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:

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

(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.

(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 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 Presidents and other officers designated by the CEO of EIX to be in Executive Compensation Band D or above, but three years for the Chief Executive Officer of EIX, Southern California Edison Company, or Edison Mission Group, 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 Presidents and other officers designated by the CEO of EIX to be in Executive Compensation Band D or above, but three years for the Chief Executive Officer of EIX, Southern California Edison Company, or Edison Mission Group, 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 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.

(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; or

(d) A single lump sum; or

(e) Two to fifteen installments paid annually: or

(f) Any combination of the choices listed in (c), (d) and (e).

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 sp
