 PREAMBLE 

This NBT Bancorp Inc. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the “Plan”) is effective as of December 19, 2016. The purpose of the Plan is to
permit certain employees of NBT Bancorp Inc. (the “Company”), its subsidiary, NBT Bank, National Association (the “Bank”) and adopting affiliated employers to receive supplemental retirement income when such amounts would be due
under the benefit and contribution formulas in the tax-qualified NBT Bancorp Inc. Defined Benefit Pension Plan and NBT Bancorp Inc. 401(k) and Employee Stock Ownership Plan but cannot be paid thereunder due to the reductions and other limitations
imposed by Sections 401(a)(17), 401(k)(3), 401(m) and 415 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Capitalized terms are defined in Article 1 below. 

The Plan is intended to be an unfunded, non-qualified deferred compensation plan. Neither the Employer, the Committee, nor the individual members of the
Committee shall segregate or otherwise identify specific assets to be applied to the purposes of the Plan, nor shall any of them be deemed to be a trustee of any amounts to be paid under the Plan. Any liability of the Employer to any person with
respect to benefits payable under the Plan shall be based solely upon such contractual obligations, if any, as shall be created by the Plan, and shall give rise only to a claim against the general assets of the Employer. No such liability shall be
deemed to be secured by any pledge or any other encumbrance on any specific property of the Employer.

with losses, as if such investments had actually been made. 

 ARTICLE 6 

MODES OF BENEFIT PAYMENT AND 

VESTING OF BENEFITS 
  

	6.1	Payment of any Retirement Income Benefit and 401(k)/ESOP Benefit under the Plan to a Participant, beneficiary, joint or contingent annuitant or eligible child shall be made in the normal form in which benefits are made
under the Basic Retirement Plan and Basic 401(k)/ESOP, respectively, and commence on the Default Payment Commencement Date; provided, however, that payment shall instead be made in accordance with the Participant’s Payment Election if the
Participant has in place a valid Payment Election. To be valid, the Payment Election shall be an irrevocable election made on such form provided by the Company and filed with the Company no later than January 30, 2017. Notwithstanding any

Participant’s Payment Commencement Date, but in no event more than 60 days following the Payment Commencement Date).

ARTICLE 7 

DEATH BENEFITS

	7.2	With respect to any Retirement Income Benefit, if a Basic Retirement Plan pre-retirement survivor annuity or post retirement survivor annuity, as the case may be, is payable to a Participant’s surviving spouse or
eligible children, if applicable, a supplemental pre-retirement survivor annuity or post retirement survivor annuity, as the case may be, shall be payable to the surviving spouse or eligible children, if applicable, under the Plan. The monthly
amount of the Supplemental Surviving Spouse Benefit pre-retirement survivor annuity or post retirement survivor annuity, as the case may be, payable to a surviving spouse or eligible children, if applicable, shall be equal to the excess, if any, of
the amount specified in (a) over the amount specified in (b), as stated below: 

  

	 	(a)	the monthly amount of Basic Retirement Plan pre-retirement survivor annuity or post retirement survivor annuity, as the case may be, to which the surviving spouse or eligible children, if applicable, would have been
entitled under the Basic Retirement Plan, if such benefit were calculated under the Basic Retirement Plan without giving effect to the limitations and restrictions imposed by the Plan Limitation Provisions and any other provisions of the Basic
Retirement Plan that are necessary to comply with Code Sections 401(a)(17) and 415, or any successor provisions thereto; 

  

	 	(b)	(i) the monthly amount of Basic Retirement Plan pre-retirement survivor annuity or post retirement survivor annuity, as the case may be, actually payable to the surviving spouse or eligible children, if applicable,
under the Basic Retirement Plan, after the limitations imposed by the application of Plan Limitation Provisions and any other provisions of the Basic Retirement Plan that are necessary to comply with Code Sections 401(a)(17) and 415, or any
successor provisions thereto plus (ii) the monthly amount that is the actuarial equivalent (determined in accordance with the Basic Retirement Plan) of any supplemental retirement benefit payable to the surviving spouse or eligible children, if
applicable, by any Employer following the Participant’s death pursuant to any Supplemental Retirement Agreement with the Participant. 


