extent listed and defined in Section 2 below and hereunder, and in any Addendum

and liabilities of the Borrower to the Bank, now existing or hereafter arising,
plus interest thereon and all costs of collection and legal expenses incurred by
the Bank in collecting and/or enforcing any of such liabilities or realizing on
the security given hereby (hereinafter collectively called the "Obligations").
1. DESCRIPTION OF ADVANCES. Pursuant to the Federal Home Loan Bank Act
of 1932, as amended, and all relevant rules and regulations in effect thereunder
(hereinafter collectively the "Act"), the Bank makes available loans to its
members and certain qualified non-member mortgagees (hereinafter referred to as
"advances"), which advances shall be used by such members and their affiliates,
for the purposes specified in the Act. The procedures and the form of
application for such advances are specified within the "Advance Programs" in
effect from time to time as adopted by the Board of Directors of the Bank as
part of its "Credit Policy".
2. SECURED PROPERTY LISTING AND DEFINITION. The following collateral
shall be included in the Bank's security interest (as noted in the box by each
category) and all of such items, together with such other collateral as may from
time to time be specified in separate agreements between the Bank and the Owner
(each such separate agreement hereinafter sometimes called an "Addendum"), or
which are pledged to the Bank or in which the Bank takes a security interest or
collateral assignment, if any, shall hereinafter collectively be called the
"secured property":
(a) [ ] Obligations of the United States of America, or
obligations fully guaranteed by the United States of America, or other
securities (whether certificated or uncertificated), investment property,
financial assets, security entitlements, accounts or other equity or
ownership interests in any corporation, partnership, limited liability company,
trust or other entity, association or organization, including without limitation
any affiliate which holds or may hold, directly or indirectly, assets of the
Borrower or the Owner, which obligations or securities are approved by the Bank
as eligible collateral security and delivered to the Bank's possession, or (at
the Bank's sole discretion) are otherwise in the Bank's control or subject to an
acceptable negative pledge, which obligations or securities are to be treated as
secured property (hereunder or pursuant to other agreements with the Bank), and
all replacements therefor and proceeds thereof (hereinafter called "Securities
Collateral");
(b) [ ] Specific one to four family residential mortgages and/or one
to four family residential deeds of trust in favor of the Owner as mortgagee,
and the notes or other instruments evidencing the indebtedness secured thereby,
and complying with the requirements of the Act and all replacements therefor and
proceeds thereof (hereinafter sometimes called "Specific Mortgage Collateral");
(c) [X] 99% of the Owner's one to four family mortgage portfolio (i.e.
each and every one to four family residential mortgage or one to four family
residential deed of trust in favor of the Owner as mortgagee, and the notes or
other instruments evidencing the indebtedness secured thereby, any participation
or residual interest therein, complying with the requirements of the Act and
meeting the requirements of Section 5(b) and 5(e) below whether now existing or
hereafter acquired, and all replacements therefor and proceeds thereof
(hereinafter sometimes called "Blanket One to Four Mortgage Collateral");
(d) [ ] 99% of the Owner's multi-family mortgage portfolio (i.e., each
and every five or more family residential mortgage or five or more residential
deed of trust in favor of the Owner as mortgagee, and the notes or other
instruments evidencing indebtedness secured thereby, or any participation or
residual interest therein complying with the requirements of the Act and meeting
the requirements of Sections 5(b) and 5(e) below) and all replacements therefor
and proceeds thereof (hereinafter called the "Blanket Multi-Family Mortgage
Collateral," and along with the interests of the Bank specified in Section 2(a)
above, collectively called "Blanket Mortgage Collateral").
3. EVIDENCE OF SECURED PROPERTY: MAINTENANCE OF COLLATERAL LEVEL. The
Owner agrees to deliver to the Bank such evidence of its interest in the secured
property and of availability of same for use as collateral pursuant hereto, in
accordance with the Credit Policy and as the Bank may in good faith request. The
Owner agrees that all secured property shall be subject to audit and
verification by or on behalf of the Bank at the sole expense of the Owner. The
Owner shall also permit the inspection of its books and records by or on behalf
of the Bank. The Owner will at all times maintain, as minimum secured property
hereunder, secured property having an aggregate collateral value acceptable to
the Bank, which shall make such determination in good faith and in conformity
with the requirements of Section 5(b) below, and if the Owner fails to do so,
the Owner, upon the written request of the Bank, will immediately deposit
additional collateral or agree to additional security interests satisfactory to
the Bank.
