Except as otherwise provided, the following definitions apply for purposes of this Agreement. “Anticipatory Termination” means a termination of employment where PNC terminates your employment with PNC (other than for Misconduct or Disability) prior to the date on which a Change of Control occurs, and you reasonably demonstrated that such termination of employment (i) was at the request of a third party that has taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change of Control or (ii) otherwise arose in connection with or in anticipation of a Change of Control. “Award Effective Date” has the meaning set forth in Section A of this Agreement. “Change of Control” means: (a) Any Person becomes the beneficial owner (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 20% or more of either (x) the then- outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “Outstanding PNC Common Stock”) or (y) the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the “Outstanding PNC Voting Securities”). The following acquisitions will not constitute a Change of Control for purposes of this definition: (1) any acquisition directly from the Corporation, (2) any acquisition by the Corporation, (3) any acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Corporation or any company controlled by, controlling or under common control with the Corporation (an “Affiliated Company”), (4) any acquisition pursuant to an Excluded Combination (as defined below) or (5) an acquisition of beneficial ownership representing between 20% and 40%, inclusive, of the Outstanding PNC Voting Securities or Outstanding PNC Common Stock if the Incumbent Board (as defined below) as of immediately prior to any such acquisition approves such acquisition either prior to or immediately after its occurrence; (b) Individuals who, as of the date hereof, constitute the Board (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board (excluding any Board seat that is vacant or otherwise unoccupied). For purposes of this definition, any individual becoming a director subsequent to the date hereof whose election, or nomination for election by the shareholders of the Corporation, was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board will be considered as though such individual was a member of the Incumbent Board, but EX 10.37

For purposes of Competitive Activity as defined herein (and as such similar term is defined in any equity-based award agreement held by you), the term “subsidiary” will not include any company in which PNC holds an interest pursuant to its merchant banking authority. “Detrimental Conduct” means: (a) You have engaged in, without the prior written consent of PNC (with consent to be given or withheld at PNC’s sole discretion), in any Competitive Activity in the Restricted Territory at any time during the period of your employment with PNC and the 12-month period following your Termination Date; EX 10.37

Detrimental Conduct will not apply to conduct by or activities of successors to the Award by will or the laws of descent and distribution in the event of your death. No determination that you have engaged in Detrimental Conduct may be made (x) on or after your Termination Date if your termination of employment was an Anticipatory Termination or (y) between the time PNC enters into an agreement providing for a Change of Control and the time such agreement either terminates or results in a Change of Control. “Final Award Date” means (a) the date on which the Committee makes its determination as to the size of the payout to be paid out to you in accordance with this Agreement (such payout amount, the “Final Award”), if any, following the end of the Performance Period, (b) in the event of your death prior to the end of the Performance Period, the date on which the Committee makes its determination of a Final Award, if any, which determination will generally occur at the next regularly scheduled Committee meeting following your date of death, or (c) if a Change of Control has occurred prior to the date described in (a) and a Final Award has been authorized, the date upon which the service requirements are satisfied. “Good Reason” means the definition of Good Reason contained in the Change of Control Employment Agreement between you and PNC or any substitute employment agreement entered into between you and PNC then in effect or, if none, the occurrence of any of the following events without your consent: (a) the assignment of any duties to you inconsistent in any material respect with your position (including status, offices, titles and reporting requirements), or any other material diminution in such position, authority, duties or responsibilities; (b) any material reduction in your rate of base salary or the amount of your annual bonus opportunity (or, if less, the bonus opportunity established for PNC’s similarly situated employees for any year), or a material reduction in the level of any other employee benefits for which you are eligible receive below those offered to PNC’s similarly situated employees; EX 10.37

