-2- B. VESTING REQUIREMENTS B.1 An Award becomes vested only upon satisfaction of both the service-based vesting requirements and the risk performance-based vesting requirements set forth below. SERVICE-BASED VESTING REQUIREMENTS The Award is divided into three approximately equal portions that will satisfy the service-based vesting requirements ratably over three years (each portion, a “Tranche”) on three “Scheduled Vesting Dates”, as follows:  the service-based vesting requirement for the first Tranche will be satisfied on the 1st anniversary of the Grant Date,  the service-based vesting requirement for the second Tranche will be satisfied on the 2nd anniversary of the Grant Date, and  the service-based vesting requirement for the third Tranche will be satisfied on the 3rd anniversary of the Grant Date; in each case, provided you remain continuously employed by PNC through and including the applicable Scheduled Vesting Date (or such earlier date as prescribed by Section B.2 below). RISK PERFORMANCE- BASED VESTING REQUIREMENTS Provided the service-based vesting requirements have been met, each Tranche will vest on the applicable Scheduled Vesting Date upon satisfaction of the risk performance metric applicable to that Tranche, as set forth in Appendix C to this Agreement. B.2 EFFECT OF TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT PRIOR TO SCHEDULED VESTING DATE(S) ON VESTING REQUIREMENTS RETIREMENT Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if your employment with PNC is terminated due to your Retirement, and not for Cause, then the service-based vesting requirements of the Award will be satisfied as of your Termination Date, but the Award will not vest and become payable until the Scheduled Vesting Date(s), subject to satisfaction of the risk EX 10.35

-3- performance-based vesting requirements and your continued compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. DISABILITY Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if your employment with PNC is terminated by PNC due to your Disability, and not for Cause, then the service-based vesting requirements of the Award will be satisfied as of your Termination Date, but the Award will not vest and become payable until the Scheduled Vesting Date(s), subject to satisfaction of the risk performance-based vesting requirements and your continued compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. DEATH Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if your employment with PNC ceases by reason of your death, or if you die after a termination of employment with PNC due to Disability or Retirement or by reason of an Anticipatory Termination, but prior to a Change of Control or any Scheduled Vesting Date(s), then the service-based requirements of the Award will be satisfied as of your date of death, and the risk performance-based vesting requirements will be satisfied as further described in Appendix C. ANTICIPATORY TERMINATION Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if your termination of employment with PNC is an Anticipatory Termination, then the service-based vesting requirements of the Award will be satisfied as of the Termination Date, but the Award will not vest and become payable until the Scheduled Vesting Date(s), subject to satisfaction of the risk performance-based vesting requirements and your continued compliance with the terms of this Agreement. TERMINATION FOLLOWING A CHANGE OF CONTROL Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if you have been continuously employed by PNC, including any successor entity, through the date of a Change of Control, and your employment with PNC is terminated following such Change of Control but prior to a Scheduled Vesting Date(s), either (a) by PNC other than for Misconduct or (b) by you for Good Reason (a EX 10.35

-4- “Qualifying Termination”), then the service-based requirements of the Award will be satisfied as of your Termination Date, and the risk performance- based vesting requirements will be satisfied with respect to any outstanding Tranches as described in Appendix C. For the avoidance of doubt, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Award will not become vested until the service-based vesting requirements are satisfied, either on the Scheduled Vesting Dates as set forth in Section B.1. or as a result of your Retirement, your termination of employment by reason of death, Disability or an Anticipatory Termination or the occurrence of a Qualifying Termination. C. FORFEITURE C.1 FORFEITURE UPON FAILURE TO MEET VESTING REQUIREMENTS Except as otherwise provided in Section B.2 above, if you cease to be an employee of PNC prior to an applicable Scheduled Vesting Date and the satisfaction of the risk performance-based vesting requirements, you will not have satisfied the vesting requirements and the outstanding portion of the Award will be automatically forfeited and cancelled as of your Termination Date. C.2 FORFEITURE IN CONNECTION WITH DETRIMENTAL CONDUCT At any time prior to a Scheduled Vesting Date, to the extent that PNC (acting through a PNC Designated Person) determines in its sole discretion (a) that you have engaged in Detrimental Conduct and (b) to forfeit and cancel all or a specified portion of the outstanding Award as a result of such determination, then such portion will be forfeited and cancelled effective as of the date of such determination. Upon such determination, neither you nor your successors, heirs, assigns or legal representatives will have any further rights or interest in the Award under this Agreement. EX 10.35

