California Utilities—Technologies that could change the utilization of natural gas distribution and electric generation, transmission and distribution assets including

□
|
efficient battery storage technology, combined with

the expanded cost-effective utilization of distributed generation (e.g., rooftop solar and community solar projects).

Sempra U.S. Gas & Power
|
□
|
At Sempra Renewables, technological advances in distributed and local power generation and energy storage could reduce the demand for large-scale renewable electricity generation. Sempra Renewables’ power sales customers’ ability to perform under long-term agreements could be impacted by changes in utility rate structures and advances in distributed and local power generation.
|
□
|
At Sempra Natural Gas, technological advances in alternative fuels and other alternative energy sources could reduce the demand for natural gas.
|
□
|
At our LNG businesses, technologies that lower global natural gas and LNG consumption would have the greatest impact on the business. These technologies include cost effective batteries for renewable electricity generation, economic improvements to gas-to-liquids conversion processes, and advances associated with seabed or Arctic gas hydrate exploitation.

<YEAR>SEMPRA ENERGY
2013 LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
<YEAR> PERFORMANCE-BASED RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD
You have been granted a performance-based restricted stock unit award representing the right to receive the number of shares of Sempra Energy Common Stock set forth below, subject to the vesting conditions set forth below. The restricted stock units, and dividend equivalents with respect to the restricted stock units, under your award may not be sold or assigned and will be subject to forfeiture unless and until they vest based upon the satisfaction of total shareholder return performance criteria for a performance period beginning on <DATE>, <YEAR> and ending at the close of trading on <DATE> <YEAR>. Shares of Common Stock will be distributed to you after the completion of the performance period if the restricted stock units vest under the terms and conditions of your award. The terms and conditions of your award are set forth in the attached Year <YEAR> Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement and in the Sempra Energy 2013 Long Term Incentive Plan, which has been provided to you. The summary below highlights selected terms and conditions but it is not complete and you should carefully read the attachments to fully understand the terms and conditions of your award. | ||||||

Number of Restricted Stock Units (prior to any dividend equivalents): |
| |||||
At Target: | # RSU | |||||
At Maximum: | 200% of Target (e.g. 1,000 at Target = 2,000 at Maximum) | |||||
Award Date Fair Market Value per Share of Common Stock: | $TBD | |||||
Restricted Stock Units: | ||||||
Your restricted stock units represent the right to receive shares of Common Stock in the future, subject to the terms and conditions of your award. Your restricted stock units are not shares of Common Stock. The target number of restricted stock units will vest (subject to adjustment as described below), if the target total shareholder return (a return at the 50th percentile) is achieved. If above target total shareholder return is achieved, you may vest in up to the maximum number of restricted stock units plus reinvested dividends as described below. | ||||||
Vesting/Forfeiture of Restricted Stock Units: | ||||||
Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Year <YEAR> Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement, your restricted stock units will vest only upon and only to the extent that the Compensation Committee determines and certifies that Sempra Energy has met specified total shareholder return performance criteria for the performance period beginning on <DATE>, <YEAR> and ending at the close of trading on <DATE> <YEAR>. Any restricted stock units that do not vest upon the Compensation Committee's determination and certification will be forfeited. | ||||||
Transfer Restrictions: | ||||||
Your restricted stock units may not be sold or otherwise transferred and will remain subject to forfeiture conditions until they vest. | ||||||
Termination of Employment: | ||||||
Your restricted stock units also may be forfeited if your employment terminates. | ||||||
Dividend Equivalents: | ||||||
You also have been awarded dividend equivalents with respect to your restricted stock units. Your dividend equivalents represent the right to receive additional shares of Common Stock in the future, subject to the terms and conditions of your award. Your dividend equivalents will be determined based on the dividends that you would have received, had you held shares of Common Stock equal to the vested number of your restricted stock units from the date of your award to the date of the distribution of shares of Common Stock following the vesting of your restricted stock units, and assuming that the dividends were reinvested in Common Stock (and any dividends on such shares were reinvested in Common Stock). The dividends will be deemed reinvested in Common Stock in the same manner as dividends reinvested pursuant to the terms of the Sempra Dividend Reinvestment Plan. Your dividend equivalents will be subject to the same transfer restrictions and forfeiture and vesting conditions as the shares represented by your restricted stock units. | ||||||
Distribution of Shares: | ||||||
Shares of Common Stock will be distributed to you to the extent your restricted stock units vest. Except as provided otherwise in the attached Year <YEAR> Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement, the shares will be distributed to you after the completion of the performance period ending at the close of trading on <DATE> <YEAR> and the Compensation Committees determination and certification of Sempra Energys total shareholder return for the performance period. The shares of Common Stock will include the additional shares to be distributed pursuant to your dividend equivalents. | ||||||
Taxes: | ||||||
Upon distribution of shares of Common Stock to you, you will be subject to income taxes on the value of the distributed shares at the time of distribution and must pay applicable withholding taxes. | ||||||
By your acceptance of this award, you agree to all of the terms and conditions set forth in this Cover Page/Summary, the attached Year <YEAR> Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement and the Sempra Energy 2013 Long Term Incentive Plan. | ||||||

2013 LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
Year <YEAR> Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement
By your acceptance of this award, you agree
to all of the terms and conditions described above and in the 2013 Long Term Incentive Plan
Exhibit A
Examples Illustrating the Determination
of the Vested Percentage of the
Target Number of Restricted Stock Units
The following examples illustrate how the percentage of the target number of restricted stock units is to be determined. The examples assume that Sempra Energy achieves certain total cumulative shareholder returns for the performance period. The vested percentage of your target number of restricted stock units will be determined based on Sempra Energys actual cumulative total shareholder return for the performance period as measured at the end of the performance period. No assurance is given that Sempra Energy will achieve the cumulative total shareholder returns shown in the examples.
Example 1
Sempra Energys cumulative total shareholder return for the performance period among the companies (ranked by total shareholder returns) in the S&P 500 Utility Index, as determined and certified by the Compensation Committee, is at the 94th percentile. Sempra Energys cumulative total shareholder return for the performance period is <PERCENTAGE>.
Because Sempra Energys cumulative total cumulative shareholder return is above the 90th percentile, 200% of the target number of restricted stock units vest. This is the maximum number of restricted stock units under the award and no further award adjustment can be made even though Sempra Energys cumulative total shareholder return is above <PERCENTAGE>.
Example 2
Sempra Energys cumulative total shareholder return for the performance period among the companies (ranked by total shareholder returns) in the S&P 500 Utility Index, as determined and certified by the Compensation Committee, is at the 67th percentile and Sempra Energys cumulative total shareholder return for the performance period is <PERCENTAGE>.
The percentage of the target number of restricted stock units that vest is determined by a linear interpolation between the percentage based on the achievement of the 60th percentile (125%) and the percentage based on the achievement of the 70th percentile (150%).
Based on Sempra Energys cumulative total shareholder return relative to the S&P 500 Utilities Index and prior to consideration of the cumulative total shareholder return performance criteria,142.5% of the target number of restricted stock units would vest. Because Sempra Energys cumulative total shareholder return of <PERCENTAGE> is higher than <PERCENTAGE> (the trigger for the adjustment based on cumulative total shareholder return performance), the preliminary performance score is increased by 20% and the final performance score is 171%. [Calculation is 142.5% x 1.2 = 171%.]
Example 3
Sempra Energys cumulative total shareholder return for the performance period among the companies (ranked by total shareholder returns) in the S&P 500 Utility Index, as determined and certified by the Compensation Committee, is at the 45th percentile. Sempra Energys cumulative total shareholder return for the performance period is <PERCENTAGE>.
Sempra Energys cumulative total shareholder return for the performance period exceeds the total shareholder returns of the market capitalization-weighted S&P 500 Composite Index, as determined and certified by the Compensation Committee.
Because Sempra Energys cumulative total shareholder return is at the 45th percentile when ranked among the companies in the S&P 500 Utility Index, 75% of the target number of restricted stock units would vest (before taking into account Sempra Energys performance compared to the market capitalization-weighted S&P 500 Composite Index).
However, because Sempra Energys cumulative total shareholder return exceeds the total shareholder return of the market capitalization-weighted S&P 500 Composite Index, 100% of the target number of restricted stock units vest prior to consideration of the cumulative total shareholder return performance criteria. Because Sempra Energys cumulative total shareholder return of <PERCENTAGE> is less than <PERCENTAGE> (the trigger for the adjustment based on cumulative total shareholder return performance), the preliminary performance score is decreased by 20% and the final performance score is 80%. [Calculation is 100% x 0.80 = 80%.]
Example 4
Sempra Energys cumulative total shareholder return for the performance period among the companies (ranked by total shareholder returns) in the S&P 500 Utility Index, as determined and certified by the Compensation Committee, is at the 30th percentile. Sempra Energys cumulative total shareholder return for the performance period is <PERCENTAGE>.
Also, Sempra Energys total shareholder return for the performance period is below the total shareholder return of the market capitalization-weighted S&P 500 Composite Index.
Because Sempra Energys total shareholder return for the performance period among companies in the S&P 500 Utility Index is at the 30th percentile, none of the target number of restricted stock units vest. Because no shares vest, there is no need to determine whether any adjustment applies based on cumulative total shareholder return.

Year <YEAR> Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement
Leaves of Absence | Your employment does not terminate when you go on military leave, a sick leave or another bona fide leave of absence, if the leave was approved by your employer in writing. But your employment will be treated as terminating 90 days after you went on leave, unless your right to return to active work is guaranteed by law or by a contract. And your employment terminates in any event when the approved leave ends, unless you immediately return to active work. Your employer determines which leaves count for this purpose. |
Taxes: |
|
Withholding Taxes | When you become subject to withholding taxes upon distribution of the shares of Common Stock or otherwise, Sempra Energy or its Subsidiary is required to withhold taxes. Unless you instruct otherwise and pay or make arrangements satisfactory to Sempra Energy to pay these taxes, upon the distribution of your shares, Sempra Energy will withhold a sufficient number of shares of common stock or restricted stock units (valued in each case at the distribution date fair market value) to cover the minimum required withholding taxes and transfer to you only the remaining balance of your shares. In the event that, following a Change in Control, your restricted stock units become eligible for a distribution upon your Retirement by reason of your combined age and service, your restricted stock units may become subject to employment tax withholding prior to the distribution of shares with respect to such units. |
Code Section 409A | Your restricted stock units are subject to Sections 16.5 and 20.12 of the 2013 Long Term Incentive Plan, which set forth terms to comply with Code Section 409A. |
Recoupment (Clawback) Policy: | The Company shall require the forfeiture, recovery or reimbursement of awards or compensation under this Plan as (i) required by applicable law, or (ii) required under any policy implemented or maintained by the Company pursuant to any applicable rules or requirements of a national securities exchange or national securities association on which any securities of the Company are listed. The Company reserves the right to recoup compensation paid if it determines that the results on which the compensation was paid were not actually achieved. The Compensation Committee may, in its sole discretion, require the recovery or reimbursement of long-term incentive compensation awards from any employee whose fraudulent or intentional misconduct materially affects the operations or financial results of the Company or its Subsidiaries. |
Retention Rights: | Neither your restricted stock unit award nor this Agreement gives you any right to be retained by Sempra Energy or any of its Subsidiaries in any capacity and your employer reserves the right to terminate your employment at any time, with or without cause. The value of your award will not be included as compensation or earnings for purposes of any other benefit plan offered by Sempra Energy or any of its Subsidiaries. |
Change in Control: | In the event of a Change in Control, the following terms shall apply: § If (i) you have achieved age 55 and have completed at least five years of continuous service with Sempra Energy and its Subsidiaries as of the date of a Change in Control and your restricted stock units have not been forfeited prior to the Change in Control, (ii) your outstanding restricted stock units as of the date of a Change in Control are not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture within the meaning of Code Section 409A and/or (iii) your outstanding restricted stock units are not assumed or substituted with one or more Replacement Awards as contemplated in Section 16.1 of the 2013 Long Term Incentive Plan, then in each case your outstanding restricted stock units and any associated dividend equivalents will vest immediately prior to the Change in Control with the applicable performance goals deemed to have been achieved at the greater of target level as of the date of such vesting or the actual performance level had the performance period ended on the last day of the calendar year immediately preceding the date of the Change in Control. If the foregoing terms apply, immediately prior to the date of the Change in Control you will receive a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of your restricted stock units and dividend equivalents that have vested. § If your outstanding restricted stock awards are assumed or substituted with one or more Replacement Awards as contemplated in Section 16.1 of the 2013 Long Term Incentive Plan, then, except as provided otherwise in an individual severance agreement or employment agreement to which you are a party, the terms set forth in Sections 16.3 and 16.4 of the 2013 Long Term Incentive Plan shall apply with respect to such Replacement Award following the Change in Control. If the foregoing terms apply and the Replacement Award vests upon your separation from service or death, on such date, you will receive a number of shares or other property in settlement of the Replacement Awards. |
Further Actions: | You agree to take all actions and execute all documents appropriate to carry out the provisions of this Agreement. You shall not be deemed to have accepted this award unless you execute the Arbitration Agreement provided with your award letter. You also appoint as your attorney-in-fact each individual who at the time of so acting is the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of Sempra Energy with full authority to effect any transfer of any shares of Common Stock distributable to you, including any transfer to pay withholding taxes, that is authorized by this Agreement. |
Applicable Law: | This Agreement will be interpreted and enforced under the laws of the State of California. |
Disputes: | Any and all disputes between you and the Company relating to or arising out of the Plan or your restricted stock unit award shall be subject to the Arbitration Agreement provided with your award letter, including, but not limited to, any disputes referenced in Section 16.4 of the Plan. |
Other Agreements: | In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and any written employment, severance or other employment-related agreement between you and Sempra Energy, the terms of this Agreement, or the terms of such other agreement, whichever are more favorable to you, shall prevail, provided that in each case a conflict shall be resolved in a manner consistent with the intent that your restricted stock units comply with Code Section 409A. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the 2013 Long Term Incentive Plan, the plan document shall prevail. |

Restricted Stock Units: | ||||||
Your restricted stock units represent the right to receive shares of Common Stock in the future, subject to the terms and conditions of your award. Your restricted stock units are not shares of Common Stock. Your restricted stock units will vest (as described below), if and when both the cumulative net income performance measure (as defined in the attached Year 2015 Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement) and commencement of commercial operations of Cameron LNG Train 1 are achieved. | ||||||
Vesting/Forfeiture of Restricted Stock Units: | ||||||
Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Year 2015 Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement, your restricted stock units will vest only upon the Compensation Committees determination and certification that Sempra Energy has achieved positive cumulative net income (to be determined in accordance with GAAP) for the performance period beginning on January 1, 2015 and ending December 31, 2017 and the Cameron LNG joint venture has commenced commercial operations of Cameron LNG Train 1.

You also have been awarded dividend equivalents with respect to your restricted stock units. Your dividend equivalents represent the right to receive additional shares of Common Stock in the future, subject to the terms and conditions of your award. Your dividend equivalents will be determined based on the dividends that you would have received, had you held shares of Common Stock equal to the vested number of your restricted stock units from the date of your award to the date of the distribution of shares of Common Stock following the vesting of your restricted stock units, and assuming that the dividends were reinvested in Common Stock (and any dividends on such shares were reinvested in Common Stock).

Your dividend equivalents will be subject to the same transfer restrictions and forfeiture and vesting conditions as the shares represented by your restricted stock units. | ||||||
Distribution of Shares: | ||||||
Shares of Common Stock will be distributed to you to the extent your restricted stock units vest.

(The amounts specified in clauses (A), (B), (C), (D) and (E) shall be hereinafter referred to as the Post-Change in Control Accrued Obligations).
(b)
Pension Supplement. The Executive shall be entitled to receive a Supplemental Retirement Benefit under the Sempra Energy Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, as in effect from time to time (SERP), determined in accordance with this Section 6(b), in the event that the Executive is a Participant (as defined in the SERP) as of the Date of Termination. Such Supplemental Retirement Benefit shall be determined by crediting the Executive with additional months of Service (if any) equal to the number of full calendar months from the Date of Termination to the date on which the Executive would have attained age 62. The Executive shall be entitled to receive such Supplemental Retirement Benefit without regard to whether the Executive has attained age 55 or completed five years of Service (as defined in the SERP) as of the Date of Termination. The Executive shall be treated as qualified for Retirement (as defined in the SERP) as of the Date of Termination, and the Executives Vesting Factor with respect to the Supplemental Retirement Benefit shall be 100%. The Executives Supplemental Retirement Benefit shall be calculated based on the Executives actual age as of the date of commencement of payment of such Supplemental Retirement Benefit (the SERP Distribution Date), and by applying the applicable early retirement factors under the SERP, if the Executive has not attained age 62 but has attained age 55 as of the SERP Distribution Date. If the Executive has not attained age 55 as of the SERP Distribution Date, the Executives Supplemental Retirement Benefit shall be calculated by applying the applicable early retirement factor under the SERP for age 55, and the Supplemental Retirement Benefit otherwise payable at age 55 shall be actuarially adjusted to the Executives actual age as of the SERP Distribution Date using the following actuarial assumptions: (i) the applicable mortality table promulgated by the Internal Revenue Service under Section 417(e)(3) of the Code, as in effect on the first day of the calendar year in which the SERP Distribution Date occurs, and (ii) the applicable interest rate promulgated by the Internal Revenue Service under Section 417(a)(3) of the Code for the November next preceding the first day of the calendar year in which the SERP Distribution Date occurs. The Executives Supplemental Retirement Benefit shall be determined in accordance with this Section 6(b), notwithstanding any contrary provisions of the SERP and, to the extent subject to Section 409A of the Code, shall be paid in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(c)(1). The Supplemental Retirement Benefit paid to or on behalf of the Executive in accordance with this Section 6(b) shall be in full satisfaction of any and all of the benefits payable to or on behalf of the Executive under the SERP.
(c)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive shall cease to receive outplacement services on the date the Executive accepts employment with a subsequent employer.

(g)
Involuntary Termination in Connection with a Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, in the event of an Involuntary Termination prior to a Change in Control, if the Involuntary Termination (1) was at the request of a third party who has taken steps reasonably calculated to effect such Change in Control or (2) otherwise arose in connection with or in anticipation of such Change in Control, then the Executive shall, in lieu of the payments described in Section 5 hereof, be entitled to the Post-Change in Control Severance Payment and the additional benefits described in this Section 6 as if such Involuntary Termination had occurred within two (2) years following the Change in Control. The amounts specified in Section 6 that are to be paid under this Section 6(g) shall be reduced by any amount previously paid under Section 5. The amounts to be paid under this Section 6(g) shall be paid within thirty (30) days after the Change in Control Date of such Change in Control.
(h)
Deferral of Payments. The Executive shall have the right to elect to defer the Post-Change in Control Severance Payment to be received by the Executive pursuant to this Section 6 under the terms and conditions of the Deferred Compensation Plan.

Section 7.
Severance Benefits upon Termination by the Company for Cause or by the Executive Other than for Good Reason.

