(C) Executive's willful neglect, failure,
or refusal to carry out his duties hereunder in a reasonable manner (other than

his duties and Executive has not resumed substantial performance of his duties
on a continuous basis within thirty days of receiving such demand; or
(D) the breach by Executive of any
representation or warranty in section 6(a) hereof or of any agreement contained

requirement, in which event this Agreement shall continue in accordance with its
terms, (y) require NBTB to engage in good-faith re-negotiation of the terms of
this Agreement, or (z) resign his employment, in which event such resignation
shall be deemed to be a resignation following a "Change in Reporting."

consistent with the normal payroll practices of NBTB with respect to executive
personnel as presently in effect or as they may be modified by NBTB from time to

letter agreement dated January 1, 2000 between NBTB and Executive (the

for NBTB and its affiliates under this Agreement, Executive shall be compensated
in the following manner:
(a) SALARY. During the Term of Employment:
(i) NBTB shall pay Executive a salary which, on
an annual basis, shall not be less than $230,000 during the Term of Employment,
-4-
assuming Executive performs competently. Salary shall be payable in accordance
with the normal payroll practices of NBTB with respect to executive personnel as
presently in effect or as they may be modified by NBTB from time to time.
(ii) Executive shall be entitled to annual salary
increases of 8 percent during the Term of Employment, beginning in the second

(iii) Executive shall be eligible to be considered
for performance bonuses of up to 75 percent of salary, in accordance with the
compensation policies of NBTB with respect to executive personnel as presently
in effect or as they may be modified by NBTB from time to time.
(b) EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS OR ARRANGEMENTS. During the Term of
Employment, Executive shall be entitled to participate in all employee benefit
plans of NBTB, as presently in effect or as they may be modified by NBTB from
time to time, under such terms as may be applicable to officers of Executive's
rank employed by NBTB or its affiliates, including, without limitation, plans
providing retirement benefits, stock options, medical insurance, life insurance,
disability insurance, and accidental death or dismemberment insurance, provided
that there be no duplication of such benefits as are provided under any other
provision of this Agreement.
(c) STOCK OPTIONS. Each January or February annually during
the Term of Employment, NBTB will cause Executive to be granted a non-statutory
("non-qualified") stock option (each an "Option") to purchase the number of
shares of the common stock of NBTB, no par value, $1.00 stated value, or the
common stock of NBTB as reclassified to have a par value of $.01 per share, as
the case may be (the "NBTB Common Stock"), pursuant to the NBT Bancorp Inc. 1993
Stock Option Plan, as amended, or any appropriate successor plan (the "Stock
Option Plan"), computed by dividing 250 percent of the annualized salary of
Executive on the date of grant of the Option by the "Fair Market Value" of NBTB
Common Stock (as defined in the Stock Option Plan). The option exercise price
per share of the shares subject to each Option shall be such Fair Market Value,
and the terms, conditions of exercise, and vesting schedule of such Option shall
be as set forth in section 8 of the Stock Option Plan.
(d) VACATION AND SICK LEAVE. During the Term of Employment,
Executive shall be entitled to paid annual vacation periods and sick leave in
accordance with the policies of NBTB as in effect as of the Commencement Date or

Executive's rank employed by NBTB or its affiliates, but in no event less than
four weeks of paid vacation per year.
(e) AUTOMOBILE. During the Term of Employment, Executive shall
be entitled to the use of an automobile owned by NBTB or an affiliate of NBTB,
the make, model, and year of which automobile shall be appropriate to an officer
of Executive's rank employed by NBTB or its affiliates and consistent with that

provided to others of Executive's rank employed by NBTB or its affiliates.
During the first year of the Term of Employment, the automobile used by
Executive will be replaced with a new automobile, whose value shall not exceed
$45,000 escalated by an amount calculated by the controller's division of NBT
Bank to adjust for the effect of inflation upon $45,000 between the Commencement
Date and the date of the replacement of the vehicle (an "Inflation Adjustment").
During the remaining term of the Term of Employment, should three years elapse
from the date of the automobile replacement described in the previous sentence
(or any subsequent automobile replacement that takes place under this section),
or, if earlier, should the replaced automobile (or any automobile provided under
such subsequent automobile replacement) have accumulated 50,000 miles, then it
will be replaced with a new automobile whose value shall not exceed the sum of
$45,000 and an Inflation Adjustment. Executive shall be responsible for all
expenses of ownership and use of any such automobile, subject to reimbursement
of expenses for business use in accordance with section 3(h).
(f) COUNTRY CLUB DUES. During the Term of Employment,
Executive shall be reimbursed for dues and assessments incurred in relation to

