(including by facsimile transmission) of such redemption, at least 30 days, but not more than 60 days, prior to the date fixed for

Failure to so provide such notice to the holder of any Bond shall not affect the validity of the redemption proceedings with respect

                  The Bonds shall be in substantially the form set forth in a resolution of the Board of Directors or the Executive
Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, or a certificate evidencing action by an officer or officers of the Company, and

Supplemental Indenture or as may be required to comply with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), any other
laws, any other rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any securities exchange, or as may, consistently herewith, be
determined to be necessary or appropriate by the officers executing the Bonds, as evidenced by their execution of the Bonds.

                  The Bonds initially shall be represented by one or more securities in registered, global form without interest
coupons ("Global Bonds").  Each certificate for Global Bonds shall represent the aggregate principal of outstanding Bonds from time
to time endorsed thereon and the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Bonds represented thereby may from time to time be reduced
or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions.  Any endorsement of a Global Bond certificate to reflect the
amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Bonds represented thereby shall be made by BNY
Midwest Trust Company, as Agent for The Bank of New York, Trustee, as registrar for the Bonds (the "Bond Registrar"), in accordance
with instructions given by the registered holder thereof.

                  The Company initially appoints The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") to act as depositary with respect to the Global
Bonds (together with any successor, the "Depositary").  Each certificate representing Global Bonds shall bear a legend in
substantially the following form (the "Global Bond Legend"):

                  Unless this certificate is presented by an authorized representative of The Depository Trust Company, a New York
                  corporation ("DTC"), to Southern California Edison Company or its Agent for registration or transfer, exchange, or

the Depositary (in accordance with its customary procedures).

                  When Certificated Bonds are presented to the Bond Registrar with a request to register the transfer of the
Certificated Bonds or to exchange such Certificated Bonds for an equal principal amount of Certificated Bonds of other authorized
denominations, the Bond Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its requirements for such
transactions are met.

this Supplemental Indenture shall be construed as if such provision had never been contained herein.

         This Bond is one of a series, designated as "Series 2004A, Due 2014," 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 First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of January 7, 2004, 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 holders 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 may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company, at any time prior to its
maturity, after notice given in writing (including by facsimile transmission) to the registered owner hereof at
the last address shown on the registry books of the Company, by the Company or The Bank of New York, as Trustee,
at least 30 days, but not more than 60 days, before the date fixed for redemption, at a redemption price equal to
the greater of (1) the principal amount redeemed or (2) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled
payments of principal and interest on this Bond being redeemed, discounted to the date fixed for redemption on a
semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Yield plus 15
basis points, plus in each case accrued and unpaid interest to the date fixed for redemption.

         "Treasury Yield" means, for any date fixed for redemption, the rate per year equal to the semi-annual
equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue
(expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for the date fixed for
redemption.

         "Comparable Treasury Issue" means the United States Treasury security or securities selected by an
Independent Investment Banker as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term to
stated maturity of this Bond that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary
financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining
term of this Bond.

         "Comparable Treasury Price" means, for any date fixed for redemption, (1) the average of the bid and
asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount)
on the third business day preceding the date fixed for redemption, as set forth in the daily statistical release
(or any successor release) published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and designated "Composite 3:30 p.m.
Quotations for U.S. Government Securities" or (2) if that release (or any successor release) is not published or
does not contain those prices

Page 4

on that business day, (A) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for the date fixed for
redemption, or (B) if the Independent Investment Banker obtains fewer than four Reference Treasury Dealer
Quotations, the average of all of the Quotations.

         "Independent Investment Banker" means Citigroup Global Markets Inc. ("Citigroup") or its successor or,
if such firm or its successor is unwilling or unable to select the Comparable Treasury Issue, one of the
remaining Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by The Bank of New York, as Trustee, after consultation with the
Company.

         "Reference Treasury Dealer" means (1) Citigroup, J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. ("JPMorgan"), and Lehman
Brothers Inc. ("Lehman Brothers") and any other primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City (a
"Primary Treasury Dealer") designated by, and not affiliated with Citigroup or its successors, provided, however,
that if Citigroup, JPMorgan, and Lehman Brothers, or any of their designees, ceases to be a Primary Treasury
Dealer, the Company will appoint another Primary Treasury Dealer as a substitute, and (2) any other Primary
Treasury Dealer selected by the Company.

         "Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations" means, for each Reference Treasury Dealer and any date fixed for
redemption, the average, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, of the bid and asked prices for the
Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to
the Independent Investment Banker by the Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m. on the third business day
preceding the date fixed for redemption.

         If the Company elects to redeem fewer than all the Series 2004A Bonds, The Bank of New York, as Trustee,
will select the particular bonds to be redeemed on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such other method of random
selection, if any, that The Bank of New York, as Trustee, deems fair and appropriate.

