deferred under the Plan prior to January 1, 2005 but vested after December 31, 2004, and which will be accounted for separately from pre-1996 deferrals and from amounts deferred on or after January 1, 2005; and (iv) amounts
representing accounts merged into this Plan from a prior deferred compensation 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
Internal Revenue Code or otherwise, including without limitation amounts included in this Plan as the result of the mergers of the Mercantile Plan and the Sterling Plan into this Plan. The Participant’s Account will also include any amounts
deferred that are subject to restrictions and the possibility of forfeiture under the terms of any Annual Cash Incentive Award made under any incentive plan.

the Exchange Act or any successor provisions thereto), directly or

after its occurrence; 


  

	 	(b)	the Corporation consummates a merger, consolidation, share exchange, division or other reorganization or transaction of the Corporation (a “Fundamental Transaction”) with
any other corporation, other than a Fundamental Transaction that results in the voting securities of the Corporation outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting

delivered Deferral Election Form with respect to any Section 1.3(a) or Section 1.3(b) bonus for the referenced year. Such Deferral Election and Deferral Election Form shall apply to the Severance Agreement Amount notwithstanding that
Participant had incurred a Severance from Service at the time the Severance Agreement Amount would be made absent the Deferral Election and that such payment amount is provided pursuant to a Severance Agreement rather than pursuant to a
participating incentive plan. 

  

	1.14	“Disability” means, except as may otherwise be required by Internal Revenue Code Section 409A, that a Participant either (i) is unable to engage in any

emergency plus amounts necessary to pay taxes reasonably anticipated as a result of the distribution, after taking into account the extent to which such unforeseeable emergency is or may be relieved: 

  

	 	(a)	through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise; or 

  

	 	(b)	by liquidation of the Participant’s assets, to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not itself cause financial hardship.

 SECTION 2 
 ELIGIBILITY FOR PARTICIPATION 
 In general, an Employee may be eligible to participate in the Plan for a Plan
Year if: (i) his or her annual earnings are in excess of the Compensation Threshold for such Plan Year; (ii) his or her employer is the Corporation or an Affiliate that has been designated by the Plan Manager as an Employer for purposes of
the Plan; and (iii) the Employee is participating in a cash incentive plan that pays annually and is eligible for deferral hereunder. The decision as to whether an Employee is eligible to participate in the Plan is reserved to the Plan Manager
in his or her sole discretion. 
 SECTION 3 
 BENEFITS 
  

	3.1	Deferral Amount 

 Any Employee who is eligible to
participate in the Plan pursuant to the criteria set forth in Section 2 of the Plan may elect to defer payment of all or any part of an Eligible Annual Cash Incentive Award by designating either a dollar amount or a percentage of such Eligible
Annual Cash Incentive Award for deferral; provided, however, that (i) the Participant’s gross Deferral Amount may not be less than $5,000 for any single deferral; and (ii) if the participant designates a dollar amount for deferral and
100% of his Annual Cash Incentive Award is less than such amount, then his deferral will be equal to 100% of the Annual Cash Incentive Award (if such amount is at least $5000). If a percentage election (or deemed election under (iii) above)
would produce a Deferral Amount of less than $5000, no deferral shall be made. 
 If the Participant also participates in the ISP or, as
applicable, the RSP at the time of an Annual Cash Incentive Award, a portion of the Eligible Annual Cash Incentive Award amount that the Participant elects to defer under this Plan will be transferred to the SISP. The portion that will be allocated
to the SISP will equal the percentage of “Compensation” (as defined in the ISP or, as applicable, the RSP) that the Participant has elected to defer under the SISP for the year for which the Annual Cash Incentive Award is earned multiplied
by an amount equal to the difference between (a) the Participant’s “Compensation” under the ISP or, as applicable, the RSP calculated as if Internal Revenue Code Section 401(a)(17) were not applicable and the Participant had
not made a deferral under this Plan, and (b) the Participant’s “Compensation” actually calculated under the ISP or, as applicable, the RSP. Amounts transferred to the SISP will be subject to the terms and conditions of the SISP.

  

	3.2	Deferral Election Form 

 The Plan Manager must
receive the Participant’s Deferral Election Form by the close of PNC’s last business day immediately prior to January 1 of each calendar year for which 

  

 8 








 
the Participant is eligible to make a Deferral Election hereunder. Any Deferral Election Form will apply only to an Eligible Annual Cash Incentive Award
granted to the Participant for the calendar year (or any portion of the calendar year) beginning on such January 1. Each Deferral Election Form will also specify the year in which payment will commence, the form of distribution and the
applicable Distribution Date. 
 Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, a Participant is permitted to file a Deferral
Election Form with the Plan Manager for any Eligible Annual Cash Incentive Award that is performance-based compensation, as defined under Internal Revenue Code Section 409A and the regulations thereunder, at any date established by the
Committee that is at least six months before the end of the relevant performance period related to such performance-based compensation. 
  

