specified event or at the option of a Holder thereof.

     2.11 Limitation on Liens.

     (a) So long as any 2017 Notes remain outstanding, the Company shall not issue, assume,
guarantee or permit to exist any indebtedness for borrowed money secured by a Lien on any shares of
capital stock or other equity interests of any Majority-Owned Subsidiary, which shares of capital
stock or other equity interests the Company now or hereafter directly owns, without effectively
securing the 2017 Notes equally and ratably with (or prior to) that indebtedness. The foregoing
limitation does not limit the following Liens and indebtedness:

          (i) any Lien on shares of capital stock or other equity interests of an entity existing
at the time that such entity becomes a Majority-Owned Subsidiary;

          (ii) any Lien on shares of capital stock or other equity interests created at the time
the Company acquires those shares of capital stock or other equity interests, or within 270
days after that time, to secure all or a portion of the purchase price for those shares of
capital stock or other equity interests;

          (iii) any Lien on shares of capital stock or other equity interests in favor of the
United States (or any State or territory thereof), any foreign country or any department,
agency or instrumentality or political subdivision of those jurisdictions, to secure payment
pursuant to any contract or statute;

          (iv) any Lien on shares of capital stock or other equity interests arising in
connection with court proceedings; provided that either: (1) the execution or enforcement of
that Lien is effectively stayed within 30 days after entry of the corresponding judgment (or
the corresponding judgment has been discharged within that 30 day period) and the claims
secured by that Lien are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings; (2) the
payment of that Lien is covered in full by insurance and the insurance provider has not
denied or contested coverage; or (3) so long as that Lien is adequately bonded, any
appropriate legal proceedings that have been duly initiated for the review of the
corresponding judgment, decree or order have not been fully terminated or the periods within
which those proceedings may be initiated have not expired;

          (v) any Lien on shares of capital stock or other equity interests in favor of the
Company;

          (vi) any Lien on shares of capital stock or other equity interests of any special
purpose subsidiary formed for the sole and exclusive purpose of the acquisition,

6

 

development, ownership or operation of an asset with indebtedness as to which there is
no recourse to the Company or any of its affiliates other than such subsidiary;

          (vii) any Lien on shares of capital stock or other equity interests of any special
purpose, bankruptcy-remote subsidiary formed for the sole and exclusive purpose of engaging
in activities in connection with the purchase, sale and financing of accounts receivable,
payment intangibles, accounts or notes receivable and related rights and property in
connection with and pursuant to a Permitted Securitization; and

          (viii) the replacement, extension or renewal of any Lien referred to above, provided
that: (1) the principal amount of indebtedness secured by those Liens immediately after the
replacement, extension or renewal may not exceed the principal amount of indebtedness
secured by those Liens immediately before the replacement, extension or renewal; and (2) the
replacement, extension or renewal Lien is limited to no more than the same proportion of the shares of capital stock or other equity interests as were covered by the Lien that was
replaced, extended or renewed.

     (b) The provisions of this Section 2.11 shall be an “additional covenant” for purposes of
Section 5.04 of the Indenture and subject to covenant defeasance in accordance with Section 5.04 of
the Indenture, including, without limitation, Section 5.04(g) (such that following a covenant
defeasance with respect to the 2017 Notes, payment on the 2017 Notes may not be accelerated because
of a default under or other reference to this Section 2.11).

ARTICLE THREE

Optional Redemption of the 2017 Notes

     3.01 Redemption Price. The Company shall have the right to redeem the 2017 Notes, at its
option, at any time in whole, or from time to time in part, at a redemption price equal to the
greater of:

          (i) 100% of the principal amount of the 2017 Notes to be redeemed; and

          (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and
interest on the 2017 Notes to be redeemed (not including any portion of such payments of
interest accrued as of the date of redemption), discounted to the date of redemption on a
semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the
Treasury Rate, plus 35 basis points;

plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to the
redemption date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on the 2017 Notes that are due and payable
on an Interest Payment Date falling on our prior to a redemption date shall be payable on such
Interest Payment Date to the Holders as of the close of business on the relevant Record Date.

	Interest Rate: 6.875% per annum (subject to adjustment)

     GREAT PLAINS ENERGY INCORPORATED, a Missouri corporation (hereinafter called the “Company”,
which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for
value received, hereby promises to pay to the registered Holder named above or registered assigns,
on the maturity date stated above, the principal sum stated above and to pay interest thereon from
September 25, 2007, or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been duly
paid or provided for, initially on March 15, 2008, and thereafter semi-annually on March 15 and
September 15 of each year, at the interest rate 6.875% per annum (the “Original Rate”), until the
date on which payment of such principal sum has been made or duly provided for. The interest so
payable on any Interest Payment Date will be paid to the person in whose name this Note is
registered at the close of business on the March 1 or September 1, as the case may be (whether or
not such day is a Business Day), immediately preceding that Interest Payment Date, except as
otherwise provided in the Indenture.

     The principal and interest payments on this Note will be made by the Company to the registered
Holder named above. All such payments shall be made in such coin or currency of the United States
of America as at the time of payment is legally tender for payment of public and private debts.

