ARTICLE 3
BENEFIT DETERMINATION AND VESTING

		
	3.1
	Overview

Benefits under the Plan will be payable with respect to any vested Participant following Retirement or the occurrence of a Contingent Event to the extent a benefit under the Plan is determined to exist by calculations as provided under Section 3.3(a).
		
	3.2
	Benefit Features

(a)    The Plan provides a supplemental retirement benefit calculated in accordance with Section 3.3 below. The Plan incorporates the following Benefit Features:
(i)    Recognition of the amount of Salary that is not recognized for purposes of calculating benefits under the Qualified Plan or Profit Sharing contributions to the Savings Plan due to limits imposed by the Code under Sections 415(b) or 401(a)(17).
(ii)    Recognition of deferred Salary that is not recognized for purposes of calculating benefits under the Qualified Plan or Profit Sharing contributions to the Savings Plan.
(iii)    Recognition of Bonuses that are not recognized for purposes of calculating benefits under the Qualified Plan.
(b)    Participants who are Senior Officers on the date of their termination of employment are eligible for all three Benefit Features. Other Participants are eligible for Benefit Features (i) and (ii) only; provided, however, as to a Participant who was once a Senior Officer but who is not described in the immediately preceding sentence, such Participant shall be eligible for Benefit Features (i) and (ii) only, but his or her benefits shall not be less than if the Participant had terminated employment on December 11, 2012 and had Bonuses recognized for purposes of determining his or her benefits as of December 11, 2012.  
(c)    Participants in the Predecessor Plan on December 31, 1994 and Participants who were CEOs, Presidents, Executive Vice Presidents or Senior Vice Presidents of EIX or its Affiliates or elected Vice Presidents of EIX, Southern California Edison Company or Edison Capital prior to January 1, 2006, are also eligible for all three Benefit Features and an additional 0.75% benefit accrual for each Year of Service up to ten Years of Service, unless they were participants in the Predecessor Plan on December 31, 1992 and elected not to participate in the Executive Disability and Survivor Benefit Program, in which case they are eligible for all three Benefit Features but not for the additional 0.75% benefit accrual.

5

(d)    Notwithstanding the above, elected Vice Presidents of Edison Mission Energy, Edison Mission Marketing and Trading, and Midwest Generation whose Separation from Service occurred prior to January 1, 2006, are eligible for Benefit Features (i) and (ii) only.
		
	3.3
	Benefit Computation

(a)    EIX will calculate at the time of a Participant’s death, Disability or Separation from Service the amount of any benefit payable under the Plan. The benefit payable under this Plan will be the greater of (1) the value of the single life annuity calculated pursuant to Section 3.3(b), reduced by (i) the value of the single life annuity (unreduced for a contingent annuitant) payable to the Participant under the terms of the Qualified Plan, or other Affiliate defined benefit plan, after taking into account any applicable restrictions or limitations as to such payments required by the Code or other applicable law or the terms of the Qualified Plan, or other applicable Affiliate defined benefit plan; (ii) the actuarial single life annuity value, as defined in the Qualified Plan, of the Participant’s Profit Sharing Account under the Savings Plan, or a successor plan; and (iii) the portion of the Participant’s Social Security benefit specified in the Qualified Plan or (2) the actuarial single life annuity value of the notional account derived from any Executive Profit Sharing Credits allocated to the Participant plus earnings thereon.
(b)    The Participant’s Total Compensation and Years of Service will be used to calculate the value of the single life annuity benefit based on the “Supplemental A” formula set forth in Section 4.02(a) of the Qualified Plan, including Subsection (1) but excluding Subsection (2), and Section 4.12(b) of the Qualified Plan, and also, in the case of Disability, Exhibit B of the Qualified Plan, or, in the case of Termination of Employment, Exhibit G of the Qualified Plan, notwithstanding the Participant’s eligibility for such benefits under the terms of the Qualified Plan. If the final Bonus is determined after benefits under the Plan are paid or commenced, the benefit will be recalculated from inception and a one-time adjustment will be made to true-up payments already made, and future payments, if any, will be adjusted accordingly. Any true up‐payment will be made within two and one-half months of the date the final Bonus is determined.
(c)    If a Participant is entitled to benefits under the Severance Plan or any similar successor plan as in effect upon the Participant’s Separation from Service, and has satisfied all conditions for such benefits, then an additional Year of Service credit (in the case of a Qualifying Termination Event associated with a Change in Control as defined in the Severance Plan, two years for Senior Vice Presidents and Executive Vice Presidents of EIX or Southern California Edison Company, but three years for the CEO of EIX, the President of Southern California Edison Company, or the General Counsel or Chief Financial Officer of EIX) and an additional year of age (in the case of a Qualifying Termination Event associated with a Change in Control as defined in the Severance Plan, two years for Senior Vice Presidents and Executive Vice Presidents of EIX or Southern California Edison Company, but three years for the CEO of EIX, the President of Southern California Edison Company, or the General Counsel or Chief Financial Officer of EIX) shall be included for purposes of the benefit calculation under Section 3.3(b), including in applying the benefit formula under the Qualified Plan for grandfathered employees who are not yet age 55 but who have 68 points. The value added to the Plan benefit by this severance enhancement shall be the difference between the gross benefit calculated as described in Section 3.3(b) but with the additional age and service credits, before any reduction for benefits under other plans pursuant to Section 3.3(a), and the unenhanced gross benefit calculated under 

6

Section 3.3(b). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.3(c), if a Participant becomes entitled to benefits under the Severance Plan or any similar successor plan and is subsequently rehired as an Executive prior to the date lump sum payments or initial installment or annuity payments commence, the Participant shall not be entitled to any additional Year of Service or age credits under this Section 3.3.
(d)    Participants who are also eligible for Profit Sharing may receive Executive Profit Sharing Credits. If any Profit Sharing contribution is reduced because a portion of the Participant’s Salary is excluded either because of nonqualified Salary deferrals or the limits imposed by Sections 415 and 401(a)(17) of the Code, the amount by which the contribution was reduced will be credited to a notional Executive Profit Sharing Credit account under the Plan as of the date of the Profit Sharing contribution. Amounts in this notional account will earn notional interest at the rates in effect for cash balance interest credits in the Qualified Plan, credited daily and compounded annually. The resulting notional Executive Profit Sharing Credit amount will be taken into account in calculating the Plan benefit as described in Section 3.3(a).
(e)    The lump sum value of the benefit payable under the Plan as of the Valuation Date will be actuarially determined as the present value of the Participant’s single life annuity benefit under the Plan as of that date, using the discount rate and mortality table then in effect for lump sum determination in the Qualified Plan, except that the lump sum value may not be less than the value of the notional Executive Profit Sharing Credit account balance as of that date. A notional account will be established as the Plan Benefit as of the Valuation Date, with an initial value equal to the lump sum value. The account will be credited with interest at the interest crediting rates in effect for the Qualified Plan until the account has been fully paid out according to the terms of the Plan and the Participant’s Payment Election.
		
	3.4
	Vesting

The right to receive benefits under the Plan will vest (i) when the Participant has completed five Years of Service with an Affiliate, (ii) upon the Participant’s Disability while employed with an Affiliate, (iii) upon the Participant’s death while employed with an Affiliate, or (iv) upon the Participant’s Separation from Service if the Participant is entitled to benefits under the Severance Plan and has satisfied all conditions for such benefits.  
		
	3.5
	Benefit of Former Executives

A vested Participant who remains employed with an Affiliate until Retirement but is no longer a designated Executive will retain a benefit in the Plan based on the Participant’s Total Compensation and service determined as of the last date of the Participant’s eligible status and reduced by the amounts specified in Section 3.3(a) determined upon the Participant’s Retirement.

