(2) This Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 covers securities that were originally registered on F.N.B. Corporation’s Registration Statement on Form S-4 (Registration No. 333-186159), as amended, filed on February 25, 2013. All filing fees payable in connection with the issuance of these securities were previously paid in connection with the initial filing of F.N.B. Corporation’s Registration Statement on Form S-4 (Registration No. 333-186159) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 23, 2013.

The registrant hereby amends this registration statement on such date or dates as may be necessary to delay its effective date until the registrant shall file a further amendment which specifically states that this registration statement shall thereafter become effective in accordance with Section 8(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 or until the registration statement shall become effective on such date as the Securities and Exchange Commission, acting pursuant to said Section 8(a), may determine.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

F.N.B. Corporation, a Florida corporation, hereby amends its Registration Statement on Form S-4 (Registration No. 333-186159), as amended by pre-effective amendment no. 1 and by post-effective amendment no. 1 on Form S-8, by filing this post-effective amendment no. 2 on Form S-3.

The Form S-4 related to 4,716,000 shares of F.N.B. common stock to be issued by F.N.B. in connection with its acquisition of Annapolis Bancorp, Inc., a Maryland corporation. In the acquisition, Annapolis Bancorp was merged with and into F.N.B., with F.N.B. being the surviving corporation. The merger consideration paid by F.N.B. for each share of Annapolis Bancorp common stock cancelled in the merger (excepting shares held by F.N.B., Annapolis Bancorp and their subsidiaries) was 1.143 shares of F.N.B. common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and $0.15 in cash. The shares registered on the Form S-4 consisted of: (A) shares to be distributed at the time of the merger in exchange for cancellation of the outstanding shares of Annapolis Bancorp common stock; and (B) shares reserved for issuance under various equity-based compensation plans. Those equity-based compensation plans were assumed by F.N.B. upon completion of the merger. All outstanding Annapolis Bancorp stock options and share awards outstanding at the effective time of the merger then became stock options and share awards with respect to shares of F.N.B. common stock, based on a formula described in the Form S-4.

The acquisition was completed on April 6, 2013.

This post-effective amendment no. 2 on Form S-3 relates to 10,158 shares of F.N.B.’s common stock in the aggregate, which are reserved for issuance by F.N.B. upon the exercise or settlement of stock options issued under the Annapolis National Bancorp, Inc. 2000 Stock Incentive Plan, all of which stock options are held by a former director of Annapolis Bancorp. All such shares of common stock were originally registered on the Form S-4.

The information in this prospectus is not complete and may be changed. F.N.B. Corporation may not issue these securities until the registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission becomes effective. This prospectus is not an offer to sell these securities and it is not soliciting an offer to buy these securities in any state where the offer or sale is not permitted.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus contains a number of forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 regarding the financial condition, results of operations, earnings outlook, business and prospects of F.N.B. You can find many of these statements by looking for words such as “plan,” “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project,” “potential,” “possible” or other similar expressions.

These forward-looking statements involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions. The ability of F.N.B. to predict results or the actual effects of its plans and strategies is inherently uncertain. Accordingly, actual results may differ materially from anticipated results. Some of the factors that may cause actual results or earnings to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and elsewhere, which are incorporated by reference in this prospectus, as well as the factors identified below.

• F.N.B.’s businesses, financial results and balance sheet values are affected by business and economic conditions, including the following:

• Changes in interest rates and valuations in debt, equity and other financial markets.

• Disruptions in the liquidity and other functioning of U.S. and global financial markets.

• Actions by the Federal Reserve Board, U.S. Department of the Treasury and other government agencies, including those that impact money supply and market interest rates.

• Changes in customers’, suppliers’ and other counterparties’ performance and creditworthiness which adversely affect loan utilization rates, delinquencies, defaults and counterparty ability to meet credit and other obligations.

• Slowing or failure of the current moderate economic recovery and persistence or worsening levels of unemployment.

• Changes in customer preferences and behavior, whether due to changing business and economic conditions, legislative and regulatory initiatives, or other factors.

2

• Legal and regulatory developments could affect F.N.B.’s ability to operate its businesses, financial condition, results of operations, competitive position, reputation, or pursuit of attractive acquisition opportunities. Reputational impacts could affect matters such as business generation and retention, liquidity, funding, and ability to attract and retain management. These developments could include:

• Changes resulting from legislative and regulatory reforms, including broad-based restructuring of financial industry regulation; changes to laws and regulations involving tax, pension, bankruptcy, consumer protection, and other industry aspects; and changes in accounting policies and principles. F.N.B. will continue to be impacted by extensive reforms provided for in the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and otherwise growing out of the recent financial crisis, the precise nature, extent and timing of which, and their impact on F.N.B., remains uncertain.

• Changes to regulations governing bank capital and liquidity standards, including due to the Dodd-Frank Act and to Basel III initiatives.

• Impact on business and operating results of any costs associated with obtaining rights in intellectual property, the adequacy of F.N.B.’s intellectual property protection in general and rapid technological developments and changes. F.N.B.’s ability to anticipate and respond to technological changes can also impact its ability to respond to customer needs and meet competitive demands.

• Business and operating results are affected by F.N.B.’s ability to identify and effectively manage risks inherent in its businesses, including, where appropriate, through effective use of third-party insurance, derivatives, swaps, and capital management techniques, and to meet evolving regulatory capital standards.

• Increased competition, whether due to consolidation among financial institutions; realignments or consolidation of branch offices, legal and regulatory developments, industry restructuring or other causes, can have an impact on customer acquisition, growth and retention and on credit spreads and product pricing, which can affect market share, deposits and revenues.

