**Section 1 - Registrant's Business and Operations**

**Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement**

On February 23, 2026, PPL Corporation (the "Company") and PPL Capital Funding, Inc. ("PPL Capital Funding") entered into an underwriting agreement (the "Underwriting Agreement") with the underwriters named in Section 3 thereto (the "Underwriters"), for whom J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, BofA Securities, Inc., Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and RBC Capital Markets, LLC are acting as representatives, covering the issuance and sale of 20,000,000 equity units, initially in the form of corporate units (the "Corporate Units"). Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company also granted the Underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional 3,000,000 Corporate Units to cover over-allotments. On February 26, 2026, the Company completed its offering of the 23,000,000 Corporate Units, including the exercise in full of the Underwriters' over-allotment option.

Each Corporate Unit has a stated amount of $50 and is comprised of (i) a purchase contract (each, a "stock purchase contract") which will obligate the holder to purchase from the Company, no later than February 15, 2029, a certain number of shares of the Company's common stock, $0.01 par value (the "Common Stock"), for $50 in cash; (ii) a 1/40 undivided beneficial ownership interest in $1,000 principal amount of the PPL Capital Funding's 4.02% Remarketable Senior Notes due 2034 (the "2034 RSNs"); and (iii) a 1/40 undivided beneficial ownership interest in $1,000 principal amount of the PPL Capital Funding's 4.02% Remarketable Senior Notes due 2039 (the "2039 RSNs" and, together with the 2034 RSNs, the "RSNs"). Total annual distributions on the Corporate Units will be at the rate of 7.00% of the stated amount, consisting of quarterly contract adjustment payments under the stock purchase contracts in the amount of 2.98% per year and interest on the RSNs in the amount of 4.02% per year. The RSNs are fully and unconditionally guaranteed as to payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, under guarantees (the "Guarantees") of the Company.

The RSNs were issued pursuant to the Indenture dated as of November 1, 1997 (the "Notes Indenture"), among the Company, PPL Capital Funding and The Bank of New York Mellon (as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (formerly known as The Chase Manhattan Bank)), as trustee, as amended and supplemented, including by Supplemental Indenture No. 19, establishing the terms of the 2034 RSNs and by Supplemental Indenture No. 20, establishing the terms of the 2039 RSNs, each dated as of February 26, 2026.

The stock purchase contracts were issued pursuant to a Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement dated as of February 26, 2026 (the "Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement"), among the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, as purchase contract agent, collateral agent, custodial agent and securities intermediary.

Under the terms of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, the RSNs are pledged as collateral to secure the obligations of the holders of the Corporate Units to purchase the shares of Common Stock under the stock purchase contracts that form a part of the Corporate Units. The RSNs will be remarketed, subject to certain terms and conditions, prior to the applicable stock purchase contract settlement date pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Contact and Pledge Agreement and a remarketing agreement to be entered into among the Company, The Bank of New York Mellon and a remarketing agent.

The Corporate Units, including the RSNs and the Guarantees, were registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to the joint shelf registration statement (Registration Nos. 333-277140 and 333-277140-04) of the Company and PPL Capital Funding.

------

The foregoing disclosure is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Underwriting Agreement which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1, the Notes Indenture previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and incorporated by reference as Exhibit 4.1 hereto, Supplemental Indenture No. 19, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.2, Supplemental Indenture No. 20, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.4, the form of 2034 RSN, which is included in Exhibit 4.2 hereto, the form of 2039 RSN, which is included in Exhibit 4.4 hereto, the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.6, and the forms of Remarketing Agreement, Corporate Unit and Treasury Unit, each of which is included in Exhibit 4.6 hereto.

The Registration Statement is an "automatic shelf registration statement," as defined in Rule 405, and the Securities, since their registration on the Registration Statement, have been and remain eligible for registration by the Company and PPL Capital Funding on a Rule 405 "automatic shelf registration statement." Neither the Company nor PPL Capital Funding have received from the Commission any notice pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) of the Securities Act Regulations objecting to the use of the automatic shelf registration statement form. (b) The Original Registration Statement became effective upon filing under Rule 462(e) of the Securities Act Regulations on February 16, 2024, and any post-effective amendment thereto also became effective upon filing under Rule 462(e). No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and/or any notice objecting to its use has been issued under the Securities Act and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or are pending or, to the knowledge of the Company and PPL Capital Funding, are contemplated by the Commission, and any request on the part of the Commission for additional information has been complied with.

At the respective times the Original Registration Statement and each amendment thereto became effective, at each deemed effective date with respect to the Underwriters pursuant to Rule 430B(f)(2) of the Securities Act Regulations and at the Closing Date and any Option Closing Date, as applicable, the Registration Statement complied and will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Securities Act Regulations and the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "Trust Indenture Act"), and the rules and regulations thereunder, and did not and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. Neither the Prospectus nor any amendments or supplements thereto, at the time the Prospectus or any such amendment or supplement was issued and at the Closing Date and any Option Closing Date, as applicable, included or will include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or will omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

------

![](ppl02262026ex11005.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5 #101792467v6 Each preliminary prospectus (including the prospectus or prospectuses filed as part of the Original Registration Statement or any amendment thereto) complied when so filed and each Prospectus will comply when so filed in all material respects with the Securities Act Regulations and each preliminary prospectus and the Prospectus delivered to the Underwriters for use in connection with this offering was identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T. As of the Applicable Time (as defined below), neither (x) the Issuer General Use Free Writing Prospectus(es) (as defined below) issued at or prior to the Applicable Time, including, but not limited to, the Final Term Sheet prepared and filed pursuant to Section 6(b) and the Statutory Prospectus (as defined below), all considered together (collectively, the "General Disclosure Package"), nor (y) any individual Issuer Limited Use Free Writing Prospectus (as defined below), when considered together with the General Disclosure Package, included any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. As of the Applicable Time, the General Disclosure Package will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. As used in this subsection and elsewhere in this Agreement: "Applicable Time" means 10:00 p.m. (New York City time) on February 23, 2026 or such other time as agreed by the Company, PPL Capital Funding and the Representatives. "Issuer Free Writing Prospectus" means any "issuer free writing prospectus," as defined in Rule 433 of the Securities Act Regulations ("Rule 433"), relating to the Securities that (i) is required to be filed with the Commission by the Issuers, (ii) is a "road show that is a written communication" within the meaning of Rule 433(d)(8)(i), whether or not required to be filed with the Commission or (iii) is exempt from filing pursuant to Rule 433(d)(5)(i) because it contains a description of the Securities or of the offering that does not reflect the final terms, in each case in the form filed or required to be filed with the Commission or, if not required to be filed, in the form retained or required to be retained in the Company's and PPL Capital Funding's records pursuant to Rule 433(g). "Issuer General Use Free Writing Prospectus" means any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus that is intended for general distribution to prospective investors, as evidenced by its being specified in Schedule A hereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6 #101792467v6 "Permitted Free Writing Prospectus" means any free writing prospectus consented to in writing by the Company, PPL Capital Funding and the Representatives. For the avoidance of doubt, any free writing prospectus that is not consented to in writing by the Company and PPL Capital Funding does not constitute a Permitted Free Writing Prospectus and will not be an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;21 #101792467v6 In case any such condition shall not have been satisfied, this Agreement may be terminated by the Representatives upon notice in writing (such writing shall be deemed to have been duly given if mailed or transmitted and confirmed by any standard form of telecommunication) to the Company without liability or obligation on the part of the Company and PPL Capital Funding or any Underwriter, except as provided in Sections 6(e), 6(i), 9, 11 and 13 hereof. 8. Conditions of the Obligations of the Issuers. The obligations of the Company to sell and deliver the Securities on the Closing Date are subject to the condition that at the Closing Date no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and/or any notice objecting to its use shall be in effect or proceeding therefor shall have been instituted or, to the knowledge of the Company or PPL Capital Funding, shall be contemplated. If such condition shall not have been satisfied, then each of the Company and PPL Capital Funding shall be entitled, by notice in writing (such writing shall be deemed to have been duly given if mailed or transmitted and confirmed by any standard form of telecommunication) to the Representatives, to terminate this Agreement without any liability on the part of the Company, PPL Capital Funding or any Underwriter, except as provided in Sections 6(e), 6(j), 9, 11 and 13 hereof. 9. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) The Issuers agree that they will jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter and the officers, directors, partners, members, employees, agents and affiliates of each Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any loss, expense, claim, damage or liability (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim, as such expenses are incurred) to which, jointly or severally, such Underwriter or such controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, expense, claim, damage or liability (or actions in respect thereof) arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Statutory Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any Testing the Waters Communication or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement to any thereof, or arises out of or is based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and, except as hereinafter in this Section provided, the Issuers agree to reimburse each indemnified party (as defined below) for any reasonable legal or other expenses as incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, expense, claim, damage or liability; provided, however, that neither the Company nor PPL Capital Funding shall be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, expense, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based on an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any such document in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information furnished to the Company by or through the Representatives on behalf of any Underwriter expressly for use in any such document (provided that the only such information is that set forth on Schedule

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;22 #101792467v6 B hereto) or arises out of, or is based on, statements or omissions from the part of the Registration Statement which shall constitute the Statement of Eligibility under the Trust Indenture Act of the Indenture Trustee. (b) Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, agrees that it will indemnify and hold harmless the Company and PPL Capital Funding and its officers and directors, and each of them, and each person, if any, who controls the Company and PPL Capital Funding within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any loss, expense, claim, damage or liability (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim, as such expenses are incurred) to which it or they may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, expense, claim, damage or liability (or actions in respect thereof) arises out of or is based on any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Statutory Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement to any thereof, or arises out of or is based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, and only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in any such documents in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information furnished to the Company and PPL Capital Funding by or through the Representatives on behalf of such Underwriter expressly for use in any such document (provided that the only such information is that set forth on Schedule B hereto); and, except as hereinafter in this Section provided, each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, agrees to reimburse the Company and PPL Capital Funding and their respective officers and directors, and each of them, and each person, if any, who controls the Company and PPL Capital Funding within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by it or them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, expense, claim, damage or liability. (c) Upon receipt of notice of the commencement of any action against any person in respect of which indemnification may be sought pursuant to either subsection (a) or (b) above, such person (an "indemnified party") shall, with reasonable promptness, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under its agreement contained in this Section 9, notify such indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to the indemnified party otherwise than under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 9. If any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof: (i) in the case of a civil proceeding (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any governmental, regulatory or non-civil proceeding), the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in such civil proceeding and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such civil proceeding, and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such civil proceeding, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case, subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof, other than reasonable costs of

------

![](ppl02262026ex11023.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;23 #101792467v6 investigation; and (ii) in case any governmental, regulatory or non-civil proceeding, upon request of the indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such governmental, regulatory or non-civil proceeding and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such governmental, regulatory or non-civil proceeding. In the event that any indemnifying party elects to assume the defense of any such action and retain such counsel, the indemnified party shall bear the fees and expenses of any additional counsel retained by it unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the indemnifying party has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; (iii) the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and the representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such indemnified parties and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by the Representatives, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 9(a), and by the Company, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 9(b). No indemnifying party shall be liable in the event of any settlement of any such action effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense by reason of such settlement or judgment. Each indemnified party agrees promptly to notify each indemnifying party of the commencement of any litigation or proceedings against it in connection with the issue and sale of the RSNs. (d) In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 9 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, the Company and the Underwriters severally agree to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending the same) (collectively "Losses") to which the Company and one or more of the Underwriters may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and by the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Securities. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the Company and the Underwriters severally shall contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by the parties shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as (x) in the case of the Company, the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by it and (y) in the case of the Underwriters, the total underwriting discounts and commissions, in each case, as set forth on the cover page of the Prospectus. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to

![](ppl02262026ex11024.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;24 #101792467v6 state a material fact relates to information provided by the Company on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. In no case shall any Underwriter (except as may be provided in any agreement among underwriters relating to the offering of the Securities) be responsible for any amount in excess of the underwriting discount or commission applicable to the Securities purchased by such Underwriter hereunder. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 9, each person who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and each affiliate, director, officer, employee and agent of an Underwriter shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, each officer of the Company who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case, to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (d). The Underwriters' obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 9 are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations and not joint. (e) No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which indemnification or contribution could be sought under this Section 9 (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party and all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim, and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or the failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party. (f) The indemnity and contribution provided for in this Section 9 and the representations and warranties of the Issuers and the several Underwriters set forth in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any person controlling any Underwriter or the Company, PPL Capital Funding or their respective directors or officers, (ii) the acceptance of any Securities and payment therefor under this Agreement, and (iii) any termination of this Agreement. 10. Default of Underwriters. If any Underwriter or Underwriters default in their obligations to purchase Securities hereunder on either the Closing Date or any Option Closing Date and the aggregate number of Securities that such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase does not exceed 10% of the total number of Securities offered that the Underwriters are obligated to purchase on the Closing Date or any Option Closing Date, as applicable, the non- defaulting Underwriters may make arrangements satisfactory to the Issuers for the purchase of

------

![](ppl02262026ex11025.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;25 #101792467v6 such Securities by other persons, including any of the non-defaulting Underwriters, but if no such arrangements are made by the Closing Date or any Option Closing Date, as applicable, the other Underwriters shall be obligated, severally in the proportion which their respective commitments hereunder bear to the total commitment of the non-defaulting Underwriters, to purchase the Securities which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase. In the event that any Underwriter or Underwriters default in their obligations to purchase Securities hereunder, the Issuers may by prompt written notice to non-defaulting Underwriters postpone the Closing Date or the relevant Option Closing Date for a period of not more than seven full business days in order to effect whatever changes may thereby be made necessary in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or in any other documents, and the Issuers will promptly file any amendments to the Registration Statement or supplements to the Prospectus which may thereby be made necessary. If, on the Closing Date or the relevant Option Closing Date, any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase such Securities and the aggregate principal amount of such Securities with respect to which such default occurs exceeds 10% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be purchased on such date, and arrangements satisfactory to the Representatives, the Company and PPL Capital Funding for the purchase of such Securities are not made within 48 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Sections 6(j), 9, 11 and 13 shall at all times be effective and shall survive such termination. As used in this Agreement, the term "Underwriter" includes any person substituted for an Underwriter under this Section. Nothing herein will relieve an Underwriter from liability for its default. 11. Survival of Certain Representations and Obligations. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations and warranties of the Company and PPL Capital Funding and of or on behalf of the several Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation, or statement as to the results thereof, made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or the Company and PPL Capital Funding or any of their respective officers or directors or any controlling person, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Securities. If for any reason the purchase of the Securities by the Underwriters is not consummated, the Company and PPL Capital Funding shall remain responsible for the expenses to be paid or reimbursed by it pursuant to Section 6, and the respective obligations of the Company, PPL Capital Funding and the Underwriters pursuant to Section 9 hereof shall remain in effect. If the purchase of the Securities by the Underwriters is not consummated for any reason other than solely because of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10 or the occurrence of any event specified in clause (ii) (other than for any suspension of trading of any securities of the Company or PPL Capital Funding on any exchange or in the over-the- counter market), (iii), (iv) or (v) of Section 7(c), the Company and PPL Capital Funding will reimburse the Underwriters for all out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) reasonably incurred by them in connection with the offering of the Securities. 12. Notices. The Company and PPL Capital Funding shall be entitled to act and rely upon any statement, request, notice or agreement on behalf of each of the Underwriters if the same shall

The exact stock price and effective date applicable to a fundamental change may not be set forth on the table, in which case: if the stock price is between two stock prices on the table or the effective date is between two effective dates on the table, the amount of make- whole shares will be determined by straight line interpolation between the make-whole share amounts set forth for the higher and lower stock prices and the two effective dates based on a 365-day year, as applicable; if the stock price is in excess of $125.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the stock prices set forth in the second row of the table as described above) then the make-whole share amount will be zero; and if the stock price is less than $10.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the stock prices set forth in the second row of the table above) (the "minimum stock price"), then the make-whole share amount will be determined as if the stock price equaled the minimum stock price, using straight line interpolation, as described above in the first bullet, if the effective date is between two effective dates on the table. Unless the Treasury portfolio has replaced the RSNs as a component of the Corporate Units as a result of a successful optional remarketing, holders of Corporate Units may exercise the fundamental change early settlement right only in integral multiples of 40 Corporate Units.

In such capacity, I am furnishing you this opinion pursuant to Section 7(d) of the Underwriting Agreement dated February 23, 2026 (the "Underwriting Agreement") among the Company, PPL Capital Funding and each of the several Underwriters named therein (the "Underwriters"). The Notes are to be issued pursuant to the provisions of the Base Indenture dated as of November 1, 1997, heretofore supplemented and as further supplemented by Supplemental Indenture No. 19 establishing the terms of the 2034 RSNs and by Supplemental Indenture No. 20 establishing the terms of the 2039 RSNs, each dated as of February 26, 2026 (the Base Indenture as so supplemented, the "Indenture") among PPL Capital Funding, the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon (as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.

This opinion is delivered pursuant to Section 7(e) of the Underwriting Agreement. In accordance with the terms of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement (the "Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement") dated February 26, 2026 among the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, as purchase contract agent (the "Purchase Contract Agent"), collateral agent (the "Collateral Agent"), custodial agent and securities intermediary, pursuant to which the Corporate Units are to be issued, the holders of Corporate Units will pledge all of their respective right, title and interest in and to the Notes underlying the Corporate Units to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Company, to secure the holders' obligations under the Purchase Contracts. The Notes are to be issued pursuant to the provisions of the Base Indenture dated as of November 1, 1997, heretofore supplemented and as further supplemented by Supplemental Indenture No. 19 establishing the terms of the 2034 RSNs and by Supplemental Indenture No. 20 establishing the terms of the 2039 RSNs, each dated as of February 26, 2026 (the Base Indenture as so supplemented, the "Indenture") among PPL Capital Funding, the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon (as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (formerly known as The Chase Manhattan Bank)), as trustee (the "Trustee"). We have examined originals or copies of such documents, corporate records, certificates of public officials and other instruments as we have deemed necessary or advisable for the purpose of rendering this opinion. We have also reviewed the Company's and PPL Capital Funding's joint registration statement on Form S- 3 (File Nos. 333-277140 and 333-277140-04) (including the documents incorporated by reference therein (the "Incorporated Documents")) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") pursuant to the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), relating to the registration of securities (the "Shelf Securities") to be issued from time to time by the Company and PPL Capital Funding and have participated in the preparation of the preliminary prospectus supplement dated February 23, 2026 (the "Preliminary Prospectus Supplement") relating to the Securities, the pricing term sheet dated February 23, 2026 relating to the Securities and filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 433 under the Act (the "Pricing Term Sheet") and the prospectus supplement dated February 23, 2026 relating to the Securities (the "Prospectus Supplement"). The registration statement became effective under the Act and the Indenture qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "Trust Indenture Act"), upon the filing of the registration statement with the Commission on February 16, 2024 pursuant to Rule 462(e). The registration statement at the date of the Underwriting Agreement, including the Incorporated Documents and the information deemed to be part of the registration statement at the time of effectiveness pursuant to Rule 430B under the Act, is hereinafter referred to as the "Registration Statement," and the related prospectus (including the Incorporated Documents) dated February 16, 2024 relating to the Shelf Securities is hereinafter referred to as the "Basic Prospectus." The Basic Prospectus, as supplemented by the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement, together with the Pricing Term Sheet, are hereinafter referred to as the "Disclosure Package." The Basic Prospectus, as supplemented by the Prospectus Supplement, in the form first used to confirm sales of the Securities (or in the form first made available by the Company to the Underwriters to meet requests of purchasers of the Securities under Rule 173 under the Act), is hereinafter referred to as the "Prospectus." In rendering the opinions expressed herein, we have, without independent inquiry or investigation, assumed that (i) all documents submitted to us as originals are authentic and complete, (ii) all documents submitted to us as copies conform to authentic, complete originals, (iii) all documents filed with or submitted to the Commission through its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval ("EDGAR") system (except for required EDGAR formatting changes) conform to the versions of such documents

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the additional assumptions and qualifications set forth below, we are of the opinion that: 1. PPL Capital Funding is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. 2. The Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by PPL Capital Funding, and assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Company, is a valid and binding agreement of, the Company and PPL Capital Funding, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally, concepts of reasonableness and equitable principles of general applicability, provided that we express no opinion as to (x) the enforceability of any waiver of rights under any usury or stay law and (y) the effect of fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or similar provision of applicable law on the conclusions expressed above. 3. The Notes have been duly authorized and executed by PPL Capital Funding and, when executed and authenticated by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and delivered to and paid for by the Underwriters pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, will be valid and binding obligations of PPL Capital Funding, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally, concepts of reasonableness and equitable principles of general applicability, and will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture pursuant to which such Notes are to be issued, provided that we express no opinion as to (x) the enforceability of any waiver of rights under any usury or stay law and (y) the effect of fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or similar provision of applicable law on the conclusions expressed above. 4. Assuming the due authorization of the Guarantees by the Company, the Guarantees, when the Notes (and the Guarantees endorsed thereon) are executed and authenticated in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and delivered to and paid for by the Underwriters pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, will be valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally, concepts of reasonableness and equitable principles of general applicability, and will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture pursuant to which the Guarantees are to be issued; provided that we express no opinion as to (x) the enforceability of any waiver of rights under any usury or stay law and (y) the effect of fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or similar provision of applicable law on the conclusions expressed above. 5. Assuming due authorization of the Corporate Units by the Company and when executed and authenticated in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement and delivered to and paid for by the Underwriters in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Corporate Units will be valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;#101792467v6 terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally, concepts of reasonableness and equitable principles of general applicability, and will be entitled to the benefits of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement; provided that we express no opinion as to (x) the enforceability of any waiver of rights under any usury or stay law and (y) the validity, legally binding effect or enforceability of any provision in the Corporate Units that provides for a settlement rate in connection with certain corporate events in an amount that a court would determine in the circumstances under applicable law to be commercially unreasonable or a penalty or forfeiture. 6. Assuming due authorization, execution and delivery of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement by the Company and assuming due authorization, execution and delivery thereof by the other parties thereto, the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement is a valid and binding agreement of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally, concepts of reasonableness and equitable principles of general applicability; provided that we express no opinion as to (x) the enforceability of any waiver of rights under any usury or stay law and (y) the validity, legally binding effect or enforceability of any provision in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement that provides for a settlement rate in connection with certain corporate events in an amount that a court would determine in the circumstances under applicable law to be commercially unreasonable or a penalty or forfeiture. 7. The Underwriting Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by PPL Capital Funding. 8. Neither the Company nor PPL Capital Funding is, or after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Securities and the application of the proceeds thereof as described in the Prospectus will be, required to register as an investment company as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. 9. No consent, approval, authorization, or order of, or qualification with, any governmental body or agency under the laws of the State of New York or any federal law of the United States of America that in our experience is normally applicable to general business corporations in relation to transactions of the type contemplated by the Securities, the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, the Indenture and the Underwriting Agreement (collectively, the "Documents") is required for the execution, delivery and performance by the Company or PPL Capital Funding of its respective obligations under the Documents, except such as may be required under federal or state securities or Blue Sky laws as to which we express no opinion. 10. The execution and delivery by PPL Capital Funding of, and the performance by PPL Capital Funding of its obligations under, the Documents will not contravene the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of PPL Capital Funding. We have considered the statements included in the Disclosure Package under the captions "Description of the Equity Units," "Description of the Purchase Contracts," "Certain Provisions of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement" and "Description of the Remarketable Senior Notes" and in the Prospectus under such captions insofar as they summarize provisions of the Securities, the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement and the Indenture. In our opinion, such statements fairly summarize these provisions in all material respects. The statements included in the Disclosure Package and the

In rendering the opinions in paragraphs (2) through (7) above, we have assumed that each party to the Documents other than as expressly covered above in respect of PPL Capital Funding has been duly incorporated and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization. In addition, we have assumed that (i) the execution, delivery and performance by each party thereto of each Document to which it is a party, (a) are within its corporate powers, (b) do not contravene, or constitute a default under, the certificate of incorporation or bylaws or other constitutive documents of such party, (c) require no action by or in respect of, or filing with, any governmental body, agency or official and (d) do not contravene, or constitute a default under, any provision of applicable law or regulation or any judgment, injunction, order or decree or any agreement or other instrument binding upon such party, provided that we make no such assumption to the extent that we have specifically opined as to such matters with respect to the Company and PPL Capital Funding, and (ii) each Document (other than the Underwriting Agreement) is a valid, binding and enforceable agreement of each party thereto (other than as expressly covered above in respect of the Company and PPL Capital Funding). We are members of the Bar of the State of New York, and the foregoing opinion is limited to the laws of the State of New York, the federal laws of the United States of America and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, except that we express no opinion as to (i) any law, rule or regulation that is applicable to the Company or PPL Capital Funding, the Documents or such transactions solely because such law, rule or regulation is part of a regulatory regime applicable to any party to any of the Documents or any of its affiliates due to the specific assets or business of such party or such affiliate or (ii) any law, rule or regulation relating to national security. Insofar as the foregoing opinion involves matters governed by the laws of Pennsylvania, we have relied, without independent inquiry or investigation, on the opinion of W. Eric Marr, Esq., Assistant General Counsel of PPL Corporation, delivered to you today pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement. This opinion is rendered solely to you and the other several Underwriters in connection with the Underwriting Agreement. In rendering his opinion to you, W.

