<PAGE>


         This Registration Statement on Form S-8 relates to the 600,000 shares

(the "Company") issuable pursuant to the terms of the Community Capital

                                     PART II
               INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

ITEM 3.  INCORPORATION OF DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE.

         The following documents, filed by the Registrant with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") pursuant to the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), are incorporated herein by
reference:

         (a)      The Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
                  year ended December 31, 1998, as amended;

         (b)      All other reports filed by the Registrant with the Commission
                  pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act since
                  the end of the Registrant's fiscal year ended December 31,
                  1998; and

         (c)      The description of the common stock, $1.00 par value, of the
                  Registrant contained in the Registrant's Registration
                  Statement on Form S-2 (File no. 333-18457), including any
                  amendment or report filed for the purpose of updating such
                  description.

         In addition, all documents filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections
13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act subsequent to the date of this
Registration Statement and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment to
this Registration Statement which indicates that all securities offered have
been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be
deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement and to
be a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents.

ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.

         Not applicable.

ITEM 5. INTEREST OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.

         Not applicable.

ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS.

         Except as hereinafter set forth, there is no statute, charter
provision, bylaw, contract or other arrangement under which any controlling
person, director or officer of the Registrant is insured or indemnified in any
manner against liability which such person may incur in such person's capacity
as such.

         Section 33-8-500 et seq. of the South Carolina Business Corporation Act
of 1988, as amended (the "SC Act"), provides the Registrant with broad powers
and authority to indemnify its directors and officers and to purchase and
maintain insurance for such purposes and mandates the indemnification of the
Registrant's directors under certain circumstances. The Registrant's Articles of
Incorporation and Bylaws also provide the Registrant with the power and
authority to the fullest extent legally permissible under the SC Act to
indemnify its directors and officers, persons serving at the request of the
Registrant or for its benefit as directors or officers of another corporation,
and persons serving as the Registrant's representatives or agents in certain
circumstances. The Registrant's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws mandate
indemnification of such persons in certain circumstances and set forth such
indemnification provisions as a contractual right of such persons. Pursuant to
such authority and the provisions of the Registrant's Articles of Incorporation,
the Registrant intends to purchase insurance against certain liabilities that
may be incurred by it and its officers and directors.

         Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), may be permitted to directors,
officers or persons controlling the Registrant pursuant to the arrangements
described above, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

ITEM 7. EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.

         Not applicable.

ITEM 8. EXHIBITS.

         The exhibits listed on the Exhibit Index to this Registration Statement
are incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS.

         (a)      RULE 415 OFFERINGS.  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;

                           (ii)     to reflect in the prospectus any facts or
                                    events arising after the effective date of
                                    this 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 the 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 and of the estimated
                                    maximum 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 20 percent
                                    change in the maximum aggregate offering
                                    price set forth in the "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 (i) and (ii) do
                           not apply if the Registration Statement is on Form
                           S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3 and the information
                           required to be included in a post-effective amendment
                           by those subparagraphs is contained in periodic
                           reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by
                           the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 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, 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.

                  (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)      INCORPORATION OF SUBSEQUENT EXCHANGE ACT DOCUMENTS. The
                  undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
                  determining any liability under the Securities Act, each
                  filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section
                  13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by
                  reference in the Registration Statement 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.

         (c)      INDEMNIFICATION OF MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL PERSONS. 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 provisions described
                  in Item 6, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that
                  in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is
                  against public policy as expressed in such 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.

 Community Capital Corporation
 109 Montague Avenue
 Greenwood, South Carolina 29646

         RE:      Registration Statement on Form S-8

 Gentlemen:

         This opinion is being furnished to you in connection with your filing
 with the Securities and Exchange Commission of a Registration Statement on Form
 S-8 (the "Registration Statement") relating to the Community Capital
 Corporation Stock 1997 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan") and the sale of common
 stock, $1.00 par value per share (the "Common Stock"), of Community Capital
 Corporation (the "Company") pursuant to the exercise of options granted under
 the Plan and exercised in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. In this
 connection, we have familiarized ourselves with the Articles of Incorporation
 and the Bylaws of the Company, and have examined the originals, or copies
 certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of corporate records,
 including minute books, of the Company. We have also examined the Registration
 Statement, together with the exhibits thereto, and such other certificates of
 officers, documents, and records as we have deemed necessary for the purpose of
 expressing the opinion contained herein.

         On the basis of, and in reliance upon, the foregoing, and subject to
 the assumptions and qualifications set forth herein, we are of the opinion that
 the shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the provisions of the Plan
 have been duly authorized, and when (a) the Registration Statement has become
 effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the pertinent
 provisions of any state securities laws, as may be applicable, have been
 complied with and (b) the shares of Common Stock are issued in accordance with
 the terms of the Plan as set forth in the Registration Statement, the shares of
 Common Stock so issued will be validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable.

         The opinion expressed herein is based upon applicable laws, statutes,
 ordinances, rules and regulations as existed on this date and we express no
 opinion as to the effect which any future amendments, changes, additions or
 modifications thereof may have on the opinion expressed herein. We assume no
 obligation to update or supplement our opinion to reflect any facts or
 circumstances which may hereafter come to our attention, or changes in law
 which may hereafter occur. This opinion is provided to you as a legal opinion
 only, and not as a guaranty or warranty of the matters discussed herein or of
 any transaction or obligation. We are furnishing this opinion for the sole and
 exclusive benefit of the addressee.

         We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
 Registration Statement with respect to the Plan. By giving such consent, we do
 not admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required
 under Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the rules and
 regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission issued thereunder.

                                         Very truly yours,

                                         NEXSEN PRUET JACOBS & POLLARD, LLP
