WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the Boards of Directors of CBI and FNB have determined that it is in the best
interests of their respective companies and their shareholders to consummate the strategic business
combination transaction provided for in this Agreement in which CBI will, on the terms and subject
to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, merge with and into FNB (the “Merger”), so that
FNB is the surviving company in the Merger (sometimes referred to in such capacity as the
“Surviving Company”); and
WHEREAS, for federal income Tax, as defined in Section 3.10(b), purposes, it is intended that
the Merger shall qualify as a reorganization under the provisions of Section 368(a) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”);
WHEREAS, the members of the CBI Board of Directors and Xxxxxx X. Xxxxx, Xx. will execute a
voting agreement in the form of Exhibit B (the “Voting Agreement”); and
WHEREAS, the parties desire to make certain representations, warranties and agreements in
connection with the Merger and also to prescribe certain conditions to the Merger.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, representations, warranties and
agreements contained in this Agreement, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties
agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1
THE MERGER
1.1 The Merger.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, in accordance with the
Pennsylvania
Business Corporation Law (the “PBCL”) and the Florida Business Corporation Act (the “FBCA”), at the
Effective Time as defined in Section 1.2, CBI shall merge with and into FNB. FNB shall be the
Surviving Company in the Merger, and shall continue its corporate existence under the laws of the
State of Florida. As of the Effective Time, the separate corporate existence of CBI shall cease.
-1-
(b) FNB may at any time change the method of effecting the combination and CBI shall cooperate
in such efforts, including by entering into an appropriate amendment to this Agreement, to the
extent such amendment only changes the method of effecting the business combination and does not
substantively affect this Agreement or the rights and obligations of the parties or their
respective shareholders under this Agreement; provided, however, that no such change shall (i)
alter or change the amount or kind of the Merger Consideration as defined in Section 1.4(a)
provided for in this Agreement, (ii) adversely affect the Tax treatment of CBI’s shareholders as a
result of receiving the Merger Consideration or the Tax treatment of either party pursuant to this
Agreement or (iii) materially impede or delay consummation of the transactions this Agreement
contemplates.
1.2
Effective Time. The Merger shall become effective as set forth in the articles of
merger (the “Articles of Merger”) that shall be filed with the Secretary of State of the
Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania and the Secretary of State of the State of Florida on or before the
Closing Date as defined in Section 9.1. The term “Effective Time” shall mean the date and time
when the Merger becomes effective as set forth in the Articles of Merger. “Effective Date” shall
mean the date on which the Effective Time occurs.
1.3 Effects of the Merger.
(a) Effects Under PBCL and FBCA. At and after the Effective Time, the Merger shall
have the effects set forth in Sections 1921 through 1932 of the PBCL and Sections 607.1101 through
607.11101 of the FBCA.
(b) Directors and Executive Officers of the Surviving Company. The directors of the
Surviving Company immediately after the Merger shall be the directors of FNB immediately prior to
the Merger. The executive officers of the Surviving Company immediately after the Merger shall be
the executive officers of FNB immediately prior to the Merger.
1.4 Conversion of CBI Capital Stock.
(a) Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, each share of common stock, $.33 par value,
of CBI (“CBI Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall,
by virtue of the Merger, no longer be outstanding and shall as of the Effective Time automatically
be converted into and shall thereafter represent the right to receive as merger consideration (the
“Merger Consideration”) (i) 3.4545 shares of common stock, $.01 par value, of FNB (“FNB Common
Stock”) and (ii) an amount in cash equal to $10.00, without interest. As used in this Agreement,
“Stock Amount” refers to the aggregate amount of shares of FNB Common Stock to be delivered at the
Closing pursuant to Section 1.4(a) and the “Cash Amount” refers to the aggregate amount of cash to
be delivered at the Closing pursuant to Section 1.4(a).
-2-
(b) At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of CBI shall be closed as to holders of
CBI Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time and no transfer of CBI Common Stock by any
such holder shall thereafter be made or recognized. If, after the Effective Time, certificates
representing CBI Common Stock (“Certificates”) are properly presented in accordance with Section
2.2 of this Agreement to the Exchange Agent, as defined in Section 2.1, such Certificates shall be
canceled and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration and any dividends or
distributions to which the holder of such Certificates is entitled pursuant to Section 2.2(b).
(c) Each holder of CBI Common Stock shall have the option of enrolling the whole shares of FNB
Common Stock issuable to such shareholder upon the consummation of the Merger in FNB’s Dividend
Reinvestment and Direct Stock Purchase Plan (the “DRSP Plan”)
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each holder of CBI Common Stock who
would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share of FNB Common Stock, after taking into
account all Certificates delivered by such holder, shall receive an amount in cash, without
interest, rounded to the nearest cent, equal to the product obtained by multiplying (a) the Average
Closing Price, as defined below, as of the Closing Date by (b) the fraction of a share, calculated
to the nearest ten-thousandth when expressed in decimal form, of FNB Common Stock, to which such
holder would otherwise be entitled. No such holder shall be entitled to dividends or other rights
in respect of any such fractional shares. “Average Closing Price” means, as of any specified date,
the average composite closing price of FNB Common Stock on the NYSE as reported in New York Stock
Exchange Composite Transactions in The Wall Street Journal (Eastern Edition) or, if not reported
therein, in another mutually agreed upon authoritative source, for each of the 20 consecutive
trading days ending on and including the fifth such trading day prior to the specified date rounded
to the nearest ten-thousandth.
1.5 CBI 401(K) Plan. Not later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date,
CBI agrees to cause Community Bank and Trust Company (“CBI Bank”) to (i) terminate its 401(k) Plan
and (ii) return to CBI for cancellation shares of CBI Common Stock held by CBI Bank’s Trust
Department for future 401(k) Plan distributions that remain at that time undistributed to 401(k)
Plan participants, which shares of CBI Common Stock shall be canceled and not be subject to
conversion pursuant to Section 1.4.
1.6 CBI DRP Plan. Not later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, CBI
agrees to terminate the Dividend Reinvestment Plan of Comm Bancorp, Inc. (the “CBI DRP Plan”) and
distribute any fractions prior to the Closing Date.
1.7 FNB Capital Stock. At and after the Effective Time, each share of FNB capital
stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain issued and
outstanding and shall not be affected by the Merger.
-3-
1.8 Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Company. FNB’s Charter, as
defined in Section 4.1(b), as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the
articles of incorporation of the Surviving Company until thereafter amended in accordance with
applicable law. FNB’s Bylaws, as defined in Section 4.1(b), as in effect immediately prior to the
Effective Time shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Company until thereafter amended in accordance
with applicable law.
1.9 Tax Consequences. It is intended that the Merger shall constitute a
“reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and that this Agreement shall
constitute a “plan of reorganization” for purposes of Sections 354 and 361 of the Code.
1.10
The Bank Merger. As soon as practicable after the execution of this Agreement,
CBI and FNB shall cause CBI Bank and First National Bank of
Pennsylvania (“FNB Bank”) to enter into
a bank merger agreement, the form of which is attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A (the “Bank
Merger Agreement”), that provides for the merger of CBI Bank with and into FNB Bank (the “Bank
Merger”), in accordance with applicable laws and regulations and the terms of the Bank Merger
Agreement and as soon as practicable after consummation of the Merger. The Bank Merger Agreement
provides that the directors of FNB Bank upon consummation of the Bank Merger shall be the directors
of FNB Bank immediately prior to the Bank Merger.
ARTICLE 2
EXCHANGE OF SHARES
2.1 FNB to Make Merger Consideration Available. Within four business days following
the Effective Time, FNB shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with the Registrar and
Transfer Company, (the “Exchange Agent”), for the benefit of the former shareholders of CBI Common
Stock for exchange in accordance with this Article 2, (i) authority to issue book entries

cash in an aggregate amount equal to the Cash Amount for all of the outstanding shares of CBI
Common Stock, (iii) immediately available funds equal to any dividends or distributions payable in
accordance with Section 2.2(b) and (iv) cash in lieu of any fractional shares (such cash and book