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the events described above shall constitute Good Reason unless and until (i) you first notify PNC in writing describing in reasonable detail the condition which constitutes Good Reason within 90 days of its initial occurrence, (ii) PNC fails to cure such condition within 30 days after receipt of such written notice, and (iii) you terminate employment within two years of its initial occurrence. Your mental or physical incapacity following the occurrence of an event described above in clauses (a) through (e) shall not affect your ability to terminate employment for Good Reason, and your death following delivery of a notice of termination for Good Reason shall not affect your estate’s entitlement to severance payments benefits provided hereunder upon a termination of employment for Good Reason. “Misconduct” means, as it relates to an Anticipatory Termination or following a Change of Control, (a) your willful and continued failure to substantially perform your duties with PNC (other than any such failure resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental illness), after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to you by the Board or the CEO that specifically identifies the manner in which the Board or the CEO believes that you have not substantially performed your duties; or (b) your willful engagement in illegal conduct or gross misconduct that is materially and demonstrably injurious to PNC or any of its subsidiaries. For purposes of clauses (a) and (b), no act or failure to act, on your part, shall be considered willful unless it is done, or omitted to be done, by you in bad faith and without reasonable belief that your action or omission was in the best interests of PNC. Any act, or failure to act, based upon the instructions or prior approval of the Board, the CEO or your superior or based upon the advice of counsel for PNC, will be conclusively presumed to be done, or omitted to be done, by you in good faith and in the best interests of PNC.

-1- THE PNC FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP, INC. 2016 INCENTIVE AWARD PLAN PERFORMANCE APPENDIX C PERFORMANCE-BASED VESTING CONDITIONS The following table sets forth the performance-based vesting conditions of the Award: 1. General Overview and Definitions Performance-based vesting and payout of your Award is determined based on the level of satisfaction of two performance metrics during the Performance Period – one corporate performance metric and one risk-related performance metric. These metrics are described in more detail in the paragraphs below. “PNC” for purposes of this Appendix C as it refers to performance-based vesting conditions means the Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries for financial reporting purposes. The corporate performance metric will be measured at the end of the Performance Period (except in certain limited circumstances, such as upon death or a Change of Control), as described in this Appendix C.) The two performance metrics are: 1. Relative Total Shareholder Return - PNC’s total shareholder return (TSR) for the period beginning on the Grant Date and ending on the 5th anniversary of the Grant Date (“5-Year TSR”). For this Award, 5-Year TSR means the total cumulative shareholder return (i.e., price change plus reinvestment of dividends) on PNC Common Stock for the Performance Period, assuming an investment on the Grant Date is held through the last day of the five-year Performance Period, based on the closing price of PNC Common Stock on the last trading day immediately prior to the last date of the Performance Period. PNC’s 5-Year TSR is compared to the 5-Year TSR on the common stock of each other member of the Peer Group, using EX 10.37

-2- the same Performance Period and same methodology for PNC’s TSR (“Relative 5-Year TSR”), to determine PNC’s percentile rank, which is expressed as a percentage, rounded to the nearest one-hundredth. “Peer Group” refers to the Committee-determined peer group as of the Grant Date. Performance will be measured based on the Peer Group on the last day of the Performance Period, taking into account name changes and the elimination from the Peer Group of any members since the beginning of the Performance Period (e.g., due to consolidation or merger). In the event of a merger of two members of the Peer Group during the Performance Period, the financial information of the resulting new company will be compared to that of the acquiring member of the Peer Group (as determined on a corporate accounting basis.) The Peer Group for this Award consists of the following members: PNC, Bank of America Corporation, Capital One Financial Corporation, Citizens Financial Group, Inc., Fifth Third Bancorp, JPMorgan Chase & Co., KeyCorp, M&T Bank Corporation, Regions Financial Corporation, Truist Financial Corp., U.S. Bancorp, and Xxxxx Fargo & Company. 2. CET1 Ratio - Whether PNC has met or exceeded the common equity Tier 1 capital spot ratio limit as then in effect and applicable to The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (“CET1 Ratio”) (which may be on a pro forma fully phased-in basis, if applicable) as set forth in PNC’s Enterprise Capital Management Policy (or any successor policy) and monitored at least quarterly. All performance metrics will be determined on the basis of: (x) with respect to PNC’s absolute performance, PNC’s internal financial information; (y) with respect to PNC’s relative performance to other members of the Peer Group, either publicly disclosed financial information or, in the case of PNC, internal financial information that is anticipated to be publicly disclosed in an upcoming filing with the SEC; and EX 10.37

