Item 1.01.   Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

          On February 27, 2009, as part of the Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”) Capital Purchase Program of the United States Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”), FNB Bancorp (the “Company”) entered into a Letter Agreement and Securities Purchase Agreement (collectively, the”Purchase Agreement”) with Treasury , pursuant to which the Company (i) sold to Treasury 12,000 shares of the Company’s Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), having a liquidation preference amount of $1,000 per share, for a purchase price of $12,000,000 in cash, and (ii) issued to Treasury a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase 600.006 shares of the Company’s Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B (the “Sereis B Preferred Stock”), at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. Immediately after the issuance of the Warrant, Treasury exercised the Warrant in a cashless exercise resulting in the net issuance of 600 shares of the Series B Preferred Stock, having a liquidation preference amount of $1,000 per share, to Treasury.

          The Series A Preferred Stock entitles its holder(s) to cumulative dividends on the liquidation preference amount on a quarterly basis at a rate of 5% per annum for the first five years, and 9% per annum thereafter. The Series B Preferred Stock entitles its holder(s) to cumulative dividends on the liquidation preference amount on a quarterly basis at a rate of 9% per annum from the date of issuance. Tthe Series A and Series B Preferred Stock are redeemable at the option of the Company in whole or in part at a redemption price of 100% of the liquidation preference amount plus any accrued and unpaid dividends, provided that such stock may be redeemed prior to the first dividend payment date falling after the third anniversary of the issue date (i.e., prior to February 27, 2012) only if (i) the Company has raised aggregate gross proceeds in one or more Qualified Equity Offerings (as defined below) of at least $3,000,000 (in the case of the Series A Preferred Stock) and $150,000 (in the case of the Series B Preferred Stock) and (ii) the aggregate redemption price does not exceed the aggregate net proceeds from such Qualified Equity Offerings. None of the shares of Series A Prweferred Stock may be redeemed until all of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock have been redeemed. A “Qualified Equity Offering” is defined as the sale for cash by the Company of common stock or preferred stock that qualifies as Tier 1 capital under applicable regulatory capial guidelines. The restrictions on redemption and other terms of the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock are set forth in the certificates of determination for the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock described in Item 5.03 below.

          Neither the Series A Preferred Stock nor the Series B Preferred is subject to any contractual restrictions on transfer. The Company is required to take all steps as may be reasonably requested by Treasury to facilitate the transfer of the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock.

          The Purchase Agreement also subjects the Company and its senior executive officers to executive compensation limitations included in the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (the “EESA”) and related Treasury regulations. In this connection, each of the Company’s five executive officers to be named in the compensation tables in the Company’s next annual meeting proxy statement (i) entered into a Compensation Modification Agreement with the Company, acknowledging that the EESA executive compensation limits and related Treasury regulations may require modification of their compensation plans, agreements and other arrangements to the extent these relate to the period during which Treasury holds any securities of the Company acquired through the TARP Capital Purchase Program and (ii) executed a waiver voluntarily waiving any claim against Treasury of the Company for any changes to such executive officer’s compensation plans, agreements or arrangements that are required to comply with the requirements of the EESA and the rules and regulations under EESA.


Item 3.02.   Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

          The information set forth under Item 1.01 is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02. The issuance and sale of the Series A Preferred Stock, Warrant and Series B Preferred Stock was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. The Company has not engaged in a general solicitation or advertising with regard to the issuance and sale of such securities and has not offered securities to the public in connection with this issuance and sale.

Item 3.03.   Material Modification to Rights of Securities Holders.

          Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, unless and until all of the shares of the Series A and Series B Stoock have been transferred by Treasury to third parties or been redeemed by the Company, (i) prior to the third anniversary of the date of issuance of the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock, the Company may not pay dividends on its common stock without the consent of Treasury, (ii) from the third anniverssary until the tenth anniversary of the date of issuance of the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock, the Company must obtain the consent of Treasury for any increase in annual cash dividends on the Company’s common stock (if it is then paying dividends on its common stock) of more than 3% from the prior year, and (iii) after the tenth anniversary of the date of issuance of the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock, the Company must obtain Treasury’s consent for any dividends on its common stock. In addition, unless all of the shares of the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock have been transferred to third parties or been redeemed by the Company, Treasury’s consent is generally rquired for any repurchases by the Company of its common stock.

          Under the terms of the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock, the ability of the Company to declare or pay dividends or distributions on, or repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire for consideration, shares of its Junior Stock and Parity Stock will be subject to restrictions in the event that the Company fails to declare and pay full dividends on the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock. These restrictions are set forth in the certificates of determination for the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock described in Item 5.03.

          “Junior Stock” means the Company’s common stock and any other class or series of stock of the Company the terms of which expressly provide that it ranks junior to the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock as to dividend rights and/or rights on liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company. “Parity Stock” means any class or series of stock of the Company the terms of which do not expressly provide that such class or series will rank senior or junior to the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock as to dividend rights and/or rights on liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company (in each case without regard to whether dividends accrue cumulatively or non-cumulatively).

          The terms of the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock provide that in the event the Company fails to pay dividends on the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock for six or more quarterly dividend periods (whether or not consecutive), the holder(s) of the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock have the right to elect two directors of the Company; this right ends when the unpaid dividends on the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock have been paid in full. As required by Treasury, effective as of February 27, 2009, the Board of Directors of the Company amended Article III, Section 16 of the Company’s Bylaws to provide that so long as the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock remain outstanding, in the event the Company fails to pay dividends on the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock for six or more quarterly dividend periods (whether or not consecutive), the authorized number of directors of the Company will automatically increase by two. A copy of the Bylaw amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.4 and is incorporated herein by reference. The Company is required by agreement with Treasury to maintain, so long as any shares of Series A or Series B Preferred Stock remain outstanding, at least two open director seats for the holder(s) of the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock to provide for the election of directors under the circumstances described above. A copy of the letter agreement between the Company and Treasury pertaining to the election of directors by the holder(s) of the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.4 and is incorporated herein by reference.

          (b)           Priority of Dividends . So long as any share of Designated Preferred Stock remains outstanding, no dividend or distribution shall be declared or paid on the Common Stock or any other shares of Junior Stock (other than dividends payable solely in shares of Common Stock) or Parity Stock, subject to the immediately following paragraph in the case of Parity Stock, and no Common Stock, Junior Stock or Parity Stock shall be, directly or indirectly, purchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired for consideration by the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries unless all accrued and unpaid dividends for all past Dividend Periods, including the latest completed Dividend Period (including, if applicable as provided in Section 3(a) above, dividends on such amount), on all outstanding shares of Designated Preferred Stock have been or are contemporaneously declared and paid in full (or have been declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof has been set aside for the benefit of the holders of shares of Designated Preferred Stock on the applicable record date).

