        dated November 21, 2006 (the "Underwriting Agreement"), among CMSI, Citigroup

      Purchase
        Price.
        The
        purchase price (the "Purchase Price") for the mortgage loans shall consist
        of
        (a) cash in the amount of ___________% of the aggregate scheduled principal
        balance thereof as of the cut-off date, plus accrued interest thereon at
        the
        rate of 6.00% per annum on the mortgage loans in pool I and 5.50% per annum
        on
        the mortgage loans in pool II, from and including the cut-off date to but

        certificates and (b) the class LR and class PR certificates evidencing the
        residual interests in the lower-tier REMIC and the pooling REMIC, respectively.
        If CMSI for any reason shall repay to the Underwriter any portion of the
        price
        paid to CMSI by the Underwriter pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the
        Seller shall simultaneously and in the same manner repay to CMSI a proportionate
        amount of the Purchase Price as such repayment to the Underwriter.

      

      Upon
        payment of the Purchase Price, the Seller shall transfer, assign, set over
        and
        otherwise convey to CMSI without recourse all of the Seller's right, title
        and
        interest in and to the mortgage loans, including all interest and principal
        received or receivable by the Seller on or with respect to the mortgage loans
        (other than payments of principal and interest due and payable on the mortgage
        loans on or before the cut-off date and prepayments of principal on the mortgage
        loans received or posted prior to the close of business on the cut-off date),
        together with all of the Seller's right, title and interest in and to the
        proceeds of any related title, hazard or other insurance policies and Primary

        the
        Trustee under the Pooling Agreement and such other documents, instruments
        and
        agreements as CMSI shall reasonably request. CMSI hereby directs the Seller
        to
        execute and deliver to the Trustee assignments of the Mortgages to the Trustee
        (and endorsements of any Mortgage Notes relating thereto) in recordable form.
        Such assignments and endorsements shall not affect the rights of the parties
        hereto or to the Pooling Agreement.

        to
        the mortgage loans are true and correct and (ii) that the Seller has not
        dealt
        with any broker, investment banker, agent or other person (other than CMSI
        and
        the Underwriter) who may be entitled to any commission or compensation in
        connection with the sale of the related mortgage loans. The Seller hereby
        agrees
        to cure any breach of such representations and warranties in accordance with
        the
        terms of the Pooling Agreement.

      

      2. Underwriting.
        The
        Seller hereby agrees to furnish any and all information, documents,

        to
        be performed or satisfied at or prior to the closing date.

      

      3. Costs.

        the cost of delivering the certificates to the offices of The Depository
        Trust
        Company or the Underwriter, as the case may be.

      

      4. Indemnification.
        The
        Seller hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless CMSI against
        any and
        all losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) resulting from the Seller's
        failure to perform any of its obligations hereunder, (ii) resulting from
        the
        inaccuracy of the Seller's representations and warranties herein or of CMSI's
        representations and warranties in the Pooling Agreement or (iii) insofar
        as such
        losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or demands for reimbursement

        Agreement.

      

      5. Purchase
        and Sale; Security Interest.

        right,
        title and interest in and to the mortgage loans pursuant to this Agreement
        to
        constitute a purchase and sale and not a loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
        to
        the extent that such conveyance is held not to constitute a sale under
        applicable law, it is intended that this Agreement shall constitute a security
        agreement under applicable law and that the Seller shall be deemed to have
        granted to CMSI a first priority security interest in all of the Seller's
        right,
        title and interest in and to the mortgage loans.

      

      6. Notices.
        All
        demands, notices and communications hereunder shall be in writing, shall

        at
        1000 Technology Drive, O’Fallon, Missouri 63368, Attn: Daniel P. Hoffman or if
        sent to Seller be addressed to it at 1000 Technology Drive, O’Fallon, Missouri
        63368, Attn: General Counsel.

      

      7. Trustee
        Beneficiary.
        The
        representations and agreements made by the Seller in this Agreement are made
        for
        the benefit of, and may be enforced by, the Trustee, and the holders of
        certificates to the same extent that the Trustee and the holders of
        certificates, respectively, have rights against CMSI under the Pooling Agreement
        in respect of representations and agreements made by CMSI
        therein.

