PART I

ITEM 1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

         FNB Financial Services Corporation was incorporated on August 19, 1983
under the laws of the State of North Carolina, for the purpose of becoming a one
bank holding company and to acquire all the outstanding stock of the First
National Bank of Reidsville. Effective January 1, 1985, the Company acquired the
outstanding Bank stock through a one-for-one exchange of shares.

         The Bank was established in 1918 as a national banking association and
is a full service commercial bank. The services it offers include checking, NOW
accounts, money market rate accounts, savings accounts, certificates of deposit,
individual retirement accounts, loans for business, agriculture, real estate,
personal use, home improvements and automobiles, safe deposit boxes and trust
services. The Bank has no material concentration of deposits from any single
customer or group of customers nor does it have a significant portion of its
loans concentrated in a single industry or group of related industries.

         The Bank is in competition with several larger commercial banks in
Rockingham County, as well as savings banks and credit unions. Further
competition is provided by banks located in adjoining counties, together with
other financial intermediaries such as insurance companies, finance companies,
pension funds and brokerage houses.

         The Bank, as a national banking association, is subject to regulatory
supervision, including regular bank examinations by the Comptroller of the
Currency. The Bank is a member of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
which insures its deposits, and is a member of the Federal Reserve System.

         The Company is registered as a bank holding company with and subject to
the regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. As
such, it is subject to examination by the Federal Reserve Board, and is required
to file with them annual reports and other information regarding its business
operations and those of its subsidiary.

         At December 31, 1996, the Bank had approximately 100 employees. The
Company has no employees who are not also employed by the Bank. The Bank
considers its relationship with employees to be good and provides for them
several employee benefit programs, including an employee retirement plan, a
stock compensation plan for eligible officers, group life and health insurance,
a 401(k) plan, a section 125 flexible spending plan, paid vacations and sick
leave.

         Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act, banks
are placed into categories depending upon how well capitalized they are. If a
bank's capital ratios should fall to an undercapitalized status, it becomes
subject to a series of increasingly restrictive actions, such as increased
monitoring, submission and approval of a capital restoration plan, restrictions

                                     4 OF 15

<PAGE>   5



on growth and certain expansion limitations requiring appropriate banking agency
prior approval. Even more serious restrictions may be imposed if capital ratios
should fall to a significantly undercapitalized status.

ITEM 2.  DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

         The corporate offices of the Company and the Bank are located in a two
story building at 202 South Main Street, Reidsville, North Carolina. The
premises consist of approximately 27,000 square feet of office space, adequate
parking and a three lane drive-in teller facility. The Bank also maintains full
service branches on Freeway Drive and adjacent to Pennrose Mall (Turner Drive)
in Reidsville. In Eden the Bank has branches at Highway 14 (Van Buren Road), the
Eden Mall, and on N. Fieldcrest Road in the Draper community. All branch
locations except Draper in Eden and the corporate office in Reidsville include
automated teller machines. The properties are owned free and clear of
encumbrances, except the Draper and Eden Mall locations, which are occupied
under leases expiring in 2008 and 2001 respectively. Additional remote automated
teller machines are maintained in Reidsville on Freeway Drive near Belmont
Square and at Freeway Crossing Shopping Center, under leases expiring in 1998
and 2001. Additional land has been purchased at 605 N. Highway Street in
Madison, North Carolina, for the purpose of building a new office location
scheduled for completion in 1997.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

         The Registrant is not a party to any pending legal proceeding, nor is
its property the subject of any pending legal proceeding, other than routine
litigation incidental to its business.

ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.

         There were no matters submitted to a vote of the security holders of
the Registrant during the fourth quarter of the Registrant's fiscal year ending
December 31, 1996.

                          ARTICLE III - ADMINISTRATION


3.1          This Plan shall be administered by the Committee.  Members
             of the Committee may vote on any matters affecting the
             administration of the Plan or the grant of Awards pursuant
             to the Plan, except that no such member shall act upon the
             granting of an Award to himself or herself, but any such
             member may be counted in determining the existence of a
             quorum at any meeting of the Committee or Board during which
             action is taken with respect to the granting of an Award to
             such member.  The Committee, in its discretion, may delegate
             to one or more of its members such of its powers as it deems
             appropriate.  The Committee also may limit the power of any
             member to the extent necessary to comply with Rule 16b-3
             under the Act or any other law.  Members of the Committee
             shall be appointed originally, and as vacancies occur, by
             the Board, to serve at the pleasure of the Board.  The
             Board, in its discretion, may serve as the Committee, may
             administer all or any part of this Plan, or may require that
             all or any final actions or determinations by the Committee
             be made by or be subject to approval or ratification by the
             Board before becoming effective.  To the extent all or any
             decisions, actions, or determinations relating to the
             administration of the Plan are made by the Board, the Board
             shall have all power and authority granted to the Committee
             in this Article and otherwise in this Plan, and for these
             purposes, all references to the "Committee" herein shall be
             deemed to include the Board.

3.2          The Committee shall meet at such times and places as it
             determines.  A majority of its members shall constitute a
             quorum, and the decision of a majority of those present at
             any meeting at which a quorum is present shall constitute
             the decision of the Committee.  A memorandum signed by all
             of its members shall constitute the decision of the
             Committee without necessity, in such event, for holding an
             actual meeting.

3.3          The Committee shall have the exclusive right to interpret,
             construe and administer the Plan, to select the persons who
             are eligible to receive an Award, and to act in all matters
             pertaining to the granting of an Award and the contents of
             the Agreement evidencing the Award, including, without
             limitation, the determination of the number of Stock
             Options, Stock Rights, shares of Stock or Performance Shares
             subject to an Award and the form, terms, conditions and
             duration of each Award, and any amendment thereof consistent
             with the provisions of the Plan.  All acts, determinations
             and decisions of the Committee made or taken pursuant to
             grants of authority under the Plan or with respect to any
             questions arising in connection with the administration and


                                        8

<PAGE>   11



             interpretation of the Plan, including the severability of any and
             all of the provisions thereof, shall be conclusive, final and
             binding upon all Participants, Eligible Participants and their
             beneficiaries.

3.4          The Committee may adopt such rules, regulations and
             procedures of general application for the administration of
             this Plan, as it deems appropriate.

3.5          Without limiting the foregoing Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 and
             3.4, and notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan,
             the Committee is authorized to take such action as it
             determines to be necessary or advisable, and fair and
             equitable to Participants, with respect to an Award in the
             event of an Acceleration Event as defined in Article XIII.
             Such action may include, but shall not be limited to,
             establishing, amending or waiving the forms, terms,
             conditions and duration of an Award and the Award Agreement,
             so as to provide for earlier, later, extended or additional
             times for exercise or payments, differing methods for
             calculating payments, alternate forms and amounts of
             payment, an accelerated release of restrictions or other
             modifications.  The Committee may take such actions pursuant
             to this Section 3.5 by adopting rules and regulations of
             general applicability to all Participants or to certain
             categories of Participants, by including, amending or
             waiving terms and conditions in an Award and the Award
             Agreement, or by taking action with respect to individual
             Participants.

3.6          The aggregate number of shares of Stock which are subject to
             an Award under the Plan shall be one hundred fifty thousand

             other similar plan of the Corporation, in the number of
             authorized and issued shares of Stock above the number of
             authorized and outstanding shares as of the Effective Date.
             Such shares of Stock shall be made available from authorized
             and unissued shares of the Corporation.

             (a)      If, for any reason, any shares of Stock or Performance
                      Shares awarded or subject to purchase under the Plan
                      are not delivered or purchased, or are reacquired by
                      the Corporation, for reasons including, but not limited
                      to, a forfeiture of Restricted Stock or termination,
                      expiration or cancellation of a Stock Option, Stock
                      Right or Performance Share, or any other termination of
                      an Award without payment being made in the form of
                      Stock (whether or not Restricted Stock), such shares of
                      Stock or Performance Shares shall not be charged
                      against the aggregate number of shares of Stock


                                        9

<PAGE>   12



                      available for Award under the Plan, and shall again be
                      available for Award under the Plan.

             (b)      For all purposes under the Plan, each Performance Share
                      awarded shall be counted as one share of Stock subject to
                      an Award.

             (c)      To the extent a Stock Right granted in connection with
                      a Stock Option is exercised without payment being made
                      in the form of Stock (whether or not Restricted Stock),
                      the shares of Stock which otherwise would have been
                      issued upon the exercise of such related Stock Option
                      shall not be charged against the aggregate number of
                      shares of Stock subject to an Award under the Plan, and
                      shall again be available for Award under the Plan.

3.7          Each Award granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by a
             written Award Agreement.  Each Award Agreement shall be
             subject to and incorporate (by reference or otherwise) the
             applicable terms and conditions of the Plan, and any other
             terms and conditions (not inconsistent with the Plan)
             required by the Committee.

3.8          The Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver
             any certificates for shares of Stock prior to:

             (a)      the listing of such shares on any stock exchange on
                      which the Stock may then be listed; and

             (b)      the completion of any registration or qualification of
                      such shares of Stock under any federal or state law, or
                      any ruling or regulation of any government body which the
                      Corporation shall, in its discretion, determine to be
                      necessary or advisable.

3.9          All certificates for shares of Stock delivered under the
             Plan shall also be subject to such stop-transfer orders and
             other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under
             the rules, regulations, and other requirements of the
             Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange upon
             which the Stock is then listed and any applicable federal or
             state laws, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends
             to be placed on any such certificates to make appropriate
             reference to such restrictions.  In making such
             determination, the Committee may rely upon an opinion of
             counsel for the Corporation.

3.10         Subject to the restrictions on Restricted Stock, as provided in
             Article VIII of the Plan and in the Restricted Stock Award
             Agreement, each Participant who receives an Award of Restricted
             Stock shall have all of the rights of a stockholder with respect to

             possess voting rights and receive dividends and other
             distributions. Except as provided otherwise in the Plan or in an
             Award Agreement, no Participant awarded a Stock Option, Stock
             Right, Deferred Stock, Stock Award or Performance Share shall have
             any right as a stockholder with respect to any shares of Stock
             covered by his or her Stock Option, Stock Right, Deferred Stock,
             Stock Award or Performance Share prior to the date of issuance to
             him or her of a certificate or certificates for such shares of
             Stock.

3.11         If any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification,
             stock split-up, stock dividend, or consolidation of shares
             of Stock, merger or consolidation of the Corporation or its
             Subsidiaries or sale or other disposition by the Corporation
             or its Subsidiaries of all or a portion of its assets, any
             other change in the Corporation's or its Subsidiaries'
             corporate structure, or any distribution to stockholders
             other than a cash dividend results in the outstanding shares
             of Stock, or any securities exchanged therefor or received
             in their place, being exchanged for a different number or
             class of shares of Stock or other securities of the
             Corporation, or for shares of Stock or other securities of
             any other corporation; or new, different or additional
             shares or other securities of the Corporation or of any
             other corporation being received by the holders of
             outstanding shares of Stock, then equitable adjustments
             shall be made by the Committee in:

             (a)      the limitation of the aggregate number of shares of Stock

                      the Code) of the Plan;

             (b)      the number and class of Stock that may be subject to an
                      Award, and which have not been issued or transferred

                      Rights; and

                      Award Agreement, including the price payable for the

                      adjustments made as the result of the foregoing in
                      respect of each Incentive Stock Option shall be made so
                      that such Stock Option shall continue to be an
                      Incentive Stock Option, as defined in Section 422 of
                      the Code.