	3.3	Stock Deferrals 

 From time to time, certain of the
Corporation’s eligible incentive plans may permit or require Participants to defer incentive awards under this Plan that they would otherwise receive in the form of restricted shares of the Corporation’s common stock (“Stock
Deferrals”). Such Stock Deferrals may also be subject to such terms and conditions as may be imposed by the Corporation under the terms of the incentive plans or the individual awards under such plans, including, but not limited to, execution
of such agreements between the Corporation and the Participant as may be required by the Corporation as a condition to receipt of the award and its eligibility for deferral under this Plan. 
 Stock Deferrals will be credited to Participants’ Accounts as set forth in Section 1.1 of the Plan. Stock Deferrals will be subject to any
restricted period as may be applicable to the underlying incentive award, and will be deemed to be invested in the Corporation’s common stock during any such restricted period and may not be transferred to other deemed investments until the
restricted period has terminated. Distributions from the Stock Deferral portion of Accounts will not be permitted until any restricted period has terminated. Hardship distributions made pursuant to Section 4.3 of the Plan will not include any
portion of a Participant’s Account attributable to Stock Deferrals. 
  

	3.4	Suspension or Revocation of Deferrals  

 A
Participant’s deferral election for a calendar year may be suspended by the Committee or its delegate for the remainder of such calendar year upon the Participant’s taking a hardship withdrawal under the ISP or the RSP (as applicable).
Such suspension shall apply to any Eligible Annual Cash Incentive subject to such Deferral Election that would otherwise have been payable after the date of such suspension and before the end of such calendar year. In addition, all of a
Participant’s existing deferral elections will be deemed to have been revoked upon (i) a termination of the Plan or the portion thereof covering the Participant, to the extent permitted under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code;
or (ii) the Participant’s Severance from Service (except with respect to a Severance Agreement Amount). 
  

 9 








 SECTION 4 
 DISTRIBUTION OF DEFERRAL AMOUNTS AND PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS 
  

	4.1	Time of Distribution 

 Distributions of the
Participant’s Account attributable to any Deferral Amount will commence either on a specified Distribution Date or on the first Distribution Date that is at least six months after the Participant’s Severance from Service, in accordance
with the Participant’s Deferral Election Form; provided, however, that no Participant may elect to defer the payment of any Deferral Amount for a period of less than one full calendar year; and provided, further, that (i) if a Participant
incurs a Severance from Service which is not due to Retirement, death or Disability, or (ii) if the Participant fails to select a time when payment of the Participant’s Account attributable to any Deferral Amount will commence, payment of
the Participant’s entire Account (in the case of (i) above) or such portion of the Participant’s Account (in the case of (ii) above) will be made as of the first Distribution Date that is at least six months after the
Participant’s Severance From Service. 
  

	4.2	Manner of Distribution 

 All distributions will be
payable in a lump sum or annual installments over a period designated by the Participant not to exceed the lesser of 10 years or the life expectancy of the Participant (or the joint life expectancy of the Participant’s and the
Participant’s designated beneficiary), based upon life expectancy tables approved by the Plan Manager. The form of distribution applicable to a Participant’s Account attributable to any Deferral Amount will be elected at the time of the
Participant’s Deferral Election on each Deferral Election Form; provided, however, that if (i) a Participant incurs a Severance from Service which is not due to Retirement, death or Disability, or (ii) the Participant fails to select
a form for the payment of a Participant’s Account attributable to any Deferral Amount, payment of the Participant’s entire Account (in the case of (i) above) or such portion of the Participant’s Account (in the case of
(ii) above) will be made in the form of a lump sum. Except as otherwise provided in Section 13.13, a Participant who has not already commenced receiving installment distributions with respect to a Deferral Amount may subsequently change
the time or form of distribution for the portion of his or her Account attributable to such Deferral Amount only if (i) such change is made by filing a new Deferral Election Form no later than twelve (12) months prior to the Distribution
Date for such portion of his or her Account, (ii) such change is not effective unless twelve (12) months have elapsed from the date on which the change is made, and (iii) such change defers the Distribution Date for such portion of
his or her Account by at least five (5) years from the Distribution Date applicable under the prior Deferral Election Form. No more than two (2) changes may be made in prior elections with respect to any portion of the Participant’s
Account applicable to a Deferral Amount. If applicable, the first annual installment payment will be made as soon as may be 

