GRANTEE:		[Name]

AWARD GRANT DATE:		, 20

RESTRICTED SHARE UNITS:		[ Whole number ] share units

1. Definitions. Certain terms used in this Stock-Payable Restricted Share Units Award Agreement (the “Agreement” or “Award Agreement”) are defined in Section 12 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 as amended from time to time.

2. Restricted Share Units with Related Dividend Equivalents Award. Pursuant to the Plan and subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, PNC grants to the Grantee named above (“Grantee”) a Share-denominated award opportunity of stock-payable restricted share units (“Restricted Share Units” or “RSUs”) of the number of restricted share units set forth above, together with the opportunity to receive related dividend equivalents to the extent provided herein (“Dividend Equivalents”), payable in cash, with respect to those share units (together, the “Award”). The Award is subject to acceptance by Grantee in accordance with Section 15 and is subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement and to the Plan.

3. Terms of Award. The Award is subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement and to the Plan.

Restricted Share Units and Dividend Equivalents are not transferable. Restricted Share Units and related Dividend Equivalents are subject to forfeiture pursuant to the applicable service, conduct and other terms and conditions of the Agreement until vesting of the Restricted Share Units in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.

Provided that Restricted Share Units are not forfeited in accordance with the terms of Section 5 and vest in accordance with the terms of Section 6, those Restricted Share Units will be settled and paid out, generally in shares of PNC common stock, pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of Section 6. Restricted Share Units that are forfeited by Grantee pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the service, conduct or other provisions of Section 5 will be cancelled without payment of any consideration by PNC.

The right to ongoing Dividend Equivalents is granted in connection with the Restricted Share Units to which those Dividend Equivalents relate and therefore shall terminate, without payment of any consideration by PNC, upon the cancellation or vesting, whichever is applicable, of the Restricted Share Units to which those Dividend Equivalents relate.

4. Dividend Equivalents.

Dividend Equivalents. These Dividend Equivalents are related to the Restricted Share Units, and Dividend Equivalents payments are applicable for the period during which the Restricted Share Units to which they relate are outstanding. Dividend Equivalents apply to the period from and after the Award Grant Date until such time as the Restricted Share Units granted in connection with those Dividend Equivalents either (i) vest pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of Section 6 or (ii) are cancelled upon forfeiture in accordance with the terms of Section 5. At the end of such period (either the vesting date in accordance with Section 6 or cancellation date in accordance with Section 5), the related Dividend Equivalents terminate.

Once the Agreement is effective in accordance with Section 15 and subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 4, the Corporation will make Dividend Equivalents payments to Grantee, where applicable, of cash equivalent to the amounts of the quarterly cash dividends Grantee would have received, if any, had the Restricted Share Units to which such Dividend Equivalents relate been shares of PNC common stock issued and outstanding on the record dates for cash dividends on PNC common stock that occur during the applicable Dividend Equivalents period.

Payment. The Corporation will make Dividend Equivalents payments to Grantee where applicable pursuant to this Section 4 each quarter following the dividend payment date that relates to such record date, if any. Dividend Equivalents will not be payable with respect to a dividend unless the Restricted Share Units to which the Dividend Equivalents relate were outstanding on the dividend record date for such dividend. Such amounts shall be paid in cash in accordance with applicable regular payroll practice as in effect from time to time for similarly situated employees within 30 days after the applicable dividend payment date.

Dividend Equivalents payments are also subject to the additional conditions set forth below.

Additional Conditions. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 5.4(b), 12.11, and 14.9, termination or cancellation of the right to ongoing Dividend Equivalents will have no effect on cash payments made pursuant to this Section 4 prior to such termination or cancellation.

If the termination of the right to ongoing Dividend Equivalents occurs after the dividend record date for a quarter but before the related dividend payment date, the Corporation will nonetheless make such a quarterly dividend equivalents payment to Grantee with respect to that record date, if any.

Where payment of Dividend Equivalents that would otherwise be made is suspended pursuant to Section 5.3 or Section 5.5 pending resolution of a potential forfeiture of the Restricted Share Units, then such payment will be made only if and when the suspension is terminated for reasons favorable to Grantee and the Restricted Share Units are not forfeited. No interest shall be paid with respect to any suspended payments. If the suspension is terminated for reasons adverse to Grantee, both the Restricted Share Units and any suspended Dividend Equivalents payments will be forfeited without payment.

5. Forfeiture Provisions; Termination Upon Failure to Meet Applicable Conditions.

5.1 Termination Upon Forfeiture of Units. The Award is subject to the forfeiture provisions set forth in this Section 5. Upon forfeiture and cancellation of Restricted Share Units and the right to receive payment with respect to the Dividend Equivalents related to such Restricted Share Units pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Section 5, the Award will terminate with respect to such Restricted Share Units and related Dividend Equivalents, and neither Grantee nor any successors, heirs, assigns or legal representatives of Grantee will thereafter have any further rights or interest in such Restricted Share Units or the related right to Dividend Equivalents evidenced by the Agreement.

