Original Indenture.
AND IT IS HEREBY COVENANTED, DECLARED AND AGREED, by and between the
parties hereto, for the benefit of those who shall hold the Bonds and coupons,
or any of them to be issued under the Original Indenture, as follows:
ARTICLE I
DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW BONDS
Section 1.1. There is hereby created a new series of Bonds to be executed,
authenticated and delivered under and secured by the Original Indenture which
shall, subject to the provisions of Section 1 of Article II of the Original
Indenture, be designated as "First Mortgage Bonds, Environmental Improvement
Series 2004G (1991 Bonds)" (the "New Bonds") of the Company. The New Bonds shall
be executed, authenticated and delivered in accordance with the provisions of,
and shall in all respects be subject to all of the terms, conditions and
covenants of, the Original Indenture and shall be issued to, and registered in
the name of, the Authority Bond Trustee under the Authority Bond Indenture to
secure any and all obligations of the Company under the Agreement with respect
to the payment of the Authority Bonds.
The New Bonds shall mature, subject to prior redemption, on December 1,
2020, and shall bear interest at the same rate or rates of interest as the
Authority Bonds which, in turn, shall be determined by the methods set forth in
the Authority Bond Indenture, which provides for a Short-Term Auction Rate, a
Long-Term Auction Rate, a Bond Interest Term Rate, a Weekly Rate or a Long-Term
Interest Rate (each as defined in the Authority Bonds Indenture). Reference is
made to the provisions of the Authority Bond Indenture concerning the methods by
which such interest rates are determined, and the means by which the method of
determining such interest rates may be changed, and such provisions are included
in this Supplemental Indenture as if fully set forth herein. Interest on the New
Bonds is payable on the same dates as interest on the Authority Bonds is paid,
until the principal sum of the New Bonds is paid in full. The New Bonds shall be
payable as to principal and interest in any coin or currency of the United
States of America which at the time of payment is legal tender for public and
private debts, and shall be payable, in immediately available funds, at the
office of the Authority Bond Trustee.
Section 1.2. The New Bonds shall not be assignable or transferable except
as permitted or required by Section 12.13 of the Authority Bond Indenture. Any
such transfer shall be effected at the principal office or place of business of
the Trustee under the Original Indenture. The New Bonds are exchangeable for the
New Bonds of other denominations, as in the Original Indenture provided, except
that payment of a service charge therefor will not be required by the Company.
-13-
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6 of Article II of the Original
Indenture, the New Bonds shall be dated their date of authentication and shall
bear interest from the interest payment date to which interest on the New Bonds
has been paid next preceding the date thereof, unless such date is an interest
payment date to which interest has been paid, in which case they shall bear
interest from the date thereof.
Upon any payment of the principal of and interest on, all or any portion of
the Authority Bonds, whether at maturity or otherwise or upon provision for the
payment thereof having been made in accordance with Section 7.01 of the
Authority Bond Indenture, the New Bonds in a principal amount equal to the
principal amount of such Authority Bonds shall, to the extent of such payment of
principal and interest, be deemed paid and the obligation of the Company
thereunder to make such payment shall be discharged to such extent and, in the
case of the payment of principal, such New Bonds shall be surrendered to the
Company for cancellation as provided in and subject to the terms of Section 7.04
of the Authority Bond Indenture. The Trustee may at any time and all times
conclusively assume that the obligation of the Company under the Agreement to
make payments with respect to the principal of and interest on the Authority
Bonds, so far as such payments at the time have become due, has been fully
satisfied and discharged pursuant to the foregoing sentence unless and until the
Trustee shall have received a written notice from the Authority Bond Trustee
signed by one of its officers stating (i) the timely payment of principal or
interest on, the Authority Bonds has not been made, (ii) that the Company is in
arrears as to the payments required to be made by it to the Authority Bond
Trustee pursuant to the Agreement, and (iii) the amount of the arrearage.
Section 1.3. The New Bonds and the Trustee's certificate on the New Bonds
shall be substantially in the following forms respectively:

of, or interest on, the Authority Bonds shall constitute payments on this Bond
as further provided herein and in the Supplemental Indenture dated February 1,

Upon any payment of the principal of, and interest on, all or any portion

payment of principal, such Bonds shall be surrendered to the Company for

[FORM OF REVERSE OF NEW BOND]
This Bond is one of a duly authorized issue of Bonds of the Company (herein
called the "Bonds"), limited to an aggregate principal amount of $42,585,000, of
the series hereinafter specified, all issued under and equally secured by the
Indenture of Mortgage and Deed of Trust, dated June 15, 1937, executed by the
Company to The Bank of New York (successor trustee to Bank of America, National

