5. Fiduciary Duty of the Company.

Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Company (on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries) from taking or failing to take any action that the Company is obligated to take (or obligated to fail to take) on behalf of itself or its subsidiaries in the performance of any fiduciary or similar duty which the Company or its subsidiaries, as applicable, owes or owe to any other person or entity under applicable law, provided, that it is agreed that such act may result in an

EIX Termination Event, a Required Consenting Noteholder Termination Event, or a Company Termination Event (each as defined below). The Company shall give prompt written notice of any determination made in accordance with this Section 5. The Company (on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries) represents to EIX and the Consenting Noteholders that as of the Agreement Effective Date (as defined herein), based on the facts and circumstances actually known by the Company as of the Agreement Effective Date, the Company’s entry into this Agreement is consistent with its fiduciary duties and those of its subsidiaries.

6. Transfer of Notes Claims or Other Claims or Interests.

Each Consenting Noteholder agrees that, so long as this Agreement has not been terminated in accordance with its terms, it shall not (a) grant any proxies to any person in connection with its Note Claims, or other claims against or interests in any Debtor, to vote on the Plan or (b) sell, loan, issue, pledge, hypothecate, assign, transfer, or otherwise dispose of (including by participation) (the “Transfer”), directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, any Notes Claim, or any option thereon or any right or interest therein, unless (i) the transferee is a Party to this Agreement or (ii) if the transferee is not to a Party to this Agreement prior to the effectiveness of the Transfer, such transferee delivers to the Company, at or prior to the time of the proposed Transfer, an executed copy of a transfer agreement in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto, in which event the transferee shall be deemed to be a Consenting Noteholder hereunder and the transferor shall be deemed to relinquish its rights (and be released from its obligations) under this Agreement to the extent of such transferred rights and obligations. Each Consenting Noteholder agrees that any Transfer or purported Transfer that does not comply with this Agreement shall be deemed void ab initio. For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement shall in no way be construed to preclude any holder of Notes Claims from acquiring additional Notes or any other interests in any of the Debtors; provided, that any such additional Notes or other interests in such Debtor shall, upon acquisition, automatically be deemed to be subject to all the terms of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties agree that credit default swaps shall not be deemed or construed to be claims or interests in the Debtors.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (i) a Consenting Noteholder may Transfer or participate any right, title or interest in Note Claims to an entity that is acting in its capacity as a Qualified Marketmaker without the requirement that the Qualified Marketmaker be or become a Consenting Noteholder, provided that any subsequent Transfer by such Qualified Marketmaker of the right, title or interest in such Note Claims shall only be valid if the transferee is or becomes a Consenting Noteholder by executing and delivering a Transfer Agreement, and (ii) to the extent that a Consenting Noteholder is acting in its capacity as a Qualified Marketmaker, it may Transfer or participate any right, title or interest in any Notes that the Qualified Marketmaker acquires from a holder of the Notes who is not a Consenting Noteholder without the requirement that the transferee be or become a Consenting Noteholder. For avoidance of doubt, a Qualified Marketmaker may purchase, transfer or participate any claims against or interests in the Debtors other than Note Claims without any requirement that the transferee be or become subject to this Agreement.

For purposes of this paragraph, “Qualified Marketmaker” means an entity that (i) holds itself out to the market as standing ready in the ordinary course of its business to purchase from

customers and sell to customers claims against the Company and its affiliates (including debt securities, the Notes or other debt) or enter with customers into long and short positions in claims against the Company and its affiliates (including debt securities, the Notes or other debt), in its capacity as a dealer or market maker in such claims against the Company and its affiliates and (ii) is in fact regularly in the business of making a market in claims against issuers or borrowers (including debt securities or other debt).

