ARTICLE I.

4.125% MORTGAGE BONDS, SERIES 2019 DUE 2049

SECTION 1. (a) There is hereby created a twenty-first series of Mortgage Bonds to be issued under and secured by the Indenture, to be designated as “4.125% Mortgage Bonds, Series 2019 due 2049” of the Company (the “Bonds of the Twenty-first Series”).

(b) The Bonds of the Twenty-first Series may be issued without limitation as to aggregate principal amount except as provided in the Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture. The Bonds of the Twenty-first Series shall be initially issued in the aggregate principal amount of $400,000,000; provided that the Company may, at any time, without the

consent of the Bondholders of the Outstanding Bonds of the Twenty-first Series, issue additional Bonds of the Twenty-first Series ranking equally and ratably with, and having the same interest rate, maturity and other terms (except for the price to the public, the issue date and the first interest payment date, as applicable) as, the Bonds of the Twenty-first Series. Any additional Bonds, together with the Bonds of the Twenty-first Series initially issued, will constitute a single series of general mortgage bonds under the Indenture; provided that if any such additional Bonds are not fungible for U.S. federal income tax purposes with the Bonds of the Twenty-first Series, such additional Bonds will be issued under a separate CUSIP number.

(c) The Bonds of the Twenty-first Series shall be registered Bonds without coupons and shall be dated as described in Section 2.03 of the Indenture except that the Bonds of the Twenty-first Series initially issued shall be dated March 27, 2019. All Bonds of the Twenty-first Series shall mature on April 1, 2049 (the “Maturity Date”), subject to prior redemption pursuant to Section 2 of this Article I.

(d) All Bonds of the Twenty-first Series shall be issued initially in the form of one or more global bonds (each such global bond, a “Global Bond”) to or on behalf of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), as depositary therefor (in such capacity, the “Depositary”), and registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee.

(e) The principal and interest on the Bonds of the Twenty-first Series shall be payable in lawful money of the United States of America. The place where such principal shall be payable shall be at the principal office of the Trustee in Kansas City, Missouri (or at the principal office of any successor in trust). The place where interest shall be payable shall be the principal office of the Trustee in Kansas City, Missouri (or at the principal office of any successor in trust), or by check mailed to the Registered Holders of the Bonds of the Twenty-first Series. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to Bonds of the Twenty-first Series in the form of one or more Global Bonds registered in the name of DTC or its nominee, the Company may make payments of principal of, redemption price of, and interest on such Global Bond pursuant to and in accordance with such arrangements as are agreed upon by the Company and the Depositary.

(f) The Bonds of the Twenty-first Series shall bear interest at the rate of 4.125% per annum from the date of issuance or from the most recent interest payment date to which interest has been paid or provided for, payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning on October 1, 2019, to the persons in whose names the Bonds of the Twenty-first Series are registered at the close of business on the record date for such interest payment date, which will be (i) the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding such interest payment date so long as all of the Bonds of the Twenty-first Series remain in book-entry only form or (ii) the 15th calendar day immediately preceding each interest payment date if any of the Bonds of the Twenty-first Series do not remain in book-entry only form, whether or not such day is a Business Day. The term “Business Day” means, with respect to the Bonds of the Twenty-first Series, any day other than a day on which banking institutions in New York, New York are authorized or required by law to close.

(g) The Company shall have no obligation to redeem or purchase any Bonds of the Twenty-first Series pursuant to any sinking fund or analogous requirement or upon the happening of a specified event or at the option of a holder of any Bonds of the Twenty-first Series.

(h) The Bonds of the Twenty-first Series shall be subject to redemption as set forth in Section 2 of this Article I.

(i) So long as there is no existing default in the payment on the Bonds of the Twenty-first Series, the person in whose name any Bond of the Twenty-first Series 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 any transfer or exchange of such Bond of the Twenty-first Series subsequent to the record date and on or prior to such interest payment date, except as and to the extent the Company shall default in the payment of the interest due on such interest payment date, in which case defaulted interest shall be paid to the person in whose name such Bond of the Twenty-first Series is registered on the date of payment of such defaulted interest.

As used in this Section 1, the term “default in the payment of interest” means failure to pay interest due on the applicable interest payment date disregarding any period of grace permitted by Section 12.02 of the Original Indenture, and the term “record date” with respect to each interest payment date is defined in Section 1(f) above.

