PROXY STATEMENT

INFORMATION CONCERNING THE SOLICITATION

          This Proxy Statement is being furnished to the shareholders of FNB Bancorp, a California corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors for use at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) to be held at Basque Cultural Center, 599 Railroad Avenue, South San Francisco, California, at 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, May 21, 2008. Only shareholders of record on March 31, 2008 (the “Record Date”), will be entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. At the close of business on the Record Date, the Company had outstanding and entitled to be voted 2,963,383 shares of its no par value Common Stock (the “Common Stock”).

          Shareholders may vote their shares by mail without attending the Annual Meeting, whether their shares of Common Stock are held in their names or through a broker, bank or other nominee. Instructions for voting by mail are set forth on the enclosed proxy card. For shares held through a broker, bank or other nominee, shareholders may vote by submitting their voting instructions to the broker, bank or other nominee. Voting instructions may be given by mail, by telephone or by using the Internet, if the broker, bank or other nominee makes those methods available to the shareholder, in which case the procedures will be enclosed with the Proxy Statement forwarded by the broker, bank or other nominee.

          The presence in person or by proxy of a majority of the shares entitled to vote is necessary to constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum. “Broker non-votes” are shares held by brokers or nominees who are present in person or represented by proxy, but which are not voted on a particular matter because under applicable rules the broker cannot vote on the matter in the absence of instructions from the beneficial owner. The effect of abstentions and broker non-votes on the calculation of the required vote on specific proposals to be brought before the Annual Meeting is discussed under each proposal, where applicable.

1


          Shareholders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held, except that for the election of directors each shareholder has cumulative voting rights and is entitled to as many votes as shall equal the number of shares held by such shareholder multiplied by the number of directors to be elected. Each shareholder may cast all of his or her votes for a single candidate or distribute such votes among any or all of the candidates as he or she chooses. However, no shareholder shall be entitled to cumulate votes (in other words, cast for any candidate a number of votes greater than the number of shares of stock held by such shareholder) unless such candidate’s name has been placed in nomination prior to the voting and the shareholder has given notice at the Annual Meeting prior to the voting of the shareholder’s intention to cumulate votes. If any shareholder has given such notice, all shareholders may cumulate their votes for candidates in nomination. Prior to voting, an opportunity will be given for shareholders or their proxies at the Annual Meeting to announce their intention to cumulate their votes. The proxy holders are given, under the terms of the proxy, discretionary authority to cumulate votes on shares for which they hold a proxy.

          Any person giving a proxy in the form accompanying this Proxy Statement has the power to revoke that proxy prior to its exercise. The proxy may be revoked prior to the Annual Meeting by delivering to the Secretary of the Company either a written instrument revoking the proxy or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date. The proxy may also be revoked by the shareholder by attending and voting in person at the Annual Meeting. The proxy will be voted as directed by the shareholder giving the proxy and if no directions are given on the proxy, the proxy will be voted “FOR” the election of the nominees of the Board of Directors; “FOR” ratification and approval of the FNB Bancorp 2008 Stock Option Plan, and “FOR” ratification of the appointment of Moss Adams LLP as independent auditors of the Company to serve for the 2008 fiscal year, and at the proxy holders’ discretion, on such other matters, if any, which may come before the Annual Meeting (including any proposal to adjourn the meeting).

          The Company will bear the entire cost of preparing, assembling, printing and mailing proxy materials furnished by the Board of Directors to shareholders. Copies of proxy materials will be furnished to brokerage houses, fiduciaries and custodians to be forwarded to the beneficial owners of the Common Stock. The Company will reimburse brokerage houses, fiduciaries, custodians and others holding Common Stock in their names or names of nominees or otherwise for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in sending proxy materials to the beneficial owners of such Common Stock. In addition to the solicitation of proxies by use of the mail, some of the officers, directors and regular employees of the Company may (without additional compensation) solicit proxies by telephone, Internet or personal interview, the costs of which will be borne by the Company.

PROPOSAL NO. 1

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY

          The Bylaws of the Company provide a procedure for nomination for election of members of the Board of Directors, which procedure is printed in full in the Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders accompanying this Proxy Statement. Nominations not made in accordance therewith may be disregarded by the Chairman of the Meeting, and upon his instructions the tellers of votes may disregard all votes cast for such nominee(s).

          The Bylaws of the Company provide that the Board of Directors shall consist of not less than five nor more than nine shareholders, the exact number to be fixed and determined from time to time by resolution of a majority of the full Board of Directors or by resolution of a majority of the shareholders at any annual or special meeting thereof. The authorized number of directors has been fixed by resolution of the Board of Directors at nine (9). Currently, there are eight (8) members serving on the Board of Directors, with one seat vacant as a result of the retirement of Neil J. Vannucci in August of 2007. To date, the Board of Directors has not identified a person to fill the vacancy. The directors to be elected at the Annual Meeting shall hold office for one year and until their successors are elected and have qualified. The nominees receiving the highest number of affirmative votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote for them shall be elected as directors. Only votes cast “FOR” a nominee will be counted in determining whether that nominee has been elected as a director.

          All proxies will be voted for the election of the following eight (8) nominees recommended by the Board of Directors, unless authority to vote for the election of any director or directors is withheld by the shareholder on the proxy card. All of the nominees are incumbent Directors. If any nominee should unexpectedly decline or be unable to act as a director, the proxies may be voted for a substitute nominee to be designated by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has no reason to believe that any nominee will become unavailable and has no present intention to nominate persons in addition to or in lieu of those named below.

          The following table sets forth information with respect to beneficial ownership of the Common Stock of the Company by those persons nominated by the Board of Directors for election as directors, as well as all directors and executive officers of FNB Bancorp and its subsidiary, First National Bank of Northern California, a national banking association (herein called the “Bank” or “First National Bank”), as a group. There is no family relationship between any of the directors and/or executive officers, except that Edward J. Watson is related by marriage to Anthony J. Clifford. The Company has only one class of shares outstanding, Common Stock.

          Committees of the Board of Directors

          During 2007, the Company and First National Bank each have the same Board committees and director-members. Each committee meeting is conducted on behalf of the Company as well as the Bank, regardless of whether the subject may apply to both or only one entity. The committees and their members are as follows:

          Audit Committee. The current members are Edward J. Watson, Chair, Lisa Angelot, Merrie Turner Lightner and Michael R. Wyman.

          Building Committee. The current members are: Lisa Angelot, Chair, Jim D. Black, Anthony J. Clifford and Michael R. Wyman.

          Compensation Committee. The current members are Edward J. Watson, Chair, Lisa Angelot and Michael Pacelli.

          Compliance Committee. The current members are Anthony J. Clifford, Chair, and Jim D. Black.

10


          Executive Committee. The current members are Michael R. Wyman, Chair, Lisa Angelot, Jim D. Black, Anthony J. Clifford, Thomas C. McGraw, Merrie Turner Lightner, Michael Pacelli and Edward J. Watson

          Loan and Discount Committee. The current members are Lisa Angelot, Chair, Jim D. Black, Anthony J. Clifford, Merrie Turner Lightner, Thomas C. McGraw, Michael Pacelli and Michael R. Wyman.

          Nominating Committee. The current members are the entire Board.

          The members of the Company Audit Committee select and oversee the Company’s independent public accountants, analyze the results of internal and regulatory examinations and monitor the financial and accounting organization, reporting and controls. Each member of the Audit Committee is “independent” as defined under applicable rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Edward J. Watson has been designated by the Board of Directors as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined under applicable rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Reference should be made to the Audit Committee Report set forth below in this Proxy Statement for additional information regarding the functions of the Audit Committee.

          A majority of the members of the Company’s Board of Directors, each of whom is “independent” as defined under applicable rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, has established procedures for receipt and delivery of shareholder communications addressed to the Board of Directors. Any such shareholder communications, including communications by employees of the Company solely in their capacity as shareholders, should be mailed or delivered to the Company addressed as follows: Board of Directors, FNB Bancorp, 975 El Camino Real, South San Francisco, CA 94080.

          The Company encourages the members of its Board of Directors to attend the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders each year. A majority of the current members of the Board of directors attended the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders held in 2007.

