Exhibit 10.2.2

CONSOLIDATED EDISON COMPANY OF NEW YORK, INC.
DEFERRED INCOME PLAN
PREAMBLE
The Supplemental Thrift Savings Plan of Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc., effective as of January 1, 1994, has been amended and restated in its entirety and renamed the Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. Deferred Income Plan (the “Plan”), effective as of April 1, 1999.  The purpose of the Plan is to provide a means (i) for receiving employer matching contributions for those employees participating in The Con Edison Thrift Savings Plan (the “Thrift Savings Plan”) with respect to whom salary deferral and matching contributions under the Thrift Savings Plan are or will be limited by application of the limitations imposed on qualified plans by certain sections of the Code (as defined below); (ii) of providing such employees with an opportunity to defer a portion of their salary in accordance with the terms of the Plan as hereinafter set forth; and (iii) of providing employees who receive an “Incentive Award,” as such term is defined in the Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. Executive Incentive Plan (the “Executive Incentive Plan”) or the 2005 Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. Executive Incentive Plan, as applicable, with an opportunity to defer receipt of all or a portion of such Incentive Award.
All benefits payable under this Plan, which is intended to constitute a nonqualified, unfunded deferred compensation plan for a select group of management employees under Title I of ERISA, shall be paid out of the general assets of the Company.  The Company may establish and fund a trust in order to aid it in providing benefits due under the Plan.  Effective September 1, 2000, the Plan was amended to provide, among other provisions, the right of a Participant who has not terminated employment to make an irrevocable election to distribute payment of his or her Supplemental Salary Deferral Account, Mandatory Bonus Deferral Account, Optional Bonus Deferral Account and Other Deferrals to a date earlier than the 

1

Exhibit 10.2.2

Participant’s Separation from Service (as defined below); to permit the Participant to elect subsequent redeferrals of payments to distribute up to the fifteenth anniversary of his or her Separation from Service; and to permit Affiliated Companies to adopt the Plan on behalf of some or all of their eligible employees.  The Plan was amended effective January 1, 2006 to comply with Proposed Treasury Regulations §§ 1.409A-1 to -6.  The Plan was amended effective January 1, 2008 to comply with the final Treasury Regulations of Section 409A.  No portion of the benefits accrued under this Plan prior to January 1, 2005 shall be “grandfathered” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. 
The Plan was amended effective January 1, 2013 to adopt the recommendations from the Total Rewards Study which, by increasing the employer matching contribution for Participants who are covered under the cash balance formula in the Consolidated Edison Retirement Plan (“Retirement Plan”), increased the Basic Salary Deferral (as defined below) for these Participants.  
In November 2016, the Board of Directors of Consolidated Edison, Inc., the Board of Trustees of the Company, the Board of Directors of Orange & Rockland Utilities, Inc., and the Board of Directors of Con Edison Transmission, Inc., (the “Boards”), adopted resolutions that froze future participation in the Retirement Plan and the Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. Supplemental Retirement Income Plan for employees hired on or after January 1, 2017, and amended the Plan to provide for the restoration of retirement benefits that cannot be paid under the Thrift Savings Plan due to qualified plan limitations under the Code. These actions were taken by the Boards in connection with resolutions freezing entry to the Consolidated Edison Retirement Plan and the Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. Supplemental Retirement Income Plan for employees hired on or after January 1, 2017.
Effective June 1, 2017, the Plan is amended to expand the definition of “Eligible Employee” to include Participants who elect under the Pension Choice Program to transfer

prospectively to the Defined Contribution Plan Formula (the “DCPF”) in the Thrift Savings Plan, and who then participate in the DCPF under the Plan.  In addition, because of the inclusion of the DCPF in the Thrift Savings Plan, there may be Thrift Savings Plan participants whose annual contributions to that plan exceed the limits set forth in Section 415(c) of the Code.

Notwithstanding any Plan provision to the contrary, at the discretion and direction of the Board of Trustees, the Plan may assume liabilities with respect to benefits accrued by a Participant under a plan maintained by such Participant’s former employer, and upon such assumption such liabilities shall become the obligation of the Company.
6.09    Section 409A
This Plan is intended to satisfy the applicable requirements of Section 409A and shall be performed and interpreted consistent with such intent.  If the Plan Administrator determines, in good faith, that any provision of this Plan does not satisfy such requirements or could otherwise cause any person to recognize additional taxes, penalties or interest under Section 409A, the Plan Administrator shall modify, to the maximum extent practicable, the original intent of the applicable provision without violation of the requirements of Section 409A (“Section 409A 

