FIRST AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT
FIRST AMENDMENT dated as of February 14, 2008 (this "Amendment"), to the
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of February 23, 2007 (the "Existing Credit
Agreement"), among SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON COMPANY, a California corporation (the
"Borrower"), the several banks and other financial institutions from time to time parties
thereto (the "Lenders"), CITICORP NORTH AMERICA, INC., as syndication agent (in its
capacity as such, the "Syndication Agent"), CREDIT SUISSE, LEHMAN COMMERCIAL PAPER INC. AND
WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A., as documentation agents (in their respective capacities as such,
the "Documentation Agents"), and JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., as administrative agent for the
Lenders (in such capacity, the "Administrative Agent"). Capitalized terms used but not
defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Existing Credit
Agreement.
W I T N E S S E T H :
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement, the Lenders have agreed to
make, and have made, certain extensions of credit to and for the account of the Borrower;
and
WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that, upon the terms and conditions set
forth herein, the Existing Credit Agreement be amended as provided herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1. Amendment to Section 1.1 of the Existing Credit Agreement. Section 1.1 of the
Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting that portion of the definition of
"Interest Period" which appears before the phrase "provided that" and substituting therefor
the following:
"Interest Period": (a) with respect to any ABR Loan, the period commencing on
the Borrowing Date or the Conversion Date, as the case may be, with respect to such
ABR Loan and ending on the last day of each March, June, September and December to
occur while such Loan is outstanding and the final maturity date of such Loan, and
(b) with respect to any Eurodollar Loan:
(i) initially, the period commencing on the Borrowing Date or the Conversion
Date, as the case may be, with respect to such Eurodollar Loan and ending one, two,
three or six months or 7, 14 or 21 days thereafter as selected by the Borrower in its
notice of borrowing or notice of conversion, as the case may be, given with respect
thereto; and
(ii) thereafter, each period commencing on the last day of the next preceding
Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Loan and ending one, two, three or six
months or 7, 14 or 21 days thereafter as selected by the Borrower by irrevocable
notice to the Administrative Agent not less than two Business Days prior to the last
day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto;
Page 1
2. Amendment to Section 2.2 of the Existing Credit Agreement. Section 2.2 of the
Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting clause (a) and replacing it with
the following: "(a) 11:00 A.M., New York City time, two business days prior to the
requested Borrowing Date, in the case of Eurodollar".
3. Amendment to Section 2.6 of the Existing Credit Agreement. Section 2.6 of the
Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended by:
(a) deleting the phrase "12:30 P.M." and replacing it with the phrase "11:00
A.M." in paragraph (a) thereof; and
(b) deleting the word "three" and replacing it with the word "two" in paragraph
(a) thereof.
4. Amendment to Section 2.18 of the Existing Credit Agreement. Section 2.18 of the
Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting such Section and substituting
therefor the following:
2.18. Extension Option. The Borrower may request that the Total
Commitments be renewed for additional one year periods by providing notice of such
request to the Administrative Agent no earlier than a number of days specified by the
Administrative Agent from time to time prior to the then next occurring anniversary
of the Closing Date (each, a "Noticed Anniversary Date"). If a Lender agrees, in its
individual and sole discretion, to extend its Commitment (an "Extending Lender"), it
will notify the Administrative Agent, in writing, of its decision to do so no later
than a number of days prior to the applicable Noticed Anniversary Date specified by
the Administrative Agent from time to time (but in any event not later than 20 days
prior to such Noticed Anniversary Date). The Administrative Agent will notify the
Borrower, in writing, of the Lenders' decisions no later than 5 days prior to such
Noticed Anniversary Date. The Extending Lenders' Commitments will be renewed for an
additional one year from the then existing Termination Date and such extended
Termination Date shall become the Termination Date (except as otherwise provided in
this Section 2.18 as to Declining Lenders), provided that (i) more than 50% of the
Total Commitments is extended or otherwise committed to by Extending Lenders and any
new Lenders and (ii) all representations and warranties made by the Borrower in or
pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects on
and as of such date as if made on and as of such date, except (A) any representations
and warranties which are explicitly stated as having been made as of a specific date,
which representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material
respects on and as of such date and (B) the representations and warranties set forth
in Sections 4.2 and 4.7 shall not be required to be restated. Any Lender that
declines or does not respond to the Borrower's request for commitment renewal (a
"Declining Lender") will have its Commitment terminated on the earlier of (i) the
then existing Termination Date (without regard to any renewals by other Lenders) (the
"Existing Termination Date") and (ii) the date such Declining Lender is replaced in
accordance with Section 2.17, and at such time the Borrower shall repay all
Page 2
Loans, participations in LC Disbursements, participating interests in Swingline Loans
and Swingline Participation Amounts and other amounts owing to such Declining
Lender. The Borrower will have the right to accept commitments from third party
financial institutions acceptable to the Administrative Agent in an amount up to the
amount of the Commitments of any Declining Lenders, provided that the Extending
Lenders will have the right to increase their Commitments up to the amount of the
Declining Lenders' Commitments before the Borrower will be permitted to substitute
any other financial institutions for the Declining Lenders. The Borrower may only so
extend the Termination Date five times. The Termination Date may not be extended
beyond February 23, 2017.
