Receivables Sale Agreement

Receivables Sale Agreement, dated as of July 1, 2005 (the "Agreement"), among Kansas City Power & Light Receivables Company, a Delaware corporation, as Seller (the "Seller"), Kansas City Power & Light Company, a Missouri corporation, as initial Collection Agent (the "Initial Collection Agent," and, together with any successor thereto, the "Collection Agent"), The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, Ltd., New York Branch, as agent for the Purchaser (the "Agent"), and Victory Receivables Corporation, as Purchaser (the "Purchaser"). Capitalized terms used herein, and certain rules of construction, are defined in Schedule I.

The parties hereto agree as follows:

Article I
Purchases from Seller and Settlements

Section 1.1.     	Sales

(a)   The Purchase Interest. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Purchaser shall, from time to time before the Termination Date, purchase from the Seller an undivided percentage ownership interest in the Receivables, the Related Security and all related Collections. Any such purchase (a "Purchase") shall be made by the Purchaser remitting funds to the Seller, through the Agent, pursuant to Section 1.1(c) or by the Collection Agent remitting Collections to the Seller pursuant to Section 1.1(d). The aggregate percentage ownership interest so acquired by the Purchaser in the Receivables, the Related Security and related Collections (its "Purchase Interest") shall equal at any time the following quotient:



|IER | + RP
|--- | ----

where:

| | I  | = | the outstanding Investment of the Purchaser at such time;
| | -- | - | ---------------------------------------------------------
| |    |   |                                                          
| | ER | = | the Eligible Receivables Balance at such time; and       
| |    |   |                                                          
| | RP | = | the Reserve Percentage at such time;                     

provided, however,

(b)   The Purchaser's first Purchase and each additional Purchase by the Purchaser not made from Collections pursuant to Section 1.1(d) is referred to herein as an "Incremental Purchase." Each Purchase made by the Purchaser with the proceeds of Collections which does not increase the outstanding Investment of the Purchaser, is referred to herein as a "Reinvestment Purchase."

(c)   Incremental Purchases. In order to request an Incremental Purchase from the Purchaser, the Seller must provide to the Agent an irrevocable written request (including by telecopier or other facsimile communication), substantially in the form of Exhibit A, by 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) three Business Days before the requested date (the "Purchase Date") of such Purchase, specifying the requested Purchase Date (which must be a Business Day) and the requested amount (the "Purchase Amount") of such Purchase, which must be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and multiples thereof (or, if less, an amount equal to the Maximum Incremental Purchase Amount). The Agent shall promptly notify the Purchaser of the contents of any such request. Subject to Section 7.2 and the other terms and conditions hereof, the Purchaser shall transfer to the Agent's Account the amount of such Incremental Purchase on the requested Purchase Date. The Agent shall transfer to the Seller Account the proceeds of any Incremental Purchase delivered into the Agent's Account.

(d)   Reinvestment Purchases. On each day before the Termination Date that any Collections are received by the Collection Agent and no Interim Liquidation is in effect the Purchase Interest in such Collections shall automatically be used to make a Reinvestment Purchase by the Purchaser.

Section 1.2.     	Interim Liquidations.

(a)   Optional. The Seller may at any time direct that Reinvestment Purchases cease and that an Interim Liquidation commence by giving the Agent and the Collection Agent at least three Business Days prior written (including telecopy or other facsimile communication) notice specifying the date on which the Interim Liquidation shall commence and, if desired, when such Interim Liquidation shall cease (identified as a specific date prior to the Termination Date or as when the Investment is reduced to a specified amount). If the Seller does not so specify the date on which an Interim Liquidation shall cease, it may cause such Interim Liquidation to cease at any time before the Termination Date, subject to Section 1.2(b) below, by notifying the Agent and the Collection Agent in writing (including by telecopy or other facsimile communication) at least three Business Days before the date on which it desires such Interim Liquidation to cease.

(b)   Mandatory. If at any time before the Termination Date any condition in Section 7.2 to the making of Reinvestment Purchases is not satisfied, the Seller shall immediately notify the Agent and the Collection Agent, whereupon Reinvestment Purchases shall cease and an Interim Liquidation shall commence, which shall cease only upon the Seller confirming to the Agent that the conditions in Section 7.2 are satisfied. If on the first day of the Seasonal Period and prior to the Termination Date, outstanding Investment exceeds the Purchase Limit, the Seller shall immediately notify the Agent and the Collection Agent whereupon Reinvestment Purchases shall cease and an Interim Liquidation shall commence (a "Seasonal Interim Liquidation"), which Seasonal Interim Liquidation shall cease only upon the Seller confirming to the Agent that outstanding Investment is less than the Purchase Limit.

Section 1.3.   	Discount Rates and Tranche Periods.  The Agent shall, from time to time for purposes of computing Discount, divide the Investment into Tranches, and the applicable Discount Rate may be different for each Tranche. All Investment shall be allocated to Tranches by the Agent to reflect the funding sources for the Investment, so that:

(a)   there will be one or more Tranches, selected by the Agent, reflecting the portion of the Investment funded by outstanding Liquidity Advances or by funding under the Enhancement Agreement;

(b)   there will be a Tranche equal to the excess of Investment over the aggregate amounts allocated at such time pursuant to clause (a) above, which Tranche shall reflect the portion of the Investment funded by Commercial Paper Notes; and

(c)   for purposes of allocating the Investment to Tranches, the Agent shall use reasonable efforts to allocate the Investment to Tranches funded with Commercial Paper Notes so long as, in the reasonable determination of the Agent, (i) the sale of Commercial Paper Notes is possible and (ii) such allocation will not adversely affect the rating of the Commercial Paper Notes.

Section 1.4.   	Fees and Other Costs and Expenses.  (a) The Seller shall pay to the Agent for the benefit of the Purchaser, such amounts as agreed to with the Purchaser and the Agent in the Fee Letter.

(b)   If any Affected Party incurs any loss or expense (including any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Affected Party), at any time, as a result of (a) any settlement (including any full or partial repayment of Investment) with respect to any Tranche funded by Pooled Commercial Paper, being made on any day other than the applicable Settlement Date, (b) any settlement (including any full or partial repayment of Investment, with respect to any Tranche, however so funded, other than by Pooled Commercial Paper, being made on any day other than the scheduled last day of an applicable Tranche Period with respect thereto, or (c) any Purchase not being made in accordance with a request therefore under Section 1.1, upon written notice from the Agent to the Seller and the Collection Agent, the Seller shall pay to the Collection Agent, and the Collection Agent shall pay to the Agent for the account of the Affected Parties, on the next Settlement Date the amount of such loss or expense. Such written notice shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding upon the Seller and the Collection Agent. If an Affected Party incurs any loss or expense (including any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Affected Party), at any time, and is not entitled to reimbursement for such loss or expense in the manner set forth above, such Affected Party shall individually bear such loss or expense without recourse to or payment from any other Affected Party.

(c)   Investment and Discount shall not be recourse obligations of the Seller and shall be payable solely from Collections and from amounts payable under Sections 1.5, 1.7 and 6.1 (to the extent amounts paid under Section 6.1 indemnify against reductions in or non-payment of Receivables). The Seller shall pay, as a full recourse obligation, all other amounts payable hereunder. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event will the Discount charged and payable hereunder exceed any maximum interest rate imposed by applicable law or regulations.

Section 1.5.   	Maintenance of Purchase Interest; Deemed Collection.

(a)   General. If at any time before the Termination Date the Eligible Receivables Balance is less than the sum of the Investment (or, if a Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Matured Investment) plus the Aggregate Reserve, the Seller shall pay to the Agent an amount equal to such deficiency for application to reduce the Investment, applied first to the Tranches with the shortest remaining maturities unless otherwise specified by the Seller.

(b)   Deemed Collections. If on any day the outstanding balance of a Receivable is reduced or cancelled as a result of any defective or rejected goods or services, any cash discount or adjustment (including any adjustment resulting from the application of any special refund or other discounts or any reconciliation), any setoff or credit (whether such claim or credit arises out of the same, a related, or an unrelated transaction) or other similar reason not arising from the financial inability of the Obligor to pay undisputed indebtedness, the Seller shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection on such Receivable in the amount of such reduction or cancellation. If on any day any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement of the Seller related to a Receivable is not true or is not satisfied, the Seller shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection in the amount of the outstanding balance of such Receivable. All such Collections deemed received by the Seller under this Section 1.5(b) shall be remitted by the Seller to the Collection Agent in accordance with Section 5.1(i).

(c)   Adjustment to Purchase Interest. At any time before the Termination Date that the Seller is deemed to have received any Collection under Section 1.5(b) ("Deemed Collections") that derives from a Receivable that is otherwise reported as an Eligible Receivable, so long as no Liquidation Period then exists, the Seller may satisfy its obligation to deliver such amount to the Collection Agent by instead notifying the Agent that the Purchase Interest should be recalculated by decreasing the Eligible Receivables Balance by the amount of such Deemed Collections, so long as such adjustment does not cause the Purchase Interest to exceed 100%.