A-3


          When dividends are not paid (or declared and a sum sufficient for payment thereof set aside for the benefit of the holders thereof on the applicable record date) on any Dividend Payment Date (or, in the case of Parity Stock having dividend payment dates different from the Dividend Payment Dates, on a dividend payment date falling within a Dividend Period related to such Dividend Payment Date) in full upon Designated Preferred Stock and any shares of Parity Stock, all dividends declared on Designated Preferred Stock and all such Parity Stock and payable on such Dividend Payment Date (or, in the case of Parity Stock having dividend payment dates different from the Dividend Payment Dates, on a dividend payment date falling within the Dividend Period related to such Dividend Payment Date) shall be declared pro rata so that the respective amounts of such dividends declared shall bear the same ratio to each other as all accrued and unpaid dividends per share on the shares of Designated Preferred Stock (including, if applicable as provided in Section 3(a) above, dividends on such amount) and all Parity Stock payable on such Dividend Payment Date (or, in the case of Parity Stock having dividend payment dates different from the Dividend Payment Dates, on a dividend payment date falling within the Dividend Period related to such Dividend Payment Date) (subject to their having been declared by the Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors out of legally available funds and including, in the case of Parity Stock that bears cumulative dividends, all accrued but unpaid dividends) bear to each other.

          Section 4. Liquidation Rights.

          (a)           Voluntary or Involuntary Liquidation . In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Issuer, whether voluntary or involuntary, holders of Designated Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive for each share of Designated Preferred Stock, out of the assets of the Issuer or proceeds thereof (whether capital or surplus) available for distribution to stockholders of the Issuer, subject to the rights of any creditors of the Issuer, before any distribution of such assets or proceeds is made to or set aside for the holders of Common Stock and any other stock of the Issuer ranking junior to Designated Preferred Stock as to such distribution, payment in full in an amount equal to the sum of (i) the Liquidation Amount per share and (ii) the amount of any accrued and unpaid dividends (including, if applicable as provided in Section 3(a) above, dividends on such amount), whether or not declared, to the date of payment (such amounts collectively, the “ Liquidation Preference ”).

          (b)           Partial Payment . If in any distribution described in Section 4(a) above the assets of the Issuer or proceeds thereof are not sufficient to pay in full the amounts payable with respect to all outstanding shares of Designated Preferred Stock and the corresponding amounts payable with respect of any other stock of the Issuer ranking equally with Designated Preferred Stock as to such distribution, holders of Designated Preferred Stock and the holders of such other stock shall share ratably in any such distribution in proportion to the full respective distributions to which they are entitled.

A-4


          (c)           Residual Distributions . If the Liquidation Preference has been paid in full to all holders of Designated Preferred Stock and the corresponding amounts payable with respect of any other stock of the Issuer ranking equally with Designated Preferred Stock as to such distribution has been paid in full, the holders of other stock of the Issuer shall be entitled to receive all remaining assets of the Issuer (or proceeds thereof) according to their respective rights and preferences.

          (d)           Merger, Consolidation and Sale of Assets Not Liquidation . For purposes of this Section 4, the merger or consolidation of the Issuer with any other corporation or other entity, including a merger or consolidation in which the holders of Designated Preferred Stock receive cash, securities or other property for their shares, or the sale, lease or exchange (for cash, securities or other property) of all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer, shall not constitute a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Issuer.

          Section 5. Redemption.

          (a)           Optional Redemption . Except as provided below, the Designated Preferred Stock may not be redeemed prior to the first Dividend Payment Date falling on or after the third anniversary of the Original Issue Date.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the first Dividend Payment Date falling on or after the third anniversary of the Original Issue Date, the Issuer, at its option, subject to the approval of the Appropriate Federal Banking Agency, may redeem, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, the shares of Designated Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, upon notice given as provided in Section 5(c) below, at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i) the Liquidation Amount per share and (ii) except as otherwise provided below, any accrued and unpaid dividends (including, if applicable as provided in Section 3(a) above, dividends on such amount) (regardless of whether any dividends are actually declared) to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption; provided that (x) the Issuer (or any successor by Business Combination) has received aggregate gross proceeds of not less than the Minimum Amount (plus the “Minimum Amount” as defined in the relevant certificate of determination for each other outstanding series of preferred stock of such successor that was originally issued to the United States Department of the Treasury (the “ Successor Preferred Stock ”) in connection with the Troubled Asset Relief Program Capital Purchase Program) from one or more Qualified Equity Offerings (including Qualified Equity Offerings of such successor), and (y) the aggregate redemption price of the Designated Preferred Stock (and any Successor Preferred Stock) redeemed pursuant to this paragraph may not exceed the aggregate net cash proceeds received by the Issuer (or any successor by Business Combination) from such Qualified Equity Offerings (including Qualified Equity Offerings of such successor).

          The redemption price for any shares of Designated Preferred Stock shall be payable on the redemption date to the holder of such shares against surrender of the certificate(s) evidencing such shares to the Issuer or its agent. Any declared but unpaid dividends payable on a redemption date that occurs subsequent to the Dividend Record Date for a Dividend Period shall not be paid to the holder entitled to receive the redemption price on the redemption date, but rather shall be paid to the holder of record of the redeemed shares on such Dividend Record Date relating to the Dividend Payment Date as provided in Section 3 above.

          (b)           No Sinking Fund . The Designated Preferred Stock will not be subject to any mandatory redemption, sinking fund or other similar provisions.

Such mailing shall be at least 30 days and not more than 60 days before the date fixed for redemption. Any notice mailed as provided in this Subsection shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the holder receives such notice, but failure duly to give such notice by mail, or any defect in such notice or in the mailing thereof, to any holder of shares of Designated Preferred Stock designated for redemption shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other shares of Designated Preferred Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if shares of Designated Preferred Stock are issued in book-entry form through The Depository Trust Company or any other similar facility, notice of redemption may be given to the holders of Designated Preferred Stock at such time and in any manner permitted by such facility. Each notice of redemption given to a holder shall state: (1) the redemption date; (2) the number of shares of Designated Preferred Stock to be redeemed and, if less than all the shares held by such holder are to be redeemed, the number of such shares to be redeemed from such holder; (3) the redemption price; and (4) the place or places where certificates for such shares are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price.

Subject to the provisions hereof, the Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee thereof shall have full power and authority to prescribe the terms and conditions upon which shares of Designated Preferred Stock shall be redeemed from time to time. If fewer than all the shares represented by any certificate are redeemed, a new certificate shall be issued representing the unredeemed shares without charge to the holder thereof.

A-6


          (e)           Effectiveness of Redemption . If notice of redemption has been duly given and if on or before the redemption date specified in the notice all funds necessary for the redemption have been deposited by the Issuer, in trust for the pro rata benefit of the holders of the shares called for redemption, with a bank or trust company doing business in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and having a capital and surplus of at least $500 million and selected by the Board of Directors, so as to be and continue to be available solely therefor, then, notwithstanding that any certificate for any share so called for redemption has not been surrendered for cancellation, on and after the redemption date dividends shall cease to accrue on all shares so called for redemption, all shares so called for redemption shall no longer be deemed outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares shall forthwith on such redemption date cease and terminate, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive the amount payable on such redemption from such bank or trust company, without interest. Any funds unclaimed at the end of three years from the redemption date shall, to the extent permitted by law, be released to the Issuer, after which time the holders of the shares so called for redemption shall look only to the Issuer for payment of the redemption price of such shares.

