                       OKLAHOMA GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY
 
    Oklahoma  Gas and Electric Company,  an Oklahoma corporation (the "Company")
incorporated in 1902 under the laws of the Territory of Oklahoma, is an electric
public utility company with its principal executive offices located at 101 North
Robinson, P.O.  Box 321,  Oklahoma City,  Oklahoma 73101-0321.  Telephone  (405)
553-3000.
 
    The  Company  is the  largest operating  electric  utility in  Oklahoma. The
Company owns and  operates an interconnected  electric production,  transmission
and  distribution system which includes eight  active generating stations with a
total capability of 5,647,300 kilowatts. The Company's wholly-owned  subsidiary,
Enogex Inc., owns and operates more than 3,000 miles of natural gas transmission
and gathering pipeline and, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, has interests
in  five gas processing plants, markets natural gas and natural gas products and
invests in the exploration and  production of natural gas. (See  "Restructuring"
below.)  The Company  furnishes retail electric  service in  274 communities and
contiguous rural  and  suburban territories  in  Oklahoma and  western  Arkansas
(population  served  estimated  by  the Company  at  1,700,000).  It  also sells
electric energy at  wholesale for resale  in five communities  and to two  rural
electric  cooperatives in those states. The  area served by the Company embraces
approximately 30,000 square  miles, which  includes Oklahoma  City, the  largest
city  in Oklahoma, and the section of Arkansas in the general area of Ft. Smith,
the second largest city  in Arkansas. Of the  total 279 communities served,  248
are  located in Oklahoma and 31 in  Arkansas. Approximately 91% of the Company's
electric operating revenues for  the year ended December  31, 1995, was  derived
from sales in Oklahoma and approximately 9% from sales in Arkansas.
 
RESTRUCTURING
 
    The  Company has  proposed a  corporate restructuring  (the "Restructuring")
under which it will become the subsidiary of a newly-formed holding company (the
"Holding Company"),  and the  Company's  Common Stock  will  be exchanged  on  a
share-for-share  basis for Common Stock of  the Holding Company. The shareowners
of the Company approved the Restructuring at a special meeting of shareowners on
November 16, 1995. Following the Restructuring, Enogex Inc. will become a direct
subsidiary of the  Holding Company  and will  cease to  be a  subsidiary of  the
Company.  The Company's Annual Report  on Form 10-K for  the year ended December
31, 1995, filed with the  Securities and Exchange Commission (the  "Commission")
and  incorporated by reference in this  Prospectus, includes pro forma financial
information for the Company as of December  31, 1995 and December 31, 1994,  and
each  of the  three years in  the period  ended December 31,  1995, after giving
effect to the Restructuring and the transfer  by the Company of Enogex Inc.  and
its  subsidiaries ("Enogex") to the  Holding Company as if  they had occurred on
January 1, 1993. The Restructuring  is subject to certain conditions,  including
the  receipt  of  regulatory  approvals.  It  is  presently  expected  that  the
Restructuring will be  consummated during  the third  quarter of  1996. The  New
Notes  and other outstanding indebtedness of the Company will not be transferred
or exchanged in the Restructuring and, following the Restructuring, will  remain
direct  obligations of the Company with the  same terms as in effect immediately
prior to the Restructuring.

interest. The pro forma ratios (which exclude the results of Enogex) give effect
to the Restructuring and the  transfer by the Company  of Enogex to the  Holding
Company as if they occurred at January 1, 1991.
 
    The  annual interest requirements  on the long-term debt  of the Company and

                            DESCRIPTION OF NEW NOTES
 
GENERAL
 
    Each series of New Notes is to be an initial issue of a new series of senior
notes (the "Senior Notes") issued under the Indenture dated October 1, 1995,  as
supplemented  by Supplemental Indenture No. 1, dated  October 16, 1995 and as to
be further supplemented by a new  supplemental indenture for such series of  New
Notes  (collectively,  the  "Senior  Note Indenture")  between  the  Company and
Boatmen's First  National  Bank  of  Oklahoma,  as  trustee  (the  "Senior  Note
Trustee").  The following  summaries of  certain provisions  of the  Senior Note
Indenture do not purport  to be complete  and are subject  to, and qualified  in
their  entirety by, all of the provisions  of the Senior Note Indenture which is
an exhibit to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part  and
which  is  incorporated herein  by this  reference. Unless  otherwise indicated,
references to Section numbers under this  caption are references to the  Section
numbers of the Senior Note Indenture.
 
    Until  the Release Date (as defined  below), the Senior Notes (including the
New Notes) will be secured by one or more series of the Company's first mortgage
bonds issued  and delivered  by the  Company  to the  Senior Note  Trustee.  See
"Security;  Release Date." ON THE RELEASE  DATE, THE SENIOR NOTES (INCLUDING THE
NEW NOTES)  WILL  CEASE TO  BE  SECURED BY  FIRST  MORTGAGE BONDS,  WILL  BECOME
UNSECURED  GENERAL OBLIGATIONS  OF THE  COMPANY AND WILL  RANK ON  A PARITY WITH
OTHER UNSECURED INDEBTEDNESS OF THE COMPANY. As of the date of this  Prospectus,
the  Company had issued  two series of  Senior Notes in  the aggregate principal
amount of $220  million (the "Prior  Senior Notes"). The  Senior Note  Indenture
provides  that, in addition  to the New Notes  offered hereby, additional Senior
Notes may be  issued thereunder,  without limitation as  to aggregate  principal
amount,  provided that, prior  to the Release  Date, the amount  of Senior Notes
that may be issued  and outstanding cannot exceed  the amount of first  mortgage
bonds  that the Company is able to issue under its First Mortgage Indenture. See
"FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS  AND FIRST  MORTGAGE INDENTURE --  Issuance of  Additional
Bonds."  At December 31, 1995, the Company could issue more than $900 million of
additional first mortgage bonds at an assumed 8.2% interest rate.
 
    There is no requirement under the  Senior Note Indenture that future  issues
of debt securities of the Company be issued under the Senior Note Indenture, and
the Company will be free to employ other indentures or documentation, containing
provisions  different  from  those  included in  the  Senior  Note  Indenture or
applicable to one or more issues of  Senior Notes (including the New Notes),  in
connection with future issues of such other debt securities.
 
    The  Senior Note Indenture provides that the New Notes will be issued in one
or more series,  may be  issued at various  times, may  have differing  maturity
dates  and  may  bear interest  at  differing rates.  The  Prospectus Supplement
applicable to each issue of Offered Notes will specify: (1) the designation  and
aggregate  principal amount of  such Offered Notes;  (2) the date  on which such
Offered Notes  will  mature;  (3) the  interest  rate  or rates,  or  method  of
calculation  of such  rate or rates,  on such  Offered Notes, and  the date from
which such interest shall accrue; (4) the  dates on which such interest will  be
payable;  (5)  the record  dates for  payments of  interest; (6)  any redemption
terms; (7) the period or periods within which, the price or prices at which  and
the  terms and conditions upon which such  Offered Notes may be repaid, in whole
or in part, at the  option of the holder thereof;  and (8) other specific  terms
applicable  to such Offered Notes. Unless  otherwise indicated in the applicable
Prospectus Supplement,  the  New Notes  will  be denominated  in  United  States
currency  in  minimum denominations  of $1,000  and integral  multiples thereof,
except that the  denomination of any  New Note issued  in the form  of a  Global
Security will not exceed $200,000,000 without the approval of the Depository.
 
    Unless  otherwise indicated  in the applicable  Prospectus Supplement, there
are no provisions in the Senior Note Indenture or the New Notes that require the
Company to redeem, or permit the holders to cause a redemption of, the New Notes
or that  otherwise protect  the holders  in the  event that  the Company  incurs
substantial  additional indebtedness, whether or not in connection with a change
in control  of the  Company. However,  any change  in control  transaction  that
involves  the incurrence of  additional long-term indebtedness  (as notes, first
mortgage bonds or otherwise) by the Company in
 
                                       5
<PAGE>
such  a  transaction  would  require   approval  of  state  utility   regulatory
authorities  and,  possibly,  of federal  utility  regulatory  authorities. (See
"OKLAHOMA GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY -- Restructuring.") Management believes  that
such  approvals would be  unlikely in any  transaction that would  result in the
Company, or  a successor  to  the Company,  having  a highly  leveraged  capital
structure.
 
REGISTRATION, TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE
 
    New Notes of any series will be exchangeable for other New Notes of the same
series  of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount
and tenor. (Section 2.06)
 
    Unless otherwise  indicated in  the  applicable Prospectus  Supplement,  New
Notes   may  be  presented  for  registration  of  transfer  (duly  endorsed  or
accompanied by a duly executed written instrument of transfer), at the office of
the Senior Note  Trustee and  maintained for such  purpose with  respect to  any
series  of New  Notes and referred  to in the  applicable Prospectus Supplement,
without service charge  and upon  payment of  any taxes  and other  governmental
charges  as described  in the Senior  Note Indenture. Such  transfer or exchange
will be effected upon being satisfied with the documents of title and  indemnity
of the person making the request. (Sections 2.06 and 2.07)
 
    In  the event of any redemption of New  Notes of any series, the Senior Note
Trustee will not be required to exchange or register a transfer of any New Notes
of such series selected,  called or being called  for redemption except, in  the
case  of any New Note to  be redeemed in part, the  portion thereof not to be so
redeemed. (Section 2.06) See "BOOK-ENTRY SYSTEM."
 
PAYMENT AND PAYING AGENTS
 
    Principal of and interest and  premium, if any, on  New Notes issued in  the
form  of Global Securities will be paid  in the manner described below under the
caption "BOOK-ENTRY  SYSTEM."  Unless  otherwise  indicated  in  the  applicable
Prospectus   Supplement,  interest  on  New  Notes  that  are  in  the  form  of
certificated securities will be paid by check to the person entitled thereto  as
such  person's name appears in the register  for the New Notes maintained by the
Senior Note Trustee; however,  a holder of  Senior Notes of  one or more  series
under the Senior Note Indenture in the aggregate principal amount of $10,000,000
or  more having  the same  interest payment  dates will  be entitled  to receive
payments of interest on  such series by wire  transfer of immediately  available
funds  to  a  bank within  the  continental  United States  if  appropriate wire
transfer instructions have been received by the Senior Note Trustee on or  prior
to the applicable regular record date. (Section 2.12) Unless otherwise indicated
in  the  applicable Prospectus  Supplement, the  principal  of, and  interest at
maturity and  premium,  if  any,  on  New Notes  in  the  form  of  certificated
securities  will be payable in immediately available  funds at the office of the
Senior Note Trustee. (Section 2.12)
 
    All monies  paid  by the  Company  to a  paying  agent for  the  payment  of
principal  of,  interest  or premium,  if  any,  on any  New  Note  which remain
unclaimed at the  end of  two years after  such principal,  interest or  premium
shall  have become due and payable will be  repaid to the Company and the holder
of such New Note will thereafter look  only to the Company for payment  thereof.
(Section 5.04)
 
SECURITY; RELEASE DATE
 
    Until  the Release Date, the Senior Notes  (including the New Notes) will be
secured by one  or more series  of the Company's  first mortgage bonds  ("Senior
Note  Mortgage Bonds") issued  and delivered by  the Company to  the Senior Note
Trustee (see  "FIRST MORTGAGE  BONDS AND  FIRST MORTGAGE  INDENTURE"). Upon  the
issuance  of a  series of Senior  Notes (including  the New Notes)  prior to the
Release Date, the Company  will simultaneously issue and  deliver to the  Senior
Note Trustee, as security for all Senior Notes, a series of Senior Note Mortgage
Bonds  that will  have the same  stated rate  or rates of  interest (or interest
calculated in the same manner), interest payment dates, stated maturity date and
redemption provisions, and will  be in the same  aggregrate principal amount  as
the  series of the Senior Notes (including the New Notes) being issued. (Section
4.10) Payment  by  the Company  to  the Senior  Note  Trustee of  principal  of,
premium, if any, and interest on,
 
                                       6
<PAGE>
a  series  of Senior  Note Mortgage  Bonds will  be applied  by the  Senior Note
Trustee to  satisfy the  Company's  obligations with  respect to  principal  of,
premium,  if any, and interest on, the  Senior Notes. (Section 4.11) THE RELEASE
DATE WILL BE THE DATE THAT ALL FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS ("FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS")  OF
THE   COMPANY  ISSUED  AND  OUTSTANDING   UNDER  THE  FIRST  MORTGAGE  INDENTURE
(HEREINAFTER DEFINED), OTHER THAN SENIOR NOTE MORTGAGE BONDS, HAVE BEEN  RETIRED
(AT,  BEFORE  OR  AFTER THE  MATURITY  THEREOF) THROUGH  PAYMENT,  REDEMPTION OR
OTHERWISE (INCLUDING THOSE  FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS  DEEMED TO BE  PAID WITHIN  THE
MEANING  OF THE FIRST MORTGAGE INDENTURE). ON  THE RELEASE DATE, THE SENIOR NOTE
TRUSTEE WILL DELIVER TO  THE COMPANY FOR CANCELLATION  ALL SENIOR NOTE  MORTGAGE
BONDS  AND THE COMPANY WILL  CAUSE THE SENIOR NOTE  TRUSTEE TO PROVIDE NOTICE TO
ALL HOLDERS OF SENIOR NOTES (INCLUDING THE  NEW NOTES) OF THE OCCURRENCE OF  THE
RELEASE  DATE. AS A RESULT, ON THE  RELEASE DATE, THE SENIOR NOTE MORTGAGE BONDS
SHALL CEASE TO SECURE THE SENIOR NOTES (INCLUDING THE NEW NOTES), AND THE SENIOR
NOTES (INCLUDING THE NEW NOTES) WILL BECOME UNSECURED GENERAL OBLIGATIONS OF THE
COMPANY. (Section 4.11)  Each series  of Senior Note  Mortgage Bonds  will be  a
series  of First Mortgage  Bonds of the Company,  all of which  are secured by a
lien on certain property owned by the Company. In certain circumstances prior to
the Release Date,  the Company is  permitted to reduce  the aggregate  principal
amount  of  a series  of  Senior Note  Mortgage Bonds  held  by the  Senior Note
Trustee, but  in no  event to  an amount  lower than  the aggregate  outstanding
principal   amount   of   the   series   of   Senior   Notes   initially  issued
contemporaneously with such Senior Note Mortgage Bonds. (Section 4.08) Following
the Release Date,  the Company  will cause the  First Mortgage  Indenture to  be
closed  and the Company will not issue any additional First Mortgage Bonds under
the First Mortgage Indenture. (Section 4.11) While the Company will be precluded
after the Release Date from issuing additional First Mortgage Bonds, the Company
will not be precluded under the Senior Note Indenture or New Notes from  issuing
or  assuming other secured debt,  or incurring liens on  its property, except to
the extent indicated below under "Limitation  on Liens" and except as  otherwise
indicated in the applicable Prospectus Supplement.
 
EVENTS OF DEFAULT
 
    The  following constitute events of default under the Senior Note Indenture:
(a) default in the payment  of principal of and premium,  if any, on any  Senior
Note  when due and  payable and continuance  of such default  for five days; (b)
default in the payment of interest on  any Senior Note when due which  continues
for  30 days; (c) default in the performance  or breach of any other covenant or
warranty of  the Company  in  the Senior  Note  Indenture and  the  continuation
thereof  for 90  days after  written notice  to the  Company as  provided in the
Senior Note  Indenture; (d)  prior to  the  Release Date,  the occurrence  of  a
Completed  Default (hereinafter defined) under  the First Mortgage Indenture, of
which the  First Mortgage  Trustee  (hereinafter defined),  the Company  or  the
holders  of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Senior
Notes have given  written notice  thereof to the  Senior Note  Trustee; and  (e)
certain  events  of bankruptcy,  insolvency, assignment  or receivership  of the
Company. (Section 8.01)
 
    If an event  of default  occurs and is  continuing, either  the Senior  Note
Trustee  or  the holders  of a  majority  in aggregate  principal amount  of the
outstanding Senior Notes may declare the principal amount of all Senior Notes to
be due and payable immediately. Upon such acceleration of the Senior Notes,  the
Senior Note Trustee is empowered to cause the mandatory redemption of the Senior
Note  Mortgage Bonds. At any time after  an acceleration of the Senior Notes has
been declared, but before a judgment or  decree of the immediate payment of  the
principal  amount of the Senior Notes has been obtained and so long as all First
Mortgage Bonds have not been accelerated,  if the Company pays or deposits  with
the  Senior Note  Trustee a  sum sufficient to  pay all  matured installments of
interest and the principal and any  premium which has become due otherwise  than
by  acceleration and  all defaults  shall have been  cured or  waived, then such
payment or  deposit will  cause an  automatic rescission  and annulment  of  the
acceleration of the Senior Notes. (Section 8.01)
 
    The  Senior Note Indenture  provides that the  Senior Note Trustee generally
will be under no obligation  to exercise any of its  rights or powers under  the
Senior  Note Indenture at the request or  direction of any of the holders unless
such holders have  offered to  the Senior  Note Trustee  reasonable security  or
indemnity.  (Section 9.02) The holders of a  majority in principal amount of the
outstanding
 
                                       7
<PAGE>
Senior Notes generally will have the right to direct the time, method and  place
of  conducting  any  proceeding for  any  remedy  available to  the  Senior Note
Trustee, or  of exercising  any trust  or  power conferred  on the  Senior  Note
Trustee.  (Section  8.07)  Each holder  of  any  Senior Note  has  the  right to
institute a proceeding with respect to the Senior Note Indenture, but such right
is subject  to  certain  conditions  precedent  specified  in  the  Senior  Note
Indenture.  (Section 8.04)  The Senior Note  Indenture provides  that the Senior
Note Trustee, within 90 days after the  occurrence of a default with respect  to
the  Senior Notes, is required to give the holders of the Senior Notes notice of
such default, unless cured or waived, but, except in the case of default in  the
payment  of principal of, or premium, if  any, or interest on, any Senior Notes,
the Senior Note Trustee may withhold such notice if it determines in good  faith
that  it is in the interest of such holders to do so. (Section 8.08) The Company
is required to deliver to the Senior Note Trustee each year a certificate as  to
whether  or not, to the knowledge of  the officers signing such certificate, the
Company is in compliance with the conditions and covenants under the Senior Note
Indenture. (Section 6.06)
 
MODIFICATION
 
    Modification and amendment of the Senior  Note Indenture may be effected  by
the  Company and the  Senior Note Trustee with  the consent of  the holders of a
majority in principal amount of  the outstanding Senior Notes affected  thereby,
provided  that no such modification or amendment may, without the consent of the
holder of each outstanding Senior Note affected thereby, (a) change the maturity
date of any Senior Note;  (b) reduce the rate or  extend the time of payment  of
interest  on any  Senior Note;  (c) reduce the  principal amount  of, or premium
payable on, any Senior Note; (d) change  the coin or currency of any payment  of
principal  of, or any  premium or interest  on, any Senior  Note; (e) change the
date on which any Senior Note may be redeemed or adversely affect the rights  of
a holder to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect
to  any Senior Note; (f)  impair the interest of the  Senior Note Trustee in the
Senior Note Mortgage Bonds held by it or, prior to the Release Date, reduce  the
principal amount of any series of Senior Note Mortgage Bonds securing the Senior
Notes  to an  amount less  than the  principal amount  of the  related series of
Senior Notes or alter the payment provisions of such Senior Note Mortgage  Bonds
in  a manner  adverse to  the holders  of the  Senior Notes;  or (g)  modify the
foregoing requirements  or reduce  the percentage  of outstanding  Senior  Notes
necessary  to modify  or amend the  Senior Note  Indenture or to  waive any past
default to less than a majority.  Modification and amendment of the Senior  Note
Indenture may be effected by the Company and the Senior Note Trustee without the
consent  of the  holders (a)  to add  to the  covenants of  the Company  for the
benefit of the holders or to surrender  a right conferred on the Company in  the
Senior  Note Indenture; (b) to add further security for the Senior Notes; or (c)
to make certain other  modifications, generally of  a ministerial or  immaterial
nature. (Sections 13.01 and 13.02)
 
DEFEASANCE AND DISCHARGE
 
    The  Senior Note Indenture provides that the Company will be discharged from
any and all  obligations in  respect to  the Senior  Notes and  the Senior  Note
Indenture  (except for certain  obligations such as  obligations to register the
transfer or exchange of Senior Notes,  replace stolen, lost or mutilated  Senior
Notes  and  maintain  paying  agencies)  if,  among  other  things,  the Company
irrevocably deposits with the Senior Note  Trustee, in trust for the benefit  of
holders  of Senior Notes, money or certain United States government obligations,
or any combination thereof,  which through the payment  of interest thereon  and
principal thereof in accordance with their terms will provide money in an amount
sufficient,  without reinvestment, to make all payments of principal of, and any
premium and interest on, the Senior Notes on the dates such payments are due  in
accordance  with the terms  of the Senior  Note Indenture and  the Senior Notes;
provided that, unless all of  the Senior Notes are to  be due within 90 days  of
such  deposit by redemption or otherwise,  the Company shall also have delivered
to the Senior Note Trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that the  holders
of  the Senior Notes will not recognize  income, gain or loss for federal income
tax purposes as a result of such defeasance or
 
                                       8
<PAGE>
discharge of the Senior Note Indenture. Thereafter, the holders of Senior  Notes
must look only to such deposit for payment of the principal of, and interest and
any premium on, the Senior Notes. (Section 5.01)
 
CONSOLIDATION, MERGER AND SALE OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS
 
    The Company will not consolidate with or merge into any other corporation or
sell,  transfer or otherwise dispose  of all or substantially  all of its assets
unless the successor or transferee corporation assumes by supplemental indenture
the due and punctual payment of the principal of and premium and interest on all
the Senior  Notes and  the performance  of  every covenant  of the  Senior  Note
Indenture  to be performed or observed by  the Company and, prior to the Release
Date, unless  the  successor or  transferee  corporation assumes  the  Company's
obligations  under the First Mortgage Indenture  with respect to the Senior Note
Mortgage Bonds. Upon  any such  consolidation, merger, sale,  transfer or  other
disposition  of  all or  substantially all  of  the assets  of the  Company, the
successor corporation formed by such consolidation or into which the Company  is
merged  or to which such  transfer is made shall  succeed to, and be substituted
for, and may exercise  every right and  power of, the  Company under the  Senior
Note  Indenture with the same  effect as if such  successor corporation had been
named as  the  Company  therein  and  the Company  will  be  released  from  all
obligations  under the Senior Note Indenture.  The Senior Note Indenture defines
all or substantially all of  the assets of the Company  as being 50% or more  of
the  total assets of the Company as shown on the balance sheet of the Company as
of the end of the prior year and specifically permits any such sale, transfer or
other disposition  during a  calendar year  of  less than  50% of  total  assets
without  the consent  of the  holders of the  Senior Notes.  (Sections 12.01 and
12.02)
 
LIMITATIONS ON LIENS
 
    Unless otherwise  specified in  the  applicable Prospectus  Supplement  with
respect  to any series of Offered Notes, the related supplemental indenture will
provide that, from and after  the Release Date and so  long as any such  Offered
Notes  are outstanding, the Company may not  issue, assume or guarantee any debt
for money borrowed ("Debt") that is secured by any mortgage, security  interest,
pledge  or lien ("mortgage") of  or upon any Operating  Property of the Company,
whether owned at the date of  the Senior Note Indenture or thereafter  acquired,
and will not permit to exist any Debt secured by any such mortgage created on or
prior  to the Release Date, without in any case effectively securing the Offered
Notes and all series of Senior  Notes issued prior to or contemporaneously  with
such  Offered Notes (together with, if the Company shall so determine, any other
Senior Notes or indebtedness of the Company ranking senior to, or equally  with,
the  Senior  Notes)  with  such  Debt  equally  and  ratably,  except  that this
restriction will not  apply to: (1)  mortgages on any  property existing at  the
time  of its acquisition; (2) mortgages on property of a corporation existing at
the time such corporation  is merged into or  consolidated with, or disposes  of
substantially  all its properties (or those of  a division) to, the Company; (3)
mortgages to  secure  the  cost of  acquisition,  construction,  development  or
substantial   repair,  alteration  or  improvement  of  property  or  to  secure
indebtedness incurred to provide funds for any such purpose or for reimbursement
of funds previously expended for any  such purpose, provided such mortgages  are
created  or  assumed contemporaneously  with, or  within  18 months  after, such
acquisition or  completion of  substantial repair  or alteration,  construction,
development  or substantial improvement or within six months thereafter pursuant
to a commitment for financing arranged with a lender or investor within such  18
month  period; (4)  mortgages in favor  of the  United States of  America or any
State thereof, or for the  benefit of holders of  securities issued by any  such
entity, or any department, agency or instrumentality or political subdivision of
the  United States of America or any  State thereof, to secure any Debt incurred
for the purpose of financing all or any  part of the purchase price or the  cost
of   substantially   repairing   or   altering,   constructing,   developing  or
substantially improving  the property  subject  to such  mortgages; or  (5)  any
extension,  renewal  or  replacement  (or  successive  extensions,  renewals  or
replacements), in whole or in part, of  any mortgage referred to in clauses  (1)
through  (4),  provided,  however,  that the  principal  amount  of indebtedness
secured thereby  and  not otherwise  authorized  by  said clauses  (1)  to  (4),
inclusive,  shall  not exceed  the principal  amount  of indebtedness,  plus any
premium or fee payable in connection with
 
                                       9
<PAGE>
any such  extension, renewal  or replacement,  so secured  at the  time of  such
extension,  renewal or replacement. However,  the foregoing restriction does not
apply to the issuance, assumption or guarantee by the Company of Debt secured by
a mortgage which would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions up  to
an  aggregate amount which, together with all  other secured Debt of the Company
(not including secured Debt  permitted under the  foregoing exceptions) and  the
Value  (as defined below) of Sale and Lease-Back Transactions (as defined below)
existing at such time (other than Sale and Lease-Back Transactions the  proceeds
of  which have been applied to the  retirement of certain indebtedness, Sale and
Lease-Back Transactions in which the property involved would have been permitted
to  be  mortgaged  under  the  foregoing  exceptions  and  Sale  and  Lease-Back
Transactions  that are permitted  by the first sentence  of "Limitations on Sale
and Lease-Back Transactions" below), does not  exceed the greater of 10% of  Net
Tangible  Assets (as defined below) or 10% of Capitalization (as defined below).
(Section 3.01 of  Form of  Supplemental Indenture).  The supplemental  indenture
relating  to  the  Prior  Senior  Notes  contains  a  covenant  with  respect to
limitations on liens substantively identical to the foregoing for the benefit of
the Prior Senior Notes. (Section 4.01 of Supplemental Indenture No. 1).
 
LIMITATIONS ON SALE AND LEASE-BACK TRANSACTIONS
 
    Unless otherwise  specified in  the  applicable Prospectus  Supplement  with
respect  to any series of Offered Notes, the related supplemental indenture will
provide that, from and after  the Release Date and for  so long as such  Offered
Notes  are outstanding, the Company  may not enter into  any Sale and Lease-Back
Transaction with respect to any Operating Property and will not permit to remain
in effect any Sale and  Lease-Back Transaction entered into  on or prior to  the
Release  Date with respect to  any Operating Property (except  in each case, for
transactions involving leases for a term,  including renewals, of not more  than
48  months), if the purchaser's commitment is obtained more than 18 months after
the later of the completion  of the acquisition or  the placing in operation  of
such  Operating  Property  or  of  such  Operating  Property  as  constructed or
developed or substantially repaired, altered or improved. This restriction  will
not  apply  if (a)  the Company  would  be entitled  pursuant to  the provisions
described in the  first sentence under  "Limitations on Liens"  above to  issue,
assume  or  guarantee Debt  secured  by a  mortgage  on such  Operating Property
without equally and ratably securing the Offered Notes and all series of  Senior
Notes  issued prior to  or contemporaneously with such  Offered Notes, (b) after
giving effect to such Sale and  Lease-Back Transaction, the Company could  incur
pursuant  to the provisions described in  the second sentence under "Limitations
on Liens," additional  Debt secured  by mortgages,  or (c)  the Company  applies
within  180 days an amount equal to, in the case of a sale or transfer for cash,
the net proceeds (not exceeding the  net book value), and, otherwise, an  amount
equal  to  the fair  value  (as determined  by its  Board  of Directors)  of the
Operating Property so leased to the retirement of Senior Notes or other Debt  of
the  Company ranking senior  to, or equally  with, the Senior  Notes, subject to
reduction for Senior  Notes and  such Debt  retired during  such 180-day  period
otherwise  than pursuant to mandatory sinking  fund or prepayment provisions and
payments at stated maturity. (Section  3.02 of Form of Supplemental  Indenture).
The  supplemental  indenture  relating  to the  Prior  Senior  Notes  contains a
covenant with  respect  to  limitations  on  Sale  and  Lease-Back  Transactions
substantively  identical to  the foregoing for  the benefit of  the Prior Senior
Notes. (Section 4.02 of Supplemental Indenture No. 1).

               FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS AND FIRST MORTGAGE INDENTURE
 
GENERAL
 
    Any series of Senior Note Mortgage Bonds issued as security for Senior Notes
will be a series of First Mortgage Bonds issued under the Trust Indenture  dated
February  1, 1945 as  heretofore supplemented and  amended by supplemental trust
indentures and a new supplemental trust indenture for such series of Senior Note
Mortgage Bonds  (the "New  Supplemental  Indenture"), all  from the  Company  to
Boatmen's  First National  Bank of  Oklahoma, as  successor Trustee  (the "First
Mortgage Trustee") to The First National Bank and Trust Company of Oklahoma City
(such Trust Indenture,  as supplemented  and as  to be  supplemented, is  herein
referred  to as  the "First Mortgage  Indenture"). Copies of  the First Mortgage
Indenture, the  supplemental indentures  and the  form of  the New  Supplemental
Indenture  are filed  as exhibits  to the  Registration Statement  of which this
Prospectus is a part. The following summaries of certain provisions of the First
Mortgage Indenture  do  not purport  to  be complete  and  are subject  to,  and
qualified  in their entirety  by, the detailed provisions  of the First Mortgage
Indenture which are incorporated herein by this reference. References to Article
and Section numbers  under this caption  are references to  Article and  Section
numbers  of the First Mortgage Indenture  unless otherwise indicated. Unless the
context indicates  otherwise, words  or phrases  defined in  the First  Mortgage
Indenture are capitalized and used with the same meanings herein. As of December
31,  1995, 11 series of First Mortgage Bonds in an aggregate principal amount of
$653.5 million currently  are outstanding  under the  First Mortgage  Indenture,
including  two series  of Senior Note  Mortgage Bonds in  an aggregate principal
amount of $220 million issued as security for the Prior Senior Notes.
 
TERMS OF SENIOR NOTE MORTGAGE BONDS
 
    Prior to the Release Date and upon the issuance of a series of Senior  Notes
(including New Notes), a series of Senior Note Mortgage Bonds will be issued and
delivered  to the Senior Note Trustee in  an aggregate principal amount equal to
the aggregate principal amount of such series of Senior Notes and with the  same
stated  rate or rates of  interest (or interest calculated  in the same manner),
interest payment dates, stated maturity  date and redemption provisions as  such
series  of Senior Notes. The Company's obligations to make payments with respect
to the principal of, premium, if any, and/or interest on a series of Senior Note
Mortgage Bonds shall be fully  or partially, as the  case may be, discharged  to
the  extent that, at the time  that any such payment shall  be due, the then due
principal of, premium, if any, and/or  interest on the related series of  Senior
Notes shall have been fully or partially paid or there shall have been deposited
with  the Senior Note  Trustee pursuant to the  Senior Note Indenture sufficient
funds to fully or partially pay the then due principal, premium, if any,  and/or
interest on such series of Senior Notes.
 
SECURITY FOR SENIOR NOTE MORTGAGE BONDS
 
    In  the opinions of counsel for the Company, the Senior Note Mortgage Bonds,
when issued, will be secured by the First Mortgage Indenture, which  constitutes
a  first mortgage lien,  subject only to Permissible  Encumbrances, upon all the
property of the Company  (except as summarized in  the following paragraph)  for
the  equal pro rata security of each  series of First Mortgage Bonds, subject to
the provisions related to any  sinking fund or similar  fund for the benefit  of
First  Mortgage Bonds of any particular series. The opinion does not cover title
to easements or  rights-of-way as  counsel believes the  expense of  examination
would  exceed the cost of acquiring,  by condemnation or purchase, any easements
or rights-of-way held under defective titles.
 
    There are excepted  from the lien  of the First  Mortgage Indenture  certain
securities, cash, contracts, receivables, motor vehicles, merchandise, equipment
and  supplies, and  certain non-utility real  property. (Granting  Clause of the
First Mortgage Indenture)  The First  Mortgage Indenture is  not a  lien on  the
properties  of  any subsidiary  of the  Company, nor  is the  stock of  any such
subsidiary pledged under the First Mortgage Indenture.
 
    The First Mortgage Indenture contains provisions for subjecting to the  lien
thereof  (subject to the limitations in Article  XV in the case of consolidation
or merger) all property acquired by the Company
 
                                       12
<PAGE>
after the date of the First Mortgage  Indenture other than property of the  kind
mentioned  in the  preceding paragraph. (Granting  Clause of  the First Mortgage
Indenture) Such provisions might not be effective as to property acquired within
the 90-day period immediately preceding or acquired subsequent to the filing  of
a case with respect to the Company under the United States Bankruptcy Code.
 
MAINTENANCE PROVISIONS
 
    As a Maintenance Fund for the First Mortgage Bonds, the Company covenants to
pay  to the First Mortgage Trustee  annually on May 1 an  amount equal to 15% of
its Gross Operating Revenues  for the preceding  calendar year, after  deducting
from such revenues (i) cost of electricity purchased for resale and (ii) rentals
paid  for  utility  property,  less  credits at  the  Company's  option  for (a)
maintenance,  (b)  property  retirements  offset  by  Permanent  Additions,  (c)
retirements  of  First  Mortgage  Bonds, (d)  Amounts  of  Established Permanent
Additions and (e)  15% of the  portion of Gross  Operating Revenues during  such
calendar  year attributable to increases since January 6, 1975, in the Company's
cost of fuel used in electric generation. Withdrawals from the Maintenance  Fund
may  be made on the basis of retirements  of First Mortgage Bonds and Amounts of
Established Permanent Additions,  but cash  in excess of  $100,000 remaining  on
deposit  in the Maintenance  Fund for more than  two years must  be used for the
retirement of First Mortgage Bonds. Any such retirement through redemption would
be at the applicable regular redemption price of the First Mortgage Bonds to  be
redeemed and subject to any restriction on the redemption of such First Mortgage
Bonds.  (Article IX, Section 3.03 of Supplemental Indenture dated March 1, 1952,
and Section 1.01 of Supplemental Indenture dated September 14, 1976)
 
    The Company has covenanted  to maintain its  properties in adequate  repair,
working  order and condition.  The First Mortgage  Indenture contains provisions
for a  periodic  inspection  of  the  Company's  properties  and  report  by  an
independent engineer as to compliance with this covenant. (Section 8.06)
 
SINKING FUND PROVISIONS
 
    As  an annual  sinking fund  for each  series of  First Mortgage  Bonds, the
Company covenants to pay to the First Mortgage Trustee annually on December 1 an
amount sufficient  to redeem,  on the  following February  1, for  sinking  fund
purposes,  1 1/4%  of the  highest principal amount  at any  time outstanding of
First Mortgage Bonds  of the series  for which the  sinking fund is  applicable.
Sinking fund payments may be offset by (a) application of Amounts of Established
Permanent  Additions equal to 166 2/3% of the principal amount of First Mortgage
Bonds which would otherwise be  required to be retired  by the sinking fund  and
(b) retirement or delivery to the First Mortgage Trustee of First Mortgage Bonds
of  the series  for which  the sinking  fund is  applicable. The  First Mortgage
Trustee is required to apply sinking fund money to the purchase or redemption of
First Mortgage Bonds of the series for which such funds are applicable. (Article
XII and Section 3.01 of Supplemental Indenture dated February 1, 1980)
 
ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL BONDS
 
    Additional First Mortgage Bonds secured by the First Mortgage Indenture  may
be  issued on the basis of (a) 60% of the Cost or Fair Value, whichever is less,
of net Permanent Additions (which become available upon proper certification  by
the  Company),  after  making  the required  deductions  on  account  of Retired
Property (Article V); (b)  an equal principal amount  of retired First  Mortgage
Bonds,  the  retirement whereof  has  not been  otherwise  used under  the First
Mortgage Indenture (Article VI); and (c) deposit of an equal amount of cash with
the First Mortgage Trustee, which cash  may be withdrawn by applying Amounts  of
Established  Permanent Additions equal to 166 2/3%  of such cash to be withdrawn
or by  retirement of  First Mortgage  Bonds. (Article  VII and  Section 3.04  of
Supplemental  Indenture dated March 1, 1952)  No additional First Mortgage Bonds
may be issued on basis (a), basis  (b) under specified conditions or basis  (c),
unless  the Earnings  Applicable to Bond  Interest for  a specified twelve-month
period are equal to twice the annual interest requirements on the First Mortgage
Bonds including  those  about to  be  issued.  (Sections 5.03,  6.01  and  7.01)
Earnings  Applicable to Bond  Interest for the twelve  months ended December 31,
1995, would be 5.1 times the annual
 
                                       13
<PAGE>
interest requirement on the  First Mortgage Bonds of  the Company at an  assumed
8.2%  interest rate. Additional First Mortgage Bonds may vary from the New Bonds
as to maturity, interest  rate, redemption prices, sinking  fund and in  certain
other respects. (Article II) The Senior Note Mortgage Bonds will be issued under
(a)  and/or  (b)  above. At  December  31,  1995, the  amount  of  net Permanent
Additions which  may  be used  for  the issuance  of  First Mortgage  Bonds  was
approximately  $1.1 billion. At  December 31, 1995, the  amount of retired First
Mortgage Bonds which may be  used for the issuance  of First Mortgage Bonds  was
$259 million.
 
PROVISIONS OF FIRST MORTGAGE INDENTURE LIMITING DIVIDENDS ON COMMON STOCK
 
    The  Company  covenants  that,  so  long as  any  First  Mortgage  Bonds are
outstanding, earned surplus  (retained earnings)  equal to  the sum  of (1)  the
amount  by which the aggregate of (a) provisions for retirement and depreciation
and (b) expenditures for  maintenance, during the period  from June 1, 1955,  to
the  last date for which a statement of income is available, is less than 15% of
Gross Operating  Revenues  (after  deducting  cost  of  electricity  and/or  gas
purchased for resale, rentals paid for utility property and the portion of gross
operating  revenues  attributable to  increases since  January  6, 1975,  in the
Company's cost of fuel used in electric generation) for that period and (2)  the
amount,  if  any, by  which  all of  the consideration  paid  by the  Company in
acquiring any  shares  of its  Common  Stock  during the  above  period  exceeds
$217,301,128  plus any consideration received by the Company from the sale after
September 30, 1991 of its Common Stock,  shall not be available for the  payment
of cash dividends on Common Stock; and that the Company shall not acquire shares
of  its Common Stock for a valuable  consideration if after such acquisition the
sum of  (1)  and  (2) above  would  exceed  its then  earned  surplus  (retained
earnings).  (Section  3.01  of  Supplemental Indenture  dated  January  1, 1957,
Section 1.01 of Supplemental Indenture dated September 14, 1976 and Section 1.01
of Supplemental Indenture dated December 9, 1991)
 
RELEASE PROVISIONS
 
    The First Mortgage Indenture contains provisions permitting the release from
its lien  of any  property upon  depositing or  pledging cash  or certain  other
property  of comparable Fair Value (Fair Value being defined in substance as the
current value of the property as certified by an engineer, appraiser or  similar
expert).   The  First  Mortgage  Indenture  also  contains  provisions  for  the
cancellation, change or alteration of  leases, rights-of-way and easements,  and
for  the surrender  and modification  of any  franchise or  governmental consent
subject to certain restrictions, in each case without any release or consent  by
the  First  Mortgage Trustee  or  accountability thereto  for  any consideration
received by the Company. (Article XI)
 
MODIFICATION OF THE FIRST MORTGAGE INDENTURE
 
    With the  consent of  the  Company, the  provisions  of the  First  Mortgage
Indenture  may  be changed  by the  affirmative vote  of the  holders of  70% in
principal amount  of the  First Mortgage  Bonds then  outstanding except,  among
other  things, the maturity  of a First  Mortgage Bond may  not be extended, the
interest rate reduced nor the terms of payment of principal or interest  changed
without the consent of the holder of such First Mortgage Bond. (Article XVIII)
 
CONCERNING THE FIRST MORTGAGE TRUSTEE
 
    Boatmen's  First National  Bank of  Oklahoma is  the First  Mortgage Trustee
under the First Mortgage Indenture. The Company maintains banking  relationships
in  the ordinary course of  business with the First  Mortgage Trustee. The First
Mortgage Trustee also serves as trustee for the Senior Notes.
 
    In case of a Completed Default  under the First Mortgage Indenture (see  "--
Events  of Default" below), the First Mortgage  Trustee may, and upon request of
the holders of a majority in principal amount of the First Mortgage Bonds shall,

Default,  it is obligatory upon the First Mortgage Trustee to take the action or
actions provided in the First Mortgage Indenture to enforce payment of the First
Mortgage Bonds  and  for the  enforcement  of the  lien  of the  First  Mortgage
Indenture    upon    being    requested    to    do    so    by    the   holders
 
                                       14

of a majority in  principal amount of  the First Mortgage  Bonds and upon  being
indemnified  against the costs, expenses and  liabilities to be incurred therein

known  to the First Mortgage Trustee, unless  such default shall have been cured
before the giving of such notice; provided that, except in the case of a default
resulting from the failure to  make any payment of  principal of or interest  on
any  First Mortgage Bonds or to make  any sinking fund or purchase fund payment,
the First Mortgage Trustee may withhold  such notice upon determination in  good
faith by the board of directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of
directors  and/or responsible  officers of the  First Mortgage  Trustee that the
withholding of  such notice  is in  the interest  of the  bondholders.  (Section

Securities  will be issued as fully-registered securities registered in the name
of Cede  & Co.  (DTC's  partnership nominee).  DTC  is a  limited-purpose  trust
company  organized  under the  New York  Banking  Law, a  "banking organization"
within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal  Reserve
System,  a "clearing  corporation" within  the meaning  of the  New York Uniform
Commercial Code, and a "clearing  agency" registered pursuant to the  provisions
of  Section 17A of the Exchange Act.  DTC holds securities that its participants
("Participants") deposit with  DTC. DTC  also facilitates  the settlement  among
Participants  of  securities transactions,  such  as transfers  and  pledges, in
deposited securities  through  electronic  computerized  book-entry  changes  in
Participants'  accounts, thereby eliminating  the need for  physical movement of
securities certificates. "Direct  Participants" include  securities brokers  and
dealers,  banks,  trust  companies,  clearing  corporations,  and  certain other
organizations. DTC is owned by  a number of its  Direct Participants and by  the
New  York  Stock Exchange,  Inc.,  the American  Stock  Exchange, Inc.,  and the
National Association of  Securities Dealers, Inc.  Access to the  DTC system  is
also  available to  others such  as securities  brokers and  dealers, banks, and
trust companies that clear through or  maintain a custodial relationship with  a
Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly ("Indirect Participants"). The
rules applicable to DTC and its Participants are on file with the Commission.
 
    Purchases  of New  Notes under  the DTC  system must  be made  by or through
Direct Participants, which  will receive  a credit for  the New  Notes on  DTC's
records.  The  ownership interest  of  each actual  purchaser  of each  New Note
("Beneficial Owner")  is in  turn to  be  recorded on  the Direct  and  Indirect
Participants'  records. Beneficial Owners will  not receive written confirmation
from DTC  of their  purchase,  but Beneficial  Owners  are expected  to  receive
written  confirmation providing details of the  transaction, as well as periodic
statements of their holdings,  from the Direct  or Indirect Participant  through
which  the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership
interests in the New Notes are to  be accomplished by entries made on the  books
of  Participants acting on  behalf of Beneficial  Owners. Beneficial Owners will
not receive  certificates  representing their  ownership  interests in  the  New
Notes,  except in the event that use of  the book-entry system for the New Notes
is discontinued.
 
    To facilitate subsequent transfers, all New Notes deposited by  Participants
with DTC are registered in the name of DTC's partnership nominee, Cede & Co. The
deposit  of the New Notes with DTC and  their registration in the name of Cede &
Co. effect no change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual
Beneficial Owners of the New Notes so deposited; DTC's records reflect only  the
identity  of  the  Direct Participants  to  whose  accounts such  New  Notes are
credited, which may or may not  be the Beneficial Owners. The Participants  will
remain  responsible  for keeping  account  of the  holdings  on behalf  of their
customers.
 
    Conveyance  of  notices   and  other   communications  by   DTC  to   Direct
Participants,  by Direct  Participants to  Indirect Participants,  and by Direct
Participants or Indirect Participants to  Beneficial Owners will be governed  by
arrangements  among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as
may be in effect from time to time.
 
    If the Global Securities are redeemable, redemption notices shall be sent to
Cede & Co. If less than all  of the Global Securities are being redeemed,  DTC's
practice  is  to determine  by lot  the amount  of the  interest of  each Direct
Participant in such issue to be redeemed.
 
                                       16
<PAGE>
    Neither DTC nor  Cede & Co.  will consent or  vote with respect  to the  New
Notes.  Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to the Company as
soon as possible after the record date.  The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede &  Co.'s
consenting  or voting rights to those  Direct Participants to whose accounts the
New Notes are credited on the record  date (identified in a listing attached  to
the Omnibus Proxy).
 
    Principal,  interest and any premium payments on  the New Notes will be made
to DTC. DTC's practice is to credit Direct Participants' accounts on the payable
date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC's records  unless
DTC has reason to believe that it will not receive payment on such payable date.
Payments  by  Participants to  Beneficial Owners  will  be governed  by standing
instructions and customary practices,  as in the case  with securities held  for
the  accounts of customers  in bearer form  or registered in  "street name," and
will be the responsibility of such Participant  and not of DTC, the Senior  Note
Trustee  or the Company, subject to  any statutory or regulatory requirements as
may be in  effect from  time to  time. Payment  of principal,  interest and  any
premium  to DTC is the responsibility of the Company or the Senior Note Trustee,
disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants shall be the responsibility
of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners shall be  the
responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants.
 
    DTC  may discontinue  providing its  services as  securities depository with
respect to a series of New Notes at any time by giving reasonable notice to  the
Company  or the  Senior Note Trustee.  Under such circumstances,  if a successor
securities depository is not obtained, certificates for such series of New Notes
are required to be printed and delivered.
 
    The Company  may decide  to  discontinue use  of  the system  of  book-entry
transfers  through DTC (or a successor  securities depository) for any series of
New Notes. In  that event, certificates  for such  series of New  Notes will  be
printed and delivered.
 
    The  information in this section concerning  DTC and DTC's book-entry system
has been obtained  from DTC, and  the Company and  any underwriters, dealers  or
agents take no responsibility for the accuracy thereof.
 
    The  underwriters,  dealers or  agents of  any Offered  Notes may  be Direct
Participants of DTC.
 
    NONE OF THE COMPANY, THE SENIOR NOTE TRUSTEE, THE FIRST MORTGAGE TRUSTEE, OR
ANY AGENT FOR PAYMENT ON OR REGISTRATION  OF TRANSFER OR EXCHANGE OF THE  GLOBAL
SECURITY WILL HAVE ANY RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY FOR ANY ASPECT OF THE RECORDS
RELATING  TO OR PAYMENTS MADE ON ACCOUNT  OF BENEFICIAL INTERESTS IN SUCH GLOBAL
SECURITY OR FOR MAINTAINING,  SUPERVISING OR REVIEWING  ANY RECORDS RELATING  TO
SUCH BENEFICIAL INTERESTS.

ITEM 17.  UNDERTAKINGS
 
    The   undersigned  Registrant,  hereby  undertakes  that,  for  purposes  of
determining any liability  under the Securities  Act of 1933,  as amended,  each
filing  of the Registrant's  annual report pursuant to  Section 13(a) or Section

    Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities  Act
of  1933 may be permitted to directors,  officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant  to  the  provisions  described  under  Item  15  above,  or
otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities
and  Exchange  Commission  such  indemnification  is  against  public  policy as
expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim
for indemnification  against such  liabilities (other  than the  payment by  the
Registrant  of expenses incurred  or paid by a  director, officer of controlling
person of  the Registrant  in the  successful  defense of  any action,  suit  or
proceeding)  is  asserted by  such director,  officer  or controlling  person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless  in
the  opinion  of its  counsel the  matter  has been  settled by  the controlling
precedent, submit to a  court of appropriate  jurisdiction the question  whether
such  indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
 
    The undersigned Registrant hereby also undertakes:
 
        (1) to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being  made,
    a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
 
        (i)  to include  any prospectus  required by Section  10 (a)  (3) of the
           Securities Act of 1933;
 
        (ii) to reflect in the prospectus  any facts or event arising after  the
           effective  date of  this Registration  Statement (or  the most recent
           post-effective amendment  thereto)  which,  individually  or  in  the
           aggregate,  represent  a fundamental  change  in the  information set
           forth in this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the  foregoing,
           any  increase or  decrease in  volume of  securities offered  (if the
           total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that  which
           was  registered) and any  deviation from the  low or high  end of the
           estimated maximum  offering range  may be  reflected in  the form  of
           prospectus  filed with the Commission pursuant  to Rule 424(b) if, in
           the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than
           a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the
           "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration
           statement; and
 
        (iii) to include any  material information with respect  to the plan  of
           distribution  not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement
           or any  material  change to  such  information in  this  Registration
           Statement;
 
provided,  however,  that paragraphs  (1)(i)  and (1)(ii)  do  not apply  if the
information required  to be  included  in a  post-effective amendment  by  those
paragraphs  is contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to
Section 13 or  Section 15(d) of  the Securities  Exchange Act of  1934 that  are
incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
 
        (2)  that,  for  the  purpose of  determining  any  liability  under the
    Securities Act of 1933, each  such post-effective amendment shall be  deemed
    to  be  a  new registration  statement  relating to  the  securities offered
    therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to
    be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
        (3) to remove from registration  by means of a post-effective  amendment
    any   of  the  securities  being  registered  which  remain  unsold  at  the
    termination of the offering.

        (4) that,  for  the purposes  of  determining any  liability  under  the
    Securities Act of 1933:
 
        (i) The information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of
           this  Registration Statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained
           in the form of prospectus filed by the Registration pursuant to  Rule
           424(b)(1)  or (4) or 497(h) under  the Securities Act shall be deemed
           to be  part of  this Registration  Statement as  of the  time it  was
           declared effective.
 
        (ii)  Each post-effective amendment  that contains a  form of prospectus
           shall be deemed to  be a new Registration  Statement relating to  the
           securities  offered therein, and  the offering of  such securities at
           that time  shall be  deemed  to be  the  initial bona  fide  offering
           thereof.

To the Representatives named in
Schedule I hereto of the Underwriters
named in Schedule II hereto.
 
Ladies and Gentlemen:
 
    1.     INTRODUCTION.    Oklahoma  Gas  and  Electric  Company,  an  Oklahoma
corporation (the "Company"), proposes to  issue and sell $               of  its
    %  Senior Notes, due           ,      (the "Senior Notes"). The Senior Notes
will be issued by the Company under its Indenture  dated as of           ,
between  the Company and                ,          , as trustee (the "Trustee"),
as amended  and  supplemented  by  Supplemental Indenture  No.  1  dated  as  of
         ,      creating the series in  which the Senior Notes are to be issued.
The term "Indenture,"  as hereinafter  used, means  such Indenture  dated as  of
         ,     , as so amended and supplemented. The Company proposes to sell to
the  underwriters named in  Schedule II hereto  (the "Underwriters", which term,
when the  context permits,  shall  also include  any substitute  underwriter  as
provided  in Section 9 hereof)  for whom you are  acting as Representatives (the
"Representatives") Senior Notes in the  aggregate principal amount and with  the
terms  specified in Schedule I hereto (the "Purchased Senior Notes"). Until such
time as all  of the first  mortgage bonds  of the Company  (the "First  Mortgage
Bonds")  issued prior  to the  date of the  Indenture have  been retired through
payment or redemption (the "Release Date"), the Senior Notes will be secured  as
to  payment of principal  and interest by  one or more  series of First Mortgage
Bonds issued, pledged and delivered by the Company to the Trustee.  Concurrently
with  the offering of the  Senior Notes, the Company  proposes to issue and sell
$         of its     % Senior Notes  due          ,     (the "Additional  Senior
Notes").  The sale of the  Additional Senior Notes and  the Senior Notes are not
contingent upon each other.

and warrants to, and agrees with, the Underwriters that:
 
        (a)  The Company has  filed with the  Securities and Exchange Commission
    (the "Commission")     registration statements on Form S-3 (having the  file

    principal amount  of its  Senior Notes  and First  Mortgage Bonds,  and  the
    offering  thereof from time  to time in  accordance with Rule  415 under the
    Securities Act  of  1933,  as  amended  (the  "Act"),  and  has  filed  such

    Exchange  Act of  1934, as  amended (the  "Exchange Act"),  are collectively

    relating  to the  Senior Notes and  the First Mortgage  Bonds, including all

    as  the "Prospectus"; provided that a  supplement to the Prospectus relating
    to an offering of Senior Notes  other than the Purchased Senior Notes  shall
    be  deemed  to have  supplemented the  Prospectus only  with respect  to the
    offering of such other Senior Notes. All documents filed by the Company with
    the Commission  under the  Exchange Act  and incorporated  or deemed  to  be
    incorporated  by reference in the  Registration Statement or the Prospectus,

    stated  therein or necessary to make  the statements therein not misleading;
    and the Prospectus, at the time Registration Statement No.            became
    effective,  did not, as  of the date hereof  does not and  as of the Closing
    Date will not  contain an untrue  statement of  a material fact  or 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;
    provided  that the representations and warranties in this Section 2(b) shall
    not apply to (A) that part  of the Registration Statement which  constitutes
    the  Statements of Eligibility and Qualification  (Form T-1) under the Trust
    Indenture Act  (the "Statements  of  Eligibility") of  the Trustee  and  the
    trustee  for  the First  Mortgage Bonds,  (B)  information contained  in the
    Registration Statement or  the Prospectus relating  to The Depository  Trust

    Representative expressly  for  use  in the  Registration  Statement  or  the
    Prospectus.
 
        (c)             , the accountants who certified certain of the financial
    statements  included  or  incorporated  by  reference  in  the  Registration
    Statement or  the Prospectus  (the  "Accountants"), are  independent  public
    accountants  as required  by the  Act and the  rules and  regulations of the
    Commission thereunder.
 
        (d) The financial  statements included or  incorporated by reference  in
    the  Prospectus present fairly the financial position, results of operations
    and cash flows of  the Company and its  consolidated subsidiaries as at  the
    respective  dates and  for the respective  periods specified  and, except as
    otherwise stated  in the  Prospectus, said  financial statements  have  been
    prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applied
    on  a  consistent  basis  during the  periods  involved  and  the supporting
    schedules  included  in  the  Registration  Statement  present  fairly   the
    information  required  to be  stated therein.  The  Company has  no material
    contingent obligation which is not disclosed in the Prospectus.
 
        (e) Except as set forth in or expressly contemplated by the  Prospectus,
    no  material transaction has been entered into  by the Company or any of its
    subsidiaries otherwise  than  in the  ordinary  course of  business  and  no
    materially  adverse  change  has  occurred in  the  condition,  financial or
    otherwise, of the Company, or of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken  as
    a  whole, in each case since the respective dates as of which information is
    given in the Prospectus.
 
        (f) The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in
    good standing under the laws  of the State of  Oklahoma, is qualified to  do
    business  as a foreign corporation and is in good standing under the laws of
    the State of Arkansas, and  is not required to qualify  to do business as  a
    foreign  corporation in any other jurisdiction,  and has the corporate power
    to own its properties and carry on its business as now being conducted.
 
        (g) Each subsidiary of the Company  and each subsidiary of a  subsidiary
    of  the Company,  together with its  respective state  of incorporation, are
    listed on Exhibit A hereto (hereinafter
 
                                       2
<PAGE>
    referred to  collectively  as  the  "Subsidiaries"  and  individually  as  a
    "Subsidiary").  The Subsidiaries are the  only "subsidiaries" of the Company
    as defined  under  Regulation S-X  under  the  Exchange Act  and  except  as
    otherwise  noted on Exhibit  A hereto, are  wholly-owned subsidiaries of the
    Company. Each Subsidiary is a  corporation duly organized, validly  existing
    and  in good standing under the laws of its State of incorporation, as noted
    on Exhibit A hereto, and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation in  each
    jurisdiction  in which its failure to  qualify would have a material adverse
    effect on the  business or operations  of the Company  and its  Subsidiaries
    taken as a whole and has the corporate power to own its properties and carry
    on  its business as now  being conducted; all of  the issued and outstanding

    free  and  clear   of  any  security   interest,  mortgage,  pledge,   lien,
    encumbrance, claim or equity.
 
        (h)  Neither  the Company  nor  any Subsidiary  is  in violation  of its
    Certificate of Incorporation, or in default in the performance or observance
    of any material  obligation, agreement, covenant  or condition contained  in
    any  mortgage or any material contract,  indenture, mortgage, lease, note or
    other instrument to which it is  a party or by which  it may be bound or  to
    which any of its properties or assets is subject, or materially in violation
    of  any  law, administrative  regulation  or administrative,  arbitration or
    court order, except in each case to such  extent as may be set forth in  the
    Prospectus; and the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the incurrence
    of the obligations herein set forth and the consummation of the transactions
    herein  contemplated will  not conflict with  or constitute a  breach of, or
    default under, the Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws of the Company or
    any Subsidiary or any mortgage, contract, lease, note or other instrument to
    which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party or by which it may be  bound,
    or  any law,  regulation, consent  decree or  administrative, arbitration or
    court order.

    Commission") have each duly authorized the  issuance and sale of the  Senior
    Notes  and the First Mortgage Bonds on terms consistent with this Agreement.
    No  consent  of  or  approval  by   any  other  public  board  or  body   or
    administrative  agency,  federal or  state,  is necessary  to  authorize the

    that  there must  be compliance  with the securities  laws of  the states in
    which the Senior Notes and the First Mortgage Bonds are to be sold.
 
        (j)  There  is no pending  or threatened suit  or proceeding before  any
    court or governmental agency, authority or body or any arbitration involving
    the  Company or  any Subsidiary required  to be disclosed  in the Prospectus
    which is  not  adequately disclosed  in  the  Prospectus and  there  are  no
    contracts  or documents required to be filed as exhibits to the Registration
    Statement under the 1933 Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission
    thereunder which have not been so filed.
 
