ACTIVE/80937928.1 AMENDMENT TO CAMDEN NATIONAL CORPORATION 2012 EQUITY AND INCENTIVE PLAN A. The Camden National Corporation 2012 Equity and Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), is hereby amended as follows: 1. Section 3(c) of the Plan is hereby amended by deleting such section in its entirety and substituting the following in lieu thereof: “‘In the case of and subject to the consummation of (i) the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, (ii) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company on a consolidated basis to an unrelated person or entity, (iii) a merger, reorganization or consolidation in which the outstanding shares of Stock are converted into or exchanged for a different kind of securities of the successor entity and the holders of the Company’s outstanding voting power immediately prior to such transaction do not own a majority of the outstanding voting power of the successor entity immediately upon completion of such transaction, or (iv) the sale of all of the Stock of the Company to an unrelated person or entity (in each case, a ‘Sale Event’), the parties thereto may cause the assumption or continuation of Awards theretofore granted by the successor entity, or the substitution of such Awards with new Awards of the successor entity or parent thereof, with appropriate adjustment as to the number and kind of shares and, if appropriate, the per share exercise prices, as such parties shall agree. To the extent the parties to such Sale Event do not provide for the assumption, continuation or substitution of Awards, upon the effective time of the Sale Event, the Plan and all outstanding Awards granted hereunder shall terminate. In such case, except as may be otherwise provided in the relevant award agreement, all Options and Stock Appreciation Rights that are not exercisable immediately prior to the effective time of the Sale Event shall become fully exercisable as of the effective time of the Sale Event, all other Awards with time-based vesting, conditions or restrictions shall become fully vested and nonforfeitable as of the effective time of the Sale Event, and all Awards with conditions and restrictions relating to the attainment of performance goals may become vested and nonforfeitable in connection with a Sale Event in the Committee’s discretion or to the extent specified in the relevant award agreement. In the event of such termination, each grantee shall be permitted, within a specified period of time prior to the consummation of the Sale Event as determined by the


 
2 ACTIVE/80937928.1 Committee, to exercise all outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights held by such grantee, including those that will become exercisable upon the consummation of the Sale Event; provided, however, that the exercise of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights not exercisable prior to the Sale Event shall be subject to the consummation of the Sale Event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3(c), in the event of a Sale Event pursuant to which holders of the Stock of the Company will receive upon consummation thereof a cash payment for each share surrendered in the Sale Event, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to make or provide for a cash payment to the grantees holding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights in exchange for the cancellation thereof, in an amount equal to the difference between (A) the value as determined by the Committee of the consideration payable per share of Stock pursuant to the Sale Event (the ‘Sale Price’) times the number of shares of Stock subject to outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights (to the extent then exercisable at prices not in excess of the Sale Price) and (B) the aggregate exercise price of all such outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights. Transactions under this provision must be made in a manner that the Options and SAR’s remain exempt from the application of Code Section 409A.” 2. Sections 20(a) and (b) of the Plan are hereby amended by deleting such sections in their entirety and substituting the following in lieu thereof: “(a) [intentionally omitted] (b) [intentionally omitted]” B. Except as otherwise so amended, the Plan is confirmed in all other respects. C. The effective date of this Amendment is as of March 9, 2015. Executed this ninth day of March, 2015 by a duly authorized officer of Camden National Corporation. CAMDEN NATIONAL CORPORATION By:
