RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT
(Pursuant to 2007 Incentive Compensation Plan)
(Pursuant to 2007 Incentive Compensation Plan)
This Restricted Stock Award Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into effective as
of March 18, 2009 (the “Award Date”) between F.N.B. CORPORATION, a Florida corporation (the
“Company”), and _________________ (the “Employee”).
W I T N E S S E T H T H A T:
WHEREAS, at a meeting of the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of
Directors of the Company (the “Board”) held on the Award Date, the Committee, pursuant to the
F.N.B. Corporation 2007 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”), awarded to certain employees of
the Company, employees of First National Bank of Pennsylvania (the “Bank”) and employees of other
non-Bank Affiliates (the term “Affiliates” is defined in the Plan), shares of the Company’s Common
stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Stock”);
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained and
intending to be legally bound hereby, each of the parties covenants and agrees as follows:
1. Award of Restricted Stock. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and
this Agreement, the Company, pursuant to the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference
thereto and made a part hereof as though set forth in full herein (refer to Section 5 herein for a
copy of the Plan), hereby confirms the award to the Employee, on the date first written above, of
an aggregate of ____________ shares of Stock (the “Shares”).
2. Terms and Conditions. The award of Shares to the Employee is subject to the
following terms and conditions:
(a) Vesting and Forfeiture. The Employee’s right to the Shares will vest
(together with all dividends and/or shares of stock purchased on account of such Shares
under the Company Dividend Reinvestment and Voluntary Stock Purchase Plan (“DRP”)) and the
Shares will become freely transferable, subject to Section 9 hereof which describes the
vesting restrictions and limitations which apply if Employee is subject to the executive
compensation requirements as a result of F.N.B.’s participation in the United States
Treasury Department’s Capital Purchase Program (“CPP”) and, provided, the Employee has been
continuously employed by the Company from the Award Date through the earlier of, January
16, 2012 (“Vesting Date”), or upon accelerated vesting of the Shares pursuant to Section
2(b), (c) and (d) hereof. For purposes of this Agreement, the period between the Award
Date and the Vesting Date shall be referred to as the “Vesting Period.”
(b) Accelerated Vesting — Change in Control or Sale. In the event of a
“Change in Control,” as defined in the Plan, prior to the Vesting Date, if the Employee has
remained continuously employed by Company, Bank or non-Bank Affiliate since the Award Date,
the restrictions on the Shares shall lapse and all of the Shares (references to “Shares” in
this Agreement
-1-
shall also include all dividends and/or shares of Stock purchased under the DRP on account
of such Shares) shall immediately vest. All restrictions on the Shares shall lapse and such
Shares shall vest immediately upon the sale of all or substantially all of the common stock
or assets (a “Sale”) of the Bank prior to the Vesting Date, provided the Employee remains
continuously employed by the Bank, the Company or non-Bank Affiliate. In the event of a
Sale of a non-Bank Affiliate which employed the Employee on the date the Sale occurs and the
Employee has been continuously employed by the Affiliate, Company or Bank since the Award
Date, the Shares shall vest in an amount not less than the pro rata amount of the Shares
awarded under this Agreement for the period from the Award Date to the consummation date of
the Sale of the non-Bank Affiliate as calculated by taking the number of Shares times the
fraction, the numerator of which is the actual number of full months the Employee worked
from the Award Date (Employee shall be credited with working the full month of March 2009)
to the consummation date of the Sale of the non-Bank Affiliate, and the denominator of
which is thirty-four (34), representing the number of full months (including March 2009) in
the Vesting Period. (By way of example and for avoidance of doubt, if the non-Bank
Affiliate is sold on August 1, 2010, the Employee would be entitled to vesting of one-half
of the Shares (17 months worked/34 months total in the Vesting Period) under this
Agreement).
(c) Termination While Change in Control is Pending. For purposes of this
Agreement the termination of the Employee without “Cause” (as defined in the Plan),
following execution of a definitive agreement contemplating a “Change in Control” or Sale of
the Bank or non-Bank Affiliate, prior to the consummation date of the “Change in Control”
shall result in the full vesting of the Shares or in the case of the Sale of a non-bank
affiliate, pro rata vesting for the period of time the Employee worked between the Award
Date and the consummation date of such Sale of a non-Bank Affiliate of the Shares on the
consummation date of a “Change in Control” or such Sale.
(d) Termination of Employment; Forfeiture or Acceleration of Shares.
