We are still evaluating the requirements of this new rule, but generally anticipate that we will not have a material change to our emissions reduction plan in Maryland as the emissions reduction requirements of Maryland's Healthy Air Act are similar in magnitude and are in effect currently. However, CSAPR is more stringent than the 2010 proposed EPA rule, with marginally tighter emission caps, which, depending on the scope of the implementation plans, could result in additional compliance costs.
Pending Merger with Exelon Corporation
On April 28, 2011, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Exelon Corporation (Exelon). At closing, each issued and outstanding share of common stock of Constellation Energy will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive 0.93 shares of common stock of Exelon, and Constellation Energy will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Exelon.
Prior to the completion of the merger, which is subject to shareholder and various regulatory approvals, Constellation Energy will continue to operate as a separate company. The discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition beginning on the next page relates solely to Constellation Energy.
We discuss this transaction and the costs incurred to date in more detail on page 9 in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
MXenergy Holdings Inc.
In July 2011, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of MXenergy Holdings Inc. (MXenergy), a retail energy marketer of natural gas and electric power to residential and commercial customers in deregulated markets in the United States and Canada for approximately $175 million, subject to certain purchase price adjustments. We discuss this transaction in more detail on page 11 in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Star Electricity, Inc.
In May 2011, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of Star Electricity, Inc. (StarTex), a retail electric provider, for $163.5 million in cash, all of which was paid at closing. We discuss this transaction in more detail on page 11 in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Boston Generating
In January 2011, we completed the acquisition of Boston Generating's 2,950 MW fleet of generating plants for approximately $1.1 billion. We discuss this transaction in more detail beginning on page 11 in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Constellation Energy Partners LLC
In June 2011, we entered into a definitive purchase and sale agreement with PostRock Energy Corporation (PostRock) for the sale of all of our interests in Constellation Energy Partners LLC (CEP) for cash, shares of PostRock common stock and warrants to buy additional shares of PostRock common stock. The transaction is subject to the approval
38
by the independent directors of CEP and the shareholders of PostRock. We expect the transaction to close in 2011. We discuss this transaction in more detail on page 12.
Quail Run Energy Center
In June 2011, we terminated the agreement to sell our Quail Run Energy Center (Quail Run), a 550 MW natural gas plant in west Texas, to High Plains Diversified Energy Corporation. We had previously entered into the agreement to sell Quail Run in December 2010. We discuss this development on page 12.
Settlement with U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)
In June 2011, we recognized a $35.5 million pre-tax gain related to an agreement with the DOE that settled a lawsuit that sought to recover damages caused by the DOE's failure to comply with legal and contractual obligations to dispose of spent nuclear fuel at the Calvert Cliffs nuclear plant. We discuss this settlement in more detail on page 12 in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Secured Solar Credit Facility
In July 2011, a subsidiary of Constellation Energy entered into a three year senior secured credit facility associated with certain solar projects that we own. The amount committed under the facility is $150 million, which may be increased up to a total amount of $200 million at the subsidiary's request with additional commitments by the lenders. Obligations under this facility are secured by the equity interests in the subsidiary and the entities that own the solar projects as well as the assets of the subsidiary of each project entity and are guaranteed by Constellation Energy and the project entities.
Amended Reserve-Based Facility for Upstream Gas Operations
In July 2011, we amended and extended our existing reserve based lending facility that supports our upstream gas operations. The borrowing base committed under the facility was increased to $150 million and can grow up to $500 million if the assets support a higher borrowing base and if we are able to obtain additional commitments from lenders. The facility expires in July 2016 and any borrowings under this facility are secured by the upstream gas properties.
Sacramento Solar Project Facility
In July 2011, a subsidiary of Constellation Energy entered into a $40 million nonrecourse project financing to fund construction of our 30MW solar facility in Sacramento, California. Borrowings will incur interest at a variable rate, payable quarterly, and are secured by the equity interests and assets of the subsidiary. The construction borrowings will convert into a 19-year variable rate note upon commercial operation of the facility.
We discuss these financings in more detail on page 16 in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Revolving Promissory Note with CENG
In May 2011, CENG issued an unsecured revolving promissory note to borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $62.5 million from a subsidiary of Constellation Energy. We discuss this related party financing on page 36 in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

This amount represents the amortization of our "Unamortized energy contract asset" less our 50.01% equity in CENG's amortization of its "Unamortized energy contract liability."
In the following sections, we discuss our net income by business segment in greater detail.
Background
We define our Generation business in Note 3 to our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
We have presented the results of this business reflecting that we have hedged 100% of generation output and fuel for generation. This is based on executing hedges at prevailing market prices with the NewEnergy business. Taking into account previously executed hedges at the end of each fiscal year, we ensure that the Generation business is fully hedged by the NewEnergy business for the next year. Therefore, all commodity price risk is managed by and presented in the results of our NewEnergy business as discussed below. Generally, changes in the results of our Generation business during the period are due to changes in the availability of the generating assets.

Merger Costs
We discuss costs related to the proposed merger with Exelon in more detail on page 9 in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Depreciation, Depletion, Accretion, and Amortization Expense
Our Generation business incurred higher depreciation, depletion, accretion, and amortization expenses of $19.3 million and $39.5 million during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same periods of 2010 primarily due to an increase of $10.3 million and $18.3 million, respectively, in depreciation on the Boston Generating facilities acquired in January 2011, $4.2 million and $8.6 million, respectively, related to the June 2010 commencement of operations of our Hillabee Energy Center, and $1.5 million and $4.5 million, respectively, related to the May 2010 acquisition of the two Texas combined cycle generation facilities.
Taxes Other Than Income Taxes
Taxes other than income taxes increased $6.3 million and $12.8 million during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2010 primarily due to an increase in property taxes related to generating facilities acquired in Texas in 2010 and Massachusetts in 2011.
Equity Investment (Losses)
Our equity investment losses decreased $7.2 million and $18.3 million during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2010 primarily due to the absence of $6.8 million and $12.9 million, respectively, of losses on our investment in UNE, which we sold in the fourth quarter of 2010. Additionally, the $3.7 million increase in equity losses related to our investment in CENG for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period of 2010 is primarily due to lower CENG operating results, partially offset by a decrease in the amortization of our basis difference in CENG. CENG's operating results reflected an increased number of outage days this quarter compared to the second quarter of 2010. We discuss our investment in CENG in more detail on page 13 in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Gain on Settlement with DOE
In June 2011, we recognized a $35.5 million pre-tax gain related to an agreement with the DOE that settled a lawsuit that sought to recover damages caused by the DOE's failure to comply with legal and contractual obligations to dispose of spent nuclear fuel at the Calvert Cliffs nuclear power plant. We discuss this settlement in more detail on page 12 in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Background
We define our NewEnergy business in Note 3 to our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Our NewEnergy business focuses on delivery of physical, customer-oriented energy products and services to energy producers and consumers, manages the risk and optimizes the value of our owned and contracted generation assets and NewEnergy activities, and uses our portfolio management and trading capabilities both to manage risk and to deploy limited risk capital. Our NewEnergy business actively transacts in energy and energy-related commodities in order to manage our portfolio of energy purchases and sales to customers through structured transactions.
We discuss our revenue recognition policies in the Critical Accounting Policies section and Note 1 of our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The decrease in wholesale power gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same periods of 2010 reflects a less favorable price environment, primarily driven by the sudden, extreme drops in temperature, coupled with high winds, experienced in the Texas region during the first quarter of 2011. This weather event caused generation to go off-line and forced generators and load serving entities, like us, to purchase replacement power at significantly increased spot prices.
Mark-to-Market
Mark-to-market results include net gains and losses from origination, risk management, certain physical energy delivery activities, and trading activities for which we use the mark-to-market method of accounting. We discuss these activities and the mark-to-market method of accounting in more detail in the Critical Accounting Policies section of our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The nature of our operations and the use of mark-to-market accounting for certain activities create fluctuations in mark-to-market earnings. We cannot predict these fluctuations, but the impact on our earnings could be material. We discuss our market risk in more detail in the Risk Management section beginning on page 56. The primary factors that cause fluctuations in our mark-to-market results are:
Risk management and tradingmark-to-market represents both realized and unrealized gains and losses from changes in the value of our portfolio, including the effects of changes in valuation adjustments. In addition to our fundamental risk management and trading activities, we also use non-trading derivative contracts subject to mark-to-market accounting to manage our exposure to changes in market prices, while in general the underlying physical transactions related to these activities are accounted for on an accrual basis.
We discuss the changes in mark-to-market results below. We show the relationship between our mark-to-market results and the change in our net mark-to-market energy asset later in this section.

Total mark-to-market results decreased $2.1 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period of 2010 due to $36.3 million of lower results in our Alberta and NEPOOL power and transmission risk management activities driven by a less favorable price environment.
These decreases were partially offset by the following:
Total mark-to-market results increased $30.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period of 2010 due to unrealized changes in fair value primarily due to a more favorable price environment as follows:
These increases were partially offset by $3.6 million of lower results on unrealized positions due to a less favorable price environment related to economic hedges of our upstream gas operation.

Net income attributable to common stock from the regulated electric business increased $14.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010, primarily due to an increase in base rate distribution revenues of $10.7 million after-tax resulting from the December 2010 Maryland PSC order discussed below.

Distribution Volumes
Distribution volumes are the amount of electricity that BGE delivers to customers in its service territory.
The percentage changes in our electric distribution volumes, by type of customer, in 2011 compared to 2010 were:

(11.1 | ) | (13.9 | ) |
During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same periods of 2010, we distributed less electricity to residential customers due to milder weather, partially offset by increased usage per customer and an increased number of customers. We distributed more electricity to commercial customers due to increased usage per customer and an increased number of customers. We distributed less electricity to industrial customers primarily due to a decreased number of customers.
46
Base Rates
On December 6, 2010, the Maryland PSC authorized BGE to increase electric distribution rates by $31.0 million for service rendered on or after December 4, 2010. This increase was based upon an 8.06% rate of return with a 9.86% return on equity and a 52% equity ratio. We discuss BGE's electric base rates in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on page 13.
Smart Energy Savers ProgramSM Surcharges
Beginning in 2009, the Maryland PSC approved customer surcharges through which BGE recovers costs associated with certain programs designed to help BGE manage peak demand and encourage customer energy conservation.
Revenues increased for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same periods in 2010, primarily due to an increase in customer surcharge rates in 2011.
Revenue Decoupling
The Maryland PSC has allowed us to record a monthly adjustment to our electric distribution revenues from residential and small commercial customers since 2008 and for the majority of our large commercial and industrial customers since February 2009 to eliminate the effect of abnormal weather and usage patterns per customer on our electric distribution volumes, thereby recovering a specified dollar amount of distribution revenues per customer, by customer class, regardless of changes in consumption levels. This means BGE recognizes revenues at Maryland PSC-approved levels per customer, regardless of what actual distribution volumes were for a billing period. Therefore, while these revenues are affected by customer growth, they will not be affected by actual weather or usage conditions. We then bill or credit impacted customers in subsequent months for the difference between approved revenue levels under revenue decoupling and actual customer billings.
Standard Offer Service
BGE provides standard offer service for customers that do not select an alternative supplier.
Standard offer service revenues decreased during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same periods of 2010 mostly due to a decrease in the standard offer service rates of $46.1 million and $97.7 million, respectively, and the impact of lower standard offer service volumes of $77.9 million and $146.5 million, respectively. The volume decrease is primarily due to an increase in customers using competitive suppliers.
Rate Stabilization Recovery
In late June 2007, BGE began recovering amounts deferred during the first rate deferral period that ended on May 31, 2007. The recovery of these amounts is occurring over a ten year period.
Rate stabilization recovery revenue decreased during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same periods of 2010 primarily due to a decrease in recovery rates charged to customers.
Senate Bill 1 Credits
As a result of Senate Bill 1, beginning January 1, 2007, we were required to provide to residential electric customers a credit equal to the amount collected from all BGE electric customers for the decommissioning of Calvert Cliffs and to suspend collection of the residential return component of the administrative charge collected through residential standard offer service rates through May 31, 2007. Under an order issued by the Maryland PSC in May 2007, as of June 1, 2007, we were required to reinstate collection of the residential return component of the administration charge in rates and to provide all residential electric customers a credit for the residential return component of the administrative charge. Under the 2008 Maryland settlement agreement, BGE was allowed to resume collection of the residential return portion of the administrative charge from June 1, 2008 through May 31, 2010 without having to rebate it to residential customers. Beginning June 1, 2010, BGE has provided all residential customers a credit for the residential return portion of the administrative charge. This credit will be given to customers through December 31, 2016.
The increase in revenues attributable to a decrease in Senate Bill 1 Credits during the quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 is primarily due to lower sales volumes, partially offset by the reinstatement of the rebate to customers for the residential return component of the administrative charge on June 1, 2010.
The decrease in revenues attributable to an increase in Senate Bill 1 Credits during the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same periods in 2010 is primarily due to the reinstatement of the rebate to customers for the residential return component of the administrative charge on June 1, 2010, partially offset by lower volumes.
Electricity Purchased for Resale Expenses
Electricity purchased for resale expenses include the cost of electricity purchased for resale to our standard offer service customers. These costs do not include the cost of electricity purchased by delivery service only customers. The following

