PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

GENERAL

The registrant, Union Electric Company (the "Company"), incorporated in Missouri in 1922, is successor to a number of companies, the oldest of which was organized in 1881. The Company, which is the largest electric utility in the State of Missouri, supplies electric service in territories in Missouri and Illinois having an estimated population of 2,600,000 within an area of approximately 24,500 square miles, including the greater St. Louis area. Natural gas purchased from non-affiliated pipeline companies is distributed in 90 Missouri communities and in the City of Alton, Illinois and vicinity.

For the year 1993, 95.2% of total operating revenues was derived from the sale of electric energy and 4.8% from the sale of natural gas. Electric operating revenues as a percentage of total operating revenues for the years 1989, 1990, 1991, and 1992 were 96%, 95.9%, 95.7%, and 95.7% respectively.

The Company employed 6,417 persons at December 31, 1993. Approximately 70% of the Company's employees are represented by local unions affiliated with the AFL-CIO. Labor agreements representing approximately 4,400 employees will expire in 1996. One agreement covering 107 employees expires in 1994, and one agreement covering 21 employees will expire in 1997.

CONSTRUCTION PROGRAM AND FINANCING

The Company is engaged in a construction program under which expenditures averaging approximately $310 million are anticipated during each of the next five years. Capital expenditures for compliance with the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 are included in the construction program -- also see "Regulation", below. The Company does not anticipate a need for additional electric generating capacity before the year 2000.

During the five-year period ended 1993 gross additions to the property of the Company, including allowance for funds used during construction and excluding nuclear fuel, were approximately $1.2 billion (including $266 million in 1993) and property retirements were $190 million.

In addition to the funds required for construction during the 1994-1998 period, $174 million will be required to repay long-term debt and preferred stock as follows: $31 million in 1994, $38 million in 1995, $60 million in 1996, and $45 million in 1997. Amounts for years subsequent to 1994 do not include nuclear fuel lease payments since the amounts of such payments are not currently determinable.

For information on the Company's external cash sources, see "Liquidity and Capital Resources" under "Management's Discussion and Analysis" on Page 18 of the 1993 Annual Report pages incorporated herein by reference.

Financing Restrictions. Under the most restrictive earnings test contained in the Company's principal Indenture of Mortgage and Deed of Trust ("Mortgage") relating to its First Mortgage Bonds ("Bonds"), no Bonds may be issued (except in certain refunding operations) unless the Company's net earnings available for interest after depreciation for 12 consecutive months within the 15 months preceding such issuance are at least two times annual interest charges on all Bonds and prior lien bonds then outstanding and to be issued (all calculated as provided in the Mortgage). Such ratio for the 12 months ended December 31, 1993 was 6.3, which would permit the Company to issue an additional $2.9 billion of Bonds (7% annual interest rate assumed). Additionally, the Mortgage permits issuance of new bonds up to (a) 60% of defined property additions, or (b) the amount of previous bonds retired or to be retired, or (c) the amount of cash put up for such purpose. At December 31, 1993, the aggregate amount of Bonds issuable under (a) and (b) above was approximately $1.5 billion. The Company's Articles of Incorporation restrict the Company from selling Preferred Stock unless its net earnings for a period of 12 consecutive months within 15 months preceding such sale are at least two and one-half times the annual dividend requirements on its Preferred Stock then outstanding and to be issued. Such ratio for the 12 months ended December 31, 1993 was 22.0, which would permit the Company to issue an additional $1.5 billion stated value of Preferred Stock (7% annual dividend rate assumed). Certain other financing arrangements require the Company to obtain prior consents to various actions by the Company, including any future borrowings, except for permitted financings such as borrowings under revolving credit agreements, the nuclear fuel lease, unsecured short-term borrowings (subject to certain conditions), and the issuance of additional Bonds.

RATES

For the year 1993, approximately 89%, 8%, and 3% of the Company's electric operating revenues were based on rates regulated by Missouri Public Service Commission, Illinois Commerce Commission, and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") of the Department of Energy, respectively.

For additional information on rates, see the penultimate paragraph of Note 10 to the "Notes to Financial Statements" on Page 32 of the 1993 Annual Report pages incorporated herein by reference.

Coal. Because of uncertainties of supply due to potential work stoppages, equipment breakdowns and other factors, the Company has a policy of maintaining a coal inventory of 75 days, based on normal annual burn practices. See "Regulation" for additional reference to the Company's coal requirements.

-2-

Nuclear. The components of the nuclear fuel cycle required for nuclear generating units are as follows: (1) uranium; (2) conversion of uranium into uranium hexafluoride; (3) enrichment of uranium hexafluoride; (4) conversion of enriched uranium hexafluoride into uranium dioxide and the fabrication into nuclear fuel assemblies; and (5) disposal and/or reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel.

The Company has contracts to fulfill its needs for uranium, enrichment, and fabrication services through 2002. The Company's contract for conversion services is sufficient to supply the Callaway Plant through 1995. Additional contracts will have to be entered into in order to supply nuclear fuel during the remainder of the estimated life of the Plant, at prices which cannot now be accurately predicted. The Callaway Plant normally requires re-fueling at 18- month intervals and re-fuelings are presently scheduled for the spring of 1995 and fall of 1996.

Under the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982, the U. S. Department of Energy (DOE) is responsible for the permanent storage and disposal of spent nuclear fuel. DOE currently charges one mill per kilowatt-hour sold for future disposal of spent fuel. Electric rates charged to customers provide for recovery of such costs. DOE is not expected to have its permanent storage facility for spent fuel available until at least 2010. The Company has sufficient storage capacity at the Callaway Plant site until 2004 and has viable storage alternatives under consideration that would provide additional storage facilities. Each alternative will likely require Nuclear Regulatory Commission approval and may require other regulatory approvals. The delayed availability of DOE's disposal facility is not expected to adversely affect the continued operation of the Callaway Plant.

Oil and Gas. The actual and prospective use of such fuels is minimal, and the Company has not experienced and does not expect to experience difficulty in obtaining adequate supplies.

REGULATION

The Company is subject to regulation by the Missouri Commission and Illinois Commission as to rates, service, accounts, issuance of equity securities, issuance of debt having a maturity of more than twelve months, and various other matters. The Company is also subject to regulation by the FERC as to rates and charges in connection with the transmission of electric energy in interstate commerce and the sale of such energy at wholesale in interstate commerce, and certain other matters. Authorization to issue debt having a maturity of twelve months or less is obtained from the FERC.

Operation of the Company's Callaway Plant is subject to regulation by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The Company's Facility Operating License for the Callaway Plant expires on October 18, 2024.

The Company's Osage hydroelectric plant and its Taum Sauk pumped-storage hydro plant, as licensed projects under the Federal Power Act, are subject to certain federal regulations affecting, among other things, the general operation and maintenance of the projects. The Company's license for the Osage Plant expires on February 28, 2006, and its license for the Taum Sauk Plant expires on June 30, 2010. The Company's Keokuk Plant and dam located in the Mississippi River between Hamilton, Illinois and Keokuk, Iowa, are operated under authority, unlimited in time, granted by an Act of Congress in 1905.

-3-

The Company is exempt from the provisions of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, except Section 9(a)(2) relating to the acquisition of securities of other public utility companies and Section 11(b)(2) with respect to concluding matters relating to the 1974 acquisition of the common stock of a former subsidiary. When the Securities and Exchange Commission approved such acquisition it reserved jurisdiction to pass upon the right of the Company to retain its gas properties.

The Company is regulated, in certain of its operations, by air and water pollution and hazardous waste regulations at the city, county, state and federal levels. The Company is in substantial compliance with such existing regulations.

Under the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, the Company is required to reduce total annual emissions of sulfur dioxide by approximately two-thirds by the year 2000. Significant reductions in nitrogen oxide will also be required. With switching to low-sulfur coal and early banking of emission credits, the Company anticipates that it can comply with the requirements of the law with no significant increase in revenue needs because the related capital costs, currently estimated at about $300 million, will be largely offset by lower fuel costs. The Company's Clean Air Act compliance program is subject to approval by regulatory authorities.

As of December 31, 1993, the Company was designated a potentially responsible party (PRP) by federal and state environmental protection agencies for five hazardous waste sites. Other hazardous waste sites have been identified for which the Company may be responsible but has not been designated a PRP. The Company is presently investigating the remedial costs that will be required for all of these sites. Such costs are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position.

Other aspects of the Company's business are subject to the jurisdiction of various regulatory authorities.

INDUSTRY ISSUES

The Company is facing issues common to the electric and gas utility industries which have emerged during the past several years. These issues include: changes in the structure of the industry as a result of amendments to federal laws regulating ownership of generating facilities and access to transmission systems; continually developing environmental laws, regulations and issues; public concern about the siting of new facilities; increasing public attention on the potential public health consequences of exposure to electric and magnetic fields emanating from power lines and other electric sources; proposals for demand side management programs; and public concerns about the disposal of nuclear wastes and about global climate issues. The Company is monitoring these issues and is unable to predict at this time what impact, if any, these issues will have on its operations or financial condition.

In planning its construction program, the Company is presently utilizing a forecast of kilowatthour sales growth of approximately 1.8% and peak load growth of 1.0%, each compounded annually, and is providing for a minimum reserve margin of approximately 18% to 20% above its anticipated peak load requirements.

See "Operating Statistics", incorporated by reference in Part I of this Form 10-K, for information on loads and capability during the five-year period ended 1993.

See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" under "Management's Discussion and Analysis" on Pages 17 and 18 of the 1993 Annual Report pages incorporated herein by reference for information on the 1992 purchase and sale of certain properties.

The Company is a member of one of the nine regional electric reliability councils organized for coordinating the planning and operation of the nation's bulk power supply - MAIN (Mid-America Interconnected Network) operating primarily in Wisconsin, Illinois and Missouri. The Company has interconnections for the exchange of power, directly and through the facilities of

-6-

others, with fifteen private utilities and with Associated Electric Cooperative, Inc., the City of Columbia, Missouri, the Southwestern Power Administration and the Tennessee Valley Authority.

The Company owns 40% of the capital stock of Electric Energy, Inc. ("EEI"), the balance of which is held by three other sponsoring companies -- Kentucky Utilities Company ("KU"), Central Illinois Public Service ("CIPS"), and Illinois Power Company ("IP"). EEI owns and operates a generating plant with a nominal capacity of 1,000 mW. As of January 1, 1994, 60% of the plant's output is committed to the Paducah Project of the DOE, 20% is committed to KU, 10% to the Company, and 5% each to IP and CIPS.

As of December 31, 1993, the Company owned approximately 3,297 circuit miles of electric transmission lines and 731 substations with a transformer capacity of approximately 44,324,000 kVA. The Company owns four propane-air plants with an aggregate daily natural gas equivalent capacity of 31,590 million cubic feet and 2,599 miles of gas mains. Other properties of the Company include distribution lines, underground cable, steam distribution facilities in Jefferson City, Missouri and office buildings, warehouses, garages and repair shops.

The Company has fee title to all principal plants and other important units of property, or to the real property on which such facilities are located (subject to mortgage liens securing outstanding indebtedness of the Company and to permitted liens and judgment liens, as defined), except that (i) a portion of the Osage Plant reservoir, certain facilities at the Sioux Plant, certain of the Company's substations and most of its transmission and distribution lines and gas mains are situated on lands occupied under leases, easements, franchises, licenses or permits; (ii) the United States and/or the State of Missouri own, or have or may have, paramount rights to certain lands lying in the bed of the Osage River or located between the inner and outer harbor lines of the Mississippi River, on which certain generating and other properties of the Company are located; and (iii) the United States and/or State of Illinois and/or State of Iowa and/or City of Keokuk, Iowa own, or have or may have, paramount rights with respect to, certain lands lying in the bed of the Mississippi River on which a portion of the Company's Keokuk Plant is located.

Substantially all of the Company's property and plant is subject to the direct first lien of an Indenture of Mortgage and Deed of Trust dated June 15, 1937, as amended and supplemented. As part of the 1983 merger of the Company with its utility subsidiaries, the Company assumed the mortgage indenture of each subsidiary. Currently, the prior liens of two former subsidiary indentures extend to the property and franchises acquired by the Company from such subsidiaries. Such indentures also contain provisions subjecting to the prior lien thereof after-acquired property of the Company constituting (with certain exceptions) additions, extensions, improvements, repairs, and replacements appurtenant to property acquired in the merger. In addition, one such indenture contains a provision subjecting to the prior lien thereof after- acquired property of the Company situated in the territory served by the former subsidiary prior to the merger.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

The Company is involved in legal and administrative proceedings before various courts and agencies with respect to matters arising in the ordinary course of business, some of which involve substantial amounts. Management is of the opinion that the final disposition of these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position.

(2) Additional shares of the Preferred Stock may, subject to the provisions of paragraphs (1) and (6) of subdivision (k) below, be issued as additional shares of Preferred Stock of any of the series designated above or as shares of one or more other series of Preferred Stock, with such distinctive serial designations as shall be set forth in the resolution or resolutions from time to time adopted by the Board of Directors providing for the issue of such stock or in such other instrument providing for the issue of such stock as may be required by law; and in any such resolution or resolutions or such other instrument, as the case may be, with respect to each particular series of the Preferred Stock (other than the series designated above) the Board of Directors is hereby expressly authorized to fix, to the extent which may be permitted by law,

(i) the annual dividend rate for the particular series which shall not exceed $8 per share, and the date from which dividends on all shares of such series issued prior to the record date for the first dividend payment date shall be cumulative;

(ii) the redemption price per share for the particular series which (exclusive of accrued and unpaid dividends) shall not exceed $120 per share;

(iii) the amount or amounts per share (exclusive of accrued and unpaid dividends) for the particular series payable to the holders thereof in case of dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, but such amount or amounts shall not exceed $120 per share;

(iv) the terms and conditions, if any, upon which shares of the particular series shall be convertible into, or exchangeable for, shares of any other class, including the price or prices or the rate or rates of conversion or exchange and the terms of adjustment thereof, if any;

(v) the terms and amount of any sinking fund created for the purchase or redemption of the particular series of Preferred Stock; and

(vi) any other characteristics of, and any restrictive or other provisions relating to, the shares of each particular series not inconsistent with the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation, as amended, as the Board of Directors may by law be permitted to fix.

All shares of Preferred Stock of any one series shall be identical with each other in all respects except as to the date from which dividends thereon shall be cumulative; and all shares of all series shall be of equal rank as to dividends and assets with each other, regardless of series, and shall be identical with each other in all other respects except as hereinbefore provided.

(b) Before any dividends on the Common Stock shall be paid or declared or set apart for payment, the holders of the Preferred Stock at the time outstanding shall be entitled to receive, but only when and as declared, out of any funds legally available for the declaration of

-3-

dividends, cumulative cash dividends at the respective annual rates hereinbefore specified with respect to the series of Preferred Stock designated above, or, in the case of Preferred Stock of any other series, at the annual dividend rate for the particular series theretofore fixed by the Board of Directors as hereinbefore provided, payable quarter-yearly on the fifteenth days of February, May, August, and November in each year, to stockholders of record on the respective dates, not exceeding forty days preceding such dividend payment dates, fixed for the purpose by the Board of Directors in advance of the payment of each particular dividend. Such dividends on shares of the Preferred Stock shall be cumulative,

(1) if issued prior to the record date for the first dividend on the shares of such series, then, in the case of the series of Preferred Stock designated above, from the respective dates hereinbefore specified with respect thereto, or, in the case of Preferred Stock of any other series, from the date theretofore fixed for the purpose by the Board of Directors as hereinbefore provided;

(2) if issued during the period commencing immediately after a record date for a dividend and terminating at the close of the payment date for such dividend, then from said last mentioned dividend payment date; and

(3) otherwise from the quarter-yearly dividend payment date next preceding the date of issue of such shares;

so that if dividends on all outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock shall not have been paid for all past quarter-yearly dividend periods, and the full dividends thereon for the current quarter-yearly dividend period shall not have been paid, or declared and set apart for payment, the deficiency shall be fully paid or dividends equal thereto declared and set apart for payment, but without interest on cumulative dividends, before any dividends shall be declared or any distribution made on the Common Stock. The holders of the Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to receive any dividends thereon other than the dividends referred to in this subdivision (b).

