Dear
      Dave:





We
      are
      delighted with the prospect of your joining PPL Corporation. On behalf of PPL,
      I
      would like to present our formal offer to you to join us as Senior Vice
      President-T&D Engineering & Operations, reporting directly to John
      Sipics, President, PPL Electric Utilities. Naturally, as an elected officer,
      this position is subject to appropriate Board approval. If you accept our offer,
      we will proceed to seek such approval immediately.





We
      have
      provided a level of base salary and performance-oriented incentive programs
      that
      will make employment with PPL both challenging and financially
      attractive.





Our
      offer
      includes a first-year compensation program consisting of an annualized salary
      of
      $265,000 and incentive compensation, described below. In addition, we will
      provide a sign-on bonus with a value of $450,000, which will be paid $225,000
      in
      cash following your employment date and $225,000 in the form of restricted
      stock
      units on which the restrictions will expire in three years. If you voluntarily
      leave PPL prior to completion of one full-year of service, you would be required
      to return the sign-on bonus to PPL. Your signature below authorizes PPL to
      deduct any amounts owed from your final paycheck. The attached compensation
      term
      sheet outlines our offer in detail.





As
      an
      elected officer, you will be eligible for various incentives. Currently, the
      annualized value of these incentives includes: (i) a target annual cash
      incentive of 40% of your annual salary; (ii) an annual incentive targeted at
      52.5% of your annual salary in the form of restricted stock units for
      performance achievement based on three year financial and operational goals,
      and
      specific, annual, strategic goals, and (iii) annual stock options valued at
      52.5% of your annual salary. The total annual incentive target consisting of
      these three components is 145% of your annual salary. Awards under these
      programs take place in the first quarter of the year for corporate performance
      during the prior year.





The
      incentive awards for 2006 take place in the first quarter of 2007. Assuming
      you
      begin employment in 2006, you would normally be eligible for a pro-rated 2007
      annual cash incentive and a pro-rated restricted stock unit grant, both of
      which
      would be based on 2006 performance, and a full stock option award. As part
      of
      our offer, we will determine your 2007 annual cash incentive award assuming
      you
      worked all of 2006 for PPL. Assuming target performance, this would result
      in a
      payment of $106,000. This award would be eligible for the Exchange Program,
      discussed below.





We
      will
      also extend to you change in control protection as an officer of PPL. This
      protection is provided to key executives under a separate contract and, in
      your
      case, when approved, would provide two times annual salary and annual cash
      incentive up to the maximum available without incurring the federal excise
      tax
      on excess severance payments. These agreements also extend the employee group
      life, disability, accident and health insurance coverage for a two-year period
      and provide an additional two years of pension credit in determining your PPL
      retirement benefit.





If
      your
      employment should be terminated within one year for any reason, provided it
      is
      not for cause, we will provide you a severance payment equal to one year’s base
      salary. If your employment is terminated for reasons other than for cause after
      your first year of employment, you will receive payment equal to your salary
      for
      a period of 52 weeks or until you secure alternative employment, whichever
      occurs first, provided you execute a release in a form acceptable to PPL. In
      addition, for a period equal to the severance payment period (e.g., one year
      if
      you are terminated within one year of hire) we will continue active employee
      health, dental and basic life insurance benefits, provided you execute a release
      in a form acceptable to PPL.





You
      will
      be eligible for PPL’s other executive benefits including coverage under the
      Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP), the Officers Deferred
      Compensation Plan (ODCP) and the Premium Incentive Exchange Program (Exchange
      Plan). The SERP provides officers with enhanced retirement benefits upon
      retirement after 10 years of service. The ODCP permits deferral of compensation
      to allow an executive to manage current income taxes, and the Exchange Plan
      allows eligible officers to exchange all or a portion of their annual cash
      incentive for PPL restricted stock units - at a 40% premium. The Exchange Plan
      is designed to assist executives in accumulating PPL stock in order to comply
      with our Executive Equity Ownership Guideline program. In your position, you
      would be required to hold one-time your salary in PPL shares by the end of
      five
      years.





The
      PPL
      retirement program, comprised of our all-employee defined benefit pension plan
      and SERP, will provide you significant value as of retirement on or after age
      60. We would like to discuss this with you when we discuss the
      offer.





Finally,
      you will, of course, also be eligible for PPL’s comprehensive package of other
      employee benefit plans including the tax qualified employee pension,
      savings/401(k) plan, health benefits, dental, life insurance, and other benefits
      including vacation where you will be eligible for 6 weeks of vacation, prorated
      for your first year of hire. Assuming employment begins early October, you
      will
      have 5 vacation days for 2006. Our health benefits for active employees
      currently only require employee contributions of 5% of cost on average, with
      a
      market standard option available without employee contributions. Retiree medical
      benefits are available for employees retiring after attaining age 55 with one
      year of service (this policy will be changing after 2006).





To
      facilitate your move to the Lehigh Valley, PPL offers generous relocation
      benefits, which are managed by SIRVA Relocation. Enclosed is a brief summary
      of
      relocation benefits. A relocation counselor will be assigned to you to provide
      support throughout the relocation process.
