1. Definitions. Certain terms used in this Standard Annual Incentive Deferral Plan Program 2015 Cash-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, “Plan” means The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. 2006 Incentive Award Plan as amended from time to time, and “Annual Incentive Deferral Plan” means The PNC Financial Services Group,
Inc. Annual Incentive Deferral Plan as amended from time to time. 
 2. Restricted Share Units with Related Dividend Equivalents
Award. Pursuant to the Plan and in accordance with the Annual Incentive Deferral Plan, and subject to the terms and conditions of the Award Agreement, PNC awards to the Grantee named above (“Grantee”) a cash-payable
share-denominated award opportunity of restricted share units (“Restricted Share Units”) 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 Award Agreement, including conduct and other conditions and forfeiture provisions, and to the Plan. 

3. Terms of Award. For the purpose of determining conduct and other conditions, forfeitures, and other conditions and provisions
applicable to each portion of the Restricted Share Units and related Dividend Equivalents under the Award Agreement, the Award is divided into three installments or tranches. This includes the provisions set forth in Section 4 related to
Dividend Equivalents and the provisions set forth in Sections 5 and 6 relating to forfeiture, adjustment, vesting and settlement provisions for each tranche. 

  
 -1- 

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

	 	•	 	one-third of the share units (rounded down to the nearest whole unit) are in the First Tranche; 

  

	 	•	 	one-half of the remaining share units (rounded down to the nearest whole unit) are in the Second Tranche; and 

  

	 	•	 	the remainder of the share units are in the Third Tranche. 

 Restricted Share Units and
Dividend Equivalents are not transferable. Restricted Share Units and related Dividend Equivalents are subject to forfeiture and adjustment pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Agreement until vesting of the Restricted Share Units in
accordance with the terms of the Agreement. 
 Restricted Share Units that are not forfeited by Grantee in accordance with the terms of
Section 5 and that are still outstanding and vest in accordance with the terms of Section 6 will be settled and paid out in cash pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of that Section 6. Restricted Share Units that are forfeited
by Grantee pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of Section 5 will be cancelled without payment of any consideration by PNC. 

The right to ongoing Dividend Equivalents is awarded in connection with the Restricted Share Units to which the Dividend Equivalents relate
and therefore will 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 Tranche of Restricted Share Units to which they relate is outstanding. Dividend Equivalents apply to the period from and after the Designated Marker Date until such time as the applicable Tranche of
Restricted Share Units awarded 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. 

  
 -2- 

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

After Record Date. Except as otherwise provided in Section 5(b), Section 5(d) or Section 14.8, 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. 
 Suspensions. Where payment of Dividend Equivalents that would otherwise be made is suspended pursuant to 5(e)
pending resolution of a potential forfeiture of the Restricted Share Units, then such payment will be made only if and when the suspension is resolved favorable to Grantee and the Restricted Share Units are not forfeited. No interest will be paid
with respect to any suspended payments. If the suspension is resolved adverse to Grantee, both the Restricted Share Units and any suspended Dividend Equivalents payments will be forfeited without payment. 

Clawbacks After Payment. Except as otherwise provided in Section 5(c) 5(d), Section 12.12 or Section 14.8, 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. 

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

(a) Termination Upon Forfeiture of Units. The Award is subject to the forfeiture provisions set forth in this Section 5. Upon
forfeiture and cancellation of a Tranche or Tranches or specified portion thereof, as the case may be, of Restricted Share Units and the right to receive payment with respect to related Dividend Equivalents

  
 -3- 

 
pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Section 5, the Award will terminate with respect to such Tranche or Tranches, or specified portion thereof, of 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 the Restricted Share Units or the related right to Dividend Equivalents evidenced
by the Award Agreement with respect to such Tranche or Tranches, or specified portion thereof, of Restricted Share Units and Related Dividend Equivalents, as applicable. 