ARTICLE 4
PAYMENT ELECTIONS
		
	4.1
	Primary Payment Election 

Each year, a Participant may make a Primary Payment Election specifying the payment schedule for the benefits to be accrued in the following Plan Year by submitting an election to the Administrator in such time and manner established by the Administrator. The election made in one year shall apply for subsequent years unless prior to a subsequent year the Participant submits a new payment election for the subsequent year. By way of example, benefits attributable to Bonus compensation will be treated as accrued during the Plan Year when the relevant services are performed (and not any later year when the Bonus is actually paid), and any benefits attributable to additional Year of Service or age credits triggered by a Participant’s Separation from Service under the Severance Plan will be treated as accrued during the Plan Year when the Participant’s Separation from Service occurs. 
On or before December 31, 2008, Participants may make a special Primary Payment Election in accordance with the transition rule under Section 409A of the Code for Plan benefits previously scheduled to commence payment after the calendar year in which the special Primary Payment Election is made.
The choices available for a Primary Payment Election are as follows: 
(a)    Joint and survivor life annuity paid in monthly installments; or
(b)    Contingent life annuity paid in monthly installments; or
(c)    Monthly installments for 60 to 180 months, as provided in the applicable Primary 
    Payment Election form; or 
(d)    A single lump sum; or
(e)    Two to fifteen installments paid annually, as provided in the applicable     Primary Payment Election form; or
		
	(f)
	Any combination of the choices listed in (c), (d) and (e), as provided in the applicable Primary Payment Election form. 

Payments under a Primary Payment Election may commence upon (i) the Participant’s Retirement, (ii) the later of the Participant’s Retirement or the first day of a specific month and year, or (iii) the first day of the month that is a specified number of months and/or years following the Participant’s Retirement or the first day of a specified month a specified number of years following the calendar year in which the Participant’s Retirement occurs (provided that if the date otherwise determined pursuant to clauses (ii) and (iii) is later than the later of the Participant’s Retirement or the month and year in which the Participant attains age 75, the date pursuant to clauses (ii) and (iii) shall be the later of the Participant’s Retirement or the month and year in which the Participant attains age 75). If the Participant elects under a Primary Payment Election to receive payment pursuant to clause (ii) and the Participant dies prior to the later of Retirement or the specified payment date, payment shall be made pursuant to the Participant’s 

8

Contingent Payment Election (if any) for the Participant’s death (regardless of whether the Participant’s death occurs while the Participant is employed by an Affiliate or thereafter).
Subject to Section 4.5, lump sum payments or initial installment or annuity payments will be made within 90 days (60 days in the case of a payment triggered by a specified payment date) of the scheduled dates, and interest will be added to the payment amount for the days elapsed between the scheduled payment date and the actual date of payment.  If the Participant’s delivery of a release would change the amount of his or her Plan benefit, and the period for the Participant to consider, execute, and revoke such release spans two different calendar years, and the 90- or 60-day period, as applicable, specified above for the payment of any benefit contingent on such release also spans those two years, payment of the portion of the benefit contingent upon such release (and earnings thereon) shall be made in the time period otherwise specified above but in the second of those two years.
If paid in installments, the installments will be paid in amounts that will amortize the balance with interest credited at the interest crediting rates in effect for the Qualified Plan over the period of time benefits are to be paid.  For purposes of calculating installments, the account will be valued as of the Valuation Date and subsequently as of December 31 each year with installments adjusted for the next calendar year according to procedures established by the Administrator.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, distribution in installments shall be treated as a single payment as of the date of the initial installment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. If paid in monthly installments, the installments may be paid in a single check or in more than one check for any given month, provided that in either such case the total amount of the monthly payment shall not change.
If no Primary Payment Election has been made, the Primary Payment Election shall be deemed to be a joint and survivor annuity paid in monthly installments commencing upon the Participant’s Retirement (or, if earlier, the Participant’s death or Disability). 
		
	4.2
	Contingent Payment Elections 

Each year, a Participant may make Contingent Payment Elections for each of the Contingent Events of (1) the Participant’s death while employed by an Affiliate, (2) the Participant’s Disability while employed by an Affiliate, and (3) Termination of Employment for the benefits to be accrued in the following Plan Year, which election will take effect upon the first Contingent Event that occurs before the Participant’s Retirement, by submitting an election to the Administrator in such time and manner established by the Administrator. The choices available for the Contingent Payment Elections are those specified in Section 4.1 except that the references to Retirement shall instead be the applicable Contingent Event if the event is death or Disability or the first day of the month of the Participant’s 55th birthday (or, if later, Termination of Employment) if the Contingent Event is Termination of Employment. The election made in one year shall apply for subsequent years unless prior to a subsequent year the Participant submits a new Payment Election for the subsequent year. 
If the Participant has made no Contingent Payment Election and a Contingent Event occurs prior to Retirement, the Administrator will pay the benefit as specified in the Participant’s 

9

Primary Payment Election, except that payments scheduled for payment or commencement of payment “upon Retirement,” or with a payment date determined by reference to Retirement, will be paid, commence or have payment determined by reference to the first day of the month following the date of the Contingent Event if the Contingent Event is the Participant’s death or Disability, but will be the first day of the month of the Participant’s 55th birthday (or, if later, Termination of Employment) if the Contingent Event is Termination of Employment. If a Contingent Event occurs prior to Retirement and the Participant has made neither a Primary Payment Election nor a Contingent Payment Election, the Payment Election shall be deemed to be a joint and survivor life annuity payable on the first day of the month following the date of the Contingent Event if the Contingent Event is the Participant’s death or Disability, but payable on the first day of the month of the Participant’s 55th birthday (or, if later, the first day of the month following the month in which the Participant’s final day of employment occurs prior to Termination of Employment) if the Contingent Event is Termination of Employment. 
		
	4.3
	Changes to Payment Elections 

Participants may change a Primary Payment Election or Contingent Payment Election, including a deemed Payment Election, by submitting a new written Payment Election to the Administrator, subject to the following conditions: (1) the new Payment Election shall not be effective unless made at least twelve months before the payment or commencement date scheduled under the prior Payment Election, (2) the new Payment Election must defer a lump sum payment or commencement of installment or life annuity payments for a period of at least five years from the date that the lump sum would have been paid or installment or life annuity payments would have commenced under the prior Payment Election and (3) the election shall not be effective until twelve months after it is filed with the Administrator. If at the time a new Payment Election is filed the Administrator determines that imposition of the five-year delay would require that a Participant’s payments begin after he or she has attained age 75, then the Participant will not be permitted to make a new Payment Election. The payment schedules available under a new Payment Election are those specified in Sections 4.1 and 4.2 (as applicable) that are available for new Payment Elections at the time the new Payment Election is made, subject to the conditions specified in this paragraph. 
Participants who have elected a form of life annuity as their Primary Payment Election or Contingent Payment Election (including any deemed Payment Election) may change such election from one form of life annuity to another form of life annuity otherwise permitted by the Plan by submitting a new written Payment Election to the Administrator, subject to the following conditions: (1) the new Payment Election shall not be effective unless made before the payment or commencement date scheduled under the prior Payment Election, (2) the payment or commencement date under the prior Payment Election is not changed (or the change is made pursuant to the provisions of the preceding paragraph), and (3) the annuities are actuarially equivalent (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(ii).
		
	4.4
	Small Benefit Exception 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion and as determined by it in writing, pay the benefits in a single lump sum if the sum of all benefits payable to the Participant under this Plan and all Similar Plans is less than or equal to the 

10

applicable dollar amount under Section 402(g)(1)(B) of the Code. 
		
	4.5
	Six-Month Delay in Payment for Specified Employees 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that a Participant who is a Specified Employee is entitled to a distribution from the Plan due to the Participant’s Separation from Service, the lump sum payment or the commencement of installment or life annuity payments, as the case may be, may not be scheduled to occur or occur before the date that is the earlier of (1) six months following the Participant’s Separation from Service for reasons other than death or (2) the Participant’s death. 
		
	4.6
	Conflict of Interest Exception, Etc. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, pay benefits in a single lump sum if permitted under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(iii). In addition, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, accelerate benefits if and to the extent permitted under any of the other exceptions specified in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(j)(4) to the general rule in Section 409A of the Code prohibiting accelerated payments, provided that the terms of Section 4.4 of the Plan shall govern whether benefits will be paid in a single lump sum pursuant to the small benefit exception contained in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(v).
ARTICLE 5 
SURVIVOR BENEFITS 
		
	5.1
	Payment

Following the Participant’s death, payment of the benefit will be made to the Participant’s Beneficiary or Beneficiaries according to the payment schedule elected or deemed elected according to Article 4. 
		
