RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider the following risk factors and other information
contained in this Prospectus before buying the Notes.
THE NOTES ARE NOT SECURED, INSURED OR GUARANTEED
The Notes are not secured by any of our assets or any other collateral. Also,
the Notes are not bank deposits and are not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or
any other governmental agency. Therefore, you are increasing your risk of loss
if you buy Notes with funds taken from an insured account held at a bank,
savings and loan association or credit union.
YOUR RIGHT TO RECEIVE PAYMENTS ON THESE NOTES IS SUBORDINATE TO ALL OF OUR
SENIOR INDEBTEDNESS
According to the terms of the Notes, the payment of the principal and interest
on the Notes is subordinate in right of payment to the prior payment when due of
the principal and interest on all of our Senior Indebtedness. As of December 31,
1998, the total amount of our Senior Indebtedness was $6.0 million and the total
amount of our indebtedness that is equal in right of payment with the Notes was
$132.7 million. We have the absolute right to increase or decrease our Senior
Indebtedness.
Holders of Senior Indebtedness will be able to prevent payment on the Notes:
- - in the event of our bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization;
- - if there is a payment default under certain Senior Indebtedness; and
- - if there are certain non-payment defaults under certain Senior Indebtedness.
OUR STATUS AS A HOLDING COMPANY MAKES US DEPENDENT ON DIVIDENDS FROM OUR
SUBSIDIARIES TO MEET OUR OBLIGATIONS
We are a holding company and conduct almost all of our operations through our
subsidiaries. We do not have any significant assets other than the stock of our
subsidiaries. Accordingly, we depend on the cash flows of our subsidiaries to
meet our obligations, including the payment of the principal and interest on the
Notes. Our right, and thus the right of the buyers of Notes and our other
creditors, to participate in any distribution of earnings or assets of our
subsidiaries is subject to the prior claims of creditors of such subsidiaries.
As of December 31, 1998, the amount of such claims (excluding deposit
liabilities) was $132.7 million.
Under federal and state law, our bank subsidiaries are limited in the amount of
dividends they can pay to us without prior regulatory approval. Also, bank
regulators have the authority to prohibit our subsidiary banks from paying
dividends if they think the payment would be an unsafe and unsound banking
practice.
YOU WILL FORFEIT INTEREST IF YOU REDEEM TERM NOTES EARLY
If you redeem your Term Notes before the maturity date, you will forfeit one
month of interest earned, or that could have been earned, if you are redeeming a
3, 6, 9 or 12 Month Term Note, or three months of interest earned, or that could
have been earned, if you are redeeming any other Term Note. We may also require
you to give us 30 days' prior written notice before you redeem a Term Note.
YOUR ABILITY TO SELL OR TRANSFER THE NOTES WILL BE LIMITED
There is no trading market for the Notes and we do not expect one to develop.
You should not purchase the Notes with the expectation that a trading market for
the Notes will subsequently develop. The Notes are
3
<PAGE> 5
also non-negotiable. You can transfer or assign the Notes only with our consent
and only at the offices of our sales and paying agents, Regency Finance Company
or Citizens Financial Services, Inc.
USE OF PROCEEDS
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of Notes primarily as
advances to its consumer finance subsidiary, Regency Finance Company, primarily
to fund Regency's lending and purchasing activities and secondarily for general
corporate purposes of the Company.

THE COMPANY
GENERAL
F.N.B. Corporation, or the "Company," is a financial services holding company
headquartered in Hermitage, Pennsylvania. It provides a broad range of financial
services to its customers through its bank and consumer finance subsidiaries in
Pennsylvania, southwestern Florida, eastern Ohio and southwestern New York. The
Company's main office is located at One F.N.B. Boulevard, Hermitage,
Pennsylvania 16148 and its telephone number is (724) 981-6000.
The Company was formed in 1974 and currently operates ten bank subsidiaries and
one consumer finance company in Pennsylvania, southwestern Florida, eastern Ohio
and southwestern New York. On January 13, 1999, the Company completed its
acquisition of Guaranty Bank and Trust Company, a Florida state bank, located in
Venice, Florida with assets of approximately $154.0 million, which it
subsequently merged with West Coast Bank to form West Coast Guaranty Bank, N.A.
As of December 31, 1998, including Guaranty Bank and Trust Company, the Company
had approximately $3.4 billion in consolidated assets, approximately $2.9
billion in deposits and 122 offices.
The Company, through its subsidiaries, provides a full range of financial
services, principally to consumers and small to medium-size businesses in its
market areas. The Company's business strategy has been to focus primarily on
providing quality, community-based financial services adapted to the needs of
each of the markets it serves. The Company has emphasized its community
orientation by generally preserving the names and local boards of directors of
its subsidiaries, by allowing its subsidiaries autonomy in decision-making and
thus enabling them to respond to customer requests more quickly, and by
concentrating on transactions within its market areas. However, while the
Company has sought to preserve the identities and autonomy of its subsidiaries,
it has established centralized credit analysis, loan review, investment, audit
and data processing functions. The centralization of these processes has enabled
the Company to maintain consistent quality of these functions and to achieve
certain economies of scale.
