enforceable against Debtor. The taking by Secured Party of physical possession
in Indiana of the stock certificates or other instruments representing the
Pledged Securities will perfect the Security Interest in that Collateral. Once

Collateral. The creation of the Security Interest does not require the consent
of any Person that has not been obtained.
Section 15.2 SECURITIES. All Pledged Securities are duly authorized,
validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable, and the transfer of them is not
subject to any restrictions other than restrictions imposed by applicable
corporate, banking and securities laws.
Section 15.3 MISCELLANEOUS REPRESENTATIONS. Debtor hereby represents

Collateral free and clear of all Liens, charges, pledges, encumbrances, and
security interests of every kind and nature other than Liens in favor of Secured
Party; (b) each Pledged Security has been validly authorized and issued, and is
fully paid and nonassessable; (c) Debtor has good right and lawful authority to
pledge the Collateral in the manner hereby done or contemplated; (d) no consent
or approval of or notice to any Governmental Authority, or of any securities
exchange, is necessary to effect the validity of the rights created hereunder
which have not been obtained; (e) except for any financing statement which may
have been filed by Secured Party, no financing statement covering the
Collateral, or any part thereof, has been filed with any filing officer; (f) no
presently effective security agreement covering the Collateral, or any part
thereof, has been made, and no presently effective security interest, other than

part thereof; (g) the execution, delivery, and consummation of this agreement
(i) have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action on the part of
Debtor, and (ii) will not violate the Constituent Documents of Debtor or any
issuer, or any law, regulation, mortgage, indenture, contract, instrument,
judgment, or decree applicable to or binding on Debtor or the issuers of the
Pledged Securities; (h) the Bank Securities constitute 100% of the issued and
outstanding voting stock of the Bank Subsidiaries; (i) all other Pledged
Securities constitute all of the stock of the Bank Subsidiaries owned directly
or indirectly by Debtor; (j) none of the Pledged Securities are subject to any
options or other rights of third parties, and (k) Debtor's chief executive
office is located at 00 X. Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000. Debtor has

3
Section 15.4 ADDITIONAL COLLATERAL. The foregoing representations and
warranties will be true and correct in all respects with respect to any
additional Collateral or additional specific descriptions of certain Collateral
delivered to Secured Party in the future by Debtor.
The failure of any of these representations or warranties to be
accurate and complete does not impair the Security Interest in any Collateral.
SECTION 16
SECURED PARTY AS CUSTODIAN
Secured Party shall have physical possession of the certificates or
instruments representing or evidencing the Collateral. Debtor agrees that either
(a) all certificates representing Pledged Securities shall, after the occurrence

lieu of presently registering the Pledged Securities in the name of Secured
Party or its nominee as provided in CLAUSE (a) above, Debtor will deposit with
Secured Party, along with the certificates or instruments representing or
evidencing the Pledged Securities, duly executed stock powers in favor of
Secured Party or its nominee with signatures guaranteed by a member or member
organization of the New York Stock Exchange or by a commercial bank or trust
Borrower acceptable to the transfer agent. In addition, Secured Party shall,
after the occurrence of an Event of Default, have the right to exchange
certificates or instruments representing or evidencing the Pledged Securities
for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations for any

reclassification of the outstanding capital stock of any issuer
thereof, or received in exchange for Pledged Securities or any part
thereof, or as a result of any merger, consolidation, acquisition, or
other exchange of assets to which any such issuer may be a party or

collateral pledged hereunder, and if received by Debtor, shall be held
in trust for the benefit of Secured Party, and forthwith be delivered

agreement.
(c) Secured Party shall execute and deliver (or cause to

pursuant to Section 6.1(a) hereof, and/or to receive the dividends which it is

retain pursuant to Section 6.1(b) hereof. Further, Secured Party shall have the
right upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, to notify and direct the

all money and other property paid over to, or received by, Secured Party

SECTION 19
EVENT OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
Section 19.1 REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, in

Obligations immediately due and payable, without written notice, demand, notice
of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, or presentment, all of which
are hereby waived; (ii) reduce any claims to judgment, foreclose, or otherwise