d. unless such proceeding or order was issued or reinstated at the request or with the acquiescence of the Company or any of its affiliates, there shall have been issued any order, decree or ruling by any court or governmental body having jurisdiction that materially adversely affects the benefits intended to be received by the Company or its subsidiaries hereunder, or that restrains, enjoins, prevents, or renders illegal, the consummation of the Settlement Transaction or other transactions set forth in this Agreement and the Term Sheets and in all other circumstances, such order is not stayed, reversed, or vacated within fifteen (15) calendar days after such issuance;

provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, except with respect to Section 9(c) hereof, no notice of termination from any Party shall be valid if the applicable event giving rise to such Party’s right to terminate this Agreement results from such Party failing to comply with its obligations under this Agreement in any material respect. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding the foregoing, no notice of termination from the Company (on behalf of itself and/or its subsidiaries) shall be limited or deemed invalid in any respect on account of any director of the Company having agreed with, or voted to approve, the Company’s exercising (or taking actions to exercise) any of their rights to terminate this Agreement.

10. Additional Termination Events.

This Agreement shall terminate and all obligations of the Parties shall terminate and be of no further force and effect:

a. upon consummation of the Restructuring contemplated in this Agreement and the occurrence of the effective date of the Plan, which Plan shall supersede and replace this Agreement provided the Plan is consistent with the Settlement Transaction, MRA, and MRA Agreements; or

b. by written agreement signed by (i) the Company (on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries); (ii) EIX (on behalf of itself and the EIX Subsidiaries); and (iii) the Consenting Noteholders.

11. Effect of Termination and Automatic Stay.

a. Upon termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and of no further force or effect as to the Party or Parties for which termination is effective under Sections 7, 8, 9, and 10 (each a “Terminated Party”), each Terminated Party shall be released from its respective commitments, undertakings, and agreements under or related to this Agreement, and there shall be no liability or obligation on the part of the Terminated Party; provided that in no event shall any such termination relieve a Party from liability for its breach or non-performance of its obligations hereunder prior to the date of such termination.

b. The Parties (on behalf of themselves and subsidiaries and affiliates) acknowledge and agree and shall not dispute that after the Petition Date, the giving of notice of termination of this Agreement, or waiver of a right of termination, shall not be a violation of the automatic stay of section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code (and the Company, on behalf of itself and the other Debtors, hereby waives, to the greatest extent possible, the applicability of the automatic stay to the giving of such notice); provided, however, nothing herein shall prejudice any Party’s rights to argue that the termination was not proper under the terms of this Agreement.

12. Publicity and Disclosure.

a. Except as required by law (as determined by outside counsel to the Company) and with reasonable prior notice to EIX and the Consenting Noteholders taking into

account the circumstances, the Company and EIX shall not and will cause their respective subsidiaries to not (a) use the name of the Indenture Trustee or any Consenting Noteholder in any press release without such Party’s prior written consent, (b) disclose to any person other than legal and financial advisors to the Company the principal amount or percentage of any Notes Claims or any other securities of the Company or its subsidiaries held by any Consenting Noteholder; provided that the Company shall be permitted to disclose at any time the aggregate principal amount of and aggregate percentage of the Notes Claims held by the Consenting Noteholders; or (c) disclose information from EIX without EIX’s prior written consent or a mutually acceptable confidentiality agreement.

b. Subject to the preceding clause 12.a. and the terms and conditions of the confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements between or among the Company, EIX, and the Consenting Noteholders and their legal and financial advisors, the Company may elect to publicly disclose (i) this Agreement (including exhibits hereto) and the material terms of the Term Sheets on or after the Agreement Effective Date; (ii) any material amendment to this Agreement and/or the Term Sheets on or after the effective date of such amendment; and (iii) any other information, including projections, anticipated to be included in the Disclosure Statement or provided to the Consenting Noteholders in connection with the Restructuring, to the extent that the failure to make such information public would result in any Consenting Noteholder, based upon the advice of such Noteholder’s counsel, being restricted (by contract, law, or otherwise) in buying or selling any of the Notes Claims.

c. Subject to the preceding clause 12.a. and the terms and conditions of the confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements between or among the Company, EIX, and the Consenting Noteholders and their legal and financial advisors, EIX may elect to publicly disclose (i) this Agreement (including exhibits hereto) and the material terms of the Term Sheets on or after the Agreement Effective Date, and (ii) any material amendment to this Agreement and/or the Term Sheets on or after the effective date of such amendment. Further, nothing in this Agreement shall limit or restrict the ability of EIX to disclose information that EIX has provided to the Company or the Consenting Noteholders or either of their legal and financial advisors.