The Company's lending philosophy is to minimize credit losses by following
uniform credit approval standards (which include independent analysis of
realizable collateral value), diversifying its loan portfolio, maintaining a
relatively modest average loan size and conducting ongoing review and management
of the loan portfolio. The Company is an active residential mortgage lender, and
its commercial loans are generally to established local businesses. The Company
does not have a significant amount of construction loans and has no highly
leveraged transaction loans or loans to foreign countries.
No material portion of the deposits of the Company's subsidiaries has been
obtained from a single or small group of customers, and the loss of any
customer's deposits or a small group of customers' deposits would not have a
material adverse effect on the business of the Company.

Information as of December 31, 1998 for the Company's existing bank and consumer
finance subsidiaries (including the year established and location of principal
office for each) is set forth below. All subsidiaries are wholly-owned by the

financial institutions and other businesses. As a general rule, the Company
publicly announces such material acquisitions when a definitive agreement has
been reached.
For further information about the Company, reference is made to the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998, which is
incorporated herein by reference. Investors desiring a copy of such report may
(i) contact the Company at its address or telephone number indicated under
"Information Incorporated by Reference" or (ii) access the SEC's website at
"http://www/sec.gov."
DESCRIPTION OF NOTES
GENERAL
The Company will issue the Notes under an Indenture, dated as of May 15, 1992,
as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of January 1, 1994,
(the "Indenture"), between the Company and Chase Manhattan Trust Company,
National Association, successor to Northern Central Bank, as trustee (the
"Trustee"). The Notes will be subordinated, unsecured obligations of the
Company. The material terms, provisions and covenants contained in the Notes and
the Indenture are described below.
The Notes will be subordinate in right of payment to Senior Indebtedness of the
Company, as described below under "Subordination." The Indenture does not limit
the incurrence of Senior Indebtedness or any other debt, secured or unsecured,
of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, nor does it contain any terms which
would afford protection to holders of the Notes ("Holders") issued thereunder in
the event of a recapitalization, a change in control, a highly leveraged
transaction or a restructuring involving the Company.
The Notes will be obligations of the Company only. Because the Company is a
holding company, its rights and the rights of its creditors, including the
Holders of the Notes, to participate in the distribution of the assets of any of
the Company's subsidiaries upon liquidation, dissolution or reorganization of a
subsidiary will be subject to the prior claims of the subsidiaries' creditors
(including depositors in a bank or savings and loan subsidiary), except to the
extent that the Company may itself be a creditor with recognized claims against
the subsidiary.
9
<PAGE> 11
The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part
of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended
(the "Trust Indenture Act") as in effect on the date of the Indenture. The Notes
are subject to all such terms, and holders of the Notes are referred to the
Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act for a statement of them. The statements
under this caption relating to the Indenture, a copy of which is filed as an
exhibit to the Registration Statement, and the Notes are summaries and do not
purport to be complete. Such summaries make use of certain terms defined in the
Indenture and are qualified in their entirety by express reference to the
Indenture.
TERMS OF SUBORDINATED TERM NOTES
Subordinated Term Notes Due 3 Months or 6 Months.
The Company will issue each 3 Month and 6 Month Term Note in the minimum
principal amount of $500 and such Term Notes will mature 3 months or 6 months,
respectively, after their date of issue. The Company will determine, from time
to time, the rate of interest payable on such Term Notes. The rate of interest
at the time of purchase will be the rate payable throughout the original term of
the Term Note. The Company will pay interest, at the Holder's option, either
monthly or at maturity.
Each 3 Month and 6 Month Term Note will automatically extend for an additional
term, equal in duration to the original term, at the rate of interest then in
effect for Term Notes of comparable maturity. All of the other terms and
conditions applicable to the Term Notes when issued will also apply during each
extension term. The Holder may elect not to extend the term by notifying the
Company of his intention to redeem the Term Note.
Subordinated Term Notes Due 9 Months, 12 Months, 18 Months, 24 Months, 30
Months, 36 Months, 48 Months, 60 Months, 84 Months or 120 Months.
The Company will issue each 9, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 48, 60, 84, and 120 Month
Term Note in the minimum principal amount of $500. Such Term Notes will mature 9
months, 12 months, 18 months, 24 months, 30 months, 36 months, 48 months, 60
months, 84 months or 120 months after their date of issue. The Company will
determine, from time to time, the rate of interest payable on such Term Notes.
The rate of interest at the time of purchase will be payable throughout the
original term of the Term Note. The Company will pay interest, at the Holder's
option, either monthly or quarterly, or will compound the interest quarterly.
