1. Definitions; Grant of Option. Certain terms used in this Nonstatutory Stock Option Agreement (the “Agreement”) are defined in Annex A (which is incorporated herein as part of the Agreement) or elsewhere in the Agreement, and such definitions will apply except where the context otherwise indicates.

Pursuant to The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. 2006 Incentive Award Plan (the “Plan”) and subject to the terms of the Agreement, PNC hereby grants to Optionee an Option to purchase from PNC that number of shares of PNC common stock specified above as the “Covered Shares,” exercisable at the Option Price.

In the Agreement, “PNC” means The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. and “Corporation” means PNC and its Consolidated Subsidiaries. Headings used in the Agreement are for convenience only and are not part of the Agreement.

2. Terms of the Option.

2.1 Type of Option. The Option is intended to be a Nonstatutory Stock Option.

2.2 Option Period. The Option is exercisable in whole or in part as to any Covered Shares as to which it is outstanding and has become exercisable (“vested”) at any time and from time to time through the Expiration Date.

To the extent that the Option or relevant portion thereof is outstanding, the Option will vest as to Covered Shares as set forth in this Section 2.2.

(a) Unless the Option has become fully vested pursuant to Section 2.2(b), 2.2(c), 2.2(d) or 2.2(e), the Option will become exercisable (“vest”):

(i) as to one-third (1/3^rd) of the Covered Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole Share), commencing on the first (1^st) anniversary date of the Grant Date provided that Optionee is still an employee of the Corporation on such vesting date or is a Retiree whose Retirement date occurred on or after the six (6) month anniversary date of the Grant Date;

(ii) as to one-half (1/2) of the remaining Covered Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole Share), commencing on the second (2^nd) anniversary date of the Grant Date provided that Optionee is still an employee of the Corporation on such vesting date or is a Retiree whose Retirement date occurred on or after the first (1^st) anniversary date of the Grant Date; and

(iii) as to the remaining Covered Shares, commencing on the third (3^rd) anniversary date of the Grant Date provided that Optionee is still an employee of the Corporation on such vesting date or is a Retiree whose Retirement date occurred on or after the first (1^st) anniversary date of the Grant Date.

(b) If Optionee’s employment is terminated by the Corporation by reason of Total and Permanent Disability and not for Cause, the Option will vest as to all outstanding Covered Shares as to which it has not otherwise vested commencing on Optionee’s Termination Date.

(c) If Optionee’s employment with the Corporation is terminated by reason of Optionee’s death, the Option will immediately vest as to all outstanding Covered Shares as to which it has not otherwise vested, and the Option may be exercised by Optionee’s properly designated beneficiary, by the person or persons entitled to do so under Optionee’s will, or by the person or persons entitled to do so under the applicable laws of descent and distribution.

(d) If, after the occurrence of a CIC Triggering Event but prior to the occurrence of a CIC Failure or of the Change in Control triggered by the CIC Triggering Event, Optionee’s employment with the Corporation is terminated by the Corporation without Cause or by Optionee with Good Reason, the Option will vest as to all outstanding Covered Shares as to which it has not otherwise vested commencing on Optionee’s Termination Date.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.2, to the extent that the Option is outstanding but not yet fully vested at the time a Change in Control occurs, the Option will vest as to all then outstanding Covered Shares as to which it has not otherwise vested, effective as of the day immediately prior to the occurrence of the Change in Control, provided that, at the time the Change in Control occurs, Optionee is either (i) an employee of the Corporation or (ii) a former employee of the Corporation whose unvested Option, or portion thereof, is then outstanding and continues to qualify for vesting pursuant to the terms of Section 2.2(a)(i), (ii) and/or (iii).

If Optionee is employed by a Consolidated Subsidiary that ceases to be a subsidiary of PNC or ceases to be a consolidated subsidiary of PNC under generally accepted accounting principles and Optionee does not continue to be employed by PNC or a Consolidated Subsidiary, then for purposes of the Agreement, Optionee’s employment with the Corporation terminates effective at the time this occurs.

2.3 Nontransferability; Designation of Beneficiary. The Option is not transferable or assignable by Optionee other than by transfer to a properly designated beneficiary in the event of death, or by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

During Optionee’s lifetime, the Option may be exercised only by Optionee or, in the event of Optionee’s legal incapacity, by his or her legal representative.

During Optionee’s lifetime, Optionee may file with PNC, at such address and in such manner as PNC may from time to time direct, on a form to be provided by PNC on request, a designation of a beneficiary or beneficiaries (a “properly designated beneficiary”) to hold and exercise Optionee’s stock options, to the extent outstanding and exercisable, in accordance with their respective stock option agreements and the Plan in the event of Optionee’s death. In the absence of a properly designated beneficiary, the Option will be held and may be exercised by the person or persons entitled to do so under Optionee’s will or under the applicable laws of descent and distribution.

3. Capital Adjustments. The number and class of Covered Shares as to which the Option is outstanding and has not yet been exercised and the Option Price will be subject to such adjustment, if any, as the Committee in its sole discretion deems appropriate to reflect corporate transactions (including, without limitation, stock dividends, stock splits, spin-offs, split-offs, recapitalizations, mergers, consolidations or reorganizations of or by PNC (each, a “Corporate Transaction”)), including without limitation cancellation of the Option immediately prior to the effective time of the Corporate Transaction and payment, in cash, in consideration therefor, of an amount equal to the product of (a) the excess, if any, of the per share value of the consideration payable to a PNC common shareholder in connection with such Corporate Transaction over the Option Price and (b) the total number of Covered Shares subject to the Option that were outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the effective time of the Corporate Transaction.

All determinations hereunder will be made by the Committee in its sole discretion and will be final, binding and conclusive for all purposes on all parties, including without limitation the holder of the Option.

