                                BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF
                          PACIFIC GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY

                 WHEREAS, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Pacific Gas and Electric
Company, a California corporation (the “Utility”), has reviewed, discussed, and had the
opportunity to ask questions about the materials presented by management and the legal and
financial advisors of the Utility regarding, among other matters, the actual and potential
liabilities of the Utility, its liquidity, the strategic alternatives available to it, and the impact of
the foregoing on the Utility’s business;

                WHEREAS, the Board has had the opportunity to consult with management and
the legal and financial advisors of the Utility to fully consider each of the strategic alternatives
available to the Utility;

                WHEREAS, pursuant to State Senate Bill 901, effective as of January 1, 2019,
California Public Utilities Code Section 854.2(d) appears on its face to purportedly require at
least 15 days’ advance notice (“SB 901 Notice”) to covered employees prior to a “change in
control” of a utility, which is defined to include any filing seeking bankruptcy protection; and

                WHEREAS, the Board desires to approve this resolution.


I.      Commencement of the Chapter 11 Case

                NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Board has determined, after
consultation with management and the legal and financial advisors of the Utility, that it is
desirable and in the best interests of the Utility, its creditors, and other parties in interest that a
petition be filed by the Utility seeking relief under the provisions of chapter 11 of title 11 of the
United States Code 15 days after delivery of a proper SB 901 Notice; and

             BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that any officer of the Utility (each, an
“Authorized Officer”), acting singly or jointly, be, and each hereby is, authorized and

empowered, with full power of delegation, to negotiate, execute, deliver, and file in the name and
on behalf of the Utility, and under its seal or otherwise, all plans, petitions, schedules,
statements, motions, lists, applications, pleadings, papers, affidavits, declarations, orders, and
other documents in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of California

deems necessary, appropriate, desirable, or advisable, and (b) negotiating, executing, delivering,

Officer deemed the same to meet such standard); and


II.     SB 901 Notice

                BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Board has determined, after consultation
with management and the legal advisors of the Utility, and in an abundance of caution, that

covered employees at least 15 days in advance of the commencement of the Chapter 11 Case;
and

                 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that any Authorized Officer, acting singly or