-5- D. DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS D.1 GENERALLY As of the Award Effective Date, you will be entitled to earn accrued cash Dividend Equivalents on the final number of vested RSUs for each Tranche, in an amount equal to the cash dividends that would have been paid (without interest or reinvestment) between the Grant Date and the Scheduled Vesting Date for that Tranche (or such earlier date in the event of your death or a Change of Control), as though you were the record holder of such RSUs, and such RSUs had been issued and outstanding shares on the Grant Date through the Scheduled Vesting Date for that Tranche (or such earlier date in the event of your death or a Change of Control). D.2 ACCRUED DIVIDEND EQUIVALENT PAYMENTS (a) Generally. Accrued Dividend Equivalents will vest and be paid out in cash, less the payment of any applicable withholding taxes pursuant to Section 6 of Appendix A, if and when the applicable Tranche vests and pays out (at which point such Dividend Equivalents will terminate). Dividend Equivalents are subject to the same vesting requirements and payout size adjustments as the Tranche to which they relate. If the RSUs to which such Dividend Equivalents relate are forfeited and cancelled, such related Dividend Equivalents will also be forfeited and cancelled without payment of any consideration by PNC. (b) Payment Upon a Change of Control. Accrual of Dividend Equivalents will cease as of the Change of Control. Upon a Change of Control, Dividend Equivalents accrued (without reinvestment or interest) between the Grant Date and the Change of Control will vest and be paid out in cash, less the payment of any applicable withholding taxes pursuant to Section 6 of Appendix A, if and when the applicable Tranche vests and pays out, as if you were the record holder of the number of Shares equal to the number of vested RSUs underlying such Tranche from the Grant Date through the date of the Change of Control. EX 10.35

E.2 FORM OF PAYMENT; AMOUNT (a) Payment Generally. Except as provided in subsection (b) below, vested RSUs will be settled at the time set forth in this Section E.1 by delivery to you of that number of whole Shares equal to the number of RSUs less the payment of any applicable withholding taxes pursuant to Section 6 of Appendix A. (b) Payment On or After a Change of Control. Upon vesting on or after a Change of Control, vested RSUs will be settled at the time set forth in Section E.1 by payment to you of cash in an amount equal to that number of whole Shares equal to the number of vested RSUs, multiplied by the then current Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of the Change of Control (subject to any applicable adjustment pursuant to Section 2 of Appendix A), less the payment of any applicable withholding taxes pursuant to Section 6 of Appendix A. Related accrued Dividend Equivalent payments will be paid to you in cash as described in Section D.2(b). No interest will be paid with respect to any such payments made pursuant to this Section E. F. RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS Upon your acceptance of this Award, you shall become subject to the restrictive covenant provisions set forth in Section 1 of Appendix A. G.

