Item 1.01.

– Material Contracts

On March 5, 2014, DNB Financial Corporation (the “Company”) entered into a Subordinated Note Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with an accredited investor under which the Company issued a $9.75 million subordinated note (the “Note”) to the investor. The Note has a maturity date of March 6, 2025, and will bear interest at a fixed rate of 4.25% per annum for the first 5 years and then float at the Wall Street Journal Prime rate plus1.00%, provided that the interest rate applicable to the outstanding principal balance will at no time be less than 3.0% and more than 5.75% per annum.

The Company may, at its option, beginning with the first interest payment date after March 6, 2019, and on any interest payment date thereafter, redeem the Note, in whole or in part, at par plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. The Note is not subject to repayment at the option of the noteholder.

The Note will be unsecured, subordinated obligations of the Company and will rank junior in right of payment to the Company’s senior indebtedness and to the Company’s obligations to its general creditors.

The Note is intended to qualify as Tier 2 capital for regulatory purposes. As discussed in Section 8.01 below, the Company has used the proceeds from the sale of the Note to redeem a portion of its outstanding shares of Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series 2011A, which it issued to the United States Department of the Treasury pursuant to its participation in the Small Business Lending Fund Program.

The Note was offered and sold in reliance on the exemptions from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506 of Regulation D thereunder. Accordingly, the Note was offered and sold exclusively to persons who are “accredited investors” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D.

The foregoing summary description of the Agreement and the Note does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement and to the Note, copies of which are filed hereto as Exhibits 10.1 and 4.1, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.03.

Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

The information provided above in response to Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is also responsive to Item 2.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K and is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.

Item 8.01. Other Events.

On March 6, 2015, the Company redeemed 9,750 of the 13,000 shares of the Company’s Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series 2011A (“Series 2011A Preferred Stock”), that had been issued to the United States Department of the Treasury on August 4, 2011 in connection with the Company’s participation in the Small Business Lending Fund program. The shares were redeemed at their liquidation value of $1,000 per share plus accrued dividends for a total redemption price of $9,767,604.17. Following the consummation of this partial redemption, the Company continues to have outstanding 3,250 shares of its Series 2011A Preferred Stock.

The partial redemption was approved by the Company's primary federal regulator and was funded with the proceeds of a $9.75 million private placement described above in Item 1.01. After the partial redemption, the Company and its wholly owned banking subsidiary, DNB First, National Association, will continue to have capital in excess of minimum regulatory requirements and at levels that qualify as "well capitalized" under applicable regulatory guidelines.

March 5, 2015

DNB FINANCIAL CORPORATION

Subordinated Note due March 6, 2025

1. Payment.

(a) DNB Financial Corporation, a Pennsylvania corporation (“Issuer”), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Jersey Shore State Bank, or registered assigns (the “Noteholder”), the principal sum of NINE MILLION SEVEN HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS (U.S.) ($9,750,000), plus accrued but unpaid interest, on March 6, 2025 (the “Maturity Date”) and to pay interest on such principal amount at the rates and times provided herein. This Subordinated Note (this “Note” or this “Subordinated Note”) is issued pursuant to the terms of that certain Subordinated Note Purchase Agreement of even date herewith by and between Issuer and the Noteholder (as may be amended, restated, supplemented or modified from time to time, the “Agreement”). All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.

(b) During the period commencing on the date funds are advanced to the Issuer and continuing up to and including the last day of the 60th month after the date hereof (the “Conversion Date”), interest on the outstanding principal balance hereof shall accrue at the rate of 4.25% per annum (computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months). On the day immediately succeeding the Conversion Date, the interest rate applicable to the outstanding principal amount due hereunder will be adjusted to float at the Wall Street Journal’s Prime Rate plus 100 basis points (1.00%); provided that the interest rate applicable to the outstanding principal balance hereof after the Conversion Date shall at no time be less than 3.0% or more than 5.75% per annum. Interest will be due and payable quarterly on each January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1 (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing April 1, 2015.

