Assumption Agreement dated as of October 14, 1997, Lessor has agreed to sublease
the Leased Premises to Lessee.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration,  of the Leased Premises and for other
good and valuable consideration,  the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged, the partiess hereto agree as follows:

         1. Leased Premises.  The Lessor hereby leases unto the Lessee,  and the
Lessee hereby hires and takes from the Lessor, the following  described premises
located in the Coastal Plaza in  Damariscotta,  Maine:  a building  containing a

the southwesterly  corner of Coastal Plaza all as more particularly shown as the
shaded  area on the plan  attached  to the Master  Lease and marked  "Exhibit A"
(hereafter "Leased Premises").


         2. The  Shopping  Center.  The words "the  Coastal  Plaza" or "Shopping
Center" and all references  thereto shall be deemed to mean the area situated on
the northerly  side of Route US 1 (Business) in  Damariscotta,  Maine,  as shown
outlined  by a dark black  line on the plan  attached  to the  Master  Lease and
marked "Exhibit A" which includes the Leased Premises.


         3. Term.  TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the Leased  Premises  unto the Lessee and
its  successors  and  assigns  for a term  commencing  on March  16,  1998  (the
"Commencement  Date") and ending May 3, 2010 (the "Lease Term"),  subject to the
terms and conditions hereinafter in this Lease contained.


         The Lessor and the Lessee agree that promptly after the commencement of
the term hereof,  they will enter into a Memorandum of Lease in accordance  with
title 33,  M.R.S.A.  Section 201,  which shall be  acknowledged  and in form for
recording, setting forth the facts required by that Statute.

         4. Rent.  YIELDING AND PAYING rent  therefor at such place or places as
the Lessor may by notice in writing to the Lessee from time to time  direct,  as
follows:

                  (a) Commencing on the Commencement Date and ending May 4, 2000
         (the  "Initial  Term"),  annual rent of  Forty-one  thousand and 00/100
         Dollars ($41,000.00)  ("Initial Term Rent") payable monthly in advance,
         in equal  installments  beginning on April 1, 1998 and on the first day
         of each calendar month thereafter; provided, however, that Lessee shall
         pay  prorated  rent on a per diem  basis for any  fractional  part of a
         month at the  commencement or termination of this lease or in any month
         in which an Adjustment Period (defined below) begins or ends.

                  (b) Upon each of May 5,  2000 and May 5, 2005 and any  renewal
         term of this Lease  (each  being and  "Adjustment  Period")  the Lessor
         shall be entitled to have the annual  rental  payments  for the ensuing
         years of each  adjustment  period  reflect any  increase in the cost of
         living which occurred during the period (whether initial or adjustment)
         then ending.  The Lessor shall  compute any such increase by using as a
         basis for the computation  the "Consumer  Price Index-All  Cities (1967
         equal to 100)",  hereinafter  referred to as the "Index",  published by
         the Bureau of Labor  Statistics  of the  United  States  Department  of
         Labor. More specifically, the computation shall be made as follows:

                      (i)  The Index Number in the column for Boston, 
                           entitled "All Items" for the month in which the 
                           first payment of rent for the Initial Term of this
                           Lease shall be the Base Index Number (BIN) and the 
                           corresponding Index Number for the month prior to 
                           the last month of the period (whether initial or
                           adjustment) then ending shall be the Current Index
                           Number (CIN).

                      (ii) The increase in the cost of living,  if any, shall be
                           determined  by dividing  the Current  Index Number by
                           the Base Index Number,  as determined by Subparagraph
                           (i) above,  and  subtracting the integer one from the
                           quotient,  in accordance with the following  formula:
                           Increase  in cost of living = CIN over BIN minus one.
                           The adjustment to the annual rental payments shall be
                           determined by multiplying the percentage  increase in
                           the cost of living as determined above by the Initial
                           Term  Rent.  The  adjustment  figure  for  the  first
                           Adjustment  Period  shall be added  to  Initial  Term
                           Rent. The adjustment  figure for the first Adjustment
                           Period shall be added to Initial  Term Rent  yielding
                           the new annual rent.  The new annual rent so computed
                           shall be  payable  to Lessee  to  Lessor  in  monthly
                           installments  in  advance  on the  first  day of each
                           month of the first adjustment period of this Lease.

                     (iii) The  adjustment for the second  Adjustment  Period of
                           this  Lease  shall  be  computed  as   indicated   in
                           Subparagraphs  (i) and (ii) above except that the CIN
                           shall  be  changed  to the last  month  of the  first
                           Adjustment  Period.  The  adjustment  to  the  rental
                           payments  shall  be  determined  by  multiplying  the
                           percentage increase, if any, in the cost of living as
                           so  determined by an amount equal to the Initial Term
                           Rent,  and the  rental  as so added  to and  adjusted
                           shall  be  payable  in  the  manner  as  provided  in
                           Subparagraph (ii) above.

                      (iv) If the  publication  of the  Consumer  Price Index is
                           discontinued,   the  parties   hereto   shall  accept
                           comparable  statistics  on the cost of living for the
                           City of Boston as computed and published by an agency
                           of the  United  States,  if any,  or  otherwise  by a
                           responsible   financial   periodical   of  recognized
                           authority to be selected by the parties.
                 (c) On the last  rent  day,  Lessee  shall pay rent at the last
computed monthly rent for the portion of the last calendar month included in the
term hereof.

         5.  AS-IS/WHERE-IS.  Tenant acknowledges that Tenant hereby accepts the
Leased  Premises in its present  condition,  AS-IS,  without any  warranties  or
representations.  Tenant acknowledges and agrees that neither Landlord,  nor any
officer,  employee, or agent of Landlord has made any representation,  verbal or
otherwise,  concerning the condition of the Leased  Premises on which Tenant has
relied in the decision to execute the Lease.


         6. Parking Areas and Other Common Facilities. The Lessee shall have the
right,  as an  appurtenance  to the Leased  Premises,  to use the parking areas,
roadways,  walkways and other common  facilities  within the Shopping  Center in
common with others  entitled to the use thereof and otherwise in accordance with
and subject to the provisions of this Lease and such reasonable regulations with
respect to their use as the Master Lessor shall from time to time establish. The
Master Lessor may also from time to time make  reasonable  changes in any common
facility in the Shopping  Center.  Automobiles  and other  vehicles  used by the
Lessee and its  employees  shall be parked  only in areas  located in the Leased
Premises and not in the remainder of the Shopping Center. The Lessee also agrees
not to cause any obstruction or other interference with any roadway,  walkway or
other common  facility  appurtenant  to the Leased  Premises which any person or
persons other than the Lessee or those claiming under it may be entitled to use.
The Lessee also agrees to use its best  efforts to prohibit  truck and  delivery
vehicles  in the  parking  areas  within the  Shopping  Center;  all loading and
unloading of merchandise,  supplies,  fixtures, equipment and furniture shall be
done at and through the proper service entrance or entrances.

         7.  Construction and Maintenance of Parking Areas and Additional Rent .
The Lessor  further  agrees to use  reasonable  efforts to cause Master  Lessor,
during the term  hereof,  to pay the real  estate  taxes and other  assessments,
provide  comprehensive public liability and fire and extended coverage insurance
and operate, manage and maintain all parking areas, roadways, walkways and other
common facilities  within the Shopping Center,  and to maintain the landscaping,
drainage and lighting facilities  therefor,  all in such manner and at such cost
as the Master  Lessor in its  reasonable  judgement  shall  determine,  it being
expressly  understood  and agreed that neither Master Lessor nor Lessor shall be
liable for any inconvenience, discomfort, deprivations, interruption of business
or  other  consequence   resulting  from  or  due  to  the  making  of  repairs,
replacements,  improvements, alterations, or additions or the doing of any other
work by or at the direction of the Master Lessor,  to or upon any of such common
facilities,  strikes  or  other  labor  difficulties,  difficulty  in  obtaining
electricity  or any other  service or supplies  from the Master  Lessor's  usual
source of supply,  inability to obtain labor or  materials,  or any cause beyond
the Master Lessor's or Lessor's reasonable control. The Lessee agrees to pay the
Lessor upon being  billed  therefor,  but no more often than once each  calendar
month, as ADDITIONAL RENT (which  additional rent may be estimated by the Master
Lessor,  subject to adjustment in future  billings to the Lessor),  the Lessee's
share of such cost described in the immediately  preceding  sentence during each
year  of the  term of this  Lease,  including  without  limiting  the  foregoing
generality, the cost of such insurance, taxes and assessments,  the cost of snow
removal,  policing,  lighting,  cleaning,  and line  painting and of  repairing,
renovating, replacing and improving any of such common facilities,  landscaping,
drainage  or lighting  facilities,  and also the  Lessee's  share of the cost of
lighting and maintaining such signs and advertising devices as the Master Lessor
may erect calling  attention to the Shopping  Center,  excepting such signs that
are not within the  Shopping  center or adjacent  thereto.  Notwithstanding  the
foregoing,  with  respect to real  estate  taxes and  assessments  by any agency
authorized to make  assessments  relating to the building  located on the Leased
Premises,  the Lessee  shall  bear the  entire  cost of same as a portion of the
Additional  Rent and the next  succeeding  sentence shall not apply to same. The
Lessee's share of costs,  excluding such real estate taxes and such assessments,
shall be one and one-half times the proportion  that the total floor area of the
building to be constructed on the Leased  Premises bears to the total floor area
in all leased or occupied buildings or portions of buildings within the Shopping
Center,  including the building to be constructed as of the date of the billing.
If the Master Lessor may, in its sole judgement,  charge for all or a portion of
such special costs on such reasonable basis as the Mater Lessor shall determine.
Lessee shall pay Lessor for any such special  costs not paid  directly to Master
Lessor by Lessee.

