 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the mutual benefits to be
derived from this Agreement, and of the representations, warranties, conditions, covenants and promises herein contained, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the parties hereto mutually agree as follows: 
  
 ARTICLE I. THE MERGER 
  
 1.1 Merger. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the
Plan of Merger, as of the Effective Time (as defined in Section 1.10 hereof), Integrity shall be merged with and into FNB (the “Merger”), the separate corporate existence of Integrity shall cease, the corporate existence of FNB, as
the surviving corporation in the Merger, shall continue under the laws of the State of North Carolina and, if FNB determines in its reasonable discretion that such name is available for its use, FNB shall change its name to “FNB United
Corp.” FNB, as the surviving corporation in the Merger, is hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Surviving Corporation.” 
  
 1.2 Effect of the Merger. At the Effective Time and by reason of the Merger, and in accordance with applicable law, all of the property,
assets and rights of every kind and character of FNB and of Integrity including, without limitation, its stock in its wholly owned bank subsidiaries, Catawba Valley Bank (“CVB”) and First Gaston Bank of North Carolina (“FGB”),
and all real, personal or mixed property, all debts due on whatever account, all other choses in 

 action and every other interest of or belonging to or due to Integrity, whether tangible or intangible, shall vest in the
Surviving Corporation, and the Surviving Corporation shall succeed to all the rights, privileges, immunities, powers, purposes and franchises of a public or private nature of Integrity and FNB, all without any conveyance, assignment or further act
or deed; and the Surviving Corporation shall become responsible for all of the liabilities, duties and obligations of every kind, nature and description of Integrity and FNB as of the Effective Time. 
  
 1.3 Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws and Management. The
Articles of Incorporation and bylaws of FNB in effect at the Effective Time shall be the Articles of Incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended in accordance with applicable laws. The officers and directors of FNB
at the Effective Time shall continue to hold such offices and positions of the Surviving Corporation until removed as provided by law or until the election or appointment of their respective successors. 
  
 1.4 Conversion of Shares. 
  
 (a) Integrity Stock. Except as otherwise provided
herein, at the Effective Time, all rights of Integrity’s shareholders with respect to all then outstanding shares of the common stock of Integrity, $1.00 par value per share (“Integrity Stock”), shall cease to exist, and the holders
of shares of Integrity Stock shall cease to be, and shall have no further rights as, shareholders of Integrity. At the Effective Time, each such outstanding share of Integrity Stock (except for shares held, other than in a fiduciary capacity or as a
result of debts previously contracted, by Integrity, FNB or any of their subsidiaries, which shall be canceled in the Merger) shall be converted, without any action on the part of the holder of such shares, into the right to receive the Merger
Consideration (as defined in Section 1.5) in accordance with this Article I. Following the Effective Time, certificates representing shares of Integrity Stock outstanding at the Effective Time shall evidence only the right of the registered
holder thereof to receive, and may be exchanged for, the Merger Consideration. 
  
 (b) Outstanding FNB Stock. Each share of common stock of FNB, par value $2.50 per share (“FNB Stock”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall continue to be issued
and outstanding and shall not be affected by the Merger. 
  
 1.5 Merger Consideration. 
  
 (a)
Per Share Consideration. Subject to the provisions of this Article I, at the Effective Time each outstanding share of Integrity Stock (except for shares held, other than in a fiduciary capacity or as a result of debts previously
contracted, by Integrity, FNB or any of their subsidiaries) shall cease to represent any interest (equity, shareholder or otherwise) in Integrity and shall automatically be converted exclusively into the right to receive $5.20 in cash, without
interest, and a number of shares of FNB Stock equal to the product of 1.1209 (the “Exchange Ratio”) and 0.78. The amount of cash into which shares of Integrity Stock shall be converted pursuant to this Agreement is sometimes hereinafter
referred to as “Cash Consideration,” and the number of shares of FNB Stock into which shares of Integrity Stock shall be converted pursuant to this Agreement is sometimes hereinafter referred to as “Stock Consideration.” The Cash
Consideration and Stock Consideration are sometimes referred to herein collectively as the “Merger Consideration.” No share of Integrity Stock shall be deemed 
  

 2 

 to be outstanding or have any rights other than those set forth in this Section 1.5(a) after the Effective Time. The
Exchange Ratio is subject to possible adjustment in accordance with Section 1.5(c) and/or Section 8.2(c) below. 
  
 (b) Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each holder of shares of Integrity Stock exchanged pursuant to
the Merger who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of FNB Stock (after taking into account all certificates delivered by such holder under Section 1.7(a) below, shall receive, in lieu thereof, cash (without
interest) in an amount equal to such fractional part of a share of FNB Stock multiplied by the market value of one share of FNB Stock at the Effective Time. The market value of one share of FNB Stock at the Effective Time shall be the last sale
price of FNB Stock on Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. National Market System (“NASDAQ”) as reported by The Wall Street Journal or, if not reported thereby, any other authoritative source selected by FNB, on the last trading day preceding
the Effective Time. No such holder will be entitled to dividends, voting rights, or any other rights as a shareholder in respect of any fractional shares. 
  
 (c) Anti-Dilution Provisions. In the event FNB changes the number of shares of FNB Stock issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time
as a result of a stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares, or similar transaction with respect to such stock and the record date therefor (in the case of a stock dividend) or the effective date
thereof (in the case of a stock split, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares, or similar transaction for which a record date is not established) shall be prior to the Effective Time, the Exchange Ratio shall be
appropriately adjusted to reflect such change. 
  
 1.6
Closing Payment. As of the Effective Time, FNB shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with Registrar and Transfer Company, in its capacity as the transfer agent of FNB Stock (the “Exchange Agent”), for the benefit of
each holder of Integrity Stock for exchange in accordance with this Article I, (i) certificates representing the aggregate number of whole shares of FNB Stock to be issued as Stock Consideration, and (ii) the aggregate amount of cash to be
delivered to holders of Integrity Stock as Cash Consideration and in lieu of any fractional shares, to be issued and paid pursuant to this Article I for outstanding shares of Integrity Stock (such certificates for shares of FNB Stock and such cash
are referred to as the “Exchange Fund”). The Exchange Agent shall, pursuant to irrevocable instructions in accordance with this Article I, deliver the FNB Stock and cash contemplated to be issued with respect to Integrity Stock out of the
Exchange Fund. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose. The Exchange Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund, as directed by FNB, on a daily basis. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments
shall be paid to FNB. 
  
 1.7 Exchange of Shares.

  
 (a) Exchange Procedures. After the Effective
Time, FNB shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to the shareholders of Integrity of record at the Effective Time transmittal materials and other appropriate written instructions (collectively, a “Transmittal Letter”) (which shall specify
that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the certificate representing shares of Integrity Stock prior to such Effective Time shall pass, only upon proper delivery of such certificates to the Exchange Agent and which shall be in
such form 
  

 3 

 and have such other provisions as FNB may reasonably specify). After the Effective Time and upon the proper surrender of
certificate(s) representing shares of Integrity Stock to the Exchange Agent, together with a properly completed and duly executed Transmittal Letter, the holder of such certificate(s) shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the number of
shares of FNB Stock and the cash to which such holder is entitled hereunder (including any cash payments to which such holder is entitled hereunder in respect of rights to receive fractional shares and any dividends or other distributions to which
such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 1.7(c)), subject to any required withholding of applicable taxes. Neither FNB nor the Exchange Agent shall be obligated to deliver any of such payments in cash or stock until such holder surrenders
the certificate(s) representing such holder’s shares. The certificate(s) so surrendered shall be duly endorsed as the Exchange Agent may require. If there is a transfer of ownership of any shares of Integrity Stock not registered in the
transfer records of Integrity, the Merger Consideration shall be issued to the transferee thereof if the certificates representing such Integrity Stock are presented to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents required, in the reasonable
judgment of FNB and the Exchange Agent, to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence that any applicable stock transfer taxes have been paid. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of certificates
representing Integrity Stock for six months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to FNB, upon demand, and any shareholders of Integrity who have not previously complied with the provisions of this Article I shall thereafter look only to FNB
for payment of their claim for FNB Stock and cash and any dividends or distributions with respect to FNB Stock. Any portion of the Exchange Fund remaining unclaimed by holders of Integrity Stock five years after the Effective Time (or such earlier
date immediately prior to such time as such portion would otherwise escheat to or become property of any government entity) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, become the property of FNB free and clear of any claims or interest of any
person previously entitled therein. Any other provision of this Agreement notwithstanding, neither FNB nor the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any holder of shares of Integrity Stock for any amounts paid or properly delivered in good faith to a
public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property law. 
  
 (b) Lost Certificates. Any shareholder of Integrity whose certificate representing shares of Integrity Stock has been lost, destroyed, stolen or otherwise is missing shall be entitled to receive a certificate representing the
shares of FNB Stock and/or any cash, including cash in lieu of fractional shares, to which he or she is entitled in accordance with and upon compliance with conditions reasonably imposed by the Exchange Agent or FNB (including, without limitation, a
requirement that the shareholder provide a lost instruments indemnity bond in form, substance and amount reasonably satisfactory to the Exchange Agent and FNB). 
  