(c) Any payment of principal of or interest on this Note that would otherwise become due and payable on a day which is not a Business Day shall become due and payable on the next succeeding Business Day, with the same force and effect as if made on the date for payment of such principal or interest, and no interest shall accrue in respect of such payment by reason of such delay. The term “Business Day” means any day that is not a Saturday or Sunday and that is not a day on which banks in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania are generally authorized or required by law or executive order to be closed. In the event that any payment of principal or interest is not received by the Noteholder within fifteen (15) days after the date such payment is due, the Issuer shall pay to the Noteholder a late payment fee equal to five percent (5.0%) of the payment that was due.

(d) All percentages resulting from any calculation of the interest rate on this Note will be rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point with five one millionths of a percentage point rounded upwards (e.g., 9.876545% (or .09876545) would be rounded to 9.87655% (or .0987655)), and all dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculation on this Note will be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upward). Each calculation of the interest rate on this Note by Issuer will (in the absence of manifest error) be final and binding on the Noteholder and Issuer.

2. Subordinated Note. This Note is the Subordinated Note referred to in the Subordinated Note Purchase Agreement by and between the Noteholder and the Issuer dated March 5, 2015.

3. Subordination. The indebtedness of Issuer evidenced by the Subordinated Notes, including the principal and interest on this Note, shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the following, whether now outstanding or subsequently created, assumed or incurred (collectively, “Senior Indebtedness”): (a) all indebtedness of Issuer for borrowed or purchased money, whether or not evidenced by bonds, debentures, securities, notes or other written instruments; (b) any deferred obligations of Issuer for the payment of the purchase price of property, goods, materials, assets or services purchased or acquired by Issuer and accrued liabilities arising in the ordinary course of business; (c) all obligations, contingent or otherwise, of Issuer in respect of any letters of credit, bankers’ acceptances, security purchase facilities and similar credit transactions; (d) any capital lease obligations of Issuer; (e) all obligations of Issuer in respect of interest rate swap, cap or other agreements, interest rate future or option contracts, currency swap agreements, currency future or option contacts, commodity contracts and other similar arrangements; (f) any obligation of Issuer to its general creditors, as defined for purposes of the capital adequacy regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System applicable to Issuer, as the same may be amended or modified from time to time (the “Capital Adequacy Regulations”); (g) all obligations of the type referred to in clauses (a) through (f) of other persons for the payment of which Issuer is responsible or liable as obligor, guarantor or otherwise; and (h) all obligations of the types referred to in clauses (a) through (g) of other persons secured by a lien on any property or asset of Issuer; except “Senior Indebtedness” does not include (i) this Note, (ii) any obligation that by its terms is on parity with this Subordinated Note, (iii) any indebtedness between Issuer and any of its subsidiaries or affiliates or (iv) the Junior Subordinated Indebtedness (as defined below).

In the event of any insolvency, dissolution, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization, restructuring of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings or any liquidation or winding up of or relating to Issuer, whether voluntary or involuntary, holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled to be paid in full before any payment shall be made on account of the principal of or interest on this Note. In the event of any such proceeding, after payment in full of all sums owing with respect to the Senior Indebtedness, the registered holder of this Note from time to time (the “Noteholder”), together with the holders of any obligations of Issuer ranking on a parity with this Note, shall be entitled to be paid from the remaining assets of Issuer the unpaid principal thereof and the unpaid interest thereon before any payment or other distribution, whether in cash, property or otherwise, shall be made on account of any capital stock or any present or future obligations of Issuer ranking junior to this Note (collectively, “Junior Subordinated Indebtedness”), which includes any obligation that by its terms is expressly subordinated to this Note.

If there shall have occurred and be continuing (a) a default in any payment with respect to any Senior Indebtedness or (b) an event of default with respect to any Senior Indebtedness as a result of which the maturity thereof is accelerated, unless and until such payment default or event of default shall have been cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist, no payments shall be made by Issuer with respect to this Note. The provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to any payment with respect to which the immediately preceding paragraph of this Section 3 would be applicable.

Nothing herein shall impair the obligation of Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note in accordance with its terms. Nothing herein shall act to prohibit, limit or impede Issuer from issuing additional debt of Issuer having the same rank as this Note or which may be junior or senior in rank to this Note.