Party or elsewhere, as chosen by Secured Party, all or any part of the
Collateral, and any such sale or other disposition may be as a unit or in
parcels, by public or private proceedings, and by way of one or more contracts,
(it being agreed that the sale of any part of the Collateral shall not exhaust
Secured Party's power of sale, but sales may be made from time to time until all
of the Collateral has been sold, or until the Obligations have been paid in
full, provided, however, that Secured Party shall have no obligation to sell the
Collateral piecemeal, it being specifically acknowledged that a sale of all of
the Collateral to one purchaser in single transaction shall be conclusively
presumed to be commercially reasonable), and at any such sale it shall not be
necessary to
7
exhibit the Collateral; (iv) retain the Collateral in satisfaction of the
Obligations whenever the circumstances are such that Secured Party, is entitled
to do so under the UCC; (v) apply by appropriate judicial proceedings for
appointment of a receiver for the Collateral, or any part thereof; and Debtor
hereby consents to any such appointment; (vi) purchase the Collateral at any
public sale in accordance with the UCC; (vii) purchase the Collateral at any
private sale in accordance with the UCC; and (viii) exercise the rights set
forth in this agreement in accordance with the UCC.
Section 19.2 SALE OF PLEDGED SECURITIES. Secured Party is authorized,
at any sale of the Pledged Securities, if it deems it advisable, to restrict the
prospective bidders or purchasers to those persons who will represent and agree
that they are purchasing for their own account, for investment, and not with a
view to distribution or sale of any of the Pledged Securities. Upon any such
sale, Secured Party shall have the right to deliver, assign, and transfer to the
purchaser thereof the Pledged Securities so sold. Each purchaser at any such
sale shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right of
whatsoever kind, including any equity or right of redemption, of Debtor which
hereby specifically waives all rights of redemption, stay, or appraisal which it
has or may have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter
adopted, and such waiver shall be deemed to have been made after an Event of
Default. Secured Party shall give Debtor seven days written notice of its
intention to make any such public or private sale, or sale at broker's board or
on a securities exchange. Such notice, in case of sale at broker's board or on a
securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to
be made, and the day on which the Pledged Securities, or that portion thereof so
being sold, which will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange.
Secured Party shall have no obligation to disclose or provide any information
concerning the issuers or the Pledged Securities to prospective purchasers of
the Pledged Securities, other than information in its possession at such time,
and Debtor agrees and acknowledges that it shall be commercially reasonable for
any notices of any such sale, published or otherwise, to specifically so state.
At any such sale the Pledged Securities may be sold in one lot as an entirety or
in separate parcels, as Secured Party may elect, and any such election shall be
presumed to be commercially reasonable. Secured Party shall not be obligated to
make any such sale pursuant to any such notice. Secured Party may, without
notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to
be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for
the sale, and such sale may be made at any time or place to which the same may
be so adjourned. In case of any sale of all or any part of the Pledged
Securities on credit or for future delivery, the Pledged Securities so sold may
be retained by Secured Party until the selling price is paid by the purchaser
thereof; but Secured Party shall not incur any liability in case of the failure
of such purchaser to take and pay for the Pledged Securities so sold, and, in
case of any such failure, such Pledged Securities may again be sold upon like
notice. Secured Party may also, at its discretion, proceed by a suit or suits at
law or in equity to foreclose the pledge and sell the Pledged Securities, or any
portion thereof, under a judgment or decree of a court or courts of competent
jurisdiction. If any consent, approval, or authorization of any federal, state,
municipal, or other governmental department, agency, or authority should be
necessary to effectuate any sale or other disposition of the Pledged Securities,
or any part disposition of the Pledged Securities, or any part thereof; Debtor
will execute all such applications and other instruments as may be required in
connection with securing any such consent, approval, or authorization, and will
otherwise use its best efforts to secure the same. Any sale of the Pledged
8
Securities conditioned upon the receipt of any such consent, approval, or
authorization shall be presumed to be commercially reasonable.
Section 19.3 POSSIBLE RESTRICTIONS ON SALE OF PLEDGED COLLATERAL.
Because of the Securities Act and other applicable laws or regulations, there
may be legal restrictions or limitations affecting Secured Party in any attempts
to dispose of certain portions of the Pledged Securities in the enforcement of
its rights and remedies hereunder. For these reasons, Secured Party is hereby
authorized by Debtor, but not obligated, in the event of any Event of Default
hereunder giving rise to Secured Party's rights to sell or otherwise dispose of
the Pledged Securities, and after the giving of any notices required herein, to
sell all or any part of the Pledged Securities at private sale, subject to an
investment letter or subject to any purchase agreement, or receipt of any
regulatory approvals regarding change of control approvals, or with respect to
any other matter, or in any other manner which will not require the Pledged
Securities, or any part thereof; to be registered in accordance with the
Securities Act, as amended, or other applicable rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder, or any other law or regulation, at the best price
reasonably obtainable by Secured Party at any such private sale or other
disposition in the manner mentioned above, and Debtor specifically acknowledges
that any such disposition shall be commercially reasonable under the UCC.
Secured Party is also hereby authorized by Debtor, but not obligated, to take
such actions, give such notices, obtain such consents, and do such other things
as Debtor may deem required or appropriate in the event of a sale or disposition
of any of the Pledged Securities. Debtor clearly understands that Secured Party
may, at its discretion, approach a restricted number of potential purchasers,
and may impose such other conditions in connection with any such sale as Secured
Party deems necessary or desirable in order to comply with the Securities Act
and other applicable laws, and that a sale under such circumstances may yield a
lower price for the Pledged Securities, or any part or parts thereof, than would
otherwise be obtainable if same were registered and sold in the open market.
Debtor agrees (i) in the event Secured Party shall, upon an Event of Default
hereunder, sell the Pledged Securities, or any portion thereof, at such private
sale or sales, Secured Party shall have the right to rely upon the advice and
opinion of any member firm of a national securities exchange as to the best
price reasonably obtainable upon such private sale thereof, and (ii) that such
reliance shall be conclusive evidence that Secured Party handled such matter in
a commercially reasonable manner under the UCC.
If an Event of Default exists, then Secured Party may, at its election
(but subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement), exercise any
and all rights available to a secured party under the UCC, in addition to any
and all other rights afforded by the Loan Documents, at law, in equity, or
otherwise, including, without limitation (a) requiring Debtor to assemble all or
part of the Collateral and make it available to Secured Party at a place to be
designated by Secured Party which is reasonably convenient to Debtor and Secured
Party, and (b) applying to the Obligations any cash held by Secured Party under
the Loan Documents.
Section 19.4 NOTICE. Reasonable notification of the time and place of
any public sale of the Collateral, or reasonable notification of the time after
which any private sale or other intended disposition of the Collateral is to be
made, shall be sent to Debtor and to any other Person entitled to notice under
the UCC. If any Collateral threatens to decline speedily in value or is of the
type customarily sold on a recognized market, Secured Party may sell or
otherwise dispose of the Collateral without notification, advertisement, or
other notice of any kind. Notice
9
sent or given not less than seven calendar days before the taking of the action
to which the notice relates is reasonable notification and notice for the
purposes of this section.
Section 19.5 OTHER SALES. Secured Party's sale of less than all
Collateral does not exhaust Secured Party's rights under this agreement and
Secured Party is specifically empowered to make successive sales until all
Collateral is sold. If the proceeds of a sale of less than all Collateral are
less than the Obligations, then this agreement and the Security Interest remain
in full force and effect as to the unsold portion of the Collateral just as
though no sale had been made. In the event any sale under this agreement is not
completed or is, in Secured Party's opinion, defective, that sale does not
exhaust Secured Party's rights under this agreement, and Secured Party is
entitled to cause a subsequent sale or sales to be made. All statements of fact
or other recitals made in any xxxx of sale or assignment or other instrument
evidencing any foreclosure sale under this agreement (whether about nonpayment
of the Obligations, the occurrence of any Event of Default, Secured Party's
having declared all of the Obligations to be due and payable, notice of time,
place, and terms of sale and the properties to be sold having been duly given,
or any other act or thing having been duly done by Secured Party) shall be taken
as prima facie evidence of the truth of the facts so stated and recited. Secured
Party may appoint or delegate any one or more Persons as agent to perform any
act or acts necessary or incident to any sale held by Secured Party, including
the sending of notices and the conduct of sale, but such acts must be done in
the name and on behalf of Secured Party.
Section 19.6 POWER-OF-ATTORNEY. Secured Party is deemed to be
irrevocably appointed as Debtor's agent and attorney-in-fact with the right to
enforce all of Debtor's rights under or in connection with the Collateral
effective and operable at all times while an Event of Default exists. All
reasonable costs, expenses, and liabilities incurred and all payments made by
Secured Party as Debtor's agent and attorney-in-fact (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorney's fees and expenses) are considered a loan by
Secured Party to Debtor that is repayable on demand, accrues interest at the
rate specified in the Credit Agreement to be applied upon an Event of Default
until paid, and is part of the Obligations.
Section 19.7 APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. Secured Party shall apply the
proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral under this Section 7
in the order and manner specified in Article III of the Credit Agreement. Any
surplus remaining shall be delivered to Debtor or as a court of competent
jurisdiction may direct. If the proceeds are insufficient to pay the Obligations
in full, Debtor remains liable for any deficiency.
SECTION 20
AUTHORITY OF SECURED PARTY
Secured Party shall have and be entitled to exercise all such powers
hereunder as are specifically delegated to Secured Party by the terms hereof,
together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Secured Party
may execute any of its duties hereunder by or through sub-agents or employees,
and shall be entitled to retain counsel and to act in reliance upon the advice
of such counsel concerning all matters pertaining to said duties. Secured Party
and any director, officer, or employee of Secured Party shall not be liable for
any action taken or omitted to be taken by them or any of them hereunder or in
connection herewith, except for their own gross negligence or willful
misconduct; nor shall Secured Party be responsible for the
10
validity, effectiveness, or sufficiency hereof, or of any document or security
furnished pursuant hereto or in connection herewith. Secured Party shall be
entitled to rely on any communication, instrument, or document believed by it to

