INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

          This Agreement is made as of the ____ day of November, 2005, by and
between Great Plains Energy Incorporated, a Missouri corporation (the
"Company"), and ______________ ("Indemnitee"), a Director or Officer of the
Company.

          WHEREAS, it is essential to the Company to retain and attract as
Directors and Officers the most capable persons available;

          WHEREAS, it is now and always has been the express policy of the
Company to indemnify its Directors and Officers so as to provide them with the
maximum possible protection permitted by law;

          WHEREAS, Indemnitee does not regard the protection available under the
Company's Articles of Consolidation and by-laws as adequate in the present
circumstances, and may not be willing to serve as a Director or Officer without
adequate protection, and the Company desires Indemnitee to serve in such
capacity;

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of Indemnitee
serving the Company directly or, at its request, another enterprise, and
intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

immediately following such transaction or series of transactions.

          2.          Basic Indemnification Arrangement. (a) In the event
Indemnitee was, is or becomes a party to or witness or other participant in, or
is threatened to be made a party to or witness or other participant in, a Claim
by reason of (or arising in part out of) an Indemnifiable Event, the Company
shall indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law as soon as
practicable but in any event no later than thirty days after written demand is
presented to the Company, against any and all Expenses, judgments, fines,
penalties and amounts paid in settlement (including all interest, assessments
and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such
Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties or amounts paid in settlement) of such
Claim. If so requested by Indemnitee, the Company shall advance (within two
business days of such request) any and all Expenses to Indemnitee (an "Expense
Advance").

                    (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the obligations of
the Company under Section 2(a) shall be subject to the condition that the
Reviewing Party shall not have determined (in a written opinion, in any case in
which the Independent Legal Counsel referred to in Section 3 hereof is involved)
that Indemnitee would not be permitted to be indemnified under applicable law,
and (ii) the obligation of the Company to make an Expense Advance pursuant to
Section 2(a) shall be subject to the condition that, if, when and to the extent
that the Reviewing Party determines that Indemnitee would not be permitted to be
so indemnified under applicable law, the Company shall be entitled to be
reimbursed by Indemnitee (who hereby agrees to reimburse the Company) for all
such amounts theretofore paid; provided, however, that if Indemnitee has
commenced or thereafter commences legal proceedings in a court of competent
jurisdiction to secure a determination that Indemnitee should be indemnified
under applicable law, any determination made by the Reviewing Party that
Indemnitee would not be permitted to be indemnified under applicable law shall
not be binding and Indemnitee shall not be required to reimburse the Company for
any Expense Advance until a final judicial determination is made with respect
thereto (as to which all rights of appeal therefrom have been exhausted or
lapsed). If there has not been a Change in Control, the Reviewing Party shall be
selected by the Board of Directors, and if there has been such a Change in
Control (other than a Change in Control which has been approved by a majority of
the Company's Board of Directors who were directors immediately prior to such
Change in Control), the Reviewing Party shall be the Independent Legal Counsel
referred to in Section 3 hereof. If there has been no determination by the
Reviewing Party or if the Reviewing Party determines that Indemnitee
substantively would not be permitted to be indemnified in whole or in part under
applicable law, Indemnitee shall have the right to commence litigation in any
court in the State of Missouri having subject matter jurisdiction thereof and in
which venue is proper seeking an initial determination by the court or
challenging any such determination by the Reviewing Party or any aspect thereof,
including the legal or factual bases therefor, and the Company hereby consents
to service of process and to appear in any such proceeding. Any determination by
the Reviewing Party otherwise shall be conclusive and binding on the Company and
Indemnitee.

                    (c)          The Company and Indemnitee agree that this
indemnification arrangement is based upon the statutory authorization in the
Missouri General and Business Corporation Law, (section symbol) 351.355, and in
particular subparts 6 and 7 thereof, by virtue of the provisions in Article
Thirteenth of the Company's Restated Articles of Consolidation, as amended
February 26, 2001. No provision of this Agreement shall permit the Company to
indemnify Indemnitee from or on account of Indemnitee's conduct which is finally
adjudged to have been knowingly fraudulent, deliberately dishonest or willful
misconduct.

