SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON COMPANY, a corporation organized and existing under and by virtue of the

reimbursement obligations with respect to Letters of Credit (as defined in the Credit Agreement), in whole or
in installments on such date or dates as the Company has any obligation to make payments of principal on the
Loans and reimbursement obligations in respect of the Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement, but not
later than December 15, 2010, and to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount hereof to the registered
owner hereof at such rate or rates per annum and on such dates as shall cause the amount of interest payable
on this Bond on such dates to equal the amount of outstanding Obligations (as defined in the Bond Delivery
Agreement (as hereinafter defined)), other than principal, payable on such dates, as provided below. The
principal amount of this Bond may increase or decrease from time to time.
The principal of and interest on this Bond are payable, when due, at the offices of The Bank of New
York Trust Company, N.A., Trustee, in Chicago, Illinois, or at such other agency or agencies as may be
designated by the Company, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment
is legal tender for public and private debts.
This Bond is one of a series, designated as "Series 2005G, Due 2010," of a duly authorized issue of
bonds of the Company, known as its "First and Refunding Mortgage Bonds," issued and to be issued in one or
more series under, and all equally and ratably secured by, a Trust Indenture, dated as of October 1, 1923,
and indentures supplemental thereto, including the One Hundred Eleventh Supplemental Indenture, dated as of
December 12, 2005, which have been duly executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Company to The Bank of
New York Trust Company, N.A., and D. G. Donovan, or one of their predecessors, as Trustees, to which original
indenture and indentures supplemental thereto (collectively, the "Trust Indenture") reference is hereby made
for a description of the property, rights and franchises thereby mortgaged and pledged, the nature and extent
of the security thereby created, the rights of the holder of this Bond and of the Trustees in respect of such
security, and the terms, restrictions and conditions upon which the bonds are issued and secured.
This Bond has been issued to the Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement, dated as of December
15, 2005, as amended from time to time (the "Credit Agreement"), among the Company and JPMorgan Chase Bank,
N.A., as Administrative Agent, Citicorp North America, Inc., as Syndication Agent, and the Lenders named
therein, and the Bond Delivery Agreement, dated as of the date of the Credit Agreement, as amended from time
to time (the "Bond Delivery Agreement"), between the Company and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative
Agent, to provide for the payment of the Obligations the Company is or becomes obligated to pay under the
Credit Agreement and to provide the benefits of the security afforded by this Bond and the Trust Indenture.
Page 6
Any payment of principal or interest, or other Obligations, made by the Company under the Credit
Agreement shall be deemed a payment in respect of the corresponding obligations under this Bond; provided
that such payment shall not reduce the principal amount of this Bond unless, and only to the extent that, the
aggregate amount of the Commitments (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is irrevocably reduced. In the
event that all of the principal of and interest on the Loans, all reimbursement obligations with respect to
Letters of Credit, and the other Obligations with respect to the Loans and Letters of Credit under the Credit
Agreement that are due upon the payment in full of the principal of and interest on the Loans and the
termination of the Commitments therefor have been paid in full and discharged or, following the Termination
Date (as defined in the Credit Agreement) with respect to Letters of Credit, cash collateralized or supported
by a standby letter of credit pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, and the Commitments have been
terminated, this Bond shall be deemed paid in full and the Administrative Agent shall surrender this Bond to
The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee, for cancellation in full. At the option of the
Company, the Administrative Agent shall surrender this Bond to The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as
Trustee, for cancellation in full, upon the Company's having received the minimum unsecured debt rating and
satisfied the other conditions set forth in Section 9.14(b) of the Credit Agreement.
This Bond shall be redeemed by the Company at the same time or times as the Loans or reimbursement
obligations with respect to Letters of Credit must be mandatorily prepaid under the Credit Agreement if an
event of default under the Credit Agreement causes the Loans or reimbursement obligations with respect to
Letters of Credit to become immediately due and payable. The redemption price shall be an amount equal to
the unpaid principal of and accrued interest on the Loans, the reimbursement obligations with respect to
Letters of Credit, and all other outstanding Obligations with respect to the Loans and Letters of Credit, at
the date of redemption. The holder of this Bond, by the acceptance hereof, does hereby waive any notice of
redemption provided by the Trust Indenture. The Company covenants that moneys in the Special Trust Fund
provided by the Trust Indenture shall not be used for the purpose of redeeming or purchasing this Bond.
If default shall be made in the payment of any installment of principal of or interest on this Bond
that is due and payable, or in the performance or observance of any of the covenants and agreements contained
in the Trust Indenture, and such default shall continue as provided in the Trust Indenture, then the
principal of this Bond may be declared and become due and payable as provided in the Trust Indenture.
This Bond may not be transferred except to a successor Administrative Agent under the Credit
Agreement. When so permitted, this Bond is transferable only on the books of the Company at any of the
places designated above for the payment, when due, of the outstanding principal of and premium, if any, or
interest on this Bond, or at such other agency or agencies as may be designated by the Company, by the
registered owner or by an attorney of such owner duly authorized in writing, on surrender hereof properly
endorsed, and upon such surrender hereof, and the payment
Page 7
of charges, a new registered bond or bonds of this series, of an equal aggregate principal amount, will be
issued to the transferee in lieu hereof, as provided in the Trust Indenture.
The terms of the Trust Indenture may be modified as set forth in the Trust Indenture; provided,
however, that, among other things, (a) the obligation of the Company to pay, when due, the outstanding
principal of and premium, if any, and interest on all bonds outstanding under the Trust Indenture, as at the
time in effect, shall continue unimpaired, (b) no modification shall give any of said bonds any preference
over any other of said bonds, and (c) no modification shall authorize the creation of any lien prior to the
lien of the Trust Indenture on any of the trust property.
No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, or interest on this
Bond, or any part thereof, or for or on account of the consideration herefor, or for any claim based hereon,
or otherwise in respect hereof, or of the Trust Indenture, against any past, present or future stockholder,
officer or director of the Company or of any predecessor or successor company, whether for amounts unpaid on
stock subscriptions, or by virtue of any statue or constitution, or by the enforcement of any assessment or
penalty, or because of any representation or inference arising from the capitalization of the Company or of
such predecessor or successor company, or otherwise; all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and
as a part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly released.
This Bond shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose until it shall have been authenticated by
the execution of the certificate of authentication hereon of The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A.,
Trustee, or its successor in trust.