(d)   Payment Assumption. Unless an Obligor otherwise specifies or another application is required by contract or law, any payment received by the Seller from any Obligor shall be applied as a Collection of Receivables of such Obligor (starting with the oldest such Receivable) and remitted to the Collection Agent as such.

Section 1.6.   	Reduction in Purchase Limit.  The Seller may, upon thirty days notice to the Agent, reduce the Purchase Limit in increments of $1,000,000, so long as the Purchase Limit as so reduced equals at least the outstanding Investment.

Section 1.7.   	Optional Repurchases.  On any Settlement Date the Investment is less than 10% of the Purchase Limit in effect on the date hereof, the Seller may, upon thirty days notice to the Agent, repurchase the entire Purchase Interest from the Purchaser at a price equal to the outstanding Matured Investment and all other amounts then owed hereunder.

Section 1.8.   	Security Interest.  (a) The Seller hereby grants to the Agent, for its own benefit and for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in all Receivables, Related Security, Collections, the Collection Accounts, and Lock-Boxes and all of the Seller's right, title, and interest in, to and under the Purchase Agreement to secure the payment of all amounts owing hereunder. The Seller and Collection Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto any Collections received pending their application pursuant to Article II hereof. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Termination Event, the Seller and Collection Agent shall not, without the prior written consent of the Agent, distribute any Collections to any Person other than the Agent and the Purchaser (and to the Collection Agent, in payment of the Collection Agent Fee to the extent permitted hereto) until all amounts owed under the Transaction Documents to the Agent and the Purchaser shall have been indefeasibly paid in full.

(b)   The Seller shall file and record all financing statements, continuation statements and other documents required to perfect or protect such security interest. All provisions of the Purchase Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and may be relied upon by, the Agent and the Secured Parties. At any time that a Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Agent shall have the sole right to enforce the Seller's rights and remedies under the Purchase Agreement to the same extent as the Seller could absent this assignment, but without any obligation on the part of the Secured Parties to perform any of the obligations of the Seller under the Purchase Agreement (or the promissory note executed thereunder). All amounts distributed to the Seller under the Purchase Agreement from Receivables sold to the Seller thereunder shall constitute Collections hereunder and shall be applied in accordance herewith.

(c)   This agreement shall be a security agreement for purposes of the UCC. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Termination Event, the Agent shall have all rights and remedies provided under the UCC as in effect in all applicable jurisdictions.

Article II
Allocations

Section 2.1.   	Allocations and Distributions.

(a)   Settlement Dates. On the Business Day following each Deposit Date occurring prior to the Termination Date (unless an Interim Liquidation is in effect), the Collection Agent shall set aside from Collections the amounts necessary to make all distributions to the Agent, the Purchaser and the Collection Agent required by this Section 2.1(a) with respect to the next succeeding Settlement Date. The balance of such Collections shall be released to the Seller on a daily basis. On each Settlement Date prior to the Termination Date (unless an Interim Liquidation is in effect), all Collections so set aside during the preceding Settlement Period shall be applied where applicable by the Collection Agent (or, if the Agent is then in control of any Collections, by the Agent) in the following order:

(i)   to the Agent, all fees and other amounts due and payable to the Agent pursuant to the Transaction Documents;

(ii)   to the Purchaser, all Discount due and payable on such date; and

(iii)   to the Collection Agent, the Collection Agent Fee and other amounts due and payable to the Collection Agent;

(iv)   to the Seller, all remaining funds.

On the last day of each Tranche Period, the Collection Agent (or, if the Agent is then in control of any Collections, the Agent) shall pay Discount due and payable to the Purchaser from amounts set aside for such purpose pursuant to this Section 2.1(a).

If any part of the Purchase Interest in any Collections is applied to pay any amounts that are recourse obligations of the Seller pursuant to Section 1.4(c) and after giving effect to such application the Purchase Interest is greater than 100%, the Seller shall pay, as a recourse obligation for distribution as part of the Purchase Interest in Collections, to the Collection Agent the amount so applied to the extent necessary so that after giving effect to such payment the Purchase Interest is no greater than 100%, for distribution as part of the Purchase Interest in Collections.