Section 8.
Severance Benefits upon Termination due to Death or Disability. If the Executive has a Separation from Service by reason of death or Disability, the Company shall pay the Executive or his estate, as the case may be, the Post-Change in Control Accrued Obligations (without regard to whether a Change in Control has occurred) and any amounts or benefits described in Section 11 hereof. Such payments shall be in addition to those rights and benefits to which the Executive or his estate may be entitled under the relevant Company plans or programs. Such payments shall be paid on such date as determined by the Company within thirty (30) days after the date of the Separation from Service; provided, however, that if the Executive is a Specified Employee on the date of the Executives Separation from Service by reason of Disability, the Additional Post-Change in Control Severance Payment under Section 6(a)(E) shall be paid as provided in Section 10 hereof.
Section 9.
Certain Additional Payments by the Company.
(a)
Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding and except as set forth below, in the event it shall be determined that any payment or distribution in the nature of compensation (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code) to or for the benefit of the Executive, whether paid or payable pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise (the Payment) would be subject (in whole or in part) to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, together with any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such excise tax (collectively, the Excise Tax), then the Executive shall be entitled to receive an additional payment (the Gross-Up Payment) in an amount such that, after payment by the Executive of all taxes (and any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including, without limitation, any income taxes (and any interest and penalties imposed with respect thereto) and Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, the Executive retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payment. Unless otherwise provided herein, the Companys obligation to make Gross-Up Payments under this Section 9 shall not be conditioned upon the Executives Separation from Service. For purposes of determining the amount of any Gross-Up Payment, the Executive shall be considered to pay federal income tax at the Executives actual marginal rate of federal income taxation in the calendar year in which the Gross-Up Payment is to be made and state and local income taxes at the Executives actual marginal rate of taxation in the state and locality of the Executives residence on the date on which the Gross-Up Payment is calculated for purposes of this Section 9, net of the Executives actual reduction in federal income taxes which could be obtained from deduction of such state and local taxes, and taking into consideration the phase-out of the Executives itemized deductions under federal income tax law.
(b)
Subject to the provisions of Section 9(c) below, all determinations required to be made under this Section 9, including whether and when a Gross-Up Payment is required, the amount of such Gross-Up Payment and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determination, shall be made by a nationally recognized accounting firm as may be agreed by the Company and the Executive (the Accounting Firm); provided, that the Accounting Firms determination shall be made based upon substantial authority within the meaning of Section 6662 of the Code. The Accounting Firm shall provide detailed supporting calculations to both the Company and the Executive within fifteen (15) business days of the receipt of notice from the Executive that there has been a Payment or such earlier time as is requested by the Company. All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company. Any Gross-Up Payment, as determined pursuant to this Section 9, shall be paid by the Company to the Executive within five (5) days of the receipt of the Accounting Firms determination. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Executive. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments that will not have been made by the Company should have been made (the Underpayment), consistent with the calculations required to be made hereunder. In the event the Company exhausts its remedies pursuant to Section 9(c) below and the Executive thereafter is required to make a payment of any Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of the Underpayment that has occurred, and any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Company to or for the benefit of the Executive.
(c)
The Executive shall notify the Company in writing of any claim by the Internal Revenue Service that, if successful, would require the payment by the Company of the Gross-Up Payment. Such notification shall be given as soon as practicable, but no later than ten (10) business days after the Executive is informed in writing of such claim. The Executive shall apprise the Company of the nature of such claim and the date on which such claim is requested to be paid. The Executive shall not pay such claim prior to the expiration of the thirty (30) day period following the date on which the Executive gives such notice to the Company (or such shorter period ending on the date that any payment of taxes with respect to such claim is due). If the Company notifies the Executive in writing prior to the expiration of such period that the Company desires to contest such claim, the Executive shall:
(i)
give the Company any information reasonably requested by the Company relating to such claim,
(ii)
take such action in connection with contesting such claim as the Company shall reasonably request in writing from time to time, including, without limitation, accepting legal representation with respect to such claim by an attorney reasonably selected by the Company,
(iii)
cooperate with the Company in good faith in order effectively to contest such claim, and
(iv)
permit the Company to participate in any proceedings relating to such claim;
provided, however, that the Company shall bear and pay directly all costs and expenses (including additional interest and penalties) incurred in connection with such contest, and shall indemnify and hold the Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax, income tax or any other taxes (including interest and penalties) imposed as a result of such representation and payment of costs and expenses. Without limitation on the foregoing provisions of this Section 9(c), the Company shall control all proceedings taken in connection with such contest, and, at its sole discretion, may pursue or forgo any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with the applicable taxing authority in respect of such claim and may, at its sole discretion, either direct the Executive to pay the tax claimed and sue for a refund or contest the claim in any permissible manner, and the Executive agrees to prosecute such contest to a determination before any administrative tribunal, in a court of initial jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts, as the Company shall determine; provided, however, that if the Company directs the Executive to pay such claim and sue for a refund, the Company shall advance the amount of such payment to the Executive, on an interest-free basis, and shall indemnify and hold the Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, from any Excise Tax, income tax or any other taxes (including interest or penalties) imposed with respect to such advance or with respect to any imputed income in connection with such advance; and provided, further, that any extension of the statute of limitations relating to payment of taxes for the taxable year of the Executive with respect to which such contested amount is claimed to be due is limited solely to such contested amount. Furthermore, the Companys control of the contest shall be limited to issues with respect to which the Gross-Up Payment would be payable hereunder, and the Executive shall be entitled to settle or contest, as the case may be, any other issue raised by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority.
(d)
If, after the receipt by the Executive of a Gross-Up Payment or an amount advanced by the Company pursuant to Section 9(c) above, the Executive becomes entitled to receive any refund with respect to the Excise Tax to which such Gross-Up Payment relates or with respect to such claim, the Executive shall (subject to the Companys complying with the requirements of Section 9(c) above, if applicable) promptly pay to the Company the amount of such refund (together with any interest paid or credited thereon after taxes applicable thereto). If, after the receipt by the Executive of an amount advanced by the Company pursuant to Section 9(c) above, a determination is made that the Executive shall not be entitled to any refund with respect to such claim and the Company does not notify the Executive in writing of its intent to contest such denial of refund prior to the expiration of thirty (30) days after such determination, then such advance shall be forgiven and shall not be required to be repaid, and the amount of such advance shall offset, to the extent thereof, the amount of Gross-Up Payment required to be paid.
(e)
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 9, the Company may, in its sole discretion, withhold and pay over to the Internal Revenue Service or any other applicable taxing authority, for the benefit of the Executive, all or any portion of any Gross-Up Payment, and the Executive hereby consents to such withholding. If such payment is made by the Company to the Internal Revenue Service or other applicable taxing authority, then the Executive shall not be entitled to payment pursuant to Section 9(b) above.
(f)
Any other liability for unpaid or unwithheld Excise Taxes shall be borne exclusively by the Company, in accordance with Section 3403 of the Code. The foregoing sentence shall not in any manner relieve the Company of any of its obligations under this Agreement.
(g)
Any Gross-Up Payment and any payment of any income or other taxes and any related interest and penalties to be paid by the Company under this Section 9 shall be made by the end of the Executives taxable year next following the Executives taxable year in which the Executive remits the related taxes. Any costs and expenses incurred by the Company on behalf of the Executive under this Section 9 due to any tax contest, audit or litigation will be paid by the Company by the end of the Executives taxable year following the Executives taxable year in which the taxes that are the subject of the tax contest, audit or litigation are remitted to the taxing authority, or where as a result of such tax contest, audit or litigation no taxes are remitted, the end of the Executives taxable year following the Executives taxable year in which the audit is completed or there is a final and nonappealable settlement or other resolution of the contest or litigation. All Gross-Up Payments shall be paid in a manner that complies with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-(3)(i)(1)(v). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9, in no event shall any Gross-Up Payment exceed the amount of the tax gross-up payment on any Payment permitted under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(v), and interest and penalties with respect to the Gross-Up Payment or that are incurred by the Company on the Executives behalf under this Section 9 shall be paid to the Executive only to the extent permitted under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(v). To the extent required by Section 409A of the Code or the Treasury Regulations thereunder, any Gross-Up Payment is made with respect to any Section 409A Payment, such Gross-Up Payment shall be payable only upon the Executives Separation from Service and subject to Section 10.
Section 10.
Delayed Distribution under Section 409A of the Code. If the Executive is a Specified Employee on the date of the Executives Involuntary Termination (or on the date of the Executives Separation from Service by reason of Disability), the Section 409A Payments, and to the extent required by Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, any Gross-Up Payments made with respect to such Section 409A Payments, and any other payments or benefits under this Agreement subject to Section 409A of the Code, shall be delayed in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, and such payments or benefits shall be paid or distributed to the Executive during the thirty (30) day period commencing on the earlier of (a) the expiration of the six-month period measured from the date of the Executives Separation from Service or (b) the date of the Executives death. Upon the expiration of the applicable six-month period under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, all payments deferred pursuant to this Section 10 (excluding in-kind benefits) shall be paid in a lump sum payment to the Executive, plus interest thereon from the date of the Executives Involuntary Termination through the payment date at an annual rate equal to Moodys Rate. The Moodys Rate shall mean the average of the daily Moodys Corporate Bond Yield Average Monthly Average Corporates as published by Moodys Investors Service, Inc. (or any successor) for the month next preceding the Date of Termination. Any remaining payments due under the Agreement shall be paid as otherwise provided herein.
Section 11.
Nonexclusivity of Rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit the Executives continuing or future participation in any benefit, plan, program, policy or practice provided by the Company and for which the Executive may qualify (except with respect to any benefit to which the Executive has waived his rights in writing), including, without limitation, any and all indemnification arrangements in favor of the Executive (whether under agreements or under the Companys charter documents or otherwise), and insurance policies covering the Executive, nor shall anything herein limit or otherwise affect such rights as the Executive may have under any other contract or agreement entered into after the Effective Date with the Company. Amounts which are vested benefits or which the Executive is otherwise entitled to receive under any benefit, plan, policy, practice or program of, or any contract or agreement entered into with, the Company shall be payable in accordance with such benefit, plan, policy, practice or program or contract or agreement except as explicitly modified by this Agreement. At all times during the Executives employment with the Company and thereafter, the Company shall provide (to the extent permissible under applicable law) the Executive with indemnification and D&O insurance insuring the Executive against insurable events which occur or have occurred while the Executive was a director or the Executive officer of the Company, on terms and conditions that are at least as generous as that then provided to any other current or former director or the Executive officer of the Company or any Affiliate. Such indemnification and D&O insurance shall be provided in a manner that complies with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(10).
Section 12.
Full Settlement; Mitigation. The Companys obligation to make the payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other claim, right or action which the Company may have against the Executive or others, provided that nothing herein shall preclude the Company from separately pursuing recovery from the Executive based on any such claim. In no event shall the Executive be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts (including amounts for damages for breach) payable to the Executive under any of the provisions of this Agreement, and such amounts shall not be reduced whether or not the Executive obtains other employment.
Section 13.
Dispute Resolution.
Any disagreement, dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the interpretation of this Agreement or any arrangements relating to this Agreement or contemplated in this Agreement or the breach, termination or invalidity thereof shall be settled by final and binding arbitration administered by JAMS in San Diego, California in accordance with the then existing JAMS arbitration rules applicable to employment disputes (the JAMS Rules); provided that, notwithstanding any provision in such rules to the contrary, in all cases the parties shall be entitled to reasonable discovery. In the event of such an arbitration proceeding, the Executive and the Company shall select a mutually acceptable neutral arbitrator from among the JAMS panel of arbitrators. In the event the Executive and the Company cannot agree on an arbitrator, the arbitrator shall be selected in accordance with the then existing JAMS Rules. Neither the Executive nor the Company nor the arbitrator shall disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of all parties, except to the extent necessary to enforce any arbitration award in a court of competent jurisdiction. Except as provided herein, the Federal Arbitration Act shall govern the interpretation of, enforcement of and all proceedings under this agreement to arbitrate. The arbitrator shall apply the substantive law (and the law of remedies, if applicable) of the state of California, or federal law, or both, as applicable, and the arbitrator is without jurisdiction to apply any different substantive law. The arbitrator shall have the authority to entertain a motion to dismiss and/or a motion for summary judgment by any party and shall apply the standards governing such motions under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The arbitrator shall render an award and a written, reasoned opinion in support thereof. Judgment upon the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The Executive shall not be required to pay any arbitration fee or cost that is unique to arbitration or greater than any amount he would be required to pay to pursue his claims in a court of competent jurisdiction.
Section 14.
Executives Covenants.
(a)
Confidentiality. The Executive acknowledges that in the course of his employment with the Company, he has acquired non-public privileged or confidential information and trade secrets concerning the operations, future plans and methods of doing business (Proprietary Information) of the Company and its Affiliates; and the Executive agrees that it would be extremely damaging to the Company and its Affiliates if such Proprietary Information were disclosed to a competitor of the Company and its Affiliates or to any other person or corporation. The Executive understands and agrees that all Proprietary Information has been divulged to the Executive in confidence and further understands and agrees to keep all Proprietary Information secret and confidential (except for such information which is or becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach by the Executive of this provision or information the Executive is required by any governmental, administrative or court order to disclose) without limitation in time. In view of the nature of the Executives employment and the Proprietary Information the Executive has acquired during the course of such employment, the Executive likewise agrees that the Company and its Affiliates would be irreparably harmed by any disclosure of Proprietary Information in violation of the terms of this paragraph and that the Company and its Affiliates shall therefore be entitled to preliminary and/or permanent injunctive relief prohibiting the Executive from engaging in any activity or threatened activity in violation of the terms of this paragraph and to any other relief available to them. Inquiries regarding whether specific information constitutes Proprietary Information shall be directed to the Companys Senior Vice President, Public Policy (or, if such position is vacant, the Companys then Chief Executive Officer); provided, that the Company shall not unreasonably classify information as Proprietary Information.
(b)
Non-Solicitation of Employees. The Executive recognizes that he possesses and will possess confidential information about other employees of the Company and its Affiliates relating to their education, experience, skills, abilities, compensation and benefits, and inter-personal relationships with customers of the Company and its Affiliates. The Executive recognizes that the information he possesses and will possess about these other employees is not generally known, is of substantial value to the Company and its Affiliates in developing their business and in securing and retaining customers, and has been and will be acquired by him because of his business position with the Company and its Affiliates. The Executive agrees that at all times during the Executives employment with the Company and for a period of one (1) year thereafter, he will not, directly or indirectly, solicit or recruit any employee of the Company or its Affiliates for the purpose of being employed by him or by any competitor of the Company or its Affiliates on whose behalf he is acting as an agent, representative or employee and that he will not convey any such confidential information or trade secrets about other employees of the Company and its Affiliates to any other person; provided, however, that it shall not constitute a solicitation or recruitment of employment in violation of this paragraph to discuss employment opportunities with any employee of the Company or its Affiliates who has either first contacted the Executive or regarding whose employment the Executive has discussed with and received the written approval of the Companys Vice President, Human Resources (or, if such position is vacant, the Companys then Chief Executive Officer), prior to making such solicitation or recruitment. In view of the nature of the Executives employment with the Company, the Executive likewise agrees that the Company and its Affiliates would be irreparably harmed by any solicitation or recruitment in violation of the terms of this paragraph and that the Company and its Affiliates shall therefore be entitled to preliminary and/or permanent injunctive relief prohibiting the Executive from engaging in any activity or threatened activity in violation of the terms of this paragraph and to any other relief available to them.
(c)
Survival of Provisions. The obligations contained in Section 14(a) and Section 14(b) above shall survive the termination of the Executives employment within the Company and shall be fully enforceable thereafter. If it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in any state that any restriction in Section 14(a) or Section 14(b) above is excessive in duration or scope or is unreasonable or unenforceable under the laws of that state, it is the intention of the parties that such restriction may be modified or amended by the court to render it enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by the law of that state.
(d)
Release; Lump Sum Payment. In the event of the Executives Involuntary Termination, if the Executive (i) agrees to the covenants described in Section 14(a) and Section 14(b) above, (ii) executes a release (the Release) of all claims substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A within fifty (50) days after the date of Involuntary Termination and does not revoke such Release in accordance with the terms thereof, and (iii) agrees to provide the consulting services described in Section 14(e) below, then in consideration for such covenants, the Company shall pay the Executive, in one cash lump sum, an amount (the Consulting Payment) in cash equal to the greater of: (X) 170% of the Executives Annual Base Salary as in effect on the Date of Termination, and (Y) the Executives Annual Base Salary as in effect on the Date of Termination, plus the Executives Average Annual Bonus. Except as provided in this subsection, the Consulting Payment shall be paid on such date as is determined by the Company within the ten (10) day period commencing on the 60th day after the date of the Executives Involuntary Termination; provided, however, that if the Executive is a Specified Employee on the date of the Executives Involuntary Termination, the Consulting Payment shall be paid as provided in Section 10 hereof. The Executive shall have the right to elect to defer the Consulting Payment under the terms and conditions of the Companys Deferred Compensation Plan. Any such deferral election shall be made in accordance with Section 18(b) hereof.
(e)
Consulting. If the Executive agrees to the covenants described in Section 14(d) above, then the Executive shall have the obligation to provide consulting services to the Company as an independent contractor, commencing on the Date of Termination and ending on the second anniversary of the Date of Termination (the Consulting Period). The Executive shall hold himself available at reasonable times and on reasonable notice to render such consulting services as may be so assigned to him by the Board or the Companys then Chief Executive Officer; provided, however, that unless the parties otherwise agree, the consulting services rendered by the Executive during the Consulting Period shall not exceed twenty (20) hours each month; and, provided, further, that the consulting services rendered by the Executive during the Consulting Period shall in no event exceed twenty percent (20%) of the average level of services performed by the Executive for the Company over the thirty-six (36) month period immediately preceding the Executives Separation from Service (or the full period of services to the Company, if the Executive has been providing services to the Company for less than thirty-six (36) months). The Company agrees to use its best efforts during the Consulting Period to secure the benefit of the Executives consulting services so as to minimize the interference with the Executives other activities, including requiring the performance of consulting services at the Companys offices only when such services may not be reasonably performed off-site by the Executive.
Section 15.
Legal Fees.
(a)
Reimbursement of Legal Fees. Subject to subsection (b), in the event of the Executives Separation from Service either (1) prior to a Change in Control, or (2) on or within two (2) years following a Change in Control, the Company shall reimburse the Executive for all legal fees and expenses (including but not limited to fees and expenses in connection with any arbitration) incurred by the Executive in disputing any issue arising under this Agreement relating to the Executives Separation from Service or in seeking to obtain or enforce any benefit or right provided by this Agreement.
(b)
Requirements for Reimbursement. The Company shall reimburse the Executives legal fees and expenses pursuant to subsection (a) above only to the extent the arbitrator or court determines the following: (i) the Executive disputed such issue, or sought to obtain or enforce such benefit or right, in good faith, (ii) the Executive had a reasonable basis for such claim, and (iii) in the case of subsection (a)(1) above, the Executive is the prevailing party. In addition, the Company shall reimburse such legal fees and expenses, only if such legal fees and expenses are incurred during the twenty (20) year period beginning on the date of the Executives Separation from Service. The legal fees and expenses paid to the Executive for any taxable year of the Executive shall not affect the legal fees and expenses paid to the Executive for any other taxable year of the Executive. The legal fees and expenses shall be paid to the Executive on or before the last day of the Executives taxable year following the taxable year in which the fees or expenses are incurred. The Executives right to reimbursement of legal fees and expenses shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for any other benefit. Such right to reimbursement of legal fees and expenses shall be provided in a manner that complies with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv). If the Executive is a Specified Employee on the date of the Executives Separation from Service, such right to reimbursement of legal fees and expenses shall be paid as provided in Section 10 hereof.
Section 16.
Successors.
(a)
Assignment by the Executive. This Agreement is personal to the Executive and without the prior written consent of Sempra Energy shall not be assignable by the Executive otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executives legal representatives.
(b)
Successors and Assigns of Sempra Energy. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon Sempra Energy, its successors and assigns. Sempra Energy may not assign this Agreement to any person or entity (except for a successor described in Section 16(c), (d) or (e) below) without the Executives written consent.
(c)
Assumption. Sempra Energy shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of Sempra Energy to assume expressly and agree to perform the obligations and satisfy and discharge the liabilities of this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that Sempra Energy would have been required to perform the obligations and satisfy and discharge the liabilities under this Agreement if no such succession had taken place, and Sempra Energy shall have no further obligations and liabilities under this Agreement. Upon such assumption, references to Sempra Energy in this Agreement shall be replaced with references to such successor.
(d)
Sale of Subsidiary. In the event that (i) the Executive is employed by a direct or indirect subsidiary of Sempra Energy that is a member of the Sempra Energy Control Group, (ii) Sempra Energy, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, sells or otherwise disposes of such subsidiary, and (iii) such subsidiary ceases to be a member of the Sempra Energy Control Group, then if, on the date such subsidiary ceases to be a member of the Sempra Energy Control Group, the Executive continues in employment with such subsidiary and the Executive does not have a Separation from Service, Sempra Energy shall require such subsidiary or any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase merger, consolidation or otherwise) to such subsidiary, or the parent thereof, to assume expressly and agree to perform the obligations and satisfy and discharge the liabilities under this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that Sempra Energy would have been required to perform the obligations and satisfy and discharge the liabilities under this Agreement, if such subsidiary had not ceased to be part of the Sempra Energy Control Group, and, upon such assumption, Sempra Energy shall have no further obligations and liabilities under the Agreement. Upon such assumption, (i) references to Sempra Energy in this Agreement shall be replaced with references to such subsidiary, or such successor or parent thereof, assuming this Agreement, and (ii) subsection (b) of the definition of Cause and subsection (b) of the definition of Good Reason shall apply thereafter, as if a Change in Control had occurred on the date of such cessation.
(e)
Sale of Assets of Subsidiary. In the event that (i) the Executive is employed by a direct or indirect subsidiary of Sempra Energy, and (ii) such subsidiary sells or otherwise disposes of substantial assets of such subsidiary to an unrelated service recipient, as determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(f)(2)(ii) (the Asset Purchaser), in a transaction described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)(4) (an Asset Sale), then if, on the date of such Asset Sale, the Executive becomes employed by the Asset Purchaser, Sempra Energy and the Asset Purchaser shall specify, in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)(4), that the Executive shall not be treated as having a Separation from Service, and Sempra Energy shall require such Asset Purchaser, or the parent thereof, to assume expressly and agree to perform the obligations and satisfy and discharge the liabilities under this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that Sempra Energy would have been required to perform the obligations and satisfy and discharge the liabilities under this Agreement, if the Asset Sale had not taken place, and, upon such assumption, Sempra Energy shall have no further obligations and liabilities under the Agreement. Upon such assumption, (i) references to Sempra Energy in this Agreement shall be replaced with references to the Asset Purchaser or the parent thereof, as applicable, and (ii) subsection (b) of the definition of Cause and subsection (b) of the definition of Good Reason shall apply thereafter, as if a Change in Control had occurred on the date of the Asset Sale.
Section 17.
Administration Prior to Change in Control.

All determinations made under this Agreement by the Compensation Committee shall be final and binding on all interested persons. Prior to a Change in Control, the Compensation Committee may delegate responsibilities for the operation and administration of this Agreement to one or more officers or employees of the Company. The provisions of this Section 17 shall terminate and be of no further force and effect upon the occurrence of a Change in Control.
Section 18.
Section 409A of the Code.
(a)
Compliance with and Exemption from Section 409A of the Code. Certain payments and benefits payable under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Section 409A Payments) are intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. Certain payments and benefits payable under this Agreement are intended to be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. This Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with the applicable requirements of, and exemptions from, Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. To the extent the payments and benefits under this Agreement are subject to Section 409A of the Code, this Agreement shall be interpreted, construed and administered in a manner that satisfies the requirements of Sections 409A(a)(2), (3) and (4) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (subject to the transitional relief under Internal Revenue Service Notice 2005-1, the Proposed Regulations under Section 409A of the Code, Internal Revenue Service Notice 2006-79, Internal Revenue Service Notice 2007-78, Internal Revenue Service Notice 2007-86 and other applicable authority issued by the Internal Revenue Service). As provided in Internal Revenue Notice 2007-86, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, with respect to an election or amendment to change a time or form of payment under this Agreement made on or after January 1, 2008 and on or before December 31, 2008, the election or amendment shall apply only with respect to payments that would not otherwise be payable in 2008, and shall not cause payments to be made in 2008 that would not otherwise be payable in 2008. If the Company and the Executive determine that any compensation, benefits or other payments that are payable under this Agreement and intended to comply with Sections 409A(a)(2), (3) and (4) of the Code do not comply with Section 409A of the Code, the Treasury Regulations thereunder and other applicable authority issued by the Internal Revenue Service, to the extent permitted under Section 409A of the Code, the Treasury Regulations thereunder and any applicable authority issued by the Internal Revenue Service, the Company and the Executive agree to amend this Agreement, or take such other actions as the Company and the Executive deem reasonably necessary or appropriate, to cause such compensation, benefits and other payments to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, the Treasury Regulations thereunder and other applicable authority issued by the Internal Revenue Service, while providing compensation, benefits and other payments that are, in the aggregate, no less favorable than the compensation, benefits and other payments provided under this Agreement. In the case of any compensation, benefits or other payments that are payable under this Agreement and intended to comply with Sections 409A(a)(2), (3) and (4) of the Code, if any provision of the Agreement would cause such compensation, benefits or other payments to fail to so comply, such provision shall not be effective and shall be null and void with respect to such compensation, benefits or other payments to the extent such provision would cause a failure to comply, and such provision shall otherwise remain in full force and effect.
(b)
Deferral Elections. As provided in Sections 5(f), 6(h) and 14(d), the Executive may elect to defer the Pre-Change in Control Severance Payment, the Post-Change in Control Severance Payment and the Consulting Payment as follows. The Executives deferral election shall satisfy the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b) and the terms and conditions of the Deferred Compensation Plan. Such deferral election shall designate the whole percentage (up to a maximum of 100%) of the Pre-Change in Control Severance Payment, the Post-Change in Control Severance Payment and the Consulting Payment to be deferred, shall be irrevocable when made, and shall not take effect until at least twelve (12) months after the date on which the election is made. Such deferral election shall provide that the amount deferred shall be deferred for a period of not less than five (5) years from the date the payment of the amount deferred would otherwise have been made, in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(1)(ii).
Section 19.

No Waiver.