        (k) This Agreement has been  duly authorized, executed and delivered  by

    terms, except to the extent that enforceability may be limited by applicable
    bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting
    creditors' rights  generally  and  to  the  extent  that  general  equitable
    principles  may limit the right to obtain the remedy of specific performance
    of certain of the obligations thereunder. The Purchased Senior Notes are  in
    due  and proper form and, when duly executed, authenticated and delivered to
    the Trustee against  the agreed  consideration therefor, will  be valid  and
    enforceable
 
                                       3
<PAGE>
    obligations  of  the  Company  in accordance  with  their  terms.  The First
    Mortgage Bonds  which are  delivered  to the  Trustee  as security  for  the
    payment  of principal of and premium, if  any, and interest on the Purchased
    Senior  Notes  are  in  due  and  proper  form  and,  when  duly   executed,
    authenticated  and delivered to the Trustee  in accordance with the terms of
    the Indenture, will be valid and  enforceable obligations of the Company  in
    accordance  with their  terms, secured  by the lien  of and  entitled to the
    benefits provided by the First Mortgage Indenture.
 
        (n) The Company has good and  sufficient title to each of the  principal
    plants  and properties purported to  be owned by it,  subject to the lien of
    the First Mortgage  Indenture, and  to permissible  encumbrances as  therein
    defined.
 
        (o)  Except for changes  contemplated by the  Prospectus, the authorized
    and outstanding  capital  stock  of the  Company  is  as set  forth  in  the
    Prospectus.
 
        (p)  The Company meets the requirements for filing on Form S-3 under the
    Act.
 
    Any certificate signed by any officer of the Company and delivered to you or
to counsel for the Underwriters shall be deemed a representation and warranty by
the Company to each Underwriter as to the matters covered thereby.
 
    3.  PURCHASE, OFFERING AND DELIVERY --  CLOSING DATE.  Subject to the  terms
and conditions herein set forth, the Company agrees to sell to each Underwriter,
and  each Underwriter  agrees, severally and  not jointly, to  purchase from the
Company at the  purchase price  set forth in  Schedule I  hereto, the  principal
amount  of the Purchased Senior Notes set forth opposite such Underwriter's name
in Schedule II hereto. It is  understood that the Underwriters propose to  offer
the Purchased Senior Notes for sale to the public as set forth in the Prospectus
Supplement,  as hereinafter defined, relating to the Purchased Senior Notes. The
Company will deliver the Purchased Senior  Notes to the Representatives for  the
respective accounts of the Underwriters (in fully registered form issued in such
names  and in such denominations as the  Representatives may direct by notice in
writing to the Company given at or prior to           .M.,         Time, on  the
second full business day preceding the Closing Date, or, if no such direction is
received,  in the names of the respective Underwriters), at the office specified
in Schedule I  hereto, against  payment of the  purchase price  thereof by  wire
transfer or similar same day funds, payable to such account as the Company shall
direct  by  notice  in writing  to  the  Representatives given  at  or  prior to
         .M.         Time on the second full business day preceding the  Closing
Date.  The time  and date  of delivery and  closing shall  be the  time and date
specified in  Schedule  I  hereto;  provided  that such  time  or  date  may  be
accelerated   or   extended   by   agreement  between   the   Company   and  the
Representatives. The  time and  date of  such payment  and delivery  are  herein
sometimes referred to as the "Closing Date."
 
    The  Company  agrees to  make the  Purchased Senior  Notes available  to the
Representatives at the office specified in Schedule I hereto for examination  on
behalf  of the Underwriters, not later than           .M.,          Time, on the
business day preceding the Closing Date.
 
    It is understood that the  Representatives, either jointly or  individually,
and  not as representatives of  the several Underwriters, may  (but shall not be
obligated to)  make payment  to the  Company  on behalf  of any  Underwriter  or
Underwriters.   Any  such  payment   shall  not  relieve   such  Underwriter  or
Underwriters from any of its or their other obligations hereunder.
 
    The Representatives agree to  deposit with the  Company within two  business
days  after the date of this Agreement the amount set forth in Schedule I hereto
as the Oklahoma  Real Estate Mortgage  Tax. It is  understood that such  payment
shall not constitute partial or full payment for the Purchased Senior Notes, but
shall be applied solely in accordance with Section 4(i) hereof.
 
    4.  AGREEMENTS.  The Company agrees with the several Underwriters that:
 
        (a)  Promptly following  execution of  this Agreement,  the Company will
    cause the  Prospectus, including  as part  thereof a  prospectus  supplement
    relating  to the Purchased Senior Notes (the "Prospectus Supplement"), to be
    filed   with    the    Commission    pursuant    to    Rule    424    and/or
 
                                       4
<PAGE>
    Rule   434  under  the  Act  and   the  Company  will  promptly  advise  the
    Representatives when such  filing or mailing  has been made.  Prior to  such
    filing  or mailing, the  Company will cooperate  with the Representatives in
    the  preparation  of   the  Prospectus   Supplement  to   assure  that   the
    Representatives  have no reasonable objection to the form or content thereof
    when filed.
 
        (b) The Company will promptly advise the Representatives and confirm  in
    writing  (i) when  any amendment  to the  Registration Statement  shall have
    become effective, (ii) of the receipt  of any comments from the  Commission,
    (iii) of any request by the Commission for any amendment of the Registration
    Statement or amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or for any additional
    information,  (iv)  of the  issuance  by the  Commission  of any  stop order
    suspending  the  effectiveness   of  the  Registration   Statement  or   the
    institution or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose and (v) of the
    receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of
    the  qualification of the Purchased Senior Notes or the First Mortgage Bonds
    for sale  in  any jurisdiction  or  the  initiation or  threatening  of  any
    proceeding  for such purpose. The Company will not file any amendment to the
    Registration Statement or supplement to  the Prospectus with the  Commission
    unless  the Company has furnished you a copy for your review prior to filing
    and will not  file any such  proposed amendment or  supplement to which  the
    Representatives  or  counsel  for the  Underwriters  reasonably  object. The
    Company will use its best efforts to  prevent the issuance of any such  stop
    order and, if issued, to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal thereof.
 
        (c)  If, at any time when a  prospectus relating to the Purchased Senior
    Notes or the First Mortgage Bonds is required to be delivered under the Act,
    any event occurs  as a result  of which  the Prospectus as  then amended  or
    supplemented would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
    state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light
    of  the circumstances under which  they were made, not  misleading, or if it
    shall be necessary to amend or supplement the Registration Statement or  the
    Prospectus  to comply  with the  Act or  the Exchange  Act or  the rules and
    regulations of the  Commission under  such Acts, the  Company promptly  will
    prepare  and  file with  the Commission,  subject to  paragraph (b)  of this
    Section 4, an amendment or supplement or a filing pursuant to Section 13  or
    14  of the Exchange Act which will  correct such statement or omission or an
    amendment which will effect such compliance.
 
        (d) The Company will  make generally available  to its security  holders
    and to the Representatives a consolidated earnings statement (which need not
    be  audited) of the Company for the 12-month period beginning after the date
    of the Prospectus Supplement, as soon  as practicable after the end of  such
    12-month  period, which will satisfy the  provisions of Section 11(a) of the
    Act and the rules  and regulations of  the Commission thereunder  (including
    Rule 158 under the Act).
 
        (e)  The  Company  will  furnish  without  charge  to  (i)  each  of the
    Representatives and  counsel  for the  Underwriters  a signed  copy  of  the
    Registration  Statement (but without exhibits incorporated by reference), as
    originally filed, all amendments  thereto filed prior  to the Closing  Date,
    all   Incorporated  Documents  (including   exhibits,  other  than  exhibits
    incorporated by reference) and the Statements of Eligibility of the  Trustee
    and  the trustee for the First Mortgage Bonds, (ii) each other Underwriter a
    conformed copy  of the  Registration Statement  (but without  exhibits),  as
    originally  filed,  all amendments  thereto (but  without exhibits)  and all
    Incorporated Documents (but without exhibits other than the Company's latest
    annual report to shareowners) and (iii)  each Underwriter as many copies  of
    the  Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement and,  so long as delivery of a
    prospectus by an Underwriter  or dealer may be  required under the Act,  any
    amendments   thereof  and  supplements  thereto  (but  without  Incorporated
    Documents or exhibits), as soon as  available and in such quantities as  the
    Representatives may reasonably request.
 
        (f)   The  Company  will  use  its  best  efforts  to  arrange  for  the
    qualification of the Purchased Senior Notes and the First Mortgage Bonds for
    sale under  the  laws  of  such jurisdictions  as  the  Representatives  may
    designate  (provided that the Company shall not be obligated to qualify as a
    foreign corporation in, or to execute or file any general consent to service
    of process under the

        (b) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee, as security for the
    payment of the principal and interest on the Senior Notes, a series of First
    Mortgage Bonds (the "Bonds") in the same aggregate principal amount and with
    the  same stated rate  or rates of  interest (or interest  calculated in the

    Purchased Senior Notes they secure. The Bonds will be issued by the  Company
    under  its Trust Indenture  dated            ,       between the Company and
                  , as  successor  trustee  (the "First  Mortgage  Trustee")  to
                  ,  as heretofore amended and supplemented and as to be further
    amended and supplemented  by the  Supplemental Trust Indenture  dated as  of
             ,      creating the series in which the First Mortgage Bonds are to
    be issued. The term "First  Mortgage Indenture," as hereinafter used,  means
    such Trust Indenture dated          ,     , as so amended and supplemented.
 
        (c)  The Company shall have furnished to the Representatives the opinion
    of                , counsel for the Company ("Oklahoma counsel"), dated  the

           (i)  the Company is a legally  existing corporation under the laws of
       the State of Oklahoma and has corporate power, right and authority to  do
       business  and to own property in the  State of Oklahoma in the manner and
       as set forth in the Prospectus;
 
           (ii) the Indenture has been  duly and validly executed and  delivered
       by  the Company,  which has  full power and  authority to  enter into and
       perform its  obligations  thereunder,  and constitutes  the  binding  and
       enforceable agreement of the Company in accordance with its terms, except
       as  enforcement  of  provisions  of  the  Indenture  may  be  limited  by
       bankruptcy  or  other  applicable  laws  affecting  the  enforcement   of
       creditors' rights;
 
           (iii)  the Purchased Senior  Notes and the  First Mortgage Bonds have
       been duly and validly authorized by the Company and constitute valid  and
       binding obligations of the Company;
 
           (iv)  while, except as otherwise stated in said opinion, such counsel
       are not passing upon and do  not assume responsibility for and shall  not
       be  deemed to have  independently verified the  accuracy, completeness or
       fairness of the  Registration Statement  or the  Prospectus, nothing  has
       come  to the attention  of such counsel  that would lead  them to believe
       that the Registration Statement at the time it became effective contained
       an untrue statement  of a material  fact or omitted  to state a  material
       fact  required to be  stated therein or necessary  to make the statements
       therein not misleading or  that the Prospectus at  the time it was  filed
       pursuant to Rule 424 and/or Rule 434 under the Act or on the Closing Date
       contained  an untrue statement of  a material fact or  omitted 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;
 
           (v)  the  execution and  delivery of  this  Agreement have  been duly
       authorized by the necessary  action on the part  of the Company and  this
       Agreement  constitutes  the valid  and binding  agreement of  the Company
       except to the extent that the  provisions for indemnities may be held  to
       be unenforceable as against public policy;
 
          (vi)  except in localities where the  Company has no franchises, which
       are relatively few and not of large population, and where the failure  to
       have  such  franchises will  not have  a material  adverse effect  on the
       business or  operations  of  the  Company,  the  Company  has  sufficient
       authority under statutory provisions or by grant of franchises or permits
       by  municipalities or  counties to  conduct its  business in  Oklahoma as
       presently conducted and as described in the Prospectus;
 
          (vii) such  counsel  does  not  know  of  any  legal  or  governmental
       proceedings  required to  be described  in the  Prospectus which  are not
       described as required, nor of any contracts or

       Statement  or Prospectus or  to be filed as  exhibits to the Registration
       Statement which are not described and filed as required;
 
         (viii) the Indenture,  the Purchased Senior  Notes, the First  Mortgage
       Indenture  and  the  Bonds  conform  in  all  material  respects  to  the
       statements concerning them in the Prospectus;
 
          (ix) all  statements  contained  in  the  Registration  Statement  and
       Prospectus  purporting to  set forth  the advice  or the  opinion of such
       counsel or to  be based upon  the opinion of  such counsel correctly  set
       forth the opinion of such counsel on such respective matters;
 
           (x)  the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the issuance of
       the Purchased  Senior  Notes  and  the Bonds,  and  compliance  with  the
       provisions  thereof,  under  the  circumstances  contemplated  hereby and
       thereby, do not and will not violate the Certificate of Incorporation  or
       By-Laws  of the  Company or  any Subsidiary,  or in  any material respect
       conflict with or constitute on the part of the Company or any  Subsidiary
       a  breach of  or default  under any  indenture, lease,  mortgage, deed of
       trust, note, agreement or other instrument known to such counsel to which

          (xi) the Oklahoma Commission has duly issued its order authorizing the
       issuance  by the Company of  the Purchased Senior Notes  and the Bonds on
       terms consistent with this Agreement and,  to the best of such  counsel's
       knowledge, such order is still in force and effect; the issuance and sale
       of the Purchased Senior Notes to the Underwriters and the issuance of the
       Bonds  to the First Mortgage Trustee are  in conformity with the terms of
       such order; and no further approval, authorization, consent,  certificate
       or  order of any Oklahoma commission or regulatory authority is necessary
       with respect to the issuance and  sale of the Purchased Senior Notes  and
       the  issuance  of  the  Bonds  by the  Company  as  contemplated  in this
       Agreement, other than approvals that may be required under Oklahoma state
       securities laws;
 
          (xii) each Subsidiary is a legally existing corporation under the laws
       of the State of Oklahoma, has corporate power, right and authority to  do
       business  and to own property in the  State of Oklahoma in the manner and
       as set  forth in  the Prospectus,  and  is duly  qualified as  a  foreign
       corporation  in each jurisdiction  in which its  failure to qualify would

       be   limited  by  bankruptcy  or  other  applicable  laws  affecting  the
       enforcement of creditors' rights and  except as provisions of the  United
       States  Bankruptcy Code may affect the  validity of the lien thereof with

          (xv) The First Mortgage Indenture is in proper form, conforming to the
       laws  of the  State of  Oklahoma, to  give and  create the  lien which it
       purports to create  and has  been and  at the  Closing Date  is duly  and

       First Mortgage Indenture subject to the provisions of the First  Mortgage
       Indenture  relating to any sinking fund or a similar fund for the benefit
       of the first mortgage bonds of any particular series. The First  Mortgage
       Indenture  constitutes a first mortgage lien, subject only to permissible
       encumbrances, as defined in the First  Mortgage Indenture, on all of  the
       property,  real, personal,  and mixed  (except as  hereinafter noted), in

        (f) The Representatives shall have received from               , counsel
    for the Underwriters, such opinion or opinions, dated the Closing Date, with
    respect  to such matters related  to the issuance and  sale of the Purchased
    Senior Notes as the Representatives may reasonably require, and the  Company
    shall  have furnished to such counsel such documents as they request for the
    purpose of enabling them to pass upon such matters.
 
        (g) At the Closing Date there shall not have been, since the  respective
    dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement and the
    Prospectus,  any  material adverse  change  in the  condition,  financial or
    otherwise, of the Company or in the earnings, affairs or business  prospects
    of  the Company, whether or not arising  in the ordinary course of business,
    and the Representatives shall have received a certificate of the Chairman of
    the Board  and President  or a  Vice  President of  the Company,  dated  the
    Closing Date, to the effect that (i) there has been no such material adverse
    change,  (ii) the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement
    are true and correct with the same force and effect as though expressly made
    at and as  of the  Closing Date,  (iii) the  Company has  complied with  all
    agreements  and  satisfied all  conditions on  its part  to be  performed or
    satisfied at or prior to the Closing Date and (iv) no stop order  suspending
    the  effectiveness  of the  Registration Statement  has  been issued  and no
    proceedings for that  purpose have  been initiated or,  to their  knowledge,
    threatened by the Commission.
 
        (h)  At  the  date  of  this  Agreement  and  at  the  Closing  Date the
    Representatives shall receive  from the  Accountants a letter  (in form  and
    substance satisfactory to them) dated such dates to the effect that they are
    independent  public  accountants  within  the meaning  of  the  Act  and the
    applicable published rules and regulations thereunder and that the answer to
    Item 10 of Form S-3 is correct insofar as it relates to them, and stating in
    effect that (i)  in their  opinion, the financial  statements and  schedules
    audited  by them  and contained in  the Incorporated Documents  comply as to
    form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of
    the  Act,  the  Exchange  Act  and  the  published  rules  and   regulations
    thereunder; (ii) they have performed limited procedures, not constituting an
    audit,  including  a  reading  of  the  latest  available  unaudited interim
    financial statements of the Company and  its Subsidiaries, a reading of  all
    recent  minutes of  meetings of  the Board  of Directors,  committees of the
    Board of  Directors and  shareowners of  the Company  and its  Subsidiaries,
    inquiries of officials of the Company and its
 
                                       11
<PAGE>
    Subsidiaries responsible for financial and accounting matters and such other
    inquiries  and procedures  as may  be specified in  such letter,  and on the
    basis of such limited review and procedures, nothing came to their attention
    which caused them to believe that (a) any unaudited financial statements  of
    the  Company  included  or  incorporated by  reference  in  the Registration
    Statement or Prospectus do  not comply as to  form in all material  respects
    with the applicable accounting requirements of the Act, the Exchange Act and
    the  rules and regulations applicable  thereto or are not  stated on a basis
    substantially consistent with  that of the  audited financial statements  of
    the  Company incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, or (b)
    as of a specified date not more than five business days prior to the date of
    delivery of each such letter, there was any decrease in the capital stock or
    any increase  in the  consolidated long-term  debt of  the Company  and  its
    subsidiaries,  or any decrease in consolidated  net assets, as compared with
    amounts shown  in the  most recent  consolidated balance  sheet included  or
    incorporated  by reference in  the Registration Statement  or for the period
    from the first  day of the  month next  following the date  of said  balance
    sheet to a specified date not more than five business days prior to the date
    of  delivery of each such letter there  were any decreases, as compared with
    the corresponding  period  in the  preceding  year, in  operating  revenues,
    operating  income and net income, except  in all instances for changes which
    the Prospectus discloses have occurred or  may occur or which are  described
    in  such letter; (iii) they have  carried out specified procedures performed
    for the purpose  of comparing  certain specified  financial information  and
    percentages  (which is limited to financial information derived from general
    accounting records of the Company) included or incorporated by reference  in
    the   Registration  Statement  with  indicated   amounts  in  the  financial
    statements or accounting records of the Company and (excluding any questions
    of legal interpretation) have found  such information and percentages to  be
    in  agreement with the relevant accounting  and financial information of the
    Company referred to  in such  letter in  the description  of the  procedures
    performed  by them and (iv) they have read any unaudited financial statement
    information and financial ratios set forth in the Prospectus Supplement  and
    have  performed specified procedures with respect  thereto set forth in such
    letter, and nothing  came to their  attention which caused  them to  believe
    that  such financial  information does not  agree with  the latest available
    unaudited interim financial statements of  the Company and its  Subsidiaries
    or  was not determined on a basis  substantially consistent with that of the
    corresponding amounts in  the audited financial  statements incorporated  by
    reference  in the Registration Statement.  If additional unaudited financial
    information is  included  in  the Prospectus,  appropriate  statements  with
    respect thereto shall also be set forth in such letter.
 
        (i)  Subsequent to the respective dates as of which information is given
    in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, there shall not have  been
    any  change or decrease specified in the letter referred to in paragraph (h)
    of this Section 5 which makes it impractical or inadvisable in the  judgment
    of  the Representatives to  proceed with the public  offering or delivery of
    the Purchased Senior Notes as contemplated by the Prospectus.
 
        (j)  Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall have furnished to  the
    Representatives  such further information, certificates and documents as the
    Representatives may reasonably request.
 
    In giving the opinions contemplated by  paragraphs (c), (d), (e) and (f)  of
this  Section 5, counsel may rely upon certificates of state officials as to the
Company's good standing and upon certificates  of officers of the Company as  to
matters  of fact relevant to such opinions. In giving such opinions, counsel may
assume (i) that the Purchased Senior Notes  and the Bonds have been executed  on
behalf  of the Company by the manual or facsimile signatures of the President or
a Vice President and the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company  and
have  been manually authenticated by an authorized official of the Trustee, (ii)
that the signatures on all documents examined by them are genuine, and (iii) the
adequacy of  the written  information supplied  by the  Representatives and  the
other  Underwriters  expressly  for use  in  the Registration  Statement  or the
Prospectus.
 
                                       12
<PAGE>
    If  any of the  conditions specified in  this Section 5  shall not have been
fulfilled when and as provided in this  Agreement, or if any of the opinions  or
certificates  mentioned above or elsewhere in this Agreement shall not be in all
material  respects  reasonably  satisfactory  in  form  and  substance  to   the
Representatives  and their  counsel, this Agreement  and all  obligations of the
Underwriters hereunder may be canceled at, or at any time prior to, the  Closing
Date by the Representatives.
 
    6.   CONDITIONS OF COMPANY'S  OBLIGATION.  The obligation  of the Company to
deliver the Purchased Senior Notes and the Bonds upon payment therefor shall  be
subject to the following conditions:
 
    On  the Closing Date the orders of  the Oklahoma Commission and the Arkansas
Commission referred to in  paragraph (i) of  Section 2 hereof  shall be in  full
force  and effect  substantially in  the form  in which  originally entered; the
Indenture and the First Mortgage Indenture,  shall be qualified under the  Trust
Indenture  Act as  and to  the extent required  by such  Act; and  no stop order
suspending the effectiveness of  the Registration Statement  shall be in  effect
and  no proceedings for that purpose shall then be pending before, or threatened
by, the Commission.
 
    In case any of the  conditions specified above in  this Section 6 shall  not
have  been  fulfilled,  this  Agreement  may be  terminated  by  the  Company by
delivering written  notice  of  termination to  the  Representatives.  Any  such
termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except to
the extent provided in paragraph (g) of Section 4 and Section 7 hereof.
 
    7.   REIMBURSEMENT OF UNDERWRITERS' EXPENSES.   If the sale of the Purchased
Senior Notes provided for herein is not consummated because any condition to the
obligations of the Underwriters or the Company set forth in Section 5 or Section
6 hereof, respectively, is not satisfied or because of any refusal, inability or
failure on the part  of the Company  to perform any  agreement herein or  comply
with  any provision  hereof other  than by  reason of  a default  by any  of the
Underwriters, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters severally upon  demand
for  all out-of-pocket expenses (including  reasonable fees and disbursements of
counsel and any amounts  deposited by the Representatives  with the Company  for
payment  of the Oklahoma Real Estate Mortgage Tax) that shall have been incurred
by them  in connection  with the  proposed purchase  and sale  of the  Purchased
Senior Notes.
 
    8.   INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION.   (a) The Company agrees to indemnify
and hold  harmless  each Underwriter,  the  directors, officers,  employees  and
agents  of each Underwriter and each  person who controls any Underwriter within
the meaning of either the  Act or the Exchange Act  against any and all  losses,
claims,  damages or liabilities, joint  or several (including any investigation,
legal or other expenses reasonably incurred  in connection with, and any  amount
paid in settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding or any claim asserted), to
which  they or any of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or
other federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or  otherwise,
insofar  as such losses,  claims, damages or liabilities  (or actions in respect
thereof) arise out of or are based  upon any untrue statement or alleged  untrue
statement  of  a  material  fact  contained  in  the  Registration  Statement as
originally filed or in any amendment  thereof, or in any preliminary  prospectus
or  the Prospectus, or in any amendment  thereof or supplement thereto, or arise
out of or are based upon the omission  or alleged omission to state in any  such
document  a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified
party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in  connection
with  investigating  or defending  any such  loss,  claim, damage,  liability or
action; provided that (i) the Company will not be liable in any such case to the
extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is  based
upon  any  such untrue  statement  or alleged  untrue  statement or  omission or
alleged omission made therein  in reliance upon and  in conformity with  written
information  furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any Underwriter through
the Representatives  specifically for  use in  connection with  the  preparation
thereof and (ii) such indemnity with respect to any preliminary prospectus shall
not  inure to  the benefit  of any Underwriter  (or any  person controlling such
Underwriter) from whom  the person  asserting any  such loss,  claim, damage  or
liability  purchased any  of the  Purchased Senior  Notes which  are the subject
thereof if such person did not
 
                                       13
<PAGE>
receive a copy of the Prospectus (or, if the Prospectus shall have been  amended
or  supplemented, the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented), excluding the
Incorporated Documents, at  or prior  to the confirmation  of the  sale of  such
Purchased  Senior  Notes to  such  person in  any  case where  such  delivery is
required by the  Act and the  untrue statement  or omission of  a material  fact
contained in such preliminary prospectus was corrected in the Prospectus (or the
Prospectus as then amended or supplemented). This indemnity agreement will be in
addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have.
 
        (b) Each Underwriter severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
    Company,  each  of  its  directors,  each  of  its  officers  who  signs the
    Registration Statement, and each person who controls the Company within  the
    meaning  of either the  Act or the Exchange  Act, to the  same extent as the
    foregoing indemnity  from the  Company to  each Underwriter,  but only  with
    reference  to written information relating  to such Underwriter furnished to
    the Company by or on behalf of such Underwriter through the  Representatives
    specifically  for use in the preparation of the documents referred to in the
    foregoing indemnity. This  indemnity agreement  will be in  addition to  any
    liability which any Underwriter may otherwise have.
 
        (c)  Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8
    of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if
    a claim in  respect thereof  is to be  made against  the indemnifying  party
    under  this  Section 8,  notify  the indemnifying  party  in writing  of the
    commencement thereof; but the omission  so to notify the indemnifying  party
    will  not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified
    party otherwise  than under  this Section  8.  In case  any such  action  is
    brought  against  any indemnified  party, and  it notifies  the indemnifying
    party of the commencement thereof,  the indemnifying party will be  entitled
    to  participate therein  and, to  the extent  that it  may elect  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 that if the
    defendants in any  such action include  both the indemnified  party and  the
    indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded
    that  there may be  legal defenses available to  it and/or other indemnified
    parties which are  different from or  additional to those  available to  the
    indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to
    select  separate  counsel to  assert such  legal  defenses and  to otherwise
    participate in the  defense of  such action  on behalf  of such  indemnified
    party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such
    indemnified  party of its election  so to assume the  defense of such action
    and approval by  the indemnified  party of counsel,  the indemnifying  party
    will  not be liable to  such indemnified party under  this Section 8 for any
    legal or other expense  subsequently incurred by  such indemnified party  in
    connection  with the defense thereof unless  (i) the indemnified party shall
    have employed separate  counsel in  connection with the  assertion of  legal
    defenses  in accordance with the proviso  to the next preceding sentence (it
    being understood, however, that the  indemnifying party shall not be  liable
    for  the  expenses  of  more  than one  separate  counsel,  approved  by the
    Representatives  in  the   case  of  subparagraph   (a),  representing   the
    indemnified  parties under subparagraph (a) who are parties to such action),
    (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory  to
    the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable
    time  after notice of  commencement of the action  or (iii) the indemnifying
    party has authorized the employment of counsel for the indemnified party  at
    the  expense of the  indemnifying party; and  except that, if  clause (i) or
    (iii) is applicable, such liability shall be only in respect of the  counsel
    referred to in such clause (i) or (iii). Any indemnifying party shall not be
    liable  for  any settlement  of  any action  or  claim effected  without its
    written consent,  which consent  may not  be unreasonably  withheld, but  if
    settled  with such consent,  the indemnifying party  agrees to indemnify the
    indemnified party from and against any  loss or liability by reason of  such
    settlement.  No indemnifying party shall,  without the prior written consent
    of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened
    proceeding  in  respect  of  which   any  indemnified  party  is  or   could
 
                                       14
<PAGE>
    have  been a party  and indemnity could  have been sought  hereunder by such
    indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional  release
    of such indemnified party from all liability arising out of such proceeding.
 
        (d)  In  order  to  provide  for  just  and  equitable  contribution  in
    circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in paragraph (a)  of
    this  Section 8 is  due in accordance with  its terms but  is for any reason
    held by a court to be unavailable  from the Company on grounds of policy  or
    otherwise,  the  Company  and  the  Underwriters  shall  contribute  to  the
    aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or  other
    expenses  reasonably incurred in connection  with investigating or defending
    same) to  which the  Company and  one or  more of  the Underwriters  may  be
    subject  (i) in  such proportion as  is appropriate to  reflect the relative
    benefits received by the Company and  the Underwriters from the offering  of
    the  Purchased Senior Notes 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 or the Underwriters in
    connection with the statements or  omissions which resulted in such  losses,
    claims,  damages or  liabilities, as  well as  any other  relevant equitable
    considerations. The  relative  benefits  received by  the  Company  and  the
    Underwriters shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the
    net  proceeds from the offering (before  deducting expenses) received by the
    Company and the underwriting discount received by the Underwriters, in  each
    case  as set forth  on the cover  of the Prospectus  Supplement, bear to the
    aggregate public offering price of the Purchased Senior Notes. The  relative
    fault of the Company and the Underwriters shall be determined by a reference
    to,  among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a
    material fact  relates to  information supplied  by the  Company or  by  the
    Underwriters   and  the  parties'  relative  intent,  knowledge,  access  to
    information  and  opportunity  to  correct  or  prevent  such  statement  or
    omission.  The Company and the Underwriters agree  that it would not be just
    and equitable if contribution pursuant to this paragraph (d) 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  the  foregoing
    provisions  of this  paragraph (d).  Notwithstanding the  provisions of this
    paragraph (d),  (x) in  no case  shall  any Underwriter  (except as  may  be
    provided  in any Agreement Among Underwriters) be responsible for any amount
    in  excess  of  the  aggregate  underwriting  discounts  applicable  to  the
    Purchased  Senior Notes purchased  by such Underwriter  hereunder and (y) no
    person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section
    11(f) of the 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 paragraph  (d) are several  (and
    not  joint) in  proportion to the  respective principal  amount of Purchased
    Senior Notes to be purchased by  each of such Underwriters. For purposes  of
    this  Section 8, each person who  controls an Underwriter within the meaning
    of the Act shall have the  same rights to contribution as such  Underwriter,
    and  each person who controls  the Company within the  meaning of either the
    Act or the Exchange Act, each officer  of the Company who shall have  signed
    the  Registration Statement and each director  of the Company shall have the
    same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to  clauses
    (x)  and (y) of this paragraph (d). Any party entitled to contribution will,
    promptly after receipt  of notice  of commencement  of any  action, suit  or
    proceeding  against such party in respect  of which a claim for contribution
    may be  made against  another party  or parties  under this  paragraph  (d),
    notify such party from whom contributions may be sought, but the omission to
    so  notify such party or parties shall not relieve the party or parties from
    whom contribution may  be sought from  any other obligation  it or they  may
    have hereunder or otherwise than under this paragraph (d).
 
