 WHEREAS, Section 8 of the Mortgage provides that the form of each series of bonds (other
than the First Series) issued thereunder and of the coupons to be attached to the coupon bonds of such series shall be established by Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company and that the form of such series, as established by said Board
of Directors, shall specify the descriptive title of the bonds and various other terms thereof, and may also contain such provisions not inconsistent with the provisions of the Mortgage as the Board of Directors may, in its discretion, cause to be
inserted therein expressing or referring to the terms and conditions upon which such bonds are to be issued and/or secured under the Mortgage; and 
 WHEREAS, Section 120 of the Mortgage provides, among other things, that any power, privilege or right expressly or impliedly reserved to or in any way conferred upon the Company by any provision of the Mortgage whether such power,

enter into any further covenants, limitations or restrictions for the benefit of any one or more series of bonds issued thereunder, or the Company may cure any ambiguity contained therein or in any supplemental indenture, or may establish the terms
and provisions of any series of bonds other than said First Series, by an instrument in writing executed and acknowledged by the Company in such manner as would be necessary to entitle a conveyance of real estate to record in all of the states in
which any property at the time subject to the lien of the Mortgage shall be situated; and 
  

 -12- 

 WHEREAS, the Company now desires to create a new series of bonds; and 
 WHEREAS, the execution and delivery by the Company of this Forty-ninth Supplemental Indenture, and the terms of the Bonds of the Fifty-fourth Series,

 IN TRUST NEVERTHELESS, for the same purposes and upon the same terms, trusts and conditions and subject
to and with the same provisos and covenants as are set forth in the Mortgage, as supplemented, this Forty-ninth Supplemental Indenture being supplemental thereto. 
 AND IT IS HEREBY COVENANTED by the Company that all the terms, conditions, provisos, covenants and provisions contained in the Mortgage, as supplemented, shall affect and apply to the property hereinbefore described
and conveyed and to the estate, rights, obligations and duties of the Company and Trustees and the beneficiaries of the trust with respect to said property, and to the Trustees and their successors as Trustees of said property in the same manner and
with the same effect as if the said property had been owned by the Company at the time of the execution of the Mortgage, and had been specifically and at length described in and conveyed to the Trustees by the Mortgage as a part of the property
therein stated to be conveyed. 
 The Company further covenants and agrees to and with the Trustees and their successors in said trust under
the Mortgage, as follows: 
 ARTICLE I 
 FIFTY-FOURTH SERIES OF BONDS 
 SECTION 1. There shall be a series of bonds designated “6.53% Series due December 15,
2037” (herein sometimes referred to as the “Fifty-fourth Series”), each of which shall also bear the descriptive title, First Mortgage Bond, and the form thereof, which is established by Resolution of the Board of Directors of the
Company, is attached hereto as Exhibit A. Bonds of the Fifty-fourth Series shall be limited to $175,000,000 in aggregate principal amount, except as provided in Section 16 of the Mortgage, shall mature on December 15, 2037, and shall be
issued as fully registered bonds in denominations of One Thousand Dollars and in any multiple or multiples of One Thousand Dollars. Bonds of the Fifty-fourth Series shall bear interest from the date of their issuance at the rate of 6.53% per
annum, payable semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning June 15, 2008. The principal of and interest on bonds of the Fifty-fourth Series shall be payable at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for public and private debts, except as follows. Payments in respect of the Bonds of the Fifty-fourth Series
represented by Global Bonds (as defined below) (including principal, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest) will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by The Depository Trust Company (together with any
successor, the “Depository”). Payments of interest in respect of physical bonds will be made by mailing a check to the registered address of each Holder thereof; provided, however, that payments on a physical bond will be made by
wire transfer to a U.S. Dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States if such holder certifies to the Company that it is a Holder of Bonds of the Fifty-fourth Series in an aggregate principal amount equal to or greater
than $10,000,000 and elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Corporate Trustee to such effect designating such account no later than 30 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the
Corporate Trustee may accept in its discretion). 
  