          In performing the functions of the Company Nominating Committee, the Board of Directors has responsibility for considering appropriate candidates as directors. The Board of Directors believes that the participation of the full Board of Directors in considering candidates is efficient in view of the size of the Board of Directors. Candidates are selected by a majority of directors who are “independent” as defined under applicable rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, in accordance with a Nominating Committee Charter adopted by a majority of such independent directors. The Nominating Committee Charter includes a policy for consideration of candidates proposed by shareholders. Any recommendations by shareholders will be evaluated by the Board of Directors in the same manner as any other recommendation and in each case in accordance with the Nominating Committee Charter. Shareholders that desire to recommend candidates for

11


consideration by the Company’s Board of Directors should mail or deliver written recommendations to the Company addressed as follows: Board of Directors, FNB Bancorp, 975 El Camino Real, South San Francisco, CA 94080. Each recommendation should include biographical information indicating the background and experience of the candidate that qualifies the candidate for consideration as a director for evaluation by the Board of Directors. In addition to minimum standards of independence for non-employee directors and financial literacy, the Board of Directors considers various other criteria including the candidate’s experience and expertise, financial resources, ability to devote the time and effort necessary to fulfill the responsibilities of a director and involvement in community activities in the market areas served by the Company and First National Bank that may enhance the reputation of the Company and the Bank. The Company and the Bank operate in a highly regulated industry and are subject to the supervision, regulation and periodic examination by state and federal banking regulatory authorities including the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Directors of the Company and the Bank are subject to certain rules and regulations and potential liabilities not otherwise applicable to directors of non-banking organizations. Consequently, evaluation of candidates by the Company’s Board of Directors may include more extensive inquiries into personal background information including confirmation of the accuracy and completeness of background information by (a) requiring candidates to complete questionnaires to elicit information of the type required to be disclosed by the Company in reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission or such federal banking regulatory authorities, (b) conducting background investigations by qualified independent organizations experienced in conducting criminal and civil investigatory reviews, and (c) such other personal and financial reviews and analyses as the Board of Directors may deem appropriate in connection with the consideration of candidates. Shareholders who wish to nominate a candidate for election to the Company’s Board of Directors, as opposed to recommending a potential nominee for consideration by the Board of Directors, are required to comply with the advance notice and any other requirements of the Company’s Bylaws, applicable laws and regulations. The Board of Directors may elect to use third parties in the future to identify or evaluate candidates for consideration by the Board of Directors.

          The principal functions of the Audit Committee are (1) to examine and review both internal audit controls and regulatory audit reports and to meet with the First National Bank auditors concerning audit procedures and controls and (2) to monitor the First National Bank investments.

          The principal functions of the Loan and Discount Committee are to oversee loans and investments and the routine operations of First National Bank by delegation from the Board of Directors and to advise and report to the entire Board of Directors regarding such matters.

          The Compensation Committee investigates and advises the Board of Directors as to employee benefit arrangements and conducts executive searches whenever First National Bank proposes to hire executive personnel. The Compensation Committee also reports to the Board of Directors with regard to executive compensation, including bonus compensation.

12


          The Executive Committee is comprised of the entire Board. It meets in executive session periodically, to discuss matters affecting the Company and the Bank.

          Membership and Meetings of the Board of Directors and its Committees

          All members attended at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the meetings of the Board of Directors and their Committees during 2007, except Ms. Lightner, who became a member of the Board of Directors on April 1, 2007.

          The following table shows the members of the Board of Directors and the committees of the Board of Directors and the number of meetings held during 2007.

          Compensation of Directors

          No fees or other compensation has been paid to the non-officer directors of the Company since incorporation of the Company on February 28, 2001. The Company became the holding company for First National Bank, effective March 15, 2002. No separate fees were paid to the directors of the Company during 2007 for their attendance at meetings of the Board of Directors or for their attendance at meetings of the committees of the Board of Directors.

          Each non-officer director of First National Bank was paid $36,000 in fees for attending meetings of the Bank Board of Directors during 2007 except Director Merrie Turner Lightner, who joined on April 1, 2007, and received $27,000. Each non-officer director of First National Bank is paid $3,000 per month. The aggregate amount of director fees paid by First National Bank in 2007 was $195,000. No separate compensation has been paid to the directors during 2007 for their attendance at meetings of the committees of the Board of Directors of the Bank. Independent directors are eligible to participate in the FNB Bancorp 2002 Stock Option Plan as determined by the Board of Directors. During 2007, each non-officer director of First National Bank was granted a non-statutory option for 1,050 shares of the Company Common Stock pursuant to the FNB Bancorp 2002 Stock Option Plan.

          (1) The value of the stock option award is the grant date fair value computed in accordance with FAS 123R.

          (2) The Company does not make Stock Awards nor does it have a Non-Equity Incentive Compensation Plan for non-officer (independent) directors. Non-officer directors do not participate in the Deferred Compensation Plan.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

          Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), requires the Company’s directors and executive officers and any persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of Common Stock and other equity securities of the Company. Officers, directors and any greater than 10% shareholders are required by the SEC to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

          On March 15, 2002, the Company registered its common stock under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, at which time the Company’s directors, officers and any person who owned more than 10% of such common stock became subject to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.

          To the Company’s knowledge, based solely on a review of such reports furnished to the Company and written representations that no other reports were required, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its officers, directors and any greater than 10% shareholders were complied with on a timely basis.

TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PERSONS

          The Company has a policy that it does not enter into any transactions covered under Item 404 of Regulation S-K with the exception of loans made by First National Bank (see “Indebtedness of Management,” below). There have been no transactions, or series of similar transactions, during 2007, or any currently proposed transaction, or series of similar transactions, to which the Company or the Bank was or is to be a party, in which the amount involved exceeded or will exceed $120,000 and in which any director, director-nominee or executive officer of the Company or Bank, or any shareholder owning of record or beneficially 5% or more of FNB Bancorp common stock, or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons, had, or will have, a direct or indirect material interest.

14


          Indebtedness of Management

          Through its banking subsidiary, First National Bank, the Company has had, and expects in the future to have banking transactions, including loans and other extensions of credit, in the ordinary course of its business with many of the Company’s directors and officers and their associates, including transactions with corporations of which such persons are directors, officers or controlling shareholders, on substantially the same terms (including interest rates and collateral) as those prevailing for comparable transactions with others. Management believes that in 2007 such transactions comprising loans did not involve more than the normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable features. Loans to executive officers of First National Bank are subject to limitations as to amount and purposes prescribed in part by the Federal Reserve Act, as amended, and the regulations of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.

          The chart below lists information regarding common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options, the weighted average exercise price of those options and the number of shares available for issuance under the FNB Bancorp Stock Option Plan and the FNB Bancorp 2002 Stock Option Plan. The Company has no other equity compensation plan and there are no warrants or rights outstanding that would result in the issuance of shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The Board of Directors has adopted the FNB Bancorp 2008 Stock Option Plan, subject to shareholder approval (see Proposal No. 2 below).

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

          Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

          The Company’s compensation programs and policies are designed to enhance shareholder value by aligning the financial interests of the executive officers with those of the shareholders. The Company competes with other financial institutions by seeking to attract and retain a highly qualified management team, utilizing compensation programs that reward superior performance. The Board of Directors of the Company believes that its compensation programs should:

          · reflect the qualifications, skills, experience and responsibilities of each officer on the management team;

          · serve to attract and retain the most qualified individuals available to the Company by being competitive with the compensation being paid to persons having similar positions and responsibilities with other financial institutions in the same or adjoining market areas;

          · provide each officer on the management team with incentive and motivation to achieve his or her personal goals, both short term and long term, set in a manner which is consistent with the overall strategic goals of the Company, as determined by the Board of Directors; and

          · reward those officers whose performance, both individually and as a member of the management team, is superior and meets the targets set by the Board of Directors.

          The Company was formed in 2001 to become the holding company of First National Bank. After approval by the shareholders of the Bank, the holding company reorganization became effective on March 15, 2002. No separate compensation has been paid to the executive officers of the Company since 2002. The compensation paid by First National Bank to its executive officers includes payment for all services rendered by such officers to the Company, including their attendance at meetings of the Board of Directors and their attendance at meetings of committees of the Board of Directors of the Company.

          The compensation of the executive officers of First National Bank is reviewed and approved annually by the Board of Directors, including a review of base salaries (the “fixed” portion of compensation) and a discretionary bonus plan based on performance objectives (the “variable” or incentive portion of compensation). This review by the Board of Directors is based on the recommendations by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.

