Article 2
SEVERANCE BENEFITS

2.1Right to Severance Benefits

Subject to Sections 2.6, 8.2, 10.1, and 10.9, an Eligible Employee shall be entitled to receive from his or her Employer the benefits described in Section 2.3 if the Eligible Employee’s employment by his or her Employer is terminated by the Employer without Cause (and other than due to the Eligible Employee’s Disability). Notwithstanding anything else contained herein

to the contrary, an Eligible Employee shall not be entitled to receive the benefits described in Section 2.3 if the Eligible Employee is entitled to benefits under or as described in Section 2.2.

2.2Right to Change in Control Severance Benefits

Subject to Sections 2.6, 8.2, 10.1, and 10.9, an Eligible Employee shall be entitled to receive the benefits described in Section 2.4 if the Eligible Employee incurs a Qualifying Termination Event. If more than one Qualifying Termination Event occurs with respect to an Eligible Employee, such events shall constitute a single Qualifying Termination Event and the provisions of Section 2.4 shall apply with respect to the Eligible Employee only once. An Eligible Employee’s continued employment shall not constitute a consent to, or a waiver of rights with respect to, any circumstances constituting Good Reason for purposes of determining if a Qualifying Termination Event has occurred with respect to the Eligible Employee.

2.3Severance Benefit - Termination by Employer Without Cause (Other than a Qualifying Termination Event or Termination due to the Eligible Employee’s Disability)

In the event that an Eligible Employee becomes entitled to receive benefits in accordance with Section 2.1, then the Eligible Employee shall be entitled to the benefits described in Sections 2.3.1 through 2.3.6 below.

2.3.1Cash Benefit

The Eligible Employee’s Employer shall pay to the Eligible Employee a non-discounted cash amount equal to the sum of the following:

(a)an amount equal to one times the annualized rate of the Eligible Employee’s Salary in effect on the Eligible Employee’s Termination Date;

(b)as to an Eligible Employee who is covered by the Executive Bonus Plan for the Prior Calendar Year, but is not eligible to receive an award for the Prior Calendar Year under the Executive Bonus Plan (the “Prior Year Bonus”) because the Termination Date occurs before the vesting date for the Prior Year Bonus under the Executive Bonus Plan, then the cash benefit under this Section 2.3.1 shall include an amount equal to the Eligible Employee’s Salary earned for the Prior Calendar Year times the Eligible Employee’s Target Bonus Percentage for the Prior Calendar Year under the Executive Bonus Plan;

(c)as to an Eligible Employee who is covered by the Executive Bonus Plan for the Termination Year, but is not eligible to receive an award for the Termination Year under the Executive Bonus Plan (the “Termination Year Bonus”) because the Termination Date occurs before the vesting date for the Termination Year Bonus under the Executive Bonus Plan, then the cash benefit under this Section 2.3.1 shall include a pro rata portion (based on the number of weekdays that elapsed in the calendar year in which the Eligible Employee’s Termination Date occurs between the start of that calendar year and the Eligible Employee’s Termination Date) of the Eligible Employee’s Target Bonus Percentage in effect on the Eligible Employee’s Termination Date multiplied by the Eligible Employee’s annualized Salary in effect on the Eligible Employee’s Termination Date; and

(d)an amount equal to one times the Eligible Employee’s annualized Salary in effect on the Eligible Employee’s Termination Date times the Eligible Employee’s Target Bonus Percentage in effect on the Eligible Employee’s Termination Date.

The amount determined under this Section 2.3.1 shall be paid as a lump sum without notice or demand within 65 days following the date of the Eligible Employee’s Separation from Service, but only if EIX has timely received from the Eligible Employee the agreement referenced in Section 10.1.

2.3.2Health Care Coverage Benefit

(a)The Eligible Employee will be eligible to participate in the Retiree Health Care Program if, under the terms of the non-executive severance plan (if any) maintained by the Eligible Employee’s Employer and as in effect on the Eligible Employee’s Termination Date, the Eligible Employee would otherwise have been eligible (if he or she had not been an Executive) for participation in the Retiree Health Care Program by virtue of his or her age and service. For purposes of clarity, any healthcare benefits and subsidy (as opposed to eligibility) will be determined under the Retiree Health Care Program and not the non-executive severance plan.

(b)If the Eligible Employee is not eligible for the Retiree Health Care Program in accordance with Section 2.3.2(a), is not otherwise eligible for the Retiree Health Care Program, or his or her Employer does not maintain a retiree health care program, the Eligible Employee will receive an extension of health care coverage for a period following the Eligible Employee’s Termination Date that is the greater of 12 months or the extension period for which the Eligible Employee would have been eligible (if he or she had not been an Executive) under the non-executive severance program (if any) maintained by the Eligible Employee’s Employer and as in effect on the Eligible Employee’s Termination Date but in no event longer than the maximum period the Eligible Employee would be entitled to continuation coverage under COBRA. Any continued coverage in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be on terms similar to those as in effect under the Eligible Employee’s Employer’s health care program in effect with respect to the Eligible Employee immediately before the termination of his or her employment and based on the Eligible Employee’s coverage elections in effect at such time, provided that the actual healthcare benefits and subsidy will be determined under the Eligible Employee’s Employer’s healthcare program as it may be amended from time to time. Notwithstanding Section 6.3 to the contrary, EIX and/or the Eligible Employee’s Employer, as applicable, shall not be obligated to continue such coverage if the Eligible Employee obtains similar coverage from any successor employer or from a health insurance exchange. EIX and/or the Eligible Employee’s Employer, as applicable, shall give the Eligible Employee the required COBRA benefit continuation notice prior to (and the Eligible Employee’s eligibility for continuation benefits under COBRA shall commence as of) the end of the applicable period determined as set forth above.