Actual Costs
BGE's actual costs for electricity purchased for resale decreased $126.0 million and $243.6 million during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same periods of 2010, primarily due to lower contract prices to purchase electricity for our customers and lower volumes due to an increase in customers using competitive suppliers.
Recovery Under Rate Stabilization Plan
BGE deferred electricity purchased for resale expenses representing the difference between our actual costs of electricity purchased for resale and what we are allowed to bill customers under our rate stabilization plan. These deferred expenses, plus carrying charges, are included in "Regulatory Assets (net)" in our, and BGE's, Consolidated Balance Sheets.
We recovered $10.9 million and $24.3 million of this amount in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011.
Electric Operations and Maintenance Expenses
Regulated electric operations and maintenance expenses increased $9.2 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010, primarily due to higher labor and benefits costs and the impact of inflation.
Regulated electric operations and maintenance expenses increased $8.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010, primarily due to higher labor and benefits costs and the impact of inflation. This increase is offset by a first quarter $15.1 million reduction to 2011 operations and maintenance expenses due to incremental distribution service restoration expenses associated with 2010 storms and other costs that were deferred as regulatory assets in 2011 as required by the Maryland PSC in its comprehensive distribution rate order received in March 2011. This, however, was partially offset by $12.9 million in incremental distribution service restoration expenses associated with 2011 storms and $1.8 million in amortization associated with the new regulatory assets. We discuss the new regulatory assets in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on page 13.
Merger Costs
We discuss costs related to the proposed merger with Exelon in more detail on page 9 in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. However, BGE will not seek recovery of these costs in rates.
Electric Depreciation and Amortization
Regulated electric depreciation and amortization expense increased $5.8 million and $13.4 million during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same periods in 2010, primarily due to increased amortization of $4.6 million and $9.1 million, respectively, of deferred Smart Energy Savers ProgramSM costs due to an increase in program surcharges, and increased property, plant and equipment depreciation of $2.4 million and $4.2 million, respectively.

During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same periods in 2010, we distributed more gas to residential customers, mostly due to increased usage per customer and an increased number of customers, partially offset by milder weather. We distributed more gas to commercial customers compared to the same periods of 2010, mostly due to increased usage per customer and an increased number of customers. We distributed less gas to industrial customers compared to the same periods of 2010, mostly due to decreased usage per customer.
Base Rates
On December 6, 2010, the Maryland PSC authorized BGE to increase gas distribution rates by $9.8 million for service rendered on or after December 4, 2010. This increase was based upon a 7.90% rate of return with a 9.56% return on equity and a 52% equity ratio. We discuss BGE's gas base rates in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on page 13.

Gas Revenue Decoupling
The Maryland PSC allows us to record a monthly adjustment to our gas distribution revenues to eliminate the effect of abnormal weather and usage patterns per customer on our gas distribution volumes, thereby recovering a specified dollar amount of distribution revenues per customer, by customer class, regardless of changes in consumption levels. This means BGE recognizes revenues at Maryland PSC-approved levels per customer, regardless of what actual distribution volumes were for a billing period. Therefore, while these revenues are affected by customer growth, they will not be affected by actual weather or usage conditions. We then bill or credit impacted customers in subsequent months for the difference between approved revenue levels under revenue decoupling and actual customer billings.
Gas Cost Adjustments
We charge our gas customers for the natural gas they purchase from us using gas cost adjustment clauses set by the Maryland PSC as described in Note 1 of our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K. However, under the market-based rates mechanism approved by the Maryland PSC, our actual cost of gas is compared to a market index (a measure of the market price of gas in a given period). The difference between our actual cost and the market index is shared equally between shareholders and customers.
Customers who do not purchase gas from BGE are not subject to the gas cost adjustment clauses because we are not selling gas to them. However, these customers are charged base rates to recover the costs BGE incurs to deliver their gas through our distribution system, and are included in the gas distribution volume revenues.
Gas cost adjustment revenues increased $2.1 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same period of 2010, mostly because we sold more gas at higher rates.
Gas cost adjustment revenues decreased $16.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same period of 2010, because we sold less gas at lower rates.
Off-System Gas Sales
Off-system gas sales are low-margin direct sales of gas to wholesale suppliers of natural gas. Off-system gas sales, which occur after we have satisfied our customers' demand, are not subject to gas cost adjustments. The Maryland PSC approved an arrangement for part of the margin from off-system sales to benefit customers (through reduced costs) and the remainder to be retained by BGE (which benefits shareholders). Changes in off-system sales do not significantly impact earnings.
Revenues from off-system gas sales increased during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same periods of 2010, primarily due to higher volumes, partially offset by lower prices.
Gas Purchased For Resale Expenses
Gas purchased for resale expenses include the cost of gas purchased for resale to our customers and for off-system sales. These costs do not include the cost of gas purchased by delivery service only customers.
Gas costs increased $7.7 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period of 2010 because we purchased more gas at higher prices.
Gas costs decreased $15.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period of 2010 because we purchased gas at lower prices, partially offset by higher volumes of gas purchased.
Gas Operations and Maintenance Expenses
Regulated gas operation and maintenance expenses increased $2.9 million and $7.8 million in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010, primarily due to higher labor and benefits costs and the impact of inflation.
Merger Costs
We discuss costs related to the proposed merger with Exelon in more detail on page 9 in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. However, BGE will not seek recovery of these costs in rates.

Consolidated Nonoperating Income and Expenses
Other Expense
Other expense increased $6.8 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period of 2010 mostly due to a lower level of interest income as a result of a lower average cash balance outstanding.
Fixed Charges
Our fixed charges increased during the quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period of 2010 mostly due to a higher level of interest expense as a result of a higher average debt balance outstanding.
Our fixed charges decreased during the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period of 2010 mostly due to the absence in 2011 of a $50.1 million loss recognized in February 2010 on the retirement of $486.5 million of our 7.00% Notes due April 1, 2012, partially offset by a higher average debt balance outstanding.
Fixed charges at BGE decreased during the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period of 2010 primarily due to lower level of interest expense due to repayments of debt.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense increased $35.8 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period of 2010 primarily due to higher income before income taxes in 2011 and a higher effective tax rate.
Income tax expense decreased $9.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period of 2010 primarily due to lower income before income taxes in 2011, partially offset by a higher effective tax rate.
We discuss changes to our effective tax rate on page 17 in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
In the six months ended June 30, 2011, cash provided by operating activities was $1.0 billion, reflecting $0.4 billion of cash inflows from our regulated business and $0.5 billion of cash inflows from our competitive businesses.
The $1.2 billion increase in operating cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period of 2010 is primarily due to:

Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $1.7 billion, compared to $0.8 billion used in the six months ended June 30, 2010. The $0.9 billion increase from the prior year was due primarily to the acquisition of Boston Generating's 2,950 MW fleet of generating plants in January 2011 and the acquisition of StarTex in May 2011.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Cash used in financing activities was $0.4 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to cash used in financing activities of $0.8 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2010. The $0.4 billion decrease in cash used in financing activities was primarily due to lower net debt repayments in the first half of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. In 2011, we repaid $0.2 billion of 7.00% Notes due April 1, 2012. In 2010, we retired $0.5 billion of 7.00% Notes due April 1, 2012 pursuant to a cash tender offer and repurchased outstanding tax exempt notes totaling $0.1 billion.
Available Sources of Funding
In addition to cash generated from operations, we rely upon access to capital for our capital expenditure programs and for the liquidity required to operate and support our competitive businesses. Our liquidity requirements are funded by credit facilities and cash. We fund our short-term working capital needs with existing cash and with our credit facilities, many of which support direct cash borrowings and the issuance of commercial paper. We also use our credit facilities to support the issuance of letters of credit, primarily for our NewEnergy business.
The primary drivers of our use of liquidity have been our capital expenditure requirements and collateral requirements associated with hedging our generating assets and hedging our NewEnergy business in both power and gas. Significant changes in the prices of commodities, depending on hedging strategies we have employed, could require us to post additional letters of credit, and thereby reduce the overall amount available under our credit facilities or to post additional cash, thereby reducing our available cash balance. Additional regulation of the derivatives markets could also require us to post additional cash collateral. We discuss the financial reform legislation enacted in 2010 in more detail in Item 7. Management's Discussion and AnalysisFederal Regulation section of our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
We discuss our, and BGE's, credit facilities in detail beginning on page 15 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Net Available Liquidity
Constellation Energy's (excluding BGE) and BGE's net available liquidity at June 30, 2011 was $3.2 billion and $0.7 billion, respectively. We discuss net available liquidity
53
in more detail in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on page 17.
Collateral
Constellation Energy's collateral requirements generally arise from the needs of its NewEnergy business as a result of its participation in certain organized markets, such as Independent System Operators (ISOs) or financial exchanges, as well as from its margining on over-the-counter (OTC) contracts.
We discuss our uses of collateral in our businesses as well as the inherent asymmetries relating to the use of collateral that create liquidity requirements for our Generation and NewEnergy businesses in Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Customers of our NewEnergy business rely on the creditworthiness of Constellation Energy. In this regard, we have certain agreements that contain provisions that would require us to post additional collateral upon a credit rating downgrade in the senior unsecured debt of Constellation Energy. Based on contractual provisions at June 30, 2011, we estimate that if Constellation Energy's senior unsecured debt were downgraded to one level below the investment grade threshold we would have the following additional collateral obligations:

2 Includes $0.1 billion related to derivative contracts as discussed in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on page 31.
Based on market conditions and contractual obligations at the time of a downgrade, we could be required to post additional collateral in an amount that could exceed the obligation amounts specified above, which could be material. We discuss our credit facilities in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements beginning on page 15.
Our estimated annual cash requirement amounts for the years 2011 and 2012 are shown in the table below.
We will continue to have cash requirements for:
Capital requirements for 2011, 2012, and 2013 include estimates of spending for existing and anticipated projects. We continuously review and modify those estimates. Actual requirements may vary from the estimates included in the table below because of a number of factors including:
Our estimates are also subject to additional factors. Please see the Forward Looking Statements section on page 64 and Risk Factors section beginning on page 60 and in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K. We discuss the potential impact of environmental legislation and regulation in more detail on page 38 and in Item 1. BusinessEnvironmental Matters section of our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Capital Requirements
Generation and NewEnergy Businesses
Our Generation and NewEnergy businesses' capital requirements consist of its continuing requirements, including expenditures for:
In addition, in 2011, we made several acquisitions totaling approximately $1.4 billion. We funded these acquisitions primarily through available cash. We discuss these acquisitions in more detail in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements beginning on page 11.
Regulated Electric and Gas
Regulated electric and gas construction expenditures primarily include new business construction needs and improvements to existing facilities, including projects to improve reliability and support demand response and conservation initiatives. Further, BGE continues to invest in transmission projects that earn a FERC authorized rate of return.
In August 2010, the Maryland PSC approved a comprehensive smart grid initiative for BGE which includes the planned installation of 2 million residential and commercial electric and gas smart meters at an expected total cost of approximately $480 million. In 2009, the United States Department of Energy (DOE) selected BGE as a recipient of $200 million in federal funding for our smart grid and other related initiatives. This grant allows BGE to be reimbursed for smart grid and other expenditures up to $200 million, substantially reducing the total cost of these initiatives.
Funding for Capital Requirements
We discuss our funding for capital requirements in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Contractual Payment Obligations and Committed Amounts
We enter into various agreements that result in contractual payment obligations in connection with our business activities. These obligations primarily relate to our financing arrangements (such as long-term debt, preference stock, and operating leases), purchases of capacity and energy to support our Generation and NewEnergy business activities, and purchases of fuel and transportation to satisfy the fuel requirements of our power generating facilities.
We detail our contractual payment obligations at June 30, 2011 in the following table:

1 Amounts in long-term debt reflect the original maturity date. Investors may require us to repay $75.0 million early through remarketing features. Interest on variable rate debt is included based on forward curve for interest rates.
2 Our operating lease commitments include future payment obligations under certain power purchase agreements as discussed further in Note 11 of our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

5 As part of reaching a comprehensive agreement with EDF in October 2010, we modified our existing power purchase agreement with CENG to be unit contingent through the end of its original term in 2014. Additionally, beginning in 2015 and continuing to the end of the life of the respective plants, we agreed to purchase 50.01% of the available output of CENG's nuclear plants at market prices. We have included in the table our commitments under this agreement for five years, the time period for which we have more reliable data. Further, we continue to own a 50.01% membership interest in CENG that we account for as an equity method investment. See Note 16 of our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K for more details on this agreement.
6 Amounts related to pension benefits reflect our current 5-year forecast for contributions for our qualified pension plans and participant payments for our nonqualified pension plans. Refer to Note 7 of our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K for more detail on our pension plans.

