 The
Corporation desires to employ Employee and Employee desires to accept such employment on the terms set forth below. 
 In consideration of
the mutual promises set forth below and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which the parties acknowledge, the Corporation and Employee agree as follows:

 1.2 Employee shall devote all working
time and best efforts to successfully perform his duties and advance the Corporation’s interests. During his employment, Employee shall not engage in any other business activities of any nature whatsoever (including board memberships) for which
he receives compensation without the Corporation’s prior consent; provided, however, this provision does not prohibit him from personally owning and trading in stocks, bonds, securities, real estate, commodities or other investment properties
for his own benefit which do not create actual or potential conflicts of interest with the Corporation. 
 2. COMPENSATION.

 2.1 Base Salary. Employee’s annual salary for all services rendered shall be Four Hundred and Twenty Thousand and 00/100

to Corporation employees at Employee’s level; provided, however, that Employee’s participation is subject to the applicable terms, conditions and eligibility requirements of these plans and programs, some of which are within the plan
administrator’s discretion, as they may exist from time to time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee shall be entitled to a minimum of four (4) weeks of annual vacation. Subject to applicable state law, accrued, unused vacation may not
be carried over from year to year. 
 2.6 Benefit Plans Subject to Amendment. Nothing in this Agreement shall require the

modify, revise or revoke any such plans, programs or benefits. Any amendments, modifications, revisions and revocations of these plans, programs and benefits shall apply to Employee. Nothing in this Agreement shall afford Employee any greater rights
or benefits with regard to these plans, programs and benefits than are afforded to him under their applicable terms, conditions and eligibility requirements, some of which are within the plan administrator’s discretion, as they may exist from
time to time.

 2.7 Offset for Disability Payments. If at any time during which Employee is receiving
salary or post-termination payments from the Corporation, he receives payments on account of mental or physical disability from any Corporation-provided plan, then the Corporation, in its discretion, may reduce his salary or post-termination
payments by the amount of such disability payments. 
 3. TERM OF EMPLOYMENT AND TERMINATION. The term of employment under this
Agreement shall be for a two (2) year period commencing on July 2, 2007 and terminating on July 2, 2009 subject to the following provisions: 
 3.1 Automatic Renewal. Upon the expiration of the original term or any renewal term of employment, Employee’s employment shall be automatically renewed for a one (1) year period unless, at
least sixty (60) days prior to the renewal date, either party gives the other party written notice of its intent not to continue the employment relationship. During any renewal term of employment, the terms, conditions and provisions set forth
in this Agreement shall remain in effect unless modified in accordance with Section 8. 
 3.2 Without Cause. During the
original or any extension term, the employment relationship hereunder shall be terminated without cause thirty (30) days after either the Corporation or Employee gives notice of such termination to the other party. 
 3.3 With Cause. The Corporation may terminate Employee’s employment immediately without notice at any time for the following reasons
which shall constitute “Cause”: (i) the willful and continued failure by Employee to substantially perform his duties with the Corporation; (ii) Employee’s insubordination in responding to any specific, reasonable
instructions from either the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer or Board of Directors; (iii) conduct by the Employee which is demonstrably and materially injurious to the Corporation, monetarily or otherwise; or (iv) the conviction
of Employee of, or the entry of a plea of guilty or nolo contendere by Employee to, any crime involving moral turpitude or any felony. Prior to a termination pursuant to Section 3.3(i), Employee shall be given written notice of the manner in
which he has failed to perform and a thirty (30) day opportunity to cure such failure. 
 3.4 Death or Disability. The
Corporation may terminate Employee’s employment without notice in the event of Employee’s death or “Disability” which shall mean Employee’s physical or mental inability to perform the essential functions of his duties with
or without reasonable accommodation for a period of 180 consecutive days or 180 days in total within a 365-day period as determined by the Corporation in its reasonable discretion and in accordance with applicable law. 
 3.5 Survival. Section 4 (Compensation Upon Termination), Section 5 (Competitive Business Activities, Trade Secrets, Confidential
Information and Corporation Property), and Section 6 (Change in Control) shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement, regardless of the reasons for such expiration or termination, until the obligations set forth therein have
been satisfied. 
 4. COMPENSATION UPON TERMINATION. 
 4.1 By Corporation For Cause or Employee Without Cause. If Employee’s employment is terminated by the Corporation for Cause or by
Employee without cause or by 

