	 	(i)	if the event giving rise to the termination of the Eligible Employee’s employment does not occur during a Protected Period, in violation of EIX’s and/or the Eligible
Employee’s Employer’s policies and practices applicable to the Eligible Employee from time to time; or 

  

	 	(ii)	 if the event giving rise to the termination of the Eligible Employee’s employment occurs during a Protected Period, that would have resulted in the termination
of the Eligible Employee’s employment by EIX’s or the Eligible 











	 	 
Employee’s Employer under EIX’s and/or the Eligible Employee’s Employer’s policies and practices applicable to the Eligible Employee in
effect immediately prior to the start of the Protected Period. However, no act or failure to act, on the Eligible Employee’s part, shall be considered “willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, by the Eligible Employee not in good

 Change in Control means a change in control shall be deemed to have occurred as of
the first day that any one or more of the following conditions shall have been satisfied:

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. 
 (4) 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 this Plan. 
 COBRA means the health
care continuation coverage requirements set forth in Section 4980B of the Code. 
 Code means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

 Disability means the Eligible Employee (i) is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable
physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve months or (ii) is, by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can
be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve months, receiving income replacement benefits for a period of not less than three months under a plan covering employees of the Employer.

 Effective Date means January 1, 2008. 
 EIX means Edison International, or any successor thereto as provided in Section 8.1. 
 Eligible Employee means an Executive of
an Affiliate or an employee of an Affiliate who was an Executive of an Affiliate after 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 an actual Change in Control occurs) or during a Protected Period.

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

 Good Reason means, without the Eligible Employee’s express written consent, the occurrence of any one or more
of the following during the Protected Period: 
 (1) A material diminution in the Eligible Employee’s authorities, duties, and/or responsibilities.

Employee’s principal office. 
 (4) Any other action or inaction that constitutes a material breach by the Employer of the agreement under which the
Eligible Employee provides services. 
 The foregoing events shall only constitute “Good Reason” if the Eligible Employee provides notice to the
Employer of the existence of the condition within 90 days of its initial existence and the Employer does not remedy the condition within 30 days. 
 Person shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in Section 3(a)(9) of the Exchange Act and used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) thereof, including a group as contemplated by Sections 13(d)(3) and 14(d)(2) thereof. 
 Plan means the EIX 2008 Executive Severance Plan. 
 Potential
Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred as of the first day that any one or more of the following conditions shall have been satisfied: 
 (1)
Any Person (other than a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of EIX or of an EIX affiliate): 
 (i)
announces an intention to take action which, if consummated, would result in a Change in Control; or 
 (ii) becomes the Beneficial Owner,
directly or indirectly, of securities of EIX representing fifteen percent (15%) or more of the combined voting power of EIX’s then outstanding securities. For purposes of this clause, “Person” (and “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 EIX with a view towards distribution. 
 (2) EIX enters into an agreement that, if consummated, would result in a Change in Control. 
 (3) The Board declares that a Potential Change in Control has occurred for purposes of this Plan. 
  

 -4-

initial existence of the Good Reason condition. 
 Salary means the Eligible Employee’s basic pay from the Employer (excluding bonuses, special
awards, commissions, severance pay, and other non-regular forms of compensation). 
 Separation from Service occurs when an Eligible Employee dies,
retires, or otherwise has a termination of employment from the Employer that constitutes a “separation from service” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)(1), without regard to the optional alternative
definitions available thereunder.

 Termination Date means, in the case of an Eligible Employee who becomes entitled to benefits under this Plan, the day on which the Eligible Employee incurs a
Separation from Service in connection with the event that entitles the Eligible Employee to such benefits. 
 ARTICLE 2 
 SEVERANCE BENEFITS 
 2.1 Right to Severance Benefits