(c) Rights of Former Integrity Shareholders. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of Integrity shall be closed as to holders
of Integrity Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time and no transfer of Integrity Stock by any such holder shall thereafter be made or recognized. Until surrendered for exchange in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.7(a) of this
Agreement, each certificate theretofore representing shares of Integrity Stock (other than shares to be canceled pursuant to Section 1.4(a) of this Agreement) shall from and after the Effective Time represent for all purposes only the right to
receive the Merger Consideration. If, after the Effective Time, certificates representing Integrity Stock are presented to FNB or the Exchange Agent for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as 
  

 4 

 provided in this Article I. To the extent permitted by North Carolina law, former shareholders of record of Integrity
shall be entitled to vote after the Effective Time at any meeting of shareholders of FNB the number of whole shares of FNB Stock into which their respective shares of Integrity Stock are converted, regardless of whether such holders have exchanged
their certificates representing Integrity Stock for certificates representing FNB Stock in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Whenever a dividend or other distribution is declared by FNB on the FNB Stock, the record date for which is
at or after the Effective Time, the declaration shall include dividends or other distributions on all shares of FNB Stock to be issued pursuant to the Merger, but beginning at the Effective Time no dividend or other distribution payable to the
holders of record of FNB Stock as of any time subsequent to the Effective Time shall be delivered to the holder of any certificate representing shares of Integrity Stock issued and outstanding at the Effective Time until such holder surrenders such
certificate for exchange as provided in Section 1.7(a) of this Agreement; provided, however, that upon surrender of such Integrity Stock certificate (or compliance with Section 1.7(b) of this Agreement), the FNB Stock certificate, together
with all undelivered dividends or other distributions (without interest) and any cash payments to be paid for fractional share interests (without interest), shall be delivered and paid with respect to each share represented by such Integrity Stock
certificate. 
  
 1.8 Treatment of Integrity Stock
Options. (a) At the Effective Time, FNB shall assume each option to purchase Integrity Stock granted and outstanding under the Integrity Financial Corporation 1996 Incentive Stock Option Plan, as amended, the Integrity Financial
Corporation 1997 Nonqualified Stock Option Plan, the FGB 1999 Incentive Stock Option Plan, the FGB 1999 Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan, the FGB Stock Option Plan or the Integrity Financial Corporation 1993 Stock Option Plan (collectively, the
“Integrity Option Plan”), whether or not then exercisable, in accordance with the terms of the Integrity Option Plan and stock option agreement by which it is evidenced, except that from and after the Effective Time with respect to each
such plan or agreement: (i) FNB shall be substituted for Integrity; (ii) the compensation committee of the FNB Board of Directors shall be substituted for the compensation committee of the Integrity Board of Directors administering the
Integrity Option Plan; (iii) each stock option granted and outstanding under the Integrity Option Plan may be exercised solely for shares of FNB Stock; (iv) the number of shares of FNB Stock subject to each such stock option shall be the
number of whole shares of FNB Stock (omitting any fractional share) determined by multiplying the number of shares of Integrity Stock subject to such stock option immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Exchange Ratio; and (v) the per
share exercise price under each such stock option shall be adjusted by dividing the per share exercise price under each such stock option by the Exchange Ratio and rounding up to the nearest cent. In addition, each stock option which is an
“incentive stock option” under the Integrity Option Plan shall be adjusted as required by Section 424 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the regulations promulgated thereunder so as to
continue as an incentive stock option under Section 424(a) of the Code, and so as not to constitute a modification, extension, or renewal of the option, within the meaning of Section 424(h) of the Code. FNB and Integrity shall take all
necessary steps to effectuate the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.8, including appropriate amendments to the Integrity Option Plan if necessary. 
  
 (b) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, FNB shall deliver to each of the participants in the Integrity Option Plan an appropriate notice
setting forth such participant’s rights pursuant thereto, and the grants pursuant to the Integrity Option Plan shall continue in 
  

 5 

 effect on the same terms and conditions (subject to the adjustments required by Section 1.8(a) after giving effect
to the Merger). At or prior to the Effective Time, FNB shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance sufficient shares of FNB Stock for delivery upon exercise of the stock options assumed by it in accordance with this
Section 1.8. Integrity hereby represents that the Integrity Option Plan in its current form complies with Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), as in effect as of the date
hereof. 
  
 (c) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time,
FNB will use its best efforts to cause the shares subject to options granted under the Integrity Option Plan prior to the Effective Time (or any substitute options) to be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933
Act”), on a Form S-8 (or equivalent successor form) registration statement. 
  
 1.9 Closing. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Schell Bray Aycock Abel & Livingston P.L.L.C. in
Greensboro, North Carolina, or at such other place as FNB shall designate, on a date mutually agreeable to Integrity and FNB (the “Closing Date”) after the expiration of any and all required waiting periods following the effective date of
all required approvals of the Merger by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve Board”), the North Carolina Commissioner of Banks (the “Commissioner”) and any other governmental or regulatory
authorities (as soon as practicable, but in no event to be more than 60 days following the expiration of all such required waiting periods). At the Closing, FNB and Integrity shall take such actions (including, without limitation, the delivery of
certain closing documents and the execution of Articles of Merger under North Carolina law) as are required herein and as otherwise shall be required by law to consummate the Merger and cause it to become effective. 
  
 1.10 Effective Time. Subject to satisfaction or waiver of all
conditions precedent set forth in this Agreement, the Merger shall become effective (the “Effective Time”) on the date and at the time on which Articles of Merger containing the Plan of Merger and the other provisions required by, and
executed in accordance with applicable North Carolina and applicable federal law shall have been accepted for filing by the Secretary of State of the State of North Carolina (or such later time as may be specified in the Articles of Merger);
provided, however, that unless otherwise mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto, the Effective Time shall in no event be more than ten days following the Closing Date. 
  
 1.11 Further Assurances. If at any time after the Effective Time FNB shall consider or be advised that any
further deeds, assignments or assurances in law or any other actions are necessary, desirable or proper to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise, in the Surviving Corporation, the title to any property or rights of Integrity acquired or to
be acquired by reason of, or as a result of, the Merger, Integrity, its subsidiaries and their officers and directors shall execute and deliver all such proper deeds, assignments and assurances in law and do all things necessary, desirable or proper
to vest, perfect or confirm title to such property or rights in FNB and otherwise to carry out the purpose of this Agreement, and the officers and directors of FNB are fully authorized and directed in the name of Integrity or otherwise to take any
and all such actions.

transactions described herein, nor compliance by Integrity with any of its obligations or agreements contained herein, will: (i) conflict with or result in a breach of the terms and conditions of, or constitute a default or violation under any
provision of, the Articles of Incorporation or bylaws or the equivalent organizational documents of Integrity or any subsidiary, or any material contract, agreement, lease, mortgage, note, bond, indenture, license, or obligation or understanding

 2.7 Books and Records. The books of account of each of Integrity and its subsidiaries have been fully,
properly and accurately maintained in material compliance with all applicable legal and accounting requirements and in accordance with good business practices, and such books of account are complete and reflect accurately in all material respects
Integrity’s and its subsidiaries’, respectively, items of income and expense and all of its assets, liabilities and shareholders’ equity and reflect in all material respects all dealings and transactions in respect of the business,
assets, liabilities and affairs of Integrity and its subsidiaries. The minute books of each of Integrity and its subsidiaries accurately reflect in all material respects the corporate actions which its respective shareholders and board of directors,

 9 

 (ii) the FDIC, (iii) the Commissioner and (iv) any other governmental or regulatory authorities having
jurisdiction over Integrity or its subsidiaries except to the extent that failure to file such reports, registrations and statements would not have a Material Adverse Effect on Integrity and its subsidiaries. All such reports, registrations and

requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act, and (ii) did not at the time they were filed (or if amended or superseded by a filing prior to the date of this Agreement, then on the date of such filing) contain any untrue statement of a

any subsidiary has received any indication of the pendency of any audit or examination in connection with any such tax return or report or has any knowledge that any such return or report is subject to adjustment; (iv) neither Integrity nor any
subsidiary has executed any waiver or extended the statute of limitations (or been asked to execute a waiver or extend a statute of limitations) with respect to any tax; (v) no closing agreements, private letter rulings, technical advice
memoranda or similar agreements or rulings have been entered into or issued by any governmental authority with respect to Integrity and its subsidiaries; (vi) neither Integrity nor any of its subsidiaries maintains any compensation plans,
programs or arrangements the payments under which would not reasonably be expected to be deductible as a result of the limitations under Section 162(m) of the Code and the regulations issued thereunder; (vii) neither Integrity nor any of
its subsidiaries (A) has agreed, or is required, to make any adjustment under Section 481(a) of the Code or any comparable provision of state, local or foreign law or has any knowledge that a governmental authority has proposed any such

Integrity nor any of its subsidiaries is required to include any item of income in, or exclude any item of deduction or loss from, taxable income for any taxable period or portion thereof beginning on or after the Closing Date as a result of
(A) a change in method of accounting for a taxable period beginning prior to the Closing Date, (B) any “closing agreement,” as described in Section 71 of the Code, or any corresponding provision of state, local or foreign

 2.11 Absence of Material Adverse Changes or Certain Other
Events. 
  
 (a) Since December 31, 2004,
Integrity and each of its subsidiaries has conducted its respective business only in the ordinary course, and there has been no Material Adverse Effect, and there has occurred no event or development and there currently exists no condition or
circumstance which, with the lapse of time or otherwise, may or could cause, create or result in a Material Adverse Effect, on Integrity and its subsidiaries. 
  

