<PAGE>

5. Account. PPL shall maintain an Account in the name of each Participant. Such
Account shall be maintained as follows:

   (a) PPL shall credit the Deferred Cash Compensation to Participant's Account
as of the same day on which the last Cash Compensation for the month would have
been paid to said Participant.

   (b) PPL shall credit the Deferred Cash Award to Participant's Account as of
the same day that all Cash Awards not being deferred are paid.

   (c) Within sixty (60) days of the close of any calendar year during which
Participant authorized salary reduction contributions to the Deferred Savings
Plan, PPL will credit Participant's Account with the difference, if any, between
the Participating Company matching contributions Participant would have received
for the prior calendar year under the Deferred Savings Plan if Participant had
participated in the Deferred Savings Plan based on Participant's Cash
Compensation and the actual Participating Company matching contributions
allocated to Participant's Account in the Deferred Savings Plan for the prior
calendar year. Participant will forfeit any such allocation to his Account if
Participant terminates employment with all Participating Companies at a time
when Participating Company matching contributions under the Deferred Savings
Plan are not vested under that plan.

   (d) At the time when any allocations are made under ESOP for contributions
under Article IV of that plan, PPL will credit Participant's Account with an
amount equal to the difference, if any, between the value of PPL contributions
that would have been made under ESOP based on Participant's Cash Compensation
and the value of PPL contributions actually made for Participant under ESOP.

                                      V-1
<PAGE>

   (e) Participant's Account shall be credited with interest quarterly based on
a rate of interest substantially equivalent to that applied on account balances

comparable fund as may be selected by the EBPB.

                                      V-2

6. Payment of Account - General Provisions

   (a) The Total Amount Payable shall be payable to Participant:

       (i)   if Participant becomes totally disabled while employed by PPL or an
             Affiliated Company, as determined by the EBPB in its discretion;

       (ii)  if Participant retires from PPL and all Affiliated Companies under
             the Retirement Plan; or

       (iii) if Participant resigns or otherwise ceases employment with PPL and
             all Affiliated Companies;

       within thirty (30) days of such event or in the January of the calendar
       year following such event, as elected by Participant. Such election must
       be made before the applicable Cash Compensation and/or Cash Award is
       deferred and may not be changed with respect to Cash Compensation and/or
       Cash Award once it has been deferred. If Participant has made no
       election, payments will commence within thirty (30) days after cessation
       of employment.

   (b) (i)   The Total Amount Payable shall be paid to Participant in a single
             sum or in annual installments up to a maximum of fifteen (15)
             years, as elected by the Participant. Such election must be made
             before the applicable Cash Compensation and/or Cash Award is
             deferred and may not be changed with respect to Cash Compensation
             and/or Cash Award once it has been deferred.

       (ii)  All annual installments shall, except for the final payment, be not
             less than $5,000. To the extent necessary, the number of annual

                                     VI-1
<PAGE>

             installments may be reduced to insure that annual installments are
             at least $5,000.

       (iii) The amount of each annual installment shall be determined by
             dividing the Total Amount Payable less any payments already made to
             Participant by the remaining number of annual installments to be
             made (i.e., a 10 year payout shall pay 1/10 of the Total Amount
             Payable as the first installment, 1/9 as the second annual
             installment, etc.).

   (c) (i)   If Participant dies while employed by PPL or an Affiliated Company
             or before all installments have been paid under paragraph 5(b),
             payments shall be made within 30 days after Participant's death to
             the beneficiary designated in writing by Participant. Participant
             shall have a continuing power to designate a new beneficiary in the
             event of his death at any time prior to his death by written
             instrument delivered by Participant to the EBPB without the consent
             or approval of any person theretofore named as his beneficiary. In
             the event the designated beneficiary does not survive Participant,
             payment will be made to an alternate beneficiary designated in
             writing by Participant. If no such designation is in effect at the
             time of death of Participant, or if no person so designated shall
             survive Participant, payment shall be made to Participant's estate.

       (ii)  Payments made to Participant's designated beneficiary will be made
             at the times and in the amounts as if Participant were living based
             on Participant's elected form of distribution; provided, however,
             if payments

                                     VI-2
<PAGE>

                    are to be made to Participant's estate, payment will be made
                    in a single sum.

