Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the

any purpose.

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the
Company (herein called the

"Securities"), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an
Indenture, dated as of December 1, 1991, among the Company, PNC Financial Corp
(now known as PNC Bank Corp.) ("Guarantor") and Manufacturers Hanover Trust
Company, as Trustee (herein called the "Trustee," which term includes any
successor trustee under the Indenture) as amended by a Supplemental Indenture
dated as of February 15, 1993 by and among the Company, PNC Bank Corp.
(formerly known as PNC Financial Corp) ("Guarantor") and Chemical Bank
(successor by merger to Manufacturers Hanover Trust Company and now known as

thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights,
limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the
Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the
Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is

with the effect provided in the Indenture.

The indebtedness of the Company evidenced by the Securities of this
series, including the principal thereof and interest thereon, is, to the extent

of payment to its obligations to holders of Senior Company Indebtedness (as
defined in the Indenture) and shall rank pari passu in right of payment with
each other and with Existing Company Subordinated Indebtedness (as defined in
said Indenture), subject to the obligations of the holders of the Securities to

obligated to pay over any Excess Proceeds to creditors in respect of Other

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Company and the Guarantor and the rights of the holders of the Securities of
any series under the Indenture at any time by the Company, the Guarantor and
the Trustee with the consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount
of the outstanding Securities of all series (voting as one class) to be
affected by such amendment or modification. The Indenture also contains
provisions permitting the holders of specified percentages in principal amount
of the Outstanding Securities of any series, on behalf of the holders of all
Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company or the Guarantor
with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the
Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the holder of
this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all
future holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the
registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof,
whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security
or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which
is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this
Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein
prescribed.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth and to the limitations set forth in the legend on the first page of
this Security, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security
Register, upon due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer at
the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of
New York, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of





- 5 -

transfer in form satisfactory to the Company duly executed by, the registered
holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or
more new Securities of this series, of authorized denominations and for the
same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.

The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form
without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate
principal amount of Securities of this series of a different authorized
denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer,
the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and any agent of the Company, the
Guarantor or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security
be overdue, and neither the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee nor any such
agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

This Security is a global security. Accordingly, unless and until it is
exchanged in whole or in part for individual certificates evidencing the
Securities represented hereby, this Security may not be transferred except as a
whole by The Depository Trust Company (the "Depositary") to a nominee of such
Depositary or by a nominee of such Depositary or by the Depositary or any
nominee to a successor Depositary or any nominee of such successor. Ownership
of beneficial interests in this Security will be shown on, and the transfer of
that ownership will be effected only through, records maintained by the
applicable Depositary or its nominee (with respect to interest of persons that
have accounts with the Depositary ("Participants") and the records of
Participants (with respect to interests of persons other than Participants)).
The laws of some states require that certain purchasers of securities take
physical





- 6 -

delivery of such securities in definitive form. Such limits and such laws may
impair the ability to transfer beneficial interests in this Security. Except as
provided below, owners of beneficial interests in this Security will not be
entitled to have any individual certificates and will not be considered the
owners or Holders thereof under the Indenture.

Neither the Company, the Trustee, any Issuing and Paying Agent or any
Security Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of
the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership
interests in this Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any
records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

If the Depositary is at any time unwilling, unable or ineligible to
continue as Depositary and a successor Depositary is not appointed by the
Company within 90 days, the Company will issue individual certificates
evidencing the Securities represented hereby in definitive form in exchange for
this Security. In addition, the Company may at any time and in its sole
discretion determine not to have any Securities represented by one or more
global securities and, in such event, will issue individual certificates
evidencing Securities in definitive form in exchange for this Security. In any
such instance, an owner of a beneficial interest in a Security will be entitled
to physical delivery in certificated form of Securities equal in principal
amount to such beneficial interest and to have such Securities registered in
its name. Securities so issued in certificated form will be issued in
denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof and will be issued in
registered form only, without coupons.

The Indenture contains provisions setting forth certain conditions to
the institution of proceedings by the holders of Securities with respect to the
Indenture or for any remedy under the Indenture.

All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall
have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, PNC Funding Corp has caused this Note to be signed
in its name by its Chairman of the Board, President or any Executive or Senior
Vice President, and by its Secretary or an Assistant





- 7 -

Secretary, or by facsimiles of any of their signatures, and its
