All documents later filed by the Registrant under Sections 13(a),

Item 4. Description of Securities

Not applicable.

Not applicable.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

The California General Corporation Law provides for the indemnification of officers and directors who are made or are threatened to be made a party to any legal proceeding by reason of their service to the Company. The Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company permit indemnification of directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted by California law. The Company has in effect director and officer liability insurance policies indemnifying the Company and the officers, directors and certain assistant officers of the Company and officers and directors of the Company's subsidiaries within specific limits for certain liabilities incurred by reason of their being or having been directors or officers. The Company pays the entire premium for these policies.

Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed

Not applicable.

Item 8. Exhibits

See the Index to Exhibits, which is incorporated in this item by reference.

Item 9. Undertakings

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act");

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement;

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement. Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the

3

Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering.

(h) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 6, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

EXHIBIT 99.1

FNB BANCORP STOCK OPTION PLAN

(formerly, First National Bank of Northern California 1997 Stock Option Plan)

[effective March 15, 2002]

1. Purposes of the Plan. The purposes of the FNB Bancorp Stock Option Plan are to attract and retain the best available personnel for positions of substantial responsibility and to provide additional incentive to the key Officers and Directors of FNB Bancorp and its Affiliates (hereinafter collectively referred to as "FNB") by encouraging them to acquire a proprietary interest in FNB, and, in general, to promote the success of FNB's business.

Options granted hereunder to Officers may be either Incentive Stock Options or Nonstatutory Stock Options, at the discretion of the Committee and as reflected in the terms of the particular option agreements. Options granted hereunder to Nonemployee Directors may be Nonstatutory Stock Options only.

2. Definitions. As used herein, the following definitions shall apply:

(a) "Affiliates" shall mean any parent corporation or bank, or subsidiary corporation or bank, as defined in Sections 424(e) and (f), respectively, of the Code.

(b) "Board of Directors" shall mean the Board of Directors of FNB Bancorp, as constituted from time to time.

(c) "Code" shall mean the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

(d) "Committee" shall mean the Board of Directors and any committee(s) appointed by the Board of Directors in accordance with paragraphs
(a) and (b) of Section 4 of the Plan, except where otherwise expressly provided or where the context requires otherwise.

(e) "Common Stock" shall mean shares of FNB's Common Stock, no par value.

(f) "Director" shall mean a member of the Board of Directors.

(g) "FNB" shall mean FNB Bancorp and its Affiliates.


(h) "Incentive Stock Option" shall mean an Option intended to qualify as an incentive stock option within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code.

(i) "Nonemployee Director" shall mean a Director who is not also an employee of FNB, and who meets the definition of "nonemployee director" as stipulated in Rule 16b-3 of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SgEC"), promulgated under Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), as said Rule 16b-3 may be amended from time to time and as interpreted by the SEC ("Rule 16b-3").

(j) "Nonstatutory Stock Option" shall mean an Option not intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code.

(k) "Officer" shall mean any person employed by FNB or any Affiliate of FNB as an officer, including an employee of FNB who is also a Director. The payment of a director's fee by FNB or any of its Affiliates shall not alone be sufficient to constitute "employment" by FNB or any of its Affiliates.

(l) "Option" shall mean a stock option granted pursuant to the Plan.

(m) "Optioned Stock" shall mean the Common Stock subject to an Option.

(n) "Optionee" shall mean an Officer or Director who receives an Option.

(o) "Plan" shall mean the FNB Bancorp Stock Option Plan (successor to the First National Bank of Northern California 1997 Stock Option Plan).

(p) "Share" shall mean a share of Common Stock, as adjusted in accordance with Section 10 of the Plan.

3. Stock Subject to the Plan. Subject to the provisions of Section 10 of the Plan, the maximum aggregate number of Shares which may be optioned and sold under the Plan is 96,620 Shares (reflects the number of Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to options granted and outstanding under the First National Bank of Northern California 1997 Stock Option Plan as of March 15, 2002). If an Option should expire, terminate, or become unexercisable for any reason without having been exercised in full, the unpurchased Shares which were subject thereto shall, unless the Plan shall have been terminated, become available for future grant under the Plan. Any Shares which are withheld by FNB upon exercise of an Option at the direction of an Optionee or which are delivered by an Optionee to pay the exercise price of an Option, as permitted by Section 6(c), shall become available for future grant under the Plan to Officers who are not subject to
Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