 -15- 

 SECTION 2. Bonds of the Fifty-fourth Series shall be dated as in Section 10 of the Mortgage
provided. 
 SECTION 3. The Bonds of the Fifty-fourth Series, upon the mailing of notice and in the manner provided in Article X of the
Mortgage (except that no published notice shall be required for the Bonds of the Fifty-fourth Series) and with the effect provided in Section 54 thereof, shall be redeemable at the option of the Company, as a whole at any time or in part from
time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Bonds of the Fifty-fourth Series to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest of the principal amount being redeemed to the date of redemption plus the Make-Whole
Amount applicable thereto. Notwithstanding Section 52 of the Mortgage, in the event a partial redemption, Bonds of the Fifty-fourth Series will be redeemed on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such method as the Corporate Trustee deems fair and
appropriate. 
 “Make-Whole Amount” means, with respect to any Bond of the Fifty-fourth Series, an amount equal to the
excess, if any, of the Discounted Value of the Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to the Called Principal of such Bond of the Fifty-fourth Series over the amount of such Called Principal, provided that the Make-Whole Amount may in no
event be less than zero. For the purposes of determining the Make-Whole Amount, the following terms have the following meanings: 
 “Called Principal” means, with respect to any Bond of the Fifty-fourth Series, the principal of such Bond of the Fifty-fourth Series that is to be redeemed. 
 “Discounted Value” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Bond of the Fifty-fourth Series, the amount obtained by
discounting to present value all Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to such Called Principal from their respective scheduled due dates to the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in accordance with accepted financial
practice and at a discount factor (applied on the same periodic basis as that on which interest on the bond of this Series is payable) equal to the Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Called Principal. 
 “Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Bond of the Fifty-fourth Series, .50% over the yield to maturity
implied by (i) the yields reported as of 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, on the display designated as “Page PX1” (or such other
display as may replace Page PX1) on Bloomberg Financial Markets (“Bloomberg”) or, if Page PX1 (or its successor screen on Bloomberg) is unavailable, the Telerate Access Service screen which corresponds most closely to
Page PX1 for the most recently issued actively traded U.S. Treasury securities having a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date, or (ii) if such yields are not reported as of such
time or the yields reported as of such time are not ascertainable (including by way of interpolation), the Treasury Constant Maturity Series Yields reported, for the latest day for which such yields have been so reported as of the second Business
Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in Federal Reserve Statistical 

  

 -16- 

 
Release H.15 (519) (or any comparable successor publication) for actively traded U.S. Treasury securities having a constant maturity equal to the
Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. Such implied yield will be determined, if necessary, by (a) converting U.S. Treasury bill quotations to bond equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial
practice and (b) interpolating linearly between (1) the actively traded U.S. Treasury security with the maturity closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) the actively traded U.S. Treasury security with the
maturity closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable bond of this Series. 
 “Remaining Average Life” means, with respect to any Called Principal, the number of years (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth year)
obtained by dividing (i) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (a) that portion of each Remaining Scheduled Payment that constitutes a scheduled principal payment with respect to such Called Principal by (b) the number of
years (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth year) that will elapse between the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal and the scheduled due date of such Remaining Scheduled Payment, by (ii) such Called Principal. 
 “Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Bond of the Fifty-fourth Series, all payments of such
Called Principal and interest thereon that would be due after the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal if no payment of such Called Principal were made prior to its scheduled due date, provided that if such Settlement Date is
not a date on which interest payments are due to be made under the terms of the Bonds of the Fifty-fourth Series, then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to such Settlement
Date and required to be paid on such Settlement Date pursuant to the terms of this Supplemental Indenture. 
 “Settlement
Date” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Bond of the Fifty-fourth Series, the date on which such Called Principal is to be redeemed. 
 SECTION 4. Bonds of the Fifty-fourth Series shall initially be offered and sold in reliance on the exemption contained under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) to an
institution which is both an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act (an “Institutional Accredited Investor”) and a qualified institutional buyer (“QIB”) as
defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act. Bonds of the Fifty-fourth Series shall be issued initially in the form of one or more permanent global bonds in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons with the applicable global
securities legend and restricted securities legend set forth below (a “Global Bond”). Each Global Bond shall be deposited on behalf of the purchasers of Bonds of the Fifty-fourth Series represented thereby with the Corporate Trustee, as
securities custodian (or with such other securities custodian as The Depository may direct), and registered in the name of the Depository or a nominee of the thereof, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Corporate Trustee as
provided herein and in the Mortgage. The aggregate principal amount of the Global Bonds may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Corporate Trustee and the Depository or its nominee as hereinafter
provided. 
  