• F.N.B. seeks to grow its business in part by acquiring other financial services companies, financial services assets and related deposits. These acquisitions often present risks and uncertainties, including, the possibility that the transaction cannot be consummated; regulatory issues; cost, or difficulties, involved in integration and conversion of the acquired businesses after closing; inability to realize expected cost savings, efficiencies and strategic advantages; the extent of credit losses in acquired loan portfolios and extent of deposit attrition; and the potential dilutive effect to current shareholders. Some of the risks and uncertainties involved in F.N.B.’s most recent acquisitions are as follows:

• The Annapolis, Maryland market is a new market area for F.N.B., and F.N.B. may experience difficulties in expanding into this more competitive market, such as failure to retain customers and key personnel of Annapolis Bancorp and its subsidiary, BankAnnapolis.

• F.N.B.’s pending acquisition of PVF Capital Corp., the parent company of Park View Federal Savings Bank, is anticipated to close within six months of the closing of its acquisition of Annapolis Bancorp. F.N.B. may experience difficulties, whether due to a shortage of management and personnel resources or other factors, in integrating the businesses of PVF Capital within a short time period after commencement of the integration process for the businesses of Annapolis Bancorp.

3

• Competition can have an impact on customer acquisition, growth and retention and on credit spreads and product pricing, which can affect market share, deposits and revenues. Industry restructuring in the current environment could also impact F.N.B.’s business and financial performance through changes in counterparty creditworthiness and performance and the competitive and regulatory landscape. F.N.B.’s ability to anticipate and respond to technological changes can also impact its ability to respond to customer needs and meet competitive demands.

• Business and operating results can also be affected by widespread disasters, dislocations, cyber attacks, terrorist activities or international hostilities through their impacts on the economy and financial markets.

Because these forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed in or implied by these forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on these statements, which speak only as of the date of this prospectus or as of the date of any document incorporated by reference in this prospectus.

All forward-looking statements concerning the merger or other matters addressed in this prospectus and attributable to F.N.B. or any person acting on F.N.B.’s behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. Unless required by applicable law or regulation, F.N.B. undertakes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this prospectus or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

This prospectus covers the shares of F.N.B. common stock that are reserved for issuance upon exercise of stock options which were awarded to a former director of Annapolis Bancorp under the Annapolis National Bancorp, Inc. 2000 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and assumed by F.N.B. in connection with its acquisition of Annapolis Bancorp. F.N.B. is offering those shares of its common stock directly to the holder of the stock options according to the terms of the award agreement governing his stock options. F.N.B. is not using an underwriter in connection with this offering.

USE OF PROCEEDS

Upon the exercise of options granted under the Plan, F.N.B. will receive the adjusted exercise price of these options, as described below. F.N.B. intends to use the proceeds from the option exercises for working capital and general corporate purposes.

DESCRIPTION OF THE AWARDS

Effect of the Merger on the Awards

On October 22, 2012, Annapolis Bancorp and F.N.B. entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, which provided for Annapolis Bancorp to be merged with and into F.N.B., with F.N.B. being the surviving corporation. The merger agreement contains the terms and conditions for the merger, including the treatment of Annapolis Bancorp stock options and other equity-based compensation awards in the merger. The merger of Annapolis Bancorp into F.N.B. became effective on April 6, 2013, and caused the following to occur at the time the merger became effective:

• Each outstanding share of Annapolis Bancorp common stock (other than shares owned by F.N.B. or Annapolis Bancorp or their subsidiaries) was converted into the right to receive shares of F.N.B. common stock, par value $0.01 per share, plus $0.15 in cash. We used a fixed exchange ratio of 1.143 shares of F.N.B. common stock for each share of Annapolis Bancorp common stock to determine the amount of F.N.B. common stock to be exchanged in the merger.

5

• The outstanding options issued under the equity-based compensation plans of Annapolis Bancorp no longer can be exercised for shares of Annapolis Bancorp common stock. Each of these options was converted into an option to acquire shares of F.N.B. common stock under the same terms and conditions that were in effect immediately before the merger, except for the following adjustments made to reflect the exchange ratio:

• The number of shares of F.N.B. common stock purchasable under the option will be equal to the number of shares of Annapolis Bancorp common stock for which the option was previously exercisable multiplied by 1.143 (and rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of F.N.B. common stock).

• The exercise price will be equal to the exercise price per share in effect immediately before the merger divided by 1.143 (and rounded up to the nearest whole cent).

• Each share award relating to Annapolis Bancorp common stock, including those designated as performance share awards, was converted into the right to receive a number of shares of F.N.B. common stock equal to 1.143 multiplied by the number of shares of Annapolis Bancorp common stock underlying the award, subject to any tax withholding requirements. Each share award otherwise will remain subject to the same restrictions, vesting and other terms and conditions that applied to the award before the merger.

Pursuant to the merger agreement, the Plan is continuing in existence after the merger. F.N.B. assumed Annapolis Bancorp’s obligations under the Plan and will continue to administer the Plan until all outstanding awards under the Plan are exercised or expire. No new options or other awards will be granted under the Plan. This prospectus is being sent to all holders of awards under the Plan who did not become employees or directors of F.N.B. at the time of the merger. The following section of this prospectus is a summary of the terms on which you may acquire shares of F.N.B. common stock under the Plan following the merger. The following summary is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the full text of the Plan, which is incorporated by reference into this prospectus. See “Information Incorporated by Reference” for information on how to obtain a copy of the Plan.