These Term Notes will automatically extend for additional terms, equal in
duration to their original terms, at the rate(s) of interest then in effect for
Term Notes of comparable maturity. All of the other terms and conditions
applicable to such Term Notes when issued will also apply during each extension
term. The Holder may elect not to extend the term by notifying the Company of
the Holder's intention to redeem the Term Note.
Redemption of Term Notes at Option of Holder.
The Holder of a Term Note will have the right, at such Holder's option, to
redeem the Term Note, in whole or in part, prior to maturity, provided that a
partial redemption may not reduce the principal amount of the Term Note below
$500. If the Holder redeems, in whole or in part, a 3 Month, 6 Month, 9 Month or
a 12 Month Term Note, the Holder will forfeit one month of interest earned, or
that could have been earned, on the amount redeemed at the rate being paid on
the Term Note, regardless of the length of time that the Holder has owned the
Term Note. If the Holder redeems, in whole or in part, an 18 Month, 24 Month, 30
Month, 36 Month, 48 Month, 60 Month, 84 Month or 120 Month Term Note, the Holder
will forfeit 3 months of interest earned, or that could have been earned, on the
amount redeemed at the rate being paid on the Term Note, regardless of the
length of time that the Holder has owned the Term Note. Where
10
<PAGE> 12
necessary to comply with the requirements of this paragraph, the Company will
deduct interest already paid to or for the account of the Holder from the amount
redeemed.
Term Notes may be redeemed before maturity without forfeiture of interest upon
the death of any Holder or if the Holder is determined to be legally
incompetent. The Company may require the Holder to give the Company no less than
thirty (30) days' prior written notice, by first class mail, of a redemption
demanded by the Holder. The Holder must specify in the notice the principal
amount of the Term Note to be redeemed and the redemption date.
TERMS OF SUBORDINATED DAILY NOTES
The Company will issue Daily Notes in the minimum original principal amount of
$50. Holders of Daily Notes may increase or decrease the original principal
amount at any time by making additional purchases or partial redemptions. Each
partial redemption must be in the minimum amount of $50 and may not reduce the
principal amount of the Daily Note below $50. Upon request of the Holder of a
Daily Note, the Company will record on the Daily Note any adjustments to the
original principal amount, such as additional purchases or partial redemptions.
If the Holder redeems a Daily Note in full, such Daily Note must be surrendered
by the Holder to the Company and the Company will pay to the Holder the
outstanding principal amount thereof, together with any accrued but unpaid
interest. The Company may require the Holder to give the Company no less than
thirty (30) days' prior written notice, by first class mail, of a redemption
demanded by the Holder. The Holder must specify in the notice the principal
amount of the Daily Note to be redeemed and the redemption date.
The Company will determine the interest rate payable on the Daily Note. The
interest rate may increase or decrease on a monthly basis. The Company will make
each adjustment, if any, to the interest rate on the first day of the month. The
interest rate, once adjusted, will be effective on the first day of each month
and will remain in effect until next adjusted by the Company. Interest will be
accrued daily and compounded quarterly.
GENERAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO ALL NOTES
Optional Redemption by the Company.
The Company has the right, at its option, to call any of the Notes for
redemption before maturity, at any time. The Company will make each partial
redemption payment ratably on all the outstanding Notes of the particular series
called for redemption. Interest on the Notes will continue to accrue until the
date of redemption and no premium will be paid on such Notes. The Company will
give each Holder at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice by first class
mail of each redemption, specifying, among other things, the principal amount of
the Note to be redeemed and the redemption date. Once the Company gives a notice
of redemption, the principal amount of the Note specified in such notice,
together with accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, will become
due and payable on the redemption date.
Subordination.
The indebtedness evidenced by the Notes is subordinate to the prior payment when
due of the principal of and interest on all Senior Indebtedness. Upon maturity
of any Senior Indebtedness, the Company must make payment in full on such Senior
Indebtedness before it can make any payment on the Notes. The Company may not
make any payment on the Notes while it is in default on the payment of any
Senior Indebtedness, or while any other event of default exists with respect to
Senior Indebtedness pursuant to which the holders thereof have accelerated the
maturity thereof. If the assets of the Company are distributed
11
<PAGE> 13
in any dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization, payment of the
principal of and interest on the Notes will be subordinated, to the extent and
in the manner set forth in the Indenture, to the prior payment in full of all
Senior Indebtedness. The Indenture does not limit the Company's ability to
increase the amount of Senior Indebtedness or to incur any additional
indebtedness in the future that may affect the Company's ability to make
payments under the Notes. Except as described above, the obligation of the
Company to make payment of principal or interest on the Notes will not be
affected. The Holders of the Notes will be subrogated to the rights of the
holders of the Senior Indebtedness to the extent of payments made on Senior
Indebtedness out of the distributive share of the Notes. By reason of such
subordination, in the event of a distribution of assets upon insolvency, certain
general creditors of the Company may recover more, ratably, than Holders of the
Notes.
