Yes, after exec the script is finished.
[rocketmouse@archlinux Desktop]$ cat script_1
#!/bin/bash
echo -n "hello "
echo "world"
[rocketmouse@archlinux Desktop]$ cat script_2
#!/bin/bash
exec echo -n "hello "
echo "world"
[rocketmouse@archlinux Desktop]$ sh script_1
hello world
[rocketmouse@archlinux Desktop]$ sh script_2
hello [rocketmouse@archlinux Desktop]$
