Edison International's earnings are prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management uses core earnings internally for financial planning and for analysis of performance. Core earnings (losses) are also used when communicating with investors and analysts regarding Edison International's earnings results to facilitate comparisons of the company's performance from period to period. Core earnings (losses) are a non-GAAP financial measure and may not be comparable to those of other companies. Core earnings (losses) are defined as earnings attributable to Edison International shareholders less non-core items. Non-core items include income or loss from discontinued operations, income resulting from allocation of losses to tax equity investors under the HLBV accounting method and income or loss from significant discrete items that management does not consider representative of ongoing earnings, such as write downs, asset impairments and other gains and losses related to certain tax, regulatory, or legal settlements or proceedings, and exit activities, including sale of certain assets and other activities that are no longer continuing.
Edison International's first quarter 2018 earnings decreased $144 million from the first quarter of 2017, comprised of a decline in SCE's earnings of $63 million and an increase in Edison International Parent and Other's losses of $81 million . SCE's lower core earnings resulted from the impact of the July 2017 cost of capital decision on GRC revenue, higher operation and maintenance expenses and higher net financing costs.
Edison International Parent and Other's increase in losses for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was due to higher core losses of $37 million and higher non-core losses of $44 million . The increase in core losses was due to lower income tax benefits related to stock option exercises and the impact of Tax Reform on pre-tax losses.

3






Consolidated non-core items for the first quarter of 2018 and 2017 included:
Impairment and other charges of $66 million ($48 million after tax) in the first quarter of 2018 resulting from Edison International's agreement to sell SoCore Energy to a third party. The net assets of SoCore Energy have been recorded at fair value, less expected transaction costs (see "Results of Operations—Edison International Parent and Other—Strategic Review of Edison Energy Group Competitive Business—Sale of SoCore Energy").
Income of $6 million ($4 million after-tax) and less than $1 million for the first quarter of 2018 and 2017, respectively, related to losses (net of distributions) allocated to tax equity investors under the HLBV accounting method. Edison International core earnings reflected the operating results of the solar projects, related financings and the priority return to the tax equity investor. The losses allocated to the tax equity investor under HLBV accounting method results in income allocated to subsidiaries of Edison International, neither of which is due to the operating performance of the projects but rather due to the allocation of income tax attributes under the tax equity financing. Accordingly, Edison International has included the non-operating allocation of income as a non-core item. For further information on HLBV, see Note 1 of "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" included in the 2017 Form 10-K.
Southern California Wildfires
In December 2017, several wind-driven wildfires (the "December 2017 Wildfires") impacted portions of SCE's service territory and caused substantial damage to both residential and business properties and service outages for SCE customers. The largest of these fires, known as the Thomas Fire, originated in Ventura County and burned acreage located in both Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties. According to the most recent California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection ("Cal Fire") incident information reports, the Thomas Fire burned over 280,000 acres, destroyed an estimated 1,063 structures, damaged an estimated 280 structures and resulted in one fatality.
Determining wildfire origin and cause is often a complex and time-consuming process, and several investigations into the facts and circumstances of the Thomas Fire are believed to be ongoing. SCE has been advised that the origins and causes of the fire are being investigated by Cal Fire and the Ventura County Fire Department. In connection with its investigation of the Thomas Fire, Cal Fire has removed and retained certain of SCE's equipment that was located near suspected ignition points of the fire. The CPUC's SED is also conducting an investigation to assess the compliance of SCE and its facilities with applicable rules and regulations in areas impacted by the Thomas Fire. In addition, as it does in all wildfire matters in which its facilities may or are alleged to be involved, SCE is conducting its own investigation of the Thomas Fire. At this time, SCE cannot predict when its own investigation, or the investigations of Cal Fire, the Ventura County Fire Department or the SED, will be completed.
SCE is aware of multiple lawsuits filed related to the Thomas Fire naming SCE as a defendant. Several of the lawsuits also name Edison International as a defendant. Certain California courts have previously found utilities to be strictly liable for property damage, regardless of fault, by applying the theory of inverse condemnation when a utilities’ facilities were determined to be a substantial cause of a wildfire that caused property damage. Any potential liability for December 2017 Wildfire-related damages will depend on a number of factors, including whether SCE substantially caused, or contributed to, the damages and whether parties seeking recovery of damages will be required to show negligence in addition to causation.
Given the preliminary stages of the investigations and the uncertainty as to the causes of the Thomas Fire, and the extent and magnitude of potential damages, Edison International and SCE are currently unable to predict the outcome of the claims made against SCE and Edison International or reasonably estimate a range of losses that may be incurred. SCE and Edison International’s potential liability related to the Thomas Fire could be substantial.
SCE has approximately $1 billion of wildfire-specific insurance coverage, subject to a self-insured retention of $10 million per occurrence, for wildfire-related claims for the period ending on May 31, 2018. SCE also has approximately $300 million of additional insurance coverage for wildfire-related occurrences for the period from December 31, 2017 to December 31, 2018, which may be used in addition to the $1 billion in wildfire insurance for wildfire events occurring on or after December 31, 2017 and on or before May 31, 2018, and would be available for new wildfire events, if any, occurring after May 31, 2018 and on or before December 30, 2018. Various coverage limitations within the policies that make up SCE's wildfire insurance coverage could result in material self-insured costs in the event of multiple wildfire occurrences during a policy period. Should responsibility for a significant portion of the damages related to the December 2017 Wildfires be attributed to SCE, SCE's insurance may not be sufficient to cover all such damages. In addition, SCE may not be authorized to recover its uninsured damages through electric service rates if, for example, the CPUC finds that the damages were incurred because SCE was not a prudent manager of its facilities.

4






Edison International and SCE are pursuing legislative, regulatory and legal strategies to address the application of a strict liability standard to wildfire-related damages without the ability to recover resulting damages in rates. Edison International and SCE cannot predict whether or when a solution mitigating the significant risk faced by a California investor-owned utility related to wildfires will be achieved.
For further information, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies—Contingencies—Southern California Wildfires" and "Legal Proceedings—December 2017 Wildfire Litigation."
Montecito Mudslides
In January 2018, torrential rains in Santa Barbara County produced mudslides and flooding in Montecito and surrounding areas (the "Montecito Mudslides"). According to Santa Barbara County initial reports, the Montecito Mudslides destroyed an estimated 135 structures, damaged an estimated 324 structures and resulted in at least 21 fatalities, with two additional fatalities presumed.
Of the lawsuits mentioned above, several allege that SCE has responsibility for the Thomas Fire and that the Thomas Fire proximately caused the Montecito Mudslides, resulting in the plaintiffs' claimed damages. Some of the Montecito Mudslides lawsuits also name Edison International as a defendant. Edison International and SCE are currently unable to predict the outcome of the claims made against SCE and Edison International or reasonably estimate a range of losses that may be incurred. SCE and Edison International's potential liability related to the Montecito Mudslides could be substantial, SCE's insurance may not be sufficient to cover such damages, and SCE may not be authorized to recover any uninsured damages in rates.
For further information, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies—Contingencies—Montecito Mudslides" and "Legal Proceedings—Montecito Mudslides Litigation."
Permanent Retirement of San Onofre
Entry into Revised Settlement and Utility Shareholder Agreements
As discussed in the year-ended 2017 MD&A, on January 30, 2018, the OII Parties entered into a Revised San Onofre Settlement Agreement in the CPUC OII proceeding regarding the steam generator replacement project at San Onofre and the related outages and subsequent shutdown of San Onofre. If approved by the CPUC, the Revised San Onofre Settlement Agreement will resolve all issues under consideration in the San Onofre OII and will modify the Prior San Onofre Settlement Agreement. If approved by the CPUC, the Revised San Onofre Settlement Agreement will also result in the dismissal of a federal lawsuit currently pending in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals challenging the CPUC's authority to permit rate recovery of San Onofre costs. The Revised San Onofre Settlement Agreement was the result of multiple mediation sessions in 2017 and January 2018 and was signed on January 30, 2018 following a settlement conference in the OII, as required under CPUC rules.
Implementation of the terms of the Revised San Onofre Settlement Agreement is subject to the approval of the CPUC, as to which there is no assurance. The OII Parties have agreed to exercise their best efforts to obtain CPUC approval, but there can be no certainty of when or what the CPUC will actually decide.
The San Onofre OII Assigned Commissioner and Assigned ALJ have issued joint rulings that, among other things, (i) direct the parties to submit joint testimony to the CPUC in support of the Revised San Onofre Settlement Agreement on April 27, 2018; (ii) direct all parties to submit briefing on whether an attorneys' fees provision in a related settlement agreement pertaining to the dismissal of a federal lawsuit challenging the Prior San Onofre Settlement Agreement impacts the integrity of the CPUC's intervenor compensation program; and (iii) schedule a public participation hearing and a status conference. In lieu of the joint testimony, with the ALJ's consent, the parties submitted a joint stipulation of facts in support of the Revised San Onofre Settlement Agreement on April 27, 2018.

Capital Program
Total capital expenditures (including accruals) were $853 million and $647 million for the first three months of 2018 and 2017, respectively. SCE's first quarter capital spending was consistent with its 2018 plan and SCE continues to project 2018 capital expenditures of approximately $4.2 billion for 2018. As discussed in the year-ended 2017 MD&A in the absence of a 2018 GRC decision, SCE has developed, and is executing against, a 2018 capital expenditure plan that will allow SCE to ramp up its capital spending program over the three-year GRC period to meet what is ultimately authorized in the 2018 GRC decision while minimizing the associated risk of unauthorized spending. Forecasted expenditures for capital projects are subject to change due to, among other things, timeliness of permitting, licensing, regulatory approvals, and contractor bids. For further information regarding the capital program see "Liquidity and Capital Resources—SCE—Capital Investment Plan" and the year-ended 2017 MD&A, "Management Overview—Capital Program."
Distribution Grid Development
Transportation Electrification Plan
In January 2017, SCE filed a transportation electrification plan with the CPUC to accelerate the adoption of electric transportation, which is critical to California's climate change and GHG reduction objectives. The plan proposes a five-year program to fund medium- and heavy-duty vehicle charging infrastructure that follows the model developed for SCE's Charge Ready program. The proposal has an estimated five-year cost of $554 million ($532 million capital) in 2016 dollars. In March 2018, the CPUC issued a proposed decision granting SCE $208 million in 2016 dollars to install the charging infrastructure at a minimum of 700 sites to support the electrification of at least 6,500 medium-and-heavy-duty electric vehicles. If adopted as proposed, the decision will allow customers the option to own the charging infrastructure, which would reduce the costs it can attribute to capital spending. SCE has filed comments on the proposed decision opposing treating customer-owned charging infrastructure as an expense and advocating to remove minimum site requirements based on incorrect cost estimates. SCE expects a final decision in the second quarter of 2018. SCE plans to propose additional programs and pilots in the future. The capital costs for these proposed projects are not included in SCE's capital spending and rate base forecasts.
2018 General Rate Case
As discussed in the year-end 2017 MD&A, in December 2017 SCE filed an update in the GRC proceedings for the three-year period 2018 – 2020. SCE updated its 2018 revenue requirement request from $5.885 billion to $5.673 billion, a $33 million increase over the 2017 GRC authorized revenue requirement, and proposed post-test year increases in 2019 and 2020 of $477 million and $554 million, respectively. In February 2018, SCE further updated its request to incorporate the changes associated with Tax Reform, which resulted in a revenue requirement request of $5.534 billion, a decrease of $139 million from the December update filing and a $106 million decrease from the 2017 GRC authorized revenue requirement. SCE proposed post-test year increases in 2019 and 2020 of $292 million and $319 million, respectively, decreases from the December update filing of $185 million and $235 million, respectively.
A final 2018 GRC decision is not expected until later in 2018. Until a GRC decision is issued, SCE is recognizing revenue in 2018 based on the 2017 authorized revenue requirement, adjusted for the July 2017 cost of capital decision and Tax Reform. The CPUC has approved the establishment of a GRC memorandum account, which will make the 2018 revenue requirement adopted by the CPUC effective as of January 1, 2018. SCE cannot predict the revenue requirement the CPUC will authorize or provide assurance on the timing of a final decision.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Southern California Edison Company
SCE's results of operations are derived mainly through two sources:
Earning activities – representing revenue authorized by the CPUC and FERC which is intended to provide SCE a reasonable opportunity to recover its costs and earn a return on its net investment in generation, transmission, and distribution assets. The annual revenue requirements are comprised of authorized operation and maintenance costs, depreciation, taxes, and a return consistent with the capital structure. Also, included in earnings activities are revenues or penalties related to incentive mechanisms, other operating revenue, and regulatory charges or disallowances.
Cost-recovery activities – representing CPUC- and FERC- authorized balancing accounts which allow for recovery of specific project or program costs, subject to reasonableness review or compliance with upfront standards. Cost-recovery activities include rates which provide recovery, subject to reasonableness review of, among other things, fuel costs, purchased power costs, public purpose related-program costs (including energy efficiency and demand-side management programs), and certain operation and maintenance expenses. SCE earns no return on these activities.

See use of non-GAAP financial measures in "Management Overview—Highlights of Operating Results."
Earning Activities
Earning activities were primarily affected by the following:
Lower operating revenue of $39 million primarily due to the following:
A decrease of $36 million in CPUC revenue related to recognizing revenue based on the 2017 authorized revenue requirement, adjusted for the July 2017 cost of capital decision and the impact of Tax Reform. See "Management Overview—2018 General Rate Case" for further information.
A decrease in FERC revenue of $15 million primarily due to the reduction in the federal corporate income tax rate resulting from Tax Reform.
A decrease in revenue of $10 million related to $18 million resulting from the amortization of excess deferred tax assets as a result of Tax Reform (offset in income taxes below) partially offset by $8 million of lower 2018 incremental tax benefits refunded to customers (offset in income taxes below). See the year-end 2017 MD&A, "Management Overview—Tax Reform" for further information.
In 2017, revenue related to San Onofre were reduced by $22 million, resulting from a $65 million reduction related to the tax abandonment of San Onofre (offset in income taxes below) partially offset by revenue of $43 million related to the recovery of amortization of the San Onofre regulatory asset and authorized return as provided by the Prior San Onofre Settlement Agreement. There is no revenue recorded in 2018 for San Onofre as a result of the Revised San

7






Onofre Settlement Agreement (see "Management Overview—Permanent Retirement of San Onofre" for further information).
Higher operation and maintenance costs of $59 million primarily due to higher insurance premiums associated with additional wildfire insurance coverage entered into in December 2017, higher transmission and distribution costs for line clearing and other maintenance expenses.
Lower depreciation and amortization expense of $38 million primarily related to the amortization of the San Onofre regulatory asset in 2017 (offset in revenue above) and lower intangible plant amortization.
Higher property and other taxes of $8 million primarily due to higher assessed values for property taxes in 2018.
Higher interest expense of $14 million primarily due to increased borrowings.
Lower income tax expense of $18 million primarily due to lower pre-tax income for the first quarter of 2018 at a lower federal income tax rate partially offset by higher tax benefits in 2017 primarily related to the ratemaking treatment on the San Onofre tax abandonment. In addition, SCE had lower tax benefits refunded to customers in 2018 offset by tax benefits from the amortization of excess deferred tax assets as a result of Tax Reform (offset in revenue above). See the year-end 2017 MD&A, "Management Overview—Tax Reform" for further information.
Cost-Recovery Activities
Cost-recovery activities were primarily affected by the following:
Higher purchased power and fuel costs of $142 million primarily driven by higher power prices and volume experienced in 2018 relative to 2017, partially offset by higher congestion revenue right credits.
Higher operation and maintenance expense of $12 million primarily driven by higher transmission access charges, partially offset by lower spending on various public purpose programs.
Higher other income and expenses of $17 million primarily driven by higher net periodic benefit income - non-service cost components in 2018 relative to 2017. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 9. Compensation and Benefit Plans" for further information.
Supplemental Operating Revenue Information
SCE's retail billed and unbilled revenue (excluding wholesale sales) was $2.4 billion and $2.3 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Retail billed and unbilled revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was higher compared to the same period in 2017 primarily due to the implementation of the 2018 ERRA rate increase.
As a result of the CPUC-authorized decoupling mechanism, SCE earnings are not affected by changes in retail electricity sales (see "Business—SCE—Overview of Ratemaking Process" in the 2017 Form 10-K).
Income Taxes
SCE's income tax expense decreased by $18 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the same periods in 2017.
The effective tax rates were (1.9)% and 3.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. SCE's effective tax rate is below the federal statutory rate of 21% and 35% for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, primarily due to CPUC's ratemaking treatment for the current tax benefit arising from certain property-related and other temporary differences, which reverse over time. The accounting treatment for these temporary differences results in recording regulatory assets and liabilities for amounts that would otherwise be recorded to deferred income tax expense. The effective tax rate decrease for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was primarily due to lower pre-tax income at a lower federal tax rate partially offset by higher tax benefits in 2017 primarily related to the ratemaking treatment on the San Onofre tax abandonment.
See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 8. Income Taxes" for a reconciliation of the federal statutory rate to the effective income tax rates.

Edison International Parent and Other
Results of operations for Edison International Parent and Other include amounts from other Edison International subsidiaries that are not significant as a reportable segment, as well as intercompany eliminations.
Strategic Review of Edison Energy Group Competitive Businesses
Sale of SoCore Energy
On February 28, 2018, Edison International agreed to sell SoCore Energy LLC ("SoCore Energy"), a then subsidiary of Edison Energy Group, to a third party, subject to the completion of closing conditions, which were subsequently satisfied on April 16, 2018. As a result, Edison International accounted for the assets and liabilities of SoCore Energy as held for sale as of March 31, 2018 and recognized a pre-tax loss of $66 million ($48 million after-tax). See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 10. Investments" for further information.

Includes income of $4 million and less than $1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, related to losses (net of distributions) allocated to tax equity investors under the HLBV accounting method.
The loss from continuing operations of Edison International Parent and Other was $68 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to income of $13 million for the same period in 2017. The increase in loss was primarily due to a $48 million after-tax impairment charge that resulted from the sale of SoCore Energy (as discussed above), lower income tax benefits of $35 million related to stock option exercises, and the impact of Tax Reform on pre-tax losses.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Southern California Edison Company
SCE's ability to operate its business, fund capital expenditures, and implement its business strategy is dependent upon its cash flow and access to the bank and capital markets. SCE's overall cash flows fluctuate based on, among other things, its ability to recover its costs in a timely manner from its customers through regulated rates, changes in commodity prices and volumes, collateral requirements, interest obligations and any dividend payments to Edison International and preferred and preference shareholders, and the outcome of tax and regulatory matters.
In the next 12 months, SCE expects to fund its cash requirements through operating cash flows, tax benefits, and capital market financings of debt and preferred equity, as needed. SCE also has availability under its credit facility to fund cash requirements.
Available Liquidity
At March 31, 2018 , SCE had approximately $2.58 billion available under its $2.75 billion credit facility. The credit facility is available for borrowing needs until July 2022. In March 2018, SCE issued $1.25 billion of first and refunding mortgage bonds. The proceeds from these bonds were used to repay commercial paper borrowings and for general corporate purposes. For further details, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 5. Debt and Credit Agreements."
SCE may finance balancing account undercollections and working capital requirements to support operations and capital expenditures with commercial paper, its credit facility or other borrowings, subject to availability in the bank and capital markets. As necessary, SCE will utilize its available liquidity, capital market financings of debt and preferred equity or parent company contributions to SCE equity in order to meet its obligations as they become due, including any potential costs related to the December 2017 Wildfires and Montecito Mudslides (see "Management Overview—Southern California Wildfires" and "—Montecito Mudslides" for further information).

Debt Covenant
A debt covenant in SCE's credit facility limits its debt to total capitalization ratio to less than or equal to 0.65 to 1. At  March 31, 2018 , SCE's debt to total capitalization ratio was 0.45 to 1.
At March 31, 2018 , SCE was in compliance with all other financial covenants that affect access to capital.
Capital Investment Plan
Below are updates for large transmission and substation projects since the filing of the 2017 Form 10-K. SCE is currently evaluating the timing of its major construction projects. For further information on these projects, see "Liquidity and Capital Resources—SCE—Capital Investment Plan—Major Transmission Projects" in the year-end 2017 MD&A.
Major Transmission Projects
Alberhill System
The Alberhill System Project would consist of constructing a new 500-kV substation, two 500-kV transmission lines to connect the proposed substation to the existing Serrano-Valley 500-kV transmission line, telecommunication equipment and subtransmission lines in unincorporated and incorporated portions of western Riverside County. The Project was designed to meet long-term forecasted electrical demand in the proposed Alberhill Project area and to increase electrical system reliability. In April 2018, the CPUC issued a proposed decision denying SCE’s request for a certificate of public convenience and necessity based on the presiding administrative law judge's conclusion that the Alberhill System Project is not needed. SCE continues to believe the Alberhill System Project is needed to serve forecasted local area demand and to increase operating flexibility. SCE has filed comments requesting that the CPUC deny the proposed decision as currently proposed and instead grant the certificate of public convenience and necessity for the Alberhill System Project. A final CPUC decision is anticipated in 2018. SCE is unable to predict the outcome of this matter.
Approximately 48% of the Alberhill System Project costs spent to date would be subject to recovery through CPUC revenue and 52% through FERC revenue. In October 2017, SCE obtained approval from the FERC for abandoned plant treatment for the Alberhill System Project, which allows SCE to seek recovery of 100% of all prudently-incurred costs after the approval date and 50% of prudently incurred costs prior to the approval date. Excluding land costs, which may be recovered through sale to a third party, SCE has incurred $39 million of capital expenditures, including overhead costs, as of March 31, 2018, of which $29 million may not be recoverable if the project is cancelled. SCE's total capital expenditures for the Alberhill System Project are estimated to be $486 million, of which approximately $175 million is included in the 2018 – 2020 capital program period.
Riverside Transmission Reliability
The Riverside Transmission Reliability Project is a joint project between SCE and Riverside Public Utilities (RPU), the municipal utility department of the City of Riverside. While RPU would be responsible for constructing some of the Project's facilities within Riverside, SCE's portion of the Project consists of constructing upgrades to its system, including a new 230-kV Substation; certain interconnection and telecommunication facilities and transmission lines in the cities of Riverside, Jurupa Valley and Norco and in portions of unincorporated Riverside County. The purpose of the Project is to provide RPU and its customers with adequate transmission capacity to serve existing and projected load, to provide for long-term system capacity for load growth, and to provide needed system reliability. Due to changed circumstances since the time the Project was originally developed, SCE informed the CPUC in August 2016 that it supports revisions to the proposed Project. In April 2018, the CPUC issued a subsequent environmental impact report which included a new route alternative, different from SCE’s proposed project, as the environmentally preferred project and proposed an additional 220-kV underground power line. SCE is assessing the potential cost impacts of the new route alternative and underground power line. SCE expects a CPUC decision in late 2018 or early 2019.
Dividend Restrictions
On January 31, 2018, SCE paid Edison International a dividend of $212 million that was declared during the fourth quarter of 2017. On February 22, 2018, SCE declared a dividend to Edison International of $212 million that will be paid in the second quarter of 2018.
The CPUC regulates SCE's capital structure which limits the dividends it may pay Edison International. Under CPUC regulations, SCE may make distributions to Edison International as long as the common equity component of SCE's capital structure remains at or above 48% on a 13-month weighted average basis, or otherwise satisfies the CPUC requirements. If the Revised San Onofre Settlement Agreement is approved by the CPUC, SCE may exclude the $448 million after-tax charge

10






resulting from the implementation of the Revised San Onofre Settlement Agreement from its ratemaking capital structure (see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements— Note 12. Commitment and Contingencies" for further information on the Revised San Onofre Settlement Agreement). At March 31, 2018 , without excluding the $448 million after-tax charge, SCE's 13-month average common equity component of total capitalization was 49.7% and the maximum additional dividend that SCE could pay to Edison International under this limitation was approximately $446 million, resulting in a restriction on net assets of approximately $14.3 billion. If the Revised San Onofre Settlement Agreement had been approved by the CPUC at March 31, 2018 , the common equity component of SCE's capital structure would have been 50.0% on a 13-month average basis.
As a California corporation, SCE's ability to pay dividends is also governed by its obligations under the California General Corporation Law. California law requires that for a dividend to be declared: (a) retained earnings must equal or exceed the proposed dividend, or (b) immediately after the dividend is made, the value of the corporation's assets must exceed the value of its liabilities plus amounts required to be paid in order to liquidate stock senior to the shares receiving the dividend. Additionally, a California corporation may not declare a dividend if it is, or as a result of the dividend would be, likely to be unable to meet its liabilities as they mature.
The timing and amount of future dividends are also dependent on a number of other factors including SCE's requirements to fund other obligations and capital expenditures, and its ability to access the capital markets, and generate operating cash flows and earnings. If SCE incurs significant costs related to the December 2017 Wildfires or the Montecito Mudslides and is unable to recover such costs through insurance or from customers or access capital markets on reasonable terms, SCE may be limited in its ability to pay future dividends to Edison international and its preferred and preference shareholders.
Margin and Collateral Deposits
Certain derivative instruments, power procurement contracts and other contractual arrangements contain collateral requirements. Future collateral requirements may differ from the requirements at March 31, 2018 , due to the addition of incremental power and energy procurement contracts with collateral requirements, if any, and the impact of changes in wholesale power and natural gas prices on SCE's contractual obligations.
Some of the power procurement contracts contain provisions that require SCE to maintain an investment grade credit rating from the major credit rating agencies. If SCE's credit rating were to fall below investment grade, SCE may be required to pay the liability or post additional collateral.
The table below provides the amount of collateral posted by SCE to its counterparties as well as the potential collateral that would have been required as of March 31, 2018 .

Edison International Parent and Other
In the next 12 months, Edison International expects to fund its cash requirements through operating cash flows, tax benefits and bank and capital market financings, as needed. Edison International also has availability under its credit facility. Edison International Parent and Other's liquidity and its ability to pay operating expenses and pay dividends to common shareholders are dependent on dividends from SCE, realization of tax benefits, and its access to the bank and capital markets. In addition to having sufficient liquidity, Edison International's ability to pay dividends is dependent upon meeting California law requirements for the declaration of dividends. For information on the California law requirements on the declaration of dividends, see "—SCE—Dividend Restrictions." Edison International intends to maintain its target payout ratio of 45% – 55% of SCE's core earnings, subject to the factors identified above. Edison International may also finance working capital

11






requirements, payment of obligations, capital investments, including capital contributions to subsidiaries, and any common stock dividends with short-term or other financings, subject to availability in the bank and capital markets.
As a result of the expected sale of SoCore Energy, Edison Energy Group made several distributions to Edison International Parent including dividend payments of $55 million in the first quarter of 2018 and dividend payments of $46 million in April 2018. For further information, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 10. Investments."
At March 31, 2018 , Edison International Parent had approximately $58 million of cash and cash equivalents and $1.25 billion available of net borrowing capacity under its $1.25 billion multi-year revolving credit facility. The credit facility is available for borrowing needs until July 2022. In January 2018, Edison International Parent issued a $500 million term loan. In March 2018, Edison International Parent issued $550 million of 4.125% senior notes. The proceeds from the March 2018 issuance were used to repay the $500 million term loan discussed above and for general corporate purposes. For further details, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 5. Debt and Credit Agreements."
A debt covenant in Edison International Parent's credit facility requires a consolidated debt to total capitalization ratio as defined in the credit agreement of less than or equal to 0.65 to 1. At March 31, 2018 , Edison International Parent's consolidated debt to total capitalization ratio was 0.50 to 1.
At March 31, 2018 , Edison International Parent was also in compliance with all other financial covenants that affect access to capital.

Net cash provided by operating activities was impacted by the following:
Net income decreased in 2018 by $64 million primarily due to the impact of the July 2017 cost of capital decision on GRC revenue, higher operation and maintenance expenses and higher net financing costs. During the first three months of 2018, the amounts billed to customers was based on the 2017 authorized GRC revenue requirement and therefore, a regulatory liability (see below) has been established to record any associated adjustments.
Net cash for working capital was $(354) million and $ (165) million during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The net cash for each period was primarily related to the reductions of payables (including payments for payroll-related costs and purchased power) of $235 million and $230 million during the first quarters of 2018 and 2017, respectively, and changes in receivables from customers of $(222) million in 2018 and $133 million in 2017.
Net cash provided by regulatory assets and liabilities, including changes in over (under) collections of balancing accounts was $405 million and $129 million during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. SCE has a number of balancing accounts, which impact cash flows based on differences between timing of collection of amounts through rates and accrual expenditures. Cash flows were primarily impacted by the following:
2018
Higher cash due to $143 million of overcollections for the public purpose and energy efficiency programs resulting from lower program spending.
BRRBA overcollections increased by $122 million during the first three months of 2018 primarily due to the timing of revenue, partially offset by the refund of 2016 TAMA overcollections.
Higher cash of $42 million due to cash collected for San Onofre under the Prior San Onofre Settlement Agreement. For further information, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies—Contingencies—Permanent Retirement of San Onofre."
Higher cash reflected in regulatory liabilities of approximately $90 million primarily due to the delay in the 2018 GRC decision. Until a final 2018 GRC decision is issued, SCE recognized revenue for the first quarter of 2018 largely based on the 2017 authorized revenue requirement (see discussion above).
2017
Higher cash due to $64 million of overcollections for the public purpose and energy efficiency programs. Overcollections for public purpose and energy efficiency programs increased due to lower spending for these programs.
Higher cash due to realization of $47 million in proceeds from the MHI arbitration. For further information on the MHI claims, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies—Contingencies—Permanent Retirement of San Onofre."
BRRBA overcollections decreased by $66 million during the first three months of 2017 primarily due to the refund of 2015 overcollections resulting from the implementation of the 2015 GRC decision, which was authorized to be refunded to customers over a two-year period.
Higher cash of approximately $84 million primarily due to lower spending for the new system generation program, which records the benefits and costs of power purchase agreements and SCE-owned peaker generation units associated with new generation resources.
Cash flows used in other noncurrent assets and liabilities were primarily related to net earnings from nuclear decommissioning trust investments ( $30 million and $27 million in 2018 and 2017, respectively) and SCE's payments of decommissioning costs ( $41 million and $45 million in 2018 and 2017, respectively). See "Nuclear Decommissioning Activities" below for further discussion.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
Cash flows used in investing activities are primarily due to capital expenditures related to transmission and distribution investments ($ 1.1 billion and $ 934 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively). In addition, during the first three months of 2018, SCE had a net redemption of nuclear decommissioning trust investments of $24 million. See "Nuclear Decommissioning Activities" below for further discussion.
Nuclear Decommissioning Activities
SCE's statement of cash flows includes nuclear decommissioning activities, which are reflected in the following line items:

Net cash used in operating activities relate to interest and dividends less administrative expenses, taxes, and SCE's decommissioning costs. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 10. Investments" for further information. Investing activities represent the purchase and sale of investments within the nuclear decommissioning trusts, including the reinvestment of earnings from nuclear decommissioning trust investments. The net cash impact reflects timing of decommissioning payments ( $41 million and $45 million in 2018 and 2017, respectively) and reimbursements to SCE from the nuclear decommissioning trust ($54 million and $26 million in 2018 and 2017, respectively).

Contingencies
SCE has contingencies related to San Onofre Related Matters, Nuclear Insurance, December 2017 Wildfires, Montecito Mudslides, Environmental Remediation, and Spent Nuclear Fuel, which are discussed in "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies."
MARKET RISK EXPOSURES
Edison International's and SCE's primary market risks are described in the 2017 Form 10-K. For a further discussion of market risk exposures, including commodity price risk, credit risk, and interest rate risk, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 4. Fair Value Measurements" and "—Note 6. Derivative Instruments."
Commodity Price Risk
SCE records derivative instruments on its consolidated balance sheets as either assets or liabilities measured at fair value unless otherwise exempted from derivative treatment as normal purchases or sales. The fair value of outstanding derivative instruments used to mitigate exposure to commodity price risk was reflected as a net asset of $94 million and $109 million on SCE's consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. For further discussion of fair value measurements and the fair value hierarchy, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 4. Fair Value Measurements" and "— Note 6. Derivative Instruments."

15






Credit Risk
Credit risk exposure from counterparties for power and gas trading activities is measured as the sum of net accounts receivable (accounts receivable less accounts payable) and the current fair value of net derivative assets (derivative assets less derivative liabilities) reflected on the consolidated balance sheets. SCE enters into master agreements which typically provide for a right of setoff. Accordingly, SCE's credit risk exposure from counterparties is based on a net exposure under these arrangements. SCE manages the credit risk on the portfolio for both rated and non-rated counterparties based on credit ratings using published ratings of counterparties and other publicly disclosed information, such as financial statements, regulatory filings, and press releases, to guide it in the process of setting credit levels, risk limits, and contractual arrangements, including master netting agreements.
As of March 31, 2018 , the amount of balance sheet exposure as described above broken down by the credit ratings of SCE's counterparties, was as follows:
 
March 31, 2018
(in millions)
Exposure 2
 
Collateral
 
Net Exposure
S&P Credit Rating 1
 
 
 
 
 
A or higher 3
$
95

 
$

 
$
95

1  
SCE assigns a credit rating based on the lower of a counterparty's S&P or Moody's rating. For ease of reference, the above table uses the S&P classifications to summarize risk, but reflects the lower of the credit ratings from S&P or Moody's.
2  
Exposure excludes amounts related to contracts classified as normal purchases and sales and non-derivative contractual commitments that are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheets, except for any related net accounts receivable.
3  
Exposure to companies with S&P Credit Rating below A is immaterial.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND POLICIES
For a complete discussion on Edison International's and SCE's critical accounting policies, see "Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies" in the year-ended 2017 MD&A.
NEW ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE
New accounting guidance is discussed in "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies—New Accounting Guidance."
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Information responding to this section is included in the MD&A under the heading "Market Risk Exposures" and is incorporated herein by reference.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization and Basis of Presentation
Edison International is the parent holding company of Southern California Edison Company ("SCE") and Edison Energy Group, Inc. ("Edison Energy Group"). SCE is an investor-owned public utility primarily engaged in the business of supplying and delivering electricity to an approximately 50,000 square mile area of southern California. Edison Energy Group is a holding company for subsidiaries, including Edison Energy, LLC ("Edison Energy"), engaged in pursuing competitive business opportunities across energy services and managed portfolio solutions for commercial and industrial customers. Such business activities are currently not material to report as a separate business segment. These combined notes to the consolidated financial statements apply to both Edison International and SCE unless otherwise described. Edison International's consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Edison International, SCE, and other wholly owned and controlled subsidiaries. References to Edison International refer to the consolidated group of Edison International and its subsidiaries. References to Edison International Parent and Other refer to Edison International Parent and its competitive subsidiaries. SCE's consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SCE and its wholly owned and controlled subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated from the consolidated financial statements.
Edison International's and SCE's significant accounting policies were described in Note 1 of "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" included in Edison International's and SCE's combined Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2017 (the "2017 Form 10-K"). This quarterly report should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the 2017 Form 10-K.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of recurring accruals, have been made that are necessary to fairly state the consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") for the periods covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.
The December 31, 2017 financial statement data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.
Effective January 1, 2018, Edison International and SCE adopted several accounting standards retrospectively. Prior year financial statements have been updated to reflect the retrospective application of these standards as applicable. For further information, see "New Accounting Guidance" below.
Sale of SoCore Energy
On February 28, 2018, Edison International agreed to sell SoCore Energy LLC ("SoCore Energy"), a then subsidiary of Edison Energy Group, to a third party, subject to the completion of closing conditions, which were satisfied on April 16, 2018. As a result, Edison International accounted for the assets and liabilities of SoCore Energy as held for sale as of March 31, 2018 on the consolidated Edison International balance sheet. See Note 10 for further information.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
Cash equivalents includes investments in money market funds. Generally, the carrying value of cash equivalents equals the fair value, as these investments have original maturities of three months or less. The cash equivalents were as follows:

Edison International's restricted cash at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was $27 million and $41 million , respectively. Restricted cash primarily relates to funds held by SoCore Energy and its consolidated affiliates pursuant to project financing or purchase agreements, most of which are expected to lapse during 2018. As discussed above, Edison International accounted for the assets and liabilities of SoCore Energy as held for sale as of March 31, 2018 (see Note 10 for further information).
The following table sets forth the cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash included in the consolidated statements of cash flows:

Revenue Recognition
During the first three months of 2018, pending the outcome of the 2018 GRC decision, SCE recognized GRC-related revenue based on the 2017 authorized revenue requirement, adjusted for the July 2017 cost of capital decision and the impact of Tax Reform. The amounts billed to customers for the first three months of 2018 was also based on the 2017 authorized revenue requirement and a regulatory liability has been established to record any associated adjustments. The CPUC has authorized the establishment of a GRC memorandum account, which will make the 2018 revenue requirement ultimately adopted by the CPUC effective as of January 1, 2018. SCE cannot predict the revenue requirement the CPUC will authorize or provide assurance on the timing of a final decision. In December 2017, the FERC issued an order setting the effective date of SCE's new FERC formula rate as January 1, 2018, subject to settlement procedures and refund. Pending resolution of the FERC formula rate proceeding, SCE is recognizing revenue based on the FERC formula rate adjusted for the impact of Tax Reform and other adjustments.

