Ladies and Gentlemen:

Cape Bancorp, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), and Cape Savings Bank, a New Jersey chartered savings bank (the “Bank”), hereby confirm joint and severally their agreement with Stifel, Nicolas & Company, Incorporated (the “Agent”), as follows:

Section 1. The Offering. On July 26, 2007, the Board of Directors of the Bank adopted a Plan of Conversion (the “Plan”) pursuant to which the Bank will convert from a New Jersey-chartered mutual savings bank to a New Jersey-chartered stock savings bank (the “Conversion”) in accordance with applicable federal law, New Jersey law and the applicable rules and regulations of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) and the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance (the “Department of Banking”). In connection with the Conversion, the Company, a newly formed Maryland corporation, will offer shares of the Company’s stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) in (i) a subscription offering (the “Subscription Offering”) and, if necessary, (ii) a direct community offering (the “Community Offering”) and, if necessary (iii) a syndicated community offering (the “Syndicated Community Offering” and, together with the Subscription Offering and the Community Offering, the “Offering”). The shares of Common Stock to be sold by the Company in the Offering are hereinafter called the “Shares” or “Conversion Shares.” In addition, as described herein, the Company will contribute up to $1.2 million in cash and 851,690 shares of Common Stock to The CapeBank Charitable Foundation, a charitable foundation (the “Foundation”), such shares hereinafter being referred to as the “Foundation Shares.” The Company, the Bank and their subsidiaries are sometimes referred to as the “Cape Parties” herein.

In the Subscription Offering, non-transferable rights to subscribe for between 7,820,000 and 10,580,000 shares (subject to an increase up to 12,167,000 shares) of Common Stock will be granted (the “Subscription Rights”), in the following order of priority: (1) the Bank’s depositors with account balances of at least $50.00 as of the close of business on June 30, 2006 (“Eligible Account Holders”); (2) the Bank’s tax-qualified employee benefit plans; (3) the Bank’s

depositors with account balances of at least $50.00 as of the close of business on September 30, 2007 (“Supplemental Eligible Account Holders”); and (4) the Bank’s depositors as of , 2007 (the “Other Member Record Date”) who were not able to subscribe for Shares under categories (1) or (3). The Company may offer shares of Common Stock for which subscriptions have not been received in the Subscription Offering in the Community Offering, with preference given (i) first to natural persons residing in Atlantic or Cape May Counties, New Jersey, (ii) then to shareholders of Boardwalk Bancorp, Inc. (“Boardwalk Bancorp”) as of the record date of the Boardwalk Bancorp shareholders’ meeting to vote on the proposed acquisition of Boardwalk Bancorp by the Company, and (iii) then to the general public. In the event a Community Offering is held, it may be held at any time during or immediately after the Subscription Offering. Depending on market conditions, shares not subscribed for in the Subscription Offering or purchased in the Community Offering may be offered in the Syndicated Community Offering to selected members of the general public through a syndicate of registered broker-dealers managed by the Agent which are members of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.

It is acknowledged that the number of Shares to be sold in the Offering may be increased or decreased as described in the Prospectus (as hereinafter defined); that the purchase of Shares in the Offering is subject to maximum and minimum purchase limitations as described in the Prospectus; and that the Company may reject, in whole or in part, any subscription received in the Community Offering and Syndicated Community Offering.

Simultaneously with or immediately following the completion of the Offering, the Company will acquire Boardwalk Bancorp, a New Jersey corporation, in a merger transaction (the “Merger”) pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (together with the exhibits and schedules thereto, the “Merger Agreement”) dated as of July 26, 2007. Boardwalk Bancorp is the holding company for Boardwalk Bank, a New Jersey chartered commercial bank (“Boardwalk Bank”). The Merger will be accomplished in accordance with the laws of the United States and the laws of the State of New Jersey and the applicable regulations of the FDIC, the Department of Banking and the Federal Reserve Board of Philadelphia (the “FRB”), which laws and regulations are collectively referred to as the “Merger Regulations,” and together with the FDIC, Department of Banking and Office of Thrift Supervision (the “OTS”) regulations governing the Offering, the “Conversion Regulations.” Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, upon consummation of the Merger, each outstanding share of Boardwalk Bancorp common stock (the “Boardwalk Common Stock”) will be converted into the right to receive, subject to the election and proration procedures outlined in the Merger Agreement, $23.00 in (i) cash without interest, (ii) shares of Company Common Stock, or (iii) a combination of cash and shares of Company Common Stock (the Company Common Stock to be issued in exchange for Boardwalk Common Stock being referred to herein as the “Merger Shares”). In particular, subject to adjustment, the maximum number of Boardwalk Bancorp shares converted into the right to receive cash consideration will be 50% of the total outstanding shares of Boardwalk Common Stock and the maximum number of Boardwalk Bancorp shares converted into the right to receive stock consideration will be 50% of the total outstanding shares of Boardwalk Common Stock. Immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding option to purchase Boardwalk Common Stock will be canceled and exchange for a cash payment from the Company equal to the excess of the $23.00 merger consideration over the exercise price per share of each option.