(c)An Eligible Employee’s coverage under the Retiree Health Care Program pursuant to Section 2.3.2(a) is subject to the Eligible Employee’s Employer’s ability to amend and/or terminate coverage under its Retiree Health Care Program from time to time. In the event that an Eligible Employee is covered under a Retiree Health Care Program pursuant to Section 2.3.2(a) and, in the period of time contemplated by Section 2.3.2(b) for the extension of health care coverage pursuant to such section, the Eligible Employee’s Employer terminates its Retiree

Health Care Program, the Eligible Employee shall be entitled to an extension of coverage under and pursuant to Section 2.3.2(b) for the balance of the extension period contemplated by Section 2.3.2(b) and following the cessation of the Eligible Employee’s coverage under the Retiree Health Care Program.

2.3.3[Reserved]

2.3.4[Reserved]

2.3.5Outplacement Benefit

The Eligible Employee shall be entitled to reimbursement of up to $20,000 for reasonable outplacement costs incurred in the two-year period commencing on his or her Termination Date. Any such reimbursements shall be paid to the Eligible Employee by the end of the third taxable year of the Eligible Employee following the taxable year in which the Eligible Employee’s Separation from Service occurred.

2.3.6Educational Assistance Benefit

The Eligible Employee shall be entitled to the educational assistance benefit to which he or she would have been entitled (if he or she had not been an executive) under the non-executive severance plan, if any, maintained by his or her Employer and as in effect on the Eligible Employee’s Termination Date. To the extent any educational assistance benefits or reimbursements are taxable to the Eligible Employee and provide for a deferral of compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, any such reimbursements or benefits shall be paid to the Eligible Employee on or before the last day of the Eligible Employee’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense was incurred, shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for other benefits and the reimbursements or benefits that the Eligible Employee receives in one taxable year shall not affect the amount of reimbursements or benefits that the Eligible Employee receives in any other taxable year.

2.3.7[Reserved]

2.4Change in Control Severance Benefits

If an Eligible Employee incurs a Qualifying Termination Event, the Eligible Employee shall be entitled to the benefits described in Sections 2.3.1 through 2.3.6 above, subject to the following subsections of this Section 2.4.

2.4.1Senior Officer Enhanced Benefit

If the Eligible Employee was a Senior Vice President or an officer of higher rank of EIX or SCE within the 12 month period preceding his or her Termination Date but is not covered by Section 2.4.2, then the Eligible Employee will be entitled to the benefit modifications described in this Section 2.4.1. “Two times” will be substituted for “one times” in Section 2.3.1(a) and Section 2.3.1(d). “$30,000” will be substituted for “$20,000” in Section 2.3.5. Benefits under Section 2.3.2 will be extended to the maximum period permitted under COBRA.

2.4.2Certain Additional Enhanced Benefits

If the Eligible Employee was the most senior officer of EIX, the most senior officer of SCE, the General Counsel of EIX, or the Chief Financial Officer of EIX within the 12 month period preceding his or her Termination Date, then the Eligible Employee will be entitled to the benefit modifications described in this Section 2.4.2. “Three times” will be substituted for “one times” in Section 2.3.1(a) and Section 2.3.1(d). “$50,000” will be substituted for “$20,000” in Section 2.3.5. Benefits under Section 2.3.2 will be extended to the maximum period permitted under COBRA.

2.5Termination for Other Reasons

Except as expressly provided below, EIX and an Eligible Employee’s Employer shall have no obligations (or no further obligations, as the case may be) to the Eligible Employee under this Plan if:

(a)the Eligible Employee’s employment is terminated by his or her Employer for Cause;

(b)the Eligible Employee terminates his or her employment with his or her Employer during a Protected Period other than for Good Reason;

(c)the Eligible Employee’s employment by his or her Employer terminates due to the Eligible Employee’s Disability or death;

(d)the Eligible Employee terminates his or her employment with his or her Employer for any reason if the termination occurs outside of a Protected Period; or

(e)the Eligible Employee is employed by an Employer that is sold, spun off, or liquidated and the Eligible Employee is no longer covered by this Plan as provided in Section 8.2 or the Eligible Employee does not timely comply with Section 10.1.

Notwithstanding anything else contained herein to the contrary, a termination of an Eligible Employee’s employment on account of the Eligible Employee reaching mandatory retirement age, as such age may be defined from time to time in policies adopted by EIX or his or her Employer prior to the commencement of the Protected Period, to the extent such policies are applicable to the Eligible Employee immediately prior to the commencement of the Protected Period and to the extent such policies are consistent with applicable law, shall not entitle the Eligible Employee to the benefits described in Section 2.3 and shall not be a Qualifying Termination Event unless the Eligible Employee was otherwise able to terminate employment for Good Reason immediately prior to his or her retirement and his or her retirement occurred during a Protected Period.