         In the event  that at any time  subsequent  to the date when the Master
Lessor  named  herein  shall cease to be the Master  Lessor,  the Master  Lessor
should fail to seek an abatement of the real estate taxes  affecting  the Leased
Premises  for  thirty  (30) days after  request  by the Lessee at any time,  the
Lessee  may do so in the name of the  Master  Lessor  but at the  sole  cost and
expense of the Lessee,  and all reasonable  legal fees and expenses  incurred by
the Lessee  therein  shall be  recouped  out of the first  proceeds  of any such
abatement procured,  and such real estate taxes shall be adjusted as a result of
such abatement procured. In no event shall Lessor be obligated to expend any sum
of money or incur any  obligations  in connection  with such  abatement.  In the
event of such contest, the Lessee shall,  however,  furnish reasonable security,
if  required  by the  Master  Lessor,  to insure  the  payment of such taxes and
prevent any sale,  foreclosure  or forfeiture of all or any part of the Shopping
Center by reason of such contest.  The Lessee  further  agrees that such contest
shall  be  prosecuted  to a final  conclusion  diligently,  that it will pay and
exonerate  and  indemnify  the  Lessor  against  any  and  all  claims,   suits,
obligations,  liabilities and damages in connection therewith, and that it will,
promptly after the final determination of such contest,  fully pay and discharge
to the Master  Lessor its share,  as  determined by this Sublease of all amounts
determined  to  be  payable  therein,  together  with  all  penalties,  defines,
interest,  costs and  expenses  resulting  from such  contest.  The right of the
Lessee so to seek an  abatement  pursuant to the  provisions  of this  Paragraph
shall not apply  during any period when an  institutional  mortgagee,  either in
possession of the Leased Premises or Shopping Center or both,  shall have become
the Lessor  hereunder or the Master  Lessor  under the Master Lease  pursuant to
foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure.


         8. Real Estate  Taxes,  Etc. The Lessee  agrees to reimburse  Lessor or
Master  Lessor  for all real  estate  taxes and  assessments  of every  kind and
description  which may be levied or  assessed  against  the  building  and other
improvements construction on the Leased Premises.


         9.  Utilities.  The Lessee shall pay for all  electricity,  gas, water,
heat, sewer and other utility  services used on the Leased Premises,  and at its
own  expense  shall  heat the water to meet its hot water  requirements.  If the
Master Lessor shall elect at any time to supply any one or more of said services
to the Leased  Premises,  then the Lessee,  upon not less than  forty-five  (45)
days' written notice from the Lessor, shall accept and use such of said services
as are  tendered by the Master  Lessor and pay therefor at the rates which would
be charged if the same were  purchased  by the Lessee from the  municipality  or
other service corporation which would otherwise supply such service or services.
The charges for such of said  services are to be furnished by the Master  Lessor
shall be ADDITIONAL  RENT due on the first day of the calendar  month  following
the billing  thereof to the Lessee,  and the Lessor shall have the same remedies
for  non-payment  of said  ADDITIONAL  RENT as the  Lessor  shall  have  for the
non-payment of other rent; and in addition to said  remedies,  the Lessor,  upon
not less than three (3) days' notice to the Lessee,  may discontinue  furnishing
such of said services as are not paid for, and no such  discontinuance  shall be
deemed an eviction or render the Lessor or Master  Lessor  liable for damages or
relieve the Lessee from its  obligations  under this Lease. If the Master Lessor
should  elect as  aforesaid  to furnish  all or any of said  services,  then the
Lessor  shall not be liable to the  Lessee in damages  or  otherwise  should the
furnishing of any one or more thereof be  interrupted  or terminated  because of
accident,  the making of repairs,  replacements,  improvements,  alterations  or
additions,  strikes or other labor  difficulties,  difficulty in obtaining fuel,
electricity  or any other  supplies or service  from the Master  Lessor's  usual
source of supply, or any cause beyond the Master Lessor's or Lessor's reasonable
control.  Upon not less than  forty-five (45) days' written notice to the Lessee
from the Master Lessor or Lessor,  the Master Lessor may cease to furnish all or
any of said services without any  responsibility to the Lessee except to connect
the  service  facilities  with  such  other  nearby  source  of supply as may be
available for the service or services so discontinued.

         10. Lessee's Liability Insurance. The Lessee shall procure and maintain
during  the Lease  Term,  at its own  expense,  comprehensive  public  liability
insurance,  which  may be  under a  blanket  policy,  in  responsible  insurance
compoies  qualified  to do  business  in  Maine  and in good  standing  therein,
insuring  the Lessor as well as the Lessee  against  all claims for  injuries to
person or for death occurring in or about the Leased Premises,  in the amount of
at least Three Million and 00/100 ($3,000,000.00) Dollars in the event of injury
to or death and against all claims for damages to or loss of property  occurring
in or about the Leased Premises in the amount of at lease Five Hundred  Thousand
and 00/100  ($500,000.00)  Dollars.  This insurance  shall be in addition to any
similar  insurance  the Master  Lessor or Lessor may  provide.  The Lessee shall
promptly  furnish to the Lessor,  upon obtaining such  insurance,  the policy of
insurance or a certificate  thereof,  and at least twenty (20) days,  before the
expiration of any such policy or  certificate  shall furnish to the Lessor a new

that such insurance shall not be cancelled except after ten (10) days' notice in
writing to the Lessor.  The Lessee  shall also  maintain and keep in force plate

equipment,  a policy  or  policies  of fire  insurnace  with  standard  extended
coverage  in an  amount  not less  than  eighty  (80%)  percent  of their  sound
insurable value, the proceeds of which will, as long as this Lease is in effect,
be used for the repair or replacement of the fixtures and equipment so insured.

         11.  Increase in  Insurance  Rates.  The Lessee  shall not carry on any
activity in or about the Leased  Premises which will in any way tend to increase
the insurance rates on the Leased Premises or impair or invalidate any insurance
thereon. If, because of anything, done on the Lease Premises,  whether it be the
conduct of the business  permitted by this Lease or otherwise,  the premiums for
insurance on the Leased Premises  required by this Lease are increase over those
which would prevail if the Leased Premises were used for a supermarket  carrying
the  lowest  insurance  rates  according  to the  local  fire  insurance  rating
organization or other body exercising similar functions,  then the Lessee agrees
upon demand to pay the Lessor an amount  equal to such  increase  as  additional
rent.

         12. Use of Premises.  The Lessee agrees to use the Leased  Premises for
the conduct of a bank,  subject to restrictions  under other  provisions of this
Lease, and not to use them for any other purpose.

awning, aerial, flagpole or the like,  that is visible  from the outside of the
Leased  Premises,  or any exterior lighting or plumbing fixtures, or any 
exterior decorations or painting, or build any fences outside of the Leased 
Premises,  or make any changes in the front of the Leased Premises, without 
first obtaining in each case the written consent of the Master Lessor. The

sidewalks,  if any, adjacent thereto clean and free from rubbish and dirt at all
times,  and shall store all trash and  garbage  within the Leased  Premises  and
arrange for the regular  pick-up of such trash and garbage at Lessee's  expense.

