AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER
AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER, dated as of June 15, 2011 (this “Agreement”), between F.N.B.
CORPORATION, a Florida corporation (“FNB”), and PARKVALE FINANCIAL CORPORATION, a
Pennsylvania
corporation (“PFC”).
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, the Boards of Directors of PFC 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 pursuant to which PFC 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”); and
WHEREAS, the parties desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and
agreements in connection with the Merger and also to prescribe certain conditions to the Merger.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual representations, warranties, covenants 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.
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) PFC 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 PFC shall cease.
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
- 1 -
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 Section 1929 of the PBCL and Section 607.1106 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 (i) directors of FNB immediately prior
to the Merger, and (ii) one (1) current member of PFC’s Board of Directors (the “PFC Designee”),
who shall be Xxxxxx X. XxXxxxxx, Xx. If Xx. XxXxxxxx does not become a director of the Surviving
Company because of death or disability, FNB agrees, after consultation with the members of the
Board of Directors of PFC, to cause a member of the PFC Board of Directors as of the date hereof
who is mutually agreeable to FNB and PFC to be elected or appointed to the Board of Directors of
the Surviving Company as the PFC Designee. 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 PFC Capital Stock.
(a) Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, each share of common stock, par value $1.00
per share, of PFC (“PFC Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective
Time, other than Treasury Shares (as defined in Section 1.4(c)) 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 “Common Stock Merger
Consideration”) 2.178 shares (the “Exchange Ratio”) of common stock, $0.01 par value, of FNB (“FNB
Common Stock”).
(b) In the event each issued and outstanding share of the Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual
Preferred Stock, Series A, par value $1.00 per share, stated liquidation amount $1,000 per share,
of PFC (the “PFC Series A Preferred Stock”) is not purchased or redeemed prior to or
contemporaneous with the Merger, then each share of the PFC Series A Preferred Stock issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any shares of PFC Series A
Preferred Stock to be cancelled in accordance with Section 1.4(c)) shall no longer be outstanding
and shall as of the Effective Time automatically be converted into and shall thereafter represent
the right to receive, subject to the other provisions of this Article 1, one share (the “Preferred
Stock Merger Consideration” and, together with the Common Stock Merger Consideration, the “Merger
Consideration”) of the FNB Preferred Stock to be designated, prior to the Closing Date, as Fixed
Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series D, stated liquidation amount $1,000 per share
(the “FNB Series D Preferred Stock”), and otherwise having rights, preferences, privileges and
voting powers such that the rights, preferences, privileges and voting powers of the PFC Series A
Preferred Stock are not adversely affected by such conversion and having rights, preferences and
privileges and voting powers, and limitations and restrictions that, taken as a whole, are not
materially less favorable than the
- 2 -
rights, preferences, privileges and voting powers, and limitations and restrictions of the PFC
Series A Preferred Stock immediately prior to such conversion, taken as a whole.
(c) At and after the Effective Time, each Treasury Share shall be cancelled and retired and no
shares of FNB Common Stock or other consideration shall be issued in exchange therefor. “Treasury
Shares” means shares of PFC Common Stock and any outstanding PFC Series A Preferred Stock
(together, the “PFC Capital Stock”) held by PFC or any of the PFC Subsidiaries (as defined in
Section 3.1(c)) or by FNB or any of its Subsidiaries, other than in a fiduciary, including
custodial or agency, capacity or as a result of debts previously contracted in good faith.
(d) At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of PFC shall be closed as to holders of
PFC Capital Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time and no transfer of PFC Capital Stock by
any such holder shall thereafter be made or recognized. If, after the Effective Time, certificates
representing PFC Capital 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
cancelled and exchanged for FNB Common Stock or FNB Series D Preferred Stock (together, the “FNB
Capital Stock”), as applicable, held in book entry representing the number of whole shares into
which the PFC Capital Stock represented by the Certificates was converted in the Merger, plus, if
applicable pursuant to Section 1.4(f), any payment for any fractional share of FNB Common Stock
without any interest thereon and any dividends or distributions to which the holder of such
Certificates is entitled pursuant to Section 2.2(b).
(e) Each holder of PFC 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”). Each PFC shareholder electing to
enroll in the DRSP Plan shall be issued FNB Common Stock held in book entry representing the number
of whole shares received in the Merger.
(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each holder of PFC 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 New York Stock Exchange, including
any successor exchange (“NYSE”), as reported by the NYSE for the twenty (20) consecutive trading
days ending on and including the fifth such trading day prior to the specified date rounded to the
nearest ten-thousandth.
- 3 -
1.5 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.
1.6 PFC Equity and Equity-Based Awards.
(a) PFC Stock Options. Effective as of the Effective Time, each then outstanding
option to purchase shares of PFC Common Stock (each a “PFC Stock Option”), pursuant to the
equity-based compensation plans identified in Section 3.11(a) of the PFC Disclosure Schedule (as
defined in Article 3 hereof) (the “PFC Stock Plans”) and the award agreements evidencing the grants
thereunder, granted to any current or former employee or director of PFC or any of the PFC
Subsidiaries (as defined in Section 3.1(c)) shall at the Effective Time cease to represent a right
to acquire shares of PFC Common Stock and shall be converted automatically into a fully vested and
exercisable option to acquire shares of FNB Common Stock on the terms hereinafter set forth. FNB
shall assume each such PFC Stock Option in accordance with the terms of the relevant PFC Stock Plan
and stock option or other agreement by which it is evidenced, except that from and after the
Effective Time: (i) FNB and the Compensation Committee of its Board of Directors, including, if
applicable, the entire Board of Directors of FNB, shall be substituted for PFC and the compensation
committee of the Board of Directors of PFC, including, if applicable, the entire Board of Directors
of PFC, administering such PFC Stock Plan, (ii) each PFC Stock Option assumed by FNB may be
exercised solely for shares of FNB Common Stock, (iii) the number of shares of FNB Common Stock
subject to such PFC Stock Option shall be equal to the number of shares of PFC Common Stock subject
to such PFC Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio,
provided that any fractional shares of FNB Common Stock resulting from such multiplication shall be
rounded down to the nearest share, and (iv) the exercise price per share of FNB Common Stock under
each such option shall be the amount (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to the per share
exercise price under each such PFC Stock Option prior to the Effective Time divided by the Exchange
Ratio. Notwithstanding clauses (iii) and (iv) of the preceding sentence, each PFC Stock Option
that is an “incentive stock option” shall be adjusted as required by Section 424 of the Code, and
regulations promulgated thereunder, so as not to constitute a modification, extension or renewal of
the option within the meaning of Section 424(h) of the Code. FNB and PFC agree to take all
reasonable and necessary steps to effect the provisions of this Section 1.6(a). As of the Effective
Time, FNB shall issue to each holder of each outstanding PFC Stock Option that has been assumed by
FNB (the “Assumed Stock Options”) a document evidencing the conversion and assumption of such PFC
Stock Option by FNB pursuant to this Section 1.6(a). Prior to the Effective Time, FNB shall
reserve for issuance the number of shares of FNB Common Stock necessary to satisfy FNB’s
obligations under this Section 1.6(a). As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, FNB shall
file and cause to become effective a registration statement or statements on Form S-8 or Form S-3
(or any successor or other applicable form) with respect to the shares of FNB Common Stock subject
to the Assumed Stock Options, and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement for
so long as any PFC Stock Options remain outstanding.
(b) Warrant. The Warrant issued on December 23, 2008 to the U.S. Department of the
Treasury (“Treasury Department”) in connection with the issuance of the PFC Series A Preferred
Stock (the “PFC Warrant”) shall, by virtue of the Merger and without
- 4 -
any action on the part of any Person, cease to be a warrant to purchase PFC Common Stock and
will be converted automatically into a warrant to purchase FNB Common Stock (the “FNB Warrant”) in
accordance with the terms of the PFC Warrant, and FNB will assume such warrant subject to its
terms; provided, however, that after the Effective Time:
(i) the number of shares of FNB Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of the FNB Warrant
will equal the product of (x) the number of shares of PFC Common Stock that were purchasable
pursuant to the PFC Warrant immediately before the Effective Time and (y) the Exchange
Ratio, rounded to the nearest one-hundredth (1/100th) of a share; and
(ii) the per share exercise price for the PFC Warrant will equal the quotient of (x) the per
share exercise price of the PFC Warrant in effect immediately before the Effective Time and
(y) the Exchange Ratio, rounded to the nearest one-tenth (1/10th) of a cent.
1.7 Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Company. The FNB 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

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 PFC 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 (“FNB Bank Board”) upon consummation of
the Bank Merger shall be the directors of FNB Bank immediately prior to the Bank Merger plus the
PFC Bank Designee (as defined in Section 6.14(b)).
1.11 Right to Revise Structure. FNB may at any time change the method of effecting
the combination contemplated by this Agreement if and to the extent it deems such a change to be
desirable; provided, however, that no such change shall (i) alter or change the amount or kind of
the Common Stock Merger Consideration (as defined in Section 1.4(a)) provided for in this
Agreement, (ii) adversely affect the Tax treatment of PFC’s shareholders as a result of receiving
the Merger Consideration or the Tax treatment of either party pursuant to this Agreement, or (iii)

to reflect the change.
ARTICLE 2
EXCHANGE OF SHARES
2.1 FNB to Make Merger Consideration Available. As promptly as practicable following
the Effective Time, FNB shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with Registrar and Transfer
Company (“Exchange Agent”), for the benefit of the holders of Certificates, for exchange in
accordance with this Article 2, (a) book entry shares representing the aggregate number of shares
of FNB Capital Stock issuable pursuant to this Agreement in exchange for shares of PFC Capital
Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger, (b) immediately available
funds equal to any dividends or distributions payable in accordance with Section 2.2(b), and (c)
cash in lieu of any fractional shares of FNB Common Stock to be issued pursuant to Section 1.4(f)
and paid pursuant to Section 1.4 in exchange for outstanding shares of PFC Capital Stock (such cash
and book entry shares for shares of FNB Capital Stock, collectively being referred to as the
“Exchange Fund”). The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any purpose other than to fund payments
due pursuant to Section 2.2 except as otherwise provided in this Agreement.
2.2 Exchange Shares.
(a) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, and in no event more than five business
days thereafter, the Exchange Agent shall mail to each holder of record of PFC Capital Stock a
letter of transmittal in customary form as prepared by FNB and reasonably acceptable to PFC which
shall specify, among other things, that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to
the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent and
instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the Merger
Consideration and any cash in lieu of fractional shares into which the shares of PFC Common Stock
represented by such Certificate or Certificates shall have been converted pursuant to this
Agreement and any dividends or distributions to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section
2.2(b). After the Effective Time of the Merger, each holder of a Certificate formerly representing
PFC Capital 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 book entry shares representing FNB Common Stock or FNB Series D Preferred
Stock, as applicable, into which the shares of PFC Capital Stock shall have been converted pursuant
to Section 1.4, as well as any cash in lieu of any fractional share of FNB Common Stock to which
such holder would otherwise be entitled and any dividends or distributions to which such holder is
entitled pursuant to Section 2.2(b). 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, (i) each Certificate representing PFC Common Stock shall be
deemed from and after the Effective Time of the Merger to evidence only the right to receive the
Common Stock Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of fractional shares into which the
- 6 -
shares of PFC Common Stock represented by such Certificate or Certificates shall have been
converted pursuant to this Agreement and any dividends or distributions to which such holder is
entitled pursuant to Section 2.2(b), and (ii) any Certificate representing PFC Series A Preferred
Stock shall be deemed from and after the Effective Time of the Merger to evidence only the right to
receive the Preferred Stock Merger Consideration and any dividends or distributions to which such
holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.2(b). FNB shall not be obligated to deliver the Merger
Consideration or any check representing cash in lieu of fractional shares and/or declared but
unpaid dividends to which any former holder of PFC Capital Stock is entitled as a result of the
Merger until such holder surrenders his Certificate or Certificates for exchange as provided in
Section 2.2. If any shares of FNB Capital Stock, or any check representing cash in lieu of
fractional shares 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 stamps 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. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, then upon the making of an
affidavit, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to FNB, of that fact by the Person claiming
such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by FNB or the Exchange Agent, the
posting by such Person of a bond in such amount as FNB and the Exchange Agent may determine is
reasonably necessary as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it, FNB or the
Surviving Company with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will deliver in exchange for
such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof
pursuant to this Agreement.
(b) Following surrender of any such Certificate, there shall be paid to the record holder of
the whole shares of FNB Capital Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, (i) at the
time of such surrender, the amount of any dividends or distributions with a record date prior to
the Effective Time that have been declared by PFC in respect of shares of PFC Capital Stock after
the date of this Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and which remain unpaid
at the Effective Time, (ii) 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(f) and the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective
Time of the Merger and which had become payable with respect to such whole shares of FNB Common
Stock prior to the time of surrender, and (iii) 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 Capital Stock. After the date of this Agreement, PFC shall coordinate with FNB the
declaration of any dividends in respect of PFC Capital Stock as provided in Sections 5.2(a) and
6.10.
(c) After the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of PFC
of the shares of PFC Capital Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time other than to settle transfers of PFC Capital Stock that occurred prior to the
Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to FNB for any reason,
they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Agreement. All shares of FNB Capital
Stock and cash in lieu of fractional shares of FNB Common Stock and/or declared but unpaid
dividends issued upon the surrender for exchange of shares of PFC Capital Stock or the
- 7 -
provision of customary affidavits and indemnification for lost or mutilated Certificates in
accordance with the terms hereof and the letter of transmittal, shall be deemed to have been issued
in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of PFC Capital Stock.
(d) Any portion of the Exchange Fund, including any interest thereon, that remains
undistributed to the shareholders of PFC following the passage of twelve (12) months after the
Effective Time of the Merger shall be delivered to FNB, upon demand, and any shareholders of PFC
who have not theretofore complied with this Section 2.2 shall thereafter look only to FNB for
payment of their claim for FNB Capital Stock, any cash in lieu of fractional shares of FNB Common
Stock and any unpaid dividends or distributions payable in accordance with Section 2.2(b).
(e) Neither PFC nor FNB shall be liable to any holder of shares of PFC Capital Stock or FNB
Capital Stock, as the case may be, for such shares, 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 Capital Stock 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 Capital 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 Capital Stock with a record
date prior to the Effective Time of the Merger, or subdivide, split up, reclassify or combine FNB
Capital Stock, or make a distribution other than a regular quarterly cash dividend, on FNB Capital
Stock in any security convertible into FNB Capital Stock, in each case with a record date prior to
the Effective Time of the Merger, or (b) the outstanding shares of FNB Capital 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 a business combination transaction with another bank holding company or financial services
company, then a proportionate adjustment or adjustments will be made to the Exchange Ratio and/or
the Preferred Stock 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, distributed or paid to holders of such class of FNB Capital Stock
generally.
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 PFC Capital 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
- 8 -
may be, such withheld amounts shall be paid to the appropriate Tax authority by the Exchange
Agent or FNB and shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the
holder of shares of PFC Capital Stock in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made by
the Exchange Agent or FNB, as the case may be.

thereto and all information incorporated therein by reference, the “PFC
- 13 -
Reports”), except as set forth in Section 3.6(a) of the PFC Disclosure Schedule. As of their
respective filing dates (and, in the case of registration statements and proxy statements, as of
the dates of effectiveness and the dates of mailing, respectively), except to the extent that any
PFC Report has been amended by a subsequently filed PFC Report prior to the date hereof, in which
case, as of the date of such amendment, (i) the PFC Reports complied in all material respects with
the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of
2002 (the “Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act”), as the case may be, and (ii) none of the PFC Reports contained any
untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading. None of PFC’s Subsidiaries is required to file periodic
reports with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto,

permitted by Form 10-Q of the SEC) applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved
(except as may be expressly indicated in the notes thereto) and fairly present in all material
respects the consolidated financial position of PFC and its Subsidiaries as of the dates thereof
and their respective consolidated results of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and
changes in cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to

mechanical or photographic process, whether computerized or not) that are under the exclusive
ownership and direct control of PFC or its Subsidiaries or accountants (including all means of
access thereto and therefrom), except for any non-exclusive ownership and non-direct control that

accounting controls described in the following sentence. PFC and its Subsidiaries have implemented
and maintain a system of internal accounting controls effective to provide reasonable assurances
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in
accordance with GAAP. PFC (i) has implemented and maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as

Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of PFC by others within those entities to allow
timely decisions regarding required disclosure and to make the certifications required by the
Exchange Act with respect to the PFC Reports and (ii) has disclosed, based on its most recent
evaluation prior to the date of this Agreement, to PFC’s outside auditors and the audit committee
of the board of directors of PFC
- 14 -

internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that
would be reasonably likely to adversely affect PFC’s ability to accurately record, process,
summarize and report financial information and (B) any fraud, whether or not material, that
involves management or other employees who have a significant role in PFC’s internal controls over
financial reporting.