	5.2
	Benefit Computation 

In addition, if the applicable Payment Election or deemed Payment Election is for a joint and survivor life annuity, the survivor benefit is 50% of the Participant’s annuity amount, payable only to the spouse married to the Participant at the earlier of the commencement of Plan benefit payments to the Participant or the Participant’s death, but actuarially reduced if that spouse is more than five years younger than the Participant. If the election is for a contingent life annuity, the survivor benefit will be as elected. The survivor benefit associated with a life annuity will be calculated in a manner consistent with the survivor benefit provisions of the Qualified Plan except that this Plan will govern where its provisions under Section 3.3 are inconsistent with those of the Qualified Plan. The annuity value will be calculated as specified above and converted to a lump sum according to the provisions in Section 3.3(e). 

11

ARTICLE 6 
BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION 

The Participant will have the right, at any time, to designate any person or persons or entity as Beneficiary (both primary and contingent) to whom payment under the Plan will be made in the event of the Participant’s death; provided that if the Participant has elected (or is deemed to have elected) a Payment Election in the form of a joint and survivor life annuity or a contingent life annuity and designates a new person or entity as Beneficiary after annuity payments have commenced, the annuity payments to such newly designated Beneficiary must be made in the same amounts and at the same times as payments would have been made to the designated Beneficiary immediately preceding the commencement of payments. The Beneficiary designation will be effective when it is submitted to the Administrator during the Participant’s lifetime in accordance with procedures established by the Administrator. 
The submission of a new Beneficiary designation will cancel all prior Beneficiary designations. Any finalized divorce or marriage of a Participant subsequent to the date of a Beneficiary designation will revoke such designation, unless in the case of divorce the previous spouse was not designated as a Beneficiary, and unless in the case of marriage the Participant’s new spouse has previously been designated as Beneficiary. The spouse of a married Participant must consent in writing to any designation of a Beneficiary other than the spouse.
If a Participant fails to designate a Beneficiary as provided above, or if the Beneficiary designation is revoked by marriage, divorce, or otherwise without execution of a new designation, or if every person designated as Beneficiary predeceases the Participant, then the Administrator will direct the distribution of the benefits to the Participant’s estate. If a primary Beneficiary dies after the Participant’s death but prior to completion of the distribution of benefits under this Plan, and no contingent Beneficiary has been designated by the Participant, any remaining payments will be made to the primary Beneficiary’s Beneficiary, if one has been designated, or to the Beneficiary’s estate. 
ARTICLE 7 
CONDITIONS RELATED TO BENEFITS 
		
	7.1
	Nonassignability

The benefits provided under the Plan may not be alienated, assigned, transferred, pledged or hypothecated by or to any person or entity, at any time or any manner whatsoever. These benefits will be exempt from the claims of creditors of any Participant or other claimants and from all orders, decrees, levies, garnishment or executions against any Participant to the fullest extent allowed by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the benefit payable to a Participant may be assigned in full or in part, pursuant to a domestic relations order of a court of competent jurisdiction.
		
	7.2
	Unforeseeable Emergency 

A Retired Participant, a Participant who has a Disability, or a Participant who is age 55 or older may submit a hardship distribution request to the Administrator in writing setting forth the reasons for the request. The Administrator will have the sole authority to approve or deny such 

12

requests. Upon a finding that the Participant has suffered an Unforeseeable Emergency, the Administrator may in its discretion, permit the Participant to accelerate distributions of benefits under the Plan in the amount reasonably necessary to alleviate the Unforeseeable Emergency. 
		
	7.3
	No Right to Assets

A Participant’s benefits paid under the Plan will be paid from the general funds of the Participant’s Employer, and the Participant and any Beneficiary will be no more than unsecured general creditors of that Employer with no special or prior right to any assets of the Employer for payment of any obligations hereunder. Neither the Participant nor the Beneficiary will have a claim to benefits from any other Affiliate. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in the definition of “Employer” to the contrary, and at the sole discretion of EIX, EIX may determine that for purposes of benefits payable under the Plan, EIX shall be deemed to be the Employer obligated to pay such benefits. Such an election by EIX may be made, in EIX’s sole discretion, as to all Plan benefits, as to only certain benefits, and/or as to only certain Affiliates or Participants, and will be deemed an assumption of the specified benefit obligations of the applicable Affiliates. Subject to the further provisions hereof, EIX will be solely obligated to pay any such benefits and no Participant (or Beneficiary) will have a claim as to any other Affiliate with respect to such benefits. Upon an election by EIX under this Section 7.3, benefits covered by the election will be paid from the general funds of EIX (and not the Affiliate that would otherwise pay the benefits), provided that EIX may require that as between EIX and the Affiliate that would otherwise pay such benefits, the Affiliate will be responsible to pay EIX for the assumption of such obligations in accordance with funding arrangements determined by EIX at the time of election or any time thereafter. To the extent such Affiliate fails to comply with such funding arrangements or obtains any refund or offset of payments made from the Affiliate to EIX without the consent of EIX, the Affiliate that would otherwise be responsible for payment of benefits to the applicable Participant will remain responsible for such benefits. EIX will effectuate any such election pursuant to this Section 7.3 by providing written notice to the Administrator and the applicable Affiliates regarding the effective date of such election, and the benefits, Affiliates and Participants for which the election is applicable. The funding arrangements established by EIX at the time of its election, or from time to time thereafter, will set forth the method by which the Affiliates will remit funds to EIX in consideration of Plan benefit obligations that are assumed by EIX. Such a method may include, but is not limited to, lump sum payment by an Affiliate to EIX of relevant benefits accrued through the date of EIX’s election based on the Projected Benefit Obligation (“PBO”) with regular periodic payments to EIX of continuing accruals; regular periodic payments by an Affiliate to EIX of benefits accrued based on the PBO beginning with the date of EIX’s election through the date such benefits become due under the Plan; lump sum payment by an Affiliate to EIX at the time benefits become due under the Plan; or intercompany payables and receivables used with funding on a “pay-as-you-go” basis. Projected Benefit Obligation represents the actuarial present value of vested and non-vested benefit obligation based on expected future Total Compensation of Executives. 
		
	7.4
	Protective Provisions

The Participant will cooperate with the Administrator by furnishing any and all information requested by the Administrator, in order to facilitate the payment of benefits 

13

hereunder, taking such physical examinations as the Administrator may deem necessary and signing such consents to insure or taking such other actions as may be requested by the Administrator. If the Participant refuses to cooperate, the Administrator and the Employer will have no further obligation to the Participant under the Plan.
		
	7.5
	Constructive Receipt 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, in the event the Administrator determines that amounts deferred under the Plan have failed to comply with Section 409A and must be recognized as income for federal income tax purposes, distribution of the amounts included in a Participant’s income will be made to such Participant. The determination of the Administrator under this Section 7.5 will be binding and conclusive.
		
	7.6
	Withholding

The Participant or the Beneficiary will make appropriate arrangements with the Administrator for satisfaction of any federal, state or local income tax withholding requirements and Social Security or other employee tax requirements applicable to the accrual or payment of benefits under the Plan. If no other arrangements are made, the Administrator may provide, at its discretion, for such withholding and tax payments as may be required.
		
	7.7
	Incapacity

If any person entitled to payments under this Plan is incapacitated and unable to use such payments in his or her own best interest, EIX may direct that payments (or any portion) be made to that person’s legal guardian or conservator, or that person’s spouse, as an alternative to payment to the person unable to use the payments. EIX will have no obligation to supervise the use of such payments, and court-appointed guardianship or conservatorship may be required.
ARTICLE 8
PLAN ADMINISTRATION
		
	8.1
	Plan Interpretation

The Administrator will administer the Plan and interpret, construe and apply its provisions in accordance with its terms and will provide direction and oversight as necessary to management, staff, or contractors to whom day-to-day Plan operations may be delegated. The Administrator will establish, adopt or revise such rules and regulations as it may deem necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan. The Administrator will interpret and construe the Plan to comply with Section 409A of the Code. All decisions of the Administrator will be final and binding. 
		
	8.2
	Limited Liability

Neither the Administrator, nor any of its members or designees, will be liable to any person for any action taken or omitted in connection with the interpretation and administration of this Plan.

14

ARTICLE 9 
AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF PLAN
		
	9.1
	Authority to Amend or Terminate

The Administrator will have full power and authority to prospectively modify or terminate this Plan, and the Administrator’s interpretations, constructions and actions, including any determination of the Participant’s account or benefits, or the amount or recipient of the payment to be made, will be binding and conclusive on all persons for all purposes. Absent the consent of the Participant, however, the Administrator will in no event have any authority to modify this section. However, no such amendment or termination will apply to any person who has then qualified for or is receiving benefits under this Plan.
		
