 Dear Sirs: 
  
 Kansas Gas and Electric Company, a Kansas corporation (the “Company”) and U.S. Bank National Association, a
national banking association (“USB”), not in its individual capacity but solely as owner trustee (the “Owner Trustee”), have entered into a Purchase Agreement dated June 21, 2005 (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Credit
Suisse First Boston LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., ABN AMRO Incorporated, Barclays Capital Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc, Piper Jaffray & Co. and Hibernia Southcoast Capital, Inc. (each, an “Initial Purchaser” and
collectively, the “Initial Purchasers”), relating to $320,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.647% Secured Facility Bonds, Series 2005, Due 2021 (the “Initial Securities”). The Initial Securities will be issued pursuant to
the Trust Indenture, Security Agreement and Mortgage dated as of September 1, 1987 (the “Original Indenture”) among the Company, the Owner Trustee and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (formerly known as Bankers Trust Company), acting
not in its individual capacity but solely as indenture trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”), as amended by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of September 29, 1992 (the “First Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the
Original Indenture, the “Existing Indenture”) and the Second Supplemental Indenture to be dated as of June 30, 2005 (together with the Existing Indenture, the “Indenture”). As an inducement to the Initial Purchasers to enter into
the Purchase Agreement, the Company and the Owner Trustee, as applicable, agree with the Initial Purchasers, for the benefit of the holders of the Initial Securities (including, without limitation, the Initial Purchasers), the Exchange Securities
(as defined below) and the Private Exchange Securities (as defined below) (collectively the “Holders”), as follows: 
  
 1. Registered Exchange Offer. The Company shall, at its own cost, prepare and, not later than 90 days after (or if the 90th day is not a business
day, the first business day thereafter) the date of original 

 
issue of the Initial Securities (the “Issue Date”), file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration
statement (the “Exchange Offer Registration Statement”) on an appropriate form under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), with respect to a proposed offer (the “Registered Exchange Offer”) to
the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities (as defined in Section 6 hereof), who are not prohibited by any law or policy of the Commission from participating in the Registered Exchange Offer, to issue and deliver to such Holders, in exchange for
the Initial Securities, a like aggregate principal amount of debt securities (the “Exchange Securities”) of the Owner Trust (as defined in the Indenture) issued under the Indenture and identical in all material respects to the Initial
Securities (except for the transfer restrictions relating to the Initial Securities and the provisions relating to the matters described in Section 6 hereof) that would be registered under the Securities Act. The Company shall use its reasonable
best efforts to cause such Exchange Offer Registration Statement to become effective under the Securities Act within 210 days (or if the 210th day is not a business day, the first business day thereafter) after the Issue Date of the Initial
Securities and shall keep the Exchange Offer Registration Statement effective for not less than 20 business days (or longer, if required by applicable law) after the date notice of the Registered Exchange Offer is mailed to the Holders (such period
being called the “Exchange Offer Registration Period”). 
  
 If the Registered Exchange Offer is effected, the Registered Exchange Offer will be entitled to be closed 20 business days after the commencement thereof provided that the Company has accepted all the Initial Securities theretofore validly
tendered in accordance with the terms of the Registered Exchange Offer. 
  
 Following the declaration of the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, the Company shall promptly commence the Registered Exchange Offer, it being the objective of such Registered Exchange Offer to enable each Holder
of Transfer Restricted Securities (as defined in Section 6 hereof) electing to exchange the Initial Securities for Exchange Securities (assuming that such Holder is not an affiliate of the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, acquires
the Exchange Securities in the ordinary course of such Holder’s business and has no arrangements with any person to participate in the distribution of the Exchange Securities and is not prohibited by any law or policy of the Commission from
participating in the Registered Exchange Offer) to trade such Exchange Securities from and after their receipt without any limitations or restrictions under the Securities Act and without material restrictions under the securities laws of the
several states of the United States. 
  
 The Company acknowledges
that, pursuant to current interpretations by the Commission’s staff of Section 5 of the Securities Act, in the absence of an applicable exemption therefrom, (i) each Holder which is a broker-dealer electing to exchange Initial Securities,
acquired for its own account as a result of market making activities or other trading activities, for Exchange Securities (an “Exchanging Dealer”), is required to deliver a prospectus containing the information substantially to the effect
set forth in (a) Annex A hereto on the cover, (b) Annex B hereto in the “Exchange Offer Procedures” section and the “Purpose of the Exchange Offer” section, and (c) Annex C hereto in the “Plan of Distribution” section
of such prospectus in connection with a sale of any such Exchange Securities received by such Exchanging Dealer pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer and (ii) an Initial Purchaser that elects to sell Exchange Securities acquired in exchange for
Initial Securities constituting any portion of an unsold allotment is required to deliver a prospectus containing the information required by Items 507 or 508 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act, as applicable, in connection with such sale.

  
 The Company shall, subject to Section 6(b) hereof, use its
reasonable best efforts to keep the Exchange Offer Registration Statement effective and to amend and supplement the prospectus contained therein, in order to permit such prospectus to be lawfully delivered by all persons subject to the prospectus
delivery requirements of the Securities Act for such period of time as such persons must comply with such requirements in order to resell the Exchange Securities; provided, however, that (i) in the case where such prospectus and any amendment or
supplement thereto must be delivered by an Exchanging Dealer or an Initial Purchaser, such period shall be the lesser of 180 days and the date on which all Exchanging Dealers and the Initial Purchasers have sold all Exchange Securities held by them
(unless such period is extended 
  

 2 

 pursuant to Section 3(j) below) and (ii) the Company shall make such prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto,
available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any resale of any Exchange Securities for a period of not less than 90 days after the consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer. 
  
 If, upon consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer, any Initial Purchaser
holds Initial Securities acquired by it as part of its initial distribution, the Company, simultaneously with the delivery of the Exchange Securities pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer, shall cause the Owner Trustee to, and the Owner Trustee
shall, issue and deliver to such Initial Purchaser upon the written request of such Initial Purchaser, in exchange (the “Private Exchange”) for the Initial Securities held by such Initial Purchaser, a like principal amount of debt
securities issued under the Indenture and identical in all material respects (including the existence of restrictions on transfer under the Securities Act and the securities laws of the several states of the United States, but excluding provisions
relating to the matters described in Section 6 hereof) to the Initial Securities (the “Private Exchange Securities”). The Initial Securities, the Exchange Securities and the Private Exchange Securities are herein collectively called the
“Securities”. 
  