"Senior Indebtedness" means Indebtedness of the Company outstanding at any time
other than (1) Indebtedness of the Company to a Subsidiary for money borrowed or
advanced from any such Subsidiary and (2) Indebtedness which by its terms is not
superior in right of payment to the Notes.
"Indebtedness" means (1) any debt of the Company (i) for borrowed money or (ii)
evidenced by a note, debenture or similar instrument (including a purchase money
obligation) given in connection with the acquisition of any property or assets,
including securities; (2) any debt of others described in the preceding clause
(1) which the Company has guaranteed or for which it is otherwise liable; and
(3) any amendment, renewal, extension or refunding of any such debt. As of
December 31, 1998, the outstanding amount of Senior Indebtedness of the Company
was approximately $6.0 million.
Defaults and Remedies.
The term "Events of Default" when used in the Indenture means any one of the
following: (i) failure of the Company to pay interest which failure continues
for 30 days, or failure to pay principal of (or premium, if any, on) any of the
Notes when due (whether or not prohibited by the subordination provisions); (ii)
failure to perform any other covenant or breach of any warranty continuing for
60 days after the Company receives written notice of such failure or breach;
(iii) the default under any instrument governing indebtedness of the Company or
any subsidiary for money borrowed or guaranteed which constitutes a failure to
pay principal in an aggregate principal amount exceeding $1,000,000 or which has
resulted in an aggregate principal amount of at least $1,000,000 becoming or
being declared due prior to its stated maturity, and which default is not cured
within 30 days after the Company receives written notice thereof; and (iv)
certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization involving the Company
or certain of its subsidiaries.
The Indenture provides that the Trustee will, within 90 days after the
occurrence of a default, mail to the Holders notice of all uncured defaults
known to it (the term "default" for this purpose only means the happening of any
Event of Default specified above, excluding grace periods). In the case of
default in the payment of principal of or interest on any of the Notes, the
Trustee will be protected in withholding such notice if it in good faith
determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the
Holders.
If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of
not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of any series of the Notes then
outstanding, by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by
the holders), may declare the principal of and all accrued interest on all the
Notes of such series to be due and payable immediately. The Holders of a
majority in principal amount of such series of Notes may rescind such
declaration if (1) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum
sufficient to pay all overdue interest on such series of Notes and principal of
(and premium, if any, on) any Notes which have become due otherwise than by such
declaration of acceleration and (2) all existing Events of Default have been
cured or waived.
Defaults (except, unless cured, a default in payment of principal of or interest
on the Notes or a default with respect to a provision which cannot be modified
under the terms of the Indenture without the consent of
12
<PAGE> 14
each Holder affected) may be waived by the Holders of a majority in principal
amount of a series of Notes (with respect to such series) upon the conditions
provided in the Indenture.
The Indenture requires the Company to file periodic reports with the Trustee as
to the absence of defaults.
A director, officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company will not
have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Notes or the
Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such
obligations or their creation. Each Holder, by accepting a Note, waives and
releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the
consideration for the issue of the Notes.
Consolidation, Merger, Conveyance, Transfer or Lease.
The Company may not consolidate with, merge into, or transfer or lease
substantially all of its assets to, any other corporation unless the successor
corporation assumes all obligations of the Company under the Indenture and the
Notes and certain other conditions are met. Thereafter all such obligations of
the Company will terminate and the successor corporation formed by such
consolidation or into which the Company is merged or to which such transfer or
lease is made will succeed to all rights and powers of the Company under the
Indenture.
The Indenture prohibits the issuance, sale, assignment, transfer or other
disposition of shares of, or securities convertible into, or options, warrants
or rights to subscribe for or purchase shares of a subsidiary, or any
successors, or mergers or consolidations involving a subsidiary, or sales or
transfers of assets substantially as an entirety by any subsidiary. The Company
may, with respect to any subsidiary that is not a Principal Member Bank (as
defined in the Indenture), (1) dispose of any shares of stock or (2) issue
shares of stock or permit a merger, consolidation or sale or lease of assets if
the consideration received at least equals the fair value of the shares or
assets transferred and either the Company's pro rata interest in the subsidiary
is maintained or the Company owns no shares of the subsidiary immediately after
the transaction. The Indenture does not prohibit such dispositions (i) if made
in compliance with any order of the court or regulatory authority or made as a
condition imposed by a court or authority to the acquisition by the Company of
any entity, or (ii) when the proceeds are, within 270 days, or such longer
period of time as may be necessary to obtain requisite regulatory approvals, to
be invested in a subsidiary (including any entity which upon such investment
becomes a subsidiary) engaged in a business legally permissible for bank holding
companies.
Modification of the Indenture.
The Company and the Trustee may supplement or amend the Indenture under certain
specified circumstances, without the consent of any Holder, including to cure
any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any other provision thereof, to evidence
the succession of a successor to the Company or the Trustee, to add to the
covenants of the Company for the benefit of the Holders or additional Events of
Default, to secure the Notes, or to add any other provisions with respect to
matters or questions arising thereunder which the Company and the Trustee deem
necessary or desirable and which do not adversely affect the interests of the
Holders. Otherwise, the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of
the Holders may be modified by the Company and the Trustee only with the consent
of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of each series of Notes then
outstanding.