         14. Property Attached to Floors,  Etc. Subject to the next following  
sentence, all alterations, additions, improvements and fixtures, other than 
trade fixtures, which may be made or installed by either the Master Lessor, 
Lessor or the Lessee in or upon the Leased Premises and which in any manner are
attached  to the floors,  walls or ceilings shall be the property of the 
Master Lessor and at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease shall 
remain upon and be surrendered with the Leased Premises as part thereof, 
without disturbance, molestation or injury; provided, that, if prior to such
expiration or termination or within thirty (30) days thereafter the Lessor 
and Master Lessor so directs by written notice to the Lessee, then the Lessee

damage occasioned by such removal. All trade fixtures and equipment installed 
by the Lessee may be removed by the Lessee any time during or prior to the

removing same in their entirety not later than the date upon which the term of 
his Lease, or any renewal term thereof, ends, repairing the building and all 
effects of such removal in order that the space formerly occupied by the vault

which  the  Lessee  claims  is one of which  the  Master  Lessor  or  Lessor  is
responsible,  and the Master  Lessor or Lessor  shall have failed to correct the

sidewalks or ways (public or private) adjacent thereto, including without hereby

                     (n) To conform to all reasonable rules which the 
Master Lessor may make from time to time in the management and use of the

        16. Damage or Destruction. If (i) the Leased Premises shall be damaged 
or destroyed by fire or any other peril against which insurance
is then customarily carried with respect to premises similar
in construction, general location, use and occupancy to the
Leased Premises, and (ii) unless this Lease be terminated as
hereinafter provided, then (x) the Lessee shall immediately
give notice of such damage or destruction to the Lessor and
Master Lessor and (y) the Lessor shall use reasonable efforts
to cause Master Lessor, at the Master Lessor's expense, to
repair or rebuild the same so as to restore the Leased
Premises as nearly as may be reasonable to their condition
immediately prior to such damage or destruction; provided,
always, that the Master Lessor's obligation so to repair or
rebuild shall in no event exceed the scope of the work
required to be done by the Master Lessor in the original
construction of the Leased Premises nor require it to expend
more than the net amount recovered by the Master Lessor under
the insurance policies in force at the time of such damage or
destruction provided that the Leased Premises were then
insured against loss or damage by fire and such other perils
as were then customarily covered with respect to premises
similar in construction, general location, use and occupancy
to the Leased Premises, to the extent of at least eighty (80%)
percent of the insurable value of the Leased Premises if
reasonably obtainable from responsible insurance companies
licensed to do business in Maine. If the Leased Premises shall
be damaged or destroyed by any cause to the extent of fifty
(50%) percent or more of its then insurable value, then the
Master Lessor may elect by written notice given to the Lessee
from either Master Lessor or Lessor either to terminate this
Lease or to repair or rebuild as above provided, in which
latter event the Master Lessor's obligation shall in no event
exceed the scope of the work required to be done by the Master
Lessor in the original construction of the Leased Premises. In
the event that the Leased Premises shall be damaged or
destroyed by any peril against which insurance of the type
described in Paragraph 33 is not carried on the Leased
Premises by the Master Lessor and the estimated cost of
repairing or rebuilding the Leased Premises by an independent
engineer retained by the Master Lessor shall be in excess of
Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and 00/100 ($250,000.00) Dollars,
then the Master Lessor may elect by written notice given to
the Lessee either to terminate this Lease or to repair or
rebuild as above provided. No such termination shall be
effective if the Lessee shall elect in writing, within ten
(10) days after such event, to so repair or rebuild the Leased
Premises and to waive any abatement of rent provided herein.
In no event shall the Master Lessor be required to so repair
or rebuild any such damage or destruction which arises after
the expiration of the nineteenth (19th) year of the term of
the Master Lease from a peril which is insured against under
policies of insurance of the type required to be carried by
the Lessor hereunder. During any period that the Lessee cannot
fully occupy the Leased Premises for its business purposes, a
just proportion of the rent shall be abated.

      17.  Eminent Domain. Except for any award payable with respect to the
Lessee's fixtures and equipment and loss of business or
relocation allowance, the Lessee acknowledges that the Master
Lessor reserves and excepts under the Master Lease all rights
to damages to the Leased Premises and the leasehold hereby
created now accrued or hereafter accruing by reason of any
exercise of the right of eminent domain or condemnation or by
reason of anything lawfully done in pursuance of any public or
other authority; and by way of confirmation the Lessee grants
to the Master Lessor all the Lessee's rights to such damages
and covenants to execute and deliver such further instruments
of assignment thereof as the Master Lessor or Lessor, on
behalf of the Master Lessor, may from time to time request.
If, as a result of any taking by eminent domain or
condemnation the total floor area (non-selling mezzanines
excepted, however) in the Leased Premises shall be reduced to
less than eighty (80%) percent of the total floor area (except
as aforesaid) in the Leased Premises at the commencement of
the term hereof, then, at the election of the Lessee,
exercisable by written notice given to the Lessor and Master
Lessor within fourteen (14) days after such event this Lease
may be terminated as of the date when the Lessee is required
to vacate the Leased Premises or portion thereof so taken
(notwithstanding that the entire interest of the Master Lessor
and the Lessor, if any may have been divested by such taking).
If, as a result of any such taking or condemnation, the total
floor area (except as aforesaid) of the Leased Premises shall
be reduced to less than sixty (60%) percent of the total floor
area (except as aforesaid) in the Leased Premises as at the
commencement of the term hereof, then, at the election of the
Master Lessor or Lessor, on behalf of the Master Lessor,
exercisable by written notice given to the Lessee within
forty-five (45) days after such event, this Lease may be
terminated as of the date when the Lessee is required to
vacate the Leased Premises or portion thereof so taken
(notwithstanding that the entire interest of the Master Lessor
and Lessor, if any, may have been divested by such taking).
If, as a result of any such taking or condemnation, the total
parking areas and other common facilities shall be reduced to
less than sixty (60%) percent of the total parking areas and
other common facilities in the Shopping Center at the
commencement of the term hereof, or if, as a result of any
such taking or condemnation, the portion of the parking area
outlined in red on Exhibit A of the Master Lease shall be
reduced to less than sixty (60%) percent of such portion at
the commencement of the term hereof, then, in either such
event, at the election of the Lessee, exercisable by written
notice given to the Lessor and Master Lessor within fourteen
(14) days after such event, this Lease may be terminated as of
the date when the Lessee is required to cease to use such
parking areas and other common facilities or portion thereof
so taken (notwithstanding that the entire interest of the
Master Lessor and Lessor, if any, may have been divested by
such taking). And if, as a result of any taking by eminent
domain, neither party may terminate this Lease as above
provided or this Lease is not so terminated, the Lessor shall
use reasonable efforts to cause Master Lessor, at the Master
Lessor's expense and proceeding with all reasonable dispatch,
to do such work (within the scope of the work required to be
done by the Master Lessor in the original construction of the
Leased Premises) as may be required to put what may remain of
the Leased Premises in proper condition for the conduct of the
Lessee's business, and the Lessee, at the Lessee's expense and
proceeding with all reasonable dispatch, shall make such
alterations, repairs and replacements of the trade fixtures,
equipment, signs or other property installed by or belonging
to the Lessee as may be necessary to put said remainder in
proper condition for the Lessee's business, and from and after
the date on which the Lessee is required to vacate the portion
of the Leased Premises so taken, the rent shall be abated in
the proportion that the floor area (except as aforesaid) of
the portion so taken bears to the floor area (except as
aforesaid) of the Leased Premises.

      18.  Default Provisions. This Lease is also made upon the condition 
that if the Lessee shall neglect or fail to perform or observe any of
the covenants herein contained on the Lessee's part to be
performed or observed, or if the estate hereby created shall
be taken on execution, attachment or by other process of law,
or if the Lessee shall make or offer to make, in or out of
bankruptcy, a composition of the Lessee's debts with the
Lessee's creditors or if Lessee shall fail to observe any
obligation of Lessor (other than the payment of rent under the
Master Lease) that Lessor holds to Master Lessor under the
terms and provisions of the Master Lease or if the Lessee
shall execute a trust mortgage or if the Lessee shall make an
assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or if the Lessee
shall commit any act which when done is an act of bankruptcy
laws (Federal, State or otherwise), then, and in any of the
said cases (notwithstanding any license of any former breach
of covenant or waiver of the benefit hereof or consent in a
former instance), the Lessor and the agents and servants of
the Lessor lawfully may, in addition to and not in derogation
of any remedies for preceding breach of covenant, immediately
or at any time thereafter and without demand or notice and
with or without process of law (forcibly if necessary) enter
into and upon the Leased Premises or any part thereof in the
name of the whole and repossess the same as of the Lessor's
former estate and expel the Lessee and those claiming through
or under the Lessee and remove the effects of both or either
(forcibly, if necessary) without being deemed guilty of any
manner of trespass and without prejudice to any remedies which
might otherwise be used for arrears of rent or preceding
breach of covenant, and upon entry as aforesaid, the Lessee's
estate shall end, the Lessee hereby waiving all statutory
rights; and the Lessee covenants with the Lessor that in case
of such termination, or of termination under statute by reason
of default on the part of the Lessee, the Lessee will pay to
the Lessor, in equal monthly installments in advance, sums
equal to the rent herein provided for, or if the Leased
Premises have been relet, sums equal to the excess of the rent
herein provided over the sums actually received by the Lessor,
such sums being payable all as liquidated damages for the
unexpired term hereof. And it is also agreed as a further
condition of this Lease that if any proceedings are instituted
in a court of competent jurisdiction for relief or composition
of the Lessee's debts under any bankruptcy law (including,
without limitation of the foregoing generality, adjudication
of the Lessee as a bankrupt), or for the dissolution or
liquidation of the Lessee, or for the appointment of a
receiver, trustee or other similar officer to take charge of a
substantial part of the Lessee's property or to wind up the
Lessee's affairs, then, unless said proceedings are dismissed,
and any receiver, trustee or other similar officer appointed
there discharged, within sixty (60) days after the institution
of such proceedings, the same shall be deemed to constitute a
breach of this Lease and thereupon, ipso facto and without
entry or other action by the Lessor, the Lessee's estate shall
cease and be terminated and the Lessor shall immediately
become entitled to recover of the Lessee, and the Lessee
agrees in such event to pay the Lessor as liquidated damages
for such breach, an amount equal to the amount of the rent
herein provided for the residue of the term hereof less the
fair rental value of the Leased Premises for the residue of
said term. For the purpose of the foregoing provisions of this
Paragraph, the expression "rent herein provided for" shall be
deemed to include all items of additional rent or other
charges or payments for which the Lessee is responsible under
any provision of this Lease.

     19.  Grace Period: Lessor's Right to Cure Defaults. Notwithstanding the
provisions of the foregoing Paragraph 18, the Lessor agrees
that it will not take any action to terminate this Lease for
default by the Lessee in the performance of any covenants
(other than a covenant to pay a sum of money) unless and until
the Lessor gives the Lessee written notice specifying the
alleged default, and the Lessee fails to cure such default
within (20) days thereafter. And it is agreed that if the
Lessee shall fail to perform or observe any of the Lessee's
covenants or agreements herein within the time above allowed,
or in the event of any such failure which (a) is or may be
injurious to the health and safety of persons in or about the
Leased Premises or (b) may create a further material
deterioration of any portion of the Leased Premises, then the
Lessor may, if it so elects, without prejudice to its other
remedies, immediately or at any time thereafter, and without
notice, enter upon the Leased Premises without termination of
this Lease and/or do any and all such acts as may be
necessary, proper or convenient to cure or correct such
default, and the Lessee agrees upon demand to pay to the
Lessor the damage and/or cost and expense, including
reasonable counsel fees, incurred by the Lessor in so doing,
together with interest thereon at the rate of ten (10%)
percent per annum to the date of payment.

     20.  Assignment, Subletting, Etc.. The Lessee agrees that neither it nor
anyone claiming under it will assign, mortgage or pledge this
Lease, license or grant concessions or underlet the whole of
any portion of the Leased Premises, or permit the occupation
thereof by any other person, without on each occasion first
obtaining the Lessor's and Master Lessor's consent in writing.
No permitted assignment or sublease by the Lessee, nor any
consent thereto, nor any indulgence or favor at any time
granted by the Lessor to anyone claiming under the Lessee, nor
any relief of any party claiming by, through or under the
Lessee by operation of law, nor the acceptance of rent from or
other dealing with anyone claiming under the Lessee, shall
relieve the Lessee of its obligations under this Lease, it
being agreed that the Lessee and all assignees hereof shall be
deemed to have waived all suretyship defenses.

     21.  Subordination of Lease. The Lessee agrees, from time to time as
requested in writing by the Lessor, to subordinate this Lease
to any mortgage of property including the Leased Premises
given to a bank, insurance company or other lending
institution, and to any renewal, modification, replacement or
extension of any such mortgage, provided that in the
instrument of subordination the mortgagee agrees for itself
and its successors and assigns that so long as the Lessee, and
its successors and assigns, shall perform and observe, within
any applicable period of grace, the terms, agreements,
covenants and conditions in this Lease contained on the part
of the Lessee to be performed and observed, neither the
mortgagee nor its successors or assigns will disturb the
peaceful and quiet possession of the Lessee and its successors
and assigns, but will permit the Lessee to exercise and enjoy
all the Lessee's rights, privileges and benefits under this
Lease and, at the election of the Lessee or its successors or
assigns, to attorn, and the Lessee, for itself and its
successors and assigns, hereby irrevocably appoints the
Lessor, and its successors and assigns, its and their attorney
or attorneys-in-fact to execute and deliver any such
instrument of subordination for and on behalf of the Lessee or
its successors or assigns. The Lessee also agrees for itself
and its successors and assigns that if this Lease is so
subordinated, no entry under any such mortgage or sale for the
purpose of foreclosing the same shall be regarded as an
eviction of the Lessee or its successors or assigns
constructive or otherwise, or give the Lessee or its
successors or assigns any right to terminate this Lease or
treat it as terminated, whether it or they attorn or become
tenant to the mortgagee or new owner, or not.

     22.  No Consent or Waiver. No consent or waiver expressed or implied
by the Lessor to or of any breach in the performance or
observance by the Lessee shall be construed as a consent or
waiver to or of any other breach in the performance or
observance by the Lessee of the same or any other covenant,
agreement, condition or duty. And no receipt or acceptance by
the Lessor of any rent payment with knowledge of any such
breach shall be deemed a waiver thereof (except when the
payment is in compliance with a demand of the Lessor), nor
shall any acceptance of rent in a lesser amount than is herein
provided for, regardless of any endorsement on any check or
any statement in any letter accompanying the payment of rent,
operate or be construed as an accord and satisfaction or in
any manner other than as payment on account of the earliest
rent then unpaid by the Lessee. Acceptance by the Lessor of a
check or checks drawn by others than the Lessee shall not
affect the Lessee's liability hereunder in any manner, nor
shall it be deemed an approval of any assignment of this Lease
by the Lessee.

     23.  Representation. The Lessor and its agents have made no 
representations or promises except as in this Lease expressly set forth, 
and the Lessee agrees that in entering into and taking this Lease, it relies 
solely upon the representation and agreements contained herein and that there 
are no other inducements to the making hereof. This Lease embodies the 
entire contract of the parties hereto and shall not be altered, changed or 
modified in any respect except in writing.

     24.  Notices. Any notice or other communication pursuant to this 
lease which one party desires to give to the other shall be deemed to be
sufficiently and duly given if in writing and sent by
registered or certified mail, return receipt requested,
postage prepaid, or delivered by hand, and received. And until
further notice the Lessor designates KeyBank National
Association, 127 Public Square, Cleveland, Ohio 44114 as its
address for such purpose, and the Lessee designates Camden
National Bank, 2 Elm Street, Camden, Maine 04843, Attention:
Michael McAvoy, as its address for such purpose; but the
foregoing shall not be deemed to preclude the giving of
written notice hereunder in any other manner, in which case
the notice shall be deemed to have been given when actually
received by the party for whom it is intended.

