and entered into as of December 22, 2009, by and among SAIA, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
“Company”), The Prudential Insurance Company of America and the other holders of Notes (as defined
in the Agreement defined below) that are signatories hereto (together with their successors and
assigns, the “Noteholders”).

WITNESSETH:

     WHEREAS, the Company and the Noteholders are parties to a certain Amended and Restated Master
Shelf Agreement, dated as of June 26, 2009 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise
modified from time to time, the “Agreement”; capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise
defined shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Agreement), pursuant to which the
Noteholders have purchased Notes from the Company; and

     WHEREAS, the Company has requested that the Noteholders amend certain provisions of the
Agreement, upon consummation of a Successful Stock Offering, and subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, the Noteholders are willing to do so;

     NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of all of
which are acknowledged, the Company and the Noteholders agree as follows:

     1. Amendments.

     (a) Paragraph 2B. Paragraph 2B of the Agreement is amended by replacing such paragraph in its
entirety with the following:

     2B. Increase in Interest Rate. Effective as of the First Amendment Date (but
subject to the terms of paragraph 4A(iii)), the per annum stated interest rate on
the outstanding Notes of each Series shall automatically be increased to 9.75% per
annum commencing on the First Amendment Date and continuing thereafter until the
Company has delivered to the holders of the Notes an Officer’s Certificate for the
fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2011 or any fiscal quarter thereafter as required
under paragraph 5A(iii) demonstrating that the Company is in compliance with the
provisions of paragraphs 6A(1), 6A(2), 6A(3), 6A(4), 6A(5), 6A(6), 6B(iv) and 6G
hereof and certifying that no Default or Event of Default has occurred, at which
time the per annum stated interest rate on the outstanding Notes of each Series
shall automatically decrease to its original level prevailing immediately prior to
the First Amendment Date.

     (b) Paragraph 4A(ii). Paragraph 4A(ii) of the Agreement is amended by adding the following at
the end of such paragraph:

 

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no mandatory prepayment of the Notes shall be
required under this paragraph 4A(ii) in connection with the reduction of the
revolving credit commitments established pursuant to the Credit Agreement from
$160,000,000 to $120,000,000 on the First Amendment Date.

     (c) Paragraph 4A(iii). Paragraph 4A of the Agreement is amended by adding the following as a
new clause (iii) at the end of such Paragraph:

     (iii) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or any of the Notes,
the Company will, no later than 15 days after the First Amendment Date, pay to the
holders of the Notes $24,498,125.00 (the “First Amendment Payment”), which shall be
applied to the principal and interest installments on all Notes otherwise due and
payable on March 31, 2010, June 30, 2010, September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2010.
Upon timely receipt by the Noteholders of the First Amendment Payment, the principal
and interest installments due and payable on the Notes on March 31, 2010, June 30,
2010, September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2010 shall be deemed to have been paid in
full, and no Yield-Maintenance Amount shall be required in connection with such
payment. Failure to pay the First Amendment Payment no later than 15 days after the
First Amendment Date shall constitute an Event of Default.

     (d) Paragraph 5A. Paragraph 5A(iii) of the Agreement is amended by inserting “6A(6),” after
the reference to “6A(5)”.

     (e) Paragraph 5C. Paragraph 5C of the Agreement is amended by replacing clauses (iii) and

request of the Required Holders, through the authorized agents and representatives
of such holders (who need not be employees of such holders), to conduct periodic
field audits of the Company and its Subsidiaries and to review its operations, books
and records, credit policies, charge-off policies, collection procedures,
methodology for eligibility calculations, and other matters relating to the value
and maintenance of the accounts receivable and the Company’s financial reporting.
Field audits will be conducted semi-annually. Additional field audits may be
conducted at any time in the reasonable exercise of the sole discretion of the
holders of the Notes. The Company will pay all reasonable costs and expenses
actually incurred by the holders of the Notes in connection with each field audit;

Event of Default, the Company shall not be required to pay the costs of more than
two field audits per year.