	9.2
	Limitations

In the event of Plan amendment or termination which has the effect of eliminating or reducing a benefit under the Plan, the benefit payable on account of a retired Participant or Beneficiary will not be impaired, and the benefits of other Participants will not be less than the benefit to which each such Participant would have been entitled if he or she had retired immediately prior to such amendment or termination.
ARTICLE 10 
CLAIMS AND REVIEW PROCEDURES
		
	10.1
	Claims Procedure for Claims Other Than Due to Disability

(a)    Except for claims due to Disability, the Administrator will notify a Participant or his or her Beneficiary (or person submitting a claim on behalf of the Participant or Beneficiary) (a “claimant”) in writing, within 90 days after his or her written application for benefits, of his or her eligibility or noneligibility for benefits under the Plan. If the Administrator determines that a claimant is not eligible for benefits or full benefits, the notice will set forth (1) the specific reasons for the denial, (2) a specific reference to the provisions of the Plan on which the denial is based, (3) a description of any additional information or material necessary for the claimant to perfect his or her claim, and a description of why it is needed, and (4) an explanation of the Plan’s claims review procedure and other appropriate information as to the steps to be taken if the claimant wishes to have the claim reviewed. If the Administrator determines that there are special circumstances requiring additional time to make a decision, the Administrator will notify the claimant of the special circumstances and the date by which a decision is expected to be made, and may extend the time for up to an additional 90-day period.
(b)    If a claimant is determined by the Administrator not to be eligible for benefits, or if the claimant believes that he or she is entitled to greater or different benefits, the claimant will have the opportunity to have the claim reviewed by the Administrator by filing a petition for review with the Administrator within 60 days after receipt of the notice issued by the Administrator. Said petition will state the specific reasons which the claimant believes entitle him or her to benefits or to greater or different benefits. Within 60 days after receipt by the Administrator of the petition, the Administrator will afford the claimant (and counsel, if any) an opportunity to present his or her position to the Administrator in writing, and the claimant (or 

15

counsel) will have the right to review the pertinent documents. The Administrator will notify the claimant of its decision in writing within the 60-day period, stating specifically the basis of its decision, written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant and the specific provisions of the Plan on which the decision is based. If, due to special circumstances (for example, because of the need for a hearing), the 60-day period is not sufficient, the decision may be deferred for up to another 60-day period at the election of the Administrator, but notice of this deferral will be given to the claimant. In the event of the death of the Participant, the same procedures will apply to the Participant’s Beneficiaries.
		
	10.2
	Claims Procedure for Claims Due to Disability

(a)    Within a reasonable period of time, but not later than 45 days after receipt of a claim due to Disability, the Administrator or its delegate shall notify the claimant of any adverse benefit determination on the claim, unless circumstances beyond the Plan’s control require an extension of time for processing the claim. Except as contemplated by this Section, no event may the extension period exceed 30 days from the end of the initial 45-day period. If an extension is necessary, the Administrator or its delegate shall provide the claimant with a written notice to this effect prior to the expiration of the initial 45-day period. The notice shall describe the circumstances requiring the extension and the date by which the Administrator or its delegate expects to render a determination on the claim. If, prior to the end of the first 30-day extension period, the Administrator or its delegate determines that, due to circumstances beyond the control of the Plan, a decision cannot be rendered within that extension period, the period for making the determination may be extended for an additional 30 days, so long as the Administrator or its delegate notifies the claimant, prior to the expiration of the first 30-day extension period, of the circumstances requiring the extension and the date as of which the Administrator or its delegate expects to render a decision. This notice of extension shall specifically describe the standards on which entitlement to a benefit is based, the unresolved issues that prevent a decision on the claim, and the additional information needed to resolve those issues, and that the claimant has at least 45 days within which to provide the specified information. 
(b)    In the case of an adverse benefit determination, the Administrator or its delegate shall provide to the claimant written or electronic notification setting forth in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant (i) the specific reason or reasons for the adverse benefit determination; (ii) reference to the specific Plan provisions on which the adverse benefit determination is based; (iii) a description of any additional material or information necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of why the material or information is necessary; (iv) a description of the Plan’s claim review procedures and the time limits applicable to such procedures, including a statement of the claimant’s right to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA following an adverse final benefit determination on review; (v) if an internal rule, guideline, protocol or similar criterion (“internal standard”) was relied upon in making the determination, a copy of the internal standard or a statement that the internal standard shall be provided to the claimant free of charge upon request; and (vi) if the determination is based on a medical necessity or experimental treatment or similar exclusion or limit, an explanation of the scientific or clinical judgment for the determination or a statement that such explanation shall be provided free of charge upon request. 
(c)    If a claimant is determined by the Administrator not to be eligible for benefits, or if the claimant believes that he or she is entitled to greater or different benefits, the claimant will 

16

have the opportunity to have the claim reviewed by the Administrator by filing a petition for review with the Administrator within 180 days after receipt of the notice issued by the Administrator. Said petition will state the specific reasons which the claimant believes entitle him or her to benefits or to greater or different benefits. Within 45 days after receipt by the Administrator of the petition, the Administrator will afford the claimant (and counsel, if any) an opportunity to present his or her position to the Administrator in writing, and the claimant (or counsel) will have the right to review the pertinent documents. The Administrator will notify the claimant of its decision in writing within the 45-day period, stating specifically the basis of its decision, written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant and including the information described in Section 10.2(b) above. If, due to special circumstances (for example, because of the need for a hearing), the 45-day period is not sufficient, the decision may be deferred for up to another 45-day period at the election of the Administrator, but notice of this deferral will be given to the claimant. In the event of the death of the Participant, the same procedures will apply to the Participant’s Beneficiaries.
		
	10.3
	Dispute Arbitration

(a)    Effective as to any claims filed on or after June 19, 2014, final and binding arbitration under this Section 10.3 shall be the sole remedy available to a claimant after he or she has exhausted the claim and review procedures set forth in Section 10.1.  Furthermore, exhaustion by the claimant of the claim and review procedures set forth in Section 10.1 is a mandatory prerequisite for binding arbitration under this Section 10.3.  Any arbitration or civil action brought prior to the exhaustion of the claim and review procedures set forth in Section 10.1 shall be remanded to the Administrator to permit the claim and review procedures to be exhausted.  
(b)    After a claimant has exhausted the claim and review procedures set forth in Section 10.1, if the claimant is determined by the Administrator not to be eligible for benefits, or if the claimant believes that he or she is entitled to greater or different benefits, the claimant may submit his or her claim to final and binding arbitration under this Section 10.3.
Any arbitration under this Section 10.3 will be held in Los Angeles County, California, in accordance with the then-current JAMS Arbitration Rules and Procedures for Employment Disputes (“JAMS Rules”) and under the Federal Arbitration Act.  The arbitration shall be before a sole arbitrator, selected by mutual agreement of the parties.  If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator, the arbitrator shall be selected by striking in accordance with the then-current JAMS Rules from a list of arbitrators supplied by JAMS.  Any and all claims and/or defenses that would otherwise be available in a court of law will be fully available to the parties.  The arbitrator selected pursuant to this paragraph (the “Arbitrator”) may order such discovery as is necessary for a full and fair exploration of the issues and dispute, consistent with the expedited nature of arbitration.  The Arbitrator shall apply applicable substantive law to resolve the dispute.  To the fullest extent provided by federal law, the decision rendered by the Administrator pursuant to the claim and review procedures set forth in Section 10.1 shall be upheld by the Arbitrator unless the Arbitrator determines that the Administrator abused its discretion.  Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if a Change in Control occurs, then a claim review decision rendered by the Administrator within the three years following the Change in Control shall, if it is challenged by the claimant in accordance with this Section 10.3, be subject to de novo review by the Arbitrator.  Subject to the applicable standard of review in the preceding two sentences, the 

