	2.	SEVERANCE BENEFITS.

one year after a Change in Control, then the Employer shall pay the Executive, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2, the severance benefits described in this Section 2. The Executive’s separation from service shall be
deemed to be in anticipation of a Change in Control if it occurs within the twelve (12) month period prior to the occurrence of the Change in Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the payment of the severance benefits would constitute
an “excess parachute payment” as defined under Code Section 280G, then the amount of the severance benefits to be paid to the Executive shall be reduced to the extent necessary to ensure that no portion of such payment will be
non-deductible to the Employer by Code Section 280G or will be subject to the excise tax imposed by Code Section 4999 (the “Reduced Payment”), and the Executive shall have no further rights or claims with respect to an amount in
excess of the Reduced Payment. Any determination required under this Section (including, without limitation, the amount of the Reduced Payment and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determination) shall be made by the Employer and
its tax advisors, whose determination shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the Executive. 
 The severance benefits described in this
Section 2 shall equal the following: 
 (a) The Executive shall receive a severance payment equal to two times the
Executive’s Base Compensation, determined as of the Date of Termination, plus an amount equal to the Employer’s share of monthly premium contributions for medical, health, dental, and vision insurance benefits for the Executive and their
eligible dependents, if any, for a period of twelve (12) months, calculated based upon the Employer’s share of monthly premium contributions for such benefits as of the date of the Executive’s Date of Termination. 

(i) Subject to the provisions of Section 2(a)(ii), the Executive’s severance payment shall be paid in a lump sum
on the Employer’s first or second regular payroll date following the date as of which all requirements for payment have been satisfied (including, but not limited to, the execution and delivery of a Release, as described and defined below in
this Section 2, and the expiration of any applicable revocation period) , less any applicable tax withholdings; provided, however, that, if payable, payment shall be made no later than the end of the “applicable 2  1⁄2 month period” (as that phrase is used for purposes of the short-term deferral exemption to Code Section 409A found in Treasury Regulation
Section 1.409A-1(b)(4). 

 (ii) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2(a)(i), if the
Executive is a Key Employee on the Executive’s Date of Termination and any portion of the severance payment is greater than the Exemption Amount and not eligible for any other exemption from Section 409A of the Code, then such portion of
the severance payment shall be paid in a lump sum on the first day of the seventh (7th) month following the Executive’s Date of Termination. 

(iii) Any taxable cash payments under this Section 8.3.3 are intended to be separation pay that is exempt from Code
Section 409A by reason of the exemption for certain separation pay set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii).

(b) 
 In the event
of a Change in Control, all stock options granted but unexercised under the Bar Harbor Bankshares and Subsidiaries Incentive Stock Option Plan of 2000, The Bar Harbor Bankshares and Subsidiaries Equity Plan of 2009, The Bar Harbor Bankshares and
Subsidiaries Equity Plan of 2015, or any other equity plan shall become 100% vested immediately prior to such Change in Control. These grants will remain subject to all of the other terms and conditions in the Bar Harbor Bankshares and Subsidiaries
Incentive Stock Option Plan of 2000, The Bar Harbor Bankshares and Subsidiaries Equity Plan of 2009, The Bar Harbor Bankshares and Subsidiaries Equity Plan of 2015, or any other equity plan. 

Payment of the severance benefits described in this Section 2 are subject to and expressly conditioned upon the Executive’s
execution and delivery to the Employer of a separation agreement and general release in favor of the Employer in form and substance satisfactory to the Employer (the “Release”), within thirty (30) days after the
Executive’s Date of Termination, which (after the expiration of any and all revocation periods and rights, if any) has, and not until it has, become fully effective and irrevocable, satisfactory to the Employer in the reasonable exercise of its
discretion, releasing the Company, the Bank, Trust Services, their respective subsidiaries, affiliates, and directors, officers, employees, agents and insurers, and certain others, from any and all claims or potential claims arising from or related
to the Executive’s employment with the Employer or the termination of that employment. In no event shall any severance benefits be due or payable unless and until such Release becomes effective and all statutory rights to rescind, revoke or
terminate the same have expired unexercised. Payment of the severance benefits are also subject to and expressly conditioned upon the Executive’s compliance with his or her obligations under Sections 7 of this Agreement. Anything in this
Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event the Executive is determined by a court or arbitrator to have breached any of the provisions of Sections 7 of this Agreement, then the Employer shall have no further obligation to pay the
severance benefits, and the Employer shall be entitled to obtain reimbursement from the Executive, and the Executive shall be obligated to reimburse the Employer, for any severance benefits previously paid to the Executive, in addition to any and
all other rights or remedies available to the Employer under this Agreement or applicable law. 

 The Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any severance benefits described in
this Section 2 by seeking other employment. 
  