Administration of the Plans

Since the merger, the Plan is being administered by the Compensation Committee of F.N.B.’s Board of Directors. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Compensation Committee has the authority to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and any award agreements under the Plan, adjust or modify award agreements for changes in applicable law and take any other action that the Compensation Committee considers to be necessary or advisable to administer the Plan. The members of the Compensation Committee are recommended by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of Board of Directors in consultation with the Chairman of the Board of Directors, and approved by the full Board of Directors. The Compensation Committee is comprised of at least three members of F.N.B.’s Board of Directors who are not currently employees of F.N.B. The members of the Compensation Committee serve for such terms as the Board of Directors may determine and until their successors are duly qualified and appointed. The Compensation Committee is constituted to satisfy the disinterested administration standard set forth in Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. However, the Compensation Committee may have one member who does not qualify as an “outside director” under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, so long as such person does not vote on compensation-related matters.

Types of Awards

The only award currently outstanding under the Plan is a non-qualified stock option. This award is governed by the award agreement entered into by the award holder and Annapolis Bancorp and the terms of the Plan under which the award was issued.

The shares of F.N.B. common stock issuable upon exercise of the option under the Plan may be authorized but unissued shares.

6

Stock Options

Change in Control; Vesting; Exercise Period. The outstanding option under the Plan became immediately exercisable upon the signing of the merger agreement between F.N.B. and Annapolis Bancorp. The option may be exercised for 90 days following the date of termination of the holder’s service with Annapolis Bancorp.

Exercise Price. The exercise price of the non-qualified stock option under the Plan was set at the fair market value of a share of Annapolis Bancorp common stock at the date of grant, and is subject to adjustment to give effect to the merger with F.N.B. as described above.

How to Exercise Your Option. To exercise your stock option, you will need to give F.N.B. written notice of your intent to exercise your option, specifying the number of shares that you wish to purchase. Your notice must be accompanied by your payment of the exercise price. You may pay the exercise price by any one or several of the following methods:

• You may deliver cash.

• You may deliver shares of F.N.B. common stock that you already own, as long as the fair market value of those shares on the date of delivery, together with any cash you deliver, is equal to the exercise price of the option. For this method of payment, you are permitted to deliver shares that you acquired pursuant to the exercise of an option.

• You may choose to use a “cashless” exercise method, as follows: When you deliver your exercise notice to F.N.B., you must simultaneously deliver irrevocable instructions to a broker-dealer that direct the broker-dealer (A) to sell the shares that you’re going to acquire by exercising your option, and (B) to pay the exercise price to F.N.B. by remitting to F.N.B. an amount of the sale proceeds that is equal to the aggregate exercise price, plus applicable withholding taxes. You will receive the balance of the sale proceeds (less commission and brokerage fees) or any shares resulting from the option exercise that did not need to be sold to cover the exercise price.

However, the Plan also provides that F.N.B. may require the exercise price to be paid entirely in cash, and refuse to recognize any other method of exercising the option.

Withholding

Under the Plan, the holder of a non-qualified option may choose to satisfy the withholding tax obligations that result from the exercise of the option by having F.N.B. withhold, out of the shares of F.N.B. common stock that are deliverable to him in connection with the option exercise, a sufficient number of the shares to pay the withholding tax. The holder must make this election at or prior to the time he delivers his exercise notice to F.N.B. The number of shares of F.N.B. common stock to be withheld will be determined based on the fair market value of a share of F.N.B. common stock on the date of the exercise notice. As an alternative, the holder may deliver previously owned shares of F.N.B. common stock to F.N.B. at the time he exercises the option to satisfy his withholding tax obligations. In general, the maximum number of shares that the option holder may elect to have withheld will be equal to the minimum federal and state withholding. However, the Plan permits the Compensation Committee or Board of Directors to limit or eliminate entirely the holder’s ability to pay his withholding tax obligation with shares of common stock by including a provision to that effect in the holder’s award agreement. Even if such a provision is not included in an award agreement, at or prior to the exercise of the option, the Compensation Committee or the Board of Directors may limit or eliminate the holder’s ability to pay his withholding tax obligation with shares of common stock if, in the opinion of the Compensation Committee or Board of Directors, it would have an adverse tax or accounting effect to F.N.B.

Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization, Etc.

If there is any change in our common stock by reason of any stock dividend, stock split or any other capital adjustment, or upon a combination, consolidation, reorganization or similar transaction, the Compensation Committee will make adjustments in the number and kind of shares reserved for purchase pursuant to the Plans,

and in the number, kind and price of shares covered by the awards that are then outstanding, as the Compensation Committee may determine to be equitable and appropriate, if at all, in order to reflect any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of F.N.B. common stock resulting from that change.

Transferability of Awards

In general, the options and the restricted share units are not transferable except by will or the laws of descent or distribution, but there are some exceptions to this general rule. A non-qualified stock option granted under the Plan may be transferred by the option holder to a member of his or her immediate family (i.e., spouse, children, stepchildren, parents, grandchildren and great grandchildren) or to a trust established for the benefit of one or more of these individuals.

Amendment or Termination of Plans

The term of the Plan ended in 2010. As a result, new awards cannot be granted under the Plan. The Board of Directors of F.N.B. has the right to amend the terms of the Plan, unless the amendment would (A) revoke or alter an existing option, (B) increase the number of shares of F.N.B. common stock to be reserved for options, (C) decrease the exercise price, or (D) permit the exercise of options more than 10 years after the date of grant.

Non-Qualified and Unfunded

The Plan is unfunded and does not give you any rights that are superior to those of F.N.B.’s general creditors. The Plan is not subject to the provisions of the Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and is not qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

DESCRIPTION OF COMMON STOCK

General. F.N.B. is authorized to issue 500 million shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of which 139,929,242 shares were outstanding as of December 31, 2012. In connection with the completion of the merger of Annapolis Bancorp with and into F.N.B. on April 6, 2013, F.N.B. issued an additional 4,641,412 shares of its common stock.