-3- (z) with respect to other members of the Peer Group, publicly disclosed financial information, in each case, only where such amounts can be reasonably determined as of the date immediately prior to the date the Committee makes its determination as to the size of the payout. 2. Calculating Corporate Performance Factor The “Corporate Performance Factor” is generated at the end of the Performance Period. Once the 5-Year TSR is determined at the end of the Performance Period, a corporate performance factor is calculated using the table attached as Exhibit 1 and applying linear interpolation, rounding to the nearest one-hundredth. The Corporate Performance Factor will adjust the Award upwards or downwards, up to a maximum of 25 percentage points either direction, such that the Corporate Performance Factor will range between 75.00% and 125.00% of the number of outstanding PRSUs. If PNC’s absolute TSR for the 5-year performance period is negative, however, the Corporate Performance Factor cannot exceed 100%. In the event of your death or a Change of Control, the provisions of paragraph 7 will govern the calculation of the Corporate Performance Factor. 3. Applying the Risk Performance Metric At the end of the Performance Period, the CET1 Ratio risk performance metric is evaluated. If PNC has met or exceeded the CET1 Ratio test based on PNC’s publicly reported financial results for (x) each full calendar year of the Performance Period, and, (y) for any partial calendar year of the Performance Period, the last completed quarter, then the formulaic risk-based performance metric for the Performance Period will be met. In the event the CET1 Ratio test is not met for a full calendar year or partial calendar year, all or a portion of the target number of PRSUs (and all related Dividend Equivalents) are eligible for forfeiture on the Final Award EX 10.37

-4- Date. The Committee will review and adjust the target number of PRSUs on the Final Award Date. 4. Risk Performance Review Adjustment In addition, and independent from the CET1 Ratio performance metric described in above, on or prior to the Final Award Date, the Committee has the discretion to conduct a risk performance review relating to a risk-related action of potentially material consequence to PNC. If the Committee exercises its discretion to conduct a risk performance review, the Committee will review and determine if a downward adjustment for risk performance is appropriate. If so, the Committee will determine the size of the risk adjustment to the Corporate Performance Factor (including reducing such Corporate Performance Factor to zero.) Any determination to conduct a risk performance review will be made shortly after the close of the Performance Period, but no later than the 45th day following the close of the Performance Period, and any required review will be conducted no later than the end of the first quarter following the close of the Performance Period. 5. Committee Discretion Notwithstanding the levels of corporate and risk performance achieved by PNC, the Committee may use its discretion to reduce the number of Payout Share Units (including a reduction to zero) based on your individual performance. Discretion in Connection with a Change of Control. The Committee will have no discretion to adjust the calculated maximum Payout Share Units following a Change of Control or during a Change of Control Coverage Period. In the event (a) your termination of employment with PNC is an Anticipatory Termination, (b) a Change of Control is pending, and (c) the Committee-determined Final Award Date occurs prior to the Change of Control, the Committee will have no discretion to adjust your calculated maximum Payout Share Units under these circumstances. 6. Calculation of Payout Share Units Following the end of the Performance Period, the Committee reviews performance against the performance EX 10.37

-5- and Determination of Final Award metrics and makes its determination as to the Final Award, as follows: (1) Application of Risk Performance Metric - The Committee first determines whether or not to reduce the target number of PRSUs under the Award, based on the application of the risk performance metric, as follows: (a) If PNC has met or exceeded the CET1 Ratio for each full calendar year of the Performance Period, and for any partial calendar year of the Performance Period, the last completed quarter, there is no reduction in the number of target PRSUs under the Award. (b) If PNC has not met the CET1 Ratio not met for any full calendar year or partial calendar year, then the Committee can elect to reduce the target number of PRSUs (including a reduction to zero). (2) Committee Review of Performance Factor - Next, the Committee determines whether to approve the calculated Corporate Performance Factor, a lower percentage or a higher percentage based on application of any risk-related adjustment (described in paragraph 4) or other Committee discretion consistent with paragraph 5. (3) Final Award Determination - Once the Committee approves the final Corporate Performance Factor, it applies this percentage to the target number of PRSUs (as reduced for any failure to meet the CET1 Ratio during the Performance Period), and rounds down to the nearest whole share unit. The resulting amount is the number of Payout Share Units that are eligible to vest and be settled on the Final Award Date (i.e., the Final Award). In no event can the size of the Final Award be greater than 125.00% of the target number of PRSUs. (4) Special Rules Regarding the Final Award Date – The Final Award will become vested and payable as of the Final Award Date, which term is defined in Appendix B. The Final Award Date is typically the date on which the Committee makes its determination as to the size of the payout to be paid out to you, but:  In the event of a Change of Control, the amount of Payout Share Units will be calculated (as of the date of the Change of Control) as described in EX 10.37