	3.	NOTICE OF TERMINATION. 

 Any separation of the Executive’s service by the
Employer due to Disability or for Cause, or by the Executive due to Good Reason, shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other party. A Notice of Termination must indicate the specific provisions in this Agreement which
are relied upon as the basis for the separation of the Executive’s service, and must also set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide the basis for such separation from service under the provisions so
indicated. 
 Notwithstanding the above, in order for the Executive to separate from service with the Employer for Good Reason, the
Executive must provide the Notice of Termination to the Employer no later than ninety (90) days after the date of the initial occurrence of the condition or conditions alleged to give rise to Good Reason. In addition, the Executive must
provide the Employer a period of at least thirty (30) days during which the Employer can remedy the condition or conditions alleged to give rise to Good Reason and not be required to pay the amounts described in Section 2.

 

	4.	LOSS OF SEVERANCE BENEFITS. 

 If the Employer shall terminate the Executive’s
service due to Disability or for Cause, or if the Executive shall terminate his or her service other than for Good Reason, or if the Executive shall die, then the Executive shall have no right to receive any severance benefits under this Agreement.

  

	5.	NO OTHER BENEFITS PAYABLE. 

 (a) If the Executive is entitled to receive the
severance benefits described in Section 2 of this Agreement, he or she shall not be entitled to receive: (i) any severance benefits under the terms of any general severance pay policy or plan of the Employer or any successor company; or
(ii) any other compensation, benefits or payments under the terms of any other plan of, or agreement with, the Employer. 

(b) Notwithstanding the above, the Executive shall be entitled to receive any compensation, benefits or payments which are specifically
authorized by the terms of any plan of, or agreement with, the Employer to be paid in addition to the severance benefits described in Section 2 of this Agreement. Moreover, notwithstanding the above, the Executive shall be entitled to receive,
in addition to the severance benefits described in Section 2 of this Agreement, any compensation, benefits or payments which the Executive is entitled to receive under: (i) any incentive compensation plan maintained by

 
the Employer which provides for payment to a separated employee of incentive compensation earned by the employee prior to his or her separation from service; or (ii) any payroll plan or
policy of the Employer which provides for payment to a separated employee of any unpaid vacation, holiday or sick pay accrued by the employee prior to his or her separation from service. 

 

	6.	SUCCESSORS. 

 (a) The Employer will require any successor (whether direct or
indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Employer to expressly assume and agree to perform its obligations under this Agreement in the same manner and to the same
extent that the Employer would be required to perform them if no such succession had taken place. Each such successor shall execute a written agreement evidencing its assumption of the Employer’s obligations under this Agreement prior to the
effective date of any such purchase, merger, consolidation or other transaction. 
 (b) The failure of the Employer to obtain from each
successor the written agreement described in Section 6(a) shall be deemed to be a material breach of the obligations of the Employer under this Agreement, and shall entitle the Executive to incur a separation from service for Good Reason
pursuant to Section 1.11(f). 
 (c) As used in this Section 6, the Employer shall include the Company, the Bank, Trust Services
and any successor to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of any of them (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) which executes and delivers the written agreement described in Section 6(a)
or which otherwise becomes bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

	8.	REFORMATION; INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. 

 (a) All the parties hereto acknowledge that the
parties have carefully considered the nature and scope of this Agreement. The activities, period and area covered by Section 7 are expressly acknowledged and agreed to be fair, reasonable and necessary. To the extent that any covenant contained
in Section 7 is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable because of the extent of activities, duration of such covenant, the geographic area covered thereby, or otherwise, the parties agree that the court making such determination shall
reform such covenant to include as much of its nature and scope as will render it enforceable and, in its reduced form, said covenant shall be valid, legal and enforceable to the fullest extent of the law. 

The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement, after reformation as provided in this Section 8, shall not affect
any other provision hereof, and this Agreement shall be construed in all respects as if such invalid or unenforceable provision was omitted. Furthermore, in lieu of such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision, there shall be added
automatically as a part of this Agreement a provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be legal, valid, and enforceable. 

(b) The Executive acknowledges and agrees that, upon any breach by the Executive of his or her obligations under Section 7 hereof, the
Employer will have no adequate remedy at law, and accordingly will be entitled to specific performance and other appropriate injunctive and equitable relief, notwithstanding Section 9 hereof. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting the
Employer from pursuing any other remedies available to it, including the recovery of damages from the Executive. 
  

	9.	MEDIATION AND ARBITRATION. 

 If the Executive and the Employer have any dispute
whatsoever relating to the interpretation, validity or performance of this Agreement, or any other dispute arising out 

 
of this Agreement, every reasonable attempt will be made to resolve any differences or dispute within thirty (30) days of an issuance of written notice by either party to the other party.