        The
        Seller, by executing this Agreement below, hereby acknowledges receipt of

        This
        Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws
        of the
        State of New York. Neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be changed,
        waived, discharged or terminated except by a writing signed by the party
        against
        whom enforcement of such change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought.
        This Agreement may not be changed in any manner which would have a material
        adverse affect on holders of any class of certificates without the prior
        written
        consent of the Trustee. The Trustee shall be protected in consenting to any
        such
        change to the same extent provided in section 10 of the Pooling Agreement.
        This
        Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall
        be
        deemed an original, which taken together shall constitute one and the same
        instrument. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be
        enforceable by CMSI and the Seller and their respective successors and assigns;
        provided,
        however,
        that
        this Agreement cannot be assigned by either party without the consent of
        the
        other party hereto, and any assignment hereof without such consent shall
        be

      ELECTRIC POWER COMPANY, a corporation duly organized and existing under the
      laws
      of the State of Delaware (the "Company"), and THE BANK OF NEW YORK, a New York
      banking corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of New
      York, as Trustee under the Original Indenture referred to below (the "Trustee").
      

    

    RECITALS
      OF THE COMPANY

    

    The
      Company has heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee an indenture dated
      as of February 25, 2000 (the "Original Indenture"), to provide for the issuance
      from time to time of its debentures, notes or other evidences of indebtedness
      (the "Senior Notes"), the form and terms of which are to be established as
      set
      forth in Section 201 and 301 of the Original Indenture.

    

    Section
      901 of the Original Indenture provides, among other things, that the Company
      and
      the Trustee may enter into indentures supplemental to the Original Indenture
      for, among other things, the purpose of establishing the form and terms of
      the
      Senior Notes of any Series as permitted in Sections 201 and 301 of the Original
      Indenture.

    

    The
      Company has issued $150,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its Floating
      Rate
      Notes, due 2002 pursuant to the Original Indenture and the First Supplemental
      Indenture, dated February 25, 2000; $200,000,000 aggregate principal amount
      of

      Indenture, dated as of June 26, 2002; $100,000,000 aggregate principal amount
      of
      its 5.375% Senior Notes, Series C, due 2015 pursuant to the Original Indenture
      and the Third Supplemental Indenture, dated April 11, 2003; and $150,000,000
      aggregate principal amount of its 4.90% Senior Notes, Series D, due 2015
      pursuant to the Original Indenture and the Fourth Supplemental Indenture, dated
      June 28, 2005.

    

    The
      Company desires to create a Series of the Senior Notes in an aggregate principal
      amount of $250,000,000 to be designated the "5.55% Senior Notes, Series E,
      due
      2017" (the "5.55% Senior Notes"), and all action on the part of the Company
      necessary to authorize the issuance of the 5.55% Senior Notes under the Original
      Indenture and this Fifth Supplemental Indenture has been duly
      taken.

    

    All
      acts
      and things necessary to make the 5.55% Senior Notes, when executed by the
      Company and completed, authenticated and delivered by the Trustee as provided
      in
      the Original Indenture and this Fifth Supplemental Indenture, the valid and
      binding obligations of the Company and to constitute these presents a valid
      and
      binding supplemental indenture and agreement according to its terms, have been
      done and performed.

    

    NOW,
      THEREFORE, THIS FIFTH SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE WITNESSETH:

    

    That
      in
      consideration of the premises and of the acceptance and purchase of the 5.55%
      Senior Notes by the Holders thereof and of the acceptance of this trust by
      the
      Trustee, the Company covenants and agrees with the Trustee, for the equal
      benefit of the Holders of the 5.55% Senior Notes, as follows:

    SECTION
      201. Issue
      of 5.55% Senior Notes

    