 11 

 (b) Since December 31, 2004, and other than in the ordinary course of its business, neither
Integrity nor any subsidiary has incurred any material liability or engaged in any material transaction or entered into any material agreement, increased the salaries, compensation or general benefits payable to its employees, suffered any loss,
destruction or damage to any of its respective properties or assets, or made a material acquisition or disposition of any assets or entered into any material contract or lease. For purposes of this Section 2.11(b), “material” means
material to Integrity and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise. 
  
 2.12 Absence of Undisclosed Liabilities. Neither Integrity nor any subsidiary has any liabilities or obligations, whether known or unknown, matured or unmatured, accrued, absolute, contingent or
otherwise, whether due or to become due (including, without limitation, tax liabilities or unfunded liabilities under employee benefit plans or arrangements), other than (i) those reflected in the Integrity Financial Statements, or
(ii) obligations or liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of its business since December 31, 2004 and which are not, individually or in the aggregate, material to Integrity and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise. No facts
or circumstances exist that could reasonably be expected to serve as the basis for any other liabilities of Integrity or any subsidiary. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no agreement pursuant to which any loans or other assets have
been or shall be sold by Integrity or any of its subsidiaries entitled the buyer of such loans or other assets, unless there is material breach of a representation or covenant by Integrity or its subsidiaries, to cause Integrity or its subsidiaries
to repurchase such loan or other asset or the buyer to pursue any other form of recourse against Integrity or its subsidiaries. To the best knowledge and belief of management of Integrity, there has been no material breach of a representation or
covenant by Integrity or its subsidiaries in any such agreement. 
  
 2.13 Litigation and Compliance with Law. 
  
 (a) There are no actions, suits, arbitrations, controversies or other proceedings or investigations (or, to the best knowledge and belief of management of Integrity, any facts or circumstances which reasonably could result in such),
including, without limitation, any such action by any governmental or regulatory authority, which currently exist or are ongoing, pending or, to the best knowledge and belief of management of Integrity, threatened, contemplated or probable of
assertion, against, relating to or otherwise affecting Integrity, any subsidiary or any of their respective properties, assets or employees which, if determined adversely, could result in liability on the part of Integrity or any subsidiary for, or
subject Integrity or any subsidiary to, material monetary damages, fines or penalties or an injunction, or which could have a Material Adverse Effect on Integrity and its subsidiaries or on Integrity’s ability to consummate the Merger.

  
 (b) Except for such licenses, permits, orders,
authorizations or approvals (“Permits”) the absence of which would not have a Material Adverse Effect on Integrity or its subsidiaries, each of Integrity and its subsidiaries has all Permits of any federal, state, local or foreign
governmental or regulatory body that are material to or necessary for the conduct of its respective business or to own, lease and operate its respective properties. Except as would not have a Material Adverse Effect on Integrity and its
subsidiaries, all such Permits are in full force and effect and no violations are or have been recorded in respect of any such Permits. No proceeding is pending or, to the best knowledge and belief of management of Integrity, threatened or probable
of assertion to suspend, cancel, revoke or limit any Permit. 
  

 12 

 (c) Except as Previously Disclosed to FNB, neither Integrity nor any subsidiary is subject to any
supervisory agreement, enforcement order, writ, injunction, capital directive, supervisory directive, memorandum of understanding or other similar agreement, order, directive, memorandum or consent of, with or issued by any regulatory or other
governmental authority (including, without limitation, the Federal Reserve Board, the FDIC or the Commissioner) relating to its financial condition, directors or officers, employees, operations, capital, regulatory compliance or otherwise; there are
no judgments, orders, stipulations, injunctions, decrees or awards against Integrity or any subsidiary that in any manner limit, restrict, regulate, enjoin or prohibit any present or past business or practice of Integrity or any subsidiary; and
neither Integrity nor any subsidiary has been advised or has any reason to believe that any regulatory or other governmental authority or any court is contemplating, threatening or requesting the issuance of any such agreement, order, injunction,
directive, memorandum, judgment, stipulation, decree or award. 
  
 (d) Neither Integrity nor any subsidiary is in violation or default under, and each has complied with, all laws, statutes, ordinances, rules, regulations, orders, writs, injunctions or decrees of any court or federal, state,
municipal or other governmental or regulatory authority having jurisdiction or authority over it or its business operations, properties or assets (including, without limitation, all provisions of North Carolina law relating to usury, the Consumer
Credit Protection Act, and all other laws and regulations applicable to extensions of credit) except for any such violation, default or noncompliance as does not or would not have a Material Adverse Effect on Integrity and its subsidiaries, and, to
the best knowledge and belief of management of Integrity, there is no basis for any claim by any person or authority for compensation, reimbursement or damages or otherwise for any violation of any of the foregoing. 
  
 2.14 Real Properties. Integrity has Previously Disclosed to FNB
a listing of all real property owned or leased by Integrity or any subsidiary (the “Real Property”) and all leases pertaining to any such Real Property to which Integrity or any subsidiary is a party (the “Real Property Leases”).
With respect to all Real Property, Integrity or any subsidiary has good and marketable fee simple title to, or a valid and subsisting leasehold interest in, such Real Property and owns the same free and clear of all mortgages, liens, leases,
encumbrances, title defects and exceptions to title other than (i) the lien of current taxes not yet due and payable, and (ii) such imperfections of title and restrictions, covenants and easements (including utility easements) which do not
materially affect the value of the Real Property and which do not and will not materially detract from, interfere with or restrict the present or future use of the properties subject thereto or affected thereby. With respect to each Real Property
Lease (i) such lease is valid and enforceable in accordance with its terms, (ii) there currently exists no circumstance or condition which constitutes an event of default by Integrity or any subsidiary (as lessor or lessee) or its
respective lessor or which, with the passage of time or the giving of required notices will or could constitute such an event of default, and (iii) subject to any required consent of Integrity’s lessor, each such Real Property Lease may be
assigned to FNB and the execution and delivery of this Agreement does not constitute an event of default thereunder. The Real Property complies with all applicable federal, state and local laws, regulations, ordinances or orders of any governmental
authority, including those relating to zoning, building and use permits, except for 
  

 13 

 such noncompliance as does not or would not have a Material Adverse Effect on Integrity and its subsidiaries, and the
Real Property may be used under applicable zoning ordinances for commercial banking facilities as a matter of right rather than as a conditional or nonconforming use. All improvements and fixtures included in or on the Real Property are in good
condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and there does not exist any condition which materially adversely affects the economic value thereof or materially adversely interferes (or will interfere after the Merger) with the contemplated
use thereof. 
  
 2.15 Loans, Accounts, Notes and Other
Receivables. 
  
 (a) All loans, accounts, notes
and other receivables reflected as assets on the books and records of Integrity and its subsidiaries (i) have resulted from bona fide business transactions in the ordinary course of operations of Integrity and its subsidiaries, (ii) were
made in accordance with the standard loan policies and procedures of Integrity and its subsidiaries, and (iii) are owned by Integrity or a subsidiary free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, assignments, participation or repurchase agreements
or other exceptions to title or to the ownership or collection rights of any other person or entity. 
  
 (b) All of the records of Integrity and its subsidiaries regarding all outstanding loans, accounts, notes and other receivables, and all other real
estate owned, are accurate in all material respects, and, with respect to such loans the loan documentation of which indicate are secured by any real or personal property or property rights (“Loan Collateral”), such loans are in all
material respects secured by valid, perfected and enforceable liens on all such Loan Collateral having the priority described in the records of such loan. Neither Integrity nor any subsidiary has engaged in any form of indirect lending and no such
indirect loans are outstanding. 
  
 (c) To the best
knowledge and belief of management of Integrity, each loan reflected as an asset on the books of Integrity and its subsidiaries and each guaranty therefor, is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the obligor or guarantor thereon, and no
defense, offset or counterclaim has been asserted with respect to any such loan or guaranty. 
  
