 PG&E CORPORATION 

2006 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN 
 RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT FOR NONEMPLOYEE DIRECTORS 
  

			
	 The LTIP and
 Other
 Agreements
	  	 This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding between you and PG&E Corporation regarding the Restricted Stock Units, subject to the terms of the LTIP.
Any prior agreements, commitments, or negotiations are superseded. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and the LTIP, the LTIP shall govern. Capitalized terms that are not defined in this Agreement
are defined in the LTIP.

		
	 Grant of
 Restricted Stock
 Units
	  	 PG&E Corporation grants you the number of Restricted Stock Units shown on the cover sheet of this Agreement. The Restricted Stock Units are subject to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement and the LTIP.

		
	 Vesting of
 Restricted Stock
 Units
	  	 In general, provided that you have not had a Separation from Service, your Restricted Stock Units will vest one year from the Date of Grant shown on the cover
sheet to this Agreement (the “Normal Vesting Date”). As set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, the Restricted Stock Units may vest earlier upon the occurrence of certain events.

		
	 Dividends
	  	 Your Restricted Stock Unit account will be credited quarterly on each dividend payment date with additional Restricted Stock Units (including fractions computed
to three decimal places), determined by dividing (1) the amount of cash dividends paid on the number of shares of PG&E Corporation Common Stock represented by the Restricted Stock Units previously credited to your Restricted Stock Unit account
by (2) the Fair Market Value of a share of PG&E Corporation Stock on the dividend payment date. Such additional Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to the same terms and conditions and shall be settled in the same manner and at the same time
as the Restricted Stock Units covered by this Agreement.

		
	 Settlement
	  	 Vested Restricted Stock Units will be settled in an equal number of shares of PG&E Corporation common stock (a “Share”), rounded down to the
nearest whole share. PG&E Corporation shall issue shares in settlement of vested Restricted Stock Units upon the earliest of (1) the Normal Vesting Date, (2) your Disability (as defined under Section 409A of the Code), (3) your death, (4) a
Section 409A Change in Control, or (5) your Separation from Service following a Change in Control that does not qualify as a Section 409A Change in Control.

		
	 Separation of
 Service
	  	 If you have a Separation from Service, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, before the Normal Vesting Date, all Restricted Stock Units subject to this Agreement
that have not vested on account of your death, Disability (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) or a Change in Control will be automatically cancelled and forfeited, provided, however, that if you Separate from Service due to a pending
Disability










			
		
		  	 determination, forfeiture shall not occur until a finding that such Disability has not occurred.

		
	 Death/Disability
	  	 In the event of your Disability (as defined in Section 409A of the Code) or death, all Restricted Stock Units credited to your account under this Agreement will
immediately become fully vested and be settled in accordance with the settlement provisions described above.

		
	 Change in
 Control
	  	 In the event of a Change in Control, all Restricted Stock Units credited to your account under this Agreement will immediately become fully vested and be settled
in accordance with the settlement provisions described above.

		
	 Delay
	  	 PG&E Corporation shall delay the issuance of any shares of common stock to the extent it is necessary to comply with Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code
(relating to payments made to certain “key employees” of certain publicly traded companies); in such event, any shares of common stock to which you would otherwise be entitled during the six (6) month period following the date of your
Separation from Service (or shorter period ending on the date of your death following such Separation from Service) will instead be issued on the first business day following the expiration of the applicable delay period.

		
	 Withholding
 Taxes
	  	 PG&E Corporation generally will not be required to withhold taxes on taxable income recognized by you upon settlement of your Restricted Stock Units.
However, any taxes that are required to be withheld will be payable by you in cash, by check, or through deductions from your compensation. Also, the Board may, in its discretion and subject to such restrictions as the Board may impose, permit you
to satisfy such tax withholding obligations by electing to have PG&E Corporation withhold otherwise deliverable Shares having a fair market value equal to the amount that would be required to be withheld.

		
	 Voting and Other

Rights
	  	 You shall not have voting rights with respect to the Restricted Stock Units until the date the underlying shares are issued (as evidenced by appropriate entry on
the books of PG&E Corporation or its duly authorized transfer agent).

		
	 Applicable Law
	  	 This Agreement will be interpreted and enforced under the laws of the State of California.