55
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We discuss our off-balance sheet arrangements in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
At June 30, 2011, Constellation Energy had a total face amount of $9.6 billion in guarantees outstanding, of which $8.8 billion related to our Generation and NewEnergy businesses. These amounts do not represent incremental consolidated Constellation Energy obligations; rather, they primarily represent parental guarantees of certain subsidiary obligations to third parties in order to allow our subsidiaries the flexibility needed to conduct business with counterparties without having to post other forms of collateral. Our estimated net exposure for obligations under commercial transactions covered by these guarantees was $1.5 billion at June 30, 2011, which represents the total amount the parent company could be required to fund based on June 30, 2011 market prices. For those guarantees related to our derivative liabilities, the fair value of the obligation is recorded in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We believe it is unlikely that we would be required to perform or incur any losses associated with guarantees of our subsidiaries' obligations.
We discuss our other guarantees in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements beginning on page 18.
Market Risk
Economic Value at Risk (EVaR)
EVaR measures the potential pre-tax loss in the fair value of the Generation and NewEnergy businesses due to changes in market risk factors. EVaR is a one-day value-at-risk measure calculated at a 95% confidence level assuming a standard normal distribution of prices over the most recent rolling 3-month period. EVaR includes all positions over a forward rolling 60-month time horizon that expose us to market price risk, regardless of accounting treatment and business line.
Positions included in EVaR are comprised of mark-to-market and nonderivative accrual positions that create market risk including:
We include the positions related to physical assets to provide a more complete presentation of our commodity market risk exposures. EVaR includes illiquid products and positions for which there is limited price discovery. Modeling the positions in our Generation and NewEnergy businesses involves a number of assumptions, and includes projections of generation, emission rates and costs, customer load growth, load response to weather, and customer response to competitive supply. Changes in our forecast or management estimates will affect the fair value of these positions in a manner not captured by EVaR.
EVaR reflects the risk of loss due to market prices under normal market conditions. An inherent limitation of our value-at-risk measures is the reliance on historical prices. A sudden shift in market conditions can cause the future behavior of market prices to differ materially from the past. We use stress tests and scenario analysis to better understand extreme events as a complement to EVaR. This includes exposure to unlikely but plausible events in abnormal markets, sensitivity to changes in management projections of customer demand or forecasted generation output, and price sensitivity to illiquid points and regional basis spreads.
EVaR is monitored daily and is subject to regional and overall guidelines for the NewEnergy business. We place guidelines on the risk associated with illiquid delivery locations and regional basis within our NewEnergy business. Additionally, we monitor generation plant hedge ratios relative to guidelines specified by management. Stress tests and scenario analysis are conducted regularly and the results, trends, and explanations are reviewed by senior management and risk committees.
The EVaR amounts below represent the potential pre-tax change in the fair values of our Generation and NewEnergy businesses positions over a one-day holding period.

Value at Risk (VaR)
VaR measures the potential pre-tax loss in the fair value of the mark-to-market energy contracts due to changes in market risk factors. VaR is calculated assuming a standard normal distribution of prices over the most recent rolling 3-month period. VaR includes all positions subject to mark-to-market accounting, including contracts that hedge the economics of NewEnergy nonderivative power and fuel contracts, which do not receive hedge accounting treatment, and contracts designated for trading. Thus, the positions for which we monitor VaR are included within, and are not incremental, to the positions subject to EVaR.
VaR and EVaR have similar limitations. VaR may include some products and positions for which there is
56
limited price discovery or market depth. The modeling of option positions included in VaR involves a number of assumptions and approximations. An inherent limitation of our VaR measures is the reliance on historical prices. A sudden shift in market conditions can cause the future behavior of market prices to differ materially from that of the past.
The VaR amounts below represent the potential pre-tax loss in the fair value of our Generation and NewEnergy businesses positions subject to mark-to-market accounting, including both trading and non-trading activities, over one and ten-day holding periods. We experienced higher average VaR for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, primarily as a result of executing contracts to reduce risk in our NewEnergy business that do not receive hedge accounting treatment.

Wholesale Credit Risk
We measure wholesale credit risk as the replacement cost for open energy commodity and derivative transactions (both mark-to-market and accrual) adjusted for amounts owed to or due from counterparties for settled transactions. The replacement cost of open positions represents unrealized gains, net of any unrealized losses, where we have a legally enforceable right of setoff. We monitor and manage the credit risk of our NewEnergy business through credit policies and procedures, which include an established credit approval process, daily monitoring of counterparty credit limits, the use of credit mitigation measures such as margin, collateral, or prepayment arrangements, and the use of master netting agreements.
As of June 30, 2011, our total exposure across our entire wholesale portfolio was $2.0 billion, net of collateral, and includes accrual positions and derivatives. This total exposure has declined from the $2.5 billion as of December 31, 2010, primarily driven by a change in commodity prices.
The top ten counterparties account for 50% of our total exposure with 3% of that exposure being non-investment grade. We consider a significant concentration of credit risk to be any single obligor or counterparty whose concentration exceeds 10% of total credit exposure. As of June 30, 2011, we had a total exposure of 14% to one counterparty, a large power cooperative.
As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, counterparties in our credit portfolio had the following public credit ratings:

1 Includes counterparties with an investment grade rating by at least one of the major credit rating agencies. If split rating exists, the lower rating is used.
Our exposure to "Not Rated" counterparties was $0.9 billion at June 30, 2011 compared to $1.2 billion at December 31, 2010. This decrease was mostly driven by a reduction in our credit exposure with CENG and two large power companies.
Many of our not rated counterparties (including CENG) are considered investment grade equivalent based on our internal credit ratings. We utilize internal credit ratings to evaluate the creditworthiness of our wholesale customers, including those companies that do not have public credit ratings. Based on internal credit ratings, approximately $0.8 billion or 86% of the exposure to "Not Rated" counterparties was rated investment grade equivalent at June 30, 2011 and approximately $1.1 billion or 87% was rated investment grade equivalent at December 31, 2010.
The following table provides the breakdown of the credit quality of our wholesale credit portfolio based on our internal credit ratings. This includes those counterparties which are externally rated and those in the "Not Rated" category as a percentage of the total portfolio exposure.