supporting information as may from time to time be requested, in accordance with
such policies of NBTB as are in effect as of the Commencement Date and as may be
modified by NBTB from time to time, under such terms as may be applicable to
officers of Executive's rank employed by NBTB or its affiliates.
4. CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS INFORMATION; NON-COMPETITION.
(a) Executive acknowledges that certain business methods,
creative techniques, and technical data of NBTB and its affiliates and the like
are deemed by NBTB to be and are in fact confidential business information of
NBTB or its affiliates or are entrusted to third parties. Such confidential
information includes but is not limited to procedures, methods, sales
relationships developed while in the service of NBTB or its affiliates,
knowledge of customers and their requirements, marketing plans, marketing
information, studies, forecasts, and surveys, competitive analyses, mailing and
marketing lists, new business proposals, lists of vendors, consultants, and
other persons who render service or provide material to NBTB or NBT Bank or
their affiliates, and compositions, ideas, plans, and methods belonging to or
related to the affairs of NBTB or NBT Bank or their affiliates. In this regard,
NBTB asserts proprietary rights in all of its business information and that of
its affiliates except for such information as is clearly in the public domain.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, information that would be generally known or
-6-
available to persons skilled in Executive's fields shall be considered to be
"clearly in the public domain" for the purposes of the preceding sentence.
Executive agrees that he will not disclose or divulge to any third party, except
as may be required by his duties hereunder, by law, regulation, or order of a
court or government authority, or as directed by NBTB, nor shall he use to the
detriment of NBTB or its affiliates or use in any business or on behalf of any
business competitive with or substantially similar to any business of NBTB or
NBT Bank or their affiliates, any confidential business information obtained
during the course of his employment by NBTB. The foregoing shall not be
construed as restricting Executive from disclosing such information to the
employees of NBTB or NBT Bank or their affiliates. On or before the Termination
Date, Executive shall promptly deliver to NBTB any and all tangible,
confidential information in his possession.
(b) Executive hereby agrees that from the Commencement Date
until the earlier of the first anniversary of the Termination Date or the date
of Executive's resignation following a "Change in Reporting," Executive will not
(i) interfere with the relationship of NBTB or NBT 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
NBTB or NBT Bank or their affiliates), or (ii) directly or indirectly divert or
attempt to divert from NBTB, NBT Bank or their affiliates any business in which
any of them has been actively engaged during the Term of Employment, nor
interfere with the relationship of NBTB, NBT Bank or their affiliates with any
of their customers or prospective customers. This paragraph 4(b) shall not, in
and of itself, prohibit Executive from engaging in the banking, trust, or
financial services business in any capacity, including that of an owner or
employee.
(c) Executive acknowledges and agrees that irreparable injury
will result to NBTB in the event of a breach of any of the provisions of this
section 4 (the "Designated Provisions") and that NBTB will have no adequate
remedy at law with respect thereto. Accordingly, in the event of a material
breach of any Designated Provision, and in addition to any other legal or
equitable remedy NBTB may have, NBTB shall be entitled to the entry of a
preliminary and permanent injunction (including, without limitation, specific
performance) by a court of competent jurisdiction in Chenango County, New York,
or elsewhere, to restrain the violation or breach thereof by Executive, and
Executive submits to the jurisdiction of such court in any such action.
(d) It is the desire and intent of the parties that the
provisions of this section 4 shall be enforced to the fullest extent permissible
under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which
enforcement is sought. Accordingly, if any particular provision of this section
4 shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be
deemed amended to delete therefrom 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 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 NBTB, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, the benefits intended by this section 4.
-7-
5. LIFE INSURANCE. In light of the unusual abilities and experience of
Executive, NBTB in its discretion may apply for and procure as owner and for its
own benefit insurance on the life of Executive, in such amount and in such form
as NBTB may choose. NBTB shall make all payments for such insurance and shall
receive all benefits from it. Executive shall have no interest whatsoever in any
such policy or policies but, at the request of NBTB, shall submit to medical
examinations and supply such information and execute such documents as may
reasonably be required by the insurance company or companies to which NBTB has
applied for insurance.
6. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.
(a) Executive represents and warrants to NBTB that his
execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement will not result in or
constitute a breach of or conflict with any term, covenant, condition, or
provision of any commitment, contract, or other agreement or instrument,
including, without limitation, any other employment agreement, to which
Executive is or has been a party.
(b) Executive shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless NBTB
for, from, and against any and all losses, claims, suits, damages, expenses, or
liabilities, including court costs and counsel fees, which NBTB has incurred or
to which NBTB may become subject, insofar as such losses, claims, suits,
damages, expenses, liabilities, costs, or fees arise out of or are based upon
any failure of any representation or warranty of Executive in section 6(a)
hereof to be true and correct when made.
7. NOTICES. All notices, consents, waivers, or other communications
which are required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and deemed to have
been duly given if delivered personally or by messenger, transmitted by telex or

