Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Sections 1741 and 1742 of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law, as amended (the &#147;PBCL&#148;), provide that a Pennsylvania corporation may 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, 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, provided that certain standards are met, including that the person acted in good faith and with the reasonable belief that the particular action was in, or not opposed
to, the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person&#146;s conduct was unlawful. In the case of an action brought by or in the right of the corporation,
indemnification of any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to the action 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, against expenses (including attorney&#146;s fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action is permitted if such 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. No indemnification is permitted under this provision, however, in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person has been
adjudged to be liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that it is judicially determined that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnification for the expenses that the court of common pleas or other court deems proper. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Section&nbsp;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&nbsp;1741 or Section&nbsp;1742 or in defense
of any claim, issue, or matter therein, against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) actually and reasonably incurred therein. Under Section&nbsp;1745 of the PBCL, a corporation may pay the expenses of a director or officer incurred in
defending an action or proceeding in advance of the final disposition thereof upon receipt of an undertaking from such person to repay the amounts advanced, if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification from the
corporation. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Section&nbsp;1746 of the PBCL provides that the foregoing provisions shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to
which a person seeking indemnification may be entitled under, among other things, any by-law provision, provided that no indemnification may be made in any case where the act or failure to act giving rise to the claim for indemnification is
determined by a court to have constituted willful misconduct or recklessness. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our By-Laws 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. Our 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 such elimination is not permitted by law. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Section&nbsp;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&#146;s status as such, regardless of whether the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against that liability under the provisions of the PBCL. </P>

Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
PNC is incorporated under the laws of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Sections 1741 and 1742 of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law, as amended (the "PBCL"), provide that a Pennsylvania corporation may 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, 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, provided that certain standards are met, including that the person acted in good faith and with the reasonable belief that the particular action was in, or not opposed
to, the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person's conduct was unlawful. In the case of an action brought by or in the right of the corporation,
indemnification of any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to the action 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, against expenses (including attorney's fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action is permitted if such 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. No indemnification is permitted under this provision, however, in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person has been
adjudged to be liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that it is judicially determined that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnification 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 attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred therein. Under Section 1745 of the PBCL, a corporation may pay the expenses of a director or officer incurred in
defending an action or proceeding in advance of the final disposition thereof upon receipt of an undertaking from such person to repay the amounts advanced, if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification from the
corporation.
Section 1746 of the PBCL provides that the foregoing provisions shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to
which a person seeking indemnification may be entitled under, among other things, any by-law provision, provided that no indemnification may be made in any case where the act or failure to act giving rise to the claim for indemnification is
determined by a court to have constituted willful misconduct or recklessness.
Our By-Laws 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. Our 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 such elimination is not permitted by law.
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 such person against that liability under the provisions of the PBCL.

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.
The foregoing is only
a general summary of certain aspects of Pennsylvania law and PNC's By-Laws relating to indemnification of directors and officers, and does not purport to be complete. It is qualified in its entirety by reference to the detailed provisions of
Sections 1741, 1742, 1743, 1745, 1746 and 1747 of the PBCL and the By-Laws of PNC.

Item 9.
Undertakings.
(a)
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i)
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act");
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a
fundamental change to the information set forth in this Registration Statement; and
(iii)
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;
provided, however
, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) above do not apply if the information required to be
included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by
reference in the Registration Statement.
3
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Act, each such post-effective amendment 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;
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to 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.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act 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 Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the 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.