Although the Offering and the Merger are separate and distinct transactions, the Merger will not occur unless the Offering is completed; however, the Offering will proceed whether or not the Merger occurs. The Offering and the Merger are collectively referred to herein as the “Reorganization.” The Reorganization will not be consummated until all conditions to the consummation of both the Offering and the Merger have been satisfied or waived. In the event the Merger Agreement is terminated, the Offering will be consummated, subject to receipt of necessary regulatory and member approvals. Boardwalk Bancorp, Boardwalk Bank and their subsidiaries are sometimes referred to as the “Boardwalk Parties” herein.

The Company has filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-146178) in order to register the Shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and has filed such amendments thereto as have been required to the date hereof (the “Registration Statement”). The prospectus, as amended, included in the Registration Statement at the time it initially became effective is hereinafter called the “Prospectus,” except that if any prospectus is filed by the Company pursuant to Rule 424(b) or (c) of the regulations of the Commission under the Securities Act differing from the prospectus included in the Registration Statement at the time it initially becomes effective, the term “Prospectus” shall refer to the prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) or (c) from and after the time said prospectus is filed with the Commission and shall include any supplements and amendments thereto from and after their dates of effectiveness or use, respectively.

The Registration Statement also contains a proxy statement/prospectus to be used to solicit proxies of Boardwalk Bancorp stockholders with respect to the approval of the Merger and the issuance of the Merger Shares. The proxy statement/prospectus, as amended, on file with the Commission at the time the Registration Statement became effective is hereinafter called the “Proxy Statement/Prospectus,” except that if any proxy statement/prospectus is filed by the Company pursuant to Rule 424(b) or (c) of the regulations of the Commission under the Securities Act differing from the proxy statement/prospectus included in the Registration Statement at the time it initially becomes effective, the term “Proxy Statement/Prospectus” shall refer to the proxy statement/prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) or (c) from and after the time said proxy statement/prospectus is filed with the Commission and shall include any supplements and amendments thereto from and after their dates of effectiveness or use, respectively.

The following applications have been filed in connection with the Conversion: (i) an Application on Form H-(e)1 (the “Holding Company Application”) for Election Under Section 10(l) of the Home Owners’ Loan Act (the “HOLA”) has been filed with the OTS; (ii) a Notice of Intent to Convert to Stock Form (the “FDIC Conversion Notice”) has been filed with the FDIC; and (iii) an application to convert to stock form (the “New Jersey Conversion Application”) has been filed with the Department of Banking.

The following applications have been filed in connection with the Merger: (i) a letter application (the “New Jersey Merger Application”) has been filed with the Department of Banking; (ii) an Interagency Bank Merger Act Application (the “FDIC BMA Application”) has been filed with the FDIC; and (iii) a Notice of Acquisition of Boardwalk Bancorp and Boardwalk Bank (the “FRB Merger Notice”) has been filed with the FRB. The New Jersey Merger Application, the FDIC BMA Application and the FRB Merger Notice are referred to herein as the “Merger Applications” and, together with the Conversion Applications, the “Reorganization Applications.”

Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Company is delivering to the Agent copies of the Prospectus, dated November , 2007, to be used in the Subscription Offering and Community Offering (if any) and, if necessary, will deliver copies of the Prospectus and any prospectus supplement for use in the Syndicated Community Offering and/or Public Offering, as defined in the Prospectus. Such Prospectus contains information with respect to the Bank, the Company, Boardwalk Bancorp, Boardwalk Bank, the Foundation, the Common Stock, the Offering and the Merger.

Section 2. Appointment of Agent. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Cape Parties hereby appoint the Agent as their financial advisor and marketing agent to utilize its best efforts to solicit subscriptions for the Shares and to advise and assist the Cape Parties with respect to the sale of the Shares in the Offering.

On the basis of the representations and warranties of the Cape Parties contained in, and subject to the terms and conditions of, this Agreement, the Agent accepts such appointment and agrees to consult with and advise the Cape Parties as to the matters set forth in the letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”), dated July 19, 2007, between the Company, the Bank and the Agent (a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A). It is acknowledged by the Cape Parties that the Agent shall not be obligated to purchase any Shares and shall not be obligated to take any action which is inconsistent with any applicable law, regulation, decision or order. Except as set forth in the last paragraph of this Section 2 and Section 13 hereof, the appointment of the Agent to provide services hereunder shall terminate upon consummation of the Offering.

If selected broker-dealers are used to assist in the sale of Shares in the Syndicated Community Offering, the Cape Parties hereby, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, appoint the Agent to manage such broker-dealers in the Syndicated Community Offering. On the basis of the representations and warranties of the Cape Parties contained in, and subject to the terms and conditions of, this Agreement, the Agent accepts such appointment and agrees to manage the selling group of broker-dealers in the Syndicated Community Offering.

The Agent agrees to make available to the Company for a period of three (3) years following the consummation of the Offering its Strategic Advisory Services (“STARS”) program. If the Bank elects to participate in the STARS program, the Agent will meet with the Bank at its request and will render general advice on the financial matters listed in Section 9 of

the Letter Agreement (but not including (i) any in-depth merger and acquisition analyses or studies which are available under the Agent’s normal fee schedule, or (ii) advice with respect to a specific acquisition transaction by, or sale of, the Bank or the Company). If the Company elects to participate in the STARS program, the Agent will waive the regular retainer fee and hourly charges for the first five-year period. The Company would be required, however, to reimburse the Agent for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in conjunction with the performance of these services. Such out-of-pocket expenses include travel, legal and other miscellaneous expenses. The Agent would not be permitted to incur any single expense in excess of $1,000 pursuant to this paragraph without the prior approval of the Company. If negotiations for a transaction conducted during the five-year period result in the execution of a definitive agreement and/or consummation of a transaction for which the Agent customarily would be entitled to a fee for its advisory or other investment banking services, the Agent shall receive a contingent advisory fee in accordance with the terms of a separate engagement letter to be entered into with respect to such transaction. Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Company to obtain such financial advisory services from the Agent. After the completion of such three-year period, if the parties wish to continue the relationship, a fee will be negotiated and an agreement with respect to specific advisory services will be entered into at that time.

