Agent and such Issuing Bank, an amount in cash equal to the aggregate amount of all of its outstanding Letters of Credit with an expiration date later than the Availability Termination Date for the applicable Borrower or the fifth Business Day prior

Section 2.25) of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the applicable Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the
applicable Borrower for any reason. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any
circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any
offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. 
 (e) Reimbursement. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in
respect of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date that such LC Disbursement is made,

herein, request in accordance with Section 2.1 that such payment be financed with a Floating Rate Advance in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, such Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and
replaced by the resulting Floating Rate Advance. If such Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from such Borrower in respect thereof and such
Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the Agent its Pro Rata Share of the payment then due from such Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.11 with respect to
Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.11 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Agent shall promptly pay to such Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. Promptly
following receipt by the Agent of any payment from such Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Agent shall distribute such payment to such Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such
Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of a Floating Rate Advance
as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve such Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement. 
 (f) Obligations Absolute. Each Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be several, shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed
strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement

applicable law) suffered by such Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s wrongful honor or rejection of any such Letter of Credit to the extent arising out of the Issuing Banks’ gross negligence or willful misconduct (as finally
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction). In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, but subject to any non-waivable provisions of the laws and/or other rules to which a Letter of Credit is subject, the
parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, an Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents
without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of
Credit. 
 (g) Disbursement Procedures. The applicable Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all
documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. Such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Agent and the applicable Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing
Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve such Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any
such LC Disbursement. 
 (h) Interim Interest. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the applicable Borrower
shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that such Borrower
reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to Floating Rate Advances; provided that, if such Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then
Section 2.14 shall apply. Interest accrued 

  

 27 








 
pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of such Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender
pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment. 
 (i) Cash Collateralization. If any Default with respect to a Borrower shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that such Borrower receives notice from the Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the
maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Lenders with LC Exposures representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, such Borrower shall deposit in an account with the
Agent, in the name of the Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the portion of the LC Exposure as of such date attributable to Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower; provided that the
obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Default with respect to such Borrower
described in Sections 7.6 or 7.7. Such deposit shall be held by the Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Obligations of such Borrower under this Agreement. The Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the
exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made only if and to the extent requested by such Borrower and then only at the option and sole discretion
of the Agent, and all at such Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Agent to
reimburse each Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements under Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of future reimbursement
obligations under Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders with LC Exposures representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure), be
applied to satisfy other Obligations of such Borrower under this Agreement. If any Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of a Default with respect to such Borrower, such amount (to the
extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to such Borrower within three Business Days after all Defaults with respect to such Borrower have been cured or waived. If at any time the cash collateral of any Borrower shall exceed such portion
of the LC Exposure as of such date attributable to Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower, the Agent shall apply such excess funds to the payment of such Borrower’s Obligations or (i) if no such Obligations are then due
and owing and no Default with respect to such Borrower shall exist, shall release such excess funds to such Borrower or (ii) if no such Obligations are outstanding (other than contingent Obligations in respect of Letters of Credit which are
fully collateralized), such excess amount shall be released to such Borrower notwithstanding the existence of a Default in respect of such Borrower. 
 (j) Designation of Additional Issuing Banks. From time to time, the Borrowers may by notice to the Agent and the Lenders designate as additional Issuing Banks one or more Lenders that agree to serve in such
capacity as provided below. The acceptance by a Lender of any appointment as an Issuing Bank hereunder shall be evidenced by an agreement (an “Issuing Bank Agreement”), which shall be in a form satisfactory to the Borrowers and the Agent,
shall 

  

 28 








 
set forth the LC Commitment of such Lender and shall be executed by such Lender, the Borrowers and the Agent and, from and after the effective date of such
agreement, (i) such Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) references herein and in the other Loan Documents to the term “Issuing Bank” shall
be deemed to include such Lender in its capacity as an Issuing Bank. 
 2.7. Types of Advances. Revolving Advances may be Floating
Rate Advances or Eurodollar Advances, or a combination thereof, selected by the applicable Borrower in accordance with Sections 2.11 and 2.12. 
 2.8. Facility Fee; Letter of Credit Fees; Reductions in Aggregate Commitment and Borrower Sublimits. 
 2.8.1
Facility Fee. Each of the Borrowers agrees, severally and not jointly, to pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender a facility fee (the “Facility Fee”) at a per annum rate equal to, in the case of each Illinois Utility and
Borrower, the Applicable Fee Rate for it on its Contribution Percentage of such Lender’s Commitment (whether used or unused) from and including the Closing Date to and including the first date following the Closing Date (or, in the case of each
Illinois Utility, its Accession Date) on which both such Borrower’s Borrower Credit Exposure shall be zero and the Borrower Sublimit of such Borrower shall be reduced to zero pursuant to Section 2.8.3, payable quarterly in arrears on each
Payment Date hereafter and on the Facility Termination Date, provided that, if any Lender continues to have Revolving Credit Exposure outstanding hereunder after the termination of its Commitment (including, without limitation, during any
period when Loans or Letters of Credit may be outstanding but new Loans or Letters of Credit may not be borrowed or issued hereunder), then the Facility Fee shall continue to accrue on the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Exposure
of such Lender until such Lender ceases to have any Revolving Credit Exposure and shall be payable on demand. 
 2.8.2
Letter of Credit Fees. Each Borrower agrees, severally and not jointly with the other Borrowers, to pay (i) to the Agent for the account of each Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit issued
for the account of such Borrower (the “LC Participation Fee”), which shall accrue at the Applicable Fee Rate on the average daily amount of that portion of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to
unreimbursed LC Disbursements) attributable to Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower during the period from and including the Closing Date (or, in the case of each Illinois Utility, its Accession Date) to but excluding the later
of the date on which such Lender’s Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any such LC Exposure, and (ii) to each Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate or rates per annum separately
agreed upon between such Borrower and such Issuing Bank on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank for the 

  

 29 








 
account of such Borrower (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Closing Date
(or, in the case of each Illinois Utility, its Accession Date) to but excluding the later of the date of termination of such Issuing Bank’s LC Commitment and the date on which there ceases to be any such LC Exposure attributable to Letters of
Credit issued by such Issuing Bank for such Borrower, as well as each Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank for the account of such
Borrower or processing of drawings thereunder. LC Participation Fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the third Business Day following such last day,
commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date; provided that all such fees accrued for the account of any Borrower shall be payable on the Availability Termination Date for such Borrower and any such fees accruing after
the Availability Termination Date for such Borrower shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to an Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable promptly upon receipt of an invoice therefor. 
 2.8.3 Termination of and Reductions in Aggregate Commitment and Borrower Sublimits. The Aggregate Commitment and the Commitment of
each Lender will automatically terminate on the Commitment Termination Date. The Company (on behalf of itself and all the other Borrowers) may permanently reduce the Aggregate Commitment (with or without reducing any Borrower Sublimit) and each
Borrower, or the Company on such other Borrower’s behalf, may permanently reduce its respective Borrower Sublimit (with or without reducing the Aggregate Commitment), in each case, in whole or in part and without penalty or premium, ratably
among the Lenders in integral multiples of $5,000,000, upon at least three (3) Business Days’ written notice to the Agent, which notice shall specify, as applicable (a) the aggregate amount of any such reduction and/or (b) the
individual amount by which the applicable Borrower Sublimits shall be reduced, provided, however, that (i) the amount of the Aggregate Commitment may not be reduced below the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure and
(ii) the Borrower Sublimit of any Borrower may not be reduced below the Borrower Credit Exposure of such Borrower. 
 2.9. Minimum
Amount of Each Advance. Each Eurodollar Advance shall be in the minimum amount of $5,000,000 (and in multiples of $1,000,000 if in excess thereof), and each Floating Rate Advance shall be in the minimum amount of $5,000,000 (and in multiples of
$1,000,000 if in excess thereof), provided, however, that (i) any Floating Rate Advance may be in the amount of the Available Aggregate Commitment and (ii) any Floating Rate Advance to a Borrower may be in the amount equal to
the lesser of the Available Aggregate Commitment and the amount by which the Borrower Sublimit of such Borrower exceeds the Borrower Credit Exposure of such Borrower. 
  

 30 








 2.10. Optional Principal Payments. Each Borrower may from time to time pay, without penalty or
premium, all outstanding Floating Rate Advances of such Borrower, or any portion of such outstanding Floating Rate Advances, in a minimum aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the
remaining outstanding principal amount of such Borrower’s Floating Rate Advances), upon at least one (1) Business Day’s prior notice to the Agent. Each Borrower may from time to time pay, subject to the payment of any funding
indemnification amounts required by Section 3.4 but without penalty or premium, all outstanding Eurodollar Advances of such Borrower, or any portion of such outstanding Eurodollar Advances, in a minimum aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or any
integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the remaining outstanding principal amount of such Borrower’s Eurodollar Advances) upon three (3) Business Days’ prior notice to the Agent. 
 2.11. Method of Selecting Types and Interest Periods for New Revolving Advances. The applicable Borrower shall select the Type of each Revolving
Advance and, in the case of each Eurodollar Advance, the Interest Period applicable thereto; provided that there shall be no more than (a) five (5) Interest Periods in effect with respect to all of the Revolving Loans of any single
Borrower at any time or (b) fifteen (15) Interest Periods in effect with respect to all of the Revolving Loans of all the Borrowers at any time, unless such limit has been waived by the Agent in its sole discretion. The applicable Borrower
shall give the Agent irrevocable notice (a “Borrowing Notice”) not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Borrowing Date of each Floating Rate Advance and three Business Days before the Borrowing Date for each Eurodollar Advance,
specifying: 
  

	 	(i)	the Borrower requesting such Borrowing, 

  

	 	(ii)	the Borrowing Date, which shall be a Business Day, of such Advance, 

  

	 	(iii)	the aggregate amount of such Advance, 

  

	 	(iv)	the Type of Advance selected, and 

  

	 	(v)	in the case of each Eurodollar Advance, the Interest Period applicable thereto. 

 The Agent shall provide written notice of each request for borrowing under this Section 2.11 by 11:00 a.m. (New York time) (or, if later, within one hour after receipt of the applicable Borrowing Notice from such Borrower) on each
Borrowing Date for each Floating Rate Advance or on the third Business Day prior to each Borrowing Date for each Eurodollar Advance, as applicable. Not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on each Borrowing Date, each Lender shall make available its
Revolving Loan or Revolving Loans in Federal or other funds immediately available in New York to the Agent at its address specified pursuant to Article XIII. The Agent will promptly make the funds so received from the Lenders available to such
Borrower at the Agent’s aforesaid address. 
 2.12. Conversion and Continuation of Outstanding Revolving Advances; No Conversion or
Continuation of Eurodollar Advances After Default. Floating Rate Advances shall continue as Floating Rate Advances unless and until such Floating Rate Advances are converted into Eurodollar Advances pursuant to this Section 2.12 or are
repaid in accordance with Section 2.10. Each Eurodollar Advance shall continue as a Eurodollar Advance until the 

  

 31 








 
end of the then applicable Interest Period therefor, at which time such Eurodollar Advance shall be automatically converted into a Floating Rate Advance
unless (x) such Eurodollar Advance is or was repaid in accordance with Section 2.10 or (y) the applicable Borrower shall have given the Agent a Conversion/Continuation Notice (as defined below) requesting that, at the end of such
Interest Period, such Eurodollar Advance continue as a Eurodollar Advance for the same or another Interest Period. Subject to the terms of Section 2.9, a Borrower may elect from time to time to convert all or any part of a Revolving Advance of
any Type into any other Type or Types of Advances; provided that any conversion of any Eurodollar Advance shall be made on, and only on, the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Section 2.12, during the continuance of a Default or an Unmatured Default with respect to a Borrower, the Agent may (or shall at the direction of the Required Lenders), by notice to such Borrower, declare that no Revolving
Advance of such Borrower may be made, converted or continued as a Eurodollar Advance. The applicable Borrower shall give the Agent irrevocable notice (a “Conversion/Continuation Notice”) of (x) the continuation of a Floating Rate
Advance to another Floating Rate Advance, not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) one (1) Business Day prior to the date of such requested conversion or continuation and/or (y) each conversion of a Floating Rate Advance to a Eurodollar
Advance or continuation of a Eurodollar Advance, not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of the requested conversion or continuation, specifying: 
  

	 	(i)	the requested date, which shall be a Business Day, of such conversion or continuation, 

  


	 	(ii)	the aggregate amount and Type of the Advance to be converted or continued, and 

  

	 	(iii)	the amount of the Advance to be converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Advance and the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto. 

 2.13. Interest Rates, etc. Each Floating Rate Advance shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and
including the date such Advance is made or is automatically converted from a Eurodollar Advance into a Floating Rate Advance pursuant to Section 2.12, to but excluding the date it is paid or is converted into a Eurodollar Advance pursuant to
Section 2.12, at a rate per annum equal to the Floating Rate applicable to such Borrower for such day. Changes in the rate of interest on that portion of any Advance maintained as a Floating Rate Advance will take effect simultaneously with
each change in the Alternate Base Rate. Each Eurodollar Advance shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from and including the first day of each Interest Period applicable thereto to (but not including) the earlier of the
last day of such Interest Period or the date it is paid in accordance with Section 2.10 at the applicable Eurodollar Rate as determined by the Agent as applicable to such Borrower’s Eurodollar Advance based upon the applicable
Borrower’s selections under Sections 2.11 and 2.12 and otherwise in accordance with the terms hereof. 
 2.14. Rates Applicable After
Default. After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default with respect to any Borrower, the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to such Borrower (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders
notwithstanding any provision of Section 8.2 requiring unanimous consent of the Lenders to changes in interest rates), declare that (i) each Eurodollar Advance shall bear interest for the 

  

 32 








 
remainder of the applicable Interest Period at the rate otherwise applicable during such Interest Period plus 2% per annum and (ii) each Floating
Rate Advance shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Floating Rate in effect from time to time plus 2% per annum, provided that, during the continuance of a Default with respect to any Borrower under Section 7.6 or 7.7,
the interest rates set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above shall be applicable to all Advances, fees and other Obligations of such Borrower hereunder without any election or action on the part of the Agent or any Lender. 
 2.15. Funding of Loans; Method of Payment. All payments of the Obligations hereunder shall be made, without setoff, deduction or counterclaim, in
immediately available funds to the Agent at the Agent’s address specified pursuant to Article XIII, or at any other Lending Installation of the Agent specified in writing by the Agent, by 12:00 noon (New York time) on the date when due and
shall be applied ratably by the Agent among the Lenders to which such Obligations are owing. Each payment delivered to the Agent for the account of any Lender shall be delivered promptly by the Agent to such Lender in the same type of funds that the
Agent received at its address specified pursuant to Article XIII or at any Lending Installation specified in a notice received by the Agent from such Lender. The Agent is hereby authorized to charge the account of any Borrower maintained with JPMCB
for each payment of principal, interest and fees owed by such Borrower as it becomes due hereunder. 
 2.16. Noteless Agreement; Evidence
of Indebtedness. 
  

	 	(i)	Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of each Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by
such Lender to such Borrower from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. 

  

	 	(ii)	The Agent shall also maintain accounts in which it will record (a) the date and the amount of each Loan made to each Borrower hereunder, the Type thereof and the Interest
Period (in the case of a Eurodollar Advance) with respect thereto, (b) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to each Lender hereunder, (c) the effective date and amount of
each Assignment Agreement delivered to and accepted by it pursuant to Section 12.3 and the parties thereto, (d) the amount of any sum received by the Agent hereunder from each Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof, and (e) all
other appropriate debits and credits as provided in this Agreement, including, without limitation, all fees, charges, expenses and interest. 

  

	 	(iii)	The entries maintained in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (i) and (ii) above shall be prima facie evidence absent manifest error of the
existence and amounts of the Obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of the Agent or any Lender to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of such Borrower to
repay the Obligations in accordance with their terms. 

  

 33 









	 	(iv)	Any Lender may request that its Loans be evidenced by a promissory note in substantially the form of Exhibit E (a “Note”). In such event, the applicable Borrower shall
prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender such Note payable to the order of such Lender. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such Note and interest thereon shall at all times (prior to any assignment pursuant to Section 12.3) be represented by
one or more Notes payable to the order of the payee named therein, except to the extent that any such Lender subsequently returns any such Note for cancellation and requests that such Loans once again be evidenced as described in paragraphs
(i) and (ii) above. 

 2.17. Telephonic Notices. Each Borrower hereby authorizes the Lenders and the Agent to
extend, convert or continue Advances, effect selections of Types of Advances and to transfer funds based on telephonic notices made by any person or persons the Agent or any Lender in good faith believes to be acting on behalf of such Borrower, it
being understood that the foregoing authorization is specifically intended to allow Borrowing Notices and Conversion/Continuation Notices to be given telephonically. Each Borrower agrees to deliver promptly to the Agent a written confirmation,
signed by an Authorized Officer, if such confirmation is requested by the Agent or any Lender, of each telephonic notice. If the written confirmation differs in any material respect from the action taken by the Agent and the Lenders, the records of
the Agent and the Lenders shall govern absent manifest error. 
 2.18. Interest Payment Dates; Interest and Fee Basis. Interest
accrued on each Floating Rate Advance shall be payable in arrears on each Payment Date, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, on any date on which such Floating Rate Advance is prepaid, whether due to acceleration or
otherwise, and at maturity. Interest accrued on that portion of the outstanding principal amount of any Floating Rate Advance converted into a Eurodollar Advance on a day other than a Payment Date shall be payable on the date of conversion. Interest
accrued on each Eurodollar Advance shall be payable on the last day of each applicable Interest Period, on any date on which the Eurodollar Advance is prepaid, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and at maturity. Interest accrued on each
Eurodollar Advance having an Interest Period longer than three months shall also be payable on the last day of each three-month interval during such Interest Period. Interest accrued on any Advance that is not paid when due shall be payable on
demand and on the date of payment in full. Interest on Eurodollar Advances and fees hereunder shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year. Interest on Floating Rate Advances shall be calculated for actual days elapsed
on the basis of a 365/366-day year. Interest shall be payable for the day an Advance is made but not for the day of any payment on the amount paid if payment is received prior to 12:00 noon (New York time) at the place of payment. If any payment of
principal of or interest on an Advance, any fees or any other amounts payable to the Agent or any Lender hereunder shall become due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case
of principal payment, such extension of time shall be included in computing interest, fees and commissions in connection with such payment. 
 2.19. Notification of Advances, Interest Rates, Prepayments and Commitment Reductions; Availability of Loans. Promptly after receipt thereof, the Agent will notify each Lender in writing of the contents of each Aggregate Commitment
or Borrower Sublimit reduction notice, Borrowing Notice, Conversion/Continuation Notice, and repayment notice 

  

 34 








 
received by it hereunder. The Agent will notify the applicable Borrower and each Lender of the interest rate applicable to each Eurodollar Advance promptly
upon determination of such interest rate and will give each Borrower and each Lender prompt notice of each change in the Alternate Base Rate. 
 2.20. Lending Installations. Each Lender may book its Loans at any Lending Installation selected by such Lender and may change its Lending Installation from time to time. All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Lending
Installation and the Loans and any Notes issued hereunder shall be deemed held by each Lender for the benefit of any such Lending Installation. Each Lender may, by written notice to the Agent and the Borrowers in accordance with Article XIII,
designate replacement or additional Lending Installations through which Loans will be made by it and for whose account Loan payments are to be made. 
 2.21. Non-Receipt of Funds by the Agent. Unless the applicable Borrower or a Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Agent prior to the date (or, in the case of a Lender with respect to a Floating Rate Advance
under Section 2.11, prior to the time) on which it is scheduled to make payment to the Agent of (i) in the case of a Lender, the proceeds of a Loan or any payment under Section 2.6(e) or (ii) in the case of a Borrower, a payment
of principal, interest or fees to the Agent for the account of the Lenders, that it does not intend to make such payment, the Agent may assume that such payment has been made. The Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the amount of such
payment available to the intended recipient in reliance upon such assumption. If such Lender or such Borrower, as the case may be, has not in fact made such payment to the Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on demand by the Agent, repay to
the Agent the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Agent until the date the Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum
equal to (x) in the case of payment by a Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate for such day for the first three days and, thereafter, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan or (y) in the case of payment by a Borrower, the
interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan. 
 2.22. Replacement of Lender. If (x) any Borrower is required pursuant to
Section 3.1, 3.2 or 3.5 to make any additional payment to any Lender, (y) any Lender’s obligation to make or continue, or to convert Floating Rate Advances into, Eurodollar Advances shall be suspended pursuant to Section 3.3, or
(z) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Borrowers may elect, if (in the case of clause (x) or (y) above) such amounts continue to be charged or such suspension is still effective, to terminate or replace the Commitment of such
Affected Lender (as defined below), or if (I) any Lender invokes Section 9.2 or (II) any Lender has advised that it will not consent to any waiver or amendment of this Agreement that requires the approval of all the Lenders and upon the
replacement of any such non-consenting Lender such approval shall be obtained (any Lender subject to any of the foregoing being an “Affected Lender”), the Borrowers may elect to replace the Commitment of such Affected Lender;
provided in each of the foregoing cases that no Default or Unmatured Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such termination or replacement, and provided further that, concurrently with such termination or
replacement, (i) if the Affected Lender is being replaced, another bank or other entity which is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrowers and the Agent shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash at face amount the Revolving Credit
Exposure of the Affected Lender pursuant to an Assignment Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit C and to become a Lender for all 