(b) Termination for Cause. In the event that Grantee’s employment with the Corporation is terminated by the Corporation for Cause
prior to the 3rd anniversary of the Designated Marker Date and prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in Section 12), 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 related Dividend Equivalents, will be forfeited by Grantee to PNC and cancelled without payment of any consideration by PNC as of
Grantee’s Termination Date. 
 (c) Detrimental Conduct. At any time prior to the date that such Restricted Share Units and
related Dividend Equivalents vest in accordance with Section 6 or are forfeited or cancelled pursuant to other provisions of the Award Agreement, Restricted Share Units and Related Dividend Equivalents, or a 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, acting by a PNC Designated Person (as defined in Section 12), 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 defined in Section 12), 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 (other than with respect to a Tranche, if any, that does not vest immediately upon death), and Detrimental Conduct will not apply to conduct by or activities of successors to the Restricted Share Units and related Dividend
Equivalents 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. 

(d) Clawback, Adjustment or Recoupment. Restricted Share Units and related Dividend Equivalents shall be subject to rescission,
cancellation or recoupment, in whole or in part, if and to the extent so provided under PNC’s Incentive Compensation Adjustment and Clawback Policy, as in effect from time to time with respect to the Award, or any other applicable clawback,
adjustment or similar policy in effect on or established after the Designated Marker Date and to any clawback or recoupment that may be required by applicable law or regulation.

 (e) 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 Compensation Committee or its delegate or other PNC Designated Person may determine that
the vesting of those Restricted Share Units and any further Dividend Equivalents payments will be suspended. 
 Any such suspension of
vesting will continue until the earliest to occur of the following: 
 (i) 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; 
 (ii) 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; 

(iii) Grantee’s death; and 

(iv) the occurrence of a Change of Control. 

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

 6. Vesting and Settlement of Restricted Share Units. 

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

 

	 	(i)	the 1st anniversary of the Designated Marker Date in the case of the First Tranche share units, the 2nd
anniversary of the Designated Marker Date in the case of the Second Tranche share units, and the 3rd anniversary of the Designated Marker Date in the case of the Third Tranche share units, as the
case may be; provided, however, that the Grantee continues to be an employee of the Corporation through and including the applicable anniversary of the Designated Marker Date, unless PNC, in its sole discretion, affirmatively consents to
vesting the applicable Tranche; 

  

	 	(ii)	the date of Grantee’s death; and 

  

	 	(iii)	the end of the day immediately preceding the day a Change of Control 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 an applicable Tranche of Restricted Share Units, or portion
thereof, will end and such Dividend Equivalents will terminate either on the vesting date for such Tranche of Restricted Share Units in accordance with Section 6 or on the cancellation date for such Tranche of Restricted Share Units, or
applicable portion thereof, in accordance with Section 5, as the case may be. 
 (b) Settlement Amount. Outstanding Restricted
Share Units that have vested pursuant to the provisions of Section 6(a) will be paid out at the time set forth in Section 6(c) by the payment to Grantee of cash in an amount equal to the number of outstanding vested Restricted Share Units
being settled multiplied by the then current Fair Market Value (as defined in Section 12) of a share of PNC common stock on the vesting date (or as of the scheduled payment date pursuant to subsection (2) of the third bullet under
Section 6(c) if payment is made pursuant to that provision, as necessary), or in any case as otherwise provided pursuant to Section 8 as applicable. 

(c) 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(a) for such units, generally within 30 days but no later than December 31st of the calendar year in
which the vesting date occurs, subject to the provisions of the following bullets, if applicable. No interest will be paid with respect to any such payments made pursuant to this Section 6. 

  
 -6- 

	 	•	 	Where vesting occurs pursuant to Section 6(a)(ii) upon Grantee’s death, payment will be made no later than December 31st of the calendar year in which
Grantee’s death occurred or, if later, the 15th day of the 3rd calendar month following the date of Grantee’s death.

  

	 	•	 	Where PNC, in its sole discretion, deems the continuous employment requirement to have been satisfied with respect to the applicable Tranche pursuant to Section 6(a)(i), payment will be made as soon as practicable
after the date that would have been the scheduled vesting date for such Restricted Share Units and related Dividend Equivalents had they vested pursuant as of the applicable anniversary of the Designated Marker Date pursuant to Section 6(a)(i).