Earnings Per Share
Edison International computes earnings per common share ("EPS") using the two-class method, which is an earnings allocation formula that determines EPS for each class of common stock and participating security. Edison International's participating securities are stock-based compensation awards payable in common shares, including restricted stock units, which earn dividend equivalents on an equal basis with common shares once the awards are vested. EPS attributable to Edison International common shareholders was computed as follows:

In addition to the participating securities discussed above, Edison International also may award stock options, which are payable in common shares and are included in the diluted earnings per share calculation. Stock option awards to purchase 6,222,294 and 1,355,930 shares of common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 , respectively, were outstanding, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would have been antidilutive.
New Accounting Guidance
Accounting Guidance Adopted
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an accounting standards update on revenue recognition and further amended the standard in 2016 and 2017. Under the new standard, revenue is recognized when a good or service is transferred to the customer and the customer obtains control of the good or service. Some revenue arrangements, such as alternative revenue programs which include balancing account overcollections and undercollections, are excluded from the scope of the new standard and, therefore, will be accounted for and presented separately from revenue recognized from contracts with customers in the disclosures. Edison International and SCE adopted this standard effective January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective method for contracts that were not completed as of the adoption date. Edison International recognized a cumulative effect adjustment to increase the opening balance of retained earnings by approximately $5 million ( $7 million pre-tax) on January 1, 2018. This adjustment is related to variable consideration recognized at Edison Energy which is not subject to potential significant reversal and has no further performance obligations. See Note 7 for further details.
In January 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standards update that amends the guidance on the classification and measurement of financial instruments, and further amended the guidance in 2018. Under the new guidance, equity investments (excluding those accounted for under the equity method or those that result in consolidation) are required to be measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in net income. The new guidance also amends certain disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments and requires financial assets and financial liabilities to be presented separately in the notes to the financial statements, grouped by measurement category and form of financial assets.

29






Edison International and SCE adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2018. Edison International recognized a cumulative effect adjustment to increase the opening balance of retained earnings and accumulated other comprehensive loss by $5 million ( $8 million pre-tax) on January 1, 2018. See Note 2 for further details.
The FASB issued two accounting standards updates related to the statement of cash flows. One standard update clarifies the presentation and classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows and other requires restricted cash to be presented with cash and cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. Edison International and SCE adopted these standards effective January 1, 2018, using the retrospective approach. The adoption of these standards did not have a material impact on Edison International's and SCE's consolidated statement of cash flows.
In March 2017, the FASB issued an accounting standards update on the presentation of the components of net periodic benefit cost for an entity's defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans. Edison International and SCE adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2018. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on Edison International's and SCE's consolidated financial statements, but did result in the separate presentation of service costs as an operating expense and non-service costs within other income and expenses and limits the capitalization of benefit costs to the service cost component. The standard was adopted retrospectively with respect to the income statement presentation requirement and prospectively for the capitalization requirement. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, non-service costs (benefits) totaled $(8) million and $(9) million for Edison International and SCE, respectively, which were reclassified from "Operation and maintenance" to "Other income and expenses." See Note 9 and Note 14 for further details.
Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted
In February 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standards update related to lease accounting and further amended the standard in 2018. The updated standard is effective January 1, 2019. Under the new standard, a lease is defined as a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to control the use of identified assets for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Lessees will need to recognize leases on the balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a related lease liability, and classify the leases as either operating or finance. The liability will be equal to the present value of lease payments. The asset will be based on the liability, subject to adjustments, such as initial direct costs. Edison International's operating leases will result in straight-line expense while finance leases will result in a higher initial expense pattern due to the interest component. SCE, as a regulated entity, is permitted to continue to recognize expense using the timing that conforms to the regulatory rate treatment. Lessees can elect to exclude from the balance sheet short-term contracts of one year or less. This standard requires retrospective application to previously issued financial statements for 2018 and 2017. Although permitted, Edison International and SCE has elected not to adopt this standard prior to January 1, 2019. The standard will provide entities with an optional transition method to apply the new requirements in the period of adoption without retrospective application to previous periods. Edison International and SCE are evaluating whether to elect this optional transition method. The adoption of this standard will increase right-of-use assets and lease liabilities in Edison International's and SCE's consolidated balance sheets. Edison International and SCE are currently implementing a new lease accounting system and are evaluating the impact this standard will have on the consolidated balance sheets and lease disclosures.
The FASB issued an accounting standards update related to the impairment of financial instruments, effective January 1, 2020. The new guidance provides an impairment model, known as the current expected credit loss model, which is based on expected credit losses rather than incurred losses. Edison International and SCE are currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance.
In January 2017, the FASB issued an accounting standards update to simplify the accounting for goodwill impairment. This accounting standards update changes the procedural steps in applying the goodwill impairment test. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit's carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. Edison International will apply this guidance to the goodwill impairment test beginning in 2020.
In February 2018, the FASB issued an accounting standards update related to stranded income tax effects due to the 2017 Tax Reform enacted on December 22, 2017. As a result of the lower federal corporate tax rate, deferred taxes were re-measured with the impact included in operating income in December 2017. The tax effects of items within AOCI were appropriately left unadjusted (i.e. stranded tax effects) and, therefore, are not stated at the revised tax rate. The new accounting guidance provides entities with an election to reclassify from AOCI to retained earnings for stranded income tax effects resulting from the 2017 Tax Reform. The new guidance should be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period(s) in which the effect of the rate change is recognized. The new guidance is effective January 1, 2019 with early adoption permitted. Edison International and SCE are in the process of evaluating the new guidance.

Note 3.    Variable Interest Entities
A VIE is defined as a legal entity that meets one of two conditions: (1) the equity owners do not have sufficient equity at risk, or (2) the holders of the equity investment at risk, as a group, lack any of the following three characteristics: decision-making rights, the obligation to absorb losses, or the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity. The primary beneficiary is identified as the variable interest holder that has both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The primary beneficiary is required to consolidate the VIE. A subsidiary of Edison International is the primary beneficiary of entities that own solar projects. Commercial and operating activities are generally the factors that most significantly impact the economic performance of such VIEs. Commercial and operating activities include site and equipment selection, construction, operation and maintenance, fuel procurement, dispatch, and compliance with regulatory and contractual requirements.

32






Variable Interest in VIEs that are not Consolidated
Power Purchase Agreements
SCE has power purchase agreements ("PPAs") that are classified as variable interests in VIEs, including tolling agreements through which SCE provides the natural gas to fuel the plants and contracts with qualifying facilities that contain variable pricing provisions based on the price of natural gas. SCE has concluded that it is not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs since it does not control the commercial and operating activities of these entities. Since payments for capacity are the primary source of income, the most significant economic activity for these VIEs is the operation and maintenance of the power plants.
As of the balance sheet date, the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in SCE's consolidated balance sheet that relate to its involvement with VIEs result from amounts due under the PPAs. Under these contracts, SCE recovers the costs incurred through demonstration of compliance with its California Public Utilities Commission ("CPUC")-approved long-term power procurement plans. SCE has no residual interest in the entities and has not provided or guaranteed any debt or equity support, liquidity arrangements, performance guarantees, or other commitments associated with these contracts other than the purchase commitments described in Note 11 of the 2017 Form 10-K. As a result, there is no significant potential exposure to loss to SCE from its variable interest in these VIEs. The aggregate contracted capacity dedicated to SCE from these VIE projects was 3,454  MW and 4,928  MW at March 31, 2018 and 2017 , respectively, and the amounts that SCE paid to these projects were $143 million and $140 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 , respectively. These amounts are recoverable in customer rates, subject to reasonableness review.
Unconsolidated Trusts of SCE
SCE Trust II, Trust III, Trust IV, Trust V, and Trust VI were formed in 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017, respectively, for the exclusive purpose of issuing the 5.10% , 5.75% , 5.375% , 5.45% , and 5.00% trust preference securities, respectively ("trust securities"). The trusts are VIEs. SCE has concluded that it is not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs as it does not have the obligation to absorb the expected losses or the right to receive the expected residual returns of the trusts. SCE Trust II, Trust III, Trust IV, Trust V and Trust VI issued to the public trust securities in the face amounts of $400 million , $275 million , $325 million , $300 million , and $475 million (cumulative, liquidation amounts of $25 per share), respectively, and $10,000 of common stock each to SCE. The trusts invested the proceeds of these trust securities in Series G, Series H, Series J, Series K, and Series L Preference Stock issued by SCE in the principal amounts of $400 million , $275 million , $325 million , $300 million , and $475 million (cumulative, $2,500 per share liquidation values), respectively, which have substantially the same payment terms as the respective trust securities.
The Series G, Series H, Series J, Series K, and Series L Preference Stock and the corresponding trust securities do not have a maturity date. Upon any redemption of any shares of the Series G, Series H, Series J, Series K, or Series L Preference Stock, a corresponding dollar amount of trust securities will be redeemed by the applicable trust. The applicable trust will make distributions at the same rate and on the same dates on the applicable series of trust securities if and when the SCE board of directors declares and makes dividend payments on the related Preference Stock. The applicable trust will use any dividends it receives on the related Preference Stock to make its corresponding distributions on the applicable series of trust securities. If SCE does not make a dividend payment to any of these trusts, SCE would be prohibited from paying dividends on its common stock. SCE has fully and unconditionally guaranteed the payment of the trust securities and trust distributions, if and when SCE pays dividends on the related Preference Stock.
SCE formed Trust I, a VIE, in 2012 for the exclusive purpose of issuing 5.625% trust preference securities. SCE Trust I issued trust securities in the face amounts of $475 million to the public and $10,000 of common stock to SCE. SCE Trust I invested the proceeds of these trust securities in Series F Preference Stock issued by SCE in the principal amount of $475 million . In July 2017, all of the outstanding Series F Preference Stock was redeemed, and accordingly, SCE Trust I redeemed $475 million of trust securities from the public and $10,000 of common stock from SCE. As a result in September 2017, SCE Trust I was terminated.
The Trust II, Trust III, Trust IV, Trust V and Trust VI balance sheets as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , consisted of investments of $400 million , $275 million , $325 million , $300 million , and $475 million in the Series G, Series H, Series J, Series K and Series L Preference Stock, respectively, $400 million , $275 million , $325 million , $300 million , and $475 million of trust securities, respectively, and $10,000 each of common stock.

Note 4.    Fair Value Measurements
Recurring Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (referred to as an "exit price"). Fair value of an asset or liability considers assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about nonperformance risk. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , nonperformance risk was not material for Edison International and SCE.
Assets and liabilities are categorized into a three-level fair value hierarchy based on valuation inputs used to determine fair value.
Level 1 – The fair value of Edison International's and SCE's Level 1 assets and liabilities is determined using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are available at the measurement date for identical assets and liabilities. This level includes exchange-traded equity securities, U.S. treasury securities, mutual funds, and money market funds.
Level 2 – Edison International's and SCE's Level 2 assets and liabilities include fixed income securities, primarily consisting of U.S. government and agency bonds, municipal bonds and corporate bonds, and over-the-counter derivatives. The fair value of fixed income securities is determined using a market approach by obtaining quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the instrument.
The fair value of SCE's over-the-counter derivative contracts is determined using an income approach. SCE uses standard pricing models to determine the net present value of estimated future cash flows. Inputs to the pricing models include forward published or posted clearing prices from exchanges (New York Mercantile Exchange and Intercontinental Exchange) for similar instruments and discount rates. A primary price source that best represents trade activity for each market is used to develop observable forward market prices in determining the fair value of these positions. Broker quotes, prices from exchanges, or comparison to executed trades are used to validate and corroborate the primary price source. These price quotations reflect mid-market prices (average of bid and ask) and are obtained from sources believed to provide the most liquid market for the commodity.
Level 3 – The fair value of SCE's Level 3 assets and liabilities is determined using the income approach through various models and techniques that require significant unobservable inputs. This level includes derivative contracts that trade infrequently such as congestion revenue rights ("CRRs"). Edison International Parent and Other does not have any Level 3 assets and liabilities.
Assumptions are made in order to value derivative contracts in which observable inputs are not available. In circumstances where fair value cannot be verified with observable market transactions, it is possible that a different valuation model could produce a materially different estimate of fair value. Modeling methodologies, inputs, and techniques are reviewed and assessed as markets continue to develop and more pricing information becomes available and the fair value is adjusted when it is concluded that a change in inputs or techniques would result in a new valuation that better reflects the fair value of those derivative contracts. See Note 6 for a discussion of derivative instruments.

During the third quarter of 2017, SCE designated certain derivative contracts as normal purchase and normal sale contracts, which resulted in a reclassification of $914 million from derivative liabilities to other liabilities.
Edison International and SCE recognize the fair value for transfers in and transfers out of each level at the end of each reporting period. There were no material transfers between any levels during 2018 and 2017 .
Valuation Techniques Used to Determine Fair Value
The process of determining fair value is the responsibility of SCE's risk management department, which reports to SCE's chief financial officer. This department obtains observable and unobservable inputs through broker quotes, exchanges, and internal valuation techniques that use both standard and proprietary models to determine fair value. Each reporting period, the risk and finance departments collaborate to determine the appropriate fair value methodologies and classifications for each derivative. Inputs are validated for reasonableness by comparison against prior prices, other broker quotes, and volatility fluctuation thresholds. Inputs used and valuations are reviewed period-over-period and compared with market conditions to determine reasonableness.

Level 3 Fair Value Sensitivity
Congestion Revenue Rights
For CRRs, where SCE is the buyer, generally increases (decreases) in forecasted load in isolation would result in increases (decreases) to the fair value. In general, an increase (decrease) in electricity and gas prices at illiquid locations tends to result in increases (decreases) to fair value; however, changes in electricity and gas prices in opposite directions may have varying results on fair value.
Nuclear Decommissioning Trusts
SCE's nuclear decommissioning trust investments include equity securities, U.S. treasury securities, and other fixed income securities. Equity and treasury securities are classified as Level 1 as fair value is determined by observable market prices in active or highly liquid and transparent markets. The remaining fixed income securities are classified as Level 2. The fair value of these financial instruments is based on evaluated prices that reflect significant observable market information such as reported trades, actual trade information of similar securities, benchmark yields, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, bids, offers, and relevant credit information. There are no securities classified as Level 3 in the nuclear decommissioning trusts.

Note 5.    Debt and Credit Agreements
Long-Term Debt
In January 2018, Edison International Parent borrowed $500 million under a Term Loan Agreement due in January 2019, with a variable interest rate based on the London Interbank Offered Rate plus 60 basis points . The proceeds were used to repay Edison International Parent's commercial paper borrowings. In March 2018, Edison International Parent issued $550 million of 4.125% senior notes due 2028. The proceeds from the March 2018 issuance were used to repay the $500 million Term Loan discussed above and for general corporate purposes.
In March 2018, SCE issued $450 million of 2.90% first and refunding mortgage bonds due 2021, $400 million of 3.65% first and refunding mortgage bonds due 2028 and $400 million of 4.125% first and refunding mortgage bonds due 2048. The proceeds from these bonds were used to repay commercial paper borrowings and for general corporate purposes.
Credit Agreements and Short-Term Debt
SCE and Edison International Parent have multi-year revolving credit facilities of $2.75 billion and $1.25 billion , respectively, both maturing in July 2022. SCE's credit facility is generally used to support commercial paper borrowings and letters of credit issued for procurement-related collateral requirements, balancing account undercollections and for general corporate purposes, including working capital requirements to support operations and capital expenditures. Edison International Parent's credit facility is used to support commercial paper borrowings and for general corporate purposes.

37






At March 31, 2018 , SCE's outstanding commercial paper, net of discount, was $ 70 million at a weighted-average interest rate of 2.24% . At March 31, 2018 , letters of credit issued under SCE's credit facility aggregated $103 million and are scheduled to expire in twelve months or less. At December 31, 2017 , the outstanding commercial paper, net of discount, was $738 million at a weighted-average interest rate of 1.75% . In December 2017, SCE borrowed $500 million from the credit facility. The interest rate on this loan was 2.46% on December 31, 2017 . In January 2018, SCE repaid its $500 million borrowings with cash on hand.
At March 31, 2018 , Edison International Parent had no outstanding commercial paper. At December 31, 2017 , the outstanding commercial paper, net of discount, was $639 million at a weighted-average interest rate of 1.70% . In December 2017, Edison International borrowed $500 million from the credit facility. The interest rate on this loan was 2.56% on December 31, 2017 . In January 2018, Edison International repaid its $500 million borrowings with cash on hand.
Note 6.    Derivative Instruments
Derivative financial instruments are used to manage exposure to commodity price risk. These risks are managed in part by entering into forward commodity transactions, including options, swaps, and futures. To mitigate credit risk from counterparties in the event of nonperformance, master netting agreements are used whenever possible and counterparties may be required to pledge collateral depending on the creditworthiness of each counterparty and the risk associated with the transaction.
Commodity Price Risk
Commodity price risk represents the potential impact that can be caused by a change in the market value of a particular commodity. SCE's electricity price exposure arises from energy purchased from and sold to wholesale markets as a result of differences between SCE's load requirements and the amount of energy delivered from its generating facilities and PPAs. SCE's natural gas price exposure arises from natural gas purchased for the Mountainview power plant and peaker plants, QF contracts where pricing is based on a monthly natural gas index, and PPAs in which SCE has agreed to provide the natural gas needed for generation, referred to as tolling arrangements.
Credit and Default Risk
Credit and default risk represent the potential impact that can be caused if a counterparty were to default on its contractual obligations and SCE would be exposed to spot markets for buying replacement power or selling excess power. In addition, SCE would be exposed to the risk of non-payment of accounts receivable, primarily related to the sales of excess power and realized gains on derivative instruments.
Certain power contracts contain master netting agreements or similar agreements, which generally allow counterparties subject to the agreement to offset amounts when certain criteria are met, such as in the event of default. The objective of netting is to reduce credit exposure. Additionally, to reduce SCE's risk exposures counterparties may be required to pledge collateral depending on the creditworthiness of each counterparty and the risk associated with the transaction.
Certain power contracts contain a provision that requires SCE to maintain an investment grade rating from each of the major credit rating agencies, referred to as a credit-risk-related contingent feature. If SCE's credit rating were to fall below investment grade, SCE may be required to post additional collateral to cover derivative liabilities and the related outstanding payables. The net fair value of all derivative liabilities with these credit-risk-related contingent features was $1 million as of both March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , for which SCE has posted less than $1 million collateral at both March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , to its counterparties for its derivative liabilities and related outstanding payables. If the credit-risk-related contingent features underlying these agreements were triggered on March 31, 2018 , SCE would be required to post $12 million of additional collateral of which $11 million is related to outstanding payables that are net of collateral already posted.

38






Fair Value of Derivative Instruments
SCE presents its derivative assets and liabilities on a net basis on its consolidated balance sheets when subject to master netting agreements or similar agreements. Derivative positions are also offset against margin and cash collateral deposits. In addition, SCE has provided collateral in the form of letters of credit. Collateral requirements can vary depending upon the level of unsecured credit extended by counterparties, changes in market prices relative to contractual commitments, and other factors. See Note 4 for a discussion of fair value of derivative instruments. The following table summarizes the gross and net fair values of SCE's commodity derivative instruments:

Income Statement Impact of Derivative Instruments
SCE recognizes realized gains and losses on derivative instruments as purchased power expense and expects that such gains or losses will be part of the purchased power costs recovered from customers. As a result, realized gains and losses do not affect earnings, but may temporarily affect cash flows. Due to expected future recovery from customers, unrealized gains and losses are recorded as regulatory assets and liabilities and therefore also do not affect earnings. The remaining effects of derivative activities and related regulatory offsets are reported in cash flows from operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Note 7.    Revenue
Revenue is recognized by Edison International and SCE when a performance obligation to transfer control of the promised goods is satisfied or when services are rendered to our customers. This typically occurs when electricity is delivered to our customers, which includes amounts for services rendered but unbilled at the end of a reporting period.
Edison International Parent and Other revenue primarily relates to Edison Energy Group, a holding company for subsidiaries engaged in pursuing competitive business opportunities across energy services and managed portfolio solutions to commercial and industrial customers. The revenue for Edison International Parent and Other is immaterial to Edison International.
CPUC and FERC rates decouple authorized revenue from the volume of electricity sales and the price of energy procured so that SCE receives revenue equal to amounts authorized by the relevant regulatory agencies. As a result, the volume of electricity sold to customers and specific customer classes does not have a direct impact on SCE's financial results. SCE's revenue is disaggregated by two revenue sources:
Earning activities – representing revenue authorized by the CPUC and FERC which is intended to provide SCE a reasonable opportunity to recover its costs and earn a return on its net investment in generation, transmission, and distribution assets. The annual revenue requirements are comprised of authorized operation and maintenance costs, depreciation, taxes, and a return consistent with the capital structure. Also, included in earnings activities are revenues or penalties related to incentive mechanisms, other operating revenue, and regulatory charges or disallowances.
Cost-recovery activities – representing CPUC- and FERC- authorized balancing accounts which allow for recovery of specific project or program costs, subject to reasonableness review or compliance with upfront standards. Cost-recovery activities include rates which provide recovery, subject to reasonableness review of, among other things, fuel costs, purchased power costs, public purpose related-program costs (including energy efficiency and demand-side management programs), and certain operation and maintenance expenses. SCE earns no return on these activities.

SCE's Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Provision of Electricity
SCE principally generates revenue from contracts with customers through supplying and delivering electricity to its customers. Rates charged to customers are based on tariff rates, approved by the CPUC and FERC. Revenue is authorized by the CPUC through triennial GRC proceedings which are intended to provide SCE a reasonable opportunity to recover its costs and earn a return on its CPUC-jurisdictional rate base. The CPUC sets an annual revenue requirement for the base year

40






and the remaining two years are set by a methodology established in the GRC proceeding. Differences between the amount collected and authorized levels are either collected from or refunded to customers, and therefore, such differences do not impact operating revenue (see alternative revenue programs below for further information). In addition to the utility earnings activity revenue described above, SCE also earns revenue to recover costs for power procurement and other activities. SCE earns no return on these activities.
Revenue is authorized by the FERC through a formula rate which is intended to provide SCE a reasonable opportunity to recover transmission capital and operating costs that are prudently incurred, including a return on its FERC-jurisdictional rate base. Under the operation of the formula rate, transmission revenue is updated to actual cost of service annually.
For SCE's electricity sales for non-residential customers, SCE satisfies the performance obligation of delivering electricity over time as the customers simultaneously receive and consume the delivered electricity. Since SCE has a right to invoice an amount that corresponds to the value of the delivered electricity mandated in the tariff rates established by the CPUC and FERC, SCE is eligible for and has elected the right-to-invoice practical expedient which allows SCE to recognize revenue for tariff sales in the amount for which SCE has a right to invoice. This is consistent with how SCE recognized revenue for tariff sales prior to the adoption of the new standard.
Energy sales for residential customers are typically on a month to month implied contract for transmission, distribution and generation services, while commercial and other non-residential customer contracts can extend up to 20 years . Revenue is recognized over time as the energy is supplied and delivered to its customers and the respective revenue is billed and paid on a monthly basis.
Sales and Use Taxes
SCE bills certain sales and use taxes levied by state or local governments to its customers. Included in these sales and use taxes are franchise fees, which SCE pays to various municipalities (based on contracts with these municipalities) in order to operate within the limits of the municipality. SCE bills these franchise fees to its customers based on a CPUC-authorized rate. These franchise fees, which are required to be paid regardless of SCE's ability to collect from the customer, are accounted for on a gross basis. Revenue is reflected in "Revenue from contracts with customers" in 2018 (see table above) and in "Operating revenue" in 2017 and expenses are reflected in "Operation and maintenance." SCE's franchise fees billed to customers were $28 million and $29 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 , respectively. When SCE acts as an agent for sales and use tax, the taxes are accounted for on a net basis. Amounts billed to and collected from customers for these taxes are remitted to the taxing authorities and are not recognized as electric utility revenue.
Provision of Electrical Transmissions Services and Other Revenue from Contracts with Customers
SCE also provides services to non-residential customers that include the use of SCE's owned transmission lines to transmit electricity from generation facilities to the grid and provide the use of SCE-owned facilities to connect to the grid. SCE contracts with its customers through contracts that are on a month to month basis. The contract pricing for the use of SCE's transmission lines is mandated by tariff rates approved by either the CPUC or FERC, as applicable. Revenue is recognized over time as the services are provided. The revenue is billed and paid monthly.
SCE also earns an immaterial amount of revenue through telecommunication services and the sale of excess energy to customers.
The estimated revenue expected to be recognized in the future related to SCE's performance obligations that are not completed (or partially completed) at March 31, 2018 is immaterial.
SCE's Alternative Revenue Programs
Alternative Revenue Programs Decoupling
Rates charged to customers are based on CPUC- and FERC- authorized revenue requirements as discussed above. CPUC and FERC rates decouple authorized revenue from the volume of electricity sales. Differences between amounts collected and authorized levels are either collected from or refunded to customers, and therefore, SCE earns revenue equal to amounts authorized.
The differences between amounts billed and authorized levels for both CPUC and FERC are reflected in "Alternative revenue programs and other operating revenue" in 2018 (see table above) and in "Operating revenue" in 2017.

41






Other Alternative Revenue Programs
The CPUC and FERC have authorized additional, alternative revenue programs which adjust billings for the effects of broad external factors or to compensate SCE for demand-side management initiatives and provide for incentive awards if SCE achieves certain objectives. These alternative revenue programs have been authorized to allow SCE to recover costs that SCE has been authorized to pass on to customers, including costs to purchase electricity and natural gas; and to fund public purpose, demand response, and customer energy efficiency programs. In general, revenue is recognized for these alternative revenue programs at the time the costs are incurred and, for incentive-based programs, at the time the awards are approved by the CPUC. SCE begins recognizing revenues for these programs when a program has been established by an order from either the CPUC or FERC that allows for automatic adjustment of future rates, the amount of revenue for the period is objectively determinable and probable of recovery and the revenue will be collected within 24 months following the end of the annual period.

In December 2017, Tax Reform was signed into law. This comprehensive reform of tax law reduces the federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% , effective January 1, 2018.
2 Includes state taxes for Edison International and SCE of $6 million and $1 million , respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2017 .
The CPUC requires flow-through ratemaking treatment for the current tax benefit arising from certain property-related and other temporary differences which reverse over time. Flow-through items reduce current authorized revenue requirements in SCE's rate cases and result in a regulatory asset for recovery of deferred income taxes in future periods. The difference between the authorized amounts as determined in SCE's rate cases, adjusted for balancing and memorandum account activities, and the recorded flow-through items also result in increases or decreases in regulatory assets with a corresponding impact on the effective tax rate to the extent that recorded deferred amounts are expected to be recovered in future rates. For further information, see Note 10 included in the 2017 Form 10-K.

Tax Disputes
In the first quarter of 2017, Edison International settled all open tax positions with the IRS for taxable years 2007 through 2012. Edison International has previously made cash deposits to cover the estimated tax and interest liability from this audit cycle and expects a $7 million refund of this deposited amount.
Tax years that remain open for examination by the IRS and the California Franchise Tax Board are 2014 – 2016 and 2010 – 2016, respectively. Edison International has settled all open tax position with the IRS for taxable years prior to 2013. 
Tax years 1994 – 2006 are currently in settlement negotiations with the California Franchise Tax Board. While we expect to resolve these tax years within the next twelve months, the impacts cannot be reasonably estimated until further progress has been made. Tax years 2007 – 2009 are currently under protest with the California Franchise Tax Board.
Note 9.    Compensation and Benefit Plans
Pension Plans
Edison International made contributions of $18 million during the three months ended March 31, 2018 , which includes contributions of $13 million by SCE. Edison International expects to make contributions of $48 million during the remainder of 2018 , which includes $37 million from SCE. Annual contributions made by SCE to most of SCE's pension plans are anticipated to be recovered through CPUC-approved regulatory mechanisms.

During the first quarter of 2018, Edison International and SCE adopted an accounting standard retrospectively related to the presentation of the components of net periodic benefit costs for the defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans. Prior years' consolidated income statements have been updated to reflect the retrospective application of this accounting standard. Service and non-service costs are included in "Operation and maintenance" and "Other income and expenses," respectively, on the consolidated income statement. See Note 1 for further information.
Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions ("PBOP(s)")
Edison International made contributions of $3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and expects to make contributions of $9 million during the remainder of 2018 , substantially all of which are expected to be made by SCE. Annual contributions related to SCE employees made to SCE plans are anticipated to be recovered through CPUC-approved regulatory mechanisms and are expected to be, at a minimum, equal to the total annual expense for these plans. Benefits in retirement depends on a number of factors, including the employee's years of service, age, hire date, and retirement date. Under the terms of the Edison International Health and Welfare Benefit Plan ("PBOP Plan") each participating employer (Edison International or its participating subsidiaries) is responsible for the costs and expenses of all PBOP Plan benefits with respect to its employees and former employees. A participating employer may terminate the PBOP Plan benefits with respect to its employees and former employees, as may SCE (as PBOP Plan sponsor), and, accordingly, the participants' PBOP Plan benefits are not vested benefits.

Effective January 1, 2018, SCE adopted an accounting standards update related to the classification and measurement of financial instruments in which equity investments are measured at fair value. See Note 1 for further information.
1  
Short-term investments include $37 million and $29 million of repurchase agreements payable by financial institutions which earn interest, are fully secured by U.S. Treasury securities and mature by April 2, 2018 and January 2, 2018 as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , respectively.
Trust fund earnings (based on specific identification) increase the trust fund balance and the asset retirement obligation ("ARO") regulatory liability. Unrealized holding gains, net of losses, were $1.5 billion and $1.6 billion at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , respectively, and other-than-temporary impairments of $159 million and $143 million at the respective periods.

45






Trust assets are used to pay income taxes arising from trust investing activity. Deferred tax liabilities related to net unrealized gains at March 31, 2018 were $375 million . Accordingly, the fair value of trust assets available to pay future decommissioning costs, net of deferred income taxes, totaled $4.0 billion at March 31, 2018 .
For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 , gross realized gains were $61 million and $99 million , respectively, and gross realized losses were $8 million and $16 million , respectively. Unrealized losses, net of gains, for equity securities were $63 million and unrealized gains, net of losses, for equity securities were $20 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 , respectively. Due to regulatory mechanisms, changes in assets of the trusts from income or loss items have no impact on operating revenue or earnings.
Sale of SoCore Energy
On February 28, 2018, Edison International agreed to sell SoCore Energy to a third party, subject to the completion of closing conditions, which were satisfied April 16, 2018. As a result, Edison International accounted for the assets and liabilities of SoCore Energy as held for sale as of March 31, 2018 and recognized a pre-tax loss of $66 million ( $48 million after-tax).

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, SCE recorded San Onofre revenue based on the Prior San Onofre Settlement Agreement. As a result of the Revised San Onofre Settlement Agreement, SCE recorded a regulatory liability pending the CPUC approval of the agreement. See Note 12 for additional information.

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, SCE recorded CPUC revenue based on the 2017 authorized revenue requirements adjusted for the July 2017 cost of capital decision and Tax Reform pending the outcome of the 2018 GRC. SCE recorded a regulatory liability primarily associated with these adjustments.

Represents the cumulative differences between ARO expenses and amounts collected in rates primarily for the decommissioning of SCE's nuclear generation facilities. Decommissioning costs recovered through rates are primarily placed in nuclear decommissioning trusts. This regulatory liability also represents the deferral of realized and unrealized gains and losses on the nuclear decommissioning trust investments. See Note 10 for further discussion.