As of December 31, 2012, F.N.B. had reserved approximately 4,633,090 shares of its common stock for issuance under employee stock plans and warrants issued to the U.S. Treasury in connection with the Capital Purchase Program of the Troubled Asset Relief Program. F.N.B. has also reserved approximately 8,828,216 shares of its common stock for issuance in connection with the pending merger between PVF Capital Corp. and F.N.B., which is anticipated to close in October 2013. After taking into account these issued and reserved shares, F.N.B. will have approximately 341,968,040 shares of authorized but unissued common stock available for issuance for other corporate purposes.

F.N.B. common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “FNB.” The transfer agent and registrar for F.N.B. common stock is Registrar and Transfer Company.

Voting and Other Rights. The holders of F.N.B. common stock have one vote per share, and in general a majority of the votes cast with respect to a matter is sufficient to authorize action upon routine matters. Directors are elected by a plurality of votes cast, and each shareholder entitled to vote in an election of directors is entitled to vote each share of stock for each of the candidates for election as directors. However, shareholders do not have the right to cumulate their votes in elections of directors.

In the event of a liquidation, holders of F.N.B. common stock are entitled to receive pro rata any assets legally available for distribution to shareholders with respect to the F.N.B. shares they hold, subject to any prior rights of the holders of any F.N.B. preferred stock then outstanding.

F.N.B. common stock does not carry any preemptive rights, redemption privileges, sinking fund privileges or conversion rights. All outstanding shares of F.N.B. common stock are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

8

Distributions. The holders of F.N.B. common stock are entitled to receive such dividends or distributions as the F.N.B. board of directors may declare out of funds legally available for such payments. The payment of distributions by F.N.B. is subject to the restrictions under the Florida Business Corporation Act applicable to the declaration of distributions by a business corporation. A corporation generally may not authorize and make distributions if, after giving effect thereto, it would be unable to meet its debts as they become due in the usual course of business or if the corporation’s total assets would be less than the sum of its total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed, if it were to be dissolved at the time of distribution, to satisfy the claims upon dissolution of those shareholders who have preferential rights superior to the rights of the holders of its common stock. In addition, the payment of distributions to shareholders is subject to any prior rights of any then-outstanding F.N.B. preferred stock. Stock dividends, if any are declared, may be paid from authorized but unissued shares.

The ability of F.N.B. to pay distributions is affected by the ability of its subsidiaries to pay dividends to F.N.B. The ability of F.N.B.’s subsidiaries, as well as of F.N.B., to pay dividends in the future is influenced by bank regulatory requirements and capital guidelines.

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

The following discussion is intended only as a summary of the general U.S. income tax laws that apply to the outstanding stock option and the sale of any shares acquired through that award. This summary applies only to U.S. taxpayers. Different tax consequences may result from different circumstances. For example, if you are not a U.S. taxpayer, the taxing jurisdiction or jurisdictions that apply to you will determine the tax effects that apply to you. This summary is based on U.S. federal income tax laws in effect as of the date of this prospectus.

Tax laws are complex and subject to change. State and local taxes also may apply, and the rules governing such taxes may vary from federal income tax rules. Your actual income tax consequences depend upon your individual circumstances. Accordingly, F.N.B. strongly urges you to seek the advice of a qualified tax adviser regarding your own particular situation.

The following discussion assumes that the per share exercise price of an option is less than the fair market value of a share on the date of exercise.

Non-Qualified Stock Options

A participant in the Plan should not recognize income at the time of grant of a nonqualified stock option, and F.N.B. should not be entitled to a deduction at that time. When the nonqualified stock option is exercised, the participant should recognize ordinary income equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise over the exercise price, if any. The participant’s tax basis in these shares should equal the exercise price paid plus the amount recognized by the participant as ordinary income. F.N.B. should generally be entitled to a federal income tax deduction in F.N.B.’s tax year in which the nonqualified stock option is exercised, which is equal to the ordinary income recognized by the participant as described above. If the participant holds the shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of a nonqualified stock option for more than one year after the exercise of the option, the capital gain or loss realized upon the sale of these shares should be a long-term capital gain or loss. The participant’s holding period for the shares acquired upon the exercise of a nonqualified stock option should begin on the date of exercise.

Payment with Shares

When shares subject to an award are used to satisfy any minimum required tax withholding, the participant will generally recognize gain or loss with respect to those shares. In this situation, the participant will recognize a short-term capital gain or loss, as the case may be, equal to the difference between the amount of the minimum required tax withholding satisfied by the shares over the participant’s tax basis, if any, in those shares.

9

If the participant uses shares he or she owns to pay, in whole or part, the exercise price of an option, no gain or loss will be recognized with respect to these shares. In this situation, however, the tax basis of the shares received upon exercise will be the tax basis of the shares delivered as payment, share for share, to the extent the number of shares received equals the number of shares delivered as payment. The tax basis of the balance of shares received in excess of the number of shares delivered by the participant will be equal to the sum of the amount of the exercise price paid in cash, if any, plus any amount the participant is required to recognize as income as a result of the exercise.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

The Florida Business Corporations Act, as amended (the “FBCA”), provides that, in general, a business corporation may indemnify any person who is or was a party to any proceeding, other than an action by, or in the right of, the corporation, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the corporation, against liability incurred in connection with such proceeding, including any appeal thereof, provided certain standards are met, including that such officer or director acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, and provided further that, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, the officer or director had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. In the case of proceedings by or in the right of the corporation, the FBCA provides that, in general, a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party to any such proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the corporation against expenses and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such proceeding, including any appeal thereof, provided that such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made with respect to any claim as to which such person is adjudged liable, unless a court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity. To the extent that any officer or director is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any of such proceedings, the FBCA requires that the corporation indemnify such officer or director against expenses actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith. However, the FBCA further provides that, in general, indemnification or advancement of expenses shall not be made to or on behalf of any officer or director if a judgment or other final adjudication establishes that his or her actions, or omissions to act, were material to the cause of action so adjudicated and constitute: (i) a violation of the criminal law, unless the director or officer had reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was lawful or had no reasonable cause to believe it was unlawful; (ii) a transaction from which the director or officer derived an improper personal benefit; (iii) in the case of a director, a circumstance under which the director has voted for or assented to a distribution made in violation of the FBCA or the corporation’s articles of incorporation; or (iv) willful misconduct or a conscious disregard for the best interests of the corporation in a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor or in a proceeding by or in the right of a shareholder.