(b)   Termination Date and Interim Liquidations.On each day during any Interim Liquidation and on each day on and after the Termination Date (unless the events giving rise to such Termination Date have been waived), the Collection Agent shall set aside and hold in trust solely for the account of the Agent, for the benefit of the Agent and the Purchaser, (or deliver to the Agent, if so instructed pursuant to Section 3.2(a)) all Collections received on such day and such Collections shall be allocated in the following order:

(i)   to the Agent until all amounts owed to the Agent pursuant to the Transaction Documents have been paid in full;

(ii)   to the Purchaser until the Investment, Discount and all amounts owed to the Purchaser pursuant to the Transaction Documents have been paid in full;

(iii)   to the Collection Agent, the Collection Agent Fee and other amounts due and payable to the Collection Agent;

(iv)   to any other Person (other than the Seller, the Collection Agent or an Originator) to whom any amounts are owed under the Transaction Documents until all such amounts have been paid in full; and

(v)   to the Seller (or as otherwise required by applicable law).

Unless an Interim Liquidation has ended by such date, on the last day of each Tranche Period (unless otherwise instructed by the Agent pursuant to Section 3.2(a)), the Collection Agent shall deposit into the Agent's Account (for the benefit of the Agent and the Purchaser), from such set aside Collections, all amounts allocated to such Tranche Period and all Tranche Periods that ended before such date that are due in accordance with clauses (i) and (ii) above. No distributions shall be made to pay amounts under clauses (iii) and (iv) until sufficient Collections have been set aside to pay all amounts described in clauses (i) and (ii) that may become payable for all then-outstanding Tranche Periods. All distributions by the Agent shall be made ratably within each priority level in accordance with the respective amounts then due each Person included in such level unless otherwise agreed by the Agent and the Purchaser. If any part of the Purchase Interest in any Collections is applied to pay any amounts payable hereunder that are recourse obligations of the Seller pursuant to Section 1.4(c) and after giving effect to such application the Purchase Interest is greater than 100%, the Seller shall pay, as a recourse obligation for distribution as part of the Purchase Interest in Collections, to the Collection Agent the amount so applied to the extent necessary so that after giving effect to such payment the Purchase Interest is no greater than 100%, for distribution as part of the Purchase in Collections.

Article III
Administration and Collections

Section 3.1.   	Appointment of Collection Agent.  (a) The servicing, administering and collecting of the Receivables shall be conducted by a Person (the "Collection Agent") designated to so act on behalf of the Purchaser under this Article III. As the Initial Collection Agent, the Originator is hereby designated as, and agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the Collection Agent. The Originator acknowledges that the Agent and the Purchaser have relied on the Originator's agreement to act as Collection Agent (and the agreement of any of the sub-collection agents to so act) in making the decision to execute and deliver this Agreement and agrees that it will not voluntarily resign as Collection Agent. At any time after the occurrence of a Collection Agent Replacement Event, the Agent may designate a new Collection Agent to succeed the Originator (or any successor Collection Agent).

(b)   The Originator may delegate its duties and obligations as Collection Agent to an Affiliate (acting as a sub-collection agent). Notwithstanding such delegation, the Originator shall remain primarily liable for the performance of the duties and obligations so delegated, and the Agent and the Purchaser shall have the right to look solely to the Originator for such performance. The Agent may at any time upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Collection Agent Replacement Event remove or replace any sub-collection agent.

(c)   If replaced, the replaced Collection Agent agrees it will terminate, and will cause each existing sub-collection agent to terminate, its collection activities in a manner reasonably requested by the Agent to facilitate the transition to a new Collection Agent. The replaced Collection Agent shall cooperate with and assist any new Collection Agent (including providing access to, and transferring, all Records and allowing (to the extent permitted by applicable law and contract) the new Collection Agent to use all licenses, hardware or software necessary or desirable to collect the Receivables). The Originator irrevocably agrees to act (if requested to do so) as the data-processing agent for any new Collection Agent in substantially the same manner as the Originator conducted such data-processing functions while it acted as the Collection Agent.

Section 3.2.   	Duties of Collection Agent.  (a) The Collection Agent shall take, or cause to be taken, all reasonable action necessary or advisable to collect each Receivable in accordance with this Agreement, the Credit and Collection Policy and all applicable laws, rules and regulations using the skill and attention the Collection Agent exercises in collecting other receivables or obligations owed solely to it. If so instructed by the Agent, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Collection Agent Replacement Event, the Collection Agent shall transfer to the Agent the amount of Collections to which the Agent and the Purchaser are entitled by the Business Day following receipt. Each party hereto hereby appoints the Collection Agent to enforce such Person's rights and interests in the Receivables and the Collection Agent may commence or settle any legal action to enforce collection of any Receivable; provided, however, that upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Collection Agent Replacement Event, such action may only be taken after consultation with the Agent.

