WHEREAS, for such purposes, the Company desires to create a new series of Bonds to be issued under the Indenture to be known as Mortgage Bonds, 2006 Credit Agreement Series (the “2006 Credit Agreement Series Bonds”); and

 

WHEREAS, the 2006 Credit Agreement Series Bonds shall be issued to the Agent as evidence of and security for the Company Obligations under the Credit Agreement; and

 

WHEREAS, the Company, in the exercise of the powers and authority conferred upon and reserved to it under the provisions of the Indenture, and pursuant to appropriate resolutions of the Board of Directors, has duly resolved and determined to make, execute and deliver to the Trustee this Supplemental Indenture in the form hereof for the purposes herein provided; and

 

WHEREAS, all conditions and requirements necessary to make this Supplemental Indenture a valid, binding and legal instrument have been done, performed and fulfilled and the execution and delivery hereof have been in all respects duly authorized;

 

THAT Illinois Power Company, in consideration of the purchase and ownership from time to time of the Bonds and the service by the Trustee, and its successors, under the Indenture and of One Dollar to it duly paid by the Trustee at or before the ensealing and delivery of these presents, the receipt whereof is hereby acknowledged, hereby covenants and agrees to and with the Trustee and its successors in the trust under the Indenture, for the benefit of those who shall hold the Bonds as follows:

 

ARTICLE I  

 

 

SECTION 1.  The Company hereby creates a new series of Bonds to be known as “2006 Credit Agreement Series Bonds.” The 2006 Credit Agreement Series Bonds shall be executed, authenticated and delivered in accordance with the provisions of, and shall in all respects be subject to, all of the terms, conditions and covenants of the Indenture, as supplemented and modified. The 2006 Credit Agreement Series Bonds shall be issued only to and in the name of the Agent under the Credit Agreement to evidence and secure any and all Company Obligations under the Credit Agreement.

 

The 2006 Credit Agreement Series Bonds shall be dated as of the Interest Payment Date (as defined below) thereof to which interest was paid next preceding the date of issue, unless (a) issued on an Interest Payment Date thereof to which interest was paid, in which event it shall be dated as of such issue date, or (b) issued prior to the occurrence of the first Interest Payment Date thereof to which interest was paid, in which event it shall be dated the date of original issuance.

 

The 2006 Credit Agreement Series Bonds shall be issued in the aggregate principal amount of $150,000,000 and shall mature on the Maturity Date (having at any time the meaning such term has at such time under the Credit Agreement) applicable to the Company.

 

The 2006 Credit Agreement Series Bonds shall bear interest from their date as set forth in the form thereof hereinafter recited. Interest on the 2006 Credit Agreement Series Bonds shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date (defined below), commencing on the first Interest Payment Date next succeeding the date of the 2006 Credit Agreement Series Bonds. Payment of principal on the 2006 Credit Agreement Series Bonds shall be due on the Maturity Date. If the Maturity Date falls on a day which is not a Business Day, as defined below, principal and any interest and/or fees payable by the Company with respect to the Maturity Date will be paid on the next succeeding Business Day.

 

Both the principal of and the interest on the 2006 Credit Agreement Series Bonds shall be payable at the times and in the manner set forth in the form of bond set out herein and in immediately available funds at the office or agency of the Trustee, in any coin or currency of the United States of America which at the time of payment is legal tender for public and private debts.

 

The obligation of the Company to make payments with respect to principal under the Credit Agreement shall not give rise to an obligation to pay principal of the 2006 Credit Agreement Series Bonds except on the Maturity Date of the Company or upon redemption as provided in this Supplemental Indenture. If at any time any permanent reduction of the Borrower Sublimit (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of the Company or the Borrower Credit Exposure (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of the Company shall result in the principal of the 2006 Credit Agreement Series Bonds being greater than the greater of the Borrower Sublimit and the Borrower Credit Exposure, a payment obligation with respect to the principal of the 2006 Credit Agreement Series Bonds in the amount of such excess shall be deemed discharged upon

 

 

the effectiveness of such permanent reduction. No payment of principal under the Credit Agreement shall reduce the principal amount of the 2006 Credit Agreement Series Bonds to an amount less than the greater of the Borrower Sublimit and the Borrower Credit Exposure.

 

The obligation of the Company to make payments with respect to the interest on the 2006 Credit Agreement Series Bonds shall be fully or partially, as the case may be, satisfied and discharged to the extent that, at the time that any such payment shall be due, the then due interest and/or fees of the Company under the Credit Agreement shall have been fully or partially paid. Satisfaction of any obligation to the extent that payment is made with respect to the interest and/or fees of the Company under the Credit Agreement means that if any payment is made on the interest and/or fees of the Company under the Credit Agreement, a corresponding payment obligation with respect to the interest on the 2006 Credit Agreement Series Bonds shall be deemed discharged in the same amount as such payment made on the interest and/or fees of the Company under the Credit Agreement.

 

The Trustee may at any time and all times conclusively assume that the obligation of the Company to make payments with respect to the principal of and interest on the 2006 Credit Agreement Series Bonds, so far as such payments at the time have become due, has been fully satisfied and discharged pursuant to the foregoing paragraphs unless and until the Trustee shall have received a written notice from the Agent stating (i) that timely payment of principal of or interest on the 2006 Credit Agreement Series Bonds has not been made, (ii) that the Company is in arrears as to the payments required to be made by it to the Agent in connection with the Company Obligations pursuant to the Credit Agreement, and (iii) the amount of the arrearage.