2.2 Exchange of Shares.
(a) After the Effective Time of the Merger, each holder of a Certificate formerly representing
CBI Common Stock, other than Treasury Shares, who surrenders or has surrendered such Certificate or
customary affidavits and indemnification regarding the
loss or destruction of such Certificate, together with duly executed transmittal materials to
the Exchange Agent, shall, upon acceptance thereof, be entitled to (i) a book entry representing
the FNB Common Stock and (ii) the cash into which the shares of CBI Common Stock shall have been
converted pursuant to Section 1.4, as well as cash in lieu of any fractional share of FNB Common
Stock to which such holder would otherwise be entitled, if applicable. The Exchange Agent shall
accept such Certificate upon compliance with such reasonable and customary terms and conditions as
the Exchange Agent may impose to effect an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with normal
practices. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.2, each Certificate representing
CBI Common Stock shall be deemed from and after the Effective Time of the Merger to evidence only
the right to receive the Merger Consideration to which it is entitled hereunder upon such
surrender. FNB shall not be obligated to deliver the Merger Consideration to which any former
holder of CBI Common Stock is entitled as a result of the Merger until such holder surrenders his
Certificate or Certificates for exchange as provided in this Section 2.2. If any certificate for
shares of FNB Common Stock, or any check representing cash and/or declared but unpaid dividends, is
to be issued in a name other than that in which a Certificate surrendered for exchange is issued,
the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer
and the person requesting such exchange shall affix any requisite stock transfer tax stamp to the
Certificate surrendered or provide funds for their purchase or establish to the satisfaction of the
Exchange Agent that such taxes are not payable.
(b) No dividends or other distributions declared or made after the Effective Time of the
Merger with respect to FNB Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time of the Merger
shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate with respect to the shares of FNB
Common Stock represented thereby or issuable in respect thereof, and no cash payment in lieu of a
fractional share shall be paid to any such holder pursuant to Section 1.4, until the holder of
record of such Certificate shall surrender such Certificate. Subject to the effect of applicable
laws, following surrender of any such Certificate, FNB shall cause the book entries to be made for
the benefit of such record holder representing whole shares of FNB Common Stock issued in exchange
for such Certificate and FNB shall pay to such record holder, without interest, (i) at the time of
such surrender, the amount of any cash payable in lieu of a fractional share of FNB Common Stock to
which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 1.4 and the amount of dividends or other
distributions with a record date on or after the Effective Time of the Merger theretofore paid with
respect to such whole shares of FNB Common Stock, and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the
amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time of the
Merger but prior to surrender and a payment date subsequent to surrender payable with respect to
such whole shares of FNB Common Stock.
-5-
(c) All cash and shares of FNB Common Stock issued upon the surrender for exchange of shares
of CBI Common Stock or the provision of customary affidavits and indemnification for lost or
mutilated Certificates in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement and the letter of transmittal, including any cash paid pursuant to Section 1.4,
shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of
CBI Common Stock, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer
books of FNB, after the Merger, of the shares of CBI Common Stock that were outstanding immediately
prior to the Effective Time of the Merger. If, after the Effective Time of the Merger,
Certificates are presented to FNB for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided
in this Agreement.
(d) Any portion of the Exchange Fund, including any interest thereon, that remains
undistributed to the shareholders of CBI following the passage of 12 months after the Effective
Time of the Merger shall be delivered to FNB, upon demand, and any shareholders of CBI who have not
theretofore complied with this Section 2.2 shall thereafter look only to FNB for payment of their
claim for cash and for FNB Common Stock, any cash in lieu of fractional shares of FNB Common Stock
and any dividends or distributions with respect to FNB Common Stock.
(e) Neither CBI nor FNB shall be liable to any holder of shares of CBI Common Stock or FNB
Common Stock, as the case may be, for such shares, and cash or dividends or distributions with
respect thereto, or cash from the Exchange Fund delivered to a public official pursuant to any
applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.
(f) The Exchange Agent shall not be entitled to vote or exercise any rights of ownership with
respect to the shares of FNB Common Stock and cash held by it from time to time hereunder, except
that it shall receive and hold all dividends or other distributions paid or distributed with
respect to such shares of FNB Common Stock for the account of the Persons entitled thereto.
2.3 Adjustments for Dilution and Other Matters. If prior to the Effective Time of the
Merger:
(a) FNB shall declare a stock dividend or distribution on FNB Common Stock with a record date
prior to the Effective Time of the Merger, or subdivide, split up, reclassify or combine FNB Common
Stock, or make a distribution other than a regular quarterly cash dividend not in excess of $.20
per share, on FNB Common Stock in any security convertible into FNB Common Stock, in each case with
a record date prior to the Effective Time of the Merger; or
(b) the outstanding shares of FNB Common Stock shall have been increased, decreased, changed
into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or securities, in each case as a result
of a reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock
split or other similar change in FNB’s capitalization other than pursuant to a business combination
transaction with another bank holding company or financial services company, then a proportionate
adjustment or adjustments will be made to
the Merger Consideration, which adjustment may include, as appropriate, the issuance of
securities, property or cash on the same basis as that on which any of the foregoing shall have
been issued or issuable to, distributed or distributable to or paid or payable to holders of FNB
Common Stock generally.
-6-
2.4 Withholding Rights. The Exchange Agent or, subsequent to the first anniversary of
the Effective Time, FNB, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any cash portion of the
Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of fractional shares of FNB Common Stock, cash dividends or
distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.2(b) and any other cash amounts otherwise payable
pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of CBI Common Stock such amounts as the Exchange Agent or
FNB, as the case may be, is required to deduct and withhold under the Code, or any provision of
state, local or foreign Tax law, with respect to the making of such payment. To the extent the
amounts are so withheld by the Exchange Agent or FNB, as the case may be, such withheld amounts
shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of shares of
CBI Common Stock in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made by the Exchange Agent
or FNB, as the case may be.