Section 3. Refund of Purchase Price. In the event that the Reorganization is not consummated for any reason, including but not limited to the inability to sell a minimum of 7,820,000 Shares during the Offering (including any permitted extension thereof) or such other minimum number of Shares as shall be established consistent with the Plan and the Conversion Regulations, this Agreement shall be terminated and any persons who have subscribed for or ordered any of the Shares shall have refunded to them the full amount which has been received from such person, together with interest, if applicable, as provided in the Prospectus. Upon termination of this Agreement, neither the Agent nor the Cape Parties shall have any obligation to the other except that (i) the Cape Parties shall remain liable for any amounts due pursuant to Sections 4, 9, 11 and 12 hereof, unless the transaction is not consummated due to the breach by the Agent of a warranty, representation or covenant; and (ii) the Agent shall remain liable for any amount due pursuant to Sections 11 and 12 hereof, unless the transaction is not consummated due to the breach by the Cape Parties of a warranty, representation or covenant.

Section 4. Fees. In addition to the expenses specified in Section 9 hereof, as compensation for the Agent’s services under this Agreement, the Agent has received or will receive the following fees from the Cape Parties:

(a) A conversion and proxy vote advisory and administrative services fee of $100,000, paid as follows: (i) $50,000 was paid upon the execution of the Letter Agreement, and (ii) $50,000 was paid upon the initial filing of the Registration Statement.

(b) A success fee for sales of the Shares in the Subscription Offering and Community Offering of one percent (1.0%) of the dollar amount of the Shares sold in the Subscription Offering and Community Offering, excluding (i) additional Shares sold pursuant to Section 4(c) below, (ii) Shares purchased by the Bank’s officers, directors or employees (or members of their immediate families), and (iii) Shares purchased by any tax-qualified or non-qualified employee benefit plans of the Bank or the officers, directors or employees (or their

immediate families), which shall be paid at the Closing Time (as defined in Section 5). For purposes of this Agreement, “immediate family” includes an officer’s, director’s or employee’s spouse, siblings, parents and children who live in the same house with the officer, director or employee.

(c) If any of the Shares remain unsubscribed for after the Subscription Offering and Community Offering, at the request of the Company, the Agent will form a group of approved broker-dealer firms (the “Assisting Brokers”) in accordance with Section 2 for purposes of the Syndicated Community Offering. The fees payable by the Company pursuant to this Section 4(c) will not exceed six percent (6.0%) of the aggregate dollar amount of the Shares sold in the Syndicated Community Offering. Of such fee, the Agent will receive one percent (1.0%) of the aggregate dollar amount of the Shares sold pursuant to this Section 4(c) as a management fee, and the Cape Parties will pay the remainder to the Assisting Brokers, which may include the Agent, in amounts relating to the number of Shares sold by such Assisting Brokers pursuant to this Section 4(c). All such fees payable under this Section 4(c) shall be in addition to all fees payable under Section 4(a) and 4(b) and shall be paid at the Closing Time (as defined in Section 5). A sample Assisting Brokers Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit B.

In the event that the Company is required to resolicit subscribers for Shares in the Subscription Offering and Community Offering and the Agent is required to provide significant additional services in connection with such a resolicitation, the Cape Parties and the Agent shall mutually agree to the dollar amount of additional compensation due to the Agent, if any. Until any agreement called for by this paragraph is reached, the Agent shall not incur any expenses relating to any resolicitation in an amount that would cause the total expenses incurred by the Agent that are reimbursable by the Company or the Bank pursuant to Section 9 hereof to be greater than those permitted without the prior written consent of the Company or the Bank, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

If this Agreement is terminated in accordance with the provisions of Section 3, 10 or 14 hereof and the sale of the Shares is not consummated, the Agent shall not be entitled to receive the fees set forth in Sections 4(b)-(c), but the Agent will be entitled to retain the conversion and proxy vote advisory and administrative services fee of $100,000 and the Cape Parties will reimburse the Agent for its reasonable expenses pursuant to Section 9 hereof.

Section 5. Closing. If the minimum number of Shares required to be sold in the Offering on the basis of the most recently updated Appraisal (as defined in Section 6(o)) are subscribed for at or before the termination date of the Offering (which may be extended), and the other conditions (including those in Section 10) to the completion of the Reorganization are satisfied, the Company agrees to issue the Shares, the Foundation Shares and the Merger Shares at the Closing Time (as hereinafter defined) against payment therefore by the means authorized by the Plan and to deliver certificates evidencing ownership of the Shares, the Foundation Shares and the Merger Shares in such authorized denominations and registrations directly to the purchasers thereof or as instructed as promptly as possible after the Closing Time. The closing (the “Closing”) shall be held at the offices of special counsel to the Cape Parties, or at such other place as shall be agreed upon among the Cape Parties and the Agent, at : .m., Eastern Standard Time, on the business day selected by the Cape Parties, which business day shall be no

less than two business days following the giving of prior notice by the Company to the Agent or at such other time as shall be agreed upon by the Cape Parties and the Agent. At the Closing, the Cape Parties shall deliver to the Agent by wire transfer in same-day funds the commissions, fees, and expenses owing to the Agent as set forth in Sections 4 and 9 hereof and the opinions required hereby and other documents deemed reasonably necessary for the Agent shall be executed and delivered to effect the sale of the Shares as contemplated hereby and pursuant to the terms of the Prospectus. The Company shall notify the Agent when funds shall have been received for the minimum number of shares of the Common Stock. The hour and date upon which the Company shall release the Shares for delivery in accordance with the terms hereof is referred to herein as the “Closing Time.”