13. Specific Performance.

It is understood and agreed by the Parties that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement by any Party and each non-breaching Party shall be entitled to seek specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief, including attorneys’ fees and costs, as a remedy of any such breach, and each Party agrees to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of a bond in connection with such remedy, in addition to any other remedy to which such non-breaching Party may be entitled, at law or in equity. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, and except as provided in the MRA and the MRA Agreements, the Parties agree that the remedy of specific performance shall be the sole and

exclusive remedy of the Parties under this Agreement in the event of a breach of this Agreement by another Party hereto.

14. Cooperation.

In addition to any obligations under this Agreement or the Term Sheets, the Company, on behalf of the Debtors, shall provide draft copies of all “first day” motions or applications and other documents the Debtors intend to file with the Bankruptcy Court to EIX and the professional advisors to the Consenting Noteholders before the date when the Debtors intend to file such document and shall consult in good faith with counsel regarding the form and substance of any such proposed filing with the Bankruptcy Court. The Shared Services Motion and Order (and related motions filed by the Debtors) shall be reasonably acceptable to EIX and the professional advisors to the Consenting Noteholders. In addition to any obligations under this Agreement or the Term Sheets, the Company, on behalf of the Debtors, shall use its reasonable commercial efforts to provide draft copies of all material pleadings they intend to file with the Bankruptcy Court or any material press releases or filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission to counsel to EIX and the professional advisors to the Consenting Noteholders within a reasonable time prior to filing or making public such documents and shall consult in good faith with such counsel regarding the form and substance of any such proposed filing or publication.

15. [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.]

16. Relationship Among Parties; Exculpation.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the duties and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement shall be several, not joint. It is understood and agreed that any Party may trade in Notes Claims or other claims against or securities of the Debtors without the consent of the Debtors or any other Party, subject to applicable securities laws and Section 6 above. No Party shall have any responsibility for any such trading by any other entity by virtue of this Agreement. No prior history, pattern or practice of sharing confidences among or between the Parties shall in any way affect or negate this understanding and agreement. No Party shall be liable for monetary or other damages to any other Party, or any other creditor or equity interest holder of the Debtors, arising out of the negotiations, execution and/or performance of this Agreement.

17. Entire Agreement; Prior Negotiations.

This Agreement, including Exhibits A, Exhibit B, and Exhibit C annexed hereto (inclusive of exhibits thereto), constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties and supersedes all prior agreements (oral or written), negotiations, and documents reflecting such prior negotiations between and among the Parties (and their respective advisors), with respect to the subject matter hereof.

18. Amendments.

Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement, the Term Sheets or any annexes thereto may not be modified, amended, or supplemented without prior written agreement signed

by (a) the Company; (b) EIX; and (c) the Required Consenting Noteholders, except that a modification, amendment, or supplement of the Restructuring Term Sheet that is not inconsistent with the Equity Term Sheet, to be determined in EIX’s reasonable discretion, shall not require the prior written agreement of EIX.

19. Independent Analysis.

Each Party hereby acknowledges and confirms that it has made its own decision to execute this Agreement based upon its own independent assessment of any documents and information available to it, as it deemed appropriate.

20. Further Assurances.

The Parties agree to execute and deliver such other instruments and perform such acts, in addition to the matters herein specified, as may be reasonably appropriate or necessary, from time to time, to effectuate the agreements and understandings of the Parties, whether the same occurs before or after the date of this Agreement.