3.11 Taxes and Tax Returns.
(a) Each of CBI and its Subsidiaries has duly and timely filed, including all applicable

prior to the date of this Agreement, all such Tax Returns being accurate and
complete in all material respects, has timely paid or withheld and timely remitted all Taxes
shown thereon as arising and has duly and timely paid or withheld and timely remitted all Taxes,
whether or not shown on any Tax Return, that are due and payable or claimed to be due from it by a
Governmental Entity other than Taxes that (i) are being contested in good faith, which have not
been finally determined, and (ii) have been adequately reserved against in accordance with GAAP on
CBI’s most recent consolidated financial statements. All required estimated Tax payments
sufficient to avoid any underpayment penalties or interest have been made by or on behalf of each
of CBI and its Subsidiaries. Neither CBI nor any of its Subsidiaries has granted any extension or
waiver of the limitation period for the assessment or collection of Tax that remains in effect.
Except as set forth in Section 3.10 of the CBI Disclosure Schedule, there are no disputes, audits,
examinations or proceedings in progress or pending, including any notice received of an intent to
conduct an audit or examination, or claims asserted, for Taxes upon CBI or any of its Subsidiaries.
No claim has been made by a Governmental Entity in a jurisdiction where CBI or any of its
Subsidiaries have not filed Tax Returns such that CBI or any of its Subsidiaries is or may be
subject to taxation by that jurisdiction. All deficiencies asserted or assessments made as a
result of any examinations by any Governmental Entity of the Tax Returns of, or including, CBI or
any of its Subsidiaries have been fully paid. No issue has been raised by a Governmental Entity in
any prior examination or audit of each of CBI and its Subsidiaries which, by application of the
same or similar principles, could reasonably be expected to result in a proposed deficiency in
respect of such Governmental Entity for any subsequent taxable period. There are no Liens for
Taxes, other than statutory liens for Taxes not yet due and payable, upon any of the assets of CBI
or any of its Subsidiaries. Neither CBI nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to or is bound by
any Tax sharing, allocation or indemnification agreement or arrangement, other than such an
agreement or arrangement exclusively between or among CBI and its Subsidiaries. Neither CBI nor
any of its Subsidiaries (A) has been a member of an affiliated group filing a consolidated federal
income Tax Return, other than a group the common parent of which was CBI, or (B) has any liability
for the Taxes of any Person, other than CBI or any of its Subsidiaries, under Treas. Reg.
§1.1502-6, or any similar provision of state, local or foreign law, or as a transferee or
successor, by contract or otherwise. Neither CBI nor any of its Subsidiaries has been, within the
past two years or otherwise as part of a “plan” or series of related transactions, within the
meaning of Section 355(e) of the Code, of which the Merger is also a part, or a “distributing
corporation” or a “controlled corporation”, within the meaning of Section 355(a)(1)(A) of the Code,
in a distribution of stock intended to qualify for tax-free treatment under Section 355 of the
Code. Except as set forth in Section 3.2(a) of the CBI Disclosure Schedule, no share of CBI Common
Stock is owned by a Subsidiary of CBI. CBI is not and has not been a “United States real property
holding company” within the meaning of Section 897(c)(2) of the Code during the applicable period
specified in Section 897(c)(1)(A)(ii) of the Code. Neither CBI, its Subsidiaries nor any other
Person on their behalf has executed or entered into any written agreement with, or obtained or
applied for any written consents or written clearances or any other Tax rulings from, nor has there
been any written agreement executed or entered into on behalf of any of
-14-
them with any Governmental Entity, relating to Taxes, including any private letter rulings of the U.S.
Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) or comparable rulings of any Governmental Entity and closing
agreements pursuant to Section 7121 of the Code or any predecessor provision thereof or any similar
provision of any applicable law, which rulings or agreements would have a continuing effect after
the Effective Time. Neither CBI nor any of its Subsidiaries has engaged in a “reportable
transaction,” as set forth in Treas. Reg. § 1.6011-4(b), or any transaction that is the same as
or substantially similar to one of the types of transactions that the IRS has determined to be a
tax avoidance transaction and identified by notice, regulation or other form of published guidance
as a “listed transaction,” as set forth in Treas. Reg. § 1.6011-4(b)(2). FNB has received
complete copies of (i) all federal, state, local and foreign income or franchise Tax Returns of CBI
and its Subsidiaries relating to the taxable periods beginning January 1, 2009 or later and (ii)
any audit report issued within the last three years relating to any Taxes due from or with respect
to CBI or its Subsidiaries. Neither CBI, any of its Subsidiaries nor FNB, as a successor to CBI,

CBI Benefit Plans and all material CBI Employment Agreements.
(b) With respect to each CBI Plan, CBI has delivered or made available to FNB a true, correct
and complete copy of: (i) each writing constituting a part of such CBI Plan, including without
limitation all plan documents, current employee communications, benefit schedules, trust
agreements, and insurance contracts and other funding vehicles, (ii) the most recent Annual Report

of this Agreement have been timely made or paid in full or, to the extent not required to be made
or paid on or before the date of this Agreement, have been fully reflected on the financial
statements to the extent required by GAAP. Each CBI Benefit Plan that is an employee welfare
benefit plan under Section 3(1) of ERISA either (i) is funded through an insurance company contract

compliance, in all material respects, with all provisions of ERISA, the Code and all laws and
regulations applicable to such CBI Plans. Each CBI Plan has been administered in all material
respects in accordance with its terms. There is not now, nor do any circumstances exist that would
reasonably be expected to give rise to, any requirement for the posting of security with respect to
any CBI Plan or the imposition of any material lien on the assets of CBI or any of its Subsidiaries
under ERISA or the Code. Section 3.12(d) of the CBI Disclosure Schedule identifies each CBI Plan
that is intended to be a “qualified plan” within the meaning of Section 401(a) of the Code (the
“CBI Qualified Plans”). The IRS has issued a favorable determination letter with respect to each
CBI Qualified Plan and the related trust that has not been revoked or CBI is entitled to rely on a
favorable opinion issued by the IRS, and, to the knowledge of CBI, there are no existing
circumstances and no events have occurred that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the
qualified status of any CBI Qualified Plan or the related trust. No trust funding any CBI Plan is
intended to meet the requirements of Code Section 501(c)(9). To the knowledge of CBI, none of CBI
and its Subsidiaries nor any other person, including any fiduciary, has engaged in any “prohibited
transaction”, as defined in Section 4975 of the Code or Section 406 of ERISA, which would
reasonably be expected to subject any of the CBI Plans or their related trusts,
CBI, any of its Subsidiaries or any person that CBI or any of its Subsidiaries has an
obligation to indemnify, to any material Tax or penalty imposed under Section 4975 of the Code or
Section 502 of ERISA.
-17-
(e) Except as set forth in Section 3.12(e) of the CBI Disclosure Schedule with respect to each
CBI Plan that is subject to Title IV or Section 302 of ERISA or Section 412 or 4971 of the Code,
(i) there does not exist any accumulated funding deficiency within the meaning of Section 412 of
the Code or Section 302 of ERISA, whether or not waived, and (ii) (A) the fair market value of the
assets of such CBI Plan equals or exceeds the actuarial present value of all accrued benefits under

occurred, (C) all premiums, if any, to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (the “PBGC”) have
been timely paid in full, (D) no liability, other than for premiums to the PBGC, under Title IV of
ERISA has been or would reasonably be expected to be incurred by CBI or any of its Subsidiaries and
(E) the PBGC has not instituted proceedings to terminate any such CBI Plan and, to CBI’s knowledge,
no condition exists that makes it reasonably likely that such proceedings will be instituted or
which would reasonably be expected to constitute grounds under Section 4042 of ERISA for the
termination of, or the appointment of a trustee to administer, any such CBI Plan, except as would
not have a Material Adverse Effect, individually or in the aggregate, in the case of clauses (A),
(B), (C), (D) and (E).
(f) (i) No CBI Benefit Plan is a Multiemployer Plan or a plan that has two or more
contributing sponsors at least two of whom are not under common control, within the meaning of
Section 4063 of ERISA (a “Multiple Employer Plan”), (ii) none of CBI and its Subsidiaries nor any
of their respective ERISA Affiliates has, at any time during the last six years, contributed to or
been obligated to contribute to any Multiemployer Plan or Multiple Employer Plan and (iii) none of
CBI and its Subsidiaries nor any of their respective ERISA Affiliates has incurred, during the last
six years, any Withdrawal Liability that has not been satisfied in full. There does not now exist,
nor do any circumstances exist that would reasonably be likely to result in, any Controlled Group
Liability that would be a liability of CBI or any of its Subsidiaries following the Effective Time,
other than such liabilities that arise solely out of, or relate solely to, the CBI Benefit Plans.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither CBI nor any of its Subsidiaries, nor, to
CBI’s knowledge, any of their respective ERISA Affiliates, has engaged in any transaction described
in Section 4069 or Section 4204 or 4212 of ERISA.

employees or beneficiaries or dependents thereof, except for health continuation coverage as
required by Section 4980B of the Code, Part 6 of Title I of ERISA or applicable law and at no
expense to CBI and its Subsidiaries.