Note 12.    Commitments and Contingencies
Indemnities
Edison International and SCE have various financial and performance guarantees and indemnity agreements, which are issued in the normal course of business.
Edison International and SCE have provided indemnifications through contracts entered into in the normal course of business. These are primarily indemnifications against adverse litigation outcomes in connection with underwriting agreements, and indemnities for specified environmental liabilities and income taxes with respect to assets sold. Edison International's and SCE's obligations under these agreements may or may not be limited in terms of time and/or amount, and in some instances Edison International and SCE may have recourse against third parties. Edison International and SCE have not recorded a liability related to these indemnities. The overall maximum amount of the obligations under these indemnifications cannot be reasonably estimated.
SCE has indemnified the City of Redlands, California in connection with the Mountainview power plant's California Energy Commission permit for cleanup or associated actions related to groundwater contaminated by perchlorate due to the disposal of filter cake at the City's solid waste landfill. The obligations under this agreement are not limited to a specific time period or subject to a maximum liability. SCE has not recorded a liability related to this indemnity.
Contingencies
In addition to the matters disclosed in these Notes, Edison International and SCE are involved in other legal, tax, and regulatory proceedings before various courts and governmental agencies regarding matters arising in the ordinary course of business. Edison International and SCE believe the outcome of these other proceedings will not, individually or in the aggregate, materially affect its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

48






Southern California Wildfires
In December 2017, several wind-driven wildfires (the "December 2017 Wildfires") impacted portions of SCE's service territory and caused substantial damage to both residential and business properties and service outages for SCE customers. The largest of these fires, known as the Thomas Fire, originated in Ventura County and burned acreage located in both Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties. According to the most recent California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection ("Cal Fire") incident information reports, the Thomas Fire burned over 280,000 acres, destroyed an estimated 1,063  structures, damaged an estimated 280 structures and resulted in one fatality. As of March 31, 2018 , SCE had incurred approximately $46 million of capital expenditures related to restoration of service resulting from the December 2017 Wildfires.
Determining wildfire origin and cause is often a complex and time-consuming process, and several investigations into the facts and circumstances of the Thomas Fire are believed to be ongoing. SCE has been advised that the origins and causes of the fire are being investigated by Cal Fire and the Ventura County Fire Department. In connection with its investigation of the Thomas Fire, Cal Fire has removed and retained certain of SCE's equipment that was located near suspected ignition points of the fire. SCE expects that the Ventura County Fire Department and/or Cal Fire will ultimately issue reports concerning the origins and causes of the Thomas Fire but cannot predict when these reports will be released or if any findings will be issued before the investigations are completed. The CPUC's SED is also conducting an investigation to assess the compliance of SCE and its facilities with applicable rules and regulations in areas impacted by the Thomas Fire. In addition, as it does in all wildfire matters in which its facilities may or are alleged to be involved, SCE is conducting its own investigation of the Thomas Fire. At this time, SCE cannot predict when its own investigation, or the investigations of Cal Fire, the Ventura County Fire Department or the SED, will be completed.
Any potential liability for December 2017 Wildfire-related damages will depend on a number of factors, including whether SCE substantially caused, or contributed to, the damages and whether parties seeking recovery of damages will be required to show negligence in addition to causation. Certain California courts have previously found utilities to be strictly liable for property damage, regardless of fault, by applying the theory of inverse condemnation when a utility's facilities were determined to be a substantial cause of a wildfire that caused the property damage. The rationale stated by these courts for applying this theory to investor-owned utilities is that property damages resulting from a public improvement, such as the distribution of electricity, can be spread across the larger community that benefited from such improvement. However, in November 2017, the CPUC issued a decision denying SDG&E's request to include in its rates uninsured wildfire-related costs arising from several 2007 fires, finding that SDG&E did not prudently manage and operate its facilities prior to or at the outset of the 2007 wildfires.
When inverse condemnation is held to be applicable to a utility, the utility may be held liable for property damages and associated interest and attorney's fees. If inverse condemnation is held to be inapplicable to SCE in connection with the December 2017 Wildfires, SCE could be held liable for property damages and associated interest if the property damages were found to have been proximately caused by SCE's alleged negligence. If SCE is found negligent, SCE could also be held liable for, among other things, fire suppression costs, business interruption losses, evacuation costs, medical expenses and personal injury/wrongful death claims. These potential liabilities, in the aggregate, could be substantial. Additionally, SCE could potentially be subject to fines for alleged violations of CPUC rules and laws in connection with the December 2017 Wildfires.
SCE is aware of multiple lawsuits filed related to the Thomas Fire naming SCE as a defendant. Several of the lawsuits also name Edison International as a defendant and some of the lawsuits were filed as purported class actions. The lawsuits, which have been filed in the superior courts of Ventura, Santa Barbara and Los Angeles Counties allege, among other things, negligence, inverse condemnation, trespass, private nuisance, and violations of the public utilities and health and safety codes. The Chair of the California Judicial Council has ordered that the lawsuits be coordinated in the Los Angeles Superior Court. SCE expects to be the subject of additional lawsuits related to the Thomas Fire. The litigation could take a number of years to be resolved because of the complexity of the matters and the time needed to complete the ongoing investigations.
Given the preliminary stages of the investigations and the uncertainty as to the causes of the Thomas Fire, and the extent and magnitude of potential damages, Edison International and SCE are currently unable to predict the outcome of the claims made against SCE and Edison International or reasonably estimate a range of losses that may be incurred.
SCE has approximately $1 billion of wildfire-specific insurance coverage, subject to a self-insured retention of $10 million per occurrence, for wildfire-related claims for the period ending on May 31, 2018 . SCE also has approximately $300 million of additional insurance coverage for wildfire-related occurrences for the period from December 31, 2017 to December 31, 2018 , which may be used in addition to the $1 billion in wildfire insurance for wildfire events occurring on or after December 31, 2017 and on or before May 31, 2018 , and would be available for new wildfire events, if any, occurring after

49






May 31, 2018 and on or before December 30, 2018 . Various coverage limitations within the policies that make up SCE's wildfire insurance coverage could result in material self-insured costs in the event of multiple wildfire occurrences during a policy period. Should responsibility for a significant portion of the damages related to the December 2017 Wildfires be attributed to SCE, SCE's insurance may not be sufficient to cover all such damages. In addition, SCE may not be authorized to recover its uninsured damages through electric service rates if, for example, the CPUC finds that the damages were incurred because SCE was not a prudent manager of its facilities.
Edison International and SCE are pursuing legislative, regulatory and legal strategies to address the application of a strict liability standard to wildfire-related damages without the ability to recover resulting damages in rates. Edison International and SCE cannot predict whether or when a solution mitigating the significant risk faced by a California investor-owned utility related to wildfires will be achieved.
Montecito Mudslides
In January 2018, torrential rains in Santa Barbara County produced mudslides and flooding in Montecito and surrounding areas (the "Montecito Mudslides"). According to Santa Barbara County initial reports, the Montecito Mudslides destroyed an estimated 135  structures, damaged an estimated 324 structures, and resulted in at least 21 fatalities, with two additional fatalities presumed.
Of the lawsuits mentioned above, several allege that SCE has responsibility for the Thomas Fire and that the Thomas Fire proximately caused the Montecito Mudslides, resulting in the plaintiffs' claimed damages. Some of the Montecito Mudslides lawsuits also name Edison International as a defendant. In addition to other causes of action, some of the Montecito Mudslides lawsuits also allege personal injury and wrongful death. The Chair of the California Judicial Council has ordered that the Thomas Fire and Montecito Mudslides lawsuits be coordinated in the Los Angeles Superior Court. SCE expects that additional lawsuits related to the Montecito Mudslides will be filed.
In the event that SCE is determined to have liability for damages caused by the Thomas Fire, SCE cannot predict whether the courts will conclude that the Montecito Mudslides were caused by the Thomas Fire or that SCE is liable for damages caused by the Montecito Mudslides. As a result, Edison International and SCE are currently unable to predict the outcome of the claims made against SCE and Edison International or reasonably estimate a range of losses that may be incurred. If it is determined that the Montecito Mudslides were caused by the Thomas Fire and that SCE is liable for damages caused by the Montecito Mudslides, then SCE's insurance coverage for such damages may be limited to its wildfire insurance. SCE also has other general liability insurance coverage of approximately $450 million but it is uncertain whether these other policies would apply to liabilities alleged to be related to the mudslides. Additionally, if SCE is determined to be liable for a significant portion of costs associated with the Montecito Mudslides, SCE's insurance may not be sufficient to cover all such damages. In addition, SCE may not be authorized to recover its uninsured damages through electric service rates if, for example, the CPUC finds that the damages were incurred because SCE was not a prudent manager of its facilities.
If it is ultimately determined that SCE is legally responsible for damages caused by the Montecito Mudslides and inverse condemnation is held to be applicable to SCE, SCE may be held liable for resulting property damages and associated interest and attorney's fees. If inverse condemnation is held to be inapplicable to SCE in connection with the Montecito Mudslides, SCE could be held liable for property damages and associated interest if the property damages were found to have been proximately caused by SCE’s alleged negligence. If SCE is found negligent, SCE could also be held liable for, among other things, business interruption losses, evacuation costs, clean-up costs, medical expenses and personal injury/wrongful death claims associated with the Montecito Mudslides. These potential liabilities, in the aggregate, could be substantial. SCE cannot predict whether it will be subjected to regulatory fines related to the Montecito Mudslides.
Permanent Retirement of San Onofre
Replacement steam generators were installed at San Onofre in 2010 and 2011. On January 31, 2012, a leak suddenly occurred in one of the heat transfer tubes in San Onofre's Unit 3 steam generators. The Unit was safely taken off-line and subsequent inspections revealed excessive tube wear. Unit 2 was off-line for a planned outage when areas of unexpected tube wear were also discovered. On June 6, 2013, SCE decided to permanently retire Units 2 and 3.

San Onofre CPUC Proceedings
In November 2014, the CPUC approved the San Onofre OII Settlement Agreement by and among The Utility Reform Network ("TURN"), the CPUC's Office of Ratepayers Advocates ("ORA"), San Diego Gas & Electric ("SDG&E"), the Coalition of California Utility Employees, and Friends of the Earth (the "Prior San Onofre Settlement Agreement"), which, at the time, resolved the CPUC's investigation regarding the steam generator replacement project at San Onofre and the related outages and subsequent shutdown of San Onofre. Subsequently, the San Onofre Order Instituting Investigation ("OII") proceeding record was reopened by a joint ruling of the Assigned Commissioner and the Assigned administrative law judge ("ALJ") to consider whether, in light of the Company not reporting certain ex parte communications on a timely basis, the Prior San Onofre Settlement Agreement remained reasonable, consistent with the law and in the public interest, which is the standard the CPUC applies in reviewing settlements submitted for approval.
Entry into Revised Settlement
On January 30, 2018 , SCE, SDG&E, The Alliance for Nuclear Responsibility, The California Large Energy Consumers Association, California State University, Citizens Oversight dba Coalition to Decommission San Onofre, the Coalition of California Utility Employees, the Direct Access Customer Coalition, Ruth Henricks, ORA, TURN, and Women's Energy Matters (the "OII Parties") entered into a Revised San Onofre Settlement Agreement in the San Onofre OII proceeding (the "Revised San Onofre Settlement Agreement"). If approved by the CPUC, the Revised San Onofre Settlement Agreement will resolve all issues under consideration in the San Onofre OII and will modify the Prior San Onofre Settlement Agreement. If approved by the CPUC, the Revised San Onofre Settlement Agreement will also result in the dismissal of a federal lawsuit currently pending in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals challenging the CPUC's authority to permit rate recovery of San Onofre costs. The Revised San Onofre Settlement Agreement was the result of multiple mediation sessions in 2017 and January 2018 and was signed on January 30, 2018 following a settlement conference in the OII, as required under CPUC rules.
Implementation of the terms of the Revised San Onofre Settlement Agreement is subject to the approval of the CPUC, as to which there is no assurance. The OII Parties have agreed to exercise their best efforts to obtain CPUC approval, but there can be no certainty of when or what the CPUC will actually decide.
The San Onofre OII Assigned Commissioner and Assigned ALJ have issued joint rulings that, among other things, (i) direct the parties to submit joint testimony to the CPUC in support of the Revised San Onofre Settlement Agreement on April 27, 2018; (ii) direct all parties to submit briefing on whether an attorneys' fees provision in a related settlement agreement pertaining to the dismissal of a federal lawsuit challenging the Prior San Onofre Settlement Agreement impacts the integrity of the CPUC's intervenor compensation program; and (iii) schedule a public participation hearing and a status conference. In lieu of joint testimony, with the ALJ's consent, the parties submitted a joint stipulation of facts in support of the Revised San Onofre Settlement Agreement on April 27, 2018.
Disallowances, Refunds and Recoveries
If the Revised San Onofre Settlement Agreement is approved by the CPUC, SCE and SDG&E (the "Utilities") will cease rate recovery of San Onofre costs as of the date their combined remaining San Onofre regulatory assets equal $775 million (the "Cessation Date"). SCE has previously requested the CPUC to authorize SCE to reduce the San Onofre regulatory asset by applying $72 million of proceeds received from litigation with the DOE related to DOE's failure to meet its obligation to begin accepting spent nuclear fuel from San Onofre. If that request is approved by the CPUC, the Cessation Date is estimated to be December 19, 2017. If that request is not approved by the CPUC, the Cessation Date is estimated to be April 21, 2018. The Utilities will refund to customers San Onofre-related amounts recovered in rates after the Cessation Date. SCE will retain amounts collected under the Prior San Onofre Settlement Agreement before the Cessation Date. SCE also will retain $47 million of proceeds received in 2017 from arbitration with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries ("MHI") over MHI's delivery of faulty steam generators. In the Revised San Onofre Settlement Agreement, SCE retains the right to sell its stock of nuclear fuel and not share such proceeds with customers, as was provided in the Prior San Onofre Settlement Agreement. SCE intends to sell its nuclear fuel inventory as market conditions warrant. Sales of nuclear fuel may be significant.
Under the Prior San Onofre Settlement Agreement, the Utilities agreed to fund $25 million for a Research, Development and Demonstration program that is intended to develop technologies and methodologies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions ("GHG Reduction Program"). The Utilities' funding obligation is reduced to $12.5 million under the Revised San Onofre Settlement Agreement.

51






If approved by the CPUC, the Revised San Onofre Settlement Agreement will also provide certain exclusions from the determination of SCE's ratemaking capital structure. Notwithstanding that SCE will no longer recover its San Onofre regulatory asset, the debt borrowed to finance the regulatory asset will continue to be excluded from SCE's ratemaking capital structure. Additionally, SCE may exclude the after-tax charge resulting from the implementation of the Revised San Onofre Settlement Agreement from its ratemaking capital structure.
Additional Challenges related to the Settlement of San Onofre CPUC Proceedings
A federal lawsuit challenging the CPUC's authority to permit rate recovery of San Onofre costs and an application to the CPUC for rehearing of its decision approving the Prior San Onofre Settlement Agreement were filed in November and December 2014 , respectively. In April 2015 , the federal lawsuit was dismissed with prejudice and the plaintiffs in that case appealed the dismissal to the Ninth Circuit in May 2015 . In light of the San Onofre OII meet-and-confer sessions, the Ninth Circuit cancelled the hearing that had been scheduled for February 9, 2017 and ordered the parties to notify the Ninth Circuit of the status of the San Onofre OII by May 1, 2017 and periodically thereafter. In October 2017 , the Ninth Circuit scheduled a hearing for February 13, 2018 and directed the parties to file a status report on January 30, 2018 . As part of the Revised San Onofre Settlement Agreement, subject to CPUC approval of the Revised San Onofre Settlement Agreement, the plaintiffs agreed to dismiss this case with prejudice. In light of these developments, the February 13 hearing was cancelled and the Ninth Circuit appeal is currently stayed.
In July 2015 , a purported securities class action lawsuit was filed in federal court against Edison International, its then Chief Executive Officer and its then Chief Financial Officer. The complaint was later amended to include SCE's former President as a defendant. The lawsuit alleges that the defendants violated the securities laws by failing to disclose that Edison International had ex parte contacts with CPUC decision-makers regarding the San Onofre OII that were either unreported or more extensive than initially reported. The initial complaint purports to be filed on behalf of a class of persons who acquired Edison International common stock between March 21, 2014 and June 24, 2015 (the "Class Period"). In September 2016 , the federal court granted defendants' motion to dismiss the complaint, with an opportunity for plaintiff to amend the complaint. Plaintiff filed a second amended complaint in October 2016, which the federal court dismissed again with an opportunity for the plaintiff to amend the complaint. Plaintiff filed a third amended complaint in May 2017, which the federal court dismissed with prejudice in March 2018. Plaintiffs' have appealed the dismissal.
In November 2015 , a purported securities class action lawsuit was filed in federal court against Edison International, its then Chief Executive Officer and its Treasurer by an Edison International employee, alleging claims under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act. The complaint purports to be filed on behalf of a class of Edison International employees who were participants in the Edison 401(k) Savings Plan and invested in the Edison International Stock Fund between March 27, 2014 and June 24, 2015 . The complaint alleges that defendants breached their fiduciary duties because they knew or should have known that investment in the Edison International Stock Fund was imprudent because the price of Edison International common stock was artificially inflated due to Edison International's alleged failure to disclose certain ex parte communications with CPUC decision-makers related to the San Onofre OII. In July 2016 , the federal court granted the defendants' motion to dismiss the lawsuit with an opportunity for the plaintiff to amend her complaint. Plaintiff filed an amended complaint in July 2016 , that dismissed Edison International as a named defendant and the remaining defendants filed a motion to dismiss in August 2016 . These defendants' motion was heard by the court in November 2016 . In June 2017, the federal court again granted defendants' motion to dismiss the lawsuit with an opportunity for the plaintiff to amend her complaint. Plaintiff filed an amended complaint in early July 2017 . Defendants have filed motion to dismiss the amended complaint, which was heard by the court in October 2017 , and are awaiting a ruling.
Edison International and SCE cannot predict the outcome of these proceedings.
Environmental Remediation
SCE records its environmental remediation liabilities when site assessments and/or remedial actions are probable and a range of reasonably likely cleanup costs can be estimated. SCE reviews its sites and measures the liability quarterly, by assessing a range of reasonably likely costs for each identified site using currently available information, including existing technology, presently enacted laws and regulations, experience gained at similar sites, and the probable level of involvement and financial condition of other potentially responsible parties. These estimates include costs for site investigations, remediation, operation and maintenance, monitoring, and site closure. Unless there is a single probable amount, SCE records the lower end of this reasonably likely range of costs (reflected in "Other long-term liabilities") at undiscounted amounts as timing of cash flows is uncertain.

52






At March 31, 2018 , SCE's recorded estimated minimum liability to remediate its 20 identified material sites (sites with a liability balance at March 31, 2018 , in which the upper end of the range of the costs is at least $1 million ) was $142 million , including $92 million related to San Onofre. In addition to these sites, SCE also has 16 immaterial sites with a liability balance as of March 31, 2018 , for which the total minimum recorded liability was $4 million . Of the $146 million total environmental remediation liability for SCE, $140 million has been recorded as a regulatory asset. SCE expects to recover $47 million through an incentive mechanism that allows SCE to recover 90% of its environmental remediation costs at certain sites (SCE may request to include additional sites) and $93 million through a mechanism that allows SCE to recover 100% of the costs incurred at certain sites through customer rates. SCE's identified sites include several sites for which there is a lack of currently available information, including the nature and magnitude of contamination, and the extent, if any, that SCE may be held responsible for contributing to any costs incurred for remediating these sites. Thus, no reasonable estimate of cleanup costs can be made for these sites.
The ultimate costs to clean up SCE's identified sites may vary from its recorded liability due to numerous uncertainties inherent in the estimation process, such as: the extent and nature of contamination; the scarcity of reliable data for identified sites; the varying costs of alternative cleanup methods; developments resulting from investigatory studies; the possibility of identifying additional sites; and the time periods over which site remediation is expected to occur. SCE believes that, due to these uncertainties, it is reasonably possible that cleanup costs at the identified material sites and immaterial sites could exceed its recorded liability by up to $131 million and $8 million , respectively. The upper limit of this range of costs was estimated using assumptions least favorable to SCE among a range of reasonably possible outcomes.
SCE expects to clean up and mitigate its identified sites over a period of up to 30 years. Remediation costs for each of the next five years are expected to range from $4 million to $18 million . Costs incurred for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 were $4 million and $2 million , respectively.
Based upon the CPUC's regulatory treatment of environmental remediation costs incurred at SCE, SCE believes that costs ultimately recorded will not materially affect its results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. There can be no assurance, however, that future developments, including additional information about existing sites or the identification of new sites, will not require material revisions to estimates.
Nuclear Insurance
SCE is a member of NEIL, a mutual insurance company owned by entities with nuclear facilities. NEIL provides insurance for nuclear property damage, including damages caused by acts of terrorism up to specified limits, and for accidental outages for active facilities. The amount of nuclear property damage insurance purchased for San Onofre and Palo Verde exceeds the minimum federal requirement of $50 million and $1.06 billion , respectively. If NEIL losses at any nuclear facility covered by the arrangement were to exceed the accumulated funds for these insurance programs, SCE could be assessed retrospective premium adjustments of up to approximately $52 million per year.
Federal law limits public offsite liability claims for bodily injury and property damage from a nuclear incident to the amount of available financial protection, which is currently approximately $13.1 billion for Palo Verde and $560 million for San Onofre. SCE and other owners of San Onofre and Palo Verde have purchased the maximum private primary insurance available through a Facility Form issued by American Nuclear Insurers ("ANI"). SCE withdrew from participation in the secondary insurance pool for San Onofre for offsite liability insurance effective January 5, 2018. Based on its ownership interests in Palo Verde, SCE could be required to pay a maximum of approximately $60 million per nuclear incident for future incidents. However, it would have to pay no more than approximately $9 million per future incident in any one year. SCE could be required to pay a maximum of approximately $255 million per nuclear incident and a maximum of $38 million per year per incident for liabilities arising from events prior to January 5, 2018, although SCE is not aware of any such events.
For more information on nuclear insurance coverage, see Note 11 in the 2017 Form 10-K.
Spent Nuclear Fuel
Under federal law, the DOE is responsible for the selection and construction of a facility for the permanent disposal of spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste. The DOE has not met its contractual obligation to accept spent nuclear fuel. Extended delays by the DOE have led to the construction of costly alternatives and associated siting and environmental issues. Currently, both San Onofre and Palo Verde have interim storage for spent nuclear fuel on site sufficient for their current license period.
In June 2010, the United States Court of Federal Claims issued a decision granting SCE and the San Onofre co-owners damages of approximately $142 million (SCE share $112 million ) to recover costs incurred through December 31, 2005 for

53






the DOE's failure to meet its obligation to begin accepting spent nuclear fuel from San Onofre. SCE received payment from the federal government in the amount of the damage award. In April 2016, SCE, as operating agent, settled a lawsuit on behalf of the San Onofre owners against the DOE for $162 million , including reimbursement for legal costs (SCE share $124 million ) to compensate for damages caused by the DOE's failure to meet its obligation to begin accepting spent nuclear fuel for the period from January 1, 2006 to December 31, 2013. The settlement also provides for a claim submission/audit process for expenses incurred from 2014 – 2016, where SCE may submit a claim for damages caused by the DOE failure to accept spent nuclear fuel each year, followed by a government audit and payment of the claim. This process will make additional legal action to recover damages incurred in 2014 – 2016 unnecessary. The first such claim covering damages for 2014 – 2015 was filed on September 30, 2016 for approximately $56 million . In February 2017, the DOE reviewed the 2014 – 2015 claim submission and reduced the original request to approximately $ 43 million (SCE share was approximately $34 million ). SCE accepted the DOE's determination, and the government paid the 2014 – 2015 claim under the terms of the settlement. In October 2017, SCE filed a claim covering damages for 2016 for approximately $58 million . In March 2018, the DOE completed its review of SCE’s 2016 claim submission and determined that SCE should be reimbursed approximately $44 million , not allowing recovery of approximately $14 million . In April 2018, SCE submitted a request for reconsideration of the DOE's March 2018 determination, requesting that the DOE allow recovery of an additional $1.2 million . All damages recovered by SCE are subject to CPUC review as to how these amounts would be distributed among customers, shareholders, or to offset fuel decommissioning or storage costs.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The management of Edison International and SCE, under the supervision and with the participation of Edison International's and SCE's respective Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officers, have evaluated the effectiveness of Edison International's and SCE's disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), respectively, as of the end of the first quarter of 2018. Based on that evaluation, Edison International's and SCE's respective Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officers have each concluded that, as of the end of the period, Edison International's and SCE's disclosure controls and procedures, respectively, were effective.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in Edison International's or SCE's internal control over financial reporting, respectively, during the first quarter of 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Edison International's or SCE's internal control over financial reporting.
Jointly Owned Utility Plant
Edison International's and SCE's respective scope of evaluation of internal control over financial reporting includes their Jointly Owned Utility Projects as discussed in Note 2. Property, Plant and Equipment in the 2017 Form 10-K.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
December 2017 Wildfires Litigation
The December 2017 Wildfires impacted portions of SCE's service territory and caused substantial damage to both residential and business properties and service outages for SCE customers. The largest of these fires, known as the Thomas Fire, originated in Ventura County and burned acreage located in both Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties. According to the most recent Cal Fire incident information reports, the Thomas Fire burned over 280,000 acres, destroyed an estimated 1,063 structures, damaged an estimated 280 structures and resulted in one fatality.
As of April 27, 2018, SCE was aware of at least 52 lawsuits related to the Thomas Fire naming SCE as a defendant. Seventeen of these lawsuits also name Edison International as a defendant and at least four of the lawsuits were filed as purported class actions. The lawsuits, which have been filed in the superior courts of Ventura, Santa Barbara and Los Angeles Counties allege, among other things, negligence, inverse condemnation, trespass, private nuisance, and violations of the public utilities and health and safety codes. The Chair of the California Judicial Council has ordered that the lawsuits be coordinated in the Los Angeles Superior Court.
Montecito Mudslides Litigation
In January 2018, torrential rains in Santa Barbara County produced mudslides and flooding in Montecito and surrounding areas. According to Santa Barbara County initial reports, the Montecito Mudslides destroyed an estimated 135 structures, damaged an estimated 324 structures, and resulted in at least 21 fatalities, with two additional fatalities presumed.
Twenty-nine of the 52 lawsuits mentioned under "December 2017 Wildfires Litigation" above allege that SCE has responsibility for the Thomas Fire and that the Thomas Fire proximately caused the Montecito Mudslides, resulting in the plaintiffs’ claimed damages. Eleven of the Montecito Mudslides lawsuits also name Edison International as a defendant. In addition to other causes of action, some of the Montecito Mudslides lawsuits also allege personal injury and wrongful death. The Chair of the California Judicial Council has ordered that the Thomas Fire and Montecito Mudslides lawsuits be coordinated in the Los Angeles Superior Court.

EDISON INTERNATIONAL
2018 Long-Term Incentives
Terms and Conditions
1.
LONG-TERM INCENTIVES
The long-term incentive awards granted in 2018 (“ LTI ”) for eligible persons (each, a “ Holder ”) employed by Edison International (“ EIX ”) or its participating affiliates include the following:
Nonqualified stock options to purchase shares of EIX Common Stock (“ EIX Options ”) as described in Section 3;
Contingent EIX performance units (“ Performance Shares ”) as described in Section 4; and
Restricted EIX stock units (“ Restricted Stock Units ”) as described in Section 5.
Each of the LTI awards will be granted under the 2007 Performance Incentive Plan (the “ Plan ”) and will be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 7.1 of the Plan.
The LTI shall be subject to these 2018 Long-Term Incentives Terms and Conditions (these “ Terms ”). The LTI shall be administered by the Compensation and Executive Personnel Committee of the EIX Board of Directors (the “ Committee ”). The Committee shall have the administrative powers with respect to the LTI set forth in Section 3.2 of the Plan.
In the event EIX grants LTI to a Holder, the number of EIX Options, Performance Shares and Restricted Stock Units granted to the Holder will be set forth in a written award certificate delivered by EIX to the Holder.
2.
VESTING OF LTI
Subject to Sections 8 and 9 the following vesting and payment rules shall apply to the LTI:
2.1
EIX Options . The EIX Options will vest over a four-year period as described in this Section 2 (the “ Vesting Period ”). The effective “ initial vesting date ” will be January 2, 2019, or six months after the date of the grant, whichever date is later. The EIX Options will vest as follows:
On the initial vesting date, one-fourth of the award will vest.
On January 2, 2020, an additional one-fourth of the award will vest.
On January 4, 2021, an additional one-fourth of the award will vest.
On January 3, 2022, the balance of the award will vest.
2.2
Performance Shares . The Performance Shares will vest and become payable to the extent earned as determined at the end of the three-calendar-year period commencing on January 1, 2018, and ending December 31, 2020 (the “ Performance Period ”), subject to the provisions of Section 4.
2.3
Restricted Stock Units . The Restricted Stock Units will vest and become payable on January 4, 2021.
2.4
Continuance of Employment/Service Required . The vesting schedule requires continued employment or service through each applicable vesting date as a condition for the vesting of the applicable installment of the LTI and the rights and benefits thereunder. Employment or service for only a portion of the vesting period, even if a substantial portion, will not entitle the Holder to any proportionate vesting or avoid or mitigate a termination of rights and benefits upon or following a termination of employment or services except as provided in Sections 8 and 9 below.

3.
EIX OPTIONS
3.1
Exercise Price . The exercise price of an EIX Option stated in the award certificate is the closing price (in regular trading) of a share of EIX Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange for the effective date of the grant.
3.2
Cumulative Exercisability; Term of Option . The vested portions of the EIX Options will accumulate to the extent not exercised, and be exercisable by the Holder subject to the provisions of this Section 3 and Sections 8 and 9, in whole or in part, in any subsequent period but not later than January 3, 2028.
3.3
Method of Exercise . The Holder may exercise an EIX Option by providing written notice to EIX on the form prescribed by the Committee for this purpose, or completion of such other EIX Option exercise procedures as EIX may prescribe, accompanied by full payment of the applicable exercise price. Payment must be in cash or its equivalent acceptable to EIX. At the discretion of the Holder, EIX Common Stock valued on the exercise date at a per-share price equal to the closing price of EIX Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange may be used to pay the exercise price, provided the Company can comply with any legal requirements. (“Companies” or “Company” means EIX and its affiliates, or any of them, as the context may require.) A broker-assisted “cashless” exercise may be accommodated for EIX Options at the discretion of EIX. Until payment is accepted, the Holder will have no rights in the optioned stock. The provisions of Section 10 must be satisfied as a condition precedent to the effectiveness of any purported exercise.
3.4
Automatic Exercise . Except as may otherwise be determined by the Committee in advance of the applicable exercise date and subject to the conditions below, the Holder’s then-outstanding vested EIX Options shall automatically be exercised by EIX on behalf of the Holder on the last day of the term of such options (including any shortened term as a result of a termination of employment or in connection with a Change in Control of EIX as provided in Articles 8 and 9), to the extent such options are not otherwise exercised on or before that date. In connection with any automatic exercise of outstanding vested EIX Options, EIX shall satisfy the exercise price of the EIX Options and the applicable withholding obligation by withholding that number of EIX shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable pursuant to the options having a value (based on the closing price of EIX Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the exercise date, or if no sales of EIX Common Stock were reported on the New York Stock Exchange on that date, the closing price of EIX Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the next preceding day on which sales of EIX Common Stock were reported) equal to the exercise price of the EIX Options and the applicable withholding obligation. Outstanding vested EIX Options shall only be automatically exercised by EIX on behalf of the Holder if (i) the EIX Options have an exercise price that is lower than the price of a share of EIX Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange at the time of exercise so that the options are “in-the-money,” and (ii) the exercise by EIX complies with all legal requirements applicable to EIX.
4.
PERFORMANCE SHARES
4.1
Performance Shares . Performance Shares are EIX Common Stock-based units subject to a performance vesting requirement. A target number of contingent Performance Shares will be awarded on the initial grant date. Fifty percent (50%) of the grant date value (based on EIX’s valuation methodology for the award) of the contingent Performance Shares will be a target number of contingent Performance Shares subject to a performance measure based on the percentile ranking of EIX total shareholder return (“ TSR ”) among the TSRs for the stocks comprising the Comparison Group (as defined below) over the entire Performance Period (these contingent Performance Shares are referred to as the “ TSR Performance Shares ”). The other fifty percent (50%) of the grant date value (based on EIX’s valuation methodology for the award) of the contingent Performance Shares will be a target number of contingent Performance Shares subject to a performance measure based on EIX’s average core earnings per share (“ EPS ”) over the entire Performance Period (these contingent Performance Shares are referred to as the “ EPS Performance Shares ”). The TSR Performance Shares and EPS Performance Shares will be increased by any additional Performance Shares created by “reinvestment” of dividend equivalents as provided in Section 4.5.

2




4.2
TSR Performance Shares . The actual amount of TSR Performance Shares to be paid will depend on EIX’s TSR percentile ranking on the Performance Measurement Date (as defined herein). If EIX’s TSR is below the 25 th percentile, no TSR Performance Shares will be paid. Twenty-five percent (25%) of the target number of TSR Performance Shares will be paid if EIX’s TSR percentile ranking is at the 25 th percentile. The target number of TSR Performance Shares will be paid if EIX’s TSR rank is at the 50 th percentile. Two times the target number of TSR Performance Shares will be paid if EIX’s TSR percentile ranking is at the 75th percentile or higher. The payment multiple is interpolated for performance between the points indicated in the preceding three sentences on a straight-line basis with discrete intervals at every 5 th percentile.
TSR is calculated using (i) the average of the closing stock prices for the relevant stocks for the 20-trading-day period ending with the last day on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading preceding the first day of the Performance Period, and (ii) the average of the closing stock prices for the relevant stocks for the 20-trading-day period ending with the Performance Measurement Date. In making such determination, stock prices will be equitably and proportionately adjusted to the extent (if any) necessary to preserve the intended incentives of the awards and mitigate the impact of any stock split, stock dividend or reverse stock split occurring during the applicable period. The “ Comparison Group ” consists of the stocks comprising the Philadelphia Utility Index as the index is constituted on the Performance Measurement Date. If the Comparison Group consists of fewer than 20 stocks on the Performance Measurement Date, the stock with the median TSR for the entire Performance Period (or, if there are an even number of stocks in the Comparison Group before giving effect to this sentence, a stock deemed to have a TSR equal to the average TSR of the two stocks in the Comparison Group that fall in the middle of such group when ranked based on TSR for the entire Performance Period) shall be added back to the Comparison Group a sufficient number of times to bring the stocks comprising the Comparison Group to 20. (For purposes of clarity, if there are only 17 stocks in the Comparison Group before giving effect to the preceding sentence, the stock with the median TSR for the entire Performance Period will be added back to the Comparison Group a total of three times to bring the stocks comprising the Comparison Group to 20.) Dividends with ex-dividend dates falling inside the Performance Period will be included in the TSR calculations using the assumption that reinvestment occurs on the ex-dividend date.
The Performance Measurement Date for the TSR Performance Shares will be the last day of the Performance Period on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading. As of that date, the applicable payment multiple will be determined as provided above in this Section 4.2 based on the EIX TSR percentile ranking achieved during the Performance Period.
4.3
EPS Performance Shares . The Committee shall establish an EIX EPS target for each of calendar 2018, 2019, and 2020, which are the three calendar years comprising the Performance Period. The Committee shall establish the EIX EPS target for each calendar year no later than during the first 90 days of the applicable calendar year.
The actual amount of EPS Performance Shares to be paid will depend on EIX’s actual EPS performance achieved as a percentage of the EIX EPS target established for the calendar year. If EIX’s actual EPS for any calendar year is less than eighty percent (80%) of the EIX EPS target amount for the year, the EPS performance multiple for the calendar year will be zero (0). If EIX’s actual EPS for any calendar year is equal to eighty percent (80%) of the EIX EPS target amount for the year, the EPS performance multiple for the calendar year will be 0.25x. If EIX’s actual EPS for any calendar year is equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the EIX EPS target amount for the year, the EPS performance multiple for the calendar year will be 1.0x. If EIX’s actual EPS for any calendar year is equal to or greater than one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the EIX EPS target amount for the year, the EPS performance multiple for the calendar year will be 2.0x. Each year’s EPS performance multiple is interpolated for performance between the points indicated in the preceding three sentences on a straight-line basis with discrete intervals at every 4 th percentage point, however, the performance multiple will be equal to the lowest multiple within each interval.
Following the end of the Performance Period, the EPS performance multiples achieved for each of calendar 2018, 2019, and 2020 will be averaged (determined by including zero (0) for any year in which the EPS achieved was less than eighty percent (80%) of the applicable target for that year), and the resulting average

3




EPS performance multiple achieved for the Performance Period is referred to as the “ Performance Period EPS Multiple .” The actual amount of EPS Performance Shares to be paid will be determined by multiplying the Performance Period EPS Multiple times the target number of EPS Performance Shares.
EPS is defined as “Core” earnings per share, a non-GAAP financial measure derived from basic GAAP earnings per share by excluding income or loss from discontinued operations and income or loss from significant discrete items that are not representative of ongoing earnings. The Committee shall make Adjustments (as defined below) to the EPS target levels established and/or the level of EPS otherwise obtained for purposes of the EPS Performance Shares to the extent (if any) it determines that such Adjustment is necessary to preserve the incentives and benefits intended at the time the Committee established the applicable EPS target level for the applicable calendar year.  “Adjustments” means: (1) excluding the impact of a change in tax rates and other aspects of comprehensive changes to tax laws or regulations; (2) excluding the dilutive effects of acquisitions or joint ventures; (3) assuming that any business divested by EIX or its subsidiaries achieved performance objectives at targeted levels during the balance of the performance period following such divestiture; (4) excluding the effect of any event or transaction referenced in Section 7.1 of the Plan; (5) excluding costs incurred in connection with potential acquisitions or divestitures that are required to be expensed under GAAP; (6) excluding the effect of current-year costs recovered through litigation, arbitration, or mediation; (7) excluding the effects of changes to GAAP and changes in our accounting practices with respect to non-GAAP items; (8) mitigation of the unbudgeted impact of unusual or nonrecurring gains or losses, or other extraordinary events not foreseen at the time the Committee established the applicable EPS target level; and (9) any other Adjustments set forth in the applicable Committee resolutions establishing the applicable EPS target level for the applicable calendar year. “GAAP” means generally accepted accounting principles.
4.4
Payment of Performance Shares . The total number of Performance Shares that are earned pursuant to Sections 4.2 and 4.3 will be determined by the Committee. The total number of Performance Shares that are earned pursuant to Sections 4.2 and 4.3, and taking dividend equivalents into account pursuant to Section 4.5, will be paid in cash. The value of each whole Performance Share paid in cash will be equal to the closing price per share of EIX Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange for the date of the Committee’s determination of the number of Performance Shares that are earned pursuant to Section 4.2 and 4.3, and the value of any fractional Performance Share paid in cash will also be determined based on that price. The cash payable for the earned Performance Shares will be delivered as soon as practicable for EIX following such determination by the Committee, and in all events no later than March 15, 2021. The Performance Shares are subject to termination and other conditions specified in Sections 8 and 9, and to the provisions of Section 10.
4.5
Dividend Equivalent Reinvestment . For each dividend on EIX Common Stock for which the ex-dividend date falls within the Performance Period and after the date of grant of the Performance Shares, the Holder of the Performance Shares will be credited with an additional number of target Performance Shares. The additional number of shares added on each ex-dividend date will be equal to (i) the per-share cash dividend paid by EIX on its Common Stock with respect to the related ex-dividend date, multiplied by (ii) the Holder’s number of target Performance Shares (including any additional target Performance Shares previously credited under this Section 4.5), divided by (iii) the closing price of a share of EIX Common Stock on the related ex-dividend date, with the result rounded to six decimal places. Any target Performance Shares added pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.5 will be subject to the same vesting, payment, termination and other terms, conditions and restrictions as the original target Performance Shares to which they relate (including, as applicable, application of the TSR payment multiple as contemplated by Section 4.2 or the EPS performance payment multiple as contemplated by Section 4.3). No target Performance Shares will be added pursuant to this Section 4.5 with respect to any target Performance Shares which, as of the related ex-dividend date, have either become payable pursuant to Section 4.4 or terminated pursuant to Section 8.
5.
RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS
5.1
Restricted Stock Units . Restricted Stock Units are EIX Common Stock-based units that vest based on the passage of time. As soon as practicable for EIX following January 4, 2021 (and in all events within 90 days after such date), EIX will pay Restricted Stock Units that have vested, except that if the Restricted Stock Units