5.2 Service Requirements. Grantee will meet the service requirements of the Award with respect to the Restricted Share Units, or applicable portion thereof if so specified, if Grantee meets the conditions of any of the subclauses below. If more than one of the following subclauses is applicable with respect to those Restricted Share Units, Grantee will have met the service requirements for the Award upon the first to occur of such conditions.

(iv)

Grantee continues to be employed by the Corporation until such time as Grantee Retires (as defined in Section 12) provided that such Retirement Date occurs no earlier than the 1^st anniversary of the Award Grant Date and such Retirement is a Qualifying Retirement Termination of employment as defined below and where Grantee’s employment was not terminated by the Corporation for Cause (as defined in Section 12).

(2)

Grantee’s employment was not terminated by the Corporation for Cause (as defined in Section 12); and

(3)

(a) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (b) below, if, at the time Grantee ceases to be employed by the Corporation, Grantee has failed to meet the service requirements with respect to all or a portion of the Award as set forth in Section 5.2 prior to or as of Grantee’s Termination Date (as defined in Section 12), then all such outstanding Restricted Share Units that have so failed to meet such service requirements, together with the right to receive any payment on or after Grantee’s Termination Date with respect to the Dividend Equivalents related to those Restricted Share Units, will be forfeited by Grantee to PNC and cancelled without payment of any consideration by PNC as of Grantee’s Termination Date.

(b) If, at the time Grantee ceases to be employed by the Corporation, Grantee could still satisfy the service requirements for all or a portion of the Award pursuant to Section 5.2(vii) provided that Grantee satisfies all of the conditions, if any, required by the Committee or other PNC Designated Person for such provision to apply within the time so specified by the Committee or other PNC Designated Person and/or that provision, then the potential forfeiture of that portion of the Award for failure to meet the service requirements set forth in Section 5.2 (and payment with respect to Dividend Equivalents with respect to that portion of the Award) will be suspended until the earliest to occur of the following: (1) Grantee’s failing to meet the service requirements of Section 5.2 upon the failure to satisfy such conditions at all or to satisfy such conditions within any time period specified by the Committee or other PNC Designated Person for such purpose or, if earlier or if no such time period is specified by the Committee or other PNC Designated Person, within the time period otherwise specified in such provision (i.e., no later than by the end of the day immediately preceding the 3^rd anniversary of the Award Grant Date); (2) the timely satisfaction of such conditions, if any, such that Grantee is considered to have met the service requirements of Section 5.2 for purposes of that portion of the Award; (3) Grantee’s death; or (4) the occurrence of a Change of Control.

If such suspension is resolved adverse to Grantee pursuant to clause (1) above, then all outstanding Restricted Share Units, together with all payments with respect to the related Dividend Equivalents that had been suspended pending such resolution, will be automatically forfeited by Grantee to PNC and cancelled without payment of any consideration by PNC, effective as of Grantee’s Termination Date.

If such suspension is resolved pursuant to clause (2) above or by the occurrence of an event set forth in clause (3) or (4) above, then vesting of Restricted Share Units shall proceed in accordance with Section 6, as applicable, any Dividend Equivalents payments that had been suspended shall be paid, and payment of ongoing Dividend Equivalents, if any, shall resume in accordance with Section 4 as applicable. No interest shall be paid with respect to any suspended payments.

5.4 Forfeiture Upon Termination for Cause or Pursuant to Detrimental Conduct Provisions.

(a) Termination for Cause. In the event that Grantee’s employment with the Corporation is terminated by the Corporation for Cause prior to the 3^rd anniversary of the Award Grant Date and prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control, if any, then all then outstanding Restricted Share Units, together with the right to receive any payment on or after Grantee’s Termination Date with respect to the Dividend Equivalents related to those Restricted Share Units, will be forfeited by Grantee to PNC and cancelled without payment of any consideration by PNC as of Grantee’s Termination Date.

5.5 Suspension and Forfeiture Related to Judicial Criminal Proceedings. If any criminal charges are brought against Grantee, in an indictment or in other analogous formal charges commencing judicial criminal proceedings, alleging the commission of a felony that relates to or arises out of Grantee’s employment or other service relationship with the Corporation, then to the extent that the Restricted Share Units or any portion thereof are still outstanding and have not yet vested, the vesting of those Restricted Share Units and any further Dividend Equivalent payments shall be automatically suspended.

