 Exhibit 4.1 
 SECOND SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE 
 Dated as of July 21, 2011 

THIS SECOND SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE to the Indenture referred to below is dated as of July 21, 2011 (this “Second Supplemental
Indenture”) between AMEREN ILLINOIS COMPANY, an Illinois corporation (the “Company”), and THE BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON TRUST COMPANY, N.A. (formerly The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A.) (the “Trustee”). 

Central Illinois Light Company (“CILCO”) and the Trustee executed an Indenture, dated as of June 1, 2006 (as supplemented
and amended, the “Indenture”), providing, among other things, for the issuance from time to time of CILCO’s Notes. 
 $54,000,000 aggregate principal amount of CILCO’s 6.20% Senior Secured Notes due 2016 and $42,000,000 aggregate principal amount of CILCO’s 6.70% Senior Secured Notes due 2036 were authenticated
and delivered pursuant to the Company Order dated June 14, 2006 and remain outstanding as of the date hereof. 

$150,000,000 aggregate principal amount of CILCO’s 8.875% Senior Notes due 2013 were authenticated and delivered pursuant to the
Company Order dated December 9, 2008 and remain outstanding as of the date hereof. 
 On October 1, 2010, CILCO and
Illinois Power Company were merged into the Company whereby the Company was the surviving corporation. The Indenture was supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of October 1, 2010, pursuant to which the Company, among other
things, assumed the obligations of CILCO under the Indenture and the Notes and was substituted for CILCO under the Indenture. 

Pursuant to Section 13.01 of the Indenture, the Company, when authorized by Board Resolution, and the Trustee may enter into an
indenture supplemental to the Indenture for one or more of the purposes set forth in such Section 13.01 without the consent of the Holders of any of the Notes at the time outstanding, including to make such provision in regard to matters or
questions arising under the Indenture as may be necessary or desirable, and not inconsistent with the Indenture or prejudicial to the interests of the holders in any material respect, for the purpose of supplying any omission, curing any ambiguity,
or curing, correcting or supplementing any defective or inconsistent provision. 
 The Company has directed the Trustee to
execute and deliver this Second Supplemental Indenture in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. 
 All things necessary to
make this Second Supplemental Indenture the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company have been done. 
 In