Termination upon Sale of Assets of Subsidiary. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, this Agreement shall automatically terminate and be of no further force and effect and no benefits shall be payable hereunder in the event that (i) the Executive is employed by a direct or indirect subsidiary of Sempra Energy, and (ii) an Asset Sale (as defined in Section 16(e)) occurs (other than such a sale or disposition which is part of a transaction or series of transactions which would result in a Change in Control), and (iii) as a result of such Asset Sale, the Executive is offered employment by the Asset Purchaser in an executive position with reasonably comparable status, compensation, benefits and severance agreement (including the assumption of this Agreement in accordance with Section 16(e)) and which is consistent with the Executives experience and education, but the Executive declines to accept such offer and the Executive fails to become employed by the Asset Purchaser on the date of the Asset Sale.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company gives such written notice to the Executive less than two (2) years after a Change in Control, the term of this Agreement shall be automatically extended until the later of (A) the date that is one (1) year after the anniversary of the Effective Date that follows such written notice or (B) the second (2nd) anniversary of the Change in Control Date.
(k)

For purposes of this Agreement and the preceding sentence, the words Releasee or Releasees and Claim or Claims shall have the meanings set forth below:
(a)
The words Releasee or Releasees shall refer to you and to the Company and each of the Companys owners, stockholders, predecessors, successors, assigns, agents, directors, officers, employees, representatives, attorneys, advisors, parent companies, divisions, subsidiaries, affiliates (and agents, directors, officers, employees, representatives, attorneys and advisors of such parent companies, divisions, subsidiaries and affiliates) and all persons acting by, through, under or in concert with any of them.
(b)
The words Claim or Claims shall refer to any charges, complaints, claims, liabilities, obligations, promises, agreements, controversies, damages, actions, causes of action, suits, rights, demands, costs, losses, debts and expenses (including attorneys fees and costs actually incurred) of any nature whatsoever, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, which you or the Company now, in the past or, except as limited by law or regulation such as the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), in the future may have, own or hold against any of the Releasees; provided, however, that the word Claim or Claims shall not refer to any charges, complaints, claims, liabilities, obligations, promises, agreements, controversies, damages, actions, causes of action, suits, rights, demands, costs, losses, debts and expenses (including attorneys fees and costs actually incurred) arising under [identify severance, employee benefits, stock option, indemnification and D&O and other agreements containing duties, rights obligations etc. of either party that are to remain operative]. Claims released pursuant to this Agreement by you and the Company include, but are not limited to, rights arising out of alleged violations of any contracts, express or implied, any tort, any claim that you failed to perform or negligently performed or breached your duties during employment at the Company, any legal restrictions on the Companys right to terminate employees or any federal, state or other governmental statute, regulation, or ordinance, including, without limitation: (1) Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (race, color, religion, sex and national origin discrimination); (2) 42 U.S.C. § 1981 (discrimination); (3) 29 U.S.C. §§ 621634 (age discrimination); (4) 29 U.S.C. § 206(d)(l) (equal pay); (5) 42 U.S.C. §§ 12101, et seq.

You and the Company do so understanding and acknowledging the significance of the release of unknown claims and the waiver of statutory protection against a release of unknown claims (including but not limited to Section 1542). Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California states as follows:
A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.
Thus, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1542 or of any similar statute, and for the purpose of implementing a full and complete release and discharge of the Releasees, you and the Company expressly acknowledge that this Agreement is intended to include in its effect, without limitation, all Claims which are known and all Claims which you or the Company do not know or suspect to exist in your or the Companys favor at the time of execution of this Agreement and that this Agreement contemplates the extinguishment of all such Claims.
FOUR: The parties acknowledge that they might hereafter discover facts different from, or in addition to, those they now know or believe to be true with respect to a Claim or Claims released herein, and they expressly agree to assume the risk of possible discovery of additional or different facts, and agree that this Agreement shall be and remain effective, in all respects, regardless of such additional or different discovered facts.
FIVE: You hereby represent and acknowledge that you have not filed any Claim of any kind against the Company or others released in this Agreement. You further hereby expressly agree never to initiate against the Company or others released in this Agreement any administrative proceeding, lawsuit or any other legal or equitable proceeding of any kind asserting any Claims that are released in this Agreement.
The Company hereby represents and acknowledges that it has not filed any Claim of any kind against you or others released in this Agreement. The Company further hereby expressly agrees never to initiate against you or others released in this Agreement any administrative proceeding, lawsuit or any other legal or equitable proceeding of any kind asserting any Claims that are released in this Agreement.
SIX: You hereby represent and agree that you have not assigned or transferred, or attempted to have assigned or transfer, to any person or entity, any of the Claims that you are releasing in this Agreement.
The Company hereby represents and agrees that it has not assigned or transferred, or attempted to have assigned or transfer, to any person or entity, any of the Claims that it is releasing in this Agreement.
SEVEN: As a further material inducement to the Company to enter into this Agreement, you hereby agree to indemnify and hold each of the Releasees harmless from all loss, costs, damages, or expenses, including without limitation, attorneys fees incurred by the Releasees, arising out of any breach of this Agreement by you or the fact that any representation made in this Agreement by you was false when made.
As a further material inducement to you to enter into this Agreement, the Company hereby agrees to indemnify and hold each of the Releasees harmless from all loss, costs, damages, or expenses, including without limitation, attorneys fees incurred by the Releasees, arising out of any breach of this Agreement by it or the fact that any representation made in this Agreement by it was knowingly false when made.
EIGHT: You and the Company represent and acknowledge that in executing this Agreement, neither is relying upon any representation or statement not set forth in this Agreement or the Severance Agreement.
NINE:
(a)
This Agreement shall not in any way be construed as an admission by the Company that it has acted wrongfully with respect to you or any other person, or that you have any rights whatsoever against the Company, and the Company specifically disclaims any liability to or wrongful acts against you or any other person, on the part of itself, its employees or its agents. This Agreement shall not in any way be construed as an admission by you that you have acted wrongfully with respect to the Company, or that you failed to perform your duties or negligently performed or breached your duties, or that the Company had good cause to terminate your employment.
(b)
If you are a party or are threatened to be made a party to any proceeding by reason of the fact that you were an officer or director of the Company, the Company shall indemnify you against any expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees; provided, that counsel has been approved by the Company prior to retention, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts actually or reasonably incurred by you in connection with that proceeding; provided, that you acted in good faith and in a manner you reasonably believed to be in the best interest of the Company. The limitations of California Corporations Code Section 317 shall apply to this assurance of indemnification.
(c)
You agree to cooperate with the Company and its designated attorneys, representatives and agents in connection with any actual or threatened judicial, administrative or other legal or equitable proceeding in which the Company is or may become involved. Upon reasonable notice, you agree to meet with and provide to the Company or its designated attorneys, representatives or agents all information and knowledge you have relating to the subject matter of any such proceeding. The Company agrees to reimburse you for any reasonable costs you incur in providing such cooperation.
TEN: This Agreement is made and entered into in California. This Agreement shall in all respects be interpreted, enforced and governed by and under the laws of the State of California and applicable Federal law. Any dispute about the validity, interpretation, effect or alleged violation of this Agreement (an arbitrable dispute) must be submitted to arbitration in San Diego, California. Arbitration shall take place before an experienced employment arbitrator licensed to practice law in such state and selected in accordance with the then existing JAMS arbitration rules applicable to employment disputes; provided, however, that in any event, the arbitrator shall allow reasonable discovery. Arbitration shall be the exclusive remedy for any arbitrable dispute. The arbitrator in any arbitrable dispute shall not have authority to modify or change the Agreement in any respect. You and the Company shall each be responsible for payment of one-half (1/2) the amount of the arbitrators fee(s); provided, however, that in no event shall you be required to pay any fee or cost of arbitration that is unique to arbitration or exceeds the costs you would have incurred had any arbitrable dispute been pursued in a court of competent jurisdiction. The Company shall make up any shortfall. Should any party to this Agreement institute any legal action or administrative proceeding against the other with respect to any Claim waived by this Agreement or pursue any arbitrable dispute by any method other than arbitration, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the non-prevailing party all damages, costs, expenses and attorneys fees incurred as a result of that action. The arbitrators decision and/or award shall be rendered in writing and will be fully enforceable and subject to an entry of judgment by the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of San Diego, or any other court of competent jurisdiction.
ELEVEN: Both you and the Company understand that this Agreement is final and binding eight (8) days after its execution and return. Should you nevertheless attempt to challenge the enforceability of this Agreement as provided in Paragraph TEN or, in violation of that Paragraph, through litigation, as a further limitation on any right to make such a challenge, you shall initially tender to the Company, by certified check delivered to the Company, all monies received pursuant to Section 14(d) of the Severance Pay Agreement, plus interest, and invite the Company to retain such monies and agree with you to cancel this Agreement and void the Companys obligations under Section 14(d) of the Severance Pay Agreement. In the event the Company accepts this offer, the Company shall retain such monies and this Agreement shall be canceled and the Company shall have no obligation under Section 14(d) of the Severance Pay Agreement. In the event the Company does not accept such offer, the Company shall so notify you and shall place such monies in an interest-bearing escrow account pending resolution of the dispute between you and the Company as to whether or not this Agreement and the Companys obligations under Section 14(d) of the Severance Pay Agreement shall be set aside and/or otherwise rendered voidable or unenforceable. Additionally, any consulting agreement then in effect between you and the Company shall be immediately rescinded with no requirement of notice.
TWELVE: Any notices required to be given under this Agreement shall be delivered either personally or by first class United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the respective parties as follows:

SEMPRA ENERGY
2013 LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
<YEAR> RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD
You have been granted a restricted stock unit award representing the right to receive one share of Sempra Energy Common Stock (together with reinvested dividend equivalents) for each unit, subject to the vesting conditions set forth below. The restricted stock units, and reinvested dividend equivalents, may not be sold or assigned and will be subject to forfeiture unless and until they vest on the date of the <YEAR> Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Shares of Common Stock will be distributed to you when the restricted stock units vest under the terms and conditions of your award. The terms and conditions of your award are set forth herein and in the Sempra Energy 2013 Long Term Incentive Plan, which is enclosed. | |||

Name of Recipient: | <NAME> | ||
Number of Restricted Stock Units (prior to any reinvested dividend equivalents): | <# RSU> | ||
Award Date Fair Market Value per Share of Common Stock: | <$STOCK PRICE> | ||
You have been granted a restricted stock unit award under the Sempra Energy 2013 Long Term Incentive Plan. Your restricted stock units represent the right to receive one share of Sempra Energy Common Stock (together with reinvested dividend equivalents) for each restricted stock unit upon the vesting of your award, subject to the terms and conditions of your award. Your restricted stock units are not shares of Common Stock. You will have no rights as a shareholder unless and until shares of Common Stock are issued to you upon the vesting of your restricted stock units. Your restricted stock units (and reinvested dividend equivalents) are subject to transfer restrictions and will be forfeited if your Sempra Energy board service terminates before your units vest. See Vesting/Forfeiture, Transfer Restrictions, and Termination of Board Service below. | |||
Vesting/Forfeiture of Restricted Stock Units: | |||
If not previously forfeited, your restricted stock units will vest on the date of the <YEAR> Annual Meeting of Shareholders or upon your earlier termination of board service by reason of your death, disability, or removal from the board without cause. Your restricted stock units will be forfeited upon your termination of board service before the date of the <YEAR> Annual Meeting of Shareholders for any reason other than your death, disability, or removal from the board without cause. | |||
Transfer Restrictions: | |||
Your restricted stock units may not be sold or otherwise transferred and will remain subject to forfeiture conditions until they vest. | |||
Termination of Board Service: | |||
If your Sempra Energy board service terminates for any reason prior to the date of the <YEAR> Annual Meeting of Shareholders (other than by reason of your death, disability, or removal from the board without cause), all of your restricted stock units will be forfeited. If your board service terminates by reason of your death, disability, or removal from the board without cause, your restricted stock units (and reinvested dividend equivalents) will immediately vest. |
| Reinvested Dividend Equivalents: | ||
| You also have been awarded reinvested dividend equivalents with respect to your restricted stock units. Your reinvested dividend equivalents represent the right to receive additional shares of Common Stock in the future, subject to the terms and conditions of your award. Your reinvested dividend equivalents will be determined based on the dividends that you would have received, had you held shares of Common Stock equal to the number of your restricted stock units from the date of your award to the date they vest, and assuming that the dividends and successive dividends thereon were reinvested in Common Stock in the same manner as dividends reinvested pursuant to the terms of the Sempra Energy Dividend Reinvestment Plan. Your reinvested dividend equivalents will be subject to the same transfer restrictions and forfeiture and vesting conditions as the shares represented by your restricted stock units. Also, your restricted stock units (and dividend equivalents), including the terms and conditions thereof, will be adjusted to prevent dilution or enlargement of your rights in the event of a stock dividend on shares of Common Stock or as the result of a stock-split, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar transaction in accordance with the terms and conditions of the 2013 Long Term Incentive Plan. Any additional restricted stock units (and dividend equivalents) awarded to you as a result of such an adjustment also will be subject to the same transfer restrictions, forfeiture and vesting conditions and other terms and conditions that are applicable to your restricted stock units. | ||
| Distribution of Shares: | ||
| Following the vesting of your restricted stock units, you will receive the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of your restricted stock units that have vested. You will receive the shares as soon as reasonably practicable following the vesting date. Once you receive the shares of Common Stock, your restricted stock units (and dividend equivalents) will terminate. | ||
| Taxes: | ||
| Upon the distribution of your units (and reinvested dividend equivalents) in shares of Common Stock, you will realize taxable income based on the fair market value of the shares on the distribution date and, if applicable, you must pay any applicable withholding (or other) taxes. If you are subject to withholding (or other) taxes, prior to the taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, you must pay, or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to Sempra Energy to pay these taxes. In this regard, unless you instruct otherwise and pay or make arrangements satisfactory to Sempra Energy to pay these taxes, upon the distribution of your shares, Sempra Energy will withhold a sufficient number of shares of common stock or restricted stock units (valued in each case at the distribution date fair market value) to cover the minimum required withholding taxes and transfer to you only the remaining balance of your shares. | ||
| Change in Control: | ||
| A change in control shall be governed in accordance with Article 16 (Change in Control) of the 2013 Sempra Energy Long Term Incentive Plan. | ||
| Further Actions: | ||
| You agree to take all actions and execute all documents appropriate to carry out the provisions of this Agreement. You also appoint as your attorney-in-fact each individual who at the time of so acting is the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of Sempra Energy with full authority to effect any transfer of any shares of Common Stock distributable to you that is authorized by this Agreement. | ||
| Applicable Law: | ||
| This Agreement will be interpreted and enforced under the laws of the State of California. | ||
| Other Agreements: | ||
| In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the 2013 Long Term Incentive Plan, the plan document shall prevail. | ||

Initial Directors

In addition, at each Annual Meeting at or following which he or she is re-elected or continues to serve, each such Non-Employee Director shall receive as of such date a grant of an Option to purchase 5,000 shares. Each such Option shall have a per share exercise price equal to the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date of grant, shall be for a term of ten years and shall be subject to the vesting schedule provided for in Section 5(b) and the other terms and conditions provided for herein.
(ii)
Subsequent Directors
Each individual who subsequently becomes a Non-Employee Director (including any Non-Employee Director who is re-elected after a period during which he or she did not serve on the Board) shall receive coincident with his or her election to the Board (or re-election after a period during which he or she did not serve on the Board) a grant of an Option to purchase 15,000 shares of Common Stock. In addition, at each Annual Meeting at or following which he or she is re-elected or continues to serve (other than the Annual Meeting coincident with or first succeeding his or her election), each Non-Employee Director shall receive as of such date a grant of an Option to purchase 5,000 shares of Common Stock.

(b)
Vesting Schedule of Options
Options awarded pursuant to the Plan shall vest and become exercisable on the date of the first Annual Meeting following the date of grant; provided, however, that an Option shall become fully vested and exercisable upon a Non-Employee Director ceasing to be a member of the Board as a result of death, Disability, Retirement or in the event of his or her involuntary termination of service on the Board other than for cause.
(c)
Exercise of Options Following Termination of Service
If a Non-Employee Director ceases to be a member of the Board for any reason, then (A) the Non-Employee Director shall have the right, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, to exercise the Option, to the extent it has vested as of the date of such termination of service, at any time within five years after the date of such termination or the earlier expiration of the ten-year term of the Option, and (B) the unvested portion of any Options awarded to the Non-Employee Director shall be forfeited as of the date of termination of service.
(d)
Method of Exercise
The exercise price of an Option may be paid in cash or previously owned shares or a combination thereof and in whole or in part through the withholding of shares subject to the Option with a Fair Market Value equal to the exercise price. In accordance with the rules and procedures established by the Board for this purpose, an Option may also be exercised through a "cashless exercise" procedure approved by the Board involving a broker or dealer approved by the Board, that affords Non-Employee Directors the opportunity to sell immediately some or all of the shares underlying the exercised portion of the Option in order to generate sufficient cash to pay the Option exercise price and/or to satisfy withholding tax obligation related to the Option.

6.
DIRECTOR SHARES
A Non-Employee Director may elect to receive all or a specified percentage of his or her Director's Fees for each year of service on the Board in Director Shares, in lieu of cash compensation for such portion thereof, rounded up or down to the next whole share in the event of fractional amounts. The number of Director Shares to be received by each Non-Employee Director shall be determined by dividing the portion of such Non-Employee Director's Fees to be paid in Director Shares by the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date such compensation would otherwise have been paid in cash. The Non-Employee Director shall have all the rights and privileges of a shareholder as to such shares, including the right to receive dividends and the right to vote such shares. The Director Shares shall be immediately vested upon grant, shall not be forfeitable to the Company and shall not be subject to any restrictions on transfer (other than those imposed under applicable law or under any trading policy of the Company).
7.
DEFERRAL OF DIRECTOR'S FEES
(a)
Deferral Elections
(i)
General Provisions
A Non-Employee Director may elect to defer all or a specified percentage of his or her Director's Fees with respect to a Deferral Period in the manner provided in this Section 7; provided, however, that a Non-Employee Director may not elect to defer any Director's Fees which the Non-Employee Director will receive in Director Shares in accordance with Section 6 above. A Non-Employee Director's Deferred Benefit is at all times nonforfeitable. The deferral provisions set forth in this Section 7 shall be nonexclusive and shall not be construed to prevent a Non-Employee Director from deferring Director's Fees under another applicable plan or program of the Company.
(ii)
Deferral Election Forms
Before the Election Date applicable to a Deferral Period, each Non-Employee Director will be provided with a Deferral Election Form and a Beneficiary Designation Form. In order for a Non-Employee Director to participate in the Plan for a given Deferral Period, a Deferral Election Form, completed and signed by the Non-Employee Director, must be delivered to the Company on or prior to the applicable Election Date. A Non-Employee Director electing to participate in the Plan for a given Deferral Period shall indicate on his or her Deferral Election Form:
(A)
the percentage of the Director's Fees for the applicable Deferral Period to be deferred; and
(B)
The Non-Employee Director's election either to have distribution of his or her Deferred Benefit commence following termination of service as a Non-Employee Director or to have such distribution commence as of a date specified by him or her on such Form, provided, however, that any such election concerning the commencement of distribution of a Non-Employee Director's Deferred Benefit shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 7(e); and provided further, however, that in no event may a Non-Employee Director elect to defer any Director's Fees for a period that is less than two years.
(iii)
Revocation of Deferral Election
A Non-Employee Director may revoke a Deferral Election applicable to a Deferral Period; provided, that in order to be effective, a revocation must be in writing and signed by the Non-Employee Director, must express the Non-Employee Director's intention to revoke his or her Deferral Election applicable to that Deferral Period, and must be delivered to the Company before the close of business on the Election Date applicable to such Deferral Period.
(b)
Establishment of Deferred Compensation Accounts
A Non-Employee Director's deferrals will be credited to a Deferred Compensation Account established for that Non-Employee Director. As of the last business day of each calendar quarter , a Non-Employee Director's Deferred Compensation Account will be credited with a number of Phantom Stock Units (including fractions of Phantom Stock Units) determined by dividing (i) the amount of the Director's Fees deferred over such quarter by (ii) the average closing price of a share of Common Stock over the applicable calendar quarter. The crediting of Phantom Stock Units to a Non-Employee Director's Deferred Compensation Account shall not confer on the Non-Employee Director any rights as a shareholder of the Company.
(c)
Dividend Equivalents on Phantom Stock Deferrals
Each Phantom Stock Unit credited to the Deferred Compensation Account of a Non-Employee Director will be credited with an additional number of Phantom Stock Units (including fractions thereof) as dividend equivalents, determined by dividing (i) the amount of cash, or the value (as determined by the Board) of any securities or other property, paid or distributed as dividends in respect of one outstanding share of Common Stock by (ii) the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock for the date of such payment or distribution. Such credit shall be made effective as of the date of the dividend or other distribution in respect of the Common Stock.
(d)
Manner of Payment of Deferred Benefit
Payments of Deferred Benefits under the Plan will be in cash or shares of Common Stock, or a combination thereof, as the Board in its sole discretion shall determine. To the extent that cash payments are made hereunder, they shall be based on the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the day preceding the day on which the payment is due. The Company shall pay a Non-Employee Director's Deferred Benefit either in a single lump sum or in a series of installments, as the Board in its sole discretion shall determine, provided, however, that if the Board elects to pay a Non-Employee Director's Deferred Benefit in a series of installments, such installments shall be paid no more frequently than quarterly and the Deferred Benefit must be distributed over a period not exceeding five years. The unpaid portion of a Non-Employee Director's Deferred Benefit shall continue to be credited with dividend equivalents as provided in Section 7(c) until it is fully paid.
(e)
Commencement of Payment of Deferred Benefit
Except as provided in Section 7(f), a Non-Employee Director's Deferred Benefit shall be paid (if payable in a lump sum), or commence to be paid (if payable in a series of installments), to the Non-Employee Director as soon as practicable (but in no event more than 90 days) after the earliest to occur of: (i) termination of service as a Non-Employee Director; (ii) the date specified in the Deferral Election Form executed by the Non-Employee Director; or (iii) the Non-Employee Director's death.
(f)
Designation of Beneficiary
Each Non-Employee Director may designate a Beneficiary to receive any Deferred Benefit due under the Plan upon the Non-Employee Director's death by executing a Beneficiary Designation Form. A Beneficiary designation is not binding on the Company until the Company receives the Beneficiary Designation Form. If no designation is made or no designated Beneficiary is alive (or in the case of an entity designated as a Beneficiary, in existence) at the time of the Non-Employee Director's death, payments due under the Plan will be made to the Non-Employee Director's estate.
(g)
Restrictions on Transfer
The Company shall pay all Deferred Benefits payable under the Plan only to the Non-Employee Director or Beneficiary designated under the Plan to receive such amounts. Neither a Non-Employee Director nor his or her Beneficiary shall have any right to anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber or change any benefits to which he or she may become entitled under the Plan, and any attempt to do so shall be void. A Deferred Benefit shall not be subject to attachment, execution by levy, garnishment, or other legal or equitable process for a Non-Employee Director's or Beneficiary's debts or other obligations.
8.
RECAPITALIZATION OR REORGANIZATION
(a)
Authority of the Company and Shareholders
The existence of the Plan shall not affect or restrict in any way the right or power of the Company or the shareholders of the Company to make or authorize any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other change in the Company's capital structure or its business, any merger or consolidation of the Company, any issue of stock or of options, warrants or rights to purchase stock or of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stocks whose rights are superior to or affect the Common Stock or the rights thereof or which are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets of business, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.
(b)
Change in Capitalization
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, in the event of any change in the outstanding Common Stock by reason of a stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, stock split, combination or exchange of shares or any other significant corporate event affecting the Common Stock, the Board shall make (i) such proportionate adjustments as it considers appropriate (in the form determined by the Board in its sole discretion) to prevent diminution or enlargement of the rights of Non-Employee Directors under the Plan with respect to the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock authorized to be awarded under the Plan, the number of shares of Common Stock covered by each outstanding Option and the exercise prices in respect thereof, the number of shares of Common Stock covered by future Option awards and the number of Phantom Stock Units credited to a Non-Employee Director's Deferred Compensation Account and/or (ii) such other adjustments as it deems appropriate. The Board's determination as to what, if any, adjustments shall be made shall be final and binding on the Company and all Non-Employee Directors.
9.
CHANGE IN CONTROL
In the event of a Change in Control (i) all Options then outstanding shall automatically become fully vested and exercisable as of the date of the Change in Control; and (ii) all Deferred Benefits shall be paid out in a cash lump sum within five business days of the Change in Control. In the case of a Change in Control involving a merger of, or consolidation involving, the Company in which the Company is (A) not the surviving corporation (the "Surviving Entity") or (B) becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of the Surviving Entity or any Parent thereof, each outstanding Option granted under the Plan and not exercised (a Predecessor Option) will be converted into an option (a Replacement Option) to acquire common stock of the Surviving Entity or its Parent, which Replacement Option will have substantially the same terms and conditions as the Predecessor Option, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and exercise prices. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Change in Control, the Board expressly reserves the discretion to cancel all outstanding Options, effective as of the date of the Change in Control, in exchange for a cash payment to be made to each of the Non-Employee Directors within five business days following the Change in Control in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the Company's Common Stock on the date of the Change in Control over the exercise price of each such Option, multiplied by the number of shares that are subject to such option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Company becomes a party to a transaction that is intended to qualify for pooling of interests accounting treatment and, but for one or more of the provisions of this Plan would so qualify, then this Plan shall be interpreted so as to preserve such accounting treatment, and to the extent that any provision of the Plan would disqualify the transaction from pooling of interests accounting treatment then such provision shall be null and void. All determinations to be made in connection with the preceding sentence shall be made by the independent accounting firm whose opinion with respect to pooling of interests treatment is required as a condition to the Company's consummation of such transaction.
10.
TERMINATION AND AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN
(a)