    A
      Series
      of Senior Notes which shall be designated the "5.55% Senior Notes, Series E,
      due
      2017" shall be executed, authenticated and delivered from time to time in
      accordance with the provisions of, and shall in all respects be subject to,
      the
      terms, conditions and covenants of, the Original Indenture and this Fifth
      Supplemental Indenture (including the form of Global Security set forth in
      Exhibit
      A
      hereto).
      The aggregate principal amount of the 5.55% Senior Notes, which may be
      authenticated and delivered under this Fifth Supplemental Indenture shall
      initially be $250,000,000, and such principal amount of the 5.55% Senior Notes
      may be increased from time to time. All 5.55% Senior Notes need not be issued
      at
      the same time and such series may be reopened at any time, without the consent
      of any Holder, for the issuance of additional 5.55% Senior Notes. Any such
      additional 5.55% Senior Notes will have the same interest rate, maturity and
      other terms as those initially issued.

    

    SECTION
      202. Form

    The
      form

      The
      terms of such 5.55% Senior Notes are herein incorporated by reference and are

    SECTION
      203. Depositary
      for Global Securities

    

    The

      Note is a part shall be The Depository Trust Company in The City of New
      York.

    

    SECTION
      204. Restrictions
      on Liens

    

    The
      covenant contained in Section 1007 of the Original Indenture shall not be
      applicable to the 5.55% Senior Notes.

    

    So
      long
      as any of the 5.55% Senior Notes are outstanding, the Company will not create
      or
      suffer to be created or to exist any additional mortgage, pledge, security
      interest, or other lien (collectively "Liens") on any of its utility properties
      or tangible assets now owned or hereafter acquired to secure any indebtedness
      for borrowed money ("Secured Debt"), without providing that the 5.55% Senior
      Notes will be similarly secured. This restriction does not apply to the
      Company's subsidiaries, nor will it prevent any of them from creating or
      permitting to exist Liens on their property or assets to secure any Secured
      Debt. Further, this restriction on Secured Debt does not apply to the Company's
      existing first mortgage bonds that have previously been issued under its
      Indenture, dated February 1, 1940, between the Company and Continental Bank,
      National Association and M.J. Kruger, as Trustees, now The Bank of New York
      and
      Frederick W. Clark, as successor trustees, any indenture supplemental thereto;
      provided that this restriction will apply to future issuances thereunder (other
      than issuances of refunding first mortgage bonds). In addition, this restriction
      does not prevent the creation or existence of:

    

    
      	 	
              (a)

            	
              Liens
                on property existing at the time of acquisition or construction of
                such
                property (or created within one year after completion of such acquisition
                or construction), whether by purchase, merger, construction or otherwise,
                or to secure the payment of all or any part of the purchase price
                or
                construction cost thereof, including the extension of any Liens to
                repairs, renewals, replacements, substitutions, betterments, additions,
                extensions and improvements then or thereafter made on the property
                subject thereto;

            
	 	 	 
	 	
              (b)

                extensions, renewals or replacements (or successive extensions, renewals
                or replacements), in whole or in part, of liens permitted by the
                foregoing
                clauses; and

            
	 	 	 
	 	
              (d)

            	
              The
                pledge of any bonds or other securities at any time issued under
                any of
                the Secured Debt permitted by the above
                clauses.

            

    

    

    In
      addition to the permitted issuances above, Secured Debt not otherwise so
      permitted may be issued in an amount that does not exceed 15% of Net Tangible
      Assets as defined below. 

    

    "Net
      Tangible Assets" means the total of all assets (including revaluations thereof
      as a result of commercial appraisals, price level restatement or otherwise)
      appearing on the Company's balance sheet, net of applicable reserves and
      deductions, but excluding goodwill, trade names, trademarks, patents,
      unamortized debt discount and all other like intangible assets (which term
      shall
      not be construed to include such revaluations), less the aggregate of the
      Company's current liabilities appearing on such balance sheet. For purposes
      of
      this definition, the Company's balance sheet does not include assets and
      liabilities of its subsidiaries.

    

    This
      restriction also does not apply to or prevent the creation or existence of
      leases made, or existing on property acquired, in the ordinary course of
      business.