  

 3 

 
notice of non-renewal, the Corporation’s obligation to compensate Employee ceases on the effective termination date except as to amounts due at that
time. 
 4.2 By Corporation by Non-Renewal or Without Cause. 
 4.2.1 If the Corporation terminates Employee’s employment by notice of non-renewal or without Cause, then Employee shall be entitled to
receive: (i) amounts due on the effective termination date; and (ii) an amount equal to Employee’s then current monthly salary for twelve (12) months, less applicable withholdings and payable in accordance with the
Corporation’s regular payroll periods or, at the Corporation’s option, a lump sum. 
 4.2.2 However, if the Corporation
terminates Employee’s employment without Cause during the first two (2) years of employment under this Agreement, then Employee shall be entitled to receive: (i) amounts due on the effective termination date; (ii) an amount equal
to the greater of Employee’s then current monthly salary for the then remaining months in the initial term of this Agreement or for twelve (12) months, less applicable withholdings and payable in accordance with the Corporation’s
regular payroll periods or, at the Corporation’s option, a lump sum; and (iii) the guaranteed minimum bonus, as set forth in Section 2.2.1 above, for the fiscal year in which said termination occurs. 
 4.2.3 During the twelve (12) month period following termination, if Employee accepts employment or a consultancy with another entity or
becomes self-employed, then he must notify the Corporation before such employment or consultancy begins and the salary continuation payments shall be reduced by the amount of compensation to be paid to him in connection with such employment,
consultancy or self-employment. If Employee does not notify the Corporation in accordance with this provision, then its obligation to make payments or further payments pursuant to this Section shall cease. 
 4.3 Death or Disability. If Employee’s employment is terminated because of Employee’s death, then the Corporation shall pay to
the estate of Employee the then-current monthly salary (less applicable withholdings) which would otherwise be payable to Employee for six (6) months from the date of Employee’s death. If Employee’s employment is terminated because of
Disability, then the Corporation shall continue to pay Employee his then-current monthly salary (less applicable withholdings) until the earlier of: (i) six (6) months from the date of termination; or, (ii) the date on which Employee
begins receiving long term disability insurance benefits in accordance with the Corporation’s long term disability plan. 
 4.4
Severance Pursuant to Agreement. The Corporation’s obligation to provide the payments under Section 4.2 and 4.3 (except in the event of termination because of Employee’s death) is conditioned upon Employee’s execution
of an enforceable release of all claims and his compliance with Section 5 hereof (specifically including the return of all Corporation property). The required release shall contain a non-disparagement clause. If Employee chooses not to execute
such a release or fails to comply with Section 5 of this Agreement, then the Corporation’s obligation to compensate him ceases on the effective termination date except as to amounts due at that time. 
 Employee is not entitled to receive any compensation or benefits upon his termination except as: (i) set forth in this Agreement;
(ii) otherwise required by law; or (iii) otherwise required by any employee benefit plan in which he participates; provided, however, 

  