          Three members of the Company and Bank Board of Directors are also executive officers of the Company and the Bank and all three abstain from the executive compensation decisions made by the Board of Directors. Thomas C. McGraw is Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the Bank; Jim D. Black is President of the Company and the Bank; and Anthony J. Clifford is Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company and the Bank. Messrs. McGraw, Black and Clifford have served in such capacities since April 1, 2002. Mr. McGraw also serves as Secretary of the Company (since inception of the corporation in 2001) and the Bank (since 1989).

16


          Salary, bonus and perquisite compensation are related to current performance. The long-term components of compensation (equity incentives in the form of stock options and post-termination benefits) are reviewed by the Board of Directors in the context of the other compensation provided to executives, but adjustments are not necessarily made each year. The grant of stock options and the award of post-termination benefits are primarily intended to attract and retain executive officers and other key employees to serve on the Company’s management team over an extended period of time, and only secondarily to reward current employment.

          On February 22, 2008, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the FNB Bancorp 2008 Stock Option Plan and authorized 380,000 shares of Common Stock to be reserved for issuance pursuant to the Plan, subject to ratification and approval of the Plan by the shareholders. See Proposal No. 2 below for a summary of the 2008 Stock Option Plan (a copy of the Plan is attached to this Proxy Statement as Appendix A). The terms of the 2008 Stock Option Plan are substantially the same as the two existing stock option plans. No further stock options are expected to be granted under the two existing stock option plans, pending shareholder ratification and approval of the 2008 Stock Option Plan. Officers and directors of the Company and the Bank (or any other affiliate of the Company which may be established in the future) will be eligible for the grant of options under the 2008 Stock Option Plan. No stock options have been granted under the 2008 Stock Option Plan since its adoption by the Board of Directors.

STOCK OPTION PLANS

          Currently, the Company has two stock option plans: the FNB Bancorp Stock Option Plan (formerly the First National Bank of Northern California 1997 Stock Option Plan) and the FNB Bancorp 2002 Stock Option Plan. No options have been granted under the FNB Bancorp Stock Option Plan since June 22, 2007, and no further options are expected to be granted under the FNB Bancorp Stock Option Plan, except that if any outstanding option should expire, terminate or become unexercisable for any reason without having been exercised in full, the unpurchased shares which were subject to the option shall (unless the Plan shall have been terminated), become available for future grants. The stated purposes of the FNB Bancorp 2002 Stock Option Plan, as amended (adopted by the Board of Directors on June 28, 2002 and approved by the shareholders on May 14, 2003) are to attract and retain the best available personnel for positions of substantial responsibility and to provide additional incentive to the key officers of the Company and the Bank by encouraging them to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company and, in general, to promote the success of the Company’s business. The Board of Directors believes that the grant of stock options is consistent with the best interests of the shareholders because an officer’s ownership of shares of Company stock will give such officer a long-term interest in the Company’s overall performance and success. Generally, stock options are granted to eligible employees in the second quarter of each fiscal (calendar) year.

17


          FNB Bancorp Stock Option Plan. The Board of Directors of the Bank adopted the First National Bank of Northern California 1997 Stock Option Plan (the “Bank Stock Option Plan”), which was approved by the shareholders of First National Bank at the 1997 Annual Meeting, held on October 15, 1997. Pursuant to the holding company reorganization which became effective March 15, 2002, the Bank Stock Option Plan became the FNB Bancorp Stock Option Plan. As of December 31, 2007, a total of 74,056 shares were reserved for options previously granted and outstanding under the FNB Bancorp Stock Option Plan, including options for an aggregate of 38,651 shares of Common Stock (as adjusted for stock dividends paid in 1998, through 2007) which have been granted to the five officers of the Company identified in the “Summary Compensation Table” below. All such options granted and currently outstanding are incentive stock options, vesting at the rate of 20 percent per year over the period of 5 years from date of grant and are exercisable for a period of 10 years from the grant date. Directors Angelot and Watson have been granted non-statutory stock options for an aggregate of 2,033 shares of Common Stock (as adjusted for stock dividends paid in 1998 through 2007) which were fully vested on the dates of grant and are exercisable (at a price of $19.55 per share for options granted in 1998; at a price of $18.05 per share for options granted in 1999; at a price of $17.01 per share for options granted in 2000; at a price of $17.80 per share for options granted in 2001; and at a price of $29.05 per share for options granted in 2007) over a period of 10 years from the grant dates.

          Upon consummation of any plan of reorganization, merger or consolidation of the Company with one or more other banks or corporations as a result of which the Company is not the surviving entity, or upon the sale of all or substantially all the assets of the Company to another bank or corporation, then all outstanding unexercised options shall become immediately exercisable in accordance with the terms of the FNB Bancorp Stock Option Plan and the Plan shall terminate.

          FNB Bancorp 2002 Stock Option Plan. The Board of Directors of the Company adopted the FNB Bancorp 2002 Stock Option Plan (the “2002 Plan”) on June 28, 2002, which was approved by the shareholders at the 2003 Annual Meeting, held on May 14, 2003. A total of 200,000 shares of Common Stock were reserved for issuance pursuant to the 2002 Plan (after giving effect to the Company’s 2002 stock dividend). The 2002 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options (“Incentive Options”) and nonstatutory stock options (“Nonstatutory Options”). The terms and provisions of the Plan are substantially the same as the FNB Bancorp Stock Option Plan.

          As of December 31, 2007, a total of 215,726 shares of Common Stock were reserved for options previously issued under the 2002 Plan (as adjusted for the Company’s 2002 through 2007 stock dividends). Options for an aggregate of 71,605 shares of Common Stock (adjusted for the stock dividends paid in 2002 through 2007) have been granted to the five officers of the Company identified in the “Summary Compensation Table” below pursuant to the 2002 Plan. All such options granted and currently outstanding under the 2002 Plan are incentive stock options, vesting at the rate of 20 percent per year over the period of 5 years from the date of grant and are exercisable for a period of 10 years from the grant date. Non-employee directors Angelot, Pacelli, Watson and Wyman have been granted non-statutory stock options for an aggregate of 10,955 shares of Common Stock (adjusted for the stock dividends paid in 2002 through 2007) which were fully vested on the dates of grant and are exercisable (at a price of $20.52 per share for options granted in 2002, at a price of $19.59 per share for options granted in 2003, at a price of $26.74 per share for options granted in 2004, at a price of $25.96 per share for options granted in 2005, at a price of $32.88 for options granted in 2006 and at a price of $29.05 per share for options granted in 2007) over a period of 10 years from the grant dates.

18


          Upon the dissolution, liquidation or sale of the Company, or a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving entity, outstanding options which would otherwise terminate in accordance with the 2002 Plan will become exercisable in full for such period as is determined by the Board of Directors of the Company or a Stock Option Committee appointed by the Board (but in any event not more than 15 days) prior to the consummation of such event. After the consummation of such an event, such outstanding options will terminate.

          FNB Bancorp Savings Plan. On August 26, 1969, the Bank established The First National Bank Profit Sharing and 401(k) Plan (the “Plan”) under provisions which allow the Bank to make a contribution on behalf of each eligible employee. The Plan is now called the “FNB Bancorp Savings Plan.” Each year, the Board of Directors of the Bank decides whether to make a profit sharing contribution to the Plan, and the amount of that contribution. The profit sharing contribution to the Plan for 2007 was $600,000. Each participant in the Plan who is employed on the last day of the Plan year receives a share of that contribution based on the amount of his or her compensation relative to the compensation of all other participants. The accounts of the participants vest according to a schedule of years of service with the Bank. Mass Mutual acts as Trustee for the Profit Sharing Plan Trust, and the Trustee invests all the assets of the Plan in four common trust funds maintained by the Trustee. On January 1, 1998, the Plan was amended to allow any eligible employee to make voluntary contributions to the Plan, and to direct the investment of such voluntary contributions from a menu of available options. Both the profit sharing provisions and the employee contribution provisions are elements of the Savings Plan. The profit sharing element of the Savings Plan is funded by the Bank. The employee contribution element of the Savings Plan is funded by the employee.

          Each year, the Board of Directors of the Bank decides whether to make a profit sharing contribution to the FNB Bancorp Savings Plan, and the amount of that contribution. Each participant in the Plan who is employed on the last day of the Plan year, including executive officers, receives a share of that contribution, based on the amount of his or her compensation relative to the compensation of all other participants. By funding the profit sharing element of the Plan and also allowing employees to make their own contributions to the Plan, the Company believes that all participants are motivated to contribute to the ongoing success of First National Bank as measured by its growth in assets, deposits, loans, capital, earnings and profitability.

