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 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 E.5 above; provided, however, that upon surrender of such Integrity Stock certificate (or compliance with Section E.7 below), 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. 7. 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).

For purposes of this Section E.4(e), if FNB is obligated to increase the number of Adjustable Conversion Shares to be converted into shares of FNB Stock as a result of the application of the last clause of Section E.4(d) above, then the higher number shall be the Stock Conversion Number in the calculations set forth in this Section E.4(e). 5.