Consumer Finance Subsidiary as Selling Agent and Paying Agent of the Company.
Regency Finance Company, and its subsidiary, Citizens Financial Services, Inc.,
will act as selling agents and paying agents of the Company. Therefore, the
Holders will make all payments for Notes to Regency or Citizens, as agent for
the Company, and Regency or Citizens will make all principal and certain
interest payments to the Holders, as agent for the Company.
13
<PAGE> 15
Notes Non-Negotiable.
The Notes are non-negotiable and no rights of ownership may be transferred by
mere endorsement and delivery of a Note to a purchaser. All transfers and
assignments of Notes may be made only at the offices of Regency Finance Company
or its subsidiary, Citizens Financial Services, Inc., upon presentation of the
Note and recordation of such transfer or assignment in the books of the Company.
Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture.
The Indenture will be discharged and cancelled upon payment of all securities
issued under the Indenture, including the Notes, or upon deposit with the
Trustee, within not more than one year prior to the maturity of all the
outstanding securities issued under the Indenture, of funds sufficient for such
payment or redemption.
The Trustee.
The Trustee is Chase Manhattan Trust Company, National Association, successor to
Northern Central Bank. Notice to the Trustee should be directed to One Oxford
Centre, 301 Grant Street, Suite 1100, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15219.
The Holders of a majority in principal amount of all outstanding series of Notes
have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding
for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee, provided that such direction
would not conflict with any rule of law or with the Indenture, would not be
prejudicial to the rights of another Holder and would not subject the Trustee to
personal liability. The Indenture provides that in case an Event of Default
should occur and be known to the Trustee (and not be cured), the Trustee will be
required to use the degree of care of a prudent man in the conduct of his own
affairs in the exercise of its power. Subject to such provisions, the Trustee
will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the
Indenture at the request of any of the Holders unless they shall have offered to
the Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to it.
Federal Income Tax Considerations.
A Holder of Notes may be subject to "backup withholding" under certain
circumstances. Backup withholding applies to a Holder who is a United States
person if the Holder, among other things,
(1) fails to furnish his social security number or other taxpayer identification
number ("TIN") to the payer responsible for backup withholding (for example,
the Holder's securities broker),
(2) furnishes such payer an incorrect TIN,
(3) fails to provide such payer with a certified statement, signed under
penalties of perjury, that the TIN provided to the payer is correct and that
the Holder is not subject to backup withholding, or
(4) fails to report properly interest and dividends on his tax return. Backup
withholding, however, does not apply to payments made to certain exempt
recipients, such as corporations and tax-exempt organizations. The backup
withholding rate is 31% of "reportable payments," which generally will
include interest on Notes.
Under present law all interest earned on the Notes will be taxable each year for
Federal income tax purposes. Even though interest on certain series of Notes may
be accrued during a calendar year but not paid until a future year, the accrued
interest may be taxable for Federal income tax purposes during the calendar year
of accrual.
Holders of Notes should consult their own tax advisors about the federal, state
and local tax consequences of owning Notes.
14
<PAGE> 16
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Officers and employees of Regency, the Company's consumer finance subsidiary,
and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Citizens Financial Services, Inc., will sell
the Notes without registration as brokers or dealers in reliance upon the safe
harbor provided by Rule 3a4-1 under the Exchange Act. Such officers and
employees will not receive any commissions or direct or indirect compensation in
connection with the sale of the Notes.
The Company will market the Notes through the use of newspaper advertisements
and signs in the Regency offices and through the provision of copies of this
Prospectus to customers who inquire about purchasing the Notes. The Company will
not market the Notes through any mass mailings, telephone calls or other
personal solicitation.

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Numbered Paragraph 6.b of the Articles of Incorporation, as amended, of F.N.B.
Corporation provides as follows:
Directors and Officers of the Corporation shall be indemnified as of
right to the fullest extent now or hereafter permitted by law in connection
with any actual or threatened action, suit or proceedings, civil, criminal,
administrative, investigative or other (whether brought by or in the right
of the Corporation or otherwise), arising out of their service to the
Corporation or to another organization at the request of the Corporation,
or because of their positions with the Corporation. Persons who are not
Directors or Officers of the Corporation may be similarly indemnified in
respect of such service to the extent authorized at any time by the Board
of Directors of the Corporation. The Corporation may purchase and maintain
insurance to protect itself and any such Director, Officer or other person
against any liability, cost or expense asserted against or incurred by him
in respect of such service, whether or not the Corporation would have the
power to indemnify him against such liability by law or under the
provisions of this paragraph. The provisions of this paragraph shall be
applicable to persons who have ceased to be Directors or Officers, and
shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of
persons entitled to indemnity hereunder.
