Item 13. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Ameren Missouri Securitization Funding I, LLC

Section 18-108 of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act provides that subject to such standards and restrictions, if any, as are set forth in the limited liability company agreement of a limited liability company, a limited liability company may, and shall have the power to, indemnify and hold harmless any member or manager or other person from and against any and all claims and demands whatsoever. Under the limited liability company agreement of Ameren Missouri Securitization Funding I, LLC, the issuing entity will indemnify its member and its managers to the fullest extent permitted by law against any liability incurred with respect to their services as managers and member under the issuing entity’s limited liability company agreement, except for liabilities arising from their own fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct or, in the case of an independent manager, their bad faith or willful misconduct.

Union Electric Company d/b/a Ameren Missouri

Section 351.355 of The General and Business Corporation Law of Missouri (“MGBCL”) provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, other than an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit, or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

Furthermore, such a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses,

II-1

including attorneys’ fees, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation; except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought determines upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability and in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the court shall deem proper.

To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit, or proceeding referred to in the prior two paragraphs, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses, including attorney’s fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit, or proceeding.

Article IV of the Bylaws of Ameren Missouri, consistent with the applicable provisions of the MGBCL, provides for indemnification of directors and officers. Article IV provides as follows:

Each person who now is or hereafter becomes a director, officer or employee of [Ameren Missouri], or who now is or hereafter becomes a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise at the request of [Ameren Missouri], shall be entitled to indemnification to the extent permitted by law and these Bylaws. Such right of indemnification shall include, but not be limited to, the following:

Section 1. (a) [Ameren Missouri] shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, other than an action by or in the right of [Ameren Missouri], by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer or employee of [Ameren Missouri], or is or was serving at the request of [Ameren Missouri] as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of [Ameren Missouri], and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit, or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of [Ameren Missouri], and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

(b) [Ameren Missouri] shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of [Ameren Missouri] to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer or employee of [Ameren Missouri], or is or was serving at the request of [Ameren Missouri] as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of [Ameren Missouri]; except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to [Ameren Missouri] unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought determines upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability and in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the court shall deem proper.

(c) To the extent that a director, officer or employee of [Ameren Missouri] or a person who is or was serving at the request of [Ameren Missouri] as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit, or proceeding referred to in this Article, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit, or proceeding.

II-2

Unless otherwise expressly provided by the Board of Directors, in no event shall any person who is or was an agent of [Ameren Missouri], or is or was serving at the request of [Ameren Missouri] as an employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or enterprise, be entitled to any indemnification by [Ameren Missouri] in any action, suit or proceeding, regardless of the fact that such person may have been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein. The preceding sentence is intended to eliminate any right any such person might otherwise have to be indemnified by [Ameren Missouri] pursuant to Section 351.355.3. of the General and Business Corporation Law of Missouri.

(d) Any indemnification under this Article, unless ordered by a court, shall be made by [Ameren Missouri] only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer or employee is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Article. The determination shall be made by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit, or proceeding, or if such a quorum is not obtainable, or even if obtainable a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or by the shareholders.

Section 2. (a) In addition to the indemnity authorized or contemplated under other Sections of this Article, [Ameren Missouri] shall further indemnify to the maximum extent permitted by law, any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, or proceeding (including appeals), whether civil, criminal, investigative (including private Company investigations), or administrative, including an action by or in the right of [Ameren Missouri], by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer or employee of [Ameren Missouri], or is or was serving at the request of [Ameren Missouri] as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, from and against any and all expenses incurred by such person, including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided that [Ameren Missouri] shall not indemnify any person from or on account of such person’s conduct which was finally adjudged to have been knowingly fraudulent, deliberately dishonest or willful misconduct.

(b) Where full and complete indemnification is prohibited by law or public policy, any person referred to in Section 1(a) above who would otherwise be entitled to indemnification nevertheless shall be entitled to partial indemnification to the extent permitted by law and public policy. Furthermore, where full and complete indemnification is prohibited by law or public policy, any person referred to in this Article who would otherwise be entitled to indemnification nevertheless shall have a right of contribution to the extent permitted by law and public policy in cases where said party is held jointly or concurrently liable with [Ameren Missouri].

Section 3. The indemnification provided by Sections 1 and 2 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws or any agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and [Ameren Missouri] is hereby specifically authorized to provide such indemnification by any agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. The indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer or employee entitled to indemnification under this Article and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

Section 4. [Ameren Missouri] is authorized to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of, or provide another method or methods of assuring payment to, any person who is or was a director, officer or employee of [Ameren Missouri], or is or was serving at the request of [Ameren Missouri] as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not [Ameren Missouri] would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of this Article.

Section 5. Expenses incurred by a person who is or was serving as a director or officer of [Ameren Missouri] or a person who is or was serving at the request of [Ameren Missouri] as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, in defending a civil or criminal

II-3

action, suit or proceeding referred to in Sections 1 and 2 of this Article shall be paid by [Ameren Missouri] in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit, or proceeding as shall be authorized by the Board of Directors in the specific case upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay such amount unless it shall ultimately be determined that he is entitled to be indemnified by [Ameren Missouri] as may be authorized in this Article. Expenses incurred by a person who is or was serving as an employee of [Ameren Missouri] in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding referred to in Sections 1 and 2 of this Article may be paid by [Ameren Missouri] in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit, or proceeding as may be authorized by the Board of Directors in the specific case upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such employee to repay such amount unless it shall ultimately be determined that he is entitled to be indemnified by [Ameren Missouri] as authorized in this Article.

Section 6. If any provision or portion of this Article shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, the validity, legality and enforceability of all other provisions and portions not specifically held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, shall not be affected or impaired thereby and shall be construed according to the original intent, to the extent not precluded by applicable law.

Section 7. For purposes of this Article:

(a) References to “[Ameren Missouri]” include all constituent corporations absorbed in a consolidation or merger as well as the resulting or surviving corporation so that any person who is or was a director, officer or employee of such a constituent corporation or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he would if he had served the resulting or surviving corporation in the same capacity.

(b) The term “other enterprise” shall include employee benefit plans; the term “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and the term “serving at the request of [Ameren Missouri]” shall be established as specified below in this Section 7(b) and shall include any service as a director, officer or employee of [Ameren Missouri] which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer or employee with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants, or beneficiaries; and the word “include” or “includes” shall be construed in its expansive sense and not as a limiter; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of [Ameren Missouri]” as referred to in this Article. For purposes of this Article, “serving at the request of [Ameren Missouri]” shall be established solely by (1) express approval by [Ameren’s] Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of such person’s service as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise or (2) the annual review by [Ameren’s] Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of a list of non-affiliated corporations, partnerships, joint ventures, trusts or other enterprises that [Ameren Missouri] officers are serving as a director or officer of, so long as the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not notify any such officer within 30 days after receiving such list that such person is not serving at the request of [Ameren Missouri]. Upon establishing that a person is “serving at the request of [Ameren Missouri]” as described under (1) and (2) above, such person’s service for purposes of this Article shall begin at the time of his initial service as a director or officer of such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. The obligations of [Ameren Missouri] under this Article to provide indemnification or advancement of expenses to a person serving at the request of [Ameren Missouri] as a director or officer of another entity shall only apply to the extent that such person is not entitled to or does not receive indemnification or advancement of expenses from such other entity.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (1) these Bylaws, (2) the By-Laws of [Ameren] (3) the Bylaws of any other majority owned subsidiary of [Ameren] or (4) applicable law, the maximum aggregate liability of [Ameren Missouri], [Ameren] and any other majority owned subsidiary of [Ameren] to any person “serving at the request of [Ameren Missouri],” at any time for all aggregate claims for indemnification and advancement of expenses for such person under these Bylaws, the By-Laws of [Ameren], the Bylaws of any other majority owned subsidiary of [Ameren] and applicable law, for such service shall for all purposes be limited to $25 million, except as otherwise expressly approved by the Board of Directors. Any payment for indemnification or advancement of expenses by [Ameren Missouri] to a person

II-4

“serving at the request of [Ameren Missouri]” under this Article shall be treated as a payment made by [Ameren] under its By-Laws for the purpose of determining the maximum liability of [Ameren] under [Ameren’s] By-Laws payable to a person “serving at the request of [Ameren Missouri].” In no event shall the limitations of this paragraph (c) be construed to apply to any indemnification or advancement of expenses for any service as a director, officer or employee of [Ameren Missouri] which imposes duties on, or involves services by such director, officer or employee with respect to an employee benefit plan of [Ameren Missouri], [Ameren] or any other majority owned subsidiary of [Ameren], or any such plan’s participants or beneficiaries.

Section 8. This Article may be hereafter amended or repealed; provided, however, that no amendment or repeal shall reduce, terminate or otherwise adversely affect the right of a person who is or was a director, officer or employee to obtain indemnification or advancement of expenses with respect to an action, suit, or proceeding that pertains to or arises out of actions or omissions that occur prior to the effective date of such amendment or repeal.

Consistent with the applicable provisions of the MGBCL and the Bylaws, Ameren, on behalf of Ameren Missouri, has purchased insurance on behalf of its officers and directors which insures them against certain liabilities and expenses, including those under the Securities Act of 1933.

The foregoing summaries are necessarily subject to the complete text of the statute, Ameren Missouri’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws, the indemnification agreements and the arrangements referred to above and are qualified in their entirety by reference thereto.

To be filed by amendment.

Item 15. Undertakings

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

ii.

For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

As to incorporation by reference:

For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the issuing entity’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

As to indemnification:

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrants pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, each registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by a registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of such registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, each registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 of a third party that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement in accordance with Item 1100(c)(1) of Regulation AB (17 CFR 229.1100(c)(1)) shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

II-6

The undersigned registrants hereby undertake to file an application for the purpose of developing eligibility of the trustee to act under Subsection (a) of Section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission under Section 305(b)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Member has caused to be filed a Certificate of Formation of the Company with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to form the Company under and pursuant to the LLC Act and has entered into a Limited Liability Company Agreement of the Company, dated as of September 23, 2024 (the “Original LLC Agreement”);

WHEREAS, the Member has, at all times, been the sole member of the Company; and

WHEREAS, in accordance with the LLC Act, the Member desires to continue the Company without dissolution and to enter into this LLC Agreement to amend and restate in its entirety the Original LLC Agreement and to set forth the rights, powers and interests of the Member with respect to the Company and its Membership Interest therein and to provide for the management of the business and operations of the Company.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, adequacy and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby amend and restate in its entirety the Original LLC Agreement as follows:

ARTICLE I

GENERAL PROVISIONS

SECTION 1.01      Definitions.

(a)            Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in Appendix A attached hereto.

(b)            All terms defined in this LLC Agreement shall have the defined meanings when used in any certificate or other document made or delivered pursuant hereto unless otherwise defined therein.

(c)            The words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereunder” and words of similar import, when used in this LLC Agreement, shall refer to this LLC Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this LLC Agreement; Article, Section, Schedule, Exhibit, Appendix, Annex and Attachment references contained in this LLC Agreement are references to Articles, Sections, Schedules, Exhibits, Appendices, Annexes and Attachments in or to this LLC Agreement unless otherwise specified; and the term “including” shall mean “including without limitation.”

(d)            The definitions contained in this LLC Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms.

(e)            Non-capitalized terms used herein which are defined in the LLC Act, shall, as the context requires, have the meanings assigned to such terms in the LLC Act.

SECTION 1.02      Sole Member; Registered Office and Agent.

(a)            The sole Member of the Company shall be Union Electric Company d/b/a Ameren Missouri, a Missouri corporation, or any successor as sole member pursuant to Sections 1.02(c), 6.06 and 6.07. The registered office and registered agent of the Company in the State of Delaware as of the date hereof are The Corporation Trust Company, 1209 Orange Street, Wilmington, Delaware 19801. The Member may change said registered office and agent from one location to another in the State of Delaware. The Member shall provide notice of any such change to the Indenture Trustee.

(b)            Upon the occurrence of any event that causes the Member to cease to be a member of the Company (other than upon continuation of the Company without dissolution upon the transfer or assignment by the Member of all of its limited liability company interest in the Company and the admission of the transferee or an additional Member of the Company pursuant to Sections 1.02(c), 6.06 and 6.07), the Person acting as Independent Manager pursuant to the terms of this LLC Agreement shall, without any action of any Person and simultaneously with the Member ceasing to be a member of the Company, automatically be admitted to the Company as a Special Member and shall continue the Company without dissolution. No Special Member may resign from the Company or transfer its rights as Special Member unless (i) a successor Special Member has been admitted to the Company as Special Member by executing a counterpart to this LLC Agreement, and (ii) such successor has also accepted its appointment as an Independent Manager pursuant to this LLC Agreement; provided, however, the Special Members shall automatically cease to be members of the Company upon the admission to the Company of a substitute Member. Each Special Member shall be a member of the Company that has no interest in the profits, losses and capital of the Company and has no right to receive any distributions of Company assets (and no Special Member shall be treated as a member of the Company for federal income tax purposes). Pursuant to Section 18-301 of the LLC Act, a Special Member shall not be required to make any capital contributions to the Company and shall not receive a limited liability company interest in the Company. A Special Member, in its capacity as Special Member, may not bind the Company. Except as required by any mandatory provision of the LLC Act, each Special Member, in its capacity as Special Member, shall have no right to vote on, approve or otherwise consent to any action by, or matter relating to, the Company, including the merger, consolidation, division or conversion of the Company. In order to implement the admission to the Company of each Special Member, each Person acting as an Independent Manager pursuant to this LLC Agreement shall execute a counterpart to this LLC Agreement. Prior to its admission to the Company as Special Member, each Person acting as an Independent Manager pursuant to this LLC Agreement shall not be a member of the Company. A “Special Member” means, upon such Person’s admission to the Company as a member of the Company pursuant to this Section 1.02(b), a Person acting as an Independent Manager, in such Person’s capacity as a member of the Company. A Special Member shall only have the rights and duties expressly set forth in this LLC Agreement. For purposes of this LLC Agreement, a Special Member is not included within the defined term “Member.”

- 2 -

(c)            The Company may admit additional Members with the affirmative vote or written consent of a majority of the Managers, which vote or written consent must include the affirmative vote or written consent of each Independent Manager. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, it shall be a condition to the admission of any additional Member that the sole Member shall have received an opinion of outside tax counsel (as selected by the Member in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Member and the Indenture Trustee) that the admission of such additional Member shall not cause the Company to be treated, for federal income tax purposes, as having more than a “sole owner” and that the Company shall not be treated, for federal income tax purposes, as an entity separate from such “sole owner”. If such additional Member is being admitted when there are no members of the Company, its admission shall be effective as of the last remaining Member's ceasing to be a member of the Company.

SECTION 1.03      Other Offices. The Company may have an office at 1901 Chouteau Avenue, St. Louis, Missouri 63103, or at any other offices that may at any time be established by the Member at any place or places within or outside the State of Delaware. The Member shall provide notice to the Indenture Trustee of any change in the location of the Company’s office.

SECTION 1.04      Name. The name of the Company shall be “Ameren Missouri Securitization Funding I, LLC”. The name of the Company may be changed from time to time by the Member with ten (10) days’ prior written notice to the Managers and the Indenture Trustee, and the filing of an appropriate amendment to the Certificate of Formation with the Secretary of State as required by the LLC Act.

SECTION 1.05      Purpose; Nature of Business Permitted; Powers. The purposes for which the Company is formed are limited to:

(a)            issuing the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds;

(b)            acquiring, owning, holding, disposing of, administering, servicing or entering into agreements regarding the receipt and servicing of the Securitized Utility Tariff Property, and any other securitized utility tariff bond collateral and related assets created by the Financing Order, and the other collateral;

(d)            distributing amounts released to the Company;

- 3 -

(e)            managing, selling, assigning, pledging, collecting amounts due on, or otherwise dealing with the Securitized Utility Tariff Property and the other Securitized Utility Tariff Bond Collateral and related assets;

(f)            negotiating, executing, assuming and performing the Company’s obligations under the Basic Documents;

(g)            performing other activities that are necessary, suitable or convenient to accomplish these purposes.

The Company shall engage only in any activities related to the foregoing purposes or required or authorized by the terms of the Basic Documents or other agreements referenced above. The Company shall have all powers reasonably incidental, necessary, suitable or convenient to effect the foregoing purposes, including all powers granted under the LLC Act. The Company shall issue the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds pursuant to the Financing Order. The Company is hereby authorized to execute, deliver and perform, and the Member, any Manager (other than an Independent Manager), or any officer of the Company, acting singly or collectively, on behalf of the Company, are hereby authorized to execute and deliver, the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds, the Basic Documents and all registration statements, documents, agreements, certificates or financing statements contemplated thereby or related thereto, all without any further act, vote, consent or approval of any Member, Manager or other Person, notwithstanding any other provision of this LLC Agreement, the LLC Act, or other applicable law, rule or regulation. Notwithstanding any other provision of this LLC Agreement, the LLC Act or other applicable law, any Basic Document executed prior to the date hereof by any Member, Manager or officer on behalf of the Company is hereby ratified and approved in all respects. The authorization set forth in the preceding two sentences shall not be deemed a restriction on the power and authority of the Member or any Manager, including any Independent Manager, to enter into other agreements or documents on behalf of the Company as authorized pursuant to this LLC Agreement and the LLC Act. The Company shall possess and may exercise all the powers and privileges granted by the LLC Act or by any other law or by this LLC Agreement, together with any powers incidental thereto, insofar as such powers and privileges are incidental, necessary, suitable or convenient to the conduct, promotion or attainment of the business purposes or activities of the Company.

SECTION 1.06      Limited Liability Company Agreement; Certificate of Formation. This LLC Agreement shall constitute a “limited liability company agreement” within the meaning of the LLC Act. Jonathan T. Shade, as an authorized person within the meaning of the LLC Act, has caused a certificate of formation of the Company to be executed and filed in the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on September 23, 2024 (such execution and filing being hereby ratified and approved in all respects). Upon the filing of the Certificate of Formation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, his powers as an “authorized person” ceased, and the Member thereupon became the designated “authorized person” and shall continue as the designated “authorized person” within the meaning of the LLC Act. The existence of the Company as a separate legal entity shall continue until the cancellation of the Certificate of Formation of the Company as provided in the LLC Act.

