                                                                  EXECUTION COPY


      AMENDMENT NO. 2, dated as of March 18, 2001 (this "AMENDMENT"), to the
Debt Service Reserve Guarantee, dated as of March 18, 1999 (the "GUARANTEE"),
made by EDISON MISSION ENERGY, a California corporation (the "GUARANTOR"), in
favor of UNITED STATES TRUST COMPANY OF NEW YORK, as Collateral Agent (in
such capacity, the "COLLATERAL AGENT") for certain senior secured creditors
of Edison Mission Holdings Co., a California corporation (the "BORROWER").

                                    RECITALS

            A. The Borrower has entered into a Credit Agreement, dated as of
March 18, 1999 (as the same may be amended, supplemented or otherwise
modified from time to time, the "CREDIT AGREEMENT"; the loans made
thereunder, the "Loans"), with certain financial institutions (collectively,
the "LENDERS") and Citicorp USA, Inc., as administrative agent for the
Lenders (in such capacity, the "ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT").

            B. Under Section 8.2.7 of the Credit Agreement, the Borrower has
agreed not to make any Restricted Payments (as therein defined) unless, INTER
ALIA, the Debt Service Reserve Requirement (as therein defined) is satisfied.

            C. The Debt Service Reserve Requirement may be satisfied by cash,
certain letters of credit, a guarantee by the Guarantor or a combination
thereof.

            D. In connection with the issuance by the Borrower of $300
million in aggregate principal amount of Senior Secured Bonds due 2019 and
$530 million in aggregate principal amount of Senior Secured Bonds due 2026
(collectively, the "BONDS"; the trustee to the holders thereof, the
"TRUSTEE"), the parties thereto have entered into Amendment No. 1, dated as
May 27, 1999, pursuant to which the Guarantee Amount has been reduced to U.S.
$3,000,000).

            E. The Guarantor has requested, and, upon this Amendment becoming
effective, the Collateral Agent has agreed, that the amount of the guarantee
provided for in the Guarantee be amended in the manner provided for in this
Amendment.

      1. AMENDMENTS.

            1.1 AMENDMENT OF DEFINITIONS. The definition of the term "Guarantee
      Cap" contained in Section 1(b) of the Guarantee is hereby amended by

            1.2 AMENDMENT OF SECTION 2. Section 2(a) of the Guarantee is hereby
      amended by deleting the phrase "during any Fiscal Quarter shall in no
      event exceed the Guarantee Amount for such Fiscal Quarter" at the end of
      the second sentence of Section 2(a) of the Guarantee and replacing it with
      the following:

            "shall in no event exceed the Guarantee Amount".

      2. COUNTERPARTS. This Amendment may be executed by the parties hereto
in any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken

unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be
ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

      5. CONDITIONS TO EFFECTIVENESS. The amendment provided for herein shall
become effective on the date the Collateral Agent shall have received