(h) Except as set forth on Section 3.12(h) of the CBI Disclosure Schedule, neither the
execution nor the delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions this

to be provided, to any director, employee or independent contractor of CBI or any of its
Subsidiaries, (ii) increase the amount or value of any benefit or compensation otherwise payable or
required to be provided to any such director, employee or independent contractor, (iii) result in
the acceleration of the time of payment, vesting or funding of any such benefit or compensation or
(iv) result in any amount failing to be deductible by reason of Section 280G of the Code or would
be subject to an excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code or Section 409A of the Code.

has any actual or contingent liability or obligation to provide compensation and/or benefits
in consideration for past, present or future services.
-32-
“FNB Plan” means any FNB Benefit Plan other than a Multiemployer Plan.
(a) Section 4.11(a) of the FNB Disclosure Schedule includes a complete list of all material
FNB Benefit Plans and all material FNB Employment Agreements.
(b) With respect to each FNB Plan, FNB has delivered or made available to CBI a true, correct
and complete copy of: (i) each writing constituting a part of such FNB Plan, including without
limitation all plan documents, employee communications, benefit schedules, trust agreements, and
insurance contracts and other funding vehicles, (ii) the most recent Annual Report (Form 5500
Series) and accompanying schedule, if any, (iii) the current summary plan description and any
material modifications thereto, if any (in each case, whether or not required to be furnished under

if any, and (vi) the most recent determination letter from the IRS, if any. FNB has delivered or

or paid on or before the date of this Agreement, have been fully reflected on the financial
statements to the extent required by GAAP. Each FNB Benefit Plan that is an employee welfare

compliance, in all material respects, with all provisions of ERISA, the Code and all laws and
regulations applicable to such FNB Plans. Each FNB Plan has been administered in all material
respects in accordance with its terms. There is not now, nor do any circumstances exist that would
reasonably be expected to give rise to, any requirement for the posting of security with respect to
a FNB Plan or the imposition of any material lien on the assets of FNB or any of its Subsidiaries
under ERISA or the Code. Section 4.11(d) of the FNB Disclosure Schedule identifies each FNB Plan
that is intended to be a “qualified plan” within the meaning of Section 401(a) of the Code (“FNB
Qualified Plans”). The IRS has issued a favorable determination letter with respect to each
Qualified Plan and the related trust that has not been revoked or FNB is entitled to rely on a
favorable opinion issued by the IRS, and, to the knowledge of FNB, there are no existing
circumstances and no events have occurred that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the
qualified status of any FNB Qualified Plan or the related trust. No trust funding any FNB Plan is
intended to
-33-
meet the
requirements of Code Section 501(c)(9). To the knowledge of FNB, none of FNB and its Subsidiaries
nor any other person, including any fiduciary, has engaged in any “prohibited transaction”, as

subject any of the FNB Plans or their related trusts, FNB, any of its Subsidiaries or any person
that FNB or any of its Subsidiaries has an obligation to indemnify, to any material Tax or penalty
imposed under Section 4975 of the Code or Section 502 of ERISA.
(e) With respect to each FNB Plan that is subject to Title IV or Section 302 of ERISA or
Section 412 or 4971 of the Code, (i) there does not exist any accumulated funding deficiency within
the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA, whether or not waived, and, (ii)

fair market value of the assets of such FNB Plan equals or exceeds the actuarial present value of

requirement has not been waived has occurred, (C) all premiums to the PBGC have been timely paid in
full, (D) no liability, other than for premiums to the PBGC, under Title IV of ERISA has been or
would reasonably be expected to be incurred by FNB or any of its Subsidiaries and (E) the PBGC has
not instituted proceedings to terminate any such FNB Plan and, to FNB’s knowledge, no condition
exists that presents a risk that such proceedings will be instituted or which would reasonably be
expected to constitute grounds under Section 4042 of ERISA for the termination of, or the
appointment of a trustee to administer, any such FNB Plan.
(f) (i) No FNB Benefit Plan is a Multiemployer Plan or a Multiple Employer Plan, (ii) none of
FNB and its Subsidiaries nor any of their respective ERISA Affiliates has, at any time during the
last six years, contributed to or been obligated to contribute to any Multiemployer Plan or
Multiple Employer Plan and (iii) none of FNB and its Subsidiaries nor any of their respective ERISA
Affiliates has incurred, during the last six years, any Withdrawal Liability that has not been
satisfied in full. There does not now exist, nor do any circumstances exist that would reasonably
be expected to result in, any Controlled Group Liability that would be a liability of FNB or any of
its Subsidiaries following the Effective Time, other than such liabilities that arise solely out
of, or relate solely to, the FNB Benefit Plans. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
neither FNB nor any of its Subsidiaries, nor, to FNB’s knowledge, any of their respective ERISA
Affiliates, has engaged in any transaction described in Section 4069 or Section 4204 or 4212 of
ERISA.

health, medical or other welfare benefits to former employees or beneficiaries or dependents
thereof, except for health continuation coverage as required by Section 4980B of the Code, Part 6
of Title I of ERISA or applicable law and at no expense to FNB and its Subsidiaries.
-34-

transactions this Agreement contemplates will, either alone or in conjunction with any other event,
whether contingent or otherwise, (i) result in any payment or benefit becoming due or payable, or
required to be provided, to any director, employee or independent contractor of FNB or any of its
Subsidiaries, (ii) increase the amount or value of any benefit or compensation otherwise payable or
required to be provided to any such director, employee or independent contractor, (iii) result in
the acceleration of the time of payment, vesting or funding of any such benefit or compensation or
(iv) result in any amount failing to be deductible by reason of Section 280G of the Code or would
be subject to an excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code or Section 409A of the Code.
(i) No labor organization or group of employees of FNB or any of its Subsidiaries has made a
pending demand for recognition or certification, and there are no representation or certification
proceedings or petitions seeking a representation proceeding presently pending or, to FNB’s
knowledge, threatened to be brought or filed, with the National Labor Relations Board or any other
labor relations tribunal or authority. Each of FNB and its Subsidiaries is in material compliance
with all applicable laws and collective bargaining agreements respecting employment and employment
practices, terms and conditions of employment, wages and hours and occupational safety and health.

similarly situated financial holding companies or their Subsidiaries, each item in this sentence,
whether or not set forth in the FNB Disclosure Schedule (“FNB Regulatory Agreement”), nor has FNB
or any of its Subsidiaries been advised since January 1, 2008 by any Regulatory Agency or other
Governmental Entity that it is considering issuing, initiating, ordering or requesting any such FNB
Regulatory Agreement. Each bank Subsidiary of FNB has at least a “satisfactory” rating under the
U.S. Community Reinvestment Act.
4.16 Undisclosed Liabilities. Except for (i) those liabilities that are reflected or
reserved against on the consolidated balance sheet of FNB included in FNB’s Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2010 (the “FNB 10-Q”), including any notes thereto,
(ii) liabilities incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated
thereby and (iii) liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent with past
practice since June 30, 2010, since June 30, 2010, neither FNB nor any of its Subsidiaries has
incurred any liability of any nature whatsoever, whether absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise
and whether due or to become due, that, either individually or in the aggregate, has had or is
reasonably likely to have, a Material Adverse Effect on FNB.

applicable Environmental Laws, (B) no Contamination exceeding applicable cleanup standards or

or formerly owned or operated by FNB or any of its Subsidiaries, that reasonably could result in a
material Environmental Liability for FNB or its Subsidiaries, (C) no Contamination exists at any
real property currently owned by a third party that reasonably could result in a material

Schedule and made available to CBI copies of all environmental reports or studies, sampling data,
correspondence and filings in its possession or relating to FNB, its Subsidiaries and any currently

(b) There are no legal, administrative, arbitral or other proceedings, claims, actions, causes
of action, private environmental investigations or remediation activities or governmental
investigations of any nature seeking to impose, or that are reasonably likely to result in the
imposition, on FNB of any liability or obligation arising under common law or under any local,
state or federal environmental statute, regulation or ordinance including the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, pending or threatened
against FNB, which liability or obligation is reasonably likely to have, either individually or in
the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on FNB. To the knowledge of FNB, there is no reasonable
basis for any such proceeding, claim, action or governmental investigation that would impose any
liability or obligation that would be reasonably likely to have, individually or in the aggregate,
a Material Adverse Effect on FNB. FNB is not subject to any agreement, order, judgment, decree,
letter or memorandum by or with any Governmental Entity or third party imposing any liability or
obligation with respect to the foregoing that is reasonably likely to have, either individually or
in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on FNB.

or circumstance that could reasonably be expected to prevent the Merger from qualifying as a
“reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

4.19 Loans; Nonperforming and Classified Assets.
(a) Except as set forth in Section 4.19 of the FNB Disclosure Schedule, each Loan on the books
and records of FNB and its Subsidiaries was made and has been serviced in all material respects in
accordance with their customary lending standards in the ordinary course of business, is evidenced
in all material respects by appropriate and sufficient documentation and, to the knowledge of FNB,
constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the obligor named in this Agreement, subject
to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer and similar laws of
general applicability relating to or affecting creditor’s rights or by general equity principles.