4. Administration of the Plan. The following provisions shall govern the administration of the Plan:

2

(a) Subject to paragraph (b) below, the Plan shall be administered by the Board of Directors or by one or more committees of the Board of Directors duly appointed for this purpose by the Board of Directors. Once appointed, a committee shall administer the Plan on behalf of the Board of Directors, subject to such terms and conditions as the Board of Directors may prescribe and shall continue to serve until otherwise directed by the Board of Directors. Subject to the foregoing, from time to time the Board of Directors may increase the size of the committee and appoint new members to the committee, remove members of the committee, and fill vacancies however caused. The Board of Directors may designate a Chairman and Vice-Chairman of the committee from among the committee members. Acts of the committee (i) at a meeting, held at a time and place and in accordance with rules adopted by the committee, at which a quorum of the committee is present and acting, or (ii) reduced to and approved in writing by a majority of the members of the committee, shall be the valid acts of the committee.

(b) Discretionary grants of Options to Officers and Directors, including Nonemployee Directors, may be made by, and all discretion with respect to the material terms of such Options may be exercised by, either
(i) the Board of Directors or (ii) a duly appointed committee of the Board of Directors composed solely of three (3) or more Nonemployee Directors having full authority to act in the matter.

(c) FNB shall effect the grant of options under the Plan by execution of instruments in writing in a form approved by the Committee. Subject to the express terms and conditions of the Plan, and the terms of any Option outstanding under the Plan, the Committee shall have full power to construe the Plan and the terms of any Option granted under the Plan, to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan or such Options and to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the Plan's administration, including, without limitation, the power to (i) determine which persons meet the requirements of Section 5 hereof for selection as participants in the Plan and which persons are considered to be "employees" for purposes of the Code, and therefore eligible to receive Incentive Stock Options under the Plan; (ii) determine to whom of the eligible persons, if any, Options shall be granted under the Plan; (iii) establish the terms and conditions required or permitted to be included in every option agreement or any amendments thereto, including whether options to be granted thereunder shall be Incentive Stock Options, or Nonstatutory Stock Options; (iv) specify the number of Shares to be covered by each Option; (v) in the event a particular Option is to be an Incentive Stock Option, determine and incorporate such terms and provisions, as well as amendments thereto, as shall be required in the judgment of the Committee, so as to provide for or conform such Option to any change in any law, regulation, ruling or interpretation applicable thereto; (vi) determine the fair market value of Common Stock used by an Optionee to exercise Options pursuant to
Section 7(c) hereof; (vii) to accelerate or defer (with the consent of the Optionee) the exercise date of any Option, consistent with the provisions of
Section 6; (viii) to cancel Options outstanding under the Plan with the consent of the affected Optionee and to issue replacement Options therefor; provided however, that if the exercise price of such replacement Options is lower than the exercise price of the Options which were canceled in exchange therefor, then such replacement Options shall not become exercisable unless and until

3

shareholder approval of such replacement Options is obtained within twelve (12) months of the date of grant of such options, such shareholder approval to consist of the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares represented and voting at a duly held meeting at which a quorum is present (which shares voting affirmatively also constitute at least a majority of the required quorum) or in such other manner as may be required by law, (ix) to amend or modify any Option outstanding under the Plan with the consent of the affected Optionee; ___ and
(x) to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for administering the Plan.

The Committee's determination on the foregoing matters shall be conclusive.

5. Eligibility.

(a) Options may be granted to Officers and Directors and an Officer or Director who has been granted an Option may, if he or she is otherwise eligible, be granted an additional Option or Options. Officers shall be eligible for the grant of Incentive Stock Options and Nonstatutory Stock Options. Nonemployee Directors shall be eligible for the grant of Nonstatutory Stock Options only.

(b) No Incentive Stock Option may be granted to an Officer which, when aggregated with all other Incentive Stock Options granted to such Officer by FNB or any of its Affiliates, would result in Shares having an aggregate fair market value (determined for each Share as of the date of grant of the Option covering such Share) in excess of $100,000 becoming first available for purchase upon exercise of one or more Incentive Stock Options during any calendar year. Any excess amount which may be granted shall be treated as a Nonstatutory Stock Option to the extent of such excess.

(c) Section 5(b) of the Plan shall apply only to an Incentive Stock Option evidenced by an "Incentive Stock Option Agreement" which sets forth the intention of FNB and the Optionee that such Option shall qualify as an Incentive Stock Option. Section 5(b) of the Plan shall not apply to an Option evidenced by a "Nonstatutory Stock Option Agreement" which sets forth the intention of FNB and the Optionee that such Option shall be a Nonstatutory Stock Option.