Such suspension of vesting shall continue until the earliest to occur of the following:

(1) resolution of the criminal proceedings in a manner that results in a conviction (including a plea of guilty or of nolo contendere) of Grantee for, or any entry by Grantee into a pre-trial disposition with respect to, the commission of a felony that relates to or arises out of Grantee’s employment or other service relationship with the Corporation;

(2) resolution of the criminal proceedings in one of the following ways: (i) the charges as they relate to such alleged felony have been dismissed (with or without prejudice); (ii) Grantee has been acquitted of such alleged felony; or (iii) a criminal proceeding relating to such alleged felony has been completed without resolution (for example, as a result of a mistrial) and the relevant time period for recommencing criminal proceedings relating to such alleged felony has expired without any such recommencement;

(3) Grantee’s death; or

(4) the occurrence of a Change of Control.

If the suspension is terminated by the occurrence of an event set forth in clause (1) above, those Restricted Share Units, together with all payments with respect to the related Dividend Equivalents that had been suspended, will, upon such occurrence, be automatically forfeited by Grantee to PNC, will not vest or be eligible to vest, and will be cancelled without payment of any consideration by PNC.

If the suspension is terminated by the occurrence of an event set forth in clause (2), (3) or (4) above, then vesting of those Restricted Share Units shall proceed in accordance with Section 6, as applicable, any Dividend Equivalents payments that had been suspended shall be paid, and payment of ongoing Dividend Equivalents, if any, shall resume in accordance with Section 4 as applicable. No interest shall be paid with respect to any suspended payments.

6. Vesting and Settlement of Restricted Share Units.

6.1 Vesting. Restricted Share Units will vest upon the earliest to occur of the events set forth in the subclauses below, provided that those Restricted Share Units have not been forfeited prior to such event pursuant to any of the provisions of Section 5 and remain outstanding at that time:

(i)

the 3^rd anniversary of the Award Grant Date or, if later, on the date as of which any suspension imposed with respect to those Restricted Share Units pursuant to Section 5.5 is lifted without forfeiture of the units and the units vest, as applicable;

(ii)

the date of Grantee’s death; and

(iii)

the end of the day immediately preceding the day a Change of Control (as defined in Section 12) occurs.

Restricted Share Units that have been forfeited by Grantee pursuant to the provisions of Section 5 are not eligible for vesting, will not settle and will be cancelled without payment of any consideration by PNC.

The Dividend Equivalents period with respect to Dividend Equivalents related to such Restricted Share Units will end and such Dividend Equivalents will terminate either on the vesting date for such Restricted Share Units in accordance with Section 6 or on the cancellation date for such Restricted Share Units in accordance with Section 5, as applicable.

6.2 Settlement. Restricted Share Units that have vested will be settled at the time set forth in Section 6.3 by delivery to Grantee of that number of whole shares of PNC common stock equal to the number of outstanding vested Restricted Share Units being settled or as otherwise provided pursuant to Section 8 if applicable.

No fractional shares will be delivered to Grantee. If the outstanding vested Restricted Share Units being settled include a fractional interest, such fractional interest will be liquidated and paid to Grantee in cash on the basis of the then current Fair Market Value (as defined in Section 12) of PNC common stock as of the vesting date (or as of the scheduled payment date pursuant to subsection (2) of the third bullet under Section 6.3 if payment is made pursuant to that provision as necessary) or in any case as otherwise provided in Section 8 if applicable.

Delivery of shares and/or other payment pursuant to the Award will not be made unless and until all applicable tax withholding requirements with respect to such payment have been satisfied.

6.3 Payout Timing. Payment will be made to Grantee in settlement of outstanding Restricted Share Units that have vested as soon as practicable after the vesting date set forth in the applicable subclause of Section 6.1 for such Restricted Share Units, generally within 30 days but no later than December 31^st of the calendar year in which the vesting date occurs, subject to the provisions of the following bullets, if applicable. No interest shall be paid with respect to any such payments hereunder.

•

In the event that the vesting date pursuant to Section 6.1(i) is the date as of which any suspension imposed pursuant to Section 5.5 is lifted, payment will be made no later than the earlier of (a) 30 days after the vesting date and (b) December 31^st of the calendar year in which the vesting date occurs.

•

Where vesting occurs pursuant to Section 6.1(ii) upon Grantee’s death, payment will be made no later than December 31^st of the calendar year in which Grantee’s death occurred or, if later, the 15^th day of the 3^rd calendar month following the date of Grantee’s death.

•

Where vesting occurs pursuant to Section 6.1(iii) due to the occurrence of a Change of Control:

(1)

If, under the circumstances, the Change of Control is a permissible payment event under Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, payment will be made as soon as practicable after the Change of Control date, but in no event later than December 31^st of the calendar year in which the Change of Control occurs or, if later, by the 15^th day of the third calendar month following the date on which the Change of Control occurs, other than in unusual circumstances where a further delay thereafter would be permitted under Section 409A of the U.S. 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 of Control would not comply with Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, then payment will be made as soon as practicable after the 3^rd anniversary of the Award Grant Date (the date that would have been the scheduled vesting date for such Restricted Share Units had they vested pursuant to Section 6.1(i) rather than pursuant to Section 6.1(iii)), but in no event later than December 31^st of the calendar year in which such scheduled vesting date occurs.