4




vest pursuant to Section 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, 8.5 or 9, the Restricted Stock Units will become payable as provided in the applicable section below and as follows. Whole Restricted Stock Units that have vested will be paid on a one-for-one basis in EIX Common Stock under the Plan. Any fractional Restricted Stock Unit will be paid in cash based on the closing price per share of EIX Common Stock on January 4, 2021 or, as to any fractional Restricted Stock Units that have vested pursuant to Section 8.3, 8.4, 8.5 or 9 (including any payment made pursuant to Section 14.7, but excluding any payment where the time for payment is determined by reference to Section 8.2(C)), the closing price per share of EIX Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange for the business day immediately preceding the day of payment. The Restricted Stock Units are subject to termination and other conditions specified in Sections 8 and 9, and to the provisions of Section 10.
5.2
Dividend Equivalent Reinvestment . For each dividend declared on EIX Common Stock with an ex-dividend date on or after the date an award of Restricted Stock Units is granted and before all of such Restricted Stock Units either have been paid (or converted into a cash amount, as the case may be) pursuant to Section 5.1 (including any payment made pursuant to Section 14.7) or have terminated pursuant to Section 8 or 9, the Holder of such award will be credited with an additional number of Restricted Stock Units equal to (i) the per-share cash dividend paid by EIX on its Common Stock with respect to the related ex-dividend date, multiplied by (ii) the total number of outstanding and unpaid Restricted Stock Units (including any Restricted Stock Units previously credited under this Section 5.2) subject to such award as of such ex-dividend date, divided by (iii) the closing price of a share of EIX Common Stock on the related ex-dividend date, with the result rounded to six decimal places. Any additional Restricted Stock Units credited pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.2 will be subject to the same vesting, payment, termination and other terms, conditions and restrictions as the original Restricted Stock Units to which they relate; provided, however, that the Committee shall retain discretion to pay any Restricted Stock Units in cash rather than shares of EIX Common Stock if and to the extent that payment in shares would exceed the applicable share limits of the Plan. No crediting of Restricted Stock Units will be made pursuant to this Section 5.2 with respect to any Restricted Stock Units which, as of the related ex-dividend date, have either been paid pursuant to Section 5.1 or terminated pursuant to Section 8 or 9.
6.
DELAYED PAYMENT OR DELIVERY OF LTI GAINS
Notwithstanding any other provision herein, Holders who are eligible to defer salary under the EIX 2008 Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (the “ EDCP ”) may irrevocably elect to defer receipt of all or a part of the cash payable in respect of their earned Performance Shares pursuant to the terms of the EDCP. To make such an election, the Holder must submit a signed agreement in the form approved by, and in advance of the applicable deadline established by, the Committee. In the event of any timely deferral election, the LTI with respect to which the deferral election was made shall be paid in accordance with the terms of the EDCP.
7.
TRANSFER AND BENEFICIARY
7.1
Limitations on Transfers . Except as provided below and in Section 10, the LTI will not be transferable by the Holder and, during the lifetime of the Holder, the LTI will be exercisable only by him or her. The Holder may designate a beneficiary who, upon the death of the Holder, will be entitled to exercise the then vested portion of the LTI during the remaining term subject to the provisions of the Plan and these Terms.
7.2
Exceptions . Notwithstanding the foregoing, the LTI of the most senior officer of EIX, the most senior officer of Southern California Edison Company (“SCE”), the General Counsel of EIX, and the Chief Financial Officer of EIX, are transferable to a spouse, children or grandchildren, or trusts or other vehicles established exclusively for their benefit. Any transfer request must specifically be authorized by EIX in writing and shall be subject to any conditions, restrictions or requirements as the Committee may determine. Restricted Stock Units may not, however, be transferred to the extent the transfer would violate (and result in any tax, penalty or interest under) Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “ Code ”).
8.
TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT
8.1
General . In the event of termination of the employment of the Holder for any reason other than those specified in Sections 8.2, 8.3, 8.4 or 9, the LTI will terminate as follows: (i) the Holder’s unvested EIX Options will

5




terminate for no value as of the date such employment terminates, (ii) the Holder’s vested EIX Options will terminate for no value 180 days from the date on which such employment terminated (or, if earlier, on the last day of the applicable EIX Option term) to the extent not theretofore exercised, (iii) the Holder’s unearned Performance Shares will terminate for no value as of the date such employment terminates, and (iv) the Holder’s unvested Restricted Stock Units will terminate for no value as of the date such employment terminates. Any fractional vested EIX Options will be rounded up to the next whole share.
8.2
Retirement . If the Holder terminates employment on or after the first day of the month in which he or she (i) attains age 65 or (ii) attains age 61 with five “years of service,” as that term is defined in the Edison 401(k) Savings Plan (a “ Retirement ”), then the vesting and exercise or payment provisions of this Section 8.2 will apply.
(A)
EIX Options . The EIX Options will remain outstanding and eligible to vest; provided, however, that in the event the Holder’s Retirement occurs within calendar 2018, the portion of the option that remains outstanding and eligible to vest following the Holder’s Retirement will be prorated by multiplying the total number of shares subject to the option by a fraction (not greater than 1), the numerator of which shall be the number of whole months in calendar 2018 that the Holder was employed by one or more of the Companies, and the denominator of which shall be twelve (12). In no event shall the Holder be credited with services performed during any portion of a calendar month (even if a substantial portion) if the Holder is not employed by one or more of the Companies as of the last day of such calendar month. The portion of the option not eligible to vest following the Holder’s Retirement after giving effect to the proration described in the preceding two sentences shall terminate as of the Holder’s Retirement, and the Holder shall have no further rights with respect to such terminated portion. Any fractional EIX Options eligible to vest under this Section 8.2 will be rounded up to the next whole number. EIX Options that remain outstanding and eligible to vest following Retirement will vest and become exercisable on the schedule under which they would have been vested had the Holder not retired (one-fourth of the option grant on the effective initial vesting date (January 2, 2019 or six months after the date of grant, whichever is later) and an additional one-fourth on each of January 2, 2020, January 4, 2021 and January 3, 2022), except that if the Holder dies, the then-outstanding portion of the option will immediately vest and become exercisable as of the date of the Holder’s death. In the event prorated vesting is required in connection with the Holder’s Retirement, the portion of the option that remains outstanding and eligible to vest will vest and become exercisable first on the effective initial vesting date (up to the maximum number of shares that would have vested and become exercisable on that date had no termination of employment occurred) and so on until the portion of the option that remains outstanding and eligible to vest becomes vested and exercisable, except that if the Holder dies, the then-outstanding portion of the option will immediately vest and become exercisable as of the date of the Holder’s death. Once exercisable, EIX Options will remain exercisable as provided in Section 3 for the remainder of the original EIX Option term.
(B)
Performance Shares . The Performance Shares will vest and become payable at the end of the Performance Period to the extent they would have vested and become payable if the Holder’s employment had continued through the last day of the Performance Period; provided, however, that if the Holder’s Retirement occurs within calendar 2018, the number of each of the TSR Performance Shares and EPS Performance Shares that remain outstanding and eligible to vest following the Holder’s Retirement will be prorated by multiplying the number of TSR Performance Shares or EPS Performance Shares, respectively, subject to the award by a fraction (not greater than 1), the numerator of which shall be the number of whole months in calendar 2018 that the Holder was employed by one or more of the Companies, and the denominator of which shall be twelve (12). For this purpose, the number of “whole months” shall be calculated as provided in Section 8.2(A) above. Performance Shares will be payable to the Holder on the payment date specified in Section 4.4 to the extent, as applicable, of the EIX TSR ranking achieved as specified in Section 4.2 or the Performance Period EPS Multiple achieved as specified in Section 4.3. Any unvested Performance Shares (after application of the foregoing vesting provisions) will terminate for no value.
(C)
Restricted Stock Units . The Restricted Stock Units will remain outstanding and eligible to vest following the Holder’s Retirement and will vest and be payable on or as soon as practicable for EIX following

6




January 4, 2021 (and in all events within 90 days after such date); provided, however, that in the event the Holder’s termination of employment occurs within calendar 2018, the number of Restricted Stock Units that remain outstanding and eligible to vest following the Holder’s Retirement will be prorated by multiplying the total number of Restricted Stock Units subject to the award by a fraction (not greater than 1), the numerator of which shall be the number of whole months in calendar 2018 that the Holder was employed by one or more of the Companies, and the denominator of which shall be twelve (12). For this purpose, the number of “whole months” shall be calculated as provided in Section 8.2(A) above. Any Restricted Stock Units not eligible to vest following the Holder’s Retirement (after application of the foregoing vesting provisions) will terminate for no value. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, if the Holder dies after Retirement and prior to the date the then outstanding Restricted Stock Units are paid, the then outstanding Restricted Stock Units will vest and be paid as soon as practicable for EIX (and in all events within 90 days) following the date of the Holder’s death.
8.3
Death or Disability . If, prior to the Holder’s termination of employment with a Company, the Holder dies or incurs a “disability” (as such term is defined for purposes of Section 409A of the Code), the provisions of this Section 8.3 will apply.
(A)
EIX Options . Any unvested EIX Options will immediately vest. The EIX Options will be exercisable immediately as of the date of such termination and will remain exercisable as provided in Section 3 for the remainder of the original EIX Option term.
(B)
Performance Shares . The Performance Shares will vest and become payable at the end of the Performance Period as provided in Section 4.4 to the extent they would have vested and become payable if the Holder’s employment had continued through the last day of the Performance Period.
(C)
Restricted Stock Units . Any unvested Restricted Stock Units will immediately vest and become payable as soon as practicable for EIX (and in all events within 90 days) after the date of the Holder’s death or disability, as applicable.
8.4
Involuntary Termination Not for Cause . Except as may otherwise be provided in Section 9, upon involuntary termination of the Holder’s employment by his or her employer not for cause (and other than due to the Holder’s death or disability), the provisions of this Section 8.4 shall apply.
(A)
EIX Options . Unvested EIX Options will vest to the extent necessary to cause the aggregate number of shares subject to vested EIX Options (including any shares acquired pursuant to previously exercised EIX Options) to equal the number of shares granted multiplied by a fraction (not greater than 1), the numerator of which is the number of whole months in the period from January 1 of the year of grant of the award through the one-year anniversary of the Holder’s last day of employment prior to termination of the Holder’s employment, and the denominator of which is forty-eight (48). For purposes of determining such fraction, no fractional month shall be taken into account. The Holder will have one year following the date of termination in which to exercise the EIX Options, or until the end of the EIX Option term, whichever occurs earlier. The Holder’s vested options will terminate for no value at the end of such period to the extent not theretofore exercised. The portion of the option not eligible to vest following the termination of the Holder’s employment after giving effect to the proration described in this Section 8.4(A) shall terminate as of the termination of the Holder’s employment, and the Holder shall have no further rights with respect to such terminated portion. Any fractional EIX Options vested under this Section 8.4(A) will be rounded up to the next whole number.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding paragraph, if the Holder qualifies for Retirement (as defined in Section 8.2) at the time of the termination of the Holder’s employment, or if the Holder would have satisfied the requirements for Retirement if an extra year of service and age were applied, EIX Options will (i) vest (without any proration) and become exercisable on the schedule specified in Section 8.2 and (ii) remain exercisable for the remainder of the original EIX Option term.


7




(B)
Performance Shares . The Performance Shares will vest and become payable at the end of the Performance Period to the extent they would have vested and become payable if the Holder’s employment had continued through the last day of the Performance Period; provided, however, that the number of each of the TSR Performance Shares and EPS Performance Shares that remain outstanding and eligible to vest following termination of the Holder’s employment will be prorated by multiplying the number of TSR Performance Shares or EPS Performance Shares, respectively, subject to the award by a fraction (not greater than 1), the numerator of which shall be the number of whole months the Holder was employed by one or more of the Companies from January 1, 2018 through the one-year anniversary of the Holder’s last day of employment prior to termination of the Holder’s employment, and the denominator of which is thirty-six (36). For purposes of determining such fraction, no fractional month shall be taken into account. Such vested Performance Shares will be payable to the Holder as provided in Section 4.4 to the extent, as applicable, of the EIX TSR ranking achieved as provided in Section 4.2 or the Performance Period EPS Multiple achieved as specified in Section 4.3. Any unvested Performance Shares (after application of the foregoing vesting provisions) will terminate for no value as of the date of the Holder’s termination of employment.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding paragraph, if the Holder qualifies for Retirement (as defined in Section 8.2) at the time of the termination of the Holder’s employment, or if the Holder would have satisfied the requirements for Retirement if an extra year of service and age were applied, the Performance Shares will vest (without proration) and become payable at the end of the Performance Period as provided in Section 4.4 to the extent they would have vested and become payable if the Holder’s employment had continued through the last day of the Performance Period.

(C)
Restricted Stock Units . The Restricted Stock Units will vest to the extent necessary to cause the aggregate number of vested Restricted Stock Units to equal the number of Restricted Stock Units subject to the award multiplied by a fraction (not greater than 1), the numerator of which is the number of whole months in the period from January 1 of the year of grant of the award through the one-year anniversary of the Holder’s last day of employment prior to termination of the Holder’s employment, and the denominator of which is thirty-six (36). For purposes of determining such fraction, no fractional month shall be taken into account. Any unvested Restricted Stock Units (after application of the foregoing vesting provisions) will terminate for no value as of the date of the Holder’s termination of employment. Subject to the last paragraph of this Section 8.4(C), vested Restricted Stock Units will be paid as soon as practicable for EIX (and in all events within 90 days) following the date of the Holder’s Separation from Service, if the Separation from Service occurs prior to any other applicable payment event otherwise provided for in these Terms. For purposes of the LTI, a “ Separation from Service ” means the Holder’s “separation from service” with the Company as that term is used for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding paragraph, if the Holder qualifies for Retirement (as defined in Section 8.2) at the time of the termination of the Holder’s employment, the Restricted Stock Units will vest (without any proration) and become payable at the same time provided for in Section 8.2(C).
In addition, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two paragraphs, if the Holder does not qualify for Retirement at the time of the termination of the Holder’s employment, but the Holder would have satisfied the requirements for Retirement if an extra year of service and age had been applied at the time of termination, then the Restricted Stock Units (i) will vest (without any proration) and (ii) will, subject to the last paragraph of this Section 8.4(C), become payable as soon as practicable for EIX (and in all events within 90 days) following the date of the Holder’s Separation from Service, if the Separation from Service occurs prior to any other applicable payment event otherwise provided for in these Terms.
If either the first or third paragraphs of this Section 8.4(C) apply and the period for payment of the Restricted Stock Units spans two calendar years, and if Section 8.4(D) applies and the period for delivery of the Holder’s release of claims and any applicable revocation period also spans those two calendar years, then the payment of the applicable Restricted Stock Units will be made (subject to the satisfaction of Section 8.4(D)) within the prescribed period of time but in the second of those two calendar years.

(D)
Conditions of Benefits . Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, if at the time of the Holder’s involuntary termination the Holder is covered by a severance plan of EIX or any of its affiliates, the Holder shall be entitled to the accelerated vesting provided in this Section 8.4 only if the Holder satisfies the applicable conditions for receiving severance benefits under that plan (including, without limitation, any requirement to execute and deliver a release of claims) in connection with such involuntary termination. In the event that such conditions are not satisfied, the provisions of Section 8.1 above shall apply, and the Holder shall not be entitled to any accelerated vesting under this Section 8.4.
8.5
Effect of Change of Employer . For purposes of the LTI only, involuntary termination of employment will be deemed to occur on the date the Holder’s employing company is no longer a member of the EIX controlled group of corporations as defined in Section 1563(a) of the Code, regardless of whether the Holder’s employment continues with that entity or a successor entity outside of the EIX controlled group. A termination of employment will not be deemed to occur for purposes of the LTI if a Holder’s employment by one EIX Company terminates but immediately thereafter the Holder is employed by another EIX Company.
9.
CHANGE IN CONTROL; EARLY TERMINATION OF LTI
Notwithstanding any other provision herein, in the event of a Change in Control of EIX (as defined in Section 9.6), the provisions of this Section 9 will apply.
9.1
EIX Options . In the event the EIX Options are to terminate pursuant to Section 7.2 of the Plan in connection with a Change in Control of EIX, then upon (or, as may be necessary to effect the acceleration, immediately prior to) the Change in Control of EIX the then-outstanding and unvested EIX Options will become fully vested; provided, however, that this automatic acceleration provision will not apply with respect to any EIX Options to the extent the Committee has made a provision for the substitution, assumption, exchange or other continuation of the EIX Options. In the event of such a termination where the Committee has not provided for a cash settlement of the EIX Options as described below, the Holder of each EIX Option that is to be so terminated will be given reasonable advance notice of the impending termination and a reasonable opportunity to exercise such EIX Option in accordance with its terms before such termination (except that in no event will more than 10 days’ notice of the accelerated vesting and impending termination be required). The Committee may provide, as to each EIX Option that is to be terminated in connection with a Change in Control of EIX, to settle the EIX Option by a cash payment to the Holder of such option based upon the distribution or consideration payable to the holders of the EIX Common Stock upon or in respect of such event, such cash payment to be made as soon as practicable for EIX after the Change in Control of EIX.
9.2
Performance Shares . In the event the Performance Shares are to terminate pursuant to Section 7.2 of the Plan in connection with a Change in Control of EIX, then the Performance Period for all outstanding Performance Shares will be shortened so that the Performance Period will be deemed to have ended on the last day prior to such Change in Control of EIX, and the Performance Shares that will vest and become payable will be determined in accordance with Section 4.2 (TSR Performance Shares) or 4.3 (EPS Performance Shares) based on such shortened Performance Period (and, with respect to the EPS Performance Shares, after giving effect to a proportionate adjustment by the Committee to the EIX EPS target established for the year in which the Change in Control of EIX occurs to pro-rate such target for the portion of such year elapsed through the last day prior to such Change in Control of EIX); provided, however, that this automatic acceleration provision will not apply with respect to any Performance Shares to the extent the Committee has made a provision for the substitution, assumption, exchange or other continuation of the Performance Shares. Any Performance Shares that become subject to a shortened Performance Period pursuant to this Section 9.2 shall be paid, to the extent such Performance Shares become vested and payable after giving effect to the first sentence of this Section 9.2, to the Holder in cash as soon as practicable for EIX (and in all events within 74 days ) after the date of the Change in Control of EIX, and any such Performance Shares that do not become vested and payable shall terminate for no value as of the date of the Change in Control of EIX.
9.3
Restricted Stock Units . This Section 9.3 applies to the Restricted Stock Units notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 7.2 of the Plan. The Committee may not exercise any discretion to change the payment date(s) of the Restricted Stock Units except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 9.3 or as otherwise compliant with (so as to not result in any tax, penalty or interest under) Section 409A of the Code. The

9




Restricted Stock Units may only be terminated in connection with a Change in Control of EIX to the extent the termination satisfies the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(j)4(ix) (Plan Terminations and Liquidations). In the event the Restricted Stock Units are to terminate in connection with such an event, then upon (or, as may be necessary to effect the acceleration, immediately prior to) the Change in Control of EIX, the then-outstanding and unvested Restricted Stock Units will become fully vested. In the event the Restricted Stock Units are not to be so terminated in connection with such an event, the Committee shall make provision for the substitution, assumption, exchange or other continuation of the Restricted Stock Units in a manner that is compliant with (and does not result in any tax, penalty or interest under) Section 409A of the Code and the Restricted Stock Units shall be paid at the first applicable time otherwise provided in these Terms.
9.4
Severance Plan Benefits . If a Holder is a participant in the EIX 2008 Executive Severance Plan (or any similar successor plan) and experiences a Qualifying Termination Event as defined in the EIX 2008 Executive Severance Plan (or a similar employment termination under a successor plan) associated with a Change in Control as defined in the EIX 2008 Executive Severance Plan (or any similar successor plan), then (i) the Holder’s outstanding EIX Options will immediately vest, (ii) the Holder will have two years following the date of termination in which to exercise such EIX options if the Holder is a Senior Vice President or an officer of higher rank of EIX or SCE (three years if the Holder is the most senior officer of EIX, the most senior officer of SCE, the General Counsel of EIX, or the Chief Financial Officer of EIX), in each case subject to earlier termination at the end of the applicable option term or as provided in Section 9.1 above, (iii) any then outstanding Performance Shares shall be treated as provided for in Section 8.3(B) above, if the applicable performance period has not been shortened pursuant to Section 9.2 above, and (iv) any then outstanding Restricted Stock Units will immediately and fully vest, and will be paid as soon as practicable for EIX (and in all events within 90 days) following the date of the Holder’s Separation from Service, if vesting had not otherwise been triggered by Section 9.3 above.
9.5
Other Acceleration Rules . Any acceleration of LTI pursuant to this Section 9 will comply with applicable legal requirements and, if necessary to accomplish the purposes of the acceleration or if the circumstances require, may be deemed by the Committee to occur within a limited period of time not greater than 30 days prior to the Change in Control of EIX. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee may deem an acceleration to occur immediately prior to the applicable event and/or reinstate the original terms of a LTI if the event giving rise to acceleration does not occur.
9.6
Definition of Change in Control of EIX . A “ Change in Control of EIX ” shall be deemed to have occurred as of the first day, after the date of grant, that any one or more of the following conditions shall have been satisfied:
(A)
Any Person (other than a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of EIX) becomes the Beneficial Owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of EIX representing thirty percent (30%) or more of the combined voting power of EIX’s then outstanding securities. For purposes of this clause, “ Person ” shall mean any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act, except that such term shall not include one or more underwriters acquiring newly-issued voting securities (or securities convertible into voting securities) directly from EIX with a view towards distribution; and the term “ Beneficial Owner ” shall mean as defined under Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.
(B)
On any day after the date of grant (the “ Reference Date ”) Continuing Directors cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the EIX Board of Directors (the “ Board ”). A director is a “ Continuing Director ” if he or she either:
(i)
was a member of the Board on the applicable Initial Date (an “ Initial Director ”); or
(ii)
was elected to the Board, or was nominated for election by EIX’s shareholders, by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Initial Directors then in office.

10




A member of the Board who was not a director on the applicable Initial Date shall be deemed to be an Initial Director for purposes of clause (b) above if his or her election, or nomination for election by EIX’s shareholders, was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Initial Directors (including directors elected after the applicable Initial Date who are deemed to be Initial Directors by application of this provision) then in office. For these purposes, “ Initial Date ” means the later of (A) the date of grant or (B) the date that is two (2) years before the Reference Date.
(C)
EIX is liquidated; all or substantially all of EIX’s assets are sold in one or a series of related transactions; or EIX is merged, consolidated, or reorganized with or involving any other corporation, other than a merger, consolidation, or reorganization that results in the voting securities of EIX outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the voting securities of EIX (or such surviving entity) outstanding immediately after such merger, consolidation, or reorganization. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a bankruptcy of EIX or a sale or spin-off of an affiliate of EIX (short of a dissolution of EIX or a liquidation of substantially all of EIX’s assets, determined on an aggregate basis) will not constitute a Change in Control of EIX.
(D)
The consummation of such other transaction that the Board may, in its discretion in the circumstances, declare to be a Change in Control of EIX for purposes of the Plan.
10.
TAXES AND OTHER WITHHOLDING
Upon any exercise, vesting, payment or other taxable event with respect to any LTI, the Company shall have the right at its option to:
require the Holder (or the Holder’s personal representative or beneficiary, as the case may be) to pay or provide for payment of the amount of any taxes which the Company may be required to withhold with respect to such LTI event or payment; or
deduct from any amount otherwise payable in cash to the Holder (or the Holder’s personal representative or beneficiary, as the case may be), with respect to any LTI or otherwise, the amount of any taxes which the Company may be required to withhold.
In the case of any LTI payable in whole or part in EIX Common Stock, to the extent that the payment of that award of EIX Options or Restricted Stock Units pursuant to exercise or vesting requires tax withholding and a sufficient amount of cash (not otherwise deferred) is not generated from the underlying transaction as to that award to satisfy such withholding obligations, EIX shall substitute a cash award for a number of shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable pursuant to the award, rounded up to the next whole share for fractional shares and valued in a consistent manner at their fair market value as of the date of such exercise (in the case of EIX Options) or (in the case of Restricted Stock Units) at a fair market value based on the closing price per share of EIX Common Stock on January 2, 2020 (or, as to any Restricted Stock Units that have vested pursuant to Section 8.3, 8.4, 8.5 or 9 (including any payment made pursuant to Section 14.7, but excluding any payment where the time for payment is determined by reference to Section 8.2(C)), the closing price per share of EIX Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange for the business day immediately preceding the day of payment), as is necessary to satisfy the applicable withholding obligation in connection with such award transaction to the extent that such withholding amount exceeds the amount of cash generated from the underlying transaction and not otherwise deferred.
If for any reason EIX cannot or elects not to satisfy such withholding obligations in such manner, in each case, with the approval of the Committee as to a Section 16 Person (as defined below), or if a tax withholding obligation arises in any other circumstances, the Company shall have the right to satisfy such withholding obligations, or require the Holder to satisfy such withholding obligations, as otherwise provided above.
In the case of any LTI payable in whole or part in EIX Common Stock, to the extent that the payment of that award of EIX Options or Restricted Stock Units pursuant to exercise or vesting requires Garnishment Payments by the Company, and a sufficient amount of cash is not generated by the underlying transaction as to that award to satisfy the Garnishment Payment obligations arising from such transaction, the Company shall substitute a cash award for

11




a number of shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable pursuant to the award, rounded up to the next whole share for fractional shares and valued in a consistent manner at their fair market value as of the date of such exercise (in the case of EIX Options) or (in the case of Restricted Stock Units) at a fair market value based on the closing price per share of EIX Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange for January 2, 2020 (or, as to any Restricted Stock Units that have vested pursuant to Section 8.3, 8.4, 8.5 or 9 (including any payment made pursuant to Section 14.7, but excluding any payment where the time for payment is determined by reference to Section 8.2(C)), the closing price per share of EIX Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange for the business day immediately preceding the day of payment), equal to the amount required by any Garnishment, less any cash received and not deferred in connection with such award transaction. For this purpose, “ Garnishment ” means garnishment orders, levies, and other assessments imposed by legal authority and “ Garnishment Payments ” means payments required by the Company pursuant to any such Garnishment.
The provisions of this Section 10 regarding withholding and garnishment apply to any previously-granted and currently outstanding LTI, and such provisions control as to any inconsistency with the Terms and Conditions applicable to such previously-granted LTI regarding such subject matter; provided that the provisions of this Section 10 regarding the determination of the cash value of a share for purposes of any substitution shall not modify the existing Terms and Conditions applicable to LTI granted before 2018.
11.
CONTINUED EMPLOYMENT
Nothing in the award certificate or these Terms will be deemed to confer on the Holder any right to continue in the employ of EIX, any of its subsidiaries, or any other entity or interfere in any way with the right of any of them to terminate his or her employment at any time.
12.
INSIDER TRADING; SECTION 16
12.1
Insider Trading . Each Holder shall comply with all EIX notice, trading and other policies regarding transactions in and involving EIX securities (including, without limitation, policies prohibiting insider trading).
12.2
Section 16 . If an LTI is granted to a person who is or later becomes subject to the provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act (“ Section 16 ”) in respect of EIX (a “ Section 16 Person ”), the LTI will immediately and automatically become subject to the requirements of Rule 16b-3(d) and/or 16b-3(e) ( the “ Rule ”) and may not be exercised, transferred or (to the extent permitted by Section 409A of the Code without triggering any tax, penalty or interest thereunder) paid until the Rule has been satisfied. Approval of these Terms is intended to satisfy the Rule. However, in its sole discretion, the Committee may take any other action to assure compliance with the requirements of the Rule, including (to the extent permitted by Section 409A of the Code without triggering any tax, penalty or interest thereunder) withholding delivery to Holder (or any other person) of any security or of any other payment in any form until the requirements of the Rule have been satisfied. The Secretary of EIX may waive compliance with the requirements of the Rule if he or she determines the transaction to be exempt from the provisions of paragraph (b) of Section 16.
12.3
Notice of Disposition . The Holder agrees that if he or she should plan to dispose of any shares of stock acquired on the exercise or payment of LTI awards (including a disposition by sale, exchange, gift or transfer of legal title) and the Holder is a person who is required to preclear EIX securities transactions, the Holder will notify EIX prior to such disposition.
13.
AMENDMENT
The LTI are subject to the terms of the Plan, as it may be amended from time to time. EIX reserves the right to amend these Terms from time to time to the extent that EIX reasonably determines that the amendment is necessary or advisable to comply with applicable laws, rules or regulations or to preserve the intended tax consequences of the applicable LTI. The LTI may not otherwise be amended or terminated (by amendment to or of the Plan or otherwise) in any manner materially adverse to the rights of the Holder of the affected LTI without such Holder’s consent.

EIX means Edison International.

Eligible Employee means an Executive of an Affiliate.

Employee Disability Plan means any plan other than this Plan that provides salary-replacement benefits to employees of Affiliates for short- or long-term disability or illness.

Employer means the Affiliate employing the Eligible Employee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to a particular Eligible Employee’s benefits under the Plan, for purposes of determining

1



which Affiliate is obligated to pay such benefits, Employer as to such Eligible Employee and benefits means the Affiliate last employing the Eligible Employee.

Executive means an employee of an Affiliate who is designated an Executive by the CEO of that Affiliate or who is elected as a Vice President or officer of higher rank by the board of that Affiliate or by the Board of EIX.

Plan means the EIX 2008 Executive Disability Plan.

Salary Rate means the basic rate of pay as fixed by the Employer (excluding bonuses, special awards, commissions, severance pay, and other non-regular forms of compensation).

ARTICLE 2
BENEFITS

To the extent that a salary replacement benefit is payable from any Employee Disability Plan because of an Eligible Employee’s absence from work for one or more days because of his or her own illness or disability, the Plan will supplement the aggregate benefit payable from Employee Disability Plans and full-pay sick leave as necessary to ensure that the Eligible Employee will receive a total salary replacement benefit amount for each such day of absence from work equal to his or her full daily Salary Rate, for up to one year from the date of initial absence for any single period of Disability, as such period is defined under the applicable Employee Disability Plan. Payment will be made on regularly scheduled paydays in the same manner as benefits are paid under the applicable Employee Disability Plan. An Eligible Employee shall cease to be eligible to participate in the Plan if he or she ceases to be employed by an Affiliate (regardless of the reason for the termination of employment); provided that, if at the time of such termination of employment the Eligible Employee has an illness or disability and is receiving (or is in the process of qualifying for) long term disability benefits under the applicable Employee Disability Plan, then the Eligible Employee’s benefits under the Plan as to that illness or disability shall continue (or, if the Eligible Employee is in the process of qualifying for long-term disability benefits, benefits under the Plan shall commence if such qualification occurs and shall continue) until the first to occur of (1) one year after the date of initial absence for the period of Disability in effect at termination of employment, as such period of Disability is defined under the applicable Employee Disability Plan or (2) the date a salary replacement benefit is no longer payable from the applicable Employee Disability Plan.
ARTICLE 3
CONDITIONS RELATED TO BENEFITS
3.1 Nonassignability
The benefits provided under the Plan may not be alienated, assigned, transferred, pledged or hypothecated by or to any person or entity, at any time or in any manner whatsoever. These benefits will be exempt from the claims of creditors of any Eligible Employee or other claimants and from all orders, decrees, levies, garnishment or executions against any Eligible Employee to the fullest extent allowed by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the benefit payable to an Eligible Employee

2



may be assigned in full or in part, pursuant to a domestic relations order of a court of competent jurisdiction.
3.2 No Right to Assets
An Eligible Employee’s benefits paid under the Plan will be paid from the general funds of the Eligible Employee’s Employer, and the Eligible Employee will be no more than an unsecured general creditor of that Employer with no special or prior right to any assets of the Employer for payment of any obligations hereunder. The Eligible Employee will have no claim to benefits from any other Affiliate. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in the definition of “Employer” to the contrary, and at the sole discretion of EIX, EIX may determine that for purposes of benefits payable under the Plan, EIX shall be deemed to be the Employer obligated to pay such benefits. Such an election by EIX may be made, in EIX’s sole discretion, as to all Plan benefits, as to only certain benefits, and/or as to only certain Affiliates or Eligible Employees, and will be deemed an assumption of the specified benefit obligations of the applicable Affiliates. Subject to the further provisions hereof, EIX will be solely obligated to pay any such benefits and no Eligible Employee will have a claim as to any other Affiliate with respect to such benefits. Upon an election by EIX under this Section 3.2, benefits covered by the election will be paid from the general funds of EIX (and not the Affiliate that would otherwise pay the benefits), provided that EIX may require that as between EIX and the Affiliate that would otherwise pay such benefits, the Affiliate will be responsible to pay EIX for the assumption of such obligations in accordance with funding arrangements determined by EIX at the time of election or any time thereafter. To the extent such Affiliate fails to comply with such funding arrangements or obtains any refund or offset of payments made from the Affiliate to EIX without the consent of EIX, the Affiliate that would otherwise be responsible for payment of benefits to the applicable Eligible Employee will remain responsible for such benefits. EIX will effectuate any such election pursuant to this Section 3.2 by providing written notice to the Administrator and the applicable Affiliates regarding the effective date of such election, and the benefits, Affiliates and Eligible Employees for which the election is applicable. The funding arrangements established by EIX at the time of its election, or from time to time thereafter, will set forth the method by which the Affiliates will remit funds to EIX in consideration of Plan benefit obligations that are assumed by EIX.
3.3 Protective Provisions
The Eligible Employee will cooperate with the Administrator by furnishing any and all information requested by the Administrator, in order to facilitate the payment of benefits hereunder, taking such physical examinations as the Administrator may deem necessary and signing such consents to insure or taking such other actions as may be requested by the Administrator. If the Eligible Employee refuses to cooperate, the Administrator and the Employer will have no further obligation under the Plan.
3.4 Incapacity
If any person entitled to payments under this Plan is incapacitated and unable to use such payments in his or her own best interest, EIX may direct that payments (or any portion) be made to that person’s legal guardian or conservator, or that person’s spouse, as an alternative to payment to the person unable to use the payments. EIX will have no obligation to supervise the use of such payments, and court-appointed guardianship or conservatorship may be required.

ARTICLE 4
PLAN ADMINISTRATION
4.1 Plan Interpretation
The Administrator will administer the Plan and interpret, construe and apply its provisions in accordance with its terms and will provide direction and oversight as necessary to management, staff, or contractors to whom day-to-day Plan operations may be delegated. The Administrator will establish, adopt or revise such rules and regulations as it may deem necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan. All decisions of the Administrator will be final and binding.
4.2 Limited Liability
Neither the Administrator, nor any of its members or designees, will be liable to any person for any action taken or omitted in connection with the interpretation and administration of this Plan.
ARTICLE 5
AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF PLAN
5. 1 Authority to Amend or Terminate
The Administrator will have full power and authority to prospectively modify or terminate this Plan, and the Administrator's interpretations, constructions and actions, including any determination of the amount or recipient of the payment to be made, will be binding and conclusive on all persons for all purposes. Absent the consent of the Eligible Employee, however, the Administrator will in no event have any authority to modify this section. However, no such amendment or termination will apply to any person who has then qualified for or is receiving benefits under this Plan.
5.2 Limitations
In the event of Plan amendment or termination which has the effect of eliminating or reducing a benefit under the Plan, the benefits of Eligible Employees will not be less than the benefits to which such Eligible Employees would have been entitled immediately prior to such amendment or termination of the Plan.