          (f)           Status of Redeemed Shares . Shares of Designated Preferred Stock that are redeemed, repurchased or otherwise acquired by the Issuer shall revert to authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock ( provided that any such cancelled shares of Designated Preferred Stock may be reissued only as shares of any series of Preferred Stock other than Designated Preferred Stock).

Whenever, at any time or times, dividends payable on the shares of Designated Preferred Stock have not been paid for an aggregate of six quarterly Dividend Periods or more, whether or not consecutive, the holders of the Designated Preferred Stock shall have the right, with holders of shares of any one or more other classes or series of Voting Parity Stock outstanding at the time, voting together as a class, to elect two directors (hereinafter the Preferred Directors and each a Preferred Director ) at the Issuer’s next annual meeting of stockholders (or at a special meeting called for that purpose prior to such next annual meeting) and at each subsequent annual meeting of stockholders until all accrued and unpaid dividends for all past Dividend Periods, including the latest completed Dividend Period (including, if applicable as provided in Section 3(a) above, dividends on such amount), on all outstanding shares of Designated Preferred Stock have been declared and paid in full at which time such right shall terminate with respect to the Designated Preferred Stock, except as herein or by law expressly provided, subject to revesting in the event of each and every subsequent default of the character above mentioned; provided that it shall be a qualification for election for any Preferred Director that the election of such Preferred Director shall not cause the Issuer to violate any corporate governance requirements of any securities exchange or other trading facility on which securities of the Issuer may then be listed or traded that listed or traded companies must have a majority of independent directors. Upon any termination of the right of the holders of shares of Designated Preferred Stock and Voting Parity Stock as a class to vote for directors as provided above, the Preferred Directors shall cease to be qualified as directors and the term of office of all Preferred Directors then in office shall terminate immediately. Any Preferred Director may be removed at any time, with or without cause, and any vacancy created thereby may be filled, only by the affirmative vote of the holders a majority of the shares of Designated Preferred Stock at the time outstanding voting separately as a class together with the holders of shares of Voting Parity Stock, to the extent the voting rights of such holders described above are then exercisable. If the office of any Preferred Director becomes vacant for any reason other than removal from office as aforesaid, the remaining Preferred Director may choose a successor who shall hold office for the unexpired term in respect of which such vacancy occurred.

          (d)           Changes after Provision for Redemption . No vote or consent of the holders of Designated Preferred Stock shall be required pursuant to Section 7(c) above if, at or prior to the time when any such vote or consent would otherwise be required pursuant to such Section, all outstanding shares of the Designated Preferred Stock shall have been redeemed, or shall have been called for redemption upon proper notice and sufficient funds shall have been deposited in trust for such redemption, in each case pursuant to Section 5 above.

          Section 10. No Preemptive Rights . No share of Designated Preferred Stock shall have any rights of preemption whatsoever as to any securities of the Issuer, or any warrants, rights or options issued or granted with respect thereto, regardless of how such securities, or such warrants, rights or options, may be designated, issued or granted.

          (b)           Priority of Dividends . So long as any share of Designated Preferred Stock remains outstanding, no dividend or distribution shall be declared or paid on the Common Stock or any other shares of Junior Stock (other than dividends payable solely in shares of Common Stock) or Parity Stock, subject to the immediately following paragraph in the case of Parity Stock, and no Common Stock, Junior Stock or Parity Stock shall be, directly or indirectly, purchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired for consideration by the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries unless all accrued and unpaid dividends for all past Dividend Periods, including the latest completed Dividend Period (including, if applicable as provided in Section 3(a) above, dividends on such amount), on all outstanding shares of Designated Preferred Stock have been or are contemporaneously declared and paid in full (or have been declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof has been set aside for the benefit of the holders of shares of Designated Preferred Stock on the applicable record date).

          When dividends are not paid (or declared and a sum sufficient for payment thereof set aside for the benefit of the holders thereof on the applicable record date) on any Dividend Payment Date (or, in the case of Parity Stock having dividend payment dates different from the Dividend Payment Dates, on a dividend payment date falling within a Dividend Period related to such Dividend Payment Date) in full upon Designated Preferred Stock and any shares of Parity Stock, all dividends declared on Designated Preferred Stock and all such Parity Stock and payable on such Dividend Payment Date (or, in the case of Parity Stock having dividend payment dates different from the Dividend Payment Dates, on a dividend payment date falling within the Dividend Period related to such Dividend Payment Date) shall be declared pro rata so that the respective amounts of such dividends declared shall bear the same ratio to each other as all accrued and unpaid dividends per share on the shares of Designated Preferred Stock (including, if applicable as provided in Section 3(a) above, dividends on such amount) and all Parity Stock payable on such Dividend Payment Date (or, in the case of Parity Stock having dividend payment dates different from the Dividend Payment Dates, on a dividend payment date falling within the Dividend Period related to such Dividend Payment Date) (subject to their having been declared by the Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors out of legally available funds and including, in the case of Parity Stock that bears cumulative dividends, all accrued but unpaid dividends) bear to each other.

          (b)           Partial Payment . If in any distribution described in Section 4(a) above the assets of the Issuer or proceeds thereof are not sufficient to pay in full the amounts payable with respect to all outstanding shares of Designated Preferred Stock and the corresponding amounts payable with respect of any other stock of the Issuer ranking equally with Designated Preferred Stock as to such distribution, holders of Designated Preferred Stock and the holders of such other stock shall share ratably in any such distribution in proportion to the full respective distributions to which they are entitled.

          (c)           Residual Distributions . If the Liquidation Preference has been paid in full to all holders of Designated Preferred Stock and the corresponding amounts payable with respect of any other stock of the Issuer ranking equally with Designated Preferred Stock as to such distribution has been paid in full, the holders of other stock of the Issuer shall be entitled to receive all remaining assets of the Issuer (or proceeds thereof) according to their respective rights and preferences.

          (d)           Merger, Consolidation and Sale of Assets Not Liquidation .

          Section 5. Redemption.