(a) Except as provided in Section 2.04, the RSNs shall be issued in fully registered, certificated form, without coupons and bearing identical terms. RSNs corresponding to Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes that are components of Corporate Units shall be registered in the name of the Purchase Contract Agent. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 2.03(a), principal of and interest on the RSNs will be payable, the transfer of such RSNs will be registrable, and such RSNs will be exchangeable for RSNs of a like aggregate principal amount bearing identical terms and provisions, at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose, which shall initially be the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; provided, however, that payment of interest will be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register except that (i) if such Person shall be a securities depositary, such payment may be made pursuant to the applicable procedures of such depositary and (ii) if such Person is a Holder of $10,000,000 or more in aggregate principal amount of RSNs such payment may be made in immediately available funds by wire transfer to such account as may have been designated in writing by the Person entitled thereto as set forth herein in time for the Paying Agent to make such payments in accordance with its normal procedures; provided further that the Company, in its discretion, may change the Place of Payment of the RSNs, may remove the Paying Agent and may appoint one or more additional Paying Agents (including the Company or any of its affiliates). Any such designation for wire transfer purposes shall be made by filing the appropriate information with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office not less than fifteen calendar days prior to the applicable payment date and, unless revoked by written notice to the Trustee received on or prior to the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date, shall remain in effect with respect to any further interest payments (other than interest payments due at Stated Maturity or on any Redemption Date) with respect to this RSN payable to such Holder. Payments with respect to any Global Note or any RSN corresponding to Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes that are components of Corporate Units will be made by wire transfer to the Depository or in accordance with any other applicable procedures of the Depository. (b) The RSNs shall be issuable in minimum denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; provided, however, that upon the release by the Collateral Agent of RSNs underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes in accordance with Section 3.15 of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, if any Holder or Beneficial Owner shall be entitled to receive RSNs in an aggregate principal amount that is not an integral multiple of $1,000, the RSNs shall be issuable in denominations of $25 and integral multiples of $25 in excess thereof, in exchange for RSNs in minimum denominations of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof.

On the date on which the RSNs registered in the name of the Purchase Contract Agent pursuant to Section 2.03 are issued, the Company shall also issue one or more Global Notes, registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee, each having a zero principal balance. Upon the creation of Treasury Units, or the re-creation of Corporate Units or in any other case where the Collateral Agent releases RSNs underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes, an appropriate annotation shall be made on the Schedule of Increases or Decreases in Note on the Global Notes held by the Depository and on the Pledged Security held by the Collateral Agent. Except upon recreation of Corporate Units, RSNs represented by the Global Notes will be exchangeable for RSNs in certificated form only (x) if the Depository (A) has notified the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depository for the Global Notes or (B) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor depository that is a clearing agency registered under Section 17A of the Exchange Act is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after such notice or cessation, or (y) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or any other event that after notice or lapse of time, would constitute an Event of Default with respect to the RSNs and any Beneficial Owner of a Corporate Unit or beneficial owner of a Global Note requests that its beneficial interest be exchanged for an RSN in certificated form; provided, subject to Section 2.03, that the RSNs in certificated form so issued in exchange for the Global Notes shall be in denominations of $1,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000 above that amount and shall be of like aggregate principal amount and tenor as the portion of the Global Note to be exchanged. Except as provided above, owners of beneficial interest in a Global Note will not be entitled to receive physical delivery of RSNs in certificated form and will not be considered the Holders thereof for any purpose under the Indenture. Unless and until such Global Note is exchanged for RSNs in certificated form, Global Notes may be transferred, in whole but not in part, and any payments on the RSNs shall be made, only to the Depository or a nominee of the Depository, or to a successor Depository selected or approved by the Company or to a nominee of such successor Depository. Any Global Note that is exchangeable pursuant to clause (x) of the fourth sentence of this Section 2.04 shall be exchangeable for RSNs in certificated form registered in such names as the Depository shall direct in writing. Section 2.05. Interest. (a) Subject to Section 307 of the Original Indenture, clause (b) below and Section 7.04 hereof, interest on the RSNs shall initially be payable quarterly in arrears on February 15, May 15, August 15 and November 15 of each year, commencing on May 15, 2026, and at Maturity (whether at the Stated Maturity, upon Redemption, or otherwise), to the Person in whose name the relevant RSNs are registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such Interest Payment Date except that interest payable at the Stated Maturity or any Redemption Date shall be paid to the Person to whom principal is payable. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months, and with respect to any period less than a full calendar month, on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed per 30-day month.

8 #101990412v1 (b) The RSNs will bear interest initially at the rate of 4.02% per year (the "Coupon Rate") from and including February 26, 2026 to, but excluding, the date the principal amount thereof is paid or made available for payment, or in the event of a Successful Remarketing, the Remarketing Settlement Date. In the event of a Successful Remarketing of the RSNs, the interest rate applicable to the RSNs may be reset by the Remarketing Agent(s) to the applicable Reset Rate with effect from the Remarketing Settlement Date, as set forth in Section 7.03. If the interest rate is so reset, the RSNs will bear interest at the applicable Reset Rate from and including the Remarketing Settlement Date to, but excluding, the date the principal amount thereof is paid or made available for payment. In the event of a Successful Remarketing, following the applicable Remarketing Settlement Date, interest on the RSNs will be payable on a semi-annual basis on February 15 and August 15 of each year. If there is not a Successful Remarketing of the RSNs, the Coupon Rate will not be reset, the Interest Payment Dates shall remain the same and the RSNs shall continue to bear interest at the Coupon Rate. The RSNs shall bear interest, to the extent permitted by law, on any overdue principal and interest at the Coupon Rate, unless a Successful Remarketing shall have occurred, in which case interest on such amounts shall, to the extent permitted by law, accrue at the Reset Rate from and including the Remarketing Settlement Date, compounded on each applicable Interest Payment Date thereafter. Section 2.06. Events of Default. An Event of Default as defined in the Original Indenture shall be an Event of Default with respect to the RSNs, including, without limitation, the default in payment of the Redemption Price on the Redemption Date. In addition, an Event of Default with respect to the RSNs shall occur if the Company fails to pay the Put Price of any RSN on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date after a Holder's Put Right has been exercised pursuant to Section 7.04 (a "Put Right Default"). For the avoidance of doubt, and without prejudice to any other remedies that may be available to the Trustee or the Holders of the RSNs, no breach by the Company of any covenant or obligation under the Original Indenture or the terms of the RSNs shall be an Event of Default except those that are specifically identified as an Event of Default under the Original Indenture or a Put Right Default. Section 2.07. Satisfaction and Discharge. Prior to February 15, 2031, the provisions of Article 7 of the Original Indenture shall not apply to the RSNs. After February 15, 2031, the provisions of Article 7 of the Original Indenture shall be applicable to the RSNs. Section 2.08. No Sinking Fund or Repayment at Option of the Holder. The RSNs are not entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund, and Article Five of the Original Indenture shall not apply to the RSNs. Section 2.09. Increase and Decrease in Pledged Security. In the event that any RSNs underlying Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes with respect to any Corporate Units in global form are to be released from the Pledge following a Termination Event, Collateral Substitution, Cash Settlement, Successful Remarketing, Early Settlement or Fundamental Change Early Settlement pursuant to the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement (a "Released Security"), such release and delivery shall

9 #101990412v1 be evidenced by an endorsement by the Collateral Agent on the RSN held by the Collateral Agent (the "Pledged Security") reflecting a reduction in the principal amount of such Pledged Security equal in amount (the "Reduced Principal Amount") to the principal amount of the Released Security. The Collateral Agent shall confirm any such Reduced Principal Amount by delivering a photocopy of such endorsement made on the Pledged Security evidencing such Reduced Principal Amount to (i) the Trustee at the email address or other address of the Trustee provided for notices to the Trustee in Section 105 of the Original Indenture (or at such other email address or other address as the Trustee shall provide to the Collateral Agent) and (ii) the Company and the Guarantor at the email address or other address of each of the Company and the Guarantor provided for notices to the Company and the Guarantor pursuant to Section 105 of the Original Indenture (or at such other email address or other address as the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, shall provide to the Collateral Agent). Upon receipt of such confirmation, the Company or the Guarantor shall deliver an instruction letter to the Collateral Agent to deliver the Pledged Security (which will be evidenced by the original definitive note held by the Collateral Agent) to the Trustee along with an instruction to coordinate the specified decrease in the Pledged Securities and the corresponding increase in the Global Note in an amount equal to the Reduced Principal Amount in accordance with the procedures of the Depository, and the Trustee shall make an endorsement on such Global Note to reflect such increase. The Trustee shall then promptly return the Pledged Security to the Collateral Agent. Other than the exercise of reasonable care in the handling of the Pledged Security, neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for perfecting, maintaining, monitoring, preserving or protecting the security interest or lien granted under the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement. In the event that an RSN is transferred to the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 3.14 of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement (a "Subjected RSN") in connection with the re-creation of Corporate Units, such transfer shall be evidenced by an endorsement by the Collateral Agent on the Pledged Security held by the Collateral Agent reflecting an increase in the principal amount of such Pledged Security equal in amount (the "Increased Principal Amount") to the principal amount of such Subjected RSN. The Collateral Agent shall confirm any such Increased Principal Amount by delivering a photocopy of such endorsement made on the Pledged Security evidencing such Increased Principal Amount to (i) the Trustee at the email address or other address of the Trustee provided for notices to the Trustee in Section 105 of the Original Indenture (or at such other email address or other address as the Trustee shall provide to the Collateral Agent) and (ii) the Company and the Guarantor at the email address or other address of each of the Company and the Guarantor provided for notices to the Company and the Guarantor pursuant to Section 105 of the Original Indenture (or at such other email address or other address as the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, shall provide to the Collateral Agent). Upon receipt of such confirmation, the Company or the Guarantor shall deliver an instruction letter to the Collateral Agent to deliver the Pledged Security (which will be evidenced by the original definitive note held by the Collateral Agent) to the Trustee along with an instruction to coordinate the specified increase in the Pledged Securities and the corresponding decrease in the Global Note in an amount equal to the Increased Principal Amount in accordance with the procedures of the Depository, and the Trustee shall make an endorsement on such Global Note to reflect such decrease.

10 #101990412v1 The Trustee shall then promptly return the Pledged Security to the Collateral Agent. Other than exercising reasonable care in handling of the Pledged Security, neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for perfecting, maintaining, monitoring, preserving or protecting the security interest or lien granted under the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement. Section 2.10. Ranking. For the avoidance of doubt, the RSNs shall rank on a parity with all Securities of other series issued under the Original Indenture. Section 2.11. Specified Foreign Entity. Each Holder and beneficial owner, by its acquisition of the RSNs (or an interest therein), shall be deemed to have represented, warranted and agreed that it is not a "specified foreign entity" as defined in Section 7701(a)(51)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

The Company may at any time irrevocably waive the right to redeem the RSNs for any specified period (including the remaining term of the RSNs). The Company shall not redeem the RSNs if the RSNs have been accelerated and such acceleration has not been rescinded or unless all accrued and unpaid interest has been paid in full on all outstanding RSNs for all Interest Periods terminating on or prior to the Redemption Date. Following a Successful Remarketing of the RSNs, the RSNs shall cease to be redeemable at the Company's option. Solely with respect to the RSNs, Section 404 of Article Four of the Original Indenture is hereby amended by replacing the phrase "not less than 30 nor more than 60 days" with "not less than 10 days nor more than 60 days," and Section 402 of Article Four of the Original Indenture is hereby amended by replacing the number "45" with "15." Section 3.02. Effect of Redemption. Unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price, on and after the Redemption Date, once notice of Redemption is given and funds are irrevocably deposited, in each case, in accordance with this Supplemental Indenture and Sections 404 and 603 of the Original Indenture, (a) interest shall cease to accrue on the RSNs immediately prior to the close of business on the Redemption Date, (b) the RSNs shall no longer be Outstanding and (c) all rights of the Holders in respect of the RSNs shall terminate and lapse (other than the right to receive any amount owed in connection with a Redemption but without interest on such amount). Section 3.03. No Other Redemption. Except as set forth in this Article 3, the RSNs shall not be redeemable by the Company prior to the Stated Maturity.

13 #101990412v1 Remarketing, of the Guarantor's intent to attempt an Optional Remarketing in the Applicable Remarketing Period, and in all cases, of the proposed Remarketing Dates and the procedures to be followed in each Remarketing, including the procedures to be followed by Holders of Separate RSNs to participate in a Remarketing, the applicable procedures for Holders of Corporate Units to create Treasury Units or Holders of Treasury Units to recreate Corporate Units, as the case may be, the applicable procedures for Holders of Corporate Units to effect an Early Settlement and, in the case of a Final Remarketing, applicable procedures to effect a Cash Settlement and the applicable procedures that must be followed by a Holder of Separate RSNs if such Holder wishes to exercise its Put Right or by a Holder of Corporate Units if such Holder elects not to exercise its Put Right. (b) At any time after notice is given by the Guarantor in accordance with Section 7.01(a), other than during a Blackout Period, each Holder of Separate RSNs may elect to have Separate RSNs held by such Holder remarketed in the applicable Remarketing for which such notice was given. A Holder making such an election must, pursuant to the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, notify the Custodial Agent and deliver such Separate RSNs to the Custodial Agent in accordance with the provisions set forth in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement. Any such notice and delivery may not be conditioned upon the level at which the Reset Rate is established in the Remarketing. Any such notice and delivery may be withdrawn, other than during a Blackout Period, by notifying the Custodial Agent on or prior to 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day immediately preceding the first day of the Applicable Remarketing Period in accordance with the provisions set forth in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement. Any such notice and delivery not withdrawn by such time will be irrevocable with respect to each Remarketing to occur during the Applicable Remarketing Period. Pursuant to Section 5.02 of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, by (or, in the case of a Final Remarketing, promptly after) 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the first day of the Applicable Remarketing Period, the Custodial Agent, based on the notices and deliveries received by it prior to such time, shall notify the Remarketing Agent(s) of the aggregate principal amount of Separate RSNs surrendered for Remarketing. Pursuant and subject to Section 5.02 of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, RSNs that underlie Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes included in Corporate Units will be deemed surrendered for Remarketing (unless, in the case of a Final Remarketing, the Holder thereof has duly notified the Purchase Contract Agent of its intent to effect a Cash Settlement and timely paid the Purchase Price) and will be remarketed in accordance with the terms of the Remarketing Agreement and the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement. (c) The right of each Holder of Remarketed RSNs to have such RSNs remarketed on any Remarketing Date and sold on any related Remarketing Settlement Date, shall be subject to the conditions that (i)(A) the Remarketing Agent(s) conduct any Optional Remarketing or (B) in the case of a Final Remarketing, that no Successful Optional Remarketing has occurred pursuant to the terms of the Remarketing Agreement and the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, (ii) a Termination Event has not occurred prior to such Remarketing Date, (iii) the Remarketing Agent(s) are able to find a

(d) Neither the Trustee, the Company, the Guarantor nor the Remarketing Agent(s) shall be obligated in any case to provide funds to make payment upon surrender of RSNs for Remarketing. Section 7.02. Remarketing. (a) Unless a Termination Event has occurred prior to such date, if the Guarantor elects to conduct an Optional Remarketing during an Optional Remarketing Period selected by the Guarantor pursuant to the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, the Remarketing Agent(s) shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to remarket the Remarketed RSNs at the portion of the applicable Remarketing Price corresponding to the RSNs as provided in the Remarketing Agreement. (b) In the case there is no Successful Optional Remarketing during an Optional Remarketing Period, either because the Remarketing Agent(s) is unable to remarket the RSNs at the portion of the applicable Remarketing Price corresponding to the RSNs or because a condition precedent to the Remarketing has not been satisfied, and unless a Termination Event has occurred prior to such date, during the Final Remarketing Period, the Remarketing Agent(s) shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to remarket the Remarketed RSNs at the portion of the applicable Remarketing Price corresponding to the RSNs as provided in the Remarketing Agreement. The Remarketing on any Remarketing Date will be considered successful if the resulting proceeds are at least equal to the portion of the applicable Remarketing Price corresponding to the RSNs. The Guarantor has the right to postpone any Optional Remarketing for any reason in its sole and absolute discretion. The Guarantor has the right to postpone the Final Remarketing in its sole and absolute discretion on any day prior to the last three Business Days of the Final Remarketing Period. (c) The Company and the Guarantor may only remarket the RSNs as fixed-rate notes. Section 7.03. Reset Rate. (a) In connection with each Remarketing, in order to remarket the RSNs, the Remarketing Agent(s), in consultation with the Company and the Guarantor, may reset the Coupon Rate on the RSNs either upward or downward, as provided in the Remarketing Agreement, to the applicable Reset Rate. (b) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no Reset Rate shall in any event exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. (c) In the event of a Successful Remarketing, the Coupon Rate shall be reset on the Remarketing Settlement Date to the applicable Reset Rate as determined by the Remarketing Agent(s), in consultation with the Company and the Guarantor, under the Remarketing Agreement, and the Company shall (1) notify the Trustee by an Officer's Certificate delivered to the Trustee and (2) request the Depository to notify its Depository

Upon a Successful Remarketing, if the Coupon Rate for the RSNs is reset, the Reset Rate shall apply to all RSNs that are Outstanding, whether or not the Holders of all such Outstanding RSNs participated in such Remarketing. (d) If a reset of the Coupon Rate of the RSNs occurs pursuant to a Successful Optional Remarketing, the Reset Rate of the RSNs shall be the interest rate determined by the Remarketing Agent(s), in consultation with the Company and the Guarantor, pursuant to the Remarketing Agreement, as the interest rate that the RSNs should bear in order for the Remarketing proceeds to equal at least 100% of the sum of the portion of the Treasury Portfolio Purchase Price corresponding to the portion of the Treasury Portfolio relating to the RSNs plus the portion of the Separate RSNs Purchase Price described in clause (i) of such definition, if any. (e) If a reset of the Coupon Rate of the RSNs occurs pursuant to a Successful Final Remarketing, the Reset Rate shall be the interest rate determined by the Remarketing Agent(s), in consultation with the Company and the Guarantor, pursuant to the Remarketing Agreement, as the rate the RSNs should bear in order for the Remarketing proceeds in respect of the RSNs being remarketed to equal at least 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the RSNs being remarketed. (f) In the event of a Failed Final Remarketing, or if no Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes are included in Corporate Units (or the Holder of each such Corporate Unit has duly notified the Purchase Contract Agent of its intent to effect a Cash Settlement and timely paid the Purchase Price) and none of the Holders of the Separate RSNs elect to have their RSNs remarketed in any Remarketing, the applicable interest rate on the RSNs will not be reset and will continue to be the Coupon Rate. (g) If there is a Failed Remarketing, the Company shall cause a notice of the unsuccessful Remarketing to be published before 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day following the Applicable Remarketing Period. This notice shall be validly published by furnishing such information on a Current Report on Form 8-K or by making a timely release to any appropriate news agency, including Bloomberg Business News and the Dow Jones News Service. Section 7.04. Modification of Terms in Connection with a Successful Remarketing. Following any Successful Remarketing of the RSNs: (a) the Coupon Rate on the RSNs may be reset, pursuant to Section 7.03; (b) interest will be payable on the RSNs semi-annually, on February 15 and August 15 of each year, as set forth in the definition of Interest Payment Date herein; and (c) the RSNs will cease to be redeemable at the Company's option, and the provisions of Article 3 herein and Article Four of the Original Indenture will no longer apply to the RSNs.