Accrued Obligations. The Company shall pay the Executive a lump sum amount in cash equal to the Accrued Obligations within the time required by law.
(b)
Pro Rata Bonus. The Company shall pay the Executive a lump sum amount in cash equal to: (i) the greater of: (X) 50% of the Executives Annual Base Salary as in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control or on the Date of Termination, whichever is greater, or (Y) the Executives Average Annual Bonus, multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days from the beginning of such fiscal year to and including the Date of Termination and the denominator of which shall be 365 equal to (the Pro Rata Bonus).
(c)
Pension Supplement. The Executive shall be entitled to receive a Supplemental Retirement Benefit under the Sempra Energy Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, as in effect from time to time (SERP), determined in accordance with this Section 5(c), in the event that the Executive is a Participant (as defined in the SERP) as of the Date of Termination. Such Supplemental Retirement Benefit shall be determined by crediting the Executive with additional months of Service (if any) equal to the number of full calendar months from the Date of Termination to the date on which the Executive would have attained age 62. The Executive shall be entitled to receive such Supplemental Retirement Benefit without regard to whether the Executive has attained age 55 or completed five years of Service (as defined in the SERP) as of the Date of Termination. The Executive shall be treated as qualified for Retirement (as defined in the SERP) as of the Date of Termination, and the Executives Vesting Factor with respect to the Supplemental Retirement Benefit shall be 100%. The Executives Supplemental Retirement Benefit shall be calculated based on the Executives actual age as of the date of commencement of payment of such Supplemental Retirement Benefit (the SERP Distribution Date), and by applying the applicable early retirement factors under the SERP, if the Executive has not attained age 62 but has attained age 55 as of the SERP Distribution Date. If the Executive has not attained age 55 as of the SERP Distribution Date, the Executives Supplemental Retirement Benefit shall be calculated by applying the applicable early retirement factor under the SERP for age 55, and the Supplemental Retirement Benefit otherwise payable at age 55 shall be actuarially adjusted to the Executives actual age as of the SERP Distribution Date using the following actuarial assumptions: (i) the applicable mortality table promulgated by the Internal Revenue Service under Section 417(e)(3) of the Code, as in effect on the first day of the calendar year in which the SERP Distribution Date occurs, and (ii) the applicable interest rate promulgated by the Internal Revenue Service under Section 417(a)(3) of the Code for the November next preceding the first day of the calendar year in which the SERP Distribution Date occurs. The Executives Supplemental Retirement Benefit shall be determined in accordance with this Section 5(c), notwithstanding any contrary provisions of the SERP and, to the extent subject to Section 409A of the Code, shall be paid in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(c)(1). The Supplemental Retirement Benefit paid to or on behalf of the Executive in accordance with this Section 5(c) shall be in full satisfaction of any and all of the benefits payable to or on behalf of the Executive under the SERP.
(d)
Equity-Based Compensation. Notwithstanding the provisions of any applicable equity-compensation plan or award agreement to the contrary, all equity-based Incentive Compensation Awards (including, without limitation, stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance share awards, awards covered under Section 162(m) of the Code, and dividend equivalents) held by the Executive shall immediately vest and become exercisable or payable, as the case may be, as of the Date of Termination, to be exercised or paid, as the case may be, in accordance with the terms of the applicable Incentive Compensation Plan and Incentive Compensation Award agreement, and any restrictions on any such Incentive Compensation Awards shall automatically lapse; provided, however, that any such stock option or stock appreciation rights awards granted on or after June 26, 1998 shall remain outstanding and exercisable until the earlier of (A) the later of eighteen (18) months following the Date of Termination or the period specified in the applicable Incentive Compensation Award agreements or (B) the expiration of the original term of such Incentive Compensation Award (or, if earlier, the tenth anniversary of the original date of grant) (it being understood that all Incentive Compensation Awards granted prior to or after June 26, 1998 shall remain outstanding and exercisable for a period that is no less than that provided for in the applicable agreement in effect as of the date of grant).
(e)
Welfare Benefits. Subject to Section 12 below, for a period of twelve (12) months following the date of Involuntary Termination (and an additional twelve (12) months if the Executive provides consulting services under Section 14(e) hereof), the Executive and his dependents shall be provided with life, disability, accident and health insurance benefits substantially similar to those provided to the Executive and his dependents immediately prior to the date of Involuntary Termination or the Change in Control Date, whichever is more favorable to the Executive; provided, however, that such benefits shall be provided on substantially the same terms and conditions and at the same cost to the Executive as in effect immediately prior to the date of Involuntary Termination or the Change in Control Date, whichever is more favorable to the Executive. Such benefits shall be provided through insurance maintained by the Company under the Company benefit plans. Such benefits shall be provided in a manner that complies with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(a)(5). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company determines in its sole discretion that it cannot provide the foregoing benefit without potentially violating applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), the Company shall in lieu thereof provide to the Executive a taxable monthly payment in an amount equal to the monthly premium that the Executive would be required to pay to continue the Executives and his covered dependents group insurance coverages under COBRA as in effect on the Date of Termination (which amount shall be based on the premiums for the first month of COBRA coverage); provided, however, that, if the Executive is a Specified Employee on the Date of Termination, then such payments shall be paid as provided in Section 9 hereof.
(f)
Outplacement Services. The Executive shall receive reasonable outplacement services, on an in-kind basis, suitable to his position and directly related to the Executives Involuntary Termination, for a period of twenty-four (24) months following the date of Involuntary Termination (but in no event beyond the last day of the Executives second taxable year following the Executives taxable year in which the Involuntary Termination occurs), in the aggregate amount of cost to the Company not to exceed $50,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive shall cease to receive outplacement services on the date the Executive accepts employment with a subsequent employer. Such outplacement services shall be provided in a manner that complies with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(v)(A).
(g)
Financial Planning Services. The Executive shall receive financial planning services, on an in-kind basis, for a period of twenty-four (24) months following the date of Involuntary Termination. Such financial planning services shall include expert financial and legal resources to assist the Executive with financial planning needs and shall be limited to (i) current investment portfolio management, (ii) tax planning, (iii) tax return preparation, and (iv) estate planning advice and document preparation (including wills and trusts); provided, however, that the Company shall provide such financial services during any taxable year of the Executive only to the extent the cost to the Company for such taxable year does not exceed $25,000. The Company shall provide such financial planning services through a financial planner selected by the Company, and shall pay the fees for such financial planning services. The financial planning services provided during any taxable year of the Executive shall not affect the financial planning services provided in any other taxable year of the Executive. The Executives right to financial planning services shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for any other benefit. Such financial planning services shall be provided in a manner that complies with Section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv).
(h)
Involuntary Termination in Connection with a Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, in the event of an Involuntary Termination prior to a Change in Control, if the Involuntary Termination (1) was at the request of a third party who has taken steps reasonably calculated to effect such Change in Control or (2) otherwise arose in connection with or in anticipation of such Change in Control, then the Executive shall, in lieu of the payments described in Section 4 hereof, be entitled to the Post-Change in Control Severance Payment and the additional benefits described in this Section 5 as if such Involuntary Termination had occurred within two (2) years following the Change in Control. The amounts specified in Section 5 that are to be paid under this Section 5(h) shall be reduced by any amount previously paid under Section 4. The amounts to be paid under this Section 5(h) shall be paid within sixty (60) days after the Change in Control Date of such Change in Control.
(i)
Deferral of Payments. The Executive shall have the right to elect to defer the Post-Change in Control Severance Payment and the Pro Rata Bonus to be received by the Executive pursuant to this Section 5 under the terms and conditions of the Deferred Compensation Plan. Any such deferral election shall be made in accordance with Section 18(b) hereof.
Section 6.
Severance Benefits upon Termination by the Company for Cause or by the Executive Other than for Good Reason. If the Executives employment shall be terminated for Cause, or if the Executive terminates employment other than for Good Reason, the Company shall have no further obligations to the Executive under this Agreement other than the Accrued Obligations and any amounts or benefits described in Section 10 hereof.
Section 7.
Severance Benefits upon Termination due to Death or Disability. If the Executive has a Separation from Service by reason of death or Disability, the Company shall pay the Executive or his estate, as the case may be, the Accrued Obligations and the Pro Rata Bonus (without regard to whether a Change in Control has occurred) and any amounts or benefits described in Section 10 hereof. Such payments shall be in addition to those rights and benefits to which the Executive or his estate may be entitled under the relevant Company plans or programs. The Company's obligation to pay the Pro Rata Bonus is conditioned upon the Executive, the Executive's representative or the Executive's estate, as the case may be executing the Release within fifty (50) days after the date of Executive's Separation from Service and not revoking such Release in accordance with the terms thereof. The Accrued Obligations shall be paid within the time required by law and the Pro Rata Bonus shall be paid on such date as determined by the Company within sixty (60) days after the date of the Separation from Service but not before the Release becomes effective and irrevocable. If the fifty (50) day period in which the Release could become effective spans more than one taxable year, then the Pro Rata Bonus shall not be made until the later taxable year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Executive is a Specified Employee on the date of the Executives Separation from Service, the Pro Rata Bonus shall be paid as provided in Section 9 hereof.
Section 8.
Limitations on Payments by the Company.
(a)
Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding and except as set forth in this Section 8 below, in the event it shall be determined that any payment or distribution in the nature of compensation (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code) to or for the benefit of the Executive, whether paid or payable pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise (the Payment) would be subject (in whole or in part) to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, (the Excise Tax), then, subject to subsection (b), the Pre-Change in Control Severance Benefit or the Post-Change in Control Severance Payment (whichever is applicable) payable under this Agreement shall be reduced under this subsection (a) to the amount equal to the Reduced Payment. For such Payment payable under this Agreement, the Reduced Payment shall be the amount equal to the greatest portion of the Payment (which may be zero) that, if paid, would result in no portion of any Payment being subject to the Excise Tax.
(b)
The Pre-Change in Control Severance Benefit or the Post-Change in Control Severance Payment (whichever is applicable) payable under this Agreement shall not be reduced under subsection (a) if:
(i)
such reduction in such Payment is not sufficient to cause no portion of any Payment to be subject to the Excise Tax, or
(ii)
the Net After-Tax Unreduced Payments (as defined below) would equal or exceed one hundred and five percent (105%) of the Net After-Tax Reduced Payments (as defined below).
For purposes of determining the amount of any Reduced Payment under subsection (a), and the Net-After Tax Reduced Payments and the Net After-Tax Unreduced Payments, the Executive shall be considered to pay federal, state and local income and employment taxes at the Executives applicable marginal rates taking into consideration any reduction in federal income taxes which could be obtained from the deduction of state and local income taxes, and any reduction or disallowance of itemized deductions and personal exemptions under applicable tax law). The applicable federal, state and local income and employment taxes and the Excise Tax (to the extent applicable) are collectively referred to as the Taxes.
(c)
The following definitions shall apply for purposes of this Section 8:
(i)
Net After-Tax Reduced Payments shall mean the total amount of all Payments that the Executive would retain, on a Net After-Tax Basis, in the event that the Payments payable under this Agreement are reduced pursuant to subsection (a).
(ii)
Net After-Tax Unreduced Payments shall mean the total amount of all Payments that the Executive would retain, on a Net After-Tax Basis, in the event that the Payments payable under this Agreement are not reduced pursuant to subsection (a).
(iii)
Net After-Tax Basis shall mean, with respect to the Payments, either with or without reduction under subsection (a) (as applicable), the amount that would be retained by the Executive from such Payments after the payment of all Taxes.
(d)
All determinations required to be made under this Section 8 and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determinations, shall be made by a nationally recognized accounting firm as may be agreed by the Company and the Executive (the Accounting Firm); provided, that the Accounting Firms determination shall be made based upon substantial authority within the meaning of Section 6662 of the Code. The Accounting Firm shall provide detailed supporting calculations to both the Company and the Executive within fifteen (15) business days of the receipt of notice from the Executive that there has been a Payment or such earlier time as is requested by the Company. All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Executive. For purposes of determining whether and the extent to which the Payments will be subject to the Excise Tax, (i) no portion of the Payments the receipt or enjoyment of which the Executive shall have waived at such time and in such manner as not to constitute a payment within the meaning of Section 280G(b) of the Code shall be taken into account, (ii) no portion of the Payments shall be taken into account which, in the written opinion of the Accounting Firm, does not constitute a parachute payment within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code (including by reason of Section 280G(b)(4)(A) of the Code) and, in calculating the Excise Tax, no portion of such Payments shall be taken into account which, in the opinion of the Accounting Firm, constitutes reasonable compensation for services actually rendered, within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(4)(B) of the Code, in excess of the base amount (as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) allocable to such reasonable compensation, and (iii) the value of any non-cash benefit or any deferred payment or benefit included in the Payments shall be determined by the Accounting Firm in accordance with the principles of Sections 280G(d)(3) and (4) of the Code.
Section 9.
Delayed Distribution under Section 409A of the Code. If the Executive is a Specified Employee on the date of the Executives Involuntary Termination (or on the date of the Executives Separation from Service by reason of Disability), the Section 409A Payments, and any other payments or benefits under this Agreement subject to Section 409A of the Code, shall be delayed in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, and such payments or benefits shall be paid or distributed to the Executive during the thirty (30) day period commencing on the earlier of (a) the expiration of the six-month period measured from the date of the Executives Separation from Service or (b) the date of the Executives death. Upon the expiration of the applicable six-month period under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, all payments deferred pursuant to this Section 9 (excluding in-kind benefits) shall be paid in a lump sum payment to the Executive, plus interest thereon from the date of the Executives Involuntary Termination through the payment date at an annual rate equal to Moodys Rate. The Moodys Rate shall mean the average of the daily Moodys Corporate Bond Yield Average Monthly Average Corporates as published by Moodys Investors Service, Inc. (or any successor) for the month next preceding the Date of Termination. Any remaining payments due under the Agreement shall be paid as otherwise provided herein.
Section 10.
Nonexclusivity of Rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit the Executives continuing or future participation in any benefit, plan, program, policy or practice provided by the Company and for which the Executive may qualify (except with respect to any benefit to which the Executive has waived his rights in writing), including, without limitation, any and all indemnification arrangements in favor of the Executive (whether under agreements or under the Companys charter documents or otherwise), and insurance policies covering the Executive, nor shall anything herein limit or otherwise affect such rights as the Executive may have under any other contract or agreement entered into after the Effective Date with the Company. Amounts which are vested benefits or which the Executive is otherwise entitled to receive under any benefit, plan, policy, practice or program of, or any contract or agreement entered into with, the Company shall be payable in accordance with such benefit, plan, policy, practice or program or contract or agreement except as explicitly modified by this Agreement. At all times during the Executives employment with the Company and thereafter, the Company shall provide (to the extent permissible under applicable law) the Executive with indemnification and D&O insurance insuring the Executive against insurable events which occur or have occurred while the Executive was a director or the Executive officer of the Company, on terms and conditions that are at least as generous as that then provided to any other current or former director or the Executive officer of the Company or any Affiliate. Such indemnification and D&O insurance shall be provided in a manner that complies with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(10).
Section 11.
Clawbacks. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Company determines, in its good faith judgment, that if the Executive is required to forfeit or to make any repayment of any compensation or benefit(s) to the Company under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 or pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or any other law, such forfeiture or repayment shall not constitute Good Reason.
Section 12.
Full Settlement; Mitigation. The Companys obligation to make the payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other claim, right or action which the Company may have against the Executive or others, provided that nothing herein shall preclude the Company from separately pursuing recovery from the Executive based on any such claim. In no event shall the Executive be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts (including amounts for damages for breach) payable to the Executive under any of the provisions of this Agreement, and such amounts shall not be reduced whether or not the Executive obtains other employment.
Section 13.
Dispute Resolution.
(a)
If any dispute arises between Executive and the Company, including, but not limited to, disputes relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any action relating to or arising out of my employment or its termination, and/or any disputes regarding the interpretation, enforceability, or validity of this Agreement (Arbitrable Dispute), Executive and the Company waive the right to resolve the dispute through litigation in a judicial forum and agree to resolve the Arbitrable Dispute through final and binding arbitration, except as prohibited by law. Arbitration shall be the exclusive remedy for any Arbitrable Dispute.
(b)
As to any Arbitrable Dispute, the Company and Executive waive any right to a jury trial or a court bench trial. The Company and Executive also waive the right to bring, maintain, or participate in any class, collective, or representative proceeding, whether in arbitration or otherwise. Further, Arbitrable Disputes must be brought in the individual capacity of the party asserting the claim, and cannot be maintained on a class, collective, or representative basis.
(c)
Arbitration shall take place at the office of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Service (JAMS) (or, if Executive is employed outside of California, the American Arbitration Association (AAA)) nearest to the location where Executive last worked for the Company. Except to the extent it conflicts with the rules and procedures set forth in this Arbitration Agreement, arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the JAMs Employment Arbitration Rules & Procedures (if Executive is employed outside of California, the AAA Employment Arbitration Rules & Mediation Procedures), copies of which are attached for my reference and available at www.jamsadr.com; tel: 800.352.5267 and www.adr.org; tel: 800.778.7879, before a single experienced, neutral employment arbitrator selected in accordance with those rules.
(d)
The Company will be responsible for paying any filing fee and the fees and costs of the arbitrator. Each party shall pay its own attorneys fees. However, if any party prevails on a statutory claim that authorizes an award of attorneys fees to the prevailing party, or if there is a written agreement providing for attorneys fees, the arbitrator may award reasonable attorneys fees to the prevailing party, applying the same standards a court would apply under the law applicable to the claim.
(e)
The arbitrator shall apply the Federal Rules of Evidence, shall have the authority to entertain a motion to dismiss or a motion for summary judgment by any party, and shall apply the standards governing such motions under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The arbitrator does not have the authority to consider, certify, or hear an arbitration as a class action, collective action, or any other type of representative action. The Company and Executive recognize that this Agreement arises out of or concerns interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act shall govern the arbitration and shall govern the interpretation or enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement or any arbitration award.
(f)
EXECUTIVE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, EXECUTIVE IS WAIVING ANY RIGHT HE OR SHE MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY.
Section 14.
Executives Covenants.
(a)
Confidentiality. The Executive acknowledges that in the course of his employment with the Company, he has acquired non-public privileged or confidential information and trade secrets concerning the operations, future plans and methods of doing business (Proprietary Information) of the Company and its Affiliates; and the Executive agrees that it would be extremely damaging to the Company and its Affiliates if such Proprietary Information were disclosed to a competitor of the Company and its Affiliates or to any other person or corporation. The Executive understands and agrees that all Proprietary Information has been divulged to the Executive in confidence and further understands and agrees to keep all Proprietary Information secret and confidential (except for such information which is or becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach by the Executive of this provision or information the Executive is required by any governmental, administrative or court order to disclose) without limitation in time. In view of the nature of the Executives employment and the Proprietary Information the Executive has acquired during the course of such employment, the Executive likewise agrees that the Company and its Affiliates would be irreparably harmed by any disclosure of Proprietary Information in violation of the terms of this paragraph and that the Company and its Affiliates shall therefore be entitled to preliminary and/or permanent injunctive relief prohibiting the Executive from engaging in any activity or threatened activity in violation of the terms of this paragraph and to any other relief available to them. Inquiries regarding whether specific information constitutes Proprietary Information shall be directed to the Companys Senior Vice President, Public Policy (or, if such position is vacant, the Companys then Chief Executive Officer); provided, that the Company shall not unreasonably classify information as Proprietary Information.
(b)
Non-Solicitation of Employees. The Executive recognizes that he possesses and will possess confidential information about other employees of the Company and its Affiliates relating to their education, experience, skills, abilities, compensation and benefits, and inter-personal relationships with customers of the Company and its Affiliates. The Executive recognizes that the information he possesses and will possess about these other employees is not generally known, is of substantial value to the Company and its Affiliates in developing their business and in securing and retaining customers, and has been and will be acquired by him because of his business position with the Company and its Affiliates. The Executive agrees that at all times during the Executives employment with the Company and for a period of one (1) year thereafter, he will not, directly or indirectly, solicit or recruit any employee of the Company or its Affiliates for the purpose of being employed by him or by any competitor of the Company or its Affiliates on whose behalf he is acting as an agent, representative or employee and that he will not convey any such confidential information or trade secrets about other employees of the Company and its Affiliates to any other person; provided, however, that it shall not constitute a solicitation or recruitment of employment in violation of this paragraph to discuss employment opportunities with any employee of the Company or its Affiliates who has either first contacted the Executive or regarding whose employment the Executive has discussed with and received the written approval of the Companys Vice President, Human Resources (or, if such position is vacant, the Companys then Chief Executive Officer), prior to making such solicitation or recruitment. In view of the nature of the Executives employment with the Company, the Executive likewise agrees that the Company and its Affiliates would be irreparably harmed by any solicitation or recruitment in violation of the terms of this paragraph and that the Company and its Affiliates shall therefore be entitled to preliminary and/or permanent injunctive relief prohibiting the Executive from engaging in any activity or threatened activity in violation of the terms of this paragraph and to any other relief available to them.
(c)
Survival of Provisions. The obligations contained in Section 14(a) and Section 14(b) above shall survive the termination of the Executives employment within the Company and shall be fully enforceable thereafter. If it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in any state that any restriction in Section 14(a) or Section 14(b) above is excessive in duration or scope or is unreasonable or unenforceable under the laws of that state, it is the intention of the parties that such restriction may be modified or amended by the court to render it enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by the law of that state.
(d)
Release; Lump Sum Payment. In the event of the Executives Involuntary Termination, if the Executive (i) reconfirms and agrees to abide by the covenants described in Section 14(a) and Section 14(b) above, (ii) executes the Release within fifty (50) days after the date of Involuntary Termination and does not revoke such Release in accordance with the terms thereof, and (iii) agrees to provide the consulting services described in Section 14(e) below, then in consideration for such covenants and consulting services, the Company shall pay the Executive, in one cash lump sum, an amount (the Consulting Payment) in cash equal to the greater of: (X) 150% of the Executives Annual Base Salary as in effect on the Date of Termination, and (Y) the Executives Annual Base Salary as in effect on the Date of Termination, plus the Executives Average Annual Bonus. Except as provided in this subsection, the Consulting Payment shall be paid on such date as is determined by the Company within the ten (10) day period commencing on the 60th day after the date of the Executives Involuntary Termination; provided, however, that if the Executive is a Specified Employee on the date of the Executives Involuntary Termination, the Consulting Payment shall be paid as provided in Section 9 hereof. The Executive shall have the right to elect to defer the Consulting Payment under the terms and conditions of the Companys Deferred Compensation Plan. Any such deferral election shall be made in accordance with Section 18(b) hereof.
(e)
Consulting. If the Executive agrees to the provisions of Section 14(d) above, then the Executive shall have the obligation to provide consulting services to the Company as an independent contractor, commencing on the Date of Termination and ending on the second anniversary of the Date of Termination (the Consulting Period). The Executive shall hold himself available at reasonable times and on reasonable notice to render such consulting services as may be so assigned to him by the Board or the Companys then Chief Executive Officer; provided, however, that unless the parties otherwise agree, the consulting services rendered by the Executive during the Consulting Period shall not exceed twenty (20) hours each month; and, provided, further, that the consulting services rendered by the Executive during the Consulting Period shall in no event exceed twenty percent (20%) of the average level of services performed by the Executive for the Company over the thirty-six (36) month period immediately preceding the Executives Separation from Service (or the full period of services to the Company, if the Executive has been providing services to the Company for less than thirty-six (36) months). The Company agrees to use its best efforts during the Consulting Period to secure the benefit of the Executives consulting services so as to minimize the interference with the Executives other activities, including requiring the performance of consulting services at the Companys offices only when such services may not be reasonably performed off-site by the Executive.
Section 15.
Legal Fees.
(a)
Reimbursement of Legal Fees. Subject to subsection (b), in the event of the Executives Separation from Service either (1) prior to a Change in Control, or (2) on or within two (2) years following a Change in Control, the Company shall reimburse the Executive for all legal fees and expenses (including but not limited to fees and expenses in connection with any arbitration) incurred by the Executive in disputing any issue arising under this Agreement relating to the Executives Separation from Service or in seeking to obtain or enforce any benefit or right provided by this Agreement.
(b)
Requirements for Reimbursement. The Company shall reimburse the Executives legal fees and expenses pursuant to subsection (a) above only to the extent the arbitrator or court determines the following: (i) the Executive disputed such issue, or sought to obtain or enforce such benefit or right, in good faith, (ii) the Executive had a reasonable basis for such claim, and (iii) in the case of subsection (a)(1) above, the Executive is the prevailing party. In addition, the Company shall reimburse such legal fees and expenses, only if such legal fees and expenses are incurred during the twenty (20) year period beginning on the date of the Executives Separation from Service. The legal fees and expenses paid to the Executive for any taxable year of the Executive shall not affect the legal fees and expenses paid to the Executive for any other taxable year of the Executive. The legal fees and expenses shall be paid to the Executive on or before the last day of the Executives taxable year following the taxable year in which the fees or expenses are incurred. The Executives right to reimbursement of legal fees and expenses shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for any other benefit. Such right to reimbursement of legal fees and expenses shall be provided in a manner that complies with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv). If the Executive is a Specified Employee on the date of the Executives Separation from Service, such right to reimbursement of legal fees and expenses shall be paid as provided in Section 10 hereof.
Section 16.