 Subject to Sections 8.2 and 10.1, 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 8.2 and 10.1, 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 2.3.7 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) 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 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 no later than the
date that is the 15th day of the third month following the end of the Eligible Employee’s taxable year in which his or her Separation from Service
occurred but only if EIX has 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 EIX’s 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 EIX’s retiree health care program by virtue of his or her age and service. 
 (b) If the Eligible Employee is not eligible for
EIX’s retiree health care program in accordance with Section 2.3.2(a) or is not otherwise eligible for EIX’s 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. 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. 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. 
 2.3.3 Executive Health Enhancement Extension 
 If the Eligible
Employee was eligible to participate in the EIX-sponsored Executive Health Enhancement Program at any point during the 12 months preceding the Eligible Employee’s Termination Date, the Eligible Employee will remain eligible to participate in
the program during the one-year period commencing on the Eligible Employee’s 

  

 -7- 








 
Termination Date. Any reimbursements made under the program 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 and shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for other benefits. 
 2.3.4
Survivor Benefit Plan Extension 
 If the Eligible Employee was eligible to participate in the EIX 2008 Survivor Benefit Plan (or predecessor plan) at any
point during the 12 months preceding the Eligible Employee’s Termination Date, the Eligible Employee will be entitled to continued coverage under such Survivor Benefit Plan for the one-year period commencing on the Eligible Employee’s
Termination Date. 
 2.3.5 Outplacement Benefit 
 The
Eligible Employee shall be entitled to reimbursement of up to $20,000 for 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. 
 2.3.7 Estate and Financial Planning Extension 
 If the Eligible
Employee was eligible to participate in the Estate and Financial Planning Program of an Employer at any point during the 12 months preceding the Eligible Employee’s Termination Date, the Eligible Employee will be eligible to participate in the
program during the one-year period commencing on the Eligible Employee’s Termination Date. Notwithstanding the above, if the Eligible Employee is at least age 54 with at least four years of service (as years of service are determined for
vesting purposes under the Executive Retirement Plan) as of the Eligible Employee’s Termination Date, then the normal terms of the Estate and Financial Planning Program for retirement will apply with respect to the Eligible Employee.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any reimbursement of estate and financial planning costs will be subject to the following conditions: (1) the amount of expense eligible for reimbursement during the Eligible Employee’s taxable year does not
affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable year, (2) the reimbursement of an eligible expense is made on or before the last day of the Eligible Employee’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the
expense was incurred, and (3) the right to reimbursement is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. 
 2.4 Change in Control

described in Sections 2.3.1 through 2.3.7 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 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 “one times” in Section 2.3.1, including
for purposes of determining the Eligible Employee’s benefit under Section 2.3.1(c). “Two-year period” will be substituted for “one-year period” in Sections 2.3.3, 2.3.4, and 2.3.7. “$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 Chief Executive Officer of EIX, Southern California Edison,
Edison Mission Group, or the General Counsel or 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). “Three-year period”
will be substituted for “one-year period” in Sections 2.3.3, 2.3.4, and 2.3.7. “$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


  

 -9- 








 
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 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. 
 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. 
  

 -10- 








 ARTICLE 4 
 EXCISE TAX GROSS-UP 
 4.1 Gross-Up Payment 
 In the event it is determined (pursuant to Section 4.2) or finally determined (as defined in Section 4.3(c)) that any payment, distribution, transfer, or benefit by an Eligible Employee’s Employer, or a
direct or indirect subsidiary or affiliate of that Employer, to or for the benefit of the Eligible Employee or the Eligible Employee’s dependents, heirs or beneficiaries (whether such payment, distribution, transfer, benefit or other event
occurs pursuant to the terms of this Plan or otherwise, but determined without regard to any additional payments required under this Article 6) (each a “Payment” and collectively the “Payments”) is subject to the excise tax
imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, and any successor provision or any comparable provision of state or local income tax law (collectively, “Section 4999”), or any interest, penalty or addition to tax is incurred by the Eligible
Employee with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest, penalty, and addition to tax, hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Excise Tax”), then the Eligible Employee’s Employer shall pay to
the Eligible Employee (or to the applicable taxing authority on the Eligible Employee’s behalf) an additional cash payment (hereinafter referred to as the “Gross-Up Payment”) equal to an amount such that after payment by the Eligible
Employee of all taxes, interest, penalties, additions to tax and costs imposed or incurred with respect to the Gross-Up Payment (including, without limitation, any income and excise taxes imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment), the Eligible Employee
retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon such Payment or Payments. This provision is intended to put the Eligible Employee in the same position as the Eligible Employee would have been had no Excise Tax been
imposed upon or incurred as a result of any Payment. Any payment under this Section 4.1 shall be paid to the Eligible Employee by the end of the Eligible Employee’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the Eligible Employee
pays the related taxes. 
 4.2 Determination of Gross-Up 
 (a) Except as provided in Section 4.3, the determination that a Payment is subject to an Excise Tax shall be made in writing by the principal certified public accounting firm then retained by EIX to audit its annual financial
statements (the “Accounting Firm”). Such determination shall include the amount of the Gross-Up Payment and detailed computations thereof, including any assumptions used in such computations. Any determination by the Accounting Firm will
be binding on EIX, the Eligible Employee’s Employer and the Eligible Employee. 
 (b) For purposes of determining the amount of the Gross-Up Payment,
the Eligible Employee shall be deemed to pay Federal income taxes at the highest marginal rate of Federal income taxation in the calendar year in which the Gross-Up Payment is to be made. Such highest marginal rate shall take into account the loss
of itemized deductions by the Eligible Employee and shall also include the Eligible Employee’s share of the hospital insurance portion of FICA and state and local income taxes at the 