 In connection with the Registered
Exchange Offer, the Company shall: 
  
 (a) mail
to each Holder a copy of the prospectus forming part of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, together with an appropriate letter of transmittal and related documents; 
  
 (b) keep the Registered Exchange Offer open for not less than 30 days (or longer, if required by applicable
law) after the date notice thereof is mailed to the Holders; 
  
 (c) utilize the services of a depositary for the Registered Exchange Offer with an address in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, which may be the Indenture Trustee or an affiliate of the Indenture
Trustee; 
  
 (d) permit Holders to withdraw
tendered Securities at any time prior to the close of business, New York time, on the last business day on which the Registered Exchange Offer shall remain open; and 
  
 (e) otherwise comply with all applicable laws. 
  
 As soon as practicable after the close of the Registered Exchange Offer or the Private Exchange, as the case may be, the
Company shall: 
  
 (x) accept for exchange all
the Securities validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer and the Private Exchange; 
  
 (y) deliver to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation all the Initial Securities so accepted for exchange; and 
  
 (z) cause the Owner Trustee to, and the Owner Trustee shall
cause the Indenture Trustee to, authenticate and deliver promptly to each Holder of the Initial Securities, Exchange Securities or Private Exchange Securities, as the case may be, equal in principal amount to the Initial Securities of such Holder so
accepted for exchange. 
  
 The Indenture will provide that the
Exchange Securities will not be subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in the Indenture and that all the Securities will vote and consent together on all matters as one class and that none of the Securities will have the right to vote or
consent as a class separate from one another on any matter. 
  
  

 3 

 Interest on each Exchange Security and Private Exchange Security issued pursuant to the Registered
Exchange Offer and in the Private Exchange will accrue from the last interest payment date on which interest was paid on the Initial Securities surrendered in exchange therefor or, if no interest has been paid on the Initial Securities, from the
date of original issue of the Initial Securities. 
  
 Each Holder
participating in the Registered Exchange Offer shall be required to represent to the Company that at the time of the consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer that: (i) any Exchange Securities received by such Holder will be acquired in the
ordinary course of business, (ii) such Holder will have no arrangements or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of the Securities or the Exchange Securities within the meaning of the Securities Act, (iii) such Holder is
not an “affiliate,” as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act, of the Company or if it is an affiliate, such Holder will comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act to the extent applicable,
(iv) if such Holder is not a broker-dealer, that it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, the distribution of the Exchange Securities and (v) if such Holder is a broker-dealer, that it will receive Exchange Securities for its own
account in exchange for Initial Securities that were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities and that it will be required to acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such
Exchange Securities. 
  
 Notwithstanding any other provisions
hereof, the Company will ensure that (i) any Exchange Offer Registration Statement and any amendment thereto and any prospectus forming part thereof and any supplement thereto complies in all material respects with the Securities Act and the rules
and regulations thereunder, (ii) any Exchange Offer Registration Statement and any amendment thereto does not, when it becomes effective, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and (iii) any prospectus forming part of any Exchange Offer Registration Statement, and any supplement to such prospectus, does not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. 
  
 2. Shelf Registration. If, (i) because of any change in law or in applicable interpretations thereof by the staff of
the Commission, a Registered Exchange Offer is not permitted to be effected, as contemplated by Section 1 hereof, (ii) the Registered Exchange Offer is not consummated within 240 days of the Issue Date, (iii) any Initial Purchaser so requests in
writing on or prior to the 20th business day following the consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer with
respect to the Initial Securities (or the Private Exchange Securities) not eligible to be exchanged for Exchange Securities in the Registered Exchange Offer and held by it following consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer or (iv) any Holder
(other than an Exchanging Dealer) notifies the Company in writing on or prior to the 20th business day following the
consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer that it is not eligible to participate in the Registered Exchange Offer or, in the case of any Holder (other than an Exchanging Dealer) that participates in the Registered Exchange Offer, such Holder
does not receive freely tradeable Exchange Securities on the date of the exchange, the Company shall take the following actions: 
  
 (a) The Company shall, at its cost, prepare and, not later than 60 days after so required or requested pursuant to this Section 2, file
with the Commission and thereafter shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause to be declared effective (in no event more than 120 days after so required or requested pursuant to this Section 2) a registration statement (the “Shelf
Registration Statement” and, together with the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, a “Registration Statement”) on an appropriate form under the Securities Act relating to the offer and sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities (as
defined in Section 6 hereof) by the Holders thereof from time to time in accordance with the methods of distribution set forth in the Shelf Registration Statement and Rule 415 under the Securities Act (hereinafter, the “Shelf
Registration”); provided, however, that no Holder (other than an Initial Purchaser) shall be entitled to have the Securities held by it covered by such Shelf Registration Statement unless such Holder agrees in writing to be bound by all the
provisions of this Agreement applicable to such Holder. 
  

 4 

 (b) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration
Statement continuously effective in order to permit the prospectus included therein to be lawfully delivered by the Holders of the relevant Securities, for a period of two years (or for such longer period if extended pursuant to Section 3(j) below)
from the Issue Date or such shorter period that will terminate when all the Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement (i) have been sold pursuant thereto or (ii) are no longer restricted securities (as defined in Rule 144 under the
Securities Act, or any successor rule thereof). The Company shall be deemed not to have used its reasonable best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement effective during the requisite period if it voluntarily takes any action (other than an
action permitted by Section 6(b)) that would result in Holders of Securities covered thereby not being able to offer and sell such Securities during that period, unless such action is required by applicable law. 
  
 (c) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement
to the contrary, the Company shall cause the Shelf Registration Statement and the related prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, as of the effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement, amendment or supplement, (i) to comply in all
material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission and (ii) not to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. 
  
 3. Registration Procedures. In connection with any Shelf Registration contemplated by Section 2 hereof and, to the extent applicable, any
Registered Exchange Offer contemplated by Section 1 hereof, the following provisions shall apply: 
  
 (a) The Company shall (i) furnish to each Initial Purchaser, prior to the filing thereof with the Commission, a copy of the Registration
Statement and each amendment thereof and each supplement, if any, to the prospectus included therein (except for documents to be filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) and, in the event that an Initial Purchaser (with respect
to any portion of an unsold allotment from the original offering) is participating in the Registered Exchange Offer or the Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to reflect in each such document, when so
filed with the Commission, such comments as such Initial Purchaser reasonably may propose; (ii) include information substantially to the effect set forth in Annex A hereto on the cover, in Annex B hereto in the “Exchange Offer Procedures”
section and the “Purpose of the Exchange Offer” section and in Annex C hereto in the “Plan of Distribution” section of the prospectus forming a part of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and include the information set
forth in Annex D hereto in the Letter of Transmittal delivered pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer; (iii) if requested by an Initial Purchaser in connection with a Shelf Registration, include the information required by Items 507 or 508 of
Regulation S-K under the Securities Act, as applicable, in the prospectus forming a part of the Shelf Registration Statement; and (iv) in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, include the names of the Holders, who propose to sell Securities
pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, as selling securityholders. 
  
