of the PBCL provides, in general, that a corporation shall have the power to indemnify any person
who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed
action or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an
action by or in the right of the corporation), by reason of the fact that the person is or was a
representative of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
representative of another enterprise. Such indemnity may be against expenses (including attorney&#146;s
fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the
person in connection with the action or proceeding, if the person acted in good faith and in a
manner the person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the

a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its
counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed
in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

•
The description of PNC common stock set forth in the registration statement on Form
8-A filed by PNC pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act in September 1987,
including any amendment or report filed with the SEC for the purpose of updating this
description.
2
In addition, the Annual Report on Form 11-K of the National City Savings and Investment Plan
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, filed with the Commission on June 25, 2008 (File No.
001-10074), is incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof.
PNC also incorporates herein by reference any additional documents subsequently filed by PNC
with the SEC pursuant to Sections 13(a),
13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act prior to the filing
of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which

incorporated by reference herein and to be a part of this Registration Statement from the

segment in PNC's consolidated financial statements. PNC's consolidated financial statements
included in its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended June 30, 2008 and September
30, 2008 reflected the reclassification of results of Hilliard Lyons, including the first quarter
2008 gain on the sale of this business, from the Retail Banking business segment to "Other" for the

.

Item 5.
Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
.

Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
.
PNC is incorporated under the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law ("PBCL"). Section 1741
of the PBCL provides, in general, that a corporation shall have the power to indemnify any person
who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed
action or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an
action by or in the right of the corporation), by reason of the fact that the person is or was a
representative of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
representative of another enterprise. Such indemnity may be against expenses (including attorney's
fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the
person in connection with the action or proceeding, if the person acted in good faith and in a
manner the person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the
corporation and if, with respect to any criminal proceeding, the person did not have reasonable
cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
Section 1742 of the PBCL provides, in general, that a corporation shall have the power to
indemnify any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened,
pending or completed action by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its
favor by reason of the fact that the person is or was a representative of the corporation or is or
was serving at the request of the corporation as a representative of another entity. Such indemnity
may be against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person
in connection with the defense or settlement of the action if the person acted in good faith and in
a manner the person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the
corporation, except no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue, or matter as
to which the person has been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent
that the court of common pleas of the judicial district embracing the county in which the
registered office of the corporation is located or the court in which the action was brought shall
determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the
3
circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for the
expenses that the court of common pleas or other court deems proper.
Section 1743 of the PBCL provides, in general, that a corporation must indemnify any
representative of a business corporation who has been successful on the merits or otherwise in
defense of any action or proceeding referred to in Section 1741 or Section 1742 or in defense of
any claim, issue, or matter therein, against expenses (including attorney fees) actually and
reasonably incurred therein.
Section 1747 of the PBCL provides, in general, that a corporation shall have the power to
purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a representative of the
corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a representative of another
entity against any liability asserted against the person in any capacity, or arising out of the
person's status as such, regardless of whether the corporation would have the power to indemnify
him against that liability under the provisions of the PBCL.
PNC's By-Laws generally provide for the mandatory indemnification of directors and officers in
accordance with and to the full extent permitted by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as
in effect at the time of such indemnification and for mandatory advancement of expenses upon
receipt of the required undertaking. PNC's By-Laws also eliminate, to the maximum extent permitted
by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the personal liability of directors for monetary
damages for any action taken, or any failure to take any action as a director, except in any case
where such elimination is not permitted by law.
PNC has purchased directors' and officers' liability insurance covering certain liabilities
that may be incurred by its directors and officers in connection with the performance of their
duties.

(5)
That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of
1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or
Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference
in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that
time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in
the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by
a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its
counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed
in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