ARTICLE 6
CLAIMS AND REVIEW PROCEDURES
6.1 Claims Procedure

(a)     Within a reasonable period of time, but not later than 45 days after receipt of a claim, the Administrator or its delegate shall notify the Eligible Employee (or person submitting a claim on behalf of the Eligible Employee) (a “claimant”) of any adverse benefit determination on the claim, unless circumstances beyond the Plan’s control require an extension of time for processing the claim. In no event may the extension period exceed 30 days from the end of the initial 45-day period. If an extension is necessary, the Administrator or its delegate shall provide the claimant with a written notice to this effect prior to the expiration of the initial 45-day period. The notice shall describe the circumstances requiring the extension and the date by which the Administrator

4



or its delegate expects to render a determination on the claim. If, prior to the end of the first 30-day extension period, the Administrator or its delegate determines that, due to circumstances beyond the control of the Plan, a decision cannot be rendered within that extension period, the period for making the determination may be extended for an additional 30 days, so long as the Administrator or its delegate notifies the claimant, prior to the expiration of the first 30-day extension period, of the circumstances requiring the extension and the date as of which the Administrator or its delegate expects to render a decision. This notice of extension shall specifically describe the standards on which entitlement to a benefit is based, the unresolved issues that prevent a decision on the claim, and the additional information needed to resolve those issues, and that the claimant has at least 45 days within which to provide the specified information. Furthermore, in the event that a period of time is extended as permitted due to a claimant’s failure to submit information necessary to decide a claim, the period for making the benefit determination shall be tolled from the date on which the notification of the extension is sent to the claimant until the date on which the claimant responds to the request for additional information.

(b)     In the case of an adverse benefit determination, the Administrator or its delegate shall provide to the claimant written or electronic notification setting forth in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant in a culturally and linguistically appropriate manner: (i) the specific reason or reasons for the adverse benefit determination; (ii) reference to the specific Plan provisions on which the adverse benefit determination is based; (iii) a description of any additional material or information necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of why the material or information is necessary; (iv) a description of the Plan’s claim review procedures and the time limits applicable to such procedures, including a statement of the claimant’s right to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA following an adverse final benefit determination on review and in accordance with Section 6.2 below; (v) either the specific internal rules, guidelines, protocols, standards or other similar criteria of the Plan relied upon in making the adverse determination or a statement that such rules, guidelines, protocols, standards or other similar criteria of the Plan do not exist; (vi) if the determination is based on a medical necessity or experimental treatment or similar exclusion or limit, either an explanation of the scientific or clinical judgment for the determination, applying the terms of the Plan to the claimant’s medical circumstances, or a statement that such explanation shall be provided free of charge upon request; (vii) a statement that the claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claimant’s claim for benefits; and (viii) a discussion of the decision, including an explanation of the basis for disagreeing with or not following: (a) the views presented by the claimant to the Plan of health care professionals treating the claimant and vocational professionals who evaluated the claimant; (b) the views of medical or vocational experts whose advice was obtained on behalf of the Plan in connection with a claimant’s adverse benefit determination, without regard to whether the advice was relied upon in making the benefit determination; and (c) a disability determination made by the Social Security Administration regarding the claimant presented by the claimant to the Plan.

(c)    Any good-faith determination by the Administrator or its delegate will be final and binding on the Plan and the claimant unless appealed in accordance with this Section 6.1(c). Within 180 days after receipt by the claimant of notification of the adverse benefit determination, the claimant or the claimant’s duly authorized representative, upon written application to the Administrator, may

request that the Plan fully and fairly review the adverse benefit determination (also sometimes referred to herein as an “appeal”). Upon request and free of charge, the claimant pursuing an appeal shall have reasonable access to, and be provided copies of, all documents, records and other information relevant to the claimant’s claim for benefits. The claimant shall have the opportunity to submit written comments, documents, records, and other information relating to the claim for benefits. The review: (i) shall take into account all comments, documents, records, and other information submitted regardless of whether the information was previously submitted or considered in the initial adverse benefit determination; (ii) shall not afford deference to the initial adverse benefit determination; (iii) shall be conducted, at the direction of the Administrator, by an appropriate fiduciary of the Plan who is neither the individual who made the adverse benefit determination that is the subject of the review, nor the subordinate of such individual; (iv) shall identify medical and vocational experts whose advice was obtained on behalf of the Plan in connection with the initial adverse benefit determination, without regard to whether the advice was relied upon in making the benefit determination; and (v) where based in whole or in part on medical evidence or medical judgment, including determinations with regard to whether a particular treatment, drug, or other item is experimental, investigational, or not medically necessary or appropriate, shall include consultation with a physician, with appropriate training and experience in the field of medicine involved in the medical judgment, who was neither consulted in connection with the initial adverse benefit determination, nor the subordinate of any such professional.
The appeal will then be approved or denied by the Administrator or its delegate, as it deems appropriate, based on its interpretation of the Plan in light of the medical evidence.
Before an adverse benefit determination on review of a claim due to Disability is issued, the claimant shall be provided, free of charge, with any new or additional evidence considered, relied upon, or generated by the Administrator or its delegate making the benefit determination (or at the direction of the Administrator) in connection with the claim; such evidence will be provided as soon as possible and sufficiently in advance of the date on which the notice of adverse benefit determination on review is required to be provided to give the claimant a reasonable opportunity to respond prior to that date.
Also before an adverse benefit determination on review based on a new or additional rationale is issued, the claimant shall be provided, free of charge, the rationale; the rationale must be provided as soon as possible and sufficiently in advance of the date on which the notice of adverse benefit determination on review is required to be provided to give the claimant a reasonable opportunity to respond prior to that date.
A final benefit determination will be made by the Administrator or its delegate, and the Administrator or its delegate shall provide the claimant with written or electronic notification of the final benefit determination within a reasonable period of time, but no later than 45 days immediately following receipt of claimant’s request for review, unless special circumstances require a further extension of time for processing the claim, which extension may be up to an additional 45 days. If such an extension of time for review is required because of special circumstances, the Administrator or its delegate shall provide the claimant with a written notice of the extension prior to the commencement of the extension. The notice shall describe the special circumstances requiring

6



the extension and the date as of which the final benefit determination shall be made. In the event that a period of time is extended due to a claimant’s failure to submit information necessary to decide a claim, the period for making the benefit determination on review shall be tolled from the date on which the notification of the extension is sent to the claimant until the date on which the claimant responds to the request for additional information. In the case of an adverse final benefit determination, the Administrator or its delegate shall provide to the claimant written or electronic notification setting forth in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant and in a culturally and linguistically appropriate manner: (i) the specific reason or reasons for the adverse final benefit determination; (ii) reference to the specific Plan provisions on which the adverse final benefit determination is based; (iii) a statement that the claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records and other information relevant to the claimant’s claim for benefits; (iv) a statement of the claimant’s right to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA following an adverse final benefit determination on review and mandatory arbitration in accordance with Section 6.2 below; (v) either the specific internal rules, guidelines, protocols, standards or other similar criteria of the Plan relied upon in making the adverse determination or a statement that such rules, guidelines, protocols, standards or other similar criteria of the Plan do not exist; (vi) if the determination is based on a medical necessity or experimental treatment or similar exclusion or limit, an explanation of the scientific or clinical judgment for the determination, applying the terms of the Plan to the claimant’s medical circumstances, or a statement that such explanation shall be provided free of charge upon request; (vii) a discussion of the decision, including an explanation of the basis for disagreeing with or not following: (a) the views presented by the claimant to the Plan of health care professionals treating the claimant and vocational professionals who evaluated the claimant; (b) the views of medical or vocational experts whose advice was obtained on behalf of the Plan in connection with a claimant’s adverse benefit determination, without regard to whether the advice was relied upon in making the benefit determination; and (c) a disability determination made by the Social Security Administration regarding the claimant presented by the claimant to the Plan; and (viii) the following statement: “You and your plan may have other voluntary alternative dispute resolution options, such as mediation. One way to find out what may be available is to contact your local U.S. Department of Labor Office and your State insurance regulatory agency.” As described above, there shall be only one level of review of an adverse benefit determination, followed by mandatory arbitration under Section 6.2, before a claimant may bring a civil action pursuant to Section 502 of ERISA.
6.2 Dispute Arbitration
(a)    Effective as to any claims filed on or after June 19, 2014, final and binding arbitration under this Section 6.2 shall be the sole remedy available to a claimant after he or she has exhausted the claim and review procedures set forth in Section 6.1. Furthermore, exhaustion by the claimant of the claim and review procedures set forth in Section 6.1 is a mandatory prerequisite for binding arbitration under this Section 6.2. Any arbitration or civil action brought prior to the exhaustion of the claim and review procedures set forth in Section 6.1 shall be remanded to the Administrator to permit the claim and review procedures to be exhausted.
(b)    After a claimant has exhausted the claim and review procedures set forth in Section 6.1, if the claimant is determined by the Administrator not to be eligible for benefits, or if the claimant

7



believes that he or she is entitled to greater or different benefits, the claimant may submit his or her claim to final and binding arbitration under this Section 6.2.
Any arbitration under this Section 6.2 will be held in Los Angeles County, California, in accordance with the then-current JAMS Arbitration Rules and Procedures for Employment Disputes (“JAMS Rules”) and under the Federal Arbitration Act. The arbitration shall be before a sole arbitrator, selected by mutual agreement of the parties. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator, the arbitrator shall be selected by striking in accordance with the then-current JAMS Rules from a list of arbitrators supplied by JAMS. Any and all claims and/or defenses that would otherwise be available in a court of law will be fully available to the parties. The arbitrator selected pursuant to this paragraph (the “Arbitrator”) may order such discovery as is necessary for a full and fair exploration of the issues and dispute, consistent with the expedited nature of arbitration. The Arbitrator shall apply applicable substantive law to resolve the dispute. To the fullest extent provided by federal law, the decision rendered by the Administrator pursuant to the claim and review procedures set forth in Section 6.1 shall be upheld by the Arbitrator unless the Arbitrator determines that the Administrator abused its discretion. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if a Change in Control occurs, then a claim review decision rendered by the Administrator within the three years following the Change in Control shall, if it is challenged by the claimant in accordance with this Section 6.2, be subject to de novo review by the Arbitrator. Subject to the applicable standard of review in the preceding two sentences, the Arbitrator may grant any award or relief available under applicable law that the Arbitrator deems just and equitable.
At the conclusion of the arbitration, the Arbitrator shall issue a written decision that sets forth the essential findings and conclusions upon which the Arbitrator’s award or decision is based. Any award or relief granted by the Arbitrator hereunder shall be final and binding on the parties hereto, and may be enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction. All costs unique to arbitration (e.g., the Arbitrator’s fees and room fees) shall be paid by the Administrator. The parties shall otherwise bear their own costs (e.g., attorneys’ fees, expert fees, witness fees, etc.). If, however, any party prevails on a statutory claim that affords the prevailing party attorneys’ fees and costs, then the Arbitrator may award reasonable fees and costs to the prevailing party.
(c)    Notwithstanding any contrary provisions of this Section 6.2, if the claim is for disability benefits, the following rules apply: (1) arbitration under this Section 6.2 shall be the mandatory second level of appeal following the exhaustion by the claimant of the claim and review procedures set forth in Section 6.1, and such exhaustion is a mandatory prerequisite for arbitration under this Section 6.2—any arbitration or civil action brought with respect to a claim for disability benefits prior to the exhaustion of the claim and review procedures set forth in Section 6.1 shall be remanded to the Administrator to permit the claim and review procedures to be exhausted; (2) arbitration of a claim for disability benefits under this Section 6.2 shall not be binding, and the claimant shall not be precluded from challenging the decision of the Arbitrator in a civil action brought pursuant to Section 502(a) of ERISA; and (3) except as specifically set forth in this Section 6.2(c), if the claim is for disability benefits, the arbitration shall be conducted as set forth in Section 6.2(b).

SEVERANCE BENEFITS
2.1      Right to Severance Benefits
Subject to Sections 2.6, 8.2, 10.1, and 10.9, an Eligible Employee shall be entitled to receive from his or her Employer the benefits described in Section 2.3 if the Eligible Employee’s employment by his or her Employer is terminated by the Employer without Cause (and other than due to the Eligible Employee’s Disability). Notwithstanding anything else contained herein to the contrary, an Eligible Employee shall not be entitled to receive the benefits described in Section 2.3 if the Eligible Employee is entitled to benefits under or as described in Section 2.2.

5



2.2      Right to Change in Control Severance Benefits
Subject to Sections 2.6, 8.2, 10.1, and 10.9, an Eligible Employee shall be entitled to receive the benefits described in Section 2.4 if the Eligible Employee incurs a Qualifying Termination Event. If more than one Qualifying Termination Event occurs with respect to an Eligible Employee, such events shall constitute a single Qualifying Termination Event and the provisions of Section 2.4 shall apply with respect to the Eligible Employee only once. An Eligible Employee’s continued employment shall not constitute a consent to, or a waiver of rights with respect to, any circumstances constituting Good Reason for purposes of determining if a Qualifying Termination Event has occurred with respect to the Eligible Employee.
2.3      Severance Benefit - Termination by Employer Without Cause (Other than a Qualifying Termination Event or Termination due to the Eligible Employee’s Disability)
In the event that an Eligible Employee becomes entitled to receive benefits in accordance with Section 2.1, then the Eligible Employee shall be entitled to the benefits described in Sections 2.3.1 through 2.3.6 below.
2.3.1      Cash Benefit
The Eligible Employee’s Employer shall pay to the Eligible Employee a non-discounted cash amount equal to the sum of the following:
(a)      an amount equal to the greater of:
(1)      one times the highest annualized rate of the Eligible Employee’s Salary in effect at any time during the 24-month period ending on the Eligible Employee’s Termination Date, or
(2)      one times the highest weekly rate of the Eligible Employee’s Salary in effect at any time during the 24-month period ending on the Eligible Employee’s Termination Date multiplied by the number of weeks that would have been used (if the Eligible Employee had not been an Executive) to determine the Eligible Employee’s cash severance benefit under the non-executive severance plan (if any) maintained by the Eligible Employee’s Employer and as in effect on the Eligible Employee’s Termination Date;
(b)      except as provided in EIX’s 2008 Executive Bonus Program (or successor annual bonus program for the relevant year) as to an Eligible Employee who is covered by such program, in the calendar year in which the Eligible Employee’s Termination Date occurs, a pro rata portion (based on the number of weekdays that elapsed in the calendar year in which the Eligible Employee’s Termination Date occurs between the start of that calendar year and the Eligible Employee’s Termination Date) of the Eligible Employee’s highest Target Bonus Percentage in effect at any time during the 24-month period ending on the Eligible Employee’s Termination Date multiplied by the Eligible Employee’s highest annualized Salary in effect at any time during such 24-month period; and

6



(c)      an amount equal to one times the highest annualized rate of the Eligible Employee’s Salary in effect at any time during the 24-month period ending on the Eligible Employee’s Termination Date times the Eligible Employee’s highest Target Bonus Percentage in effect at any time during the 24-month period ending on the Eligible Employee’s Termination Date.
The amount determined under this Section 2.3.1 shall be paid as a lump sum without notice or demand within 65 days following the date of the Eligible Employee’s Separation from Service, but only if EIX has timely received from the Eligible Employee the agreement referenced in Section 10.1.
2.3.2      Health Care Coverage Benefit
(a)      The Eligible Employee will be eligible to participate in the Retiree Health Care Program if, under the terms of the non-executive severance plan (if any) maintained by the Eligible Employee’s Employer and as in effect on the Eligible Employee’s Termination Date, the Eligible Employee would otherwise have been eligible (if he or she had not been an Executive) for participation in the Retiree Health Care Program by virtue of his or her age and service. For purposes of clarity, any healthcare benefits and subsidy (as opposed to eligibility) will be determined under the Retiree Health Care Program and not the non-executive severance plan.
(b)      If the Eligible Employee is not eligible for the Retiree Health Care Program in accordance with Section 2.3.2(a), is not otherwise eligible for the Retiree Health Care Program, or his or her Employer does not maintain a retiree health care program, the Eligible Employee will receive an extension of health care coverage for a period following the Eligible Employee’s Termination Date that is the greater of 12 months or the extension period for which the Eligible Employee would have been eligible (if he or she had not been an Executive) under the non-executive severance program (if any) maintained by the Eligible Employee’s Employer and as in effect on the Eligible Employee’s Termination Date but in no event longer than the maximum period the Eligible Employee would be entitled to continuation coverage under COBRA. Any continued coverage in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be on terms similar to those as in effect under the Eligible Employee’s Employer’s health care program in effect with respect to the Eligible Employee immediately before the termination of his or her employment and based on the Eligible Employee’s coverage elections in effect at such time, provided that the actual healthcare benefits and subsidy will be determined under the Eligible Employee’s Employer’s healthcare program as it may be amended from time to time. Notwithstanding Section 6.3 to the contrary, EIX and/or the Eligible Employee’s Employer, as applicable, shall not be obligated to continue such coverage if the Eligible Employee obtains similar coverage from any successor employer or from a health insurance exchange. EIX and/or the Eligible Employee’s Employer, as applicable, shall give the Eligible Employee the required COBRA benefit continuation notice prior to (and the Eligible Employee’s eligibility for continuation benefits under COBRA shall commence as of) the end of the applicable period determined as set forth above.
(c)      An Eligible Employee’s coverage under the Retiree Health Care Program pursuant to Section 2.3.2(a) is subject to the Eligible Employee’s Employer’s ability to amend and/or terminate coverage under its Retiree Health Care Program from time to time.  In the event that an Eligible Employee is covered under a Retiree Health Care Program pursuant to Section 2.3.2(a)

7



and, in the period of time contemplated by Section 2.3.2(b) for the extension of health care coverage pursuant to such section, the Eligible Employee’s Employer terminates its Retiree Health Care Program, the Eligible Employee shall be entitled to an extension of coverage under and pursuant to Section 2.3.2(b) for the balance of the extension period contemplated by Section 2.3.2(b) and following the cessation of the Eligible Employee’s coverage under the Retiree Health Care Program.
2.3.3      [Reserved]
2.3.4      [Reserved]
2.3.5      Outplacement Benefit
The Eligible Employee shall be entitled to reimbursement of up to $20,000 for reasonable outplacement costs incurred in the two-year period commencing on his or her Termination Date. Any such reimbursements shall be paid to the Eligible Employee by the end of the third taxable year of the Eligible Employee following the taxable year in which the Eligible Employee’s Separation from Service occurred.
2.3.6      Educational Assistance Benefit
The Eligible Employee shall be entitled to the educational assistance benefit to which he or she would have been entitled (if he or she had not been an executive) under the non-executive severance plan, if any, maintained by his or her Employer and as in effect on the Eligible Employee’s Termination Date. To the extent any educational assistance benefits or reimbursements are taxable to the Eligible Employee and provide for a deferral of compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, any such reimbursements or benefits shall be paid to the Eligible Employee on or before the last day of the Eligible Employee’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense was incurred, shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for other benefits and the reimbursements or benefits that the Eligible Employee receives in one taxable year shall not affect the amount of reimbursements or benefits that the Eligible Employee receives in any other taxable year.
2.3.7      [Reserved]
2.4      Change in Control Severance Benefits
If an Eligible Employee incurs a Qualifying Termination Event, the Eligible Employee shall be entitled to the benefits described in Sections 2.3.1 through 2.3.6 above, subject to the following subsections of this Section 2.4.
2.4.1      Senior Officer Enhanced Benefit
If the Eligible Employee was a Senior Vice President or an officer of higher rank of EIX or Southern California Edison Company within the 12 month period preceding his or her Termination Date but is not covered by Section 2.4.2, then the Eligible Employee will be entitled to the benefit modifications described in this Section 2.4.1. “Two times” will be substituted for

8



“one times” in Section 2.3.1, including for purposes of determining the Eligible Employee’s benefit under Section 2.3.1(c). “$30,000” will be substituted for “$20,000” in Section 2.3.5. Benefits under Section 2.3.2 will be extended to the maximum period permitted under COBRA.
2.4.2      Certain Additional Enhanced Benefits
If the Eligible Employee was the most senior officer of EIX, the most senior officer of Southern California Edison Company, the General Counsel of EIX, or the Chief Financial Officer of EIX within the 12 month period preceding his or her Termination Date, then the Eligible Employee will be entitled to the benefit modifications described in this Section 2.4.2. “Three times” will be substituted for “one times” in Section 2.3.1, including for purposes of determining the Eligible Employee’s benefit under Section 2.3.1(c). “$50,000” will be substituted for “$20,000” in Section 2.3.5. Benefits under Section 2.3.2 will be extended to the maximum period permitted under COBRA.
2.5      Termination for Other Reasons
Except as expressly provided below, EIX and an Eligible Employee’s Employer shall have no obligations (or no further obligations, as the case may be) to the Eligible Employee under this Plan if:
(a)      the Eligible Employee’s employment is terminated by his or her Employer for Cause;
(b)      the Eligible Employee terminates his or her employment with his or her Employer during a Protected Period other than for Good Reason;
(c)      the Eligible Employee’s employment by his or her Employer terminates due to the Eligible Employee’s Disability or death;
(d)      the Eligible Employee terminates his or her employment with his or her Employer for any reason if the termination occurs outside of a Protected Period; or
(e)      the Eligible Employee is employed by an Employer that is sold, spun off, or liquidated and the Eligible Employee is no longer covered by this Plan as provided in Section 8.2 or the Eligible Employee does not timely comply with Section 10.1.
Notwithstanding anything else contained herein to the contrary, a termination of an Eligible Employee’s employment on account of the Eligible Employee reaching mandatory retirement age, as such age may be defined from time to time in policies adopted by EIX or his or her Employer prior to the commencement of the Protected Period, to the extent such policies are applicable to the Eligible Employee immediately prior to the commencement of the Protected Period and to the extent such policies are consistent with applicable law, shall not entitle the Eligible Employee to the benefits described in Section 2.3 and shall not be a Qualifying Termination Event unless the Eligible Employee was otherwise able to terminate employment for Good Reason immediately prior to his or her retirement and his or her retirement occurred during a Protected Period.

2.6      Termination and Repayment of Benefits
EIX or the Eligible Employee’s Employer may terminate (or cause there to be terminated, as the case may be) any benefits otherwise payable or to be paid (or to be provided, as the case may be) to the Eligible Employee under this Plan, and/or may require the Eligible Employee to repay any benefits previously paid or provided to the Eligible Employee under this Plan, and EIX and the Eligible Employee’s Employer shall have no obligations (or no further obligations, as the case may be) to the Eligible Employee with respect thereto, if:
(a)      at the time of the termination of the Eligible Employee’s employment, there existed Cause for the Eligible Employee’s Employer to terminate the Eligible Employee’s employment (regardless of whether such Employer knew of the circumstances that constituted Cause at the time of such termination or first became aware of such circumstances after such termination, and regardless of whether the termination of employment was characterized as being for Cause at the time of such termination); or
(b)    during the period of the Eligible Employee’s employment by his or her Employer or at any time thereafter, the Eligible Employee committed or engaged in a breach of confidentiality, or an unauthorized disclosure or use of inside information, trade secrets or other confidential information of EIX or any of its affiliates; or
(c)    during the period of the Eligible Employee’s employment by his or her Employer or at any time thereafter, the Eligible Employee breached any no-solicitation obligation owed to EIX or any of its affiliates. (For purposes of clarity, the no-solicitation obligations covered by this Section 2.6(c) include, without limitation, those obligations set forth in Section 7 of the form of Severance Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A, as those obligations are set forth in the Eligible Employee’s Severance Agreement.)
Any determination by EIX or the Eligible Employee’s Employer that the Eligible Employee’s benefits are to be terminated and/or repaid pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall be communicated to the Eligible Employee in writing. Such writing shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for such determination.
However, as to an Eligible Employee who is otherwise eligible for benefits pursuant to Section 2.3 or 2.4, and who satisfies the requirements of Section 10.1, the Eligible Employee’s minimum aggregate benefit pursuant to Section 2.3.1 (“Minimum Benefit”) shall be the lesser of (i) Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000), or (ii) the amount of the Eligible Employee’s benefit otherwise determined pursuant to Section 2.3.1 (giving effect to any adjustment thereto pursuant to Section 2.4, if applicable in the circumstances). A termination of benefits pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall not cause the Eligible Employee’s aggregate benefit pursuant to Section 2.3.1 to be less than the applicable Minimum Benefit, nor shall a repayment of benefits required under this Section 2.6 require the Eligible Employee to repay the amount of his or her Minimum Benefit.
The provisions of this Section 2.6 are not in any way in limitation of any other right or remedy, (at law or otherwise, to obtain specific performance, injunctive relief, other appropriate relief and/or damages) otherwise available to EIX or any of its affiliates in the circumstances.

10



Furthermore, the provisions of this Section 2.6 do not in any way limit any obligation (confidentiality, no-solicitation or otherwise) owed by any Eligible Employee to EIX or any of its affiliates.
2.7      Notice of Termination
Any termination of an Eligible Employee’s employment by his or her Employer for Cause or by an Eligible Employee for Good Reason shall be communicated by Notice of Termination. For purposes of this Plan, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a written notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Plan relied upon, and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Eligible Employee’s employment under the provision so indicated. The Notice of Termination shall be effective on the date specified in Section 10.7 of this Plan. Any Notice of Termination remains subject to the provisions of Section 2.6.
ARTICLE 3
TAXES
EIX and/or the Eligible Employee’s Employer, as applicable, has the right to withhold from any amount otherwise payable to an Eligible Employee under or pursuant to this Plan the amount of any taxes that EIX or such Employer may legally be required to withhold with respect to such payment (including, without limitation, any United States Federal taxes, and any other state, city, or local taxes). In the event that tax withholding is required with respect to amounts or benefits payable or deliverable by EIX or the Eligible Employee’s Employer to an Eligible Employee and EIX or the Employer cannot satisfy its tax withholding obligations in the manner described in the preceding sentence, EIX or the Employer may require the Eligible Employee to pay or provide for the payment of such required tax withholding as a condition to the payment or delivery of such amounts or benefits. Each Eligible Employee, former Eligible Employee and Beneficiary shall be solely responsible for all income and employment taxes arising in connection with participation in this Plan or benefits hereunder.
ARTICLE 4
[RESERVED]
ARTICLE 5
BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION
The Eligible Employee will have the right, at any time, to designate any person or persons as Beneficiary (both primary and contingent) to whom payment under the Plan will be made in the event of the Eligible Employee’s death. The Beneficiary designation will be effective when it is submitted to the Administrator during the Eligible Employee’s lifetime in accordance with procedures established by the Administrator.
The submission of a new Beneficiary designation will cancel all prior Beneficiary designations. Any finalized divorce or marriage of an Eligible Employee subsequent to the date of a Beneficiary designation will revoke such designation, unless in the case of divorce the previous

11



spouse was not designated as a Beneficiary, and unless in the case of marriage the Eligible Employee’s new spouse has previously been designated as Beneficiary. The spouse of a married Eligible Employee must consent in writing to any designation of a Beneficiary other than the spouse.
If an Eligible Employee fails to designate a Beneficiary as provided above, or if the Beneficiary designation is revoked by marriage, divorce, or otherwise without execution of a new designation, or if every person designated as Beneficiary predeceases the Eligible Employee, then the Administrator will direct the distribution of the benefits to the Eligible Employee’s estate. If a primary Beneficiary dies after commencement of payments to the Beneficiary but prior to completion of benefits under this Plan, and no contingent Beneficiary has been designated by the Eligible Employee, any remaining payments will be paid to the primary Beneficiary’s Beneficiary, if one has been designated, or to the Beneficiary’s estate.
ARTICLE 6
CONDITIONS RELATED TO BENEFITS
6.1      Nonassignability
The benefits provided under the Plan may not be alienated, assigned, transferred, pledged or hypothecated by or to any person or entity, at any time or any manner whatsoever. These benefits will be exempt from the claims of creditors of any Eligible Employee or other claimants and from all orders, decrees, levies, garnishment or executions against any Eligible Employee to the fullest extent allowed by law.
6.2      No Right to Assets
The benefits paid under the Plan will be paid from the general funds of the Employer who last employs the Eligible Employee immediately prior to the time that the Eligible Employee becomes entitled to benefits hereunder, and the Eligible Employee and any Beneficiary will be no more than unsecured general creditors of the Employer with no special or prior right to any assets of the Employer for payment of any obligations hereunder. Neither the Eligible Employee nor the Beneficiary will have a claim to benefits from any other Affiliate. EIX is not a guarantor of the benefit obligations of other participating Affiliates. By participating in, and by accepting any benefits under, this Plan, Eligible Employees consent to EIX sponsorship of this Plan, but acknowledge that EIX is not a guarantor of the benefit obligations of other participating Affiliates. Each Affiliate is responsible for payment of the accrued benefits under this Plan with respect to its own Eligible Employees subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in the definition of “Employer” to the contrary, and at the sole discretion of EIX, EIX may determine that for purposes of benefits payable under this Plan, EIX shall be deemed to be the Employer obligated to pay such benefits. Such an election by EIX may be made, in EIX’s sole discretion, as to all Plan benefits, as to only certain benefits, and/or as to only certain Affiliates or Eligible Employees, and will be deemed an assumption of the specified benefit obligations of the applicable Affiliates. Subject to the further provisions hereof, EIX will be solely obligated to pay any such benefits and no Eligible Employee (or Beneficiary) will have a claim as to any other Affiliate with respect to such benefits. Upon an

12



election by EIX under this Section 6.2, benefits covered by the election will be paid from the general funds of EIX (and not the Affiliate that would otherwise pay the benefits), provided that EIX may require that as between EIX and the Affiliate that would otherwise pay such benefits, the Affiliate will be responsible to pay EIX for the assumption of such obligations in accordance with funding arrangements determined by EIX at the time of election or any time thereafter. To the extent such Affiliate fails to comply with such funding arrangements or obtains any refund or offset of payments made from the Affiliate to EIX without the consent of EIX, the Affiliate that would otherwise be responsible for payment of benefits to the applicable Eligible Employee will remain responsible for such benefits. EIX will effectuate any such election pursuant to this Section 6.2 by providing written notice to the Administrator and the applicable Affiliates regarding the effective date of such election, and the benefits, Affiliates and Eligible Employees for which the election is applicable. The funding arrangements established by EIX at the time of its election, or from time to time thereafter, will set forth the method by which the Affiliates will remit funds to EIX in consideration of benefit obligations that are assumed by EIX.
6.3      Payment of Obligations Absolute
Subject to the Eligible Employee’s timely compliance with Section 10.1 and the agreement contemplated thereby, each Employer’s obligation to make the payments and the arrangements provided for herein shall be absolute and unconditional, and shall not be affected by any circumstances, including, without limitation, any offset, counterclaim, recoupment, defense, or other right which the Employer may have against the Eligible Employee or anyone else. Each and every payment made hereunder by an Employer shall be final, and the Employer shall not seek to recover all or any part of such payment from the Eligible Employee or from whomsoever may be entitled thereto, for any reasons whatsoever, except as otherwise provided in Article 7 and subject to the Eligible Employee’s timely compliance with Section 10.1 and the agreement contemplated thereby. Eligible Employees shall not be obligated to seek other employment in mitigation of the amounts payable or arrangements made under any provision of this Plan, and the obtaining of any such other employment shall in no event effect any reduction of an Employer’s obligations to make the payments and arrangements required to be made under this Plan except as provided in Section 2.3.2(b). The foregoing provisions of this Section 6.3 are subject to the provisions of Section 2.6 and Section 10.9.
6.4      Other Benefit Plans
All payments, benefits and amounts provided under this Plan shall be in addition to and not in substitution for any pension rights under EIX’s or other Employer’s tax-qualified pension plans in which the Eligible Employee participates, and any disability, workers’ compensation or EIX or other Employer benefit plan distribution that an Eligible Employee is entitled to, under the terms of any such plan, at the time his or her employment by his or her Employer terminates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Plan shall not create an inference that any duplicate payments shall be required, and notwithstanding anything else contained herein to the contrary, any severance benefits otherwise payable or deliverable under this Plan to a Participant shall be offset or reduced by the amount of severance benefits payable or deliverable to the Participant under any other plan, program, or agreement of or with EIX, the Participant’s Employer, or their

13



respective Affiliates. Payments received by a person under this Plan shall not be deemed a part of the person’s compensation for purposes of determining the person’s benefits under any employee welfare, pension or other benefit plan or arrangement, if any, provided by an Employer, except where explicitly provided under the terms of such plan or arrangement.
6.5      Incapacity
If any person entitled to payments under this Plan is incapacitated and unable to use such payments in his or her own best interest, EIX may direct that payments (or any portion) be made to that person’s legal guardian or conservator, or that person’s spouse, as an alternative to payment to the person unable to use the payments. EIX will have no obligation to supervise the use of such payments, and court-appointed guardianship or conservatorship may be required.
6.6      Six Month Delay
Notwithstanding any other provisions of the plan, any payment or benefit otherwise required to be made after an Eligible Employee’s Separation from Service that the Employer reasonably determines is subject to Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code shall not be paid until the earlier of (1) six months after the date of the Eligible Employee’s Separation from Service or (2) the Eligible Employee’s death.
6.7      Termination of Employment
Notwithstanding anything else contained herein to the contrary, a Participant shall not be deemed to have terminated employment or had a Separation from Service if his or her employment by an Employer terminates but he or she continues as an employee of another Affiliate.
6.8      Re-Employment
Notwithstanding anything else contained herein to the contrary, a Participant shall have no right to severance benefits hereunder (pursuant to Sections 2.3 or 2.4 or otherwise) with respect to a termination of his or her employment if, in connection with such termination, he or she is otherwise entitled to severance benefits under this Plan but, prior to the payment or delivery (or commencement of payment or delivery, as the case may be) of such benefits, the Participant becomes re-employed by his or her Employer or by another Affiliate. Notwithstanding anything else contained herein to the contrary, a Participant’s right to continuing or additional benefits under this Plan (including any right to continue participating in or receive benefits under a plan as provided for in Section 2.3) shall automatically terminate (but the Participant shall have no obligation to re-pay benefits previously paid) if the Participant becomes re-employed by his or her Employer or by another Affiliate. If a Participant is re-employed and his or her employment is subsequently terminated and the Participant again becomes entitled to severance benefits under the terms of this Plan in connection with such later termination of employment, the amount of cash severance payments otherwise payable to the Participant pursuant to Section 2.3.1 in connection with such later termination of employment shall be reduced by the amount of any severance payments paid under this Plan to the Participant within the 24 months prior to such