  

 35 








 
purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Affected Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of
Section 12.3 applicable to assignments, and (ii) each Borrower shall pay to such Affected Lender in immediately available funds on the day of such replacement (A) all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such
Affected Lender by such Borrower hereunder to and including the date of termination, including without limitation payments due to such Affected Lender under Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.5, and (B) an amount, if any, equal to the payment which
would have been due to such Lender on the day of such replacement under Section 3.4 had the Loans of such Affected Lender been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the replacement Lender, in each case to the extent not paid by the
purchasing lender and (iii) if the Affected Lender is being terminated, each Borrower shall pay to such Affected Lender all Obligations due from such Borrower to such Affected Lender (including the amounts described in the immediately preceding
clauses (i) and (ii) plus the outstanding principal balance of such Affected Lender’s Advances and the amount of such Lender’s funded participations in unreimbursed LC Disbursements). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers
may not terminate the Commitment of an Affected Lender if, after giving effect to such termination, (x) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed the Aggregate Commitment, or (y) the Borrower Credit Exposure of any Borrower
would exceed the Borrower Sublimit of such Borrower. 
 2.23. [omitted]. 
 2.24. Commitment Increases. (a) The Borrowers may from time to time (and more than one time), by written notice to the Agent (which shall
promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders), executed by the Borrowers and one or more financial institutions (any such financial institution referred to in this Section being called an “Augmenting Lender”), which may include any
Lender, cause new Commitments to be extended by the Augmenting Lenders or cause the existing Commitments of the Augmenting Lenders to be increased, as the case may be (the aggregate amount of such increase for all Augmenting Lenders on any single
occasion being referred to as a “Commitment Increase”), in an amount for each Augmenting Lender set forth in such notice; provided that (i) the amount of each Commitment Increase shall be not less than $15,000,000, except to
the extent necessary to utilize the remaining unused amount of increase permitted under this Section 2.24(a), and (ii) the Aggregate Commitment shall not exceed $800,000,000 after giving effect to the effectiveness of each Commitment
Increase. Each Augmenting Lender (if not then a Lender) shall be subject to the approval of the Agent and each Issuing Bank (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) and shall not be subject to the approval of any other Lenders, and the
Company and each Augmenting Lender shall execute all such documentation as the Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Commitment of such Augmenting Lender and/or its status as a Lender hereunder (such documentation in respect of any
Commitment Increase together with the notice of such Commitment Increase being referred to collectively as the “Commitment Increase Amendment” in respect of such Commitment Increase). 
 (b) Upon each Commitment Increase pursuant to this Section, (i) each Lender immediately prior to such increase will automatically and without
further act be deemed to have assigned to each Augmenting Lender providing a portion of such Commitment Increase, and each such Augmenting Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed, a portion of such Lender’s
participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit 

  

 36 








 
such that, after giving effect to such Commitment Increase and each such deemed assignment and assumption of participations, the percentage of the aggregate
outstanding participations hereunder in Letters of Credit held by each Lender (including each such Augmenting Lender) will (subject to Section 2.25) equal such Lender’s Pro Rata Share and (ii) if, on the date of such Commitment
Increase, there are any Revolving Loans outstanding, such Revolving Loans shall on or prior to the effectiveness of such Commitment Increase be prepaid from the proceeds of new Revolving Loans made hereunder (reflecting such Commitment Increase),
which prepayment shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the Revolving Loans being prepaid and any costs incurred by any Lender in accordance with Section 3.4. The Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing, pro rata
borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. 
 (c) Commitment Increases and new Commitments created pursuant to this Section 2.24 shall become effective on the date specified in the notice
delivered by the Company pursuant to the first sentence of paragraph (a) above or on such other date as agreed upon by the Company, the Agent and the applicable Augmenting Lenders. 
 (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no increase in the Commitments (or in any Commitment of any Lender) or addition of an Augmenting Lender shall become
effective under this Section unless on the date of such increase, the conditions set forth in Section 4.4.1 and 4.4.2 (it being understood that all references to “Credit Extension Date” therein shall be deemed to refer to the date of
such Commitment Increase) shall be satisfied as of such date (as though the effectiveness of such increase were a Credit Extension) and the Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by an Authorized Officer
of the Company. 
 2.25. Defaulting Lenders. 
 (a) Notwithstanding Section 11.2 or any provision of this Agreement referring to Pro Rata Shares or ratable allocations or any other provision of this Agreement whatsoever to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a
Defaulting Lender hereunder, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Defaulting Lender is a Defaulting Lender: 
  

	 	(i)	Facility Fees shall cease to accrue on the unused portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment; 

  

	 	(ii)	The Commitment and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any
action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 8.2), provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender (A) which affects such
Defaulting Lender differently than other affected Lenders or (B) which provides for the termination of the interest of the Agent in all or any portion of the CILCO Credit Agreement Bond, the CIPS Credit Agreement Bond or the IP Credit Agreement
Bond, in each case unless both the Borrower Sublimit and the Borrower Credit Exposure of the applicable Borrower have been reduced to zero, an extension of the Commitment Termination Date, an increase in the Commitment of such Lender, a reduction in
the principal amount of such Lender’s Loan or LC Disbursement or in the amount of interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender; 

  

 37 









	 	(iii)	All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Share of the Aggregate
Commitment, but only to the extent (x) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposure plus such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments and
(y) the conditions set forth in Section 4.4 are satisfied at such time. 

  

	 	(iv)	If the LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender is reallocated pursuant to subparagraph (iii) above, then the LC Participation Fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to
Section 2.8.2 shall be adjusted in accordance with such reallocation. 

  

	 	(v)	If any part of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is not reallocated pursuant to clause (iii) above, then, (A) without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any
Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder, all LC Participation Fees payable under Section 2.8.2 with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s non-reallocated LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Bank until such non-reallocated LC Exposure is
reallocated and (B) each Borrower shall, within one Business Day following notice by the Agent, cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s unallocated LC Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.6(h) for so
long as such LC Exposure is outstanding. 

  

	 	(vi)	The Agent shall adjust the allocation of payments hereunder to ensure that a Defaulting Lender does not receive payment in respect of any Loan or LC Disbursement that it did not
fund or to reflect any of the actions or adjustments referred to in this paragraph (a). 

 (b) In the event that each of the
Agent, the Company and the Issuing Banks agree that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the LC Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such
Lender’s Commitment (or, if such Commitment has been terminated, as last in effect) and on such date such Lender shall purchase, at par, such of the Revolving Loans of the other Lenders as the Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for
such Lender to hold such Revolving Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Share and any cash collateralization provided by any Borrower pursuant to subsection (a)(v) immediately above shall be immediately returned to such Borrower. 

ARTICLE III 
 YIELD PROTECTION;
TAXES 
 3.1. Yield Protection. If, on or after the Closing Date, the adoption of any law or any governmental or
quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law), or any change in any such law, rule, regulation, policy, guideline or 

  

 38 








 
directive or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged
with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender or applicable Lending Installation with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency:

 3.1.1 subjects any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation to any Taxes, or changes the basis of taxation of payments
(other than with respect to Excluded Taxes) to any Lender in respect of its Eurodollar Loans, or 
 3.1.2 imposes or increases
or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation (other than
reserves and assessments taken into account in determining the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Advances), or 
 3.1.3
imposes any other condition the result of which is to increase the cost to any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation of making, funding or maintaining its Commitment or Eurodollar Loans or reduces any amount receivable by any Lender or any
applicable Lending Installation in connection with its Commitment or Eurodollar Loans or requires any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation to make any payment calculated by reference to the amount of Commitment or Eurodollar Loans held or
interest received by it, by an amount deemed material by such Lender, 
 and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or
applicable Lending Installation of making or maintaining its Commitment or Eurodollar Loans or to reduce the return received by such Lender or applicable Lending Installation in connection with such Commitment or Eurodollar Loans, then, within 15
days of demand, accompanied by the written statement required by Section 3.6, by such Lender, the Borrowers shall pay such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction in amount
received. 
 3.2. Changes in Capital Adequacy Regulations. If a Lender determines the amount of capital required or expected to be
maintained by such Lender, any Lending Installation of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender is increased as a result of a Change, then, within 15 days of demand, accompanied by the written statement required by Section 3.6, by
such Lender, the Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount necessary to compensate for any shortfall in the rate of return on the portion of such increased capital which such Lender determines is attributable to this Agreement, its Revolving Credit
Exposure or its Commitment hereunder (after taking into account such Lender’s policies as to capital adequacy). “Change” means (i) any change after the Closing Date in the Risk-Based Capital Guidelines or (ii) any adoption
of, or change in, or change in the interpretation or administration of any other law, governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline, interpretation, or directive (whether or not having the force of law) after the Closing
Date which affects the 

  

 39 








 
amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by any Lender or any Lending Installation or any corporation controlling any Lender. “Risk-Based
Capital Guidelines” means (i) the risk-based capital guidelines in effect in the United States on the Closing Date, including transition rules, and (ii) the corresponding capital regulations promulgated by regulatory authorities
outside the United States implementing the July 1988 report of the Basle Committee on Banking Regulation and Supervisory Practices Entitled “International Convergence of Capital Measurements and Capital Standards,” including transition
rules, and any amendments to such regulations adopted prior to the Closing Date. 
 3.3. Availability of Types of Advances. If
(x) any Lender determines that maintenance of its Eurodollar Loans at a suitable Lending Installation would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation, or directive, whether or not having the force of law, or (y) the Required Lenders
determine that (i) deposits of a type and maturity appropriate to match fund Eurodollar Advances are not available or (ii) the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Advances does not accurately reflect the cost of making or maintaining
Eurodollar Advances, or (iii) no reasonable basis exists for determining the Eurodollar Base Rate, then the Agent shall suspend the availability of Eurodollar Advances and require any affected Eurodollar Advances to be repaid or converted to
Floating Rate Advances on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law, subject to the payment of any funding indemnification amounts required by
Section 3.4. 
 3.4. Funding Indemnification. If any payment of a Eurodollar Advance occurs on a date which is not the last day
of the applicable Interest Period, whether because of acceleration, prepayment or otherwise, or a Eurodollar Advance is not made or continued, or a Floating Rate Advance is not converted into a Eurodollar Advance, on the date specified by the
applicable Borrower for any reason other than default by the Lenders, or a Eurodollar Advance is not prepaid on the date specified by such Borrower for any reason, such Borrower will indemnify each Lender for any loss or cost incurred by it
resulting therefrom, including, without limitation, any loss or cost in liquidating or employing deposits acquired to fund or maintain such Eurodollar Advance; provided that a Defaulting Lender required to assign its Loans under
Section 2.22 shall not be entitled to compensation under this Section 3.4 in connection with such assignment. Such loss or cost shall be deemed to be an amount determined by such Lender (if and to the extent such Lender, in its sole
discretion, elects to impose such a charge) to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Advance had such event not occurred, at the Eurodollar Base Rate that would have been
applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period
for such Advance), over (ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid if it were to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a
comparable amount and period from other banks in the London interbank market. 
  

 40 








 3.5. Taxes. 
  

	 	(i)	All payments by any Borrower to or for the account of any Lender or the Agent hereunder or under any Note shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all
Taxes. If a Borrower is required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder, (a) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to
additional sums payable under this Section 3.5) such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (b) such Borrower shall make such deductions,
(c) such Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority in accordance with applicable law and (d) such Borrower shall furnish to the Agent the original copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or, if a
receipt cannot be obtained with reasonable efforts, such other evidence of payment as is reasonably acceptable to the Agent, in each case within 30 days after such payment is made. 

  

	 	(ii)	In addition, the Borrowers shall pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment
made hereunder or under any Note or from the execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any Note (“Other Taxes”). 

  


	 	(iii)	The Borrowers shall indemnify the Agent and each Lender for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on amounts
payable under this Section 3.5) paid by the Agent or such Lender and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. Payments due under this Section 3.5(iii) shall be made within 30
days of the date the Agent or such Lender makes demand therefor pursuant to Section 3.6. 

  

	 	(iv)	Each Lender shall deliver to the Agent and the applicable Borrower, not more than ten Business Days after the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement (but in any event
before a payment is due to it hereunder), two duly completed copies of: 

  

	 	(a)	in the case of a Lender that is a U.S. Person, IRS Form W-9, 

  

	 	(b)	in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (1) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan
Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (2) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan
Document, IRS form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty, 

  

	 	(c)	 in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, both (1) IRS Form W-8BEN
and (2) a certificate to the effect that such Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 



  

 41 









	 	 
881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code,
(C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code or (D) conducting a trade or business in the United States with which the relevant interest payments are effectively connected,



  

	 	(d)	in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender for which payments under any Loan Document constitute income that is effectively connected with such Non-U.S. Lender’s conduct of a trade or
business in the United States, IRS Form W-8ECI, 

  

	 	(e)	in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender that is not the beneficial owner of payments made under any Loan Document (including a partnership or a participating Lender) (1) an IRS Form
W-8IMY on behalf of itself and (2) the relevant forms described in parts (a), (b), (c), (d) and (f) of this Section 3.5(iv) that would be required of each such beneficial owner, if such beneficial owner were a Lender; provided,
however, that if the Lender is a partnership and one or more of its partners are claiming the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, such Lender may certify that the requirements for such exemption are met on behalf
of such partners or 

  

	 	(f)	any other form prescribed by law as a basis for claiming exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. federal withholding tax, together with any other documentation necessary to enable
the applicable Borrower or the Agent to determine the amount of tax (if any) required by law to be withheld. 

 Each Lender
shall deliver to each of the Borrowers and the Agent (x) renewals or additional copies of such form (or any successor form) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete, and (y) after the occurrence of any event
requiring a change in the most recent forms so delivered by it, such additional forms or amendments thereto as may be reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 3.5(iv), no Lender shall
have any obligation under this Section 3.5(iv) if an event (including without limitation any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms
inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form or amendment with respect to it and such Lender advises the Borrowers and the Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction
or withholding of U.S. federal income tax. 
  

	 	(v)	 For any period during which a Lender has failed to provide the appropriate forms contemplated by Section 3.5(iv) above (unless such failure is due to a change
in treaty, law or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, occurring subsequent to the date on which such Lender became a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a Non-U.S. 



  

 42 









	 	 
Lender that becomes a Lender pursuant to an assignment, unless and to the extent the assigning Lender was entitled, at the time of the assignment, to receive
additional amounts with respect to such withholding taxes pursuant to this Section 3.5)), such Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Section 3.5 with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided that,
should a Lender which is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required under Section 3.5(iv) above, each Borrower shall take such steps as such
Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Lender to recover such Taxes. 


  

	 	(vi)	If the IRS or any other governmental authority of the United States or any other country or any political subdivision thereof asserts a claim that the Agent did not properly
withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered or properly completed, because such Lender failed to notify the Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered its exemption from
withholding ineffective, or for any other reason), such Lender shall indemnify the Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Agent as tax, withholding therefor, or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including
taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable to the Agent under this subsection, together with all reasonable costs and expenses related thereto (including attorneys’ fees and time charges of attorneys for the Agent, which attorneys may
be employees of the Agent). The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 3.5(vi) shall survive the payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement until the later of (i) the expiration of the statute of limitations
(taking into account all extensions) for the assessment of such tax or (ii) the conclusion of any audit with respect to such tax. 

 3.6. Lender Statements; Survival of Indemnity. Each Lender shall deliver a written statement of such Lender to the applicable Borrower (with a copy to the Agent and each applicable Borrower) as to the amount
due, if any, under Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5. Such written statement shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculations upon which such Lender determined such amount and shall be final, conclusive and binding on such Borrower in the
absence of manifest error, and upon reasonable request of such Borrower, such Lender shall promptly provide supporting documentation describing and/or evidence of the applicable event giving rise to such amount to the extent not inconsistent with
such Lender’s policies or applicable law. Determination of amounts payable under such Sections in connection with a Eurodollar Loan shall be calculated as though each Lender funded its Eurodollar Loan through the purchase of a deposit of the
type, currency and maturity corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in determining the Eurodollar Rate applicable to such Loan, whether in fact that is the case or not. Unless otherwise provided herein, the amount specified in the written
statement of any Lender shall be payable on demand after receipt by the applicable Borrower of such written statement. The obligations of each Borrower under Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 and 3.5 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of
this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers shall not be responsible for any reimbursement of any such amount under Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5 which shall have accrued and of which the applicable Lender shall have become
aware more than 180 days prior to its delivery to the Borrower of notice requesting reimbursement thereof. 
  

 43 








 3.7. Alternative Lending Installation. To the extent reasonably possible, each Lender shall
designate an alternate Lending Installation with respect to its Eurodollar Loans to reduce any liability of the Borrowers to such Lender under Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.5 or to avoid the unavailability of Eurodollar Advances under Section 3.3, so
long as such designation is not, in the judgment of such Lender, disadvantageous to such Lender. A Lender’s designation of an alternative Lending Installation shall not affect the Borrowers’ rights under Section 2.22 to replace a
Lender. 
 3.8. Allocation of Amounts Payable Among Borrowers. Each amount payable by “the Borrowers” under this Article
shall be an obligation of, and shall be discharged (a) to the extent arising out of acts, events and circumstances related to a particular Borrower, by such Borrower and (b) otherwise, by all the Illinois Utilities and all the Borrowers,
with each of them being severally liable for its Contribution Percentage of such amount.

 Each Borrower hereby represents and warrants to each Lender, each Issuing Bank and the Agent, as to such Borrower and, as applicable, its Subsidiaries,
as of each of (i) (x) in the case of the Company, the Closing Date, and (y) in the case of each Illinois Utility, its Accession Date, and (ii) each date as of which such Borrower is deemed to make the representations and
warranties set forth in this Article under Section 4.4.

Subsidiaries (other than any Project Finance Subsidiary or Non-Material Subsidiary or an SPC) is a corporation, partnership (in the case of Subsidiaries only) or limited liability company duly and properly incorporated or organized, as the case may
be, validly existing and (to the extent such concept applies to such entity) in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization and has all requisite authority to conduct its business in each jurisdiction in which

 49 








 5.2. Authorization and Validity. Such Borrower has the power and authority and legal right to
execute and deliver the Loan Documents and to perform its obligations thereunder. The execution and delivery by such Borrower of the Loan Documents and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been duly authorized by proper proceedings,
and the Loan Documents to which such Borrower is a party constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of such Borrower enforceable against such Borrower in accordance with their terms, except as enforceability may be limited by
(i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization or similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally; (ii) general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity
or at law) and (iii) requirements of reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing. 
 5.3. No Conflict; Government Consent.
Neither the execution and delivery by such Borrower of the Loan Documents, nor the consummation of the transactions therein contemplated, nor compliance with the provisions thereof will violate (i) any law, rule, regulation, order, writ,
judgment, injunction, decree or award binding on such Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or (ii) such Borrower’s or any Subsidiary’s articles or certificate of incorporation, partnership agreement, certificate of partnership,
articles or certificate of organization, by-laws, or operating agreement or other management agreement, as the case may be, or (iii) the provisions of the Ameren/UE Agreement or any indenture, any material instrument or any material agreement
to which such Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or is subject, or by which it, or its Property, is bound, or conflict with, or constitute a default under, or result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien in, of or on the
Property of such Borrower or a Subsidiary pursuant to the terms of, the Ameren/UE Agreement or any such indenture, instrument or agreement. No order, consent, adjudication, approval, license, authorization, or validation of, or filing, recording or
registration with, or exemption by, or other action in respect of any governmental or public body or authority, or any subdivision thereof, which has not been obtained by such Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, is required to be obtained by such
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, the borrowings and issuances of Letters of Credit under this Agreement, the payment and performance by such Borrower of the Obligations or the
legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents. 
 5.4. Financial Statements. The consolidated
financial statements of such Borrower, audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, and the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of such Borrower as of March 31, 2009, and the related
unaudited statement of income and statement of cash flows for the three-month period then ended, copies of which have been furnished to each Lender, fairly present in all material respects (subject in the case of such balance sheet and statement of
income for the period ended March 31, 2009, to the absence of footnotes and subject to year-end adjustments) the consolidated financial condition of such Borrower at such dates and the consolidated results of the operations of such Borrower for
the periods ended on such dates, were prepared, except in the case of such unaudited statements, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in effect on the dates such statements were prepared (except for the absence of footnotes
and subject to year end audit adjustments) and fairly present the consolidated financial 

  

 50 








 
condition and operations of such Borrower at such dates and the consolidated results of their operations for the periods then ended. Except as disclosed in
the financial statements referred to above or in the notes thereto or on Schedule 5 hereto, neither such Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has as of the Closing Date any material contingent liabilities. 
 5.5. Material Adverse Change. Since December 31, 2008, there has been no change in the business, Property, condition (financial or otherwise)
or results of operations of such Borrower and its Subsidiaries (other than any Project Finance Subsidiary) which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect with respect to such Borrower, except for the Disclosed Matters.

