         RE:      CCB Financial Corporation - Application for Listing on
                  New York Stock Exchange

Dear Ms. McGuirk:

We are counsel to CCB Financial  Corporation,  Durham,  North  Carolina  ("CCB")
whose  application  is pending  for  listing the trading of its shares of common
stock, to which certain rights are attached,  on the New York Stock Exchange. As
counsel  for  CCB we  assisted  CCB,  together  with  investment  and  financial
advisors,  in the adoption of a Rights Agreement (the "Rights  Agreement") which
provides for a plan dated  February 26, 1990 (the "Rights Plan") between CCB and
Central Carolina Bank and Trust Company. The details of the Rights Agreement and
Rights Plan are set forth in a Form 8-A previously filed with the Securities and
Exchange  Commission.  You have asked for our opinion  regarding  certain issues
under North Carolina law concerning the Rights Agreement and Rights Plan.

Based upon a review of the Rights Plan and Rights Agreement and our knowledge of
North Carolina law, we are of the opinion as follows:

         A. The Rights Agreement and Rights Plan are lawful under North Carolina
corporate law pursuant to North Carolina General Statute  55-6-24.  The Board of
Directors of CCB had the legal authority to adopt the Rights Plan and the Rights
Agreement without  shareholder  approval and in doing so was not in violation of
the business judgment rule as applied in the State of North Carolina.

         B. The Rights  Agreement  and the Rights Plan contain  "flip-over"  and
"flip-in" provisions, both of which are lawful under North Carolina law pursuant
to North Carolina General Statute 55-6-24.

         C. The Rights  Agreement  and Rights Plan  contains  provisions to void
rights of substantial  holders which is permitted  under North Carolina  General
Statute 55-6-24 with the provision that determinations by the Board of Directors
whether  to  impose,  enforce,  waive or  otherwise  render  effective  any such
restrictions  or conditions  "may be judicially  reviewed and in an  appropriate
proceeding."  To our knowledge,  no such  proceeding has occurred with regard to
any  public  corporation  incorporated  under  the  laws of the  State  of North
Carolina  and the  issue  has not  been  raised  with  regard  to CCB  since  no
"triggering  event" (as  defined in the Rights  Plan and Rights  Agreement)  has
occurred to implement the provisions of the Rights Plan and Rights Agreement.

We are members of the Bar of the State of North  Carolina and,  accordingly,  do
not purport to be expert on or to express any opinion herein  concerning any law
other than the laws of the State of North  Carolina  and the federal laws of the
United States.

                                                     Very truly yours,

                                                     MOORE & VAN ALLEN, PLLC

                                                     /s/ Anthony Gaeta, Jr.

                                                     By:  Anthony Gaeta, Jr.