     26.  Quiet Enjoyment. The Lessor, for itself and its successors and
assigns, agrees to warrant and defend unto the Lessee the
peaceful enjoyment and possession of the Leased Premises and
the appurtenances thereto during the term hereof, free from
molestation, eviction or disturbance by the Lessor or by any
person or persons claiming by, through or under the lessor,
conditioned upon the Lessee's performance and observing all
and singular the terms, covenants, agreements and conditions
herein contained on the part of the Lessee to be performed and
observed and upon Lessee's performance of all obligations of
Lessor under the terms of the Master Lease (other than the
payment of rent under the Master Lease).

     27.  Invalidity.  If any term or provision of this Lease, or the 
application thereof to any person or  circumstance,  shall to any extent be
invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease, or the application of
such term or provisions to persons or circumstances other than those as
to which it is invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby,
and each term and provision of this Lease shall be valid and be
enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

     28.  Recording of Lease.
         The  Lessee  agrees  that it will  not  record  this  Lease  but only a
         Memorandum of Lease  prepared in accordance  with the laws of the State
         of Maine,  and the Lessor  agrees to execute,  acknowledge  and deliver
         such  Memorandum.  

     29.  Table of  Contents  Captions.  The table of contents
         preceding this Lease and the captions of this Lease are for convenience
         and reference only and shall not be deemed to define, limit or describe
         the scope or intent of any of the  provisions  of this Lease,  nor have
         any  other  bearing  thereon.  

     30.  Applicable  Law.  This  Lease  shall  be
         construed  and  enforced  in  accordance  with the laws of the State of
         Maine.  

     31.  And  the  following  paragraphs,  Miscellaneous.  

     32. The  Lessor
         agrees,  providing  this  Lease is in full  force and  effect  and that
         Lessee has complied with all its provisions, that the Lessee shall have
         and is hereby granted an option to extend the term of this Leas for two
         (2)  additional  successive  terms of five (5) years each upon the same
         terms and conditions  contained  herein,  except as to rentals.  If the
         Lessee shall elect to exercise the option, it shall do so by giving the
         Lessor notice in writing not later than fourteen (14) months
                  prior to the expiration of the then current term.  It is
 agreed that if these options are exercised, there is no further option 
provision.  At the inception of both the first and second option terms, 
the Lessor shall be entitled to have the annual rental payments for the 
ensuing years of each term reflect any increase in the cost of living which 
occurred during the term (whether original or renewal) then ending.  The 
Lessor shall compute any such increase by using the formula set forth
                  in Paragraph 4 and adjusting the data accordingly.

     33. The Lessee will at its expense promptly comply with all applicable 
laws, rules, regulations and requirements of all public authorities the fire 
insurance rating association having jurisdiction and similar organizations, 
the insurers issuing any of the insurance required by any provision of this 
Lease, except insofar as the Lessor is expressly responsible for compliance 
therewith.

     34.  To the extent available under standard policies of insurance without
 extra cost, or if extra cost shall be charged therefor, so long as the othe
 party pays such extra cost, each party hereby waives all liability of and all
 rights of recovery and subrogation against, and agrees that neither it nor its
 insurers will sue the other party for any loss of or damage to property 
arising out of fire or casualty, and each party agrees that all such insurance
 policies will contain waivers by the insurer of such liability, recovery, 
subrogation and suit. If extra cost is chargeable therefor, each party shall 
advise the other party thereof and of the amount of the extra cost, and the 
other party, at its election, may pay the same, but shall not be obligated to 
do so.

     35.  The Lessee will exonerate and indemnify the Lessor against all 
claims, suits, obligations, liabilities and damages, including attorney's 
fees, arising out of any failure by the Lessee to perform, fulfill or 
observe any obligation or liability of the Lessee set forth in this Lease, 
or any negligent act or omission by the Lessee, or any condition of any kind, 
class or description, however and whenever caused or occurring, in any portion 
of the Leased Premises the Lessee is obligated to maintain or repair.

     36.  Upon receipt of a written request by the Lessor or any holder of a 
mortgage on all or any part of the Leased Premises, the Lessee will thereafter 
send any such holder copies of all notices of default or termination or both 
given by the Lessee to the Lessor in accordance with any provision of this 
Lease.  In the event of any failure by the Lessor to perform, fulfill or 
observe any agreement by the Lessor herein or any breach by the Lessor of 
any representation or warranty of the Lessor herein, any such holder may at 
its election cure such failure or breach for and on behalf of the Lessor.

     37.  The Lessee will from time to time, upon not less than ten (10) days 
prior written request by the Lessor, deliver to the Lessor or any actual or 
prospective purchaser or holder of a mortgage on all or any part of the Leased 
Premises or Shopping Center a written statement certifying whether or not this 
Lease is in full force and effect and stating (a) the last date to which the
rent and other payment have been made, (b) whether or not this Lease has been 
amended, (c) whether or not, to knowledge of the Lessee, the Lessor is in 
default in the performance, fulfillment or observance of any representation,
warranty or agreement by the Lessor set forth herein, or has any indebtedness 
to the Lessee for the payment of money, and (d) if so, each default or 
indebtedness of which the Lessee has knowledge.

     38.  As used herein, the terms "Master Lessor" and "Lessor" shall mean 
the owner for the time of the Master Lessor's and Lessor's estate and property
in the Leased Premises, respectively, and if such estate and property be sold 
or transferred, the seller or assignor shall thereupon be relieved of all 
obligations and liabilities hereunder thereafter arising or occurring, and

and any rent or other  charges paid in advance  shall be refunded by Landlord to
Tenant.

         In case only a part of the Leased  Premises  shall be so taken by right
of eminent  domain,  then, if the part so taken  renders the remaining  premises
unfit or unsuitable  for the use and occupation by Tenant as of the date of such
taking, Tenant may, at Tenant's election, terminate this Lease Agreement ant the
term  hereof by notice to  Landlord  in writing  within  thirty  (30) days after
receiving  notice from  Landlord of such  taking,  effective as of the time that
possession  is required  for public use. If Tenant so elects to  terminate,  the
rent and other  charges paid in advance shall be refunded by Landlord to Tenant.
If Tenant does not elect to terminate,  then this Lease Agreement shall continue
in full force and effect, and Landlord shall, to the extent reasonably possible,
promptly  after  possession  is taken,  restore the Leased  Premises or what may
remain thereof to substantially  the same condition as the same were in prior to
the taking of possession  and to suitable  condition  for use and  occupation by
Tenant,  but Landlord  shall have no  obligation to restore  Tenant"  furniture,
fixtures, and equipment. There shall be a fair and equitable permanent abatement
of the rent payable  hereunder,  due regard being given to the nature and extent
of the portion of the Leased  Premises so taken.  Should the Leased  Premises or
any part thereof be taken by eminent domain and this Lease  Agreement  canceled,
the sums received in payment for the property so taken shall be paid in entirety
to  Landlord,  free of any claim by Tenant,  except as herein  provided.  Tenant
shall be  entitled to receive  and retain the amount  which may be  specifically
awarded  to it in a  condemnation  proceeding  because  of  the  taking  of  its
equipment, furniture or fixtures, and its leasehold improvements.

the following events:

                  Tenant  fails to pay the  rent or any  other  charges  payable
hereunder  and such  failure  continues  for a period of fifteen (15) days after
written notice thereof has been given by Landlord;

                  Tenant  fails to  perform  or  comply  with  any of the  other
covenants,  terms,  provisions,  or conditions of this Lease  Agreement and such
failure  continues for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof
has been given by Landlord;

                  The estate hereby created is taken upon execution or by other
process of law;

                  Any  assignment  is made of the  property  of  Tenant  for the
benefit  of  creditors,  or  a  receiver,  guardian,  conservator,   trustee  in
involuntary bankruptcy, or other similar officer appointed to take charge of all
or  any  substantial  part  of  Tenant's   property  by  a  court  of  competent
jurisdiction, and such appointment is not promptly dismissed; or


                  Tenant  institutes,  or there are instituted  against  Tenant,
bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings of any nature, and such proceedings are not
dismissed within ninety (90) days after they are commenced.

