TENTH SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE, dated as of November 10, 2022 (this “Tenth Supplemental Indenture”), by and between EDISON INTERNATIONAL, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of California (the “Corporation” or the “Issuer”), and THE BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON TRUST COMPANY, N.A., a national banking association, as Trustee under the Base Indenture (as hereinafter defined) (the “Trustee”).
RECITALS OF THE CORPORATION
A.The Corporation and the Trustee are parties to that certain Senior Indenture, dated as of September 10, 2010 (the “Base Indenture”) providing for the issuance by the Corporation of an unlimited number of series of Securities (as defined in the Base Indenture) from time to time.
B.Under the Base Indenture, the Corporation is authorized to establish one or more series of Securities at any time in accordance with and subject to the provisions of the Base Indenture, and the terms of such series of Securities may be described by a supplemental indenture executed by the Corporation and the Trustee.
C.The execution and delivery of this Tenth Supplemental Indenture has been authorized by a Board Resolution (as defined in the Base Indenture).
D.Concurrent with the execution hereof, the Corporation has caused its counsel to deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel (as defined in the Base Indenture) pursuant to Section 102 of the Base Indenture.
E.The Corporation has done all things necessary to make this Tenth Supplemental Indenture a legal, valid and binding agreement of the Corporation, in accordance with its terms.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Corporation and the Trustee agree, for the benefit of each other and for the equal and proportionate benefit of Holders of the 6.95% Senior Notes (as defined below) with respect to all provisions herein applicable to such series of notes, as follows:
ARTICLE I​
​
DEFINITIONS
Section 101.Definitions. 
Unless the context otherwise requires, capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meaning set forth in the Base Indenture. The following additional terms are hereby established for purposes of this Tenth Supplemental Indenture and shall have the meanings set forth in this Tenth Supplemental Indenture only for purposes of this Tenth Supplemental Indenture:
​

1




​

“6.95% Senior Notes” has the meaning specified in Section 201.
​
"Electronic Means" shall mean the following communications methods: e-mail, facsimile transmission, secure electronic transmission containing applicable authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys issued by the Trustee, or another method or system specified by the Trustee as available for use in connection with its services hereunder.
“Maturity Date” has the meaning specified in Section 205.
​
“Redemption Price” has the meaning set forth in Section 301 hereto.
​
“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date for the notes, the yield determined by the Company in accordance with the following two paragraphs.
The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Company after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third business day preceding the redemption date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily)—H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government securities—Treasury constant maturities—Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Company shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the redemption date to the maturity date of the notes being redeemed (the “Remaining Life”); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields—one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life—and shall interpolate to the maturity date of the notes on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the redemption date.
If on the third business day preceding the redemption date H.15 or any successor designation or publication is no longer published, the Company shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second business day preceding such redemption date of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the maturity date of the notes being redeemed. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the maturity date of the notes being redeemed but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the maturity date of such notes, one with a maturity date preceding the maturity and one with a maturity date following the maturity, the Company shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the maturity. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the maturity date of the 

2




​

notes being redeemed or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Company shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.
The words “herein,” “hereof” and “hereunder” and other words of similar import refer to this Tenth Supplemental Indenture as a whole and not to any particular Article, Section or other subdivision.

The Company covenants and represents that neither they nor any of their affiliates, subsidiaries, nor, to the knowledge of the Company, any directors or officers will directly or indirectly use any part of the proceeds received in connection with the Supplemental Indenture or any other of the transaction documents, or lend, contribute or otherwise make available such proceeds to any subsidiary, joint venture partner or other person or entity, for the purpose of financing the activities of any person currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by OFAC.

If the Company elects to give the Trustee Instructions using Electronic Means and the Trustee in its discretion elects to act upon such Instructions, the Trustee’s understanding of such Instructions shall be deemed controlling.  The Company understands and agrees that the Trustee cannot determine the identity of the actual sender of such Instructions and that the Trustee shall conclusively presume that directions that purport to have been sent by an Authorized Officer listed on the incumbency certificate provided to the Trustee have been sent by such Authorized Officer.  The Company shall be responsible for ensuring that only Authorized Officers transmit such Instructions to the Trustee and that the Company and all Authorized Officers are solely responsible to safeguard the use and confidentiality of applicable user and authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys upon receipt by the Company.

