issued and to be issued thereunder, or any of them, without preference of any of
said Bonds and  coupons of any  particular  series over the Bonds and coupons of
any other  series,  by  reason of  priority  in the time of the  issue,  sale or
negotiation  thereof,  or by  reason  of  the  purpose  of  issue  or  otherwise
howsoever,  except as  otherwise  provided  in  Section 2 of  Article  IV of the
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-

<PAGE>

     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:

rate  payable on the  Authority  Bonds.  Interest on this Bond is payable on the
same dates as interest on the  Authority  Bonds,  or, if this Bond shall be duly
called for  redemption,  until the  redemption  date,  or if the  Company  shall

on, this Bond are payable, in immediately  available funds, at the office of the

                                       THE BANK OF NEW YORK, as Trustee

                          [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
Association,  formerly  Boatmen's Trust Company),  as trustee (herein called the
"Trustee"),  as amended by  indentures  supplemental  thereto dated May 1, 1941,
April 1, 1971,  February 1, 1974, July 7, 1980,  February 1, 2000 and August 15,
2002,  between the Company and the Trustee (said mortgage and deed of trust,  as
so amended,  being herein  called the  "Amended  Indenture"),  to which  Amended
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

                                      -17-

<PAGE>

Bonds entitled to vote then outstanding,  at a meeting of Bondholders called and
held as provided in the Amended  Indenture,  and by an  affirmative  vote of not
less  than 60% in  amount  of the  Bonds of any  series  entitled  to vote  then
outstanding and affected by such modification or alteration, in case one or more
but less than all of the  series of Bonds  then  outstanding  under the  Amended
Indenture  are so  affected.  Additionally,  the  Company  may amend 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
holders  of at least 60% in  principal  amount of each  series of Bonds so to be
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
the "First Mortgage Bonds,  Environmental Improvement Series 2004G (1991 Bonds)"
(herein  called the "Bonds of this  Series") of the  Company,  issued  under and
secured by the Amended  Indenture and  described in the  indenture  (hereinafter
called the "Supplemental Indenture") dated February 1, 2004, between the Company
and the Trustee, supplemental to the Amended Indenture.

     The  Bonds  of  this  Series  are  not  entitled  to  the  benefit  of  any
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
the redemption of the Authority Bonds.

     This Bond is also subject to mandatory  redemption at the principal  amount
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-

<PAGE>

     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.

     Section 4.1.  That the Company is lawfully  seized and  possessed of all of
the mortgaged  property  described in the granting clauses of this  Supplemental
Indenture;  that it has good right and lawful  authority to mortgage the same as

the  actual  date of the issue of the New  Bonds,  free and clear of any deed of
trust,  mortgage,  lien,  charge or  encumbrance  thereon or affecting the title
thereto  prior to the  Original  Indenture,  except as set forth in the granting
clauses of the Original Indenture or this Supplemental Indenture.

     Section  4.2.  That,  so  long  as any of the New  Bonds  are  outstanding,
whenever any officers' certificate is required to be filed or deposited with the
Trustee  pursuant to Section 3(b) of Article III of the Original  Indenture upon
an application for the  authentication  of additional  Bonds pursuant to Article
III of the Original  Indenture,  such officers'  certificate  shall include,  in
addition to the matters  required to be stated therein by said Section 3(b), the

after property retirement  appropriations  required by Section 2 of Article V of
the Supplemental Indenture of July 1, 1956.

maintenance and improvement funds under any provision of the Original  Indenture
or the Supplemental  Indentures  creating prior series of Bonds, on the basis of
the amount of $15,000,000 excluded from net bondable value of property additions
not subject to an unfunded  prior lien pursuant to Section 3 of Article V of the
Supplemental  Indenture  of October  1,  1945,  or on the basis of the amount of
$7,500,000 excluded from net bondable value of property additions not subject to
an unfunded  prior lien  pursuant to Section 3 of Article V of the  Supplemental
Indenture of July 1, 1956.

     Section 4.4.  That,  so long as any of the New Bonds are  outstanding,  the
Company will not issue or permit to be issued any prior lien bonds secured by an
unfunded prior lien in addition to the prior lien bonds secured by such unfunded
prior lien at the time of first  acquisition by the Company of property  subject
thereto  (other  than in lieu of  lost,  stolen  or  mutilated  bonds  or on the
exchange for bonds already  outstanding  of an equal  principal  amount of other
bonds of the same issue and the same series,  if any, and of the same maturity),
except upon  compliance  with the  provisions of Section 16 of Article IV of the
Original  Indenture,  nor unless the net earnings of the Company  available  for
interest after  property  retirement  appropriations  (determined as provided in
Section 2 of Article V of the  Supplemental  Indenture of July 1, 1956), for any
12  consecutive  calendar  months  during  the  period  of  15  calendar  months
immediately  preceding the first day of the month in which the additional  prior
lien bonds are to be issued, have been, in the aggregate, equal to not less than
twice the annual interest charges on the indebtedness specified in subparagraphs
(i) and (ii) of paragraph (1) of Section 2(a) of said Article V; provided  that,
if the application for the issue of such additional prior lien bonds is upon the
basis of payment at maturity of prior lien bonds  theretofore  sold or otherwise
disposed of or the  redemption or purchase  thereof after a date two years prior
to the date of maturity,  the additional  requirement  imposed by this Section 4
with  respect to net  earnings  of the  Company  available  for  interest  after
property retirement  appropriations  shall not apply. Any officers'  certificate
with  respect to net  earnings  of the  Company,  required  to be filed with the
Trustee as a  condition  precedent  to the issue of such  additional  prior lien
bonds, shall include, in addition to the matters otherwise required to be stated
therein, the matters required to be stated in an officers'  certificate pursuant
to paragraphs (1) and (2) of Section 2(a) of said Article V.

     Section 4.5.  That,  so long as any of the New Bonds are  outstanding,  the
Company will not acquire, by purchase, merger or otherwise, any property subject
to a lien or liens which will on  acquisition be an unfunded prior lien or prior
liens, except upon compliance with the provisions of Section 14 of Article IV of
the Original  Indenture,  nor unless the net earnings of such property available
for interest after property retirement appropriations  (determined in the manner
provided  in Section 2 of  Article V of the  Supplemental  Indenture  of July 1,
1956),  for any 12 consecutive  calendar months during the period of 15 calendar
months  immediately  preceding  the  first  day of the  month in which the first
acquisition of property subject to such lien or liens occurs,  have been, in the
aggregate,  equal to not less than twice the amount of annual interest  charges,
on all  outstanding  indebtedness  secured by such lien or liens.  Any officers'
certificate with respect to net earnings of such property,  required to be filed
with the Trustee as a condition  precedent to the  acquisition of such property,
shall  include,  in  addition  to the  matters  otherwise  required to be stated
therein, the matters required to be stated in an officers'  certificate pursuant
to Section 2 of said Article V applicable,  however, only to the net earnings of
such  property  and to the  indebtedness  secured  by such  liens to which  such
property is subject.