47

Exhibit 10.2.2

Compliance”), and, notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Plan Administrator shall have broad authority to amend or to modify the Plan, without advance notice to or consent by any person, to the extent necessary or desirable to ensure Section 409A Compliance.  Any determinations by the Plan Administrator shall be final and binding on all parties.
6.10    Claims and Review Procedure
a.Applications for benefits and inquiries concerning the Plan (or concerning present or future rights to benefits under the Plan) must be submitted in writing to the Plan Administrator. An application for benefits must be submitted and signed by the Participant or, in the case of a benefit payable after his or her death, by his or her Beneficiary, or a duly authorized legal representative.
b.In the event that an application for benefits is denied in whole or in part, the Plan Administrator will notify the applicant in writing of the denial and of the right to review of the denial. The written notice will set forth, in a manner calculated to be understood by the applicant, specific reasons for the denial, specific references to the provisions of the Plan on which the denial is based, a description of any information or material necessary for the applicant to perfect the application, an explanation of why the material is necessary, and an explanation of the review procedure under the Plan.  The written notice from the Plan Administrator will be given to the applicant within a reasonable period of time, not more than 90 days, after the Plan Administrator received the initial application, unless special circumstances require further time for processing and the applicant is advised of the need and reason for the extension within the first 90-day period.  The applicant will also be informed of the date by which the Plan Administrator expects to render the decision. In no event will the initial decision be given more than 180 days after the Plan Administrator received the application.  The Plan Administrator has 

48

Exhibit 10.2.2

the authority to act with respect to any appeal from a denial of benefits or a determination of benefit rights.
c.An applicant whose application for benefits was denied in whole or part, or the applicant’s duly authorized representative, may appeal the denial by submitting to the Plan Administrator a request for a review of the application within 60 days after receiving written notice of the denial from the Plan Administrator.  The Plan Administrator will give the applicant or his or her representative an opportunity to review pertinent materials, other than legally privileged documents, in preparing the request for a review.  The request for a review must be in writing and addressed to the Plan Administrator.  The request for a review shall set forth all of the grounds on which it is based, all facts in support of the request and any other matters that the applicant deems pertinent.  The Plan Administrator may require the applicant to submit such additional facts, documents or other materials as it may deem necessary or appropriate in making its review. 
d.The Plan Administrator will act on each request for a review within 60 days after receipt, unless special circumstances require further time for processing by the Plan Administrator and the applicant is advised of the need and reason for the extension. In no event will the decision on review be rendered more than 120 days after the Plan Administrator received the request for a review.  The Plan Administrator will give prompt written notice of its decision to the applicant.  In the event that the Plan Administrator confirms the denial of the application for benefits in whole or in part, the notice will set forth, in a manner calculated to be understood by the applicant, the specific reasons for the decision and specific references to the provisions of the Plan on which the decision is based. 
e.The Plan Administrator has discretionary authority to administer the plan, including interpreting the terms, determining eligibility for, entitlement to and amount of benefits 

49

Exhibit 10.2.2

under the Plan, determining any facts and resolving any questions relevant to administration of the Plan and remedying and correcting any ambiguities, inconsistencies or omissions in the Plan.  Any action taken by the Plan Administrator pursuant to such discretionary authority shall be conclusive and binding on all participants, beneficiaries and others.
The Plan Administrator shall adopt such rules, procedures and interpretations of the Plan as deemed necessary or appropriate in carrying out the Plan Administrator responsibilities under this Section.
f.No legal action for benefits under the Plan may be brought unless and until the claimant has submitted a written application for benefits in accordance with paragraph (a), has been notified by the Plan Administrator that the application is denied, has filed a written request for a review of the application in accordance with paragraph (c), and has been notified in writing that the Plan Administrator has affirmed the denial of the application; provided, however, that legal action may be brought after the Plan Administrator has failed to take any action on the claim within the time prescribed by paragraphs (b) and (d) above.
6.11    Construction
a.The Plan is intended to constitute an unfunded deferred compensation arrangement maintained for a select group of management or highly  compensated employees within the meaning of Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3), and 401(a)(1) of ERISA, and all rights under this Plan shall be governed by ERISA.  Subject to the preceding sentence, the Plan shall be construed, regulated and administered under the laws of the State of New York; to the extent such laws are not superseded by applicable federal law.

50

Exhibit 10.2.2

b.The illegality of any particular provision of this document shall not affect the other provisions and the document shall be construed in all respects as if such invalid provision were omitted.
c.The headings and subheadings in the Plan have been inserted for convenience of reference only, and are to be ignored in any construction of the provisions thereof.
6.12    Adoption by Affiliated Companies
a.Any Affiliated Company may adopt this Plan with the consent of the Company.  Upon the effective date of the Plan with respect to an Affiliated Company that adopts the Plan, such adopting Affiliated Company delegates all fiduciary and administrative responsibilities (including the appointment and removal of fiduciaries) under the Plan to the Company, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the Plan Administrator of the Plan.
b.Any Affiliated Company that has adopted the Plan may withdraw its adoption of the Plan at any time without affecting other Participants in the Plan by delivering to the Plan Administrator a certified copy of resolutions of the board of directors of the Affiliated Company to that effect.  The Company may, in its absolute discretion, terminate the participation in the Plan of any Affiliated Company at any time such Affiliated Company fails to discharge its obligations under the Plan.
c.Any grantor trust established pursuant to Section 6.01 of the Plan may provide that separate sub trusts shall be created to fund the benefits of the Participants of each Affiliated Company that has adopted the Plan, that assets held in a sub trust with respect to the obligations of an Affiliated Company shall be available only to satisfy the liabilities of such Affiliated Company under the Plan and that any assets held in a sub trust with respect to the obligations of an Affiliated Company under the Plan will be subject to the 

51

Exhibit 10.2.2

claims of only that Affiliated Company’s general creditors under federal and state law in the event of such Affiliated Company’s insolvency.