(d) The Plan shall not confer upon any Officer Optionee any right with respect to continuation of employment with FNB nor any of its Affiliates, nor shall it interfere in any way with his or her right or the right of FNB or its Affiliates to terminate his or her employment at any time.

6. Term of Option. The term of each Option granted to an Officer or Director shall be up to ten (10) years from the date of grant thereof or such shorter term as may be determined by the Committee and as provided in the Option agreement. However, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an Optionee who, at the time the Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of FNB or any of its Affiliates, the term of the Option shall be five (5) years from the date of grant thereof or such shorter time as may be provided in the Option agreement.

4

7. Exercise Price and Consideration.

(a) The purchase price for the Shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option shall be determined by the Committee; provided, however, that the exercise price of a Nonstatutory Stock Option shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the fair market value of the Shares subject thereto on the date the Nonstatutory Stock Option is granted and the exercise price of an Incentive Stock Option shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the fair market value of the Shares on the date the Incentive Stock Option is granted; and further provided, however, that no Incentive Stock Option shall be granted to an Optionee who, at the time of the grant of such Option, owns securities representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of FNB or any of its Affiliates, at a per Share exercise price less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the fair market value per Share on the date of grant.

(b) For the purpose of determining the exercise price of an Option, fair market value per Share shall be determined by the Committee in the good faith exercise of its discretion in accordance with any reasonable valuation method, including the valuation methods described in Treasury Regulation Section 20.2031-2; provided, however, that where there is a public market for the Common Stock, the Committee shall consider, as evidence of fair market value, the mean of the bid and asked prices (or the closing price if listed on a stock exchange or the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation ("NASDAQ") National Market System) of the Common Stock for the date of grant, as reported in the Wall Street Journal (or, if not so reported, as otherwise reported by NASDAQ or the National Quotation Bureau). If such information is not available for the date of grant, then such information for the last preceding date for which such information is available shall be considered as evidence of fair market value.

(c) The consideration to be paid for the Shares to be issued upon exercise of an Option, including the method of payment, shall be determined by the Committee and may consist entirely of (i) cash, (ii) check (bank, cashier's or certified), (iii) other Shares of Common Stock (held for the requisite period necessary to avoid a charge to FNB's reported earnings) having a fair market value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which said Option shall be exercised, (iv) delivery of an election to FNB to withhold a sufficient number of Shares from the Shares otherwise due upon exercise of the Option having an aggregate fair market value on the date of exercise equal to the exercise price, (v) by any combination of such methods of payment, or (vi) any other consideration and method of payment for the issuance of Shares permitted under applicable law. In addition, full payment for the purchased Shares may be effected through a broker-dealer sale and remittance procedure pursuant to which the Optionee (i) shall provide irrevocable written instructions to a designated brokerage firm to effect the immediate sale of the purchased Shares and remit to FNB, out of the sale proceeds available on the settlement date, sufficient funds to cover the aggregate exercise price payable for the purchased Shares plus all applicable federal, state and local income and employment taxes required to be withheld by FNB by reason of such purchase and (ii) shall provide written directives to FNB to deliver the certificates for the purchased Shares directly to such brokerage firm in order to complete the sale transaction. An Optionee's election to deliver Shares or to have FNB withhold Shares from the Shares otherwise due upon exercise of the Option to satisfy the exercise price is subject to approval by

5

the Committee and must be made in accordance with rules and procedures established by the Committee, including the time within which such an election must be made.

8. Exercise of Option.

(a) Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Shareholder. Any Option granted hereunder shall be exercisable at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Committee. The vesting of any Option shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion provided , however, that each Option shall vest at the rate of at least 20 percent per year over the five years from the date such Option is granted. An Option may not be exercised for less than ten (10) Shares or for a fraction of a Share.

An Option shall be deemed to be exercised when written notice of such exercise has been given to FNB in accordance with the terms of the Option by the person entitled to exercise the Option and full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised has been received by FNB. Full payment may, as authorized by the Committee, consist of any consideration and method of payment allowable under Section 6(c) of the Plan. Until the issuance (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of FNB or of a duly authorized transfer agent of FNB) of the stock certificate evidencing such Shares, no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a shareholder shall exist with respect to the Optioned Stock, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the stock certificate is issued, except as provided in
Section 10 of the Plan.