SECTION 1.07      Separate Existence. Except for financial reporting purposes (to the extent required by generally accepted accounting principles) and for federal income tax purposes and, to the extent consistent with applicable state tax law, state income and franchise tax purposes, the Member and the Managers shall take all steps necessary to continue the identity of the Company as a separate legal entity and to make it apparent to third Persons that the Company is an entity with assets and liabilities distinct from those of the Member, Affiliates of the Member or any other Person, and that the Company is not a division of any of the Affiliates of the Company or any other Person. In that regard, and without limiting the foregoing in any manner, the Company shall:

(d)            except as expressly otherwise permitted hereunder or under any of the Basic Documents, not permit the commingling or pooling of the Company’s funds or other assets with the funds or other assets of any Affiliate;

(e)            maintain separate deposit and other bank accounts and funds (separately identifiable from those of the Member or any other Person) to which no Affiliate (except Ameren Missouri, in its capacity as Servicer, and Administrator) has any access, which accounts shall be maintained in the name and, to the extent not inconsistent with applicable federal tax law, with the tax identification number of the Company;

(f)            maintain full books of accounts and records (financial or other) and financial statements separate from those of its Affiliates or any other Person, prepared and maintained in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (including, all resolutions, records, agreements or instruments underlying or regarding the transactions contemplated by the Basic Documents or otherwise) and audited annually by an independent accounting firm which shall provide such audit to the Indenture Trustee;

(g)            pay its own liabilities out of its own funds, including fees and expenses of the Administrator pursuant to the Administration Agreement and the Servicer pursuant to the Servicing Agreement;

(h)            not hire or maintain any employees, but shall compensate (either directly or through reimbursement of the Company’s allocable share of any shared expenses) all consultants, agents and Affiliates, to the extent applicable, for services provided to the Company by such consultants, agents or Affiliates, in each case, from the Company’s own funds;

- 5 -

(i)            allocate fairly and reasonably the salaries of and the expenses related to providing the benefits of officers or managers shared with the Member, any Special Member or any Manager;

(j)            allocate fairly and reasonably any overhead shared with the Member, any Special Member or any Manager;

(k)            pay from its own bank accounts for accounting and payroll services, rent, lease and other expenses (or the Company’s allocable share of any such amounts provided by one or more other Affiliates) and not have such Ongoing Financing Costs (or the Company’s allocable share thereof) paid by any Affiliates, provided, that the Member shall be permitted to pay the initial organization expenses of the Company and certain of the expenses related to the transactions contemplated by the Basic Documents as provided therein;

(l)            maintain adequate capitalization to conduct its business and affairs considering the Company’s size and the nature of its business and intended purposes and, after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Basic Documents, refrain from engaging in a business for which its remaining property represents an unreasonably small capital;

(m)            conduct all of the Company’s business (whether in writing or orally) solely in the name of the Company through the Member and the Company’s Managers, officers and agents and hold the Company out as an entity separate from any Affiliate;

(n)            not make or declare any distributions of cash or property to the Member except in accordance with appropriate limited liability company formalities and only consistent with sound business judgment to the extent that it is permitted pursuant to the Basic Documents and not violative of any applicable law;

(o)            otherwise practice and adhere to all limited liability company procedures and formalities to the extent required by this LLC Agreement or all other appropriate constituent documents and the laws of its state of formation and all other appropriate jurisdictions;

(p)            not appoint an Affiliate or any employee of an Affiliate as an agent of the Company, except as otherwise permitted in the Basic Documents (although such Persons can qualify as a Manager or as an officer of the Company);

(v)            direct creditors of the Company to send invoices and other statements of account of the Company directly to the Company and not to any Affiliate and cause the Affiliates to direct their creditors not to send invoices and other statements of accounts of such Affiliates to the Company;

(w)            cause the Member to maintain as official records all resolutions, agreements, and other instruments underlying or regarding the transactions contemplated by the Basic Documents;

(x)            disclose, and cause the Member to disclose, in its financial statements the effects of all transactions between the Member and the Company in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and in a manner which makes it clear that (i) the Company is a separate legal entity, (ii) the assets of the Company (including the Securitized Utility Tariff Property transferred to the Company pursuant to the Sale Agreement) are not assets of any Affiliate and are not available to pay creditors of any Affiliate and (iii) neither the Member nor any other Affiliate is liable or responsible for the debts of the Company;

(y)            treat and cause the Member to treat the transfer of the Securitized Utility Tariff Property from the Member to the Company as a sale under the Securitization Law;

(aa)          so long as any of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds are Outstanding, treat the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds as debt for all purposes and specifically as debt of the Company, other than for financial reporting, state or federal regulatory or tax purposes;

(bb)          solely for purposes of federal taxes and, to the extent consistent with applicable state, local and other tax law, state, local and other taxes, so long as any of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds are Outstanding, treat the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds as indebtedness of the Member secured by the Securitized Utility Tariff Bond Collateral unless otherwise required by appropriate taxing authorities;

SECTION 1.08      Limitation on Certain Activities. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this LLC Agreement and any provision of law that otherwise so empowers the Company, the Member or any Manager or any other Person, the Company, and the Member or Managers or any other Person on behalf of the Company, shall not:

(b)            without the prior unanimous affirmative vote or written consent of the Member and all of the Managers, including each Independent Manager, file a voluntary bankruptcy petition for relief with respect to the Company under the Bankruptcy Code or any other state, local, federal, foreign or other law relating to bankruptcy, consent to the institution of insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings against the Company or otherwise institute insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings with respect to the Company or take any limited liability company action in furtherance of any such filing or institution of a proceeding; provided however, that neither the Member nor any Manager may authorize the taking of any of the foregoing actions unless there is at least one Independent Manager then serving in such capacity;

(c)            without the prior unanimous affirmative vote or written consent of all Managers, including each Independent Manager, and then only to the extent permitted by the Basic Documents, convert, merge or consolidate with any other Person or sell all or substantially all of its assets or acquire all or substantially all of the assets or capital stock or other ownership interest of any other Person;

- 8 -

(d)            take any action, file any tax return, or make any election inconsistent with the treatment of the Company, for purposes of federal income taxes and, to the extent consistent with applicable state tax law, state income and franchise tax purposes, as a disregarded entity that is not separate from the Member;

(e)            incur any indebtedness or assume or guarantee any indebtedness of any Person (other than the indebtedness incurred under the Basic Documents);

SECTION 1.09      No State Law Partnership. No provisions of this LLC Agreement shall be deemed or construed to constitute a partnership (including a limited partnership) or joint venture, or the Member a partner or joint venturer of or with any Manager or the Company, for any purposes.

ARTICLE II

CAPITAL

SECTION 2.01      Initial Capital. The initial capital of the Company shall be the sum of cash contributed to the Company by the Member (the “Capital Contribution”) in the amount set out opposite the name of the Member on Schedule A hereto, as amended from time to time and incorporated herein by this reference.

SECTION 2.02      Additional Capital Contributions. It is expected that no capital contributions to the Company will be necessary after the purchase of the Securitized Utility Tariff Property. On or prior to the date of issuance of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds, the Member shall make an additional contribution to the Company in an amount equal to 0.50% of the initial principal amount of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds less the initial Capital Contribution, which amount the Company shall deposit into the capital subaccount of the Collection Account established by the Indenture Trustee as provided under the Indenture. All capital contributions shall be made in accordance with all applicable limited liability company procedures and requirements, including proper record keeping by the Member and the Company. Each capital contribution will be acknowledged by a written receipt signed by any one of the Managers. The Managers acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding anything in this LLC Agreement to the contrary, such additional contribution will be invested only in Eligible Investments, and all income earned thereon shall be allocated or paid by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture.

- 9 -

SECTION 2.03      Capital Account. A Capital Account shall be established and maintained for the Member on the Company’s books (the “Capital Account”).

SECTION 2.04      Interest. On any Payment Date, with respect to any collection period, the sum of investment earnings on the Capital Account for such collection period shall, subject to the LLC Act, be paid in accordance with the Indenture.

ARTICLE III

ALLOCATIONS; BOOKS

SECTION 3.01      Allocations of Income and Loss.

(a)            Book Allocations. The net income and net loss of the Company shall be allocated entirely to the Member.

(b)            Tax Allocations. Because the Company is not making (and will not make) an election to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation under Section 301.7701-3(a) of the Treasury Regulations, and because the Company is a business entity that has a single owner and is not a corporation, it is expected to be disregarded as an entity separate from its owner for federal income tax purposes under Section 301.7701-3(b)(1) of the Treasury Regulations. Accordingly, all items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of the Company for all taxable periods will be treated for federal income tax purposes, and for state and local income and other tax purposes to the extent permitted by applicable law, as realized or incurred directly by the Member. To the extent not so permitted, all items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of the Company shall be allocated entirely to the Member as permitted by applicable tax law, and the Member shall pay (or indemnify the Company, the Indenture Trustee and each of their officers, managers, employees or agents for, and defend and hold harmless each such Person from and against its payment of) any taxes levied or assessed upon all or any part of the Company’s property or assets based on existing law as of the date hereof, including any sales, gross receipts, general corporation, personal property, privilege, franchise or license taxes (but excluding any taxes imposed as a result of a failure of such person to properly withhold or remit taxes imposed with respect to payments on any Securitized Utility Tariff Bond). The Indenture Trustee (on behalf of the Secured Parties) shall be a third party beneficiary of the Member’s obligations set forth in this Section 3.01, it being understood that Bondholders shall be entitled to enforce their rights against the Member under this Section 3.01 solely through a cause of action brought for their benefit by such Indenture Trustee.

MEMBER

SECTION 4.01      Powers. Subject to the provisions of this LLC Agreement (including without limitation Sections 1.07 and 1.08), it is hereby expressly declared that the Member shall have the following powers:

(a)            To select and remove the Managers, prescribe such powers and duties for them as may be consistent with the LLC Act and other applicable law and this LLC Agreement, fix their compensation, and require from them security for faithful service; provided, that, except as provided in Section 7.06, at all times during which any of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds are Outstanding and the Indenture remains in full force and effect (and otherwise in accordance with the Indenture) the Company shall have at least one Independent Manager. Prior to the issuance of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds, the Member shall appoint at least one Independent Manager. An “Independent Manager” means an individual who (1) has prior experience as an independent director, independent manager or independent member for special-purpose entities, (2) is employed by a nationally-recognized company that provides professional independent managers and other corporate services in the ordinary course of its business, (3) is duly appointed as an Independent Manager of the Company and (4) is not and has not been for at least five years from the date of his or her appointment, and while serving as an Independent Manager of the Company will not be, any of the following;

- 11 -

(i)            an employee, director, stockholder, manager, partner, agent, consultant, attorney, accountant, advisor or officer of the Company, the Member or any of their respective affiliates, other than his or her service as Independent Manager or Special Member of the Company or similar roles for any other special purpose bankruptcy-remote entity); provided, that the indirect or beneficial ownership of stock of the Member or its affiliates through a mutual fund or similar diversified investment vehicle with respect to which the owner does not have discretion or control over the investments held by such diversified investment vehicle shall not preclude such owner from being an Independent Manager;

(ii)            a creditor, service provider or supplier (including provider of professional services) of the Company, the Member or any of their respective equity holders or affiliates (other than a nationally-recognized company that routinely provides professional independent managers and other corporate services to the Company, the Member or any of their affiliates in the ordinary course of its business);

(iii)            any member of the immediate family of any such Person described in clauses (i) or (ii) above; or

(iv)            a Person that controls (whether directly, indirectly or otherwise) any of clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above.

A natural person who otherwise satisfies the foregoing definition and satisfies subparagraph (i) by reason of being the independent manager or independent director of a “special purpose entity” affiliated with the Company shall be qualified to serve as an Independent Manager of the Company, provided that the fees that such individual earns from serving as an independent manager or independent director of Affiliates of the Company in any given year constitute in the aggregate less than five percent (5%) of such individual’s annual income for that year. For purposes of this paragraph, a “special purpose entity” is an entity, whose organizational documents contain restrictions on its activities and impose requirements intended to preserve such entity’s separateness that are substantially similar to the Special Purpose Provisions of this LLC Agreement.

The fees charged by an Independent Manager shall be determined without regard to the income of the Company, shall not be deemed to constitute distributions to the recipient of any profit, loss or capital of the Company and shall be considered an Ongoing Financing Cost of the Company subject to the limitations on such expenses set forth in the Financing Order. Each Manager, including each Independent Manager, is hereby deemed to be a “manager” within the meaning of Section 18-101(12) of the LLC Act.

Promptly following any resignation or replacement of any Independent Manager, the Member shall give written notice to each applicable Rating Agency and to the Indenture Trustee of any such resignation or replacement.

SECTION 4.02      Compensation of Member. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company shall have authority to reimburse the Member for out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Member in connection with its service to the Company. It is understood that the compensation paid to the Member under the provisions of this Section 4.02 shall be determined without regard to the income of the Company, shall not, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be deemed to constitute distributions to the recipient of any profit, loss or capital of the Company and shall be considered as an Ongoing Financing Cost.

- 12 -

SECTION 4.03      Other Ventures. Notwithstanding any duties (including fiduciary duties) otherwise existing at law or in equity, it is expressly agreed that the Member, the Managers, the Special Member and any Affiliates, officers, directors, managers, stockholders, partners or employees of the Member, the Special Member or the Independent Manager may engage in other business ventures of any nature and description, whether or not in competition with the Company, independently or with others, and the Company and the Member shall not have any rights in and to any independent venture or activity or the income or profits derived therefrom by virtue of this Agreement.

SECTION 4.04      Actions by the Member. All actions of the Member may be taken by written resolution of the Member which shall be signed on behalf of the Member by an authorized officer of the Member and filed with the records of the Company.

SECTION 6.02      Distributions. The Member shall be entitled to receive, out of the assets of the Company legally available therefor, distributions payable in cash in such amounts, if any, as the Managers shall declare.

SECTION 6.03      Rights on Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up.

(a)            In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the Member shall be entitled to all remaining assets of the Company available for distribution to the Member after satisfaction (whether by payment or reasonable provision for payment) of all liabilities, debts and obligations of the Company.

(a)            The Member may transfer its Membership Interest, in whole but not in part, but the transferee shall not be admitted as a Member except in accordance with Section 6.07. Until the transferee is admitted as a Member, the Member shall continue to be the sole member of the Company (subject to Section 1.02) and to be entitled to exercise any rights or powers of a Member of the Company with respect to the Membership Interest transferred.

(b)            To the fullest extent permitted by law, any purported transfer of any Membership Interest in violation of the provisions of this LLC Agreement shall be wholly void and shall not effectuate the transfer contemplated thereby.

SECTION 6.07      Admission of Transferee as Member.

The transferee shall also be liable, to the extent of the Membership Interest transferred, for the unfulfilled obligations, if any, of the transferor Member to make capital contributions to the Company, but shall not be obligated for liabilities unknown to the transferee at the time such transferee was admitted as a Member and that could not be ascertained from this LLC Agreement.

Each Manager designated by the Member shall hold office until a successor is elected and qualified or until such Manager’s earlier death, resignation, expulsion or removal. Each Manager shall execute and deliver the Management Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. Managers need not be a Member. The Managers designated by the Member as of the date hereof are listed on Schedule B hereto.

- 16 -

(b)            Each Manager shall be designated by the Member and shall hold office for the term for which designated and until a successor has been designated.

Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.02 with respect to an Independent Manager, a Manager shall perform his or her duties as a Manager in good faith, in a manner he or she reasonably believes to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and with such care as an ordinarily prudent Person in a like position would use under similar circumstances.

(d)            Except as otherwise provided in this LLC Agreement, the Managers shall act by the affirmative vote or consent of a majority of the Managers. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any contrary provision of this Agreement, the vote or consent of each Independent Manager shall only be required for actions of the Managers with respect to which the terms of this Agreement expressly require the consent of an Independent Manager, including without limitation, as expressly required in Section 1.02(c), Section 1.08(b), Section 1.08(c), Section 1.08(g), Section 6.07(a), Section 7.02, Section 9.02(a) and Section 11.02(a), and any other actions of the Managers shall be taken, and a quorum of the Managers shall be calculated, as if each Independent Manager is not a Manager.

(e)            Subject to the terms of this LLC Agreement, any action may be taken by the Managers without a meeting and without prior notice if authorized by the written consent of a majority of the Managers (or such greater number as is required by this LLC Agreement), which written consent shall be filed with the records of the Company.

(f)            Every Manager is an agent of the Company for the purpose of its business, and the act of every Manager, including the execution in the Company name of any instrument for carrying on the business of the Company, binds the Company, unless such act is in contravention of this LLC Agreement or unless the Manager so acting otherwise lacks the authority to act for the Company and the Person with whom he or she is dealing has knowledge of the fact that he or she has no such authority.

(g)            To the extent permitted by law, the Managers shall not be personally liable for the Company’s debts, obligations or liabilities.

SECTION 7.02      Powers of the Managers. Subject to the terms of this LLC Agreement, the Managers shall have the right and authority to take all actions which the Managers deem incidental, necessary, suitable or convenient for the management and conduct of the Company’s business.

An Independent Manager may not delegate their duties, authorities or responsibilities hereunder. If an Independent Manager resigns, dies or becomes incapacitated, or such position is otherwise vacant, no action requiring the unanimous affirmative vote or written consent of the Managers shall be taken until a successor Independent Manager is appointed by the Member and qualifies and approves such action.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, including Section 18-1101(c) of the LLC Act, and notwithstanding any duty otherwise existing at law or in equity, each Independent Manager shall consider only the interests of the Company, including its creditors, in acting or otherwise voting on the matters referred to in Section 1.02(c), Section 1.08(b), Section 1.08(c), Section 1.08(g), Section 6.07(a), this Section 7.02, Section 9.02(a) and Section 11.02(a). Except for duties to the Company as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence (including duties to the Member and the Company’s creditors solely to the extent of their respective economic interests in the Company but excluding (i) all other interests of the Member, (ii) the interests of other Affiliates of the Company, and (iii) the interests of any group of Affiliates of which the Company is a part) or otherwise as expressly provided herein, the Independent Manager(s) shall not have any duties (including fiduciary duties) to the Company, the Member, any Manager or any other Person bound by this LLC Agreement; provided, however, the foregoing shall not eliminate the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing. To the fullest extent permitted by law, including Section 18-1101(e) of the LLC Act, an Independent Manager shall not be liable to the Company, the Member or any other Person bound by this LLC Agreement for breach of contract or breach of duties (including fiduciary duties), unless such Independent Manager acted in bad faith or engaged in willful misconduct.