2.6Termination and Repayment of Benefits

EIX or the Eligible Employee’s Employer may terminate (or cause there to be terminated, as the case may be) any benefits otherwise payable or to be paid (or to be provided, as the case may be) to the Eligible Employee under this Plan, and/or may require the Eligible Employee to repay any benefits previously paid or provided to the Eligible Employee under this Plan, and EIX and the

Eligible Employee’s Employer shall have no obligations (or no further obligations, as the case may be) to the Eligible Employee with respect thereto, if:

(a)at the time of the termination of the Eligible Employee’s employment, there existed Cause for the Eligible Employee’s Employer to terminate the Eligible Employee’s employment (regardless of whether such Employer knew of the circumstances that constituted Cause at the time of such termination or first became aware of such circumstances after such termination, and regardless of whether the termination of employment was characterized as being for Cause at the time of such termination); or

(b)during the period of the Eligible Employee’s employment by his or her Employer or at any time thereafter, the Eligible Employee committed or engaged in a breach of confidentiality, or an unauthorized disclosure or use of inside information, trade secrets or other confidential information of EIX or any of its affiliates; or

(c)during the period of the Eligible Employee’s employment by his or her Employer or at any time thereafter, the Eligible Employee breached any no-solicitation obligation owed to EIX or any of its affiliates. (For purposes of clarity, the no-solicitation obligations covered by this Section 2.6(c) include, without limitation, those obligations set forth in Section 7 of the form of Severance Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A, as those obligations are set forth in the Eligible Employee’s Severance Agreement.)

Any determination by EIX or the Eligible Employee’s Employer that the Eligible Employee’s benefits are to be terminated and/or repaid pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall be communicated to the Eligible Employee in writing. Such writing shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for such determination.

However, as to an Eligible Employee who is otherwise eligible for benefits pursuant to Section 2.3 or 2.4, and who satisfies the requirements of Section 10.1, the Eligible Employee’s minimum aggregate benefit pursuant to Section 2.3.1 (“Minimum Benefit”) shall be the lesser of (i) Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000), or (ii) the amount of the Eligible Employee’s benefit otherwise determined pursuant to Section 2.3.1 (giving effect to any adjustment thereto pursuant to Section 2.4, if applicable in the circumstances). A termination of benefits pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall not cause the Eligible Employee’s aggregate benefit pursuant to Section 2.3.1 to be less than the applicable Minimum Benefit, nor shall a repayment of benefits required under this Section 2.6 require the Eligible Employee to repay the amount of his or her Minimum Benefit.

The provisions of this Section 2.6 are not in any way in limitation of any other right or remedy, (at law or otherwise, to obtain specific performance, injunctive relief, other appropriate relief and/or damages) otherwise available to EIX or any of its affiliates in the circumstances. Furthermore, the provisions of this Section 2.6 do not in any way limit any obligation (confidentiality, no-solicitation or otherwise) owed by any Eligible Employee to EIX or any of its affiliates.

2.7Notice of Termination

Any termination of an Eligible Employee’s employment by his or her Employer for Cause or by an Eligible Employee for Good Reason shall be communicated by Notice of Termination. For

purposes of this Plan, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a written notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Plan relied upon, and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Eligible Employee’s employment under the provision so indicated. The Notice of Termination shall be effective on the date specified in Section 10.7 of this Plan. Any Notice of Termination remains subject to the provisions of Section 2.6.

Article 3
TAXES

EIX and/or the Eligible Employee’s Employer, as applicable, has the right to withhold from any amount otherwise payable to an Eligible Employee under or pursuant to this Plan the amount of any taxes that EIX or such Employer may legally be required to withhold with respect to such payment (including, without limitation, any United States Federal taxes, and any other state, city, or local taxes). In the event that tax withholding is required with respect to amounts or benefits payable or deliverable by EIX or the Eligible Employee’s Employer to an Eligible Employee and EIX or the Employer cannot satisfy its tax withholding obligations in the manner described in the preceding sentence, EIX or the Employer may require the Eligible Employee to pay or provide for the payment of such required tax withholding as a condition to the payment or delivery of such amounts or benefits. Each Eligible Employee, former Eligible Employee and Beneficiary shall be solely responsible for all income and employment taxes arising in connection with participation in this Plan or benefits hereunder.

Article 4
[RESERVED]

Article 5
BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION

The Eligible Employee will have the right, at any time, to designate any person or persons as Beneficiary (both primary and contingent) to whom payment under the Plan will be made in the event of the Eligible Employee’s death. The Beneficiary designation will be effective when it is submitted to the Administrator during the Eligible Employee’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 an Eligible Employee 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 Eligible Employee’s new spouse has previously been designated as Beneficiary. The spouse of a married Eligible Employee must consent in writing to any designation of a Beneficiary other than the spouse.

If an Eligible Employee 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 Eligible Employee, then the Administrator will direct the distribution of the benefits to the Eligible Employee’s estate. If a primary Beneficiary dies after commencement of payments to the Beneficiary but

prior to completion of benefits under this Plan, and no contingent Beneficiary has been designated by the Eligible Employee, any remaining payments will be paid to the primary Beneficiary’s Beneficiary, if one has been designated, or to the Beneficiary’s estate.

Article 6
CONDITIONS RELATED TO BENEFITS

6.1Nonassignability

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 Eligible Employee or other claimants and from all orders, decrees, levies, garnishment or executions against any Eligible Employee to the fullest extent allowed by law.

