 THIS EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT (the
“Agreement”) is made by and between CNB FINANCIAL CORPORATION, a Pennsylvania business corporation, CNB BANK, a state banking institution organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, with its principal
office at One South Second Street, P.O. Box 42, Clearfield, Pennsylvania 16830 (hereinafter collectively referred to as “CNB”), and LOUIS J. TORCHIO, an adult individual, residing at 7120 Deacon Court, Dublin, Ohio 43017
(hereinafter the “Officer”), to be effective as of the Effective Date (as defined below). 
 WHEREAS, Officer
previously served as the Executive Vice President and Director of Residential and Consumer Lending for The Farmers Citizens Bank (“FC Bank”); 
 WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, CNB has entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 26, 2013, by and between CNB and FC Banc Corp. (the “Merger
Agreement”), pursuant to which FC Bank will merge with and into CNB Bank, with CNB Bank being the surviving corporation; 
 WHEREAS, CNB desires to employ Officer after the Merger (as defined in the Merger Agreement), and Officer desires to accept such employment upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, including,
without limitation, the restrictive covenants in Sections 5 and 6 herein; and 
 WHEREAS, CNB and Officer (the
“Parties,” each a “Party”) desire this Agreement to be contingent upon and effective as of the consummation of the Merger (as defined in the Merger Agreement) in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement
(the “Effective Date”). 







 NOW WITNESSETH: 

The Parties for themselves, their heirs, successors, and assigns, in consideration of their mutual promises contained herein, intending
to be legally bound, hereby agree to the following terms and conditions. 
 1. EMPLOYMENT: As of the Effective Date, CNB
will employ Officer as the Senior Vice President of Retail Banking of FC Bank, a division of CNB Bank, and Officer agrees to serve in such capacity. Officer promises that during the term of this Agreement he shall dedicate his full time, attention,
and energies to his employment with CNB. Officer further promises that he will report to the President of FC Bank, and carry out the decisions and otherwise abide by and enforce the policies of CNB. 

Officer shall also perform such other reasonable duties as may hereafter be assigned to him by CNB, consistent with his abilities and
position, including but not limited to services to CNB Bank’s parent, CNB Financial Corporation, and its other subsidiaries. 
 Officer will not engage in any other employment during the term of this Agreement, nor shall he engage in self-employed activities. 

Officer also recognizes that CNB’s success and recognition depend on his involvement with charitable and social organizations. In
this regard, Officer agrees to engage in such social and charitable activities or organizations as are consistent with his personal responsibilities and with his position with CNB. 

Officer shall also comply with all other CNB procedures and polices now or hereafter in effect. 

Officer further agrees that he shall comport himself at all times in a manner that reflects upon CNB in a positive fashion. 

  
 2 








 2. TERM: The term of this Agreement shall be for two (2) years commencing on the
Effective Date, unless terminated sooner pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement. 
 However, the provisions of
Section 5 and 6 shall continue in force in accordance with the provisions therein and shall survive the expiration or termination of the term of employment and this Agreement. 

3. COMPENSATION: Officer’s annual base salary shall be one hundred seventy-five thousand and one hundred dollars ($175,100).
During the term of employment, Officer is eligible for an annual bonus with a target equal to thirty-five percent (35%) of his annual base salary based on goals and other conditions as the CEO and the President of CNB Bank, in their sole
discretion, shall determine on an annual basis. 
 4. OTHER BENEFITS: Officer shall be entitled to participate in
CNB’s retirement plan, health insurance plan, life insurance plan, and such other benefits as CNB from time to time may provide to its employees. 
 Officer shall also be entitled to twenty-two (22) days paid vacation plus such sick leave as he may reasonably and actually require, both of which are upon condition that, consistent with the past
practice of CNB and upon condition that, in the opinion of the CEO and the President of CNB Bank, the amount and timing of his vacation does not unreasonably interfere with or detract from the fulfillment of his duties under this Agreement.