 5.6. Taxes. Such Borrower and its Subsidiaries have filed all U.S. federal tax returns and all other material tax returns which are
required to be filed and have paid all taxes due pursuant to said returns or pursuant to any assessment received by such Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, except in respect of such taxes, if any, as are being contested in good faith and as to
which adequate reserves have been provided in accordance with Agreement Accounting Principles and as to which no Lien exists (except as permitted by Section 6.13.2). No claims have been, or are being, asserted with respect to such taxes that
could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect with respect to such Borrower and no Liens have been filed with respect to such taxes (other than as permitted pursuant to Section 6.13.2). The charges, accruals and reserves
on the books of such Borrower and its Subsidiaries in respect of any taxes or other governmental charges are adequate. Except as provided in the following sentence, the IRS has closed audits of the U.S. federal income tax returns filed by such
Borrower for all periods through the calendar taxable year ending December 31, 2004. The IRS has not closed audits of the CILCORP U.S. federal income tax returns for the calendar year ending December 31, 1998 and the portion of calendar
year 1999 that ended with CILCORP’s acquisition by AES Corporation, which returns included CILCO. The IRS has not closed audits of CILCORP for subsequent periods. 
 5.7. Litigation and Contingent Obligations. Other than the Disclosed Matters, there is no litigation, arbitration, governmental investigation, proceeding or inquiry pending or, to the knowledge of any of its
officers, threatened against or affecting such Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect with respect to such Borrower or which seeks to prevent, enjoin or delay the making of any Loans
to such Borrower. 
 5.8. Subsidiaries. Schedule 1 contains an accurate list of all Subsidiaries of such Borrower as of the date of
this Agreement, setting forth their respective jurisdictions of organization and the percentage of their respective capital stock or other ownership interests owned by such Borrower or other Subsidiaries of such Borrower. As of the Closing Date, all
the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock or other ownership interests of such Subsidiaries have been (to the extent such concepts are relevant with respect to such ownership interests) duly authorized and issued and are fully paid and
non-assessable. 
 5.9. ERISA. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other
ERISA Events that have occurred or are reasonably expected to occur, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect with respect to such Borrower. 
  


 51 








 5.10. Accuracy of Information. The information, exhibits or reports (other than budgets,
forecasts, projections and forward looking statements (collectively, “Projections”)) with respect to such Borrower furnished to the Agent or to any Lender in connection with the negotiation of, or compliance with, the Loan Documents as of
the date furnished do not contain any material misstatement of fact or omit to state a material fact or any fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading. The Projections with respect to such Borrower furnished to the Agent
or to any Lender in connection with the negotiation of, or compliance with, the Loan Documents as of the date furnished shall have been prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed by such Borrower to be reasonable at the time such
Projections were prepared. 
 5.11. Regulation U. Neither such Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is engaged principally, or as one
of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose, whether immediate, incidental or ultimate, of buying or carrying margin stock (as defined in Regulation U), and after applying the proceeds of each Advance, margin
stock (as defined in Regulation U) will constitute less than 25% of the value of those assets of such Borrower and its Subsidiaries that are subject to any limitation on sale, pledge, or any other restriction hereunder. 
 5.12. Material Agreements. Neither such Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any charter
or other corporate restriction which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect with respect to such Borrower as described in clauses (ii) and/or (iii) of the definition thereof. Neither such Borrower nor any of its
Subsidiaries is in default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any agreement or instrument (other than any of the foregoing evidencing or governing Indebtedness) to which it
is a party, which default could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect with respect to such Borrower. 
 5.13.
Compliance With Laws. Except for the Disclosed Matters, such Borrower and its Subsidiaries have complied with all applicable statutes, rules, regulations, orders and restrictions of any domestic or foreign government or any instrumentality or
agency thereof having jurisdiction over the conduct of their respective businesses or the ownership of their respective Property, non-compliance with which could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect with respect to such
Borrower. 
 5.14. Ownership of Properties. Such Borrower and its Subsidiaries have good title to or rights to use (except for minor
defects in title that do not interfere with their ability to conduct their business as currently conducted or to utilize such properties for the intended purposes), free of all Liens other than those permitted by Section 6.13, all of the assets
material to the business of such Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. 
 5.15. Plan Assets; Prohibited Transactions. Such
Borrower is not an entity deemed to hold “plan assets” within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101 of an employee benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) which is subject to Title I of ERISA or any plan (within the


  

 52 








 
meaning of Section 4975 of the Code), and assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties made in Section 9.12 and in any assignment
made pursuant to Section 12.3.3, neither the execution of this Agreement nor the making of Loans hereunder gives rise to a prohibited transaction within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code. 
 5.16. Environmental Matters. In the ordinary course of its business, the officers of such Borrower consider the effect of Environmental Laws on
the business of such Borrower and its Subsidiaries, in the course of which they identify and evaluate potential risks and liabilities accruing to such Borrower due to Environmental Laws. On the basis of this consideration, such Borrower has
concluded that, other than the Disclosed Matters, there exists no violation of, no actual or contingent liability under, and no requirement under any Environmental Laws that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect with respect
to such Borrower. Except for the Disclosed Matters, and except with respect to any other matters that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect with respect to such Borrower, neither
such Borrower nor any Subsidiary has received any notice to the effect that its operations are not in material compliance with any of the requirements of applicable Environmental Laws or are the subject of any federal or state investigation
evaluating whether any remedial action is needed to respond to a release of any toxic or hazardous waste or substance into the environment. 
 5.17. Investment Company Act. Neither such Borrower nor any Subsidiary of such Borrower is an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company”, within the meaning of the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. 
 5.18. Regulatory Matters. (a) The Company is a “holding company” and
each Illinois Utility is a “public-utility company”, as such terms are defined in the 2005 Act. Each Illinois Utility is a “public utility” as defined in the Illinois Public Utilities Act. 
 (b) No authorization from FERC or the Illinois Commerce Commission (the “ICC”) is required to permit the Company to borrow under this
Agreement. 
 (c) The FERC, in accordance with the Federal Power Act, has (i) granted blanket authorization to IP to issue securities
and assume liabilities, including borrowing under this Agreement, pursuant to an order captioned Illinois Power Company, d/b/a Ameren IP et al., 110 FERC ¶ 61,408 (March 31, 2005) (Docket ER05-638-000) and (ii) issued an order
authorizing the incurrence of short-term indebtedness by each of the other Illinois Utilities in an aggregate principal amount outstanding not to exceed its FERC Limit, subject to, among other things, the condition that all such indebtedness be
issued on or before March 31, 2010. Unless such authorization is no longer required by applicable laws and regulations (and the Agent shall have received confirmation thereof reasonably satisfactory to it), additional authorization from the
FERC (or any governmental agency that succeeds to the authority of the FERC) will be necessary for each of the Illinois Utilities (other than IP) to obtain any Advances under this Agreement or to incur or issue short-term indebtedness, including
without limitation Advances extended under this Agreement after March 31, 2010. In addition, with respect to each Illinois Utility, the ICC has issued an order (in each case, an “ICC Authorization”) as of the Accession Date for each
of the respective Illinois Utilities authorizing such Illinois Utility to issue and deliver the CIPS Credit Agreement Bond (in the case of CIPS), the CILCO Credit Agreement 

  

 53 








 
Bond (in the case of CILCO) and the IP Credit Agreement Bond (in the case of IP), in each case, as collateral for such Illinois Utility’s Obligations.
No approval of the ICC is required for any Illinois Utility to enter into this Credit Agreement or to borrow Advances or incur Obligations hereunder. Except for (i) in the case of IP, CIPS and CILCO, the aforesaid orders/authorizations of the
FERC (as listed on Schedule 4 hereto) and (ii) in the case of the Illinois Utilities, the ICC Authorizations (as listed on Schedule 4 hereto) relating to such Illinois Utility, as of the Closing Date, with respect to the Company, and as of the
applicable Accession Date for each of the respective Illinois Utilities, with respect to such Illinois Utility, no regulatory authorizations, approvals, consents, registrations, declarations or filings are required in connection with the borrowings
by, and issuances of Letters of Credit for the account of, the Company or any such Illinois Utility hereunder or the performance by each of Company and such Illinois Utility of its Obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, except
where the failure to have obtained, made or maintained any such authorizations, approvals, consents, registrations, declarations or filings could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect with respect to such Borrower. No
regulatory authorizations, approvals, consents, registrations, declarations or filings are required in connection with the borrowings by, and issuances of Letters of Credit for the account of, any Borrower hereunder or the performance by any
Borrower of its Obligations, except as set forth above or where the failure to have obtained, made or maintained any such authorizations, approvals, consents, registrations, declarations or filings could not reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect with respect to such Borrower. 
 5.19. Insurance. Such Borrower maintains, and has caused each of its
Subsidiaries to maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurance companies, insurance on all its Property in such amounts, subject to such deductibles and self-insurance retentions, and covering such properties and risks as are consistent
with sound business practice. 
 5.20. No Default or Unmatured Default. No Default or Unmatured Default has occurred and is continuing
with respect to such Borrower. 
 5.21. Collateral Matters. 
 5.21.1 CILCO. In the case of CILCO: 
  

	 	(i)	 The CILCO Credit Agreement Bond has been duly authorized by CILCO and, when delivered to the Agent under the CILCO Bond Delivery Agreement, the CILCO Credit

thereunder in the security afforded by the CILCO Indenture. The CILCO Indenture has been duly authorized by CILCO and, at CILCO’s Accession Date, the CILCO Indenture (as supplemented and amended by the CILCO Supplemental Indenture) will be duly
executed and delivered by CILCO and will be a valid and legally binding instrument, enforceable against CILCO in accordance with its terms, subject to the laws of the State of Illinois affecting the remedies for the enforcement of the security
provided for therein and except as may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and other 



  

 54

and “excepted encumbrances” (as defined in the CILCO Indenture) and such minor imperfections of title and encumbrances, if any, which are not substantial in amount, do not materially detract from the value or marketability of the
properties subject thereto and do not materially impair the title of CILCO to its properties or its right to use its properties in connection with its business as presently conducted. The CILCO Indenture creates in favor of the CILCO Trustee for the
ratable benefit of the holders of each outstanding series of First Mortgage Bonds issued under the CILCO Indenture, including the Agent as holder of the CILCO Credit Agreement Bond, a legal, valid and enforceable first priority security interest in
substantially all the property, plant and equipment, franchises and related rights of CILCO and constitutes a perfected security interest in all such property and assets, subject to (A) Liens, reservations and exceptions permitted under the
CILCO Indenture as in effect on the date hereof and under Section 6.13 and (B) the terms of the franchises, licenses, easements, leases, permits, contracts and other instruments under which such property and assets are held or operated.

“permitted encumbrances and liens” (as defined in the CIPS Indenture) and such minor imperfections of title and encumbrances, if any, which are not substantial in amount, do not materially detract from the value or marketability of the
properties subject thereto and do not materially impair the title of CIPS to its properties or its right to use its properties in connection with its business as presently conducted. The CIPS Indenture creates in favor of the CIPS Trustee for the
ratable benefit of the holders of each outstanding series of First Mortgage Bonds issued under the CIPS Indenture, including the Agent as holder of the CIPS Credit Agreement Bond, a legal, valid and enforceable first priority security interest in

benefit of the holders of each outstanding series of First Mortgage Bonds issued under the IP

 ARTICLE VIII 
 ACCELERATION, WAIVERS, AMENDMENTS AND REMEDIES 
 8.1. Acceleration. If any Default described in Section 7.6 or 7.7 occurs with respect to a Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (other than
Project Finance Subsidiaries or Non-Material Subsidiaries or an SPC) , the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans and of the Issuing Banks to issue Letters of Credit hereunder to such Borrower (and, if such Borrower is an Illinois Utility, the
Company) shall automatically terminate and the Obligations of such Borrower (and, if such Borrower is an Illinois Utility, the Company) shall immediately become due and payable without any election or action on the part of the Agent, any Issuing
Bank or any Lender. If any other Default occurs with respect to a Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (other than Project Finance Subsidiaries or Non-Material Subsidiaries or an SPC), the Required Lenders (or the Agent with the consent of the
Required Lenders) may terminate or suspend the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans and of the Issuing Banks to issue Letters of Credit hereunder to such Borrower, or declare the Obligations to be due and payable, or both, whereupon the
Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which such Borrower hereby expressly waives. 
 If, after acceleration of the maturity of the Obligations or termination of the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans and of the Issuing Banks to issue Letters of Credit hereunder as a result of any Default (other
than any Default as described in Section 7.6 or 7.7 with respect to such Borrower) and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the Obligations due shall have been obtained or entered, the Required Lenders (in their sole discretion)
shall so direct, the Agent shall, by notice to such Borrower, rescind and annul such acceleration and/or termination. 
  

 77 








 8.2. Amendments. Subject to the provisions of this Section 8.2, the Required Lenders (or the
Agent with the consent in writing of the Required Lenders) and the Borrowers may enter into agreements supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding or modifying any provisions to the Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the
Lenders or the Borrowers hereunder or thereunder or waiving any Default hereunder or thereunder; provided, however, that no such supplemental agreement shall, without the consent of each affected Lender: 
 8.2.1 Extend the final maturity of any Revolving Loan or LC Disbursement or postpone any payment of principal of any Revolving Loan or LC
Disbursement or forgive all or any portion of the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon (other than a waiver of the application of the default rate of interest pursuant to
Section 2.14 hereof). 
 8.2.2 Waive any condition set forth in Section 4.4, or, other than as provided in
Section 2.25, reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders or any other percentage of Lenders specified to be the Pro Rata Share in this Agreement to act on specified matters or amend the definition of “Pro Rata
Share”. 
 8.2.3 Extend the Commitment Termination Date, or reduce the amount or extend the payment date for, the
mandatory payments required under Section 2.2, or increase the amount of the Commitment of any such affected Lender hereunder or increase any Borrower Sublimit hereunder, or permit any Borrower to assign its rights or obligations under this
Agreement or change Section 2.15, 2.8.3 or 11.2 in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments or the application of reductions of commitments on a ratable basis required thereby. 
 8.2.4 Terminate the interest of the Agent in all or any portion of the CILCO Credit Agreement Bond, the CIPS Credit Agreement Bond or the
IP Credit Agreement Bond without the written consent of each Lender, in each case unless both the Borrower Sublimit and the Borrower Credit Exposure of the applicable Borrower have been reduced to zero. 
 8.2.5 Amend this Section 8.2. 
 No
amendment of any provision of this Agreement relating to the Agent or any Issuing Bank shall be effective without the written consent of the Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be. The Agent may waive payment of the fee required under
Section 12.3.3 without obtaining the consent of any other party to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the approval of the Required Lenders shall not be required for any Commitment Increase Amendment and any provision of this
Agreement may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrowers, the Required Lenders and the Agent if (i) by the terms of such agreement any remaining Commitment of each Lender not consenting to the amendment provided for
therein shall terminate upon the effectiveness of such amendment and (ii) at the time such amendment becomes effective, each Lender not consenting thereto receives payment in full of the principal of and interest accrued on each Advance made by
it and all other amounts owing to it or accrued for its account under this Agreement. 
  

 78 








 8.3. Preservation of Rights. No delay or omission of the Lenders, the Agent or the Issuing Banks
to exercise any right under the Loan Documents shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or an acquiescence therein, and the making of a Credit Extension notwithstanding the existence of a Default or Unmatured Default or
the inability of a Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent to such Credit Extension shall not constitute any waiver or acquiescence. Any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right, and no waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Loan Documents whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by, or by the Agent with the consent of, the requisite number of
Lenders required pursuant to Section 8.2, and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth. All remedies contained in the Loan Documents or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the Agent, the
Issuing Banks and the Lenders until all of the Obligations have been paid in full. 
 8.4. Release of Liens. Notwithstanding any other
provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Agent is hereby authorized, and shall, without any further action or consent of the Lenders, (i) release or consent to the release of any Lien securing the Obligations in respect of any asset
disposed of to any Person that is not an Affiliate of the Borrower disposing of such asset in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.11 or any asset disposed of by a Borrower or one of its Subsidiaries to any Affiliate of the Company
(other than to any of such disposing Borrower’s Subsidiaries) in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.12.2, (ii) surrender the CILCO Credit Agreement Bond to the CILCO Trustee for cancellation when each of the Borrower Sublimit
and the Borrower Credit Exposure of CILCO have been reduced to zero and all fees and other amounts payable by CILCO with respect to the Obligations of CILCO have been duly paid, (iii) surrender the CIPS Credit Agreement Bond to the CIPS
Trustees for cancellation when each of the Borrower Sublimit and the Borrower Credit Exposure of CIPS have been reduced to zero and all fees and other amounts payable by CIPS with respect to the Obligations of CIPS have been duly paid, and
(iv) surrender the IP Credit Agreement Bond to the IP Trustee for cancellation when each of the Borrower Sublimit and the Borrower Credit Exposure of IP have been reduced to zero and all fees and other amounts payable by IP with respect to the
Obligations of IP have been duly paid. This Section 8.4 does not require any consent of Lenders or release by the Agent in connection with the release of property from the Lien of the CIPS Indenture, the CILCO Indenture or the IP Indenture that
is made in accordance with the respective requirements of those instruments.

	 	(ii)	Subject to paragraph (iii) below, the Illinois Utilities and the Borrowers hereby further agree to indemnify the Agent, the Arrangers, each Issuing Bank, each Lender, their
respective affiliates, and each of their directors, officers and employees against all losses, claims, damages, penalties, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, all expenses of litigation or preparation therefor whether
or not the Agent, the Arrangers, any Issuing Bank, any Lender or any affiliate is a party thereto, and all attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees, time charges and expenses of attorneys and paralegals of the party seeking indemnification, which
attorneys and paralegals may or may not be employees of such party seeking indemnification) which any of them may pay or incur arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the transactions contemplated hereby or the direct
or indirect application or proposed application of the proceeds of any Loan hereunder except to the extent that they have resulted, as determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction, from the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of the party seeking indemnification. 

  

	 	(iii)	Each amount payable under paragraph (i) or (ii) of this Section shall be an obligation of, and shall be discharged by (a) to the extent arising out of acts, events

Contribution Percentage of such amount. 

  

	 	(iv)	To the extent that the Illinois Utilities and the Borrowers fail to pay any amount required to be paid by them to the Agent, the Arrangers or any Issuing Bank under paragraph
(i) or (ii) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agent, the Arrangers or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or
indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Agent, the Arrangers or
such Issuing Bank in its capacity as such. 

  

	 	(v)	The obligations of the Illinois Utilities and the Borrowers under this Section 9.6 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the Facility Termination Date.

 81 








 9.8. Accounting. Except as provided to the contrary herein, all accounting terms used in the
calculation of any financial covenant or test shall be interpreted and all accounting determinations hereunder in the calculation of any financial covenant or test shall be made in accordance with Agreement Accounting Principles. If any changes in
generally accepted accounting principles are hereafter required or permitted and are adopted by any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries with the agreement of its independent certified public accountants and such changes result in a change in the
method of calculation of any of the financial covenants, tests, restrictions or standards herein or in the related definitions or terms used therein (“Accounting Changes”), the parties hereto agree, at such Borrower’s request, to
enter into negotiations, in good faith, in order to amend such provisions in a credit neutral manner so as to reflect equitably such changes with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating such Borrower’s and its Subsidiaries’
financial condition shall be the same after such changes as if such changes had not been made; provided, however, until such provisions are amended in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and the Required
Lenders, no Accounting Change shall be given effect in such calculations. In the event such amendment is entered into, all references in this Agreement to Agreement Accounting Principles shall mean generally accepted accounting principles as of the
date of such amendment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all financial statements to be delivered by such Borrower pursuant to Section 6.1 shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in effect at such time
(subject in the case of interim financial statements, to the absence of footnotes and year-end adjustments). 
 9.9. Severability of
Provisions. Any provision in any Loan Document that is held to be inoperative, unenforceable or invalid in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable or invalid without affecting the remaining provisions in
that jurisdiction or the operation, enforceability or validity of that provision in any other jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of all Loan Documents are declared to be severable. 
 9.10. Nonliability. The relationship between the Borrowers individually on the one hand and the Lenders and the Agent on the other hand shall be
solely that of borrower and lender. None of the Agent, the Arrangers, any Issuing Bank or any Lender shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to the Borrowers. None of the Agent, the Arrangers, any Issuing Bank or any Lender undertakes any
responsibility to the Borrowers to review or inform the Borrowers of any matter in connection with any phase of the Borrowers’ businesses or operations. The Borrowers agree that none of the Agent, the Arrangers, any Issuing Bank or any Lender
shall have liability to the Borrowers (whether sounding in tort, contract or otherwise) for losses suffered by the Borrowers in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, the transactions contemplated and the relationship established
by the Loan Documents, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith, unless it is determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that such losses resulted from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the party from which recovery is sought. None of the Borrowers, the Agent, the Arrangers, any Issuing Bank or any Lender shall have any liability with respect to, and each of the Agent, the Arrangers, each Issuing Bank, each Lender and
each Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue for, any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages suffered by it in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated
thereby. 
  