No fractional shares will be issued on exercise of the Option. PNC will determine the manner in which any fractional shares will be treated.

4. Exercise of Option.

4.1 Notice and Effective Date. The Option may be exercised, in whole or in part, by delivering to PNC written notice of such exercise, in such form as PNC may from time to time prescribe, and by paying in full the aggregate Option Price with respect to that portion of the Option being exercised and satisfying any amounts required to be withheld pursuant to applicable tax laws in connection with such exercise.

In addition, notwithstanding Sections 4.2 and 4.3, Optionee may elect to complete his or her Option exercise through a brokerage service/margin account pursuant to the broker-assisted cashless option exercise procedure under Regulation T of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and in such manner as may be permitted by PNC from time to time consistent with said Regulation T.

The effective date of such exercise will be the Exercise Date. Until PNC notifies Optionee to the contrary, the form attached to the Agreement as Annex B shall be used to exercise the Option and the form attached to the Agreement as Annex C shall be used to make tax payment elections.

In the event that the Option is exercised, pursuant to Section 2.3, by any person or persons other than Optionee, such notice of exercise must be accompanied by appropriate proof of the derivative right of such person or persons to exercise the Option.

4.2 Payment of Option Price. Upon exercise of the Option, in whole or in part, Optionee may pay the aggregate Option Price (a) in cash or (b) if and to the extent then permitted by PNC, using whole shares of PNC common stock (either by physical delivery to PNC of certificates for the shares or through PNC’s share attestation procedure) having an aggregate Fair Market Value on the Exercise Date not exceeding that portion of the aggregate Option Price being paid using such shares, or through a combination of cash and shares of PNC common stock; provided, however, that shares of PNC common stock used to pay all or any portion of the aggregate Option Price may not be subject to any contractual restriction, pledge or other encumbrance and must be shares that have been owned by Optionee for at least six (6) months prior to the Exercise Date and, in the case of restricted stock, for which it has been at least six (6) months since the restrictions lapsed, or, in either case, for such other period as may be specified or permitted by PNC.

4.3 Payment of Taxes. Optionee may elect to satisfy any or all applicable federal, state, or local tax liabilities incurred in connection with exercise of the Option (a) by payment of cash, (b) if and to the extent then permitted by PNC and subject to such terms and conditions as PNC may from time to time establish, through the retention by PNC of sufficient whole shares of PNC common stock otherwise issuable upon such exercise to satisfy the minimum amount of taxes required to be withheld in connection with such exercise, or (c) if and to the extent then permitted by PNC and subject to such terms and conditions as PNC may from time to time establish, using whole shares of PNC common stock (either by physical delivery to PNC of certificates for the shares or through PNC’s share attestation procedure) that are not subject to any contractual restriction, pledge or other encumbrance and that have been owned by Optionee for at least six (6) months prior to the Exercise Date and, in the case of restricted stock, for which it has been at least six (6) months since the restrictions lapsed, or, in either case, for such other period as may be specified or permitted by PNC.

For purposes of this Section 4.3, shares of PNC common stock that are used to satisfy applicable taxes will be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date the tax withholding obligation arises. In no event will the Fair Market Value of the shares of PNC common stock otherwise issuable upon exercise of the Option but retained pursuant to Section 4.3(b) exceed the minimum amount of taxes required to be withheld in connection with the Option exercise.

4.4 Effect. The exercise, in whole or in part, of the Option will cause a reduction in the number of unexercised Covered Shares as to which the Option is outstanding equal to the number of shares of PNC common stock with respect to which the Option is exercised.

5. Restrictions on Exercise and on Shares Issued on Exercise. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, the Option may not be exercised at any time that PNC does not have in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 as amended relating to the offer of shares of PNC common stock under the Plan unless PNC

agrees to permit such exercise. Upon the issuance of any shares of PNC common stock pursuant to exercise of the Option at a time when such a registration statement is not in effect, Optionee will, upon the request of PNC, agree in writing that Optionee is acquiring such shares for investment only and not with a view to resale and that Optionee will not sell, pledge, or otherwise dispose of such shares unless and until (a) PNC is furnished with an opinion of counsel to the effect that registration of such shares pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 as amended is not required by that Act or by rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, (b) the staff of the SEC has issued a no-action letter with respect to such disposition, or (c) such registration or notification as is, in the opinion of counsel for PNC, required for the lawful disposition of such shares has been filed and has become effective; provided, however, that PNC is not obligated hereby to file any such registration or notification. PNC may place a legend embodying such restrictions on the certificate(s) evidencing such shares.

6. Rights as Shareholder. Optionee will have no rights as a shareholder with respect to any Covered Shares until the Exercise Date and then only with respect to those shares of PNC common stock issued upon such exercise of the Option and not retained as provided in Section 4.3.

7. Employment. Neither the granting of the Option evidenced by the Agreement nor any term or provision of the Agreement will constitute or be evidence of any understanding, expressed or implied, on the part of PNC or any subsidiary to employ Optionee for any period.

8. Subject to the Plan. The Option evidenced by the Agreement and the exercise thereof are subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, which is incorporated by reference herein and made a part hereof, but the terms of the Plan will not be considered an enlargement of any benefits under the Agreement. In addition, the Option is subject to any rules and regulations promulgated by or under the authority of the Committee.

9. Optionee Covenants.

9.1 General. Optionee and PNC acknowledge and agree that Optionee has received adequate consideration with respect to enforcement of the provisions of Sections 9 and 10 hereof by virtue of receiving this Option, which gives Optionee an opportunity potentially to benefit from an increase in the future value of PNC common stock (regardless of whether any such benefit is ultimately realized); that such provisions are reasonable and properly required for the adequate protection of the business of PNC and its subsidiaries; and that enforcement of such provisions will not prevent Optionee from earning a living.