  

 -11- 








 
highest marginal rate of taxation in the state and locality of the Eligible Employee’s residence on the date of his or her Qualifying Termination Event,
net of the maximum reduction in Federal income taxes that could be obtained from the deduction of such state and local taxes. 
 4.3 Notification 

 (a) The Eligible Employee shall notify EIX and his or her Employer (if other than EIX) in writing of any claim by the Internal Revenue Service (or any
successor thereof) or any state or local taxing authority (individually or collectively, the “Taxing Authority”) that, if successful, would require the payment by the Eligible Employee’s Employer of a Gross-Up Payment. Such
notification shall be given as soon as practicable but no later than 30 days after the Eligible Employee receives written notice of such claim and shall apprise EIX and his or her Employer of the nature of such claim and the date on which such claim
is requested to be paid; provided, however, that failure by the Eligible Employee to give such notice within such 30-day period shall not result in a waiver or forfeiture of any of the Eligible Employee’s rights under this Article 4 except
to the extent of actual damages suffered by EIX or the Eligible Employee’s Employer as a result of such failure. The Eligible Employee shall not pay such claim prior to the expiration of the 15-day period following the date on which the
Eligible Employee gives such notice to EIX and his or her Employer (or such shorter period ending on the date that any payment of taxes, interest, penalties or additions to tax with respect to such claim is due). If EIX or the Eligible
Employee’s Employer notifies the Eligible Employee in writing prior to the expiration of such 15-day period (regardless of whether such claim was earlier paid as contemplated by the preceding parenthetical) that it desires to contest such
claim, the Eligible Employee shall: 
 (1) give EIX and the Eligible Employee’s Employer any information reasonably requested by EIX or
the Eligible Employee’s Employer relating to such claim; 
 (2) take such action in connection with contesting such claim as EIX or the
Eligible Employee’s Employer shall reasonably request in writing from time to time, including, without limitation, accepting legal representation with respect to such claim by an attorney selected by EIX or the Eligible Employee’s
Employer; 
 (3) cooperate with EIX and the Eligible Employee’s Employer in good faith in order effectively to contest such claim; and

 (4) permit EIX and the Eligible Employee’s Employer to participate in any proceedings relating to such claim; provided, however, that
the Eligible Employee’s Employer shall bear and pay directly all attorneys fees, costs and expenses (including additional interest, penalties and additions to tax) incurred in connection with such contest and shall indemnify and hold the
Eligible Employee harmless, on an after-tax basis, for all taxes (including, without limitation, income and excise taxes), interest, penalties and additions to tax imposed in relation to 

  