No Independent Manager shall at any time serve as trustee in bankruptcy for any Affiliate of the Company.

Subject to the terms of this LLC Agreement, the Managers may exercise all powers of the Company and do all such lawful acts and things as are not prohibited by the LLC Act, other applicable law or this LLC Agreement directed or required to be exercised or done by the Member. All duly authorized instruments, contracts, agreements and documents providing for the acquisition or disposition of property of the Company shall be valid and binding on the Company if executed by one or more of the Managers.

The compensation, if any, of the Independent Manager(s) shall be fixed from time to time by the Managers (other than the Independent Manager(s)). Such compensation shall be determined without regard to the income of the Company, shall not be deemed to constitute distributions to the recipient of any profit, loss or capital of the Company and shall be considered an Ongoing Financing Cost. The Company shall not compensate the Managers (other than the Independent Manager) for their services on behalf of the Company.

Notwithstanding the terms of Section 7.01, 7.07 or 7.09 or any provision of this LLC Agreement to the contrary, (x) no meeting, vote or written consent with respect to any action described in clauses (b), (c) or (g) of Section 1.08 or any amendment to any of the Special Purpose Provisions shall be conducted unless each Independent Manager is present or has provided his or her written consent and (y) neither the Company nor the Member, any Manager or any officer on behalf of the Company shall (i) take any action described in clauses (b), (c) or (g) of Section 1.08 unless each Independent Manager has consented thereto or (ii) adopt any amendment to any of the Special Purpose Provisions unless each Independent Manager has consented thereto. The vote or written consent of an Independent Manager with respect to any such action or amendment shall not be dictated by the Member or any other Manager or officer of the Company.

SECTION 7.03      Reimbursement. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company may reimburse any Manager, directly or indirectly, for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such Manager in connection with its services rendered to the Company. Such reimbursement shall be determined by the Managers without regard to the income of the Company, shall not be deemed to constitute distributions to the recipient of any profit, loss or capital of the Company and shall be considered an Ongoing Financing Cost. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company shall reimburse the Independent Manager for reasonable expenses including the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of the agents, representatives, experts and counsel that the Independent Manager may employ in connection with the exercise and performance of his or her rights and duties under this Agreement.

SECTION 7.04      Removal of Managers.

(a)            Subject to Section 4.01, the Member may remove any (i) Manager (other than an Independent Manager) with or without cause at any time, and (ii) Independent Manager with Cause at any time.

(b)            Subject to Sections 4.01 and 7.05, any removal of a Manager shall become effective on such date as may be specified by the Member and in a notice delivered to any remaining Managers or the Manager designated to replace the removed Manager (except that it shall not be effective on a date earlier than the date such notice is delivered to the remaining Managers or the Manager designated to replace the removed Manager).

SECTION 7.05      Resignation of Manager. A Manager other than an Independent Manager may resign as a Manager at any time by thirty (30) days’ prior notice to the Member.

No resignation or removal of an Independent Manager, and no appointment of a successor Independent Manager, shall be effective until such successor (i) shall have accepted his or her appointment as an Independent Manager by a written instrument, which may be a counterpart signature page to the Management Agreement, and (ii) shall have executed a counterpart to this LLC Agreement.

- 19 -

SECTION 7.06      Vacancies. Subject to Section 4.01, any vacancies among the Managers may be filled by the Member.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this LLC Agreement, no Independent Manager shall be removed or replaced unless the Company provides the Indenture Trustee with no less than two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice of (a) any proposed removal of such Independent Manager, and (b) the identity of the proposed replacement Independent Manager, together with a certification that such replacement satisfies the requirements for an Independent Manager set forth in this LLC Agreement.

SECTION 7.09      Committees of Managers.

(a)            The Managers may, by resolution passed by a majority of the Managers (excluding the Independent Manager), designate one or more committees, each committee to consist of one or more of the Managers (excluding the Independent Manager). The Managers may designate one or more Managers (excluding the Independent Manager) as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee.

(i)            Any such committee, to the extent provided in the resolution of the Managers, shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Managers in the management of the business and affairs of the Company.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the dissolution of the Member will not cause the Member to cease to be a member of the Company, and upon the occurrence of such an event, the Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, continue without dissolution. For purposes of this Section 9.01(b), “Bankruptcy” means, with respect to any Person (A) if such Person (i) makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, (ii) files a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, (iii) is adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or has entered against it an order for relief, in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, (iv) files a petition or answer seeking for itself any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation or similar relief under any statute, law or regulation, (v) files an answer or other pleading admitting or failing to contest the material allegations of a petition filed against it in any proceeding of this nature, or (vi) seeks, consents to or acquiesces in the appointment of a trustee, receiver or liquidator of the Person or of all or any substantial part of its properties, or (B) if 120 days after the commencement of any proceeding against the Person seeking reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation or similar relief under any statute, law or regulation, the proceeding has not been dismissed or if within 90 days after the appointment without such Person’s consent or acquiescence of a trustee, receiver or liquidator of such Person or of all or any substantial part of its properties, the appointment is not vacated or stayed, or within 90 days after the expiration of any such stay, the appointment is not vacated. The foregoing definition of “Bankruptcy” is intended to replace and shall supersede and replace the definition of “Bankruptcy” set forth in Sections 18-101(1) and 18-304 of the LLC Act. Upon the occurrence of any event that causes the last remaining member of the Company to cease to be a member of the Company or that causes the Member to cease to be a member of the Company (other than upon continuation of the Company without dissolution upon an assignment by the Member of all of its limited liability company interest in the Company and the admission of the transferee pursuant to Sections 6.06 and 6.07), to the fullest extent permitted by law, the personal representative of such member is hereby authorized to, and shall, within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of the event that terminated the continued membership of such member in the Company, agree in writing (i) to continue the Company and (ii) to the admission of the personal representative or its nominee or designee, as the case may be, as a substitute member of the Company, effective as of the occurrence of the event that terminated the continued membership of the last remaining member of the Company or the Member in the Company.

SECTION 9.02      Dissolution. The Company shall be dissolved and its affairs shall be wound up upon the occurrence of the earliest of the following events:

(a)            subject to Section 1.08, the election to dissolve the Company made in writing by the Member and each Manager, including each Independent Manager, as permitted under the Basic Documents and after the discharge in full of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds;

(b)            the termination of the legal existence of the last remaining member of the Company or the occurrence of any event that causes the last remaining member of the Company to cease to be a member of the Company unless the Company is continued without dissolution in a manner permitted by the LLC Act or this LLC Agreement; or

- 22 -

SECTION 9.03      Accounting. In the event of the dissolution, liquidation and winding-up of the Company, a proper accounting shall be made of the Capital Account of the Member and of the net income or net loss of the Company from the date of the last previous accounting to the date of dissolution.

SECTION 9.04      Certificate of Cancellation. As soon as possible following the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 9.02 and the completion of the winding up of the Company, the Person winding up the business and affairs of the Company, as an authorized person, shall cause to be executed a Certificate of Cancellation of the Certificate of Formation and file the Certificate of Cancellation of the Certificate of Formation as required by the LLC Act.

SECTION 9.05      Winding Up. Upon the dissolution of the Company, the Company shall continue solely for the purpose of winding up its affairs in an orderly manner, liquidating its assets, and satisfying the claims of its creditors. The Member, or if there is no Member, the Managers, shall be responsible for overseeing the winding up and liquidation of the Company, shall take full account of the liabilities of the Company and its assets, shall either cause its assets to be sold or distributed, and if sold as promptly as is consistent with obtaining the fair market value thereof, shall cause the proceeds therefrom, to the extent sufficient therefor, to be applied and distributed as provided in Section 9.06.

SECTION 9.06      Order of Payment of Liabilities Upon Dissolution. After determining that all debts and liabilities of the Company, including all contingent, conditional or unmatured liabilities of the Company, in the process of winding-up, including, without limitation, debts and liabilities to the Member in the event it is a creditor of the Company to the extent otherwise permitted by law, have been paid or adequately provided for, the remaining assets shall be distributed in cash or in kind to the Member.

SECTION 9.07      Limitations on Payments Made in Dissolution. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this LLC Agreement, the Member shall only be entitled to look solely to the assets of Company for the return of its positive Capital Account balance and shall have no recourse for its Capital Contribution and/or share of net income (upon dissolution or otherwise) against any Manager.

SECTION 9.08      Limitation on Liability. Except as otherwise provided by the LLC Act and except as otherwise characterized for tax and financial reporting purposes, the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be solely the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, and no Member, Special Member or Manager shall be obligated personally for any such debt, obligation or liability of the Company solely by reason of being a Member, a Special Member or a Manager.

(a)           The Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer by any of its Responsible Officers. The signature of any such Responsible Officer on the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds may be manual or electronic.

After the preparation of Definitive Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds, the Temporary Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds shall be exchangeable for Definitive Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds upon surrender of the Temporary Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds at the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 3.02, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more Temporary Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of Definitive Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds of authorized denominations.

SECTION 2.05. Registration; Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds.

(a)           The Issuer shall cause to be kept a register (the “Securitized Utility Tariff Bond Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Issuer shall provide for the registration of Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds and the registration of transfers of Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds. The Indenture Trustee shall be “Securitized Utility Tariff Bond Registrar” for the purpose of registering Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds and transfers of Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds as herein provided.

(c)           Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Securitized Utility Tariff Bond at the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 3.02, provided that the requirements of Section 8-401 of the UCC are met, the Issuer shall execute, and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and the Holder shall obtain from the Indenture Trustee, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds in any Minimum Denominations, of the same Tranche and aggregate principal amount.

Whenever any Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds are so surrendered for exchange, the Issuer shall, provided that the requirements of Section 8-401 of the UCC are met, execute and, upon any such execution, the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and the Holder shall obtain from the Indenture Trustee, the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

(e)           All Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of other Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

(f)             Every Securitized Utility Tariff Bond presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by (A) a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee duly executed by the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an institution which is a member of one of the following recognized Signature Guaranty Programs: (i) The Securities Transfer Agent Medallion Program (STAMP); (ii) The New York Stock Exchange Medallion Program (MSP); (iii) The Stock Exchange Medallion Program (SEMP); or (iv) such other guarantee program acceptable to the Indenture Trustee, and (B) such other documents as the Indenture Trustee may require.

(g)            Each transferee of Securitized Utility Tariff Bond in definitive form that is presented for registration will be required to represent and warrant (or in the case of a Securitized Utility Tariff Bond held in Book-Entry Form will be deemed to represent and warrant by virtue of its acquisition of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bond) on each day from and including the date of its acquisition of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bond through and including the date of disposition of any such Securitized Utility Tariff Bond that either (i) it is not and is not acting on behalf of, or using plan assets of, (a) a Plan or any governmental, church or non-U.S. plan that is subject to any Similar Law or (ii) its acquisition, holding and disposition of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bond, in the case of a Plan, will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction in violation of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 the Code or, in the case of a governmental, church or non-U.S. plan subject to Similar Law, will not result in or constitute a violation of such Similar Law.

(h)            No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds, but the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge or any fees or expenses of the Indenture Trustee that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds, other than exchanges pursuant to Sections 2.04 or 2.06 not involving any transfer.

(i)             The preceding provisions of this Section 2.05 notwithstanding, the Issuer shall not be required to make, and the Securitized Utility Tariff Bond Registrar need not register, transfers or exchanges of any Securitized Utility Tariff Bond that has been submitted within fifteen (15) days preceding the due date for any payment with respect to such Securitized Utility Tariff Bond until after such due date has occurred.

SECTION 2.06. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds.

(a)            If (i) any mutilated Securitized Utility Tariff Bond is surrendered to the Indenture Trustee, or the Indenture Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Securitized Utility Tariff Bond and (ii) there is delivered to the Indenture Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by it to hold the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer, the Securitized Utility Tariff Bond Registrar or the Indenture Trustee that such Securitized Utility Tariff Bond has been acquired by a Protected Purchaser, the Issuer shall, provided that the requirements of Section 8-401 of the UCC are met, execute and, upon the Issuer’s written request, the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securitized Utility Tariff Bond , a replacement Securitized Utility Tariff Bond of like Tranche, tenor and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding; provided, however, that if any such destroyed, lost or stolen Securitized Utility Tariff Bond, but not a mutilated Securitized Utility Tariff Bond, shall have become or within seven (7) days shall be due and payable, instead of issuing a replacement Securitized Utility Tariff Bond, the Issuer may pay such destroyed, lost or stolen Securitized Utility Tariff Bond when so due or payable without surrender thereof. If, after the delivery of such replacement Securitized Utility Tariff Bond or payment of a destroyed, lost or stolen Securitized Utility Tariff Bond pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, a Protected Purchaser of the original Securitized Utility Tariff Bond in lieu of which such replacement Securitized Utility Tariff Bond was issued presents for payment such original Securitized Utility Tariff Bond , the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to recover such replacement Securitized Utility Tariff Bond (or such payment) from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking such replacement Securitized Utility Tariff Bond from such Person to whom such replacement Securitized Utility Tariff Bond was delivered or any assignee of such Person, except a Protected Purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee in connection therewith.

(b)            Upon the issuance of any replacement Securitized Utility Tariff Bond under this Section 2.06, the Issuer and/or the Indenture Trustee may require the payment by the Holder of such Securitized Utility Tariff Bond of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other reasonable expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Indenture Trustee and the Securitized Utility Tariff Bond Registrar) connected therewith.

(c)            Every replacement Securitized Utility Tariff Bond issued pursuant to this Section 2.06 in replacement of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securitized Utility Tariff Bond shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securitized Utility Tariff Bond shall be found at any time or enforced by any Person, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds duly issued hereunder.

(d)            The provisions of this Section 2.06 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds.

SECTION 2.07. Persons Deemed Owner.

SECTION 2.08. Payment of Principal, Premium, if any, and Interest; Interest on Overdue Principal; Principal, Premium, if any, and Interest Rights Preserved.

(a)            The Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds shall accrue interest as provided in the Series Supplement at the applicable Securitized Utility Tariff Bond Interest Rate, and such interest shall be payable on each applicable Payment Date. Any installment of interest, principal or premium, if any, payable on any Securitized Utility Tariff Bond which is punctually paid or duly provided for on the applicable Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Securitized Utility Tariff Bond (or one or more Predecessor Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds) is registered on the Record Date for such Payment Date by wire transfer to an account maintained by such Holder in accordance with payment instructions delivered to the Indenture Trustee by such Holder, except that with respect to Book-Entry Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds, payments will be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by the Holder of the applicable Global Securitized Utility Tariff Bond unless and until such Global Securitized Utility Tariff Bond is exchanged for Definitive Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds (in which event payments shall be made as provided above), and except for the final installment of principal and premium, if any, payable with respect to such Securitized Utility Tariff Bond on a Payment Date which shall be payable as provided below.

Failure to pay principal in accordance with such Expected Amortization Schedule because moneys are not available pursuant to Section 8.02 to make such payments shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default under this Indenture; provided, however, that failure to pay the entire unpaid principal amount of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds of a Tranche upon the Final Maturity Date for such Tranche shall constitute a Default or Event of Default under this Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds shall be due and payable, if not previously paid, on the date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds have declared the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in Section 5.02. All payments of principal and premium, if any, on the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds shall be made pro rata to the Holders entitled thereto unless otherwise provided in the Series Supplement. Upon written notice from the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee shall notify the Person in whose name a Securitized Utility Tariff Bond is registered at the close of business on the Record Date preceding the Payment Date on which the Issuer expects that the final installment of principal of and premium, if any, and interest on such Securitized Utility Tariff Bond will be paid. Such notice shall be sent no later than five (5) days prior to such final Payment Date and shall specify that such final installment will be payable only upon presentation and surrender of such Securitized Utility Tariff Bond and shall specify the place where such Securitized Utility Tariff Bond may be presented and surrendered for payment of such installment.

(c)            If interest on the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds is not paid when due, such defaulted interest shall be paid (plus interest on such defaulted interest at the applicable Securitized Utility Tariff Bond Interest Rate to the extent lawful) to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent Special Record Date, which date shall be at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the Special Payment Date. The Issuer shall fix or cause to be fixed any such Special Record Date and Special Payment Date, and, at least ten (10) days before any such Special Record Date, the Issuer shall send to each affected Holder a notice that states the Special Record Date, the Special Payment Date and the amount of defaulted interest (plus interest on such defaulted interest) to be paid.

SECTION 2.09. Cancellation.

All Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds surrendered for payment, registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Indenture Trustee, be delivered to the Indenture Trustee and shall be promptly canceled by the Indenture Trustee. The Issuer may at any time deliver to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation any Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Issuer may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Indenture Trustee. No Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds canceled as provided in this Section 2.09, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds may be held or disposed of by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with its standard retention or disposal policy as in effect at the time.

The Issuer shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP number with respect to any Securitized Utility Tariff Bond .

SECTION 2.15. Letter of Representations.

SECTION 2.16. Tax Treatment.

The Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, by entering into this Indenture, and the Holders and any Persons holding a beneficial interest in any Securitized Utility Tariff Bond , by acquiring any Securitized Utility Tariff Bond or interest therein, (a) express their intention that, solely for the purposes of federal taxes and, to the extent consistent with applicable State, local and other tax law, solely for the purposes of State, local and other taxes, the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds qualify under applicable tax law as indebtedness of the Member secured by the Securitized Utility Tariff Bond Collateral and (b) solely for the purposes of federal taxes and, to the extent consistent with applicable State, local and other tax law, solely for purposes of State, local and other taxes, so long as any of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds are outstanding, agree to treat the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds as indebtedness of the Member secured by the Securitized Utility Tariff Bond Collateral unless otherwise required by appropriate taxing authorities.

SECTION 2.17. State Pledge.