 (b) The Company shall give written notice to the Initial Purchaser, the Holders of the Securities (only in the event of a Shelf Registration Statement) and any broker-dealer participating in the Registered Exchange
Offer (a “Participating Broker-Dealer”) from whom the Company has received prior written notice that it will be a Participating Broker-Dealer in the Registered Exchange Offer (which notice pursuant to clauses (ii)-(v) hereof shall be
accompanied by an instruction to suspend the use of the prospectus until the requisite changes have been made): 
  
 (i) when the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the Commission and when the Registration Statement or any
post-effective amendment thereto has become effective; 
  

 5 

 (ii) of any request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to the Registration
Statement or the prospectus included therein or for additional information; 
  
 (iii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; 
  
 (iv) of the receipt by the Company or its legal counsel of
any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and 
  
 (v) of the happening of any event that requires the Company
to make changes in the Registration Statement or the prospectus in order that the Registration Statement or the prospectus do not contain an untrue statement of a material fact nor omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading. 
  
 (c) The Company shall make every reasonable effort to obtain the withdrawal at the earliest possible time, of any order suspending the
effectiveness of the Registration Statement. 
  
 (d) The Company shall, upon request, furnish to each Holder of Securities included within the coverage of the Shelf Registration, without charge, at least one copy of the Shelf Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment
thereto, including financial statements and schedules, and, if the Holder so requests in writing, all exhibits thereto (excluding those exhibits or any other documents, if any, incorporated by reference). 
  
 (e) The Company shall deliver to each Exchanging Dealer and
each Initial Purchaser, and to any other Holder who so requests, without charge, at least one copy of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, including financial statements and schedules, and, if any
Initial Purchaser or any such Holder requests, all exhibits thereto (excluding those exhibits or any other documents incorporated by reference). 
  
 (f) The Company shall, during the Shelf Registration Period, deliver to each Holder of Securities included within the coverage of the
Shelf Registration, without charge, as many copies of the prospectus (including each preliminary prospectus) included in the Shelf Registration Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto as such person may reasonably request. The Company
consents, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, to the use of the prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders of the Securities in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities covered by the
prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, included in the Shelf Registration Statement. 
  
 (g) The Company shall deliver to each Initial Purchaser, any Exchanging Dealer, any Participating Broker-Dealer and such other persons
required to deliver a prospectus following the Registered Exchange Offer, without charge, as many copies of the final prospectus included in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto as such persons may
reasonably request. The Company consents, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, to the use of the prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto by any Initial Purchaser, if 
  

 6 

 necessary, any Participating Broker-Dealer and such other persons required to deliver a prospectus
following the Registered Exchange Offer in connection with the offering and sale of the Exchange Securities covered by the prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, included in such Exchange Offer Registration Statement. 
  
 (h) Prior to any public offering of the Securities, pursuant
to any Registration Statement, the Company shall register or qualify or cooperate with the Holders of the Securities included therein and their respective counsel in connection with the registration or qualification of the Securities for offer and
sale under the securities or “blue sky” laws of such states of the United States as any Holder of the Securities reasonably requests in writing and do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the offer and sale in
such jurisdictions of the Securities covered by such Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or (ii) take any
action which would subject it to general service of process or to taxation in any jurisdiction where it is not then so subject. 
  
 (i) The Company shall cause the Owner Trustee, and the Owner Trustee shall, cooperate with the Holders of the Securities to facilitate the
timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing the Securities to be sold pursuant to any Registration Statement free of any restrictive legends and in such denominations and registered in such names as the Holders may request a
reasonable period of time prior to sales of the Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. 
  
 (j) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by paragraphs (ii) through (v) of Section 3(b) above during the period for which the
Company is required to maintain an effective Registration Statement, the Company shall, subject to Section 6(b), promptly prepare and file a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus and any
other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to Holders of the Securities or purchasers of Securities, the prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. If the Company notifies the Initial Purchasers, the Holders of the Securities and any known Participating Broker-Dealer in
accordance with paragraphs (ii) through (v) of Section 3(b) above to suspend the use of the prospectus until the requisite changes to the prospectus have been made, then the Initial Purchasers, the Holders of the Securities and any such
Participating Broker-Dealers shall suspend use of such prospectus, and the period of effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement provided for in Section 2(b) above and the Exchange Offer Registration Statement provided for in Section 1 above
shall each be extended by the number of days from and including the date of the giving of such notice to and including the date when the Initial Purchasers, the Holders of the Securities and any known Participating Broker-Dealer shall have received
such amended or supplemented prospectus pursuant to this Section 3(j). 
  
 (k) Not later than the effective date of the applicable Registration Statement, the Company will provide a CUSIP number for the Exchange Securities or the Private Exchange Securities, as the case may be, and shall
cause the Owner Trustee to provide, and the Owner Trustee shall provide, the Indenture Trustee with printed certificates for the Exchange Securities or the Private Exchange Securities, as the case may be, in a form eligible for deposit with The
Depository Trust Company. 
  
 (l) The Company
will comply with all rules and regulations of the Commission to the extent and so long as they are applicable to the Registered Exchange Offer or the Shelf Registration and will make generally available to its security holders (or otherwise provide
in accordance with Section 11(a) of the Securities Act) an earnings statement satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act, no later than 45 days after the end of a 12-month 
  

 7 

 period (or 90 days, if such period is a fiscal year) beginning with the first month of the Company’s
first fiscal quarter commencing after the effective date of the Registration Statement, which statement shall cover such 12-month period. 
  
 (m) The Company shall cause the Indenture to be qualified, to the extent such Indenture is not already so qualified, under the Trust
Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, in a timely manner and containing such changes, if any, as shall be necessary for such qualification. In the event that such qualification would require the appointment of a new indenture trustee under the
Indenture, the Company shall appoint a new indenture trustee thereunder pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Indenture. 
  
 (n) The Company may require each Holder of Securities to be sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement to furnish to the Company
such information regarding the Holder and the distribution of the Securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably require for inclusion in the Shelf Registration Statement, and the Company may exclude from such registration the Securities
of any Holder that unreasonably fails to furnish such information within a reasonable time after receiving such request. 
  