3.12         In addition to such other rights of indemnification as they
             may have as directors or as members of the Committee, the
             members of the Committee shall be indemnified by the
             Corporation against reasonable expenses, including
             attorney's fees, actually and necessarily incurred in
             connection with the defense of any action, suit or
             proceeding, or in connection with any appeal therein, to
             which they or any of them may be a party by reason of any
             action taken or failure to act under or in connection with
             the Plan or any Award granted thereunder, and against all
             amounts paid by them in settlement thereof (provided such
             settlement is approved by independent legal counsel selected
             by the Corporation) or paid by them in satisfaction of a
             judgment or settlement in any such action, suit or
             proceeding, except as to matters as to which the Committee
             member has been negligent or engaged in misconduct in the
             performance of his duties; provided, that within sixty (60)
             days after institution of any such action, suit or
             proceeding, a Committee member shall in writing offer the
             Corporation the opportunity, at its own expense, to handle
             and defend the same.

3.13         The Committee may require each person purchasing shares of
             Stock pursuant to a Stock Option or other Award under the
             Plan to represent to and agree with the Corporation in
             writing that he is acquiring the shares of Stock without a
             view to distribution thereof.  The certificates for such
             shares of Stock may include any legend which the Committee
             deems appropriate to reflect any restrictions on transfer.

3.14         The Committee shall be authorized to make adjustments in a
             performance based criteria or in the terms and conditions of
             other Awards in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring
             events affecting the Corporation (or any Subsidiary, if
             applicable) or its financial statements or changes in
             applicable laws, regulations or accounting principles.  The
             Committee may correct any defect, supply any omission or
             reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or any Award
             Agreement in the manner and to the extent it shall deem
             desirable to carry it into effect.  In the event the
             Corporation (or any Subsidiary, if applicable) shall assume
             outstanding employee benefit awards or the right or
             obligation to make future such awards in connection with the
             acquisition of another corporation or business entity, the
             Committee may, in its discretion, make such adjustments in
             the terms of Awards under the Plan as it shall deem
             appropriate.

3.15         The Committee shall have full power and authority to determine
             whether, to what extent and under what circumstances, any Award
             shall be canceled or suspended. In particular, but without
             limitation, all outstanding Awards

<PAGE>   15



             to any Participant shall be canceled if (a) the Participant,
             without the consent of the Committee, while employed by the
             Corporation or any Subsidiary or after termination of such
             employment, becomes associated with, employed by, renders services
             to, or owns any interest in (other than any nonsubstantial
             interest, as determined by the Committee), any business that is in
             competition with the Corporation or with any business in which the
             Corporation and/or its Subsidiaries have a substantial interest as
             determined by the Committee; or (b) is terminated for cause as
             determined by the Committee.

3.16         Subject to the limitations of Section 3.6, and pursuant to
             the requirements of section 162(m) of the Code and the
             regulations promulgated thereunder, and to the extent
             required thereunder, the maximum number of shares of Stock
             with respect to which an Award or Awards of Stock Options
             and/or Stock Rights under the Plan may be granted during any
             calendar year to any employee shall be twenty thousand
             (20,000) shares; provided, however, that if the number of
             shares of Stock with respect to which an Award or Awards of
             Stock Options and/or Stock Rights under the Plan are granted
             during a calendar year to any employee is less than twenty
             thousand (20,000) shares, or if no Award of Stock Options
             and/or Stock Rights under the Plan is granted during any
             calendar year to such employee, then the amount of such
             shortfall shall be carried forward and added to the maximum
             number of shares of Stock with respect to which an Award or
             Awards of Stock Options and/or Stock Rights under the Plan
             may be granted in a subsequent calendar year to such
             employee.

                      ARTICLE IV - INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS


4.1          Each provision of this Article IV and of each Incentive
             Stock Option granted hereunder shall be construed in
             accordance with the provisions of Section 422 of the Code,
             and any provision hereof that cannot be so construed shall
             be disregarded.  Incentive Stock Options shall be granted
             only to Eligible Participants, each of whom may be granted
             one or more such Incentive Stock Options at such time or
             times determined by the Committee following the Effective
             Date until June 12, 2006, subject to the following
             conditions:

             (a)      The Incentive Stock Option price per share of Stock shall
                      be set in the Award Agreement, but shall not be less than
                      one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of the
                      Stock at the time of the Option Grant Date.

             (b)      The Incentive Stock Option and its related Stock Right,
                      if any, may be exercised in full or in part from time
                      to time within ten (10) years from the Option Grant
                      Date, or such shorter period as may be specified by the
                      Committee in the Award; provided, that in any event,
                      the Incentive Stock Option and related Stock Right
                      shall lapse and cease to be exercisable upon, or within
                      such period following, a Termination of Employment as
                      shall have been determined by the Committee and as
                      specified in the Incentive Stock Option Award Agreement
                      or its related Stock Right Award Agreement; provided,
                      however, that such period following a Termination of
                      Employment shall not exceed three (3) months unless
                      employment shall have terminated:

                      (i)     as a result of death or Disability, in which
                              event, such period shall not exceed one year
                              after the date of death or Disability; and

                      (ii)    as a result of death, if death shall have occurred
                              following a Termination of Employment and while
                              the Incentive Stock Option or Stock Right was
                              still exercisable, in which event, such period
                              shall not exceed one year after the date of death;

                      provided, further, that such period following a
                      Termination of Employment shall in no event extend the
                      original exercise period of the Incentive Stock Option or
                      any related Stock Right.

             (c)      The aggregate Fair Market Value, determined as of the
                      Option Grant Date, of the shares of Stock with respect to
                      which Incentive Stock Options are first exercisable during
                      any calendar year by any Eligible Participant shall not
                      exceed one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000); provided,
                      however, to the extent permitted under Section 422 of the
                      Code:

                      (i)     if a Participant's employment is terminated by
                              reason of death, Disability or Retirement and the
                              portion of any Incentive Stock Option that is
                              otherwise exercisable during the post-termination
                              period applied without regard to the one hundred
                              thousand dollar ($100,000) limitation contained
                              in Section 422 of the Code is greater than the
                              portion of such option that is immediately
                              exercisable as an Incentive Stock Option during
                              such post-termination period under Section 422,
                              such excess shall be treated as a Nonqualified
                              Stock Option; and

                      (ii)    if the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option is
                              accelerated by reason of an Acceleration Event,
                              any portion of such Award that is not exercisable
                              as an Incentive Stock Option by reason of the one
                              hundred thousand dollar ($100,000) limitation
                              contained in Section 422 of the Code shall be
                              treated as a Nonqualified Stock Option.

             (d)      Incentive Stock Options shall be granted only to an
                      Eligible Participant who, at the time of the Option
                      Grant Date, does not own stock possessing more than 10%
                      of the total combined voting power of all classes of
                      stock of the Corporation; provided, however, the
                      foregoing restriction shall not apply if at the time of
                      the Option Grant Date the option price is at least one
                      hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of
                      the Stock subject to the Incentive Stock Option and
                      such Incentive Stock Option by its terms is not
                      exercisable after the expiration of five (5) years from
                      the Option Grant Date.

             (e)      Subject to the limitations of Section 3.6, the maximum
                      number of shares of Stock subject to Incentive Stock
                      Option Awards shall be one hundred fifty thousand
                      (150,000).

             (f)      The Committee may adopt any other terms and conditions
                      which it determines should be imposed for the Incentive
                      Stock Option to qualify under Section 422 of the Code, as
                      well as any other terms and conditions not


                                       15

<PAGE>   18



                      inconsistent with this Article IV as determined by the
                      Committee.

4.2          The Committee may at any time offer to buy out for a payment
             in cash, Stock, Deferred Stock or Restricted Stock an
             Incentive Stock Option previously granted, based on such
             terms and conditions as the Committee shall establish and
             communicate to the Participant at the time that such offer
             is made.

4.3          If the Incentive Stock Option Award Agreement so provides,
             the Committee may require that all or part of the shares of
             Stock to be issued upon the exercise of an Incentive Stock
             Option shall take the form of Deferred or Restricted Stock,
             which shall be valued on the date of exercise, as determined
             by the Committee, on the basis of the Fair Market Value of
             such Deferred Stock or Restricted Stock determined without
             regard to the deferral limitations and/or forfeiture
             restrictions involved.

                     ARTICLE V - NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTIONS


5.1          One or more Stock Options may be granted as Nonqualified
             Stock Options to Eligible Participants to purchase shares of
             Stock at such time or times determined by the Committee,
             following the Effective Date, subject to the terms and
             conditions set forth in this Article V.

5.2          The Nonqualified Stock Option price per share of Stock shall
             be established in the Award Agreement and may be less than
             one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value at the
             time of the grant, or at such later date as the Committee
             shall determine.

5.3          The Nonqualified Stock Option and its related Stock Right,
             if any, may be exercised in full or in part from time to
             time within such period as may be specified by the Committee
             or in the Award Agreement; provided, that, in any event, the
             Nonqualified Stock Option and the related Stock Right shall
             lapse and cease to be exercisable upon, or within such
             period following, Termination of Employment as shall have
             been determined by the Committee and as specified in the
             Nonqualified Stock Option Award Agreement or Stock Right
             Award Agreement; provided, however, that such period
             following Termination of Employment shall not exceed three
             (3) months unless employment shall have terminated:

             (a)      as a result of Retirement or Disability, in which event,
                      such period shall not exceed one year after the date of
                      Retirement or Disability, or within such longer period as
                      the Committee may specify; and

             (b)      as a result of death, or if death shall have occurred
                      following a Termination of Employment and while the
                      Nonqualified Stock Option or Stock Right was still
                      exercisable, in which event, such period may exceed one
                      year after the date of death, as provided by the Committee
                      or in the Award Agreement.

5.4          The Nonqualified Stock Option Award Agreement may include
             any other terms and conditions not inconsistent with this
             Article V or in Article VII, as determined by the Committee.

                     ARTICLE VI - STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS


6.1          A Stock Appreciation Right may be granted to an Eligible
             Participant in connection with an Incentive Stock Option or
             a Nonqualified Stock Option granted under Article IV or
             Article V of this Plan, or may be granted independent of any
             related Stock Option.

6.2          A related Stock Appreciation Right shall entitle a holder of
             a Stock Option, within the period specified for the exercise
             of the Stock Option, to surrender the unexercised Stock
             Option (or a portion thereof) and to receive in exchange
             therefor a payment in cash or shares of Stock having an
             aggregate value equal to the amount by which the Fair Market
             Value of each share of Stock exceeds the Stock Option price
             per share of Stock, times the number of shares of Stock
             under the Stock Option, or portion thereof, which is
             surrendered.

6.3          Each related Stock Appreciation Right granted hereunder
             shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as the
             related Stock Option, including limitations on
             transferability, if any, and shall be exercisable only to
             the extent such Stock Option is exercisable and shall
             terminate or lapse and cease to be exercisable when the
             related Stock Option terminates or lapses.  The grant of
             Stock Appreciation Rights related to Incentive Stock Options
             must be concurrent with the grant of the Incentive Stock
             Options.  With respect to Nonqualified Stock Options, the
             grant either may be concurrent with the grant of the
             Nonqualified Stock Options, or in connection with
             Nonqualified Stock Options previously granted under Article
             V, which are unexercised and have not terminated or lapsed.

