    ARTICLE
      I  

     

    DESCRIPTION
      OF 2007 CREDIT
      AGREEMENT SERIES BONDS.

     

    SECTION
      1.  The
      Company hereby creates a new series of Bonds to be known as “2007 Credit
      Agreement Series Bonds.” The 2007 Credit Agreement Series Bonds shall be
      executed, authenticated and delivered in accordance with the provisions of,
      and
      shall in all respects be subject to, all of the terms, conditions and covenants
      of the Indenture, as supplemented and modified. The 2007 Credit Agreement Series
      Bonds shall be issued only to and in the name of the Agent under the Credit
      Agreement to evidence and secure any and all Company Obligations under the
      Credit Agreement. 

     

    The
      2007
      Credit Agreement Series Bonds shall be dated as of the Interest Payment Date
      (as
      defined below) thereof to which interest was paid next preceding the date of
      issue, unless (a) issued on an Interest Payment Date thereof to which interest
      was paid, in which event it shall be dated as of such issue date, or (b) issued
      prior to the occurrence of the first Interest Payment Date thereof to which
      interest was paid, in which event it shall be dated the date of original
      issuance.

     

    The
      2007
      Credit Agreement Series Bonds shall be issued in the aggregate principal amount
      of $200,000,000 and shall mature on the Maturity Date (having at any time the
      meaning such term has at such time under the Credit Agreement) applicable to
      the
      Company.

     

    The
      2007
      Credit Agreement Series Bonds shall bear interest from their date as set forth
      in the form thereof hereinafter recited. Interest on the 2007 Credit Agreement
      Series Bonds shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date (defined below),
      commencing on the first Interest Payment Date next succeeding the date of the
      2007 Credit Agreement Series Bonds. Payment of principal on the 2007 Credit
      Agreement Series Bonds shall be due on the Maturity Date. If the Maturity Date
      falls on a day which is not a Business Day, as defined below, principal and
      any
      interest and/or fees payable by the Company with respect to the Maturity Date
      will be paid on the next succeeding Business Day. 

     

    Both
      the
      principal of and the interest on the 2007 Credit Agreement Series Bonds shall
      be
      payable at the times and in the manner set forth in the form of bond set out
      herein and in immediately available funds at the office or agency of the
      Trustee, in any coin or currency of the United States of America which at the
      time of payment is legal tender for public and private debts. 

     

    The
      obligation of the Company to make payments with respect to principal under
      the
      Credit Agreement shall not give rise to an obligation to pay principal of the
      2007 Credit Agreement Series Bonds except on the Maturity Date of the Company
      or
      upon redemption as provided in this Supplemental Indenture. If at any time
      any
      permanent reduction of the 

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        4

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    Borrower
      Sublimit (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of the Company or the Borrower
      Credit Exposure (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of the Company shall result
      in the principal of the 2007 Credit Agreement Series Bonds being greater than
      the greater of the Borrower Sublimit and the Borrower Credit Exposure, a payment
      obligation with respect to the principal of the 2007 Credit Agreement Series
      Bonds in the amount of such excess shall be deemed discharged upon the
      effectiveness of such permanent reduction. No payment of principal under the
      Credit Agreement shall reduce the principal amount of the 2007
      Credit Agreement Series Bonds to an amount less than the greater of the Borrower
      Sublimit and the Borrower Credit Exposure.

     

    The
      obligation of the Company to make payments with respect to the interest on
      the
      2007 Credit Agreement Series Bonds shall be fully or partially, as the case
      may
      be, satisfied and discharged to the extent that, at the time that any such
      payment shall be due, the then due interest and/or fees of the Company under
      the
      Credit Agreement shall have been fully or partially paid. Satisfaction of any
      obligation to the extent that payment is made with respect to the interest
      and/or fees of the Company under the Credit Agreement means that if any payment
      is made on the interest and/or fees of the Company under the Credit Agreement,
      a
      corresponding payment obligation with respect to the interest on the 2007 Credit
      Agreement Series Bonds shall be deemed discharged in the same amount as such
      payment made on the interest and/or fees of the Company under the Credit
      Agreement.

     

    The
      Trustee may at any time and all times conclusively assume that the obligation
      of
      the Company to make payments with respect to the principal of and interest
      on
      the 2007 Credit Agreement Series Bonds, so far as such payments at the time
      have
      become due, has been fully satisfied and discharged pursuant to the foregoing
      paragraphs unless and until the Trustee shall have received a written notice
      from the Agent stating (i) that timely payment of principal of or interest
      on
      the 2007 Credit Agreement Series Bonds has not been made, (ii) that the Company
      is in arrears as to the payments required to be made by it to the Agent in
      connection with the Company Obligations pursuant to the Credit Agreement, and
      (iii) the amount of the arrearage. 