Section 6. Representations and Warranties of the Cape Parties. The Cape Parties jointly and severally represent and warrant to the Agent that, except as disclosed in the Prospectus:

(b) The Plan has been approved by the Department of Banking and the FDIC.

(b) The Agent agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Cape Parties, their directors and officers, agents, servants and employees and each person, if any, who controls any of the Cape Parties within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage or expense whatsoever (including but not limited to settlement expenses, subject to the limitation set forth in the last sentence of paragraph (c) below), joint or several, which they, or any of them, may suffer or to which they, or any of them, may become subject under all applicable federal and state laws or otherwise, and to promptly reimburse the Cape Parties and any such persons upon written demand for any reasonable expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by them in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any actions, proceedings or claims (whether commenced or threatened) to the extent such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto), any Issuer-Represented Free Writing Prospectus, the Applications or any Blue Sky Applications or Sales Information or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in any of the foregoing documents a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the Agent’s obligations under this Section 11(b) shall exist only if and only to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement was made in, or such material fact or alleged material fact was omitted from, the Applications, Registration Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto), the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), any Blue Sky Applications or Sales Information in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Cape Parties by the Agent or its representatives (including counsel) expressly for use under the captions “Market for Common Stock of Cape Bancorp” and “The Conversion and Stock Offering – Marketing and Distribution; Compensation.”

(c) Each indemnified party shall give prompt written notice to each indemnifying party of any action, proceeding, claim (whether commenced or threatened), or suit instituted against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have on account of this Section 11, Section 12 or otherwise. An indemnifying party may participate at its own expense in the defense of such action. In addition, if it so elects within a reasonable time after

receipt of such notice, an indemnifying party, jointly with any other indemnifying parties receiving such notice, may assume the defense of such action with counsel chosen by it reasonably acceptable to the indemnified parties that are defendants in such action, unless such indemnified parties reasonably object to such assumption on the ground that there may be legal defenses available to them that are different from or in addition to those available to such indemnifying party.

In no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (unless an indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded that there may be defenses available to it or them which are different from or in addition to those of other indemnified parties) for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action, proceeding or claim or separate but similar or related actions, proceedings or claims in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. The Cape Parties shall be liable for any settlement of any claim against the Agent (or its directors, officers, employees, affiliates or controlling persons), made with the consent of the Cape Parties, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Cape Parties shall not, without the written consent of the Agent, settle or compromise any claim against them based upon circumstances giving rise to an indemnification claim against the Cape Parties hereunder unless such settlement or compromise provides that the Agent and the other indemnified parties shall be unconditionally and irrevocably released from all liability in respect of such claim.

(d) The agreements contained in this Section 11 and in Section 12 hereof and the representations and warranties of the Cape Parties set forth in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Agent or its officers, directors, controlling persons, agents, attorneys, servants or employees or by or on behalf of any of the Cape Parties or any officers, directors, controlling persons, agents, attorneys , servants or employees of any of the Cape Parties; (ii) delivery of and payment hereunder for the Shares; or (iii) any termination of this Agreement. To the extent required by law, Sections 11 and 12 hereof are subject to and limited by Section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act.

Section 12. Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in Section 11 is due in accordance with its terms but is found in a final judgment by a court to be unavailable from the Cape Parties or the Agent, the Cape Parties and the Agent shall contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities of the nature contemplated by such indemnification in such proportion so that (i) the Agent is responsible for that portion represented by the percentage that the fees paid to the Agent pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement (not including expenses) (the “Agent’s Fees”), less any portion of Agent’s Fees paid by Agent to Assisting Brokers, bear to the total proceeds received by the Cape Parties from the sale of the Shares in the Offering, net of all expenses of the Offering, except Agent’s Fees and (ii) the Cape Parties shall be responsible for the balance. If, however, the allocation provided above is not permitted by applicable law or if the indemnified party failed to give the notice required under Section 11 above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable to such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative fault of the Cape Parties on the one hand and the Agent on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which

resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions, proceedings or claims in respect thereof), but also the relative benefits received by the Cape Parties on the one hand and the Agent on the other from the Offering, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Cape Parties on the one hand and the Agent on the other hand shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total proceeds from the Offering, net of all expenses of the Offering except Agent’s Fees, received by the Cape Parties bear, with respect to the Agent, to the total fees (not including expenses) received by the Agent less the portion of such fees paid by the Agent to Assisting Brokers. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Cape Parties on the one hand or the Agent on the other and the parties relative intent, good faith, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Cape Parties and the Agent agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 12 were determined by pro-rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 12. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or action, proceedings or claims in respect thereof) referred to above in this Section 12 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action, proceeding or claim. It is expressly agreed that the Agent shall not be liable for any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense or be required to contribute any amount which in the aggregate exceeds the amount paid (excluding reimbursable expenses) to the Agent under this Agreement less the portion of such fees paid by the Agent to Assisting Brokers. It is understood and agreed that the above-stated limitation on the Agent’s liability is essential to the Agent and that the Agent would not have entered into this Agreement if such limitation had not been agreed to by the parties to this Agreement. No person found guilty of any fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution with respect to any loss or liability arising from such misrepresentation from any person who was not found guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 12, each of the Agent’s and the Cape Parties’ officers and directors and each person, if any, who controls the Agent or any of the Cape Parties within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Cape and the Agent. Any party entitled to contribution, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action, suit, claim or proceeding against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made against another party under this Section 12, will notify such party from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission to so notify such party shall not relieve the party from whom contribution may be sought from any other obligation it may have hereunder or otherwise than under this Section 12.

Section 13. Survival. All representations, warranties and indemnities and other statements contained in this Agreement (and in Paragraph 11 of the Letter Agreement) or contained in certificates of officers of the Cape Parties or the Agent submitted pursuant hereto, shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any termination or cancellation of this Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Agent or its controlling persons, or by or on behalf of the Cape Parties and shall survive the issuance of the Shares, and any legal representative, successor or assign of the Agent, any of the Cape Parties, and any indemnified person shall be entitled to the benefit of the respective agreements, indemnities, warranties and representations.

Section 14. Termination. Agent may terminate this Agreement by giving the notice indicated below in this Section at any time after this Agreement becomes effective as follows:

(a) In the event (i) the Plan is abandoned or terminated by the Bank or the Company; (ii) the Company fails to consummate the sale of the minimum number of Shares prior to December 31, 2008 in accordance with the provisions of the Plan or as required by the Conversion Regulations and applicable law; (iii) the Agent terminates this relationship because there has been a material adverse change in the financial condition or operations of the Cape Parties considered as one enterprise since the date of the latest audited financial statements included in the Prospectus; or (iv) immediately prior to commencement of the Offering, the Agent terminates this relationship because in its opinion, which shall have been formed in good faith after reasonable determination and consideration of all relevant factors, there has been a failure to satisfactorily disclose all relevant information in the Prospectus or the existence of market conditions which might render the sale of the Shares inadvisable, this Agreement shall terminate and no party to this Agreement shall have any obligation to the other hereunder except as set forth in Sections 3, 4, 9, 11 and 12 hereof.

(b) If any of the conditions specified in Section 10 hereof shall not have been fulfilled when and as required by this Agreement, or by the Closing Time, or waived in writing by the Agent, this Agreement and all of the Agent’s obligations hereunder may be canceled by the Agent by notifying the Bank of such cancellation in writing at any time at or prior to the Closing Time, and any such cancellation shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as otherwise provided in Sections 3, 4, 9, 11 and 12 hereof.

(c) If Agent elects to terminate this Agreement as provided in this Section, the Cape Parties shall be notified by the Agent as provided in Section 15 hereof.

(d) If this Agreement is terminated in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Agent shall retain the conversion and proxy vote advisory and administrative services fee earned and paid to it pursuant to Section 4 and the Cape Parties shall reimburse the Agent for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses pursuant to Section 9.

Section 15. Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if mailed or transmitted by any standard form of telecommunication.

Section 16. Parties. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Agent and the Cape Parties, and their respective successors. Nothing expressed or mentioned

in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any person, firm or corporation, other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and the controlling persons and officers and directors referred to in Sections 11 and 12 and their heirs and legal representatives, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provisions herein contained. It is understood and agreed that this Agreement is the exclusive agreement among the parties, supersedes any prior Agreement among the parties and may not be varied except by a writing signed by all parties, except for Paragraph 11 of the Letter Agreement, which is not hereby superseded.

Section 17. Partial Invalidity. In the event that any term, provision or covenant herein or the application thereof to any circumstance or situation shall be invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remainder hereof and the application of said term, provision or covenant to any other circumstance or situation shall not be affected thereby, and each term, provision or covenant herein shall be valid and enforceable to the full extent permitted by law.

ASSISTING BROKERS AGREEMENT

, 2007

Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated

18 Columbia Turnpike

Florham Park, New Jersey 07932

Gentlemen:

(1) General. We understand that Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated (“Stifel”) is entering into this Agreement with us and other firms who may be offered the right to purchase as principal a portion of securities being distributed to the public. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be applicable to any public offering of securities (“Securities”) pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) or exempt from registration thereunder (other than a public offering of Securities effected wholly outside the United States of America), wherein Stifel (acting for its own account or for the account of any underwriting or similar group or syndicate) is responsible for managing or otherwise implementing the sale of the Securities to selected dealers (“Selected Dealers”) and has informed us that such terms and conditions shall be applicable. Any such offering of Securities to us as a Selected Dealer is hereinafter called an “Offering.” In the case of any Offering in which you are acting for the account of any underwriting or similar group or syndicate (“Underwriters”), the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be for the benefit of, and binding upon, such Underwriters, including, in the case of any Offering in which you are acting with others as representatives of Underwriters, such other representatives. The term “preliminary prospectus” means any preliminary prospectus relating to an Offering of Securities or any preliminary prospectus supplement together with a prospectus relating to an Offering of Securities; the term “Prospectus” means the prospectus, together with the final prospectus supplement, if any, relating to an Offering of Securities, filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) or Rule 424(c) under the Securities Act or any successor or similar rules.

