 PPL ELECTRIC UTILITIES CORPORATION 

FIRST MORTGAGE BOND, 3.950% SERIES DUE 2047 

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 June 1, 2047 (the “Stated Maturity Date”), and to pay interest on said principal sum semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of
each year commencing December 1, 2017 (each an “Interest Payment Date”) at the rate of 3.950% 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 May 11, 2017 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 on the May 15 or November 15, whether or not a Business Day, (each such date a “Regular Record Date”) 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 forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security
(or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the 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 

  
 A-1 

 
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. 
 Payment of the
principal of and premium, if any, and interest at Maturity on this Security shall be made upon presentation of this Security at the corporate trust office of The Bank of New York Mellon in New York, New York, or at such other office or agency as may
be designated for such purpose by the Company from time to time, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts, and payment of interest, if any, on this
Security (other than interest payable at Maturity) shall be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register, provided that if such Person is a securities depositary, such
payment may be made by such other means in lieu of check as shall be agreed upon by the Company, the Trustee and such Person. 
 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. 19 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 15 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-2 

 “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 four 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 December 1, 2046. 

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

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means: 
  

	 	(a)	each of Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Mizuho Securities USA LLC and RBC Capital Markets, LLC (or their respective affiliates that are Primary Treasury Dealers), 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-3 

 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. 

If an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of this Security may be

at any time of the entire indebtedness of this Security upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture.

time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of all series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified
percentages 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 transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security. 

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not have the right to institute any
proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless (a) such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default;
(b) the Holders of 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable
indemnity; (c) the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities a direction inconsistent with such request; and (d) the Trustee shall have failed to institute
any such proceeding for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium
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. 
 The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons, and in denominations of $1,000
and integral multiples thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein and herein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of the same series and
Tranche and of like tenor and of authorized denominations, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. 

  
 A-4 

 No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the
Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 
 The
Company shall not be required to execute and the Security Registrar shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange of (a) Securities of this series during a period of 15 days immediately preceding the date notice is given
identifying the serial numbers of the Securities of this series called for redemption or (b) any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part. 

Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee

Indenture Act shall be applicable and except to the extent that the law of the any other jurisdiction shall mandatorily govern. 
 As used
herein, “Business Day,” means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is not a day on which banking institutions or trust companies in The City of New York, New York, or other city in which a paying agent for such Security is
located, are generally authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to remain closed. All other terms used in this Security that are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. 

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,
or any part thereof, or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, or of the indebtedness represented thereby, or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement under the Indenture, against, and no personal liability whatsoever shall
attach to, or be incurred by, any incorporator, stockholder, member, officer or director, as such, past, present or future of the Company or of any predecessor or successor corporation (either directly or through the Company or a predecessor or
successor corporation), whether by virtue of any constitutional provision, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly agreed and understood that the Indenture and all the Securities
are solely corporate obligations and that any such personal liability is hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as part of the consideration for, the execution of the Indenture and the issuance of the Securities.

herein by manual signature, this Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.