     (iv) The Company will permit the holders of the Notes, at the reasonable
request of the Required Holders, to order and obtain desktop appraisals of the
Company’s Rolling Stock (meaning appraisals of limited scope whereby the appraiser
estimates the value of the Rolling Stock from his or her desk based on a
current listing supplied to him or her, but without conducting a

2

 

physical inspection
of the Rolling Stock). Each desk-top appraisal shall be conducted by a qualified
appraiser selected by the Required Holders and shall set forth the appraiser’s
estimate of the Net Orderly Liquidation Value of the Company’s Rolling Stock.
Desktop appraisals will be obtained semi-annually. Additional desktop appraisals
may be conducted at any time in the reasonable exercise of the sole discretion of

     “Excess Cash on Hand” means, as of any date, the amount (but only if a positive

amount of contingent liabilities at any time computed as the amount that, in the light of all the
facts and circumstances existing at such time, represents the amount that can reasonably be
expected to become an actual or matured liability).

     5. Reaffirmation and Acknowledgment. The Guarantor consents to the execution and
delivery by the Company of this Amendment and ratifies and confirms the terms of the Guaranty
Agreement with respect to the indebtedness now or hereafter outstanding under the Agreement as

notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other document evidencing any
indebtedness of the Company to the holders of the Notes or any other obligation of the Company, or

the Guarantor under the Guaranty Agreement.

     6. Effect of Amendment. Except as set forth expressly herein, all terms of the
Agreement, as amended hereby, and the other Note Documents shall be and remain in full force and
effect and shall constitute the legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligations of the Company to
all holders of the Notes. The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not,
except as expressly provided herein, operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the
holders of the Notes under the Agreement, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of the
Agreement. From and after the date of the consummation of a Successful Stock Offering, all
references to the Agreement shall mean the Agreement as modified by this Amendment. This Amendment

the Company, the Guarantor, the holders of the Notes and their respective successors,
successors-in-titles, and assigns.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT, entered into as of this 22nd day of December, 2009, by and between:

TIMOTHY G. RUBRITZ

(the “Officer”),

and

FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF PENNSYLVANIA

(the “Company”),

WITNESSETH THAT:

WHEREAS, Company desires to obtain the services of Officer; and

WHEREAS, Officer desires to become employed by Company; and

WHEREAS, Company desires to set forth the terms of the employment of the Officer; and

WHEREAS, the Officer is willing to commit himself to serving the Company on the terms and
conditions provided in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and covenants herein contained, and intending to
be legally bound, the parties hereto agree as follows:

SECTION 1 Recitals.

The foregoing recitals are incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein.

SECTION 2 Term of Agreement.

	(a)	 	Initial Term. The term of employment of the Officer under this Agreement shall be,
initially, a two (2) year term commencing on the date of execution (the “Commencement Date”)
and ending on the second anniversary of the Commencement Date (the “Termination Date”). Said
term shall be subject to automatic extension by operation of the provisions of Section 2(b)
hereof.

Page 1

 

	 	(b)	 	Renewal Extension Term. On the first anniversary of the Commencement Date and
on each succeeding anniversary date thereafter (“Renewal Commencement Date”), the term of
employment of the Officer under this Agreement shall be automatically extended for one (1)
additional year, thereby extending the contract to the second anniversary of the Renewal
Commencement Date, unless either party shall have elected to fix the expiration date of the
Officer’s term of employment.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Termination of Automatic Renewal.

	 	(1)	 	Each of the parties shall have the right to terminate the automatic renewal by
written notice 60 days prior to the Renewal Commencement Date and thereby fix the
expiration of the term of the Agreement under this Section;
	 
	 	(2)	 	If either party provides a notice of termination of automatic renewal to
the other, the term of the Agreement of the Officer under this Section shall continue
until the later of:

	 	(a)	 	the Termination Date of the Initial Term as described in
Section 2(a) herein; or
	 
	 	(b)	 	the anniversary as determined by the Renewal Commencement Date
as described in Section 2(b) herein.

	 	(3)	 	Said term shall not continue after December 31st of the year in
which the Officer turns 65, whether or not such notice shall have been given in such
year.