 4 

 
that the terms and conditions afforded Employee under this Agreement are in lieu of any severance benefits to which he otherwise might be entitled pursuant
to a severance plan, policy or practice. Nothing in this Agreement, however, is intended to waive or supplant any death, disability, retirement, 401(k) or pension benefits to which Employee may be entitled under employee benefit plans in which
Employee participates. 
 5. COMPETITIVE BUSINESS ACTIVITIES, TRADE SECRETS, CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION AND CORPORATION PROPERTY.
Employee acknowledges that by virtue of Employee’s employment and position with the Corporation, Employee (i) has or will have access to trade secrets and Confidential Information (as defined in Section 5.2.2) of the Corporation
including valuable information about its business operations and entities with whom it does business in various locations, and (ii) has developed or will develop relationships with parties with whom it does business in various locations.
Employee also acknowledges that the trade secrets, Confidential Information and Competitive Business Activities provisions set forth in this Agreement are reasonably necessary to protect the Corporation’s legitimate business interests, are
reasonable as to the time, territory and scope of activities which are restricted, do not interfere with public policy or public interest and are described with sufficient accuracy and definiteness to enable him to understand the scope of the
restrictions imposed on him. 
 5.1 Competitive Business Activities. Without the Company’s prior written approval, during
Employee’s employment and extending through any period in which Employee is receiving severance from the Company, and in any event for twelve (12) months following a termination by the Corporation for Cause or by Employee without cause or
by notice of non-renewal: 
 5.1.1 Employee shall not, either individually or on behalf of another, directly or indirectly, as
employer, employee, owner, partner, stockholder, independent contractor, agent, or otherwise enter into or in any manner participate in the convenience store business in North Carolina or Florida. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee’s
ownership, directly or indirectly, of not more than one percent of the issued and outstanding stock of a corporation the shares of which are regularly traded on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter market shall not violate
Section 5.1.1. 
 5.1.2 Employee will not directly or indirectly, request or induce any other employee of the Corporation to:
(i) terminate employment with the Corporation, or (ii) accept employment with another business entity, or (iii) become engaged in the convenience store business in competition with the Corporation. 
 5.2 Trade Secrets; Confidential Information. 
 5.2.1 Employee hereby covenants and agrees not to use or disclose any Confidential Information (as hereinafter defined) or trade secrets except to authorized representatives of the Corporation or except as
required by any governmental or judicial authority; provided, however, that the foregoing restrictions shall not apply to items that, through no fault of Employee’s, have entered the public domain. 
 5.2.2 Confidential Information. For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means any data or information with
respect to the business conducted by the Corporation, other than trade secrets, that is material to the Corporation and 

  

 5 

 
not generally known by the public. To the extent consistent with the foregoing definition, Confidential Information includes without limitation:
(A) reports, pricing, sales manuals and training manuals, selling and pricing procedures, and financing methods of the Corporation, together with any techniques utilized by the Corporation in designing, developing, manufacturing, testing or
marketing its products or in performing services for clients, customers and accounts of the Corporation; and (B) the business plans, financial statements, reports and projections of the Corporation, and the Corporation’s prospective
strategic or expansion plans. 
 5.2.3 Corporation Property. Employee acknowledges that all trade secrets and Confidential
Information are and shall remain the sole, exclusive and valuable property of the Corporation and that Employee has and shall acquire no right, title or interest therein. Any and all printed, typed, written and other material which Employee may have
or obtain with respect to trade secrets or Confidential Information (including without limitation all copyrights therein) shall be and remain the exclusive property of the Corporation, and any and all such material (including any copies) and all
other Corporation property shall, upon request of the Corporation, be promptly delivered by Employee to the Corporation. 
 5.3 Other
Agreements. Nothing in this Agreement shall terminate, revoke or diminish Employee’s obligations or the Corporation’s rights and remedies under law or any agreements relating to trade secrets, confidential information, or
non-competition which Employee has executed in the past or may execute in the future or contemporaneously with this Agreement. 
 6.
Change in Control. 
 6.1 Definition of Change in Control. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change in
Control” shall mean: 
 (A) any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), other than: (i) the Corporation; (ii) a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Corporation; (iii) a corporation owned, directly or

outstanding securities; or 
 (B) the consummation of a merger, share exchange, consolidation or reorganization involving the
Corporation and any other corporation or other entity as a result of which less than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the Corporation or of the surviving or resulting corporation or entity after such transaction is held in
the aggregate by the holders of the combined voting power of the outstanding securities of the Corporation immediately prior to such transaction; or 
 (C) the stockholders of the Corporation approve a plan of complete liquidation of the Corporation or an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Corporation of all or substantially all of the

