SECTION 405 Governing Law. This Fifth Supplemental Indenture shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the jurisdiction which govern the Indenture and its construction. These excerpts taken from the PNC 10-K filed Mar 2, 2009. MISCELLANEOUS
Neither the Board nor the Committee will be liable to any person for any action taken or admitted in connection with the administration, interpretation, construction or variance of the Plan.
Nothing herein will be construed as an offer or commitment by the Corporation or any Affiliate to continue any Participants employment with it for any period of time.
The Corporation or an Affiliate shall have the right to deduct from payment of any amount under the Plan any taxes required by law to be withheld from a Participant or Beneficiary with respect to such payment.
Whenever possible, each provision of this Plan will be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of the Plan is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, then (a) such provision will be deemed to be amended to, and to have contained from the outset such language as is necessary to, accomplish the objectives of the provision as originally written to the fullest extent permitted by law, and (b) other provisions of this Plan will remain in full force and effect.
No rule of strict construction shall be applied against the Corporation, any Affiliate, the Committee, the Board, the Plan Manager or any other person regarding the interpretation of any terms of this Plan or any rule or procedure established by the Committee. Where the context allows, words in the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter genders, the plural shall include the singular and the singular shall include the plural. The captions of sections and paragraphs of this Plan are for convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any of its provisions.
Whenever, in the Committees or the Plan Managers opinion, any person entitled to receive any payment is under a legal disability, a minor, or incapacitated in any way, so as to be unable to manage his or her financial affairs, the Corporation or an Affiliate, at its discretion, may make such payment for the benefit of such person to his or her legal representative, or to a relative or friend of such person for his or her benefit, or it may apply the payment for the benefit of such person in any manner it deems advisable. When the Corporation or an Affiliate makes any payment pursuant to this subsection, it shall be considered as a complete discharge of its liability for the making of such payments under the Plan.
This writing constitutes the final and complete embodiment of the understandings of the parties hereto and all prior understandings and communications of the parties oral or written concerning this Plan are hereby renounced, revoked and superseded.
All notices to the Corporation hereunder shall be delivered to the attention of the Committee or to the Plan Manager acting on its behalf. Any notice or filing required or permitted to be given to the Committee or the Corporation under this Plan shall be
sufficient if in writing and hand delivered, or sent by registered or certified mail, to the Committee or to the Plan Manager, at the principal office of the Corporation. Such notice shall be deemed given as of the date of delivery or, if delivery is made by mail, as of the date shown on the postmark or the receipt for registration or certification.
The Plan is intended to comply with applicable law. Without limiting the foregoing, the Plan is intended to comply with the applicable requirements of Internal Revenue Code Section 409A, and will be administered in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 409A to the extent that Internal Revenue Code Section 409A applies to the Plan. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, distributions from the Plan may only be made in a manner, and upon an event, permitted by Internal Revenue Code Section 409A. If any payment or benefit cannot be provided or made at the time specified herein without incurring penalties under Internal Revenue Code Section 409A, then such benefit or payment will be provided in full at the earliest time thereafter when such penalties will not be imposed. To the extent that any provision of the Plan would cause a conflict with the applicable requirements of Internal Revenue Code Section 409A, or would cause the administration of the Plan to fail to satisfy the applicable requirements of Internal Revenue Code Section 409A, such provision shall be deemed null and void to the extent permitted by applicable law. * * * * Executed and adopted by the Chief Human Resources Officer of The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. this 31st day of December, 2008.
