TARGET SHARE UNITS:		< whole number > Share Units

1. Definitions . Certain terms used in this 2008-2010 Incentive Performance Units Agreement (“Agreement”) are defined in Section 15 or elsewhere in the Agreement, and such definitions will apply except where the context otherwise indicates.

In the Agreement, “PNC” means The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc., “Corporation” means PNC and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, and “Plan” means The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. 2006 Incentive Award Plan.

2. Grant of 2008-2010 Incentive Performance Units . Pursuant to the Plan and subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, PNC hereby grants to the grantee named above (“Grant” and “Grantee”) a Share-denominated incentive award opportunity of Performance Units with the number of target Share Units set forth above (“Target Share Units”).

The Grant is subject to the corporate performance conditions, employment conditions, and other terms and conditions of this Agreement and to the Plan, to final

award determination, and to Grantee’s acceptance of the Grant in accordance with Section 20. Payment of any Final Award (as defined in Section 15.26) authorized pursuant to the Agreement will generally be made in shares of PNC common stock (“Shares”) up to the same number of Shares as the number set forth above as the number of Target Share Units (which is also the maximum number of Shares, subject to capital adjustments, if any, pursuant to Section 9, that may be paid with respect to the Performance Units hereunder). To the extent, if any, that the total Final Award amount exceeds the Target Share Units number set forth above, any remainder shall be paid in cash Share-equivalents.

In general, the Grant is an opportunity for Grantee to receive, at the end of the applicable performance period, an award of Shares and, if applicable, cash Share-equivalents, based on the degree to which specified corporate performance criteria have been achieved, as determined by the Committee (defined in Section 15.15) and subject to its negative discretion, or otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, provided that Grantee satisfies the employment conditions specified in the Agreement (or qualifies for a specified exception and is deemed to have satisfied those employment conditions) and the other conditions of the Agreement are met.

The potential maximum award payout that Grantee will be eligible to receive will be denominated in Share Units and will be expressed as a percentage of the Adjusted Target Share Units (defined in Section 15.1), which reflect adjustments for phantom dividends on target share units converted to additional target share units. The potential maximum award payout percentage will be determined by the levels of corporate performance that PNC achieves with respect to the performance criteria specified by the Committee relative to the corporate performance of PNC’s peers for each of the three years in the overall performance period and by the potential award payout schedules established by the Committee pursuant to Section 3.2, giving equal weight to each of the two specified corporate performance standards and to each of the three covered years, subject to certain limitations or adjustments if there is an early termination or limitation of the performance measurement period ( e.g. , if Grantee dies or has a qualifying retirement or if there is a Change in Control, as defined herein, during a performance measurement period).

Absent a Change in Control (as defined herein), the Committee will determine the Final Award, if any, that Grantee receives within this calculated maximum potential payout amount, generally in early 2011 (or early in 2009 or 2010 in the event of Grantee’s death prior to that time). The Committee may adjust the Final Award downward, but not upward, from this calculated performance-based amount. This potential award payout amount could be as high as 200% of the Adjusted Target Share Units if PNC outperforms its peers with respect to both of the specified corporate performance standards for each year of the three-year performance period and if Grantee remains an employee of the Corporation throughout the full three-year performance period, or it could be zero if PNC fails to achieve at least the threshold level of corporate performance specified for an award in the Agreement schedules with respect to such performance standards and years.

Any Final Award payout authorized pursuant to this Grant will generally be paid in Shares up to the same number of Shares as the number set forth above as the number of Target Share Units, and any remainder will be paid in cash Share-equivalents. The Grant must still be outstanding at the time Final Award determinations are made for Grantee to be eligible to receive an award, and Final Awards and payment are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement and to the Plan.

The Agreement also provides a formula for calculation of the Final Award in the event of a Change in Control of PNC and for the form and timing of payment of any such award.

3. Corporate Performance Conditions . The Grant is subject to the following corporate performance conditions.

3.1 Performance Criteria . The corporate performance standards established by the Committee as the performance criteria for this incentive award opportunity are the levels of EPS Growth performance and ROCE performance, as defined in Section 15.23 and Section 15.50, respectively, achieved by PNC as measured against the levels of EPS Growth performance and ROCE performance, respectively, of the other Peer Group members.

3.2 Annual Peer Group and Accompanying Annual Potential Payout Calculation Schedules . The Committee will establish the Annual Peer Group and the accompanying Annual Potential Payout Calculation Schedules for each year of the Performance Period as Schedules with respect to this Grant no later than the 90 ^th day of that year, at which time the Schedules for that year will become final. Each Annual Potential Payout Calculation Schedule will provide a threshold level of corporate performance below which there will be no eligibility for an award payout with respect to corporate performance for that year.

Once the Annual Peer Group and accompanying Annual Potential Payout Calculation Schedules for a given year are established and final, the Committee will not change the Schedules with respect to that year other than to reflect Peer name changes or the elimination from the Peer Group of any members that have been eliminated since the beginning of the year due, for example, to consolidations, mergers or other material corporate reorganizations. Peer Group members that have been eliminated during the year will not be replaced for that year (or portion of a year where a limited-year calculation applies), but may be replaced when the Committee establishes the Annual Peer Group for the following year.

3.3 Calculation of Applicable Annual Potential Payout Percentages . After the end of each year of the Performance Period, PNC will: (1) determine the EPS Growth and ROCE performance for the applicable period for PNC and for each other member of the applicable Annual Peer Group remaining at the end of the period in accordance with the definitions set forth in Section 15; and (2) calculate the Annual Potential Payout Percentage, as defined in Section 15.3, achieved by PNC for that year. Such results will be presented to the Committee.

January 2008

Where the Agreement requires the calculation of an Annual Potential Payout Percentage for a given period that is less than a full year ( e.g. , upon certain qualifying terminations or Change in Control), PNC will determine PNC and other Peer EPS Growth and ROCE performance and the Limited-Year Annual Potential Payout Percentage for that limited period as so required by the Agreement.

4. Grantee Service Requirement and Limitation of Potential Award; Early Termination of Grant . The Grant is subject to the following employment conditions.

4.1 Eligibility for an Award; Employment Conditions and Early Termination of Grant . Grantee will not be eligible to receive a Final Award unless the Grant remains outstanding on the Committee-determined Award Date (as defined in Section 15.5) or as of the end of the day immediately preceding the day on which a Change in Control occurs, if earlier.

The Grant will automatically terminate on Grantee’s Termination Date (as defined in Section 15.56) unless an exception is available as set forth in Section 4.2, Section 4.3, Section 4.4 or Section 4.5. Where one or more of the conditions to an exception are post-employment conditions, the Grant will terminate upon the failure of any of those conditions.