21. Governing Law.

This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed in such state, without giving effect to the conflicts of law principles thereof (except for section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law). By its execution and delivery of this Agreement, each of the Parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees for itself that any legal action, suit, or proceeding against it with respect to any matter under or arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment rendered in any such action, suit, or proceeding, may be brought in either a state or federal court of competent jurisdiction in the State of New York. By execution and delivery of this Agreement, each of the Parties hereto hereby irrevocably accepts and submits itself to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of each such court, generally and unconditionally, with respect to any such action, suit, or proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing consent to jurisdiction in either a state or federal court of competent jurisdiction in the State of New York, upon the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, each of the Parties hereto hereby agrees that, if the petitions have been filed and the Chapter 11 Cases are pending, the Bankruptcy Court shall have exclusive jurisdiction of all matters arising out of or in connection with this Agreement.

22. Effective Date; Conditions to Effectiveness.

This Agreement shall become effective and binding upon each of the Parties at 12:01 a.m., prevailing Eastern Time, on the date on which all of the following conditions are satisfied (the “Agreement Effective Date”):

a. the Company, EIX, and the professional advisors to the Consenting Noteholders shall have received duly executed signature pages for this Agreement signed by the Company (on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries) and EIX (on behalf of itself and the EIX Subsidiaries); and

b. the Company and EIX shall have received duly executed signature pages for this Agreement from the Consenting Noteholders holding a majority in amount of the total indebtedness outstanding under the Indentures.

Upon the Agreement Effective Date, the Term Sheets shall be deemed effective for the purposes of this Agreement, and thereafter the terms and conditions therein may only be amended, modified, waived, or otherwise supplemented as set forth in Section 18 above.

23. No Solicitation.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Agreement is not and shall not be deemed to be (a) a solicitation of consents to the Plan or any chapter 11 plan or (b) an offer for the issuance, purchase, sale, exchange, hypothecation, or other transfer of securities or a solicitation of an offer to purchase or otherwise acquire securities for purposes of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, each as amended. The acceptance of the Noteholders will not be solicited until they, as applicable, have received the Disclosure Statement and related ballot, as approved by the Bankruptcy Court.

24. Third-Party Beneficiary.

This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the Parties hereto and no other person shall have any rights hereunder.

25. Several, Not Joint, Obligations.

Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, the agreements, representations, and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement are, in all respects, several and not joint.

26. Counterparts.

This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same agreement. Execution copies of this agreement may be delivered by electronic mail (in “.pdf” or “.tif” format), facsimile or otherwise, which shall be deemed to be an original for the purposes of this Agreement.

27. Headings.

The Section headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Agreement.

28. Settlement Discussions.

This Agreement and the Term Sheets are part of a proposed settlement of matters that could otherwise be the subject of litigation among the Parties hereto. Nothing herein shall be deemed an admission of any kind and this Agreement and the Terms Sheets shall not be treated as an admission of liability. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 408 and any applicable state rules of evidence, this Agreement and all communications and negotiations between and/or

among the Parties, their counsel, and/or their respective representatives relating to, concerning, or in connection with this Agreement, or the matters covered hereby and thereby, shall be protected to the fullest extent permitted by law and shall not be admissible into evidence in any proceeding other than a proceeding to enforce the terms of this Agreement.

29. No Waiver of Participation and Preservation of Rights.

Except as provided in this Agreement, nothing herein is intended to, does, or shall be deemed in any manner to waive, limit, impair, or restrict the ability of EIX and each of the Consenting Noteholders to protect and preserve its rights, remedies, and interests, including, but not limited to, its claims against any of the Debtors, any liens or security interests it may have in any assets of any of the Debtors, or its full participation in the Chapter 11 Cases. In particular, the economic arrangements and assumptions expressly or implicitly included in the Term Sheets, shall not be binding upon any Party or result in any Party’s waiver of any rights or defenses, except to the extent they are covenants under this Agreement, the Settlement Transaction, the Plan, or the Restructuring. Without limiting the foregoing sentence in any way, if this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms for any reason, the Parties each fully reserve any and all of their respective rights, remedies, and interests, subject to Section 13 above in the case of any claim for breach of this Agreement arising prior to termination.

