KCP&L is a wholly owned subsidiary of Great Plains Energy and represents a significant portion of its assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and operations. Thus, all information contained in this report relates to, and is furnished by, Great Plains Energy. Information that is specifically identified in this report as relating solely to Great Plains Energy, such as its financial statements and all information relating to Great Plains Energy’s other operations, businesses and subsidiaries, including KCP&L Greater Missouri Operations Company, formerly Aquila, Inc. (“GMO”), does not relate to, and is not furnished by, KCP&L. KCP&L makes no representation as to that information. Neither Great Plains Energy nor GMO has any obligation in respect of KCP&L’s debt securities and holders of such securities should not consider Great Plains Energy’s or GMO’s financial resources or results of operations in making a decision with respect to KCP&L’s debt securities. Similarly, KCP&L has no obligation in respect of securities of Great Plains Energy or GMO.
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On March 24, 2009, KCP&L issued $400 million principal amount of its 7.15% Mortgage Bonds, Series 2009A due 2019 (the “2019 Bonds”). See Item 2.03 below for a description of the 2019 Bonds and related agreements.
Item 2.03   Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant
On March 24, 2009, KCP&L issued $400 million principal amount of its 7.15% Mortgage Bonds, Series 2009A due 2019 (the “2019 Bonds”). The 2019 Bonds were issued pursuant to and secured by the General Mortgage Indenture and Deed of Trust, dated as of December 1, 1986 (the “Indenture”) between KCP&L and UMB Bank, N.A. (formerly United Missouri Bank of Kansas City, N.A.), as trustee, as previously amended and supplemented and as further amended and supplemented by the twelfth supplemental indenture thereto, dated as of March 1, 2009 (the “Twelfth Supplemental Indenture”). KCP&L will use the net proceeds from the sale of the 2019 Bonds to repay a portion of KCP&L’s outstanding commercial paper and for general corporate purposes. Pending that use, KCP&L may invest the net proceeds in short-term marketable securities. The 2019 Bonds were registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to KCP&L’s registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-148136), which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 2, 2008.
The 2019 Bonds carry an interest rate of 7.15% per annum, which is payable semi-annually on April 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing October 1, 2009. The 2019 Bonds are redeemable at any time at KCP&L’s option at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the 2019 Bonds to be redeemed, plus accrued interest to the redemption date, and (ii) the present value of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the 2019 Bonds to be redeemed discounted to the redemption date at the applicable treasury rate, plus 50 basis points, plus, in each case, accrued interest to the redemption date. For more information regarding the terms of the 2019 Bonds, please see the Indenture and the Twelfth Supplemental Indenture (which includes a form of the 2019 Bonds), copies of which are filed as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2, respectively, to this Report.
In connection with the issuance of the 2019 Bonds, Mark English, Assistant General Counsel and Assistant Secretary of KCP&L, provided the legal opinion attached to this Report as Exhibit 5.1.

A copy of the Underwriting Agreement dated March 19, 2009 among KCP&L and Banc of America Securities LLC, BNP Paribas Securities Corp. and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., as representatives of the several underwriters named therein, is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Report. Affiliates of certain of the underwriters are lenders under revolving credit agreements entered into separately with Great Plains Energy and KCP&L in May 2006. In connection with each of these arrangements, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., an affiliate of J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., acted as syndication agent, Banc of America Securities LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. acted as joint-lead arrangers, Bank of America, N.A., an affiliate of Banc of America Securities LLC, acted as a lender and administrative agent, each of BNP Paribas Securities Corp., The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Chicago Branch, an affiliate of Mitsubishi UFJ Securities (USA), Inc. and Wachovia Bank, N.A., an affiliate of Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC, acted as a lender and co-documentation agent and The Bank of New York, an affiliate of BNY Mellon Capital Markets, LLC, acted as a lender. As well, affiliates of Mitsubishi UFJ Securities (USA), Inc. are parties to a receivables sale agreement entered into with KCP&L and its subsidiary Kansas City Power & Light Receivables Company in July 2005. In connection with this arrangement, Victory Receivables Corporation is the purchaser and The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, Ltd., New York branch, is the agent. In addition, affiliates of certain of the underwriters are lenders under a credit agreement entered into with GMO in September 2008. In connection with this arrangement, Banc of America Securities LLC acted as a joint lead arranger and joint book manager, Bank of America, N.A., an affiliate of Banc of America Securities LLC, acted as a lender and administrative agent, Union Bank, N.A. (formerly Union Bank of California, N.A.), an affiliate of Mitsubishi UFJ Securities (USA), Inc., acted as a lender and syndication agent, each of BNP Paribas and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., an affiliate of J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., acted as a lender and co-documentation agent, and each of The Bank of New York Mellon, an affiliate of BNY Mellon Capital Markets, LLC and Wachovia Bank, N.A., an affiliate of Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC, acted as a lender.

(formerly Union Bank of California, N.A.) acted as agent and lender. The underwriters and their affiliates have provided and in the future may continue to provide investment banking, commercial banking and other financial services, including the provision of credit facilities, to KCP&L and its affiliates in the ordinary course of business for which they have received and may in the future receive customary compensation. Affiliates of certain of the underwriters participate in the commercial paper program of KCP&L and may from time to time hold KCP&L’s commercial paper. As a result, more than 10% of the net offering proceeds may be paid to underwriters or affiliates and, accordingly, the offering was made in reliance upon Rule 5110(h) of the Conduct Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. The trustee and its affiliates are the trustee under certain indentures with Great Plains Energy and KCP&L. KCP&L maintains general banking accounts with the trustee and the trustee is one of the lenders under the Great Plains Energy, KCP&L and GMO credit agreements.
On March 24, 2009, KCP&L issued $50 million of its Mortgage Bond Series 2005 EIRR Insurer due 2035 (the “2005 Insurer Bonds”) to Syncora Guarantee Inc. (formerly XL Capital Assurance, Inc.) (“Syncora”). The 2005 Insurer Bonds were issued pursuant to and secured by the Indenture, as previously amended and supplemented and as further amended and supplemented by the thirteenth supplemental indenture thereto, dated as of March 1, 2009 (the “Thirteenth Supplemental Indenture”). KCP&L is the obligor with respect to $50.0 million aggregate principal amount of City of Burlington, Kansas, Environmental Improvement Revenue Refunding (EIRR) Bonds Series 2005 (the “2005 EIRR Bonds”), which are insured by a municipal bond insurance policy issued by Syncora. The insurance agreement between KCP&L and Syncora requires KCP&L to provide Syncora with $50.0 million of mortgage bonds as collateral for KCP&L’s obligations under the insurance agreement if KCP&L issues mortgage bonds (other than refundings of outstanding mortgage bonds) in excess of certain thresholds. As a consequence of the issuance of the 2019 Bonds, KCP&L concurrently issued the 2005 Insurer Bonds

to Syncora. The 2005 Insurer Bonds bear interest at the same rate as the 2005 EIRR Bonds, and the obligation of KCP&L to make any payment on the 2005 Insurer Bonds shall be deemed to be satisfied to the extent KCP&L makes payments on the 2005 EIRR Bonds. The 2005 Insurer Bonds are subject to redemption at the same times and in the same amounts as the 2005 EIRR Bonds. For more information regarding the terms of the 2005 Insurer Bonds, please see the Indenture and the Thirteenth Supplemental Indenture (which includes a form of the 2005 Insurer Bonds), copies of which are filed as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.3, respectively, to this Report.