17

Arbitrator may grant any award or relief available under applicable law that the Arbitrator deems just and equitable.  
At the conclusion of the arbitration, the Arbitrator shall issue a written decision that sets forth the essential findings and conclusions upon which the Arbitrator’s award or decision is based.  Any award or relief granted by the Arbitrator hereunder shall be final and binding on the parties hereto, and may be enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction.  All costs unique to arbitration (e.g., the Arbitrator’s fees and room fees) shall be paid by the Administrator.  The parties shall otherwise bear their own costs (e.g., attorneys’ fees, expert fees, witness fees, etc.).  If, however, any party prevails on a statutory claim that affords the prevailing party attorneys’ fees and costs, then the Arbitrator may award reasonable fees and costs to the prevailing party.
(c)    Notwithstanding any contrary provisions of this Section 10.3, if the claim is for Disability benefits, the following rules apply:  (1) arbitration under this Section 10.3 shall be the mandatory second level of appeal following the exhaustion by the claimant of the claim and review procedures set forth in Section 10.2, and such exhaustion is a mandatory prerequisite for arbitration under this Section 10.3—any arbitration or civil action brought with respect to a claim for Disability benefits prior to the exhaustion of the claim and review procedures set forth in Section 10.2 shall be remanded to the Administrator to permit the claim and review procedures to be exhausted; (2) arbitration of a claim for Disability benefits under this Section 10.3 shall not be binding, and the claimant shall not be precluded from challenging the decision of the Arbitrator in a civil action brought pursuant to Section 502(a) of ERISA; and (3) except as specifically set forth in this Section 10.3(c), if the claim is for Disability benefits, the arbitration shall be conducted as set forth in Section 10.3(b).

	11.1
	Participation in Other Plans

The Participant will continue to be entitled to participate in all employee benefit programs of the Employer as may, from time to time, be in effect. However, Total Compensation includable under this Plan will be deemed Salary or other compensation to the Participant for the purpose of computing benefits under this Plan only, and will be used only under this Plan to calculate those benefits to which the Participant would otherwise be entitled under the Qualified Plan or Savings Plan if such Total Compensation could have been included in the determination of benefits under such Plans.
		
	11.2
	Relationship to Qualified Plan

This Plan will to the fullest extent possible under currently applicable law be administered in accordance with, and where practicable according to the terms of the Qualified Plan and/or Savings Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the terms of this Plan shall control

	Forfeiture

The payments to be made pursuant to the Plan require the Participant, for so long as the Participant remains in the active employ of the Employer, to devote substantially all of his or her time, skill, diligence and attention to the business of the Employer and not to actively engage, either directly or indirectly, in any business or other activity adverse to the best interests of the business of the Employer. In addition, the Participant will remain available during Retirement for consultation in any matter related to the affairs of the Employer. Any breach of these conditions will result in complete forfeiture of any further benefits under the Plan. If the Participant will fail to observe any of the above conditions, or if he or she will be discharged by the Employer for malfeasance or willful neglect of duty, then in any of said events, the payments under this Plan will not be paid, and EIX and the Employer will have no further liability therefor.
		
	11.4
	Successors

The rights and obligations of each Employer under the Plan will inure to the benefit of, and will be binding upon, the successors and assigns of the Employer.
		
	11.5
	Trust

The Employers will be responsible for the payment of all benefits under the Plan. At their discretion, the Employers may establish one or more grantor trusts for the purpose of providing for payment of benefits under the Plan. The trust or trusts may be irrevocable, but an Employer’s share of the assets thereof will be subject to the claims of the Employer’s creditors. Benefits paid to the Participant from any such trust will be considered paid by the Employer for purposes of meeting the obligations of the Employer under the Plan.
		
	11.6
	Employment Not Guaranteed

Nothing contained in the Plan nor any action taken hereunder will be construed as a contract of employment or as giving any Participant any right to continue in employment with the Employer or any other Affiliate.
		
	11.7
	Gender, Singular and Plural

All pronouns and variations thereof will be deemed to refer to the masculine, feminine, or neuter, as the identity of the person or persons may require. As the context may require, the singular may be read as the plural and the plural as the singular.

The waiver by EIX or the Administrator of any breach of any provision of the Plan by the Participant will not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach by the Participant.
		
	11.11

The Plan will be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of California except where the laws of California are preempted by ERISA.
		
	11.12

The notice will be deemed given as of the date of delivery, or, if delivery is made by mail, as of the date shown on the postmark.
		
	11.13
	ERISA Plan

The Plan is intended to be an unfunded plan maintained primarily to provide deferred compensation benefits for “a select group of management or highly compensated employees” within the meaning of Sections 201, 301 and 401 of ERISA and therefore to be exempt from Parts 2, 3 and 4 of Title I of ERISA. EIX is the named fiduciary.

Exhibit 10.7

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON COMPANY

EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN

As Amended Effective June 19, 2014 

PREAMBLE

The purpose of this Plan is to provide supplemental retirement benefits to Participants and surviving spouses or other designated beneficiaries of such Participants.  

This Plan only applies to benefits that were accrued and vested prior to January 1, 2005 in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.04 hereof.  Benefits that accrue or vest on or after January 1, 2005 shall be paid under the Edison International 2008 Executive Retirement Plan (the “2008 Plan”) in accordance with the terms therein.  In no event shall a Participant receive benefits under this Plan and the 2008 Plan with respect to the same year of service.  This Plan document also includes provisions that were set forth in the Edison International Severance Plan as of October 3, 2004 but that applied to this Plan and are thus not material modifications of the Plan that would cause it to be subject to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  
I. 
DEFINITIONS

Capitalized terms in the text of the Plan are defined as follows:

Administrator means the Compensation and Executive Personnel Committee of the Southern California Edison Company Board of Directors.

Base Salary means the annual basic rate of pay as fixed by the Company (excluding Incentive Awards, special awards, commissions, severance pay, and other non-regular forms of compensation).

Beneficial Owner shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in Rule 13d-3 of the General Rules and Regulations under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Beneficiary means the person designated as such in accordance with Article IX of the Plan.

1

Benefit Feature means one of the levels of benefit under the Plan as described in Section 3.02(a).  

Board means the Board of Directors of EIX.

Cause means the occurrence of either or both of the following:  

		
	(1)
	The Participant’s conviction for, or pleading guilty or nolo contendere to, committing an act of fraud, embezzlement, theft, or other act constituting a felony; or 

		
	(2)
	The willful engaging by the Participant in misconduct that is:  

		
	(i)
	if the event giving rise to the termination of the Participant’s employment does not occur during a Protected Period, in violation of EIX’s and/or the Participant’s Employer’s policies and practices applicable to the Participant from time to time; or 

		
	(ii)
	if the event giving rise to the termination of the Participant’s employment occurs during a Protected Period, that would have resulted in the termination of the Participant’s employment by EIX or the Participant’s Employer under EIX’s and/or the Participant’s Employer’s policies and practices applicable to the Participant in effect immediately prior to the start of the Protected Period.  However, no act or failure to act, on the Participant’s part, shall be considered “willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, by the Participant not in good faith and without reasonable belief that his or her action or omission was in the best interest of EIX and his or her Employer.  

Change in Control means any one or more of the following:  

		
	(1)

For purposes of this clause, “Person” (or “group” as used in the definition of Person) shall not include one or more underwriters acquiring newly-issued voting securities (or securities convertible into voting securities) directly from EIX with a view towards distribution.  

		
	(2)
	On any day after January 1, 2001 (the “Measurement Date”) Continuing Directors cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the Board.  A director is a “Continuing Director” if he or she either:  

		
	(i)
	was a member of the Board on the applicable Initial Date (an “Initial Director”); or

	(ii)
	was elected to the Board, or was nominated for election by EIX’s shareholders, by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Initial Directors then in office.  

A member of the Board who was not a director on the applicable Initial Date shall be deemed to be an Initial Director for purposes of clause (ii) above if his or her election, or nomination for election by EIX’s shareholders, was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Initial Directors (including directors elected after the applicable Initial Date who are deemed to be Initial Directors by application of this provision) then in office.

Company means the Affiliate employing the Participant.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to a particular Participant’s benefits under the Plan, for purposes of determining which Employer is obligated to pay such benefits, Company as to such Participant and benefits means the Employer employing the Participant upon the Participant’s Termination of Employment (or, as to any distribution of any benefit under the Plan prior to the Participant’s Termination of Employment, the Employer employing the Participant at the time of such distribution).

Disability means the Participant’s eligibility for benefits under his or her Employer’s long-term disability plan applicable to the Participant, as determined by the Employer.  

EIX means Edison International or any successor thereto.