14



later termination of employment in connection with any prior termination of his or her employment.
ARTICLE 7
CLAIMS AND REVIEW PROCEDURES
7.1      Claims Procedure for Claims Other Than Due to Disability
(a)      Except for claims due to Disability, the Administrator will notify an Eligible Employee or his or her Beneficiary (or person submitting a claim on behalf of an Eligible Employee or Beneficiary) (a “claimant”) in writing, within 90 days after his or her written application for benefits, of his or her eligibility or noneligibility for benefits under the Plan. If the Administrator determines that a claimant is not eligible for benefits or full benefits, the notice will set forth (1) the specific reasons for the denial, (2) a specific reference to the provisions of the Plan on which the denial is based, (3) a description of any additional information or material necessary for the claimant to perfect his or her claim, and a description of why it is needed, and (4) an explanation of the Plan’s claims review procedure and other appropriate information as to the steps to be taken if the claimant wishes to have the claim reviewed. If the Administrator determines that there are special circumstances requiring additional time to make a decision, the Administrator will notify the claimant of the special circumstances and the date by which a decision is expected to be made, and may extend the time for up to an additional 90-day period.
(b)      If a claimant is determined by the Administrator not to be eligible for benefits, or if the claimant believes that he or she is entitled to greater or different benefits, the claimant will have the opportunity to have the claim reviewed by the Administrator by filing a petition for review with the Administrator within 60 days after receipt of the notice issued by the Administrator. Said petition will state the specific reasons which the claimant believes entitle him or her to benefits or to greater or different benefits. Within 60 days after receipt by the Administrator of the petition, the Administrator will afford the claimant (and counsel, if any) an opportunity to present his or her position to the Administrator in writing, and the claimant (or counsel) will have the right to review the pertinent documents. The Administrator will notify the claimant of its decision in writing within the 60-day period, stating specifically the basis of its decision, written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant and the specific provisions of the Plan on which the decision is based. If, due to special circumstances (for example, because of the need for a hearing), the 60-day period is not sufficient, the decision may be deferred for up to another 60-day period at the election of the Administrator, but notice of this deferral will be given to the claimant. In the event of the death of the Eligible Employee, the same procedures will apply to the Eligible Employee’s Beneficiaries.
7.2      Claims Procedure for Claims Due to Disability
(a)      For purposes of Section 7.1, this Section 7.2 and Section 7.3, a claim shall not be considered to be due to Disability if the existence of the Eligible Employee’s Disability is determined by reference to whether the Eligible Employee is eligible for benefits under his or her Employer’s long-term disability plan applicable to the Eligible Employee, as determined by the Employer. A claim due to Disability will be approved or denied by the Administrator or its

15



delegate, as it deems appropriate in its discretion, based on its interpretation of the Plan, medical evidence, and the analysis and conclusions of a physician selected by the Administrator or its delegate. Except as contemplated by this Section 7.2, in no event may the extension period exceed 30 days from the end of the initial 45-day period. If an extension is necessary, the Administrator or its delegate shall provide the claimant with a written notice to this effect prior to the expiration of the initial 45-day period. The notice shall describe the circumstances requiring the extension and the date by which the Administrator or its delegate expects to render a determination on the claim. If, prior to the end of the first 30-day extension period, the Administrator or its delegate determines that, due to circumstances beyond the control of the Plan, a decision cannot be rendered within that extension period, the period for making the determination may be extended for an additional 30 days, so long as the Administrator or its delegate notifies the claimant, prior to the expiration of the first 30-day extension period, of the circumstances requiring the extension and the date as of which the Administrator or its delegate expects to render a decision. This notice of extension shall specifically describe the standards on which entitlement to a benefit is based, the unresolved issues that prevent a decision on the claim, and the additional information needed to resolve those issues, and that the claimant has at least 45 days within which to provide the specified information. Furthermore, in the event that a period of time is extended as permitted due to a claimant’s failure to submit information necessary to decide a claim, the period for making the benefit determination shall be tolled from the date on which the notification of the extension is sent to the claimant until the date on which the claimant responds to the request for additional information.
(b)      In the case of an adverse benefit determination, the Administrator or its delegate shall provide to the claimant written or electronic notification setting forth in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant in a culturally and linguistically appropriate manner: (i) the specific reason or reasons for the adverse benefit determination; (ii) reference to the specific Plan provisions on which the adverse benefit determination is based; (iii) a description of any additional material or information necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of why the material or information is necessary; (iv) a description of the Plan’s claim review procedures and the time limits applicable to such procedures, including a statement of the claimant’s right to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA following an adverse final benefit determination on review and in accordance with Section 7.2(c) below; (v) either the specific internal rules, guidelines, protocols, standards or other similar criteria of the Plan relied upon in making the adverse determination or a statement that such rules, guidelines, protocols, standards or other similar criteria of the Plan do not exist; (vi) if the determination is based on a medical necessity or experimental treatment or similar exclusion or limit, either an explanation of the scientific or clinical judgment for the determination, applying the terms of the Plan to the claimant’s medical circumstances, or a statement that such explanation shall be provided free of charge upon request; (vii) a statement that the claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claimant’s claim for benefits; and (viii) a discussion of the decision, including an explanation of the basis for disagreeing with or not following: (a) the views presented by the claimant to the Plan of health care professionals treating the claimant and vocational professionals who evaluated the claimant; (b) the views of medical or vocational experts whose advice was obtained on behalf of the Plan in connection with a claimant’s adverse benefit

16



determination, without regard to whether the advice was relied upon in making the benefit determination; and (c) a disability determination made by the Social Security Administration regarding the claimant presented by the claimant to the Plan.
(c)      Any good-faith determination by the Administrator or its delegate will be final and binding on the Plan and the claimant unless appealed in accordance with this Section 7.2(c). Within 180 days after receipt by the claimant of notification of the adverse benefit determination, the claimant or the claimant’s duly authorized representative, upon written application to the Administrator, may request that the Plan fully and fairly review the adverse benefit determination (also sometimes referred to herein as an “appeal”). Upon request and free of charge, the claimant pursuing an appeal shall have reasonable access to, and be provided copies of, all documents, records and other information relevant to the claimant’s claim for benefits. The claimant shall have the opportunity to submit written comments, documents, records, and other information relating to the claim for benefits. The review: (i) shall take into account all comments, documents, records, and other information submitted regardless of whether the information was previously submitted or considered in the initial adverse benefit determination; (ii) shall not afford deference to the initial adverse benefit determination; (iii) shall be conducted, at the direction of the Administrator, by an appropriate fiduciary of the Plan who is neither the individual who made the adverse benefit determination that is the subject of the review, nor the subordinate of such individual; (iv) shall identify medical and vocational experts whose advice was obtained on behalf of the Plan in connection with the initial adverse benefit determination, without regard to whether the advice was relied upon in making the benefit determination; and (v) where based in whole or in part on medical evidence or medical judgment, including determinations with regard to whether a particular treatment, drug, or other item is experimental, investigational, or not medically necessary or appropriate, shall include consultation with a physician, with appropriate training and experience in the field of medicine involved in the medical judgment, who was neither consulted in connection with the initial adverse benefit determination, nor the subordinate of any such professional.
The appeal will then be approved or denied by the Administrator or its delegate, as it deems appropriate, based on its interpretation of the Plan in light of the medical evidence.
Before an adverse benefit determination on review of a claim due to Disability is issued, the claimant shall be provided, free of charge, with any new or additional evidence considered, relied upon, or generated by the Administrator or its delegate making the benefit determination (or at the direction of the Administrator) in connection with the claim; such evidence will be provided as soon as possible and sufficiently in advance of the date on which the notice of adverse benefit determination on review is required to be provided to give the claimant a reasonable opportunity to respond prior to that date.
Also before an adverse benefit determination on review based on a new or additional rationale is issued, the claimant shall be provided, free of charge, the rationale; the rationale must be provided as soon as possible and sufficiently in advance of the date on which the notice of adverse benefit determination on review is required to be provided to give the claimant a reasonable opportunity to respond prior to that date.

17



A final benefit determination will be made by the Administrator or its delegate, and the Administrator or its delegate shall provide the claimant with written or electronic notification of the final benefit determination within a reasonable period of time, but no later than 45 days immediately following receipt of claimant’s request for review, unless special circumstances require a further extension of time for processing the claim, which extension may be up to an additional 45 days. If such an extension of time for review is required because of special circumstances, the Administrator or its delegate shall provide the claimant with a written notice of the extension prior to the commencement of the extension. The notice shall describe the special circumstances requiring the extension and the date as of which the final benefit determination shall be made. In the event that a period of time is extended due to a claimant’s failure to submit information necessary to decide a claim, the period for making the benefit determination on review shall be tolled from the date on which the notification of the extension is sent to the claimant until the date on which the claimant responds to the request for additional information. In the case of an adverse final benefit determination, the Administrator or its delegate shall provide to the claimant written or electronic notification setting forth in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant and in a culturally and linguistically appropriate manner: (i) the specific reason or reasons for the adverse final benefit determination; (ii) reference to the specific Plan provisions on which the adverse final benefit determination is based; (iii) a statement that the claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records and other information relevant to the claimant’s claim for benefits; (iv) a statement of the claimant’s right to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA following an adverse final benefit determination on review and mandatory arbitration in accordance with Section 10.3 below; (v) either the specific internal rules, guidelines, protocols, standards or other similar criteria of the Plan relied upon in making the adverse determination or a statement that such rules, guidelines, protocols, standards or other similar criteria of the Plan do not exist; (vi) if the determination is based on a medical necessity or experimental treatment or similar exclusion or limit, an explanation of the scientific or clinical judgment for the determination, applying the terms of the Plan to the claimant’s medical circumstances, or a statement that such explanation shall be provided free of charge upon request; (vii) a discussion of the decision, including an explanation of the basis for disagreeing with or not following: (a) the views presented by the claimant to the Plan of health care professionals treating the claimant and vocational professionals who evaluated the claimant; (b) the views of medical or vocational experts whose advice was obtained on behalf of the Plan in connection with a claimant’s adverse benefit determination, without regard to whether the advice was relied upon in making the benefit determination; and (c) a disability determination made by the Social Security Administration regarding the claimant presented by the claimant to the Plan; and (viii) the following statement: “You and your plan may have other voluntary alternative dispute resolution options, such as mediation. One way to find out what may be available is to contact your local U.S. Department of Labor Office and your State insurance regulatory agency.” As described above, there shall be only one level of review of an adverse benefit determination, followed by mandatory arbitration under Section 10.3, before a claimant may bring a civil action pursuant to Section 502 of ERISA.

18



7.1      Dispute Arbitration
(a)      Effective as to any claims filed on or after June 19, 2014, final and binding arbitration under this Section 7.3 shall be the sole remedy available to a claimant after he or she has exhausted the claim and review procedures set forth in Section 7.1. Furthermore, exhaustion by the claimant of the claim and review procedures set forth in Section 7.1 is a mandatory prerequisite for binding arbitration under this Section 7.3. Any arbitration or civil action brought prior to the exhaustion of the claim and review procedures set forth in Section 7.1 shall be remanded to the Administrator to permit the claim and review procedures to be exhausted.
(b)      After a claimant has exhausted the claim and review procedures set forth in Section 7.1, if the claimant is determined by the Administrator not to be eligible for benefits, or if the claimant believes that he or she is entitled to greater or different benefits, the claimant may submit his or her claim to final and binding arbitration under this Section 7.3.
Any arbitration under this Section 7.3 will be held in Los Angeles County, California, in accordance with the then-current JAMS Arbitration Rules and Procedures for Employment Disputes (“JAMS Rules”) and under the Federal Arbitration Act. The arbitration shall be before a sole arbitrator, selected by mutual agreement of the parties. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator, the arbitrator shall be selected by striking in accordance with the then-current JAMS Rules from a list of arbitrators supplied by JAMS. Any and all claims and/or defenses that would otherwise be available in a court of law will be fully available to the parties. The arbitrator selected pursuant to this paragraph (the “Arbitrator”) may order such discovery as is necessary for a full and fair exploration of the issues and dispute, consistent with the expedited nature of arbitration. The Arbitrator shall apply applicable substantive law to resolve the dispute. To the fullest extent provided by federal law, the decision rendered by the Administrator pursuant to the claim and review procedures set forth in Section 7.1 shall be upheld by the Arbitrator unless the Arbitrator determines that the Administrator abused its discretion. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if (1) a Change in Control occurs, then a claim review decision rendered by the Administrator within the three years following the Change in Control shall, if it is challenged by the claimant in accordance with this Section 7.3, be subject to de novo review by the Arbitrator, or (2) if the claimant is determined by the Administrator not to be eligible for benefits on account of the Administrator’s determination as to whether Cause, Disability or Good Reason exists, then such decision rendered by the Administrator as to whether Cause, Disability or Good Reason exists shall, if it is challenged by the claimant in accordance with this Section 7.3, be subject to de novo review by the Arbitrator. Subject to the applicable standard of review in the preceding two sentences, the Arbitrator may grant any award or relief available under applicable law that the Arbitrator deems just and equitable.
At the conclusion of the arbitration, the Arbitrator shall issue a written decision that sets forth the essential findings and conclusions upon which the Arbitrator’s award or decision is based. Any award or relief granted by the Arbitrator hereunder shall be final and binding on the parties hereto, and may be enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction. All costs unique to arbitration (e.g., the Arbitrator’s fees and room fees) shall be paid by the Administrator. The parties shall otherwise bear their own costs (e.g., attorneys’ fees, expert fees, witness fees, etc.).

19



If, however, any party prevails on a statutory claim that affords the prevailing party attorneys’ fees and costs, then the Arbitrator may award reasonable fees and costs to the prevailing party.
(c)      Notwithstanding any contrary provisions of this Section 7.3, if the claim is due to Disability, the following rules apply: (1) arbitration under this Section 7.3 shall be the mandatory second level of appeal following the exhaustion by the claimant of the claim and review procedures set forth in Section 7.2, and such exhaustion is a mandatory prerequisite for arbitration under this Section 7.3—any arbitration or civil action brought with respect to a claim due to Disability prior to the exhaustion of the claim and review procedures set forth in Section 7.2 shall be remanded to the Administrator to permit the claim and review procedures to be exhausted; (2) arbitration of a claim due to Disability under this Section 7.3 shall not be binding, and the claimant shall not be precluded from challenging the decision of the Arbitrator in a civil action brought pursuant to Section 502(a) of ERISA; and (3) except as specifically set forth in this Section 7.3(c), if the claim is due to Disability, the arbitration shall be conducted as set forth in Section 7.3(b).
ARTICLE 8
SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNMENT
8.1      Successors to an Employer
Subject to Section 8.2, each Employer will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise) of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Employer or of any division or subsidiary thereof (the business and/or assets of which constitute at least fifty percent (50%) of the total business and/or assets of the Employer) to expressly assume and agree to perform the Employer’s obligations under this Plan in the same manner and to the same extent that the Employer would be required to perform them if such succession had not taken place.
8.2      Sale, Spin-Off, or Liquidation of an Employer
Except as provided in the following two sentences, if EIX sells (regardless of whether pursuant to a stock sale or sale of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Employer), spins-off or liquidates an Employer (other than EIX), this Plan shall be deemed to have been terminated as to all Eligible Employees employed by that Employer and such Eligible Employees shall have no further rights under this Plan and shall have no right to any payment or benefits under this Plan in respect of such termination. If such a sale, spin-off or liquidation occurs after a Potential Change in Control has occurred (and the Board has not declared in good faith that the circumstances giving rise to the Potential Change in Control will not result in an actual Change in Control) or during a Protected Period, the preceding sentence shall not apply with respect to any Eligible Employee who was employed immediately prior to the Potential Change in Control or start of the Protected Period, as applicable, by EIX or an Employer other than the Employer that is sold, spun off, or liquidated. The first sentence of this Section 8.2 will not apply to an Eligible Employee if (i) the Employer has entered a written agreement with the Eligible Employee, (ii) the agreement has been approved by the CEO or the senior officer of EIX responsible for Human Resources (or by EIX’s director responsible for executive compensation

ARTICLE 10
MISCELLANEOUS
10.1      Release and Agreement
Notwithstanding anything else contained herein to the contrary, each Employer’s obligation to pay benefits to an Eligible Employee is subject to the condition precedent that the Eligible Employee execute, not later than 45 days after the Eligible Employee’s receipt of the Severance Agreement, a valid and effective Severance Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (or such other form, which is substantially the same as the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, as the Administrator may require) and such executed agreement is received by EIX and the Eligible Employee’s Employer no later than 52 days after the Eligible Employee’s receipt of the Severance Agreement and is not revoked by the Eligible Employee or otherwise rendered unenforceable by the Eligible Employee. EIX will provide the applicable form of Severance

22



Agreement to the Eligible Employee on or before the seventh day following the Eligible Employee’s Termination Date. EIX may modify the form of Severance Agreement from time to time to comply with applicable laws, rules and regulations. If the 45-day period for the Eligible Employee to consider the Severance Agreement plus any revocation period afforded by applicable law (together, the “Release Period”) spans two different calendar years, payment of the cash severance benefits pursuant to Section 2.3.1 (including any enhancement thereto pursuant to Section 2.4.1), shall be made within the period of time prescribed by Section 2.3.1 but in the second of those two calendar years and, to the extent required to avoid any tax, penalty or interest under Section 409A of the Code, any benefit payment or reimbursement pursuant to Sections 2.3.2 through 2.3.6 (including any enhancement thereto pursuant to Sections 2.4.1 and 2.4.2) that would otherwise be paid in the first of those two years shall not be paid until the second of those two years.
10.2      Term of the Plan
(a)      This Plan will commence on the Effective Date and shall continue in effect through December 31, 2009. However, at the end of such initial period and, if extended, at the end of each additional year thereafter, the term of this Plan shall be extended automatically for one additional year, unless the Administrator (or the Board) delivers written notice at least six months prior to the end of such term, or extended term, to each Eligible Employee that this Plan will not be extended, and if such notice is timely given this Plan will terminate at the end of the term then in progress; provided, however, that this provision for automatic extension shall have no application following a Potential Change in Control (unless and until the Board declares in good faith that the circumstances giving rise to the Potential Change in Control will not result in an actual Change in Control) or a Change in Control, in which case the provisions of Section 10.2(b) or Section 10.2(c), respectively, shall apply.
(b)      If a Potential Change in Control occurs, the Administrator (or the Board) may not give notice that the term of this Plan will not be extended, or will not be further extended, as the case may be, unless and until the Board declares in good faith that the circumstances giving rise to the Potential Change in Control will not result in an actual Change in Control or an actual Change in Control occurs.
(c)      In the event a Change in Control occurs during the initial or any extended term, this Plan will remain in effect for the longer of: twenty-four months beyond the month in which such Change in Control occurred; or
(1)      as to any Eligible Employee who incurs a Qualifying Termination Event, until all obligations of each Employer hereunder to that Eligible Employee have been fulfilled. Any subsequent Change in Control (“Subsequent Change in Control”) that occurs during the initial or any extended term shall also continue the term of this Plan until the later of:
(i)      twenty-four months beyond the month in which such Subsequent Change in Control occurred; or

23



(ii)      as to any Eligible Employee who incurs a Qualifying Termination Event, until all obligations of each Employer hereunder have been fulfilled to that Eligible Employee; provided, however, that if a Subsequent Change in Control occurs, it shall only be considered a Change in Control under this Plan if it occurs no later than twenty-four months after the immediately preceding Change in Control or Subsequent Change in Control.
(d)      The foregoing provisions of this Section 10.2 are subject to the provisions of Section 8.2 as to any Eligible Employee that is employed by an Employer that is sold or spun-off by EIX.
10.3      Employment Status
Except as may be provided under any other written agreement between an Eligible Employee and his or her Employer, the employment of the Eligible Employee by his or her Employer is “at will,” and may be terminated by either the Eligible Employee or the Employer at any time, subject to applicable law. Payments made under this Plan shall not give any person the right to any benefits provided to persons retained in an Employer’s employ (such as, without limitation, health and dental benefits). Except as may otherwise be required by law or set forth specifically in such plans or as otherwise expressly provided in this Plan, such benefits shall terminate as of the date the Eligible Employee’s employment by an Employer terminates.
10.4      Gender, Singular and Plural
All pronouns and variations thereof will be deemed to refer to the masculine, feminine, or neuter, as the identity of the person or persons may require. As the context may require, the singular may be read as the plural and the plural as the singular.
10.5      Validity
If any provision of the Plan is held invalid, void or unenforceable, the same will not affect, in any respect whatsoever, the validity of any other provisions of the Plan.
10.6      Modification
The Administrator or the Board may from time to time amend this Plan in any way it determines to be advisable; provided, however, that no such amendment shall be effective without the consent of each affected Eligible Employee (or the Eligible Employee’s legal representative) if it is adopted (a) after a Potential Change in Control (unless and until the Board determines in good faith that the circumstances giving rise to the Potential Change in Control will not result in an actual Change in Control or an actual Change in Control occurs), or (b) during a Protected Period. No provision of this Plan may be waived unless as to an Eligible Employee such waiver is agreed to in writing and signed by the Eligible Employee (or the Eligible Employee’s legal representative) and by an authorized member of the Administrator (or the Board) or its designee or legal representative.

24



10.7      Notice
For purposes of this Plan, notices, including Notice of Termination, and all other communications provided for in this Plan shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered or on the date stamped as received by the U.S. Postal Service for delivery by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid and addressed:
(a)      if to the Eligible Employee, to his or her latest address as reflected on the records of EIX or his or her Employer, and
(b)      if to an Employer, to the attention of EIX’s Corporate Secretary at the address of EIX’s principal executive offices; or to such other address as either party may furnish to the other in writing for the delivery of notices to that party, with specific reference to this Plan and the importance of the notice, except that a notice of change of address shall be effective only upon receipt by the other party.
10.8      Applicable Law
The Plan will be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of California except where the laws of California are preempted by ERISA.
10.9      WARN Act
Benefits payable under this Plan are intended to satisfy, where applicable, any EIX or other Employer’s obligations under the Federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (“WARN”) and any similar obligations that EIX or any other Employer may have under any successor or other federal or state severance pay or pay continuation benefit statute (“Similar Severance Pay Law”). If it is determined that severance or pay continuation obligations to or for the benefit of the Eligible Employee exist under WARN or Similar Severance Pay Law that are in addition to benefits payable under this Plan (the “Additional Payments”), then the Eligible Employee’s entitlement to benefits payable in cash pursuant to Section 2.3 or 2.4 shall be reduced by an aggregate amount equal to the aggregate Additional Payments that it is determined the Eligible Employee is entitled to receive, provided that the reduction shall not cause the Eligible Employee’s aggregate benefit pursuant to Section 2.3.1 (giving effect to any adjustment thereto pursuant to Section 2.4, if applicable under the circumstances) to be less than the applicable Minimum Benefit. The Eligible Employee shall repay any amounts paid under this Plan to which he or she was not entitled after giving effect to the preceding sentence.
10.10      Statutes and Regulations
Any reference to a statute or regulation herein shall include any successor to such statute or regulation.

17.      Governing Law
This Agreement shall be deemed to have been executed and delivered within the State of California, and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and governed by, the laws of the State of California without regard to principles of conflict of laws.
18.      Mandatory Arbitration
Except for the injunctive relief provided for in the last paragraph of this Section 18, any dispute or controversy between the Individual, on the one hand, and the Company (or any other Releasee), on the other hand, in any way arising out of, related to, or connected with this Agreement or the subject matter thereof, or arising out of or related to any other dispute between the Individual and the Company or any other member of the Company Group, now or in the future, shall be resolved through: (a) the claims and arbitration provisions contained in Article 7 of the Plan, to the extent the dispute or controversy involves the Severance Benefits or any other benefits under the Plan; (b) the claims and dispute resolution provisions of the applicable benefit plan, to the extent the dispute or controversy involves any claim not released under this Agreement with respect to a benefit plan that is (i) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any other member of the Company Group and (ii) subject to the Employee

A-8





Retirement Income Security Act of 1974; or (c) final and binding arbitration in accordance with the arbitration provisions in the following paragraph, for other disputes or controversies.
Any arbitration under this Section 18 will be held in Los Angeles County, California, in accordance with the then-current JAMS Arbitration Rules and Procedures for Employment Disputes (“JAMS Rules”) and under the Federal Arbitration Act. The arbitration shall be before a sole arbitrator, selected by mutual agreement of the parties. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator, the arbitrator shall be selected by striking in accordance with the then-current JAMS Rules from a list of arbitrators supplied by JAMS. Any and all claims and/or defenses that would otherwise be available in a court of law will be fully available to the parties. The arbitrator selected pursuant to this paragraph (the “Arbitrator”) may order such discovery as is necessary for a full and fair exploration of the issues and dispute, consistent with the expedited nature of arbitration. The Arbitrator shall apply applicable substantive law to resolve the dispute. At the conclusion of the arbitration, the Arbitrator shall issue a written decision that sets forth the essential findings and conclusions upon which the Arbitrator’s award or decision is based. Any award or relief granted by the Arbitrator hereunder shall be final and binding on the parties hereto, and may be enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction. All costs unique to arbitration (e.g., the Arbitrator’s fees and room fees) shall be paid by the Company. The parties shall otherwise bear their own costs (e.g., attorneys’ fees, expert fees, witness fees, etc.). If, however, any party prevails on a statutory claim that affords the prevailing party attorneys’ fees and costs, then the Arbitrator may award reasonable fees and costs to the prevailing party.
It is further agreed that the Company will or would suffer irreparable injury if the Individual were to breach Section 6 or 7 of this Agreement and that, regardless of the dispute resolution provisions set forth in the foregoing paragraphs, the Company would by reason of such breach or potential breach be entitled to injunctive relief in a court of appropriate jurisdiction, and the Individual further consents and stipulates to the entry of such injunctive relief in such a court prohibiting the Individual from engaging in any act, conduct, or relationship in violation of, or that would reasonably result in a violation of, this Agreement.

Exhibit 10.7

EDISON INTERNATIONAL
EXECUTIVE DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN
Amended and Restated Effective
June 19, 2014
(as amended)

PREAMBLE
Plan benefits are available to eligible executives and key management employees of Edison International and its participating affiliates. Amounts of compensation deferred by Participants pursuant to this Plan accrue as liabilities of the Employer under the terms and conditions set forth herein. Except as otherwise provided herein, by electing to defer compensation under the Edison International Executive Deferred Compensation Plan, Participants consent to Edison International sponsorship of the Plan, but acknowledge that Edison International is not a guarantor of the benefit obligations of other participating affiliates. Except as otherwise provided herein, each participating Edison International affiliate is responsible for payment of the accrued benefits under the Plan with respect to its own executives and key management employees subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.
This Plan only applies to deferrals of compensation that were earned and vested prior to January 1, 2005 in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.6 and 4.2 hereof. This Plan also includes provisions that were set forth in the Edison International Severance Plan as of October 3, 2004 but that applied to this Plan and are thus not material modifications of the Plan that would cause it to be subject to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
ARTICLE 1
DEFINITIONS
Capitalized terms in the text of the Plan are defined as follows:
Administrator means the Compensation and Executive Personnel Committee of the Board of Directors of EIX.
Affiliate means EIX or any corporation or entity which (i) along with EIX, is a component member of a "controlled group of corporations" within the meaning of Section 414(b) of the Code, and (ii) has approved the participation of its executives in the Plan.
Alternative Exercise means the exercise of all or a portion of a Qualifying Award in exchange for an amount equal to the gain that would otherwise have been realized by the Participant being credited under this Plan.
Alternative Exercise Agreement means an agreement entered into between EIX and an Eligible Employee in accordance with Article 2 pursuant to which the Eligible Employee elects to defer under this Plan the gain resulting from any subsequent exercise of the Qualifying Award.

Annual Deferral means the amount of Compensation which the Participant elects to defer for a calendar year pursuant to Articles 2 and 3 of the Plan.
Base Salary means the Participant's annual basic rate of pay from the Employer (excluding Bonus, special awards, commissions, severance pay, and other non-regular forms of compensation) before reductions for deferrals under the Plan or the SSPP.
Beneficial Owner shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in Rule 13d-3 of the General Rules and Regulations under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Beneficiary means the person or persons or entity designated as such in accordance with Article 14 of the Plan.
Board means the Board of Directors of the Company.
Bonus means the amount paid in cash to the Participant by the Employer in the form of an annual incentive award before reductions for deferrals under the Plan.
Cause means the occurrence of either or both of the following:
(1)
The Participant’s conviction for, or pleading guilty or nolo contendere to, committing an act of fraud, embezzlement, theft, or other act constituting a felony; or
(2)
The willful engaging by the Participant in misconduct that is:
(i)
if the event giving rise to the termination of the Participant’s employment does not occur during a Protected Period, in violation of the Company’s and/or the Participant’s Severance Employer’s policies and practices applicable to the Participant from time to time; or
(ii)
if the event giving rise to the termination of the Participant’s employment occurs during a Protected Period, that would have resulted in the termination of the Participant’s employment by the Company or the Participant’s Severance Employer under the Company’s and/or the Participant’s Severance Employer’s policies and practices applicable to the Participant in effect immediately prior to the start of the Protected Period. However, no act or failure to act, on the Participant’s part, shall be considered “willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, by the Participant not in good faith and without reasonable belief that his or her action or omission was in the best interest of the Company and his or her Severance Employer.
Change of Control means either: (i) the dissolution or liquidation of EIX or an Employer; (ii) a reorganization, merger or consolidation of EIX or an Employer with one or more corporations as a result of which EIX or an Employer is not the surviving corporation; (iii) approval by the stockholders of EIX or an Employer of any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer (in one or a series of transactions) of all or substantially all of the assets of EIX or an Employer; (iv) approval by the stockholders of EIX or an Employer of any merger or consolidation of EIX or an Employer, in which the holders of voting stock of EIX or an Employer immediately before the merger or consolidation will not own 50% or more of the outstanding voting shares of the continuing or surviving corporation immediately after the merger or consolidation; or (v) a change of at least 51% (rounded to the next whole person) in the membership of the Board of Directors of EIX or an

2



Employer within a 24-month period, unless the election or nomination for election by stockholders of each new director within the period was approved by the vote of at least 85% (rounded to the next whole person) of the directors then still in office who were in office at the beginning of the twenty-four-month period, except that any replacement of directors who are employees of EIX or an Employer, with other employees of EIX or an Employer, will be disregarded and not be considered a change in membership. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any reorganization, merger or consolidation of an Employer with EIX or another Employer will be disregarded and not be considered a Change of Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of the definition of Protected Period, “Change of Control” means any one or more of the following:
(1)
Any Person (other than a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company or a Company affiliate) becomes the Beneficial Owner, directly or indirectly, or securities of the Company representing thirty percent (30%) or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities. For purposes of this clause, “Person” (or “group” as used in the definition of Person) shall not include one or more underwriters acquiring newly-issued voting securities (or securities convertible into voting securities) directly from the Company with a view towards distribution;
(2)
On any day after January 1, 2001 (the “Measurement Date”) Continuing Directors cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the Board. A director is a “Continuing Director” if he or she either:

(ii)
was elected to the Board, or was nominated for election by the Company’s shareholders, by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Initial Directors then in office.
A member of the Board who was not a director on the applicable Initial Date shall be deemed to be an Initial Director for purposes of clause (ii) above if his or her election, or nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders, was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Initial Directors (including directors elected after the applicable Initial Date who are deemed to be Initial Directors by application of this provision) then in office. For these purposes, “Initial Date” means the date that is two years before the Measurement Date.
(3)
The Company is liquidated; all or substantially all of the Company’s assets are sold in one or a series of related transactions; or the Company is merged, consolidated, or reorganized with or involving any other corporation, other than a merger, consolidation, or reorganization that results in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company (or a surviving entity) outstanding immediately after such merger, consolidation, or reorganization. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a bankruptcy of the Company or a sale or spin-off of a Company subsidiary (short of a dissolution

3



of the Company or a liquidation of substantially all of the Company’s assets, determined on an aggregate basis) will not constitute a Change of Control of the Company.

An Eligible Employee will become a Participant in the Plan on the first day of the calendar year or the first day of the pay period coincident with or next following the date the employee became an Eligible Employee, provided the Eligible Employee has submitted to the Administrator a Participation Election prior to that date. Except for employees who become newly eligible during the calendar year, the Participation Election must be submitted to the Administrator during the enrollment period designated by the Administrator which will always be prior to the commencement of the calendar year.
(b)    Qualifying Awards. An Eligible Employee may also become a Participant in the Plan by electing to alternatively exercise all or a portion of a Qualifying Award as provided in Section 3.2.

2.3 Continuation of Participation

6



A Participant may not elect to defer Compensation under the Plan unless the Participant is an Eligible Employee for the calendar year for which the election is made. Once a Deferral Account balance has been established, the individual will continue as a Participant in the Plan until the Participant no longer has a Deferral Account balance under the Plan. In the event a Participant is later employed by an affiliated company that does not participate in the Plan, the Participant's Annual Deferral will cease, and the Participant's Deferral Account will remain in effect until such time as the benefits are distributed as elected on the Participant’s last valid Participation Election or Alternative Exercise Agreement.
ARTICLE 3
EMPLOYEE DEFERRALS
3.1 Participation Election
(a)    Annual Deferral. Eligible Employees may elect to make an Annual Deferral under the Plan by submitting a Participation Election during the applicable enrollment period. The Participant may designate a specified amount or a percentage of Base Salary to be deferred as a Primary Salary Deferral. The Participant may designate a specified amount, a percentage, or a whole percentage in excess of a specified amount of Bonus to be deferred. The Participant may also designate a percentage rate, up to the maximum deferral rate permitted under the SSPP, at which to defer additional amounts of Base Salary as Excess SSPP once the limits of SSPP contributions are reached as provided in Section 3.5. Once made, this Participation Election will continue to apply for subsequent Deferral Periods unless the Participant submits a new Participation Election form during a subsequent enrollment period changing the deferral amount or revoking the existing election. A Participation Election may be revoked by the Participant upon 30 days written notice to the Administrator; however, such Participant will be ineligible to make an Annual Deferral under the Plan for the following calendar year.
(b)    Minimum Annual Deferral. The minimum amount of Base Salary that may be designated as Primary Salary Deferral is $2,000. The minimum amount of Bonus that may be designated for deferral is $2,000. There is no minimum percentage.

Eligible Employees may elect to defer gains on future exercises of Qualified Awards by completing and executing an Alternative Exercise Agreement and submitting it to the Administrator. Such an election is irrevocable. The Alternative Exercise Agreement must specify the portion of the Qualifying Award that the Participant will alternatively exercise under this Plan. Acting through any of its officers, EIX will execute the Alternative Exercise Agreement and return a copy to the Participant. Subject to the limitations of Section 3.2(b), the Qualifying Award may be exercised by submitting a notice of Alternative Exercise on the form approved by the Administrator for that purpose.
(b)    Limited Ability to Exercise Qualifying Award. Any Qualifying Award (or portion thereof) which is subject to an Alternative Exercise Agreement may not be exercised at all during the six-

7



month period following the date the Administrator receives the Participant's Alternative Exercise Agreement. Upon any exercise thereafter, gains will be credited as provided under Section 5.2(c). The Qualifying Award remains subject to all applicable limitations as to the time or times during which it may be exercised as provided in the terms and conditions of the Qualifying Award.
(c)    Termination of Alternative Exercise Agreements. If, prior to the end of the six-month period described above, (i) a Participant’s employment with the Company (including any Subsidiary) is terminated, or (ii) unless the Committee otherwise provides, a Change of Control event occurs, the Participant's Alternative Exercise Agreement will terminate and the related Qualifying Award may then be exercised in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Qualifying Award without regard to the Alternative Exercise provisions.
(d)    Other Terms of Alternative Exercise Agreements. No Alternative Exercise Agreement will have the effect of extending the term or otherwise changing the terms of any Qualifying Award (except as expressly contemplated hereby in respect of the consequences of exercise). No Alternative Exercise Agreement may be amended or terminated except as specifically provided herein.
3.3 Deferral of Special Awards
At the discretion of the Employer, up to 100% of any special award made to an Employee for employment, retention, recognition, achievement, retirement, or severance may be deferred under this Plan subject to any additional terms and conditions the Employer may impose.
3.4 [Intentionally blank]
3.5 Excess SSPP
Notwithstanding the above maximum deferral limits, the Participant may elect to defer the receipt of additional amounts of Base Salary calculated by the Administrator that would have been contributed to the SSPP but for the limits upon SSPP contributions and benefits established by Sections 401(a)(17), 402(g) and 415 of the Code. Such amounts will be credited to the Participant's Deferral Account.
3.6 Vesting
The Participant's right to receive Compensation deferred under this Article 3 and any earnings thereon will be 100% vested at all times. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any special award deferred under Section 3.3 and any earnings thereon may be subject to vesting terms.
ARTICLE 4
MATCHING CREDITS
4.1 Amount
Matching Credits will be added by the Employer to the Participant's Deferral Account under this Plan equal to (i) one-half of the amount of Base Salary deferred under the Plan up to a maximum base salary Matching Credit equal to 3% of the Participant’s Matching Base, plus (ii) one-half of the amount of Bonus deferred under the Plan up to a maximum bonus Matching Credit equal to 3% of the Bonus.

