      SUPPLEMENTAL
        INDENTURE NO. 7,
        dated
        as of December 1, 2006 between PPL
        ENERGY SUPPLY, LLC,
        a
        limited liability company duly organized and existing under the laws of the
        State of Delaware (herein called the “Company”), and THE
        BANK OF NEW YORK,
        a New
        York banking association (as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (formerly
        known as The Chase Manhattan Bank)), as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”),
        under the Indenture dated as of October 1, 2001 (hereinafter called the
“Original Indenture”), this Supplemental Indenture No. 7 being supplemental
        thereto. The Original Indenture and any and all indentures and instruments
        supplemental thereto are hereinafter sometimes collectively called the
“Indenture.”

       

      Recitals
        of the Company

       

      The
        Original Indenture was authorized, executed and delivered by the Company
        to
        provide for the issuance by the Company from time to time of its Securities
        (such term and all other capitalized terms used herein without definition
        having
        the meanings assigned to them in the Original Indenture), to be issued in
        one or
        more series as contemplated therein.

       

      As
        contemplated by Sections 301 and 1201(f) of the Original Indenture, the Company
        wishes to establish a series of Securities to be designated “Senior Notes, 6.00%
        Series due 2036” to be limited in aggregate principal amount (except as
        contemplated in Section 301(b) and the last paragraph of Section 301 of the
        Original Indenture) to $300,000,000 (such series of Securities to be hereinafter
        sometimes called “Series No. 7”).

       

      The
        Company has duly authorized the execution and delivery of this Supplemental
        Indenture No. 7 to establish the Securities of Series No. 7, and has duly
        authorized the issuance of such Securities. All acts necessary to make this
        Supplemental Indenture No. 7 a valid agreement of the Company and to make
        the
        Securities of Series No. 7 valid obligations of the Company have been
        performed.

       

      NOW,
        THEREFORE, THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE NO. 7
        WITNESSETH:

       

      For
        and
        in consideration of the premises and of the purchase of the Securities by
        the
        Holders thereof, it is mutually covenanted and agreed, for the equal and
        proportionate benefit of all Holders of the Securities of Series No. 7 as
        follows:

       

      ARTICLE
        ONE 

       

      Seventh
        Series of Securities

       

      Section
        1.  There
        is
        hereby created a series of Securities designated “Senior Notes, 6.00% Series due
        2036” and limited in aggregate principal amount (except as contemplated in
        Section 301(b) and the last paragraph of Section 301 of the Original Indenture)
        to $300,000,000. The form and terms of the Securities of Series No. 7 shall
        be established in an Officer’s Certificate of the Company, as contemplated by
        Section 301 of the Original Indenture.

       

      Section
        2.  The
        Company hereby agrees that, if the Company shall make any deposit of money
        and/or Eligible Obligations with respect to any Securities of Series No. 7
        or any portion of the principal amount thereof, as contemplated by Section
        701
        of the Indenture, the Company shall not deliver an Officer’s Certificate
        described in clause (z) in the first paragraph of said Section 701 unless
        the
        Company shall also deliver to the Trustee, together with such Officer’s
        Certificate, either:

       

      (A)  an
        instrument wherein the Company, notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge
        of its indebtedness in respect of such Securities, shall assume the obligation
        (which shall be absolute and unconditional) to irrevocably deposit with the
        Trustee or Paying Agent such additional sums of money, if any, or additional
        Eligible Obligations (meeting the requirements of Section 701), if any, or
        any
        combination thereof, at such time or times, as shall be necessary, together
        with
        the money and/or Eligible Obligations theretofore so deposited, to pay when
        due
        the principal of and premium, if any, and interest due and to become due
        on such
        Securities or portions thereof, all in accordance with and subject to the
        provisions of said Section 701; provided,
        however,
        that
        such instrument may state that the obligation of the Company to make additional
        deposits as aforesaid shall arise only upon the delivery to the Company by
        the
        Trustee of a notice asserting the deficiency and showing the calculation
        thereof
        and shall continue only until the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee
        an
        opinion of an independent public accountant of nationally recognized standing
        to
        the effect that no such deficiency exists and showing the calculation of
        the
        sufficiency of the deposits then held by the Trustee; or

       

      (B)  an
        Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of such Securities, or
        portions of the principal amount thereof, will not recognize income, gain
        or
        loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of the
        satisfaction and discharge of the Company’s indebtedness in respect thereof and
        will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amounts,
        at the
        same times and in the same manner as if such satisfaction and discharge had
        not
        been effected.

       

      Section
        3.  The
        Company agrees that for so long as any Securities of Series No. 7 shall
        remain Outstanding, without consent of the Holders of a majority in principal
        amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series, the Company shall not
        create, incur or assume any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) upon any property
        of the Company, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in order to secure
        any
        Debt of the Company. The foregoing agreement shall not restrict the ability
        of
        Subsidiaries or Affiliates of the Company to create, incur or assume any
        Lien
        upon their properties or assets.