 6 

 6.2 Termination Following a Change in Control. After the occurrence of a Change in Control,
Employee shall be entitled to receive payments and benefits pursuant to this Agreement if Employee’s employment is terminated within eighteen (18) months following the Change in Control either by the Corporation by notice of non-renewal,
without Cause, or with Cause as defined in Section 3.3(i) (failure to perform) hereof, or by Employee for Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall exist for Employee to terminate his employment if Employee
resigns within six (6) months of any of the following occurrences: 
 (A) the assignment to Employee of any duties inconsistent
(except in the nature of a promotion) with the position in the Corporation that he held immediately prior to the Change in Control or a substantial adverse alteration in the nature or status of his position or responsibilities or the conditions of
his employment from those in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control; 
 (B) a reduction by the Corporation in
Employee’s annual base salary; 
 (C) the Corporation’s requiring Employee to be based more than fifty (50) miles from
the Corporation’s offices at which he was principally employed immediately prior to the date of the Change in Control; 
 (D)
the failure by the Corporation to pay to Employee any portion of his current compensation or compensation under any deferred compensation program of the Corporation within seven (7) days of the date such compensation is due; 
 (E) the failure by the Corporation to continue in effect any compensation, welfare or benefit plan in which Employee is participating at the time
of a Change in Control without substituting plans providing Employee with substantially similar or greater benefits, or the taking of any action by the Corporation which would adversely affect Employee’s participation in or materially reduce
Employee’s benefits under any such plans or deprive Employee of any material fringe benefit enjoyed by Employee at the time of the Change in Control; 
 (F) the failure of the Corporation to obtain a satisfactory agreement from any successor to assume and agree to perform this Agreement. 
 6.3 Severance Pay and Benefits. If Employee’s employment with the Corporation terminates under circumstances as described in
Section 6.2 above, Employee shall be entitled to receive all of the following: 
 (A) all accrued compensation through the
termination date; 
 (B) a severance payment equal to Employee’s then current monthly salary for twenty-four (24) months
(less applicable withholdings), payable in accordance with the Corporation’s regular payroll periods or, at the Corporation’s option, a lump sum. During the twenty-four (24) month period following termination, if Employee accepts
employment or a consultancy with another entity or becomes self-employed, then he must notify the Corporation before such employment or consultancy begins and the payments made pursuant to this Section 6.3(B) shall be reduced by the amount
of compensation to be paid to him in connection with such employment, consultancy or self-employment. If Employee does not notify the Corporation in 

  

 7 

 
accordance with this provision, then its obligation to make payments or further payments pursuant to this Section 6.3(B) shall cease; 