  

	 	•	 	Where vesting occurs pursuant to Section 6(a)(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 31st of the calendar year in which the Change of Control occurs or, if later, by the 15th 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 date that
would have been the scheduled vesting date for such Restricted Share Units had they vested pursuant to Section 6(a)(i) rather than pursuant to Section 6(a)(iii), but in no event later than December 31st of the calendar year in which such scheduled vesting date occurs. 

  

	 	•	 	Where vesting occurs pursuant to Section 6(a)(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 date
that would have been the scheduled vesting date for such Restricted Share Units had they vested pursuant to Section 6(a)(i) rather than pursuant to Section 6(a)(iii) but Grantee dies prior to that scheduled payout date, payment will be
made no later than December 31st 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 vesting would have occurred
pursuant to Section 6(a)(i) had they vested pursuant to Section 6(a)(i) rather than pursuant to Section 6(a)(iii)), the 15th day of the
3rd calendar month following the date of Grantee’s death.

 Payment pursuant to the Award will not be made unless and until all applicable tax withholding

(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 8(b), 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 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. 

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. 
 (b) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control,
(i) 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, and (ii) 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. 
 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.

accordance with the terms of Section 6, 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 PNC. 

  
 -8- 

 (c) Any 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. 
 If any such 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. 

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 herewith, no additional withholding may be made. 

11. Employment. Neither the awarding of the Restricted Share Units and related Dividend Equivalents nor any payment with respect
to such Award authorized hereunder nor any term or provision of the Award 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

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 Award Agreement, including service
requirements, conduct and other conditions and adjustments and forfeiture provisions, and to the Plan. 
 3. Terms of Award.
The Award is subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Award Agreement and to the Plan. 

  
 -1- 

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

Restricted Share Units that are not forfeited in accordance with the terms of Section 5, that vest in accordance with the terms of
Section 6, and that remain outstanding will be settled and paid out, generally in shares of PNC common stock, all pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of Section 6 and subject to Section 8. Restricted Share Units that are
forfeited 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 will terminate, without payment of any consideration by PNC, upon the cancellation or vesting, as 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
(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 (the vesting date in accordance with Section 6 or
cancellation date in accordance with Section 5, as applicable), 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

  
 -2- 

 
relate were outstanding on the dividend record date for such dividend. Such amounts will 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. 
 Additional Conditions. 

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

After Record Date. Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.4(a) (Termination for Cause), Section 5.6 (Clawback, Adjustment
or Recoupment), or Section 14.9 (Applicable Law; Clawback, Adjustment or Recoupment), 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. 

Suspensions. Where payment of Dividend Equivalents that would otherwise be made is suspended pursuant to Section 5.3 or pursuant
to 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 resolved favorable to Grantee and the Restricted Share Units are not forfeited. No
interest will be paid with respect to any suspended payments. If the suspension is resolved adverse to Grantee, both the Restricted Share Units and any suspended Dividend Equivalents payments will be forfeited without payment. 

Clawbacks After Payment. Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.4(b) (Detrimental Conduct), Section 5.6 (Clawback,
Adjustment or Recoupment), Section 12.11 (Definitions - Detrimental Conduct), or Section 14.9 (Applicable Law; Clawback, Adjustment or Recoupment), 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. 
 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 the Restricted Share Units, or specified portion thereof, 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, or specified portion thereof, 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 Award 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 

  
 -3- 

 
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

	 	(vii)	The Compensation Committee (as defined in Section 12) or its delegate or other PNC Designated Person (as defined in Section 12) determines, in its sole discretion and prior to Grantee’s Termination Date,
that, with respect to all or a specified portion of Grantee’s then outstanding Restricted Share Units that have not yet vested, the service requirements will be deemed to have been satisfied with respect to such share units; provided that if
the Compensation Committee or its delegate or other PNC Designated Person determines, in its sole discretion, that such deemed satisfaction of the service requirements shall be subject to any accompanying restrictions, terms or conditions, then such
conditions shall have been timely satisfied (or shall be deemed to have been timely satisfied upon the earlier occurrence of Grantee’s death or of a Change of Control) no later than by the end of the day immediately preceding the 3rd anniversary of the Award Grant Date. 

