Item 4. Description of Securities.
 
DNB has established the DNB Financial Corporation Incentive Equity and Deferred Compensation Plan adopted effective November 24, 2004 (the “Omnibus Plan”), the Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors of DNB Financial Corporation adopted effective October 1, 2006 (the “Directors Plan”) and the DNB Financial Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan adopted effective October 1, 2006 (the “Officers Plan”) (individually, a “Plan” and collectively, “Plans”).

The Directors Plan permits a non-employee director of DNB or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries to defer all or a portion of the compensation payable to the director for his or her services as a member of the board of DNB or a subsidiary and committees thereof. The Officers Plan permits an eligible officer to elect to defer up to fifty percent (50%) of the regular salary otherwise payable to the eligible officer and all or a portion of any annual or other periodic bonus otherwise payable to the eligible officer. The Omnibus Plan contains provisions governing the Directors Plan and the Officers Plan, which are subject to the Omnibus Plan except to the extent they provide otherwise.

Pursuant to the applicable Plans, DNB will provide eligible officers and non-employee directors the opportunity to enter into agreements for the deferral of a specified percentage of their annual compensation and/or bonus award. The obligations of DNB to pay compensation that is deferred under the Plans, which are called Deferred Compensation Obligations in this registration statement, will be unsecured general obligations of DNB to pay the deferred compensation in the future in accordance with the terms of the applicable Plans, and will rank pari passu with other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of DNB, from time to time outstanding. There is no trading market for the Deferred Compensation Obligations. The Deferred Compensation Obligations are not subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment or garnishment. Any attempt by any person to transfer or assign benefits under any of the Plans will be null and void. The Deferred Compensation Obligations are not convertible into any other security of DNB. The amount of compensation to be deferred by each participating officer or non-employee director, and hence the amount of the Deferred Compensation Obligations owed to each participant and to participants in the aggregate will be determined in accordance with the Plans based on elections to be made in the future by each participant.

The Plans require that amounts credited to an eligible director’s deferred compensation account must be payable no later than the earlier of: (i) the date as of which the director separates from service with DNB, within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code; or (ii) the director’s attainment of age 75. The Plans require that amounts credited to an eligible officer’s deferred compensation account must be payable no later than the date as of which the officer separates from service with DNB. Subject to these requirements, a participant may designate an earlier distribution date at the time he or she elects to defer compensation. This earlier distribution date may be either (a) the director’s or officer’s attainment of a specified age or (b) a specified date. A single designation must apply to the entire balance of the participant’s deferred compensation account.

While the Plans permit a participant to change this earlier distribution date from time to time, the new early distribution date a participant selects in any change cannot be less than 12 months after the date the participant makes that change, and the first payment as a result of the new designation cannot be made earlier than five (5) years after the date the first payment would have been made before the participant changed the early distribution date.

A participant may elect to have distributions made from his or her deferred compensation account in the form of a lump sum, or in annual installments for a period of up to ten (10) years. The first distribution payment is to be made on or about January 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the distribution event occurs.

Each participant has the right to designate one or more persons as beneficiary to receive the balance of the participant’s deferred compensation account on the participant’s death. A participant may, from time to time, revoke or change the beneficiary designation by filing a new designation with DNB. The last designation received by DNB in accordance with the applicable Plans will be controlling as long as DNB receives it prior to the participant’s death. If no beneficiary designation is in effect at the death of a participant, or if no designated beneficiary survives the participant, the balance of the participant’s deferred compensation account will be made to the participant’s estate.

All elections and designations must be made in accordance with the terms of the respective Plans. 

The Plans permit the board of directors or administering committee to authorize distribution of all or a portion of a participant’s deferred compensation account in advance of the elected deferral date upon request of the participant if the board of directors or administering committee determines that the participant has experienced an unforeseeable emergency, within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.

3

Upon receiving a director’s or officer’s qualifying election to defer compensation, DNB will allocate to a deferred compensation account for the participant that number of shares of DNB common stock having a fair market value, on the last day of the month in which such compensation would have been paid in absence of the deferral election, equal to 110% of the amount of compensation the participant has elected to defer. For this purpose, the “fair market value” of the stock will be the average of the mean between the bid and the asked price for the stock at the close of trading for the trading day immediately preceding the date on which fair market value is to be determined. Cash dividends deemed to be paid with respect to the stock in each deferred compensation account shall also be allocated to the director’s or officer’s deferred compensation account and immediately reinvested in additional shares of DNB common stock based on the stock’s fair market value (determined as described above) on the date of payment of the cash dividend. Participants may not reallocate deferred amounts into any form other than DNB stock. The Omnibus Plan makes provisions with respect to adjustment of shares allocated to participants’ deferred compensation accounts in circumstances involving increases or decreases in the number of issued shares of DNB common stock, mergers or consolidations, other transactions such as dissolution or sale of assets of DNB, and other changes in the capitalization of or corporate changes with respect to DNB. Upon distribution, the amount in each director’s or officer’s deferred compensation account will be paid in shares of DNB common stock. The Plans provide that, without the express, written consent of the board or the administering committee, the shares of DNB stock to be issued on distribution may not be sold, hypothecated or otherwise transferred for a period of one (1) year from the date of distribution.
 
In connection with the Plan, DNB has created a nonqualified grantor trust, commonly known as a “rabbi trust.”  The assets of the trust will be used to pay participants’ benefits under the Plans.  From time to time but in no event less frequently than monthly, DNB will contribute to the trust the amounts DNB is obligated to credit to each participant’s deferred compensation account. However, assets cannot be set aside in the rabbi trust to fund nonqualified deferred compensation for any individual subject to Section 16(a) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 Act during any restricted period with respect to a defined benefit pension plan maintained by DNB or a member of the same controlled group as DNB. For this purpose, a “restricted period” exists with respect to a defined benefit pension plan (a) at any time while the employer sponsoring the defined benefit pension plan is in bankruptcy, (b) at any time beginning six months before and ending six months after the date the defined benefit pension plan is terminated in an involuntary or distress termination (per Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation procedures), or (c) during any period in which the defined benefit pension plan is in "at risk status" within the meaning of the new pension funding rules enacted as part of the Pension Protection Act of 2006.

The assets of the trust are subject to the claims of DNB’s general creditors. The trust agreement provides that a participant’s rights or the rights of any other person to receive payment under a Plan may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, mortgaged or otherwise encumbered, except that a participant may designate a beneficiary to receive the balance of the participant’s deferred compensation account upon the participant’s death. The initial trustee for the trust will be DNB First, National Association, the wholly owned subsidiary of DNB. The trustee may change. While the trustee is responsible for holding DNB stock and other assets designated as a source for payment of the deferred compensation, participants have no rights in the trust assets and each participant will be responsible for enforcing his or her own rights with respect to the Deferred Compensation Obligations.

