 SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE NO. 21 

SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE No. 21 dated as of September 1, 2019, made and entered into by and between PPL ELECTRIC
UTILITIES CORPORATION, a corporation of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, having its principal corporate offices at Two North Ninth Street, Allentown, Pennsylvania 18101 (hereinafter sometimes called the “Company”), and THE BANK OF NEW
YORK MELLON, a New York banking corporation, having its corporate trust office at 240 Greenwich Street, 7th Floor, New York, New York 10286 (hereinafter sometimes called the “Trustee”),
as Trustee under the Indenture, dated as of August 1, 2001 (hereinafter called the “Original Indenture”), this Supplemental Indenture No. 21 being supplemental thereto. The Original Indenture and any and all indentures and
instruments supplemental thereto are hereinafter sometimes collectively called the “Indenture.” 
 RECITALS OF THE COMPANY

 The Original Indenture was authorized, executed and delivered by the Company to provide for the issuance from time to time of its
Securities (such term and all other capitalized terms used herein without definition having the meanings assigned to them in the Original Indenture), to be issued in one or more series as contemplated therein, and to provide security for the payment
of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on such Securities. 
 The Company has heretofore executed and delivered to
the Trustee Supplemental Indentures for the purposes recited therein and for the purpose of creating series of Securities as set forth in Schedule A hereto. 

Pursuant to Article Three of the Original Indenture, the Company wishes to establish a Twenty-Third series of Securities, such series of
Securities to be hereinafter sometimes called “Securities of the Twenty-Third Series.” 
 Pursuant to clauses (d) and (f) of
Section 1301 and clause (g) of Section 301 of the Original Indenture, the Company wishes to modify the period during which notices of redemption may be sent with respect to the Securities of the Twenty-Third Series. 

As contemplated in Section 301 of the Original Indenture, the Company further wishes to establish the designation and certain terms of
the Securities of the Twenty-Third Series. The Company has duly authorized the execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture No. 21 to establish the designation and certain terms of the Securities of the Twenty-Third Series and has duly
authorized the issuance of such Securities; and all acts necessary to make this Supplemental Indenture No. 21 a valid agreement of the Company, and to make the Securities of the Twenty-Third Series valid obligations of the Company, have been
performed. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE NO. 21 WITNESSETH, that, for and in consideration of the premises and of the
purchase of the Securities by the Holders thereof, it is mutually covenanted and agreed, for the equal and proportionate benefit of the Holders of the Securities of the Twenty-Third Series, as follows: 

ARTICLE ONE 

Twenty-Third Series of Securities 

SECTION 101. There is hereby created a series of Securities designated “First Mortgage Bonds, 3.00% Series due 2049,” and the
Securities of such series shall have the terms provided therefor in this Article One of this Supplemental Indenture No. 21, shall be limited in aggregate principal amount (except as contemplated in Section 301(b) of the Original Indenture)
to $400,000,000, and shall have such terms as are hereby established for such Securities of the Twenty-Third Series as contemplated in Section 301 of the Original Indenture. The form or forms and additional terms of the Securities of the
Twenty-Third Series shall be established in an Officer’s Certificate of the Company, as contemplated by Section 201 of the Original Indenture. 

 SECTION 102. Covenants. So long as any Securities of the Twenty-Third Series shall
remain Outstanding, the following shall be an additional covenant of the Company under the Indenture: So long as any Securities of the Twenty-Third Series shall remain Outstanding, the Company shall not cause or permit the Release Date to be
established, as contemplated in Section 1811 of the Original Indenture. 
 SECTION 103. Amendment. With respect to the
Securities of the Twenty-Third Series, notwithstanding the first sentence of Section 504 of the Original Indenture, notice of redemption of the Securities of the Twenty-Third Series shall be given in the manner provided in Section 109 of
the Original Indenture to the Holders of such Securities to be redeemed not less than 10 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date. 

SECTION 104. Satisfaction and Discharge. The Company hereby agrees that, if the Company shall make any deposit of money and/or Eligible
Obligations with respect to any Securities of the Twenty-Third Series, or any portion of the principal amount thereof, as contemplated by Section 801 of the Indenture, the Company shall not deliver an Officer’s Certificate described in
clause (z) in the first paragraph of said Section 801 unless the Company shall also deliver to the Trustee, together with such Officer’s Certificate, either: 

(a)    an instrument wherein the Company, notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of its indebtedness in respect of
such Securities, shall retain the obligation (which shall be absolute and unconditional) irrevocably to deposit with the Trustee or Paying Agent such additional sums of money, if any, or additional Eligible Obligations (meeting the requirements of
Section 801), if any, or any combination thereof, at such time or times, as shall be necessary, together with the money and/or Eligible Obligations theretofore so deposited, to pay when due the principal of and premium, if any, and interest due
and to become due on such Securities or portions thereof, all in accordance with and subject to the provisions of said Section 801; provided, however, that such instrument may state that the obligation of the Company to make additional deposits
as aforesaid shall be subject to the delivery to the Company by the Trustee of a notice asserting the deficiency accompanied by an opinion of an independent public accountant of nationally recognized standing, selected by the Trustee, showing the
calculation thereof (which opinion shall be obtained at the expense of the Company); or 
 (b)    an Opinion of Counsel
to the effect that the Holders of such Securities, or portions of the principal amount thereof, will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of the satisfaction and discharge of the Company’s
indebtedness in respect thereof and will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amounts, at the same times and in the same manner as if such satisfaction and discharge had not been effected. 