30. Consideration.

The Parties hereby acknowledge that no consideration, other than that specifically described herein and in the Plan and the Term Sheets shall be due or paid to any Party for its agreement to vote to accept the Plan in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

EXHIBIT A

Equity Term Sheet

EDISON MISSION ENERGY

EQUITY TERM SHEET

DECEMBER 16, 2012

THIS TERM SHEET (THIS “TERM SHEET”) DESCRIBES CERTAIN MATERIAL TERMS OF A PROPOSED TRANSACTION (THE “TRANSACTION”) BETWEEN (A) EDISON INTERNATIONAL (“EIX”), FOR ITSELF AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES THAT DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY OWN EDISON MISSION ENERGY (THE “EIX SUBSIDIARIES”), (B) EDISON MISSION ENERGY (“EME”), FOR ITSELF AND CERTAIN OF ITS DOMESTIC SUBSIDIARIES (COLLECTIVELY WITH EME, THE “DEBTORS”), AND (C) CERTAIN HOLDERS OF EME’S SENIOR UNSECURED NOTES (COLLECTIVELY, THE “NOTEHOLDERS”). EIX SHALL MEAN EIX AND THE EIX SUBSIDIARIES UNLESS OTHERWISE INDICATED HEREIN.

THIS TERM SHEET SHALL NOT CONSTITUTE AN OFFER OR A LEGALLY BINDING OBLIGATION TO BUY OR SELL, NOR DOES IT CONSTITUTE A SOLICITATION OF AN OFFER TO BUY OR SELL, ANY OF THE SECURITIES REFERRED TO HEREIN. THIS TERM SHEET DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A SOLICITATION OF THE ACCEPTANCE OR REJECTION OF ANY PLAN OF REORGANIZATION FOR PURPOSES OF SECTIONS 1125 AND 1100 XX XXXXX 00 XX XXX XXXXXX XXXXXX XODE (THE “BANKRUPTCY CODE”).

Term

Description

Transaction Structure

· Before the date (the “Petition Date”) on which the Debtors commence cases under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) (such cases, the “Chapter 11 Cases”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois (the “Bankruptcy Court”) (a) EME (on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries), (b) EIX (on behalf of itself and the EIX Subsidiaries) and (c) the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes, shall each execute an agreement to support, pursue, and implement the Transaction as contemplated in this Term Sheet (the “Transaction Support Agreement”). In connection with entry into the Transaction Support Agreement, EIX shall consent to the entry of a mutually acceptable customary “first day equity trading order” regarding transfers of existing equity securities of EME.

· Within 150 days after the Petition Date, the Debtors will seek entry of a Bankruptcy Court order authorizing, pursuant to:

Term		Description

		(a) section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code and Rule 9019 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, the Debtors’ entry into a master restructuring agreement with EIX and holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes (together with the MRA Agreements (as defined below), the “MRA”), which shall provide for and include, among other things: (a) the Debtors’ entry into the MRA Agreements and (b) the releases described below under “Release” (the “Release”), which Release shall be contained (along with the other provisions of this Term Sheet) in the Debtors’ chapter 11 plan of reorganization (the “Plan”). The Debtors and Noteholders shall look solely to EIX (and not to subsidiaries of EIX that may perform some of the services or other EIX obligations covered by the MRA) for performance of the MRA, and EIX shall be responsible under the MRA for services or other EIX obligations that may be performed by such subsidiaries. The Release shall be approved and (except to the extent set forth under “Release”), effective upon entry of a final order as part of the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the MRA and shall be subject to revocation only during the period between approval of the Release and the earlier of (i) December 31, 2014 and (ii) the effective date (the “Effective Date”) of the Plan (such period, the “Interim Period”) after notice delivered within a reasonable time after discovery of such breach and an opportunity to cure, as set forth in the MRA, and the Bankruptcy Court determines after motion and a hearing that a party has failed to perform its obligations under the MRA during the Interim Period, including EIX making, or causing its subsidiaries to make, any and all payments due under the Tax Sharing Agreements (as defined herein) as required thereunder; provided, that, revocation of the Release during the Interim Period shall result in a termination of the parties’ respective obligations under this Term Sheet and the MRA, including, without limitation, a full and complete restoration of any and all claims otherwise released pursuant to the Release, and this Term Sheet, the MRA and the Release shall be void ab initio, and nothing herein shall thereafter impair or otherwise waive the rights of any party to assert such claims, including, and without prejudice to, any claims or causes of action waived or

Term		Description

		otherwise released or liabilities assumed in connection with the assumption of the Tax Sharing Agreements (as modified or amended by the MRA) and such claims, liabilities, or causes of action shall be restored to their prior status; and (b) section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors’ assumption of the Transaction Support Agreement and Tax Sharing Agreements. · If the MRA is not approved by a final order of the Bankruptcy Court, and the Transaction Support Agreement and Tax Sharing Agreements are not assumed by a final order of the Bankruptcy Court, in each case within 210 days after the Petition Date (the “Outside Date”), the Transaction Support Agreement and this Term Sheet shall terminate and no party shall have any obligations thereunder absent agreement by the parties to continue the Transaction Support Agreement. · The parties shall use their best efforts to negotiate and document the final form of the MRA and the following agreements related to the MRA, which shall be attached as exhibits to the MRA and approved as part of the MRA: (a) the Shared Services Agreement; (b) the Tax Settlement, Separation, and Administration Agreement, and (c) the Form of Assumption of Assumed Liabilities (as each is defined and described below) (collectively, the “MRA Agreements”), within 90 days after the Petition Date. The forms of the MRA and the MRA Agreements, which will be attached to the motion seeking approval of, among other things, entry into the MRA (the “Approval Motion”), will be subject to Bankruptcy Court, EME and EIX board and Noteholder approvals. EME shall use best efforts to provide EIX and the advisors to the Noteholders with the draft Approval Motion (and related exhibits) within 120 days after the Petition Date. · The MRA shall also provide that on the Effective Date, EIX’s equity interest in EME will be cancelled.

		· All consideration to be provided, and obligations undertaken, by EIX as part of the Transaction shall be conditioned on: (a) EME (on behalf of itself and its

Term		Description

		subsidiaries) and the Noteholders providing the Release on the terms set forth herein, (b) Bankruptcy Court approval of the Release, and (c) EME and the Noteholders performing and undertaking all actions and obligations contemplated under this Term Sheet. · All consideration to be provided, and obligations undertaken, by EME and its subsidiaries and the Noteholders as part of Transaction shall be conditional on EIX providing any consideration and performing any actions that they are required to provide or perform, as the case may be, under this Term Sheet.

Extension of Tax Sharing Agreements		· The MRA shall provide for the contemporaneous execution and approval of a Tax Settlement, Separation, and Administration Agreement (the “TSSAA”).

At the time of EME’s tax deconsolidation, each party to the Tax Sharing Agreements shall retain its respective remaining tax attributes as determined pursuant to federal income tax regulations and applicable state tax rules, with no party having any further liability to any other for the consequences of tax deconsolidation (such as, by way of example only, any gains, losses, or adjustments to basis resulting from or upon the cancellation of 100% of the EME stock), subject to the mutuality and tax audit provisions below. Subject to the limitations set forth in “Affiliate Rules” below and terms of a customary confidentiality agreement, EIX will provide EME and the Noteholders’ professional advisors (until the earlier of December 31, 2014 and the Effective Date) with reasonable access consistent with past practice to all tax returns, work papers, and other information for the tax years through December 31, 2014, and any other year in which EIX realizes a net tax benefit as a result of audit adjustments as described below, to the extent relevant to such benefit, used to calculate amounts due to or from EME under the Tax Sharing Agreements and the reasonable opportunity to verify such calculations.