(c) The Corporation, at the option of the Board of Directors, may redeem the whole or any part of the Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, or the whole or any part of any series thereof, at any time or from time to time, by paying, in the case of the series of Preferred Stock designated above, the respective redemption prices hereinbefore specified with respect thereto, or, in the case of Preferred Stock of any other series, by paying such redemption price therefor as shall have been fixed by the Board of Directors as hereinbefore provided, together with a sum, in the case of each share so to be redeemed, computed at the annual dividend rate for the series of which the particular share is a part from the date from which dividends on such share became cumulative to the date fixed for such redemption, less the aggregate of the dividends theretofore or on such redemption date paid thereon. Notice of every such redemption shall be given by publication, published at least once in each of two calendar weeks in a daily newspaper printed in the English language and published and of general circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and in a like newspaper published and of general circulation in the City of St. Louis, Missouri, the first

-4-

publication to be at least thirty days and not more than sixty days prior to the date fixed for such redemption. At least thirty days' and not more than sixty days' previous notice of every such redemption shall also be mailed to the holders of record of the Preferred Stock to be redeemed, at their respective addresses as the same shall appear on the books of the Corporation; but no failure to mail such notice nor any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any shares of the Preferred Stock so to be redeemed. In case of the redemption of a part only of any series of the Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, the Corporation shall select by lot or in such other manner as the Board of Directors may determine, the shares so to be redeemed. The Board of Directors shall have full power and authority, subject to the limitations and provisions herein contained, to prescribe the manner in which and the terms and conditions upon which the Preferred Stock shall be redeemed from time to time. If such notice of redemption shall have been duly given by publication, and if on or before the redemption date specified in such notice all funds necessary for such redemption shall have been set aside so as to be available therefor, then, notwithstanding that any certificate for the shares of the Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall not have been surrendered for redemption, the shares represented thereby shall no longer be deemed outstanding in the hands of the persons who are the holders thereof immediately preceding such redemption, the right of such holders to receive dividends thereon shall cease to accrue from and after the date of redemption so fixed, and all rights of such holders with respect to such shares of Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall forthwith on such redemption date cease and terminate, except only the right of such holders to receive the amount payable upon redemption thereof, but without interest; provided, however, that the Corporation may, after giving the first notice by publication of any such redemption, or giving irrevocable instructions therefor, and prior to the redemption date specified in such notice, deposit in trust, for the account of the holders of the Preferred Stock to be redeemed, with a bank or trust company in good standing, organized under the laws of the United States of America or of the State of New York, doing business in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, having a capital, surplus and undivided profits aggregating at least $5,000,000, all funds necessary for such redemption, and thereupon all shares of the Preferred Stock with respect to which such deposit shall have been made shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding in the hands of such holders, and all rights of such holders with respect to such shares of Preferred Stock shall forthwith upon such deposit in trust cease and terminate, except only the right of such holders to receive the amount payable upon the redemption thereof, but without interest. All or any shares of the Preferred Stock redeemed at any time may, in the discretion of the Board of Directors and to the extent permitted by law, be reissued or otherwise disposed of at any time or from time to time subject to the provisions of these Articles of Incorporation, as amended.

(d) In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, then before any distribution shall be made to the holders of the Common Stock, the holders of shares of the Preferred Stock at the time outstanding shall be entitled to be paid in cash, in the case of the series of Preferred Stock designated above, the respective amounts hereinbefore specified with respect thereto, and, in the case of Preferred Stock of any other series, such amount as shall have been fixed by the Board of Directors as hereinbefore provided, together with a sum in the case of each such share, computed at the annual dividend

-5-

rate for the series of which the particular share is a part from the date from which dividends on such shares became cumulative to the date fixed for the payment of such distributive amounts, less the aggregate of the dividends theretofore or on such date paid thereon. After such payment to the holders of the Preferred Stock, the remaining assets and funds of the Corporation shall be divided and distributed among the holders of the Common Stock then outstanding according to their respective shares.

(e) Unless and until four quarter-yearly dividends payable on the Preferred Stock shall be in default, in whole or in part, every stockholder shall have one vote for each share of Preferred Stock, and one vote for each share of Common Stock, held by him, on all matters, including the election of Directors, except as otherwise provided by law or by these Articles of Incorporation, as amended. If and when four quarter-yearly dividends (whether or not consecutive) payable on the Preferred Stock shall be in default, in whole or in part, every stockholder shall have one vote for each share of Preferred Stock, and one vote for each share of Common Stock, held by him, on all matters except the election of Directors, and in such case the number of Directors of the Corporation shall thereupon, and until such default shall have been remedied, be two more than the number specified in and pursuant to Article Fifth of the Articles of Incorporation, as amended, the holders of the Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, voting separately as a class, shall become entitled to elect the two additional members of the Board of Directors, and at each annual election of Directors thereafter during the continuance of such default the holders of the Preferred Stock, voting separately as a class, shall be entitled to elect two members of the Board of Directors and the holders of the Common Stock, voting separately as a class, shall be entitled to elect the remaining Directors of the Corporation. However, if and when all dividends then in default on the Preferred Stock then outstanding shall thereafter be paid (and such dividends shall be declared and paid out of any funds legally available therefor as soon as reasonably practicable), the Preferred Stock shall thereupon be divested of such special right herein provided for to elect such members of the Board of Directors, the voting power of the Preferred Stock and the Common Stock shall revert to the status existing before the occurrence of such default, and the number of Directors of the Corporation shall again be the number specified in and pursuant to Article Fifth of the Articles of Incorporation, as amended; but always subject to the same provisions for vesting such special rights in the Preferred Stock in case of any similar future default or defaults. A meeting of the holders of the Preferred Stock, at which the holders of the Preferred Stock shall vote as a class, shall be held at any time after the accrual of such special right to elect such two additional members of the Board of Directors, upon notice similar to that provided in the By-laws for a special meeting, upon call by the holders of not less than 1,000 shares of the Preferred Stock or upon call by the Secretary of the Corporation at the request in writing of any holder of Preferred Stock addressed to him at the principal office of the Corporation. Upon termination of such special right at any time by reason of the payment of all accumulated and defaulted dividends on such stock, the terms of office of all persons who may have been elected Directors of the Corporation by vote of the holders of the Preferred Stock, as a class, pursuant to such special right shall forthwith terminate.

Whenever Directors are elected by the stockholders by classes, pursuant to this subdivision (e), in case of any vacancy in the Board of Directors, through death, resignation,

-6-

disqualification or other cause, occurring among the Directors elected by the holders of the Common Stock, as a class, the remaining Directors elected by the vote of the holders of the Common Stock, as a class, by affirmative vote of the majority thereof, may elect a successor to hold office for the unexpired term of the Director whose place shall be vacant; and in case of any such vacancy in the Board of Directors occurring among the Directors elected by the holders of the Preferred Stock, as a class, the holders of the Preferred Stock then outstanding and entitled to vote may, at a meeting of such holders called in the manner provided by this subdivision (e), elect a successor to hold office for the unexpired term of the Director whose place shall be vacant. In all other cases any such vacancy shall be filled by the affirmative vote of the majority of the remaining Directors, and the Directors so elected shall hold office until their successors shall be elected and qualified.

(f) In all elections for Directors, each shareholder shall have the right to cast as many votes in the aggregate as shall equal the number of voting shares held by him multiplied by the number of Directors to be elected, and may cast the whole number of votes, either in person or by proxy, for one candidate or distribute such votes among two or more candidates; provided, however, that in case the Directors are to be elected by particular classes of stock as provided in the Articles of Incorporation, as amended, in the event of default in the payment of dividends on the Preferred Stock, each holder of the particular class of stock shall have the right to cast as many votes in the aggregate as shall equal the number of shares of such class held by him multiplied by the number of Directors to be elected by such class, and may cast the whole number of such votes for one candidate for Director to be elected by such class or may distribute such votes among two or more candidates for Directors to be elected by such class.

(g) Except as otherwise provided by law or by the Articles of Incorporation, as amended, the holders of record of a majority of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at such meeting; provided, that in no event shall a quorum consist of less than a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote, but less than such quorum shall have the right successively to adjourn the meeting to a specified date not longer than ninety days after such adjournment, without notice other than announcement at the meeting.

(h) No holder of Preferred Stock shall be entitled as such as a matter of right to subscribe for or purchase any part of any new or additional issue of stock or securities convertible into stock, of any class whatever, whether now or hereafter authorized, and whether issued for cash, property, services or otherwise.

(i) Upon the issuance for money or other consideration of any shares of capital stock of the Corporation or of any securities convertible into shares of capital stock of the Corporation, of any class whatever which may be authorized from time to time, no holder of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation shall be entitled as such as a matter of right to subscribe for, purchase or receive any proportionate or other share of the capital stock or securities so issued, but all or any portion of such capital stock may be disposed of by the

-7-

Corporation, as and when determined by the Board of Directors, free of any such rights, whether by offering the same to shareholders or by sale or other disposition as the Board of Directors may deem advisable; provided, however, that if the Board of Directors shall determine to issue and sell any shares of Common Stock (including, for the purposes of this paragraph, any security convertible into Common Stock, but excluding shares of such Common Stock and securities convertible into such Common Stock theretofore reacquired by the Corporation after having been duly issued, or issued to satisfy any conversion or option rights theretofore granted by the Corporation) solely for money and other than by:

(1) a public offering thereof, or

(2) an offering thereof to or through underwriters or dealers who shall agree promptly to make a public offering thereof, or

(3) The issue thereof in connection with (a) any dividend reinvestment, stock purchase or other plan in which the holders of the Common, Preferred or Preference Stock or customers of the Corporation or of any subsidiary of the Corporation may participate or (b) any stock ownership, stock purchase, stock option, stock bonus, savings, pension or other plan in connection with which employees or former employees (including officers and directors) of the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation may purchase or acquire Common Stock (or securities of the Corporation convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock) or any trust related to, or any agent acting with respect to, any such plan may purchase or acquire Common Stock (or securities of the Corporation convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock) on behalf of, or for the account or benefit of, such employees or former employees or, in case of any such trust, for the purpose of investing the funds of the trust, or

(4) any other offering thereof which shall have been authorized or approved by the affirmative consent (given in writing without a meeting or by vote at a meeting duly called for such purpose) of the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock then outstanding and entitled to vote,

such shares of Common Stock shall first be offered pro rata to the holders of record of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock (excluding outstanding shares of such Common Stock held for the benefit of holders of scrip certificates or other instruments representing fractional interests in a full share of such Common Stock) upon terms which, in the judgment of the Board of Directors, shall be not less favorable (without deduction of such reasonable compensation for the sale, underwriting or purchase of such shares by underwriters or dealers as may lawfully be paid by the Corporation) to the purchaser than the terms upon which such shares are offered to others than such holders of the Common Stock; provided that the Corporation shall not be obligated to offer or to issue any fractional interest in a full share of Common Stock; and provided further that the time within which such preemptive rights shall be exercised may be limited to such time as to the Board of Directors may seem proper, not less,

-8-

however, than fourteen days after the mailing of notice that such preemptive rights are available and may be exercised.

(j) So long as any shares of the Preferred Stock are outstanding, no amendment to the Articles of Incorporation which would change the express preferences, priorities or character of the Preferred Stock or the rate of dividend to be paid thereon in any manner substantially prejudicial to the holders thereof shall be made, except as hereinafter in subdivisions (k) and
(n) provided and except an amendment changing the number of the Board of Directors, without the affirmative consent (given in writing without a meeting or by vote at a meeting duly called for the purpose) of the holders of at least three-fourths of the aggregate number of shares of the Preferred Stock then outstanding; but such amendment may be made with such affirmative consent, together with such additional vote or consent of stockholders as from time to time may be required by law.

(k) So long as any of the shares of Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without the affirmative consent (given in writing without a meeting or by vote at a meeting duly called for the purpose) of the holders of at least two-thirds of the aggregate number of shares of the Preferred Stock then outstanding:

(1) sell or otherwise dispose of any shares of the Preferred Stock or of stock of any other class ranking on a parity with or having any preference over the Preferred Stock as to assets or dividends, unless the net earnings of the Corporation available for the payment of dividends on the Preferred Stock and on all such other classes of stock, computed in accordance with good accounting practice, for a period of any twelve consecutive calendar months within the fifteen calendar months immediately preceding the first day of the month in which such additional stock is issued are at least two and one-half times the annual dividend requirements on all shares of the Preferred Stock and of all other classes of stock ranking on a parity with or having any preference over the Preferred Stock as to assets or dividends, to be outstanding immediately after such proposed additional issue; and, in determining such net earnings available for the payment of dividends on the Preferred Stock and on all such other classes of stock, any dividend received by the Corporation during such period on stock of any subsidiary of the Corporation in excess of the net earnings of such subsidiary for such period available therefor, computed in accordance with good accounting practice, shall be included only to the extent of such net earnings of such subsidiary; or

(2) create any class of stock which shall be preferred as to dividends or assets over the Preferred Stock; or

(3) increase the authorized number of shares of the Preferred Stock; or

(4) reclassify outstanding shares of stock of any class ranking junior to the Preferred Stock as to assets or dividends, wholly or partially, into shares of stock of

-9-

any class ranking on a parity with or having any preference over the Preferred Stock as to assets or dividends; or

(5) make any distribution out of capital or capital surplus (other than dividends payable in stock ranking junior to the Preferred Stock as to assets and dividends) to holders of stock of the Corporation ranking junior to the Preferred Stock as to assets or dividends; or

(6) issue any shares of the Preferred Stock or any other stock ranking on a parity with or having any preference over the Preferred Stock as to assets or dividends, if the stated capital to be represented by the Preferred Stock and such other stock outstanding immediately after such issue would exceed the stated capital to be represented by shares of stock to be then outstanding ranking junior to the Preferred Stock as to assets and dividends, increased by the amount of any capital surplus or reduced by the amount of any deficit. For the purpose of this subdivision (6), stated capital represented by any preferred stock having a par value shall be the par value thereof, and stated capital represented by any preferred stock without par value shall be the amount of stated capital fixed by the Board of Directors with respect thereto at the time of issue thereof, or the amount payable to the holders thereof (exclusive of accrued and unpaid dividends) in preference to the Common Stock upon involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, whichever is greater;

but any such action requiring such affirmative consent of the holders of the Preferred Stock, as provided in this subdivision (k), may be taken with such vote or consent of stockholders as may at the time be required by law, but with at least the affirmative consent (given in writing without a meeting or by vote at a meeting duly called for the purpose) of the holders of two-thirds of the aggregate number of shares of Preferred Stock then outstanding. Stock shall not be considered to be outstanding for any of the purposes of this subdivision
(k) or of subdivision (j) above, if the Board of Directors shall have determined to redeem such stock and if the first publication of notice of redemption shall have been made, or irrevocable instructions given therefor, and all funds necessary for such redemption shall have been deposited in trust for such purpose.

(l) No amendment to the Articles of Incorporation which would change the provisions of the foregoing subdivisions (f), (g) or (i) in any manner substantially prejudicial to the holders of any class of stock, shall be made without the affirmative consent (given in writing without a meeting or by vote at a meeting duly called for such purpose) of the holders of at least two- thirds of the aggregate number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation then outstanding and entitled to vote; but such amendment may be made with such affirmative consent, together with such additional vote or consent of shareholders as from time to time may be required by law.

(m) No amendment to the Articles of Incorporation providing for the creation or increase of Preferred Stock of any class shall be made without the affirmative consent (given in

-10-

writing without a meeting or by vote at a meeting duly called for such purpose) of the holders of at least a majority of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation then outstanding; but such amendment may be made with such affirmative consent, together with such additional vote or consent of holders of Preferred Stock of the Corporation as shall at the time be required by the Articles of Incorporation, as amended.

(n) Subject to the provisions of subdivisions (j), (k), (l) and (m) hereof, the Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal, to the extent now or hereafter permitted by law, any provision in its Articles of Incorporation, as amended, (including the authorizing of preferred stock junior to the Preferred Stock as to dividends and assets and the changing of any authorized but unissued shares of the Preferred Stock to shares of another class or classes of preferred stock ranking on a parity with the Preferred Stock as to assets and dividends but which may have different dividend rates, redemption prices and other terms and provisions as may at the time be permitted by law) with such vote or consent of stockholders as from time to time may be required by law, and all rights herein conferred upon the shareholders are granted subject to this reservation.