  

 10 








 
practicable after the Distribution Date in the year designated by the Participant with the remaining installments (if any) continuing to be payable as soon
as may be practicable after the same Distribution Date in each year thereafter. 
 Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary,
any account balances merged into the Plan from the Mercantile Plan and the Sterling Plan, as provided in Section 13.11 of the Plan, will be distributed in accordance with the distribution provisions of the Mercantile Plan or the Sterling Plan,
as applicable, and the distribution elections previously elected under the Mercantile Plan and the Sterling Plan (and in the case of the Sterling Plan, any special provisions with respect to the timing and form of payment upon the occurrence of a
“Change in Control” of Sterling Financial Corporation). Except as otherwise provided in Section 13.13, former participants in the Mercantile Plan or the Sterling Plan may change their previous distribution election under the
Mercantile Plan or the Sterling Plan, as applicable; provided, that such change will be effective only if (i) such change is made by filing a new Deferral Election Form no later than twelve (12) months prior to the original distribution
date applicable under the Mercantile Plan or the Sterling Plan, (ii) such change is not effective unless twelve (12) months have elapsed from the date on which the change is made, and (iii) such change defers the distribution date by
at least five (5) years from the originally applicable distribution date. 
  

	4.3	Hardship Distribution 

 Upon approval of the Plan
Manager, payment of all or any portion of the Participant’s Account will be made in the event of the Participant’s Hardship. Payment of any Hardship distribution will be made only in cash in a single lump sum as soon as administratively
practicable, but no later than ninety (90) days, after approval. A withdrawal by a Participant on account of a Hardship will have no effect on any amounts remaining in such Participant’s Account, and will not have any effect on any current
or future Deferral Election after the withdrawal. 
  

	4.4	Death Benefit 

 If the Participant’s Severance
From Service occurs because of the Participant’s death, either before or after payments commence, the balance of the Participant’s Account will be distributed to the Participant’s Beneficiary or Beneficiaries in a single lump-sum
payment within 90 days of the Participant’s death. 
 SECTION 5 
 INVESTMENT FUNDS 
 Deferral Amounts credited to a Participant’s Account under the
Plan will be deemed to be invested in the investment fund or funds selected by the Participant in accordance with procedures established by the Plan Manager. The Participant may elect to change the investment fund elections in accordance with
procedures established by the Plan Manager. The ISP 

  

 11 








 
Administrative Committee will, in its sole discretion, determine the various investment funds that will be available for the deemed investment of all
Deferral Amounts. If the Participant fails to select an investment fund or funds with respect to any Deferral Amount, such Deferral Amount will be automatically invested in a short-term investment fund as may be designated from time to time by the
ISP Administrative Committee, until the Participant provides investment directions in accordance with procedures established by the Plan Manager. The Participant’s Account will be valued daily. 
 The Committee or its delegate, in its sole and absolute discretion, will establish procedures for allocating earnings to the Participant’s Account. 
 SECTION 6 
 DESIGNATION OF
BENEFICIARIES 
 The Participant will designate a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries to receive the balance of the Participant’s Account upon the
Participant’s death. Such designation will be on a form approved by the Plan Manager and will not be effective until the Plan Manager receives the form. If no valid Beneficiary designation form is on file with the Plan Manager upon the
Participant’s death, then the balance of the Participant’s Account will be payable to the Beneficiary designated by the Participant under the Employer’s group life insurance plan, or, if no such designation exists, to the
Participant’s estate. For the sake of clarity, Beneficiary or Beneficiaries designations under any plan that is merged into the Plan (the “Prior Plan”) will be honored until a Participant designates a new Beneficiary or Beneficiaries
under the Plan or until the Participant revokes his or her prior Beneficiary or Beneficiaries designations under the Prior Plan. 
 SECTION 7 
 TRUST FUND 
 No assets of the Corporation or any Employer will be segregated or earmarked with respect to any Deferral Amounts and all such amounts will constitute unsecured contractual obligations of the Employer. If the
Corporation chooses to contribute to the Trust to offset its obligation under this Plan, all assets or property held by the Trust will at all times remain subject to the claims of the general creditors of the Corporation or any Employer. 

 

 12

such person may request a review of his or her claim. 
  

	8.2	Review Procedure 

 Within 60 days after the date on
which the Participant or Beneficiary receives a written notice of a denied claim (or, if applicable, within 60 days after the date on which such denial is considered to have occurred), such person (or his or her duly authorized representative) may
(a) file a written request with the Committee for a review of his or her denied claim and of pertinent documents, and (b) submit written issues and comments to the Committee. The Committee will notify such person of its decision in
writing. Such notification will be written in a manner calculated to be understood by such person and will contain specific reasons for the decision as well as specific references to pertinent Plan provisions. The decision on review will be made
within 60 days after the Committee receives the request for review. If the decision on review is not made within such period, the claim will be considered denied. 
  

