(Form of reverse side of bond of Series No. 18)

This bond is one of the bonds of the Company issued and to be issued from time to time under and in accordance with and all secured by the indenture of mortgage or deed of trust dated May 1, 1947, executed and delivered by the Company to U.S. Bank National Association (formerly named First Trust of Illinois, National Association, successor to Bank of America Illinois, formerly Continental Bank, National Association and formerly Continental Illinois National Bank and Trust Company of Chicago, and hereinafter referred to as the “Trustee”) and Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx, as Trustees, and the indentures supplemental thereto heretofore executed and delivered by the Company to the Trustees under said indenture of mortgage, including the indenture supplemental thereto dated June 15, 2005, executed and delivered by the Company to said U.S. Bank National Association and Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx (successor Co-Trustee), as Trustees (collectively the “Trustees”), prior to the authentication of this bond (said indenture of mortgage and said supplemental indentures being hereinafter referred to, collectively, as the “Indenture”). Reference to the Indenture and to all supplemental indentures, if any, hereafter executed pursuant to the Indenture is hereby made for a description of the property mortgaged and pledged, the nature and extent of the security and the rights of the holders and registered owners of said bonds and of the Trustees and of the Company in respect of such security. By the terms of the Indenture, the bonds to be secured thereby are issuable in series which may vary as to date,

amount, date of maturity, rate of interest, redemption provisions, medium of payment and in other respects as in the Indenture provided.

This bond is one of a series of bonds of the Company issued under the Indenture and designated as First Mortgage Bonds, Pollution Control Series No. 18 (hereinafter called the “bonds of Series No. 18” or the “bonds of said Series”). The bonds of Series No. 18 have been issued to the County Trustee under the County Indenture to secure payment of the Environmental Facilities Revenue Bonds, 2005 Series A (Kentucky Utilities Company Project) (the “Revenue Bonds”), issued by the County under the County Indenture, the proceeds of which (other than any accrued interest thereon) have been loaned to the Company pursuant to the provisions of the Loan Agreement dated as of May 1, 2005 (the “Agreement”), between the Company and the County.

Except as provided in the next succeeding paragraph, in the event of a default under Section 9.1 of the Agreement or in the event of a default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest (and such default in the payment of interest continues for the full grace period, if any, permitted by the County Indenture and the Revenue Bonds) on the Revenue Bonds, whether at maturity, by tender for purchase, by acceleration, by sinking fund, redemption or otherwise, as and when the same becomes due, the bonds of Series No. 18shall be redeemable in whole upon receipt by the Trustee of a written demand (hereinafter called a “Redemption Demand”) from the County Trustee stating that there has been such a default, stating that it is acting pursuant to the authorization granted by Section 9.02(c) of the County Indenture, specifying the last date to which interest on the Revenue Bonds has been paid (such date being hereinafter referred to as the “Initial Interest Accrual Date”) and demanding redemption of the bonds of Series No. 18. The Trustee shall, within 10 days after receiving such Redemption Demand, mail a copy thereof to the Company marked to indicate the date of its receipt by the Trustee. Promptly upon receipt by the Company of such copy of a Redemption Demand, the Company shall fix a date on which it will redeem the bonds of Series No. 18 so demanded to be redeemed (hereinafter called the “Demand Redemption Date”). Notice of the date fixed as and for the Demand Redemption Date shall be mailed by the Company to the Trustee at least 30 days prior to such Demand Redemption Date. The date to be fixed by the Company as and for the Demand Redemption Date may be any date up to and including the earlier of (i) the 120th day after receipt by the Trustee of the Redemption Demand or (ii) June 1, 2035, provided that if the Trustee shall not have received such notice fixing the Demand Redemption Date within 90 days after receipt by it of the Redemption Demand, the Demand Redemption Date shall be deemed to be the earlier of (i) the 120th day after receipt by the Trustee of the Redemption Demand or (ii) June 1, 2035. The Trustee shall mail notice of the Demand Redemption Date (such notice being hereinafter called the “Demand Redemption Notice”) to the County Trustee not more than 10 nor less than five days prior to the Demand Redemption Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a default to which this paragraph is applicable is existing on June 1, 2035, such date shall be deemed to be the Demand Redemption Date without further action (including actions specified in this paragraph) by the County Trustee, the Trustee or the Company. The bonds of Series No. 18 shall be redeemed by the Company on the Demand Redemption Date, upon surrender thereof by the County Trustee to the Trustee, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest thereon at the rate or rates then applicable to the Revenue Bonds or determined under the provisions of the County Indenture from the Initial Interest Accrual Date to

the Demand Redemption Date. If a Redemption Demand is rescinded by the County Trustee by written notice to the Trustee prior to the Demand Redemption Date, no Demand Redemption Notice shall be given, or, if already given, shall be automatically annulled, and interest on the bonds of Series No. 18 shall cease to accrue, all interest accrued thereon shall be automatically rescinded and cancelled and the Company shall not be obligated to make any payments of principal of or interest on the bonds of said Series; but no such rescission shall extend to or affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

In the event that all of the bonds outstanding under the Indenture shall have become immediately due and payable, whether by declaration or otherwise, and such acceleration shall not have been annulled, the bonds of Series No. 18 shall bear interest at the rate or rates applicable to the Revenue Bonds from the Initial Interest Accrual Date, as specified in a written notice to the Trustee from the County Trustee, and the principal of and interest on the bonds of said Series from the Initial Interest Accrual Date shall be payable in accordance with the provisions of Article X of the Indenture.

