IMPORTANT TAX INFORMATION
This tax information is provided in connection with the consent solicitation
made to holders of the bonds.
Under the United States federal income tax laws, the consent payment and
future interest payments may be subject to backup withholding. Generally, these
payments will be subject to backup withholding unless the holder (1) is exempt
from backup withholding or (2) furnishes the payer with its correct taxpayer
identification number, which we refer to as the TIN, and certifies that the
number provided is correct and further certifies that the holder is not subject
to backup withholding as a result of a failure to report all interest or
dividend income. Each holder that consents to the proposed amendments, proposed
waivers and authorization and wants to avoid backup withholding, should provide
the trustee, as Edison Mission Holdings' agent, which we refer to as the
requestor, with the holder's correct TIN (or with a certification that the
holder is awaiting a taxpayer identification number) and with a certification
that the holder is not subject to backup withholding by completing Substitute
Form W-9 below.
Some holders (including, among others, all corporations and some foreign
individuals) are exempt from these backup withholding and reporting
requirements. In general, in order for a foreign individual to qualify as an
exempt recipient, that holder must submit a statement, signed under the
penalties of perjury, attesting to that individual's exempt status. These
statements may be obtained from the solicitation agents or the information
agent. Exempt holders, while not required to file Substitute Form W-9, should
file Substitute Form W-9 and write "exempt" on its face to avoid possible
erroneous backup withholding. Foreign persons not subject to backup withholding
should complete and submit to the trustee a Form W-8 BEN (Certificate of Foreign
Status of Beneficial Owner For U.S. Withholding), and/or other applicable
Form(s) W-8, instead of the Substitute Form W-9. See the enclosed GUIDELINES FOR
REQUEST FOR TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER AND CERTIFICATION ON SUBSTITUTE FORM
W-9 for additional instructions.
If backup withholding applies, Edison Mission Holdings or the trustee, as
the case may be, will be required to withhold at the applicable rate on the
consent payment and any interest payments made to a holder. Backup withholding
is not an additional tax. Rather, the amount of backup withholding is treated,
like any other withheld amounts, as an advance payment of your tax liability,
and your U.S. federal income tax liability will be reduced by the amount of tax
withheld. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be
obtained.
PURPOSE OF SUBSTITUTE FORM W-9
To prevent backup withholding on consent payments and interest payments, you
must notify the trustee of your correct taxpayer identification number by
completing the Substitute Form W-9 below and certifying on Substitute Form W-9
that the taxpayer identification number provided is correct, or that you are
awaiting a taxpayer identification number. In addition, you are required to
certify on Substitute Form W-9 that you are (1) exempt from backup withholding,
or (2) not subject to backup withholding due to prior under-reporting of
interest or dividend income, or (3) the Internal Revenue Service, which we refer
to as the IRS, has notified you that you are no longer subject to backup
withholding.
WHAT NUMBER TO GIVE THE TRUSTEE
To avoid backup withholding on consent payments and interest payments, you
are required to give the trustee the taxpayer identification number of the
registered holder of the bonds. If the registered holder is an individual, the
taxpayer identification number is the taxpayer's social security number. For
most other entities, the taxpayer identification number is the employer
identification number. If the bonds are in more than one name or are not in the
name of the actual owner, consult the enclosed GUIDELINES FOR REQUEST FOR
TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER AND CERTIFICATION ON SUBSTITUTE FORM W-9 for
additional guidelines on what number to report. If the trustee is provided with
an incorrect taxpayer identification number in connection with such payments,
the holder may be subject to a $50.00 penalty imposed by the IRS.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONSENTING HOLDERS FORMING PART
OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE CONSENT SOLICITATION
1. DELIVERY OF THIS CONSENT FORM. Subject to the terms and conditions of
the consent solicitation statement, a properly completed and duly executed copy
of this consent form and any other documents required by this consent form must
be received by the trustee at its address set forth on the cover of this consent
form on or before the expiration date. THE DELIVERY OF THIS CONSENT FORM AND ALL
OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENTS TO THE TRUSTEE IS AT THE ELECTION AND RISK OF THE
HOLDER, AND THE DELIVERY WILL BE DEEMED MADE ONLY WHEN ACTUALLY RECEIVED BY THE
TRUSTEE. SUFFICIENT TIME SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO ASSURE TIMELY DELIVERY. NO CONSENT
FORM SHOULD BE SENT TO ANY PERSON OTHER THAN THE TRUSTEE. THE EXPIRATION DATE IS
5:00 P.M., NEW YORK CITY TIME, ON , 2001, UNLESS EXTENDED BY EDISON
MISSION HOLDINGS. CONSENT FORMS DELIVERED BY FACSIMILE WILL BE BINDING ONLY IF
THE ORIGINAL CONSENT FORM IS DELIVERED ON OR BEFORE THE EXPIRATION DATE.