SECTION 21
OTHER RIGHTS; PERFORMANCE
If Debtor fails to preserve the priority of the Security Interest in
any of the Collateral or otherwise fails to perform any of its obligations under
the Loan Documents with respect to the Collateral, then Secured Party may, at
its option, but without being required to do so, prosecute or defend any suits
in relation to the Collateral or take all other action which Debtor is required,
but has failed or refused, to take under the Loan Documents. Any sum which may
be expended or paid by Secured Party under this section (including, without
limitation, court costs and attorneys' fees) shall bear interest from the dates
of expenditure or payment at the rate specified in the Credit Agreement to be
applied upon an Event of Default until paid and, together with such interest,
shall be payable by Debtor to Secured Party upon demand and is part of the
Obligations.
XXXXXXX 00
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Xxxxxx hereby agrees to reimburse Secured Party, on demand, for all
reasonable expenses incurred by it in connection with the administration and
enforcement of this Agreement, and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Secured
Party from and against any and all liability incurred by it hereunder or in
connection herewith, unless such liability shall be due to willful misconduct or
gross negligence on the part of Secured Party. Other than the exercise of
reasonable care in the physical custody of the Pledged Securities while held by
Secured Party, Secured Party shall have no responsibility for or obligation or
duty with respect to all or any part of the Collateral, or any matter or
proceeding arising out of or relating thereto, including, without limitation,
any obligation or duty to collect any sums due in respect thereof, or to protect
or preserve any rights against prior parties, or any other rights pertaining
thereto, it being understood and agreed that Debtor shall be responsible
generally for the preservation of all rights in the Collateral. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, Secured Party shall be conclusively deemed to
have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral if secured party
takes such action, for purposes of preserving rights in the Collateral, as
Debtor may reasonably request in writing, but no failure or omission or delay by
Secured Party in complying with any such request by Debtor, and no refusal by
Secured Party to comply with any such request by Debtor shall be deemed to be a
failure to exercise reasonable care.
SECTION 23
SECURED PARTY APPOINTED ATTORNEY-IN-FACT
Debtor hereby appoints Secured Party as Debtor's attorney-in-fact to
act, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in
the name of Debtor or otherwise for the purpose of carrying out the provisions
of this agreement, and taking any action, and executing any instrument which
Secured Party may deem necessary or advisable to
11
accomplish the purposes hereof. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, Secured Party shall have the right and power, after the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to receive, endorse, and
collect all checks and other orders for the payment of money made payable to
Debtor representing any dividend or other distribution payable or distributable
in respect of the Collateral, or any part thereof, and to give full discharge
for the same.
SECTION 24
MISCELLANEOUS