  
 9 









	7.3	The Retirement Income Benefit supplemental pre-retirement survivor annuity or post retirement survivor annuity shall be payable over the lifetime of the surviving spouse, or to eligible children to the extent provided
in the Basic Retirement Plan, in monthly installments commencing on the same date as payment of the Basic Retirement Plan pre-retirement survivor annuity or post retirement survivor annuity, as the case may be, and shall terminate on the date of the
last payment of the Basic Retirement Plan pre-retirement survivor annuity or post retirement survivor annuity, as the case may be. 

  

	7.4	With respect to any 401(k)/ESOP Benefit, all amounts credited to the Participant’s Deferral Credit Account shall be payable in a single lump sum to the Participant’s surviving spouse, if any, as a Supplemental
Surviving Spouse Benefit, unless an optional mode has been elected pursuant to Article 6. 

  

	7.5	Upon the death of a Participant under the circumstances set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 7.1, if no Basic Retirement Plan Surviving Spouse Benefit, or Basic 401(k)/ESOP Surviving Spouse
Benefit, as the case may be, is payable, (a) no further Retirement Income Benefit shall be payable, unless an optional mode has been elected pursuant to Article 6, and (b) all amounts credited to the Participant’s Deferral Credit
Account shall be payable to the Participant’s designated beneficiary in a single lump sum, unless an optional mode has been elected pursuant to Article 6. 


ARTICLE 8 

UNFUNDED PLAN 
  

	8.1	The Plan shall be administered as an unfunded plan and is not intended to meet the qualification requirements of Sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the Code. No Participant or beneficiary shall be entitled to receive any
payment or benefits under the Plan from the qualified trust maintained in connection with the Basic Retirement Plan and Basic 401(k)/ESOP.

investments in one or more registered investment companies under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, to the extent permitted by applicable banking or other law; provided, however, that no Participant or beneficiary shall have any
interest in such investment, trust, or reserve. 

  

	8.3	To the extent that any Participant or beneficiary acquires a right to receive benefits under the Plan, such rights shall be no greater than those rights which guarantee to the Participant or beneficiary the strongest
claim to such benefits, without resulting in the Participant’s or beneficiary’s constructive receipt of such benefits. 

  

	8.4	With respect to any 401(k)/ESOP Benefit, 100% of the Participant’s Deferral Credit Account shall be deemed to be invested as provided in Section 5.4 above. A Participant’s Deferral Credit Account may not
be encumbered or assigned by a Participant or any beneficiary. 


  
 10

	 	(d)	the power to interpret the Plan, and to resolve ambiguities, inconsistencies and omissions, which findings shall be binding, final and conclusive; 


 

	 	(e)	the power to decide on questions concerning the Plan in accordance with the provisions of the Plan; 

  

	 	(f)	the power to determine the amount of benefits which shall be payable to any person in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and to provide a full and fair review to any Participant whose claim for benefits has been
denied in whole or in part; 

  

	 	(g)	the power to designate a person who may or may not be a member of the Committee as Plan “Administrator” for purposes of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA); if the Committee does not so
designate an Administrator, the Committee shall be the Plan Administrator; 

  

	 	(h)	the power to allocate any such powers and duties to or among individual members of the Committee; and

	9.4	To the extent permitted by law, the Committee and any person to whom it may delegate any duty or power in connection with administering the Plan, the Company, any Employer, and the officers and directors thereof, shall
be entitled to rely conclusively upon, and shall be fully protected in any action taken or suffered by them in good faith in the reliance upon, any actuary, counsel, accountant, other specialist, or other person selected by the Committee, or in
reliance upon any tables, valuations, certificates, opinions or reports which shall be furnished by any of them. Further, to the extent permitted by law, no member of the Committee, nor the Company, any Employer, nor the officers or directors
thereof, shall be liable for any neglect, omission or wrongdoing of any other members of the Committee, agent, officer or employee of the Company or any Employer. Any person claiming benefits under the Plan shall look solely to the Employer for
redress. 