The Plans are currently administered by DNB’s full board of directors, but they may hereafter be administered by a committee appointed by and serving at the discretion of the board of directors if the committee meets certain criteria set forth in the Omnibus Plan.
 
DNB’s board of directors reserves the right at any time to amend any of the plans in whole or in part, retroactively or prospectively, for any reason and without the consent of any participant or beneficiary, provided that no amendment may adversely affect the rights of a participant or beneficiary with respect to amounts credited to the participant’s deferred compensation account prior to such amendment or alter the timing of distribution of any participant’s deferred compensation account. DNB’s board of directors reserves the right at any time to terminate any of the plans. Upon termination of the Directors Plan or the Officers Plan, (a) all elections with respect to the deferral of future compensation under that plan will terminate as of the date specified by the board of directors, but not before the earliest time permitted under Section 409A of the Code; and (b) the deferred compensation account of each participant under that plan will be distributed at such time or times as it would have been distributed in the absence of termination, unless the board of directors, in its discretion, elects to distribute the deferred compensation accounts of all of that plan’s participants in some other manner but in no event prior to the earliest time permitted under Section 409A of the Code.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
 
Sections 1741 and 1747 of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Act, as amended (the “Act”), provides for indemnification of, and insurance for any person who is or was a representative of DNB and specifically empowers DNB to indemnify, subject to the standards therein prescribed, any person who is or was a representative of DNB in connection with any action, suit or proceeding brought or threatened by reason of the fact that he is or was a representative of DNB. Articles 23 and 24 of DNB’s Bylaws require DNB to indemnify each of DNB’s directors and officers in such capacity in which any such director or officer acts for or on behalf of DNB including as an employee or agent.
 
The Bylaws provide that DNB will indemnify any officer or director who was or is a party to, or is threatened to be made a party to, or who is called to be a witness in connection with, any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of DNB) by reason of the fact that such person is or was an officer or director of DNB, or is or was serving at the request of DNB as a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorney’s fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of DNB, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
 
In addition, DNB will indemnify any officer or director who was or is a party to, or is threatened to be made a party to, or who is called as a witness in connection with, any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of DNB to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, and/or employee or agent of a corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against amounts paid in settlement and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of, or serving as a witness in, such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of DNB. No indemnification will be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for misconduct in the performance of his duty to DNB.
 
The Bylaws permit the payment of expenses incurred by an officer or director in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding.
 
As provided in the Bylaws, DNB may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was an officer or director of DNB, or is or was serving at the request of DNB as an officer or director of a corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such.
 
DNB will not indemnify any officer or director in any case where the act or failure to act giving rise to the claim for indemnification constituted willful misconduct or recklessness. The Bylaws also provide that a director of DNB will not be personally liable for monetary damages as such for any action taken or for any failure to take any action, unless:
 
(a) the director has breached or failed to perform the duties of his office, and
 
(b) the breach or failure to perform constitutes self-dealing, willful misconduct or recklessness.
 
The Bylaws exclude:
 
(a) the responsibility or liability of a director pursuant to a criminal statute, or
 
(b) the liability of a director for the payment of taxes pursuant to local, state or federal law.
 
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
 
Not applicable.
 
Item 8. Exhibits.

Item 9. Undertakings.
 
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
 
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
 
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
 
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment hereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement; and
 
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement;
 
Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by DNB pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement;
 
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be an initial bona fide offering thereof; and
 
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
 
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of its annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of DNB pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, DNB has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by DNB of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of DNB in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, DNB will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy or expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

All such Awards shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement. 7.2 ISSUANCE AND RESTRICTIONS. An Unrestricted Stock Award may provide for a transfer of shares of Stock to a Participant at the time the Award is granted, or it may provide for a deferred transfer of shares of Stock subject to conditions prescribed by the Committee. Restricted Stock Awards shall be subject to such restrictions on transferability and risks of forfeiture as the Committee may impose.

Except as otherwise determined by the Committee at the time of the grant of the Award or thereafter, upon termination of employment or service as a Director during the applicable restriction period, Stock subject to a Restricted Stock Award that is at that time subject to restrictions shall be forfeited, provided, however, that the Committee may provide in any Restricted Stock Award that restrictions or forfeiture conditions relating to the Stock will be waived in whole or in part in the event of terminations resulting from specified causes, and the Committee may in other cases waive in whole or in part restrictions or forfeiture conditions relating to the Stock. 7.4 CERTIFICATES FOR RESTRICTED STOCK. Restricted Stock Awards granted under the Plan may be evidenced in such manner as the Committee shall determine. If certificates representing shares of Stock subject to Restricted Stock Awards are registered in the name of the Participant, certificates must bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to such shares, and the Company may, at its discretion, retain physical possession of the certificate until such time as all applicable restrictions lapse. 5 ARTICLE 8 PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO ALL AWARDS 8.1 STAND-ALONE AND TANDEM AWARDS. Awards granted under the Plan may, in the discretion of the Committee, be granted either alone, in addition to, or in tandem with, any other Award granted under the Plan. Awards granted in addition to or in tandem with other Awards may be granted either at the same time as or at a different time from the grant of such other Awards. 8.2 EXCHANGE PROVISIONS.

