Edison International 2008 Executive Bonus Program

      On February 28, 2008, the Compensation and Executive Personnel Committee (the
"Committee") of the Board of Directors of Edison International, the parent holding company
of Southern California Edison Company ("SCE"), approved the Edison International 2008
Executive Bonus Program (the "2008 Bonus Program").  The following summary of the 2008
Bonus Program is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the 2008 Bonus
Program, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

      The 2008 Bonus Program creates a bonus pool having a maximum value equal to 1.5% of
Edison International's consolidated earnings from continuing operations during fiscal year
2008.  Certain SCE executive officers were granted performance-based awards under the 2008
Bonus Program having a maximum value equal to a fixed percentage of the bonus pool, if
any.  The maximum fixed percentage of the bonus pool allocated to each named executive
officer of SCE who participates in the 2008 Bonus Program is as follows:

      Name and Title                            Percentage of Bonus Pool

      John E. Bryson, Chairman of the Board,                    27%
      President and CEO of Edison International

      Alan J. Fohrer, Chairman of the Board and
      CEO of SCE                                                12%

      John R. Fielder, President of SCE                          7%

      The Committee will administer the 2008 Bonus Program, determine final bonus amounts,
and retains discretion to reduce (but not increase) the actual amount payable to any of
these officers from the maximum amount determined under the program.