•

Where vesting occurs pursuant to Section 6.1(iii) due to the occurrence of a Change of Control and payment is scheduled, pursuant to subsection (2) of the bullet above, for as soon as practicable after the 3^rd anniversary of the Award Grant Date, but Grantee dies prior to that scheduled payout date, payment will be made no later than December 31^st of the calendar year in which Grantee’s death occurred or, if later but not beyond the end of the calendar year in which the 3^rd anniversary of the Award Grant Date occurs, the 15^th day of the 3^rd calendar month following the date of Grantee’s death.

7. No Rights as Shareholder Until Issuance of Shares. Grantee will have no rights as a shareholder of PNC by virtue of this Award unless and until Shares are issued and delivered in settlement of outstanding vested Restricted Share Units pursuant to and in accordance with Section 6.

8. Capital Adjustments.

8.1 Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.2, if applicable, if corporate transactions such as stock dividends, stock splits, spin-offs, split-offs, recapitalizations, mergers, consolidations or reorganizations of or by PNC (“Corporate Transactions”) occur prior to the time, if any, that outstanding vested Restricted Share Units are settled and paid, the Compensation Committee or its delegate shall make those adjustments, if any, in the number, class or kind of Restricted Share Units and related Dividend Equivalents then outstanding under the Award that it deems appropriate in its discretion to reflect Corporate Transactions such that the rights of Grantee are neither enlarged nor diminished as a result of such Corporate Transactions, including without limitation (a) measuring the value per share unit of any share-denominated award amount authorized for payment to Grantee pursuant to Section 6 by reference to the per share value of the consideration payable to a PNC common shareholder in connection with such Corporate Transactions and (b) authorizing payment of the entire value of any award amount authorized for payment to Grantee pursuant to Section 6 to be paid in cash at the applicable time specified in Section 6.

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

8.2 Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, (a) the number, class and kind of Restricted Share Units and related Dividend Equivalents then outstanding under the Award 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 amount 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 if applicable, 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 entire value of any payment to be made to Grantee pursuant to Section 6 will be made solely in cash at the applicable time specified by Section 6.

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

(a) Restricted Share Units and related Dividend Equivalents may not be sold, assigned, transferred, exchanged, pledged, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated.

(b) If Grantee is deceased at the time any outstanding vested Restricted Share Units are settled and paid in accordance with the terms of Section 6, such delivery of shares and/or other 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 PNC.

(c) Any delivery of shares or other payment made in good faith by PNC to Grantee’s executor, administrator or other legal representative, or retained by PNC for taxes pursuant to Section 10, shall extinguish all right to payment hereunder.

10. Withholding Taxes. Where all applicable withholding tax obligations have not previously been satisfied, PNC will, at the time any such obligation arises in connection herewith, retain an amount sufficient to satisfy the minimum amount of taxes then required to be withheld by the Corporation in connection therewith from amounts then payable hereunder to Grantee or, if none, from other compensation then payable to Grantee, or as otherwise determined by PNC.

Unless the Compensation Committee or other PNC Designated Person (as defined in Section 12) determines otherwise, where amounts are then payable hereunder to Grantee in the form of shares of PNC common stock, the Corporation will retain whole shares from any such amounts until such withholdings in the aggregate are sufficient to satisfy such minimum required withholding obligation. In the event that amounts are not then payable hereunder to Grantee in the form of shares or that such withholdings are otherwise not sufficient to meet the minimum amount of taxes then required to be withheld, withholding will be made from any amounts then payable hereunder to Grantee that are settled in cash until such withholdings in the aggregate are sufficient to satisfy such minimum required withholding obligation.

If any withholding is required prior to the time amounts are payable to Grantee hereunder or if such amounts are not sufficient to satisfy such obligation in full, the withholding will be taken from other compensation then payable to Grantee or as otherwise determined by PNC.

For purposes of this Section 10, shares of PNC common stock retained to satisfy applicable withholding tax requirements will be valued at their Fair Market Value (as defined in Section 12) on the date the tax withholding obligation arises.

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. The Corporation will not retain Shares for this purpose. If Grantee’s W-4 obligation does not exceed the required minimum withholding in connection herewith, no additional withholding may be made.

11. Employment. Neither the granting of the Restricted Share Units and related Dividend Equivalents award nor any payment with respect to such Award authorized 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.

“Award” means the Restricted Share Units with related Dividend Equivalents award granted to Grantee pursuant to the Plan and evidenced by the Agreement.