The term of each Award shall be for the period as determined by the Committee. 8.4 LIMITS ON TRANSFER. No right or interest of a Participant in any Award may be pledged, encumbered, or hypothecated to or in favor of any party other than the Company, or shall be subject to any lien, obligation, or liability of such Participant to any other party other than the Company; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be deemed to imply any obligation of the Company to lend against or accept a lien or pledge of any Award for any reason. No Award shall be assignable or transferable by a Participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, except that the Committee, in its discretion, may permit a Participant to make a gratuitous transfer of an Award to his or her spouse, lineal descendants, lineal ascendants, or a duly established trust for the benefit of one or more of these individuals. 8.5 BENEFICIARIES. Notwithstanding Section 8.4, a Participant may, if and to the extent, and in such manner as may be determined by the Committee from time to time, designate a beneficiary to exercise the rights of the Participant and to receive any distribution with respect to any Award upon the Participant's death. A beneficiary, legal guardian, legal representative, or other person claiming any rights under the Plan is subject to all terms and conditions of the Plan and any Award applicable to the Participant, except to the extent the Plan and Award otherwise provide, and to any additional restrictions deemed necessary or appropriate by the Committee. If no beneficiary has been designated or survives the Participant, payment shall be made to the Participant's estate. Subject to the foregoing, if a Participant is entitled to designate a beneficiary, a beneficiary designation may be changed or revoked by a Participant at any time in accordance with any procedures or conditions established by the Committee from time to time, provided the change or revocation is filed with the Committee. 8.6 STOCK CERTIFICATES. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificates evidencing shares of Stock pursuant to the exercise of any Awards, unless and until the Board has determined, with advice of counsel, that the issuance and delivery of such certificates is in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations of governmental authorities and, if applicable, the requirements of any exchange on which the shares of Stock are listed or traded as well as the terms of this Plan and any other terms, conditions or restrictions that may be applicable. All Stock certificates delivered under the Plan are subject to any stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee deems necessary or advisable to comply with Federal, state, or foreign jurisdiction, securities or other laws, rules and regulations and the rules of any national securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Stock is listed, quoted, or traded. The Committee may place legends on any Stock certificate to reference restrictions applicable to the Stock. In addition to the terms and conditions provided herein, the Board may require that a Participant make such reasonable covenants, agreements, and representations as the Board, in its discretion, deems advisable in order to comply with any such laws, regulations, or requirements. 6 ARTICLE 9 DEFERRAL OF COMPENSATION 9.1 RIGHT TO DEFER COMPENSATION. --------------------------- (a) TYPES OF DEFERRALS. Any Participant designated by the Board or by the Committee may elect to defer (i) all or any portion of the Participant's salary, (ii) any percentage of a fiscal year bonus determined by the Board or other duly constituted authority or delegate to be payable to such Participant, or (iii) all or any portion of the Participant's director's fees. Such election shall remain in force for all future years, to the extent applicable, until modified or revoked. In addition, the Committee, in its discretion, may permit a Participant to elect to defer his or her receipt of the payment of cash or the delivery of shares of Stock that would otherwise be due to such Participant pursuant to an Award. Any election under this Section 9 shall be made by written notice delivered to the Chief Financial Officer of DNB Financial Corporation, specifying the amount (or percentage) of salary and/or bonus and/or directors' fees and/or the Award to be deferred. (b) TIMING OF ELECTIONS. A Participant's election to defer compensation for services performed during a calendar year must be made not later than the close of the preceding calendar year, or at such other time as provided in regulations under Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, (i) in the case of the first calendar year in which a Participant becomes eligible to defer compensation pursuant to this Plan, such election may be made with respect to services to be performed subsequent to the election within 30 days after the date the Participant becomes eligible to participate, and (ii) in the case of any performance-based compensation based on services performed over a period of at least 12 months, such election may be made no later than six months before the end of the period. The determination of whether any compensation satisfied the criteria of clause (ii) shall be made in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and regulations promulgated thereunder. A Participant's election to defer salary or director's fees shall continue from year to year unless revoked or modified with respect to a calendar year prior to such calendar year. A Participant's election with respect to a fiscal year bonus shall apply only with respect to that bonus. A Participant may make an election to defer the receipt of cash or shares of Stock otherwise payable or transferable to the Participant pursuant to an Award in accordance with the terms of such Award as well as the requirements of this Section 9.1(b). 9.2 DEFERRED COMPENSATION ACCOUNTS. ------------------------------ (a) ESTABLISHMENT OF ACCOUNTS. A Deferred Compensation Account in the name of each Participant who has elected to defer compensation under the Plan shall be established and maintained as a special ledger account on the books of the Company. On the last day of each calendar month in which salary or director's fees deferred under this Plan would have become payable to a Participant (in the absence of an election to defer payment thereof), the amount of such deferred salary or director's fees shall be credited to the Participant's Deferred Compensation Account. On the last day of the month in which the bonuses deferred under this Plan would have become payable to a Participant in the absence of an election to defer payment thereof, the amount of such deferred bonus shall be credited to the Participant's Deferred Compensation Account. On the last day of the month in which an Award would have otherwise become payable or transferable to a Participant in the absence of an election to defer receipt thereof, the amount of such deferred Award shall be credited to the Participant's Deferred Compensation Account. (b) DEEMED INVESTMENT OF ACCOUNT BALANCE. 7 (1) Except as otherwise provided by the terms of an Award, the Participant shall, at the time of making a deferred compensation election under this Plan, make an election directing the Company to credit to the Deferred Compensation Account in that calendar year based upon the options made available by the Board or designated Committee which options may include either cash, Stock, or a combination of cash and Stock equal in value to the amount of the current year's salary or bonus deferred under the Plan. In addition to cash or Stock, the Board or the Committee may offer to the Participant such deemed investment options as it shall decide are appropriate. Such investment options may include deemed investments in individual stocks or bonds, mutual funds, and such other investment options as the Board or Committee may choose. The Board or Committee shall not be required to offer the same deemed investment options to each Participant but may restrict certain investment options to designated Participants. In the absence of a contrary election by a Participant, the amount credited to a Deferred Compensation Account shall be credited as cash. (2) If the Participant directs that any amount credited to the Deferred Compensation account be credited in the form of Stock, the Board shall credit to the Deferred Compensation Account sufficient shares of Stock equal in value to the Deferred Compensation Account balance, or such lesser amount as the Participant shall direct. The value of such Stock shall be determined in accordance with a valuation methodology approved by the Board or by the Committee. Except as provided in Section 9.6, such Stock credited to the Deferred Compensation Account shall merely constitute a bookkeeping entry of the Company, and (except as provided herein) the Participant shall have no voting, dividend, or other legal or economic rights with respect to such Stock. At the end of each fiscal quarter, an amount equivalent to all dividends which would otherwise have been payable with respect to such Stock shall be credited to the Deferred Compensation Account as additional Stock. The amount of the Participant's Deferred Compensation Account that is credited as cash shall increase or decrease based on the deemed investment options offered to the Participant pursuant to clause (i) and selected by the Participant, and valuations of that portion of the Participant's Deferred Compensation Account shall occur at such times as prescribed by the Committee. (3) The Participant shall elect the portion of their deferral to be allocated to Stock or cash or such other option as made available by the Board at the time of making such election to defer compensation. Such allocation may not be amended with respect to such deferral without the approval of the Committee. Any allocation to Stock shall be paid in the form of Stock. No Participant will be granted the right to take payment of the Stock in cash rather than in shares. (4) If, at any time, the deferral of a Participant is allocated to Stock, and such Participant would otherwise be deemed to have violated the short-swing profit rules of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act through such allocation, the allocation to Stock shall be void and such allocation shall default to cash. 9.3 PAYMENT OF DEFERRED COMPENSATION. -------------------------------- (a) IN GENERAL. Amounts credited to a Participant's Deferred Compensation Account shall be payable upon the Participant's Distribution Event. The Participant shall determine the method of distributing the amounts in the Deferred Compensation Account at the time the first election to participate in the Plan is made, which shall be either a single distribution or a series of up to ten (10) consecutive, substantially equal annual installments paid to such Participant or his or her beneficiary, as the case may be, on or before January 15 of each year, commencing in the year following the Distribution Event. If no such election is made, the method of distribution shall be determined solely by the Board. If the Participant has elected to receive installment distributions, and less than the full value of the Participant's Deferred Compensation Account balance has been distributed as of the date of his or her death, the balance shall be paid to the Participant's beneficiary in accordance with the same method in 8 effect at the Participant's death. For purposes of this Article 9, a Participant's "beneficiary" shall mean the person or persons designated by the Participant pursuant to Section 8.5 of this Plan, or, in the absence of such designation or if no such person survives the Participant, the Participant's estate. If any portion of the Participant's Deferred Compensation Account is credited with Stock, then distributions from that portion of the Deferred Compensation Account shall be made directly in the form of Stock. If the Participant has elected installment distributions, the undistributed balance of the Participant's Deferred Compensation Account will continue to be valued and will continue to be credited with dividends with respect to Stock, if applicable, in accordance with Section 9.2, until the final installment is distributed. (b) MODIFICATION OF PAYMENT TERMS. A Participant may elect to change the method of distribution of his or her Deferred Compensation Account previously elected (or deemed elected) pursuant to Section 9.3(a), subject to the following limitations: (i) no such election shall take effect until at least 12 months after the date on which the election is made; (ii) the first payment made as a result of such election be made no earlier than five years after the date such payment would have been made absent such election; and (iii) in the case of a payment scheduled to be made or payments scheduled to commence at a Distribution Event with respect to a Director that is a specified age of the Director, the election must be made at least 12 months prior to the attainment of such age. (c) CHANGE IN CONTROL. In the event of a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company, or in the ownership of a substantial portion of its assets (in all cases as described in regulations under Section 409A of the Code), a Participant shall receive a distribution of all or a portion of his or her Deferred Compensation Account. Any distribution pursuant to this Section 9.3(c) shall be made (i) in the form of cash and/or Stock as his or her Deferred Compensation Account is allocated and (ii) within seven (7) days subsequent to the change in ownership or effective control. (d) HARDSHIP DISTRIBUTION IN THE CASE OF UNFORESEEABLE EMERGENCY. Prior to the time a Deferred Compensation Account of a Participant would otherwise become payable, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may elect to distribute all or a portion of the Deferred Compensation Account in the event such Participant requests a distribution by reason of an unforeseeable emergency. For purposes of this Plan, an unforeseeable emergency shall be deemed to have occurred if the Committee determines that a Participant has experienced (i) a severe financial hardship resulting from an illness or accident of the Participant, the Participant's spouse, or a dependent (within the meaning of Section 152(a) of the Code) of the Participant, (ii) a loss of the Participant's property due to casualty, or (iii) another similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstance arising as a result of events beyond the control of the Participant. A distribution based on an unforeseeable emergency shall not exceed the amount necessary to satisfy such emergency plus the amount necessary to pay taxes reasonably anticipated as a result of the distribution, after taking into account the extent to which such emergency may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise or by liquidation of the Participant's assets (to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship). In the event the Participant is a member of the Committee making such determination, the Participant shall not participate in the decision by the Committee. 9 9.4 TRUST PROVISIONS. ---------------- (a) ESTABLISHMENT OF TRUST. The Company may in its sole discretion establish one or more trusts to provide a source of payment for its obligations under the Plan and such trust shall be permitted to hold cash, Stock, or other assets to the extent of the Company's obligations hereunder. The Company may, but is not required to, utilize a single trust with respect to its obligations to Participants who are members of the Board and Participants who are not members of the Board. The accounts of multiple Participants may be held under a single trust but in such event each account shall be separately maintained and segregated from each other account. (b) CLAIMS OF THE COMPANY'S CREDITORS. All assets held by any account or trust created hereunder and all distributions to be made by the Company or any trustee pursuant to this Plan and any trust agreement shall be subject to the claims of general creditors of the Company, including judgment creditors and bankruptcy creditors. The rights of a Participant or his or her beneficiaries in or to any assets of the trust shall be no greater than the rights of an unsecured creditor of the Company. 9.5 NON-ASSIGNMENT. No right or interest of any Participant or any person claiming through or under such Participant in the Participant's Deferred Compensation Account shall be assignable or transferable in any manner or be subject to alienation, anticipation, sale, pledge, encumbrance or other legal process (including execution, levy, garnishment, attachment, bankruptcy, or otherwise) or in any manner be subject to the debts or liabilities of such Participant. If any Participant or any such person shall attempt to or shall transfer, assign, alienate, anticipate, sell, pledge or otherwise encumber his or her benefits hereunder or any part thereof, or if by reason of his or her bankruptcy or other event happening at any time such benefits would devolve upon anyone else or would not be enjoyed by him or her, then the Committee, in its discretion, may terminate his or her interest in any such benefit to the extent the Committee considers necessary or advisable to prevent or limit the effects of such occurrence. Termination shall be effected by filing a written declaration of termination with the Committee's records and making reasonable efforts to deliver a copy to such Participant or any such other person or his or her legal representative. As long as any Participant is alive, any amounts affected by the termination shall be retained by the Company or the trustee of any trust established pursuant to Section 9.4 of this Plan and, in the Committee's sole and absolute discretion, may be paid to or expended for the benefit of such Participant, his or her spouse, his or her children, or any other person or persons in fact dependent upon him or her in such a manner as the Committee shall deem proper. ARTICLE 10 CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE 10.1 GENERAL. (a) OUTSTANDING AWARDS - INCREASE OR DECREASE IN ISSUED SHARES WITHOUT CONSIDERATION. Subject to any required action by the shareholders of the Company, in the event of any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Stock resulting from a subdivision or consolidation of shares of Stock or the payment of a stock dividend (but only on the shares of Stock), or any other increase or decrease in the number of such shares effected without receipt or payment of consideration by the Company, the Committee shall proportionally adjust the number of shares of Stock subject to each outstanding Award and the exercise price per share of Stock of each such Award. (b) OUTSTANDING AWARDS - CERTAIN MERGERS. Subject to any required action by the shareholders of the Company, in the event that the Company shall be the surviving corporation in any merger or consolidation (except a merger or consolidation as a result of which the 10 holders of shares of Stock receive securities of another corporation), each Award outstanding on the date of such merger or consolidation shall pertain to and apply to the securities which a holder of the number of shares of Stock subject to such Award would have received in such merger or consolidation. (c) OUTSTANDING AWARDS - CERTAIN OTHER TRANSACTIONS. In the event of (i) a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, (ii) a sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets, (iii) a merger or consolidation involving the Company in which the Company is not the surviving corporation or (iv) a merger or consolidation involving the Company in which the Company is the surviving corporation but the holders of shares of Stock receive securities of another corporation and/or other property, including cash, the Committee shall, in its absolute discretion, have the power to: (A) cancel, effective immediately prior to the occurrence of such event, each Award outstanding immediately prior to such event (whether or not then exercisable), and, in full consideration of such cancellation, pay to the Participant to whom such Award was granted an amount in cash, for each share of Stock subject to such Award, respectively, equal to the excess of (1) the value, as determined by the Committee in its absolute discretion, of the property (including cash) received by the holder of a share of Stock as a result of such event over (2) the exercise of such Award; or (B) provide for the exchange of each Award outstanding immediately prior to such event for a different Award and, incident thereto, make an equitable adjustment as determined by the Committee in its absolute discretion in the value of the Award or the number of shares or amount of property subject to the Award or, if appropriate, provide for a cash payment to the Participant to whom such Award was granted in partial consideration for the exchange of the Award, or any combination thereof. (d) OUTSTANDING AWARDS - OTHER CHANGES. In the event of any other change in the capitalization of the Company or corporate change other than those specifically referred to in this Article, the Committee may, in its absolute discretion, make such adjustments in the number and class of shares subject to Awards outstanding on the date on which such change occurs and in the per share exercise price of each Award as the Committee may consider appropriate to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights. (e) NO SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL REQUIRED. Except to the extent required by applicable law, no adjustment in the number of shares subject to outstanding Awards, and no adjustment in the number of shares available for grant under this Plan, shall require shareholder approval, and all such future adjustments shall be deemed approved by the approval of this Plan, to the extent that such adjustment, whether automatic or discretionary, is proportional to and accompanies an equivalent adjustment in the number of shares held by the Company's shareholders. (f) NO OTHER RIGHTS. Except as expressly provided in the Plan, no Participant shall have any rights by reason of any subdivision or consolidation of shares of stock of any class, the payment of any dividend, any increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class or any dissolution, liquidation, merger, or consolidation of the Company or any other corporation. Except as expressly provided in the Plan, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number of shares of Stock subject to an Award or the exercise price of any Award. 11 ARTICLE 11 AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION, AND TERMINATION 11.1 AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION, AND TERMINATION. At any time and from time to time, the Board may terminate, amend or modify the Plan. 11.2 AWARDS PREVIOUSLY GRANTED.