 If a successful resolution of any differences or dispute has not been achieved to the satisfaction of both parties at the end of the
thirty (30) day period, the following steps will be used: 
 Except as otherwise expressly provided hereunder, the parties agree that
any and all disputes arising out of the Executive’s employment or cessation of employment, including but not limited to any dispute, controversy, or claim arising under any federal, state, or local statute, law, ordinance or regulation or under
this Agreement, shall be resolved exclusively by Alternative Dispute Resolution described in this Agreement (“ADR”). The initiation of ADR shall first require mediation, and the parties agree to first try to settle any dispute through
mediation. Mediation shall be initiated by either party by the serving of a written notice of intent to mediate (a “Mediation Notice”) by one party upon the other. If no resolution has been mutually agreed through mediation within ninety
(90) days of service of a Mediation Notice, then and only then may the dispute be submitted to arbitration. Arbitration shall be initiated by the serving of a written notice of intent to arbitrate (an “Arbitration Notice”) by one
party upon the other. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to preclude the Employer from seeking temporary or permanent injunctive relief and/or damages from a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to
Section 8 of this Agreement with respect to any breach of Section 7 of this Agreement. 
 (a) In the event that a party wishes to
initiate ADR, a Mediation Notice must be served on the other party within six months from the date on which the claim arose. If the parties cannot mutually agree on a mediator, then a mediator shall be selected in accordance with the Employment
Mediation Rules of the American Arbitration Association. 
 (b) In the event that mediation is unsuccessful and arbitration is
initiated, it shall be conducted under the National Rules of the Resolution of Employment Disputes of the American Arbitration Association, as modified by this Agreement. There shall be a single arbitrator to be agreed upon by the parties,
provided that, if the parties are unable to agree upon a single arbitrator, each party shall name an arbitrator and the two so named shall name a third arbitrator. The arbitration proceedings shall be heard by the arbitrator(s) and the
decision of the arbitrator, or the majority of the panel if one has been selected, shall be final and binding on the parties. The arbitration award shall be accompanied by a written statement containing a summary of the issues in controversy, a
description of the award, and an explanation of the reasons for the award. Judgment upon the arbitration award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. An Arbitration Notice must be served on the other party within one year from the
date on which the claim arose, and failure to bring such a claim within such one-year period shall constitute a waiver of such claim and an absolute bar to any further proceedings in any forum with respect to it. All mediation and arbitration
proceedings shall be conducted in Bangor, Maine, unless the parties otherwise agree in writing. All mediation and arbitration proceedings shall be confidential. 

 (c) The cost of any mediation proceeding under this Section 9 shall be paid entirely
by the Employer. The cost of any arbitration proceeding will be shared equally by the parties to the dispute; provided, however, that, if the dispute is resolved in favor of the Executive, such cost shall be paid in full by the
Employer. Each party shall be responsible for its own cost of representation and counsel. 
  

	10.	POST-TERMINATION OBLIGATIONS. 

 All payments and benefits due to the Executive
under this Agreement shall be subject to the Executive’s compliance with this Section 10 for one full year following the Executive’s Date of Termination. The Executive shall, upon reasonable notice, furnish such information and
assistance to the Employer, the Company, the Bank or Trust Services as may reasonably be required by the Employer, the Company, the Bank or Trust Services in connection with any litigation in which it or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates is, or
may become, a party. 
  

	11.	GENERAL PROVISIONS. 

 (a) All notices required by this Agreement shall be in
writing and shall be sufficiently given if delivered personally or mailed by registered mail or certified mail, return receipt requested, to the parties at their then current addresses. All notices shall be deemed to have been given as of the date
so delivered or mailed. 
 (b) This Agreement and the plans and agreements described in Section 5(b) contain the entire transaction
between the parties, and there are no other representations, warranties, conditions or agreements relating to the subject matter thereof. This Agreement hereby supersedes any prior Change in Control Agreement between the Executive and the Company.

 (c) The waiver by any party of any breach or default of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of
any subsequent breach. 
 (d) This Agreement may not be changed orally but only by an agreement in writing executed on behalf of the party
against which enforcement of any waiver, change, modification, consent or discharge is sought. 
 (e) This Agreement shall be binding upon
and inure to the benefit of the Employer and the Executive and their respective successors, assigns, heirs and legal representatives (including, but not limited to, any successor of the Employer described in Section 6). 

 (f) Each of the parties agrees to execute all further instruments and documents and to take all
further action as the other party may reasonably request in order to effectuate the terms and purposes of this Agreement. 
 (g) This
Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 
 (h) This
Agreement shall be construed pursuant to and in accordance with the laws of the State of Maine. Actions brought by the Employer under this Agreement shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts of Maine. Both
parties consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts for such actions, and agree that they may be served with process in accordance with Section 11(a). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any payments to the Executive,
