WHEREAS, The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (the “Corporation”) sponsors The
PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. ERISA Excess Plan (the “Plan”);

WHEREAS, the Corporation wishes to amend the Plan to coordinate the timing of

“(ii) amounts representing accounts merged into this Plan from a prior excess
pension plan, to the extent separate accounting is determined by the Committee
or its delegate to be necessary in order to ensure compliance with Section 409A
of the Code or otherwise, including without limitation amounts included in this
Plan as a result of the mergers of the Mercantile Plan and the National City
Plan into this Plan.”

2. Effective September 1, 2009, Section 1.12 (“Excess Benefits”) is amended to
add the following new sentence immediately at the end thereof:

“For purposes of (A) above, in the event that payment of annual incentive

form of “long-term restricted stock” as defined in the Interim Final Rule on
TARP Standards for Compensation and Corporate Governance in advance of the date
on which payment of annual incentive compensation under the applicable executive
and management incentive plan(s) is made in cash to those employees whose
compensation is not restricted under the Interim Final Rule (the “normal payment
date”), the payment of such long-term restricted stock shall be deemed to be
made on the normal payment date for purposes of determining the amount in (A) to
be used to calculate a Participant’s Excess Benefits under this Plan.”