(b)   If no Termination Event has occurred and is then continuing and the Collection Agent determines that such action is appropriate in order to maximize the Collections, the Collection Agent may, in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy, adjust the outstanding balance or extend the maturity of, any Receivable (but no such extension shall be for a period more than thirty (30) days unless otherwise required by applicable law, rules or regulations; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing Receivables constituting not more than 3% of the Eligible Receivables Balance (excluding from such calculation Eligible Receivables the maturity of which was extended as required by applicable law, rules or regulations) on any given date may be extended for a period in excess of thirty (30) days or the outstanding balance of such Receivables may be adjusted. Any such extension or adjustment shall not alter the status of a Receivable as a Defaulted Receivable or Delinquent Receivable or limit any rights of the Agent or the Purchaser hereunder. If a Collection Agent Replacement Event exists, the Collection Agent may make such extensions or adjustments only with the prior consent of the Agent.

(c)   The Collection Agent shall turn over to the Seller (i) any percentage of Collections in excess of the Purchase Interest, less all reasonable costs and expenses of the Collection Agent for servicing, collecting and administering the Receivables and (ii) subject to Section 1.5(d), the collections and records for any indebtedness owed to the Seller that is not a Receivable. The Collection Agent shall have no obligation to remit any such funds or records to the Seller until the Collection Agent receives evidence (if requested by the Agent and reasonably satisfactory to the Agent) that the Seller is entitled to such items. The Collection Agent has no obligations concerning indebtedness that is not a Receivable other than to deliver the collections and records for such indebtedness to the Seller when required by this Section 3.2(c).

(d)   The Collection Agent shall take all actions necessary to maintain the perfection and priority of the Security Interest of the Agent in the Receivables, Related Security, Collections, the Collection Accounts, and Lock-Boxes.

Section 3.3.   	Reports.  (a) On or before the Monthly Report Date of each month, and at such other times covering such other periods as is requested by the Agent, the Collection Agent shall deliver to the Agent a report reflecting information as of the close of business of the Collection Agent for the immediately preceding calendar month or such other preceding period as is requested (each a "Periodic Report"), containing the information described on Exhibit C (with such modifications or additional information as reasonably requested by the Agent), (b) Within 180 days after the end of each year, the Collection Agent will deliver to Agent an officer's certificate stating that (i) a review of the activities of the Collection Agent and of its performance under his Agreement during the immediately preceding twelve-month period ending on December 31 of the prior year was made under the supervision of the officer signing such certificate and (ii) to the best of such officer's knowledge, based on such reviews, the Collection Agent has fully performed all of its obligations under this Agreement throughout such period, or if there has been a default in the performance of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such officer and the nature and status thereof.

Section 3.4.   	Lock-Box Arrangements.  The Agent is hereby authorized to give notice at any time upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Collection Agent Replacement Event to any or all Collection Banks that the Agent is exercising its rights under the Collection Letters and to take all actions permitted under the Collection Letters. The Seller agrees to take any reasonable action requested by the Agent to facilitate the foregoing. After the Agent takes any such action under the Collection Letters, the Seller shall immediately deliver to the Agent any Collections received by the Seller.

Section 3.5.	   Enforcement Rights.  (a) The Agent may at any time upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Collection Agent Replacement Event direct the Obligors and the Collection Banks to make all payments on the Receivables directly to the Agent or its designee. The Agent may, and the Seller shall at the Agent's request, withhold the identity of the Purchaser from the Obligors and Collection Banks. Upon the Agent's request upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Collection Agent Replacement Event, the Seller (at the Seller's expense) shall (i) give notice to each Obligor of the Agent's ownership of the Purchase Interest and direct that payments on Receivables be made directly to the Agent or its designee, (ii) assemble for the Agent all Records and collateral security for the Receivables and the Related Security and transfer to the Agent (or its designee), or (to the extent permitted by applicable law and contract) license to the Agent (or its designee) the use of, all software necessary to collect the Receivables and (iii) segregate in a manner acceptable to the Agent all Collections the Seller receives and, promptly upon receipt, remit such Collections in the form received, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer, to the Agent or its designee.

(b)   Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Collection Agent Replacement Event, the Seller hereby irrevocably appoints the Agent as its attorney-in-fact coupled with an interest, with full power of substitution and with full authority in the place of the Seller, to take any and all steps deemed desirable by the Agent, in the name and on behalf of the Seller to (i) collect any amounts due under any Receivable, including endorsing the name of the Seller on checks and other instruments representing Collections and enforcing such Receivables and the Related Security, and (ii) exercise any and all of the Seller's rights and remedies under the Purchase Agreement. The Agent's powers under this Section 3.5(b) shall not subject the Agent to any liability if any action taken by it proves to be inadequate or invalid, nor shall such powers confer any obligation whatsoever upon the Agent.