The Registrant’s articles of incorporation provide that the Registrant shall indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law in connection with any actual or threatened action, suit or proceeding, civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other, whether brought by or in the right of the Registrant or otherwise, arising out of the service to the Registrant or to another organization at the Registrant’s request, or because of their positions with the Registrant. The Registrant’s articles of incorporation further provide that the Registrant may purchase and maintain insurance to protect itself and any such director or officer against any liability, cost or expense asserted against or incurred by him or her with respect to such service, whether or not the Registrant would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability by law or under the provisions of this paragraph.

II - 1

The Registrant’s bylaws provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, no director of the Registrant shall be personally liable for monetary damages for any action taken or any failure to take any action.

Item 16. Exhibits.

The exhibits to this registration statement are listed in the Exhibit Index to this registration statement, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 17. 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;

(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 thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective 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), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form F-3 and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of 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 thereof.

(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.

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:

(i) If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

II - 2

(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:

The undersigned Registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

(iv) any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

(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 Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the 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 thereof.

(c) 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 foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC 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 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

ANNAPOLIS NATIONAL BANCORP, INC.

2000 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

1. Purpose

The proper execution of the duties and responsibilities of the directors, executives, and employees of Annapolis National Bancorp, Inc. (the “Corporation”) and its subsidiaries is a vital factor in the continued growth and success of the Corporation. Toward this end, it is necessary to attract and retain effective and capable individuals to assume positions that contribute materially to the successful operation of the business of the Corporation and its subsidiaries. It will benefit the Corporation, therefore, to bind the interests of these persons more closely to its own interests by offering them an attractive opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the Corporation and thereby provide them with added incentive to remain in the service of the Corporation and its subsidiaries and to increase the prosperity, growth, and earnings of the Corporation. This stock option plan is intended to serve these purposes.

combined voting power of the voting securities of the Corporation or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger, share exchange or consolidation, or the stockholders of the Corporation approve a plan of complete liquidation of the Corporation or any agreements for the sale or disposition by the Corporation of all or substantially all the Corporation’s assets.

3. Effective Date of the Plan

The Plan shall become effective upon stockholder approval, provided that such approval is received before March 24, 2001, and provided further that the Board of Directors may grant Options pursuant to the Plan prior to stockholder approval if such Options by their terms are contingent upon subsequent stockholder approval of the Plan.

4. Administration

(a) The Plan shall be administered by the Committee, provided that the Board may act in lieu of the Committee on any matter within the Committee’s discretion or authority.

(b) The Committee may establish, from time to time and at any time subject to the limitations of the Plan as set forth herein, such rules and regulations and amendments and supplements thereto as it deems necessary to comply with applicable law and regulation and for the proper administration of the Plan. A majority of the members of the Committee shall constitute a quorum. The vote of a majority of a quorum shall constitute action by the Committee.

(c) The Committee shall from time to time submit to the Board of Directors for its approval the names of those directors, executives, and employees who, in its opinion, should receive Options, and shall recommend the numbers of shares on which Options should be granted to each such person and the nature of the Options to be granted.

(d) Options shall be granted by the Committee and shall become effective only after execution of an Option Agreement between the Corporation and the Option holder.

(e) The Committee’s interpretation and construction of the provisions of the Plan and the rules and regulations adopted by the Committee shall be final, unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors. No member of the Committee or the Board of Directors shall be liable for any action or determination made, in respect of the Plan, in good faith.

5. Participation in the Plan

(a) Participation in the Plan shall be limited to the employees and directors of the Corporation and its subsidiaries who shall be designated by the Committee.

6. Stock Subject to the Plan

(a) There shall be reserved for the granting of Awards pursuant to the Plan and for issuance and sale pursuant to such Awards 200,000 shares of Common Stock. To determine the number of shares of Common Stock available at any time for the granting of Awards, there shall be deducted from the total number of reserved shares of Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock in respect of which Awards have been granted pursuant to the Plan that are still outstanding or have been exercised. The shares of Common Stock to be issued upon the exercise or vesting of Awards shall be made available from the authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock. If for any reason shares of Common Stock as to which an Award has been granted cease to be subject to purchase or delivery to Award holders thereunder, then such shares of Common Stock again shall be available for issuance pursuant to new Awards.

(b) Proceeds from the purchase of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of Options granted pursuant to the Plan shall be used for the general business purposes of the Corporation.

(c) In the event of the reorganization, recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend, combination of shares of Common Stock, merger, consolidation, share exchange acquisition of property or stock, or any change in the capital structure of the Corporation, the Committee shall make such adjustments as may be equitable and appropriate in the number and kind of shares reserved for purchases by directors, executives or other employees, in the number, kind and price of shares covered by Awards granted pursuant to the Plan and then outstanding.