Subsidiary as of the latest practicable date prior to the date of this Agreement: (A) any written

delinquent in payment of principal or interest, or to FNB’s knowledge, in default of any other
material provision thereof, (B) each Loan that has been classified as “substandard,” “doubtful,”

all accounts for which it acts as a fiduciary, including but not limited to accounts for which it
serves as a trustee, agent, custodian, personal representative, guardian, conservator or investment
advisor, in accordance with the terms of the governing documents and applicable laws and
regulations. Neither FNB nor any of its Subsidiaries, nor any of their respective directors,
officers or employees, has committed any breach of trust to FNB’s knowledge with respect to any
fiduciary account and the records for each such fiduciary account are true and correct and
accurately reflect the assets of such fiduciary account.
4.21 Allowance for Loan Losses. FNB Bank’s allowance for loan losses is sufficient at
the date of this Agreement for its reasonably anticipated loan losses, is in compliance with the
standards established by applicable Governmental Entities and GAAP and, to the knowledge of FNB, is

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS
6.1 Regulatory Matters.
(a) FNB agrees to prepare and file, as soon as practicable, the Registration Statement with
the SEC in connection with the issuance of FNB Common Stock in the Merger including the Proxy
Statement and prospectus and other proxy solicitation materials of CBI constituting a part thereof
and all related documents. CBI shall prepare and furnish to FNB such information relating to it
and its directors, officers and shareholders as may be reasonably required in connection with the
above referenced documents based on its knowledge of and access to the information required for
said documents, and CBI, and its legal, financial and accounting advisors, shall have the right to
review in advance and approve, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld such Registration
Statement prior to its filing. CBI agrees to cooperate with FNB and FNB’s counsel and accountants
in requesting and obtaining appropriate opinions, consents and letters from its financial advisor
and independent auditor in connection with the Registration Statement and the Proxy Statement. As
long as CBI has cooperated as described above, FNB agrees to file, or cause to be filed, the
Registration Statement and the Proxy Statement with the SEC as promptly as reasonably practicable.
Each of CBI and FNB agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration
Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as reasonably practicable
after the filing thereof. FNB also agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain all
necessary state securities law or “Blue Sky” permits and approvals required to carry out the
transactions this Agreement contemplates. After the SEC has declared the Registration Statement
effective under the Securities Act, CBI shall promptly mail at its expense the Proxy Statement to
its shareholders.
(b) Each of CBI and FNB agree that none of the respective information supplied or to be
supplied by it for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Registration Statement shall, at
the time the Registration Statement and each amendment or supplement thereto, if any, becomes
effective under the Securities Act, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state any material fact required to be stated in this Agreement or necessary to make the statements
in this Agreement not misleading. Each of CBI and FNB agree that none of the respective
information supplied or to be supplied by it for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the
Proxy Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto shall contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated in this Agreement or
necessary to make the statements in this Agreement not misleading. Each of CBI and FNB further
agree that if such party shall become aware prior to the Effective Time of any information
furnished by such party that would cause any of the statements in the Registration Statement or the
Proxy Statement to be false or misleading with respect to any material fact, or to omit to state
any material fact necessary to make the statements in this Agreement not false or misleading, to
promptly inform the other parties thereof and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such
information shall be filed promptly with the SEC and, to the extent required by law, disseminated
to the shareholders of CBI and/or FNB.
-45-
(c) FNB agrees to advise CBI, promptly after FNB receives notice thereof, of the time when the
Registration Statement has become effective or any supplement or amendment has been filed, of the
issuance of any stop order or the suspension of the qualification of FNB Common Stock for offering
or sale in any jurisdiction, of the initiation or, to the extent FNB is aware thereof, threat of
any proceeding for any such purpose, or of any request by the SEC for the amendment or supplement
of the Registration Statement or for additional information.
(d) The parties shall cooperate with each other and use their respective reasonable best
efforts to promptly prepare and file all necessary documentation, to effect all applications,
notices, petitions and filings, to obtain as promptly as practicable all permits, consents,
approvals and authorizations of all third parties, Regulatory Agencies and Governmental Entities
that are necessary or advisable to consummate the transactions this Agreement contemplates,
including the Merger, and to comply with the terms and conditions of all such permits, consents,
approvals and authorizations of all such Regulatory Agencies and Governmental Entities. CBI and
FNB shall have the right to review in advance, and, to the extent practicable, each will consult
the other on, in each case subject to applicable laws relating to the exchange of information, all
the information relating to CBI or FNB, as the case may be, and any of their respective
Subsidiaries, which appear in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any third
party, Regulatory Agency or any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions this
Agreement contemplates. In exercising the foregoing right, each of the parties shall act
reasonably and as promptly as practicable. The parties shall consult with each other with respect
to the obtaining of all permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all third parties,
Regulatory Agencies and Governmental Entities necessary or advisable to consummate the transactions
this Agreement contemplates and each party will keep the other apprised of the status of matters
relating to completion of the transactions this Agreement contemplates. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to require FNB to take any action, or commit
to take any action, or agree to any condition or restriction, in connection with obtaining the
foregoing permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of third parties, Regulatory Agencies or
Governmental Entities, that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on FNB
and its Subsidiaries, including the Surviving Company after giving effect to the Merger, taken as a
whole after the Effective Time (a “Materially Burdensome Regulatory Condition”). In addition, CBI
agrees to cooperate and use its reasonable best efforts to assist FNB in preparing and filing such
petitions and filings, and in obtaining such permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of
third parties, Regulatory Agencies and Governmental Entities, that may be necessary or advisable to
effect any mergers and/or consolidations of Subsidiaries of CBI and FNB following consummation of
the Merger.
-46-
(e) Each of FNB and CBI shall, upon request, furnish to the other all information concerning
itself, its Subsidiaries, directors, officers and shareholders and such other matters as may be
reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with the Proxy Statement, the Registration
Statement or any other statement, filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of FNB, CBI or
any of their respective Subsidiaries to any Regulatory Agency or Governmental Entity in connection
with the Merger and the other transactions this Agreement contemplates.
(f) Each of FNB and CBI shall promptly advise the other upon receiving any communication from
any Regulatory Agency or Governmental Entity whose consent or approval is required for consummation
of the transactions this Agreement contemplates that causes such party to believe that there is a
reasonable likelihood that any Requisite Regulatory Approval, as defined in Section 7.1(c), will
not be obtained or that the receipt of any such approval may be materially delayed.
(g) CBI and FNB shall consult with each other before issuing any press release with respect to
the Merger or this Agreement and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public
statements without the prior consent of the other party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld;
provided, however, that a party may, without the prior consent of the other party, but after such
consultation, to the extent practicable under the circumstances, issue such press release or make
such public statements as may upon the advice of outside counsel be required by law or the rules or
regulations of the SEC, the FDIC, the OCC, the NYSE or FINRA. In addition, the Chief Executive
Officers of CBI and FNB shall be permitted to respond to appropriate questions about the Merger
from the press. CBI and FNB shall cooperate to develop all public announcement materials and make
appropriate management available at presentations related to the Merger as reasonably requested by
the other party.
6.2 Access to Information.
(a) Upon reasonable notice and subject to applicable laws relating to the exchange of
information, each of CBI and FNB shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, afford to the
officers, employees, accountants, counsel and other representatives of the other, reasonable
access, during normal business hours during the period prior to the Effective Time, to all its
properties, books, contracts, commitments and records, and, during such period, the parties shall,
and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, make available to the other party all other information
concerning its business, properties and personnel as the other may reasonably request. CBI shall,
and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, provide to FNB a copy of each report, schedule and
other document filed or received by it during such period pursuant to the requirements of federal
or state banking laws other than reports or documents that such party is not permitted to disclose
under applicable law. Neither CBI nor FNB nor any of their Subsidiaries shall be required to
provide access to or to disclose information where such access or disclosure would
-47-
jeopardize the
attorney-client privilege of
such party or its Subsidiaries or contravene any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment,
decree, fiduciary duty or binding agreement entered into prior to the date of this Agreement. The
parties shall make appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements under circumstances in which the
restrictions of the preceding sentence apply to the extent possible in light of those restrictions.
(b) All information and materials provided pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to the
provisions of the Confidentiality Agreements entered into between CBI and FNB (the “Confidentiality
Agreements”).
(c) No investigation by either of the parties or their respective representatives shall affect
the representations and warranties of the other set forth in this Agreement.
6.3 CBI Shareholder Approval. CBI shall call a meeting of its shareholders for the
purpose of obtaining the requisite shareholder approval required in connection with this Agreement
and the Merger (the “CBI Shareholders Meeting”), and shall use its reasonable best efforts to call
such meeting as soon as reasonably practicable following the Registration Statement being declared
effective giving reasonable time for printing and mailing. Subject to Section 6.11, the Board of
Directors of CBI shall recommend approval and adoption of this Agreement, the Merger and the other
transactions this Agreement contemplates, by CBI’s shareholders and shall include such
recommendation in the Proxy Statement (the “CBI Recommendation”). Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, CBI’s obligations pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 6.3 shall not be