If a counterparty were to default on its contractual obligations and we were to liquidate transactions with that entity, our potential credit loss would include all forward and settlement exposure plus any additional costs related to termination and replacement of the positions. This would include contracts accounted for using the mark-to-market, hedge, and accrual accounting methods, the amount owed or due from settled transactions, less any collateral held from the counterparty. In addition, if a counterparty were to default under an accrual contract that is currently favorable to us, we may recognize a material adverse impact on our results in the future delivery period to the extent that we are required to replace the contract that is in default with another contract at current market prices. These potential losses would be limited to the extent that the in-the-money amount exceeded any credit mitigants such as cash, letters of credit, or parental guarantees supporting the counterparty obligation. To reduce our credit risk with counterparties, we attempt to enter into agreements that allow us to obtain collateral on a contingent basis, seek third party guarantees of the counterparty's obligation, and enter into netting agreements that allow us to offset receivables and payables with forward exposure across many transactions.
Due to volatility in the prices of energy commodities and derivatives, the market value of contractual positions with individual counterparties could exceed established credit limits or collateral provided by those counterparties. If such a counterparty were then to fail to perform its obligations under its contract (for example, fail to deliver the power we had contracted for), we could incur a loss that could have a material impact on our financial results.
We also enter into various wholesale transactions through ISOs. These ISOs are exposed to counterparty credit risks. Any losses relating to counterparty defaults impacting the ISOs are allocated to and borne by all other market participants in the ISO. These ISOs have established credit policies and practices to mitigate the exposure of counterparty credit risks. As a market participant, we continuously assess our exposure to the credit risks of each ISO.
BGE is exposed to wholesale credit risk of its suppliers for electricity and gas to serve its retail customers. BGE may receive performance assurance collateral to mitigate electricity suppliers' credit risks in certain circumstances. Performance assurance collateral is designed to protect BGE's potential exposure over the term of the supply contracts and will fluctuate to reflect changes in market prices. In addition to the collateral provisions, there are supplier "step-up" provisions, where other suppliers can step in if the early termination of a full-requirements service agreement with a supplier should occur, as well as specific mechanisms for BGE to otherwise replace defaulted supplier contracts. All costs incurred by BGE to replace the supply contract are to be recovered from the defaulting supplier or from customers through rates.
Interest Rate Risk, Retail Credit Risk, Foreign Currency Risk, Security Price Risk, Operational Risk and Collateral and Funding Liquidity Risk
We discuss our exposure to interest rate risk, retail credit risk, foreign currency risk, security price risk, operational risk, and collateral and funding liquidity risk in the Risk Management section of our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We discuss the following information related to our market risk:
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within Constellation Energy or BGE have been detected. These inherent limitations include errors by personnel in executing controls due to faulty judgment or simple mistakes, which could occur in situations such as when personnel performing controls are new to a job function or when inadequate resources are applied to a process. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons or by collusion of two or more people.
The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no absolute assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or personnel, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The principal executive officer and principal financial officer of Constellation Energy have each evaluated the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) as of the end of the fiscal quarter covered by this quarterly report (the "Evaluation Date"). Based on such evaluation, such officers have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, Constellation Energy's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that Constellation Energy files and submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported when required and is accumulated and communicated to management, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The principal executive officer and principal financial officer of BGE have each evaluated the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures as of the Evaluation Date. Based on such evaluation, such officers have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, BGE's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that BGE files and submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported when required and is accumulated and communicated to management, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the quarter ended June 30, 2011, there has been no change in either Constellation Energy's or BGE's internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, either Constellation Energy's or BGE's internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We discuss our Legal Proceedings in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements beginning on page 20.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
You should consider carefully the following risks related to our proposed merger with Exelon, along with the risks described under Item 1A. Risk Factors in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K and the other information contained in this Form 10-Q. The risks and uncertainties described below and in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only ones that may affect us. Additional risks and uncertainties also may adversely affect our business and operations including those discussed in Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis. If any of the following events occur, our business and financial results could be materially adversely affected.
Because the market price of shares of Exelon common stock will fluctuate and the exchange ratio will not be adjusted to reflect such fluctuations, the merger consideration at the date of the closing may vary significantly from the date the merger agreement was executed.
Upon completion of the merger, each outstanding share of Constellation Energy common stock will be converted into the right to receive 0.930 of a share of Exelon common stock. The number of shares of Exelon common stock to be issued pursuant to the merger agreement for each share of Constellation Energy common stock will not change to reflect changes in the market price of Exelon or Constellation Energy common stock. The market price of Exelon common stock at the time of completion of the merger may vary significantly from the market prices of Exelon common stock on the date the merger agreement was executed.
In addition, we might not complete the merger until a significant period of time has passed after the respective special shareholder meetings. Because Exelon will not adjust the exchange ratio to reflect any changes in the market value of Exelon common stock or Constellation Energy common stock, the market value of the Exelon common stock issued in connection with the merger and the Constellation Energy common stock surrendered in connection with the merger may be higher or lower than the values of those shares on earlier dates. Stock price changes may result from market reaction to the announcement of the merger and market assessment of the likelihood that the merger will be completed, changes in the business, operations or prospects of Exelon or Constellation Energy prior to or following the merger, litigation or regulatory considerations, general business, market, industry or economic conditions and other factors both within and beyond the control of Exelon and Constellation Energy. Neither we nor Exelon is permitted to terminate the merger agreement solely because of changes in the market price of either company's common stock.
The merger agreement contains provisions that limit each of Exelon's and Constellation Energy's ability to pursue alternatives to the merger, which could discourage a potential acquirer of either Constellation Energy or Exelon from making an alternative transaction proposal and, in certain circumstances, could require Exelon or Constellation Energy to pay to the other a significant termination fee.
Under the merger agreement, we and Exelon are restricted, subject to limited exceptions, from entering into alternative transactions in lieu of the merger. In general, unless and until the merger agreement is terminated, both we and Exelon are restricted from, among other things, soliciting, initiating, knowingly encouraging or facilitating a competing acquisition proposal from any person. Each of the Exelon board of directors and the Constellation Energy board of directors is limited in its ability to change its recommendation with respect to the merger-related proposals. We or Exelon may terminate the merger agreement and enter into an agreement with respect to a superior proposal only if specified conditions have been satisfied, including compliance with the non-solicitation provisions of the merger agreement. These provisions could discourage a third party that may have an interest in acquiring all or a significant part of Exelon or Constellation Energy from considering or proposing such an acquisition, even if such third party were prepared to pay consideration with a higher per share cash or market value than the consideration proposed to be received or realized in the merger, or might result in a potential competing acquirer proposing to pay a lower price than it would otherwise have proposed to pay because of the added expense of the termination fee that may become payable in certain circumstances. Under the merger agreement, in the event we or Exelon terminates the merger agreement to accept a superior proposal, or under certain other circumstances, we or Exelon, as applicable, would be required to pay a termination fee of $800 million in the case of a termination fee payable by Exelon to us and a termination fee of $200 million in the case of a termination fee payable by us to Exelon.
60
Exelon and Constellation Energy will be subject to various uncertainties and contractual restrictions while the merger is pending that may cause disruption and could adversely affect their financial results.
Uncertainty about the effect of the merger on employees, suppliers and customers may have an adverse effect on us and/or Exelon. These uncertainties may impair our and/or Exelon's ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel until the merger is completed and for a period of time thereafter, as employees and prospective employees may experience uncertainty about their future roles with the combined company, and could cause customers, suppliers and others who deal with us or Exelon to seek to change existing business relationships with us or Exelon. The pursuit of the merger and the preparation for the integration may also place a burden on management and internal resources. Any significant diversion of management attention away from ongoing business concerns and any difficulties encountered in the transition and integration process could affect our and/or Exelon's financial results.
In addition, the merger agreement restricts each of Exelon and Constellation Energy, without the other's consent, from making certain acquisitions and taking other specified actions while the merger is pending. These restrictions may prevent Exelon and/or Constellation Energy from pursuing otherwise attractive business opportunities and making other changes to their respective businesses prior to completion of the merger or termination of the merger agreement.
If completed, the merger may not achieve its anticipated results, and Exelon and Constellation Energy may be unable to integrate their operations in the manner expected.
We entered into the merger agreement with the expectation that the merger will result in various benefits, including, among other things, cost savings and operating efficiencies. Achieving the anticipated benefits of the merger is subject to a number of uncertainties, including whether the businesses of Exelon and Constellation Energy can be integrated in an efficient, effective and timely manner.
It is possible that the integration process could take longer than anticipated and could result in the loss of valuable employees, the disruption of each company's ongoing businesses, processes and systems or inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures, practices, policies and compensation arrangements, any of which could adversely affect the combined company's ability to achieve the anticipated benefits of the merger as and when expected. The combined company's results of operations could also be adversely affected by any issues attributable to either company's operations that arise or are based on events or actions that occur prior to the closing of the merger. The companies may have difficulty addressing possible differences in corporate cultures and management philosophies. Failure to achieve these anticipated benefits could result in increased costs or decreases in the amount of expected revenues and could adversely affect the combined company's future business, financial condition, operating results and prospects.
Pending litigation against Exelon and Constellation Energy could result in an injunction preventing the completion of the merger or a judgment resulting in the payment of damages in the event the merger is completed and may adversely affect the combined company's business, financial condition or results of operations and cash flows following the merger.
We are aware of 12 purported class action lawsuits that plaintiffs have filed against us, each member of our board of directors, Exelon and Bolt Acquisition Corporation, a Maryland corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Exelon, in connection with the merger. Among other things, the lawsuits seek injunctive relief that would prevent completion of the merger in accordance with the terms of the merger agreement. The outcome of any such litigation is uncertain. If a dismissal is not granted or a settlement is not reached, these lawsuits could prevent or delay completion of the merger and result in substantial costs to us and Exelon, including any costs associated with the indemnification of directors and officers. Plaintiffs may file additional lawsuits against us, Exelon, and/or the directors and officers of either company in connection with the merger. The defense or settlement of any lawsuit or claim that remains unresolved at the time the merger is completed may adversely affect the combined company's business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
The merger is subject to the receipt of consent or approval from governmental entities that could delay the completion of the merger or impose conditions that could have a material adverse effect on the combined company or that could cause abandonment of the merger.
Completion of the merger is conditioned upon the receipt of consents, orders, approvals or clearances, to the extent required, from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), the Federal Communications Commission, and the public utility commissions or similar entities in certain states in which the companies operate, including the Maryland PSC. The merger is also subject to review by the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice, under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act, and the expiration or earlier termination of the waiting period (and any extension of the waiting period) applicable to the merger is a condition to closing the merger. The special meetings of the shareholders of Exelon and Constellation Energy at which the proposals required to complete the merger will be considered are expected to take place before all of the required regulatory approvals
61
have been obtained and before all conditions to such approvals, if any, are known.
In this event, if the shareholder proposals required to complete the merger are approved, we and Exelon may subsequently agree to conditions without seeking further shareholder approval, even if such conditions could have an adverse effect on us, Exelon, or the combined company.
We cannot provide assurance that we and Exelon will obtain all required regulatory consents or approvals or that these consents or approvals will not contain terms, conditions or restrictions that would be detrimental to the combined company after the completion of the merger. The merger agreement generally permits each party to terminate the merger agreement if the final terms of any of the required regulatory consents or approvals require (1) any action that involves divesting, holding separate or otherwise transferring control over any nuclear or hydroelectric or pumped-storage generation assets of the parties or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates; or (2) any action (including any action that involves divesting, holding separate or otherwise transferring control over base-load capacity), without including those actions proposed by the parties' mutually agreed-upon analysis of mitigation to address the increased market concentration resulting from the merger and the concessions announced by the parties in the press release announcing the merger agreement, which would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on either party. Any substantial delay in obtaining satisfactory approvals, receipt of proceeds from required divestitures in an amount substantially lower than anticipated or the imposition of any terms or conditions in connection with such approvals could cause a material reduction in the expected benefits of the merger. If any such delays or conditions are serious enough, the parties may decide to abandon the merger.
If completed, the merger may adversely affect the combined company's ability to attract and retain key employees.
Current and prospective Exelon and Constellation Energy employees may experience uncertainty about their future roles at the combined company following the completion of the proposed merger. In addition, current and prospective Exelon and Constellation Energy employees may determine that they do not desire to work for the combined company for a variety of possible reasons. These factors may adversely affect the combined company's ability to attract and retain key management and other personnel.
Failure to complete the merger could negatively affect our share price and our future business and financial results.
Completion of the merger is not assured and is subject to risks, including the risks that approval of the transaction by shareholders of Exelon and Constellation Energy or by governmental agencies will not be obtained or that certain other closing conditions will not be satisfied. If the merger is not completed, our ongoing business may be adversely affected and we will be subject to several risks, including:
Exelon and Constellation Energy may incur unexpected transaction fees and merger-related costs in connection with the merger.
We and Exelon expect to incur a number of non-recurring expenses, totaling approximately $144 million, associated with completing the merger, as well as expenses related to combining the operations of the two companies. The combined company may incur additional unanticipated costs in the integration of the businesses of Exelon and Constellation Energy. Although we expect that the elimination of certain duplicative costs, as well as the realization of other efficiencies related to the integration of the two businesses, will offset the incremental transaction and merger-related costs over time, the combined company may not achieve this net benefit in the near term, or at all.
Current Constellation Energy stockholders will have a reduced ownership and voting interest after the merger.
Exelon will issue or reserve for issuance approximately 201.9 million shares of Exelon common stock to Constellation Energy stockholders in the merger (including shares of Exelon common stock issuable pursuant to Constellation Energy stock options and other equity-based awards). Based on the number of shares of common stock of Exelon and Constellation Energy outstanding on March 31, 2011, upon the completion of the merger, former Constellation Energy stockholders would own approximately 22% of the outstanding shares of Exelon common stock immediately following the consummation of the merger.
Constellation Energy stockholders currently have the right to vote for our directors and on other matters affecting us. When the merger occurs, each Constellation
62
Energy stockholder who receives shares of Exelon common stock will become a shareholder of Exelon with a percentage ownership of the combined company that will be smaller than the shareholder's percentage ownership of Constellation Energy.
As a result, former Constellation Energy stockholders will have less voting power in the combined company than they now have with respect to Constellation Energy.
Following the merger, Constellation Energy stockholders will own equity interests in a company that owns and operates a relatively higher proportion of nuclear generating facilities, which can present unique risks.
Exelon's ownership interest in and operation of a relatively higher proportion of nuclear facilities than Constellation Energy subjects Exelon to increased associated risks, including the potential harmful effects on the environment and human health resulting from the operation of nuclear facilities and the storage, handling and disposal of radioactive materials; limitations on the amounts and types of insurance commercially available to cover losses that might arise in connection with nuclear operations; uncertainties with respect to the technological and financial aspects of decommissioning nuclear plants at the end of their licensed lives; and costs associated with regulatory oversight by the NRC, including NRC imposed fines, lost revenues as a result of any NRC ordered shutdown of Exelon nuclear facilities, or increased capital costs as a result of increased NRC safety and security regulations, including any new requirements as a result of the NRC's review of the accident at the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan. As shareholders of Exelon following the merger, Constellation Energy stockholders may be adversely affected by these risks to a greater extent than they were prior to the merger.

4. Plan Administration. The Chief Executive Officer is the Plan Administrator and has sole authority (except as specified otherwise herein) to determine all questions of interpretation and application of the Plan, or of the terms and conditions pursuant to which Awards are granted, exercised or forfeited under the Plan provisions, and, in general, to make all determinations advisable for the administration of the Plan to achieve its stated purpose. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Plan Administrator may modify, amend, extend or renew outstanding Awards, or accept the surrender of outstanding Awards and substitute new Awards (provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 15H of the Plan, any modification that would materially adversely affect any outstanding Award shall not be made without the consent of the Participant, and provided, further, that no modification, amendment or substitution that results in repricing a Stock Option to a lower exercise price, other than to reflect an adjustment made pursuant to Section 15H, shall be made without prior stockholder approval).
The Plan Administrators determinations under the Plan (including without limitation, determinations of the persons to receive Awards, the form, amount and timing of such Awards, the terms and provisions of such Awards and any agreements evidencing such Awards) need not be uniform and may be made by the Administrator selectively among persons who receive, or are eligible to receive, Awards under the Plan, whether or not such persons are similarly situated.

Any shares of Stock covered by an Award (or portion of an Award) granted under the Plan that is forfeited or canceled, expires or is settled in cash, including the

Likewise, if any Option granted under the Plan is exercised by tendering shares of Stock to the Company as full or partial payment for such exercise under the Plan, only the number of shares issued net of the shares tendered shall be deemed delivered for purposes of determining the maximum number of shares available for delivery under the Plan.
The Plan Administrator may permit or require a recipient of an Award to defer all or part of such individuals receipt of the payment of cash or the delivery of Stock that would otherwise be due to such individual by virtue of the exercise of, payment of, or lapse or waiver of restrictions respecting, any Award.

of Stock at the Date of Grant of the Stock Appreciation Right, times the number of shares called for by the Stock Appreciation Right.