7. Terms and Conditions of Options

(a) Each Option granted pursuant to the Plan shall be evidenced by an Option agreement in such form as the Committee from time to time may determine.

(b) The exercise price per share for Options shall be established by the Board of Directors upon the recommendation of the Committee at the time of the grant of Options pursuant to the Plan and shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date on which the Option is granted. If the Board of Directors does not establish a specific exercise price per share at the time of grant, the exercise price per share shall be equal to the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant of the Options.

(c) Each Option, subject to the other limitations set forth in the Plan, may extend for a period of up to 10 years from the date on which it is granted. The term of each Option shall be determined by the Board of Directors at the time of grant of the Option, provided that if no term is established by the Board of Directors the term of the Option shall be 10 years from the date on which it is granted.

(d) The Board of Directors upon recommendation of the Committee, may provide in the Option Agreement that the right to exercise each Option for the number of shares subject to each Option shall vest, in the Option holder over such period of time as the Committee, in its discretion, shall determine for each Option holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Option Agreement shall provide that, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control of the Corporation, all Options then outstanding shall become immediately exercisable.

(e) Options shall be nontransferable and nonassignable, except that Options may be transferred by testamentary instrument or by the laws of descent and distribution, and Nonqualified Stock Options may be transferred to family members or family trusts, subject to the original terms of the Option.

(f) Unless the Committee specifies otherwise in an Option agreement, upon voluntary or involuntary termination of an Option holder’s service with the Corporation, his Options and all rights thereunder shall terminate effective at the close of business on the date the Option holder ceases to be a Director or regular, full-time employee of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, except (i) to the extent previously exercised and (ii) as provided in subparagraphs (g), (h) and (i) of this Paragraph 7.

(g) In the event an Option holder (i) takes a leave of absence from the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries for personal reasons or as a result of entry into the armed forces of the United States, or any of the departments or agencies of the United States government, or (ii) terminates his employment, or ceases providing services to the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, by reason of death, disability, voluntary termination with the consent of the Committee, or other special circumstances, the Committee may consider his case and may take such action in respect of the related Option Agreement as it may deem appropriate under the circumstances, including accelerating the time previously granted for Options to be exercised and extending the time following the Option holder’s termination of active employment or service during which the Option holder is entitled to purchase the shares of Common Stock subject to such Options, provided that in no event may any Option be exercised after the expiration of the time of the Option.

(h) If an Option holder dies during the term of his Option without having fully exercised this Option, the executor or administrator of his estate or the person who inherits the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance shall have the right within two years of the Option holder’s death to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock that the deceased Option holder was entitled to purchase at the date of his death, after which the Option shall lapse, provided that in no event may any Option be exercised after the expiration of the term of the Option.

(i) If an Option holder terminates employment without his having fully exercised his Option due to his retirement with the consent of the Corporation, then such Option holder shall have the right within ninety (90) days of the Option holder’s termination of employment or service to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock that the Option holder was entitled to purchase at the date of his termination, after which the Option shall lapse, provided that in no event may any Option be exercised after the expiration of the term of the Option. The Committee may cancel the Option during the ninety-day period referred to in this paragraph, if the Participant engages in employment or activities, which, in the opinion of the Committee, are contrary to the best interests of the Corporation. The Committee shall determine in each case whether a termination of employment or service shall be considered a retirement with the consent of the Corporation, and, subject to applicable law, whether a leave of absence shall constitute a termination of employment. Any such determination of the Committee shall be final and conclusive, unless overruled by the Board.

(j) The granting of an Option pursuant to the Plan shall not constitute or be evidence of any agreement or understanding, express or implied, on the part of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries to retain or employ the Option holder for any specified period.

(k) In addition to the general terms and conditions set forth in this Paragraph 7 in respect of Options granted pursuant to the Plan, Incentive Stock Options granted pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to the following additional terms and conditions:

(i) “Incentive Stock Options” shall be granted only to individuals who, at the date of grant of the Option, are employees of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries;

(ii) No employee who owns beneficially more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Corporation shall be eligible to be granted an “Incentive Stock Option;”

(iii) The aggregate fair market value (determined at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted) of the shares of Common Stock in respect of which “Incentive Stock Options” are exercisable for the first time by the Option holder during any calendar year (under all such plans of the Corporation and its subsidiaries) shall not exceed $100,000; and

(iv) Any other terms and conditions specified by the Board of Directors that are not inconsistent with the Plan, except that such terms and conditions must be consistent with the requirements for “Incentive Stock Options” under Section 422 of the Code.

8. Methods of Exercise of Options

(a) An Option holder (or other person or person, if any, entitled to exercise an Option hereunder) desiring to exercise an Option granted pursuant to the Plan as to all or part of the shares of Common Stock covered by the Option shall (i) notify the Corporation in writing at its principal office at 180 Admiral Cochrane Drive, Annapolis, Maryland 21401-7394, to that effect, specifying the number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased and the method of payment therefor, and (ii) make payment or provision for payment for the shares of Common Stock as purchased in accordance with this Paragraph 8. Such written notice may be given by means of a facsimile transmission. If a facsimile transmission is used, the Option holder should mail the original executed copy of the written notice to the Corporation promptly thereafter.