Article IX of the Bylaws of F.N.B. Corporation provides that the Corporation
shall indemnify each director and officer of the Corporation and of its
controlled subsidiaries made or threatened to be made a party to any civil,
criminal, administrative action, suit or proceeding (whether brought by or in
the name of the Corporation or otherwise) arising out of such director's or
officer's service to the Corporation or to another organization at the
Corporation's request against all expenses (including attorneys' fees),
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred
by such director and officer in connection with such action, suit or proceeding.
Indemnification shall not be made with respect to actions, suits or proceedings
where the act or omission giving rise to the claim for indemnification has been
determined to have constituted willful misconduct or recklessness or where
prohibited by law. In addition, expenses incurred by each director and officer
in defending any such action, suit or proceeding, shall be paid by the
Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or
proceeding if an undertaking (in form and scope satisfactory to the Corporation)
shall have been furnished to the Corporation to repay amounts so advanced if and
to the extent it shall ultimately be determined that such officer or director is
not entitled
II-1
<PAGE> 19
to indemnification and certain other conditions shall have been satisfied. The
Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance, create a fund of any nature,
grant a security interest or otherwise secure or insure in any manner its
indemnification obligations.
Article II, Section 17 of the Bylaws of F.N.B. Corporation provides that to the
fullest extent permitted by law, no director of the Corporation shall be
personally liable for monetary damages for any action taken, or any failure to
take any action.
Section 1741 of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law (the "BCL") provides
that a corporation shall (subject to the provisions described in the second
succeeding paragraph) have the power to indemnify any person who was or is a
party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending or
completed action or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation), by
reason of the fact that such person is or was a representative of the
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
representative of another domestic or foreign corporation for profit or
not-for-profit, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against
expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such persons in connection with
the action or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the
corporation and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable
cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action or
proceeding by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo
contendere or its equivalent shall not of itself create a presumption that such
person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to
be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and, with
respect to any criminal proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his
conduct was unlawful.
Section 1742 of the Pennsylvania BCL provides that a corporation shall (subject
to the provisions described in the succeeding paragraph) have the power to
indemnify any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party,
to any threatened, pending or completed action by or in the right of the
corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such
person is or was a representative of the corporation, or is or was serving at
the request of the corporation as a representative of another domestic or
foreign corporation for profit or not-for-profit, partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually
and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense of the
settlement of the action if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the
corporation. Indemnification shall not be made in respect of any claim, issue or
matter as to which such person has been adjudged to be liable to the corporation
unless and only to the extent that the court of common pleas of the county in
which the registered office of the corporation is located or the court in which
the action was brought determines upon application that, despite the
adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such
person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses that the
court of common pleas or other court deems proper.
Under Section 1744 of the Pennsylvania BCL, any such indemnification (unless
ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in a
specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the representative is
proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standard
of conduct. Such determination shall be made:
(1) By the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting
of directors who were not parties to the action or proceeding; or
(2) If such quorum is not obtainable or, even if obtainable, a majority
vote of a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent
legal counsel in a written opinion; or
(3) By the shareholders.
II-2
<PAGE> 20
Notwithstanding the above, Section 1743 provides that to the extent that a
representative of the corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise
in defense of any action or proceeding referred to above, or in defense of any
claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against
expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such
person in connection therewith.
Under Section 1745 of the Pennsylvania BCL, expenses (including attorneys' fees)
incurred in defending any action or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in
advance of the final disposition of the action or proceeding upon receipt of an
undertaking by or on behalf of the representative to repay such amount if it is
ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the
corporation.
Section 1746 of the Pennsylvania BCL further provides that the indemnification
provided by Sections 1741, 1742 and 1743 and the advancement of expenses
provided by Section 1745 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to
which a person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be
entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders, disinterested
directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to
action in other capacity while holding that office. A corporation may create a
fund of any nature, which may, but need not be, under the control of a trustee,
or otherwise secure or insure in any manner its indemnification obligations,
whether arising under or pursuant to Section 1746 or otherwise. Indemnification
pursuant to Section 1746 shall not be made in any case where the act or failure
to act giving rise to the claim for indemnification is determined by a court to
have constituted willful misconduct or recklessness.
Indemnification pursuant to Section 1746 under any bylaw, agreement, vote of
shareholders, or directors or otherwise may be granted for any action taken or
any failure to take any action and may be made whether or not the corporation
would have the power to indemnify the person under any other provision of law
except as provided in such Section 1746 and whether or not the indemnified
liability arises or arose from any threatened, pending or completed action by or
in the right of the corporation. Section 1746 declares such indemnification to
be consistent with the public policy of Pennsylvania.
The foregoing is only a general summary of certain aspects of Pennsylvania law
dealing with indemnification of directors and officers and does not purport to
be complete. It is qualified in its entirety by reference to the relevant
statutes which contain detailed specific provisions regarding the circumstances
under which the person for whose benefit indemnification shall or may be made
and accordingly are incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit 99.2 of this
registration statement.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made,
a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;
(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;
(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.