          (a)           Optional Redemption . Except as provided below, the Designated Preferred Stock may not be redeemed prior to the later of (i) first Dividend Payment Date falling on or after the third anniversary of the Original Issue Date; and (ii) the date on which all outstanding shares of UST Preferred Stock have been redeemed, repurchased or otherwise acquired by the Issuer. On or after the first Dividend Payment Date falling on or after the third anniversary of the Original Issue Date, the Issuer, at its option, subject to the approval of the Appropriate Federal Banking Agency, may redeem, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, out of funds legally available therefor, the shares of Designated Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, upon notice given as provided in Section 5(c) below, at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i) the Liquidation Amount per share and (ii) except as otherwise provided below, any accrued and unpaid dividends (including, if applicable as provided in Section 3(a) above, dividends on such amount) (regardless of whether any dividends are actually declared) to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the first Dividend Payment Date falling on or after the third anniversary of the Original Issue Date, the Issuer, at its option, subject to the approval of the Appropriate Federal Banking Agency and subject to the requirement that all outstanding shares of UST Preferred Stock shall previously have been redeemed, repurchased or otherwise acquired by the Issuer, may redeem, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, the shares of Designated Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, upon notice given as provided in Section 5(c) below, at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i) the Liquidation Amount per share and (ii) except as otherwise provided below, any accrued and unpaid dividends (including, if applicable as provided in Section 3(a) above, dividends on such amount) (regardless of whether any dividends are actually declared) to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption; provided that (x) the Issuer (or any successor by Business Combination) has received aggregate gross proceeds of not less than the Minimum Amount (plus the “Minimum Amount” as defined in the relevant certificate of determination for each other outstanding series of preferred stock of such successor that was originally issued to the United States Department of the Treasury (the “ Successor Preferred Stock ”) in connection with the Troubled Asset Relief Program Capital Purchase Program) from one or more Qualified Equity Offerings (including Qualified Equity Offerings of such successor), and (y) the aggregate redemption price of the Designated Preferred Stock (and any Successor Preferred Stock) redeemed pursuant to this paragraph may not exceed the aggregate net cash proceeds received by the Issuer (or any successor by Business Combination) from such Qualified Equity Offerings (including Qualified Equity Offerings of such successor).

A-5


          The redemption price for any shares of Designated Preferred Stock shall be payable on the redemption date to the holder of such shares against surrender of the certificate(s) evidencing such shares to the Issuer or its agent. Any declared but unpaid dividends payable on a redemption date that occurs subsequent to the Dividend Record Date for a Dividend Period shall not be paid to the holder entitled to receive the redemption price on the redemption date, but rather shall be paid to the holder of record of the redeemed shares on such Dividend Record Date relating to the Dividend Payment Date as provided in Section 3 above.

          (b)           No Sinking Fund . The Designated Preferred Stock will not be subject to any mandatory redemption, sinking fund or other similar provisions. Holders of Designated Preferred Stock will have no right to require redemption or repurchase of any shares of Designated Preferred Stock.

          (c)           Notice of Redemption . Notice of every redemption of shares of Designated Preferred Stock shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the holders of record of the shares to be redeemed at their respective last addresses appearing on the books of the Issuer. Such mailing shall be at least 30 days and not more than 60 days before the date fixed for redemption. Any notice mailed as provided in this Subsection shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the holder receives such notice, but failure duly to give such notice by mail, or any defect in such notice or in the mailing thereof, to any holder of shares of Designated Preferred Stock designated for redemption shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other shares of Designated Preferred Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if shares of Designated Preferred Stock are issued in book-entry form through The Depository Trust Company or any other similar facility, notice of redemption may be given to the holders of Designated Preferred Stock at such time and in any manner permitted by such facility. Each notice of redemption given to a holder shall state: (1) the redemption date; (2) the number of shares of Designated Preferred Stock to be redeemed and, if less than all the shares held by such holder are to be redeemed, the number of such shares to be redeemed from such holder; (3) the redemption price; and (4) the place or places where certificates for such shares are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price.

          (d)           Partial Redemption . In case of any redemption of part of the shares of Designated Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, the shares to be redeemed shall be selected either pro rata or in such other manner as the Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee thereof may determine to be fair and equitable. Subject to the provisions hereof, the Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee thereof shall have full power and authority to prescribe the terms and conditions upon which shares of Designated Preferred Stock shall be redeemed from time to time. If fewer than all the shares represented by any certificate are redeemed, a new certificate shall be issued representing the unredeemed shares without charge to the holder thereof.

A-6


          (e)           Effectiveness of Redemption . If notice of redemption has been duly given and if on or before the redemption date specified in the notice all funds necessary for the redemption have been deposited by the Issuer, in trust for the pro rata benefit of the holders of the shares called for redemption, with a bank or trust company doing business in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and having a capital and surplus of at least $500 million and selected by the Board of Directors, so as to be and continue to be available solely therefor, then, notwithstanding that any certificate for any share so called for redemption has not been surrendered for cancellation, on and after the redemption date dividends shall cease to accrue on all shares so called for redemption, all shares so called for redemption shall no longer be deemed outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares shall forthwith on such redemption date cease and terminate, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive the amount payable on such redemption from such bank or trust company, without interest. Any funds unclaimed at the end of three years from the redemption date shall, to the extent permitted by law, be released to the Issuer, after which time the holders of the shares so called for redemption shall look only to the Issuer for payment of the redemption price of such shares.

          (f)           Status of Redeemed Shares . Shares of Designated Preferred Stock that are redeemed, repurchased or otherwise acquired by the Issuer shall revert to authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock ( provided that any such cancelled shares of Designated Preferred Stock may be reissued only as shares of any series of Preferred Stock other than Designated Preferred Stock).

          Section 7. Voting Rights.

          (a)           General . The holders of Designated Preferred Stock shall not have any voting rights except as set forth below or as otherwise from time to time required by law.

          (b)           Preferred Stock Directors . Whenever, at any time or times, dividends payable on the shares of Designated Preferred Stock have not been paid for an aggregate of six quarterly Dividend Periods or more, whether or not consecutive, the holders of the Designated Preferred Stock shall have the right, with holders of shares of any one or more other classes or series of Voting Parity Stock outstanding at the time, voting together as a class, to elect two directors (hereinafter the Preferred Directors and each a Preferred Director ) at the Issuer’s next annual meeting of stockholders (or at a special meeting called for that purpose prior to such next annual meeting) and at each subsequent annual meeting of stockholders until all accrued and unpaid dividends for all past Dividend Periods, including the latest completed Dividend Period (including, if applicable as provided in Section 3(a) above, dividends on such amount), on all outstanding shares of Designated Preferred Stock have been declared and paid in full at which time such right shall terminate with respect to the Designated Preferred Stock, except as herein or by law expressly provided, subject to revesting in the event of each and every subsequent default of the character above mentioned; provided that it shall be a qualification for election for any Preferred Director that the election of such Preferred Director shall not cause the Issuer to violate any corporate governance requirements of any securities exchange or other trading facility on which securities of the Issuer may then be listed or traded that listed or traded companies must have a majority of independent directors. Upon any termination of the right of the holders of shares of Designated Preferred Stock and Voting Parity Stock as a class to vote for directors as provided above, the Preferred Directors shall cease to be qualified as directors and the term of office of all Preferred Directors then in office shall terminate immediately. Any Preferred Director may be removed at any time, with or without cause, and any vacancy created thereby may be filled, only by the affirmative vote of the holders a majority of the shares of Designated Preferred Stock at the time outstanding voting separately as a class together with the holders of shares of Voting Parity Stock, to the extent the voting rights of such holders described above are then exercisable. If the office of any Preferred Director becomes vacant for any reason other than removal from office as aforesaid, the remaining Preferred Director may choose a successor who shall hold office for the unexpired term in respect of which such vacancy occurred.