(b) Payment or provision for payment shall be made as follows:

(i) The Option holder shall deliver to the Corporation at the address set forth in subparagraph 8(a) United States currency in an amount equal to the aggregate purchase price of the shares of Common Stock as to which such exercise relates; or

(ii) The Option holder shall tender to the Corporation shares of Common Stock already owned by the Option holder that, together with any cash tendered therewith, have an aggregate fair market value (determined based on the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date the notice set forth in subparagraph 8(a) is received by the Corporation) equal to the aggregate purchase price of the shares of Common Stock as to which such exercise relates; or

(iii) The Option holder shall deliver to the Corporation an exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly to the Corporation the amount of sale or loan proceeds necessary to pay the aggregate purchase price of the shares of Common Stock as to which such exercise relates and to sell the shares of Common Stock to be issued upon exercise of the Option and deliver the cash proceeds, less commission and brokerage fees to the Option holder or to deliver the remaining shares of Common Stock to the Option holder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, the Committee and the Board of Directors, in granting Options pursuant to the Plan, may limit the methods in which an Option may be exercised by any person and, in processing any purported exercise of an Option granted pursuant to the Plan, may refuse to recognize the method of exercise selected by the Option holder (other than the method of exercise set forth in subparagraph 8(b)(i)).

(c) In addition to the alternative methods of exercise set forth in paragraph 8(b), holders of Nonqualified Stock Options shall be entitled, at or prior to the time the written notice provided for in subparagraph 8(a) is delivered to the Corporation, to elect to have the Corporation withhold from the shares of Common Stock to be delivered upon exercise of the Nonqualified Stock Option that number of shares of Common Stock (determined based on the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date the notice set forth in subparagraph 8(a) is received by the Corporation) necessary to satisfy any withholding taxes attributable to the exercise of the Nonqualified Stock Option. Alternatively, such holder of a Nonqualified Stock Option may elect to deliver previously owned shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Nonqualified Stock Option to satisfy any withholding taxes attributable to the exercise of the Nonqualified Stock Option. If the Board of Directors does not include any provisions relating to this withholding feature in its resolutions granting the Nonqualified Stock Option or in the Option Agreement, the maximum amount that an Option holder may elect to have withheld from the shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable upon exercise or the maximum number of previously owned shares an Option holder may deliver shall be equal to the minimum federal and state withholding. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, the Committee or the Board of Directors may include in the Option Agreement relating to any such Nonqualified Stock Option provisions limiting or eliminating the Option holder’s ability to pay his withholding tax obligation with shares of Common Stock; or if no such provisions are included in the Option Agreement, but in the opinion of the Committee or the Board of Directors such withholding would have an adverse tax or accounting effect to the Corporation, at or prior to exercise of the Nonqualified Stock Option the Committee or the Board of Directors may limit or eliminate the Option holder’s ability to pay his withholding tax obligation with shares of Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, a holder of a Nonqualified Stock Option may not elect any of the methods of satisfying his withholding tax obligation in respect of any exercise if, in the opinion of counsel to the Corporation, there is a substantial likelihood that the election or timing of the election would subject the holder to a substantial risk of liability under Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

(d) An Option holder at any time may elect in writing to abandon an Option in respect of all or part of the number of shares of Common Stock as to which the Option shall not have been exercised.

(e) An Option holder shall have none of the rights of a stockholder of the Corporation until the shares of Common Stock covered by the Option are issued to him upon exercise of the Option.

9. Deferred Shares

(a) Elections to Defer. The Committee may at any time allow any Participant (or Participants) who is a member of the Board of Directors, or a member of a select group of management or highly compensated employees (within the meaning of the Employees’ Retirement Income Security Act of 1973, with each such individual being referred to herein as a “Participant”) to irrevocably elect, on the form approved by the Committee (the “Election Form”), to forego the receipt of cash compensation and in lieu thereof to have the Corporation credit Deferred Shares to the Participant’s account with a Fair Market Value equal to the compensation deferred. Each Election Form shall take effect five business days after its delivery to the Committee, unless in the meantime the Committee sends the Participant a written notice explaining why the Election Form is invalid. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, Election Forms shall be ineffective with respect to any compensation that a Participant earns before the date on which the Committee receives the Election Form.

(b) Vesting. Deferred Shares shall be 100% vested at all times.

(c) Recordkeeping; Cash Earnings on Deferred Shares. The Committee shall establish and maintain an individual account (the “Cash Account”) in the name of each Participant who files an Election Form. On the last day of each fiscal quarter, the Corporation shall credit to the Participant’s Cash Account any cash dividends paid on the balance of Deferred Shares credited to the Participant’s Account. On the last day of each fiscal year of the Corporation, the Committee shall credit to the Participant’s Account Deferred Shares with a Market Value equal to the balance of the Participant’s Cash Account (without regard to fractional shares), and the balance of the Participant’s Cash Account shall be reduced to zero. The Trustees shall hold each Participant’s Deferred Shares until distribution is required pursuant to subsection (d) hereof.

(d) Distributions of Deferred Shares and Earnings. The Trustees shall distribute a Participant’s Deferred Shares in five substantially equal annual installments that are paid before the last day of each of the five fiscal years of the Corporation that end after the date on which the Participant’s Continuous Service terminates, unless the Participant has properly elected a different form of distribution, on the form (the “Distribution Election Form”) approved by the Committee, and the Committee has received the Participant’s Distribution Election Form either more than 90 days before a Change in Control or more than one year before the date on which the Participant’s Continuous Service terminates for any reason. Fractional Shares shall not be distributed.

(e) Hardship Withdrawals. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or a Participant’s Election Form, in the event the Participant suffers an unforeseeable hardship within the contemplation of this Section, the Participant may apply to the Committee for an immediate distribution of all or a portion of his Deferred Shares. The hardship must result from a sudden and unexpected illness or accident of the Participant or a dependent of the Participant, casualty loss of property, or other similar conditions beyond the control of the Participant. Examples of purposes, which are not considered hardships, include post-secondary school expenses or the desire to purchase a residence. In no event will a distribution be made to the extent the hardship could be relieved through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise, or by liquidation of the Participant’s nonessential assets to the extent such liquidation would not itself cause a severe financial hardship. The amount of any distribution hereunder shall be limited to the amount necessary to relieve the Participant’s financial hardship. The determination of whether a Participant has a qualifying hardship and the amount, which qualifies for distribution, if any shall be made by the Committee in its sole discretion. The Committee may require evidence of the purpose and amount of the need, and may establish such application or other procedures as it deems appropriate.