In the event that Grantee’s employment is terminated by the Corporation for Cause (as defined in Section 15.8), the Grant will automatically terminate on Grantee’s Termination Date whether or not the termination might otherwise have qualified for an exception as a retirement or a disability termination pursuant to Section 4.3 or Section 4.4.

In the limited circumstances where the Grant remains outstanding notwithstanding Grantee’s termination of employment with the Corporation, Grantee will be eligible for consideration for an award, subject to limitation as set forth in the applicable section of the Agreement. Said award, if any, will be determined and payable at the same time as the awards of those 2008-2010 Incentive Performance Units grantees who remain Corporation employees, except that in the case of death, the determination and payment of said award, if any, shall be accelerated if so indicated in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 5 or Section 6, as applicable, and Section 7.

Any award that the Committee may determine to make after Grantee’s death will be paid to Grantee’s legal representative, as determined in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with Section 10.

Notwithstanding anything in Section 4 or Section 5 to the contrary, if a Change in Control (as defined in Section 15.10) occurs prior to the time the Committee makes a Final Award determination pursuant to Section 5.2 (that is, prior to the Committee-determined Award Date), an award will be determined in accordance with Section 6.

January 2008

4.2 Death While an Employee . If Grantee dies while an employee of the Corporation and prior to the Committee-determined Award Date, the Grant will remain outstanding and Grantee will be eligible for consideration for a prorated award calculated in accordance with Section 5.1(b), with an applicable performance measurement date (as defined in Section 5.1) of the earlier of the last day of the year in which the death occurred and December 31, 2010, and with adjustments to Adjusted Target Share Units calculated through that December 31st, and payable in accordance with Section 7.

In the event that a Change in Control occurs prior to the time the Committee makes an award determination with respect to Grantee (either to award a specified amount or not to authorize any award), an award will be deemed to be made pursuant to Section 6, calculated as specified in Section 6.1(b) and payable in accordance with Section 7.

4.3 Qualifying Retirement . If Grantee Retires (as defined in Section 15.48) prior to the Committee-determined Award Date and the termination of employment is not also a termination by the Corporation for Cause, the Grant will remain outstanding post-employment; provided , however , that PNC may terminate the Grant at any time prior to the Award Date, other than during a CIC Coverage Period, upon determination that Grantee has engaged in Detrimental Conduct (as defined in Section 15.19). If Grantee is Disabled (as defined in Section 15.20) at the time of Retirement and Section 4.4 is also applicable to Grantee, that subsection will govern rather than this Section 4.3.

Provided that the Grant has not been terminated prior to the award date for Detrimental Conduct and is still outstanding at that time, Grantee will be eligible for Committee consideration of a prorated award at the time that awards are considered for those 2008-2010 Incentive Performance Unit grantees who remain Corporation employees, calculated in accordance with Section 5.1(c) with a performance measurement date of the last day of the last full quarter completed on or prior to Grantee’s Retirement date, but in no event later than December 31, 2010, and with adjustments to Adjusted Target Share Units calculated through that same performance measurement date, and payable in accordance with Section 7.

If Grantee dies after a qualifying Retirement but before the time set forth above for consideration of an award and provided that the Grant has not been terminated for Detrimental Conduct and is still outstanding at the time of Grantee’s death, the

January 2008

-5-

Committee may consider an award for Grantee and make an award determination with respect to Grantee (either to award a specified amount or not to authorize any award). Any such award determination will be made and such award, if any, will be calculated in accordance with Section 5.1(c) as described above but will be paid in accordance with Section 7 during the calendar year immediately following the year in which Grantee’s death occurs, if the death occurs on or prior to December 31, 2010, or in 2011 if the death occurs in 2011 but prior to the Award Date.

In the event that a Change in Control occurs prior to a Committee-determined Award Date, an award will be deemed to be made pursuant to Section 6, calculated as specified in Section 6.1(c) and payable in accordance with Section 7.

4.4 Qualifying Disability Termination . If Grantee’s employment with the Corporation is terminated by reason of Disability (as defined in Section 15.20) prior to the Committee-determined Award Date and the termination of employment is not also a termination by the Corporation for Cause, the Grant will remain outstanding post-employment; provided , however , that PNC may terminate the Grant at any time prior to the Award Date, other than during a CIC Coverage Period, upon determination that Grantee has engaged in Detrimental Conduct (as defined in Section 15.19).

Provided that the Grant is still outstanding at that time, Grantee will be eligible for Committee consideration of a full award at the time that awards are considered for those 2008-2010 Incentive Performance Units grantees who remain Corporation employees, calculated in accordance with Section 5.1(d), and payable in accordance with Section 7.

Any such award will be subject to Committee determination pursuant to Section 5.2, and may be reduced or eliminated by the Committee in the exercise of its negative discretion unless such determination occurs during a CIC Coverage Period. Although Grantee will be eligible for consideration for a full award (Standard Payout Calculation) at the scheduled time, it is anticipated that the Committee will take into account the timing and circumstances of the disability when deciding whether and the extent to which to exercise its negative discretion.

If Grantee dies after a qualifying disability termination but before the time set forth above for consideration of an award and provided that the Grant has not been terminated for Detrimental Conduct and is still outstanding at the time of Grantee’s death, the Committee may consider an award for Grantee and make an award determination with respect to Grantee (either to award a specified amount or not to authorize any award). Any such award determination will be made and such award, if any, will be paid in accordance with Section 7 during the year immediately following the year in which Grantee’s death occurs, if the death occurs on or prior to December 31, 2010, or in 2011 if the death occurs in 2011 but prior to the Award Date; provided , however , that the maximum award that may be approved in these circumstances is the award that could have been authorized had Grantee died while an employee of the Corporation.

4.5 Qualifying Termination in Anticipation of a Change in Control . If Grantee’s termination of employment satisfies the conditions set forth in Section 15.46 such that it is a Qualifying Termination in Anticipation of a Change in Control, then the Grant will remain outstanding notwithstanding Grantee’s termination of employment with the Corporation and the Grant will not be subject to termination for Detrimental Conduct.

To the extent that the conditions set forth in Section 15.46 are conditions that must be satisfied during a stated post-employment period, the Grant will remain outstanding during that period until it is determined that such conditions either have or have not been satisfied. If the conditions are not satisfied, the Grant will terminate unless Grantee meets one of the other exceptions set forth in this Section 4.

If all of the conditions set forth in Section 15.46 are satisfied, Grantee will be eligible for consideration for an award pursuant to Section 5.2, calculated in accordance with Section 5.1(e), or will receive an award pursuant to Section 6, calculated as specified in Section 6.1(e), as applicable. Any such award will be payable in accordance with Section 7.

