AMENDMENT NUMBER ONE TO
HUDSON UNITED BANCORP
SEVERANCE PLAN

BY THIS AMENDMENT NUMBER ONE, the Hudson United Bancorp (the“Company”) Severance Plan is hereby amended as follows, effective July 11, 2005:

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, TD Banknorth Inc. (“TD Banknorth”) has agreed that the Company amend its Severance Plan as set forth below prior to the execution of an Agreement and Plan of Merger in order to provide for enhanced severance to officers and employees and to make certain other changes; and

WHEREAS, the Company believes that the Amendment is in the best interests of the Company.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Directors of the Company has duly adopted the amendments to the Severance Plan as set forth below.

1. Section 2 of the Severance Plan is amended to add new Sections 2c and 2d to read in their entirety as follows, with existing Sections 2c through 2l to be re-numbered as appropriate:

	“c.		“Change of Control” shall mean a change in the ownership of the
			Company, a change in the effective control of the Company or a change in
			the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company as
			provided under Section 409A of the Code, as amended from time to time,
			and any Internal Revenue Service guidance, including Notice 2005-1, and
			regulations issued in connection with Section 409A of the Code.

	d.		“Code” shall mean the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from
			time to time.”

2. Existing Section 2l of the Severance Plan, which has been re-numbered as new Section 2n pursuant to Section 1 of this Amendment, is amended to read in its entirety as follows:

	“n.		“Years of Service” shall mean the period of service with the Company
			commencing on the Participant’s most recent date of hire and ending on
			the Participant’s date of Termination. If the Participant was previously
			employed by the Employer and was subsequently re-hired after a break in
			service, only service from the most recent date of hire shall be taken into
			account. Years of Service with a predecessor employer shall be taken into
			account only if so specified in the acquisition agreement with such

					predecessor employer. A completed Year of Service shall mean a 365 day
					period, ending on the anniversary of the most recent date of hire.”

3. Section 3b of the Severance Plan is amended to read in its entirety as follows:

			“b.		Terminations Which Give Rise to Severance Pay

					A Participant is entitled to receive Severance Pay if the Company
					permanently terminates the Participant’s employment either before a
					Change of Control or within 12 months following a Change of Control due
					to (i) conversion of a full-time position to a part-time position (and the
					Participant refuses to accept said position); (ii) a reduction in force; or
					(iii) an involuntary termination for reasons other than those set forth in
					Section 3c below.”

4. Section 3d of the Severance Plan is amended to read in its entirety as follows:


			“d.	Receipt of Severance Pay

	Severance Pay shall be payable in a lump sum on the first regularly
	scheduled payroll date that occurs at least ten (10) business days after the
	later of (i) the date the Plan Administrator receives from the Participant a
	signed Separation Agreement and General Release (the “Release”), (ii) the
	expiration of the revocation period set forth in the Release, and (iii) the
	date of Termination, provided that such payment shall be delayed for key
	employees for six months to the extent required by Section 409A of the
	Code. The receipt of any Severance Pay hereunder is conditioned on a
	written release of all claims against the Company in the form provided by
	the Plan Administrator. In addition, the receipt of Severance Pay
	hereunder is conditioned for the Chairman, President, Chief Executive
	Officer and any Executive Vice President on the receipt of an executed

			together with other payments and benefits which the Participant has the
			right to receive from the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates,
			or any of their successors, would constitute a “parachute payment” under
			Section 280G of the Code, the Severance Pay payable by the Company
			pursuant to Section 4a hereof shall be reduced by the amount, if any,
			which is the minimum necessary to result in no portion of the payments
			and benefits payable by the Company under Section 4a being non-
			deductible to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, or any of
			their successors, pursuant to Section 280G of the Code and subject to the
			excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code. The determination of
			any reduction in the payments and benefits to be made pursuant to Section
			4a shall be based upon the opinion of independent counsel selected by the
			Company and paid by the Company. Nothing contained herein shall result
			in a reduction of any payments or benefits to which the Participant may be
			entitled upon termination of employment under any circumstances other
			than as specified in this Section 4c, or a reduction in the payments and
			benefits specified in Section 4a below zero. This Section 4c shall not apply
			to the President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Company.

6. All other provisions of the Severance Plan shall continue in full force and effect.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Amendment has been executed this 11th day of July 2005.
