        SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON COMPANY, a corporation organized and existing under and by virtue of the
laws of the State of California (hereinafter called the "Company"), for value received, hereby promises to
pay to _____________________, the registered owner hereof, the principal sum of $_______________ on February

31, 2006, until said principal sum shall be paid, at the rate of 5.625% per annum, payable semiannually on
February 1 and August 1 in each year, beginning August 1, 2006.  Such interest shall be paid to the person in
whose name this Bond is registered at the close of business on (1) the business day immediately preceding the
interest payment date if this Bond is in book-entry only form, or (2) the 15th calendar day before each
interest payment date if this Bond is not in book-entry only form.

        The principal of and interest on this Bond are payable at the offices of The Bank of New York Trust
Company, N.A., as Trustee, in Chicago, Illinois, or at such other agency or agencies as may be designated by
the Company, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal
tender for public and private debts.

        This Bond is one of a series, designated as "Series 2006A, Due 2036," of a duly authorized issue of
bonds of the Company, known as its "First and Refunding Mortgage Bonds," issued and to be issued in one or
more series under and all equally and ratably secured by a Trust Indenture dated as of October 1, 1923, and
indentures supplemental thereto, including the One Hundred Twelfth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of
January 24, 2006, which have been duly executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Company to The Bank of New
York Trust Company, N.A. and D. G. Donovan, or one of their predecessors, as Trustees, to which original
indenture and indentures supplemental thereto (collectively, the "Trust Indenture") reference is hereby made
for a description of the property, rights and franchises thereby mortgaged and pledged, the nature and extent
of the security thereby created, the rights of the holders of this Bond and of the Trustees in respect of
such security, and the terms, restrictions and conditions upon which the bonds are issued and secured.

        This Bond may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company, at any time prior to its
maturity, after notice given in writing (including by facsimile transmission) to the registered owner hereof
at the last address shown on the registry books of the Company, by the Company or The Bank of New York Trust
Company, N.A., as Trustee, at least 30 days, but not more than 60 days, before the date fixed for redemption,
at a redemption price equal to the greater of (1) the principal amount

Page 4





redeemed or (2) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest
on this Bond being redeemed, discounted to the date fixed for redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a
360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Yield plus 20 basis points, plus in each
case accrued and unpaid interest to the date fixed for redemption.

        "Treasury Yield" means, for any date fixed for redemption, the rate per year equal to the semi-annual
equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury
Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for the date
fixed for redemption.

        "Comparable Treasury Issue" means the United States Treasury security or securities selected by an
Independent Investment Banker as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term
to stated maturity of this Bond that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with
customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to
the remaining term of this Bond.

        "Comparable Treasury Price" means, for any date fixed for redemption, (1) the average of the bid and
asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal
amount) on the third business day preceding the date fixed for redemption, as set forth in the daily
statistical release (or any successor release) published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and
designated "Composite 3:30 p.m. Quotations for U.S. Government Securities" or (2) if that release (or any
successor release) is not published or does not contain those prices on that business day, (A) the average of
the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for the date fixed for redemption, or (B) if the Independent
Investment Banker obtains fewer than four Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all of the
Quotations.

        "Independent Investment Banker" means Lehman Brothers Inc. ("Lehman") or its successor or, if such
firm or its successor is unwilling or unable to select the Comparable Treasury Issue, one of the remaining
Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee, after
consultation with the Company.

        "Reference Treasury Dealer" means (1) Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC ("Credit Suisse"), Deutsche
Bank Securities Inc. ("Deutsche") and Lehman and any other primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New
York City (a "Primary Treasury Dealer") designated by, and not affiliated with Credit Suisse, Deutsche or
Lehman, or their successors, provided, however, that if Credit Suisse, Deutsche or Lehman, or any of their
designees, ceases to be a Primary Treasury Dealer, the Company will appoint another Primary Treasury Dealer
as a substitute, and (2) any other Primary Treasury Dealer selected by the Company.


Page 5





        "Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations" means, for each Reference Treasury Dealer and any date fixed
for redemption, the average, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, of the bid and asked prices
for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in
writing to the Independent Investment Banker by the Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m. on the third
business day preceding the date fixed for redemption.

        If the Company elects to redeem fewer than all the Series 2006A Bonds, The Bank of New York Trust
Company, N.A., as Trustee, will select the particular bonds to be redeemed on a pro rata basis, by lot or by
such other method of random selection, if any, that The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee,
deems fair and appropriate.