(o) Subject to the provisions of subdivision (k) hereof, the Corporation may issue and dispose of its authorized but unissued shares without par value, from time to time, for such consideration as may from time to time be prescribed by the Board of Directors, and authority is hereby expressly conferred on the Board of Directors so to fix such consideration. The Board of Directors is also hereby expressly authorized to determine, at or before the time of issue thereof, what part of the consideration which shall be received by the Corporation upon the issue from time to time of shares of its capital stock without par value shall be capital, and, in the absence of any such determination, the entire consideration received for any particular shares shall be capital. Any and all shares without par value issued for the consideration so fixed shall be deemed fully paid and be non-assessable, and the holder of such shares shall not be liable thereon to the Corporation or its creditors.

(p) The Preference Stock shall have, or be subject to, as the case may be, the following preferences, rights, privileges and restrictions:

Manner of Issue - Series - The Board of Directors is empowered to cause the Preference Stock to be issued from time to time as shares of one or more series of Preference Stock, and in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of each particular series, before issuance, the Board of Directors is expressly authorized to fix:

(1) the distinctive serial designation of the shares of such series and the number of shares which shall constitute such series;

(2) the annual dividend rate for the particular series, the dates of payment of dividends on shares of such series and the dates from which they are cumulative;

(3) the redemption price per share and the terms of redemption for the shares of a particular series;

-11-

(4) the amount or amounts per share (exclusive of accrued and unpaid dividends) for the particular series payable to the holders thereof in case of dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation;

(5) the terms and conditions, if any, upon which shares of the particular series shall be convertible into, or exchangeable for, shares of any stock of junior rank, with respect to dividends and assets, including the price or prices or the rate or rates of conversion or exchange and the terms of adjustment thereof, if any;

(6) the terms and amount of any sinking fund created for the purchase or redemption of the shares of any particular series; and

(7) any other characteristics of, and any restrictive or other provisions relating to, the shares of each particular series not inconsistent with the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation, as amended, as the Board of Directors may by law be permitted to fix.

All shares of Preference Stock shall be of junior rank, with respect to dividends and assets, to all shares of Preferred Stock and of senior rank in such respects to all shares of Common Stock. All shares of Preference Stock of any one series shall be identical with each other in all respects except, in the event portions of the shares of a single series are issued at different times, the date from which dividends thereon shall be cumulative; and all shares of all series shall be of equal rank as to dividends and assets with each other, regardless of series, and shall be identical with each other in all respects except as hereinabove provided.

Dividends - Dividends on Preference Stock of any series shall be payable at annual rates and on dates fixed by the Board of Directors at the time of the creation of such series, payable quarter-yearly on such dates as shall be fixed for such payments by the Board of Directors. The right of holders of Preference Stock to receive dividends shall be subject to the dividend and sinking fund provisions of the Preferred Stock. Dividends on the Preference Stock shall be cumulative, and no dividends shall be declared or paid, or any distribution made, on Common Stock, other than a dividend payable in Common Stock, unless and until full dividends on the outstanding Preference Stock shall have been paid, or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set aside, with respect to all past dividend periods and the current dividend period. Dividends on shares of any series of Preference Stock shall accrue from and be cumulative from such date as may be fixed by the Board of Directors at the time of the creation of such series, except that dividends on shares of Preference Stock of any series, which are issued after the initial issue of shares of such series, shall accrue from and be cumulative from such date as may be fixed by the Board of Directors at the time of issuance of such additional shares.

Redemption - If so provided by the Board of Directors upon the creation of any series of Preference Stock, the Corporation, at the option of the Board of Directors, or in accordance with the requirements of any sinking fund for the Preference Stock or any series thereof, may redeem the whole or any part of the Preference Stock at any time outstanding, or

-12-

the whole or any part of any series thereof, at such time or times and from time to time as may be determined by the Board of Directors and at such redemption price or prices as may have been fixed by the Board of Directors at the time of the creation of the shares so to be redeemed, together with an amount equal to all unpaid dividends accrued thereon to the date fixed for such redemption, and otherwise upon the terms and conditions fixed by the Board of Directors for any such redemption; provided, however, that no redemption of any Preference Stock shall be effected unless (1) full dividends on all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock and Preference Stock for all past dividend periods shall have been paid, or declared and a sufficient sum set apart for the payment thereof, and (2) all obligations of the Corporation, if any, with respect to the redemption or purchase of shares of Preferred Stock and Preference Stock in accordance with the requirements of any sinking fund have been met.

Liquidation, Dissolution and Winding Up of the Affairs of the Corporation - In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, but only after full payment has been made to the holders of the Preferred Stock of all amounts to which they are entitled by these Articles of Incorporation, as amended, or a sufficient sum set apart for such payment, the holders of shares of each series of Preference Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Corporation, before any distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of the Common Stock, the amount fixed by the Board of Directors in creating such series, plus an amount equal to all unpaid dividends accrued thereon to the date fixed for such payment to the holders of Preference Stock.

Voting Rights - Except as otherwise provided in these Articles of Incorporation, as amended, each holder of Preference Stock shall be entitled at all meetings of shareholders of the Corporation to one vote for each share of such stock held by him; and the holders of Preference Stock shall vote together with the holders of the Preferred Stock and the Common Stock as a single class, except in those instances where these Articles of Incorporation, as amended, grant to the holders of Preferred Stock or Common Stock the right to vote as a separate class. The voting rights of the holders of Preference Stock in an election of directors shall be identical with the voting rights of the holders of Common Stock in such election, as set forth in these Articles of Incorporation, as amended, and the provision for filling vacancies in the Board of Directors that are by said amended Articles applicable to holders of the Common Stock shall be equally applicable to holders of the Preference Stock.

Whenever four quarter-yearly dividends payable on the Preference Stock shall be in default, and during the continuance of such default, the Common Stock and the Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class, shall be entitled to elect the same number of directors as was authorized by the Articles of Incorporation immediately prior to such default, and the Preference Stock, as a class, shall be entitled to elect two additional directors.

The person in whose name any New Bond is registered at the close of business on any record date with respect to any interest payment date shall be entitled to receive the interest payable on such interest payment date notwithstanding the cancellation of such Bond upon any transfer or exchange thereof subsequent to the record date and prior to such interest payment date, except if and to the extent the Company shall default in the payment of the interest due on such interest payment date, in which case such defaulted interest shall be paid to the person in whose name such Bond is registered on the date of payment of such defaulted interest or on a subsequent record date for such payment if one shall have been established as hereinafter provided. A subsequent record date may be established by the Company by notice mailed to the holders of the New Bonds not less than ten days preceding such record date, which record date shall be not more than thirty days prior to the subsequent interest payment date. The term "record date" as used in this Section with respect to any regular interest payment date shall mean the April 15 or October 15, as the case may be, next preceding such interest payment date, or, if such April 15 or October 15 shall be a legal holiday in the State of New York or in the State of Missouri or a day on which banking institutions in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or the City of St. Louis, Missouri, are authorized by law to close, the next preceding day which shall not be a legal holiday or a day on which such institutions are so authorized to close.

The Company has reserved the right to amend the Amended Indenture without any consent or other action by holders of bonds of any series created by the Supplemental Indenture of August 16, 1976, or by any supplemental indenture dated thereafter, including the Supplemental Indenture of May 1, 1993, to provide that the Amended Indenture may be modified or altered with the consent of the holders of not less than 60% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds; and if less than all series of Bonds are affected with the consent also of the holders of not less than 60% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds of each series so affected. Additionally, the Company has reserved the right to amend the Amended Indenture, as supplemented, to authorize amendments thereto by an appropriate written consent of not less than 60% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds outstanding without a meeting of such Bondholders. No such modification or alteration shall be made which will affect the terms of payment of the principal of, or interest or premium on, this Bond, which are unconditional. The Bonds may be issued in series, for various principal sums, may mature at different times, may bear interest at different rates and may otherwise vary as in the Amended Indenture provided. This Bond is one of a series designated as the "First Mortgage Bonds, 6 3/4% Series due 2008" (herein called the "Bonds of this Series") of the Company, issued under and secured by the Amended Indenture and described in the indenture (hereinafter called the "New Supplemental Indenture") dated May 1, 1993, between the Company and the Trustee, supplemental to the Amended Indenture.

The Bonds of this Series are not entitled to the benefit of any improvement, maintenance or analogous fund.

The Bonds of this Series are not subject to redemption prior to maturity.

-15-

In case an event of default, as defined in the Amended Indenture, shall occur, the principal of all the Bonds at any such time outstanding under the Amended Indenture may be declared or may become due and payable, upon the conditions and in the manner and with the effect provided in the Amended Indenture. The Amended Indenture provides that such declaration may in certain events be waived by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Bonds outstanding.

This Bond is transferable by the registered owner hereof, in person or by duly authorized attorney, on the books of the Company to be kept for that purpose at the office of the Company in the City of St. Louis, Missouri, upon surrender and cancellation of this Bond and on presentation of a duly executed written instrument of transfer, and thereupon a new Bond or Bonds of the same series, of the same aggregate principal amount and in authorized denominations will be issued to the transferee or transferees in exchange herefor, without payment of any charge other than stamp taxes and other governmental charges incident thereto; and this Bond with or without others of like series, may in like manner be exchanged for one or more new Bonds of the same series of other authorized denominations but of the same aggregate principal amount; all subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Amended Indenture.

The Bonds of this Series are to be issued initially under a book- entry only system and, except as hereinafter provided, will be registered in the name of The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York ("DTC") or its nominee, which shall be considered to be the holder of all of the Bonds of this Series for all purposes of the Mortgage, including, without limitation, payment by the Company of principal of and interest on such Bonds of this Series and receipt of notices and exercise of rights of holders of such Bonds of this Series. There shall be a single global bond of this series which shall be immobilized in the custody of DTC or its designee with the owners of book-entry interest in Bonds of this Series ("Book-Entry Interests") having no right to receive Bonds of this Series in the form of physical securities or certificates. Ownership of Book-Entry Interests shall be shown by book-entry on the system maintained and operated by DTC, its participants (the "Participants") and certain persons acting through the Participants. Transfers of ownership of Book-Entry Interests are to be made only by DTC and the Participants by that book-entry system, the Company and the Trustee having no responsibility therefor so long as Bonds of this Series are registered in the name of DTC or its nominee. DTC is to maintain records of the positions of Participants in Bonds of this Series, and the Participants and persons acting through Participants are to maintain records of the purchasers and owners of Book-Entry Interests. If DTC or its nominee determines not to continue to act as a depository for the Bonds of this Series in connection with a book-entry only system, another depository, if available, may act instead and the single global bond of this series will be transferred into the name of such other depository or its nominee, in which case the above provisions will continue to apply but to the new depository. If the book-entry only system for Bonds of this Series is

-16-

discontinued by the Company for any reason, upon surrender and cancellation of the single global bond of this series registered in the name of the then depository or its nominee, new registered Bonds of this Series will be issued in authorized denominations to the holders of Book-Entry Interests in principal amounts coinciding with the amounts of such Book-Entry Interests shown on the book-entry system immediately prior to the discontinuance thereof. Neither the Trustee nor the Company shall be responsible for the accuracy of the interests shown on that system.

No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, on or the interest on, this Bond, or for any claim based hereon or on the Amended Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, or against any stockholder, director or officer, past, present or future, of the Company, or of any predecessor or successor corporation, either directly or through the Company or any such predecessor or successor corporation, whether for amounts unpaid on stock subscriptions or by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability, whether at common law, in equity, by any constitution, statute or otherwise, of incorporators, stockholders, directors or officers being released by every owner hereof by the acceptance of this Bond and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, and being likewise released by the terms of the Amended Indenture.

SECTION 4. Until New Bonds in definitive form are ready for delivery, the Company may execute, and upon its request in writing the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu thereof, New Bonds in temporary form, as provided in Section 9 of Article II of the Original Indenture.

SECTION 2. That, so long as any of the New Bonds are outstanding, whenever any officers' certificate is required to be filed or deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 3(b) of Article III of the Original Indenture upon an application for the authentication of additional Bonds pursuant to Article III of the Original Indenture, such officers' certificate shall include, in addition to the matters required to be stated therein by said Section 3(b), the statement with respect to the net earnings of the Company available for interest after property retirement appropriations required by Section 2 of Article V of the Supplemental Indenture of July 1, 1956.

SECTION 3. That, so long as any of the New Bonds are outstanding, the Company will not apply for the authentication and delivery of additional Bonds pursuant to Section 4 of Article III of the Original Indenture or the withdrawal

-18-

Section 3 of Article V of the Supplemental Indenture of October 1, 1945, or on the basis of the amount of $7,500,000 excluded from net bondable value of property additions not subject to an unfunded prior lien pursuant to Section 3 of Article V of the Supplemental Indenture of July 1, 1956.

SECTION 4. That, so long as any of the New Bonds are outstanding, the Company will not issue or permit to be issued any prior lien bonds secured by an unfunded prior lien in addition to the prior lien bonds secured by such unfunded prior lien at the time of first acquisition by the Company of property subject thereto (other than in lieu of lost, stolen or mutilated bonds or on the exchange for bonds already outstanding of an equal principal amount of other bonds of the same issue and the same series, if any, and of the same maturity), except upon compliance with the provisions of Section 16 of Article IV of the Original Indenture, nor unless the net earnings of the Company available for interest after property retirement appropriations (determined as provided in Section 2 of Article V of the Supplemental Indenture of July 1, 1956), for any twelve consecutive calendar months during the period of fifteen calendar months immediately preceding the first day of the month in which the additional prior lien bonds are to be issued, have been, in the aggregate, equal to not less than twice the annual interest charges on the indebtedness specified in subparagraphs (i) and (ii) of paragraph (1) of Section 2(a) of said Article V; provided that, if the application for the issue of such additional prior lien bonds is upon the basis of payment at maturity of prior lien bonds theretofore sold or otherwise disposed of or the redemption or purchase thereof after a date two years prior to the date of maturity, the additional requirement imposed by this Section 4 with respect to net earnings of the Company available for interest after property retirement appropriations shall not apply. Any officers' certificate with respect to net earnings of the Company, required to be filed with the Trustee as a condition precedent to the issue of such additional prior lien bonds, shall include, in addition to the matters otherwise required to be stated therein, the matters required to be stated in an officers' certificate pursuant to paragraphs (1) and (2) of Section 2(a) of said Article V.

SECTION 5. That, so long as any of the New Bonds are outstanding, the Company will not acquire, by purchase, merger or otherwise, any property subject to a lien or liens which will on acquisition be an unfunded prior lien or prior liens, except upon compliance with the provisions of Section 14 of Article IV of the Original Indenture, nor unless the net earnings of such property available for interest after property retirement appropriations (determined in the manner provided in

Any officers' certificate with respect to net earnings of such property, required to be filed with the Trustee as a condition precedent to the acquisition of such property, shall include, in addition to the matters otherwise required to be stated therein, the matters required to be stated in an officers' certificate pursuant to Section 2 of said Article V applicable, however, only to the net earnings of such property and to the indebtedness secured by such liens to which such property is subject.

ARTICLE VI.

CONSENTS AND AGREEMENTS OF HOLDERS OF THE NEW BONDS
TO CERTAIN MATTERS

The Company, and the holders of the New Bonds by their acceptance and holding thereof, hereby consent and agree as follows:

(A) When the provisions of this Article VI shall become effective as provided in Subdivision (B) hereof, the provisions of the Original Indenture shall become and shall be deemed to have been, amended, effective on said date, by the Supplemental Indenture dated February 1, 1974, in the following respects:

-20-

(1) by inserting the following paragraph after the definition of "Nonbondable property" in Article I of the Original Indenture;

"Nuclear fuel:

The term 'Nuclear fuel' shall mean (a) any fuel element, including nuclear fuel and associated means (and any similar or analogous device or substance), whether or not classified as fuel and whether or not chargeable to operating expenses, comprising or intended to comprise or formerly comprising the core, or other part of a nuclear reactor or any similar or analogous device, (b) any fuel element, including nuclear fuel and associated means (and any similar or analogous device or substance) while in the process of fabrication or preparation and special nuclear or other materials held for use in such fabrication or preparation, (c) any substances or materials formerly comprising such nuclear fuel and associated means (or any similar or analogous device or substance) and which substances or materials are undergoing or have undergone reprocessing and (d) uranium, thorium, plutonium, and any other substance or material from time to time used or selected for use by the Company as fuel material, or as potential fuel material, in a nuclear reactor or any similar or analogous device."

