SCHEDULE 1

General Terms and Conditions of the

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT

This Agreement is between the Participant and F.N.B. and sets forth the terms and conditions of the grant of Restricted Stock Units to the Participant. The grant of the Restricted Stock Units was made by the Compensation Committee of the F.N.B. Board of Directors (the “Committee”) pursuant to the terms of the Plan, subject to the Agreement becoming effective on the Grant Date specified on the Agreement Cover Page (hereinafter the “Grant Date”).

The terms of the Plan are incorporated herein by reference, including the definitions of terms contained in the Plan. Any inconsistency between the Agreement and the terms and conditions of the Plan will be resolved in accordance with the Plan, in particular, Article 2 of the Plan which, in relevant part, provides the Committee with sole discretion to construe and interpret the Plan and Agreement. Unless otherwise specified herein or the context indicates differently, all references in this Agreement to “F.N.B.” shall mean F.N.B. or its Affiliates unless otherwise stated.

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Preamble and Recitals to this Agreement are incorporated into and made part of this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the Participant has accepted this Award of Restricted Stock Units and agrees to the terms and conditions stated below.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained and intending to be legally bound hereby, each of the parties covenants and agrees as follows:

Section 1. Purpose. The purpose of this Award is to align the Participant’s interest with that of F.N.B. stockholders by attaining an attractive TSR to F.N.B. stockholders over the Performance Period.

Section 2. Restricted Stock Unit Award. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the Plan, F.N.B. hereby grants to the Participant an Award of Restricted Stock Units, denominated in the Target Amount, which, along with dividend equivalent units that accrue pursuant to Section 6 hereof, shall become vested in an amount determined by the Vesting Table and be payable in shares of Stock, subject to application of Sections 3 and 4. These Restricted Stock Units are notional units of measurement denominated in shares of Stock (i.e., one Restricted Stock Unit is equivalent to one share of Stock). The Restricted Stock Units represent an unfunded, unsecured right to receive Stock (and dividend equivalent payments pursuant to Section 6 hereof) in the future if the conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan are satisfied.

Section 3. Vesting. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4, the Award shall vest on the Vesting Date, as that term is defined in Part III of the Agreement Cover Page, in the proportion determined pursuant to the Vesting Table contained in Part IV of the Agreement Cover Page

-2-

(hereinafter referred to as the “Vesting Table”), provided that both of the vesting requirements set forth in Section 3(a) and (b) (the “Vesting Requirements”) are satisfied. The amount of the Award that vests on the Vesting Date in accordance with Section 3 and 4 shall be the “Vested Amount.”

(a) Service Requirement. The Participant must remain continuously in Service¹ with F.N.B. from the Grant Date through the Vesting Date (the “Service Vesting Requirement”).

(b) Performance Requirement. F.N.B.’s TSR, as calculated in accordance with Schedule 2 attached hereto, for the Performance Period must be greater than or equal to the 25^th percentile of the Peer Financial Institutions’ TSR during the Performance Period (the “Performance Vesting Requirement”).

(i) Negative Amount. In the event the Vesting Requirements under Section 3(a) and (b) are satisfied and F.N.B.’s relative TSR amount as calculated pursuant to Schedule 2 is a negative amount for the Performance Period, the Participant’s Restricted Stock Units shall vest at no more than the Target Amount.

(ii) Payout Cap. In no event will the value of the shares of Stock delivered to the Participant on the Vesting Date exceed 3.5 times the value of the shares of Stock underlying the Target Amount of Restricted Stock Units awarded on the Grant Date, as shown in Table III of the Agreement Cover Page. In the event that the value of the shares of Stock to be delivered to the Participant on the Vesting Date otherwise would exceed 3.5 times the value of the shares of Stock underlying the Target Amount of Restricted Stock Units awarded on the Grant Date, the number of shares of Stock delivered to the Participant will be reduced to the number of whole shares of Stock such that the total value is equal to 3.5 times the value of the shares of Stock underlying the Target Amount of Restricted Stock Units awarded on the Grant Date.

