Item 4. Description of Securities.

Item 5. Interests of Names Experts and Counsel

Not applicable.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Limitation of Director Liability.As permitted by the Vermont Business Corporation Act, codified in Title 11A of the Vermont Statutes Annotated (the “VBCA”), Article Ten of the Amended and Restated Articles of Association (the “Articles”) of Community Bancorp. (the “Company”) provides that the Directors will not have any personal liability to the Company or its shareholders for money damages for any act or omission based on a failure to discharge his or her statutory duties as a director, except for (1) the amount of any financial gain to which he or she was not entitled; (2) an intentional reckless infliction of harm on the Company or its shareholders, or (3) an intentional or reckless criminal act. Any future amendment or repeal of the liability limiting provision would apply prospectively only and not to any act or omission occurring before the effective date of such amendment or repeal.

Indemnification.Sections 8.50 through 8.58 of the VBCA contain provisions governing the indemnification of corporate directors and officers. In general, the statute permits a corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party to or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation), by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or entity, against expenses (including attorney's fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. With respect to any criminal action or proceeding, the indemnified individual must have had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. With respect to actions or suits by or in the right of the corporation, such indemnification is limited to expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit. Indemnification is not permitted with respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person has been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought determines upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses that the court deems proper. Additionally, a corporation is required to indemnify any director or officer against reasonable expenses if he or she was wholly successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of the action, suit or proceeding.

Indemnification may be made by a corporation only upon a determination made in the manner prescribed by the statute that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because the party seeking indemnification has met the applicable standard of conduct as set forth in the VBCA. That statutory indemnification is not deemed to be exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise. A corporation also has the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person covering any liability incurred by such person in his capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability. The indemnification provided by the VBCA, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continues as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and inures to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

Article Nine of the Company's Amended and Restated Articles of Association authorizes the Board of Directors to adopt such Bylaws or other arrangements (including contracts) for indemnification of officers, directors and others as they deem advisable, to the extent not inconsistent with applicable law. The Board of Directors has adopted an implementing Bylaw (Article Eight) pursuant to that authority, which incorporates the standards and limitations of Section 8.50 through 8.58 of the VBCA described above.

Insurance.As permitted under Section 8.58 of the VBCA, the Company has purchased Directors and Officers liability insurance.

Item 9. Undertakings

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 facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereto) 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 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% 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; and provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a) (1)(iii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment to this registration statement on Form S-8 by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of 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.

(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.

(4) That, for the 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 Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 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.

(5) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 8 above 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.

Re: Issuance of Common Stock under Registration Statement on Form S-8

We refer to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) filed by Community Bancorp., a Vermont corporation (the “Company”), with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on or about the date hereof, relating to the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), of 500,000 shares of common stock of the Company, $2.50 par value per share (the “Shares”), which may be offered and sold from time to time through the Company stock fund under the Company’s Retirement Savings Plan (the “Plan”).

We have examined such documents and have reviewed such questions of law as we have considered necessary and appropriate for the purposes of our opinion set forth below. In rendering such opinion, we have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the genuineness of all signatures, the conformity to authentic originals of all documents submitted to us as copies and the legal capacity of all natural persons. As to questions of fact material to our opinion, with your permission we have relied upon certificates of officers of the Company and of public officials.

Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that, to the extent the Shares offered and sold pursuant to the Plan constitute newly-issued shares of the Company’s common stock, such Shares have been duly authorized and, upon issuance, delivery and payment therefor in accordance with the terms of the Plan, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

The foregoing opinion is limited to the federal laws of the United States and the laws of the State of Vermont.  We express no opinion as to the effect of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

We hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do not hereby concede that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act, or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

Very truly yours,

/S/ Primmer Piper Eggleston & Cramer PC