 Officer shall be entitled to bereavement and such other employee benefits as now or hereafter may be granted by CNB’s
personnel policies. 
 5. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION: Officer acknowledges and agrees that as an inducement to CNB to
employ him and enter this Agreement with him, that he shall not disclose, directly or indirectly, intentionally or unintentionally, during the term of this Agreement or at any 

  
 3 








 
time after its expiration or termination, any of CNB’s proprietary information, account information, customer lists, customer information, policies, pricing, strategy, codes, strategic plan,
plans for expansion or business development, or other information of a confidential nature (hereinafter referred to as “Confidential Information”), whatsoever regarding CNB without first obtaining the prior, written consent from
CNB’s Chairperson of the Board of Directors that such disclosure is authorized. Communications with CNB’s employees, customers, and business relations are excepted from the foregoing prohibition during the term of this Agreement to the
extent that such communications are consistent with Officer’s duties. 
 Confidential Information shall include all
information recorded, memorialized, or communicated in any form whether written, printed, verbal, video, photographic, electronic, magnetic, digital, or otherwise. This concept shall also include such confidential information as Officer may have
memorized or remembered, notwithstanding the law of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or other law to the contrary. 
 Upon
expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason, Officer promises that he shall promptly return to CNB or its designated representative any Confidential Information, automobile, insurance cards, owner’s cards, keys, credit cards, or
other CNB property in his possession. 
 Officer further promises that he will not take, keep, or record copies, duplications,
or reproductions of the Confidential Information or other property subject to this Agreement after expiration or termination of this Agreement. 
 6. COVENANT NOT TO COMPETE: As additional consideration to CNB for entering this Agreement, and for granting the severance payment described in Section 7 below, which is a new benefit, Officer
covenants that he shall not compete against CNB, its parent, 

  
 4 








 
affiliates, or subsidiaries, either directly or indirectly, by taking employment, gratuitously assisting or serving as an independent contractor, consultant, partner, director, or officer with a
competitor of CNB, or starting his own business which would compete directly or indirectly with CNB, or have a material interest in any business, corporation, partnership, LLC, savings and loan, bank, financial institution, brokerage, or other
venture which competes directly or indirectly with CNB (except for holdings of no greater than 1% of the total outstanding shares in a publicly-traded company) while he is employed by CNB and until the expiration of a period of one (1) year
following the date on which Officer is last employed by CNB. For the purpose of defining and enforcing this covenant, CNB’s competitors will be identified at the time the Officer terminates employment with CNB. This determination shall
be based on CNB’s market area and CNB’s plans for expansion or acquisition into other market areas at the time the Officer terminates employment with CNB. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the market area shall be considered to be
the twenty-five (25)-mile radius of any location, branch, or division of CNB, its parent, affiliates, or subsidiaries. 
 The
Parties further agree that Officer’s covenant not to compete shall apply in the event of his regular retirement or voluntary termination of his employment hereunder. Officer agrees in this regard that the security provided by this Agreement is
adequate consideration for his covenant not to compete. 
 Officer agrees that the relevant public policy and legal aspects of
covenants not to compete have been discussed with him and that every effort has been made to limit the restrictions placed upon Officer to those that are reasonable and necessary to protect CNB’s legitimate interests. Officer acknowledges that,
based upon his education, experience, and training, the non-compete and non-solicitation provisions of this Section 6 will not prevent Officer from earning a livelihood and supporting Officer and his family during the relevant time period.


  
 5 








 The existence of a claim, charge, or cause of action by Officer against CNB or any of its
affiliates shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by CNB of the foregoing restrictive covenants, but such claim, charge, or cause of action shall be litigated separately. 

