2007, by and among S&T Bancorp, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation, (“Purchaser”), and each
of the individual, natural persons identified on Schedule A hereto (individually a
“Shareholder” and collectively the “Shareholders”).
WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, IBT Bancorp, Inc., a Pennsylvania
corporation (“Seller” or the “Company”) and Purchaser have entered into an
Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) that provides for the merger (the
“Merger”) of Seller with and into Purchaser pursuant to the terms thereof;
WHEREAS, as an essential condition and inducement to Purchaser to enter into the Merger
Agreement and in consideration therefor, the Shareholders and Purchaser have agreed to enter into
this Agreement;
WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, the Shareholders are the record holders and beneficial owners
of the shares of common stock, par value $1.25 per share, of the Company (the “Shares”) set
forth on Schedule A hereto (which do not include shares held in a fiduciary capacity or options)
and desire to enter into this Agreement with respect to such Shares (for purposes of this
Agreement, “beneficial ownership” shall have the meaning given to such term in Rule 13d-3 under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)); and
WHEREAS, Purchaser desires the Shareholders to agree, and the Shareholders are willing to
agree, (i) not to transfer or otherwise dispose of any of the Shares prior to the Expiration Date
(as defined in Section 1.1 below) and (ii) to vote the Shares so as to facilitate consummation of
the Merger.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements
contained herein and in the Merger Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby,
the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1. Agreement to Retain and Vote Shares.
1.1 Transfer and Encumbrance. The Shareholders agree not to transfer (except as may
be specifically required by court order), sell, exchange, pledge or otherwise dispose of or
encumber any of the Shares or to make any offer or agreement relating thereto other than in
accordance with the Merger, at any time prior to the Expiration Date. As used herein, the term
“Expiration Date” shall mean the earlier to occur of: (a) such date and time as the Merger
shall become effective in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Merger Agreement and
(b) such date as the Merger Agreement is terminated pursuant to the terms and provisions thereof,
including, without limitation, in accordance with Section 8.01 thereof.
1.2 Agreement to Vote Shares. From the date hereof until the Expiration Date, at
every meeting of the shareholders of the Company, and at every adjournment or postponement
thereof, and on every action or approval by written consent of the shareholders of the
Company, the Shareholders shall, including by written consent if requested by Purchaser, vote (or
cause to be voted) the Shares (i) in favor of adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement, the
Merger and any matter that could reasonably be expected to facilitate the Merger and (ii) against
any amendment of the Company’s articles of incorporation or bylaws or other proposal, transaction,
agreement or acquisition proposal involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries which amendment
or other proposal or transaction would in any manner impede, frustrate, prevent or nullify, or
result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement
of the Company under or with respect to, the Merger, the Merger Agreement or any of the other
transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The Shareholders agree not to take any actions
contrary to the Shareholders’ obligations under this Agreement.
1.3 Revocation of Other Proxies. To the extent inconsistent with the other provisions
of this Agreement or the Merger Agreement, the Shareholders hereby revoke any and all previous
proxies with respect to the Shareholders’ Shares.
1.4 Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Shareholders. Each Shareholder
hereby represents, warrants and covenants to Purchaser as follows:
(a) Ownership of Shares; Authority. The Shareholder (i) is the record and beneficial
owner of the Shares, which at the date hereof and at all times up until the Expiration Date will be
free and clear of any liens, claims, options, charges or other encumbrances; (ii) has full power
and authority to make, enter into and carry out the terms of this Agreement; and (iii) is not a
party to any voting trusts, proxies or any other agreements or understandings with respect to the
voting of the Shares.
(b) No Conflicts or Consents. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the
Shareholder does not, and the performance by the Shareholder of the Shareholder’s obligations under
this Agreement will not: (i) conflict with or violate any law, rule, regulation, order, decree or
judgment applicable to the Shareholder or by which its properties are bound or affected; (ii)
result in a violation of, or a default under, or loss of any rights with respect to the Shares
under, or conflict with, any contract, trust, commitment, agreement, understanding, arrangement or
restriction of any kind to which the Shareholder is a party or by which the Shareholder may be
bound or to which the Shares are subject which would materially impair the ability of the
Shareholder to perform hereunder; or (iii) result in or constitute a breach or default under, or
give any person or entity rights of termination, amendment or acceleration in, the creation of an
encumbrance or restriction applicable to any of the Shares.
(c) Transfer of Voting Rights. The Shareholder agrees that, until the Expiration
Date, the Shareholder shall ensure that: (i) none of the Shares is deposited into a voting trust
and (ii) no proxy is granted except in connection with the Seller Meeting in favor of the Merger,
and no voting agreement or similar agreement is entered into, with respect to the Shares.
(d) No Proxy Solicitations, etc. From the date of this Agreement until the Expiration
Date, the Shareholder, solely in his or her capacity as a shareholder of the Company, will
-2-
not, and
will not permit any individual or entity under the Shareholder’s control to: (i) solicit proxies
with respect to (A) an approval of any proposal made in opposition to or competition with
consummation of the Merger, (B) the adoption of any merger agreement or approval of any
merger, consolidation, sale of assets, reorganization or recapitalization with any party other than
with Purchaser or Purchaser’s affiliates (as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended) or (C) any liquidation or winding up of the Company (each of the foregoing is hereinafter
referred to as an “Opposing Proposal”); (ii) encourage or assist any party in taking or
planning any action that would compete with, restrain or otherwise serve to interfere with or
inhibit the timely consummation of the Merger in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement,
including, without limitation, encouraging, facilitating or participating in any tender offer or
exchange with respect to the Shares; or (iii) initiate a shareholders’ vote or action by consent of
the Company shareholders with respect to an Opposing Proposal.
(e) Shareholder Capacity. The Shareholder signs solely in his, her or its capacity as
the record and beneficial owner of, or the trustee of a trust whose beneficiaries are the
beneficial owners of, the Shareholder’s Shares, and not in his, her or its capacity as a director
or officer of Seller. No provision of this Agreement is intended to or shall be interpreted as
restricting the Shareholder’s actions in his or her capacity as a director or officer of Seller.
(f) Additional Covenants and Documents. The Shareholder hereby covenants and agrees
(i) not to take any action prohibited by Section 4.01 of the Merger Agreement, and (ii) to execute
and deliver any additional documents necessary or desirable, in the reasonable opinion of
Purchaser, to carry out the intent of this Section 1.

Purchaser shall have the right to enforce such covenants and agreements by specific performance,
injunctive relief or by any other means available to Purchaser at law or in equity. Each