          Employment Contracts. There are no employment contracts between the Company or First National Bank and the executive officers named in the tables below (other than the Salary Continuation Agreements, the Management Continuity Agreements, the Deferred Compensation Plan and the Company’s stock option plans). First National Bank has established a Deferred Compensation Plan and participation is open to all officers of the Bank with the title of Vice President or higher, which includes the named executive officers. The funds contributed to the Plan are those of the individual participant and represent income earned and/or bonuses granted as an employee of First National Bank. No funds of First National Bank may be contributed to the Plan. Additional information about the Deferred Compensation Plan is set forth on page 27 below, together with a summary of contributions, earnings and withdrawals in respect of the accounts of the named executive officers, is set forth in a table named “2007 Nonqualified Deferred Compensation” on page 26.

19


          Role of Management

          The annual compensation recommendations made to the Board of Directors by the Compensation Committee are based on data and information gathered from sources outside the Company and the Bank and additional input provided to the members of the Compensation Committee by the executive officers. The executive officers of First National Bank during 2007 were: Thomas C. McGraw, Chief Executive Officer and Secretary; Jim D. Black, President; Anthony J. Clifford, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer; David A. Curtis, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer ; and Randy R. Brugioni, Senior Vice President and Senior Loan Officer. Input provided to the Compensation Committee is compiled and coordinated on behalf of all executive officers by an Executive Management Group, composed of Messrs. McGraw, Black and Clifford, who consult with the other executive officers during this process. As already indicated, Messrs. McGraw, Black and Clifford are members of the Company and Bank Board of Directors so they abstain from executive compensation decisions made by the Board.

          Compensation Committee

          The current members of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors are Lisa Angelot, Michael Pacelli and Edward J. Watson, Chairman. Only independent members of the Board of Directors may serve on the Compensation Committee. Each current member of the Compensation Committee is “independent” as defined under applicable rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

          The Compensation Committee advises the Board of Directors as to all employee benefit arrangements and, based on its investigations and review, reports to the Board of Directors on its recommendations with regard to executive compensation, including bonus compensation. The Compensation Committee’s philosophy is that compensation should be designed to reflect the value created for shareholders while supporting First National Bank’s strategic goals. The Compensation Committee reviews the compensation of the executive officers annually to insure that First National Bank’s compensation programs are related to financial performance and consistent generally with employers of comparable size in the industry. The Compensation Committee reviews each executive officer’s total compensation package, including base salary, cash bonus and stock option awards, and qualified and non-qualified retirement and deferred compensation benefits. The Compensation Committee also meets as needed throughout the year in order to review year-to-date financial performance, as compared to budget and as compared to the financial performance of competitors, and generally to monitor the target total compensation of each executive officer. The Compensation Committee utilizes independent compensation reports to assist in the analysis of compensation packages but did not utilize the services of independent compensation consultants during 2007.

          The Compensation Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors. At least once a year, the Compensation Committee reviews and assesses the Charter and recommends any proposed changes to the Board of Directors for approval.

20


          Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

          During the year 2007, Lisa Angelot and Edward J. Watson were the only persons who served as members of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Neither of these members is or has been an officer or employee of the Company or the Bank, whether during 2007 or at any time since incorporation of the Company in 2001, and neither of them has been a participant in any transaction or would be a participant to a currently proposed transaction with the Company or the Bank in which such member had or will have a direct or indirect material interest, except for loans made by First National Bank to such member in the ordinary course of business, made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the same time for comparable loans with persons not related to the Bank, and which loans did not involve more than the normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable features. In addition, during 2007, no member of the Compensation Committee or any executive officer of the Company or the Bank served as a director or member of the compensation committee of any other entity.

          Components of Compensation

          The Company’s compensation program consists of five components, namely, (1) base salary; (2) cash incentives (bonuses); (3) equity incentives (stock options); (4) perquisites; and (5) post-employment pay and benefits. These components as a group are intended to compensate each executive officer fairly for his or her services, and to reward such officer based on the Company’s overall performance plus his or her individual performance during the year, according to the position held by such officer. In reviewing each officer’s compensation package, the Compensation Committee considers the mix of total pay, benefits and perquisites, together with the competitive market for persons having the same or a similar skill-set as possessed by such officer.

          Base Salary. Base salary is related to the individual executive officer’s level of responsibility and comparison with comparable employers in the banking industry. The Board of Directors reviews and sets base salaries annually, taking into consideration the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer (for executive officers other than the Chief Executive Officer). In conducting its review of salaries, the Board of Directors takes into consideration the overall performance of First National Bank.

          The Board of Directors determines the base salary for the Chief Executive Officer by (a) examining the financial performance of First National Bank against its present goals; (b) examining the financial performance of First National Bank as compared to the banking industry generally; (c) evaluating the overall performance of the Chief Executive Officer; and (d) comparing the base salary of the Chief Executive Officer to that of other chief executive officers in the banking industry in the market area of First National Bank.

21


          On December 7, 2007, effective as of January 1, 2008 for the year 2008, the Board of Directors approved the following base salaries: Mr. McGraw’s salary was increased to $250,000; Mr. Black’s salary was increased to $242,000; Mr. Clifford’s salary was increased to $231,000; Mr. Curtis’ salary was increased to $192,500; and Mr. Brugioni’s salary was increased to $165,000. The compensation paid to Messrs. McGraw (CEO), Black (President), Clifford (EVP), Curtis (current CFO) and Brugioni (SVP) during 2007 is set forth in the “Summary Compensation Table” below.

          Cash Incentive Compensation. First National Bank does not have a formal bonus plan. The Board of Directors, at its discretion, awards annual bonuses to its executive officers and during 2007 awarded bonuses to Messrs. McGraw, Black, Clifford, Curtis and Brugioni (which are set forth in the “Summary Compensation Table” below). The Board of Directors of the Bank decides annually whether to make a profit sharing contribution to the FNB Bancorp Savings Plan, and the amount of that contribution. The executive officers participate in the Savings Plan and the amounts credited to their respective accounts for 2007 are included in the “Summary Compensation Table” below. Historically, the Board of Directors has approved annual target accruals of approximately 16 percent, in the aggregate, of eligible salaries for a contribution to the Savings Plan and a cash bonus pool, combined. The total contribution to the Savings Plan for 2007 was $600,000 and the total cash bonus pool for 2007 was $592,000.

The following table sets forth certain summary information concerning compensation paid to the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and the three next most highly compensated executive officers of the Company (as a group, the “Named Executive Officers”) during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007:

          The Company does not grant Stock Awards. The Company does not have a Pension Plan (but see discussion of the individual Salary Continuation Agreements, below). Column (g) above includes profit-sharing contributions to the FNB Bancorp Savings Plan, earnings on Salary Continuation Agreements, and use of Company-owned automobiles.

          Equity Incentive Compensation. At its discretion, the Board of Directors grants stock options to key officers of the Company and First National Bank who are primarily responsible for the growth and management of its business. As of December 31, 2007, a total of 289,782 shares were reserved for options previously granted and currently outstanding under the FNB Bancorp Stock Option Plan (successor as of March 15, 2002, to the First National Bank of Northern California 1997 Stock Option Plan) and the FNB Bancorp 2002 Stock Option Plan, including options for an aggregate of 110,256 shares of common stock (as adjusted for stock dividends paid in 1998 through 2007) which have been granted to Messrs. McGraw, Black, Clifford, Curtis and Brugioni. Both stock option plans have been approved by the shareholders of the Company. The number of shares granted to an employee is based on several factors, including employee performance and the value placed on the expected future performance of the employee, retention of the employee and, in some cases, internal or external pay equity. The Board of Directors believes that grants of stock options have enhanced and will continue to enhance the Company’s ability to attract, reward and motivate executive officers and other key employees.

A summary of the stock options granted to the Named Executive Officers during 2007, including the exercise prices, is set forth in the following table:

          Perquisites. The Board of Directors believes that offering certain perquisites is important to the operations of the Company and will assist the Company in its efforts to recruit and retain key employees. Messrs. McGraw, Black and Clifford are provided with the use of Company-owned automobiles. The aggregate amount of perquisites and other personal benefits or property received by executive officers during 2007 are included under the column for “All Other Compensation” in the “Summary Compensation Table.”

          Post-Employment Compensation. The Company has no pension or retirement plan but First National Bank has previously entered into individual salary continuation agreements with six current and former executive officers.

           First National Bank has entered into Salary Continuation Agreements (the “Agreements”) with Michael R. Wyman (current Chairman of the Board of Directors and former Chief Executive Officer—in 1996), James B. Ramsey (former Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer—in 1998, amended in 2004), Jim D. Black (President—in 2004), Anthony J. Clifford (Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer—in 2004), and David A. Curtis (Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer—in 2006). The Agreements provide for annual benefits to be paid to Mr. Wyman or his designated beneficiary of up to $60,000 per year over a period of 15 years; annual benefits to be paid to Mr. Ramsey or his designated beneficiary of up to $70,000 per year over a period of 20 years; annual benefits to be paid to Mr. Black or his designated beneficiary of up to $122,600 per year over a period of 20 years; annual benefits to be paid to Mr. Clifford or his designated beneficiary of up to $140,700 per year over a period of 20 years; and annual benefits to be paid to Mr. Curtis or his designated beneficiary of up to $170,000 per year over a period of 20 years. Such benefits were effective for Mr. Wyman upon his attaining 66 years of age, and will be effective for each of Messrs. Ramsey, Black, Clifford and Curtis upon (i) attainment of age 65, or upon his death or disability prior to such time if he is actively employed by First National Bank at the time; (ii) termination of his employment by First National Bank without “cause” (as defined in the Agreements); and (iii) termination or constructive termination of his employment by First National Bank after the occurrence of a “change of control” of First National Bank (as defined in the Agreements). First National Bank has purchased life insurance policies on the life of Messrs. Wyman (in 1996), Hogan (in 1996), Ramsey (in 2004, in addition to the 1998 policy), Black (in 2004), Clifford (in 2004) and Curtis (in 2007). First National Bank is the sole owner and beneficiary or co-beneficiary under such life insurance

25


policies, which policies indirectly offset the anticipated costs for certain death, disability and post-employment/retirement benefits for Messrs. Wyman, Ramsey, Black, Clifford and Curtis. First National Bank has entered into Split- Dollar Agreements with Messrs. Black, Clifford, Curtis and Ramsey, each of which designates the Bank as beneficiary of the insurance policies after the interest of Messrs. Ramsey, Black, Clifford, Curtis and Ramsey have been paid to their respective designated beneficiaries. The cash surrender value of each insurance policy, which is expected to increase over the term of the policy, is included among the “other assets” on the consolidated balance sheet of FNB Bancorp.

          Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control

          Management Continuity Agreements. On July 20, 2000, First National Bank entered into Management Continuity Agreements with Jim D. Black, Charles R. Key and Anthony J. Clifford. Each Agreement provides for the payment of a severance benefit to the officer upon termination of employment after a “change in control” of First National Bank (as defined in the Agreements). The purpose of the Agreements is to maintain sound and vital management of First National Bank, thereby protecting its best interests, in the event of a proposed change in control of First National Bank. The amount of the benefit payable under each Agreement is two times the “base annual salary” of the relevant officer for the twelve month period immediately preceding a “change in control.” In addition, if any payment of the benefit constitutes an “excess parachute payment” that is subject to an excise tax imposed by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, First National Bank will increase the amounts payable to the extent necessary to place the officer in the same after-tax position that would have existed had no excise tax been imposed. First National Bank can elect to pay benefits in a lump sum payment or in monthly installments over a period not exceeding two years following the date of termination of employment. Each Management Continuity Agreement continues for two years from July 20, 2000, and is subject to automatic one year renewals thereafter, unless First National Bank gives written notice of non-renewal. Each Management Continuity Agreement has been renewed annually and currently expires on July 20, 2008 (subject to further renewal).

The Company and the Bank do not make contributions to nonqualified deferred compensation plans. The contributions made by the Named Executive Officers to the Bank’s Deferred Compensation Plan in 2007 are set forth in the following table:

          Deferred Compensation Plan. First National Bank has established a Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan. Participation in the Plan is open to all officers of First National Bank. The Deferred Compensation Plan consists of a Deferred Compensation Trust, dated November 1, 1997, with Mass Mutual serving as Trustee, and individual Deferred Compensation Agreements between First National Bank and each of the participating officers. The funds contributed to the Plan are those of the individual participant, and represent income earned and/or bonuses granted as an employee of First National Bank. No funds of First National Bank may be contributed to the Plan. Under the Plan, a participant may elect to defer the receipt of a portion of his or her cash salary and/or bonus. First National Bank maintains a record of the deferred compensation for each participant, and at the time of distribution, is obligated to effect the distribution as well as collection of any and all taxes due at such time. Each participant may elect whether he or she will receive distribution of his or her entire account, subject to applicable tax withholding requirements, upon reaching a specified age, or upon passage of at least five years or upon termination of employment. In order to discharge its obligations in respect of such deferred compensation, First National Bank makes contributions of the deferred compensation specified by the participants to the Deferred Compensation Trust, which are then invested in accordance with the instructions of the participants. The principal and any earnings in the Trust are held separate and apart from other funds of First National Bank and are used for the discharge of First National Bank’s obligations to the participants. As of December 31, 2007, the Deferred Compensation Trust held an aggregate of 21,955 shares of Common Stock, and held shares of Common Stock for the accounts of Messrs. Black, Clifford and Curtis, representing approximately 0.44% of the total shares outstanding on such date (consisting of 7,627 shares for Jim D. Black; 4,547 shares for Anthony J.

PROPOSAL NO. 2

RATIFICATION AND APPROVAL OF THE

FNB BANCORP 2008 STOCK OPTION PLAN

          The shareholders of the Company are being asked to ratify and approve the FNB Bancorp 2008 Stock Option Plan (the “2008 Plan”). On February 22, 2008, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the 2008 Plan. The Board of Directors also authorized 380,000 shares of Common Stock to be reserved for issuance upon the exercise of options granted under the 2008 Plan. These 380,000 shares reserved for the 2008 Plan, aggregated with the total number of shares issuable upon exercise of all stock options outstanding as of December 31, 2007 (see discussion of the 2002 Plan and the 1997 Plan below), represent approximately 25% of the total shares of Company Common Stock (2,965,000 shares) outstanding as of December 31, 2007. The 2008 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options (“Incentive Options ”) and non-statutory stock options (“Non-statutory Options”). The terms and provisions of the 2008 Plan are summarized below, which summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the 2008 Plan, a copy of which is attached as Appendix A to this Proxy Statement.

          No stock options have been granted under the 2008 Plan since its adoption by the Board of Directors on February 22, 2008. The 2008 Plan provides that any option outstanding under the 2008 Plan which is exercised before shareholder approval is obtained shall be rescinded and the shares issued upon exercise of such option shall not be counted in determining whether such shareholder approval has been obtained. Continuance of the 2008 Plan is subject to approval by the shareholders of the Company within twelve (12) months after the date the Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors.

          Introduction

          The terms of the 2008 Plan are substantially the same as the FNB Bancorp 2002 Stock Option Plan (the “2002 Plan”) which was adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company on June 28, 2002 and ratified and approved by the shareholders of the Company at the Annual Meeting held on May 14, 2003. As of December 31, 2007, a total of 236,086 shares of Common Stock were reserved for issuance pursuant to the 2002 Plan, consisting of 215,726 shares reserved for outstanding and unexercised (both vested and unvested) stock options previously granted and 20,360 shares reserved for potential future grants. No stock options have been granted under the 2002 Plan since December 31, 2007 and the Board of Directors has determined that no further stock options should be granted under the 2002 Plan pending shareholder ratification and approval of the 2008 Plan.

28


          The terms of the 2002 Plan are substantially the same as the FNB Bancorp Stock Option Plan, successor to the First National Bank of Northern California 1997 Stock Option Plan (the “1997 Bank Plan”), which was adopted by the Board of Directors of First National Bank of Northern California (the “Bank”) and ratified and approved by the shareholders of the Bank at the Annual Meeting of the Bank held on October 15, 1997. The 1997 Bank Plan was assumed by the Company and became the FNB Bancorp Stock Option Plan (the “1997 Plan”) as of March 15, 2002, upon consummation of the plan of reorganization approved by the shareholders of the Bank (the Bank became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company effective March 15, 2002). As of December 31, 2007, a total of 74,094 shares of Common Stock were reserved for issuance pursuant to the 1997 Plan, consisting of 74,056 shares reserved for outstanding and unexercised (both vested and unvested) stock options previously granted and 38 shares reserved for potential future grants. No options have been granted under the 1997 Plan since March 15, 2002, except for options to acquire a total of 22,470 shares that were granted on June 22, 2007, utilizing shares which became available at such time due to previously outstanding options that had expired or terminated or had become unexercisable. No further options are expected to be granted under the 1997 Plan because the 10-year term of the predecessor 1997 Bank Plan would have expired in 2007. However, if any option outstanding under the 1997 Plan should expire, terminate or become unexercisable for any reason without having been exercised in full, the unpurchased shares which were subject to the option shall, unless the 1997 Plan shall have been terminated, become available for future grants under the 1997 Plan.

          Purpose

          The Board of Directors has adopted the 2008 Plan in order to attract and retain the best available personnel for positions of substantial responsibility and to provide additional incentive to the officers and directors of the Company and its affiliates, by encouraging them to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company, and in general, to promote the success of the Company’s business. This approach follows (and extends) the business philosophy behind the Board’s adoption of the 2002 Plan and the 1997 Plan.

          Shares Subject to the Plan

          The aggregate number of shares available for issuance pursuant to the exercise of options granted under the 2008 Plan may not exceed 380,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. Should any option granted under the 2008 Plan expire or become unexercisable for any reason without having been exercised in full, the shares subject to the portion of the option not so exercised will become available for subsequent option grants.

          The offer and sale of stock options pursuant to the 2008 Plan must be qualified under the California Corporate Securities Law of 1968, as amended, and the 380,000 shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the 2008 Plan must be registered under the federal Securities Act of 1933, as amended. To this end, the Company intends to file the appropriate application for qualification by permit with the California Commissioner of Corporations and also intends to file a registration statement on Form S-8 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

29


          Administration

          The 2008 Plan will be administered by the Board of Directors of the Company, or by a Stock Option Committee that may be appointed by the Board of Directors for such purpose, subject to such terms and conditions as the Board of Directors may prescribe. Any such Stock Option Committee must be composed of at least two (2) non-employee directors. Non-employee directors are eligible to receive option grants under the 2008 Plan. To date, the Board of Directors has not delegated administration of the 2008 Plan to a Stock Option Committee.

          The Board of Directors (or Stock Option Committee) will have full authority, subject to the provisions of the 2008 Plan, to determine the eligible individuals who are to receive options under the 2008 Plan, the number of shares to be covered by each granted option, the date or dates upon which the option is to become exercisable and the maximum term for which the option is to remain outstanding. The Board of Directors (or Stock Option Committee) will also have the authority to determine whether the granted option is to be an Incentive Option (under the federal tax laws) or a Non-statutory Option and to establish the rules and regulations for proper plan administration. The Board of Directors (or Stock Option Committee) also has the authority to cancel outstanding options granted under the 2008 Plan, with the consent of the optionee, and to issue replacement options for such canceled options.

          Eligibility

          Options granted under the 2008 Plan may be granted to officers and directors of the Company or the Bank (or any other affiliate of the Company which may be established in the future). Officers, including officers who are also directors of the Company, will be eligible for the grant of Incentive Options and Non-statutory Options. Non-employee directors of the Company will be eligible for the grant of Non-statutory Options only. Currently, there are approximately 66 officers (in addition to 5 non-employee directors of the Company) who would be eligible for option grants under the 2008 Plan. The terms of the 2008 Plan do not specify nor do they require the Board of Directors (or Stock Option Committee) to designate the number of shares allocated by category for the grant of options among directors, executive officers, and the other officers who are eligible for grants under the 2008 Plan. Because the Board of Directors (or Stock Option Committee) has full discretion to determine the number and amount of options to be granted under the 2008 Plan, the benefits that will be received under the 2008 Plan by the executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table, the executive officers as a group, and all other officers of the Company, are not presently determinable. Details regarding the stock options granted during 2007 and outstanding as of December 31, 2007 with regard to the executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table are presented above, in the tables entitled “2007 Grants of Plan-Based Awards” and “Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End 2007.”

30


          Exercise Price and Exercisability

          The Board of Directors (or Stock Option Committee) has the authority to determine the term of each option granted under the 2008 Plan; provided, however, that the maximum period during which any option may remain exercisable may not exceed ten years. In addition, each option must vest at the rate of at least 20 percent per year over the 5 years from the date of grant. Options issued under the 2008 Plan may either be immediately exercisable for the full number of shares purchasable thereunder or may become exercisable in cumulative increments over a period of months or years as determined by the Board of Directors (or Stock Option Committee).

          The exercise price of both Incentive Options and Non-statutory Options granted under the 2008 Plan may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of grant. The exercise price may be paid in cash or in shares of Common Stock of the Company already owned by the optionee for such duration as shall be specified by the Board of Directors, valued at fair market value on the exercise date, or by any combination of cash and shares of Common Stock equal to the exercise price. The exercise price may also be paid (a) through a same-day sale program, pursuant to which a designated brokerage firm would execute an immediate sale of the shares purchased under the option and pay over to the Company, out of the sales proceeds available on the settlement date, sufficient funds to cover the exercise price for the purchased shares plus applicable withholding taxes; or (b) by the delivery (on a form prescribed by the Company) of an irrevocable direction (i) to pledge the shares purchased under the option to a designated brokerage firm or other lender approved by the Company, as security for a loan, and (ii) to deliver all or part of the loan proceeds to the Company in payment of all or part of the exercise price for the purchased shares plus applicable withholding taxes; or (c) in any other form determined by the Board of Directors to be consistent with applicable laws, regulations and rules and the best interests of the Company, including but not limited to an election by the optionee (on a form prescribed by the Board of Directors) to have the Company withhold shares (having a value equal to the exercise price) from the total shares that otherwise would be received by the optionee upon exercise of his or her option, provided, however, that no optionee may elect to have the Company withhold more than a total of 5,000 option shares during any calendar year in order to effect such a “cashless exercise” transaction. For purposes of establishing the exercise price and for all other valuation purposes under the 2008 Plan, the fair market value per share of Common Stock on any relevant date will be determined by the Board of Directors in the good faith exercise of its discretion. In the exercise of its discretion, the Board of Directors will consider a number of relevant factors in determining fair market value, including but not limited to the reported prices at which the shares of Common Stock are traded. On April 1, 2008, based on information available to the Company’s management, the fair market value was estimated to be approximately $24.00 per share of Common Stock.

31


          Shareholder Rights and Transferability of Options

          No optionee is to have any shareholder rights with respect to his or her option shares until such optionee has exercised the option, paid the exercise price and been issued a stock certificate for the purchased shares. Options are not assignable or transferable other than by will or by the laws of inheritance, or to a revocable trust. During the optionee’s lifetime, options may be exercised only by the optionee.

          Termination of Employment or Directorship

          If an optionee ceases to be employed by the Company or any of its affiliates for any reason other than cause, as defined under the 2008 Plan, disability or death, or if a non-employee director optionee ceases to be a director for any reason other than disability or death, the optionee may, within three (3) months after the date of termination of employment or directorship, as the case may be, exercise his or her option to the extent the optionee was entitled to exercise the option at the date of such termination; provided that the date of exercise is in no event after the expiration of the term of the option. To the extent that the option is not exercised within such three-month time period, the option will terminate. If an employee’s termination of employment is for cause, as described in the 2008 Plan, the optionee may, within thirty (30) days after the date of termination of employment, exercise his or her option to the extent the optionee was entitled to exercise the option at the date of such termination, provided that the date of exercise is in no event after the expiration of the term of the option.

          In the event an optionee’s employment is terminated due to the optionee’s disability or death, or if a non-employee director optionee ceases to be a director due to such optionee’s disability or death, the optionee, or the optionee’s estate, as applicable, may, within twelve (12) months following the date of termination of employment or the termination of directorship, as the case may be, exercise the option to the extent the option was exercisable at the date of such termination of employment or directorship; provided that the date of exercise is in no event after the expiration of the term of the option. If the option is not exercised within such twelve-month period, the option will terminate.

          Adjustment Upon Changes in Capitalization or Other Corporate Event

          The number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the 2008 Plan, the number of shares of Common Stock covered by each outstanding option and the exercise price as to outstanding options shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the Company’s Common Stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company. Upon the dissolution, liquidation or sale of the Company, or a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving entity, outstanding options which would otherwise terminate in accordance with the 2008 Plan will become exercisable in full for such period as is determined by the Board of Directors (but in any event not more than 15 days) prior to the consummation of such event. After the consummation of such an event, outstanding options will terminate.

32


          Amendment and Termination of the Plan

          The 2008 Plan became effective upon its adoption by the Board of Directors. Subject to shareholder approval of the Plan within twelve (12) months after the date the 2008 Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors, the 2008 Plan will continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years unless sooner terminated by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may amend or terminate the 2008 Plan from time to time as the Board deems advisable. No such amendment or termination will affect outstanding options without the consent of the affected optionees.

          The Board may not, without the approval of the Company’s shareholders (to the extent such shareholder approval is required by applicable law), amend the 2008 Plan which would (i) materially increase the benefits accruing to participants under the 2008 Plan, (ii) materially increase the number of shares which may be issued under the 2008 Plan, or (iii) materially modify the requirements as to eligibility for participation in the 2008 Plan.

          Summary of Federal Tax Consequences

          The following is only a brief summary of the effect of federal income taxation on an optionee under the 2008 Plan. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment.” This Statement requires that compensation costs related to share-based payment transactions, such as stock options, be recognized in the financial statements. Under 123R, an optionee and the Company will be subject to certain tax consequences and accounting charges, regardless of the type of option.

          Options granted under the 2008 Plan may be either Incentive Options which satisfy the requirements of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code or Non-statutory Options which do not meet such requirements. The federal income tax treatment for the two types of options differs, as summarized below.

          Incentive Options. No taxable income is recognized by an optionee at the time of the grant of an Incentive Option, and no taxable income is generally recognized at the time an Incentive Option is exercised. However, the excess of the fair market value of the Common Stock received upon the exercise of an Incentive Option over the exercise price is includable in the employee’s alternative minimum taxable income (“AMTI”) and may be subject to the alternative minimum tax (“AMT”). For AMT purposes only, the basis of the Common Stock received upon exercise of an Incentive Option is increased by the amount of such excess.

33


          An optionee will recognize taxable income in the year in which the purchased shares acquired upon exercise of an Incentive Option are sold or otherwise disposed. For federal tax purposes, dispositions are divided into two categories: (i) qualifying and (ii) disqualifying. An optionee will make a qualifying disposition of the purchased shares if the sale or disposition is made more than two years after the grant date of the option and more than one year after the exercise date. If an optionee fails to satisfy either of these two holding periods prior to sale or disposition, then a disqualifying disposition of the purchased shares will result.

          Upon a qualifying disposition, an optionee will recognize long-term capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized upon the sale or other disposition of the purchased shares and the exercise price paid for the shares except that, for AMT purposes, the gain or loss would be the difference between the amount realized upon the sale or other disposition of the purchased shares and the employee’s basis increased as described above. If there is a disqualifying disposition of the shares, then the optionee will generally recognize ordinary income to the extent of the lesser of the difference between the exercise price and (i) the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of exercise, or (ii) the amount realized on such disqualifying disposition. Any additional gain recognized upon the disposition will be capital gain. If the amount realized is less than the exercise price, the optionee will, in general, recognize a capital loss. If the optionee makes a disqualifying disposition of the purchased shares, then the Company will be entitled to an income tax deduction, for the taxable year in which such disposition occurs, to the extent the optionee recognizes ordinary income. In no other instance will the Company be allowed a deduction with respect to the optionee’s disposition of the purchased shares.

          Non-statutory Options. No taxable income is recognized by an optionee upon the grant of a Non-statutory Option. The optionee will in general recognize ordinary income, in the year in which a Non-statutory Option is exercised, equal to the excess of the fair market value of purchased shares on the date of exercise over the exercise price paid for such shares, and the optionee will be required to satisfy the tax withholding requirements applicable to such income. Upon a subsequent sale of the purchased shares, the optionee will generally recognize either a capital gain or a capital loss depending on whether the amount realized is more or less than the exercise price. The Company will be entitled to a business expense deduction equal to the amount of ordinary income recognized by the optionee with respect to an exercised Non-statutory Option. The deduction will in general be allowed for the taxable year of the Company in which ordinary income is recognized by the optionee in connection with the acquisition of the option shares.

          Vote Required

          Adoption of the 2008 Plan is subject to approval by the Company’s shareholders. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is required to approve the adoption of the 2008 Plan provided that the number of affirmative votes equals at least a majority of the shares constituting the required quorum. Abstentions will be counted for purposes of determining the number of shares entitled to vote on the proposal and will have the effect of a vote against the proposal. Although any shares

34


which may be treated as broker non-votes with respect to this Proposal No. 2 will be counted to determine the presence or absence of a quorum, they will not be counted in determining the number of shares entitled to vote on this Proposal No. 2.

The Board of Directors recommends a vote “FOR” Proposal No. 2.

35


PROPOSAL NO. 3

RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

          The firm of Moss Adams LLP, which served the Company as independent auditors for the 2007 fiscal year, has been recommended by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company to serve as independent auditors for the 2008 fiscal year, and the Board of Directors has approved the Audit Committee recommendation. In this Proposal No. 3, the shareholders of the Company are being asked to ratify the appointment of Moss Adams LLP as independent auditors of the Company, to serve for the 2008 fiscal year.

          A representative of Moss Adams LLP is expected to attend the Annual Meeting and will have an opportunity to make a statement if the representative desires to do so, and the representative is expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions.

          During the two fiscal years of the Company ended December 31, 2007, and during the subsequent interim period through April 21, 2008, neither the Company nor First National Bank of Northern California consulted with Moss Adams LLP regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the financial statements of the Company, or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement or a reportable event under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Audit Fees

          The aggregate fees billed by Moss Adams LLP to the Company for professional services rendered for the integrated audit of the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, and for the review of the financial statements included in the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2007, June 30, 2007 and September 30, 2007, were $253,559.

All Other Fees

          Moss Adams LLP billed $14,460 for the audit of the FNB Bancorp Savings Plan during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.

          The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company has approved each professional service rendered by Moss Adams LLP during the fiscal year 2007, and the Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services would be compatible with maintaining the independence of Moss Adams LLP.

Vote Required

          Ratification of the appointment of Moss Adams LLP as the Company’s independent auditors for the 2008 fiscal year requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock present or represented by proxy and voting at the Annual Meeting.

36


Recommendation of Management

          The Board of Directors of the Company has approved the recommendation of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors to appoint Moss Adams LLP as independent auditors of the Company for the 2008 fiscal year, and recommends a vote “FOR” ratification of the appointment of Moss Adams LLP.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

          During 2007, the Audit Committee consisted of the following members of the Company’s Board of Directors: Edward J. Watson (Chairman), Neil J. Vannucci and Michael R. Wyman.

The Audit Committee’s responsibility is to monitor and oversee these processes.

          The Audit Committee’s responsibilities include assisting the Board of Directors in fulfilling its responsibility for oversight of the quality and integrity of the accounting, auditing, internal control and financial reporting practices of the Company. The Committee’s primary responsibilities are to: (1) serve as an independent and objective party to monitor the Company’s financial reporting process and internal control system; (2) review and evaluate the audit efforts of the Company’s independent accountants and the outsource internal audit firm; (3) evaluate the Company’s quarterly financial performance as well as its compliance with laws and regulations; (4) oversee management’s establishment and enforcement of financial policies and business practices; and (5) facilitate communication among the independent accountants, financial and senior management, counsel, the outsource internal audit firm and the Board of Directors.

          The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, with the Company’s management. The Committee has discussed with Moss Adams LLP, the Company’s independent auditors, the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 (Communication with Audit Committees). The Committee has also received the written disclosures and the letter from Moss Adams LLP required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussion with Audit Committees) and the Committee has discussed the independence of Moss Adams LLP with that firm.

37


          Based on the Audit Committee’s review and discussions noted above, the Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the Company’s audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

APPENDIX A

FNB BANCORP

Subject to the foregoing, from time to time the Board of Directors may increase the size of the committee and appoint new members to the committee, remove members of the committee, and fill vacancies however caused. The Board of Directors may designate a Chairman and Vice-Chairman of the committee from among the committee members. Acts of the committee (i) at a meeting, held at a time and place and in accordance with rules adopted by the committee, at which a quorum of the committee is present and acting, or (ii) reduced to and approved in a writing by a majority of the members of the committee, shall be the valid acts of the committee.

A-2


                  (b)     Discretionary grants of Options to Officers and Directors, including Non-employee Directors, may be made by, and all discretion with respect to the material terms of such Options may be exercised by, either (i) the Board of Directors or (ii) a duly appointed committee of the Board of Directors composed solely of two (2) or more Non-employee Directors having full authority to act in the matter.

                  (c)     FNB shall effect the grant of options under the Plan by the execution of instruments in writing in a form approved by the Committee. Subject to the express terms and conditions of the Plan, and the terms of any Option outstanding under the Plan, the Committee shall have full power to construe the Plan and the terms of any Option granted under the Plan, to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan or such Options and to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the Plan’s administration, including, without limitation, the power to (i) determine which persons meet the requirements of Section 5 hereof for selection as participants in the Plan and which persons are considered to be “employees” for purposes of the Code, and therefore eligible to receive Incentive Stock Options under the Plan; (ii) determine to whom of the eligible persons, if any, Options shall be granted under the Plan; (iii) establish the terms and conditions required or permitted to be included in every option agreement or any amendments thereto, including whether options to be granted thereunder shall be Incentive Stock Options or Non-statutory Stock Options; (iv) specify the number of Shares to be covered by each Option; (v) in the event a particular Option is to be an Incentive Stock Option, determine and incorporate such terms and provisions, as well as amendments thereto, as shall be required in the judgment of the Committee, so as to provide for or conform such Option to any change in any law, regulation, ruling or interpretation applicable thereto; (vi) determine the fair market value of Common Stock used by an Optionee to exercise Options pursuant to Section 7(c) hereof; (vii) to accelerate or defer (with the consent of the Optionee) the exercise date of any Option, consistent with the provisions of Section 6; (viii) to cancel Options outstanding under the Plan with the consent of the affected Optionee and to issue replacement Options therefor; provided however, that if the exercise price of such replacement Options is lower than the exercise price of the Options which were canceled in exchange therefor, then such replacement Options shall not become exercisable unless and until shareholder approval of such replacement Options is obtained within twelve (12) months of the date of grant of such options, such shareholder approval to consist of the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares represented and voting at a duly held meeting at which a quorum is present (which shares voting affirmatively also constitute at least a majority of the required quorum) or in such other manner as may be required by law, (ix) to amend or modify any Option outstanding under the Plan with the consent of the affected Optionee; and (x) to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for administering the Plan.

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

A-3


          5.     Eligibility.

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

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

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

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

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

A-4


          7.     Exercise Price and Consideration.

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

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

                  (c)     The consideration to be paid for the Shares to be issued upon exercise of an Option, including the method of payment, shall be determined by the Committee and may consist entirely of (i) cash, (ii) check (bank, cashier’s or certified), (iii) other Shares of Common Stock (held for the requisite period necessary to avoid a charge to FNB’s reported earnings) having a fair market value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which said Option shall be exercised, (iv) delivery of an election to FNB to withhold a sufficient number of Shares from the Shares otherwise due upon exercise of the Option having an aggregate fair market value on the date of exercise equal to the exercise price, provided, however, that no Optionee may elect to have the Company withhold more than a total of 5,000 Option Shares during any one calendar year in order to effect such a “cashless exercise” transaction, (v) by any combination of such methods of payment, or (vi) any other consideration and method of payment for the issuance of Shares permitted under applicable law. In addition, full payment for the purchased Shares may be effected through a broker-dealer sale and remittance procedure pursuant to which the Optionee (i) shall provide irrevocable written instructions to a designated brokerage firm to effect the immediate sale of the purchased Shares and remit to FNB, out of the sale proceeds available on the settlement date, sufficient funds to cover the aggregate exercise price payable for the purchased Shares plus all applicable federal, state and local income and employment taxes required to be withheld by FNB by reason of such purchase and (ii) shall provide written directives to FNB to deliver the certificates for the purchased Shares directly to such brokerage firm in order to complete the sale transaction. An Optionee’s election to deliver Shares or to have FNB withhold Shares from the Shares otherwise due upon exercise of the Option in order to satisfy the exercise price is subject to approval by the Committee and must be made in accordance with rules and procedures established by the Committee, including the time within which such an election must be made.

A-5


          8.     Exercise of Option.

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

          An Option shall be deemed to be exercised when written notice of such exercise has been given to FNB in accordance with the terms of the Option by the person entitled to exercise the Option and full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised has been received by FNB. Full payment may, as authorized by the Committee, consist of any consideration and method of payment allowable under Section 7(c) of the Plan. Until the issuance (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of FNB or of a duly authorized transfer agent of FNB) of the stock certificate evidencing such Shares, no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a shareholder shall exist with respect to the Optioned Stock, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the stock certificate is issued, except as provided in Section 11 of the Plan.

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

 

 

 

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

 

 

A-6


 

 

 

                 (ii)    Termination of Status as an Employee For Cause. If an Officer is determined by the Board of Directors to have committed an act of embezzlement, fraud, dishonesty, breach of fiduciary duty to FNB, or to have deliberately disregarded the rules of FNB which resulted in loss, damage or injury to FNB, or if an Officer Optionee makes any unauthorized disclosure of any of the secrets or confidential information of FNB, induces any client or customer of FNB to break any contract with FNB or induces any principal for whom FNB acts as agent to terminate such agency relations, or engages in any conduct which constitutes unfair competition with FNB, or if an Officer Optionee is removed from any office of FNB by any bank regulatory agency, then such Officer shall have the right for a period of thirty (30) days following the date of such termination to exercise the Option to the extent he or she was entitled to exercise such Option on the date of his or her termination of employment, provided the actual date of exercise is in no event after the expiration of the term of the Option. In making such determination, the Board of Directors shall act fairly and shall give the Officer Optionee an opportunity to appear and be heard at a hearing before the Board of Directors and to present evidence on the Officer Optionee’s behalf. For purposes of this Section 8(b), termination of employment shall be deemed to occur when FNB dispatches notice or advice to the Officer Optionee that the Officer Optionee’s employment is terminated and not at the time of the Officer Optionee’s receipt thereof, whether or not after termination of employment the Officer Optionee may receive payment from FNB for vacation pay, for services rendered prior to termination, for services for the day on which termination occurred, for salary in lieu of notice, or for any other benefits. As used in this Section 8(b), the term “FNB” includes any Affiliates of FNB.


 

 

 

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

 

 

 

                 (iv)    Death of Officer Optionee. In the event of the death of an Officer Optionee while such Optionee is an employee of FNB or any of its Affiliates, or during the three-month period referred to in Section 8(b)(i) hereof, the Option may be exercised at any time within twelve (12) months following the date of death, by the Officer Optionee’s estate or by a person who acquired the right to exercise such Option by bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent of the right to exercise that had accrued at the date of death and provided that the date of exercise is in no event after the date of expiration of such Option.

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

A-7


 

 

 

                 (i)     Death or Disability. If a Non-employee Director Optionee’s tenure on the Board is terminated by death or disability, such Optionee or such Optionee’s qualified representative (in the event of such Optionee’s mental disability) or such Optionee’s estate (in the event of such Optionee’s death) shall have the right for a period of twelve (12) months following the date of such death or disability to exercise the Option to the extent the Optionee was entitled to exercise such Option on the date of the Optionee’s death or disability; provided the actual date of exercise is in no event after the expiration of the term of the Option. An Optionee’s “estate” shall mean the Optionee’s legal representative or any person who acquires the right to exercise an option by reason of the Optionee’s death.

 

 

 

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

          9.     Non-Transferability of Options. Options may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution or to a revocable trust, and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Optionee, only by the Optionee.

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

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

A-8


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

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

          13.     Term of Plan. The Plan shall become effective upon the earlier to occur of its adoption by the Board of Directors or its approval by the shareholders of FNB as described in Section 17 of the Plan. It shall continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years unless sooner terminated under Section 14 of the Plan.

          14.     Amendment and Termination of the Plan.

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

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

A-9


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

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

          17.     Shareholder Approval of the Plan. Continuance of the Plan shall be subject to approval by the shareholders of FNB within twelve (12) months after the date the Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors. Such shareholder approval shall consist of approval by the affirmative votes of the holders of a majority of the outstanding securities of FNB present, or represented, and entitled to vote at a meeting duly held in accordance with applicable law, or by the written consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding securities of FNB entitled to vote. Any Option exercised before such shareholder approval is obtained shall be rescinded if such shareholder approval is not obtained within twelve (12) months after the date the Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors, and the Shares issued upon exercise of such Option shall not be counted in determining whether such shareholder approval is obtained.

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

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

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

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

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