 (o) Each of the Company and the Owner Trustee shall enter into such customary agreements (including, if requested, an underwriting
agreement in customary form) and take all such other action, if any, as any Holder of the Securities shall reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Securities pursuant to any Shelf Registration. 
  
 (p) In the case of any Shelf Registration, each of the
Company and the Owner Trustee shall (i) make reasonably available for inspection by the Holders of the Securities, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement and any attorney, accountant or other
agent retained by the Holders of the Securities or any such underwriter all relevant financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company or the Owner Trustee, as applicable, and (ii) cause the Company’s or
the Owner Trustee’s officers, directors, employees, accountants and auditors to supply all relevant information reasonably requested by the Holders of the Securities or any such underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with the
Shelf Registration Statement, in each case, as shall be reasonably necessary to enable such persons, to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of Section 11 of the Securities Act; provided, however, that the foregoing inspection and
information gathering shall be coordinated on behalf of the Initial Purchasers by you and on behalf of the other parties, by one counsel designated by and on behalf of such other parties as described in Section 4 hereof. 
  
 (q) In the case of any Shelf Registration, each of the
Company and, if applicable, the Owner Trustee, if requested by any Holder of Securities covered thereby, shall cause (i) its counsel to deliver an opinion and updates thereof relating to the Securities in customary form addressed to such Holders and
the managing underwriters, if any, thereof and dated, in the case of the initial opinion, the effective date of such Shelf Registration Statement (it being agreed that the matters to be covered by such opinion shall include, without limitation, the
due incorporation and good standing of the Company and its respective subsidiaries or the Owner Trustee, as applicable; the qualification of the Company and its subsidiaries or the Owner Trustee, as applicable, to transact business as foreign
corporations; the due authorization, execution and delivery of the relevant agreement of the type referred to in Section 3(o) hereof; the due authorization, execution, authentication and issuance, and the validity and enforceability, of the
applicable Securities; the absence of material legal or governmental proceedings involving the Company and its subsidiaries or the Owner Trustee, as applicable; the absence of governmental approvals required to be obtained in connection with the

 8 

 reference therein and of the Indenture with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Trust
Indenture Act, respectively; and, as of the date of the opinion and as of the effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement or most recent post-effective amendment thereto, as the case may be, the absence from such Shelf Registration Statement
and the prospectus included therein, as then amended or supplemented, and from any documents incorporated by reference therein of an untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (in the case of any such documents, in the light of the circumstances existing at the time that such documents were filed with the Commission under the Exchange Act); (ii) its officers to
execute and deliver all customary documents and certificates and updates thereof requested by any underwriters of the applicable Securities and (iii) its independent public accountants to provide to the selling Holders of the applicable Securities
and any underwriter therefor a comfort letter in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in comfort letters in connection with primary underwritten offerings, subject to receipt of appropriate documentation as
contemplated, and only if permitted, by Statement of Auditing Standards No. 72.

with the preparation of a Registration Statement and (ii) its independent public accountants to deliver to such Initial Purchaser or such Participating Broker-Dealer a comfort letter, in customary form, meeting the requirements as to the substance
thereof as set forth in Section 7(g) of the Purchase Agreement, with appropriate date changes.

the preparation of a Registration Statement, with appropriate date changes. 
  
 (t) If a Registered Exchange Offer or a Private Exchange is to be consummated, upon delivery of the Initial Securities by Holders to the Company (or to such other Person as directed by the Company) in exchange for the
Exchange Securities or the Private Exchange Securities, as the case may be, the Company shall instruct the Owner Trustee to mark, and the Owner Trustee shall so mark, or cause to be marked, on the Initial Securities so exchanged that such Initial
Securities are being canceled in exchange for the Exchange Securities or the Private Exchange Securities, as the case may be; in no event shall the Initial Securities be marked as paid or otherwise satisfied. 
  
 (u) The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to (a)
if the Initial Securities have been rated prior to the initial sale of such Initial Securities, confirm such ratings will apply to the Securities covered by a Registration Statement, or (b) if the Initial Securities were not previously rated, cause
the Securities covered by a Registration Statement to be rated with the appropriate rating agencies, if so requested by Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Securities covered by such Registration Statement, or by the managing
underwriters, if any. 
  
 (v) In the event that
any broker-dealer registered under the Exchange Act shall underwrite any Securities or participate as a member of an underwriting syndicate or selling group or “assist in the distribution” (within the meaning of the Conduct Rules (the
“Rules”) of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (“NASD”)) thereof, whether as a Holder of such Securities or as an underwriter, a placement or sales agent or a broker or dealer in respect thereof, or otherwise,
the Company will assist such broker-dealer in complying with the requirements of such Rules, including, without limitation, by (i) if such Rules, including Rule 2720, shall so 
  

 9 

 require, engaging a “qualified independent underwriter” (as defined in Rule 2720) to
participate in the preparation of the Registration Statement relating to such Securities, to exercise usual standards of due diligence in respect thereto and, if any portion of the offering contemplated by such Registration Statement is an
underwritten offering or is made through a placement or sales agent, to recommend the yield of such Securities, (ii) indemnifying any such qualified independent underwriter to the extent of the indemnification of underwriters provided in Section 5
hereof and (iii) providing such information to such broker-dealer as may be required in order for such broker-dealer to comply with the requirements of the Rules. 
  
 (w) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to take all other steps necessary to effect the
registration of the Securities covered by a Registration Statement contemplated hereby. 
  
 4. Registration Expenses. The Company shall bear all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the performance of its obligations relating to the Exchange Registration under Sections 1 through 3
hereof (including the reasonable fees and expenses, if any, of Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy LLP, counsel for the Initial Purchasers, incurred in connection with the Registered Exchange Offer), whether or not the Registered Exchange Offer is
filed or becomes effective, and, in the event of a Shelf Registration, shall bear or reimburse the Holders of the Securities covered thereby for the reasonable fees and disbursements of one firm of counsel designated by the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the Initial Securities covered thereby to act as counsel for the Holders of the Initial Securities in connection therewith. 
  