Subsidiaries has received or otherwise had or obtained knowledge of any material complaint,
allegation, assertion or claim, whether written or oral, regarding the accounting or auditing
practices, procedures, methodologies or methods of PFC or any of its Subsidiaries or their
respective internal accounting controls, including any material complaint, allegation, assertion or
claim that PFC or any of its Subsidiaries has engaged in questionable accounting or auditing
practices, and (B) no attorney representing PFC or any of its Subsidiaries, whether or not employed
by PFC or any of its Subsidiaries, has reported evidence of a material violation of securities
laws, breach of fiduciary duty or similar violation by PFC or any of its officers, directors,

Subsidiaries to repurchase such loan or other asset or the buyer to pursue any other form of
recourse against PFC or the PFC Subsidiaries. Except as set forth in Section 3.6(f) of the PFC

Effect on PFC.
3.10 Taxes and Tax Returns.
(a) Each of PFC and the PFC Subsidiaries has duly and timely filed, including all applicable

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 PFC’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 PFC and the PFC
Subsidiaries. Neither PFC nor any of the PFC 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 PFC Disclosure Schedule, there are no disputes, audits,
examinations or proceedings in progress or pending, including any notice received of any intent to
conduct an audit or examination, or claims asserted, for Taxes upon PFC or any of the PFC
Subsidiaries. No claim has been made by a Governmental Entity in a jurisdiction where PFC or any
of the PFC Subsidiaries have not filed Tax Returns such that PFC or any of the PFC 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, PFC
or any of the PFC Subsidiaries have been fully paid. No issue has been raised by a Governmental
Entity in any prior examination or audit of each of PFC and the PFC 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 PFC or any of the PFC Subsidiaries. Neither PFC nor any of the PFC 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 PFC and the PFC
Subsidiaries. Neither PFC nor any of the PFC 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 PFC, or (B) has any liability for the Taxes of any Person, other than PFC or any of the
PFC Subsidiaries, under Treas. Reg. §1.1502-6, or any
- 16 -
similar provision of state, local or foreign law, or as a transferee or successor, by contract
or otherwise. Neither PFC nor any of the PFC 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, 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 3.10(a) of the PFC Disclosure Schedule, no share of PFC Common Stock is owned by a
Subsidiary of PFC. PFC 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 PFC nor any of the PFC Subsidiaries or 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 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 PFC nor any of the PFC 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 PFC and the PFC
Subsidiaries relating to the taxable periods beginning January 1, 2008 or later and (ii) any audit
report issued within the last three years relating to any Taxes due from or with respect to PFC or
the PFC Subsidiaries. Neither PFC, any of the PFC Subsidiaries nor FNB, as a successor to PFC,
will be required to include any item of material income in, or exclude any material item of
deduction from, taxable income for any taxable period or portion thereof ending after the Closing

contingent liability or obligation to provide compensation and/or benefits in consideration for
past, present or future services.
- 18 -
“PFC Plan” means any PFC Benefit Plan other than a Multiemployer Plan.

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

to insurance policies funding any PFC Plan, for any period through the date 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

compliance, in all material respects, with all provisions of ERISA, the Code and all laws and
regulations applicable to such PFC Plans. Each PFC 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 PFC Plan or the imposition of any material lien on the assets of PFC or any of the PFC
Subsidiaries under ERISA or the Code. Section 3.11(d) of the PFC Disclosure Schedule identifies
each PFC Plan that is intended to be a “qualified plan” within the meaning of Section 401(a) of the
Code (the “PFC Qualified Plans”). The IRS has issued a favorable determination letter with respect
to each PFC Qualified Plan and the related trust which has not been revoked, or PFC is entitled to
rely on a favorable opinion issued by the IRS, and, to the knowledge of PFC, there are no existing
circumstances and no events have occurred that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the
qualified status of any PFC Qualified Plan or the related trust. No trust funding any PFC Plan is
intended to meet the requirements of Code Section 501(c)(9). None of PFC and the PFC 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
- 19 -
subject any of the PFC Plans or their related trusts, PFC, any of the PFC Subsidiaries or any
person that PFC or any of PFC 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) Except as set forth in Section 3.11(e) of the PFC Disclosure Schedule with respect to each
PFC 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 PFC Plan equals or exceeds the actuarial present value of all accrued benefits under
such PFC Plan, whether or not vested, on a termination basis, (B) no reportable event within the
meaning of Section 4043(c) of ERISA for which the 30-day notice requirement has not been waived has
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 PFC or any of PFC Subsidiaries and
(E) the PBGC has not instituted proceedings to terminate any such PFC Plan and, to PFC’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 PFC Plan.
(f) (i) No PFC 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 PFC and the PFC 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 PFC and the PFC 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 PFC or any of the PFC Subsidiaries
following the Effective Time, other than such liabilities that arise solely out of, or relate
solely to, the PFC Benefit Plans. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither PFC
nor any of the PFC Subsidiaries, nor, to PFC’s knowledge, any of their respective ERISA Affiliates,
has engaged in any transaction described in Sections 4069, 4204 or 4212 of ERISA.
(g) Except as set forth in Section 3.11(g) of the PFC Disclosure Schedule, PFC and the PFC
Subsidiaries have no liability for life, 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 PFC and the PFC Subsidiaries.
(h) Except as set forth in Section 3.11(h) of the PFC Disclosure Schedule, neither the
execution nor the delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the 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 PFC or any of PFC
Subsidiaries, (ii) increase the amount or value of any benefit or compensation
- 20 -
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 including deferred 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 additional tax under Section 409A of the Code.
(i) No labor organization or group of employees of PFC or any of PFC 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 PFC’s
knowledge, threatened to be brought or filed, with the National Labor Relations Board. Each of PFC

safety and health.

(b) A true and complete copy of each agreement pursuant to which PFC or any of PFC
Subsidiaries leases any real property (such agreements, together with any amendments, modifications
and other supplements thereto, collectively, the “Leases”), has heretofore been made available to

constitute such a default or which individually or in the aggregate would have a Material Adverse
Effect on PFC.

Federal Home Loan Banks or held in any fiduciary or agency capacity, free and clear of any Liens,

obligations of PFC or the PFC Subsidiaries, and (b) such securities are valued on the books of PFC
in accordance with GAAP in all material respects.
3.23 Intellectual Property. PFC and each of the PFC Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed
to use, in each case, free and clear of any Liens, all Intellectual Property used in the conduct of

and with all applicable requirements of Laws.
(c) None of the agreements, if any, pursuant to which PFC or PFC Bank has sold Loans or pools

that its reserves are inadequate or that the practices and policies of PFC in establishing its
reserves for the year ended June 30, 2010 and the nine months ended March 31, 2011, and in
accounting for delinquent and classified assets generally fail to comply with applicable accounting
or regulatory requirements, or that any Regulatory Agency having jurisdiction or PFC’s independent
auditor believes such reserves to be inadequate or inconsistent with the historical loss experience
of PFC.