If Tenant is in default, notwithstanding any license of any former
default or consent thereto or any waiver of these rights in a former
instance, Landlord may, immediately or at any time thereafter, without
demand or notice, terminate this Lease Agreement, institute proceedings
to evict Tenant and/or pursue any other remedies available to Landlord
at law or in equity. Further, Tenant covenants and agrees,
notwithstanding any termination or entry by Landlord, to pay and be
liable for, on the days originally filed herein for the payment
thereof, amounts equal to the several installments of rent and other
charges reserved as they would , under the terms of this Lease
Agreement, become due if this Lease Agreement had not been terminated,

part or for a period less than the reminder of the term or for the
whole thereof, but, in the event the Leased Premises, including, but
not limited to, remodeling costs, brokerage fees, and attorneys' fees,
and in collecting the rent in connection therewith. As an alternative,
at the election of Landlord, Tenant will upon such termination pay to
Landlord, as damages, such a sum as at the time of such termination
represents the amount of the excess, if any, of the then value of the
total rent and other benefits which would have accrued to Landlord
under this Lease Agreement for the remainder of the lease term if the
provisions of this Lease Agreement had been fully complied with by
Tenant over and above the then cash rental value, in advance, of the
Leased Premises for the balance of the term.

Tenant hereby leases from Landlord,  subject to the terms and conditions of this
Lease,  the premises  located at Main Street,  Milo,  Maine,  more  particularly

commencing on May 19, 1998 and terminating on May 18, 2001.


        2.1  Option to Renew.  Tenant  shall have the option to renew this Lease
for two (2)  additional  terms  of three  (3)  years  each,  each  option  to be
exercised  separately by Tenant giving Landlord  written notice at least six (6)
months prior to expiration of the previous term, and provided that Tenant is not
in default  under this Lease at the time of exercise of the option.  All renewal
terms shall be on the same terms and conditions as the original term, except for
rent as hereinafter provided.


         SECTION 3. RENT. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord at Landlord's mailing
address  identified above, or at such other place as Landlord shall from time to

         3.1 Additional Rent. In addition to the aforesaid  minimum annual rent,
Tenant agrees to pay as additional  rent all such sums as are due and payable by
Tenant to or on behalf of Landlord pursuant to any of the subsequent  provisions
of this  Lease,  and the  failure of Tenant to pay any sums  required  hereunder
shall  be  deemed  as  failure  to  pay  rent.   Landlord  appoints  Tenant  the
attorney-in-fact  of landlord  for the purpose of making all payments to be made
by Tenant  pursuant to any of the provisions of this Lease to persons other than
Landlord.

         3.2 Net Net Net Lease.  This Lease is  intended  as an  absolutely  net
lease,  and the  minimum  rent,  additional  rent,  and all other  sums  payable
hereunder to or on behalf of Landlord  shall be paid by Tenant without notice or
demand,  and without  set-off,  abatement,  suspension,  deduction,  or defense,
except  as  specifically  and  expressly  set  forth  in this  Lease.  Under  no
circumstances  or conditions  whether now existing or  hereinafter  arising,  or
whether within or beyond the present contemplation of the parties shall Landlord
or Landlord's  successors or assigns be expected or required to make any payment
of any kind whatsoever, or be under any other obligation or liability hereunder,
except as  specifically  and expressly  provided in the Lease.  This Lease shall
always be construed in order to effectuate the foregoing  declared intent of the
parties.

         3.3 Rent During Renewal Terms. If Tenant exercises the options to renew

minimum  annual rent during the second renewal term (if the option is exercised)
shall be $30,250.00 payable in equal monthly installments of $2,520.83.


         SECTION 4. USE.  Tenant shall use the Premises  solely for the purposes
of a branch bank and  financial  services  center,  and for  purposes  ancillary
thereto, and for no other purpose. Tenant shall obtain, at Tenant's expense, all
permits,  licenses,  and  approvals  required by any  federal,  state,  or local
authority.  Tenant  shall not permit any  nuisance on the  Premises,  nor use or
permit any use of the Premises  which is contrary to any law or  ordinance,  nor
permit any use which will  invalidate  any policy of insurance or  materially or

         SECTION 5.  COVENANT  OF QUIET  ENJOYMENT.  So long as Tenant is not in
default  hereunder,  Tenant shall have the peaceful and quiet use and possession
of the Premises  during the term hereof,  subject to the terms and provisions of
this Lease;  but it is understood  and agreed that this covenant and any and all
other  covenants  of  Landlord  contained  in this Lease  shall be binding  upon
Landlord  and  Landlord's  successors  only with  respect to breaches  occurring
during  Landlord's  and  Landlord's  successors'  respective  ownership  of  the
Landlord's interest in the Premises.

         SECTION 6. UTILITIES.  Tenant shall  adequately heat the Premises so as
to  prevent  damage  by  weather  and shall pay all  charges  for all  utilities
furnished  to the  Premises,  including  but not limited to gas,  steam,  water,
electricity  and  sewer  and  telephone  service.   Tenant  will  make  its  own
arrangements for delivery of all necessary heating fuel to the Premises and will
pay when due all charges for such fuel. Landlord shall in no event be liable for
any interruption or failure of utilities or other services on the Premises.

         SECTION 7. TAXES

         7.1 Tenant  shall  pay,  or cause to be paid,  before  the same  become
delinquent,  all real estate taxes, including assessments for local improvements
and any and all other governmental levies or charges of any kind that are levied
upon or assessed  against or with respect to the Premises,  or any part thereof,
during the term of this Lease, pro-rated with respect to any portion of a fiscal
year in which the term of this Lease begins or ends.


         7.2  Without  postponing  payment  or  otherwise   adversely  affecting
Landlord,  Tenant may prosecute appropriate  proceedings in the name of Landlord
or Tenant or both,  but at the sole cost and  expense of Tenant,  to contest the
validity  or amount of any such taxes or  assessments,  or to  recover  payments
therefor,  and shall  indemnify  and save  Landlord  harmless from all costs and
expenses in connection  therewith.  Landlord  shall  cooperate  with Tenant with
respect  to such  proceedings  so far as  reasonably  necessary,  provided  that
Landlord  shall not be  obligated to incur any expense in  connection  with such
cooperation.  Such contest by appropriate  proceedings by the Tenant of any such
tax assessments  shall be undertaken only with the prior express written consent
of Landlord,  which consent shall not be  unreasonably  delayed,  conditioned or
withheld.

         7.3 Tenant  shall also pay all  personal  property  taxes  assessed  or
imposed upon all fixtures and equipment or other personal property of every type
situated in or upon the premises, and Tenant shall pay all license fees or other
governmental charges which may be imposed upon the Premises or the activities of
Tenant.

         7.4 The foregoing  provisions are predicated upon the present system of
taxation in the State of Maine. If taxes upon rentals shall be  substituted,  in
whole or in part,  for the  present ad valorem  real estate  taxes,  then Tenant
agrees to pay such  additional  taxes on  rentals  whether  the same shall be in
addition to or substitute for present ad valorem real estate taxes.  Further, if
there is any other change in the system of taxation which is in  substitution or
in  addition  to the  present  system,  Tenant  agrees  to pay all  such  taxes.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, there is excluded from the Tenant's obligation to
pay real  estate  taxes the  following  taxes:  income,  intangible,  franchise,
capital stock,  estate or inheritance  taxes or taxes substituted for or in lieu
of the foregoing exclusions.

         SECTION 8. PERSONAL PROPERTY.

         8.1  Tenant  may  install  equipment,  machinery,  and  trade  fixtures
necessary to carry on Tenant's  business on the  Premises.  All such  equipment,
machinery, and trade fixtures (including,  without limitation,  the vault doors,
the  drive-up  window  unit,  the  night  depository  unit,  the  counters,  the
under-counter  fill,  the kitchen  equipment,  and all alarm  equipment,  except
wiring and conduit and  specifically  excepting the hearting system) shal remain
the personal property of Tenant, and may be removed by Tenant at any time before
the end of the term of this Lease,  provided  that any damage to the Premises by
such removal is promptly repaired by Tenant at Tenant's own expense.

         8.2 All merchandise,  trade fixtures, and personal property of any kind
in the Premises shall be at Tenant's sole risk, and Landlord shall not be liable
for any loss or damage to property of Tenant or others arising from theft, fire,
explosion,  breakage of water pipes,  steam pipes or other pipes,  or by leaking
roofs, or by any other cause whatsoever unless resulting from the willful act of
Lndlord.

         SECTION 9. REPAIRS OR MAINTENANCE.  Tenant  acknowledges that Tenant is
fully aware of the condition of the Premises and (except as otherwise  expressly
provided  in this  Lease)  agrees to take the same on a  strictly  "as is" basis
without warranty,  obligation,  or representation on the part of Landlord of any
kind whatsoever.