16 #101990412v1 Any such modifications shall take effect only if there is a Successful Remarketing. Any such modifications shall become effective on the Remarketing Settlement Date, without the consent of Holders, and shall apply to all RSNs, whether or not included in such Successful Remarketing. Section 7.05. Put Right. (a) If there has not been a Successful Remarketing on or prior to the last day of the Final Remarketing Period, Holders of RSNs will, subject to this Section 7.05, have the right (the "Put Right") to require the Company to purchase such RSNs for cash on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, at a price per RSN to be purchased equal to the principal amount of the applicable RSN (the "Put Price"). (b) The Put Right of a Holder of a Separate RSN shall only be exercisable upon delivery of a notice substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B hereto (or, in the case of Global Notes, in accordance with applicable procedures of the Depository), together with such Holder's Separate RSNs, to the Trustee by such Holder at or prior to 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date. Such Put Right for a Holder of a Separate RSN may be exercised with respect to all or a portion of such Holder's Separate RSNs (so long as such portion is an integral multiple of $1,000 principal amount). Prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee immediately available funds in an amount sufficient to pay, on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, the aggregate Put Price of all Separate RSNs with respect to which a Holder has exercised a Put Right. In exchange for any Separate RSNs surrendered pursuant to the Put Right, the Trustee shall then distribute such amount to the Holders of such Separate RSNs. (c) If there has not been a Successful Remarketing on or prior to the last day of the Final Remarketing Period, the Put Right of Holders with respect to RSNs relating to Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes included in Corporate Units will be deemed to be automatically exercised in accordance with Section 5.02(b) of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement (unless any such Holder has duly notified the Purchase Contract Agent and the Trustee of its intent to effect a Cash Settlement and timely paid the Purchase Price). (d) RSNs purchased pursuant to the Put Right shall be cancelled by the Trustee. ARTICLE 8 TAX TREATMENT Section 8.01. Tax Treatment. The Company and the Guarantor agree, and by acceptance of a Corporate Unit or a Separate RSN, each Holder (or beneficial owner) will be deemed to have agreed (unless otherwise required by any taxing authority) for U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes (a) to treat each beneficial owner of a Corporate Unit as the owner, separately, of each of the applicable stock purchase contract and the applicable interests in the Collateral, including the RSNs underlying the Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes constituting a part of such Corporate Unit, (b) to treat the RSNs as indebtedness for all tax purposes, (c) with respect to Holders (or beneficial owners) who purchase Corporate Units upon issuance, to allocate, as of the

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Original Indenture, notices to Holders of Global Notes shall be given in accordance with the Depository's applicable policies and procedures. (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Original Indenture, the Trustee shall have the right to accept and act upon instructions, including funds transfer instructions ("Instructions") given pursuant to this Supplemental Indenture No. 19 and delivered using Electronic Means; provided, however, that the Company and/or the Guarantor, as applicable, shall provide to the Trustee an incumbency certificate listing officers with the authority to provide such Instructions ("Authorized Officers") and containing specimen signatures of such Authorized Officers, which incumbency certificate shall be amended by the Company and/or the Guarantor, as applicable, whenever a person is to be added or deleted from the listing. If the Company and/or the Guarantor, as applicable, elects to give the Trustee Instructions using Electronic Means and the Trustee in its discretion elects to act upon such Instructions, the Trustee's understanding of such Instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Company and the Guarantor understand and agree that the Trustee cannot determine the identity of the actual sender of such Instructions and that the Trustee shall conclusively presume that directions that purport to have been sent by an Authorized Officer listed on the incumbency certificate provided to the Trustee have been sent by such Authorized Officer. The Company and the Guarantor shall be responsible for ensuring that only Authorized Officers transmit such Instructions to the Trustee and that the Company, the Guarantor and all Authorized Officers are solely responsible to safeguard the use and confidentiality of applicable user and authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys upon receipt by the Company and/or the Guarantor, as applicable. The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee's reliance upon and compliance with such Instructions notwithstanding such directions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. The Company and the Guarantor agree: (i) to assume all risks arising out of the use of Electronic Means to submit Instructions to the Trustee, including without limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized Instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties; (ii) that it is fully informed of the protections and risks associated with the various methods of transmitting Instructions to the Trustee and that there may be more secure methods of transmitting Instructions than the method(s) selected by the Company and/or the Guarantor, as applicable; (iii) that the security procedures (if any) to be followed in connection with its transmission of Instructions provide to it a commercially reasonable degree of protection in light of its particular needs and circumstances; and (iv) to notify the Trustee immediately upon learning of any compromise or unauthorized use of the security procedures.

(formerly known as The Chase Manhattan Bank)) (herein called the "Trustee," which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), as amended and supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture No. 19 dated as of February 26, 2026, among the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee (the "Supplemental Indenture No. 19" and, together with the Original Indenture, the "Indenture"), to which Indenture reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and the Holders of the RSNs and of the terms upon which the RSNs are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This RSN is one of the series designated on the face hereof, limited in aggregate principal amount to $575,000,000. All terms used in this RSN that are defined in the Indenture shall have the meaning assigned to them in the Indenture. The Company may redeem the RSNs pursuant to Article 3 of the Supplemental Indenture No. 19. Pursuant to Section 7.05 of the Supplemental Indenture No. 19, if there has not been a Successful Remarketing prior to the end of the Final Remarketing Period, Holders of RSNs will have the right to require the Company to purchase such RSNs on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date. The RSNs are not entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund. If an Event of Default with respect to the RSNs shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the RSNs may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. Prior to February 15, 2031, the provisions of Section 701 of the Original Indenture shall not apply to the RSNs. The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the entry into one or more supplemental indentures for purposes of amending or modifying the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the RSNs under the Indenture or the Supplemental Indenture No. 19 at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the RSNs at the time Outstanding of all series affected (except as otherwise provided in Section 1202 of the Original Indenture and Section 6.01 of the Supplemental Indenture No. 19). The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the RSNs at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all RSNs, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and

Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this RSN shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this RSN and of any RSN issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this RSN. RSNs are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof, except as provided in Section 2.03 of the Supplemental Indenture No. 19. Except as provided in Section 2.04 of the Supplemental Indenture No. 19, the RSNs shall be issued in fully registered, certificated form, bearing identical terms. The transfer of such RSNs will be registrable, and such RSNs will be exchangeable for RSNs of a like aggregate principal amount bearing identical terms and provisions, at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose.

Upon the creation of Treasury Units, or the re-creation of Corporate Units or in any other case where the Collateral Agent releases RSNs underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes, an appropriate annotation shall be made on the Schedule of Increases or Decreases in Note on the Global Notes held by the Depository and on the Pledged Security held by the Collateral Agent. Except upon recreation of Corporate Units, RSNs represented by the Global Notes will be exchangeable for RSNs in certificated form only (x) if the Depository (A) has notified the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depository for the Global Notes or (B) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor depository that is a clearing agency registered under Section 17A of the Exchange Act is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after such notice or cessation, or (y) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or any other event that after notice or lapse of time, would constitute an Event of Default with respect to the RSNs and any Beneficial Owner of a Corporate Unit or beneficial owner of a Global Note requests that its beneficial interest be exchanged for an RSN in certificated form; provided, subject to Section 2.03, that the RSNs in certificated form so issued in exchange for the Global Notes shall be in denominations of $1,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000 above that amount and shall be of like aggregate principal amount and tenor as the portion of the Global Note to be exchanged. Except as provided above, owners of beneficial interest in a Global Note will not be entitled to receive physical delivery of RSNs in certificated form and will not be considered the Holders thereof for any purpose under the Indenture. Unless and until such Global Note is exchanged for RSNs in certificated form, Global Notes may be transferred, in whole but not in part, and any payments on the RSNs shall be made, only to the Depository or a nominee of the Depository, or to a successor Depository selected or approved by the Company or to a nominee of such successor Depository. Any Global Note that is exchangeable pursuant to clause (x) of the fourth sentence of this Section 2.04 shall be exchangeable for RSNs in certificated form registered in such names as the Depository shall direct in writing.

Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months, and with respect to any period less than a full calendar month, on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed per 30-day month.

8 #101990413v1 (b) The RSNs will bear interest initially at the rate of 4.02% per year (the "Coupon Rate") from and including February 26, 2026 to, but excluding, the date the principal amount thereof is paid or made available for payment, or in the event of a Successful Remarketing, the Remarketing Settlement Date. In the event of a Successful Remarketing of the RSNs, the interest rate applicable to the RSNs may be reset by the Remarketing Agent(s) to the applicable Reset Rate with effect from the Remarketing Settlement Date, as set forth in Section 7.03. If the interest rate is so reset, the RSNs will bear interest at the applicable Reset Rate from and including the Remarketing Settlement Date to, but excluding, the date the principal amount thereof is paid or made available for payment. In the event of a Successful Remarketing, following the applicable Remarketing Settlement Date, interest on the RSNs will be payable on a semi-annual basis on February 15 and August 15 of each year.

An Event of Default as defined in the Original Indenture shall be an Event of Default with respect to the RSNs, including, without limitation, the default in payment of the Redemption Price on the Redemption Date. In addition, an Event of Default with respect to the RSNs shall occur if the Company fails to pay the Put Price of any RSN on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date after a Holder's Put Right has been exercised pursuant to Section 7.04 (a "Put Right Default"). For the avoidance of doubt, and without prejudice to any other remedies that may be available to the Trustee or the Holders of the RSNs, no breach by the Company of any covenant or obligation under the Original Indenture or the terms of the RSNs shall be an Event of Default except those that are specifically identified as an Event of Default under the Original Indenture or a Put Right Default. Section 2.07. Satisfaction and Discharge. Prior to February 15, 2031, the provisions of Article 7 of the Original Indenture shall not apply to the RSNs. After February 15, 2031, the provisions of Article 7 of the Original Indenture shall be applicable to the RSNs. Section 2.08. No Sinking Fund or Repayment at Option of the Holder.

The Company may at any time irrevocably waive the right to redeem the RSNs for any specified period (including the remaining term of the RSNs). The Company shall not redeem the RSNs if the RSNs have been accelerated and such acceleration has not been rescinded or unless all accrued and unpaid interest has been paid in full on all outstanding RSNs for all Interest Periods terminating on or prior to the Redemption Date. Following a Successful Remarketing of the RSNs, the RSNs shall cease to be redeemable at the Company's option. Solely with respect to the RSNs, Section 404 of Article Four of the Original Indenture is hereby amended by replacing the phrase "not less than 30 nor more than 60 days" with "not less than 10 days nor more than 60 days," and Section 402 of Article Four of the Original Indenture is hereby amended by replacing the number "45" with "15."

(b) At any time after notice is given by the Guarantor in accordance with Section 7.01(a), other than during a Blackout Period, each Holder of Separate RSNs may elect to have Separate RSNs held by such Holder remarketed in the applicable Remarketing for which such notice was given. A Holder making such an election must, pursuant to the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, notify the Custodial Agent and deliver such Separate RSNs to the Custodial Agent in accordance with the provisions set forth in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement. Any such notice and delivery may not be conditioned upon the level at which the Reset Rate is established in the Remarketing. Any such notice and delivery may be withdrawn, other than during a Blackout Period, by notifying the Custodial Agent on or prior to 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day immediately preceding the first day of the Applicable Remarketing Period in accordance with the provisions set forth in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement. Any such notice and delivery not withdrawn by such time will be irrevocable with respect to each Remarketing to occur during the Applicable Remarketing Period. Pursuant to Section 5.02 of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, by (or, in the case of a Final Remarketing, promptly after) 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the first day of the Applicable Remarketing Period, the Custodial Agent, based on the notices and deliveries received by it prior to such time, shall notify the Remarketing Agent(s) of the aggregate principal amount of Separate RSNs surrendered for Remarketing. Pursuant and subject to Section 5.02 of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, RSNs that underlie Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes included in Corporate Units will be deemed surrendered for Remarketing (unless, in the case of a Final Remarketing, the Holder thereof has duly notified the Purchase Contract Agent of its intent to effect a Cash Settlement and timely paid the Purchase Price) and will be remarketed in accordance with the terms of the Remarketing Agreement and the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement. (c) The right of each Holder of Remarketed RSNs to have such RSNs remarketed on any Remarketing Date and sold on any related Remarketing Settlement Date, shall be subject to the conditions that (i)(A) the Remarketing Agent(s) conduct any Optional Remarketing or (B) in the case of a Final Remarketing, that no Successful Optional Remarketing has occurred pursuant to the terms of the Remarketing Agreement and the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, (ii) a Termination Event has not occurred prior to such Remarketing Date, (iii) the Remarketing Agent(s) are able to find a

(d) Neither the Trustee, the Company, the Guarantor nor the Remarketing Agent(s) shall be obligated in any case to provide funds to make payment upon surrender of RSNs for Remarketing. Section 7.02. Remarketing. (a) Unless a Termination Event has occurred prior to such date, if the Guarantor elects to conduct an Optional Remarketing during an Optional Remarketing Period selected by the Guarantor pursuant to the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, the Remarketing Agent(s) shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to remarket the Remarketed RSNs at the portion of the applicable Remarketing Price corresponding to the RSNs as provided in the Remarketing Agreement. (b) In the case there is no Successful Optional Remarketing during an Optional Remarketing Period, either because the Remarketing Agent(s) is unable to remarket the RSNs at the portion of the applicable Remarketing Price corresponding to the RSNs or because a condition precedent to the Remarketing has not been satisfied, and unless a Termination Event has occurred prior to such date, during the Final Remarketing Period, the Remarketing Agent(s) shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to remarket the Remarketed RSNs at the portion of the applicable Remarketing Price corresponding to the RSNs as provided in the Remarketing Agreement. The Remarketing on any Remarketing Date will be considered successful if the resulting proceeds are at least equal to the portion of the applicable Remarketing Price corresponding to the RSNs. The Guarantor has the right to postpone any Optional Remarketing for any reason in its sole and absolute discretion. The Guarantor has the right to postpone the Final Remarketing in its sole and absolute discretion on any day prior to the last three Business Days of the Final Remarketing Period.

(b) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no Reset Rate shall in any event exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. (c) In the event of a Successful Remarketing, the Coupon Rate shall be reset on the Remarketing Settlement Date to the applicable Reset Rate as determined by the Remarketing Agent(s), in consultation with the Company and the Guarantor, under the Remarketing Agreement, and the Company shall (1) notify the Trustee by an Officer's Certificate delivered to the Trustee and (2) request the Depository to notify its Depository

Upon a Successful Remarketing, if the Coupon Rate for the RSNs is reset, the Reset Rate shall apply to all RSNs that are Outstanding, whether or not the Holders of all such Outstanding RSNs participated in such Remarketing. (d) If a reset of the Coupon Rate of the RSNs occurs pursuant to a Successful Optional Remarketing, the Reset Rate of the RSNs shall be the interest rate determined by the Remarketing Agent(s), in consultation with the Company and the Guarantor, pursuant to the Remarketing Agreement, as the interest rate that the RSNs should bear in order for the Remarketing proceeds to equal at least 100% of the sum of the portion of the Treasury Portfolio Purchase Price corresponding to the portion of the Treasury Portfolio relating to the RSNs plus the portion of the Separate RSNs Purchase Price described in clause (ii) of such definition, if any. (e) If a reset of the Coupon Rate of the RSNs occurs pursuant to a Successful Final Remarketing, the Reset Rate shall be the interest rate determined by the Remarketing Agent(s), in consultation with the Company and the Guarantor, pursuant to the Remarketing Agreement, as the rate the RSNs should bear in order for the Remarketing proceeds in respect of the RSNs being remarketed to equal at least 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the RSNs being remarketed. (f) In the event of a Failed Final Remarketing, or if no Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes are included in Corporate Units (or the Holder of each such Corporate Unit has duly notified the Purchase Contract Agent of its intent to effect a Cash Settlement and timely paid the Purchase Price) and none of the Holders of the Separate RSNs elect to have their RSNs remarketed in any Remarketing, the applicable interest rate on the RSNs will not be reset and will continue to be the Coupon Rate. (g) If there is a Failed Remarketing, the Company shall cause a notice of the unsuccessful Remarketing to be published before 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day following the Applicable Remarketing Period. This notice shall be validly published by furnishing such information on a Current Report on Form 8-K or by making a timely release to any appropriate news agency, including Bloomberg Business News and the Dow Jones News Service. Section 7.04. Modification of Terms in Connection with a Successful Remarketing. Following any Successful Remarketing of the RSNs: (a) the Coupon Rate on the RSNs may be reset, pursuant to Section 7.03; (b) interest will be payable on the RSNs semi-annually, on February 15 and August 15 of each year, as set forth in the definition of Interest Payment Date herein; and (c) the RSNs will cease to be redeemable at the Company's option, and the provisions of Article 3 herein and Article Four of the Original Indenture will no longer apply to the RSNs.

Any such modifications shall become effective on the Remarketing Settlement Date, without the consent of Holders, and shall apply to all RSNs, whether or not included in such Successful Remarketing. Section 7.05. Put Right. (a) If there has not been a Successful Remarketing on or prior to the last day of the Final Remarketing Period, Holders of RSNs will, subject to this Section 7.05, have the right (the "Put Right") to require the Company to purchase such RSNs for cash on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, at a price per RSN to be purchased equal to the principal amount of the applicable RSN (the "Put Price"). (b) The Put Right of a Holder of a Separate RSN shall only be exercisable upon delivery of a notice substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B hereto (or, in the case of Global Notes, in accordance with applicable procedures of the Depository), together with such Holder's Separate RSNs, to the Trustee by such Holder at or prior to 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date. Such Put Right for a Holder of a Separate RSN may be exercised with respect to all or a portion of such Holder's Separate RSNs (so long as such portion is an integral multiple of $1,000 principal amount). Prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee immediately available funds in an amount sufficient to pay, on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, the aggregate Put Price of all Separate RSNs with respect to which a Holder has exercised a Put Right. In exchange for any Separate RSNs surrendered pursuant to the Put Right, the Trustee shall then distribute such amount to the Holders of such Separate RSNs. (c) If there has not been a Successful Remarketing on or prior to the last day of the Final Remarketing Period, the Put Right of Holders with respect to RSNs relating to Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes included in Corporate Units will be deemed to be automatically exercised in accordance with Section 5.02(b) of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement (unless any such Holder has duly notified the Purchase Contract Agent and the Trustee of its intent to effect a Cash Settlement and timely paid the Purchase Price). (d) RSNs purchased pursuant to the Put Right shall be cancelled by the Trustee. ARTICLE 8 TAX TREATMENT Section 8.01. Tax Treatment. The Company and the Guarantor agree, and by acceptance of a Corporate Unit or a Separate RSN, each Holder (or beneficial owner) will be deemed to have agreed (unless otherwise required by any taxing authority) for U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes (a) to treat each beneficial owner of a Corporate Unit as the owner, separately, of each of the applicable stock purchase contract and the applicable interests in the Collateral, including the RSNs underlying the Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes constituting a part of such Corporate Unit, (b) to treat the RSNs as indebtedness for all tax purposes, (c) with respect to Holders (or beneficial owners) who purchase Corporate Units upon issuance, to allocate, as of the

If the Company and/or the Guarantor, as applicable, elects to give the Trustee Instructions using Electronic Means and the Trustee in its discretion elects to act upon such Instructions, the Trustee's understanding of such Instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Company and the Guarantor understand and agree that the Trustee cannot determine the identity of the actual sender of such Instructions and that the Trustee shall conclusively presume that directions that purport to have been sent by an Authorized Officer listed on the incumbency certificate provided to the Trustee have been sent by such Authorized Officer. The Company and the Guarantor shall be responsible for ensuring that only Authorized Officers transmit such Instructions to the Trustee and that the Company, the Guarantor and all Authorized Officers are solely responsible to safeguard the use and confidentiality of applicable user and authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys upon receipt by the Company and/or the Guarantor, as applicable.

26 #101893793v14 Company to the Purchase Contract Agent to take any action in accordance with any provision of this Agreement, the Company shall furnish to the Purchase Contract Agent an Officer's Certificate stating that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Agreement relating to the proposed action have been complied with and an Opinion of Counsel stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all such conditions precedent, if any, have been complied with. Every certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in this Agreement (other than the Officer's Certificate provided for in Section 10.05) shall include: (i) a statement that each individual signing such certificate or opinion has read such condition or covenant and the definitions herein relating thereto; (ii) a statement that, in the opinion of each such individual, he or she has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable such individual to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such condition or covenant has been complied with; and (iii) a statement as to whether, in the opinion of each such individual, such condition or covenant has been complied with. Section 1.03. Form of Documents Delivered to Purchase Contract Agent. In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents. Any certificate or opinion of an officer of the Company may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which its certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate or Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Company unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous. Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Agreement, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument. Section 1.04. Acts of Holders; Record Dates. (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Agreement to be given or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an

------

![](ppl02262026ex46034.jpg)

27 #101893793v14 agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Purchase Contract Agent and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Agreement and (subject to Section 7.01) conclusive in favor of the Purchase Contract Agent and the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section. (b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved in any manner that the Purchase Contract Agent deems sufficient. (c) The ownership of Units shall be proved by the Security Register. (d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Unit shall bind every future Holder of the same Unit and the Holder of every Certificate evidencing such Unit issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Purchase Contract Agent or the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Certificate. (e) The Company may set any date as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Units entitled to give, make or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Agreement to be given, made or taken by Holders. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of the Outstanding Corporate Units and the Outstanding Treasury Units, as the case may be, on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to take the relevant action with respect to the Corporate Units or the Treasury Units, as the case may be, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken prior to or on the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite number of Outstanding Units on such record date. Nothing contained in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Company from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and be of no effect), and nothing contained in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite number of Outstanding Units on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Company, at its own expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Purchase Contract Agent in writing and to each Holder in the manner set forth in Section 1.06. With respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section 1.04(e), the Company may designate any date as the "Expiration Date" and from time to time may change the

------

![](ppl02262026ex46035.jpg)

28 #101893793v14 Expiration Date to any later day; provided that no such change shall be effective unless notice of the proposed new Expiration Date is given to the Purchase Contract Agent in writing, and to each Holder in the manner set forth in Section 1.06 prior to or on the existing Expiration Date. If an Expiration Date is not designated with respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the Company shall be deemed to have initially designated the 180th day after such record date as the Expiration Date with respect thereto, subject to its right to change the Expiration Date as provided in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Expiration Date shall be later than the 180th day after the applicable record date. Section 1.05. Notices. All notices, requests, consents and other communications provided for herein (including, without limitation, any modifications of, or waivers or consents under, this Agreement) shall be given or made in writing (including, without limitation, by email) mailed or delivered to the intended recipient at the "Address for Notices" specified below its name on the signature pages hereof or, as to any party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a notice to the other parties. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all such communications shall be deemed to have been duly given when transmitted by email or other electronic methods or personally delivered or mailed by first-class mail (registered or certified, return receipt requested) or overnight air courier guaranteeing next day delivery. The Purchase Contract Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Intermediary (collectively, the "Agent") shall have the right to accept and act upon instructions, including funds transfer instructions ("Instructions") given pursuant to this Agreement and delivered using Electronic Means; provided, however, that the Company shall provide to the Agent an incumbency certificate listing officers with the authority to provide such Instructions ("Authorized Officers") and containing specimen signatures of such Authorized Officers, which incumbency certificate shall be amended by the Company whenever a person is to be added or deleted from the listing. If the Company elects to give the Agent Instructions using Electronic Means and the Agent in its discretion elects to act upon such Instructions, the Agent's understanding of such Instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Company understands and agrees that the Agent cannot determine the identity of the actual sender of such Instructions and that the Agent shall conclusively presume that directions that purport to have been sent by an Authorized Officer listed on the incumbency certificate provided to the Agent have been sent by such Authorized Officer. The Company shall be responsible for ensuring that only Authorized Officers transmit such Instructions to the Agent and that the Company and all Authorized Officers are solely responsible to safeguard the use and confidentiality of applicable user and authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys upon receipt by the Company. The Agent shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Agent's reliance upon and compliance with such Instructions notwithstanding such directions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. The Company agrees: (i) to assume all risks arising out of the use of Electronic Means to submit Instructions to the Agent, including without limitation the risk of the Agent acting on unauthorized Instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties; (ii) that it is fully informed of the protections and risks associated with the various methods of transmitting Instructions to the Agent and that there may be

------

![](ppl02262026ex46036.jpg)

29 #101893793v14 more secure methods of transmitting Instructions than the method(s) selected by the Company, as applicable; (iii) that the security procedures (if any) to be followed in connection with its transmission of Instructions provide to it a commercially reasonable degree of protection in light of its particular needs and circumstances; and (iv) to notify the Agent immediately upon learning of any compromise or unauthorized use of the security procedures. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any Certificate, where this Agreement or any Certificate provides for notice of any event or any other communication to a Holder of a Global Certificate (whether by mail or otherwise), such notice shall be sufficiently given if given to the Depository (or its designee) pursuant to the standing instructions from the Depository or its designee, including by email in accordance with accepted practices at the Depository. The Purchase Contract Agent (if other than the Trustee) shall send to the Trustee at the following address a copy of any notices in the form of Exhibits C, D, E, F, H, J, M, N or O it sends or receives: The Bank of New York Mellon 500 Ross Street, 12th Floor Pittsburgh, PA 15262 Attn: Corporate Trust Administration Section 1.06. Notice to Holders; Waiver. Where this Agreement provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event, at its address as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. Where this Agreement provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Purchase Contract Agent, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver. In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Purchase Contract Agent shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder. Section 1.07. Effect of Headings and **Table of Contents**. The Article and Section headings herein and the **Table of Contents** are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

The Company, the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent, the Securities Intermediary and the Purchase Contract Agent irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection which they may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

The exchange of copies of this Agreement and of signature pages by PDF transmission shall constitute effective execution and delivery of this Agreement as to the parties hereto and may be used in lieu of the original Agreement for all purposes. Signatures of the parties hereto transmitted by PDF shall be deemed to be their original signatures for all purposes. Counterparts may be delivered via electronic mail (including any electronic signature covered by the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, the Electronic Signatures and Records Act or other applicable law, e.g., www.docusign.com) or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes. Section 1.14. Inspection of Agreement.