  
 -4-

considered to be a “Qualifying Retirement Termination” for purposes of this Award if all of the following conditions are met: 
  

	 	(1)	Grantee’s termination of employment is a Retirement (as defined in Section 12); 

  

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

  

	 	(3)	Grantee’s termination of employment occurs on or after the 1st anniversary of the Award Grant Date. 

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 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, except as otherwise provided in Section 4, with respect to the Dividend Equivalents related
to those Restricted Share Units, will be forfeited 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 Compensation Committee or its delegate or other PNC Designated Person for such provision to apply within the time
so specified by the Compensation Committee or its delegate 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 Compensation Committee or its delegate or other PNC Designated Person for such purpose or, if earlier or if no such time period is

purposes of that portion of the Award; (3) Grantee’s death; or (4) the occurrence of a Change of Control. 

  
 -5- 

 If such suspension is resolved adverse to Grantee pursuant to clause (1) above, then all
such 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 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 such Restricted Share Units will 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

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 and cancelled without payment of any consideration by PNC as of Grantee’s
Termination Date. 
 (b) Detrimental Conduct. At any time prior to the date that such Restricted Share Units vest in accordance with
Section 6, Restricted Share Units, or specified portion thereof, and related Dividend Equivalents, including Dividend Equivalents that may already have been paid to Grantee, will be forfeited and cancelled, without payment of any consideration
by PNC, on the date and to the extent that PNC, acting by the Compensation Committee or its delegate or other PNC Designated Person (as defined in Section 12), as applicable, (1) determines in its sole discretion that Grantee has engaged

the Dividend Equivalents related to such Restricted Share Units, including Dividend Equivalents related to such Restricted Share Units that may already have been paid to Grantee, on the basis of such 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 and related
Dividend Equivalents by will or the laws of descent and distribution in the event of Grantee’s death; (ii) in the event that Grantee’s termination of employment was a Qualifying Anticipatory Termination, no determination that Grantee
has engaged in Detrimental Conduct may be made on or after Grantee’s Termination Date; (iii) no determination that Grantee has engaged in Detrimental Conduct may be made between the time PNC enters

  
 -6- 

 
into an agreement providing for a Change of Control and the time such agreement either terminates or results in a Change of Control; and (iv) no determination that Grantee has engaged in
Detrimental Conduct may be made after the occurrence of a Change of Control.

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 Compensation Committee or its delegate or
other PNC Designated Person may determine that the vesting of those Restricted Share Units and any further Dividend Equivalents payments will be suspended. 

Any such suspension of vesting will 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; and 

(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, 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 will proceed in accordance with Section 6, as applicable, any Dividend Equivalents payments that had been suspended will be paid, and payment of ongoing Dividend Equivalents, if any, will resume in accordance with
Section 4 as applicable. No interest will be paid with respect to any suspended payments.

but in no event later than December 31st of the calendar year in which the Change of Control occurs or, if later, by the 15th 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 3rd 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 31st 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

death occurred or, if later but not beyond the end of the calendar year in which the 3rd anniversary of the Award Grant Date occurs, the 15th day of the 3rd calendar month following the date of Grantee’s death. 

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 in accordance with Section 10. 
 If there is a dispute regarding payment of a final
award amount, PNC will settle the undisputed portion of the award amount, if any, within the time frame set forth above in this Section 6.3, 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 U.S. Internal Revenue Code. 
 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 of PNC common stock 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 will be made by the Compensation Committee or its delegate in its sole discretion and will 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

  
 -10- 

 
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 out
in accordance with the terms of Section 6, such delivery of shares and/or other payment will 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, will 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 its delegate or other PNC Designated Person determines otherwise, the Corporation will retain whole
shares of PNC common stock from any amounts then payable to Grantee hereunder or pursuant to any other Restricted Share Units previously awarded to Grantee under the Plan, in the form of shares of PNC common stock, and will withhold cash from any
amounts then payable to Grantee hereunder that are settled in cash. 
 If any such 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 

  
 -11- 

 
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 Award 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.

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

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

subsidiaries, that relates to or arises out of Grantee’s employment or other service relationship with the Corporation.

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 PNC, by PNC’s 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