Any beneficial owner or registered holder who wishes to consent to the
effectuation of the sale-leaseback transaction, the proposed amendments, the
proposed waivers and the authorization but who is not the registered holder
thereof must arrange with the registered holder(s) in order (1) to have the
registered holder deliver an executed proxy or other authorization entitling the
beneficial owner or registered holder to execute the consent form or (2) to have
the registered holder deliver the consent form on behalf of the beneficial owner
or registered holder. Beneficial owners whose bonds are registered in someone
else's name (for example, in the name of DTC or a broker-dealer) should ensure
that the consent form is forwarded to the trustee on a timely basis.
2. QUESTIONS REGARDING VALIDITY, FORM, LEGALITY, ETC. All questions as to
the validity, form, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance of
consents and revocations of consents will be resolved in the first instance by
Edison Mission Holdings, whose determination will be binding. Edison Mission
Holdings reserves the absolute right to reject any or all consents and
revocations of consents that are not in proper form or the acceptance of which
could, in the opinion of the Edison Mission Holdings' counsel, be unlawful.
Edison Mission Holdings also reserves the right to waive any irregularities or
condition of delivery as to particular consents. Unless waived, any
irregularities in connection with deliveries must be cured within such time as
Edison Mission Holdings determines. None of Edison Mission Holdings, the
information agent, the solicitation agents, the trustee or any other person
shall be under any duty to give notification of any irregularities or waiver,
nor shall any of them incur any liability for failure to give notification.
Deliveries of consent forms or notices of revocation will not be deemed to have
been made until irregularities have been cured or waived. Edison Mission
Holdings' interpretation of the terms and conditions of the consent solicitation
statement (including this consent form and the instructions to this consent
form) will be binding.
3. HOLDERS ENTITLED TO CONSENT. Only a registered holder (or its
representative or attorney-in-fact) or another person who has complied with the
procedures set forth in the next sentence may execute or deliver a consent form.
Any beneficial owner or registered holder of bonds who is not the registered
holder of the bonds must arrange with the registered holder(s) to execute and
deliver this consent form on his or her behalf or must obtain an irrevocable
proxy or other authorization from the registered holder(s) and execute and
deliver this consent form together with the other authorization. A consent by a
holder is a continuing consent notwithstanding that registered ownership of a
bond has been transferred subsequent to the record date. A person who becomes a
holder with respect to the bonds after the record date may consent with respect
to the bonds before the expiration date by delivering a consent form, provided
that a consent form has not been given with respect to those bonds.
4. SIGNATURES ON THIS CONSENT FORM; PROXIES. If this consent form is signed
by the registered holder(s) of the bonds with respect to which this consent is
given, or if a proxy delivered with this consent form is signed by the
registered holder(s) of the bonds with respect to which this consent is
7
<Page>
given, the signature(s) of the registered holder(s) must correspond with the
name(s) as contained on the register on the record date, without alteration,
enlargement or any change whatsoever.