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 FNB

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

portions of periods described in Treasury Regulations under Section 1502 of the Code, or any

thereof, ending on or before the Closing Date.
4.11 Employee Benefits. For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall
have the following meaning:
“FNB Benefit Plans” means any employee benefit plan, program, policy, practice or other
arrangement providing benefits to any current or former employee, officer or director of FNB or any
of its Subsidiaries or any beneficiary or dependent thereof that is sponsored or maintained by FNB
or any of its Subsidiaries or to which FNB or any of its Subsidiaries contributes or is obligated
to contribute, whether or not written, including without limitation any employee welfare benefit
plan within the meaning of Section 3(1) of ERISA, any employee
- 32 -
pension benefit plan within the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA, whether or not such plan is
subject to ERISA, and any bonus, incentive, deferred compensation, vacation, stock purchase, stock
option, equity compensation, severance, employment, change of control or fringe benefit plan,
program or policy.
“FNB Employment Agreement” means a contract, offer letter or agreement of FNB or any of its
Subsidiaries with or addressed to any individual who is rendering or has rendered services thereto
as an employee pursuant to which FNB or any of its Subsidiaries has any actual or contingent
liability or obligation to provide compensation and/or benefits in consideration for past, present
or future services.
“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 FNB Benefit
Plans and all FNB Employment Agreements.
(b) With respect to each FNB Plan, FNB has delivered or made available to PFC 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 two most recent Annual Reports (Form 5500
Series) and accompanying schedules, 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
ERISA), (iv) the most recent annual financial report, if any, (v) the most recent actuarial report,
if any, and (vi) the most recent determination letter from the IRS, if any. FNB has delivered or
made available to PFC a true, correct and complete copy of each FNB Employment Agreement.
(c) All contributions required to be made to any FNB Plan by applicable law or regulation or
by any plan document or other contractual undertaking, and all premiums due or payable with respect
to insurance policies funding any FNB Plan, for any period through the date 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 FNB Benefit Plan that is an employee welfare benefit plan under Section
3(1) of ERISA either (i) is funded through an insurance company contract and is not a “welfare
benefit fund” within the meaning of Section 419 of the Code or (ii) is unfunded, as noted in
Section 4.11(c) of the FNB Disclosure Schedule.
(d) With respect to each FNB Plan, FNB and its Subsidiaries have complied, and are now in
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 FNB
Qualified Plan and the related trust
- 33 -
which 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 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 defined in Section
4975 of the Code or Section 406 of ERISA, which would reasonably be expected to 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)
except as would not have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect: (A) the
fair market value of the assets of such FNB Plan equals or exceeds the actuarial present value of
all accrued benefits under such FNB Plan, whether or not vested, on a termination basis, (B) no
reportable event within the meaning of Section 4043(c) of ERISA for which the 30-day notice
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 Sections 4069, 4204 or 4212 of ERISA.
(g) Other than a medical retirement plan, FNB and its Subsidiaries have no liability for life,
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 -
(h) Neither the execution nor the delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the
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,
including deferred 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
additional tax under 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.
4.12 Compliance with Applicable Law. FNB and each of its Subsidiaries are not in
default in any material respect under any applicable law, statute, order, rule, regulation, policy
or guideline of any Governmental Entity applicable to FNB or any of its Subsidiaries, including the
Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Housing Act, the Community Reinvestment Act, the Home
Mortgage Disclosure Act, the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools
Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorist (USA Patriot) Act of 2001, the Bank Secrecy Act, the
Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and applicable limits on loans to one
borrower, except where such noncompliance or default is not reasonably likely to, either
individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect on FNB. FNB and each of the FNB
Subsidiaries has been and is in compliance in all material respects with (i) the applicable
provisions of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act and (ii) the applicable listing and corporate governance rules
and regulations of the NYSE.
4.13 Contracts. Except for matters that have not had and would not reasonably be
likely to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on FNB, (i) none of FNB
nor any of its Subsidiaries is, with or without the lapse of time or the giving of notice, or both,
in breach or default in any material respect under any material contract, lease, license or other
agreement or instrument, (ii) to the knowledge of FNB, none of the other parties to any such
material contract, lease, license or other agreement or instrument is, with or without the lapse of
time or the giving of notice, or both, in breach or default in any material respect thereunder and
(iii) neither FNB nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any written notice of the intention of
any party to terminate or cancel any such material contract, lease, license or other agreement or
instrument whether as a termination or cancellation for convenience or for default of FNB or any of
its Subsidiaries.
- 35 -
4.14 Agreements with Regulatory Agencies. Neither FNB nor any of its Subsidiaries is
subject to any cease-and-desist or other order or enforcement action issued by, or is a party to
any written agreement, consent agreement or memorandum of understanding with, or is a party to any
commitment letter or similar undertaking to, or is subject to any order, or has been since January
1, 2009, a recipient of any supervisory letter from, or has been ordered to pay any civil money
penalty by, or since January 1, 2009, has adopted any policies, procedures or board resolutions at
the request or suggestion of any Regulatory Agency or other Governmental Entity that currently
restricts in any material respect the conduct of its business or that in any material manner
relates to its capital adequacy, its ability to pay dividends, its credit or risk management
policies, its management or its business, other than those of general application that apply to
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, 2009 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.
4.15 Undisclosed Liabilities. Neither FNB nor any of its Subsidiaries has, and since
December 31, 2010, neither FNB nor any of its Subsidiaries has incurred, any liabilities or
obligations, whether accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise, known or unknown, whether due or
to become due, except (i) those liabilities fully accrued or reserved against in the unaudited
consolidated balance sheet of FNB and its Subsidiaries as of March 31, 2011 included in the FNB
Reports, (ii) for liabilities and obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business
consistent with past practice since Xxxxx 00, 0000, (xxx) for liabilities and obligations that are
not material to FNB and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and (iv) for any liabilities incurred
with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
4.16 Environmental Liability.
(a) To FNB’s knowledge, (i) FNB and its Subsidiaries are in material compliance with
applicable Environmental Laws, (ii) no Contamination exceeding applicable cleanup standards or
remediation thresholds exists at real property, including buildings or other structures, currently
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, (iii) no Contamination exists at any
real property currently owned by a third party that reasonably could result in a material
Environmental Liability for FNB or its Subsidiaries, (iv) neither FNB nor any of its Subsidiaries
has received any written notice, demand letter, claim or request for information alleging any
material violation of, or liability under, any Environmental Law, (v) neither FNB nor any of its

- 36 -
(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.
4.17 Reorganization. As of the date of this Agreement, FNB is not aware of any fact
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.
4.18 Loans; Nonperforming and Classified Assets.
(a) Except as set forth in Section 4.18 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 the Contract evidencing
such Loan, 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.

delinquent in payment of principal or interest, or to FNB’s knowledge, in default of any other

serves as a trustee, agent, custodian, personal representative, guardian, conservator or investment

regulations. To FNB’s knowledge, neither FNB nor any of its Subsidiaries, nor any of their

any fiduciary account, and the records for each such fiduciary account are true and correct and
accurately reflect the assets of such fiduciary account.

ARTICLE 6
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 PFC constituting a part thereof
and all related documents. PFC 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 PFC 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. PFC 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 PFC 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 PFC 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, PFC shall promptly mail at its expense the Proxy Statement to
its shareholders.
(b) Each of PFC 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
- 44 -
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 PFC 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 PFC
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 PFC and/or FNB.
(c) FNB agrees to advise PFC, 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 an 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. FNB agrees
that it will file all appropriate applications or notices with each Regulatory Agency or
Governmental Entity having jurisdiction over the transactions contemplated by this Agreement within
60 days following the date hereof. PFC 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 PFC 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 contemplated by this Agreement. 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
- 45 -
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, including the Surviving Company after giving effect to the Merger,
after the Effective Time (a “Materially Burdensome Regulatory Condition”). In addition, PFC 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 PFC and FNB following consummation of
the Merger.
(e) Each of FNB and PFC 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, PFC or
any of their respective Subsidiaries to any Regulatory Agency or Governmental Entity in connection
with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, without
limitation, any pro forma financial information to be included in the Registration Statement on
Form S-4).
(f) Each of FNB and PFC shall promptly provide each other with any written communications
received from any Regulatory Agency or Governmental Entity with respect to the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and will promptly advise the other upon receiving any oral
communication with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement 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) PFC 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 PFC and FNB shall be permitted to respond to appropriate questions
about the Merger from the press. PFC 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 PFC and FNB shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, afford to the
officers, employees, accountants, counsel and other representatives of the other,
- 46 -
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.
PFC 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 PFC nor FNB nor any of their Subsidiaries shall be
required to provide access to or to disclose information where such access or disclosure would
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 PFC 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 PFC Shareholder Approval. PFC 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 “PFC 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 and taking into account
the timing of its annual meeting of shareholders. Subject to Section 6.11, the Board of Directors
of PFC shall recommend approval and adoption of this Agreement, the Merger and the other
transactions this Agreement contemplates, by PFC’s shareholders and shall include such
recommendation in the Proxy Statement (the “PFC Recommendation”). Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, PFC’s obligations pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 6.3 shall not be
affected by the commencement, public proposal, public disclosure or communication to PFC of any
Acquisition Proposal, as defined in Section 6.11(e). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this
Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1, PFC’s obligations pursuant to the first sentence
of this Section 6.3 shall terminate.
6.4 Commercially Reasonable Efforts; Cooperation. Each of PFC and FNB agrees to
exercise good faith and use its commercially reasonable best efforts to satisfy the various
covenants and conditions to Closing in this Agreement, and to consummate the transactions this
Agreement contemplates as promptly as possible.
6.5 NYSE Approval. FNB shall cause the shares of FNB Common Stock to be issued in
the Merger to be approved for listing on the NYSE, subject to official notice of issuance, prior to
the Effective Time.
- 47 -
6.6 Benefit Plans.
(a) Following the Effective Time, FNB shall take all reasonable action so that employees
of PFC and the PFC Subsidiaries shall be entitled to participate, effective as soon as
administratively practicable following the Effective Time, in each employee benefit plan, program
or arrangement of FNB of general applicability with the exception of FNB’s defined benefit pension
plan and any other plans frozen to new participants (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 PFC and the PFC 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 PFC and the PFC 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 PFC under any discretionary
equity compensation plan of FNB. FNB shall cause each FNB Plan in which employees of PFC and the
PFC Subsidiaries are eligible to participate to recognize, for purposes of determining eligibility
to participate in, the vesting of benefits under the FNB Plans and the entitlement to benefits
under the FNB Plans (including, but not limited to, severance benefit and vacation plans), the
service of such employees with PFC and the PFC Subsidiaries (or predecessor companies) to the same
extent as such service was credited for such purpose by PFC or the PFC Subsidiaries, 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 PFC and
the PFC Subsidiaries that correspond to FNB Plans until employees of PFC and the PFC Subsidiaries
are included in such FNB Plans, nothing in this Agreement shall limit the ability of FNB to amend
or terminate any of PFC’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, to the extent required by any individual agreement, assume, 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 PFC and the PFC
Subsidiaries and current and former directors of PFC and the PFC 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 PFC that are set forth in Section 6.6(b) of the PFC Disclosure
Schedule. The severance or termination payments that are payable pursuant to any such severance
agreements, plans or policies of PFC are described in Section 6.6(b) of the PFC 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 PFC or its Subsidiaries whose
employment is terminated by FNB for reasons other than cause, severance as set forth in Section
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 PFC and the PFC Subsidiaries become eligible to
participate in a medical, dental or health plan of FNB or its Subsidiaries, to the extent
reasonably practicable and available from its insurers, cause each such plan to (i) waive any
- 48 -
preexisting condition limitations to the extent such conditions are covered under the
applicable medical, health or dental plans of PFC and its Subsidiaries, (ii) honor under such plans
any deductibles, co-payments and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the employees of PFC and its
Subsidiaries and their beneficiaries during the portion of the plan year prior to such
participation, and (iii) 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) PFC shall permit the PFC Employee Stock Ownership Plan as amended and restated
effective as of January 1, 2008 (the “ESOP”) to terminate in accordance with its terms effective as
of the occurrence of a “change in control” as defined in Section 7.4(e) of the ESOP (the “ESOP CIC
Date”) and the accounts of all participants and beneficiaries in the ESOP as of the ESOP CIC Date
to become fully vested as of the ESOP CIC Date. All shares of PFC Common Stock held in the ESOP
shall be converted into the Common Stock Merger Consideration. As soon as practicable after the
date hereof, PFC shall, after consultation with FNB, file or cause to be filed all necessary
documents with the IRS for a determination letter that the termination of the ESOP as of the ESOP
CIC Date will not adversely affect the ESOP’s qualified status, with a copy to be provided to FNB
and its counsel. Prior to the Effective Time, PFC and, following the Effective Time, FNB shall use
their respective reasonable best efforts to obtain such favorable determination letter (including,
but not limited to, adopting such amendments to the ESOP as may be requested by the IRS as a
condition to its issuance of a favorable determination letter). As soon as practicable following
the later of the Effective Time or the receipt of a favorable determination letter from the IRS
regarding the qualified status of the ESOP upon its termination, the account balances in the ESOP
shall be either distributed to participants and beneficiaries or transferred to an eligible
tax-qualified retirement plan or individual retirement account as a participant or beneficiary may
direct, except that ESOP participants whose employment is terminated by FNB may elect to receive
their ESOP account balance prior to the receipt of the IRS determination letter but following their
termination of employment. FNB agrees to permit ESOP participants who become employees of FNB and
its Subsidiaries to roll over their account balances in the ESOP to the FNB 401(k) Plan.
(e) Immediately prior to the Effective Time, PFC shall, at the written request of FNB,
freeze or terminate such of the PFC Benefit Plans as is requested by FNB, provided that such
request is received from FNB in a timely manner.
(f) In order to assist with a smooth transition of the operations of PFC and its
Subsidiaries and the transactions which this Agreement contemplates, FNB or one of its Subsidiaries
agree to offer employment to certain officers and employees of PFC and its Subsidiaries as
employees of FNB and its Subsidiaries following the Effective Time upon the terms and subject to
the conditions set forth in Section 6.6(f) of the FNB Disclosure Schedule.
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
- 49 -
any time prior to the date of this Agreement, or who becomes prior to the Effective Time, a
director or officer of PFC or any of PFC Subsidiaries or who is or was serving at the request of
PFC or any of PFC 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 PFC or any of PFC Subsidiaries or was serving at the request of PFC or any
of PFC 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
PFC Articles, the PFC Bylaws as in effect on the date hereof and any agreement set forth in Section
6.7 of the PFC 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 PFC Articles or the PFC 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 determination required to be made with respect to
whether an Indemnified Person’s conduct complies with the standards set forth under the PBCL, the
PFC Articles or the PFC 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
PFC or its Subsidiaries, including pursuant to the respective organizational documents of PFC, or
their respective Subsidiaries, under the PBCL or otherwise.
(c) Prior to the Effective Time, FNB shall obtain at the expense of PFC, 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 PFC’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 PFC or single premium tail coverage with policy
limits equal to PFC’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 PFC 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
- 50 -
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 PFC’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 PFC, 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 PFC 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.
6.10 Dividends. PFC may pay regular quarterly cash dividends on the PFC Common Stock
at a rate not in excess of the regular quarterly cash dividend ($0.02 per share) declared prior to
the date of this Agreement on the PFC Common Stock, provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of this Section 6.10, after the date of this Agreement PFC shall coordinate the
declarations of any dividends in respect of the PFC Common Stock and the record dates and payment
dates relating thereto with FNB’s declaration of regular quarterly dividends on the FNB Common
Stock and the record dates and payment dates relating thereto, it being the intention of PFC and
FNB that holders of PFC Common Stock shall not receive two dividends, or fail to receive one
dividend, in any quarter with respect to their shares of PFC Common Stock and any shares of FNB
Common Stock such holders receive in exchange therefor in the Merger.
- 51 -
6.11 Certain Actions.
(a) From the date of this Agreement through the Effective Time, except as otherwise
permitted by this Section 6.11, PFC will not, and will not authorize or permit any of its
directors, officers, agents, employees, investment bankers, attorneys, accountants, advisors,
agents, affiliates or representatives (collectively, “PFC Representatives”) to, directly or
indirectly, (i) initiate, solicit, encourage or take any action to facilitate, including by way of
furnishing information, any Acquisition Proposal, as defined in Section 6.11(e)(i), or any
inquiries with respect to or the making of any Acquisition Proposal, (ii) enter into or participate
in any discussions or negotiations with, furnish any information relating to PFC or any of the PFC
Subsidiaries or afford access to the business, properties, assets, books or records of PFC or any
of the PFC Subsidiaries, to otherwise cooperate in any way with, or knowingly assist, participate
in, facilitate or encourage any effort by any third party that is seeking to make, or has made, an
Acquisition Proposal or (iii) except in accordance with Section 8.1(g), approve, endorse or
recommend or enter into any letter of intent or similar document or any contract, agreement or
commitment contemplating or otherwise relating to an Acquisition Proposal.
(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, PFC and its Board of
Directors shall be permitted (i) to comply with Rule 14d-9 and Rule 14e-2 promulgated under the
Exchange Act with regard to an Acquisition Proposal provided that the Board of Directors of PFC
shall not withdraw or modify in a manner adverse to FNB the PFC Recommendation except as set forth
in subsection (iii) below, (ii) to engage in any discussions or negotiations with, and provide any
information to, any third party in response to a Superior Proposal, as defined in Section
6.11(e)(ii), by any such third party, if and only to the extent that (x) PFC’s Board of Directors
concludes in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that failure to do so could
reasonably be expected to breach its fiduciary duties under applicable law, (y) prior to providing
any information or data to any third party in connection with a Superior Proposal by any such third
party, PFC’s Board of Directors receives from such third party an executed confidentiality
agreement, which confidentiality terms shall be no less favorable to PFC than those contained in
the Confidentiality Agreements between PFC and FNB, a copy of which executed confidentiality
agreement shall have been provided to FNB for informational purposes and (z) at least 48 hours
prior to providing any information or data to any third party or entering into discussions or
negotiations with any third party, PFC promptly notifies FNB in writing of the name of such third
party and the material terms and conditions of any such Superior Proposal and (iii) to withdraw,
modify, qualify in a manner adverse to FNB, condition or refuse to make the PFC Recommendation (the
“Change in PFC Recommendation”) if PFC’s Board of Directors concludes in good faith, after
consultation with outside counsel and financial advisors, that failure to do so could reasonably be
expected to breach its fiduciary duties under applicable law. Notwithstanding any Change of PFC
Recommendation, this Agreement shall be submitted to the shareholders of PFC at the PFC
Shareholders’ Meeting for the purpose of voting on the approval of this Agreement and nothing
contained herein shall be deemed to relieve PFC of such obligation; provided,
however, that if the Board of Directors of PFC shall have effected a Change of PFC
Recommendation, then the Board of Directors of PFC may submit this Agreement to PFC’s shareholders
without recommendation (although the resolutions adopting this Agreement as of the date hereof may
not be rescinded), in which event the Board of Directors of PFC may communicate the basis for its
lack of a recommendation to
- 52 -
PFC’s shareholders in the Proxy Statement or an appropriate amendment or supplement thereto to
the extent required by applicable law. In addition to the foregoing, PFC shall not submit to the
vote of its shareholders any Acquisition Proposal other than the Merger prior to any termination of
this Agreement.

consistent with the performance of their day-to-day operations, the continuous operation of PFC and

debt instruments as the parties mutually agree in good faith.
6.16 Assumption of Certain PNC Indebtedness. PFC and FNB shall use their
reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done,
all things necessary, proper or advisable to obtain the written consent of PNC Bank, National

own cost and expense, to cause a “phase I environmental audit” to be performed at any physical
location owned or occupied by PFC or any PFC Subsidiary. FNB must commence a “phase I
environmental audit” within thirty (30) days of the date of this Agreement or FNB’s right to

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.

and be enforceable by each of the parties and their respective successors and assigns. Except as
otherwise specifically provided in Section 6.6, 6.7 and 6.14, this Agreement, including the

F.N.B. Corporation

Xxxxxxxxx, XX 00000
Ladies and Gentlemen:
F.N.B. Corporation (“FNB”) and Parkvale Financial Corporation (“PFC”) have entered into an
Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of June ___, 2011 (the “Agreement”) whereby PFC will merge
with and into FNB (the “Merger”) and shareholders of PFC will receive the Merger Consideration as
set forth in the Agreement, subject to the closing 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 will vote or cause to be voted for approval and adoption of the Agreement and the
transactions contemplated thereby all shares of PFC common stock over which I have sole voting
power, and will use my best efforts to cause any shares of PFC 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, as amended.
(b) On or prior to the record date (the “Record Date”) for the meeting of the PFC shareholders
to vote on approval and adoption of the Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, I (i)
will not offer, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any shares of PFC common stock over which I
have sole dispositive power, and (ii) shall use my best efforts to not permit the offer, sale,
transfer or other disposition of any shares of PFC 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.
(c) I have beneficial ownership over the number of shares of PFC common stock, and hold stock
options for the number of shares of PFC common stock, if any, set forth in Appendix A hereto.
(d) I agree that PFC shall not be bound by any attempted sale of any shares of PFC common
stock over which I have sole voting and dispositive power, and PFC’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.

_______________, 2011
(e) I agree that, if I exercise any options to purchase PFC common stock prior to the Record
Date, any of the shares of PFC common stock so acquired by me, except any shares sold as part of a
cashless exercise, shall be subject to clauses (a), (b) and (d) above.
(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) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, I may transfer any or all of the shares
of PFC 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 PFC 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 PFC and as an
optionholder if I am an optionholder, and not in any other capacity, such as a director or officer
of PFC or as a fiduciary of any trusts in which I am not a beneficiary. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary: (a) I make no agreement or understanding herein in any capacity other than
in my capacity as a beneficial owner of PFC common stock and (b) nothing herein shall be construed
to limit or affect any action or inaction by me or any of my representatives, as applicable, in
serving on PFC’s Board of Directors or as an officer of PFC, in acting in my capacity as a
director, officer or fiduciary of PFC or as fiduciary of any trust of which I am not a beneficiary.
This Letter Agreement shall be effective upon acceptance by FNB.
This Letter Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect concurrently with,
and automatically upon, the earlier to occur of (a) the consummation of the Merger, (b) the written
agreement of the parties to terminate this Letter Agreement, and (c) any termination of the
Agreement in accordance with its terms, except that any such termination shall be without prejudice
to FNB’s rights arising out of my willful breach of any covenant or representation contained
herein.
All notices and other communications in connection with this Letter Agreement shall be in
writing and shall be deemed given if delivered personally, sent via facsimile, with confirmation,
mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or delivered by an express
courier, with confirmation, to the parties at their addresses set forth on the signature page
hereto.
This Letter Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf
of each of the parties. This Letter Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and

supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties with

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.