    SOUTHWESTERN
      ELECTRIC POWER COMPANY, a corporation duly organized and existing under the
      laws
      of the State of Delaware (the "Company", which term includes any successor
      Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby
      promises to pay to CEDE & CO. or registered assigns, the principal sum of
      TWO
      HUNDRED
      FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS
      ($250,000,000) on January 15, 2017 (the "Final Maturity"), and to pay interest
      thereon from January 11, 2007 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date
      to
      which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually on January
      15
      and July 15 of each year, commencing July 15, 2007, at the Interest Rate per
      annum specified above, until the Principal Amount shall have been paid or duly
      provided for. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of
      twelve 30-day months.

    

    The
      interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest
      Payment Date will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in
      whose
      name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at
      the
      close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall
      be
      the January 1 or July 1 (whether or not a Business Day) immediately preceding
      the Interest Payment Date. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly
      provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular
      Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security
      (or
      one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business
      on a
      Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed
      by
      the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities of this
      Series not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid
      at
      any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements
      of
      any securities exchange on which the Securities of this Series may be listed,
      and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully
      provided in said Indenture.

    

    Payment
      of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Security will
      be
      made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in
      the
      Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, New York, in such coin or currency
      of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for
      the payment of public and private debts; provided, however, that at the option
      of the Company payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the address
      of
      the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security
      Register.

    

    This
      Security has initially been issued in the form of a Global Security, and the
      Company has initially designated The Depository Trust Company (the "Depositary",
      which term shall include any successor depositary) as the depositary for this
      Security. For as long as this Security or any portion hereof is issued in such
      form, and notwithstanding the previous paragraph, all payments of interest,
      principal and other amounts in respect of this Security or portion thereof
      shall
      be made to the Depositary or its nominee in accordance with the Applicable
      Procedures in the coin or currency specified above and as further provided
      herein.

    

    This
      Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (the
      "Securities"), issued and to be issued in one or more Series under an Indenture,
      dated as of February 25, 2000, as amended and supplemented from time to time
      (the "Indenture", which term shall have the meaning assigned to it in such
      instrument), between the Company and The Bank of New York, a New York banking
      corporation, as Trustee (the "Trustee", which term includes any successor
      trustee under the Indenture), as to which Indenture and all indentures
      supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective
      rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company,
      the Trustee and the Holders and of the terms upon which the Securities are,
      and
      are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the Series
      designated on the face hereof, limited in aggregate principal amount to
      $250,000,000; provided, however, the aggregate principal amount hereof can
      be
      increased, without the consent of the Holder, as permitted by the provisions
      of
      the Original Indenture. The provisions of this Security, together with the
      provisions of the Indenture, shall govern the rights, obligations, duties and
      immunities of the Holder, the Company and the Trustee with respect to this
      Security, provided that, if any provision of this Security necessarily conflicts
      with any provision of the Indenture, the provision of this Security shall be
      controlling to the fullest extent permitted under the Indenture.

    

    The
      Securities of this Series are subject to redemption upon not less than 30 nor
      more than 60 days' notice by mail to the Holders of such Securities at their
      addresses in the Security Register for such Series at the option of the Company,
      in whole or in part, from time to time at a Redemption Price equal to
the
      greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Securities of this Series
      being redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled
      payments of principal and interest on the Securities of this Series being
      redeemed (excluding the portion of any such interest accrued to the date of
      redemption) discounted (for purposes of determining present value) to the
      redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting
      of
      twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 20 basis
      points, plus, in each case, accrued interest thereon to the date of
      redemption.

    

    "Comparable
      Treasury Issue" means the United States Treasury security selected by an
      Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining
      term of the Securities of this Series that would be utilized, at the time of
      selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new
      issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining
      term
      of the Securities of this Series. 

    

    “Comparable
      Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, (1) the average of
      the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after
      excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations,
      or
      (2) if we obtain fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations,
      the
      average of all such quotations.

    

    "Independent
      Investment Banker" means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by
      the
      Company and reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.

