in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and such Underwriters on the other hand shall be deemed to be in the same
proportion as the total net proceeds from such offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total underwriting
discounts and commissions received by such Underwriters. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and such Underwriters on the

or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or such Underwriters
on the other hand and the parties&rsquo; 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
subsection (d)&nbsp;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 above in this subsection&nbsp;(d).
The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof)
referred to above in this subsection (d)&nbsp;shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified
party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), no
Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the First Mortgage Bonds
underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has
otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty
of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section&nbsp;11(f)&nbsp;of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any
person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The obligations of the Underwriters of the First Mortgage Bonds in this
subsection (d)&nbsp;to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations with respect to such First Mortgage
Bonds and not joint.</FONT></P>

further period of thirty-six hours within which to procure another party or other parties satisfactory to the Representatives to purchase
such First Mortgage Bonds on such terms. In the event that, within the respective prescribed periods, the Representatives notify the Company

Day preceding such Redemption Date of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the Par
Call Date, as applicable. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the Par Call Date but there are two or more United
States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the Par Call Date, one with a maturity date preceding the Par Call
Date and one with a maturity date following the Par Call Date, the Company shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity
date preceding the Par Call Date. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the Par Call Date or two or more
United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Company shall select from among these two or more
United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid

with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon
the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">I am Vice President and Deputy General Counsel of Ameren Illinois Company,
an Illinois corporation (the &ldquo;<U>Company</U>&rdquo;). The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the &ldquo;<U>Commission</U>&rdquo;)
a Registration Statement on Form&nbsp;S-3 (Registration No.&nbsp;333-249475-02) (the &ldquo;<U>Registration Statement</U>&rdquo;) under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &ldquo;<U>Securities Act</U>&rdquo;), with respect to the registration of an unspecified amount
of securities, which became effective on October&nbsp;14, 2020. On November&nbsp;22, 2022, the Company issued and sold $350,000,000 principal
amount of its 5.90% First Mortgage Bonds due 2052 (the &ldquo;<U>Bonds</U>&rdquo;) under the Company&rsquo;s General Mortgage Indenture
and Deed of Trust, dated as of November&nbsp;1, 1992, executed by the Company to The&nbsp;Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A.,
as successor trustee (the &ldquo;<U>Trustee</U>&rdquo;), as heretofore amended and supplemented by various supplemental indentures, and
as now being further amended and supplemented by a supplemental indenture, dated as of November&nbsp;1, 2022 (as so amended and supplemented
pursuant to the terms thereof, the &ldquo;<U>Mortgage</U>&rdquo;).</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">In connection with the issuance and sale of the Bonds by the Company,&nbsp;I,
or persons under my supervision and control, have reviewed originals (or copies certified or otherwise identified to my satisfaction)
of (1)&nbsp;the Registration Statement; (2)&nbsp;a prospectus dated October&nbsp;14, 2020 (the &ldquo;<U>Base Prospectus</U>&rdquo;) forming
a part of the Registration Statement, as supplemented by a prospectus supplement dated November&nbsp;8, 2022 (the &ldquo;<U>Prospectus
Supplement</U>&rdquo;) relating to the Bonds, both such Base Prospectus and Prospectus Supplement filed pursuant to Rule&nbsp;424 under
the Securities Act; (3)&nbsp;the Company&rsquo;s Restated Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, as amended, each as in effect on the date
hereof; (4)&nbsp;the Mortgage; (5)&nbsp;a specimen of the Bonds; and (6)&nbsp;corporate and other documents, records and papers and certificates
of public officials. In addition,&nbsp;I, or persons under my supervision and control, have reviewed such other documents and materials
as I have deemed necessary or appropriate for purposes of this opinion. In connection with such review,&nbsp;I have assumed the genuineness
of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the conformity to the originals of the documents submitted to me as certified
or photostatic copies, the authenticity of the originals of such documents and all documents submitted to me as originals and the correctness
of all statements of fact contained in such original documents. I have relied upon a certificate of the Trustee as to the authentication
and delivery of the Bonds under the Mortgage.</P>