	 	(d)	 	Examples of Operation of this Section. The following are offered merely by way
of illustration, and strictly for purposes of providing examples of the operation of Section
2(a) (Initial Term) and (b) (Renewal Extension Term) of this Agreement:
	 
	 	 	 	Example of Initial Term: In the event the Commencement Date is December 15, 2009,
the Initial Term is December 15, 2009, to December 14, 2011;
	 
	 	 	 	Example of Renewal Extension Term: The Renewal Extension Term of this Agreement
will automatically renew for an additional one (1) year term on December 15, 2010, and on
each December 15th thereafter for an additional one (1) year term; therefore, on
December 15, 2010, the Renewal Extension Term runs from December 15, 2010 to December 14,
2012; and

Page 2

 

	 	 	 	Example of Non-Renewal: In the event written notice of non-renewal is provided to
the employee prior to October 15, 2010 (or any October 15th thereafter), the
term of this Agreement will end on December 14, 2011 (or any December 14th
thereafter).

SECTION 3 Compensation.

In consideration for services rendered to the Company under this Agreement, the Company shall pay
and provide to the Officer the following compensation and benefits:

	 	(a)	 	Salary. The Company shall pay Officer an annual minimum base salary of

adjusted from time to time to reflect such merit increases as the Company may determine
are appropriate.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Participation in Performance and Incentive Compensation and Bonus Plans. At
the discretion of the Compensation Committee of F.N.B. Corporation, the Officer shall
be entitled to participate in incentive compensation and such other bonus plans
comparable to those given to similarly-positioned officers of the Company or its
present or future subsidiaries or affiliates only during the term of Officer’s
employment with the Company. The Company will pay any bonus under such plans within
the period ending on the 15th day of the third month following the end of
the Corporation’s fiscal year, but in no event after the close of the fiscal year
following the year the Officer earns the bonus.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Fringe Benefits. The Officer shall be entitled to vacations, retirement
benefits and other fringe benefits, including but not limited to group life, disability
and health insurance coverages comparable with those furnished to similarly positioned
officers of the Company and consistent with the prevailing compensation policies and
practices of the Company (now and in the future) as they may change from time to time,
with respect to similarly-positioned officers of the Company or its present or future
subsidiaries or affiliates.

SECTION 4 Resignation.

If the Officer voluntarily resigns as an officer or employee of the Company or its significant
present or future subsidiaries or affiliates, the Officer shall no longer be considered an employee
for any purpose and the Officer shall not be entitled to any separation pay, compensation, or
benefits after the effective date of the Officer’s

governmental agency applicable to the Company or its subsidiaries and
affiliates;
	 
	 	(2)	 	the repeated and deliberate failure by the Officer, after

respect.

	 	(b)	 	If Company terminates the Officer for Proper Cause, the Officer shall not be an

and in the future) with respect to similarly positioned officers of the Company
or its present or future subsidiaries or affiliates.
	 
	 	(7)	 	Nothing herein shall restrict the Officer’s vested rights, if

Page 7

 

of Section 11 at any time during the Restricted Period by filing with the Company a duly executed
statement satisfactory to Company, releasing the Company and, if applicable, its insurance
carriers, from any and all obligations under the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding said
Release, Officer shall remain subject to all other covenants and restrictions of this Agreement,
including, but not limited to Sections 12 and 13.

SECTION 11 IRS Code Section 409A

	 	(a)	 	This Agreement is intended to comply with Code Section 409A and the
interpretative guidance thereunder, including the exceptions for short-term deferrals,
separation pay arrangements, reimbursements, and in-kind distributions, and shall be
administered accordingly. This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted with such
intent. Each payment under Section 11 of this Agreement or any Company benefit plan is
intended to be treated as one (1) of a series of separate payments for purposes of Code
Section 409A and Treas. Reg. §1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii) (or any similar or successor
provisions).
	 