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with regard to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior oral or written agreements or understanding between the parties hereto or their predecessors with respect to the subject matter hereof.

(2) Conditions of Offering, Acceptance and Purchase. Any Offering will be subject to delivery of the Securities and their acceptance by you and any other Underwriters, may be subject to the approval of all legal matters by counsel and the satisfaction of other conditions, and may be made on the basis of reservation of Securities or an allotment against subscription. You will advise us by telegram, telex, facsimile, e-mail, or other form of written communication (“Written Communication”) of the particular method and supplementary terms and conditions (including, without limitation, the information as to prices and offering date referred to in Section 3(c)) of any Offering in which we are invited to participate. To the extent such

B-1

supplementary terms and conditions are inconsistent with any provision herein, such terms and conditions shall supersede any such provision. Unless otherwise indicated in any such Written Communication, acceptances and other communications by us with respect to any Offering should be sent to Stifel. You may close the subscription books at any time in your sole discretion without notice, and you reserve the right to reject any acceptance in whole or in part. Payment for Securities purchased by us is to be made at such office as you may designate, at the public offering price, or, if you shall so advise us, at such price less the concession to dealers or at the price set forth or indicated in a Written Communication, on such date as you shall determine, on one day’s prior notice to us, by wire transfer to a Stifel account, against delivery of certificates or other forms evidencing such Securities. If payment is made for Securities purchased by us at the public offering price, the concession to which we shall be entitled will be paid to us upon termination of the provisions of Section 3(c) with respect to such Securities.

Unless we promptly give you written instructions otherwise, if transactions in the Securities may be settled through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company, delivery of Securities purchased by us will be made through such facilities if we are a member, or if we are not a member, settlement may be made through our ordinary correspondent who is a member.

(3) Representations, Warranties, and Agreements.

(a) Registered Offering. In the case of any Offering of Securities that are registered under the Securities Act (“Registered Offering”), you shall provide us with such number of copies of each preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus and any supplement thereto relating to each Registered Offering as we may reasonably request for the purposes contemplated by the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and the applicable Rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder. We represent that we are familiar with Rule 15c2-8 under the Exchange Act relating to the distribution of preliminary and final prospectuses and agree that we will comply therewith. We agree to keep an accurate record of our distribution (including dates, number of copies, and persons to whom sent) of copies of the Prospectus or any preliminary prospectus (or any amendment or supplement to any thereof), and promptly upon request by you, to bring all subsequent changes to the attention of anyone to whom such material shall have been furnished. We agree to furnish to persons who receive a confirmation of sale a copy of the Prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) or Rule 424(c) under the Securities Act. We agree that in purchasing Securities in a Registered Offering we will rely upon no statements whatsoever, written or oral, other than the statements in the Prospectus delivered to us by you. We will not be authorized by the issuer or other seller of Securities offered pursuant to a Prospectus or by any Underwriter to give any information or to make any representation not contained in the Prospectus in connection with the sale of such Securities. We will not use any free writing prospectus, unless consented to by you or authorized expressly in writing to you by the issuer in the Registered Offering.

(b) Offering Pursuant to Offering Circular. In the case of any Offering of Securities, other than a Registered Offering, which is made pursuant to an offering circular or other document comparable to a prospectus in a Registered Offering, including, without limitation, an Offering of “exempted securities” as defined in Section 3(a)(2) of the Securities Act (an “Exempted Securities Offering”), you shall provide us with such number of copies of each preliminary offering circular, the final offering circular and any supplement thereto relating to

B-2

each Offering as we may reasonably request. We agree that we will comply with the applicable federal and state laws, and the applicable rules and regulations of any regulatory body promulgated thereunder, governing the use and distribution of offering circulars by brokers or dealers. We agree that in purchasing Securities pursuant to an offering circular we will rely upon no statements whatsoever, written or oral, other than the statements in the final offering circular delivered to us by you. We will not be authorized by the issuer or other seller of Securities offered pursuant to an offering circular or by any Underwriter to give any information or to make any representation not contained in the offering circular in connection with the sale of such Securities.

(c) Offer and Sale to the Public. With respect to any Offering of Securities, you will inform us by a Written Communication of the public offering price, the selling concession, the reallowance (if any) to dealers, and the time when we may commence selling Securities to the public. After such public offering has commenced, you may change the public offering price, the selling concession, and the reallowance to dealers. With respect to each Offering of Securities, until the provisions of this Section 3(c) shall be terminated pursuant to Section 5, we agree to offer Securities to the public only at the public offering price, except that if a reallowance is in effect, a reallowance from the public offering price not in excess of such reallowance may be allowed as consideration for services rendered in distribution to dealers who are actually engaged in the investment banking or securities business, who execute the written agreement prescribed by Rule 2740 of the Rules of Conduct of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the “NASD”) and who are either members in good standing of the NASD or foreign brokers or dealers not eligible for membership in the NASD who represent to us that they will promptly reoffer such Securities at the public offering price and will abide by the conditions with respect to foreign brokers and dealers set forth in Section 3(f) hereof.