ARTICLE 12 GENERAL PROVISIONS 12.1 NO RIGHTS TO AWARDS. No Participant, employee, or other person shall have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan, and neither the Company nor the Committee is obligated to treat Participants, employees, and other persons uniformly. 12.2 NO STOCKHOLDERS RIGHTS. No Award gives the Participant any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company unless and until shares of Stock are in fact issued to such person in connection with such Award. 12.3 WITHHOLDING. The Company shall have the authority and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy Federal, state, and local taxes (including the Participant's FICA obligation) required by law to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising as a result of this Plan. 12.4 NO RIGHT TO EMPLOYMENT OR SERVICES. Nothing in the Plan or any Award Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or the Bank or any of their affiliates or subsidiaries to terminate any Participant's employment or services at any time, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the employ of the Company. 12.5 INDEMNIFICATION. To the extent allowable under applicable law, each member of the Committee or of the Board shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company and the Bank and any of their applicable subsidiaries from any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by such member in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which he or she may be a party or in which he or she may be involved by reason of any action or failure to act under the Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid by him or her in satisfaction of judgment in such action, suit, or proceeding against him or her provided he or she gives the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it on his or her own behalf. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled under the Company's or the Bank's or any of their applicable subsidiaries' Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any power that the Company or the Bank or any of their applicable subsidiaries may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless. 12.6 FRACTIONAL SHARES.