    9.  DEFAULT BY AN UNDERWRITER.  If any one or more of the Underwriters shall
fail  to purchase and pay for the  Purchased Senior Notes agreed to be purchased
by such Underwriter or Underwriters hereunder and such failure to purchase shall
constitute a default in the performance  of its or their obligations under  this
Agreement,  the Representatives may find one  or more substitute underwriters to
purchase such Purchased  Senior Notes  or make  such other  arrangements as  the
Representatives
 
                                       15
<PAGE>
deem  advisable or one  or more of  the nondefaulting Underwriters  may agree to
purchase such Purchased Senior Notes in  such proportions as may be agreed  upon
by the Representatives, in each case upon the terms set forth in this Agreement.
If  no such arrangements have been made  within 36 hours after the Closing Date,
each of the nondefaulting Underwriters shall  be obligated severally to take  up
and pay for (in the respective proportions which the amounts of Purchased Senior
Notes set forth opposite their names in Schedule II hereto bear to the aggregate
amount of Purchased Senior Notes set opposite the names of all the nondefaulting
remaining   Underwriters)  the  Purchased  Senior  Notes  which  the  defaulting
Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase, provided that in  the
event  that the aggregate  principal amount of Purchased  Senior Notes which the
defaulting Underwriter  or  Underwriters agreed  but  failed to  purchase  shall
exceed  10% of the aggregate principal amount  of the Purchased Senior Notes set
forth in Schedule II hereto, the nondefaulting Underwriters shall have the right
to purchase all, but shall not be  under any obligation to purchase any, of  the
Purchased  Senior Notes and  if such nondefaulting  Underwriters do not purchase
all the Purchased Senior Notes, this Agreement will terminate without  liability
to  any nondefaulting Underwriter or the  Company, except as provided in Section
11 hereof. In the  event of a default  by any Underwriter as  set forth in  this
Section  9, the Closing Date  shall be postponed for  such period, not exceeding
seven days, as the Representatives shall  determine, in order that the  required
changes  in the Registration  Statement and the Prospectus  Supplement or in any
other documents  or arrangements  may  be effected.  Nothing contained  in  this
Agreement  shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter of its liability, if any, to
the Company  and any  nondefaulting Underwriter  for damages  occasioned by  its
default hereunder.
 
    10.   TERMINATION.   This Agreement shall  be subject to  termination in the
absolute discretion of the Representatives, by notice given to the Company prior
to delivery of and payment for the Purchased Senior Notes, if prior to such time
(i) there has been,  since the date  of this Agreement  or since the  respective
dates  as of which  information is given  in the Registration  Statement and the
Prospectus, any loss sustained by the Company or any Subsidiary by strike, fire,
flood, accident or other calamity of  such character as to interfere  materially
with  the  conduct  of  the  business and  operations  of  the  Company  and its
Subsidiaries taken as a whole regardless of whether or not such loss shall  have
been insured, or any material adverse change in the earnings, affairs, condition
(financial   or  otherwise)  or  business  prospects  of  the  Company  and  its
Subsidiaries taken as a whole, whether or not arising in the ordinary course  of
business,  (ii) trading in  securities generally on the  New York Stock Exchange
shall have  been  suspended  or  limited  or  additional  material  governmental
restrictions, not in force on the date of this Agreement, have been imposed upon
trading  in securities generally, or minimum or maximum prices for trading shall
have been fixed,  or maximum ranges  for prices for  securities shall have  been
required  on the New York  Stock Exchange, by the New  York Stock Exchange or by
order of the Commission or any other governmental authority having jurisdiction,
(iii) a banking  moratorium shall have  been declared either  by federal or  New
York  State  authorities, or  (iv)  there shall  have  occurred any  outbreak or
material escalation of hostilities  or other calamity or  crisis, the effect  of
which  on the financial markets of  the United States is such  as to make it, in
the judgment of the Representatives, impracticable or inadvisable to market  the
Purchased Senior Notes.
 
    11.  REPRESENTATIONS AND INDEMNITIES TO SURVIVE.  The respective agreements,
representations,  warranties, indemnities and other statements of the Company or
its officers and  of the  Underwriters set  forth in  or made  pursuant to  this
Agreement  will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation
made by or on behalf of any Underwriter  or the Company or any of the  officers,
directors,  employees, agents  or controlling persons  referred to  in Section 8
hereof, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Purchased Senior Notes.
The provisions  of Sections  7 and  8 hereof  shall survive  the termination  or
cancellation of this Agreement.
 
    12.  NOTICES.  All communications hereunder will be in writing and effective
only  on receipt, and, if sent to the Representatives, will be mailed, delivered
in person or transmitted by any form of written telecommunication to them at the
address   specified   in   Schedule   I    hereto,   or,   if   sent   to    the
 
                                       16
<PAGE>
Company,  will be  mailed, delivered  in person  or transmitted  by any  form of
written telecommunication to  it, at                     ,                     ,
              , attention of               , Treasurer.
 
    13.  SUCCESSORS.  This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding
upon  the parties  hereto and  their respective  successors and  assigns and the
officers, directors, employees,  agents and controlling  persons referred to  in
Section  8  hereof,  and no  other  person  will have  any  right  or obligation
hereunder. The term "successors and assigns" as used in this Agreement shall not
include any purchaser, as such purchaser,  of any of the Purchased Senior  Notes
from any of the Underwriters.
 
    14.   REPRESENTATION OF THE UNDERWRITERS.  The Representatives represent and
warrant to the Company that they are authorized to act as the representatives of
the  Underwriters   in  the   subject  matter   of  this   Agreement,  and   the
Representatives'  execution and delivery of this  Agreement and any action under
this  Agreement  taken  by  such  Representatives  will  be  binding  upon   all
Underwriters.
 
    15.   INTERPRETATION WHEN NO REPRESENTATIVES.   In the event no Underwriters
are named in Schedule II hereto, the term "Underwriters" shall be deemed for all

    (f)  If all Notes of a series are  not to be authenticated and issued at one
time, the Company  shall not  be required to  deliver the  Company Order,  Board
Resolutions,  certificate  of  an  Expert,  Senior  Note  First  Mortgage Bonds,
Officers' Certificate and Opinion of Counsel  (including any such that would  be
otherwise  required  pursuant  to  Section 15.05  hereof)  described  in Section
2.05(c) hereof at or prior to the authentication of each Note of such series, if
such items are delivered at or prior to the time of authentication of the  first
Note  of such series  to be authenticated and  issued. If all of  the Notes of a
series are not authenticated and issued at one time, for each issuance of  Notes
after  the initial  issuance of  Notes, the  Company shall  be required  only to
deliver to the Trustee the  Note and a written request  (executed by one of  the
Chairman,  the President,  any Vice  President, the  Treasurer, or  an Assistant
Treasurer, and the Secretary  or an Assistant Secretary  of the Company) to  the
Trustee  to authenticate such Note  and to deliver such  Note in accordance with
the instructions specified by such request. Any such request shall constitute  a
representation  and  warranty by  the Company  that the  statements made  in the
Officers' Certificate delivered to the  Trustee prior to the authentication  and
issuance  of the  first Note  of such series  are true  and correct  on the date
thereof as if made on and as of the date thereof.
 
    SECTION 2.06.  EXCHANGE AND REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER OF NOTES.
 
    (a) Subject to Section 2.13 hereof, Notes  may be exchanged for one or  more
new  Notes of  any authorized  denominations and  of a  like aggregate principal
amount, series and stated maturity and having the same terms and Original  Issue
Date    or    Dates.   Notes    to   be    exchanged   shall    be   surrendered
 
                                       10
<PAGE>
at any of  the offices or  agencies to  be maintained pursuant  to Section  6.02
hereof,  and the Trustee  shall deliver in  exchange therefor the  Note or Notes
which the Noteholder making the exchange shall be entitled to receive.
 
    (b) The Trustee shall keep, at one  of said offices or agencies, a  register
or  registers  in  which,  subject  to such  reasonable  regulations  as  it may
prescribe, the Trustee shall register or cause to be registered Notes and  shall
register  or cause to be registered the transfer of Notes as in this Article Two
provided. Such register shall be in written form or in any other form capable of
being converted into written  form within a reasonable  time. At all  reasonable
times,  such register  shall be  open for  inspection by  the Company.  Upon due
presentment for  registration of  transfer of  any Note  at any  such office  or
agency,  the Company shall execute and  the Trustee shall register, authenticate
and deliver in the name of the  transferee or transferees one or more new  Notes
of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, series
and stated maturity and having the same terms and Original Issue Date or Dates.
 
    (c)  All  Notes  presented for  registration  of transfer  or  for exchange,
redemption or payment shall be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a  written
instrument  or instruments of  transfer in form satisfactory  to the Company and
the Trustee and  duly executed by  the Holder or  the attorney in  fact of  such
Holder duly authorized in writing.
 
    (d)  No service  charge shall  be made for  any exchange  or registration of
transfer of Notes, but the  Company may require payment  of a sum sufficient  to
cover  any tax or  other governmental charge  that may be  imposed in connection
therewith.
 
    (e) The Trustee shall not be required to exchange or register a transfer  of
any  Notes selected, called or being  called for redemption (including Notes, if
any, redeemable  at  the option  of  the Holder  provided  such Notes  are  then
redeemable  at  such Holder's  option) except,  in the  case of  any Note  to be
redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be so redeemed.
 
    (f) If the principal amount, and applicable premium, of part, but not all of
a Global Note is paid, then upon  surrender to the Trustee of such Global  Note,
the  Company  shall execute,  and the  Trustee  shall authenticate,  deliver and
register, a Global  Note in  an authorized denomination  in aggregate  principal
amount  equal to, and  having the same  terms, Original Issue  Date or Dates and
series as, the unpaid portion of such Global Note.
 
    SECTION 2.07.  MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST OR STOLEN NOTES.
 
    (a) If  any  temporary or  definitive  Note  shall become  mutilated  or  be
destroyed,  lost or stolen, the Company shall  execute, and upon its request the
Trustee shall authenticate and  deliver, a new Note  of like form and  principal
amount  and having the same terms and Original Issue Date or Dates and bearing a
number not contemporaneously outstanding, in  exchange and substitution for  the
mutilated  Note, or in  lieu of and  in substitution for  the Note so destroyed,
lost or stolen. In every case the applicant for a substituted Note shall furnish
to the Company, the  Trustee and any paying  agent or Authenticating Agent  such
security  or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless,
and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft of a Note, the applicant  shall
also furnish to the Company and to the Trustee evidence to their satisfaction of
the destruction, loss or theft of such Note and of the ownership thereof.
 
    (b) The Trustee shall authenticate any such substituted Note and deliver the
same  upon the written request  or authorization of any  officer of the Company.
Upon the issuance of any substituted  Note, the Company may require the  payment
of  a sum sufficient to  cover any tax or other  governmental charge that may be
imposed in relation thereto and any  other expenses connected therewith. If  any
Note  which has  matured, is about  to mature,  has been redeemed  or called for
redemption shall become mutilated or be  destroyed, lost or stolen, the  Company
may,  instead of issuing a substituted Note, pay or authorize the payment of the
same (without surrender thereof except in the  case of a mutilated Note) if  the
applicant  for such payment  shall furnish to  the Company, the  Trustee and any
paying
 
                                       11
<PAGE>
agent or Authenticating Agent such security  or indemnity as may be required  by
them  to save each of them harmless and,  in case of destruction, loss or theft,
evidence satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee of the destruction, loss or
theft of such Note and of the ownership thereof.
 
    (c) Every substituted Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.07 by virtue of
the fact that any Note is mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen shall  constitute
an  additional  contractual  obligation  of the  Company,  whether  or  not such
destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be found at any time, and shall be entitled
to all the benefits of this  Indenture equally and proportionately with any  and
all  other Notes duly issued  hereunder. All Notes shall  be held and owned upon
the express  condition that,  to  the extent  permitted  by law,  the  foregoing
provisions  are  exclusive  with  respect  to  the  replacement  or  payment  of
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and shall preclude any and all  other
rights  or remedies  notwithstanding any  law or  statute existing  or hereafter
enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement or payment of negotiable
instruments or other securities without their surrender.
 
    SECTION 2.08.   TEMPORARY  NOTES.   Pending  the preparation  of  definitive
Notes,  the Company may  execute and the Trustee  shall authenticate and deliver
temporary Notes (printed, lithographed or otherwise reproduced). Temporary Notes
shall be issuable in any authorized  denomination and substantially in the  form
of  the definitive Notes  but with such omissions,  insertions and variations as
may be appropriate for temporary Notes, all as may be determined by the Company.
Every such temporary Note  shall be authenticated by  the Trustee upon the  same
conditions  and in substantially the  same manner, and with  the same effect, as
the definitive Notes. Without unreasonable  delay the Company shall execute  and
shall deliver to the Trustee definitive Notes and thereupon any or all temporary
Notes shall be surrendered in exchange therefor at the corporate trust office of
the  Trustee,  and  the  Trustee shall  authenticate,  deliver  and  register in
exchange for  such  temporary  Notes  an equal  aggregate  principal  amount  of
definitive  Notes. Such exchange shall be made by the Company at its own expense
and without any  charge therefor  to the  Noteholders. Until  so exchanged,  the
temporary  Notes shall in  all respects be  entitled to the  same benefits under
this Indenture as definitive Notes authenticated and delivered hereunder.
 
    SECTION 2.09.  CANCELLATION OF NOTES  PAID, ETC.  All Notes surrendered  for
the  purpose of payment, redemption, exchange  or registration of transfer shall
be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation and promptly cancelled by it  and
no  Notes shall be issued in lieu  thereof except as expressly permitted by this
Indenture. The Company's acquisition of any Notes shall operate as a  redemption
or  satisfaction of  the indebtedness represented  by such Notes  and such Notes
shall be surrendered by the Company to and cancelled by the Trustee.
 
    SECTION 2.10.  INTEREST  RIGHTS PRESERVED.  Each  Note delivered under  this
Indenture upon transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall
carry  all the rights to interest accrued  and unpaid, and to accrue, which were
carried by such other Note,  and each such Note shall  be so dated that  neither
gain  nor  loss  of  interest  shall  result  from  such  transfer,  exchange or
substitution.
 
    SECTION 2.11.  SPECIAL RECORD DATE.   If and to the extent that the  Company
fails  to make timely payment or provision for timely payment of interest on any
series of Notes  (other than  on an  Interest Payment  Date that  is a  maturity
date),  that interest  shall cease  to be  payable to  the Persons  who were the
Noteholders of such series at the applicable Regular Record Date. In that event,
when moneys become available for payment of the interest, the Trustee shall  (a)
establish  a date of payment of such interest  and a Special Record Date for the
payment of that interest, which Special Record Date shall be not more than 15 or
fewer than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and (b) mail notice
of the date of  payment and of the  Special Record Date not  fewer than 10  days
preceding the Special Record Date to each Noteholder of such series at the close
of  business  on the  15th  day preceding  the mailing  at  the address  of such
Noteholder, as  it  appeared on  the  register for  the  Notes. On  the  day  so
established  by the Trustee the interest shall  be payable to the Holders of the
applicable Notes at the close of business on the Special Record Date.
 
                                       12
<PAGE>
    SECTION 2.12.   PAYMENT OF NOTES.   Payment of  the principal, interest  and
premium on all Notes shall be payable as follows:
 
    (a)  On or before 9:30 a.m., New York City time, of the day on which payment
of principal, interest and  premium is due  on any Global  Note pursuant to  the
terms  thereof, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee funds available on such
date sufficient to make such payment, by wire transfer of immediately  available
funds or by instructing the Trustee to withdraw sufficient funds from an account
maintained by the Company with the Trustee or such other method as is acceptable
to  the Trustee and the Depositary. On or before 10:00 a.m., New York City time,
or such  other  time  as shall  be  agreed  upon between  the  Trustee  and  the
Depositary,  of the day  on which any payment  of interest is  due on any Global
Note (other than  at maturity),  the Trustee shall  pay to  the Depositary  such
interest  in same day funds. On or before 10:00 a.m., New York City time or such
other time as shall be  agreed upon between the  Trustee and the Depositary,  of
the day on which principal, interest payable at maturity and premium, if any, is
due on any Global Note, the Trustee shall deposit with the Depositary the amount
equal  to the principal,  interest payable at  maturity and premium,  if any, by
wire transfer into the  account specified by the  Depositary. As a condition  to
the  payment, at maturity  or upon redemption,  of any part  of the principal of
interest on and  applicable premium  of any  Global Note,  the Depositary  shall
surrender,  or  cause  to  be  surrendered, such  Global  Note  to  the Trustee,
whereupon a  new Global  Note shall  be  issued to  the Depositary  pursuant  to
Section 2.06(f) hereof.
 
    (b)  With  respect  to  any  Note that  is  not  a  Global  Note, principal,
applicable premium and interest due at the maturity of the Note shall be payable
in immediately available funds when due upon presentation and surrender of  such
Note at the corporate trust office of the Trustee or at the authorized office of
any  paying agent. Interest  on any Note that  is not a  Global Note (other than
interest payable at maturity) shall  be paid to the  Holder thereof as its  name
appears  on the register by check  payable in clearinghouse funds; provided that
if the  Trustee  receives  a written  request  from  any Holder  of  Notes,  the
aggregate principal amount of which having the same Interest Payment Date equals
or exceeds $10,000,000, on or before the applicable Regular Record Date for such
Interest  Payment Date, interest  shall be paid by  wire transfer of immediately
available funds to  a bank within  the continental United  States designated  by
such  Holder in its request or by direct deposit into the account of such Holder
designated by such Holder in its request if such account is maintained with  the
Trustee or any paying agent.
 
    (c)  The Trustee shall receive the Senior Note First Mortgage Bonds from the
Company as  provided in  this Indenture  and shall  hold the  Senior Note  First
Mortgage  Bonds, and any and all sums payable thereon or with respect thereto or
realized therefrom, in trust  for the benefit  of the holders  of the Notes,  as
herein  provided. Subject to  Article Eight hereof,  all payments made  by or on
behalf the Company  to the Trustee  on a  series of Senior  Note First  Mortgage
Bonds  shall be deemed to  be a payment by the  Company pursuant to this Section
2.12 and  shall be  applied  by the  Trustee to  pay,  when due,  principal  of,
premium,  if any, and interest on the related series of Notes and, to the extent
so applied, shall satisfy the Company's  obligations on such Notes. The  Company
shall  cause payment to be made to the Trustee of principal of, premium, if any,
and interest on a series of Senior Note First Mortgage Bonds in a manner and  at
a  time that will enable the Trustee to make payments when due, of the principal
of, premium, if any, and interest on the related series of Notes.
 
    SECTION 2.13.  NOTES ISSUABLE IN THE FORM OF A GLOBAL NOTE.
 
    (a) If the Company shall establish pursuant to Section 2.05 hereof that  the
Notes of a particular series are to be issued in whole or in part in the form of
one  or more Global Notes, then the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall,
in accordance with Section  2.05 hereof and the  Company Order delivered to  the
Trustee  thereunder, authenticate and  deliver such Global  Note or Notes, which
(i) shall represent, shall  be denominated in an  amount equal to the  aggregate
principal  amount of, and shall have the same terms as, the outstanding Notes of
such series  to be  represented by  such Global  Note or  Notes, (ii)  shall  be
registered  in  the  name of  the  Depositary  or its  nominee,  (iii)  shall be
delivered by  the Trustee  to the  Depositary or  pursuant to  the  Depositary's
instruction and (iv) shall
 
                                       13
<PAGE>
bear a legend substantially to the following effect: "This Note is a Global Note
registered  in the  name of  the Depositary  (referred to  herein) or  a nominee
thereof and,  unless and  until it  is exchanged  in whole  or in  part for  the
individual  Notes represented  hereby, this Global  Note may  not be transferred
except as a  whole by  the Depositary to  a nominee  of the Depositary  or by  a
nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary
or  by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee
of such  successor  Depositary. Unless  this  Global  Note is  presented  by  an
authorized  representative of The Depository Trust Company (55 Water Street, New
York, New  York), to  the  trustee for  registration  of transfer,  exchange  or
payment,  and any certificate issued is registered in  the name of Cede & Co. or
such other name as requested by  an authorized representative of The  Depository
Trust  Company and any  payment is made to  Cede & Co.,  any transfer, pledge or
other use hereof for value  or otherwise by or to  any person is wrongful  since
the  registered owner hereof, Cede & Co.,  has an interest herein" or such other
legend as may be required by the rules and regulations of the Depositary.
 
    (b) Notwithstanding any other  provision of Section 2.06  hereof or of  this
Section  2.13, unless the  terms of a  Global Note expressly  permit such Global
Note to be exchanged in whole or in part for individual Notes, a Global Note may
be transferred,  in whole  but not  in part,  only as  described in  the  legend
thereto.
 
    (c) (i) If at any time the Depositary for a Global Note notifies the Company
that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Note or
if at any time the Depositary for the Global Note shall no longer be eligible or
in good standing under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or other
applicable  statute  or  regulation,  the  Company  shall  appoint  a  successor
Depositary with respect to such Global Note. If a successor Depositary for  such
Global  Note is not  appointed by the  Company within 90  days after the Company
receives such  notice or  becomes  aware of  such ineligibility,  the  Company's
election  pursuant to  Section 2.05(c)(vi) hereof  shall no  longer be effective
with respect  to the  series of  Notes evidenced  by such  Global Note  and  the
Company  shall execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the
authentication and delivery of individual Notes  of such series in exchange  for
such  Global  Note, shall  authenticate and  deliver,  individual Notes  of such
series of like  tenor and  terms in definitive  form in  an aggregate  principal
amount  equal to the  principal amount of  the Global Note  in exchange for such
Global Note. The Trustee shall  not be charged with  knowledge or notice of  the
ineligibility  of  a Depositary  unless a  responsible  officer assigned  to and
working in its  corporate trustee  administration department  shall have  actual
knowledge thereof.
 
    (ii)  The Company may at any time  and in its sole discretion determine that
all outstanding (but not less than all) Notes of a series issued or issuable  in
the  form of  one or more  Global Notes shall  no longer be  represented by such
Global Note or Notes. In such event the Company shall execute, and the  Trustee,
upon  receipt  of  a  Company  Order  for  the  authentication  and  delivery of
individual Notes  in  exchange for  such  Global Note,  shall  authenticate  and
deliver  individual  Notes of  like tenor  and  terms in  definitive form  in an
aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Note  or
Notes in exchange for such Global Note or Notes.
 
    (iii)  In any exchange provided for in  any of the preceding two paragraphs,
the  Company  will  execute  and  the  Trustee  will  authenticate  and  deliver
individual Notes in definitive registered form in authorized denominations. Upon
the  exchange of a Global  Note for individual Notes,  such Global Note shall be
cancelled by the Trustee. Notes issued in exchange for a Global Note pursuant to
this  Section  shall  be  registered  in  such  names  and  in  such  authorized
denominations  as the Depositary for such  Global Note, pursuant to instructions
from its  direct  or indirect  participants  or otherwise,  shall  instruct  the
Trustee.  The Trustee shall deliver such Notes to the Depositary for delivery to
the persons in whose names  such Notes are so  registered, or if the  Depositary
shall  refuse or be unable to deliver such Notes, the Trustee shall deliver such
Notes to the persons in whose names such Notes are registered, unless  otherwise
agreed  upon between  the Trustee  and the Company,  in which  event the Company
shall cause the Notes to be delivered  to the persons in whose names such  Notes
are registered.

    (d)  Neither  the Company,  the Trustee,  any  Authenticating Agent  nor any
paying agent shall have  any responsibility or liability  for any aspect of  the
records  relating  to,  or payments  made  on account  of,  beneficial ownership
interests of a  Global Note  or for  maintaining, supervising  or reviewing  any
records relating to such beneficial ownership interest.
 
    (e)  Pursuant to  the provisions  of this subsection,  at the  option of the
Trustee and upon 30 days' written notice to the Depositary but not prior to  the
first Interest Payment Date of the respective Global Notes, the Depositary shall
be  required to  surrender any  two or  more Global  Notes which  have identical
terms, including, without limitation,  identical maturities, interest rates  and
redemption provisions (but which may have differing Original Issue Dates) to the
Trustee,  and the Company  shall execute and the  Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver to, or at the  direction of, the Depositary  a Global Note in  principal
amount  equal to the aggregate principal amount of, and with all terms identical
to, the Global Notes surrendered thereto and that shall indicate each applicable
Original Issue Date and  the principal amount applicable  to each such  Original
Issue Date. The exchange contemplated in this subsection shall be consummated at
least 30 days prior to any Interest Payment Date applicable to any of the Global
Notes  surrendered to the Trustee. Upon any exchange of any Global Note with two
or more Original Issue  Dates, whether pursuant to  this Section or pursuant  to
Section 2.06 or Section 3.03 hereof, the aggregate principal amount of the Notes
with  a particular Original Issue  Date shall be the  same before and after such
exchange, after giving effect to any retirement of Notes and the Original  Issue
Dates applicable to such Notes occurring in connection with such exchange.
 
                                 ARTICLE THREE
 
                              REDEMPTION OF NOTES
 
    SECTION 3.01.  APPLICABILITY OF ARTICLE.  Such of the Notes as are, by their
terms,  redeemable prior  to their  stated maturity  date at  the option  of the
Company, may be redeemed by  the Company at such times,  in such amounts and  at
such prices as may be specified therein and in accordance with the provisions of
this Article Three.
 
    SECTION 3.02.  NOTICE OF REDEMPTION; SELECTION OF NOTES.
 
    (a)  The election of the Company to redeem any Notes shall be evidenced by a
Board Resolution which shall be given  with notice of redemption to the  Trustee
at  least 45 days (or such shorter period  acceptable to the Trustee in its sole
discretion) prior to the redemption date specified in such notice.
 
    (b) Notice of redemption to each Holder  of Notes to be redeemed as a  whole
or  in part  shall be given  by the Trustee,  in the manner  provided in Section
15.10 hereof, no less than 30 or more  than 60 days prior to the date fixed  for
redemption.  Any notice which  is given in  the manner herein  provided shall be
conclusively presumed to  have been duly  given, whether or  not the  Noteholder
receives  the notice.  In any  case, failure  duly to  give such  notice, or any
defect in such notice, to the Holder of any Note designated for redemption as  a
whole  or  in part  shall not  affect the  validity of  the proceedings  for the
redemption of any other Note.
 
    (c) Each such notice shall specify the date fixed for redemption, the places
of redemption and the redemption price at  which such Notes are to be  redeemed,
and  shall state that payment  of the redemption price  of such Notes or portion
thereof to be redeemed will be made upon surrender of such Notes at such  places
of  redemption, that interest accrued  to the date fixed  for redemption will be
paid as specified in  such notice, and  that from and  after such date  interest
thereon  shall cease to accrue. If less than all of a series of Notes having the
same terms are to be  redeemed, the notice shall  specify the Notes or  portions
thereof  to be redeemed. If any Note is  to be redeemed in part only, the notice
which relates  to such  Note shall  state the  portion of  the principal  amount
thereof to be redeemed, and shall state that, upon surrender of such Note, a new
Note  or Notes having the same terms  in aggregate principal amount equal to the
unredeemed portion thereof will be issued.
 
                                       15
<PAGE>
    (d) Unless otherwise provided by  a supplemental indenture or Company  Order
under  Section 2.05  hereof, if  less than  all of  a series  of Notes  is to be
redeemed, the Trustee shall select in  such manner as it shall deem  appropriate
and  fair in its discretion  the particular Notes to be  redeemed in whole or in
part and shall thereafter promptly notify the Company in writing of the Notes so
to be redeemed. If less  than all of a series  of Notes represented by a  Global
Note  is to be redeemed, the particular Notes or portions thereof of such series
to be redeemed shall be selected by  the Depositary for such series of Notes  in
such  manner as the Depositary shall determine.  Notes shall be redeemed only in
denominations of $1,000, provided that any remaining principal amount of a  Note
redeemed in part shall be a denomination authorized under this Indenture.
 
    (e)  If at the time  of the mailing of any  notice of redemption the Company
shall not have irrevocably  directed the Trustee to  apply funds deposited  with
the  Trustee or held by it and available  to be used for the redemption of Notes
to redeem all the Notes called for  redemption, such notice, at the election  of
the  Company, may  state that  it is  subject to  the receipt  of the redemption
moneys by the Trustee before the date fixed for redemption and that such  notice
shall be of no effect unless such moneys are so received before such date.
 
    SECTION  3.03.    PAYMENT  OF NOTES  ON  REDEMPTION;  DEPOSIT  OF REDEMPTION
PRICE.
 