(2) That, for the purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, 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.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining
any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit
plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934) that is
II-4
<PAGE> 22
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.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
1933 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 Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against
public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

[Reverse of Note]
This Subordinated Term Note is one of a duly authorized issue of
securities of the Issuer (each a "Security" and, together, the "Securities"),
issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of
May 15, 1992 (herein called the "Indenture"), between the Issuer and Chase
Manhattan Trust Company, N.A., as successor to Northern Central Bank, as trustee
(herein called the "Trustee", which term includes any successor Trustee under
the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto
reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations,
duties and immunities thereunder of the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of
the Securities, and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be,
authenticated and delivered.
PAYMENT AND INTEREST ACCRUAL. Payment of the principal of and interest
on this Security shall be made in lawful money of the United States at any
office of Regency Finance Company, the Issuer's agent, or at such other place as
the Issuer may designate to the Holder in writing ("Place of Payment");
provided, however, that any such payment may be made, at the option of the
Issuer, by check mailed to the registered address of the Holder. Upon payment or
tender of payment hereof at maturity or earlier redemption (in whole), this
Security shall be surrendered to the Issuer for cancellation at the Place of
Payment. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Issuer, interest hereon shall
cease to accrue, and the Issuer shall have no further liability with respect
thereto, upon payment (or tender of payment in the aforesaid manner) of the
principal amount hereof at maturity or earlier redemption.
This Security will be automatically extended for successive terms,
equal in duration to the original term hereof, at the rate(s) of interest then
in effect for Securities of comparable maturity unless, prior to maturity, the
Issuer receives notification of the Holder's intent to redeem the Security. All
of the terms and conditions applicable to the Security when issued will also
apply during each period of extension.
OPTIONAL REDEMPTION BY ISSUER. The Securities of this series are
subject to redemption upon not less than 30 days' notice by first class mail, at
any time, as a whole or in part, at the election of the Issuer, without premium,
together with accrued interest to the Redemption Date, but any interest
installment, which is due and payable on or prior to such Redemption Date, will
be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor
Securities, of record at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates, all
as provided in the Indenture. Each partial redemption payment shall be made
ratably on all the Outstanding Securities of such series called for redemption.
REDEMPTION PRIOR TO MATURITY BY HOLDER. The Holder shall have the right
at its option to redeem this Security in whole or in part at any time prior to
maturity. Upon such redemption, the Holder shall forfeit an amount equal to (i)
1 month of interest earned, or that could have been earned (if this Security has
a term of 3 to 12 months) or (ii) 3 months of interest earned, or that could
have been earned (if this Security has a term of 18 to 120 months), on the
amount so redeemed at the rate being paid on this Security, regardless of the
length of time that this Security has been Outstanding. Where necessary to
comply with the requirements of this paragraph, any interest already paid to or
for the account of the Holder shall be deducted from the amount redeemed.
Holders shall also have the right to make partial redemptions prior to maturity;
provided, however, that a minimum outstanding principal amount of $500 is
maintained. The above-mentioned forfeitures shall be calculated only upon the
amount so redeemed. This Security may be redeemed before maturity without
forfeiture upon the death of the Holder of this Security or when the Holder of
this Security is determined to be legally incompetent by a court or other
administrative body of competent jurisdiction. The Issuer retains the absolute
right to require the Holder to give the Issuer no less than 30 days' prior
written notice by U.S. registered mail of a redemption demanded by the Holder,
which notice shall specify the principal amount of the Security to be redeemed
and the redemption date.
In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new
Security or Securities of this series for the unredeemed portion hereof will be
issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.
ASSIGNMENT. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, this Security shall not be transferable except by
endorsement and delivery by the Holder, or his duly authorized representative at
the Place of Payment referred to above and, upon surrender to the Issuer with
proper endorsement, a new instrument of like tenor shall be issued in the name
of the transferee. No service charge shall be made for any such registration of
transfer or exchange, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
Unless and until transferred in the manner aforesaid, the Issuer, the Trustee
and any agent of either of them may treat the Holder whose name or names appear
on the face of this instrument as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes. If
this Security is payable to two or more persons, they shall be deemed to be
joint tenants with right of survivorship and any and all payments herein shall
be made to either, or the survivor of them.
SUBORDINATION. The indebtedness evidenced by this Security is
subordinate to the prior payment when due of the principal of and interest on
all Senior Indebtedness (as such term is defined below). Upon maturity of any
Senior Indebtedness, payment in full must be made on such Senior Indebtedness
before any payment is made on or in respect of this Security. During the
continuance of any default in payment of principal of (or premium, if any) or
interest or sinking fund on any Senior Indebtedness, or any other event of
default with respect to Senior Indebtedness pursuant to which the holders
thereof have accelerated the maturity thereof, no direct or indirect payment may
be made or agreed to be made by the Issuer on or in respect of this Security.