This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executives legal representatives.
(b)
Successors and Assigns of Sempra Energy. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon Sempra Energy, its successors and assigns.

Assumption. Sempra Energy shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of Sempra Energy to assume expressly and agree to perform the obligations and satisfy and discharge the liabilities of this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that Sempra Energy would have been required to perform the obligations and satisfy and discharge the liabilities under this Agreement if no such succession had taken place, and Sempra Energy shall have no further obligations and liabilities under this Agreement. Upon such assumption, references to Sempra Energy in this Agreement shall be replaced with references to such successor.
(d)
Sale of Subsidiary. In the event that (i) the Executive is employed by a direct or indirect subsidiary of Sempra Energy that is a member of the Sempra Energy Control Group, (ii) Sempra Energy, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, sells or otherwise disposes of such subsidiary, and (iii) such subsidiary ceases to be a member of the Sempra Energy Control Group, then if, on the date such subsidiary ceases to be a member of the Sempra Energy Control Group, the Executive continues in employment with such subsidiary and the Executive does not have a Separation from Service, Sempra Energy shall require such subsidiary or any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase merger, consolidation or otherwise) to such subsidiary, or the parent thereof, to assume expressly and agree to perform the obligations and satisfy and discharge the liabilities under this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that Sempra Energy would have been required to perform the obligations and satisfy and discharge the liabilities under this Agreement, if such subsidiary had not ceased to be part of the Sempra Energy Control Group, and, upon such assumption, Sempra Energy shall have no further obligations and liabilities under the Agreement. Upon such assumption, (i) references to Sempra Energy in this Agreement shall be replaced with references to such subsidiary, or such successor or parent thereof, assuming this Agreement, and (ii) subsection (b) of the definition of Cause and subsection (b) of the definition of Good Reason shall apply thereafter, as if a Change in Control had occurred on the date of such cessation.
(e)

In the event that (i) the Executive is employed by a direct or indirect subsidiary of Sempra Energy, and (ii) such subsidiary sells or otherwise disposes of substantial assets of such subsidiary to an unrelated service recipient, as determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(f)(2)(ii) (the Asset Purchaser), in a transaction described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)(4) (an Asset Sale), then if, on the date of such Asset Sale, the Executive becomes employed by the Asset Purchaser, Sempra Energy and the Asset Purchaser shall specify, in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)(4), that the Executive shall not be treated as having a Separation from Service, and Sempra Energy shall require such Asset Purchaser, or the parent thereof, to assume expressly and agree to perform the obligations and satisfy and discharge the liabilities under this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that Sempra Energy would have been required to perform the obligations and satisfy and discharge the liabilities under this Agreement, if the Asset Sale had not taken place, and, upon such assumption, Sempra Energy shall have no further obligations and liabilities under the Agreement. Upon such assumption, (i) references to Sempra Energy in this Agreement shall be replaced with references to the Asset Purchaser or the parent thereof, as applicable, and (ii) subsection (b) of the definition of Cause and subsection (b) of the definition of Good Reason shall apply thereafter, as if a Change in Control had occurred on the date of the Asset Sale.
Section 17.
Administration Prior to Change in Control. Prior to a Change in Control, the Compensation Committee shall have full and complete authority to construe and interpret the provisions of this Agreement, to determine an individuals entitlement to benefits under this Agreement, to make in its sole and absolute discretion all determinations contemplated under this Agreement, to investigate and make factual determinations necessary or advisable to administer or implement this Agreement, and to adopt such rules and procedures as it deems necessary or advisable for the administration or implementation of this Agreement. All determinations made under this Agreement by the Compensation Committee shall be final and binding on all interested persons. Prior to a Change in Control, the Compensation Committee may delegate responsibilities for the operation and administration of this Agreement to one or more officers or employees of the Company. The provisions of this Section 17 shall terminate and be of no further force and effect upon the occurrence of a Change in Control.
Section 18.
Section 409A of the Code.
(a)
Compliance with and Exemption from Section 409A of the Code. Certain payments and benefits payable under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Section 409A Payments) are intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. Certain payments and benefits payable under this Agreement are intended to be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. This Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with the applicable requirements of, and exemptions from, Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. To the extent the payments and benefits under this Agreement are subject to Section 409A of the Code, this Agreement shall be interpreted, construed and administered in a manner that satisfies the requirements of Sections 409A(a)(2), (3) and (4) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (subject to the transitional relief under Internal Revenue Service Notice 2005-1, the Proposed Regulations under Section 409A of the Code, Internal Revenue Service Notice 2006-79, Internal Revenue Service Notice 2007-78, Internal Revenue Service Notice 2007-86 and other applicable authority issued by the Internal Revenue Service). As provided in Internal Revenue Notice 2007-86, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, with respect to an election or amendment to change a time or form of payment under this Agreement made on or after January 1, 2008 and on or before December 31, 2008, the election or amendment shall apply only with respect to payments that would not otherwise be payable in 2008, and shall not cause payments to be made in 2008 that would not otherwise be payable in 2008. If the Company and the Executive determine that any compensation, benefits or other payments that are payable under this Agreement and intended to comply with Sections 409A(a)(2), (3) and (4) of the Code do not comply with Section 409A of the Code, the Treasury Regulations thereunder and other applicable authority issued by the Internal Revenue Service, to the extent permitted under Section 409A of the Code, the Treasury Regulations thereunder and any applicable authority issued by the Internal Revenue Service, the Company and the Executive agree to amend this Agreement, or take such other actions as the Company and the Executive deem reasonably necessary or appropriate, to cause such compensation, benefits and other payments to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, the Treasury Regulations thereunder and other applicable authority issued by the Internal Revenue Service, while providing compensation, benefits and other payments that are, in the aggregate, no less favorable than the compensation, benefits and other payments provided under this Agreement. In the case of any compensation, benefits or other payments that are payable under this Agreement and intended to comply with Sections 409A(a)(2), (3) and (4) of the Code, if any provision of the Agreement would cause such compensation, benefits or other payments to fail to so comply, such provision shall not be effective and shall be null and void with respect to such compensation, benefits or other payments to the extent such provision would cause a failure to comply, and such provision shall otherwise remain in full force and effect.
(b)
Deferral Elections. As provided in Sections 4(f), 5(i) and 14(d), the Executive may elect to defer the Pre-Change in Control Severance Payment, the Post-Change in Control Severance Payment and the Consulting Payment as follows. The Executives deferral election shall satisfy the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b) and the terms and conditions of the Deferred Compensation Plan. Such deferral election shall designate the whole percentage (up to a maximum of 100%) of the Pre-Change in Control Severance Payment, the Post-Change in Control Severance Payment and the Consulting Payment to be deferred, shall be irrevocable when made, and shall not take effect until at least twelve (12) months after the date on which the election is made. Such deferral election shall provide that the amount deferred shall be deferred for a period of not less than five (5) years from the date the payment of the amount deferred would otherwise have been made, in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(1)(ii).
Section 19.

EXHIBIT A
GENERAL RELEASE
This GENERAL RELEASE (the Agreement), dated ___________, is made by and between ______________________________, a California corporation (the Company) and ___________________________ (you or your).
WHEREAS, you and the Company have previously entered into that certain Severance Pay Agreement dated ____________, 20___ (the Severance Pay Agreement); and
WHEREAS, your right to receive certain severance pay and benefits pursuant to the terms of Section 4 or Section 5 of the Severance Pay Agreement, as applicable, are subject to and conditioned upon your execution and non-revocation of a general release of claims by you against the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates.
WHEREAS, your right to receive the Consulting Payment provided pursuant to Section 14(d) of the Severance Pay Agreement is subject to and conditioned upon your execution and non-revocation of a general release of claims by you against the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates; and your adherence to the covenants described under Section 14 of the Severance Pay Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants herein contained, you and the Company hereby agree as follows:
ONE: Your signing of this Agreement confirms that your employment with the Company shall terminate at the close of business on ____________, or earlier upon our mutual agreement.
TWO: As a material inducement for the payment of the severance and benefit under the Severance Pay Agreement, and except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, you and the Company hereby irrevocably and unconditionally release, acquit and forever discharge the other from any and all Claims either may have against the other. For purposes of this Agreement and the preceding sentence, the words Releasee or Releasees and Claim or Claims shall have the meanings set forth below:
(a)
The words Releasee or Releasees shall refer to you and to the Company and each of the Companys owners, stockholders, predecessors, successors, assigns, agents, directors, officers, employees, representatives, attorneys, advisors, parent companies, divisions, subsidiaries, affiliates (and agents, directors, officers, employees, representatives, attorneys and advisors of such parent companies, divisions, subsidiaries and affiliates) and all persons acting by, through, under or in concert with any of them.
(b)
The words Claim or Claims shall refer to any charges, complaints, claims, liabilities, obligations, promises, agreements, controversies, damages, actions, causes of action, suits, rights, demands, costs, losses, debts and expenses (including attorneys fees and costs actually incurred) of any nature whatsoever, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, which you or the Company now, in the past or, in the future may have, own or hold against any of the Releasees; provided, however, that the word Claim or Claims shall not refer to any charges, complaints, claims, liabilities, obligations, promises, agreements, controversies, damages, actions, causes of action, suits, rights, demands, costs, losses, debts and expenses (including attorneys fees and costs actually incurred) arising under [identify severance, employee benefits, stock option, indemnification and D&O and other agreements containing duties, rights obligations etc. of either party that are to remain operative]. Claims released pursuant to this Agreement by you and the Company include, but are not limited to, rights arising out of alleged violations of any contracts, express or implied, any tort, claim, any claim that you failed to perform or negligently performed or breached your duties during employment at the Company, any legal restrictions on the Companys right to terminate employment relationships; and any federal, state or other governmental statute, regulation, or ordinance, governing the employment relationship including, without limitation, all state and federal laws and regulations prohibiting discrimination based on protected categories, and all state and federal laws and regulations prohibiting retaliation against employees for engaging in protected activity or legal off-duty conduct. This release does not extend to claims for workers compensation or other claims which by law may not be waived or released by this Agreement.
THREE: You and the Company expressly waive and relinquish all rights and benefits afforded by any statute (including but not limited to Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California and analogous laws of other states) which limits the effect of a release with respect to unknown claims. You and the Company do so understanding and acknowledging the significance of the release of unknown claims and the waiver of statutory protection against a release of unknown claims (including but not limited to Section 1542 and analogous laws of other states). Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California states as follows:
A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.
Thus, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1542 or of any similar statute, and for the purpose of implementing a full and complete release and discharge of the Releasees, you and the Company expressly acknowledge that this Agreement is intended to include in its effect, without limitation, all Claims which are known and all Claims which you or the Company do not know or suspect to exist in your or the Companys favor at the time of execution of this Agreement and that this Agreement contemplates the extinguishment of all such Claims.
FOUR: The parties acknowledge that they might hereafter discover facts different from, or in addition to, those they now know or believe to be true with respect to a Claim or Claims released herein, and they expressly agree to assume the risk of possible discovery of additional or different facts, and agree that this Agreement shall be and remain effective, in all respects, regardless of such additional or different discovered facts.
FIVE: You hereby represent and acknowledge that you have not filed any Claim of any kind against the Company or others released in this Agreement. You further hereby expressly agree never to initiate against the Company or others released in this Agreement any administrative proceeding, lawsuit or any other legal or equitable proceeding of any kind asserting any Claims that are released in this Agreement. You agree that you will not be entitled to any monetary recovery that may result from any agency action against the Company related to the Claims released by this Agreement.
The Company hereby represents and acknowledges that it has not filed any Claim of any kind against you or others released in this Agreement. The Company further hereby expressly agrees never to initiate against you or others released in this Agreement any administrative proceeding, lawsuit or any other legal or equitable proceeding of any kind asserting any Claims that are released in this Agreement.
SIX: You hereby represent and agree that you have not assigned or transferred, or attempted to have assigned or transfer, to any person or entity, any of the Claims that you are releasing in this Agreement.
The Company hereby represents and agrees that it has not assigned or transferred, or attempted to have assigned or transfer, to any person or entity, any of the Claims that it is releasing in this Agreement.
SEVEN: As a further material inducement to the Company to enter into this Agreement, you hereby agree to indemnify and hold each of the Releasees harmless from all loss, costs, damages, or expenses, including without limitation, attorneys fees incurred by the Releasees, arising out of any breach of this Agreement by you or the fact that any representation made in this Agreement by you was false when made.
As a further material inducement to you to enter into this Agreement, the Company hereby agrees to indemnify and hold each of the Releasees harmless from all loss, costs, damages, or expenses, including without limitation, attorneys fees incurred by the Releasees, arising out of any breach of this Agreement by it or the fact that any representation made in this Agreement by it was knowingly false when made.
EIGHT: You and the Company represent and acknowledge that in executing this Agreement, neither is relying upon any representation or statement not set forth in this Agreement or the Severance Agreement.
NINE: (a)
This Agreement shall not in any way be construed as an admission by the Company that it has acted wrongfully with respect to you or any other person, or that you have any rights whatsoever against the Company, and the Company specifically disclaims any liability to or wrongful acts against you or any other person, on the part of itself, its employees or its agents. This Agreement shall not in any way be construed as an admission by you that you have acted wrongfully with respect to the Company, or that you failed to perform your duties or negligently performed or breached your duties, or that the Company had good cause to terminate your employment.
(b)
If you are a party or are threatened to be made a party to any proceeding by reason of the fact that you were an officer or director of the Company, the Company shall indemnify you against any expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees; provided, that counsel has been approved by the Company prior to retention, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts actually or reasonably incurred by you in connection with that proceeding; provided, that you acted in good faith and in a manner you reasonably believed to be in the best interest of the Company. The limitations of California Corporations Code Section 317 shall apply to this assurance of indemnification.
(c)
You agree to cooperate with the Company and its designated attorneys, representatives and agents in connection with any actual or threatened judicial, administrative or other legal or equitable proceeding in which the Company is or may become involved. Upon reasonable notice, you agree to meet with and provide to the Company or its designated attorneys, representatives or agents all information and knowledge you have relating to the subject matter of any such proceeding. The Company agrees to reimburse you for any reasonable costs you incur in providing such cooperation.
TEN: This Agreement is entered into in California and shall be governed by substantive California law, except as provided in this section. If any dispute arises between you and the Company, including but not limited to, disputes relating to this Agreement, or if you prosecute a claim you purported to release by means of this Agreement (Arbitrable Dispute), you and the Company agree to resolve that Arbitrable Dispute through final and binding arbitration under this section. You also agree to arbitrate any Arbitrable Dispute which also involves any other released party who offers or agrees to arbitrate the dispute under this section. Your agreement to arbitrate applies, for example, to disputes about the validity, interpretation, or effect of this Agreement or alleged violations of it, claims of discrimination under federal or state law, or other statutory violation claims.
As to any Arbitrable Dispute, you and the Company waive any right to a jury trial or a court bench trial. You and the Company also waive the right to bring, maintain, or participate in any class, collective, or representative proceeding, whether in arbitration or otherwise. Further, Arbitrable Disputes must be brought in the individual capacity of the party asserting the claim, and cannot be maintained on a class, collective, or representative basis.
Arbitration shall take place in San Diego, California under the employment dispute resolution rules of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Service (JAMS), (or, if you are employed outside of California at the time of the termination of your employment, at the nearest location of the American Arbitration Association and in accordance with the AAA rules), before an experienced employment arbitrator selected in accordance with those rules. The arbitrator may not modify or change this Agreement in any way. The Company will be responsible for paying any filing fee and the fees and costs of the Arbitrator; provided, however, that if you are the party initiating the claim, you will contribute an amount equal to the filing fee to initiate a claim in the court of general jurisdiction in the state in which you are employed by the Company. Each party shall pay for its own costs and attorneys fees, if any. However if any party prevails on a statutory claim which affords the prevailing party attorneys fees and costs, or if there is a written agreement providing for attorneys fees and/or costs, the Arbitrator may award reasonable attorneys fees and/or costs to the prevailing party, applying the same standards a court would apply under the law applicable to the claim. The Arbitrator shall apply the Federal Rules of Evidence and shall have the authority to entertain a motion to dismiss or a motion for summary judgment by any party and shall apply the standards governing such motions under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The Federal Arbitration Act shall govern the arbitration and shall govern the interpretation or enforcement of this section or any arbitration award. The arbitrator will not have the authority to consider, certify, or hear an arbitration as a class action, collective action, or any other type of representative action.
To the extent that the Federal Arbitration Act is inapplicable, California law pertaining to arbitration agreements shall apply. Arbitration in this manner shall be the exclusive remedy for any Arbitrable Dispute. Except as prohibited by the ADEA, should you or the Company attempt to resolve an Arbitrable Dispute by any method other than arbitration pursuant to this section, the responding party will be entitled to recover from the initiating party all damages, expenses, and attorneys fees incurred as a result of this breach. This Section TEN supersedes any existing arbitration agreement between the Company and me as to any Arbitrable Dispute. Notwithstanding anything in this Section TEN to the contrary, a claim for benefits under an ERISA-covered plan shall not be an Arbitrable Dispute.
ELEVEN: Both you and the Company understand that this Agreement is final and binding eight (8) days after its execution and return. Should you nevertheless attempt to challenge the enforceability of this Agreement as provided in Paragraph TEN or, in violation of that Paragraph, through litigation, as a further limitation on any right to make such a challenge, you shall initially tender to the Company, by certified check delivered to the Company, all monies received pursuant to Sections 4 or 5 of the Severance Pay Agreement, as applicable, plus interest, and invite the Company to retain such monies and agree with you to cancel this Agreement and void the Companys obligations under Section 14(d) of the Severance Pay Agreement. In the event the Company accepts this offer, the Company shall retain such monies and this Agreement shall be canceled and the Company shall have no obligation under the Severance Pay Agreement. In the event the Company does not accept such offer, the Company shall so notify you and shall place such monies in an interest-bearing escrow account pending resolution of the dispute between you and the Company as to whether or not this Agreement and the Companys obligations under the Severance Pay Agreement shall be set aside and/or otherwise rendered voidable or unenforceable. Additionally, any consulting agreement then in effect between you and the Company shall be immediately rescinded with no requirement of notice.
TWELVE: Any notices required to be given under this Agreement shall be delivered either personally or by first class United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the respective parties as follows:
To Company:

Attn: [TO COME]

You are encouraged, at your personal expense, to consult with an attorney before signing this Agreement. You understand and acknowledge that whether or not you do so is your decision. You may revoke this Agreement within seven (7) days of signing it. If you wish to revoke, the Companys Vice President, Human Resources must receive written notice from you no later than the close of business on the seventh (7th) day after you have signed the Agreement. If revoked, this Agreement shall not be effective and enforceable, and you will not receive payments or benefits under Sections 4 or 5, and Section 14 of the Severance Pay Agreement, as applicable.
FOURTEEN: This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties hereto and supersedes any and all other agreements (except the Severance Pay Agreement) with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, whether written or oral, between you and the Company. All modifications and amendments to this Agreement must be in writing and signed by the parties.
FIFTEEN: Each party agrees, without further consideration, to sign or cause to be signed, and to deliver to the other party, any other documents and to take any other action as may be necessary to fulfill the obligations under this Agreement.
SIXTEEN: If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof is held invalid, the invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications of the Agreement which can be given effect without the invalid provisions or application; and to this end the provisions of this Agreement are declared to be severable.
SEVENTEEN: This Agreement may be executed in counterparts.
I have read the foregoing General Release, and I accept and agree to the provisions it contains and hereby execute it voluntarily and with full understanding of its consequences. I am aware it includes a release of all known or unknown claims.