(a)            Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds are “securitized utility tariff bonds” as such term is defined in the Securitization Law. Principal and interest due and payable on the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds are payable from and secured primarily by Securitized Utility Tariff Property created and established by the Financing Order obtained from the MoPSC pursuant to the Securitization Law. Securitized Utility Tariff Property consists of the rights and interests of the Seller in the relevant Financing Order, including the right to impose, bill, charge, collect and receive certain charges (defined in the Securitization Law as “securitized utility tariff charges,” to be included in regular electric utility bills of existing and future electric service Consumers within the service territory of Ameren Missouri, or its successors or assigns, as more fully described in the Financing Order. Under the laws of the State of Missouri in effect on the Closing Date, the State of Missouri has agreed for the benefit of the Holders, pursuant to Sections 393.1700.9 and 393.1700.11(1) of the Securitization Law, as follows:

“The state and its agencies, including the commission, pledge and agree with [Holders], the owners of the [S]ecuritized [U]tility [T]ariff [P]roperty, and other financing parties that the state and its agencies will not take any action listed in this subdivision. [Section 393.1700.11 of the Securitization Law] does not preclude limitation or alteration if full compensation is made by law for the full protection of the securitized utility tariff charges collected pursuant to a financing order and of the bondholders and any assignee or financing party entering into a contract with the electrical corporation. The prohibited actions are as follows: (a) alter the provisions of [Section 393.1700.11 of the Securitization Law], which authorize the Commission to create an irrevocable contract right or chose in action by the issuance of a financing order, to create securitized utility tariff property, and make the securitized utility tariff charges imposed by a financing order irrevocable, binding, or nonbypassable charges for all existing and future retail customers of the electrical corporation except its existing special contract customers; (b) take or permit any action that impairs or would impair the value of securitized utility tariff property or the security for the securitized utility tariff bonds or revises the securitized utility tariff costs for which recovery is authorized; (c) in any way impair the rights and remedies of the bondholders, assignees, and other financing parties; or (d) except for changes made pursuant to the formula-based true-up mechanism authorized under this section, reduce, alter, or impair securitized utility tariff charges that are to be imposed, billed, charged, collected, and remitted for the benefit of the bondholders, any assignee, and any other financing parties until any and all principal, interest, premium, financing costs and other fees, expenses, or charges incurred, and any contracts to be performed, in connection with the related securitized utility tariff bonds have been paid and performed in full.”

“Neither the state nor its political subdivisions are liable on any securitized utility tariff bonds, and the bonds are not a debt or a general obligation of the state or any of its political subdivisions, agencies, or instrumentalities, nor are they special obligations or indebtedness of the state or any agency or political subdivision. An issue of securitized utility tariff bonds does not, directly, indirectly, or contingently, obligate the state or any agency, political subdivision, or instrumentality of the state to levy any tax or make any appropriation for payment of the securitized utility tariff bonds, other than in their capacity as consumers of electricity. All securitized utility tariff bonds shall contain on the face thereof a statement to the following effect: ‘Neither the full faith and credit nor the taxing power of the state of Missouri is pledged to the payment of the principal of, or interest on, this bond.’.”

The Issuer hereby acknowledges that the purchase of any Securitized Utility Tariff Bond by a Holder or the purchase of any beneficial interest in a Securitized Utility Tariff Bond by any Person and the Indenture Trustee’s obligations to perform hereunder are made in reliance on such agreement and pledge by the State of Missouri.

(e)            As promptly as possible after the giving of notice of termination to the Servicer and the Rating Agencies of the Servicer’s rights and powers pursuant to Section 7.01 of the Servicing Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall, at the written direction of the Holders evidencing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds and subject to the terms of any Intercreditor Agreement appoint a successor Servicer (the “Successor Servicer”), and such Successor Servicer shall accept its appointment by a written assumption in a form acceptable to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article IV, the Indenture Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Issuer from time to time upon Issuer Request any moneys or U.S. Government Obligations held by it pursuant to Section 4.02 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of Independent registered public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Indenture Trustee (and not at the cost or expense of the Indenture Trustee), are in excess of the amount thereof which would be required to be deposited for the purpose for which such moneys or U.S. Government Obligations were deposited, provided that any such payment shall be subject to the satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition.

SECTION 4.04. Repayment of Moneys Held by Paying Agent.

In connection with the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or the Covenant Defeasance Option or Legal Defeasance Option with respect to the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds, all moneys then held by any Paying Agent other than the Indenture Trustee under the provisions of this Indenture shall, upon demand of the Issuer, be paid to the Indenture Trustee to be held and applied according to Section 3.03 and thereupon such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such moneys.

SECTION 5.02. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

(a)            If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default under clause (vii) of Section 5.01(a)) should occur and be continuing, then and in every such case the Indenture Trustee or the Holders representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds may declare the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds to be immediately due and payable, by a notice in writing to the Issuer (and to the Indenture Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration the unpaid principal amount of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the date of acceleration, shall become immediately due and payable.

(i)

the Issuer has paid or deposited with the Indenture Trustee a sum sufficient to pay:

all sums paid or advanced by the Indenture Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee and its agents and counsel; and

(ii)

all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds that has become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.12.

SECTION 5.03. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Indenture Trustee.

(a)            If an Event of Default under Section 5.01(a)(i) or (ii) has occurred and is continuing, subject to Section 10.18, the Indenture Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a Proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such Proceeding to judgment or final decree, and, subject to the limitations on recourse set forth herein, may enforce the same against the Issuer or other obligor upon the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Issuer or other obligor upon the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds, wherever situated the moneys payable, or the Securitized Utility Tariff Bond Collateral and the proceeds thereof, the whole amount then due and payable on the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds for principal, premium, if any, and interest, with interest upon the overdue principal and premium, if any, and, to the extent payment at such rate of interest shall be legally enforceable, upon overdue installments of interest, at the respective rate borne by the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds or the applicable Tranche and in addition thereto such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee and its agents and counsel.

(b)            If an Event of Default (other than Event of Default under clause (vii) of Section 5.01(a)) occurs and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee shall, as more particularly provided in Section 5.04, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders, by such appropriate Proceedings as the Indenture Trustee shall deem most effective to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy or legal or equitable right vested in the Indenture Trustee by this Indenture and the Series Supplement or by law, including foreclosing or otherwise enforcing the Lien of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bond Collateral securing the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds or applying to a court of competent jurisdiction for sequestration of revenues arising with respect to the Securitized Utility Tariff Property.

(c)            If an Event of Default under Section 5.01(a)(v) or (vi) has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of any Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Indenture Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.03, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in any Proceedings related to such Event of Default or otherwise:

(i)

to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal, premium, if any, and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Indenture Trustee (including any claim for reasonable compensation to the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee, and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and for reimbursement of all expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee, except as a result of negligence or bad faith) and of the Holders allowed in such Proceedings;

(ii)

unless prohibited by applicable law and regulations, to vote on behalf of the Holders in any election of a trustee in bankruptcy, a standby trustee or Person performing similar functions in any such Proceedings;

(iv)

to file such proofs of claim and other papers and documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Indenture Trustee or the Holders allowed in any judicial proceeding relative to the Issuer, its creditors and its property,

and any trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official in any such Proceeding is hereby authorized by each of such Holders to make payments to the Indenture Trustee, and, in the event that the Indenture Trustee shall consent to the making of payments directly to such Holders, to pay to the Indenture Trustee such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Indenture Trustee, each predecessor Indenture Trustee and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee except as a result of negligence or bad faith.

(d)            Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Indenture Trustee to authorize or consent to or vote for or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Indenture Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding except, as aforesaid, to vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar Person.

(e)            All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds, may be enforced by the Indenture Trustee without the possession of any of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds or the production thereof in any trial or other Proceedings relative thereto, and any such action or proceedings instituted by the Indenture Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment, subject to the payment of the expenses, disbursements and compensation of the Indenture Trustee, each predecessor Indenture Trustee and their respective agents and attorneys, shall be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds.

(f)            In any Proceedings brought by the Indenture Trustee (and also any Proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the Indenture Trustee shall be a party), the Indenture Trustee shall be held to represent all the Holders of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds, and it shall not be necessary to make any Holder a party to any such Proceedings.

SECTION 5.04. Remedies; Priorities.

(a)            If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default under clause (vii) of Section 5.01(a)) shall have occurred and be continuing, the Indenture Trustee may do one or more of the following (subject to Section 5.05):

(i)

institute Proceedings in its own name and as trustee of an express trust for the collection of all amounts then payable on the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds or under this Indenture with respect thereto, whether by declaration of acceleration or otherwise, and, subject to the limitations on recovery set forth herein, enforce any judgment obtained, and collect from the Issuer or any other obligor moneys adjudged due upon the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds;

(ii)

institute Proceedings from time to time for the complete or partial foreclosure of this Indenture with respect to the Securitized Utility Tariff Bond Collateral;

(iii)

exercise any remedies of a secured party under the UCC, the Securitization Law or any other applicable law and take any other appropriate action to protect and enforce the rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds;

(iv)

at the written direction of the Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds, sell the Securitized Utility Tariff Bond Collateral or any portion thereof or rights or interest therein, at one or more public or private sales called and conducted in any manner permitted by law, or elect that the Issuer maintain possession of all or a portion of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bond Collateral pursuant to Section 5.05 and continue to apply the Securitized Utility Tariff Bond Charge Collection as if there had been no declaration of acceleration; and

(v)

exercise all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of the Issuer against the Seller, the Administrator, Ameren Missouri or the Servicer under or in connection with, and pursuant to the terms of, the Sale Agreement, the Administration Agreement, the Servicing Agreement or any Intercreditor Agreement;

provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee may not sell or otherwise liquidate any portion of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bond Collateral following such an Event of Default, other than an Event of Default described in Section 5.01(a)(i), or (ii), unless (1) the Holders of 100 percent of the Outstanding Amount of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds consent thereto, (2) the proceeds of such sale or liquidation distributable to the Holders are sufficient to discharge in full all amounts then due and unpaid upon the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds for principal, premium, if any, and interest after taking into account payment of all amounts due prior thereto pursuant to the priorities set forth in Section 8.02(e) or (3) the Indenture Trustee determines that the Securitized Utility Tariff Bond Collateral will not continue to provide sufficient funds for all payments on the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds as they would have become due if the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds had not been declared due and payable, and the Indenture Trustee obtains the written consent of Holders of 66-2/3 percent of the Outstanding Amount of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds. In determining such sufficiency or insufficiency with respect to clause (2) and (3), the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain and conclusively rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bond Collateral for such purpose.

(b)            If an Event of Default under clause (vii) of Section 5.01(a) shall have occurred and be continuing, the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall be entitled and empowered to the extent permitted by applicable law, to institute or participate in Proceedings necessary to compel performance of or to enforce the State Pledge and to collect any monetary damages incurred by the Holders or the Indenture Trustee as a result of any such Event of Default, and may prosecute any such Proceeding to final judgment or decree. Such remedy shall be the only remedy that the Indenture Trustee may exercise if the only Event of Default that has occurred and is continuing is an Event of Default under Section 5.01(a)(vii).

(c)            If the Indenture Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article V, it shall pay out such money in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 8.02(e).

SECTION 5.05. Optional Preservation of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bond Collateral.

If the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds have been declared to be due and payable under Section 5.02 following an Event of Default and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, elect to maintain possession of all or a portion of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bond Collateral. It is the desire of the parties hereto and the Holders that there be at all times sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds, and the Indenture Trustee shall take such desire into account when determining whether or not to maintain possession of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bond Collateral. In determining whether to maintain possession of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bond Collateral or sell or liquidate the same, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain and conclusively rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bond Collateral for such purpose.

SECTION 5.06. Limitation of Suits.

(a)            No Holder of any Securitized Utility Tariff Bond shall have any right to institute any Proceeding, judicial or otherwise, to avail itself of any remedies provided in the Securitization Law or to avail itself of the right to foreclose on the Securitized Utility Tariff Bond Collateral or otherwise enforce the Lien and the security interest on the Securitized Utility Tariff Bond Collateral with respect to this Indenture and the Series Supplement, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

(i)

such Holder previously has given written notice to the Indenture Trustee of a continuing Event of Default;

(ii)

the Holders of not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds have made written request to the Indenture Trustee to institute such Proceeding in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Indenture Trustee hereunder;

(iii)

such Holder or Holders have offered to the Indenture Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses, losses and liabilities which may be incurred in complying with such request;

(iv)

the Indenture Trustee for sixty (60) days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute such Proceedings; and

(v)

no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Indenture Trustee during such sixty-day period by the Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds;

it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided.

(b)            In the event the Indenture Trustee shall receive conflicting or inconsistent requests and indemnity from two or more groups of Holders, each representing less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds, the Indenture Trustee in its sole discretion may file a petition with a court of competent jurisdiction to resolve such conflict or determine what action, if any, shall be taken, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture.

SECTION 5.07. Unconditional Rights of Holders To Receive Principal, Premium, if any, and Interest.

Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture, the Holder of any Securitized Utility Tariff Bond shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, (a) to receive payment of (i) the interest, if any, on such Securitized Utility Tariff Bond on the due dates thereof expressed in such Securitized Utility Tariff Bond or in this Indenture or (ii) the unpaid principal, if any, of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds on the Final Maturity Date therefor and (b) to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

SECTION 5.08. Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

If the Indenture Trustee or any Holder has instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such Proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or has been determined adversely to the Indenture Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders shall, subject to any determination in such Proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such Proceeding had been instituted.

SECTION 5.09. Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Indenture Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

SECTION 5.10. Delay or Omission Not a Waiver.

No delay or omission of the Indenture Trustee or any Holder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Default or Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Default or Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article V or by law to the Indenture Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Indenture Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

SECTION 5.11. Control by Holders.

The Holders of not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds of an affected Tranche shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee with respect to the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds of such Tranche or Tranches or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Indenture Trustee with respect to such Tranche or Tranches; provided that:

(a)            such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture and shall not involve the Indenture Trustee in any personal liability or expense;

(b)            subject to other conditions specified in Section 5.04, any direction to the Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate any Securitized Utility Tariff Bond Collateral shall be by the Holders representing the applicable percentage of the Outstanding Amount of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds as provided in Section 5.04;

(c)            if the conditions set forth in Section 5.05 have been satisfied and the Indenture Trustee elects to retain the Securitized Utility Tariff Bond Collateral pursuant to Section 5.05, then any direction to the Indenture Trustee by Holders representing less than 100 percent of the Outstanding Amount of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds to sell or liquidate the Securitized Utility Tariff Bond Collateral shall be of no force and effect; and

(d)            the Indenture Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Indenture Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction;

provided, however, that, the Indenture Trustee’s duties shall be subject to Section 6.01, and the Indenture Trustee need not take any action that it determines might involve it in liability or might materially adversely affect the rights of any Holders not consenting to such action. Furthermore and without limiting the foregoing, the Indenture Trustee shall not be required to take any action for which it reasonably believes that it will not be indemnified to its satisfaction against any costs, expenses, losses or liabilities.

SECTION 5.12. Waiver of Past Defaults.

(a)            Prior to the declaration of the acceleration of the maturity of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds as provided in Section 5.02, the Holders representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds of an affected Tranche, may waive any past Default or Event of Default and its consequences except a Default (A) in payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds or (B) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Securitized Utility Tariff Bond of all Tranches affected. In the case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

(b)            Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist and be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

SECTION 5.13. Undertaking for Costs.

All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Securitized Utility Tariff Bond by such Holder’s acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Indenture Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section 5.13 shall not apply to (a) any suit instituted by the Indenture Trustee, (b) any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, in each case holding in the aggregate more than ten (10) percent of the Outstanding Amount of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds or (c) any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of (i) interest on any Securitized Utility Tariff Bond on or after the due dates expressed in such Securitized Utility Tariff Bond and in this Indenture or (ii) the unpaid principal, if any, of any Securitized Utility Tariff Bond on or after the Final Maturity Date therefor.

SECTION 5.14. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.

The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead or in any manner whatsoever, claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Indenture Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

SECTION 5.15. Action on Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds.

The Indenture Trustee’s right to seek and recover judgment on the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds or under this Indenture shall not be affected by the seeking, obtaining or application of any other relief under or with respect to this Indenture. Neither the Lien of this Indenture nor any rights or remedies of the Indenture Trustee or the Holders shall be impaired by the recovery of any judgment by the Indenture Trustee against the Issuer or by the levy of any execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bond Collateral or any other assets of the Issuer.

SECTION 5.16. Performance and Enforcement of Certain Obligations.

(a)            Promptly following a request from the Indenture Trustee to do so and at the Issuer’s expense, the Issuer agrees to take all such lawful action as the Indenture Trustee may request to compel or secure the performance and observance by the Seller and the Servicer, as applicable, of each of their obligations to the Issuer under or in connection with the Sale Agreement and the Servicing Agreement with respect to the Securitized Utility Tariff Property, respectively, in accordance with the terms thereof, and to exercise any and all rights, remedies, powers and privileges lawfully available to the Issuer under or in connection with the Sale Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, respectively, to the extent and in the manner directed by the Indenture Trustee, including the transmission of notices of default on the part of the Seller or the Servicer thereunder and the institution of legal or administrative actions or proceedings to compel or secure performance by the Seller or the Servicer of each of their obligations under the Sale Agreement and the Servicing Agreement with respect to the Securitized Utility Tariff Property, respectively.

(b)            If an Event of Default has occurred, the Indenture Trustee may, and, at the direction (which direction shall be in writing) of the Holders of sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66-2/3%) of the Outstanding Amount of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds shall, subject to Article VI, exercise all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of the Issuer against the Seller or the Servicer under or in connection with the Sale Agreement and the Servicing Agreement with respect to the Securitized Utility Tariff Property, respectively, including the right or power to take any action to compel or secure performance or observance by the Seller or the Servicer of each of their obligations to the Issuer thereunder and to give any consent, request, notice, direction, approval, extension or waiver under the Sale Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, respectively, and any right of the Issuer to take such action shall be suspended.

ARTICLE VI

The Indenture Trustee

SECTION 6.01. Duties of Indenture Trustee.

(a)            If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

(b)            Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:

(i)

the Indenture Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Indenture Trustee; and

(ii)

in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Indenture Trustee and conforming on their face to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).

(c)            The Indenture Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own bad faith, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that:

(i)

Notice of any such appointment shall be promptly given to each Rating Agency by the successor Indenture Trustee. The successor Indenture Trustee shall send a notice of its succession (or the succession of any other Eligible Institution) to Holders. The retiring Indenture Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Indenture Trustee to the successor Indenture Trustee.

