(14) BENEFIT PLANS

Pension Plan The Bank maintains a defined benefit pension plan (the "Plan") covering all employees, including officers, who have been employed for one year and have attained 21 years of age. Prior to May 1, 1985, an individual must have attained the age of 25 and accrued one year of service. The Plan provides pension benefits to eligible retired employees at 65 years of age equal to 1.5% of their average monthly pay multiplied by their years of accredited service (maximum 40 years). The accrued benefit is based on the monthly average of their highest five consecutive years of their last ten years of service. The Plan generally covers only full-time employees.

Effective December 31, 2003, DNB amended its Plan to curtail future eligibility and so that no participants will earn additional benefits under the Plan after December 31, 2003. As a result of this amendment, no further service or compensation was credited under the Plan after December 31, 2003. The Plan, although frozen, will continue to provide benefit payments and employees can still earn vesting credits until retirement.

The following table sets forth the Plan's funded status, as of the measurement dates of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and amounts recognized in DNB's consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2011 and 2010:

Retirement and Death Benefit Agreement On November 24, 1999, the Bank and Henry F. Thorne, its then current Chief Executive Officer (the "Executive"), entered into a Death Benefit Agreement providing for supplemental death and retirement benefits for him (the "Supplemental Plan"). On December 23, 2003, the Supplemental Plan was replaced by a Retirement and Death Benefit Agreement (the "Replacement Plan").

The Replacement Plan provides that the Bank and the Executive share in the rights to the cash surrender value and death benefits of a split-dollar life insurance policy (the "Policy") The policy is designed to provide the Executive, upon attaining age 65, with projected annual after-tax payments of approximately $35,000. In addition, the Policy is intended to provide the Executive with a projected death benefit of $750,000.

In July 2008, DNB commenced making monthly payments of $3,658 to the Executive. The remaining liability under the plan was $730,000 and $740,000 as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The annual expense for the same respective periods was $41,000 and $44,000.

Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan for Chairman and Chief Executive Officer On December 20, 2006, the Board of Directors of DNB Financial Corporation approved, and effective April 1, 2007 and December 8, 2008 modified, a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (also known as a SERP) for its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, William S. Latoff. The purpose of the SERP is to provide Mr. Latoff a pension supplement beginning at age 70 for 15 years in approximately equal amounts each year and to compensate him for the loss of retirement plan funding opportunities from his other business interests because of his commitments to DNB as Chairman and CEO.

The remaining liability under the plan was $1.1 million and $1.1 million as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The annual expense for the same respective periods was $63,000 and $60,000.

401(k) Retirement Savings Plan In 1994, the Bank adopted a retirement savings plan intended to comply with Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. Participants are permitted to authorize pre-tax savings contributions to a separate trust established under the 401(k) plan, subject to limitations on deductibility of contributions imposed by the Internal Revenue Code. Effective July 1, 2007 the Bank amended the plan to allow after-tax contributions to be made as well. The contributions are subject to the same limitations. Effective January 1, 2010, management indicated that it would evaluate discretionary matching contributions each quarter based upon DNB's financial performance. DNB had no matching contributions to the 401(k) plan in 2011 and 2010.

Profit Sharing Plan The Bank maintains a Profit Sharing Plan for eligible employees. The plan provides that the Bank make contributions equal to 3% of the eligible participant's W-2 wages. DNB's related expense associated with the Profit Sharing Plan was $219,000 and $216,000 in 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Stock Option Plan DNB has a Stock Option Plan for employees and directors. Under the plan, options (both qualified and non-qualified) to purchase a maximum of 643,369 (as adjusted for subsequent stock dividends) shares of DNB's common stock could be issued to employees and directors.

Under the plan, option exercise prices must equal the fair market value of the shares on the date of option grant and the option exercise period may not exceed ten years. Vesting of options under the plan is determined by the Plan Committee. There were 156,144 and 189,007 shares available for grant at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. All options with the exception of 44,600 options granted on April 23, 2010 and 44,600 options granted on December 12, 2011 are immediately exercisable. The options granted on April 23, 2010 have a fair value of $100,000 or $2.25 per share, based on a risk free interest rate of 3.273%, a dividend yield of 1.73% and a volatility of 35.564% and are subject to four year cliff vesting. These options which expire on April 23, 2017 if not exercised or cancelled, have an exercise price of $6.93 per share, and the shares are restricted from resale for two years after exercise. These options are exercisable only at and after such time as the market value of the common stock first equals or exceeds $7.97, which is 115% of the $6.93 exercise price. The options granted on December 12, 2011 have a fair value of $141,000 or $3.17 per share, based on a risk free interest rate of 1.445%, a dividend yield of 1.16% and a volatility of 36.513% and are subject to three year cliff vesting. These options which expire on December 12, 2018 if not exercised or cancelled, have an exercise price of $10.31 per share, and the shares are restricted from resale for two years after exercise. These options are exercisable only at and after such time as the market value of the common stock first equals or exceeds $11.34, which is 110% of the $10.31 exercise price. DNB expensed $27,000 and $17,000 during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively and anticipates additional expense of $57,000 through April 23, 2014 for the options granted on April 23, 2010 and $139,000 through December 12, 2014 for the options granted on December 12, 2011, the dates the options can first be exercised.

Other Stock-Based Compensation DNB maintains an Incentive Equity and Deferred Compensation Plan. The plan provides that up to 243,101 (as adjusted for subsequent stock dividends) shares of common stock may be granted, at the discretion of the Board, to individuals of DNB. Shares already granted are issuable on the earlier of three years after the date of the grant or a change in control of DNB if the recipients are then employed by DNB ("Vest Date"). Upon issuance of the shares, resale of the shares is restricted for an additional one year, during which the shares may not be sold, pledged or otherwise disposed of. Prior to the Vest Date and in the event the recipient terminates association with DNB for reasons other than death, disability or change in control, the recipient forfeits all rights to the shares that would otherwise be issued under the grant.

Share awards granted by the plan were recorded at the date of award based on the market value of shares. Awards are being amortized to expense over the three-year cliff-vesting period. DNB records compensation expense equal to the value of the shares being amortized. For the twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, $61,000 and $121,000 was amortized to expense. At December 31, 2011, approximately $195,000 in additional compensation will be recognized over the weighted average remaining service period of approximately 2.67 years. At December 31, 2011, 177,424 shares were reserved for future grants under the plan. Stock grant activity is indicated below.