-i- THE PNC FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP, INC. 2016 INCENTIVE AWARD PLAN APPENDIX B DEFINITIONS Certain Definitions. Except as otherwise provided, the following definitions apply for purposes of this Agreement. “Anticipatory Termination” means a termination of employment where PNC terminates your employment with PNC (other than for Misconduct or Disability) prior to the date on which a Change of Control occurs, and you reasonably demonstrated that such termination of employment (i) was at the request of a third party that has taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change of Control or (ii) otherwise arose in connection with or in anticipation of a Change of Control. “Award Effective Date” has the meaning set forth in Section A of this Agreement. “Change of Control” means: (a) Any Person becomes the beneficial owner (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 20% or more of either (x) the then- outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “Outstanding PNC Common Stock”) or (y) the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the “Outstanding PNC Voting Securities”). The following acquisitions will not constitute a Change of Control for purposes of this definition: (1) any acquisition directly from the Corporation, (2) any acquisition by the Corporation, (3) any acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Corporation or any company controlled by, controlling or under common control with the Corporation (an “Affiliated Company”), (4) any acquisition pursuant to an Excluded Combination (as defined below) or (5) an acquisition of beneficial ownership representing between 20% and 40%, inclusive, of the Outstanding PNC Voting Securities or Outstanding PNC Common Stock if the Incumbent Board (as defined below) as of immediately prior to any such acquisition approves such acquisition either prior to or immediately after its occurrence; (b) Individuals who, as of the date hereof, constitute the Board (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board (excluding any Board seat that is vacant or otherwise unoccupied). For purposes of this definition, any individual becoming a director subsequent to the date hereof whose election, or nomination for election by the shareholders of the Corporation, was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board will be considered as though such individual was a member of the Incumbent Board, but EX 10.35

-ii- excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board; (c) Consummation of a reorganization, merger, statutory share exchange or consolidation or similar transaction involving the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, or the acquisition of assets or stock of another entity by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries (each, a “Business Combination”). A transaction otherwise meeting the definition of Business Combination will not be treated as a Change of Control if following completion of the transaction all or substantially all of the beneficial owners of the Outstanding PNC Common Stock and the Outstanding PNC Voting Securities immediately prior to such Business Combination beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 60% of the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock (or, for a non-corporate entity, equivalent securities) and the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (or, for a non-corporate entity, equivalent governing body), as the case may be, of the entity resulting from such Business Combination (including, without limitation, an entity that, as a result of such transaction, owns the Corporation or all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) in substantially the same proportions as their ownership immediately prior to such Business Combination of the Outstanding PNC Common Stock and the Outstanding PNC Voting Securities, as the case may be (such a Business Combination, an “Excluded Combination”); or (d) Approval by the shareholders of the Corporation of a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Corporation. “Competitive Activity” means any participation in, employment by, ownership of any equity interest exceeding one percent in, or promotion or organization of, any Person other than PNC (1) engaged in business activities similar to some or all of the business activities of PNC during your employment or (2) engaged in business activities that you know PNC intends to enter within the next 12 months (or, if after your Termination Date, within the first 12 months after your Termination Date), in either case whether you are acting as agent, consultant, independent contractor, employee, officer, director, investor, partner, shareholder, proprietor or in any other individual or representative capacity therein. For purposes of Competitive Activity as defined herein (and as such similar term is defined in any equity-based award agreement held by you), the term “subsidiary” will not include any company in which PNC holds an interest pursuant to its merchant banking authority. “Detrimental Conduct” means: (a) You have engaged in, without the prior written consent of PNC (with consent to be given or withheld at PNC’s sole discretion), in any Competitive Activity in EX 10.35

-iii- the Restricted Territory at any time during the period of your employment with PNC and the 12-month period following your Termination Date; (b) any act of fraud, misappropriation, or embezzlement by you against PNC or one of its subsidiaries or any client or customer of PNC or one of its subsidiaries; or (c) you are convicted (including a plea of guilty or of nolo contendere) of, or you enter into a pre-trial disposition with respect to, the commission of a felony that relates to or arises out of your employment or other service relationship with PNC. You will be deemed to have engaged in Detrimental Conduct for purposes of this Agreement only if and when the Committee or other PNC Designated Person determines that you have engaged in conduct described in clause (a) or clause (b) above or that an event described in clause (c) above has occurred with respect to you. Detrimental Conduct will not apply to conduct by or activities of successors to the Award by will or the laws of descent and distribution in the event of your death. No determination that you have engaged in Detrimental Conduct may be made (x) on or after your Termination Date if your termination of employment was an Anticipatory Termination or (y) 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. “Good Reason” means the definition of Good Reason contained in the Change of Control Employment Agreement between you and PNC or any substitute employment agreement entered into between you and PNC then in effect or, if none, the occurrence of any of the following events without your consent: (a) the assignment of any duties to you inconsistent in any material respect with your position (including status, offices, titles and reporting requirements), or any other material diminution in such position, authority, duties or responsibilities; (b) any material reduction in your rate of base salary or the amount of your annual bonus opportunity (or, if less, the bonus opportunity established for PNC’s similarly situated employees for any year), or a material reduction in the level of any other employee benefits for which you are eligible receive below those offered to PNC’s similarly situated employees; (c) PNC’s requiring you to be based at any office or location outside of a fifty (50)-mile radius from the office where you were employed on the Grant Date; (d) any action or inaction that constitutes a material breach by PNC of any agreement entered into between you and PNC; or (e) the failure by PNC to require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business EX 10.35