          (d)  So long as there is a balance in Participant's Account, the
balance shall be credited with interest pursuant to paragraph 5(d). For any
installment or other payment from the Account, interest shall accrue up to the
last day of the month prior to that payment to Participant or his beneficiary.

          (e)  The EBPB may determine, in its sole discretion, that the Total
Amount Payable shall be paid to a Participant or his beneficiary in different
amounts or at different times than provided under this Plan if, in the opinion
of the EBPB, it would be necessary as the result of a personal emergency or
hardship which results in a severe and immediate financial burden to the
Participant in which case payment shall be made only to the extent necessary to
alleviate the Participant's hardship.

                                     VI-3

7.   Supplemental Payments.

     (a)  Upon his retirement under the Retirement Plan or PPL's Supplemental
Executive Retirement Plan or upon his death while still employed by PPL or an
Affiliated Company, Participant and/or his beneficiaries shall be paid a monthly
supplemental retirement benefit (or supplemental pre-retirement spouse's
annuity, as the case may be) equal to the difference, if any, between the
benefit which would have been payable to him under such plan if the
Participant's Deferred Cash Compensation had been included in the Participant's
compensation for such plan and the benefit actually payable to the Participant
and/or his beneficiaries thereunder. Such supplemental retirement benefit shall
be payable in accordance with all the terms and conditions applicable to the
Participant's or his beneficiary's benefit under the Retirement Plan, including
any optional form of payment. If such supplemental retirement payments would be
less than one hundred dollars ($100) per month, the EBPB, in its discretion, may
elect to make such monthly supplemental retirement payments in such installments
as the EBPB may determine or in a single lump-sum payment. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event that Participant's benefits under the Retirement Plan
are subject to a qualified domestic relations order, any supplemental retirement
benefits payable under this paragraph shall be calculated and made without
regard to such order.

     (b)  Any Participant who terminates employment with PPL or an Affiliated
Company (by retirement or otherwise) under circumstances where PPL or an
Affiliated Company has requested or demanded such termination of employment for
proper cause (including, without limitation, theft, fraud, breach of any
fiduciary duty, misrepresentation, deceit, illegal or criminal act(s)) shall
have no right to receive any payment from this Plan

                                     VII-1
<PAGE>

under paragraph 7(a). The preceding sentence shall not apply to any Participant
who terminates employment with PPL or an Affiliated Company within three (3)
years after the effective date of a Change in Control.

                                     VII-2
<PAGE>

     8.   Administration. The Employee Benefit Plan Board shall have the
discretionary authority and final right to interpret, construe and make benefit
determinations (including eligibility and amount) under the Plan. The decisions
of the Employee Benefit Plan Board are final and conclusive for all purposes. If
one or more members of the EBPB are disqualified by personal interest from
taking part in a particular decision, the remaining member or members of the
EBPB (although less than a quorum) shall have full power to act on the matter.

                                    VIII-1
<PAGE>

9.   Miscellaneous.

     (a)  If the person to receive payment is a minor, or is deemed by the EBPB
or is adjudged to be legally incompetent, the payments shall be made to the duly
appointed guardian or committee of such minor or incompetent, or they may be
made to such person or persons who the EBPB believes are caring for or
supporting such minors or incompetents.

     (b)  Nothing in this Plan shall confer any right on any Participant to
continue in PPL's or in an Affiliated Company's employ or to receive
compensation, nor shall anything in this Plan affect in any way the right of PPL
or an Affiliated Company to terminate any Participant's employment at any time.

     (c)  The expenses of administration hereunder shall be borne by PPL.

     (d)  This Plan shall be construed, administered and enforced according to
the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

     (e)  All payments from this Plan shall be made from the general assets of
PPL or an Affiliated Company. This Plan shall not require PPL or an Affiliated
Company to set aside, segregate, earmark, pay into trust or special account or
otherwise restrict the use of its assets in the operation of the business.
Participant shall have no greater right or status than as an unsecured general
creditor of PPL or an Affiliated Company with respect to any amounts owed to
Participant hereunder.