5. Approval of Extension to February 25, 2013. The Borrower has requested that the
Termination Date be extended from February 23, 2012 to February 25, 2013. Each Lender party
hereto agrees to extend its Commitment to February 25, 2013. For the purpose of
clarification, the Lenders hereby agree to waive the requirements of Section 2.18 of the
Existing Credit Agreement, as amended by this Amendment, with respect to such extension.
6. Addition of Swingline Facility. The Lenders hereby consent to the amendment of the
Existing Credit Agreement in order to establish a $200,000,000 swingline facility (the
"Swingline Facility") by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as a subfacility under the Commitments.
The swingline facility shall contain terms substantially as set forth on Schedule I hereto
and such other terms as the Administrative Agent believes in its sole discretion as
necessary or advisable in connection with the implementation of the Swingline Facility.
The Lenders authorize the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to enter into such
amendments to the Existing Credit Agreement as are necessary or advisable to establish the
Swingline Facility.
7. Effectiveness. This Amendment shall become effective on the date the Administrative
Agent has received counterparts of this Amendment executed by the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders; provided that if counterparts are received
by the Required Lenders, but not all of the Lenders, the Lenders hereby agree that, at
Borrower's discretion, either (a) the Borrower shall replace the Lenders that have not
provided their counterpart in accordance with Section 2.17 of the Existing Credit
Agreement, and this Amendment will be effective in its totality, or (b) this Amendment will
be effective, other than Section 6 hereof.
8. Payment of Fees and Expenses. The Borrower agrees to pay or reimburse the
Administrative Agent for all of its out-of-pocket costs and reasonable expenses incurred in
connection with this Amendment and any other documents prepared in connection herewith and
the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees
and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent.
9. Representations and Warranties. After giving effect to this Amendment, the Borrower
hereby confirms, reaffirms and restates the representations and warranties set forth in
Section 4 of the Existing Credit Agreement as if made on and as of the date hereof except
for any representation or warranty made as of the earlier date, which representation or
warranty shall
Page 3
have been true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date, and except
that the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 4.2 and 4.7 are not hereby
restated.
10. Governing Law; Counterparts. (a) This Amendment and the rights and obligations of
the parties hereto shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with,
the laws of the State of New York.
(b) This Amendment may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement in any
number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be
deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Amendment
signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.
This Amendment may be delivered by facsimile transmission of the relevant signature pages
hereof.

for a term of one Business Day) at the time reviewed by the Administrative Agent.
"Cost of Funds Rate Loan": a Swingline Loan that bears interest at a rate
based upon the Cost of Funds Rate.
"Exposure": with respect to any Lender at any time, an amount equal to the sum

Swingline Loans at such time.
"Loan": any loan made by any Lender pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section
X.2(b).

of Swingline Loans.
"Swingline Loans": as defined in Section X.1.
"Swingline Participation Amount": as defined in Section X.2(b).
Operative Provisions
X.1. Swingline Commitment. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof,
the Swingline Lender agrees to make a portion of the credit otherwise available to the
Borrower under the Commitments from time to time during the Commitment Period by making
swing line loans ("Swingline Loans") to the Borrower; provided that (i) the aggregate
principal amount of Swingline Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Swingline
Commitment then in effect (notwithstanding that the Swingline Loans outstanding at any
time, when aggregated with the Swingline Lender's other outstanding Loans, may exceed the
Swingline Commitment then in effect) and (ii) the Borrower shall not request, and the
Swingline Lender shall not make, any Swingline Loan if, after giving effect to the making
of such Swingline Loan, the Total Exposures would exceed the Total Commitments. During the
Commitment Period, the Borrower may use the Swingline Commitment by borrowing, repaying and
reborrowing, all in accordance with the
Page 24
terms and conditions hereof. Swingline Loans shall be ABR Loans or Cost of Funds Rate
Loans only.
(b) A Swingline Loan shall be an ABR Loan, unless the Borrower has requested
a Cost of Funds Rate Loan at a Cost of Funds Rate quoted by the Swingline Lender and
confirmed by the Borrower pursuant to the following procedures. If the Borrower desires a
Cost of Funds Rate Loan (i) the Borrower shall request a quote for a Cost of Funds Rate
Loan, and the Swingline Lender shall within a reasonable time after receipt of the request
directly contact the Borrower (which may be done by telephone) with its Cost of Funds Rate
(confirmed by telecopy), (ii) the Borrower shall immediately inform the Swingline Lender of
its decision as to whether to request a Cost of Funds Rate Loan at the Cost of Funds Rate
(which may be done by telephone and promptly confirmed in writing and which decision shall
be irrevocable), and (iii) if the Borrower has so informed the Swingline Lender that it
does desire a Cost of Funds Rate Loan at the Cost of Funds Rate, the Swingline Lender shall
promptly make such Cost of Funds Rate Loan available to the Borrower. At all times such
Loan is a Cost of Funds Rate Loan, the Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal
amount of such Cost of Funds Rate Loan from the date of such Cost of Funds Rate Loan until
such principal amount shall be paid in full at a rate per annum equal to the Cost of Funds
Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Loans in effect
from time to time.