  

	9.5	All expenses incurred before the termination of the Plan that shall arise in connection with the administration of the Plan (including, but not limited to administrative expenses, proper charges and disbursements,

 ARTICLE 10 

AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION 
  

	10.1	The Board shall have the power to suspend or terminate the Plan in whole or in part at any time, and from time to time to extend, modify, amend or revise the Plan in such respects as the Board, by resolution, may deem
advisable; provided, however, that no such extension, modification, amendment, revision, or termination shall deprive a Participant or any beneficiary of any benefit accrued under the Plan. 


 

	10.2	In the event of a termination or partial termination of the Plan, the rights of all affected parties, if any, to benefits accrued to the date of such termination or partial termination, shall become nonforfeitable to
the same extent that such rights would be nonforfeitable if such benefits were provided under the Basic Retirement Plan or the Basic 401(k)/ESOP and such plans were terminated on such date. 


 

	10.3	No amendment of the Plan shall reduce the vested and accrued benefits, if any, of a Participant under this Plan, except to the extent that such a reduction would be permitted if such benefits were provided under the
Basic Retirement Plan or the Basic 401(k)/ESOP. 

  

	10.4	In the event of the termination or partial termination of the Plan: (a) the Company shall pay in one lump sum to affected Participants or their beneficiaries the 401(k)/ESOP Benefit, if any, to which they are
entitled, as if such Participants’ termination of service had occurred on the date the Plan is terminated, and (b) the Retirement Income Benefit, if any, to which they are entitled shall continue to be payable. 


ARTICLE 11 

GENERAL PROVISIONS 
  

	11.1	The Plan shall not be deemed to constitute an employment contract between the Employer and any Employee or other person, whether or not in the employ of the Employer, nor shall anything herein contained be deemed to
give any Employee or other person, whether or not in the employ of the Employer, any right to be retained in the employ of the Employer, or to interfere with the right of the Employer to discharge any Employee at any time and to treat such Employee
without any regard to the effect which such treatment might have upon such Employee as a Participant of the Plan. 

  

	11.2	 Except as provided in Section 11.4, or as may otherwise be required by law, no distribution or payment under
the Plan to any Participant or beneficiary shall be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge, whether voluntary or involuntary, and any attempt to so anticipate, alienate, sell,
transfer, 



  
 13 








 
assign, pledge, encumber or charge the same shall be void; nor shall any such distribution or payment be in any way liable for or subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements or
torts of any person entitled to such distribution or payment. If any Participant or beneficiary is adjudicated bankrupt or purports to anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber or charge any such distribution or payment,
voluntarily or involuntarily, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may cancel such distribution or payment or may hold or cause to be held or applied such distribution or payment, or any part thereof, to or for the benefit of such Participant or
beneficiary, in such manner as the Committee shall direct. 
  

	11.3	If the Employer determines that any person entitled to payments under the Plan is incompetent by reason of physical or mental disability, it may cause all payments thereafter becoming due to such person to be made to
any other person for his or her benefit, without responsibility to follow application of amounts so paid. Payments made pursuant to this provision shall completely discharge the Plan, the Employer and the Committee. 


 

	11.4	Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan: 

  

	 	(a)	if the Employer determines that Cause exists for the termination of the Participant’s employment, the Participant and his or her spouse and beneficiaries shall forfeit all rights to any payments under this Plan;


  

	 	(b)	no benefits shall accrue under this Plan prior to the Effective Date, nor shall benefits accrue related to any services provided prior to such Effective Date; 


 

	 	(c)	no amounts shall be payable hereunder to the Participant and his or her spouse and beneficiaries: 


(i) following any breach by the Participant of any provision of any employment or other written agreement with the Company, the Bank or any
other Employer with respect to confidentiality, non-competition, non-interference with, or non-solicitation of, employees, customers, suppliers or agents or similar matters, provided that no Change in Control shall have occurred before such
breach; 
 (ii) if, without the prior written consent of the Company, the Participant discloses or divulges to any third party, except as
may be required by his or her duties, by law, regulation, or order of a court or government authority, or as directed by the Company, or uses to the detriment of the Company or its affiliates or in any business or on behalf of any business
competitive with or substantially similar to any business of the Company or the Bank or their affiliates, any Confidential Information obtained during the course of his or her employment by the Company, the Bank or any affiliate of any of either of
them, provided that this Section 11.4(c)(ii) shall not be construed as restricting the Participant from disclosing such information to the employees of the Company or the Bank or their affiliates; 