Accounts, Disbursements and Releases

SECTION 8.01. Collection of Money.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Indenture Trustee may demand payment or delivery of, and shall receive and collect, directly and without intervention or assistance of any fiscal agent or other intermediary, all money and other property payable to or receivable by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Indenture and the other Basic Documents. The Indenture Trustee shall apply all such money received by it as provided in this Indenture. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Indenture, if any default occurs in the making of any payment or performance under any agreement or instrument that is part of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bond Collateral, the Indenture Trustee may take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, subject to Article VI, including the institution and prosecution of appropriate Proceedings. Any such action shall be without prejudice to any right to claim a Default or Event of Default under this Indenture and any right to proceed thereafter as provided in Article V.

SECTION 8.02. Collection Account.

(a)            Prior to the Closing Date, the Issuer shall open or cause to be opened with the Securities Intermediary located at the Indenture Trustee’s office located at the Corporate Trust Office, or at another Eligible Institution, one or more segregated trust accounts in the Indenture Trustee’s name for the deposit of Estimated Securitized Utility Tariff Charge Collections, Securitized Utility Tariff Charge Collections and all other amounts received with respect to the Securitized Utility Tariff Bond Collateral (the “Collection Account”). The Collection Account will consist of three subaccounts: a general subaccount (the “General Subaccount”), an excess funds subaccount (the “Excess Funds Subaccount”) and a capital subaccount (the “Capital Subaccount” and, together with the General Subaccount and the Excess Funds Subaccount, the “Subaccounts”). Each Subaccount shall have a separate subaccount (each, a “Cash Subaccount”) where cash allocated to the related Subaccount will be held. Only cash shall be allocated to a Cash Subaccount and no other Securitized Utility Tariff Bond Collateral shall be allocated to a Cash Subaccount. References to any Subaccount shall be deemed to include the related Cash Subaccount. For administrative purposes, the Subaccounts may be established by the Indenture Trustee as separate accounts. Such separate accounts will be recognized individually as a Subaccount and collectively as the “Collection Account”. Prior to or concurrently with the issuance of Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds, the Member shall deposit into the Capital Subaccount an amount equal to the Required Capital Level. All amounts in the Collection Account not allocated to any other subaccount shall be allocated to the General Subaccount. Any cash transferred to, or arising under, a Subaccount will be held in the related Cash Subaccount. Prior to the Initial Payment Date, all amounts in the Collection Account (other than funds deposited into the Capital Subaccount, up to the Required Capital Level and any Capital Subaccount Investment Earnings) shall be allocated to the General Subaccount. All references to the Collection Account shall be deemed to include reference to all subaccounts contained therein. Withdrawals from and deposits to each of the foregoing subaccounts of the Collection Account shall be made as set forth in Sections 8.02(d) and (e). The Collection Account shall at all times be maintained as an Eligible Account, under the sole dominion and exclusive control of the Indenture Trustee, through the Securities Intermediary, and only the Indenture Trustee shall have access to the Collection Account for the purpose of making deposits in and withdrawals from the Collection Account in accordance with this Indenture. Funds in the Collection Account shall not be commingled with any other moneys. All moneys deposited from time to time in the Collection Account, including amounts not required to pay costs of issuance of Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds transferred by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee, all deposits therein pursuant to this Indenture, and all investments made in Eligible Investments as directed in writing by the Issuer with such moneys, including all income or other gain from such investments other than Capital Subaccount Investment Earnings, shall be held by the Indenture Trustee in the Collection Account as part of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bond Collateral as herein provided. The Securities Intermediary shall have no liability in respect of losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of any Eligible Investment prior to its stated maturity or its date of redemption or the failure of the Issuer or the Servicer to provide timely written investment direction.

(b)            The Securities Intermediary hereby confirms that (i) the Collection Account (other than each Cash Subaccount) is, or at inception will be established as, a “securities account” as such term is defined in Section 8-501(a) of the UCC, (ii) it is a “securities intermediary” (as such term is defined in Section 8-102(a) (14) of the UCC) and is acting in such capacity with respect to such accounts, (iii) the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties is the sole “entitlement holder” (as such term is defined in Section 8-102(a)(7) of the UCC) with respect to such accounts and no other Person shall have the right to give “entitlement orders” (as such term is defined in Section 8-102(a)(8)) with respect to such Collection Account and (iv) the Securities Intermediary agrees to comply with “entitlement orders” originated by the Indenture Trustee with respect to the Collection Account without further consent of the Issuer or any other Person. The Securities Intermediary hereby further agrees that each item of property (whether investment property, financial asset, security, instrument or cash) received by it will be credited to the Collection Account (and that all cash will be credited to the related Cash Subaccount). Such property, other than cash, shall be treated by it as a Financial Asset. The Indenture Trustee shall cause the Securities Intermediary to hold any Securitized Utility Tariff Bond Collateral consisting of money in the applicable Cash Subaccount and the Securities Intermediary hereby confirms that each Cash Subaccount is a “deposit account” within the meaning of Section 9-102(a)(29) of the UCC. The Securities Intermediary further confirms that for purposes of perfecting the security interest in such deposit account, it shall (i) act as the “bank” within the meaning of Section 9-102(a)(8) of the UCC and (ii) comply with instructions originated by the Indenture Trustee directing disposition of the funds in the Cash Subaccount without further consent of the Issuer or any other Person. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, for purposes of the UCC, New York State shall be deemed to be “securities intermediary jurisdiction” within the meaning of Section 8-110(e) of the UCC of the Securities Intermediary and “bank’s jurisdiction” within the meaning of Section 9-304(a) of the UCC of the Securities Intermediary acting as the “bank” and the Collection Account (as well as the securities entitlements related thereto) shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York.

(c)            The Indenture Trustee shall have sole dominion and exclusive control over all moneys in the Collection Account through the Securities Intermediary and shall apply such amounts therein as provided in this Section 8.02. The Indenture Trustee shall also pay from the Collection Account any amounts requested in writing to be paid by or to the Servicer pursuant to Section 6.11(c) of the Servicing Agreement.

(d)            Securitized Utility Tariff Charge Collections shall be deposited in the General Subaccount as provided in Section 6.11 of the Servicing Agreement. All deposits to and withdrawals from the Collection Account, all allocations to the subaccounts of the Collection Account and any amounts to be paid to the Servicer under Section 8.02(c) shall be made by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with the written instructions provided by the Servicer in the Monthly Servicer’s Certificate, the Semi-Annual Servicer’s Certificate or upon other written notice provided by the Servicer pursuant to Section 6.11(a) of the Servicing Agreement, as applicable.

(e)            On each Payment Date (or on any other date as directed by the Servicer with respect to Ongoing Financing Costs referred to in clause (iv) below payable prior to the next Payment Date), the Indenture Trustee shall apply all amounts on deposit in the Collection Account, including all Investment Earnings thereon, to pay the following amounts, solely in accordance with the Semi-Annual Servicer’s Certificate, in the following priority:

(i)

all amounts owed by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee (including legal fees, expenses and outstanding indemnity amounts) shall be paid to the Indenture Trustee (subject to Section 6.07) in an amount not to exceed annually the amount set forth in the Series Supplement (the “Indenture Trustee Cap”); provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee Cap shall be disregarded and inapplicable upon the acceleration of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds following the occurrence of an Event of Default;

(ii)

the Servicing Fee with respect to such Payment Date and all unpaid Servicing Fees for prior Payment Dates shall be paid to the Servicer;

(iii)

the Administration Fee for such Payment Date shall be paid to the Administrator and the Independent Manager Fee for such Payment Date shall be paid to the Independent Managers;

(iv)

all other ordinary periodic Ongoing Financing Costs for such Payment Date relating to the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds not described above shall be paid to the parties to which such Ongoing Financing Costs are owed except for Income Taxes;

(v)

Periodic Interest for such Payment Date, including any overdue Periodic Interest (together with, to the extent lawful, interest on such overdue Periodic Interest at the applicable Securitized Utility Tariff Bond Interest Rate), with respect to the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds shall be paid to the Holders of Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds;

(vi)

principal due and payable on the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds as a result of an Event of Default or on the Final Maturity Date of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds shall be paid to the Holders of Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds;

(vii)

Periodic Principal for such Payment Date, including any overdue Periodic Principal or payments due upon maturity or acceleration, which shall be paid pro rata among the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds if there is a deficiency;

(viii)

any other unpaid fees, expenses and indemnity amounts owed to the Indenture Trustee;

(ix)

any other unpaid Ongoing Financing Costs, including Income Taxes, relating to the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds and any remaining amounts owed pursuant to the Basic Documents;

(x)

the amount, if any, by which the Required Capital Level exceeds the amount in the Capital Subaccount as of such Payment Date shall be allocated to the Capital Subaccount;

(xi)

provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, release to Ameren Missouri an amount representing a return on capital of its Capital Contribution calculated at an annual rate per annum equal to the Cost of Capital on the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds;

(xii)

the balance, if any, shall be allocated to the Excess Funds Subaccount for distribution on subsequent Payment Dates; and

(xiii)

after principal of and premium, if any, and interest on all the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds, and all of the other foregoing amounts, have been paid in full, including, without limitation, amounts due and payable to the Indenture Trustee under Section 6.07 or otherwise, the balance (including all amounts then held in the Capital Subaccount and the Excess Funds Subaccount), if any, shall be paid to Ameren Missouri, free from the Lien of this Indenture and the Series Supplement and credited to Customers through normal ratemaking processes.

(f)            All payments to the Holders of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds pursuant to clauses (v), (vi) and (vii) above shall be made to such Holders pro rata based on the respective amounts of interest and/or principal owed, unless, in the case of Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds comprised of two or more Tranches, the Series Supplement provides otherwise. If amounts in the Collection Account are not sufficient to pay amounts due pursuant to clause (v) on a Payment Date, such amounts will be allocated pro rata based on the amount of interest payable on such Payment Date. After giving effect to payments pursuant to clauses (i) through (v), if amounts in the Collection Account are not sufficient to pay amounts due pursuant to clauses (vi) and (vii) on a Payment Date, such amounts will be allocated pro rata based on the amount of principal payable or schedule to be paid on such Payment Date. In the case of an Event of Default, then, in accordance with Section 5.04(c), moneys will be applied pursuant to clauses (v) and (vi), in such order, on a pro rata basis, based upon the interest or the principal owed.

(g)            The amounts paid during any calendar year pursuant to clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (viii) may not exceed the amounts approved in the Series Supplement.

(h)            If on any Payment Date funds on deposit in the General Subaccount are insufficient to make the payments contemplated by clauses (i) through (ix) of Section 8.02(e) above, the Indenture Trustee shall (I) first, draw from amounts on deposit in the Excess Funds Subaccount and (II) second, draw from amounts on deposit in the Capital Subaccount, in each case, up to the amount of such shortfall in order to make the payments contemplated by clauses (i) through (ix) of Section 8.02(e). In addition, if on any Payment Date funds on deposit in the General Subaccount are insufficient to make the allocations contemplated by clause (x) above, the Indenture Trustee shall draw from amounts on deposit in the Excess Funds Subaccount to make such allocations.

SECTION 8.03. General Provisions Regarding the Collection Account.

(a)            So long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all or a portion of the funds in the Collection Account shall be invested in Eligible Investments and reinvested by the Indenture Trustee upon Issuer Order; provided, however, that (i) such Eligible Investments shall not mature or be redeemed later than the Business Day prior to the next Payment Date or Special Payment Date, if applicable, for the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds and (ii) such Eligible Investments shall not be sold, liquidated or otherwise disposed of at a loss prior to the maturity or the date of redemption thereof. All income or other gain from investments of moneys deposited in the Collection Account shall be deposited by the Indenture Trustee in such Collection Account, and any loss resulting from such investments shall be charged to such Collection Account. The Issuer will not direct the Indenture Trustee to make any investment of any funds or to sell any investment held in the Collection Account unless the security interest Granted and perfected in such account will continue to be perfected in such investment or the proceeds of such sale, in either case without any further action by any Person, and, in connection with any direction to the Indenture Trustee to make any such investment or sale, if requested by the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel of external counsel of the Issuer (at the Issuer’s cost and expense) to such effect. In no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for the selection of Eligible Investments or for investment losses incurred thereon. The Indenture Trustee shall have no liability in respect of losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of any Eligible Investment prior to its stated maturity or its date of redemption or the failure of the Issuer or the Servicer to provide timely written investment direction. The Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation to invest or reinvest any amounts held hereunder in the absence of written investment direction pursuant to an Issuer Order, in which case such amounts shall remain uninvested.

(b)            Subject to Section 6.01(c), the Indenture Trustee shall not in any way be held liable by reason of any insufficiency in the Collection Account resulting from any loss on any Eligible Investment included therein except for losses attributable to the Indenture Trustee’s failure to make payments on such Eligible Investments issued by the Indenture Trustee, in its commercial capacity as principal obligor and not as trustee, in accordance with their terms.

(c)            If (i) the Issuer shall have failed to give written investment directions for any funds on deposit in the Collection Account to the Indenture Trustee by 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time (or such other time as may be agreed by the Issuer and Indenture Trustee) on any Business Day; or (ii) a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds but the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds shall not have been declared due and payable pursuant to Section 5.02, then the Indenture Trustee shall, to the fullest extent practicable, invest and reinvest funds in such Collection Account in the money market fund (described under clause (d) of the definition of “Eligible Investments”) specified in the most recent written investment directions delivered by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee with respect to such type of Eligible Investments; provided that if the Issuer has never delivered written investment directions to the Indenture Trustee or if the money market fund specified in the most recent written investment directions no longer exists, the Indenture Trustee shall not invest or reinvest such funds in any investments.

(d)            The parties hereto acknowledge that the Servicer may, pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, select Eligible Investments on behalf of the Issuer.

SECTION 8.04. Release of Securitized Utility Tariff Bond Collateral.

(a)            So long as the Issuer is not in default hereunder and no Default hereunder would occur as a result of such action, the Issuer, through the Servicer, may collect, sell or otherwise dispose of written-off receivables, at any time and from time to time in the ordinary course of business, without any notice to, or release or consent by, the Indenture Trustee, but only as and to the extent permitted by the Basic Documents; provided, however, that any and all proceeds of such dispositions shall become Securitized Utility Tariff Bond Collateral and be deposited to the General Subaccount immediately upon receipt thereof by the Issuer or any other Person, including the Servicer. Without limiting the foregoing, the Servicer, may, at any time and from time to time without any notice to, or release or consent by, the Indenture Trustee, sell or otherwise dispose of any Securitized Utility Tariff Bond Collateral previously written-off as a defaulted or uncollectible account in accordance with the terms of the Servicing Agreement and the requirements of the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence.

(b)            The Indenture Trustee may, and when required by the provisions of this Indenture shall, execute instruments to release property from the Lien of this Indenture, or convey the Indenture Trustee’s interest in the same, in a manner and under circumstances that are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture. No party relying upon an instrument executed by the Indenture Trustee as provided in this Article VIII shall be bound to ascertain the Indenture Trustee’s authority, inquire into the satisfaction of any conditions precedent or see to the application of any moneys. The Indenture Trustee shall release property from the Lien of this Indenture pursuant to this Section 8.04(b) only upon receipt of an Issuer Request accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate, an Opinion of Counsel of external counsel of the Issuer (at the Issuer’s cost and expense) and (if required by the TIA) Independent Certificates in accordance with TIA §§ 314(c) and 314(d)(1) meeting the applicable requirements of Section 10.01.

(c)            The Indenture Trustee shall, at such time as there are no Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds Outstanding and all sums payable to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 6.07 or otherwise have been paid, release any remaining portion of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bond Collateral that secured the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds from the Lien of this Indenture, release to the Issuer or any other Person entitled thereto any funds or investments then on deposit in or credit to the Collection Account.

SECTION 8.05. Opinion of Counsel.

The Indenture Trustee shall receive at least seven (7) days’ notice when requested by the Issuer to take any action pursuant to Section 8.04, accompanied by copies of any instruments involved, and the Indenture Trustee shall also require, as a condition to such action, an Opinion of Counsel of external counsel of the Issuer, in form and substance satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee, stating the legal effect of any such action, outlining the steps required to complete the same, and concluding that all conditions precedent to the taking of such action have been complied with and such action will not materially and adversely impair the perfection or priority of the remaining security for the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds or the rights of the Holders in contravention of the provisions of this Indenture and the Series Supplement; provided, however, that such Opinion of Counsel shall not be required to express an opinion as to the fair value of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bond Collateral. Counsel rendering any such opinion may rely, without independent investigation, on the accuracy and validity of any certificate or other instrument delivered to the Indenture Trustee in connection with any such action.

SECTION 8.06. Reports by Independent Registered Public Accountants.

As of the Closing Date, the Issuer shall appoint a firm of Independent registered public accountants of recognized national reputation for purposes of preparing and delivering the reports or certificates of such accountants required by this Indenture and the Series Supplement. In the event such firm requires the Indenture Trustee to agree to the procedures performed by such firm, the Issuer shall direct the Indenture Trustee in writing to so agree; it being understood and agreed that the Indenture Trustee will deliver such letter of agreement in conclusive reliance upon the direction of the Issuer, and the Indenture Trustee makes no independent inquiry or investigation to, and shall have no obligation or liability in respect of, the sufficiency, validity or correctness of such procedures. Upon any resignation by, or termination by the Issuer of, such firm the Issuer shall provide written notice thereof to the Indenture Trustee and shall promptly appoint a successor thereto that shall also be a firm of Independent registered public accountants of recognized national reputation. If the Issuer shall fail to appoint a successor to a firm of Independent registered public accountants that has resigned or been terminated within fifteen (15) days after such resignation or termination, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer of such failure in writing. If the Issuer shall not have appointed a successor within ten (10) days thereafter the Indenture Trustee shall promptly appoint a successor firm of Independent registered public accountants of recognized national reputation; provided that the Indenture Trustee shall have no liability with respect to such appointment. The fees of such Independent registered public accountants and its successor shall be payable by the Issuer as an Ongoing Financing Cost.

(b)            Any certificate or opinion of a Responsible Officer of the Issuer may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his or her certificate or opinion is based are erroneous.

(b)            Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by any Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Indenture Trustee but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such a waiver.

(c)            In case, by reason of the suspension of regular mail service as a result of a strike, work stoppage or similar activity, it shall be impractical to mail notice of any event of Holders when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice.