 (d) Integrity has Previously Disclosed to FNB (i) a written listing of each loan, extension of credit or other asset of Integrity or any subsidiary which, as of December 31, 2004, is classified by the
FDIC or the Commissioner as “Loss,” “Doubtful,” “Substandard” or “Special Mention” (or otherwise by words of similar import), or which it has designated as a special asset or for special handling or placed on
any “watch list” because of concerns regarding the ultimate collectibility or deteriorating condition of such asset or any obligor or Loan Collateral therefor, and (ii) a written listing of each loan or extension of credit that, as of
December 31, 2004, was past due as to the payment of principal or interest or both, or as to which any obligor thereon (including the borrower or any guarantor) otherwise was in default, is the subject of a proceeding in bankruptcy or otherwise
has indicated any inability or intention not to repay such loan or extension of credit. Each such listing is accurate and complete in all material respects as of the date indicated. 
  
 (e) As of December 31, 2004, Integrity’s, or any subsidiary’s, reserve for possible loan losses (the
“Loan Loss Reserve”) has been established in conformity with GAAP, sound banking practices and all applicable requirements, rules and policies of the FDIC and the 
  

 14 

 Commissioner and, in the best judgment of management of Integrity, (i) is reasonable in view of the size and
character of its loan portfolio, current economic conditions and other relevant factors, and (ii) is adequate to provide for losses relating to or the risk of loss inherent in its loan portfolio. At December 31, 2004, Integrity’s Loan
Loss Reserve was $10,416,195 and at June 30, 2005, Integrity’s Loan Loss Reserve was $8,099,563. 
  
 2.16 Securities Portfolio and Investments; Risk Management Instruments. Except as Previously Disclosed, all securities owned by Integrity or
any subsidiary (whether owned of record or beneficially) are held free and clear of all mortgages, liens, pledges, encumbrances or any other restriction or rights of any other person or entity, whether contractual or statutory, which would
materially impair the ability of Integrity or any subsidiary to dispose freely of any such security or otherwise to realize the benefits of ownership thereof at any time. There are no voting trusts or other agreements or undertakings to which
Integrity or any subsidiary is a party with respect to the voting of any such securities. With respect to all “repurchase agreements” to which Integrity or any subsidiary has “purchased” securities under agreement to resell,
Integrity or such subsidiary has a valid, perfected first lien or security interest in the government securities or other collateral securing the repurchase agreement, and the value of the collateral securing each such repurchase agreement equals or
exceeds the amount of the debt owed that is secured by such collateral. Except for fluctuations in the market values of its investment securities, since December 31, 2004, there has been no significant deterioration or material adverse change
in the quality, or any material decrease in the value, of Integrity’s securities portfolio as a whole. Neither Integrity nor any of its subsidiaries is a party or has agreed to enter into an exchange trade or over-the-counter equity, interest
rate, foreign exchange or other swap, forward, future, option, cap, floor or collar or any other contract that is not included on Integrity’s consolidated statement of financial condition and is a derivatives contract (including various
combinations thereof) nor does Integrity or any of its subsidiaries own securities that (i) are referred to generically as “structured notes,” “high risk mortgage derivatives,” “capped floating rate notes” or
“capped floating rate mortgage derivatives” or (ii) are likely to have changes in value as a result of interest or exchange rate changes that significantly exceed normal changes in value attributable to interest or exchange rate
changes. 
  
 2.17 Personal Property and Other
Assets. All tangible personal property of Integrity or any subsidiary material to the business operations of Integrity and such subsidiary (including, without limitation, all banking equipment, data processing equipment, vehicles, and all
other tangible personal property located in any office of or used by Integrity or such subsidiary in the operation of its business) is owned or leased by Integrity or such subsidiary free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, leases, title defects
or exceptions to title other than such as are not material in character, amount or extent, and which do not materially detract from the value of, or interfere with the present or future use or ability to convey, the property subject thereto or
affected thereby. All of Integrity or any subsidiary’s tangible personal property material to its business is in good operating condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear excepted. 
  
 2.18 Patents and Trademarks. Integrity and its subsidiaries own, possess or have the right to use any and all
patents, licenses, trademarks, trade names, copyrights, trade secrets and proprietary and other confidential information necessary to conduct their business as now conducted; and neither Integrity nor any subsidiary has violated, and currently is
not in conflict with, any patent, license, trademark, trade name, copyright or proprietary right of any other person or entity.

 (a) Integrity has Previously Disclosed to FNB copies of all written reports, correspondence, notices or other
materials, if any, in its or any subsidiary’s possession pertaining to environmental surveys or assessments of the Real Property or any of its Loan Collateral and any improvements thereon, or to any violation of “Environmental Laws”
(as defined below) on, affecting or otherwise involving the Real Property or any Loan Collateral. 
  
 (b) There has been no presence, use, production, generation, handling, transportation, treatment, storage, disposal, distribution, labeling,

relating to health, safety or the environment or imposing liability, responsibility or standards of conduct applicable to environmental conditions, and there has been no violation of any Environmental Laws (as defined in Section 2.19(f) below)
(including, to the best knowledge and belief of management of Integrity, any violation with respect to or relating to any Loan Collateral) by any other person or entity for whose liability or obligation with respect to any particular matter or
violation Integrity or any subsidiary is or may be responsible or liable, except to the extent any violations of which, when taken as a whole, would not have a Material Adverse Effect on Integrity or its subsidiaries. 
  
 (d) Neither Integrity nor any subsidiary is subject to any claims,
demands, causes of action, suits, proceedings, losses, damages, penalties, liabilities, obligations, costs or expenses of any kind and nature which arise out of, under or in connection with, or which result from or are based upon the presence, use,
production, generation, handling, transportation, treatment, storage, disposal, distribution, labeling, reporting, testing, processing, emission, discharge, release, threatened release, control, removal, clean-up or remediation of any Hazardous
Substances on, from or relating to the Real Property or, to the best knowledge and belief of management of Integrity, any Loan Collateral by any person or entity. 
  
 (e) No facts, events or conditions relating to the Real Property or, to the best knowledge and belief of management
of Integrity, any Loan Collateral, or the operations of Integrity or any subsidiary, will prevent, hinder or limit continued compliance with Environmental Laws, or give rise to any investigatory, emergency removal, remedial or corrective actions,
obligations or liabilities (whether accrued, absolute, contingent, unliquidated or otherwise) pursuant to Environmental Laws. 
  
 (f) For purposes of this Agreement, “Environmental Laws” shall include: 
  
 (i) all federal, state and local statutes, regulations, ordinances, orders, decrees, and similar

(“McColl Partners”), directly with FNB or its representatives. No person or firm other than McColl Partners has been retained by or has acted on behalf of, pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding with, or under the
authority of, Integrity or its Board of Directors, as a broker, finder or agent or has performed similar functions or otherwise is or may be entitled to receive or claim a brokerage fee or other commission in connection with or as a result of the

 2.21 Material
Contracts.

time or giving of notice or both would constitute such a default, under any contract, lease, insurance policy, commitment or arrangement to which it is a party or by which it or its property is or may be bound or affected or under which it or its
property receives benefits. 
  
 2.22 Employment Matters;

its subsidiaries (i) has paid in full to or accrued on behalf of all its respective directors, officers and employees all wages, salaries, commissions, bonuses, fees and other direct compensation for all labor or services rendered, including
all wages, salaries, commissions, bonuses, fees and other direct compensation for all labor or services performed by them to the date of this Agreement and all vacation pay, sick pay, severance pay and other amounts promised to the extent required

 2.23 Employment Agreements; Employee Benefit Plans. 
  
 (a) Integrity has Previously Disclosed to FNB a true and complete
list of all bonus, deferred compensation, pension, retirement, profit-sharing, thrift, savings, employee stock ownership, stock bonus, stock purchase, restricted stock and stock option plans; all employment and severance contracts; all medical,
dental, health, and life insurance plans; all vacation, sickness and other leave plans, disability and death benefit plans; and all other employee benefit plans, contracts, or arrangements maintained or contributed to by Integrity or any subsidiary
for the benefit of any employees, former employees, directors, former directors or any of their beneficiaries (collectively, the “Plans”). True and complete copies of all Plans, including, but not limited to, any trust instruments or
insurance contracts, if any, forming a part thereof, and all amendments thereto, previously have been supplied to FNB. Neither Integrity nor any subsidiary maintains, sponsors, contributes to or otherwise participates in any “Employee Benefit
Plan” within the meaning of Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), any “Multiemployer Plan” within the meaning of Section 3(37) of ERISA, or any “Multiple
Employer Welfare Arrangement” within the meaning of Section 3(40) of ERISA. Each Plan that is an “employee pension benefit plan” within the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA and which is intended to be qualified under
Section 401(a) of the Code, has received or applied for a favorable determination letter from the IRS and Integrity is not aware of any circumstances reasonably likely to result in the revocation or denial of any such favorable determination
letter. All reports and returns with respect to the Plans (and any Plans previously maintained by Integrity or any subsidiary) required to be filed with any governmental department, agency, service or other authority, including, without limitation,
Internal Revenue Service Form 5500 (Annual Report), have been properly and timely filed. 
  