(b) Termination of Employment or Officer Status. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, upon the termination of an Officer Optionee's status as an employee, including the termination of the status as an employee of an Officer who is also a Director, his or her rights to exercise an Option then held shall be only as follows:

(i) Termination of Status as an Employee For Any Reason Other Than Cause. If an Officer ceases to serve as an employee for any reason other than Cause (as such term is defined below), Disability or Death, he or she may, within three (3) months after the date he or she ceases to be an employee of FNB or any of its Affiliates, exercise his or her Option to the extent that he or she was entitled to exercise it at the date of such termination, provided the date of exercise is in no event after the expiration of the term of the Option. To the extent that he or she was not entitled to exercise the Option at the date of such termination, or if he or she does not exercise such Option (which he or she was entitled to exercise) within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate.

(ii) Termination of Status as an Employee For Cause. If an Officer is determined by the Board of Directors to have committed an act of embezzlement, fraud, dishonesty, breach of fiduciary duty to FNB, or to have deliberately disregarded the rules of FNB which resulted in loss, damage or injury to FNB, or if an Officer Optionee makes any unauthorized disclosure of any of the secrets or confidential information of FNB, induces any client or customer of FNB to break any

6

contract with FNB or induces any principal for whom FNB acts as agent to terminate such agency relations, or engages in any conduct which constitutes unfair competition with FNB, or if an Officer Optionee is removed from any office of FNB by any bank regulatory agency, his or her Options shall terminate on the date of termination of his or her employment for Cause. In making such determination, the Board of Directors shall act fairly and shall give the Officer Optionee an opportunity to appear and be heard at a hearing before the Board of Directors and present evidence on the Officer Optionee's behalf. For the purpose of this Section 7(c), termination of employment shall be deemed to occur when FNB dispatches notice or advice to the Officer Optionee that the Officer Optionee's employment is terminated and not at the time of the Officer Optionee's receipt thereof, whether or not after termination of employment, the Officer Optionee may receive payment from FNB for vacation pay, for services rendered prior to termination, for services for the day on which termination occurred, for salary in lieu of notice, or for other benefits. As used in this
Section 7(c), the term "FNB" also includes any Affiliates of FNB.

(iii) Disability of Officer Optionee. In the event an Officer is unable to continue his or her employment with FNB or any of its Affiliates as a result of his or her total and permanent disability (as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), he or she may, within twelve (12) months following the date of termination, exercise his or her Option to the extent he or she was entitled to exercise it at the date of such termination; provided the date of exercise is in no event after the expiration of the term of the Option. To the extent that he or she was not entitled to exercise the Option at the date of termination, or if he or she does not exercise such Option (which he or she was entitled to exercise) within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate.

(iv) Death of Officer Optionee. In the event of the death of an Officer Optionee while such Optionee is an employee of FNB or any of its Affiliates, or during the three-month period referred to in Section 7(b)(i) hereof, the Option may be exercised at any time within twelve (12) months following the date of death, by the Officer Optionee's estate or by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent of the right to exercise that had accrued at the date of death and provided that the date of exercise is in no event after the date of expiration of the Option.

(v) Termination of Nonemployee Director Status. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, upon the termination of a Nonemployee Director Optionee's status as a member of the Board of Directors, his or her rights to exercise an Option then held shall be only as follows:

(vi) Death or Disability. If a Nonemployee Director Optionee's tenure on the Board is terminated by death or disability, such Optionee or such Optionee's qualified representative (in the event of such Optionee's mental disability) or such Optionee's estate (in the event of such Optionee's death) shall have the right for a period of

7

twelve (12) months following the date of such death or disability to exercise the Option to the extent the Optionee was entitled to exercise such Option on the date of the Optionee's death or disability; provided the actual date of exercise is in no event after the expiration of the term of the Option. An Optionee's "estate" shall mean the Optionee's legal representative or any person who acquires the right to exercise an option by reason of the Optionee's death.

(vii) Other Reasons. If a Nonemployee Director Optionee's tenure on the Board is terminated for any reason other than those mentioned above under "Death or Disability," the Optionee may, within three (3) months following such termination, exercise the Option to the extent such Option was exercisable by the Optionee on the date of such termination: provided the date of exercise is in no event after the expiration of the term of the Option.

9. Non-Transferability of Options. Options may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Optionee, only by the Optionee; provided, however, that Nonstatutory Stock Options may be transferred pursuant to a "qualified domestic relations order," and may be exercised by the transferee of such a transfer, to the extent allowed under Rule 16b-3, as it may be amended from time to time, or any successor rule.