 5. Indemnification. (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder of the Securities, any Participating Broker-Dealer and each
person, if any, who controls such Holder or such Participating Broker-Dealer within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each Holder, any Participating Broker-Dealer and such controlling persons are referred to collectively as the
“Indemnified Parties”) from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, or any actions in respect thereof (including, but not limited to, any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions relating to
purchases and sales of the Securities) to which each Indemnified Party may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions arise out of or are based upon any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Registration Statement or prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus relating to a Shelf Registration, or arise out of, or are
based upon, the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and shall reimburse, as incurred, the Indemnified Parties for any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action in respect thereof; provided, however, that (i) the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that
such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in a Registration Statement or prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any
preliminary prospectus relating to a Shelf Registration in reliance upon and in conformity with written information pertaining to such Holder and furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for inclusion therein and (ii)
with respect to any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in any preliminary prospectus relating to a Shelf Registration Statement, the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection (a) shall not inure to the
benefit of any Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer from whom the person asserting any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities purchased the Securities concerned, to the extent that a prospectus relating to such Securities was required to be
delivered by such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer under the Securities Act in connection with such purchase and any such loss, claim, damage or liability of such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer results from the fact that there was not
sent or given to such person, at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of such Securities to such person, a copy of the final prospectus if the Company had previously furnished copies thereof to such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer;
provided further, however, that this indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have to such Indemnified Party. The Company 
  

 10 

 
shall also indemnify underwriters, their officers and directors and each person who controls such underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act or
the Exchange Act to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Holders of the Securities if requested by such Holders. 
  
 (b) Each Holder of the Securities, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each person, if any, who controls the
Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities or any actions in respect thereof, to which the Company or any such controlling person may become subject under the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Registration Statement
or prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus relating to a Shelf Registration, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, but in each case only to the extent that the untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information pertaining to such Holder and
furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for inclusion therein; and, subject to the limitation set forth immediately preceding this clause, shall reimburse, as incurred, the Company for any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by the Company or any such controlling person in connection with investigating or defending any loss, claim, damage, liability or action in respect thereof. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which such
Holder may otherwise have to the Company or any of its controlling persons. 
  
 (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 5 of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including a governmental investigation), such indemnified party will, if a claim in
respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 5, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any
liability that it may have under subsection (a) or (b) above except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided further that the failure to notify the
indemnifying party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under subsection (a) or (b) above. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it
notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense
thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party
of its election so to assume the defense thereof the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 5 for any legal or other expenses, other than reasonable costs of investigation, subsequently incurred by such
indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of which any indemnified party is
or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter
of such action, and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party. 
  

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 5 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsections (a) or
(b) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to in subsection (a) or (b) above (i)
in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other from the exchange of the Securities, pursuant to the Registered Exchange
Offer, or, if applicable, the Shelf Registration (ii) if the allocation provided by the 
  

 11 

 foregoing clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the
relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or such Holder or such other indemnified party, as the case may be, on the other, and the
parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the
first sentence of this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim which is the subject of this subsection (d).
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5(d), the Holders of the Securities shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds received by such Holders from the sale of the Securities
pursuant to a Registration Statement exceeds the amount of damages which such Holders have otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this paragraph (d), each person, if any, who
controls such indemnified party within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such indemnified party and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities
Act or the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company. 
  
 (e) The agreements contained in this Section 5 shall survive the sale of the Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement and shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination or cancellation of
this Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of any indemnified party. 
  
 6. Additional Interest Under Certain Circumstances. (a) Additional interest (the “Additional Interest”) with respect to the Initial Securities shall be assessed as follows if any of the following
events occur (each such event in clauses (i) through (iii) below a “Registration Default”): 
  
 (i) the Exchange Offer Registration Statement required by this Agreement is not filed with the Commission on or prior to the
90th day after the Issue Date; 
  
 (ii) the Exchange Offer Registration Statement required by this Agreement is not declared effective by the
Commission on or prior to the 210th day after the Issue Date; 
  
 (iii) the Exchange Offer has not been consummated on or
before the 30th business day after the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is declared effective by the
Commission; 
  
 (iv) if obligated to file the
Shelf Registration Statement, the Company fails to file the Shelf Registration Statement with the Commission on or prior to the 60th day after the obligation to file a Shelf Registration Statement arises; 
  
 (v) if the Company is obligated to file the Shelf Registration Statement and the Shelf Registration Statement is not declared effective by
the Commission on or prior to the 120th day after the obligation to file a Shelf Registration Statement arises; or

  
 (vi) if after either the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement or the Shelf Registration Statement, as the case may be, is declared effective (A) such Registration Statement thereafter ceases to be effective; or (B) such Registration Statement or the related prospectus ceases to be usable
(except as permitted in paragraph (b) of this Section 6) in connection with resales of 
  

 12 

 Transfer Restricted Securities during the periods specified herein because either (1) any event occurs as
a result of which the related prospectus forming part of such Registration Statement would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made not misleading, or (2) it shall be necessary to amend such Registration Statement or supplement the related prospectus, to comply with the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or the respective rules thereunder. 

 
 Additional Interest shall accrue on the Initial Securities over and above the interest set
forth in the title of the Initial Securities from and including the date on which any such Registration Default shall occur to but excluding the date on which all such Registration Defaults have been cured, at a rate of 0.50% per annum;
provided, however, that Additional Interest on the Initial Securities may not accrue under more than one of the foregoing clauses (i) through (vi) at any one time and provided, further, however, that upon the cessation of
a Registration Default pursuant to any of the foregoing clauses (i) through (vi), Additional Interest on the Initial Securities as a result of such clause shall cease to accrue. 
  
 (b) A Registration Default referred to in Section 6(a)(vi)(B) hereof shall be deemed not to have occurred and be continuing
in relation to an Exchange Offer Registration Statement or the related prospectus or a Shelf Registration Statement or the related prospectus if (i) such Registration Default has occurred solely as a result of (x) the filing of a post-effective
amendment to such Registration Statement to incorporate annual audited financial information with respect to the Company where such post-effective amendment is not yet effective and needs to be declared effective to permit Holders to use the related
prospectus or (y) other material events, with respect to the Company that would need to be described in such Registration Statement or the related prospectus and (ii) in the case of clause (y), the Company is proceeding promptly and in good faith to
amend or supplement such Registration Statement and related prospectus to describe such events; provided, however, that in any case if such Registration Default occurs for a continuous period in excess of 30 days, Additional Interest shall be
payable in accordance with the above paragraph from the day such Registration Default occurs until such Registration Default is cured. 
  
 (c) Any amounts of Additional Interest due pursuant to clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of Section 6(a) above will be payable in cash on the regular interest
payment dates with respect to the Securities. The amount of Additional Interest will be determined by multiplying the applicable Additional Interest rate by the principal amount of the Initial Securities, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of
which is the number of days such Additional Interest rate was applicable during such period (determined on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months), and the denominator of which is 360. 
  
