WHEREAS, on April 13, 2011, PNC Bank, N.A., Wilmington, Delaware (the “Bank”), a national bank owned and controlled by PNC, consented to the issuance of a Consent Order by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”) (the “2011 OCC Consent Order”);

WHEREAS, PNC and the Board of Governors intend PNC’s obligations under the 2011 Board Consent Order to serve as a source of strength to the Bank with respect to the Independent Foreclosure Review to be replaced with the obligations specified in this amendment to the 2011 Board Consent Order (the “Amendment”);
