Treasury SPC Unit holder may settle early only in integral multiples of [40] Purchase Contracts. 
 SECTION 5.7 Application of Proceeds

Holder’s obligations to pay the Purchase Price to purchase the shares of Common Stock under the related Purchase Contracts. The Collateral Agent shall also instruct the Securities Intermediary to apply a portion of the Proceeds of such
remarketing equal to $[.0625] per Pledged Note to pay the Remarketing Agent for its services rendered in connection with the remarketing. The balance of the Proceeds from such remarketing, if any, shall be transferred to the Purchase Contract Agent

Pledged Notes in accordance with applicable law and satisfy in full, from such disposition, such Holder’s obligations to pay the Purchase Price for the shares of PPL Corporation Common Stock.

elected to make an effective Cash Settlement by notifying the Purchase Contract Agent in the manner provided for in Section 5.4(d)(i) of the Purchase Contract Agreement, or has given such notice but failed to make such payment in the manner
required by Section 5.4(d)(ii) of the Purchase Contract Agreement, such Holder shall be deemed to have elected to pay for the shares of Common Stock to be issued under such Purchase Contracts from the Proceeds of the related Pledged Treasury
Securities [(or such Applicable Ownership Interest (as specified in clause (A) of the definition of such term) in the Treasury Portfolio, as the case may be]. Upon maturity of the Pledged Treasury Securities [ or Applicable Ownership Interest
(as specified in clause (A) of the definition of such term) in the Treasury Portfolio, as the case may be], the Securities Intermediary, at the written direction of the Collateral Agent, shall invest the Cash Proceeds of the maturing Pledged
Treasury Securities [ or Applicable Ownership Interest (as specified in clause (A) of the definition of such term) in the Treasury Portfolio, as the case may be,] in Permitted Investments [maturing on or prior to the Purchase Contract

of such term) in the Treasury Portfolio, as the case may be], to the settlement of such Purchase Contracts on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date. In the event the sum of the Proceeds from the related Pledged Treasury Securities [or Applicable
Ownership Interest (as specified in clause (A) of the definition of such term) in the Treasury Portfolio, as the case may be], and the investment earnings from the investment in Permitted Investments exceeds the aggregate Purchase Price of the
Purchase Contracts being settled thereby, the Collateral Agent shall instruct the Securities Intermediary to distribute such excess, when received, to the Purchase Contract Agent for the benefit of such Holder for distribution to such Holder.

 SECTION 5.8 [Tax Event Redemption. 
 If the Securities Intermediary receives notice from the Company or the Purchase Contract Agent that a Tax Event Redemption has occurred prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, the Securities Intermediary,
promptly after receipt of such notice, shall apply the Redemption Amount to purchase the Treasury Portfolio and the Securities Intermediary shall credit the Applicable Ownership Interest (as specified in clause (A) of the definition of such
term) in the Treasury Portfolio to the Collateral Account and shall transfer the Applicable Ownership Interest (as specified in clause (B) of the definition of such term) in the Treasury Portfolio to the Purchase Contract Agent for distribution
to the Holders of the SPC Units. Upon credit to the Collateral Account of the Applicable Ownership Interest (as specified in clause (A) of the definition of such term) in the Treasury Portfolio having a Value equal to the aggregate principal
amount of the Pledged Notes, the Securities Intermediary shall release the Pledged Notes from the Collateral Account and shall promptly transfer the Pledged Notes to the Company.]

 The Purchase Contract Agent may exercise, or refrain from exercising, any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Pledged Notes or
any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement and in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Contract Agreement; provided, that the Purchase Contract Agent shall not exercise or shall not refrain from
exercising such right, as the case may be, if, in the judgment of the Purchase Contract Agent, such action would impair or otherwise have a material adverse effect on the value of all or any of the Pledged Notes; and provided, further, that the
Purchase Contract Agent shall give the Company and the Collateral Agent at least five Business Days’ prior written notice of the manner in which it intends to exercise, or its reasons for refraining from exercising, any such right. Upon receipt
of any notices and other communications in respect of any Pledged Notes, including notice of any meeting at which holders of the Notes are entitled to vote or solicitation of consents, waivers or proxies of holders of the Notes, the Collateral Agent
shall use reasonable efforts to send promptly to the Purchase Contract Agent such notice or communication, and as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt of a written request therefor from the Purchase Contract Agent, execute and deliver to the
Purchase Contract Agent such proxies and other instruments in respect of such Pledged Notes (in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent) as are prepared by the Purchase Contract Agent with respect to the Pledged Notes.

which such appropriate Applicable Ownership Interest (as specified in clause (A) of the definition of such term) in the Treasury Portfolio or] the
Holder of the Treasury SPC Units of which such Pledged Treasury Securities are a part under the related Purchase Contracts, the inability to make such payments shall constitute an event of default hereunder and the Collateral Agent shall have and
may exercise, with reference to such Pledged Treasury Securities or the appropriate Applicable Ownership Interest (as specified in clause (A) of the definition of such term) in the Treasury Portfolio, as applicable, and such Obligations of such
Holder, any and all of the rights and remedies available to a secured party under the UCC and the TRADES Regulations after default by a debtor, and as otherwise granted herein or under any other law.