 (d) ”Transfer Restricted Securities” means each Security until the
earliest of (i) the date on which such Transfer Restricted Security has been exchanged by a person other than a broker-dealer for a freely transferable Exchange Security in the Registered Exchange Offer, (ii) following the exchange by a
broker-dealer in the Registered Exchange Offer of a Initial Security for an Exchange Security, the date on which such Exchange Security is sold to a purchaser who receives from such broker-dealer on or prior to the date of such sale a copy of the
prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, (iii) the date on which such Initial Security has been effectively registered under the Securities Act and disposed of in accordance with the Shelf Registration Statement or (iv) the
date on which such Initial Securities is distributed to the public pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or is saleable pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act. 
  
 7. Rules 144 and 144A. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to file the reports required to be filed by
it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act in a timely manner and, if at any time the Company is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the request of any Holder of Initial Securities, make publicly available other information so
long as necessary to permit sales of their securities pursuant to Rules 144 and 144A. The Company covenants that it will take such further action as any Holder of Initial Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to
time to enable 
  

 13 

 such Holder to sell Initial Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the
exemptions provided by Rules 144 and 144A (including the requirements of Rule 144A(d)(4)). Upon the request of any Holder of Initial Securities, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such
requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 7 shall be deemed to require the Company to register any of its securities pursuant to the Exchange Act. 
  
 8. Underwritten Registrations. If any of the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by any Shelf Registration are to
be sold in an underwritten offering, the investment banker or investment bankers and manager or managers that will administer the offering (“Managing Underwriters”) will be selected by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of such Transfer Restricted Securities to be included in such offering. 
  
 No person may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder unless such person (i) agrees to sell such person’s Transfer Restricted Securities on the basis reasonably provided in any underwriting
arrangements approved by the persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms
of such underwriting arrangements. 
  
 9. Miscellaneous.

  
 (a) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this
Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, except by the Company and the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Securities affected by such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consents.

 (i) Securities Held by the Company. Whenever the consent or approval of Holders of a specified percentage of principal amount of Securities is
required hereunder, Securities held by the Company or its affiliates (other than subsequent Holders of Securities if such subsequent Holders are deemed to be affiliates solely by reason of their holdings of such Securities) shall not be counted in
determining whether such consent or approval was given by the Holders of such required percentage. 
  
 (j) Exoneration of Owner Trustee. The Company and each Initial Purchaser hereby agree that USB shall not have any personal liability whatsoever to
such parties for any claim based on or otherwise in respect of this Agreement; it being expressly understood that all obligations of the Owner Trustee to such parties under this Agreement are solely non-recourse obligations and that all such
personal liability of USB is expressly waived and that all such personal liability of USB is expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as consideration for, the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Owner Trustee, solely as
Owner Trustee, and this Agreement is executed and delivered by the Owner Trustee solely in the exercise of the powers expressly conferred upon it as trustee under the Trust Agreement (as defined in the Indenture); provided, however,
that nothing herein shall be deemed to prevent recourse to and enforcement against the Trust Estate (as defined in the Participation Agreement) for performance of the covenants of the Owner Trustee contained in this Agreement or shall be deemed to
excuse USB for liability for its own willful misconduct or negligence. 
  
 If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding of our agreement, please sign and return to the Company a counterpart hereof, whereupon this instrument, along with all counterparts, will become a binding agreement among the
several Initial Purchasers, the Owner Trustee and the Company in accordance with its terms.

 ANNEX A 
  
 Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Securities for its own account pursuant to the Exchange Offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus
in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities. The Letter of Transmittal states that by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning
of the Securities Act. This Prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of Exchange Securities received in exchange for Initial Securities where such Initial
Securities were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. The Company has agreed that, for a period of 180 days after the Expiration Date (as defined herein), it will make this Prospectus
available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale. See “Plan of Distribution.” 
  
  

 ANNEX B 
  
  
 Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Securities for its own account in
exchange for Securities, where such Initial Securities were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such
Exchange Securities. See “Plan of Distribution.” 
  
  

 ANNEX C 
  
  
 PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION 
  
 Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Securities for its own account
pursuant to the Exchange Offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities. This Prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in
connection with resales of Exchange Securities received in exchange for Initial Securities where such Initial Securities were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. The Company has agreed that, for a period of
180 days after the Expiration Date, it will make this prospectus, as amended or supplemented, available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale. In addition, until
                    , 200    , all dealers effecting transactions in the Exchange Securities may be required to deliver a
prospectus.(1) 
  
 Neither the Company nor the Owner Trustee will receive any proceeds from any sale of Exchange Securities by broker-dealers.
Exchange Securities received by broker-dealers for their own account pursuant to the Exchange Offer may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through the writing of options
on the Exchange Securities or a combination of such methods of resale, at market prices prevailing at the time of resale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or negotiated prices. Any such resale may be made directly to purchasers or
to or through brokers or dealers who may receive compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any such broker-dealer or the purchasers of any such Exchange Securities. Any broker-dealer that resells Exchange Securities that were
received by it for its own account pursuant to the Exchange Offer and any broker or dealer that participates in a distribution of such Exchange Securities may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and
any profit on any such resale of Exchange Securities and any commission or concessions received by any such persons may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. The Letter of Transmittal states that, by acknowledging that
it will deliver and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act. 
  
 For a period of 180 days after the Expiration Date the Company will promptly send additional copies of this Prospectus and
any amendment or supplement to this Prospectus to any broker-dealer that requests such documents in the Letter of Transmittal. The Company has agreed to pay all expenses incident to the Exchange Offer (including the expenses of one counsel for the

 THIS SECOND SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE dated as of June 30, 2005 to the TRUST INDENTURE, SECURITY AGREEMENT
AND MORTGAGE dated as of September 1, 1987 (the “Original Indenture”), as supplemented by the FIRST SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE dated as of September 29, 1992 (the “First Supplemental Indenture”, and the Original

 R E C I T A L S : 
  
 A. The Owner Trustee, KGE and the Indenture Trustee entered into the Original Indenture, pursuant to which the Initial Series Bonds were authenticated and
delivered. 
  
 B. The Original Indenture was filed for record as a

on that date. 
  
 D. On September 29, 1992, the Owner Trustee and

 E. The Owner Trustee and KGE have

 2

Second Supplemental Indenture and in the Restricted Legend and agrees that it will register the transfer of such 2005 Series Bond only as provided in this Second Supplemental Indenture. The Bond Registrar shall not register a transfer of any 2005
Series Bond unless such transfer complies with the restrictions on transfer of such 2005 Series Bond set forth in this Second Supplemental Indenture. In connection with any registration of transfer of 2005 Series Bonds, each Holder agrees by its

exemption from, or a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act; provided that the Bond Registrar shall not be required to determine (but may rely on a determination made by KGE with respect to) the sufficiency
of any such certifications, legal opinions or other information. 
  