(d)            Where this Indenture provides for notice to the Rating Agencies, failure to give such notice shall not affect any other rights or obligations created hereunder, and shall not under any circumstance constitute a Default or Event of Default.

SECTION 10.11. Benefits of Indenture.

Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, and the Holders, and any other party secured hereunder, and any other Person with an ownership interest in any part of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bond Collateral, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

SECTION 10.12. Legal Holidays.

In any case where the date on which any payment is due shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds or this Indenture) payment need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date on which nominally due, and no interest shall accrue for the period from and after any such nominal date.

SECTION 10.13. GOVERNING LAW; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the foregoing shall not be construed to prohibit (i) disclosure of any and all information that is or becomes publicly known, or information obtained by the Indenture Trustee from sources other than the Issuer, provided such parties are rightfully in possession of such information and are not subject to a duty of confidentiality, (ii) disclosure of any and all information (A) if required to do so by any applicable statute, law, rule or regulation, (B) pursuant to any subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar demand or request of any court or regulatory authority exercising its proper jurisdiction, (C) in any preliminary or final offering circular, registration statement or contract or other document pertaining to the transactions contemplated by this Indenture or the Basic Documents approved in advance by the Issuer or (D) to any affiliate, independent or internal auditor, agent, employee or attorney of the Indenture Trustee having a need to know the same, provided, that such parties agree to be bound by the confidentiality provisions contained in this Section 10.17, or (iii) any other disclosure authorized by the Issuer.

Principal and interest due and payable on this Securitized Utility Tariff Bond are payable from and secured primarily by Securitized Utility Tariff Property created and established by the Financing Order obtained from the Missouri Public Service Commission pursuant to the Securitization Law. Securitized Utility Tariff Property consists of the rights and interests of the Seller in the Financing Order, including the right to impose, bill, charge, collect and receive certain charges (defined in the Securitization Law as “securitized utility tariff charges” to be included in regular electric utility bills of existing and future electric service Consumers within the service territory of Ameren Missouri or its successors or assigns, as authorized under the Financing Order and to obtain periodic adjustments to such “securitized utility tariff charges rider” as provided in the Financing Order.

“The state and its agencies, including the [MoPSC], pledge and agree with [Holders], the owners of the [S]ecuritized [U]tility [T]ariff [P]roperty, and other financing parties that the state and its agencies will not take any action listed in [Section 393.1700.11 of the Securitization Law]. [Section 393.1700.11 of the Securitization Law] does not preclude limitation or alteration if full compensation is made by law for the full protection of the [S]ecuritized [U]tility [T]ariff [C]harges [R]ider collected pursuant to [the Financing Order] and of the [Holders] and any assignee or financing party entering into a contract with [Ameren Missouri]. The prohibited actions are as follows: (a) alter the provisions of [Section 393.1700.11 of the Securitization Law], which authorize the commission to create an irrevocable contract right or chose in action by the issuance of a financing order, to create the [S]ecuritized [U]tility [T]ariff [P]roperty, and make the [S]ecuritized [U]tility [T]ariff [C]harges [R]ider imposed by a financing order irrevocable, binding, or nonbypassable charges for all existing and future retail customers of the electrical corporation except its existing special contract customers; (b) take or permit any action that impairs or would impair the value of securitized utility tariff property or the security for the [S]ecuritized [U]tility [T]ariff [B]onds or revises the [S]ecuritized [U]tility [T]ariff [C]osts for which recovery is authorized; (c) in any way impair the rights and remedies of the [Holders], assignees, and other financing parties; (d) except for changes made pursuant to the [True-Up Adjustment] authorized under [the Securitization Law], reduce, alter, or impair [S]ecuritized [U]tility [T]ariff [C]harges [R]ider that are to be imposed, billed, charged, collected, and remitted for the benefit of the [Holders] any assignee, and any other financing parties until any and all principal, interest, premium, financing costs and other fees, expenses, or charges incurred, and any contracts to be performed, in connection with the [Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds] have been paid and performed in full.”

The Securitization Law further provides that: “Neither the state nor its political subdivisions are liable on any securitized utility tariff bonds, and the bonds are not a debt or a general obligation of the state or any of its political subdivisions, agencies, or instrumentalities, nor are they special obligations or indebtedness of the state or any agency or political subdivision. An issue of securitized utility tariff bonds does not, directly, indirectly, or contingently, obligate the state or any agency, political subdivision, or instrumentality of the state to levy any tax or make any appropriation for payment of the securitized utility tariff bonds, other than in their capacity as consumers of electricity.”

At least thirty (30) days prior to each Semi-Annual Adjustment Date the Servicer is required to: (A) for the upcoming Payment Period, update the data and assumptions underlying the calculation of the Securitized Utility Tariff Charges, including the electric sales forecast for all Customers for the forthcoming six months, the Periodic Principal, interest, estimated fees and all other Ongoing Financing Costs, the Weighted Average Days Sales Outstanding and estimated system-wide write-offs; (B) determine the Periodic Payment Requirement and Periodic Billing Requirement for the upcoming Payment Period based on such updated data and assumptions and adjusting for (i) Securitized Utility Tariff Charge Collections and excess funds held in the General Subaccount and Excess Funds Subaccount on the Calculation Cut-Off Date and (ii) Securitized Utility Tariff Charge Collections to be collected at the then-current Securitized Utility Tariff Charge rates after the Calculation Cut-Off Date; (C) determine the Securitized Utility Tariff Charges adjusted for line loss for each voltage class through the next succeeding Semi-Annual Adjustment Date based on such Periodic Billing Requirement and the terms of the Financing Order; (D) make all required notice and other submissions with the MoPSC to reflect the revised Securitized Utility Tariff Charges; and (E) take all reasonable actions and make all reasonable efforts to effect such Semi-Annual True-Up Adjustment and to enforce the provisions of the Securitization Law and the Financing Order. The Servicer shall implement the revised Securitized Utility Tariff Charges, if any, resulting from such Semi-Annual True-Up Adjustment on the Semi-Annual Adjustment Date.

(ii)           Interim True-Up Adjustments. If at any time the Servicer forecasts that Securitized Utility Tariff Charge Collections will be insufficient to meet the Periodic Payment Requirement during the current Payment Period, the Servicer is required to: (A) for the current Payment Period, update the data and assumptions underlying the calculation of the Securitized Utility Tariff Charges, including the electric sales forecast for all Customers for the forthcoming six months, Periodic Principal, interest and estimated fees and all other Ongoing Financing Costs; (B) determine the Periodic Payment Requirement and Periodic Billing Requirement for the Payment Period based on such updated data and assumptions and adjusting for (i) Securitized Utility Tariff Charge Collections and excess funds held in the General Subaccount and Excess Funds Subaccount on the Calculation Cut-Off Date and (ii) Securitized Utility Tariff Charge Collections to be collected at the then-current Securitized Utility Tariff Charge rates after the Calculation Cut-Off Date; and (C) based upon such updated data and requirements, project whether existing and projected Securitized Utility Tariff Charge Collections together with available fund balances in the Excess Funds Subaccount, will be sufficient (x) to make on a timely basis all scheduled payments of Periodic Principal and interest in respect of each Securitized Utility Tariff Bond during such Payment Period, (y) to pay Ongoing Financing Costs on a timely basis and (z) to replenish any draws upon the Capital Subaccount to maintain the Capital Subaccount at the Required Capital Level. If the Servicer determines that Securitized Utility Tariff Charges will not be sufficient for such purposes, the Servicer is required to, no later than thirty (30) days prior to the proposed effective date of the revised Securitized Utility Tariff Charges: (1) determine the Securitized Utility Tariff Charges adjusted for line loss for each voltage class through the proposed Adjustment Date based on such Periodic Billing Requirement and the terms of the Financing Order; (2) make all required notice and other submissions with the MoPSC to reflect the revised Securitized Utility Tariff Charges; and (3) take all reasonable actions and make all reasonable efforts to effect such Interim True-Up Adjustment and to enforce the provisions of the Securitization Law and the Financing Order.

(i)            Notification of True-Up Adjustments. Whenever the Servicer submits a true-up adjustment filing to the MoPSC, the Servicer shall send a copy of such submission or notice (together with a copy of all notices and documents which, in the Servicer’s reasonable judgment, are material to the adjustments effected by such filing) to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies concurrently therewith. If, for any reason any revised Securitized Utility Tariff Charges are not implemented and effective on the applicable date set forth herein, the Servicer shall notify the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and each Rating Agency by the end of the second Servicer Business Day after such applicable date.

(ii)           Semi-Annual Servicer’s Certificate. Not later than five (5) Servicer Business Days prior to each Payment Date or Special Payment Date, the Servicer shall deliver a written report substantially in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (the “Semi-Annual Servicer’s Certificate”) to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies which shall include all of the following information (to the extent applicable and including any other information so specified in the Series Supplement) as to the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds with respect to such Payment Date or Special Payment Date or the period since the previous Payment Date, as applicable:

(c)

the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds, before and after giving effect to any payments allocated to principal reported under clause (a) above;

(d)

the difference, if any, between the amount specified in clause (c) above and the Outstanding Amount specified in the Expected Amortization Schedule;

(e)

any other transfers and payments to be made on such Payment Date or Special Payment Date, including amounts paid to the Indenture Trustee and to the Servicer; and

(f)

the amounts on deposit in the Capital Subaccount and the Excess Funds Subaccount, after giving effect to the foregoing payments.

(iii)          Reports to Customers.

(a)

After each revised Securitized Utility Tariff Charge has gone into effect pursuant to a True-Up Adjustment, the Servicer shall, to the extent and in the manner and time frame required by applicable MoPSC Regulations, if any, cause to be prepared and delivered to Customers any required notices announcing such revised Securitized Utility Tariff Charges.

(b)

The Servicer shall comply with the requirements of the Financing Order with respect to the identification of Securitized Utility Tariff Charges on Bills. As provided in the Financing Order, Securitized Utility Tariff Charges shall be identified as a separate line item on Bills which include both the rate and the amount of the Securitized Utility Tariff Charge.

(iv)          Reconciliation Certificates. The Servicer shall provide to the Indenture Trustee within sixty (60) days of each Payment Date, a Reconciliation Certificate in the form of Exhibit D hereto, in accordance with Section 6.11(c) of this Agreement.

SECTION 4.02.         Limitation of Liability.

(a)            The Issuer and the Servicer expressly agree and acknowledge that:

(i)            In connection with any True-Up Adjustment, the Servicer is acting solely in its capacity as the servicing agent hereunder.

(ii)           Neither the Servicer nor the Issuer nor the Indenture Trustee is responsible in any manner for, and shall have no liability whatsoever as a result of, any action, decision, ruling or other determination made or not made, or any delay (other than any delay resulting from the Servicer’s failure to make any filings required by Section 4.01 in a timely and correct manner or any breach by the Servicer of its duties under this Agreement), by the MoPSC in any way related to the Securitized Utility Tariff Property or in connection with any True-Up Adjustment, the subject of any filings under Section 4.01, any proposed True-Up Adjustment, or the approval of any revised Securitized Utility Tariff Charges and the scheduled adjustments thereto.

(iii)          Except to the extent the Servicer is liable under Section 6.02, the Servicer shall have no liability whatsoever relating to the calculation of any revised Securitized Utility Tariff Charges and the scheduled adjustments thereto, including as a result of any inaccuracy of any of the assumptions made in such calculation regarding expected energy usage volume, the Weighted Average Days Sales Outstanding, or system-wide write-offs, so long as the Servicer has acted in good faith and has not acted in a grossly negligent manner in connection therewith, nor shall the Servicer have any liability whatsoever as a result of any Person, including the Bondholders, not receiving any payment, amount or return anticipated or expected or in respect of any Securitized Utility Tariff Bond generally, except only to the extent that the same is caused by the Servicer’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.

(b)            Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4.02 shall not relieve the Servicer of liability for any misrepresentation by the Servicer under Section 6.01 or for any breach by the Servicer of its other obligations under this Agreement.

SECTION 5.01.         Custody of Securitized Utility Tariff Property Records.

To assure uniform quality in servicing the Securitized Utility Tariff Property and to reduce administrative costs, the Issuer hereby revocably appoints the Servicer, and the Servicer hereby accepts such appointment, to act as the agent of the Issuer as custodian of any and all documents and records that the Servicer shall keep on file, in accordance with its customary procedures, relating to the Securitized Utility Tariff Property, including copies of the Financing Order, Issuance Advice Letter and true-up adjustment filings, relating thereto and all documents filed with the MoPSC in connection with any True-Up Adjustment and computational records relating thereto (collectively, the “Securitized Utility Tariff Property Records”), which are hereby constructively delivered to the Indenture Trustee, as pledgee of the Issuer with respect to all Securitized Utility Tariff Property.

SECTION 5.02.         Duties of Servicer as Custodian.

(a)            Safekeeping. The Servicer shall hold the Securitized Utility Tariff Property Records on behalf of the Issuer and maintain such accurate and complete accounts, records and computer systems pertaining to the Securitized Utility Tariff Property Records as shall enable the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, as applicable, to comply with this Agreement, the Sale Agreement and the Indenture. In performing its duties as custodian, the Servicer shall act with reasonable care, using that degree of care and diligence that the Servicer exercises with respect to comparable assets that the Servicer services for itself or, if applicable, for others. The Servicer shall promptly report to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies any failure on its part to hold the Securitized Utility Tariff Property Records and maintain its accounts, records and computer systems as herein provided and promptly take appropriate action to remedy any such failure. Nothing herein shall be deemed to require an initial review or any periodic review by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee of the Securitized Utility Tariff Property Records. The Servicer’s duties to hold the Securitized Utility Tariff Property Records set forth in this Section 5.02, to the extent the Securitized Utility Tariff Property Records have not been previously transferred to a successor Servicer pursuant to Article VII, shall terminate one year and one day after the earlier of the date on which (i) the Servicer is succeeded by a successor Servicer in accordance with Article VII and (ii) no Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds are Outstanding.

The Servicer shall make available for inspection, audit and copying to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee or their respective duly authorized representatives, attorneys or auditors the Securitized Utility Tariff Property Records at such times during normal business hours as the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee shall reasonably request and which do not unreasonably interfere with the Servicer’s normal operations. Nothing in this Section 5.02(b) shall affect the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law (including any MoPSC Regulation) prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Customers, and the failure of the Servicer to provide access to such information as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section 5.02(b).

(c)            Release of Documents. Upon instruction from the Indenture Trustee in accordance with the Indenture, the Servicer shall release any Securitized Utility Tariff Property Records to the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee’s agent or the Indenture Trustee’s designee, as the case may be, at such place or places as the Indenture Trustee may designate, as soon as practicable. Nothing in this Section 5.02(c) shall affect the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law (including any MoPSC Regulation) prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Customers, and the failure of the Servicer to provide access to such information as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section 5.02(c).

(d)            Defending Securitized Utility Tariff Property Against Claims. The Servicer agrees to take such legal or administrative actions, including defending against or instituting and pursuing legal actions and appearing or testifying at hearings or similar proceedings, as may be reasonably necessary (i) to attempt to block or overturn any attempts to cause a repeal, modification or supplement to the Securitization Law or the Financing Order or the rights of holders of Securitized Utility Tariff Property by legislative enactment, voter initiative, constitutional amendment or other means that would be materially adverse to Bondholders and (ii) to compel performance by the MoPSC or the State of Missouri of any of their obligations or duties under the Securitization Law, the Financing Order and any true-up adjustment. The costs of any such action shall be payable from Securitized Utility Tariff Charge Collections as an Operating Expense in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 8.02(d) of the Indenture. The Servicer shall have no obligations under this paragraph if it is not being reimbursed on a current basis for its costs and expenses in taking such actions, and shall not be required to advance its own funds to satisfy its obligations hereunder).

(e)            Seeking to Prevent Expansions of Exemptions. The Servicer agrees to take such legal or administrative actions, including defending against or instituting and pursuing legal actions and appearing or testifying at hearings or similar proceedings, as may be reasonably necessary to attempt to prevent the granting by the State of Missouri or the MoPSC, after the Closing Date, of any material exemptions from the obligation to pay Securitized Utility Tariff Charges that are not expressly provided for in the Securitization Law and that violate the State Pledge or any other obligations of the State of Missouri or the MoPSC under the Securitization Law or the Financing Order, including any failure of the MoPSC to require any municipal entity which acquires any portion of the service territory of Ameren Missouri to impose, collect and remit the Securitized Utility Tariff Charges. The Servicer shall have no obligations under this paragraph if it is not being reimbursed on a current basis for its costs and expenses in taking such actions, and shall not be required to advance its own funds to satisfy its obligations hereunder.

SECTION 5.03.         Custodian’s Indemnification.

The Servicer as custodian shall indemnify the Issuer, any Independent Manager and the Indenture Trustee (for itself and for the benefit of the Holders) and each of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents for, and defend and hold harmless each such Person from and against, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, payments and claims, and reasonable costs or expenses, of any kind whatsoever (collectively, “Indemnified Losses”) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against each such Person as the result of any grossly negligent act or omission in any way relating to the maintenance and custody by the Servicer, as custodian, of the Securitized Utility Tariff Property Records; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be liable for any portion of any such amount resulting from the willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence of the Issuer, any Independent Manager or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be.

Indemnification under this Section 5.03 shall survive resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee or any Independent Manager and shall include reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses of investigation and litigation (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses and reasonable fees, out-of-pocket expenses and costs incurred in connection with any action, claim or suit brought to enforce the Indenture Trustee’s right to indemnification).

SECTION 5.04.         Effective Period and Termination.

The Servicer’s appointment as custodian shall become effective as of the Closing Date and shall continue in full force and effect until terminated pursuant to this Section 5.04. If the Servicer shall resign as Servicer in accordance with Section 6.05 of this Agreement or if all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer shall have been terminated under Section 7.01, the appointment of the Servicer as custodian shall be terminated effective as of the date on which the termination or resignation of the Servicer is effective. Additionally, if not sooner terminated as provided above, the Servicer’s obligations as custodian shall terminate one year and one day after the date on which no Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds are Outstanding.

SECTION 6.02.         Indemnities of Servicer; Release of Claims.

(a)            The Servicer shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically undertaken by the Servicer under this Agreement.