4. SECURITIES COLLATERAL. If item 2(a) above is included in the secured
property, Securities Collateral shall be given to the Bank in aggregate
principal amounts as required by the Bank, and such Securities Collateral (or
custodial receipts for same acceptable to the Bank) shall be (a) if in
certificated or other tangible form, deposited with the Bank, together with
indorsements acceptable to the Bank, or (b) at the Bank's sole discretion,
subject to an acceptable negative pledge. In said connection, the Bank will be
deemed to be an entitlements holder of and in sole control, within the meaning
of Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code, of any Securities Collateral, with
full power to hold and dispose of same as financial assets under Article 8 of
the Uniform Commercial Code (including, without limitation, full power to
exercise voting rights and receive any
-2-
income resulting from stock splits, stock dividends, cash dividends or
otherwise), and the Owner agrees to take and/or consent to such further actions
as the Bank may deem appropriate to take and maintain control over any
Securities Collateral, including obtaining the agreement of the issuer of any
Securities Collateral to comply with instructions originated by the Bank without
further consent by the Owner and the agreement of any securities intermediary to
comply with entitlement orders originated by the Bank without further consent by
the Owner. The Bank, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an event
of default (should the Bank have not already accelerated the Obligations), may
retain any interest or principal payments, or dividends or other distributions,
collected by it as to such Securities Collateral and apply same against interest
or principal of the Obligations in its sole discretion. In addition, the Owner
agrees to keep and maintain all Securities Collateral free and clear of pledges,
liens, participation interests and encumbrances, unless the Bank approves or is
deemed to have approved, any such pledge, lien, participation interest or
encumbrance, as provided in this Section 4. The Owner shall promptly give the
Bank specific and detailed written notice of any security interest or
participation in Securities Collateral taken by third party lenders, affiliates
or others. If at the time of such notice, no outstanding advances by Bank to
Borrower are secured either wholly or partially by collateral pledged by Owner
and if the Bank does not reply in writing to such notice by Owner within thirty
(30) days following receipt of it, such security interest or participation of a
third party lender or affiliate shall be deemed approved.
5. MORTGAGE COLLATERAL. The Owner acknowledges that the Bank is
permitting it to retain in its possession all Specific and Blanket Mortgage
Collateral (together or separately the "Mortgage Collateral") for purposes of
servicing, collection and foreclosure, and the Owner acknowledges that the
Owner, Borrower or other Bank approved third party will hold such Mortgage
Collateral, and all proceeds and payments therefrom, in trust as the Bank's
security and for the benefit and subject to the direction and control of the
Bank, and upon the following additional terms and conditions:
(a) At the Bank's request and sole option, the Owner shall
immediately deliver to the Bank an Assignment of each item of Mortgage
Collateral in the Bank's form for the same. Further, at the Bank's request and
sole option, the Owner will physically deliver to the Bank all documentation as
to Mortgage Collateral (including, without limitation, any participation
certificates or other evidence thereof) and/or endorse in favor of the Bank all
or any portion of same. Except as authorized by the Bank, the Owner shall not
withdraw any Specific Mortgage Collateral prior to its payment in full of all
Obligations. The Owner shall promptly notify the Bank in writing (i) whenever
principal payments in excess of ten percent (10%) of the remaining unpaid
balance are made on any item of Specific Mortgage Collateral, (ii) whenever any
item of Specific Mortgage Collateral is paid off in full or involved in any
foreclosure action, and/or (iii) whenever any building on property serving as
Specific Mortgage Collateral is damaged by casualty or otherwise in excess of
twenty-five percent (25%) of its appraised value (if the Owner does not
reasonably believe that such building can be promptly repaired). Such written
notice shall not initially be required where an Owner's Blanket Mortgage
Collateral provides collateral for the Obligations (i.e., if Sections 2(c) or
2(d) above has been utilized by the Borrower).
(b) The aggregate of the (i) market value of Securities
Collateral and (ii) principal balances due under Securities Collateral and/or
Mortgage Collateral shall be maintained at all times by the Borrower and Owner
in amounts as required by the Credit Policy.
(c) Upon written direction from the Bank, the Owner shall
deposit all collections from Mortgage Collateral in a separate bank account
designated as required by the Bank as a
-3-
source of which to withdraw interest and principal payments on the Obligations.
(d) Unless and until otherwise directed in writing by the Bank
after the occurrence of an event of default and only during the continuation of
such event of default (should the Bank have not accelerated the maturity of the
Obligation involved), the Owner shall have the right to make and retain all
collections from time to time coming due on Mortgage Collateral, to execute and
deliver satisfactions of or releases of such Mortgage Collateral paid in full,
and to take all necessary legal action to enforce collection of delinquent
payments, including foreclosure, without disclosing this security arrangement
and trust, and to use all collections so made by the Owner in its ordinary
course of business.