12.2 “Anticipatory Termination” If Grantee’s employment with the Corporation is terminated by the Corporation other than for Cause as defined in this Section 12.2, death or Disability prior to the date on which a Change of Control occurs, and if it is reasonably demonstrated by Grantee that such termination of employment (i) was at the request of a third party that has taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change of Control or (ii) otherwise arose in connection with or in anticipation of a Change of Control, such a termination of employment is an “Anticipatory Termination.”

For purposes of this Section 12.2, “Cause” shall mean:

(a) the willful and continued failure of Grantee to substantially perform Grantee’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 Grantee by the Board or the CEO that specifically identifies the manner in which the Board or the CEO believes that Grantee has not substantially performed Grantee’s duties; or

(b) the willful engaging by Grantee in illegal conduct or gross misconduct that is materially and demonstrably injurious to PNC or any of its subsidiaries.

For purposes of the preceding clauses (a) and (b), no act or failure to act, on the part of Grantee, shall be considered willful unless it is done, or omitted to be done, by Grantee in bad faith and without reasonable belief that Grantee’s action or omission was in the best interests of the Corporation. Any act, or failure to act, based upon the instructions or prior approval of the Board, the CEO or Grantee’s superior or based upon the advice of counsel for the Corporation, shall be conclusively presumed to be done, or omitted to be done, by Grantee in good faith and in the best interests of the Corporation.

The cessation of employment of Grantee will be deemed to be a termination of Grantee’s employment with the Corporation for Cause for purposes of this Section 12.2 only if and when there shall have been delivered to Grantee, as part of the notice of Grantee’s termination, a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than a majority of the entire membership of the Board, at a Board meeting called and held for the purpose of considering such termination, finding on the basis of clear and convincing evidence that, in the good faith opinion of the Board, Grantee is guilty of conduct described in clause (a) or clause (b) above and, in either case, specifying the particulars thereof in detail. Such resolution shall be adopted only after (i) reasonable notice of such Board meeting is provided to Grantee, together with written notice that PNC believes that Grantee is guilty of conduct described in clause (a) or clause (b) above and, in either case, specifying the particulars thereof in detail, and (ii) Grantee is given an opportunity, together with counsel, to be heard before the Board.

(c) any act of fraud, misappropriation, material dishonesty, or embezzlement by Grantee against PNC or any of its subsidiaries or any client or customer of PNC or any of its subsidiaries;

(d) any conviction (including a plea of guilty or of nolo contendere) of Grantee for, or entry by Grantee into a pre-trial disposition with respect to, the commission of a felony; or

(e) entry of any order against Grantee, by any governmental body having regulatory authority with respect to the business of PNC or any of its subsidiaries, that relates to or arises out of Grantee’s employment or other service relationship with the Corporation.

The cessation of employment of Grantee will be deemed to have been a termination of Grantee’s employment with the Corporation for Cause for purposes of the Agreement only if and when the CEO or his or her designee (or, if Grantee is the CEO, the Board) determines that Grantee is guilty of conduct described in clause (a), (b) or (c) above or that an event described in clause (d) or (e) above has occurred with respect to Grantee and, if so, determines that the termination of Grantee’s employment with the Corporation will be deemed to have been for Cause.

12.5 “CEO” means the chief executive officer of PNC.

12.6 “Change of Control” means:

(a) Any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) (a “Person”) becomes the beneficial owner (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 20% or more of either (A) the then-outstanding shares of common stock of PNC (the “Outstanding PNC Common Stock”) or (B) the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities of PNC entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the “Outstanding PNC Voting Securities”); provided, however, that, for purposes of this Section 12.6(a), the following acquisitions shall not constitute a Change of Control: (1) any acquisition directly from PNC, (2) any acquisition by PNC, (3) any acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by PNC or any company controlled by, controlling or under common control with PNC (an “Affiliated Company”), (4) any acquisition pursuant to an Excluded Combination (as defined in Section 12.6(c)) or (5) an acquisition of beneficial ownership representing between 20% and 40%, inclusive, of the Outstanding PNC Voting Securities or Outstanding PNC Common Stock shall not be considered a Change of Control if the Incumbent Board as of immediately prior to any such acquisition approves such acquisition either prior to or immediately after its occurrence;

(b) Individuals who, as of the date hereof, constitute the Board (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board (excluding any Board seat that is vacant or otherwise unoccupied); provided, however, that any individual becoming a director subsequent to the date hereof whose election, or nomination for election by PNC’s shareholders, was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be considered as though such individual was a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board;

(d) Approval by the shareholders of PNC of a complete liquidation or dissolution of PNC.

AWARD AGREEMENT

GRANTEE:		[Name]

AWARD GRANT DATE:		, 20

RESTRICTED SHARE UNITS:		[ number ] share units

1. Definitions. Certain terms used in this 20 Stock-Payable Restricted Share Units Award Agreement (the “Agreement” or “Award Agreement”) are defined in Section 12 or elsewhere in the Agreement, and such definitions will apply except where the context otherwise indicates.