10. Tax Withholding. Where FNB deems that it is appropriate to withhold taxes relating to the exercise of any Option, the Committee may, in its discretion, require that such taxes be paid in a manner satisfactory to FNB. FNB may require the payment of such taxes before Shares of FNB's Common Stock deliverable pursuant to such exercise are transferred to the Optionee.

11. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action by the shareholders of FNB, the number of shares of Common Stock covered by each outstanding Option, and the number of shares of Common Stock which have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to which no Options have yet been granted or which have been returned to the Plan upon cancellation or expiration of an Option, as well as the price per share of Common Stock covered by each such outstanding Option, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock effected without receipt of consideration by FNB; provided, however, that conversion of any convertible securities of FNB shall not be deemed to have been "effected without receipt of consideration." Such adjustment shall be made by the Board of Directors, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by FNB of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of shares of Common Stock subject to an Option.

8

12. Dissolution, Merger or Similar Event; Acceleration. Upon consummation of a plan of dissolution or liquidation of FNB, or upon consummation of a plan of reorganization, merger or consolidation of FNB with one or more banks or corporations as a result of which FNB is not the surviving entity, or upon the sale of all or substantially all the assets of FNB to another bank or corporation, the Plan shall automatically terminate and all Options theretofore granted shall be terminated, unless provision is made in connection with such transaction for assumption of Options theretofore granted, or substitution for such Options with new stock options or rights covering stock of a successor bank or corporation, or a parent or subsidiary corporation thereof, solely at the discretion of such successor bank or corporation, or parent or subsidiary corporation, with appropriate adjustments as to number and kind of shares and prices.

Notwithstanding any provisions in any Option agreement pertaining to the time of exercise of an Option, or part thereof, upon adoption by the requisite holders of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of any plan of dissolution, liquidation, reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of FNB to another bank or corporation which would, upon consummation, result in termination of an Option as described above, all outstanding Options shall become immediately exercisable as to all unexercised Optioned Stock for such period of time as may be determined by the Committee, but in any event not more than fifteen (15) days, on the condition that the terminating event described above is consummated. If such terminating event is not consummated, Options granted pursuant to the Plan shall be exercisable in accordance with their respective terms as in existence prior to acceleration, except with respect to any Option exercised within the period of accelerated exercisability.

13. Term of Plan. The Plan shall become effective upon the earlier to occur of its adoption by the Board of Directors or its approval by the shareholders of FNB as described in Section 16 of the Plan. It shall continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years unless sooner terminated under Section 14 of the Plan.

14. Amendment and Termination of the Plan.

(a) The Board of Directors may amend or terminate the Plan from time to time in such respects as the Board of Directors may deem advisable. The Bank shall (only to the extent required, and in the manner required, by the Code and Rule 16b-3, as amended from time to time, or by any successor rule or other applicable law or regulation) obtain shareholder approval of any amendment to the Plan which would (i) materially increase the benefits accruing to participants under the Plan, (ii) materially increase the number of Shares which may be issued under the Plan; or (iii) materially modify the requirements as to eligibility for participation in the Plan.

(b) Except as provided in Section 12 of the Plan, any such amendment or termination of the Plan shall not affect Options already granted and such Options shall remain in full force and effect as if this Plan had not been amended or terminated, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Optionee and FNB, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Optionee and FNB.

9

15. Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares. Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option unless and until the exercise of such Option and the issuance and delivery of such Shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all the then applicable requirements of all regulatory agencies having jurisdiction, and the requirements of any stock exchange or inter-dealer quotation system upon which the Shares may then be listed, and shall be further subject to the approval of legal counsel for FNB with respect to such compliance.

16. Reservation of Shares. FNB, during the term of this Plan, shall take all necessary action, and if required, submit such action for shareholder approval, to reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan. Inability of FNB to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by FNB's legal counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve FNB of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.

17. Shareholder Approval of the Plan. The Plan was approved by the shareholders of First National Bank of Northern California, a subsidiary of FNB (the "Bank"), on October 15, 1997, which was within twelve (12) months after the date the Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors of the Bank. Such shareholder approval consisted of approval by the affirmative votes of the holders of a majority of the common stock of the Bank present, or represented, and entitled to vote at a meeting duly held in accordance with applicable law. The Plan was subsequently assumed by FNB pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated as of November 1, 2001, between FNB and the Bank (the "Plan of Reorganization"). The Plan of Reorganization was approved by the affirmative vote of two-thirds (2/3) of all shares of common stock of the Bank present, or represented, and entitled to vote at a meeting duly held in accordance with applicable law, on February 27, 2002, and the effective date of the reorganization described in the Plan of Reorganization, including assumption of the Plan by FNB, was March 15, 2002.

18. Severability. If any provision of this Plan as applied to any person or to any circumstance shall be adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void, invalid, or unenforceable, the same shall in no way affect any other provision hereof, the application of any such provision in any other circumstances, or the validity or enforceability hereof.

19. Construction. Where the context or construction requires, all words applied in the plural herein shall be deemed to have been used in the singular and vice versa, and the masculine gender shall include the feminine and the neuter and vice versa.

20. Headings. The headings of the several paragraphs herein are inserted solely for convenience of reference and are not intended to form a part of and are not intended to govern, limit or aid in the construction of any term or provision hereof.

21. Governing Law. This Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California.

10

22. Conflict. In the event of any conflict between the terms and provisions of this Plan, and any other document, agreement or instrument, including, without meaning any limitation, any written Option agreement, the terms and provision of this Plan shall control.

FNB BANCORP

INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

1. Grant. FNB Bancorp, a California corporation ("FNB"), hereby grants to ___________________________ (the "Optionee"), an option (the "Option") to purchase a total of _______ shares of common stock of FNB (the "Shares"), at the price determined as provided herein, and in all respects subject to the terms, definitions and provisions of the FNB Bancorp Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"). The Optionee has been provided with a copy of the Plan. Capitalized terms defined in the Plan shall have the same defined meanings herein.

2. Nature of the Option. This Option is intended to qualify as an incentive stock option as defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). However, FNB does not represent or warrant that this Option qualifies as an incentive stock option. Optionee acknowledges that Optionee is responsible to consult with Optionee's own tax advisor regarding the tax effects of the Option and the requirements necessary to obtain income tax treatment under Section 422 of the Code, including, but not limited to, holding period requirements.

Optionee further understands that, if Optionee disposes of any Shares received under this Option within two (2) years after the Grant Date of the Option specified below or within one (1) year after such Shares are transferred to Optionee, then Optionee will be treated for federal income tax purposes as having received ordinary income at the time of such disposition in an amount generally measured by the difference between the Exercise Price and the lower of the fair market value of the Shares at the date of the exercise or the fair market value of the Shares at the date of disposition. Optionee understands that, if Optionee disposes of such Shares at any time after the expiration of such two-year and one-year holding periods, any gain on such sale will be taxed as long-term capital gain. Optionee further understands that, under the provisions of the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997, the maximum tax rate on net capital gains has been reduced for assets held longer than eighteen (18) months, as compared to the one year holding period. Optionee agrees to notify FNB in writing within five (5) days after the date of any such disposition.

Optionee further understands that: (a) if Optionee is unable to continue employment with FNB as a result of a total and permanent disability (as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), and if the other requirements for incentive stock option treatment contained in Section 422 of the Code are satisfied, Optionee will be entitled to exercise the Option within twelve (12) months of such termination without defeating incentive stock option treatment; but (b) if Optionee is unable to continue employment with FNB as a result of disability which is not total and permanent (as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), the Option will not qualify as an incentive stock option unless it is


exercised within three (3) months of the date of termination (i.e., while the Option may be exercised for a period of twelve (12) months after such termination, an exercise more than three (3) months following termination will result in the Option being taxed as a nonstatutory stock option).

Optionee acknowledges, and FNB affirms, that the methodology by which the fair market value of the Shares has been determined by FNB represents a good faith attempt, as defined in the Code and the regulations thereunder, at reaching an accurate appraisal of the fair market value of the Shares; and FNB shall not be responsible for any additional tax liability incurred by Optionee in the event that the Internal Revenue Service were to determine that the Option does not qualify as an incentive stock option for any reason.

3. Exercise Price. The Exercise Price is $____________ for each share of Common Stock, which price is not less than the fair market value per share of the common stock of FNB on the date of grant, being the date hereof (the "Grant Date").

4. Exercise of Option. This Option shall be exercisable during its term in accordance with the provisions of Sections 7 and 8 of the Plan as follows:

(a) Right to Exercise. This Option shall vest cumulatively from the date of grant of the Option, exercisable during a period of ________ months after the Grant Date as follows:

(1) This Option may be exercised immediately to the extent of not more than ____ percent (__%) of the Shares;

(2) Upon or after the expiration of _________ (__) months from the Grant Date, this Option may be exercised to the extent of an additional ____ percent (__%) of the Shares;

(3) Upon or after the expiration of _________ (__) months from the Grant Date, this Option may be exercised to the extent of an additional ____ percent (__%) of the Shares;

(4) Upon or after the expiration of _________ (__) months from the Grant Date, this Option may be exercised to the extent of an additional ____ percent (__%) of the Shares; and

(5) Upon or after the expiration of _________ (__) months from the Grant Date, this Option may be exercised to the extent of an additional ____ percent (__%) of the Shares.

Any portion of the Option not exercised shall accumulate and can be exercised any time prior to or upon the expiration of _________ (__) months from the Grant Date.

2

(b) Minimum Exercise. This Option may not be exercised for less than ten (10) Shares nor for a fraction of a Share.

(c) Method of Exercise. This Option shall be exercisable by written notice which shall state the election to exercise the Option and specify the number of Shares in respect of which the Option is being exercised. Such written notice shall be signed by the Optionee and shall be delivered in person or by certified mail to the Secretary of FNB accompanied by payment of the Exercise Price specified in Section 3 above.

No Shares will be issued pursuant to the exercise of the Option unless such issuance and such exercise shall comply with all relevant provisions of law and the requirements of any stock exchange or inter-dealer quotation system upon which the shares of FNB's common stock may then be listed or quoted. Assuming such compliance, the Shares shall be considered transferred to the Optionee on the date on which the Option is exercised with respect to such Shares. An Optionee shall have no rights as a shareholder of FNB with respect to any Shares until the issuance of a stock certificate to the Optionee for such Shares.

(d) Method of Payment. The entire Exercise Price of Shares issued under this Option shall be payable in cash or by certified check, official bank check, or the equivalent thereof acceptable to FNB at the time when such Shares are purchased. Such payment also shall include the amount of any withholding tax obligation which may arise in connection with the exercise, as determined by FNB. In addition, subject to Section 8 below, payment may be made in any of the following forms as indicated by an "x" in the relevant parenthesis:

( ) Surrender of Stock. Payment of all or part of the Exercise Price and any withholding taxes may be made all or in part with Shares which have already been owned by the Optionee or Optionee's representative for more than six (6) months and which are surrendered to FNB in good form for transfer. Such Shares shall be valued at their fair market value on the date when the new Shares are purchased pursuant to the exercise of the Option.

( ) Exercise/Sale. Payment may be made by the delivery (on a form prescribed by FNB) of an irrevocable direction to a securities broker approved by FNB to sell Shares and to deliver all or part of the sales proceeds to FNB in payment of all or part of the Exercise Price and any withholding taxes.

( ) Exercise/Pledge. Payment may be made by the delivery (on a form prescribed by FNB) of an irrevocable direction to pledge Shares to a securities broker or lender approved by FNB, as security for a loan, and to deliver all or part of the loan proceeds to FNB in payment of all or part of the Exercise Price and any withholding taxes.

(e) Termination of Service. In the event that the Optionee's status as an employee of FNB terminates:

3

(i) As a result of such Optionee's death or total and permanent disability, the term of the Option shall expire twelve (12) months after such death or total and permanent disability but not later than the original expiration date specified in Section 5 below.

(ii) As a result of termination by FNB for cause, the term of the Option shall expire as of the date on which FNB's notice or advice of such termination is dispatched to Optionee, but not later than the original expiration date specified in Section 5 below. For purposes of this paragraph
(ii), "cause" shall mean an act of embezzlement, fraud, dishonesty, breach of fiduciary duty to FNB, or the deliberate disregard of rules of FNB which results in loss, damage or injury to FNB, the unauthorized disclosure of any of the secrets or confidential information of FNB, the inducement of any client or customer of FNB to break any contract with FNB, or the inducement of any principal for whom FNB acts as agent to terminate such agency relationship, the engagement in any conduct which constitutes unfair competition with FNB, the removal of Optionee from office by any court or bank regulatory agency, or such other similar acts which the Committee in its discretion determines to constitute good cause for termination of Optionee's employment. As used in this paragraph (ii), FNB includes Affiliates of FNB.

(iii) As a result of termination for any reason other than total and permanent disability, death or cause, the term of the Option shall expire three (3) months after such termination, but not later than the original expiration date specified in Section 5 below.

Neither the Plan nor this Option shall be deemed to give Optionee a right to remain an employee of FNB or an Affiliate. FNB and its Affiliates reserve the right to terminate the employment of any employee at any time, with or without cause, subject to applicable laws and the terms of any written employment agreement.

5. Term of Option. Subject to earlier termination as provided in the Plan, this Option shall terminate __ years from the Grant Date of this Option, and may be exercised during such term only in accordance with the Plan and the terms of this Option.

