The Corporation hereby appoints the Trustee to act as Security Registrar and Paying Agent for the Notes.
The Notes will be issuable and may be transferred only in minimum denominations of $1,000 or any amount in excess thereof that is an integral multiple of $1,000. The specified currency of the Notes shall be U.S. Dollars.

2.04 Global Note. The Notes shall be issued initially in the form of one or more fully registered global notes (each such global note, a “Global Note”) deposited with DTC or its designated custodian or such other Depositary as any officer of the Corporation may from time to time designate.

(b) The Notes will bear interest at the rate of 2.200% per annum from February 24, 2020 until the principal of the Notes has been paid in full or a sum sufficient to pay the principal of the Notes has been made available for payment.

Interest due on the Maturity Date (whether or not an Interest Payment Date) of any Notes will be paid to the Person to whom principal of such Notes is payable.

F.N.B. CORPORATION, a Pennsylvania corporation (herein called the “Corporation”, which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture referred to on the reverse hereof), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or its registered assigns, the principal sum of [ million United States dollars on February , 2023 and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon on February , 2023, or if such day is not a Business Day, the following Business Day. The Corporation further promises to pay interest on said principal sum from and including February , 2020, or from the most recent Interest Payment Date (as defined below) to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semiannually in arrears on February and August in each year (each an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing August , 2020 at the rate of % per annum, computed for any full semiannual period on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and computed for any partial semiannual period on the actual days elapsed during such period, until the principal hereof is due, and at the rate of % per annum on any overdue principal amounts, and, to the extent permitted by law, on any overdue interest.

[FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF THE NOTE]
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of senior debt securities of the Corporation designated as its “ % Senior Notes due 2023” (the “Notes”). The Notes, taken together, are initially limited in aggregate principal amount to U.S. $300,000,000 issued and are to be issued under an Indenture, dated as of February , 2020 (herein called the “Base Indenture”), between the Corporation and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee (the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Base Indenture), as amended and supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of February , 2020 between the Corporation and the Trustee (the “Supplemental Indenture”; the Base Indenture, as amended and supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Corporation, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of any authorized denominations as requested by the Holder surrendering the same upon surrender of the Note or Notes to be exchanged, at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. The Trustee upon such surrender by the Holder will issue the new Notes in the requested denominations.
[On or after , the Notes will be redeemable at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus in each case accrued interest to but excluding the date of redemption.
If the Corporation elects to redeem the Notes, the Corporation will provide notice by first class mail, postage prepaid, or electronic transmission, addressed to the holders of record (which, in the case of registered global Notes, will be DTC or its nominee or a nominee of Euroclear and Clearstream) of the Notes to be redeemed. Such mailing or transmission will be at least 10 days and not more than 60 days before the date fixed for redemption. Each notice of redemption will state:
• | the redemption date; |
• | the redemption price; |
• | if fewer than all the outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, the identification (and in the case of partial redemption, the principal amounts) of the particular Notes to be redeemed; |
• | “CUSIP” or “ISIN” number of the Notes to be redeemed; |
• | that on the redemption date the redemption price will become due and payable upon each note to be redeemed, and that interest thereon will cease to accrue on and after the date of redemption; and |
• | the place or places where the Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price. |
A-5
If any Notes are redeemed, the redemption price payable to the holder of any Notes called for redemption will be payable on the applicable redemption date against the surrender to the Corporation or its agent of any certificate(s) evidencing the Notes called for redemption. If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of, and any accrued interest on, the Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the redemption date is deposited with our paying agent on or before the redemption date and certain other conditions are satisfied, then on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes (or such portion thereof) called for redemption and such Notes will cease to be outstanding.]
The Notes are not be subject to repayment at the option of any Holder at any time prior to maturity and are not entitled to any sinking fund.
The Notes are unsecured and rank equally with all of the Corporation’s other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness.
The Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.
The Corporation may, without consent of the holders of the Notes, increase the principal amount of the Notes by issuing additional securities in the future on the same terms and conditions as the Notes, except for any difference in the issue price and interest accrued prior to the date of issuance of the additional securities, and with the same CUSIP number as the Notes. The Notes and any additional Notes issued by the Corporation would rank equally and ratably and would be treated as a single series for all purposes under the Indenture.
In any case where the due date for the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note at any Place of Payment, as the case may be, is not a Business Day, then payment of principal or interest need not be made on or by such date at such place but may be made on or by the next succeeding Business Day, with the same force and effect as if made on the date for such payment, and no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period after such date.
If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the principal of all the Notes, together with accrued interest to the date of declaration, may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Corporation and the rights of the Holders of the Notes under the Indenture at any time by the Corporation and the Trustee with the written consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, to waive compliance by the Corporation with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note or such other Note.

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Note shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to it and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 20 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by any Holder of this Note for the enforcement of any payment of principal of or interest on this Note or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Corporation may require payment of a sum sufficient to recover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
