Summary of Advanta Corp. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan

On February 11, 2005, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of
Advanta Corp. and the Board of Directors approved and established the Advanta
Corp. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the “SERP”). The SERP was
established in order to provide Dennis Alter, Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer, with certain retirement benefits in recognition of his more than
45 years of service to the Company. Subject to the vesting requirements
described below, under the terms of the SERP, Mr. Alter will be entitled to an
annual retirement benefit of $625,000 upon reaching age 70 for his and his
spouse’s lives. The amount payable was determined based on a percentage of Mr.
Alter’s 2001 base salary and target bonus. The annual benefit vests ratably over
an eight year period beginning in 2005. In the event of death, disability or a
change in control, as defined in the SERP, the annual benefit will become fully
vested and immediately payable. In the event of a change in control, Mr. Alter
is also entitled to receive a gross up for excise taxes that arise and for the
reimbursement for such taxes.
