WHEREAS, all action on the part of the Issuer necessary to authorize the issuance of said Securities under the Original Indenture and this Seventh Supplemental Indenture (the Original Indenture, as supplemented by this Seventh Supplemental Indenture, being hereinafter called the “Indenture”) has been duly taken; and

WHEREAS, all acts and things necessary to make said Securities, when executed by the Issuer and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee as provided in the Original Indenture, the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Issuer, and to constitute these presents a valid and binding supplemental indenture according to its terms, have been done and performed, and the execution of this Seventh Supplemental Indenture and the creation and issuance under the Indenture of said Securities have in all respects been duly authorized, and the Issuer, in the exercise of the legal right and power vested in it, executes this Seventh Supplemental Indenture and proposes to create, execute, issue and deliver said Securities;

NOW, THEREFORE, in order to establish the designation, form, terms and provisions of, and to authorize the authentication and delivery of, said Securities, and in consideration of the acceptance of said Securities by the holders thereof and of other good and valuable

consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

DEFINITIONS

Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Original Indenture.

ARTICLE II

THE TERMS OF THE SERIES I NOTES

Section 2.1             Terms of 6.30% Senior Notes, Series I, due 2020.  (a) There is hereby created one (1) series of Securities designated: 6.30% Senior Notes, Series I, due 2020, in the initial aggregate principal amount of $250,000,000 (the “Series I Senior Notes”).  Upon delivery of a written order to the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.1 of the Original Indenture, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the Series I Senior Notes.  Such written order shall specify the amount of the Series I Senior Notes to be authenticated and the date on which such Series I Senior Notes are to be authenticated.

(b)           The Series I Senior Notes shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto.

Section 2.2            Terms of Series I Senior Notes Issued Hereunder in Global Form.

(a)           So long as DTC or its nominee is the registered owner or Holder of a Global Security, DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or Holder of the Series I Senior Notes represented by such Global Security for all purposes under the Original Indenture and under the Series I Senior Notes.  No beneficial owner of an interest in a Global Security will be able to transfer that interest except in accordance with DTC’s applicable procedures unless the Issuer shall issue certificates for the Series I Senior Notes in definitive registered form.

(b)           All payments of the principal of, and interest and additional interest and premium, if any, on, a Global Security will be made to DTC or its nominees, as the registered owners thereof.

(c)           Transfers between participants in DTC will be effected in the ordinary way in accordance with DTC rules and will be settled in same-day funds.

(d)           Certificated definitive Series I Senior Notes may be in denominations of less than $2,000 to the extent any redemption has reduced such Holder’s aggregate holding of such Series I Senior Notes to less than $2,000.

(e)           If any redemption affecting the Series I Senior Notes would result in the amount to be paid to a Holder of such affected Senior Note in respect of such redemption not to

2

equal $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof (in excess of $2,000), the Issuer shall instruct the Trustee to round the amount to be paid to such Holder to the nearest $1,000 so that the amount to be paid to such Holder equals $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof.

(f)            Except in the limited circumstances described under Section 2.2(g) below, beneficial interests in a Global Security will only be recorded by book-entry, and owners of beneficial interests in a Global Security will not be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificates representing Series I Senior Notes.

(g)           If (i) DTC or any successor depository notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as a depository for a Global Security or ceases to be a “clearing agency” registered under the Exchange Act and a successor depository is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days of such notice, (ii) an Event of Default under the Series I Senior Notes has occurred and is continuing and payment of principal and interest has been accelerated or (iii) the Issuer decides, at its option, to discontinue use of the book-entry system through DTC, then the Issuer shall issue certificates for the Series I Senior Notes in definitive registered form substantially in the form attached hereto in exchange for the Global Security outstanding.

(h)           The holder of a certificated definitive registered Series I Senior Note may transfer such Series I Senior Note in whole or in part by surrendering it at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and such Series I Senior Note.

Section 2.3             Interest, Principal, Maturity Date and Regular Record Date.  The Series I Senior Notes shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from time to time outstanding from the date of issuance thereof until such amount is paid in full at the rate of interest set forth in the form of such Series I Senior Note attached hereto.  The principal amount of the Series I Senior Notes shall be due and payable at maturity as set forth in the form of Series I Senior Note attached hereto.

Payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Series I Senior Notes shall be made as provided in Sections 2.4, 2.10, 3.2 and 3.4 of the Original Indenture, except that the final payment of principal of the Series I Senior Notes shall be made on the due date therefor to the account of the Holder as such account shall appear in the Security Register, which amount shall be payable upon presentation and surrender of such Series I Senior Note at the office of the Issuer.

The Series I Senior Notes shall mature on the date and in the amount set forth thereon.

The record date applicable to the Series I Senior Notes issued hereunder shall be as set forth in the form of Series I Senior Note attached hereto.

All payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest with respect to certificated Series I Senior Notes will be made by bank check mailed on the interest payment date to the address of such Holder on the Security Register or, for Holders of at least U.S. $1,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Series I Senior Notes, by wire transfer on the interest payment date of immediately available funds to a dollar account maintained by such Holder with a bank or other financial institution; provided that a written request from such Holder to such effect designating

3

such account is received by the Trustee and the Issuer or the paying agent no later than the record date immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date.  Unless such designation is revoked, any such designation made by such person with respect to such certificated Series I Senior Notes will remain in effect with respect to any future payments with respect to such certificated Senior Note payable to such person.

Section 2.4             Optional Redemption.  The Series I Senior Notes issued hereunder are subject to optional redemption, in whole or in part, at any time at the option of the Issuer at a redemption price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount of the Series I Senior Notes being so redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date fixed for redemption (the “Determination Date”) together with the Applicable Premium applicable thereto.

Section 2.5             Reopen Series.  The Issuer, from time to time, without the consent of the Holders of the Series I Senior Notes, may reopen the Series I Senior Notes and create and issue further senior debt securities under the Indenture having the same terms and conditions (including the same CUSIP number) as the Series I Senior Notes issued hereunder in all respects, except for the date of original issuance, the initial interest payment date and the offering price.  Such additional senior debt securities shall be consolidated with, and form a single series with, the previously outstanding Series I Senior Notes hereunder.

Section 2.6             Applicable Premium.  As used herein, “Applicable Premium” means an amount calculated as follows:

(i)            the average life of the remaining scheduled payments of principal in respect of Outstanding Series I Senior Notes (the “Remaining Average Life”) shall be calculated as of the Determination Date;

(ii)           the yield to maturity calculated as of a date not more than five days prior to the Determination Date for the United States Treasury security having an average life equal to the Remaining Average Life and trading in the secondary market at the price closest to the principal amount thereof (the “Primary Issue”); provided, however, that if no United States Treasury security has an average life equal to the Remaining Average Life, the yields (the “Other Yields”) for the two maturities of United States Treasury securities having average lives most closely corresponding to such Remaining Average Life and trading in the secondary market at the price closest to the principal amount thereof shall be calculated, and the yield to maturity for the Primary Issue shall be the yield interpolated or extrapolated from such Other Yields on a straight line basis, rounding in each of such relevant periods to the nearest month;

(iii)          the discounted present value of the then-remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest (but excluding that portion of any scheduled payment of interest that is actually due and paid on the Determination Date) in respect of the Outstanding Series I Senior Notes shall be calculated as of the Determination Date using a discount factor equal to the sum of (x) the yield to maturity for the Primary Issue, plus (y) 45 basis points; and

4

(iv)          the amount of Applicable Premium in respect of the Series I Senior Notes to be redeemed shall be an amount equal to (x) the discounted present value of such Series I Senior Notes to be redeemed determined in accordance with clause (iii) above, minus (y) the unpaid principal amount of such Series I Senior Notes; provided, however, that the Applicable Premium shall not be less than zero; and

(v)           such calculation shall be made by an Investment Banker.

Section 2.7             Amendments for Benefit of Series I Senior Notes.  The Indenture is hereby amended, pursuant to Section 7.1(d) of the Original Indenture for the benefit of the holders of the Series I Senior Notes and for so long as the Series I Senior Notes are outstanding, as follows:

(a)           Section 1.1 of the Original Indenture is amended by adding to the definitions the following: “Existing Generating Assets”, when used in respect of the $250,000,000 6.30% Senior Notes, Series I, due 2020, means the coal-fired and oil-fired units and gas-fired units owned by the Issuer as of the date of issuance of such Notes.”