If the Executive has a Separation from Service by reason of death or Disability, the Company shall pay the Executive or his estate, as the case may be, the Post-Change in Control Accrued Obligations (without regard to whether a Change in Control has occurred) and any amounts or benefits described in Section 11 hereof. Such payments shall be in addition to those rights and benefits to which the Executive or his estate may be entitled under the relevant Company plans or programs. Such payments shall be paid on such date as determined by the Company within thirty (30) days after the date of the Separation from Service; provided, however, that if the Executive is a Specified Employee on the date of the Executives Separation from Service by reason of Disability, the Additional Post-Change in Control Severance Payment under Section 6(a)(E) shall be paid as provided in Section 10 hereof.
Section 9.
Limitations on Payments by the Company.
(a)
Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding and except as set forth in this Section 9 below, in the event it shall be determined that any payment or distribution in the nature of compensation (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code) to or for the benefit of the Executive, whether paid or payable pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise (the Payment) would be subject (in whole or in part) to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, (the Excise Tax), then, subject to subsection (b), the Pre-Change in Control Severance Benefit or the Post-Change in Control Severance Payment (whichever is applicable) payable under this Agreement shall be reduced under this subsection (a) to the amount equal to the Reduced Payment. For such Payment payable under this Agreement, the Reduced Payment shall be the amount equal to the greatest portion of the Payment (which may be zero) that, if paid, would result in no portion of any Payment being subject to the Excise Tax.
(b)
The Pre-Change in Control Severance Benefit or the Post-Change in Control Severance Payment (whichever is applicable) payable under this Agreement shall not be reduced under subsection (a) if:
(i)
such reduction in such Payment is not sufficient to cause no portion of any Payment to be subject to the Excise Tax, or
(ii)
the Net After-Tax Unreduced Payments (as defined below) would equal or exceed one hundred and five percent (105%) of the Net After-Tax Reduced Payments (as defined below).
For purposes of determining the amount of any Reduced Payment under subsection (a), and the Net-After Tax Reduced Payments and the Net After-Tax Unreduced Payments, the Executive shall be considered to pay federal, state and local income and employment taxes at the Executives applicable marginal rates taking into consideration any reduction in federal income taxes which could be obtained from the deduction of state and local income taxes, and any reduction or disallowance of itemized deductions and personal exemptions under applicable tax law). The applicable federal, state and local income and employment taxes and the Excise Tax (to the extent applicable) are collectively referred to as the Taxes.
(c)
The following definitions shall apply for purposes of this Section 9:
(i)
Net After-Tax Reduced Payments shall mean the total amount of all Payments that the Executive would retain, on a Net After-Tax Basis, in the event that the Payments payable under this Agreement are reduced pursuant to subsection (a).
(ii)
Net After-Tax Unreduced Payments shall mean the total amount of all Payments that the Executive would retain, on a Net After-Tax Basis, in the event that the Payments payable under this Agreement are not reduced pursuant to subsection (a).
(iii)
Net After-Tax Basis shall mean, with respect to the Payments, either with or without reduction under subsection (a) (as applicable), the amount that would be retained by the Executive from such Payments after the payment of all Taxes.
(d)
All determinations required to be made under this Section 9 and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determinations, shall be made by a nationally recognized accounting firm as may be agreed by the Company and the Executive (the Accounting Firm); provided, that the Accounting Firms determination shall be made based upon substantial authority within the meaning of Section 6662 of the Code. The Accounting Firm shall provide detailed supporting calculations to both the Company and the Executive within fifteen (15) business days of the receipt of notice from the Executive that there has been a Payment or such earlier time as is requested by the Company. All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Executive. For purposes of determining whether and the extent to which the Payments will be subject to the Excise Tax, (i) no portion of the Payments the receipt or enjoyment of which the Executive shall have waived at such time and in such manner as not to constitute a payment within the meaning of Section 280G(b) of the Code shall be taken into account, (ii) no portion of the Payments shall be taken into account which, in the written opinion of the Accounting Firm, does not constitute a parachute payment within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code (including by reason of Section 280G(b)(4)(A) of the Code) and, in calculating the Excise Tax, no portion of such Payments shall be taken into account which, in the opinion of the Accounting Firm, constitutes reasonable compensation for services actually rendered, within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(4)(B) of the Code, in excess of the base amount (as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) allocable to such reasonable compensation, and (iii) the value of any non-cash benefit or any deferred payment or benefit included in the Payments shall be determined by the Accounting Firm in accordance with the principles of Sections 280G(d)(3) and (4) of the Code.
Section 10.
Delayed Distribution under Section 409A of the Code. If the Executive is a Specified Employee on the date of the Executives Involuntary Termination (or on the date of the Executives Separation from Service by reason of Disability), the Section 409A Payments, and any other payments or benefits under this Agreement subject to Section 409A of the Code, shall be delayed in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, and such payments or benefits shall be paid or distributed to the Executive during the thirty (30) day period commencing on the earlier of (a) the expiration of the six-month period measured from the date of the Executives Separation from Service or (b) the date of the Executives death. Upon the expiration of the applicable six-month period under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, all payments deferred pursuant to this Section 10 (excluding in-kind benefits) shall be paid in a lump sum payment to the Executive, plus interest thereon from the date of the Executives Involuntary Termination through the payment date at an annual rate equal to Moodys Rate. The Moodys Rate shall mean the average of the daily Moodys Corporate Bond Yield Average Monthly Average Corporates as published by Moodys Investors Service, Inc. (or any successor) for the month next preceding the Date of Termination. Any remaining payments due under the Agreement shall be paid as otherwise provided herein.
Section 11.
Nonexclusivity of Rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit the Executives continuing or future participation in any benefit, plan, program, policy or practice provided by the Company and for which the Executive may qualify (except with respect to any benefit to which the Executive has waived his rights in writing), including, without limitation, any and all indemnification arrangements in favor of the Executive (whether under agreements or under the Companys charter documents or otherwise), and insurance policies covering the Executive, nor shall anything herein limit or otherwise affect such rights as the Executive may have under any other contract or agreement entered into after the Effective Date with the Company. Amounts which are vested benefits or which the Executive is otherwise entitled to receive under any benefit, plan, policy, practice or program of, or any contract or agreement entered into with, the Company shall be payable in accordance with such benefit, plan, policy, practice or program or contract or agreement except as explicitly modified by this Agreement. At all times during the Executives employment with the Company and thereafter, the Company shall provide (to the extent permissible under applicable law) the Executive with indemnification and D&O insurance insuring the Executive against insurable events which occur or have occurred while the Executive was a director or the Executive officer of the Company, on terms and conditions that are at least as generous as that then provided to any other current or former director or the Executive officer of the Company or any Affiliate. Such indemnification and D&O insurance shall be provided in a manner that complies with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(10).
Section 12.
Full Settlement; Mitigation. The Companys obligation to make the payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other claim, right or action which the Company may have against the Executive or others, provided that nothing herein shall preclude the Company from separately pursuing recovery from the Executive based on any such claim. In no event shall the Executive be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts (including amounts for damages for breach) payable to the Executive under any of the provisions of this Agreement, and such amounts shall not be reduced whether or not the Executive obtains other employment.
Section 13.
Dispute Resolution.
Any disagreement, dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the interpretation of this Agreement or any arrangements relating to this Agreement or contemplated in this Agreement or the breach, termination or invalidity thereof shall be settled by final and binding arbitration administered by JAMS in San Diego, California in accordance with the then existing JAMS arbitration rules applicable to employment disputes (the JAMS Rules); provided that, notwithstanding any provision in such rules to the contrary, in all cases the parties shall be entitled to reasonable discovery. In the event of such an arbitration proceeding, the Executive and the Company shall select a mutually acceptable neutral arbitrator from among the JAMS panel of arbitrators. In the event the Executive and the Company cannot agree on an arbitrator, the arbitrator shall be selected in accordance with the then existing JAMS Rules. Neither the Executive nor the Company nor the arbitrator shall disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of all parties, except to the extent necessary to enforce any arbitration award in a court of competent jurisdiction. Except as provided herein, the Federal Arbitration Act shall govern the interpretation of, enforcement of and all proceedings under this agreement to arbitrate. The arbitrator shall apply the substantive law (and the law of remedies, if applicable) of the state of California, or federal law, or both, as applicable, and the arbitrator is without jurisdiction to apply any different substantive law. The arbitrator shall have the authority to entertain a motion to dismiss and/or a motion for summary judgment by any party and shall apply the standards governing such motions under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The arbitrator shall render an award and a written, reasoned opinion in support thereof. Judgment upon the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The Executive shall not be required to pay any arbitration fee or cost that is unique to arbitration or greater than any amount he would be required to pay to pursue his claims in a court of competent jurisdiction.
Section 14.
Executives Covenants.
(a)
Confidentiality. The Executive acknowledges that in the course of his employment with the Company, he has acquired non-public privileged or confidential information and trade secrets concerning the operations, future plans and methods of doing business (Proprietary Information) of the Company and its Affiliates; and the Executive agrees that it would be extremely damaging to the Company and its Affiliates if such Proprietary Information were disclosed to a competitor of the Company and its Affiliates or to any other person or corporation. The Executive understands and agrees that all Proprietary Information has been divulged to the Executive in confidence and further understands and agrees to keep all Proprietary Information secret and confidential (except for such information which is or becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach by the Executive of this provision or information the Executive is required by any governmental, administrative or court order to disclose) without limitation in time. In view of the nature of the Executives employment and the Proprietary Information the Executive has acquired during the course of such employment, the Executive likewise agrees that the Company and its Affiliates would be irreparably harmed by any disclosure of Proprietary Information in violation of the terms of this paragraph and that the Company and its Affiliates shall therefore be entitled to preliminary and/or permanent injunctive relief prohibiting the Executive from engaging in any activity or threatened activity in violation of the terms of this paragraph and to any other relief available to them. Inquiries regarding whether specific information constitutes Proprietary Information shall be directed to the Companys Senior Vice President, Public Policy (or, if such position is vacant, the Companys then Chief Executive Officer); provided, that the Company shall not unreasonably classify information as Proprietary Information.
(b)
Non-Solicitation of Employees. The Executive recognizes that he possesses and will possess confidential information about other employees of the Company and its Affiliates relating to their education, experience, skills, abilities, compensation and benefits, and inter-personal relationships with customers of the Company and its Affiliates. The Executive recognizes that the information he possesses and will possess about these other employees is not generally known, is of substantial value to the Company and its Affiliates in developing their business and in securing and retaining customers, and has been and will be acquired by him because of his business position with the Company and its Affiliates. The Executive agrees that at all times during the Executives employment with the Company and for a period of one (1) year thereafter, he will not, directly or indirectly, solicit or recruit any employee of the Company or its Affiliates for the purpose of being employed by him or by any competitor of the Company or its Affiliates on whose behalf he is acting as an agent, representative or employee and that he will not convey any such confidential information or trade secrets about other employees of the Company and its Affiliates to any other person; provided, however, that it shall not constitute a solicitation or recruitment of employment in violation of this paragraph to discuss employment opportunities with any employee of the Company or its Affiliates who has either first contacted the Executive or regarding whose employment the Executive has discussed with and received the written approval of the Companys Vice President, Human Resources (or, if such position is vacant, the Companys then Chief Executive Officer), prior to making such solicitation or recruitment. In view of the nature of the Executives employment with the Company, the Executive likewise agrees that the Company and its Affiliates would be irreparably harmed by any solicitation or recruitment in violation of the terms of this paragraph and that the Company and its Affiliates shall therefore be entitled to preliminary and/or permanent injunctive relief prohibiting the Executive from engaging in any activity or threatened activity in violation of the terms of this paragraph and to any other relief available to them.
(c)
Survival of Provisions. The obligations contained in Section 14(a) and Section 14(b) above shall survive the termination of the Executives employment within the Company and shall be fully enforceable thereafter. If it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in any state that any restriction in Section 14(a) or Section 14(b) above is excessive in duration or scope or is unreasonable or unenforceable under the laws of that state, it is the intention of the parties that such restriction may be modified or amended by the court to render it enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by the law of that state.
(d)
Release; Lump Sum Payment. In the event of the Executives Involuntary Termination, if the Executive (i) agrees to the covenants described in Section 14(a) and Section 14(b) above, (ii) executes a release (the Release) of all claims substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A within fifty (50) days after the date of Involuntary Termination and does not revoke such Release in accordance with the terms thereof, and (iii) agrees to provide the consulting services described in Section 14(e) below, then in consideration for such covenants, the Company shall pay the Executive, in one cash lump sum, an amount (the Consulting Payment) in cash equal to the greater of: (X) 150% of the Executives Annual Base Salary as in effect on the Date of Termination, and (Y) the Executives Annual Base Salary as in effect on the Date of Termination, plus the Executives Average Annual Bonus. Except as provided in this subsection, the Consulting Payment shall be paid on such date as is determined by the Company within the ten (10) day period commencing on the 60th day after the date of the Executives Involuntary Termination; provided, however, that if the Executive is a Specified Employee on the date of the Executives Involuntary Termination, the Consulting Payment shall be paid as provided in Section 10 hereof. The Executive shall have the right to elect to defer the Consulting Payment under the terms and conditions of the Companys Deferred Compensation Plan. Any such deferral election shall be made in accordance with Section 18(b) hereof.
(e)
Consulting. If the Executive agrees to the covenants described in Section 14(d) above, then the Executive shall have the obligation to provide consulting services to the Company as an independent contractor, commencing on the Date of Termination and ending on the second anniversary of the Date of Termination (the Consulting Period). The Executive shall hold himself available at reasonable times and on reasonable notice to render such consulting services as may be so assigned to him by the Board or the Companys then Chief Executive Officer; provided, however, that unless the parties otherwise agree, the consulting services rendered by the Executive during the Consulting Period shall not exceed twenty (20) hours each month; and, provided, further, that the consulting services rendered by the Executive during the Consulting Period shall in no event exceed twenty percent (20%) of the average level of services performed by the Executive for the Company over the thirty-six (36) month period immediately preceding the Executives Separation from Service (or the full period of services to the Company, if the Executive has been providing services to the Company for less than thirty-six (36) months). The Company agrees to use its best efforts during the Consulting Period to secure the benefit of the Executives consulting services so as to minimize the interference with the Executives other activities, including requiring the performance of consulting services at the Companys offices only when such services may not be reasonably performed off-site by the Executive.
Section 15.
Legal Fees.
(a)
Reimbursement of Legal Fees. Subject to subsection (b), in the event of the Executives Separation from Service either (1) prior to a Change in Control, or (2) on or within two (2) years following a Change in Control, the Company shall reimburse the Executive for all legal fees and expenses (including but not limited to fees and expenses in connection with any arbitration) incurred by the Executive in disputing any issue arising under this Agreement relating to the Executives Separation from Service or in seeking to obtain or enforce any benefit or right provided by this Agreement.
(b)
Requirements for Reimbursement. The Company shall reimburse the Executives legal fees and expenses pursuant to subsection (a) above only to the extent the arbitrator or court determines the following: (i) the Executive disputed such issue, or sought to obtain or enforce such benefit or right, in good faith, (ii) the Executive had a reasonable basis for such claim, and (iii) in the case of subsection (a)(1) above, the Executive is the prevailing party. In addition, the Company shall reimburse such legal fees and expenses, only if such legal fees and expenses are incurred during the twenty (20) year period beginning on the date of the Executives Separation from Service. The legal fees and expenses paid to the Executive for any taxable year of the Executive shall not affect the legal fees and expenses paid to the Executive for any other taxable year of the Executive. The legal fees and expenses shall be paid to the Executive on or before the last day of the Executives taxable year following the taxable year in which the fees or expenses are incurred. The Executives right to reimbursement of legal fees and expenses shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for any other benefit. Such right to reimbursement of legal fees and expenses shall be provided in a manner that complies with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv). If the Executive is a Specified Employee on the date of the Executives Separation from Service, such right to reimbursement of legal fees and expenses shall be paid as provided in Section 10 hereof.
Section 16.
Successors.
(a)
Assignment by the Executive. This Agreement is personal to the Executive and without the prior written consent of Sempra Energy shall not be assignable by the Executive otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executives legal representatives.
(b)
Successors and Assigns of Sempra Energy. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon Sempra Energy, its successors and assigns. Sempra Energy may not assign this Agreement to any person or entity (except for a successor described in Section 16(c), (d) or (e) below) without the Executives written consent.
(c)
Assumption. Sempra Energy shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of Sempra Energy to assume expressly and agree to perform the obligations and satisfy and discharge the liabilities of this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that Sempra Energy would have been required to perform the obligations and satisfy and discharge the liabilities under this Agreement if no such succession had taken place, and Sempra Energy shall have no further obligations and liabilities under this Agreement. Upon such assumption, references to Sempra Energy in this Agreement shall be replaced with references to such successor.
(d)
Sale of Subsidiary. In the event that (i) the Executive is employed by a direct or indirect subsidiary of Sempra Energy that is a member of the Sempra Energy Control Group, (ii) Sempra Energy, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, sells or otherwise disposes of such subsidiary, and (iii) such subsidiary ceases to be a member of the Sempra Energy Control Group, then if, on the date such subsidiary ceases to be a member of the Sempra Energy Control Group, the Executive continues in employment with such subsidiary and the Executive does not have a Separation from Service, Sempra Energy shall require such subsidiary or any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase merger, consolidation or otherwise) to such subsidiary, or the parent thereof, to assume expressly and agree to perform the obligations and satisfy and discharge the liabilities under this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that Sempra Energy would have been required to perform the obligations and satisfy and discharge the liabilities under this Agreement, if such subsidiary had not ceased to be part of the Sempra Energy Control Group, and, upon such assumption, Sempra Energy shall have no further obligations and liabilities under the Agreement. Upon such assumption, (i) references to Sempra Energy in this Agreement shall be replaced with references to such subsidiary, or such successor or parent thereof, assuming this Agreement, and (ii) subsection (b) of the definition of Cause and subsection (b) of the definition of Good Reason shall apply thereafter, as if a Change in Control had occurred on the date of such cessation.
(e)
Sale of Assets of Subsidiary. In the event that (i) the Executive is employed by a direct or indirect subsidiary of Sempra Energy, and (ii) such subsidiary sells or otherwise disposes of substantial assets of such subsidiary to an unrelated service recipient, as determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(f)(2)(ii) (the Asset Purchaser), in a transaction described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)(4) (an Asset Sale), then if, on the date of such Asset Sale, the Executive becomes employed by the Asset Purchaser, Sempra Energy and the Asset Purchaser shall specify, in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)(4), that the Executive shall not be treated as having a Separation from Service, and Sempra Energy shall require such Asset Purchaser, or the parent thereof, to assume expressly and agree to perform the obligations and satisfy and discharge the liabilities under this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that Sempra Energy would have been required to perform the obligations and satisfy and discharge the liabilities under this Agreement, if the Asset Sale had not taken place, and, upon such assumption, Sempra Energy shall have no further obligations and liabilities under the Agreement. Upon such assumption, (i) references to Sempra Energy in this Agreement shall be replaced with references to the Asset Purchaser or the parent thereof, as applicable, and (ii) subsection (b) of the definition of Cause and subsection (b) of the definition of Good Reason shall apply thereafter, as if a Change in Control had occurred on the date of the Asset Sale.
Section 17.
Administration Prior to Change in Control. Prior to a Change in Control, the Compensation Committee shall have full and complete authority to construe and interpret the provisions of this Agreement, to determine an individuals entitlement to benefits under this Agreement, to make in its sole and absolute discretion all determinations contemplated under this Agreement, to investigate and make factual determinations necessary or advisable to administer or implement this Agreement, and to adopt such rules and procedures as it deems necessary or advisable for the administration or implementation of this Agreement. All determinations made under this Agreement by the Compensation Committee shall be final and binding on all interested persons. Prior to a Change in Control, the Compensation Committee may delegate responsibilities for the operation and administration of this Agreement to one or more officers or employees of the Company. The provisions of this Section 17 shall terminate and be of no further force and effect upon the occurrence of a Change in Control.
Section 18.
Section 409A of the Code.
(a)
Compliance with and Exemption from Section 409A of the Code. Certain payments and benefits payable under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Section 409A Payments) are intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. Certain payments and benefits payable under this Agreement are intended to be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. This Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with the applicable requirements of, and exemptions from, Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. To the extent the payments and benefits under this Agreement are subject to Section 409A of the Code, this Agreement shall be interpreted, construed and administered in a manner that satisfies the requirements of Sections 409A(a)(2), (3) and (4) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (subject to the transitional relief under Internal Revenue Service Notice 2005-1, the Proposed Regulations under Section 409A of the Code, Internal Revenue Service Notice 2006-79, Internal Revenue Service Notice 2007-78, Internal Revenue Service Notice 2007-86 and other applicable authority issued by the Internal Revenue Service). As provided in Internal Revenue Notice 2007-86, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, with respect to an election or amendment to change a time or form of payment under this Agreement made on or after January 1, 2008 and on or before December 31, 2008, the election or amendment shall apply only with respect to payments that would not otherwise be payable in 2008, and shall not cause payments to be made in 2008 that would not otherwise be payable in 2008. If the Company and the Executive determine that any compensation, benefits or other payments that are payable under this Agreement and intended to comply with Sections 409A(a)(2), (3) and (4) of the Code do not comply with Section 409A of the Code, the Treasury Regulations thereunder and other applicable authority issued by the Internal Revenue Service, to the extent permitted under Section 409A of the Code, the Treasury Regulations thereunder and any applicable authority issued by the Internal Revenue Service, the Company and the Executive agree to amend this Agreement, or take such other actions as the Company and the Executive deem reasonably necessary or appropriate, to cause such compensation, benefits and other payments to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, the Treasury Regulations thereunder and other applicable authority issued by the Internal Revenue Service, while providing compensation, benefits and other payments that are, in the aggregate, no less favorable than the compensation, benefits and other payments provided under this Agreement. In the case of any compensation, benefits or other payments that are payable under this Agreement and intended to comply with Sections 409A(a)(2), (3) and (4) of the Code, if any provision of the Agreement would cause such compensation, benefits or other payments to fail to so comply, such provision shall not be effective and shall be null and void with respect to such compensation, benefits or other payments to the extent such provision would cause a failure to comply, and such provision shall otherwise remain in full force and effect.
(b)
Deferral Elections. As provided in Sections 5(f), 6(h) and 14(d), the Executive may elect to defer the Pre-Change in Control Severance Payment, the Post-Change in Control Severance Payment and the Consulting Payment as follows. The Executives deferral election shall satisfy the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b) and the terms and conditions of the Deferred Compensation Plan. Such deferral election shall designate the whole percentage (up to a maximum of 100%) of the Pre-Change in Control Severance Payment, the Post-Change in Control Severance Payment and the Consulting Payment to be deferred, shall be irrevocable when made, and shall not take effect until at least twelve (12) months after the date on which the election is made. Such deferral election shall provide that the amount deferred shall be deferred for a period of not less than five (5) years from the date the payment of the amount deferred would otherwise have been made, in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(1)(ii).
Section 19.