 (b) All “Employee Benefit Plans” maintained by or otherwise covering employees or former employees of Integrity or any subsidiary currently are, and at all times have been, in compliance with all
provisions and requirements of ERISA except those the noncompliance of which, when taken as a whole, would not have a Material Adverse Effect on Integrity or its subsidiaries. There is no pending or threatened litigation relating to any Plan or any
such Plan previously maintained by Integrity or any subsidiary. Neither Integrity nor any subsidiary has engaged in a transaction with respect to any Plan that has subjected it, or absent the exemption under which the transaction was effected, would
subject it to a tax or penalty imposed by either Section 4975 of the Code or Section 502(i) of ERISA. 
  
 (c) Integrity has delivered to FNB a true, correct and complete copy (including copies of all amendments thereto) of each of its retirement plans
that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code (collectively, the “Retirement Plans”), together with true, correct and complete copies of the summary plan descriptions relating to the Retirement Plans, the most
recent determination letters received from the IRS regarding the Retirement Plans, and the most recent Annual Reports (Form 5500 series) and related schedules, if any, for the Retirement Plans. The Retirement Plans are qualified under the provisions
of Section 401(a) of the Code, the trusts under the Retirement Plans are exempt trusts under Section 501(a) of the Code, and determination letters have been issued or applied for with respect to the Retirement Plans to said effect,
including determination letters covering the current terms and provisions of the Retirement Plans. There are no issues relating to said qualification or exemption of the Retirement Plans currently pending before the IRS, the United States Department
of Labor, the 
  

 19 

 Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation or any court. The Retirement Plans and the administration thereof meet (and have met
since the establishment of the Retirement Plans) the requirements of ERISA, the Code and all other laws, rules and regulations applicable to the Retirement Plans and do not violate (and since the establishment of the Retirement Plans have not
violated) any of the provisions of ERISA, the Code and such other laws, rules and regulations, except to the extent such violation, when taken as a whole, would not have a Material Adverse Effect on Integrity or its subsidiaries. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, all reports and returns with respect to the Retirement Plans required to be filed with any governmental department, agency, service or other authority have been properly and timely filed. There are no disputes or
unresolved disagreements with respect to the Retirement Plans or the administration thereof currently existing between Integrity, any subsidiary or any trustee or other fiduciary thereunder, and any governmental agency, any current or former
employee of Integrity, any subsidiary or beneficiary of any such employee or any other person or entity. No “reportable event” within the meaning of Section 4043(b) of ERISA has occurred at any time with respect to the Retirement
Plans, other than those, when taken as a whole, that would not have a Material Adverse Effect on Integrity or its subsidiaries. 
  
 (d) No liability under subtitle C or D of Title IV of ERISA has been or is expected to be incurred by Integrity or any subsidiary with respect to
the Retirement Plans or with respect to any other ongoing, frozen or terminated defined benefit pension plan currently or formerly maintained by Integrity or any subsidiary. Neither Integrity nor any subsidiary has ever contributed to a
“Multiemployer Plan.” All contributions required to be made pursuant to the terms of each of the Plans (including without limitation the Retirement Plans and any other “pension plan” (as defined in Section 3(2) of ERISA,
provided such plan is intended to qualify under the provisions of Section 401(a) of the Code) maintained by Integrity or any subsidiary has been timely made. Neither the Retirement Plans nor any other “pension plan” maintained by
Integrity or any subsidiary has an “accumulated funding deficiency” (whether or not waived) within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA. Neither Integrity nor any subsidiary has provided, and is not
required to provide, security to any “pension plan” or to any “Single Employer Plan” pursuant to Section 401(a)(29) of the Code. Under the Retirement Plans and any other “pension plan” maintained by Integrity or
any subsidiary as of the last day of the most recent plan year ended prior to the date hereof, the actuarially determined present value of all “benefit liabilities,” within the meaning of Section 4001(a)(16) of ERISA (as determined on
the basis of the actuarial assumptions contained in the plan’s most recent actuarial valuation) did not exceed the then current value of the assets of such plan, and there has been no material change in the financial condition of any such plan
since the last day of the most recent plan year. 
  
 (e)
None of the execution of this Agreement, shareholder approval of this Agreement or consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, except as Previously Disclosed to FNB, (i) entitle any employees of Integrity or any of its
subsidiaries to severance pay or any increase in severance pay upon any termination of employment after the date hereof, (ii) accelerate the time of payment or vesting or trigger any payment or funding, through a grantor trust or otherwise, of
compensation or benefits under, increase the amount payable or trigger any other material obligation pursuant to, any plan or agreement, (iii) result in any breach or violation of, or a default under, any plan or agreement; (iv) result in
any payment that would be a “parachute payment” to a “disqualified individual” as those terms are defined in Section 280G of the Code, without regard to whether such payment is reasonable compensation for 
  

 20 

 personal services performed or to be performed in the future, (v) result in any payment to any person (including,
without limitation, any severance compensation or payment, unemployment compensation, “golden parachute” or “change in control” payment, or otherwise) becoming due under any plan or agreement to any director, officer, employee or
consultant, (vi) increase any benefits otherwise payable under any plan or agreement, or (vii) result in any acceleration of the time of payment or vesting of any such benefit. 
  
 2.24 Insurance. Integrity has in effect a “financial institutions bond” and such other policies of
general liability, casualty, directors and officers liability, employee fidelity, errors and omissions and other property and liability insurance as have been Previously Disclosed to FNB (the “Policies”). The Policies provide coverage in

governmental or regulatory authority, which currently exist or are ongoing, pending or, to the best knowledge and belief of management of FNB, threatened, contemplated or probable of assertion, against, relating to or otherwise affecting FNB, its
subsidiaries or any of their respective properties, assets or employees which, if determined adversely, could result in liability on the part of FNB or its subsidiaries for, or subject FNB or its subsidiary to, material monetary damages, fines or
penalties or an injunction, or which could have a Material Adverse Effect on FNB and its subsidiaries or on FNB’s ability to consummate the Merger.

any public announcement, statement or disclosure as to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or the transactions described herein, except for such disclosures as may be required incidental to obtaining the prior approval of any regulatory
agency or official to the consummation of the transactions described herein. However, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, prior review and consent shall not be required if in the good faith opinion of counsel to FNB or
Integrity any such disclosure by FNB or Integrity, as the case may be, is required by law or otherwise is prudent. 
  
 6.6 Confidentiality. FNB and Integrity each shall treat as confidential and not disclose to any unauthorized person any documents or other
information obtained from or learned about the other during the course of the negotiation of this Agreement and the carrying out of the events and transactions described herein (including any information obtained during the course of any due
diligence investigation or review provided for herein or otherwise) and which documents or other information relates in any way to the business, operations, personnel, customers or financial condition of such other party; and that it will not use
any such documents or other information for any purpose except for the purposes for which such documents and information were provided to it and in furtherance of the transactions described herein. However, the above obligations of confidentiality
shall not prohibit the disclosure of any such document or information by any party to this Agreement to the extent (i) such document or information is then available generally to the public or is already known to the person or entity to whom
disclosure is proposed to be made (other than through the previous actions of such party in violation of this Section 6.6), (ii) such document or information was available to the disclosing party on a nonconfidential basis prior to the
same being obtained pursuant to this Agreement, (iii) disclosure is required by subpoena or order of a court or regulatory authority of competent jurisdiction, or by the SEC or other regulatory authorities in connection with the transactions

immediately shall return to the other party all copies of any and all documents or other written materials or information (including computer generated and stored data) of or relating to such other party which were obtained from them during the
course of the negotiation of this Agreement and the carrying out of the events and transactions described herein (whether during the course of any due diligence investigation or review provided for herein or otherwise) and which documents or other
information relates in any way to the business, operations, personnel, customers or financial condition of such other party. The parties’ obligations of confidentiality under this Section 6.6 shall survive and remain in effect following
any termination of this Agreement. 
  
 6.7 Environmental
Studies. At its option, FNB may cause to be conducted Phase I environmental assessments of the Real Property, the real estate subject to any Real Property Lease, or the Loan Collateral, or any portion thereof, together with such other
studies, testing and 
  

 45 

 intrusive sampling and analyses as FNB shall deem necessary or desirable (collectively, the “Environmental
Survey”); provided, however, that the Environmental Survey, as much as possible, shall be performed in such a manner as will not interfere unreasonably with Integrity’s normal operations, and provided further, however, that Integrity shall
use its best efforts to obtain any required consents of third parties to permit any Environmental Survey of any Loan Collateral. FNB shall attempt in good faith to complete all such Phase I environmental assessments within 60 days following the date
of this Agreement and thereafter to conduct and complete any such additional studies, testing, sampling and analyses as promptly as practicable. Subject to the provisions of Section 8.3(c) below, the costs of the Environmental Survey shall be
paid by FNB. If (i) the final results of any Environmental Survey (or any related analytical data) reflect that there likely has been any discharge, disposal, release or emission by any person of any Hazardous Substance on, from or relating to
any of the Real Property, real estate subject to a Real Property Lease or Loan Collateral at any time prior to the Effective Time, or that any action has been taken or not taken, or a condition or event likely has occurred or exists, with respect to
any of the Real Property, real estate subject to a Real Property Lease or Loan Collateral which constitutes or would constitute a violation of any Environmental Laws, and if, (ii) based on the advice of its legal counsel or other consultants,
FNB believes that Integrity or, following the Merger, FNB, could become responsible for the remediation of such discharge, disposal, release or emission or for other corrective action with respect to any such violation, or that Integrity or,
following the Merger, FNB, could become liable for monetary damages (including without limitation any civil or criminal penalties or assessments) resulting therefrom (or that, in the case of any of the Loan Collateral, Integrity or, following the
Merger, FNB, could incur any such liability if it acquired title to such Loan Collateral), and if, (iii) based on the advice of their legal counsel or other consultants, FNB reasonably believes the amount of expenses or liability which either
of them could incur or for which either of them could become responsible or liable on account of any and all such remediation, corrective action or monetary damages at any time or over any period of time could equal or exceed an aggregate of
$250,000 over any period of time, then FNB shall give Integrity prompt written notice thereof (together with all information in its possession relating thereto) and, at FNB’s sole option and discretion, at any time thereafter and up to the
Effective Time, it may terminate this Agreement without further obligation or liability to Integrity or its shareholders. 
  