The 2007 Insurer Bonds bear interest at the same rate as the 2007 EIRR Bonds, and the obligation of KCP&L to make any payment on the 2007 Insurer Bonds shall be deemed to be satisfied to the extent KCP&L makes payments on the 2007 EIRR Bonds.

Certain terms of the Mortgage Bonds will be established pursuant to the twelfth supplemental indenture dated as of March 1, 2009 (the “Twelfth Supplemental Indenture” and together with

     The Company has prepared and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-148136), to be used in connection with the public offering and sale of debt securities, including the Mortgage Bonds, of the Company.

The term “Prospectus” shall mean the final prospectus supplement relating to the Mortgage Bonds, together with the Base Prospectus, that is first filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) after the date and time that this Agreement is executed (the “Execution Time”) and delivered by the parties hereto. Any reference herein to the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents that are or are deemed to be incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities Act prior to 3:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on March 19, 2009 (the “Initial Sale Time”). All references in this Agreement to the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, or any amendments or supplements to any of the foregoing, shall include any copy thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System (“EDGAR”).
     All references in this Agreement to financial statements and schedules and other information which is “contained,” “included” or “stated” (or other references of like import) in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Preliminary Prospectus shall be deemed to mean and include all such financial statements and schedules and other information which is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Preliminary Prospectus, as the case may be, prior to the Initial Sale Time; and all references in this Agreement to amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Preliminary Prospectus shall be deemed to include the filing of any document under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, the “Exchange Act”), which is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Preliminary Prospectus, as the case may be, after the Initial Sale Time.
The Company hereby confirms its agreements with the Underwriters as follows:

The Registration Statement has become effective under the Securities Act and no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued under the Securities Act and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or are pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, are contemplated or threatened by the Commission, and any request on the part of the Commission for additional information has been complied with. In addition, the Mortgage Indenture has been duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Trust Indenture Act”).
     At the respective times the Registration Statement and any post-effective amendments thereto became effective and at each Representation Date, the Registration Statement and any amendments thereto (i) complied and will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Trust Indenture Act, and (ii) did not and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. Neither the Prospectus nor any amendments or supplements thereto, at the time the Prospectus or any such amendment or supplement was issued and at the Closing Date, included or will include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or will omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the representations and warranties in this subsection shall not apply to (i) that part of the Registration Statement which constitutes the Statement of Eligibility on Form T-1 of the Trustee under the Trust Indenture Act or (ii) statements in or omissions from the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment or the Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company in writing by any of the Underwriters through the Representatives expressly for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the information described as such in Section 6(b) hereof.
     Each Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus, at the time each was filed with the Commission, complied in all material respects with the Securities Act, and each Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus delivered to the Underwriters for use in connection with the offering of the Mortgage Bonds will, at the time of such delivery, be identical to any electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.
     (b) Disclosure Package. The term “Disclosure Package” shall mean (i) the Preliminary Prospectus dated March 19, 2009 (ii) each issuer free writing prospectus as defined in Rule 433 of the Securities Act, if any, identified in Annex I hereto (each, an “Issuer Free Writing Prospectus”) and (iii) any other free writing prospectus that the parties hereto shall hereafter expressly agree in writing to treat as part of the Disclosure Package.

     (d) Not an Ineligible Issuer. (i) At the earliest time after the filing of the Registration Statement that the Company or another offering participant makes a bona fide offer (within the meaning of Rule 164(h)(2) of the Securities Act) of the Mortgage Bonds and (ii) as of the Execution Time (with such date being used as the determination date for purposes of this clause (ii)), the Company was not or is not an Ineligible Issuer (as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act), without taking account of any determination by the Commission pursuant to Rule 405 of the Securities Act that it is not necessary that the Company be considered an Ineligible Issuer.

Each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, as of its issue date and at all subsequent times through the completion of the public offering and sale of Mortgage Bonds or until any earlier date that the Company notified or notifies the Representatives as described in the next sentence, did not, does not and will not include any information that conflicted, conflicts or will conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus. If at any time following issuance of an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus there occurred or occurs an event or development as a result of which such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus conflicted or would conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, the Company has promptly notified or will promptly notify the Representatives and has promptly amended or supplemented or will promptly amend or supplement, at its own expense, such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to eliminate or correct such conflict. The foregoing two sentences do not apply to statements in or omissions from any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus based upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the information described as such in Section 6(b) hereof.

     (j) Additional Documents. On or before the Closing Date, the Representatives and counsel for the Underwriters shall have received such information, documents and opinions as they may reasonably require for the purposes of enabling them to pass upon the issuance and sale of the Mortgage Bonds as contemplated herein, or in order to evidence the accuracy of any of the representations and warranties, or the satisfaction of any of the conditions or agreements, herein contained.

     Section 6. Indemnification.
     (a) Indemnification of the Underwriters. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its directors, officers, employees and agents, and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense, as incurred, to which such Underwriter, director, officer, employee, agent or controlling person may become subject, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arises out of or is based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement thereto, including any information deemed to be a part thereof pursuant to Rule 430B under the Securities Act, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included in any Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements

18


 

therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and to reimburse each Underwriter, its officers, directors, employees, agents and controlling persons for any and all expenses (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by the Representatives) as such expenses are reasonably incurred by such Underwriter, officer, director, employee, agent or controlling person in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense to the extent, but only to the extent, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto). The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 6(a) shall be in addition to any liabilities that the Company may otherwise have.
     (b) Indemnification of the Company, its Directors and Officers. Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, its officers who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense, as incurred, to which the Company, or any such director, officer or controlling person may become subject, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arises out of or is based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, and only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, such Preliminary Prospectus, such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use therein; and to reimburse the Company, such director, officer or controlling person for any and all expenses (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by the Company) as such expenses are reasonably incurred by the Company, such director, officer or controlling person in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action. The Company hereby acknowledges that the only information that the Underwriters have furnished to the Company expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) are the statements set forth in the third paragraph, the third sentence of the sixth paragraph and the seventh paragraph under the caption “Underwriting” in the Prospectus. The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 6(b) shall be in addition to any liabilities that each Underwriter may otherwise have.