	 	(b)	 	If a payment under this Agreement does not qualify as a short-term deferral
under Code Section 409A and Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(4) (or any similar or successor
provisions), and the Officer is a Specified Employee as of his Termination Date, the
date of the Termination Date or, if earlier, the date of the Executive’s death (the
“Six-Month Delay Rule”). Payments to which the Officer would otherwise be entitled
during the first six months following the Termination Date (the “Six-Month Delay”) will
be accumulated and paid on the first date of the seventh month following the
Termination Date. Notwithstanding the Six-Month Delay Rule set forth in this Section
to the maximum extent permitted under Code Section 409A and Treas. Reg. §1.409A-(b)(4)
(or any similar or successor provisions), during each month of the Six-Month Delay, the
Company will pay the Officer an amount equal to the lesser of:

	 	(a) the total monthly severance provided under Section 8 above, or
	 
	 	(b) one-sixth (1/6) of the lesser of:

	 	(1)	 	the maximum amount that may be taken into account under a
qualified plan pursuant to Code Section 401(a)(17) for the year in which the
Officer’s Date of Termination occurs, and
	 
	 	(2)	 	the sum of the Officer’s annualized compensation based upon the
annual rate of pay for services provided to the Company for the taxable year of
the Officer preceding the taxable year of the Officer in which

Page 8

 

	 	 	 	this Termination Date occurs (adjusted for any increase during that year that
was expected to continue indefinitely if the Officer had not had a Termination
Date); provided that amounts paid under this section will count toward, and will
not be in addition to, the total payment amount required to be made to the
Officer by the Company under all other sections of this Agreement; and

	 	(c)	 	For purposes of this Agreement, “Specified Employee” has the meaning given that
term in Code Section 409A and Treas. Reg. 1.409A-1(c)(i) (or any similar or successor
provisions). The Employer’s “specified employee identification date” (as described in
Treas. Reg. 1.409A-1(c)(i)(3)) will be December 31st of each year, and the
Employer’s “specified employee effective date” (as described in Treas. Reg.
1.409A-1(c)(i)(4) or any similar or successor provisions) will be February
1st of each succeeding year.

SECTION 12 Non-Competition.

	 	(a)	 	For purposes of this Agreement, reference to the term “Competitive Enterprise”
shall mean any bank holding company, finance company or insured depository institution
(including an institution in the organization stage or in the process of applying for
or receiving appropriate regulatory approval), including, without limitation, any
federal or state chartered bank, savings bank, savings and loan association, credit
union or other financial services provider or non-banking affiliate thereof offering
similar services or products as those offered by the Company to its customers.
	 
	 	(b)	 	During the term of this Agreement and during the two (2) year period
immediately following termination of Officer’s employment (which may include, without
limitation, Officer’s resignation or any event specified in Sections 7 and 8 hereof)
(hereinafter referred to as “Restricted Period”), the Officer shall not:

	 	(1)	 	accept a position as director, employee, consultant, advisor or
agent of any Competitive Enterprise which is located in any county in the
Company’s region to which Officer is assigned at the time of Officer’s
termination of employment and any contiguous county and any county in the
Company’s region to which Officer was assigned 24 months prior to Officer’s
termination of employment.
	 
	 	(2)	 	acquire an ownership interest (individually or in concert with
others) in a Competitive Enterprise whereby said ownership interest enables
Officer to, directly or indirectly, in any manner, control, direct,

Page 9

 

	 	 	 	influence, affect or impact the operations, services or business activities of
the Competitive Enterprise in any county, or county contiguous thereto, in which
Company or its subsidiaries operate an office at the time of Officer’s
termination of employment;

SECTION 13 Non-Solicitation.

During the Restricted Period the Officer shall not:

	 	(a)	 	in any way, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of selling
any product or service that competes with a product or service offered by the
Company or its present or future subsidiaries or affiliates, solicit, divert,

	 	(1)	 	any customer or existing business of Company,
with whom the Officer solicited, became aware of, or transacted
business during Officer’s employment with Company;

transacted business during Officer’s employment with Company;

	 	(b)	 	accept or provide assistance in the accepting of (including,
but not limited to providing any service, information, assistance or other
facilitation or other involvement) business, patronage or orders from customers
or any potential customers of Company with whom the Officer has had contact,
involvement or responsibility during the term of this Agreement.

	 	(c)	 	employ or assist in employing any present employee of the
Company or any of its affiliates (whether or not such employment is full time
or is pursuant to a written contract), for the purpose of having such employee
perform services for any Competitive Enterprise or other organization in
competition with the business of the Company or any of its present or future
subsidiaries or affiliates;

	 	(d)	 	in any way, directly or indirectly, make any oral or written
statement, comments, or other communications designed or intended to impugn,
disparage or otherwise malign the reputation, ethics, competency, morality or
qualifications of the Company or any of its directors or employees or
customers.