-iv- and/or assets of PNC to assume expressly and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that PNC would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the events described above shall constitute Good Reason unless and until (i) you first notify PNC in writing describing in reasonable detail the condition which constitutes Good Reason within 90 days of its initial occurrence, (ii) PNC fails to cure such condition within 30 days after receipt of such written notice, and (iii) you terminate employment within two years of its initial occurrence. Your mental or physical incapacity following the occurrence of an event described above in clauses (a) through (e) shall not affect your ability to terminate employment for Good Reason, and your death following delivery of a notice of termination for Good Reason shall not affect your estate’s entitlement to severance payments benefits provided hereunder upon a termination of employment for Good Reason. “Misconduct” means, as it relates to an Anticipatory Termination or following a Change of Control, (a) your willful and continued failure to substantially perform your duties with PNC (other than any such failure resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental illness), after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to you by the Board or the CEO that specifically identifies the manner in which the Board or the CEO believes that you have not substantially performed your duties; or (b) your willful engagement in illegal conduct or gross misconduct that is materially and demonstrably injurious to PNC or any of its subsidiaries. For purposes of clauses (a) and (b), no act or failure to act, on your part, shall be considered willful unless it is done, or omitted to be done, by you in bad faith and without reasonable belief that your action or omission was in the best interests of PNC. Any act, or failure to act, based upon the instructions or prior approval of the Board, the CEO or your superior or based upon the advice of counsel for PNC, will be conclusively presumed to be done, or omitted to be done, by you in good faith and in the best interests of PNC. Your cessation of employment will be deemed to be a termination of your employment with PNC for Misconduct only if and when there shall have been delivered to you, as part of the notice of your 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 faith opinion of the Board, you are guilty of conduct described in clause (a) or clause (b) above and, in either case, specifying the particulars thereof in detail.

-1- THE PNC FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP, INC. 2016 INCENTIVE AWARD PLAN APPENDIX C RISK PERFORMANCE-BASED VESTING CONDITIONS The following table sets forth the risk performance-based vesting conditions of the Award: 1. Generally The Award is divided into three Tranches, with the first Tranche relating to the 2022 performance year, the second Tranche relating to the 2023 performance year, and the third tranche relating to the 2024 performance year (each such year, a “Performance Year”). Each Tranche must satisfy a risk-related performance metric based on whether PNC has met or exceeded the common equity Tier 1 capital spot ratio limit as then in effect and applicable to The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (“CET1 Ratio”) (which may be on a pro forma fully phased-in basis, if applicable) as set forth in PNC’s Enterprise Capital Management Policy (or any successor policy) and monitored at least quarterly. “PNC” for purposes of this Appendix C as it refers to risk performance-based vesting conditions means the Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries for financial reporting purposes. 2. Applying the Risk Performance Metric (a) CET1 Ratio Generally. Each Tranche is subject to a risk performance factor based on whether PNC has met or exceeded the CET1 Ratio as of the last day of each Performance Year. The current CET1 Ratio is 7.0%. (b) Determination of Annual CET1 Ratio. As soon as practicable following the end of each Performance Year, PNC will present information to the Committee relating to (i) the CET1 Ratio compared to (ii) the actual CET1 Ratio achieved by PNC with respect to that Performance Year, based on PNC’s publicly reported financial results for the period ending on the applicable end date. Except as EX 10.35