 6.8 Tax-Free Reorganization. FNB and Integrity shall each use its best efforts to cause the Merger to qualify as a tax-free
“reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(A) of the Code and shall not intentionally take any action that would cause the Merger to fail to so qualify. 
  
 6.9 Certain Modifications. FNB and Integrity shall consult with each other with respect to their loan,
litigation and real estate valuation policies and practices (including loan classifications and levels of reserves) and Integrity shall make such modifications or changes to its policies and practices, if any, prior to the Effective Time, as may be
mutually agreed upon. FNB and Integrity also shall consult with each other with respect to the character, amount and timing of restructuring and Merger-related expense charges to be taken by each of them in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and shall take such charges in accordance with GAAP as may be mutually agreed upon by them. The representations, warranties and covenants of each of FNB and Integrity contained in this Agreement shall not be deemed to
be inaccurate or breached in any respect as a consequence of any modifications or charges undertaken by reason of this Section 6.9. 
  

 46 

 6.10 Transition Team. FNB and Integrity shall create a transition team comprised of staff
and representatives of Integrity and staff and representatives of FNB (the “Transition Team”). The purpose of the Transition Team shall be to provide detailed guidance to FNB in fulfilling and consummating the Merger, to maintain open
lines of communication between Integrity and FNB, and to handle customer inquiries regarding the Merger. The Transition Team shall meet as necessary until the Effective Time. Members of the Transition Team shall receive no separate compensation for
such service.

 (i) if any of the conditions to the obligations of FNB (as set forth in Section 7.1 and 7.3 above) shall not have been satisfied or effectively waived in writing by FNB by May 31, 2006 (except to the extent that the failure

obligations, covenants or agreements contained in Article IV or Article VI herein in any material respect; 
  
 (iii) if FNB determines at any time that any of Integrity’s representations or warranties contained in Article II above or in
any other certificate or writing delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall have been false or misleading in any material respect when made, or that there has occurred any event or development or that there exists any condition or circumstance which
has caused or, with the lapse of time or otherwise, may or could cause any such representations or warranties to become false or misleading in any material respect; 
  
 (iv) if, notwithstanding FNB’s satisfaction of its obligations under Sections 5.8 and 6.1 above,
Integrity’s or FNB’s shareholders do not approve this Agreement and Plan of Merger at its shareholders’ meeting held for such purpose; 
  
 (v) if the Merger shall not have become effective on or before May 31, 2006 unless such date is extended as evidenced by the
written mutual agreement of the parties hereto; provided, however, that in the event there is a delay of not more than 30 days caused by circumstances beyond the control of the parties hereto, the dates set forth in this Section 8.2(a) shall be

Section 8.2(a), it shall give written notice to Integrity as provided herein stating its intent to terminate and a description of the specific breach, default, violation or other condition giving rise to its right to so terminate, and, such

cannot or does not cure such breach, default or violation or satisfy such condition to the reasonable satisfaction of FNB within such 30-day period, FNB shall have 30 days to notify Integrity of its intention to terminate this Agreement. A failure
to so notify Integrity will be deemed to be a waiver by FNB of the breach, default or violation pursuant to Section 10.2 below. 
  
 (b) Termination by Integrity. This Agreement may be terminated by Integrity by action of its Board of Directors: 
  
 (i) if any of the conditions of the obligations of
Integrity (as set forth in Section 7.1 and 7.2 above) shall not have been satisfied or effectively waived in writing by Integrity by May 31, 2006 (except to the extent that the failure of such condition to be satisfied has been caused by
the failure of Integrity to satisfy any of its obligations, covenants or agreements contained herein); 
  

 52 

 (ii) if FNB shall have violated or failed to fully perform any of its obligations,
covenants or agreements contained in Article V or Article VI herein in any material respect; 
  
 (iii) if Integrity determines that any of FNB’s representations and warranties contained in Article III herein or in any other
certificate or writing delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall have been false or misleading in any material respect when made, or that there has occurred any event or development or that there exists any condition or circumstance which has
caused or, with the lapse of time or otherwise, may or could cause any such representations or warranties to become false or misleading in any material respect; 
  
 (iv) if, notwithstanding Integrity’s satisfaction of its obligations contained in Sections 4.3
and 6.1 above, FNB’s or Integrity’s shareholders do not approve this Agreement and Plan of Merger at its shareholders’ meeting called for such purpose; 
  
 (v) if the Merger shall not have become effective on or before May 31, 2006, unless such date is
extended as evidenced by the written mutual agreement of the parties hereto; provided, however, that in the event there is a delay of not more than 30 days caused by circumstances beyond the control of the parties hereto, the dates set forth in this
Section 8.2(b) shall be extended by mutual agreement for up to an additional 60 days; or 
  
 (vi) At any time prior to the date of mailing of the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, by Integrity in order to enter concurrently
into an Acquisition Proposal that has been received by Integrity and the Integrity Board of Directors in compliance with Sections 4.4(a) and (b) and that Integrity’s Board of Directors concludes in good faith, in consultation with its
financial and legal advisors, is a Superior Proposal; provided, however, that this Agreement may be terminated by Integrity pursuant to this Section 8.2(b)(vi) only after the fifth Business Day following Integrity’s provision of written
notice to FNB advising FNB that the Integrity Board of Directors is prepared to accept a Superior Proposal and only if (x) during such five-Business Day period, Integrity has caused its financial and legal advisors to negotiate with FNB in good
faith to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement such that such Acquisition Proposal would no longer constitute a Superior Proposal, (y) Integrity’s Board of Directors has considered such adjustments in the
terms and conditions of this Agreement resulting from such negotiations and has concluded in good faith, based upon consultation with its financial and legal advisers, that such Acquisition Proposal remains a Superior Proposal even after giving
effect to the adjustments proposed by FNB and further provided that such termination shall not be effective until Integrity has paid the Break-up Fee to FNB. 
  

 53 

 However, before Integrity may terminate this Agreement for any of the reasons specified above in clause (i), (ii) or
(iii) of this Section 8.2(b), it shall give written notice to FNB as provided herein stating its intent to terminate and a description of the specific breach, default, violation or other condition giving rise to its right to so terminate,
and, such termination by Integrity shall not become effective if, within 30 days following the giving of such notice, FNB shall cure such breach, default or violation or satisfy such condition to the reasonable satisfaction of Integrity. In the
event FNB cannot or does not cure such breach, default or violation or satisfy such condition to the reasonable satisfaction of Integrity within such 30-day period, Integrity shall have 30 days to notify FNB of its intention to terminate this
Agreement. A failure to so notify FNB will be deemed to be a waiver by Integrity of the breach, default or violation pursuant to Section 10.2 below. 
  
 (c) Termination by Integrity or Increase in Exchange Ratio. This Agreement may be terminated by action of the Board of Directors of
Integrity if it determines by a vote of a majority of the members of its entire Board, at any time during the ten-day period commencing two days after the Determination Date (as defined below), that both of the following conditions are satisfied:

  
 (i) the Average Closing Price (as
defined below) shall be less than the product of 0.80 and the Starting Price (as defined below); and 
  
 (ii) the quotient obtained by dividing the Average Closing Price by the Starting Price (such number being referred to herein as the
“FNB Ratio”) shall be less than the “Index Ratio” (which shall mean the quotient obtained by dividing the Index Price on the Determination Date by the Index Price (as defined below) on the Starting Date (as defined below) and
subtracting 0.20 from the quotient in this parenthetical); subject, however, to the following three sentences. If Integrity desires to terminate the Merger pursuant to this Section 8.2(c), it shall give prompt written notice thereof to FNB;
provided that such notice of election to terminate may be withdrawn at any time within the aforementioned ten-day period. During the five-day period commencing with its receipt of such notice, FNB shall have the option to elect to increase the
Exchange Ratio to equal the lesser of (x) the quotient (rounded to the nearest one-ten-thousandth) obtained by dividing (A) the product of 0.80, the Starting Price, and Exchange Ratio (as then in effect) by (B) the Average Closing
Price, and (y) the quotient (rounded to the nearest one-ten-thousandth) obtained by dividing (A) the product of the Index Ratio and the Exchange Ratio (as then in effect) by (B) the FNB Ratio. If FNB makes an election contemplated by
the preceding sentence, within such five-day period, it shall give prompt written notice to Integrity of such election and the revised Exchange Ratio, whereupon no termination shall have occurred pursuant to this Section 8.2(c) and this
Agreement shall remain in effect in accordance with its terms (except as the Exchange Ratio shall have been so modified), and any references in this Agreement to “Exchange Ratio” shall thereafter be deemed to refer to the Exchange Ratio as
adjusted pursuant to this Section 8.2(c). 
  