(2) by deleting the word "and" at the end of subparagraph (e) of the definition of "Permitted liens" in Article I of the Original Indenture, changing the period at the end of subparagraph (f) of such definition to "; and", and adding a new subparagraph (g) reading as follows:

"(g) any controls, liens, restrictions, regulations, easements, exceptions or reservations of any governmental authority applying particularly to 'Nuclear fuel'."

(3) by deleting the word "and" at the end of subparagraph (d) of the third paragraph of the definition of "Property additions" in Article I of the Original Indenture, changing the period at the end of subparagraph (e) to "; and" and adding a new subparagraph (f) reading as follows:

"(f) anything in this Indenture notwithstanding, the term 'Property additions' shall include 'Nuclear fuel'."

(4) by inserting after the words "such property additions" when first used in subdivision (4) of subparagraph (f) of Section 4 of Article III of the Original Indenture the following:

", provided that, in the case of property additions constituting all or part of a facility for the production of electricity by use of a nuclear reactor or any similar or analogous device, or Nuclear fuel materials, assemblies or components for use therein, in respect of which the

-21-

application is made prior to receipt of necessary authority to operate such facility, such opinion need only state that (i) the Company has necessary authority to own such property additions and
(ii) in the case of property additions for which construction authority is necessary, the Company has necessary authority to construct the same."

and

(5) by inserting after the words "any machinery or equipment," in subparagraph (a) of Section 2 of Article VII of the Original Indenture the following:

"or any Nuclear fuel materials, assemblies or components,"

(B) The provisions of this Article VI shall become effective on the earliest date on which either (a) no Bonds of a Series prior to the Bonds of 2004 Series (as described in the Supplemental Indenture dated February 1, 1974) shall be outstanding or (b) the amendment to the Original Indenture provided in Article VII of the Supplemental Indenture dated February 1, 1974, shall have become effective upon vote of the holders of Bonds as provided in Article XV of the Original Indenture, provided that no vote of the holders of the Bonds of 2004 Series or Bonds of any series created thereafter shall be required for effecting such amendments.

ARTICLE VII.

RESERVATIONS BY COMPANY TO
AMEND ORIGINAL INDENTURE.

SECTION 1. The Company reserves the right, subject to appropriate corporate action, but without any consent or other action by holders of Bonds of any series created by the Supplemental Indenture of August 16, 1976, or by any supplemental indenture dated thereafter, including this Supplemental Indenture, to make such amendments to the Original Indenture, as supplemented, as shall be necessary in order to amend Article XV thereof so as to substitute "sixty percent. (60%)" for "eighty percent. (80%)" wherever appearing in said Article XV.

SECTION 2. The Company reserves the right, subject to appropriate corporate action, but without any consent or other action by holders of Bonds of any series created by the Supplemental Indenture of August 16, 1976, or by any supplemental indenture dated thereafter, including this Supplemental Indenture, to make such amendments to the Original Indenture, as supplemented, as shall

-22-

be necessary in order to amend Article XV thereof by adding thereto a
Section 9 to read as follows:

"SECTION 9. (A) Anything in this Article XV contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall receive the written consent (in any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by Bondholders or by their attorneys appointed in writing) of the holders of sixty percent. (60%) or more in principal amount of the Bonds outstanding hereunder, and, if the rights of one or more, but less than all, series of Bonds then outstanding are to be affected by action taken pursuant to such consent, then also by consent of the holders of at least sixty per cent. (60%) in principal amount of each series of Bonds so to be affected and outstanding hereunder (at the time the last such needed consent is delivered to the Trustee) in lieu of the holding of a meeting pursuant to this Article XV and in lieu of all action at such a meeting and with the same force and effect as a resolution duly adopted in accordance with the provisions of Section 6 of this Article XV.

(B) Instruments of consent shall be witnessed or in the alternative may (a) have the signature guaranteed by a bank or trust company or a registered dealer in securities, (b) be acknowledged before a Notary Public or other officer authorized to take acknowledgements, or (c) have their genuineness otherwise established to the satisfaction of the Trustee.

The amount of Bonds payable to bearer, and the series and serial numbers thereof, held by a person executing an instrument of consent (or whose attorney has executed an instrument of consent in his behalf), and the date of his holding the same may be proved by exhibiting the Bonds to and obtaining a certificate executed by (i) any bank or trust or insurance company, or (ii) any trustee, secretary, administrator or other proper officer of any pension, welfare, hospitalization or similar fund or funds, or (iii) the United States of America, any Territory thereof, the District of Columbia, any State of the United States or any public instrumentality of the United States, or of any State or of any Territory, or (iv) any other person or corporation satisfactory to the Trustee. A Bondholder in any of the foregoing categories may sign a certificate in his own behalf.

Each such certificate shall be dated and shall state, in effect, that as of the date thereof, a coupon Bond or Bonds bearing a specified serial number or numbers was deposited with or exhibited to the signer of such certificate. The holding by the person named in any such certificate of any Bond specified therein shall be presumed to continue unless (1) any certificate bearing a later date issued in respect of the same Bond shall be produced, (2) the Bond specified in such certificate (or any Bond or Bonds issued in exchange or substitution for such Bond) shall be produced by another holder, or
(3) the Bond specified in such certificate shall be registered as to principal in the name of another holder or shall have been surrendered in exchange for

-23-

a fully registered bond registered in the name of another holder. The Trustee may nevertheless, in his discretion, require further proof in cases where it deems further proof desirable. The ownership of registered Bonds shall be proved by the registry books.

(C) Until such time as the Trustee shall receive the written consent of the necessary per cent. in principal amount of the Bonds required by the provisions of subsection (A) above for action contemplated by such consent, any holder of a Bond, the serial number of which is shown by the evidence to be included in the Bonds the holders of which have consented to such action, may, by filing written notice with the Trustee at its principal office and upon proof of holding as provided in subsection (B) above, revoke such consent so far as it concerns such Bond. Except as aforesaid, any such action taken by the holder of any Bond shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all future holders of such Bond (and any Bond issued in lieu thereof or exchanged therefor), irrespective of whether or not any notation of such consent is made upon such Bond, and in any event any action taken by the holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds specified in subsection (A) above in connection with such action shall be conclusively binding upon the Company, the Trustee and the holders of all the Bonds."

ARTICLE VIII.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

SECTION 1. Except as otherwise defined herein, all terms contained in this Supplemental Indenture shall, for all purposes thereof, have the meanings given to such terms in Article I of the Original Indenture.

SECTION 2. 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.

SECTION 1. There is hereby created a new series of Bonds to be executed, authenticated and delivered under and secured by the Original Indenture which shall, subject to the provisions of Section 1 of Article II of the Original Indenture, be designated as "First Mortgage Bonds, 7.15% Series due 2023" (the "New Bonds") of the Company. The New 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 Original Indenture.

The New Bonds shall mature August 1, 2023, and shall bear interest at the rate per annum set forth in the form of the New Bond contained in
Section 3 of

-11-

this Article I, payable semi-annually on the first day of February and the first day of August in each year. The New Bonds shall be payable as to principal, premium, if any, and interest 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, and shall be payable at the office of the Company in the City of St. Louis, Missouri; provided, however, that at the option of the Company, interest on the New Bonds may be paid by checks mailed to the registered holder in whose name such Bonds are registered at the address as it shall appear on the transfer register of the Company.

SECTION 2. The New Bonds shall be registered Bonds without coupons, of the denomination of $1,000 or any integral multiple thereof.

The New Bonds shall be transferable and exchangeable for the New Bonds of other denominations, as in the Original Indenture provided, except that payment of a service charge therefor will not be required by the Company.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6 of Article II of the Original Indenture, the New Bonds shall be dated the date of authentication and shall bear interest from the interest payment date to which interest on the New Bonds has been paid next preceding the date thereof, unless such date is an interest payment date to which interest has been paid, in which case they shall bear interest from the date thereof, or unless the date thereof is prior to February 1, 1994, in which case they shall bear interest from August 1, 1993; provided, however, that, subject to the provisions of this Section with respect to failure by the Company to pay any interest on an interest payment date, the holder of any New Bond dated after a record date (as hereinafter defined) for the payment of interest and prior to the date of payment of such interest shall not be entitled to payment of such interest and shall have no claim against the Company with respect thereto.

The person in whose name any New Bond is registered at the close of business on any record date with respect to any interest payment date shall be entitled to receive the interest payable on such interest payment date notwithstanding the cancellation of such Bond upon any transfer or exchange thereof subsequent to the record date and prior to such interest payment date, except if and to the extent the Company shall default in the payment of the interest due on such interest payment date, in which case such defaulted interest shall be paid to the person in whose name such Bond is registered on the date of payment of such defaulted interest or on a subsequent record date for such payment if one shall have been established as hereinafter provided. A subsequent record date may be established by the Company by notice mailed to the holders of the New Bonds not less than ten days preceding such record date, which record date shall be not more than thirty days prior to the subsequent interest payment date. The term "record date" as used in this Section with respect to any regular interest payment date shall mean the January 15 or July 15, as the case may be, next preceding such interest payment date, or, if such January 15 or

-12-

July 15 shall be a legal holiday in the State of New York or in the State of Missouri or a day on which banking institutions in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or the City of St. Louis, Missouri, are authorized by law to close, the next preceding day which shall not be a legal holiday or a day on which such institutions are so authorized to close.

SECTION 3. The New Bonds and the Trustee's certificate on the New Bonds shall be substantially in the following forms respectively:

[form of reverse of new bond]

This Bond is one of a duly authorized issue of Bonds of the Company (herein called the "Bonds"), in unlimited aggregate principal amount, of the series hereinafter specified, all issued and to be issued under and equally secured by indenture of mortgage and deed of trust, dated June 15, 1937, executed by the Company to Boatmen's Trust Company, (herein called the "Trustee"), as trustee, as amended by indentures supplemental thereto dated May 1, 1941, April 1, 1971, February 1, 1974, and July 7, 1980, between the Company and the Trustee (said mortgage and deed of trust, as so amended, being herein called the "Amended Indenture"), to which Amended Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the properties mortgaged and pledged, the nature and extent of the security, the rights of the bearers or registered owners of the Bonds and of the Trustee in respect thereto, and the terms and conditions upon which the Bonds are, and are to be, secured. To the extent permitted by, and as provided in, the Amended Indenture, modifications or alterations of the Amended Indenture, or of any indenture supplemental thereto, and of the rights and obligations of the Company and of the holders of the Bonds may be made with the consent of the Company by an affirmative vote of not less than 80% in amount of the Bonds entitled to vote then outstanding, at a meeting of Bondholders called and held as provided in the Amended Indenture, and by an affirmative vote of not less than 80% in amount of the Bonds of any series entitled to vote then outstanding and affected by such modification or alteration, in case one or more but less than all of the series of Bonds then outstanding under the Amended Indenture are so affected. The Company has reserved the right to amend the Amended Indenture without any consent or other action by holders of bonds of any series created by the Supplemental Indenture of August 16, 1976, or by any supplemental indenture dated thereafter, including the Supplemental Indenture of August 1, 1993, to provide that the Amended Indenture may be modified or altered with the consent of the holders of not less than 60% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds; and if less than all series of Bonds are affected with the consent also of the holders of not less than 60% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds of each series so affected. Additionally, the Company has reserved the right to amend the Amended Indenture, as supplemented, to authorize amendments thereto by an appropriate written consent of not less than 60% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds outstanding without a meeting of such Bondholders. No such modification or alteration shall be made which will affect the terms of payment of the principal of, or interest or premium on, this Bond, which are unconditional. The Bonds may be issued in series, for various principal sums, may mature at different times, may bear interest at different rates and may otherwise vary as in the Amended Indenture provided. This Bond is one of a series designated as the "First Mortgage Bonds, 7.15% Series due 2023" (herein called the "Bonds of this Series") of the Company, issued under and secured by the Amended Indenture and described in the indenture (hereinafter called the

-15-

"New Supplemental Indenture") dated August 1, 1993, between the Company and the Trustee, supplemental to the Amended Indenture.

The Bonds of this Series are not entitled to the benefit of any improvement, maintenance or analogous fund.

The Bonds of this Series will be redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, at any time, upon the payment of redemption prices applicable to the respective periods set forth below; provided, however, that none of such Bonds shall be redeemed prior to August 1, 2003.

in each case, together with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption.

Such redemption in every case shall be effected upon notice sent by the Company to the registered owner hereof, postage prepaid, at least thirty and not more than sixty days prior to the date of redemption, all subject to the conditions of, and as more fully set forth in, the Amended Indenture and the New Supplemental Indenture.

In case an event of default, as defined in the Amended Indenture, shall occur, the principal of all the Bonds at any such time outstanding under the Amended Indenture may be declared or may become due and payable, upon the conditions and in the manner and with the effect provided in the Amended Indenture. The Amended Indenture provides that such declaration may in certain events be waived by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Bonds outstanding.

This Bond is transferable by the registered owner hereof, in person or by duly authorized attorney, on the books of the Company to be kept for that purpose at the office of the Company in the City of St. Louis, Missouri, upon surrender and cancellation of this Bond and on presentation of a duly executed written instrument of transfer, and thereupon a new Bond or Bonds of the same series, of the same aggregate principal amount and in authorized denominations will be issued to the transferee or transferees in exchange herefor, without

-16-

payment of any charge other than stamp taxes and other governmental charges incident thereto; and this Bond with or without others of like series, may in like manner be exchanged for one or more new Bonds of the same series of other authorized denominations but of the same aggregate principal amount; all subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Amended Indenture.

The Bonds of this Series are to be issued initially under a book- entry only system and, except as hereinafter provided, will be registered in the name of The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York ("DTC") or its nominee, which shall be considered to be the holder of all of the Bonds of this Series for all purposes of the Mortgage, including, without limitation, payment by the Company of principal of and interest on such Bonds of this Series and receipt of notices and exercise of rights of holders of such Bonds of this Series. There shall be a single global bond of this series which shall be immobilized in the custody of DTC or its designee with the owners of book-entry interest in Bonds of this Series ("Book-Entry Interests") having no right to receive Bonds of this Series in the form of physical securities or certificates. Ownership of Book-Entry Interests shall be shown by book-entry on the system maintained and operated by DTC, its participants (the "Participants") and certain persons acting through the Participants. Transfers of ownership of Book-Entry Interests are to be made only by DTC and the Participants by that book-entry system, the Company and the Trustee having no responsibility therefor so long as Bonds of this Series are registered in the name of DTC or its nominee. DTC is to maintain records of the positions of Participants in Bonds of this Series, and the Participants and persons acting through Participants are to maintain records of the purchasers and owners of Book-Entry Interests. If DTC or its nominee determines not to continue to act as a depository for the Bonds of this Series in connection with a book-entry only system, another depository, if available, may act instead and the single global bond of this series will be transferred into the name of such other depository or its nominee, in which case the above provisions will continue to apply but to the new depository. If the book-entry only system for Bonds of this Series is discontinued by the Company for any reason, upon surrender and cancellation of the single global bond of this series registered in the name of the then depository or its nominee, new registered Bonds of this Series will be issued in authorized denominations to the holders of Book-Entry Interests in principal amounts coinciding with the amounts of such Book-Entry Interests shown on the book-entry system immediately prior to the discontinuance thereof. Neither the Trustee nor the Company shall be responsible for the accuracy of the interests shown on that system.

No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, on or the interest on, this Bond, or for any claim based hereon or on the Amended Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, or against any stockholder, director or officer, past, present or future, of the Company, or of any predecessor or successor corporation, either directly or through the Company or any such predecessor or successor

-17-

corporation, whether for amounts unpaid on stock subscriptions or by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability, whether at common law, in equity, by any constitution, statute or otherwise, of incorporators, stockholders, directors or officers being released by every owner hereof by the acceptance of this Bond and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, and being likewise released by the terms of the Amended Indenture.

CONSENTS AND AGREEMENTS OF HOLDERS OF THE NEW BONDS

The Company, and the holders of the New Bonds by their acceptance and holding thereof, hereby consent and agree as follows:

(A) When the provisions of this Article VI shall become effective as provided in Subdivision (B) hereof, the provisions of the Original Indenture shall become and shall be deemed to have been, amended, effective on said date, by the Supplemental Indenture dated February 1, 1974, in the following respects:

"(g) any controls, liens, restrictions, regulations, easements, exceptions or reservations of any governmental authority applying particularly to 'Nuclear fuel'."