(b)            The Servicer shall indemnify the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee (for itself and for the benefit of the Holders) and the Independent Manager and each of their respective trustees, officers, directors, employees and agents (each, an “Indemnified Person”), for, and defend and hold harmless each such Person from and against, any and all Indemnified Losses imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Person as a result of (i) the Servicer’s willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of, or reckless disregard of, its obligations and duties or observance of its covenants under this Agreement or (ii) the Servicer’s material breach of any of its representations or warranties that results in a Servicer Default under this Agreement, except to the extent of Indemnified Losses either resulting from the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of such Person seeking indemnification hereunder or resulting from a material breach of a representation or warranty made by such Person seeking indemnification hereunder in any of the Basic Documents that gives rise to the Servicer’s breach.

(c)            For purposes of Section 6.02(b), in the event of the termination of the rights and obligations of Ameren Missouri (or any successor thereto pursuant to Section 6.03) as Servicer pursuant to Section 7.01, or a resignation by such Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, such Servicer shall be deemed to be the Servicer pending appointment of a successor Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02.

(d)            Indemnification under this Section 6.02 shall survive any repeal of, modification of, or supplement to, or judicial invalidation of, the Securitization Law or the Financing Order and shall survive the resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee or any Independent Manager or the termination of this Agreement and shall include reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses of investigation and litigation (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses and the reasonable fees, out-of-pocket expenses and costs incurred in connection with any action, claim or suit brought to enforce the Indenture Trustee’s right to indemnification).

(e)            Except to the extent expressly provided in this Agreement or the other Basic Documents (including the Servicer’s claims with respect to the Servicing Fee, reimbursement for any Excess Remittance, reimbursement for costs incurred pursuant to Section 5.02(d) and the payment of the purchase price of Securitized Utility Tariff Property), the Servicer hereby releases and discharges the Issuer, any Independent Manager and the Indenture Trustee, and each of their respective officers, directors and agents (collectively, the “Released Parties”) from any and all actions, claims and demands whatsoever, whenever arising, which the Servicer, in its capacity as Servicer or otherwise, shall or may have against any such Person relating to the Securitized Utility Tariff Property or the Servicer’s activities with respect thereto other than any actions, claims and demands arising out of the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of the Released Parties.

(f)             Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person of notice (or, in the case of the Indenture Trustee, receipt of notice by a Responsible Officer only) of the commencement of any action, proceeding or investigation, such Indemnified Person shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Servicer under this Section 6.02, notify the Servicer in writing of the commencement thereof. Failure by an Indemnified Person to so notify the Servicer shall relieve the Servicer from the obligation to indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnified Person under this Section 6.02 only to the extent that the Servicer suffers actual prejudice as a result of such failure. With respect to any action, proceeding or investigation brought by a third party for which indemnification may be sought under this Section 6.02, the Servicer shall be entitled to conduct and control, at its expense and with counsel of its choosing that is reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, the defense of any such action, proceeding or investigation (in which case the Servicer shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by the Indemnified Person except as set forth below); provided that the Indemnified Person shall have the right to participate in such action, proceeding or investigation through counsel chosen by it and at its own expense. Notwithstanding the Servicer’s election to assume the defense of any action, proceeding or investigation, the Indemnified Person shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the Servicer shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the defendants in any such action include both the Indemnified Person and the Servicer and the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the Servicer, (ii) the Servicer shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action, (iii) the Servicer shall authorize the Indemnified Person to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Servicer or (iv) in the case of the Indenture Trustee, such action exposes the Indenture Trustee to a material risk of criminal liability or forfeiture or a Servicer Default has occurred and is continuing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not be obligated to pay for the fees, costs and expenses of more than one separate counsel for the Indemnified Persons other than one local counsel, if appropriate. The Servicer will not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought under this Section 6.02 (whether or not the Indemnified Person is an actual or potential party to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Person from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding.

SECTION 6.03.         Merger or Consolidation of, or Assumption of the Obligations of, Servicer.

Any Person (a) into which the Servicer may be merged or consolidated and that succeeds to all or substantially all of the electric transmission and distribution business of the Servicer, (b) that results from the division of the Servicer into two or more entities and succeeds to all or substantially all of the electric transmission and distribution business of the Servicer, (c) that may result from any merger or consolidation to which the Servicer shall be a party and succeeds to all or substantially all of the electric transmission and distribution business of the Servicer, or (d) that may otherwise succeed to all or substantially all of the electric transmission and distribution business of the Servicer, shall be the successor to the Servicer under this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) such successor must execute an agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of the Servicer hereunder, (ii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Servicer Default and no event that, after notice or lapse of time, or both, would become a Servicer Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (iii) the Servicer shall have delivered to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that such consolidation, merger or succession and such agreement of assumption complies with this Section 6.03 and that all conditions precedent provided for in this Agreement relating to such transaction have been complied with and (iv) prior written notice shall have been delivered to the Rating Agencies. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the execution of the foregoing agreement of assumption and compliance with clauses (i) and (ii) above shall be conditions to the consummation of the transactions referred to in clauses (a), (b), (c) and (d) above. If all the conditions to any such assumption are met, then the prior Servicer will automatically be released from all of its obligations under this Agreement, other than those that specifically survive a termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 6.04.         Limitation on Liability of Servicer and Others.

Neither the Servicer nor any of the directors or officers or employees or agents of the Servicer shall be liable to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer’s Managers, the Bondholders or any other Person, except as provided under this Agreement, for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action pursuant to this Agreement or for good faith errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Servicer or any such person against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties under this Agreement. The Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Servicer may rely in good faith on the advice of counsel or on any document of any kind, prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person, respecting any matters arising under this Agreement.

Except as provided in this Agreement, the Servicer shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that shall not be related to or incidental to its duties to service the Securitized Utility Tariff Property in accordance with this Agreement, and that in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that the Servicer may, in respect of any Proceeding, undertake any action that it is not specifically identified in this Agreement as a duty of the Servicer but that the Servicer reasonably determines is necessary or desirable in order to protect the rights and duties of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee under this Agreement and the interests of the Holders and Customers under this Agreement. The Servicer’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with any such proceeding shall be payable from Securitized Utility Tariff Charge Collections as an Operating Expense (and shall not be deemed to constitute a portion of the Servicing Fee) in accordance with the Indenture. The Servicer shall have no obligations under this paragraph if it is not being reimbursed on a current basis for its costs and expenses in taking such actions, and shall not be required to advance its own funds to satisfy its obligations hereunder.

SECTION 6.05.         Ameren Missouri Not to Resign as Servicer.

Subject to the provisions of Section 6.03, Ameren Missouri shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it as Servicer under this Agreement except upon either (a) a determination by Ameren Missouri that the performance of its duties under this Agreement shall no longer be permissible under applicable law or (b) satisfaction of the following: (i) the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied and (ii) the MoPSC shall have approved such resignation. Notice of any such determination permitting the resignation of Ameren Missouri pursuant to clause (a) shall be communicated to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies at the earliest practicable time (and, if such communication is not in writing, shall be confirmed in writing at the earliest practicable time) and any such determination shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, with a copy to the MoPSC, concurrently with or promptly after such notice. No such resignation shall become effective until a successor Servicer shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of Ameren Missouri in accordance with Section 7.02. No such resignation shall become effective until a successor Servicer shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of Ameren Missouri in accordance with Section 7.02.

SECTION 6.06.         Servicing Compensation.

(a)            In consideration for its services hereunder, until the Retirement of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds, the Servicer shall receive an annual fee (the “Servicing Fee”) in an amount equal to (i) 0.05% of the initial principal amount of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds for so long as Ameren Missouri or an Affiliate of Ameren Missouri is the Servicer or (ii) if Ameren Missouri or any of its Affiliates is not the Servicer, an amount agreed upon by the Successor Servicer and the Indenture Trustee acting at the direction of the Holders of a majority of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds, provided that such fee shall not exceed 0.60% of the initial principal amount of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds unless such higher rate is approved by the MoPSC and would not cause any of the then current credit ratings of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds to be suspended, withdrawn or downgraded. The Servicing Fee owing shall be calculated based on the initial principal amount of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds and shall be paid semi-annually with half of the Servicing Fee being paid on each Payment Date (provided that the first payment may be adjusted for a longer or shorter first Payment Period).

(b)            The Servicing Fee set forth in Section 6.06(a) shall be paid to the Servicer by the Indenture Trustee, on each Payment Date in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 8.02(e) of the Indenture, by wire transfer of immediately available funds from the Collection Account to an account designated by the Servicer. Any portion of the Servicing Fee not paid on any such date should be added to the Servicing Fee payable on the subsequent Payment Date. In no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for the payment of any Servicing Fee or other amounts specified in this Section 6.06; provided that this Section 6.06 does not relieve the Indenture Trustee of any duties it has to allocate funds for payment for such fees under Section 8.02 of the Indenture.

(c)            The foregoing Servicing Fees constitute a fair and reasonable price for the obligations to be performed by the Servicer. Such Servicing Fee shall be determined without regard to the income of the Issuer, shall not be deemed to constitute distributions to the recipient of any profit, loss or capital of the Issuer and shall be considered an Operating Expense of the Issuer subject to the limitations on such expenses set forth in the Financing Order.

SECTION 6.07.         Compliance with Applicable Law.

The Servicer covenants and agrees, in servicing the Securitized Utility Tariff Property, to comply in all material respects with all laws applicable to, and binding upon, the Servicer and relating to the Securitized Utility Tariff Property the noncompliance with which would have a material adverse effect on the value of the Securitized Utility Tariff Property; provided, however, that the foregoing is not intended to, and shall not, impose any liability on the Servicer for noncompliance with any Requirement of Law that the Servicer is contesting in good faith in accordance with its customary standards and procedures.

SECTION 6.08.         Access to Certain Records and Information Regarding Securitized Utility Tariff Property.

The Servicer shall provide to the Indenture Trustee access to the Securitized Utility Tariff Property Records as is reasonably required for the Indenture Trustee to perform its duties and obligations under the Indenture and the other Basic Documents, and shall provide access to such records to the Holders as required by applicable law. Access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the respective offices of the Servicer. Nothing in this Section 6.08 shall affect the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law (including any MoPSC Regulation) prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Customers, and the failure of the Servicer to provide access to such information as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section 6.08.

SECTION 6.09.         Appointments.

The Servicer may at any time appoint any Person to perform all or any portion of its obligations as Servicer hereunder; provided, however, that, unless such Person is an Affiliate of Ameren Missouri, the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied in connection therewith; provided further that the Servicer shall remain obligated and be liable under this Agreement for the servicing and administering of the Securitized Utility Tariff Property in accordance with the provisions hereof without diminution of such obligation and liability by virtue of the appointment of such Person and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Securitized Utility Tariff Property. The fees and expenses of any such Person shall be as agreed between the Servicer and such Person from time to time and none of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Holders or any other Person shall have any responsibility therefor or right or claim thereto. Any such appointment shall not constitute a Servicer resignation under Section 6.05.

SECTION 6.10.         No Servicer Advances.

The Servicer shall not make any advances of interest on or principal of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds.

SECTION 6.11.         Remittances.

(a)            On each Servicer Business Day, after the Billing Commencement Date, the Servicer shall remit to the General Subaccount of the Collection Account the total Estimated Securitized Utility Tariff Charge Collections estimated to have been received by the Servicer from or on behalf of Customers on such Servicer Business Day in respect of all previously billed Securitized Utility Tariff Charges (the “Daily Remittance”), which Daily Remittance shall be calculated according to the procedures set forth in Annex I and shall be remitted as soon as reasonably practicable but in no event later than the second Servicer Business Day after such payments are estimated to have been received. Prior to each remittance to the General Subaccount of the Collection Account pursuant to this Section 6.11, the Servicer shall provide written notice to the Indenture Trustee of each such remittance (including the exact dollar amount to be remitted). The Servicer shall also, promptly upon receipt, remit to the Collection Account any other proceeds of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bond Collateral which it may receive from time to time.

(b)            The Servicer agrees and acknowledges that it holds all Securitized Utility Tariff Charge Payments collected by it and any other proceeds for the Securitized Utility Tariff Bond Collateral received by it for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee and the Holders and that all such amounts will be remitted by the Servicer in accordance with this Section 6.11 without any surcharge, fee, offset, charge or other deduction except (i) as set forth in clause (c) below and (ii) for late fees permitted by Section 6.06. The Servicer further agrees not to make any claim to reduce its obligation to remit all Securitized Utility Tariff Charge Payments collected by it in accordance with this Agreement except (i) as set forth in clause (c) below and (ii) for late fees permitted by Section 6.06.

(c)            Not less often than semi-annually (except in the case of the first reconciliation after the first Payment Date, which may be longer than six months), the Servicer will compare Actual Securitized Utility Tariff Charge Collections to the Estimated Securitized Utility Tariff Charge Collections that have been remitted to the Indenture Trustee. Such reconciliation will be conducted within sixty (60) days of each Payment Date and reflected in a Reconciliation Certificate delivered to the Indenture Trustee in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D. The Servicer shall calculate the amount of any Remittance Shortfall or Excess Remittance for the immediately preceding Reconciliation Period, and (A) if a Remittance Shortfall exists, the Servicer shall make a supplemental remittance, to the General Subaccount of the Collection Account within ten (10) days, or (B) if an Excess Remittance exists, the Servicer will reduce the Daily Remittance(s) over the next month following the date of the Reconciliation Certificate to the Indenture Trustee. If there is a Remittance Shortfall, the amount which the Servicer remits to the General Subaccount of the Collection Account on the relevant date set forth above shall be increased by the amount of such Remittance Shortfall, such increase coming from the Servicer’s own funds.

(d)            The Servicer acknowledges and agrees that the Issuer is the owner of and has the legal right to all Securitized Utility Tariff Charges received by the Servicer, and that the daily and reconciliation calculations and remittances permitted by this Servicing Agreement, which are based upon estimates of the Securitized Utility Tariff Charges received by the Servicer, is made for convenience and cost effectiveness given the current billing system of the Servicer. The Servicer agrees that in the event any Servicer Default hereunder, the Servicer, upon demand of the Indenture Trustee (acting at the written direction of the Holders), will promptly, but not later than 60 days follow such request, provide to the Indenture Trustee a reconciliation of actual Securitized Utility Tariff Charges received by the Servicer and the Securitized Utility Tariff Charges remitted by the Servicer.

(e)            Unless otherwise directed to do so by the Issuer, the Servicer shall be responsible for selecting Eligible Investments in which the funds in each Collection Account shall be invested pursuant to Section 8.03 of the Indenture.

ARTICLE VII
DEFAULT

SECTION 7.01.         Servicer Default.

If any one or more of the following events (each, a “Servicer Default”) shall occur and be continuing:

(a)            any failure by the Servicer to remit to the Collection Account on behalf of the Issuer any required remittance that shall continue unremedied for a period of five (5) Business Days after written notice of such failure is received by the Servicer from the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee or after discovery of such failure by an officer of the Servicer; or

(b)            any failure on the part of the Servicer or, so long as the Servicer is Ameren Missouri or an Affiliate thereof, any failure on the part of Ameren Missouri, as the case may be, duly to observe or to perform in any material respect any covenants or agreements of the Servicer or Ameren Missouri, as the case may be, set forth in this Agreement (other than as provided in clause (a) of this Section 7.01) or any other Basic Document to which it is a party, which failure shall (i) materially and adversely affect the rights of the Holders and (ii) continue unremedied for a period of sixty (60) days after the date on which (A) written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer or Ameren Missouri, as the case may be, by the Issuer (with a copy to the Indenture Trustee) or to the Servicer or Ameren Missouri, as the case may be, by the Indenture Trustee (acting at the written direction of the Holders) or (B) such failure is discovered by an officer of the Servicer; or

(c)            any failure by the Servicer duly to perform its obligations under Section 4.01(b) of this Agreement in the time and manner set forth therein, which failure continues unremedied for a period of five (5) Business Days; or

(d)            any representation or warranty made by the Servicer in this Agreement or any Basic Document shall prove to have been incorrect in a material respect when made, which has a material adverse effect on the Holders and which material adverse effect continues unremedied for a period of sixty (60) days after the date on which written notice thereof, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been delivered to the Servicer (with a copy to the Indenture Trustee) by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee (acting at the written direction of the Holders) after such failure is discovered by an officer of the Servicer; or

(e)            an Insolvency Event occurs with respect to the Servicer or Ameren Missouri;

then, and in each and every case, so long as the Servicer Default shall not have been remedied, either the Indenture Trustee, or the Holders of Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds evidencing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds, by notice then given in writing to the Servicer (and to the Indenture Trustee if given by the Bondholders) (a “Termination Notice”) may terminate all the rights and obligations of the Servicer, subject to compliance with Section 7.02. In addition, upon a Servicer Default described in Section 7.01(a), each of the following shall be entitled to apply to the MoPSC for sequestration and payment of revenues arising with respect to the Securitized Utility Tariff Property: (i) the Holders of any Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds and any Indenture Trustee or representative thereof as beneficiaries of any statutory or other Lien permitted by the Securitization Law; (ii) the Issuer or its assignees; or (iii) pledgees or transferees, including transferees under Section 393.1700.5.(1)(c) of the Securitization Law, of the Securitized Utility Tariff Property. On or after the receipt by the Servicer of a Termination Notice, all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds, the Securitized Utility Tariff Property, the Securitized Utility Tariff Charges or otherwise, shall, without further action, pass to and be vested in such successor Servicer as may be appointed under Section 7.02; and, without limitation, the Indenture Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the predecessor Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such Termination Notice, whether to complete the transfer of the Securitized Utility Tariff Property Records and related documents, or otherwise. The predecessor Servicer shall cooperate with the successor Servicer, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the predecessor Servicer under this Agreement, including the transfer to the successor Servicer for administration by it of all Securitized Utility Tariff Property Records and all cash amounts that shall at the time be held by the predecessor Servicer for remittance, or shall thereafter be received by it with respect to the Securitized Utility Tariff Property or the Securitized Utility Tariff Charges. As soon as practicable after receipt by the Servicer of such Termination Notice, the Servicer shall deliver the Securitized Utility Tariff Property Records to the successor Servicer. In case a successor Servicer is appointed as a result of a Servicer Default, all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) incurred in connection with transferring the Securitized Utility Tariff Property Records to the successor Servicer and amending this Agreement to reflect such succession as Servicer pursuant to this Section 7.01 shall be paid by the predecessor Servicer upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses. Termination of Ameren Missouri as Servicer shall not terminate Ameren Missouri’s rights or obligations under the Sale Agreement (except rights thereunder deriving from its rights as the Servicer hereunder).