8. ASSIGNMENT. Neither party may assign this Agreement or any

9. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by, construed, and
enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving
effect to the principles of conflict of law thereof. The parties hereby
designate Chenango County, New York to be the proper jurisdiction and venue for
any suit or action arising out of this Agreement. Each of the parties consents
to personal jurisdiction in such venue for such a proceeding and agrees that it
may be served with process in any action with respect to this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated thereby by certified or registered mail, return
receipt requested, or to its registered agent for service of process in the
State of New York. Each of the parties irrevocably and unconditionally waives
and agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, not to plead any objection
that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue or the convenience of
the forum of any action or claim with respect to this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated thereby brought in the courts aforesaid.
10. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement constitutes the entire
understanding among NBTB and Executive relating to the subject matter hereof.
Any previous agreements or understandings between the parties hereto or between
Executive and NBT Bank or any of its affiliates regarding the subject matter
hereof, including without limitation the terms and conditions of employment,
compensation, benefits, retirement, competition following employment, and the
like, are merged into and superseded by this Agreement. Neither this Agreement
nor any provisions hereof can be modified, changed, discharged, or terminated
except by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom any waiver,
change, discharge, or termination is sought.
-9-
11. ILLEGALITY; SEVERABILITY.
(a) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, this Agreement is not intended and shall not be construed to
require any payment to Executive which would violate any federal or state
statute or regulation, including without limitation the "golden parachute
payment regulations" of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation codified to
Part 359 of title 12, Code of Federal Regulations.
(b) If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall
be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever:
(i) the validity, legality, and enforceability
of the remaining provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation,
each portion of any section of this Agreement containing any such provision held
to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or
impaired thereby; and
(ii) to the fullest extent possible, the
provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any
section of this Agreement containing any such provisions held to be invalid,
illegal, or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent
manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable.
12. ARBITRATION. Subject to the right of each party to seek specific
performance (which right shall not be subject to arbitration), if a dispute
arises out of or related to this Agreement, or the breach thereof, such dispute
shall be referred to arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration
Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). A dispute subject to the
provisions of this section will exist if either party notifies the other party
in writing that a dispute subject to arbitration exists and states, with
reasonable specificity, the issue subject to arbitration (the "Arbitration
Notice"). The parties agree that, after the issuance of the Arbitration Notice,
the parties will try in good faith to resolve the dispute by mediation in
accordance with the Commercial Rules of Arbitration of AAA between the date of
the issuance of the Arbitration Notice and the date the dispute is set for
arbitration. If the dispute is not settled by the date set for arbitration, then
any controversy or claim arising out of this Agreement or the breach hereof
shall be resolved by binding arbitration and judgment upon any award rendered by
arbitrator(s) may be entered in a court having jurisdiction. Any person serving
as a mediator or arbitrator must have at least ten years' experience in
resolving commercial disputes through arbitration. In the event any claim or
dispute involves an amount in excess of $100,000, either party may request that
the matter be heard by a panel of three arbitrators; otherwise all matters
subject to arbitration shall be heard and resolved by a single arbitrator. The
arbitrator shall have the same power to compel the attendance of witnesses and
to order the production of documents or other materials and to enforce discovery
as could be exercised by a United States District Court judge sitting in the
Northern District of New York. In the event of any arbitration, each party shall
have a reasonable right to conduct discovery to the same extent permitted by the
Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, provided that such discovery shall be
concluded within ninety days after the date the matter is set for arbitration.
In the event of any arbitration, the arbitrator or arbitrators shall have the
-10-
power to award reasonable attorney's fees to the prevailing party. Any provision
in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, this section shall be
governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and the parties have entered into this
Agreement pursuant to such Act.
13. COSTS OF LITIGATION. In the event litigation is commenced to
enforce any of the provisions hereof, or to obtain declaratory relief in
connection with any of the provisions hereof, the prevailing party shall be
entitled to recover reasonable attorney's fees. In the event this Agreement is
asserted in any litigation as a defense to any liability, claim, demand, action,
cause of action, or right asserted in such litigation, the party prevailing on
the issue of that defense shall be entitled to recovery of reasonable attorney's
fees.
14. AFFILIATION. A company will be deemed to be "affiliated" with
NBTB or NBT Bank according to the definition of "Affiliate" set forth in Rule
12b-2 of the General Rules and Regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended.
15. HEADINGS. The section and subsection headings herein have
been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall in no way modify or
restrict any of the terms or provisions hereof.

Agreement to be executed as of the day and year first above written.