The obligation of the Company to make payment of awards in Stock or otherwise shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by government agencies as may be required. The Company shall be under no obligation to register under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, any of the shares of Stock paid under the Plan. If the shares paid under the Plan may in certain circumstances be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Company may restrict the transfer of such shares in such manner as it deems advisable to ensure the availability of any such exemption. 12.8 GOVERNING LAW. The Plan and the terms of all Awards shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without regard to rules of choice of law or conflict of laws, except to the extent such laws may be pre-empted by the federal laws of the United States of America. 13 EX-4.B 3 ex4-b.htm EXHIBIT 4(B) Exhibit 4(b)

Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, however, in the case of any individual who will be an Eligible Director as of the Effective Date, or in the case of an individual who first becomes an Eligible Director after the Effective Date, the Eligible Director may make an Election at any time prior to the Effective Date or during the period ending on the 30th day following the Effective Date, or at any time prior to the date on which he or she becomes an Eligible Director or during the period ending on the 30th day following the date he or she first becomes an Eligible Director, as the case may be, provided that in no event shall such Election apply with respect to any Compensation earned by the Eligible Director prior to the date of the Election.
 
(b) An Eligible Director’s Election must be in writing, and in such form as the Committee shall prescribe. No Election with respect to Compensation otherwise payable in cash shall be effective with respect to any calendar year unless the amount projected to be deferred for such year is at least five thousand dollars ($5,000).
 
(c) An Eligible Director may modify or revoke his or her Election effective as of the commencement of any calendar year, provided such modification or revocation is in writing in such form as the Committee shall prescribe, and is delivered to the Company in advance of such year.
 
(d) An Eligible Director’s Election with respect to Compensation otherwise payable in cash, or subsequent modification or revocation thereof, shall remain in effect through subsequent calendar years, unless and until modified or revoked, or a new Election is made, in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 4. An Eligible Director’s Election with respect to Awards of Shares shall apply solely with respect to Awards granted in the calendar year to which the Election relates, and no Shares payable pursuant to another Award shall be deferred pursuant to this DCP or otherwise unless a new Election is made with respect to such Award pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.
 
5. Allocations to Deferred Compensation Account.
 
(a) That number of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to one hundred and ten percent (110%) of the amount of Compensation otherwise payable in cash which an
 
 
2

 
Eligible Director has deferred pursuant to an Election shall be allocated to the Eligible Director’s Deferred Compensation Account. The determination of the number of Shares to be allocated shall be based on the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the last day of the month in which such Compensation would have been paid to the Eligible Director but for his or her Election.
 
(b) That number of Shares equal to the number of Shares subject to an Award which an Eligible Director has deferred pursuant to an Election shall be allocated to the Eligible Director’s Deferred Compensation Account as of the last day of the month in which such Shares would otherwise have been paid to the Eligible Director or become vested, whichever is later.
 
(c) The amount of a cash dividend paid with respect to the Stock shall be deemed to be paid with respect to the Shares allocated to an Eligible Director’s Deferred Compensation Account and immediately reinvested in additional Shares in accordance with the same procedures and valuation provisions as are applicable under the Company’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan from time to time.
 
(d) All Shares allocated to an Eligible Director’s Deferred Compensation Account shall thereafter be fully vested and shall not be forfeitable for any reason.
 
6. Distributions from Deferred Compensation Account.
 
(a) All distributions from an Eligible Director’s Deferred Account shall be in Shares, except that the Fair Market Value of any fraction of a Share as of the date of distribution shall be paid in cash. All Shares distributed to an Eligible Director or Beneficiary shall be subject to a restriction whereby they may not be sold, hypothecated or otherwise transferred for a period of one (1) year from the date of distribution without the express, written consent of the Committee. Certificates representing distributed Shares shall bear a legend reflecting such restriction.
 
(b)  Distribution of an Eligible Director’s Deferred Compensation Account shall commence upon the earlier of the following:
 
(i) the date as of which he or she separates from service with the Company, within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code;
 
(ii) the Eligible Director’s attainment of age 75; or
 
(iii) the Eligible Director’s attainment of an attained age or a specified date designated by his or her Election, or as revised pursuant to Section 6(d), below.
 
If the Eligible Director does not designate an age in his or her Election pursuant to clause (iii), distribution of the Eligible Director’s Deferred Compensation Account shall commence upon the occurrence of the earlier of the events specified in clause (i) and (ii). A single designation shall apply to the entire balance of the Eligible Director’s Deferred Compensation Account.
 
 
3

 
(c) Upon the occurrence of the distribution event set forth in Section 6(b), above, the balance of the Eligible Director’s Deferred Compensation Account shall be distributed in one of the following optional forms of distribution, as he or she may designate in his or her Election:
 
(i) A single lump sum distribution on or about January 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which such distribution event occurs; or
 
(ii) Annual installments payable for a number of whole years designated by the Eligible Director in his or her Election, which number shall not exceed ten (10), commencing on or about January 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which such distribution event occurs, and each January 15 thereafter during the installment period.
 
In the absence of a designation by the Eligible Director pursuant to this Section 6(c), the Eligible Director shall be deemed to have designated the distribution method set forth in clause (i). A single designation shall apply to the entire balance of the Eligible Director’s Deferred Compensation Account.
 
If distributions are to be made in installments, the amount of each installment shall be equal to the balance of the Deferred Compensation Account as of the close of the calendar year preceding the date of distribution of the installment, divided by the number of installment payments remaining (including that installment).
 
(d) An Eligible Director may elect to change the timing or method of distribution (or both) previously designated (or deemed designated) pursuant to Section 6(b) or (c), above, by submission of a new designation to the Company, subject to the following limitations and any further limitations prescribed by Section 409A of the Code:
 
(i) no such new designation shall take effect until at least 12 months after the date on which it is made;
 
(ii) the first payment as a result of such new designation shall be made no earlier than five (5) years after the date such payment would have been made absent such new Election; and
 
(iii) in the case of a payment scheduled to be made or payments scheduled to commence upon the attainment of a specified age, the new designation must be made at least 12 months prior to the attainment of such age.
 
(e) Notwithstanding an Eligible Director’s Election or any provision of this DCP to the contrary, upon an Eligible Director’s separation from service with the Company, within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, the Eligible Director’s entire Deferred Compensation Account shall be distributed in a single lump sum on or about January 15 of the calendar year following his or her separation from service if the Fair Market Value of the Deferred Compensation Account as of the close of such calendar year is not in excess of ten thousand dollars ($10,000).
 
 
4

 
(f) Distribution of all or a portion of an Eligible Director’s Deferred Compensation Account shall be accelerated upon request of the Eligible Director if the Committee determines that the Eligible Director has experienced an unforeseeable emergency, within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. The amount to be distributed shall not exceed the amount necessary to satisfy such unforeseeable emergency plus amounts necessary to pay taxes reasonably anticipated as a result of such distribution, after taking into account the extent to which such emergency may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise or by liquidation of the Eligible Director’s assets (to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship). In the event the requesting Eligible Director is a member of the Committee, the Eligible Director shall not participate in the decision by the Committee.
 
(g) In the event of an Eligible Director’s death prior to the distribution in full of his or her Deferred Compensation Account, the Beneficiary shall receive the balance of the Eligible Director’s Deferred Compensation Account in a single lump sum as soon as practicable following the Eligible Director’s death.
 
(h) Any amount distributed to an Eligible Director or Beneficiary under this DCP shall be subject to all applicable tax withholdings mandated by law. To the extent necessary, the number of Shares otherwise distributable at any time shall be reduced by that number of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of tax required to be withheld in connection with such distribution.
 
7. Designation of Beneficiary.
 
(a) Each Eligible Director shall file with the Company a written designation, in the form prescribed by the Company, of one or more persons as Beneficiary to receive the balance of the Eligible Director’s Deferred Compensation Account upon his or her death. The Eligible Director may, from time to time, revoke or change his or her Beneficiary designation by filing a new designation with the Company. The last such designation received by the Company shall be controlling; provided, however, that no designation, change or revocation thereof, shall be effective unless received by the Company prior to the Eligible Director’s death.
 
(b) If no such Beneficiary designation is in effect at the time of the Eligible Director’s death, or if no designated Beneficiary survives the Eligible Director, the payment of the amount, if any, payable under this DCP upon his or her death shall be made to the Eligible Director’s estate.
 
8. Claims Procedures.
 
(a) An Eligible Director or, in the event of the Eligible Director’s death, his or her Beneficiary, may file a written claim for payment hereunder with the Committee. In the event of a denial of any payment due to or requested by the Eligible Employee or Beneficiary (the “claimant”), the Committee will give the claimant written notification containing specific reasons for the denial. The written notification will contain specific reference to the pertinent provisions of this DCP on which the denial of the claim is based. In addition, it will contain a description of any other material or information necessary for the claimant to perfect a claim, and
 
 
5

 
an explanation of why such material or information is necessary. The notification will provide further appropriate information as to the steps to be taken if the claimant wishes to submit the claim for review and the time limits applicable thereto. This written notification will be given to a claimant within ninety (90) days after receipt of the claim by the Committee unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim, in which case the Committee shall provide written notice of the extension to the claimant and the reasons therefore, and the date by which the Company expects to make its determination with respect to the claim. In no event shall such extension exceed 90 days.
 