A change in control for purposes of this Section 13 means the occurrence of any one of the following events:
(i) individuals who, on January 24, 2003, constitute the Board (the Incumbent Directors) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board, provided that any person becoming a
director subsequent to January 24, 2003, whose election or nomination for election was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the Incumbent Directors then on the Board (either by a specific vote or by approval of the proxy statement of the Company in which such person is named as a nominee for director, without written objection to such nomination) shall be an Incumbent Director; provided, however, that no individual initially elected or nominated as a director of the Company as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to directors or as a result of any other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies by or on behalf of any person other than the Board shall be deemed to be an Incumbent Director;
(ii) any person (as such term is defined in Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act) and as used in Sections 13(d)(3) and 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) is or becomes a beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 20% or more of the combined voting power of the Companys then outstanding securities eligible to vote for the election of the Board (the Company Voting Securities); provided, however, that the event described in this paragraph (ii) shall not be deemed to be a change in control by virtue of any of the following acquisitions: (A) by the Company or any corporation with respect to which the Company owns a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock or has the power to vote or direct the voting of sufficient securities to elect a majority of the directors (a Subsidiary Company), (B) by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any Subsidiary Company, (C) by any underwriter temporarily holding securities pursuant to an offering of such securities, (D) pursuant to a Non-Qualifying Transaction (as defined in paragraph (iii)), or (E) pursuant to any acquisition by Participant or any group of persons including Participant (or any entity controlled by Participant or any group of persons including Participant);

Combination), and such voting power among the holders thereof is in substantially the same proportion as the voting power of such Company Voting Securities among the holders thereof immediately prior to the Business Combination, (B) no person (other than any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Surviving Corporation or the Parent Corporation), is or becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 20% or more of the total voting power of the outstanding voting securities eligible to elect directors of the Parent Corporation (or, if there is no Parent Corporation, the Surviving Corporation) and (C) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of the Parent Corporation (or, if there is no Parent Corporation, the Surviving Corporation) following the consummation of the Business Combination were Incumbent Directors at the time of the Boards approval of the execution of the initial agreement providing for such Business Combination (any Business Combination which satisfies all of the criteria specified in (A), (B), and (C) above shall be deemed to be a Non-Qualifying Transaction); or
(iv) the stockholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company, or the consummation of a sale of all or substantially all of the Companys assets.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a change in control of the Company shall not be deemed to occur solely because any person acquires beneficial ownership of more than 20% of the Company Voting Securities as a result of the acquisition of Company Voting Securities by the Company which reduces the number of Company Voting Securities outstanding; provided, that if after such acquisition by the Company such person becomes the beneficial owner of additional Company Voting Securities that increases the percentage of outstanding Company Voting Securities beneficially owned by such person, a change in control of the Company shall then occur.

Stock Option Awards and Stock Appreciation Rights. Any previously granted Stock Option Awards or Stock Appreciation Rights will be immediately and fully vested and will become fully exercisable.
Performance-Based Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units/Performance Units.

Equity Awards. Any previously granted Equity Award will be immediately vested.
Covered Awards. Except as may be expressly provided to the contrary in the applicable grant agreement, Covered Awards shall not vest or be subject to immediate payout as a result of the consummation of the Excluded Transactions, but will remain outstanding in accordance with their terms following the consummation of the Excluded Transactions, subject to any adjustments made by the Plan Administrator in accordance with the provisions of Section 15.
C. Timing of Accelerated Payout/Option Period/Exercise Period. The accelerated payout set forth in Section 13B will be made in cash within 30 days after the date of the change in control. When Stock is related to the Award, the amount of cash will be determined based on the Fair Market Value of Stock on the payout date.
14. Amendment of Plan.
The Plan Administrator may at any time and from time to time alter, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan in whole or in part, except no such action may be taken without the consent of the Participant to whom any Award was previously granted, which adversely affects the rights of such Participant concerning such Award, except as such termination or amendment of the Plan is required by statute, or rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

RE: Service-Based Restricted Stock Award
Dear Recipient:
Effective date, The Board of Directors Compensation Committee, (The Committee), granted you [#] service-based restricted shares of CEG Common Stock (the Award) pursuant to Section 7 of the Constellation Energy Group, Inc. 2002 Senior Management LongTerm Incentive Plan (the Plan). In addition to other provisions of the Plan (a copy of which is provided to you with this letter), your Award is subject to the following conditions:

2. The Plan requires that as a condition to receiving your Award, you waive in writing the right to make an election under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 with respect to your Award (see Section 7D of the Plan). Your execution of this letter will constitute your waiver to make such election under Section 83(b). This waiver means that you will not have the option of electing to be taxed on the restricted shares at the time of the grant. Instead, you will be taxed on the restricted shares at the time the Plan restrictions are removed (see Attachment A). This waiver allows the Company to treat dividends paid to you during the period of the Plan restrictions as compensation, thereby giving the Company a tax deduction for such amounts.
3. As provided in the Plan, until the Plan restriction period expires, you may not sell, transfer, pledge or hypothecate the Award shares. CEG will hold the shares for safekeeping until the restriction lapse, unless you let us know that you want a stock certificate for the Award. If you prefer a certificate, it will be issued in your name with a legend to the effect that you may not sell, transfer, pledge, or hypothecate the Award shares and that the shares are subject to certain conditions under the Plan.
4. If you contemplate the sale or transfer (for example to a family member) of any shares after the restriction period expires, you should contact the SEC-related persons specified below for advice on the timing of any sale or transfer and any reporting obligations you may have.
Please read the Plan carefully as it contains many other provisions relating to your Award. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call:

ATTACHMENT A
CONSTELLATION ENERGY GROUP, INC.
INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES TO PARTICIPANTS
FOR SERVICE-BASED RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS
Set forth is a brief overview of certain income tax consequences associated with your Service-Based Restricted Stock Award (the Award).
Stock
Because the Plan places certain restrictions on the Award which could lead to forfeiture of the shares prior to lifting the Plan restrictions and because you have agreed to waive the Section 83(b) election(1), the value of the restricted stock is not taxed to you when the initial grant is made. Rather, the stock is taxable to you at the time the restrictions are removed. The amount subject to income tax is the fair market value of the stock on the day that the Plan restrictions are removed. This amount is treated as compensation subject to withholding of income taxes, Medicare taxes and, if applicable, Social Security taxes. You are not taxed on the value of any stock forfeited.
For purposes of determining the gain or loss on any sale of the stock received pursuant to this Award, your basis in the stock is the amount that you included in taxable income when the Plan restrictions were removed. Your tax holding period, for purposes of determining whether a gain or loss on a sale is long-term or short-term, begins on the day after the day that the Plan restrictions were removed.
Dividends
The dividends during the restriction period will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of company common stock. These shares will be subject to the same restrictions as the originally awarded shares and will vest accordingly. For tax purposes, the dividends on the restricted stock will not be taxable as dividend income. Rather, the accumulated shares of stock will be taxable to you in the same manner as stated above.
After the Plan restrictions on the stock are removed, the dividends are treated as regular dividend income (generally not subject to tax withholding).
Tax Planning
You may wish to consult your tax advisor in the year the restrictions are lifted from the Award if you have questions regarding the impact of the Award on your tax withholding or if you have questions about the applicable capital gains holding period and rates for this Award.
(1) The Plan requires that as a condition to receiving a Restricted Stock Award, you must waive in writing the right to make an election under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 with respect to your Award (see Section 7 D of the Plan). This waiver means that you will not have the option of electing to be taxed on the restricted shares at the time of grant. Instead, you will be taxed on the restricted shares at the time the Plan restrictions are removed. This allows the Company to treat dividends paid during the period of Plan restrictions as compensation, thereby giving the Company a tax deduction for such amounts.

Effective [Date], as part of the [3 CALENDAR YEAR PERFORMANCE PERIOD] Long-Term Incentive Program, you were granted [#] performance units (the Units) under the Constellation Energy Group, Inc. 2002 Senior Management LongTerm Incentive Plan (the Plan).

[End of 3-Year Period] |
Under current tax law, you are not subject to tax on your Units until the Vesting Date.
1. Each Unit is worth $1. The final award payout on the Vesting Date will be based on Constellation Energy Groups relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR) performance over the Performance Period as set forth below. TSR is defined as the stock price change from [BEGINNING TO END OF 3 CALENDAR YEAR PERFORMANCE PERIOD] and dividends during that period that are reinvested on the ex-dividend date (date stock trades without its dividend) at the closing price on that date.
The Plan Administrator will determine the award payout soon after the conclusion of the Performance Period. The performance measures used to determine the award payout are as follows:
· Primary Measure: Constellation Energy TSR for the Performance Period is compared to the TSR performance results of large and mid-size investment grade companies within the Dow Jones Electric Utilities Index (DJEUI) on [END OF PERFORMANCE PERIOD]. In the DJEUI, companies that are rated non-investment grade by both Moodys and S&P rating agencies on [END OF PERFORMANCE PERIOD] are excluded.
· Secondary Measure: If Constellation Energys percentile rank for the Primary Measure is below the [ ] percentile, then a comparison will be made to the TSR performance results of investment grade companies in the S&P 500 Index on [END OF PERFORMANCE PERIOD].

2. The award payout amount is determined by multiplying the Payout vs. Target percentage by the number of Units (worth $1 each) that you were granted. This award payout amount may be settled, in the sole discretion of the Plan Administrator, in either restricted or unrestricted stock or stock units, or cash (or any combination thereof).
3. Under current tax law, you will be subject to tax on the Vesting Date on the award payout amount. The Company will be required to withhold applicable taxes at such time. If the award payout is settled in stock or stock units, the Company will withhold the required number of shares or units to pay these taxes.
4. As provided in the Plan, until the Vesting Date, you may not sell, transfer, or pledge the Units.

Dear Recipient:
Effective date, as part of your [PERFORMANCE YEAR] annual incentive and in recognition of your performance during [PERFORMANCE YEAR], you were granted [#] restricted Constellation Energy Group, Inc. (the Company) common stock units with sale restrictions (Deferred Shares) under the Constellation Energy Group, Inc. 2002 Senior Management Long-Term Incentive Plan (the Plan). In addition to other provisions of the Plan, your award is subject to the following conditions:
1. Each Deferred Share entitles you to receive on the Restriction Lapse Date (set forth below) one share of Constellation Energy Group common stock (Common Stock). Under current tax law, you are not subject to tax on your Deferred Shares until the Restriction Lapse Date (see paragraph 4 below).
2. During the Restriction Period (set forth below), on any date that Constellation Energy Group pays dividends with respect to the Common Stock, the Company shall credit you with a number of Deferred Shares equal to (i) the number of your Deferred Shares on the dividend record date times (ii) the dividend rate per share, divided by (iii) the per share reinvestment price. These dividend-based additional Deferred Shares shall be subject to the same rules and restrictions as Deferred Shares originally granted to you.
3. The Restriction Period for your Deferred Shares expires on the Restriction Lapse Date as shown in the table below:

Your Deferred Shares are fully and immediately vested, however, during the Restriction Period, you may not sell, transfer, or pledge the Deferred Shares. During the Restriction Period, you will have no voting rights with respect to the Deferred Shares. The Restriction Period remains in effect irrespective of your employment status.
4. Following the Restriction Lapse Date, the Company shall cause to be issued to you a certificate for shares of Common Stock equal to the number of your Deferred Shares (including dividend-based additional Deferred Shares). Under current tax law, you will be subject to tax on the Restriction Lapse Date based on an amount equal to the number of shares of Common Stock issued to you times the Fair Market Value per share (i.e., the average of the high and low price of the Common Stock on the Restriction Lapse Date). The Company will be required to withhold applicable taxes at such time, and will withhold the required number of shares to pay these taxes. The total shares you receive will be rounded to the nearest whole share. You should consult your tax advisor regarding any tax issues.

The Option may not be exercised by Participant during any blackout or prohibited trading period established by Constellation Energy or applicable to Participant, nor shall the Option be exercisable if and to the extent Constellation Energy determines that such exercise would violate applicable state or Federal securities laws or the rules and regulations of any securities exchange on which the Stock is traded.