 82 








 9.11. Confidentiality. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank agrees to hold any confidential
information which it may receive from any Borrower pursuant to this Agreement in confidence, except for disclosure (i) to its Affiliates and to other Borrowers, Lenders or Issuing Banks and their respective Affiliates, for use solely in

such information, for use solely in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, (iii) to regulatory officials having jurisdiction over it or its Affiliates, (iv) to any Person as required by law, regulation, or legal process,
(v) to any Person in connection with any legal proceeding to which such Lender or Issuing Bank is a party, (vi) to such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s direct or indirect contractual counterparties in swap agreements or to legal
counsel, accountants and other professional advisors to such counterparties, in each case which have been informed as to the confidential nature of such information, (vii) as permitted by Section 12.4 and (viii) to rating agencies if
requested or required by such agencies in connection with a rating relating to this Agreement or the Advances hereunder. 
 9.12. Lenders
Not Utilizing Plan Assets. Each Lender and Designated Lender represents and warrants that none of the consideration used by such Lender or Designated Lender to make its Loans constitutes for any purpose of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code
assets of any “plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and the rights and interests of such Lender or Designated Lender in and under the Loan Documents shall not constitute such “plan
assets” under ERISA. 
 9.13. Nonreliance. Each Lender hereby represents that it is not relying on or looking to any margin stock
(as defined in Regulation U) as collateral in the extension or maintenance of the credit provided for herein. 
 9.14. Disclosure. The
Borrowers and each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby acknowledge and agree that each Lender, each Issuing Bank and their Affiliates from time to time may hold investments in, make other loans to or have other relationships with the Borrowers and
their Affiliates. 
 9.15. USA Patriot Act. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the
requirements of the USA Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers, which information includes the names and addresses of the Borrowers and other information that will allow such Lender to
identify the Borrowers in accordance with its requirements. The Borrowers shall promptly following a request by the Agent or any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that the Agent or such Lender reasonably requests in order to
comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations including the USA Patriot Act.

 ARTICLE X 
 THE AGENT 
 10.1. Appointment; Nature of Relationship. JPMCB is hereby appointed by each of
the Lenders and each of the Issuing Banks as its contractual representative (herein referred to as the “Agent”) hereunder and under each other Loan Document, and each of the Lenders and the each of the Issuing Banks irrevocably authorizes
the Agent to act as the contractual representative of such Lender and such Issuing Bank with the rights and duties expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. The Agent agrees to act as such contractual representative upon the
express conditions contained in this Article X. Notwithstanding the use of the defined term “Agent,” it is expressly understood and agreed that the Agent shall not have any fiduciary responsibilities to any Lender or any Issuing Bank by
reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and that the Agent is merely acting as the contractual representative of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks with only those duties as are expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents. In its capacity as the Lenders’ and the Issuing Banks’ contractual representative, the Agent (i) does not hereby assume any fiduciary duties to any of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, (ii) is a
“representative” of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks within the meaning of the term “secured party” as defined in the New York Uniform Commercial Code and (iii) is acting as an independent contractor, the rights and duties
of which are limited to those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby agrees to assert no claim against the Agent on any agency theory or any other theory of liability for
breach of fiduciary duty, all of which claims each Lender hereby waives. 
 10.2. Powers. The Agent shall have and may exercise such
powers under the Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Agent by the terms of each thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Agent shall have no implied duties or fiduciary duties to the Lenders or the
Issuing Banks, or any obligation to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks to take any action thereunder except any action specifically provided by the Collateral Documents to be taken by the Agent. Without limiting any other power granted under any Loan
Document, each Lender authorizes and directs the Agent to vote all the interests of the Lenders as a single bloc based upon the direction of the Required Lenders as contemplated by any Loan Document. 
 10.3. General Immunity. Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable to the Borrowers, the Lenders or
any Lender or any Issuing Bank for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith except to the extent such action or inaction is determined in a final,
non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person. 
 10.4. No Responsibility for Loans, Recitals, etc. Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, or verify (a) any statement,
warranty or representation made in connection with any Loan Document or any borrowing hereunder; (b) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of any obligor under any Loan Document, including, without limitation,


  

 84 








 
any agreement by an obligor to furnish information directly to each Lender and each Issuing Bank; (c) the satisfaction of any condition specified in
Article IV, except receipt of items required to be delivered solely to the Agent; (d) the existence or possible existence of any Default or Unmatured Default; (e) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness, sufficiency or genuineness of
any Loan Document or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection therewith; (f) the value, sufficiency, creation, perfection or priority of any Lien in any collateral security; or (g) the financial condition of the Borrowers or
any guarantor of any of the Obligations or of any of the Borrowers’ or any such guarantor’s respective Subsidiaries. The Agent shall have no duty to disclose to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks information that is not required to be
furnished by the Borrowers to the Agent at such time, but is voluntarily furnished by the Borrowers to the Agent (either in its capacity as Agent or in its individual capacity). 
 10.5. Action on Instructions of Lenders. The Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder and
under any other Loan Document in accordance with written instructions signed by the Required Lenders (or all of the Lenders in the event that and to the extent that this Agreement expressly requires such), and such instructions and any action taken
or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders. The Lenders hereby acknowledge that the Agent shall be under no duty to take any discretionary action permitted to be taken by it pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement
or any other Loan Document unless it shall be requested in writing to do so by the Required Lenders (or all of the Lenders in the event that and to the extent that this Agreement expressly requires such). The Agent shall be fully justified in
failing or refusing to take any action hereunder and under any other Loan Document unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction in writing by the Lenders pro rata against any and all liability, cost and expense that it may incur by
reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. 
 10.6. Employment of Agents and Counsel. The Agent may execute any of its
duties as Agent hereunder and under any other Loan Document by or through employees, agents, and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be answerable to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, except as to money or securities received by it or its authorized
agents, for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. The Agent shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning the contractual arrangement between the Agent and the Lenders and the
Issuing Banks and all matters pertaining to the Agent’s duties hereunder and under any other Loan Document. 
 10.7. Reliance on
Documents; Counsel. The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any Note, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, statement, paper or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper
person or persons, and, in respect to legal matters, upon the opinion of counsel selected by the Agent, which counsel may be employees of the Agent. 
 10.8. Agent’s Reimbursement and Indemnification. The Lenders agree to reimburse and indemnify the Agent ratably in proportion to the their Pro Rata Shares of the Aggregate Commitment (or, if the Aggregate
Commitment has been terminated, of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure) (determined as of the date of any such request by the Agent) (i) for any amounts not reimbursed by the Borrowers for which the Agent is entitled to reimbursement by the
Borrowers under the Loan Documents in its capacity as Agent, (ii) to the extent not paid 

  

 85 








 
by the Borrowers, for any other expenses incurred by the Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, in connection with the preparation, execution,
delivery, administration and enforcement of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, for any expenses incurred by the Agent in connection with any dispute between the Agent and any Lender or between two or more of the Lenders or Issuing
Banks) and (iii) to the extent not paid by the Borrowers, for any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on,
incurred by or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any other document delivered in connection therewith or the transactions contemplated thereby (including, without limitation, for any such
amounts incurred by or asserted against the Agent in connection with any dispute between the Agent and any Lender or between two or more of the Lenders or Issuing Banks), or the enforcement of any of the terms of the Loan Documents or of any such
other documents, provided that (i) no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent any of the foregoing is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent, (ii) any indemnification required pursuant to Section 3.5(vi) shall, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10.8, be paid by the relevant Lender in accordance with the provisions
thereof and (iii) the Agent shall reimburse the Lenders for any amounts the Lenders have paid to the extent such amounts are subsequently recovered from the Borrowers. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 10.8 shall survive
payment of the Obligations, termination and expiration of the Letters of Credit and termination of this Agreement. 
 10.9. Notice of
Default. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Unmatured Default hereunder unless the Agent has received written notice from a Lender or a Borrower referring to this Agreement describing
such Default or Unmatured Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Agent receives such a notice, the Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Borrowers, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks.

 10.10. Rights as a Lender. In the event the Agent is a Lender or an Issuing Bank, the Agent shall have the same rights and powers
hereunder and under any other Loan Document with respect to its Commitment and its Credit Extensions as any Lender or any Issuing Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders”
or “Issuing Bank” shall, at any time when the Agent is a Lender or an Issuing Bank, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Agent in its individual capacity. The Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to,
and generally engage in any kind of trust, debt, equity or other transaction, in addition to those contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, with each Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in which such Borrower or such Subsidiary is
not restricted hereby from engaging with any other Person. The Agent, in its individual capacity, is not obligated to remain a Lender. 
 10.11. Independent Credit Decision. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, the Arrangers or any other Lender or any other Issuing Bank and based on the financial
statements prepared by the Borrowers and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank also
acknowledges that it will, independently and without 

  

 86 








 
reliance upon the Agent, the Arrangers or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to
make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
 10.12. Successor
Agent. The Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrowers, such resignation to be effective upon the appointment of a successor Agent; provided that such Successor Agent
is a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or, if no successor Agent has been appointed, forty-five days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its intention to resign. The Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by written notice
received by the Agent from the Required Lenders, such removal to be effective on the date specified by the Required Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders, with the consent of the Borrowers (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that such consent shall not be required in the event and continuation of a Default), shall have the right to appoint, on behalf of the Borrowers and the Lenders, a successor Agent. If no successor
Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders or consented to by the Borrowers within thirty days after the resigning Agent’s giving notice of its intention to resign, then the resigning Agent may appoint, on behalf of the
Borrowers and the Lenders, a successor Agent. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, the Agent may at any time without the consent of the Borrowers or any Lender or any Issuing Bank, appoint any of its Affiliates which is a commercial bank as a
successor Agent hereunder. If the Agent has resigned or been removed and no successor Agent has been appointed, the Lenders may perform all the duties of the Agent hereunder and the Borrowers shall make all payments in respect of the Obligations to
the applicable Lenders and for all other purposes shall deal directly with the Lenders. No successor Agent shall be deemed to be appointed hereunder until such successor Agent has accepted the appointment. Any such successor Agent shall be a
commercial bank having capital and retained earnings of at least $1,000,000,000 (or such lower amount as shall be acceptable to the Company). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall
thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning or removed Agent. Upon the effectiveness of the resignation or removal of the Agent, the resigning or removed Agent shall be discharged from
its duties and obligations hereunder and under the Loan Documents. After the effectiveness of the resignation or removal of an Agent, the provisions of this Article X shall continue in effect for the benefit of such Agent in respect of any actions
taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. In the event that there is a successor to the Agent by merger, or the Agent assigns its duties and obligations to an Affiliate pursuant
to this Section 10.12, then the term “Prime Rate” as used in this Agreement shall mean the prime rate, base rate or other analogous rate of the new Agent. 
 10.13. Agent and Arrangers Fees. Each Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent and each Arranger, for their respective accounts, the agent and arrangers fees agreed to by such Borrower, the Agent and such Arranger
pursuant to the letter agreements dated June 3, 2009, or as otherwise agreed from time to time. 
 10.14. Delegation to
Affiliates. The Borrowers, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks agree that the Agent may delegate any of its duties under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates. Any such Affiliate (and such Affiliate’s directors, officers, agents and
employees) which performs duties in connection with this Agreement shall be entitled to the same benefits of the indemnification, waiver and other protective provisions to which the Agent is entitled under Articles IX and X. 
  

 87 








 10.15. Syndication Agent and Documentation Agents. The Lender identified in this Agreement as the
“Syndication Agent” and the Lenders identified in this Agreement as the “Documentation Agents” shall have no right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all
Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, such Lenders shall not have or be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with any other Lender. Each Lender hereby makes the same acknowledgements with respect to such Lenders as it makes with
respect to the Agent in Section 10.11. 
 ARTICLE XI 
 SETOFF; RATABLE PAYMENTS 
 11.1. Setoff. In addition to, and without limitation of, any rights
of the Lenders under applicable law, if a Borrower becomes insolvent, however evidenced, or any Default occurs with respect to a Borrower, any and all deposits (including all account balances, whether provisional or final and whether or not
collected or available) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by any Lender or any Affiliate of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to or for the credit or account of such Borrower may be offset and applied toward the payment of the
Obligations owing by such Borrower to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, whether or not the Obligations, or any part thereof, shall then be due. 
 11.2. Ratable Payments. If any Lender, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it upon its Revolving Credit Exposure (other than payments received pursuant to Section 2.22, 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5) in a greater
proportion than that received by any other Lender, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase a participation in the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure held by the other Lenders so that after such purchase each Lender will hold its Pro
Rata Share of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure. If any Lender, whether in connection with setoff or amounts which might be subject to setoff or otherwise, receives collateral or other protection for its Obligations or such amounts which may
be subject to setoff, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to take such action necessary such that all Lenders share in the benefits of such collateral ratably in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares of the Aggregate Revolving Credit
Exposure. In case any such payment is disturbed by legal process, or otherwise, appropriate further adjustments shall be made.

 12.1.1 Successors and Assigns. The terms and provisions of the Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrowers, the Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders and their respective
successors 

  

 88 








 
and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Borrowers shall not have the right to assign their rights or obligations under the Loan Documents
without the prior written consent of the Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank, (ii) any assignment by any Lender must be made in compliance with Section 12.3, and (iii) any transfer by Participants must be made in compliance with
Section 12.2. Any attempted assignment or transfer by any party not made in compliance with this Section 12.1 shall be null and void, unless such attempted assignment or transfer is treated as a participation in accordance with
Section 12.3.2. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that clause (ii) of this Section 12.1 relates only to absolute assignments and this Section 12.1 does not prohibit assignments creating security interests, including,
without limitation, (x) any pledge or assignment by any Lender of all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any Note to a Federal Reserve Bank, (y) in the case of a Lender which is a Fund, any pledge or assignment of all or
any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any Note to its trustee in support of its obligations to its trustee or (z) any pledge or assignment by any Lender of all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any Note to
direct or indirect contractual counterparties in swap agreements relating to the Loans; provided, however, that no such pledge or assignment creating a security interest shall release the transferor Lender from its obligations
hereunder unless and until the parties thereto have complied with the provisions of Section 12.3. The Agent may treat the Person which made any Loan or which holds any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until such
Person complies with Section 12.3; provided, however, that the Agent may in its discretion (but shall not be required to) follow instructions from the Person which made any Loan or which holds any Note to direct payments relating
to such Loan or Note to another Person. Any assignee of the rights to any Loan or any Note agrees by acceptance of such assignment to be bound by all the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents. Any request, authority or consent of any Person,
who at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent is the owner of the rights to any Loan (whether or not a Note has been issued in evidence thereof), shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder or assignee of
the rights to such Loan. 
 12.1.2 Designated Lenders. 
  

	 	(i)	 Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 12.1.2, any Lender may from time to time elect to designate an Eligible Designee to provide all
or any part of the Loans to be made by such Lender pursuant to this Agreement; provided that the designation of an Eligible Designee by any Lender for purposes of this Section 12.1.2 shall be subject to the approval of the Agent (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Upon the execution by the parties to each such designation of an agreement in the form of Exhibit F hereto (a “Designation Agreement”) and the acceptance thereof by the Agent, the
Eligible Designee shall become a Designated Lender for purposes of this Agreement. The Designating Lender shall thereafter have the right to permit the Designated 



  

 89 









	 	 
Lender to provide all or a portion of the Loans to be made by the Designating Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the making of such Loans or
portion thereof shall satisfy the obligations of the Designating Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan was made by the Designating Lender. As to any Loan made by it, each Designated Lender shall have all the rights a Lender making such
Loan would have under this Agreement and otherwise; provided, (x) that all voting rights under this Agreement shall be exercised solely by the Designating Lender, (y) each Designating Lender shall remain solely responsible to the
other parties hereto for its obligations under this Agreement, including the obligations of a Lender in respect of Loans made by its Designated Lender and (z) no Designated Lender shall be entitled to reimbursement under Article III
hereof for any amount which would exceed the amount that would have been payable by the Borrowers to the Lender from which the Designated Lender obtained any interests hereunder. No additional Notes shall be required with respect to Loans provided
by a Designated Lender; provided, however, to the extent any Designated Lender shall advance funds, the Designating Lender shall be deemed to hold the Notes in its possession as an agent for such Designated Lender to the extent of the
Loan funded by such Designated Lender. Such Designating Lender shall act as administrative agent for its Designated Lender and give and receive notices and communications hereunder. Any payments for the account of any Designated Lender shall be paid
to its Designating Lender as administrative agent for such Designated Lender and neither the Borrowers nor the Agent shall be responsible for any Designating Lender’s application of such payments. In addition, any Designated Lender may
(1) with notice to, but without the consent of, the Borrowers or the Agent, assign all or portions of its interests in any Loans to its Designating Lender or to any financial institution consented to by the Agent providing liquidity and/or
credit facilities to or for the account of such Designated Lender and (2) subject to advising any such Person that such information is to be treated as confidential in accordance with Section 9.11, disclose on a confidential basis any
non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any guarantee, surety or credit or liquidity enhancement to such Designated Lender. 


  

	 	(ii)	Each party to this Agreement hereby agrees that it shall not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, any Designated Lender any bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding or other proceedings under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law for one year and a day after the payment in full of all outstanding senior indebtedness of any Designated
Lender. This Section 12.1.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 

 12.2. Participations. 

12.2.1 Permitted Participants; Effect. Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more banks or other entities
(“Participants”) participating interests in any Revolving Credit Exposure of such Lender, any Note held by such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such 

  

 90 








 
Lender under the Loan Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under
the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, such Lender shall remain the owner of its Revolving Credit Exposure and the holder of any
Note issued to it in evidence thereof for all purposes under the Loan Documents, all amounts payable by the Borrowers under this Agreement shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participating interests, and the Borrowers and the
Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents. 
 12.2.2 Voting Rights. Each Lender shall retain the sole right to approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents other than any
amendment, modification or waiver with respect to any Credit Extension or Commitment in which such Participant has an interest which would require consent of all of the Lenders or any of the affected Lenders pursuant to the terms of
Section 8.2. 
 12.2.3 Benefit of Certain Provisions. The Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be deemed to
have the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1 in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under the Loan Documents to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under
the Loan Documents, provided that each Lender shall retain the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1 with respect to the amount of participating interests sold to each Participant. The Lenders agree to share with each Participant, and
each Participant, by exercising the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1, agrees to share with each Lender, any amount received pursuant to the exercise of its right of setoff, such amounts to be shared in accordance with Section 11.2
as if each Participant were a Lender. The Borrowers further agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 and 3.5 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment
pursuant to Section 12.3, provided that (i) a Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.1, 3.2 or 3.5 than the Lender who sold the participating interest to such Participant would have
received had it retained such interest for its own account, unless the sale of such interest to such Participant is made with the prior written consent of the Borrowers, and (ii) any Participant that is not a U.S. Person agrees to comply with
the provisions of Section 3.5 to the same extent as if it were a Lender. 
 12.3. Assignments. 
 12.3.1 Permitted Assignments. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more banks or other entities (other than to any Borrower
or an Affiliate of a Borrower) (“Purchasers”) all or any part of its rights and obligations 

  

 91 








 
under the Loan Documents. Such assignment shall be evidenced by an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit C or in such other form as may be agreed to
by the parties thereto (each such agreement, an “Assignment Agreement”). Each such assignment with respect to a Purchaser which is not a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund shall either be in an amount equal to the
entire applicable Commitment and Revolving Credit Exposure of the assigning Lender or (unless each of the Borrowers and the Agent otherwise consents) be in an aggregate amount not less than $5,000,000. The amount of the assignment shall be based on
the Commitment or, if the Commitments have been terminated, the Revolving Credit Exposure subject to the assignment, determined as of the date of such assignment or as of the “Trade Date,” if the “Trade Date” is specified in the
Assignment Agreement. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. 
 12.3.2 Consents. The consent of the Borrowers shall be required prior to an assignment becoming effective unless the Purchaser is a
Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, provided that the consent of the Borrowers shall not be required if (i) a Default has occurred and is continuing or (ii) such assignment is in connection with the physical
settlement of any Lender’s obligations to direct or indirect contractual counterparties in swap agreements relating to the Loans; provided, that the assignment without the Borrowers’ consent pursuant to clause (ii) shall not
increase the Borrowers’ liability under Section 3.5. The consent of the Agent and each Issuing Bank shall be required prior to an assignment becoming effective. Any consent required under this Section 12.3.2 shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed. 
 12.3.3 Effect; Effective Date. Upon (i) delivery to the Agent of an Assignment Agreement,
together with any consents required by Sections 12.3.1 and 12.3.2, and (ii) payment of a $3,500 fee to the Agent for processing such assignment (unless such fee is waived by the Agent); provided that no fee shall be required if a
Purchaser is a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, such assignment shall become effective on the effective date specified in such assignment. The Assignment Agreement shall contain a representation and warranty by the Purchaser to
the effect that none of the funds, money, assets or other consideration used to make the purchase and assumption of the Commitment and Revolving Credit Exposure under the applicable Assignment Agreement constitutes “plan assets” as defined
under ERISA and that the rights, benefits and interests of the Purchaser in and under the Loan Documents will not be “plan assets” under ERISA. On and after the effective date of such assignment, such Purchaser shall for all purposes be a
Lender party to this Agreement and any other Loan Document executed by or on behalf of the Lenders and shall have all the rights, benefits and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, to the same extent as if it were an original party
thereto, and the transferor Lender shall be released with respect 

  

 92 








 
to the Commitment and Revolving Credit Exposure, if any, assigned to such Purchaser without any further consent or action by the Borrowers, the Lenders or
the Agent. In the case of an assignment covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights, benefits and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of, and
subject to, those provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents which survive payment of the Obligations and termination of the Loan Documents. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that
does not comply with this Section 12.3 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 12.2. Upon the consummation of any assignment to a
Purchaser pursuant to this Section 12.3.3, the transferor Lender, the Agent and the Borrowers shall, if the transferor Lender or the Purchaser desires that its Loans be evidenced by Notes, make appropriate arrangements so that, upon
cancellation and surrender to the Borrowers of the Notes (if any) held by the transferor Lender, new Notes or, as appropriate, replacement Notes are issued to such transferor Lender, if applicable, and new Notes or, as appropriate, replacement
Notes, are issued to such Purchaser, in each case in principal amounts reflecting their respective Commitments (or, if such Commitments have been terminated, their respective Revolving Credit Exposure), as adjusted pursuant to such assignment.