 The Bond Registrar shall retain copies of all letters, notices and other written communications received pursuant to Section 1.05 of the Indenture or this Section 5 in accordance with its customary policy. KGE shall have the right to
inspect and make copies of all such letters, notices or other written communications at any reasonable time upon the giving of reasonable written notice to the Bond Registrar.

state securities law. 
  
 The Indenture Trustee shall have no
obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Second Supplemental Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any registrations of transfer of any interest in any 2005
Series Bond (including any transfers between or among members of, or participants in, the Depositary or beneficial owners of interests in any Global Bond) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are
expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Second Supplemental Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof. 
  
 (d) A Global Bond may be transferred, in whole but not in part, only to
another nominee of the Depositary, or to a successor Depositary selected or approved by the Owner Trustee or to a nominee of such successor Depositary. 
  
 (e) If at any time the Depositary notifies the Owner Trustee that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary, and a successor Depositary for such
series is not appointed by the Owner Trustee within 90 days after the Owner Trustee receives such notice, the Owner Trustee will execute, and, subject to Article Two of the Indenture, the Indenture Trustee, upon the written order of the Owner
Trustee, will authenticate and make available for delivery the 2005 Series Bonds in definitive registered form without coupons, in authorized denominations, and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Bond in

Indenture, the Indenture Trustee, upon receipt of an Owner Trustee Certificate evidencing such instruction by the Owner Trustee, will authenticate and deliver the 2005 Series Bonds in definitive registered form without coupons, in authorized
denominations, and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Bond in exchange for the Global Bond. Upon the exchange of the Global Bond for such 2005 Series Bonds in definitive registered form without coupons, in
authorized denominations, the Global Bond shall be cancelled by the Indenture Trustee. Such Bonds in definitive registered form issued in exchange for the Global Bond shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the
Depositary, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee shall deliver such Bonds to the Depositary for delivery to the Persons in whose names such Bonds
are so registered.

 [FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURED FACILITY BOND] 
  
 This Bond is one of an authorized issue of Bonds of the Owner Trustee known as its “Secured Facility Bonds, Refunding
Series 2005” (herein called the “Bonds”) issued under, and all equally and ratably secured by, a Trust Indenture, Security Agreement and Mortgage (the “Original Indenture”) dated as of September 1, 1987, as
supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture ( the “First Supplemental Indenture”) dated as of September 29, 1992 and the Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of June 30, 2005 (the “Second Supplemental
Indenture” and, collectively with the Original Indenture and the First Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”), among the Owner Trustee, Kansas Gas and Electric Company, a Kansas corporation (herein called
“KGE”), and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, a New York banking corporation, as Indenture Trustee (herein called the “Indenture Trustee”, which term includes any successor Indenture Trustee under the
Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto, including the First Supplemental Indenture and Second Supplemental Indenture, reference is hereby made for a description of the nature and extent of the property assigned,
pledged, transferred and mortgaged thereunder, the respective rights of the Holders of said Bonds and of the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee in respect of such security, and the terms upon which said Bonds are to be authenticated and
delivered. The Indenture permits the issuance of additional series of bonds for the purposes and as provided therein. 
  
 The principal of, premium (if any), interest and Additional Interest (if any) on this Bond are payable from, and secured by, the Indenture Estate and the
income and proceeds received by the Indenture Trustee therefrom, and all payments of principal, premium (if any), interest and Additional Interest (if any) shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. 
  
 All payments of principal, premium (if any), interest and Additional Interest
(if any) to be made hereunder and under the Indenture shall be made only from the Indenture Estate or the income and proceeds received by the Indenture Trustee therefrom, and all payments of principal, premium (if any), interest and Additional
Interest (if any) shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. Each Holder hereof, by its acceptance of this Bond, agrees that (a) except as expressly provided in the Indenture, it will look solely to the Indenture Estate or the
income and proceeds received by the Indenture Trustee therefrom to the extent available for distribution to the Holder hereof as provided in the Indenture and (b) neither the Owner Participant nor the Owner Trustee, in its individual capacity, nor
the Indenture Trustee, in its individual capacity, is liable to the Holder hereof for any amounts payable under this Bond or the Indenture or, except as provided in the Indenture, for any liability under the Indenture. 
  
 The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of KGE and the Owner Trustee and the rights of the Holders of the Bonds under the Indenture at any time by KGE and the Owner Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not 

  

 A-6 

 
less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds and all other series of bonds issued under the Indenture at the time Outstanding. The
Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds and all other series of bonds issued under the Indenture at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all the Bonds
and all the bonds of such other series, to waive compliance by KGE and the Owner Trustee 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
Bond shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Bond and of any Bond issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon
this Bond. 
  
 The Bonds are limited in aggregate principal amount
to $320,000,000. 
  
 In addition to the purchase rights described
below and as more fully described in the Second Supplemental Indenture, the Bonds are subject to mandatory redemption, in whole but not in part, at 100% of the principal amount thereof together in each case with accrued and unpaid interest, if any,
and Additional Interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date, under any of the following circumstances: 
  
 (i) The receipt of payment of the applicable Casualty Value under the Lease upon the occurrence of an Event of Loss, unless, in connection
with an Event of Loss described in clause (e) of the definition thereof, KGE assumes the Bonds then Outstanding pursuant to Section 2.16 of the Indenture; or 
  

(ii) The receipt of payment of the applicable purchase price or Casualty Value resulting from a termination of the Lease pursuant to
Section 7 thereof; or 
  
 (iii) The receipt of
payment of the applicable purchase price or Casualty Value due upon an exercise by KGE of its option to purchase the Assets under subsection 6.1(c)(iii) of the Lease, unless in connection therewith KGE assumes the Bonds then Outstanding pursuant to
Section 2.16 of the Indenture; or 
  
 (iv) The
receipt of payment of the applicable purchase price or Casualty Value due upon the exercise by KGE of its option to purchase the Assets under subsection 6.1(c)(ii) of the Lease in connection with a required Nonseverable Alteration, as contemplated
by Section 11.4 of the Lease, unless in connection therewith KGE assumes the Bonds then Outstanding pursuant to Section 2.16 of the Indenture. 
  
 The Bonds are also subject to mandatory redemption pursuant to sinking fund installments, as more fully provided in the Second Supplemental Indenture,

  

 A-7 

 
at 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and Additional Interest, if any, to the Redemption Date, on the
dates and in the respective principal amounts (before taking into account certain adjustments as indicated below) set forth in the following table:

 In the event of any
partial redemption of Bonds (other than pursuant to the aforementioned sinking fund), the principal amount of Bonds to be redeemed thereafter pursuant to the sinking fund schedule indicated above shall be proportionately reduced as provided in the
Indenture. 
  