     

    As
      used
      herein, (A) “Business Day” shall have the meaning assigned thereto in the Credit
      Agreement; (B) “Interest Payment Date” shall mean each date on which Company
      Obligations constituting interest and/or fees are due and payable from time
      to
      time pursuant to the Credit Agreement; (C) “Interest Rate” shall mean a rate of
      interest per annum, adjusted as necessary, to result in an interest payment
      equal to the aggregate amount of Company Obligations constituting interest
      and
      fees of the Company due under the Credit Agreement on the applicable Interest
      Payment Date; and (D) “Record Date”
with
      respect to any Interest Payment Date shall mean the day (whether or not a
      Business Day) immediately next preceding such Interest Payment
      Date.

     

    The
      2007
      Credit Agreement Series Bonds shall not be assignable or transferable except
      to
      a successor Agent appointed in accordance with the Credit Agreement. The 2007
      Credit Agreement Series Bonds are
      exchangeable by the Registered Owner thereof, in person or by attorney duly
      authorized, at the principal office or place of business of the Trustee under
      the Indenture, upon the surrender and cancellation of said bonds and the payment
      of any stamp tax or other governmental charge, and upon any such exchange a
      new
      registered bond or bonds without coupons, of the same series and maturity and
      for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued in exchange theretofore;
      provided, that the Company shall not be required to 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        5

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    exchange
      any 2007 Credit Agreement Series Bonds for a period of ten (10) days next
      preceding an Interest Payment Date with respect to such bonds.

     

    As
      provided in Section 8.4 of the Credit Agreement, the Agent shall surrender
      the
      2007 Credit Agreement Series Bonds to the Trustee for cancellation when each
      of
      the Borrower Sublimit and the Borrower Credit Exposure of the Company have
      been
      reduced to zero and all fees and other amounts payable by the Company pursuant
      to the Credit Agreement with respect to the Company Obligations shall have
      been
      duly paid.

     

    SECTION
      2.  The
      2007
      Credit Agreement Series Bonds and the Trustee’s Certificate of Authentication

    ILLINOIS
      POWER COMPANY, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State
      of Illinois (the “Company”), which term shall include any successor corporation
      as defined in the Indenture hereinafter referred to, for value received, hereby
      promises to pay to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as agent (in such capacity, the
      “Agent”) for the Lenders (as defined below) under the Credit Agreement, dated as
      of February 9, 2007, by and among the Company, Central Illinois Light Company,
      Central Illinois Public Service Company, AmerenEnergy Resources Generating
      Company and CILCORP Inc., as borrowers, the lenders from time to time party
      thereto (the “Lenders”) and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as agent (as amended or
      otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), or registered
      assigns, the principal sum of $200,000,000 or
      such
      lesser principal amount as shall be equal to the amount of the Borrower Credit
      Exposure (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of the Company outstanding on
      the
      Maturity Date (having at any time the meaning such term has at such time under
      the Credit Agreement) of the Company, but not in excess of the principal amount
      of this Bond, and to pay interest thereon at the Interest Rate (as defined
      below) until the principal hereof is paid or duly made available for payment
      on
      the Maturity Date or in the event of redemption of this Bond, until the
      redemption date.

    Interest
      on this Bond shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date (as defined below),
      commencing on the first Interest Payment Date next succeeding the date of this
      Bond. If the Maturity Date falls on a day which is not a Business Day, as
      defined below, principal and any interest and/or fees payable with respect
      to
      the Maturity Date will be paid on the next succeeding Business Day. The interest
      payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment
      Date
      will, subject to certain exceptions provided in the Supplemental Indenture
      dated
      as of March 1, 2007, hereinafter referred to, be paid to the person in whose
      name this Bond (or one or more predecessor bonds) is registered at the close
      of
      business on the Record Date (as defined below); provided, however, that interest
      payable on the Maturity Date will be payable to the person to whom the principal
      hereof shall be payable. Should the Company default in the payment of interest
      (“Defaulted Interest”), the Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the person in
      whose name this Bond is registered on the Record Date to be established by
      the
      Trustee for payment of such Defaulted Interest. As used herein, (A) “Business
      Day” shall have the meaning assigned thereto in the Credit Agreement; (B)
“Interest Payment Date” shall mean each date on which Company Obligations
      constituting interest and/or fees are due and payable from time to time pursuant
      to the Credit Agreement; (C) “Interest Rate” shall mean a rate of interest per
      annum, adjusted as necessary, to result in an interest payment equal to the
      aggregate amount of Company Obligations constituting interest and fees of the
      Company due under the Credit Agreement on the applicable Interest Payment Date;
      and (D) “Record Date” with respect to any Interest Payment Date shall mean the
      day (whether or not a Business Day) immediately next preceding such Interest
      Payment Date.