(C) unless the Employee obtains comparable medical insurance coverage from a subsequent employer, then, for the twenty-four (24) months
following the termination of Employee’s employment, he may continue to participate, to the extent permitted by the plan, in the medical insurance plan in which he participated on the effective termination of employment date. The Corporation
will pay or, at the Corporation’s option, reimburse the Employee for the premiums actually paid, to continue coverage under the medical insurance plan during that period. In the event that the Employee is ineligible to participate in such
medical insurance plan following termination of employment, the Corporation shall arrange to provide the Employee with substantially similar medical insurance benefits, at no greater cost to the Employee than the cost he paid for such benefits
immediately prior to termination. 
 (D) if the termination occurs during the first two (2) years of employment under this
Agreement, then Employee shall also be entitled to receive the guaranteed minimum bonus, as set forth in Section 2.2.1 above, for the fiscal year in which the termination occurs. 
 7. WAIVER OF BREACH. The Corporation’s or Employee’s waiver of any breach of a provision of this Agreement shall not waive any
subsequent breach by the other party. 
 8. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, this Agreement:
(i) supersedes all other understandings and agreements, oral or written, between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement; and (ii) constitutes the sole agreement between the parties with respect to this subject
matter. Each party acknowledges that: (i) no representations, inducements, promises or agreements, oral or written, have been made by any party or by anyone acting on behalf of any party, which are not embodied in this Agreement; and
(ii) no agreement, statement or promise not contained in this Agreement shall be valid. No change or modification of this Agreement shall be valid or binding upon the parties unless such change or modification is in writing and is signed by the
parties. 
 9. SEVERABILITY. If a court of competent jurisdiction holds that any provision or sub-part thereof contained in
this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision in this Agreement. Additionally, if any of the provisions, clauses or phrases in the Competitive Business
Activities, Trade Secrets, Confidential Information and Corporation Property provisions set forth in this Agreement are held unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the parties desire that such provisions, clauses or phrases be
“blue-penciled” or rewritten by the court to the extent necessary to render them enforceable. 
 10. PARTIES BOUND.
The terms, provisions, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement shall apply to, be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Corporation’s successors and assigns. The Corporation, at its discretion, may assign this Agreement.
Employee may not assign this Agreement. 
 11. REMEDIES. Employee acknowledges that his breach of this Agreement would cause
the Corporation irreparable harm for which damages would be difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain and legal remedies would be inadequate. Therefore, in addition to any legal or other 

  

 8 

 
relief to which the Corporation may be entitled by virtue of the Employee’s breach or threatened breach of this Agreement, the Corporation may seek
equitable relief, including but not limited to preliminary and injunctive relief, and such other available remedies. 
 12.
GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement and the employment relationship created by it shall be governed by North Carolina law without giving effect to North Carolina choice of law provisions. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have entered into this Agreement on the day and year written below.

 Exhibit 10.1 
 SECOND AMENDMENT TO 
 SHARE SURRENDER AGREEMENT 
 This Second Amendment to the Share Surrender Agreement (the “Second Amendment”) is made and entered into as of June 11, 2007 by and
between The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (“PNC”), BlackRock, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“BlackRock”) and PNC Bancorp, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Bancorp”) (as successor to PNC
Asset Management, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“PAM”) under an Assignment and Assumption Agreement entered into as of January 14, 2005 (the “Assignment and Assumption Agreement”)). Bancorp is an indirect wholly owned
subsidiary of PNC. Capitalized terms used in this Second Amendment and not defined have the meanings set forth in the Amended Share Surrender Agreement (as defined below). 
 RECITALS 
 BlackRock, PAM and PNC entered into the Share Surrender Agreement as of October 10,
2002 (the “Share Surrender Agreement”), as amended by the First Amendment to the Share Surrender Agreement as of February 15, 2006, between BlackRock, Bancorp and PNC (the “First Amendment” and, collectively with the Share
Surrender Agreement, the “Amended Share Surrender Agreement”), under which PAM agreed to surrender shares of the Common Stock of BlackRock (“BlackRock Stock”) held by it to Award Holders under the BlackRock, Inc. 2002 Long-Term
Retention and Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and to make available for use in future long-term retention and incentive programs approved by BlackRock to retain BlackRock employees. Bancorp, which now holds the shares of BlackRock Stock
formerly held by PAM, has, pursuant to the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, assumed and agreed to be liable for all responsibilities, duties, liabilities and obligations of PAM under the Amended Share Surrender Agreement. 
 Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Plan and the Amended Share Surrender Agreement, Bancorp surrendered an aggregate of 1,034,062 shares of
BlackRock Stock to Award Holders and to BlackRock in accordance with the Plan and Amended Share Surrender Agreement. The parties acknowledge that the Plan and the Amended Share Surrender Agreement contemplate additional deliveries of BlackRock Stock
in each of 2008, 2009 and 2010 in respect of Awards under the Plan outstanding on the date hereof (“Additional First Award Period Deliveries”). 
 The parties acknowledge that BlackRock’s Management Development and Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) approved $260,160,150 of awards on January 16, 2007 under a Future Incentive Plan (the
“Initial Second Period Awards”) and that such awards were converted into 1,542,421 restricted stock units and granted on January 31, 2007 based on a value of $168.67 per share of BlackRock Stock, which was equal to the five-day
average closing price of BlackRock Stock from January 25, 2007 to January 31, 2007. 