 12.3.4 Register. The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers (and the Borrowers hereby
designate the Agent to act in such capacity), shall maintain at one of its offices in New York, New York a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of
the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of and interest on the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time and whether such Lender is an original Lender or assignee of another Lender pursuant to an
assignment under this Section 13.3. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error and the Borrowers, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as
a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

 12.4. Dissemination of Information. The Borrowers authorize each Lender to disclose to any Participant or Purchaser or any other
Person acquiring an interest in the Loan Documents by operation of law (each a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all information in such Lender’s possession concerning the creditworthiness of the Borrowers and their
Subsidiaries; provided that each Transferee and prospective Transferee agrees to be bound by Section 9.11 of this Agreement. 
  

 93 








 12.5. Tax Certifications. If any interest in any Loan Document is transferred to any Transferee
which is not a U.S. Person, the transferor Lender shall cause such Transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, to comply with the provisions of Section 3.5(iv).

 EXHIBIT A-1 
 June 30, 2009 
 To the Lenders (as defined below) and 
 JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., 
     as Agent 
 270 Park Avenue 
 New York, NY 10017 
 Dear Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 I, S.R. Sullivan, am the Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary of Ameren Corporation, a Missouri
corporation (the “Company”), and certain of its subsidiaries. I, or lawyers under my direction, have acted as counsel for the Company in connection with the negotiation and execution of that certain Credit Agreement dated as of
June 30, 2009 (the “Credit Agreement”), among the Company, Central Illinois Public Service Company, an Illinois corporation, Central Illinois Light Company, an Illinois corporation, Illinois Power Company, an Illinois
corporation, the lending institutions identified therein as “Lenders,” JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Agent, and Barclays Bank PLC as Syndication Agent. Terms defined in the Credit Agreement are used herein with the same meanings.

 In rendering the opinion expressed below, I, or lawyers under my direction, have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to my
satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records, certificates of public officials and other instruments and have conducted such other investigations of fact and law as I have deemed necessary or advisable for purposes of this opinion. 

In making the examinations described above, I have assumed without independent investigation the capacity of natural persons (other than the office held by each
representative of the Company) as reflected adjacent to such individual’s signature on the Loan Documents (as defined below), the genuineness of all signatures (other than those of representatives of the Company appearing on the Loan
Documents), the authenticity of all documents furnished to me as originals, the conformity to originals of all documents furnished to me as certified or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of such documents. In addition, I have
assumed without independent investigation that (i) the Loan Documents have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the parties thereto other than the Company, and constitute their valid, lawful and binding obligations and agreements,
and (ii) there is no separate agreement, undertaking, or course of dealing modifying, varying or waiving any of the terms of the Loan Documents. As to matters of fact not independently established by me relevant to the opinions set forth
herein, I have relied without independent investigation on the representations contained in the Loan Documents and in certificates of public officials and responsible representatives of the Company furnished to me; provided, however,
that I advise that in the course of my representation of the Company, I have obtained no information that leads me to believe that any such representation or certificate is untrue or misleading in any material respect. 







 Upon the basis of and subject to the foregoing, I am of the opinion that: 
 1. The Company is a corporation duly and properly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Missouri and has all
requisite authority to conduct its business in each jurisdiction in which its business is conducted, other than the failure of the Company to be qualified to transact business in any such jurisdiction to the extent such failure could not reasonably
be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 2. The Company has the power and authority and legal right to execute and deliver, and
to perform its obligations under the Credit Agreement and the Notes (collectively, the “Loan Documents”). The execution and delivery of, and the performance of its obligations under, the Loan Documents by the Company have been duly
authorized by proper proceedings, and the Loan Documents to which the Company is a party constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, except as enforceability may be
limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, or similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally; (ii) general equitable principles (whether considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law); and (iii) requirements of reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing. 
 3. Neither the execution and
delivery by the Company of the Loan Documents, nor the consummation of the transactions therein contemplated, nor compliance with the provisions thereof, nor the performance of the obligations thereunder, violate (i) any law, rule or regulation
of the State of Missouri or the United States of America, or any order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree or award binding on the Company, (ii) the Company’s articles or certificate of incorporation or by-laws or (iii) the provisions
of any indenture or material instrument or material agreement to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or is subject, or by which it, or its Property, is bound, or conflict with, or constitute a default under, or result in, or
require, the creation or imposition of any Lien in, of or on the Property of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of, any such indenture, instrument or agreement. No order, consent, adjudication, approval, license,
authorization, or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, or exemption by, or other action in respect of any governmental or public body or authority, or any subdivision thereof, which has not been obtained by the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries, is required to be obtained by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, the borrowings and issuances of Letters of Credit for the account of the Company under the
Loan Documents, the payment and performance by the Company of the obligations thereunder or the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability as to the Company of any of the Loan Documents. 
  

 2 








 4. Except for the Disclosed Matters, there is no litigation, arbitration, governmental investigation,
proceeding or inquiry currently existing, or, to the best of my knowledge after due inquiry, pending or threatened against or affecting the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, which, if determined adversely to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries,
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company or which seeks to prevent, enjoin or delay the making of the Loans or would adversely effect the legality, validity or enforceability of the Loan Documents as to the
Company or the ability of the Company to perform the transactions contemplated therein. 
 5. The Company is not an “investment
company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. 
 6. No federal governmental consents, approvals, authorizations, registrations, declarations or filings are required in connection with the execution, delivery and/or performance by the Company of the Loan Documents.

 7. In a properly presented case, a Missouri court or a federal court applying Missouri choice of law rules should give effect to the
choice of law provisions of the Loan Documents and should hold that the Loan Documents are to be governed by the laws of the State of New York rather than the laws of the State of Missouri. In rendering the foregoing opinion, I note that by their
terms the Loan Documents expressly selects New York law as the law governing their interpretation and that the Loan Documents were delivered to the Agent in New York. The choice of law provisions of the Loan Documents are not voidable under the
laws of the State of Missouri. Notwithstanding the foregoing, even if a Missouri court or a federal court holds that the Loan Documents are to be governed by the laws of the State of Missouri, the Loan Documents would constitute a legal, valid and
binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company under Missouri law (including usury provisions) in accordance with their terms, except as enforceability may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance,
reorganization, or similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally; (ii) general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law); and (iii) requirements of
reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing. 
 I express no opinion as to the compliance or noncompliance, or the effect of the compliance
or noncompliance, of any addressee with any state or federal laws or regulations applicable to it by reason of its status as or affiliation with a federally insured depository institution. 
  

 3 








 I am a member of the Bar of the State of Missouri and the foregoing opinion is limited to the laws of the State of
Missouri and the Federal laws of the United States of America typically relevant to a transaction of this type. I note that the Loan Documents are governed by the laws of the State of New York and, for purposes of the opinion expressed in opinion
paragraph 2 above and with your permission, I have assumed that the laws of the State of New York do not differ from the laws of the State of Missouri in any manner that would render such opinion incorrect. This opinion is rendered solely to you in
connection with the above matter. This opinion may not be relied upon by you for any other purpose or relied upon by any other Person (other than your successors and assigns as Lenders) without my prior written consent. Notwithstanding anything in
this opinion letter to the contrary, you may disclose this opinion (i) to prospective successors and assigns of the addressees hereof, (ii) to regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over any of the addressees hereof or their successors
and assigns, and (iii) pursuant to valid legal process, in each case without my prior consent.

 This opinion is delivered as of the date hereof and I undertake no, and disclaim any, obligation to
advise you of any change in matters of law or fact set forth herein or upon which this opinion is based.

 To the Lenders and 
 JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., 
     as Agent 
 270 Park Avenue 
 New York, NY 10017 
 Dear Ladies and Gentlemen: 

I, Craig W. Stensland, am an Associate General Counsel of Ameren Services Company, an affiliate that provides legal and other professional services to Central
Illinois Public Service Company, an Illinois corporation, Central Illinois Light Company, an Illinois corporation, and Illinois Power Company, an Illinois corporation (collectively, the “Illinois Utility Borrowers”). I, or lawyers
under my direction, have acted as counsel for the Illinois Utility Borrowers in connection with the Credit Agreement dated as of June 30, 2009 (the “Credit Agreement”), among the Illinois Utility Borrowers, Ameren Corporation,
a Missouri corporation, the lending institutions identified therein as Lenders, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Agent, and Barclays Bank PLC as Syndication Agent. Terms defined in the Credit Agreement are used herein with the same meanings.

 In rendering the opinion expressed below, I, or lawyers under my direction, have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to my
satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records, certificates of public officials and other instruments and have conducted such other investigations of fact and law as I have deemed necessary or advisable for purposes of this opinion. 

In making the examinations described above, I have assumed without independent investigation the capacity of natural persons (other than the office held by each
representative of the Illinois Utility Borrowers) as reflected adjacent to such individual’s signature on the Loan Documents executed by such Illinois Utility Borrower, the genuineness of all signatures (other than those of representatives of
the Illinois Utility Borrowers appearing on the Loan Documents), the authenticity of all documents furnished to me as originals, the conformity to originals of all documents furnished to me as certified or photostatic copies and the authenticity of
the originals of such documents. In addition, I have assumed without 








 
independent investigation that (i) the Loan Documents have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the parties thereto other than the Illinois
Utility Borrowers, and constitute their valid, lawful and binding obligations and agreements, and (ii) there is no separate agreement, undertaking, or course of dealing modifying, varying or waiving any of the terms of the Loan Documents. As to
matters of fact not independently established by me relevant to the opinions set forth herein, I have relied without independent investigation on the representations contained in the Loan Documents and in certificates of public officials and
responsible representatives of each Illinois Utility Borrower furnished to me; provided, however, that I advise that in the course of my representation of the Illinois Utility Borrowers, I obtained no information that leads me to
believe that any such representation or certificate is untrue or misleading in any material respect. 
 Upon the basis of and subject to the foregoing, I am
of the opinion that: 
  

	1.	Each of the Illinois Utility Borrowers and each of their Subsidiaries (other than any Project Finance Subsidiary or Non-Material Subsidiary or an SPC) is a corporation, partnership
(in the case of Subsidiaries only) or limited liability company duly and properly incorporated or organized, as the case may be, validly existing and (to the extent such concept applies to such entity) in good standing under the laws of its
jurisdiction of incorporation or organization and has all requisite authority to conduct its business in each jurisdiction in which its business is conducted, other than the failure of any such Illinois Utility Borrower to be qualified to transact
business in any such jurisdiction to the extent such failure could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 

  

	2.	Each Illinois Utility Borrower has the power and authority and legal right to execute and deliver the Credit Agreement and to perform its obligations thereunder prior to the
Accession Date for such Illinois Utility Borrower. The execution and delivery by each Illinois Utility Borrower of the Credit Agreement and the performance by each Illinois Utility Borrower of its obligations thereunder prior to the Accession Date
for such Illinois Utility Borrower have been duly authorized by proper proceedings, and the Credit Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Illinois Utility Borrower enforceable against such Illinois Utility Borrower in
accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, or similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally;
(ii) general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law); and (iii) requirements of reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing. 

  

 2 









	3.	Neither the execution and delivery by each Illinois Utility Borrower of the Credit Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions therein contemplated, nor compliance with the
provisions thereof, in each case prior to the Accession Date, will violate (i) any law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree or award binding on such Illinois Utility Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (ii) such
Illinois Utility Borrower’s or any Subsidiary’s articles or certificate of incorporation, partnership agreement, certificate of partnership, articles or certificate of organization, by-laws, or operating agreement or other management
agreement, as the case may be, or (iii) the provisions of any indenture, material instrument or material agreement to which such Illinois Utility Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or is subject, or by which it, or its Property, is
bound, or conflict with, or constitute a default under, or result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien (other than the Liens contemplated by the Collateral Documents applicable to such Illinois Utility Borrower when the same are
executed and delivered) in, of or on the Property of such Illinois Utility Borrower or a Subsidiary pursuant to the terms of, any such indenture, instrument or agreement. No order, consent, adjudication, approval, license, authorization, or
validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, or exemption by, or other action in respect of any governmental or public body or authority, or any subdivision thereof, which has not been obtained by each Illinois Utility Borrower or any
of its Subsidiaries, is required to be obtained by such Illinois Utility Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the execution and delivery of the Credit Agreement, the performance by such Illinois Utility Borrower of the Obligations
under the Credit Agreement prior to the Accession Date or the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of the Credit Agreement prior to the Accession Date. 

  

	4.	In a properly presented case, an Illinois court or a federal court applying Illinois choice of law rules should give effect to the choice of law provisions of the Credit Agreement
and should hold that the Credit Agreement is to be governed by the laws of the State of New York rather than the laws of the State of Illinois. In rendering the foregoing opinion, I note that by its terms the Credit Agreement expressly selects
New York law as the law governing its interpretation and that the Credit Agreement was delivered to the Agent in New York. The choice of law provisions of the Credit Agreement are not voidable under the laws of the State of Illinois.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, even if an Illinois court or a federal court holds that the Credit Agreement is to be governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, the Credit Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of each
Illinois Utility Borrower thereto, enforceable under Illinois law (including usury provisions) against such Illinois Utility Borrower in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency,
fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, or similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally; (ii) general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law); and
(iii) requirements of reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing. 

  

 3 








 I express no opinion as to the compliance or noncompliance, or the effect of the compliance or noncompliance, of any
addressee with any state or federal laws or regulations applicable to it by reason of its status as or affiliation with a federally insured depository institution. 
 All the forgoing opinions are subject to the qualification that no Illinois Utility Borrower is entitled to any Loan under the Credit Agreement or required to enter into any of the Collateral Documents applicable to such Illinois Utility
Borrower until the Accession Date for such Illinois Utility Borrower has occurred. As of the date hereof, no Accession Date has occurred. 
 I am a member of
the Bar of the State of Illinois and the foregoing opinion is limited to the laws of the State of Illinois. I note that the Credit Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of New York and, for purposes of the opinion expressed in opinion
paragraph 2 above, I have assumed that the laws of the State of New York do not differ from the laws of the State of Illinois in any manner that would render such opinion incorrect. This opinion is rendered solely to you in connection with the above
matter. This opinion may not be relied upon by you for any other purpose or relied upon by any other Person (other than your successors and assigns as Lenders) without my prior written consent. Notwithstanding anything in this opinion letter to the
contrary, you may disclose this opinion (i) to prospective successors and assigns of the addressees hereof, (ii) to regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over any of the addressees hereof or their successors and assigns, and
(iii) pursuant to valid legal process, in each case without my prior consent.

 To the Lenders and 
 JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., 
     as Agent 
 270 Park Avenue 
 New York, NY 10017 
 Dear Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 I, S.R. Sullivan, am the Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary of Ameren Corporation and its subsidiaries, Central Illinois Public Service Company, an Illinois corporation, Central Illinois Light
Company, an Illinois corporation and Illinois Power Company, an Illinois corporation (collectively, the “Illinois Utility Borrowers”). I, or lawyers under my direction, have acted as counsel for the Illinois Utility Borrowers in
connection with the Credit Agreement dated as of June 30, 2009 (the “Credit Agreement”), among the Illinois Utility Borrowers, Ameren Corporation, a Missouri corporation, the lending institutions identified therein as Lenders,
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Agent, and Barclays Bank PLC as Syndication Agent. Terms defined in the Credit Agreement are used herein with the same meanings. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Illinois Utility Borrower, the term
“Loan Documents” as used herein shall mean the Credit Agreement, the Notes and the Collateral Documents to which such Illinois Utility Borrower is a party. 
 In rendering the opinion expressed below, I, or lawyers under my direction, have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to my satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records, certificates
of public officials and other instruments and have conducted such other investigations of fact and law as I have deemed necessary or advisable for purposes of this opinion. 
 In making the examinations described above, I have assumed without independent investigation the capacity of natural persons (other than the office held by each representative of the Illinois Utility Borrowers) as
reflected adjacent to such individual’s signature on the Loan Documents, the genuineness of all signatures (other than those of representatives of the Illinois Utility Borrowers appearing on Loan Documents), the authenticity of all documents
furnished to me as originals, the conformity to originals of all documents furnished to me as certified or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of such documents. In addition, I have assumed without independent investigation that
(i) the Loan Documents have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the parties thereto other than the Illinois Utility Borrowers, and constitute their valid, lawful and binding obligations and agreements, and (ii) there is no
separate agreement, undertaking, or course of dealing 








 
modifying, varying or waiving any of the terms of the Loan Documents. As to matters of fact not independently established by me relevant to the opinions set
forth herein, I have relied without independent investigation on the representations contained in the Loan Documents and in certificates of public officials and responsible representatives of each Illinois Utility Borrower furnished to me;
provided, however, that I advise that in the course of my representation of the Illinois Utility Borrowers, I obtained no information that leads me to believe that any such representation or certificate is untrue or misleading in any
material respect. 
 Upon the basis of and subject to the foregoing, I am of the opinion that: 
 Except for the Disclosed Matters, there is no litigation, arbitration, governmental investigation, proceeding or inquiry currently existing, or, to the best of my knowledge after due inquiry, pending or threatened
against or affecting any Illinois Utility Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, which, if determined adversely to such Illinois Utility Borrower or to its Subsidiaries, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect with respect to
such Illinois Utility Borrower or which seeks to prevent, enjoin or delay the making of any Loans or would adversely effect the legality, validity or enforceability of the Loan Documents or the ability of such Illinois Utility Borrower to perform
the transactions contemplated therein. 
 Neither any Illinois Utility Borrower nor any Subsidiary of any Illinois Utility Borrower is an “investment
company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. 
 No federal governmental consents, approvals, authorizations, registrations, declarations or filings are required in connection with the extensions of credit under the Credit Agreement or the performance by each
Illinois Utility Borrower of its obligations under the Loan Documents except for the order of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission dated March 21, 2008, with respect to Central Illinois Public Service Company and Central Illinois Light
Company, and the order of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission dated March 31, 2005, with respect to Illinois Power Company each of which is in full force and effect. The authorization under such March 21, 2008 order of the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission expires March 31, 2010. 
 I express no opinion as to the compliance or noncompliance, or the effect of the compliance or
noncompliance, of any addressee with any state or federal laws or regulations applicable to it by reason of its status as or affiliation with a federally insured depository institution. 
 I am a member of the Bar of the State of Missouri and the foregoing opinion is limited to the federal laws of the United States of America. This opinion is rendered solely to you in connection with the above matter.
This opinion may not be relied upon by you for any other purpose or relied upon by any other Person (other than your successors and assigns as Lenders) without my prior written consent. Notwithstanding anything in this opinion letter to the
contrary, you may disclose this opinion (i) to prospective successors and assigns of the addressees hereof, (ii) to regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over any of the addressees hereof or their successors and assigns, and