(d) Stabilization and Overallotment. You may, with respect to any Offering, be authorized to over-allot in arranging sales to Selected Dealers, to purchase and sell Securities, any other securities of the issuer of the Securities of the same class and series and any other securities of such issuer that you may designate for long or short account, and to stabilize or maintain the market price of the Securities. We agree not to purchase and sell Securities for which an order from a client has not been received without your consent in each instance. We agree to advise you from time to time upon request, prior to the termination of the provisions of Section 3(c) with respect to any Offering, of the amount of Securities purchased by us hereunder remaining unsold and we will, upon your request, sell to you, for the accounts of the Underwriters, such amount of Securities as you may designate, at the public offering price thereof less an amount to be determined by you not in excess of the concession to dealers. In the event that prior to the later of (i) the termination of the provisions of Section 3(c) with respect to any Offering, or (ii) the covering by you of any short position created by you in connection with such Offering for your account or the account of one or more Underwriters, you purchase or contract to purchase for the account of any of the Underwriters, in the open market or otherwise, any Securities theretofore delivered to us, you reserve the right to withhold the above-mentioned concession to dealers on such Securities if sold to us at the public offering price, or if such concession has been allowed to us through our purchase at a net price, we agree to repay such concession upon your demand, plus in each case any taxes on redelivery, commissions, accrued interest, and dividends paid in connection with such purchase or contract to purchase.

B-3

(e) Open Market Transactions. We agree to abide by Regulation M under the Exchange Act and we agree not to bid for, purchase, attempt to purchase, or sell, directly or indirectly, any Securities, any other Reference Securities (as defined in Regulation M) of the issuer, or any other securities of such issuer as you may designate, except as brokers pursuant to unsolicited orders and as otherwise provided in this Agreement. If the Securities are common stock or securities convertible into common stock, we agree not to effect, or attempt to induce others to effect, directly or indirectly, any transactions in or relating to any stock of such issuer, except to the extent permitted by Rule 101 of Regulation M under the Exchange Act.

(f) NASD. We represent that we are actually engaged in the investment banking or securities business and we are either (i) a member in good standing of the NASD, (ii) if not such a member, a foreign dealer not eligible for membership, or (iii) solely in connection with an Exempted Securities Offering, a bank, as defined in Section 3(a)(6) of the Exchange Act, that does not otherwise fall within provision (i) or (ii) of this sentence (a “Bank”). If we are a member as described in (i), we agree that in making sales of the Securities we will comply with all applicable interpretative materials and Conduct Rules of the NASD, including, without limitation, Conduct Rules 2740 (relating to Selling Concessions, Discounts and Other Allowances) and 2790 (relating to New Issues). If we are a foreign dealer as described in (ii), we agree not to offer or sell any Securities in the United States of America, its territories or its possessions or to persons who are citizens thereof or residents therein (other than through you), and in making sales of Securities outside the United States of America we agree to comply as though we were a member with Conduct Rules 2730 (relating to Securities Taken in Trade), 2740 (relating to Selling Concessions), 2750 (relating to Transactions with Related Persons) and 2790 (relating to New Issues) as though we were such a member and to comply with Conduct Rule 2420 (relating to Dealing with Non-Members) as it applies to a nonmember broker or dealer in a foreign country. In connection with an Exempted Securities Offering, if we are a Bank, we agree to also comply, as though we were an NASD member, with the provision of Rules 2730, 2740 and 2750 of the Conduct Rules. We further represent, by our participating in an Offering, that we have provided to you all documents and other information required to be filed with respect to us, any related person or any person associated with us or any such related person pursuant to the supplementary requirements of the NASD’s interpretation with respect to review of corporate financing as such requirements relate to such Offering.

We further agree that, in connection with any purchase of Securities from you that is not otherwise covered by the terms of this Agreement (whether you are acting as manager, as member of an underwriting syndicate or a selling group or otherwise), if a selling concession, discount or other allowance is granted to us, the preceding paragraph will be applicable.

(g) Relationship among Underwriters and Selected Dealers. You may buy Securities from or sell Securities to any Underwriter or Selected Dealer and, with your consent, the Underwriters (if any) and the Selected Dealers may purchase Securities from and sell Securities to each other at the public offering price less all or any part of the concession. We are not authorized to act as agent for you or any Underwriter or the issuer or other seller of any Securities in offering Securities to the public or otherwise. Nothing contained herein or in any Written Communication from you shall constitute the Selected Dealers partners with you or any Underwriter or with one another. If the Selected Dealers, among themselves or with the Underwriters, should be deemed to constitute a partnership for federal income tax purposes, then

B-4

we elect to be excluded from the application of Subchapter K, Chapter 1, Subtitle A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and agree not to take any position inconsistent with that election. We authorize you, in your discretion, to execute and file on our behalf such evidence of that election as may be required by the Internal Revenue Service. Neither you nor any Underwriter shall be under any obligation to us except for obligations assumed hereby or in any Written Communication from you in connection with any Offering. In connection with any Offering, we agree to pay our proportionate share of any tax, claim, demand, or liability asserted against us, and the other Selected Dealers or any of them, or against you or the Underwriters, if any, based on any claim that such Selected Dealers or any of them constitute an association, unincorporated business, or other separate entity, including in each case our proportionate share of any expense incurred in defending against any such tax, claim, demand, or liability.