If Grantee dies after a Qualifying Termination in Anticipation of a Change in Control but prior to the time the Committee makes an award determination pursuant to Section 5.2 or a Change-in-Control-determined Award Date, Grantee will be eligible for Committee consideration of an award of the greater of the award Grantee could have received had he or she died while an employee of the Corporation or an award determined as set forth in Section 5.1(e). If a Change in Control occurs prior to a Committee-determined Award Date, Grantee will be deemed to receive an award in accordance with Section 6.

5. Certification of Performance Results; Calculation of Maximum Potential Payout Amount; and Final Award Determination .

5.1 Certification of Level of Achievement of Corporate Performance with respect to Performance Criteria; Calculation of Final Potential Payout Percentage and Calculated Maximum Potential Payout Amount . As soon as practicable after December 31, 2010, or after the earlier relevant date if the applicable performance measurement date and potential award date are earlier under the circumstances, PNC will present information to the Committee concerning the following: (1) the levels of EPS Growth performance and ROCE performance achieved by PNC and the other members of the applicable Annual Peer Group for each of the applicable full and partial years for which performance is being measured under the circumstances; (2) the calculated Annual Potential Payout Percentages determined in accordance with the applicable Schedules for such full and partial years on the basis of the levels of such EPS Growth performance and ROCE performance achieved by PNC relative to the other Peers for such periods; and (3) the calculated Final Potential Payout Percentage.

January 2008

Subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) below set forth additional criteria for the certifications and calculations to be made pursuant to this Section 5.1 under varying circumstances. The last day of the applicable performance measurement period is sometimes referred to as the “performance measurement date”. The time when the certification, calculation and Final Award determination process will take place is sometimes referred to as the “scheduled award-determination period”, and the date when a Final Award, if any, is determined and made by the Committee is sometimes referred to as the “Committee-determined Award Date” (as set forth in Section 15.5).

(v) the scheduled award-determination period will occur in early 2011.

(b) Death While an Employee . In the event that Grantee dies while an employee of the Corporation and prior to the regularly scheduled award date for non-exceptional circumstances in early 2011 and the Grant remains outstanding pursuant to Section 4.2, PNC will present information to the Committee for purposes of this Section 5.1 on the following basis:

(ii) the applicable Performance Period will be the period commencing on January 1, 2008 and ending on the applicable performance measurement date, and will consist of the one, two or three full years, as the case may be, in that period;

(iii) the applicable Final Potential Payout Percentage will be a Limited-Period Final Potential Payout Percentage and will be the percentage that is the average of the Annual Potential Payout Percentages for the full years in the applicable Performance Period specified above, but in no event greater than 200%;

(iv) the applicable Calculated Maximum Potential Payout Amount will be the number of Share Units equal to (x) the applicable Limited-Period Final Potential Payout Percentage of the Adjusted Target Share Units, with adjustments calculated through the December 31 ^st that is the applicable performance measurement date, then (y) prorated (as defined in Section 15.45) based on the number of full years in the applicable Performance Period specified above, including the year of death if prior to 2011; and

(v) the scheduled award-determination period will occur during the year immediately following the year in which Grantee died ( i.e. , early in 2009, 2010, or 2011, as the case may be) unless Grantee dies after December 31, 2010 but prior to the award date, in which case the scheduled award-determination period will occur in 2011.

(c) Retirement . In the event that Grantee Retires prior to the regularly scheduled award date for non-exceptional circumstances in early 2011 but Grantee has met the conditions for a qualifying retirement termination set forth in Section 4.3 and the Grant has not been terminated by PNC prior to the award date pursuant to Section 4.3 for Detrimental Conduct and remains outstanding, PNC will present information to the Committee for purposes of this Section 5.1 on the following basis:

(i) the applicable performance measurement date will be the last day of the last full quarter completed prior to Grantee’s Retirement date or, if the Retirement date is a quarter-end date, that quarter-end date, but in no event later than December 31, 2010;

(ii) the applicable limited Performance Period will be the period commencing on January 1, 2008 and ending on the applicable performance measurement date, and will consist of the full and partial years in that period;

Percentage of the Adjusted Target Share Units, with adjustments calculated through the quarter-end date that is the applicable performance measurement date, then (y) prorated (as defined in Section 15.45) based on the number of full quarters in the applicable limited Performance Period ( i.e. , in the period from January 1, 2008 through the quarter-end date that is the applicable performance measurement date specified above); and

(v) the scheduled award-determination period will occur in early 2011 as provided in Section 7.1, unless Grantee dies after Retirement but before the beginning of 2010, in which case the scheduled award-determination period will occur in early 2009 (if the death occurred in 2008) or early 2010 (if the death occurred in 2009), as the case may be.

In the event that Grantee is Disabled at the time of Retirement and Section 4.4 is also applicable to Grantee, then Section 5.1(d) will govern rather than this Section 5.1(c).

(d) Disability . Except as set forth in the following paragraph, in the event that Grantee becomes Disabled prior to the regularly scheduled award date for non-exceptional circumstances in early 2011 but Grantee has met the conditions for a qualifying disability termination set forth in Section 4.4 and the Grant has not been terminated by PNC prior to the award date pursuant to Section 4.4 for Detrimental Conduct and remains outstanding, PNC will present information to the Committee for purposes of this Section 5.1 for consideration of an award on the same basis as that set forth in Section 5.1(a) for a continuing employee of the Corporation, together with such information as the Committee may request concerning the timing and circumstances of the disability. The scheduled award-determination period will occur in early 2011 as provided in Section 7.1.

If Grantee dies after a qualifying disability termination but prior to the award date and the Grant remains outstanding, Grantee will be eligible for Committee consideration of an award at the time and up to the maximum amount of the award Grantee could have received had he or she died while an employee of the Corporation.

(e) Termination in Anticipation of a Change in Control . In the event that Grantee ceases to be an employee of the Corporation prior to the regularly scheduled award date for non-exceptional circumstances in early 2011 but Grantee has met the conditions for a Qualifying Termination in Anticipation of a Change in Control set forth in Section 4.5 and the Grant remains outstanding, but a Change in Control has not yet occurred, then:

(1) If a CIC Triggering Event (as defined in Section 15.14) has occurred and has not yet failed (as CIC Failure is defined herein) such that a Change in Control transaction is pending at the regularly scheduled award date, the Grant will remain outstanding and Grantee will be eligible to receive an award pursuant to Section 5.2 on the same basis as that set forth in Section 5.1(c) for a qualifying Retiree and the Committee will have no discretion to reduce the size of such award; and

January 2008

-10-

(2) If the CIC Triggering Event fails prior to the regularly scheduled award date (as CIC Failure is defined in Section 15.12), the Grant will remain outstanding and the Committee will have discretion to authorize an award, pursuant to Section 5.2, to Grantee up to a maximum permitted award calculated on the same basis as that set forth in Section 5.1(c) for a qualifying Retiree, but the Committee will also have discretion to reduce the award as set forth in Section 5.2(b).