	8.3	Claims and Review Procedure Not Mandatory After a Change in Control 

 After the occurrence of a Change in Control, the claims procedure and review procedure provided for in this Section 8 will be provided for the use and benefit of Participants who may choose to use such
procedures, but compliance with the provisions of this Section 8 will not be mandatory for any Participant claiming benefits after a Change in Control. It will not be necessary for any Participant to exhaust these procedures and remedies after
a Change in Control prior to bringing any legal claim or action, or asserting any other demand, for payments or other benefits to which such Employee claims entitlement.

 SECTION 9 
 ADMINISTRATION; DELEGATION 
 The Committee will have the sole and absolute authority to determine eligibility
for benefits and administer, interpret, construe and vary the terms of the Plan; provided, however, that after a Change in Control, the Committee will be subject to the direction of the trustee of the Trust with respect to the exercise of the
authority granted by this Section 9 and elsewhere in this Plan. 
 This Plan is intended to be “a plan which is unfunded and is maintained by an
employer primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees” within the meaning of Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1) of ERISA and will be administered in a manner
consistent with that intent. 
 The Board or the Committee may, in its sole discretion, delegate authority hereunder, including but not limited to delegating
authority to modify, amend, administer, interpret, construe or vary the Plan, to the extent permitted by applicable law or administrative or regulatory rule. 
 All administrative costs and expenses of the Plan, to the extent permitted under applicable law, will be allocated among and deducted from Accounts of all Participants on a pro rata basis in accordance with procedures determined by
the Plan Manager. 
 SECTION 10 
 AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION 
 The Committee will have the sole and absolute discretion to modify, amend or
terminate this Plan, in whole or in part, at any time; provided, however, that no modification, amendment or termination will be made that would have the effect of decreasing the amount payable to any Participant or Beneficiary hereunder without the
consent of such Participant or Beneficiary. In the event of any termination of the Plan or any portion thereof, payment of affected Participants’ Accounts shall be made under and in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the applicable
elections, except that the Committee may determine, in its sole discretion, to accelerate payments to all such Participants if and to the extent that such acceleration is permitted under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. 
 After a Change in Control, the Plan may not be amended in any manner that adversely affects the administration or payment of a Participant’s benefits hereunder
(including but not limited to the timing and form or payment of benefits hereunder) without the consent of the Participant, nor may the provisions of this Section 10 or Section 11 be amended after a Change in Control with respect to a
Participant without the written consent of the Participant; provided, however, that the failure of the Participant to consent to any such amendment will not impair the ability of the Committee to amend the Plan with respect to any other Participant
who has consented to such amendment.

 SECTION 11 
 SUCCESSORS 
 In addition to any obligations imposed by law upon any successor(s) to the Corporation and the
Employers, the Corporation and the Employers will be obligated to require any successor(s) (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, operation of law, or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of
the Corporation and the Employers to expressly assume and agree to perform this Plan in the same manner and to the same extent that the Corporation and the Employers would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place; in the event
of such a succession, references to “Corporation” and “Employers” herein will thereafter be deemed to include such successor(s). Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, the Corporation’s and the Employers’
obligations under this Plan are not assignable or transferable except, in the discretion of the Corporation, to (i) any corporation, partnership or limited liability company which acquires all or substantially all of the assets of an Employer;
or (ii) any corporation, partnership or limited liability company into which an Employer may be merged or consolidated. 
 SECTION
12 
 GOVERNING LAW 
 The
Plan will be governed according to the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without reference to its conflict of laws provisions, to the extent not preempted by federal law. 
 SECTION 13 
 MISCELLANEOUS 
  

	13.1	Liability of the Board and the Committee 

 Neither
the Board nor the Committee will be liable to any person for any action taken or admitted in connection with the administration, interpretation, construction or variance of the Plan. 
  

	13.2	No Contract of Employment 

 Nothing herein will be
construed as an offer or commitment by the Corporation or any Affiliate to continue any Participant’s employment with it for any period of time. 
  

 15 









	13.3	Compensation Under Other Plans 

 Any amount deferred
and/or payable under this Plan shall not be considered Compensation for the purpose of computing benefits to which such Participant may be entitled under any qualified pension plan (as that term is defined in section 3(3) of ERISA) or other
arrangement of the Corporation or an Affiliate for the benefit of Employees, except as specified in such plan or arrangement. 
  