(c)   Neither the Agent nor the Purchaser shall have any obligation to take or consent to any action to realize upon any Receivable or Related Security or to enforce any rights or remedies related thereto.

Section 3.6.   	Collection Agent Fee.  On or before the Monthly Report Date in each calendar month, the Seller shall pay to the Collection Agent a fee for the immediately preceding calendar month as compensation for its services (the "Collection Agent Fee") equal to, subject to applicable law, a reasonable amount agreed upon by the Agent and the Collection Agent on an arm's-length basis reflecting rates and terms prevailing in the market at such time. Such fee currently equals 2.5% per annum (the "Collection Agent Fee Rate") times the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Receivables. The Agent may, with the consent of the Purchaser, pay the Collection Agent Fee to the Collection Agent from the Purchase Interest in Collections. The Seller shall be obligated to reimburse any such payment made by the Agent.

Section 3.7.	   Responsibilities of the Seller.  The Seller shall, or shall cause the Originator to, pay when due all Taxes payable in connection with the Receivables and the Related Security or their creation or satisfaction. The Seller shall, or shall cause the Originator to, perform all of its obligations under agreements related to the Receivables and the Related Security to the same extent as if interests in the Receivables and the Related Security had not been transferred hereunder. The Agent's or the Purchaser's exercise of any rights hereunder shall not relieve the Seller from such obligations. Neither the Agent nor the Purchaser shall have any obligation to perform any obligation of the Seller or any other obligation or liability in connection with the Receivables or the Related Security.

Section 3.8.   	[Reserved].

Section 3.9.	   Indemnities by the Collection Agent.  Without limiting any other rights any Person may have hereunder or under applicable law, the Collection Agent hereby indemnifies and holds harmless the Agent and the Purchaser and their respective officers, directors, agents and employees (each an "Indemnified Party") from and against any and all damages, losses, claims, liabilities, penalties, Taxes, costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees and court costs) (all of the foregoing collectively, the "Indemnified Losses") at any time imposed on or incurred by any Indemnified Party arising out of or otherwise relating to:

(i)   any representation or warranty made by or on behalf of the Collection Agent in this Agreement, any other Transaction Document, any Periodic Report or any other information or report delivered by the Collection Agent pursuant hereto, which shall have been false or incorrect in any material respect when made;

(ii)   the failure by the Collection Agent to comply with any applicable law, rule or regulation related to any Receivable or the Related Security in fulfilling its duties as Collection Agent;

(iii)   any loss of a perfected security interest (or in the priority of such security interest) as a result of any commingling by the Collection Agent of funds to which the Agent or the Purchaser is entitled hereunder with any other funds;

(iv)   any failure of the Collection Agent to perform its duties or obligations in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, compliance with the Credit and Collection Policy) or any other Transaction Document to which the Collection Agent is a party; or

(v)   the imposition of any Lien with respect to any Receivable or Related Security as a result of an action taken by the Collection Agent under any Transaction Document;

whether arising by reason of the acts to be performed by the Collection Agent hereunder or otherwise, excluding only Indemnified Losses to the extent (a) a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction determined that such Indemnified Losses resulted solely from gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Party seeking indemnification, (b) solely due to the credit risk of the Obligor and for which reimbursement would constitute recourse to the Collection Agent for uncollectible Receivables, or (c) such Indemnified Losses include Taxes on, or measured by, the overall net income of the Agent or the Purchaser computed in accordance with the Intended Tax Characterization; provided, however, that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit the liability of the Collection Agent or limit the recourse of the Agent and the Purchaser to the Collection Agent for any amounts otherwise specifically provided to be paid by the Collection Agent hereunder.

Article IV
Representations and Warranties

Section 4.1.   	Representations and Warranties.  The Seller represents and warrants to the Agent and the Purchaser that:

(a)   Corporate Existence and Power. The Seller is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its state of incorporation and has all corporate power and authority and all governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals required to carry on its business in each jurisdiction in which its business is now conducted, except where failure to obtain such license, authorization, consent or approval could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on (i) its ability to perform its obligations under, or the enforceability of, any Transaction Document, (ii) its business or financial condition, (iii) the interests of the Agent or the Purchaser under any Transaction Document or (iv) the enforceability or collectibility of any Receivable.

