 Exhibit #10.1 
  
 2005 Transitional Amendment 
 Camden National Corporation

 Director Deferred Compensation Plan 
  
 This Amendment, executed the 27th day of September, 2005, by Camden National Corporation, a Maine corporation with its headquarters in Camden, Maine (the
“Company”) and the Plan Sponsor of the Camden National Corporation Director Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”). 
  
 W I T N E S S E T H: 
  
 WHEREAS, the Company established the Plan with an initial plan year of January 1, 1993 for the benefit of its Directors; and 
  
 WHEREAS, the Plan has been documented by annual plan agreements which were always
intended to constitute one unified non-qualified deferred compensation plan; and 
  
 WHEREAS, the Plan must be amended to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) in order to conform to the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004; and 
  
 WHEREAS, the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) has issued interim guidance
in the form of IRS Notice 2005-1 (“Notice 2005-1”) to provide plan sponsors with rules for good faith compliance with Code Section 409A pending the issuance of final regulations; and 
  
 WHEREAS, Q and A #20 of Notice 2005-1 allows plan sponsors to amend their non-qualified
deferred compensation plans to allow participants to terminate participation in the plan and receive taxable distributions on or before December 31, 2005. 
  

NOW, THEREFORE, in good faith compliance with IRS Notice 2005-1, and particularly Q and A #20 thereof, the Company hereby amends the Plan as follows effective
October 1, 2005: 
  
 1. Termination Election. Notwithstanding any prior
distribution elections made by any Eligible Director of the Company under the Plan, any Eligible Director with a deferred compensation balance under the Plan on October 1, 2005 shall be given a one-time irrevocable election to completely
terminate his or her participation in the Plan by delivery of an irrevocable termination election to the Company on or before November 30, 2005. Any Eligible Director who fails to deliver a termination election as provided above shall continue
to participate in the Plan in accordance with his or her prior elections. Once a termination election has been received by the Company, it cannot be revoked or rescinded. The Company shall then value the undistributed interest in the Plan of such
electing Eligible Director, and shall arrange for a taxable cash distribution to such Eligible Director as soon as reasonably feasible, but under no circumstances later than December 31, 2005. 
  
 2. Effect of Termination Election. The termination elections described above shall
result in a complete and 100% distribution of the deferred compensation owed to each electing Eligible Director under the Plan. Directors who continue to serve on the Board of Directors of the Company may not rejoin the Plan at a later time, absent
clear and unambiguous authority to the contrary subsequently issued by the IRS relative to Code Section 409A. With regard to Eligible Directors who participate in the “phantom stock” portion of the Plan, such “phantom stock”
balances shall be valued as of close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange on November 1, 2005 (for termination elections received on or before October 31, 2005) and on December 1, 2005 (for termination elections received on or
before November 30, 2005). 
  
 3. One Unified Plan. Notwithstanding the
fact that separate agreements were signed each year to document the Plan, it has been the consistent intent of the Company that the Plan is one unified non-qualified deferred compensation plan for the benefit of Eligible Directors, and the Plan
shall continue to be administered as one unified Plan. The foregoing notwithstanding, if, for any reason, the Plan is treated as being separate annual plans, this Amendment is intended in good faith to apply to all such separate plans and to allow a
termination election to all such separate plans simultaneously. 

 4. Effect on Plan. Pending the issuance of final guidance under Code Section 409A and the written compliance
therewith, the other provisions of the Plan shall remain in full force and effect. 
  
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Amendment to be executed by its duly authorized officer as of the date first written above.

 President & CEOTRANSITIONAL AMEND NO. 2 TO DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

 Exhibit #10.2 
  
 2005 Transitional Amendment Number Two 
 Camden National
Corporation 
 Director Deferred Compensation Plan 
  
 This Amendment, executed the 25th day of October, 2005, by Camden National Corporation, a Maine corporation with its headquarters in Camden, Maine (the
“Company”) and the Plan Sponsor of the Camden National Corporation Director Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”). 
  
 W I T N E S S E T H: 
  
 WHEREAS, the Company established the Plan with an initial plan year of January 1, 1993 for the benefit of its Directors; and 
  
 WHEREAS, the Plan must be amended to comply with Section 409A of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), in order to conform to the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004; and 
  
 WHEREAS, the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) has issued interim guidance in the form of IRS Notice 2005-1 (“Notice 2005-1”) and Proposed
Regulations under Section 409A on September 29, 2005 (the “Proposed Regulations”) to provide plan sponsors with rules for good faith compliance with Code Section 409A pending the issuance of final regulations; and

  
 WHEREAS, Q and A #19(c) of Notice 2005-1 allows plan sponsors to amend
their non-qualified deferred compensation plans to allow participants to make new payment elections with respect to amounts deferred prior to the election without such election being treated as a change in the form and timing of payment or an
acceleration of payment under Code Section 409A(a)(3); and 
  
 WHEREAS,
the Proposed Regulations extended the final date by which such plan amendment and new elections could be made to December 31, 2006, but with the proviso that no new election can be made after December 31, 2005 with respect to any payment
which is due in 2006 or which would cause a payment to be made in 2006. 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, in good faith compliance with the Proposed Regulations and Notice 2005-1, and particularly Q and A #19(c) thereof, the Company hereby amends the Plan as follows effective October 25, 2005: 
  
 1. New Payment Election. Notwithstanding any prior distribution elections made by any
Eligible Director of the Company under the Plan, any Eligible Director with a deferred compensation balance under the Plan on October 25, 2005 shall be given a one-time election to change his or her payment election by delivery of a new payment
election to the Company on or before December 31, 2006; provided, however, that no new payment election can be made after December 31, 2005 which would change any payment due in 2006 or cause payments to be made in 2006. Such election may
change the specified starting date and/or the distribution payment period as the Eligible Director shall so elect, and shall apply to all amounts deferred by such Eligible Director under the Plan. Any Eligible Director who fails to deliver a new
payment election as provided above shall continue to participate in the Plan in accordance with his or her prior distribution elections, which shall be administered in accordance with the final regulations issued under Code Section 409A.

  
 2. Transitional Amendment Number Two. This Amendment is the second
(2nd) transitional amendment to the Plan under Notice 2005-1 and the Proposed Regulations. In accordance with Q and A #19(c) of
Notice 2005-1, as amplified by the Proposed Regulations, any new payment election under Section 1 above should not be treated as a change in the form and timing of a payment under Code Section 409A(a)(4) or an acceleration of a payment
under Code Section 409A(a)(3). 
  
 3. Effect on Plan. Pending the
issuance of final guidance under Code Section 409A and the written compliance therewith, the other provisions of the Plan shall remain in full force and effect. 

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Amendment to be executed by its duly authorized officer as of the
date first written above.