9.2 Non-Solicitation; No-Hire. Optionee agrees to comply with the provisions of subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 9.2 while employed by the Corporation and for a period of twelve (12) months after Optionee’s Termination Date regardless of the reason for such termination of employment.

(a) Non-Solicitation. Optionee shall not, directly or indirectly, either for Optionee’s own benefit or purpose or for the benefit or purpose of any Person other than PNC or any of its subsidiaries, solicit, call on, do business with, or actively interfere with PNC’s or any subsidiary’s relationship with, or attempt to divert or entice away, any Person that Optionee should reasonably know (i) is a customer of PNC or any subsidiary for which PNC or any subsidiary provides any services as of the Termination Date, or (ii) was a customer of PNC or any subsidiary for which PNC or any subsidiary provided any services at any time during the twelve (12) months preceding the Termination Date, or (iii) was, as of the Termination Date, considering retention of PNC or any subsidiary to provide any services.

Optionee shall not, directly or indirectly, either for Optionee’s own benefit or purpose or for the benefit or purpose of any Person other than PNC or any of its subsidiaries, employ or offer to employ, call on, or actively interfere with PNC’s or any subsidiary’s relationship with, or attempt to divert or entice away, any employee of PNC or any of its subsidiaries, nor shall Optionee assist any other Person in such activities.

Notwithstanding the above, if Optionee’s employment with the Corporation is terminated by the Corporation without Cause or by Optionee with Good Reason and such Termination Date occurs during a Coverage Period (either as Coverage Period is defined in Section A.13 of Annex A or, if Optionee was a party to a CIC Severance Agreement that was in effect at the time of such termination of employment, as Coverage Period is defined in such CIC Severance Agreement, if longer), then commencing immediately after such Termination Date, the provisions of subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 9.2 shall no longer apply and shall be replaced with the following subsection (c):

(c) No-Hire. Optionee agrees that Optionee shall not, for a period of twelve (12) months after the Termination Date, employ or offer to employ, solicit, actively interfere with PNC’s or any PNC affiliate’s relationship with, or attempt to divert or entice away, any officer of PNC or any PNC affiliate.

9.3 Confidentiality. During Optionee’s employment with the Corporation, and thereafter regardless of the reason for termination of such employment, Optionee will not disclose or use in any way any confidential business or technical information or trade secret acquired in the course of such employment, all of which is the exclusive and valuable property of the Corporation whether or not conceived of or prepared by Optionee, other than (a) information generally known in the Corporation’s industry or acquired from public sources, (b) as required in the course of employment by the Corporation, (c) as required by any court, supervisory authority, administrative agency or applicable law, or (d) with the prior written consent of PNC.

9.4 Ownership of Inventions. Optionee shall promptly and fully disclose to PNC any and all inventions, discoveries, improvements, ideas or other works of inventorship or authorship, whether or not patentable, that have been or will be conceived and/or reduced to practice by Optionee during the term of Optionee’s employment with the Corporation, whether alone or with others, and that are (a) related directly or indirectly to the business or activities of PNC or any of its subsidiaries or (b) developed with the use of any time, material, facilities or other resources of PNC or any subsidiary (“Developments”). Optionee agrees to assign and hereby does assign to PNC or its designee all of Optionee’s right, title and interest, including copyrights and patent rights, in and to all Developments. Optionee shall perform all actions and execute all instruments that PNC or any subsidiary shall deem necessary to protect or record PNC’s or its designee’s interests in the Developments. The obligations of this Section 9.4 shall be performed by Optionee without further compensation and shall continue beyond the Termination Date.

10. Enforcement Provisions. Optionee understands and agrees to the following provisions regarding enforcement of the Agreement.

10.1 Governing Law and Jurisdiction. The Agreement is governed by and construed under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without reference to its conflict of laws provisions.

If it becomes necessary or desirable for the Corporation to seek compliance with the provisions of Section 9.2 by legal proceedings, the period during which Optionee shall comply with said provisions will extend for a period of twelve (12) months from the date the Corporation institutes legal proceedings for injunctive or other relief.

10.4 No Waiver. Failure of PNC to demand strict compliance with any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of such term, covenant or condition, nor shall any waiver or relinquishment of any such term, covenant or condition on any occasion or on multiple occasions be deemed a waiver or relinquishment of such term, covenant or condition.

10.5 Severability. The restrictions and obligations imposed by Sections 9.2, 9.3 and 9.4 are separate and severable, and it is the intent of Optionee and PNC that if any restriction or obligation imposed by any of these provisions is deemed by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void for any reason whatsoever, the remaining provisions, restrictions and obligations shall remain valid and binding upon Optionee.

10.6 Reform. In the event any of Sections 9.2, 9.3 and 9.4 are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable because unreasonable either as to length of time or area to which said restriction applies, it is the intent of Optionee and PNC that said court reduce and reform the provisions thereof so as to apply the greatest limitations considered enforceable by the court.

11. Compliance with Internal Revenue Code Section 409A. To the extent that any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement or of the Option may result in the application of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code to this Option, PNC may, without the consent of Optionee, modify the Agreement and the Option to the extent and in the manner PNC deems necessary or advisable in order to allow the Option to be excluded from the definition of “deferred compensation” within the meaning of such Section 409A or in order to comply with the provisions of Section 409A, other applicable provision(s) of the Internal Revenue Code, and/or any rules, regulations or other regulatory guidance issued under such statutory provisions.

For purposes of the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), no act or failure to act, on the part of Optionee, shall be considered willful unless it is done, or omitted to be done, by Optionee in bad faith and without reasonable belief that Optionee’s action or omission was in the best interests of the Corporation.