(e)(i) The Owner agrees to keep and maintain all Mortgage
Collateral free and clear of pledges, liens, participation interests and
encumbrances, unless the Bank approves or is deemed to have approved, any such
pledge, lien, participation interest or encumbrance, as provided in this Section
5(e)(i). The Owner shall promptly give the Bank specific and detailed written
notice of any security interest or participation in Mortgage Collateral taken by
third party lenders, affiliates or others. If at the time of such notice, no
outstanding advances by Bank to Borrower are secured either wholly or partially
by collateral pledged by Owner and if the Bank does not reply in writing to such
notice by Owner within thirty (30) days following receipt of it, such security
interest or participation of a third party lender or affiliate shall be deemed
approved.
(ii) Whenever it is commercially reasonable, the Owner shall
obtain the Bank's written approval prior to the actual sale or transfer of (or
the granting of any participation in) Mortgage Collateral. However, in case of
pledge of the Blanket Mortgage Collateral (i.e. notation by the Owner of
Sections 2(c) or 2(d) above) and if the Bank has not yet demanded or acquired
physical possession of documentation related to such Mortgage Collateral, and
when it is not commercially reasonable to obtain a release of such Mortgage
Collateral prior to the sale or transfer of mortgages, then the Owner is not
required to comply with this subsection 5(e)(ii) of the Agreement, provided, the
Owner or Borrower submits to the Bank within ten (10) business days after the
contractual sale or transfer date, or any earlier sale or transfer date, a
properly executed original Notice and Release Request in which the Owner and
Borrower warrant to the Bank that their aggregate pledged mortgage portfolios
equal in book value at least that percentage of outstanding advances required
by the Credit Policy still remain unsold and not participated in or encumbered
by others.
(f) The buildings located on each mortgaged property
constituting Mortgage Collateral shall be covered by all risk hazard insurance
and by insurance against all other risks customary and generally required by
mortgage lenders in the area in which the mortgaged property is located for the
type of mortgage loan involved in an amount not less than the unpaid balance due
the Owner by its customer on each such item of Mortgage Collateral. The Owner
will cause such insurance policies to include the Owner and its "successors and
assigns" as loss payee under a standard mortgage endorsement to evidence the
Bank's mortgagee/assignee interest therein and, if the Bank so requires, to give
the Bank ten (10) days prior notice of any policy cancellation. At the Bank's
demand, the Owner shall physically deliver to the Bank any such insurance
policies. The Bank may cause any secured property to be insured if the Owner
fails to do so, and any such expense shall be an additional Obligation
hereunder.

occurrence of any of the events of default and failure by the Owner to cure

instrument evidencing or document relating to the Obligations, be immediately
due and payable without notice or demand (except for the events of default
noted in Subsections (i) and (j) above, for which the Bank must give written
notice to the Borrower). The Bank may then, without first resorting to any
other property securing the Obligations from other parties (including, without
limitation, property provided by Borrower or by other affiliates of Borrower or
Owner), exercise any one or more of the rights and remedies granted pursuant to
this Agreement and/or
-6-
the Credit Policy and also exercise any or all of the rights and remedies
afforded to a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in Ohio
or the Owner's state of operation or to the Bank under the Act. Upon
repossession or recovery of the secured property by the Bank, it may, after
reasonable written notification to the Owner, sell the secured property at

proceeds of sale of the secured property shall be applied to the Obligations in
such manner and order of priority as the Bank may determine. Pending any such
action, the Bank may liquidate the secured property and/or continue to use and
exercise rights of ownership pertaining to the secured property. Owner does
hereby make, constitute and appoint Bank as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact
to deal with the secured property and, in the Owner's name and stead to sell,
assign, collect, compromise, settle and release of record any portion of the
secured property as fully as Owner could do if acting for itself. The Owner
hereby agrees to waive all claims for damages by reason of any seizure,
repossession, retention, use or sale of said secured property. The requirement
of reasonable notice, if necessary, shall be met if such notice is mailed,
postage prepaid, to the first of the places of business of the Owner shown in
this Agreement at least ten (10) days before the time of the sale or other
disposition. While exercising its rights as a secured party hereunder, including
use and receipt of benefits from the secured property, and provided the Bank's
actions are commercially reasonable under the circumstances or do not constitute
negligence or willful misconduct, the Bank shall not be liable in any fashion to
the Owner or any third party (including without limitation Owner's customers or
shareholders) for any damages arising from such use, or any obligations, duties
or liabilities of the Owner in connection therewith (including without
limitation Owner's contracts, agreements, guarantees, commitments or
warranties). Each of the rights, powers and remedies provided herein or now or
hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise shall be cumulative and
concurrent and shall be in addition to every other right, power or remedy
provided for in this Agreement or hereafter existing at law or in equity or
otherwise. The exercise of any such rights, powers or remedies shall not
preclude the simultaneous or later exercise of any or all other such rights,
powers or remedies.