Edison International, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of California (herein called the “Corporation,” which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to____________________, or registered assigns, the principal sum of ___________________ ($__________) on November 15, 2029, and to pay accrued but unpaid interest thereon on each May15 and November15 (commencing May15, 2023) (each, an “Interest Payment Date”).  Interest shall accrue from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, or if no interest has been paid from November 10, 2022 to but excluding the Interest Payment Date or other date of payment for which accrued interest is paid, at the rate 

A-1




​

of 6.95% per annum, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment.  Interest on the Security shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months provided that for any partial 30-day month interest shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days over a 30-day month.  The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be May 1 or November 1 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date.  Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities of this series not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture.
Payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and any such interest on this Security will be made at the office or agency of the Corporation maintained for that purpose, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts; provided, however, that at the option of the Corporation payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register or by wire transfer at such place and to such account at a banking institution in the United States as may be designated in writing to the Trustee at least sixteen (16) days prior to the date for payment by the Person entitled thereto.
Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Security set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof by manual or electronic signature, this Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

Form of Reverse of Security
​
This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Corporation (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under a Senior Indenture, dated as of September 10, 2010 (herein called the “Indenture,” which term shall have the meaning assigned to it in such instrument and shall include the Tenth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of November 10, 2022), between the Corporation and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitation of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Corporation, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.  This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Securities are redeemable at the option of the Corporation (“Optional Redemption”), in whole or in part at any time at the price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) set forth below (the “Redemption Price”).
The Redemption Price for the 6.95% Senior Notes to be redeemed prior to September 15, 2029 (the ”Par Call Date”), will be equal to the greater of the following amounts:
		(1)	(a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the 6.95% Senior Notes to be redeemed on that Redemption Date (not including any portion of any payments of interest accrued to the redemption date) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 45 basis points, less (b) interest accrued to the date of redemption; and
​

		(2)	100% of the principal amount of the 6.95% Senior Notes to be redeemed;

​
plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the notes to be redeemed to the Redemption Date.
​
On or after the Par Call Date, we may redeem the notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to but excluding the redemption date.
​
“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date for the notes, the yield determined by the Corporation in accordance with the following two paragraphs.
The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Corporation after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third business day preceding the redemption date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily)—H.15” (or any successor 

A-4
​




​

designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government securities—Treasury constant maturities—Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Corporation shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the redemption date to the maturity date of the notes being redeemed (the “Remaining Life”); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields—one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life—and shall interpolate to the maturity date of the notes on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the redemption date.
If on the third business day preceding the redemption date H.15 or any successor designation or publication is no longer published, the Corporation shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second business day preceding such redemption date of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the maturity date of the notes being redeemed. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the maturity date of the notes being redeemed but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the maturity date of such notes, one with a maturity date preceding the maturity and one with a maturity date following the maturity, the Corporation shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the maturity. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the maturity date of the notes being redeemed or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, we shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on the Securities that are due and payable on Interest Payment Dates falling on or prior to a Redemption Date will be payable on the Interest Payment Date to the registered Holders as of the close of business on the relevant Record Date according to the Securities and the Indenture.  The Redemption Price will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

A-5
​




​

In the case of an Optional Redemption, notice of redemption will be in writing and mailed first-class postage-prepaid not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date to each Holder of the Securities to be redeemed at the Holder’s
registered address; provided, however, that such notice need not state the dollar amount of the Redemption Price if such dollar amount has not been determined as of the date such notice is being given to the Holders of the Securities being redeemed.  If money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of all the Securities (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the Redemption Date is deposited with the Paying Agent or the Trustee on or prior to the Redemption Date, from and after such Redemption Date such Securities or portions thereof shall cease to bear interest.
Securities in denominations larger than $1,000 in principal amount may be redeemed in part but only in integral multiples of $1,000.
In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities of this series and of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.
The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the entire indebtedness of this Security or certain restrictive covenants and Events of Default with respect to this Security, in each case, upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture.