Employer means EIX or any affiliated business of EIX that has adopted this Plan with the written consent of EIX, including but not limited to Southern California Edison, Edison Capital, 

3

Financial Hardship means an unexpected and unforeseen financial disruption arising from an illness, casualty loss, sudden financial reversal, or other such unforeseeable occurrence as determined by the Administrator or its designee.  Needs arising from foreseeable events such as the purchase of a residence or education expenses for children will not, alone, be considered a Financial Hardship.

Sponsor means the Southern California Edison Company.

4

Termination Date means the last day the Participant is actually employed by an Employer in connection with the event that entitles the Participant to severance benefits.  

Termination of Employment means the voluntary or involuntary cessation of the Participant's employment with the Company for any reason other than death or Retirement.  Termination of Employment will not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of this Plan if the Participant is reemployed by another Affiliate within 30 days of ceasing work with the Company.

Total Compensation means (i) for non-Senior Officer Participants, the annualized average Base Salary as fixed by the Company based on the Participant’s 36 highest months of Base Salary, and (ii) for Senior Officers, the annualized average of Base Salary plus Incentive Award based on the 36 months in which the Participant had the highest combination of Base Salary and Incentive Award.  The 36 months need not be consecutive.  For purposes of determining the highest 36 months for Senior Officers, each of the Participant’s annual Incentive Awards will be spread evenly over the months worked in the years in which the Incentive Awards were earned.  In no event will Total Compensation be less than the dollar amount determined under the terms of the Plan in effect on March 31, 1999 for Employees who were Participants on that date.

Year of Service means a calendar year in which the Participant is credited with 1,000 or more hours of service with the Company determined in accordance with the terms of the Qualified Plan.

	Recognition of the amount of Base Salary that is not recognized for purposes of calculating benefits under the Qualified Plan due to limits imposed by the Code under Sections 415(b) or 401(a)(17).

		
	(ii)
	Recognition of deferred salary that is not recognized for purposes of calculating benefits under the Qualified Plan.

		
	(iii)
	Recognition of Incentive Awards that are not recognized for purposes of calculating benefits under the Qualified Plan.

		
	(iv)
	An additional 0.75% benefit accrual over that provided by the Qualified Plan is earned for each Year of Service up to ten Years of Service.  Plan eligibility during those years is not required.

(b)    Senior Officers are eligible for all four Benefit Features.  Other Participants are eligible for Benefit Features (i) and (ii) only.  

(c)    Participants in the Plan on December 31, 1994, are eligible for all four Benefit Features as long as they remain eligible to participate in the Plan, unless they were participants in the Plan on December 31, 1992 and did not elect to participate in the Executive Disability and Survivor Benefit Program, in which case they are not eligible for Benefit Feature (iv).
3.03 Benefit Computation
(a)    The Sponsor will calculate the amount of any benefits payable under the Plan for each Participant at the time of the Participant's Retirement, death, or termination with a deferred vested benefit.  The amount payable under this Plan will be that dollar amount calculated pursuant to Section 3.03(b), reduced by (i) the dollar amount payable to the Participant (or spouse or contingent annuitant) under the terms of the Qualified Plan, or other Affiliate defined benefit plan, after taking into account any applicable restrictions or limitations as to such payments required by the Code or other applicable law or the terms of the Qualified Plan, or other applicable Affiliate defined benefit plan, and (ii) the actuarial single life annuity value, as defined in the Qualified Plan, of the Participant’s Profit Sharing Account under the Sponsor’s Stock Savings Plus Plan, or successor plan.

(b)    The Participant’s Total Compensation will be used to calculate benefit amounts based on the formulas set forth in Section 4.02(a) of the Qualified Plan, including Subsection (1) but excluding Subsection (2), and Section 4.12(b) of the Qualified Plan, notwithstanding the Participant’s eligibility for such benefits under the terms of the Qualified Plan.  The initial calculation of any Plan benefits based on Total Compensation including Incentive Awards will assume a target bonus for the final year of employment subject to adjustment based on the actual Incentive Award made.  If the final Incentive Award is made after benefits under the Plan are paid or commenced under the Plan, the benefit will be recalculated from inception, any increase 

6

to date will be paid in a one-time adjustment to true-up payments already made, and future payments, if any, will be adjusted accordingly.  Any benefit decreases will be reflected in a one-time adjustment in the account balance effective with the payment starting the following January.  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, a maximum of 35 Years of Service will be recognized for purposes of the benefit determination under Section 4.02(a) of the Qualified Plan for Participants whose initial eligibility date under the terms of the Plan is after April 1, 1999.
3.04 Vesting
The right to receive benefits under the Plan will vest when the Participant (i) has completed five Years of Service with an Affiliate, (ii) is determined by the Administrator to be permanently and totally disabled while employed with an Affiliate, or (iii) dies while employed with an Affiliate.  
3.05 Benefit of Former Executives
A vested Participant who remains employed with an Affiliate until Retirement but is no longer a designated executive will retain a benefit in the Plan based on the Participant’s Total Compensation and service determined as of the last date of the Participant’s eligible status and reduced by the amounts specified in Section 3.03(a) determined upon the Participant’s Retirement.
IV. 
RETIREMENT BENEFITS
4.01 Forms of Benefit Payment
(a)    The normal form of benefit payout under this Plan is a joint and survivor annuity which will commence upon Retirement of the Participant and be paid monthly for the lifetime of the Participant.  Upon the death of the Participant, the survivor will be entitled to the benefits payments described in Article VI.

(b)    If, at least 90 days prior to his or her Retirement, the Participant elects an alternative form of payout, upon Retirement by the Participant (either early or normal Retirement), the value of his or her benefits payable under this Plan as of the date of Retirement will be paid in the manner elected by the Participant in (i) a single lump-sum payment calculated using the rate of interest determined pursuant to Section 4.02, and based upon the mortality table prescribed in Revenue Ruling 2001-62, (ii) in monthly installments (of principal, plus interest) over a period of 60 months, or (iii) in monthly installments (of principal, plus interest) over a period of 120 months.

(c)    If a Participant elects a payout in monthly installments of principal plus interest over a period of 60 months or 120 months, monthly payments will be calculated in such a way that equal monthly payments on the first day of each month for the remainder of the payout period with interest would bring the balance to zero by the end of that period.  The account will be reamortized annually effective January 1st based on the December 31st account balance and the revised interest rate as determined pursuant to Section 4.02.

7

4.02  Interest
The annual reamortization of payments described in Section 4.01(c) will be determined using a monthly rate of interest that is one-twelfth of the average Moody's Corporate Bond Yield for Aa Public Utility Bonds for the twelve months preceding November 1st of the prior year.  This interest rate determined on an annualized basis will also be used to calculate starting balances and lump sums for purposes of Section 4.01(b).
4.03  Commencement of Payments
Payments under this Plan on account of Retirement will be paid in full if the lump-sum option is chosen, or will begin to be paid in monthly installments, if a monthly payment option is chosen, within 30 days of the date on which the Participant retires, or as soon thereafter as practicable.  To the extent reasonably practicable, monthly payments under this Plan will be made at a time coincident with the payment of benefits under the Qualified Plan.
4.04  Severance Benefits 
If the Participant has attained age 55 at the time of his Termination of Employment, then the Participant’s benefit will be paid or payments will commence within 30 days after the Participant’s Termination Date, or as soon thereafter as practicable, in the retirement payment form elected by the Participant (such benefits will be paid in the retirement payment form elected by the Participant even if the Participant does not have at least five years of service credit) or in the form elected by the Participant on the Special Election form (in such form as may be approved by the Committee).  If a Participant makes an election on the Special Election form and such form is received by EIX more than 90 days before the Participant’s Termination Date, such election shall control over any other election made by the Participant; otherwise, the Participant’s regular election will control.  If the Participant has not attained age 55 at the time of his Termination of Employment, then the Participant’s benefit will be paid or payments will commence within 30 days after the date the Participant actually attains age 55, or as soon thereafter as practicable.  In such circumstances, the Participant’s form of payment will be determined in accordance with the Plan, except that the Participant may by written notice to EIX at least 90 days before he or she attains age 55 elect an optional form of payment from any of the retirement payment options available, in which case the Participant’s benefit will be paid in the form so elected by the Participant.  
V. 
TERMINATION BENEFITS
If the Participant terminates his or her employment with the Company prior to Retirement (either early or normal), but with a deferred vested interest in the Plan, benefits will be payable under this Plan reduced by the amounts specified in Section 3.03(a) determined as of the benefit commencement date adjusted to reflect any distributions from the Participant’s Profit Sharing Account under the Sponsor’s Stock Savings Plus Plan, or successor plan, that occurred since the employment termination date in a manner consistent with the Qualified Plan.  If the vested individual was not a designated executive at the time employment was terminated, the Plan benefit determined before the Section 3.03(a) reductions will be based on the Participant’s Total Compensation and service determined as of the last date of the Participant’s status as a designated executive.  Subject to Section 4.04 but notwithstanding any other provision in the 