The Option is not transferable, except for a transfer to Participants family member or to a trust established for the benefit of Participants family members which has been approved by the Plan Administrator as provided in the Plan, or in case of Participants death, by will or the laws of descent and distribution, nor shall the Option be subject to attachment, execution or other similar process. During Participants lifetime, the Option is exercisable only by Participant, any guardian or legal representative of Participant, or a family member or trustee of a trust established for the benefit of Participants family members to whom the Option has been transferred in accordance with the Plan.

3. Effective Date, Duration and Stockholder Approval.
A. Effective Date and Stockholder Approval. Subject to the approval of the Plan by a majority of the outstanding shares of Stock voted at the 2002 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Plan will be effective as of January 1, 2002. The Plan was most recently amended and restated effective as of May 27, 2011.
B. Period for Grants of Awards. Awards may be made as provided herein for a period of 10 years after January 1, 2002.
C. Termination. The Plan will continue in effect until all matters relating to the payment of outstanding Awards and administration of the Plan have been settled.
4. Plan Administration. The Committee is the Plan Administrator and has sole authority (except as specified otherwise herein) to determine all questions of interpretation and application of the Plan, or of the terms and conditions pursuant to which Awards are granted, exercised or forfeited under the Plan provisions, and, in general, to make all determinations advisable for the administration of the Plan to achieve its stated purpose. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Plan Administrator may modify, amend, extend or renew outstanding Awards, or accept the surrender of outstanding Awards and substitute new Awards (provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 15H of the Plan, any modification that would materially adversely affect any outstanding Award shall not be made without the consent of the Participant, and provided, further, that no modification, amendment or substitution that results in repricing a Stock Option to a lower exercise price, other than to reflect an adjustment made pursuant to Section 15H, shall be made without prior stockholder approval).
The Plan Administrators determinations under the Plan (including without limitation, determinations of the persons to receive Awards, the form, amount and timing of such Awards, the terms and provisions of such Awards and any agreements evidencing such Awards) need not be uniform and may be made by the Administrator selectively among persons who receive, or are eligible to receive, Awards under the Plan, whether or not such persons are similarly situated. Such determinations shall be final and not subject to further appeal.
The Committee may delegate its authority under the Plan with respect to Participants who are not directors or executive officers.
5. Eligibility. Each officer, key employee or director of the Company and its Subsidiaries may be designated by the Committee as a Participant, from time to time, with respect to one or more Awards. No officer, employee or director of the Company or its Subsidiaries shall have any right to be granted an Award under this Plan. The Plan Administrator may also grant Awards to individuals in connection with hiring (as an officer, key employee or director), retention or otherwise, prior to the date the individual first performs services for the Company or a Subsidiary; provided,
however, that such Awards shall not become vested or exercisable prior to the date the individual first commences performance of such services.
6. Grant of Awards and Limitation of Number of Shares Awarded. The Committee may, from time to time, grant Awards to one or more Eligible Persons, provided that subject to any adjustment pursuant to Section 15H, the aggregate number of shares of Stock subject to Awards that may be delivered under this Plan may not exceed eight million (8,000,000) shares. Shares delivered by the Company under the Plan may be authorized and unissued Stock, Stock held in the treasury of the Company, or Stock purchased on the open market (including private purchases) in accordance with applicable securities laws.
Any shares of Stock covered by an Award (or portion of an Award) granted under the Plan that is forfeited or canceled, expires or is settled in cash, including the settlement of tax withholding obligations using shares, shall be deemed not to have been delivered for purposes of determining the maximum number of shares available for delivery under the Plan. Likewise, if any Option granted under the Plan is exercised by tendering shares of Stock to the Company as full or partial payment for such exercise under the Plan, only the number of shares issued net of the shares tendered shall be deemed delivered for purposes of determining the maximum number of shares available for delivery under the Plan.
The maximum number of shares of Stock that may be issued in conjunction with Service-Based Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit Awards under Section 7 of the Plan, Performance-Based Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit or Performance Unit Awards under Section 9 of the Plan and Equity Awards under Section 12 of the Plan shall in the aggregate be eight hundred thousand (800,000). The maximum number of shares of Stock subject to Awards of any combination that may be granted during any calendar year under the Plan to any one person is two million (2,000,000); provided, however, that to the extent the maximum permissible award is not made in a year, such amount may be carried over to subsequent years. Such per-individual limit shall not be adjusted to effect a restoration of shares of Stock with respect to which the related Award is terminated, surrendered or canceled.
The Plan Administrator may permit or require a recipient of an Award to defer all or part of such individuals receipt of the payment of cash or the delivery of Stock that would otherwise be due to such individual by virtue of the exercise of, payment of, or lapse or waiver of restrictions respecting, any Award. If any such payment deferral is required or permitted, the Plan Administrator shall, in its sole discretion, establish rules and procedures for such payment deferrals.
7. Service-Based Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Unit Awards.
A. Grants of Service-Based Restricted Shares or Units. One or more shares of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units may be granted to any Eligible Person.

The Service-Based Restricted Stock will be issued or Restricted
Stock Unit granted in the name of the Participant and will bear a restrictive legend prohibiting sale, transfer, pledge or hypothecation of the Service-Based Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit until the expiration of the restriction period.
The Committee may also impose such other restrictions and conditions on the Service-Based Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit as it deems appropriate.

Upon issuance to the Participant of the Restricted Stock or grant of the Restricted Stock Unit and subject to the Committees discretion, the Participant will have the right to receive the cash dividends (or Dividend Equivalents as provided in Section 11) distributable with respect to such shares or units, with such dividends or Dividend Equivalents treated as compensation to the Participant. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may direct the accumulation and payment of distributable dividends to the Participant at such times, and in such form and manner, as determined by the Committee.
B. Restriction Period. At the time a Service-Based Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit Award is granted, the Committee will establish a restriction period applicable to such Award which will be not less than one year and not more than ten years.

C. Forfeiture or Payout of Award. In the event a Participant ceases employment (or ceases Board membership in the case of a director) during a restriction period, a Service-Based Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit Award is subject to forfeiture or payout (i.e., removal of restrictions) as follows: (a) Terminationthe Service-Based Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit Award is completely forfeited; or (b) Retirement, Disability or deathpayout of the Service-Based Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit Award is prorated for service during the period; provided, however, that the Committee may modify the above if it determines at its sole discretion that special circumstances warrant such modification.
Any shares of Service-Based Restricted Stock which are forfeited will be transferred to the Company.
Upon completion of the restriction period, all Award restrictions will expire and new certificates representing the Award will be issued (the payout) without the restrictive legend described in Section 7A.

C. Option Price. The Option price per share of Stock will be set by the grant, but will be not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value at the Date of Grant.
D. Form of Payment. At the time of the exercise of the Option, the Option price will be payable in cash or in other shares of Stock or in a combination of cash and other shares of Stock, in a form and manner as required by the Committee in its sole discretion. When Stock is used in full or partial payment of the Option price, it will be valued at the Fair Market Value on the applicable date.
E. Other Terms and Conditions. The Option will become exercisable in such manner and within such Option Period or Periods, not to exceed 10 years from its Date of Grant, as set forth in the Stock Option Agreement upon payment in full. Except as otherwise provided in this Plan or in the Stock Option Agreement, any Option may be exercised in whole or in part at any time.
F. Lapse of Option. An Option will lapse upon the earlier of: (i) 10 years from the Date of Grant, or (ii) at the expiration of the Option Period set by the grant. If the Participant ceases employment (or ceases Board membership in the case of a director) within the Option Period and prior to the lapse of the Option, the Option will lapse as follows: (a) Terminationany unvested Option will lapse on the effective date of the Termination and any vested Option will lapse 90 days after the effective date of the Termination; or (b) Retirement, Disability or deathany unvested Option will lapse on the effective date of the Retirement, Disability or death and any vested Option will lapse on the earlier of 60 months after the effective date of the Retirement, Disability or death or at the expiration of the Option Period set by the Grant; provided, however, that the Committee may modify the above if it determines in its sole discretion that special circumstances warrant such modification.
G. Individual Limitation. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Stock for which Incentive Stock Options (whether under this Plan or another arrangement) in any calendar year are first exercisable will not exceed $100,000 with respect to such calendar year (or such other individual limit as may be in effect under the Code on the Date of Grant) plus any unused portion of such limit as the Code may permit to be carried over.
9. Performance-Based Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units/Performance Units.
A. Provision for Awards.
(i) General. For Awards under this Section 9, the Committee will establish (a) Performance Target(s) relative to the applicable Business Criteria, (b) the applicable Performance Period and (c) the applicable number of shares of Performance-Based Restricted Stock, Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units or Performance Units that are the subject of the Award. The applicable Performance Period and Performance Target(s) shall be determined by the Committee consistent with the terms of the Plan and Section 162(m) of the Code. Notwithstanding the fact that the Performance Target(s) have been attained, the Committee may pay an Award under this Section 9 of less than the amount determined by the formula or standard established pursuant to Section 9A(ii) or may pay no Award at all.
(ii) Selection of Performance Target(s). The specific Performance Target(s) with respect to the Business Criteria must be established by the Committee in advance of the deadlines applicable under Section 162(m) of the Code and while the performance relating to the Performance Target(s) remains substantially uncertain within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code. The Performance Target(s) with respect to any Performance Period may be established on a cumulative basis or in the alternative, and may be established on a stand-alone basis with respect to the Company or on a relative basis with respect to any peer companies or index selected by the Committee. At the time the Performance Target(s) are selected, the Committee shall provide, in terms of an objective formula or standard for each Participant, the method of
computing the specific amount that will represent the maximum amount of Award payable to the Participant if the Performance Target(s) are attained. The objective formula or standard shall preclude the use of discretion to increase the amount of any Award earned pursuant to the terms of the Award.
(iii) Effect of Mid-Year Commencement of Service. If services as an executive officer or director commence after the adoption of the Plan and the Performance Target(s) are established for a Performance Period, the Committee may grant an Award that is proportionately adjusted based on the period of actual service during the Year, and the amount of any Award paid to such person shall not exceed that proportionate amount of the applicable maximum individual Award under Section 6.
(iv) Adjustments. To preserve the intended incentives and benefits of an Award based on Adjusted EPS, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Return on Assets or Adjusted Return on Equity, the Committee may determine at the time the Performance Targets are established that certain adjustments shall apply to the objective formula or standard with respect to the applicable Performance Target to take into account, in whole or in part, in any manner specified by the Committee, any one or more of the following with respect to the Performance Period: (i) the gain, loss, income or expense resulting from changes in accounting principles that become effective during the Performance Period; (ii) the gain, loss, income or expense reported publicly by the Company with respect to the Performance Period that are extraordinary or unusual in nature or infrequent in occurrence, excluding gains or losses on the early extinguishment of debt; (iii) the gains or losses resulting from, and the direct expenses incurred in connection with, the disposition of a business, in whole or in part or the sale of investments or non-core assets; (iv) gain or loss from all or certain claims and/or litigation and all or certain insurance recoveries relating to claims or litigation; (v) the impact of impairment of tangible or intangible assets; (vi) the impact of restructuring or business recharacterization activities, including but not limited to reductions in force, that are reported publicly by the Company; and (vii) the impact of investments or acquisitions made during the year or, to the extent provided by the Committee, any prior year. Each of the adjustments described in this Section 9A(iv) may relate to the Company as a whole or any part of the Companys business or operations, as determined by the Committee at the time the Performance Targets are established. The adjustments are to be determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and standards, unless another objective method of measurement is designated by the Committee. In addition to the foregoing, the Committee shall adjust any Business Criteria, Performance Targets or other features of an Award that relate to or are wholly or partially based on the number of, or the value of, any stock of the Company, to reflect any stock dividend or split, recapitalization, combination or exchange of shares or other similar changes in such stock.
(v) Committee Discretion to Determine Award. The Committee has the sole discretion to determine the standard or formula pursuant to which each Participants Award shall be calculated, whether all or any portion of the
amount so calculated will be paid, and the specific amount (if any) to be paid to each Participant, subject in all cases to the terms, conditions and limits of the Plan. To this same extent, the Committee may at any time establish (and, once established, rescind, waive or amend) additional conditions and terms of payment of Awards (including but not limited to the achievement of other financial, strategic or individual goals, which may be objective or subjective) as it may deem desirable in carrying out the purposes of the Plan. The Committee may not, however, increase the maximum amount permitted to be paid to any individual under the Plan or pay Awards under this Section 9 if the applicable Performance Target(s) have not been satisfied.