(i) the willful and continued failure of Optionee to substantially perform Optionee’s duties with the Corporation (other than any such failure resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental illness), after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to Optionee by PNC that specifically identifies the manner in which it is believed that Optionee has not substantially performed Optionee’s duties;

(ii) a material breach by Optionee of (1) any code of conduct of PNC or one of its subsidiaries or (2) other written policy of PNC or a subsidiary, in either case required by law or established to maintain compliance with applicable law;

If the vested portion of the Option (or the entire Option if fully vested) will expire on Optionee’s Termination Date unless the conditions set forth in this Section A.18(c)(5) are met, then such vested Option or portion thereof will not terminate on the Termination Date, but Optionee will not be able to exercise the Option after such Termination Date unless and until all of the conditions set forth in this Section A.18(c)(5) have been met and the Option will terminate on the ninetieth (90^th) day after Optionee’s Termination Date (but in no event later than on the tenth (10^th) anniversary of the Grant Date).

2. Grant of Restricted Shares. Pursuant to The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. 2006 Incentive Award Plan (the “Plan”), and subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, PNC hereby grants to the Grantee named above (“Grantee”) a Restricted Shares Award of the number of shares of PNC common stock set forth above, and, upon acceptance of the Grant by Grantee in accordance with Section 17, will cause the issuance of said shares to Grantee subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement and the Plan.

The shares granted and issued to Grantee hereby as a Restricted Shares Award subject to the restrictions set forth in and the terms and conditions of the Agreement and the Plan are hereafter referred to as the “Restricted Shares.”

3. Terms of Grant. The Grant is subject to the following terms and conditions.

Restricted Shares will be subject to a Restricted Period as provided in Section A.26 of Annex A. Once issued in accordance with Section 17, Restricted Shares will be deposited with PNC or its designee, or credited to a book-entry account, during the term of the Restricted Period unless and until forfeited pursuant to the terms of the Agreement.

“This certificate and the shares of stock represented hereby are subject to the terms and conditions (including forfeiture and restrictions against transfer) contained in The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. 2006 Incentive Award Plan and an Agreement entered into between the registered owner and The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. Release from such terms and conditions will be made only in accordance with the provisions of such Plan and such Agreement, a copy of each of which is on file in the office of the Corporate Secretary of The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc.”

Where a book-entry system is used with respect to the issuance of Restricted Shares, appropriate notation of such forfeiture possibility and transfer restrictions will be made on the system with respect to the account or accounts to which the Restricted Shares are credited.

Restricted Shares deposited with PNC or its designee during the term of the Restricted Period that become Awarded Shares as provided in Section A.2 of Annex A will be released and reissued to, or at the proper direction of, Grantee or Grantee’s legal representative pursuant to Section 9 as soon as administratively practicable following the end of the Restricted Period.

4. Rights as Shareholder. Except as provided in Section 6 and subject to Section 7.6(c), if applicable, and to Section 17, Grantee will have all the rights and privileges of a shareholder with respect to the Restricted Shares including, but not limited to, the right to vote the Restricted Shares and the right to receive dividends thereon if and when declared by the Board; provided, however, that all such rights and privileges will cease immediately upon any forfeiture of such shares.

5. Capital Adjustments. Restricted Shares awarded hereunder will, as issued and outstanding shares of PNC common stock, be subject to such adjustment as may be necessary to reflect corporate transactions, including, without limitation, stock dividends, stock splits, spin-offs, split-offs, recapitalizations, mergers, consolidations or reorganizations of or by PNC; provided, however, that any shares received as distributions on or in exchange for Unvested Shares will be subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement as if they were Restricted Shares.

6. Prohibitions Against Sale, Assignment, etc. Unvested Shares may not be sold, assigned, transferred, exchanged, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise encumbered, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or as may be required pursuant to Section 10.2, unless and until the Restricted Period terminates and the Awarded Shares are released and reissued by PNC pursuant to Section 9.

7. Forfeiture; Death; Qualifying Disability or Retirement Termination; Termination in Anticipation of Change in Control; Other Terminations.

7.1 Forfeiture on Termination of Employment. Except as otherwise provided in and subject to the conditions of Section 7.3, Section 7.4(a), Section 7.5(a), Section 7.6(a), Section 7.6(b), Section 7.7, or Section 8, if applicable, in the event that Grantee’s employment with the Corporation terminates prior to the third (3^rd) anniversary of the Grant Date, all Restricted Shares that are Unvested Shares on Grantee’s Termination Date will be forfeited by Grantee to PNC without payment of any consideration by PNC.

Upon forfeiture of Unvested Shares pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.1 or the provisions of Section 7.2, Section 7.4(b), Section 7.5(b), or Section 7.6(d), neither Grantee nor any successors, heirs, assigns or legal representatives of Grantee will thereafter have any further rights or interest in such Unvested Shares or any certificate or certificates representing such Unvested Shares.

7.2 Forfeiture for Detrimental Conduct. Unvested Shares that would otherwise remain outstanding after Grantee’s Termination Date, if any, will be forfeited by Grantee to PNC without payment of any consideration by PNC in the event that, at any time prior to the date such shares become Awarded Shares, PNC determines that Grantee has engaged in Detrimental Conduct; provided, however, that: (a) this Section 7.2 will not apply to Restricted Shares that remain outstanding after Grantee’s Termination Date pursuant to Section 7.3 or Section 7.6, if any; (b) no determination that Grantee has engaged in Detrimental Conduct may be made on or after the date of Grantee’s death; (c) Detrimental Conduct will not apply to conduct by or activities of successors to the Restricted Shares by will or the laws of descent and distribution in the event of Xxxxxxx’s death; and (d) Detrimental Conduct will cease to apply to any Restricted Shares upon a Change in Control.