(b) In the event of a denial of a claim for benefits, the claimant or a duly authorized representative will be permitted to submit issues and comments in writing to the Committee and to submit documents, records and other information relating to the claim for benefits. The claimant or a duly authorized representative shall also be provided, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claimant’s claim for benefits. In addition, the claimant or a duly authorized representative may make a written request for a full and fair review of the claim and its denial by the Committee that takes into account all comments, documents, records and other information submitted by the claimant, without regard to whether such information was submitted or considered in the initial benefits determination; provided, however, that such written request is received by the Commitee (or its delegate) within sixty (60) days after receipt by the claimant of written notification of the denial. The sixty (60) day requirement may be waived by the Committee in appropriate cases.
 
(c) A decision on review of a claim for benefits will be rendered by the Commitee within sixty (60) days after the receipt of the request. Under special circumstances, an extension (up to an additional 60 days) can be granted for processing the decision. Notice of this extension must be provided in writing to the claimant prior to the expiration of the initial sixty-day period. In no event will the decision be rendered more than one hundred twenty (120) days after the initial request for review. Any decision by the Commitee will be furnished to the claimant in writing and will set forth the specific reasons for the decision and the specific provisions on which the decision is based. The claimant or a duly authorized representative shall also be provided, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claimant’s claim for benefits.
 
9. Amendment or Termination.
 
The Board reserves the right at any time to amend this DCP in whole or in part, retroactively or prospectively, for any reason and without the consent of any Eligible Director or Beneficiary, provided that no amendment may adversely affect the rights of an Eligible Director or a Beneficiary with respect to amounts credited to the Eligible Director’s Deferred Compensation Account prior to such amendment or alter the timing of distribution of any Eligible Director’s Deferred Compensation Account. The Board reserves the right at any time to terminate this DCP. Upon termination of this DCP, (a) all Elections with respect to the deferral of future Compensation shall terminate as of the date specified by the Board, but not before the earliest time permitted under Section 409A of the Code; and (b) the Deferred Compensation Account of each Eligible Director shall be distributed at such time or times as it would have been distributed in the absence of termination, unless the Board, in its discretion, elects to distribute the Deferred Compensation Accounts of all Eligible Directors in some other manner but in no event prior to the earliest time permitted under Section 409A of the Code.   
 
 
6

 
10. Miscellaneous.
 
(a) Nothing contained in this DCP shall give the Eligible Director the right to be retained in the service of the Company.
 
(b) If the Company shall find that any person to whom any amount is payable under this DCP is unable to care for his affairs because of illness or accident, or is a minor, the Company may direct that any amount to which such person is entitled be paid to his or her spouse, a child, a relative, an institution maintaining or having custody of such person, or any other person deemed by the Company to be a proper recipient on behalf of such person otherwise entitled to payment. Any such payment shall be a complete discharge of the liability of the DCP and the Company therefor.
 
(c) Except insofar as may otherwise be required by law, no amount payable at any time under this DCP shall be subject in any manner to alienation by anticipation, sale, transfer, assignment, bankruptcy, pledge, attachment, charge, encumbrance or garnishment by creditors of the Eligible Director or his or her Beneficiary, nor be subject in any manner to the debts or liabilities of any person, and any attempt to so alienate or subject any such amount, whether presently or thereafter payable, shall be void.
 
(d) It is the intention of the Company that this DCP shall be unfunded for Federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, this DCP constitutes a mere promise by the Company to make payments hereunder in the future, and each Eligible Director or, if applicable, his or her Beneficiary, shall have the status of a general unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to this DCP. Except as provided by the terms of any trust established pursuant to Section 9.4 of the DNB Financial Corporation Incentive Equity and Deferred Compensation Plan, neither an Eligible Director nor his or her Beneficiary shall have any right, title, or interest in or to any assets which the Company may hold to aid it in meeting its obligations hereunder. Such assets, whether held in trust or otherwise, shall be unrestricted corporate assets.

Certificates representing distributed Shares shall bear a legend reflecting such restriction.
 
(b) Distribution of an Eligible Employee’s Deferred Compensation Account shall commence upon the earlier of the following:

If the Eligible Employee does not designate an age or date pursuant to clause (ii), above, distribution of the Eligible Employee’s Deferred Compensation Account shall commence upon the occurrence of the event specified in clause (i). A single designation shall apply to the entire balance of the Eligible Employee’s Deferred Compensation Account.

However, in the case of any specified employee, no distribution shall be made as a result of his or her separation from service with the Company, within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, before the date which is six months after the date of such separation from service (or, if earlier, the date of death of the specified employee). For purposes of the preceding sentence, a “specified employee” is a key employee (as defined in Section 416(i) of the Code without regard to paragraph (5) thereof) of the Company or any entity which, along with the Company, would be considered a single employer under Section 414(b) or (c) of the Code.

If distributions are to be made in installments, the amount of each installment shall be equal to the balance of the Deferred Compensation Account as of the close of the calendar year preceding the date of distribution of the installment, divided by the number of installment payments remaining (including that installment).
 
(d) An Eligible Employee may elect to change the timing or method of distribution (or both) previously designated (or deemed designated) pursuant to Section 8(b) or 8(c), above, by submission of a new designation to the Committee, subject to the following limitations and any further limitations prescribed by Section 409A of the Code:
 
(i) no such new designation shall take effect until at least 12 months after the date on which it is made;
 
(ii) the first payment as a result of such new designation shall be made no earlier than five (5) years after the date such payment would have been made absent such new designation.
 
(e) Notwithstanding an Eligible Employee’s Salary Deferral Election, Bonus Deferral Election or Share Deferral Election, or any provision of this DCP to the contrary, upon an Eligible Employee’s separation from service with the Company, within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, the Eligible Employee’s entire Deferred Compensation Account shall be distributed in a single lump sum on or about January 15 of the calendar year following his or her separation from service if the Fair Market Value of the Deferred Compensation Account as of the close of such calendar year is not in excess of ten thousand dollars ($10,000).
 