6.2No Right to Assets

The benefits paid under the Plan will be paid from the general funds of the Employer who last employs the Eligible Employee immediately prior to the time that the Eligible Employee becomes entitled to benefits hereunder, and the Eligible Employee and any Beneficiary will be no more than unsecured general creditors of the Employer with no special or prior right to any assets of the Employer for payment of any obligations hereunder. Neither the Eligible Employee nor the Beneficiary will have a claim to benefits from any other Affiliate. EIX is not a guarantor of the benefit obligations of other participating Affiliates. By participating in, and by accepting any benefits under, this Plan, Eligible Employees consent to EIX sponsorship of this Plan, but acknowledge that EIX is not a guarantor of the benefit obligations of other participating Affiliates. Each Affiliate is responsible for payment of the accrued benefits under this Plan with respect to its own Eligible Employees subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. 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 this 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 Eligible Employees, 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 Eligible Employee (or Beneficiary) will have a claim as to any other Affiliate with respect to such benefits. Upon an election by EIX under this Section 6.2, 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 Eligible Employee will remain responsible for such benefits. EIX will effectuate any such election pursuant to this Section 6.2 by providing written notice to the Administrator and the applicable Affiliates regarding the effective date of such election, and the benefits, Affiliates and Eligible Employees

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 benefit obligations that are assumed by EIX.

6.3Payment of Obligations Absolute

Subject to the Eligible Employee’s timely compliance with Section 10.1 and the agreement contemplated thereby, each Employer’s obligation to make the payments and the arrangements provided for herein shall be absolute and unconditional, and shall not be affected by any circumstances, including, without limitation, any offset, counterclaim, recoupment, defense, or other right which the Employer may have against the Eligible Employee or anyone else. Each and every payment made hereunder by an Employer shall be final, and the Employer shall not seek to recover all or any part of such payment from the Eligible Employee or from whomsoever may be entitled thereto, for any reasons whatsoever, except as otherwise provided in Article 7 and subject to the Eligible Employee’s timely compliance with Section 10.1 and the agreement contemplated thereby. Eligible Employees shall not be obligated to seek other employment in mitigation of the amounts payable or arrangements made under any provision of this Plan, and the obtaining of any such other employment shall in no event effect any reduction of an Employer’s obligations to make the payments and arrangements required to be made under this Plan except as provided in Section 2.3.2(b). The foregoing provisions of this Section 6.3 are subject to the provisions of Section 2.6 and Section 10.9.

6.4Other Benefit Plans

All payments, benefits and amounts provided under this Plan shall be in addition to and not in substitution for any pension rights under EIX’s or other Employer’s tax-qualified pension plans in which the Eligible Employee participates, and any disability, workers’ compensation or EIX or other Employer benefit plan distribution that an Eligible Employee is entitled to, under the terms of any such plan, at the time his or her employment by his or her Employer terminates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Plan shall not create an inference that any duplicate payments shall be required, and notwithstanding anything else contained herein to the contrary, any severance benefits otherwise payable or deliverable under this Plan to a Participant shall be offset or reduced by the amount of severance benefits payable or deliverable to the Participant under any other plan, program, or agreement of or with EIX, the Participant’s Employer, or their respective Affiliates. Payments received by a person under this Plan shall not be deemed a part of the person’s compensation for purposes of determining the person’s benefits under any employee welfare, pension or other benefit plan or arrangement, if any, provided by an Employer, except where explicitly provided under the terms of such plan or arrangement.

6.5Incapacity

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.

6.6Six Month Delay

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Plan, any payment or benefit otherwise required to be made after an Eligible Employee’s Separation from Service that the Employer reasonably determines is subject to Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code shall be subject to a six-month delay so that it is paid as soon as practicable for the Employer (and in all events within ninety (90) days) after the date that is six (6) months after the Eligible Employee’s Separation From Service (or, if earlier, the date of the Eligible Employee’s death). The provisions of this Section 6.6 shall only apply if, and to the extent, required to comply with Section 409A of the Code.

6.7Termination of Employment

Notwithstanding anything else contained herein to the contrary, a Participant shall not be deemed to have terminated employment or had a Separation from Service if his or her employment by an Employer terminates but he or she continues as an employee of another Affiliate.

6.8Re-Employment

Notwithstanding anything else contained herein to the contrary, a Participant shall have no right to severance benefits hereunder (pursuant to Sections 2.3 or 2.4 or otherwise) with respect to a termination of his or her employment if, in connection with such termination, he or she is otherwise entitled to severance benefits under this Plan but, prior to the payment or delivery (or commencement of payment or delivery, as the case may be) of such benefits, the Participant becomes re-employed by his or her Employer or by another Affiliate. Notwithstanding anything else contained herein to the contrary, a Participant’s right to continuing or additional benefits under this Plan (including any right to continue participating in or receive benefits under a plan as provided for in Section 2.3) shall automatically terminate (but the Participant shall have no obligation to re-pay benefits previously paid) if the Participant becomes re-employed by his or her Employer or by another Affiliate. If a Participant is re-employed and his or her employment is subsequently terminated and the Participant again becomes entitled to severance benefits under the terms of this Plan in connection with such later termination of employment, the amount of cash severance payments otherwise payable to the Participant pursuant to Section 2.3.1 in connection with such later termination of employment shall be reduced by the amount of any severance payments paid under this Plan to the Participant within the 24 months prior to such later termination of employment in connection with any prior termination of his or her employment.

Article 7
CLAIMS AND REVIEW PROCEDURES

7.1Claims Procedure for Claims Other Than Due to Disability

(a)Except for claims due to Disability, the Administrator will notify an Eligible Employee or his or her Beneficiary (or person submitting a claim on behalf of an Eligible Employee 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 Eligible Employee, the same procedures will apply to the Eligible Employee’s Beneficiaries.