19


 

     (c) Notifications and Other Indemnification Procedures. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 6, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure to so notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any liability other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and such indemnified party seeks or intends to seek indemnity from an indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it shall elect, jointly with all other indemnifying parties similarly notified, by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, such indemnified party shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party, unless: (i) the employment of such counsel has been specifically authorized by the indemnifying party; (ii) the indemnifying party has failed promptly to assume the defense and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; or (iii) the named parties to any such action (including any impleaded parties) include both such indemnified party and the indemnifying party or any affiliate of the indemnifying party, and such indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that either (x) there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party or such affiliate of the indemnifying party or (y) a conflict may exist between such indemnified party and the indemnifying party or such affiliate of the indemnifying party (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to a single firm of local counsel) for all such indemnified parties, which firm shall be designated in writing by (i) the Representatives, in the case of indemnification pursuant to Section 6(a) hereof, or (ii) the Company, in the case of indemnification pursuant to Section 6(b) hereof, and that all such reasonable fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred).
     (d) Settlements. The indemnifying party under this Section 6 shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there is a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by Section 6(c) hereof, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least 30 days prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the

20


 

indemnified party, effect any settlement, compromise or consent to the entry of judgment in any pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity was or could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such action, suit or proceeding and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party.
     Section 7. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 6 hereof is for any reason unavailable to or otherwise insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount paid or payable by such indemnified party, as incurred, as a result of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, from the offering of the Mortgage Bonds pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the offering of the Mortgage Bonds pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Mortgage Bonds pursuant to this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company, and the total underwriting discount received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth on the front cover page of the Prospectus bear to the aggregate initial public offering price of the Mortgage Bonds as set forth on such cover. The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, on the one hand, or the Underwriters, on the other hand, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
     The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6(c) hereof, any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim. The provisions set forth in Section 6(c) hereof with respect to notice of commencement of any action shall apply if a claim for contribution is to be made under this Section 7; provided, however, that no additional notice shall be required with respect to any action for which notice has been given under Section 6(c) hereof for purposes of indemnification.
     The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 7.

21


 

     Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the underwriting discount received by such Underwriter in connection with the Mortgage Bonds underwritten by it and distributed to the public. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 7 are several, and not joint, in proportion to their respective underwriting commitments as set forth opposite their names in Schedule A. For purposes of this Section 7, each director, officer, employee and agent of an Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company.
     Section 8. Default of One or More of the Several Underwriters. If, on the Closing Date, any one or more of the several Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Mortgage Bonds that it or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, and the aggregate principal amount of Mortgage Bonds, which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase does not exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Mortgage Bonds, to be purchased on such date, the other Underwriters shall be obligated, severally, in the proportion to the aggregate principal amounts of such Mortgage Bonds set forth opposite their respective names on Schedule A bears to the aggregate principal amount of such Mortgage Bonds set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Underwriters, or in such other proportions as may be specified by the Representatives with the consent of the non-defaulting Underwriters, to purchase such Mortgage Bonds which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date. If, on the Closing Date, any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase such Mortgage Bonds and the aggregate principal amount of such Mortgage Bonds with respect to which such default occurs exceeds 10% of the aggregate principal amount of Mortgage Bonds to be purchased on such date, and arrangements satisfactory to the Representatives and the Company for the purchase of such Mortgage Bonds are not made within 48 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Section 4, Section 6, Section 7 and Section 15 hereof shall at all times be effective and shall survive such termination. In any such case, either the Representatives or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date, but in no event for longer than seven days in order that the required changes, if any, to the Registration Statement, each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, each Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus or any other documents or arrangements may be effected.
     As used in this Agreement, the term “Underwriter” shall be deemed to include any person substituted for a defaulting Underwriter under this Section 8. Any action taken under this Section 8 shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.
     Section 9. Termination of this Agreement. Prior to the Closing Date, this Agreement may be terminated by the Representatives by notice given to the Company if at any time (i)

22


 

trading or quotation in any of the Company’s securities shall have been suspended or materially limited by the New York Stock Exchange or the Commission, or trading in securities generally on the NASDAQ Global Market or the New York Stock Exchange shall have been suspended or materially limited, or minimum or maximum prices shall have been generally established on either of such stock exchanges by the Commission or FINRA; (ii) a general banking moratorium shall have been declared by any of federal or New York authorities; (iii) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of national or international hostilities or any crisis or calamity, or any material adverse change in the United States or international financial markets, or any change or development involving a prospective substantial change in United States’ or international political, financial or economic conditions, as in the judgment of the Representatives makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Mortgage Bonds in the manner and on the terms described in the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus or to enforce contracts for the sale of securities; (iv) in the reasonable judgment of the Representatives, there shall have occurred any Material Adverse Change; or (v) there shall have occurred a material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States. Any termination pursuant to this Section 9 shall be without liability on the part of (a) the Company to any Underwriter, except that the Company shall be obligated to reimburse the expenses of the Representatives and the Underwriters pursuant to Section 4 hereof, (b) any Underwriter to the Company, or (c) any party hereto to any other party except that the provisions of Section 6, Section 7 and Section 15 hereof shall at all times be effective and shall survive such termination.
     Section 10. No Fiduciary Duty. No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. The Company acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the purchase and sale of the Mortgage Bonds pursuant to this Agreement, including the determination of the public offering price of the Mortgage Bonds and any related discounts and commissions, is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company, on the one hand, and the several Underwriters, on the other hand; (ii) in connection with the offering contemplated hereby and the process leading to such transaction each Underwriter is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the financial advisor, agent or fiduciary of the Company or its affiliates, stockholders, creditors or employees or any other party; (iii) no Underwriter has assumed or will assume an advisory, agency or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company with respect to the offering contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Underwriter has advised or is currently advising the Company on other matters) and no Underwriter has any obligation to the Company with respect to the offering contemplated hereby except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement; (iv) the several Underwriters and their respective affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Company; and (v) the Underwriters have not provided any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to the offering contemplated hereby and the Company has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate.
     The Company hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that the Company may have against the several Underwriters with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty.
     Section 11. Representations and Indemnities to Survive Delivery. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company, of its

23


 

officers and of the several Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement (i) will remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of (A) any investigation, or statement as to the results thereof, made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, the officers or employees of any Underwriter, or any person controlling the Underwriter, or the Company, the officers or employees of the Company, or any person controlling the Company, as the case may be or (B) acceptance of the Mortgage Bonds and payment for them hereunder and (ii) will survive delivery of and payment for the Mortgage Bonds sold hereunder and any termination of this Agreement.