(f) Rights to Deferred Shares. A Participant may not assign his or her claim to Deferred Shares during his or her lifetime. A Participant’s right to Deferred Shares shall at all times constitute an unsecured promise of the Corporation to pay benefits as they come due. The right of the Participant or his or her beneficiary to receive benefits hereunder shall be solely an unsecured claim against the general assets of the Corporation. Neither the Participant nor his or her beneficiary shall have any claim against or rights in any specific assets, shares, or other funds of the Corporation.

10. Restricted Share Awards

(a) Grants. The Committee shall have the discretion to grant Restricted Share Awards to Employees and members of the Board of Directors. As promptly as practicable after a determination is made that a Restricted Share Award is to be made, the Committee shall notify the Participant in writing of the grant of the Award, the number of shares covered by the Award, and the terms upon which the shares subject to the Award may be earned. The date on which the Committee so notifies the Participant shall be considered the date of grant of the Restricted Share Awards. The Committee shall maintain records as to all grants of Restricted Share Awards under the Plan.

(b) Earning Shares. Unless the Committee specifically eliminates any vesting schedule in an Agreement granting a Restricted Share Award, shares subject to Restricted Share Awards shall be earned and become non-forfeitable by a Participant according to the following schedule, provided the Participant is an Employee or Director on the scheduled vesting date:

Years Since Award	Vested Percentage (applied  to Restricted Shares)
Less than 1		0	%
1		25	%
2		50	%
3		75	%
4 or More		100	%

Notwithstanding the foregoing and unless otherwise provided in a Participant’s Restricted Stock Award, each Participant shall become (100%) vested immediately (i) upon termination of the Participant’s service due to the Participant’s disability or death, or (ii) upon a Change in Control of the Corporation.

(c) Accrual of Dividends. Whenever shares are paid to a Participant or beneficiary under Section 11(d), such Participant or beneficiary shall also be entitled to receive, with respect to each share paid, an amount equal to any cash dividends (including special large and nonrecurring dividends, including one that has the effect of a return of capital to the Corporation’s stockholders) and a number of shares of Common Stock equal to any stock dividends, declared and paid with respect to a share of Common Stock between the date the relevant Restricted Share Award was initially granted to such Participant and the date the shares are being distributed. There shall also be distributed an appropriate amount of net earnings, if any, with respect to any cash dividends so paid out.

(d) Distribution of Shares.

(i) Timing of Distributions: General Rule. Except as otherwise expressly stated in this Plan, the Committee shall distribute shares and accumulated cash from dividends and interest to the Participant or his Beneficiary, as the case may be, as soon as practicable after they have been earned. No fractional shares shall be distributed.

(ii) Form of Distribution. The Committee shall distribute all shares, together with any shares representing stock dividends, in the form of Common Stock. One share of Common Stock shall be given for each share earned. Payments representing cash dividends (and earnings thereon) shall be made in cash.

(iii) Withholding. The Committee shall withhold from any cash payment made under this Plan sufficient amounts to cover any applicable withholding and employment taxes, and if the amount of such cash payment is not sufficient, the Committee shall require the Participant or beneficiary to pay to the Committee the amount required to be withheld as a condition of delivering the shares. The Committee shall pay over to the Corporation or Affiliate which employs or employed such Participant any such amount withheld from or paid by the Participant or beneficiary.

(iv) Regulatory Exceptions. No Restricted Shares shall be distributed unless and until all of the requirements of all applicable law and regulations shall have been fully complied with, including the receipt of approval of the Plan by the stockholders of the Corporation by such vote, if any, as may be required by applicable law and regulations.

(e) Voting of Plan Shares. All shares of Common Stock subject to Awards (whether or not subject to a Restricted Share Award) shall be voted by the Board of Directors in the manner directed by the Board of Directors.

(f) Deferral Elections. At any time 12 months prior to the date on which a Participant becomes vested in any shares subject to his or her Restricted Share Award, a Participant who is a member of a select group of management or highly compensated employees (within the meaning of the Employees’ Retirement Income Security Act of 1973) may irrevocably elect, on the form (the “Election Form”) approved by the Committee, to defer the receipt of all or a percentage of the shares that would otherwise be transferred to the Participant upon the vesting of such Award. If such an election is made, the shares shall be credited to the Participant’s Account as Deferred Shares on the date such shares would otherwise have been distributed to the Participant.

11. Amendments and Discontinuance of the Plan

The Board of Directors shall have the right at any time and from time to time to amend, modify, or discontinue the Plan provided that, except as provided in subparagraph 6(c), no such amendment, modification, or discontinuance of the Plan shall (i) revoke or alter the terms of any valid Option previously granted pursuant to the Plan, (ii) increase the number of shares of Common Stock to be reserved for issuance and sale pursuant to Options granted pursuant to the Plan, (iii) decrease the exercise price determined pursuant to the provisions of subparagraph 7(b), or (iv) provide for Options exercisable more than 10 years after the date granted.

12. Plan Subject to Governmental Laws and Regulations

The Plan and the grant of Awards pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to all applicable governmental laws and regulations. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Board of Directors may in its sole and absolute discretion make such changes in the Plan as may be required to conform the Plan to such laws and regulations.

13. Duration of the Plan

No Option shall be granted pursuant to the Plan after the close of business on March 23, 2010.