If Grantee dies after a Qualifying Termination in Anticipation of a Change in Control but prior to the time the Committee makes an award determination pursuant to Section 5.2 or a Change-in-Control-determined Award Date, Grantee will be eligible for Committee consideration of an award of up to the greater of the award Grantee could have received had he or she died while an employee of the Corporation or an award determined as set forth above in this Section 5.1(e).

If a Change in Control occurs prior to a Committee-determined Award Date, Grantee will be deemed to receive an award in accordance with Section 6.

5.2 Final Award Determination by Committee .

(a) The Committee will have the authority to award to Grantee (“award”) as a Final Award such amount, denominated as a specified number of Share Units, as may be determined by the Committee, subject to the limitations set forth in the following paragraph, provided , that , the Grant is still outstanding, that Grantee is either still an employee of the Corporation or qualifies for an exception to the employment condition pursuant to Section 4.2, 4.3, 4.4 or 4.5, and that the Final Potential Payout Percentage is greater than zero.

The Final Award may not exceed the applicable Calculated Maximum Potential Payout Amount, as determined in accordance with the applicable section of Section 5.1, and is subject to the exercise of negative discretion by the Committee pursuant to Section 5.2(b), if applicable. The Committee will not have authority to exercise negative discretion if a CIC Coverage Period has commenced and has not yet ended; if there has been a Change in Control, the Committee’s authority is subject to Section 6.

The date on which the Committee makes its determination as to whether or not it will authorize an award and, if so, the size of a Final Award, if any, it authorizes within the Calculated Maximum Potential Payout Amount determined pursuant to the Agreement is sometimes referred to in the Agreement as the “Committee-determined Award Date” (as set forth in Section 15.5).

Payment of the Final Award, if any, will be made in accordance with Section 7. If Grantee dies after a Final Award is determined but before payment is made, payment of the Final Award will be made to Grantee’s legal representative, as determined in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with Section 10.

January 2008

-11-

(b) Except during a CIC Coverage Period or after the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Committee may exercise negative discretion with respect to the Grant and may determine, in light of such Corporation or individual performance or other factors as the Committee may deem appropriate, that notwithstanding the levels of EPS Growth and/or ROCE performance achieved by PNC relative to the other members of the Peer Group, the Committee will not award Grantee the full Calculated Maximum Potential Payout Amount that the Committee is authorized to award pursuant to Section 5.2(a), or any of such amount.

If the Committee so determines to exercise its negative discretion pursuant to this Section 5.2(b), the Final Award, if any, will be reduced accordingly; provided , however , that the Committee may not exercise such negative discretion upon or after the occurrence of a Change in Control (or during the period after the occurrence of a CIC Triggering Event but before such triggering event either results in a Change in Control or a CIC Failure of such event occurs).

(c) If a Change in Control occurs prior to the Committee-determined Award Date, the Final Award will be determined in accordance with Section 6 rather than being determined by the Committee pursuant to Section 5.2 and will not be subject to the Committee’s negative discretion.

6. Change in Control Prior to a Committee-Determined Award Date .

6.1 Final Award Calculation .

Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement to the contrary, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control at any time prior to a Committee-determined Award Date pursuant to Section 5.2, (i) the Performance Period, if not already ended, will be limited and will end on the last day of the last full quarter completed prior to the day the Change in Control occurs, or, if the Change in Control occurs on a quarter-end date, on the day the Change in Control occurs, but in no event later than December 31, 2010, (ii) if Dividend Adjustment Share Units were otherwise still accruing at the time, no further Dividend Adjustment Share Units will accrue and be added to the number of Adjusted Target Share Units after the last day of the Performance Period as so limited, and (iii) Grantee will be deemed to have been awarded a Final Award in an amount determined as set forth in this Section 6, payable to Grantee or Grantee’s legal representative at the time and in the manner set forth in Section 7, provided that the Grant is outstanding as of the end of the day immediately preceding the day on which the Change in Control occurs and has not already terminated or been terminated in accordance with the terms of Section 4.

If this Section 6 is applicable and a Final Award is deemed to be awarded pursuant to Section 6, the day the Change in Control occurs will be considered the Award Date for purposes of the Agreement. This date is sometimes referred to in the Agreement as the “Change-in-Control-determined Award Date” (as set forth in Section 15.5).

(a) Standard CIC Payout Calculation . Provided that Grantee is an employee of the Corporation and the Grant is outstanding as of the end of the day immediately preceding the day on which the Change in Control occurs such that Grantee remains eligible for an award, Grantee’s Final Award will be determined as follows:

(i) the applicable performance measurement date will be the last day of the last full quarter completed prior to the day the Change in Control occurs, or, if the Change in Control occurs on a quarter-end date, the day the Change in Control occurs, but in no event later than December 31, 2010;

(ii) the applicable Performance Period will be the period commencing on January 1, 2008 and ending on the applicable performance measurement date, and will consist of the full and partial years in that period;

(iii) the scheduled award-determination period will occur as soon as practicable after the occurrence of the Change in Control; and

(iv) a Final Award will be calculated in two parts (Part A and Part B), and the Final Award amount will be the sum of the amounts calculated for the Part A Award and the Part B Award as set forth below; provided , however , that the Part B Award is subject to Section 6.3 and that the Part B Award is not applicable in the limited circumstance where the Change in Control occurs on or after December 31, 2010 and the Part A Award is not prorated.

Part A Award : The Part A Award amount will be the number of Share Units equal to:

(1) the “CIC Payout Percentage” (calculated as set forth below) of the Adjusted Target Share Units, with adjustments calculated through the quarter-end date that is the applicable performance measurement date specified above, then, except where the Change in Control occurs on or after December 31, 2010 and therefore the applicable Performance Period covers a full three years,

(2) prorated (as defined in Section 15.45) based on the number of full quarters in the applicable limited Performance Period ( i.e. , in the period from January 1, 2008 through the quarter-end date that is the applicable performance measurement date specified above).

The “CIC Payout Percentage” will be (a) or (b) below, as applicable, (but in no event greater than 200%):

(a) if the Change in Control occurs prior to December 31, 2010, such that the Performance Period is less than three full years, the CIC Payout Percentage will be the higher of (1) 100% and (2) a Limited-Period Final Potential Payout Percentage calculated as set forth in Section 15.34 for the applicable limited Performance Period specified above; and

January 2008

-13-

(b) if the Change in Control occurs on or after December 31, 2010, the CIC Payout Percentage will be the average of the Annual Potential Payout Percentages for the full years 2008, 2009 and 2010.