         Any notice of redemption, at the Company's option, may state that the redemption will be conditional
upon receipt by the paying agent, on or prior to the date fixed for the redemption, of money sufficient to pay
the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Series 2004A Bonds to be redeemed and that if
the money has not been so received, the notice will be of no force and effect and the Company will not be
required to redeem this Bond.

         The Trust Indenture makes provision for a Special Trust Fund and permits the use of moneys therein for
the purpose, among others, 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 or
in the performance or observance of any of the covenants and agreements contained in the Trust Indenture, and
such default shall continue as

Page 5

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 is transferable only on the books of the Company at any of the places designated above for the
payment of the 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, (1) the obligation of the Company to pay the 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,
(2) no modification shall give any of said bonds any preference over any other of said bonds, and (3) 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, as 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

         This Bond is one of a series, designated as "Series 2004B, Due [2034]," 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 First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of January 7, 2004, 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 holders 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 may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company, at any time prior to its
maturity, after notice given in writing (including by facsimile transmission) to the registered owner hereof at
the last address shown on the registry books of the Company, by the Company or The Bank of New York, as Trustee,
at least 30 days, but not more than 60 days, before the date fixed for redemption, at a redemption price equal to
the greater of (1) the principal amount redeemed or (2) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled
payments of principal and interest on this Bond being redeemed, discounted to the date fixed for redemption on a
semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Yield plus 20
basis points, plus in each case accrued and unpaid interest to the date fixed for redemption.

         "Treasury Yield" means, for any date fixed for redemption, the rate per year equal to the semi-annual
equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue
(expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for the date fixed for
redemption.

         "Comparable Treasury Issue" means the United States Treasury security or securities selected by an
Independent Investment Banker as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term to
stated maturity of this Bond that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary
financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining
term of this Bond.

         "Comparable Treasury Price" means, for any date fixed for redemption, (1) the average of the bid and
asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount)
on the third business day preceding the date fixed for redemption, as set forth in the daily statistical release
(or any

Page 9

successor release) published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and designated "Composite 3:30 p.m.
Quotations for U.S. Government Securities" or (2) if that release (or any successor release) is not published or
does not contain those prices on that business day, (A) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations
for the date fixed for redemption, or (B) if the Independent Investment Banker obtains fewer than four Reference
Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all of the Quotations.

         "Independent Investment Banker" means Citigroup Global Markets Inc. ("Citigroup") or its successor or,
if such firm or its successor is unwilling or unable to select the Comparable Treasury Issue, one of the
remaining Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by The Bank of New York, as Trustee, after consultation with the
Company.

         "Reference Treasury Dealer" means (1) Citigroup, J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. ("JPMorgan"), and Lehman
Brothers Inc. ("Lehman Brothers") and any other primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City (a
"Primary Treasury Dealer") designated by, and not affiliated with Citigroup or its successors, provided, however,
that if Citigroup, JPMorgan, and Lehman Brothers, or any of their designees, ceases to be a Primary Treasury
Dealer, the Company will appoint another Primary Treasury Dealer as a substitute, and (2) any other Primary
Treasury Dealer selected by the Company.

         "Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations" means, for each Reference Treasury Dealer and any date fixed for
redemption, the average, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, of the bid and asked prices for the
Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to
the Independent Investment Banker by the Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m. on the third business day
preceding the date fixed for redemption.

         If the Company elects to redeem fewer than all the Series 2004B Bonds, The Bank of New York, as Trustee,
will select the particular bonds to be redeemed on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such other method of random
selection, if any, that The Bank of New York, as Trustee, deems fair and appropriate.

         Any notice of redemption, at the Company's option, may state that the redemption will be conditional
upon receipt by the paying agent, on or prior to the date fixed for the redemption, of money sufficient to pay
the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Series 2004B Bonds to be redeemed and that if
the money has not been so received, the notice will be of no force and effect and the Company will not be
required to redeem this Bond.

         The Trust Indenture makes provision for a Special Trust Fund and permits the use of moneys therein for
the purpose, among others, of redeeming or purchasing this Bond.

Page 10

         If default shall be made in the payment of any installment of principal of or interest on this Bond 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 is transferable only on the books of the Company at any of the places designated above for the
payment of the 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, (1) the obligation of the Company to pay the 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,
(2) no modification shall give any of said bonds any preference over any other of said bonds, and (3) 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, as Trustee, or its successor in
trust.

No. ____                                                                        $_____________

         SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON COMPANY, a corporation organized and existing under and by virtue of the laws
of the State of California (hereinafter called the "Company"), for value received, hereby promises to pay to
_____________________, the registered owner hereof, the principal sum of $_______________ on January 13, 2006,
and to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount hereof to the registered owner

Page 13

hereof from January 14, 2004, until said principal sum shall be paid, at a floating interest rate as
determined below, payable semiannually on January 13, April 13, July 13, and October 13 in each year.  Such
interest shall be paid to the person in whose name this Bond is registered at the close of business on (1) the
business day immediately preceding the interest payment date if this Bond is in book-entry only form, or (2) the
15th calendar day before each interest payment date if this Bond is not in book-entry only form.