2. Restricted Share Units with Related Dividend Equivalents Award. Pursuant to the Plan and subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, PNC grants to the Grantee named above (“Grantee”) a Share-denominated award opportunity of stock-payable restricted share units (“Restricted Share Units” or “RSUs”) of the number of share units set forth above, together with the opportunity to receive related dividend equivalents to the extent provided herein (“Dividend Equivalents”), payable in cash, with respect to those share units (together, the “Award”). The Award is subject to acceptance by Grantee in accordance with Section 15 and is subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement and to the Plan.

3. Terms of Award. The Award is subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement and to the Plan.

3.1 No Service Requirements. Grantee must be an employee of the Corporation on the Award Grant Date. There is no continuing service requirement for the Award.

3.2 Initial Tax Withholding; Tax Share Units. Any Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) employee taxes required in connection with and at the time of grant of the Award, and any Federal, state or local tax amounts related to the payment of such FICA taxes or to required minimum income tax withholding in connection with the payout at the time of grant of sufficient of the Restricted Share Units to pay the employee FICA taxes and all related taxes (including additional income taxes required by virtue of the pyramiding of wages and taxes), shall be paid first from the retention of the Shares resulting from the payout at that time of the Tax Share Units (as described below) and then any remaining amount shall be withheld from other compensation then payable to Grantee. The Tax Share Units will vest and be paid out in shares of PNC common stock in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 6 at the time of grant and those payout Shares will be retained by PNC, all for the sole purpose of the payment of required employee FICA and other taxes in accordance with this Section 3.2 and Section 10.1.

The Tax Share Units shall be that number of the Restricted Share Units of the Award equal to the aggregate of the First Day Tax Withholding amounts (in dollars), as described below, divided by the Fair Market Value (as defined in Section 12) of a share of PNC common stock on the Award Grant Date, rounded down to the nearest whole share unit; provided, however, that the Tax Share Units shall in no event exceed the number of share units the payout of which is permitted to be accelerated for the purposes of the payment of FICA taxes and any Federal, state and local taxes related to the payment of such FICA taxes (including additional income taxes required by virtue of the pyramiding of wages and taxes) in accordance with Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code.

The First Day Tax Withholding amounts shall be (i) the dollar amount of the employee FICA taxes imposed with respect to the Award at the time of grant and any state or local taxes related to the payment of such FICA taxes, plus (ii) the dollar amount of Federal, state and local income tax required to be withheld on the income recognized by virtue of the payout of sufficient Restricted Share Units such that the retention of the Shares so paid out will be sufficient to satisfy the payment of the dollar amount of taxes described in clause (i) hereof, plus (iii) the dollar amount of Federal, state and local income tax required to be withheld on the income recognized by virtue of the payout of sufficient additional Restricted Share Units to satisfy the required income tax withholding on the dollar amount described in clause (ii) hereof, and so on with respect to the income taxes related to the compensation income attributable to the pyramiding of paying out sufficient additional share units to satisfy each successive amount of required income tax withholding.

Applicable tax withholding obligations not satisfied at the time of grant as described above will be satisfied as provided in Section 10.2.

3.3 Tranches. The Restricted Share Units in the Award that are not Tax Share Units (that is, the total number of Restricted Share Units set forth on page 1 of the Agreement minus the number of Tax Share Units) are divided into three installments or tranches for purposes of determining the conduct and other conditions and provisions applicable to each portion of the RSUs and related Dividend Equivalents under the Agreement. This includes the conditions set forth in Section 4 related to Dividend Equivalents and the conditions set forth in Sections 5 and 6 relating to conduct-related provisions and forfeitures and to vesting and settlement provisions for each tranche.

The three Restricted Share Units and related Dividend Equivalents tranches (each, a “Tranche”) are set forth below:

•

one-third of the share units that are not Tax Share Units (rounded down to the nearest whole unit) are in the first tranche (“First Tranche”);

•

one-half of the remaining share units that are not Tax Share Units (rounded down to the nearest whole unit) are in the second tranche (“Second Tranche”); and

•

the remainder of the share units that are not Tax Share Units are in the third tranche (“Third Tranche”).

3.4 Restricted Share Units and Dividend Equivalents are not transferable. Restricted Share Units and related Dividend Equivalents are subject to forfeiture pursuant to the applicable conduct and other terms and conditions of the Agreement until vesting of the Restricted Share Units in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.

Provided that Restricted Share Units are not forfeited in accordance with the terms of Section 5 and vest in accordance with the terms of Section 6, those RSUs will be settled and paid out, generally in shares of PNC common stock, pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of Section 6. Restricted Share Units that are forfeited by Grantee pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the conduct provisions of Section 5 will be cancelled without payment of any consideration by PNC.