ARTICLE TWO 

Miscellaneous Provisions

 PPL ELECTRIC UTILITIES CORPORATION 

FIRST MORTGAGE BOND, 3.00% SERIES DUE 2049 

PPL ELECTRIC UTILITIES CORPORATION, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (herein
referred to as the “Company,” which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture referred to below), for value received, hereby promises to pay
to                     or to its registered assigns, the principal sum of
                     Dollars ($             ) on October 1, 2049 (the “Stated
Maturity Date”), and to pay interest on said principal sum semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year commencing April 1, 2020 (each an “Interest Payment Date”) at the rate of 3.00% per annum until
the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment. Interest on the Securities of this series will accrue from and including September     , 2019 to and excluding the first Interest Payment Date, and thereafter will
accrue from and including the last Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for. No interest will accrue on the Securities with respect to the day on which the Securities mature. 

In the event that any Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day, then payment of interest payable on such date will be made on the next
succeeding day which is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of such delay) with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on
any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business (a) on the March 15 or September 15,
whether or not a Business Day, (each such date a “Regular Record Date”) immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date or (b) so long as the Bonds are global Bonds held in the name of the securities depository for the Bonds or its
nominee, on the Business Day immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date, except that interest payable at Maturity will be payable to the Person to whom principal shall be paid. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for will

payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities of this series not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not
inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture referred to herein. Interest on
this Security will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting 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 during the period.

 This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein
called the “Securities”), issued and issuable in one or more series under an Indenture dated as of August 1, 2001 (herein, together with any amendments or supplements thereto, called the “Indenture,” which term shall have
the meaning assigned to it in such instrument), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), and reference is hereby made to
the Indenture, including Supplemental Indenture No. 21 thereto, for a statement of the property mortgaged, pledged and held in trust, the nature and extent of the security, the conditions upon which the Lien of the Indenture may be released and
the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The acceptance
of this Security shall be deemed to constitute the consent and agreement by the Holder thereof to all of the terms and provisions of the Indenture. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof. 

This Security is subject to redemption at the option of the Company, in whole at any time or in part from time to time. If this Security is
redeemed by the Company before the Par Call Date, this Security will be redeemed by the Company at a redemption price equal to the greater of: 
  

	 	(a)	 100% of the principal amount of this Security to be so redeemed; and 

 

	 	(b)	 as determined by the Quotation Agent, the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of
principal and interest on the principal amount of this Security to be so redeemed that would be due if the Stated Maturity Date of this Security were the Par Call Date (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued to the date of
redemption) discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate, plus 20
basis points, 

 plus, in either of the above cases, accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. 

If this Security is redeemed by the Company on or after the Par Call Date, this Security will be redeemed by the Company at a redemption price
equal to 100% of the principal amount of this Security to be so redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date. 

“Adjusted Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to
maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for that redemption date. 

  
 A-3 

 “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by
the Quotation Agent as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of this Security to be redeemed (assuming for this purpose that the Stated Maturity Date of this Security were the Par Call Date) that would be used,
at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of this Security. 

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date: 

 

	 	(a)	 the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for that redemption date, after excluding the highest
and lowest Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or 

  

	 	(b)	 if the Quotation Agent obtains fewer than four Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all
Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations so received. 

 “Par Call Date” means April 1, 2049. 

“Quotation Agent” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Company. 

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means: 
  

	 	(a)	 each of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (or their respective affiliates that
are Primary Treasury Dealers (as defined below)) and a Primary Treasury Dealer selected by each of CIBC World Markets Corp. and U.S. Bancorp Investments, Inc., or their respective successors, unless any of them is not or ceases to be a primary U.S.
Government securities dealer in the United States (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), in which case the Company shall substitute another Primary Treasury Dealer; and 

 

	 	(b)	 any other Primary Treasury Dealer selected by the Company. 

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average,
as determined by the Quotation Agent, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount), as provided to the Quotation Agent by that Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m.,
New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such redemption date. 
 Promptly after the calculation thereof, the Company shall
give the Trustee written notice of the redemption price for any redemption occurring prior to the Par Call Date. The Trustee shall have no responsibility for any such calculation. 

Notice of redemption shall be given by mail to Holders of Securities of this series, not less than 10 days nor more than 60 days prior to the
date fixed for redemption, all as provided in the Indenture. As provided in the Indenture, notice of redemption at the election of the Company as aforesaid may state that such redemption shall be conditional upon the receipt by the applicable Paying
Agent or Agents of money sufficient to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, on this Security on or prior to the date fixed for such redemption; a notice of redemption so conditioned shall be of no force or effect if such money is
not so received and, in such event, the Company shall not be required to redeem this Security. Notwithstanding Section 504 of the Indenture, any such notice of redemption with respect to a redemption occurring prior to the Par Call Date need
not set forth the redemption price but only the manner of calculation thereof. 

  
 A-4 

 In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities of
this series of like tenor representing the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

in principal amount of the Securities of all series affected at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults
under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of

or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein. 
 No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this
Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency,
herein prescribed.

series and Tranche and of like tenor and of authorized denominations, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. 
 No service charge

As provided in the Indenture, no recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any Securities,