(b)   Corporate Authorization and No Contravention. The execution, delivery and performance by the Seller of each Transaction Document to which it is a party (i) are within its corporate powers, (ii) have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, (iii) do not contravene or constitute a default under (A) any applicable law, rule or regulation, (B) its charter or by-laws or (C) any agreement, order or other instrument to which it is a party or its property is subject and (iv) will not result in any Adverse Claim on any Receivable, the Related Security or Collection or give cause for the acceleration of any indebtedness of the Seller.

(c)   No Consent Required.Other than the filing of financing statements and the items set forth in the next sentence, no approval, authorization or other action by, or filings with, any Governmental Authority or other Person is required (other than any already given or obtained) in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by it of any Transaction Document to which it is a party or any transaction contemplated thereby. The Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby are subject to filing requirements or reporting requirements, or both, under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended, Chapters 386 and 393 of the Missouri revised statutes, as amended, and Chapter 66 of the Kansas statutes, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

(d)   Binding Effect.Each Transaction Document to which the Seller is a party constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Seller enforceable against the Seller in accordance with its terms, except as limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, or other similar laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and subject to general principles of equity.

(e)   Perfection of Ownership Interest. Immediately preceding its sale of Receivables to the Seller, the Originator was the owner of, and effectively sold, such Receivables to the Seller, free and clear of any Adverse Claim. The Seller owns the Receivables free of any Adverse Claim other than the interests of the Purchaser (through the Agent) therein that are created hereby, and the Purchaser shall at all times have a valid and continuing undivided percentage ownership interest, which shall be a first priority perfected security interest for purposes of Article 9 of the applicable Uniform Commercial Code enforceable as such against creditors of and purchasers from the Seller, in the Receivables and Collections to the extent of the Purchase Interest then in effect. Other than the ownership or security interest granted to the Agent pursuant to this Agreement, the Seller has not pledged, assigned, sold or granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed, the Receivables or the Collections. The Seller has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements against the Seller that include a description of collateral covering the Receivables or the Collections other than any financing statement relating to the security interest granted to the Agent hereunder. The Seller has caused or will have caused, within ten days after the date hereof, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under the applicable law in order to perfect the conveyance of Receivables by Seller hereunder.

(f)   Accuracy of Information. All written information furnished by the Seller to the Agent or the Purchaser in connection with any Transaction Document, or any transaction contemplated thereby, is true and accurate in all material respects as of the date it was dated (and is not incomplete by omitting to state a material fact necessary to make such information not materially misleading in light of the circumstances when made).

(g)   No Actions, Suits. Except as disclosed by the Originator in its most recent filings with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, there are no actions, suits or other proceedings (including matters relating to environmental liability) pending or threatened against or affecting the Seller, or any of its respective properties, that (i) is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Seller or on the collectibility of the Receivables or (ii) seeks to challenge the validity of any Transaction Document or any transaction contemplated thereby. The Seller is not in default of any contractual obligation or in violation of any order, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority, which default or violation could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect upon (i) the financial condition of the Seller or (ii) the collectibility of the Receivables.

(h)   No Material Adverse Change.Except as disclosed by the Originator in its most recent filing with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, there has been no material adverse change since December 31, 2004 in the collectibility of the Receivables or the Seller's (i) financial condition, business or operations or (ii) ability to perform its obligations under any Transaction Document.

(i)   Accuracy of Exhibits; Lock-Box Arrangements.All information on Exhibits D-F (listing offices and names of the Seller and the Originator and where they maintain Records; the Significant Subsidiaries, Lock Boxes and the Collection Banks) is true and complete, subject to any changes permitted by, and notified to the Agent in accordance with, Article V. The Seller has delivered a copy of all Lock-Box Agreements and Collection Letters to the Agent. The Seller has not granted any interest in any Lock-Box, and Collection Account or any bank account in which Collections are or will be deposited to any Person other than the Agent and, upon delivery to a Collection Bank of a letter in the form of Annex A to the Collection Letter, the Collection Banks shall apply Collections received in the Lock Boxes at the direction of the Agent.

(j)   Sales by the Originator. Each sale by the Originator to the Seller of an interest in Receivables and their Collections has been made in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, including the payment by the Seller to the Originator of the purchase price described in the Purchase Agreement. Each such sale has been made for "reasonably equivalent value" (as such term is used in Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code) and not for or on account of "antecedent debt" (as such term is used in Section 547 of the Bankruptcy Code) owed by the Originator to the Seller.

(k)   Eligible Receivables.Each Receivable comprising part of the Eligible Receivables Balance as of the date of any calculation of the Purchase Interest as part of the Eligible Receivables Balance was an Eligible Receivable as of the date of such calculation.