 To the
Lenders 
 and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., 
     as Agent 
 270 Park Avenue 
 New
York, NY 10017 
 Dear Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 I, Craig W.
Stensland, am an Associate General Counsel of Ameren Services Company, an affiliate that provides legal and other professional services to Central Illinois Public Service Company, an Illinois corporation, Central Illinois Light Company, an Illinois
corporation and Illinois Power Company, an Illinois corporation (collectively, the “Illinois Utility Borrowers”). I, or lawyers under my direction, have acted as counsel for the Illinois Utility Borrowers in connection with the
Credit Agreement dated as of June 30, 2009 (the “Credit Agreement”), among the Illinois Utility Borrowers, Ameren Corporation, a Missouri corporation, the lending institutions identified therein as Lenders, JPMorgan Chase Bank,
N.A., as Agent, and Barclays Bank PLC as Syndication Agent. Terms defined in the Credit Agreement are used herein with the same meanings. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Illinois Utility Borrower, the term “Loan
Documents” as used herein shall mean the Credit Agreement, the Notes and the Collateral Documents to which such Illinois Utility Borrower is a party. 
 In rendering the opinion expressed below, I, or lawyers under my direction, have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to my satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records, certificates of public officials and
other instruments and have conducted such other investigations of fact and law as I have deemed necessary or advisable for purposes of this opinion. 
 In
making the examinations described above, I have assumed without independent investigation the capacity of natural persons (other than the office held by each representative of the Illinois Utility Borrowers) as reflected adjacent to such
individual’s signature on the Loan Documents executed by such Illinois Utility Borrower, the genuineness of all signatures (other than those of representatives of the Illinois Utility Borrowers appearing on the Loan Documents), the authenticity
of all documents furnished to me as originals, the conformity to originals of all documents furnished to me as certified or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of such documents. In addition, I have assumed without 

  

 2 








 
independent investigation that (i) the Loan Documents have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the parties thereto other than the Illinois
Utility Borrowers, and constitute their valid, lawful and binding obligations and agreements, and (ii) there is no separate agreement, undertaking, or course of dealing modifying, varying or waiving any of the terms of the Loan Documents. As to
matters of fact not independently established by me relevant to the opinions set forth herein, I have relied without independent investigation on the representations contained in the Loan Documents and in certificates of public officials and
responsible representatives of each Illinois Utility Borrower furnished to me; provided, however, that I advise that in the course of my representation of the Illinois Utility Borrowers, I obtained no information that leads me to
believe that any such representation or certificate is untrue or misleading in any material respect. 
 Upon the basis of and subject to the foregoing, I am
of the opinion that: 
 5. Each of the Illinois Utility Borrowers and each of their Subsidiaries (other than any Project Finance Subsidiary or Non-Material
Subsidiary or an SPC) is a corporation, partnership (in the case of Subsidiaries only) or limited liability company duly and properly incorporated or organized, as the case may be, validly existing and (to the extent such concept applies to such
entity) in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization and has all requisite authority to conduct its business in each jurisdiction in which its business is conducted, other than the failure of any such Illinois
Utility Borrower to be qualified to transact business in any such jurisdiction to the extent such failure could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 6. Each Illinois Utility Borrower has the power and authority and legal right to execute and deliver the Loan Documents to which it is a party and to perform its obligations thereunder. The execution and delivery by
each Illinois Utility Borrower of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and the performance by each Illinois Utility Borrower of its obligations thereunder have been duly authorized by proper proceedings, and the Loan Documents to which such
Illinois Utility Borrower is a party constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of such Illinois Utility Borrower enforceable against such Illinois Utility Borrower in accordance with their terms, except (a) as enforceability may be
limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, or similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally; (ii) general equitable principles (whether considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law); and (iii) requirements of reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing, and (b) except that enforceability of the CIPS Indenture, the CILCO Indenture and the IP Indenture may be limited by the laws of the
State of Illinois affecting the remedies for the enforcement of the security provided for therein, which laws do not, in my opinion, make inadequate remedies necessary for the realization of the benefits of such security. 
  

 3 








 7. Neither the execution and delivery by each Illinois Utility Borrower of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, nor
the consummation of the transactions therein contemplated, nor compliance with the provisions thereof will violate (i) any law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree or award binding on such Illinois Utility Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries, or (ii) such Illinois Utility Borrower’s or any Subsidiary’s articles or certificate of incorporation, partnership agreement, certificate of partnership, articles or certificate of organization, by-laws, or
operating agreement or other management agreement, as the case may be, or (iii) the provisions of any indenture, material instrument or material agreement to which such Illinois Utility Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or is
subject, or by which it, or its Property, is bound, or conflict with, or constitute a default under, or result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien (other than the Liens contemplated by the Collateral Documents applicable to such
Illinois Utility Borrower) in, of or on the Property of such Illinois Utility Borrower or a Subsidiary pursuant to the terms of, any such indenture, instrument or agreement. No order, consent, adjudication, approval, license, authorization, or
validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, or exemption by, or other action in respect of any governmental or public body or authority, or any subdivision thereof, which has not been obtained by each Illinois Utility Borrower or any
of its Subsidiaries, is required to be obtained by such Illinois Utility Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, the borrowings and issuances of Letters of
Credit by or for the account of such Illinois Utility Borrower under the Credit Agreement, the payment and performance by such Illinois Utility Borrower of the Obligations or the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of any of the
Loan Documents with respect to such Illinois Utility Borrower. 
 8. Each Illinois Utility Borrower is a “public utility” as defined in the
Illinois Public Utilities Act. The Illinois Commerce Commission (“ICC”) has issued an order with respect to each Illinois Utility Borrower authorizing such Illinois Utility Borrower to issue and deliver the CIPS Credit Agreement
Bond, the CILCO Credit Agreement Bond and the IP Credit Agreement Bond (collectively, the “Utility Bonds”), respectively, as collateral for such Illinois Utility Borrower’s Obligations under the Credit Agreement. Such order of
the ICC is in full force and effect. No approval of the ICC is required for the Illinois Utility Borrowers to enter into the Credit Agreement and incur their respective Obligations thereunder. 
 9. Each of the Utility Bonds has been duly authorized, executed and issued by the respective issuer and, assuming due authentication thereof by the respective trustees
under the CIPS Indenture, the CILCO Indenture and the IP Indenture (collectively, the “Utility Indentures”), respectively, (a) constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the respective issuer, except (x) as
enforceability may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, (ii) general equitable principles (whether considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law) and (iii) requirements of reasonableness, good 

  

 4 








 
faith and fair dealing, and (y) except that enforceability of the CIPS Indenture, the CILCO Indenture and the IP Indenture may be limited by the laws of
the State of Illinois affecting the remedies for the enforcement of the security provided for therein, which laws do not, in my opinion, make inadequate remedies necessary for the realization of the benefits of such security, and (b) will be
entitled to the benefit of the security afforded by the respective Utility Indenture equally and ratably with all other mortgage bonds issued under such Utility Indenture. 
 10. The delivery to the Agent in the State of New York of the Utility Bonds in accordance with the CIPS Bond Delivery Agreement, the CILCO Bond Delivery Agreement and the IP Bond Delivery Agreement, respectively, is
effective to perfect the security interest in the Utility Bonds on the date of such delivery, except that enforceability of the CIPS Indenture, the CILCO Indenture and the IP Indenture may be limited by the laws of the State of Illinois affecting
the remedies for the enforcement of such security interest, which laws do not, in my opinion, make inadequate remedies necessary for the realization of the benefits of such security. 
 11. Each of the Illinois Utility Borrowers has good and sufficient title to all or substantially all its permanent fixed properties and the material franchises, permits and licenses now owned by it, except as may be
set out in the Disclosed Matters, and no notice has been given to any Illinois Utility Borrower by any governmental authority of any proceeding to condemn, purchase or otherwise acquire any material properties of such Illinois Utility Borrower and,
so far as I know, no such proceeding is contemplated. 
 12. The Utility Indentures (including the CIPS Supplemental Indenture, the CILCO Supplemental
Indenture and the IP Supplemental Indenture) have each been duly filed for recording and recorded in each county in the State of Illinois in which any permanent fixed property described in and conveyed by the respective Utility Indenture and now
owned by the Illinois Utility Borrower party to such Utility Indenture is located, and constitutes a legally valid and direct enforceable first mortgage lien (except as federal bankruptcy laws may affect the validity of the lien of such Utility
Indenture with respect to proceeds, products, rents, issues or profits of the property subject to such lien realized and additional property acquired within 90 days prior to and after the commencement of a case under such laws and except as
enforcement of provisions thereof may be limited by the laws of the State of Illinois affecting the remedies for the enforcement of the security provided for in such Utility Indenture, which laws do not, in my opinion, make such remedies inadequate
for realization of the benefits of such security, or limited by bankruptcy or insolvency laws of or other applicable laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by general principles of equity) upon substantially all of
such Illinois Utility Borrower’s fixed properties and franchises used or useful in its public utility businesses free from all prior or equal ranking liens, charges or encumbrances, subject only to permitted encumbrances and liens, as defined
in the respective Utility Indenture, and to the provisions contained in such Utility Indenture for the release, or substitution and release, of property from the lien thereof. In connection with the Utility Bonds, the “date of the
mortgage” for purposes of Illinois Compiled Statutes, Chapter 205, Section 5/5d is the date of the applicable Supplemental Indenture. 
  

 5 








 13. No recordation, registration or filing of any Utility Indenture or any supplemental indenture or instrument of
further assurance, other than such recordation referred to in opinion paragraph 8, is necessary in the State of Illinois to make effective the security interest intended to be created by the Utility Indentures with respect to the Utility Bonds
issued thereunder. 
 14. Substantially all physical properties and franchises used or useful in the Illinois Utility Borrowers’ respective public
utility businesses (other than those of the character not subject to the lien of the applicable Utility Indenture) now owned by each such Illinois Utility Borrower are subject to the lien of the applicable Utility Indenture, subject only to
permitted encumbrances and liens, as defined in the applicable Utility Indenture, and to the provisions contained in the applicable Utility Indenture for the release, or substitution and release, of property from the lien thereof. All physical
properties and franchises used or useful in the Illinois Utility Borrowers’ respective public utility businesses (other than those of the character not subject to the lien of the applicable Utility Indenture) hereafter acquired by such Illinois
Utility Borrower and situated in counties in the State of Illinois in which the applicable Utility Indenture shall be of record will, upon such acquisition, become subject to the lien of the applicable Utility Indenture, subject, however, to such
encumbrances and liens as are permitted thereby. 
 15. In a properly presented case, an Illinois court or a federal court applying Illinois choice of law
rules should give effect to the choice of law provisions of the Loan Documents and should hold that the Loan Documents are to be governed by the laws of the State of New York rather than the laws of the State of Illinois. In rendering the foregoing
opinion, I note that by their terms the Loan Documents expressly select New York law as the law governing its interpretation and that the Loan Documents were delivered to the Agent in New York. The choice of law provisions of the Loan Documents
are not voidable under the laws of the State of Illinois. Notwithstanding the foregoing, even if an Illinois court or a federal court holds that the Loan Documents are to be governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, each Loan Document
constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Illinois Utility Borrower thereto, enforceable under Illinois law (including usury provisions) against such Illinois Utility Borrower in accordance with its terms, except (a) as
enforceability may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, or similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally; (ii) general equitable principles (whether
considered in a proceeding in equity or at law); and (iii) requirements of reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing, and (b) except that enforceability of the CIPS Indenture, the CILCO Indenture and the IP Indenture may be limited by
the laws of the State of Illinois affecting the remedies for the enforcement of the security provided for therein, which laws do not, in my opinion, make inadequate remedies necessary for the realization of the benefits of such security. 

 

 6 








 I express no opinion as to the compliance or noncompliance, or the effect of the compliance or noncompliance, of any
addressee with any state or federal laws or regulations applicable to it by reason of its status as or affiliation with a federally insured depository institution. 
 I am a member of the Bar of the State of Illinois and the foregoing opinion is limited to the laws of the State of Illinois. I note that the Credit Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of New York and, for purposes of the opinion
expressed in opinion paragraphs 2, 5, 6 and 8 above, I have assumed that the laws of the State of New York do not differ from the laws of the State of Illinois in any manner that would render such opinion incorrect. This opinion is rendered solely
to you in connection with the above matter. This opinion may not be relied upon by you for any other purpose or relied upon by any other Person (other than your successors and assigns as Lenders) without my prior written consent. Notwithstanding
anything in this opinion letter to the contrary, you may disclose this opinion (i) to prospective successors and assigns of the addressees hereof, (ii) to regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over any of the addressees hereof or
their successors and assigns, and (iii) pursuant to valid legal process, in each case without my prior consent.

 This opinion is delivered as of the date hereof and I undertake no, and disclaim any, obligation to advise you of any
change in matters of law or fact set forth herein or upon which this opinion is based. 
  

	
	Very truly yours,

all payments and distributions of any kind or character (whether in cash, securities or property) which, except for the subordination provisions hereof, would have been payable or distributable to the obligee of such indebtedness (whether directly
or by reason of this note’s being superior to any other indebtedness), shall be made to and for

prevent or limit the holder of any Senior Debt from enforcing fully the subordination terms herein provided for, irrespective of any knowledge or notice which such holder may at any time have or be charged with. In the event that any payment or
distribution is made with respect to Subordinated Debt in violation of the terms of this Exhibit G or any outstanding Senior Debt, any holder of Subordinated Debt receiving such payment or distribution shall hold it in trust for the benefit of,

 Notwithstanding any provisions hereof or in the Indenture this Bond is not assignable or transferable except to a
successor Agent appointed in accordance with the Credit Agreement hereinafter referred to. 
 CENTRAL ILLINOIS LIGHT COMPANY 

First Mortgage Bond, 2009 Credit Agreement Series 
 Illinois Commerce Commission 
 Identification No.: Ill. C.C.
[            ] 
 Central Illinois Light Company, a corporation of the State of
Illinois (hereinafter called the “Company”), for value received, hereby promises to pay to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as agent (in such capacity, the “Agent”) for the Lenders (as defined below) under the 2009 Credit Agreement by
and among Ameren Corporation, the Company, Central Illinois Public Service Company and Illinois Power Company, as borrowers, the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”) and the Agent (as amended or otherwise modified from
time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), or registered assigns, the principal amount specified above or such lesser principal amount as shall be equal to the amount of the Borrower Credit Exposure (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of the
Company outstanding on the Commitment Termination Date (having at any time the meaning such term has at such time under the Credit Agreement) of the Company, but not in excess of the principal amount of this bond, and to pay interest thereon at the
Interest Rate (as defined below) until the principal hereof is paid or duly made available for payment on the Commitment Termination Date or in the event of redemption of this bond, until the redemption date. 
 Interest on this bond shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date (as defined below), commencing on the first Interest Payment Date next succeeding the date of this
bond. If the Commitment Termination Date falls on a day which is not a Business Day (as defined below), principal and any interest and/or fees payable with respect to the Commitment Termination Date will be paid on the next succeeding Business Day.
The interest payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, subject to certain exceptions provided in the Supplemental Indenture dated as of June 15, 2009, hereinafter referred to, be paid to the person in
whose name this bond (or one or more predecessor bonds) is registered at the close of business on the Record Date (as defined below); provided, however, that interest payable on the Commitment Termination Date will be payable to the person to whom
the principal hereof shall be payable. Should the Company default in the payment of interest (“Defaulted Interest”), the 

  

 -3- 








 
Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the person in whose name this bond is registered on the Record Date to be established by the Trustee for payment of such
Defaulted Interest. As used herein, (1) “Business Day” shall have the meaning assigned thereto in the Credit Agreement; (2) “Interest Payment Date” shall mean each date on which Company Obligations constituting interest
and/or fees are due and payable from time to time pursuant to the Credit Agreement; (3) “Interest Rate” shall mean a rate of interest per annum, adjusted as necessary, to result in an interest payment equal to the aggregate amount of
Company Obligations constituting interest and fees of the Company due under the Credit Agreement on the applicable Interest Payment Date; and (4) “Record Date” with respect to any Interest Payment Date shall mean the day (whether or
not a Business Day) immediately next preceding such Interest Payment Date. 
 Both the principal of and the interest on this bond shall be payable, in
immediately available funds, at the office of the Trustee hereinafter referred to. 
 This bond is to be issued and delivered to the Agent in order to
evidence and secure the obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement to make payments to the Lenders under the Credit Agreement and to provide the Lenders the benefit of the lien of the Indenture with respect to the 2009 Credit Agreement
Series Bonds. 
 The obligation of the Company to make payments with respect to principal under the Credit Agreement shall not give rise to
an obligation to pay principal of the 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds except on the Commitment Termination Date of the Company or upon redemption hereof. If at any time any permanent reduction of the Borrower Sublimit (as defined in the Credit
Agreement) of the Company or the Borrower Credit Exposure (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of the Company shall result in the principal of the 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds being greater than the greater of the Borrower Sublimit and the
Borrower Credit Exposure, a payment obligation with respect to the principal of the 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds in the amount of such excess shall be deemed discharged upon the effectiveness of such permanent reduction. No payment of
principal under the Credit Agreement shall reduce the principal amount of the 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds to an amount less than the greater of the Borrower Sublimit and the Borrower Credit Exposure. 
 The obligation of the Company to make payments with respect to the interest on this bond shall be fully or partially, as the case may be, satisfied and discharged to the
extent that, at the time that any such payment shall be due, the then due interest and/or fees of the Company under the Credit Agreement shall have been fully or partially paid. Satisfaction of any obligation to the extent that payment is made with
respect to the interest and/or fees of the Company under the Credit Agreement means that if any payment is made on the interest and/or fees of the Company under the Credit Agreement, a corresponding payment obligation with respect to the interest on
this bond shall be deemed discharged in the same amount as such payment made on the interest and/or fees of the Company under the Credit Agreement. 
 The
Trustee may at any time and all times conclusively assume that the obligation of the Company to make payments with respect to the principal of and interest on this bond, so far as such payments at the time have become due, has been fully satisfied
and discharged pursuant to the foregoing paragraphs unless and until the Trustee shall have received a written notice from the Agent stating (1) that timely payment of principal of or interest on this bond has not been made, (2) that the
Company is in arrears as to the payments required to be made by it to the Agent in connection with the Company Obligations pursuant to the Credit Agreement, and (3) the amount of the arrearage. 
  

 -4- 








 This bond is one of an issue of bonds of the Company, issuable in series, and is one of a series known as its First
Mortgage Bonds of the series designated in its title, all issued and to be issued under and equally secured (except as to any sinking fund established in accordance with the provisions of the Mortgage (defined below) for the bonds of any particular
series) by an Indenture of Mortgage and Deed of Trust dated as of April 1, 1933, executed by Illinois Power Company to Bankers Trust Company (predecessor of Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas) or its successor (hereinafter sometimes referred
to as the “Trustee”) as Trustee, as amended by Indenture dated as of June 30, 1933, as assumed by the Company and as amended and supplemented by Indentures between the Company and the Trustee bearing subsequent dates, including the
Indenture dated as of June 15, 2009 (all of which indentures are herein collectively called the “Mortgage”), to which reference is made for a description of the property mortgaged and pledged, the nature and extent of the security,
the rights of the holders of the bonds in respect thereof and the terms and conditions upon which the bonds are secured. 
 As more fully described in the
Indenture, the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the bondholders may be modified with the consent of the holders of not less than 60% in principal amount of the bonds adversely affected; provided, however, that no
modification shall (1) extend the time, or reduce the amount, of any payment on any bond, without the consent of the holder of each bond so affected, (2) permit the creation of any lien, not otherwise permitted, prior to or on a parity
with the lien of the Mortgage, without the consent of the holders of all bonds then outstanding, or (3) reduce the above percentage of the principal amount of bonds the holders of which are required to approve any such modification without the
consent of the holders of all bonds then outstanding. 
 The principal hereof may be declared or may become due on the conditions, with the effect, in the
manner and at the time set forth in the Mortgage, upon the occurrence of a completed default as in the Mortgage provided. 
 This bond is not redeemable
except upon written demand of the Agent following the occurrence of a Default by the Company under the Credit Agreement and the acceleration of the Company Obligations under the Credit Agreement. 
 In the manner and upon payment of the charges prescribed in the Mortgage, registered bonds without coupons of this series may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal
amount of fully registered bonds of other authorized denominations of the same series, upon presentation and surrender thereof, for cancellation, to the Trustee at its principal office in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, New York.