 -17- 

 Members of, or participants in, the Depository (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under
this Supplemental Indenture with respect to any Global Bond held on their behalf by the Depository, or by the Corporate Trustee as the securities custodian or under such Global Bond, and the Company, the Corporate Trustee and any agent of the
Company or the Corporate Trustee shall be entitled to treat the Depository as the absolute owner of such Global Bond for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Corporate Trustee or any
agent of the Company or the Corporate Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depository or impair, as between the Depository and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices
of such Depository governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Bond. 
 Except as expressly
provided in Section 6 hereof, owners of beneficial interests in Global Bonds shall not be entitled to receive physical bonds. 
 SECTION
5. The transfer and exchange of Global Bonds or beneficial interests therein shall be effected through the Depository, in accordance with this Supplemental Indenture (including applicable restrictions on transfer set forth herein, if any) and the
procedures of the Depository therefor. A transferor of a beneficial interest in a Global Bond shall deliver to the Company office or agency responsible for maintaining a bond register for the registration of Bonds of the Fifty-fourth Series and
registration of transfers thereof (the “Bond Registrar”) a written order given in accordance with the Depository’s procedures containing information regarding the participant account of the Depository to be credited with a beneficial
interest in the Global Bond. The Bond Registrar shall, in accordance with such written order, instruct the Depository to credit to the account of the person specified in such written order a beneficial interest in the Global Bond and to debit from
the account of the Person making the transfer and exchange the beneficial interest in the Global Bond being transferred and exchanged. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Supplemental Indenture (other than the provisions set forth in Section 6), a Global Bond may not be transferred or exchanged as a whole except by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository
or by a nominee of the Depository to the Depository or another nominee of the Depository or by the Depository or any such nominee to a successor Depository or a nominee of such successor Depository. 
 In the event that a Global Bond or physical bond is transferred and exchanged for a physical bond pursuant to Section 6, such Global Bond or
physical bond may be exchanged only in accordance with such procedures as are substantially consistent with the provisions of this Section 5 and such other procedures as may from time to time be adopted by the Company including: 
 (A) if such Bonds of the Fifty-fourth Series are being delivered to the Bond Registrar by a holder for registration in the name of such holder, without
transfer, a certification from such Holder to that effect (in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto); or 
  

 -18- 

 (B) if such Bonds of the Fifty-fourth Series are being transferred to an Institutional Accredited
Investor, pursuant to a private placement exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, a certification to that effect from such Holder (in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto) and a certification from the
applicable transferee (in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto) and an opinion of counsel to that effect if the Company or the Corporate Trustee so requests; or 
 (C) if such Bonds of the Fifty-fourth Series are being transferred in reliance on and in compliance with another exemption from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act, a certification to that effect from such Holder (in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto) and an opinion of counsel to that effect if the Company or the Corporate Trustee so requests. 
 Prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date, each Bond of the Fifty-fourth Series shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:

 THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY
OTHER STATE OR OTHER JURISDICTION. NEITHER THIS SECURITY NOR ANY INTEREST OR PARTICIPATION HEREIN MAY BE REOFFERED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, ENCUMBERED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR UNLESS SUCH
TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM, OR NOT SUBJECT TO, SUCH REGISTRATION. 
 THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY, BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, AGREES ON ITS OWN
BEHALF AND ON BEHALF OF ANY INVESTOR ACCOUNT FOR WHICH IT HAS PURCHASED SECURITIES TO OFFER, SELL OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER SUCH SECURITY, PRIOR TO THE DATE (THE “RESALE RESTRICTION TERMINATION DATE”) THAT IS TWO YEARS AFTER THE LATER OF THE
ORIGINAL ISSUE DATE HEREOF AND THE LAST DATE ON WHICH KANSAS GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY (THE “COMPANY”) OR ANY AFFILIATE OF THE COMPANY WAS THE OWNER OF THIS SECURITY (OR ANY PREDECESSOR TO SUCH SECURITY), ONLY (A) TO THE COMPANY,
(B) PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT THAT HAS BEEN DECLARED EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (C) FOR SO LONG AS THIS SECURITY IS ELIGIBLE FOR RESALE PURSUANT TO RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT TO A PERSON IT REASONABLY BELIEVES
IS A “QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER” AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT THAT PURCHASES SUCH SECURITY FOR ITS OWN ACCOUNT OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OF A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER TO WHOM NOTICE IS GIVEN THAT THE TRANSFER IS BEING
MADE IN RELIANCE ON RULE 144A, (D) TO AN INSTITUTIONAL “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” WITHIN THE MEANING OF RULE 501(a)(1), (2), (3) OR (7) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT ACQUIRING THE SECURITY FOR ITS OWN ACCOUNT OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OF
ANOTHER INSTITUTIONAL ACCREDITED INVESTOR, IN EACH CASE FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES AND NOT 