The right to ongoing Dividend Equivalents is granted in connection with the Tranche of Restricted Share Units to which those Dividend Equivalents relate and therefore shall terminate, without payment of any consideration by PNC, upon the cancellation or vesting, whichever is applicable, of the Tranche of Restricted Share Units to which those Dividend Equivalents relate. Due to the timing of the vesting of the Tax Share Units, no related Dividend Equivalents will be payable with respect to the Tax Share Units.

4. Dividend Equivalents.

Dividend Equivalents. These Dividend Equivalents are related to the Restricted Share Units other than the Tax Share Units, and Dividend Equivalents payments are applicable for the period during which the Tranche of Restricted Share Units to which they relate is outstanding. Dividend Equivalents apply to the period from and after the Award Grant Date until such time as the applicable Tranche of Restricted Share Units granted in connection with those Dividend Equivalents either (i) vests pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of Section 6 or (ii) is cancelled upon forfeiture in accordance with the terms of Section 5. At the end of such period (either the vesting date in accordance with Section 6 or cancellation date in accordance with Section 5), the related Dividend Equivalents terminate.

Due to the timing of the vesting of the Tax Share Units, no related Dividend Equivalents will be payable with respect to the Tax Share Units.

Dividend Equivalents payments are also subject to the additional conditions set forth below.

Additional Conditions. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 5.2(b), 12.11, and 14.9, termination or cancellation of the right to ongoing Dividend Equivalents will have no effect on cash payments made pursuant to this Section 4 prior to such termination or cancellation.

Where payment of Dividend Equivalents that would otherwise be made is suspended pursuant to Section 5.3 pending resolution of a potential forfeiture of the Restricted Share Units, then such payment will be made only if and when the suspension is terminated for reasons favorable to Grantee and the Restricted Share Units are not forfeited. No interest shall be paid with respect to any suspended payments. If the suspension is terminated for reasons adverse to Grantee, both the Restricted Share Units and any suspended Dividend Equivalents payments will be forfeited without payment.

Forfeiture Provisions; Termination Upon Failure to Meet Applicable Conduct Conditions.

such RSUs and related Dividend Equivalents, and neither Grantee nor any successors, heirs, assigns or legal representatives of Grantee will thereafter have any further rights or interest in the Restricted Share Units or the related right to Dividend Equivalents evidenced by the Agreement with respect to such RSUs and related Dividend Equivalents, or specified portion thereof, as applicable.

5.2 Forfeiture Upon Termination for Cause or Pursuant to Detrimental Conduct Provisions.

(b) Detrimental Conduct. At any time prior to the date that such Restricted Share Units vest in accordance with Section 6, Restricted Share Units and related Dividend Equivalents, or specified portion thereof, will be forfeited by Grantee to PNC and cancelled, without payment of any consideration by PNC, on the date and to the extent that PNC determines in its sole discretion to so cancel all or a specified portion of the Restricted Share Units and related Dividend Equivalents on the basis of its determination that Grantee has engaged in Detrimental Conduct as set forth in Section 12.11, whether such determination is made during the period of Grantee’s employment with the Corporation or after Grantee’s Termination Date; provided, however, that (i) no determination that Grantee has engaged in Detrimental Conduct may be made on or after the date of Grantee’s death and Detrimental Conduct will not apply to conduct by or activities of successors to the Restricted Share Units by will or the laws of descent and distribution in the event of Grantee’s death; (ii) no determination that Grantee has engaged in Detrimental Conduct may be made between the time PNC enters into an agreement providing for a Change of Control and the time such agreement either terminates or results in a Change of Control; and (iii) no determination that Grantee has engaged in Detrimental Conduct may be made after the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in Section 12).

5.3 Suspension and Forfeiture Related to Judicial Criminal Proceedings. If any criminal charges are brought against Grantee, in an indictment or in other analogous formal charges commencing judicial criminal proceedings, alleging the commission of a felony that relates to or arises out of Grantee’s employment or other service relationship with the Corporation, then to the extent that the Restricted Share Units or any portion thereof are still outstanding and have not yet vested, the vesting of those Restricted Share Units and any further Dividend Equivalent payments shall be automatically suspended.

Qualifying Termination. Grantee’s termination of employment will be considered to be a Qualifying Termination for purposes of this Award if both of the following conditions are met:

(1)

Grantee’s employment was not terminated by the Corporation for Cause (as defined in Section 12); and

(2)

Grantee’s termination of employment is with the approval of the Committee or other PNC Designated Person (as defined in Section 12).

A termination of employment will be considered to be with the approval of the Committee or other PNC Designated Person provided that the Committee or other PNC Designated Person either gives such approval prior to Grantee’s Termination Date (as defined in Section 12), or gives such approval (or is deemed to have so approved as provided in clause (b) below, if applicable) no later than 90 days after Grantee’s Termination Date.