  
 14 








 (iii) if while the Participant is employed by the Company, the Bank, any Employer or any
affiliate of any of them or within two years after any termination of such employment other than in anticipation of or following a Change in Control, the Participant (A) interferes with the relationship of the Company, the Bank or their
affiliates with any of their employees, suppliers, agents, or representatives (including, without limitation, causing or helping another business to hire any employee of the Company, the Bank or their affiliates), or (B) directly or indirectly
diverts or attempts to divert from the Company, the Bank or their affiliates any business in which any of them has been actively engaged during the period of such employment, or interferes with the relationship of the Company, the Bank or their
affiliates with any of their customers or prospective customers, provided, that this Section 11.4(c)(iii) shall not, in and of itself, prohibit the Participant from engaging in the banking, trust, or financial services business in any
capacity, including that of an owner or employee; and 
  

	 	(d)	if any particular provision of this section 11.4 shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be deemed amended to delete from the portion thus adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable,
such deletion to apply only with respect to the operation of such provision in the particular jurisdiction in which such adjudication is made. In addition, should any court determine that the provisions of this section 11.4 shall be unenforceable
with respect to scope, duration, or geographic area, such court shall be empowered to substitute, to the extent enforceable, provisions similar hereto or other provisions so as to provide to the Company, the Bank and their affiliates, to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, the benefits intended by this section 11.4. 

  

	11.5	The Employer shall be the sole source of benefits under the Plan, and each Employee, Participant, beneficiary, or any other person who shall claim the right to any payment or benefit under the Plan shall be entitled to
look solely to the Employer for payment of benefits. 

  

	11.6	If the Employer is unable to make payment to any Participant, beneficiary, or any other person to whom a payment is due under the Plan, because it cannot ascertain the identity or whereabouts of such Participant,
beneficiary, or other person after reasonable efforts have been made to identify or locate such person (including a notice of the payment so due mailed to the last known address of such Participant, beneficiary, or other person shown on the records
of the Employer), such payment and all subsequent payments otherwise due to such Participant, beneficiary or other person shall be forfeited 24 months after the date such payment first became due; provided, however, that such payment and any
subsequent payments shall be reinstated, retroactively, no later than 60 days after the date on which the Participant, beneficiary, or other person shall make application therefor. Neither the Company, the Committee nor any other person shall have
any duty or obligation under the Plan to make any effort to locate or identify any person entitled to benefits under the Plan, other than to mail a notice to such person’s last known mailing address. 


  
 15 









	11.7	If upon the payment of any benefits under the Plan, the Employer shall be required to withhold any amounts with respect to such payment by reason of any federal, state or local tax laws, rules or regulations, then the
Employer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold such amounts from any such payments. In any event, such person shall make available to the Employer, promptly when requested by the Employer, sufficient funds or other property to meet the
requirements of such withholding. Furthermore, at any time the Employer shall be obligated to withhold taxes, the Employer shall be entitled to take and authorize such steps as it may deem advisable in order to have the amounts required to be
withheld made available to the Employer out of any funds or property due to become due to such person, whether under the Plan or otherwise. 

  

	11.8	The Committee, in its discretion, may increase or decrease the amount of any benefit payable hereunder if and to the extent that it determines, in good faith, that an increase is necessary in order to avoid the omission
of a benefit intended to be payable under this Plan or that a decrease is necessary in order to avoid a duplication of the benefits intended to be payable under this Plan. 


 

	11.9	The provisions of the Plan shall be construed, administered and governed under applicable federal laws and the laws of the State of New York. In applying the laws of the State of New York, no effect shall be given to
conflict of laws principles that would cause the laws of another jurisdiction to apply.