4. Merger and Sale of Assets. Issuer shall not consolidate or merge into another entity or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any person, unless:

(a) the continuing entity which results from such consolidation or merger, if not Issuer, or the person which acquires by conveyance or transfer or which leases the properties and assets of Issuer substantially as an entirety shall be a corporation, association or other legal entity organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia and expressly assumes the due and punctual payment of the principal of and interest on this Note according to their terms, and the due and punctual performance of all covenants and conditions hereof on the part of Issuer to be performed or observed; and

(b) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Event of Default (as defined below), and no event which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would become an Event of Default, shall have happened and be continuing.

5. Events of Default; Acceleration. If any of the following events shall occur and be continuing (each an “Event of Default”):

(a) Issuer or any major subsidiary depository institution (as defined for purposes of the Capital Adequacy Regulations, a “Major Subsidiary Depository Institution”) of Issuer shall commence a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, reorganization or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or shall consent to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, trustee or other similar official in any liquidation, insolvency or similar proceeding with respect to Issuer or all or substantially all of its property, or shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or

(b) a court or other governmental agency or body having jurisdiction shall enter a decree or order for the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, trustee or other similar official in any liquidation, insolvency or similar proceeding with respect to Issuer or a Major Subsidiary Depository Institution of Issuer or all or substantially all of the property of Issuer or a Major Subsidiary Depository Institution of Issuer, or for the winding up of the affairs or business of Issuer or a Major Subsidiary Depository Institution, and such decree or order shall have remained in force for 60 days; or

(c) Issuer is notified that it is considered an institution in “troubled condition” within the meaning of 12 U.S.C. Section 1831i and the regulations promulgated thereunder; or

(d) Issuer (a) becomes insolvent or is unable to pay its debts as they mature, (b) makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or (c) admits in writing its inability to pay its debts as they mature; or

(e) Issuer materially breaches any of the representations, warranties or covenants made by it in the Agreement and such breach continues for 30 days after written notice from the Noteholder to Issuer thereof; provided that if such breach cannot be reasonably cured within such 30 day period, Issuer shall have a reasonable additional period of time, not to exceed an additional 60 days, to cure such breach, as long as it is doing so diligently and in good faith; or

(f) Issuer fails to make any required payment of principal or interest hereunder when due and payable (and, in the case of payment of interest, such failure to pay shall have continued for 30 calendar days);

then, in the case of an Event of Default described in the foregoing clauses (a) or (b), unless the principal of this Note already shall have become due and payable, the Noteholder of this Note, by notice in writing to Issuer, may declare the principal amount of this Note to be due and payable immediately and, upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable. Issuer waives demand, presentment for payment, notice of nonpayment, notice of protest, and all other notices.

6. Failure to Make Payment. In the event of the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 5(f), Issuer will, upon demand of the Noteholder, pay to the Noteholder the whole amount then due and payable on this Note for principal and interest (without acceleration), with interest on the overdue principal and interest at the rate borne by this Note, to the extent permitted by applicable law. If Issuer fails to pay such amount upon such demand, the Noteholder may, among other things, institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against Issuer and collect the amounts adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of Issuer.

During the continuance of such an Event of Default described in Section 5(f), Issuer shall not (a) declare or pay any dividends or distributions on, or redeem, purchase, acquire, or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any of Issuer’s capital stock, (b) make any payment of principal or interest or premium, if any, on or repay, repurchase or redeem any debt securities of Issuer that rank equal with or junior to this Note, or (c) make any payments under any guarantee that ranks equal with or junior to this Note, other than (i) any dividends or distributions in shares of, or options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or purchase shares of, any class of Issuer’s common stock, (ii) any declaration of a noncash dividend in connection with the implementation of a stockholders’ rights plan, or the issuance of stock under any such plan in the future, or the redemption or repurchase of any such rights pursuant thereto, (iii) as a result of a reclassification of Issuer’s capital stock or the exchange or conversion of one class or series of Issuer’s capital stock for another class or series of Issuer’s capital stock, (iv) the purchase of fractional interests in shares of Issuer’s capital stock pursuant to the conversion or exchange provisions of such capital stock or the security being converted or exchanged, or (v) purchases of any class of Issuer’s common stock related to the issuance of common stock or rights under any of benefit plans for Issuer’s directors, officers or employees or any of Issuer’s dividend reinvestment plans.

7. Redemption; Prepayment; Capital Treatment Event Redemption . Issuer, in its discretion, shall have the right to redeem or prepay any or all of this Note, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, at any time after the Conversion Date and prior to the Maturity Date, but in all cases in a principal amount with integral multiples of $1,000, on any Interest Payment Date at a price of 100% of the principal amount of this Note to be redeemed or prepaid on such date, plus interest accrued and unpaid to the date of redemption or prepayment. If less than the entire amount of this Note is to be redeemed or prepaid, the notice of redemption or prepayment shall state the portion of the principal amount to be redeemed or prepaid and shall state that on and after the date fixed for redemption or prepayment, upon surrender of this Note, a new Note in principal amount equal to the unpaid portion thereof will be issued.

If all or any portion of this Note ceases to be deemed to be Tier 2 Capital due to a change in applicable capital regulations (a “Capital Treatment Event”), Issuer shall have the right to redeem, on any Interest Payment Date, all or a portion of this Note at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of this Note to be redeemed, plus accrued but unpaid interest to the date of redemption.

In the case of any redemption or prepayment of this Note, Issuer will give notice to the Noteholder not less than 30 nor more than 45 calendar days prior to the redemption or prepayment date as to the aggregate principal amount to be redeemed or prepaid.

Any such redemption or prepayment shall be subject to the prior approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or its designee) or any successor agency to the extent such approval shall then be required by law, regulation or policy.

8. Repayment; Payment Procedures. Issuer shall repay the aggregate principal amount of this Note plus all accrued but unpaid interest thereon in full on the Maturity Date. Payment of the principal and interest payable on the Maturity Date will be made by check, or by wire transfer in immediately available funds to a bank account in the United States designated by the registered Noteholder if such Noteholder shall have previously provided wire instructions to Issuer, upon presentation and surrender of this Note at the Payment Office (as defined in Section 13 below) or at such other place or places as Issuer shall designate by notice to the registered Noteholder as the Payment Office, provided that this Note is presented to Issuer in time for Issuer to make such payments in such funds in accordance with its normal procedures. Payments of interest (other than interest payable on the Maturity Date) shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds (if such Noteholder shall have previously provided wire transfer instructions to Issuer) or check mailed to the registered Noteholder as such person’s address appears on the Security Register (as defined below). Interest payable on any Interest Payment Date shall be payable to the Noteholder in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on the December 15, March 15, June 15 or September 15, as the case may be (whether or not a Business Day), next preceding such Interest Payment Date (such date being referred to herein as the “Regular Record Date”) for such Interest Payment Date, except that interest not paid on the Interest Payment Date, if any, will be paid to the Noteholder in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on a special record date fixed by Issuer (a “Special Record Date”) notice of which shall be given to the holder not less than 10 calendar days prior to such Special Record Date. (The Regular Record Date and Special Record Date are referred to herein collectively as the “Record Dates”). To the extent permitted by applicable law, interest shall accrue, at the rate at which interest accrues on the principal of this Note, on any amount of principal or interest on this Note not paid when due. All payments on this Note shall be applied first to accrued interest and then the balance, if any, to principal. Presentment and surrender of this Note are hereby waived by Issuer.

9. Form of Payment. Payments of principal and interest on this Note shall be made in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.

10. Registration of Transfer; Security Register. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Note is transferable in whole or in part, and may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Subordinated Notes of other authorized denominations, by the Noteholder in person, or by his attorney duly authorized in writing, at the Payment Office (as defined in Section 13 below). Issuer shall maintain a register providing for the registration of the Subordinated Notes and any exchange or transfer thereof (the “Security Register”). Upon surrender or presentation of this Note for exchange or registration of transfer, Issuer shall execute and deliver in exchange therefor a Subordinated Note or Subordinated Notes in substantially the form hereof of like aggregate principal amount, each in a minimum denomination of $10,000 or any amount in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of $1,000 (and, in the absence of an opinion of counsel satisfactory to Issuer to the contrary, bearing the restrictive legend(s) set forth hereinabove) and that is or are registered in such name or names requested by the Noteholder. Any Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall be duly endorsed and accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in such form as is attached hereto and incorporated herein, duly executed by the Noteholder or his attorney duly authorized in writing, with such tax identification number or other information for each person in whose name a Subordinated Note is to be issued, and accompanied by evidence of compliance with any restrictive legend(s) appearing on such Subordinated Note or Subordinated Notes as Issuer may reasonably request to comply with applicable law. No exchange or registration of transfer of this Note shall be made during the period on or after the 15 day immediately preceding the Maturity Date. This Note is subject to the restrictions on transfer of the Agreement, a copy of which is on file with Issuer.

11. Charges and Transfer Taxes. No service charge (other than any cost of delivery) shall be imposed for any exchange or registration of transfer of this Note, but Issuer may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp or other tax or governmental fee or charge that may be imposed in connection therewith (or presentation of evidence that such tax, charge or fee has been paid).

12. Ownership. Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, Issuer may treat the Noteholder in whose name this Note is registered in the Security Register as the absolute owner of this Note for receiving payments of principal and interest on this Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not this Note be overdue, and Issuer shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.

13. Notices. All notices to Issuer under this Note shall be in writing and addressed to Issuer at DNB Financial Corporation, 4 Brandywine Avenue, Downingtown, Pennsylvania 19335, Attention: Gerald F. Sopp, CFO, or to such other address as Issuer may notify to the Noteholder (the “Payment Office”). All notices to the Noteholder shall be in writing and sent by overnight mail to the Noteholder at his or its address as set forth in the Security Register.

14. Denominations. This Note is issuable only as a fully registered Note without interest coupons in minimum denominations of $10,000 or any amount in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of $1,000.

15. Absolute and Unconditional Obligation of Issuer. No provisions of this Note shall alter or impair the obligation of Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal and interest on this Note at the times, places and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

16. Waiver and Consent.

(a) Any consent or waiver given by the Noteholder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Noteholder and upon all future Noteholders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

(b) No delay or omission of the Noteholder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein.

(c) Any insured depository institution which shall be a Noteholder of this Note or which otherwise shall have any beneficial ownership interest in this Note shall, by its acceptance of such Note (or beneficial interest therein), be deemed to have waived any right of offset with respect to the indebtedness evidenced thereby.

17. Further Issues. Provided that such notes qualify as Tier 2 Capital (as defined in the Agreement), Issuer may, without the consent of the Noteholder, create and issue additional notes having the same terms and conditions of this Note (except for the issue date, interest rate, issue price, and maturity date) so that such further notes shall be consolidated and form a single series with this Note. Any such issuance will either be registered or issued pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act.

18. Governing Law; Interpretation. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with applicable federal law of the United States of America and the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to conflict of laws principles of said state. This Note is intended to meet the criteria for qualification of the outstanding principal as Tier 2 Capital under the Capital Adequacy Regulations, and the terms hereof shall be interpreted in a manner to satisfy such intent.

WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Note to be duly executed and attested and its corporate seal to be hereunto affixed.

4.6.9. Taxes. Issuer and its Subsidiaries have filed all Tax Returns that they were required to file under applicable laws and regulations, other than Tax Returns that are not yet due or for which a request for extension was filed. All such Tax Returns were correct and complete in all material respects and have been prepared in substantial compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

4.6.11. Use of Proceeds. Issuer will use the proceeds from the sale of the Subordinated Note for general corporate purposes. The use of such proceeds does not and will not violate Section 7 of the Exchange of Act of 1934, as amended, or any regulations issued pursuant thereto.

4.7. Issuer Status.

4.7.1. Investment Company Act. Issuer is not an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

4.8. No Misstatement. The Issuer’s Reports when they were filed (or, if any amendment with respect to any such document was filed, when such amendment was filed), complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. No such Issuer’s Report, at the time it was filed with the Commission, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading.

4.9. Representations and Warranties Generally. All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made in this Agreement shall be deemed to have been relied upon by the Noteholder and, furthermore, shall continue in full force and effect as long as there remains unperformed any obligations to the Noteholder hereunder or under the Subordinated Note.

5. GENERAL COVENANTS, CONDITIONS AND AGREEMENTS.

Issuer hereby further covenants and agrees with each Noteholder as follows:

5.1. Compliance with Transaction Documents. Issuer shall comply with, observe and timely perform each and every one of the covenants, agreements and obligations under this Agreement and the Subordinated Note.

5.2. Compliance with Laws.

5.2.1. Generally. Issuer shall comply and cause each Subsidiary of Issuer to comply in all material respects with all applicable statutes, rules, regulations, orders and restrictions in respect of the conduct of their respective businesses and the ownership of their respective properties, except, in each case, where such noncompliance would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Issuer or such Subsidiary.

5.2.2. Regulated Activities. Issuer shall not itself, nor shall it cause, permit or allow any Subsidiary of Issuer to (a) engage in any business or activity not permitted by all applicable laws and regulations, except where such business or activity would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Issuer and/or such Subsidiary or (b) make any loan or advance secured by the capital stock of another bank or depository institution, or acquire the capital stock, assets or obligations of or any interest in another bank or depository institution, in each case other than in accordance with applicable laws and regulations and safe and sound banking practices.

5.2.3. Taxes. Issuer shall, and shall cause each Subsidiary of Issuer to, promptly pay and discharge all taxes, assessments and other governmental charges imposed upon Issuer or any such Subsidiary or upon the income, profits, or property of Issuer or any such Subsidiary and all claims for labor, material or supplies which, if unpaid, might by law become a lien or charge upon the property of Issuer or any such Subsidiary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Issuer or any Subsidiary of Issuer shall be required to pay any such tax, assessment, charge or claim, so long as the validity thereof shall be contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, and appropriate reserves therefor shall be maintained on the books of Issuer and such other Subsidiary.

5.2.4. Environmental Matters. Except as would not, singly or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect on Issuer or any Subsidiary of Issuer, Issuer shall: (a) exercise, and cause each such Subsidiary to exercise, due diligence in order to comply in all material respects with all Hazardous Materials Laws; and (b) promptly take any and all necessary remedial action in connection with any Condition or Release or threatened Condition or Release on, under or about any Property in order to comply in all material respects with all applicable Hazardous Materials Laws; provided, however, that Issuer shall not be deemed to be in breach of the foregoing covenant if and to the extent it has not taken such remedial actions due to (x) its diligent pursuit of an available statutory or administrative exemption from compliance with the relevant Hazardous Materials Law from the appropriate Governmental Agency (and no penalties for non-compliance with the relevant Hazardous Materials Law(s) shall accrue as a result of such non-compliance, without rebate or waiver if such exemption or waiver is granted), or (y) is actively and diligently contesting in good faith any Governmental Agency’s order, determination or decree with respect to the applicability or interpretation of any such relevant Hazardous Materials Law and/or the actions required under such laws or regulations in respect of such Condition or Release. In the event Issuer or any other Subsidiary of Issuer undertakes any remedial action with respect to such Hazardous Material on, under or about any Property, Issuer or such Subsidiary shall conduct and complete such remedial action in compliance with all applicable Hazardous Materials Laws and in accordance with the policies, orders and directives of all Governmental Agencies.

Issuer shall do or cause to be done all things reasonably necessary to maintain, preserve and renew its corporate existence and that of all Subsidiaries of Issuer and its and their rights and franchises, and comply in all material respects with all related laws applicable to Issuer or such Subsidiaries; provided, however, that Issuer may consummate a merger in which (a) Issuer is the surviving entity or (b) if Issuer is not the surviving entity, the surviving entity assumes, by operation of law or otherwise, all of the obligations of Issuer under the Subordinated Note. Should a merger occur, Issuer or the surviving entity shall obtain and maintain in effect all licenses, certificates, permits, franchise and other governmental authorizations necessary to (a) the ownership of Issuer’s property and the property of its Subsidiaries and (b) the conduct of Issuer’s business and the business of its Subsidiaries.

5.3. Tier 2 Capital. If all or any portion of the Subordinated Note ceases to be deemed to be Tier 2 Capital under the risk-based capital rules of the Federal Reserve as in effect as of the date of this Agreement (and that will become effective with respect to Issuer as of January 1, 2015), other than due to the limitation imposed on the capital treatment of subordinated debt during the five years immediately preceding the Maturity Date of the Subordinated Note, Issuer will immediately notify the Noteholder, and thereafter Issuer and the Noteholder will work together in good faith to execute and deliver all agreements as reasonably necessary in order to restructure the applicable portions of the obligations evidenced by the Subordinated Note to qualify as Tier 2 Capital.

6. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF THE NOTEHOLDER.

Each Noteholder hereby represents and warrants to Issuer, severally and not jointly, as follows:

6.3. No Conflicts. Neither the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement nor the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated hereby will conflict with, violate, constitute a breach of or a default (with the passage of time or otherwise) under (i) its organizational documents, (ii) any agreement to which it is party, (iii) any law applicable to it, or (iv) any order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award binding upon or affecting it; except, in the case of items (ii), (iii) or (iv), for such violations and conflicts that would not reasonably be expected to have, singularly or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on the Noteholder.

6.4. Accredited Investor. It is and will be on the Closing Date an “accredited investor,” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

6.5. Purchase for Own Account.

It further understands and acknowledges that Issuer will not be obligated in the future to register the Subordinated Note under the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or under any state securities laws. Issuer has not made and is not making any representation, warranty or covenant, express or implied, as to the availability of any exemption from registration under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws for the resale, pledge or other transfer of the Subordinated Note, or that the Subordinated Note(s) purchased by the Noteholder will ever be able to be lawfully resold, pledged or otherwise transferred.

6.8. Ability to Bear Economic Risk of Investment. It recognizes that an investment in the Subordinated Note involves substantial risk.

6.9. No Offering Memorandum. It acknowledges that: (i) it is not being provided with the disclosures that would be required if the offer and sale of the Subordinated Note was registered under the Securities Act, nor is it being provided with any offering circular or prospectus prepared in connection with the offer and sale of the Subordinated Note; (ii) it has conducted its own examination of Issuer, the Subsidiaries of Issuer and the terms of the Subordinated Note to the extent it deems necessary to make its decision to invest in the Subordinated Note; and (iii) it has availed itself of public access to financial and other information concerning Issuer and its Subsidiaries to the extent it deems necessary to make its decision to purchase the Subordinated Note.

6.11. Investment Decision. It has made its own investment decision based upon its own judgment, due diligence and advice from such advisors as it has deemed necessary and not upon any view expressed by any other person or entity. Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigations conducted by it or its advisors or representatives, if any, shall modify, amend or affect its right to rely on Issuer’s representations and warranties contained herein. It is not relying upon, and has not relied upon, any advice, statement, representation or warranty made by any Person by or on behalf of Issuer, except for the express statements, representations and warranties of Issuer made or contained in this Agreement. Furthermore, it acknowledges that (1) no Person has performed any due diligence review on behalf of Noteholder and (2) nothing in this Agreement or any other materials presented by or on behalf of Issuer to Noteholder in connection with the purchase of the Subordinated Note constitutes legal, tax or investment advice.

7. MISCELLANEOUS.

7.1. Prohibition on Assignment. Issuer may not assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights under this Agreement or the Subordinated Note without the prior written consent of the Noteholder.

7.2. Waiver or Amendment. No waiver or amendment of any term, provision, condition, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or the Subordinated Note shall be effective except with the consent of the Noteholder. No failure to exercise or delay in exercising, by any holder of the Subordinated Note, of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right or remedy provided by law. The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any right or remedy provided by law or equity. No notice or demand on Issuer in any case shall, in itself, entitle Issuer to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of Noteholder to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. No consent or waiver, expressed or implied, by Noteholder to or of any breach or default by Issuer in the performance of its obligations hereunder shall be deemed or construed to be a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance of the same or any other obligations of Issuer hereunder. Failure on the part of Noteholder to complain of any acts or failure to act or to declare an Event of Default, irrespective of how long such failure continues, shall not constitute a waiver by Noteholder of its rights hereunder or impair any rights, powers or remedies on account of any breach or default by Issuer.