5.2 Timing of Credits
(a)    Annual Deferrals. The Administrator will credit to the Deferral Account the Annual Deferrals under Article 3 at the time the deferrals would otherwise have been paid to the Participant but for the Participation Election.
(b)    Matching Credits. Until vested, Matching Credits under Article 4 will be conditionally credited to the Deferral Account at the same time the related deferrals are credited to the Deferral Account.
(c)    Qualifying Award Gains. As of the Alternative Exercise date of a Qualifying Award, a Participant’s Deferral Account will be credited with an amount equal to the gain that would have been realized by the Participant had the Qualifying Award been exercised without regard to the Alternative Exercise Agreement.
(d)    Interest Crediting Dates. The Administrator will credit interest at the Crediting Rate to the Participant's Deferral Account on a daily basis, compounded annually.
(e)    Statement of Accounts. The Administrator will periodically provide to each Participant a statement setting forth the balance of the Deferral Account maintained for the Participant.
ARTICLE 6
RETIREMENT BENEFITS
6.1 Amount
Upon Retirement, the Employer will pay to the Participant a retirement benefit in the form provided in Section 6.2, based on the balance of the Deferral Account as of the Valuation Date in accordance with the Participant’s prior elections. If paid as a lump sum, the retirement benefit will be equal to the Deferral Account balance. If paid in installments, the installments will be paid in amounts that will amortize the Deferral Account balance with interest credited at the Crediting Rate over the period of time benefits are to be paid. For purposes of calculating installments, the Deferral Account will be valued as of December 31 each year, and the subsequent installments will be adjusted for the next calendar year according to procedures established by the Administrator.
6.2 Form of Retirement Benefits
The Participant may elect on the Participation Election and the Alternative Exercise Agreement to have the retirement benefit paid:

9



(i)
In a lump sum,
(ii)
In installments paid monthly over a period of 60, 120, or 180 months, or
(iii)
In a lump sum of a portion of the Deferral Account upon Retirement with the balance in installments paid monthly over a period of 60, 120, or 180 months.
If no valid election is made, the Administrator will pay the retirement benefit in installments over a 180-month period. Participants may change the form of payout by written election filed with the Administrator; provided, however, that if the Participant files the election less than 13 months prior to the date of Retirement, the payout election in effect 13 months prior to the date of Retirement will govern.
6.3 Commencement of Benefits
Payments will commence within 60 days after the date of Retirement.
6.4 Small Benefit Exception
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion:
(i)
pay the benefits in a single lump sum if the sum of all benefits payable to the Participant is less than or equal to $3,500.00, or
(ii)
reduce the number of installments elected by the Participant to 120 or 60 if necessary to produce a monthly benefit of at least $300.00.
6.5 Severance Benefit
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if a Participant is terminated by the Severance Employer without Cause (and other than due to the Participant’s Disability), the Participant may, on such form and in such manner as EIX may prescribe, make a Severance Plan Benefit Election:
(a)
to commence payment of his or her benefits as soon as administratively practicable following his or her Termination Date or as soon as administratively practicable following the later of his or her Termination Date or his or her attainment of age 55 and
(b)
to specify the form of payment from among those otherwise available under the Plan for a termination due to retirement or resignation. The Participant’s special Severance Plan Benefit Election shall be effective only if the Participant’s account balance is at least $50,000 on the Participant’s Termination Date and only if such election is received by EIX at least 90 days before the Participant’s Termination Date. If the Participant does not timely make a valid Severance Plan Benefit Election, or if the Participant’s account balance is less than $50,000 on the Participant’s Termination Date, then the Participant’s benefit (if any) will be paid as soon as practicable following the Participant’s Termination Date in the form of a lump sum or three annual installments in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and the Participant’s prior election (if any). In any case, the Participant’s unpaid account balance will be credited with interest following his or her Termination Date at the same rate that is applicable to active employees’ accounts.
ARTICLE 7
TERMINATION BENEFITS

10



7.1 Amount
No later than 60 days after Termination of Employment, the Administrator will pay to the Participant a termination benefit equal to the vested balance of the Deferral Account as of the Valuation Date, or will commence installments, as provided in Section 7.2.
7.2 Form of Termination Benefits
The Administrator will pay the termination benefits in a single lump sum unless the Participant has previously elected payment to be made in three annual installments. Installments paid under this Section 7.2 will include interest at the Crediting Rate and will be redetermined annually to reflect adjustments in that rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Termination for Cause will result in an immediate lump sum payout.
ARTICLE 8
SURVIVOR BENEFITS
8.1 Pre-Retirement Survivor Benefit
If the Participant dies while actively employed by an Affiliate, the Administrator will pay a lump sum or commence monthly installments in accordance with the Participant’s prior election within 60 days after the Participant's death. The payment(s) will be based on the Participant's Deferral Account balance as of the Valuation Date; provided however, that if the Participant’s death occurs within ten years of (i) the date he or she first became an Eligible Employee, or (ii) January 1, 1995, whichever is later, then the Beneficiary’s payment(s) will be based on twice the Participant’s Deferral Account balance as of the Valuation Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the portion of the Deferral Account balance attributable to Alternative Exercises of Qualifying Awards and related earnings will not be doubled.
8.2 Post-Retirement Survivor Benefit
If the Participant dies after Retirement, the Administrator will pay to the Participant's Beneficiary an amount equal to the remaining benefits payable to the Participant under the Plan over the same period the benefits would have been paid to the Participant; provided however, if the Participant’s death occurs within ten years of (i) the date he or she first became an Eligible Employee, or (ii) January 1, 1995, whichever is later, then the Beneficiary’s death benefit will be based on twice the Participant’s Deferral Account balance as of the Valuation Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the portion of the Deferral Account balance attributable to Alternative Exercises of Qualifying Awards and related earnings will not be doubled.
8.3 Post-Termination Survivor Benefit
It the Participant dies following Termination of Employment, but prior to the payment of all benefits under the Plan, the Beneficiary will be paid the remaining balance in the Participant’s account in a lump sum. No double benefit will apply.
8.4 Changing Form of Benefit
Beneficiaries may petition the Administrator once, and only after the death of the Participant, for a change in the form of survivor benefits. The Administrator may, in its sole and absolute discretion, choose to grant or deny such a petition.

11



8.5 Small Benefit Exception
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion:
(i)
pay the benefits in a single lump sum if the sum of all benefits payable to the Beneficiary is less than or equal to $3,500.00, or
(ii)
reduce the number of installments elected by the Participant to 120 or 60 if necessary to produce a monthly benefit of at least $300.00.
ARTICLE 9
DISABILITY
Upon determination that a Participant has suffered a Disability, deferrals under the Plan will cease. The Administrator will pay Plan benefits upon the Participant’s Retirement or death according to the Participant's prior election.
ARTICLE 10
CHANGE OF CONTROL
Within two years after a Change of Control, any Participant or Beneficiary in the case of an EIX Change of Control, or the affected Participants or Beneficiaries in the case of an Employer Change of Control, may elect to receive a distribution of the balance of the Deferral Account. There will be a penalty deducted from the Deferral Account prior to distribution pursuant to this Article 10 equal to 5% of the total balance of the Deferral Account (instead of the 10% reduction otherwise provided for in Section 11.2). If a Participant elects such a withdrawal, any on-going Annual Deferral will cease, and the Participant may not again be designated as an Eligible Employee until one entire calendar year following the calendar year in which the withdrawal was made has elapsed.
ARTICLE 11
SCHEDULED AND UNSCHEDULED WITHDRAWALS
11.1 Scheduled Withdrawals
(a)    Election. When submitting a Participation Election or an Alternative Exercise Agreement, a Participant may elect to receive a distribution of a specific dollar amount or a percentage of the Annual Deferral or Qualifying Award gain deferral that will subsequently be made at a specified year in the future when the Participant will still be an active employee. In the case of Annual Deferrals, the election must be made on an In-Service Distribution Election Form and submitted concurrently with the Participation Election. In the case of Qualifying Awards, the election must be made on the Alternative Exercise Agreement at the time it is initially submitted to the Administrator. The election of a Scheduled Withdrawal will only apply to the Annual Deferral, Matching Credits and related earnings for that Deferral Period, or the Qualified Award gain specified on the Alternative Exercise Agreement and related earnings.
(b)    Timing and Form of Withdrawal. The year specified for the Scheduled Withdrawal may not be sooner than the second calendar year following the calendar year in which the deferral occurs, or in the case of Alternative Exercise Agreement, no sooner than the second calendar year following the calendar year in which the Qualifying Award is Alternatively Exercised. The Participant will

12



receive a lump sum distribution of the amount elected on January 1st of the calendar year specified. Any Scheduled Withdrawal election will be superseded by distributions due to the Retirement, Termination of Employment or death of the Participant.
(c)    Remaining Deferral Account. The remainder, if any, of the Participant's Deferral Account following payment of a Scheduled Withdrawal will continue in effect and will be distributed in the future according to the terms of the Plan and the Participant’s elections.
11.2 Unscheduled Withdrawals
(a)    Election. A Participant (or Beneficiary if the Participant is deceased) may request in writing to the Administrator an Unscheduled Withdrawal of all or a portion of the entire vested amount credited to the Participant's Deferral Account, including earnings, which will be paid within 30 days in a single lump sum; provided, however, that (i) the minimum withdrawal will be 25% of the Deferral Account balance, (ii) an election to withdraw 75% or more of the balance will be deemed to be an election to withdraw the entire balance, and (iii) such an election may be made only once in a calendar year.
(b)    Withdrawal Penalty. There will be a penalty deducted from the Deferral Account prior to an Unscheduled Withdrawal equal to 10% of the Unscheduled Withdrawal. If a Participant elects such a withdrawal, any on-going Annual Deferral will cease, and the Participant may not again be designated as an Eligible Employee until one entire calendar year following the calendar year in which the withdrawal was made has elapsed.
(c)    Small Benefit Exception. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, if the sum of all benefits payable to the Participant or Beneficiary who has requested the Unscheduled Withdrawal is less than or equal to $3,500.00, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, elect to pay out the entire Deferral Account (reduced by the 10% penalty) in a single lump sum.
ARTICLE 12
CONDITIONS RELATED TO BENEFITS
12.1 Nonassignability
The benefits provided under the Plan may not be alienated, assigned, transferred, pledged or hypothecated by or to any person or entity, at any time or any manner whatsoever. These benefits will be exempt from the claims of creditors of any Participant or other claimants and from all orders, decrees, levies, garnishment or executions against any Participant to the fullest extent allowed by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the benefit payable to a Participant may be assigned in full or in part, pursuant to a domestic relations order of a court of competent jurisdiction.
12.2 Financial Hardship Distribution
A Participant may submit a hardship distribution request to the Administrator in writing setting forth the reasons for the request. The Administrator (or its delegate) will have the sole authority to approve or deny such requests. Upon a finding that the Participant or the Beneficiary has suffered a Financial Hardship, the Administrator (or its delegate) may in its discretion, permit the Participant to cease any on-going deferrals and accelerate distributions of benefits under the Plan in the amount reasonably necessary to alleviate the Financial Hardship. If a distribution is to be made to a Participant on account of Financial Hardship, the Participant may not make deferrals under the Plan

13



until one entire calendar year following the calendar year in which a distribution based on Financial Hardship was made has elapsed.
12.3 No Right to Assets
A Participant’s benefits paid under the Plan will be paid from the general funds of the Employer, and the Participant and any Beneficiary will be no more than unsecured general creditors of that Employer with no special or prior right to any assets of the Employer for payment of any obligations hereunder. The Participant will have no claim to benefits from any other Affiliate. Each Affiliate is responsible for payment of the accrued benefits the Plan with respect to its own Eligible Employees subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in the definition of “Employer” to the contrary, and at the sole discretion of EIX, EIX may determine that for purposes of benefits payable under the Plan, EIX shall be deemed to be the Employer obligated to pay such benefits. Such an election by EIX may be made, in EIX’s sole discretion, as to all Plan benefits, as to only certain benefits, and/or as to only certain Affiliates or Participants, and will be deemed an assumption of the specified benefit obligations of the applicable Affiliates. Subject to the further provisions hereof, EIX will be solely obligated to pay any such benefits and no Participant (or Beneficiary) will have a claim as to any other Affiliate with respect to such benefits. Upon an election by EIX under this Section 12.3, benefits covered by the election will be paid from the general funds of EIX (and not the Affiliate that would otherwise pay the benefits), provided that EIX may require that as between EIX and the Affiliate that would otherwise pay such benefits, the Affiliate will be responsible to pay EIX for the assumption of such obligations in accordance with funding arrangements determined by EIX at the time of election or any time thereafter. To the extent such Affiliate fails to comply with such funding arrangements or obtains any refund or offset of payments made from the Affiliate to EIX without the consent of EIX, the Affiliate that would otherwise be responsible for payment of benefits to the applicable Participant will remain responsible for such benefits. EIX will effectuate any such election pursuant to this Section 12.3 by providing written notice to the Administrator and the applicable Affiliates regarding the effective date of such election, and the benefits, Affiliates and Participants for which the election is applicable. The funding arrangements established by EIX at the time of its election, or from time to time thereafter, will set forth the method by which the Affiliates will remit funds to EIX in consideration of compensation that would otherwise be paid by the Affiliate but which has been deferred and is or becomes a Plan benefit obligation of EIX or other Plan benefit obligations that are assumed by EIX. Such a method may include, but is not limited to, lump sum payment by an Affiliate to EIX of relevant benefits accrued through the date of EIX’s election with regular periodic payments to EIX of continuing accruals; regular periodic payments by an Affiliate to EIX beginning with the date of EIX’s election through the date such benefits become due under the Plan; lump sum payment by an Affiliate to EIX at the time benefits become due under the Plan; or intercompany payables and receivables used with funding on a “pay-as-you-go” basis.
12.4 Protective Provisions
The Participant will cooperate with the Administrator by furnishing any and all information requested by the Administrator, in order to facilitate the payment of benefits hereunder, taking such physical examinations as the Administrator may deem necessary and signing such consents to insure or taking such other actions as may be requested by the Administrator. If the Participant refuses to

14



cooperate, the Administrator and the Employer will have no further obligation to the Participant under the Plan.
12.5 Withholding
The Participant or the Beneficiary will make appropriate arrangements with the Administrator for satisfaction of any federal, state or local income tax withholding requirements and Social Security or other employee tax requirements applicable to the payment of benefits under the Plan. If no other arrangements are made, the Administrator may provide, at its discretion, for such withholding and tax payments as may be required.
ARTICLE 13
PLAN ADMINISTRATION
The Administrator will administer the Plan and interpret, construe and apply its provisions in accordance with its terms and will provide direction and oversight as necessary to management, staff, or contractors to whom day-to-day Plan operations may be delegated. The Administrator will establish, adopt or revise such rules and regulations as it may deem necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan. All decisions of the Administrator will be final and binding.
ARTICLE 14
BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION
The Participant will have the right, at any time, to designate any person or persons as Beneficiary (both primary and contingent) to whom payment under the Plan will be made in the event of the Participant's death. The Beneficiary designation will be effective when it is submitted in writing to the Administrator during the Participant's lifetime on a form prescribed by the Administrator.
The submission of a new Beneficiary designation will cancel all prior Beneficiary designations. Any finalized divorce or marriage of a Participant subsequent to the date of a Beneficiary designation will revoke such designation, unless in the case of divorce the previous spouse was not designated as Beneficiary, and unless in the case of marriage the Participant's new spouse has previously been designated as Beneficiary. The spouse of a married Participant must consent in writing to any designation of a Beneficiary other than the spouse.
If a Participant fails to designate a Beneficiary as provided above, or if the Beneficiary designation is revoked by marriage, divorce, or otherwise without execution of a new designation, or if every person designated as Beneficiary predeceases the Participant or dies prior to complete distribution of the Participant's benefits, then the Administrator will direct the distribution of the benefits to the Participant's estate. If a Beneficiary dies after commencement of payments to the Beneficiary, a lump sum of any remaining payments will be paid to that person’s Beneficiary, if one has been designated, or to the Beneficiary’s estate.
ARTICLE 15
AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF PLAN
15.1 Amendment of Plan

15



Subject to the terms of Section 15.3, EIX may amend the Plan at any time in whole or in part, provided, however, that the amendment (i) will not decrease the balance of the Participant's Deferral Account at the time of the amendment and (ii) will not retroactively decrease the applicable Crediting Rates of the Plan prior to the time of the amendment. EIX may amend the Crediting Rates of the Plan prospectively, in which case the Administrator will notify the Participant of the amendment in writing within 30 days after the amendment.
15.2 Termination of Plan
Subject to the terms of Section 15.3, EIX may terminate the Plan at any time. If EIX terminates the Plan, the date of such termination will be treated as the date of Termination of Employment for the purpose of calculating Plan benefits, and the benefits the Participant is entitled to receive under the Plan will be paid to the Participant in a lump sum within 60 days.
15.3 Amendment or Termination After Change of Control
Notwithstanding the foregoing, EIX will not amend or terminate the Plan without the prior written consent of affected Participants for a period of two calendar years following a Change of Control and will not thereafter amend or terminate the Plan in any manner which affects any Participant (or Beneficiary of a deceased Participant) who commences receiving payment of benefits under the Plan prior to the end of the two year period following a Change of Control.
15.4 Exercise of Power to Amend or Terminate
Except as provided in Section 15.3, EIX’s power to amend or terminate the Plan will be exercisable by the Compensation and Executive Personnel Committee of EIX’s Board of Directors.
15.5 Constructive Receipt Termination
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, in the event the Administrator determines that amounts deferred under the Plan have been constructively received by Participants and must be recognized as income for federal income tax purposes, the Plan will terminate and distributions will be made to Participants in accordance with the provisions of Section 15.2 or as may be determined by the Administrator. The determination of the Administrator under this Section 15.5 will be binding and conclusive.
ARTICLE 16
CLAIMS AND REVIEW PROCEDURES
16.1 Claims Procedure for Claims other than for Vesting due to Disability
(a)    Except for claims due to Disability, the Administrator will notify a Participant or his or her Beneficiary (or person submitting a claim on behalf of the Participant or Beneficiary) (a “Claimant”) in writing, within 90 days after his or her written application for benefits, of his or her eligibility or noneligibility for benefits under the Plan. If the Administrator determines that a Claimant is not eligible for benefits or full benefits, the notice will set forth (1) the specific reasons for the denial, (2) a specific reference to the provisions of the Plan on which the denial is based, (3) a description of any additional information or material necessary for the claimant to perfect his or her claim, and a description of why it is needed, and (4) an explanation of the Plan's claims review procedure and other appropriate information as to the steps to be taken if the Claimant wishes to have the claim

16



reviewed. If the Administrator determines that there are special circumstances requiring additional time to make a decision, the Administrator will notify the Claimant of the special circumstances and the date by which a decision is expected to be made, and may extend the time for up to an additional 90-day period.
(b)    If a Claimant is determined by the Administrator not to be eligible for benefits, or if the Claimant believes that he or she is entitled to greater or different benefits, the Claimant will have the opportunity to have the claim reviewed by the Administrator by filing a petition for review with the Administrator within 60 days after receipt of the notice issued by the Administrator. Said petition will state the specific reasons which the Claimant believes entitle him or her to benefits or to greater or different benefits. Within 60 days after receipt by the Administrator of the petition, the Administrator will afford the Claimant (and counsel, if any) an opportunity to present his or her position to the Administrator orally or in writing, and the Claimant (or counsel) will have the right to review the pertinent documents. The Administrator will notify the Claimant of its decision in writing within the 60-day period, stating specifically the basis of its decision, written in a manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant and the specific provisions of the Plan on which the decision is based. If, due to special circumstances (for example, because of the need for a hearing), the 60-day period is not sufficient, the decision may be deferred for up to another 60-day period at the election of the Administrator, but notice of this deferral will be given to the Claimant. In the event of the death of the Claimant, the same procedures will apply to the Claimant's Beneficiaries.
16.2 Claims Procedure for Claims due to Disability
(a)    For purposes of Section 16.1, this Section 16.2 and Section 16.3, a claim shall not be considered to be due to Disability if the existence of the Participant’s Disability is determined by reference to whether the Participant is eligible for benefits under his or her Severance Employer’s long-term disability plan applicable to the Participant, as determined by the Severance Employer. A claim due to Disability will be approved or denied by the Administrator or its delegate, as it deems appropriate in its discretion, based on its interpretation of the Plan, medical evidence, and the analysis and conclusions of a physician selected by the Administrator or its delegate. Within a reasonable period of time, but not later than 45 days after receipt of a claim due to Disability, the Administrator or its delegate shall notify the Claimant of any adverse benefit determination on the claim, unless circumstances beyond the Plan’s control require an extension of time for processing the claim. Except as contemplated by this Section 16.2, in no event may the extension period exceed 30 days from the end of the initial 45-day period. If an extension is necessary, the Administrator or its delegate shall provide the Claimant with a written notice to this effect prior to the expiration of the initial 45-day period. The notice shall describe the circumstances requiring the extension and the date by which the Administrator or its delegate expects to render a determination on the claim. If, prior to the end of the first 30-day extension period, the Administrator or its delegate determines that, due to circumstances beyond the control of the Plan, a decision cannot be rendered within that extension period, the period for making the determination may be extended for an additional 30 days, so long as the Administrator or its delegate notifies the Claimant, prior to the expiration of the first 30-day extension period, of the circumstances requiring the extension and the date as of which the Administrator or its delegate expects to render a decision. This notice of extension shall specifically describe the standards on which entitlement to a benefit is based, the unresolved issues that prevent a decision on the claim, and the additional information needed to resolve those issues, and that the Claimant has at least 45 days within which to provide the specified information.

17



Furthermore, in the event that a period of time is extended as permitted due to a Claimant’s failure to submit information necessary to decide a claim, the period for making the benefit determination shall be tolled from the date on which the notification of the extension is sent to the Claimant until the date on which the Claimant responds to the request for additional information.
(b)    In the case of an adverse benefit determination, the Administrator or its delegate shall provide to the Claimant written or electronic notification setting forth in a manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant in a culturally and linguistically appropriate manner: (i) the specific reason or reasons for the adverse benefit determination; (ii) reference to the specific Plan provisions on which the adverse benefit determination is based; (iii) a description of any additional material or information necessary for the Claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of why the material or information is necessary; (iv) a description of the Plan’s claim review procedures and the time limits applicable to such procedures, including a statement of the Claimant’s right to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA following an adverse final benefit determination on review and in accordance with Section 16.2(c) below; (v) either the specific internal rules, guidelines, protocols, standards or other similar criteria of the Plan relied upon in making the adverse determination or a statement that such rules, guidelines, protocols, standards or other similar criteria of the Plan do not exist; (vi) if the determination is based on a medical necessity or experimental treatment or similar exclusion or limit, either an explanation of the scientific or clinical judgment for the determination, applying the terms of the Plan to the Claimant’s medical circumstances, or a statement that such explanation shall be provided free of charge upon request; (vii) a statement that the Claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the Claimant’s claim for benefits; and (viii) a discussion of the decision, including an explanation of the basis for disagreeing with or not following: (a) the views presented by the Claimant to the Plan of health care professionals treating the Claimant and vocational professionals who evaluated the Claimant; (b) the views of medical or vocational experts whose advice was obtained on behalf of the Plan in connection with a Claimant’s adverse benefit determination, without regard to whether the advice was relied upon in making the benefit determination; and (c) a disability determination made by the Social Security Administration regarding the Claimant presented by the Claimant to the Plan.
(c)    Any good-faith determination by the Administrator or its delegate will be final and binding on the Plan and the Claimant unless appealed in accordance with this Section 16.2(c). Within 180 days after receipt by the Claimant of notification of the adverse benefit determination, the Claimant or the Claimant’s duly authorized representative, upon written application to the Administrator, may request that the Plan fully and fairly review the adverse benefit determination (also sometimes referred to herein as an “appeal”). Upon request and free of charge, the Claimant pursuing an appeal shall have reasonable access to, and be provided copies of, all documents, records and other information relevant to the Claimant’s claim for benefits. The Claimant shall have the opportunity to submit written comments, documents, records, and other information relating to the claim for benefits. The review: (i) shall take into account all comments, documents, records, and other information submitted regardless of whether the information was previously submitted or considered in the initial adverse benefit determination; (ii) shall not afford deference to the initial adverse benefit determination; (iii) shall be conducted, at the direction of the Administrator, by an appropriate fiduciary of the Plan who is neither the individual who made the adverse benefit determination that is the subject of the review, nor the subordinate of such individual; (iv) shall identify medical and

18



vocational experts whose advice was obtained on behalf of the Plan in connection with the initial adverse benefit determination, without regard to whether the advice was relied upon in making the benefit determination; and (v) where based in whole or in part on medical evidence or medical judgment, including determinations with regard to whether a particular treatment, drug, or other item is experimental, investigational, or not medically necessary or appropriate, shall include consultation with a physician, with appropriate training and experience in the field of medicine involved in the medical judgment, who was neither consulted in connection with the initial adverse benefit determination, nor the subordinate of any such professional.
The appeal will then be approved or denied by the Administrator or its delegate, as it deems appropriate, based on its interpretation of the Plan in light of the medical evidence.
Before an adverse benefit determination on review of a claim due to Disability is issued, the Claimant shall be provided, free of charge, with any new or additional evidence considered, relied upon, or generated by the Administrator or its delegate making the benefit determination (or at the direction of the Administrator) in connection with the claim; such evidence will be provided as soon as possible and sufficiently in advance of the date on which the notice of adverse benefit determination on review is required to be provided to give the Claimant a reasonable opportunity to respond prior to that date.
Also before an adverse benefit determination on review based on a new or additional rationale is issued, the Claimant shall be provided, free of charge, the rationale; the rationale must be provided as soon as possible and sufficiently in advance of the date on which the notice of adverse benefit determination on review is required to be provided to give the Claimant a reasonable opportunity to respond prior to that date.
A final benefit determination will be made by the Administrator or its delegate, and the Administrator or its delegate shall provide the Claimant with written or electronic notification of the final benefit determination within a reasonable period of time, but no later than 45 days immediately following receipt of Claimant’s request for review, unless special circumstances require a further extension of time for processing the claim, which extension may be up to an additional 45 days. If such an extension of time for review is required because of special circumstances, the Administrator or its delegate shall provide the Claimant with a written notice of the extension prior to the commencement of the extension. The notice shall describe the special circumstances requiring the extension and the date as of which the final benefit determination shall be made. In the event that a period of time is extended due to a Claimant’s failure to submit information necessary to decide a claim, the period for making the benefit determination on review shall be tolled from the date on which the notification of the extension is sent to the Claimant until the date on which the Claimant responds to the request for additional information. In the case of an adverse final benefit determination, the Administrator or its delegate shall provide to the Claimant written or electronic notification setting forth in a manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant and in a culturally and linguistically appropriate manner: (i) the specific reason or reasons for the adverse final benefit determination; (ii) reference to the specific Plan provisions on which the adverse final benefit determination is based; (iii) a statement that the Claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records and other information relevant to the Claimant’s claim for benefits; (iv) a statement of the Claimant’s right to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of

19



ERISA following an adverse final benefit determination on review and mandatory arbitration in accordance with Section 16.3 below; (v) either the specific internal rules, guidelines, protocols, standards or other similar criteria of the Plan relied upon in making the adverse determination or a statement that such rules, guidelines, protocols, standards or other similar criteria of the Plan do not exist; (vi) if the determination is based on a medical necessity or experimental treatment or similar exclusion or limit, an explanation of the scientific or clinical judgment for the determination, applying the terms of the Plan to the Claimant’s medical circumstances, or a statement that such explanation shall be provided free of charge upon request; (vii) a discussion of the decision, including an explanation of the basis for disagreeing with or not following: (a) the views presented by the Claimant to the Plan of health care professionals treating the Claimant and vocational professionals who evaluated the Claimant; (b) the views of medical or vocational experts whose advice was obtained on behalf of the Plan in connection with a Claimant’s adverse benefit determination, without regard to whether the advice was relied upon in making the benefit determination; and (c) a disability determination made by the Social Security Administration regarding the Claimant presented by the Claimant to the Plan; and (viii) the following statement: “You and your plan may have other voluntary alternative dispute resolution options, such as mediation. One way to find out what may be available is to contact your local U.S. Department of Labor Office and your State insurance regulatory agency.” As described above, there shall be only one level of review of an adverse benefit determination, followed by mandatory arbitration under Section 16.3, before a Claimant may bring a civil action pursuant to Section 502 of ERISA.
16.3 Dispute Arbitration
(a)    Effective as to any claims filed on or after June 19, 2014, final and binding arbitration under this Section 16.3 shall be the sole remedy available to a Claimant after he or she has exhausted the claim and review procedures set forth in Section 16.1. Furthermore, exhaustion by the Claimant of the claim and review procedures set forth in Section 16.1 is a mandatory prerequisite for binding arbitration under this Section 16.3. Any arbitration or civil action brought prior to the exhaustion of the claim and review procedures set forth in Section 16.1 shall be remanded to the Administrator to permit the claim and review procedures to be exhausted.
(b)    After a Claimant has exhausted the claim and review procedures set forth in Section 16.1, if the Claimant is determined by the Administrator not to be eligible for benefits, or if the Claimant believes that he or she is entitled to greater or different benefits, the Claimant may submit his or her claim to final and binding arbitration under this Section 16.3.
Any arbitration under this Section 16.3 will be held in Los Angeles County, California, in accordance with the then-current JAMS Arbitration Rules and Procedures for Employment Disputes (“JAMS Rules”) and under the Federal Arbitration Act. The arbitration shall be before a sole arbitrator, selected by mutual agreement of the parties. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator, the arbitrator shall be selected by striking in accordance with the then-current JAMS Rules from a list of arbitrators supplied by JAMS. Any and all claims and/or defenses that would otherwise be available in a court of law will be fully available to the parties. The arbitrator selected pursuant to this paragraph (the “Arbitrator”) may order such discovery as is necessary for a full and fair exploration of the issues and dispute, consistent with the expedited nature of arbitration. The Arbitrator shall apply applicable substantive law to resolve the dispute. To the fullest extent provided by federal law, the decision rendered by the Administrator pursuant to the claim and review

20



procedures set forth in Section 16.1 shall be upheld by the Arbitrator unless the Arbitrator determines that the Administrator abused its discretion. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if a Change of Control occurs, then a claim review decision rendered by the Administrator within the three years following the Change of Control shall, if it is challenged by the claimant in accordance with this Section 16.3, be subject to de novo review by the Arbitrator. Subject to the applicable standard of review in the preceding two sentences, the Arbitrator may grant any award or relief available under applicable law that the Arbitrator deems just and equitable.
At the conclusion of the arbitration, the Arbitrator shall issue a written decision that sets forth the essential findings and conclusions upon which the Arbitrator's award or decision is based. Any award or relief granted by the Arbitrator hereunder shall be final and binding on the parties hereto, and may be enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction. All costs unique to arbitration (e.g., the Arbitrator’s fees and room fees) shall be paid by the Administrator. The parties shall otherwise bear their own costs (e.g., attorneys’ fees, expert fees, witness fees, etc.). If, however, any party prevails on a statutory claim that affords the prevailing party attorneys’ fees and costs, then the Arbitrator may award reasonable fees and costs to the prevailing party.
(c)    Notwithstanding any contrary provisions of this Section 16.3, if the claim is due to Disability, the following rules apply: (1) arbitration under this Section 16.3 shall be the mandatory second level of appeal following the exhaustion by the Claimant of the claim and review procedures set forth in Section 16.2, and such exhaustion is a mandatory prerequisite for arbitration under this Section 16.3—any arbitration or civil action brought with respect to a claim due to Disability prior to the exhaustion of the claim and review procedures set forth in Section 16.2 shall be remanded to the Administrator to permit the claim and review procedures to be exhausted; (2) arbitration of a claim due to Disability under this Section 16.3 shall not be binding, and the Claimant shall not be precluded from challenging the decision of the Arbitrator in a civil action brought pursuant to Section 502(a) of ERISA; and (3) except as specifically set forth in this Section 16.3(c), if the claim is due to Disability, the arbitration shall be conducted as set forth in Section 16.3(b).

DEFERRAL ELECTIONS
2.1
Elections
(a)    Salary. An Eligible Employee may elect to defer Salary under the Plan by submitting a Salary Deferral Election to the Administrator specifying the whole percentage of Salary to be deferred prior to the beginning of the Plan Year during which the Eligible Employee performs the services for which such Salary is to be earned. The maximum Salary Deferral is 75% of Salary. Once made, a Salary Deferral Election (including any election regarding time and form of payment) will continue to apply for subsequent Deferral Periods unless (i) the Eligible Employee submits a new Salary Deferral Election during a subsequent enrollment period changing the deferral amount or revoking the existing election, or (ii) the Participant is not an Eligible Employee on the last day of a subsequent enrollment period. Effective with the final payroll period in 2014, Salary paid solely for services performed during a payroll period (as described in Section 3401(b) of the Code) that includes the last day of a Plan Year, and for which payment is made in the immediately following Plan Year, shall be treated for purposes of this Plan as compensation for services performed in the Plan Year in which the payment is made.
(b)    Bonus. An Eligible Employee may elect to defer some or all of his or her Bonus by submitting a Bonus Deferral Election to the Administrator prior to the date that is six months before the end of the performance period and in no event later than the date the Bonus has become readily ascertainable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either generally or as to a particular Bonus, the Administrator may, but need not, require that Bonus Deferral Elections be submitted to the Administrator prior to the beginning of the Plan Year during which the Eligible Employee performs the services for which such Bonus is to be earned. The maximum Bonus Deferral is 100% of Bonus.
Once made, a Bonus Deferral Election (including any election regarding time and form of payment) will continue to apply for subsequent Deferral Periods unless (i) the Eligible Employee submits a new Bonus Deferral Election during a subsequent enrollment period changing the deferral amount

4


or revoking the existing election, or (ii) the Participant is not an Eligible Employee on the last day of a subsequent enrollment period.
(c)    Initial Eligibility. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an employee who first becomes an Eligible Employee during a Plan Year may make an initial Deferral Election for the deferral of Salary or Bonus, provided that such Eligible Employee has not previously become eligible to participate in this or any Similar Plan. Any Salary Deferral Election must be made within thirty days after the date the employee becomes an Eligible Employee and shall apply to Salary earned for services performed after the election is submitted to the Administrator. If the employee first becomes an Eligible Employee prior to establishment of the performance criteria for a Bonus, the Eligible Employee may make the Bonus Deferral Election prior to the date that is six months before the end of the performance period but not later than the date the Bonus has become readily ascertainable. If the employee first becomes an Eligible Employee after establishment of the performance criteria or less than six months before the end of the Deferral Period, such Bonus Deferral Election must be made within thirty days after the date the employee becomes an Eligible Employee and shall apply to that portion of the Bonus earned during the Plan Year multiplied by the ratio of the number of days remaining in the calendar year after the election is submitted to the Administrator to the total number of days during the Plan Year that such Employee is employed by an Affiliate.
(d)    Qualifying Awards. An Eligible Employee may elect to defer payment of some or all of his or her Qualifying Awards by submitting a Qualifying Award Deferral Election to the Administrator specifying the whole percentage of his or her Qualifying Awards to be deferred. With respect to a Qualifying Award that was granted on or before December 31, 2012 with respect to a performance period scheduled to end on or after December 31, 2013, and that is “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(e), the Eligible Employee must submit his or her Qualifying Award Deferral Election to the Administrator not later than December 31, 2012. Otherwise, the Participant must submit his or her Qualifying Award Deferral Election to the Administrator prior to the beginning of the Plan Year in which such Qualifying Award is granted.
In the circumstances provided in the next two sentences, the Administrator may, but need not, extend the applicable Qualifying Award Deferral Election deadlines either generally or as to a particular Qualifying Award.  With respect to any Qualifying Award that qualifies as “performance-based compensation,” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(e), the Administrator may permit the Qualifying Award Deferral Election to be made prior to the date that is six months before the end of the performance period and in no event later than the date the Qualifying Award has become readily ascertainable. With respect to any Qualifying Award that is subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture at grant, the Administrator may permit the Qualifying Award Deferral Election to be made not more than thirty days following the date the Qualifying Award is granted, provided that the Deferral Election is not made later than the date that is twelve months before the Qualifying Award could cease to be subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture other than due to death, Disability or a change in the ownership or effective control or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of EIX within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5).