Part B Award : Subject to Section 6.3, the Part B Award amount will be the number of Share Units equal to:

(1) 100% of the Adjusted Target Share Units, with adjustments calculated through the quarter-end date that is the applicable performance measurement date specified above, multiplied by

(2) the fraction equal to 1.00 minus the fraction used for the proration by quarters in the calculation of the Part A Award above.

If the calculation of the Part A Award above does not include a proration factor, the Part B Award will not be applicable.

If Grantee dies after the Change in Control occurs, Grantee’s Final Award determined pursuant to this Section 6.1(a) will be paid to Grantee’s legal representative, as determined in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with Section 10.

(b) Death . If Grantee died while an employee of the Corporation and a Final Award determination (either to award a specified amount or not to authorize any award) was made by the Committee pursuant to Section 5.2 prior to the Change in Control, no further or different award determination will be made pursuant to this Section 6.1.

In the event the Grantee died while an employee of the Corporation and qualified for consideration for an award pursuant to Section 4.2 but the Committee had not yet made an award determination (either to award a specified amount or not to authorize any award) with respect to Grantee at the time the Change in Control occurs such that Grantee remains eligible for an award, then the scheduled award-determination period will occur as soon as practicable after the occurrence of the Change in Control, and the amount of Grantee’s Final Award (payable to Grantee’s legal representative, as determined in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with Section 10) will be determined on the following basis, as applicable.

(1) If Grantee died in the calendar year prior to the Change in Control but the Committee had not yet made an award determination (either to award a specified amount or not to authorize any award) with respect to Grantee at the time the Change in Control occurs, Grantee’s Final Award will be in the amount of the Calculated Maximum Potential Payout Amount determined in the same manner as set forth in Section 5.1(b) but with no Committee discretion to reduce the amount of the award.

(2) If Grantee died in the same calendar year as the Change in Control, Grantee’s Final Award will be in the amount of the award that would have been

January 2008

-14-

payable to Grantee pursuant to the calculations set forth in Section 6.1(a), but substituting a Part B Award of zero Share Units for any Part B Award amount calculated pursuant to that section, had Grantee not died but had been an employee of the Corporation as of the end of day immediately preceding the day the Change in Control occurred.

(c) Qualifying Retirement . In the event that Grantee Retired prior to the day the Change in Control occurs but Grantee has met the conditions for a qualifying retirement termination set forth in Section 4.3 and the Grant has not been terminated by PNC prior to the Change in Control pursuant to Section 4.3 for Detrimental Conduct and is outstanding as of the end of the day immediately preceding the day on which the Change in Control occurs such that Grantee remains eligible for an award, Grantee’s Final Award will be in the amount of the lesser of:

(1) the Calculated Maximum Potential Payout Amount determined in the same manner as set forth in Section 5.1(c) but with no Committee discretion to reduce the amount of the award; and

(2) the amount of the award that would have been payable to Grantee pursuant to the calculations set forth in Section 6.1(a), but substituting a Part B Award of zero Share Units for any Part B Award amount calculated pursuant to that section, had Grantee not Retired but had been an employee of the Corporation as of the end of the day immediately preceding the day the Change in Control occurred.

The scheduled award-determination period will occur as soon as practicable after the occurrence of the Change in Control.

If Grantee died while a qualified Retiree and a Final Award determination (either to award a specified amount or not to authorize any award) was made by the Committee pursuant to Section 5.2 prior to the Change in Control, no further or different award determination will be made pursuant to this Section 6.1.

If no such Final Award determination was made prior to the Change in Control, Grantee’s Final Award determined pursuant to this Section 6.1(c) will be paid to Grantee’s legal representative, as determined in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with Section 10.

(d) Disability . In the event that Grantee became Disabled and Grantee’s employment with the Corporation terminated prior to the day the Change in Control occurs but Grantee has met the conditions for a qualifying disability termination set forth in Section 4.4 and the Grant has not been terminated by PNC prior to the Change in Control pursuant to Section 4.4 for Detrimental Conduct and is outstanding as of the end of the day immediately preceding the day on which the Change in Control occurs such that Grantee remains eligible for an award, Grantee’s Final Award will be in the amount of the award that would have been payable to Grantee pursuant to the calculations set forth in Section 6.1(a), but substituting a Part B Award of zero Share Units for any Part B Award amount calculated pursuant to that section, had Grantee still been an employee of

January 2008

-15-

the Corporation as of the end of the day immediately preceding the day the Change in Control occurred. The scheduled award-determination period will occur as soon as practicable after the occurrence of the Change in Control.

If Grantee died while qualified to receive an award and a Final Award determination (either to award a specified amount or not to authorize any award) was made by the Committee pursuant to Section 5.2 prior to the Change in Control, no further or different award determination will be made pursuant to this Section 6.1. If no such Final Award determination was made prior to the Change in Control, Grantee’s Final Award (payable to Grantee’s legal representative, as determined in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with Section 10) will be an award determined in accordance with Section 6.1(b) as if Grantee had died while an employee of the Corporation and prior to the Change in Control.

(e) Qualifying Termination in Anticipation of a Change in Control . In the event that Grantee’s termination of employment satisfies all of the conditions set forth in Section 4.5 and Section 15.46 for a qualifying termination in anticipation of a change in control such that the Grant is outstanding at the time the Change in Control occurs and Grantee remains eligible for an award, Grantee will receive a Final Award on the following basis, as applicable.

(1) If the Change in Control occurs within three (3) months of Grantee’s Termination Date, Grantee will receive a Final Award on the same basis as a continuing employee of the Corporation as set forth in Section 6.1(a).

(2) If the Change in Control occurs more than three (3) months after Grantee’s Termination Date but the Grant is outstanding because Grantee’s termination of employment qualifies under Section 4.5 and Section 15.46 by, among other conditions, having occurred after or within three months prior to a CIC Triggering Event, Grantee will receive a Final Award on the same basis as a qualifying Retiree as set forth in Section 6.1(c).

If Grantee died while qualified to receive an award and a Final Award determination (either to award a specified amount or not to authorize any award) was made by the Committee pursuant to Section 5.2 prior to the Change in Control, no further or different award determination will be made pursuant to this Section 6.1. If no such Final Award determination was made prior to the Change in Control, Grantee’s Final Award (payable to Grantee’s legal representative, as determined in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with Section 10) will be the same amount as the Final Award that would have been paid to Grantee pursuant to this Section 6.1(e) had Grantee still been alive on the Change-in-Control-determined Award Date.