          3.          Change in Control. The Company agrees that if there is a
Change in Control of the Company (other than a Change in Control which has been
approved by a majority of the Company's Board of Directors who were directors
immediately prior to such Change in Control) then with respect to all matters
thereafter arising concerning the rights of Indemnitee to indemnity payments and
Expense Advances under this Agreement or any other agreement or Company By-law
now or hereafter in effect relating to Claims for Indemnifiable Events, the
Company shall seek legal advice only from Independent Legal Counsel selected by
Indemnitee and approved by the Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld). Such counsel, among other things, shall render its written opinion to
the Company and Indemnitee as to whether and to what extent the Indemnitee would
be permitted to be indemnified under applicable law. The Company agrees to pay
the reasonable fees of the Independent Legal Counsel referred to above and to
fully indemnify such counsel against any and all expenses (including attorneys'
fees), claims, liabilities and damages arising out of or relating to this
Agreement or its engagement pursuant hereto.

          4.          Establishment of Trust. In the event of a Potential Change
in Control, the Company shall, upon written request by Indemnitee, create a
trust for the benefit of Indemnitee and from time to time upon written request
of Indemnitee shall fund such trust in an amount sufficient to satisfy any and
all Expenses reasonably anticipated at the time of each such request to be
incurred in connection with investigating, preparing for and defending any Claim
relating to an Indemnifiable Event, and any and all judgments, fines, penalties
and settlement amounts of any and all Claims relating to an Indemnifiable Event
from time to time actually paid or claimed, reasonably anticipated or proposed
to be paid, provided that in no event shall more than $1 million be required to
be deposited in any trust created hereunder in excess of amounts deposited in
respect of reasonably anticipated Expenses. The amount or amounts to be
deposited in the trust pursuant to the foregoing funding obligation shall be
determined by the Reviewing Party, in any case in which the Independent Legal
Counsel referred to above is involved. The terms of the trust shall provide that
upon a Change in Control (i) the trust shall not be revoked or the principal
thereof invaded, without the written consent of the Indemnitee, (ii) the trustee
shall advance, within two business days of a request by the Indemnitee, any and
all Expenses to the Indemnitee (and the Indemnitee hereby agrees to reimburse
the trust under the circumstances under which the Indemnitee would be required
to reimburse the Company under Section 2(b) of this Agreement), (iii) the trust
shall continue to be funded by the Company in accordance with the funding
obligation set forth above, (iv) the trustee shall promptly pay to Indemnitee
all amounts for which Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant
to this Agreement or otherwise, and (v) all unexpended funds in such trust shall
revert to the Company upon a final determination by the Reviewing Party or a
court of competent jurisdiction, as the case may be, that Indemnitee has been
fully indemnified under the terms of this Agreement. The trustee shall be chosen
by Indemnitee. Nothing in this Section 4 shall relieve the Company of any of its
obligations under this Agreement.

          5.          Indemnification for Additional Expenses. The Company shall
indemnify Indemnitee against any and all expenses (including attorneys' fees)
and, if requested by Indemnitee, shall (within two business days of such
request) advance such expenses to Indemnitee, which are incurred by Indemnitee
in connection with any action brought by Indemnitee for (i) indemnification or
advance payment of Expenses by the Company under this Agreement or any other
agreement or Company By-law now or hereafter in effect relating to Claims for
Indemnifiable Events and/or (ii) recovery under any directors' and officers'
liability insurance policies maintained by the Company, regardless of whether
Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such indemnification,
advance expense payment or insurance recovery, as the case may be.

          6.          Partial Indemnity, Etc. If Indemnitee is entitled under
any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a
portion of the Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in
settlement of a Claim but not, however, for all of the total amount thereof, the
Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion thereof to which
Indemnitee is entitled. Moreover, notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or
otherwise in defense of any or all Claims relating in whole or in part to an
Indemnifiable Event or in defense of any issue or matter therein, including
dismissal without prejudice, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all
Expenses incurred in connection therewith.