(3) by deleting the word "and" at the end of subparagraph (d) of the third paragraph of the definition of "Property additions" in Article I of the Original Indenture, changing the period at the end of subparagraph (e) to "; and" and adding a new subparagraph (f) reading as follows:

"(f) anything in this Indenture notwithstanding, the term 'Property additions' shall include 'Nuclear fuel'."

(4) by inserting after the words "such property additions" when first used in subdivision (4) of subparagraph (f) of Section 4 of Article III of the Original Indenture the following:

", provided that, in the case of property additions constituting all or part of a facility for the production of electricity by use of a nuclear reactor or any similar or analogous device, or Nuclear fuel materials, assemblies or components for use therein, in respect of which the application is made prior to receipt of necessary authority to operate such facility, such opinion need only state that (i) the Company has necessary authority to own such property additions and (ii) in the case of property additions for which construction authority is necessary, the Company has necessary authority to construct the same."

and

(5) by inserting after the words "any machinery or equipment," in subparagraph (a) of Section 2 of Article VII of the Original Indenture the following:

"or any Nuclear fuel materials, assemblies or components,"

(B) The provisions of this Article VI shall become effective on the earliest date on which either (a) no Bonds of a Series prior to the Bonds of 2004 Series (as described in the Supplemental Indenture dated February 1, 1974) shall be outstanding or (b) the amendment to the Original Indenture provided in Article VII of the Supplemental Indenture dated February 1,

ARTICLE VII.

RESERVATIONS BY COMPANY TO
AMEND ORIGINAL INDENTURE.

SECTION 1. The Company reserves the right, subject to appropriate corporate action, but without any consent or other action by holders of Bonds of any series created by the Supplemental Indenture of August 16, 1976, or by any supplemental indenture dated thereafter, including this Supplemental Indenture, to make such amendments to the Original Indenture, as supplemented, as shall be necessary in order to amend Article XV thereof so as to substitute "sixty percent. (60%)" for "eighty percent. (80%)" wherever appearing in said Article XV.

SECTION 2. The Company reserves the right, subject to appropriate corporate action, but without any consent or other action by holders of Bonds of any series created by the Supplemental Indenture of August 16, 1976, or by any supplemental indenture dated thereafter, including this Supplemental Indenture, to make such amendments to the Original Indenture, as supplemented, as shall be necessary in order to amend Article XV thereof by adding thereto a Section 9 to read as follows:

"SECTION 9. (A) Anything in this Article XV contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall receive the written consent (in any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by Bondholders or by their attorneys appointed in writing) of the holders of sixty percent. (60%) or more in principal amount of the Bonds outstanding hereunder, and, if the rights of one or more, but less than all, series of Bonds then outstanding are to be affected by action taken pursuant to such consent, then also by consent of the holders of at least sixty per cent. (60%) in principal amount of each series of Bonds so to be affected and outstanding hereunder (at the time the last such needed consent is delivered to the Trustee) in lieu of the holding of a meeting pursuant to this Article XV and in lieu of all action at such a meeting and with the same force and effect as a resolution duly adopted in accordance with the provisions of Section 6 of this Article XV.

-24-

(B) Instruments of consent shall be witnessed or in the alternative may (a) have the signature guaranteed by a bank or trust company or a registered dealer in securities, (b) be acknowledged before a Notary Public or other officer authorized to take acknowledgements, or (c) have their genuineness otherwise established to the satisfaction of the Trustee.

The amount of Bonds payable to bearer, and the series and serial numbers thereof, held by a person executing an instrument of consent (or whose attorney has executed an instrument of consent in his behalf), and the date of his holding the same may be proved by exhibiting the Bonds to and obtaining a certificate executed by (i) any bank or trust or insurance company, or (ii) any trustee, secretary, administrator or other proper officer of any pension, welfare, hospitalization or similar fund or funds, or (iii) the United States of America, any Territory thereof, the District of Columbia, any State of the United States or any public instrumentality of the United States, or of any State or of any Territory, or (iv) any other person or corporation satisfactory to the Trustee. A Bondholder in any of the foregoing categories may sign a certificate in his own behalf.

Each such certificate shall be dated and shall state, in effect, that as of the date thereof, a coupon Bond or Bonds bearing a specified serial number or numbers was deposited with or exhibited to the signer of such certificate. The holding by the person named in any such certificate of any Bond specified therein shall be presumed to continue unless (1) any certificate bearing a later date issued in respect of the same Bond shall be produced, (2) the Bond specified in such certificate (or any Bond or Bonds issued in exchange or substitution for such Bond) shall be produced by another holder, or
(3) the Bond specified in such certificate shall be registered as to principal in the name of another holder or shall have been surrendered in exchange for a fully registered bond registered in the name of another holder. The Trustee may nevertheless, in his discretion, require further proof in cases where it deems further proof desirable. The ownership of registered Bonds shall be proved by the registry books.

(C) Until such time as the Trustee shall receive the written consent of the necessary per cent. in principal amount of the Bonds required by the provisions of subsection (A) above for action contemplated by such consent, any holder of a Bond, the serial number of which is shown by the evidence to be included in the Bonds the holders of which have consented to such action, may, by filing written notice with the Trustee at its principal office and upon proof of holding as provided in subsection (B) above, revoke such consent so far as it concerns such Bond. Except as aforesaid, any such action taken by the holder of any Bond shall be conclusive and binding upon

-25-

such holder and upon all future holders of such Bond (and any Bond issued in lieu thereof or exchanged therefor), irrespective of whether or not any notation of such consent is made upon such Bond, and in any event any action taken by the holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds specified in subsection (A) above in connection with such action shall be conclusively binding upon the Company, the Trustee and the holders of all the Bonds."

ARTICLE VIII.

The Company has entered into a Loan Agreement (the "Agreement") with the Authority to provide for the payment of an issue by the Authority of $44,000,000 principal amount of Environmental Improvement Revenue Bonds (Union Electric Company Project) Series 1993, dated October 1, 1993 (the "Revenue Bonds"), issued pursuant to an Indenture of Trust dated as of October 1, 1993 between the Authority and Mercantile as Trustee (the "Trust Indenture"), for the purpose of providing funds for the acquisition, construction, installation and equipping of certain facilities of the Company comprising solid waste disposal facilities (the "Project"), pursuant to the provisions of Sections 260.005 to 260.125, inclusive, R.S.Mo. 1986 as amended, and Appendix B(1) thereto.

This Bond is one of a duly authorized issue of Bonds of the Company (herein called the "Bonds"), limited to an aggregate principal amount of $44,000,000, of the series hereinafter specified, all of which were issued to the Authority in satisfaction of payments required to be made by the Company pursuant to the Agreement and are to be assigned by the Authority to the trustee under the Trust Indenture and all issued and to be issued under and equally secured by the Amended Indenture, to which Amended Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the properties mortgaged and pledged, the nature and extent of the security, the rights of the bearers or registered owners of the Bonds and of the Trustee in respect

-14-

thereto, and the terms and conditions upon which the Bonds are, and are to be, secured. To the extent permitted by, and as provided in, the Amended Indenture, modifications or alterations of the Amended Indenture, or of any indenture supplemental thereto, and of the rights and obligations of the Company and of the holders of the Bonds may be made with the consent of the Company by an affirmative vote of not less than 80% in amount of the Bonds entitled to vote then outstanding, at a meeting of Bondholders called and held as provided in the Amended Indenture, and by an affirmative vote of not less than 80% in amount of the Bonds of any series entitled to vote then outstanding and affected by such modification or alteration, in case one or more but less than all of the series of Bonds then outstanding under the Amended Indenture are so affected. The Company has reserved the right to amend the Amended Indenture without any consent or other action by holders of bonds of any series created by the Supplemental Indenture of August 16, 1976, or by any supplemental indenture dated thereafter, including the Supplemental Indenture of October 1, 1993, to provide that the Amended Indenture may be modified or altered with the consent of the holders of not less than 60% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds; and if less than all series of Bonds are affected with the consent also of the holders of not less than 60% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds of each series so affected. Additionally, the Company has reserved the right to amend the Amended Indenture, as supplemented, to authorize amendments thereto by an appropriate written consent of not less than 60% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds outstanding without a meeting of such Bondholders. No such modification or alteration shall be made which will affect the terms of payment of the principal of, or interest on, this Bond, which are unconditional. The Bonds may be issued in series, for various principal sums, may mature at different times, may bear interest at different rates and may otherwise vary as in the Amended Indenture provided. This Bond is one of a series designated as the "First Mortgage Bonds, Environmental Improvement Series 1993" of the Company, issued under and secured by the Amended Indenture and described in the indenture (hereinafter called the "Supplemental Indenture of October 1, 1993") dated October 1, 1993, between the Company and the Trustee, supplemental to the Amended Indenture.

The Bonds are subject to redemption as a whole at any time prior to maturity at the option of the Company, at the principal amount thereof, plus interest accrued to the redemption date, if any of the following events shall have occurred.

(i) unreasonable, or excessive liabilities, including Federal, state or other property or income taxes not imposed on October 1, 1993, are imposed upon the Authority or the Company with respect to the operation of a substantial portion of the Project and the Company determines to discontinue operation of such portion of the Project; or

-15-

(ii) a substantial portion of the Project shall be damaged or destroyed, or use or control thereof shall be taken by the exercise of the power of eminent domain, to such extent that the Company determines that it is not practical or desirable to restore or replace such portion;

any such redemption to be made within 90 days from the time the Company files with the registered owner of the Bonds a certificate evidencing the occurrence of one of the foregoing events and requesting redemption of the Bonds, which certificate and request must be filed, if at all, within 270 days following the occurrence of such event.

The Bonds are subject to redemption at the option of the Company on or after October 1, 2008, in whole at any time or in part on any interest payment date, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued interest, if any, to the redemption date:

           Redemption Date                            Redemption
          (Dates Inclusive)                              Price
          -----------------                           ----------

October 1, 2008 through September 30, 2009...........     102%
October 1, 2009 through September 30, 2010...........     101%
October 1, 2010 and thereafter.......................     100%

The Bonds are also subject to mandatory redemption at any time, as a whole or in part as provided below, on any day within 120 days after the Company receives written notice from a registered owner, beneficial owner, former registered owner or former beneficial owner of a Revenue Bond or Mercantile of a final determination by the Internal Revenue Service or a court of competent jurisdiction that, as a result of a failure by the Company to perform any of its agreements in the Agreement or the inaccuracy of any of its representations in the Agreement or any certificate submitted pursuant to the Trust Indenture, the interest paid or to be paid on any Revenue Bond (except to a "substantial user" of the Project or a "related person" within the meaning of Section 147(a) of the Code) is or was includible in the gross income of the Revenue Bond's owner for federal income tax purposes. No such determination will be considered final unless the registered owner, beneficial owner, former registered owner or former beneficial owner involved in the determination gives the Company, the Trustee and Mercantile prompt written notice of the commencement of the proceedings resulting in the determination and offers the Company, subject to the Company's agreeing to pay all expenses of the proceeding and to indemnify the registered owner, beneficial owner, former registered owner or former beneficial owner against all liabilities that might result from it, the opportunity to control the defense of the proceeding and either the Company does not agree within 30 days to pay the expenses, indemnify the registered owner, beneficial owner, former registered owner or former beneficial owner and control the defense or the Company exhausts or chooses not to exhaust available procedures to contest or obtain review of the result of the proceedings. Fewer than all the Bonds may be

-16-

redeemed if redemption of fewer than all would result in the interest payable on the Bonds remaining outstanding being not includible in the gross income for federal income tax purposes of any owner other than a "substantial user" or "related person". If fewer than all Bonds are redeemed, the Trustee will select the Bonds to be redeemed by lot as provided in the Amended Indenture or by such other method acceptable to the Trustee as may be specified in an Opinion of Tax Counsel. If this redemption occurs in accordance with the terms of the Trust Indenture, such failure by the Company to perform any of its agreements in the Agreement or inaccuracy of any of its representations in the Agreement or any certificate submitted pursuant to the Amended Indenture shall not in and of itself constitute an event or default under the Trust Indenture or the Amended Indenture.

The Bonds are also subject to mandatory redemption at the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption if the Trustee or the Company is notified that an "Event of Default" under the Trust Indenture has occurred and is continuing and Mercantile has declared the principal amount of all Revenue Bonds then outstanding due and payable in accordance with the Trust Indenture.

The Company may, by notice to the Trustee at least 60 days prior to any date on which any principal payment is due on this Bond, elect to receive a credit in respect of such principal payment (a) for any Bonds of 1993 Series then due which have been redeemed prior to such principal payment date or otherwise acquired and delivered to the Trustee for cancellation by said Trustee prior to the giving of such notice, or (b) for any Revenue Bonds which have been purchased, delivered for cancellation or previously redeemed, which in each case have not theretofore been applied as a credit against such principal payment. Each Bond with respect to which the Company elects to receive a credit will be credited by the Trustee at 100% of the principal amount thereof against such principal payment, provided further that in the case of a credit with respect to any Revenue Bonds, the principal amount thereof shall be established by an officers' certificate (as defined in the Amended Indenture) concurred in by the trustee under the Trust Indenture, included with the above-mentioned notice to the Trustee. The principal amount of Bonds to be paid on the due date of such principal payment will be reduced by the amount of any such credit or credits in respect of Bonds previously redeemed or delivered as provided above.

Upon cancellation in full or in part of any of the Revenue Bonds (or provision for payment thereof having been made in accordance with the provisions of the Trust Indenture) and payment of all fees and charges of the trustee thereunder, such trustee shall deliver to the Trustee, for cancellation a corresponding amount of Bonds remaining in its possession.

Such redemption in every case shall be effected upon notice delivered by the Company at least sixty days prior to the date of redemption, to the registered

-17-

owner of the Bonds at its address as the same shall appear on the transfer register of the Company, all subject to the conditions of, and as more fully set forth in, the Amended Indenture and Supplemental Indenture of October 1, 1993.

In case an event of default, as defined in the Amended Indenture, shall occur, the principal of all the bonds at any such time outstanding under the Amended Indenture may be declared or may become due and payable, upon the conditions and in the manner and with the effect provided in the Amended Indenture. The Amended Indenture provides that such declaration may in certain events be waived by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the bonds outstanding.

No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or on the interest on, this Bond, or for any claim based hereon or on the Amended Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, or against any stockholder, director or officer, past, present or future, of the Company, or of any predecessor or successor corporation, either directly or through the Company or any such predecessor or successor corporation, whether for amounts unpaid on stock subscriptions or by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability, whether at common law, in equity, by any constitution, statute or otherwise, of incorporators, stockholders, directors or officers being released by every owner hereof by the acceptance of this Bond and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, and being likewise released by the terms of the Amended Indenture.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Union Electric Company has caused this Bond to be signed in its name by its Chairman of the Board or President or a Vice President by his manual signature or a facsimile thereof, and its corporate seal (or a facsimile thereof) to be hereto affixed and attested by its Secretary or an Assistant Secretary by his manual signature or a facsimile thereof.

ARTICLE VII.

RESERVATIONS BY COMPANY TO
AMEND ORIGINAL INDENTURE.

SECTION 1. The Company reserves the right, subject to appropriate corporate action, but without any consent or other action by holders of Bonds of any series created by the Supplemental Indenture of August 16, 1976, or by any

-24-

supplemental indenture dated thereafter, including this Supplemental Indenture, to make such amendments to the Original Indenture, as supplemented, as shall be necessary in order to amend Article XV thereof so as to substitute "sixty percent. (60%)" for "eighty percent. (80%)" wherever appearing in said Article XV.

SECTION 2. The Company reserves the right, subject to appropriate corporate action, but without any consent or other action by holders of Bonds of any series created by the Supplemental Indenture of August 16, 1976, or by any supplemental indenture dated thereafter, including this Supplemental Indenture, to make such amendments to the Original Indenture, as supplemented, as shall be necessary in order to amend Article XV thereof by adding thereto a Section 9 to read as follows:

"SECTION 9. (A) Anything in this Article XV contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall receive the written consent (in any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by Bondholders or by their attorneys appointed in writing) of the holders of sixty percent. (60%) or more in principal amount of the Bonds outstanding hereunder, and, if the rights of one or more, but less than all, series of Bonds then outstanding are to be affected by action taken pursuant to such consent, then also by consent of the holders of at least sixty per cent. (60%) in principal amount of each series of Bonds so to be affected and outstanding hereunder (at the time the last such needed consent is delivered to the Trustee) in lieu of the holding of a meeting pursuant to this Article XV and in lieu of all action at such a meeting and with the same force and effect as a resolution duly adopted in accordance with the provisions of Section 6 of this Article XV.