6.2 No Committee Discretion . The Committee may not exercise any negative discretion pursuant to Section 5.2(b) or otherwise exercise discretion pursuant to the Agreement in any way that would serve to reduce an award deemed to be made to Grantee pursuant to this Section 6.

January 2008

6.3 Conditions for Final Award Calculation Part B Award . Certain subsections of Section 6.1 specify that a Final Award will be calculated in two parts: Part A Award and Part B Award. The Part B Award portion, where otherwise applicable pursuant to Section 6.1, is subject to the condition that Grantee have entered into a new change of control employment agreement with PNC after January 1, 2008.

Notwithstanding anything in Section 6.1 to the contrary, unless and until Grantee has entered into such an agreement, the calculation of a Final Award pursuant to Section 6.1 shall in no event include a Part B Award.

7. Delivery of Final Award; Termination of Grant as to Any Unawarded Performance Units .

7.1 Delivery of Final Award Determined by the Committee . Any Final Award determined by the Committee pursuant to Section 5.2 will be settled by delivery of whole Shares and, if applicable, cash Share-equivalents that together equal the number of Share Units specified in the Final Award, subject to the payment of applicable withholding taxes as set forth in Section 11.

(a) Form of Payment . Except where the Committee awards a prorated Final Award to Grantee as a qualifying Retiree or in the event of Grantee’s death, any Final Award determined by the Committee pursuant to Section 5.2 will be settled by delivery of that number of whole Shares equal to the number of Share Units specified in the Final Award up to a number of Shares equal to the number specified in the Grant as the Target Share Units number (which number, without regard to any additions for Dividend Adjustment Share Units but after any capital adjustments pursuant to Section 9, is also the maximum number of Shares that may be paid with respect to the Performance Units hereunder). If the number of Share Units specified in the Final Award exceeds that maximum number of Shares, then any excess of such number of Share Units will be settled in cash (sometimes referred to in the Agreement as “cash Share-equivalents”) in an amount equal to such excess number of Share Units multiplied by the Fair Market Value (as defined in Section 15.25) of a share of PNC common stock on the Award Date or as otherwise provided in Section 9, if applicable.

In the event that a Final Award determined by the Committee is a prorated award and is made to Grantee as a qualifying Retiree or in the event of Grantee’s death, then the form of payment of any such Final Award will be determined as follows. The Final Award will be settled by delivery of whole Shares up to a number of Shares equal to the product of the proration factor used in calculating the award and the number specified in the Grant as the Target Share Units number, rounded down to the nearest whole number, and any remainder will be settled in cash as cash Share-equivalents.

January 2008

-17-

In general, it is expected that the Award Date will occur in 2011 and no later than the end of the second quarter of that year, and that payment of a Final Award, if any, will be made as soon as practicable after the Award Date. Except as otherwise provided below, in no event will payment be made earlier than January 1, 2011 or later than December 31, 2011, other than in unusual circumstances where a further delay thereafter would be permitted under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, and if such a delay is permissible, as soon as practicable within such limits.

In the event of Grantee’s death prior to the Award Date where Grantee has satisfied all of the conditions of Section 4.2, 4.3, 4.4 or 4.5 of the Agreement and otherwise meets all applicable criteria as set forth in the Agreement for consideration for an award, (a) the scheduled award-determination process will occur at the same time and in the same manner as set forth above for grantees of 2008-2010 Incentive Performance Units who remain employees of the Corporation, provided that if the death occurs prior to 2010, the scheduled award-determination process will occur in the calendar year immediately following Grantee’s death, and (b) payment of a Final Award, if any, will be made during the calendar year immediately following the year in which Grantee died if the death occurs on or prior to December 31, 2010, or in 2011 if Grantee dies in 2011, provided , that , in no event will payment occur later than December 31st of the calendar year so specified as the year for payment, other than in unusual circumstances where a further delay thereafter would be permitted under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, and if such a delay is permissible, as soon as practicable within such limits.

Otherwise, in the event that Grantee is no longer employed by the Corporation but has satisfied all of the conditions of Section 4.3, 4.4 or 4.5 of the Agreement and otherwise meets all applicable criteria as set forth in the Agreement for consideration for an award, (a) the scheduled award-determination process will occur at the same time and in the same manner as set forth above for grantees of 2008-2010 Incentive Performance Units who remain employees of the Corporation, generally in 2011 during the first quarter of that year, and (b) once the Committee has made its award determination, payment of a Final Award, if any, will be made as soon as practicable after the Award Date, provided , that , in no event will payment be made earlier than January 1, 2011 or later than December 31, 2011, other than in unusual circumstances where a further delay thereafter would be permitted under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, and if such a delay is permissible, as soon as practicable within such limits.

(c) Dividend Record Dates . In the event that one or more record dates for dividends on PNC common stock occur after December 31, 2010 (or, in the event of Grantee’s death prior to 2010, after the end of the applicable Performance Period) but before the date the Final Award, if any, is paid pursuant to this Section 7.1, PNC will make a cash payment to Grantee in an amount equivalent to the amount of the dividends Grantee would have received had the number of Share Units specified in the Final Award, if any, been that number of shares of PNC common stock and had such shares

January 2008

-18-

been issued and outstanding on January 1, 2011 (or, in the event of Grantee’s death prior to 2010, on the January 1 ^st immediately following the last day of the applicable Performance Period) and had remained outstanding on the record date or dates for such dividends. Any such payment will be made at the same time as payment of the Final Award, if any.

(d) Disputes . If there is a dispute regarding payment of the Final Award, PNC will settle the undisputed portion of the award, if any, within the time frame set forth above in this Section 7.1, and will settle any remaining portion as soon as practicable after such dispute is finally resolved but in any event within the time period permitted under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.

7.2 Delivery of Final Award Determined by Section 6 . If a Final Award is deemed to be made pursuant to Section 6 rather than determined by the Committee pursuant to Section 5.2, the Final Award is fully vested as of the date of the Change in Control. The size of the Final Award in Share Units will be calculated as of the date of the Change in Control once the final data necessary for the award determination is available, and the Final Award will be paid as set forth below.

(a) Timing . Payment of the Final Award will be made by PNC at the time set forth in subsection (a)(1) of this Section 7.2 unless payment at such time would be a noncompliant payment under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, and otherwise, at the time set forth in subsection (a)(2) of this Section 7.2, in either case as further described below.

(1) If, under the circumstances, the Change in Control is a permissible payment event under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, payment of the Final Award will be made by PNC as soon as practicable after the date the Change in Control occurs and the amount of the Final Award is determinable and determined in accordance with Section 6, but in no event later than December 31 ^st of the calendar year in which the Change in Control occurs or, if later, by the 15 ^th day of the third calendar month following the date on which the Change in Control occurs, other than in unusual circumstances where a further delay thereafter would be permitted under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, and if such a delay is permissible, as soon as practicable within such limits.