(h) Blue Sky Laws. Upon application to you, you will inform us as to the jurisdictions in which you believe the Securities have been qualified for sale or are exempt under the respective securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions. We understand and agree that compliance with the securities or “blue sky” laws in each jurisdiction in which we shall offer or sell any of the Securities shall be our sole responsibility and that you assume no responsibility or obligations as to the eligibility of the Securities for sale or our right to sell the Securities in any jurisdiction.

(i) Compliance with Law. We agree that in selling Securities pursuant to any Offering (which agreement shall also be for the benefit of the issuer or other seller of such Securities), we will comply with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, the applicable Rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, the applicable Rules and regulations of the NASD, the applicable Rules and regulations of any securities exchange having jurisdiction over the Offering, and the applicable laws, rules and regulations specified in Section 3(c) hereof. Without limiting the foregoing, (a) we agree that, at all times since we were invited to participate in an Offering of Securities, we have complied with the provisions of Regulation M applicable to such Offering, in each case after giving effect to any applicable exemptions and (b) we represent that our incurrence of obligations hereunder in connection with any Offering of Securities will not result in the violation by us of Rule 15c3-1 under the Exchange Act, if such requirements are applicable to us. You shall have full authority to take such action as you may deem advisable in respect of all matters pertaining to any Offering. Neither you nor any Underwriter shall be under any liability to us, except for lack of good faith and for obligations expressly assumed by you in this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing in this sentence shall be deemed to relieve you from any liability imposed by the Securities Act.

(j) Best Efforts Offering. If you communicate to us that a particular offering is being made on a best efforts basis, then the terms in this Section 3(j) apply and other inconsistent terms in this Agreement do not apply.

(i) The offering will be a best efforts offering. The offering also will be contingent and involve a closing only after receipt of necessary documentation from the issuer and satisfaction of other conditions, if any, specified in the prospectus or offering circular and the agency or engagement agreement with you and the issuer. The offering is designed to comply with applicable Commission rules, including Rules 15c2-4, 10b-9, and 15c6-1. See NASD Notice to Members 98-4, 87-61 and 84-7.

B-5

(ii) We represent and agree that we shall take necessary steps to comply with Commission Rules 15c2-4, 10b-9 and 15c6-1, including, but not limited to, depositing funds in a complying special account if funds are received before all closing conditions have been met. We also represent that we are aware that those who purchase in this best efforts offering are subject to the investor purchase limitations described in the prospectus or offering circular.

(4) Indemnification. We agree to indemnify and hold harmless Stifel, the issuer of the Securities, each person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) Stifel or the issuer of the Securities, and their respective directors, officers and employees from and against any and all losses, liabilities, costs or claims (or actions in respect thereof) (collectively, “Losses”) to which any of them may become subject (including all reasonable costs of investigating, disputing or defending any such claim or action), insofar as such Losses arise out of or are in connection with the breach of any representation, warranty or agreement made by us herein.

If any claim, demand, action or proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be brought or alleged against an indemnified party in respect of which indemnity is to be sought against an indemnifying party, the indemnified party shall promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing, and the indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnified party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the indemnifying party has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party or (iii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is agreed that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate law firm (in addition to local counsel where necessary) for all such indemnified parties. Such firm shall be designated in writing by the indemnified party. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

B-6

The indemnity agreements contained in this Section and the representations and warranties by us in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of: (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by an indemnified party or on such party’s behalf or any person controlling an indemnified party or by or on behalf of the indemnifying party, its directors or officers or any person controlling the indemnifying party, and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any Securities.

(5) Termination; Supplements and Amendments. This Agreement may be terminated by either party hereto upon five business days’ written notice to the other party; provided that with respect to any Offering for which a Written Communication was sent and accepted prior to such notice, this Agreement as it applies to such Offering shall remain in full force and effect and shall terminate with respect to such Offering in accordance with the last sentence of this Section. This Agreement may be supplemented or amended by you by written notice thereof to us, and any such supplement or amendment to this Agreement shall be effective with respect to any Offering to which this Agreement applies after the date of such supplement or amendment. Each reference to “this Agreement” herein shall, as appropriate, be to this Agreement as so amended and supplemented. The terms and conditions set forth in Sections 3(c) and (e) with regard to any offering will terminate at the close of business on the thirtieth day after the date of the initial public offering of the Securities to which such Offering relates, but such terms and conditions, upon notice to us, may be terminated by you at any time.

(6) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding on, and inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and other persons specified or indicated in Section 1, and the respective successors and assigns of each of them.

(7) Governing Law. This Agreement and the terms and conditions set forth herein with respect to any Offering together with such supplementary terms and conditions with respect to such Offering as may be contained in any Written Communication from you to us in connection therewith shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New Jersey without regard to conflicts of laws principles.

[SIGNATURE PAGE FOLLOWS]

B-7

By signing this Agreement we confirm that our subscription to, or our acceptance of any reservation of, any Securities pursuant to an Offering shall constitute (i) acceptance of and agreement to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (as supplemented and amended pursuant to Section 5) together with and subject to any supplementary terms and conditions contained in any Written Communication from you in connection with such Offering, all of which shall constitute a binding agreement between us and you, individually, or as representative of any Underwriters, (ii) in confirmation that our representations and warranties set forth in Section 3 are true and correct at that time and (iii) confirmation that our agreements set forth in Sections 2 and 3 have been and will be fully performed by us to the extent and at the times required thereby.