(b)           Section 3.9 of the Original Indenture is amended to delete the words “Initial Generation Assets” and insert in lieu thereof the words “Existing Generating Assets”.

(c)           Section 4.1(i) of the Original Indenture is amended to delete the words “Initial Generating Assets” and insert in lieu thereof the words “Existing Generating Assets”.

(d)           In Section 4.1(i) of the Original Indenture, for the avoidance of doubt, the reference to the “Genco-Marketing Co. PPA” shall be deemed to refer to the Amended and Restated Power Supply Agreement dated as of March 28, 2008 between the Issuer and Marketing Co.

This Senior Note is one of a duly authorized issue of debt securities of the Issuer, issued or to be issued pursuant to an Indenture dated as of November 1, 2000 as supplemented by the Seventh Supplemental Indenture dated as of November 1, 2009 (as so supplemented, the “Indenture”), duly executed and delivered by the Issuer to the Trustee.  Reference is hereby made to the Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Issuer and the Holders (the words “Holders” or “Holder” meaning the registered holders or registered holder) of the Series I Senior Notes.  Capitalized terms used herein, but not otherwise defined herein, shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

In case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal of all the Securities may be declared due and payable, in the manner and with the effect, and subject to the conditions, provided in the Indenture.  The Indenture provides that in certain events such declaration and its consequences may be waived by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then Outstanding and that, prior to any such declaration, such Holders may waive any past default under the Indenture and its consequences except a default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any of the Securities and as otherwise provided in the Indenture.  Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Senior Note (unless revoked as provided in the Indenture) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of this Senior Note and any Security which may be issued in exchange or substitution hereof, whether or not any notation thereof is made upon this Senior Note or such other Security.

The Indenture permits the Issuer and the Trustee, with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all series at the time Outstanding considered as one class, evidenced as in the Indenture provided, to modify the Indenture or any supplemental indentures or the rights of the Holders of the Series I Senior Notes; provided that no such modification shall (a) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any installment of principal of or interest on, any Security, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any amount payable on redemption thereof or impair or affect the right of any Holder of the Security to institute suit for the payment thereof without the consent of the Holder of each Security so affected; or (b)(i) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Securities, the consent of the Holders of which is required for any such modification or the percentage of Securities, the consent of Holders of which is required for any waiver provided for in the Indenture; (ii) change any obligation of the Issuer to maintain an office or agency for payment of and transfer and exchange of the Securities; or (iii) make certain changes to provisions relating to waiver or to the provision for supplementing the Indenture; in each case without the consent of the Holders of all Securities then Outstanding.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Senior Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Senior Note at the place, times, and rate, and in the currency, herein prescribed.

The Series I Senior Notes are issuable only as registered Series I Senior Notes without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

At the office or agency of the Issuer referred to on the face hereof and in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture, Series I Senior Notes may be presented for exchange for a like aggregate principal amount of Series I Senior Notes of other authorized denominations.

Upon due presentment for registration of transfer of this Senior Note at the above-mentioned office or agency of the Issuer, a new Series I Senior Note or Series I Senior Notes of authorized denominations, for a like aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the transferee as provided in the Indenture.  No service charge shall be made for any such transfer, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto.

The Series I Senior Notes may be redeemed in whole or in part (if in part, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee shall deem fair or appropriate) prior to Stated Maturity at the option of the Issuer, upon mailing a notice of such redemption not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption to the Holders of Series I Senior Notes, all as provided in the Indenture, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date of redemption, plus the Applicable Premium.

Subject to payment by the Issuer of a sum sufficient to pay the amount due on redemption, interest on this Senior Note shall cease to accrue upon the date duly fixed for redemption of this Senior Note.

The Issuer, the Trustee, and any authorized agent of the Issuer or the Trustee, may deem and treat the registered Holder hereof as the absolute owner of this Senior Note (whether or not this Senior Note shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon made by anyone other than the Issuer or the Trustee or any authorized agent of the Issuer or the Trustee), for the purpose of receiving payment of, or on account of, the principal hereof and premium, if any, and, subject to the provisions on the face hereof, interest hereon and for all other purposes, and neither the Issuer nor the Trustee nor any authorized agent of the Issuer or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