(2) If, under the circumstances, payment at the time of the Change in Control would not comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, then payment will be made as soon as practicable after January 1, 2011, but in no event later than December 31, 2011.

(b) Form of Payment .

January 2008

-19-

be settled in Shares and cash Share-equivalents in the same proportions as specified in Section 7.1(a) for Committee-determined awards, except that payment will be made entirely in cash if so provided in the circumstances pursuant to Section 9.2.

In the event that one or more record dates for dividends on PNC common stock occur on or after the date of the Change in Control but before the date the Final Award is paid pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(1), PNC will also make a cash payment to Grantee in an amount equivalent to the amount of the dividends Grantee would have received had the number of Share Units specified in the Final Award been that number of shares of PNC common stock and had such shares been issued and outstanding on the date of the Change in Control and remained outstanding on the record date or dates for such dividends. Any such payment will be made at the same time as payment of the Final Award, and will be applicable only in the event that the Change in Control is a permissible payment event under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and payment of the Final Award is made at the time specified in Section 7.2(a)(1).

(2) If, under the circumstances, payment at the time of the Change in Control would not comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and payment of the Final Award is made at the time specified in Section 7.2(a)(2), then the Final Award will be paid entirely in cash and will be in an amount equal to the base amount described below in subsection (A) of this Section 7.2(b)(2) plus the phantom investment amount described below in subsection (B) of this Section 7.2(b)(2).

(A) The base amount will be an amount equal to the number of Share Units specified in the Final Award multiplied by the Fair Market Value (as defined in Section 15.25) of a share of PNC common stock on the date of the Change in Control or as otherwise provided in Section 9, if applicable.

(B) The phantom investment amount will be either (i) or (ii), whichever is larger: (i) interest on the base amount described in Section 7.2(b)(2)(A) from the date of the Change in Control through the payment date at the short-term, mid-term or long-term Federal rate under Internal Revenue Code Section 1274 (b)(2)(B), as applicable depending on the term until payment, compounded semi-annually; or (ii) a phantom investment amount with respect to said base amount that reflects, if positive, the performance of the PNC stock or other consideration received by a PNC common shareholder in the Change in Control transaction, with dividends reinvested in such stock, from the date of the Change in Control through the payment date. PNC may, at its option, provide other phantom investment alternatives in addition to those referenced in the preceding sentence and may permit Grantee to make a phantom investment election from among such alternatives under and in accordance with procedures established by PNC, but any such alternatives must provide for at least the two phantom investments set forth in Section 7.2(b)(2)(B)(i) and (ii) at a minimum. The phantom investment amount will be applicable only in the event that payment at the time of the Change in Control would not comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and thus payment is made at the time specified in Section 7.2(a)(2) rather than at the time specified in Section 7.2(a)(1).

January 2008

-20-

(c) Disputes . If there is a dispute regarding payment of the Final Award, PNC will settle the undisputed portion of the award, if any, within the time frame set forth in the applicable subsection of Section 7.2(a), and will settle any remaining portion as soon as practicable after such dispute is finally resolved but in any event within the time period permitted under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.

7.3 Final Award Fully Vested . The Final Award, if any, will be fully vested at the Committee-determined Award Date or as of the date of the Change in Control, as applicable. Any Shares issued pursuant to this Section 7 will be fully vested at the time of issuance, and PNC will issue such Shares and deliver any cash payable pursuant to this Section 7 to, or at the proper direction of, Grantee or Grantee’s legal representative, as determined in good faith by the Committee, at the time specified in the applicable subsection of Section 7.2.

No fractional shares will be issued. If a Final Award is payable in Shares and includes a fractional interest, such fractional interest will be liquidated on the basis of the then current Fair Market Value of PNC common stock and paid to Grantee or Grantee’s legal representative in cash at the time the Shares are issued.

In the event that Grantee is deceased, payment will be delivered to the executor or administrator of Grantee’s estate or to Grantee’s other legal representative, as determined in good faith by the Committee.

7.4 Termination of Grant as to Any Unawarded Performance Units . Once an award determination has been made by the Committee pursuant to Section 5.2 or a Final Award is deemed to have been made by virtue of the application of Section 6, the share-denominated incentive award opportunity represented by this Grant of Performance Units will terminate as to any portion of the Performance Units not so awarded.

Termination of all or a portion of the Grant pursuant to this Section 7.4, or pursuant to Section 4, if applicable, will in no way affect Grantee’s covenants or the other provisions of Sections 16 and 17.

8. No Rights as Shareholder until Final Award and Issuance of Shares . Grantee will have no rights as a shareholder by virtue of this Grant unless and until a Final Award, if any, is made and Shares are issued and delivered in settlement of all or a portion of such Final Award, if any.

9. Capital Adjustments .

9.1 Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.2, if applicable, in the event that a corporate transaction or 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”)) occur prior to the time a Final Award, if any, is paid, the Committee shall make those adjustments, if any, in the

January 2008

-21-

number, class or kind of the Target Share Units that it deems appropriate in its discretion to reflect the Corporate Transaction(s) such that the rights of Grantee are neither enlarged nor diminished as a result of such Corporate Transaction or Transactions, including without limitation (a) measuring the value per Share Unit of any share-denominated award authorized for payment to Grantee by reference to the per share value of the consideration payable to a PNC common shareholder in connection with such Corporate Transaction or Transactions, and (b) authorizing payment of the entire Final Award, if any, in cash at the time otherwise specified in Section 7.

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

9.2 Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control (or during the period after the occurrence of a CIC Triggering Event and before such triggering event results in a Change in Control or a CIC Failure of such event occurs), (a) the number, class and kind of the Target Share Units will automatically be adjusted to reflect the same changes as are made to outstanding shares of PNC common stock generally, (b) the value per Share Unit of any share-denominated award that is deemed to be awarded to Grantee in accordance with Section 6 will be measured by reference to the per share value of the consideration payable to a PNC common shareholder in connection with such Corporate Transaction or Transactions, and (c) if the effect of the Corporate Transaction or Transactions on a PNC common shareholder is to convert that shareholder’s holdings into consideration that does not consist solely (other than as to a minimal amount) of shares of PNC common stock, then the value of an award to Grantee pursuant to Section 6 will be payable solely in cash at the time otherwise specified by Section 7.

10. Prohibitions Against Sale, Assignment, etc.; Payment to Legal Representative .

(a) The Grant of Performance Units made hereunder may not be sold, assigned, transferred, exchanged, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise encumbered.