(B) Instruments of consent shall be witnessed or in the alternative may (a) have the signature guaranteed by a bank or trust company or a registered dealer in securities, (b) be acknowledged before a Notary Public or other officer authorized to take acknowledgements, or (c) have their genuineness otherwise established to the satisfaction of the Trustee.

The amount of Bonds payable to bearer, and the series and serial numbers thereof, held by a person executing an instrument of consent (or whose attorney has executed an instrument of consent in his behalf), and the date of his holding the same may be proved by exhibiting the Bonds to and obtaining a certificate executed by (i) any bank or trust or insurance company, or (ii) any trustee, secretary, administrator or other proper officer of any pension, welfare, hospitalization or similar fund or funds, or (iii) the United States of America, any Territory thereof, the District of Columbia, any State of the United States or any public instrumentality of the United States, or of any State or of any Territory, or (iv) any other person or corporation satisfactory to the Trustee. A Bondholder in any of the foregoing categories may sign a certificate in his own behalf.

-25-

Each such certificate shall be dated and shall state, in effect, that as of the date thereof, a coupon Bond or Bonds bearing a specified serial number or numbers was deposited with or exhibited to the signer of such certificate. The holding by the person named in any such certificate of any Bond specified therein shall be presumed to continue unless (1) any certificate bearing a later date issued in respect of the same Bond shall be produced, (2) the Bond specified in such certificate (or any Bond or Bonds issued in exchange or substitution for such Bond) shall be produced by another holder, or
(3) the Bond specified in such certificate shall be registered as to principal in the name of another holder or shall have been surrendered in exchange for a fully registered bond registered in the name of another holder. The Trustee may nevertheless, in his discretion, require further proof in cases where it deems further proof desirable. The ownership of registered Bonds shall be proved by the registry books.

(C) Until such time as the Trustee shall receive the written consent of the necessary per cent. in principal amount of the Bonds required by the provisions of subsection (A) above for action contemplated by such consent, any holder of a Bond, the serial number of which is shown by the evidence to be included in the Bonds the holders of which have consented to such action, may, by filing written notice with the Trustee at its principal office and upon proof of holding as provided in subsection (B) above, revoke such consent so far as it concerns such Bond. Except as aforesaid, any such action taken by the holder of any Bond shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all future holders of such Bond (and any Bond issued in lieu thereof or exchanged therefor), irrespective of whether or not any notation of such consent is made upon such Bond, and in any event any action taken by the holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds specified in subsection (A) above in connection with such action shall be conclusively binding upon the Company, the Trustee and the holders of all the Bonds."

ARTICLE VIII.

The New 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 Original Indenture.

The New Bonds shall mature January 15, 2024, and shall bear interest at the rate per annum set forth in the form of the New Bond contained in
Section 3 of this Article I, payable semi-annually on the fifteenth day of January and the fifteenth day of July in each year. The New Bonds shall be payable as to principal, premium, if any, and interest 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, and shall be payable at the office of the Company in the City of St. Louis, Missouri; provided, however, that at the option of the Company, interest on the New Bonds may be paid by checks mailed to the registered holder in whose name such Bonds are registered at the address as it shall appear on the transfer register of the Company.

SECTION 2. The New Bonds shall be registered Bonds without coupons, of the denomination of $1,000 or any integral multiple thereof.

The New Bonds shall be transferable and exchangeable for the New Bonds of other denominations, as in the Original Indenture provided, except that payment of a service charge therefor will not be required by the Company.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6 of Article II of the Original Indenture, the New Bonds shall be dated the date of authentication and shall bear interest from the interest payment date to which interest on the New Bonds has been paid next preceding the date thereof, unless such date is an interest payment date to which interest has been paid, in which case they shall bear interest from the date thereof, or unless the date thereof is prior to July 15, 1994, in which case they shall bear interest from January 15, 1994; provided, however, that, subject to the provisions of this Section with respect to failure by the Company to pay any interest on an interest payment date, the holder of any New Bond dated after a record date (as hereinafter defined) for the payment of interest and prior to the date of payment of such interest shall not be entitled to payment of such interest and shall have no claim against the Company with respect thereto.

-12-

The person in whose name any New Bond is registered at the close of business on any record date with respect to any interest payment date shall be entitled to receive the interest payable on such interest payment date notwithstanding the cancellation of such Bond upon any transfer or exchange thereof subsequent to the record date and prior to such interest payment date, except if and to the extent the Company shall default in the payment of the interest due on such interest payment date, in which case such defaulted interest shall be paid to the person in whose name such Bond is registered on the date of payment of such defaulted interest or on a subsequent record date for such payment if one shall have been established as hereinafter provided. A subsequent record date may be established by the Company by notice mailed to the holders of the New Bonds not less than ten days preceding such record date, which record date shall be not more than thirty days prior to the subsequent interest payment date. The term "record date" as used in this Section with respect to any regular interest payment date shall mean the December 15 or June 15, as the case may be, next preceding such interest payment date, or, if such December 15 or June 15 shall be a legal holiday in the State of New York or in the State of Missouri or a day on which banking institutions in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or the City of St. Louis, Missouri, are authorized by law to close, the next preceding day which shall not be a legal holiday or a day on which such institutions are so authorized to close.

[FORM OF REVERSE OF NEW BOND]

This Bond is one of a duly authorized issue of Bonds of the Company (herein called the "Bonds"), in unlimited aggregate principal amount, of the series hereinafter specified, all issued and to be issued under and equally secured by indenture of mortgage and deed of trust, dated June 15, 1937, executed by the Company to Boatmen's Trust Company, (herein called the "Trustee"), as trustee, as amended by indentures supplemental thereto dated May 1, 1941, April 1, 1971, February 1, 1974, and July 7, 1980, between the Company and the Trustee (said mortgage and deed of trust, as so amended, being herein called the "Amended Indenture"), to which Amended Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the properties mortgaged and pledged, the nature and extent of the security, the rights of the bearers or registered owners of the Bonds and of the Trustee in respect thereto, and the terms and conditions upon which the Bonds are, and are to be, secured. To the extent permitted by, and as provided in, the Amended Indenture, modifications or alterations of the Amended Indenture, or of any indenture supplemental thereto, and of the rights and obligations of the Company and of the holders of the Bonds may be made with the consent of the Company by an affirmative vote of not less than 80% in amount of the Bonds entitled to vote then outstanding, at a meeting of Bondholders called and held as provided in the Amended Indenture, and by an affirmative vote of not less than 80% in amount of the Bonds of any series entitled to vote then outstanding and affected by such modification or alteration, in case one or more but less than all of the series of Bonds then outstanding under the Amended Indenture are so affected. The Company has reserved the right to amend the Amended Indenture without any consent or other action by holders of bonds of any series created by the Supplemental Indenture of August 16, 1976, or by any supplemental indenture dated thereafter, including the Supplemental Indenture of January 1, 1994, to provide that the Amended Indenture may be modified or altered with the consent of the holders of not less than 60% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds; and if less than all series of Bonds are affected with the consent also of the holders of not less than 60% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds of each series so affected. Additionally, the Company has reserved the right to amend the Amended Indenture, as supplemented, to authorize amendments thereto by

No such modification or alteration shall be made which will affect the terms of payment of the principal of, or interest or premium on, this Bond, which are unconditional. The Bonds may be issued in series, for various principal sums, may mature at different times, may bear interest at different rates and may otherwise vary as in the Amended Indenture provided. This Bond is one of a series designated as the "First Mortgage Bonds, 7% Series due 2024" (herein called the "Bonds of this Series") of the Company, issued under and secured by the Amended Indenture and described in the indenture (hereinafter called the "New Supplemental Indenture") dated January 1, 1994, between the Company and the Trustee, supplemental to the Amended Indenture.

in each case, together with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption.

Such redemption in every case shall be effected upon notice sent by the Company to the registered owner hereof, postage prepaid, at least thirty and not more than sixty days prior to the date of redemption, all subject to the conditions of, and as more fully set forth in, the Amended Indenture and the New Supplemental Indenture.

In case an event of default, as defined in the Amended Indenture, shall occur, the principal of all the Bonds at any such time outstanding under the Amended Indenture may be declared or may become due and payable, upon the conditions and in the manner and with the effect provided in the Amended

-16-

Indenture. The Amended Indenture provides that such declaration may in certain events be waived by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Bonds outstanding.

This Bond is transferable by the registered owner hereof, in person or by duly authorized attorney, on the books of the Company to be kept for that purpose at the office of the Company in the City of St. Louis, Missouri, upon surrender and cancellation of this Bond and on presentation of a duly executed written instrument of transfer, and thereupon a new Bond or Bonds of the same series, of the same aggregate principal amount and in authorized denominations will be issued to the transferee or transferees in exchange herefor, without payment of any charge other than stamp taxes and other governmental charges incident thereto; and this Bond with or without others of like series, may in like manner be exchanged for one or more new Bonds of the same series of other authorized denominations but of the same aggregate principal amount; all subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Amended Indenture.

The Bonds of this Series are to be issued initially under a book- entry only system and, except as hereinafter provided, will be registered in the name of The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York ("DTC") or its nominee, which shall be considered to be the holder of all of the Bonds of this Series for all purposes of the Mortgage, including, without limitation, payment by the Company of principal of and interest on such Bonds of this Series and receipt of notices and exercise of rights of holders of such Bonds of this Series. There shall be a single global bond of this series which shall be immobilized in the custody of DTC or its designee with the owners of book-entry interest in Bonds of this Series ("Book-Entry Interests") having no right to receive Bonds of this Series in the form of physical securities or certificates. Ownership of Book-Entry Interests shall be shown by book-entry on the system maintained and operated by DTC, its participants (the "Participants") and certain persons acting through the Participants. Transfers of ownership of Book-Entry Interests are to be made only by DTC and the Participants by that book-entry system, the Company and the Trustee having no responsibility therefor so long as Bonds of this Series are registered in the name of DTC or its nominee. DTC is to maintain records of the positions of Participants in Bonds of this Series, and the Participants and persons acting through Participants are to maintain records of the purchasers and owners of Book-Entry Interests. If DTC or its nominee determines not to continue to act as a depository for the Bonds of this Series in connection with a book-entry only system, another depository, if available, may act instead and the single global bond of this series will be transferred into the name of such other depository or its nominee, in which case the above provisions will continue to apply but to the new depository. If the book-entry only system for Bonds of this Series is discontinued by the Company for any reason, upon surrender and cancellation of the single global bond of this series registered in the name of the then depository or its nominee, new registered Bonds of this Series will be issued in authorized denominations to the holders of Book-Entry Interests in principal amounts

-17-

coinciding with the amounts of such Book-Entry Interests shown on the book-entry system immediately prior to the discontinuance thereof. Neither the Trustee nor the Company shall be responsible for the accuracy of the interests shown on that system.

No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, on or the interest on, this Bond, or for any claim based hereon or on the Amended Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, or against any stockholder, director or officer, past, present or future, of the Company, or of any predecessor or successor corporation, either directly or through the Company or any such predecessor or successor corporation, whether for amounts unpaid on stock subscriptions or by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability, whether at common law, in equity, by any constitution, statute or otherwise, of incorporators, stockholders, directors or officers being released by every owner hereof by the acceptance of this Bond and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, and being likewise released by the terms of the Amended Indenture.

SECTION 2. That, so long as any of the New Bonds are outstanding, whenever any officers' certificate is required to be filed or deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 3(b) of Article III of the Original Indenture upon an application for the authentication of additional Bonds pursuant to Article III of the Original Indenture, such officers' certificate shall include, in addition to the matters required to be stated therein by said Section 3(b), the statement with respect to the net earnings of the Company available for interest after property retirement appropriations required by Section 2 of Article V of the Supplemental Indenture of July 1, 1956.

SECTION 3. That, so long as any of the New Bonds are outstanding, the Company will not apply for the authentication and delivery of additional Bonds pursuant to Section 4 of Article III of the Original Indenture or the withdrawal of cash from the trust estate or the reduction of the amount of cash required to be paid into the trust estate or to satisfy the maintenance and improvement funds under any provision of the Original Indenture or the Supplemental Indentures creating prior series of Bonds, on the basis of the amount of $15,000,000 excluded from net bondable value of property additions not subject to an unfunded prior lien pursuant to Section 3 of Article V of the Supplemental Indenture of October 1, 1945, or on the basis of the amount of $7,500,000 excluded from net bondable value of property additions not subject to an unfunded prior lien pursuant to Section 3 of Article V of the Supplemental Indenture of July 1, 1956.

SECTION 4. That, so long as any of the New Bonds are outstanding, the Company will not issue or permit to be issued any prior lien bonds secured by an unfunded prior lien in addition to the prior lien bonds secured by such unfunded prior lien at the time of first acquisition by the Company of property subject thereto (other than in lieu of lost, stolen or mutilated bonds or on the exchange for bonds already outstanding of an equal principal amount of other bonds of the same issue and the same series, if any, and of the same maturity), except upon compliance with the provisions of Section 16 of Article IV of the Original Indenture, nor unless the net earnings of the Company available for interest after property retirement appropriations (determined as provided in Section 2 of Article V of the Supplemental Indenture of July 1, 1956), for any twelve consecutive calendar months during the period of fifteen calendar months immediately preceding the first day of the month in which the additional prior lien bonds are to be issued, have been, in the aggregate, equal to not less than

-20-

twice the annual interest charges on the indebtedness specified in subparagraphs (i) and (ii) of paragraph (1) of Section 2(a) of said Article V; provided that, if the application for the issue of such additional prior lien bonds is upon the basis of payment at maturity of prior lien bonds theretofore sold or otherwise disposed of or the redemption or purchase thereof after a date two years prior to the date of maturity, the additional requirement imposed by this Section 4 with respect to net earnings of the Company available for interest after property retirement appropriations shall not apply.

Section 2(a) of said Article V.

SECTION 5.

Any officers' certificate with respect to net earnings of such property, required to be filed with the Trustee as a condition precedent to the acquisition of such property, shall include, in addition to the matters otherwise required to be stated therein, the matters required to be stated in an officers' certificate pursuant to Section 2 of said Article V applicable, however, only to the net earnings of such property and to the indebtedness secured by such liens to which such property is subject.

ARTICLE VI.

CONSENTS AND AGREEMENTS OF HOLDERS OF THE NEW BONDS
TO CERTAIN MATTERS

The Company, and the holders of the New Bonds by their acceptance and holding thereof, hereby consent and agree as follows:

(A) When the provisions of this Article VI shall become effective as provided in Subdivision (B) hereof, the provisions of the Original Indenture shall become and shall be deemed to have been, amended, effective on said date, by the Supplemental Indenture dated February 1, 1974, in the following respects:

(1) by inserting the following paragraph after the definition of "Nonbondable property" in Article I of the Original Indenture;

"Nuclear fuel:

The term 'Nuclear fuel' shall mean (a) any fuel element, including nuclear fuel and associated means (and any similar or analogous device or substance), whether or not classified as fuel and whether or not chargeable to operating expenses, comprising or intended to comprise or formerly comprising the core, or other part of a nuclear reactor or any similar or analogous device, (b) any fuel element, including nuclear fuel and associated means (and any similar or analogous device or substance) while in the process of fabrication or preparation and special nuclear or other materials held for use in such fabrication or preparation, (c) any substances or materials formerly comprising such nuclear fuel and associated means (or any similar or analogous device or substance) and which substances or materials are undergoing or have undergone reprocessing and (d) uranium, thorium, plutonium, and any other substance or material from time to time used or selected for use by the Company as fuel material, or as potential fuel material, in a nuclear reactor or any similar or analogous device."

-22-

(2) by deleting the word "and" at the end of subparagraph (e) of the definition of "Permitted liens" in Article I of the Original Indenture, changing the period at the end of subparagraph (f) of such definition to "; and", and adding a new subparagraph (g) reading as follows:

"(g) any controls, liens, restrictions, regulations, easements, exceptions or reservations of any governmental authority applying particularly to 'Nuclear fuel'."