The ownership of bonds held through DTC by DTC participants shall be
established by a DTC security position listing provided by DTC as of the record
date. DTC, as a registered holder, has executed an omnibus proxy in favor of DTC
participants which will authorize each DTC participant to deliver a consent with
respect to the bonds held by the DTC participant in DTC's name as of the record
date.
If any of the bonds with respect to which this consent is given were held of
record on the record date by two or more joint owners, all these owners must
sign this consent form, or any proxy delivered with this consent form if this
consent form is being signed by a holder other than the registered holder(s). If
any bonds with respect to which this consent is given have different registered
holders, it will be necessary to complete, sign and submit as many separate
copies of this consent form and any necessary accompanying documents as there
are different registered holders.
If this consent form or any proxies are signed by trustees, executors,
administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers or corporations or others
acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, these persons should indicate
this fact when signing, and, unless waived by Edison Mission Holdings, evidence
satisfactory to Edison Mission Holdings of their authority to so act must be
submitted with this consent form.
5. REVOCATION OF CONSENTS. Before the consent date, holders of outstanding
bonds may revoke their consent in part or in whole, but in multiples of $1,000.
To revoke their consent, holders must, before that time, deliver to the trustee
at the address set forth on the cover page of this consent form a written
revocation of the consent, containing its name, the serial numbers of the
outstanding bonds to which the revocation relates, the principal amount of the
outstanding bonds to which the revocation relates and its signature. Holders'
consents cannot be revoked after the consent date.
If a revocation is signed by a trustee, partner, executor, administrator,
guardian, attorney-in-fact, officer of a corporation or other person acting in a
fiduciary or representative capacity, that person must so indicate when signing
and must submit with the revocation appropriate evidence of authority to execute
the revocation. A revocation of consent will only be effective as to outstanding
bonds listed on the revocation. Only a holder as reflected in the register of
the trustee is entitled to revoke a consent previously given. A beneficial owner
of outstanding bonds who is not the holder of the bonds must arrange with the
registered holder to execute and deliver to the trustee on the beneficial
owner's behalf, or to the beneficial owner for forwarding to the trustee by the
beneficial owner, either a revocation of any consent already given with respect
to the bonds or the duly executed proxy from the registered holder authorizing
the beneficial owner to act on behalf of the registered holder as to the
consent. A revocation of a consent may only be rescinded by the execution and
delivery of a new consent, in accordance with the procedures in the consent
solicitation statement described by the holder who delivered the revocation.
6. WAIVER OF CONDITIONS. Edison Mission Holdings reserves the absolute
right to amend, waive or modify specified conditions of the consent
solicitation, subject (if required) to the agreement of the trustee.

WHAT NAME AND NUMBER TO GIVE THE REQUESTER
NAME
If you are an individual, you must generally enter the name shown on your
Social Security card. However, if you have changed your last name, for instance,
due to marriage, without informing the Social Security Administration of the
name change, enter your first name, the last name shown on your Social Security
card, and your new last name. If the account is in joint names, list first and
then circle the name of the person or entity whose number you enter in Part I of
the form.
SOLE PROPRIETOR--You must enter your individual name as shown on your Social
Security card. You may enter your business, trade or "doing business as" name on
the business name line.
LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY (LLC)--If you are a single-member LLC (including a
foreign LLC with a domestic owner) that is disregarded as an entity separate
from its owner under Treasury regulations ss. 301.7701-3, enter the owner's
name. Enter the LLC's name on the business name line. A disregarded domestic
entity that has a foreign owner must use the appropriate Form W-8.
OTHER ENTITIES--Enter the business name as shown on required federal income
tax documents. This name should match the name shown on the charter or other
legal document creating the entity. You may enter any business, trade or "doing
business as" name on the business name line.
TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (TIN)
You must enter your taxpayer identification number in the appropriate box.