     In rendering the opinions expressed below, we have examined the registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-148136) pertaining to the Mortgage Bonds and certain other securities filed by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), including the Annual Report on Form 10-K of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 and the Current Reports on Form 8-K of the Company dated February 10, 2009 (as to Item 8.01), March 6, 2009 and March 18, 2009 (as to Item 8.01) (such reports, collectively, the “Incorporated Documents”), each as filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and incorporated by reference in the registration statement (the “Registration Statement”); the Company’s prospectus dated March 5, 2008 (the “Base Prospectus”) as supplemented by a preliminary prospectus supplement dated March 19, 2009 (collectively, the “Preliminary Prospectus”), filed by the Company pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Act, which, pursuant to Form S-3, incorporates by reference the Incorporated Documents, and a prospectus supplement dated March ___, 2009 (together with the Base Prospectus, the “Prospectus”), filed by the Company pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the rules and regulations of the Commission under the Act, which, pursuant to Form S-3, incorporates by reference the Incorporated Documents; and the Mortgage Indenture. We have also examined the free writing prospectus prepared by the Company and filed with the Commission on March 19, 2009 pursuant to Rule 433 of the Act (the “Final Term Sheet”).
     We have assumed that the agreements and instruments referred to in this opinion have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the parties thereto. In addition, we have examined, and have relied as to matters of fact upon, the documents delivered to you at the closing (except the certificate representing the Mortgage Bonds, of which we have examined a specimen), and we have made such other and further investigations as we deemed necessary to express the opinions hereinafter set forth. As to various questions of fact relevant to the opinions set forth below, we have relied upon certificates of public officials and officers of the Company, representations of the Company in the Underwriting Agreement and other oral and written assurances by the officers or other employees of the Company. In such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents.
     In rendering the opinion set forth in numbered paragraph 8 below, we have relied as to all factual matters exclusively on a certificate, dated the date of this letter, of Terry Bassham, Executive Vice President—Finance and Strategic Development and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, and assumed that the certifications contained therein will be true and correct as of the time of the application of the proceeds of the Mortgage Bonds.
     Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications and limitations stated herein, we are of the opinion that:
     1. The Registration Statement has become effective under the Act; each of the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus has been filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) in accordance with Rule 424(b); the Final Term Sheet has been filed pursuant to Rule 433 in accordance with Rule 433; and, to our knowledge, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration

A-1-2


 

Statement is in effect nor are any proceedings for such purpose pending before or threatened by the Commission.
     2. The Registration Statement (other than the financial statements, financial data, statistical data and supporting schedules included therein or omitted therefrom and other than the documents incorporated by reference therein, as to none of which we express any opinion pursuant to this paragraph 2), as of the date of the Underwriting Agreement, and the Preliminary Prospectus (other than the financial statements, financial data, statistical data and supporting schedules included therein or omitted therefrom and other than the documents incorporated by reference therein, as to none of which we express any opinion pursuant to this paragraph 2), at the Initial Sale Time, and the Prospectus (other than the financial statements, financial data, statistical data and supporting schedules included therein or omitted therefrom and other than the documents incorporated by reference therein, as to none of which we express any opinion pursuant to this paragraph 2), as of the date of the Prospectus Supplement and as of the date hereof, appear on their face to have complied as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”), the Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder.
     3. The documents incorporated by reference in the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus (other than the financial statements, financial data, statistical data and supporting schedules included therein or omitted therefrom, as to which we express no opinion), at the respective times such documents were filed with the Commission, appear on their face to have complied as to form in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder.
     4. The Mortgage Indenture has been duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act.
     5. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Underwriting Agreement, the Mortgage Indenture and the Mortgage Bonds and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated thereby (including the issuance and sale of the Mortgage Bonds and the use of the proceeds from the sale of the Mortgage Bonds as described in the Disclosure Package and in the Prospectus under the caption “Use of Proceeds”) and compliance by the Company with its obligations under the Underwriting Agreement, the Mortgage Indenture and the Mortgage Bonds do not and will not violate any current provision of New York law that in our experience and without independent investigation, is normally applicable to transactions of the type contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement and the Mortgage Indenture (provided no opinion is expressed with respect to state securities or blue sky laws).
     6. No consent, approval, authorization or order of, or registration or filing with, any court or other governmental or regulatory authority or agency is required under Applicable Laws for the execution and delivery by the Company of, or the performance of the Company’s obligations under, the Underwriting Agreement or the Mortgage Indenture, or for the issue and sale of the Mortgage Bonds. As used in this paragraph 7, the term “Applicable Laws” means the laws of the State of New York and the federal laws of the United States of America that, in our experience and without independent investigation, are normally applicable to transactions of the type contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement and the Mortgage Indenture (provided that

A-1-3


 

the term “Applicable Laws” shall not include federal or state securities or blue sky laws, including, without limitation, the Act, the Exchange Act, the Trust Indenture Act and the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), and respective rules and regulations thereunder).
     7. The statements set forth in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus under the headings “Description of General Mortgage Bonds,” and “Description of the Mortgage Bonds” (insofar as such statements purport to summarize certain provisions of the Mortgage Bonds and the Mortgage Indenture) constitute, in all material respects, accurate summaries of the matters therein described.
     8. The Company is not, and after receipt of payment for the Mortgage Bonds and application of the proceeds therefrom as described in the Prospectus, will not be, required to register as an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act.
We have not independently verified the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements made or included in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package, the Prospectus or the Incorporated Documents and take no responsibility therefor, except as and to the extent set forth in paragraph 8 above. We have not generally participated in the preparation of the Incorporated Documents; however, we have reviewed such documents. In the course of the preparation by the Company of the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, we participated in conferences with certain officers and employees of the Company, with representatives of the Company’s independent registered public accountants, with representatives of the Underwriters and with counsel to the Underwriters. Based upon our examination of the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package, the Prospectus and the Incorporated Documents, our investigations made in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus and our participation in the conferences referred to above, our review of the records and documents as described above and our understanding of the U.S. federal securities laws, nothing came to our attention which gives us reason to believe (i) that any part of the Registration Statement, as of the date of the Underwriting Agreement, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) that the Disclosure Package, as of the Initial Sale Time, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or (iii) that the Prospectus contained, as of the date of the Underwriting Agreement, or contains, on the date hereof, any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted, as of the date of the Underwriting Agreement, or omits, on the date hereof, to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except that in each case we express no opinion or belief with respect to the financial statements, financial data, statistical data and supporting schedules included or incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein or omitted therefrom.
We are members of the State Bar of New York and we do not express any opinion herein concerning any law other than the law of the State of New York and the federal law of the United States. We do not pass upon matters relating to the lien of the Mortgage Indenture on property now owned or hereafter acquired by the Company, the recordation or filing of the

Mortgage Indenture or related financing statements or the title of the Company to its properties. As to such matters, there is being furnished to you the above-mentioned opinions of Mark English, Esq.
This opinion is rendered solely to you in connection with the above matter. This opinion may not be relied upon by you for any other purpose or relied upon by or furnished to any other person without our prior written consent.