          7.          Burden of Proof. In connection with any determination by
the Reviewing Party or otherwise as to whether Indemnitee is entitled to be
indemnified hereunder the burden of proof shall be on the Company to establish
that Indemnitee is not so entitled.

          8.          No Presumptions. For purposes of this Agreement, the
termination of any claim, action, suit or proceeding, by judgment, order,
settlement (whether with or without court approval) or conviction, or upon a
plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not create a presumption that
Indemnitee did not meet any particular standard of conduct or have any
particular belief or that a court has determined that indemnification is not
permitted by applicable law. In addition, neither the failure of the Reviewing
Party to have made a determination as to whether Indemnitee has met any
particular standard of conduct or had any particular belief, nor an actual
determination by the Reviewing Party that Indemnitee has not met such standard
of conduct or did not have such belief, prior to the commencement of legal
proceedings by Indemnitee to secure a judicial determination that Indemnitee
should be indemnified under applicable law shall be a defense to Indemnitee's
claim or create a presumption that Indemnitee has not met any particular
standard of conduct or did not have any particular belief.

          9.          Nonexclusivity, Etc. The rights of the Indemnitee
hereunder shall be in addition to any other rights Indemnitee may have under the
Company's By-laws or the Missouri General and Business Corporation Law or
otherwise. To the extent that a change in the Missouri General and Business
Corporation Law (whether by statute or judicial decision) permits greater
indemnification by agreement than would be afforded currently under the
Company's By-laws and this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties hereto
that Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded
by such change.

          10.          Liability Insurance. To the extent the Company maintains
an insurance policy or policies providing directors' and officers' liability
insurance, Indemnitee shall be covered by such policy or policies, in accordance
with its or their terms, to the maximum extent of the coverage available for any
Company director or officer.

          11.          Period of Limitations. No legal action shall be brought
and no cause of action shall be asserted by or in the right of the Company
against Indemnitee, Indemnitee's spouse, heirs, executors or personal or legal
representatives after the expiration of two years from the date of accrual of
such cause of action, and any claim or cause of action of the Company shall be
extinguished and deemed released unless asserted by the timely filing of a legal
action within such two-year period; provided, however, that if any shorter
period of limitations is otherwise applicable to any such cause of action such
shorter period shall govern.

          12.          Amendments, Etc. No supplement, modification or amendment
of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by both of the
parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be
deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions hereof (whether or
not similar) nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

          13.          Subrogation. In the event of payment under this
Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all
of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required
and shall do everything that may be necessary to secure such rights, including
the execution of such documents necessary to enable the Company effectively to
bring suit to enforce such rights.

          14.          No Duplication of Payments. The Company shall not be
liable under this Agreement to make any payment in connection with any Claim
made against Indemnitee to the extent Indemnitee has otherwise actually received
payment (under any insurance policy, By-law or otherwise) of the amounts
otherwise indemnifiable hereunder. This Indemnification Agreement shall
supersede the Prior Agreement.

          15.          Binding Effect, Etc. This Agreement shall be binding upon
and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their
respective successors, assigns, including any direct or indirect successor by
purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise to all or substantially all of the
business and/or assets of the Company, spouses, heirs, executors and personal
and legal representatives. This Agreement shall continue in effect regardless of
whether Indemnitee continues to serve as an officer or director of the Company
or of any other enterprise at the Company's request.

          16.          Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be
severable in the event that any of the provisions hereof (including any
provision within a single section, paragraph or sentence) is held by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable in any
respect, and the validity and enforceability of any such provision in every
other respect and of the remaining provisions hereof shall not be in any way
impaired and shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

          17.          Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Missouri
applicable to contracts made and to be performed in such state without giving
effect to the principles of conflicts of laws.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement
this _____ day of November, 2005.