8

Plan to the contrary, any benefits payable under this Plan due to Termination of Employment will be paid as an annuity only, beginning at age 55 and calculated as of the Participant's Normal Retirement Age under the Qualified Plan, reduced for early retirement by multiplying that amount by a factor of 0.536.  A joint and survivor annuity will be the normal form of benefit.  The Participant may elect another annuity option available under the Qualified Plan, subject to the same terms and conditions as would apply to such an election under the Qualified Plan.
VI. 
SURVIVOR BENEFITS
6.01  Overview
In addition to the amount payable hereunder to a retired Participant, this Plan will pay a benefit, similarly computed, to an eligible surviving spouse or to a contingent annuitant under the "Spouse's Pension", the "Pre-retirement Survivor Annuity Option", or the "Contingent Annuitant Option" provisions of the Qualified Plan if such spouse's pension, survivor annuity or contingent annuity is reduced or limited as required by currently applicable law or the terms of the Qualified Plan.
6.02  Alternative Forms of Payment
(a)    Upon the death of a Participant who has elected an alternative form of benefit payment under the Plan prior to the receipt of the full amount credited to his or her account, the balance of the account will be paid in accordance with the Participant's previously elected method of payment to the Participant's designated beneficiary or beneficiaries, as provided herein, over the remainder of the elected payout period until the full amount has been paid.

(b)    If the 60 or 120 month payout options have been chosen, and if no designated beneficiary or beneficiaries survive the Participant, or if a designated beneficiary dies before the balance of the account has been paid, the balance of the account of the Participant or of the designated beneficiary will be paid in one lump-sum payment to the estate of the Participant if no designated beneficiaries survive him or her, or if such designated beneficiaries survive the Participant, to the estate of whomever was last receiving benefit payments, as soon as practicable following the Participant's or the designated beneficiary's death.

(c)    If the Participant dies while an active Employee, and a benefit is payable under the Plan, the designated beneficiary or beneficiaries, or if no designated beneficiaries survive the Participant, the Participant’s estate may select any of the benefit payout options described in Section 4.01(b).
VII. 
PAYMENT TERMS AND CONDITIONS
7.01  Benefits Nonassignable
Benefits under this Plan will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the right to receive payment hereunder is hereby expressly declared to be personal, nonassignable and nontransferable, except by will, intestacy, or as otherwise required by law, and in the event of 

9

any attempted assignment, alienation or transfer of such rights contrary to the provisions hereof, the Company will have no further liability for payments hereunder.
7.02  Incapacity
If any person entitled to payments under this Plan is incapacitated and unable to use such payments in his or her own best interest, the Company or Sponsor may direct that payments (or any portion) be made to that person’s legal guardian or conservator, or that person’s spouse, as an alternative to payment to the person unable to use the payments.  The Company or Sponsor, as the case may be, will have no obligation to supervise the use of such payments, and court-appointed guardianship or conservatorship may be required.
7.03  Hardship
Upon written application made to the Administrator, the Participant or his or her designated beneficiary or beneficiaries may request payment in some form other than the method of payment originally elected.  Such request must establish to the satisfaction of the Administrator or its designee that special circumstances, such as Financial Hardship, exist which require such a variation in payment.  The Administrator, or its designee, will exercise sole discretion in allowing or refusing such requests, and the decision of the Administrator or its designee on such requests will be final.
7.04 No Fiduciary Relationship
Nothing contained in this Plan, and no action taken pursuant to any of its provisions, will create or be construed to create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship, between the Company or Sponsor and the Participant, a designated beneficiary, or any other beneficiaries of the Participant, or any other person.  To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company under the provisions hereof, such right will be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company.
VIII. 
TAXES
8.01  Taxes on Benefit Payments
Any amounts paid under this Plan on account of termination, Retirement, death or hardship will be subject to any income tax withholding or other deductions as may be required by federal, state, or local law.  
8.02  Taxes on Benefit Accrual
A Participant’s annual benefit accrual may be subject to federal, state or local payroll taxes.  Such taxes will be withheld from the Participant’s salary as may be required by federal, state or local law.
IX. 
BENEFICIARY
At the time the Eligible Employee elects his or her payout method under this Plan, he or she shall designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries.  The designation may be changed at any time by the Eligible Employee; however, the consent of a spouse may be required.

10

X. 
PLAN ADMINISTRATION
10.01  Plan Interpretation
The Administrator (either directly or through its designees) will have power and authority to interpret, construe, and administer this Plan; provided that, its authority to interpret this Plan will not cause its decisions in this regard to be entitled to a deferential standard of review in the event that an Participant or beneficiary seeks review of the Administrator’s decision as described in Article XII.
10.02  Day-to-Day Administration
Day to day administration of the Plan has been delegated by the Administrator to the Sponsor, under the direction of the officer responsible for Human Resources, or such other individuals as may be authorized by him or her to perform such duties.  Such administration will include the power to interpret the Plan and make such equitable adjustments as may be necessary to effectuate the purposes thereof.
10.03  Limited Liability
Neither the Administrator, nor any of its members or designees, will be liable to any person for any action taken or omitted in connection with the interpretation and administration of this Plan.
XI. 
AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION
11.01  Authority to Amend or Terminate
The Administrator will have full power and authority to prospectively modify or terminate this Plan, and the Administrator's interpretations, constructions and actions, including any valuation of the Participant's account or benefits, or the amount or recipient of the payment to be made, will be binding and conclusive on all persons for all purposes.  Absent the consent of the Participant, however, the Administrator will in no event have any authority to modify this section.  However, no such amendment or termination will apply to any person who has then qualified for or is receiving benefits under this Plan.
11.02  Limitations
In the event of Plan amendment or termination which has the effect of eliminating or reducing a benefit under the Plan, the benefit payable on account of a retired Participant or survivor or other beneficiary will not be impaired, and the benefits of other Participants will not be less than the benefit to which each such Participant would have been entitled if he or she had retired immediately prior to such amendment or termination.

11

XII.
CLAIMS AND REVIEW PROCEDURES
12.01  Claims Procedure
(a)    The Administrator will notify a Participant or his or her Beneficiary (or person submitting a claim on behalf of the Participant or Beneficiary) (a “claimant”) in writing, within 90 days after his or her written application for benefits, of his or her eligibility or noneligibility for benefits under the Plan.  If the Administrator determines that a claimant is not eligible for benefits or full benefits, the notice will set forth (1) the specific reasons for the denial, (2) a specific reference to the provisions of the Plan on which the denial is based, (3) a description of any additional information or material necessary for the claimant to perfect his or her claim, and a description of why it is needed, and (4) an explanation of the Plan's claims review procedure and other appropriate information as to the steps to be taken if the claimant wishes to have the claim reviewed.  If the Administrator determines that there are special circumstances requiring additional time to make a decision, the Administrator will notify the claimant of the special circumstances and the date by which a decision is expected to be made, and may extend the time for up to an additional 90-day period.