6.4          The Committee shall have sole discretion to determine in
             each case whether the payment with respect to the exercise
             of a Stock Appreciation Right will be in the form of all
             cash, all Stock, or any combination thereof.  If payment is
             to be made in Stock, the number of shares of Stock shall be
             determined based on the Fair Market Value of the Stock on
             the date of exercise.  If the Committee elects to make full
             payment in Stock, no fractional shares of Stock shall be
             issued and cash payments shall be made in lieu of fractional
             shares.

6.5          The Committee shall have sole discretion as to the timing of
             any payment made in cash, Stock, or a combination thereof,
             upon exercise of Stock Appreciation Rights.  Payment may be
             made in a lump sum, in annual installments or may be
             otherwise deferred; and the Committee shall have sole


                                       18

<PAGE>   21



             discretion to determine whether any deferred payments may bear
             amounts equivalent to interest or cash dividends.

6.6          Upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, the number of
             shares of Stock subject to exercise under any related Stock
             Option shall automatically be reduced by the number of
             shares of Stock represented by the Stock Option or portion
             thereof which is surrendered.

6.7          The Committee, in its sole discretion, may also provide
             that, in the event of a Change in Control and/or a Potential
             Change in Control, the amount to be paid upon the exercise
             of a Stock Appreciation Right or Limited Stock Appreciation
             Right shall be based on the Change in Control Price, subject
             to such terms and conditions as the Committee may specify at
             grant.

6.8          In its sole discretion, the Committee may grant Limited
             Stock Appreciation Rights under this Article VI.  Limited
             Stock Appreciation Rights become exercisable only in the
             event of a Change in Control and/or a Potential Change in
             Control, subject to such terms and conditions as the
             Committee, in its sole discretion, may specify at grant.
             Such Limited Stock Appreciation Rights shall be settled
             solely in cash.  A Limited Stock Appreciation Right shall
             entitle the holder of the related Stock Option to surrender
             such Stock Option, or any portion thereof, to the extent
             unexercised in respect of the number of shares of Stock as
             to which such Limited Stock Appreciation Right is exercised,
             and to receive a cash payment equal to the difference
             between (a) the Stock Appreciation Right Fair Market Value
             (at the date of surrender) of a share of Stock for which the
             surrendered Stock Option or portion thereof is then
             exercisable, and (b) the price at which a Participant could
             exercise a related Stock Option to purchase the share of
             Stock.  Such Stock Option shall, to the extent so
             surrendered, thereupon cease to be exercisable.  A Limited
             Stock Appreciation Right shall be subject to such further
             terms and conditions as the Committee shall, in its sole
             discretion, deem appropriate.

            ARTICLE VII - INCIDENTS OF STOCK OPTIONS AND STOCK RIGHTS


7.1          Each Stock Option and Stock Right shall be granted subject
             to such terms and conditions, if any, not inconsistent with
             this Plan, as shall be determined by the Committee,
             including any provisions as to continued employment as
             consideration for the grant or exercise of such Stock Option
             or Stock Right and any provisions which may be advisable to
             comply with applicable laws, regulations or rulings of any
             governmental authority.

7.2          An Incentive Stock Option and its related Stock Right, if
             any, shall not be transferable by the Participant other than
             by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and
             shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the Participant
             only by him or by his guardian or legal representative.  A
             Nonqualified Stock Option and its related Stock Right, if
             any, shall be subject to the transferability and
             exercisability restrictions of the immediately preceding
             sentence unless otherwise determined by the Committee, in
             its sole discretion, and set forth in the applicable Award
             Agreement.

7.3          Shares of Stock purchased upon exercise of a Stock Option
             shall be paid for in such amounts, at such times and upon
             such terms as shall be determined by the Committee, subject
             to limitations set forth in the Stock Option Award
             Agreement.  Without limiting the foregoing, the Committee
             may establish payment terms for the exercise of Stock
             Options which permit the Participant to deliver shares of
             Stock (or other evidence of ownership of Stock satisfactory
             to the Corporation) with a Fair Market Value equal to the
             Stock Option price as payment.

7.4          No cash dividends shall be paid on shares of Stock subject
             to unexercised Stock Options.  The Committee may provide,
             however, that a Participant to whom a Stock Option has been
             granted which is exercisable in whole or in part at a future
             time for shares of Stock shall be entitled to receive an
             amount per share equal in value to the cash dividends, if
             any, paid per share on issued and outstanding Stock, as of
             the dividend record dates occurring during the period
             between the date of the grant and the time each such share
             of Stock is delivered pursuant to exercise of such Stock
             Option or the related Stock Right.  Such amounts (herein
             called "dividend equivalents") may, in the discretion of the
             Committee, be:

             (a)      paid in cash or Stock either from time to time prior
                      to, or at the time of the delivery of, such Stock, or


                                       20

<PAGE>   23



                      upon expiration of the Stock Option if it shall not
                      have been fully exercised; or

             (b)      converted into contingently credited shares of Stock (with
                      respect to which dividend equivalents may accrue) in such
                      manner, at such value, and deliverable at such time or
                      times, as may be determined by the Committee.

             Such Stock (whether delivered or contingently credited) shall be
             charged against the limitations set forth in Section 3.6.

7.5          The Committee, in its sole discretion, may authorize payment
             of interest equivalents on dividend equivalents which are
             payable in cash at a future time.

7.6          In the event of death or Disability, the Committee, with the
             consent of the Participant or his legal representative, may
             authorize payment, in cash or in Stock, or partly in cash
             and partly in Stock, as the Committee may direct, of an
             amount equal to the difference at the time between the Fair
             Market Value of the Stock subject to a Stock Option and the
             Option price in consideration of the surrender of the Stock
             Option.

7.7          If a Participant is required to pay to the Corporation an
             amount with respect to income and employment tax withholding
             obligations in connection with exercise of a Nonqualified
             Stock Option, and/or with respect to certain dispositions of
             Stock acquired upon the exercise of an Incentive Stock
             Option, the Committee, in its discretion and subject to such
             rules as it may adopt, may permit the Participant to satisfy
             the obligation, in whole or in part, by making an
             irrevocable election that a portion of the total Fair Market
             Value of the shares of Stock subject to the Nonqualified
             Stock Option and/or with respect to certain dispositions of
             Stock acquired upon the exercise of an Incentive Stock
             Option, be paid in the form of cash in lieu of the issuance
             of Stock and that such cash payment be applied to the
             satisfaction of the withholding obligations.  The amount to
             be withheld shall not exceed the statutory minimum Federal
             and State income and employment tax liability arising from
             the Stock Option exercise transaction.

7.8          The Committee may permit the voluntary surrender of all or
             a portion of any Stock Option granted under the Plan to be
             conditioned upon the granting to the Participant of a new
             Stock Option for the same or a different number of shares of
             Stock as the Stock Option surrendered, or may require such
             voluntary surrender as a condition precedent to a grant of
             a new Stock Option to such Participant.  Subject to the
             provisions of the Plan, such new Stock Option shall be


                                       21

<PAGE>   24



             exercisable at the same price, during such period and on such other
             terms and conditions as are specified by the Committee at the time
             the new Stock Option is granted. Upon surrender, the Stock Options
             surrendered shall be canceled and the shares of Stock previously
             subject to them shall be available for the grant of other Stock
             Options.

                         ARTICLE VIII - RESTRICTED STOCK


8.1          Restricted Stock Awards may be made to certain Participants
             as an incentive for the performance of future services that
             will contribute materially to the successful operation of
             the Corporation and its Subsidiaries.  Awards of Restricted
             Stock may be made either alone, in addition to or in tandem
             with other Awards granted under the Plan and/or cash
             payments made outside of the Plan.

8.2          With respect to Awards of Restricted Stock, the Committee
             shall:

             (a)      determine the purchase price, if any, to be paid for such
                      Restricted Stock, which may be equal to or less than par
                      value and may be zero, subject to such minimum
                      consideration as may be required by applicable law;

             (b)      determine the length of the Restriction Period;

             (c)      determine any restrictions applicable to the Restricted
                      Stock such as service or performance, other than those
                      set forth in this Article VIII;

             (d)      determine if the restrictions shall lapse as to all shares
                      of Restricted Stock at the end of the Restriction Period
                      or as to a portion of the shares of Restricted Stock in
                      installments during the Restriction Period; and

             (e)      determine if dividends and other distributions on the
                      Restricted Stock are to be paid currently to the
                      Participant or withheld by the Corporation for the
                      account of the Participant.

8.3          Awards of Restricted Stock must be accepted within a period
             of sixty (60) days (or such shorter periods as the Committee
             may specify at grant) after the Award date, by executing a
             Restricted Stock Award Agreement and paying whatever price
             (if any) is required.

             The prospective recipient of a Restricted Stock Award shall not
             have any rights with respect to such Award, unless such recipient
             has executed a Restricted Stock Award Agreement and has delivered a
             fully executed copy thereof to the Committee, and has otherwise
             complied with the applicable terms and conditions of such Award.

8.4          Except when the Committee determines otherwise, or as
             otherwise provided in the Restricted Stock Award Agreement,
             if a Participant terminates employment with the Corporation


                                       23

<PAGE>   26



             or its Subsidiaries for any reason before the expiration of the
             Restriction Period, all shares of Restricted Stock still subject to
             restriction shall be forfeited by the Participant and shall be
             reacquired by the Corporation.

8.5          Except as otherwise provided in this Article VIII, no shares
             of Restricted Stock received by a Participant shall be sold,
             exchanged, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise
             disposed of during the Restriction Period.

8.6          To the extent not otherwise provided in a Restricted Stock
             Award Agreement, in cases of death, Disability or Retirement
             or in cases of special circumstances, the Committee, if it
             finds that a waiver would be appropriate, may elect to waive
             any or all remaining restrictions with respect to such
             Participant's Restricted Stock.

8.7          In the event of hardship or other special circumstances of
             a Participant whose employment with the Corporation or any
             Subsidiary is involuntarily terminated (other than for
             cause), the Committee may waive in whole or in part any or
             all remaining restrictions with respect to any or all of the
             Participant's Restricted Stock, based on such factors and
             criteria as the Committee may deem appropriate.

8.8          The certificates representing shares of Restricted Stock may
             either:

             (a)      be held in custody by the Corporation until the
                      Restriction Period expires or until restrictions thereon
                      otherwise lapse, and the Participant shall deliver to the
                      Corporation a stock power endorsed in blank relating to
                      the Restricted Stock; and/or

             (b)      be issued to the Participant and registered in the name of
                      the Participant, and shall bear an appropriate restrictive
                      legend and shall be subject to appropriate stop-transfer
                      orders.

8.9          Except as provided in this Article VIII, a Participant
             receiving a Restricted Stock Award shall have, with respect
             to the shares of Restricted Stock covered by any Award, all
             of the rights of a shareholder of the Corporation, including
             the right to vote the shares to the extent, if any, such
             shares possess voting rights, and the right to receive any
             dividends; provided, however, the Committee may require that
             any dividends on such shares of Restricted Stock shall be
             automatically deferred and reinvested in additional
             Restricted Stock subject to the same restrictions as the
             underlying Award, or may require that dividends and other
             distributions on Restricted Stock shall be withheld by the
             Corporation for the account of the Participant.  The


                                       24

<PAGE>   27



             Committee shall determine whether interest shall be paid on amounts
             withheld, the rate of any such interest, and the other terms
             applicable to such withheld amounts.