     (f)  All payments to persons entitled to benefits hereunder shall be made
to such persons and shall not be grantable, transferable, pledged or otherwise
assignable in anticipation of payment thereof, or subject to attachment,
alienation, garnishment, levy, execution or other legal or equitable process in
whole or in part, by the voluntary or

                                     IX-1
<PAGE>

involuntary acts of any such persons, or by operation of law, and shall not be
liable or taken for any obligation of such person. PPL will observe the terms of
the Plan unless and until ordered to do otherwise by a state or federal court.
As a condition of participation, a Participant agrees to hold PPL harmless from
any claim that arises out of PPL's obeying any such order whether such order
effects a judgment of such court or is issued to enforce a judgment or order of
another court.

     (g)  Participant's benefits under group life insurance, accidental death
and disability, short-term disability, long-term disability and other similar
employee benefit plans maintained by PPL will be provided based on Cash
Compensation to Participant.

                                     IX-2
<PAGE>

10.  Termination or Amendment. The Board of Directors may, in its discretion,
terminate and amend this Plan from time to time. In addition, the Employee
Benefit Plan Board may make such amendments to the Plan as it deems necessary or
desirable except those amendments which substantially increase the cost of the
Plan to PPL or a Participating Company or significantly alter the benefit design
or eligibility requirements of the Plan. Each amendment to the Plan will be
binding on each Participating Company. No termination or amendment shall
(without Participant's consent) alter: a) Participant's right to payments of
amounts previously credited to Participant's Account, which amounts shall
continue to earn interest as provided for herein as though termination or
amendment had not been effected, b) the amount or times of payment of such
amounts which have commenced prior to the effective date of such termination or
amendment, or c) the rights set forth in paragraph 5 to designate beneficiaries
in the event of Participant's death or alter Participant's right to monthly
supplemental payments under paragraph 7; provided, however, that no such consent
may accelerate the Participant's payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if PPL
is liquidated, the EBPB shall have the right to determine the Total Amount
Payable and any monthly supplemental payments payable under paragraph 7 to
Participant, and to cause the amount so determined to be paid in one or more
installments or upon such other terms and conditions and at such other time (not
beyond the time provided for herein) as the EBPB determines to be just and
equitable. Any determinations made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be
consistent as to all Participants.

     NOW, THEREFORE, the Plan is hereby amended as follows:

1.   Effective July 1, 2000 the following sections of Articles 2 and 10 are
     amended to read:

2.   DEFINITIONS.

      (d)  "BOARD" means the Board of Directors of PPL Services Corporation.

10.  TERMINATION OR AMENDMENT. The Board may, in its sole discretion, terminate
     and amend this Plan from time to time provided, however, that the Plan may
     not be terminated or amended to the prejudice or detriment of any
     Participant during the three (3) year period immediately following a Change
     in Control (or, if later, thirty six (36) months from the consummation of
     the transaction giving rise to the Change in Control). Without limiting the
     generality of the foregoing, the proviso of the preceding sentence shall
     not, at any time or in any event, be amended or deleted. Subject to the
     foregoing, the Employee Benefit Plan Board may adopt any amendment that
     does not significantly affect the cost of the Plan or significantly alter
     the

                                      -1-

     benefit design or eligibility requirements of the Plan. Each amendment to
     the Plan will be binding on the Participating Company to which it applies.
     No termination or amendment shall (without Participant's consent) alter
     Participants right to monthly payments which have commenced prior to the
     effective date of such termination or amendment. Prior to a Change in
     Control, the Board specifically reserves the right to terminate or amend
     this Plan to eliminate the right of any Participant to receive payment
     hereunder prior to the time when payments are in pay status under this
     Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if PPL is liquidated, the EBPB shall
     cause the amounts due hereunder to be paid in one or more installments or
     upon such other terms and conditions and at such other time as the EBPB
     determines to be just and equitable, but in no event later than the time
     such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

II.   Except as provided for in this Amendment No. 1, all other provisions of
      the Plan shall remain in full force and effect.

      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Amendment No. 1 is executed this _____ day of
___________________________, 2000.