If any restriction set forth in this Section 6 is found by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable because it
extends for too long a period of time or over too great a range of activities or in too broad a geographic area, the court is hereby expressly authorized to modify this Agreement or to interpret this Agreement to extend only over the maximum period
of time, range of activities, or geographic areas as to which it may be enforceable. 
 7. SEVERANCE PAY: If
Officer’s employment is terminated without cause during the term of this Agreement, Officer shall be entitled to severance benefits equal to one (1) times his annual base salary for the year in which his employment ends. This severance pay
shall be tendered to Officer in cash in lump sum following his separation from service with CNB. 

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, it will be a condition to Officer’s right to
receive any severance payment under this Section 7 that he execute and deliver to CNB no later than fifty-three (53) days following his separation from service and not revoke a release of claims in favor of CNB in the form as may be
reasonably prescribed by CNB. Subject to Sections 12 and 13, the severance payment under this Section 7 will be paid the day after the expiration of the sixty (60)-day period following Officer’s separation from service, provided that
Officer has executed, delivered, and not revoked the release no later than fifty-three (53) days following his separation from service and such release is effective upon the sixtieth (60th) day following his separation from service. 

  
 6 








 A form of the release which Officer will be required to sign in order to receive the
foregoing severance payment is attached hereto as Exhibit A, and Officer hereby expressly approves it. 
 8.
TERMINATION: This Agreement may be terminated on the occurrence of any of the following events and if terminated under this paragraph, Officer shall not be entitled to severance pay under Section 7: 

 

	 	A.	The execution of a written agreement between CNB and Officer to terminate this Agreement; 


 

	 	B.	Officer’s death; 

  

	 	C.	Officer’s breach of any term or condition of this Agreement; 

  

	 	D.	Officer’s failure or refusal to comply with such reasonable policies, directions, standards and regulations that CNB may establish from time to time;


  

	 	E.	Officer’s inability to fully and competently perform his duties hereunder for a period of 180 continuous days due to physical, mental, or psychological illness,
injury, or condition; or 

  

	 	F.	Officer ceases to qualify for his offices and responsibilities under this Agreement pursuant to any statute or regulation, now or hereafter issued by the United States
of America, the Federal Reserve, the Office of the Comptroller of Currency, the Pennsylvania Department of Banking, or other regulatory agency or body duly invested with authority over CNB, its parent, or affiliate(s). 


9. NOTICES: All notices or communications required by or bearing upon this Agreement or between the Parties shall be in writing
and sent by First Class Mail to the Parties as follows, unless otherwise specified above: 
  

			
	CNB Financial Corporation	  	Louis J. Torchio
	CNB Bank	  	7120 Deacon Court
	Attention: Chairperson of the Board	  	Dublin, Ohio 43017
	One South Second Street, P.O. Box 42	  	
	Clearfield, PA 16830	  	


  
 7 








 10. NON-ASSIGNMENT: The Parties acknowledge the unique nature of services to be
provided by Officer under this Agreement, the high degree of responsibility borne by him and the personal nature of his relationship to CNB’s Board of Directors and customers. Therefore, the Parties agree that Officer may not assign this
Agreement. 
 11. ARBITRATION: The Parties agree that all disputes or questions arising under this
Agreement or because of their employment relationship shall be submitted to arbitration by three (3) arbitrators. Each Party shall select one (1) arbitrator, and then those two (2) arbitrators shall select a third (3rd) arbitrator. The arbitrators’ decision need not be
unanimous. Arbitration shall be conducted at a private location in Clearfield County convenient to the Parties. The arbitrators must reach and give notice of their decision within five (5) days after completion of an arbitration. The
Pennsylvania Uniform Arbitration Act, 42 Pa.C.S.A. § 57301 et seq. shall govern arbitrations hereunder. CNB shall compensate the arbitrators and stenographer if used. CNB shall also pay for the arbitration room. Each Party shall pay their
attorney fees and other costs. 
 12. LIMITATION ON PAYMENTS: In the event that the severance pay provided for in this
Agreement or otherwise payable to Officer (i) constitutes “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and (ii) but for this Section 12,
would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, than Officer’s severance pay shall be delivered as to such lesser extent which would result in no portion of such severance pay being subject to the excise tax under
Section 4999 of the Code (the “Reduced Amount”). When determining the Reduced Amount, the payments to be provided under this Agreement shall be reduced, but not below zero, by reducing or eliminating the cash payment. Unless
CNB and Officer otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under this Section 12 