8.10         If and when the Restriction Period expires without a prior
             forfeiture of the Restricted Stock subject to such Restriction
             Period, unrestricted certificates for such shares shall be
             delivered to the Participant.

8.11         In order to better ensure that Award payments actually
             reflect the performance of the Corporation and its
             Subsidiaries and the service of the Participant, the
             Committee may provide, in its sole discretion, for a tandem
             performance-based or other Award designed to guarantee a
             minimum value, payable in cash or Stock to the recipient of
             a Restricted Stock Award, subject to such performance,
             future service, deferral and other terms and conditions as
             may be specified by the Committee.

                           ARTICLE IX - DEFERRED STOCK


9.1          Shares of Deferred Stock (together with cash dividend
             equivalents, if so determined by the Committee) may be
             issued either alone or in addition to other Awards granted
             under the Plan in the discretion of the Committee.  The
             Committee shall determine the individuals to whom, and the
             time or times at which, such Awards will be made, the number
             of shares to be awarded, the price (if any) to be paid by
             the recipient of a Deferred Stock Award, the time or times
             within which such Awards may be subject to forfeiture, and
             all other conditions of the Awards.  The Committee may
             condition Awards of Deferred Stock upon the attainment of
             specified performance goals or such other factors or
             criteria as the Committee may determine.

9.2          Deferred Stock Awards shall be subject to the following
             terms and conditions:

             (a)      Subject to the provisions of this Plan and the
                      applicable Award Agreement, Deferred Stock Awards may
                      not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or
                      otherwise encumbered during the Deferral Period. At the
                      expiration of the Deferral Period (or the Elective
                      Deferral Period defined in Section 9.3), share
                      certificates shall be delivered to the Participant, or
                      his legal representative, in a number equal to the
                      number of shares of Stock covered by the Deferred Stock
                      Award.

                      Based on service, performance and/or such other factors or
                      criteria as the Committee may determine, the Committee,
                      however, at or after grant, may accelerate the vesting of
                      all or any part of any Deferred Stock Award and/or waive
                      the deferral limitations for all or any part of such
                      Award.

             (b)      Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, amounts
                      equal to any dividends that would have been payable
                      during the Deferral Period with respect to the number
                      of shares of Stock covered by a Deferred Stock Award if
                      such shares of Stock had been outstanding shall be
                      automatically deferred and deemed to be reinvested in
                      additional Deferred Stock, subject to the same deferral
                      limitations as the underlying Award.

             (c)      Except to the extent otherwise provided in this Plan or in
                      the applicable Award Agreement, upon Termination of
                      Employment during the Deferral Period for a given Award,
                      the Deferred Stock covered by such Award shall be
                      forfeited by the Participant; provided, however, the


                                       26

<PAGE>   29



                      Committee may provide for accelerated vesting in the event
                      of Termination of Employment due to death, Disability or
                      Retirement, or in the event of hardship or other special
                      circumstances as the Committee deems appropriate.

             (d)      The Committee may require that a designated percentage
                      of the total Fair Market Value of the shares of
                      Deferred Stock held by one or more Participants be paid
                      in the form of cash in lieu of the issuance of Stock
                      and that such cash payment be applied to the
                      satisfaction of the federal and state income and
                      employment tax withholding obligations that arise at
                      the time the Deferred Stock becomes free of all
                      restrictions.  The designated percentage shall be equal
                      to the income and employment tax withholding rate in
                      effect at the time under federal and applicable state
                      laws.

             (e)      The Committee may provide one or more Participants
                      subject to the mandatory cash payment with an election
                      to receive an additional percentage of the total value
                      of the Deferred Stock in the form of a cash payment in
                      lieu of the issuance of Deferred Stock.  The additional
                      percentage shall not exceed the difference between
                      fifty percent (50%) and the designated percentage cash
                      payment.

             (f)      The Committee may impose such further terms and conditions
                      on partial cash payments with respect to Deferred Stock as
                      it deems appropriate.

9.3          A Participant may elect to further defer receipt of Deferred
             Stock for a specified period or until a specified event (the
             "Elective Deferral Period"), subject in each case to the
             Committee's approval and to such terms as are determined by
             the Committee.  Subject to any exceptions adopted by the
             Committee, such election must generally be made at least
             twelve (12) months prior to completion of the Deferral
             Period for the Deferred Stock Award in question (or for the
             applicable installment of such an Award).

9.4          Each Award shall be confirmed by, and subject to the terms
             of, a Deferred Stock Award Agreement.

9.5          In order to better ensure that the Award actually reflects
             the performance of the Corporation or its Subsidiaries and
             the service of the Participant, the Committee may provide,
             in its sole discretion, for a tandem performance-based or
             other Award designed to guarantee a minimum value, payable
             in cash or Stock to the recipient of a Deferred Stock Award,
             subject to such performance, future service, deferral and

             other terms and conditions as may be specified by the
             Committee.

                            ARTICLE X - STOCK AWARDS


10.1         A Stock Award shall be granted only in payment of compensation that
             has been earned or as compensation to be earned, including, without
             limitation, compensation awarded concurrently with or prior to the
             grant of the Stock Award.

10.2         For the purposes of this Plan, in determining the value of
             a Stock Award, all shares of Stock subject to such Stock
             Award shall be valued at not less than one hundred percent
             (100%) of the Fair Market Value of such shares of Stock on
             the date such Stock Award is granted, regardless of whether
             or when such shares of Stock are issued or transferred to
             the Participant and whether or not such shares of Stock are
             subject to restrictions which affect their value.

10.3         Shares of Stock subject to a Stock Award may be issued or
             transferred to the Participant at the time the Stock Award
             is granted, or at any time subsequent thereto, or in
             installments from time to time, as the Committee shall
             determine.  If any such issuance or transfer shall not be
             made to the Participant at the time the Stock Award is
             granted, the Committee may provide for payment to such
             Participant, either in cash or shares of Stock, from time to
             time or at the time or times such shares of Stock shall be
             issued or transferred to such Participant, of amounts not
             exceeding the dividends which would have been payable to
             such Participant in respect of such shares of Stock (as
             adjusted under Section 3.11) if such shares of Stock had
             been issued or transferred to such Participant at the time
             such Stock Award was granted.  Any issuance payable in
             shares of Stock under the terms of a Stock Award, at the
             discretion of the Committee, may be paid in cash on each
             date on which delivery of shares of Stock would otherwise
             have been made, in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value
             on such date of the shares of Stock which would otherwise
             have been delivered.

10.4         A Stock Award shall be subject to such terms and conditions,
             including, without limitation, restrictions on the sale or
             other disposition of the Stock Award or of the shares of
             Stock issued or transferred pursuant to such Stock Award, as
             the Committee shall determine; provided, however, that upon
             the issuance or transfer of shares pursuant to a Stock
             Award, the Participant, with respect to such shares of
             Stock, shall be and become a shareholder of the Corporation
             fully entitled to receive dividends, to vote to the extent,
             if any, such shares possess voting rights and to exercise
             all other rights of a shareholder except to the extent
             otherwise provided in the Stock Award.  Each Stock Award

             shall be evidenced by a written Award Agreement in such form as the
             Committee shall determine.

                         ARTICLE XI - PERFORMANCE SHARES


11.1         Awards of Performance Shares may be made to certain
             Participants as an incentive for the performance of future
             services that will contribute materially to the successful
             operation of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries.  Awards
             of Performance Shares may be made either alone, in addition
             to or in tandem with other Awards granted under the Plan
             and/or cash payments made outside of the Plan.

11.2         With respect to Awards of Performance Shares, which may be issued
             for no consideration or such minimum consideration as is required
             by applicable law, the Committee shall:

             (a)      determine and designate from time to time those
                      Participants to whom Awards of Performance Shares are
                      to be made;

             (b)      determine the performance period (the "Performance
                      Period") and/or performance objectives (the
                      "Performance Objectives") applicable to such Awards;

             (c)      determine the form of settlement of a Performance
                      Share; and

             (d)      generally determine the terms and conditions of each such
                      Award. At any date, each Performance Share shall have a
                      value equal to the Fair Market Value, determined as set
                      forth in Section 2.15.

11.3         Performance Periods may overlap, and Participants may participate
             simultaneously with respect to Performance Shares for which
             different Performance Periods are prescribed.

11.4         The Committee shall determine the Performance Objectives of
             Awards of Performance Shares.  Performance Objectives may
             vary from Participant to Participant and between Awards and
             shall be based upon such performance criteria or combination
             of factors as the Committee may deem appropriate, including
             for example, but not limited to, minimum earnings per share
             or return on equity.  If during the course of a Performance
             Period there shall occur significant events which the
             Committee expects to have a substantial effect on the
             applicable Performance Objectives during such period, the
             Committee may revise such Performance Objectives.

11.5         The Committee shall determine for each Participant the number of
             Performance Shares which shall be paid to the Participant if the
             applicable Performance Objectives are exceeded or met in whole or
             in part.

<PAGE>   34




11.6         If a Participant terminates service with the Corporation or
             its Subsidiaries during a Performance Period because of
             death, Disability, Retirement or under other circumstances
             in which the Committee in its discretion finds that a waiver
             would be appropriate, that Participant, as determined by the
             Committee, may be entitled to a payment of Performance
             Shares at the end of the Performance Period based upon the
             extent to which the Performance Objectives were satisfied at
             the end of such period and pro rated for the portion of the
             Performance Period during which the Participant was employed
             by the Corporation or any Subsidiary; provided, however, the
             Committee may provide for an earlier payment in settlement
             of such Performance Shares in such amount and under such
             terms and conditions as the Committee deems appropriate or
             desirable.  If a Participant terminates service with the
             Corporation or its Subsidiaries during a Performance Period
             for any other reason, then such Participant shall not be
             entitled to any payment with respect to that Performance
             Period unless the Committee shall otherwise determine.

11.7         Each Award of a Performance Share shall be paid in whole shares of
             Stock, or cash, or a combination of Stock and cash as the Committee
             shall determine, with payment to be made as soon as practicable
             after the end of the relevant Performance Period.

11.8         The Committee shall have the authority to approve requests
             by Participants to defer payment of Performance Shares on
             terms and conditions approved by the Committee and set forth
             in a written Award Agreement between the Participant and the
             Corporation or its Subsidiaries entered into in advance of
             the time of receipt or constructive receipt of payment by
             the Participant.

                     ARTICLE XII - OTHER STOCK-BASED AWARDS


12.1         Other awards of Stock and other awards that are valued in
             whole or in part by reference to, or are otherwise based on,
             Stock ("Other Stock-Based Awards"), including, without
             limitation, convertible preferred stock, convertible
             debentures, exchangeable securities, phantom stock and Stock
             awards or options valued by reference to book value or
             performance, may be granted either alone or in addition to
             or in tandem with Stock Options, Stock Rights, Restricted
             Stock, Deferred Stock or Stock Awards granted under the Plan
             and/or cash awards made outside of the Plan.

             Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have
             authority to determine the Eligible Participants to whom and the
             time or times at which such Awards shall be made, the number of
             shares of Stock subject to such Awards, and all other conditions of
             the Awards. The Committee also may provide for the grant of shares
             of Stock upon the completion of a specified Performance Period.