8. WAIVERS: CONTINUED LIABILITY. The Bank shall not be deemed to have
waived any of its rights in this Agreement or to the secured property unless
such waiver is in writing and signed by the Bank and such waiver shall not
operate as a waiver of any other default or of the same default on a subsequent
occasion. No renewal or extension of time of payment of the Obligations at any
rate of interest, no release, surrender, exchange or modification of the secured
property, no release (including but not limited to an adjudication in
bankruptcy) of any person primarily or secondarily liable on the Obligations
(including any maker, endorser, guarantor or surety), no delay in enforcement of
payment of the Obligations and no delay, omission or forbearance in exercising
any right or power with respect to the Obligations, the secured property, or
this Agreement shall affect the liability of the Owner to the Bank. The Owner
authorizes and ratifies any payment of any part of the Obligations by the
Borrower to the same extent as if made by the Owner, and agrees, consents to and
confirms that any extension of any Statute of Limitations resulting from such
payments and affecting enforcement or collection of the Obligations, or of the
liabilities of the Owner under this Agreement, shall to the same degree also
extend any Statute of Limitations affecting enforcement and collection of the
liabilities under this Agreement as to the Owner. The Bank's security interest
in the secured property shall continue in effect notwithstanding that from time
to time no Obligations may exist. Owner hereby waives any and all notice of the
acceptance of this Agreement or the creation, accrual, or maturity of any and
all of the Obligations or of any and all renewals or extensions from time to
time of the Obligations.
9. DURATION. The term of this Agreement shall commence with the date
hereof and end on the termination date, which is the date when the Borrower has
paid in full all of the
-7-
Obligations secured hereby, and either: (i) the Bank gives written notice to the
Borrower or Owner that no further advances are to be made hereunder, (ii) the
Borrower gives written notice to the Bank that it does not intend to apply for
further advances, or (iii) the Owner gives written notice to the Bank that it
does not intend to pledge or grant a security interest in Owner's assets to
secure the payment of any further advances to Borrower. Until such termination,
this Agreement shall be a continuing one, and after such termination any
liabilities hereunder of the Owner to the Bank not satisfied prior to such
termination shall survive and remain in full force and effect until satisfied.
10. ATTORNEY-IN-FACT. Owner hereby appoints the Bank its irrevocable
attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, in its name or otherwise, but
at the Owner's sole cost and expense (i) to transfer any shares of stock or
Securities Collateral hereby or otherwise secured to Bank into the name of the
Bank or its designee or assignee, (ii) to endorse on behalf of the Owner any
promissory notes or other instruments delivered by the Owner to the Bank, (iii)
to execute and/or record such documents and instruments as the Bank, in its sole
judgment, deems necessary or appropriate to further evidence or perfect or
affect a transfer of the security interest granted to the Bank herein or
otherwise, and (iv) to record this Agreement as a power of attorney where the
Bank deems appropriate.
11. NOTICE. (a) Any written notice, approval, or direction provided for
in this Agreement to be given by the Bank to the Owner shall include and be
satisfied by notice given to the Owner by: (i) hand delivery, regular first
class mail, or any other form of physical delivery, or (ii) facsimile, whether
or not receipt of such facsimile is confirmed with the Owner or a follow-up hard
copy is mailed or otherwise physically delivered to the Owner, and (b) any
written notice provided for in this Agreement to be given by the Owner to the
Bank shall only include and be satisfied by notice given to the Bank by: (i)
registered or certified mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested) or
some other form of delivery whereby receipt is confirmed, or (ii) facsimile, but
only if receipt by the Bank is confirmed by the Owner and a follow-up hard copy
is delivered to the Bank by the means specified in subsection (b)(i) of this
Section 11.
12. GENERAL. All rights and liabilities hereunder shall be governed and
limited by and construed in accordance with the Act and the laws of the State of
Ohio (matters related to eligibility for advances and the rate of interest
assessed by the Bank on advances or other Obligations shall be governed solely
by the Act). This Agreement shall inure to the benefit and bind the Bank and the
Owner and their respective successors and assigns. Any provision hereof which
may prove limited or unenforceable under any laws or judicial rulings shall not
affect the validity or enforcement of the remainder of the provision or of any
other provision.
