ARTICLE I
DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW BONDS
Section 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, Senior Notes Series KK” (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 Senior Note Trustee under the Senior Note Indenture to secure any and all obligations of the Company under the Senior Notes and any other series of senior notes from time to time outstanding under the Senior Note Indenture.
The New Bonds shall mature on June 15, 2017, and shall bear interest at the rate per annum set forth in the form of the New Bond contained in Section 3 of this Article I, payable semi-annually on the 15th day of June and the 15th day of December in each year, commencing on December 15, 2007, and at maturity. 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
12
legal tender for public and private debts, and shall be payable, in immediately available funds, at the office of the Senior Note Trustee.
Section 2. The New Bonds shall not be assignable or transferable except as permitted or required by Section 4.04 of the Senior Note 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.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6 of Article II of the Original Indenture, the New Bonds shall be dated the 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, or unless the date thereof is prior to December 15, 2007, in which case they shall bear interest from June 15, 2007; provided, however, that, subject to the provisions of this Section with respect to failure by the Company to pay any interest on an interest payment date, the holder of any New Bond dated after a record date (as hereinafter defined) for the payment of interest and prior to the date of payment of such interest shall not be entitled to payment of such interest and shall have no claim against the Company with respect thereto.
The person in whose name any New Bond is registered at the close of business on any record date with respect to any interest payment date shall be entitled to receive the interest payable on such interest payment date notwithstanding the cancellation of such Bond upon any transfer or exchange thereof subsequent to the record date and prior to such interest payment date, except if and to the extent the Company shall default in the payment of the interest due on such interest payment date, in which case such defaulted interest shall be paid to the person in whose name such Bond is registered on the date of payment of such defaulted interest or on a subsequent record date for such payment if one shall have been established as hereinafter provided. A subsequent record date may be established by the Company by notice mailed to the holders of the New Bonds not less than ten days preceding such record date, which record date shall be not more than thirty days prior to the subsequent interest payment date. The term “record date” as used in this Section with respect to any regular interest payment date shall mean the June 1 or December 1, as the case may be, next preceding such interest payment date, or, if such June 1 or December 1 shall be a legal holiday in the State of New York or in the State of Missouri or a day on which banking institutions in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or the City of St. Louis, Missouri, are authorized by law to close, the next preceding day which shall not be a legal holiday or a day on which such institutions are so authorized to close.
Upon any payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, all or any portion of the Senior Notes, whether at maturity or prior to maturity by redemption or otherwise or upon provision for the payment thereof having been made in accordance with Section 5.01(a) of the Senior Note Indenture, the New Bonds in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Senior Notes shall, to the extent of such payment of principal, premium, if any, 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 (and premium, if any), such New Bonds shall be surrendered to the Company for cancellation as provided in Section 4.08 of the Senior Note Indenture. The Trustee may at any time and all times conclusively assume that the obligation of the Company to make payments with respect to the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Senior Notes, so far as such payments at the time have become due, has been fully
13
satisfied and discharged pursuant to the foregoing sentence unless and until the Trustee shall have received a written notice from the Senior Note Trustee signed by one of its officers stating (i) the timely payment of principal, or premium, if any, or interest on, the Senior Notes has not been made, (ii) that the Company is in arrears as to the payments required to be made by it to the Senior Note Trustee pursuant to the Senior Note Indenture, and (iii) the amount of the arrearage.
Section 3. The New Bonds and the Trustee’s certificate on the New Bonds shall be substantially in the following forms respectively:
