NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE
1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of DNB Financial
Corporation (referred to herein as the "Corporation" or "DNB") and its
subsidiary, DNB First, National Association (the "Bank") have been prepared
in
accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and therefore do not include
certain information or footnotes necessary for the presentation of financial
condition, statement of operations and statement of cash flows required by
generally accepted accounting principles. However, in the opinion of management,
the consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (which consist
of
normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results
for the unaudited periods. Prior amounts not affecting net income are
reclassified when necessary to conform with current period classifications.
The
results of operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006, are
not necessarily indicative of the results, which may be expected for the entire
year. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the Annual Report and report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.
Included among such items was the reclassification of certain investments from
held-to-maturity securities to other investment securities.
Stock-based
compensation
Prior
to
January 1, 2006, SFAS Statement No. 123 (“SFAS 123”),
Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation
,
permitted entities to recognize as expense over the vesting period, the fair
value of all stock-based awards on the date of grant. Alternatively, SFAS 123
also allowed entities to continue to apply the provisions of the Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (“APB Opinion No. 25”),
Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees
,
and
related interpretations and provide pro-forma net income and pro-forma earnings
per share disclosures for employee stock option grants made in 1995 and
subsequent years as if the fair-value-based method defined in SFAS 123 had
been
applied. DNB elected to apply the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and provide
the pro-forma disclosure provisions of SFAS 123. As such, there was no
compensation expense recorded prior to 2006. Additionally, all options were
granted at the then current market price.
Effective
January 1, 2006, DNB adopted SFAS 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment
(“SFAS 123R”), which requires DNB to measure the cost of employee services
received in exchange for all equity awards granted including stock options
based
on the fair market value of the award as of the grant date. SFAS 123R supersedes
SFAS 123 and APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees. SFAS 123R requires DNB to record compensation expense related to
unvested stock awards as of December 31, 2005 by recognizing the
unamortized grant date fair value of these awards over the remaining service
periods of those awards. DNB had no unamortized stock option awards at
December 31, 2005 as all stock options issued prior to December 31, 2005
were fully vested. Additionally, DNB did not issue any stock awards during
the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2006. As a result, there was no
compensation expense recorded during the three-month or nine-month periods
ended
September 30, 2006. DNB issued 5,250 and 48,825 stock option awards for the
three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2005. The pro-forma disclosure
of stock- based compensation expense related to 2005 is presented

DNB
FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE
2: EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic
earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed based on the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential
dilution that could occur from the conversion of common stock equivalents and
is
computed using the treasury stock method. The difference between basic and
diluted EPS, for DNB, is attributable to stock options and restricted stock
awards. Stock options and restricted stock awards for which the exercise price
exceeds the average market price over the period have an anti-dilutive effect
on
EPS and, accordingly, are excluded from the calculation. At September 30, 2006,
there were 119,182
anti-dilutive
stock options outstanding as well as 15,089
anti-dilutive
stock awards. At September 30, 2005,
there
were 120,000
anti-dilutive
stock options outstanding as well as 17,000
anti-dilutive
stock awards.
EPS,
dividends per share, and weighted average shares outstanding have been adjusted
to reflect the effect of the 5% stock dividend in 2005.
The
dilutive effect of stock options on basic earnings per share is presented below.

5: JUNIOR SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES
DNB
has
two issuances of junior subordinated debentures (the "debentures") as follows.
The majority of the proceeds of each issuance were invested in DNB’s subsidiary,
DNB First, National Association, to increase the Bank's capital levels. The
junior subordinated debentures issued in each case qualify as a component of
capital for regulatory purposes.
DNB
Capital Trust I
DNB’s
first issuance of junior subordinated debentures was on July 20, 2001. This
issuance of debentures are floating rate and were issued to DNB Capital Trust
I,
a Delaware business trust in which DNB owns all of the common equity. DNB
Capital Trust I issued $5.0 million of floating rate (6 month Libor plus 3.75%,
with a cap of 12%) capital preferred securities to a qualified institutional
buyer. The proceeds of these securities were used by the Trust, along with
DNB's
capital contribution, to purchase $5,155,000 principal amount of DNB's floating
rate junior subordinated debentures. The preferred securities are redeemable
by
DNB on or after July 25, 2006, or earlier in the event of certain adverse tax
or
bank regulatory developments. The preferred securities must be redeemed upon
maturity of the debentures on July 25, 2031.
DNB
Capital Trust II
DNB’s
second issuance of junior subordinated debentures was on March 30, 2005. This
issuance of debentures are floating rate and were issued to DNB Capital Trust
II, a Delaware business trust in which DNB owns all of the common equity. DNB
Capital Trust II issued $4.0 million of floating rate (the rate is fixed at
6.56% for the first 5 years and will adjust at a rate of 3-month LIBOR plus
1.77% thereafter) capital preferred securities. The proceeds of these securities
were used by the Trust, along with DNB's capital contribution, to purchase
$4.1
million principal amount of DNB's floating rate junior subordinated debentures.
The preferred securities are redeemable by DNB on or after May 23, 2010, or
earlier in the event of certain adverse tax or bank regulatory developments.
The
preferred securities must be redeemed upon maturity of the debentures on May
23,
2035.
NOTE
6: RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In
February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “
Accounting
for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments.”
This
Statement amends FASB Statements No. 133 and No. 140. This Statement resolves
issues addressed in Statement 133 Implementation Issue No. D1,
"Application
of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial
Assets.”
This
Statement: a) permits fair value
DNB
FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
remeasurement
for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that
otherwise would require bifurcation; b) clarifies which interest-only strips
and
principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of Statement 133;
c)
establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets
to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid
financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation;
d) clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination
are
not embedded derivatives; and e) amends Statement 140 to eliminate the
prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative
financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another
derivative financial instrument.
This
Statement is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after
the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after September
15,
2006. The fair value election provided for in paragraph 4(c) of this Statement
may also be applied upon adoption of this Statement for hybrid financial
instruments that had been bifurcated under paragraph 12 of Statement 133 prior
to the adoption of this Statement. Earlier adoption is permitted as of the
beginning of an entity's fiscal year, provided the entity has not yet issued
financial statements, including financial statements for any interim period
for
that fiscal year. Provisions of this Statement may be applied to instruments
that an entity holds at the date of adoption on an instrument-by-instrument
basis. The Company has not yet determined whether this Statement will have
a
material impact on their consolidated financial statements upon
adoption.
In
July
2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48,
“Accounting
for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109
(FIN 48)
.
This interpretation of SFAS No. 109 prescribes a recognition threshold and
measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement
of
a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This
interpretation also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification,
interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and
transition. The interpretation is effective for fiscal
years
beginning after December 15, 2006. The Corporation has reserves related to
certain of its tax positions, which would be subject to analysis under FIN
48. The Corporation has not yet determined the impact on its Consolidated
Financial Statements, if any, that would result as a consequence of adopting
this interpretation in 2007.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. The
statement defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an
asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants at the measurement date. The statement also establishes a framework
for measuring fair value by creating a three-level fair value hierarchy that
ranks the quality and reliability of information used to determine fair value,
and requires new disclosures of assets and liabilities measured at fair value
based on their level in the hierarchy. The statement is effective for the Bank
on January 1, 2008. The Corporation does not expect the adoption of this
statement to have a material impact on its financial position or results of
operations.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined
Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plan” (“SFAS 158”). SFAS 158 requires
an employer to recognize on their balance sheet the funded status of its defined
pension plans and other post-retirement plans as of December 31, 2006. An
under-funded position would create a liability and an over-funded position
would
create an asset, with a correlating deferred tax asset or liability. The net
impact would be an adjustment to equity as accumulated other comprehensive
income (loss.) Employers must also recognize as a component of other
comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, the actuarial gains and losses and
the
prior service costs and credits that arise during the period. The Corporation
has not completed its assessment of SFAS 158 but anticipates recording a
reduction to Shareholders’ Equity in Net Other Comprehensive Loss during the
fourth quarter of 2006.
In
September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when
Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements (“SAB 108”). This
guidance was issued to resolve diversity in current practice among registrants.
The bulletin establishes that registrants must quantify the impact of correcting
all misstatements on the financial statements by using both the rollover and
iron curtain approaches to evaluate the errors. The rollover approach quantifies
the misstatement based on the amount of the error originating in the current
year income statement and the iron curtain approach quantifies a misstatement
based on the amount of the error existing in the balance sheet at the end of
the
fiscal year. The bulletin contains guidance on correcting errors under the
dual
approach and transition guidance. SAB 108 is effective for the Company’s
December 31, 2006 annual financial statements. The Corporation does not expect
the adoption of SAB 108 to have a material impact on its financial position
or
results of operations.

7: STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
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 583,554 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 90,187 and 82,406 options available for grant at September 30, 2006
and December 31, 2005, respectively.
Prior
to
January 1, 2006, DNB applied APB Opinion No. 25 in accounting for its Stock
Option Plan, and accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for
its
stock options in the financial statements. All stock options issued by DNB
prior
to January 1, 2006 vested immediately and the related expense was reported
in
the period issued as a pro-forma disclosure of stock-based compensation expense.
Because all options issued prior to January 1, 2006 vested immediately, DNB
had
no unamortized stock option awards at December 31, 2005. Additionally, DNB
did not issue any stock awards during the nine-month period ended September
30,
2006. As a result, there was no compensation expense recorded during the period.
DNB issued 5,250 and 48,825 stock option awards for the three and nine-month
periods ended September 30, 2005. For periods where stock options have been
issued, DNB utilizes a Black-Scholes option valuation model.

Restricted
Stock Awards
DNB
maintains an Incentive Equity and Deferred Compensation Plan. The plan provides
that up to 220,500 (as adjusted for subsequent stock dividends) shares of common
stock may be granted, at the discretion of the Board, to individuals of the
Company. DNB did not grant any shares of restricted stock during the nine-month
period ended September 30, 2006. 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 two years, 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 three and nine-month periods ended
September 30, 2006, $33,000 and $101,000 was amortized to expense. As of
September 30, 2006 the $218,000 unrecognized compensation expense related to
restricted stock awards and the expense is expected to be recognized over 1.67
years. There were 17,514 stock awards granted in May 2005. At September 30,
2006, 205,412 shares were reserved for future grants under the plan.

8: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
As
discussed in the Company’s S-8 filed on October 25, 2006, the Company
established, 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. 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.
DESCRIPTION
OF DNB'S BUSINESS AND BUSINESS STRATEGY
DNB
Financial Corporation is a bank holding company whose bank subsidiary, DNB
First, National Association (the “Bank”) is a nationally chartered commercial
bank with trust powers, and a member of the Federal Reserve System. Its deposits
are insured by the FDIC. DNB provides a broad range of banking services to
individual and corporate customers through its twelve community offices located
throughout Chester and Delaware Counties, Pennsylvania. DNB is a community
banking organization that focuses its lending and other services on businesses
and consumers in the local market area. DNB funds all these activities with
retail and business deposits and borrowings. Through its DNB Advisors division,
the Bank provides wealth management and trust services to individuals and
businesses. The Bank and its subsidiary, DNB Financial Services, Inc. through
the name “DNB Financial Services,” make available certain non-depository
products and services, such as securities brokerage, mutual funds, life
insurance and annuities.
DNB
earns
revenues and generates cash flows by lending funds to commercial and consumer
customers in its marketplace. DNB generates its largest source of interest
income through its lending function. Another source of interest income is
derived from DNB’s investment portfolio, which provides liquidity and cash flows
for future lending needs.
In
addition to interest earned on loans and investments, DNB earns revenues from
fees it charges customers for non-lending services. These services include
wealth management and trust services; brokerage and investment services; cash
management services; banking and ATM services; as well as safekeeping and other
depository services.
To
implement the culture changes necessary at DNB First to become an innovative
community bank capable of meeting challenges of the 21st century, we embarked
on
a strategy called "Loyalty, Bank On It." In recognizing the importance of
loyalty in our everyday lives, we have embraced this concept as the cornerstone
of DNB First's new culture. To that end, DNB continues to make appropriate
investments in all areas of our business, including people, technology,
facilities and marketing.
Comprehensive
5-Year Plan.
During
2003, management developed a strategic 5-year plan designed to reposition its
balance sheet and improve core earnings. As part of the plan, management
announced its intentions to substantially reduce the size of its investment
portfolio and expand its loan portfolio through new originations, increased
loan
participations, as well as strategic loan and lease receivable purchases.
Management also planned a reduction in the absolute level of borrowings with
cash flows from existing loans and investments as well as from new core deposit
growth. A detailed discussion on DNB’s progress follows below.
Investment
Portfolio Restructure.
As
part
of its previously announced balance sheet repositioning, DNB took advantage
of
the rate environment to restructure a significant portion of its investment
securities portfolio. In March 2005, DNB sold $73.3 million of structured
securities, government agency preferred stock, longer-term municipal securities,
as well as corporate securities. The majority of the proceeds received on the
sale of these investments were re-invested into higher yielding agency
mortgage-backed securities, agency bonds and municipal securities. Management
believed that the restructured portfolio would result in more stable earnings
and cash flow, as well as improved value metrics.
Continued
Progress in Balance Sheet Repositioning.
DNB
decreased its investment portfolio, grew its loan portfolio and increased
deposits in a continuing effort to strengthen its balance sheet during the
first
nine months in 2006. During this time, the investment portfolio decreased $11.5
million or by 8.0% and loans increased $46.7 million or by 16.2%. Commercial
loans increased $25.7 million, residential loans increased $13.1 million, and
consumer loans increases $7.7 million. In addition, DNB increased its deposit
base by $30.3 million and added $6.8 million in customer repurchase
agreements.
DNB’s
financial objectives are focused on earnings per diluted share growth and return
on average equity. In order to achieve its financial objectives, DNB defined
the
following strategies as part of the 5-Year Plan:
•
Grow
loans and diversify the mix
•
Reduce
the size of the investment portfolio
•
Reduce
long-term borrowings
•
Enhance
the branch network and alternative delivery options
•
Focus
on profitable customer segments
•
Grow
and diversify non-interest income
Management’s
strategies are designed to direct DNB’s tactical investment decisions and
support financial objectives. DNB’s most significant revenue source continues to
be net interest income, defined as total interest income less interest expense,
which through the nine months ended September 30, 2006 accounted for
approximately 81% of total revenue. To produce net interest income and
consistent earnings growth over the long-term, DNB must generate loan and
deposit growth at acceptable economic spreads within its market area. To
generate and grow loans and deposits, DNB must focus on a number of areas
including, but not limited to, the
economy,
branch expansion, sales practices, customer satisfaction and retention,
competition, customer behavior, technology, product innovation and credit
performance of its customers.
Management
has made a concerted effort to improve the measurement and tracking of business
lines and overall corporate performance levels. Improved information systems
have increased DNB’s ability to track key indicators and enhance corporate
performance levels. Better measurement against goals and objectives and
increased accountability will be integral in attaining desired loan, deposit
and
fee income production.
RECENT
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTS
There
are
at least three widely acknowledged areas of near-term concern that could pose
risks to the local and national economies going forward: a spike in energy
prices, a decline in home prices, and a retrenchment in consumer spending
arising from record consumer indebtedness. The consequences that any of these
developments might have for economic growth could range from modest to severe,
depending on how events transpire over the next few years.
Energy
Prices.
With
time
the economy should be able to adjust to higher energy prices, but in the short
run, any supply-disrupting events, including labor strikes, severe weather,
or
terrorism, may cause energy prices to jump. By varying degrees, these spikes
would be likely to weigh on overall economic growth while adding volatility
to
the outlook. Moreover, this risk is likely to continue for several more years,
given the long lags required to add new energy production capacity and
expectations for continued global growth in energy demand.
Home
Prices.
The
risk
of a housing slowdown is another area of concern going forward. The recent
housing boom has been unprecedented in modern U.S. history. It has been
suggested by many analysts that the housing boom has been a significant
contributor to gains in consumer spending in recent years. Because consumer
spending accounts for over two-thirds of U.S. economic activity, any shock
to
consumer spending, such as that which might be caused by a housing slowdown,
is
a concern to overall economic growth.
Consumer
Spending.
A
large,
long-term increase in consumer indebtedness has raised concerns that the next
U.S. recession could originate in the household sector. The housing boom of
recent years has resulted in a surge in new consumer debt, most of it in the
form of mortgages. Consumers have gradually become more indebted over time
- so
much so that they are now spending more in aggregate than they earn. Home prices
will not boom forever. Even a moderation in home-price growth would reduce
the
amount of new home equity added to the economy each year. This slower
accumulation of wealth, coupled with rising interest rates that increase the
cost of tapping that wealth, could soon begin to curtail the pace of U.S.
consumer spending growth. Just as there has been a positive wealth effect from
soaring home prices in recent years, the concern is that an end to the housing
boom could result in a slowdown in consumer spending growth.
MATERIAL
CHALLENGES, RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES
The
following is a summary of changes to material challenges, risks and
opportunities DNB has faced during the nine-month period ended September 30,
2006.
Interest
Rate Risk Management.
Interest
rate risk is the exposure to adverse changes in net interest income due to
changes in interest rates. DNB considers interest rate risk the predominant
risk
in terms of its potential impact on earnings. Interest rate risk can occur
for
any one or more of the following reasons: (a) assets and liabilities may mature
or re-price at different times; (b) short-term or long-term market rates may
change by different amounts; or (c) the remaining maturity of various assets
or
liabilities may shorten or lengthen as interest rates change.
The
principal objective of the Bank’s interest rate risk management is to evaluate
the interest rate risk included in certain on and off balance sheet accounts,
determine the level of risk appropriate given the Bank’s business strategy,
operating environment, capital and liquidity requirements and performance
objectives, and manage the risk consistent with approved guidelines. The Bank’s
Asset Liability Committee (the “ALCO”) is responsible for reviewing the Bank’s
asset/liability policies and interest rate risk position and making decisions
involving asset liability considerations. The ALCO meets on a monthly basis
and
reports trends and the Bank’s interest rate risk position to the Board of
Directors. The extent of the movement of interest rates is an uncertainty that
could have a negative impact on the earnings of the Bank.
The
largest component of DNB’s total income is net interest income, and the majority
of DNB’s financial instruments are comprised of interest rate-sensitive assets
and liabilities with various terms and maturities. The primary objective of
management is to maximize net interest income while minimizing interest rate
risk. Interest rate risk is derived from timing differences in the re-pricing
of
assets
and
liabilities, loan prepayments, deposit withdrawals, and differences in lending
and funding rates. The Asset/Liability Committee (“ALCO”) actively seeks to
monitor and control the mix of in-terest rate-sensitive assets and interest
rate-sensitive -liabilities.
One
measure of interest rate risk is net interest income simulation analysis. The
ALCO utilizes simulation analysis, whereby the model estimates the variance
in
net interest income with a change in interest rates of plus or minus 300 basis
points over a twelve-month period. Given today’s rising interest rate
environment, our simulation model measures the effect that a 100 through 300
basis point increase in rates or the effect a 100 basis point decline would
have
on earnings. As of September 30, 2006, simulations indicate that net interest
income would be within policy guidelines regardless of the direction of market
rates.
Liquidity
and Market Risk Management.
Liquidity
is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations. The Bank
further defines liquidity as the ability to respond to deposit outflows as
well
as maintain flexibility to take advantage of lending and investment
opportunities. The Bank’s primary sources of funds are operating earnings,
deposits, principal and interest payments on loans, proceeds from loan sales,
sales and maturities of mortgage-backed and investment securities, and FHLB
advances. The Bank uses the funds generated to support its lending and
investment activities as well as any other demands for liquidity such as deposit
outflows. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities
are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows, mortgage prepayments, loan
and
security sales and the exercise of call features are greatly influenced by
general interest rates, economic conditions and competition.
The
objective of DNB’s asset/liability management function is to maintain consistent
growth in net interest income within DNB’s policy limits. This objective is
accomplished through the management of liquidity and interest rate risk, as
well
as customer offerings of various loan and deposit products. DNB maintains
adequate liquidity to meet daily funding requirements, anticipated deposit
withdrawals, or asset opportunities in a timely manner. Liquidity is also
necessary to meet obligations during unusual, extraordinary or adverse operating
circumstances, while avoiding a significant loss or cost. DNB’s foundation for
liquidity is a stable deposit base as well as a marketable investment portfolio
that provides cash flow through regular maturities or that can be used for
collateral to secure funding in an emergency.
Credit
Risk Management.
DNB
defines credit risk as the risk of default by a customer or counter-party.
The
objective of DNB’s credit risk management strategy is to quantify and manage
credit risk on an aggregate portfolio basis as well as to limit the risk of
loss
resulting from an individual customer default. Credit risk is managed through
a
combination of underwriting, documentation and collection standards. DNB’s
credit risk management strategy calls for regular credit examinations and
quarterly management reviews of large credit exposures and credits experiencing
credit quality deterioration. DNB’s loan review procedures provide objective
assessments of the quality of underwriting, documentation, risk grading and
charge-off procedures, as well as an assessment of the allowance for credit
loss
reserve analysis process.
Competition.
In
addition to the challenges related to the interest rate environment, community
banks in Chester County have been experiencing increased competition from large
regional and international banks entering DNB’s marketplace through mergers and
acquisitions. Competition for loans and deposits has negatively affected DNB’s
net interest margin. To compensate for the increased competition, DNB, like
other area community banks, has aggressively sought and marketed customers
who
have been disenfranchised by these mergers. To attract these customers, DNB
has
introduced new deposit products, such as the Partnership Banking Program, the
“Platinum” Account, the Executive and employee package as well as the Business
Package. In addition, DNB has introduced Market Managers and Personal Bankers
to
serve the special banking needs of its clients. DNB is dedicated to implementing
the culture changes necessary to become an innovative community bank capable
of
meeting challenges of the 21st century. As such, we embarked on a strategy
called "Loyalty, Bank On It." To recognize the importance of loyalty in our
everyday lives, we have embraced this concept as the cornerstone of DNB First's
new culture. To that end, DNB continues to make appropriate investments in
all
areas of our business, including people, technology, facilities and
marketing.
Bank
Secrecy Act/OFAC/Patriot Act Implementation.
Management
of the Bank had previously determined that its BSA compliance program needed
to
be improved to a level commensurate with BSA, OFAC and Patriot Act related
risks
to which the Bank is exposed. An action plan was developed to strengthen the
Bank’s compliance with the goal of completing it by the end of the third quarter
of 2006. The action plan includes assessing the Bank’s customer base for
high-risk activity, and expanding and augmenting policies and procedures to
establish protocols with respect to identification, evaluation and compliance
responses to certain types of potentially high-risk individuals. Additionally,
the Bank has strengthened training and now further involves its front-line
personnel in this process. The Bank’s management has increased the frequency
with which it reports BSA compliance program activity to its board of directors
and continues to focus its board of directors more frequently and more
thoroughly on BSA compliance program requirements, including the identification
of high-risk customers and the processes the Bank uses to evaluate and monitor
them. The Bank has and will continue to formalize, structure and document
compliance in a more disciplined way, including more stringent policies and
formal periodic review. The Bank has taken a more aggressive posture in
identifying customers and transactions that are potentially subject to the
filing of Suspicious Activity Reports (“SARs”) and in appropriate cases expects
to file SARs. The Bank has and will continue to improve its management
information systems to improve identification, evaluation and reporting of
certain types of high risk or suspicious transactions and activities. The Bank
will be augmenting its BSA compliance staff. Management has and
will
continue to strengthen its day-to-day audit processes to more effectively
validate and test the Bank’s BSA compliance program procedures and records. It
is management’s goal that the planned improvements to the BSA compliance program
will be completed in 2006 and will address the Bank’s BSA compliance needs, in
order to establish the Bank as an institution that will not pose a target to
those who would use the U.S. financial system to further criminal or terroristic
ends.
Deposit
Insurance Reform Act of 2005.
Pursuant
to the Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005, the FDIC merged the Bank
Insurance Fund (BIF) and Savings Insurance Fund (SAIF) to form the Deposit
Insurance Fund (DIF) effective March 31, 2006.
On
April
1, 2006, the FDIC issued an interim rule, made final in September 2006, to
implement the deposit insurance coverage changes of the Federal Deposit
Insurance Reform Act of 2005. The rule: (1) increases the deposit insurance
limit for certain retirement plan deposits to $250,000 effective April 1, 2006
(the basic insurance limit for other depositors such as individuals, joint
accountholders, businesses, government entities and trusts remains at $100,000),
(2) provides per-participant insurance coverage to employee benefit plan
accounts, even if the depository institution at which the deposits are placed
is
not authorized to accept employee benefit plan deposits and (3) allows the
FDIC
to consider inflation adjustments to increase the insurance limits for all
deposit accounts every five years, beginning in 2010.
On
November 2, 2006, the FDIC set the designated reserve ratio for the deposit
insurance fund at 1.25% of estimated insured deposits, and adopted final
regulations to implement the risk-based deposit insurance assessment system
mandated by the Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005, which is intended to
more
closely tie each bank's deposit insurance assessments to the risk it poses
to
the deposit insurance fund. Under the new risk-based assessment system, the
FDIC
will evaluate each institution's risk based on three primary factors --
supervisory ratings for all insured institution, financial ratios for most
institutions, and long-term debt issuer ratings for large institutions that
have
them. An institution’s assessment rate will depend upon the level of risk it
poses to the deposit insurance system as measured by these factors. The new
rates for most institutions will vary between 5 and 7 cents for every $100 of
domestic insurable deposits.
The
new
assessment rates will take effect at the beginning of 2007. However, the Deposit
Insurance Reform Act of 2005 provides credits to institutions that paid high
premiums in the past to bolster the FDIC's insurance reserves, as a result
of
which the FDIC has announced that a majority of banks will have assessment
credits to initially offset all of their premiums in 2007. Management does
not
believe it is possible at this time to reliably estimate the net assessment
cost, if any that may be imposed on the Bank. There are a number of uncertain
factors that could affect the assessment rate that the FDIC will decide to
apply
to the Bank and the actual assessment credit that will be available to the
Bank
in 2007.
Material
Trends and Uncertainties.
The
industry is experiencing an on-going and widespread trend of consolidation
in
response to shrinking margins, as well as competitive and economic challenges.
In an effort to broaden market share by capitalizing on operational
efficiencies, larger institutions have been acquiring smaller regional and
community banks and thrifts. Chester County has witnessed many recent mergers
due to attractive demographics, commercial expansion and other growth
indicators. As a result of these factors, the operating environment is very
competitive as Chester County hosts over 45 banks, thrifts and credit unions.
In
addition, brokerage firms, mutual fund companies and boutique investment firms
are prevalent, given the county’s attractive demographics. This intense
competition continually puts pressures on DNB’s margins and operating results as
competitors offer a full range of loan, deposit and investment products and
services. In addition, many of these competitors are much larger than DNB and
consistently outspend the Bank in marketing to attract new customers and buy
market share. DNB anticipates these pressures will continue and management
will
continue to work to mitigate adverse effects on operating results.
Other
Material Challenges, Risks and Opportunities.
As a
financial institution, DNB's earnings are significantly affected by general
business and economic conditions. These conditions include short-term and
long-term interest rates, inflation, monetary supply, fluctuations in both
debt
and equity capital markets, and the strength of the United States economy and
local economics in which we operate. For example, an economic downturn, increase
in unemployment, or other events that negatively impact household and/or
corporate incomes could decrease the demand for DNB's loan and non-loan products
and services and increase the number of customers who fail to pay interest
or
principal on their loans. Geopolitical conditions can also affect DNB's
earnings. Acts or threats of terrorism, actions taken by the United States
or
other governments in response to acts or threats of terrorism and our military
conflicts including the aftermath of the war with Iraq, could impact business
conditions in the United States.
CRITICAL
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The
following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of
operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have
been
prepared in accordance with accounting principals generally accepted in the
United States of America. Generally accepted accounting principles are complex
and require management to apply significant judgment to various accounting,
reporting and disclosure matters. Management must use assumptions and estimates
to apply these principles where actual measurement is not possible or practical.
Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions
or
conditions.
In
management's opinion, the most critical accounting policies and estimates
impacting DNB's consolidated financial statements are listed below. These
policies are critical because they are highly dependent upon subjective or
complex judgments, assumptions and estimates. Changes in such estimates may
have
a significant impact on the financial statements. For a complete discussion
of
DNB's significant accounting policies, see the footnotes to the Consolidated
Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, included
in
DNB's 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.
Determination
of the allowance for credit losses
.
Credit
loss allowance policies involve significant judgments and assumptions by
management which may have a material impact on the carrying value of net loans
and leases and, potentially, on the net income recognized by DNB from period
to
period. The allowance for credit losses is based on management’s ongoing
evaluation of the loan and lease portfolio and reflects an amount considered
by
management to be its best estimate of the amount necessary to absorb known
and
inherent losses in the portfolio. Management considers a variety of factors
when
establishing the allowance, such as the impact of current economic conditions,
diversification of the portfolios, delinquency statistics, results of loan
review and related classifications, and historic loss rates. In addition,
certain individual loans which management has identified as problematic are
specifically provided for, based upon an evaluation of the borrower’s perceived
ability to pay, the estimated adequacy of the underlying collateral and other
relevant factors. In addition, regulatory authorities, as an integral part
of
their examinations, periodically review the allowance for credit losses. They
may require additions to the allowance based upon their judgments about
information available to them at the time of examination. Although provisions
have been established and segmented by type of loan, based upon management’s
assessment of their differing inherent loss characteristics, the entire
allowance for credit losses is available to absorb further losses in any
category.
Management
uses significant estimates to determine the allowance for credit losses. Because
the allowance for credit losses is dependent, to a great extent, on conditions
that may be beyond DNB’s control, management’s estimate of the amount necessary
to absorb credit losses and actual credit losses could differ. DNB’s current
judgment is that the valuation of the allowance for credit losses remains
adequate at September 30, 2006. For a description of DNB’s accounting policies
in connection with its allowance for credit losses, see, “Allowance for Credit
Losses”, in Management’s Discussion and Analysis.
Realization
of deferred income tax items.
Estimates
of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities make up the asset category
titled “net deferred taxes”. These estimates involve significant judgments and
assumptions by management, which may have a material impact on the carrying
value of net deferred tax assets for financial reporting purposes. Deferred
tax
assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences
attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts
of
existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis, as well as
operating loss carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured
using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in
which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
The
effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is
recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation
allowance would be established against deferred tax assets when in the judgment
of management, it is more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will
not
become available. For a more detailed description of these items, refer to
Footnote 11 (Federal Income Taxes) to DNB’s audited consolidated financial
statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.
Other-than
temporary impairment of investment securities.
FASB
Statement No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities states, in part: for individual securities classified as either
available-for-sale or held-to-maturity, an enterprise shall determine whether
a
decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis is other than temporary.
For example, if it is probable that the investor will be unable to collect
all
amounts due according to the contractual terms of a debt security not impaired
at acquisition, an other-than-temporary impairment shall be considered to have
occurred. If the decline in fair value is judged to be other than temporary,
the
cost basis of the individual security shall be written down to fair value as
a
new cost basis and the amount of the write-down shall be included in earnings
(that is, accounted for as a realized loss). While FASB Statement No. 115 uses
a
debt security as an example, similar considerations exist for investments in
marketable equity securities. Accordingly, judgment is required in determining
whether factors exist that indicate that an impairment loss has been incurred
at
the end of the reporting period. These judgments are based on subjective as
well
as objective factors, including knowledge and experience about past and current
events and assumptions about future events. The following are examples of such
factors.
|
•
|
Fair
value is significantly below cost and the decline is attributable
to
adverse conditions specifically related to the security or to specific
conditions in an industry or in a geographic area, the decline has
existed
for an extended period of time or Management does not possess both
the
intent and the ability to hold the security for a period of time
sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair
value.
|
|
•
|
The
security has been downgraded by a rating
agency.
|
|
•
|
The
financial condition of the issuer has
deteriorated.
|
|
•
|
Dividends
have been reduced or eliminated, or scheduled interest payments have
not
been made.
|
|
•
|
The
entity recorded losses from the security subsequent to the end of
the
reporting period.

The
Footnotes to DNB's most recent Consolidated Financial Statements as set forth
in
DNB's Annual Report 10-K identify other significant accounting policies used
in
the development and presentation of its financial statements. This discussion
and analysis, the significant accounting policies, and other financial statement
disclosures identify and address key variables and other qualitative and
quantitative factors that are necessary for an understanding and evaluation
of
DNB and its results of operations.
FINANCIAL
CONDITION
DNB's
total assets were $506.7 million at September 30, 2006 compared to $473.0
million at December 31, 2005. The growth in total assets was primarily
attributable to strong loan growth offset by a decrease in investment securities
as discussed below.
Investment
Securities.
Investment securities at September 30, 2006 were $134.9 million compared to
$146.4 million at December 31, 2005. The decrease in investment securities
was
primarily due to $17.1 million in principal pay-downs and maturities offset
by
the purchase of $5.9 million in investment securities.
Gross
Loans and Leases
.
Loans
and leases were $334.8 million at September 30, 2006 compared to $288.1 million
at December 31, 2005. DNB continued to grow its loan portfolio, which increased
by $46.7 million or 16.2%. Commercial loans grew $25.7 million, residential
real
estate loans, primarily hybrid adjustable rate mortgages, grew $13.1 million,
consumer loans grew $7.7 million, and commercial leases grew $132,000. The
increase in the commercial loans and residential mortgages continues to reflect
DNB’s commitment to commercial and residential development in Chester and
Delaware counties in Pennsylvania as well as northern Delaware.
Deposits
.
Deposits
were $369.9 million at September 30, 2006 compared to $339.6 million at December
31, 2005. Deposits increased $30.3 million or 8.9% during the nine-month period
ended September 30, 2006. A significant portion of this increase was
attributable to the opening of a new branch in West Chester, Pennsylvania during
the fourth quarter of 2005. At September 30, 2006 the West
Chester
branch had approximately $25 million in deposits.
Borrowings.
Borrowings were $102.4 million at September 30, 2006 compared to $99.9 million
at December 31, 2005. The increase of $2.5 million, or 2.5% was primarily due
to
growth in repurchase agreements offset by a decrease in FHLB borrowings. The
increase in repurchase agreements was the result of expanding DNB’s cash
management services by focusing on commercial customers and providing them
with
the ability to sell excess funds to DNB through repurchase agreements.
Repurchase agreements have helped to compliment DNB’s existing funding sources.
Stockholders’
Equity.
Stockholders' equity was $30.9 million at September 30, 2006 compared to $30.2
million at December 31, 2005. The increase in stockholders’ equity was primarily
a result of year-to-date earnings offset by cash dividends paid.
RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
SUMMARY
Net
income for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 was
$417,000 and $1.4 million compared to $587,000 and $1.3 million for the same
periods in 2005. Diluted earnings per share for the three and nine-month periods
ended September 30, 2006 was $0.17 and $0.57 compared to $0.28 and $0.62 for
the
same periods in 2005. Earnings per share in 2005 have been adjusted to reflect
the effect of the 5% stock dividend paid in December 2005. The decrease in
net
income for the latest three-month period compared to the same period in 2005
was
primarily attributable to a a $509,000 increase in non-interest expense offset
by a $133,000 increase in net interest income and a $110,000 increase in
non-interest income. The increases in non-interest income and non-interest
expense are discussed in detail below on page 20.
The
increase in net interest income was a result of growth in interest-earning
assets offset by net interest margin compression. The net interest margin
compression was a result of a rising interest rate environment, a flat yield
curve, and intense competition in DNB’s marketplace. The increase in net income
for the latest nine-month period compared to the same period in 2005 was
primarily attributable to a $1.0 million increase in non-interest income and
a
$760,000 increase in net interest income, offset by a $1.5 million increase
in
non-interest expense. The increases in non-interest income and non-interest
expense are discussed in detail below on page 20. The increase in net interest
income was a result of growth of interest-earning assets offset by net interest
margin compression. The compression in DNB’s net interest margin was a result of
a rising interest rate environment, which is discussed in more detail below.
NET
INTEREST INCOME
DNB's
earnings performance is primarily dependent upon its level of net interest
income, which is the excess of interest income over interest expense. Interest
income includes interest earned on loans, investments and federal funds sold
and
interest-earning cash, as well as loan fees and dividend income earned on
investment securities. Interest expense includes interest on deposits, FHLB
advances, repurchase agreements, Federal funds purchased and other borrowings.
Net
interest income for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006
was $3.8 million and $11.1 million, compared to $3.7 million and $10.5 million
for the same periods in 2005. Interest income for the three and nine-month
periods ended September
30,
2006
was $7.3 million and $20.8 million compared to $6.2 million and $17.1 million
for the same periods in 2005. The increase in interest income was primarily
attributable to an increase of interest on loans and leases, which was a result
of strong growth in the loan and lease portfolio. The yield on interest-earning
assets for the third quarter in 2006 was 6.1%, compared to 5.7% for the same
period in 2005. Interest expense for the three and nine-month periods ended
September 30, 2006 was $3.6 million and $9.7 million compared to $2.5 million
and $6.6 million for the same periods in 2005. The increase in interest expense
was primarily attributable to deposit and repurchase agreement account growth
as
well as higher rates on interest-bearing liabilities.
The
costs
of deposits increased to 2.36% for the third quarter in 2006, compared to 1.52%
for the same period in 2005. The net interest margin for the three-month period
ended September 30, 2006 was 3.20%, compared to 3.49% for the same period in
2005.
Interest
on loans and leases was $5.8 million and $16.0 million for the three and
nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006, compared to $4.5 million and $12.2
million for the same periods in 2005.
The
average balance of loans and leases was $317.1 million with an average yield
of
6.71% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006 compared to an average
balance of $251.3 million with an average yield of 6.49% for the same period
in
2005. The increase in the average balance is the result of management’s
increased efforts towards growing DNB’s loan and lease portfolio as DNB has
added additional commercial loan officers and business bankers to accomplish
this growth. The increase in yield was primarily the result of a rising interest
rate environment.
Interest
and dividends on investment securities was $1.5 million and $4.5 million for
the
three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006, compared to $1.6 million
and $4.7 million for the same periods in 2005. The average balance on investment
securities was $142.0 million with an average yield of 4.65% for the nine-month
period ended September 30, 2006 compared to
$161.2
million with an average yield of 4.25% for the same period in 2005. The decrease
in the average balance was part of DNB’s strategic plan to reduce the size of
its investment portfolio. The increase in yield was primarily due to the
investment portfolio restructuring which occurred during the first quarter
of
2005, which is discussed in more detail on page 13 under “Investment Portfolio
Restructure”.
Interest
on deposits was $2.2 million and $5.7 million for the three and nine-month
periods ended September 30, 2006, compared to $1.3 million and $3.1 million
for
the same periods in 2005. The average balance on interest-bearing deposits
was
$355.5 million with an average rate of 2.15% for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2006 compared to $317.6 million with an average rate of 1.32%
for
the same period in 2005. The increase in the average balance was primarily
the
result of year-over-year increased deposit relationships through aggressive
marketing efforts and the opening of a new branch in West Chester, which had
approximately $25 million in deposits at September 30, 2006. The increase in
rate was primarily attributable to an increase in market rates resulting from
a
150 basis point increase in the federal funds rate over the last twelve months
in addition to intense competition for deposits in the Chester County
marketplace.
Interest
on borrowings was $1.4 million and $4.0 million for the three and nine-month
periods ended September 30, 2006, compared to $1.2 million and $3.5 million
for
the same periods in 2005. The average balance on borrowings was $102.4 million
with an average rate of 5.18% for the nine-month period ended September 30,
2006
compared to $98.6 million with an average rate of 4.71% for the same period
in
2005. The increase in the average balance was attributable to growth in customer
repurchase agreements and FHLB borrowings. The increase in rate was attributable
to an increase in market rates resulting from a 150 basis point increase in
the
federal funds rate over the last twelve months.
ALLOWANCE
FOR CREDIT LOSSES
To
provide for known and inherent losses in the loan and lease portfolios, DNB
maintains an allowance for credit losses. Provisions for credit losses are
charged against income to increase the allowance when necessary. Loan and lease
losses are charged directly against the allowance and recoveries on previously
charged-off loans and leases are added to the allowance. In establishing its
allowance for credit losses, management considers the size and risk exposure
of
each segment of the loan and lease portfolio, past loss experience, present
indicators of risk such as delinquency rates, levels of non-accruals, the
potential for losses in future periods, and other relevant factors. Management’s
evaluation of the loan and lease portfolio generally includes reviews of problem
borrowers of $100,000 or greater. Consideration is also given to examinations
performed by regulatory agencies, primarily the Office of the Comptroller of
the
Currency (“OCC).
In
establishing and reviewing the allowance for adequacy, management establishes
the allowance for credit losses in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States and the guidance provided in the Securities
and
Exchange Commission’s
Staff
Accounting Bulletin 102 (SAB 102). Its methodology for assessing the
appropriateness of the allowance consists of several key elements which include:
specific allowances for identified problem loans; formula based allowances
for
commercial and commercial real estate loans; and allowances for pooled,
homogenous loans. As a result, management has taken into consideration factors
and variables which may influence the risk of loss within the loan portfolio,
including: (i) trends in delinquency and non-accrual loans; (ii) changes in
the
nature and volume of the loan portfolio; (iii) effects of any changes in lending
policies; (iv) experience, ability, and depth of management; (v) quality of
loan
review; (vi) national and local economic trends and conditions; (vii)
concentrations of credit; and (viii) effect of external factors on estimated
credit losses. In addition, DNB reviews historical loss experience for the
commercial real estate, commercial, residential real estate, home equity and
consumer installment loan pools to determine a historical loss factor. The
historical loss factors are then applied to the current portfolio balances
to
determine the required reserve percentage for each loan pool based on risk
rating.
DNB’s
percentage of allowance for credit losses to total loans and leases was 1.28%
at
September 30, 2006 compared to 1.53% at December 31, 2005. Management believes
that the allowance for credit losses was adequate and provided for known and
inherent credit losses.
The
following table summarizes the changes in the allowance for credit losses for
the periods indicated.

NON-INTEREST
INCOME
Total
non-interest income includes service charges on deposit products; fees received
in connection with the sale of non-depository products and services, including
fiduciary and investment advisory services offered through DNB Advisors;
securities brokerage products and services and insurance brokerage products
and
services offered through DNB Financial Services; and other sources of income
such as increases in the cash surrender value of bank owned life insurance
("BOLI"), net gains on sales of investment securities and other real estate
owned ("OREO") properties. In addition, DNB receives fees for cash management,
merchant services, debit cards, safe deposit box rentals, lockbox services
and
similar activities.
Non-interest
income for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 was
$871,000 and $2.6 million, compared to $761,000 and $1.6 million for the same
periods in 2005. The $110,000 increase for the three-month period was primarily
attributable to an increase in service charges on deposits of $53,000 and an
increase in the cash surrender value of BOLI of $40,000. The $1.0 million
increase for the nine-month period was primarily attributable to a $699,000
loss
recognized on the sale of investment securities during 2005 in addition to
a
$287,000 increase for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006 related
to
service charges on deposits.
NON-INTEREST
EXPENSE
Non-interest
expense includes salaries & employee benefits, furniture & equipment,
occupancy, professional & consulting fees as well as printing &
supplies, marketing and other less significant expense items. Non-interest
expense for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 was $4.2
million and $12.2 million compared to $3.7 million and $10.7 million for the
same periods in 2005. The increases in both periods were primarily attributable
to an increase in salaries and employee benefits, which is related to DNB’s
substantial investment during 2005 in hiring experienced personnel in revenue
producing lines of business. There were additional increases in occupancy costs
as well as furniture and equipment expenses as a result of adding a new loan
origination office in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania and a new retail branch
in
West Chester, Pennsylvania during 2005 along with additional expenses during
the
third quarter of 2006 related to a new retail branch in Chadds Ford,
Pennsylvania that is scheduled to open in 2007. Professional and consulting
expense also increased during the second and third quarters relating to the
efficiency project started in the second quarter. This project has helped to
streamline many processes throughout the bank, which will help to decrease
non-interest expense in the future along with a reduction of 14 full time
equivalent employees.

tax expense (benefit) for the three and nine-month periods ended September
30,
2006 was $18,000 and $139,000 compared to $114,000 and ($25,000) for the same
periods in 2005. Income tax expense (benefit) for each period differs from
the
amount determined at the statutory rate of 34% due to tax-exempt income on
loans
and investment securities, DNB's ownership of BOLI policies, and tax credits
recognized on a low-income housing limited partnership. An additional reason
for
the change in income tax expense (benefit) in 2006 as compared to comparable
periods in 2005 is due to the fact that during the period ended September 30,
2005 DNB reversed a portion of a previously recorded valuation allowance for
deferred tax assets and recognized related income tax benefits in the amounts
of
$0 and $102,000 for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2005,
respectively, in connection with the sale of agency preferred securities.
ASSET
QUALITY
Non-performing
assets are comprised of non-accrual loans and leases, loans and leases
delinquent over ninety days and still accruing and Other Real Estate Owned
("OREO"). Non-accrual loans and leases are loans and leases for which the
accrual of interest ceases when the collection of principal or interest payments
is determined to be doubtful by management. It is the policy of DNB to
discontinue the accrual of interest when principal or interest payments are
delinquent 90 days or more (unless the loan principal and interest are
determined by management to be fully secured and in the process of collection),
or earlier if considered prudent. Interest received on such loans is applied
to
the principal balance, or may, in some instances, be recognized as income on
a
cash basis. A non-accrual loan or lease may be restored to accrual status when
management expects to collect all contractual principal and interest due and
the
borrower has demonstrated a sustained period of repayment performance in
accordance with the contractual terms. OREO consists of real estate acquired
by
foreclosure. OREO is carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value,
less
estimated disposition costs. Any significant change in the level of
non-performing assets is dependent, to a large extent, on the economic climate
within DNB's market area.
The
following table sets forth those assets that are: (i) placed on non-accrual
status, (ii) contractually delinquent by 90 days or more and still accruing,
(iii) troubled debt restructurings other than those included in items (i) and
(ii), and (iv) OREO as a result of foreclosure or voluntary transfer to DNB.
DNB
did not have any OREO at the end of all reported periods.

LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Management
maintains liquidity to meet depositors’ needs for funds, to satisfy or fund loan
commitments, and for other operating purposes. DNB’s foundation for liquidity is
a stable and loyal customer deposit base, cash and cash equivalents, and a
marketable investment portfolio that provides periodic cash flow through regular
maturities and amortization, or that can be used as collateral to secure
funding. As part of its liquidity management, DNB maintains assets that comprise
its primary liquidity, which totaled $51.4 million at September 30, 2006.
Primary liquidity includes investments, Federal funds sold, and interest-bearing
cash balances, less pledged securities. DNB also anticipates scheduled payments
and prepayments on its loan and mortgage-backed securities portfolios. In
addition, DNB maintains borrowing arrangements with various correspondent banks,
the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh and the Federal Reserve Bank of
Philadelphia to meet short-term liquidity needs. Through these relationships,
DNB has available
credit
of
approximately $138.4 million.
Management
believes that DNB has adequate resources to meet its short-term and long-term
funding requirements.
At
September 30, 2006, DNB had $73.2 million in un-funded loan commitments.
Management anticipates these commitments will be funded by means of normal
cash
flows. Certificates of deposit greater than or equal to $100,000 scheduled
to
mature in one year or less from September 30, 2006 totaled $36.1
million.
Management
believes that the majority of such deposits will be reinvested with DNB and
that
certificates that are not renewed will be funded by a reduction in Federal
funds
sold or by pay-downs and maturities of loans and investments.
In
March
of 2005, DNB completed a private offering of $4 million Trust Preferred
Securities, and in November 2005, DNB completed a private offering of 265,730
shares of its common stock to 53 accredited investors at a price of $21.00
per
share, realizing total offering proceeds of $5.6 million. DNB invested the
majority of the proceeds of each of these securities issuances into the Bank
to
increase the Bank’s capital levels and legal lending limit.
Management
believes that the Corporation and the Bank have each met the definition of
“well
capitalized” for regulatory purposes on September 30, 2006. The Bank’s capital
category is determined for the purposes of applying the bank regulators’ “prompt
corrective action” regulations and for determining levels of deposit insurance
assessments and may not constitute an accurate representation of the
Corporation’s or the Bank’s overall financial condition or prospects. The
Corporation’s capital exceeds the FRB’s minimum lever-age ratio requirements for
bank holding companies (see additional discussion included in Footnote 17
of DNB’s 10-K).
Under
federal banking laws and regulations, DNB and the Bank are required to maintain
minimum capital as determined by certain regulatory ratios. Capital adequacy
for
regulatory purposes, and the capital category assigned to an institution by
its
regulators, may be determinative of an institution’s overall financial
condition.

following table summarizes data and ratios pertaining to the Corporation and
the
Bank's capital structure.

In
addition, the Federal Reserve Bank (the "FRB") leverage ratio rules require
bank
holding companies to maintain a minimum level of "primary capital" to total
assets of 5.5% and a minimum level of "total capital" to total assets of 6%.
For
this purpose, (i) "primary capital" includes, among other items, common stock,
certain perpetual debt instruments such as eligible Trust preferred securities,
contingency and other capital reserves, and the allowance for loan losses,
(ii)
"total capital" includes, among other things, certain subordinated debt, and
"total assets" is increased by the allowance for loan losses. DNB's primary
capital ratio and its total capital ratio are both well in excess of FRB
requirements.
REGULATORY
MATTERS
Dividends
payable to the Corporation by the Bank are subject to certain regulatory
limitations. Under normal circumstances, the payment of dividends in any year
without regulatory permission is limited to the net profits (as defined for
regulatory purposes) for that year, plus the retained net profits for the
preceding two calendar years.
FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS
This
report may contain statements that are not of historical facts and may pertain
to future operating results or events or management's expectations regarding
those results or events. These are "forward-looking statements" within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the
Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements may
include, but are not limited to, statements about our plans, objectives,
expectations and intentions and other statements contained in this report that
are not historical facts. When used in this report, the words "expects",
"anticipates", "intends", "plans", "believes", "seeks", "estimates", or words
of
similar meaning, or future or conditional verbs, such as "will", "would",
"should", "could", or "may" are generally intended to identify forward-looking
statements. Forward-looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties,
and actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by such
statements. For example, actual results may be adversely affected by the
following possibilities: (1) competitive pressures among financial institutions
may increase; (2) changes in interest rates may reduce banking interest margins;
(3) general economic conditions and real estate values may be less favorable
than contemplated; (4)
adverse
legislation or regulatory requirements may be adopted; (5) other unexpected
contingencies may arise; (6) DNB may change one or more strategies described
in
this document; or (7) management's evaluation of certain facts, circumstances
or
trends and the appropriate responses to them may change. These forward-looking
statements are inherently subject to significant business, economic and
competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are either beyond
our
control or not reasonably capable of predicting at this time. In addition,
these
forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions with respect to future
business strategies and decisions that are subject to change. Actual results
may
differ materially from the results discussed in these forward-looking
statements. Readers of this report are accordingly cautioned not to place undue
reliance on forward-looking statements. DNB disclaims any intent or obligation
to update publicly any of the forward-looking statements herein, whether in
response to new information, future events or otherwise.
To
measure the impacts of longer-term asset and liability mismatches beyond two
years, DNB utilizes Modified Duration of Equity and Economic Value of Equity
("EVE") models. The modified duration of equity measures the potential price
risk of equity to changes in interest rates. A longer modified duration of
equity indicates a greater degree of risk to rising interest rates. Because
of
balance sheet optionality, an EVE analysis is also used to dynamically model
the
present value of asset and liability cash flows, with rates ranging up or down
200 basis points. The economic value of equity is likely to be different if
rates change. Results falling outside prescribed ranges require action by
management. At September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, DNB's variance in
the
economic value of equity as a percentage of assets with an instantaneous and
sustained parallel shift of 200 basis points was within its negative 3%
guideline, as shown in the table below. The change as a percentage of the
present value of equity with a 200 basis point increase or decrease at September
30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, was within DNB's negative 25% guideline. DNB’s
EVE has decreased by $15.2 million during 2006. This decrease is mostly
attributable to a decrease in the EVE on deposits resulting from an increase
in
DNB’s cost of funds during the year. DNB’s cost of deposits increased to 2.50%
at September 30, 2006 compared to 1.75% at December 31, 2005.

DNB’s
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have reviewed and evaluated
the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) as of September 30, 2006, the end of the period
covered by this report, in accordance with the requirements of Exchange Act
Rule
240.13a-15(b). Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the
Chief Financial Officer have concluded that DNB’s current disclosure controls
and procedures are effective and timely, providing them with material
information relating to DNB and its subsidiaries required to be disclosed in
the
report DNB files under the Exchange Act.
Management
of DNB is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control
over financial reporting for DNB, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f)
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. There was no change in the DNB’s
“internal control over financial reporting” (as such term is defined in Rule
13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended
September 30, 2006, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, DNB’s internal control over financial reporting.

and
provisions thereof.

Eligibility
.
Each
Eligible Director shall be eligible to participate in this DCP.
3.
Definitions
.
The
words
and phrases set forth below shall have the meanings indicated, unless the
context requires a different meaning. Each capitalized term or phrase used
in
this DCP but not defined in this Section 3 shall have the same meaning as the
definition of such term or phrase set forth in the DNB Financial Corporation
Incentive Equity and Deferred Compensation Plan.
(a)
“Beneficiary”
shall mean the person(s) designated to receive the balance of an Eligible
Director’s Deferred Account upon the death of the Eligible Director. A
Beneficiary may only be a natural person, a trust, or an entity that is
tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Code.
(b)
“Company”
shall mean DNB Financial Corporation.
(c)
“Compensation”
shall mean the compensation payable by the Company, either in cash or pursuant
to an Award of Shares, to an Eligible Director for his or her services as a
member of the Board and committees thereof.
(d)
“DCP”
shall mean the Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors of DNB Financial
Corporation, as set forth herein and as may be amended from time to
time.

shares.
4.
Election
.
(a)
Prior
to
the commencement of a calendar year, but not later than the preceding December
15, an Eligible Director may make an Election, pursuant to which payment of
a
specified percentage or flat dollar amount of his Compensation earned and
otherwise payable in cash during such year and thereafter, or a specified
percentage or number of Shares subject to an Award granted in such year, shall
be deferred until a future date established pursuant to Section 6(b), below.
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 30
th
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
30
th
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
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.
(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).
(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
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.

paid
to his or her spouse, a child, a relative, an institution maintaining or having

recipient on behalf of such person otherwise entitled to payment. Any such

insofar as may otherwise be required by law, no amount payable at any time

Election shall be allocated to the Eligible Employee’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 Employee but for
his or her Salary Deferral Election or Bonus Deferral Election.
(b)
That
number of Shares equal to the number of Shares subject to an Award which an
Eligible Employee has deferred pursuant to a Share Deferral Election shall
be
allocated to the Eligible Employee’s Deferred Compensation Account as of the
last day of the month in which such Shares would otherwise have been paid to
the
Eligible Employee, or the last day of the month in which the Eligible Employee
becomes vested in such Shares, 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 Employee’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 Employee’s Deferred Compensation Account shall
be fully vested and shall not be forfeitable for any reason.
8.
Distributions
from Deferred Compensation Account
.
(a)
All
distributions from an Eligible Employee’s Deferred Compensation 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 Employee 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 Employee’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, or
(ii)
the
attained age of the Eligible Employee or a specified date, in either case as
designated by the Eligible Employee in his or her first Salary Deferral
Election, first Bonus Deferral Election, or first Share Deferral Election,
whichever was made first, or as revised pursuant to Section 8(d),
below.
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.
(c)
Upon
the
occurrence of the distribution event set forth in Section 8(b), above, the
balance of the Eligible Employee’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 Salary Deferral Election, his or her first Bonus
Deferral Election, or his or her first Share Deferral Election, whichever was
made first:
(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
Employee in such Salary Deferral Election, Bonus Deferral Election, or Share
Deferral Election, as the case may be, 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.
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.
In
the
absence of a designation by the Eligible Employee pursuant to this Section
8(c),
the Eligible Employee 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 Employee’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 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
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.

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

paid
to his or her spouse, a child, a relative, an institution maintaining or having

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.

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

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

its
obligations hereunder. Such assets, whether held in trust or otherwise, shall
be
unrestricted corporate assets.

WHEREAS,
it is the intention of the Company to make contributions to the Trust to provide
a source of funds to meet its liabilities under the Plans.
NOW
THEREFORE, the parties do hereby establish the Trust and agree that the Trust
shall be comprised, held and disposed of as follows:
Section
1. Establishment of Trust.
(a)
The
Company hereby establishes the Trust with the Trustee, consisting of such sums
of money and other property acceptable to the Trustee as from time to time
shall
be paid and delivered to and accepted by the Trustee from the Company (the
"Trust Fund"). The Trustee shall have no duty to determine or collect
contributions under the Plans and shall have no responsibility for any property
until it is received and accepted by the Trustee. The Company shall have the
sole duty and responsibility for the determination of the accuracy or
sufficiency of the contributions to be made under the Plans. All such money
and
other property paid or delivered to and accepted by the Trustee shall become
the
principal of the Trust to be held, administered and disposed of by the Trustee
as provided in this Trust Agreement.
(b)
The
Trust hereby established shall be irrevocable; notwithstanding the fact that
the
Trust is irrevocable, the Company may terminate the Plans (or any of them)
at
any time.
(c)
The
Trust is intended to be a grantor trust, of which the Company is the grantor,
within the meaning of subpart E, part I, subchapter J, chapter 1, subtitle
A of
the Code, as amended, and shall be construed accordingly. The Company represents
and warrants to the Trustee that: (i) no Plan for which benefits are or may
become payable under this Trust is or shall be subject to Part 4 of Title I
of
ERISA; and (ii) any Plan subject to ERISA covers, and will cover, only (x)
a
select group of management or highly compensated employees as contemplated
by
Section 401(a) of ERISA and interpretations, opinions, and rulings of the
Department of Labor thereunder or (y) Participants in an excess benefit plan
as
defined in Section 3(36) of ERISA.
(d)
The
principal of the Trust and any earnings thereon shall be held separate and
apart
from other funds of the Company and shall be used exclusively for the purposes
of paying Participants under the Plans, expenses of the Trust and, in the event
of Insolvency, obligations of the Company to its general creditors as herein
set
forth. The Participants and their beneficiaries shall have no preferred claim
on, nor any beneficial ownership interest in, any assets of the Trust. Any
rights created under the Plans and this Trust Agreement shall be unsecured
contractual rights of the Participants and their beneficiaries against the
Company. Any assets held by the Trust will be subject to the claims of the
Company's general creditors under federal and state law in the event of
Insolvency, as defined in Section 4(a) herein.
(e)
In
addition to the contributions necessary to meet the Trust Funding Requirement
(as defined in Section 2), the Company, in its sole discretion, may at any
time,
or from time to time, make additional deposits of cash or other property in
trust with the Trustee to augment the principal to be held, administered and
disposed of by the Trustee as provided in this Trust Agreement. Neither the
Trustee nor any Participant or beneficiary shall have any right to compel such
additional deposits.
Section
2. Trust Funding Requirement
From
time
to time but in no event less frequently than monthly, the Company shall
contribute to the Trust (in cash, shares of Company common stock or other stock
for which Company common stock has been exchanged in accordance with the
applicable Plans (“Stock”) or other property as provided or permitted by the
respective applicable Plans) the amounts the Company is obligated to credit
to
each Participant’s account under a Plan (herein, a “Deferred Compensation
Account”), except that no amounts shall be contributed during any period to the
extent necessary to avoid the application of Section 409A(b)(3) of the Code
(as
amended by the Pension Protection Act of 2006). The Deferred Compensation
Account of each Participant shall be separate and segregated from the Deferred
Compensation Accounts of other Participants, but the Trustee shall nevertheless
be authorized to commingle cash or hold shares of Stock in a single name or
in
one or more aggregate certificates or in book entry, or in one or more accounts
under the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan, for purposes of achieving
economies or efficiencies in investments or administration or complying with
the
provisions of this Trust Agreement, so long as the Trustee maintains records
identifying the interests of each Participant
therein.
The
Trustee may commingle the cash allocable to individual Accounts that would
not
otherwise be sufficiently large to purchase whole shares of Stock, for purposes
of investing it in Stock, but only to the extent that the Trustee maintains
records showing the fractional shares thereof allocable to each
Account.
Section
3. Payments to Plan Participants and Their Beneficiaries.
(a)
The
Company shall deliver to the Trustee a schedule (the "Payment Schedule") that
indicates the amounts payable in respect of each Participant and that provides
a
formula or other instructions acceptable to the Trustee for determining the
amounts so payable, the form in which such amount is to be paid (as provided
for
or available under the applicable Plan), and the time of commencement for
payment of such amounts. The Company shall be responsible for notifying the
Trustee of any change in the information on the Payment Schedule. Except as
otherwise provided herein, the Trustee shall make payments to the Participants
(including beneficiaries) in accordance with such Payment Schedule.
(b)
It is
the intent of the Company and the Trustee that the Company shall be responsible
for determining and effecting all federal, state and local tax aspects of the
Plans and the Trust Fund, including without limitation income taxes payable
on
the Trust Fund's income, if any, any required withholding of income or other
payroll taxes in connection with the payment of benefits from the Trust Fund
pursuant to the Plans, and all reporting required in connection with any such
taxes. To the extent that the Company is required by applicable law to pay
or
withhold such taxes or to file such reports, such obligation shall be a
responsibility allocated to the Company, as the case may be, hereunder. To
the
extent the Trustee is required by applicable law to pay or withhold such taxes
or to file such reports, the Company shall inform the Trustee of such
obligation, shall direct the Trustee with respect to the performance of such
obligations and shall provide the Trustee with all information required by
the
Trustee to meet such obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company
may
elect to pay any applicable taxes directly. In the event the Company pays taxes
directly, such amounts may be reimbursed from Trust assets by the Trustee,
provided that the Company certifies the amount of taxes paid directly and
instructs the Trustee to remit a reimbursement of such taxes to the
Company.
(c)
The
entitlement of a Participant (including any beneficiaries) to benefits under
a
Plan shall be determined by the Company or such party as it shall designate
under the applicable Plan, and any claim for such benefits shall be considered
and reviewed under the procedures set out in the Plan. The Company shall notify
the Trustee of such determination and shall direct commencement of payments
of
such benefits.
(d)
The
Company may make payment of benefits directly to the Participants as they become
due under the terms of the Plans. The Company shall notify the Trustee of its
decision to make payment of benefits directly prior to the time such amounts
are
payable. If requested by the Company, the Trustee shall reimburse the Company
for any benefits under a Plan and Trust which are paid by the Company or
otherwise satisfied. In addition, if the principal of the Trust, together with
any earnings thereon, are not sufficient to make payment of benefits in
accordance with the terms of the Plans, the Company shall immediately make
up
the balance of each such
payment
as it falls due. The Trustee shall notify the Company when principal and
earnings are not sufficient.
Section
4. Trustee Responsibility regarding Payments to Trust Beneficiary When Company
Is or Is Alleged to Be Insolvent.
(a)
The
Trustee shall cease payment of benefits to the Participants and their
beneficiaries if the Company is Insolvent. The Company shall be considered
"Insolvent" for purposes of this Trust Agreement if (i) the Company is unable
to
pay its debts as they become due, or (ii) the Company is subject to a pending
proceeding as a debtor under the United States Bankruptcy Code. A determination
of Insolvency under the terms of this Trust Agreement does not constitute an
admission of insolvency by the Company for any other purpose.
(b)
At
all times during the continuance of this Trust, as provided in Section 1(d)
hereof, the principal and income of the Trust shall be subject to claims of
general creditors of the Company under federal and state law as set forth
below.
(1)
The
Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer of the Company shall have
the
duty to inform the Trustee in writing of the Company's Insolvency. If a person
claiming to be a creditor of the Company alleges in writing to the Trustee
that
the Company has become Insolvent, the Trustee shall determine whether the
Company is Insolvent and, pending such determination, the Trustee shall
discontinue payment of benefits to Participants and their beneficiaries. In
all
cases, the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon the written
certification of the Board of Directors or the Chief Executive Officer of the
Company when determining whether the Company is Insolvent.
(2)
Unless the Trustee has received notice from the Company or a person claiming
to
be a creditor alleging that the Company is Insolvent, the Trustee shall have
no
duty to inquire whether the Company is Insolvent. The Trustee may in all events
rely on such evidence concerning the Company's solvency as may be furnished
to
the Trustee and that provides the Trustee with a reasonable basis for making
a
determination concerning the Company's solvency.
(3)
If at
any time the Trustee has determined that the Company is Insolvent, the Trustee
shall discontinue payments to the Participants or their beneficiaries and shall
hold the assets of the Trust for the benefit of the Company's general creditors
except that the Trustee's fees and expenses may continue to be paid pursuant
to
Section 11 subject to any applicable bankruptcy rules. Nothing in this Trust
Agreement shall in any way diminish any rights of the Participants or their
beneficiaries to pursue their rights as general creditors of the Company with
respect to benefits due under the Plans or otherwise.
(4)
The
Trustee shall resume the payment of benefits to the Participants or their
beneficiaries in accordance with Section 3 of this Trust Agreement only after
the Trustee has determined that the Company is not Insolvent (or is no longer
Insolvent).
(c)
Provided that there are sufficient assets if the Trustee discontinues the
payment of benefits from the Trust pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof and
subsequently resumes such payments, the first payment following such
discontinuance shall include the aggregate amount of all payments due to the
Participants or their beneficiaries under the terms of the Plans (as certified
to the Trustee by the Company) for the period of such discontinuance less the
aggregate amount of any payments made to the Participants or their beneficiaries
by the Company in lieu of the payments provided for hereunder during any such
period of discontinuance.
Section
5. Payments to Company.
Except
as
otherwise specifically provided in this Trust Agreement, the Company shall
have
no right or power to direct the Trustee to return to the Company or to divert
to
others any of the Trust assets before all payment of benefits has been made
to
the Participants and their beneficiaries pursuant to the terms of the Plans
(as
certified to the Trustee by the Company). Notwithstanding the above, the Company
may direct the Trustee to transfer to the Company Trust Fund assets in an amount
necessary to avoid triggering taxable income to a Participant or beneficiary
if
such Participant or beneficiary would be required to recognize income tax on
such funds if they remain in the Trust. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely
solely on the Company's representation that the amount directed to be returned
to the Company could become taxable to a Participant or beneficiary and shall
have no duty to review the Company's determination of the amount.
Section
6. Investment and Administrative Authority.
(a)
Prior
to a “Change of Control” (as defined in Section 12 of this Agreement) the
Company shall establish and maintain written investment guidelines (the
"Investment Guidelines"), which may be revised by the Company from time to
time
consistent with the provisions of the applicable Plans, for the investment
of
the assets in the Trust Fund. The Trust Fund shall at all times be managed
in
accordance with the Investment Guidelines then in effect. The Company may
appoint and remove one or more investment managers from time to time to manage
specified portions of the Trust Fund. To the extent that assets of the Trust
Fund are not so managed by an investment manager appointed by the Company,
the
Company shall manage all such assets. The Company and each investment manager
shall designate in writing the persons who are authorized to represent such
party in dealing with the Trustee. Except as provided in subsection (b) below,
the Trustee shall have no investment duties for the Trust Fund. The Trustee
shall have no duty to inquire whether investment directions received from the
Company or an investment manager are in accordance with the terms of any Plan
or
the Investment Guidelines, or to review the assets purchased, retained or
sold.
(b)
After
a Change of Control, the Trustee shall have and exercise sole investment
discretion with respect to all of the Trust Fund in accordance with the
Investment Guidelines in effect immediately prior to a Change of Control, a
copy
of which shall be provided prior to a Change of Control to the Trustee by the
Company. The Trustee's sole responsibility with regard to investment discretion
shall be to exercise such discretion in accordance with the Investment
Guidelines. Thereafter, the Investment Guidelines may be changed from time
to
time by mutual agreement of the Trustee and the Company. The Trustee may, in
its
sole discretion, appoint,
retain
or
terminate an investment manager (including any affiliate of the Trustee) to
manage all or a portion of the Trust Fund in accordance with the current
Investment Guidelines.
(c)
In
addition to those powers conferred by law, the Trustee shall have the following
powers:
(1)
The
Trustee may invest and reinvest the principal and income of the Trust and keep
it invested, without distinction between principal and income, as provided
in
the Investment Guidelines.
(2)
The
Trustee may collect and receive any and all money and other property due the
Trust and give full discharge therefor.
(3)
The
Trustee may settle, compromise or submit to arbitration any claims, debt or
damages due or owing to or from the Trust; the Trustee may also commence or
defend suits or legal proceedings to protect any interest of the Trust, and
may
represent the Trust in all suits or legal proceedings in any court or before
any
other body or tribunal.
(4)
The
Trustee may take all action necessary to pay for authorized transactions,
including the temporary advancement of cash or securities to settle security
purchases and/or foreign exchange or contracts for foreign exchange and any
property at any time held in the Trust Fund shall be security therefore to
the
extent of such advancement until it is repaid.
(5)
The
Trustee may appoint custodians, subcustodians or subtrustees, domestic or
foreign (including affiliates of the Trustee), as to part or all of the Trust.
The Trustee shall not be responsible or liable for any losses or damages
suffered by the Company arising as a result of the insolvency of any custodian,
subcustodian or subtrustee, except to the extent the Trustee was negligent
in
its selection or continued retention of such custodian, subcustodian or
subtrustee. In no event shall Trustee be liable for the acts or omissions of
any
custodian, subcustodian or subtrustee appointed pursuant to the direction of
the
Company or an investment manager.
(6)
The
Trustee may hold property in nominee name, in bearer form, or in book entry
form, in a clearinghouse corporation or in a depository (including an affiliate
of the Trustee), so long as the Trustee's records clearly indicate that the
assets held are a part of the Trust. The Trustee shall not be responsible for
any losses resulting from the deposit or maintenance of securities or other
property (in accordance with market practice, custom, or regulation) with any
recognized foreign or domestic clearing facility, book-entry system, centralized
custodial depository, or similar organization.
(7)
The
Trustee may generally do all acts, whether or not expressly authorized, which
the Trustee may deem necessary or desirable for the protection of the
Trust.
(d)
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that a
Plan
or applicable Investment Guidelines permit or require investment of Trust assets
in Stock, the Trustee shall be authorized to accept, hold and purchase Stock,
reinvest income in Stock, and otherwise administer Stock for the benefit of
Participants, without any obligation to diversify
investments
or investment risk for the benefit of any Participant, and without regard to
any
“prudent investor” or similar laws or rules, and notwithstanding that the
Trustee may be affiliated with the Company or otherwise personally interested
in
the Company, the Stock or any transactions in Stock; and the Trustee shall
have
no obligation to refrain from self-dealing in connection with any Stock or
any
interests in Stock administered by the Trustee. Without limiting the foregoing,
the Trustee shall not be obligated, even when requested by a Participant, to
sell or otherwise dispose of any Stock prior to distribution of the Stock to
the
Participant in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Plan, the
Participant’s applicable elections, and this Trust Agreement. The Company, and
by agreeing to defer compensation subject to this Trust Agreement each
Participant, for themselves and their respective successors and heirs, hereby
severally release, hold harmless and indemnify the Trustee, all successors
to
the Trustee in such capacity, and each of their agents and the respective
successors, personal representatives and heirs of each of the foregoing, from
and against all liability (including without limitation due to claims of
negligence), loss, cost, damages (including without limitation consequential
damages, lost profits, loss of expectation and punitive or exemplary damages
of
all kinds) and expense (including without limitation attorneys fees and costs
of
litigation) which the Company or any Participant or Participant’s personal
representatives, heirs or beneficiaries may now or hereafter suffer or incur
by
virtue of the Trustee’s acting or omitting to act based on the authority granted
to the Trustee in this subsection. The provisions of this subsection shall
survive the termination of this Trust Agreement.
(e)
Neither the Company nor the Trustee shall have discretion to vote any shares
of
Stock except pursuant to instructions received from Participants. The Trustee
shall be authorized, in its discretion, to take either of the following actions
in connection with shareholders meetings or other circumstances where a
Participant’s vote, approval or other action is requested: (i) to forward to
each Participant the materials received by the Trustee for the Participant
with
respect to the vote, approval or other action, along with a notification to
the
Participant to deliver the proxy card or other voting, approval or other
materials directly to the Company or elsewhere as the Company shall direct;
or
(ii) to forward to each Participant copies of the materials received with
respect to the vote, approval or other action, along with a notification to
the
Participant that the Trustee will vote or withhold votes, or provide or withhold
other approvals or actions, with respect to shares of Stock held in the
Participant’s deferred compensation account, only according to instructions
received from the Participant. In the case described in clause (ii) of this
subsection: (A) the Trustee shall have no authority to take any action with
respect to a vote, approval or other action requested of any Stock held in
a
Participant’s deferred compensation account in the absence of instructions from
the Participant; and (B) the Trustee shall only be authorized to vote or give
approval or take other actions with respect to fractional interests in any
Stock
held in a Participant’s deferred compensation account to the extent that the
Participant would have such authority if such Stock were held directly by such
Participant. The Company agrees, to the extent requested by the Trustee, to:
(I)
provide to the Trustee such numbers of copies of materials being distributed
to
shareholders as the Trustee may request in order to fulfill the Trustee’s
obligations to Participants under this Trust Agreement with respect thereto;
and
(II) deliver such materials directly to Participants, along with any
notification or other materials required by the Trustee, to addresses to be
provided by the Trustee.
Section
7. Settlement and Income; Market Practice Settlements.
(a)
In
accordance with the Trustee's standard operating procedure, the Trustee shall
credit the Trust Fund with income, which shall include interest, dividends
and
return of capital, and maturity proceeds on securities on contractual payment
date net of any taxes or upon actual receipt. To the extent the Trustee credits
income on contractual payment date, the Trustee may reverse such accounting
entries to the contractual payment date if the Trustee reasonably believes
that
such amount will not be received.
(b)
In
accordance with the Trustee's standard operating procedure, the Trustee will
attend to the settlement of securities transactions on the basis of either
contractual settlement date accounting or actual settlement date accounting.
To
the extent the Trustee settles certain securities transactions on the basis
of
contractual settlement date accounting, the Trustee may reverse any entry
relating to such contractual settlement if the Trustee reasonably believes
that
such amount will not be received.
(c)
Settlements of transactions may be effected in trading and processing practices
customary in the jurisdiction or market where the transaction occurs. The
Company acknowledges that this may, in certain circumstances, require the
delivery of cash or securities (or other property) without the concurrent
receipt of securities (or other property) or cash. In such circumstances, the
Trustee shall have no responsibility for nonreceipt of payment (or late payment)
or nondelivery of securities or other property (or late delivery) by the
counterparty.
Section
8. Disposition of Income.
During
the term of this Trust, all income received by the Trust with respect to each
Deferred Compensation Account, net of expenses and taxes, shall be accumulated
and reinvested in and for the benefit of such Deferred Compensation
Account
according to
the
procedures and valuation provisions as are applicable under the Company’s
dividend reinvestment plan from time to time. In order to comply with this
requirement, the Trustee is authorized to deposit Stock held by it in one or
more accounts under the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan. The Trustee shall
have no liability to anyone whatsoever for any failure of the Company, any
administrator or any other agent of the Company to adhere to the provisions
of
the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan.
Section
9. Accounting by Trustee.
The
Trustee shall keep accurate and detailed records of all investments, receipts,
disbursements, and all other transactions required to be made, including such
specific records as shall be agreed upon in writing between the Company and
the
Trustee. Within sixty (60) days following the close of each calendar year and
within ninety (90) days after the removal or resignation of the Trustee, the
Trustee shall deliver to the Company a written account of its administration
of
the Trust during such year or during the period from the close of the last
preceding year to the date of such removal or resignation, setting forth all
investments, receipts, disbursements and other transactions effected by it,
including a description of all securities and investments purchased and sold
with the cost or net proceeds of such purchases or sales (accrued interest
paid
or receivable being shown separately), and showing all cash, securities and
other property held in
the
Trust
at the end of such year or as of the date of such removal or resignation, as
the
case may be. If, within 120 days after the Trustee mails to the Company a
statement with respect to the Trust, the Company has not given the Trustee
written notice of any exception or objection thereto, the statement shall be
deemed to have been approved, and in such case, the Trustee shall not be liable
for any matters in such statements. The Company or its agent shall have the
right at its own expense and with prior written notice to the Trustee to inspect
the Trustee's books and records directly relating to the Trust Fund during
normal business hours.
Section
10. Responsibility of Trustee.
(a)
The
Trustee shall act with the care, skill, prudence and diligence under the
circumstances then prevailing that a prudent person acting in like capacity
and
familiar with such matters would use in the conduct of an enterprise of a like
character and with like aims, provided, however, that the Trustee shall incur
no
liability to any person for any action taken pursuant to a direction, request
or
approval given by the Company which is contemplated by, and in conformity with,
the terms of the Plans (as certified to the Trustee by the Company) or this
Trust and is given in writing by the Company. In the event of a dispute between
the Company and a third party, the Trustee may apply to a court of competent
jurisdiction to resolve the dispute.
(b)
The
Trustee is not a party to and has no duties or responsibilities under any Plan
other than those that may be expressly contained in this Trust Agreement. In
any
case in which a provision of this Trust Agreement conflicts with any provision
in any Plan or Plans, this Trust Agreement shall control.
(c)
The
Trustee shall not be responsible for the title, validity or genuineness of
any
property or evidence of title thereto received by it or delivered by it pursuant
to this Trust Agreement and shall be held harmless in acting upon any notice,
request, direction, instruction, consent, certification or other instrument
believed by it to be genuine and delivered by the proper party or
parties.
(d)
The
Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee, its parent,
subsidiaries and affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors,
employees and agents from and against all liability, loss and expense, including
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses incurred by the Trustee or any of the
foregoing indemnitees arising out of or in connection with this Trust Agreement,
except as a result of the Trustee's own negligence, willful misconduct, bad
faith or breach of this Agreement or of its fiduciary duties. The Trustee shall
be fully indemnified by the Company for any action taken in accordance with,
or
any failure to act in the absence of, the Company's or an investment manager's
directions. If the Trustee undertakes or defends any litigation arising in
connection with this Trust, the Company agrees to indemnify the Trustee against
the Trustee's costs, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation,
attorneys' fees and expenses) relating thereto and to be primarily liable for
such payments except where the Trustee is determined to be liable due to its
negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith, or breach of this Trust Agreement
or
of its fiduciary duties. If the Company does not pay such costs, expenses and
liabilities in a reasonably timely manner, the Trustee may obtain payment from
the Trust. This Section 10(d) shall survive the termination of this Trust
Agreement. The
provisions
of this subsection shall supplement and shall not restrict the application
of
any other provisions of this Trust Agreement providing for indemnification,
hold-harmless or release of the Trustee, and in the event of a conflict in
application of this subsection and any other such provision, the provision
most
protective to the Trustee shall control.
(e)
The
Trustee may consult with legal counsel (who may also be counsel for the Company
generally) with respect to any of its duties or obligations hereunder and as
a
part of its reimbursable expenses under this Agreement, pay counsel's reasonable
compensation and expenses. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely on and may
act
upon advice of counsel on all matters, and shall be without liability for any
action reasonably taken or omitted pursuant to such advice.
(f)
The
Trustee may hire agents, accountants, actuaries, investment advisors, financial
consultants or other professionals, including affiliates, to assist it in
performing any of its duties or obligations hereunder.
(g)
The
Trustee shall have without exclusion, all powers conferred on Trustees by
applicable law, unless expressly provided otherwise herein, provided, however,
that if an insurance policy is held as an asset of the Trust, the Trustee shall
have no power to name a beneficiary of the policy other than the Trust, to
assign the policy (as distinct from conversion of the policy to a different
form) other than to a successor Trustee, or to loan to any person the proceeds
of any borrowing against such policy.
(h)
Notwithstanding any powers granted to the Trustee pursuant to this Trust
Agreement or to applicable law, the Trustee shall not have any power that could
give this Trust the objective of carrying on a business and dividing the gains
therefrom, within the meaning of Section 301.7701-2 of the Procedure and
Administrative Regulations promulgated pursuant to the Code.
(i)
Notwithstanding anything in this Trust Agreement to the contrary contained
herein, the Trustee shall not be responsible or liable for any losses to the
Trust resulting from any event beyond the reasonable control of the Trustee,
its
agents or custodians, including but not limited to nationalization, strikes,
expropriation, devaluation, seizure, or similar action by any governmental
authority, de facto or de jure; or enactment, promulgation, imposition or
enforcement by any such governmental authority of currency restrictions,
exchange controls, levies or other charges affecting the Trust's property;
or
the breakdown, failure or malfunction of any utilities or telecommunications
systems; or any order or regulation of any banking or securities industry
including changes in market rules and market conditions affecting the execution
or settlement of transactions; or acts of war, terrorism, insurrection or
revolution; or acts of God; or any other similar event; or any action or
omission taken by the Trustee consistent with the provisions of this Trust
Agreement.
(j)
The
Trustee shall not be liable for any act or omission of any other person, except
to the extent that such person is an agent of the Trustee (not appointed
pursuant to the direction of the Company or an investment manager) or under
the
control of the Trustee, in carrying out any responsibility imposed upon such
person and under no circumstances shall the Trustee be liable for any indirect,
consequential, or special damages with respect to its role as
Trustee.
(k)
The
Trustee shall not be obligated to monitor, or to advise or give any notices
to
any Participant with respect to, the Stock, the Company or the market value,
trading prices or other events affecting the Stock or the Company.
(l)
The
provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Trust
Agreement.
Section
11. Compensation and Expenses of Trustee.
The
Company shall pay all Trustee's fees and expenses necessary for the Trustee
to
fulfill its duties hereunder as mutually agreed between the parties. If not
so
paid within sixty (60) days after an invoice is sent to the Company, the fees
and expenses shall be paid from the Trust. The Company acknowledges that as
part
of the Trustee's compensation, the Trustee may earn interest on balances
including disbursement balances and balances arising from purchase and sale
transactions. If the Trustee advances cash or securities to the Trust for any
purpose, or in the event that the Trustee shall incur or be assessed taxes,
interest, charges, expenses, assessments, or other liabilities in connection
with the performance of this Trust Agreement, except such as may arise from
its
own negligent failure to act or willful misconduct, any property at any time
held in the Trust Fund shall be, to the extent of the advance, security therefor
and the Trustee shall be entitled to collect from the Trust sufficient cash
for
reimbursement, and if such cash is insufficient, dispose of the assets of the
Trust Fund to the extent necessary to obtain reimbursement. To the extent the
Trustee advances funds to the Trust for disbursements or to effect the
settlement of purchase transactions, the Trustee shall be entitled to collect
from the Trust either (i) with respect to domestic assets, an amount equal
to
what would have been earned on the sums advanced (an amount approximating the
"federal funds" interest rate) or (ii) with respect to non-domestic assets,
the
rate applicable to the appropriate foreign market.
Section
12. Change of Control
(a)
For
purposes of this Agreement, a "Change of Control" shall mean any one or more
of
the following with respect to the Company:
(1)
a
change in control of a nature that would be required to be reported in response
to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A promulgated under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") (or any successor provision) as it
may
be amended from time to time;
(2)
any
"persons" (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange
Act
in effect on the date first written above), other than Company, its primary
wholly owned subsidiary bank (“Bank’) or any "person" who on the date hereof is
a director of officer of Company or Bank, is or becomes the "beneficial owner"
(as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly,
of
securities of Company representing 25% or more of the combined voting power
of