7.3. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is unenforceable or invalid or contrary to law, or the inclusion of which would adversely affect the validity, legality or enforcement of this Agreement, shall be of no effect and, in such case, all the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall subsist and be fully effective according to the tenor of this Agreement the same as though any such invalid portion had never been included herein. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, if any provisions of this Agreement or the application thereof are held invalid or unenforceable only as to particular persons or situations, the remainder of this Agreement, and the application of such provision to persons or situations other than those to which it shall have been held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, but shall continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

7.4. Usury; Revival of Liabilities. All agreements between Issuer and the Noteholder (including, without limitation, this Agreement and the Subordinated Note) are expressly limited so that in no event whatsoever shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to the Noteholder exceed the highest lawful rate of interest permissible under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. If the Noteholder shall ever receive as interest an amount which would be deemed unlawful, such interest shall be applied to the payment of the principal of the Subordinated Note (whether or not then due and payable) and not to the payment of interest. To the extent that the Noteholder receive any payment on account of Issuer’s Liabilities and any such payment(s) and/or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, subordinated and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any bankruptcy act, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such payment(s) or proceeds received, Issuer’s Liabilities or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment(s) and/or proceeds had not been received by the Noteholder and applied on account of Issuer’s Liabilities; provided, however, if the Noteholder successfully contests any such invalidation, declaration, set aside, subordination or other order to pay any such payment and/or proceeds to any third party, the revived Issuer’s Liabilities shall be deemed satisfied.

7.5. Notices. Any notice which any party hereto may be required or may desire to give hereunder shall be deemed to have been given if in writing and if delivered personally, or if mailed, postage prepaid, by United States registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or if delivered by a nationally recognized commercial courier (such as Federal Express), addressed:

No party, in entering into this Agreement, has relied upon any representation, warranty, covenant, condition or other term that is not set forth in this Agreement or in the Subordinated Note.

7.10. Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without giving effect to its laws or principles of conflict of laws.

Each of the parties hereto waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any action or proceeding so brought and waives any bond, surety or other security that might be required of any other party with respect thereto. To the extent permitted by applicable law, any party hereto may make service on another party by sending or delivering a copy of the process to the party to be served at the address and in the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section 7.5. Nothing in this Section 7.10, however, shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit any rights, powers or privileges which Noteholder may have pursuant to any law of the United States of America or any rule, regulation or order of any department or agency thereof, and nothing herein shall be deemed to make unlawful any transaction or conduct by the Noteholder which is lawful pursuant to, or which is permitted by, any of the foregoing.

7.11. No Third Party Beneficiary. This Agreement is made for the sole benefit of Issuer and each Noteholder, and no other person shall be deemed to have any privity of contract hereunder nor any right to rely hereon to any extent or for any purpose whatsoever, nor shall any other person have any right of action of any kind hereon or be deemed to be a third party beneficiary hereunder.

7.13. Captions; Counterparts. Captions contained in this Agreement in no way define, limit or extend the scope or intent of their respective provisions. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature page were an original thereof.

7.14. Knowledge; Discretion. All references herein to the Noteholder’s or Issuer’s knowledge shall be deemed to mean the knowledge of such party based on commercially reasonable inquiry. All references herein to Issuer’s knowledge shall be deemed to refer to the knowledge of Issuer and each Subsidiary of Issuer. Unless specified to the contrary herein, all references herein to an exercise of discretion or judgment by the Noteholder, to the making of a determination or designation by the Noteholder, to the application of the Noteholder’s discretion or opinion, to the granting or withholding of the Noteholder’s consent or approval, to the consideration of whether a matter or thing is satisfactory or acceptable to the Noteholder, or otherwise involving the decision making of the Noteholder, shall be deemed to mean that such the Noteholder shall decide in its sole and absolute discretion.

7.15. Waiver Of Right To Jury Trial.