 54 

 For purposes of this Section 8.2(c), the following terms shall have the meanings indicated:

  
 “Average Closing Price” shall mean the average of
the daily last sales prices of FNB Stock as reported on NASDAQ (as reported by The Wall Street Journal or, if not reported thereby, another authoritative source as chosen by FNB) for the twenty consecutive full trading days in which such
shares are traded on NASDAQ ending at the close of trading on the Determination Date. 
  
 “Determination Date” shall mean the later of the date on which both (i) the approval of the Federal Reserve Board of the Merger (without regard to any requisite waiting period thereof) shall have been
received and (ii) the shareholders of both Integrity and FNB shall have approved the Merger at their respective shareholders’ meetings. 
  
 “Index Price” on a given date shall mean the closing quoted index value of the companies comprising the NASDAQ Bank Index [IXBK]. 
  
 “Starting Date” shall mean September 16, 2005. 
  
 “Starting Price” shall mean the last sale price per share of FNB
Stock as reported on NASDAQ (as reported by The Wall Street Journal or, if not reported thereby, another authoritative source as chosen by FNB) on the Starting Date. 
  
 8.3 Breach; Remedies. 
  
 (a) Except as otherwise provided below or in Section 4.4, in the event of a breach by Integrity of any of its
representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or in any other certificate or writing delivered pursuant to this Agreement, or in the event of its failure to perform or violation of any of its obligations, agreements or covenants
contained in this Agreement, then FNB’s sole right and remedy shall be to terminate this Agreement prior to the Effective Time as provided in Section 8.2 above, or, in the case of a failure to perform or violation of any obligations,
agreements or covenants, to seek specific performance thereof. 
  
 (b) Likewise, and except as otherwise provided below, in the event of a breach by FNB of any of its representations or warranties contained in this Agreement, or in the event of its failure to perform or violation of any of its
obligations, agreements or covenants contained in this Agreement, then Integrity’s sole right and remedy shall be to terminate this Agreement prior to the Effective Time as provided in Section 8.2 above, or, in the case of a failure to
perform or violation of any obligations, agreements or covenants, to seek specific performance thereof. 
  
 (c) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if either party to this Agreement breaches this Agreement by willfully or
intentionally failing to perform or violating any of its obligations, agreements or covenants contained in this Agreement, such party shall be obligated to pay all expenses of the other party described in Section 6.4, together with other
damages recoverable at law or in equity.

 (iii) in connection with or which arise out of or
result from or are based upon any information provided by Integrity which is included in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and which information causes the Proxy Statement/Prospectus at the time of its mailing to Integrity’s and FNB’s
shareholders to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or to omit any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
false or misleading; and 
  
 (iv) in
connection with or which arise out of or result from or are based upon the presence, use, production, generation, handling, transportation, treatment, storage, disposal, distribution, labeling, reporting, testing, processing, emission, discharge,

a breach by FNB of, or any inaccuracy, incompleteness or inadequacy in, any of its representations or warranties under or in connection with this Agreement, or any failure of FNB to perform any of its covenants, agreements or obligations under or in
connection with this Agreement; and, 
  
 (iii)
in connection with or which arise out of or result from or are based upon any information provided by FNB which is included in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and which information causes the Proxy Statement/Prospectus at the time of its mailing
to FNB’s and Integrity’s shareholders to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or to omit any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements contained therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not false or misleading. 
  
 9.2 Procedure for Claiming Indemnification. 
  
 (a) By FNB. If any matter subject to indemnification hereunder arises in the form of a claim against FNB or its successors and assigns (herein referred to as a “Third Party Claim”), FNB promptly shall give notice and
details thereof, including copies of all pleadings and pertinent documents, to Integrity. Within 15 days of such notice, Integrity either (i) shall pay the Third Party Claim either in full or upon agreed compromise or (ii) shall notify FNB
that Integrity disputes the Third Party Claim and intends to defend against it, and thereafter shall so defend and pay any adverse final judgment or award in regard thereto. Such defense shall be controlled by Integrity and the cost of such defense
shall be borne by Integrity except that FNB shall have the right to participate in such defense at its own expense and provided that Integrity shall have no right in connection with any such defense or the resolution of any such Third Party Claim to
impose any cost, restriction, limitation or condition of any kind upon FNB or its successors or assigns. FNB agrees that it shall cooperate in all reasonable respects in the defense of any such Third Party Claim, including making personnel, books
and records relevant to the Third Party Claim available to Integrity without charge therefor except for out-of-pocket expenses. If Integrity fails to take action within 15 days as hereinabove provided or, having 
  

 57 

 taken such action, thereafter fails diligently to defend and resolve the Third Party Claim, FNB shall have the right to
pay, compromise or defend the Third Party Claim and to assert the indemnification provisions hereof. FNB also shall have the right, exercisable in good faith, to take such action as may be necessary to avoid a default prior to the assumption of the
defense of the Third Party Claim by Integrity. 
  
 (b) By
Integrity. If any matter subject to indemnification hereunder arises in the form of a claim against Integrity or its successors and assigns (herein referred to as a “Third Party Claim”), Integrity promptly shall give notice and
details thereof, including copies of all pleadings and pertinent documents, to FNB. Within 15 days of such notice, FNB either (i) shall pay the Third Party Claim either in full or upon agreed compromise or (ii) shall notify Integrity that
FNB disputes the Third Party Claim and intends to defend against it, and thereafter shall so defend and pay any adverse final judgment or award in regard thereto. Such defense shall be controlled by FNB and the cost of such defense shall be borne by
FNB except that Integrity shall have the right to participate in such defense at its own expense and provided that FNB shall have no right in connection with any such defense or the resolution of any such Third Party Claim to impose any cost,
restriction, limitation or condition of any kind upon Integrity or its successors and assigns. Integrity agrees that it shall cooperate in all reasonable respects in the defense of any such Third Party Claim, including making personnel, books and
records relevant to the Third Party Claim available to FNB without charge therefor except for out-of-pocket expenses. If FNB fails to take action within 15 days as hereinabove provided or, having taken such action, thereafter fails diligently to
defend and resolve the Third Party Claim, Integrity shall have the right to pay, compromise or defend the Third Party Claim and to assert the indemnification provisions hereof. Integrity also shall have the right, exercisable in good faith, to take
such action as may be necessary to avoid a default prior to the assumption of the defense of the Third Party Claim by FNB. 
  
 ARTICLE X. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 
  
 10.1 Reservation of Right to Revise Structure. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, FNB shall have the unilateral right to
revise the structure of the Merger to achieve the tax consequences described in Section 6.8 or for any other reason FNB may deem advisable; provided, however, that no such change will (i) alter or change the amount or kind of consideration
to be received by the shareholders of Integrity in the Merger or (ii) adversely affect the tax treatment to the shareholders of Integrity as a result of receiving such consideration. In the event of such election by FNB, the parties hereto
shall execute an appropriate amendment to this Agreement. 
  
 10.2 Survival of Representations, Warranties, Indemnification and Other Agreements. 
  
 (a) Representations, Warranties and Other Agreements. None of the representations, warranties or agreements herein shall survive the
effectiveness of the Merger, and no party shall have any right after the Effective Time to recover damages or any other relief from any other party to this Agreement by reason of any breach of representation or warranty, any nonfulfillment or
nonperformance of any agreement contained herein, or otherwise; 
  

 58 

 provided, however, that the parties’ agreements contained in Section 6.6 above and FNB’s covenants
contained in Sections 5.1 through 5.5 above shall survive the effectiveness of the Merger. 
  
 (b) Indemnification. The parties’ indemnification agreements and obligations pursuant to Section 9.1 above shall become effective only in the event this Agreement is terminated, and neither of
the parties shall have any obligations under Section 9.1 in the event of or following consummation of the Merger. 
  