  
 8 








 
shall be made in writing by CNB’s independent public accountants, whose determination shall be conclusive and binding upon CNB and Officer for all purposes. For purposes of making the
calculations required by this Section 12, the accountants may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999
of the Code. CNB and Officer shall furnish such information and documents as the accountants may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section. CNB shall bear all costs the accountants may reasonably incur in connection with
any calculations contemplated by this Section 12. 
 13. COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 409A OF THE CODE: Officer and CNB
acknowledge that each of the payments and benefits promised to Officer under this Agreement must either comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”) and the regulations thereunder or qualify
for an exception from compliance. To that end, Officer and CNB agree that the payment described in Section 7 is intended to be excepted from compliance with Section 409A as a short-term deferral pursuant to Treasury Regulation
Section 1.409A-1(b)(4). 
 In the case of a payment that is not excepted from compliance with Section 409A, and that
is not otherwise designated to be paid immediately upon a permissible payment event within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(a), the payment shall not be made prior to, and shall, if necessary, be deferred to and paid on the
later of the date sixty (60) days after Officer’s earliest separation from service (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)) and, if Officer is a specified employee (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation
Section 1.409A-1(i)) on the date of his separation from service, the first day of the seventh month following Officer’s separation from service. Furthermore, this Agreement shall be construed and administered in such manner as shall be
necessary to effect compliance with Section 409A. 

  
 9 








 14. INJUNCTIVE RELIEF: Officer acknowledges and accepts that his compliance with
Sections 5, 6, and/or 7 is an integral part of the consideration to be received by CNB and is necessary to protect the equity value, business and goodwill, and other proprietary interests of CNB. Officer acknowledges that a breach of Sections 5, 6
and/or 7 will result in irreparable and continuing damage to CNB and the business of CNB for which the remedies at law will be inadequate, and agrees that, in the event of any breach of the aforesaid Sections of this Agreement, CNB and its
successors and assigns shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief and to any such other and further relief as may be proper. 

15. ENFORCEABILITY: If any provision of this Agreement shall be found by a court with proper jurisdiction to be invalid or
unenforceable, in whole or in part, then such provision shall be deemed to be modified, narrowed, or restricted only to the limited extent and in the manner necessary to render the same valid and enforceable, as the case may require, and this
Agreement shall be construed and enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law as if such provision had been originally incorporated herein as so modified, narrowed, or restricted. 

16. GENERAL PROVISIONS: 
  

	 	A.	This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without reference to its principles of conflicts of law. 


 

	 	B.	In construing or interpreting this Agreement, “CNB” and “Officer” shall mean, wherever applicable, the singular or plural, the masculine or the
feminine, individual, individuals, partnership, or corporation, as the case may be. 

  

	 	C.	This Agreement represents the sole agreement of the Parties on these subjects and supersedes all prior communications, representations, and negotiations, whether oral
or written, except as set forth in a separate written settlement agreement by and between CNB and the Officer as of the date hereof. 

  

	 	D.	This Agreement can only be modified or amended by the prior written consent of both Parties hereto. 


  
 10 










	 	E.	Jurisdiction and venue shall rest in the Court of Common Pleas of Clearfield, Pennsylvania, for all suits, claims, and causes of action whatsoever.


  

	 	F.	Failure by either Party to pursue remedies or assert rights under this Agreement shall not be construed as waiver of that Party’s rights or remedies, nor shall a
Party’s failure to demand strict compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement prohibit or estop that Party from insisting upon strict compliance in the future. 