Page 10

 

SECTION 14 Confidentiality.

	 	(a)	 	For purposes of this Agreement, “Proprietary Information” shall mean any
information relating to the business of the Company or any of its present or future
subsidiaries or affiliates that has not previously been publicly released by authorized
representatives of the Company or any authorized representatives of any of its present
or future subsidiaries or affiliates, and shall include (but shall not be limited to)
Company information encompassed in all marketing and business plans, financial
information, costs, pricing information, customer and client lists and relationships
between Company and dealers, distributors, sales representatives, wholesalers,
customers, clients, suppliers, and others who have business dealings with Company, and
all methods, concepts, or ideas in or reasonably related to the business of the Company
or any of its present or future subsidiaries or affiliates and not in the public
domain.
	 
	 	(b)	 	The Officer agrees to regard and preserve as confidential all Proprietary
Information that has been or may be developed or obtained by the Officer in the course
of Officer’s employment with the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates, whether
Officer has such information in Officer’s memory, writing, electronic media or other
physical form, including information maintained by Officer on any computer, electronic
device, or other personal property owned by Officer. The Officer shall not, without
written authorization from the Company, use for Officer’s benefit or purposes, nor
disclose to others at any time, either during the term of Officer’s employment or
thereafter, except as required by the conditions of Officer’s employment hereunder, any
Proprietary Information connected with the business or development of the Company or
its subsidiaries or affiliates. This prohibition shall not apply after the Proprietary
Information has been voluntarily disclosed to the public, independently developed and
disclosed by others, or otherwise enters the public domain through lawful means.

SECTION 15 Removal of Documents or Objects.

The Officer agrees not to remove from the premises of the Company or any of its present or future
subsidiaries or affiliates, except as an employee of the Company in pursuit of the business of the
Company or any of its present or future subsidiaries or affiliates, or except as specifically
permitted in writing by the Company, any document or object containing or reflecting any
Proprietary Information. The Officer recognizes that all such documents, tangible and intangible

of the Company.

Page 11 

 

SECTION 16 Remedies.

In addition to any other rights and remedies Company may have if Officer violates this Agreement,
the Company and Officer agree as follows:

	 	(a)	 	It is understood and agreed by and between the parties hereto that the services
to be rendered by the Officer hereunder are of a special, unique, extraordinary and
intellectual character, which gives them a peculiar value, the loss of which may not be
reasonably or adequately compensated in damages, and additionally that a breach by the
Officer of the covenants set out in Sections 12, 13, 14 and 15 of this Agreement will
cause the Company great and irreparable injury and damage. The Officer hereby
expressly agrees that the Company shall be entitled to the remedies of injunction,
specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent a breach of Sections 12, 13,
14 and 15 of this Agreement by the Officer. This provision shall not, however, be
construed as a waiver of any of the remedies which the Company may have for damages or
otherwise.
	 
	 	(b)	 	In the event Officer shall be in violation of any of the aforementioned
restrictive covenants, the time limitation thereof with respect to them shall be
extended for a period of time equal to the period of time during which breach or
breaches should occur; and in the event the Company should be required to seek relief
from such breach in any court, board of arbitration or other tribunal, the covenants
shall be extended for a period of time equal to the pendency of such proceedings,
including appeals.

SECTION 17 Survival of Provisions

Employee’s employment.

SECTION 18 Subsidiaries and Affiliates.

affiliate, the rights, duties and obligations of the Officer and Company expressed and implied in

same force and effect as would be obtained if the subsidiary or affiliate were a party hereto

shall be subject to anticipation, commutation, alienation, sale, assignment,
encumbrance, charge, pledge or hypothecation or to execution, attachment, levy, or
similar process or assignment by operation of law, and any attempt, voluntary or
involuntary, to effect any such action shall be null, void and of no effect; provided,
however, that nothing in this Section shall preclude the assumption of such rights by
executors, administrators or other legal representatives of the Officer or Officer’s
estate and their assigning any rights hereunder to the person or persons entitled
