Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

          On June 13, 2007, Delmarva Power & Light Company (the "Company") entered into separate agreements to sell, respectively, all of its distribution assets and substantially all of its transmission assets in the Commonwealth of Virginia for an aggregate sales price of approximately $45 million, subject to closing adjustments.

 

Distribution Purchase and Sale Agreement

 

          The Company has entered into a purchase and sale agreement (the "Purchase and Sale Agreement") with A&N Electric Cooperative ("A&N") to sell all of its assets principally related to the Company's business of distributing retail electric services to customers on the Eastern Shore of Virginia for a purchase price of $39,825,000, subject to closing adjustments. The Company expects the transactions to close during the fourth quarter of 2007 contingent upon the receipt of required regulatory approvals.

 

          The assets to be sold include real and personal property, accounts receivable and customer deposits. A&N will assume certain post-closing liabilities and unknown pre-closing liabilities related to the distribution assets including most environmental liabilities, except that the Company will remain liable for unknown pre-closing liabilities if they become known within six months after the closing date.

 

          The Purchase and Sale Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, covenants, and indemnification provisions. In addition to other customary covenants provided in the Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Company has agreed to (i) replace any oil containing polychlorinated biphenyls in station transformers prior to the closing date, (ii) replace all single phase retail meters within two years of the closing date, and (iii) remediate environmental conditions identified in phase I and phase II environmental studies conducted by the Company, as required by applicable environmental laws.

 

          The completion of the sale is contingent upon the approval by the Virginia State Corporation Commission.