 

	 	G.	The Parties deem that the terms of this Agreement are unique, and in addition to their other rights and remedies at law, and at equity, either Party shall have the
right to specifically enforce the terms of this Agreement. 

  

	 	H.	This Agreement shall bind the Parties’ heirs, successors, representatives, related corporations, and assigns. 


 

	 	I.	Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, and payment to Officer by CNB, whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, are subject to and
conditioned upon their compliance with Section 18(k) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, 12 U.S.C. Section 1828(k), and any regulations promulgated thereunder. 


17. EFFECTIVENESS: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Agreement shall be subject to consummation of
the Merger (as defined in the Merger Agreement) in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, as the same may be amended by the parties thereto in accordance with its terms. In the event the Merger Agreement is terminated for any reason or
the Merger (as defined in the Merger Agreement) does not occur, this Agreement shall be deemed null and void with respect to all actions not yet taken pursuant to this Agreement.

 EXHIBIT A 
 RELEASE OF CLAIMS 
 For and in consideration of the payments to be
provided to me upon the expiration of the term of the Agreement or upon the termination of my employment, as applicable (the “Applicable Date”) pursuant to the applicable provision of the Employment Contract, between CNB Financial

action, rights, or claims of any type or description, known or unknown, which I have had in the past, now have, or might now have, through the date of my signing of this Release of Claims, in any way resulting from or arising out of my employment by
the Employer or any of its affiliates (including, if applicable, the termination of that employment) or pursuant to any federal, state, or local law, regulation, or other requirement, including without limitation Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of
1964, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the fair employment practices laws of the state or states in which I have been employed by the Employer or any of its affiliates, each as amended from time to
time. 
 In signing this Release of Claims, I acknowledge my understanding that I may not sign it prior to the Applicable Date,
but that I may consider the terms of this Release of Claims for up to twenty-one (21) days (or such longer period as the Employer may specify) from the later of the Applicable Date or the date I receive this Release of Claims, provided that
this Release of Claims, signed and dated by me, is received not later than the fifty-third (53rd) day following the Applicable Date by the person designated under the Agreement to receive notices on behalf of the Employer in order for me to
qualify for severance pay under the applicable provision of the Agreement. 
 I also acknowledge that I was advised by the
Employer and its affiliates to seek the advice of an attorney prior to signing this Release of Claims; that I have had sufficient time to consider this Release of Claims and to consult with an attorney, if I wished to do so, or to consult with any
other person of my choosing before signing; and that I am signing this Release of Claims voluntarily and with a full understanding of its terms. I understand that capitalized terms not defined in this Release of Claims have the meaning assigned to
them in the Agreement. 

  
 13 









 I further acknowledge that, in signing this Release of Claims, I have not relied on any
promises or representations, express or implied, that are not set forth expressly in the Agreement. I understand that I may revoke this Release of Claims at any time within seven (7) days of the date of my signing by written notice to the
person designated under the Agreement to receive notices on behalf of the Employer and that this Release of Claims will take effect only upon the expiration of such seven-day revocation period and only if I have not timely revoked it. 

Notwithstanding anything in this Release of Claims to the contrary, this Release of Claims shall not release the Employer from any of the
following: (a) obligations to pay to the wages and make payments for accrued but unused paid time off earned up to the date of my termination of employment to the extent required by applicable law or the policies of the Employer; (b) the
payment of any of the vested benefits under the tax-qualified plans and nonqualified plans of the Employer; (c) the rights to any vested equity grants with Employer common stock pursuant to the terms of the award agreements and plan governing
such equity grants; (d) vested rights under any welfare or insurance plan of the Employer including, but not limited to, COBRA insurance continuation rights with respect to health insurance coverage; or (e) the continuing obligations of
the Employer under any indemnity provisions currently applicable to my service with the Employer in any capacity. 
 Intending
to be legally bound, I have signed this Release of Claims under seal as of the date written below. 
 Signature:
