FARMERS NATIONAL BANC CORP. RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT

Nature of Award.  Effective as of the date specified (the “Grant Date”) in the attached Notice of Grant (the “Grant Notices”), the Company hereby grants to the individual identified in the Grant Notice (the “Participant”) the award as set forth in the Grant Notice (the “Award”).  The Award is subject to the terms and conditions described in the Plan, this Award Agreement and the Grant Notice.

Number of Shares.  The number of Shares of Restricted Stock in your Award is set forth in the Grant Notice.  For purposes of this Award Agreement, each whole Share awarded represents the right to receive one Share.

Vesting.  The Shares of Restricted Stock in your Award will be settled or will be forfeited depending on whether the terms and conditions described in the Grant Notice, this Award Agreement, and the Plan are satisfied. Accordingly, your Shares normally will vest on the “Normal Vesting Date” in accordance with the schedule identified in the Grant Notice. If the scheduled Normal Vesting Date is a non-business day, the next following business day will be considered the Normal Vesting Date.

Forfeiture of Awards:  If the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to material non-compliance of the Company, as a result of misconduct by a Participant, with any financial reporting requirement under any applicable laws, the Participant shall reimburse the Company for all amounts received under the Plan within 30 days after receipt of notice of the same from the Company.

Effect of Termination:  Participant may forfeit this Award if employment terminates prior to the Normal Vesting Date, although it will depend on the reason for termination as provided below:

Termination Due to Death or Disability.  If you die or become Disabled, your Shares of Restricted Stock will vest fully on the date of your death or Disability.

Termination Due to Retirement.  If you terminate due to Retirement, and provided that the Committee agrees to treat your termination as a Retirement, you will vest in a prorated portion of your Shares of Restricted Stock determined by multiplying the number of Shares by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of whole months you were employed from the Grant Date to the date of Retirement, and the denominator of which is 36.

Termination Due to Termination by the Company without Cause or by Participant for Good Reason. If, prior to the Normal Vesting Date, the Company terminates your employment with the Company without “Cause,” or you terminate your employment with the Company for “Good Reason,” each as defined in Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein, your Shares of Restricted Stock will vest fully on the date of your termination.

Termination for any Other Reason.  If your employment with the Company terminates under any other circumstances, all Shares of Restricted Stock will be forfeited on your termination date.

Effect of Change in Control: Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Change in Control occurs after the Grant Date, your Shares will be subject to the following additional terms and conditions:

If such a Change in Control occurs prior to the Normal Vesting Date and in connection therewith or within two years thereafter your employment is terminated either by the Company or a successor in interest for any reason other than for “Cause” or by you for “Good Reason,” your Shares of Restricted Stock which remain unvested as of the termination date will fully vest.

Miscellaneous:  

Non-Transferability.  An Award may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution.  

Beneficiary. Unless otherwise specifically designated by the Participant in writing, a Participant’s beneficiary under the Plan shall be the Participant’s spouse or, if no spouse survives the Participant, the Participant’s estate.

No Right to Continued Service or to Awards.  The granting of an Award shall impose no obligation on the Company or any Affiliate to continue the employment of a Participant or interfere with or limit the right of the Company or any Affiliate to Terminate the employment of the Participant at any time, with or without Cause, which right is expressly reserved.  

Tax Withholding.  The Company or an Affiliate, as applicable, shall have the power and the right to deduct, withhold or collect any amount required by law or regulation to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising with respect to an Award granted under the Plan.

The Award is subject to the terms and conditions described in this Award Agreement and the Plan, which is incorporated by reference into and made a part of this Award Agreement.  In the event of a conflict between the terms of the Plan and the terms of this Award Agreement, the terms of the Plan will govern.  The Committee has the sole responsibility of interpreting the Plan and this Award Agreement, and its determination of the meaning of any provision in the Plan or this Award Agreement will be binding on the Participant. Capitalized terms that are not defined in this Award Agreement have the same meanings as in the Plan.

Section 409A Payment Delay. If a Participant is determined to be a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and as determined under the Company’s policy for determining specified employees), the Participant shall not be entitled to payment or to distribution of any portion of an Award that is subject to Section 409A of the Code (and for which no exception applies) and is payable or distributable on account of the Participant’s “separation from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) until the expiration of six months from the date of such separation from service (or, if earlier, the Participant’s death).  Such Award, or portion thereof, shall be paid or distributed on the first business day of the seventh month following such separation from service.