 

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

 

The 2006 Credit Agreement Series Bonds shall not be assignable or transferable except to a successor Agent appointed in accordance with the Credit Agreement. The 2006 Credit Agreement Series Bonds are exchangeable by the Registered Owner thereof, in person or by attorney duly authorized, at the principal office or place of business of the Trustee under the Indenture, upon the surrender and cancellation of said bonds and the payment of any stamp tax or other governmental charge, and upon any such exchange a new registered bond or bonds without coupons, of the same series and maturity and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued in exchange theretofore; provided, that the Company shall not be required to exchange any 2006 Credit Agreement Series Bonds for a period of ten (10) days next preceding an Interest Payment Date with respect to such bonds.

 

As provided in Section 8.4 of the Credit Agreement, the Agent shall surrender the 2006 Credit Agreement Series Bonds to the Trustee for cancellation when each of the Borrower

 

Sublimit and the Borrower Credit Exposure of the Company have been reduced to zero and all fees and other amounts payable by the Company pursuant to the Credit Agreement with respect to the Company Obligations shall have been duly paid.

 

SECTION 2.  The 2006 Credit Agreement Series Bonds and the Trustee’s Certificate of Authentication shall be substantially in the following forms respectively:

ILLINOIS POWER COMPANY, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Illinois (the “Company”), which term shall include any successor corporation as defined in the Indenture hereinafter referred to, for value received, hereby promises to pay to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Agent”) for the Lenders (as defined below) under the Credit Agreement, dated as of July 14, 2006, by and among the Company, Central Illinois Light Company, Central Illinois Public Service Company, AmerenEnergy Resources Generating Company and CILCORP Inc., as borrowers, the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”) and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (as amended or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), or registered assigns, the principal sum of $150,000,000 or such lesser principal amount as shall be equal to the amount of the Borrower Credit Exposure (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of the Company outstanding on the Maturity Date (having at any time the meaning such term has at such time under the Credit Agreement) of the Company, but not in excess of the principal amount of this Bond, and to pay interest thereon at the Interest Rate (as defined below) until the principal hereof is paid or duly made available for payment on the Maturity Date or in the event of redemption of this Bond, until the redemption date.

 

Interest on this Bond shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date (as defined below), commencing on the first Interest Payment Date next succeeding the date of this Bond. If the Maturity Date falls on a day which is not a Business Day, as defined below, principal and any interest and/or fees payable with respect to the Maturity Date will be paid on the next succeeding Business Day. The interest payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, subject to certain exceptions provided in the Supplemental Indenture dated as

 

 

of June 15, 2006, hereinafter referred to, be paid to the person in whose name this Bond (or one or more predecessor bonds) is registered at the close of business on the Record Date (as defined below); provided, however, that interest payable on the Maturity Date will be payable to the person to whom the principal hereof shall be payable. Should the Company default in the payment of interest (“Defaulted Interest”), the Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the person in whose name this Bond is registered on the Record Date to be established by the Trustee for payment of such Defaulted Interest. As used herein, (A) “Business Day” shall have the meaning assigned thereto in the Credit Agreement; (B) “Interest Payment Date” shall mean each date on which Company Obligations constituting interest and/or fees are due and payable from time to time pursuant to the Credit Agreement; (C) “Interest Rate” shall mean a rate of interest per annum, adjusted as necessary, to result in an interest payment equal to the aggregate amount of Company Obligations constituting interest and fees of the Company due under the Credit Agreement on the applicable Interest Payment Date; and (D) “Record Date” with respect to any Interest Payment Date shall mean the day (whether or not a Business Day) immediately next preceding such Interest Payment Date.

 

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

 

This Bond is to be issued and delivered to the Agent in order to evidence and secure the obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement to make payments to the Lenders under the Credit Agreement and to provide the Lenders the benefit of the lien of the Indenture with respect to the 2006 Credit Agreement Series Bonds.

 

The obligation of the Company to make payments with respect to principal under the Credit Agreement shall not give rise to an obligation to pay principal of the 2006 Credit Agreement Series Bonds except on the Maturity Date of the Company or upon redemption hereof. If at any time any permanent reduction of the Borrower Sublimit (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of the Company or the Borrower Credit Exposure (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of the Company shall result in the principal of the 2006 Credit Agreement Series Bonds being greater than the greater of the Borrower Sublimit and the Borrower Credit Exposure, a payment obligation with respect to the principal of the 2006 Credit Agreement Series Bonds in the amount of such excess shall be deemed discharged upon the effectiveness of such permanent reduction. No payment of principal under the Credit Agreement shall reduce the principal amount of the 2006 Credit Agreement Series Bonds to an amount less than the greater of the Borrower Sublimit and the Borrower Credit Exposure.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Illinois Power Company has caused this Bond to be signed (manually or by facsimile signature) in its name by an Authorized Executive Officer, as defined in the aforesaid Indenture, and attested (manually or by facsimile signature) by an Authorized Executive Officer, as defined in such Indenture on the date hereof.