 -12- 








 
such claim and in relation to the payment of such costs and expenses or indemnification. 
 (b) Without limitation on the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.3, and to the extent its actions do not unreasonably interfere with or prejudice the Eligible Employee’s disputes with the Taxing
Authority as to other issues, EIX and the Eligible Employee’s Employer shall control all proceedings taken in connection with such contest and, in its or their reasonable discretion, may pursue or forego any and all administrative appeals,
proceedings, hearings and conferences with the Taxing Authority in respect of such claim and may, at its or in their sole option, either direct the Eligible Employee to pay the tax, interest or penalties claimed and sue for a refund or contest the
claim in any permissible manner, and the Eligible Employee agrees to prosecute such contest to a determination before any administrative tribunal, in a court of initial jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts, as EIX or the Eligible
Employee’s Employer shall determine; provided, that any extension of the statute of limitations relating to payment of taxes, interest, penalties or additions to tax for the taxable year of the Eligible Employee with respect to which such
contested amount is claimed to be due is limited solely to such contested amount; and, provided, further, that any settlement of any claim shall be reasonably acceptable to the Eligible Employee, and EIX’s and the Eligible Employee’s
Employer’s control of the contest shall be limited to issues with respect to which a Gross-Up Payment would be payable hereunder, and the Eligible Employee shall be entitled to settle or contest, as the case may be, any other issue. 

(c) If, after receipt by the Eligible Employee of a reimbursement amount paid by the Eligible Employee’s Employer pursuant to this Article 4, the Eligible
Employee receives any refund with respect to such claim, the Eligible Employee shall (subject to the Eligible Employee’s Employer’s complying with the requirements of this Article 4) promptly pay to the Eligible Employee’s
Employer an amount equal to such refund (together with any interest paid or credited thereof after taxes applicable thereto), net of any taxes (including, without limitation, any income or excise taxes), interest, penalties or additions to tax and
any other costs incurred by the Eligible Employee in connection with such advance, after giving effect to such repayment. 
 (d) For purposes of this
Article 4, whether the Excise Tax is applicable to a Payment shall be deemed to be “finally determined” upon the earliest of: 
 (1) the expiration of the 15-day period referred to in Section 4.3(a) if EIX or the Eligible Employee’s Employer has not notified the Eligible Employee that it intends to contest the underlying claim, 
 (2) the expiration of any period following which no right of appeal exists, 
 (3) the date upon which a closing agreement or similar agreement with respect to the claim is executed by the Eligible Employee and the Taxing Authority (which agreement may be executed only in compliance with this
section), or 
  

 -13- 








 (4) the receipt by the Eligible Employee of notice from EIX or the Eligible Employee’s Employer that
it no longer seeks to pursue a contest (which shall be deemed received if EIX or the Eligible Employee’s Employer does not, within 15 days following receipt of a written inquiry from the Eligible Employee, affirmatively indicate in writing to
the Eligible Employee that EIX or the Eligible Employee’s Employer intends to continue to pursue such contest). 
 4.4 Underpayment and Overpayment

 It is possible that no Gross-Up Payment will initially be made but that a Gross-Up Payment should have been made, or that a Gross-Up Payment will
initially be made in an amount that is less than what should have been made (either of such events is referred to as an “Underpayment”). It is also possible that a Gross-Up Payment will initially be made in an amount that is greater than
what should have been made (an “Overpayment”). The determination of any Underpayment or Overpayment shall be made by the Accounting Firm in accordance with Section 4.2. In the event of an Underpayment, the amount of any such
Underpayment shall be paid to the Eligible Employee as an additional Gross-Up Payment. In the event of an Overpayment, the Eligible Employee shall repay the amount of such Overpayment to the Employer with interest at the applicable Federal rate
provided for in Section 1274(d) of the Code from the date of the Overpayment to the date of the repayment of such amount. In such case, the amount of the repayment obligation shall be subject to reduction to the extent necessary to put the
Eligible Employee in the same after-tax position as if such Overpayment were never made. The amount of any such reduction to the repayment obligation shall be determined by the Accounting Firm in accordance with the principles set forth in
Section 4.2. The Eligible Employee shall repay the amount of the Overpayment (after reduction, if any, and with interest as provided above) to the Eligible Employee’s Employer as soon as administratively practicable after EIX or the
Eligible Employee’s Employer notifies the Eligible Employee of (a) the Accounting Firm’s determination that an Overpayment was made and (b) the amount to be repaid. 
 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 in writing to the Administrator during the Eligible Employee’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 an
Eligible Employee 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 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. 
  