The Certificates shall be issuable only in registered form (which, for the avoidance of doubt, in the case of Global Certificates, shall be registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee) and only in denominations of a single Corporate Unit or Treasury Unit and any integral multiple thereof. Section 3.02. Rights and Obligations Evidenced by the Certificates. Each Corporate Units Certificate shall evidence the number of Corporate Units specified therein, with each such Corporate Unit representing (1) the ownership by the Holder thereof of an Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes or an Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio, as the case may be, subject to the Pledge of such Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes or the Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio (as specified in clause (i) of the definition of Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio), as the case may be, by such Holder pursuant to this Agreement, and (2) the rights and obligations of the Holder thereof and the Company under one Purchase Contract. The Purchase Contract Agent is hereby authorized, as attorney-in-fact for, and on behalf of, the Holder of each Corporate Unit, to pledge, pursuant to Article XI, the Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes or the portion of the Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio (as specified in clause (i) of the definition of Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio) forming a part of such Corporate Unit, to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Company, and to grant to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Company, a security interest in the right, title and interest of such Holder in such Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes or portion of the Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio (as specified in clause (i) of the definition of Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio) to secure the Obligations of the Holder under each Purchase Contract to purchase shares of Common Stock.

34 #101893793v14 such Treasury Unit representing (1) the ownership by the Holder thereof of a 1/20 undivided beneficial ownership interest in a Treasury Security with a principal amount at maturity equal to $1,000, subject to the Pledge of such interest by such Holder pursuant to this Agreement, and (2) the rights and obligations of the Holder thereof and the Company under one Purchase Contract. The Purchase Contract Agent is hereby authorized, as attorney-in-fact for, and on behalf of, the Holder of each Treasury Unit, to pledge, pursuant to Article XI, such Holder's interest in the Treasury Security forming a part of such Treasury Unit to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Company, and to grant to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Company, a security interest in the right, title and interest of such Holder in such Treasury Security to secure the Obligations of the Holder under each Purchase Contract to purchase shares of Common Stock. Prior to the purchase and delivery of shares of Common Stock under each Purchase Contract, such Purchase Contract shall not entitle the Holder of a Unit to any of the rights of a holder of shares of Common Stock, including, without limitation, the right to vote or receive any dividends or other payments or distributions or to consent or to receive notice as a stockholder in respect of the meetings of stockholders or for the election of directors of the Company or for any other matter, or any other rights whatsoever as a stockholder of the Company. Section 3.03. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.

The Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Company by an Authorized Officer of the Company. The signature of any such Authorized Officer on the Certificates may be manual or facsimile. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such Certificates. No Purchase Contract evidenced by a Certificate shall be valid until such Certificate has been executed on behalf of the Holder by the manual or electronic signature of an authorized signatory of the Purchase Contract Agent, as such Holder's attorney-in-fact. Such signature by an authorized signatory of the Purchase Contract Agent shall be conclusive evidence that the Holder of such Certificate has entered into the Purchase Contracts evidenced by such Certificate. Each Certificate shall be dated the date of its authentication.

------

![](ppl02262026ex46042.jpg)

35 #101893793v14 No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by an authorized signatory of the Purchase Contract Agent by manual or electronic signature, and such certificate of authentication upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. Section 3.04. Temporary Certificates. Pending the preparation of definitive Certificates, the Company may execute and deliver to the Purchase Contract Agent, and the Purchase Contract Agent shall authenticate, execute on behalf of the Holders, and deliver, in lieu of such definitive Certificates, temporary Certificates which are in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A or Exhibit B, as the case may be, with such letters, numbers or other marks of identification or designation and such legends or endorsements printed, lithographed or engraved thereon as may be required by the rules of any securities exchange on which the Corporate Units or the Treasury Units, as the case may be, are listed, or as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the officers of the Company executing such Certificates, as evidenced by their execution of the Certificates. If temporary Certificates are issued, the Company will cause definitive Certificates to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Certificates, the temporary Certificates shall be exchangeable for definitive Certificates upon surrender of the temporary Certificates at the Corporate Trust Office of the Purchase Contract Agent or its agent, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, at the expense of the Company and without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Certificates, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Purchase Contract Agent, and the Purchase Contract Agent shall authenticate, execute on behalf of the Holder, and deliver in exchange therefor, one or more definitive Certificates of like tenor and denominations and evidencing a like number of Units as the temporary Certificate or Certificates so surrendered. Until so exchanged, the temporary Certificates shall in all respects evidence the same benefits and the same obligations with respect to the Units evidenced thereby as definitive Certificates. Section 3.05. Registration; Registration of Transfer and Exchange. The Purchase Contract Agent shall keep at the Corporate Trust Office a register (the "Security Register") in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Purchase Contract Agent shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers of Certificates (the Purchase Contract Agent, in such capacity, the "Securities Registrar"). The Securities Registrar shall record separately the registration and transfer of the Certificates evidencing Corporate Units and Treasury Units. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office of the Purchase Contract Agent or its agent in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Purchase Contract Agent, and the Purchase Contract Agent shall authenticate, execute on behalf of the designated transferee or transferees, and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or

------

![](ppl02262026ex46043.jpg)

36 #101893793v14 more new Certificates of any authorized denominations, of like tenor, and evidencing a like number of Corporate Units or Treasury Units, as the case may be. At the option of the Holder, Certificates may be exchanged for other Certificates, of any authorized denominations and evidencing a like number of Corporate Units or Treasury Units, as the case may be, upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at the Corporate Trust Office of the Purchase Contract Agent or its agent in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Purchase Contract Agent, and the Purchase Contract Agent shall authenticate, execute on behalf of the Holder, as its attorney-in-fact, and deliver to the Holder the Certificates which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. All Certificates issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of a Certificate shall evidence the ownership of the same number of Corporate Units or Treasury Units, as the case may be, and be entitled to the same benefits and subject to the same obligations under this Agreement as the Corporate Units or the Treasury Units, as the case may be, evidenced by the Certificate surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall if so required by the Purchase Contract Agent be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Purchase Contract Agent duly executed by the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of a Certificate, but the Company and the Purchase Contract Agent may require payment from the Holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, other than any exchanges not involving any transfer to a person other than the Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to execute and deliver to the Purchase Contract Agent, and the Purchase Contract Agent shall not be obligated to authenticate, execute on behalf of the Holder and deliver any Certificate in exchange for any other Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange on or after any Early Settlement Date or any date on which the Fundamental Change Early Settlement Right is exercised with respect to such Certificate, any Termination Date or the Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date. In lieu of delivery of a new Certificate, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions specified above in this Section and receipt of appropriate registration or transfer instructions from such Holder, the Purchase Contract Agent shall: (i) if the Purchase Contract Settlement Date or an Early Settlement Date or a Fundamental Change Early Settlement Date with respect to such other Certificate (or portion thereof) has occurred, cause to be delivered the shares of Common Stock issuable in respect of the Purchase Contracts forming a part of the

------

![](ppl02262026ex46044.jpg)

37 #101893793v14 Units evidenced by such other Certificate (or portion thereof) on the applicable Settlement Date; and (ii) if a Termination Event, an Early Settlement, or a Fundamental Change Early Settlement shall have occurred prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, or a Cash Settlement shall have occurred, transfer the RSNs, the Treasury Securities, or the Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio, as the case may be, underlying such Certificate, in each case subject to the applicable conditions and in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 3.15 and Article V. The Purchase Contract Agent shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Agreement or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Certificate (including any transfers between or among Beneficial Owners of interests in any Global Certificate or between or among Depository Participants) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Agreement, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof. In the event that any RSNs underlying Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes with respect to any Corporate Units in global form are to be released from the Pledge following a Termination Event, Collateral Substitution, Cash Settlement, Successful Remarketing, Early Settlement or Fundamental Change Early Settlement (a "Released Security"), such release and delivery shall be evidenced by an endorsement by the Securities Intermediary, at the direction of the Collateral Agent, on the RSN held by the Securities Intermediary and credited to the Collateral Account (the "Pledged Security") reflecting a reduction in the principal amount of such Pledged Security equal in amount (the "Reduced Principal Amount") to the principal amount of the Released Security. The Collateral Agent shall confirm any such Reduced Principal Amount by delivering a photocopy of such endorsement made on the Pledged Security evidencing such Reduced Principal Amount to (i) the Trustee at the email address or other address of the Trustee provided for notices to the Trustee in Section 1.05 (or at such other number, email address or other address as the Trustee shall provide to the Collateral Agent) and (ii) the Company at the email address or other address of the Company for notices to the Company on the signature page of this Agreement (or at such other email address or other address as the Company shall provide to the Collateral Agent). Upon receipt of such confirmation, the Company shall deliver an instruction letter to the Collateral Agent to instruct the Securities Intermediary to deliver the Pledged Security (which will be evidenced by the original definitive note held by the Securities Intermediary) to the Trustee along with an instruction to coordinate the specified decrease in the Pledged Security and the corresponding increase in the Global Note held by the Trustee with respect to the RSNs in an amount equal to the Reduced Principal Amount in accordance with the procedures of the Depository, and the Trustee shall make an endorsement on such Global Note to reflect such increase. Except in the case of a release from the Pledge following a Termination Event, the Trustee shall then promptly return the Pledged Securities to the Securities Intermediary for credit to the Collateral Account. Other than

ARTICLE V THE PURCHASE CONTRACTS Section 5.01. Purchase of Shares of Common Stock. (a) Each Purchase Contract shall obligate the Holder of the related Unit to purchase, and the Company to issue and deliver, on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date at a price equal to the Stated Amount (the "Purchase Price"), a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Settlement Rate, together with Cash, if applicable, in lieu of any fractional share of Common Stock in accordance with Section 5.09, unless an Early Settlement Date, a Fundamental Change Early Settlement or a Termination Event with respect to the Units of which such Purchase Contract is a part shall have occurred, subject to Section 5.05(b)(ii). The "Settlement Rate" is determined by the Company as follows: (i) If the Applicable Market Value is equal to or greater than the Threshold Appreciation Price, the Settlement Rate will be 1.0735 shares of Common Stock (such Settlement Rate, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5.05(a), being referred to as the "Minimum Settlement Rate"); (ii) if the Applicable Market Value is less than the Threshold Appreciation Price but greater than the Reference Price, the Settlement Rate will

![](ppl02262026ex46061.jpg)

54 #101893793v14 be a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Stated Amount divided by the Applicable Market Value, rounded to the nearest 1/10,000th of a share; and (iii) if the Applicable Market Value is less than or equal to the Reference Price, the Settlement Rate will be 1.3419 shares of Common Stock (such Settlement Rate, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5.05(a), being referred to as the "Maximum Settlement Rate"). The Maximum Settlement Rate, the Minimum Settlement Rate and the Applicable Market Value are subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5.05 (and, in the case of each Fixed Settlement Rate, shall be rounded upward or downward to the nearest 1/10,000th of a share). The "Applicable Market Value" means, as determined by the Company, the average VWAP of the Common Stock on each Trading Day during the Market Value Averaging Period, subject to Section 5.05(b)(i); provided that if 20 Trading Days for the Common Stock have not occurred during the Market Value Averaging Period, all remaining Trading Days shall be deemed to occur on the third Scheduled Trading Day immediately prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date and the VWAP for each of the remaining Trading Days will be the VWAP on such third Scheduled Trading Day or, if such day is not a Trading Day, the Closing Price of the Common Stock as of such day. The "VWAP" means, in respect of Common Stock, for the relevant Trading Day, the per share volume weighted average price on the principal exchange or quotation system on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted for trading as displayed under the heading Bloomberg VWAP on Bloomberg page "PPL US AQR" (or its equivalent successor if such page is not available) in respect of the period from the scheduled open of trading on the relevant Trading Day until the scheduled close of trading on the relevant Trading Day (or if such volume weighted-average price is unavailable, the market price of one share of Common Stock on such Trading Day determined, using a volume-weighted average method, by a nationally recognized independent investment banking firm retained by the Company for this purpose). The "Market Value Averaging Period" means the 20 consecutive Scheduled Trading Days ending on, and including, the third Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date. The "Closing Price" per share of Common Stock means, on any date of determination, the closing sale price or, if no closing sale price is reported, the last reported sale price per share of Common Stock on the principal U.S. securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed, or if the Common Stock is not so listed on a U.S. securities exchange, the average of the last quoted bid and ask prices for the Common Stock in the over-the-counter market as reported by OTC Markets Group Inc. or similar organization, or, if those bid and ask prices are not available, the market value of the Common Stock on that date as determined by a nationally recognized independent investment banking firm retained by the Company for this purpose.

(b) Each Holder of a Corporate Unit or a Treasury Unit, by purchasing such Unit shall be deemed to have: (i) irrevocably appointed the Purchase Contract Agent as its attorney- in-fact to enter into and perform the related Purchase Contract, this Agreement and the Remarketing Agreement, substantially in the form of Exhibit P hereto, on its behalf and in the name of and on behalf of such Holder (including, without limitation, the execution of Certificates on behalf of such Holder);

(c) [Reserved]. (d) Upon registration of transfer of a Certificate, the transferee shall be bound (without the necessity of any other action on the part of such transferee) by the terms of this Agreement and the Purchase Contracts underlying such Certificate and the transferor shall be released from the obligations under this Agreement and the Purchase Contracts underlying the Certificate so transferred. The Company covenants and agrees, and each Holder of a Certificate, by its acceptance thereof, likewise shall be deemed to have covenanted and agreed, to be bound by the provisions of this paragraph.

All calculations and determinations of the Settlement Rate and the Applicable Market Value and any adjustments to the Reference Price or the Threshold Appreciation Price shall be made by the Company based on its good faith calculations, and the Purchase Contract Agent shall have no responsibility with respect thereto. The Company shall provide a schedule of such calculations to the Purchase Contract Agent and the Purchase Contract Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon the accuracy of such calculations without independent verification. (f) If a Market Disruption Event occurs on any Scheduled Trading Day during the Market Value Averaging Period, the Company shall give the Holders and the Purchase Contract Agent written notice thereof on the calendar day on which such event occurs.

(v) If the Remarketing Agent(s) is able to remarket such RSNs and the Separate RSNs of each series (if any) for at least the applicable Remarketing Price in any Final Remarketing in accordance with the Remarketing Agreement (a "Successful Final Remarketing"), the Collateral Agent shall cause the Securities Intermediary to Transfer to the Remarketing Agent(s) the remarketed RSNs underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes upon confirmation of deposit to the Collateral Account of proceeds of such Successful Final Remarketing attributable to such RSNs, and the Custodial Agent shall Transfer the remarketed Separate RSNs to the Remarketing Agent(s) upon confirmation of deposit to the Separate RSNs Account of proceeds of such Successful Final Remarketing attributable to such Separate RSNs.

In addition, on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, the Securities Intermediary shall deliver to the Collateral Agent for distribution to the Holders of Corporate Units who have elected Cash Settlement, and paid the Purchase Price as required by Section 5.03(a)(ii), the RSNs underlying the Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes underlying such Corporate Units. With respect to any Separate RSNs remarketed, upon receipt of proceeds attributable to remarketed Separate RSNs, the Custodial Agent shall remit such proceeds of the Successful Final Remarketing received from the Remarketing Agent(s) pro rata to the holders of such Separate RSNs on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date in accordance with the instructions provided in the form of Exhibit K.

(vii) If there is a Successful Final Remarketing, the Company shall cause a notice of the Successful Final Remarketing to be provided to the Purchase Contract Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Custodial Agent and to be published no later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately following the Final Remarketing Date. This notice shall include the Reset Rates. This notice shall be validly published by furnishing such information on a Current Report on Form 8-K or by making a timely release to any appropriate news agency, including Bloomberg Business News and the Dow Jones News Service. (viii) In connection with any Successful Final Remarketing, the Company shall cause all accrued and unpaid interest to be paid to the Holders of the RSNs, as of the relevant Regular Record Date (as defined in the Indenture) (whether or not such RSNs were remarketed in such Successful Final Remarketing), on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date in Cash. (ix) If, in spite of its commercially reasonable efforts, the Remarketing Agent(s) cannot remarket the RSNs during the Final Remarketing Period at a price equal to or greater than the applicable Remarketing Price or a condition precedent set forth in the Remarketing Agreement is not fulfilled, the Remarketing will be deemed to have failed (a "Failed Final Remarketing"). Following a Failed Final Remarketing, as of the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, each Holder of any Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes, unless such Holder has (A) provided written notice in substantially the form of Exhibit M prior to 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day immediately preceding the

Following such application, each such Holder's Obligations will be deemed to be satisfied in full, and the Collateral Agent shall cause the Securities Intermediary to release the RSNs underlying such Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes from the Collateral Account and shall promptly transfer such RSNs to the Company. Upon (x) receipt by the Collateral Agent of a notice from the Purchase Contract Agent in substantially the form of Exhibit N promptly after the receipt by the Purchase Contract Agent of a notice from a Holder of Corporate Units that such Holder has elected, in accordance with the first sentence of the immediately preceding paragraph, to settle the related Purchase Contract with separate Cash and (y) payment by such Holder to the Securities Intermediary for credit to the Collateral Account of the Purchase Price in accordance with the first sentence of the immediately preceding paragraph, in lieu of exercise of such Holder's Put Right, the Securities Intermediary shall give the Purchase Contract Agent and the Collateral Agent notice of the receipt of such payment in substantially the form of Exhibit O and the Collateral Agent shall, and is hereby authorized to, or to cause the Securities Intermediary to (X) deposit the separate Cash received from such Holder in the Collateral Account and, if the Company so requests in writing and the Collateral Agent and the Securities Intermediary consent thereto, invest such separate Cash received in Permitted Investments consistent with the written instructions of the Company with respect to Cash Settlement, (Y) promptly release from the Pledge the RSNs underlying the Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes related to the Corporate Units as to which such Holder has paid such separate Cash and (Z) promptly Transfer all such RSNs to the Purchase Contract Agent for distribution to such Holder, in each case, free and clear of the Pledge created hereby, whereupon the Purchase Contract Agent shall Transfer such RSNs in accordance with written instructions provided by the Holder thereof or, if no such instructions are given to the Purchase Contract Agent by the Holder, the Purchase Contract Agent shall hold such RSNs, and any interest payment thereon, in the name of the Purchase Contract Agent or its nominee in trust for the benefit of such Holder until the expiration of the time period specified in the relevant abandoned property laws of the state where such RSNs and interest payments thereon, if any, are held.