5


Notwithstanding the foregoing, an employee who first becomes an Eligible Employee during a Plan Year may make an initial Deferral Election for the deferral of some or all of his or her Qualifying Awards, provided that such Eligible Employee has not previously become eligible to participate in this or any Similar Plan. Such Qualifying Award Deferral Election must be made within thirty days after the date the employee becomes an Eligible Employee. The Deferral Election shall apply to the entire specified portion of the Qualifying Award to which it relates if either (i) the Qualifying Award qualifies as “performance-based compensation,” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(e), and the Qualifying Award Deferral Election is made prior to the establishment of performance criteria for the Qualifying Award and the date that is six months before the end of the performance period and in no event later than the date the Qualifying Award has become readily ascertainable, or (ii) the Qualifying Award is subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture at grant and the Qualifying Award Deferral Election is made not more than thirty days following the date the Qualifying Award is granted, provided that the Deferral Election is not made later than the date that is twelve months before the Qualifying Award could cease to be subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture other than due to death, Disability or a change in the ownership or effective control or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of EIX within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5). If the preceding sentence does not apply, the Qualifying Award Deferral Election shall apply to that portion of the related Qualifying Award multiplied by the ratio of the number of days remaining in the applicable performance period (or the number of days remaining in the applicable service period if the Qualifying Award is not a performance-based vesting award) after the election is submitted to the Administrator to the total number of days during that performance period (or that service period, as the case may be) that such Employee is employed by an Affiliate.
The Qualifying Award remains subject to all applicable limitations as to the time or times during which it may become payable or the conditions for payment as provided in the terms and conditions of the Qualifying Award. Once made, a Qualifying Award Deferral Election (including any election regarding time and form of payment) will continue to apply for subsequent Deferral Periods unless (i) the Eligible Employee submits a new Qualifying Award Deferral Election during a subsequent enrollment period changing the deferral amount or revoking the existing election, or (ii) the Participant is not an Eligible Employee on the last day of a subsequent enrollment period; provided that a Deferral Election made prior to December 1, 2012 shall not be given effect as to any Qualifying Award to the extent that the Participant had the ability on or after December 1, 2012 to make a new Deferral Election as to that Qualifying Award.
(e)    Special Awards. An Eligible Employee may elect to defer payment of some or all of his or her Special Awards by submitting a Special Award Deferral Election to the Administrator specifying the whole percentage of his or her Special Awards to be deferred. With respect to any Special Awards that are “performance-based compensation,” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(e), the Eligible Employee must submit his or her Special Award Deferral Election to the Administrator prior to the date that is six months before the end of the performance period and in no event later than the date the Special Award has become readily ascertainable. With respect to any Special Awards that are not “performance-based compensation,” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(e), the Eligible Employee must submit his or her Special Award Deferral Election to the Administrator either (i) in the case of a Special Award that is subject

6


to a substantial risk of forfeiture at grant, within thirty days following the date the Special Award is granted, but in no event later than the date that is twelve months before the Special Award could cease to be subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture other than due to death, Disability or a change in the ownership or effective control or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of EIX within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5), or (ii) otherwise, prior to the beginning of the Plan Year in which such Special Award is given.
An employee who first becomes an Eligible Employee during a Plan Year may make an initial Deferral Election for the deferral of some or all of his or her Special Awards, provided that such Eligible Employee has not previously become eligible to participate in this or any Similar Plan. Such Special Award Deferral Election must be made within thirty days after the date the employee becomes an Eligible Employee. The Deferral Election shall apply to the entire specified portion of the Special Award to which it relates if either (i) the Special Award qualifies as “performance-based compensation,” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(e), and the Special Award Deferral Election is made prior to the establishment of performance criteria for the Special Award and the date that is six months before the end of the performance period and in no event later than the date the Special Award has become readily ascertainable, or (ii) the Special Award is subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture at grant and the Special Award Deferral Election is made not more than thirty days following the date the Special Award is granted, provided that the Deferral Election is not made later than the date that is twelve months before the Special Award could cease to be subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture other than due to death, Disability or a change in the ownership or effective control or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of EIX within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5). If the preceding sentence does not apply, the Special Award Deferral Election shall apply to that portion of the related Special Award multiplied by the ratio of the number of days remaining in the applicable performance period (or the number of days remaining in the applicable service period if the Special Award is not a performance-based vesting award) after the election is submitted to the Administrator to the total number of days during that performance period (or that service period, as the case may be) that such Employee is employed by an Affiliate.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either generally or as to a particular Special Award, the Administrator may, but need not, require that Special Award Deferral Elections be submitted to the Administrator prior to the beginning of the Plan Year in which such Special Award is given.
The Special Award remains subject to all applicable limitations as to the time or times during which it may become payable or the conditions for payment as provided in the terms and conditions of the Special Award. Once made, a Special Award Deferral Election (including any election regarding time and form of payment) will continue to apply for subsequent Deferral Periods unless (i) the Eligible Employee submits a new Special Award Deferral Election during a subsequent enrollment period changing the deferral amount or revoking the existing election, or (ii) the Participant is not an Eligible Employee on the last day of a subsequent enrollment period; provided that a Deferral Election made prior to December 1, 2012 shall not be given effect as to any Special Award to the extent that the Participant had the ability on or after December 1, 2012 to make a new Deferral Election as to that Special Award.

PAYMENT ELECTIONS
5.1

As part of a Deferral Election, a Participant may make a Primary Payment Election specifying the payment schedule for each subaccount that will be created as a result of the Deferral Election. The choices available for a Primary Payment Election are as follows:
(a)    Monthly installments for 60 to 180 months, as provided in the applicable Primary Payment Election form; or
(b)    A single lump sum; or

9


(c)    Two to fifteen installments paid annually, as provided in the applicable Primary Payment Election form; or
(d)    Any combination of the preceding three choices, as provided in the applicable Primary Payment Election form.
Payments under this Primary Payment Election may commence upon (i) the first day of a specified month and year that may be no later than the month and year in which the Participant attains age 75; (ii) the Participant’s Retirement; or (iii) the first day of the month that is a specified number of months following the Participant’s Retirement or the first day of a specified month a specified number of years following the calendar year in which Retirement occurs (provided that if the date otherwise determined pursuant to this clause (iii) is later than the month and year in which the Participant attains age 75, the date pursuant to this clause (iii) shall be the later of the Participant’s Retirement or the month and year in which the Participant attains age 75).
Subject to Section 5.5, lump sum payments or initial installment payments will be made within 90 days (60 days in the case of a payment triggered by a specified payment date) of the scheduled dates. Interest will be added to the payment amount for the days elapsed between the scheduled payment date and the actual date of payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in a Participant Deferral Election, payments from a Participant’s Deferral Account will be subject to the following earliest payment date rules: (i) no subaccount relating to a Bonus Deferral Election may be scheduled to commence payment or be paid until the first day of the fourth month in the Plan Year immediately following the Plan Year for which the Bonus was awarded (for example, April 1, 2014 as to a Bonus awarded for 2013); and (ii) no subaccount relating to a Qualifying Award Deferral Election or Special Award Deferral Election with respect to “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(e) may be scheduled to commence payment or be paid until the first day of the fourth month in the Plan Year immediately following the Plan Year in which the corresponding performance period is scheduled to end. If the foregoing earliest payment date rules apply to any payment to be paid in installments, the first installment shall be paid on the applicable earliest payment date and subsequent installments shall be paid over the applicable installment period. The foregoing earliest payment date rules shall apply to payments under both Primary Payment Elections and Contingent Payment Elections. If the Participant’s delivery of a release would change the amount of his or her Plan benefit that is payable, and the period for the Participant to consider, execute and revoke such release spans two different Plan Years, and the 90- or 60-day period, as applicable, specified above for the payment of any benefit contingent on such release also spans those two Plan Years, payment of the portion of the benefit contingent upon such release (and earnings thereon) shall be made in the time period otherwise specified above but in the second of those two Plan Years.
If paid in installments, the installments will be paid in amounts that will amortize the Deferral Account or subaccount balance with interest credited at the Crediting Rate over the period of time benefits are to be paid. For purposes of calculating installments, the Deferral Account or subaccount will be valued as of the Valuation Date and subsequently as of December 31 each year with subsequent installments adjusted for the next calendar year according to procedures established by the Administrator. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, distribution in installments

10


shall be treated as a single payment as of the date of the initial installment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. If paid in monthly installments, the installments may be paid in a single check each month or in more than one check for any given month, provided that in either such case the total amount of the monthly payment shall not change.
If no Primary Payment Election has been made, the Primary Payment Election shall be deemed to be a single lump sum upon the Participant’s Retirement (or, if earlier, the Participant’s death or Disability).
5.2
Contingent Payment Election
As part of a Deferral Election, a Participant may make a Contingent Payment Election for each of the Contingent Events of (1) the Participant’s death while employed by an Affiliate, (2) the Participant’s Disability while employed by an Affiliate and (3) Termination of Employment, for each subaccount that will be created as a result of the Deferral Election, which Contingent Payment Election will take effect upon the first Contingent Event, if any, that occurs before the Participant’s Retirement (if the Participant specified a payment schedule determined by reference to Retirement in Section 5.1) or the first day of a specified month and year elected by the Participant pursuant to Section 5.1. The choices available for the Contingent Payment Election are those specified in Section 5.1 except that the references to Retirement shall instead refer to the applicable Contingent Event.
If the Participant has made no Contingent Payment Election and a Contingent Event occurs prior to Retirement (if the Participant specified a payment schedule determined by reference to Retirement in Section 5.1) or the first day of a specified month and year elected by the Participant pursuant to Section 5.1, the Administrator will pay the benefit as specified in the Participant’s Primary Payment Election, except that payments scheduled for payment or commencement of payment “upon Retirement,” or with a payment date determined by reference to “Retirement,” will be paid, commence, or have payment determined by a reference to, the first day of the month following the month in which the Contingent Event occurs. If the Participant has made neither a Contingent Payment Election nor a Primary Payment Election and a Contingent Event occurs prior to Retirement, the Payment Election shall be deemed to be a single lump sum upon the Participant’s Contingent Event, subject to the earliest payment date rules in Section 5.1.
5.3
Changes to Payment Elections
Participants may change a Primary Payment Election or Contingent Payment Election, including a deemed Payment Election, after the period allowed for the initial Deferral Election by submitting a new written Payment Election to the Administrator in the manner prescribed by the Administrator, subject to the following conditions: (1) the new Payment Election shall not be effective unless made at least twelve months before the payment or commencement date scheduled under the prior Payment Election; (2) the new Payment Election must defer a lump sum payment or commencement of installment payments for a period of at least five years from the date that the lump sum would have been paid or installment payments would have commenced under the prior Payment Election and (3) the election shall not be effective until twelve months after it is submitted to the Administrator. If at the time a new Payment Election is submitted, the Administrator determines

11


that imposition of the five-year delay would require that a Participant’s payments begin after he or she has attained age 75, then the Participant will not be permitted to make a new Payment Election. The payment schedules available under a new Payment Election are those specified in Section 5.1 and 5.2 (as applicable) that are available for new Payment Elections at the time the new Payment Election is made, subject to the conditions specified in this paragraph.
5.4
Small Benefit Exception

5.5
Six-Month Delay in Payment for Specified Employees
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that a Participant who is a Specified Employee is entitled to a distribution from the Plan due to the Participant’s Separation from Service, the lump sum payment or the commencement of installment payments, as the case may be, may not be scheduled to occur or occur before the date that is the earlier of (1) six months following the Participant’s Separation from Service for reasons other than death or (2) the Participant’s death.

In addition, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the payment of benefits if and to the extent permitted under any of the other exceptions specified in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(j)(4) to the general rule in Section 409A of the Code prohibiting accelerated payments, provided that the terms of Section 5.4 of the Plan shall govern whether benefits will be paid in a single lump sum pursuant to the small benefit exception contained in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(v).
ARTICLE 6
SURVIVOR BENEFITS
6.1
Payment
Following the Participant’s death, payment of the Participant’s Deferral Account will be made to the Participant’s Beneficiary or Beneficiaries according to the payment schedule elected or deemed elected according to Article 5.
6.2
Special Increase
This Section 6.2 applies as to any Participant who was first an Eligible Employee under this Plan on or before December 31, 2008. If any such Participant’s death occurs within the first 10 years following the date on which he or she first became an Eligible Employee, the balance existing on the date of the Participant’s death shall be doubled, excluding the portion of the balance derived

12


from deferrals and earnings thereon of Qualifying Awards and of Special Awards unless the Special Award specifies such doubling. The doubled balance will be paid out according to the payment schedule elected or deemed elected according to Article 5. For the avoidance of doubt, the death benefit provided in this Section 6.2 is intended as a separate plan within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(c).
ARTICLE 7
BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION
The Participant will have the right, at any time, to designate any person or persons as Beneficiary (both primary and contingent) to whom payment under the Plan will be made in the event of the Participant's death. The Beneficiary designation will be effective when it is submitted to the Administrator during the Participant's lifetime in accordance with procedures established by the Administrator.
The submission of a new Beneficiary designation will cancel all prior Beneficiary designations. Any finalized divorce or marriage of a Participant subsequent to the date of a Beneficiary designation will revoke such designation, unless in the case of divorce the previous spouse was not designated as a Beneficiary, and unless in the case of marriage the Participant's new spouse has previously been designated as Beneficiary. The spouse of a married Participant must consent in writing to any designation of a Beneficiary other than the spouse.
If a Participant fails to designate a Beneficiary as provided above, or if the Beneficiary designation is revoked by marriage, divorce, or otherwise without execution of a new designation, or if every person designated as Beneficiary predeceases the Participant, then the Administrator will direct the distribution of the benefits to the Participant's estate. If a primary Beneficiary dies after the Participant’s death but prior to completion of benefits under this Plan, and no contingent Beneficiary has been designated by the Participant, any remaining payments will be paid to the primary Beneficiary’s Beneficiary, if one has been designated, or to the Beneficiary’s estate.
ARTICLE 8
CONDITIONS RELATED TO BENEFITS
8.1
Nonassignability
The benefits provided under the Plan may not be alienated, assigned, transferred, pledged or hypothecated by or to any person or entity, at any time or any manner whatsoever. These benefits will be exempt from the claims of creditors of any Participant or other claimants and from all orders, decrees, levies, garnishment or executions against any Participant to the fullest extent allowed by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the benefit payable to a Participant may be assigned in full or in part, pursuant to a domestic relations order of a court of competent jurisdiction.
8.2
Unforeseeable Emergency Distribution
A Participant may submit a hardship distribution request to the Administrator in writing setting forth the reasons for the request. The Administrator (or its delegate) will have the sole authority to approve or deny such requests. Upon a finding that the Participant has suffered an Unforeseeable

13


Emergency, the Administrator (or its delegate) may in its discretion, permit the Participant to cease any on-going deferrals and accelerate distributions of benefits under the Plan in the amount reasonably necessary to alleviate the Unforeseeable Emergency. If a distribution is to be made to a Participant on account of an Unforeseeable Emergency, the Participant may not make deferrals under the Plan until one entire Plan Year following the Plan Year in which a distribution based on an Unforeseeable Emergency was made has elapsed.
8.3
No Right to Assets
A Participant’s benefits paid under the Plan will be paid from the general funds of the Participant’s Employer, and the Participant and any Beneficiary will be no more than unsecured general creditors of that Employer with no special or prior right to any assets of the Employer for payment of any obligations hereunder. Neither the Participant nor the Beneficiary will have a claim to benefits from any other Affiliate. Plan benefits are available to Eligible Employees of EIX and its participating Affiliates. Amounts of compensation deferred by Participants pursuant to this Plan accrue as liabilities of the Employer under the terms and conditions set forth herein. By electing to defer compensation under the Plan, Participants consent to EIX sponsorship of the Plan, but acknowledge that EIX is not a guarantor of the benefit obligations of other participating Affiliates. Each Affiliate is responsible for payment of the accrued benefits under the Plan with respect to its own Eligible Employees subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in the definition of “Employer” to the contrary, and at the sole discretion of EIX, EIX may determine that for purposes of benefits payable under the Plan, EIX shall be deemed to be the Employer obligated to pay such benefits. Such an election by EIX may be made, in EIX’s sole discretion, as to all Plan benefits, as to only certain benefits, and/or as to only certain Affiliates or Participants, and will be deemed an assumption of the specified benefit obligations of the applicable Affiliates. Subject to the further provisions hereof, EIX will be solely obligated to pay any such benefits and no Participant (or Beneficiary) will have a claim as to any other Affiliate with respect to such benefits. Upon an election by EIX under this Section 8.3, benefits covered by the election will be paid from the general funds of EIX (and not the Affiliate that would otherwise pay the benefits), provided that EIX may require that as between EIX and the Affiliate that would otherwise pay such benefits, the Affiliate will be responsible to pay EIX for the assumption of such obligations in accordance with funding arrangements determined by EIX at the time of election or any time thereafter. To the extent such Affiliate fails to comply with such funding arrangements or obtains any refund or offset of payments made from the Affiliate to EIX without the consent of EIX, the Affiliate that would otherwise be responsible for payment of benefits to the applicable Participant will remain responsible for such benefits. EIX will effectuate any such election pursuant to this Section 8.3 by providing written notice to the Administrator and the applicable Affiliates regarding the effective date of such election, and the benefits, Affiliates and Participants for which the election is applicable. The funding arrangements established by EIX at the time of its election, or from time to time thereafter, will set forth the method by which the Affiliates will remit funds to EIX in consideration of compensation that would otherwise be paid by the Affiliate but which has been deferred and is or becomes a Plan benefit obligation of EIX or other Plan benefit obligations that are assumed by EIX. Such a method may include, but is not limited to, lump sum payment by an Affiliate to EIX of relevant benefits accrued through the date of EIX’s election with regular periodic payments to EIX of continuing accruals; regular periodic payments by an Affiliate to EIX

14


beginning with the date of EIX’s election through the date such benefits become due under the Plan; lump sum payment by an Affiliate to EIX at the time benefits become due under the Plan; or intercompany payables and receivables used with funding on a “pay-as-you-go” basis.
8.4
Protective Provisions
The Participant will cooperate with the Administrator by furnishing any and all information requested by the Administrator, in order to facilitate the payment of benefits hereunder, taking such physical examinations as the Administrator may deem necessary and signing such consents to insure or taking such other actions as may be requested by the Administrator. If the Participant refuses to cooperate, the Administrator and the Employer will have no further obligation to the Participant under the Plan.
8.5
Constructive Receipt
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, in the event the Administrator determines that amounts deferred under the Plan have failed to comply with Section 409A and must be recognized as income for federal income tax purposes, distribution of the amounts included in a Participant’s income will be made to such Participant. The determination of the Administrator under this Section 8.5 will be binding and conclusive.
8.6
Withholding
The Participant or the Beneficiary will make appropriate arrangements with the Administrator for satisfaction of any federal, state or local income tax withholding requirements and Social Security or other employee tax requirements applicable to the accrual or payment of benefits under the Plan. If no other arrangements are made, the Administrator may provide, at its discretion, for such withholding and tax payments as may be required.
8.7
Incapacity
If any person entitled to payments under this Plan is incapacitated and unable to use such payments in his or her own best interest, EIX may direct that payments (or any portion) be made to that person’s legal guardian or conservator, or that person’s spouse, as an alternative to payment to the person unable to use the payments. EIX will have no obligation to supervise the use of such payments, and court-appointed guardianship or conservatorship may be required.
ARTICLE 9
PLAN ADMINISTRATION
9.1
Plan Interpretation
The Administrator will administer the Plan and interpret, construe and apply its provisions in accordance with its terms and will provide direction and oversight as necessary to management, staff, or contractors to whom day-to-day Plan operations may be delegated. The Administrator will establish, adopt or revise such rules and regulations as it may deem necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan. The Administrator will interpret and construe the Plan and the prior

15


version of the Plan to comply with Section 409A of the Code. All decisions of the Administrator will be final and binding.
9.2
Limited Liability
Neither the Administrator, nor any of its members or designees, will be liable to any person for any action taken or omitted in connection with the interpretation and administration of this Plan.
ARTICLE 10
AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF PLAN
10.1
Amendment of Plan
Subject to the terms of Section 10.3, EIX may at any time amend the Plan in whole or in part, provided, however, that the amendment (i) will not decrease the balance of the Participant's Deferral Account at the time of the amendment and (ii) will not retroactively decrease the applicable Crediting Rates of the Plan prior to the time of the amendment. EIX may amend the Crediting Rates of the Plan prospectively, in which case the Administrator will notify the Participant of the amendment in writing within 30 days after the amendment.
10.2
Termination of Plan
Subject to the terms of Section 10.3, EIX may at any time terminate the Plan. If EIX terminates the Plan, distributions to the Participants or their Beneficiaries shall be made on the dates on which the Participants or Beneficiaries would receive benefits hereunder without regard to the termination of the Plan except that payments may be made upon termination of the Plan if the requirements for accelerated payment under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix)(C) are satisfied.
10.3
Amendment or Termination after Change in Control
Notwithstanding the foregoing, EIX will not amend or terminate the Plan without the prior written consent of affected Participants for a period of two calendar years following a Change in Control and will not thereafter amend or terminate the Plan in any manner which affects any Participant (or Beneficiary of a deceased Participant) who commences receiving payment of benefits under the Plan prior to the end of the two year period following a Change in Control.
10.4
Exercise of Power to Amend or Terminate
EIX’s power to amend or terminate the Plan will be exercisable by the Compensation and Executive Personnel Committee of the EIX Board of Directors.

ARTICLE 11
CLAIMS AND REVIEW PROCEDURES
11.1
Claims Procedure for Claims Other Than for Vesting due to Disability
(a)    Except for claims due to Disability, the Administrator will notify a Participant or his or her Beneficiary (or person submitting a claim on behalf of the Participant or Beneficiary) (a “claimant”) in writing, within 90 days after his or her written application for benefits, of his or her eligibility or noneligibility for benefits under the Plan. If the Administrator determines that a claimant is not eligible for benefits or full benefits, the notice will set forth (1) the specific reasons for the denial, (2) a specific reference to the provisions of the Plan on which the denial is based, (3) a description of any additional information or material necessary for the claimant to perfect his or her claim, and a description of why it is needed, and (4) an explanation of the Plan's claims review procedure and other appropriate information as to the steps to be taken if the claimant wishes to have the claim reviewed. If the Administrator determines that there are special circumstances requiring additional time to make a decision, the Administrator will notify the claimant of the special circumstances and the date by which a decision is expected to be made, and may extend the time for up to an additional 90-day period.
(b)    If a claimant is determined by the Administrator not to be eligible for benefits, or if the claimant believes that he or she is entitled to greater or different benefits, the claimant will have the opportunity to have the claim reviewed by the Administrator by filing a petition for review with the Administrator within 60 days after receipt of the notice issued by the Administrator. Said petition will state the specific reasons which the claimant believes entitle him or her to benefits or to greater or different benefits. Within 60 days after receipt by the Administrator of the petition, the Administrator will afford the claimant (and counsel, if any) an opportunity to present his or her position to the Administrator in writing, and the claimant (or counsel) will have the right to review the pertinent documents. The Administrator will notify the claimant of its decision in writing within the 60-day period, stating specifically the basis of its decision, written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant and the specific provisions of the Plan on which the decision is based. If, due to special circumstances (for example, because of the need for a hearing), the 60-day period is not sufficient, the decision may be deferred for up to another 60-day period at the election of the Administrator, but notice of this deferral will be given to the claimant. In the event of the death of the Participant, the same procedures will apply to the Participant's Beneficiaries.
11.2
Claims Procedure for Claims due to Disability
(a)    For purposes of Section 11.1, this Section 11.2 and Section 11.3, a claim shall not be considered to be due to Disability if the existence of the Participant’s Disability is determined by reference to whether the Participant is eligible for benefits under his or her Employer’s long-term disability plan applicable to the Participant, as determined by the Employer. A claim due to Disability will be approved or denied by the Administrator or its delegate, as it deems appropriate in its discretion, based on its interpretation of the Plan, medical evidence, and the analysis and conclusions of a physician selected by the Administrator or its delegate. Within a reasonable period of time, but not later than 45 days after receipt of a claim due to Disability, the Administrator or its delegate shall notify the claimant of any adverse benefit determination on the claim, unless circumstances

17


beyond the Plan’s control require an extension of time for processing the claim. Except as contemplated by this Section 11.2, in no event may the extension period exceed 30 days from the end of the initial 45-day period. If an extension is necessary, the Administrator or its delegate shall provide the claimant with a written notice to this effect prior to the expiration of the initial 45-day period. The notice shall describe the circumstances requiring the extension and the date by which the Administrator or its delegate expects to render a determination on the claim. If, prior to the end of the first 30-day extension period, the Administrator or its delegate determines that, due to circumstances beyond the control of the Plan, a decision cannot be rendered within that extension period, the period for making the determination may be extended for an additional 30 days, so long as the Administrator or its delegate notifies the claimant, prior to the expiration of the first 30-day extension period, of the circumstances requiring the extension and the date as of which the Administrator or its delegate expects to render a decision. This notice of extension shall specifically describe the standards on which entitlement to a benefit is based, the unresolved issues that prevent a decision on the claim, and the additional information needed to resolve those issues, and that the claimant has at least 45 days within which to provide the specified information. Furthermore, in the event that a period of time is extended as permitted due to a claimant’s failure to submit information necessary to decide a claim, the period for making the benefit determination shall be tolled from the date on which the notification of the extension is sent to the claimant until the date on which the claimant responds to the request for additional information.
(b)    In the case of an adverse benefit determination, the Administrator or its delegate shall provide to the claimant written or electronic notification setting forth in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant in a culturally and linguistically appropriate manner: (i) the specific reason or reasons for the adverse benefit determination; (ii) reference to the specific Plan provisions on which the adverse benefit determination is based; (iii) a description of any additional material or information necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of why the material or information is necessary; (iv) a description of the Plan’s claim review procedures and the time limits applicable to such procedures, including a statement of the claimant’s right to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA following an adverse final benefit determination on review and in accordance with Section 11.2(c) below; (v) either the specific internal rules, guidelines, protocols, standards or other similar criteria of the Plan relied upon in making the adverse determination or a statement that such rules, guidelines, protocols, standards or other similar criteria of the Plan do not exist; (vi) if the determination is based on a medical necessity or experimental treatment or similar exclusion or limit, either an explanation of the scientific or clinical judgment for the determination, applying the terms of the Plan to the claimant’s medical circumstances, or a statement that such explanation shall be provided free of charge upon request; (vii) a statement that the claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claimant’s claim for benefits; and (viii) a discussion of the decision, including an explanation of the basis for disagreeing with or not following: (a) the views presented by the claimant to the Plan of health care professionals treating the claimant and vocational professionals who evaluated the claimant; (b) the views of medical or vocational experts whose advice was obtained on behalf of the Plan in connection with a claimant’s adverse benefit determination, without regard to whether the advice was relied upon in making the benefit determination; and (c) a disability determination made by the Social Security Administration regarding the claimant presented by the claimant to the Plan.

18


(c)    Any good-faith determination by the Administrator or its delegate will be final and binding on the Plan and the claimant unless appealed in accordance with this Section 11.2(c). Within 180 days after receipt by the claimant of notification of the adverse benefit determination, the claimant or the claimant’s duly authorized representative, upon written application to the Administrator, may request that the Plan fully and fairly review the adverse benefit determination (also sometimes referred to herein as an “appeal”). Upon request and free of charge, the claimant pursuing an appeal shall have reasonable access to, and be provided copies of, all documents, records and other information relevant to the claimant’s claim for benefits. The claimant shall have the opportunity to submit written comments, documents, records, and other information relating to the claim for benefits. The review: (i) shall take into account all comments, documents, records, and other information submitted regardless of whether the information was previously submitted or considered in the initial adverse benefit determination; (ii) shall not afford deference to the initial adverse benefit determination; (iii) shall be conducted, at the direction of the Administrator, by an appropriate fiduciary of the Plan who is neither the individual who made the adverse benefit determination that is the subject of the review, nor the subordinate of such individual; (iv) shall identify medical and vocational experts whose advice was obtained on behalf of the Plan in connection with the initial adverse benefit determination, without regard to whether the advice was relied upon in making the benefit determination; and (v) where based in whole or in part on medical evidence or medical judgment, including determinations with regard to whether a particular treatment, drug, or other item is experimental, investigational, or not medically necessary or appropriate, shall include consultation with a physician, with appropriate training and experience in the field of medicine involved in the medical judgment, who was neither consulted in connection with the initial adverse benefit determination, nor the subordinate of any such professional.
The appeal will then be approved or denied by the Administrator or its delegate, as it deems appropriate, based on its interpretation of the Plan in light of the medical evidence.
Before an adverse benefit determination on review of a claim due to Disability is issued, the claimant shall be provided, free of charge, with any new or additional evidence considered, relied upon, or generated by the Administrator or its delegate making the benefit determination (or at the direction of the Administrator) in connection with the claim; such evidence will be provided as soon as possible and sufficiently in advance of the date on which the notice of adverse benefit determination on review is required to be provided to give the claimant a reasonable opportunity to respond prior to that date.
Also before an adverse benefit determination on review based on a new or additional rationale is issued, the claimant shall be provided, free of charge, the rationale; the rationale must be provided as soon as possible and sufficiently in advance of the date on which the notice of adverse benefit determination on review is required to be provided to give the claimant a reasonable opportunity to respond prior to that date.
A final benefit determination will be made by the Administrator or its delegate, and the Administrator or its delegate shall provide the claimant with written or electronic notification of the final benefit determination within a reasonable period of time, but no later than 45 days immediately following receipt of claimant’s request for review, unless special circumstances require a further extension of

19


time for processing the claim, which extension may be up to an additional 45 days. If such an extension of time for review is required because of special circumstances, the Administrator or its delegate shall provide the claimant with a written notice of the extension prior to the commencement of the extension. The notice shall describe the special circumstances requiring the extension and the date as of which the final benefit determination shall be made. In the event that a period of time is extended due to a claimant’s failure to submit information necessary to decide a claim, the period for making the benefit determination on review shall be tolled from the date on which the notification of the extension is sent to the claimant until the date on which the claimant responds to the request for additional information. In the case of an adverse final benefit determination, the Administrator or its delegate shall provide to the claimant written or electronic notification setting forth in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant and in a culturally and linguistically appropriate manner: (i) the specific reason or reasons for the adverse final benefit determination; (ii) reference to the specific Plan provisions on which the adverse final benefit determination is based; (iii) a statement that the claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records and other information relevant to the claimant’s claim for benefits; (iv) a statement of the claimant’s right to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA following an adverse final benefit determination on review and mandatory arbitration in accordance with Section 11.3 below; (v) either the specific internal rules, guidelines, protocols, standards or other similar criteria of the Plan relied upon in making the adverse determination or a statement that such rules, guidelines, protocols, standards or other similar criteria of the Plan do not exist; (vi) if the determination is based on a medical necessity or experimental treatment or similar exclusion or limit, an explanation of the scientific or clinical judgment for the determination, applying the terms of the Plan to the claimant’s medical circumstances, or a statement that such explanation shall be provided free of charge upon request; (vii) a discussion of the decision, including an explanation of the basis for disagreeing with or not following: (a) the views presented by the claimant to the Plan of health care professionals treating the claimant and vocational professionals who evaluated the claimant; (b) the views of medical or vocational experts whose advice was obtained on behalf of the Plan in connection with a claimant’s adverse benefit determination, without regard to whether the advice was relied upon in making the benefit determination; and (c) a disability determination made by the Social Security Administration regarding the claimant presented by the claimant to the Plan; and (viii) the following statement: “You and your plan may have other voluntary alternative dispute resolution options, such as mediation. One way to find out what may be available is to contact your local U.S. Department of Labor Office and your State insurance regulatory agency.” As described above, there shall be only one level of review of an adverse benefit determination, followed by mandatory arbitration under Section 11.3, before a claimant may bring a civil action pursuant to Section 502 of ERISA.
11.3
Dispute Arbitration
(a)    Effective as to any claims filed on or after June 19, 2014, final and binding arbitration under this Section 11.3 shall be the sole remedy available to a claimant after he or she has exhausted the claim and review procedures set forth in Section 11.1. Furthermore, exhaustion by the claimant of the claim and review procedures set forth in Section 11.1 is a mandatory prerequisite for binding arbitration under this Section 11.3. Any arbitration or civil action brought prior to the exhaustion

20


of the claim and review procedures set forth in Section 11.1 shall be remanded to the Administrator to permit the claim and review procedures to be exhausted.
(b)    After a claimant has exhausted the claim and review procedures set forth in Section 11.1, if the claimant is determined by the Administrator not to be eligible for benefits, or if the claimant believes that he or she is entitled to greater or different benefits, the claimant may submit his or her claim to final and binding arbitration under this Section 11.3.
Any arbitration under this Section 11.3 will be held in Los Angeles County, California, in accordance with the then-current JAMS Arbitration Rules and Procedures for Employment Disputes (“JAMS Rules”) and under the Federal Arbitration Act. The arbitration shall be before a sole arbitrator, selected by mutual agreement of the parties. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator, the arbitrator shall be selected by striking in accordance with the then-current JAMS Rules from a list of arbitrators supplied by JAMS. Any and all claims and/or defenses that would otherwise be available in a court of law will be fully available to the parties. The arbitrator selected pursuant to this paragraph (the “Arbitrator”) may order such discovery as is necessary for a full and fair exploration of the issues and dispute, consistent with the expedited nature of arbitration. The Arbitrator shall apply applicable substantive law to resolve the dispute. To the fullest extent provided by federal law, the decision rendered by the Administrator pursuant to the claim and review procedures set forth in Section 11.1 shall be upheld by the Arbitrator unless the Arbitrator determines that the Administrator abused its discretion. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if a Change in Control occurs, then a claim review decision rendered by the Administrator within the three years following the Change in Control shall, if it is challenged by the claimant in accordance with this Section 11.3, be subject to de novo review by the Arbitrator. Subject to the applicable standard of review in the preceding two sentences, the Arbitrator may grant any award or relief available under applicable law that the Arbitrator deems just and equitable.
At the conclusion of the arbitration, the Arbitrator shall issue a written decision that sets forth the essential findings and conclusions upon which the Arbitrator's award or decision is based. Any award or relief granted by the Arbitrator hereunder shall be final and binding on the parties hereto, and may be enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction. All costs unique to arbitration (e.g., the Arbitrator’s fees and room fees) shall be paid by the Administrator. The parties shall otherwise bear their own costs (e.g., attorneys’ fees, expert fees, witness fees, etc.). If, however, any party prevails on a statutory claim that affords the prevailing party attorneys’ fees and costs, then the Arbitrator may award reasonable fees and costs to the prevailing party.
(c)    Notwithstanding any contrary provisions of this Section 11.3, if the claim is due to Disability, the following rules apply: (1) arbitration under this Section 11.3 shall be the mandatory second level of appeal following the exhaustion by the claimant of the claim and review procedures set forth in Section 11.2, and such exhaustion is a mandatory prerequisite for arbitration under this Section 11.3—any arbitration or civil action brought with respect to a claim due to Disability prior to the exhaustion of the claim and review procedures set forth in Section 11.2 shall be remanded to the Administrator to permit the claim and review procedures to be exhausted; (2) arbitration of a claim due to Disability under this Section 11.3 shall not be binding, and the claimant shall not be precluded from challenging the decision of the Arbitrator in a civil action brought pursuant to Section

21


502(a) of ERISA; and (3) except as specifically set forth in this Section 11.3(c), if the claim is due to Disability, the arbitration shall be conducted as set forth in Section 11.3(b).

1.    I have reviewed this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 of Edison International;