Upon any distribution of assets of the Issuer in any dissolution, winding up,
liquidation or reorganization, payment of the principal of and interest on this
Security will be subordinated, to the extent and in the manner set forth in the
Indenture, to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness. The
Indenture does not limit the Issuer's ability to increase the amount of Senior
Indebtedness or to incur any additional indebtedness in the future that may
affect the Issuer's ability to make payments under this Security. Except as
described above, the obligation of the Issuer to make payment of principal or
interest on this Security will not be affected. The Holder of this Security will
be subrogated to the rights of the holders of the Senior Indebtedness to the
extent of payments made on Senior Indebtedness out of the distributive share of
the Security. By reason of such subordination, in the event of a distribution of
assets upon insolvency, certain general creditors of the Issuer may recover
more, ratably, than Holders of the Securities.
"Senior Indebtedness" means Indebtedness of the Issuer outstanding at
any time, other than Indebtedness of the Issuer to a Subsidiary for money
borrowed or advanced from any such Subsidiary, except Indebtedness which by its
terms is not superior in right of payment to the Securities. "Indebtedness"
means (1) any debt of the Issuer (i) for borrowed money or (ii) evidenced by a
note, debenture or similar instrument (including a purchase money obligation)
given in connection with the acquisition of any property or assets, including
securities; (2) any debt of others described in the preceding clause (1) which
the Issuer has guaranteed or for which it is otherwise liable; and (3) any
amendment, renewal, extension or refunding of any such debt.
In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated
Maturity of any Security shall not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment,
then (notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture or of this Security)
payment of principal and interest need not be made at such Place of Payment on
such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of
Payment with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date
or Redemption Date, or at the Stated Maturity, provided that no interest shall
accrue for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date
or Stated Maturity, as the case may be.
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Issuer and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be
affected under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer and the Trustee with the
consent of the Holders of not less than 50% in principal amount of the
Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture
also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in
aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time
Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive
compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain
past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or
waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such
Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued
upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu
hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this
Security.
The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form
without coupons in any denomination; provided, however, that the minimum
denomination shall be $500.
All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture and
not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the
Indenture.

are subject to redemption upon not less than 30 days' notice by first class

as provided in the Indenture. Each partial redemption payment shall be made
ratably on all the Outstanding Securities of such series called for redemption.
REDEMPTION BY HOLDER. The Holder shall have the right at its

default with respect to Senior Indebtedness pursuant to which the holders
thereof have accelerated the maturity thereof, no direct or indirect payment may
be made or agreed to be made by the Issuer on or in respect of this Security.
Upon any distribution of assets of the Issuer in any dissolution, winding up,
liquidation or reorganization, payment of the principal of and interest on this
Security will be subordinated, to the extent and in the manner set forth in the
Indenture, to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness. The
Indenture does not limit the Issuer's ability to increase the amount of Senior
Indebtedness or to incur any additional indebtedness in the future that may
affect the Issuer's ability to make payments under this Security. Except as
described above, the obligation of the Issuer to make payment of principal or
interest on this Security will not be affected. The Holder of this Security will
be subrogated to the rights of the holders of the Senior Indebtedness to the
extent of payments made on Senior Indebtedness out of the distributive share of
the Security. By reason of such subordination, in the event of a distribution of
assets upon insolvency, certain general creditors of the Issuer may recover
more, ratably, than Holders of the Securities.
"Senior Indebtedness" means Indebtedness of the Issuer outstanding at
any time, other than Indebtedness of the Issuer to a Subsidiary for money
borrowed or advanced from any such Subsidiary, except Indebtedness which by its
terms is not superior in right of payment to the Securities. "Indebtedness"
means (1) any debt of the Issuer (i) for borrowed money or (ii)
<PAGE> 7
evidenced by a note, debenture or similar instrument (including a purchase money
obligation) given in connection with the acquisition of any property or assets,
including securities; (2) any debt of others described in the preceding clause
(1) which the Issuer has guaranteed or for which it is otherwise liable; and (3)
any amendment, renewal, extension or refunding of any such debt.
In any case where any Redemption Date of any Security shall
not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment, then (notwithstanding any other
provision of the Indenture or of this Security) payment of principal and
interest need not be made at such Place of Payment on such date, but may be made
on the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment with the same force
and effect as if made on the Redemption Date; provided, that no interest shall
accrue for the period from and after such Redemption Date.
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein
provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Issuer and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of
each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer and the
Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than 50% in principal amount
of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The
Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified
percentages in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each series at
the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series,
to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and
certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such
consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding
upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any
Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof
or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made
upon this Security.
The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered
form without coupons in any denomination; provided, however, that the minimum
denomination shall be $50.
All terms used in this Security which are defined in the
Indenture and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to
them in the Indenture.
