The Company intends to issue Common Shares in a private placement (the “Offering”), and the Investor intends to purchase from the Company the number of Common Shares indicated on the signature page hereof (collectively, the “Purchased Securities”). For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Transaction Documents” refers collectively to this Agreement and any other documents, agreements and instruments delivered in connection herewith (including prior to the date hereof), in each case, as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time in accordance with their respective terms, including the Private Placement Memorandum, dated September 26, 2008, provided to the Investor (the “Memorandum”).
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, and of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein, the parties agree as follows:
 
Article I
 
Purchase; Closing
 
1.1 Purchase
 
(a) Subscription. The Investor hereby irrevocably subscribes to purchase the number of Purchased Securities indicated on the signature page hereof for a period of 30 days from the Subscription Date (as hereinafter defined), in accordance with the terms of this Subscription Agreement (the “Purchase”). To effect such subscription, the Investor shall deliver an executed counterpart of this Agreement, including all Annexes hereto, to the Company or its authorized representative.
 
(b) Payment. Together with delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement, including all Annexes hereto, the Investor shall deliver and pay in full the aggregate purchase price for the Purchased Securities specified on the signature page hereof (the “Payment”) in United States funds, to Wilmington Trust Company, the Company’s escrow agent, in the form of (1) a certified or bank cashier’s check, in immediately available funds, made payable to “Wilmington Trust Company, as Escrow Agent for Smithtown Bancorp, Inc., Account #089834-000, Attention David Young” or (2) an immediately available wire transfer to the following account: Wilmington Trust Company, ABA #031100092, Credit: Smithtown Bancorp, Inc., Escrow Account #089834-000, Attention David Young.
 

 
(c) Acceptance. This Agreement shall be effective immediately upon acceptance by the Company of the Investor’s executed counterpart of this Agreement and shall thereupon be binding upon the Company. Such acceptance by the Company shall be evidenced only by counter-execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company, and the Company shall have no obligation hereunder until the Company shall have executed and delivered to the Investor an executed counterpart of this Agreement. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Company, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to accept or reject the Purchase, in whole or in part; provided, however, that if the Company rejects the Purchase by notice to the Investor, such rejection shall serve as a termination of this Agreement, and the Investor shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement (but any other Transaction Document that expires by its terms as of a different date shall remain in full force and effect).
 
(d) Termination.

This Agreement may not be terminated by the Company unless, before the Closing occurs, the Company determines in good faith that the conditions to the Closing set forth in Section 1.2(d) will not be satisfied within 10 days of the date of the Company’s acceptance of the Investor’s subscription by counter-execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company. The Company shall deliver notice of such termination to the Investor promptly upon making such determination, and such termination shall have the effect of terminating this Agreement, effective as of the date such notice is received by the Investor in accordance with Section 5.8. Subject to the foregoing, the Company agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to consummate the Closing on the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined) or as soon as practicable thereafter.
 
 
(2)
This Agreement may not be terminated by the Investor at any time following the Investor’s delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement to the Company (even if the Company has not yet accepted or rejected the Purchase); provided, however, that, before the Closing has occurred, the Investor may withdraw its subscription by delivering notice of such withdrawal to the Company after a period of 15 days after the date (the “Subscription Date”) that is the later of (x) the first date the Investor delivers an executed counterpart of this Agreement, including all Annexes hereto, to the Company or its authorized representative and (y) the first date the Investor delivers the Payment in accordance with Section 1.1(b). Such withdrawal shall have the effect of terminating this Agreement, effective as of the date such notice is received by the Company in accordance with Section 5.8.

(3)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be terminated by either the Company or the Investor upon written notice to the other if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before October 3, 2008.

-21-


 
(2)
The Investor and each Permitted Transferee agree to, and the Company may require, as a condition to including any Registrable Securities in any Shelf Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 4.3(a) or to entering into any underwriting agreement with respect thereto, that the Company shall have received an undertaking reasonably satisfactory to it from each underwriter named in any such underwriting agreement, severally and not jointly, to (A) indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed any Shelf Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act and all other holders of Registrable Securities (each, a “Company Indemnitee”), against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which any Company Indemnitee may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such Shelf Registration Statement, or any preliminary, final or summary prospectus contained therein or furnished by the Company to the Investor or such Permitted Transferee or its agent or underwriter, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Investor, such Permitted Transferee or such agent or underwriter expressly for use therein, and (B) reimburse such Company Indemnitee for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Company Indemnitee in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action.
 
