B.    As a condition to FB Financial’s willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement, FB Financial has required that the Shareholder execute and deliver this Agreement.

C.    In order to induce FB Financial to enter into the Merger Agreement, the Shareholder is willing to make certain representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements with respect to the shares of common stock, par value $10.00 per share, of FNB (the “FNB Stock”) beneficially owned (within the meaning ofRule 13d-3 (“Rule 13d-3”) promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) by the Shareholder and set forth below the Shareholder’s signature on the signature page to this Agreement (the “Owned Shares,” and together with any additional shares of FNB Stock or any other class or series of capital stock of FNB contemplated bySection 6 hereof, the “Shares”).

2.    Representations of Shareholder. The Shareholder represents and warrants to FB Financial that:

(a)    The Shareholder is the beneficial owner (within the meaning ofRule 13d-3) of, and has good title to, all of the Owned Shares. The Owned Shares are owned by the Shareholder free and clear of any and all Liens, and, except for this Agreement, there are no options or other rights, agreements, arrangements, or commitments of any kind to which the Shareholder is a party or by or to which the Shareholder or the Owned Shares are bound or subject relating to the pledge, transfer, disposition, or voting of any of the Owned Shares, and there is no voting trust or voting agreement with respect to the Owned Shares.

(c)    The Shareholder has full power and authority and legal capacity to enter into, execute, and deliver this Agreement and to perform fully the Shareholder’s obligations hereunder. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Shareholder and constitutes the legal, valid, and binding obligation of the Shareholder enforceable against the Shareholder in accordance with its terms.

(d)    The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Shareholder does not, and the performance of this Agreement by the Shareholder will not, conflict with, violate, result in a breach of, constitute a default (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) under, or give rise to or result in the creation of a Lien on any of the Owned Shares pursuant to (i) any trust agreement, loan or credit agreement, note, bond, mortgage, deed of trust, indenture, lease, contract, or other agreement or instrument to which the Shareholder is a party, by which the Shareholder or any of the Shareholder’s property or assets (including without limitation the Owned Shares) are bound, or to which the Shareholder or any of the Shareholder’s property or assets (including without limitation the Owned Shares) are subject, or (ii) any Law applicable to or binding upon the Shareholder or the Shareholder’s property or assets (including without limitation the Owned Shares).

3.    Agreement to Vote Shares. The Shareholder irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that, during the term of this Agreement, the Shareholder will vote the Shares, and will cause any holder of record of the Shares to vote the Shares, (a) in favor of approval of (i) the Merger Agreement and the Merger, at every meeting of the shareholders of FNB at which such matters are considered and at every adjournment or postponement thereof, and (ii) any proposal to adjourn or postpone any such meeting of the shareholders of FNB, if necessary to solicit additional proxies in favor of approval of the Merger Agreement and the Merger, and (b) against (i) any Acquisition Proposal, (ii) any action, proposal, transaction, agreement, or other matter which could reasonably be expected to result in a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, or other obligation or agreement of FNB or FN Bank under the Merger Agreement or of the Shareholder under this Agreement, and (iii) any action, proposal, transaction, agreement, or other matter that could reasonably be expected to prevent, impede, interfere with, delay, discourage, or adversely affect the timely consummation of the Merger or the Bank Merger or the satisfaction of any condition to the consummation of the Merger set forth in the Merger Agreement or change in any manner the voting rights of any class or series of shares of capital stock of FNB (including any amendment to the articles of incorporation or bylaws of FNB);provided, however, that, if the manner in which the Shares (or any portion thereof) are owned is such that the Shareholder cannot absolutely cause the Shares to be so voted, the Shareholder shall use the Shareholder’s best efforts to cause the Shares to be so voted.

4.    No Voting Trust or Other Arrangement. The Shareholder agrees that the Shareholder will not, and will not permit any Person under the Shareholder’s control to, deposit any of the Shares in a voting trust, grant any proxy with respect to the Shares inconsistent with this Agreement, or subject any of the Shares to any arrangement with respect to the voting of the Shares, other than agreements entered into with FB Financial.

5.    Transfer and Encumbrance. The Shareholder agrees that, during the term of this Agreement, the Shareholder will not, directly or indirectly, transfer, sell, offer, exchange, assign, pledge, or otherwise dispose of or encumber (collectively, “Transfer”) any of the Shares, or enter into any contract, option, or other agreement or arrangement with respect to, or consent to, a Transfer of any of the Shares or the Shareholder’s voting or economic interest therein;provided, however, that thisSection 5 shall not prohibit a Transfer of the Shares by the Shareholder if, as a precondition to such Transfer, the transferee agrees in a writing, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to FB Financial, to be bound by all of the terms of this Agreement (including without limitation the provisions ofSection 3 hereof pertaining to the voting of the Shares). Any attempted Transfer of the Shares or any interest therein in violation of thisSection 5 shall be null and void.