  Re:   Kansas City Power & Light Company
 
      7.15% Mortgage Bonds, Series 2009A due 2019
Ladies and Gentlemen:
          I am Assistant General Counsel and Assistant Secretary of Kansas City Power & Light Company (the “Company”). I address this letter to you individually and as the representatives of the several Underwriters (the “Underwriters”) named in Schedule A to the Underwriting Agreement dated March 19, 2009 (the “Underwriting Agreement”) between you, as representatives of the Underwriters, and the Company, with respect to the issuance and sale pursuant thereto of $400,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 7.15% Mortgage Bonds, Series 2009A due 2019 (the “Mortgage Bonds”). The Mortgage Bonds are being issued under and secured by the General Mortgage and Deed of Trust, dated as of December 1, 1986 between the Company and UMB Bank, N.A. (formerly United Missouri Bank of Kansas City, N.A.), as trustee (the “Trustee”), as amended and supplemented by eleven indentures supplemental thereto (such General Mortgage and Deed of Trust, as heretofore amended and supplemented, the “Base Mortgage Indenture”) and as amended and supplemented by a twelfth

A-2-1


 

supplemental indenture thereto, dated as of March 1, 2009 between the Company and the Trustee (the “Twelfth Supplemental Indenture”, together with the Base Mortgage Indenture, the “Mortgage Indenture”).
     As Assistant General Counsel and Assistant Secretary to the Company, I am generally acquainted with the corporate organization, history and proceedings of the Company and the circumstances surrounding the issuance of its securities from time to time, the various legislative enactments, records, documents and regulatory actions relating thereto, the Company’s bylaws, its franchises, permits, licenses, certificates, and powers and authorities under which it carries on its businesses, the nature and state of its interest in its properties and its titles and rights with respect thereto. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein are defined as set forth in the Underwriting Agreement.
     I am familiar with the various actions, transactions and proceedings incident to the issuance of the Mortgage Bonds and the offering and sale thereof under the Underwriting Agreement. I have examined, among other things: the Underwriting Agreement, the Mortgage Indenture, a specimen of the Mortgage Bonds, the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.
     Pursuant to Section 5f(ii) of the Underwriting Agreement, this will advise you that in the opinion of the undersigned:
     (a) The Company is a validly organized and existing corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Missouri and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to do business in the State of Kansas with corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct its business as set forth in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus and to enter into and perform its obligations under the Underwriting Agreement.
     (b) The Underwriting Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company.
     (c) The Mortgage Indenture is in due and proper form, has been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action, has been duly and validly executed and delivered, and is a valid instrument legally binding on the Company enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other laws affecting enforcement of mortgagees’ or other creditors’ rights generally and by the effect of general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law); provided, however, that certain remedial provisions of the Mortgage Indenture may not be enforceable, but such unenforceability will not render the Mortgage Indenture invalid as a whole or affect the judicial enforcement of (i) the obligation of the Company to repay the principal, together with the interest thereon, as provided in the Mortgage Bonds, (ii) the acceleration of the obligation of the Company to repay such principal, together with such interest, based upon a material default by the Company in the payment of such principal or interest or (iii) the right of the Trustee to exercise its right to foreclose under the Mortgage Indenture.
     (d) The Mortgage Bonds are in due and proper form; the issue and sale of the

A-2-2


 

Mortgage Bonds by the Company in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement have been duly and validly approved by the necessary corporate action of the Company; the Mortgage Bonds have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and, when authenticated by the Trustee in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Indenture and delivered against payment therefore pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their terms, secured by the lien of and entitled to the benefits provided by the Mortgage Indenture , except as enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other laws affecting enforcement of mortgagees’ or other creditors’ rights generally and by the effect of general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).
     (e) Except as to property acquired subsequent to the execution and delivery of the Twelfth Supplemental Indenture, the Company has good and sufficient title to, or a satisfactory easement in, the Mortgaged Property, as such term is defined in the Mortgage Indenture (except such property as may have been disposed of and/or released from the lien of the Mortgage Indenture in accordance with the terms thereof), subject only to (i) the lien of the Mortgage Indenture, (ii) exceptions and reservations specifically set forth therein, (iii) “Permissible Encumbrances” as therein defined, (iv) leases and minor liens of judgments not prior to the lien of the Mortgage Indenture, which, in my opinion, do not interfere with the Company’s business, (v) defects, irregularities and deficiencies in titles of properties and rights-of-way which, in my opinion, do not materially impair the use of such property and rights-of-way for the purposes for which they are held by the Company and (vi) matters specified in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus under “Description of Bonds—Security and Priority”; the description in the Mortgage Indenture of said property is adequate to constitute the mortgage lien thereon; the Mortgage Indenture, subject only to the qualifications set forth in this paragraph (e) and to such other matters as do not materially affect the security for the Mortgage Bonds, constitutes a valid, direct first mortgage lien on the Mortgaged Property, which includes substantially all of the fixed property of the Company, and the franchises and permits of the Company pertaining to the operation of said property; all property (to the extent such property constitutes Mortgaged Property) acquired by the Company after the execution and delivery of the Twelfth Supplemental Indenture will, upon such acquisition, become subject to the lien of the Mortgage Indenture to the extent provided therein, subject, however, to “Permissible Encumbrances,” to liens, if any, existing or placed thereon at the time of the acquisition thereof by the Company and to any rights or equities of others attaching under applicable local law in the absence of notice of the lien of the Mortgage Indenture by filing, recordation or otherwise.
     (f) The Mortgage Indenture has been duly filed for recordation and otherwise filed, indexed or cross-indexed in such manner and in such places as is required by law in order to give constructive notice of, establish, preserve and protect the lien of the Mortgage Indenture on the Mortgaged Property, and all taxes payable to any state or subdivision thereof in connection with the execution, delivery or recordation of the Mortgage Indenture or the execution, authentication, issuance and delivery of the Mortgage Bonds and outstanding mortgage bonds have been paid.
     (g) Each Subsidiary has been duly organized or formed and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, has the corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct its business