A-7


          (c)           Class Voting Rights as to Particular Matters . So long as any shares of Designated Preferred Stock are outstanding, in addition to any other vote or written consent of stockholders required by law or by the Charter, the vote or written consent of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the shares of Designated Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, voting as a separate class, given in person or by proxy, either in writing without a meeting or by vote at any meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary for effecting or validating:

 

 

 

              (i)           Authorization of Senior Stock . Any amendment or alteration of the Certificate of Determination for the Designated Preferred Stock or the Charter to authorize or create or increase the authorized amount of, or any issuance of, any shares of, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of, any class or series of capital stock of the Issuer ranking senior to Designated Preferred Stock with respect to either or both the payment of dividends and/or the distribution of assets on any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Issuer;

 

 

 

             (ii)          Amendment of Designated Preferred Stock . Any amendment, alteration or repeal of any provision of the Certificate of Determination for the Designated Preferred Stock or the Charter (including, unless no vote on such merger or consolidation is required by Section 7(c)(iii) below, any amendment, alteration or repeal by means of a merger, consolidation or otherwise) so as to adversely affect the rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers of the Designated Preferred Stock; or

 

 

 

             (iii)         Share Exchanges, Reclassifications, Mergers and Consolidations . Any consummation of a binding share exchange or reclassification involving the Designated Preferred Stock, or of a merger or consolidation of the Issuer with another corporation or other entity, unless in each case (x) the shares of Designated Preferred Stock remain outstanding or, in the case of any such merger or consolidation with respect to which the Issuer is not the surviving or resulting entity, are converted into or exchanged for preference securities of the surviving or resulting entity or its ultimate parent, and (y) such shares remaining outstanding or such preference securities, as the case may be, have such rights, preferences, privileges and voting powers, and limitations and restrictions thereof, taken as a whole, as are not materially less favorable to the holders thereof than the rights, preferences, privileges and voting powers, and limitations and restrictions thereof, of Designated Preferred Stock immediately prior to such consummation, taken as a whole;

A-8


provided , however , that for all purposes of this Section 7(c), any increase in the amount of the authorized Preferred Stock, including any increase in the authorized amount of Designated Preferred Stock necessary to satisfy preemptive or similar rights granted by the Issuer to other persons prior to the Signing Date, or the creation and issuance, or an increase in the authorized or issued amount, whether pursuant to preemptive or similar rights or otherwise, of any other series of Preferred Stock, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any other series of Preferred Stock, ranking equally with and/or junior to Designated Preferred Stock with respect to the payment of dividends (whether such dividends are cumulative or non-cumulative) and the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Issuer will not be deemed to adversely affect the rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers, and shall not require the affirmative vote or consent of, the holders of outstanding shares of the Designated Preferred Stock.

          (d)           Changes after Provision for Redemption . No vote or consent of the holders of Designated Preferred Stock shall be required pursuant to Section 7(c) above if, at or prior to the time when any such vote or consent would otherwise be required pursuant to such Section, all outstanding shares of the Designated Preferred Stock shall have been redeemed, or shall have been called for redemption upon proper notice and sufficient funds shall have been deposited in trust for such redemption, in each case pursuant to Section 5 above.

          (e)           Procedures for Voting and Consents . The rules and procedures for calling and conducting any meeting of the holders of Designated Preferred Stock (including, without limitation, the fixing of a record date in connection therewith), the solicitation and use of proxies at such a meeting, the obtaining of written consents and any other aspect or matter with regard to such a meeting or such consents shall conform to the requirements of the Charter, the Bylaws, and applicable law and the rules of any national securities exchange or other trading facility on which Designated Preferred Stock is listed or traded at the time.

          Section 8. Record Holders . To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Issuer and the transfer agent for Designated Preferred Stock may deem and treat the record holder of any share of Designated Preferred Stock as the true and lawful owner thereof for all purposes, and neither the Issuer nor such transfer agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

          Section 9. Notices .

          Section 10. No Preemptive Rights . No share of Designated Preferred Stock shall have any rights of preemption whatsoever as to any securities of the Issuer, or any warrants, rights or options issued or granted with respect thereto, regardless of how such securities, or such warrants, rights or options, may be designated, issued or granted.

A-9


          Section 11. Replacement Certificates . The Issuer shall replace any mutilated certificate at the holder’s expense upon surrender of that certificate to the Issuer.

          Whenever the Exercise Price or the number of Shares into which this Warrant is exercisable shall be adjusted as provided in this Section 12, the Company shall forthwith file at the principal office of the Company a statement showing in reasonable detail the facts requiring such adjustment and the Exercise Price that shall be in effect and the number of Shares into which this Warrant shall be exercisable after such adjustment, and the Company shall also cause a copy of such statement to be sent by mail, first class postage prepaid, to each Warrantholder at the address appearing in the Company’s records.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

          Reference is made to that certain Letter Agreement incorporating the Securities Purchase Agreement – Standard Terms dated of even date herewith (the “ Securities Purchase Agreement ”) by and among United States Department of Treasury (“ Investor ”) and FNB Bancorp, a California corporation (“ Company ”). Investor and Company desire to set forth herein certain additional agreements regarding Company’s commitment to the holder of the Preferred Shares after the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement. Terms that are defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement are used in this letter agreement as so defined.

          In order to comply with California Corporations Code §212(a), the Company has modified section 7(b) of the Standard Provisions of each of the Certificate of Designations attached as Annex A and Annex B to the Securities Purchase Agreement (collectively, the “ Certificates of Designations ”) to provide in pertinent part as follows:

 

“Whenever, at any time or times, dividends payable on the shares of Designated Preferred Stock have not been paid for an aggregate of six quarterly Dividend Periods or more, whether or not consecutive, the holders of the Designated Preferred Stock shall have the right, with holders of shares of any one or more other classes or series of Voting Parity Stock outstanding at the time, voting together as a class, to elect two directors…”

          By its execution hereof, the Company hereby confirms and agrees that as of the date hereof and at all times while any shares of the Designated Preferred Stock (as defined in each Certificate of Designations) are outstanding or issuable upon exercise of the Warrant it shall maintain a range of directors of the Company that will permit the holder of the Preferred Shares to elect two directors in accordance with said sections 7(b). Currently Article III, Section 16 (the “ Applicable Provision ”) of the Company’s bylaws (the “ Bylaws ”) provides for a range of directors of no less than five (5) and no more than nine (9). At all times while any shares of the Designated Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company shall not fill more than seven (7) director positions. In the event the Company desires to increase the number of directors beyond seven (7), then the Company shall be required to amend the Bylaws to increase the maximum directors to always allow for at least two open director seats for the holders of the Preferred Shares to elect in accordance with Section 7(b) of the Standard Terms of the Certificate of Determination of Preferences of Series A Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock of FNB Bancorp and Section 7(b) of the Standard Terms of the Certificate of Determination of Preferences of Series B Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock of FNB Bancorp (and to amend the bylaws to provide that such provision may not be modified, amended or repealed by the Company’s board of directors (or any committee thereof) or without the affirmative vote and approval of (x) the shareholders and (y) the holders of at least a majority of the shares of Designated Preferred Stock outstanding at the time of such vote and approval).

