  (1)  The computation is based upon the weighted average exercise price per share
       of $34.707143 as to 527,380 outstanding but unexercised options to purchase
       Common Stock under the Hadco Corporation 1998 Stock Plan as Amended and
       Restated March 3, 1999.
  
  (2)  The Proposed Maximum Offering Price Per Share has been estimated in
       accordance with Rule 457(h) under the Securities Act of 1933 as to the
       remaining 832,174 shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance pursuant
       to the Hadco Corporation 1998 Stock Plan as Amended and Restated March 3,
       1999, solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee. No
       options have been granted with respect to such shares. The computation is
       based upon the average of the high and low price of the Common Stock as
       reported on the Nasdaq National Market on June 16, 2000 because the price
       at which the options to be granted in the future may be exercised is not
       currently determinable.

       of $30.2928571 as to 1,264,193 outstanding but unexercised options to
       purchase Common Stock under the Hadco Corporation Non-Qualified Stock
       Option Plan dated November 29, 1995, Amended and Restated July 1, 1998.
  
  (4)  The Proposed Maximum Offering Price Per Share has been estimated in
       accordance with Rule 457(h) under the Securities Act of 1933 as to the
       remaining 70,448 shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance pursuant to
       the Hadco Corporation Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan dated November 29,
       1995, Amended and Restated July 1, 1998, solely for the purpose of

  ITEM 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
  
           Section 145(a) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL")
  provides in relevant part that "a corporation shall have power to indemnify any
  person who was or is a party 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 the person 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, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise,
  against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid
  in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with
  such action, suit or proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a
  manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
  interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or
  proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person's conduct was
  unlawful." With respect to derivative actions, Section 145(b) of the DGCL
  provides in relevant part that "[a] corporation shall have power to indemnify
  any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
  threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the
  corporation to procure a judgment in its favor . . . [by reason of his service
  in one of the capacities specified in the preceding sentence] against expenses
  (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in
  connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if the person
  acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or
  not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no
  indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to
  which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation
  unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which
  such action or suit was brought shall determine 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
  which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper."
  
           The Registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that to
  the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, no director of the Registrant shall be
  personally liable to the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for
  breach of fiduciary duty as a director. The Restated Certificate of
  Incorporation also provides that no amendment or repeal of such provision shall
  apply to or have any effect on the right to indemnification permitted thereunder
  with respect to claims arising from acts or omissions occurring in whole or in
  part before the effective date of such amendment or repeal whether asserted
  before or after such amendment or repeal.
  
           The Registrant's Bylaws provide that the Registrant shall indemnify to
  the fullest extent authorized by law each of its directors, officers, employees
  and other agents against expenses actually and reasonably incurred in connection
  with any proceeding arising by reason of the fact that such person is or was an
  agent of the corporation.
  
           The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with its
  directors and executive officers, in addition to the indemnification provided
  for in the Registrant's Bylaws, and intends to enter into indemnification
  agreements with any new directors or executive officers in the future.

  ITEM 9.  UNDERTAKINGS.
  
           A.       The 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 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.
  
                    (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. 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 Section 15(d) of the
  Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
  employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to 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.
  
           C. 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 DGCL, the Registrant's Restated Certificate of
  Incorporation, the Registrant's Bylaws or the Registrant's indemnification
  agreements, the Registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the
  Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy
  as expressed in the Securities 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 a successful defense of any action, suit
  or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
  connection with the securities being registered hereunder, the Registrant will,
  unless in the opinion of its counsel the question has already been settled by
  controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
  question of whether such indemnification
  
  
                                        II-3
  <PAGE>   6
  
  
  by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be
  governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

  the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets
  all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this
  registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto
  duly authorized, in the City of San Jose, State of California, on this 23rd day

  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, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise,
  against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid
  in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with
  such action, suit or proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a
  manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
  interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or
  proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person's conduct was
  unlawful." With respect to derivative actions, Section 145(b) of the DGCL
  provides in relevant part that "[a] corporation shall have power to indemnify
  any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
  threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the
  corporation to procure a judgment in its favor . . . [by reason of his service
  in one of the capacities specified in the preceding sentence] against expenses
  (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in
  connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if the person
  acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or
  not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no
  indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to
  which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation
  unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which
  such action or suit was brought shall determine 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
  which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper."
  
           The Registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that to
  the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, no director of the Registrant shall be
  personally liable to the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for
  breach of fiduciary duty as a director. The Restated Certificate of
  Incorporation also provides that no amendment or repeal of such provision shall
  apply to or have any effect on the right to indemnification permitted thereunder
  with respect to claims arising from acts or omissions occurring in whole or in
  part before the effective date of such amendment or repeal whether asserted
  before or after such amendment or repeal.
  
           The Registrant's Bylaws provide that the Registrant shall indemnify to
  the fullest extent authorized by law each of its directors, officers, employees
  and other agents against expenses actually and reasonably incurred in connection
  with any proceeding arising by reason of the fact that such person is or was an
  agent of the corporation.
  
           The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with its
  directors and executive officers, in addition to the indemnification provided
  for in the Registrant's Bylaws, and intends to enter into indemnification
  agreements with any new directors or executive officers in the future.

  ITEM 9.  UNDERTAKINGS.
  
           A.       The 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 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.
  
                    (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. 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 Section 15(d) of the
  Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
  employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to 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.
  
           C. 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 DGCL, the Registrant's Restated Certificate of
  Incorporation, the Registrant's Bylaws or the Registrant's indemnification
  agreements, the Registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the
  Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy
  as expressed in the Securities 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 a successful defense of any action, suit
  or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
  connection with the securities being registered hereunder, the Registrant will,
  unless in the opinion of its counsel the question has already been settled by
  controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
  question of whether such indemnification
  
                                        II-3
  6
  
  by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be
  governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

  the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets
  all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this
  registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto
  duly authorized, in the City of San Jose, State of California, on this 23rd day
  of June, 2000.