  

 -19- 

 
WITH A VIEW TO OR FOR OFFER OR SALE IN CONNECTION WITH ANY DISTRIBUTION IN VIOLATION OF THE SECURITIES ACT, OR (E) PURSUANT TO ANOTHER AVAILABLE
EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT, SUBJECT TO THE COMPANY’S AND THE CORPORATE TRUSTEE’S RIGHT PRIOR TO ANY SUCH SALE OR TRANSFER (i) PURSUANT TO CLAUSES (D) OR (E) TO REQUIRE THE DELIVERY OF
AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, CERTIFICATION AND/OR OTHER INFORMATION SATISFACTORY TO EACH OF THEM AND (ii) IN EACH OF THE FOREGOING CASES, TO REQUIRE THAT A CERTIFICATE OF TRANSFER IN THE FORM APPEARING ON THIS SECURITY IS COMPLETED AND DELIVERED BY
THE TRANSFEROR TO THE CORPORATE TRUSTEE. THIS LEGEND WILL BE REMOVED UPON THE REQUEST OF THE HOLDER AFTER THE RESALE RESTRICTION TERMINATION DATE. 
 At such time as all beneficial interests in a Global Bond have either been exchanged for physical bonds, redeemed, purchased or canceled, such Global Bond shall be returned to the Depository for cancellation or retained and canceled by the
Corporate Trustee. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Bond is exchanged for physical bonds, redeemed, purchased or canceled, the principal amount of Bonds represented by such Global Bond shall be reduced
and an adjustment shall be made on the books and records of the securities custodian with respect to such Global Bond. 
 The Corporate
Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of a Global Bond, Agent Member or other person with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depository or its nominee or of any Agent Member, with respect to any
ownership interest in the Bonds of the Fifty-fourth Series or with respect to the delivery to any Agent Member, beneficial owner or other person (other than the Depository) of any notice (including any notice of redemption) or the payment of any
amount, under or with respect to such Bonds of the Fifty-fourth Series. All notices and communications to be given to the holders and all payments to be made to holders under the Bonds of the Fifty-fourth Series shall be given or made only to or
upon the order of the registered holders (which shall be the Depository or its nominee in the case of a Global Bond). The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Bond shall be exercised only through the Depository subject to the applicable rules
and procedures of the Depository. The Corporate Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depository with respect to its Agent Members and any beneficial owners. 
 The Corporate Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under
this Supplemental Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Bond of the Fifty-fourth Series (including any transfers between or among Agent Members or beneficial owners 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 the Indenture. 
  

 -20- 

 SECTION 6. A Global Bond deposited with the Depository or with the Corporate Trustee as securities
custodian pursuant to Section 4 shall be transferred to the beneficial owners thereof in the form of physical bonds in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Bond, in exchange for such Global Bond, only if
such transfer is required by the third paragraph of this Section 6. 
 Any Global Bond that is transferable to the beneficial owners
thereof pursuant to this Section shall be surrendered by the Depository to the Corporate Trustee at its corporate trust office to be so transferred, in whole or from time to time in part, without charge, and the Corporate Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, upon such transfer of each portion of such Global Bond, an equal aggregate principal amount of physical bonds of authorized denominations. Any portion of a Global Bond transferred pursuant to this Section shall be
executed, authenticated and delivered only in denominations of $1,000 principal amount and any integral multiple thereof and registered in such names as the Depository shall direct. 
 The Company shall promptly make available to the Corporate Trustee a reasonable supply of physical bonds in definitive, fully registered form without
interest coupons if: (i) the Depository notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as a Depository for the Global Bond or if at any time the Depository ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, as
amended, and a successor Depository is not appointed by the Company within 90 days; or (ii) the Company, at its option, executes and delivers to the Corporate Trustee an order that the Bonds of the Fifty-fourth Series shall be so exchangeable
and the transfer so registrable. 
 In all cases, physical bonds delivered in exchange for any Global Bond or beneficial interests in such
Global Bond will be registered in the names, and issued in any approved denominations, requested by or on behalf of the Depository, in accordance with its customary procedures. Any physical bond issued in exchange for an interest in a Global Bond
prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date will bear the restricted securities legend that is borne by such Global Bond. Any such exchange will be effected through the DTC’s Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system and an appropriate
adjustment will be made in the records of the Securities Custodian to reflect a decrease in the principal amount of the relevant Global Bond. 
 SECTION 7. The Company may deliver to the Corporate Trustee in substitution for any bonds of the
Fifty-fourth Series, mortgage bonds or other similar instruments of the Company or any successor entity, whether by merger, combination or acquisition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or otherwise, issued under a mortgage
and deed of trust or similar instrument of the Company or any successor entity in like principal amount of like term and bearing the same rate of interest as the bonds of the Fifty-fourth Series (such substituted bonds hereinafter being referred to
as the “Substituted Mortgage Bonds”). The Substituted Mortgage Bonds may only be delivered to the Corporate Trustee (A) upon execution and delivery of a mortgage and deed of trust or similar instrument which, among other things,
contains requirements (i) for the delivery of net earnings certificates, on terms and conditions and in circumstances consistent with the requirements of the Mortgage (except that the ratio of two and one-half (2 1/2) times contained in Section 27 of the Mortgage may be replaced with a ratio of two (2) times),
(ii) that the principal amount of bonds authenticated on the basis of property additions not exceed 70% of the lesser of cost or fair market value thereof, (iii) that property and cash be released from the lien of such instrument upon
terms and conditions consistent with the requirements of the 