6.6 Benefit Plans.
(a) As soon as administratively practicable after the Effective Time, FNB shall take all
reasonable action so that employees of CBI and its Subsidiaries shall be entitled to participate in
each employee benefit plan, program or arrangement of FNB of general
applicability with the exception of FNB’s defined benefit pension plan (the “FNB Plans”) to
the same extent as similarly-situated employees of FNB and its Subsidiaries, it being understood
that inclusion of the employees of CBI and its Subsidiaries in the FNB Plans may occur at different
times with respect to different plans, provided that coverage shall be continued under
corresponding Benefit Plans of CBI and its Subsidiaries until such employees are permitted to
participate in the FNB Plans and provided further, however, that nothing contained in this
Agreement shall require FNB or any of its Subsidiaries to make any grants to any former employee of
CBI under any discretionary equity compensation plan of FNB. FNB shall cause each FNB Plans in
which employees of CBI and its Subsidiaries are eligible to participate to recognize, for purposes
of determining eligibility to participate in, the vesting of benefits under the FNB Plans, the
service of such employees with CBI and its Subsidiaries to the same extent as such service was
credited for such purpose by CBI, provided, however, that such service shall not be recognized to
the extent that such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits. Except for the
commitment to continue those Benefit Plans of CBI and its Subsidiaries that correspond to FNB Plans
until employees of CBI and its Subsidiaries are included in such FNB Plans, nothing in this
Agreement shall limit the ability of FNB to amend or terminate any of CBI’s Benefit Plans in
accordance with and to the extent permitted by their terms at any time permitted by such terms.
(b) At and following the Effective Time, and except as otherwise provided in Section 6.6(d)
FNB shall honor, and the Surviving Company shall continue to be obligated to perform, in accordance
with their terms, all benefit obligations to, and contractual rights of, current and former
employees of CBI and its Subsidiaries and current and former directors of CBI and its Subsidiaries
existing as of the Effective Date, as well as all employment, executive severance or
“change-in-control” or similar agreements, plans or policies of CBI that are set forth on Schedule
6.6(b) of the CBI Disclosure Schedule, subject to the receipt of any necessary approval from any
Governmental Entity. The severance or termination payments that are payable pursuant to such
agreements, plans or policies of CBI are set forth on Schedule 6.6(b) of the CBI Disclosure
Schedule. Following the consummation of the Merger and for one year thereafter, FNB shall, to the
extent not duplicative of other severance benefits, pay employees of CBI or its Subsidiaries who
are terminated for other than cause, severance as set forth on Schedule 6.6(b) of the FNB
Disclosure Schedule. Following the expiration of the foregoing severance policy, any years of
service recognized for purposes of this Section 6.6(b) will be taken into account under the terms
of any applicable severance policy of FNB or its Subsidiaries.
(c) At such time as employees of CBI and its Subsidiaries become eligible to participate in a
medical, dental or health plan of FNB or its Subsidiaries, FNB shall cause each such plan to (i)
waive any preexisting condition limitations to the extent such conditions are covered under the
applicable medical, health or dental plans of FNB and (ii) waive any waiting period limitation or
evidence of insurability requirement that would otherwise be applicable to such employee or
dependent on or after the Effective Time to the extent such
employee or dependent had satisfied any similar limitation or requirement under an analogous
Benefit Plan prior to the Effective Time.