         9.1  Landlord  agrees to keep in good order,  condition  and repair the
roof,  foundation  and structural  portions of the Premises,  (but not including
glass and glass  windows or the so-called  store  front),  except for any damage
thereto  caused by any act or  negligence  of  Tenant,  its  employees,  agents,
licensees  or  contractors;  it being  the  intent  hereof  that the  Landlord's
obligation  to maintain the  foregoing  is to be limited to repairs  required by
normal and reasonable  wear and tear.  Landlord shall not be responsible to make
any other improvements or repairs of any kind upon the Premises.

         9.2 Except as provided in 9.1 above,  Tenant  shall,  at Tenant's  sole
cost and expense, maintain the Premises in at least as good condition and repair
(reasonable  wear and tear excepted) as they are in at the  commencement  of the
term of this Lease or as they may be put in thereafter.  Tenant shall not permit
the  Premises to be  overloaded,  damaged,  stripped  or defaced,  or suffer any
waste.  Tenant's  duty to maintain  and repair the  Premises  includes,  without
limitation, all mechanical,  hearing, plumbing and electrical components and all
nonstructural,  interior  and  exterior  portions  of the  Premises  and whether
constructed  or  installed by Landlord or by Tenant.  Tenant shall  maintain all
exterior areas and  landscaping  in and about the Premises,  keep any lawn areas
mowed,  and keep all driveways,  walks, and parking and loading areas within the
Premises in good repair and reasonably free of snow and ice.

         9.3 All  alternations or repairs  required by public  authorities  with
respect to  Tenant's  specific  use of the  Premises  shall be made by Tenant at
Tenant's expense.

         SECTION  10.   ALTERATIONS.   Tenant  will  not  make  any   structural
alterations  or any  nonstructural  changes  costing more than  $25,000,  to the
Premises  or any  part  thereof,  without  first  obtaining  Landlord's  written
approval,  which  approval  will not be  unreasonably  delayed,  conditioned  or
withheld. All work done on the Premises shall meet the following requirements:


         10.1 The work will not  adversely  affect the  structural  strength  or
integrity of the Premises;

         10.2 All  remodeling  shall be done in full  conformity  with plans and

         10.4     All work shall be done in a good and first-class workmanlike 
manner;

         10.5 All work done by Tenant shall be in compliance with all applicable

shall  indemnify  and hold  Landlord  harmless  from any loss,  cost, or expense
arising from failure to comply with such requirements;

         10.6 Tenant shall not permit any mechanics  liens, or similar liens, to
remain upon the  Premises in  connection  with any work  performed or claimed to
have been  performed at the direction of Tenant and shall cause any such lien to
be  released of record  forthwith  (through  the filing of a bond or  otherwise)
without cost to Landlord.

         SECTION 11. INDEMNIFICATION; INSURANCE.

         11.1 Indemnity.  Tenant shall indemnify and save Landlord harmless from

negligence of Tenant, or Tenant's contractors,  licensees,  agents,  servants or
employees, or arising from any accident,  injury, or damage whatsoever caused to
any person or to the property of any person  occurring during the term hereof in

misconduct of Landlord or its agents. This indemnity and hold harmless agreement
shall include indemnity against all costs, expenses, and liabilities of any kind
whatsoever  incurred  in or in  connection  with  any such  claim or  proceeding
brought thereon, and the defense thereof.

liability  of such  insurance  shall be  $1,000,000.00  for  injury  or death to

Landlord, Lender, and Tenant, as their interest may appear.

         11.4  Release and Waiver of  Subrogation.  Insofar as and to the extent
that the following provisions may be effective without invalidating or making it
impossible to secure insurance  coverage  obtainable from responsible  insurance
companies  doing  business in the State of Maine (even though extra  premium may
result  therefrom),  Landlord and Tenant mutually agree that with respect to any
loss which is covered by insurance then being carried by them respectively,  the
one carrying such insurance and suffering  such loss,  releases the other of and
from  any and all  claims  with  respect  to such  loss,  to the  extent  of the
insurance  proceeds paid under such policies,  and Landlord and Tenant  mutually
agree  that  their  respective  insurance  companies  shall  have  no  right  of
subrogation  against the other on account  thereof.  Nothing  contained  in this
section shall be deemed to modify or otherwise affect releases  elsewhere herein

therefore,  shall be delivered by Tenant to Landlord and shall,  upon request of
Landlord,  also be delivered  by Tenant to the holder of any mortgage  affecting
the Premises.  All such insurance  policies shall provide that such policy shall
not be amended or canceled  without at least then (10) days prior written notice
to Landlord.  All such  insurance  shall be placed with a responsible  insurance
company reasonably  satisfactory to Landlord and authorized to transact business
in the  State  of  Maine.  The  insurance  required  herein  may be  written  in
connection with a so-called "blanket policy."

         SECTION 12. COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAWS.  Tenant shall,  throughout
the term of this Lease and at Tenant" sole  expense,  promptly  observe,  comply
with and execute all laws and  regulations  of all federal,  state and municipal

required  because  of such use;  and shall  procure  any  licenses  and  permits
required for any such use.  Tenant shall comply with all  governmental  laws and

                  limitation,  attorney  and  consultant  fees,  court costs and
                  litigation expenses) arising during or after the Lease term as
                  a result  of any  violation  by  Tenant  of the  terms of this
                  Section,  or any  contamination  of the  Premises or any other
                  land of Landlord by Hazardous  Materials as a result of action
                  by Tenant  or  Tenant's  agents,  employees,  contractors,  or
                  invitees.

occupation of the Premises,  and shall  indemnify and hold Tenant  harmless from
any costs associated therewith.

maintain  a  freestanding  or  attached  sign or  signs  of  suitable  size  for
visibility  from adjacent public ways and indicating  Tenant's  occupancy of the
Premises,  at Tenant's  sole expense,  provided that Tenant must obtain  written
approval  from  Landlord as to the design and  location of all  exterior  signs,
which approval shall not be unreasonably delayed,  conditioned or withheld.  All
signs must comply with all applicable laws and  ordinances,  and Tenant shall be
responsible  for obtaining all necessary  permits from  applicable  governmental
authorities,  at Tenant" sole  expense.  Landlord's  prior  consent shall not be
required as to signs  required by law or  regulation or in the event of a change
in the name,  logo or color of any signage  consistent  with Tenant's  corporate
standard.  All Tenant's signs shall comply with all  requirements of appropriate
governmental  authorities,  and all  necessary  permits  or  licenses  shall  be
obtained by Tenant.  Landlord shall  cooperate with Tenant in obtaining all such
required  permits and licenses.  By execution of this Lease,  Landlord  shall be
deemed to have  approved  all signs  located at the  Premises on the date of the
Lease.

         SECTION 15. EMINENT DOMAIN. In the case of any taking by eminent domain
of either the whole or such lesser  portion of the  Premises as to preclude  the
use of the Premises by Tenant for the purpose for which leased,  then this Lease
shall terminate on the date of such taking. If only a portion of the Premises is
taken, and such taking does not unreasonably  impair the use of the Premises for
the purpose for which leased, the minimum rent shall be equitably abated for the
remainder of the term.


         15.1  Condemnation  Award.  Should the  Premises or any part thereof be
taken by eminent domain,  the sums received in payment for the property so taken
shall be paid in their entirety to Landlord, free of any claim by Tenant, except
that Tenant  shall be  entitled  to receive  and retain any amount  which may be
specifically  awarded  to Tenant in a  condemnation  proceeding  because  of the
taking of any machinery,  equipment,  trade fixtures, or other property owned by
Tenant on the Premises.


         SECTION  16.  DAMAGE  OR  DESTRUCTION.  In the  event of  damage  to or
destruction of the Premises or any part thereof from fire or other
casualty, at any time during the term of this Lease, Tenant, with all
reasonable diligence shall reconstruct, repair, replace or restore the
Premises to their condition immediately preceding such casualty and
this obligation shall not be limited in any way by the amount of
available insurance proceeds. No damage to or destruction of the
Premises or any part thereof from any cause shall operate to terminate
this Lease or relieve, reduce, or discharge Tenant's continuing
obligation during the term of this Lease for the payment of rents and
other sums due under this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
during the last year of the term of this Lease the Premises are totally
destroyed or so substantially damaged that the restoration could not
reasonably be completed with on hundred twenty (120) days from the date
of the casualty, either Landlord or Tenant shall have the right to
terminate this Lease by giving written notice to the other no later
than thirty (30) days following the date of such damage or destruction.
In the event of such termination, Landlord shall be entitled to receive
and retain the entire amount of insurance proceeds.