64 #101893793v14 Company the separate Cash amount or such portion of the proceeds of such Permitted Investments as is equal to the aggregate Purchase Price under all Purchase Contracts in respect of which separate Cash has been paid as provided in this Section 5.02(b)(ix), as the case may be, to the Company, and (B) release any amounts in excess of such amount earned from such Permitted Investments (if any) to the Purchase Contract Agent for distribution to the Holders who have paid such separate Cash pro rata in proportion to the amount paid by such Holders under this Section 5.02(b)(ix), as adjusted to reflect the period of time that each such Holder's Cash was invested in such Permitted Investments. The Company shall be responsible for calculating such adjustment and shall notify the Purchase Contract Agent in writing of the amount to be paid to such Holders. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 5.02(b)(ix) shall prevent holders of Separate RSNs from exercising their Put Right after a Failed Final Remarketing. (x) The Company has the right to postpone the Final Remarketing in the Company's sole and absolute discretion on any day prior to the last three Business Days of the Final Remarketing Period. (xi) If a Successful Remarketing has not occurred on or prior to the last day of the Final Remarketing Period, the Company shall cause a notice of the Failed Remarketing to be provided to the Purchase Contract Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Custodial Agent and to be published no later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately following the last day of the Final Remarketing Period. This notice shall be validly published by furnishing such information on a Current Report on Form 8-K or by making a timely release to any appropriate news agency, including Bloomberg Business News and the Dow Jones News Service. (xii) The Company will pay any Remarketing Fee in connection with any Successful Final Remarketing. Holders whose RSNs are part of a Successful Final Remarketing will not be responsible for payment of any Remarketing Fee. (xiii) Following the occurrence of a Successful Final Remarketing, proceeds attributable to the remarketed RSNs underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership in Notes will be substituted as Collateral for the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes and will be held by the Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms hereof to secure the Obligations of each Holder of Corporate Units, and the Collateral Agent shall have such security interests, rights and obligations with respect to such proceeds as the Collateral Agent had in respect of the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes. (c) [Reserved]. (d) At any time following notice by the Company of a Remarketing, other than during a Blackout Period, holders of Separate RSNs may elect to have their Separate RSNs of either or both series remarketed in such Remarketing in the same manner as the RSNs included in Corporate Units by delivering their Separate RSNs along with a notice of this election, substantially in the form of Exhibit K, to the Custodial Agent. The

------

![](ppl02262026ex46072.jpg)

65 #101893793v14 Custodial Agent shall hold the Separate RSNs in an account separate from the Collateral Account in which any Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes and/or any Pledged Treasury Securities shall be held. Holders electing to have their Separate RSNs remarketed shall also have the right to withdraw the election, other than during a Blackout Period, by written notice to the Collateral Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit L, at any time prior to 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day immediately preceding the first day of the Applicable Remarketing Period. In the event of a Successful Remarketing during an Optional Remarketing Period, each holder of Separate RSNs that elects to have its RSNs remarketed shall receive for each $1,000 principal amount of RSNs, the Remarketing Price Per 2034 RSN or the Remarketing Price Per 2039 RSN, as applicable. In the event of a Successful Remarketing during the Final Remarketing Period, each holder of Separate RSNs that elects to have its RSNs remarketed shall receive its pro rata portion of the proceeds of such Successful Remarketing attributable to remarketed Separate RSNs pursuant to Section 5.02(b)(v)(1), which shall be, for each $1,000 principal amount of RSNs, at least equal to $1,000 in Cash. Any accrued and unpaid interest on such RSNs shall be paid in Cash by the Company on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date. (e) For the avoidance of doubt, the right of each holder of the RSNs underlying the aggregate Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes that are components of Corporate Units (who, in the case of a Final Remarketing, have not elected Cash Settlement, and paid the Purchase Price in Cash to the Securities Intermediary, pursuant to Section 5.03) and the Separate RSNs, the holders of which have elected to participate in any Remarketing, to have such RSNs remarketed during the Applicable Remarketing Period and sold on the Optional Remarketing Date or the Final Remarketing Date, as the case may be, shall be subject to the conditions that (i) (1) the Remarketing Agent(s) conducts an Optional Remarketing, or (2) in the case of a Final Remarketing, that no Successful Optional Remarketing has occurred, each pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, (ii) a Termination Event has not occurred prior to the Optional Remarketing Date or the Final Remarketing Date, as the case may be, (iii) the Remarketing Agent(s) is able to find a purchaser or purchasers for such RSNs at the applicable Remarketing Price based on the Reset Rates and (iv) each condition precedent to settlement of the remarketed RSNs set forth in the Remarketing Agreement is satisfied or waived. (f) The Company agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that, if required by applicable law, a Registration Statement, including a prospectus, under the Securities Act with regard to the full amount of the RSNs to be remarketed in any Remarketing shall be effective with the Securities and Exchange Commission in a form that may be used by the Remarketing Agent(s) in connection with such Remarketing (unless such Registration Statement is not required under the applicable laws and regulations that are in effect at that time or unless the Company conducts any Remarketing in accordance with an exemption under the Securities Act). Section 5.03. Cash Settlement; Payment of Purchase Price. (a) (i) Unless (1) a Termination Event has occurred, (2) a Holder effects an Early Settlement or a Fundamental Change Early Settlement of the underlying Purchase Contract or (3) a Successful Remarketing has occurred, each Holder of Corporate Units shall have the

66 #101893793v14 right, subject to the conditions set forth below, to satisfy such Holder's Obligations on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date with separate Cash. Each Holder of Corporate Units who intends to pay separate Cash to satisfy such Holder's Obligations under the Purchase Contract on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date must so notify the Purchase Contract Agent by presenting and surrendering at the Corporate Trust Office (or the office of the Purchase Contract Agent's agent in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) (1) the Certificate evidencing the Corporate Units (if they are in certificated form) or the related Book-Entry Interests and (2) a "Notice to Settle with Cash" substantially in the form of Exhibit E completed and executed as indicated, in each case, at any time on or after the date the Company gives notice of a Final Remarketing and prior to 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day immediately preceding the first day of the Final Remarketing Period. Corporate Units Holders may only effect such a Cash Settlement pursuant to this Section 5.03(a) in integral multiples of 40 Corporate Units. (ii) A Holder of a Corporate Unit who has so notified the Purchase Contract Agent of its intention to effect a Cash Settlement in accordance with Section 5.03(a)(i) above shall pay the Purchase Price to the Securities Intermediary for deposit in the Collateral Account prior to 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the first Business Day immediately preceding the first day of the Final Remarketing Period, in Cash by certified or cashier's check or wire transfer in immediately available funds payable to or upon the order of the Securities Intermediary. (iii) If a Holder of a Corporate Unit fails to notify the Purchase Contract Agent of its intention to make a Cash Settlement in accordance with Section 5.03(a)(i), or does notify the Purchase Contract Agent as provided in Section 5.03(a)(i) of its intention to pay the Purchase Price with separate Cash but fails to make such payment as required by Section 5.03(a)(ii), such Holder shall be deemed to have consented to the disposition of the RSNs underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes pursuant to any Remarketing occurring in the Final Remarketing Period as set forth in Section 5.02(b) or to have exercised such Holder's Put Right, in each case, as applicable. (iv) Promptly after 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the first Business Day immediately preceding the first day of the Final Remarketing Period, the Purchase Contract Agent, based on notices received by the Purchase Contract Agent pursuant to Section 5.03(a)(i) and notice from the Securities Intermediary regarding Cash received by it prior to such time, shall notify the Collateral Agent of the aggregate principal amount of RSNs to be remarketed in any Remarketing occurring in the Final Remarketing Period in a notice substantially in the form of Exhibit J. (v) Upon (1) receipt by the Collateral Agent of a notice in the form of Exhibit J from the Purchase Contract Agent (delivered pursuant to clause (iv) above) after the receipt by the Purchase Contract Agent of a notice in the form of Exhibit E from a Holder of Corporate Units that such Holder has elected, in accordance with Section 5.03(a)(i), to effect a Cash Settlement and (2) the

67 #101893793v14 payment by such Holder of the Purchase Price in accordance with Section 5.03(a)(ii) above, then the Collateral Agent shall: (A) if the Company so requests in writing, instruct the Securities Intermediary promptly to invest any such Cash in Permitted Investments consistent with the instructions of the Company as provided for below in this Section 5.03(a)(v); (B) release from the Pledge the RSNs underlying the Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes related to the Corporate Units as to which such Holder has effected a Cash Settlement; and (C) instruct the Securities Intermediary to Transfer all such RSNs to the Purchase Contract Agent for distribution to such Holder, in each case free and clear of the Pledge created hereby, whereupon the Purchase Contract Agent shall promptly Transfer such RSNs in accordance with written instructions provided by the Holder thereof or, if no such instructions are given to the Purchase Contract Agent by the Holder, the Purchase Contract Agent shall hold such RSNs, and any interest payment thereon, in the name of the Purchase Contract Agent or its nominee in trust for the benefit of such Holder until the expiration of the time period specified in the relevant abandoned property laws of the state where such RSNs and interest payments thereon, if any, are held. The Company shall instruct the Collateral Agent in writing as to the specific investment, which shall be a type of Permitted Investments (if any) in which any such Cash shall be invested; provided, however, that if the Company fails to deliver such written instructions by 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the day such Cash is received by the Securities Intermediary or to be reinvested by the Securities Intermediary, the Collateral Agent may instruct the Securities Intermediary to invest such Cash in the specific investment, which shall be Permitted Investments (if any) which have been designated by the Company in writing from time to time in a standing instruction to the Collateral Agent which shall be effective until revoked or superseded. If no such standing instruction exists or is not clear, such funds shall remain uninvested and the Collateral Agent shall have no liability for payment of interest on such uninvested funds. In no event shall the Collateral Agent or the Securities Intermediary be liable for the selection of Permitted Investments or for investment losses, fees, taxes or other charges incurred thereon or in connection with any reinvestment or liquidation of an investment hereunder. The Collateral Agent and the Securities Intermediary shall have no liability in respect of losses incurred as a result of the failure of the Company to provide timely written investment direction. On the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, the Collateral Agent shall, and is hereby authorized and directed to, (A) instruct the Securities Intermediary to remit to the Company the separate Cash amount or such portion of the proceeds of such Permitted Investments as is equal to the aggregate Purchase Price under all Purchase Contracts in respect of which Cash Settlement has been effected as provided in this Section 5.03, as

68 #101893793v14 the case may be, and (B) release any amounts in excess of such amount earned from such Permitted Investments to the Purchase Contract Agent for distribution to the Holders who have effected Cash Settlement, pro rata in proportion to the amount paid by such Holders under Section 5.03(a)(ii), as adjusted by the Company to reflect the period of time that each such Holder's Cash was invested in such Permitted Investments. (b) In the case of a Treasury Unit or a Corporate Unit (if Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio have replaced the Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes as a component of such Corporate Unit), if the Pledged Treasury Securities or the appropriate Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio held by the Securities Intermediary mature during the period from, and including, the fifth Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date to, and including, the Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, the principal amount of the Treasury Securities or the appropriate Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio received by the Securities Intermediary may be invested in Permitted Investments (if any), which have been designated by the Company in writing from time to time in a standing instruction to the Securities Intermediary which shall be effective until revoked or superseded. If no such standing instruction exists or the Securities Intermediary determines in its sole discretion that any such standing instruction is not clear, such Cash shall remain uninvested. On the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, an amount equal to the Purchase Price for all related Purchase Contracts shall be remitted to the Company as payment of such Holder's Obligations under such Purchase Contracts without receiving any instructions from the Holder. In the event the sum of the Proceeds from either the related Pledged Treasury Securities or the related Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio and the Proceeds from such Permitted Investments is in excess of the aggregate Purchase Price, the Collateral Agent shall cause the Securities Intermediary to distribute such excess, when received by the Securities Intermediary, to the Purchase Contract Agent for the benefit of the Holders of the related Treasury Units or Corporate Units, as applicable. (c) The Obligations of the Holders to pay the Purchase Price are non-recourse obligations and, except to the extent satisfied by Early Settlement, Fundamental Change Early Settlement or Cash Settlement or terminated upon a Termination Event, are payable solely out of the proceeds of any Collateral pledged to secure the Obligations of the Holders, and in no event will Holders be liable for any deficiency between the proceeds of the disposition of Collateral and the Purchase Price. (d) The Company shall not be obligated to issue any shares of Common Stock in respect of a Purchase Contract or deliver any certificates in respect thereof to the Holder of the related Units unless the Company shall have received payment of the aggregate Purchase Price for the Common Stock to be purchased thereunder in the manner set forth herein (whether under Section 5.01, 5.02, 5.03, 5.05(b)(ii) or 5.08 or otherwise). Section 5.04. Issuance of Shares of Common Stock. Unless a Termination Event, an Early Settlement or a Fundamental Change Early Settlement shall have occurred, subject to Section 5.05(b), on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, upon the

69 #101893793v14 Company's receipt of the aggregate Purchase Price payable on all Outstanding Units in accordance with Section 5.02 or 5.03, the Company shall deliver in book-entry form, for the benefit of the Holders of the Outstanding Units, newly issued shares of Common Stock registered in the name of the Purchase Contract Agent (or its nominee) as custodian for the Holders or their designees (such newly issued shares of Common Stock, together with any dividends or distributions for which a record date and payment date for such dividend or distribution has occurred on or after the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, being hereinafter referred to as the "Purchase Contract Settlement Fund") to which the Holders are entitled hereunder. Subject to the foregoing, following book-entry transfer of a Unit or surrender of a Certificate, as the case may be, to the Purchase Contract Agent on or after the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, the Early Settlement Date or the date on which the Fundamental Change Early Settlement Right is exercised, as the case may be, together with settlement instructions thereon duly completed and executed, the Holder of the relevant Unit shall on the applicable Settlement Date (or, if later, the date of such book- entry transfer of the Unit or such surrender of the Certificate) be entitled to receive forthwith in exchange therefor book-entry transfer of beneficial interests in that number of newly issued whole shares of Common Stock which such Holder is entitled to receive pursuant to the provisions of this Article V (after taking into account all Units then held by such Holder), together with Cash in lieu of fractional shares as provided in Section 5.09 and, in the case of a settlement on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, any dividends or distributions with respect to such shares constituting part of the Purchase Contract Settlement Fund, but without any interest thereon, and the number of Units represented by the Global Certificate shall be appropriately reduced in accordance with standing arrangements between the Depository and the Purchase Contract Agent. Such book-entry interests therein shall be transferred to the Holder or the Holder's designee as specified in the settlement instructions provided by the Holder to the Purchase Contract Agent. If any beneficial interests of any shares of Common Stock issued in respect of a Purchase Contract are transferred to a Person other than the beneficial owner thereof, no such transfer shall be made unless and until the Person requesting such transfer shall have paid to the Company the amount of any transfer and other taxes (including any applicable stamp taxes) required by reason of such transfer or has established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax either has been paid or is not payable. Section 5.05. Adjustment of Each Fixed Settlement Rate. (a) Each Fixed Settlement Rate shall be subject to the following adjustments: (i) If the Company pays or makes a dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, each Fixed Settlement Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be increased by dividing each Fixed Settlement Rate by a fraction,

Any adjustment made under this clause (i) shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this clause (i) is declared but not so paid or made, each Fixed Settlement Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay or make such dividend or distribution, to the Fixed Settlement Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. (ii) If the Company issues to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock rights, options, warrants or other securities (other than pursuant to a stockholder rights plan or a dividend reinvestment, share purchase or similar plan) entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock for a period expiring within 45 days from the date of issuance of such rights, options, warrants or other securities at a price per share of Common Stock less than the Current Market Price calculated as of the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights, options, warrants or other securities, each Fixed Settlement Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination shall be increased by dividing each Fixed Settlement Rate by a fraction, (A) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration expected to be received by the Company upon the exercise of such rights, options, warrants or other securities would purchase at such Current Market Price; and (B) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase. Any increase in the Fixed Settlement Rates made pursuant to this clause (ii) shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights, options, warrants or other securities. To the extent such rights, options, warrants or other securities are not exercised or converted prior to their expiration of the exercisability or convertibility thereof (and as a result no additional shares of Common Stock are

![](ppl02262026ex46078.jpg)

71 #101893793v14 delivered or issued pursuant to such right, option, warrant or other security), each new Fixed Settlement Rate shall be readjusted, effective as of the date of such expiration, to the Fixed Settlement Rate that would then be in effect had the increase with respect to the issuance of such rights, options, warrants or other securities been made on the basis of delivery or issuance of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. For purposes of this clause (ii), in determining whether any rights, options, warrants or other securities entitle the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock at less than the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights, options, warrants or other securities, and in determining the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options, warrants or other securities, there shall be taken into account any consideration the Company receives for such rights, options, warrants or other securities and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, with the value of such consideration, if other than Cash, to be determined in good faith by the Company. (iii) If outstanding shares of the Common Stock shall be subdivided, split or reclassified into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, each Fixed Settlement Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision, split or reclassification becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, and, conversely, in case outstanding shares of the Common Stock shall each be combined or reclassified into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, each Fixed Settlement Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination or reclassification becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced. (iv) If the Company, by dividend or otherwise, distributes to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock evidences of the Company's indebtedness, assets or securities or any rights, options or warrants (or similar securities) to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire evidences of the Company's indebtedness, other assets or property of the Company or other securities (but excluding (A) any rights, options, warrants or other securities referred to in clause (ii) of this Section 5.05(a), (B) any dividend or distribution paid exclusively in Cash referred to in clause (v) below of this Section 5.05(a) (whether or not an adjustment to the Fixed Settlement Rates is required by such clause), (C) any Spin-Off, (D) any dividends or distributions referred to in clause (i) of this Section 5.05(a) and (E) any distribution of Exchange Property Units in exchange for, or upon conversion of, shares of Common Stock in connection with a Reorganization Event), each Fixed Settlement Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution shall be increased by dividing each Fixed Settlement Rate by a fraction, (A) the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price calculated as of the date fixed for such determination less the then fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Company) of the portion

![](ppl02262026ex46079.jpg)

72 #101893793v14 of the assets, securities or evidences of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one share of the Common Stock; and (B) the denominator of which shall be such Current Market Price. Any increase made under the portion of this clause (iv) shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Company) of the portion of the assets, securities or evidences of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one share of the Common Stock exceeds the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution, in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder shall receive, for each Purchase Contract included in such Holder's Units, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of shares of the Common Stock, the amount of such distributed assets, securities or evidences of indebtedness that such Holder would have received if such Holder owned a number of shares of the Common Stock equal to the Maximum Settlement Rate on the record date for such dividend or distribution. In the case of the payment of a dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock of shares of capital stock of any class or series, or similar equity interests, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company, which are or will, upon issuance, be listed on a U.S. securities exchange or quotation system (a "Spin-Off"), each Fixed Settlement Rate in effect immediately before the close of business on the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution shall be increased by dividing each Fixed Settlement Rate by a fraction, (A) the numerator of which is the Current Market Price; and (B) the denominator of which is such Current Market Price plus the Fair Market Value (determined as set forth below) of those shares of capital stock or similar equity interests so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock. The adjustment to each Fixed Settlement Rate under the immediately preceding paragraph will occur on (A) the 10th Trading Day from, and including, the effective date of the Spin-Off; or (B) if the Spin-Off is effected simultaneously with an Initial Public Offering of the securities being distributed in the Spin-Off and the Ex-Date for the Spin- Off occurs on or before the date that the Initial Public Offering price of the securities being distributed in the Spin-Off is determined, the issue date of the securities being offered in such Initial Public Offering. For purposes of this section, "Initial Public Offering" means the first time securities of the same class or type as the securities being distributed in the Spin-Off are offered to the public for Cash. Subject to the immediately following paragraph, the "Fair Market Value" of the securities to be distributed to holders of Common Stock means the average of the closing

For purposes of such a Spin-Off, the "Current Market Price" of the Common Stock means the average of the closing sale prices of the Common Stock on the principal U.S. securities exchange or quotation system on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted at that time over the first 10 Trading Days following the effective date of the Spin-Off. If, however, an Initial Public Offering of the securities being distributed in the Spin-Off is to be effected simultaneously with the Spin-Off and the Ex-Date for the Spin- Off occurs on or before the date that the Initial Public Offering price of the securities being distributed in the Spin-Off is determined, the "Fair Market Value" of the securities being distributed in the Spin-Off means the Initial Public Offering price, while the "Current Market Price" of the Common Stock means the closing sale price of the Common Stock on the principal U.S. securities exchange or quotation system on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted at that time on the Trading Day on which the Initial Public Offering price of the securities being distributed in the Spin-Off is determined. If any dividend or distribution described in this clause (iv) is declared but not so paid or made, the new Fixed Settlement Rates shall be readjusted, as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay or make such dividend or distribution, to the Fixed Settlement Rates that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. For purposes of this clause (iv) (and subject in all respect to clause (x) below), rights, options or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of the Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company's Capital Stock, including Common Stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights, options or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events ("Trigger Event"): (a) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of the Common Stock; (b) are not exercisable; and (c) are also issued in respect of future issuances of the Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this clause (iv) (and no adjustment to the Fixed Settlement Rates under this clause (iv) will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Fixed Settlement Rates shall be made under this clause (iv). If any such right, option or warrant, including any such existing rights, options or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Agreement, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights, options or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and record date with respect to new rights, options or warrants with such rights (in which case the existing rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to terminate and expire on such date without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights, options or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the immediately preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an

For purposes of clause (i), clause (ii) and this clause (iv), if any dividend or distribution to which this clause (iv) is applicable also includes one or both of: (A) a dividend or distribution of shares of Common Stock to which clause (i) is applicable (the "Clause (i) Distribution"); or (B) a dividend or distribution of rights, options or warrants to which clause (ii) is applicable (the "Clause (ii) Distribution"), then, in either case, (1) such dividend or distribution, other than the Clause (i) Distribution and the Clause (ii) Distribution, shall be deemed to be a dividend or distribution to which this clause (iv) is applicable (the "Clause (iv) Distribution") and any Fixed Settlement Rate adjustment required by this clause (iv) with respect to such Clause (iv) Distribution shall then be made, and (2) the Clause (i) Distribution and Clause (ii) Distribution shall be deemed to immediately follow the Clause (iv) Distribution and any Fixed Settlement Rate adjustment required by clause (i) and clause (ii) with respect thereto shall then be made, except that, if determined by the Company (I) the record date of the Clause (i) Distribution and the Clause (ii) Distribution shall be deemed to be the record date of the Clause (iv) Distribution and (II) any shares of Common Stock included in the Clause (i) Distribution or Clause (ii) Distribution shall be deemed not to be "outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of clause (i) or clause (ii). (v) If the Company, by dividend or otherwise, makes distributions to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock exclusively in Cash during any quarterly period in an amount that exceeds $0.285 per share per quarter in the case of a regular quarterly dividend (such per share amount being referred to as the "Reference Dividend," which shall be adjusted proportionally for any change in frequency of the Company's regular dividends), then immediately after the close of business on the date fixed for determination of the stockholders entitled to receive such distribution, each Fixed Settlement Rate in effect immediately

Such increase shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the date fixed for determination of the stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (x) the amount by which the per share amount of the Cash distribution exceeds the Reference Dividend exceeds (y) the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution, in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder shall receive, for each Purchase Contract included in such Holder's Units, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of shares of the Common Stock, the amount of distributed Cash that such Holder would have received if such Holder owned a number of shares of the Common Stock equal to the Maximum Settlement Rate on the record date for such Cash dividend or distribution. If such dividend or distribution is declared but not so paid or made, each Fixed Settlement Rate shall be decreased, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay or make such dividend or distribution, to the Fixed Settlement Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. The Reference Dividend will be subject to an inversely proportional adjustment whenever each Fixed Settlement Rate is adjusted, other than pursuant to this clause (v). For the avoidance of doubt, the Reference Dividend shall be zero in the case of a Cash dividend that is not a regular quarterly dividend. (vi) In the case that a tender offer or exchange offer (other than an odd- lot tender offer) made by the Company or any Subsidiary thereof for all or any portion of shares of the Common Stock shall expire and such tender or exchange offer (as amended through the expiration thereof) shall require the payment to stockholders (based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender offer or exchange offer) of shares of the Common Stock in such tender offer or exchange offer) of an aggregate consideration having a fair market value per share of the Common Stock that exceeds the Closing Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender offer or exchange offer, then, immediately prior to the opening of business on the day after the date of the last time (the "Expiration Time") tenders or exchanges could have been made pursuant to such tender offer or exchange offer (as amended through the expiration thereof), each Fixed Settlement Rate in effect immediately prior to the