(3) by deleting the word "and" at the end of subparagraph (d) of the third paragraph of the definition of "Property additions" in Article I of the Original Indenture, changing the period at the end of subparagraph (e) to "; and" and adding a new subparagraph (f) reading as follows:

"(f) anything in this Indenture notwithstanding, the term 'Property additions' shall include 'Nuclear fuel'."

(4) by inserting after the words "such property additions" when first used in subdivision (4) of subparagraph (f) of Section 4 of Article III of the Original Indenture the following:

", provided that, in the case of property additions constituting all or part of a facility for the production of electricity by use of a nuclear reactor or any similar or analogous device, or Nuclear fuel materials, assemblies or components for use therein, in respect of which the application is made prior to receipt of necessary authority to operate such facility, such opinion need only state that (i) the Company has necessary authority to own such property additions and (ii) in the case of property additions for which construction authority is necessary, the Company has necessary authority to construct the same."

and

(5) by inserting after the words "any machinery or equipment," in subparagraph (a) of Section 2 of Article VII of the Original Indenture the following:

"or any Nuclear fuel materials, assemblies or components,"

(B) The provisions of this Article VI shall become effective on the earliest date on which either (a) no Bonds of a Series prior to the Bonds of 2004 Series (as described in the Supplemental Indenture dated February 1, 1974) shall be outstanding or (b) the amendment to the Original Indenture provided in Article VII of the Supplemental Indenture dated February 1,

-23-

1974, shall have become effective upon vote of the holders of Bonds as provided in Article XV of the Original Indenture, provided that no vote of the holders of the Bonds of 2004 Series or Bonds of any series created thereafter shall be required for effecting such amendments.

ARTICLE VII.

RESERVATIONS BY COMPANY TO
AMEND ORIGINAL INDENTURE.

SECTION 1. The Company reserves the right, subject to appropriate corporate action, but without any consent or other action by holders of Bonds of any series created by the Supplemental Indenture of August 16, 1976, or by any supplemental indenture dated thereafter, including this Supplemental Indenture, to make such amendments to the Original Indenture, as supplemented, as shall be necessary in order to amend Article XV thereof so as to substitute "sixty percent. (60%)" for "eighty percent. (80%)" wherever appearing in said Article XV.

SECTION 2. The Company reserves the right, subject to appropriate corporate action, but without any consent or other action by holders of Bonds of any series created by the Supplemental Indenture of August 16, 1976, or by any supplemental indenture dated thereafter, including this Supplemental Indenture, to make such amendments to the Original Indenture, as supplemented, as shall be necessary in order to amend Article XV thereof by adding thereto a Section 9 to read as follows:

"SECTION 9. (A) Anything in this Article XV contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall receive the written consent (in any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by Bondholders or by their attorneys appointed in writing) of the holders of sixty percent. (60%) or more in principal amount of the Bonds outstanding hereunder, and, if the rights of one or more, but less than all, series of Bonds then outstanding are to be affected by action taken pursuant to such consent, then also by consent of the holders of at least sixty per cent. (60%) in principal amount of each series of Bonds so to be affected and outstanding hereunder (at the time the last such needed consent is delivered to the Trustee) in lieu of the holding of a meeting pursuant to this Article XV and in lieu of all action at such a meeting and with the same force and effect as a resolution duly adopted in accordance with the provisions of Section 6 of this Article XV.

-24-

(B) Instruments of consent shall be witnessed or in the alternative may (a) have the signature guaranteed by a bank or trust company or a registered dealer in securities, (b) be acknowledged before a Notary Public or other officer authorized to take acknowledgements, or (c) have their genuineness otherwise established to the satisfaction of the Trustee.

The amount of Bonds payable to bearer, and the series and serial numbers thereof, held by a person executing an instrument of consent (or whose attorney has executed an instrument of consent in his behalf), and the date of his holding the same may be proved by exhibiting the Bonds to and obtaining a certificate executed by (i) any bank or trust or insurance company, or (ii) any trustee, secretary, administrator or other proper officer of any pension, welfare, hospitalization or similar fund or funds, or (iii) the United States of America, any Territory thereof, the District of Columbia, any State of the United States or any public instrumentality of the United States, or of any State or of any Territory, or (iv) any other person or corporation satisfactory to the Trustee. A Bondholder in any of the foregoing categories may sign a certificate in his own behalf.

Each such certificate shall be dated and shall state, in effect, that as of the date thereof, a coupon Bond or Bonds bearing a specified serial number or numbers was deposited with or exhibited to the signer of such certificate. The holding by the person named in any such certificate of any Bond specified therein shall be presumed to continue unless (1) any certificate bearing a later date issued in respect of the same Bond shall be produced, (2) the Bond specified in such certificate (or any Bond or Bonds issued in exchange or substitution for such Bond) shall be produced by another holder, or
(3) the Bond specified in such certificate shall be registered as to principal in the name of another holder or shall have been surrendered in exchange for a fully registered bond registered in the name of another holder. The Trustee may nevertheless, in his discretion, require further proof in cases where it deems further proof desirable. The ownership of registered Bonds shall be proved by the registry books.

(C) Until such time as the Trustee shall receive the written consent of the necessary per cent. in principal amount of the Bonds required by the provisions of subsection (A) above for action contemplated by such consent, any holder of a Bond, the serial number of which is shown by the evidence to be included in the Bonds the holders of which have consented to such action, may, by filing written notice with the Trustee at its principal office and upon proof of holding as provided in subsection (B) above, revoke such consent so far as it concerns such Bond. Except as aforesaid, any such action taken by the holder of any Bond shall be conclusive and binding upon

-25-

such holder and upon all future holders of such Bond (and any Bond issued in lieu thereof or exchanged therefor), irrespective of whether or not any notation of such consent is made upon such Bond, and in any event any action taken by the holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds specified in subsection (A) above in connection with such action shall be conclusively binding upon the Company, the Trustee and the holders of all the Bonds."

ARTICLE VIII.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

SECTION 1. Except as otherwise defined herein, all terms contained in this Supplemental Indenture shall, for all purposes thereof, have the meanings given to such terms in Article I of the Original Indenture.

SECTION 2. 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.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, said Union Electric Company has caused this Supplemental Indenture to be executed on its behalf by its Chairman of the Board or President or one of its Vice Presidents and its corporate seal to be hereto affixed and said seal and this Supplemental Indenture to be attested by its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries; and said Boatmen's Trust Company, in evidence of its acceptance of the trust hereby created, has caused this Supplemental Indenture to be executed on its behalf by its President or one of its Vice Presidents, and its corporate seal to be hereto affixed and said seal and

EXHIBIT 13

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Earnings and earnings per share fluctuated due to many conditions, the primary ones being: weather variations, electric rate reductions, sales growth, fluctuating operating costs, the purchase and sales of utility properties, new accounting requirements, lower interest expense, and changes in income and property taxes.

The impacts of the more significant items affecting revenues, costs, and earnings during the past several years are analyzed and discussed below.

                                ======   =======   ======

The increase in 1993 electric revenues primarily reflects the increase in electricity sales from colder, more normal winter weather in the first quarter 1993 followed by warmer spring and summer weather when compared to 1992. The lower 1993 electric revenues due to rates reflect the November 1992 Missouri rate settlement effective January 1, 1993, which decreased rates for all Missouri electric customers and reduced annual revenues by approximately $42 million. The sale of the Company's Iowa and northern Illinois retail properties in December 1992 reduced 1993 electric revenues $52 million which was offset by growth in other service areas, including the territory purchased from Arkansas Power & Light Company in March 1992.

The decline in 1992 electric revenues was primarily due to unusually mild summer weather which reduced air conditioning use as compared to 1991. The unusually warm spring and summer weather in 1991 resulted in significantly increased electric revenues when compared to the weather experienced in 1990. The lower 1991 electric revenues attributable to rate variations reflect lower rates resulting from the Missouri rate design settlement, effective November 26, 1990. Under the terms of this settlement, rate decreases for commercial and industrial customers reduced revenues by approximately $30 million annually.

The variation in electric revenues attributable to growth and other factors in 1991, 1992, and 1993 primarily reflects differences in economic growth in the Company's service territory for these periods. In 1991, the Company's service area experienced the general reduction in economic growth that occurred nationally and was reflected in lower sales to industrial customers. In 1991, normalized kilowatthour sales decreased 0.4% compared to 1990. In 1992, normalized kilowatthour sales increased 3.2% compared to 1991, which reflects both an improving local economy and the addition of new customers as a result of the purchase of the Missouri distribution properties of Arkansas Power & Light Company in March 1992. In 1993, normalized kilowatthour sales decreased 0.8% reflecting the loss of sales from the sale of the Company's Iowa and northern Illinois service territory partially offset by an improved local economy. Other less significant factors contributing to variations in electric sales are conservation, installation of energy efficient appliances, and changes to and from alternative fuels.

The increased 1993 Fuel and Purchased Power costs reflect increased purchased power and lower generating efficiencies offset in part by greater hydro generation and reduced steam generation. Increased power purchases from other utilities were required in 1993 when flooding interrupted coal deliveries to several of the Company's fossil fueled power plants. The decreased 1992 Fuel and Purchased Power costs reflect reduced generation associated with lower electric sales and a Callaway refueling outage in 1992, greater hydro generation and lower fuel prices, offset in part by greater net purchased power costs. The increased 1991 Fuel and Purchased Power costs reflect increased steam plant generation partly due to less hydro generation, reduced generating efficiencies, and increased net purchased power costs, offset in part by decreased fuel prices.

Other variations in 1991 through 1993 operating expenses reflect recurring conditions such as growth, inflation, and wage increases. In 1993, operations expenses, other than fuel and purchased power costs, increased $64 million, primarily due to a $32 million increase in employee postretirement benefits expense pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits other than Pensions", a $14 million increase in natural gas purchased for resale, a $5 million increase in labor costs, and higher pensions, professional and computer services, regulatory fees, and provision for injuries and damages. In

16 UNION ELECTRIC 1993


1992, operations expenses, other than fuel and purchased power costs, increased $7 million, primarily reflecting a $5 million increase in labor costs, a $4 million increase in employee benefit expenses, a $2 million increase in natural gas purchased for resale, and a $1 million increase in tree trimming expense, offset in part by a $5 million decrease in nuclear spent fuel disposal cost, primarily due to the refueling outage at Callaway plant and a refund of overcharges from the Department of Energy. In 1991, operations expenses, other than fuel and purchased power costs, increased $8 million, due primarily to a $2 million increase in employee benefit expenses, a $3 million increase in regulatory expenses, and a $2 million increase in natural gas purchased for resale.

In 1993, maintenance expenses increased $3 million primarily due to flood- related labor expenses. In 1992, maintenance expenses increased $17 million, due to a $20 million increase in Callaway plant maintenance expenses primarily associated with Callaway's fifth refueling in early 1992, partially offset by reduced maintenance at fossil-fueled generating plants. In 1991, maintenance expenses decreased $6 million, primarily due to a $14 million decrease in Callaway plant maintenance expenses, reflecting the plant's fourth refueling in late 1990, partially offset by higher tree trimming and storm-related distribution expenses, and increased maintenance at most generating plants other than Callaway.

Depreciation expense increased $6 million in 1993, due to increased depreciable property. Depreciation expense increased $10 million in 1992, primarily due to the purchase of the Missouri distribution properties of Arkansas Power & Light Company in early 1992, a $3 million increase in nuclear plant decommissioning expense and increased other depreciable property. Depreciation expense increased $4 million in 1991 primarily due to increased depreciable property.

Income taxes from operations in 1993 reflect a higher federal income tax rate offset by lower pre-tax income. Income taxes from operations decreased $43 million in 1992 due principally to lower pre-tax income. In 1991, income taxes from operations increased $30 million due principally to higher pre-tax income.

In 1993, other taxes charged to operating expenses increased $6 million, primarily due to higher gross receipts and real estate taxes. In 1992, other taxes charged to operating expenses increased $3 million due to a $7 million increase in real estate taxes, partially offset by a $4 million reduction in gross receipts taxes associated with lower revenues. In 1991, other taxes charged to operating expenses increased $3 million, due to a $2 million increase in license and franchise taxes and a $1 million increase in payroll taxes.

INTEREST

In 1993, 1992 and 1991, interest expense decreased $6 million, $32 million and $20 million, respectively, primarily due to the refinancing of high-cost debt with lower cost issues, lower interest rates on variable rate debt and a reduction in total debt outstanding.

CALLAWAY RATE PHASE-IN PLANS
See Note 1 under Notes to Financial Statements for information relative to Callaway rate phase-in plans.
OTHER INCOME AND DEDUCTIONS

The 1993 increase in Miscellaneous of $4 million primarily reflects lower miscellaneous income deductions. The 1992 reduction in Miscellaneous of $3 million primarily reflects reduced charitable contributions and lower miscellaneous income deductions. The 1991 reduction in Miscellaneous of $13 million primarily reflects a reduction in interest income, greater charitable contributions, the expense related to obtaining long-term power supply contracts with certain wholesale customers, and other miscellaneous income deductions. The December 1992 gain of $18 million, net of tax, from sales of electric property, is discussed under Liquidity and Capital Resources.

CLEAN AIR ACT AMENDMENTS

Under the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, the Company is required to reduce total annual emissions of sulfur dioxide by approximately two-thirds by the year 2000. Significant reductions in nitrogen oxide will also be required. With switching to low-sulfur coal and early banking of emission credits, the Company anticipates that it can comply with the requirements of the law with no significant increase in revenue needs because the related capital costs, estimated at about $300 million, will be largely offset by lower fuel costs.

CONTINGENCIES
See Note 10 under Notes to Financial Statements for issues existing at December 31, 1993 that could affect the Company.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Construction expenditures averaging approximately $310 million are anticipated during each of the years 1994 through 1998. The Company completed the construction of its Callaway plant in late 1984. Additional electric generation capacity is not anticipated before the year 2000. For funds required in addition to construction expenditures, see Notes 2, 5, and 6 under Notes to Financial Statements.

On March 12, 1992, the Company purchased the Missouri retail electric distribution properties of Arkansas Power & Light Company (a subsidiary of Entergy Corporation) for $63 million. This acquisition increased the Company's customers by 26,000 in 10 counties in southeastern

UNION ELECTRIC 1993 17


MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
(continued)

Missouri adjacent to the Company's existing service territory. In connection with the transaction, the Company entered into a long-term power purchase agreement with AP&L which allows the Company to serve the new customers cost- effectively and without building additional generating capacity.

In December 1992, the Company sold its Iowa retail and wholesale electric distribution properties to Iowa Electric Light & Power (a subsidiary of IES Industries, Inc.) and its northern Illinois electric distribution properties to Central Illinois Public Service Company. The Company served approximately 21,000 customers in the areas sold. The net book value of the properties sold was $34 million. Sales proceeds totaled $68 million. As a result of these sales, the Company realized a gain in 1992 of $18 million, net of tax. The Company's hydroelectric generating station near Keokuk, Iowa and related transmission facilities were not included in the sales.

On January 24, 1994, the Company sold $100 million of first mortgage bonds, 7% Series due 2024. The Company used the proceeds to repay outstanding commercial paper.

A nuclear fuel lease agreement provides financing for the Company's nuclear fuel requirements. Effective February 1, 1994, the maximum which can be financed under the agreement was increased from $100 million to $120 million. At December 31, 1993, $99 million of nuclear fuel was financed under the lease.

The Company plans to continue utilizing short-term debt as support for normal operations and other temporary requirements (see Note 3 under Notes to Financial Statements). The Company is authorized by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to have outstanding at any one time up to $600 million of short-term unsecured debt instruments.

TAX MATTERS

See Income Taxes in Note 7 under Notes to Financial Statement regarding SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes."

EFFECTS OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES

The Company's financial statements reflect the historical cost of events and transactions occurring at times when the purchasing power of the dollar was different. The effects of inflation and changing prices on the Company's financial statements are most significant in the areas of depreciation and property, plant, and equipment.

The current replacement cost of the Company's utility plant substantially exceeds its recorded historical cost. However, the regulatory process limits the Company to the recovery of the historical cost of utility plant through depreciation. While the regulatory process does not reflect the current cost of replacing utility plant, past practice indicates the Company will be allowed to earn on and to recover the increased cost of its net investment after facilities are replaced.

The Company, by having assets such as receivables, fuel and materials inventory, and deferred charges, incurs a loss of purchasing power during periods of inflation because, after conversion, the cash received for these items will purchase less. More than offsetting such assets, however, are significant amounts of long-term debt, deferred income taxes, and current liabilities which will be paid with dollars of reduced purchasing power.

