The CENG Independent Nuclear Advisory Committee 2017 Annual Report December 11, 2017 I. INTRODUCTION AND

SUMMARY

The independent Nuclear Advisory Committee (the "NAC") was originally established through the execution of the Constellation Energy Nuclear Group, LLC

("CENG" or the "Company") 1 Second Amended and Restated Operating Agreement (the "Agreement") dated November 6, 2009. Section 7.5 of the Agreement, as well as the Third and Fourth Amended and Restated Operating Agreements (dated March 12, 2012 and April 1, 2014, respectively), generally set forth the roles and responsibilities of the NAC from inception through 2017. 2, 3 Based on the activities of the NAC during 2017 (through the date of this report),

the NAC advises the CENG Board of Directors (the "Board") and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the "NRC") that nothing came to the NAC's attention that would cause the NAC to advise the Board or the NRC that either:

1. Additional measures should be taken to ensure that the Company is in compliance with U.S. laws and regulations regarding foreign ownership, 1 Reference to CENG throughout this report is intended to include Constellation Energy Nuclear Group LLC, its subsidiaries and affiliates.

2 In accordance with the Agreement, the NAC issued two reports to the Board on December 15, 2010, and December 14, 2011. In accordance with the 2012 Amended Agreement, the NAC issued two reports to the Board on December 17, 2012, and December 9, 2013. The NAC issued its reports under the 2014 Amended Agreement on December 8, 2014; December 8, 2015; and December 12, 2016.

3 The roles and responsibilities of the NAC, as well as the procedures for the conduct of the NAC's activities, are generally set forth in the operating agreements, and more specifically outlined in the NAC Charter that was in effect for 2017 (see Section III of this report for further discussion of the NAC Charter).

The CENG Independent Nuclear Advisory Committee 2017 Annual Report December 11, 2017 control or domination of nuclear operations, or to ensure that a decision of a foreign government could not adversely affect or interfere with the reliable and safe operations of any nuclear assets of the Company; or,

2. Additional policies should be implemented to prudently assure the Company's continued compliance with provisions of U.S. law and regulations regarding (i) nuclear security plans, including physical security and cyber security; (ii) screening of nuclear personnel; (iii) protection of critical nuclear infrastructures; and (iv) U.S. export regulations.

In addition, the NAC did not identify any significant foreign ownership, control or domination matters that might necessitate the NAC to report such matters directly to the NRC or any other governmental agency. Finally, the NAC did not identify any actions in which foreign interests exercised foreign ownership, control, or domination over the licensed activities of the Company's licensed entities, and that no action taken by a foreign interest involved with licensed activities was inimical to the common defense and security of the United States of America. 4 II. SCOPE OF THE REPORT Section 7.5 of the 2014 Fourth Amended and Restated Operating Agreement (the "2014 Amended Agreement") describes the purpose and responsibilities of the NAC. 5 This report to the Board and the NRC provides an overview of the activities of the NAC 4 As of the date of this report, all CENG 2017 Board Resolutions (votes) were unanimously approved, negating the need for the Board Chairman's casting vote.

5 Exhibit I contains the content of Section 7.5 of the 2014 Fourth Amended and Restated Operating Agreement.

CENG Property- Private and For The Use ofCENG ONLY 4 Prepared at the Request of Counsel

The CENG Independent Nuclear Advisory Committee 2017 Annual Report December 11, 2017 during 2017 (through the date of this report), as well as the observations of the NAC regarding any foreign ownership, control or domination ("FOCD") issues and the status of the Company's ability to respond to such issues.

During the 2017 NAC reporting year, all operating, licensing and regulatory activities of the three CENG owned nuclear generating stations (the "CENG stations")

were the responsibility of Exelon Generation Company, LLC. ("ExGen"). 6 As a result of the complete integration of the CENG organization into the ExGen organization and the operation of the CENG stations by ExGen, the risk of a decision of a foreign government to influence the safe, secure and reliable operations of the CENG stations is limited.