A-2-3


 

as described in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required, whether by reason of the ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of business, except where the failure so to qualify or to be in good standing would not result in a Material Adverse Change; except as otherwise disclosed in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock owned directly or indirectly by the Company of each Subsidiary have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and non-assessable and, to the best of my knowledge, such shares of capital stock owned by the Company, are owned by the Company, directly or through subsidiaries, free and clear of any security interest, mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance or claim; and none of the outstanding shares of capital stock of any Subsidiary was issued in violation of preemptive or similar rights of any securityholder of such Subsidiary.
     (h) The order of the Missouri Public Service Commission authorizing the issuance of the Mortgage Bonds by the Company and the sale of the Mortgage Bonds as contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement has been duly entered and is still in force and effect, and no further approval, authorization, consent, certificate or order of any state or federal commission or regulatory authority is necessary with respect to the foregoing transactions (other than as may be required under securities or blue sky laws of the various states, as to which I express no opinion).
     (i) The Company holds, to the extent required, valid and subsisting franchises, licenses and permits authorizing it to carry on the regulated utility businesses in which it is engaged, in the territories from which substantially all of the Company’s consolidated gross operating revenue is derived, except where the failure to hold such franchises, licenses and permits would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.
     (j) To the best of my knowledge, there are no legal or governmental proceedings pending or threatened which are required to be disclosed in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, other than those disclosed therein, and all pending legal or governmental proceedings to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or of which any of their property is the subject which are not described in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, including ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business of the Company, are, considered in the aggregate, not material to the consolidated financial condition of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole.
     (k) To the best of my knowledge, the Company is not in violation of its Restated Articles of Consolidation, as amended, or in default in the performance or observance of any material obligation, agreement, covenant or condition contained in any material Agreement or Instrument.
     (l) The execution, delivery and performance of the Underwriting Agreement, the Mortgage Indenture and the Mortgage Bonds and the consummation of the transactions contemplated therein (including the issuance and sale of the Mortgage Bonds and the use of the proceeds received by the Company from the sale of the Mortgage Bonds as described in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus under the caption “Use of Proceeds”) and compliance by the Company with its obligations under the Underwriting Agreement, the Mortgage Indenture and the Mortgage Bonds do not and will not conflict with or constitute a breach of, or default

A-2-4


 

under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance (other than the lien of the Mortgage Indenture) upon any property or assets of the Company or any Subsidiary pursuant to any material Agreement or Instrument, or any law, administrative regulation or administrative or court order or decree known to me to be applicable to the Company of any court or governmental agency, authority or body or any arbitrator having jurisdiction over the Company; nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of the Restated Articles of Consolidation, as amended, or by-laws of the Company.
     (m) To the best of my knowledge, there are no contracts, indentures, mortgages, loan agreements, notes, leases or other instruments or documents required to be described or referred to in the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus or to be filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement other than those described or referred to therein or filed or incorporated by reference as exhibits to the Registration Statement, the descriptions thereof or references thereto are correct in all material respects, and no default exists in the due performance or observance of any material obligation, agreement, covenant or condition contained in any Agreement or Instrument described, referred to, filed or incorporated by reference therein.
     This opinion letter is limited to the laws of the States of Missouri and Kansas and the federal laws of the United States of America. This opinion letter is based on the law in effect, and the facts and circumstances existing, on the date of this letter. I assume no obligation to update or supplement this opinion letter to reflect any facts or circumstances which may hereafter come to my attention with respect to the opinions and statements expressed above, including any changes in applicable law which may hereafter occur.
     This opinion letter is being rendered and delivered solely to and for the benefit of the persons to whom it is addressed; accordingly, it may not be delivered to or relied upon by any other person, quoted or filed with any governmental authority or other regulatory agency or otherwise circulated or utilized for any other purpose without my prior written consent.

All Bonds of the Twelfth Series shall mature on April 1, 2019, subject to prior redemption pursuant to Section 2 of this Article I.

The place where interest shall be payable shall be the principal office of the Trustee in Kansas City, Missouri (or at the principal office of any successor in trust), or by check mailed to the registered holders of Bonds of the Twelfth Series. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to Bonds of the Twelfth Series in the form of one or more global bonds registered in the name of DTC or its nominee, the Company may make payments of principal of, redemption price of, and interest on such global bond pursuant to and in accordance with such arrangements as are agreed upon by the Company and the depositary for the Bonds of the Twelfth Series.

The first interest period for the Bonds of the Twelfth Series shall begin on March 24, 2009. Interest will accrue on the unpaid portion of the principal of the Bonds of the Twelfth Series from the last date to which interest was paid, or if no interest has been paid from the date of the original issuance of the Bonds of the Twelfth Series until the entire principal amount of the Bonds of the Twelfth Series is paid.
          (f) The Company shall have no obligation to redeem or purchase any Bonds of the Twelfth Series pursuant to any sinking fund or analogous requirement or upon the happening of a specified event or at the option of a holder of any Bonds of the Twelfth Series.
          (g) The Bonds of the Twelfth Series shall be subject to redemption as set forth in Section 2 of this Article I.

such interest payment date, except as and to the extent the Company shall default in the payment of the interest due on such interest payment date, in which case defaulted interest shall be paid to the person in whose name such Bond of the Twelfth Series is registered on the date of payment of such defaulted interest.
          As used in this Section 1, the term “default in the payment of interest” means failure to pay interest due on the applicable interest payment date disregarding any period of grace permitted by Section 12.02 of the Indenture, and the term “record date” with respect to each April 1 interest payment date means the March 15 immediately preceding such April 1, and with respect to each October 1 interest payment date means the September 15 immediately preceding such October 1.

     The redemption prices of Bonds of the Twelfth Series redeemed at the option of the Company shall be equal to the greater of: (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Bonds of the Twelfth Series to be redeemed; and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Bonds of the Twelfth Series to be redeemed (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued as of the date of redemption), discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate, plus 50 basis points, plus, in each case, accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption.
     Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as there is no existing default in the payment on the Bonds of the Twelfth Series, installments of interest on Bonds of the Twelfth Series that are due and payable on interest payment dates falling on or prior to a redemption date will be payable on the interest payment date to the registered holders as of the close of business on the relevant record date according to the Bonds of the Twelfth Series and the Indenture, except as and to the extent the Company shall default in the payment of the interest due on such interest payment date, in which case defaulted interest shall be paid to the person in whose name such Bond of the Twelfth Series is registered on the date of payment of such defaulted interest.
     For purposes of this Section 2:
“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the Quotation Agent as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Bonds of the Twelfth Series to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Bonds of the Twelfth Series.
“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date: (i) the average of the four Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Quotation Agent obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations, or (iii) if only one Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation is received, such quotation.

