Properties of an extended periodic Anderson model with the f-c Coulomb interaction $\Ufc$ is studied as a model for \Ge and related compounds which is cosidered to exhibit a sharp valence change under pressure. The problem is treated by extending the {\it slave-boson} and large-N expansion method to treat the present system. It is shown that, as the f-level $\epsilon_{\rm f}$ is increased relative to the Fermi level, the sharp valence change is caused by the effect of $\Ufc$ with moderate strength of the order of the bandwith of conduction electrons. The superconducting transition temperature $T_\rc$ due to the valence-fluctuation exchange is estimated on the slave-boson fluctuation approximation. In the model with spherical Fermi surface, $T_\rc$ exhibits sharp peak as a function of $\epsilon_{\rm f}$, simulating the effect of pressure, for the d-wave pairing channel.