     The interest rate payable on this Note will be subject to adjustment from time to time if
either Moody’s Investor Services, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, a

A-1

 

division of McGraw-Hill, Inc. (“S&P”), downgrades (or subsequently upgrades) the debt rating
applicable to this Note (a “rating”) as set forth below.

     If the rating on this Note from Moody’s is a rating set forth in the immediately following
table, the per annum interest rate on this Note will increase from the Original Rate by the
percentage set forth opposite that rating:

	 	 	 	 	 
	Rating	 	Percentage
	Ba1
	 	0.25	%	 
	Ba2
	 	0.50	%	 
	Ba3
	 	0.75	%	 
	B1 or below
	 	1.00	%	 

     If the rating on this Note from S&P is a rating set forth in the immediately following table,
the per annum interest rate on this Note will increase from the Original Rate by the percentage set
forth opposite that rating:

	 	 	 	 	 
	Rating	 	Percentage
	BB+
	 	0.25	%	 
	BB
	 	0.50	%	 
	BB-
	 	0.75	%	 
	B+ or below
	 	1.00	%	 

     If Moody’s or S&P subsequently increases its rating to any of the threshold ratings set forth
above, the per annum interest rate on this Note will be decreased such that the per annum interest
rate equals the Original Rate plus the percentages set forth opposite the ratings from the tables
above in effect immediately following the increase. Each adjustment required by any decrease or
increase in a rating set forth above, whether occasioned by the action of Moody’s or S&P, shall be
made independent of any and all other adjustments. In no event shall (1) the per annum interest
rate on this Note be reduced below the Original Rate, and (2) the total increase in the per annum
interest rate on this Note exceed 2.00% above the Original Rate.

     If either Moody’s or S&P ceases to provide a rating, any subsequent increase or decrease in
the interest rate of this Note necessitated by a reduction or increase in the rating by the agency
continuing to provide the rating shall be twice the percentage set forth in the applicable table
above. No adjustments in the interest rate of this Note shall be made solely as a result of either
Moody’s or S&P ceasing to provide a rating. If both Moody’s and S&P cease to provide a rating, the
interest rate on this Note will increase to, or remain at, as the case may be, 2.00% above the
Original Rate.

     Any interest rate increase or decrease, as described above, will take effect from the first
day of the interest period during which a rating change requires an adjustment to the interest rate
on this Note as described above.

     This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of notes of the Company (herein called the
“Notes”), issued under an Indenture, dated as of June 1, 2004, as supplemented by the Second
Supplemental Indenture, dated as of September 25, 2007 (herein called the “Indenture”, which term
shall have the meaning assigned to it in such instruments), between the Company and The

A-2

 

Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A. (successor to BNY Midwest Trust Company), as Trustee
(herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture).
Reference is made to the Indenture and any supplemental indenture thereto for the provisions
relating, among other things, to the respective rights of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders
of the Notes, and the terms on which the Notes are authenticated and delivered. This Note is one
of the series designated on the face hereof, initially limited in aggregate principal amount to
$100,000,000; provided, however, that the authorized aggregate principal amount of the Notes may be
increased above such amount by a Board Resolution authorizing such increase. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the Indenture, the Company shall not issue additional Notes after
September 25, 2007 unless the Holders of the outstanding Notes will be subject to federal income
tax in the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if
such additional Notes were not issued.

     The Company shall have the right to redeem the Notes of this series, at its option, at any
time in whole, or from time to time in part, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100%
of the principal amount to be redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining
scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed (not including any portion
of such payments of interest accrued as of the date of redemption), discounted to the date of
redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at
the Treasury Rate plus 35 basis points; plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the
principal amount of the Notes being redeemed to the redemption date.

     For purposes of determining the redemption price:

     “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the
Quotation Agent as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be
redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary

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 aggregate principal amount of the

the coin or currency, herein provided.

     This Note is issuable as a registered Note only, in the denomination of $1,000 and any
integral multiples thereof.

     As provided in the Indenture, this Note is transferable by the registered Holder hereof in
person or by his attorney duly authorized in writing on the books of the Company at the office or
agency to be maintained by the Company for that purpose. Upon any registration of transfer, a new
registered Note or Notes, of authorized denomination or denominations, and in the same aggregate
principal amount, will be issued to the transferee in exchange therefore.

     The Company, the Trustee, any paying agent and any Authenticating Agent may deem

A-4

 

and treat the registered Holder hereof as the absolute owner of this Note (whether or not this
Note shall be overdue) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal and
premium, if any, and interest on this Note as herein provided and for all other purposes, and
neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any paying agent nor any Authenticating Agent shall be
affected by any notice to the contrary.

     No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on
this Note, or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect
of the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator or against any
past, present or future stockholder, officer or member of the Board of Directors, as such, of the
Company, whether by virtue of any constitution, state or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any
assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as party
of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.

     This Note shall be governed by and deemed to be a contract made under, and construed in
accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, and for all purposes shall be construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to conflicts of law principles
thereof.

     All terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture and not defined herein shall
have the meaning assigned to them in the Indenture.

for any purpose until the certificate of authentication on the face hereof is manually signed by
the Trustee.