SECTION 7.02.         Appointment of Successor.

(a)            Upon the Servicer’s receipt of a Termination Notice pursuant to Section 7.01 or the Servicer’s resignation or removal in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the predecessor Servicer shall continue to perform its functions as Servicer under this Agreement, and shall be entitled to receive the requisite portion of the Servicing Fee, until a successor Servicer shall have assumed in writing the obligations of the Servicer hereunder as described below. In the event of the Servicer’s termination, removal or resignation hereunder, the Issuer shall appoint a successor Servicer with the Indenture Trustee’s prior written consent thereto (acting at the written direction and the consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, of the Holders of a majority of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds) and the written approval of the MoPSC, and the successor Servicer shall accept its appointment by a written assumption in form acceptable to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee. If within 30 days after the delivery of the Termination Notice, the Issuer shall not have obtained such a new Servicer, the Indenture Trustee may petition the MoPSC or a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Servicer under this Agreement. A Person shall qualify as a successor Servicer only if (i) such Person is permitted under MoPSC Regulations to perform the duties of the Servicer, (ii) the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied and (iii) such Person enters into a servicing agreement with the Issuer having substantially the same provisions as this Agreement. In no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for its or the Issuer’s appointment of a successor Servicer. The Indenture Trustee’s expenses incurred under this Section 7.02(a) shall be at the sole expense of the Issuer and payable from the Collection Account as provided in Section 8.02 of the Indenture.

(b)            Upon appointment, the successor Servicer shall be the successor in all respects to the predecessor Servicer and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities arising thereafter relating thereto placed on the predecessor Servicer and shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee and all the rights granted to the predecessor Servicer by the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

SECTION 7.03.         Waiver of Past Defaults.

The Holders of Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds evidencing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds may, on behalf of all Bondholders, direct the Indenture Trustee to waive in writing any default by the Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences, except a default in making any required remittances to the Indenture Trustee for deposit into the Collection Account in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Servicer Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereto.

SECTION 7.04.         Notice of Servicer Default.

The Servicer shall deliver to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the MoPSC and the Rating Agencies, promptly after having obtained knowledge thereof, but in no event later than five (5) Business Days thereafter, written notice of any event which with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would become a Servicer Default under Section 7.01.

ARTICLE VIII

For purposes of this paragraph (a), any amendment that increases the Servicing Fee payable to a successor Servicer shall not be treated as adversely affecting the interests of any Bondholder so long as the Servicing Fee is within the range approved in the Financing Order.

(b)            This Agreement may also be amended in writing from time to time by the Servicer and the Issuer with prior written notice given to the Rating Agencies and the prior written consent of the Indenture Trustee and the prior written consent of the Holders of Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds evidencing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds affected by any such amendment, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Bondholders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (i) increase or reduce in any manner the amount of, or accelerate or delay the timing of, Securitized Utility Tariff Charge Collections or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of the Outstanding Amount of Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds, the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the Holders of all the outstanding Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds.

Promptly after the execution of any such amendment and the requisite consents, the Issuer shall furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment to the Indenture Trustee and each of the Rating Agencies.

It shall not be necessary for the consent of Bondholders pursuant to this Section 8.01(b) to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or consent, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof.

(c)            Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive and conclusively rely upon an Opinion of Counsel of external counsel stating that such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement and that all conditions precedent have been satisfied and upon the Opinion of Counsel from external counsel referred to in Section 3.01(c)(i).

Nothing in this Section 8.02(b) shall affect the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law (including any MoPSC Regulation) prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Customers, and the failure of the Servicer to provide access to such information as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section 8.02(b).

The opinion of outside tax counsel described above may, if the Seller so chooses, be conditioned on the receipt by the Seller of one or more letter rulings from the Internal Revenue Service (unless the Internal Revenue Service has announced that it will not rule on the issues described in this paragraph) and in rendering such opinion outside tax counsel shall be entitled to rely on the rulings contained in such ruling letters and to rely on the representations made, and information supplied, to the Internal Revenue Service in connection with such letter rulings;

(b)            Title. It is the intention of the parties hereto that (other than for federal income tax purposes and, to the extent consistent with applicable state tax law, state income and franchise tax purposes) the transfers and assignments herein contemplated each constitute a sale and absolute transfer of the Securitized Utility Tariff Property from the Seller to the Issuer and that no interest in, or right or title to, the Securitized Utility Tariff Property shall be part of the Seller’s estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against the Seller under any bankruptcy law. No portion of the Securitized Utility Tariff Property has been sold, transferred, assigned or pledged or otherwise conveyed by the Seller to any Person other than the Issuer, and no security agreement, financing statement or equivalent security or lien instrument listing the Seller as debtor covering all or any part of the Securitized Utility Tariff Property is on file or of record in any jurisdiction, except such as may have been filed, recorded or made in favor of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee in connection with the Basic Documents. The Seller has not authorized the filing of and is not aware (after due inquiry) of any financing statement against it that includes a description of collateral including the Securitized Utility Tariff Property other than any financing statement filed, recorded or made in favor of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee in connection with the Basic Documents.

(c)            Transfer Filings. On the Closing Date, immediately upon the sale under this Agreement, the Securitized Utility Tariff Property transferred on the Closing Date shall be validly transferred and sold to the Issuer, the Issuer shall own all such Securitized Utility Tariff Property, free and clear of all Liens, except for the Lien arising under Section 393.1700.5.(2)(b) of the Securitization Law, the Financing Order and the Issuance Advice Letter, and all filings and action to be made or taken by the Seller (including filings with the Secretary of State of Missouri under the Securitization Law) necessary in any jurisdiction to give the Issuer a perfected ownership interest (subject to any Lien created by the Issuer or by the Securitization Law in favor of the Holder under the basic documents or the Securitization Law) in the Securitized Utility Tariff Property shall have been made.

(d)            Financing Order, Issuance Advice Letter and Tariff; Other Approvals. Under the laws of the State of Missouri (including the Securitization Law) and the United States in effect on the Closing Date: (i) the Financing Order and the Issuance Advice Letter pursuant to which the rights and the interests of the Seller in the Securitized Utility Tariff Property have been created, including the right to impose, bill, charge, collect and receive the Securitized Utility Tariff Charges and the interest in and to the Securitized Utility Tariff Property, has become final and non-appealable and is in full force and effect, and the Seller has validly and irrevocably consented to the terms of the Financing Order, (ii) as of the Closing Date, the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds are entitled to the protection provided under Section 393.1700.11 of the Securitization Law, (iii) the process by which the Financing Order was approved and the Financing Order, the Issuance Advice Letter and the Securitized Utility Tariff Charge Rider SUR comply with all applicable laws and regulations and the Seller has provided the certification to the MoPSC required by the Issuance Advice Letter, (iv) the Issuance Advice Letter and the Securitized Utility Tariff Charge Rider SUR have been provided to the MoPSC in accordance with the Financing Order, (v) no other approval, authorization, consent, order or other action of, or filing with any Governmental Authority is required on the part of the Seller in connection with the creation of the Securitized Utility Tariff Property, except those that have been obtained or made, and (vi) under the “contract clause” of the U.S. Constitution and the “contract clause” of the Missouri Constitution, Holders of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds could, absent a demonstration by the State of Missouri that such action is necessary to further a significant and legitimate public purpose, successfully challenge the constitutionality of any legislative action that impairs or reduces the value of the Securitized Utility Tariff Property or the Securitized Utility Tariff Charges so as to impair (a) the terms of the Indenture or the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds or (b) the rights and remedies of the bondholders determined by such court to limit, alter, impair or reduce the value of the Securitized Utility Tariff Property or the Securitized Utility Tariff Charges prior to the time that the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds are fully paid and discharged.

(e)            State Action. Under the Securitization Law, the State of Missouri and its agencies, including the MoPSC, have pledged for the benefit and protection of the bondholders, the owners of the Securitized Utility Tariff Property , other financing parties and the Issuer, that it will not alter the provisions of the Securitization Law, take or permit any action that would impair the value of the Securitized Utility Tariff Property transferred on such date, or, except as permitted by Section 393.1700.2(3)(c)e of the Securitization Law, reduce, alter or impair the Securitized Utility Tariff Charges relating to the Securitized Utility Tariff Property until any and all principal, interest, premium, financing costs and other fees, expenses, or charges incurred and contracts to be performed in connection with the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds relating to the Securitized Utility Tariff Property have been paid and performed in full.

(f)             Assumptions. On the Closing Date, based upon the information available to the Seller on such date, the assumptions used in calculating the Securitized Utility Tariff Charges are reasonable and are made in good faith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, that amounts actually collected arising from those Securitized Utility Tariff Charges will in fact be sufficient to meet the payment obligations on the related Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds or that the assumptions used in calculating such Securitized Utility Tariff Charges will in fact be realized.

(g)            Creation of Securitized Utility Tariff Property. Upon the filing of the Issuance Advice Letter with respect to the Securitized Utility Tariff Property pursuant to the Financing Order: (i) the related rights and interests of the Seller under the Financing Order, including the right to impose, bill, charge, collect and receive the Securitized Utility Tariff Charges established pursuant to the Financing Order, will become Securitized Utility Tariff Property, (ii) the Securitized Utility Tariff Property will constitute an existing present intangible property right vested in the Holders, (iii) the Securitized Utility Tariff Property will include the right, title and interest of the Seller to the Securitized Utility Tariff Charge Rider SUR imposing the Securitized Utility Tariff Charges, and the right to obtain periodic true-up adjustments of the Securitized Utility Tariff Charges and all revenues, collections, claims, rights to payments, payments, money or proceeds of or arising from the rights and interests specified in the Financing Order, (iv) the owner of the Securitized Utility Tariff Property will be legally entitled to bill Securitized Utility Tariff Charges and collect payments in respect of the Securitized Utility Tariff Charges in the aggregate amount sufficient to pay or fund, in accordance with the Indenture, the interest on and principal of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds, to pay the fees and expenses of servicing the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds, and to replenish the Capital Subaccount to the required capital level until the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds are paid in full, and (v) the Securitized Utility Tariff Property will not be subject to any Lien, except for the lien arising under Section 393.1700.5.(2)(b) of the Securitization Law, the Financing Order and the Issuance Advice Letter.

(h)            Nature of Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties set forth in this Section 3.08, insofar as they involve conclusions of law, are made not on the basis that the Seller purports to be a legal expert or to be rendering legal advice, but rather to reflect the parties’ good faith understanding of the legal basis on which the parties are entering into this Agreement and the other Basic Documents and the basis on which the Holders are purchasing the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds, and to reflect the parties’ agreement that, if such understanding turns out to be incorrect or inaccurate, the Seller will be obligated to indemnify the Issuer and its permitted assigns (to the extent required by and in accordance with Section 5.01), and that the Issuer and its permitted assigns will be entitled to enforce any rights and remedies under the Basic Documents, on account of such inaccuracy to the same extent as if the Seller had breached any other representations or warranties hereunder.

(i)             Taxes. Under existing law as of the Closing Date, Holders will not be responsible for, nor will payments to Holders be reduced by, any sales tax, gross receipts tax, general corporation tax, single business tax, personal property tax, privilege tax, franchise or license tax, or other tax imposed on the Seller or the Issuer as a result of the sale and assignment of the Securitized Utility Tariff Property by the Seller to the Issuer, the acquisition of the Securitized Utility Tariff Property by the Issuer or the issuance and sale by the Issuer of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds, other than withholding of taxes applicable to Securitized Utility Tariff Bond payments and any taxes imposed as a result of a failure of the Issuer or the Seller to properly withhold or remit taxes imposed with respect to payments on any Securitized Utility Tariff Bond.

(j)             Prospectus. As of the date hereof, the information describing the Seller under the caption “The Depositor, Seller, Initial Servicer and Sponsor” in the prospectus dated [Pricing Date], 2024 relating to the Bonds is true and correct in all material respects.

(k)            Survival of Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties set forth in this Section 3.08 shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and may not be waived by any party hereto except pursuant to a written agreement executed in accordance with Article VI and as to which the Rating Agency Condition has been satisfied.

SECTION 3.09.         Change in Law.

The representations and warranties in this Agreement speak as of the Closing Date. Any change in the law by legislative enactment, constitutional amendment or voter initiative that renders untrue any of the representations or warranties in this Agreement will not constitute a breach under this Agreement.

SECTION 3.10.         Limitations on Representations and Warranties.

Without prejudice to any of the other rights of the parties, the Seller will not be in breach of any representation or warranty, as a result of a change in law by means of any legislative enactment, constitutional amendment or voter initiative. THE SELLER MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, THAT BILLED SECURITIZED UTILITY TARIFF COLLECTIONS WILL BE ACTUALLY COLLECTED FROM CONSUMERS.

ARTICLE IV

(h)           undertake such other administrative services as may be appropriate, necessary or requested by the Issuer; and

(i)            provide such other services as are incidental to the foregoing or as the Issuer and the Administrator may agree.

In providing the services under this Section 1 and as otherwise provided under this Administration Agreement, the Administrator will not knowingly take any actions on behalf of the Issuer which (i) the Issuer is prohibited from taking under the Related Agreements, or (ii) would cause the Issuer to be in violation of any federal, state or local law or the LLC Agreement.

In performing its duties hereunder, the Administrator shall use the same degree of care and diligence that the Administrator exercises with respect to performing such duties for its own account and, if applicable, for others.

SECTION 2.      Compensation. As compensation for the performance of the Administrator’s obligations under this Administration Agreement (including the compensation of Persons serving as Manager(s), other than the Independent Manager(s), and officers of the Issuer, but, for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the performance by Ameren Missouri of its obligations in its capacity as Servicer), the Administrator shall be entitled to $50,000 annually (the “Administration Fee”), payable by the Issuer in installments of $25,000 on each Payment Date, provided that the first payment may be adjusted for a longer or shorter first Payment Period. In addition, the Administrator shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the Issuer for all costs and expenses of services performed by unaffiliated third parties and actually incurred by the Administrator in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Administration Agreement in accordance with Section 3 (but, for the avoidance of doubt, excluding any such costs and expenses incurred by Ameren Missouri in its capacity as Servicer), to the extent that such costs and expenses are supported by invoices or other customary documentation and are reasonably allocated to the Issuer (“Reimbursable Expenses”).

SECTION 3.      Third Party Services. Any services required for or contemplated by the performance of the above-referenced services by the Administrator to be provided by unaffiliated third parties (including independent auditors' fees and counsel fees) may, if provided for or otherwise contemplated by the Financing Order and if the Issuer deems it necessary or desirable, be arranged by the Issuer or by the Administrator at the direction (which may be general or specific) of the Issuer. Costs and expenses associated with the contracting for such third-party professional services may be paid directly by the Issuer or paid by the Administrator and reimbursed by the Issuer in accordance with Section 2, or otherwise as the Administrator and the Issuer may mutually arrange.

SECTION 4.      Additional Information to be Furnished to the Issuer. The Administrator shall furnish to the Issuer from time to time such additional information regarding the Securitized Utility Tariff Bond Collateral as the Issuer shall reasonably request.

SECTION 5.      Independence of the Administrator. For all purposes of this Administration Agreement, the Administrator shall be an independent contractor and shall not be subject to the supervision of the Issuer with respect to the manner in which it accomplishes the performance of its obligations hereunder. Unless expressly authorized by the Issuer, the Administrator shall have no authority, and shall not hold itself out as having the authority, to act for or represent the Issuer in any way and shall not otherwise be deemed an agent of the Issuer.

Nothing contained in this Administration Agreement (a) shall constitute the Administrator and the Issuer as partners or co-members of any partnership, joint venture, association, syndicate, unincorporated business or other separate entity, (b) shall be construed to impose any liability as such on either of them or (c) shall be deemed to confer on either of them any express, implied or apparent authority to incur any obligation or liability on behalf of the other.

SECTION 7.      Other Activities of Administrator. Nothing herein shall prevent the Administrator or any of its members, managers, officers, employees, subsidiaries or affiliates from engaging in other businesses or, in its sole discretion, from acting in a similar capacity as an Administrator for any other person or entity even though such person or entity may engage in business activities similar to those of the Issuer.

SECTION 8.      Term of Agreement; Resignation and Removal of Administrator.

(a)            This Administration Agreement shall continue in force until the payment in full of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds and any other amount which may become due and payable under the Indenture, upon which event this Administration Agreement shall automatically terminate.

(b)           The Administrator may resign on not less than 30 days’ written notice to the Issuer. The Administrator may be removed by written notice from the Issuer to the Administrator. Such resignation or removal shall not take effect until a successor has been appointed by the Issuer and has accepted the duties of Administrator.

(c)            The appointment of any successor Administrator shall be effective only after satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition with respect to the proposed appointment.

SECTION 9.      Action upon Termination, Resignation or Removal. Promptly upon the effective date of termination of this Administration Agreement pursuant to Section 8(a) or the resignation of the Administrator or the removal of the Administrator pursuant to Section 8, the Administrator shall be entitled to be paid a pro-rated portion of the annual fee described in Section 2 hereof through the date of termination and all Reimbursable Expenses incurred by it through the date of such termination, resignation or removal. The Administrator shall forthwith upon such termination pursuant to Section 8(a) deliver to the Issuer all property and documents of or relating to the Securitized Utility Tariff Bond Collateral then in the custody of the Administrator. In the event of the resignation of the Administrator or the removal of the Administrator pursuant to Section 8, the Administrator shall cooperate with the Issuer and take all reasonable steps requested to assist the Issuer in making an orderly transfer of the duties of the Administrator.

SECTION 10.    Administrator’s Liability. The Administrator shall render the services called for hereunder in good faith, taking into consideration the best interests of the Company.

SECTION 17.    Severability.

SECTION 18.    Nonpetition Covenant. Notwithstanding any prior termination of this Administration Agreement, the Administrator covenants that it shall not, prior to the date which is one year and one day after payment in full of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds, acquiesce, petition or otherwise invoke or cause the Issuer to invoke the process of any court or government authority for the purpose of commencing or sustaining an involuntary case against the Issuer under any U.S. federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of the Issuer or any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Issuer.