         The interest rate on this Bond for the initial interest period will be the three-month London interbank
offered rate ("LIBOR"), determined as described below, on January 12, 2004, plus 0.30%.  The interest rate on
this Bond for each subsequent interest period will be reset quarterly on each interest payment date.  This Bond
will bear interest at an annual rate (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day
year) equal to three-month LIBOR plus 0.30%.

         The interest rate in effect for this Bond on each day will be, (1) if that day is an interest reset
date, the interest rate determined as of the determination date (as defined below) immediately preceding that
interest reset date, or (2) if that day is not an interest reset date, the interest rate determined as of the
determination date immediately preceding the most recent interest reset date.  The "determination date" will be
the second London Business Day (as defined below) immediately preceding the applicable interest reset date.

         The calculation agent initially will be The Bank of New York.  LIBOR will be determined by the
calculation agent as of the applicable determination date in accordance with the following provisions:

         (1)    LIBOR will be determined on the basis of the offered rates for deposits in U.S. dollars of not
                less than U.S. $1,000,000 having a three-month maturity, beginning on the second London Business
                Day immediately following that determination date, which appears on Telerate Page 3750 (as
                defined below) as of approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on that determination date.
                "Telerate Page 3750" means the display designated on page "3750" on Moneyline Telerate, Inc. (or
                such other page as may replace the 3750 page on that service, any successor service or such other
                service or services as may be nominated by the British Bankers' Association for the purpose of
                displaying London interbank offered rates for U.S. dollar deposits).  If no rate appears on
                Telerate Page 3750, LIBOR for such determination date will be determined in accordance with the
                provisions of paragraph (2) below.

         (2)    With respect to a determination date on which no rate appears on Telerate Page 3750 as of
                approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on that determination date, the calculation agent will
                request the principal London office of each of four major reference banks (which may include an
                affiliate of one or more underwriters) in the London interbank market selected by the

Page 14

                calculation agent (after consultation with the Company) to provide the calculation agent with a
                quotation of the rate at which deposits of U.S. dollars having a three-month maturity, beginning
                on the second London Business Day immediately following that determination date, are offered by
                it to prime banks in the London interbank market as of approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on
                that determination date in a principal amount equal to an amount of not less than U.S. $1,000,000
                that is representative for a single transaction in that market at that time.  If at least two
                quotations are provided, LIBOR for that determination date will be the arithmetic mean of the
                quotations as calculated by the calculation agent.  If fewer than two quotations are provided,
                LIBOR for that determination date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted as of
                approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on that determination date by three major banks
                selected by the calculation agent (after consultation with us) for loans in U.S. dollars to
                leading European banks having a three-month maturity beginning on the second London Business Day
                immediately following that determination date and in a principal amount equal to an amount of not
                less than U.S. $1,000,000 that is representative for a single transaction in that market at that
                time; provided, however, that if the banks selected by the calculation agent are not quoting the
                rates described in this sentence, LIBOR for that determination date will be LIBOR determined with
                respect to the immediately preceding determination date, or in the case of the first
                determination date, LIBOR for the initial interest period.

         All percentages resulting from any of the above calculations will be rounded, if necessary, to the
nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded
upwards (e.g., 9.876545% (or .09876545) being rounded to 9.87655% (or .0987655)) and all dollar amounts used in
or resulting from such calculations will be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded
upwards).

         If the date of maturity of this Bond falls on a day that is not a LIBOR Business Day (as defined below),
the related payment of principal and interest will be made on the next LIBOR Business Day as if it were made on
the date that payment was due, and no interest will accrue on the amounts so payable for the period from and
after that date to the next LIBOR Business Day.  If any interest reset date or interest payment date (other than
at the date of maturity) would otherwise be a day that is not a LIBOR Business Day, that interest reset date and
interest payment date will be postponed to the next date that is a LIBOR Business Day, except that if that a
LIBOR Business Day is in the next calendar month, that interest reset date and interest payment date (other than
at the date of maturity) will be the immediately preceding LIBOR Business Day.

         "LIBOR Business Day" means any day other than Saturday or Sunday or a day on which banking institutions
or trust companies in the City of New York are required or authorized to close and that is also a London Business
Day.

Page 15

         "London Business Day" means any day on which dealings in deposits in U.S. dollars are transacted in the
London interbank market.

         The principal of and interest on this Bond are payable at the offices of The Bank of New York, as
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

         This Bond is one of a series, designated as "Series 2004C, Due 2006," 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

franchises thereby mortgaged and pledged, the nature and extent of the security thereby created, the rights of
the holders 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 may not be redeemed prior to its maturity.