Any shares of Performance-Based Restricted Stock which are forfeited will be transferred to the Company.
E. Form and Timing of Payment. With respect to shares of Performance-Based Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units for which restrictions lapse, new certificates will be issued (the payout) without the restrictive legend described in Section 9B(i).

Such payment will be made as soon as practicable after the Award payment is determined.
10. Stock Appreciation Rights.
A. Grants of Stock Appreciation Rights. Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted under the Plan in conjunction with an Option either at the Date of Grant or
by amendment or may be separately granted. Stock Appreciation Rights will be subject to such terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as the Committee may impose.
B. Right to Exercise; Exercise Period. A Stock Appreciation Right issued pursuant to an Option will be exercisable to the extent the Option is exercisable; both such Stock Appreciation Right and the Option to which it relates will not be exercisable during the six months following their respective Dates of Grant except in the event of the Participants Disability or death. A Stock Appreciation Right issued independent of an Option will be exercisable pursuant to such terms and conditions established in the grant. Notwithstanding such terms and conditions, in the event of a public tender for all or any portion of the Stock or in the event that any proposal to merge or consolidate the Company with another company is submitted to the stockholders of the Company for a vote, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may declare any previously granted Stock Appreciation Right immediately exercisable.
C. Failure to Exercise. If on the last day of the Option Period, in the case of a Stock Appreciation Right granted pursuant to an Option, or the specified Exercise Period, in the case of a Stock Appreciation Right issued independent of an Option, the Participant has not exercised a Stock Appreciation Right, then such Stock Appreciation Right will be deemed to have been exercised by the Participant on the last day of the Option Period or Exercise Period.
D. Payment. An exercisable Stock Appreciation Right granted pursuant to an Option will entitle the Participant to surrender unexercised the Option or any portion thereof to which the Stock Appreciation Right is attached, and to receive in exchange for the Stock Appreciation Right payment (in cash or Stock or a combination thereof as described below) equal to either of the following amounts, determined in the sole discretion of the Committee at the Date of Grant: (1) the excess of the Fair Market Value of one share of Stock at the date of exercise over the Option price, times the number of shares called for by the Stock Appreciation Right (or portion thereof) which is so surrendered, or (2) the excess of the Book Value of one share of Stock at the date of exercise over the Book Value of one share of Stock at the Date of Grant of the related Option, times the number of shares called for by the Stock Appreciation Right. Upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right not granted pursuant to an Option, the Participant will receive for each Stock Appreciation Right payment (in cash or Stock or a combination thereof as described below) equal to either of the following amounts, determined in the sole discretion of the Committee at the Date of Grant: (1) the excess of the Fair Market Value of one share of Stock at the date of exercise over the Fair Market Value of one share of Stock at the Date of Grant of the Stock Appreciation Right, times the number of shares called for by the Stock Appreciation Right, or (2) the excess of the Book Value of one share of Stock at the date of exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right over the Book Value of one share of Stock at the Date of Grant of the Stock Appreciation Right, times the number of shares called for by the Stock Appreciation Right.
The Committee may direct the payment in settlement of the Stock Appreciation Right to be in cash or Stock or a combination thereof. Alternatively, the
Committee may permit the Participant to elect to receive cash in full or partial settlement of the Stock Appreciation Right, provided that (i) the Committee must consent to or disapprove such election and (ii) unless the Committee directs otherwise, the election and the exercise must be made during the period beginning on the 3rd business day following the date of public release of quarterly or year-end earnings and ending on the 12th business day following the date of public release of quarterly or year-end earnings. The value of the Stock to be received upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right shall be the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the trading day preceding the date on which the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised. To the extent that a Stock Appreciation Right issued pursuant to an Option is exercised, such Option shall be deemed to have been exercised, and shall not be deemed to have lapsed.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a change in control of the Company shall not be deemed to occur solely because any person acquires beneficial ownership of more than 20% of the Company Voting Securities as a result of the acquisition of Company Voting Securities by the Company which reduces the number of Company Voting Securities outstanding; provided, that if after such acquisition by the Company such person becomes the beneficial owner of additional Company Voting Securities that increases the percentage of outstanding Company Voting Securities beneficially owned by such person, a change in control of the Company shall then occur.
B. Amount of Award Subject to Accelerated Payout. The amount of a Participants previously granted Award that will be paid or exercisable upon the happening of a change in control (or if earlier upon the termination of the Participants employment with the Company or a Subsidiary if it is reasonably demonstrated that such termination (i) was at the request of a third party who has taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a change in control or (ii) otherwise arose in connection with or anticipation of a change in control) will be determined as follows, provided, that, except as otherwise expressly provided to the contrary in the applicable grant agreement, a Participant will not be entitled to an accelerated vesting or payout of any Covered Awards under this Section 13B in connection with the consummation of the Excluded Transactions:
Service-Based Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit Awards. The Participant will be entitled to an accelerated Award payout, and the amount of the payout will be based on the number of shares of Service-Based Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units that were issued on the Date of Grant.
Stock Option Awards and Stock Appreciation Rights. Any previously granted Stock Option Awards or Stock Appreciation Rights will be immediately and fully vested and will become fully exercisable.
Performance-Based Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units/Performance Units. The Participant will be entitled to an accelerated Award payout, and the amount of the payout will be based on the number of shares of Performance-Based Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units/Performance Units subject to the Award as established on the Date of Grant, prorated based on the number of months of the Performance Period that have elapsed as of the payout date, and assuming that maximum performance was achieved.
Equity Awards. Any previously granted Equity Award will be immediately vested.
Covered Awards. Except as may be expressly provided to the contrary in the applicable grant agreement, Covered Awards shall not vest or be subject to immediate payout as a result of the consummation of the Excluded Transactions, but will remain outstanding in accordance with their terms following the consummation of the Excluded Transactions, subject to any adjustments made by the Plan Administrator in accordance with the provisions of Section 15.
C. Timing of Accelerated Payout/Option Period/Exercise Period. The accelerated payout set forth in Section 13B will be made in cash within 30 days after the date of the change in control. When Stock is related to the Award, the amount of cash will be determined based on the Fair Market Value of Stock on the payout date.
14. Amendment of Plan.
The Committee may at any time and from time to time alter, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan in whole or in part, except (i) no such action may be taken without stockholder approval which materially increases the number of securities which may be issued pursuant to the Plan (except as provided in Section 15H), extends the period for granting Options under the Plan or materially modifies the requirements as to eligibility for participation in the Plan; (ii) no such action may be taken without the consent of the Participant to whom any Award was previously granted, which adversely affects the rights of such Participant concerning such Award, except as such termination or amendment of the Plan is required by statute, or rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; and (iii) no such action that would require the consent of the Board and/or the stockholders of the Company pursuant to Section 162(m) of the Code or the 1934 Act, or any other applicable law, rule, or regulation, shall be effective without such consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may amend the Plan as desirable at the discretion of the Committee to address any issues concerning (i) Section 162(m) of the Code, or (ii) maintaining an exemption under rule 16b-3 of the 1934 Act.
15. Miscellaneous Provisions.
A. Nontransferability. No benefit provided under this Plan shall be subject to alienation or assignment by a Participant (or by any person entitled to such benefit pursuant to the terms of this Plan), nor shall it be subject to attachment or other legal process except (i) to the extent specifically mandated and directed by applicable state or federal statute; (ii) as requested by the Participant (or by any person entitled to such benefit pursuant to the terms of this Plan), and approved by the Committee, to satisfy income tax withholding; and (iii) as requested by the Participant and approved by the Committee, to members of the Participants family, or a trust established by the Participant for the benefit of family members.
B. No Employment Right. Participation in this Plan shall not constitute a contract of employment between the Company or any Subsidiary and any person and shall not be deemed to be consideration for, or a condition of, continued employment of any person.
C. Tax Withholding. The Company or a Subsidiary may withhold any applicable federal, state or local taxes at such time and upon such terms and conditions as required by law or determined by the Company or a Subsidiary. Subject to compliance with any requirements of applicable law, the Committee may permit or require a Participant to have any portion of any withholding or other taxes payable in respect to a distribution of Stock satisfied through the payment of cash by the Participant to the Company or a Subsidiary, the retention by the Company or a Subsidiary of shares of Stock, or delivery of previously owned shares of the Participants Stock, having a Fair Market Value equal to the withholding amount.
D. Fractional Shares. Any fractional shares concerning Awards shall be eliminated at the time of payment or payout by rounding down for fractions of less than one-half and rounding up for fractions of equal to or more than one-half. No cash settlements shall be made with respect to fractional shares eliminated by rounding.
E. Government and Other Regulations. The obligation of the Company to make payment of Awards in Stock or otherwise shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by any government agencies as may be required. The Company shall be under no obligation to register under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (Act), any of the shares of Stock issued, delivered or paid in settlement under the Plan. If Stock awarded under the Plan may in certain circumstances be exempt from registration under the Act, the Company may restrict its transfer in such manner as it deems advisable to ensure such exempt status.
F. Indemnification. Each person who is or at any time serves as a member of the Committee (and each person or Committee to whom the Committee or any member thereof has delegated any of its authority or power under this Plan) shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against and from (i) any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by such person in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which such person may be a party or in which such person may be involved by reason of any action or failure to act under the Plan; and (ii) any and all amounts paid by such person in satisfaction of judgment in any such action, suit, or proceeding relating to the Plan. Each person covered by this indemnification shall give the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before such person undertakes to handle and defend it on such persons own behalf. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled under the Charter or By-Laws of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any power that the Company may have to indemnify such person or hold such person harmless.
G. Reliance on Reports. Each member of the Committee (and each person or Committee to whom the Committee or any member thereof has delegated any of its
authority or power under this Plan) shall be fully justified in relying or acting in good faith upon any report made by the independent public accountants of the Company and its Subsidiaries and upon any other information furnished in connection with the Plan. In no event shall any person who is or shall have been a member of the Committee be liable for any determination made or other action taken or any omission to act in reliance upon any such report or information or for any action taken, including the furnishing of information, or failure to act, if in good faith.
H. Changes in Capital Structure. In the event of any change in the outstanding shares of Stock by reason of any stock dividend or split, recapitalization, combination or exchange of shares or other similar changes in the Stock, then appropriate adjustments shall be made in the shares of Stock theretofore awarded to the Participants and in the aggregate number of shares of Stock which may be awarded pursuant to the Plan. Such adjustments shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes. Additional shares of Stock issued to a Participant as the result of any such change shall bear the same restrictions as the shares of Stock to which they relate.
I. Company Successors. In the event the Company becomes a party to a merger, consolidation, sale of substantially all of its assets or any other corporate reorganization in which the Company will not be the surviving corporation or in which the holders of the Stock will receive securities of another corporation (in any such case, the New Company), then the New Company shall assume the rights and obligations of the Company under this Plan.
J. Governing Law. All matters relating to the Plan or to Awards granted hereunder shall be governed by the laws of the State of Maryland, without regard to the principles of conflict of laws.
K. Relationship to Other Benefits. Any Awards under this Plan are not considered compensation for purposes of determining benefits under any pension, profit sharing, or other retirement or welfare plan, or for any other general employee benefit program.
L. Expenses. The expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by the Company and its Subsidiaries.
M. Titles and Headings. The titles and headings of the sections in the Plan are for convenience of reference only, and in the event of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such titles or headings, shall control.