    (a) If notice of redemption for any Notes shall have been given as  provided
in  Section 3.02 hereof and such notice shall not contain the language permitted
at the Company's option under Section 3.02(e) hereof, such Notes or portions  of
Notes  called for redemption shall become due and payable on the date and at the
places stated in such notice at  the applicable redemption price, together  with
interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption of such Notes. Interest on the
Notes  or portions thereof  so called for  redemption shall cease  to accrue and
such Notes or portions thereof shall be deemed not to be entitled to any benefit
under this Indenture except to receive payment of the redemption price  together
with   interest  accrued  thereon  to  the   date  fixed  for  redemption.  Upon
presentation and surrender  of such Notes  at such  a place of  payment in  such
notice specified, such Notes or the specified portions thereof shall be paid and
redeemed  at  the applicable  redemption price,  together with  interest accrued
thereon to the date fixed for redemption.
 
    (b) If notice  of redemption shall  have been given  as provided in  Section
3.02  hereof  and  such  notice  shall contain  the  language  permitted  at the
Company's option under Section 3.02(e) hereof,  such Notes or portions of  Notes
called for redemption shall become due and payable on the date and at the places
stated in such notice at the applicable redemption price, together with interest
accrued  to the  date fixed for  redemption of  such Notes, and  interest on the
Notes or portions  thereof so called  for redemption shall  cease to accrue  and
such Notes or portions thereof shall be deemed not to be entitled to any benefit
under  this Indenture except to receive payment of the redemption price together
with interest accrued thereon to the  date fixed for redemption; provided  that,
in  each case,  the Company shall  have deposited  with the Trustee  or a paying
agent on  or prior  to such  redemption date  an amount  sufficient to  pay  the
redemption   price  together  with  interest  accrued  to  the  date  fixed  for
redemption. Upon  the Company  making such  deposit and,  upon presentation  and
surrender  of such Notes  at such a  place of payment  in such notice specified,
such Notes or the specified portions thereof  shall be paid and redeemed at  the
applicable  redemption price, together with interest accrued thereon to the date
fixed for redemption. If the Company shall not make such deposit on or prior  to
the  redemption date, the notice  of redemption shall be  of no force and effect
and the principal on such Notes or specified portions thereof shall continue  to
bear interest as if the notice of redemption had not been given.
 
    (c)  No notice of redemption of Notes shall be mailed during the continuance
of any Event of Default, except (1) that, when notice of redemption of any Notes
has been  mailed,  the  Company  shall  redeem such  Notes  but  only  if  funds

        (1) that it will hold  in trust for the benefit  of the Holders and  the
    Trustee  all sums held by it as such  agent for the payment of the principal
    of and any premium  or interest on  the Notes (whether  such sums have  been
    paid  to it by the Company  or by any other obligor  on such Notes) in trust

    be due and payable; and
 
        (3) that it will at any time during the continuance of any such failure,
    upon  the written request of  the Trustee, forthwith pay  to the Trustee all

<PAGE>
    (a)  The  Company shall  furnish or  cause  to be  furnished to  the Trustee
semiannually, not later  than 15 days  after each Regular  Record Date for  each
Interest  Payment Date that  is not a maturity  date and at  such other times as
such Trustee may request in writing, within 30 days after receipt by the Company
of any such request, a list in  such form as the Trustee may reasonably  require
containing  all the information in the possession  or control of the Company, or
any paying agents other than the Trustee,  as to the names and addresses of  the
Holders of Notes, obtained since the date as of which the next previous list, if
any,  was furnished. Any such  list may be dated  as of a date  not more than 15
days prior to the time such information  is furnished or caused to be  furnished
and need not include information received after such date; provided that as long
as the Trustee is the registrar for the Notes, no such list shall be required to
be  furnished. The Trustee  shall preserve any  list provided to  it pursuant to
this Section until such time as the Company or any paying agent, as  applicable,
shall provide it with a more recent list.
 
    (b)  Within five business days after the receipt by the Trustee of a written
application by any three or more  Holders stating that the applicants desire  to
communicate  with other Holders with respect to their rights under the Indenture
or under the  Notes, and accompanied  by a copy  of the form  of proxy or  other
communication which such applicants propose to transmit, and by reasonable proof
that  each such applicant has owned  a Note for a period  of at least six months
preceding the date  of such  application, the  Trustee shall,  at its  election,
either:
 
         (i) afford to such applicants access to all information furnished to or
    received   by  the  Trustee  pursuant  to  Section  7.01(a)  hereof  or,  if
    applicable, in its capacity as registrar to the Notes; or
 
        (ii) inform  such applicants  as to  the approximate  number of  Holders
    according  to the  most recent information  furnished to or  received by the
    Trustee under Section  7.01(a) hereof or  if applicable in  its capacity  as
    registrar  for the Notes, and as to  the approximate cost of mailing to such
    Holders the form of proxy or other communication, if any, specified in  such
    application.
 
    If  the Trustee  shall elect  not to afford  such applicants  access to such
information, the Trustee  shall, upon  the written request  of such  applicants,
mail  to each Holder of Notes a copy of the form of proxy or other communication
which is specified in such request, with reasonable promptness after a tender to
the Trustee of the material  to be mailed and of  payment, or provision for  the
payment,  of the  reasonable expenses of  such mailing, unless  within five days
after such tender the Trustee  shall mail to such  applicants and file with  the
Commission,  together  with a  copy  of the  material  to be  mailed,  a written
statement to the effect that, in the opinion of the Trustee, such mailing  would
be  contrary to the  best interests of the  Holders or would  be in violation of
applicable law. Such written statement shall specify the basis of such  opinion.
If the Commission, after opportunity for a hearing upon the objections specified
in  the written statement so filed, shall enter an order refusing to sustain any
of such objections or if, after the entry of an order sustaining one or more  of
such  objections, the  Commission shall find,  after notice  and opportunity for
hearing, that all the objections so sustained  have been met and shall enter  an
order  so  declaring, the  Trustee shall  mail  copies of  such material  to all
Holders with reasonable promptness after the entry of such order and the renewal
of such tender;  otherwise the Trustee  shall be relieved  of any obligation  or
duty to such applicants respecting their application.
 
    (c)  Every Holder of a Note, by  receiving and holding the same, agrees with
the Company and the  Trustee that neither  the Company nor  the Trustee nor  any
paying agent nor any Authenticating Agent shall be held accountable by reason of
the  disclosure of  any such information  as to  the names and  addresses of the
Holders in accordance  with this Section,  regardless of the  source from  which
such information was derived, and that the Trustee shall not be held accountable
by reason of mailing any material pursuant to a request made under this Section.

                          REMEDIES OF THE TRUSTEE AND
                        NOTEHOLDERS ON EVENTS OF DEFAULT
 
    SECTION 8.01.  EVENTS OF DEFAULT.
 
    (a) If one or more  of the following Events  of Default shall have  occurred
and be continuing:
 
        (1)  default in the payment  of any installment of  interest upon any of
    the Notes as and when the same shall become due and payable, and continuance
    of such default for a period of 30 days;
 
        (2) default in the payment of the principal of or any premium on any  of
    the  Notes as and when the same shall become due and payable and continuance
    of such default for five days;
 
        (3) failure on the part  of the Company duly  to observe or perform  any
    other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Company contained in
    the  Notes or in  this Indenture for a  period of 90 days  after the date on
    which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied  and
    stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default" hereunder, shall have been
    given  to the Company by  the Trustee by registered  mail, or to the Company
    and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount
    of the Notes at the time outstanding;
 
        (4) prior to the  Release Date, a completed  default (as defined in  the
    First  Mortgage) has occurred  and is continuing,  and the Mortgage Trustee,
    the Company or Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of  the
    Notes at the time outstanding shall have given written notice thereof to the
    Trustee;
 
        (5)  the entry of a decree or  order by a court having jurisdiction over
    the Company for  relief in  respect of  the Company  under Title  11 of  the
    United  States Code, as  now constituted or hereafter  amended, or any other
    applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law,  or
    appointing   a   receiver,   liquidator,   assignee,   trustee,   custodian,
    sequestrator or similar official of the  Company or of any substantial  part
    of  its property, or ordering the  winding-up or liquidation of its affairs,
    and the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a
    period of 60 consecutive days; or
 
        (6) the filing by the Company with respect to itself or its property  of
    a  petition or answer or consent seeking relief under Title 11 of the United
    States  Code,  as  now  constituted  or  hereafter  amended,  or  any  other
    applicable  federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or
    the consent by  it to the  institution of proceedings  thereunder or to  the
    filing of any such petition or to the appointment of or taking possession by
    a  receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other
    similar official of the Company or of any substantial part of its  property,
    or  the failure  of the  Company generally  to pay  its debts  as such debts
    become due, or the taking of  corporate action by the Company to  effectuate
    any such action;
 
then  and in each and every such case,  unless the principal of all of the Notes
shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders  of
a  majority  in aggregate  principal amount  of the  Notes then  outstanding, by
notice in writing to the Company (and  to the Trustee if given by  Noteholders),
may declare the principal of all the Notes to be due and payable immediately and
upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and
payable,  anything in this Indenture  or in the Notes  contained to the contrary
notwithstanding and, upon the  Notes being declared to  be due and payable,  the
Trustee  can immediately  file with  the Mortgage  Trustee a  written demand for
redemption of all Senior  Note First Mortgage Bonds  pursuant to the  applicable
provisions of the supplemental indentures to the First Mortgage. This provision,
however, is subject to the condition that if, at any time after the principal of
the  Notes shall have been so declared  due and payable, and before any judgment
or decree for the payment of the moneys due shall have been obtained or  entered
as  hereinafter provided and prior to the mailing to the Trustee by the Mortgage
Trustee of  a  firm,  valid and  unconditional  notice  to the  Trustee  of  the
acceleration of all of the
 
                                       26
<PAGE>
first  mortgage  bonds  issued and  outstanding  under the  First  Mortgage, the
Company shall pay or shall deposit with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay  all
matured  installments of interest upon all of the Notes and the principal of and
any premium on any and all Notes  which shall have become due otherwise than  by
acceleration  (with interest on overdue installments  of interest, to the extent
that payment of such interest is  enforceable under applicable law, and on  such
principal  and applicable premium at the rate borne  by the Notes to the date of
such payment or deposit) and all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder,
the  reasonable  compensation,  expenses,  disbursements  and  advances  of  the
Trustee,  its agents and  counsel, and any  other amounts due  the Trustee under
Section 9.06 hereof, and any and  all defaults under this Indenture, other  than
the  non-payment of principal of and accrued  interest on Notes which shall have
become due solely by acceleration of  maturity, shall have been cured or  waived
(including any defaults under the First Mortgage, as evidenced by notice thereof
from  the Mortgage Trustee to  the Trustee) -- then and  in every such case such
payment or deposit shall cause an automatic  waiver of the Event of Default  and
its  consequences (including if  given the written demand  for redemption of all
Senior Note First Mortgage  Bonds) and shall cause  an automatic rescission  and
annulment of the acceleration of the Notes; but no such waiver or rescission and
annulment  shall  extend to  or shall  affect any  subsequent default,  or shall
impair any right consequent thereon.
 
    (b) If the  Trustee shall  have proceeded to  enforce any  right under  this
Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned because
of  such rescission  or annulment  or for  any other  reason or  shall have been
determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case the Company and
the Trustee shall be restored respectively to their several positions and rights
hereunder, and all rights,  remedies and powers of  the Company and the  Trustee
shall continue as though no such proceeding had been taken.
 
    SECTION 8.02.  PAYMENT OF NOTES ON DEFAULT; SUIT THEREFOR.
 
    (a) The Company covenants that in case of:
 
        (1)  default in the payment  of any installment of  interest upon any of
    the Notes as and when the same shall become due and payable, and continuance
    of such default for a period of 30 days; or
 
        (2) default in the payment of the principal of or any premium on any  of
    the  Notes as and when the same shall have become due and payable whether at
    the stated maturity  thereof, upon  redemption thereof  (provided that  such
    redemption is not conditioned upon the deposit of sufficient moneys for such
    redemption), upon declaration of acceleration or otherwise.
 
then,  upon demand of the Trustee, the Company shall pay to the Trustee, for the
benefit of the Holders of  the Notes, the whole amount  that then shall have  so
become  due  and payable  on all  such Notes  for principal  and any  premium or
interest, or both, as the case may be, with interest upon the overdue  principal
and  any premium and (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable
under applicable law)  upon the  overdue installments  of interest  at the  rate
borne  by the Notes; and, in addition  thereto, such further amounts as shall be
sufficient to cover the costs  and expenses of collection, including  reasonable
compensation  to the Trustee, its agents, attorneys and counsel, any expenses or
liabilities incurred by the Trustee hereunder other than through its  negligence
or bad faith, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 9.06 hereof.
 
    (b)  If  the Company  shall fail  forthwith  to pay  such amounts  upon such
demand, the Trustee, in its own name  and as trustee of an express trust,  shall
be  entitled and empowered to institute any  actions or proceedings at law or in
equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, including, prior to the
Release Date, to  exercise any rights  to that end  it may have  as a holder  of
Senior  Note First Mortgage  Bonds, and may  enforce any such  judgment or final
decree against the Company or any other obligor on the Notes and collect in  the
manner  provided by law out of the property  of the Company or any other obligor
on such series of Notes wherever situated, the moneys adjudged or decreed to  be
payable.
 
                                       27
<PAGE>
    (c)  If there  shall be  pending proceedings for  the bankruptcy  or for the
reorganization of the Company or any other obligor on the Notes under the United
States Bankruptcy Code or  any other applicable  law, or in  case a receiver  or
trustee  shall have been appointed for the property of the Company or such other
obligor, or in  the case  of any similar  judicial proceedings  relative to  the
Company  or other obligor upon the Notes, or to the creditors or property of the
Company or  such  other  obligor,  the  Trustee,  irrespective  of  whether  the
principal  of the Notes shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by
declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made
any demand pursuant to  this Section 8.02, shall  be entitled and empowered,  by
intervention  in such  proceedings or  otherwise, to file  and prove  a claim or
claims for the whole amount of principal and any premium and interest owing  and
unpaid  in respect of  the Notes, and,  in case of  any judicial proceedings, to
file such proofs of claim and other  papers or documents as may be necessary  or
advisable  in order to have  the claims of the  Trustee (including, prior to the
Release Date, any claims of the Trustee as holder of Senior Note First  Mortgage
Bonds  and including any amounts  due to the Trustee  under Section 9.06 hereof)
and of the Holders of Notes allowed in such judicial proceedings relative to the
Company or any other  obligor on the  Notes, its or their  creditors, or its  or
their  property, and to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable
or deliverable  on  any  such claims,  and  to  distribute the  same  after  the
deduction of its charges and expenses.
 
    (d)  All claims and rights  of action under this  Indenture, or under any of
the Notes, may be enforced by the  Trustee without the possession of any of  the
Notes,  or  the production  thereof in  any trial  or other  proceeding relative
thereto, and any  such suit  or proceeding instituted  by the  Trustee shall  be
brought  in its  own name as  trustee of an  express trust, and  any recovery of
judgment shall be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes in respect
of which such action was taken.
 
    (e) Nothing herein  contained shall be  deemed to authorize  the Trustee  to
authorize  or consent or to accept or adopt on behalf of any Noteholder any plan
of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or
the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect
of the claim of any Noteholder in any such proceeding.
 
    SECTION 8.03.   APPLICATION  OF MONEYS  COLLECTED BY  TRUSTEE.   Any  moneys
collected  by the  Trustee with  respect to  any of  the Notes  pursuant to this
Article shall be applied in the order  following, at the date or dates fixed  by
the  Trustee  for the  distribution  of such  moneys,  upon presentation  of the
several Notes, and  stamping thereon the  payment, if only  partially paid,  and
upon surrender thereof if fully paid.
 
    FIRST:  To the payment of all amounts due to the Trustee pursuant to Section
9.06 hereof;
 
    SECOND:   If the principal of the outstanding Notes in respect of which such
moneys have been  collected shall  not have  become due  and be  unpaid, to  the
payment  of  interest  on  the  Notes,  in the  order  of  the  maturity  of the
installments of such interest, with interest  (to the extent allowed by law  and
to  the extent that  such interest has  been collected by  the Trustee) upon the
overdue installments of interest at the  rate borne by the Notes, such  payments
to  be made ratably to the persons entitled  thereto, and then to the payment to
the Holders entitled thereto of the  unpaid principal of and applicable  premium
on  any of the  Notes which shall  have become due  (other than Notes previously
called for redemption for the payment of  which moneys are held pursuant to  the
provisions  of this Indenture), whether at  stated maturity or by redemption, in
the order of their due dates, beginning  with the earliest due date, and if  the
amount  available  is  not  sufficient to  pay  in  full all  Notes  due  on any
particular date, then to the payment  thereof ratably, according to the  amounts
of  principal and applicable premium  due on that date,  to the Holders entitled
thereto, without any discrimination or privilege;
 
    THIRD:  If the principal of the  outstanding Notes in respect of which  such
moneys  have been collected shall have  become due, by declaration or otherwise,
to the payment  of the whole  amount then owing  and unpaid upon  the Notes  for
principal  and any  premium and interest  thereon, with interest  on the overdue
principal and any premium and  (to the extent allowed by  law and to the  extent
that  such interest has been collected by the Trustee) upon overdue installments
of interest at the rate
 
                                       28
<PAGE>
borne by the Notes; and in case such moneys shall be insufficient to pay in full
the whole amount so due and unpaid upon  the Notes, then to the payment of  such
principal  and  any  premium  and interest  without  preference  or  priority of
principal and any premium over interest,  or of interest over principal and  any
premium  or  of  any  installment  of interest  over  any  other  installment of
interest, or of any Note over any  other Note, ratably to the aggregate of  such
principal and any premium and accrued and unpaid interest; and
 
    FOURTH:   to  the payment of  the remainder, if  any, to the  Company or its
successors or assigns, or to whomsoever may lawfully be entitled to the same, or
as a court of competent jurisdiction may determine.
 
    SECTION 8.04.  PROCEEDINGS BY NOTEHOLDERS.
 
    (a) No Holder of any Note shall have  any right by virtue of or by  availing
of  any provision of this Indenture to  institute any suit, action or proceeding
in equity or at law upon or under  or with respect to this Indenture or for  the
appointment  of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless
such Holder previously  shall have  given to the  Trustee written  notice of  an
Event  of Default with respect  to such Note and  of the continuance thereof, as
hereinabove provided, and  unless also  Noteholders of a  majority in  aggregate
principal amount of the Notes then outstanding affected by such Event of Default
shall  have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit
or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the
Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs,  expenses
and  liabilities to be incurred therein or  thereby, and the Trustee for 60 days
after its receipt  of such notice,  request and offer  of indemnity, shall  have
neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding.
 
    (b)  Notwithstanding  any other  provision in  this Indenture,  however, the
rights of any Holder of any Note to receive payment of the principal of and  any
premium  and  interest  on such  Note,  on  or after  the  respective  due dates
expressed in such  Note or on  the applicable redemption  date, or to  institute
suit  for the enforcement of any such  payment on or after such respective dates
shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.
 
    SECTION 8.05.   PROCEEDINGS BY  TRUSTEE.   In case  of an  Event of  Default
hereunder  the Trustee may in its discretion  proceed to protect and enforce the
rights vested in it by this Indenture, including, prior to the Release Date, its
rights as holder of  the Senior Note First  Mortgage Bonds, by such  appropriate
judicial  proceedings as  the Trustee shall  deem most effectual  to protect and
enforce any of such rights, either by suit  in equity or by action at law or  by
proceeding  in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether  for the specific enforcement of
any covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or in aid of the  exercise
of  any power granted to it under this  Indenture, or to enforce any other legal
or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law.
 
    SECTION 8.06.  REMEDIES CUMULATIVE AND CONTINUING.  All powers and  remedies
given  by this Article Eight to the Trustee  or to the Noteholders shall, to the
extent permitted by law,  be deemed cumulative and  not exclusive of any  powers
and remedies hereof or of any other powers and remedies available to the Trustee
or  the Holders of the  Notes, by judicial proceedings  or otherwise, to enforce
the performance or observance of the covenants and agreements contained in  this
Indenture,  and no delay or omission  of the Trustee or of  any Holder of any of
the Notes in exercising any right  or power accruing upon any default  occurring
and  continuing as aforesaid shall  impair any such right  or power, or shall be
construed to be a waiver  of any such default  or an acquiescence therein;  and,
subject  to Section 8.04  hereof, every power  and remedy given  by this Article
Eight or by law to the Trustee or to the Noteholders may be exercised from  time
to  time, and as  often as shall be  deemed expedient, by the  Trustee or by the
Noteholders.
 
    SECTION 8.07.  DIRECTION OF PROCEEDINGS  AND WAIVER OF DEFAULTS BY  MAJORITY
OF  NOTEHOLDERS.  The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Notes at the time outstanding shall have  the right to direct the time,  method,
and  place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee,
or  exercising  any  trust  or   power  conferred  on  the  Trustee;   provided,
 
                                       29
<PAGE>
that  (subject  to Section  9.01 hereof)  the  Trustee shall  have the  right to
decline to follow  any such direction  if the Trustee  being advised by  counsel
determines  that the action or proceeding so  directed may not lawfully be taken
or if the Trustee in good faith by its board of directors or trustees, executive
committee, or a trust committee of directors or trustees or responsible officers
shall determine that  the action  or proceeding  so directed  would involve  the
Trustee  in personal liability or  would be unduly prejudicial  to the rights of
Noteholders not  joining  in such  directions.  The  Holders of  a  majority  in
aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding may on behalf of
all  of the  Holders of  the Notes waive  any past  default or  Event of Default
hereunder and its consequences except a  default in the payment of principal  of
or  any premium or interest on the Notes.  Upon any such waiver the Company, the
Trustee and the Holders of the Notes shall be restored to their former positions
and rights  hereunder, respectively,  but no  such waiver  shall extend  to  any
subsequent  or other default or Event of  Default or impair any right consequent
thereon. Whenever any  default or  Event of  Default hereunder  shall have  been
waived as permitted by this Section 8.07, said default or Event of Default shall
for  all purposes of the  Notes and this Indenture be  deemed to have been cured
and to be not continuing.
 
    SECTION 8.08.  NOTICE OF DEFAULT.   The Trustee shall, within 90 days  after
the  occurrence of a  default, give to all  Holders of the  Notes, in the manner
provided in section  15.10, notice of  such default, unless  such default  shall
have  been cured before  the giving of  such notice, the  term "default" for the
purpose of this Section 8.08  being hereby defined to be  any event which is  or
after notice or lapse of time or both would become an Event of Default; provided
that,  except in the case of  default in the payment of  the principal of or any
premium or interest on  any of the Notes,  or in the payment  of any sinking  or
purchase  fund installments, the Trustee shall  be protected in withholding such
notice if  and  so  long  as  its board  of  directors  or  trustees,  executive
committee, or a trust committee of directors or trustees or responsible officers
in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests
of  the Holders of the Notes. The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of
any Event of Default unless a responsible officer of the Trustee assigned to the
corporate trustee department of the Trustee shall have actual knowledge of  such
Event of Default.
 
    SECTION  8.09.   UNDERTAKING TO  PAY COSTS.   All parties  to this Indenture
agree, and each Holder of any Note by acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have
agreed, that  any court  may in  its discretion  require, in  any suit  for  the
enforcement  of any right or remedy under  this Indenture or in any suit against
the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by  any
party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and
that  such  court  may  in its  discretion  assess  reasonable  costs, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having  due
regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party
litigant;  but this Section 8.09  shall not apply to  any suit instituted by the
Trustee, or to any suit instituted  by any Noteholder, or group of  Noteholders,
holding  in  the  aggregate more  than  10%  in principal  amount  of  the Notes
outstanding, or to any suit instituted by any Noteholder for the enforcement  of
the  payment of the  principal of or any  premium or interest on  any Note on or
after the due date expressed in such Note or the applicable redemption date.

                             CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE
 
    SECTION 9.01.  DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEE.
 
    (a) The Trustee, prior to  the occurrence of an  Event of Default and  after
the  curing of  all Events  of Default  which may  have occurred,  undertakes to
perform such duties and only such duties  as are specifically set forth in  this
Indenture.  If an  Event of Default  has occurred  (which has not  been cured or
waived), the Trustee shall exercise such of  the rights and powers vested in  it
by  this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise,
as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of
his own affairs.
 
                                       30
<PAGE>
    (b) No  provisions of  this  Indenture shall  be  construed to  relieve  the
Trustee  from liability for its own  negligent action, its own negligent failure
to act or its own willful misconduct, except that:
 
        (1) prior to the occurrence of any Event of Default and after the curing
    or waiving of all Events of Default which may have occurred
 
           (A) the duties  and obligations  of the Trustee  shall be  determined
       solely by the express provisions of this Indenture, and the Trustee shall
       not  be liable except for the  performance of such duties and obligations
       as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants
       or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and
 
           (B) in the  absence of  bad faith  on the  part of  the Trustee,  the
       Trustee  may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
       correctness of the opinions expressed  therein, upon any certificates  or
       opinions  furnished to the Trustee and  conforming to the requirements of
       this Indenture; but,  in the case  of any such  certificates or  opinions
       which  by any provision hereof are  specifically required to be furnished
       to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same  to
       determine  whether  or  not  they conform  to  the  requirements  of this
       Indenture;
 
        (2) the Trustee shall not  be liable for any  error of judgment made  in
    good  faith by a responsible  officer or officers of  the Trustee, unless it
    shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent
    facts; and
 
        (3) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken  or
    omitted  to be  taken by it  in good  faith in accordance  with Section 8.07
    hereof relating to the time, method  and place of conducting any  proceeding
    for  any remedy available to  the Trustee, or exercising  any trust or power
    conferred upon the Trustee under this Indenture.
 
    SECTION 9.02.  RELIANCE  ON DOCUMENTS, OPINIONS, ETC.   Except as  otherwise
provided in Section 9.01 hereof:
 
    (a) the Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from
acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report,
notice,  request, consent, order, note or other paper or document believed by it
to be  genuine and  to have  been signed  or presented  by the  proper party  or
parties;
 
    (b)  any request, direction, order or demand of the Company mentioned herein
shall be  sufficiently  evidenced  by an  Officers'  Certificate  (unless  other
evidence  in respect thereof  is herein specifically  prescribed); and any Board
Resolution may be evidenced to  the Trustee by a  copy thereof certified by  the
Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company;
 
    (c)  the  Trustee may  consult with  counsel  and any  advice or  Opinion of
Counsel shall be full  and complete authorization and  protection in respect  of
any  action taken,  suffered or  omitted by  it hereunder  in good  faith and in
accordance with such advice or Opinion of Counsel;
 
    (d) the Trustee shall be under no  obligation to exercise any of the  rights
or  powers vested in it by this Indenture  at the request, order or direction of
any of  the Noteholders,  pursuant to  this Indenture,  unless such  Noteholders
shall  have offered to the Trustee  reasonable security or indemnity against the
costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred by such exercise;
 
    (e) the  Trustee shall  not be  liable  for any  action taken,  suffered  or
omitted  by it in good faith  and believed by it to  be authorized or within the
discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture;
 
    (f) prior to the occurrence of an  Event of Default hereunder and after  the
curing  or waiving of all  Events of Default, the Trustee  shall not be bound to
make any  investigation into  the facts  or matters  stated in  any  resolution,
certificate,  statement, instrument, opinion,  report, notice, request, consent,
order, approval, note or other paper or document, unless requested in writing to
do so by  the Holders of  at least a  majority in principal  amount of the  then
outstanding Notes; provided that if the payment
 
                                       31
<PAGE>
within  a reasonable time to  the Trustee of the  costs, expenses or liabilities
likely to be  incurred by  it in  the making of  such investigation  is, in  the
opinion  of the Trustee, not  reasonably assured to the  Trustee by the security
afforded to it by this Indenture,  the Trustee may require reasonable  indemnity
against such expense or liability as a condition to so proceeding;
 
    (g)  no provision of this  Indenture shall require the  Trustee to extend or
risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance
of any of  its duties  hereunder, or in  the exercise  of any of  its rights  or
powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such
funds  or adequate  indemnity against such  risk or liability  is not reasonably
assured to it; and
 
    (h) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform
any duties hereunder either  directly or through  agents or attorneys;  provided
that  the Trustee shall not be liable for  the conduct or acts of any such agent
or attorney that shall have been appointed in accordance herewith with due care.
 
    SECTION 9.03.  NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR RECITALS, ETC.  The recitals  contained
herein  and in the Notes (except in  the certificate of authentication) shall be
taken  as  the  statements   of  the  Company,  and   the  Trustee  assumes   no
responsibility   for  the  correctness  of  the   same.  The  Trustee  makes  no
representations as to the  validity or sufficiency of  this Indenture or of  the
Notes.  The Trustee shall not  be accountable for the  use or application by the
Company of any Notes or the proceeds of any Notes authenticated and delivered by
the Trustee  in  conformity  with  this Indenture.  The  Trustee  shall  not  be
responsible  for recording or filing this Indenture, any supplemental indenture,
or any financing or continuation statement in  any public office at any time  or
times.
 
    SECTION  9.04.  TRUSTEE, AUTHENTICATING AGENT, PAYING AGENT OR REGISTRAR MAY
OWN NOTES.   The Trustee and  any Authenticating  Agent or paying  agent in  its
individual  or other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes with the
same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent or paying
agent.
 
    SECTION 9.05.  MONEYS TO BE HELD IN TRUST.  Subject to Section 5.04  hereof,
all  moneys  received by  the Trustee  shall,  until used  or applied  as herein
provided, be held in trust  for the purposes for  which they were received,  but
need  not be segregated from  other funds except to  the extent required by law.
The Trustee may allow and credit to  the Company interest on any money  received
hereunder  at such rate,  if any, as may  be agreed upon by  the Company and the
Trustee from time to time as may be permitted by law.
 
    SECTION 9.06.  COMPENSATION AND EXPENSES OF TRUSTEE.  The Company  covenants
and  agrees to pay  to the Trustee from  time to time, and  the Trustee shall be
entitled to, reasonable compensation (which shall  not be limited by any law  in
regard  to the compensation of  a trustee of an  express trust), and the Company
shall pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses,
disbursements and advances incurred  or made by the  Trustee in accordance  with
this  Indenture  (including  the  reasonable  compensation  and  the  reasonable
expenses  and  disbursements   of  its   counsel  and   agents,  including   any
Authenticating  Agents, and of  all persons not regularly  in its employ) except
any such expense, disbursement  or advance as may  arise from its negligence  or
bad  faith. The Company also covenants to indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold
it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without  negligence
or bad faith on the part of the Trustee and arising out of or in connection with
the acceptance or administration of this trust, including the costs and expenses
of  defending  itself against  any claim  or liability.  The obligations  of the
Company under  this  Section  9.06 to  compensate  the  Trustee and  to  pay  or
reimburse  the Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute
additional indebtedness hereunder. Such additional indebtedness shall be secured
by a  lien prior  to that  of the  Notes upon  all property  and funds  held  or
collected  by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the benefit of
the Holders of any particular Notes.
 
    SECTION  9.07.    OFFICERS'  CERTIFICATE  AS  EVIDENCE.    Whenever  in  the
administration  of  this  Indenture,  the Trustee  shall  deem  it  necessary or
desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to the taking,  suffering
or  omitting  of  any  action  hereunder,  such  matter  (unless  other evidence
 
                                       32
<PAGE>
in respect thereof  is herein specifically  prescribed) may, in  the absence  of
negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively
proved and established by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee, and
such  Officers' Certificate, in  the absence of  negligence or bad  faith on the
part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action  taken,
suffered or omitted by it under this Indenture in reliance thereon.
 
    SECTION  9.08.   CONFLICTING  INTEREST  OF TRUSTEE.    The Trustee  shall be
subject to and  shall comply  with the  provisions of  Section 310  of the  TIA;
provided  that, to the extent permitted by law, Boatmen's First National Bank of
Oklahoma shall not  be deemed  to have a  conflicting interest  for purposes  of
Section  310(b) of the  TIA because of  its capacity as  trustee under the First
Mortgage. Nothing in this Indenture shall  be deemed to prohibit the Trustee  or
the Company from making any application permitted pursuant to such section.
 
    SECTION  9.09.  EXISTENCE  AND ELIGIBILITY OF  TRUSTEE.  There  shall at all
times be a Trustee hereunder which Trustee  shall at all times be a  corporation
organized  and doing business under  the laws of the  United States or any State
thereof or  of  the District  of  Columbia (or  a  corporation or  other  Person
permitted  to  act as  trustee  by the  Commission),  subject to  supervision or
examination by such bodies and authorized under such laws to exercise  corporate
trust powers and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $150,000,000.
If  such corporation publishes reports of  condition at least annually, pursuant
to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid authority, then for the  purposes
of  this Section 9.09, the combined capital and surplus shall be deemed to be as
set forth in its most recent report  of condition so published. No obligor  upon
the  Notes or Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under
common control with  such obligor shall  serve as  Trustee. If at  any time  the
Trustee  shall cease to  be eligible in  accordance with this  Section 9.09, the
Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified  in
Section 9.10 hereof.
 
    SECTION 9.10.  RESIGNATION OR REMOVAL OF TRUSTEE.
 
    (a)  Pursuant to the provisions of this Article, the Trustee may at any time
resign and  be discharged  of the  trusts created  by this  Indenture by  giving
written  notice to  the Company specifying  the day upon  which such resignation
shall take effect, and such resignation  shall take effect immediately upon  the
later of the appointment of a successor trustee and such day.
 
    (b)  Any Trustee may be  removed at any time  by an instrument or concurrent
instruments in writing filed  with such Trustee and  signed and acknowledged  by
the  Holders of a majority in principal  amount of the then outstanding Notes or
by their attorneys in fact duly authorized.
 
    (c) So long as no  Event of Default has occurred  and is continuing, and  no
event  has occurred  and is continuing  that, with  the giving of  notice or the
lapse of time or both, would become an Event of Default, the Company may  remove
any  Trustee upon written notice to the  Holder of each Note outstanding and the
Trustee.
 
    (d) If at any time (1) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in  accordance
with Section 9.09 hereof and shall fail to resign after written request therefor
by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder for at least six
months,  (2) the  Trustee shall  fail to comply  with Section  9.08 hereof after
written request therefor by the Company or  any such Holder, or (3) the  Trustee
shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or
a  receiver of  the Trustee  or its  property shall  be appointed  or any public
officer shall  take charge  or control  of the  Trustee or  of its  property  or
affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the
Trustee  may be removed forthwith by  an instrument or concurrent instruments in
writing filed with the Trustee and either:
 
        (1) signed by  the President or  any Vice President  of the Company  and
    attested by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company; or
 
        (2)  signed and acknowledged  by the Holders of  a majority in principal
    amount of outstanding Notes or by their attorneys in fact duly authorized.
 
                                       33
<PAGE>
    (e) Any resignation  or removal of  the Trustee shall  not become  effective
until  acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee as provided in Section
9.11 hereof.
 
    SECTION 9.11.  APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE.
 
    (a) If at any time the Trustee shall resign or be removed, the Company, by a
Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee.
 
    (b) The  Company  shall provide  written  notice  of its  appointment  of  a
Successor  Trustee to  the Holder  of each  Note outstanding  following any such
appointment.
 
    (c) If  no appointment  of a  successor Trustee  shall be  made pursuant  to
Section  9.11(a) hereof within 60 days  after appointment shall be required, any
Noteholder or  the  resigning  Trustee  may apply  to  any  court  of  competent
jurisdiction to appoint a successor Trustee. Said court may thereupon after such
notice, if any, as such court may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor
Trustee.
 
    (d)  Any Trustee  appointed under this  Section 9.11 as  a successor Trustee
shall be  a  bank  or trust  company  eligible  under Section  9.09  hereof  and
qualified under Section 9.08 hereof.
 
    SECTION 9.12.  ACCEPTANCE BY SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE.
 
    (a) Any successor Trustee appointed as provided in Section 9.11 hereof shall
execute,  acknowledge and deliver to the  Company and to its predecessor Trustee
an  instrument  accepting   such  appointment  hereunder,   and  thereupon   the
resignation  or removal  of the predecessor  Trustee shall  become effective and
such successor  Trustee, without  any  further act,  deed or  conveyance,  shall
become  vested  with  all the  rights,  powers,  duties and  obligations  of its
predecessor hereunder,  with  like effect  as  if originally  named  as  Trustee
herein;  but  nevertheless, on  the written  request  of the  Company or  of the
successor Trustee, the Trustee ceasing to act shall, upon payment of any amounts
then due it pursuant to Section  9.06 hereof, execute and deliver an  instrument
transferring  to such successor Trustee all the rights and powers of the Trustee
so ceasing to act, including all right,  title, and interest in the Senior  Note
First  Mortgage Bonds. Upon  request of any such  successor Trustee, the Company
shall execute  any  and all  instruments  in writing  in  order more  fully  and
certainly  to vest in and confirm to  such successor Trustee all such rights and
powers. Any Trustee ceasing to act  shall, nevertheless, retain a lien upon  all
property  or funds held or collected by  such Trustee to secure any amounts then
due it pursuant to Section 9.06 hereof.
 
    (b) No  successor  Trustee shall  accept  appointment as  provided  in  this
Section  9.12 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall
be qualified under Section 9.08 hereof and eligible under Section 9.09 hereof.
 
    (c) Upon acceptance  of appointment by  a successor Trustee  as provided  in
this  Section 9.12,  the successor Trustee  shall mail notice  of its succession
hereunder to all Holders  of Notes as  the names and  addresses of such  Holders
appear on the registry books.
 
    SECTION 9.13.  SUCCESSION BY MERGER, ETC.
 
    (a)  Any corporation into  which the Trustee  may be merged  or converted or
with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger,
conversion or  consolidation to  which the  Trustee  shall be  a party,  or  any
corporation  succeeding  to  all or  substantially  all of  the  corporate trust
business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder without
the execution or filing of any  paper or any further act  on the part of any  of
the  parties hereto, provided such corporation  shall be otherwise qualified and
eligible under this Article.
 
    (b) If at the time such successor to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts
created by this Indenture any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not
delivered, any  such successor  to  the Trustee  may  adopt the  certificate  of
authentication   of  any  predecessor   Trustee,  and  deliver   such  Notes  so
authenticated; and in case  at that time  any of the Notes  shall not have  been
authenticated,  any successor to the Trustee  may authenticate such Notes either
in the  name of  any  predecessor hereunder  or in  the  name of  the  successor
Trustee;    and   in   all    such   cases   such    certificates   shall   have
 
                                       34
<PAGE>
the full force which it is anywhere  in the Notes or in this Indenture  provided
that  the certificates  of the  Trustee shall have;  provided that  the right to
adopt  the  certificate  of  authentication   of  any  predecessor  Trustee   or
authenticate  Notes in the name  of any predecessor Trustee  shall apply only to
its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation.
 
    SECTION 9.14.  LIMITATIONS ON RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE AS A CREDITOR.
 
    The Trustee shall be  subject to, and shall  comply with, the provisions  of
Section 311 of the TIA.
 
    SECTION 9.15.  AUTHENTICATING AGENT.
 
    (a)  There may be one or more Authenticating Agents appointed by the Trustee
with the written consent  of the Company,  with power to act  on its behalf  and
subject  to the direction of  the Trustee in the  authentication and delivery of
Notes in  connection with  transfers and  exchanges under  Sections 2.06,  2.07,
2.08,  2.13, 3.03,  and 13.04 hereof,  as fully  to all intents  and purposes as
though such  Authenticating  Agents  had  been  expressly  authorized  by  those
Sections  to authenticate and deliver Notes. For all purposes of this Indenture,
the authentication and delivery of Notes by any Authenticating Agent pursuant to
this Section 9.15 shall be deemed to be the authentication and delivery of  such
Notes  "by the Trustee." Any such Authenticating  Agent shall be a bank or trust
company or other Person of the character and qualifications set forth in Section
9.09 hereof.
 
    (b) Any corporation  into which any  Authenticating Agent may  be merged  or
converted  or with  which it may  be consolidated, or  any corporation resulting
from any merger, conversion or  consolidation to which any Authenticating  Agent
shall  be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business
of any Authenticating Agent, shall be the successor of such Authenticating Agent
hereunder, if  such  successor  corporation is  otherwise  eligible  under  this
Section 9.15, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on
the  part of the parties  hereto or such Authenticating  Agent or such successor
corporation.
 
    (c) Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice
of resignation to the Trustee  and to the Company. The  Trustee may at any  time
terminate  the agency  of any Authenticating  Agent by giving  written notice of
termination to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such
a notice of resignation or upon such a  termination, or in case at any time  any
Authenticating  Agent shall  cease to be  eligible under this  Section 9.15, the
Trustee may,  with the  written  consent of  the  Company, appoint  a  successor
Authenticating  Agent,  and upon  so  doing shall  give  written notice  of such
appointment to the  Company and shall  mail, in the  manner provided in  Section
15.10, notice of such appointment to the Holders of Notes.
 
    (d) The Trustee agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time
reasonable  compensation for its services, and  the Trustee shall be entitled to
be reimbursed for such payments, in accordance with Section 9.06 hereof.
 
    (e) Sections 9.02, 9.03, 9.06, 9.07  and 9.09 hereof shall be applicable  to
any Authenticating Agent.

provided that  the Holders  of  a specified  percentage in  aggregate  principal
amount of the Notes may take any action, the fact that at the time of taking any
such  action the Holders of such specified percentage have joined therein may be
evidenced (a) by any  instrument or any number  of instruments of similar  tenor
executed  by  such Noteholders  in  person or  by  agent or  proxy  appointed in
writing, (b) by the record  of such Noteholders voting  in favor thereof at  any

hereof, or (c) by a combination of  such instrument or instruments and any  such
record of such a meeting of Noteholders.

    SECTION 10.02.  PROOF OF EXECUTION BY NOTEHOLDERS.
 
    (a)  Subject to Sections 9.01, 9.02 and 11.05 hereof, proof of the execution
of any instruments by  a Noteholder or  the agent or  proxy for such  Noteholder
shall  be  sufficient  if made  in  accordance  with such  reasonable  rules and
regulations as may be prescribed  by the Trustee or in  such manner as shall  be
satisfactory  to the  Trustee. The  ownership of  Notes shall  be proved  by the
register for the Notes maintained by the Trustee.
 
    (b) The record  of any Noteholders'  meeting shall be  proven in the  manner
provided in Section 11.06 hereof.
 
    SECTION 10.03.  WHO DEEMED ABSOLUTE OWNERS.  Subject to Sections 2.04(f) and
10.01  hereof, the Company, the Trustee, any paying agent and any Authenticating
Agent shall deem the person in whose name any Note shall be registered upon  the
register for the Notes to be, and shall treat such person as, the absolute owner
of  such Note  (whether or not  such Note shall  be overdue) for  the purpose of
receiving payment of or  on account of  the principal and  premium, if any,  and
interest  on such Note, and for all  other purposes; and neither the Company nor
the Trustee nor any paying agent nor any Authenticating Agent shall be  affected
by any notice to the contrary. All such payments shall be valid and effectual to
satisfy  and discharge the liability upon any such Note to the extent of the sum
or sums so paid.
 
    SECTION 10.04.  COMPANY-OWNED NOTES DISREGARDED.  In determining whether the
Holders of the requisite  aggregate principal amount  of outstanding Notes  have
concurred  in any direction, consent or waiver under this Indenture, Notes which
are owned by  the Company or  any other obligor  on the Notes  or by any  person
directly  or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect
common control with  the Company  or any  other obligor  on the  Notes shall  be
disregarded  and  deemed not  to  be outstanding  for  the purpose  of  any such
determination; provided  that,  for  the purposes  of  determining  whether  the
Trustee  shall be protected in relying on any such direction, consent or waiver,
only Notes which the Trustee knows are  so owned shall be so disregarded.  Notes
so  owned which have been pledged in good faith to third parties may be regarded
as outstanding  for the  purposes of  this Section  10.04 if  the pledgee  shall
establish  to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee's right to take action
with respect to  such Notes and  that the pledgee  is not a  person directly  or
indirectly  controlling  or controlled  by or  under  direct or  indirect common
control with the Company or any such other obligor. In the case of a dispute  as
to  such right,  any decision by  the Trustee  taken upon the  advice of counsel
shall be full protection to the Trustee.
 
    SECTION 10.05.  REVOCATION OF CONSENTS; FUTURE HOLDERS BOUND.  Except as may
be otherwise required in the case of  a Global Note by the applicable rules  and
regulations  of the Depositary, at any time prior to the taking of any action by
the Holders  of  the percentage  in  aggregate  principal amount  of  the  Notes
specified  in this  Indenture in  connection with such  action, any  Holder of a
Note, which has been included in the  Notes the Holders of which have  consented
to  such action may, by filing written  notice with the Trustee at the corporate
trust office of the Trustee and upon  proof of ownership as provided in  Section
10.02(a)  hereof, revoke such action so far  as it concerns such Note. Except as
aforesaid, any such action taken by the  Holder of any Note shall be  conclusive
and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of such Note
and  of  any Notes  issued  in exchange,  substitution  or upon  registration of
transfer therefor, irrespective of whether or  not any notation thereof is  made
upon such Note or such other Notes.
 
    SECTION  10.06.   RECORD DATE  FOR NOTEHOLDER  ACTS.   If the  Company shall
solicit from  the Noteholders  any  request, demand,  authorization,  direction,
notice,  consent, waiver or other act, the  Company may, at its option, by Board
Resolution, fix in advance  a record date for  the determination of  Noteholders
entitled  to  give  such  request,  demand,  authorization,  direction,  notice,
consent, waiver or other act, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so.
If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization,  direction,
notice,  consent, waiver or  other act may  be given before  or after the record
date, but only the Noteholders of record at the close of business on the  record
date  shall be deemed to  be Noteholders for the  purpose of determining whether
Holders of the requisite
 
                                       36
<PAGE>
aggregate principal amount  of outstanding  Notes have authorized  or agreed  or
consented  to such  request, demand, authorization,  direction, notice, consent,
waiver or  other  act, and  for  that purpose  the  outstanding Notes  shall  be
computed  as  of  the  record  date;  provided  that  no  such  request, demand,
authorization,  direction,  notice,  consent,  waiver   or  other  act  by   the
Noteholders  on the record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become
effective pursuant to this Indenture not later than six months after the  record
date.  Any such record date shall  be at least 30 days  prior to the date of the
solicitation to the Noteholders by the Company.

interest need not be made  on such date but may  be made on the next  succeeding
Business  Day with the same force and affect  as if made on the date of maturity
or the date fixed for redemption, and, in the case of timely payment thereof, no
interest shall accrue for the period  from and after such Interest Payment  Date

    This Global Note is a global security in respect of a duly authorized  issue
of Senior Notes, Series     (the "NOTES OF THIS SERIES", which term includes any
Global  Notes representing such  Notes) of the  Company issued and  to be issued
under an Indenture dated as of October 1, 1995 between the Company and Boatmen's
First National Bank of Oklahoma, as trustee (the "TRUSTEE", which term  includes
any  successor Trustee under the  Indenture) and indentures supplemental thereto
(collectively, the  "INDENTURE"). Under  the Indenture,  one or  more series  of
notes may be issued and, as used herein, the term "Notes" refers to the Notes of
this  Series and any other outstanding series of Notes. Reference is hereby made
for a more complete statement of  the respective rights, limitations of  rights,
duties  and immunities under the  Indenture of the Company,  the Trustee and the
Noteholders  and  of  the  terms  upon  which  the  Notes  are  and  are  to  be
authenticated  and delivered. This Global Note has been issued in respect of the
series designated  on the  first  page hereof,  limited in  aggregate  principal
amount to $      .
 
    Prior  to  the Release  Date  (as hereinafter  defined),  the Notes  will be
secured by  first  mortgage  bonds  (the "SENIOR  NOTE  FIRST  MORTGAGE  BONDS")
delivered  by the Company to  the Trustee for the benefit  of the Holders of the
Notes, issued under the Trust Indenture, dated as of February 1, 1945, from  the
Company  to Boatmen's First  National Bank of Oklahoma,  as successor trustee to
The First  National Bank  and  Trust Company  of  Oklahoma City  (the  "MORTGAGE
TRUSTEE"),  as supplemented  and modified (collectively,  the "FIRST MORTGAGE").
Reference is made to the First Mortgage  and the Indenture for a description  of
the rights of the Trustee as holder of the Senior Note First Mortgage Bonds, the
property  mortgaged and pledged, under the First  Mortgage and the rights of the
Company and  of  the  Mortgage  Trustee  in  respect  thereof,  the  duties  and
immunities  of the Mortgage Trustee and the  terms and conditions upon which the
Senior Note First Mortgage Bonds are  secured and the circumstances under  which
additional first mortgage bonds may be issued.
 
    FROM AND AFTER SUCH TIME AS ALL FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS (OTHER THAN SENIOR NOTE
FIRST  MORTGAGE BONDS) ISSUED UNDER THE FIRST MORTGAGE HAVE BEEN RETIRED THROUGH
PAYMENT, REDEMPTION OR OTHERWISE (INCLUDING  THOSE FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS  "DEEMED
TO BE PAID"
 
                                      A-2
<PAGE>
WITHIN  THE MEANING OF THAT TERM AS USED IN ARTICLE X OF THE FIRST MORTGAGE) AT,
BEFORE OR AFTER THE MATURITY THEREOF (THE "RELEASE DATE"), THE SENIOR NOTE FIRST
MORTGAGE BONDS  SHALL  CEASE TO  SECURE  THE NOTES  IN  ANY MANNER.  IN  CERTAIN
CIRCUMSTANCES  PRIOR  TO THE  RELEASE  DATE AS  PROVIDED  IN THE  INDENTURE, THE
COMPANY IS PERMITTED  TO REDUCE THE  AGGREGATE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT  OF A SERIES  OF
SENIOR  NOTE FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS HELD BY THE  TRUSTEE, BUT IN NO EVENT PRIOR TO
THE RELEASE DATE TO AMOUNT LESS THAN THE AGGREGATE OUTSTANDING PRINCIPAL  AMOUNT
OF  THE SERIES OF NOTES INITIALLY ISSUED CONTEMPORANEOUSLY WITH SUCH SENIOR NOTE
FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS.
 
    Each Note of this  Series shall be dated  and issued as of  the date of  its
authentication  by the Trustee and  shall bear an Original  Issue Date or Dates.
Each Note or Global Note issued upon transfer, exchange or substitution of  such
Note  or  Global  Note shall  bear  the Original  Issue  Date or  Dates  of such
transferred, exchanged or substituted Note or Global Note, as the case may be.
 
    [As applicable, one of the following two sentences: This Global Note may not
be redeemed prior to             , 19 . This Global Note is not redeemable prior

increments of  $1,000 (provided  that  any remaining  principal amount  of  this
Global  Note shall  be at least  $100,000) at the  option of the  Company at the
following redemption prices (expressed as  a percentage of the principal  amount
to be redeemed) plus accrued interest to the redemption date:

Notice  of redemption will be  given by mail to Holders  of Notes of this Series
not less than 30 or  more than 60 days prior  to the date fixed for  redemption,
all as provided in the Indenture. In the event of redemption of this Global Note
in  part only,  a new  Global Note  or Notes  of like  tenor and  series for the
unredeemed portion hereof will  be issued in the  name of the Noteholder  hereof
upon the surrender hereof.]
 
    Interest  payments for this  Global Note shall  be computed and  paid on the
basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. If any Interest Payment Date or
date on which the principal of this Global Note is required to be paid is not  a
Business Day, then payment of principal, premium or interest need not be made on
such  date but  may be made  on the next  succeeding Business Day  with the same
force and effect as if made on such  Interest Payment Date or date on which  the
principal  of this Global Note is required to be paid and, in the case of timely
payment thereof, no  interest shall accrue  for the period  from and after  such
Interest  Payment Date or the date on which the principal of this Global Note is
required to be paid.
 
    The Company, at its option, and subject to the terms and conditions provided
in the Indenture, will be discharged from any and all obligations in respect  of
the  Notes (except for certain obligations including obligations to register the
transfer or exchange of Notes, replace stolen, lost or mutilated Notes, maintain
paying agencies and hold monies  for payment in trust, all  as set forth in  the
Indenture)  if  the Company  deposits with  the  Trustee money,  U.S. Government
Obligations which through the payment of interest thereon and principal  thereof
in accordance with their terms will provide money, or a combination of money and
U.S.  Government  Obligations, in  any event  in  an amount  sufficient, without
reinvestment, to pay all the  principal of and any  premium and interest on  the
Notes  on the dates  such payments are due  in accordance with  the terms of the
Notes.
 
    If an Event of Default shall occur  and be continuing, the principal of  the
Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided
in  the  Indenture  and,  upon  such declaration,  the  Trustee  can  demand the
redemption of the Senior Note First Mortgage Bonds as provided in the Indenture.
 
    The Indenture  permits, with  certain exceptions  as therein  provided,  the
amendment  thereof and  the modifications of  the rights and  obligations of the
Company and the rights of the Noteholders
 
                                      A-3
<PAGE>
under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the  consent
of  the  Holders  of  not  less  than a  majority  in  principal  amount  of the
outstanding Notes. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Global  Note
shall  be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of
this Global Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof
or in exchange  therefor or  in lieu  thereof whether  or not  notation of  such
consent or waiver is made upon the Note.
 
    As set forth in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, no Holder of
any  Notes will have any  right to institute any  proceeding with respect to the
Indenture or for any remedy thereunder unless such Holder shall have  previously
given  to  the Trustee  written notice  of  a continuing  Event of  Default with
respect to such  Notes, the Holders  of not  less than a  majority in  principal
amount  of the outstanding  Notes affected by  such Event of  Default shall have
made written  request  and  offered  reasonable  indemnity  to  the  Trustee  to
institute  such  proceeding as  Trustee  and the  Trustee  shall have  failed to
institute such proceeding within 60 days; provided that such limitations do  not
apply  to a suit instituted by the  Holder hereof for the enforcement of payment
of the principal of  and any premium or  interest on this Note  on or after  the
respective due dates expressed here.
 
    No  reference herein to the Indenture and  to provisions of this Global Note
or of the Indenture shall alter or  impair the obligation of the Company,  which
is  absolute and  unconditional, to  pay the  principal of  and any  premium and
interest on this  Global Note at  the times, places  and rates and  the coin  or
currency prescribed in the Indenture.
 
    As  provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, this  Global Note  may be  transferred only  as permitted  by the  legend
hereto.
 
    If at any time the Depositary for this Global Note notifies the Company that
it  is unwilling or unable to continue as  Depositary for this Global Note or if
at any time the Depositary for this  Global Note shall no longer be eligible  or
in good standing under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or other
applicable  statute  or  regulation,  the  Company  shall  appoint  a  successor
Depositary with respect to this Global Note. If a successor Depositary for  this
Global  Note is not  appointed by the  Company within 90  days after the Company
receives such  notice or  becomes  aware of  such ineligibility,  the  Company's
election  to issue this  Note in global  form shall no  longer be effective with
respect to this Global Note and the Company will execute, and the Trustee,  upon
receipt  of a  Company Order for  the authentication and  delivery of individual
Notes of this  Series in exchange  for this Global  Note, will authenticate  and
deliver  individual Notes of this  Series of like tenor  and terms in definitive
form in an  aggregate principal  amount equal to  the principal  amount of  this
Global Note.
 
    The  Company may at any  time and in its  sole discretion determine that all
Notes of this Series (but not less than  all) issued or issuable in the form  of
one  or more Global Notes shall no longer  be represented by such Global Note or
Notes. In such event, the Company  shall execute, and the Trustee, upon  receipt
of  a Company Order for  the authentication and delivery  of individual Notes of
this Series in exchange  for such Global Note,  shall authenticate and  deliver,
individual Notes of this Series of like tenor and terms in definitive form in an
aggregate  principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Note or
Notes in exchange for such Global Note or Notes.
 
    Under certain circumstances specified in  the Indenture, the Depositary  may
be required to surrender any two or more Global Notes which have identical terms
(but  which may  have differing  Original Issue Dates)  to the  Trustee, and the
Company shall execute and the Trustee  shall authenticate and deliver to, or  at
the  direction of, the Depositary a Global  Note in principal or amount equal to
the aggregate principal amount of, and  with all terms identical to, the  Global
Notes  surrendered thereto and that shall  indicate all Original Issue Dates and
the principal amount applicable to each such Original Issue Date.
 
    The Indenture  and  the  Notes  shall  be  governed  by,  and  construed  in
accordance with, the laws of the State of Oklahoma.

payable  and punctually paid or  duly provided for on  any such Interest Payment
Date will, as  provided in  the Indenture  (as defined  below), be  paid to  the

"NOTES OF  THIS  SERIES") of  the  Company issued  and  to be  issued  under  an
Indenture  dated as of October  1, 1995 between the  Company and Boatmen's First
National Bank of Oklahoma,  as trustee (the "TRUSTEE",  which term includes  any
successor  Trustee  under  the Indenture)  and  indentures  supplemental thereto
(collectively, the  "INDENTURE"). Under  the Indenture,  one or  more series  of
notes may be issued and, as used herein, the term "Notes" refers to the Notes of
this  Series and any other outstanding series of Notes. Reference is hereby made
for a more complete statement of  the respective rights, limitations of  rights,
duties  and immunities under the  Indenture of the Company,  the Trustee and the
Noteholders  and  of  the  terms  upon  which  the  Notes  are  and  are  to  be
authenticated  and delivered. This Note  is one of the  series designated on the
face hereof, limited in aggregate principal amount to $       .
 
    Prior to  the Release  Date  (as hereinafter  defined),  the Notes  will  be

Notes,  issued under the Trust Indenture, dated as of February 1, 1945, from the
Company to Boatmen's First  National Bank of Oklahoma,  as successor trustee  to
The  First  National Bank  and  Trust Company  of  Oklahoma City  (the "MORTGAGE
TRUSTEE"), as supplemented  and modified (collectively,  the "FIRST  MORTGAGE").

the rights of the Trustee as holder of the Senior Note First Mortgage Bonds, the
property mortgaged and pledged  under the First Mortgage  and the rights of  the
Company  and  of  the  Mortgage  Trustee  in  respect  thereof,  the  duties and
immunities of the Mortgage Trustee and  the terms and conditions upon which  the
Senior  Note First Mortgage Bonds are  secured and the circumstances under which
additional first mortgage bonds may be issued.
 
    FROM AND AFTER SUCH TIME AS ALL FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS (OTHER THAN SENIOR NOTE
FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS) ISSUED UNDER THE FIRST MORTGAGE HAVE BEEN RETIRED  THROUGH
PAYMENT,  REDEMPTION OR OTHERWISE (INCLUDING  THOSE FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS "DEEMED
TO BE PAID" WITHIN THE MEANING  OF THAT TERM AS USED  IN ARTICLE X OF THE  FIRST
MORTGAGE)  AT, BEFORE  OR AFTER THE  MATURITY THEREOF (THE  "RELEASE DATE"), THE
SENIOR NOTE FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS SHALL CEASE TO SECURE THE NOTES IN ANY  MANNER.
IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES PRIOR TO THE RELEASE DATE AS PROVIDED IN THE INDENTURE,
THE COMPANY IS PERMITTED TO REDUCE THE AGGREGATE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF A SERIES OF
SENIOR  NOTE FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS HELD BY THE  TRUSTEE, BUT IN NO EVENT PRIOR TO
THE RELEASE DATE TO AMOUNT LESS THAN THE AGGREGATE OUTSTANDING PRINCIPAL  AMOUNT
OF  THE SERIES OF NOTES INITIALLY ISSUED CONTEMPORANEOUSLY WITH SUCH SENIOR NOTE

in  increments of $1,000  (provided that any remaining  principal amount of this
Note shall be at  least $1,000) at  the option of the  Company at the  following

           ------------------                      -----------------
</TABLE>
 
Notice of redemption will be  given by mail to Holders  of Notes of this  Series
not  less than 30 or more  than 60 days prior to  the date fixed for redemption,

                                      B-3
<PAGE>
redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes of this Series of like
tenor for  the unredeemed  portion hereof  will be  issued in  the name  of  the
Noteholder hereof upon the surrender hereof.]
 
    Interest payments for this Note shall be computed and paid on the basis of a
360-day  year of twelve 30-day months. If  any Interest Payment Date or the date
on which the principal of this Note is  required to paid is not a Business  Day,
then payment of principal, premium or interest need not be made on such date but
may  be made on the next succeeding Business  Day with the same force and effect
as if made on such Interest Payment Date  or the date on which the principal  of
this Note is required to be paid, and, in the case of timely payment thereof, no
interest  shall accrue for the period from  and after such Interest Payment Date
or the date on which the principal of this Note is required to be paid.
 
    The Company, at its option, and subject to the terms and conditions provided
in the Indenture, will be discharged from any and all obligations in respect  of
the  Notes (except for certain obligations including obligations to register the
transfer or exchange of Notes, replace stolen, lost or mutilated Notes, maintain
paying agencies and hold monies  for payment in trust, all  as set forth in  the
Indenture)  if  the Company  deposits with  the  Trustee money,  U.S. Government
Obligations which through the payment of interest thereon and principal  thereof
in accordance with their terms will provide money, or a combination of money and
U.S.  Government  Obligations, in  any event  in  an amount  sufficient, without
reinvestment, to pay all the  principal of and any  premium and interest on  the
Notes  on the dates  such payments are due  in accordance with  the terms of the
Notes.
 
    If an Event of Default shall occur  and be continuing, the principal of  the
Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided
in  the  Indenture  and,  upon  such declaration,  the  Trustee  can  demand the
redemption of the Senior Note First Mortgage Bonds as provided in the Indenture.
 
    The Indenture  permits, with  certain exceptions  as therein  provided,  the
amendment  thereof and  the modifications of  the rights and  obligations of the
Company and the rights of the Noteholders under the Indenture at any time by the
Company and the  Trustee with  the consent  of the Holders  of not  less than  a
majority  in  principal amount  of the  outstanding Notes.  Any such  consent or
waiver by the  Holder of this  Note shall  be conclusive and  binding upon  such
Holder  and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the
registration of transfer hereof or in exchange therefor in lieu thereof  whether
or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon the Note.
 
    As set forth in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, no Holder of
any  Notes will have any  right to institute any  proceeding with respect to the
Indenture or for any remedy thereunder unless such Holder shall have  previously
given  to  the Trustee  written notice  of  a continuing  Event of  Default with
respect to such  Notes, the Holders  of not  less than a  majority in  principal
amount  of the outstanding  Notes affected by  such Event of  Default shall have
made written  request  and  offered  reasonable  indemnity  to  the  Trustee  to
institute  such  proceeding as  Trustee  and the  Trustee  shall have  failed to
institute such proceeding within 60 days; provided that such limitations do  not
apply  to a suit instituted by the  Holder hereof for the enforcement of payment
of the principal of  and any premium or  interest on this Note  on or after  the
respective due dates expressed here.
 
    No  reference herein to the  Indenture and to provisions  of this Note or of
the Indenture shall  alter or  impair the obligation  of the  Company, which  is
absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest
on  this Note at the times, places and rates and the coin or currency prescribed
in the Indenture.
 
    As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein  set
forth,  the transfer  of this  Note is  registrable in  the Note  register. Upon
surrender of  this Note  for registration  or transfer  at the  corporate  trust
office of the Trustee or such other office or agency as may be designated by the
Company in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York, endorsed by
or  accompanied by a written instrument of  transfer in form satisfactory to the
Company and the Note registrar, duly
 
                                      B-4
<PAGE>

authorized in writing, one or more new Notes of this Series of like tenor and of
authorized  denominations and  for the same  aggregate principal  amount will be
issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
 
    The Notes  of this  Series are  issuable only  in registered  form,  without
coupons,  in  denominations  of $1,000  and  any integral  multiple  thereof. As
provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set  forth,
Notes  of this Series are exchangeable for  a like aggregate principal amount of
Notes of this Series of like  tenor and of a different authorized  denomination,
as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
 
    No  service charge shall  be made for  any such registration  of transfer or
exchange but the Company may  require payment of a  sum sufficient to cover  any
tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
 
    Prior  to due  presentment of  this Note  for registration  of transfer, the
Company, the Trustee and any agent of  the Company or the Trustee may treat  the
Person  in  whose name  this Note  is registered  as the  owner thereof  for all
purposes, whether or  not this  Note is overdue,  and neither  the Company,  the
Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
 
    The  Indenture  and  the  Notes  shall  be  governed  by,  and  construed in
accordance with, the laws of the State of Oklahoma.
 
    All terms used in this  Note which are defined  in the Indenture shall  have
the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

reinvestment, to pay all the  principal of and any  premium and interest on  the
Notes  on the dates  such payments are due  in accordance with  the terms of the

in the Indenture.
 
    The  Indenture  permits, with  certain exceptions  as therein  provided, the

Company and the rights of the Noteholders under the Indenture at any time by the
Company  and the  Trustee with  the consent of  the Holders  of not  less than a
majority in  principal amount  of the  outstanding Notes.  Any such  consent  or
waiver  by the Holder of  this Global Note shall  be conclusive and binding upon
such Holder and  upon all future  Holders of this  Global Note and  of any  Note
issued  upon the registration of  transfer hereof or in  exchange therefor or in
lieu thereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon  the
Note.
 
    As set forth in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, no Holder of
any  Notes will have any  right to institute any  proceeding with respect to the
Indenture or for any remedy thereunder unless such Holder shall have  previously

respect to such  Notes, the Holders  of not  less than a  majority in  principal
amount  of the outstanding  Notes affected by  such Event of  Default shall have
made written  request  and  offered  reasonable  indemnity  to  the  Trustee  to
institute  such  proceeding as  Trustee  and the  Trustee  shall have  failed to
institute  such  proceeding  within  60  days;  PROVIDED,  HOWEVER,  that   such
limitations  do not  apply to  a suit  instituted by  the Holder  hereof for the
enforcement of payment of the principal of  and any premium or interest on  this
Note on or after the respective due dates expressed here.
 
    No  reference herein to the Indenture and  to provisions of this Global Note

is  absolute and  unconditional, to  pay the  principal of  and any  premium and
interest on this  Global Note at  the times, places  and rates and  the coin  or
currency prescribed in the Indenture.

it  is unwilling or unable to continue as  Depositary for this Global Note or if
at any time the Depositary for this Global

Notes. In such event, the Company  shall execute, and the Trustee, upon  receipt
of  a Company Order for  the authentication and delivery  of individual Notes of
this Series in exchange  for such Global Note,  shall authenticate and  deliver,
individual Notes of this Series of like tenor and terms in definitive form in an
aggregate  principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Note or
Notes in exchange for such Global Note or Notes.
 
    Under certain circumstances specified in  the Indenture, the Depositary  may
be required to surrender any two or more Global Notes which have identical terms
(but  which may  have differing  Original Issue Dates)  to the  Trustee, and the
Company shall execute and the Trustee  shall authenticate and deliver to, or  at
the  direction of, the Depositary a Global  Note in principal or amount equal to
the aggregate principal amount of, and  with all terms identical to, the  Global
Notes  surrendered thereto and that shall  indicate all Original Issue Dates and
the principal amount applicable to each such Original Issue Date.
 
    The Indenture  and  the  Notes  shall  be  governed  by,  and  construed  in
accordance with, the laws of the State of Oklahoma.
 
    Unless  the certificate  of authentication hereon  has been  executed by the
Trustee, directly or through an Authenticating  Agent by manual signature of  an
authorized  officer, this Global Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under
the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.
 
    All terms used in this Global Note which are defined in the Indenture  shall
have  the meanings assigned to them  in the Indenture unless otherwise indicated
herein.

a Business Day, then payment of principal, premium or interest need not be  made
on  such date but may be made on  the next succeeding Business Day with the same
force and effect as if made on such  Interest Payment Date or the date on  which
the  principal of this Note is  required to be paid, and,  in the case of timely
payment thereof, no  interest shall accrue  for the period  from and after  such

the  Notes (except for certain obligations including obligations to register the
transfer or exchange of Notes, replace stolen, lost or mutilated Notes, maintain
paying agencies and hold monies  for payment in trust, all  as set forth in  the
Indenture)  if  the Company  deposits with  the  Trustee money,  U.S. Government
Obligations which through the payment of interest thereon and principal  thereof
in accordance with their terms will provide money, or a combination of money and
U.S.  Government  Obligations, in  any event  in  an amount  sufficient, without
reinvestment, to pay all the  principal of and any  premium and interest on  the
Notes  on the dates  such payments are due  in accordance with  the terms of the
Notes.
 
    If an Event of Default shall occur  and be continuing, the principal of  the
Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided

Company and the rights of the Noteholders under the Indenture at any time by the
Company  and the  Trustee with  the consent of  the Holders  of not  less than a
majority in  principal amount  of the  outstanding Notes.  Any such  consent  or
waiver  by the  Holder of this  Note shall  be conclusive and  binding upon such
Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon  the
registration  of transfer hereof or in exchange therefor in lieu thereof whether
or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon the Note.
 
    As set forth in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, no Holder of
any Notes will have any  right to institute any  proceeding with respect to  the
Indenture  or for any remedy thereunder unless such Holder shall have previously
given to  the Trustee  written notice  of  a continuing  Event of  Default  with
respect  to such  Notes, the Holders  of not  less than a  majority in principal
amount of the  outstanding Notes affected  by such Event  of Default shall  have
made  written  request  and  offered  reasonable  indemnity  to  the  Trustee to
institute such  proceeding as  Trustee  and the  Trustee  shall have  failed  to
institute   such  proceeding  within  60  days;  PROVIDED,  however,  that  such
limitations do not  apply to  a suit  instituted by  the Holder  hereof for  the
enforcement  of payment of the principal of  and any premium or interest on this
Note on or after the respective due dates expressed here.
 
    No reference herein to the  Indenture and to provisions  of this Note or  of
the  Indenture shall  alter or  impair the obligation  of the  Company, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest
on this Note at the times, places and rates and the coin or currency  prescribed
in the Indenture.

Company in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York, endorsed by
or accompanied by a written instrument  of transfer in form satisfactory to  the
Company  and  the Note  registrar, duly  executed  by the  Holder hereof  or the
attorney in fact  of such Holder  duly authorized  in writing, one  or more  new
Notes  of this Series of like tenor  and of authorized denominations and for the
same aggregate principal amount will be  issued to the designated transferee  or
transferees.

provided  in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
Notes of this Series are exchangeable  for a like aggregate principal amount  of
Notes  of this Series of like tenor  and of a different authorized denomination,
as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
 
    No service charge  shall be made  for any such  registration of transfer  or
exchange  but the Company may  require payment of a  sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
 
    Prior to due  presentment of  this Note  for registration  of transfer,  the
Company,  the Trustee and any agent of the  Company or the Trustee may treat the
Person in  whose name  this Note  is registered  as the  owner thereof  for  all
purposes,  whether or  not this  Note is overdue,  and neither  the Company, the
Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

    SECTION 3.01
 
    [(a)  From and after  the Release Date and  so long as  any Senior Notes due
               are outstanding, the Company will not issue, assume or  guarantee
any  Debt secured  by any  mortgage, security  interest, pledge  or lien (herein
referred to as a "mortgage") of or  upon any Operating Property of the  Company,
whether  owned at the date of the Indenture or thereafter acquired, and will not
permit to exist any Debt secured by a mortgage on any Operating Property created
on or prior to the Release Date, without in any such case effectively  securing,
on  the later to occur of the issuance,  assumption or guaranty of any such Debt
or the Release Date,  the outstanding Senior Notes  due
(together  with,  if  the  Company  shall  so  determine,  any  other  Notes  or
indebtedness or obligation of or guaranteed by the Company ranking senior to, or
equally with, the  Notes and then  existing or thereafter  created) equally  and
ratably  with such Debt; provided, however, that the foregoing restriction shall
not apply to Debt secured by any of the following:
 
        (1) mortgages  on  any property  existing  at the  time  of  acquisition
    thereof;
 
        (2)  mortgages on  property of a  corporation existing at  the time such
    corporation is merged into or consolidated with the Company, or at the  time
    of  a sale, lease or other disposition of the properties of such corporation
    or a division thereof as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to  the
    Company,   provided  that  such  mortgage  as   a  result  of  such  merger,
    consolidation, sale, lease or other disposition is not extended to  property
    owned by the Company immediately prior thereto;
 
        (3)  mortgages  on  property  to  secure all  or  part  of  the  cost of
    acquiring, substantially repairing or altering, constructing, developing  or
    substantially improving such property, or to secure indebtedness incurred to
    provide  funds for any such purpose or for reimbursement of funds previously
    expended for  any  such purpose,  provided  such mortgages  are  created  or
    assumed  contemporaneously with, or within 18 months after, such acquisition
    or completion of substantial repair or alteration, construction, development
    or substantial improvement  or within  six months thereafter  pursuant to  a
    commitment  for financing arranged with a  lender or investor within such 18
    month period;
 
        (4) mortgages in  favor of  the United States  of America  or any  State
    thereof,   or  any  department,  agency   or  instrumentality  or  political
    subdivision of the United States of America or any state thereof, or for the
    benefit of holders of  securities issued by any  such entity, to secure  any
    Debt  incurred for the purpose of financing  all or any part of the purchase
    price or  the cost  of substantially  repairing or  altering,  constructing,
    developing   or  substantially  improving  the   property  subject  to  such
    mortgages; or
 
        (5) any  extension, renewal  or replacement  (or successive  extensions,
    renewals  or replacements), in whole or in part, of any mortgage referred to
    in the foregoing clauses (1) to (4), inclusive; provided, however, that  the
    principal   amount  of  indebtedness  secured   thereby  and  not  otherwise
    authorized by  said clauses  (1) to  (4), inclusive,  shall not  exceed  the
    principal  amount  of  indebtedness,  plus any  premium  or  fee  payable in
    connection with any such  extension, renewal or  replacement, so secured  at
    the time of such extension, renewal or replacement.
 
    (b)  Notwithstanding the provisions  of Section 3.01(a),  from and after the
Release Date and  so long as  any Senior Notes  due                          are
outstanding, the Company may issue, assume or guarantee Debt, or permit to exist
Debt,  secured by mortgages which would otherwise be subject to the restrictions
of Section 3.01(a) up to an  aggregate principal amount that, together with  the
principal  amount of all other  Debt of the Company  secured by mortgages (other
than mortgages permitted by Section 3.01(a)  that would otherwise be subject  to
the   foregoing  restrictions)  and  the  Value   of  all  Sale  and  Lease-Back
Transactions in  existence at  such time  (other than  any Sale  and  Lease-Back
Transaction  that, if such Sale and  Lease-Back Transaction had been a mortgage,
would

have  been  permitted  by  Section  3.01(a),  other  than  Sale  and  Lease-Back
Transactions permitted by Section 3.02 because the commitment by or on behalf of
the  purchaser was obtained  no later than  18 months after  the later of events
described in  clause (i)  or  (ii) of  Section 3.02,  and  other than  Sale  and
Lease-Back  Transactions as  to which application  of amounts have  been made in
accordance with clause (z)  of Section 3.02),  does not at  the time exceed  the
greater of 10% of Net Tangible Assets or 10% of Capitalization.
 
    (c)  If at any  time the Company  shall issue, assume  or guarantee any Debt
secured by any  mortgage and if  Section 3.01(a) requires  that the  outstanding
Senior  Notes due                      be  secured equally and ratably with such
Debt, the  Company  will  promptly  execute, at  its  expense,  any  instruments
necessary  to so equally and ratably secure such series of Notes and deliver the
same to the Trustee along with:
 
        (1) An Officers' Certificate  stating that the  covenant of the  Company
           contained in Section 3.01(a) has been complied with; and
 
        (2)  An Opinion  of Counsel  to the effect  that such  covenant has been
           complied with, and that  any instruments executed  by the Company  in
           the performance of such covenant comply with the requirements of such
           covenant.
 
    In  the event  that the  Company shall  hereafter secure  outstanding Senior
Notes due                     equally  and ratably with any other obligation  or
indebtedness  (including other Notes) pursuant to the provisions of this Section
3.01, the Trustee is hereby authorized  to enter into an indenture or  agreement
supplemental hereto and to take such action, if any, as it may deem advisable to
enable  it to enforce  effectively the rights  of the holders  of such series of
Notes  so  secured,  equally  and   ratably  with  such  other  obligation   and
indebtedness.
 
    SECTION  3.02.  From  and after the Release  Date and so  long as any Senior
Notes due                   are outstanding, the Company will not enter into any
Sale and Lease-Back Transaction with respect to any Operating Property and  will
not  permit to remain in effect any Sale and Lease-Back Transaction entered into
on or prior to the  Release Date with respect to  any Operating Property if,  in
any  case, the commitment by or on behalf of the purchaser is obtained more than
18 months after the later of (i) the completion of the acquisition,  substantial
repair  or alteration,  construction, development or  substantial improvement of
such Operating  Property or  (ii) the  placing in  operation of  such  Operating
Property  or of such Operating Property as so substantially repaired or altered,
constructed, developed or substantially improved,  unless (x) the Company  would
be  entitled  pursuant to  Section 3.01(a)  to issue,  assume or  guarantee Debt
secured by a  mortgage on such  Operating Property without  equally and  ratably
securing  the Senior Notes due              or (y) the Company would be entitled
pursuant to Section  3.01(b), after giving  effect to such  Sale and  Lease-Back
Transaction,  to incur $1.00 of additional Debt secured by mortgages (other than
mortgages permitted by Section 3.01(a)) or (z) the Company shall apply or  cause
to  be applied, in the case  of a sale or transfer  for cash, an amount equal to
the net  proceeds thereof  (but not  in excess  of the  net book  value of  such
Operating  Property at the date of such sale  or transfer) and, in the case of a
sale or transfer otherwise than for cash, an amount equal to the fair value  (as
determined  by the Board of  Directors) of the Operating  Property so leased, to
the retirement, within 180 days after the  later to occur of the effective  date
of  such Sale and Lease-Back Transaction or  the Release Date, of Notes or other
Debt of the  Company ranking senior  to, or equally  with, the Notes;  provided,
however, that any such retirement of Notes shall be in accordance with the terms
and  provisions of the Indenture  and the Notes and  provided, further, that the
amount to be applied to such retirement of Notes or other Debt shall be  reduced
by  an amount equal  to the sum of  (a) an amount equal  to the redemption price
with respect to Notes  delivered within such 180-day  period to the Trustee  for
retirement  and cancellation and  (b) the principal amount,  plus any premium or
fee paid in connection with any redemption in accordance with the terms of other
Debt voluntarily retired by the Company within such 180-day period, excluding in
each  case  retirements  pursuant  to  mandatory  sinking  fund  or   prepayment
provisions and payments at maturity.

Oklahoma Gas and Electric Company

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73101

             Re:  $300,000,000 Principal Amount of Securities


Gentlemen:


     We have examined the Form S-3 Registration Statement, dated April 5, 
1996 (the "Registration Statement"), of Oklahoma Gas and Electric Company 
(the "Company"), to which this opinion is an exhibit, for the registration 
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), of an aggregate 
principal amount of $300,000,000 of notes ("Senior Notes") issued under the 
Indenture, dated October 1, 1995, as heretofore supplemented and amended by a 
supplemental indenture and a new supplemental indenture for each series of 
Senior Notes, all from the Company to Boatmen's First National Bank of 
Oklahoma, as trustee (such Indenture, as supplemented and as to be 
supplemented, is herein referred to as the "Senior Note Indenture"), which 
Senior Notes are to be secured by First Mortgage Bonds of one or more series 
(the "Bonds") to be issued under the Trust Indenture dated February 1, 1945 
as heretofore supplemented and amended by supplemental trust indentures and a 
new supplemental trust indenture (the "New Supplemental Indentures") for each 
series of Bonds all from the Company to Boatmen's First National Bank of 
Oklahoma, as successor trustee (such Trust Indenture, as supplemented and as 
to be supplemented, is herein referred to as the "First Mortgage Indenture"). 
The Senior Notes and the Bonds which are to secure such Senior Notes are 
herein referred to collectively as the "Securities". We have examined all 
records, instruments, and documents which we have deemed necessary for the 
purposes of this opinion, including the Registration Statement on Form S-3 
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, relating to the Securities to 
be filed by the Company pursuant to the Act.


     Based upon the foregoing and upon our general familiarity with the 
properties and affairs of the Company, we are of the opinion that:

     1.  The Company is a validly organized and legally existing corporation, 
in good standing under the laws of the State of


<PAGE>

Oklahoma and is authorized to conduct and operate its business as a public 
utility in the State of Oklahoma.


     2.  The First Mortgage Indenture, other than the New Supplemental 
Indentures, is a legal, valid, and binding instrument of the Company.


     3.  The Senior Note Indenture, other than any new supplemental 
indentures, is a valid, legal and binding instrument of the Company.


     4.  When, as and if the Registration Statement on Form S-3, to which 
this opinion is an exhibit, becomes effective pursuant to the provisions of 
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and the Arkansas Public Service 
Commission has authorized the issuance and sale of the Securities and (a) 
with respect to the Senior Notes, when, as and if the Senior Notes and one or 
more new supplemental indentures relating thereto have been duly executed and 
delivered, and the consideration for the Senior Notes duly received by the 
Company, all in the manner contemplated by the said Registration Statement, 
and (b) with respect to the Bonds, when, as and if the Bonds and one or more 
New Supplemental Trust Indentures relating thereto have been duly authorized, 
executed, delivered, filed and recorded as required by law, all in the manner 
contemplated by the said Registration Statement, the Bonds and the Senior 
Notes will be legally issued and binding obligations of the Company.


     5.  The statements made in the above-mentioned Registration Statement 
and in the related Prospectus, purporting to be made or based upon our 
opinion correctly set forth our opinion upon said respective matters.

                                                    Respectfully,

                                                    RAINEY, ROSS, RICE & BINNS

                    BOATMEN'S FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF OKLAHOMA
                         AMENDED ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION

For the purpose of organizing an association to carry on the business of banking
under the laws of the United States, the undersigned do enter into the following
articles of association:

FIRST.    The title of this association shall be Boatmen's First National Bank
of Oklahoma.

SECOND.    The main office of the association shall be in Oklahoma City, county
of Oklahoma, state of Oklahoma.  The general business of the association shall
be conducted at its main office and its branches.

THIRD.  The board of directors of this association shall consist of not less
than five nor more than twenty-five shareholders, the exact number to be fixed
and determined from time to time by resolution of a majority of the full board
of directors or by resolution of the shareholders at any annual or special
meeting thereof.  Each director, during the full term of his or her
directorship, shall own a minimum of $1,000 aggregate par value of stock of this
association or a minimum par market value or equity interest of $1,000 of stock
in the bank holding company controlling this association.  Any vacancy in the
board of directors may be filled by action of the board of directors.

FOURTH.  There shall be an annual meeting of the shareholders to elect directors
and transact whatever other business may be brought before the meeting.  It
shall be held at the main office or any other convenient place the board of
directors may designate, on the day of each year specified therefore in the
bylaws, but if no election is held on that day, it may be held on any subsequent
day according to such lawful rules as may be prescribed by the board of
directors.

Nominations for election to the board of directors may be made by the board of
directors or by any stockholder of any outstanding class of capital stock of the
bank entitled to vote for election of directors.  Nominations other than those
made by or on behalf of the existing bank management shall be made in writing
and be delivered or mailed to the president of the bank and to the Comptroller
of the Currency, Washington, D.C., not less than 14 days nor more than 50 days
prior to any meeting of shareholders called for the election of directors,
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if less than 21 days notice of the meeting is given to
shareholders, such nominations shall be mailed or delivered to the president of
the bank and to the Comptroller of the Currency not later than the close of
business on the seventh day following the day on which the notice of meeting was
mailed.  Such notification shall contain the following information to the extent
known to the notifying shareholder:

<PAGE>

     -The name and address of each proposed nominee.

     -The principal occupation of each proposed nominee.

     -The total number of shares of capital stock of the bank that will be voted
      for each proposed nominee.

     -The name and residence address of the notifying shareholder.

     -The number of shares of capital stock of the bank owned by the notifying 
      shareholder.  Nominations not made in accordance herewith may, in his/her
      discretion, be disregarded by the chairperson of the meeting, and upon
      his/her instructions, the vote tellers may disregard all votes cast for
      each such nominee.

FIFTH.  The authorized amount of capital stock of this association shall be
4,000,000 shares of common stock of the par value of Five Dollars ($5.00) each
and 733,000 shares of limited participating Preferred Stock of the par value of
One Cent ($.O1) each; but said capital stock may be increased or decreased from
time to time, according to the provisions of the laws of the United States.

The 733,000 shares of limited participating Preferred Stock of the par value of
one cent ($.O1) each (the "Preferred Stock") shall have the rights,
designations, preferences, qualifications, privileges, limitations and
restrictions as follows:

     (a)  DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS.  All of the issue of the Preferred
     Stock shall only be entitled to receive a dividend payable in cash in an
     amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the "Income" (as defined in
     subparagraph (i) below) of the association in excess of eighty (80) basis
     points "Return On Assets" (as defined in subparagraph (ii) below) of the
     association calculated on the basis of the daily average assets for each
     "Fiscal Year" (as defined below in this paragraph (a)).  Such
     determination shall be reviewed by an independent firm of certified public
     accountants of recognized national standing and the results of such review
     shall be certified as correct by the chief financial officer of the
     association.  The Income of the association shall be calculated on an
     annual basis for the following periods: July 15, 1986 through June 30,
     1987; July 1, 1987 through June 30, 1988; July 1, 1988 through June 30,
     1989; July 1, 1989 through June 30, 1990; and July 1, 1990 through June 30,
     1991 (each such period being referred to herein as a "Fiscal Year"). 
     Except as provided in paragraph (h) of this Article FIFTH, the dividends
     payable on the Preferred stock, if any, shall be paid on each September 30
     from 1987 to and including 1991, provided that if any such date is not a
     business day, payment shall be made on the first business day following any
     such date.  Accrued but unpaid dividends shall not bear interest.

<PAGE>

     For purposes of this paragraph (a) only:

          (i)  Income of the association shall be determined in accordance with
          the Instructions for Preparation of Consolidated Reports of Condition
          and Income (FFIEC 032), as reflected by line 10 of the Consolidated
          Report of Income, "Income (loss) before extraordinary items and other
          adjustments," provided that such calculation of Income shall not
          include (w) accretion of any negative intangible, (x) proceeds from
          the sale of the Preferred Stock to the FDIC, (y) line 6 of such
          report, "Gains (losses) on Securities not held in trading accounts"
          net of applicable income taxes and (z) line 4a of such report,
          "Provision for loan and lease losses" net of applicable income taxes,
          in excess of an amount equal to a provision for loan losses sufficient
          to maintain a loan loss reserve at each Fiscal Year-end equivalent to
          one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the daily average loans and leases
          of the association.

          (ii) Return on Assets of the association shall be equal to the
          quotient of Income divided by the amount of the daily average assets
          of the association.

     (b)  TRANSFERABILITY.  Neither record nor beneficial ownership of the
     Preferred Stock shall be transferable without the prior written consent of
     the association.

     (c)  VOTING RIGHTS.  The Preferred Stock shall not have any voting
     rights, except as provided in paragraph (9) of this Article FIFTH.

     (d)  REACQUIRED SHARES.  Any shares of the Preferred Stock purchased or
     otherwise acquired by the association in any manner whatsoever shall be
     retired and cancelled promptly after the acquisition thereof.

     (e)  LIQUIDATION, DISSOLUTION OR WINDING-UP.  In the event of any voluntary
     or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the association,
     the holders of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, from the
     assets of the association available for distribution to shareholders,
     amounts in cash equal to the aggregate par value per share plus all
     dividends accrued but unpaid thereon to the date payment is made available,
     before any distribution is made to holders of the common stock of the
     association or to any other class of stock of the association ranking
     junior to the Preferred Stock in respect of distributions upon liquidation,
     dissolution or winding-up.  If the assets available for distribution in
     any such event shall be insufficient to permit payment of the full
     preferential amount to all holders of the Preferred Stock, then
     distribution shall be made ratably among such holders.