             The provisions of Other Stock-Based Awards need not be the same
             with respect to each recipient.

12.2         Other Stock-Based Awards made pursuant to this Article XII shall be
             subject to the following terms and conditions:

             (a)      Subject to the provisions of this Plan and the Award
                      Agreement, shares of Stock subject to Awards made under
                      this Article XII may not be sold, assigned, transferred,
                      pledged or otherwise encumbered prior to the date on which
                      the shares are issued, or, if later, the date on which any
                      applicable restriction, performance or deferral period
                      lapses.

             (b)      Subject to the provisions of this Plan and the Award
                      Agreement and unless otherwise determined by the
                      Committee at the time of the Award, the recipient of an
                      Award under this Article XII shall be entitled to
                      receive, currently or on a deferred basis, interest or
                      dividends or interest or dividend equivalents with
                      respect to the number of shares covered by the Award,
                      as determined at the time of the Award by the
                      Committee, in its sole discretion, and the Committee
                      may provide that such amounts (if any) shall be deemed
                      to have been reinvested in additional Stock or
                      otherwise reinvested.

             (c)      Any Award under this Article XII and any Stock covered
                      by any such Award shall vest or be forfeited to the


                                       33

<PAGE>   36



                      extent so provided in the Award Agreement, as
                      determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion.

             (d)      Upon the Participant's Retirement, Disability or death, or
                      in cases of special circumstances, the Committee may, in
                      its sole discretion, waive in whole or in part any or all
                      of the remaining limitations imposed hereunder (if any)
                      with respect to any or all of an Award under this Article
                      XII.

             (e)      Each Award under this Article XII shall be confirmed
                      by, and subject to the terms of, an Award Agreement.

             (f)      Stock (including securities convertible into Stock) issued
                      on a bonus basis under this Article XII may be issued for
                      no cash consideration.

12.3         Other Stock-Based Awards may include a phantom stock Award, which
             is subject to the following terms and conditions:

             (a)      The Committee shall select the Eligible Participants who
                      may receive phantom stock Awards. The Eligible Participant
                      shall be awarded a phantom stock unit, which shall be the
                      equivalent to a share of Stock.

             (b)      Under an Award of phantom stock, payment shall be made on
                      the dates or dates as specified by the Committee or as
                      stated in the Award Agreement and phantom stock Awards may
                      be settled in cash, Stock, or some combination thereof.

             (c)      The Committee shall determine such other terms and
                      conditions of each Award as it deems necessary in its sole
                      discretion.

                       ARTICLE XIII - ACCELERATION EVENTS


13.1         For the purposes of the Plan, an Acceleration Event shall occur in
             the event of a "Potential Change in Control," or "Change in
             Control" or a "Board-Approved Change in Control", as those terms
             are defined below.

13.2         A "Change in Control" shall be deemed to have occurred if:

             (a)      Any "Person" as defined in Section 3(a)(9) of the Act,
                      including a "group" (as that term is used in Sections
                      13(d)(3) and 14(d)(2) of the Act), but excluding the
                      Corporation and any Subsidiary and any employee benefit
                      plan sponsored or maintained by the Corporation and any
                      Subsidiary (including any trustee of such plan acting as
                      trustee) who:

                      (i)     makes a tender or exchange offer for any shares
                              of the Corporation's Stock (as defined below)
                              pursuant to which any shares of the Corporation's
                              Stock are purchased (an "Offer"); or

                      (ii)    together with its "affiliates" and "associates"
                              (as those terms are defined in Rule 12b-2 under
                              the Act) becomes the "Beneficial Owner" (within
                              the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Act) of at
                              least twenty percent (20%) of the Corporation's
                              Stock (an "Acquisition");

             (b)      The stockholders of the Corporation approve a definitive
                      agreement or plan to merge or consolidate the Corporation
                      with or into another corporation, to sell or otherwise
                      dispose of all or substantially all of its assets, or to
                      liquidate the Corporation (individually, a "Transaction");
                      or

             (c)      When, during any period of twenty-four (24) consecutive
                      months during the existence of the Plan, the
                      individuals who, at the beginning of such period,
                      constitute the Board (the "Incumbent Directors") cease
                      for any reason other than death to constitute at least
                      a majority thereof; provided, however, that a director
                      who was not a director at the beginning of such
                      twenty-four (24) month period shall be deemed to have
                      satisfied such twenty-four (24) month requirement (and
                      be an Incumbent Director) if such director was elected
                      by, or on the recommendation of or with the approval
                      of, at least two-thirds of the directors who then
                      qualified as Incumbent Directors either actually
                      (because they were directors at the beginning of such


                                       35

<PAGE>   38



                      twenty-four (24) month period) or by prior operation of
                      this Section 13.2(c).

13.3         A "Board-Approved Change in Control" shall be deemed to have
             occurred if the Offer, Acquisition or Transaction, as the case may
             be, is approved by a majority of the Directors serving as members
             of the Board at the time of the Potential Change in Control or
             Change in Control.

13.4         A "Potential Change in Control" means the happening of any
             one of the following:

             (a)      The approval by stockholders of an agreement by the
                      Corporation, the consummation of which would result in
                      a Change in Control of the Corporation, as defined in
                      Section 13.2; or

             (b)      The acquisition of Beneficial Ownership, directly or
                      indirectly, by any entity, person or group (other than
                      the Corporation or any Subsidiary or any Corporation or
                      Subsidiary employee benefit plan (including any trustee
                      of such plan acting as such trustee)) of securities of
                      the Corporation representing five percent (5%) or more
                      of the combined voting power of the Corporation's
                      outstanding securities and the adoption by the Board of
                      a resolution to the effect that a Potential Change in
                      Control of the Corporation has occurred for the
                      purposes of this Plan.

13.5         Upon the occurrence of an Acceleration Event, subject to the
             approval of the Committee if the Acceleration Event results from a
             Board-Approved Change in Control, all then outstanding Performance
             Shares with respect to which the applicable Performance Period has
             not been completed shall be paid as soon as practicable as follows:

             (a)      all Performance Objectives applicable to the Award of
                      Performance Shares shall be deemed to have been satisfied
                      to the extent necessary to result in payment of one
                      hundred percent (100%) of the Performance Shares covered
                      by the Award; and

             (b)      the applicable Performance Period shall be deemed to
                      have ended on the date of the Acceleration Event;

             (c)      the payment to the Participant shall be the amount
                      determined either by the Committee, in its sole
                      discretion, or in the manner stated in the Award
                      Agreement. This amount shall then be multiplied by a
                      fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full
                      calendar months of the applicable Performance Period that
                      have elapsed prior to the date of the Acceleration

                      Event, and the denominator of which is the total number
                      of months in the original Performance Period; and

             (d)      upon the making of any such payment, the Award Agreement
                      as to which it relates shall be deemed canceled and of no
                      further force and effect.

13.6         Upon the occurrence of an Acceleration Event, subject to the
             approval of the Committee if the Acceleration Event results from a
             Board-Approved Change in Control, the Committee in its discretion
             may declare any or all then outstanding Stock Options not
             previously exercisable and vested as immediately exercisable and
             fully vested, in whole or in part.

13.7         Upon the occurrence of an Acceleration Event, subject to the
             approval of the Committee if the Acceleration Event results
             from a Board-Approved Change in Control, the Committee in
             its discretion, may declare the restrictions applicable to
             Awards of Restricted Stock, Deferred Stock or Other Stock-
             Based Awards to have lapsed, in which case the Corporation
             shall remove all restrictive legends and stop-transfer
             orders applicable to the certificates for such shares of
             Stock, and deliver such certificates to the Participants in
             whose names they are registered.

13.8         The value of all outstanding Stock Option, Stock Rights,
             Restricted Stock, Deferred Stock, Performance Shares, Stock
             Awards and Other Stock-Based Awards, in each case to the
             extent vested, shall, unless otherwise determined by the
             Committee in its sole discretion at or after grant but prior
             to any Change in Control, be cashed out on the basis of the
             "Change in Control Price," as defined in Section 13.9 as of
             the date such Change in Control or such Potential Change in
             Control is determined to have occurred or such other date as
             the Committee may determine prior to the Change in Control.

13.9         For purposes of Section 13.8, "Change in Control Price"
             means the highest price per share of Stock paid in any
             transaction reported on the Nasdaq National Market tier of
             The Nasdaq Stock Market, or paid or offered in any bona fide
             transaction related to a Potential or actual Change in
             Control of the Corporation at any time during the sixty (60)
             day period immediately preceding the occurrence of the
             Change in Control (or, where applicable, the occurrence of
             the Potential Change in Control event), in each case as
             determined by the Committee except that, in the case of
             Incentive Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights (or
             Limited Stock Appreciation Rights) relating to such
             Incentive Stock Options, such price shall be based only on
             transactions reported for the date on which the optionee
             exercises such Stock Appreciation Rights (or Limited Stock
             Appreciation Rights).

                     ARTICLE XIV - AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION


14.1         The Board, upon recommendation of the Committee, or otherwise, at
             any time and from time to time, may amend or terminate the Plan as
             may be necessary or desirable to implement or discontinue this Plan
             or any provision thereof. No amendment, without approval by the
             Corporation's stockholders, shall:

             (a)      alter the group of persons eligible to participate in
                      the Plan;

             (b)      except as provided in Sections 3.6 and 3.11, increase the
                      maximum number of shares of Stock or Stock Options or
                      Stock Rights which are available for Awards under the Plan
                      or increase the maximum number of shares with respect to
                      which Stock Options or Stock Rights may be granted to any
                      employee under the Plan;

             (c)      extend the period during which Incentive Stock Option
                      Awards may be granted beyond June 12, 2006;

             (d)      limit or restrict the powers of the Board and the
                      Committee with respect to the administration of this
                      Plan; or

             (e)      change any of the provisions of this Article XIV.

14.2         No amendment to or discontinuance of this Plan or any
             provision thereof by the Board or the stockholders of the
             Corporation shall, without the written consent of the
             Participant, adversely affect, as shall be determined by the
             Committee, any Award theretofore granted to such Participant
             under this Plan; provided, however, the Committee retains
             the right and power to:

             (a)      annul any Award if the Participant competes against the
                      Corporation or any Subsidiary or is terminated for
                      cause as determined by the Committee;

             (b)      provide for the forfeiture of shares of Stock or other
                      gain under an Award as determined by the Committee for
                      competing against the Corporation or any Subsidiary;
                      and

             (c)      convert any outstanding Incentive Stock Option to a
                      Nonqualified Stock Option.

14.3         If an Acceleration Event has occurred, no amendment or termination
             shall impair the rights of any person with respect to an
             outstanding Award as provided in Article XIII.