-6- paragraph 7 below and determination of the Final Award will be made as soon as practicable after the Change of Control.  In the event of your death (prior to a Change of Control), the amount of Payout Share Units will be calculated as described in paragraph 7 below as soon as practicable following the calendar year of your death. In the event of your death following a Change of Control, the Payout Share Units and the Final Award Date will be determined as described above. 7. Determination of Payout Share Units Upon Death or a Change of Control Death Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if your employment with PNC ceases by reason of your death (or if you die following a termination of employment with PNC due to Disability, or Retirement on or after the third (3rd) anniversary of the Grant Date, or following an Anticipatory Termination), but prior to the Committee-determined Final Award Date, then the total number of Payout Share Units is calculated based on (a) target corporate performance for the Performance Period and (b) actual risk performance for the completed calendar years of the Performance Period, and for the year in which the date of death occurs, the last completed calendar quarter (if any), and no risk adjustments for any remaining years in the Performance Period. The amount of Payout Share Units is rounded down to the nearest whole share unit. This amount is not pro-rated, but remains subject to the Committee’s exercise of discretion. If a Change of Control occurs after your death and in the same calendar year of your death (but prior to the time the Committee makes a Final Award determination), the Final Award will be calculated as described below under “Change of Control” as though you remained continuously employed with PNC as of the Change of Control. Change of Control Upon a Change of Control, the total number of Payout Share Units is calculated based on (a) target corporate performance for the Performance Period and (b) actual risk performance for each full calendar year of the Performance Period, and for any partial calendar year of the Performance Period, the last completed quarter, rounded EX 10.37

-7- down to the nearest whole share unit. For any remaining portion of the Performance Period (including the year of the Change of Control), if the CET1 Ratio was not met or exceeded as of the quarter-end immediately preceding the Change of Control, a pro-rata portion of the number of target PRSUs will be forfeited and expire as of the Change of Control. The Committee does not have discretion to adjust this amount of Payout Share Units. 8. Definition of Change of Control Coverage Period “Change of Control Coverage Period” means a period commencing on the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event (defined below) and ending upon the earlier to occur of (a) the date of a Change of Control Failure (defined below) and (b) the date of a Change of Control. After the termination of any Change of Control Coverage Period, another Change of Control Coverage Period will commence upon the occurrence of another Change of Control Triggering Event. For purposes of this definition:  a “Change of Control Triggering Event” means the occurrence of either of the following: (i) the Board or the Corporation’s shareholders approve a Business Combination, other than an Excluded Combination (as defined in the definition of Change of Control in Appendix B), or (ii) the commencement of a proxy contest in which any Person seeks to replace or remove a majority of the members of the Board  a “Change of Control Failure” means: (x) with respect to a Change of Control Triggering Event, the Corporation’s shareholders vote against the transaction approved by the Board or the agreement to consummate the transaction is terminated; or (y) with respect to a Change of Control Triggering Event described in clause (ii) of the definition above, the proxy contest fails to replace or remove a majority of the members of the Board. 9. Committee Determination The Committee may make prospective adjustments to the Award. All determinations made by the Committee or otherwise by PNC hereunder shall be made in its sole EX 10.37

-8- discretion and shall be final, binding and conclusive for all purposes on all parties. EX 10.37

-i- EXHIBIT 1: CORPORATE PERFORMANCE FACTOR Linear interpolation applies for performance between the threshold and maximum levels (in either direction). The calculated payout percentage will range from 75.00% to 125.00%. Percentile Performance of PNC TSR Relative to Peer Group Percent Increase or Reduction in Payout ≤25th percentile 25% reduction 50th percentile Target (no reduction) ≥75th percentile 25% increase EX 10.37