<PAGE>

     (f)  CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, ETC.  In case the association shall enter into
     any consolidation, merger, combination or other transaction in which the
     common stock of the association is exchanged for or changed into other
     stock or securities, cash and/or any other property of any other
     corporation, then the holders of the Preferred Stock shall have the right
     to receive in substitution of the Preferred Stock preferred stock of such
     corporation containing the same terms and conditions as the Preferred
     Stock, except that the dividend payable on such substituted Preferred Stock
     shall equal an amount calculated in accordance with paragraph (a) of this
     Article FIFTH (with the surviving entity of such consolidation, merger,
     combination or other transaction being deemed the association for all
     purposes thereof) multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be
     the assets of the association as of its last calendar year-end as shown on
     its audited balance sheet and the denominator of which shall be the assets
     of the surviving entity (on a pro forma basis) as of the date the
     consolidation, merger, combination or other transaction is consummated. 
     The merger or consolidation of the association into or with any other
     corporation or the merger of any other corporation into it, or the sale,
     lease or conveyance of all or substantially all the property or business of
     the association, shall not be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or
     winding-up of the association for purposes of paragraph (e) of this Article
     FIFTH.

     (g)  CONSENT TO CERTAIN CORPORATE ACTIONS.  The association shall not,
     without the prior consent (in addition to any other vote or consent
     required by law, contract or otherwise) of the holders of two-thirds of the
     outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock voting as a class in person or by
     proxy in writing or at a special meeting called for the purpose, amend,
     alter or repeal this Article FIFTH or the Bylaws of the association, or
     file any directors' resolutions containing, in either case, any provision
     which affects the privileges, designations, preferences or rights or the
     qualifications, limitations or restrictions of the preferred Stock.

     (h)  REDEMPTION.  All of the issue of the Preferred Stock shall be redeemed
     by the association in cash within fifteen business days following June
     30, 1991 at a redemption price equal in amount to the aggregate par value
     per share plus all dividends accrued but unpaid thereon to the date payment
     is made.

SIXTH.  The board of directors shall appoint one of its members president of
this association, who shall be chairperson of the board, unless  the board
appoints another director to be the chairperson.  The board of directors
shall have the power to appoint one or more vice presidents; and to appoint a
cashier and such other officers and employees as may be required to transact the
business of this association.

<PAGE>


The board of directors shall have the power to:

     -Define the duties of the officers and employees of the association.

     -Fix the salaries to be paid to the officers and employees.

     -Dismiss officers and employees.

     -Require bonds from officers and employees and to fix the penalty thereof.

      association shall be made.

     -Manage and administer the business and affairs of the association.

     -Make all bylaws that it may be lawful for the board to make.

     -Generally to perform all acts that are legal for a board of directors to 
      perform.

SEVENTH.  The board of directors shall have the power to change the location
of the main office to any other place within the limits of Oklahoma City,
without the approval of the shareholders, and shall have the power to establish
or change the location of any branch or branches of the association of any other
location, without the approval of the shareholders.

EIGHTH.  The corporate existence of this association shall continue until
terminated according to the laws of the United States.

NINTH.  The board of directors of this association, or any one (1) or more
shareholders owning, in the aggregate, not less than five percent (5%) of the
stock of this association, may call a special meeting of shareholders at any
time.  Unless otherwise provided by the laws of the United States, a notice of
the time, place and purpose of every annual and special meeting of the
shareholders shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed at
least 10 days prior to the date of the meeting to each shareholder of record at
his address as shown upon the books of this association.

TENTH (a) RIGHT TO INDEMNIFICATION.  Each person who was or is made a party or
is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any action, suit
or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative
(hereinafter a "proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person
of whom he or she is the legal representative, or is or was a director or
officer of the Association or is or was serving at the request of the
Association as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or
of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service
with respect to

<PAGE>

employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action
in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent or in any
other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, shall be
indemnified and held harmless by the Association to the fullest extent
authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law (as if the Association had
been incorporated as a Delaware corporation), as the same exists or may
hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent
that such amendment permits the Association to provide broader indemnification
rights that such law permitted the Association to provide prior to such
amendment), against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys' fees,
judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in
settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection
therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased
to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of
his or her heirs, executors and administrators; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, except
as provided in paragraph (b) hereof with respect to proceedings to enforce
rights to indemnification, the Association shall indemnify any such person in
connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if
such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of
the Association.  The right to indemnification conferred in this section shall
be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the Association
the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final
disposition; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the Delaware General Corporation Law
(had the Association been incorporated as a Delaware corporation) requires, the
payment of such expenses incurred by a director or officer in his or her
capacity in which service was or is rendered by such director or officer,
including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) in advance
of the final disposition of a proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery to
the Association of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or officer
to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final
judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal that such
director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under
this section or otherwise.  The Association may, by action of its Board of
Directors, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the Association
with the same scope and effect as the foregoing indemnification of directors and
officers.  NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, no person shall be indemnified
hereunder by the Association against expenses, penalties, or other payments
incurred in an administrative proceeding or action (instituted by an appropriate
bank regulatory agency) which proceeding or action results in a final order
assessing civil money penalties or requiring affirmative action by an individual
or individuals in the form of payments to the Association.

     (b)   RIGHT OF CLAIMANT TO BRING SUIT.  If a claim under paragraph (a) of
this section is not paid in full by the Association within thirty (30) days
after a written claim has been received by the Association, the claimant may at
any time

<PAGE>

thereafter bring suit against the Association to recover the unpaid amount of
the claim and if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled
to be paid also the expense of prosecuting or defending such claim.  It shall be
a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim
for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final
disposition where the required undertaking, if any, has been tendered to the
Association) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make
it permissible under the Delaware General Corporation Law (had the Association
been incorporated as a Delaware corporation) for the Association to indemnify
the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense
shall be on the Association.  Neither the failure of the Association (including
its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have
made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that
indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she
has met the applicable standards of conduct set forth in the Delaware General
Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by the Association (including its
Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the
claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a
presumption that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct.

     (c)  NON-EXCLUSIVITY OF RIGHTS.  The right to indemnification and the
payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final
disposition conferred in this section shall not be exclusive of any other right
which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of
the Articles of Association, by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or
disinterested directors or otherwise.

     (d)  INSURANCE.  The Association may maintain insurance, at its expense, to
protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Association
or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise
against any such expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Association
would have had the power to indemnify such person against such expense,
liability or loss under the Delaware General Corporation Law (had the
Association been incorporated as a Delaware corporation); PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that no such insurance shall protect directors, officers or employees against
any expense, liability, or loss caused by the issuance of a formal order by an
appropriate bank regulatory agency assessing civil money penalties against a
bank director or employee.

ELEVENTH. These articles of association may be amended at any regular or special
meeting of the shareholders by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority
of the stock of this association, unless the vote of the holders of a greater
amount of stock is required by law, and in that case by the vote of the holders
of such greater amount.

<PAGE>

     These Articles of Association supersede all prior Articles of Association
and to this end all prior Articles of Association are hereby repealed.

     The foregoing is a true and correct copy of the Articles of Association of
Boatmen's First National Bank of Oklahoma as amended as of this date, July 25,
1991.

elected, or, who does not have a business or civic activity involving
substantial time and executive responsibility.

     Each director shall take and subscribe his or her oath of office in form

eight-year term or, in filling a vacancy, completed an eight-year term of
another person, is not eligible for re-election to the Board for a period of two
years.

another.

board at any time by giving written notice to the Chairman of the Board or the
Secretary of the Association, and unless specified therein, the acceptance of
such resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective.  Any director may
be removed as a director by a vote of at least 3/4 of the whole number of
directors; however, no director shall be removed until he or she has first had
notice of intent to remove him or her, which notice shall set forth in
reasonable detail the reasons for removal, and given an opportunity to be heard
with respect to such reasons at a meeting of the Board duly called for such
purpose.

SCHEDULE RC-R--RISK-BASED CAPITAL

This schedule must be completed by all banks as follows:  Banks that reported
total assets of $1 billion or more in Schedule RC, Item 12, for June 30, 1994,
must complete items 2 through 9 and Memoranda Items 1 and 2.  Banks with assets
of less than $1 billion must complete items 1 and 2 below or Schedule RC-R in
its entirety, depending on their response to Item 1 below.

 1. Test for determining the extent to which Schedule RC-R must be 
    completed. To be completed only by banks with total assets of 
    less than $1 billion. Indicate in the appropriate box             C380   ( -
    at the right whether the bank has a total capital greater
    than or equal to eight percent                                   YES   NO
    of adjusted total assets. . . . . . . . . . . . . .     RCON 6056         1.
      For purposes of this test, adjusted total assets equals total assets 
    less cash, U.S. Treasuries, U.S. Government agency obligations, and 80 
    percent of U.S. Government-sponsored agency obligations plus the 
    allowance for loan and lease losses and selected off-balance sheet items 
    as reported on Schedule RC-L (see instructions).
      If the box marked YES has been checked, then the bank only has to complete
    item 2 below.  If the box marked NO has been checked, the bank must complete
    the remainder of this schedule.
      A NO response to item 1 does not necessarily mean that the bank's actual
    risk-based capital ratio is less than eight percent or that the bank is not
    in compliance with the risk-based capital guidelines.

Legal Title of Bank                         City                 State

The management of the reporting bank may, if it wishes, submit a brief narrative
statement on the amounts reported in the Reports of Condition and Income.  This
optional statement will be made available to the public, along with the publicly
available data in the Reports of Condition and Income, in response to any
request for individual bank report data.  However, the information reported in
column A and in all of Memorandum item 1 of Schedule RC-N is regarded as
confidential and will not be released to the public.  BANKS CHOOSING TO SUBMIT
THE NARRATIVE STATEMENT SHOULD ENSURE THAT THE STATEMENT DOES NOT CONTAIN THE
NAMES OR OTHER IDENTIFICATIONS OF INDIVIDUAL BANK CUSTOMERS, REFERENCES TO THE
AMOUNTS REPORTED IN THE CONFIDENTIAL ITEMS IN SCHEDULE RC-N, OR ANY OTHER
INFORMATION THAT THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO HAVE MADE PUBLIC OR THAT WOULD
COMPROMISE THE PRIVACY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS.  Banks choosing not to make a
statement may check the "No Comment" box below and should make no entries of any
kind in the space provided for the narrative statement; i.e., DO NOT enter in
this space such phrases as "No statement," "Not applicable," "N/A," "No
comment," and "None."

The optional statement must be entered on this sheet.  The statement should not
exceed 100 words.  Further, regardless of the number of words, the statement
must not exceed 750 characters, including punctuation, indentation, and standard
spacing between words and sentences.  If any submission should exceed 750
characters, as defined, it will be truncated at 750 characters with no notice to
the submitting bank and the truncated statement will appear as the bank's
statement both on agency computerized records and in computer-file releases to
the public.

All information furnished by the bank in the narrative statement must be
accurate and not misleading.  Appropriate efforts shall be taken by the
submitting bank to ensure the statement's accuracy.  The statement must be
signed, in the space provided below, by a senior officer of the bank who thereby
attests to its accuracy.

If, subsequent to the original submission, material changes are submitted for
the data reported in the Reports of Condition and Income, the existing narrative
statement will be deleted from the files, and from disclosure; the bank, at its
option, may replace it with a statement, under signature, appropriate to the
amended data.

The optional narrative statement will appear in agency records and in release to
the public exactly as submitted (or amended as described in the preceding
paragraph) by the management of the bank (except for the truncation of
statements exceeding the 750-character limit described above).  THE STATEMENT
WILL NOT BE EDITED OR SCREENED IN ANY WAY BY THE SUPERVISORY AGENCIES FOR
ACCURACY OR RELEVANCE.  DISCLOSURE OF THE STATEMENT SHALL NOT SIGNIFY THAT ANY
FEDERAL SUPERVISORY AGENCY HAS VERIFIED OR CONFIRMED THE ACCURACY OF THE
INFORMATION CONTAINED THEREIN.  A STATEMENT TO THIS EFFECT WILL APPEAR ON ANY
PUBLIC RELEASE OF THE OPTIONAL STATEMENT SUBMITTED BY THE MANAGEMENT OF THE
REPORTING BANK.

                    BOATMEN'S FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF OKLAHOMA
                         AMENDED ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION

For the purpose of organizing an association to carry on the business of banking
under the laws of the United States, the undersigned do enter into the following
articles of association:

FIRST.    The title of this association shall be Boatmen's First National Bank
of Oklahoma.

SECOND.    The main office of the association shall be in Oklahoma City, county
of Oklahoma, state of Oklahoma.  The general business of the association shall
be conducted at its main office and its branches.

THIRD.  The board of directors of this association shall consist of not less
than five nor more than twenty-five shareholders, the exact number to be fixed
and determined from time to time by resolution of a majority of the full board
of directors or by resolution of the shareholders at any annual or special
meeting thereof.  Each director, during the full term of his or her
directorship, shall own a minimum of $1,000 aggregate par value of stock of this
association or a minimum par market value or equity interest of $1,000 of stock
in the bank holding company controlling this association.  Any vacancy in the
board of directors may be filled by action of the board of directors.

FOURTH.  There shall be an annual meeting of the shareholders to elect directors
and transact whatever other business may be brought before the meeting.  It
shall be held at the main office or any other convenient place the board of
directors may designate, on the day of each year specified therefore in the
bylaws, but if no election is held on that day, it may be held on any subsequent
day according to such lawful rules as may be prescribed by the board of
directors.

Nominations for election to the board of directors may be made by the board of
directors or by any stockholder of any outstanding class of capital stock of the
bank entitled to vote for election of directors.  Nominations other than those
made by or on behalf of the existing bank management shall be made in writing
and be delivered or mailed to the president of the bank and to the Comptroller
of the Currency, Washington, D.C., not less than 14 days nor more than 50 days
prior to any meeting of shareholders called for the election of directors,
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if less than 21 days notice of the meeting is given to
shareholders, such nominations shall be mailed or delivered to the president of
the bank and to the Comptroller of the Currency not later than the close of
business on the seventh day following the day on which the notice of meeting was
mailed.  Such notification shall contain the following information to the extent
known to the notifying shareholder:

<PAGE>

     -The name and address of each proposed nominee.

     -The principal occupation of each proposed nominee.

     -The total number of shares of capital stock of the bank that will be voted
      for each proposed nominee.

     -The name and residence address of the notifying shareholder.

     -The number of shares of capital stock of the bank owned by the notifying 
      shareholder.  Nominations not made in accordance herewith may, in his/her
      discretion, be disregarded by the chairperson of the meeting, and upon
      his/her instructions, the vote tellers may disregard all votes cast for
      each such nominee.

FIFTH.  The authorized amount of capital stock of this association shall be
4,000,000 shares of common stock of the par value of Five Dollars ($5.00) each
and 733,000 shares of limited participating Preferred Stock of the par value of
One Cent ($.O1) each; but said capital stock may be increased or decreased from
time to time, according to the provisions of the laws of the United States.

The 733,000 shares of limited participating Preferred Stock of the par value of
one cent ($.O1) each (the "Preferred Stock") shall have the rights,
designations, preferences, qualifications, privileges, limitations and
restrictions as follows:

     (a)  DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS.  All of the issue of the Preferred
     Stock shall only be entitled to receive a dividend payable in cash in an
     amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the "Income" (as defined in
     subparagraph (i) below) of the association in excess of eighty (80) basis
     points "Return On Assets" (as defined in subparagraph (ii) below) of the
     association calculated on the basis of the daily average assets for each
     "Fiscal Year" (as defined below in this paragraph (a)).  Such
     determination shall be reviewed by an independent firm of certified public
     accountants of recognized national standing and the results of such review
     shall be certified as correct by the chief financial officer of the
     association.  The Income of the association shall be calculated on an
     annual basis for the following periods: July 15, 1986 through June 30,
     1987; July 1, 1987 through June 30, 1988; July 1, 1988 through June 30,
     1989; July 1, 1989 through June 30, 1990; and July 1, 1990 through June 30,
     1991 (each such period being referred to herein as a "Fiscal Year"). 
     Except as provided in paragraph (h) of this Article FIFTH, the dividends
     payable on the Preferred stock, if any, shall be paid on each September 30
     from 1987 to and including 1991, provided that if any such date is not a
     business day, payment shall be made on the first business day following any
     such date.  Accrued but unpaid dividends shall not bear interest.

<PAGE>

     For purposes of this paragraph (a) only:

          (i)  Income of the association shall be determined in accordance with
          the Instructions for Preparation of Consolidated Reports of Condition
          and Income (FFIEC 032), as reflected by line 10 of the Consolidated
          Report of Income, "Income (loss) before extraordinary items and other
          adjustments," provided that such calculation of Income shall not
          include (w) accretion of any negative intangible, (x) proceeds from
          the sale of the Preferred Stock to the FDIC, (y) line 6 of such
          report, "Gains (losses) on Securities not held in trading accounts"
          net of applicable income taxes and (z) line 4a of such report,
          "Provision for loan and lease losses" net of applicable income taxes,
          in excess of an amount equal to a provision for loan losses sufficient
          to maintain a loan loss reserve at each Fiscal Year-end equivalent to
          one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the daily average loans and leases
          of the association.

          (ii) Return on Assets of the association shall be equal to the
          quotient of Income divided by the amount of the daily average assets
          of the association.

     (b)  TRANSFERABILITY.  Neither record nor beneficial ownership of the
     Preferred Stock shall be transferable without the prior written consent of
     the association.

     (c)  VOTING RIGHTS.  The Preferred Stock shall not have any voting
     rights, except as provided in paragraph (9) of this Article FIFTH.

     (d)  REACQUIRED SHARES.  Any shares of the Preferred Stock purchased or
     otherwise acquired by the association in any manner whatsoever shall be
     retired and cancelled promptly after the acquisition thereof.

     (e)  LIQUIDATION, DISSOLUTION OR WINDING-UP.  In the event of any voluntary
     or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the association,
     the holders of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, from the
     assets of the association available for distribution to shareholders,
     amounts in cash equal to the aggregate par value per share plus all
     dividends accrued but unpaid thereon to the date payment is made available,
     before any distribution is made to holders of the common stock of the
     association or to any other class of stock of the association ranking
     junior to the Preferred Stock in respect of distributions upon liquidation,
     dissolution or winding-up.  If the assets available for distribution in
     any such event shall be insufficient to permit payment of the full
     preferential amount to all holders of the Preferred Stock, then
     distribution shall be made ratably among such holders.

<PAGE>

     (f)  CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, ETC.  In case the association shall enter into
     any consolidation, merger, combination or other transaction in which the
     common stock of the association is exchanged for or changed into other
     stock or securities, cash and/or any other property of any other
     corporation, then the holders of the Preferred Stock shall have the right
     to receive in substitution of the Preferred Stock preferred stock of such
     corporation containing the same terms and conditions as the Preferred
     Stock, except that the dividend payable on such substituted Preferred Stock
     shall equal an amount calculated in accordance with paragraph (a) of this
     Article FIFTH (with the surviving entity of such consolidation, merger,
     combination or other transaction being deemed the association for all
     purposes thereof) multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be
     the assets of the association as of its last calendar year-end as shown on
     its audited balance sheet and the denominator of which shall be the assets
     of the surviving entity (on a pro forma basis) as of the date the
     consolidation, merger, combination or other transaction is consummated. 
     The merger or consolidation of the association into or with any other
     corporation or the merger of any other corporation into it, or the sale,
     lease or conveyance of all or substantially all the property or business of
     the association, shall not be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or
     winding-up of the association for purposes of paragraph (e) of this Article
     FIFTH.

     (g)  CONSENT TO CERTAIN CORPORATE ACTIONS.  The association shall not,
     without the prior consent (in addition to any other vote or consent
     required by law, contract or otherwise) of the holders of two-thirds of the
     outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock voting as a class in person or by
     proxy in writing or at a special meeting called for the purpose, amend,
     alter or repeal this Article FIFTH or the Bylaws of the association, or
     file any directors' resolutions containing, in either case, any provision
     which affects the privileges, designations, preferences or rights or the
     qualifications, limitations or restrictions of the preferred Stock.

     (h)  REDEMPTION.  All of the issue of the Preferred Stock shall be redeemed
     by the association in cash within fifteen business days following June
     30, 1991 at a redemption price equal in amount to the aggregate par value
     per share plus all dividends accrued but unpaid thereon to the date payment
     is made.

SIXTH.  The board of directors shall appoint one of its members president of
this association, who shall be chairperson of the board, unless  the board
appoints another director to be the chairperson.  The board of directors
shall have the power to appoint one or more vice presidents; and to appoint a
cashier and such other officers and employees as may be required to transact the
business of this association.

<PAGE>


The board of directors shall have the power to:

     -Define the duties of the officers and employees of the association.

     -Fix the salaries to be paid to the officers and employees.

     -Dismiss officers and employees.

     -Require bonds from officers and employees and to fix the penalty thereof.

      association shall be made.

     -Manage and administer the business and affairs of the association.

     -Make all bylaws that it may be lawful for the board to make.

     -Generally to perform all acts that are legal for a board of directors to

SEVENTH.  The board of directors shall have the power to change the location
of the main office to any other place within the limits of Oklahoma City,
without the approval of the shareholders, and shall have the power to establish
or change the location of any branch or branches of the association of any other
location, without the approval of the shareholders.

EIGHTH.  The corporate existence of this association shall continue until
terminated according to the laws of the United States.

NINTH.  The board of directors of this association, or any one (1) or more
shareholders owning, in the aggregate, not less than five percent (5%) of the
stock of this association, may call a special meeting of shareholders at any
time.  Unless otherwise provided by the laws of the United States, a notice of
the time, place and purpose of every annual and special meeting of the
shareholders shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed at
least 10 days prior to the date of the meeting to each shareholder of record at
his address as shown upon the books of this association.

TENTH (a) RIGHT TO INDEMNIFICATION.  Each person who was or is made a party or
is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any action, suit
or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative
(hereinafter a "proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person
of whom he or she is the legal representative, or is or was a director or
officer of the Association or is or was serving at the request of the
Association as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or
of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service
with respect to

<PAGE>

employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action
in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent or in any
other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, shall be
indemnified and held harmless by the Association to the fullest extent
authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law (as if the Association had
been incorporated as a Delaware corporation), as the same exists or may
hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent
that such amendment permits the Association to provide broader indemnification
rights that such law permitted the Association to provide prior to such
amendment), against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys' fees,
judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in
settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection
therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased
to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of
his or her heirs, executors and administrators; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, except
as provided in paragraph (b) hereof with respect to proceedings to enforce
rights to indemnification, the Association shall indemnify any such person in
connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if
such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of
the Association.  The right to indemnification conferred in this section shall
be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the Association
the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final
disposition; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the Delaware General Corporation Law
(had the Association been incorporated as a Delaware corporation) requires, the
payment of such expenses incurred by a director or officer in his or her
capacity in which service was or is rendered by such director or officer,
including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) in advance
of the final disposition of a proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery to
the Association of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or officer
to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final
judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal that such
director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under
this section or otherwise.  The Association may, by action of its Board of
Directors, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the Association
with the same scope and effect as the foregoing indemnification of directors and
officers.  NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, no person shall be indemnified
hereunder by the Association against expenses, penalties, or other payments
incurred in an administrative proceeding or action (instituted by an appropriate
bank regulatory agency) which proceeding or action results in a final order
assessing civil money penalties or requiring affirmative action by an individual
or individuals in the form of payments to the Association.

     (b)   RIGHT OF CLAIMANT TO BRING SUIT.  If a claim under paragraph (a) of
this section is not paid in full by the Association within thirty (30) days
after a written claim has been received by the Association, the claimant may at
any time

<PAGE>

thereafter bring suit against the Association to recover the unpaid amount of
the claim and if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled
to be paid also the expense of prosecuting or defending such claim.  It shall be
a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim
for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final
disposition where the required undertaking, if any, has been tendered to the
Association) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make
it permissible under the Delaware General Corporation Law (had the Association
been incorporated as a Delaware corporation) for the Association to indemnify
the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense
shall be on the Association.  Neither the failure of the Association (including
its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have
made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that
indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she
has met the applicable standards of conduct set forth in the Delaware General
Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by the Association (including its
Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the
claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a
presumption that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct.

     (c)  NON-EXCLUSIVITY OF RIGHTS.  The right to indemnification and the
payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final
disposition conferred in this section shall not be exclusive of any other right
which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of
the Articles of Association, by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or
disinterested directors or otherwise.

     (d)  INSURANCE.  The Association may maintain insurance, at its expense, to
protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Association
or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise
against any such expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Association
would have had the power to indemnify such person against such expense,
liability or loss under the Delaware General Corporation Law (had the
Association been incorporated as a Delaware corporation); PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that no such insurance shall protect directors, officers or employees against
any expense, liability, or loss caused by the issuance of a formal order by an
appropriate bank regulatory agency assessing civil money penalties against a
bank director or employee.

ELEVENTH. These articles of association may be amended at any regular or special
meeting of the shareholders by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority
of the stock of this association, unless the vote of the holders of a greater
amount of stock is required by law, and in that case by the vote of the holders
of such greater amount.

<PAGE>

     These Articles of Association supersede all prior Articles of Association
and to this end all prior Articles of Association are hereby repealed.

     The foregoing is a true and correct copy of the Articles of Association of
Boatmen's First National Bank of Oklahoma as amended as of this date, July 25,
1991.

elected, or, who does not have a business or civic activity involving
substantial time and executive responsibility.

     Each director shall take and subscribe his or her oath of office in form

board at any time by giving written notice to the Chairman of the Board or the
Secretary of the Association, and unless specified therein, the acceptance of
such resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective.  Any director may
be removed as a director by a vote of at least 3/4 of the whole number of
directors; however, no director shall be removed until he or she has first had
notice of intent to remove him or her, which notice shall set forth in
reasonable detail the reasons for removal, and given an opportunity to be heard

SCHEDULE RC-R--RISK-BASED CAPITAL

This schedule must be completed by all banks as follows:  Banks that reported
total assets of $1 billion or more in Schedule RC, Item 12, for June 30, 1994,
must complete items 2 through 9 and Memoranda Items 1 and 2.  Banks with assets
of less than $1 billion must complete items 1 and 2 below or Schedule RC-R in
its entirety, depending on their response to Item 1 below.

 1. Test for determining the extent to which Schedule RC-R must be 
    completed. To be completed only by banks with total assets of 
    less than $1 billion. Indicate in the appropriate box             C380   ( -
    at the right whether the bank has a total capital greater
    than or equal to eight percent                                   YES   NO
    of adjusted total assets. . . . . . . . . . . . . .     RCON 6056         1.
      For purposes of this test, adjusted total assets equals total assets 
    less cash, U.S. Treasuries, U.S. Government agency obligations, and 80 
    percent of U.S. Government-sponsored agency obligations plus the 
    allowance for loan and lease losses and selected off-balance sheet items 
    as reported on Schedule RC-L (see instructions).
      If the box marked YES has been checked, then the bank only has to complete
    item 2 below.  If the box marked NO has been checked, the bank must complete
    the remainder of this schedule.
      A NO response to item 1 does not necessarily mean that the bank's actual
    risk-based capital ratio is less than eight percent or that the bank is not
    in compliance with the risk-based capital guidelines.

                   REPORTED IN THE REPORTS OF CONDITION AND INCOME

The management of the reporting bank may, if it wishes, submit a brief narrative
statement on the amounts reported in the Reports of Condition and Income.  This
optional statement will be made available to the public, along with the publicly
available data in the Reports of Condition and Income, in response to any
request for individual bank report data.  However, the information reported in
column A and in all of Memorandum item 1 of Schedule RC-N is regarded as
confidential and will not be released to the public.  BANKS CHOOSING TO SUBMIT
THE NARRATIVE STATEMENT SHOULD ENSURE THAT THE STATEMENT DOES NOT CONTAIN THE
NAMES OR OTHER IDENTIFICATIONS OF INDIVIDUAL BANK CUSTOMERS, REFERENCES TO THE
AMOUNTS REPORTED IN THE CONFIDENTIAL ITEMS IN SCHEDULE RC-N, OR ANY OTHER
INFORMATION THAT THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO HAVE MADE PUBLIC OR THAT WOULD
COMPROMISE THE PRIVACY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS.  Banks choosing not to make a
statement may check the "No Comment" box below and should make no entries of any
kind in the space provided for the narrative statement; i.e., DO NOT enter in
this space such phrases as "No statement," "Not applicable," "N/A," "No
comment," and "None."

The optional statement must be entered on this sheet.  The statement should not
exceed 100 words.  Further, regardless of the number of words, the statement
must not exceed 750 characters, including punctuation, indentation, and standard
spacing between words and sentences.  If any submission should exceed 750
characters, as defined, it will be truncated at 750 characters with no notice to
the submitting bank and the truncated statement will appear as the bank's
statement both on agency computerized records and in computer-file releases to
the public.

All information furnished by the bank in the narrative statement must be
accurate and not misleading.  Appropriate efforts shall be taken by the
submitting bank to ensure the statement's accuracy.  The statement must be
signed, in the space provided below, by a senior officer of the bank who thereby
attests to its accuracy.

If, subsequent to the original submission, material changes are submitted for
the data reported in the Reports of Condition and Income, the existing narrative
statement will be deleted from the files, and from disclosure; the bank, at its
option, may replace it with a statement, under signature, appropriate to the
amended data.

The optional narrative statement will appear in agency records and in release to
the public exactly as submitted (or amended as described in the preceding
paragraph) by the management of the bank (except for the truncation of
statements exceeding the 750-character limit described above).  THE STATEMENT
WILL NOT BE EDITED OR SCREENED IN ANY WAY BY THE SUPERVISORY AGENCIES FOR
ACCURACY OR RELEVANCE.  DISCLOSURE OF THE STATEMENT SHALL NOT SIGNIFY THAT ANY
FEDERAL SUPERVISORY AGENCY HAS VERIFIED OR CONFIRMED THE ACCURACY OF THE
INFORMATION CONTAINED THEREIN.  A STATEMENT TO THIS EFFECT WILL APPEAR ON ANY
PUBLIC RELEASE OF THE OPTIONAL STATEMENT SUBMITTED BY THE MANAGEMENT OF THE
REPORTING BANK.