6.    Additional Shares. The Shareholder agrees that all shares of FNB Stock, and all shares of any other class or series of capital stock of FNB, that the Shareholder purchases, acquires the right to vote (other than as a named proxy), or otherwise acquires beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule13d-3) of after the Shareholder’s execution of this Agreement (including without limitation any shares of FNB capital stock issued as a dividend or in connection with a stock split or other distribution, recapitalization, or reclassification or shares issuable upon the conversion, vesting, or exercise of any warrant, right, option, restricted stock or restricted share award, or other security) shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement and shall constitute “Shares” for all purposes of this Agreement.

7.    Waiver of Appraisal and Dissenters’ Rights. The Shareholder hereby waives and agrees not to assert or perfect any right of appraisal or right to dissent arising or existing in connection with the Merger Agreement or the Merger which the Shareholder may have by virtue of ownership of the Shares.

8.    Termination. This Agreement shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of (a) the approval of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby by the shareholders of FNB in accordance with the

A-2

articles of Incorporation and bylaws of Bancshares and applicable Law or (b) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms. Upon the termination of this Agreement, no party hereto shall have any further obligations or liability hereunder;provided,however, that the termination of this Agreement shall not relieve a party hereto of any liability for any breach of this Agreement prior to the termination of this Agreement.

9.    No Agreement as Director or Officer. The Shareholder makes no agreement herein in the Shareholder’s capacity as a director or officer of FNB. Nothing in this Agreement (a) will limit or affect any actions or omissions taken by the Shareholder in the Shareholder’s capacity as such a director or officer, including in exercising rights under the Merger Agreement, and no such actions or omissions shall be deemed a breach of this Agreement, or (b) will be construed to prohibit, limit, or restrict the Shareholder from exercising the Shareholder’s fiduciary duties as a director or officer of FNB.

10.    Specific Performance. Each party hereto acknowledges that it will be impossible to measure in money the damage to the other party if such party fails to comply with any of the obligations imposed on such party by this Agreement, that every such obligation is material, and that, in the event of any such failure, the other party will not have an adequate remedy at law or adequate damages. Accordingly, each party hereto agrees that injunctive relief or other equitable remedy (including the remedy of specific performance), in addition to remedies at law and/or damages, is an appropriate remedy for any such failure and that it will not oppose the seeking of such relief on the basis that a party has an adequate remedy at law. Each party hereto agrees that it will not seek, and agrees to waive any requirement for, the securing or posting of a bond in connection with the other party seeking or obtaining any such equitable relief or remedy.

11.    Entire Agreement; Amendment; Waivers. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements, written and oral, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and contains the entire, integrated agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may not be amended or supplemented, and no provisions hereof may be modified or waived, except by an instrument in writing signed by each of the parties hereto. No waiver of any provision hereof by a party shall be deemed a waiver of any other provision hereof by such party, nor shall any such waiver be deemed a continuing waiver of any provision hereof by such party.

12.    Disclosure. The Shareholder expressly authorizes FB Financial and FirstBank to publish and disclose in any announcement, filing, or disclosure required by the SEC and in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, and in any other filings made with a Governmental Entity in connection with the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby, the Shareholder’s identity and ownership of the Shares and the nature of the Shareholder’s obligations under this Agreement.

13.    Miscellaneous.

(a)    This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the Laws of the State of Tennessee, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Tennessee or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of Laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of Tennessee.

(b)    Each of the parties hereto irrevocably agrees that any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or the rights and obligations arising hereunder, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment in respect of this Agreement or the rights and obligations arising hereunder, brought by the other party or its successors or assigns shall be brought and determined exclusively in a Tennessee state court located in Nashville, Davidson County, Tennessee, or, in the event (but only in the event) that no such state court has subject matter jurisdiction over such action or proceeding, in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee, Nashville Division.

(c)    EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND, THEREFORE, EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LEGAL ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (I) NO REPRESENTATIVE OF THE OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER IN THE EVENT OF A LEGAL ACTION, (II) SUCH PARTY HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (III) SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (IV) SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THISSECTION 13(C).

(d)    If any term or provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Upon any determination that any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby can be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

(e)    This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to constitute an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