(l)   Use of Proceeds. No proceeds of any Purchase will be used (i) for the purpose which violates, or would be inconsistent with, Regulation T, U or X promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System from time to time or (ii) to acquire any security in any transaction which is subject to Section 13(d) or 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Section 6.4.   	Withholding Taxes.  All payments made by the Seller to any Affected Party shall be made without withholding for or on account of any present or future taxes (other than overall net income taxes on the recipient). If any such withholding is so required, the Seller shall make the withholding, pay the amount withheld to the appropriate authority before penalties attach thereto or interest accrues thereon and pay such additional amount as may be necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received free and clear of such taxes (including such taxes on such additional amount) is equal to the amount that would have been received had such withholding not been made.

Section 8.2.   	Delegation of Duties.  The Agent may execute any of its duties through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties.

Section 8.3.	   Exculpatory Provisions.

The Agent shall not be responsible to the Purchaser or other Person for (i) any recitals, representations, warranties or other statements made by the Seller or the Originator or any of their Affiliates, (ii) the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of any Transaction Document, (iii) any failure of the Seller or the Originator or any of their Affiliates to perform any obligation or (iv) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article VII.

Section 8.5.	   Assumed Payments.  Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the Purchaser before the date of any Incremental Purchase that the Purchaser will not make available to the Agent the amount it is scheduled to remit as part of such Incremental Purchase, the Agent may assume the Purchaser has made such amount available to the Agent when due (an "Assumed Payment") and, in reliance upon such assumption, the Agent may (but shall have no obligation to) make available such amount to the appropriate Person. If and to the extent that the Purchaser shall not have made its Assumed Payment available to the Agent, the Purchaser and the Seller hereby agrees to pay the Agent forthwith on demand such unpaid portion of such Assumed Payment up to the amount of funds actually paid by the Agent, together with interest thereon for each day from the date of such payment by the Agent until the date the requisite amount is repaid to the Agent, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate.

Section 8.7.   	Non-Reliance on Agent.

Section 9.7.	   Waivers.  No failure or delay of the Agent or the Purchaser in exercising any power, right, privilege or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right, privilege or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power, right, privilege or remedy. Any waiver hereof shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which such waiver was given. After any waiver, the Seller, the Purchaser and the Agent shall be restored to their former position and rights and any Potential Termination Event waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing, but no such waiver shall extend to (or impair any right consequent upon) any subsequent or other Potential Termination Event. Any additional Discount that has accrued after a Termination Event before the execution of a waiver thereof, solely as a result of the occurrence of such Termination Event, may be waived by the Agent at the direction of the Purchaser entitled thereto.

The Purchaser shall not agree with a Participant to restrict the Purchaser's right to agree to any amendment hereto.

(d)   Assignments by Purchaser. The Purchaser may assign to a Person any portion of (i) its commitment to make a Purchase or (ii) its Purchase Interest pursuant to a supplement hereto. Prior to the occurrence of a Potential Termination Event or a Termination Event, any such assignment of a commitment shall require the prior written consent of the Seller (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) unless the assignee (i) is an entity whose principal business is the purchase of assets similar to the Receivables, (ii) has BTMNY as its administrative agent and (iii) issues commercial paper. Upon such an assignment of any portion of the Purchase Interest, the assignee shall have all of the rights of the Purchaser hereunder related to such portion of the Purchase Interest.

Section 9.9.   	Intended Tax Characterization.  It is the intention of the parties hereto that, for the purposes of all Taxes, the transactions contemplated hereby shall be treated as a loan by the Purchaser (through the Agent) to the Seller that is secured by the Receivables (the "Intended Tax Characterization").

No recourse under any obligation, covenant or agreement or agreement of any party contained in this Agreement shall be had against any stockholder, employee, officer, director, incorporator or organizer of such party, provided, however, that nothing in this Section 9.13 shall relieve any of the foregoing Persons from any liability which such Person may otherwise have for its gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Section 9.14.   	Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, BTMNY and Affiliates.  Deutsched Bank Trust Company Americas, BTMNY and any of their respective Affiliates may generally engage in any kind of business with the Seller, the Collection Agent or any Obligor, any of their respective Affiliates and any Person who may do business with or own securities of the Seller, Originator or any Obligor or any of their respective Affiliates, all as if Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas were not the Program Administrator and BTMNY were not the Agent, respectively, and without any duty to account therefor to the Purchaser or any other holder of an interest in the Receivables.
