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 “2.625% First Mortgage Bonds due 2051” (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.

 The New Bonds shall mature on March 15, 2051, 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 in arrears on the 15th day of March and the 15th day of September in each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”),
commencing on March 15, 2021, 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 legal tender for public and private debts,
and shall be payable, in immediately available funds, at the office of the Trustee. 
 Section 2.    The New Bonds
will be initially issued in global form registered in the name of CEDE & CO. (as nominee for The Depository Trust Company). The New Bonds will bear the depository legend in substantially the form set forth in Section 3 of this
Article I. Any transfer shall be effected at the principal office or place of business of the Trustee. 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 March 15, 2021, in which case they shall bear interest from October 9, 2020; 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 March 1 or September 1, as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date, or, if such March 1 or September 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.

 [FORM OF REVERSE OF NEW BOND] 

This Bond is one of a duly authorized issue of Bonds of the Company (herein called the “Bonds”), in unlimited aggregate principal
amount, of the series hereinafter specified, all issued and to be 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 Mellon, formerly 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, August 15, 2002 and May 15, 2012, 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 or consent of the holders of the Bonds
then outstanding as are specified in the Amended Indenture. No such modification or alteration shall be made which will affect the terms of payment of the principal of, or interest or premium 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 “2.625% First Mortgage
Bonds due 2051” (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 “New Supplemental Indenture”) dated
October 1, 2020, 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. 
 All or a portion of the Bonds of this Series may be
redeemed at the option of the Company at any time or from time to time. The redemption price for the Bonds of this Series to be redeemed on any redemption date prior to September 15, 2050 (six months prior to the Maturity Date) (the
“Par Call Date”) will be equal to the greater of the following amounts: (a) 100% of the principal amount of the Bonds of this Series being redeemed on that redemption date; or (b) the sum of the present values of the remaining
scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Bonds of this Series being redeemed on that redemption date that would be payable if such Bonds matured on the Par Call Date (not including any portion of any payments of interest accrued to the
redemption date) discounted to the redemption date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360 day year consisting of twelve 30 day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate (as defined below), plus 20 basis points, as determined by the Reference
Treasury Dealer (as defined below), plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date. The redemption price for the Bonds of this Series to be redeemed on any redemption date on or after the Par Call Date will be equal
to 100% of the principal amount of the Bonds of this Series being redeemed on that redemption date plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on Bonds of this
Series that are due and payable on Interest Payment Dates falling on or prior to a redemption date will be payable on the Interest Payment Date to the holder of this Bond as of the close of business on the relevant Record Date. 

With respect to a redemption occurring prior to the Par Call Date, the Company shall give the Trustee written notice of the redemption price
promptly after the calculation thereof and the Trustee shall not be responsible for such calculation. 
 The Company shall send notice of
any redemption at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each holder of the Bonds of this Series to be redeemed, and, if less than all Bonds of this Series are to be redeemed, the particular Bonds of
this Series to be redeemed will be selected by the Trustee by lot; provided that as long as the Bonds of this Series are represented by global certificates registered in the name of The Depository Trust Company, or its nominee, beneficial interests
in such global certificates will be selected for redemption by The Depository Trust Company in accordance with its standard procedures therefor. Unless the Company defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date,
interest will cease to accrue on the Bonds of this Series or portions thereof called for redemption. 

  
 10 













 Any notice of redemption at the Company’s option may state that such redemption will be
conditional upon receipt by the Trustee, on or prior to the redemption date, of money sufficient to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on, the Bonds of this Series or portions thereof called for redemption, and that if such money
has not been so received, such notice will be of no force and effect and the Company will not be required to redeem such Bonds or portions thereof. 

“ADJUSTED TREASURY RATE” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual 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. 

“COMPARABLE TREASURY ISSUE” means the United States Treasury security selected by the Reference Treasury Dealer as having a maturity
comparable to the remaining term of the Bonds of this Series to be redeemed (assuming, for this purpose, that the Bonds 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 Par Call Date. 
 “COMPARABLE TREASURY
PRICE” means, with respect to any redemption date, (A) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (B) if
the Company obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations, or (C) if only one Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation is received, such quotation. 

“REFERENCE TREASURY DEALER” means each of (A) Barclays Capital Inc., BofA Securities, Inc. and RBC Capital Markets, LLC, or, in
each case, an affiliate thereof, which are primary U.S. Government securities dealers in the United States (each, a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), and their respective successors; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to
be a Primary Treasury Dealer, the Company will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer; and (B) any other Primary Treasury Dealer(s) 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 Company, 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 Company by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m. (New
York City time) on the third Business Day preceding such redemption date. 
 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 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. 

  
 11 













 Each initial and future holder of this Bond, by its acquisition of an interest in this Bond,
irrevocably (a) consents to the amendments set forth in Article III of the Supplemental Indenture dated as of May 15, 2012, supplemental to the Amended Indenture, without any other or further action by any holder of this Bond, and
(b) designates the Trustee, and its successors, as its proxy with irrevocable instructions to vote and deliver written consents on behalf of such holder in favor of such amendments at any meeting of holders, in lieu of any meeting of holders,
in response to any consent solicitation or otherwise. 
 No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, 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, 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.