(c) The Borrower shall repay to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid
principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the earlier of the Termination Date and the date
that is five Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made; provided that on each date
that a Loan is borrowed, the Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans then outstanding.
X.2 Procedure for Swingline Borrowing; Refunding of Swingline Loans. (a)
The Borrower may borrow under the Swingline Commitment during the Commitment Period on any
Business Day, provided that the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable
notice, which notice must be executed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower and received
by the Administrative Agent prior to 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the requested
Borrowing Date. Each such notice shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed and (ii) the
requested Borrowing Date. Each borrowing under the Swingline Commitment shall be in an
amount equal to $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof; provided that
a borrowing under the Swingline Commitment may be in any amount (subject to Section X.1)
that is required to finance the reimbursement of all or a part of an LC Disbursement as
contemplated by Section 3.5. The Swingline Lender will make the amount of each borrowing
under the Swingline Facility available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the
Borrower at the office of the Administrative Agent specified in Section 9.2 prior to 3:00
P.M., New York City time, on the Borrowing Date requested by the Borrower in funds
immediately available to the Administrative Agent. Such borrowing will then be made
available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent crediting the account of the Borrower
on the books of such office with the amount made available to the Administrative Agent by
the Swingline Lender promptly upon receipt thereof and in like funds as received by the
Administrative Agent; provided that Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC
Disbursement as provided in Section 3.5 shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to
the applicable Issuing Lender.
Page 25
(b) The Swingline Lender, at any time and from time to time in its sole and
absolute discretion may, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably directs the
Swingline Lender to act on its behalf), on one Business Day's notice given by the Swingline
Lender no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, request each Lender to make, and each
Lender hereby agrees to make, a Loan, in an amount equal to such Lender's Percentage of the
aggregate amount of the Swingline Loans (the "Refunded Swingline Loans") outstanding on the
date of such notice, to repay the Swingline Lender. Each Lender shall make the amount of
such Loan available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender at
the office of the Administrative Agent specified in Section 9.2 prior to 10:00 A.M., New
York City time, one Business Day after the date of such notice in funds immediately
available to the Administrative Agent. The proceeds of such Loans will then be immediately
made available by the Administrative Agent to the Swingline Lender for application by the
Swingline Lender to the repayment of the Refunded Swingline Loans.
(c) If prior to the time a Loan could have otherwise been made pursuant to
Section X.2(b), one of the events described in Section 7(e) shall have occurred and be
continuing with respect to the Borrower or if for any other reason, as determined by the
Swingline Lender in its sole discretion, Loans are not or cannot be made as contemplated by
Section X.2(b), each Lender shall, on the date such Loan should have been made pursuant to
the notice referred to in Section X.2(b), purchase for cash an undivided participating
interest in the then outstanding Swingline Loans by paying to the Swingline Lender an
amount (the "Swingline Participation Amount") equal to (i) such Lender's Percentage times
(ii) the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans then outstanding that
were to have been repaid with such Loans.
(d) Whenever, at any time after the Swingline Lender has received from any
Lender such Lender's Swingline Participation Amount, the Swingline Lender receives any
payment on account of the Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender will distribute to such
Lender its Swingline Participation Amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest
payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender's participating interest
was outstanding and funded and, in the case of principal and interest payments, to reflect
such Lender's pro rata portion of such payment if such payment is not sufficient to pay the
principal of and interest on all Swingline Loans then due); provided, however, that in the
event that such payment received by the Swingline Lender is required to be returned, such
Lender will return to the Swingline Lender any portion thereof previously distributed to it
by the Swingline Lender.
(e) Each Lender's obligation to make the Loans referred to in Section X.2(b)
and to purchase participating interests pursuant to Section X.2(c) shall be absolute and
unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff,
counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender or the Borrower may have
against the Swingline Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever,
(ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to
satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 5, (iii) any adverse change in the
condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or
any other Loan Document by the Borrower or any other Lender or (v) any other circumstance,
happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.
Page 26
(f) No modification, supplement or waiver to this Agreement that shall modify
or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Swingline Lender shall be permitted without
the prior written consent of the Swingline Lender.
(g) The Swingline Lender shall be entitled to consent to assignments of
Commitments and Loans (other than in the case of assignments to a Lender, or an Affiliate
or Approved Fund thereof), such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