Any notice which is mailed as herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been properly and sufficiently given on the date of such mailing, whether or not the holder receives the notice. In any case, failure to give due notice by mail, or any defect in the notice, to the registered owners of any Bonds of the Twelfth Series designated for redemption as a whole or in part, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Bond.
          SECTION 3. Bonds of the Twelfth Series may be issued in denominations of $1,000 numbered consecutively from “R1” upward and in such multiples of $1,000 as the Company may authorize, appropriately numbered, the execution and delivery thereof to be conclusive evidence of such authorization.
     The form of the Bonds of the Twelfth Series shall be substantially as follows (any of the provisions of such Bond may be set forth on the reverse side thereof):
(FORM OF BOND OF THE TWELFTH SERIES)
[For so long as this global bond is deposited with or on behalf of the Depository Trust Company, it shall bear the following legend.] This security is a global security within the meaning of the Indenture hereinafter referred to and is registered in the name of a depositary or a nominee thereof. This security may not be exchanged in whole or in part for a security registered, and no transfer of this security in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any person other than such depositary or a nominee thereof, except in the limited circumstances described in the indenture or any supplement thereto.

The payment of principal, premium, or interest on the Bond shall be equal to the principal amount of, any premium on, and interest due on the Refunding Bonds as set forth in the Refunding Indenture. The principal of and any premium or interest on this Bond of the Thirteenth Series are payable in lawful money of the United States of America.
     THIS BOND OF THE THIRTEENTH SERIES IS NOT TRANSFERABLE EXCEPT TO EFFECT A TRANSFER TO ANY SUCCESSOR INSURER FOR THE REFUNDING BONDS OR ANY ASSIGNEE UNDER THE INSURANCE AGREEMENT REFERENCED BELOW, SUBJECT TO UNITED STATES SECURITIES LAWS.
     The obligation of the Company to make any payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on this Bond of the Thirteenth Series shall be fully or partially, as the case may be, paid, deemed to have been paid or otherwise satisfied and discharged to the extent that at the time any such payment shall be due, the then due principal of and any premium or interest on the Refunding Bonds shall have been fully or partially paid, deemed to have been paid or otherwise satisfied and discharged, excluding, however, amounts paid by the Insurer under the municipal bond insurance policy with respect to the Refunding Bonds.
     This Bond of the Thirteenth Series is one, of the series hereinafter specified, of the bonds of the Company (“Bonds”) known as its “Mortgage Bonds,” issued and to be issued in one or more series under and secured by a General Mortgage Indenture and Deed of Trust dated as of December 1, 1986 (“Indenture”), duly executed by the Company to UMB Bank, N.A., (formerly United Missouri Bank of Kansas City, N.A.) Trustee (“Trustee”), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the property mortgaged and pledged, the nature and extent of the security, the terms and conditions upon which the Bonds are, and are to be, issued and secured, and the rights of the owners of the Bonds and of the Trustee in respect of such security, and the prior liens to which the security for the Bonds is junior; capitalized terms used in this Bond of the Thirteenth Series have the respective meanings set forth in the Indenture. As provided in the Indenture, the Bonds may be various principal sums, are issuable in series, may mature at different times, may bear interest at different rates and may otherwise vary as therein provided; and this Bond of the Thirteenth Series is the only one of the series entitled “Mortgage Bonds Series 2005 EIRR Insurer Due 2035,” created by a Thirteenth Supplemental Indenture dated as of March 1, 2009, as provided for in the Indenture. With the consent of the holders of more than 50% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds, the Company and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time, enter into a Supplemental Indenture for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any provision of the Indenture or of any Supplemental Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the holders of the Bonds and any coupons; provided, however, that (i) no such Supplemental Indenture shall, without the consent of the holder of each Outstanding Bond affected thereby (A) extend the fixed maturity of any Bonds, change any terms of any sinking fund or analogous fund or conversion rights with respect to any Bonds, or reduce the rate or rates or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or, subject to certain exceptions, limit the right of a holder of Bonds to institute

suit for the enforcement of payment of principal of or any premium or interest on such Bonds in accordance with the terms of said Bonds, or (B) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Bonds, the holders of which are required to consent to any such Supplemental Indenture, or (C) permit the creation by the Company of any Prior Lien, and (ii) no such action which would affect the rights of the holders of the Bonds of only one series may be taken unless approved by the holders of more than 60% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds of such series affected, but if any such action would affect the Bonds of two or more series, the approval of such action on behalf of the holders of Bonds of such two or more series may be effected by holders of more than 60% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds of such two or more series, which need not include 60% in principal amount of Outstanding Bonds of each of such series; provided, however, that, in no event shall such action be effective unless approved by holders of more than 50% in aggregate principal amount of all the then Outstanding Bonds of all such series.
     In the event that this Bond of the Thirteenth Series shall not be presented for payment when all Refunding Bonds issued are no longer outstanding under the Refunding Bond Indenture, then all liability of the Company to the Registered Holder of this Bond of the Thirteenth Series for the payment of the principal hereof and any premium or interest hereon shall forthwith cease, determine and be completely discharged and the right of such Registered Holder of this Bond of the Thirteenth Series for the payment of the principal hereof and any premium or interest hereon shall forthwith cease, determine and be completely discharged and such Registered Holder shall no longer be entitled to any lien or benefit of the Indenture.
     In case an event of Default shall occur, the principal of this Bond of the Thirteenth Series may become or be declared due and payable in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.
     This Bond of the Thirteenth Series is not transferable by the Registered Holder hereof in person or by an attorney duly authorized in writing, except as may be required to effect a transfer to any assignee or successor to Syncora under the Insurance Agreement, dated as of September 1, 2005, by and between the Company and Syncora, at the principal office of the Trustee in Kansas City, Missouri (or at the principal office of any successor in trust), upon surrender and cancellation of this Bond of the Thirteenth Series, and upon any such transfer a new registered Bond of the Thirteenth Series without coupons of the same series for the same principal amount will be issued to the transferee in exchange herefor.
     The Company and the Trustee may deem and treat the person in whose name this Bond of the Thirteenth Series is registered as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
     No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on this Bond of the Thirteenth Series, or for any claim based hereon or otherwise in respect hereof or of the Indenture or any Supplemental Indenture, against any incorporator, stockholder, director or officer, past, present or future, of the Company or of any predecessor corporation, as such, either directly or through the Company or of any such predecessor or successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the

6


 

enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability of incorporators, stockholders, directors and officers being waived and released by every owner hereof by the acceptance of this Bond of the Thirteenth Series and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, and being likewise waived and released by the terms of the Indenture.
     This Bond of the Thirteenth Series shall not be valid or become obligatory for any purpose unless and until the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been executed by the Trustee or its successor in trust under said Indenture.

