KEY EMPLOYEE 
  
 SEVERANCE PAY PLAN 
  
 AMENDED AND RESTATED – December 12, 2007 

 ARTICLE I 
  
 PURPOSE OF PLAN 
  
 Section 1.01 Purpose of the Plan. The Susquehanna Bancshares, Inc. Key Employee Severance Pay Plan (the “Plan”), as set forth
herein, is intended to alleviate financial hardships which may be experienced by senior executives and other key employees of Susquehanna Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”) and the Company’s Affiliates whose employment is terminated
under specified circumstances within one (1) year following a Change of Control of the Company, and to reinforce and encourage the continued attention and dedication of those senior executives and other key employees to their assigned duties
without distraction from a potential Change of Control of the Company. The Plan is not intended to be an “employee pension benefit plan” or a “pension plan” as defined in Section 3(2) of ERISA. Rather, this Plan is intended
to meet the criteria set forth in 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-2(b) for a “severance pay plan” that is an “employee welfare benefit plan” within the meaning of Section 3(1) of ERISA. Accordingly, the benefits paid by the Plan are
not deferred compensation. In return for the benefits provided to the Participants under the Plan, each Participant agrees that he or she will not solicit the customers and employees of the Company and its Affiliates under the circumstances
described in Article VII of this Plan document. 
  
 Section 1.02 Restatement of Plan. This amended and restated Plan amends and replaces the earlier Plan dated January, 1999 as well as the First Amendment dated May 26, 2000, the Second Amendment dated February 22, 2001,
the Amended and Restated Plan dated April 20, 2005 and the Amended and Restated Plan dated October 18, 2006.

 Section 5.02 Additional Benefits. For a period of one (1) year following the Participant’s Termination Date, the Participant shall
be entitled to participate in all employee benefit plans or programs, and to receive all benefits, perquisites and emoluments, for which any salaried employees of the Company are eligible under any plan or program in effect on the Participant’s

(15) days after such determination by such actuary. Further notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Plan shall preclude the amendment or termination of any such plan or program, provided that such amendment or termination is applicable

and not in lieu of any payments or benefits due to the Participant under any other plan, policy or program of the Company, except that if a Participant receives Benefits under this Plan following a Change of Control, the Participant shall not be
entitled to receive additional payments as a result of the same Change of Control under the Company’s severance pay plan for employees.

 ENFORCEMENT AND REMEDIES 
  
 Section 6.01 Interest. In the event that the Company shall fail or refuse to make payment of any amounts or provide any other Benefits due the Participant under Article V hereof within the respective time
periods provided therein, the Company shall pay to the Participant, in addition to the payment of any other sums provided in this Plan, interest, compounded daily, on any amount remaining unpaid (including the amount of any other Benefit due but
unpaid) from the date payment is required under Article V, as appropriate, until paid to the Participant, at the rate from time to time announced by Chase Manhattan Company as its “prime rate” plus two percent (2%), each change in such
rate to take effect on the effective date of the change in such prime rate. 
  
 Section 6.02 Expenses. It is the intent of the Company that the Participant not be required to incur any expenses associated with the successful enforcement of his rights under this Plan by arbitration,
litigation or other legal action because the cost and expense thereof would substantially detract from the benefits intended to be extended to the Participant hereunder. Accordingly, the Company shall pay the Participant on demand the amount
necessary to reimburse the Participant in full for all expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses) incurred by the Participant in successfully enforcing any of the obligations of the Company under this Plan. 

 
 Section 6.03 No Mitigation. The Participant shall not be
required to mitigate any Benefit provided for in this Plan by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor shall any Benefit provided for herein be reduced by any compensation earned or benefit received through other employment or otherwise.

  
 Section 6.04 No Set-Off. The Company’s
obligation to make the payments provided for in this Plan and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any circumstances, including, without limitation, any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right
which the Company may have against the Participant or others.

 Section 6.05 Taxes. Any payment required under this Plan shall be subject to all requirements
of the law with regard to the withholding of taxes, filing, making of reports and the like, and the Company shall use its best efforts to satisfy promptly all such requirements.

under this Plan, the Employee will be required to sign an acknowledgment of receipt and release of claims in a form acceptable to the Company.

 NON-SOLICITATION BY PARTICIPANT 
  
 Section 7.01 Non-Solicitation of Customers and Prospects. While a Participant is employed by the Company or an Affiliate; and, during the applicable Non-Solicitation Period following Termination of
Employment for any reason; the Participant will not solicit any person who was a customer of the Company or any Affiliate during the period of the Participant’s employment with the Company or an Affiliate to become a customer of a Competitor,
or solicit on behalf of a Competitor potential customers who are or were identified through leads developed during the course of the Participant’s employment with the Company or any Affiliate, or otherwise divert or attempt to divert to a
Competitor any existing business of the Company or any Affiliate. 
  
 Section 7.02 Non-Solicitation of Employees. While a Participant is employed by the Company or an Affiliate; and, during the applicable Non-Solicitation Period following Termination of Employment for any reason; the Participant
will not, directly for him or herself or any third party, solicit, induce, recruit or cause another person in the employment of the Company or any Affiliate to terminate his or her employment for the purposes of joining, associating, or becoming
employed with any business or activity which is in competition with any services or financial products sold, or any business or activity engaged in, by Company or any Affiliate. 
  
 Section 7.03 Enforcement. The Participant understands that in the event of a violation of any provision of this
Article, the Company or any Affiliate shall have the right to seek injunctive relief, in addition to any other existing rights provided in this Agreement or by operation of law, without the requirement of posting bond. The remedies provided in this
section shall be in addition to any legal or equitable remedies existing at law or provided for in any other agreement between the Participant, the Company or any Affiliate, and shall not be construed as a limitation upon, or as an alternative or in
lieu of, any such remedies. If any provisions of this section shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable in part by reason of it being too great a period of time or covering too great a geographical area, it shall
be in full force and effect as to that period of time or geographical area determined to be reasonable by the court.

from time to time prior to a Change of Control, to amend, suspend or terminate the Plan in whole or in part, for any reason, and without either the consent of or the prior notification to any Participant. No such amendment, suspension or termination
shall be permitted upon or after a Change of Control. No such amendment shall give the Company the right to recover any amount paid to a Participant prior to the date of such amendment or to cause the cessation and discontinuance of Benefits to any
person or persons under the Plan already receiving Benefits.

shall not be deemed adverse to his/her interest, and the Board of Directors shall proceed as set forth below as though an oral presentation of the contents of the claimant’s written presentation had been made.

claim, within sixty (60) days of the hearing date, which determination shall be accompanied by a written statement as to the reasons therefor.

provision of this Plan shall be held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions hereof, and this Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such provisions had not been included.

Company in accordance with the terms hereof, and to become jointly and severally obligated with the
