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

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of March 1, 2002, as previously supplemented and further supplemented by Supplemental Indenture No. 1, dated as of November 15, 2005, as amended by Supplemental Indenture No. 2 dated as of March 1, 2019 (herein called the “Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon (formerly The Bank of New York), a corporation organized under the laws of the State of New York authorized to conduct a banking business, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture). Reference is made to the Indenture and any supplemental indenture thereto for the provisions relating, among other things, to the respective rights of the Company, the Trustee and the holders of the Securities, and the terms on which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof, initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $250,000,000; provided, however, that the authorized aggregate principal amount of the Securities may be increased above such amount by a Board Resolution to such effect.

The Securities will be secured by a series of mortgage bonds (the “2035 Collateral Mortgage Bonds”) delivered by the Company to the Trustee for the benefit of the holders of the Securities, issued pursuant to the Sixteenth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of March 1, 2019 to the General Mortgage Indenture and Deed of Trust, dated as of December 1, 1986, between the Company and UMB Bank, N.A. (formerly United Missouri Bank of Kansas City, N.A.) (as amended and supplemented, the “Mortgage Indenture”). Reference is made to the Indenture and the Mortgage Indenture for a description of the rights of the Trustee as holder of the 2035 Collateral Mortgage Bonds, the property mortgaged and pledged, the nature and extent of the security and rights of the holders of the mortgage bonds under the Mortgage Indenture and the rights of the Company under the Mortgage Indenture and the terms and conditions upon which the Securities are secured.

The Company shall have the right to redeem the Securities of this series, in whole or in part, at its option at any time from time to time at a price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount thereof or (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Securities to be redeemed (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the date of redemption on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the applicable treasury rate plus 25 basis points, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Securities being redeemed to the redemption date. The treasury rate will be calculated on the third business day preceding the date fixed for redemption.

A-2

For purposes of determining the redemption price:

“treasury rate”, means, with respect to any redemption date: (i) the yield, under the heading which represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated “H.15(519)” or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded U.S. Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the comparable treasury issue (if no maturity is within three months before or after the remaining life (as defined below), yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the comparable treasury issue will be determined and the treasury rate will be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month); or (ii) if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the comparable treasury issue, calculated using a price for the comparable treasury issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the comparable treasury price for such redemption date;

“comparable treasury issue” means the U.S. Treasury security selected by an independent investment banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term (“remaining life”) of the Securities to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Securities;

“comparable treasury price” means (1) the average of five reference treasury dealer quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest reference treasury dealer quotations, or (2) if the independent investment banker obtains fewer than four such reference treasury dealer quotations, the average of all such quotations;

“independent investment banker” means either BNP Paribas Securities Corp. or X.X. Xxxxxx Securities Inc., as specified by the Company, or, if these firms are unwilling or unable to select the comparable treasury issue, an independent investment banking institution of national standing appointed by the Company;

“reference treasury dealer” means (1) BNP Paribas Securities Corp. and X.X. Xxxxxx Securities Inc. and their respective successors, provided, however, that if either of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. government securities dealer in New York City (a “primary treasury dealer”), the Company will substitute therefor another primary treasury dealer and (2) any three other primary treasury dealers selected by the Company after consultation with the independent investment banker;

“reference treasury dealer quotations” means, with respect to each reference treasury dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the independent investment banker, of the bid and asked prices for the comparable treasury issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the independent investment banker at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third business day preceding such redemption date.

A-3

If an Event of Default (as defined in the Indenture) shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Securities, the principal hereof may be declared, and upon such declaration shall become due and payable, in the manner, with such effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture. Any such declaration may be rescinded by holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities if all Events of Default with respect to the Securities (other than the non-payment of principal of the Securities which shall have become due by such declaration) shall have been remedied.

The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding, evidenced as in the Indenture provided, to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to the Indenture or to any supplemental indenture with respect to the Securities, or modifying in any manner the rights of the holders of the Securities; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall (i) extend the fixed maturity of any Securities or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate thereon, or make the principal thereof, or interest thereon, payable in any coin or currency other than that in the Securities provided, without the consent of each holder of the Securities so affected, or (ii) reduce the aforesaid principal amount of the Securities, the holders of which are required to consent to any such supplemental indenture without the consent of the holders of all Securities then outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding, evidenced as in the Indenture provided, to waive certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein provided.

This Security is issuable as a registered Security only, in the denomination of $1,000 and any integral multiples of $1,000 approved by the Company, such approval to be evidenced by the execution thereof.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Security is transferable by the registered holder hereof in person or by his attorney duly authorized in writing on the books of the Company at the office or agency to be maintained by the Company for that purpose, but only in the manner, subject to the limitations and upon payment of any tax or governmental charge for which the Company may require reimbursement as provided in the Indenture, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Security.