 BlackRock, Bancorp and PNC now desire to clarify (i) the maximum value of all awards that will be
funded by Bancorp pursuant to the Amended Share Surrender Agreement for Future Incentive Plans for awards granted during the period from January 16, 2007 through and including September 30, 2011 (such period being, the “Second Award
Period” and such maximum value being, the “Second Period Funding Cap”), and (ii) the impact on the remaining funding availability under the Second Period Funding Cap of awards that may be forfeited by holders during the Second
Award Period. 
 Accordingly, the parties to this Second Amendment agree, notwithstanding anything in the Amended Share Surrender Agreement
to the contrary, as follows: 
 1. Agreement as to Second Period Funding Cap. The Second Period Funding Cap shall be $271,248,000,
subject to all terms and conditions of each award, including the achievement of all performance criteria and other vesting requirements, as approved by the Committee. The value of the Initial Second Period Awards, in the absence of forfeitures
addressed in Section 3, shall reduce the remaining funding availability under the Second Period Funding Cap in the amount set forth in the recitals hereof. The parties agree that the Second Period Funding Cap shall not be recalculated or
adjusted during the Second Award Period. BlackRock agrees that neither PNC nor Bancorp shall have any funding responsibility with respect to any additional awards made under the Plan following the date hereof or for any additional awards made under
a Future Incentive Plan during the Second Award Period following the satisfaction of the performance criteria set forth in the Initial Second Period Awards. 
 2. Calculation of Value of Future Awards During the Second Award Period. The value of additional awards approved by the Committee and granted by BlackRock under Future Incentive Plans during the Second Award
Period shall reduce the remaining funding availability under the Second Period Funding Cap and shall be based on the dollar value of the award, which will be converted into a restricted stock unit value, as follows: 
 (a) for grants of awards to new hires, the average of the high and low trading price of BlackRock Stock on the employment start date of such employee; and

 (b) for all other awards, the five-day average closing price of BlackRock Stock beginning on the second trading day following the next
earnings release after Committee action approving such award. 
 3. Impact of Forfeitures. The value of any forfeitures during the
Second Award Period by holders of any Awards outstanding on the date hereof under the Plan or of awards under a Future Incentive Plan shall be credited toward the funding availability under the Second Period Funding Cap. The amount used in
calculating such credit shall equal the value of such award as calculated in connection with its initial grant, i.e., $168.67 per restricted stock unit for forfeited Initial Second Period Awards, and the conversion values calculated in accordance
with Section 2 for all other Future Incentive Plan awards during the Second Period, and not the then current fair market value. 

 4. Other Awards; No Other Amendments. Nothing in this Second Amendment or the Amended Share
Surrender Agreement is intended to limit any awards that may be made by BlackRock that are not intended to be funded by Bancorp pursuant to the Amended Share Surrender Agreement. Except as expressly amended by this Second Amendment, the Amended
Share Surrender Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Second Amendment is intended to reduce the total number of Remainder Shares available for the funding of Future
Incentive Plans or to amend, restrict or limit the obligations of PNC and Bancorp to fund Future Incentive Plans with Remainder Shares following the Second Award Period, pursuant to the terms of the Amended Share Surrender Agreement, in a total
amount equal to the 4,000,000 shares agreed to in the Share Surrender Agreement less the number of shares funded by Bancorp (i) prior to the date hereof, (ii) pursuant to the Additional First Award Period Deliveries, and (iii) during
the Second Award Period. 
 5. Counterparts. This Second Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which shall be
considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other party, it being understood that each party need not sign the same counterpart.