Net Income and Earnings on Common Stock for the fourth quarter of 1992 reflect a gain of $18 million ($.18 per share) from the sale of the Company's Iowa and northern Illinois retail distribution properties. The Callaway plant was refueled in the fourth quarter of 1993 and the second quarter of 1992, the effect of which decreased earnings on common stock by about $21 million ($.20 per share) in each of these quarters. The cost of flooding in the Company's service territory in 1993 reduced earnings on common stock by $10 million ($.10 per share), primarily in the third quarter.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS UNION ELECTRIC COMPANY

NOTE 1 -- SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company is regulated by the Missouri Public Service Commission, Illinois Commerce Commission, and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. The accounting policies of the Company are in accordance with the rate-making practices of the regulatory authorities having jurisdiction and, as such, conform to generally accepted accounting principles as applied to regulated public utilities. Following is a description of the Company's significant accounting policies:

PROPERTY AND PLANT

The cost of additions to and betterments of units of property and plant is capitalized. Cost includes labor, material, applicable taxes, and overheads, plus an allowance for funds used during construction. Maintenance expenditures and the renewal of items not considered units of property are charged to income as incurred. When units of depreciable property are retired, the original cost and removal cost, less salvage, are charged to accumulated depreciation.

DEPRECIATION

Depreciation is provided over the estimated lives of the various classes of depreciable property by applying composite rates on a straight-line basis. The provision for depreciation in 1993, 1992, and 1991 was approximately 3% of the average depreciable cost.

NUCLEAR FUEL

The cost of nuclear fuel is amortized to fuel expense on a unit-of-production basis. Spent fuel disposal cost is charged to expense based on kilowatthours sold.

INCOME TAXES

Effective January 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". Under SFAS No. 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the tax consequences of transactions that have been treated differently for financial reporting and tax return purposes, measured using statutory tax rates.

Investment tax credits utilized in prior years were deferred and are being amortized over the useful lives of the properties to which they relate.

ALLOWANCE FOR FUNDS USED DURING CONSTRUCTION

Allowance for funds used during construction (AFC) is a utility industry accounting practice whereby the cost of borrowed funds and the cost of equity funds (preferred and common stockholders' equity) applicable to the Company's construction program are capitalized as a cost of construction. This accounting practice offsets the effect on earnings of the cost of financing current construction, and treats such financing costs in the same manner as construction charges for labor and materials.

Under accepted rate-making practice, cash recovery of AFC, as well as other construction costs, occurs when completed projects are placed in service and reflected in customer rates.

AFC rates are established by the Company consistent with the methodology prescribed by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Average annual AFC rates were 7.8% in 1993, 6.2% in 1992, and 7.1% in 1991.

CALLAWAY RATE PHASE-IN PLANS

The Callaway rate phase-in plans effective in 1985 as a result of regulatory commission orders provided for the partial deferral of a cash recovery of costs related to the Callaway plant during the early years of the plans with recovery of such deferrals in the later years of the plans.

A 1987 order of the Missouri Public Service Commission provided that $159 million of deferred costs at December 31, 1987, applicable to Missouri be recovered in rates over the five years 1988 through 1992.

UNBILLED REVENUE

The Company accrues on its books estimated, but unbilled, revenue and also a liability for the related taxes.

NOTE 2 -- DEBT RETIREMENT PROVISIONS

During the five years from December 31, 1993, the amounts of debt maturities totaling $174 million are: $31 million in 1994; $38 million in 1995; $60 million in 1996; and $45 million in 1997. Amounts for years subsequent to 1994 do not include nuclear fuel lease payments since the amounts of such payments are not currently determinable.

Debt retirement provisions contained in some mortgage bond indentures of the Company require, subject to certain alternatives, the redemption annually of 1% of the principal amount (as defined) of each series of bonds. In substantially all instances, as permitted by the indentures, the Company has been pledging property additions in lieu of such redemptions.

NOTE 3 -- SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS
Short-term borrowings of the Company consist of bank loans (maturities generally on an overnight basis) and commercial paper (maturities generally within 10-45 days). Information relative to short-term borrowings is as follows:

                                          (In thousands except rates)

                                           1993       1992       1991

DURING THE YEAR                          $101,500   $261,000   $173,000

AVERAGE DAILY SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS
OUTSTANDING DURING THE YEAR --
  Aggregate amount                       $ 42,376   $100,996   $101,181
  Weighted composite interest rate            3.2%       3.8%       6.2%

The above weighted composite interest rates were calculated by dividing the applicable interest expense for the year by the average daily short-term borrowings shown above.

At December 31, 1993, the Company had committed bank lines of credit aggregating $187 million ($162 million of which were unused at such date) which make available interim financing at various rates of interest based on LIBOR, the bank certificate of deposit rate, or other options, and in support of which the Company has agreements with its lending banks to pay annual fees up to 0.125%. These lines of credit are renewable annually at various dates throughout the year.

NOTE 4 -- NUCLEAR FUEL LEASE
The Company has a lease agreement which provides for the financing of nuclear fuel. Effective February 1, 1994, the maximum amount which may be financed under the agreement was increased from $100 million to $120 million. Pursuant to the terms of the lease, the Company has assigned to the lessor certain contracts for purchase of nuclear fuel. The lessor obtains, through the issuance of commercial paper or from direct loans under a committed revolving credit agreement from commercial banks, the necessary funds to purchase the fuel and make interest payments when due.

The Company is obligated to reimburse the lessor for all expenditures for nuclear fuel, interest, and related costs. Obligations under this lease become due as the nuclear fuel is consumed at the Company's Callaway nuclear plant. The Company reimbursed the lessor $55.0 million during 1993, $54.3 million during 1992, and $68.0 million during 1991.

The Company has capitalized the cost, including certain interest costs, of the leased nuclear fuel and has recorded

the related lease obligation. During the years 1993, 1992, and 1991, the total interest charges under the lease were $3.1 million, $4.4 million, and $8.5 million (based on average interest rates of 3.6%, 4.3%, and 6.7%, respectively) of which $1.4 million, $1.3 million, and $1.4 million, respectively, were capitalized.

NOTE 5 -- PREFERRED STOCK
During the three years ended December 31, 1993, preferred stock, without par value, was issued or redeemed as follows: issued 1,657,500 shares, $1.735 Series and 330,000 shares, $7.64 Series in 1993; redeemed 350,000 shares, $8.00 Series and 425,000 shares, $8.00 Series of 1971 in 1993, and redeemed 2,200 shares, $7.44 Series in 1991.

NOTE 7 -- INCOME TAXES

Total income tax expense for 1993 resulted in an effective tax rate of 38% on earnings before income taxes (39% in 1992 and 41% in 1991). The principal reasons such rates differ from the statutory Federal rate are as follows:

Effective January 1993, the Company adopted SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Prior to 1993, in accordance with accepted ratemaking practice, deferred income taxes were not provided for certain temporary differences flowed through to customers and the equity component of Allowance for Funds Used During Construction. SFAS No. 109 requires recognition of the income tax effect of such temporary differences. Accordingly, a Regulatory Asset, representing the probable recovery from customers of future income taxes which is expected to occur when the temporary differences reverse, has been recorded along with a corresponding deferred tax liability. Also, a Regulatory Liability recognizing the lower expected revenue resulting from reduced income taxes associated with amortizing accumulated deferred investment tax credits, has been recorded. The deferred tax asset corresponding to this Regulatory Liability has been combined with the deferred tax liabilities.

SFAS No. 109 requires that deferred tax liabilities be adjusted for enacted changes in tax laws or rates. Accordingly, the Company reduced its deferred tax liabilities for amounts previously recorded in excess of the current statutory rate. Recognizing that regulators will probably reduce future revenues for these excess tax deferrals, the reduction in the deferred tax liability was credited to the Regulatory Liability.

Adopting SFAS No. 109 increased both assets and liabilities at December 31, 1993 by approximately $762 million, but did not affect the Company's 1993 earnings on common stock.

Under SFAS No. 109, temporary differences gave rise to deferred tax assets of $40 million and deferred tax liabilities of $1.43 billion at December 31, 1993. These are sum-marized as follows (in millions):

NOTE 8 -- RETIREMENT BENEFITS
The Company has non-contributory, defined-benefit retirement plans covering substantially all of its employees. Benefits are based on the employees' years of service and compensation. The Company's funding policy is to contribute annually at least the minimum amount required by government funding standards, but not more than can be deducted for Federal income taxes. Plan assets consist principally of common stocks and fixed income securities.
Pension costs for the years 1993, 1992, and 1991, were $27 million, $25 million, and $24 million, respectively, of which approximately 18% in 1993 and 1992, and 17% in 1991 were charged to construction accounts.

The rate of increase in future compensation was 4.25% in 1993, and 6% in 1992 and 1991. The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets was 8.5%.

In addition to providing pension benefits, the Company provides certain health care and life insurance benefits for retired employees. Substantially all of the Company's employees may become eligible for those benefits if they reach retirement age while working for the Company. Prior to 1993, the costs of retiree health care and life insurance benefits were recognized on the basis of claims paid. For 1993, 1992, and 1991, the actual claims paid were $14.6 million, $13.5 million, and $11 million, respectively.

Effective January 1993, the Company adopted SFAS No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits other than Pensions," which requires accrual of expected postretirement benefit costs during employees' years of service. The present value of the Company's accumulated postretirement benefit obligation is estimated to be $325 million and the 1993 net periodic postretirement benefit costs were $53 million, of which approximately 18% was charged to construction accounts. The Company's transition obligation is being amortized over 20 years.

The plans' status at December 31, 1993 follows (in millions):

Assumptions for the obligation and expense measurements are
as follows:

DISCOUNT RATE AT MEASUREMENT DATE                                  7.25%
MEDICAL COST TREND RATE - INITIAL                                 11.25%
                        - ULTIMATE                                 5.25%
ULTIMATE MEDICAL COST TREND RATE EXPECTED IN YEAR                  2000

A one percent increase in the medical cost trend rate is estimated to increase the net periodic cost and the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation by approximately $4 million and $28 million, respectively.

In January 1993, the Emerging Issues Task Force of the Financial Accounting Standards Board established the criteria permitting regulated enterprises to record a regulatory asset offsetting the liability recorded pursuant to SFAS
106. The prescribed criteria preclude the Company from recording a regulatory asset. As a result, adopting SFAS 106 reduced the Company's 1993 earnings on common stock by $20 million or 20 cents per share.

NOTE 9 -- CONSTRUCTION COMMITMENTS
The Company is engaged in a construction program under which expenditures averaging approximately $310 million are anticipated during each of the next five years.

NOTE 10 -- CONTINGENCIES
The Company's insurance coverage for its Callaway plant is as follows:

Property insurance coverage of $500 million provided by American Nuclear Insurers (ANI) and Mutual Atomic Energy Liability Underwriters (MAELU).

Excess property insurance of $850 million, including $100 million of coverage for premature decom-missioning costs, provided by ANI/MAELU and Nuclear Electric Insurance Limited (NEIL), a mutual insurer established by the utility industry.

Excess property insurance of $1.15 billion pro-vided by NEIL. Under this policy, the Company could be subject to a maximum retrospective premium assessment of $11.6 million in any one policy year. The policy also provides up to an additional $250 million of coverage for premature decommissioning costs in excess of funds previously collected for decommissioning. Such coverage is limited to a premature decom-missioning which results from a major accident.

The NRC requires property insurance proceeds to be first dedicated to reactor stabilization and decontamination, which may significantly reduce the proceeds available for property repair and replacement.

A Master Worker Policy issued by ANI/MAELU with an aggregate limit of $400 million for the nuclear industry as a whole to cover claims of workers as a result of initial radiation exposure after December 31, 1987. Under this policy, the Company could be subject to a maximum retrospective premium assessment of $3.1 million.

Accidental outage replacement power cost insurance provided by NEIL. Thereunder, the Company is insured for up to $3.1 million per week for the first year, commencing 21 weeks after initiation of the outage and up to $2.1 million per week for the second and third year. Under this policy, the Company could be subject to a maximum annual retrospective premium assessment of $3.3 million in any one policy year.

The Atomic Energy Act, as revised August 1988 by the Price-Anderson amendments, covers liability to third parties for a nuclear incident and, at December 31, 1993, limited such liability to approximately $9.4 billion for each nuclear incident. Coverage of the first $200 million of liability is provided by ANI/MAELU. The balance is provided by utility industry retrospective assessments. The Company's maximum potential assessment under this plan would be $75.5 million per incident payable in annual installments of not more than $10 million. Additionally, if the sum of all public liability claims and legal costs arising from a nuclear incident exceeds the amount of primary and excess coverage in force, the Company can be assessed an additional $3.8 million. As required by the Price-Anderson Act, the assessment is subject to an inflationary adjustment.

To the extent that any losses arising from a nuclear incident at Callaway plant exceed the limits of, or are not subject to, insurance, or to the extent such insurance becomes unavailable in the future, the Company may retain the risk of loss as a self-insurer. Although the Company has no reason to anticipate a serious nuclear incident at Callaway plant, if such an incident did occur, it could have a material but presently undeterminable adverse effect on the Company's financial position.

Under the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, the Company is required to reduce total annual emissions of sulfur dioxide by approximately two-thirds by the year 2000. Significant reductions in nitrogen oxide will also be required. With switching to low-sulfur coal and early banking of emission credits, the Company anticipates that it can comply with the requirements of the law with no significant increase in revenue needs because the related capital costs, estimated at about $300 million, will be largely offset by lower fuel costs.

As of December 31, 1993, the Company was designated a potentially responsible party (PRP) by federal and state environmental protection agencies for five hazardous waste sites. Other hazardous waste sites have been identified for which the Company may be responsible but has not been designated a PRP. The Company is continuing to evaluate the remediation costs that will be required for all of these sites. However, such costs are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position.

The Company is involved in legal and administrative proceedings before various courts and agencies with

respect to matters arising in the ordinary course of business, some of which involve substantial amounts. Management is of the opinion that the final disposition of these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position.

In November 1992, the Missouri Public Service Commission (MoPSC) approved a settlement among various parties involving the Company's Missouri electric rates. Under the terms of the settlement, rate decreases for all classes of Missouri electric customers reduced 1993 annual revenues by approximately $42 million. The settlement also provides that no party shall file for a general increase or decrease in the Company's Missouri electric rates prior to September 1, 1994, except that the Company may request an increase if certain adverse events occur.

See Management's Discussion and Analysis - Liquidity and Capital Resources for information regarding the Company's acquisition and sales of electric properties.

NOTE 11 -- CALLAWAY NUCLEAR PLANT
Under the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is responsible for the permanent storage and disposal of spent nuclear fuel. DOE currently charges one mill per kilowatthour sold for future disposal of spent fuel. Electric rates charged to customers provide for recovery of such costs. DOE is not expected to have its permanent storage facility for spent fuel available until at least 2010. The Company has sufficient storage capacity at the Callaway plant site until 2005 and has viable storage alternatives under consideration that would provide additional storage facilities. Each alternative will likely require Nuclear Regulatory Commission approval and may require other regulatory approvals. The delayed availability of DOE's disposal facility is not expected to adversely affect the continued operation of the Callaway plant.

In 1993, the Company recorded a $23 million liability and a corresponding asset for a special DOE assessment on all utilities owning nuclear plants. The assessment is for the future decontamination, decommissioning and reclamation of DOE uranium enrichment facilities. It will be paid and charged to expense over 15 years beginning in 1993.

Callaway plant decommissioning costs are estimated to be $372 million in current year dollars. Annual decom-missioning costs are charged to depreciation expense over Callaway's service life and amounted to $6.7 million in 1993. Electric rates charged to customers provide for recovery of decommissioning costs over the life of the plant, based on an assumed 40-year life, ending upon expiration of the plant's operating license in 2024. Every three years, the MoPSC requires the Company to file updated cost studies for decommissioning Callaway. Electric rates may be adjusted at such times to reflect changes in cost estimates. Amounts collected from customers are deposited in a trust fund established to provide for decommissioning costs. Fund earnings, net of expenses, appear on the balance sheet as increases in the nuclear decommissioning trust fund and in the Accumulated Provision for Nuclear Decommissioning. The Callaway site is assumed to be decommissioned using the DECON (immediate dismantlement) alternative.