        Any notice of redemption, at the Company's option, may state that the redemption will be conditional
upon receipt by the paying agent, on or prior to the date fixed for the redemption, of money sufficient to
pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Series 2006A Bonds to be redeemed and
that if the money has not been so received, the notice will be of no force and effect and the Company will
not be required to redeem this Bond.

        The Trust Indenture makes provision for a Special Trust Fund and permits the use of moneys therein for
the purpose, among others, of redeeming or purchasing this Bond.

        If default shall be made in the payment of any installment of principal of or interest on this Bond or
in the performance or observance of any of the covenants and agreements contained in the Trust Indenture, and
such default shall continue as provided in the Trust Indenture, then the principal of this Bond may be
declared and become due and payable as provided in the Trust Indenture.

        This Bond is transferable only on the books of the Company at any of the places designated above for
the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, or interest on this Bond, or at such other agency or
agencies as may be designated by the Company, by the registered owner or by an attorney of such owner duly
authorized in writing, on surrender hereof properly endorsed, and upon such surrender hereof, and the payment
of charges, a new registered bond or bonds of this series, of an equal aggregate principal amount, will be
issued to the transferee in lieu hereof, as provided in the Trust Indenture.

        The terms of the Trust Indenture may be modified as set forth in the Trust Indenture; provided,
however, that, among other things, (1) the obligation of the Company to pay the principal of and premium, if
any, and interest on all bonds outstanding under the Trust Indenture, as at the time in effect, shall
continue unimpaired, (2) no modification shall give any of said bonds any preference over any other of said
bonds, and (3) no modification shall authorize the creation of any lien prior to the lien of the Trust
Indenture on any of the trust property.


Page 6





        No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, or interest on this
Bond, or any part thereof, or for or on account of the consideration herefor, or for any claim based hereon,
or otherwise in respect hereof, or of the Trust Indenture, against any past, present or future stockholder,
officer or director of the Company or of any predecessor or successor company, whether for amounts unpaid on
stock subscriptions, or by virtue of any statue or constitution, or by the enforcement of any assessment or
penalty, or because of any representation or inference arising from the capitalization of the Company or of
such predecessor or successor company, or otherwise; all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and
as a part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly released.

        This Bond shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose until it shall have been authenticated by
the execution of the certificate of authentication hereon of The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as
Trustee, or its successor in trust.

        IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Southern California Edison Company has caused this Bond to be executed in its name

                          First and Refunding Mortgage Bonds, Series 2006B, Due 2009

No. ____                                                                $_____________

        SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON COMPANY, a corporation organized and existing under and by virtue of the
laws of the State of California (hereinafter called the "Company"), for value received, hereby promises to
pay to _____________________, the registered owner hereof, the principal sum of $_______________ on February
2, 2009, and to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount hereof to the registered owner hereof from January
31, 2006, until said principal sum shall be paid, at a floating interest rate as determined below, payable
quarterly on February 2, May 2, August 2 and November 2 in each year, beginning May 2, 2006.  Such interest
shall be paid to the person in whose name this Bond is registered at the close of business on (1) the
business day immediately preceding the interest payment date if this Bond is in book-entry only form, or
(2) the 15th calendar day before each interest payment date if this Bond is not in book-entry only form.

     The interest rate on this Bond for the initial interest period will be the three-month LIBOR, determined
as described below, on January 27, 2006, plus 10 basis points. The interest rate on this Bond for each
subsequent interest period will be reset quarterly on each interest payment date. This Bond will bear
interest at an annual rate (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year)
equal to three-month LIBOR plus 10 basis points.

     The interest rate in effect for this Bond on each day will be, (a) if that day is an interest reset
date, the interest rate determined as of the determination date (as defined below) immediately preceding that
interest reset date, or (b) if that day is not an interest reset date, the interest rate determined as of the
determination date immediately preceding the most recent interest reset date. The "determination date" will
be the second London Business Day (as defined below) immediately preceding the applicable interest reset date.