In the event the Company is, or one of the Company's Subsidiaries is, obligated to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to any such tender or exchange offer, but the Company is, or such Subsidiary is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchases, or all such purchases are rescinded, then each Fixed Settlement Rate shall be readjusted to the Fixed Settlement Rate that would then be in effect if such tender or exchange offer had not been made. (vii) If any adjustments are made to the Fixed Settlement Rates pursuant to this Section 5.05(a), an adjustment shall also be made to the Reference Price and the Threshold Appreciation Price solely to determine which of the clauses of the definition of Settlement Rate in Section 5.01(a) will be applicable to determine the Settlement Rate with respect to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date or any Fundamental Change Early Settlement Date. Such adjustment shall be made by multiplying the Reference Price by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Maximum Settlement Rate immediately before such adjustment and the denominator of which shall be the Maximum Settlement Rate immediately after such adjustment and by multiplying the Threshold Appreciation Price by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Minimum Settlement Rate immediately before such adjustment and the denominator of which shall be the Minimum Settlement Rate immediately after such adjustment (rounded, in each case, to the nearest $0.0001). In addition, if any adjustment to the Fixed Settlement Rates becomes effective, or any effective date, Expiration Time, Ex-Date or record date for any stock split or reverse stock split, tender or exchange offer, issuance, dividend or distribution (relating to a required Fixed Settlement Rate adjustment) occurs, during the period beginning on, and including, (i) the open of business on a first Trading Day of the Market Value Averaging Period or (ii) in the case of Early Settlement or Fundamental Change Early Settlement, the relevant Early Settlement Date or the date on which the Fundamental Change Early Settlement Right is exercised and, in each case, ending on, and including, the date on which

If any adjustment to the Fixed Settlement Rates becomes effective, or any effective date, Expiration Time, Ex- Date or record date for any stock split or reverse stock split, tender or exchange offer, issuance, dividend or distribution (relating to a required Fixed Settlement Rate adjustment) occurs, during the period used to determine the Stock Price or any other valuation period hereunder, the Company shall make appropriate adjustments to the applicable prices, consistent with the methodology used to determine the anti-dilution adjustments set forth above in paragraphs (a)(i) to (a)(vi) of this Section 5.05. No adjustment to the Fixed Settlement Rates will be made pursuant to this Section 5.05(a) if Holders participate, as a result of holding the Units and without having to settle the Purchase Contracts that form part of the Units, in the transaction that would otherwise give rise to an adjustment as if they held a number of shares of the Common Stock per Unit equal to the Maximum Settlement Rate, at the same time and upon the same terms as the holders of Common Stock participate in the transaction. (viii) All adjustments to the Fixed Settlement Rate shall be calculated by the Company to the nearest 1/10,000th of a share of Common Stock. No adjustment to the Fixed Settlement Rates shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent in one or both Fixed Settlement Rates; provided that if any adjustment is not required to be made because it would not change one or both of the Fixed Settlement Rates by at least one percent, the adjustment shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment; provided further that notwithstanding whether or not such one percent threshold shall have been met, all such adjustments under this Section 5.05(a) shall be made no later than each day of any Market Value Averaging Period and the time at which the Company is otherwise required to determine the relevant Settlement Rate or amount of Make-Whole Shares (if applicable) in connection with any settlement of the Purchase Contracts pursuant to Section 5.01, Section 5.05(b)(ii) or Section 5.08. (ix) The Company may increase the Fixed Settlement Rates, in addition to those increases required by this Section 5.05(a), if the Board of Directors deems it advisable in order to avoid or diminish any income tax to any holders of Common Stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of shares (or rights to acquire shares) or from any event treated as a dividend or distribution for income tax purposes or for any other reasons. The Company may only make such a discretionary adjustment if the Company makes the same proportionate adjustment to each Fixed Settlement Rate. Any such discretionary adjustment must be in effect for at least 20 Business Days, and the Company shall deliver written notice of the amount of such increase and the number of days for which it will be in effect to the Holders and Purchase Contract Agent at least 15 days prior

If the Company or another applicable withholding agent pays withholding taxes on behalf of a Holder or beneficial owner of a Purchase Contract as a result of an adjustment to the Fixed Settlement Rate, the Company or such other applicable withholding agent may withhold such payments from, or set off such payments against, payments on such Purchase Contract, including any Common Stock received upon purchase on the Settlement Date. (x) To the extent the Company has a stockholders rights plan involving the issuance of share purchase rights or other similar rights (the "Rights") to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock in effect upon settlement of a Purchase Contract, a Holder shall be entitled to receive upon settlement of any Purchase Contract, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon settlement of such Purchase Contract, the related Rights for the Common Stock under the stockholders rights plan, unless prior to such settlement, such Rights under the stockholders rights plan have separated from the Common Stock, in which case each Fixed Settlement Rate shall be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Company made a distribution to all holders of the Common Stock as provided in Section 5.05(a)(iv), subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of the Rights. (b) (i) Following the effective date of a Reorganization Event, the Settlement Rate shall be determined by reference to the value of an Exchange Property Unit, and the Company shall deliver, upon settlement of any Purchase Contract, a number of Exchange Property Units equal to the number of shares of Common Stock that the Company would otherwise be required to deliver hereunder. An "Exchange Property Unit" is the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities or other property or assets (including Cash or any combination thereof) that a holder of one share of Common Stock immediately prior to such Reorganization Event would have owned or been entitled to receive upon such Reorganization Event. In the event holders of Common Stock have the opportunity to elect the form of consideration to be received in a Reorganization Event, the Exchange Property Unit that Holders of the Corporate Units or the Treasury Units would have been entitled to receive upon settlement shall be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration actually received by the holders of Common Stock in such Reorganization Event. In the event of such a Reorganization Event, the issuer of the Exchange Property Units following such Reorganization Event shall execute and deliver to the Purchase Contract Agent an agreement supplemental hereto providing that the Holder of each Unit that remains Outstanding after the Reorganization Event (if any) shall have the rights provided by this Section 5.05(b). Such supplemental agreement shall provide, to the extent the Exchange Property Units are comprised (in whole or in part) of common equity securities, for adjustments to the amount of any such securities constituting all or a portion of an Exchange Property Unit and/or adjustments to the Fixed Settlement Rates, which, for events subsequent to the effective date of such Reorganization Event, shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section

When the Company executes a supplemental agreement pursuant to this Section 5.05(b)(i), the Company shall promptly file with the Purchase Contract Agent (i) an Officer's Certificate briefly stating the reasons therefor, the kind or amount of Cash, securities or property or asset that will comprise an Exchange Property Unit after any such Reorganization Event, any adjustments to be made with respect thereto and that all conditions precedent have been complied with and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel that all conditions precedent have been complied with, and shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered notice thereof to all Holders. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of such supplemental agreement. The Company shall not become a party to any Reorganization Event unless its terms are consistent with this Section 5.05(b)(i). For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Purchase Contract Agent have any obligation to determine whether the terms of any Reorganization Event are consistent with or otherwise comply with this Section 5.05(b)(i). In connection with any Reorganization Event, the Reference Dividend shall be subject to adjustment as described in clause (A), clause (B) or clause (C) below, as the case may be. (A) In the case of a Reorganization Event in which the Exchange Property Unit (determined, as appropriate, as set forth above and excluding any dissenters' appraisal rights) is composed entirely of shares of common stock (the "Merger Common Stock"), the Reference Dividend at and after the effective time of such Reorganization Event will be equal to (x) the Reference Dividend immediately prior to the effective time of such Reorganization Event, divided by (y) the number of shares of Merger Common Stock that a holder of one share of Common Stock would receive in such Reorganization Event (such quotient rounded to the nearest $0.0001). (B) In the case of a Reorganization Event in which the Exchange Property Unit (determined, as appropriate, as set forth above and excluding any dissenters' appraisal rights) is composed in part of shares of Merger Common Stock, the Reference Dividend at and after the effective time of such Reorganization Event will be equal to (x) the Reference Dividend immediately prior to the effective time of such Reorganization Event, multiplied by (y) the Merger Valuation Percentage for such Reorganization Event (such product rounded to the nearest $0.0001). (C) For the avoidance of doubt, in the case of a Reorganization Event in which the Exchange Property Unit (determined, as appropriate, as set forth above and excluding any dissenters' appraisal rights) is composed entirely of consideration other than shares of

For purposes of calculating the "value" of an Exchange Property Unit, or any Cash, securities or other property included therein, for purposes of (I) this Section 5.05(b)(i) and (II) the definitions of "Merger Valuation Percentage" and "Fundamental Change," (x) the value of any Cash shall be the face amount thereof, (y) the value of any common stock shall be (A) in the case of clause (I) above, the average of the volume- weighted average prices of such common stock on each Trading Day during the Market Value Averaging Period (subject to Section 5.05(a)(vii)) and (B) in the case of clause (II) above, the Closing Price of such common stock (determined as if references in the definition of "Closing Price" to "Common Stock" referred instead to such common stock) on the relevant effective date (or, if such day is not a Trading Day, the immediately following Trading Day) and (z) the value of any other property, including securities other than any such common stock, included in the Exchange Property Unit, shall be the fair market value of such property over the Market Value Averaging Period, in the case of clause (I) above, or on the applicable effective date (or, if such day is not a Trading Day, the immediately following Trading Day), in the case of clause (II) above (in each case, as determined in good faith by the Company, whose determination shall be described in an Officer's Certificate delivered to the Purchase Contract Agent). (ii) If a Fundamental Change occurs prior to the 30th Scheduled Trading Day preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, then following such Fundamental Change, each Holder of a Purchase Contract shall have the right ("Fundamental Change Early Settlement Right") to accelerate and settle ("Fundamental Change Early Settlement") such Purchase Contract, upon the conditions set forth below, on the Fundamental Change Early Settlement Date at the Settlement Rate determined as if the Applicable Market Value were determined, for such purpose, based on the Market Value Averaging Period starting on the 22nd Scheduled Trading Day prior to the Fundamental Change Early Settlement Date and ending on the third Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Early Settlement Date, plus an additional make-whole amount of shares of Common Stock (the "Make-Whole Shares"), subject to adjustment under Section 5.05(a)(vii), and receive payment of Cash in lieu of any fraction of a share, as provided in Section 5.09; provided that if 20 Trading Days have not occurred during such deemed Market Value Averaging Period, all remaining Trading Days shall be deemed to occur on the third Scheduled Trading Day immediately prior to the Fundamental Change Early Settlement Date and the VWAP for each of the remaining Trading Days will be the VWAP on such third Scheduled Trading Day or, if such day is not a Trading Day, the Closing Price of the Common Stock as of such day; provided further that no Fundamental Change Early Settlement will be permitted pursuant to this Section 5.05(b)(ii) unless, at the time such Fundamental Change Early Settlement is effected, there is an effective Registration Statement with respect to any securities to be issued and delivered in connection with such Fundamental Change Early Settlement, if such a Registration Statement is required (in the view of counsel, which need not be in the form of a written opinion, for the Company)

If such a Registration Statement is so required, (A) the Company shall, promptly after the date on which the Holder attempts to effect a Fundamental Change Early Settlement, so notify such Holder, and (B) the Company agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to (x) have in effect throughout the Fundamental Change Exercise Period a Registration Statement covering the Common Stock and other securities, if any, to be delivered in respect of the Purchase Contracts being settled and (y) provide a Prospectus in connection therewith, in each case, in a form that may be used in connection with such Fundamental Change Early Settlement (it being understood that for so long as there is a material business transaction or development that has not yet been publicly disclosed (but in no event for a period longer than 90 days), the Company shall not be required to file such Registration Statement or provide such a Prospectus, and a Fundamental Change Early Settlement Right shall not be available, until the Company has publicly disclosed such transaction or development; provided that the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make such disclosure as soon as it is commercially reasonable to do so). In the event that a Holder seeks to exercise its Fundamental Change Early Settlement Right and a Registration Statement is required to be effective in connection with the exercise of such right but no such Registration Statement is then effective or a Blackout Period is continuing, the Holder's exercise of such right shall be void unless and until such a Registration Statement is effective and no Blackout Period is continuing. The Fundamental Change Exercise Period shall be extended by the number of days during such period on which no such Registration Statement is effective or a Blackout Period is continuing (provided that the Fundamental Change Exercise Period shall not be extended beyond the third Scheduled Trading Day preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date) and the Fundamental Change Early Settlement Date shall be postponed to the third Scheduled Trading Day following the end of the Fundamental Change Exercise Period. The Company shall provide written notice to Holders of Units and the Purchase Contract Agent of any such extension and postponement at least 23 Scheduled Trading Days prior to such extension and postponement. The Company shall provide written notice to Holders of Units and the Purchase Contract Agent of the completion of a Fundamental Change within four Scheduled Trading Days after the Effective Date (as hereinafter defined) of a Fundamental Change, which shall specify (1) a related early settlement date in respect of such Fundamental Change (subject to postponement, as set forth above, the "Fundamental Change Early Settlement Date"), which shall be at least 26 Scheduled Trading Days after the date of such notice and one Business Day prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, on which date the Company shall deliver shares of Common Stock to Holders who exercise the Fundamental Change Early Settlement Right, (2) the date by which Holders must exercise the Fundamental Change Early Settlement Right, which shall be no earlier than the second Scheduled Trading Day before the Fundamental Change Early Settlement Date, (3) the first Scheduled Trading Day of the deemed Market Value Averaging Period described in the first sentence of Section 5.05(b)(ii), which shall be the 22nd Scheduled Trading Day prior to the Fundamental Change Early Settlement Date, (4) the Reference Price, the Threshold Appreciation Price and the Fixed Settlement Rates, (5) the amount

Corporate Units Holders may only effect Fundamental Change Early Settlement pursuant to this Section 5.05(b)(ii) in integral multiples of 40 Corporate Units and Treasury Units Holders may only effect Fundamental Change Early Settlement pursuant to this Section 5.05(b)(ii) in integral multiples of 20 Treasury Units, as the case may be; provided that if Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio have replaced Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes as a component of the Corporate Units, Corporate Units Holders may only effect Fundamental Change Early Settlement pursuant to this Section 5.05(b)(ii) in multiples of 400,000 Corporate Units. In order to exercise the Fundamental Change Early Settlement Right with respect to any Purchase Contracts, the Holder of the Certificate evidencing Units shall deliver to the Purchase Contract Agent at the Corporate Trust Office of the Purchase Contract Agent or its agent in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, during the period beginning on, and including, the date the Company delivers notice that a Fundamental Change has occurred and ending at 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Early Settlement Date (such period, subject to extension as set forth above, the "Fundamental Change Exercise Period") a notice of such election in the form attached thereto and such Certificate evidencing its Corporate Units or Treasury Units if they are held in certificated form, duly endorsed for transfer to the Company or in blank with the form of Election to Fundamental Change Early Settlement on the reverse thereof duly completed, and payment of the Purchase Price for each Purchase Contract being settled in immediately available funds. In the event that Units are held by or through DTC or another Depository, the exercise of the right to effect Fundamental Change Early Settlement shall occur in conformity with the standing arrangements between DTC or such Depository and the Purchase Contract Agent. Upon receipt of any such Certificate and payment of such funds, the Purchase Contract Agent shall pay the Company from such funds the related Purchase Price pursuant to the terms of the related Purchase Contracts, and, at the Company's written request, notify the Collateral Agent that all the conditions necessary for a Fundamental Change Early Settlement by a Holder of Units have been satisfied pursuant to which the Purchase Contract Agent has received from such Holder, and paid to the Company, as confirmed in writing by the Company, the related Purchase Price. Upon receipt by the Collateral Agent of the notice from the Purchase Contract Agent set forth in the preceding paragraph, the Collateral Agent shall release from the Pledge, (1) the RSNs underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes or the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio, as the case may be, in the case of a Holder of Corporate Units, or (2) the Pledged Treasury Securities, in the

If a Holder exercises the Fundamental Change Early Settlement Right in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.05(b)(ii), the Company will deliver (or, except for the Prospectus referred to in clause (D) below, which shall in all events be delivered by the Company, will cause the Purchase Contract Agent to deliver) to the Holder on the Fundamental Change Early Settlement Date for each Purchase Contract with respect to which such Holder has elected Fundamental Change Early Settlement: (A) a number of shares of Common Stock (or Exchange Property Units, if applicable) equal to the Settlement Rate determined pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 5.05(b)(ii) plus the applicable Make-Whole Shares determined by the Company as set forth in Section 5.05(b)(iii); (B) the amount of any accrued and unpaid Contract Adjustment Payments (including any deferred Contract Adjustment Payments and Compounded Contract Adjustment Payments thereon) to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Early Settlement Date, unless the date on which the Fundamental Change Early Settlement Right is exercised occurs following any Record Date and prior to the related scheduled Contract Adjustment Payment Date, and the Company is not deferring the related Contract Adjustment Payment, in which case the Company shall instead pay all accrued and unpaid Contract Adjustment Payments to the Holder as of such Record Date; provided that if the date on which the Fundamental Change Early Settlement Right is exercised occurs following any Record Date and prior to the related scheduled Contract Adjustment Payment Date, and the Company is deferring the related Contract Adjustment Payment, the Company shall pay such Holder any accrued and unpaid Contract Adjustment Payments (including any accrued and unpaid deferred Contract Adjustment Payments and Compounded Contract Adjustment Payments thereon) to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Early Settlement Date on the Fundamental Change Early Settlement Date; (C) the RSNs, the Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio or the Treasury Securities, as the case may be, related to each Unit with respect to which the Holder is effecting a Fundamental Change Early Settlement, free and clear of the Pledge created hereby; and

The Corporate Units or the Treasury Units of the Holders who do not elect Fundamental Change Early Settlement in accordance with the foregoing will continue to remain Outstanding and be subject to settlement on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date in accordance with the terms hereof. In the event that Fundamental Change Early Settlement is effected with respect to Purchase Contracts underlying less than all the Units evidenced by a Certificate, upon such Fundamental Change Early Settlement, the Company shall execute and the Purchase Contract Agent shall execute on behalf of the Holder, authenticate and deliver to the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a Certificate evidencing the Units as to which Fundamental Change Early Settlement was not effected. (iii) The number of Make-Whole Shares per Purchase Contract deliverable upon a Fundamental Change Early Settlement will be determined by reference to the table below, based on the date on which the Fundamental Change occurs or becomes effective (the "Effective Date") and the Stock Price in such Fundamental Change. The "Stock Price" in such Fundamental Change will be: (A) if holders of Common Stock receive only Cash in a Fundamental Change described in clause (ii) of the definition of Fundamental Change, the Cash amount paid per share of the Common Stock; and (B) otherwise, the average of the Closing Prices of the Common Stock over the 20 Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Effective Date of such Fundamental Change. The Stock Prices set forth in the second row of the table (that is, the column headers) shall be adjusted upon the occurrence of those events set forth in Section 5.05(a) requiring anti-dilution adjustments to the Fixed Settlement Rates.

85 #101893793v14 The exact Stock Price and Effective Date applicable to a Fundamental Change may not be set forth on the table, in which case: (1) if the Stock Price is between two Stock Prices on the table or the Effective Date is between two Effective Dates on the table, the amount of Make-Whole Shares will be determined by straight line interpolation between the Make-Whole Share amounts set forth for the higher and lower Stock Prices and the earlier and later Effective Dates based on a 365-day year, as applicable; (2) if the Stock Price is in excess of $125.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Stock Prices set forth in the second row of the table as set forth above), then the Make-Whole Share amount will be zero; and (3) if the Stock Price is less than $10.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Stock Prices set forth in the second row of the table as set forth above), (the "Minimum Stock Price"), then the Make-Whole Share amount will be determined as if the Stock Price equaled the Minimum Stock Price, using straight line interpolation, as set forth in clause (1) above, if the Effective Date is between two Effective Dates on the table. (a) The Fixed Settlement Rates shall not be adjusted (subject to Section 5.05(a)(ix)): (1) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on the Company's securities and the investment of additional optional amounts in shares of Common Stock under any plan; (2) upon the issuance of options, restricted stock or other awards in connection with any present or future employment contract, executive compensation plan, benefit plan or other similar arrangement with or for the benefit of any one or more employees, officers, directors, consultants or independent contractors or the exercise of such options or other awards; (3) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security outstanding as of the date the Units were first issued; (4) upon the repurchase of any shares of Common Stock, including without limitation pursuant to an open-market share repurchase program, a structured derivative transaction or other buy-back transaction, that is not a tender offer or exchange offer of the kind described in Section 5.05(a)(vi); (5) for a change to par value, or from par value to no par value of the Common Stock; or (6) for accumulated and unpaid Contract Adjustment Payments.