(d) Immediately prior to the Effective Time, CBI shall, at the written request of FNB, freeze
or terminate such of the CBI Benefit Plans as is requested by FNB.
(e) By August 31, 2010, the five principal executive officers of CBI identified in Schedule
6.6(e) shall deliver to CBI and FNB a supplemental letter pursuant to which such officer agrees to
continue in the employment of CBI for the respective period of time set forth in Schedule 6.6(e)
and, were such officer to leave the employment of CBI prior to the expiration of such period, such
officer shall not be entitled to receive any severance or change of control benefits under such
agreement.
6.7 Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance.
(a) In the event of any threatened or actual claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation,
whether civil, criminal or administrative, including any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or
investigation (each a “Claim”) in which any individual who is now, or has been at any time prior to
the date of this Agreement, or who becomes prior to the Effective Time, a director or officer of
CBI or any of its Subsidiaries or who is or was serving at the request of CBI or any of its
Subsidiaries as a director, officer, employee, member or otherwise of another Person (the
“Indemnified Parties”), is, or is threatened to be, made a party based in whole or in part on, or
arising in whole or in part out of, or pertaining to (i) the fact that he is or was a director or
officer of CBI or any of its Subsidiaries or was serving at the request of CBI or any of its
Subsidiaries as a director or officer of another Person or (ii) this Agreement or any of the
transactions this Agreement contemplates, whether asserted or arising before or after the Effective
Time, the parties shall cooperate and use their best efforts to defend against and respond thereto.
From and after the Effective Time, FNB shall, and shall cause the Surviving Company to, indemnify,
defend and hold harmless, as and to the fullest extent currently provided under applicable law, the
CBI Articles, the CBI Bylaws and any agreement set forth in Section 6.7 of the CBI Disclosure
Schedule, each such Indemnified Party against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs,
expenses, including reimbursement for reasonable fees and expenses, including fees and expenses of
legal counsel, including local counsel, incurred in advance of the final disposition of any claim,
suit, proceeding or investigation upon receipt of any undertaking required by applicable law,
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any such threatened or actual
claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation.
(b) FNB and the Surviving Company agree that all rights to indemnification of liabilities,
including advancement of expenses, and all limitations with respect thereto, existing in favor of
any Indemnified Person, as provided in the CBI Articles or the CBI Bylaws, shall survive the Merger
and shall continue in full force and effect, without any amendment thereto; provided, however, that
in the event any Claim is asserted or made, any
-50-
determination required to be made with respect to whether an Indemnified Person’s conduct
complies with the standards set forth under the PBCL, the CBI Articles or the CBI Bylaws, as the
case may be, shall be made by independent legal counsel, whose fees and expenses shall be paid by
FNB and the Surviving Company, selected by such Indemnified Person and reasonably acceptable to
FNB; and, provided further that nothing in this Section 6.7 shall impair any rights or obligations
of any current or former director or officer of CBI or its Subsidiaries, including pursuant to the
respective organizational documents of CBI, or their respective Subsidiaries, under the PBCL or
otherwise.
(c) Prior to the Effective Time, FNB shall obtain at the expense of CBI, and FNB shall
maintain for a period of six years following the Effective Time, directors’ and officers’ liability
insurance and fiduciary liability insurance policies in respect of acts or omissions occurring at
or prior to the Effective Time, including the transactions this Agreement contemplates, covering
the Indemnified Persons who as of the Effective Time are covered by CBI’s directors’ and officers’
liability insurance or fiduciary liability insurance policies, provided that FNB may substitute
therefor policies of at least the same coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions that
are not less advantageous than such policies of CBI or single premium tail coverage with policy
limits equal to CBI’s existing coverage limits, provided that in no event shall FNB be required to
expend for any one year an amount in excess of 150% of the annual premium currently paid by CBI for
such insurance (the “Insurance Amount”), and further provided that if FNB is unable to maintain or
obtain the insurance called for by this Section 6.7(c) as a result of the preceding provision, FNB
shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain the most advantageous coverage as is
available for the maximum Insurance Amount. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence
shall be deemed to have been satisfied if prepaid policies have been obtained prior to the
Effective Time from an insurer or insurers selected by FNB that have an insurer financial strength
rating by A.M. Best Co. of at least “A,” which policies provide the Indemnified Persons with
coverage, from the Effective Time to the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, including in
respect of the transactions this Agreement contemplates, on terms that are no less advantageous to
Indemnified Persons than CBI’s D&O Insurance existing immediately prior to the date of this
Agreement. If such prepaid policies have been obtained prior to the Effective Time, then the FNB
shall maintain such policies in full force and effect and continue the obligations thereunder.
(d) The provisions of this Section 6.7 shall survive the Effective Time and are intended to be
for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party and his or her heirs and
representatives.
6.8 Additional Agreements. In case at any time after the Effective Time any further
action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, including any merger
between a Subsidiary of FNB, on the one hand, and a Subsidiary of CBI, on the other hand, or to
vest the Surviving Company with full title to all properties, assets, rights,
approvals, immunities and franchises of either party to the Merger, the proper officers and
directors of each party and their respective Subsidiaries shall take all such necessary action as
may be reasonably requested by, and at the sole expense of, FNB.

6.9 Advice of Changes. Each of FNB and CBI shall promptly advise the other of any
change or event (i) having or reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on it or (ii)
that it believes would or would be reasonably likely to cause or constitute a material breach of
any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement; provided, however,
that no such notification shall affect the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of
the parties, or remedies with respect thereto, or the conditions to the obligations of the parties
under this Agreement; provided, further, that a failure to comply with this Section 6.9 shall not
constitute the failure of any condition set forth in Article VII to be satisfied unless the
underlying Material Adverse Effect or material breach would independently result in the failure of
a condition set forth in Article VII to be satisfied.

received by CBI and the CBI Board of Directors in compliance with Sections 6.11(a) and (b) and that
CBI’s Board of Directors concludes in good faith, in consultation with its financial and legal
advisors, that such Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal; provided, however, that this
Agreement may be terminated by CBI pursuant to this Section 8.1(g) only after the fifth business
day following CBI’s provision of written notice to FNB advising FNB, that the CBI Board of
Directors is prepared to accept a Superior Proposal, it being agreed that the delivery of such
notice shall not entitle FNB to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(g) and only
if (i) during such five-business day period, CBI has caused its financial and legal advisors to
negotiate with FNB in good faith to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this
Agreement such that such Acquisition Proposal would no longer constitute a Superior Proposal and
(ii) CBI’s Board of Directors has considered such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this
Agreement resulting from such negotiations and has concluded in good faith, based upon consultation
with its financial and legal advisers, that such Acquisition Proposal remains a Superior Proposal
even after giving effect to the adjustments proposed by FNB and further provided that such
termination shall not be effective until CBI has paid the Break-up Fee to FNB.
8.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement by either
FNB or CBI as provided in Section 8.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and have no
effect except (i) Sections 6.1(g), 6.2(b), 6.11(f)-(h), 8.2, 8.3, 9.3 and 9.8 shall survive any
termination of this Agreement and (ii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, no party shall be relieved or released from any liability or damages arising out of its
willful breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement.
8.3 Amendment. Subject to compliance with applicable law and Section 1.1(b), this
Agreement may be amended by the parties, by action taken or authorized by their respective Boards
of Directors at any time before or after approval of the matters presented in connection with
Merger by the shareholders of CBI; provided, however, that after any approval of the transactions
this Agreement contemplates by the shareholders of CBI, there may not be, without further approval
of their shareholders, any amendment of this Agreement that requires such further approval under
applicable law. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on
behalf of each of the parties.
8.4 Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time, the parties, by
action taken or authorized by their respective Board of Directors, may, to the extent legally
allowed, (i) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the
other party, (ii) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained in this
Agreement and (iii) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions
-60-
contained in this Agreement; provided, however, that after any approval of the transactions

of their shareholders, any extension or waiver of this Agreement or any portion of this Agreement
that changes the amount or form of the consideration to be delivered to the holders of CBI Common
Stock and the holders of FNB Common Stock under this Agreement, other than as this Agreement
contemplates. Any agreement on the part of a party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid
only if set forth in a written instrument signed on behalf of such party, but such extension or
waiver or failure to insist on strict compliance with an obligation, covenant, agreement or
condition shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other
failure.

may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by
law. Each of the parties to this Agreement irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest
extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the

have a Material Adverse Effect on CBI or FNB, any term or provision of this Agreement that is
invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the
extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the
remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of any
of the terms or provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. If any provision of this
Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only so
broad as is enforceable. In all such cases, the parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to
substitute a valid, legal and enforceable provision that, insofar as practicable, implements the
original purposes and intents of this Agreement.
9.10 Assignment; Third Party Beneficiaries. Neither this Agreement nor any of the
rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned by either of the parties,
whether by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other party.
Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of
and be enforceable by each of the parties and their respective successors and assigns. Except as
otherwise specifically provided in Section 6.6 and 6.7, this Agreement, including the documents and

other than the parties to this Agreement any rights or remedies under this Agreement.