       

      Section
        4.  The
        provisions of Section 3 above shall not prohibit the creation, issuance,
        incurrence or assumption of any Lien if either

       

      (A)  the
        Company shall make effective provision whereby all Securities of Series
        No. 7 then Outstanding shall be secured equally and ratably with all other
        Debt then outstanding under such Lien; or

       

      (B)  the
        Company shall deliver to the Trustee bonds, notes or other evidences of
        indebtedness secured by the Lien which secures such Debt (hereinafter called
        “Secured Obligations”) (I) in an aggregate principal amount equal to the
        aggregate principal amount of the Securities of Series No. 7 then Outstanding,
        (II) maturing (or being subject to mandatory redemption) on such dates and
        in
        such principal amounts that, at each Stated Maturity of the Outstanding
        Securities of Series No. 7, there shall mature (or be redeemed) Secured
        Obligations equal in principal amount to such Securities then to mature and
        (III) containing, in addition to any mandatory redemption provisions applicable
        to all Secured Obligations outstanding under such Lien and any mandatory
        redemption provisions contained therein pursuant to clause (II) above, mandatory
        redemption provisions correlative to the provisions, if any, for the mandatory
        redemption (pursuant to a sinking fund or otherwise) of the Securities of
        Series
        No. 7 or for the redemption thereof at the option of the Holder, as well as
        a provision for mandatory redemption upon an acceleration of the maturity
        of all
        Outstanding Securities of Series No. 7 following an Event of Default (such
        mandatory redemption to be rescinded upon the rescission of such acceleration);
        it being expressly understood that such Secured Obligations (X) may, but
        need
        not, bear interest, (Y) may, but need not, contain provisions for the redemption
        thereof at the option of the issuer, any such redemption to be made at a
        redemption price or prices not less than the principal amount thereof and
        (Z)
        shall be held by the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of all Securities
        of
        Series No. 7 from time to time Outstanding subject to such terms and
        conditions relating to surrender to the Company, transfer restrictions, voting,
        application of payments of principal and interest and other matters as shall
        be
        set forth in an indenture supplemental hereto specifically providing for
        the
        delivery to the Trustee of such Secured Obligations.

       

      Section
        5.  If
        the
        Company shall elect either of the alternatives described in Section 4 above,
        the
        Company shall deliver to the Trustee:

       

      (A)  an
        indenture supplemental to the Original Indenture (I) together with any
        appropriate inter-creditor arrangements, whereby such Securities of Series
        No. 7 then Outstanding shall be secured by the Lien referred to in Section
        4 above equally and ratably with all other indebtedness secured by such Lien
        or
        (II) providing for the delivery to the Trustee of Secured Obligations;
        and

       

      (B)  an
        Officer’s Certificate (I) stating that, to the knowledge of the signer, (1) no
        Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (2) no event has occurred
        and is continuing which entitles the secured party under such Lien to accelerate
        the maturity of the indebtedness outstanding thereunder and (II) stating
        the
        aggregate principal amount of indebtedness issuable, and then proposed to
        be
        issued, under and secured by such Lien; and

       

      (C)  an
        Opinion of Counsel (I) if the Securities of Series No. 7 then Outstanding
        are to be secured by such Lien, to the effect that all such Securities then
        Outstanding are entitled to the benefit of such Lien equally and ratably
        with
        all other indebtedness outstanding under such Lien or (II) if Secured
        Obligations are to be delivered to the Trustee, to the effect that such Secured
        Obligations have been duly issued under such Lien and constitute valid
        obligations, entitled to the benefit of such Lien equally and ratably with
        all
        other indebtedness then outstanding under such Lien.

       

      Section
        6.  The
        Company agrees that for so long as any Securities of Series No. 7 shall remain
        Outstanding, and except for the sale of the properties and assets of the
        Company
        substantially as an entirety pursuant to Article Eleven of the Original
        Indenture, and other than assets required to be sold to conform with
        governmental requirements, the Company shall not, and shall not permit any
        of
        its Subsidiaries to, consummate any Asset Sale, if the aggregate net book
        value
        of all such Asset Sales consummated during the four calendar quarters
        immediately preceding any date of determination would exceed 15% of the
        consolidated assets of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of
        the
        beginning of the Company’s most recently ended full fiscal quarter; provided,
        however,
        that
        any such Asset Sale will be disregarded for purposes of the 15% limitation
        specified above (i) if any such Asset Sale is in the ordinary course of
        business, (ii) to the extent that such assets are worn out or are no longer
        useful or necessary in connection with the operation of the business of the
        Company or its Subsidiaries, (iii) to the extent such assets are being
        transferred to a wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company, (iv) to the extent
        any
        such assets subject to any such Asset Sale involve transfers of assets of
        or
        equity interests in connection with (a) the formation of any joint venture
        between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and any other entity, or (b)
        any
        project development and acquisition activities, and (v) if the proceeds thereof
        (a) are, within 12 months of such Asset Sale, invested or reinvested by the
        Company or any Subsidiary in a Permitted Business, (b) are used by the Company
        or a Subsidiary to repay Debt of the Company or such Subsidiary, or (c) are
        retained by the Company or its Subsidiaries. Additionally, if prior to any
        Asset
        Sale that otherwise would cause the 15% limitation to be exceeded, Moody’s and
        S&P confirm the then current long term debt rating of such Securities of
        Series No. 7 after giving effect to such Asset Sale, such Asset Sale shall
        also be disregarded for purposes of the foregoing limitations.

       

      Section
        7.  So
        long
        as any Securities of Series No. 7 shall remain Outstanding, the following
        event shall be an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of Series
        No.
        7: the occurrence of a matured event of default, as defined in any instrument
        of
        the Company under which there may be issued or evidenced any Debt of the
        Company, that has resulted in the acceleration of such Debt in excess of
        $25,000,000, or any default in payment of Debt in excess of $25,000,000 at
        final
        maturity, after the expiration of any applicable grace or cure periods;
provided,
        however,
        that
        the waiver or cure of any such default under any such instrument or Debt
        shall
        constitute a waiver and cure of the corresponding Event of Default under
        the
        Indenture and the rescission and annulment of the consequences thereof shall
        constitute a rescission and annulment of the corresponding consequences under
        the Indenture.

       

      Section
        8.  So
        long
        as any Securities of Series No. 7 shall remain Outstanding, for purposes of
        Section 1101(a) of the Indenture, “corporation” shall be deemed to refer to a
        corporation or limited liability company. For all other purposes, the definition
        of “corporation” in Section 101 of the Original Indenture shall