         SECTION  17.  ASSIGNMENT  OR  SUBLETTING.   Notwithstanding  any  other
provisions of this Lease, Tenant shall have no right to assign this
Lease or sublet (which term, without limitation, shall include the
granting of concessions, licenses and the like) the whole or any part
of the Premises without in each instance having first received the
prior express written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be
unreasonably delayed, conditioned or withheld. In any case where
Landlord shall so consent to such assignment or subletting, Tenant
shall remain fully liable to Landlord for all of the obligations
imposed upon Tenant under this Lease, including without limitation, the
obligation to pay the rent and other charges. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to sublease all or a portion of
the Premises, to permit occupancy of all or a portion of the Premises,
and to assign its interest in this Lease to any Affiliated Entity, as
hereinafter defined, without Landlord's consent, provided that Tenant
shall give Landlord written notice of any such sublease or assignment.
"Affiliated Entity" for purposes of this provision is defined as (a)
any entity which controls, is controlled by, or is under common control
with Tenant, (b) any entity that succeeds to Tenant's business by
merger, reorganization or other form of corporate reorganization, and

assets and/or stocks.

Landlord  shall  have  the  right  to  enter  the  Premises   after   reasonable
notification  to Tenant for the purpose of  inspecting  the  Premises or to make
repairs.  For a period commencing one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the end
of the term of this Lease,  Landlord  shall have the right to enter the Premises
at any reasonable  times,  for the purpose of exhibiting the same to prospective
tenants or purchasers.  Landlord shall at all times show due regard for Tenant's
reasonable security concerns.


         SECTION  19.  SUBORDINATION.  This  Lease is and shall be  subject  and
subordinate to any mortgages that may now exist or hereafter be placed
upon the Premises by Landlord, and to any and all advances to be made
thereunder, and all renewals, replacements, and extensions thereof.
This provision shall be self-operative, but Tenant shall, upon request,
execute and deliver any documents to confirm this subordination, as may
be desired by holders of such mortgages, and if requested by the
mortgagee, to agree not to prepay rent more than thirty (30) days in
advance, provided that the holder of such mortgage enters into a
non-disturbance agreement with Tenant by the terms of which such holder
agrees to recognize this Lease and not to disturb Tenant's possession
of the Premises hereunder so long as Tenant continues to perform all
obligations under this lease, and, in the event of acquisition of title
by such holder through foreclosure proceedings or otherwise, to accept
Tenant as tenant of the Premises under the terms and conditions of this
Lease and to perform Landlord's obligations under this Lease (but only
while owner of the Premises), and Tenant agrees to attorn to and
recognize such holder or any other person acquiring title to the
Premises as Landlord.

         SECTION 20. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES.  Tenant agrees, upon at least thirty
(30) days prior  written  request by  Landlord  from time to time,  to  execute,
acknowledge,  and deliver to Landlord a written  statement  certifying that this
Lease is  unmodified  and in full  force and effect (or that the same is in full
force and effect as modified, listing the modifications), the date to which rent
and other  charges  have been paid,  and  whether or not to the best of Tenant's
knowledge  Landlord is in default hereunder (and if so, specifying the nature of
the default),  it being intended that any such statement  delivered  pursuant to
this  section may be relied upon by a  prospective  purchaser  or  mortgagee  or
Landlord's interest in the Premises.

         SECTION 21.  DEFAULT.  Tenant shall be in default  under this Lease if:
(i) Tenant  shall fail to pay any  installment  of rent or any other  payment to
Landlord or other  parties  required  herein,  when due, and such failure  shall
continue for a period of seven (7) days after Tenant's receipt of written notice
from Landlord; (ii) Tenant shall become insolvent or make a transfer in fraud of
creditors;  (iii) a petition  shall be filed  against  Tenant under any state or
federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws or under any similar law or statute of the
United States or any state, and not discharged within sixty (60) days after such
filing, or Tenant shall file such petition, or Tenant shall be adjudged bankrupt
or  insolvent  in any  proceeding;  (iv)  any  assignment  shall  be made of the
property  of Tenant  for the  benefit of  creditors,  or a  receiver,  guardian,
conservator, trustee in involuntary bankruptcy or other similar officer shall be
appointed to take charge of all or any substantial part of Tenant's property, or
the estate  hereby  created  shall be taken on execution or by other  process of
law; (v) Tenant shall fail to comply with any  covenant,  term,  or provision of
this Lease (other than the payment of rent and other charges) and shall not cure
such failure within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof to Tenant,  or
such additional time as is reasonably required to correct such failure.

         In case of any such default, and regardless of any waiver or consent to
any earlier event of default,  Landlord, at its option, may exercise any and all
remedies available to Landlord at law or equity, all of such rights and remedies
to be cumulative and not exclusive, including without limitation the following:

         Landlord may terminate this Lease,  and Tenant shall quit and surrender
the Premises and remain liable as set forth below;

         Landlord may immediately,  or at any subsequent time, without demand or
further  notice,  reenter  the  Premises  with or without  process  of law,  and
repossess the Premises and expel Tenant and those  claiming  under  Tenant,  and
Landlord  may remove any  property  from the  Premises and store the same in any
warehouse,  all at the expense and risk of Tenant, or may dispose of the same in
accordance  with  applicable  law, and Tenant  shall remain  liable as set forth
below;

         In   the event of termination  or re-entry after default,  Tenant shall
pay Landlord as damages all rent, and other charges, payable under
this Lease up to the time of re-entry or termination, and all rent
that Tenant would have been required to pay until the expiration
of the then current term of this lease, whether or not the
Premises shall be relet, as and when due in accordance with the
provisions of this Lease, plus all expenses of re-entering,
repossession, and all expenses in connection with any reletting,
including without limitation expenses for altering and repairing
the Premises for any new tenant, attorneys' fees and brokers
commissions, less the net proceeds to Landlord of any reletting of
the Premises, and subject to Landlord's obligation to mititgate
damages under applicable law. Any suit brought by Landlord to
recover the damages due under this section shall not prejudice
Landlord' right to recover in any subsequent action brought for
any amount not previously reduced to judgment.

         At any time  after  termination,  whether  or not  Landlord  shall have
collected any damages under (C) above, Landlord shall be entitled, at Landlord's
option, to obtain from Tenant, on demand, as liquidated final damages, an amount
equal to the present  value to Landlord of the rent and other changes that would
have been  payable  by Tenant if this  Lease had  remained  in effect  until the
expiration of the current term,  minus the fair rental value of the Premises for
the same period.

         SECTION 22. ATTORNEYS' FEES. In the event of an action by either of the
parties hereto against the other to enforce any obligation under this Lease, the
prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys' fees and
expense  from the other.  If Landlord or any of  Landlord's  agents or employees
shall  become  a party  to or  participate  in any  judicial  or  administrative
proceeding  which  arises as a result of  Landlord  being a party to this Lease,
Tenant shall pay and indemnify

         Landlord against all costs and charges, including reasonable attorneys'
fees, which Landlord or Landlord's agents or employees shall incur.

         SECTION 23. RECORDING. This Lease shall not be recorded in any registry
of deeds or other public office, but each party agrees to execute,  acknowledge,
and deliver,  at the request of the other party,  a memorandum  of this Lease in
appropriate  form  for  recording,   in  accordance  with  Maine  statute.  Such
memorandum  will not set forth the  rental or other  charges  payable  by Tenant
under this Lease,  and shall expressly state that it is not intended to vary the
terms or conditions of this Lease.

         SECTION 24.  NOTICES.  Whenever by the terms of this Lease notice shall

or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall to any extent
 be invalid or unenforceable  for any reason,  then the remainder of this Lease,

than  those  as to which  it is held  invalid  or  unenforceable,  shall  not be
affected  thereby,  and each term or  provision of this Lease shall be valid and
enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

parties, their legal representatives, successors and assigns.  The term

Lease;  (ii) be applicable to delays  resulting from the inability of a party to
obtain financing or to proceed with its obligations  under this Lease because of
a lack of funds;  or (iii)  delay or  postpone  any of the  rights  specifically