     

    Both
      the
      principal of and the interest on this Bond shall be payable in immediately
      available funds at the office or agency of the Trustee, in any coin or currency
      of the United States of America which at the time of payment is legal tender
      for
      public and private debts.

     

    This
      Bond
      is to be issued and delivered to the Agent in order to evidence and secure
      the
      obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement to make payments to the
      Lenders under the Credit Agreement and to provide the Lenders the benefit of
      the
      lien of the Indenture with respect to the 2007 Credit Agreement Series
      Bonds.

     

    The
      obligation of the Company to make payments with respect to principal under
      the
      Credit Agreement shall not give rise to an obligation to pay principal of the
      2007 Credit Agreement Series Bonds except on the Maturity Date of the Company
      or
      upon redemption hereof. If at any time any permanent reduction of the Borrower
      Sublimit (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of the Company or the Borrower
      Credit Exposure (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of the Company shall result
      in the principal of the 2007 Credit Agreement Series Bonds being greater than
      the greater of the Borrower Sublimit and the Borrower Credit Exposure, a payment
      obligation with respect to the principal of the 2007 Credit Agreement Series
      Bonds in the amount of such excess shall be deemed discharged upon the
      effectiveness of such permanent reduction. No payment of principal under the
      Credit Agreement shall reduce the principal amount of the 2007
      Credit Agreement Series Bonds to an amount less than the greater of the Borrower
      Sublimit and the Borrower Credit Exposure.

     

    The
      obligation of the Company to make payments with respect to the interest on
      this
      Bond shall be fully or partially, as the case may be, satisfied and discharged
      to the extent that, at the time that any such payment shall be due, the then
      due
      interest and/or fees of the

    Company
      under the Credit Agreement shall have been fully or partially paid. Satisfaction
      of any obligation to the extent that payment is made with respect to the
      interest and/or fees of the Company under the Credit Agreement means that if
      any
      payment is made on the interest and/or fees of the Company under the Credit
      Agreement, a corresponding payment obligation with respect to the interest
      on
      this Bond shall be deemed discharged in the same amount as such payment made
      on
      the interest and/or fees of the Company under the Credit Agreement.

     

    The
      Trustee may at any time and all times conclusively assume that the obligation
      of
      the Company to make payments with respect to the principal of and interest
      on
      this Bond, so far as such payments at the time have become due, has been fully
      satisfied and discharged pursuant to the foregoing paragraphs unless and until
      the Trustee shall have received a written notice from the Agent stating (i)
      that
      timely payment of principal of or interest on this Bond has not been made,
      (ii)
      that the Company is in arrears as to the payments required to be made by it
      to
      the Agent in connection with the Company Obligations pursuant to the Credit
      Agreement, and (iii) the amount of the arrearage.

     

    The
      Agent
      shall surrender this Bond to the Trustee when each of the Borrower Sublimit
      and
      the Borrower Credit Exposure of the Company have been reduced to zero and all
      fees and other amounts payable by the Company pursuant to the Credit Agreement
      with respect to the Company Obligations shall have been duly paid.

     

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

     

    The
      provisions of this Bond are continued on the reverse hereof and such continued
      provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as though fully set
      forth
      at this place.

    THE
      TRUSTEE.

     

    The
      Trustee hereby accepts the trusts hereby declared and provided, and agrees
      to
      perform the same upon the terms and conditions in the Indenture set forth and
      upon the following terms and conditions:

     

    The
      Trustee shall not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for or in respect
      of
      the validity or sufficiency of this Supplemental Indenture or the due execution
      hereof by the Company or for or in respect of the recitals contained herein,
      all
      of which recitals are made by the Company solely. In general, each and every
      term and condition contained in Article Eleven of the Indenture shall apply
      to
      this Supplemental Indenture with the same force and effect as if the same were
      herein set forth in full, with such omissions, variations and modifications
      thereof as may be appropriate to make the same conform to this Supplemental
      Indenture.

     

    ARTICLE
      V

     

    MISCELLANEOUS
      PROVISIONS.

     

    This
      Supplemental Indenture may be simultaneously executed in any number of
      counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original;
      but such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same
      instrument.

     

    The
      Company acknowledges and intends that all advances made to it by the Lenders
      under the Credit Agreement, including future advances whenever hereafter made,
      shall be a lien from the time this Supplemental Indenture is
      recorded, as provided in Section 15-1302(b)(1) of the Illinois Mortgage
      Foreclosure Law (the “Act”), 735 ILCS 15-1101, et seq. The amount of the bonds
      of the 2007 Credit Agreement Series which comprises the principal amount then
      outstanding of the Obligations under the Credit Agreement constitutes revolving
      credit indebtedness secured by a mortgage on real property, pursuant to the
      terms and conditions of 205 ILCS 5/5d from the date of this Supplemental
      Indenture.

      Indenture to be executed on its behalf by an Authorized Executive Officer as