7.3 Death. In the event of Xxxxxxx’s death while an employee of the Corporation and prior to the third (3^rd) anniversary of the Grant Date, the Three-Year Continued Employment Performance Goal will be deemed to have been achieved, and the Restricted Period with respect to all then outstanding Unvested Shares, if any, will terminate on the date of Xxxxxxx’s death.

The Restricted Shares which thereby become Awarded Shares will be released and reissued by PNC to, or at the proper direction of, Xxxxxxx’s legal representative pursuant to Section 9 as soon as administratively practicable following such date.

7.4 Qualifying Disability Termination.

(a) In the event Xxxxxxx’s employment with the Corporation is terminated prior to the third (3^rd) anniversary of the Grant Date by the Corporation by reason of Xxxxxxx’s Total and Permanent Disability, Unvested Shares will not be automatically forfeited on Grantee’s Termination Date. Instead, Unvested Shares will, subject to the forfeiture provisions of Section 7.2 and Section 7.4(b), remain outstanding pending and subject to affirmative approval of the vesting of the Restricted Shares pursuant to this Section 7.4(a) by the Designated Person specified in Section A.14 of Annex A.

If such Unvested Shares are still outstanding but the Designated Person has not made a specific determination to either approve or disapprove the vesting of the Unvested Shares by the day immediately preceding the third (3^rd) anniversary of the Grant Date, then the Restricted Period will be automatically extended through the first to occur of: (1) the day the Designated Person makes a specific determination regarding such vesting; and (2) either (i) the ninetieth (90^th) day following the third (3^rd) anniversary of the Grant Date, if the Designated Person is the Chief Human Resources Officer of PNC, or (ii) the 180^th day following such anniversary date if the Designated Person is the Personnel and Compensation Committee of the Board, whichever is applicable.

If the vesting of the then outstanding Unvested Shares is affirmatively approved by the Designated Person on or prior to the last day of the Restricted Period, including any extension of the Restricted Period, if applicable, then the Three-Year Continued Employment Performance Goal will be deemed to have been achieved, and the Restricted Period with respect to all then outstanding Unvested Shares, if any, will terminate as of the end of the day on the date of such approval or the day immediately preceding the third (3^rd) anniversary of the Grant Date, whichever is later. The Restricted Shares outstanding at the termination of the Restricted Period will become Awarded Shares and will be released and reissued by PNC pursuant to Section 9.

(b) If the Designated Person disapproves the vesting of the Unvested Shares that had remained outstanding after Grantee’s Termination Date pending and subject to affirmative approval of vesting, then all such Unvested Shares that are still outstanding will be forfeited by Grantee to PNC on such disapproval date without payment of any consideration by PNC.

If by the end of the Restricted Period, including any extension of the Restricted Period pursuant to the second paragraph of Section 7.4(a), if applicable, the Designated Person has neither affirmatively approved nor specifically disapproved the vesting of the Unvested Shares that had remained outstanding after Grantee’s Termination Date pending and subject to affirmative approval of vesting, then all such Unvested Shares that are still outstanding will be forfeited by Grantee to PNC at the close of business on the last day of the Restricted Period without payment of any consideration by PNC.

7.5 Qualifying Retirement.

(a) In the event that Grantee Retires on or after the first (1^st) anniversary of the Grant Date but prior to the third (3^rd) anniversary of the Grant Date, Unvested Shares will not be automatically forfeited on Xxxxxxx’s Termination Date. Instead, Unvested Shares will, subject to the forfeiture provisions of Section 7.2 and Section 7.5(b), remain outstanding pending and subject to affirmative approval of the vesting of the Restricted Shares pursuant to this Section 7.5(a) by the Designated Person specified in Section A.14 of Annex A.

If by the end of the Restricted Period, including any extension of the Restricted Period pursuant to the second paragraph of Section 7.5(a), if applicable, the Designated Person has neither affirmatively approved nor specifically disapproved the vesting of the Unvested Shares that had remained outstanding after Grantee’s Termination Date pending and subject to affirmative approval of vesting, then all such Unvested Shares that are still outstanding will be forfeited by Grantee to PNC at the close of business on the last day of the Restricted Period without payment of any consideration by PNC.

7.6 Termination in Anticipation of a Change in Control.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement to the contrary, if, after the occurrence of a CIC Triggering Event but prior to the occurrence of a CIC Failure or of the Change in Control triggered by the CIC Triggering Event and prior to the third (3^rd) anniversary of the Grant Date, Xxxxxxx’s employment is terminated (other than by reason of Xxxxxxx’s death) by the Corporation without Cause or by Grantee for Good Reason, or if Xxxxxxx’s employment is deemed to have been so terminated pursuant to Section 7.6(b), then: (i) the Three-Year Continued Employment Performance Goal will be deemed to have been achieved and the Restricted Period with respect to any then outstanding Unvested Shares will terminate as of the end of the day on the day immediately preceding Grantee’s Termination Date (or, in the case of a qualifying termination pursuant to Section 7.6(b), the date all of the conditions set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of the first or second paragraph, as the case may be, of Section 7.6(b) are met); and (ii) all Restricted Shares that thereby become Awarded Shares will be released and reissued by PNC pursuant to Section 9 as soon as administratively practicable following such date.

(b) Xxxxxxx’s employment will also be deemed to have been terminated by the Corporation without Cause after the occurrence of a CIC Triggering Event but prior to the occurrence of a CIC Failure or of the Change in Control triggered by the CIC Triggering Event for purposes of Section 7.6(a) if: (i) Grantee’s employment is terminated by the Corporation without Cause; (ii) such termination of employment (a) was at the request of a third party that has taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change in Control or (b) otherwise arose in anticipation of a Change in Control; and (iii) a CIC Triggering Event or a Change in Control occurs within three (3) months of such termination of employment.