-2- otherwise provided in paragraph 5 in the event of your death or a Change of Control, this will generally be the public release of earnings results for PNC’s fourth quarter that occurs after the year-end measurement date, so that the Committee will be able to make its determination in late January or early February following a Performance Year.  If PNC meets or exceeds the CET1 Ratio for a Performance Year, the risk performance metric is satisfied.  If PNC does not meet the CET1 Ratio for a Performance Year, the applicable Tranche is eligible for forfeiture as determined by the Committee prior to settlement of the Tranche. 3. Risk Performance Review Adjustment In addition, and independent from the CET1 Ratio performance metric described in paragraph 2 above, with respect to each Tranche and prior to the settlement of that Tranche, the Committee has the discretion to conduct a risk performance review relating to a risk-related action of potentially material consequence to PNC. If the Committee exercises its discretion to conduct a risk performance review, the Committee will review and determine if a downward adjustment for risk performance is appropriate for the applicable Tranche. Any determination to conduct a risk performance review will be made shortly after the close of the Performance Year, but no later than the 45th day following the close of the Performance Year, and any required review will be conducted no later than two and a half-months after the close of the Performance Year. 4. Determination of Final Number of RSUs Following the Performance Year, the Committee determines whether to approve the number of RSUs subject to the applicable Tranche, a lower number or zero based on application of the risk performance metric (described in paragraph 2) or any risk-related adjustment resulting from a risk performance review (described in paragraph 3), rounded down to the nearest whole Unit. In no event can the size of the Tranche be greater than 100.00% of the target number of RSUs subject to that Tranche. EX 10.35

-3- 5. Determination of Risk Performance Metric Upon Death or a Change of Control Death Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if your employment with PNC ceases by reason of your death, or if you die after a termination of employment with PNC due to Disability or Retirement or by reason of an Anticipatory Termination, in any case, prior to a Change of Control or the last Scheduled Vesting Date, then all risk performance-based conditions will be met with respect to the outstanding portion of your Award, unless the date of death occurs after a calendar year but prior to performance-adjustment by the Committee (including a Committee determination made immediately preceding the date of the Change of Control), in which case such Tranche will vest based on actual performance as determined by the Committee. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of your death following a Change of Control, the risk performance metric for any then-outstanding Tranche will be determined as provided in the “Change of Control” paragraph below. Change of Control Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement and subject to your satisfaction of the service- based vesting requirements, any outstanding Tranches for which no performance factors have been determined at the time of a Change of Control will be risk performance- adjusted, as follows:  If a Change of Control occurs after a completed Performance Year, but prior to the Scheduled Vesting Date for that Tranche, the actual CET1 Ratio for that Performance Year will continue to apply to that Tranche, and  For any Performance Year not completed prior to a Change of Control, if the CET1 Ratio was not met as of the quarter-end date immediately preceding the Change of Control (or if the Change of Control falls on a quarter-end date, and such information is available and applicable for such date, the date of the Change of Control), then all remaining Tranches will be forfeited and expire as of the Change of Control. For the avoidance of doubt: EX 10.35

-4-  If the CET1 Ratio was not met as of the applicable quarter-end performance measurement date, the Award will be forfeited by you as of the Change of Control.  Tranches where the CET1 Ratio was met and that remain outstanding will be paid out, without further Dividend Equivalents or any interest, on the Scheduled Vesting Dates (or earlier, in the event of your death) upon your satisfaction of the service- based vesting requirements. 6. Committee Determination The Committee may make prospective adjustments to the Award. All determinations made by the Committee or otherwise by PNC hereunder shall be made in its sole discretion and shall be final, binding and conclusive for all purposes on all parties. EX 10.35