(e)
No Waiver. The Executives or the Companys failure to insist upon strict compliance with any provision hereof or any other provision of this Agreement or the failure to assert any right the Executive or the Company may have hereunder, including, without limitation, the right of the Executive to terminate employment for Good Reason pursuant to Section 1 hereof, or the right of the Company to terminate the Executives employment for Cause pursuant to Section 1 hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such provision or right or any other provision or right of this Agreement.
(f)
Entire Agreement; Exclusive Benefit; Supersession of Prior Agreement. This instrument contains the entire agreement of the Executive, the Company or any predecessor or subsidiary thereof with respect to any severance or termination pay.

(h)
Unfunded Obligation. The obligations under this Agreement shall be unfunded. Benefits payable under this Agreement shall be paid from the general assets of the Company. The Company shall have no obligation to establish any fund or to set aside any assets to provide benefits under this Agreement.
(i)
Termination upon Sale of Assets of Subsidiary. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, this Agreement shall automatically terminate and be of no further force and effect and no benefits shall be payable hereunder in the event that (i) the Executive is employed by a direct or indirect subsidiary of Sempra Energy, and (ii) an Asset Sale (as defined in Section 16(e)) occurs (other than such a sale or disposition which is part of a transaction or series of transactions which would result in a Change in Control), and (iii) as a result of such Asset Sale, the Executive is offered employment by the Asset Purchaser in an executive position with reasonably comparable status, compensation, benefits and severance agreement (including the assumption of this Agreement in accordance with Section 16(e)) and which is consistent with the Executives experience and education, but the Executive declines to accept such offer and the Executive fails to become employed by the Asset Purchaser on the date of the Asset Sale.
(j)
Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue until the third (3rd) anniversary of the Effective Date; provided, however, that commencing on the second (2nd) anniversary of the Effective Date (and each anniversary of the Effective Date thereafter), the term of this Agreement shall automatically be extended for one (1) additional year, unless at least ninety (90) days prior to such date, the Company or the Executive shall give written notice to the other party that it or he, as the case may be, does not wish to so extend this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company gives such written notice to the Executive less than two (2) years after a Change in Control, the term of this Agreement shall be automatically extended until the later of (A) the date that is one (1) year after the anniversary of the Effective Date that follows such written notice or (B) the second (2nd) anniversary of the Change in Control Date.
(k)
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants herein contained, you and the Company hereby agree as follows:
ONE: Your signing of this Agreement confirms that your employment with the Company shall terminate at the close of business on ____________, or earlier upon our mutual agreement.
TWO: As a material inducement for the payment of the benefit under Section 14(d) of the Severance Pay Agreement, and except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, you and the Company hereby irrevocably and unconditionally release, acquit and forever discharge the other from any and all Claims either may have against the other. For purposes of this Agreement and the preceding sentence, the words Releasee or Releasees and Claim or Claims shall have the meanings set forth below:
(a)
The words Releasee or Releasees shall refer to you and to the Company and each of the Companys owners, stockholders, predecessors, successors, assigns, agents, directors, officers, employees, representatives, attorneys, advisors, parent companies, divisions, subsidiaries, affiliates (and agents, directors, officers, employees, representatives, attorneys and advisors of such parent companies, divisions, subsidiaries and affiliates) and all persons acting by, through, under or in concert with any of them.
(b)
The words Claim or Claims shall refer to any charges, complaints, claims, liabilities, obligations, promises, agreements, controversies, damages, actions, causes of action, suits, rights, demands, costs, losses, debts and expenses (including attorneys fees and costs actually incurred) of any nature whatsoever, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, which you or the Company now, in the past or, except as limited by law or regulation such as the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), in the future may have, own or hold against any of the Releasees; provided, however, that the word Claim or Claims shall not refer to any charges, complaints, claims, liabilities, obligations, promises, agreements, controversies, damages, actions, causes of action, suits, rights, demands, costs, losses, debts and expenses (including attorneys fees and costs actually incurred) arising under [identify severance, employee benefits, stock option, indemnification and D&O and other agreements containing duties, rights obligations etc. of either party that are to remain operative]. Claims released pursuant to this Agreement by you and the Company include, but are not limited to, rights arising out of alleged violations of any contracts, express or implied, any tort, any claim that you failed to perform or negligently performed or breached your duties during employment at the Company, any legal restrictions on the Companys right to terminate employees or any federal, state or other governmental statute, regulation, or ordinance, including, without limitation: (1) Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (race, color, religion, sex and national origin discrimination); (2) 42 U.S.C. § 1981 (discrimination); (3) 29 U.S.C. §§ 621634 (age discrimination); (4) 29 U.S.C. § 206(d)(l) (equal pay); (5) 42 U.S.C. §§ 12101, et seq. (disability); (6) the California Constitution, Article I, Section 8 (discrimination); (7) the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (discrimination, including race, color, national origin, ancestry, physical handicap, medical condition, marital status, religion, sex or age); (8) California Labor Code Section 1102.1 (sexual orientation discrimination); (9) the Executive Order 11246 (race, color, religion, sex and national origin discrimination); (10) the Executive Order 11141 (age discrimination); (11) §§ 503 and 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (handicap discrimination); (12) The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Act (WARN Act); (13) the California Labor Code (wages, hours, working conditions, benefits and other matters); (14) the Fair Labor Standards Act (wages, hours, working conditions and other matters); the Federal Employee Polygraph Protection Act (prohibits employer from requiring employee to take polygraph test as condition of employment); and (15) any federal, state or other governmental statute, regulation or ordinance which is similar to any of the statutes described in clauses (1) through (14).
THREE: You and the Company expressly waive and relinquish all rights and benefits afforded by any statute (including but not limited to Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California) which limits the effect of a release with respect to unknown claims. You and the Company do so understanding and acknowledging the significance of the release of unknown claims and the waiver of statutory protection against a release of unknown claims (including but not limited to Section 1542). Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California states as follows:
A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.
Thus, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1542 or of any similar statute, and for the purpose of implementing a full and complete release and discharge of the Releasees, you and the Company expressly acknowledge that this Agreement is intended to include in its effect, without limitation, all Claims which are known and all Claims which you or the Company do not know or suspect to exist in your or the Companys favor at the time of execution of this Agreement and that this Agreement contemplates the extinguishment of all such Claims.
FOUR: The parties acknowledge that they might hereafter discover facts different from, or in addition to, those they now know or believe to be true with respect to a Claim or Claims released herein, and they expressly agree to assume the risk of possible discovery of additional or different facts, and agree that this Agreement shall be and remain effective, in all respects, regardless of such additional or different discovered facts.
FIVE: You hereby represent and acknowledge that you have not filed any Claim of any kind against the Company or others released in this Agreement. You further hereby expressly agree never to initiate against the Company or others released in this Agreement any administrative proceeding, lawsuit or any other legal or equitable proceeding of any kind asserting any Claims that are released in this Agreement.
The Company hereby represents and acknowledges that it has not filed any Claim of any kind against you or others released in this Agreement. The Company further hereby expressly agrees never to initiate against you or others released in this Agreement any administrative proceeding, lawsuit or any other legal or equitable proceeding of any kind asserting any Claims that are released in this Agreement.
SIX: You hereby represent and agree that you have not assigned or transferred, or attempted to have assigned or transfer, to any person or entity, any of the Claims that you are releasing in this Agreement.
The Company hereby represents and agrees that it has not assigned or transferred, or attempted to have assigned or transfer, to any person or entity, any of the Claims that it is releasing in this Agreement.
SEVEN: As a further material inducement to the Company to enter into this Agreement, you hereby agree to indemnify and hold each of the Releasees harmless from all loss, costs, damages, or expenses, including without limitation, attorneys fees incurred by the Releasees, arising out of any breach of this Agreement by you or the fact that any representation made in this Agreement by you was false when made.
As a further material inducement to you to enter into this Agreement, the Company hereby agrees to indemnify and hold each of the Releasees harmless from all loss, costs, damages, or expenses, including without limitation, attorneys fees incurred by the Releasees, arising out of any breach of this Agreement by it or the fact that any representation made in this Agreement by it was knowingly false when made.
EIGHT: You and the Company represent and acknowledge that in executing this Agreement, neither is relying upon any representation or statement not set forth in this Agreement or the Severance Agreement.
NINE:
(a)
This Agreement shall not in any way be construed as an admission by the Company that it has acted wrongfully with respect to you or any other person, or that you have any rights whatsoever against the Company, and the Company specifically disclaims any liability to or wrongful acts against you or any other person, on the part of itself, its employees or its agents. This Agreement shall not in any way be construed as an admission by you that you have acted wrongfully with respect to the Company, or that you failed to perform your duties or negligently performed or breached your duties, or that the Company had good cause to terminate your employment.
(b)
If you are a party or are threatened to be made a party to any proceeding by reason of the fact that you were an officer or director of the Company, the Company shall indemnify you against any expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees; provided, that counsel has been approved by the Company prior to retention, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts actually or reasonably incurred by you in connection with that proceeding; provided, that you acted in good faith and in a manner you reasonably believed to be in the best interest of the Company. The limitations of California Corporations Code Section 317 shall apply to this assurance of indemnification.
(c)
You agree to cooperate with the Company and its designated attorneys, representatives and agents in connection with any actual or threatened judicial, administrative or other legal or equitable proceeding in which the Company is or may become involved. Upon reasonable notice, you agree to meet with and provide to the Company or its designated attorneys, representatives or agents all information and knowledge you have relating to the subject matter of any such proceeding. The Company agrees to reimburse you for any reasonable costs you incur in providing such cooperation.
TEN: This Agreement is made and entered into in California. This Agreement shall in all respects be interpreted, enforced and governed by and under the laws of the State of California and applicable Federal law. Any dispute about the validity, interpretation, effect or alleged violation of this Agreement (an arbitrable dispute) must be submitted to arbitration in San Diego, California. Arbitration shall take place before an experienced employment arbitrator licensed to practice law in such state and selected in accordance with the then existing JAMS arbitration rules applicable to employment disputes; provided, however, that in any event, the arbitrator shall allow reasonable discovery. Arbitration shall be the exclusive remedy for any arbitrable dispute. The arbitrator in any arbitrable dispute shall not have authority to modify or change the Agreement in any respect. You and the Company shall each be responsible for payment of one-half (1/2) the amount of the arbitrators fee(s); provided, however, that in no event shall you be required to pay any fee or cost of arbitration that is unique to arbitration or exceeds the costs you would have incurred had any arbitrable dispute been pursued in a court of competent jurisdiction. The Company shall make up any shortfall. Should any party to this Agreement institute any legal action or administrative proceeding against the other with respect to any Claim waived by this Agreement or pursue any arbitrable dispute by any method other than arbitration, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the non-prevailing party all damages, costs, expenses and attorneys fees incurred as a result of that action. The arbitrators decision and/or award shall be rendered in writing and will be fully enforceable and subject to an entry of judgment by the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of San Diego, or any other court of competent jurisdiction.
ELEVEN: Both you and the Company understand that this Agreement is final and binding eight (8) days after its execution and return. Should you nevertheless attempt to challenge the enforceability of this Agreement as provided in Paragraph TEN or, in violation of that Paragraph, through litigation, as a further limitation on any right to make such a challenge, you shall initially tender to the Company, by certified check delivered to the Company, all monies received pursuant to Section 14(d) of the Severance Pay Agreement, plus interest, and invite the Company to retain such monies and agree with you to cancel this Agreement and void the Companys obligations under Section 14(d) of the Severance Pay Agreement. In the event the Company accepts this offer, the Company shall retain such monies and this Agreement shall be canceled and the Company shall have no obligation under Section 14(d) of the Severance Pay Agreement. In the event the Company does not accept such offer, the Company shall so notify you and shall place such monies in an interest-bearing escrow account pending resolution of the dispute between you and the Company as to whether or not this Agreement and the Companys obligations under Section 14(d) of the Severance Pay Agreement shall be set aside and/or otherwise rendered voidable or unenforceable. Additionally, any consulting agreement then in effect between you and the Company shall be immediately rescinded with no requirement of notice.
TWELVE: Any notices required to be given under this Agreement shall be delivered either personally or by first class United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the respective parties as follows:
To Company:

You are encouraged, at your personal expense, to consult with an attorney before signing this Agreement. You understand and acknowledge that whether or not you do so is your decision.

FOURTEEN: This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties hereto and supersedes any and all other agreements (except the Severance Pay Agreement) with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, whether written or oral, between you and the Company. All modifications and amendments to this Agreement must be in writing and signed by the parties.
FIFTEEN: Each party agrees, without further consideration, to sign or cause to be signed, and to deliver to the other party, any other documents and to take any other action as may be necessary to fulfill the obligations under this Agreement.
SIXTEEN: If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof is held invalid, the invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications of the Agreement which can be given effect without the invalid provisions or application; and to this end the provisions of this Agreement are declared to be severable.
SEVENTEEN: This Agreement may be executed in counterparts.
I have read the foregoing General Release, and I accept and agree to the provisions it contains and hereby execute it voluntarily and with full understanding of its consequences. I am aware it includes a release of all known or unknown claims.

Sempra Natural Gas’ Joint Venture Formation for Cameron LNG liquefaction project:
|
□
|
In September 2014, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) granted Cameron LNG final authorization to export domestically produced LNG from its Cameron liquefaction project to countries with which the United States does not have agreements for free trade in natural gas (Non-Free Trade Agreement) (page 67).
|
□
|
Between April and July 2014, Cameron LNG received orders from the FERC authorizing the siting, construction and operation of the three-train liquefaction facility, as well as authorization for Cameron Interstate Pipeline’s 21-mile, 42-inch natural gas pipeline expansion, new compressor station and ancillary equipment that will provide natural gas transportation to the Cameron LNG facility (page 68).
|
□
|
In August 2014, Sempra Natural Gas and its project partners provided their respective final investment decision for the investment in the joint venture (page 68).
|
□
|
Also in August 2014, Sempra Energy and the project partners executed project financing documents, and Sempra Energy entered into completion guarantees related to the financing agreements (page 68).
|
□
|
On October 1, 2014, Cameron LNG Holdings, the joint venture partnership among Sempra Energy and three project partners, became effective, and Sempra Natural Gas contributed Cameron LNG to the joint venture (page 68).

The Direct Access (DA) program, which offered all customers the option to purchase their electric commodity services from a third-party Energy Service Provider (ESP) instead of continuing to receive these services from SDG&E, was implemented in 1998 and suspended in 2001. In 2009, Senate Bill 695 required the CPUC to develop a process and rules for a limited re-opening of DA to be phased in over a period of time. In 2010, the CPUC adopted the process and rules for the limited re-opening of DA for non-residential customers under a 4-year phase-in schedule. The 2013 tranche of non-residential customers switching to DA resulted in higher volumes in 2013. The increase in revenues from the higher volumes was offset by lower tariffs in 2013 compared to 2012. The phase-in program ended in 2013. Tariffs in 2014 increased from 2013.

Higher Corporate Tax Rate: The new corporate income tax rate is 30 percent for 2014 and future years. In 2013, we recorded $13 million additional income tax expense related to the revaluation of deferred tax liabilities.
|
§
|
Tax Consolidation: The consolidation rules under the previous income tax law were replaced with new rules under which tax benefits are recaptured in three years instead of five years. However, as a result of the IEnova corporate reorganization, we were required to make a prepayment of approximately $81 million against future income tax liability in 2014. Of the $81 million, $23 million was utilized in 2014. The remaining prepayment expires between 2016 and 2022. We currently believe that we will fully utilize the $58 million remaining prepayment before it expires.
|
§
|
10-Percent Dividends Tax: A new “corporate” tax on dividends is payable by the Mexican entity that distributes the dividend to its foreign shareholder, which increased Mexico’s income tax rate to an effective 37 percent. Under the law, this tax is reduced or offset in accordance with bilateral tax treaties. The dividends from our Mexican entities to Sempra Energy will be to a country which has a bilateral tax treaty with Mexico that we expect will fully offset the tax. Accordingly, we do not expect this rule to have a material financial impact.

$277 million increase in net undercollected regulatory balancing accounts in 2014 at the California Utilities (including long-term amounts included in regulatory assets) compared to a $411 million increase in 2013. Over- and undercollected regulatory balancing accounts reflect the difference between customer billings and recorded or CPUC-authorized costs. These differences are required to be balanced over time. See further discussion of changes in regulatory balances at both SDG&E and SoCalGas below;
|
§
|
$44 million decrease in accounts receivable in 2014 compared to a $273 million increase in 2013; the change was mainly due to a $30 million decrease at SoCalGas in 2014 compared to a $113 million increase in 2013, primarily due to a decrease in physical gas sales in December 2014 compared to December 2013, and a $39 million decrease in natural gas sales at Sempra Natural Gas in 2014 compared to a $69 million increase in 2013;
|
§
|
$109 million increase in accounts payable in 2014 compared to a $28 million decrease in 2013, mainly due to an increase in 2014 related to natural gas purchased at SoCalGas; and
|
§
|
$82 million decrease in settlement payments and associated legal fees for wildfire claims at SDG&E in 2014 compared to 2013; offset by
|
§
|
$133 million increase in inventory in 2014 compared to a $116 million decrease in 2013; the 2014 increase was mainly due to a $113 million increase at SoCalGas, primarily due to higher natural gas storage volume; and
|
§
|
$86 million lower net income, adjusted for noncash items included in earnings, in 2014.
|
§
|
$110 million decrease in net overcollected regulatory balancing accounts in 2013 at SoCalGas (including long-term amounts included in regulatory assets) compared to a $31 million increase in net overcollected regulatory balancing accounts in 2012;
|
§
|
$273 million increase in accounts receivable in 2013, primarily due to a $60 million increase at SoCalGas as a result of an increase in billing rates in 2013, and a $69 million increase in natural gas sales at Sempra Natural Gas in 2013;
|
§
|
$375 million of funds received from wildfire litigation settlements at SDG&E in 2012; and
|
§
|

§
|
$85 million payment received in 2012 for third party transmission line access; and
|
§
|
$50 million increase in income taxes receivable in 2013 compared to an $85 million decrease in 2012; offset by
|
§
|
$301 million increase in net undercollected regulatory balancing accounts in 2013 (including long-term amounts included in regulatory assets) compared to a $322 million increase in 2012, as follows:
|
□
|
the increase in the net undercollected balancing accounts in 2013 was primarily due to:
|
§
|
$103 million increase in the net undercollected balance due to the adoption of the 2012 GRC in 2013, and
|
§
|
$204 million increase in the undercollected balancing account for electric resource cost.
|
□
|
the increase in net undercollected regulatory balancing accounts in 2012 was primarily due to:
|
§
|
$214 million undercollection of electric resource costs, and
|
§
|
$71 million return of prior year’s overcollection to customers and $83 million of unrecovered current year spending for advanced metering infrastructure costs, offset by
|
§
|
$54 million reduction of prior year’s undercollected electric distribution fixed costs;
|
§
|
$40 million higher net income, adjusted for noncash items included in earnings, in 2013; and
|
§
|
$203 million decrease in settlement payments and associated legal fees in 2013 for wildfire claims.
|
§
|
$156 million increase in accounts payable in 2014 compared to a $54 million decrease in 2013, primarily due to a $75 million increase in natural gas purchases in 2014 compared to a $65 million decrease in 2013;
|
§
|
$30 million decrease in accounts receivable in 2014 compared to a $113 million increase in 2013, primarily due to a decrease in physical gas sales in December 2014 compared to December 2013; and

$27 million higher net income, adjusted for noncash items included in earnings, in 2014 compared to 2013; offset by
|
§
|
$230 million decrease in net overcollected regulatory balancing accounts in 2014 (including long-term amounts included in regulatory assets) compared to $110 million decrease in 2013:
|
□
|
the decrease in 2014 in the net overcollected regulatory balancing accounts was primarily due to:
|
§
|
$216 million increase in the undercollected position associated with the fixed cost balancing accounts, and
|
§
|
$35 million decrease in the overcollected balancing accounts associated with the public purpose programs, offset by
|
§
|
$52 million decrease in the undercollected balance associated with the delayed decision in the 2012 GRC.
|
□
|
the decrease in 2013 in the net overcollected balancing accounts was primarily due to:
|
§
|
$26 million increase in the net undercollected balancing accounts associated with the adoption of the 2012 GRC in 2013, and
|
§
|
$86 million change in the balancing account for fixed costs associated with core customer activities. In 2013, this account changed from a $36 million overcollected balance to a $50 million undercollected balance at year-end; and
|
§
|
$113 million increase in inventory in 2014 compared to an $82 million decrease in 2013, primarily due to higher volume of natural gas added to storage in 2014 compared to 2013 as a result of colder than normal weather in the fourth quarter of 2013, which left a lower volume of natural gas in storage at the end of 2013 compared to the end of 2012, combined with higher gas prices in 2014.
|
§
|
$110 million decrease in overcollected regulatory balancing accounts in 2013 (including long-term amounts included in regulatory assets) compared to a $31 million increase in 2012. The decrease in the net overcollected balancing accounts in 2013 was primarily due to:

|
$86 million change in the balancing account for fixed costs associated with core customer activities. In 2013, this account changed from a $36 million overcollected balance to a $50 million undercollected balance at year-end;
|
§
|
$113 million increase in accounts receivable in 2013, primarily due to a $60 million increase in trade accounts receivable and a $30 million increase in physical gas sales. The $60 million increase in trade accounts receivable is primarily due to the increase in billing rates in 2013 compared to 2012; and
|
§
|
$54 million decrease in accounts payable in 2013 compared to a $54 million increase in 2012; offset by
|