(b)    If a claimant is determined by the Administrator not to be eligible for benefits, or if the claimant believes that he or she is entitled to greater or different benefits, the claimant will have the opportunity to have the claim reviewed by the Administrator by filing a petition for review with the Administrator within 60 days after receipt of the notice issued by the Administrator.  Said petition will state the specific reasons which the claimant believes entitle him or her to benefits or to greater or different benefits.  Within 60 days after receipt by the Administrator of the petition, the Administrator will afford the claimant (and counsel, if any) an opportunity to present his or her position to the Administrator in writing, and the claimant (or counsel) will have the right to review the pertinent documents.  The Administrator will notify the claimant of its decision in writing within the 60-day period, stating specifically the basis of its decision, written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant and the specific provisions of the Plan on which the decision is based.  If, due to special circumstances (for example, because of the need for a hearing), the 60-day period is not sufficient, the decision may be deferred for up to another 60-day period at the election of the Administrator, but notice of this deferral will be given to the claimant.  In the event of the death of the Participant, the same procedures will apply to the Participant's Beneficiaries.
12.02  Dispute Arbitration

(a)    Effective as to any claims filed on or after June 19, 2014, final and binding arbitration under this Section 12.02 shall be the sole remedy available to a claimant after he or she has exhausted the claim and review procedures set forth in Section 12.01.  Furthermore, exhaustion by the claimant of the claim and review procedures set forth in Section 12.01 is a mandatory prerequisite for binding arbitration under this Section 12.02.  Any arbitration or civil action brought prior to the exhaustion of the claim and review procedures set forth in Section 12.01 shall be remanded to the Administrator to permit the claim and review procedures to be exhausted.  

12

(b)    After a claimant has exhausted the claim and review procedures set forth in Section 12.01, if the claimant is determined by the Administrator not to be eligible for benefits, or if the claimant believes that he or she is entitled to greater or different benefits, the claimant may submit his or her claim to final and binding arbitration under this Section 12.02.
Any arbitration under this Section 12.02 will be held in Los Angeles County, California, in accordance with the then-current JAMS Arbitration Rules and Procedures for Employment Disputes (“JAMS Rules”) and under the Federal Arbitration Act.  The arbitration shall be before a sole arbitrator, selected by mutual agreement of the parties.  If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator, the arbitrator shall be selected by striking in accordance with the then-current JAMS Rules from a list of arbitrators supplied by JAMS.  Any and all claims and/or defenses that would otherwise be available in a court of law will be fully available to the parties.  The arbitrator selected pursuant to this paragraph (the “Arbitrator”) may order such discovery as is necessary for a full and fair exploration of the issues and dispute, consistent with the expedited nature of arbitration.  The Arbitrator shall apply applicable substantive law to resolve the dispute.  To the fullest extent provided by federal law, the decision rendered by the Administrator pursuant to the claim and review procedures set forth in Section 12.01 shall be upheld by the Arbitrator unless the Arbitrator determines that the Administrator abused its discretion.  Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if a Change in Control occurs, then a claim review decision rendered by the Administrator within the three years following the Change in Control shall, if it is challenged by the claimant in accordance with this Section 12.02, be subject to de novo review by the Arbitrator.  Subject to the applicable standard of review in the preceding two sentences, the Arbitrator may grant any award or relief available under applicable law that the Arbitrator deems just and equitable.  
At the conclusion of the arbitration, the Arbitrator shall issue a written decision that sets forth the essential findings and conclusions upon which the Arbitrator’s award or decision is based.  Any award or relief granted by the Arbitrator hereunder shall be final and binding on the parties hereto, and may be enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction.  All costs unique to arbitration (e.g., the Arbitrator’s fees and room fees) shall be paid by the Administrator.  The parties shall otherwise bear their own costs (e.g., attorneys’ fees, expert fees, witness fees, etc.).  If, however, any party prevails on a statutory claim that affords the prevailing party attorneys’ fees and costs, then the Arbitrator may award reasonable fees and costs to the prevailing party.
XIII. 
MISCELLANEOUS
13.01  Participation in Other Plans
The Participant will continue to be entitled to participate in all employee benefit programs of the Company as may, from time to time, be in effect.  However, Total Compensation includable under this Plan will be deemed salary or other compensation to the Participant for the purpose of computing benefits under this Plan only, and will be used only under this Plan to calculate those benefits to which the Participant would otherwise be entitled under the Qualified Plan if such Total Compensation could have been included in the determination of benefits under that Plan.

13

13.02  Relationship to Qualified Plan
This Plan will to the full extent possible under currently applicable law be administered in accordance with, and where practicable according to the terms of the Qualified Plan.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the terms of this Plan shall control benefits payable under this Plan whenever the terms of the Qualified Plan differ from this Plan.
13.03  No Right to Employment
Nothing contained herein will be construed as conferring upon the Participant the right to continue in the employ of the Company, in any particular salary grade, or in any other capacity.  If the Participant ceases to be an Participant in the Plan but remains in the employ of the Company, any benefits due the Participant under the Plan will not be payable until such time as he or she retires, or ceases to be an employee of the Company, and then only subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Plan.
13.04  Forfeiture
The payments to be made pursuant to the Plan require the Participant, for so long as the Participant remains in the active employ of the Company, to devote substantially all of his or her time, skill, diligence and attention to the business of the Company, and not to actively engage, either directly or indirectly, in any business or other activity adverse to the best interests of the business of the Company.  In addition, the Participant will remain available during Retirement for consultation in any matter related to the affairs of the Company.  Any breach of these conditions will result in complete forfeiture of any further benefits under the Plan.  If the Participant will fail to observe any of the above conditions, or if he or she will be discharged by the Company for malfeasance or willful neglect of duty, then in any of said events, the payments under this Plan will not be paid, and the Sponsor and the Company will have no further liability therefor.
13.05  Benefits Unsecured
A Participant’s benefits will be unsecured and will be paid in cash from the general funds of the Participant’s Company.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in the definition of “Company” to the contrary, and at the sole discretion of EIX, EIX may determine that for purposes of benefits payable under the Plan, EIX shall be deemed to be the Company obligated to pay such benefits.  Such an election by EIX may be made, in EIX’s sole discretion, as to all Plan benefits, as to only certain benefits, and/or as to only certain Employers or Participants, and will be deemed an assumption of the specified benefit obligations of the applicable Employers.  Subject to the further provisions hereof, EIX will be solely obligated to pay any such benefits and no Participant (or Beneficiary) will have a claim as to any other Employer with respect to such benefits.  Upon an election by EIX under this Section 13.05, benefits covered by the election will be paid from the general funds of EIX (and not the Employer that would otherwise pay the benefits), provided that EIX may require that as between EIX and the Employer that would otherwise pay such benefits, the Employer will be responsible to pay EIX for the assumption of such obligations in accordance with funding arrangements determined by EIX at the time of election or any time thereafter.  To the extent such Employer fails to comply with such funding arrangements or obtains any refund or offset of payments made from the Employer to EIX without the consent of EIX, the Employer that would otherwise be responsible for payment of benefits to the applicable Participant will remain responsible for such benefits.  EIX 

14

will effectuate any such election pursuant to this Section 13.05 by providing written notice to the Administrator and the applicable Employers regarding the effective date of such election, and the benefits, Employers and Participants for which the election is applicable.  The funding arrangements established by EIX at the time of its election, or from time to time thereafter, will set forth the method by which the Employers will remit funds to EIX in consideration of Plan benefit obligations that are assumed by EIX.  Such a method may include, but is not limited to, lump sum payment by an Employer to EIX of relevant benefits accrued through the date of EIX’s election based on the Projected Benefit Obligation (“PBO”) with regular periodic payments to EIX of continuing accruals; regular periodic payments by an Employer to EIX of benefits accrued based on the PBO beginning with the date of EIX’s election through the date such benefits become due under the Plan; lump sum payment by an Employer to EIX at the time benefits become due under the Plan; or intercompany payables and receivables used with funding on a “pay-as-you-go” basis. Projected Benefit Obligation represents the actuarial present value of vested and non-vested benefit obligation based on expected future Total Compensation of Executives.  No special or separate fund will be established and no other segregation of assets will be made to assure the payment of any benefits hereunder.  No person will have by virtue of the provisions of this Plan, any interest in such assets.  In the event that, in its discretion, the Company purchases an insurance policy or policies insuring the life of the Participant to allow the Company to recover, in whole, or in part, the cost of providing the benefits hereunder, neither the Participant, the survivor or other designated beneficiary(ies) nor any other beneficiary will have any rights whatsoever therein; the Company will be the sole owner and beneficiary thereof and will possess and may exercise all incidents of ownership therein.  
13.06  Validity and Applicable Law
If any of the provisions of this Plan will be held invalid, or be held to violate any law, the remainder of this Plan will not be affected thereby and will remain in full force and effect.  This Plan will be governed by the laws of the State of California.
13.07  Captions
The captions of the articles and sections of the Plan are for convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any of its provisions.