6. Non-Transferability of Option. This Option may not be transferred in any manner otherwise than by will, by written beneficiary designation or by the laws of descent and distribution, and may be exercised during the lifetime of Optionee only by Optionee. The terms of this Option shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the Optionee.

7. Adjustment of Shares. In the event of a subdivision of the outstanding shares of common stock of FNB, a declaration of a dividend payable in Shares, a declaration of a dividend payable in a form other than Shares in an amount that has a material effect on the value of Shares, a combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of common stock (by reclassification or otherwise) into a lesser number of Shares, a recapitalization, a spin-off or a similar occurrence, FNB shall make appropriate adjustments in the number of Shares covered by the Option and in the Exercise Price of the Option.

4

In the event that FNB is a party to a merger or other reorganization, the Option shall be subject to the agreement of merger or reorganization. Subject to the provisions of Section 12 of the Plan, such agreement may provide, without limitation, for the assumption of all outstanding options by the surviving corporation or its parent, for their continuation by FNB (if FNB is a surviving corporation), for payment of a per-Share cash settlement equal to the difference between the amount to be paid for one Share under such agreement and the Exercise Price, or for the acceleration of the exercisability followed by the cancellation of any option not exercised, in all cases without the optionees' consent. Any cancellation shall not occur until after such acceleration is effective and optionees have been notified of such acceleration and have had reasonable opportunity to exercise their options.

Except as provided in this Section 7, Optionee shall have no rights by reason of any subdivision or consolidation of shares of stock of any class, the payment of any dividend or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class. Any issuance by FNB of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or Exercise Price of Shares subject to the Option. The grant of this Option pursuant to the Plan shall not affect in any way the right or power of FNB to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital or business structure, to merge or consolidate or to dissolve, liquidate, sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

Optionee further understands and agrees that FNB may cause an appropriate restrictive legend or legends to be placed upon any certificate(s) evidencing the Shares, and may issue appropriate "stop-transfer" instructions to FNB's transfer agent, U.S. Stock Transfer Corporation, in order to ensure compliance with relevant federal and state securities laws, as described hereinabove.

In the event that FNB is a party to a merger or other reorganization, the Option shall be subject to the agreement of merger or reorganization. Subject to the provisions of Section 12 of the Plan, such agreement may provide, without limitation, for the assumption of all outstanding options by the surviving corporation or its parent, for their continuation by FNB (if FNB is a surviving corporation), for payment of a per-Share cash settlement equal to the difference between the amount to be paid for one Share under such agreement and the Exercise Price, or for the acceleration of the exercisability followed by the cancellation of any option not exercised, in all cases without the optionees' consent. Any cancellation shall not occur until after such acceleration is effective and optionees have been notified of such acceleration and have had reasonable opportunity to exercise their options.

Except as provided in this Section, Optionee shall have no rights by reason of any subdivision or consolidation of shares of stock of any class, the payment of any dividend or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class. Any issuance by FNB of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or Exercise Price of Shares subject to the Option. The grant of this Option pursuant to the Plan shall not affect in any way the right or power of FNB to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital or business structure, to merge or consolidate or to dissolve, liquidate, sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

8. Taxation Upon Exercise of Option. Optionee understands that upon exercise of this Option, he or she will generally recognize income for tax purposes in an amount equal to the excess of the then fair market value of the Shares over the exercise price. FNB will be required to withhold tax from Optionee's current compensation with respect to such income; to the extent that Optionee's current compensation is insufficient to satisfy the withholding tax liability, FNB may require the Optionee to make a cash payment to cover such liability as a condition of exercise of this Option. The Optionee may elect to pay such tax by (i) requesting FNB to withhold a sufficient number of shares from the shares otherwise due upon exercise or (ii) by delivering a sufficient

number of shares of FNB's common stock which have been previously held by the Optionee for such period of time as the Committee may require. The aggregate value of the shares withheld or delivered, as determined by the Committee, must be sufficient to satisfy all such applicable taxes, except as otherwise permitted by the Committee. If the Optionee is subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Optionee's election must be made in compliance with rules and procedures established by the Committee.

Optionee further understands and agrees that FNB may cause an appropriate restrictive legend or legends to be placed upon any certificate(s) evidencing the Shares, and may issue appropriate "stop-transfer" instructions to FNB's transfer agent, U.S. Stock Transfer Corporation, in order to ensure compliance with relevant federal and state securities laws, as described hereinabove.