          The parties hereto acknowledge that there would be no adequate remedy at law if the Company fails to perform any of its obligations under this letter agreement and that the Investor may be irreparably harmed by any such failure, and accordingly agree that the Investor, in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled at law or in equity, to the fullest extent permitted and enforceable under applicable law shall be entitled to compel specific performance of the obligations of the Company under this letter agreement without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of monetary damages as a remedy or the posting of a bond.

          This letter agreement and the Certificates of Designations constitute the entire agreement, and supersedes all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

          This letter agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. This letter agreement shall be governed in all respects, including as to validity, interpretation and effect, by the internal laws of the State of California, without giving effect to the conflict of laws rules thereof.

U NITED S TATES D EPARTMENT OF THE T REASURY
1500 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW
Washington, D.C. 20220

February __, 2009

Ladies and Gentlemen:

          Reference is made to that certain Letter Agreement incorporating the Securities Purchase Agreement – Standard Terms dated of as of the date of this letter agreement (the “ Securities Purchase Agreement ”) between United States Department of Treasury (“ Investor ”) and the company named on the signature page hereto (the “ Company ”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Securities Purchase Agreement.

          The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, as it may be amended from time to time (the “Act” ), includes provisions relating to executive compensation and other matters that may be inconsistent with the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Warrant and the Certificate[s] of Designation (the “Transaction Documents” ). Accordingly, Investor and the Company desire to confirm their understanding as follows:

          1.          Notwithstanding anything in the Transaction Documents to the contrary, in the event that the Act or any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder are inconsistent with any of the terms of the Transaction Documents, the Act and such rules and regulations shall control.

 

 

 

2.          For the avoidance of doubt (and without limiting the generality of Paragraph 1):

 

 

 

             (a)          the provisions of Section 111 of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, as amended by the Act or otherwise from time to time ( “EESA” ), shall apply to the Company;

 

 

 

             (b)          the waiver to be delivered by each of the Company’s Senior Executive Officers pursuant to Section 1.2(d)(v) of the Securities Purchase Agreement shall, in addition, be delivered by any additional highly compensated employees required by applicable rules or regulations under EESA;

 

 

 

             (c)          the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer shall provide the written certification of compliance by the Company with the requirements of Section 111 of EESA in the manner specified by Section 111(b)(4) thereunder or in any rules or regulations under EESA; and

 

 

 

             (d)          the Company shall be permitted to repay preferred shares, and when such preferred shares are repaid, the Investor shall liquidate warrants associated with such preferred shares, all in accordance with the Act and any rules and regulations thereunder.



          From and after the date hereof, each reference in the Securities Purchase Agreement to “this Agreement” or “this Securities Purchase Agreement” or words of like import shall mean and be a reference to the Agreement (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) as amended by this letter agreement.

          This letter agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the federal law of the United States if and to the extent such law is applicable, and otherwise in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely within such State.

          This letter agreement, the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Warrant, the Certificate[s] of Designation and any other documents executed by the parties at the Closing constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

          Nothing in this letter agreement shall be deemed an admission by Investor as to the necessity of obtaining the consent of the Company in order to effect the changes to the Transaction Documents contemplated by this letter agreement, nor shall anything in this letter agreement be deemed to require Investor to obtain the consent of any other TARP recipient (as defined in the Act) participating in the Capital Purchase Program (the “CPP” ) in order to effect changes to their documentation under the CPP.

          This letter agreement may be executed in any number of separate counterparts, each such counterpart being deemed to be an original instrument, and all such counterparts will together constitute the same agreement. Executed signature pages to this letter agreement may be delivered by facsimile and such facsimiles will be deemed sufficient as if actual signature pages had been delivered.

Exhibit 10.4

COMPENSATION MODIFICATION AGREEMENT

          THIS AGREEMENT (“Agreement”), made this 27th day of February, 2009, by and between FNB Bancorp, a California corporation, First National Bank of Northern California, a national banking association and its wholly owned subsidiary (together, the “Corporation”), and __________________________, a senior executive officer of the Corporation (“Executive”).

          WHEREAS, the Corporation has determined that it is in the best interests of the Corporation and its shareholders to participate in the Troubled Asset Relief Program Capital Purchase Program (“CPP”) of the United States Department of the Treasury (“UST”), pursuant to which the Corporation will issue to UST preferred stock (the “Preferred Stock”) in return for cash, along with a warrant to acquire additional shares of preferred stock (the “Warrant”); and

          WHEREAS, in order for the Corporation to participate in the CPP, the Corporation and its senior executive officers who are subject to the Compensation Guidelines (as defined below) must comply with Section 111(b) of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 regarding executive compensation and corporate governance and the related UST interim final regulations (31 CFR Part 30) published in the Federal Register on October 20, 2008 (the “Compensation Guidelines”); and

          WHEREAS, the Corporation is required to deliver a certificate to UST at the closing of the CPP transaction that it has complied with all the Compensation Guidelines; and

          WHEREAS, the board of directors of the Corporation has authorized and directed the Compensation Committee to take any and all the actions required under the Compensation Guidelines in order to enable the Corporation to deliver that certificate and has authorized the execution of this Agreement on behalf of the Corporation; and

          WHEREAS, in order to comply with the Compensation Guidelines for so long as UST holds securities of the Corporation acquired in the CPP, the Corporation, through the Compensation Committee, is required to review the Corporation’s compensation plans and policies with senior risk officers in order to identify and unilaterally eliminate any bonus plans or other incentive compensation arrangements for senior executive officers who are subject to the Compensation Guidelines that encourage such officers to take unnecessary and excessive risks that threaten the value of the financial institution; and

          WHEREAS, in order to comply with the Compensation Guidelines for so long as UST holds securities of the Corporation acquired in the CPP, the Corporation, through the Compensation Committee, must adopt appropriate provisions for the recovery by the Corporation of any bonus or incentive compensation paid to a senior executive officer who is subject to the Compensation Guidelines based on financial statements or performance metric criteria later determined to be materially inaccurate; and


          WHEREAS, in order to comply with the Compensation Guidelines as long for so UST holds securities of the Corporation acquired in the CPP, the Corporation is prohibited from making any golden parachute payment (as defined under the Compensation Guidelines) to any senior executive officer who is subject to the Compensation Guidelines; and

          WHEREAS, the Corporation is required to deliver to UST in connection with the consummation of the CPP transaction a waiver from each of its senior executive officers who are subject to the Compensation Guidelines with respect to the changes in the Corporation’s compensation plans, policies and practices as required by the Compensation Guidelines; and

          WHEREAS, the Compensation Committee has asked Executive to execute the waiver in the form attached; and

          WHEREAS, Executive believes the requirements imposed under the Compensation Guidelines in order for the Corporation to obtain government funds by participating in the CPP are reasonable and in the best interests of the Corporation and its shareholders and furthers the long-term best interests of the Corporation and its senior executive officers, including Executive.