Therefore, the scope of the 2017 activities of the NAC reflected this reduced risk of potential FOCD over the operations of the CENG stations. 7 III. THE 2017 CENG NAC CHARTER The NAC Charter that guided the activities of the NAC in 2017 is attached as Exhibit II to this Report. The Charter's key Operating Principles contain the same or 6 Effective March 12, 2012, Constellation Energy Group, Inc. was merged into Exelon Corporation

("Exelon") which transferred its ownership interest in CENG to Exelon Generation Company, LLC, (or ExGen) a wholly owned subsidiary of Exelon. The NRC approved ExGen's application to transfer the operating licenses for the CENG stations from CENG to ExGen in March 2014; ExGen assumed all operating, licensing and regulatory responsibilities for the CENG stations on April 1, 2014. In July 2014, all remaining CENG employees became employees of ExGen.

7 CENG and Exelon management independently confirmed that during 2017 no changes were made to the CENG and ExGen organizations that altered ExGen's responsibility for operating the CENG stations.

The CENG Independent Nuclear Advisory Committee 2017 Annual Report December 11, 2017 very similar language as the 2014 Amended Agreement. 8 However, the Charter also provides authority to the NAC to report directly to the NRC, or any other governmental agency, significant unresolved FOCD matters that might come to the NAC's attention.

Specifically, the Charter states:

"If, in the course of executing its responsibilities, the Advisory Committee learns of unresolved significant matters resulting or that could result from, FOCD, and which are or could be at variance with U.S. law or regulation, or discovers unresolved significant matters that interfere or could interfere with the safe, secure and reliable operations of the nuclear assets of the company, its subsidiaries, or its affiliates, the Advisory Committee is authorized to report these matters directly to the NRC or other appropriate U.S. governmental agency without first seeking authorization from the Company to do so." 9 The NAC members for 2017 are Richard Meserve (Chairman) and James Asselstine. 10 IV. THE FOUNDATION FOR THE CENG NAC'S OBSERVATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS The observations and conclusions of the NAC contained in this report are primarily formulated from the information and analyses obtained from the following three sources. First, the annual NAC meeting was held on August 22, 2017. During 8 The NAC Charter provisions which are similar to the provisions of the 2014 Amended Agreement are not duplicated in this section of the Report.

The CENG Independent Nuclear Advisory Committee 2017 Annual Report December 11, 2017 that meeting the NAC received an update from CENG and ExGen management regarding the principal activities of the Company relating to operational, financial, regulatory and legal matters. 11 The second source of information the NAC has considered in preparation of the 2017 report is the information the NAC members obtained when attending and observing the 2017 Board meetings. A member of the NAC, or their designee, attended each of the Board meetings (in person or by phone) between December 2016 and the date of this report. 12 In addition to providing relevant insights to the Board during those meetings, the NAC members reported their observations, conclusions and perceptions to the NAC after each Board meeting. The knowledge gained at the Board meetings in tum enhanced the NAC's insight into important Company issues, the working relationships among Board members, and the working relationships among the Board, CENG, and ExGen management personnel. 13 11 See Section V of this report for a summary of the NAC meeting.

12 A member of the NAC is scheduled to attend the final 2017 Board meeting on December 12, 2017.

13 During the Board meetings, the NAC observed discussions between ExGen and EDF board members concerning CENG fleet performance and operating issues (SCRAMS and other plant performance),

financial performance (budgets, forecasts, cash flow, liquidity), the adoption of various resolutions, fuel procurement policies, updates on regulatory approval regarding clean energy standards, and the status of the Westinghouse Corporation bankruptcy.

The CENG Independent Nuclear Advisory Committee 2017 Annual Report December 11, 2017 The final primary source of information the NAC has considered in formulating the conclusions presented herein is a limited review performed by N avigant Consulting Inc. ("NCI") 14 on behalf of the NAC concerning potential FOCD events. The NCI review was performed primarily through discussions/interviews with CENG and ExGen management personnel on matters such as CENG operations, 15 changes in operating practices and procedures, the operations of Board Committees, the exchange of information between CENG and EDF, the potential for FOCD to occur, and other relevant topics. Additionally, NCI reviewed relevant documents provided to the NAC by CENG and ExGen. NCI discussed the results of its review with the members of the NAC.

14 Navigant Consulting Inc. is an international consulting firm. Senior members of this firm with significant nuclear power experience provided assistance to the NAC during 2017. A member of NCI also participated in the 2017 NAC meeting.