 10.3 Waiver. Any term or condition of this Agreement may be waived (except as to matters of regulatory approvals and approvals required by
law), either in whole or in part, at any time by the party which is, and whose shareholders are, entitled to the benefits thereof, provided, however, that any such waiver shall be effective only upon a determination by the waiving party (through
action of its Board of Directors) that such waiver would not adversely affect the interests of the waiving party or its shareholders; and, provided further, that no waiver of any term or condition of this Agreement by any party shall be effective
unless such waiver is in writing and signed by the waiving party or as provided in Sections 8.2(a) and 8.2(b) above, or be construed to be a waiver of any succeeding breach of the same term or condition. No failure or delay of any party to exercise
any power, or to insist upon a strict compliance by any other party of any obligation, and no custom or practice at variance with any terms hereof, shall constitute a waiver of the right of any party to demand full and complete compliance with such
terms. 
  
 10.4 Amendment. This Agreement may be
amended, modified or supplemented at any time or from time to time prior to the Effective Time, and either before or after its approval by the shareholders of Integrity and FNB, by an agreement in writing approved by a majority of the Boards of
Directors of FNB and Integrity executed in the same manner as this Agreement; provided however, that the provisions of this Agreement relating to the manner or basis in which shares of Integrity Stock are converted into FNB Stock shall not be
amended after the approval of this Agreement and Plan of Merger by the shareholders of Integrity without the requisite approval of such shareholders of such amendment.

 SCHEDULE A 
 to Agreement and Plan of Merger 
 dated as of September 18, 2005 
  
 PLAN OF MERGER 
 OF 
 INTEGRITY FINANCIAL CORPORATION 
 WITH AND INTO 
 FNB CORP. 
  
 A. Parties to Merger. The parties to the proposed merger are Integrity
Financial Corporation, a North Carolina corporation (“Integrity”), and FNB Corp., a North Carolina corporation (“FNB”). 
  
 B. Nature of Transaction. Subject to the provisions of this Plan of Merger, Integrity shall be merged with and into FNB (the “Merger”)
with the effect provided in the North Carolina Business Corporation Act. 
  
 C. Surviving Corporation. FNB shall be the surviving corporation in the Merger. At the Effective Time (as hereinafter defined) of the Merger, the name of the surviving corporation shall be changed to FNB United
Corp. 
  
 D. Effective Time. The Merger shall be effective
on the date and at the time on which Articles of Merger containing this Plan of Merger and the other provisions required by, and executed in accordance with, applicable North Carolina and applicable federal law shall have been accepted for filing by
the Secretary of State of the State of North Carolina (or such later time as may be specified in the Articles of Merger) (the “Effective Time”). At the Effective Time, the separate corporate existence of Integrity shall cease and the
corporate existence of FNB shall continue with all of its purposes, objects, rights, privileges, powers and franchises, all of which shall be unaffected and unimpaired by the Merger. 
  
 E. Conversion and Exchange of Shares. 
  
 1. At the Effective Time, all rights of Integrity’s shareholders with respect to all then outstanding
shares of the common stock of Integrity, $1.00 par value per share (“Integrity Stock”) shall cease to exist, and the holders of Integrity Stock shall cease to be, and shall have no further rights as, shareholders of Integrity. At the
Effective Time, each such outstanding share of Integrity Stock (except for shares held, other than in a fiduciary capacity or as a result of debts previously contracted, by Integrity, FNB or any of their subsidiaries, which shall be canceled in the
Merger) shall be converted exclusively into the right to receive $5.20 in cash, without interest, and a number of shares of the common stock of FNB, par value $2.50 per share (the “FNB Stock”), equal to the product of 1.1209 (the
“Exchange Ratio”) and 0.78. The amount of cash into which shares of Integrity Stock shall be converted pursuant to this Plan of Merger is sometimes hereinafter referred to as “Cash Consideration,” and the number of shares of

 FNB Stock into which shares of Integrity Stock shall be converted pursuant to this Plan of Merger is
sometimes hereinafter referred to as “Stock Consideration.” The Cash Consideration and Stock Consideration are sometimes referred to herein collectively as the “Merger Consideration.” No share of Integrity Stock shall be deemed
to be outstanding or have any rights other than those set forth in this Section E.1 after the Effective Time. [The Exchange Ratio is subject to possible adjustment in accordance with Sections 1.5(c) and 8.2(c) of the Agreement and Plan of Merger,
dated as of September 18, 2005, by and between FNB and Integrity. If so adjusted, the adjusted Exchange Ratio shall be reflected in this Plan of Merger prior to filing with the Secretary of State of North Carolina.] 
  
 2. Each share of the FNB Stock issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger shall continue to be issued and outstanding and shall not be affected by the Merger. 
  
 3. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan of Merger, each holder of shares of Integrity Stock exchanged pursuant to the Merger
who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of FNB Stock (after taking into account all certificates delivered by such holder) shall receive, in lieu thereof, cash (without interest) in an amount equal to such fractional
part of a share of FNB Stock multiplied by the market value of one share of FNB Stock upon the Effective Time. The market value of one share of FNB Stock at the Effective Time shall be the last sale price of FNB Stock on Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc.
National Market System as reported by The Wall Street Journal or, if not reported thereby, any other authoritative source selected by FNB, on the last trading day preceding the Effective Time. No such holder will be entitled to dividends,
voting rights, or any other rights as a shareholder in respect of any fractional shares. 
  
 4. As of the Effective Time, FNB shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with Registrar and Transfer Company, in its capacity as
the transfer agent of FNB Stock (the “Exchange Agent”), for the benefit of each holder of Integrity Stock for exchange in accordance with this Plan of Merger, (i) certificates representing the aggregate number of whole shares of FNB
Stock to be issued as Stock Consideration, and (ii) the aggregate amount of cash to be delivered to holders of Integrity Stock as Cash Consideration and in lieu of any fractional shares, to be issued and paid pursuant to this Plan of Merger for
outstanding shares of Integrity Stock (such certificates for shares of FNB Stock and such cash are referred to as the “Exchange Fund”). The Exchange Agent shall, pursuant to irrevocable instructions in accordance with this Plan of Merger,
deliver the FNB Stock and cash contemplated to be issued with respect to Integrity Stock out of the Exchange Fund. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose. The Exchange Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund, as
directed by FNB, on a daily basis. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to FNB. 
  
 5. After the Effective Time, FNB shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to the shareholders of Integrity of record at the Effective Time
transmittal materials and other appropriate written instructions (collectively, a “Transmittal Letter”) (which shall 
  

 2 

 specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the certificate representing
shares of Integrity Stock prior to such Effective Time shall pass, only upon proper delivery of such certificates to the Exchange Agent and which shall be in such form and have such other provisions as FNB may reasonably specify). After the
Effective Time and upon the proper surrender of certificate(s) representing shares of Integrity Stock to the Exchange Agent, together with a properly completed and duly executed Transmittal Letter, the holder of such certificate(s) shall be entitled
to receive in exchange therefor the number of shares of FNB Stock and the cash to which such holder is entitled hereunder (including any cash payments to which such holder is entitled hereunder in respect of rights to receive fractional shares and
any dividends or other distributions to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section E.6 below), subject to any required withholding of applicable taxes. Neither FNB nor the Exchange Agent shall be obligated to deliver any of such payments in
cash or stock until such holder surrenders the certificate(s) representing such holder’s shares. The certificate(s) so surrendered shall be duly endorsed as the Exchange Agent may require. If there is a transfer of ownership of any shares of
Integrity Stock not registered in the transfer records of Integrity, the Merger Consideration shall be issued to the transferee thereof if the certificates representing such Integrity Stock are presented to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by all
documents required, in the reasonable judgment of FNB and the Exchange Agent, to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence that any applicable stock transfer taxes have been paid. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed
to the holders of certificates representing Integrity Stock for six months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to FNB, upon demand, and any shareholders of Integrity who have not previously complied with the provisions of this Plan of Merger
shall thereafter look only to FNB for payment of their claim for FNB Stock and cash and any dividends or distributions with respect to FNB Stock. Any portion of the Exchange Fund remaining unclaimed by holders of Integrity Stock five years after the
Effective Time (or such earlier date immediately prior to such time as such portion would otherwise escheat to or become property of any government entity) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, become the property of FNB free and clear
of any claims or interest of any person previously entitled therein. Any other provision of this Agreement notwithstanding, neither FNB nor the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any holder of shares of Integrity Stock for any amounts paid or
properly delivered in good faith to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property law. 
  
 6. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of Integrity shall be closed as to holders of Integrity Stock immediately prior to the
Effective Time and no transfer of Integrity Stock by any such holder shall thereafter be made or recognized. Until surrendered for exchange in accordance with the provisions of Section E.5 above, each certificate theretofore representing shares of
Integrity Stock (other than shares to be canceled pursuant to Section E.1 above) shall from and after the Effective Time represent for all purposes only the right to receive the Merger Consideration. If, after the Effective Time, certificates
representing Integrity Stock are presented to FNB or the Exchange Agent for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Plan of Merger. To the extent permitted by North Carolina law, former shareholders of record of
Integrity shall be entitled to vote after the Effective Time at any meeting of shareholders 
  

 3 

 of FNB the number of whole shares of FNB Stock into which their respective shares of Integrity Stock are