(iii) Determinations Made at or Between Levels. For amounts between the Threshold Level and Target Level or between the Target Level and Maximum Level of the Vesting Table, straight line interpolation, rounded to the nearest whole share, will be used for TSR performance measure to determine the Vested Amount. The determination of the amount at Threshold, Target and Maximum Levels shall be subject to the calculations set forth in Schedule 1, rounded to the nearest whole Restricted Stock Unit.

¹  For purposes of this Agreement, “continuously in Service” means that the Participant’s employment service with F.N.B. or an Affiliate is not interrupted or terminated. The Participant’s continuous Service shall not be deemed to have terminated merely because of a change in the capacity in which the Participant renders service to F.N.B. or an Affiliate as an employee or a change in the Affiliate entity for which the Participant renders such service, provided that there is no interruption or termination of the Participant’s continuous Service; provided further that if any grant is subject to Section 409A of the Code, this footnote shall only be given effect to the extent consistent with Section 409A of the Code.

Section 4. Forfeiture; Termination of Service; and Accelerated Vesting of Restricted Stock Units. Upon the effective date of the termination of Participant’s Service before the Vesting Date, the Restricted Stock Units shall immediately be forfeited without consideration or future action being required of F.N.B. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to accelerated vesting upon the occurrence of events and subject to the terms described in the “Accelerated Vesting Table” below:

Accelerated Vesting Table

Accelerated Vesting Event		Vested Amount		Vesting Date
1. Death		100% of Target Amount		Vests immediately upon Participant’s death
2. Normal Retirement occurring in calendar year other than the year of the Grant Date (for Participant’s age 62 or older as of Grant Date)		100% of the portion determined to vest pursuant to the Vesting Table		Completion of the Performance Period (subject to acceleration upon 1 above and 6 below)
3. Normal Retirement occurring in same calendar year as the year of the Grant Date (for Participant’s age 62 or older as of Grant Date)		Pro-rated vestinga of the portion determined to vest pursuant to the Vesting Table		Completion of the Performance Period (subject to acceleration upon 1 above and 6 below)
4. Normal Retirement (for participants younger than age 62 as of the Grant Date) or Early Retirement		Pro-rated vestinga of the portion determined to vest pursuant to the Vesting Table		Completion of the Performance Period (subject to acceleration upon 1 above and 6 below)

6. Change in Controlb		100% of Target Amount		Vests immediately upon Change in Control event

^a  The pro rata amount shall be determined by multiplying the Vested Amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full months the Participant worked during the Performance Period before the occurrence of the Accelerated Vesting Event, and the denominator representing the total number of full months in the Performance Period.

^b  For purposes of this Agreement, the termination of the Participant’s Service from F.N.B. or Affiliate without “Cause” following execution of a definitive agreement contemplating a “Change in Control” of F.N.B., but prior to the consummation date of the Change in Control, shall immediately result in full vesting at the Target Amount.

(a) Restrictions on Transfer. The Restricted Stock Units may not be sold, assigned, transferred, encumbered, hypothecated or pledged by the Participant, other than to F.N.B. as a result of forfeiture of the Restricted Stock Units as provided herein and by beneficiary designation, will or by laws of descent and distribution upon the Participant’s death.

Any dividend paid, whether in cash or otherwise, on the shares of F.N.B. common stock between the Grant Date and the date the Vested Amount is to be paid to Participant in accordance with Section 7 herein, subject to the vesting requirements described herein, shall be converted into additional Restricted Stock Units and upon vesting, shall be distributed to Participant in accordance with Section 7 herein. Any Restricted Stock Units resulting from the conversion of these dividend amounts (“Dividend Units”) will be considered Restricted Stock Units for purposes of this Agreement and will be subject to all the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth herein. All Dividend Units shall be subject to the same vesting requirements applicable to the Restricted Stock Units in respect of which they were credited and shall be payable in accordance with Section 7 of this Agreement. Each Dividend Unit shall be rounded to the nearest whole Dividend Unit.