RE: Service-Based Restricted Stock Award
Dear Recipient:
Effective date, The Board of Directors Compensation Committee, (The Committee), granted you [#] service-based restricted shares of CEG Common Stock (the Award) pursuant to Section 7 of the Constellation Energy Group, Inc. Executive LongTerm Incentive Plan (the Plan). In addition to other provisions of the Plan (a copy of which is provided to you with this letter), your Award is subject to the following conditions:
1. The Plan restriction period for these shares expires as show on the restriction lapse dates in the table below:

2. The Plan requires that as a condition to receiving your Award, you waive in writing the right to make an election under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 with respect to your Award (see Section 7D of the Plan). Your execution of this letter will constitute your waiver to make such election under Section 83(b). This waiver means that you will not have the option of electing to be taxed on the restricted shares at the time of the grant. Instead, you will be taxed on the restricted shares at the time the Plan restrictions are removed (see Attachment A). This waiver allows the Company to treat dividends paid to you during the period of the Plan restrictions as compensation, thereby giving the Company a tax deduction for such amounts.
3. As provided in the Plan, until the Plan restriction period expires, you may not sell, transfer, pledge or hypothecate the Award shares. CEG will hold the shares for safekeeping until the restriction lapse, unless you let us know that you want a stock certificate for the Award. If you prefer a certificate, it will be issued in your name with a legend to the effect that you may not sell, transfer, pledge, or hypothecate the Award shares and that the shares are subject to certain conditions under the Plan.
4. If you contemplate the sale or transfer (for example to a family member) of any shares after the restriction period expires, you should contact the SEC-related persons specified below for advice on the timing of any sale or transfer and any reporting obligations you may have.
Please read the Plan carefully as it contains many other provisions relating to your Award. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call:

ATTACHMENT A
CONSTELLATION ENERGY GROUP, INC.
INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES TO PARTICIPANTS
FOR SERVICE-BASED RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS
Set forth is a brief overview of certain income tax consequences associated with your Service-Based Restricted Stock Award (the Award).
Stock
Because the Plan places certain restrictions on the Award which could lead to forfeiture of the shares prior to lifting the Plan restrictions and because you have agreed to waive the Section 83(b) election(1), the value of the restricted stock is not taxed to you when the initial grant is made. Rather, the stock is taxable to you at the time the restrictions are removed. The amount subject to income tax is the fair market value of the stock on the day that the Plan restrictions are removed. This amount is treated as compensation subject to withholding of income taxes, Medicare taxes and, if applicable, Social Security taxes. You are not taxed on the value of any stock forfeited.
For purposes of determining the gain or loss on any sale of the stock received pursuant to this Award, your basis in the stock is the amount that you included in taxable income when the Plan restrictions were removed. Your tax holding period, for purposes of determining whether a gain or loss on a sale is long-term or short-term, begins on the day after the day that the Plan restrictions were removed.
Dividends
The dividends during the restriction period will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of company common stock. These shares will be subject to the same restrictions as the originally awarded shares and will vest accordingly. For tax purposes, the dividends on the restricted stock will not be taxable as dividend income. Rather, the accumulated shares of stock will be taxable to you in the same manner as stated above.
After the Plan restrictions on the stock are removed, the dividends are treated as regular dividend income (generally not subject to tax withholding).
Tax Planning
You may wish to consult your tax advisor in the year the restrictions are lifted from the Award if you have questions regarding the impact of the Award on your tax withholding or if you have questions about the applicable capital gains holding period and rates for this Award.
(1)The Plan requires that as a condition to receiving a Restricted Stock Award, you must waive in writing the right to make an election under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 with respect to your Award (see Section 7 D of the Plan). This waiver means that you will not have the option of electing to be taxed on the restricted shares at the time of grant. Instead, you will be taxed on the restricted shares at the time the Plan restrictions are removed. This allows the Company to treat dividends paid during the period of Plan restrictions as compensation, thereby giving the Company a tax deduction for such amounts.

Effective [Date], as part of the [3 CALENDAR YEAR PERFORMANCE PERIOD] Long-Term Incentive Program, you were granted [#] performance units (the Units) under the Constellation Energy Group, Inc. Executive LongTerm Incentive Plan (the Plan). In addition to other provisions of the Plan, your award is subject to the conditions set forth in this document.

[End of 3-Year Period] |

Under current tax law, you are not subject to tax on your Units until the Vesting Date.
1. Each Unit is worth $1. The final award payout on the Vesting Date will be based on Constellation Energy Groups relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR) performance over the Performance Period as set forth below. TSR is defined as the stock price change from [BEGINNING TO END OF 3 CALENDAR YEAR PERFORMANCE PERIOD] and dividends during that period that are reinvested on the ex-dividend date (date stock trades without its dividend) at the closing price on that date.
The Plan Administrator will determine the award payout soon after the conclusion of the Performance Period. The performance measures used to determine the award payout are as follows:
· Primary Measure: Constellation Energy TSR for the Performance Period is compared to the TSR performance results of large and mid-size investment grade companies within the Dow Jones Electric Utilities Index (DJEUI) on [END OF PERFORMANCE PERIOD]. In the DJEUI, companies that are rated non-investment grade by both Moodys and S&P rating agencies on [END OF PERFORMANCE PERIOD] are excluded.
· Secondary Measure: If Constellation Energys percentile rank for the Primary Measure is below the [ ] percentile, then a comparison will be made to the TSR performance results of investment grade companies in the S&P 500 Index on [END OF PERFORMANCE PERIOD].

2. The award payout amount is determined by multiplying the Payout vs. Target percentage by the number of Units (worth $1 each) that you were granted. This award payout amount may be settled, in the sole discretion of the Plan Administrator, in either restricted or unrestricted stock or stock units, or cash (or any combination thereof).
3. Under current tax law, you will be subject to tax on the Vesting Date on the award payout amount. The Company will be required to withhold applicable taxes at such time. If the award payout is settled in stock or stock units, the Company will withhold the required number of shares or units to pay these taxes.
4. As provided in the Plan, until the Vesting Date, you may not sell, transfer, or pledge the Units.

RE: Stock Unit Award with Sale Restriction
Dear Recipient:
Effective date, as part of your [PERFORMANCE YEAR] annual incentive and in recognition of your performance during [PERFORMANCE YEAR], you were granted [#] restricted Constellation Energy Group, Inc. (the Company) common stock units with sale restrictions (Deferred Shares) under the Constellation Energy Group, Inc. Executive Long-Term Incentive Plan (the Plan). In addition to other provisions of the Plan, your award is subject to the following conditions:
1. Each Deferred Share entitles you to receive on the Restriction Lapse Date (set forth below) one share of Constellation Energy Group common stock (Common Stock). Under current tax law, you are not subject to tax on your Deferred Shares until the Restriction Lapse Date (see paragraph 4 below).
2. During the Restriction Period (set forth below), on any date that Constellation Energy Group pays dividends with respect to the Common Stock, the Company shall credit you with a number of Deferred Shares equal to (i) the number of your Deferred Shares on the dividend record date times (ii) the dividend rate per share, divided by (iii) the per share reinvestment price. These dividend-based additional Deferred Shares shall be subject to the same rules and restrictions as Deferred Shares originally granted to you.
3. The Restriction Period for your Deferred Shares expires on the Restriction Lapse Date as shown in the table below:

Your Deferred Shares are fully and immediately vested, however, during the Restriction Period, you may not sell, transfer, or pledge the Deferred Shares. During the Restriction Period, you will have no voting rights with respect to the Deferred Shares. The Restriction Period remains in effect irrespective of your employment status.
4. Following the Restriction Lapse Date, the Company shall cause to be issued to you a certificate for shares of Common Stock equal to the number of your Deferred Shares (including dividend-based additional Deferred Shares). Under current tax law, you will be subject to tax on the Restriction Lapse Date based on an amount equal to the number of shares of Common Stock issued to you times the Fair Market Value per share (i.e., the average of the high and low price of the Common Stock on the Restriction Lapse Date). The Company will be required to withhold applicable taxes at such time, and will withhold the required number of shares to pay these taxes. The total shares you receive will be rounded to the nearest whole share. You should consult your tax advisor regarding any tax issues.

The Option Period is the period during which the Option is exercisable as provided in this Agreement.
2. Installment Exercise.
Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Option will be exercisable in installments according to the following schedule (each a Vesting Date):

[Two years after Grant Date] |
[1/3 of Option Shares] Options |
|

3. Termination of Option.
(a) Except as provided in paragraph 3(b) below, the Option will terminate upon the earlier to occur of: (1) when all Option Shares have been exercised; or (2) ten (10) years from the Grant Date (Expiration Date).
(b) If Participant ceases employment, the Option will terminate as to any unvested Option Shares on the effective date of Participants employment Termination (as defined in the Plan) and as to
vested Option Shares 90 days after such effective date; provided that if Participant ceases employment because of Participants Retirement, Disability (each as defined in the Plan), or death, the Option will terminate as to any unvested Option Shares on the effective date of the Retirement, Disability or death, and as to vested Option Shares, the Option will remain exercisable until the earlier of 60 months after such effective date or the Expiration Date.
(c) In the event of Participants death during the Option Period, vested Option Shares may be exercised by Participants legal representative(s), or by other person(s) authorized under Participants will.

(d) A transfer of Participants employment between Constellation Energy and any Subsidiary of Constellation Energy, or between Subsidiaries of Constellation Energy, will not be considered an employment Termination.
4. Exercise of Option.
(a) Subject to this Agreement and the Plan, the Option may be exercised in whole or in part by the method specified by the Plan Administrator from time to time or by contacting [NAME] at [PHONE NUMBER(S)].
(b) On or before the exercise date specified pursuant to paragraph 4(a), Participant must fully pay the Exercise Price and the tax withholding obligation for the Option Shares exercised in U.S. dollars by cash or by check payable to Constellation Energy Group, Inc.

The Option will cease to be exercisable, as to the portion exercised, when Participant purchases the Stock to which the exercised portion of the Option relates.
(c) Other shares of Stock owned by Participant may be delivered to satisfy the Exercise Price, or to satisfy Participants tax withholding obligation above the minimum withholding rate, only if the shares have been held by Participant for at least six months before delivery, except that there shall be no holding period imposed for shares purchased by Participant for cash on the open market. Use of previously-owned shares shall be effected by actual delivery of the Stock certificates to Constellation Energy, and by completing an affidavit available from Constellation Energy affirming that Participant owns the necessary shares and that any applicable holding period has been satisfied.
(d) Participant is required to comply with Constellation Energys Insider Trading Policy at all times, including in connection with exercise of the Option. The Option may not be exercised by Participant during any blackout or prohibited trading period established by Constellation Energy or applicable to Participant, nor shall the Option be exercisable if and to the extent Constellation Energy determines that such exercise would violate applicable state or Federal securities laws or the rules and regulations of any securities exchange on which the Stock is traded. If Constellation Energy makes such a determination, it will use all reasonable efforts to comply with such laws, rules or regulations. In
making any such determinations, Constellation Energy may rely on the opinion of counsel for Constellation Energy.
(e) As soon as practicable after the exercise date, Constellation Energy will deliver to Participant a Stock certificate or certificates (or other evidence of ownership) for the purchased Option Shares.
5. Tax Withholding.
Constellation Energy will have the right to withhold any applicable federal, state or local taxes, deductions or withholdings due with respect to the Option or its exercise in such form and manner as provided in the Plan.
6. Fair Market Value.
The Fair Market Value of a share of Stock is the average of the highest and lowest sale price per share of Stock on the New York Stock Exchange-Composite Transactions on the applicable date of reference, or if there are no sales on such date, then the average of such highest and lowest sale price on the last previous day on which sales are reported.
7. No Rights of Stockholders.
Participant does not have any of the rights and privileges of a stockholder of Constellation Energy with respect to any shares of Stock purchasable or issuable upon the exercise of the Option, in whole or in part, before the date of exercise and purchase of the Option Shares.
8. Non-Transferability of Option.
The Option is not transferable, except for a transfer to Participants family member or to a trust established for the benefit of Participants family members which has been approved by the Plan Administrator as provided in the Plan, or in case of Participants death, by will or the laws of descent and distribution, nor shall the Option be subject to attachment, execution or other similar process. During Participants lifetime, the Option is exercisable only by Participant, any guardian or legal representative of Participant, or a family member or trustee of a trust established for the benefit of Participants family members to whom the Option has been transferred in accordance with the Plan. In the event of (a) any attempt by Participant to alienate, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of the Option, except as provided in this Agreement, or (b) the levy of any attachment, execution or similar process upon the rights or interest conferred under this Agreement, Constellation Energy may terminate the Option by notice to Participant and it will become null and void.
9. Employment Not Affected.
Neither this Agreement nor the grant of the Option constitutes a contract of employment between Constellation Energy or any Subsidiary and Participant, and neither will be deemed to be consideration for, or a condition of, continued employment of Participant.
10. Incorporation of Plan by Reference.
The Option is granted pursuant to the terms of the Plan, the terms of which are incorporated in this Agreement by reference. The Option will in all respects be interpreted in accordance with the Plan. All capitalized terms, which are not otherwise defined in this Agreement, will have the meaning specified in the Plan.
