 Dear Nick:

 I am pleased to offer you the position of Executive Vice President, Gas Operations, of Pacific Gas and Electric Company, reporting to
Chris Johns, President. The terms of this offer, and your hire, have been approved by the Boards of Directors of PG&E Corporation and Pacific Gas and Electric Company. We are planning a start date of June 13, 2011. 

Your total annual compensation package will consist of the following: 
  

	1.	 An annual base salary of $525,000 ($43,750/month) subject to ordinary withholdings. 

 

	2.	 A one time sign on bonus of $150,000, which at your option will be paid either a) on your first payroll check, subject to ordinary withholdings or b)
deposited to a deferred compensation account (Under the SRSP referenced below) in your behalf. Please let us know which you prefer. Should you decide to resign from the Company within two years of your start date, you will repay the Company this
sign on bonus, on a prorated basis. 

  

	3.	 You are eligible to participate in the company’s Short-Term Incentive Plan (STIP) with a target participation rate of 55% percent of your eligible
earnings (i.e., base salary) received during the plan year. You must be on PG&E’s active payroll as of October 1 to be eligible for a payout for that year. The STIP is an at-risk component of pay that rewards employees annually, and is
tied to company and individual performance. Thus, STIP awards are not guaranteed. The Compensation Committee retains full discretion to determine and award STIP payments to PG&E employees. 

 

	4.	 You are eligible to receive a new hire award under PG&E Corporation’s Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP). Your initial LTIP award will consist of 50
percent restricted stock units that vest over a four-year period, and 50 percent performance shares that vest at the end of a three year performance period. (The value of the performance shares will be determined at the end of the performance period
based on the performance of PG&E Corporation stock relative to a group of twelve comparable companies). The date of your LTIP award will occur on the later of your hire date or the date your award is approved by the Compensation Committee;
however if your award date occurs during a “trading blackout” period, then the award date will be the first business day after the trading blackout ends. 

Your LTIP award will have an initial value of $1,200,000. This value is used for the purpose of determining the number of units of
your award. The ultimate value that you realize through the LTIP will depend on your employment status and the performance of PG&E Corporation common stock. You will receive additional details on the LTIP at the time of your award. 

	5.	 You will also receive an additional one-time LTIP award with an initial value of $750,000. This award will be comprised of all restricted stock units. 50
percent of the award will vest on the first anniversary of the grant date, and 50 percent will vest on the second anniversary of the grant date. The date of your LTIP award will occur on the later of your hire date or the date your award is approved
by the Compensation Committee; however if your award date occurs during a “trading blackout” period, then the award date will be the first business day after the trading blackout ends. 

 

	6.	 As an employee, you also will be eligible for additional LTIP awards, which typically are granted in March of each year. These LTIP awards consist of an equal
number of restricted stock units (which also vest over a four-year period, with a larger percentage vesting in the 4th year) and performance shares (the value of which will be determined in the same way mentioned above). The Compensation Committee retains full discretion as to the approval of LTIP award form, amounts, and terms.

  

	7.	 Participation in the PG&E Corporation Retirement Savings Plan (RSP), a 401(k) savings plan. You will be eligible to contribute as much as 50% of your
salary on either a pre-tax or after-tax basis. We will match contributions up to 6% of your salary at 75 cents on each dollar contributed. All of the above contributions are subject to the applicable legal limits. 

With respect to benefits at retirement, conditioned upon meeting plan requirements, you also will be eligible for retirement
benefits under the Company’s retirement (pension), post-retirement life insurance and retiree medical plans. 
  

	8.	 Participation in the PG&E Corporation Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP). The basic benefit payable from the SERP at retirement is a monthly
annuity equal to the product of 1.7% x (average of the three highest years’ combination of salary and annual incentive for the last ten years of service) x years of credited service x 1/12. This benefit will be offset by benefits provided under
the qualified retirement plan. 

  

	9.	 Participation in the PG&E Corporation Supplemental Retirement Savings Plan (SRSP), a non-qualified, deferred compensation plan. You may elect to defer
payment of some of your compensation on a pre-tax basis. The Company will provide you with full matching contributions that cannot be provided through the RSP due to IRS limitations imposed on highly compensated employees.

  

	10.	 An annual vacation allotment of four weeks, subject to future increases based on length of service. For your first year, the vacation allotment will be
prorated based on your date of hire. In addition, Pacific Gas and Electric Company recognizes ten paid company holidays and provides three floating holidays and two weeks of sick leave immediately upon hire. 

 

	11.	 An annual perquisite allowance of $25,000 to be used in lieu of individual authorizations for cars and memberships in clubs and civic organizations. Because
your start date is before June 30, you will receive 100% of this amount for your first year. 

  

	12.	 Participation in PG&E’s health benefits program which permits you to select coverage tailored to your personal needs and circumstances. The benefits
you elect will be effective the first of the month following the date of your hire and upon receipt of completed enrollment forms. 

  

	13.	 Participation in the Employee Discount program after six months of continuous service following your date of hire. The program offers participants a 25%
discount on electricity and gas rates for their primary residence. In order to receive this benefit, you must (a) live within Pacific Gas and Electric Company’s service territory and (b) have the service in your name at your primary
residence. 