15 NCI spoke with J. Bradley Fewell (Senior Vice President Regulatory Affairs and General Counsel, ExGen), Jeanne Jones (Chief Financial Officer, Exelon Nuclear), Chris Mudrick (Chief Operating Officer, CENG), and Darani Reddick (Regulatory Affairs Manager & Assistant General Counsel, ExGen).

The CENG Independent Nuclear Advisory Committee 2017 Annual Report December 11, 2017 Also at the meeting, a member of the ExGen General Counsel's office provided the NAC with a legal analysis as to any potential FOCD issues, domestic import and export regulation matters, and the impact of other applicable laws and regulations on the activities of CENG. During this discussion, the NAC was advised of any actual or pending changes in FOCD related laws and regulations during 2017 for the NAC members' consideration in completion of their 2017 activities. As an example, the NAC was updated on the draft revised FOCD Standard Review Plan and new FOCD Regulatory Guide. The discussion of the FOCD Standard Review Plan included information regarding the graded negation action plan criteria and industry comments regarding the proposed Plan. CENG and ExGen personnel agreed to bring any additional developments related to these or other NRC FOCD policy issues to the attention of the NAC on a timely basis.

CENG Property- Private and For The Use ofCENG ONLY 11 Prepared at the Request of Counsel

The CENG Independent Nuclear Advisory Committee 2017 Annual Report December 11, 2017 VI. CONCLUSIONS AND OBSERVATIONS The NAC has completed its 2017 responsibilities to the CENG Board under the 2014 Amended Agreement and the NAC Charters. Those responsibilities generally include determining whether additional measures need to be undertaken by CENG to:

1) ensure the Company's compliance with U.S. laws and regulations regarding FOCD over the nuclear assets of the Company; and, 2) ensure that action by a foreign government would not adversely impact the reliable and safe operation of the Company's nuclear assets. 18 Based on the work undertaken by the NAC during 2017, the NAC finds that nothing has come to the attention of the NAC members that would require the Company to take additional measures to ensure compliance with U.S. laws and regulations regarding FOCD over the CENG stations (the nuclear assets) or the reliable and safe operation of those nuclear assets. Also, the NAC has not identified any significant matter or matters that could potentially affect the safe, secure, or reliable operation of the Company's nuclear assets that would require an independent reporting to the NRC or another U.S. governmental agency. 19 18 The NAC conclusions and observations also specifically apply to the U.S. laws and regulations regarding nuclear security plans, screening of nuclear personnel, the protection of critical nuclear infrastructure and U.S. export regulations.

19 It should be noted that the determination of the significance of a potential FOCD matter remains with the experience and judgment of the NAC and its evaluation of the matter. The facts, circumstances, risks, CENG Property- Private and For The Use ofCENG ONLY 12 Prepared at the Request of Counsel

The CENG Independent Nuclear Advisory Committee 2017 Annual Report IJecemberll,2017 Finally, the NAC reviewed the records of all 2017 CENG Board votes and did not identify any actions where foreign interests exercised foreign ownership, control or domination over the licensed activities of the Company's licensed entities, and that no action taken by a foreign interest involved with licensed activities was inimical to the common defense and security of the licensed entities. 20 As noted above, the managements of CENG and ExGen have regularly brought significant or material issues related to the NAC's Charter to the NAC for its review, consideration, and evaluation. The NAC remains sensitive and alert to the possibility that the concerns of the CENG parents over CENG operating and financial performance could result in unintended influences on the operations of the existing CENG nuclear assets. As a result, the NAC has requested that it be advised in a timely fashion by management of the receipt of any directives from EDF that could be potentially perceived as adversely affecting the operations of the Company. The NAC urges management to continue to be sensitive to the issues of interest to the NAC and to continue to bring potentially relevant issues to the NAC's attention as the NAC and numerous other issues associated with such a matter would need to be fully reviewed by the NAC to determine the significance of the matter and the need for reporting to the NRC or another governmental agency.

20 During 2017 and through the date of this report, all Board Resolutions (votes) were unanimously approved, negating the need for the Board Chairman's casting vote.