Upon payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Revenue Bonds, whether at maturity or prior to maturity by redemption or otherwise, and the surrender thereof to and cancellation thereof by the County Trustee (other than any Revenue Bond that was cancelled by the County Trustee and for which one or more other Revenue Bonds were delivered and authenticated pursuant to the County Indenture in lieu of or in exchange or substitution for such cancelled Revenue Bond), or upon provision for the payment thereof having been made in accordance with the County Indenture, bonds of Series No. 18 in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Revenue Bonds so surrendered and cancelled or for the provision for which payment has been made shall be deemed fully paid and the obligations of the Company thereunder shall be terminated, and such bonds of Series No. 18 shall be surrendered by the County Trustee to the Trustee and shall be cancelled by the Trustee. From and after the Release Date (as defined below), the bonds of Series No. 18 shall be deemed fully paid, satisfied and discharged and the obligations of the Company hereunder and thereunder shall be terminated. The Release Date shall be the date that the Bond Insurer (as such term is defined in the County Indenture), at the request of the Company, consents to the release of the bonds of this Series, as security for the Revenue Bonds, provided that in no event shall that date be later than the date as of which all bonds issued under the Indenture prior to the date of initial issuance of this bond (and excluding bonds of Series Nos. 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18) have been retired through payment, redemption or otherwise (including those bonds “deemed to be paid” within the meaning of that term as used in Article XII of the Indenture) at, before or after the maturity thereof. On the Release Date, the bonds of Series No. 18 shall be surrendered by the County Trustee to the Trustee whereupon the bonds of Series No. 18 so surrendered shall be cancelled by the Trustee.

No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or interest on this bond, or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof or of the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, to or against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, past, present or future, of the Company, or of any predecessor or successor corporation, either directly or through the Company or such predecessor or successor corporation, under any constitution or statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty, or otherwise, all such

liability of incorporators, stockholders, directors and officers being waived and released by the registered owner hereof by the acceptance of this bond and being likewise waived and released by the terms of the Indenture.

This bond is nontransferable except as may be required to effect a transfer to any successor trustee under the County Indenture. Any such transfer may be made by the registered owner hereof, 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 this bond and the payment of any stamp tax or other governmental charge, and upon any such transfer a new registered bond or bonds without coupons, of the same series and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the transferee in exchange herefor.

AND WHEREAS, there is to be endorsed on each of the bonds of Series No. 18 (whether in temporary or definitive form) a certificate of the Trustee substantially in the following form, to-wit:

The bonds outstanding on the date hereof to which said Section 10 applies are Series P, Nos. 10 and 11, Series S, and Nos. 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17.

No covenant to provide a maintenance and renewal fund is made in respect of the bonds of Series No. 18.

The bonds of Series No. 18 are intended to be used as collateral for and to secure payment of the Revenue Bonds, as hereinabove provided, and, accordingly, the bonds of Series

No. 18 shall be dated as of the date of issuance of the Revenue Bonds and shall bear interest from the Initial Interest Accrual Date, as hereinabove provided, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Indenture with respect to the dating of bonds and the date from which interest on bonds shall accrue.

ARTICLE IV.

Section 1. Capitalized terms used in this Article IV and not otherwise defined in this Indenture shall have the meanings set forth in the County Indenture.

Section 2. Subsequent to the issuance of the Revenue Bonds, the Company shall not be required to establish compliance with the net earnings requirements of Section 5 of Article II of the Indenture in connection with any Conversion of Interest Rate Mode on the Revenue Bonds or any change in length of Long Term Rate Period. So long as the Revenue Bonds operate in any Interest Rate Mode other than the Long Term Rate where the Long Term Rate Period ends on the day prior to the final maturity of the Revenue Bonds, the Company shall include, for purposes of any required calculation of such net earnings requirement (as such requirement shall then be in effect), interest on the bonds of said Series at an annual rate of 14%. If at any time the interest rate on the Revenue Bonds is a Long Term Rate where the Long Term Rate Period ends on the day prior to the final maturity of the Revenue Bonds, the Company may include, for purposes of any calculation of such net earnings requirement, interest on the bonds of said Series at the Long Term Rate then borne by the Revenue Bonds.

ARTICLE V.

Section 1. The provisions of this supplemental indenture shall be effective from and after the execution hereof; and the Indenture, as hereby modified and amended, shall remain in full force and effect.

Section 2. Each holder or registered owner of a bond of any series not now outstanding which shall be authenticated by the Trustee and issued by the Company under the Indenture (as hereby amended) subsequent to the execution of this supplemental indenture and of any coupon pertaining to any such bond, by the acquisition, holding or ownership of such bond and coupon, thereby consents and agrees to, and shall be bound by, the provisions of this supplemental indenture.

Section 3. Each reference in the Indenture, or in this supplemental indenture, to any article, section, term or provision of the Indenture shall mean and be deemed to refer to such article, section, term or provision of the Indenture, as hereby modified and amended, except where the context otherwise indicates.

Section 4.