7.2Claims Procedure for Claims Due to Disability

(a)For purposes of Section 7.1, this Section 7.2 and Section 7.3, a claim shall not be considered to be due to Disability if the existence of the Eligible Employee’s Disability is determined by reference to whether the Eligible Employee is eligible for benefits under his or her Employer’s long-term disability plan applicable to the Eligible Employee, as determined by the Employer. A claim due to Disability will be approved or denied by the Administrator or its delegate, as it deems appropriate in its discretion, based on its interpretation of the Plan, medical evidence, and the analysis and conclusions of a physician selected by the Administrator or its delegate. Except as contemplated by this Section 7.2, in 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. Furthermore, in the event that a period of time is extended as permitted due to a claimant’s failure to submit information necessary to decide a claim, the period for making the benefit determination shall be tolled from the date on which the notification of the extension is sent to the claimant until the date on which the claimant responds to the request for additional 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 in a culturally and linguistically appropriate manner: (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 and in accordance with Section 7.2(c) below; (v) either the specific internal rules, guidelines, protocols, standards or other similar criteria of the Plan relied upon in making the adverse determination or a statement that such rules, guidelines, protocols, standards or other similar criteria of the Plan do not exist; (vi) if the determination is based on a medical necessity or experimental treatment or similar exclusion or limit, either an explanation of the scientific or clinical judgment for the determination, applying the terms of the Plan to the claimant’s medical circumstances, or a statement that such explanation shall be provided free of charge upon request; (vii) a statement that the claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claimant’s claim for benefits; and (viii) a discussion of the decision, including an explanation of the basis for disagreeing with or not following: (a) the views presented by the claimant to the Plan of health care professionals treating the claimant and vocational professionals who evaluated the claimant; (b) the views of medical or vocational experts whose advice was obtained on behalf of the Plan in connection with a claimant’s adverse benefit determination, without regard to whether the advice was relied upon in making the benefit determination; and (c) a disability determination made by the Social Security Administration regarding the claimant presented by the claimant to the Plan.

(c)Any good-faith determination by the Administrator or its delegate will be final and binding on the Plan and the claimant unless appealed in accordance with this Section 7.2(c). Within 180 days after receipt by the claimant of notification of the adverse benefit determination, the claimant or the claimant’s duly authorized representative, upon written application to the Administrator, may request that the Plan fully and fairly review the adverse benefit determination (also sometimes referred to herein as an “appeal”). Upon request and free of charge, the claimant pursuing an appeal shall have reasonable access to, and be provided copies of, all documents, records and other information relevant to the claimant’s claim for benefits. The claimant shall have the opportunity to submit written comments, documents, records, and other information relating to the claim for benefits. The review: (i) shall take into account all comments, documents, records, and other information submitted regardless of whether the information was previously submitted or considered in the initial adverse benefit determination; (ii) shall not afford deference to the initial adverse benefit determination; (iii) shall be conducted,

at the direction of the Administrator, by an appropriate fiduciary of the Plan who is neither the individual who made the adverse benefit determination that is the subject of the review, nor the subordinate of such individual; (iv) shall identify medical and vocational experts whose advice was obtained on behalf of the Plan in connection with the initial adverse benefit determination, without regard to whether the advice was relied upon in making the benefit determination; and (v) where based in whole or in part on medical evidence or medical judgment, including determinations with regard to whether a particular treatment, drug, or other item is experimental, investigational, or not medically necessary or appropriate, shall include consultation with a physician, with appropriate training and experience in the field of medicine involved in the medical judgment, who was neither consulted in connection with the initial adverse benefit determination, nor the subordinate of any such professional.

The appeal will then be approved or denied by the Administrator or its delegate, as it deems appropriate, based on its interpretation of the Plan in light of the medical evidence.

Before an adverse benefit determination on review of a claim due to Disability is issued, the claimant shall be provided, free of charge, with any new or additional evidence considered, relied upon, or generated by the Administrator or its delegate making the benefit determination (or at the direction of the Administrator) in connection with the claim; such evidence will be provided as soon as possible and sufficiently in advance of the date on which the notice of adverse benefit determination on review is required to be provided to give the claimant a reasonable opportunity to respond prior to that date.

Also before an adverse benefit determination on review based on a new or additional rationale is issued, the claimant shall be provided, free of charge, the rationale; the rationale must be provided as soon as possible and sufficiently in advance of the date on which the notice of adverse benefit determination on review is required to be provided to give the claimant a reasonable opportunity to respond prior to that date.

A final benefit determination will be made by the Administrator or its delegate, and the Administrator or its delegate shall provide the claimant with written or electronic notification of the final benefit determination within a reasonable period of time, but no later than 45 days immediately following receipt of claimant’s request for review, unless special circumstances require a further extension of time for processing the claim, which extension may be up to an additional 45 days. If such an extension of time for review is required because of special circumstances, the Administrator or its delegate shall provide the claimant with a written notice of the extension prior to the commencement of the extension. The notice shall describe the special circumstances requiring the extension and the date as of which the final benefit determination shall be made. In the event that a period of time is extended due to a claimant’s failure to submit information necessary to decide a claim, the period for making the benefit determination on review shall be tolled from the date on which the notification of the extension is sent to the claimant until the date on which the claimant responds to the request for additional information. In the case of an adverse final 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 and in a culturally and linguistically appropriate manner: (i) the specific reason or reasons for the adverse final benefit determination;
(ii) reference to the specific Plan provisions on which the adverse final benefit determination is