If you are a resident alien and you do not have and are not eligible to get a
Social Security number, your taxpayer identification number is your IRS
individual taxpayer identification number, which we refer to as the ITIN. Enter
it in the Social Security number box. If you do not have an individual taxpayer
identification number, see HOW TO GET A TIN BELOW. If you are a sole proprietor
and you have an employer identification number, you may enter either your Social
Security number or employer identification number. However, using your employer
identification number may result in unnecessary notices to the requester, and
the IRS prefers that you use your Social Security number. If you are an LLC that
is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner under Treasury regulations
ss. 301.7701-3, and are owned by an individual, enter the owner's Social
Security number. If the owner of a disregarded LLC is a corporation,
partnership, etc., enter the owner's employer identification number. See the
chart below for further clarification of name and TIN combinations.
Social Security numbers, which we refer to as SSN's, have nine digits
separated by two hyphens: i.e. 000-00-0000. Employer identification numbers,
which we refer to as EIN's, have nine digits separated by only one hyphen: i.e.
00-0000000.
The table below will help determine the number to give the requester.

NOTE: If no name is circled when more than one name is listed, the number will
be considered to be that of the first name listed.
HOW TO GET A TIN
If you do not have a taxpayer identification number, apply for one
immediately. To apply for a Social Security number, get FORM SS-5, APPLICATION
FOR A SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER CARD, from your local Social Security
Administration office. Get FORM W-7 to apply for an individual taxpayer
identification number or FORM SS-4, APPLICATION FOR EMPLOYER IDENTIFICATION
NUMBER, to apply for an employer identification number. You can get Forms W-7
and SS-4 from the IRS.
If you do not have a taxpayer identification number, write "Applied For" in
the space for the taxpayer identification number, sign and date the form, and
give it to the requester. For interest and dividend payments and some payments
made with respect to readily tradable instruments, you will generally have 60
days to get a taxpayer identification number and give it to the requester before
you are subject to backup withholding. Other payments are subject to backup
withholding without regard to the 60-day rule, until you provide your taxpayer
identification number.

IF YOU ARE EXEMPT FROM BACKUP WITHHOLDING, YOU SHOULD STILL COMPLETE AND
FILE SUBSTITUTE FORM W-9 TO AVOID POSSIBLE ERRONEOUS BACKUP WITHHOLDING. ENTER
YOUR CORRECT TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER IN PART I, WRITE "EXEMPT" IN
PART II, AND SIGN AND DATE THE FORM AND RETURN IT TO THE REQUESTER.
If you are a nonresident alien or a foreign entity not subject to backup
withholding, give the requester a completed FORM W-8, CERTIFICATE OF FOREIGN
STATUS.
PRIVACY ACT NOTICE.--Section 6109 of the Code requires you to give your
correct taxpayer identification number to persons who must file information
returns with the IRS to report interest, dividends and certain other income paid
to you. The IRS uses the numbers for identification purposes and to help verify
the accuracy of your tax return. The IRS may also provide this information to
the Department of Justice for civil and criminal litigation

and to cities, states, and the District of Columbia to carry out their tax laws.
You must provide your taxpayer identification number whether or not you are
required to file a tax return. Payers must generally withhold 31% of taxable
interest, dividends and certain other payments to a payee who does not furnish a
taxpayer identification number to a payer. Certain penalties may also apply.
PENALTIES
(1) FAILURE TO FURNISH TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER.--If you fail to
furnish your correct taxpayer identification number to a requester, you are
subject to a penalty of $50.00 for each failure unless your failure is due to
reasonable cause and not to willful neglect.
(2) CIVIL PENALTY FOR FALSE INFORMATION WITH RESPECT TO WITHHOLDING.--If you
make a false statement with no reasonable basis which results in no backup
withholding, you are subject to a $500.00 penalty.
(3) CRIMINAL PENALTY FOR FALSIFYING INFORMATION.--Willfully falsifying
certifications or affirmations may subject you to criminal penalties including
fines and/or imprisonment.

REVENUE SERVICE.