  

 -21- 

 
Mortgage, (iv) that the Company provide for maintenance and repair expenditures in a manner substantially consistent with Section 38 of the
Mortgage and (v) that bonds may be accelerated by the holders of 25% of the aggregate principal amount of all bonds outstanding under such instrument, and (B) upon receipt by the Corporate Trustee of (i) ratings, at the Company’s
expense, of the original bonds from both Moody’s and S&P (as hereinafter defined), to the extent the original bonds were not so rated, such ratings not giving effect to any downgrade following the announcement of any transaction related to

 Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 In connection with our proposed purchase of $[            ] aggregate principal amount of First Mortgage Bonds, 6.53% Series due December 15, 2037 (the

 1. We understand that the Bonds have not been registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or under any other applicable securities laws, and may not be sold except as permitted in the following sentence. We agree on our own behalf and on behalf of any investor
account for which we are purchasing the Bonds to offer, sell or otherwise transfer such Bonds prior to the date which is two years (or such shorter period of time as permitted by Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act) after the later of the date of
original issue and the last date on which the Company or any affiliate of the Company was the owner of such Bonds, or any predecessor thereto (the “Resale Restriction Termination Date”) only (a) to the Company, (b) pursuant to a
registration statement that has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), (c) for so long as the Bonds are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act, to a person we
reasonably believe is a qualified institutional buyer under Rule 144A (a “QIB”) that purchases for its own account or for the account of a QIB to whom notice is given that the transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, (d) to an
institutional “accredited investor” within the meaning of subparagraph (a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Rule 501 under the Securities Act (an “Institutional Accredited Investor”) that is acquiring the Bonds for its own
account or for the account of another Institutional Accredited Investor for investment purposes and not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act and any other applicable
securities laws, or (e) pursuant to any other available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, subject in each of the foregoing cases to any requirement of law that the disposition of our property and the property
of such investor account or accounts be at all times within our or their control. The foregoing restrictions on resale will not apply subsequent to the Resale Restriction Termination Date. If any resale or other transfer of the Bonds is proposed to
be made pursuant to clause (d) above prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date, the transferor shall deliver a letter from the transferee substantially in the form of this letter to the Company, which shall provide, among other things,
that the transferee is an Institutional Accredited Investor and that it is acquiring such Bonds for investment purposes and not for distribution in violation of the Securities Act. We acknowledge that the Company and the Corporate Trustee reserve
the right prior to any offer, sale or other transfer pursuant to clause (d) or (e) prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date of the Bonds to require the delivery of an opinion of counsel, certifications and/or other information
satisfactory to the Company and the Corporate Trustee.

as to each of which we exercise sole investment discretion, for investment purposes and not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with any distribution in violation of, the Securities Act. We have such knowledge and experience in
financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of investment in the Bonds, we invest in securities similar to the Bonds in the normal course of our business and we, and all accounts for which we are acting, are
able to bear the economic risk of investment in the Bonds. 
 4. You are entitled to rely upon this letter and you are irrevocably authorized
to produce this letter or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby.