          NOW, THEREFORE, to allow the Corporation to participate in the CPP for the mutual benefit of the Corporation, its shareholders and Executive, and for other good and valuable consideration, the Corporation and Executive hereby agree as follows:

          1.          GENERAL MODIFICATION OF EMPLOYMENT, COMPENSATION AND BENEFIT AGREEMENTS, PLANS AND POLICIES: Until such time as UST ceases to own any debt or equity securities of the Corporation acquired pursuant to the CPP, the Corporation and Executive agree that, notwithstanding any contract, plan, policy or agreement to the contrary, all employment, compensation and benefit agreements, plans and policies with respect to Executive shall be deemed modified to comply in all respects with Section 111(b) of EESA as implemented by any guidance or regulation thereunder that has been issued and is in effect as of the date the Corporation issues the Preferred Stock and the Warrant to UST. The Corporation and Executive further agree that the Corporation shall not adopt any new benefit plan with respect to Executive that does not comply with Section 111(b) of EESA as implemented by any guidance or regulation thereunder that has been issued and is in effect as of the date the Corporation issues the Preferred Stock and the Warrant to UST. Executive agrees that the Corporation, through its Compensation Committee, has the sole discretion: (a) to determine whether and to what extent any bonus or incentive compensation with respect to Executive encourages Executive to take unnecessary and excessive risks that threaten the value of the financial institution, and (b) to eliminate any such compensation as long as UST holds securities of the Corporation acquired in the CPP.

          2.          RECOVERY OF INCENTIVE COMPENSATION: Until such time as UST ceases to own any debt or equity securities of the Corporation acquired pursuant to the CPP, in the event Executive receives a bonus or any other incentive compensation from the Corporation based on financial statements or performance metric criteria later determined by the Corporation’s Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, to be materially inaccurate, Executive agrees to repay the Corporation, in cash and within 30 days of a written demand therefor, the amount of the bonus or incentive compensation received by Executive in excess of the amount that would have been paid to Executive had the inaccurate statements or criteria been accurate.


          3.          GOLDEN PARACHUTE PAYMENTS: Until such time as UST ceases to own any debt or equity securities of the Corporation acquired pursuant to the CPP, Executive agrees that: (a) Executive shall not be entitled to receive any golden parachute payment (as defined under the Compensation Guidelines) upon Executive’s severance from employment (as defined under the Compensation Guidelines) and (b) that all applicable contacts and agreements between Executive and the Corporation are deemed to be amended in this regard.

          4.          WAIVER: Executive hereby voluntarily waives any claim against the Corporation for any changes to my compensation, bonus, incentive and other benefit plans, arrangements, policies and agreements (including golden parachute agreements) that are required to comply with the Compensation Guidelines and that are made pursuant to this Agreement. This waiver includes all claims Executive may have under the laws of the United States or any state related to the requirements imposed by the Compensation Guidelines, including, without limitation, a claim for any compensation or other payments Executive would otherwise receive. Executive agrees to execute the required waiver in the form attached hereto and deliver said warrant to the Corporation no later than the close of business on February 26, 2009.

          5.          COVERED EMPLOYMENT, COMPENSATION AND BENEFIT AGREEMENTS, PLANS AND POLICIES: Executive acknowledges that all employment, compensation and benefit agreements, plans and policies applicable to Executive, including but not limited to those listed in Annex A hereto, are subject to the modifications and amendments provided for in this Agreement, to the extent applicable.

          6.          MODIFICATION - WAIVERS - APPLICABLE LAW: No provisions of this Agreement may be modified, waived or discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing, signed by Executive and on behalf of the Corporation by such officer as may be specifically designated by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. No waiver by either party hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto of, or in compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time. No agreements or representations, oral or otherwise, express or implied, with respect to the subject matter hereof have been made by either party which are not set forth expressly in this Agreement. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by federal law, to the extent applicable, and otherwise by the laws of the State of California.


          7.          INVALIDITY - ENFORCEABILITY: The invalidity or unenforceability of any provisions of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect. Any provision in this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating or affecting the remaining provisions of this Agreement, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

          8.          HEADINGS: Descriptive headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any provision in this Agreement.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement effective as of the date first above written.

SENIOR EXECUTIVE OFFICER WAIVER

          In consideration for the benefits I will receive as a result of my employer’s participation in the United States Department of the Treasury’s TARP Capital Purchase Program, I hereby voluntarily waive any claim against the United States or any state or territory thereof or my employer or any of its directors, officers, employees and agents for any changes to my compensation or benefits that are required in order to comply with Section 111(b) of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, as amended (“ EESA ”), and rules, regulations, guidance or other requirements issued thereunder (collectively, the “ EESA Restrictions ”).

          I acknowledge that the EESA Restrictions may require modification of the employment, compensation, bonus, incentive, severance, retention and other benefit plans, arrangements, policies and agreements (including so-called “golden parachute” agreements), whether or not in writing, that I have with my employer or in which I participate as they relate to the period the United States holds any equity or debt securities of my employer acquired through the TARP Capital Purchase Program and I hereby consent to all such modifications.  I further acknowledge and agree that if my employer notifies me in writing that I have received payments in violation of the EESA Restrictions, I shall repay the aggregate amount of such payments to my employer no later than fifteen business days following my receipt of such notice.

          This waiver includes all claims I may have under the laws of the United States or any other jurisdiction related to the requirements imposed by the EESA Restrictions (including without limitation, any claim for any compensation or other payments or benefits I would otherwise receive absent the EESA Restrictions, any challenge to the process by which the EESA Restrictions were adopted and any tort or constitutional claim about the effect of the foregoing on my employment relationship) and I hereby agree that I will not at any time initiate, or cause or permit to be initiated on my behalf, any such claim against the United States, my employer or its directors, officers, employees or agents in or before any local, state, federal or other agency, court or body.



          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I execute this waiver on my own behalf, thereby communicating my acceptance and acknowledgement to the provisions herein.

First National Bank of Northern California Announces Participation in the U.S. Treasury Capital Purchase Program

          FNB Bancorp (Bulletin Board: FNBG), parent company of First National Bank of Northern California, today announced it has received $12,000,000 through the sale of the Company’s newly authorized Preferred Stock under the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Capital Purchase Program. The Board of Directors approved the issuance of $12,000,000 dollars in senior preferred shares of FNB Bancorp and the issuance of a warrant covering another $600,000 in warrant preferred shares under standardized terms as described in the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s term sheet for private banks which is available on the U.S. Treasury’s website.