 -14- 








 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. 
 6.3 Payment of
Obligations Absolute 
 Subject to the Eligible Employee’s 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. All amounts payable by an Employer hereunder shall be paid no later than the date that is the 15th day of the third month following the end of the Eligible Employee’s taxable year in which his or her Separation from Service occurred without notice or
demand. 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 4 or Article 8 and subject to the Eligible Employee’s compliance with Section 10.1 and the agreement 

  

 -15- 








 
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). 
 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 plan 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. 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, in the opinion of the Administrator or its designee, incapacitated and unable to use such payments in his or her own best interest, the Administrator or its designee 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. The Administrator or its designee 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. 
 ARTICLE 7 
 CLAIMS AND REVIEW
PROCEDURES 
 7.1 Claims Procedures 
 (a) 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 

  

 -16- 








 
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, 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 Dispute Arbitration 
 (a) Notwithstanding the foregoing, and because it is agreed that time will be of the essence
in determining whether any payments are due to the claimant under the Plan, a claimant may, if he or she desires, submit any claim for payment under the Plan to arbitration. This right to select arbitration will be solely that of the claimant and
the claimant may decide whether or not to arbitrate in his or her discretion. The “right to select arbitration” is not mandatory on the claimant, and the claimant may choose in lieu thereof to bring an action in an appropriate civil court.
Once an arbitration is commenced, however, it may not be discontinued without the mutual consent of both parties to the arbitration. During the lifetime of the Eligible Employee only he or she can use the arbitration procedure set forth in this
section. 
 (b) Any claim for arbitration may be submitted as follows: if a claimant has submitted a request to be paid under the Plan and the claim is
finally denied by the Administrator in whole or in part, the claim may be filed in writing with an arbitrator of the claimant’s choice who is selected by the method described in the next four sentences. The first 

  

 -17- 








 
step of the selection will consist of the claimant submitting a list of five potential arbitrators to the Administrator. Each of the five arbitrators must be
either (1) a member of the National Academy of Arbitrators located in the State of California or (2) a retired California Superior Court or Appellate Court judge. Within one week after receipt of the list, the Administrator will select one
of the five arbitrators as the arbitrator for the dispute in question. If the Administrator fails to select an arbitrator within one week after receipt of the list, the claimant will then designate one of the five arbitrators for the dispute in
question. 
 (c) The arbitration hearing will be held within seven days (or as soon thereafter as possible) after the picking of the arbitrator. No
continuance of said hearing will be allowed without the mutual consent of the claimant and the Administrator. Absence from or nonparticipation at the hearing by either party will not prevent the issuance of an award. Hearing procedures which will
expedite the hearing may be ordered at the arbitrator’s discretion, and the arbitrator may close the hearing in his or her sole discretion when he or she decides he or she has heard sufficient evidence to satisfy issuance of an award.

 (d) The arbitrator’s award will be rendered as expeditiously as possible and in no event later than one week after the close of the hearing.

 (e) In the event the arbitrator finds that the Administrator or the Employer has breached the terms of the Plan, he or she will order the Employer to pay
to the claimant within two business days after the decision is rendered the amount then due the claimant, plus, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, an additional amount equal to 20% of the amount actually in dispute. This
additional amount will constitute an additional benefit under the Plan. The award of the arbitrator will be final and binding upon the Parties. 
 (f) The
award may be enforced in any appropriate court as soon as possible after its rendition. The Administrator will be considered the prevailing party in a dispute if the arbitrator determines (1) that neither the Administrator nor the Employer has
breached the terms of the Plan and (2) the claim by the claimant was not made in good faith. Otherwise, the claimant will be considered the prevailing party. In the event that the Administrator is the prevailing party, the fee of the arbitrator
and all necessary expenses of the hearing (excluding any attorneys’ fees incurred by the Administrator) including the fees of a stenographic reporter, if employed, will be paid by the losing party. In the event that the claimant is the
prevailing party, the fee of the arbitrator and all necessary expenses of the hearing (including all attorneys’ fees incurred by the claimant in pursuing his or her claim and the fees of a stenographic reporter, if employed) will be paid by the
Employer. 
  

