sixty days prior to the date of the meeting to each shareholder entitled to vote
thereat.  The notice shall state the place, day, and hour of such
meeting, and those matters which the Board, at the time of mailing, intends to

 Notice of any meeting of the shareholders
shall be given by mail or telegraphic or other written communication, postage
prepaid, to each holder of record of the stock entitled to vote thereat, at his

 At an annual meeting of shareholders, only
such business shall be conducted as shall have been properly brought before the
annual meeting.  To be properly brought before an annual meeting,
business must be (i) specified in the notice of the annual meeting (or any
supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board, or
(ii) otherwise properly brought before the annual meeting by a
shareholder.  For business to be properly brought before an annual
meeting by a shareholder, including the nomination of any person (other than a
person nominated by or at the direction of the Board) for election to the Board,
the shareholder must have given timely and proper written notice to the
Corporate Secretary of the Corporation.  To be timely, the
shareholder’s written notice must be received at the principal executive office
of the Corporation not less than forty-five days before the date corresponding
to the mailing date of the notice and proxy materials for the prior year’s
annual meeting of shareholders; provided, however, that if the annual meeting to
which the shareholder’s written notice relates is to be held on a date that
differs by more than thirty days from the date of the last annual meeting of
shareholders, the shareholder’s written notice to be timely must be so received
not later than the close of business on the tenth day
  
  following the date
on which public disclosure of the date of the annual meeting is made or given to
shareholders.  Any shareholder’s written notice that is delivered
after the close of business (5:00 p.m. local time) will be considered received
on the following business day.  To be proper, the shareholder’s
written notice must set forth as to each matter the shareholder proposes to
bring before the annual meeting (a) a brief description of the business desired
to be brought before the annual meeting, (b) the name and address of the
shareholder as they appear on the Corporation’s books, (c) the class and
number of shares of the Corporation that are beneficially owned by the
shareholder, and (d) any material interest of the shareholder in such
business.  In addition, if the shareholder’s written notice relates to
the nomination at the annual meeting of any person for election to the Board,
such notice to be proper must also set forth (a) the name, age, business
address, and residence address of each person to be so nominated, (b) the
principal occupation or employment of each such person, (c) the number of shares
of capital stock of the Corporation beneficially owned by each such person, and
(d) such other information concerning each such person as would be required
under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission in a proxy statement
soliciting proxies for the election of such person as a Director, and must be
accompanied by a consent, signed by each such person, to serve as a Director of
the Corporation if elected.  Notwithstanding anything in the Bylaws to
the contrary, no business shall be conducted at an annual meeting except in
accordance with the procedures set forth in thisSection.

of the votes at the meeting.  Such request shall state the purposes of
the meeting, and shall be delivered to the Chairman of the Board, the Vice
Chairman of the Board, the Chairman of the Executive Committee, the Chief
Executive Officer, the President or the Corporate Secretary.
 
 A special meeting so requested shall be held
on the date requested, but not less than thirty-five nor more than sixty days
after the date of the original request.  Written notice of each
special meeting of shareholders, stating the place, day, and hour of such
meeting and the business proposed to be transacted thereat, shall be given in
the manner stipulated in Article I, Section 2, Paragraph 3 of these Bylaws
within twenty days after receipt of the written request.
 
 4.       Voting at
Meetings.At any meeting of the shareholders, each holder of

or collectively consent in writing to such action.  Such written
consent or consents shall be filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the
Board of Directors.
 
 8.       Meetings by Conference
Telephone.  Any meeting, regular or special, of the Board of
Directors or of any committee of the Board of Directors, may be held by

 9.       Majority Voting.  In
any uncontested election, nominees receiving the affirmative vote of a majority
of the shares represented and voting at a duly held meeting at which a quorum is

of the required quorum) shall be elected.  In any election that is not
an uncontested election, the nominees receiving the highest number of
affirmative votes of the shares entitled to be voted for them, up to the number
of directors to be elected by those shares, shall be elected; votes against a
director and votes withheld shall have no legal effect.

number of nominees for election does not exceed the number of directors to be
elected by the shareholders at that election.
 
 If an incumbent director fails, in an
uncontested election, to receive the vote required to be elected in accordance
with this Article II, Section 9, then, unless the incumbent director has earlier
resigned, the term of such incumbent director shall end on the date that is the
earlier of (a) ninety (90) days after the date on which the voting results are
determined pursuant to Section 707 of the California Corporations Code, or (b)

held by that director in accordance with the procedures set forth in these
Bylaws and Section 305 of the California Corporations Code.

Shareholders.  So long as PG&E Corporation shall hold the
majority of the outstanding shares of the Corporation, PG&E Corporation may
require the written consent of the PG&E Corporation Chairman of the Board or
the PG&E Corporation Chief Executive Officer to enter into and execute any
transaction or type of transaction identified by the Board of Directors of

adopted resolution of the Board of Directors of PG&E Corporation as

or the PG&E Corporation Chief Executive Officer pursuant to this Section
10.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 10 shall