Xxxxxxx’s employment will also be deemed to have been terminated by Grantee for Good Reason after the occurrence of a CIC Triggering Event but prior to a CIC Failure for purposes of Section 7.6(a) if: (i) Grantee terminates Grantee’s employment with Good Reason; (ii) the circumstance or event that constitutes Good Reason (a) occurs at the request of a third party that has taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change in Control or (b) otherwise arose in anticipation of a Change in Control; and (iii) a CIC Triggering Event or a Change in Control occurs within three (3) months of such termination of employment.

For purposes of this Section 7.6(b) only, Grantee will have the burden of proving that the requirements of clause (ii) of the first or second paragraph of this Section 7.6(b), as the case may be, have been met and the standard of proof to be met by Grantee will be clear and convincing evidence.

For purposes of this Section 7.6(b) only, the definition of Change in Control in Section A.6 of Annex A will exclude the proviso in Section A.6(a).

(c) If the Unvested Shares will be forfeited by Grantee to PNC by reason of Xxxxxxx’s termination of employment with the Corporation pursuant to Section 7.1 unless all of the conditions set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of the first or second paragraph, as the case may be, of Section 7.6(b) are met, then in the event that the record date for any dividend payable with respect to the Unvested Shares occurs on or after Xxxxxxx’s Termination Date but prior to the time all of the conditions set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of the first or second paragraph, as the case may be, of Section 7.6(b) have been met, such dividend will be held, without interest, pending and subject to satisfaction of all of such conditions. In the event that one or more of the conditions of Section 7.6(b) are not met, any dividend being held pending and subject to satisfaction of such conditions will be forfeited by Grantee to PNC without payment of any consideration by PNC.

(d) If the Unvested Shares will be forfeited by Grantee to PNC by reason of Xxxxxxx’s termination of employment with the Corporation pursuant to Section 7.1 unless all of the conditions set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of the first or second paragraph, as the case may be, of Section 7.6(b) are met, then the Restricted Shares will remain outstanding pending and subject to satisfaction of all of those conditions. Upon the failure of any required condition, all such Unvested Shares will be forfeited by Grantee to PNC on the date such failure occurs without payment of any consideration by PNC.

7.7 Other Terminations. In the event that Xxxxxxx’s employment with the Corporation will terminate prior to the third (3^rd) anniversary of the Grant Date, the Committee or its delegate may determine, in their sole discretion, with respect to some or all of the Unvested Shares outstanding as of the day prior to Grantee’s Termination Date, that (i) the Three-Year Continued Employment Performance Goal will be deemed to have been achieved and (ii) the Restricted Period with respect to such shares will terminate as of the end of the day on the day immediately preceding Grantee’s Termination Date, in which case such shares will become Awarded Shares as provided in Section A.2 of Annex A prior to Grantee’s termination of employment and will be released and reissued by PNC pursuant to Section 9.

In the alternative, if Xxxxxxx’s employment with the Corporation will terminate prior to the third (3^rd) anniversary of the Grant Date and Grantee’s Unvested Shares, if any, will be forfeited as of Grantee’s Termination Date pursuant to Section 7.1, the Committee or its delegate may, in their sole discretion, determine that Grantee will receive, prior to termination of employment, a grant of a number of Share Units or Restricted Share Units (“Units”) equal to all or a portion of the number of Unvested Shares that will be forfeited on Grantee’s Termination Date, such Units to be granted upon such terms and conditions as the Committee or its delegate may provide in the written agreement for such grant; provided, however, that any payment to be made by PNC upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the agreement for such Units will be made solely in cash.

Upon the determination of the Committee or its delegate in their discretion that Grantee will be entitled to a grant of Units pursuant to this Section 7.7, such grant will automatically become effective as of the day immediately prior to Grantee’s Termination Date, subject to execution by both parties of the Share Unit or Restricted Share Unit agreement for such grant, as applicable, and provided that in no event will the number of Units so granted exceed the number of Unvested Shares that are forfeited by Grantee.

This provision for the grant of Share Units or Restricted Share Units upon such determination by the Committee or its delegate is considered a feature of the Grant of the Restricted Shares, and the determination to make such a grant of Units will be considered an exercise of this feature of the Grant.

8. Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement to the contrary, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control: (i) if Grantee is an employee of the Corporation as of the day immediately preceding the Change in Control, the Three-Year Continued Employment Performance Goal will be deemed to have been achieved and the Restricted Period will terminate with respect to all then outstanding Unvested Shares, if any, as of the day immediately preceding the Change in Control; (ii) if Xxxxxxx’s employment with the Corporation terminated prior to the occurrence of the Change in Control but the Unvested Shares remained outstanding after such termination of employment pursuant to Section 7.4 or Section 7.5 and are still outstanding pending and subject to affirmative approval of the vesting of such shares by the Designated Person specified in Section A.14 of Annex A, then with respect to all Unvested Shares outstanding as of the day immediately preceding the Change in Control, such affirmative vesting approval will be deemed to have been given, the Three-Year Continued Employment Performance Goal will be deemed to have been achieved, and the Restricted Period will terminate, all as of the day immediately preceding the Change in Control; and (iii) all Restricted Shares that thereby become Awarded Shares will be released and reissued by PNC pursuant to Section 9 as soon as administratively practicable following such date.

9. Termination of Prohibitions. Following termination of the Restricted Period, PNC will release and issue or reissue the then outstanding whole Restricted Shares that have become Awarded Shares without the legend referred to in Section 3.