	14.	 Our employment offer also includes a comprehensive executive relocation package. The major components include reimbursement of the costs associated with the
sale and purchase of your principal residence, the move of your household goods, two house hunting trips, temporary living expenses and a final trip to San Francisco. We’ve agreed to extend your temporary housing in San Francisco for up to 12
months, if you need it. Some of our relocation benefits may constitute additional income to you and are subject to personal income tax. Our director of relocation Denise Nicco is dedicated to help. 

Additionally, we will provide an annual payment of $100,000 for 3 years, to assist in the transition to higher housing costs. The
payment will coincide with the first mortgage payment. 
 The subsidy is considered income and will be subject to all
appropriate withholding taxes. The taxes are your responsibility. 
 Before your start date you will need to pass a standard drug analysis
test. We will also need to verify your eligibility to work in the United States based on applicable immigration laws. 
 Nick, we look forward to you
joining our team. You will be a fantastic executive here. 
 Sincerely,

 Sr. Vice President, Human
Resources

 Please acknowledge your acceptance of this offer and the terms of this letter by signing the
original, providing the information requested, and returning it to me. It is important to note that you will be an employee-at-will. This means that either you or PG&E Corporation may end your employment at any time, with or without cause, and
with or without notice.

 Attachment 

 PG&E CORPORATION 

2006 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN 
 RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT FOR NONEMPLOYEE DIRECTORS 
  

			
	 The LTIP and
 Other
 Agreements
	  	 This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding between you and PG&E Corporation regarding the Restricted Stock Units, subject to the terms of the LTIP.
Any prior agreements, commitments, or negotiations are superseded. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and the LTIP, the LTIP shall govern. Capitalized terms that are not defined in this Agreement
are defined in the LTIP.

		
	 Grant of
 Restricted Stock
 Units
	  	 PG&E Corporation grants you the number of Restricted Stock Units shown on the cover sheet of this Agreement. The Restricted Stock Units are subject to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement and the LTIP.

		
	 Vesting of
 Restricted Stock
 Units
	  	 In general, provided that you have not had a Separation from Service, your Restricted Stock Units will vest one year from the Date of Grant shown on the cover
sheet to this Agreement (the “Normal Vesting Date”). As set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, the Restricted Stock Units may vest earlier upon the occurrence of certain events.

		
	 Dividends
	  	 Your Restricted Stock Unit account will be credited quarterly on each dividend payment date with additional Restricted Stock Units (including fractions computed
to three decimal places), determined by dividing (1) the amount of cash dividends paid on the number of shares of PG&E Corporation Common Stock represented by the Restricted Stock Units previously credited to your Restricted Stock Unit account
by (2) the Fair Market Value of a share of PG&E Corporation Stock on the dividend payment date. Such additional Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to the same terms and conditions and shall be settled in the same manner and at the same time
as the Restricted Stock Units covered by this Agreement.

		
	 Settlement
	  	 Vested Restricted Stock Units will be settled in an equal number of shares of PG&E Corporation common stock (a “Share”), rounded down to the
nearest whole share. PG&E Corporation shall issue shares in settlement of vested Restricted Stock Units upon the earliest of (1) the Normal Vesting Date, (2) your Disability (as defined under Section 409A of the Code), (3) your death, (4) a
Section 409A Change in Control, or (5) your Separation from Service following a Change in Control that does not qualify as a Section 409A Change in Control.

		
	 Separation of
 Service
	  	 If you have a Separation from Service, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, before the Normal Vesting Date, all Restricted Stock Units subject to this Agreement
that have not vested on account of your death, Disability (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) or a Change in Control will be automatically cancelled and forfeited, provided, however, that if you Separate from Service due to a pending
Disability

			
		
		  	 determination, forfeiture shall not occur until a finding that such Disability has not occurred.

		
	 Death/Disability
	  	 In the event of your Disability (as defined in Section 409A of the Code) or death, all Restricted Stock Units credited to your account under this Agreement will
immediately become fully vested and be settled in accordance with the settlement provisions described above.

		
	 Change in
 Control
	  	 In the event of a Change in Control, all Restricted Stock Units credited to your account under this Agreement will immediately become fully vested and be settled
in accordance with the settlement provisions described above.

		
	 Delay
	  	 PG&E Corporation shall delay the issuance of any shares of common stock to the extent it is necessary to comply with Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code
(relating to payments made to certain “key employees” of certain publicly traded companies); in such event, any shares of common stock to which you would otherwise be entitled during the six (6) month period following the date of your
Separation from Service (or shorter period ending on the date of your death following such Separation from Service) will instead be issued on the first business day following the expiration of the applicable delay period.

		
	 Withholding
 Taxes
	  	 PG&E Corporation generally will not be required to withhold taxes on taxable income recognized by you upon settlement of your Restricted Stock Units.
However, any taxes that are required to be withheld will be payable by you in cash, by check, or through deductions from your compensation. Also, the Board may, in its discretion and subject to such restrictions as the Board may impose, permit you
to satisfy such tax withholding obligations by electing to have PG&E Corporation withhold otherwise deliverable Shares having a fair market value equal to the amount that would be required to be withheld.

		
	 Voting and Other

Rights
	  	 You shall not have voting rights with respect to the Restricted Stock Units until the date the underlying shares are issued (as evidenced by appropriate entry on
the books of PG&E Corporation or its duly authorized transfer agent).

		
	 Applicable Law
	  	 This Agreement will be interpreted and enforced under the laws of the State of California.