based; (iii) a statement that the claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records and other information relevant to the claimant’s claim for benefits; (iv) 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 and mandatory arbitration in accordance with Section 10.3 below; (v) either the specific internal rules, guidelines, protocols, standards or other similar criteria of the Plan relied upon in making the adverse determination or a statement that such rules, guidelines, protocols, standards or other similar criteria of the Plan do not exist; (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, applying the terms of the Plan to the claimant’s medical circumstances, or a statement that such explanation shall be provided free of charge upon request; (vii) a discussion of the decision, including an explanation of the basis for disagreeing with or not following: (a) the views presented by the claimant to the Plan of health care professionals treating the claimant and vocational professionals who evaluated the claimant;
(b) the views of medical or vocational experts whose advice was obtained on behalf of the Plan in connection with a claimant’s adverse benefit determination, without regard to whether the advice was relied upon in making the benefit determination; and (c) a disability determination made by the Social Security Administration regarding the claimant presented by the claimant to the Plan; and (viii) the following statement: “You and your plan may have other voluntary alternative dispute resolution options, such as mediation. One way to find out what may be available is to contact your local U.S. Department of Labor Office and your State insurance regulatory agency.” As described above, there shall be only one level of review of an adverse benefit determination, followed by mandatory arbitration under Section 10.3, before a claimant may bring a civil action pursuant to Section 502 of ERISA.

7.3Dispute Arbitration

(a)Effective as to any claims filed on or after June 19, 2014, final and binding arbitration under this Section 7.3 shall be the sole remedy available to a claimant after he or she has exhausted the claim and review procedures set forth in Section 7.1. Furthermore, exhaustion by the claimant of the claim and review procedures set forth in Section 7.1 is a mandatory prerequisite for binding arbitration under this Section 7.3. Any arbitration or civil action brought prior to the exhaustion of the claim and review procedures set forth in Section 7.1 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 7.1, 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 7.3.

Any arbitration under this Section 7.3 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 7.1 shall be upheld by the Arbitrator unless the Arbitrator determines that the Administrator abused its discretion. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if (1) 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 7.3, be subject to de novo review by the Arbitrator, or (2) if the claimant is determined by the Administrator not to be eligible for benefits on account of the Administrator’s determination as to whether Cause, Disability or Good Reason exists, then such decision rendered by the Administrator as to whether Cause, Disability or Good Reason exists shall, if it is challenged by the claimant in accordance with this Section 7.3, 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.

(c)Notwithstanding any contrary provisions of this Section 7.3, if the claim is due to Disability, the following rules apply: (1) arbitration under this Section 7.3 shall be the mandatory second level of appeal following the exhaustion by the claimant of the claim and review procedures set forth in Section 7.2, and such exhaustion is a mandatory prerequisite for arbitration under this Section 7.3—any arbitration or civil action brought with respect to a claim due to Disability prior to the exhaustion of the claim and review procedures set forth in Section 7.2 shall be remanded to the Administrator to permit the claim and review procedures to be exhausted; (2) arbitration of a claim due to Disability under this Section 7.3 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 7.3(c), if the claim is due to Disability, the arbitration shall be conducted as set forth in Section 7.3(b).

Article 8
SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNMENT

8.1Successors to an Employer

Subject to Section 8.2, each Employer will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise) of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Employer or of any division or subsidiary thereof (the business and/or assets of

which constitute at least fifty percent (50%) of the total business and/or assets of the Employer) to expressly assume and agree to perform the Employer’s obligations under this Plan in the same manner and to the same extent that the Employer would be required to perform them if such succession had not taken place.

8.2Sale, Spin-Off, or Liquidation of an Employer

Except as provided in the following two sentences, if EIX sells (regardless of whether pursuant to a stock sale or sale of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Employer), spins-off or liquidates an Employer (other than EIX), this Plan shall be deemed to have been terminated as to all Eligible Employees employed by that Employer and such Eligible Employees shall have no further rights under this Plan and shall have no right to any payment or benefits under this Plan in respect of such termination. If such a sale, spin-off or liquidation occurs after a Potential Change in Control has occurred (and the Board has not declared in good faith that the circumstances giving rise to the Potential Change in Control will not result in an actual Change in Control) or during a Protected Period, the preceding sentence shall not apply with respect to any Eligible Employee who was employed immediately prior to the Potential Change in Control or start of the Protected Period, as applicable, by EIX or an Employer other than the Employer that is sold, spun off, or liquidated. The first sentence of this Section 8.2 will not apply to an Eligible Employee if (i) the Employer has entered a written agreement with the Eligible Employee, (ii) the agreement has been approved by the CEO or the senior officer of EIX responsible for Human Resources (or by EIX’s director responsible for executive compensation if EIX does not have an officer responsible for Human Resources other than the CEO), (iii) the agreement provides specific conditions under which the Eligible Employee will be eligible for the benefits described in Section 2.3 in connection with the sale or spin-off of the Employer, and (iv) those conditions are met.

Article 9
ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

9.1Administrator Action

The Administrator shall act at meetings by affirmative vote of a majority of the members of the Administrator. Any action permitted to be taken at a meeting may be taken without a meeting if, prior to such action, a written consent to the action is signed by all members of the Administrator and such written consent is filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the Administrator. A member of the Administrator shall not vote or act upon any matter which relates solely to himself or herself as an Eligible Employee. The Chair of the Administrator or any other member or members of the Administrator designated by the Chair of the Administrator may execute any certificate or other written direction on behalf of the Administrator.