Upon release and issuance of shares that have become Awarded Shares, PNC or its designee will deliver such whole shares to, or at the proper direction of, Grantee or Xxxxxxx’s legal representative.

10. Payment of Taxes.

10.1 Internal Revenue Code Section 83(b) Election. In the event that Grantee makes an Internal Revenue Code Section 83(b) election with respect to the Restricted Shares, Grantee shall satisfy all then applicable federal, state or local withholding tax obligations arising from that election (a) by payment of cash or (b) if and to the extent then permitted by PNC and subject to such terms and conditions as PNC may from time to time establish, by physical delivery to PNC of certificates for whole shares of PNC common stock that are not subject to any contractual restriction, pledge or other encumbrance and that have been owned by Grantee for at least six (6) months and, in the case of restricted stock, for which it has been at least six (6) months since the restrictions lapsed, or by a combination of cash and such stock. Any such tax election shall be made pursuant to a form to be provided to Grantee by PNC on request. For purposes of this Section 10.1, shares of PNC common stock that are used to satisfy applicable withholding tax obligations will be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date the tax withholding obligation arises. Grantee will provide to PNC a copy of any Internal Revenue Code Section 83(b) election filed by Grantee with respect to the Restricted Shares not later than ten (10) days after the filing of such election.

10.2 Other Tax Liabilities. Where Grantee has not previously satisfied all applicable withholding tax obligations, PNC will, at the time the tax withholding obligation arises, retain sufficient whole shares of PNC common stock from the shares granted pursuant to the Agreement to satisfy the minimum amount of taxes then required to be withheld by the Corporation in connection with the Restricted Shares. For purposes of this Section 10.2, shares of PNC common stock retained to satisfy applicable withholding tax requirements will be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date the tax withholding obligation arises.

PNC will not retain more than the number of shares sufficient to satisfy the minimum amount of taxes then required to be withheld in connection with the Restricted Shares. If Grantee desires to have an additional amount withheld above the required minimum, up to Grantee’s W-4 obligation if higher, and if PNC so permits, Grantee may elect to satisfy this additional withholding either: (a) by payment of cash; or (b) if and to the extent then permitted by PNC and subject to such terms and conditions as PNC may from time to time establish, using whole shares of PNC common stock (either by physical delivery to PNC of certificates for the shares or through PNC’s share attestation procedure) that are not subject to any contractual restriction, pledge or other encumbrance and that have been owned by Grantee for at least six (6) months and, in the case of restricted stock, for which it has been at least six (6) months since the restrictions lapsed. Any such tax election shall be made pursuant to a form provided by PNC. Shares of PNC common stock that are used for this purpose will be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date the tax withholding obligation arises. If Xxxxxxx’s W-4 obligation does not exceed the required minimum withholding in connection with the Restricted Shares, no additional withholding may be made.

11. Employment. Neither the granting and issuance of the Restricted Shares nor any term or provision of the Agreement shall constitute or be evidence of any understanding, expressed or implied, on the part of PNC or any subsidiary to employ Grantee for any period or in any way alter Grantee’s status as an employee at will.

12. Subject to the Plan and the Committee.

Further, the Grant and the Agreement are subject to any interpretation of, and any rules and regulations issued by, the Committee or its delegate or under the authority of the Committee, whether made or issued before or after the Grant Date.

If such Unvested Shares are still outstanding but the Designated Person has not made a specific determination to either approve or disapprove the vesting of the Unvested Shares or relevant portion thereof by the day immediately preceding the third (3^rd) anniversary of the Grant Date in the case of First Tranche shares, or the fourth (4^th) or fifth (5^th) anniversary of the Grant Date in the case of Second or Third Tranche shares, respectively, then the Restricted Period applicable to such shares will be automatically extended through the first to occur of: (1) the day the Designated Person makes a specific determination regarding such vesting; and (2) either (i) the ninetieth (90^th) day following the third (3^rd) anniversary of the Grant Date in the case of First Tranche shares, or the fourth (4^th) or fifth (5^th) anniversary of the Grant Date in the case of Second or Third Tranche shares, respectively, if the Designated Person is the Chief Human Resources Officer of PNC, or (ii) the 180^th day following such anniversary date if the Designated Person is the Personnel and Compensation Committee of the Board, whichever is applicable.

If the vesting of the then outstanding Unvested Shares or relevant portion thereof is affirmatively approved by the Designated Person on or prior to the last day of the applicable Restricted Period, including any extension of such Restricted Period, if applicable, then the applicable Continued Employment Performance Goal will be deemed to have been achieved, and the Restricted Period with respect to all such Unvested Shares then outstanding, if any, will terminate as of the end of the day on the later of (i) the date of such approval and (ii) the day immediately preceding the third (3^rd) anniversary of the Grant Date in the case of First Tranche shares, or the fourth (4^th) or fifth (5^th) anniversary of the Grant Date in the case of Second or Third Tranche shares, respectively. The Restricted Shares outstanding at the termination of such applicable Restricted Period will become Awarded Shares and will be released and reissued by PNC pursuant to Section 9.

(b) If the Designated Person disapproves the vesting of Unvested Shares that had remained outstanding after Xxxxxxx’s Termination Date pending and subject to affirmative approval of vesting, then all such Unvested Shares that are still outstanding will be forfeited by Grantee to PNC on such disapproval date without payment of any consideration by PNC.

If by the end of the applicable Restricted Period, including any extension of such Restricted Period pursuant to the second paragraph of Section 7.4(a), if applicable, the Designated Person has neither affirmatively approved nor specifically disapproved the vesting of Unvested Shares that had remained outstanding after Grantee’s Termination Date pending and subject to affirmative approval of vesting, then all such Unvested Shares that are still outstanding will be forfeited by Grantee to PNC at the close of business on the last day of the applicable Restricted Period without payment of any consideration by PNC.