                      ARTICLE XV - MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS


15.1         Nothing in the Plan or any Award granted hereunder shall
             confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the
             employ of the Corporation or its Subsidiaries (or to serve
             as a director thereof) or interfere in any way with the
             right of the Corporation or its Subsidiaries to terminate
             his or her employment at any time.  Unless specifically
             provided otherwise, no Award granted under the Plan shall be
             deemed salary or compensation for the purpose of computing
             benefits under any employee benefit plan or other
             arrangement of the Corporation or its Subsidiaries for the
             benefit of its employees unless the Corporation shall
             determine otherwise.  No Participant shall have any claim to
             an Award until it is actually granted under the Plan.  To
             the extent that any person acquires a right to receive
             payments from the Corporation under the Plan, such right
             shall, except as otherwise provided by the Committee, be no
             greater than the right of an unsecured general creditor of
             the Corporation.  All payments to be made hereunder shall be
             paid from the general funds of the Corporation, and no
             special or separate fund shall be established and no
             segregation of assets shall be made to assure payment of
             such amounts, except as provided in Article VIII with
             respect to Restricted Stock and except as otherwise provided
             by the Committee.

15.2         The Corporation may make such provisions and take such steps
             as it may deem necessary or appropriate for the withholding
             of any taxes which the Corporation or any Subsidiary is
             required by any law or regulation of any governmental
             authority, whether federal, state or local, domestic or
             foreign, to withhold in connection with any Stock Option or
             the exercise thereof, any Stock Right or the exercise
             thereof, or in connection with any other type of equity-
             based compensation provided hereunder or the exercise
             thereof, including, but not limited to, the withholding of
             payment of all or any portion of such Award or another Award
             under this Plan until the Participant reimburses the
             Corporation or its Subsidiaries for the amount the
             Corporation or its Subsidiaries is required to withhold with
             respect to such taxes, or canceling any portion of such
             Award or another Award under this Plan in an amount
             sufficient to reimburse itself for the amount it is required
             to so withhold, or selling any property contingently
             credited by the Corporation for the purpose of paying such
             Award or another Award under this Plan, in order to withhold
             or reimburse itself for the amount it is required to so
             withhold.

15.3         The Plan and the grant of Awards shall be subject to all
             applicable federal and state laws, rules, and regulations
             and to such approvals by any government or regulatory agency
             as may be required.  Any provision herein relating to
             compliance with Rule 16b-3 under the Act shall not be
             applicable with respect to participation in the Plan by
             Participants who are not subject to Section 16(b) of the
             Act.

15.4         The terms of the Plan shall be binding upon the Corporation,
             its Subsidiaries, and their successors and assigns.

15.5         Neither a Stock Option, Stock Right, nor any other type of
             equity-based compensation provided for hereunder, shall be
             transferable except as provided for herein. If any Participant
             makes such a transfer in violation hereof, any obligation of the
             Corporation shall forthwith terminate.

15.6         This Plan and all actions taken hereunder shall be governed by the
             laws of the State of North Carolina, except to the extent preempted
             by ERISA.

15.7         The Plan is intended to constitute an "unfunded" plan for
             incentive and deferred compensation.  With respect to any
             payments not yet made to a Participant by the Corporation,
             nothing contained herein shall give any such Participant any
             rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of
             the Corporation.  In its sole discretion, the Committee may
             authorize the creation of trusts or other arrangements to
             meet the obligations created under the Plan to deliver
             shares of Stock or payments in lieu of or with respect to
             Awards hereunder; provided, however, that, unless the
             Committee otherwise determines with the consent of the
             affected Participant, the existence of such trusts or other
             arrangements is consistent with the "unfunded" status of the
             Plan.

15.8         Each Participant exercising an Award hereunder agrees to give the
             Committee prompt written notice of any election made by such
             Participant under Section 83(b) of the Code, or any similar
             provision thereof.

15.9         If any provision of this Plan or an Award Agreement is or
             becomes or is deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable in
             any jurisdiction, or would disqualify the Plan or any Award
             Agreement under any law deemed applicable by the Committee,
             such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to
             conform to applicable laws or if it cannot be construed or
             deemed amended without, in the determination of the
             Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the
             Award Agreement, it shall be stricken and the remainder of

             the Plan or the Award Agreement shall remain in full force
             and effect.

                               FIRST NATIONAL BANK

                      SEVERANCE POLICY FOR SENIOR OFFICERS
                         (LESS THAN 5 YEARS OF SERVICE)


PURPOSE:

         This Severance Policy is being offered because the Bank believes these
         officers to be valuable assets and essential to its growth and
         prosperity. Additionally, the Policy would have the effect of giving to
         each officer a sense of security that would have a positive effect on
         their performance and would improve the ability of the Bank to attract
         and retain competent, qualified senior officers.


ELIGIBILITY:

         The Policy will apply to any officer of the Bank who has attained the
         office of Senior Vice President or above, with the prior recommendation
         and consent of the President and the Board of Directors.


ENTITLEMENT:

         Subject to the provisions under the Effect of Competition and Change In
         Control sections stated below, any Senior Officer covered under this
         Policy who is terminated from his or her employment with the Bank as a
         result of a Change in Control shall be entitled to receive a
         continuation of his or her base salary in effect at the time of such
         termination, as follows:

                  A)       If the Officer has been employed less than 3 years,
                           continuation of 6 months salary.

                  B)       If the Officer has been employed more than 3 years
                           but less than 5 years, continuation of 9 months
                           salary.

         Severance shall be payable in regular installments at the same
         intervals as base salary was paid immediately prior to separation over
         the relevant period.

EFFECT OF COMPETITION:

         In the event that a Senior Officer directly or indirectly becomes an
         officer, director, employee, consultant, or owner of any bank or
         savings; or loan institution within a 50-mile radius of their principal
         office location (other than by reason of owning not more than 1% of the
         shares of the publicly traded securities of any such institution), and
         in connection with any such position is responsible, directly or
         indirectly, for soliciting or servicing depositors, borrowers or other
         customers for such institution, all payments to him or her that would
         be paid under the Entitlement section above shall immediately cease,
         and he or she shall have no farther rights under this Policy.


DEFINITION OF CHANGE IN CONTROL:

         If there occurs a Change in Control of FNB Financial Services
         Corporation (FNB) and/or the Bank, any Senior Officer covered under
         this Policy shall be entitled to the continuation of his or her salary
         as specified under the Entitlement section above, if he or she is not
         offered a position with FNB or the Bank or its successor, or if offered
         a position that is less than his/her current salary, and is more than
         25 miles from the location of the existing office.

         For purposes of this Policy, a Change in Control shall be deemed to
         have occurred if 1) there shall be consummated any consolidation or
         merger of FNB or the Bank in which FNB or the Bank is not the
         continuing or surviving entity or pursuant to which shares of the
         common stock of FNB or the Bank would be converted into cash,
         securities or other property, other than a merger of FNB in which the
         holders of the common stock of FNB immediately prior to the merger have
         the same proportionate ownership of common stock of the surviving
         corporation immediately after the merger, or 2) any sale, lease
         exchange or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of related
         transactions of all, or substantially all, of the assets of FNB,
         including the sale of the Bank's common stock by FNB, or 3) the
         shareholders approve any plan or proposal for the liquidation or
         dissolution of both FNB and the Bank, or 4) the shares of common stock
         of FNB or the Bank, directly or indirectly, is acquired by any person
         (other than by FNB or any person who on the date of this agreement is a
         director of FNB or the Bank or whose shares of stock therein are
         treated as beneficially owned by any such director) which, when added
         to any other shares the beneficial ownership of which is held by such
         person, shall give such person fifty percent (50%) or more of the
         outstanding common stock of FNB or the Bank, or 5) during any period of
         two consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of such period
         constitute the entire Board of Directors of either FNB or the Bank
         shall cease for any reason to constitute a majority thereof unless the
         election, or the nomination for election by the shareholders, of each
         new director was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the
         directors then still in office who were directors at the beginning of
         the two-year period.

SERVICE YEAR:

         A year of service for any Senior Officer shall be deemed as any
         accumulation of 12 month periods in which the employee works greater
         that 1,000 hours, beginning with his/her date of hire and continuing
         until the implementation of this policy for payment of that Senior
         Officer.


MISCELLANEOUS:

         Pending approval of the President and the Board of Directors, any
         Senior Officer with more than 5 years of service will be eligible for
         coverage under the existing severance policy in effect.

                                     Average earning assets increased 13.3% this
                                year, with average loans equaling 70.0% of
                                average earning assets in 1996, compared with
                                58.2% last year. Just as in 1995, the more
                                favorable mix of higher-yielding loans more than
                                offset the effect of lower interest rates, as
                                the gross yield on earning assets improved 8
                                basis points this year, following a 51 basis
                                point increase in 1995.
 
                                     The weighted yield on loans this year
                                declined to 9.36% from 9.57%, as an 8.25% prime
[PASTE-UP NET INCOME GRAPH]     rate held for all of 1996, while the average in
                                1995 was approximately 8.85%. Investment
                                portfolio yields were 30 basis points lower to
                                9.36%, which followed the lower interest rate
                                pattern in 1996. Yields on overnight federal
                                funds sold to other banks and deposits with the
                                Federal Home Loan Bank were both about 70 basis
                                points lower, in conformance with overall rates.
 
                                     Interest-bearing deposit cost averaged
                                4.35% in 1996, compared with 4.39% last year and
                                3.65% in 1994. Growth in deposits this year has
                                been principally in higher cost certificates of
                                deposit, but that effect was marginally offset
by the lower interest rate structure this year. Another favorable outcome is
that certificates of deposit have fixed maturities, which gives the deposit base
a higher degree of stability.
 
 
     Both the net yield on earning assets and the interest rate spread improved
in 1996, as indicated in Table 3, while Table 7 provides an analysis of the
variances in interest income and interest expense attributable to both volume
and rate for the last two calendar years.
 
NONINTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE
     Noninterest income of $1,252,300 in 1996 was just $16,500 or 1.3% more than
the prior year. The investment portfolio was re-structured to become more
liquid, which presented opportunities to take gains on the sale and reinvestment
of bonds and resulted in a favorable variance of $217,800 over 1995. Conversely,
net gains from mortgage banking operations were $195,700 lower, as income in
1995 was fortified by the recovery of significant write-downs taken in 1994,
caused by changes in interest rates. Deposit service charges were 7.6% more this
year, because of volume and pricing changes, while all other fees declined
slightly.
 
     In 1995, noninterest income increased $309,000 or 33.3%, with the
previously mentioned gains from mortgage banking operations a principal cause.
In addition, both deposit service charges and net securities gains were higher
in 1995 than 1994.
 
     Noninterest expense of $6,004,100 in 1996 was $813,900 or 15.7% more than
the previous year, following a 2.7% reduction in 1995. Personnel expense
increased 17.8% or $548,000, because of salary increases for existing staff and
additional employees to accompany our growth strategy, increased funding for
management incentive programs, higher employment taxes and increased cost for
insurance benefit programs. Occupancy/furniture and equipment expense was
$88,400 or 12.3% more than 1995, which included higher costs for building and
equipment depreciation, premises and equipment rental, maintenance and repairs
and utilities. All other expense was $177,400 higher, or 12.9%; line items which
exceeded last year by at least $10,000 and 10% were dues and subscriptions,
printing, stationery and supplies, directors fees, travel and entertainment,
postage, contributions, checkbook expense and conventions. Insurance cost
(principally FDIC) was down $152,000, and marketing expense was 12% lower than
1995.
 
     The 1995 noninterest expense decrease from 1994 included $201,000 less in
branch acquisition expense and $149,000 less in FDIC insurance, while
occupancy/equipment expense declined 2.2%. Personnel expense was 10.6% higher,
as well as increases for professional fees, checkbook expense, conventions,
auditors fees, postage and miscellaneous.
 