          “FNB Bancorp and our wholly owned subsidiary, First National Bank of Northern California, maintain strong capital positions and are “well-capitalized” by regulatory standards. We are financially secure and continue to actively work with any borrower that is having problems making their payments. Management and the Board carefully deliberated whether it was in the best interest of our shareholders and our customers to accept TARP funds that were made available to us by the U.S. Treasury. We concluded that accepting TARP funds makes sense so long as the funds are used as intended by Congress, which means the Bank will use this capital to increase our current lending volumes and to become part of the solution to the credit and liquidity problems that continue to play a part in our country’s current recession,” stated Tom McGraw, Chief Executive Officer.

          The following table provides information relative to FNB Bancorp’s capital positions, on a proforma basis, with and without the TARP program’s CPP funds.

          The money received under TARP through the CPP is not a government handout. There are significant costs we are required to pay. We will also be subjected to increased governmental scrutiny and contractual requirements that can be altered unilaterally at any time by the U.S. Treasury. For their investment, the U.S. Treasury will receive:

 

 

 

 

12,000 shares of senior preferred stock with a 5% coupon for 5 years and 9% thereafter. The shares have a liquidation value of $1,000 per share and these shares must be redeemed after ten years.

 

 

 

 

Warrant to purchase 600 shares of warrant preferred stock with a 9% stated coupon that has a liquidation value of $1,000 per share and a purchase price of $0.01 per share. The U.S. Treasury will purchase these shares immediately as part of this transaction.

          “If these shares remain outstanding for three years, the U.S. Treasury will receive an all-in dividend yield of 6.83%, which is significant. Given this cost, management and the Board of Directors elected to participate in this program in order to be able to provide our customers with additional credit and liquidity that might not otherwise be available to them. We cannot tell you what the magnitude or the duration of the current economic downturn will be. What we can tell you is that our family bank is a safe and well capitalized institution that believes in the value of prudent lending within our market area. The additional capital from the U.S. Treasury should allow us to expand our existing lending abilities at a time that our customers need the money,” stated Tom McGraw.


           Cautionary Statement: This release contains certain forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those stated herein. Management’s assumptions and projections are based on their anticipation of future events and actual performance may differ materially from those projected. Risks and uncertainties which could impact future financial performance include, among others, (a) competitive pressures in the banking industry; (b) changes in the interest rate environment; (c) general economic conditions, either nationally or regionally or locally, including fluctuations in real estate values; (d) changes in the regulatory environment; (e) changes in business conditions or the securities markets and inflation; (f) possible shortages of gas and electricity at utility companies operating in the State of California, and (g) the effects of terrorism, including the events of September 11, 2001, and thereafter, and the conduct of war on terrorism by the United States and its allies. Therefore, the information set forth herein, together with other information contained in the periodic reports filed by FNB Bancorp with the Securities and Exchange Commission, should be carefully considered when evaluating its business prospects. FNB Bancorp undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements contained in this release.


Exhibit 99.71

February 27, 2009

Dear Shareholder:

          I am writing you to inform you that FNB BANCORP has received $12 million in TARP funds from the United States Treasury Department. Our press release on this subject was issued today. Initially, we were approved for a larger investment, but the Board of Directors decided that $12 million was more prudent.

          I also want to address the public perception that only “troubled” financial institutions are receiving these funds. Quite the opposite is true. The Treasury has stated: “ The federal banking and thrift regulatory agencies encourage all eligible institutions to use the Treasury Department’s Capital Purchase Program and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program .” Not all banks qualify for TARP funds; only healthy banks that meet Treasury’s standards are awarded these funds. For the past forty six years our bank has done what we can to support our communities and our board felt strongly that we needed to continue to do our part by using these funds to maintain the flow of credit into our communities. The Independent Community Bankers of America in a recent release said: “ICBA notes that the program, (TARP) is not a blank check to financial institutions, but invests federal funds in healthy financial institutions to spur lending and revitalize communities.” We see our participation in this program as being part of the solution and doing what we can to help unlock frozen credit markets in the neighborhoods and communities we serve.

          In order to qualify for these funds, the Treasury Department requires each participant to have two vacant board seats available. TARP funds require dividend payments to the Treasury on a quarterly basis and should a participant miss six quarters of these dividend payments, the Treasury has the right to appoint two board members. Regardless of the fact that we have no intention of missing any of these payments and are well capitalized with significant liquidity, we still need to comply with this requirement of having two board seats available. As you may know, when Director Neil Vannucci retired two years ago, we elected not to fill his seat for strategic reasons. Were we to acquire another bank outside our existing geographic area, we wanted to preserve the option of filling that board seat with a director from the acquired bank for purposes of local business development and knowledge of the community. As such, our Holding Company, FNB Bancorp was one board seat shy of meeting the Treasury requirement.

          Jim Black, President of the Bank and a director of both the Bank and the Holding Company, volunteered to relinquish his seat on the Holding Company Board, as the Holding Company is the actual recipient of the TARP funds. The rest of the Board of Directors has accepted Mr. Black’s resignation from the Holding Company Board, effective February 26, 2009. Mr. Black will continue to serve as Bank President and as a Board member and Director of First National Bank of Northern California, but will abstain from voting on any issues affecting the Holding Company.


          Our annual proxy material will be submitted in advance of the May 2009 shareholder meeting and will include a Board recommendation for an amendment of the FNB Bancorp Bylaws, expanding the maximum number of board seats for the Holding Company by two; requiring a minimum of 6 seats while allowing a maximum of 11. This action will provide us with the two vacant seats Treasury requires, plus a board seat for Jim Black, along with an additional seat that can be filled in the future. After the shareholder vote, hopefully confirming this change, the Directors will re-appoint Mr. Black to the Board of the Holding Company.

          This process may seem a bit convoluted and you may be asking “why didn’t we call a special shareholder meeting to vote on this measure?” The Treasury mandated a thirty day timetable from approval to the closing of our TARP application. The 30 day time frame would neither allow us the time required to put together an expensive special shareholders meeting to change the Bylaws, or allow us to wait until the normal shareholder meeting in May to vote on the proposed change. The time sensitive solution was to vacate one FNB Bancorp board seat and Mr. Black volunteered to do so.

          While these are unprecedented economic times, First National Bank of Northern California’s banking practices did not create this financial tidal wave; however, we sincerely hope and believe that our continued safe and sound Main Street lending practices will assist in the enormous effort needed to help lead our communities out of this recession. That is our commitment to our shareholders and to our fellow Americans. It is simply the right thing to do! Thank you for your support and we hope to see you at our shareholder meeting on May 20 th , at 6:30P.M. at the Basque Cultural Center, 599 Railroad Avenue in South San Francisco. Should you have any questions, I can be reached at 650-875-4865 or at tmcgraw@fnbnorcal.com .

Sincerely,

Tom McGraw
Chief Executive Officer
