          provisions of this ARTICLE THIRD, shares of the Company issued
          and thereafter acquired by the Company may be disposed of by the
          Company for such consideration as may be fixed from time to time

     Notwithstanding ARTICLE ELEVENTH or any other provisions of

may be specified by law), this ARTICLE TWELFTH may not be

the holders of at least 80% or more of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock of the Company entitled to vote.

     ARTICLE THIRTEENTH.  (a)  Right to Indemnification.  Each
person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a
party to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or
she is or was a Director or officer of the Company or is or was
an employee of the Company acting within the scope and course of
his or her employment or is or was serving at the request of the
Company as a Director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit
plans, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company to
the fullest extent authorized by The Missouri General and
Business Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be
amended, against all expense, liability and loss (including
attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or
penalties and amounts paid to or to be paid in settlement)
actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection
therewith.  The Company may in its discretion by action of its
Board of Directors provide indemnification to agents of the
Company as provided for in this ARTICLE THIRTEENTH.  Such
indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to
be a Director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the
benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators.

     (b)  Rights Not Exclusive.  The indemnification and other
rights provided by this ARTICLE THIRTEENTH shall not be deemed
exclusive of any other rights to which a person may be entitled
under any applicable law, By-laws of the Company, agreement, vote
of shareholders or disinterested Directors or otherwise, both as
to action in such person's official capacity and as to action in
any other capacity while holding the office of Director or
officer, and the Company is hereby expressly authorized by the
shareholders of the Company to enter into agreements with its
Directors and officers which provide greater indemnification
rights than that generally provided by The Missouri General and
Business Corporation Law; provided, however, that no such further
indemnity shall indemnify any person from or on account of such
Director's or officer's conduct which was finally adjudged to
have been knowingly fraudulent, deliberately dishonest or willful
misconduct.  Any such agreement providing for further indemnity
entered into pursuant to this ARTICLE THIRTEENTH after the date
of approval of this ARTICLE THIRTEENTH by the Company's
shareholders need not be further approved by the shareholders of
the Company in order to be fully effective and enforceable.

     (c)  Insurance.  The Company may purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of any person who was or is a Director,
officer, employee or agent of the Company, or was or is serving
at the request of the Company as a Director, officer, employee or
agent of another Company, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise against any liability asserted against or
incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of
his or her status as such, whether or not the Company would have
the power to indemnify such person against such liability under
the provisions of this ARTICLE THIRTEENTH.

     (d)  Amendment.  This ARTICLE THIRTEENTH may be hereafter
amended or repealed; however, no amendment or repeal shall
reduce, terminate or otherwise adversely affect the right of a
person entitled to obtain indemnification or an advance of
expenses with respect to an action, suit or proceeding that
pertains to or arises out of actions or omissions that occur
prior to the later of (a) the effective date of such amendment or
repeal; (b) the expiration date of such person's then current
term of office with, or service for, the Company (provided such
person has a stated term of office or service and completes such
term); or (c) the effective date such person resigns his or her
office or terminates his or

				4

<PAGE>

her service (provided such person has a stated term of office or
service but resigns prior to the expiration of such term).

     ARTICLE FOURTEEN.  Any act or transaction by or involving
the Company that requires for its adoption pursuant to Chapter
351 of the Missouri General and Business Corporation Law or these
Restated Articles of Consolidation the approval of the
shareholders of the Company shall, pursuant to Section 351.448 of
the Missouri General and Business Corporation Law, require, in
addition, the approval of the shareholders of Great Plains Energy
Incorporated, a Missouri corporation, or any successor thereto by
merger, by the same vote as is required pursuant to Chapter 351
of the Missouri General and Business Corporation Law or the
Restated Articles of Consolidation of the Company.