(f) Distribution of all or a portion of an Eligible Employee’s Deferred Compensation Account shall be accelerated upon request of the Eligible Employee if the Committee determines that the Eligible Employee has experienced an unforeseeable emergency, within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. The amount to be distributed shall not exceed the amount necessary to satisfy such unforeseeable emergency plus amounts necessary to pay taxes reasonably anticipated as a result of such distribution, after taking into account the extent to
 
 
6

 
which such emergency may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise or by liquidation of the Eligible Employee’s assets (to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship).
 
(g) In the event of an Eligible Employee’s death prior to the distribution in full of his or her Deferred Compensation Account, the Beneficiary shall receive the balance of the Eligible Employee’s Deferred Compensation Account in a single lump sum as soon as practicable following the Eligible Employee’s death.
 
(h) Any amount distributed to an Eligible Employee or Beneficiary under this DCP shall be subject to all applicable tax withholdings mandated by law. To the extent necessary, the number of Shares otherwise distributable at any time shall be reduced by that number of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of tax required to be withheld in connection with such distribution.
 
9. Designation of Beneficiary.
 
(a) Each Eligible Employee shall file with the Company a written designation, in the form prescribed by the Company, of one or more persons as Beneficiary to receive the balance of the Eligible Employee’s Deferred Compensation Account upon his or her death. The Eligible Employee may, from time to time, revoke or change his or her Beneficiary designation by filing a new designation with the Company. The last such designation received by the Company shall be controlling; provided, however, that no designation, change or revocation thereof, shall be effective unless received by the Company prior to the Eligible Employee’s death.
 
(b) If no such Beneficiary designation is in effect at the time of the Eligible Employee’s death, or if no designated Beneficiary survives the Eligible Employee, the payment of the amount, if any, payable under this DCP upon his or her death shall be made to the Eligible Employee’s estate.

10. Claims Procedures.
 
(a) An Eligible Employee or, in the event of the Eligible Employee’s death, his or her Beneficiary, may file a written claim for payment hereunder with the Committee. In the event of a denial of any payment due to or requested by the Eligible Employee or Beneficiary (the “claimant”), the Committee will give the claimant written notification containing specific reasons for the denial. The written notification will contain specific reference to the pertinent provisions of this DCP on which the denial of the claim is based. In addition, it will contain a description of any other material or information necessary for the claimant to perfect a claim, and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary. The notification will provide further appropriate information as to the steps to be taken if the claimant wishes to submit the claim for review and the time limits applicable thereto, and a statement of the claimant’s right to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, if applicable. This written notification will be given to a claimant within ninety (90) days after receipt of the claim by the Committee unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim, in which case the Committee shall provide written notice of the extension to the claimant and the reasons therefore, and the date by which the Company expects to make its determination with respect to the claim. In no event shall such extension exceed 90 days.

(b) In the event of a denial of a claim for benefits, the claimant or a duly authorized representative will be permitted to submit issues and comments in writing to the Committee and to submit documents, records and other information relating to the claim for benefits. The claimant or a duly authorized representative shall also be provided, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claimant’s claim for benefits. In addition, the claimant or a duly authorized representative may make a written request for a full and fair review of the claim and its denial by the Committee that takes into account all comments, documents, records and other information submitted by the claimant, without regard to whether such information was submitted or considered in the initial benefits determination; provided, however, that such written request is received by the Commitee (or its delegate) within sixty (60) days after receipt by the claimant of written notification of the denial. The sixty (60) day requirement may be waived by the Committee in appropriate cases.
 
(c) A decision on review of a claim for benefits will be rendered by the Commitee within sixty (60) days after the receipt of the request. Under special circumstances, an extension (up to an additional 60 days) can be granted for processing the decision. Notice of this extension must be provided in writing to the claimant prior to the expiration of the initial sixty-day period. In no event will the decision be rendered more than one hundred twenty (120) days after the initial request for review. Any decision by the Commitee will be furnished to the claimant in writing and will set forth the specific reasons for the decision and the specific provisions on which the decision is based. The claimant or a duly authorized representative shall also be provided, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claimant’s claim for benefits.
 
11. Amendment or Termination.
 
The Board reserves the right at any time to amend this DCP in whole or in part, retroactively or prospectively, for any reason and without the consent of any Eligible Employee or Beneficiary, provided that no amendment may adversely affect the rights of an Eligible Employee or a Beneficiary with respect to amounts credited to the Eligible Employee’s Deferred Compensation Account prior to such amendment or alter the timing of distribution of any Eligible Employee’s Deferred Compensation Account. The Board reserves the right at any time to terminate this DCP. Upon termination of this DCP, (a) all Elections with respect to the deferral of future Compensation shall terminate as of the date specified by the Board, but not before the earliest time permitted under Section 409A of the Code; and (b) the Deferred Compensation Account of each Eligible Employee shall be distributed at such time or times as it would have been distributed in the absence of termination, unless the Board, in its discretion, elects to distribute the Deferred Compensation Accounts of all Eligible Employees in some other manner but in no event prior to the earliest time permitted under Section 409A of the Code.

12. Miscellaneous.
 
(a) Nothing contained in this DCP shall give the Eligible Employee the right to be retained in the employ or other service of the Company.
 
(b) If the Company shall find that any person to whom any amount is payable under this DCP is unable to care for his affairs because of illness or accident, or is a minor, the Company may direct that any amount to which such person is entitled be paid to his or her spouse, a child, a relative, an institution maintaining or having custody of such person, or any other person deemed by the Company to be a proper recipient on behalf of such person otherwise entitled to payment. Any such payment shall be a complete discharge of the liability of the DCP and the Company therefor.
 
(c) Except insofar as may otherwise be required by law, no amount payable at any time under this DCP shall be subject in any manner to alienation by anticipation, sale, transfer, assignment, bankruptcy, pledge, attachment, charge, encumbrance or garnishment by creditors of the Eligible Employee or his or her Beneficiary, nor be subject in any manner to the debts or liabilities of any person, and any attempt to so alienate or subject any such amount, whether presently or thereafter payable, shall be void.
 
(d) It is the intention of the Company that this DCP shall be unfunded for Federal income tax purposes and for purposes of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. Accordingly, this DCP constitutes a mere promise by the Company to make payments hereunder in the future, and each Eligible Employee or, if applicable, his or her Beneficiary, shall have the status of a general unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to this DCP. Except as provided by the terms of any trust established pursuant to Section 9.4 of the DNB Financial Corporation Incentive Equity and Deferred Compensation Plan, neither an Eligible Employee nor his or her Beneficiary shall have any right, title, or interest in or to any assets which the Company may hold to aid it in meeting its obligations hereunder. Such assets, whether held in trust or otherwise, shall be unrestricted corporate assets.