 Selection of the Bonds to be redeemed pursuant to
each such sinking fund payment shall be performed using such method as the Indenture Trustee deems fair and appropriate. 
  
 The Bonds shall be subject to special mandatory redemption, in whole but not in part, at the applicable redemption prices set forth under Section 6.02(c)
of the Indenture upon the receipt of payment of the applicable purchase price upon the exercise by KGE of its option to purchase the Assets on September 29, 2015 or September 29, 2020 under Section 6.l(c)(i) of the Lease or, in the case of a
Nonseverable Alteration not required by Section 11.4 of the Lease, Section 6.1(c)(ii) of the Lease unless, in either case, KGE shall assume the 2005 Series Bonds then Outstanding pursuant to Section 2.16 of the Indenture. 
  
 The Bonds are subject to redemption at the option of the Owner Trustee, as a
whole at any time and in part from time to time, as provided below: 
  
 (i) At any time from the date hereof to, but not including September 29, 2015, the Owner Trustee may redeem all or any portion of the Bonds then outstanding, after giving the required notice under the Indenture, at a redemption price equal
to the greater of: 
  
 (a) 100% of the principal amount of the
Bonds then outstanding, or 
  

 A-8 

 (b) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of the principal amount of the
Bonds then outstanding and interest thereon (exclusive of interest to the Redemption Date) 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 25 basis
points, 
  
 plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest, if
any, and Additional Interest, if any, to the Redemption Date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date). 
  
 (ii) On and after September 29, 2015, the Bonds shall be redeemable prior to
Maturity at the option of the Owner Trustee, in whole or in part, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and Additional Interest, if any, to, but excluding, the
Redemption Date. 
  
 In the case of any redemption of Bonds,
unpaid installments of interest maturing on or prior to the Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of such Bonds of record at the close of business on the relevant regular or subsequent Record Date referred to on the face hereof. 

 
 In the event any of the Bonds are called for redemption, the Indenture
Trustee shall give notice, in the name of the Owner Trustee, of the redemption of such Bonds. Notice of redemption of Bonds (including redemption through the operation of the sinking fund with respect to any series) shall be given by
first—class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, to each Holder of Bonds to be redeemed, at his address appearing on the Bond Register. 
  
 With respect to any notice of redemption of Bonds at the option of the Owner
Trustee as described above, unless, upon the giving of such notice, such Bonds shall be deemed to have been paid within the meaning of the Indenture, such notice shall state that such redemption shall be conditional upon the receipt by the Indenture
Trustee on or prior to the date fixed for such redemption of moneys sufficient to pay the principal of, premium, if any, interest and Additional Interest, if any, on such Bonds to be redeemed, and that, if such moneys shall not have been so
received, said notice shall be of no force and effect and the Owner Trustee shall not be required to redeem such Bonds. In the event that such notice of redemption contains such a condition and such moneys are not so received, the redemption shall
not be made and the Indenture Trustee shall within a reasonable time thereafter give notice, in the manner in which the notice of redemption was given, that such moneys were not so received. 
  

 A-9 

 If a notice of redemption shall be unconditional, or if the conditions of a conditional notice of
redemption shall have been satisfied, then upon presentation and surrender of Bonds so called for redemption at the corporate trust office of the Paying Agent, such Bonds shall be redeemed. 
  
 The Indenture provides that Bonds of a denomination larger than $1,000 may be
redeemed in part ($1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) and that upon any partial redemption of any such Bond the same may be surrendered at the corporate trust office of the Paying Agent in exchange for one or more new Bonds for the unredeemed
portion thereof. 
  
 Bonds (or portions thereof as aforesaid) for
whose redemption and payment provision is made in accordance with the Indenture shall thereupon cease to be entitled to the Lien of the Indenture and shall cease to bear interest from and after the date fixed for redemption. 
  
 If an Event of Default under the Indenture shall occur and be continuing, the
principal of this Bond may, subject to certain rights of the Owner Trustee or the Owner Participant contained or referred to in the Indenture, become or be declared immediately due and payable, in the manner and with the effect provided in the
Indenture. 
  
 Under certain circumstances, the Owner Trustee may
make payments or perform obligations of KGE under the Indenture and the Lease. Exercise of the Owner Trustee’s limited right to cure would prevent the Indenture Trustee and the Holder hereof from exercising any remedies otherwise available
under the Indenture as a result of KGE’s failure to make such payments or perform such obligations. 
  
 Following a declaration of acceleration of the Bonds, the Owner Trustee may, subject to the conditions specified in the Indenture, purchase all of the
Bonds in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. Each Holder of this Bond, by accepting the same, agrees, subject to the provisions of the Indenture, that, upon payment to the Indenture Trustee of all amounts payable on the Bonds and upon
satisfaction of all of the conditions contained in the Indenture pertaining to the purchase of Bonds by the Owner Trustee, such Holder shall be deemed to sell this Bond to the Owner Trustee. 
  
 The Lien upon the Indenture Estate is subject to being legally discharged
prior to the Maturity of this Bond upon the deposit with the Indenture Trustee of money or certain obligations of the United States of America sufficient to pay the principal of, premium (if any), interest and Additional Interest (if any) on this
Bond when due, all in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Indenture. 
  
 The Bond is transferable by the registered owner hereof in person or by attorney authorized in writing, at the corporate trust office of the Bond Registrar, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (or if such office is
not in the Borough 

  

 A-10 

 
of Manhattan, The City of New York, at either such office or an office to be maintained in such Borough), upon surrender of this Bond, and, upon any such
transfer, a new Bond of the same Stated Maturity of principal for the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the transferee in exchange herefor. 
  
 The Bonds are issuable only as registered Bonds without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. As provided in, and subject
to the provisions of, the Indenture, Bonds of a particular Stated Maturity of principal are exchangeable for other Bonds of such Stated Maturity of a different authorized denomination or denominations, as requested by the Holder surrendering the
same. 
  
 No service charge will be made to any Holder of Bonds
for any such transfer or exchange, but the Bond Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 
  
 Prior to due presentation of this Bond for registration of transfer, the Person in whose name this Bond is registered shall
be deemed to be the owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment as herein provided and for all other purposes whether or not this Bond shall be overdue, regardless of any notice to anyone to the contrary. 
  
 As provided in the Indenture, the Indenture and the Bonds shall be governed
by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.