     The calculation agent initially will be The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A. LIBOR will be
determined by the calculation agent as of the applicable determination date in accordance with the following
provisions:

      (1)   LIBOR will be determined on the basis of the offered rates for deposits in U.S. dollars of not
          less than U.S. $1,000,000 having a three-month maturity, beginning on the second London Business
          Day immediately following that

Page 9





           determination date, which appears on Telerate Page 3750 (as defined below) as of approximately
           11:00 a.m., London time, on that determination date. "Telerate Page 3750" means the display
           designated on page "3750" on Moneyline Telerate, Inc. (or such other page as may replace the 3750
           page on that service, any successor service or such other service or services as may be nominated
           by the British Bankers' Association for the purpose of displaying London interbank offered rates
           for U.S. dollar deposits). If no rate appears on Telerate Page 3750, LIBOR for such determination
           date will be determined in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (2) below.

      (2)  With respect to a determination date on which no rate appears on Telerate Page 3750 as of
           approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on that determination date, the calculation agent will
           request the principal London office of each of four major reference banks (which may include an
           affiliate of the underwriter) in the London interbank market selected by the calculation agent
           (after consultation with us) to provide the calculation agent with a quotation of the rate at which
           deposits of U.S. dollars having a three-month maturity, beginning on the second London Business Day
           immediately following that determination date, are offered by it to prime banks in the London
           interbank market as of approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on that determination date in a
           principal amount equal to an amount of not less than U.S. $1,000,000 that is representative for a
           single transaction in that market at that time. If at least two quotations are provided, LIBOR for
           that determination date will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations as calculated by the
           calculation agent. If fewer than two quotations are provided, LIBOR for that determination date
           will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted as of approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time,
           on that determination date by three major banks selected by the calculation agent (after
           consultation with us) for loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks having a three-month
           maturity beginning on the second London Business Day immediately following that determination date
           and in a principal amount equal to an amount of not less than U.S. $1,000,000 that is
           representative for a single transaction in that market at that time; provided, however, that if the
           banks selected by the calculation agent are not quoting the rates described in this sentence, LIBOR
           for that determination date will be LIBOR determined with respect to the immediately preceding
           determination date, or in the case of the first determination date, LIBOR for the initial interest
           period.

     All percentages resulting from any of the above calculations will be rounded, if necessary, to the
nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded
upwards (e.g., 9.876545% (or .09876545) being rounded to 9.87655% (or .0987655)) and all dollar amounts used
in or resulting from such calculations will be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded
upwards).


Page 10





     If the date of maturity of this Bond falls on a day that is not a LIBOR Business Day (as defined below),
the related payment of principal and interest will be made on the next LIBOR Business Day as if it were made
on the date that payment was due, and no interest will accrue on the amounts so payable for the period from
and after that date to the next LIBOR Business Day. If any interest reset date or interest payment date
(other than at the date of maturity) would otherwise be a day that is not a LIBOR Business Day, that interest
reset date and interest payment date will be postponed to the next date that is a LIBOR Business Day, except
that if that LIBOR Business Day is in the next calendar month, that interest reset date and interest payment
date (other than at the date of maturity) will be the immediately preceding LIBOR Business Day.

     "LIBOR Business Day" means any day other than Saturday or Sunday or a day on which banking institutions
or trust companies in the City of New York are required or authorized to close and that is also a London
Business Day.

        "London Business Day" means any day on which dealings in deposits in U.S. dollars are transacted in
the London interbank market.

        The principal of and interest on this Bond are payable at the offices of The Bank of New York Trust
Company, N.A., as Trustee, in Chicago, Illinois, or at such other agency or agencies as may be designated by
the Company, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal
tender for public and private debts.

        This Bond is one of a series, designated as "Series 2006B, Due 2009," of a duly authorized issue of
bonds of the Company, known as its "First and Refunding Mortgage Bonds," issued and to be issued in one or
more series under and all equally and ratably secured by a Trust Indenture dated as of October 1, 1923, and

for a description of the property, rights and franchises thereby mortgaged and pledged, the nature and extent
of the security thereby created, the rights of the holders of this Bond and of the Trustees in respect of
such security, and the terms, restrictions and conditions upon which the bonds are issued and secured.

        This Bond may not be redeemed prior to its maturity.

        If default shall be made in the payment of any installment of principal of or interest on this Bond or
in the performance or observance of any of the covenants and agreements contained in the Trust Indenture, and
such default shall continue as provided in the Trust Indenture, then the principal of this Bond may be
declared and become due and payable as provided in the Trust Indenture.