performance of the Obligations. No Obligor is ever obligated to make inquiry of
the termination of this agreement but is fully protected in making any payments
on the Collateral directly to Secured Party.
Section 24.2 MATTERS NOT RELEVANT. The Security Interest, Debtor's
obligations, and Secured Party's rights under this agreement are not released,

surrender, exchange, subordination, or loss of any other -- guaranty, assurance,
or security for any of the Obligations; (b) any full or partial release of any
other Person obligated on any of the Obligations; (c) the modification or
assignment of-- or waiver of compliance with-- any other Term Loan Document; (d)
any present or future insolvency, bankruptcy, or lack of corporate, partnership,
or trust power of any other Person obligated on any of the Obligations; (e) any
renewal, extension, or rearrangement of any of the Obligations, or any

obligated on any of the Obligations; (f) any Person's neglect, delay, omission,
failure, or refusal to take or prosecute any action in connection with any of

Collateral under this agreement and except for the defense of full and final
payment of the Obligations) of Debtor or any other Person against Secured Party;
(h) the unenforceability of any of the Obligations against any Person obligated
or any of the Obligations because it exceeds the amount permitted by law, the
act of creating it is ultra xxxxx, or the officers, partners, or trustees
creating it exceeded their authority or violated their fiduciary duties, or
otherwise; (i) any payment of the Obligations is held to constitute a preference
under the United States Bankruptcy Code or any similar state or federal debtor
relief laws or for any other reason Secured Party is required to refund any
payment or make payment to another Person; or (j) any Person's failure to notify
Debtor or the Secured Party of their acceptance of this agreement or any

Debtor waives any notice of any kind under any circumstances whatsoever with
respect to this agreement or any of the Obligations other than as specifically

pursue any other right which Secured Party may have, and (b) all rights of
marshaling in respect of the Collateral.
12
Section 24.4 FINANCING STATEMENT. Secured Party may, at any time, file
a financing statement accurately describing the Collateral, but Secured Party's