(b) If Grantee is deceased at the time any Final Award authorized by this Agreement is to be paid, such payment shall be made to the executor or administrator of Grantee’s estate or to Grantee’s other legal representative as determined in good faith by the Committee.

(c) Any delivery of Shares or other payment made in good faith by PNC to Grantee’s executor, administrator or other legal representative shall extinguish all right to payment hereunder.

11. Withholding Taxes; Payment Upon Inclusion Under Section 409A .

Where Grantee has not previously satisfied all applicable withholding tax obligations, PNC will, at the time the tax withholding obligation arises in connection

January 2008

-22-

herewith, retain an amount sufficient to satisfy the minimum amount of taxes then required to be withheld by the Corporation in connection therewith from any Final Award then payable to Grantee. To the extent that any portion of a Final Award is payable in the form of cash, the Corporation will withhold first from such cash portion of the award and, if that is not sufficient or if there is no such cash portion, the Corporation will then retain whole shares of PNC common stock from the portion of any Final Award that is payable in the form of Shares, until such withholdings in the aggregate are sufficient to satisfy such minimum required withholding obligations.

For purposes of this Section 11, 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 Final Award after any cash portion of the award has already been withheld for such purpose. 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 by payment of cash. If Grantee’s W-4 obligation does not exceed the required minimum withholding in connection with the Final Award, no additional withholding may be made.

It is the intention of the parties that the Grant and the Agreement comply with the provisions of Section 409A to the extent, if any, that such provisions are applicable to the Agreement. In the event that, notwithstanding such intention, the arrangement fails to meet the requirements of Section 409A and the regulations promulgated thereunder, then PNC may at that time permit the acceleration of the time for payment to Grantee under the Agreement notwithstanding any of the other provisions of the Agreement, but any such accelerated payment may not exceed the amount required to be included in Grantee’s income as a result of the failure to comply with the requirements of Section 409A and the regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this provision, an amount will be deemed to have been included in Grantee’s income if the amount is timely reported on Form W-2 or Form 1099-MISC, as appropriate.

12. Employment . Neither the Grant of Performance Units nor the calculation, determination and payment of any Final Award hereunder 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.

13. Subject to the Plan and the Committee . In all respects the Grant and the Agreement are subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, which has been made available to Grantee and is incorporated herein by reference; provided , however , the terms of the Plan shall not be considered an enlargement of any benefits under the Agreement. 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.

January 2008

14. Headings; Entire Agreement . Headings used in the Agreement are provided for reference and convenience only, shall not be considered part of the Agreement, and shall not be employed in the construction of the Agreement.

The Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between Grantee and PNC, and supersedes all other discussions, negotiations, correspondence, representations, understandings and agreements between the parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

15. Certain Definitions . Except where the context otherwise indicates, the following definitions apply for purposes of the Agreement.

15.1 “ Adjusted Target Share Units ” means the number of Share Units equal to the Target Share Units as adjusted for the addition of all Dividend Adjustment Share Units accrued through the date specified by the Agreement, which will be December 31, 2010 unless an earlier date is specified by the Agreement ( e.g. , in the case of a qualifying retirement or a Change in Control prior to December 31, 2010).

15.2 “ Annual Peer Group ” or “ Peer Group ” means the group of financial institutions, including PNC, designated by the Committee pursuant to Section 3.2 as PNC’s Peer Group for a given year. A member of the Peer Group is sometimes referred to as a “ Peer ”.

15.3 “ Annual Potential Payout Percentage .” The Annual Potential Payout Percentage for a given full covered year within the Performance Period ( i.e. , for 2008, 2009 or 2010) is the percentage determined by taking the average of the potential payout percentages achieved for that year by PNC with respect to the levels of EPS Growth performance and ROCE performance, respectively, achieved by PNC relative to the levels of EPS Growth performance and ROCE performance, respectively, of the other Peer Group members as determined in accordance with the Annual Potential Payout Calculation Schedule applicable for that year, rounded to the nearest one-hundredth percent.

Where the Agreement requires the calculation of an Annual Potential Payout Percentage for a given period that is less than a full year (sometimes referred to as a “partial year” or a “limited year” or “limited period”), then the Annual Potential Payout Percentage for that covered period is sometimes referred to as a “ Limited-Year Annual Potential Payout Percentage ”.

A “ Limited-Year Annual Potential Payout Percentage ” will be calculated in the same manner as the Annual Potential Payout Percentage for a full covered year except that it will be based on measurements of EPS Growth performance and ROCE performance with respect to PNC and the other Peers for, or with respect to, the year-to-date

January 2008

-24-

period (using full quarters only) beginning on January 1 of the given partial year and ending on the performance measurement date specified by the Agreement, and will be measured for PNC and for those other Peers that are remaining by the end of that limited period.

15.4 “ Annual Potential Payout Calculation Schedule ” for a given full or partial covered year means the schedule established by the Committee pursuant to Section 3.2 as applicable for that year that determines the method by which the Annual Potential Payout Percentage will be calculated for that year, or for the relevant portion of that year if a partial or limited year calculation is required by the Agreement, based on the levels of EPS Growth performance and ROCE performance achieved by PNC relative to the EPS Growth performance and ROCE performance of the other Peers remaining by the end of the relevant period.

All of the preceding terms used in this definition of ROCE, other than acquisition costs and merger integration costs, certain Visa-related items (as described below), and PNC’s BlackRock LTIP shares obligation (as described below), where applicable, will have the meanings assigned to such terms in accordance with GAAP. All after-tax adjustments for PNC and for all other Peers will be calculated using the same methodology for making such adjustments on an after-tax basis. ROCE, as used in the Agreement, will include adjustments, where otherwise applicable, for the impact of any item for which such impact was the result of a change in tax law, for the impact of any acquisition costs and merger integration costs and certain Visa-related items, and, in the case of PNC only, for the net impact of PNC’s BlackRock LTIP shares obligation only where such amounts, including with respect to PNC, can be reasonably determined from publicly-disclosed financial information.

“ Certain Visa-related items ” for PNC or another Peer will mean, as applicable, (1) the expenses or charges recorded by PNC or another Peer that is a financial institution member of Visa U.S.A.

The Committee may, in its discretion, direct management to provide additional information to the Committee on the impact that other specified adjustments, applied on a consistent basis to the ROCE of each member of the Peer Group, would have had on relative ROCE performance, but no such other adjustments will have the effect of increasing the Calculated Maximum Potential Payout Amount or the Final Award.

15.50 “ ROCE performance ” means, for purposes of the Agreement for a given full year period or shorter 3, 6 or 9 month period, with respect to each of PNC and each other Annual Peer Group member, the ROCE of each such Peer for such period, calculated as set forth in Section 15.49.