9.2Powers and Duties of the Administrator

The Administrator shall enforce this Plan in accordance with its terms, shall be charged with the general administration of this Plan, and shall have all powers necessary to accomplish its purposes, including, but not by way of limitation, the power and authority to do the following:

(a)To determine eligibility for and participation in this Plan;

(b)To construe and interpret the terms and provisions of this Plan;

(c)To compute and certify to the amount and kind of benefits payable to Eligible Employees and their Beneficiaries, and to determine the amount of withholding taxes to be deducted pursuant to Article 3;

(g)To appoint a plan administrator or any other agent (which may include, without limitation, one or more employees of EIX), and to delegate to them such powers and duties in connection with the administration of this Plan as the Administrator may from time to time prescribe.

9.3Plan 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.

9.4Information

To enable the Administrator to perform its functions, each Employer shall supply full and timely information to the Administrator on all matters relating to the compensation of all Eligible Employees, their death or other cause of termination, and such other pertinent facts as the Administrator may require.

9.5Compensation, Expenses and Indemnity

The members of the Administrator shall serve without additional compensation for their services hereunder beyond that which they are entitled as authorized by the Board. The Administrator is authorized at the expense of EIX to employ such legal counsel as it may deem advisable to assist in the performance of its duties hereunder. EIX shall pay expenses and fees in connection with the administration of this Plan. To the extent permitted by applicable law, EIX shall indemnify and save harmless the Administrator and each member thereof, the Board and each member thereof, and delegates of the Administrator who are employees of EIX against any and all expenses, liabilities and claims, including legal fees to defend against such liabilities and claims arising out of their discharge in good faith of responsibilities under or incident to this Plan, other

than expenses and liabilities arising out of willful misconduct. This indemnity shall not preclude such further indemnities as may be available under insurance purchased by EIX or provided by EIX under any bylaw, agreement or otherwise, as such indemnities are permitted under state law.

Article 10
MISCELLANEOUS

10.1Release and Agreement

Notwithstanding anything else contained herein to the contrary, each Employer’s obligation to pay benefits to an Eligible Employee is subject to the condition precedent that the Eligible Employee execute, not later than 45 days after the Eligible Employee’s receipt of the Severance Agreement, a valid and effective Severance Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (or such other form, which is substantially the same as the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, as the Administrator may require) and such executed agreement is received by EIX and the Eligible Employee’s Employer no later than 52 days after the Eligible Employee’s receipt of the Severance Agreement and is not revoked by the Eligible Employee or otherwise rendered unenforceable by the Eligible Employee. EIX will provide the applicable form of Severance Agreement to the Eligible Employee on or before the seventh day following the Eligible Employee’s Termination Date. EIX may modify the form of Severance Agreement from time to time to comply with applicable laws, rules and regulations. If the 45-day period for the Eligible Employee to consider the Severance Agreement plus any revocation period afforded by applicable law (together, the “Release Period”) spans two different calendar years, payment of the cash severance benefits pursuant to Section 2.3.1 (including any enhancement thereto pursuant to Section 2.4.1), shall be made within the period of time prescribed by Section 2.3.1 but in the second of those two calendar years and, to the extent required to avoid any tax, penalty or interest under Section 409A of the Code, any benefit payment or reimbursement pursuant to Sections 2.3.2 through 2.3.6 (including any enhancement thereto pursuant to Sections 2.4.1 and 2.4.2) that would otherwise be paid in the first of those two years shall not be paid until the second of those two years.

10.2Term of the Plan

(a)This Plan will commence on the Effective Date and shall continue in effect through December 31, 2009. However, at the end of such initial period and, if extended, at the end of each additional year thereafter, the term of this Plan shall be extended automatically for one additional year, unless the Administrator (or the Board) delivers written notice at least six months prior to the end of such term, or extended term, to each Eligible Employee that this Plan will not be extended, and if such notice is timely given this Plan will terminate at the end of the term then in progress; provided, however, that this provision for automatic extension shall have no application following a Potential Change in Control (unless and until the Board declares in good faith that the circumstances giving rise to the Potential Change in Control will not result in an actual Change in Control) or a Change in Control, in which case the provisions of Section 10.2(b) or Section 10.2(c), respectively, shall apply.

(b)If a Potential Change in Control occurs, the Administrator (or the Board) may not give notice that the term of this Plan will not be extended, or will not be further extended, as the case

may be, unless and until the Board declares in good faith that the circumstances giving rise to the Potential Change in Control will not result in an actual Change in Control or an actual Change in Control occurs.

(c)In the event a Change in Control occurs during the initial or any extended term, this Plan will remain in effect for the longer of: twenty-four months beyond the month in which such Change in Control occurred; or

(1)as to any Eligible Employee who incurs a Qualifying Termination Event, until all obligations of each Employer hereunder to that Eligible Employee have been fulfilled. Any subsequent Change in Control (“Subsequent Change in Control”) that occurs during the initial or any extended term shall also continue the term of this Plan until the later of:

(i)twenty-four months beyond the month in which such Subsequent Change in Control occurred; or

(ii)as to any Eligible Employee who incurs a Qualifying Termination Event, until all obligations of each Employer hereunder have been fulfilled to that Eligible Employee; provided, however, that if a Subsequent Change in Control occurs, it shall only be considered a Change in Control under this Plan if it occurs no later than twenty-four months after the immediately preceding Change in Control or Subsequent Change in Control.

(d)The foregoing provisions of this Section 10.2 are subject to the provisions of Section 8.2 as to any Eligible Employee that is employed by an Employer that is sold or spun-off by EIX.