7.5 Other Terminations. In the event that Xxxxxxx’s employment with the Corporation will terminate prior to the fifth (5^th) anniversary of the Grant Date, whether by reason of Retirement or otherwise, the Committee or its

delegate may determine, in their sole discretion, with respect to some or all of the Unvested Shares outstanding as of the day prior to Grantee’s Termination Date, that (i) all applicable Continued Employment Performance Goals will be deemed to have been achieved and (ii) all applicable Restricted Periods with respect to such shares will terminate as of the end of the day on the day immediately preceding Grantee’s Termination Date, in which case such shares will become Awarded Shares as provided in Section A.2 of Annex A prior to Xxxxxxx’s termination of employment and will be released and reissued by PNC pursuant to Section 9.

In the alternative, if Xxxxxxx’s employment with the Corporation will terminate prior to the fifth (5^th) anniversary of the Grant Date and Grantee’s Unvested Shares, if any, will be forfeited as of Grantee’s Termination Date pursuant to Section 7.1, the Committee or its delegate may, in their sole discretion, determine that Grantee will receive, prior to termination of employment, a grant of a number of Share Units or Restricted Share Units (“Units”) equal to all or a portion of the number of Unvested Shares that will be forfeited on Grantee’s Termination Date, such Units to be granted upon such terms and conditions as the Committee or its delegate may provide in the written agreement for such grant; provided, however, that any payment to be made by PNC upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the agreement for such Units will be made solely in cash.

Upon the determination of the Committee or its delegate in their discretion that Grantee will be entitled to a grant of Units pursuant to this Section 7.5, such grant will automatically become effective as of the day immediately prior to Grantee’s Termination Date, subject to execution by both parties of the Share Unit or Restricted Share Unit agreement for such grant, as applicable, and provided that in no event will the number of Units so granted exceed the number of Unvested Shares that are forfeited by Grantee.

7.6 Termination in Anticipation of a Change in Control.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement to the contrary, if, after the occurrence of a CIC Triggering Event but prior to the occurrence of a CIC Failure or of the Change in Control triggered by the CIC Triggering Event and prior to the fifth (5^th) anniversary of the Grant Date, Xxxxxxx’s employment is terminated (other than by reason of Grantee’s death) by the Corporation without Cause or by Grantee for Good Reason, or if Xxxxxxx’s employment is deemed to have been so terminated pursuant to Section 7.6(b), then: (i) all remaining applicable Continued Employment Performance Goals will be deemed to have been achieved and the Restricted Period or Periods with respect to all then outstanding Unvested Shares, if any, will terminate as of the end of the day on the day immediately preceding Grantee’s Termination Date (or, in the case of a qualifying termination pursuant to Section 7.6(b), the date all of the conditions set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of the first or second paragraph, as the case may be, of Section 7.6(b) are met); and (ii) all Restricted Shares that thereby become Awarded Shares will be released and reissued by PNC pursuant to Section 9 as soon as administratively practicable following such date.

For purposes of this Section 7.6(b) only, the definition of Change in Control in Section A.6 of Annex A will exclude the proviso in Section A.6(a).

(c) If Unvested Shares will be forfeited by Grantee to PNC by reason of Grantee’s termination of employment with the Corporation pursuant to Section 7.1 unless all of the conditions set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of the first or second paragraph, as the case may be, of Section 7.6(b) are met, then in the event that the record date for any dividend payable with respect to such Unvested Shares occurs on or after Xxxxxxx’s Termination Date but prior to the time all of the conditions set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of the first or second paragraph, as the case may be, of Section 7.6(b) have been met, such dividend will be held, without interest, pending and subject to satisfaction of all of such conditions. In the event that one or more of the conditions of Section 7.6(b) are not met, any dividend being held pending and subject to satisfaction of such conditions will be forfeited by Grantee to PNC without payment of any consideration by PNC.

(d) If Unvested Shares will be forfeited by Grantee to PNC by reason of Grantee’s termination of employment with the Corporation pursuant to Section 7.1 unless all of the conditions set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of the first or second paragraph, as the case may be, of Section 7.6(b) are met, then such Restricted Shares will remain outstanding pending and subject to satisfaction of all of those conditions. Upon the failure of any required condition, all such Unvested Shares will be forfeited by Grantee to PNC on the date such failure occurs without payment of any consideration by PNC.

8. Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement to the contrary, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control: (i) if Grantee is an employee of the Corporation as of the day immediately preceding the Change in Control, all remaining applicable Continued Employment Performance Goals will be deemed to have been achieved and the Restricted Period or Periods with respect to all then outstanding Unvested Shares, if any, will terminate as of the day immediately preceding the Change in Control; (ii) if Xxxxxxx’s employment with the Corporation terminated prior to the occurrence of the Change in Control but Unvested Shares remained outstanding after such termination of employment pursuant to Section 7.4 and are still outstanding pending and subject to affirmative approval of the vesting of such shares by the Designated Person specified in Section A.15 of Annex A, then with respect to all such Unvested Shares outstanding as of the day immediately preceding the Change in Control, such affirmative vesting approval will be deemed to have been given, the applicable Continued Employment Performance Goal or Goals will be deemed to have been achieved, and the applicable Restricted Period or Periods will terminate, all as of the day immediately preceding the Change in Control; and (iii) all Restricted Shares that thereby become Awarded Shares will be released and reissued by PNC pursuant to Section 9 as soon as administratively practicable following such date.

9. Termination of Prohibitions. Following termination of the Restricted Period applicable to such shares, PNC will release and issue or reissue the then outstanding whole Restricted Shares that have become Awarded Shares without the legend referred to in Section 3.
