ITEM 1.01. ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT. Pursuant to a Letter
Agreement dated January 9, 2009 and a Securities Purchase Agreement - Standard Terms attached thereto (collectively, the "Purchase Agreement"), The First Bancorp, Inc., a Maine corporation (the "Company"), issued to the United States Department of the Treasury (the "Treasury Department") (i) 25,000 shares of the Company's Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, having a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share (the "Series A Preferred Stock") and
(ii) a warrant (the "Warrant") to purchase initially 225,904 shares of the Company's common stock ("Common Stock"). The aggregate purchase price for the Series A Preferred Stock and the Warrant was $25,000,000 and both will be accounted for as components of Tier 1 capital. The terms, rights, obligations, and preferences of the Series A Preferred Stock are set forth in a Certificate of Designations Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A (the "Certificate of Designations"), which the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Maine on January 7, 2009. Cumulative dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock will accrue on the liquidation preference at a rate of 5% per annum for the first five years and at a rate of 9% per annum thereafter, but will be paid only if, as and when declared by the Company's board of directors. In the event that dividends payable on the Series A Preferred Stock have not been paid for the equivalent of six or more quarters, whether or not consecutive, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will have the right to elect two members to the Company's board of directors until such arrearage has been paid. The Series A Preferred Stock ranks senior to the Common Stock with respect to the payment of dividends and distributions and amounts payable upon liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company. The Series A Preferred Stock may not be redeemed by the Company prior to January 9, 2012, except with the proceeds from the sale and issuance for cash of perpetual preferred stock, Common Stock or any combination of such securities that, in each case, qualify as and may be included as Tier 1 capital of the Company pursuant to applicable risk-based capital guidelines (each such issuance, a "Qualified Equity Offering"). On or after February 15, 2012, the Company may, at its option, redeem, in whole or in part from time to time, the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding. Any redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock will be at a redemption price equal to (i) the liquidation preference per share plus (ii) any accrued and unpaid dividends. Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock do not have any right to require the redemption or repurchase of any shares of the Series A Preferred Stock. Any redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock will also be subject to the approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. The Warrant is initially exercisable for up to 225,904 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $16.60 per share. The ultimate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the Warrant and the exercise price of the Warrant are subject to certain adjustment provisions, such as upon stock splits or distributions of securities or other assets to holders of Common Stock, and upon certain issuances of Common Stock at or below a specified price relative to the then current market price of the Common Stock. The Warrant expires ten years from the issuance date. The Warrant is exercisable at any time, in whole or in part, except that the Treasury Department may not exercise the Warrant for, or transfer the Warrant with respect to, more than one-half of the original number of shares underlying the Warrant prior to the earlier of (i) the date on which the Company receives aggregate gross proceeds of not less than $25,000,000 from one or more Qualified Equity Offerings and (ii) December 31, 2009. If, on or prior to December 31, 2009, the Company receives aggregate gross proceeds of not less than $25,000,000 from one or more Qualified Equity Offerings, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Treasury Department's exercise of the Warrant will be reduced by one-half of the original number of shares, taking into account all adjustments, underlying the Warrant. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Treasury Department has agreed not to exercise voting power with respect to any shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Warrant. Prior to January 9, 2012, unless the Company has redeemed the Series A Preferred Stock or the Treasury Department has transferred the Series A Preferred Stock to a third party, the consent of the Treasury Department will be required for the Company to (1) declare or pay any dividend or make any distribution on the Common Stock (other than regular quarterly cash dividends of not more than $0.195 per share of Common Stock) or (2) redeem, purchase or acquire any shares of Common Stock or other equity or capital securities, other than in connection with benefit plans consistent with past practice and certain other circumstances specified in the Purchase Agreement. In addition, under the Certificate of Designations, the Company's ability to declare or pay dividends or repurchase Common Stock or other equity or capital securities will be subject to restrictions in the event that it fails to declare and pay (or set aside for payment) full dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock and the Warrant were issued in a private placement exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Company has agreed to register the Series A

Preferred Stock, the Warrant and the shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrant with the Securities and Exchange Commission as soon as practicable after the date of the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock and the Warrant for possible resale. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed that, until such time as the Treasury Department ceases to own any securities of the Company acquired under the Purchase Agreement, the Company will take all necessary action to ensure that its benefit plans with respect to its senior executive officers comply with Section 111(b) of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 ("EESA") and will not adopt any benefit plans with respect to, or which cover, its senior executive officers that do not comply with EESA. In connection with the requirements under EESA, the following individuals were determined by the Company to be the senior executive officers covered by EESA: Daniel R. Daigneault, F. Stephen Ward, Tony C. McKim, Charles
A. Wootton, and Susan A. Norton (the "SEOs"). Each of the SEOs entered into a Waiver in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2, pursuant to which they waived any claims they may otherwise have against the Company or the Treasury Department relating thereto.