    

    "Reference
      Treasury Dealer" means a primary U.S. government securities dealer selected
      by
      us and reasonably acceptable to the trustee.

    

    "Reference
      Treasury Dealer Quotation" means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer
      and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Trustee, of the
      bid
      and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case
      as a
      percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Trustee by such
      Reference Treasury Dealer at or before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the
      third Business Day preceding such redemption date.

    

    "Treasury
      Rate" means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per year equal to
      the
      semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue,
      assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage
      of
      its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption
      date.

    

    If
      notice
      has been given as provided in the Indenture and funds for redemption of any
      Securities (or any portion thereof) called for redemption shall have been made
      available on the Redemption Date referred to in such notice, such Securities
      (or
      any portion thereof) will cease to bear interest on the date fixed for such
      redemption specified in such notice and the only right of the Holders of such
      Securities will be to receive payment of the Redemption Price.

    

    In
      the
      event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities
      of this Series and of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be
      issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation
      hereof.

    

    The
      Securities of this Series will not be subject to any sinking fund.

    

    If
      an
      Event of Default with respect to Securities of this Series shall occur and
      be
      continuing, the principal of the Securities of this Series may be declared
      due
      and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the
      Indenture.

    

    Interest
      payments with respect to this Security will be computed and paid on the basis
      of
      a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months for the actual number of days
      elapsed.

    

    The
      Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment
      thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and
      the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each Series to be affected under
      the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of
      the
      Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time
      Outstanding of all Series to be affected (voting as a class). The Indenture
      also
      contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal
      amount of the Securities of each Series at the time Outstanding, on behalf
      of
      the Holders of all Securities of such Series, to waive compliance by the Company
      with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the
      Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder
      of
      this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all
      future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration
      of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not
      notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

    

    No
      reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the
      Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute
      and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on
      this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein
      prescribed.

    

    This
      Security shall be exchangeable for Securities registered in the names of Persons
      other than the Depositary with respect to such Series or its nominee only as
      provided in the Indenture. This Security shall be so exchangeable if (x) the
      Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue
      as
      Depositary for such Series or at any time ceases to be a clearing agency
      registered as such under the Exchange Act, (y) the Company executes and delivers
      to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate providing that this Security shall
      be so
      exchangeable or (z) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of
      Default with respect to the Securities of such Series. Securities so issued
      in
      exchange for this Security shall be of the same Series, having the same interest
      rate, if any, and maturity and having the same terms as this Security, in
      authorized denominations and in the aggregate having the same principal amount
      as this Security and registered in such names as the Depositary for such Global
      Security shall direct.

    

    As
      provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
      the transfer of a Security of the Series of which this Security is a part is
      registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for
      registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place
      where the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security are
      payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer
      in
      form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by,
      the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon
      one
      or more new Securities of this Series and of like tenor, of authorized
      denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to
      the
      designated transferee or transferees.

    

    The
      Securities of this Series are issuable only in registered form without coupons
      in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. As provided in
      the
      Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities
      of
      this Series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities
      of this Series and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as
      requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

    

    No
      service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange,
      but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
      other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

    

    Prior
      to
      due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company,
      the
      Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in
      whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes,
      whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee
      nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

    

    For
      so
      long as this Security is issued in the form of a Global Security, any notice
      to
      be given to the Holder of this Security shall be deemed to have been duly given
      to such Holder when given to the Depositary, or its nominee, in accordance
      with
      its Applicable Procedures. Neither the Company nor the Trustee will have any
      responsibility with respect to those policies and procedures or for any notices
      or other communications among the Depositary, its direct and indirect
      participants and the beneficial owners of this Security in global
      form.

    

    If
      at any
      time this Security is not represented by a Global Security, any notice to be
      given to the Holder of this Security shall be deemed to have been duly given
      to
      such Holder upon the mailing of such notice to the Holder at such Holder's
      address as it appears on the Security Register maintained by the Company or
      its
      agent as of the close of business preceding the day such notice is
