of interest payable on this Bond on such dates to equal the amount of outstanding Obligations (as defined in the
Bond Delivery Agreement (as hereinafter defined)), other than principal, payable on such dates, as provided
below.  The principal amount of this Bond may increase or decrease from time to time.

         The principal of and interest on this Bond are payable, when due, at the offices of The Bank of New
York, Trustee, in New York, New York, or at such other agency or agencies as may be designated by the Company, in
such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for public and
private debts.

         This Bond is one of a series, designated as "Series 2005C, Due 2010," of a duly authorized issue of
bonds of the Company, known as its "First and Refunding Mortgage Bonds," issued and to be issued in one or more
series under, and all equally and ratably secured by, a Trust Indenture, dated as of October 1, 1923, and
indentures supplemental thereto, including the One Hundred Sixth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of January 27,
2005, which have been duly executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Company to The Bank of New York and D. G.
Donovan, or one of their predecessors, as Trustees, to which original indenture and indentures supplemental
thereto (collectively, the "Trust Indenture") reference is hereby made for a description of the property, rights
and franchises thereby mortgaged and pledged, the nature and extent of the security thereby created, the rights
of the holder of this Bond and of the Trustees in respect of such security, and the terms, restrictions and
conditions upon which the bonds are issued and secured.

         This Bond has been issued to the Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement, dated as of February
__, 2005, as amended from time to time (the "Credit Agreement"), among the Company and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.,
as Administrative Agent, Citicorp North America, Inc., as Syndication Agent, and the Lenders named therein, and
the Bond Delivery Agreement, dated as of the date of the Credit Agreement, as amended from time to time (the
"Bond Delivery Agreement"), between the Company and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, to provide
for the payment of the Obligations the Company is or becomes obligated to pay under the Credit Agreement and to
provide the benefits of the security afforded by this Bond and the Trust Indenture.

         Any payment of principal or interest, or other Obligations, made by the Company under the Credit
Agreement shall be deemed a payment in respect of the corresponding obligations under this Bond; provided that
such payment shall not reduce the principal amount of this Bond unless, and only to the extent that, the
aggregate amount of the Commitments (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is irrevocably reduced.  In the event
that all of the principal of and interest on the Loans, all reimbursement obligations with respect to Letters of
Credit, and the other Obligations with respect to the Loans and Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement that
are due upon the payment in full of

Page 6

the principal of and interest on the Loans and the termination of the Commitments therefor have been
paid in full and discharged or, following the Termination Date (as defined in the Credit Agreement) with respect
to Letters of Credit, cash collateralized or supported by a standby letter of credit pursuant to the terms of the
Credit Agreement, and the Commitments have been terminated, this Bond shall be deemed paid in full and the
Administrative Agent shall surrender this Bond to The Bank of New York, as Trustee, for cancellation in full.  At
the option of the Company, the Administrative Agent shall surrender this Bond to The Bank of New York, as
Trustee, for cancellation in full, upon the Company's having received the minimum unsecured debt rating and
satisfied the other conditions set forth in Section 9.14(b) of the Credit Agreement.

         This Bond shall be redeemed by the Company at the same time or times as the Loans or reimbursement
obligations with respect to Letters of Credit must be mandatorily prepaid under the Credit Agreement if an event
of default under the Credit Agreement causes the Loans or reimbursement obligations with respect to Letters of
Credit to become immediately due and payable.  The redemption price shall be an amount equal to the unpaid
principal of and accrued interest on the Loans, the reimbursement obligations with respect to Letters of Credit,
and all other outstanding Obligations with respect to the Loans and Letters of Credit, at the date of
redemption.  The holder of this Bond, by the acceptance hereof, does hereby waive any notice of redemption
provided by the Trust Indenture.  The Company covenants that moneys in the Special Trust Fund provided by the
Trust Indenture shall not be used for the purpose of redeeming or purchasing this Bond.

         If default shall be made in the payment of any installment of principal of or interest on this Bond that
is due and payable, or in the performance or observance of any of the covenants and agreements contained in the
Trust Indenture, and such default shall continue as provided in the Trust Indenture, then the principal of this
Bond may be declared and become due and payable as provided in the Trust Indenture.

         This Bond may not be transferred except to a successor Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement.
When so permitted, this Bond is transferable only on the books of the Company at any of the places designated
above for the payment, when due, of the outstanding principal of and premium, if any, or interest on this Bond,
or at such other agency or agencies as may be designated by the Company, by the registered owner or by an
attorney of such owner duly authorized in writing, on surrender hereof properly endorsed, and upon such surrender
hereof, and the payment of charges, a new registered bond or bonds of this series, of an equal aggregate
principal amount, will be issued to the transferee in lieu hereof, as provided in the Trust Indenture.

         The terms of the Trust Indenture may be modified as set forth in the Trust Indenture; provided, however,
that, among other things, (a) the obligation of the Company to pay, when due, the outstanding principal of and
premium, if any, and interest on all bonds outstanding under the Trust Indenture, as at the time in effect, shall
continue unimpaired, (b) no modification shall give any of said bonds any preference

Pasge 7

over any other of said bonds, and (c) no modification shall authorize the creation of any lien prior to
the lien of the Trust Indenture on any of the trust property.

         No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, or interest on this
Bond, or any part thereof, or for or on account of the consideration herefor, or for any claim based hereon, or
otherwise in respect hereof, or of the Trust Indenture, against any past, present or future stockholder, officer
or director of the Company or of any predecessor or successor company, whether for amounts unpaid on stock
subscriptions, or by virtue of any statue or constitution, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty, or
because of any representation or inference arising from the capitalization of the Company or of such predecessor
or successor company, or otherwise; all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as a part of the
consideration for the issue hereof, expressly released.

         This Bond shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose until it shall have been authenticated by the
execution of the certificate of authentication hereon of The Bank of New York, Trustee, or its successor in trust.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Southern California Edison Company has caused this Bond to be executed in its name
by its President or one of its Vice Presidents and its corporate seal to be hereto affixed and attested by its
Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries, as of ____________, 20__, such execution and attestation to be by