SECTION 2. Except as described in Article IX of the Original Indenture and this Section 2, the Bonds of the Twenty-first Series may not be redeemed prior to the Maturity Date. Prior to the Par Call Date, the Company shall have the right to redeem the Bonds of the Twenty-first Series, at its option, in whole or from time to time in part, at a redemption price equal to the greater of:

(a) 100% of the principal amount of the Bonds of the Twenty-first Series being redeemed; and

(b) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Bonds of the Twenty-first Series being redeemed that would be due if the Bonds of the Twenty-first Series matured on the Par Call Date (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued as of the date of redemption), discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a360-day year consisting of twelve30-day months) at the Treasury Rate, plus 20 basis points,

plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Bonds of the Twenty-first Series being redeemed to, but excluding, the redemption date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as there is no existing default in the payment on the Bonds of the Twenty-first Series, installments of interest on the Bonds of the Twenty-first Series that are due and payable on an interest payment date falling on or prior to a redemption date shall be payable on such interest payment date to the Registered Holders of the Bonds of the Twenty-first Series as of the close of business on the relevant record date according to the Bonds of the Twenty-first Series and the Indenture, except as and to the extent the Company shall default in the payment of the interest due on such interest payment date, in which case defaulted interest shall be paid to the person in whose name such Bond of the Twenty-first Series is registered on the date of payment of such defaulted interest.

On or after the Par Call Date, the Company shall have the right to redeem the Bonds of the Twenty-first Series, at its option, in whole or from time to time in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Bonds of the Twenty-first Series being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Bonds of the Twenty-first Series being redeemed to, but excluding, the redemption date.

For purposes of this Section 2:

“Comparable Treasury Issue”means the United States Treasury security selected by the Quotation Agent as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Bonds of the Twenty-first Series to be redeemed (assuming, for this purpose, that the Bonds of the Twenty-first Series matured on the Par Call Date) that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the Bonds of the Twenty-first Series.

“Comparable Treasury Price”means, with respect to any redemption date: (1) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations; (2) if the Quotation Agent obtains fewer than four of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations; or (3) if only one Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation is received, such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation.

“Par Call Date” means October 1, 2048.

“Quotation Agent”means the Reference Treasury Dealer appointed by the Company.

“Reference Treasury Dealer”means: (1) BNP Paribas Securities Corp. or its affiliates and successors, unless it ceases to be a primary U.S. government securities dealer in the United States of America (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), in which case the Company will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer; (2) a Primary Treasury Dealer selected by each of BNY Mellon Capital Markets, LLC, PNC Capital Markets LLC and SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc.; and (3) one other Primary Treasury Dealer selected by the Company.

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations”means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Quotation Agent, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Quotation Agent by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such redemption date.

“Treasury Rate”means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date.

Except as hereinafter provided, notice of redemption of Bonds of the Twenty-first Series shall be mailed by or on behalf of the Company, postage prepaid, at least ten and not more than forty days prior to such date of redemption, to the registered owners of all Bonds of the Twenty-first Series to be so redeemed, at their respective addresses appearing upon the registry books. Any notice which is mailed as herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been properly and sufficiently given on the date of such mailing, whether or not the holder receives the notice. In any case, failure to give due notice by mail, or any defect in the notice, to the registered owners of any Bonds of the Twenty-first Series called for redemption as a whole or in part, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Bond.

SECTION 3. Bonds of the Twenty-first Series shall be issued in minimum denominations of $2,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof and numbered consecutively from “R1” upward.

The form of the Bonds of the Twenty-first Series shall be substantially as follows (any of the provisions of such Bond may be set forth on the reverse side thereof):

(FORM OF BOND OF THE TWENTY-FIRST SERIES)

For so long as this Global Bond is deposited with or on behalf of The Depository Trust Company, it shall bear the following legend:

This security is a global security within the meaning of the Indenture hereinafter referred to and is registered in the name of a depositary or a nominee thereof. This security may not be exchanged in whole or in part for a security registered, and no transfer of this security in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any person other than such depositary or a nominee thereof, except in the limited circumstances described in the indenture or any supplement thereto.

Unless this certificate is presented by an authorized representative of The Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation (“DTC”), to Kansas City Power & Light Company or its agent for registration of transfer, exchange or payment, and any certificate issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in such other name as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC (and any payment is made to Cede & Co. or to such other entity as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE, OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL inasmuch as the registered owner hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein.