Section 7. Payment of Vested Restricted Stock Units/Enrollment of Stock in DRP. Within thirty (30) calendar days following the Vesting Date of the Restricted Stock Units and Dividend Units under Section 3 or Section 4 hereof, the Stock distributable as a result of such vesting of the Restricted Stock Units shall be enrolled (on a one-for-one basis) in the Participant’s name in the F.N.B. Dividend Reinvestment and Direct Stock Purchase Plan (“DRP”). In the event of an accelerated vesting under Section 4 of this Agreement, the calculation of each pro rata Restricted Stock Unit or Stock shall be rounded to the nearest whole Restricted Stock Unit or Stock, respectively. The Participant shall be entitled to exercise all rights to the unrestricted Stock resulting from the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units and Dividend Units, including the right to withdraw such Stock from the DRP, in accordance with the terms of the DRP. On the Vesting Date, F.N.B. shall withhold an appropriate amount from the unrestricted Stock to be distributed sufficient to satisfy all or a portion of such tax withholding requirements.

SCHEDULE 2

CALCULATION OF RELATIVE TOTAL SHAREHOLDER RETURN

• “Relative Total Shareholder Return” means F.N.B.’s TSR relative to the TSR of the Peer Financial Institutions. Relative Total Shareholder Return will be determined by ranking F.N.B. and the Peer Financial Institutions from highest to lowest according to their respective TSRs. After this ranking, the percentile performance of F.N.B. relative to the Peer Financial Institutions will be determined as follows:

P = 1 –		R – 1
		N – 1

where: “P” represents the percentile performance which will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest whole percentile by application of regular rounding.

“N” represents the remaining number of Peer Financial Institutions, plus F.N.B.

“R” represents Company’s ranking among the Peer Financial Institutions.

Example: If there are 12 remaining Peer Financial Institutions, and F.N.B. ranked 7^th, the performance would be at the 50^th percentile: .50 = 1 – ((7-1)/(13-1)).

• “TSR” means, for each of F.N.B. and the Peer Financial Institutions, total shareholder return, which will be calculated by dividing (i) (x) the Closing Average Share Value minus (y) the Opening Average Share Value by (ii) the Opening Average Share Value.

• “Opening Average Share Value” means the average, over the trading days in the Opening Average Period, of the closing price of a company’s stock multiplied by the Accumulated Shares for each trading day during the Opening Average Period.

• “Opening Average Period” means the 20 trading days immediately preceding the grant date.

• “Accumulated Shares” means, for a given trading day, the sum of (i) one (1) share and (ii) a cumulative number of shares of the company’s common stock purchased with dividends declared on a company’s common stock, assuming same day reinvestment of the dividends in the common stock of a company at the closing price on the ex-dividend date, for ex-dividend dates between the first day of the Opening Average Period and the trading day.

• “Closing Average Share Value” means the average, over the trading days in the Closing Average Period, of the closing price of the company’s stock multiplied by the Accumulated Shares for each trading day during the Closing Average Period.

• “Closing Average Period” means the 20 trading days immediately preceding and including the last day in the Performance Period.

SCHEDULE 3

PEER FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS

[INSERT LIST OF PEER FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS

BY NAME AND TRADING TICKER]

(a) In the event of a merger of a Peer Financial Institution with an entity that is not a Peer Financial Institution, or the acquisition or business combination transaction by or with a Peer Company, or with an entity that is not a Peer Financial Institution, in each case where the Peer Financial Institution is the surviving entity and remains publicly traded, the surviving entity shall remain a Peer Financial Institution.

(b) In the event of a merger or acquisition or business combination transaction of a Peer Financial Institution by or with an entity that is not a Peer Financial Institution, a “going private” transaction involving a Peer Financial Institution or the liquidation of a Peer Financial Institution, where the Peer Financial Institution is not the surviving entity or is otherwise no longer publicly traded, the company shall no longer be a Peer Financial Institution.

(c) In the event of a bankruptcy or insolvency of a Peer Financial Institution, such company shall remain a Peer Financial Institution and the lowest rank shall be assigned such Peer Financial Institution.