86 #101893793v14 (b) Each adjustment to each Fixed Settlement Rate will result in a corresponding adjustment to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon Early Settlement. (c) All calculations and determinations pursuant to this Section 5.05 shall be made by the Company in good faith and the Purchase Contract Agent shall have no responsibility with respect to such calculations and determinations. Section 5.06. Notice of Adjustments and Certain Other Events. (a) Whenever the Fixed Settlement Rates are adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall, promptly following the occurrence of an event that requires an adjustment pursuant to Section 5.05 (or if the Company is not aware of such occurrence, promptly after becoming so aware): (i) compute each adjusted Fixed Settlement Rate in accordance with Section 5.05 and prepare and transmit to the Purchase Contract Agent an Officer's Certificate setting forth each adjusted Fixed Settlement Rate, the method of calculation thereof in reasonable detail, and the facts requiring such adjustment and upon which such adjustment is based; and (ii) provide a written notice to the Holders of the Units and the Purchase Contract Agent of the occurrence of such event and a statement in reasonable detail setting forth the method by which the adjustment to each Fixed Settlement Rate was determined and setting forth each adjusted Fixed Settlement Rate. (b) The Purchase Contract Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to determine whether any facts exist which may require any adjustment of each Fixed Settlement Rate, or with respect to the nature or extent or calculation of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed in making the same. The Purchase Contract Agent shall be fully authorized and protected in relying on any Officer's Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 5.06(a)(i) and any adjustment contained therein and the Purchase Contract Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any adjustment unless and until it has received such certificate. The Purchase Contract Agent shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any shares of Common Stock, or of any securities or property, which may at the time be issued or delivered with respect to any Purchase Contract; and the Purchase Contract Agent makes no representation with respect thereto. The Purchase Contract Agent shall not be responsible for any failure of the Company to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of Common Stock pursuant to a Purchase Contract or to comply with any of the duties, responsibilities or covenants of the Company contained in this Article V. Section 5.07. Termination Event; Notice. (a) The Purchase Contracts and all obligations and rights of the Company and the Holders thereunder, including the Holders' obligation and right to purchase and receive shares of Common Stock and to receive accrued and unpaid Contract Adjustment

87 #101893793v14 Payments (including any deferred Contract Adjustment Payments (including Compounded Contract Adjustment Payments thereon)), shall immediately and automatically terminate, without the necessity of any notice or action by any Holder, the Purchase Contract Agent or the Company, if, prior to or on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, a Termination Event shall have occurred. In the event of such a termination of the Purchase Contracts as a result of a Termination Event, Holders of such Purchase Contracts will not have a claim in bankruptcy under the Purchase Contract with respect to the Company's issuance of shares of Common Stock or the right to receive Contract Adjustment Payments. (b) Upon and after the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Units shall thereafter represent the right to receive the RSNs (or security entitlements with respect thereto) underlying the Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes, the Treasury Securities or the Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio, as the case may be, forming part of such Units, and any other Collateral, in each case, in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.15. Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, (i) the Company shall promptly thereafter and to the extent permitted by law give written notice to the Purchase Contract Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Holders, at their addresses as they appear in the Security Register and (ii) the Collateral Agent shall, in accordance with Section 3.15, release the RSNs (or security entitlements with respect thereto) underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes or the Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio (as specified in clause (i) of the definition of Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio) forming a part of each Corporate Unit or the Treasury Securities forming a part of each Treasury Unit, as the case may be, and any other Collateral from the Pledge. Section 5.08. Early Settlement. (a) Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Section 5.08, at the option of the Holder thereof, Purchase Contracts underlying Units may be settled early ("Early Settlement") at any time prior to 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, other than during a Blackout Period in the case of Corporate Units; provided that no Early Settlement will be permitted unless, at the time such Early Settlement is effected, there is an effective Registration Statement with respect to any securities to be issued and delivered in connection with such Early Settlement, if such a Registration Statement is required (in the view of counsel, which need not be in the form of a written opinion, for the Company) under the Securities Act. If such a Registration Statement is so required, (A) the Company shall, promptly after the date on which the Holder attempts to effect an Early Settlement, so notify such Holder, and (B) the Company agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) have in effect a Registration Statement covering those shares of Common Stock and other securities, if any, to be delivered in respect of the Purchase Contracts being settled and (ii) provide a Prospectus in connection therewith, in each case, in a form that may be used in connection with such Early Settlement (it being understood that if there is a material business transaction or development that has not yet been publicly disclosed, the Company shall not be required to file such Registration Statement or provide such a Prospectus, and the right to effect Early Settlement shall not be available, until the Company has publicly disclosed such transaction or development; provided that the

------

![](ppl02262026ex46095.jpg)

88 #101893793v14 Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make such disclosure as soon as it is commercially reasonable to do so). In the event that a Holder seeks to exercise its right to effect Early Settlement and a Registration Statement is required to be effective in connection with the exercise of such right but no such Registration Statement is then effective, the Holder's exercise of such right shall be void unless and until such a Registration Statement shall be effective. (b) In order to exercise the right to effect Early Settlement with respect to any Purchase Contracts, the Holder of the Certificate evidencing Units (in the case of Certificates in definitive certificated form) shall deliver, at any time prior to 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, other than during a Blackout Period in the case of Corporate Units, such Certificate to the Purchase Contract Agent at the Corporate Trust Office of the Purchase Contract Agent or its agent in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, duly endorsed for transfer to the Company or in blank with the form of Election to Settle Early in the form attached thereto duly completed and accompanied by payment (payable to the Company in immediately available funds) in an amount (the "Early Settlement Amount") equal to: (i) (A) the Stated Amount, multiplied by (B) the number of Purchase Contracts with respect to which the Holder has elected to effect Early Settlement in accordance with this Section 5.08, plus (ii) if the Early Settlement Date occurs during the period from the close of business on any Record Date next preceding any Contract Adjustment Payment Date to the opening of business on such Contract Adjustment Payment Date, an amount equal to the Contract Adjustment Payments payable on such Contract Adjustment Payment Date, unless the Company elected to defer Contract Adjustment Payments which would otherwise be payable on such Contract Adjustment Payment Date. In the case of Book-Entry Interests, each Beneficial Owner electing Early Settlement must deliver the Early Settlement Amount to the Purchase Contract Agent along with the Election to Settle Early form duly completed, make book-entry transfer of such Book-Entry Interests and comply with the applicable procedures of the Depository. If the foregoing requirements are first satisfied with respect to Purchase Contracts underlying any Units prior to 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on a Business Day, such day shall be the "Early Settlement Date" with respect to such Units and if such requirements are first satisfied at or after 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on a Business Day or on a day that is not a Business Day, the "Early Settlement Date" with respect to such Units shall be the next succeeding Business Day. Upon the receipt of such Certificate and Early Settlement Amount from the Holder, the Purchase Contract Agent shall pay to the Company such Early Settlement Amount, the receipt of which payment the Company shall confirm in writing. Upon written confirmation of such payment by the Company to the Purchase Contract Agent,

------

![](ppl02262026ex46096.jpg)

89 #101893793v14 the Purchase Contract Agent shall then notify the Collateral Agent that (A) such Holder has elected to effect an Early Settlement, which notice shall set forth the number of such Purchase Contracts as to which such Holder has elected to effect Early Settlement, and (B) the Purchase Contract Agent has received from such Holder, and paid to the Company as confirmed in writing by the Company, the related Early Settlement Amount. Upon receipt by the Collateral Agent of the notice from the Purchase Contract Agent set forth in the preceding paragraph, the Collateral Agent shall release from the Pledge, (1) in the case of a Holder of Corporate Units, the RSNs underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes or the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio, as the case may be, relating to the Purchase Contracts to which Early Settlement is effected, or (2) in the case of a Holder of Treasury Units, Pledged Treasury Securities, in each case relating to the Units containing the Purchase Contracts as to which such Holder has elected to effect Early Settlement, and shall instruct the Securities Intermediary to Transfer all such Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio or RSNs underlying such Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes or Pledged Treasury Securities, as the case may be, to the Purchase Contract Agent for distribution to such Holder, in each case free and clear of the Pledge created hereby. Holders of Corporate Units and Treasury Units may only effect Early Settlement pursuant to this Section 5.08 in integral multiples of 40 Corporate Units or 20 Treasury Units, as the case may be; provided that if Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio have replaced Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes as a component of the Corporate Units, Corporate Units Holders may only effect Early Settlement pursuant to this Section 5.08 in integral multiples of 400,000 Corporate Units. (c) Upon Early Settlement of Purchase Contracts by a Holder of the related Units, on the applicable Settlement Date: (i) such Holder shall be entitled to receive, and the Company will deliver to the Purchase Contract Agent for delivery to such Holder, a number of shares of Common Stock (or in the case of an Early Settlement following a Reorganization Event, a number of Exchange Property Units) equal to the applicable Minimum Settlement Rate as in effect on the Early Settlement Date for each Purchase Contract as to which Early Settlement is effected, subject to adjustment under Section 5.05(a)(vii), together with payment in lieu of any fraction of a share, as provided in Section 5.09; (ii) such Holder shall be entitled to receive, and the Securities Intermediary will deliver to the Purchase Contract Agent for delivery to such Holder, the RSNs, the Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio or the Treasury Securities, as the case may be, related to the Corporate Units or the Treasury Units free and clear of the Company's security interest pursuant to the terms set forth herein; and

90 #101893793v14 (iii) the Holder will be entitled to receive, and the Company shall be obligated to pay, any accrued and unpaid Contract Adjustment Payments (including any accrued and unpaid deferred Contract Adjustment Payments and Compounded Contract Adjustment Payments thereon) to, but excluding, the Contract Adjustment Payment Date immediately preceding the Early Settlement Date. Upon any Early Settlement, the Holder's right to receive future Contract Adjustment Payments and any accrued and unpaid Contract Adjustment Payments for the period since the most recent Contract Adjustment Payment Date (including any accrued and unpaid deferred Contract Adjustment Payments and Compounded Contract Adjustment Payments thereon) will terminate. (d) [Reserved]. (e) Upon Early Settlement of any Purchase Contracts, and subject to receipt of shares of Common Stock or Exchange Property Units from the Company and the RSNs, the Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio or the Treasury Securities, as the case may be, from the Securities Intermediary, as applicable, the Purchase Contract Agent shall on the applicable Settlement Date, in accordance with the instructions provided by the Holder thereof on the applicable form of Election to Settle Early on the reverse of the Certificate evidencing the related Units: (i) Transfer to the Holder (or its designee) the RSNs, the Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio or the Treasury Securities, as the case may be, related to such Units, (ii) cause to be delivered to the Holder (or its designee) a certificate or certificates for the full number of shares of Common Stock or Exchange Property Units (or cause such shares of Common Stock or Exchange Property Units to be delivered by book-entry) deliverable upon such Early Settlement, together with payment in lieu of any fraction of a share, as provided in Section 5.09, and (iii) if so required under the Securities Act, as shall be determined by the Company and set forth in a written instruction to the Purchase Contract Agent, and to the extent provided to the Purchase Contract Agent, deliver or cause to be delivered a Prospectus for the shares of Common Stock or other securities deliverable upon such Early Settlement as contemplated by Section 5.08(a); provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Purchase Contract Agent shall have no obligation to determine whether delivering such Prospectus is required under the Securities Act. (f) In the event that Early Settlement is effected with respect to Purchase Contracts underlying less than all the Units evidenced by a Certificate, upon such Early Settlement the Company shall execute and, upon receipt of an Issuer Order, the Purchase Contract Agent shall execute on behalf of the Holder, authenticate and deliver to the

------

![](ppl02262026ex46098.jpg)

91 #101893793v14 Holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a Certificate evidencing the Units as to which Early Settlement was not effected. Section 5.09. No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued or delivered upon settlement on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, or upon Early Settlement or Fundamental Change Early Settlement of any Purchase Contracts. If Certificates evidencing more than one Purchase Contract shall be surrendered for settlement at one time by the same Holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock which shall be delivered upon settlement of such Purchase Contracts shall be computed by the Company on the basis of the aggregate number of Purchase Contracts evidenced by the Certificates so surrendered (including any Global Certificate, to the extent permitted by, and practicable under, the depository procedures). The Purchase Contract Agent, in its capacity as Security Registrar, shall provide the Company with such information as may be reasonably requested in writing by the Company with respect to the Certificates being surrendered. Instead of any fractional share of Common Stock which would otherwise be deliverable upon settlement of any Purchase Contracts on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, or upon Early Settlement or Fundamental Change Early Settlement, the Company, through the Purchase Contract Agent, shall make a Cash payment in respect of such fractional interest in an amount equal to the percentage of a whole share represented by such fractional share multiplied by the Closing Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date (or, in the case of any Early Settlement or Fundamental Change Early Settlement, the Closing Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the relevant Settlement Date). The Company shall provide the Purchase Contract Agent from time to time with sufficient funds and instructions to permit the Purchase Contract Agent to make all Cash payments required by this Section 5.09 in a timely manner. Section 5.10. Charges and Taxes. The Company will pay all stock transfer and similar taxes attributable to the initial issuance and delivery of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Purchase Contracts; provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any such tax or taxes which may be payable in respect of any exchange of or substitution for a Certificate evidencing a Unit or any issuance of a share of Common Stock in a name other than that of the registered Holder or Beneficial Owner of a Certificate surrendered in respect of the Units evidenced thereby, other than in the name of the Purchase Contract Agent, as custodian for such Holder or Beneficial Owner, and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such share certificates or Certificates unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the transfer or issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax either has been paid or is not payable. Section 5.11. Contract Adjustment Payments. (a) Subject to the provisions of this Section 5.11 and Section 5.12, the Company shall pay, on each Contract Adjustment Payment Date, the Contract Adjustment Payments payable in respect of each Purchase Contract to the Person in whose name the relevant Certificate is registered at the close of business on the Record Date relating to such Contract Adjustment Payment Date. The Contract Adjustment Payments will be payable at the office of the Purchase Contract

92 #101893793v14 Agent or its agent in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, maintained for that purpose; provided that, subject to any applicable laws and regulations, as long as the Units are in global form, the Contract Adjustment Payments shall be payable in accordance with applicable procedures of the Depository. If the book-entry system for the Units has been terminated, the Contract Adjustment Payments will be payable by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto at such Person's address as it appears on the Security Register, or, if such Person so requests and designates an account in writing to the Purchase Contract Agent at least five Business Days prior to the Contract Adjustment Payment Date, by wire transfer to such account. If any date on which Contract Adjustment Payments are to be made is not a Business Day, then payment of the Contract Adjustment Payments payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or payment in respect of any such delay). Contract Adjustment Payments payable for any period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The Contract Adjustment Payments will accrue from the date of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, subject to the Company's right to defer Contract Adjustment Payments pursuant to Section 5.12, each Holder on any Record Date shall be entitled to receive the full Contract Adjustment Payment due on the related Contract Adjustment Payment Date regardless of whether such Holder elects to settle the relevant Purchase Contract early (whether pursuant to Section 5.05(b)(ii) or Section 5.08) following such Record Date. (b) Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Company's obligation to pay future Contract Adjustment Payments (including any accrued and unpaid Contract Adjustment Payments) and any deferred Contract Adjustment Payments (including Compounded Contract Adjustment Payments thereon) shall cease. (c) Each Certificate delivered under this Agreement upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of (including as a result of a Collateral Substitution or the re-creation of Corporate Units) any other Certificate shall carry the right to accrued and unpaid Contract Adjustment Payments and deferred Contract Adjustment Payments (including Compounded Contract Adjustment Payments thereon) that was carried by the Purchase Contracts underlying such other Certificates. (d) The Company's obligations (collectively, the "CAP Obligations") with respect to Contract Adjustment Payments and deferred Contract Adjustment Payments (including Compounded Contract Adjustment Payments thereon), if any, shall rank junior and be subordinated in right of payment and upon liquidation to all of the Company's Senior Indebtedness (including the Guarantees). Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company to creditors upon any liquidation, dissolution, winding-up, reorganization, assignment for the benefit of creditors, marshalling of assets or liabilities or any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceedings of the Company (each such event, if any, referred to as a "Proceeding"), the holders of Senior Indebtedness (including the Guarantees) shall be entitled to receive payment in full of all amounts due on or to become due on or in respect of all Senior Indebtedness (including any interest accruing thereon after the commencement of any such Proceeding, whether or not allowed as a claim against the Company in such

In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment or distribution of assets of the Company by the Company on account of the CAP Obligations shall be received by the Purchase Contract Agent or any Holder of the Units before all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full, or provision is made for such payment in money in accordance with its terms, such payment on account of the CAP Obligations shall be held in trust for the benefit of and shall be paid over or delivered to the holders of Senior Indebtedness or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing any such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, as calculated by the Company, for application to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay all Senior Indebtedness in full in accordance with its terms, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of such Senior Indebtedness. For purposes of the provisions of Section 5.11(d) through (p), "assets of the Company" shall not be deemed to include shares of stock of the Company as reorganized or readjusted, or securities of the Company or any other corporation provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment, the payment of which is subordinated at least to the extent provided in this Section 5.11 with respect to the CAP Obligations to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness that may at the time be outstanding; provided, however, that (i) the Senior Indebtedness is assumed by the new corporation, if any, resulting from any such reorganization or readjustment and (ii) the rights of the holders of the Senior Indebtedness are not, without the consent of such holders, altered by such reorganization or readjustment. The consolidation of the Company with, or the merger of the Company into, another corporation or the liquidation or dissolution of the Company following the conveyance or transfer of its property as an entirety, or substantially as an entirety, to another corporation upon the terms and conditions provided for in Article IX shall not be deemed a dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization for the purposes of the provisions of Section 5.11(d) through (p) if such other corporation shall, as a part of such consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer, comply with the conditions stated in Article IX. Nothing in this Section 5.11(d) shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Purchase Contract Agent under or pursuant to Section 7.07. (e) Any failure by the Company to make any payment on or perform any other obligation in respect of Senior Indebtedness, other than any indebtedness incurred by the Company or assumed or guaranteed, directly or indirectly, by the Company for money borrowed (or any deferral, renewal, extension or refunding thereof) or any other obligation as to which the provisions of this Section 5.11 shall have been waived by the Company in the instrument or instruments by which the Company incurred, assumed, guaranteed or otherwise created such indebtedness or obligation, shall not be deemed a default under clause (d) of this Section 5.11 if (i) the Company shall be disputing its obligation to make such payment or perform such obligation and (ii) either (A) no final judgment relating to such dispute shall have been issued against the Company which is in full force and effect and is not subject to further review, including a judgment that has become final by reason of the expiration of the time within which a party may seek

(f) Senior Indebtedness shall not be deemed to have been paid in full unless the holders thereof shall have received Cash (or securities or other property satisfactory to such holders) in full payment of such Senior Indebtedness then outstanding. Upon the payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness, the rights of the Holders of the Units shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive any further payments or distributions of Cash, property or securities of the Company applicable to Senior Indebtedness until the CAP Obligations shall be paid in full. For purposes of such subrogation, no payments or distributions to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness of any cash, property or securities to which the Holders of the Units or the Purchase Contract Agent would be entitled except for the provisions of Section 5.11(d) through 5.11(p), and no payments pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.11(d) through 5.11(p) to the holders of Senior Indebtedness by Holders of the Units or the Purchase Contract Agent, shall, as among the Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior Indebtedness and the Holders of the Units, be deemed to be a payment or distribution by the Company to or on account of the Senior Indebtedness, it being understood that the provisions of Section 5.11(d) through (p) are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Holders of the Units, on the one hand, and the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, on the other hand. (g) Nothing contained in the provisions of Section 5.11(d) through (p) or elsewhere in this Agreement, the Units or the Purchase Contracts is intended to or shall impair, as among the Company, its creditors other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness and the Holders of the Units, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to satisfy the CAP Obligations as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with this Agreement, the Units or the Purchase Contracts, or is intended to or shall affect the relative rights against the Company of the Holder and creditors of the Company other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness, nor shall anything herein or therein prevent the Purchase Contract Agent or any Holder from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon a failure of the Company to satisfy the CAP Obligations under this Agreement, the Units or the Purchase Contracts, subject to the rights, if any, under the provisions of Section 5.11(d) through (p) of the holders of Senior Indebtedness in respect of Cash, property or securities of the Company received upon the exercise of any such remedy.

The Purchase Contract Agent, subject to the provisions of Article VII, and the Holders of the Units shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a Person representing himself to be a holder of Senior Indebtedness (or a representative of such holder or a trustee under any indenture under which any instruments evidencing any such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued) to establish that such notice has been given by a holder of such Senior Indebtedness or such representative or trustee on behalf of such holder. In the event that the Purchase Contract Agent determines in good faith that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of Senior Indebtedness, to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.11(d) through 5.11(p), the Purchase Contract Agent may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Purchase Contract Agent as to the amount of Senior Indebtedness held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and any other facts pertinent to the right of such Person under the provisions of Section 5.11(d) through (p), and, if such evidence is not furnished, the Purchase Contract Agent may defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment or distribution.

(k) The holders of Senior Indebtedness may, without affecting in any manner the subordination of the CAP Obligations, at any time or from time to time and in their absolute discretion, agree with the Company to change the manner, place or terms of payment, change or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, any Senior Indebtedness, or amend or supplement any instrument pursuant to which any Senior Indebtedness is issued, or exercise or refrain from exercising any other of their rights under the Senior Indebtedness including, without limitation, the waiver of default thereunder, all without notice to or assent from the Holders or the Purchase Contract Agent. (l) With respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, the Purchase Contract Agent undertakes to perform or to observe only such of its covenants and objectives as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, the Units or the Purchase Contracts, and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be read into this Agreement, the Units or the Purchase Contracts against the Purchase Contract Agent.

(m) In case at any time any Paying Agent other than the Purchase Contract Agent shall have been appointed by the Company and be then acting hereunder, the term "Purchase Contract Agent" as used in the provisions of Section 5.11(d) through (p) shall in such case (unless the context shall otherwise require) be construed as extending to and including such Paying Agent within its meaning as fully for all intents and purposes as if such Paying Agent were named in the provisions of Section 5.11(d) through (p) in addition to or in place of the Purchase Contract Agent; provided, however, that Sections 5.11(i), (j) and (l) shall not apply to the Company if it acts as Paying Agent. (n) No right of any present or future holder of Senior Indebtedness to enforce the subordination herein shall at any time or in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder, or by any noncompliance by the Company with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Agreement, the Units or the Purchase Contracts, regardless of any knowledge thereof any such holder may have or be otherwise charged with. (o) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, other than as provided in the immediately succeeding sentence, all the provisions of this Agreement, the Units or the Purchase Contracts shall be subject to the provisions of Section 5.11(d) through (p), so far as the same may be applicable thereto. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the provisions of Section 5.11(d) through (p) shall be of no further effect, and the CAP Obligations shall no longer be subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment of Senior Indebtedness, if, and to the extent, the Company shall have delivered to the Purchase Contract Agent a notice to such effect. Any such notice delivered by the Company shall not be deemed to be a supplemental indenture for purposes of Article Twelve of the Base Indenture. (p) The failure of the Company to make a payment with respect to the CAP Obligations by reason of any provision in Section 5.11(d) through (p) shall not be construed as preventing the occurrence of a default under this Agreement, the Units or the Purchase Contracts. Section 5.12. Deferral of Contract Adjustment Payments. (a) The Company has the right at any time, and from time to time, to defer payment of all or part of the Contract Adjustment Payments in respect of each Purchase Contract by extending the period for payment of Contract Adjustment Payments to any subsequent Contract Adjustment Payment Date (an "Extension Period"), but not beyond the Purchase Contract Settlement Date (or, with respect to Purchase Contracts for (i) which an effective Fundamental Change Early Settlement has occurred, the Fundamental Change Early Settlement Date or (ii) which an effective Early Settlement has occurred, the Contract Adjustment Payment Date immediately preceding the Early Settlement Date).

If the Company so elects to defer Contract Adjustment Payments, the Company shall pay additional Contract Adjustment Payments on such deferred installments of Contract Adjustment Payments at a rate equal to 7.00% per annum, compounded on each Contract Adjustment Payment Date to, but excluding, the Contract Adjustment Payment Date on which such deferred Contract Adjustment Payments are paid (the accrued additional Contract Adjustment Payments thereon, being referred to herein as the "Compounded Contract Adjustment Payments"). The Company may pay any such deferred Contract Adjustment Payments (including Compounded Contract Adjustment Payments thereon) on any scheduled Contract Adjustment Payment Date to the Holder on the related Record Date, subject to sub-section (c) below. (b) The Company shall give written notice to the Purchase Contract Agent and to Holders of Purchase Contracts of its election to extend any period for the payment of Contract Adjustment Payments, the expected length of any such Extension Period and any extension of any Extension Period, at least one Business Day before the earlier of (i) the Record Date for the Payment Date on which Contract Adjustment Payments would have been payable except for the election to begin or extend the Extension Period or (ii) the date the Purchase Contract Agent is required to give notice to Holders of Purchase Contracts of such Record Date or such Payment Date. (c) Company shall give written notice to the Purchase Contract Agent and to Holders of Purchase Contracts of the end of an Extension Period (other than on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date) or its election to pay any portion of the deferred Contract Adjustment Payments (including Compounded Contract Adjustment Payments thereon) on a Payment Date prior to the end of an Extension Period, at least one Business Day before the earlier of (i) the Record Date for the Payment Date on which such Extension Period shall end or such payment of deferred Contract Adjustment Payments (including Compounded Contract Adjustment Payments thereon) shall be made or (ii) the date the Purchase Contract Agent is required to give notice to Holders of Purchase Contracts of such Record Date or such Payment Date.

Each Purchase Contract evidenced hereby obligates the Holder of this Corporate Units Certificate to purchase, and the Company to sell, on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date at a price equal to the Stated Amount, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Settlement Rate, unless an Early Settlement, a Fundamental Change Early Settlement or a Termination Event with respect to the Unit of which such Purchase Contract is a part shall have occurred. The Settlement Rate is subject to adjustment as described in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued upon settlement of any Purchase Contracts, as provided in Section 5.09 of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement. Each Purchase Contract evidenced hereby that is settled through Early Settlement or Fundamental Change Early Settlement shall obligate the Holder of the related Corporate Units to purchase at the Purchase Price, and the Company to sell, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Minimum Settlement Rate, in the case of an Early Settlement, or the Settlement Rate plus the applicable number of Make-Whole Shares (determined, in each case, as set forth in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement), in the case of a Fundamental Change Early Settlement. In accordance with the terms of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, unless a Termination Event shall have occurred, the Holder of this Corporate Units Certificate shall pay the Purchase Price for the shares of Common Stock purchased pursuant to each Purchase Contract evidenced hereby by effecting a Cash Settlement, an Early Settlement or a Fundamental Change Early Settlement, from the proceeds of the portion of the Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio (as specified in clause (i) of the definition of Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio), from the proceeds of a Final Remarketing of the RSNs underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes or from the exercise of a Holder's Put Right.

As provided in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, upon the occurrence of a Failed Final Remarketing, as of the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, each Holder of any Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes, unless such Holder has elected Cash Settlement and delivered Cash in accordance with Section 5.02(b)(ix) of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, shall be deemed to have exercised such Holder's Put Right with respect to the RSNs underlying such Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes and to have elected to apply the Proceeds of the Put Right therefor against such Holder's obligation to pay the aggregate Purchase Price for the shares of Common Stock to be issued under the related Purchase Contracts in full satisfaction of such Holders' Obligations under such Purchase Contracts. The Company shall not be obligated to issue any shares of Common Stock in respect of a Purchase Contract or deliver any certificates therefor to the Holder unless it shall have received payment of the aggregate Purchase Price, as described in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, for the shares of Common Stock to be purchased thereunder in the manner set forth in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement. The Purchase Contracts and all obligations and rights of the Company and the Holders thereunder, including, without limitation, the rights of the Holders to receive and the obligation of the Company to pay any Contract Adjustment Payments, shall immediately and automatically terminate, without the necessity of any notice or action by any Holder, the Purchase Contract Agent or the Company, if, on or prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, a Termination Event shall have occurred. Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Company shall give written notice to the Purchase Contract Agent, the Collateral Agent, and the Holders, at their addresses as they appear in the Security Register. Upon and after the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Collateral Agent shall release the RSNs underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes or the portion of the Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio (as specified in clause (i) of the definition of such term) forming a part of each Corporate Unit, and all other Collateral, from the Pledge.

Subject to the provisions of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, upon the occurrence of a Successful Optional Remarketing and receipt in the Collateral Account of the proceeds thereof, the Collateral Agent shall instruct the Securities Intermediary to apply an amount equal to the Treasury Portfolio Purchase Price to purchase the Treasury Portfolio. Following the occurrence of a Successful Optional Remarketing, the Holders of Corporate Units and the Collateral Agent shall have such security interests, rights and obligations with respect to the portion of the Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio (as specified in clause (i) of the definition of such term) as the Collateral Agent had in respect of Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes and the underlying RSNs, subject to the Pledge thereof as provided in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, and any reference herein to the RSNs or Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes shall be deemed to be a reference to the Treasury Portfolio or the Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio, as the case may be. The Corporate Units Certificates are issuable only in registered form and only in denominations of a single Corporate Unit and any integral multiple thereof. The transfer of any Corporate Units Certificate will be registered and Corporate Units Certificates may be exchanged as provided in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement. A Holder who elects to substitute Treasury Securities with an aggregate principal amount at maturity equal to the aggregate principal amount of RSNs underlying the Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes, thereby creating Treasury Units, shall be responsible for any fees or expenses payable in connection therewith. Except as provided in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, such Corporate Unit shall not be separable into its constituent parts, and the rights and obligations of the Holder of such Corporate Unit in respect of the Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes, or Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio, as the case may be, and the Purchase Contract constituting such Corporate Units may be acquired, and may be transferred and exchanged, only as a Corporate Unit. Subject to, and in compliance with, the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, the Holder of Corporate Units may effect a Collateral Substitution. From and after such Collateral Substitution, each Unit for which Pledged Treasury Securities secure the Holder's obligation under the Purchase Contract shall be referred to as a "Treasury Unit." Subject to certain exceptions in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, a Holder may make such Collateral Substitution only in integral multiples of 40 Corporate Units for 40 Treasury Units.

Upon Early Settlement of Purchase Contracts by a Holder of the related Units, the RSNs underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes or the portion of the Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio (as specified in clause (i) of the definition of such term) underlying such Units shall be released from the Pledge as provided in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement and the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Minimum Settlement Rate for each Purchase Contract as to which Early Settlement is effected. Upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, a Holder of Corporate Units may effect Fundamental Change Early Settlement of the Purchase Contracts underlying such Corporate Units pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement in integral multiples of 40 Corporate Units, or if the Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio have replaced the Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes as a component of the Corporate Units, in integral multiples of 400,000 Corporate Units. Upon Fundamental Change Early Settlement of Purchase Contracts by a Holder of the related Corporate Units, the RSNs underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes or the portion of the Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio (as specified in clause (i) of the definition of such term) underlying such Corporate Units shall be released from the Pledge as provided in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement and the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of shares of Common Stock or other consideration specified in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement on account of each Purchase Contract that forms a part of a Corporate Unit as to which Fundamental Change Early Settlement is effected equal to the sum of the applicable Settlement Rate and the applicable number of Make-Whole Shares (determined, in each case, as set forth in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement). Upon registration of transfer of this Corporate Units Certificate, the transferee shall be bound (without the necessity of any other action on the part of such transferee, except as may be required by the Purchase Contract Agent pursuant to the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement) under the terms of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement and the Purchase Contracts evidenced hereby and the transferor shall be released from the obligations under the Purchase Contracts evidenced by this Corporate Units Certificate.

Each Purchase Contract evidenced hereby obligates the Holder of this Treasury Units Certificate to purchase, and the Company to sell, on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date at a price equal to the Stated Amount, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Settlement Rate, unless an Early Settlement, a Fundamental Change Early Settlement or a Termination Event with respect to the Unit of which such Purchase Contract is a part shall have occurred. The Settlement Rate is subject to adjustment as described in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued upon settlement of any Purchase Contracts, as provided in Section 5.09 of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement. Each Purchase Contract evidenced hereby that is settled through Early Settlement or Fundamental Change Early Settlement shall obligate the Holder of the related Treasury Units to purchase at the Purchase Price, and the Company to sell, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Minimum Settlement Rate, in the case of an Early Settlement, or the Settlement Rate plus the applicable number of Make-Whole Shares (determined, in each case, as set forth in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement), in the case of a Fundamental Change Early Settlement.

The Purchase Contracts and all obligations and rights of the Company and the Holders thereunder, including, without limitation, the rights of the Holders to receive and the obligation of the Company to pay any Contract Adjustment Payments, shall immediately and automatically terminate, without the necessity of any notice or action by any Holder, the Purchase Contract Agent or the Company, if, on or prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, a Termination Event shall have occurred.

Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Collateral Agent shall release the Treasury Securities underlying each Treasury Unit, and all other Collateral, from the Pledge. A Treasury Unit shall thereafter represent the right to receive the Treasury Security underlying such Treasury Unit, in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement. The Treasury Units Certificates are issuable only in registered form and only in denominations of a single Treasury Unit and any integral multiple thereof. The transfer of any Treasury Units Certificate will be registered and Treasury Units Certificates may be exchanged as provided in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement.

From and after such substitution, each Unit for which Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes secure the Holder's obligation under the Purchase Contract shall be referred to as a "Corporate Unit." Subject to certain exceptions described in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, a Holder may make such Collateral Substitution only in integral multiples of 40 Treasury Units for 40 Corporate Units. Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of, and certain exceptions described in, the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, at the option of the Holder thereof, Purchase Contracts underlying Units may be settled early by effecting an Early Settlement as provided in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement in integral multiples of 20 Treasury Units.

Any such free writing prospectus consented to in writing by the Issuers and the Remarketing Agent is hereinafter referred to as a "Permitted Free Writing Prospectus." Each of the Company and PPL Capital Funding represents that it has treated and agrees that it will treat each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an "issuer free writing prospectus," as defined in Rule 433 of the Securities Act, and has complied and will comply with the requirements of Rules 164 and 433 of the Securities Act applicable to any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, including timely filing with the Commission where required, legending and record keeping.

(c) Upon receipt of notice of the commencement of any action against an indemnified party, the indemnified party shall, with reasonable promptness, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under its agreement contained in this Section 7, notify such indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to the indemnified party otherwise than under its agreement contained in this Section 7. In the case of any such notice to an indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate at its own expense in the defense, or if it so elects, to assume the defense, of any such action, but, if it elects to assume the defense, such defense shall be conducted by counsel chosen by it and satisfactory to the indemnified party and to any other indemnifying party that is a defendant in the suit. In the event that any indemnifying party elects to assume the defense of any such action and retain such counsel, the indemnified party shall bear the fees and expenses of any additional counsel retained by it unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the indemnifying party has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; (iii) the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and the representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. No indemnifying party shall be liable in the event of any settlement of any such action effected without its consent. Each indemnified party

P-17 #101926180v12 agrees to promptly notify each indemnifying party of the commencement of any litigation or proceedings against it in connection with the issue and sale of the Remarketed RSNs. Section 8. CONTRIBUTION. (a) If any Remarketing Agent or person entitled to indemnification by the terms of subsection (a) of Section 7 shall have given notice to the Issuers of a claim in respect thereof pursuant to subsection (c) of Section 7, and if such claim for indemnification is thereafter held by a court to be unavailable for any reason other than by reason of the terms of Section 7 or if such claim is unavailable under controlling precedent, such Remarketing Agent or person shall be entitled to contribution from the Issuers for liabilities and expenses, except to the extent that contribution is not permitted under Section 11(f) of the Securities Act. In determining the amount of contribution to which such Remarketing Agent or person is entitled, there shall be considered the relative benefits received by such Remarketing Agent or person and the Issuers from the offering of the Securities that were the subject of the claim for indemnification (taking into account the portion of the proceeds of the offering realized by each), the Remarketing Agent or person's relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted, the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission, and any other equitable considerations appropriate under the circumstances. The Company, PPL Capital Funding and the Remarketing Agents agree that it would not be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation (even if the Remarketing Agents were treated as one entity for such purpose). (b) No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which indemnification or contribution could be sought under this Section 8 (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party and all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim, and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or the failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party. (c) The indemnity and contribution provided for in Section 7 and this Section 8 and the representations and warranties of the Issuers and the several Remarketing Agents set forth in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Remarketing Agent or any person controlling any Remarketing Agent or the Company, PPL Capital Funding or their respective directors or officers, (ii) the acceptance of any Securities and payment therefor under this Agreement, and (iii) any termination of this Agreement. Section 9. RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL OF THE REMARKETING AGENT.

P-18 #101926180v12 The Remarketing Agent may, upon 30 days' prior written notice, resign and be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder, and the Company and PPL Capital Funding may remove the Remarketing Agent by written notice at any time, in the case of a resignation, delivered to the Company and the Purchase Contract Agent and, in the case of a removal, delivered to the Remarketing Agent and the Purchase Contract Agent; provided, however, that no such resignation nor any such removal shall become effective until the Company and PPL Capital Funding shall have appointed at least one nationally recognized broker-dealer as a successor Remarketing Agent and such successor Remarketing Agent shall have entered into a remarketing agreement with the Issuers, in which it shall have agreed to conduct the Remarketing in accordance with the Transaction Documents in all material respects. In any such case, the Company and PPL Capital Funding will use commercially reasonable efforts to appoint a successor Remarketing Agent and enter into such a remarketing agreement with such person as soon as reasonably practicable. Section 10. DEALING IN SECURITIES. The Remarketing Agent, when acting as the Remarketing Agent or in its individual or any other capacity, may, to the extent permitted by law, buy, sell, hold and deal in any of the Remarketed RSNs, Corporate Units, Treasury Units or any of the securities of either of the Issuers (collectively, the "Securities"), but shall not be obligated to purchase any of the Remarketed RSNs for its own account. The Remarketing Agent may exercise any vote or join in any action that any beneficial owner of such Securities may be entitled to exercise or take pursuant to the Indenture with like effect as if it did not act in any capacity hereunder.

(formerly known as The Chase Manhattan Bank)), as trustee (the "Trustee"). We have examined originals or copies of such documents, corporate records, certificates of public officials and other instruments as we have deemed necessary or advisable for the purpose of rendering this opinion. We have also reviewed the Company's and PPL Capital Funding's joint registration statement on Form S-3 (File Nos. 333-277140 and 333-277140-04) (including the documents incorporated by reference therein (the "Incorporated Documents")) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") pursuant to the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), relating to the registration of securities (the "Shelf Securities") to be issued from time to time by the Company and PPL Capital Funding and have participated in the preparation of the preliminary prospectus supplement dated February 23, 2026 (the "Preliminary Prospectus Supplement") relating to the Securities, the pricing term sheet dated February 23, 2026 relating to the Securities and filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 433 under the Act (the "Pricing Term Sheet") and the prospectus supplement dated February 23, 2026 relating to the Securities (the "Prospectus Supplement").

The registration statement at the date of the Underwriting Agreement, including the Incorporated Documents and the information deemed to be part of the registration statement at the time of effectiveness pursuant to Rule 430B under the Act, is hereinafter referred to as the "Registration Statement," and the related prospectus (including the Incorporated Documents) dated February 16, 2024 relating to the Shelf Securities is hereinafter referred to as the "Basic Prospectus." The Basic Prospectus, as supplemented by the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement, together with the Pricing Term Sheet, are hereinafter referred to as the "Disclosure Package." The Basic Prospectus, as supplemented by the Prospectus Supplement, in the form first used to confirm sales of the Securities (or in the form first made available by the Company to the Underwriters to meet requests of purchasers of the Securities under Rule 173 under the Act), is hereinafter referred to as the "Prospectus."

PPL Capital Funding is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. 2. The Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by PPL Capital Funding, and assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Company, is a valid and binding agreement of, the Company and PPL Capital Funding, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally, concepts of reasonableness and equitable principles of general applicability, provided that we express no opinion as to (x) the enforceability of any waiver of rights under any usury or stay law and (y) the effect of fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or similar provision of applicable law on the conclusions expressed above. 3. The Notes have been duly authorized and executed by PPL Capital Funding and, when executed and authenticated by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and delivered to and paid for by the Underwriters pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, will be valid and binding obligations of PPL Capital Funding, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally, concepts of reasonableness and equitable principles of general applicability, and will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture pursuant to which such Notes are to be issued, provided that we express no opinion as to (x) the enforceability of any waiver of rights under any usury or stay law and (y) the effect of fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or similar provision of applicable law on the conclusions expressed above. 4. Assuming the due authorization of the Guarantees by the Company, the Guarantees, when the Notes (and the Guarantees endorsed thereon) are executed and authenticated in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and delivered to and paid for by the Underwriters pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, will be valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally, concepts of reasonableness and equitable principles of general applicability, and will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture pursuant to which the Guarantees are to be issued; provided that we express no opinion as to (x) the enforceability of any waiver of rights under any usury or stay law and (y) the effect of fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or similar provision of applicable law on the conclusions expressed above. 5.

Assuming due authorization, execution and delivery of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement by the Company and assuming due authorization, execution and delivery thereof by the other parties thereto, the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement is a valid and binding agreement of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally, concepts of reasonableness and equitable principles of general applicability; provided that we express no opinion as to (x) the enforceability of any waiver of rights under any usury or stay law and (y) the validity, legally binding effect or enforceability of any provision in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement that provides for a settlement rate in connection with certain corporate events in an amount that a court would determine in the circumstances under applicable law to be commercially unreasonable or a penalty or forfeiture. 7. The Underwriting Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by PPL Capital Funding. 8. Neither the Company nor PPL Capital Funding is, or after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Securities and the application of the proceeds thereof as described in the Prospectus will be, required to register as an investment company as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. 9. No consent, approval, authorization, or order of, or qualification with, any governmental body or agency under the laws of the State of New York or any federal law of the United States of America that in our experience is normally applicable to general business corporations in relation to transactions of the type contemplated by the Securities, the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, the Indenture and the Underwriting Agreement (collectively, the "Documents") is required for the execution, delivery and performance by the Company or PPL Capital Funding of its respective obligations under the Documents, except such as may be required under federal or state securities or Blue Sky laws as to which we express no opinion. 10. The execution and delivery by PPL Capital Funding of, and the performance by PPL Capital Funding of its obligations under, the Documents will not contravene the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of PPL Capital Funding. We have considered the statements included in the Disclosure Package under the captions "Description of the Equity Units," "Description of the Purchase Contracts," "Certain Provisions of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement" and "Description of the Remarketable Senior Notes" and in the Prospectus under such captions insofar as they summarize provisions of the Securities, the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement and the Indenture. In our opinion, such statements fairly summarize these provisions in all material respects. The statements included in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus under the caption "Material United States Federal Income and Estate Tax Consequences," insofar as they purport to describe provisions of U.S. federal income tax laws or legal conclusions with respect thereto, in our opinion fairly and accurately summarize the matters referred to therein in all material respects.

2 Remarketable Senior Notes due 2034 ("2034 RSNs") and (iii) a 1/40, or 2.5%, undivided beneficial ownership interest in $1,000 principal amount of PPL Capital Funding's 4.02% Remarketable Senior Notes due 2039 ("2039 RSNs" and, together with the 2034 RSNs, the "Notes").

In such capacity, I am furnishing you this opinion pursuant to Section 7(d) of the Underwriting Agreement dated February 23, 2026 (the "Underwriting Agreement") among the Company, PPL Capital Funding and each of the several Underwriters named therein (the "Underwriters"). The Notes are to be issued pursuant to the provisions of the Base Indenture dated as of November 1, 1997, heretofore supplemented and as further supplemented by Supplemental Indenture No. 19 establishing the terms of the 2034 RSNs and by Supplemental Indenture No. 20 establishing the terms of the 2039 RSNs, each dated as of February 26, 2026 (the Base Indenture as so supplemented, the "Indenture") among PPL Capital Funding, the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon (as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (formerly known as The Chase Manhattan Bank)), as trustee (the "Trustee"). Terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Underwriting Agreement. I have examined: a. the Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws of PPL Capital Funding; b. the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and Amended and Restated By-laws of the Company; c. the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, including the form of Remarketing Agreement attached thereto; d. the Indenture, including (i) Supplemental Indenture No. 19, and the Officers' Certificate pursuant to Section 301 of the Indenture, establishing certain terms of the 2034 RSNs and (ii) Supplemental Indenture No. 20, and the Officers' Certificate pursuant to Section 301 of the Indenture, establishing certain terms of the 2039 RSNs; e. the Notes; f. the Underwriting Agreement; g. the Pricing Term Sheet; h. the registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration Nos. 333-277140 and 333-277140-04) relating to the Securities and certain other securities which was filed by the Company and PPL Capital Funding with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and which first became effective upon filing on February 16, 2024 (such registration statement being hereinafter referred to as the "Registration Statement");

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;#101990954v2 February 26, 2026 PPL Corporation 645 Hamilton Street Allentown, Pennsylvania 18101 Re: Registration Statement on Form S-3 Ladies and Gentlemen: We have acted as counsel to PPL Corporation, a Pennsylvania corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the preparation and filing by the Company of a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration Statement No. 333-277140) (the "Registration Statement"), including the Prospectus dated February 16, 2024 (the "Prospectus") included in the Registration Statement, and a Prospectus Supplement dated February 23, 2026 (the "Prospectus Supplement"), each as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"). The Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement describe the Company's offer to sell up to 23,000,000 Equity Units (including 3,000,000 Equity Units issuable pursuant to the underwriters' over-allotment option) (the "Equity Units"). This opinion relates to the discussion set forth under the caption "MATERIAL UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME AND ESTATE TAX CONSEQUENCES" of the Prospectus Supplement. All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Prospectus Supplement. In connection with the preparation of our opinion, we have examined such documents and other materials as we have deemed appropriate, including, but not limited to, the Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement. We have also examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such corporate records, officer's certificates and other documents and have made such investigations of law as we have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinion expressed below. Our opinion assumes (i) the accuracy of the facts contained in the Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement and other materials examined by us and (ii) the consummation of the offer to sell the Equity Units in the manner contemplated by, and in accordance with the terms set forth in, the Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement. Based upon and subject to the foregoing, the discussions contained in the Prospectus Supplement under the caption "MATERIAL UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME AND ESTATE TAX CONSEQUENCES," insofar as they purport to describe provisions of U.S. federal income tax laws or legal conclusions with respect thereto, and subject to the limitations described therein, constitute the opinion of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP. There can be no assurance that changes in the law will not take place that could affect such United States federal income tax consequences, or that contrary positions may not be taken by the Internal Revenue Service. In the event any of the facts, statements, descriptions, covenants, representations, warranties or assumptions upon which we have relied is incorrect, our opinion might be adversely affected and may not be relied upon.