-22-


 
(3)
If the indemnification provided for in Section 4.3(g)(1) or 4.3(g)(2) is unavailable to an Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee (each, an “Indemnitee”) with respect to any losses, claims, damages, actions, liabilities, costs or expenses referred to therein or is insufficient to hold such Indemnitee harmless as contemplated therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnitee as a result of such losses, claims, damages, actions, liabilities, costs or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the Indemnitee in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages, actions, liabilities, costs or expenses (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party and Indemnitee shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such indemnifying party or by such Indemnitee, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 4.3(g)(3) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the indemnifying party or any agents or underwriters or all of them were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 4.3(g)(3). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, actions, liabilities, costs or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4.3(g)(3), neither the Investor or any Permitted Transferee nor the Company shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the dollar amount of the proceeds received by it from the sale of any Registrable Securities (after deducting any fees, discounts and commissions applicable thereto) exceeds the amount of any damages which it has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission, and no underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Registrable Securities underwritten and distributed by it exceeds the amount of any damages which such underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Investor’s, any Permitted Transferee’s, the Company’s and any underwriters’ obligations in this Section 4.3(g)(3) to contribute shall be several in proportion to the principal amount of Registrable Securities registered or underwritten, as the case may be, by or on behalf of them and not joint.

The Investor agrees (a) to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its affiliates, directors, controlling persons, agents, attorneys, accountants and employees (collectively, “Representatives”), from and against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions that the Company and/or its Representatives may incur by reason of (1) the Investor’s failure to fulfill any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement, (2) any breach of the representations and warranties made by the Investor herein or in any document provided by the Investor to the Company and/or its Representatives relating in any way to the Investor and/or the Purchase and/or (3) any disposition of the Purchased Securities contrary to the restrictions set forth in Article IV and (b) to reimburse the Company and its Representatives for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action.

5.3 Interpretation. When a reference is made in this Agreement to “Recitals,” “Articles,” “Sections” or “Annexes,” such reference shall be to a Recital, Article or Section of, or Annex to, this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The terms defined in the singular have a comparable meaning when used in the plural, and vice versa. The table of contents and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and are not part of this Agreement. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The words “contained in” shall be deemed to mean “set forth in or incorporated by reference into,” and the words “contain” and “contains” shall have corresponding meanings. No rule of construction against the draftsperson shall be applied in connection with the interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement, as this Agreement is the product of negotiation between sophisticated parties advised by counsel. All references to “$” or “dollars” mean the lawful currency of the United States of America. Except as expressly stated in this Agreement, all references to any statute, rule or regulation are to the statute, rule or regulation as amended, modified, supplemented or replaced from time to time (and, in the case of statutes, include any rules and regulations promulgated under the statute) and to any section of any statute, rule or regulation including any successor to the section. All references to the “Knowledge” of the Company mean the actual knowledge of the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer of the Company; all references to the “Knowledge” of the Investor mean the actual knowledge of the “executive officers” (as defined in Rule 3b-7 under the Exchange Act) of the Investor (or, if the Investor is a natural person, the Investor himself or herself). For the avoidance of doubt, at any time when this Agreement requires a calculation of the number or percentage of shares of Common Shares owned or controlled by a person, the number of shares of Common Shares underlying any convertible or exchangeable securities beneficially owned or controlled by such person are to be included as if such securities were fully converted in the hands of such person as of that time.
 
5.4 Amendment. No amendment of any provision of this Agreement will be effective unless made in writing and signed by an officer of a duly authorized representative of each party.
 
5.5 Waiver of Conditions. The conditions to the Company’s obligation to consummate the Purchase are for the sole benefit of the Company and may be waived by the Company in whole or in part to the extent permitted by applicable law. No waiver will be effective unless it is in a writing signed by a duly authorized officer of the Company that makes express reference to the provision or provisions subject to such waiver.
 
5.6 Counterparts and Facsimile. This Agreement may be executed in any number of separate counterparts, each such counterpart being deemed to be an original instrument, and all such counterparts will together constitute the same agreement. Executed signature pages to this Agreement may be delivered by facsimile, and such facsimiles will be deemed as sufficient as if actual signature pages had been delivered.
 
5.7 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction, Etc. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely within such State. In connection with any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to the Transaction Documents, or the validity, interpretation, breach or termination of any such Transaction Documents, including claims seeking redress or asserting rights under any law, each of the parties hereto agrees (a) to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the State or Federal courts in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, (b) that exclusive jurisdiction and venue shall lie in the State or Federal courts in the State of New York and (c) that notice may be served upon such party at the address and in the manner set forth for such party in Section 5.8.

(a) When a reference is made in this Agreement to a Subsidiary of a person, the term “Subsidiary” means those corporations, banks, savings banks, associations and other entities of which such person owns or controls more than 50% of the outstanding equity securities either directly or through an unbroken chain of entities as to each of which more than 50% of the outstanding equity securities is owned directly or indirectly by its parent.

5.11 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or a Transaction Document, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance, is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof, or the application of such provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it has been held invalid or unenforceable, will remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated thereby, so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith in an effort to agree upon a suitable and equitable substitute provision to effect the original intent of the parties.
 
5.12 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing contained in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any person or entity other than the Company and the Investor, any benefits, rights, or remedies.