	13.4	Withholding 

 The Corporation or an Affiliate shall
have the right to deduct from payment of any amount under the Plan any taxes required by law to be withheld from a Participant or Beneficiary with respect to such payment. 
  

	13.5	Spendthrift Clause 

 The right of the Participants
to any amounts deferred or invested in this Plan will not be transferable or assignable and will not be subject to alienation, encumbrance, garnishment, attachment, execution or levy of any kind, voluntary or involuntary, except when, where and if
compelled by applicable law. For the sake of clarity, domestic relations orders purporting to assign benefits under the Plan do not apply to the Plan. 
  

	13.6	Severability 

 Whenever possible, each provision of
this Plan will be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of the Plan is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, then (a) such provision will be deemed to be amended
to, and to have contained from the outset such language as is necessary to, accomplish the objectives of the provision as originally written to the fullest extent permitted by law, and (b) other provisions of this Plan will remain in full force
and effect. 
  

	13.7	Construction 

 No rule of strict construction shall
be applied against the Corporation, any Affiliate, the Committee, the Board, the Plan Manager or any other person regarding the interpretation of any terms of this Plan or any rule or procedure established by the Committee. 
 Where the context allows, words in the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter genders, the plural shall include the singular and the
singular shall include the plural. 
 The captions of sections and paragraphs of this Plan are for convenience only and shall not control or
affect the meaning or construction of any of its provisions. 
  

 16 









	13.8	Corporation and Affiliate Liability 

 Whenever, in
the Committee’s or the Plan Manager’s opinion, any person entitled to receive any payment is under a legal disability, a minor, or incapacitated in any way, so as to be unable to manage his or her financial affairs, the Corporation or an
Affiliate, at its discretion, may make such payment for the benefit of such person to his or her legal representative, or to a relative or friend of such person for his or her benefit, or it may apply the payment for the benefit of such person in
any manner it deems advisable. When the Corporation or an Affiliate makes any payment pursuant to this subsection, it shall be considered as a complete discharge of its liability for the making of such payments under the Plan. 
  

	13.9	Entire Agreement 

 This writing constitutes the
final and complete embodiment of the understandings of the parties hereto and all prior understandings and communications of the parties oral or written concerning this Plan are hereby renounced, revoked and superseded. 
  

	13.10	Notices 

 All notices to the Corporation hereunder
shall be delivered to the attention of the Committee or to the Plan Manager acting on its behalf. Any notice or filing required or permitted to be given to the Committee or the Corporation under this Plan shall be sufficient if in writing and hand
delivered, or sent by registered or certified mail, to the Committee or to the Plan Manager, at the principal office of the Corporation. Such notice shall be deemed given as of the date of delivery or, if delivery is made by mail, as of the date
shown on the postmark or the receipt for registration or certification. 
  

	13.11	Mergers of Mercantile Plan and Sterling Plan 

 The
Mercantile Plan was merged into the Plan effective September 15, 2007, and the Sterling Plan was merged into the Plan effective January 1, 2009. Under the Plan, each individual who had an account balance merged into the Plan from the
Mercantile Plan or the Sterling Plan has an Account equal to or greater than the account balance such individual had under the Mercantile Plan or the Sterling Plan immediately before the merger. 
  

	13.12	Compliance with Law 

 The Plan is intended to comply
with applicable law. Without limiting the foregoing, the Plan is intended to comply with the applicable requirements of Internal Revenue Code Section 409A, and will be administered in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 409A to
the extent that Internal Revenue Code Section 409A applies to the Plan. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, distributions from the Plan may only be made in a manner, and upon an event, permitted by Internal Revenue Code


  

 17 








 
Section 409A. If any payment or benefit cannot be provided or made at the time specified herein without incurring penalties under Internal
Revenue Code Section 409A, then such benefit or payment will be provided in full at the earliest time thereafter when such penalties will not be imposed. To the extent that any provision of the Plan would cause a conflict with the applicable
requirements of Internal Revenue Code Section 409A, or would cause the administration of the Plan to fail to satisfy the applicable requirements of Internal Revenue Code Section 409A, such provision shall be deemed null and void to the
extent permitted by applicable law. 
  

	13.13	Transition Special Election 

 Participants in the
Plan as of November 21, 2008 were provided an opportunity, as permitted under transition guidance issued under Code Section 409A, to file a new payment election on or before December 31, 2008 with respect to their Account attributable
to all Deferral Amounts subject to Deferral Election Forms filed in 2004, 2005, 2006 and/or 2007. Any such election made by a Participant shall supersede and replace the elections made on his Deferral Election Forms for all such years for purposes
of determining the timing and manner of distribution under Section 4.1 and Section 4.2.
