Section&nbsp;9(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 Section&nbsp;9(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 Section&nbsp;9(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 Section&nbsp;9(d)&nbsp;to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations
with respect to such First Mortgage Bonds and not joint.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">I am Vice President and Deputy General Counsel
of Union Electric Company, a Missouri corporation (the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;). The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the &ldquo;Commission&rdquo;) a Registration Statement on Form&nbsp;S-3 (Registration No.&nbsp;333-274977-02) (the &ldquo;Registration
Statement&rdquo;) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &ldquo;Securities Act&rdquo;), with respect to the registration of
an unspecified amount of securities, which became effective on October&nbsp;13, 2023. On February&nbsp;27, 2026, the Company issued and
sold (i)&nbsp;$450,000,000 principal amount of its 4.80% First Mortgage Bonds due 2036 (the &ldquo;2036 Bonds&rdquo;) and (ii)&nbsp;$450,000,000
principal amount of its 5.55% First Mortgage Bonds due 2056 (the &ldquo;2056 Bonds&rdquo;, and together with the 2036 Bonds, the &ldquo;Bonds&rdquo;)
under the Indenture of Mortgage and Deed of Trust, dated June&nbsp;15, 1937, executed by the Company to The Bank of New York Mellon, as
successor trustee (the &ldquo;Trustee&rdquo;), as heretofore amended and supplemented by various supplemental indentures, and as now being
further amended and supplemented by a supplemental indenture, dated February&nbsp;1, 2026 (as so amended and supplemented pursuant to
the terms thereof, the &ldquo;Mortgage&rdquo;).</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">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;13, 2023 (the &ldquo;Base Prospectus&rdquo;)
forming a part of the Registration Statement, as supplemented by a prospectus supplement dated February&nbsp;23, 2026 (the &ldquo;Prospectus
Supplement&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 2036 Bonds; (6)&nbsp;a specimen of the 2056 Bonds; and (7)&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>