Subject to the “No Guaranty” provision in this Term Sheet, EIX shall take no extraordinary actions for the purpose of depriving EME or the Noteholders of the benefits of the Tax Sharing Agreements.

		to prepare and file such returns. · The TSSAA shall provide that, if for any reason EME remains part of the EIX consolidated tax group in any year following termination of the Tax Sharing Agreements with respect to EME, then for taxable years commencing after such termination, (a) EME shall be liable for, and shall indemnify EIX and/or its subsidiaries against, any taxes with respect to EME and its subsidiaries, calculated as if EME is a stand-alone taxpayer, and (b) EIX shall not compensate EME for the EIX consolidated group’s use of, or benefit from, in each case in such taxable years commencing after such termination, tax attributes attributable to EME and its subsidiaries regardless of the year of origin of such tax attributes. For the avoidance of doubt, EME shall not be liable for any portion of the EIX group’s consolidated tax liability in excess of its stand-alone liability calculated in the manner described in the preceding sentence. In the event that termination of the Tax Sharing Agreements occurs prior to the Effective Date, then upon EME’s request, EME, EIX and the Noteholders will work cooperatively with one another to endeavor in good faith to take steps to cause a tax deconsolidation of EME through the divestiture or other disposition of 100% of the EME stock, together with termination of the Shared Services Agreement and assumption of the Assumed Liabilities, as soon as reasonably possible prior to the commencement of EME’s next tax year, subject in all instances to approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

In connection with its assumption of the Assumed Liabilities, on the Effective Date, EIX shall assign to EME any and all claims that are assertable against EME or its subsidiaries on account of the Assumed Liabilities (or otherwise) at no cost to and with no ongoing obligations to EIX, provided that no such assignment shall take place if it results in any liability, whether threatened, contingent or otherwise, to EIX (in which case EIX shall agree to release or not to assert such claims). “Assumed Liabilities” means any liability on account of: · pension liability for service of employees of EME and its subsidiaries as of the Effective Date; provided that EME may determine the retirement benefits for service of its employees after such date without cost to EIX and its subsidiaries; · executive pension and executive deferred compensation plan liabilities for retirees of EME and its subsidiaries under the executive pension and executive deferred compensation plans as of the Effective Date; and · post-retirement benefits other than pension (“PBOP”) liabilities to retirees and retiree eligible employees of EME and its subsidiaries, other than employees of EME Homer City Generation L.P., as of the Effective Date; provided, that EME may determine PBOP benefits for other employees without cost to EIX and its subsidiaries.

No Guaranty		Neither EIX nor any of its subsidiaries will guarantee or assure taxable income of the group or the recovery of tax benefits.

Tax Audit Liability		To the extent EIX realizes a net tax benefit as a result of audit adjustments relating to EME or any of its subsidiaries (and EME pays or otherwise satisfies any liabilities arising or resulting from such adjustments), EIX will pay such net tax benefit (but not in excess of the liability actually paid or otherwise satisfied by EME) to EME as and when such net tax benefit (including any additional benefits resulting from payment of such net tax benefit) is actually received (for example, as a reduction of estimated or other tax payments or receipt of a refund).

Control of Tax Audits		· Except as set forth below under Taupo Audit, EIX shall retain the taxpayer’s control of any audit or contest of any EME tax liability with respect to any period for which EME is included in any tax return as part of EIX’s consolidated group (excluding, however, any audit or contest pertaining to any separate returns of EME that does not involve EIX); provided that EIX shall agree to
