The Wildfire Financing Law provides that the creation, granting, perfection and enforcement of liens
and security interests in recovery property are governed by Wildfire Financing Law and not by the California UCC. Under the Wildfire Financing Law, a valid and enforceable lien and security interest in recovery property arises when all of the
following have taken place: the California commission has issued a financing order authorizing the fixed recovery charges included in the recovery property, value has been given by the pledgees of the recovery property, and the pledgor has signed a
security agreement covering the recovery property. Upon perfection through the filing of a financing statement with the Secretary of State of California pursuant to rules established by the Secretary of State of California in accordance with the
California UCC, the security interest shall be a continuously perfected lien and security interest in the recovery property, with priority in the order of filing and taking precedence over any subsequent judicial or other lien creditor. None of
this, however, eliminates the risk of payment delays and other adverse effects caused by an SCE bankruptcy.

If for any reason, a
financing statement is not filed under the Wildfire Financing Law or we fail to otherwise perfect our interest in the recovery property sold pursuant to the sale agreement, and the transfer is thereafter deemed not to constitute a true sale, we
would be an unsecured creditor of SCE. Notwithstanding any failure on our part to perfect our interest in the recovery property, under the Wildfire Financing Law and the financing order, a statutory lien on the recovery property and the proceeds
thereof arises by operation of law automatically without any action on the part of SCE, us or any other person. This statutory lien secures all obligations, then existing or thereafter arising, to the holders and the trustee of the holders of the
recovery bonds issued pursuant to the financing order. Under the Wildfire Financing Law, this statutory lien is valid, perfected and enforceable against the owner of the recovery property and all third parties upon the effectiveness of the financing
order without any further public notice (although protective filings (including the filing by us of financing statements as described above) is permitted under the Wildfire Financing Law). If SCE were to become a debtor in a bankruptcy case and a
bankruptcy court determined that we were an unsecured creditor, there can be no assurance that the court would be made aware of the statutory lien described above or, if the court was aware of the statutory lien arising under the Wildfire Financing
Law and the financing order, that the court would determine