 -18- 








 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. Subject to Section 8.2,
in any case where the successor is not an affiliate of EIX (determined immediately after the transaction), failure of the Employer to obtain such assumption and agreement in a written instrument prior to the effective date of any such succession
shall be a breach of this Plan and shall entitle Eligible Employees employed by that Employer to benefits under this Plan. 
 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 an officer of EIX, (iii) the agreement provides
specific conditions under which the Eligible Employee will eligible for the benefits described in Section 2.3 in connection with the sale or spin-off of the Employer, and (iv) those conditions are met. 
 ARTICLE 9 
 ADMINISTRATION OF THE
PLAN 
 9.1 Administrator Action 
 The Administrator
shall act at meetings by affirmative vote of a majority of the members of the Administrator. Any action permitted to be taken at a meeting may be taken 

  

 -19- 








 
without a meeting if, prior to such action, a written consent to the action is signed by all members of the Administrator and such written consent is filed
with the minutes of the proceedings of the Administrator. A member of the Administrator shall not vote or act upon any matter which relates solely to himself or herself as an Eligible Employee. The Chairman or any other member or members of the
Administrator designated by the Chairman may execute any certificate or other written direction on behalf of the Administrator. 
 9.2 Powers and Duties
of the Administrator 
 The Administrator shall enforce this Plan in accordance with its terms, shall be charged with the general administration of this
Plan, and shall have all powers necessary to accomplish its purposes, including, but not by way of limitation, the power and authority to do the following: 
 (a) To determine eligibility for and participation in this Plan; 
 (b) To construe and interpret the terms and provisions of this Plan; 

(c) To compute and certify to the amount and kind of benefits payable to Eligible Employees and their Beneficiaries, and to determine the amount of withholding taxes
to be deducted pursuant to Article 3; 
 (d) To maintain all records that may be necessary for the administration of this Plan; 
 (e) To provide for the disclosure of all information and the filing or provision of all reports and statements to Eligible Employees, Beneficiaries or governmental
agencies as shall be required by law; 
 (f) To make and publish such rules for the regulation of this Plan and procedures for the administration of this
Plan as are not inconsistent with the terms hereof; and 
 (g) To appoint a plan administrator or any other agent (which may include, without limitation, one
or more employees of EIX), and to delegate to them such powers and duties in connection with the administration of this Plan as the Administrator may from time to time prescribe. 
 9.3 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. 
  

 -20- 








 9.4 Information 
 To
enable the Administrator to perform its functions, each Employer shall supply full and timely information to the Administrator on all matters relating to the compensation of all Eligible Employees, their death or other cause of termination, and such
other pertinent facts as the Administrator may require. 
 9.5 Compensation, Expenses and Indemnity 
 The members of the Administrator shall serve without additional compensation for their services hereunder beyond that which they are entitled as authorized by the Board.
The Administrator is authorized at the expense of EIX to employ such legal counsel as it may deem advisable to assist in the performance of its duties hereunder. EIX shall pay expenses and fees in connection with the administration of this Plan. To
the extent permitted by applicable law, EIX shall indemnify and save harmless the Administrator and each member thereof, the Board and each member thereof, and delegates of the Administrator who are employees of EIX against any and all expenses,
liabilities and claims, including legal fees to defend against such liabilities and claims arising out of their discharge in good faith of responsibilities under or incident to this Plan, other than expenses and liabilities arising out of willful
misconduct. This indemnity shall not preclude such further indemnities as may be available under insurance purchased by EIX or provided by EIX under any bylaw, agreement or otherwise, as such indemnities are permitted under state law. 
 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 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 B, as the Administrator may require) and such executed agreement is received by EIX and the Eligible Employee’s Employer no
later than 60 days after the Eligible Employee’s Termination Date and is not revoked by the Eligible Employee or otherwise rendered unenforceable by the Eligible Employee. 
 10.2 Term of the Plan 
 (a) This Plan will commence on the Effective Date and shall continue in effect through
December 31, 2008. 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 

  

 -21- 








 
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: 
 (1) twenty-four months beyond the month in which such Change in Control occurred; or 
 (2) 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 
 (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. 
  

 -22- 








 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. 
 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

 (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
