OPTIONAL REDEMPTION

     The Notes (all capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined
having the meanings given them in the Prospectus Supplement attached hereto)
will be redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole at any time or in part
from time to time, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (a) 100% of the
principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and (b) the sum of the present
values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest on such
Notes discounted to the date fixed for redemption on a semi-annual basis
(assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at a discount rate
equal to the Treasury Rate plus 10 basis points, plus, in either case, accrued
interest to the date of redemption. For this purpose:

          "Comparable Treasury Issue" means the United States Treasury security
     selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity
     comparable to the remaining term to the Stated Maturity Date of the Notes
     that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with
     customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt
     securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the Notes.

          "Comparable Treasury Price" means, with respect to the redemption of
     any Notes, the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation (expressed as a
     percentage of principal amount) on the third Business Day next preceding
     the date fixed for such redemption or, if such Notes are to be defeased in
     accordance with Article 7 of the Indenture prior to such redemption date,
     then on the third Business Day next preceding the date of such defeasance;
     provided, however, that if more than one Reference Treasury Dealer has been
     appointed, "Comparable Treasury Price" means the arithmetical mean of the
     Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations.

          "Independent Investment Banker" means an independent investment
     banking institution of national standing appointed by Conectiv.

          "Reference Treasury Dealer" means each primary United States
     government securities dealer in The City of New York appointed by Conectiv.

          "Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation" means, with respect to a
     Reference Treasury Dealer and the redemption of any Notes, the average, as
     determined by Conectiv, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable
     Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal
     amount and quoted in writing to Conectiv by such Reference Treasury Dealer
     at 5:00 p.m. on the third Business Day next preceding the date fixed for
     such redemption or, if such Notes are to be defeased prior to such
     redemption date, then on the third Business Day next preceding such
     defeasance).

          "Treasury Rate" means, with respect to any date fixed for the
     redemption of any Notes or, if such Notes are to be defeased prior to such
     redemption date, the date of such defeasance.

          (a) the yield, under the heading which represents the average for the
     immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published
     statistical release designated "H.15(519)" or any successor publication
     which is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
     System and which establishes yields on actively traded United States
     Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption
     "Treasury Constant Maturities," for the maturity corresponding to the
     Comparable Treasury Issue (if no maturity is within three months before or
     after the Stated Maturity Date of the Notes, yields for the two published
     maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue
     shall be determined and the Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or
     extrapolated from such yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the
     nearest month) or

          (b) if such release (or any successor release) is not published during
     the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields,
     the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of
     the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the

                                       P-2
   3

     Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal
     amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date or
     defeasance date, as the case may be.

The Treasury Rate will be calculated on the third Business Day preceding such
redemption date or defeasance date, as the case may be.

     The Notes will be redeemed by the Company, on the dates and in the
principal amounts set forth below, at a redemption price of 100% of the

     The principal amount of Notes to be redeemed on each mandatory redemption

amount of Notes which:

     (a) theretofore shall have been redeemed by the Company, at its option, in
accordance with the provisions described above under "Optional Redemption";

described above under "Optional Redemption" and which theretofore shall have

     (c) theretofore shall have been purchased or otherwise acquired by the
Company and delivered to the Trustee at least 45 days prior to such redemption
date;

and which shall not theretofore have been applied to the reduction of any
mandatory redemption requirement. The pro rata reduction of any mandatory
redemption requirement as aforesaid shall be evidenced by the delivery of a

date.