PROVISION AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
     The allowance for loan losses, which is utilized to absorb actual losses in
the portfolio, is maintained at a level deemed sufficient to provide for
estimated potential write-offs of noncollectible loans. Management

periodically reviews the adequacy of the allowance, taking into consideration
current and future economic conditions, the growth and composition of the loan
portfolio, historical loss experience and current levels of nonaccrual, past due
and other potential problem loans. The provision for loan losses represents a
charge against income, in an amount necessary to maintain the allowance at an
appropriate level.
                                     The 1996 provision of $414,600 compares
                                with $260,000 in 1995 and $105,000 in 1994. Net
                                charge offs were just $35,000 in 1996, or .03%
                                of average annual loans outstanding, compared
                                with $54,000 in 1995 and $227,000 in 1994. Over
                                the last two years, charged off and
                                nonperforming loans have declined precipitously
                                to their lowest levels in memory. At the same
                                time, outstanding loans have surged ahead and
                                necessitated increased funding to maintain our
                                reserves at an appropriate level. The ratio of
                                allowance for loan losses to year end loans was
                                1.32%, 1.13% and 1.13% for 1994, 1995 and 1996,
                                respectively.
                                
[PASTE-UP NET INCOME GRAPH]     INCOME TAXES
                                     Income tax expense was $1,021,300 in 1996,
                                compared with $865,600 in 1995 and $538,100 in
                                1994. The effective tax rate as a percentage of
                                pretax income was 29.8% in 1996, 28.5% in 1995
                                and 25.3% in 1994. These tax rates are lower
                                than the statutory federal and state tax rates,
                                primarily due to investment in municipal
                                securities earning interest which is exempt from
                                federal taxes and, for in-state bonds, state
                                taxes as well.
 
                                     Although the effective tax rate has been
                                rising over the last few years, primary emphasis
                                is given to the level of after-tax income and
                                less attention to how much is actually paid in
                                taxes. A more comprehensive analysis of income
                                taxes for the last three years is contained in
                                Note 9 on Page 25.
 
                                CAPITAL RESOURCES
                                     A strong capital position is vital to the
                                continued profitability of the Company because
                                it promotes depositor and investor confidence
                                and provides a solid foundation for the future
                                growth of the organization. Shareholders equity
                                was up 7.4% at December 31, 1996, over one year
                                ago, following an increase of 27.2% the previous
                                year. More volatility has been introduced into
                                equity balances with the approval of Financial
                                Accounting Standard 115, which specifies that
                                investments which are categorized as available
                                for sale must be periodically marked to market,
                                with the adjustment included in equity, net of
[PASTE-UP NET INCOME GRAPH]     applicable taxes. Since we have elected to
                                categorize all investment securities as
                                available for sale, which provides maximum
                                flexibility in their management, our equity
                                balances are subject to a relatively greater
                                incidence of volatility.
 
                                     Under current risk-based capital
                                guidelines, total qualifying capital is
                                categorized into two components: Tier 1 and Tier
                                2. These ratios are expressed as a percentage of
                                risk-adjusted assets, which include various
                                risk-weighted percentages of off-balance sheet
                                exposures, as well as assets on the balance
                                sheet. By year end 1992, a minimum Tier 1
                                capital ratio of 4% and total capital ratio of
8% were required. At December 31, 1996, the Company had a Tier 1 capital ratio
of 13.4% and a total capital ratio of 15.1%, both of which are significantly in
excess of the required minimum level. A final regulatory measure is the leverage
ratio, which expresses Tier 1 capital as a percentage of total assets. The
regulatory minimum is 3%, whereas the Company ratio at December 31, 1996, was
 
9.6%.

INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY AND LIQUIDITY MANAGEMENT
     The primary objective of interest rate sensitivity management is to plan
and control the composition and maturities of interest earning assets and
interest bearing liabilities, in order to maximize net interest income while
attempting to ensure the stability of earnings. Rate sensitive assets and
liabilities have interest rates which are adjustable within a specific time
period, due either to their maturity or to contractual agreements which allow
repricing of the instrument. Interest rate sensitivity management seeks to
ensure that both assets and liabilities respond to changes in interest rates in
a similar time frame, thereby minimizing to some degree, the effect of interest
rate movements on net interest income.
 
     A change in the mix of earning assets or interest paying liabilities may
either increase or decrease the net interest margin, without affecting interest
rate sensitivity. Additionally, the interest rate spread between an asset and
its supporting liability may vary significantly, while the timing of repricing
for both the asset and liability remain the same, thus impacting net interest
income. Because of these factors, management of the Company uses computerized
interest rate simulation to model the effect of possible changes, in addition to
the interest sensitivity analysis report. Management also periodically evaluates
the condition of the economy, the pattern of market interest rates and other
economic data, to determine the appropriate mix and repricing characteristics of
assets and liabilities required to produce the optimal net interest margin.
 
     Table 6 on Page 11 indicates a ratio of interest sensitive assets to
interest sensitive liabilities within one year of 87%, compared with 59% and 62%
for the two prior years end. This ratio is an indication that net interest
income would decline in a rising rate environment, since a greater amount of
liabilities than assets would reprice at the higher rates. This effect is
mitigated to some extent by the inclusion of all regular savings and NOW account
balances as subject to immediate rate change, since they have not exhibited rate
variation to the same degree as other deposit products. Over the past several
years, we have normally experienced a greater degree of liability sensitivity,
but in the last two years have been successful in increasing our level of
variable rate assets (loans tied to the prime rate) and fixed rate, longer term
deposits. These two factors are clearly evident and will serve to reduce
interest spread volatility during periods of rapid interest rate changes.
 
     The interest sensitivity analysis provides only a general indication of
interest sensitivity at a specific point in time, whereas an ongoing computer
simulation model incorporates the dynamics of balance sheet and interest rate
changes and reflects the related effect on net interest income. This latter
analysis is more informative and useful in enabling us to measure and respond to
interest rate movement.
 
     Liquidity management involves the ability to meet day-to-day cash flow
requirements of the Company's customers, whether they are depositors wishing to
withdraw funds or borrowers requiring funds to meet their credit needs.
Liquidity is provided from sources such as investment security maturities and
sales, principal and interest payments on loans, deposit growth and access to
borrowed funds. Over the last several years, growth experienced in deposits has
been more than adequate to fully fund the increase in loans with the excess
funds being used to build liquidity by purchasing investment securities and
other short term investments. Based upon our loan growth in 1995 and 1996,
however, and expectations for further increases, our funds gathering process has
become more aggressive and will be accompanied by some further reduction in the
level of investment securities. Longer term funding is also available to us as a
member of the Federal Home Loan Bank system, with several credit programs
accessible at competitive rates.
 
     The Company is not aware of any current recommendations by the regulatory
authorities which, if they were to be implemented, will have or are reasonably
likely to have a material effect on our liquidity, capital resources or
operations.
 
EFFECTS OF INFLATION
     Inflation affects financial institutions in ways that are different from
most commercial and industrial companies, which have significant investments in
fixed assets and inventories. The effect of inflation on interest rates can
materially impact bank operations, which rely on interest margins as a major
source of earnings. Noninterest expenses, such as salaries and wages, occupancy
and equipment costs are also negatively impacted by inflation.

 *  The bank has no foreign loan activity.
(1) During the second quarter in 1993, the bank reclassified these loans to more
    accurately reflect their collateral and purpose by balance sheet
    classification. This reclassification was accomplished during a computer
    hardware and software conversion with greater loan reporting capabilities.
    Previous year's reporting reflects loan volume based on collateral, purpose
    and the ability to process loans by less sophisticated application software.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
- -----------------------------------------------
 
The Board of Directors
FNB Financial Services Corporation
  and Subsidiary
Reidsville, North Carolina
 
     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of FNB
Financial Services Corporation and Subsidiary as of December 31, 1996 and 1995,
and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders'
equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended
December 31, 1996. These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
 
     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
     In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
FNB Financial Services Corporation and Subsidiary as of December 31, 1996 and
1995, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for
each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1996, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
 
     As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, FNB
Financial Services Corporation adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
Equity Securities," on January 1, 1994.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1995 AND 1994
(IN THOUSANDS)
NOTE 1 -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
  Principles of consolidation
 
     The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
FNB Financial Services Corporation (the Company) and its wholly-owned
subsidiary, First National Bank of Reidsville (the Bank). All significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
  Nature of operations
 
     The Bank provides a variety of financial services to individual and
corporate customers through its seven branches in Reidsville, Madison, and Eden,
North Carolina. A majority of the Bank's customers are located in Rockingham
County and portions of Guilford County. The Bank's primary deposit products are
interest-bearing checking accounts, certificates of deposit and individual
retirement accounts. Its primary lending products are commercial, consumer and
real estate loans.
 
  Use of estimates
 
     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and their reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
     Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change
relate to the determination of the allowance for credit losses on loans. A
majority of the Bank's loan portfolio consists of loans in the Reidsville-Eden
area. The local economy depends heavily on the manufacturing and agricultural
industries. Accordingly, the ultimate collectibility of a large portion of the
Bank's loan portfolio would be affected by changes in local economic conditions.
 
  Cash and cash equivalents
 
     For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and
cash equivalents are defined as those amounts included in the balance sheet
caption cash and due from banks.
 
  Investment Securities
 
     In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115 , "Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." SFAS No. 115 addresses the
accounting and reporting for investments in equity securities that have a
readily determinable fair value and all investments in debt securities. These
investments are to be classified into three categories as follows:
 
     -- held-to-maturity -- reported at amortized cost,
 
     -- trading securities -- reported at fair value with unrealized gains and
       losses included in earnings, or
 
     -- securities available-for-sale -- reported at fair value with unrealized
       gains and losses reported as a separate component of shareholders' equity
       (net of tax effect).
 
     On January 1, 1994, the Bank adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 115 and
classified the balance of its portfolio of U.S. treasury notes, U.S. government
and agency securities, and state and municipal obligations as securities
available for sale. The Bank intends to hold these securities for an indefinite
period of time but may sell them prior to maturity. Other securities include
stock in the Federal Reserve Bank and the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta.
 
     Gains and losses on sales of securities are recognized when realized on a
specific identification basis. Premiums and discounts are amortized into
interest income using a level yield method.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
  Loans
 
     Effective January 1, 1995, the Bank adopted SFAS No. 114 "Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" and 118 "Accounting by Creditors for
Impairment of a Loan -- Income Recognition and Disclosures". SFAS No. 114
requires that impaired loans be measured based on the present value of expected
future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate. SFAS No. 118
addresses the recognition of interest income on impaired loans. Adopting these
new accounting pronouncements had no material effect on the Bank's financial
position or results of operation.
 
     Interest on loans is accrued and credited to income based on the principal
amount outstanding. The accrual of interest on impaired loans is discontinued
when, in management's opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payments as
they become due. When interest accrual is discontinued, all unpaid accrued
interest is reversed. Interest income is subsequently recognized only to the
extent cash payments are received.
 
     Mortgage loans held for sale are valued at the lower of cost or market as
determined by outstanding commitments from investors or current investor yield
requirements, calculated on the aggregate loan basis.
 
  Allowance for credit losses
 
     The allowance for credit losses is maintained at a level believed adequate
by management to absorb potential losses in the loan portfolio. Management's
determination of the adequacy of the allowance is based upon reviews of
individual credits, past loan loss experience, current economic conditions,
volume, growth and composition of the loan portfolio, and other relevant risk
factors. Losses are charged and recoveries are credited to the allowance for
credit losses at the time the loss or recovery is incurred.
 