 This bond shall not be assignable or transferable except to a successor Agent appointed in accordance with the Credit Agreement. Subject to the
restriction on transfer of this bond hereinbefore set forth, this bond is transferable as prescribed in the Mortgage by the registered owner hereof in person, or by his duly authorized attorney, at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough
of Manhattan, The City of New York, New York, upon surrender and 

  

 -5- 








 
cancellation of this bond, and, thereupon, a new fully registered bond of the same series for a like principal amount will be issued to the transferee in
exchange therefor as provided in the Mortgage, and upon payment, if the Company shall require it, of the charges therein prescribed; provided, that the Company shall not be required to exchange any bonds of this series for a period of ten
(10) days next preceding an Interest Payment Date with respect to such bonds. 
 The Agent shall surrender this bond to the Trustee when each of the
Borrower Sublimit and the Borrower Credit Exposure of the Company have been reduced to zero and all fees and other amounts payable by the Company pursuant to the Credit Agreement with respect to the Company Obligations shall have been duly paid.

 No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or interest on this bond against any incorporator or any past, present or future subscriber
to the capital stock, stockholder, officer or director of the Company or of any predecessor or successor corporation, either directly or through the Company or any predecessor or successor corporation, under any rule of law, statute or constitution
or by the enforcement of any assessment or otherwise, all such liability of incorporators, subscribers, stockholders, officers and directors being released by the holder or owner hereof by the acceptance of this bond and being likewise waived and
released by the terms of the Mortgage. 
 This bond shall not become obligatory until Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, the Trustee under the Mortgage,
or its successor thereunder, shall have signed the form of certificate endorsed hereon. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Central Illinois Light Company has caused this
bond to be signed in its name by its President or a Vice President by a facsimile of his signature and a facsimile of its corporate seal to be printed hereon, attested by its Secretary or an Assistant Secretary by a facsimile of his signature.

 WHEREAS, all things necessary to make the bonds of the 2009 Credit Agreement Series, when authenticated by the Trustee and issued as in the Indenture provided, the valid, binding and legal obligations of the Company, entitled in all
respects to the security of the Indenture, have been done and performed, and the creation, execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture have in all respects been duly authorized; and 
 WHEREAS, the Company and the Trustee deem it advisable to enter into this Supplemental Indenture for the purpose of describing the bonds of the 2009 Credit Agreement
Series, and of providing the terms and conditions of redemption thereof; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE WITNESSETH: That Central Illinois
Light Company, in consideration of the premises and of one dollar to it duly paid by the Trustee at or before the unsealing and delivery of these presents, the receipt whereof is hereby acknowledged, and of the purchase and acceptance of the bonds
issued or to be issued hereunder by the holders or registered owners thereof, and in order to secure the payment both of the principal and interest of all bonds at any time issued and outstanding under the Indenture, according to their tenor and
effect, and the performance of all of the provisions of the Indenture and of said bonds, hath granted, bargained, sold, released, conveyed, assigned, transferred, pledged, set over and confirmed and by these presents doth grant, bargain, sell,
release, convey, assign, transfer, pledge, set over and confirm unto Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee, and to its successor or successors in said trust, and to it and their assigns forever, all the properties of the Company located

 And all other real, personal and mixed, tangible and intangible of the character described in the granting clauses of the aforesaid Indenture of Mortgage and Deed of Trust dated as of April 1, 1933 or in any indenture supplemental
thereto acquired by the Company on or after the date of the execution and delivery of said Indenture of Mortgage and Deed of Trust (except any in said Indenture of Mortgage and Deed of Trust or in any indenture supplemental thereto expressly
excepted) now owned or hereafter acquired by the Company and wheresoever situated. 
 Together with all and singular the tenements, hereditaments and

 -7- 








 To Have and to Hold all such properties, real, personal and mixed, mortgaged, pledged or conveyed by the Company as
aforesaid, or intended so to be, unto the Trustee and its successors and assigns forever. 
 In Trust, Nevertheless, upon the terms and trusts of the
Indenture, for those who shall hold the bonds and coupons issued and to be issued thereunder, or any of them, without preference, priority or distinction as to lien of any of said bonds and coupons over any others thereof by reason of priority in
the time of the issue or negotiation thereof, or otherwise howsoever, subject, however, to the provisions in reference to extended, transferred or pledged coupons and claims for interest set forth in the Indenture (and subject to any sinking funds
that may be created for the benefit of any particular series). 
 Provided, However, and these presents are upon the condition that, if the Company,
its successors or assigns, shall pay or cause to be paid, the principal of and interest on said bonds, at the times and in the manner stipulated therein and herein, and shall keep, perform and observe all and singular the covenants and promises in
said bonds and in the Indenture expressed to be kept, performed and observed by or on the part of the Company, then this Supplemental Indenture and the estate and rights hereby granted shall cease, determine and be void, otherwise to be and remain
in full force and effect. 
 It Is Hereby Covenanted, Declared and Agreed by the Company that all such bonds and coupons, if any, are to be issued,
authenticated and delivered, and that all property subject or to become subject hereto is to be held, subject to the further covenants, conditions, uses and trusts in the Indenture set forth, and the Company, for itself and its successors and
assigns, does hereby covenant and agree to and with the Trustee and its successor or successors in such trust, for the benefit of those who shall hold said bonds and interest coupons, or any of them, as follows: 
 Section 1. The bonds of the 2009 Credit Agreement Series shall mature, subject to prior acceleration and redemption, on the Commitment Termination Date
(having at any time the meaning such term has at such time under the Credit Agreement) of the Company, shall bear interest from their date as set forth in the form of bond hereinbefore set forth, and shall be designated as the Company’s First
Mortgage Bonds of the series hereinbefore set forth. Both principal of and interest on the bonds shall be payable in lawful money of the United States of America at the office of the Trustee hereinafter mentioned. Each bond of 2009 Credit Agreement
Series shall be dated as of the Interest Payment Date (as defined below) thereof to which interest was paid next preceding the date of issue, unless (a) issued on an Interest Payment Date thereof to which interest was paid, in which event it
shall be dated as of such issue date, or (b) issued prior to the occurrence of the first Interest Payment Date thereof to which interest was paid, in which event it shall be dated the date of original issuance. 
 Definitive bonds of the 2009 Credit Agreement Series will be issued, originally or otherwise, only as registered bonds without coupons in the name of the Agent as
evidence of and security for the Company Obligations under the Credit Agreement; and they and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the forms hereinbefore recited, respectively. 
  

 -8- 








 The bonds of the 2009 Credit Agreement Series shall not be assignable or transferable except to a successor Agent
appointed in accordance with the Credit Agreement. Subject to the restriction on transfer of the bonds of the 2009 Credit Agreement Series hereinbefore set forth, and in the manner and upon payment of the charges prescribed in the Indenture,
registered bonds without coupons of the 2009 Credit Agreement Series may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of fully registered bonds of other authorized denominations of the same series, upon presentation and surrender thereof for
cancellation, to the Trustee at its principal office in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, New York; provided, that the Company shall not be required to exchange any bonds of the 2009 Credit Agreement Series for a period of ten
(10) days next preceding an Interest Payment Date with respect to such bonds. However, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 14 of the Indenture, no charge shall be made upon any transfer or exchange of bonds of said series other than
for any tax or taxes or other governmental charge required to be paid by the Company. 
 Except as set forth herein, the bonds of the 2009 Credit Agreement
Series are not redeemable. Upon the occurrence of a Default by the Company under the Credit Agreement and the acceleration of the Company Obligations, the bonds of the 2009 Credit Agreement Series shall be redeemable in whole upon receipt by the
Trustee of a written demand from the Agent stating that there has occurred under the Credit Agreement both a Default by the Company and a declaration of acceleration of the Company Obligations and demanding redemption of the bonds of 2009 Credit
Agreement Series (including a description of the amount of principal, interest, fees cash collateralization obligations and other amounts which comprise such Company Obligations). The Company waives any right it may have to prior notice of such
redemption under the Indenture and any other notice required under the Indenture, including notice to be given by the Company, shall be deemed satisfied by the notice given by the Agent as aforesaid. Upon surrender of the bonds of the 2009 Credit
Agreement Series by the Agent to the Trustee, the bonds of 2009 Credit Agreement Series shall be redeemed at a redemption price equal to the aggregate amount of the Company Obligations. 
 Section 2. The principal amount of bonds of the 2009 Credit Agreement Series outstanding from time to time shall always be equal to $150,000,000 or such lesser principal amount as shall be equal to the
Borrower Credit Exposure (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of the Company on the Commitment Termination Date, but not in excess of $150,000,000. 
 The obligation of the Company to make payments with respect to principal under the Credit Agreement shall not give rise to an obligation to pay principal of the 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds except on the Commitment Termination Date of
the Company or upon redemption as provided in this Supplemental Indenture. If at any time any permanent reduction of the Borrower Sublimit of the Company or the Borrower Credit Exposure of the Company shall result in the principal of the 2009 Credit
Agreement Series Bonds being greater than the greater of the Borrower Sublimit and the Borrower Credit Exposure, a payment obligation with respect to the principal of the 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds in the amount of such excess shall be
deemed discharged upon the effectiveness of such permanent reduction. No payment of principal under the Credit Agreement shall reduce the principal amount of the 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds to an amount less than the greater of the Borrower
Sublimit and the Borrower Credit Exposure. 
  

 -9- 








 The obligation of the Company to make payments with respect to the interest on the bonds of 2009 Credit Agreement Series
shall be fully or partially, as the case may be, satisfied and discharged to the extent that, at the time that any such payment shall be due, the then due interest and/or fees of the Company under the Credit Agreement shall have been fully or
partially paid. Satisfaction of any obligation to the extent that payment is made with respect to the interest and/or fees of the Company under the Credit Agreement means that if any payment is made on the interest and/or fees of the Company under
the Credit Agreement, a corresponding payment obligation with respect to the interest on the bonds of 2009 Credit Agreement Series shall be deemed discharged in the same amount as such payment made on the interest and/or fees of the Company under
the Credit Agreement. 
 The Trustee may at any time and all times conclusively assume that the obligation of the Company to make payments with respect to
the principal of and interest on the bonds of 2009 Credit Agreement Series, so far as such payments at the time have become due, has been fully satisfied and discharged pursuant to the foregoing paragraphs unless and until the Trustee shall have
received a written notice from the Agent stating (a) that timely payment of principal of or interest on the bonds of 2009 Credit Agreement Series has not been made, (b) that the Company is in arrears as to the payments required to be made
by it to the Agent in connection with the Company Obligations pursuant to the Credit Agreement, and (c) the amount of the arrearage. 
 As used herein,
(A) “Business Day” shall have the meaning assigned thereto in the Credit Agreement; (B) “Interest Payment Date” shall mean each date on which Company Obligations constituting interest and/or fees are due and payable
from time to time pursuant to the Credit Agreement; (C) “Interest Rate” shall mean a rate of interest per annum, adjusted as necessary, to result in an interest payment equal to the aggregate amount of Company Obligations constituting
interest and fees of the Company due under the Credit Agreement on the applicable Interest Payment Date; and (D) “Record Date” with respect to any Interest Payment Date shall mean the day (whether or not a Business Day) immediately
next preceding such Interest Payment Date. 
 At any time that a bond of the 2009 Credit Agreement Series is surrendered to the Trustee other than in
connection with the redemption thereof, in connection with the Trustee’s enforcement of rights after a completed default under the Mortgage or in connection with the exchange of that bond as provided in Section 1 hereof, such bond shall be
cancelled by the Trustee and shall be treated for all intents and purposes as if it has never been issued. In the event that only a portion of a bond of the 2009 Credit Agreement Series is so surrendered, the Trustee shall deliver without charge to
the Agent a new bond of the 2009 Credit Agreement Series in an aggregate principal amount equal to the difference between the principal amount of the portion of the bond of the 2009 Credit Agreement Series so surrendered and the principal amount of
such bond prior to such surrender. 
 As provided in Section 8.4 of the Credit Agreement, the Agent shall surrender the bonds of 2009 Credit Agreement
Series to the Trustee for cancellation when each of the Borrower Sublimit and the Borrower Credit Exposure of the Company have been reduced to zero and all fees and other amounts payable by the Company pursuant to the Credit Agreement with respect
to the Company Obligations shall have been duly paid.

 Section 3. As supplemented and amended by this Supplemental Indenture, the Indenture is in all respects
ratified and confirmed, and this Supplemental Indenture and all the terms and conditions herein contained shall be deemed a part thereof. 
 Section 4. Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, no duties, responsibilities or liabilities are assumed, or shall be construed to be assumed, by the Trustee by reason of this Supplemental Indenture, other than as set
forth in the Indenture as heretofore amended and supplemented. The Trustee shall not be responsible for the recitals herein or in the bonds (other than in the authentication certificate of the Trustee), all of which are made by the Company solely.

 Section 5. This Supplemental Indenture may be executed in several counterparts, and all such counterparts executed and delivered, each as an
original, shall constitute but one and the same instrument. 
 Section 6. The Company acknowledges and intends that all advances made to it by
the Lenders under the Credit Agreement, including future advances whenever hereafter made, shall be a lien from the time this Supplemental Indenture is recorded, as provided in Section 15-1302(b)(1) of the Illinois Mortgage Foreclosure Law (the
“Act”), 735 ILCS 15-1101, et seq. The amount of the bonds of the 2009 Credit Agreement Series which comprises the principal amount then-outstanding of the Obligations under the Credit Agreement constitutes revolving credit indebtedness
secured by a mortgage on real property, pursuant to the terms and conditions of 205 ILCS 5/5d from the date of this Supplemental Indenture. 
 Section 7. The Company shall provide the Trustee with copies of the Credit Agreement and any amendments thereto as soon as practicable after such Credit Agreement or amendment is entered into and the Trustee in performing its
duties hereunder shall be entitled to rely on the latest copy of the Credit Agreement and any amendments thereto received from the Company. To the extent not identified in the Credit Agreement or amendment, as provided in the preceding sentence, the
Company will inform the Trustee of any change in the identity of the Agent and the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the notice or instructions received from the Agent pursuant to the Credit Agreement or amendment.

 CENTRAL ILLINOIS PUBLIC SERVICE COMPANY, an Illinois corporation (hereinafter referred to as the “Company”), for value received, hereby promises to pay to the Registered Owner specified above, as
administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Agent”) for the Lenders (as defined below) under the 2009 Credit Agreement by and among Ameren Corporation, the Company, Central Illinois Light Company and Illinois Power Company, as borrowers,
the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”) and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as agent (as amended or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), or registered assigns, the Principal

has at such time under the Credit Agreement) of the Company, but not in excess of the Principal Amount of this bond, and to pay interest thereon at the
Interest Rate (as defined below) until the principal hereof is paid or duly made available for payment on the Commitment Termination Date or in the event of redemption of this bond, until the redemption date. 
 Interest on this bond shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date (as defined below), commencing on the first Interest Payment Date next succeeding the date of this
bond. If the Commitment Termination Date falls on a day which is not a Business Day, as defined below, principal and any interest and/or fees payable with respect to the Commitment Termination Date will be paid on the next succeeding Business Day.
The interest payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, subject to certain exceptions provided in the Supplemental Indenture dated as of June 15, 2009, hereinafter referred to, be paid to the person in
whose name this bond (or one or more predecessor bonds) is registered at the close of business on the Record Date (as defined below); provided, however, that interest payable on the Commitment Termination Date will be payable to the person to
whom the principal hereof shall be payable. Should the Company default in the payment of interest (“Defaulted Interest”), the Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the person in whose name this bond is registered on the Record Date to
be established by the Trustee for payment of such Defaulted Interest. As used herein, (i) “Business Day” shall have the meaning assigned thereto in the Credit Agreement; (ii) “Interest Payment Date” shall
mean each date on which Company Obligations constituting interest and/or fees are due and payable from time to time pursuant to the Credit Agreement; (iii) “Interest Rate” shall mean a rate of interest per annum, adjusted as
necessary, to result in an interest payment equal to the aggregate amount of Company Obligations constituting interest and fees of the Company due under the Credit Agreement on the applicable Interest Payment Date; and (iv) “Record
Date” with respect to any Interest Payment Date shall mean the day (whether or not a Business Day) immediately next preceding such Interest Payment Date. 
 Both the principal of and the interest on this bond shall be payable in immediately available funds at the office or agency of the Trustee, 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. 
 This bond is one of the bonds issued and to be issued from time to time under and in accordance with and all secured by the
indenture of mortgage or deed of trust dated October 1, 1941, executed and delivered by the Company to U.S. Bank National Association (formerly U.S. Bank Trust National Association, formerly First Trust National Association, formerly First
Trust of Illinois, National Association, successor trustee to Bank of America Illinois, formerly Continental Bank, formerly Continental Bank, National Association and formerly Continental Illinois National Bank and Trust Company of Chicago and
hereinafter referred to as the “Trustee”) and Edmond B. Stofft, as Trustees, and the various indentures supplemental thereto, including the Supplemental Indenture pursuant to which $135,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the
First Mortgage Bonds, 2009 Credit Agreement Series (the “2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds”) are authorized, each executed and delivered by the Company to the Trustees under said indenture of mortgage or deed of trust dated
October 1, 1941, prior to the authentication of this bond (said indenture of mortgage or deed of trust and said supplemental indentures being hereinafter referred to, collectively, as the “Indenture”); and said U.S. Bank
National Association and Richard Prokosch, of the City of Oakdale, Washington County, State of Minnesota (successor Co-Trustee), being now the Trustees under the Indenture. Reference to 

  

 4 








 
the Indenture and to all supplemental indentures, if any, hereafter executed pursuant to the Indenture is hereby made for a description of the property
mortgaged and pledged, the nature and extent of the security and the rights of the holders and Registered Owners of said bonds and of the Trustees and of the Company in respect of such security. By the terms of the Indenture the bonds to be secured
thereby are issuable in series, which may vary as to date, amount, date of maturity, rate of interest, redemption provisions, medium of payment and in other respects as in the Indenture provided. 
 The 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds are to be issued and delivered to the Agent in order to evidence and secure the obligations of the Company under the Credit
Agreement to make payments to the Lenders under the Credit Agreement and to provide the Lenders the benefit of the lien of the Indenture with respect to the 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds. 
 The obligation of the Company to make payments with respect to principal under the Credit Agreement shall not give rise to an obligation to pay principal of the 2009
Credit Agreement Series Bonds except on the Commitment Termination Date of the Company or upon redemption hereof. If at any time any permanent reduction of the Borrower Sublimit (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of the Company or the Borrower
Credit Exposure (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of the Company shall result in the principal of the 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds being greater than the greater of the Borrower Sublimit and the Borrower Credit Exposure, a payment
obligation with respect to the principal of the 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds in the amount of such excess shall be deemed discharged upon the effectiveness of such permanent reduction. No payment of principal under the Credit Agreement shall
reduce the principal amount of the 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds to an amount less than the greater of the Borrower Sublimit and the Borrower Credit Exposure. 
 The obligation of the Company to make payments with respect to the interest on the 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds shall be fully or partially, as the case may be, satisfied and discharged to the extent that, at the time that any such
payment shall be due, the then due interest and/or fees of the Company under the Credit Agreement shall have been fully or partially paid. Satisfaction of any obligation to the extent that payment is made with respect to the interest and/or fees of
the Company under the Credit Agreement means that if any payment is made on the interest and/or fees of the Company under the Credit Agreement, a corresponding payment obligation with respect to the interest on the 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds
shall be deemed discharged in the same amount as such payment made on the interest and/or fees of the Company under the Credit Agreement. 
 The Trustee may
at any time and all times conclusively assume that the obligation of the Company to make payments with respect to the principal of and interest on the 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds, so far as such payments at the time have become due, has been
fully satisfied and discharged pursuant to the foregoing paragraphs unless and until the Trustee shall have received a written notice from the Agent stating (i) that timely payment of principal of or interest on the 2009 Credit Agreement Series
Bonds has not been made, (ii) that the Company is in arrears as to the payments required to be made by it to the Agent in connection with the Company Obligations pursuant to the Credit Agreement, and (iii) the amount of the arrearage.

  

 5 








 This bond is not redeemable except upon written demand of the Agent following the occurrence of a Default by the Company
under the Credit Agreement and the acceleration of the Company Obligations, as provided under the Credit Agreement. 
 In case of certain events of default
specified in the Indenture, the principal of this bond may be declared or may become due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or interest on this bond,
or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof or of the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, to or against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, past, present or future, of the Company, or of any predecessor
or successor corporation, either directly or through the Company, or such predecessor or successor corporation, under any constitution or statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment, penalty or otherwise, all such liability of
incorporators, stockholders, directors and officers being waived and released by the Registered Owner hereof by the acceptance of this bond and being likewise waived and released by the terms of the Indenture. 
 This bond shall not be assignable or transferable except to a successor Agent appointed in accordance with the Credit Agreement. This bond is exchangeable by the
Registered Owner hereof, in person or by attorney duly authorized, at the principal office or place of business of the Trustee under the Indenture, upon the surrender and cancellation of this bond and the payment of any stamp tax or other
governmental charge, and upon any such exchange a new registered bond or bonds without coupons, of the same series and maturity and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued in exchange heretofore; provided, that the Company
shall not be required to exchange any bonds of 2009 Credit Agreement Series for a period of ten (10) days next preceding an Interest Payment Date with respect to such bonds. 
 The Agent shall surrender this bond to the Trustee when each of the Borrower Sublimit and the Borrower Credit Exposure have been reduced to zero and all fees and other amounts payable by the Company pursuant to the
Credit Agreement with respect to the Company Obligations shall have been duly paid. 
 This bond shall not be valid or become obligatory for any purpose
unless and until it shall have been authenticated by the execution by the Trustee or its successor in trust under the Indenture of the Trustee’s Certificate endorsed hereon.

and leaseholds, franchises, permits, rights and powers, of every kind and description, real and personal, which have been acquired by the Company through
construction, purchase, consolidation or merger, or otherwise, subsequent to January 1, 2006, and which are owned by the Company at the date of the execution hereof, together with the rents, issues, products and profits therefrom, excepting,
however, and there is hereby expressly reserved and excluded from the lien and effect of the Indenture and of this supplemental indenture, all right, title and interest of the Company, now owned, in and to (a) all cash, bonds, shares of stock,
obligations and other securities not deposited with the Trustee or Trustees under the Indenture, and (b) all accounts and bills receivable, judgments (other than for the recovery of real property or establishing a lien or charge thereon or
right therein) and chooses in action not specifically assigned to and pledged with the Trustee or Trustees under the Indenture, and (c) all personal property acquired or manufactured by the Company for sale, lease, rental or consumption in the
ordinary course of business, and (d) the last day of each of the demised terms created by any lease of property leased to the Company and under each and every renewal of any such lease, the last day of each and every such demised term being
hereby expressly reserved to and by the Company, and (e) all gas, oil and other minerals now or hereafter existing upon, within or under any real estate of the Company subject to, or hereby subjected to, the lien of the Indenture. 

And upon the considerations and for the purposes aforesaid, and in order to provide, pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, for the issuance under the Indenture, as
hereby amended, of bonds of 2009 Credit Agreement Series and to fix the terms, provisions and characteristics of the bonds of 2009 Credit Agreement Series, and to modify or amend the Indenture in the particulars and to the extent hereinafter in this
supplemental indenture specifically provided, the Company hereby covenants and agrees with the Trustees as follows: 
 A series of bonds
issuable under the Indenture, as hereby amended, to be known and designated as “First Mortgage Bonds, 2009 Credit Agreement Series” and which shall be executed, authenticated and issued only in the form of registered bonds without
coupons, is hereby created and authorized. The bonds of 2009 Credit Agreement Series and the Trustee’s Certificate to be endorsed thereon shall be substantially in the form thereof hereinbefore recited (the “Bond Form”). Each
bond of 2009 Credit Agreement Series is to be issued and registered in the name of the Agent under the Credit Agreement to evidence and secure any and all Obligations (as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement) of the Company (the
“Company Obligations”) under the Credit Agreement. Each bond of 2009 Credit Agreement Series shall be dated as of the Interest Payment Date (as defined below) thereof to which interest was paid next preceding the date of issue,
unless (a) issued on an Interest Payment Date thereof to which interest was paid, in which event it shall be dated as of such issue date, or (b) issued prior to the occurrence of the first Interest Payment Date thereof to which interest
was paid, in which event it shall be dated the date of original issuance. 
 The bonds of 2009 Credit Agreement Series shall be issued in the aggregate
principal amount of $135,000,000 and shall mature on the Commitment Termination Date (having at any time the meaning such term has at such time under the Credit Agreement) of the Company. The principal amount of bonds of 2009 Credit Agreement Series
outstanding from time to time shall always be equal to $135,000,000 or such less principal amount as shall be equal to the Borrower Credit Exposure (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of the Company on the Commitment Termination Date, but not in
excess of $135,000,000 
  

 8 








 The bonds of 2009 Credit Agreement Series shall bear interest from their date as set forth in the Bond Form. Interest on
the bonds of 2009 Credit Agreement Series shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date (as defined below), commencing on the first Interest Payment Date next succeeding the date of the bonds of 2009 Credit Agreement Series. If the Commitment
Termination Date falls on a day which is not a Business Day, as defined below, principal and any interest and/or fees payable by the Company with respect to the Commitment Termination Date will be paid on the next succeeding Business Day.

 Both the principal of and the interest on the bonds of 2009 Credit Agreement Series shall be payable at the times and in the manner set forth in the form
of bond set out herein and in immediately available funds at the office or agency of the Trustee, 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. 
 Anything contained in Section 14 of Article I of the Indenture, or elsewhere in the Indenture, to the contrary notwithstanding, only the person in
whose name bonds of 2009 Credit Agreement Series are registered (the “Registered Owner”) at the close of business on the Record Date (as defined below) 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 bonds upon any transfer or exchange subsequent to the Record Date and prior to such Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that if and to the extent
the Company shall default in the payment of the interest due on such Interest Payment Date, such defaulted interest shall be paid to the persons in whose names outstanding bonds of 2009 Credit Agreement Series are registered on the Record Date to be
established by the Trustee for payment of such defaulted interest. 
 The obligation of the Company to make payments with respect to
principal under the Credit Agreement shall not give rise to an obligation to pay principal of the 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds except on the Commitment Termination Date of the Company or upon redemption as provided in this Supplemental
Indenture. If at any time any permanent reduction of the Borrower Sublimit (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of the Company or the Borrower Credit Exposure of the Company shall result in the principal of the 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds
being greater than the greater of the Borrower Sublimit and the Borrower Credit Exposure, a payment obligation with respect to the principal of the 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds in the amount of such excess shall be deemed discharged upon the
effectiveness of such permanent reduction. No payment of principal under the Credit Agreement shall reduce the principal amount of the 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds to an amount less than the greater of the Borrower Sublimit and the Borrower
Credit Exposure. 
 The obligation of the Company to make payments with respect to the interest on the bonds of 2009 Credit Agreement Series shall be fully
or partially, as the case may be, satisfied and discharged to the extent that, at the time that any such payment shall be due, the then due interest and/or fees of the Company under the Credit Agreement shall have been fully or partially paid.
Satisfaction of any obligation to the extent that payment is made with respect to the interest and/or fees of the Company under the Credit Agreement means that if any payment is made on 

  

 9 








 
the interest and/or fees of the Company under the Credit Agreement, a corresponding payment obligation with respect to the interest on the bonds of 2009
Credit Agreement Series shall be deemed discharged in the same amount as such payment made on the interest and/or fees of the Company under the Credit Agreement. 
 The Trustee may at any time and all times conclusively assume that the obligation of the Company to make payments with respect to the principal of and interest on the bonds of 2009 Credit Agreement Series, so far as such payments at the
time have become due, has been fully satisfied and discharged pursuant to the foregoing paragraphs unless and until the Trustee shall have received a written notice from the Agent stating (a) that timely payment of principal of or interest on
the bonds of 2009 Credit Agreement Series has not been made, (b) that the Company is in arrears as to the payments required to be made by it to the Agent in connection with the Company Obligations pursuant to the Credit Agreement, and
(c) the amount of the arrearage. 
 As used herein, (a) “Business Day” shall have the meaning assigned thereto in
the Credit Agreement; (b) “Interest Payment Date” shall mean each date on which Company Obligations constituting interest and/or fees are due and payable from time to time pursuant to the Credit Agreement;
(c) “Interest Rate” shall mean a rate of interest per annum, adjusted as necessary, to result in an interest payment equal to the aggregate amount of Company Obligations constituting interest and fees of the Company due under
the Credit Agreement on the applicable Interest Payment Date; and (d) “Record Date” with respect to any Interest Payment Date shall mean the day (whether or not a Business Day) immediately next preceding such Interest Payment
Date.

Company under the Credit Agreement and the acceleration of the Company Obligations, the bonds of 2009 Credit Agreement Series shall be redeemable in whole upon receipt by the Trustee of a written demand from the Agent stating that there has occurred
under the Credit Agreement both a Default by the Company and a declaration of acceleration of the Company Obligations and demanding redemption of the bonds of 2009 Credit Agreement Series (including a description of the amount of principal,
interest, fees, cash collateralization obligations and other amounts which comprise such Company Obligations). The Company waives any right it may have to prior notice of such redemption under the Indenture and any other notice required under the

Agreement Series shall be redeemed at a redemption price equal to the aggregate amount of the Company Obligations. 
 The bonds of 2009
Credit Agreement Series shall not be assignable or transferable except to a successor Agent appointed in accordance with the Credit Agreement. The bonds of 2009 Credit Agreement Series are exchangeable by the Registered Owner thereof, in person or
by attorney duly authorized, at the principal office or place of business of the Trustee under the Indenture, upon the surrender and cancellation of said bonds and the payment of any stamp tax or other governmental charge, and upon any such exchange
a new registered bond or bonds without coupons, of the same series and maturity and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued in exchange theretofore; provided, that the Company shall not be required to exchange any bonds of 2009
Credit Agreement Series for a period of ten (10) days next preceding an Interest Payment Date with respect to such bonds.

 -4- 








 WHEREAS, all conditions and requirements necessary to make this Supplemental Indenture a valid, binding
and legal instrument have been done, performed and fulfilled and the execution and delivery hereof have been in all respects duly authorized; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE 
 WITNESSETH: 
 THAT Illinois Power Company, in consideration of the purchase and ownership from time to time of the Bonds and the service by the Trustee, and its
successors, under the Indenture and of One Dollar to it duly paid by the Trustee at or before the ensealing and delivery of these presents, the receipt whereof is hereby acknowledged, hereby covenants and agrees to and with the Trustee and its
successors in the trust under the Indenture, for the benefit of those who shall hold the Bonds as follows: 
 DESCRIPTION OF 2009 Credit
Agreement Series Bonds. 
 The Company hereby creates a new series of Bonds to be known as “2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds.”
The 2009 Credit Agreement Series 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 Indenture, as amended and
supplemented. The 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds shall be issued only to and in the name of the Agent under the Credit Agreement to evidence and secure any and all Company Obligations under the Credit Agreement. 
 The 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds shall be dated as of the Interest Payment Date (as defined below) thereof to which interest was paid next
preceding the date of issue, unless (a) issued on an Interest Payment Date thereof to which interest was paid, in which event it shall be dated as of such issue date, or (b) issued prior to the occurrence of the first Interest Payment Date
thereof to which interest was paid, in which event it shall be dated the date of original issuance. 
 The 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds
shall be issued in the aggregate principal amount of $350,000,000 and shall mature on the Commitment Termination Date (having at any time the meaning such term has at such time under the Credit Agreement) applicable to the Company. 
 The 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds shall bear interest from their date as set forth in the form thereof hereinafter recited. Interest on the 2009
Credit Agreement Series Bonds shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date (defined below), commencing on the first Interest Payment Date next succeeding the date of the 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds. Payment of principal on the 2009 Credit
Agreement Series Bonds shall be due on the 

  

 -5- 








 
Commitment Termination Date. If the Commitment Termination Date falls on a day which is not a Business Day (as defined below), principal and any interest
and/or fees payable by the Company with respect to the Commitment Termination Date will be paid on the next succeeding Business Day. 
 Both
the principal of and the interest on the 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds shall be payable at the times and in the manner set forth in the form of bond set out herein and in immediately available funds at the office or agency of the Trustee, 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. 
 The
obligation of the Company to make payments with respect to principal under the Credit Agreement shall not give rise to an obligation to pay principal of the 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds except on the Commitment Termination Date of the Company
or upon redemption as provided in this Supplemental Indenture. If at any time any permanent reduction of the Borrower Sublimit (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of the Company or the Borrower Credit Exposure (as defined in the Credit Agreement)
of the Company shall result in the principal of the 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds being greater than the greater of the Borrower Sublimit and the Borrower Credit Exposure, a payment obligation with respect to the principal of the 2009 Credit
Agreement Series Bonds in the amount of such excess shall be deemed discharged upon the effectiveness of such permanent reduction. No payment of principal under the Credit Agreement shall reduce the principal amount of the 2009 Credit Agreement
Series Bonds to an amount less than the greater of the Borrower Sublimit and the Borrower Credit Exposure. 
 The obligation of the Company
to make payments with respect to the interest on the 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds shall be fully or partially, as the case may be, satisfied and discharged to the extent that, at the time that any such payment shall be due, the then due
interest and/or fees of the Company under the Credit Agreement shall have been fully or partially paid. Satisfaction of any obligation to the extent that payment is made with respect to the interest and/or fees of the Company under the Credit
Agreement means that if any payment is made on the interest and/or fees of the Company under the Credit Agreement, a corresponding payment obligation with respect to the interest on the 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds shall be deemed discharged
in the same amount as such payment made on the interest and/or fees of the Company under the Credit Agreement. 
 The Trustee may at any time
and all times conclusively assume that the obligation of the Company to make payments with respect to the principal of and interest on the 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds, so far as such payments at the time have become due, has been fully
satisfied and discharged pursuant to the foregoing paragraphs unless and until the Trustee shall have received a written notice from the Agent stating (a) that timely payment of principal of or interest on the 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds
has not been made, (b) that the Company is in arrears as to the payments required to be made by it to the Agent in connection with the Company Obligations pursuant to the Credit Agreement, and (c) the amount of the arrearage. 

 

 -6- 








 As used herein, (A) “Business Day” shall have the meaning assigned thereto in the Credit
Agreement; (B) “Interest Payment Date” shall mean each date on which Company Obligations constituting interest and/or fees are due and payable from time to time pursuant to the Credit Agreement; (C) “Interest Rate”
shall mean a rate of interest per annum, adjusted as necessary, to result in an interest payment equal to the aggregate amount of Company Obligations constituting interest and fees of the Company due under the Credit Agreement on the applicable
Interest Payment Date; and (D) “Record Date” with respect to any Interest Payment Date shall mean the day (whether or not a Business Day) immediately next preceding such Interest Payment Date. 
 The 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds shall not be assignable or transferable except to a successor Agent appointed in accordance with the Credit
Agreement. The 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds are exchangeable by the Registered Owner thereof, in person or by attorney duly authorized, at the principal office or place of business of the Trustee under the Indenture, upon the surrender and
cancellation of said bonds and the payment of any stamp tax or other governmental charge, and upon any such exchange a new registered bond or bonds without coupons, of the same series and maturity and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be
issued in exchange theretofore; provided, that the Company shall not be required to exchange any 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds for a period of ten (10) days next preceding an Interest Payment Date with respect to such bonds.

 As provided in Section 8.4 of the Credit Agreement, the Agent shall surrender the 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds to the Trustee
for cancellation when each of the Borrower Sublimit and the Borrower Credit Exposure of the Company have been reduced to zero and all fees and other amounts payable by the Company pursuant to the Credit Agreement with respect to the Company
Obligations shall have been duly paid. 
 The 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds and the Trustee’s Certificate of Authentication shall
be substantially in the following forms respectively:

with respect to the Commitment Termination Date will be paid on the next succeeding Business Day. The interest payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, subject to certain exceptions provided in the

however, that interest payable on the Commitment Termination Date will be payable to the person to whom the principal hereof shall be payable. Should the Company default in the payment of interest (“Defaulted Interest”), the Defaulted
Interest shall be paid to the person in whose name this Bond is registered on the Record Date to be established by the Trustee for payment of such Defaulted Interest. 
 As used herein, (i) “Business Day” shall have the meaning assigned thereto in the Credit Agreement; (ii) “Interest Payment Date” shall mean each date on which Company Obligations
constituting interest and/or fees are due and payable from time to time pursuant to the Credit Agreement; (iii) “Interest Rate” shall mean a rate of interest per annum, adjusted as necessary, to result in an interest payment equal to
the aggregate amount of Company Obligations constituting interest and fees of the Company due under the Credit Agreement on the applicable Interest Payment Date; and (iv) “Record Date” with respect to any Interest Payment Date shall
mean the day (whether or not a Business Day) immediately next preceding such Interest Payment Date. 
 Both the principal of and the interest
on this Bond shall be payable in immediately available funds at the office or agency of the Trustee, 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. 
 This Bond is to be issued and delivered to the Agent in order to evidence and secure the obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement to make
payments to the Lenders under the Credit Agreement and to provide the Lenders the benefit of the lien of the Indenture with respect to the 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds.

 The obligation of the Company to make payments with respect to principal under the Credit Agreement shall
not give rise to an obligation to pay principal of the 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds except on the Commitment Termination Date of the Company or upon redemption hereof. If at any time any permanent reduction of the Borrower Sublimit (as defined
in the Credit Agreement) of the Company or the Borrower Credit Exposure (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of the Company shall result in the principal of the 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds being greater than the greater of the Borrower
Sublimit and the Borrower Credit Exposure, a payment obligation with respect to the principal of the 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds in the amount of such excess shall be deemed discharged upon the effectiveness of such permanent reduction. No
payment of principal under the Credit Agreement shall reduce the principal amount of the 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds to an amount less than the greater of the Borrower Sublimit and the Borrower Credit Exposure. 
 The obligation of the Company to make payments with respect to the interest on this Bond shall be fully or partially, as the case may be, satisfied and
discharged to the extent that, at the time that any such payment shall be due, the then due interest and/or fees of the Company under the Credit Agreement shall have been fully or partially paid. Satisfaction of any obligation to the extent that
payment is made with respect to the interest and/or fees of the Company under the Credit Agreement means that if any payment is made on the interest and/or fees of the Company under the Credit Agreement, a corresponding payment obligation with
respect to the interest on this Bond shall be deemed discharged in the same amount as such payment made on the interest and/or fees of the Company under the Credit Agreement. 
 The Trustee may at any time and all times conclusively assume that the obligation of the Company to make payments with respect to the principal of and
interest on this Bond, so far as such payments at the time have become due, has been fully satisfied and discharged pursuant to the foregoing paragraphs unless and until the Trustee shall have received a written notice from the Agent stating
(i) that timely payment of principal of or interest on this Bond has not been made, (ii) that the Company is in arrears as to the payments required to be made by it to the Agent in connection with the Company Obligations pursuant to the
Credit Agreement, and (iii) the amount of the arrearage. 
 The Agent shall surrender this Bond to the Trustee when each of the Borrower
Sublimit and the Borrower Credit Exposure of the Company have been reduced to zero and all fees and other amounts payable by the Company pursuant to the Credit Agreement with respect to the Company Obligations shall have been duly paid. 

This Bond shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, or become valid or obligatory for any
purpose, until the form of certificate endorsed hereon shall have been signed by or on behalf of The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., formerly BNY Midwest Trust Company, as successor trustee to Harris Trust and Savings Bank, the Trustee
under the Indenture, or a successor trustee thereto under the Indenture (the “Trustee”).

(the “Indenture”), dated as of November 1, 1992, executed by the Company to The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., formerly BNY
Midwest Trust Company, as successor trustee to Harris Trust and Savings Bank (the “Trustee”), to which 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 registered owners of the Bonds and of the Trustee in respect thereof, and the terms and conditions upon which the Bonds are, and are to be, secured. The Bonds may be issued in series, for various

“Supplemental Indenture of June 15, 2009”), between the Company and the Trustee, supplemental to the Indenture. 
 This 2009
Credit Agreement Series Bond is not redeemable except upon written demand of the Agent following the occurrence of a Default by the Company under the Credit Agreement and the acceleration of the Company Obligations, as provided under the Credit
Agreement. 
 In case an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, shall occur, the principal of all Bonds at any such time outstanding
under the Indenture may be declared or may become due and payable, upon the conditions and in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. The Indenture provides that such declaration may be rescinded under certain circumstances.

 REDEMPTION. 
 Except as set
forth herein, the 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds are not redeemable. Upon the occurrence of a Default by the Company under the Credit Agreement and the acceleration of the Company Obligations, the 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds shall be
redeemable in whole upon receipt by the Trustee of a written demand from the Agent stating that there has occurred under the Credit Agreement both a Default by the Company and a declaration of acceleration of the Company Obligations and demanding
redemption of the 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds (including a description of the amount of principal, interest, fees cash collateralization obligations and other amounts which comprise such Company Obligations). The Company waives any right it
may have to prior notice of such redemption under the Indenture and any other notice required under the Indenture, including notice to be given by the Company, shall be deemed satisfied by the notice given by the Agent as aforesaid. Upon surrender
of the 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds by the Agent to the Trustee, the 2009 Credit Agreement Series Bonds shall be redeemed at a redemption price equal to the aggregate amount of the Company Obligations.