10.3Employment Status

Except as may be provided under any other written agreement between an Eligible Employee and his or her Employer, the employment of the Eligible Employee by his or her Employer is “at will,” and may be terminated by either the Eligible Employee or the Employer at any time, subject to applicable law. Payments made under this Plan shall not give any person the right to any benefits provided to persons retained in an Employer’s employ (such as, without limitation, health and dental benefits). Except as may otherwise be required by law or set forth specifically in such plans or as otherwise expressly provided in this Plan, such benefits shall terminate as of the date the Eligible Employee’s employment by an Employer terminates.

10.4Gender, 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.

10.5Validity

If any provision of the Plan is held invalid, void or unenforceable, the same will not affect, in any respect whatsoever, the validity of any other provisions of the Plan.

10.6Modification

The Administrator or the Board may from time to time amend this Plan in any way it determines to be advisable; provided, however, that no such amendment shall be effective without the consent of each affected Eligible Employee (or the Eligible Employee’s legal representative) if it is adopted (a) after a Potential Change in Control (unless and until the Board determines in good faith that the circumstances giving rise to the Potential Change in Control will not result in an actual Change in Control or an actual Change in Control occurs), or (b) during a Protected Period. No provision of this Plan may be waived unless as to an Eligible Employee such waiver is agreed to in writing and signed by the Eligible Employee (or the Eligible Employee’s legal representative) and by an authorized member of the Administrator (or the Board) or its designee or legal representative.

10.7Notice

For purposes of this Plan, notices, including Notice of Termination, and all other communications provided for in this Plan shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered or on the date stamped as received by the U.S. Postal Service for delivery by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid and addressed:

(a)if to the Eligible Employee, to his or her latest address as reflected on the records of EIX or his or her Employer, and

(b)if to an Employer, to the attention of EIX’s Corporate Secretary at the address of EIX’s principal executive offices; or to such other address as either party may furnish to the other in writing for the delivery of notices to that party, with specific reference to this Plan and the importance of the notice, except that a notice of change of address shall be effective only upon receipt by the other party.

10.8Applicable Law

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

10.9WARN Act

Benefits payable under this Plan are intended to satisfy, where applicable, any EIX or other Employer’s obligations under the Federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (“WARN”) and any similar obligations that EIX or any other Employer may have under any successor or other federal or state severance pay or pay continuation benefit statute (“Similar Severance Pay Law”). If it is determined that severance or pay continuation obligations to or for the benefit of the Eligible Employee exist under WARN or Similar Severance Pay Law that are in addition to benefits payable under this Plan (the “Additional Payments”), then the Eligible Employee’s entitlement to benefits payable in cash pursuant to Section 2.3 or 2.4 shall be reduced by an aggregate amount equal to the aggregate Additional Payments that it is determined the Eligible Employee is entitled to receive, provided that the reduction shall not cause the Eligible Employee’s aggregate benefit pursuant to Section 2.3.1 (giving effect to any adjustment thereto pursuant to Section 2.4, if applicable under the circumstances) to be less than the

applicable Minimum Benefit. The Eligible Employee shall repay any amounts paid under this Plan to which he or she was not entitled after giving effect to the preceding sentence.

10.10Statutes and Regulations

Any reference to a statute or regulation herein shall include any successor to such statute or regulation.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, EIX has caused its duly authorized executive to execute this amended and restated Plan on the 15th day of December, 2021.

18.Mandatory Arbitration

Except for the injunctive relief provided for in the last paragraph of this Section 18, any dispute or controversy between the Individual, on the one hand, and the Company (or any other Releasee), on the other hand, in any way arising out of, related to, or connected with this Agreement or the subject matter thereof, or arising out of or related to any other dispute between the Individual and the Company or any other member of the Company Group, now or in the future, shall be resolved through: (a) the claims and arbitration provisions contained in Article 7 of the Plan, to the extent the dispute or controversy involves the Severance Benefits or any other benefits under the Plan; (b) the claims and dispute resolution provisions of the applicable benefit plan, to the extent the dispute or controversy involves any claim not released under this Agreement with respect to a benefit plan that is (i) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any other member of the Company Group and (ii) subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974; or (c) final and binding arbitration in accordance with the arbitration provisions in the following paragraph, for other disputes or controversies.

Any arbitration under this Section 18 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. At the conclusion of the arbitration, the Arbitrator shall issue a written

A-8

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 Company. 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.

It is further agreed that the Company will or would suffer irreparable injury if the Individual were to breach Section 6 or 7 of this Agreement and that, regardless of the dispute resolution provisions set forth in the foregoing paragraphs, the Company would by reason of such breach or potential breach be entitled to injunctive relief in a court of appropriate jurisdiction, and the Individual further consents and stipulates to the entry of such injunctive relief in such a court prohibiting the Individual from engaging in any act, conduct, or relationship in violation of, or that would reasonably result in a violation of, this Agreement.

19.Counterparts, Headings

This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, and each counterpart, when executed, shall have the efficacy of a signed original.

20.Waiver, Amendment

Failure to insist upon strict compliance with any of the terms, covenants, or conditions hereof shall not be deemed a waiver of such term, covenant, or condition, nor shall any waiver or relinquishment of, or failure to insist upon strict compliance with, any right or power hereunder at any one or more times be deemed a waiver or relinquishment of such right or power at any other time or times. No waiver shall be binding unless in writing and signed by the party waiving the breach. No amendment of any term or provision of this Agreement shall be binding unless in writing and signed by all parties to this Agreement.

If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any party because it or its representatives drafted any of the provisions of this Agreement.