If the Committee or other PNC Designated Person has not yet given such approval at the time of Grantee’s Termination Date but the other condition for a Qualifying Termination has been met, whether or not Grantee’s termination of employment is a Qualifying Termination will be resolved as follows.

(a)

If the Committee or other PNC Designated Person provides such approval on or before the end of the 90^th day after Grantee’s Termination Date, the termination will be a Qualifying Termination.

(b)

If a Change of Control occurs prior to the end of the 90^th day after Grantee’s Termination Date and if the Committee or other PNC Designated Person had not yet either approved or disapproved such termination of employment by the day immediately prior to the Change of Control, then the Committee or other PNC Designated Person will be deemed to have so approved the termination as of the day immediately prior to the Change of Control and Grantee’s termination will be considered a Qualifying Termination.

(c)

If the Committee or other PNC Designated Person specifically disapproves such termination and if clause (b) above is not applicable, Grantee’s termination will not be a Qualifying Termination.

(d)

If clause (b) above is not applicable and if the Committee or other PNC Designated Person has neither approved nor disapproved the termination by the end of the 90^th day after Grantee’s Termination Date, then Grantee’s termination of employment will not be considered a Qualifying Termination for purposes of this Section 5.2.

5.3 Forfeiture Upon Failure to Meet Service Requirements.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (b) below, if, at the time Grantee ceases to be employed by the Corporation, Grantee has failed to meet the service requirements for the Award as set forth in Section 5.2 prior to or as of Grantee’s Termination Date (as defined in Section 12), then all outstanding Restricted Share Units that have so failed to meet such service requirements, together with the right to receive any payment on or after Grantee’s Termination Date with respect to the Dividend Equivalents related to those Restricted Share Units, will be forfeited by Grantee to PNC and cancelled without payment of any consideration by PNC as of Grantee’s Termination Date.

(b) If, at the time Grantee ceases to be employed by the Corporation, Grantee’s termination of employment could still be a Qualifying Termination if the Committee or other PNC Designated Person so approves (or is deemed to so approve) within the time specified for such approval in Section 5.2, then the potential forfeiture of the Award for failure to meet the service requirements set forth in Section 5.2 (and payment with respect to Dividend Equivalents with respect to the Award) will be suspended until the earliest to occur of the following: (1) Grantee’s failure to meet the service requirements of Section 5.2 upon such termination failing to be a Qualifying Termination either upon the specific disapproval of the Committee or other PNC Designated Person or upon the 91^st day after Grantee’s Termination Date where the Committee or other PNC Designated Person has neither disapproved nor approved (or deemed approved) the termination by the end of the 90^th day after Grantee’s Termination Date; (2) the timely approval or deemed approval of the Committee or other PNC Designated Person such that Grantee’s termination of employment is considered a Qualifying Termination such that Grantee is considered to have met the service requirements of Section 5.2 for purposes of the Award; (3) Grantee’s death; or (4) the occurrence of a Change of Control.

5.4 Forfeiture Upon Termination for Cause or Pursuant to Detrimental Conduct Provisions.

5.5 Suspension and Forfeiture Related to Judicial Criminal Proceedings.

If any criminal charges are brought against Grantee, in an indictment or in other analogous formal charges commencing judicial criminal proceedings, alleging the commission of a felony that relates to or arises out of Grantee’s employment or other service relationship with the Corporation, then to the extent that the Restricted Share Units or any portion thereof are still outstanding and have not yet vested, the vesting of those Restricted Share Units and any further Dividend Equivalent payments shall be automatically suspended.

Such suspension of vesting shall continue until the earliest to occur of the following:

(3) Grantee’s death; or

Where vesting occurs pursuant to Section 6.1(iii) due to the occurrence of a Change of Control:

(1)

If, under the circumstances, the Change of Control is a permissible payment event under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, payment will be made as soon as practicable after the Change of Control date, but in no event later than December 31^st of the calendar year in which the Change of Control occurs or, if later, by the 15^th day of the third calendar month following the date on which the Change of 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 of Control would not comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, then payment will be made as soon as practicable after the 3^rd anniversary of the Award Grant Date (the date that would have been the scheduled vesting date for such Restricted Share Units had they vested pursuant to Section 6.1(i) rather than pursuant to Section 6.1(iii)), but in no event later than December 31^st of the calendar year in which such scheduled vesting date occurs.

Unless the Compensation Committee or other PNC Designated Person determines otherwise, where amounts are then payable hereunder to Grantee in the form of shares of PNC common stock, the Corporation will retain whole shares from any such amounts until such withholdings in the aggregate are sufficient to satisfy such minimum required withholding obligation. In the event that amounts are not then payable hereunder to Grantee in the form of shares or that such withholdings are otherwise not sufficient to meet the minimum amount of taxes then required to be withheld, withholding will be made from any amounts then payable hereunder to Grantee that are settled in cash until such withholdings in the aggregate are sufficient to satisfy such minimum required withholding obligation.