Pledged Notes and (iii) the principal amount of the Pledged Treasury Securities subject, in each case, to the provisions of Section 3 hereof, and as otherwise granted herein. 
 (d) The Purchase Contract Agent individually and as attorney-in-fact for each Holder of Securities, and each Holder of Securities agrees that, from time
to time, upon the written request of the Collateral Agent, or the Purchase Contract Agent, such Holder shall execute and deliver such further documents and do such other acts and things as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request in order to

 Whenever a Holder has the right to substitute Treasury Securities, Notes [or the appropriate Applicable Ownership Interest in the Treasury Portfolio, as
the case may be,] or securities entitlements to any of them, for financial assets held in the Collateral Account, such substitution shall not constitute a novation of the security interest created hereby.

 Each Holder from time to time, acting through the
Purchase Contract Agent as attorney-in-fact (it being understood that the Purchase Contract Agent shall not be liable for any representation or warranty made by or on behalf of a Holder), hereby represents and warrants to the Collateral Agent (with

notices and takes the action required of it hereunder and under applicable law for perfection of that interest and assuming the establishment and exercise of control pursuant to Section 4 hereof); and 
 (4) the execution and performance by the Holder of its obligations under this Agreement will not result in the creation of any security
interest, lien or other encumbrance on the Collateral other than the security interest and lien granted under Section 2 hereof or violate any provision of any existing law or regulation applicable to it or of any mortgage, charge, pledge,
indenture, contract or undertaking to which it is a party or which is binding on it or any of its assets.

Purchase Contract Agent or the Securities Intermediary, as the case may be, any other Person interested herein and any Holder of Securities (and any of their
respective subsidiaries or affiliates) as if it were not acting as the Collateral Agent or the Securities Intermediary, as the case may be, and the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary and their affiliates may accept fees and other

such resignation or removal, the Company shall have the right to appoint a successor Collateral Agent. If no successor Collateral Agent shall have been so
appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Collateral Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or such removal, then the retiring Collateral Agent may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent shall be a bank which has an office in New York City with a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and shall not be the Purchase Contract Agent or any of its affiliates.
Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Collateral Agent hereunder by a successor Collateral Agent, such successor Collateral Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring
Collateral Agent, and the retiring Collateral Agent shall take all appropriate action to transfer any money and property held by it hereunder (including the Collateral) to such successor Collateral Agent. The retiring Collateral Agent shall, upon
such succession, be discharged from its duties and obligations as Collateral Agent hereunder. After any retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder as Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 shall continue in effect for
its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Collateral Agent.

 (3) if the
Securities Intermediary fails to perform any of its material obligations hereunder in any material respect for a period of not less than 20 days after receiving written notice of such failure by the Purchase Contract Agent and such failure shall be
continuing, the Securities Intermediary may be removed by the Purchase Contract Agent. 
 The Purchase Contract Agent shall promptly notify
the Company of any removal of the Securities Intermediary pursuant to clause (3) of the immediately preceding sentence. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Company shall have the right to appoint a successor Securities Intermediary. If no
successor Securities Intermediary shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Securities Intermediary’s giving of notice of resignation or such removal, then the retiring Securities
Intermediary may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Securities Intermediary. The Securities Intermediary shall be a bank which has an office in New York City with a combined capital and surplus of at
least $50,000,000 and shall not be the Purchase Contract Agent or any of its affiliates. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Securities Intermediary hereunder by a successor Securities Intermediary, such successor Securities Intermediary shall
thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Securities Intermediary, and the retiring Securities Intermediary shall take all appropriate action to transfer any money and property held by
it

hereunder (including the Collateral) to such successor Securities Intermediary. The retiring Securities Intermediary shall, upon such succession, be
discharged from its duties and obligations as Securities Intermediary hereunder. After any retiring Securities Intermediary’s resignation hereunder as Securities Intermediary, the provisions of this Section 9 shall continue in effect for
its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Securities Intermediary. 
 SECTION
9.9 Right to Appoint Agent or Advisor. 
 The Collateral Agent shall have the right to appoint agents or advisors in connection with any
of its duties hereunder, and the Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by, or in reliance upon the advice of, such agents or advisors selected in good faith. The appointment of agents pursuant to this Section 9.9
shall be subject to prior consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Agent or the Securities Intermediary. 
 SECTION 9.11 Exculpation. 
 Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Collateral Agent or the Securities Intermediary or their

damage was known to the Collateral Agent or the Securities Intermediary, or any of them, incurred without any act or deed that is found to be attributable to gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Collateral Agent or the
Securities Intermediary. 
 SECTION 10. Amendment.

 With the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority of the Purchase Contracts at the time outstanding, by Act of such Holders delivered to the Company, the Purchase Contract Agent, the Securities Intermediary
and the Collateral Agent, the Company, the Purchase Contract Agent, the Securities Intermediary and the Collateral Agent may amend this Agreement for the purpose of modifying in any manner the provisions of this Agreement or the rights of the
Holders in respect of the Securities; provided, however, that no such supplemental agreement shall, without the unanimous consent of the Holders of each Outstanding Security adversely affected thereby: 
 (1) change the amount or type of Collateral underlying a Security, impair the right of the Holder of any Security to receive distributions
on the underlying Collateral or otherwise adversely affect the Holder’s rights in or to such Collateral;

not less than a majority of such class; provided, further, that the unanimous consent of the Holders of each outstanding Purchase Contract of such class affected thereby shall be required to approve any amendment or proposal specified in clauses
(1) through (3) above.