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
|
||||
SEMPRA ENERGY, SDG&E AND SOCALGAS
|
||||
CONTINGENCIES
|
||||
Assumptions & Approach Used
|
We accrue losses for the estimated impacts of various conditions, situations or circumstances involving uncertain outcomes. For loss contingencies, we accrue the loss if an event has occurred on or before the balance sheet date and:
§ information available through the date we file our financial statements indicates it is probable that a loss has been incurred, given the likelihood of uncertain future events, and
§ the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.
We do not accrue contingencies that might result in gains. We continuously assess contingencies for litigation claims, environmental remediation and other events.
|
|||
Effect if Different
Assumptions Used
|
Details of our issues in this area are discussed in Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
|
|||
REGULATORY ACCOUNTING
|
||||
Assumptions & Approach Used
|
As regulated entities, the California Utilities’ rates, as set and monitored by regulators, are designed to recover the cost of providing service and provide the opportunity to earn a competitive return on their investments. The California Utilities record regulatory assets, which are generally costs that would otherwise be charged to expense, if it is probable that, through the ratemaking process, the utility will recover that asset from customers in future rates. Similarly, regulatory liabilities are recorded for amounts recovered in rates in advance or in excess of costs incurred. The California Utilities assess probabilities of future rate recovery associated with regulatory account balances at the end of each reporting period and whenever new and/or unusual events occur, such as:
§ changes in the regulatory and political environment or the utility’s competitive position
§ issuance of a regulatory commission order
§ passage of new legislation
To the extent that circumstances associated with regulatory balances change, the regulatory balances are adjusted accordingly.
|
|||
Effect if Different
Assumptions Used
|
Adverse legislative or regulatory actions could materially impact the amounts of such regulatory assets and liabilities and could materially adversely impact our financial statements. Details of the California Utilities’ regulatory assets and liabilities and additional factors that management considers when assessing probabilities associated with regulatory balances are discussed in Notes 1, 13, 14 and 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
|
|||
SEMPRA ENERGY, SDG&E AND SOCALGAS (CONTINUED)
|
||||
INCOME TAXES
|
||||
Assumptions & Approach Used
|
Our income tax expense and related balance sheet amounts involve significant management estimates and judgments. Amounts of deferred income tax assets and liabilities, as well as current and noncurrent accruals, involve judgments and estimates of the timing and probability of recognition of income and deductions by taxing authorities. When we evaluate the anticipated resolution of income tax issues, we consider
§ past resolutions of the same or similar issue
§ the status of any income tax examination in progress
§ positions taken by taxing authorities with other taxpayers with similar issues
The likelihood of deferred tax recovery is based on analyses of the deferred tax assets and our expectation of future taxable income, based on our strategic planning.
|
|||
Effect if Different
Assumptions Used
|
Actual income taxes could vary from estimated amounts because of:
§ future impacts of various items, including changes in tax laws, regulations, interpretations and rulings
§ our financial condition in future periods
§ the resolution of various income tax issues between us and taxing authorities
We discuss details of our issues in this area in Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
|
|||
Assumptions & Approach Used
|
For an uncertain position to qualify for benefit recognition, the position must have at least a “more likely than not” chance of being sustained (based on the position’s technical merits) upon challenge by the respective authorities. The term “more likely than not” means a likelihood of more than 50 percent. If we do not have a more likely than not position with respect to a tax position, then we do not recognize any of the potential tax benefit associated with the position. A tax position that meets the “more likely than not” recognition is measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon the effective resolution of the tax position.
|
|||
Effect if Different
Assumptions Used
|
Unrecognized tax benefits involve management’s judgment regarding the likelihood of the benefit being sustained. The final resolution of uncertain tax positions could result in adjustments to recorded amounts and may affect our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
We discuss additional information related to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes in Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
|
|||
SEMPRA ENERGY, SDG&E AND SOCALGAS (CONTINUED)
|
||||
DERIVATIVES
|
||||
Assumptions & Approach Used
|
We value derivative instruments at fair value on the balance sheet. Depending on the purpose for the contract and the applicability of hedge accounting, the impact of instruments may be offset in earnings, on the balance sheet, or in other comprehensive income. We also use normal purchase or sale accounting for certain contracts. As discussed elsewhere in this report, whenever possible, we use exchange quotations or other third-party pricing to estimate fair values; if no such data is available, we use internally developed models and other techniques. The assumed collectability of derivative assets and receivables considers
§ events specific to a given counterparty
§ the tenor of the transaction
§ the credit-worthiness of the counterparty
|
|||
Effect if Different
Assumptions Used
|
The application of hedge accounting to certain derivatives and the normal purchase or sale accounting election is made on a contract-by-contract basis. Using hedge accounting or the normal purchase or sale election in a different manner could materially impact Sempra Energy’s results of operations. However, such alternatives would not have a significant impact on the California Utilities’ results of operations because of regulatory accounting principles. We provide details of our financial instruments in Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
|
|||
DEFINED BENEFIT PLANS
|
||||
Assumptions & Approach Used
|
To measure our pension and other postretirement obligations, costs and liabilities, we rely on several assumptions. We consider current market conditions, including interest rates, in making these assumptions. We annually review these assumptions prior to the beginning of each year and update when appropriate.
The critical assumptions used to develop the required estimates include the following key factors:
§ discount rates
§ expected return on plan assets
§ health care cost trend rates
§ mortality rates
§ rate of compensation increases
§ termination and retirement rates
§ utilization of postretirement welfare benefits
§ payout elections (lump sum or annuity)
§ lump sum interest rates
|
|||
SEMPRA ENERGY, SDG&E AND SOCALGAS (CONTINUED)
|
||||
DEFINED BENEFIT PLANS (CONTINUED)
|
||||
Effect if Different
Assumptions Used
|
The actuarial assumptions we use may differ materially from actual results due to:
§ return on plan assets
§ changing market and economic conditions
§ higher or lower withdrawal rates
§ longer or shorter participant life spans
§ more or fewer lump sum versus annuity payout elections made by plan participants
§ retirement rates
These differences, other than those related to the California Utilities’ plans, where rate recovery offsets any effects of the assumptions on earnings, may result in a significant impact to the amount of pension and postretirement benefit expense we record. For the remaining plans, the approximate annual effect on earnings of a 100 basis point increase or decrease in the assumed discount rate would be less than $3 million and the effect of a 100 basis point increase or decrease in the assumed rate of return on plan assets would be less than $2 million.
We provide additional information, including the impact of increases and decreases in the health care cost trend rate, in Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
|
|||
SEMPRA ENERGY AND SDG&E
|
||||
ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS
|
||||
Assumptions & Approach Used
|
SDG&E’s legal asset retirement obligations (AROs) related to the decommissioning of SONGS are recorded at fair value based on a site specific study performed no less than every three years. The fair value of the obligations includes
§ estimated decommissioning costs, including labor, equipment, material and other disposal costs
§ inflation adjustment applied to estimated cash flows
§ discount rate based on a credit-adjusted risk-free rate
§ expected initiation and duration of decommissioning activities
|
|||
Effect if Different
Assumptions Used
|
Changes in the estimated decommissioning costs, or in the assumptions and judgments made by management underlying these estimates, could cause revisions to the estimated total cost associated with retiring the assets. SDG&E’s nuclear decommissioning expenses are subject to rate recovery and, therefore, rate-making accounting treatment is applied to SDG&E’s nuclear decommissioning activities. SDG&E recognizes a regulatory asset, or liability, to the extent that its SONGS ARO exceeds, or is less than, the amount collected from customers and the amount earned in SDG&E’s Nuclear Decommissioning Trusts.
We provide additional detail in Notes 13 and 15 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

SEMPRA ENERGY
|
||||
IMPAIRMENT TESTING OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
|
||||
Assumptions & Approach Used
|
Whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable, we consider if the estimated future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the assets. If so, we estimate the fair value of these assets to determine the extent to which cost exceeds fair value. For these estimates, we may consider data from multiple valuation methods, including data from market participants. We exercise judgment to estimate the future cash flows and the useful lives of long-lived assets and to determine our intent to use the assets. Our intent to use or dispose of assets is subject to re-evaluation and can change over time.
|
|||
Effect if Different
Assumptions Used
|
If an impairment test is required, the fair value of long-lived assets can vary if differing estimates and assumptions are used in the valuation techniques applied as indicated by changing market or other conditions. We discuss impairment of long-lived assets in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
|
|||
IMPAIRMENT TESTING OF GOODWILL
|
||||
Assumptions & Approach Used
|
On an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances necessitate an evaluation, we consider whether goodwill may be impaired. For our annual goodwill impairment testing, we have the option to first make a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount before applying the two-step, quantitative goodwill impairment test. If we elect to perform the qualitative assessment, we evaluate relevant events and circumstances, including but not limited to, macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, changes in key personnel and the overall financial performance of the reporting unit. If, after assessing these qualitative factors, we determine that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then we perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. When we perform the two-step, quantitative goodwill impairment test, we exercise judgment to develop estimates of the fair value of the reporting unit and compare that to the carrying value. Our fair value estimates are developed from the perspective of a knowledgeable market participant. We consider observable transactions in the marketplace for similar investments, if available, as well as an income-based approach such as discounted cash flow analysis. A discounted cash flow analysis may be based directly on anticipated future revenues and expenses and may be performed based on free cash flows generated within the reporting unit. Critical assumptions that affect our estimates of fair value may include
§ consideration of market transactions
§ future cash flows
§ the appropriate risk-adjusted discount rate
§ country risk
§ entity risk
|
|||
Effect if Different
Assumptions Used
|
When we choose to make a qualitative assessment as discussed above, the two-step, quantitative goodwill impairment test is not required if we determine that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If we conclude that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount or when we choose to proceed directly to the two-step, quantitative goodwill impairment test, the test requires us to first determine if the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value and if so, to measure the amount of goodwill impairment, if any. When determining if goodwill is impaired, the fair value of the reporting unit and goodwill can vary if differing estimates and assumptions are used in the valuation techniques applied as indicated by changing market or other conditions. As a result, recognizing a goodwill impairment may or may not be required. Sempra Energy has $931 million of goodwill on its Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2014, of which $834 million is attributable to our operations in South America. Based on our qualitative assessment, we determined that it is more likely than not that the estimated fair values of the reporting units to which this goodwill was allocated substantially exceeded their carrying values as of October 1, 2014, our most recent goodwill impairment testing date. We discuss goodwill in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
|
|||
SEMPRA ENERGY
|
||||
CARRYING VALUE OF EQUITY METHOD INVESTMENTS
|
||||
Assumptions & Approach Used
|
We generally account for investments under the equity method when we have significant influence over, but do not have control of, these entities.
We consider whether the fair value of each equity investment as a whole, not the underlying net assets, has declined and whether that decline is other than temporary. To help evaluate whether a decline in fair value below cost has occurred and if the decline is other than temporary, we may develop fair value estimates for the investment. Our fair value estimates are developed from the perspective of a knowledgeable market participant. In the absence of observable transactions in the marketplace for similar investments, we consider an income-based approach such as discounted cash flow analysis or, with less weighting, the replacement cost of the underlying net assets. A discounted cash flow analysis may be based directly on anticipated future distributions from the investment, or may be performed based on free cash flows generated within the entity and adjusted for our ownership share total. When calculating estimates of fair or realizable values, we also consider whether we intend to hold or sell the investment. For certain held investments, critical assumptions may include
§ equity sale offer price for the investment
§ transportation rates for natural gas
§ the appropriate risk-adjusted discount rate
§ the availability and costs of natural gas and liquefied natural gas
§ competing fuels (primarily propane) and electricity
§ estimated future power generation and associated production tax credits
§ renewable power price expectations
For investments that we hold for sale, we consider comparable sales values or indicative offers, executed sales transactions or indications of value determined by cash and affiliate receivables within the entity when determining our estimates of fair value.
|
|||
Effect if Different
Assumptions Used
|
The risk assumptions applied by other market participants to value the investments could vary significantly or the appropriate approaches could be weighted differently. These differences could impact whether or not the fair value of the investment is less than its cost, and if so, whether that condition is other than temporary. This could result in an impairment charge or a different amount of impairment charge, and, in cases where an impairment charge has been recorded, additional loss or gain upon sale.
We provide additional details in Notes 4 and 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

|
§
|
Regulatory assets arising from the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) plant closure are associated with SDG&E’s investment in SONGS as of the plant closure date and the cost of operations since Units 2 and 3 were taken offline, as we discuss further in Note 13.
|
§
|
Regulatory assets arising from costs related to wildfire litigation are costs in excess of liability insurance coverage and amounts recovered from third parties, as we discuss in Note 14 under “Excess Wildfire Claims Cost Recovery” and Note 15 under “SDG&E — 2007 Wildfire Litigation.”
|
§
|
Deferred taxes recoverable in rates are based on current regulatory ratemaking and income tax laws. SDG&E and SoCalGas expect to recover net regulatory assets related to deferred income taxes over the lives of the assets that give rise to the accumulated deferred income tax liabilities.
|
§
|
Regulatory assets/liabilities related to pension and other postretirement benefit obligations are offset by corresponding liabilities/assets and are being recovered in rates as the plans are funded.
|
§
|
Regulatory assets related to unamortized losses on reacquired debt are recovered over the remaining amortization periods of the losses on reacquired debt. These periods range from 5 months to 13 years for SDG&E and from 7 years to 11 years for SoCalGas.
|
§
|
Regulatory assets related to environmental costs represent the portion of our environmental liability recognized at the end of the period in excess of the amount that has been recovered through rates charged to customers. We expect this amount to be recovered in future rates as expenditures are made.
|
§
|
The regulatory asset related to the legacy meters removed from service and replaced under the Smart Meter Program is their undepreciated value. SDG&E is recovering this asset over a remaining 3-year period in ratebase.
|
§
|
The regulatory asset related to Sunrise Powerlink fire mitigation is offset by a corresponding liability for the funding of a trust to cover the mitigation costs. SDG&E expects to recover the regulatory asset in rates as the trust is funded over a remaining 55-year period. We discuss the trust further in Note 15.

Reclassification to liability held for sale - asset retirement obligation which is included in Other Current Liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, as we discuss in "Asset Held for Sale" in Note 3.
|
||||||||||||||
(3)
|
The decreases in asset retirement obligations in 2013 at SDG&E and SoCalGas are due to revised estimates related to the 2012 General Rate Case (GRC) that received final approval in May 2013. At SDG&E, these revisions included increases in asset service lives ranging from 2 percent to 7 percent, and lower estimated cost of removal. At SoCalGas, the decrease includes increases in asset service lives ranging from 4 percent to 6 percent, partially offset by a higher estimated cost of removal.
|
||||||||||||||
(4)
|
The decrease in asset retirement obligations in 2014 at SDG&E is due to revised estimates in an updated decommissioning cost study for the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, which we discuss in Note 13. The increase in asset retirement obligations in 2014 at SoCalGas is related to a change in estimates.
|
||||||||||||||
(5)
|
The increase in asset retirement obligations in 2013 at SDG&E is due to revised estimates recorded in the third quarter of 2013 related to the early decommissioning of SONGS Units 2 and 3 (see Note 13).

The CPUC requires that SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ common equity ratios be no lower than one percentage point below the CPUC-authorized percentage of each entity’s authorized capital structure. The authorized percentage at December 31, 2014 is 52 percent at both SDG&E and SoCalGas.
|
§
|
The FERC requires SDG&E to maintain a common equity ratio of 30 percent or above.
|
§
|
The California Utilities have a combined revolving credit line that requires each utility to maintain a ratio of consolidated indebtedness to consolidated capitalization (as defined in the agreement) of no more than 65 percent, as we discuss in Note 5.
|
§
|
Peru and Mexico require domestic corporations to maintain minimum legal reserves as a percentage of capital stock, resulting in restricted net assets of $35 million at Luz del Sur and $81 million at Sempra Energy’s consolidated Mexican subsidiaries at December 31, 2014.
|
§
|
Energía Sierra Juárez, a 50-percent owned and unconsolidated joint venture of Sempra Mexico (see Notes 3 and 4), has a long-term debt agreement that requires the establishment and funding of project and reserve accounts to which the proceeds of loans, letter of credit draws, project revenues and other amounts are deposited and applied in accordance with the debt agreement. The long-term debt agreement also limits the joint venture’s ability to incur liens, incur additional indebtedness, make acquisitions and undertake certain actions. Also, in connection with a debt agreement for the financing of Mexican value added tax, Energía Sierra Juárez had $0.8 million of restricted net assets at December 31, 2014.
|
§
|
Gasoductos de Chihuahua, Sempra Mexico’s joint venture with PEMEX (see Note 4), has a debt agreement that requires the joint venture to maintain a reserve account to pay the debt. Under these restrictions, net assets totaling $32 million are restricted at December 31, 2014.
|
§
|
Wholly owned Copper Mountain Solar 1 has a long-term debt agreement that requires the establishment and funding of project accounts to which the proceeds of loans, project revenues and other amounts are deposited and applied in accordance with the debt agreement. This long-term debt agreement also limits Copper Mountain Solar 1’s ability to incur liens, incur additional indebtedness, make acquisitions and undertake certain actions, while also requiring maintenance of certain debt ratios. Under these restrictions, net assets totaling $9 million are restricted at December 31, 2014.
|
§
|
50-percent owned and unconsolidated joint ventures at Sempra Renewables have debt agreements that require each joint venture to maintain reserve accounts in order to pay the projects’ debt service and operation and maintenance requirements. We discuss Sempra Energy guarantees associated with these requirements in Note 5. At December 31, 2014, as a result of these requirements, there were total restricted net assets at our joint ventures of approximately:
|
□
|
$10 million at Broken Bow 2 Wind
|
□
|
$30 million at California solar partnership
|
□
|
$26 million at Cedar Creek 2 Wind (Cedar Creek 2)

|
Sempra Natural Gas has an equity method investment in the Cameron LNG Holdings joint venture, which has debt agreements that require the establishment and funding of project accounts to which the proceeds of loans, project revenues and other amounts are deposited and applied in accordance with the debt agreements. The debt agreements require the joint venture to maintain reserve accounts in order to pay the project debt service, and also contain restrictions related to the payment of dividends and other distributions to the members of the joint venture. We discuss Sempra Energy guarantees associated with Cameron LNG Holdings’ debt agreements in Note 4. Under these restrictions, net assets of Cameron LNG Holdings of approximately $1.8 billion are restricted at December 31, 2014.

Non-Qualified Stock Options: Options have an exercise price equal to the market price of the common stock at the date of grant, are service-based, become exercisable over a four-year period, and expire 10 years from the date of grant. Vesting and/or the ability to exercise may be accelerated upon a change in control, in accordance with severance pay agreements, in accordance with the terms of the grant, or upon eligibility for retirement. Options are subject to forfeiture or earlier expiration when an employee terminates employment.
|
§
|
Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units: These restricted stock unit awards generally vest in Sempra Energy common stock at the end of four-year performance periods based on Sempra Energy’s total return to shareholders relative to that of market indices or based on earnings per common share (EPS) growth. For awards granted in 2013 or earlier, if Sempra Energy’s total return to shareholders exceeds target levels, up to an additional 50 percent of the number of granted restricted stock units may be issued. For awards granted in 2014, up to an additional 100 percent of the granted restricted stock units may be issued if total return to shareholders or EPS growth exceeds target levels. If Sempra Energy’s total return to shareholders or EPS growth is below the target levels, shares are subject to partial vesting on a pro rata basis. Vesting may be subject to earlier forfeiture upon termination of employment and accelerated vesting upon a change in control under the applicable long-term incentive plan, or in accordance with severance pay agreements. Dividend equivalents on shares subject to restricted stock units are reinvested to purchase additional shares that become subject to the same vesting conditions as the restricted stock units to which the dividends relate.
|
§
|
Service-Based Restricted Stock Units: Restricted stock units may also be service-based; these generally vest at the end of four years of service. Vesting may be subject to earlier forfeiture upon termination of employment and accelerated vesting upon a change in control under the applicable long-term incentive plan, in accordance with severance pay agreements, or at the discretion of the Compensation Committee of Sempra Energy’s Board of Directors. Dividend equivalents on shares subject to restricted stock units are reinvested to purchase additional shares that become subject to the same vesting conditions as the restricted stock units to which the dividends relate.
|
§
|
Other Restricted Stock Units: Restricted stock units were granted in 2014 in connection with the creation of the Cameron LNG Holdings joint venture. These awards vest to the extent that the Compensation Committee of Sempra Energy’s Board of Directors determines that the objectives of the joint venture are continuing to be achieved. These awards vest on the anniversary of the grant date over a period of either two or three years. Vesting may be subject to earlier forfeiture upon termination of employment and accelerated vesting upon a change in control under the applicable long-term incentive plan, or in accordance with severance pay agreements. Dividend equivalents on shares subject to restricted stock units are reinvested to purchase additional shares that become subject to the same vesting conditions as the restricted stock units to which the dividends relate.
|
§
|
Restricted Stock: Restricted stock awards are solely service-based and are generally exercisable at the end of four years of service. Vesting is subject to earlier forfeiture upon termination of employment and accelerated vesting upon a change in control under the applicable long-term incentive plan, in accordance with severance pay agreements or upon eligibility for retirement. Holders of restricted stock have full voting rights. They also have full dividend rights; however, dividends paid on restricted stock held by officers are reinvested to purchase additional shares that become subject to the same vesting conditions as the restricted stock to which the dividends relate.

§
|
The California Utilities use natural gas energy derivatives, for the benefit of customers, with the objective of managing price risk and basis risks, and lowering natural gas costs. These derivatives include fixed price natural gas positions, options, and basis risk instruments, which are either exchange-traded or over-the-counter financial instruments. This activity is governed by risk management and transacting activity plans that have been filed with and approved by the CPUC. Natural gas derivative activities are recorded as commodity costs that are offset by regulatory account balances and are recovered in rates. Net commodity cost impacts on the Consolidated Statements of Operations are reflected in Cost of Electric Fuel and Purchased Power or in Cost of Natural Gas.
|
§
|
SDG&E is allocated and may purchase congestion revenue rights (CRRs), which serve to reduce the regional electricity price volatility risk that may result from local transmission capacity constraints. Unrealized gains and losses do not impact earnings, as they are offset by regulatory account balances. Realized gains and losses associated with CRRs are recorded in Cost of Electric Fuel and Purchased Power, which is recoverable in rates, on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
|
§
|
Sempra Mexico and Sempra Natural Gas may use natural gas and electricity derivatives, as appropriate, to optimize the earnings of their assets which support the following businesses: LNG, natural gas transportation, power generation, and Sempra Natural Gas’ storage. Gains and losses associated with undesignated derivatives are recognized in Energy-Related Businesses Revenues or in Cost of Natural Gas, Electric Fuel and Purchased Power on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Certain of these derivatives may also be designated as cash flow hedges. Sempra Mexico also uses natural gas energy derivatives with the objective of managing price risk and lowering natural gas prices at its Mexican distribution operations. These derivatives, which are recorded as commodity costs that are offset by regulatory account balances and recovered in rates, are recognized in Cost of Natural Gas on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
|
§
|
From time to time, our various businesses, including the California Utilities, may use other energy derivatives to hedge exposures such as the price of vehicle fuel.

There were gains of $9 million from hedge ineffectiveness in 2014. All other changes in the fair values of the interest rate swap agreements are exactly offset by changes in the fair value of the underlying long-term debt and recorded in Other Income, Net. There was no hedge ineffectiveness in 2013 and 2012.

§
|
Nuclear decommissioning trusts reflect the assets of SDG&E’s nuclear decommissioning trusts, excluding cash balances. A third party trustee values the trust assets using prices from a pricing service based on a market approach. We validate these prices by comparison to prices from other independent data sources. Equity and certain debt securities are valued using quoted prices listed on nationally recognized securities exchanges or based on closing prices reported in the active market in which the identical security is traded (Level 1). Other debt securities are valued based on yields that are currently available for comparable securities of issuers with similar credit ratings (Level 2).
|
§
|
We enter into commodity contracts and interest rate derivatives primarily as a means to manage price exposures. We may also manage foreign exchange rate exposures using derivatives. We primarily use a market approach with market participant assumptions to value these derivatives. Market participant assumptions include those about risk, and the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation techniques. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable. We have exchange-traded derivatives that are valued based on quoted prices in active markets for the identical instruments (Level 1). We also may have other commodity derivatives that are valued using industry standard models that consider quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, volatility factors, and other relevant economic measures (Level 2). All Level 3 recurring items are related to CRRs at SDG&E, as we discuss below under “Level 3 Information.” We record commodity derivative contracts that are subject to rate recovery as commodity costs that are offset by regulatory account balances and are recovered in rates.
|
§
|
Investments include marketable securities that we value using a market approach based on closing prices reported in the active market in which the identical security is traded (Level 1).

This includes $7 million at SDG&E and $24 million at SoCalGas related to hazardous waste sites subject to the Hazardous Waste Collaborative mechanism approved by the CPUC in 1994. This mechanism permits California’s IOUs, including the California Utilities, to recover in rates 90 percent of hazardous waste cleanup costs and related third-party litigation costs, and 70 percent of the related insurance-litigation expenses for certain sites. In addition, the California Utilities have the opportunity to retain a percentage of any recoveries from insurance carriers and other third parties to offset the cleanup and associated litigation costs not recovered in rates.