     While management uses the best available information to evaluate the
adequacy of the allowance for credit losses, future additions to the allowance
may be necessary based on changes in local economic conditions. In addition,
regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process,
periodically review the Bank's allowance for credit losses on loans and
foreclosed real estate. Such agencies may require the Bank to recognize changes
to the allowance based on their judgements about information available to them
at the time of their examination.
 
  Other real estate
 
     Other real estate, acquired through partial or total satisfaction of loans,
is carried at the lower of cost or fair market value, less estimated costs to
sell, which becomes the property's new basis. At the date of acquisition, losses
are charged to the allowance for loan losses, subsequent write downs are charged
to expense in the period they are incurred.
 
  Property and equipment
 
     Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and
amortization. The provision for depreciation and amortization is computed
principally by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
assets.
 
     Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations, and the
expenditures for major replacements and betterments are added to the property
and equipment accounts. The cost and accumulated depreciation of the property
and equipment retired or sold are eliminated from the property accounts at the
time of retirement or sale and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in
current operations.
 
  Income taxes
 
     Provisions for income taxes are based on taxes payable or refundable for
the current year (after exclusion of non-taxable income such as interest on
state and municipal securities) and deferred taxes on temporary differences
between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in
financial statements at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the
period in which the deferred tax asset and liabilities are expected to be
realized or settled. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax
assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes.

  Net income per share of common stock
 
     Net income per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income by
the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each
year. Outstanding stock options have no material dilutive effect.
 
  Loan origination fees and costs
 
     Loan origination fees and certain direct origination costs are capitalized
and recognized as an adjustment of the yield on the related loan.
 
  Sales of mortgage loans
 
     Gains and losses on the sale of loans are accounted for by imputing gain or
loss on those sales where a yield rate guaranteed to the buyer is more or less
than the contract interest rate being collected. Such gains or losses are
recognized in the financial statements during the year of sale. The Bank
continues to service certain loans that have been sold. Such loan balances are
not included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
 
  Pension costs
 
     Pension costs are charged to salaries and employee benefits expense.
 
  Off balance sheet financial instruments
 
     In the ordinary course of business the Bank has entered into off balance
sheet financial instruments consisting of commitments to extend credit,
commitments under credit card arrangements, commercial letters of credit and
standby letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded in the
financial statements when they are funded or related fees are incurred or
received.
 
  Reclassification
 
     Certain items for 1994 and 1995 have been reclassified to conform with the
1996 presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on net income or
shareholders' equity as previously reported.
 
NOTE 2 -- RESTRICTION ON CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS
     The Bank maintains average reserve balances with the Federal Reserve Bank.
The average amounts of these reserve balances for the years ended December 31,
1996 and 1995 were $625,000 and $270,000, respectively.

likely than not based upon the Bank's history of taxable income and estimates of
future taxable income.

     Rental expense was $71,000 in 1996, $38,000 in 1995 and $38,000 in 1994.
 
NOTE 11 -- RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
     The Bank had loans outstanding to principal officers and directors and
their affiliated companies of approximately $3,382,000 and $3,950,000 at
December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. During 1996, additions to such loans
were $3,197,000 and repayments totaled $3,765,000. Such loans were made
substantially on the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as
those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other borrowers
and do not involve more than the normal risks of collectibility.
 
NOTE 12 -- SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
 
  STOCK SPLIT
     On February 8, 1996, the Board of Directors declared a one-for-four split
of the common stock in the form of a 25% stock dividend to holders of record on
March 8, 1996 to be issued on March 29, 1996. As a result $275,194 ($1 for each
share issued pursuant to the stock split) was transferred from retained earnings
to the common stock account. Cash was paid in lieu of fractional shares from
retained earnings of $5,345. All per share data in the financial statements have
been adjusted to reflect the split.
 
  STOCK GRANTS
     During 1996, 1995, and 1994, stock grants to employees amounted to 85,
1,130, and 145 common shares, respectively.
 
  STOCK OPTION PLANS
     In October 1995 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation." This new standard defines a fair value based method of accounting
for an employee stock option or similar equity instrument. This statement gives
entities a choice of recognizing related compensation expense by adopting the
new fair value method or to continue to measure compensation using the intrinsic
value approach under Accounting Principals Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, the
former standard. If the former standard for measurement is elected, SFAS No. 123
requires supplemental disclosure to show the effects of using the new
measurement criteria. This statement is effective for the Company's 1996 fiscal
year. The Company intends to

     Exercise prices for options outstanding as of December 31, 1996 ranged from
$12 to $23. The weighted average remaining contractual life of those options is
8.93 years.
 
     Because the Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No.
123, no compensation cost has been recognized for the stock option plans. Had
compensation cost for the Company's stock option plan been determined based on
the fair value at the grant date of the awards consistent with the provisions of
SFAS No. 123, the Company's net earnings and earnings per share would have been
reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

</TABLE>
 
     The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using
Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average
assumptions used for grants in 1996 and 1995: dividend yield of 3.20%, expected
volatility of 34.0%, risk-free interest rates of 6.20% for 1996 and 5.40% for
1995, and expected lives of 4 years for 1996 options and 5 years for 1995
options.
 
     These plans provide that shares granted come from the Company's authorized
but unissued or reacquired common stock. The price of the options granted
pursuant to these plans will not be less than 100 percent of the fair market
value of the shares on the date of grant. The options granted in 1989, 1992, and
1995 vest ratably over a five year period, and the options granted in 1996 vest
ratably over a four year period; however, no option will be exercisable after
ten years from the date granted.

NOTE 14 -- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
     The Bank's consolidated financial statements do not reflect various
commitments and contingent liabilities which arise in the normal course of
business and which involve elements of credit risk, interest rate risk and
liquidity risk. These commitments and contingent liabilities are commitments to
extend credit and standby letters of credit.
 
     A summary of the Bank's commitments and contingent liabilities at December
31, are as follows (in thousands):

</TABLE>
 
     The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the
other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit is
represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. The Bank
uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations
as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.
 
NOTE 15 -- EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
     The Company's non-contributory defined benefit pension plan covers
substantially all of its employees. The plan calls for benefits to be paid to
eligible employees at retirement based primarily upon years of service with the
Company and a percentage of qualifying compensation during final years of
employment. Contributions to the plan are based upon the projected unit credit
actuarial funding method and comply with the funding requirements of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act. Contributions are intended to provide
not only for benefits attributed to service to date but also for those expected
to be earned in the future. Plan assets consists primarily of cash and cash
equivalents, U. S. government securities, and common stocks.

</TABLE>
 
     The weighted average discount rate used to measure the projected benefit
obligation is 7.00% for 1996 and 1995, the rate of increase in future
compensation levels is 5.00% for 1996 and 1995, and the expected long-term rate
of return on assets is 7.00% for 1996 and 1995. The Company uses the
straight-line method of amortization for prior service cost and unrecognized
gains and losses.
 
     In 1994 the Company adopted a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan
("SERP"). The SERP allows the Company to supplement the level for certain
executives' retirement income over that which is obtainable through the
tax-qualified retirement plan sponsored by the Bank. Contributions to the SERP
totaled $44,000 for 1996 and $39,000 for 1995.
 
     The Bank also has a contributory 401(K) savings plan covering substantially
all employees. The plan allows eligible employees to contribute up to a fixed
percentage of their compensation, with the Bank matching a portion of each
employee's contribution. The Bank's contributions were $49,000, $45,000, and
$35,000 for 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
 
     A deferred compensation plan allows the directors and certain senior
officers of the Company and the Bank to defer the compensation they earn for
performance of their appointed duties for the Company and the Bank. Each
director elects annually to either receive that year's compensation currently or
to defer receipt until his death, disability or retirement as a director. Each
officer elects annually to either receive that year's compensation currently or
to defer receipt of a portion of his compensation until his death, disability or
retirement as an officer. The total liability for deferred compensation under
the plan was $207,000 and $55,000 at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
 
NOTE 16 -- REGULATORY MATTERS
     The Bank, as a National Bank, is subject to the dividend restrictions set
forth by the Comptroller of the Currency. Under such restrictions, the Bank may
not, without the prior approval of the Comptroller of the Currency, declare
dividends in excess of sum of the current year's earnings (as defined) plus the
retained earnings (as defined) from the prior two years. The dividends, as of
December 31, 1996 that the bank could declare without the approval of the
Comptroller of the Currency, amounted to approximately $3,783,000.
 
     The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered
by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements
can initiate certain mandatory -- and possible additional
discretionary -- actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct
material effect on the Bank's financial statements. Under capital adequacy
guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank
must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the
Bank's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated
under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank's capital amounts and
classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about
components, risk weighting, and other factors.
 
     Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy
require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table
below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to
risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital (as defined) to average
assets (as

defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 1996, that the Bank meets all
capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.
 
     As of December 31, 1996, the most recent notification from the Office of
the Comptroller of the Currency categorized the Bank as well capitalized under
the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well
capitalized the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based,
and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or
events since that notification that management believes have changed the
institution's category.
 
     The Bank's actual capital amounts and ratios are also presented in the
table.

NOTE 17 -- FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
     The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value
for each class of financial instruments.
 
     Cash and cash equivalents.  For cash on hand and amounts due from banks the
carrying value is considered to be a reasonable estimate of fair value.
 
     Investment securities.  The fair value of investment securities is based on
quoted market prices, if available. If a quoted market price is not available,
fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities. The
fair value of equity investments in the restricted stock of the Federal Reserve
and Federal Home Loan Bank equals the carrying value.
 
     Loans.  The fair value of fixed rate loans is estimated by discounting the
future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made
to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.
The fair value of residential mortgage loans held for sale is based on quoted
market prices and the fair value of variable rate loans with frequent repricing
and negligible credit risk approximates book value.

     Deposits.  The fair value of noninterest-bearing demand deposits and NOW,
savings and money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the
reporting date. The fair value of time deposits is estimated using the rates
currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
 
     Other interest-bearing liabilities.  The carrying value of federal funds
purchased and retail repurchase agreements is considered to be a reasonable
estimate of fair value.
 
     Commitments.  The fair value of commitments to extend credit is considered
to approximate carrying value, since the large majority of these commitments
would result in loans that have variable rates and/or relatively short terms to
maturity. For other commitments, generally of a short-term nature, the carrying
value is considered to be a reasonable estimate of fair value. The various
commitment items were disclosed in Note 14.
 
     The estimated fair values of financial instruments are as follows (in
thousands):

</TABLE>
 
     The fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on
relevant market and other information about the financial instruments. Because
no market exists for a significant portion of the Company's financial
instruments, fair value estimates are current economic conditions, risk
characteristics of various financial instruments, and such other factors. These
estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of
significant judgement and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes
in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates. In addition, the tax
ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can
have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered
in the estimates.
 
NOTE 18 -- BRANCH ACQUISITION
     During March, 1996, the Bank completed its purchase of a branch located in
Eden, North Carolina from NationsBank of North Carolina. The principal amounts
acquired included deposits of approximately $14,000,000, loans of approximately
$2,500,000 and net cash of approximately $11,500,000. The acquisition was
accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.
