ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

    Indemnification.  The Company is a Massachusetts corporation. Massachusetts
General Laws Chapter 156B, Section 67 provides that a corporation may, subject
to certain limitations, indemnify its directors, officers, employees and other
agents, and persons who serve at its request as directors, officers, employees
or other agents of another organization, or who serve at its request in any
capacity with respect to any employee benefit plan, to the extent specified or
authorized by the corporation's articles of organization, a by-law adopted by
the stockholders, or a vote adopted by the holders of a majority of the shares
of stock entitled to vote on the election of directors.

    Section 67 also provides that a corporation may purchase and maintain
insurance against liability incurred by an officer or director in his capacity
as officer or director, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or
not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such
liability.

    The Company's By-laws provide that directors and officers of the Company
shall be reimbursed for, and indemnified by the Company against, liabilities and
expenses reasonably incurred in connection with or arising out of service for or
on behalf of the Company whether or not such person continues to be an officer
or director at the time of the incurrence of such costs and expenses. The By-
laws provide that such indemnification shall not be provided if it is finally
adjudicated that such person was derelict in his performance as a director or
officer or for any costs or expenses resulting from such person's own negligence
or willful misconduct. The By-laws provide that the indemnification provision in
the By-laws does not limit any other right to indemnification existing
independently of the By-laws.

ITEM 7. EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.

    Not applicable.

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS

    This Registration Statement on Form S-8 covers securities underlying the
stock option plan adopted by the Company in connection with the reorganization
of Cape Cod Bank and Trust Company (the "Bank") into holding company form
pursuant to a Plan of Reorganization and Acquisition dated as of October 8, 1998
between the Company and the Bank (the "Plan of Reorganization"). Pursuant to the
Plan of Reorganization, at the consummation of the reorganization, each issued
and outstanding share of the Bank's common stock, par value $2.50 per share,
automatically and without consideration was converted into and exchanged for one
share of the common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of the Company.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, as required by Item 9 of Form S-8, the Registrant
provides the following undertakings.

    (a)  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

         (1)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

              (i)   To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of
    the Securities Act of 1933;

              (ii)  To reflect in the prospectus any acts or events arising
    after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent
    post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
    represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
    Registration Statement; notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or
    decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
    securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any
    deviation from the low or high end of the estimated offering range may be
    reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to
    Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent
    no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth
    in "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective Registration
    Statement;

              (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan
    of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or
    any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) herein do not apply
if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by
those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the undersigned
Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement;

         (2)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be
a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof; and

         (3)  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of
the offering.

    (b)  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange
Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual
report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by
reference in the Registration Statement shall be

                                       3
<PAGE>
 
deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.

    (h)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.

ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.

    Not applicable.

ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.

    Not applicable.
ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

    Indemnification.  The Company is a Massachusetts corporation. Massachusetts
General Laws Chapter 156B, Section 67 provides that a corporation may, subject
to certain limitations, indemnify its directors, officers, employees and other
agents, and persons who serve at its request as directors, officers, employees
or other agents of another organization, or who serve at its request in any
capacity with respect to any employee benefit plan, to the extent specified or
authorized by the corporation's articles of organization, a by-law adopted by
the stockholders, or a vote adopted by the holders of a majority of the shares
of stock entitled to vote on the election of directors.

    Section 67 also provides that a corporation may purchase and maintain
insurance against liability incurred by an officer or director in his capacity
as officer or director, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or
not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such
liability.

    The Company's By-laws provide that directors and officers of the Company
shall be reimbursed for, and indemnified by the Company against, liabilities and
expenses reasonably incurred in connection with or arising out of service for or
on behalf of the Company whether or not such person continues to be an officer
or director at the time of the incurrence of such costs and expenses. The By-
laws provide that such indemnification shall not be provided if it is finally
adjudicated that such person was derelict in his performance as a director or
officer or for any costs or expenses resulting from such person's own negligence
or willful misconduct. The By-laws provide that the indemnification provision in
the By-laws does not limit any other right to indemnification existing
independently of the By-laws.

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS

    This Registration Statement on Form S-8 covers securities underlying the
stock option plan adopted by the Company in connection with the reorganization
of Cape Cod Bank and Trust Company (the "Bank") into holding company form
pursuant to a Plan of Reorganization and Acquisition dated as of October 8, 1998
between the Company and the Bank (the "Plan of Reorganization"). Pursuant to the
Plan of Reorganization, at the consummation of the reorganization, each issued
and outstanding share of the Bank's common stock, par value $2.50 per share,
automatically and without consideration was converted into and exchanged for one
share of the common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of the Company.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, as required by Item 9 of Form S-8, the Registrant
provides the following undertakings.

    (a)  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

         (1)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

              (i)   To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of
    the Securities Act of 1933;

              (ii)  To reflect in the prospectus any acts or events arising
    after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent
    post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
    represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
    Registration Statement; notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or
    decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
    securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any
    deviation from the low or high end of the estimated offering range may be
    reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to
    Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent
    no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth
    in "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective Registration
    Statement;

              (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan
    of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or
    any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) herein do not apply
if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by
those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the undersigned
Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement;

         (2)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be
a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof; and

         (3)  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of
the offering.

    (b)  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange
Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual
report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by
reference in the Registration Statement shall be

                                       3
deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.

    (h)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.