Upon the effective date of the termination of Employee’s employment with the Company, the
Bank, or a non-Bank Affiliate, all Shares then subject to a risk of forfeiture shall
immediately be forfeited and returned to the Company by the administrator of the DRP without
consideration or further action being required of the Company; except in the event such
termination is a result of the following circumstances:
(1) | Death. The restrictions on the Shares shall lapse and the Shares shall automatically vest immediately as a result of Employee’s death during the Vesting Period. | ||
(2) | Disability. The restrictions on the Shares shall lapse and the Shares shall automatically vest immediately as a result of Employee becoming a “Disabled Participant” (as that term is defined in the Plan) during the Vesting Period. | ||
(3) | Early Retirement. The Employee shall be entitled to vesting of not less than the pro rata amount of the Shares for the number of full months of the Vesting Period (Employee shall be credited with working the full month of March 2009) during which Employee remained employed until the actual date of the Employee’s “Early Retirement,” as this term is defined in the Plan (from the Award Date to the actual date of the Employee’s Early Retirement). The number of Employee’s Shares that shall vest under this Agreement upon Employee’s “Early Retirement” shall be calculated by multiplying the Shares by the fraction, the numerator of which is the |
-2-
number of full months the Employee worked during the Vesting Period before the Employee’s actual Early Retirement date, and the denominator of which is thirty-four (34), representing the total number of months in the Vesting Period. | |||
(4) | Normal Retirement. The service vesting requirement set forth under Section 2(a) of this Agreement shall be waived upon Employee’s “Normal Retirement” (as that term is defined in the Plan) in a calendar year other than the calendar year in which the Shares were awarded to Employee and Employee’s Shares shall be entitled to vest on the Vesting Date except, however, if Employee’s “Normal Retirement” occurs in the same calendar year in which the Shares were awarded to Employee, the amount of Shares that shall vest on the Vesting Date will be pro rated by multiplying the Shares by the fraction, the numerator of which is the actual number of full months the Employee worked in calendar year 2009 prior to the effective date of Employee’s “Normal Retirement” (including credit for the full month of March 2009) and the denominator of which is thirty-four (34), representing the total number of months in the Vesting Period. |
(e) Enrollment of Shares in DRP. All Shares shall be enrolled in the
Employee’s name in the Company’s DRP and must remain enrolled in the DRP throughout the
Vesting Period applicable to such Shares. On the date on which the transfer restrictions on
any Shares lapse, the Company shall notify the DRP Administrator as to the name of the
Employee and the number of the Employee’s Shares as to which the restrictions have lapsed.
The Employee shall be entitled to exercise all rights to the unrestricted Shares, including
the right to withdraw such Shares from the DRP, in accordance with the terms of the DRP. On
the Vesting Date the Company shall require Employee to remit to the Company an amount
sufficient to satisfy any tax withholding requirements prior to the delivery or sale of any
certificate for the unrestricted Shares, or the Company shall withhold an appropriate amount
from the unrestricted Shares to be delivered or sold sufficient to satisfy all or a portion
of such tax withholding requirements.
(f) Voting and Dividend Rights. The Employee shall have full voting rights
with respect to all Shares, including the Shares that have not yet vested, unless and until
such Shares are forfeited to the Company. In addition, the Employee shall have full cash
and stock dividend rights with respect to all Shares; provided that (i) all such dividends
or other distributions as to Shares enrolled in the DRP shall be credited to the Employee’s
account in the DRP and, in the case of cash dividends, used to purchase shares of Stock
pursuant to the DRP; and (ii) all Shares credited to the Employee as a result of such cash
or stock dividends shall be subject to the same restrictions on transferability and the same
risk of forfeiture as the Shares that are the basis for the dividend.
(g) Transfer Restrictions. The Employee may not transfer any Shares awarded
hereunder during the Vesting Period applicable to such Shares, that is, until the Employee’s
right to such Shares has vested and such Shares are no longer subject to a risk of
forfeiture. The Employee may, from time to time, name any beneficiary or beneficiaries to
whom any benefit under this Agreement is to be paid in case of his or her death before he or
she receives any or all of such benefit. Each designation will revoke all prior
designations by the Employee, shall be in a form prescribed by the Committee and will be
effective only when filed by the Employee in writing with the Company during his or her
lifetime. In the absence of any such designation, benefits remaining unpaid at the
Employee’s death shall be paid to his or her estate, subject to the terms of the Plan.
-3-
(h) No Right to Continued Employment. This Agreement shall not confer upon
the Employee any right with respect to continuance of employment by the Company or an
Affiliate, nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of his/her employer to terminate
his/her employment at any time.
(i) Compliance With Laws and Regulations. The award of Shares evidenced
hereby shall be subject to all applicable federal and state laws, rules, and regulations and
to such approvals by any government or regulatory agency as may be required. The Company
shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificates for shares of stock prior to (i)
the listing of such shares on any stock exchange on which the Stock may then be listed and
(ii) the effectiveness of any registration statement with respect to such shares that
counsel for the Company deems necessary or appropriate.
3. Investment Representation. The Committee may require the Employee to furnish to
the Company, prior to the issuance of any Shares, an agreement (in such form as the Committee may
specify) in which the Employee represents that the Shares acquired by him or her are being acquired
for investment and not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof.
4. Withholding. The Company, the Bank, or the Affiliate that employs the Employee
shall make appropriate withholdings, if any, from his/her compensation for federal, state and local
taxes payable as a result of the award or vesting of Shares evidenced hereby.
5. Employee Bound by Plan. The Employee hereby acknowledges receipt of an e-mail from
the Company which includes attachments containing copies of (a) the Plan, (b) the Prospectus

1933, as amended, and (c) the Company’s current Prospectus relating to the DRP, and the Employee