The principal of and any premium or interest on this Bond of the Fourteenth Series are payable in lawful money of the United States of America.
     THIS BOND OF THE FOURTEENTH SERIES IS NOT TRANSFERABLE EXCEPT TO EFFECT A TRANSFER TO ANY SUCCESSOR INSURER FOR THE REFUNDING BONDS OR ANY ASSIGNEE UNDER THE INSURANCE AGREEMENT REFERENCED BELOW, SUBJECT TO UNITED STATES SECURITIES LAWS.
     The obligation of the Company to make any payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on this Bond of the Fourteenth Series shall be fully or partially, as the case may be, paid, deemed to have been paid or otherwise satisfied and discharged to the extent that at the time any such payment shall be due, the then due principal of and any premium or interest on the Refunding Bonds shall have been fully or partially paid, deemed to have been paid or otherwise satisfied and discharged, excluding, however, amounts paid by the Insurer under the municipal bond insurance policy with respect to the Refunding Bonds.
     This Bond of the Fourteenth Series is one, of the series hereinafter specified, of the bonds of the Company (“Bonds”) known as its “Mortgage Bonds,” issued and to be issued in one or more series under and secured by a General Mortgage Indenture and Deed of Trust dated as of December 1, 1986 (“Indenture”), duly executed by the Company to UMB Bank, N.A., (formerly United Missouri Bank of Kansas City, N.A.) Trustee (“Trustee”), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the property mortgaged and pledged, the nature and extent of the security, the terms and conditions upon which the Bonds are, and are to be, issued and secured, and the rights of the owners of the Bonds and of the Trustee in respect of such security, and the prior liens to which the security for the Bonds is junior; capitalized terms used in this Bond of the Fourteenth Series have the respective meanings set forth in the Indenture. As provided in the Indenture, the Bonds may be various principal sums, are issuable in series, may mature at different times, may bear interest at different rates and may otherwise vary as therein provided; and this Bond of the Fourteenth Series is the only one of the series entitled “Mortgage Bonds Series 2007 EIRR Insurer Due 2035,” created by a Fourteenth Supplemental Indenture dated as of March 1, 2009, as provided for in the Indenture. With the consent of the holders of more than 50% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds, the Company and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time, enter into a Supplemental Indenture for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any

manner or eliminating any provision of the Indenture or of any Supplemental Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the holders of the Bonds and any coupons; provided, however, that (i) no such Supplemental Indenture shall, without the consent of the holder of each Outstanding Bond affected thereby (A) extend the fixed maturity of any Bonds, change any terms of any sinking fund or analogous fund or conversion rights with respect to any Bonds, or reduce the rate or rates or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or, subject to certain exceptions, limit the right of a holder of Bonds to institute suit for the enforcement of payment of principal of or any premium or interest on such Bonds in accordance with the terms of said Bonds, or (B) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Bonds, the holders of which are required to consent to any such Supplemental Indenture, or (C) permit the creation by the Company of any Prior Lien, and (ii) no such action which would affect the rights of the holders of the Bonds of only one series may be taken unless approved by the holders of more than 60% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds of such series affected, but if any such action would affect the Bonds of two or more series, the approval of such action on behalf of the holders of Bonds of such two or more series may be effected by holders of more than 60% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds of such two or more series, which need not include 60% in principal amount of Outstanding Bonds of each of such series; provided, however, that, in no event shall such action be effective unless approved by holders of more than 50% in aggregate principal amount of all the then Outstanding Bonds of all such series.
     In the event that this Bond of the Fourteenth Series shall not be presented for payment when all Refunding Bonds issued are no longer outstanding under the Refunding Bond Indenture, then all liability of the Company to the Registered Holder of this Bond of the Fourteenth Series for the payment of the principal hereof and any premium or interest hereon shall forthwith cease, determine and be completely discharged and the right of such Registered Holder of this Bond of the Fourteenth Series for the payment of the principal hereof and any premium or interest hereon shall forthwith cease, determine and be completely discharged and such Registered Holder shall no longer be entitled to any lien or benefit of the Indenture.
     In case an event of Default shall occur, the principal of this Bond of the Fourteenth Series may become or be declared due and payable in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.
     This Bond of the Fourteenth Series is not transferable by the Registered Holder hereof in person or by an attorney duly authorized in writing, except as may be required to effect a transfer to any assignee or successor to FGIC under the Insurance Agreement, dated September 19, 2007, by and between the Company and FGIC, at the principal office of the Trustee in Kansas City, Missouri (or at the principal office of any successor in trust), upon surrender and cancellation of this Bond of the Fourteenth Series, and upon any such transfer a new registered Bond of the Fourteenth Series without coupons of the same series for the same principal amount will be issued to the transferee in exchange herefor.
     The Company and the Trustee may deem and treat the person in whose name this Bond of the Fourteenth Series is registered as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

Kansas City Power & Light Company

Kansas City, Missouri 64106
  Re:   Kansas City Power & Light Company
Registration Statement on Form S-3
Ladies and Gentlemen:
     I have served as assistant general counsel to Kansas City Power & Light Company, a Missouri corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the issuance and sale by the Company of $400,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 7.15% Mortgage Bonds, Series 2009A due 2019 (the “Bonds”), covered by the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-148136) (the “Registration Statement”) filed on December 18, 2007 by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
     The Bonds were issued under and secured by the General Mortgage and Deed of Trust, dated as of December 1, 1986 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and UMB Bank, N.A. (formerly United Missouri Bank of Kansas City, N.A.) (the “Trustee”). The Bonds were sold by the Company pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, dated March 19, 2009, between the Company and Banc of America Securities LLC, BNP Paribas Securities Corp. and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., as representatives of the several underwriters named therein.
     In rendering the opinion expressed below, I have examined and relied upon a copy of the Registration Statement and the exhibits filed therewith. I have also examined originals, or copies of originals certified to my satisfaction, of such agreements, documents, certificates and statements of government officials and other instruments, and have examined such questions of law and have satisfied myself as to such matters of fact, as I have considered relevant and necessary as the basis for this opinion letter. I have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all persons and the conformity with the original documents of any copies thereof submitted to me for examination. I have also assumed that the Indenture is the valid and binding obligation of the Trustee.
     Based on the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications and limitations hereinafter set forth, I am of the opinion that the Bonds are legally issued and constitute the valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency or other laws affecting enforcement of mortgagees’ or other creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).
     For purposes of this opinion letter, I have further assumed that the Bonds will be governed by the laws of the State of Missouri. I am licensed to practice law in the State of Missouri and the foregoing opinion is limited to the laws of the State of Missouri.

 


 

     I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion letter as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to all references to me included in or made a part of the Registration Statement.
         
  Very truly yours,