April 1, 1971, February 1, 1974, July 7, 1980, February 1, 2000 and August 15,

Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a
description of the properties mortgaged and pledged, the nature and extent of
the security, the rights of the bearers or registered owners of the Bonds and of
the Trustee in respect thereto, and the terms and conditions upon which the
Bonds are, and are to be, secured. To the extent permitted by, and as provided
in, the Amended Indenture, modifications or alterations of the Amended
Indenture, or of any indenture supplemental thereto, and of the rights and
obligations of the Company and of the holders of the Bonds may be made with the
consent of the Company by an affirmative vote of not less than 60% in amount of
the

but less than all of the series of Bonds then outstanding under the Amended

Indenture, as supplemented, by an appropriate written consent of not less than
60% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds outstanding (and, if the rights
of one or more, but less than all, series of Bonds then outstanding are to be
affected by action taken pursuant to such consent, then also by consent of the

affected and outstanding hereunder) without a meeting of such Bondholders. No
such modification or alteration shall be made which will affect the terms of
payment of the principal of, or interest on, this Bond, which are unconditional.
The Bonds may be issued in series, for various principal sums, may mature at
different times, may bear interest at different rates and may otherwise vary as
in the Amended Indenture provided. This Bond is one of a series designated as

improvement, maintenance or analogous fund.
This Bond is, subject to the provisions of the Amended Indenture, subject
to redemption in the amounts, at the times, at the prices and under the
circumstances under which the Authority Bonds are subject to redemption under
the same terms and circumstances set forth in the Authority Bond Indenture for

hereof plus accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption if the Trustee or
the Company is notified that an "Event of Default" under the Authority Bond
Indenture has occurred and is continuing and the Authority Bond Trustee has
declared the principal amount of all Authority Bonds then outstanding due and
payable in accordance with the Authority Bond Indenture.
The Company may, by notice to the Trustee at least 60 days prior to any
date on which any principal amount is due on this Bond, elect to receive a
credit in respect of such principal payment (a) for any Bonds of this Series
then due which have been redeemed prior to such principal payment date or
otherwise acquired and delivered to the Trustee for cancellation by said Trustee
prior to the giving of such notice, or (b) for any Authority Bonds which have
been purchased, delivered for cancellation or previously redeemed, which in each
case have not theretofore been applied as a credit against such principal
payment. Each Bond with respect to which the Company elects to receive a credit
will be credited by the Trustee at 100% of the principal amount thereof against
such principal payment, provided further that in the case of a credit with
respect to any Authority Bonds, the principal amount thereof shall be
established by an officers' certificate (as defined in the Amended Indenture)
concurred in by the Authority Bond Trustee, included with the above-mentioned
notice to the Trustee. The principal amount of Bonds to be paid on the due date
of such principal payment will be reduced by the amount of any such credit or
credits in respect of Bonds previously redeemed or delivered as provided above.
-18-
Upon cancellation in full or in part of any of the Authority Bonds (or
provision for payment thereof having been made in accordance with the provisions
of the Authority Bond Indenture) and payment of all fees and charges of the
trustee thereunder, such trustee shall deliver to the Trustee, for cancellation
a corresponding amount of Bonds remaining in its possession.
Such redemption in every case shall be effected upon notice delivered by
the Company at least 60 days prior to the date of redemption, to the registered
owner of the Bonds at its address as the same shall appear on the transfer
register of the Company, all subject to the conditions of, and as more fully set
forth in, the Amended Indenture and Supplemental Indenture.
In case an event of default, as defined in the Amended Indenture, shall
occur, the principal of all the bonds at any such time outstanding under the
Amended Indenture may be declared or may become due and payable, upon the
conditions and in the manner and with the effect provided in the Amended
Indenture. The Amended Indenture provides that such declaration may in certain
events be waived by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the bonds
outstanding.
This Bond shall not be assignable or transferable except as permitted or
required by Section 12.13 of the Authority Bond Indenture. This Bond is
exchangeable by the registered owner hereof, in person or by duly authorized
attorney, on the books of the Company to be kept for that purpose at the office
of the Company in the City of St. Louis, Missouri, upon surrender and
cancellation of this Bond and on presentation of a duly executed written
instrument of transfer, and thereupon a new Bond or Bonds of the same series, of
the same aggregate principal amount and in authorized denominations will be
issued to the transferee or transferees in exchange herefor, without payment of
any charge other than stamp taxes and other governmental charges incident
thereto; and this Bond with or without others of like series, may in like manner
be exchanged for one or more new Bonds of the same series of other authorized
denominations but of the same aggregate principal amount; all subject to the
terms and conditions set forth in the Amended Indenture.
As provided in Section 7.04 of the Authority Bond Indenture, from and after
the Release Date (as defined in the Authority Bond Indenture), the obligations
of the Company with respect to this Bond shall be deemed to be satisfied and
discharged, this Bond shall cease to secure in any manner the Company's
obligations under the Agreement with respect to the payment of any Authority
Bonds outstanding under the Authority Bond Indenture, and, pursuant to Section
7.04 of the Authority Bond Indenture, the Authority Bond Trustee shall forthwith
deliver this Bond to the Company for cancellation.
No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, or the
interest on, this Bond, or for any claim based hereon or on the Amended
Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, or
against any stockholder, director or officer, past, present or future, of the
Company, or of any predecessor or successor corporation, either directly or
through the Company or any such predecessor or successor corporation, whether
for amounts unpaid on stock subscriptions or by virtue of any constitution,
statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or
otherwise, all such liability, whether at common law, in equity,
-19-
by any constitution, statute or otherwise, of incorporators, stockholders,
directors or officers being released by every owner hereof by the acceptance of
this Bond and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, and being
likewise released by the terms of the Amended Indenture.