F.N.B. Corporation
Xxx X.X.X. Xxxxxxxxx
Xxxxxxxxx, XX 00000
Ladies and Gentlemen:
F.N.B. Corporation (“FNB”) and Community Bancorp, Inc. (“CBI”) have entered into an
Agreement
and Plan of Merger dated as of August 9, 2010 (the “Agreement”) whereby CBI will merge with and
into FNB (the “Merger”) and shareholders of CBI will receive the Merger Consideration as set forth
in the Agreement as of the closing date of the Merger. All defined terms used but not defined
herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Agreement.
A condition to FNB’s obligations under the Agreement is that I execute and deliver this Letter
Agreement to FNB.
Intending to be legally bound hereby, I irrevocably agree and represent as follows:
(a) I agree to vote or cause to be voted for approval and adoption of the Agreement and the
transactions contemplated thereby all shares of CBI common stock over which I have sole voting
power, and will use my commercially reasonable efforts to cause any shares of CBI common stock over
which I share voting power to be voted for approval and adoption of the Agreement and the
transactions contemplated thereby. Beneficial ownership shall have the meaning assigned to it
pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
(b) On or prior to the record date for the meeting of the CBI shareholders to vote on approval
and adoption of the Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, I agree (i) not to offer,
sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any shares of CBI common stock over which I have sole
dispositive power, and (ii) to use my commercially reasonable efforts to not permit the offer,
sale, transfer or other disposition of any shares of CBI common stock over
which I have shared dispositive power, except to the extent that I may be permitted under law
to make charitable gifts or as permitted by paragraph (g) hereof.
B-1
F.N.B. Corporation

(c) I have beneficial ownership over the number of shares of CBI common stock, and hold stock
options for the number of shares of CBI common stock, if any, set forth in Appendix A hereto.
(d) I agree that CBI shall not be bound by any attempted sale of any shares of CBI common
stock over which I have sole voting and dispositive power, and CBI’s transfer agent shall be given
appropriate stop transfer orders and shall not be required to register any such attempted sale,
unless the sale has been effected in compliance with the terms of this Letter Agreement.
(e) I agree that, if I exercise any options to purchase CBI common stock, I will not sell any
of the shares of CBI common stock so acquired except as part of a cashless exercise transaction
from the date of such exercise until the Effective Time.
(f) I represent that I have the capacity to enter into this Letter Agreement and that it is a
valid and binding obligation enforceable against me in accordance with its terms, subject to
bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws affecting creditors’ rights and general equitable principles.
(g) I may transfer any or all of the shares of CBI common stock over which I have beneficial
ownership to my spouse, ancestors or descendants; provided, however, that in any such case, prior
to and as a condition to the effectiveness of such transfer, each person to which any of such
shares or any interest in any of such shares is or may be transferred shall have executed and
delivered to FNB an agreement to be bound by the terms of this Letter Agreement. In addition, I
may sell, transfer or assign shares of CBI common stock to the extent and on behalf of trusts or
estates of which I am not a beneficiary in order to comply with fiduciary obligations or legal
requirements.
I am signing this Letter Agreement solely in my capacity as a shareholder of CBI and as an

EXHIBIT C
FORM OF AFFILIATES LETTER
___________, 2010
F.N.B. Corporation
Xxx X.X.X. Xxxxxxxxx
Xxxxxxxxx, XX 00000
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I have been advised that I may be deemed an “affiliate” of Comm Bancorp, Inc., a Pennsylvania
corporation (“CBI”), as that term is defined in Rule 144 and used in Rule 145 promulgated by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Securities Act”). I understand that pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger,
dated as of August 9, 2010 (the “Agreement”), between F.N.B. Corporation, a Florida corporation
(“Buyer”) and CBI, CBI plans to merge with and into Buyer (the “Merger”).
I further understand that as a result of the Merger, I will be entitled to receive shares of
common stock, par value $.01 per share, of Buyer (“Buyer Common Stock”) in exchange for shares of
common stock, par value $.33 per share, of CBI (“CBI Common Stock”).
I have carefully read this letter and reviewed the Agreement, discussed its requirements and
other applicable limitations upon my ability to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of Buyer Common
Stock, to the extent I felt necessary, with my counsel or counsel for CBI.
I represent, warrant and covenant with and to Buyer with respect to the shares of Buyer Common
Stock I receive as a result of the Merger:
I shall not make any sale, transfer or other disposition of such shares of Buyer Common Stock
unless (i) such sale, transfer or other disposition has been registered under the Securities Act,
(ii) such sale, transfer or other disposition is made in conformity with the provisions of Rule 145
under the Securities Act or (iii) in the opinion of counsel in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Buyer or under a “no-action” letter obtained by me from the staff of the SEC, such
sale, transfer or other disposition will not violate the registration requirements of, or is
otherwise exempt from registration under, the Securities Act.

I understand that Buyer is under no obligation to register the sale, transfer or other
disposition of shares of Buyer Common Stock by me or on my behalf under the Securities Act.
I understand that stop transfer instructions will be given to Buyer’s transfer agent with
respect to shares of Buyer Common Stock issued to me in connection with the Merger and that there
will be placed on the certificates for such shares, or any substitutions therefor, a legend stating
in substance:
“The shares represented by this certificate were issued in connection with the merger of
Comm Bancorp, Inc. with and into F.N.B. Corporation, on
_____, 2010 in a transaction to
which Rule 145 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933 applies. The shares represented
by this certificate may be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of only in accordance
with the terms of a letter agreement between the registered holder hereof and F.N.B.
Corporation, a copy of which agreement is on file at the principal offices of F.N.B.
Corporation.
I understand that, unless transfer by me of the Buyer Common Stock issued to me as a result of
the Merger has been registered under the Securities Act or such transfer is made in conformity with
the provisions of Rule 145(d) under the Securities Act., each person to which any of such shares or
any interest in any of such shares is or may be transferred shall execute and deliver to FNB an
agreement to be bound by the terms of this letter. I also understand that, unless transfer by me
of the Buyer Common Stock issued to me as a result of the Merger has been registered under the
Securities Act or such transfer is made in conformity with the provisions of Rule 145(d) under the
Securities Act, Buyer reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to place the following legend on
the certificates issued to my transferee:
“The shares represented by this certificate were acquired from [SHAREHOLDER] who, in turn,
received such shares in connection with the merger of Comm Bancorp, Inc. with and into
F.N.B. Corporation on
_____, 2010 in a transaction to which Rule 145 under the Securities
Act of 1933 applies. The shares represented by this certificate may be sold, transferred or
otherwise disposed of only in accordance with the terms of a letter agreement between the
registered holder hereof and F.N.B. Corporation, a copy of which agreement is on file at the
principal offices of F.N.B. Corporation..”
It is understood and agreed that the legends set forth above shall be removed by
delivery of substitute certificates without such legends if I or my transferee shall
have delivered to Buyer (i) a copy of a “no action” letter from the staff of the SEC,
or an opinion of counsel in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, to
the effect that such legend is not required for purposes of the Securities Act, or
(ii) evidence or representations
satisfactory to Buyer that the Buyer Common Stock represented by such certificates is being or
has been sold in conformity with the provisions of Rule 145(d).

By acceptance hereof, Buyer agrees, for a period of one year after the Effective Time (as
defined in the Agreement) that, so long as it is obligated to file reports pursuant to Section 13
or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, it will use its reasonable best
efforts to timely file such reports so that the public information requirements of Rule 144(c)
promulgated under the Securities Act are satisfied and the resale provisions of Rule 145(d)(1) and
(2) are therefore available to me in the event I desire to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of
any Buyer Common Stock issued to me in the Merger.
I further understand and agree that the provisions of Rule 145 and this letter shall apply to
all shares of Buyer Common Stock that (i) my spouse, (ii) any relative of mine or my spouse
occupying my home, (iii) any trust or estate in which I, my spouse or any such relative
collectively owns at least a 10% beneficial interest or of which any of us serves as trustee,
executor or in any similar capacity and (iv) any corporation or other organization in which I, my
spouse or any such relative beneficially owns at least 10% of any class of equity securities or of
the equity interest, receives as a result of the Merger and I further represent, warrant and
covenant with and to Buyer that I will have, and will cause each of such persons to have, all
shares of CBI Common Stock owned, other than shares held through tax qualified retirement or
benefit plans, by me or such persons registered in my name or the name of such persons, as
applicable, prior to the effective date of the Merger and not in the name of any bank, broker or
dealer, nominee or clearing house. I and the “persons” listed in (i) through (iv) above own,
beneficially or of record, in the capacities indicated, the number of shares of CBI Common Stock
set forth on Appendix A attached hereto.
It is understood and agreed that this letter shall terminate and be of no further force and
effect if the Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms.
This letter and all claims arising hereunder or relating hereto, shall be governed and
construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without
giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. I hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any Pennsylvania state court or the United
States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, in any action or proceeding arising
out of or relating to this letter.
