----------------
subject to all of the terms and conditions hereof and on the basis of the
representations hereinafter set forth, to make a loan (the "Loan") of up to
_______________________________ ($ ____________) (the "Commitment"), such
proceeds to be used by the Borrower entirely to acquire shares ("Shares") of the
common stock, par value $.01 of First Source Bancorp, Inc., a Delaware
corporation.
The Loan is intended to be an "exempt loan" as described in Section 4975(d)
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), as defined in
Section 54.4975-7(b) of the Treasury Regulations (the "Regulations"), as
described in Section 408(b)(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974, as amended ("ERISA") and as described in Department of Labor Regulations
Section 2550.408b-3 (collectively, the "Exempt Loan Rules").
1.2 THE NOTE. The disbursement of the Loan pursuant to Section 1.1
--------
hereof shall be made against and evidenced by a promissory note of the Borrower
in the form annexed hereto
as Exhibit A (the "Note"), such Note to bear interest as hereinafter provided,
and shall become due and payable in ________ (___) consecutive annual equal
installments consisting of both principal and interest amortized over a ________
(__) year period in an amount sufficient to repay the Loan plus interest,
commencing on __________________, 1998 and on the last day of each and
____________________ each year thereafter, except that the final installment in
the amount of all principal and interest not sooner paid shall be due on
________________, the final maturity thereof.
Without regard to the principal amount of the Note stated on its face, the
actual principal amount at any time outstanding and owed by the Borrower on
account of the Note shall be the amount of the disbursement of the Loan made by
the Lender under Section 1.1 hereof less all payments of principal actually
received by the Lender. The amount of such disbursement made by the Lender and
any repayments of principal thereof shall be recorded by the Lender on its books
or records or, at its option, endorsed on the reverse side of the Note by the
Lender and the unpaid principal balance at any time so recorded or endorsed by
the Lender shall be prima facie evidence in any court or other proceedings
brought to enforce the Note of the principal amount remaining unpaid thereon.
1.3 EXEMPT LOAN RULES. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
-----------------
contained in this Loan and Security Agreement (the "Agreement") or in the Note,
the Borrower shall be obligated to make repayments of the Loan only to the
extent that such repayments when added to the repayments theretofore made during
the applicable plan year would not exceed an amount which would cause the
limitations of Section 415 of the Code to be exceeded for any ESOP participant.
Except as set forth in the next succeeding sentence and to the extent
permitted by applicable law, including, without limitation, the Exempt Loan
Rules, the principal amount of the Loan and any interest thereon shall be
payable solely from contributions (other than contributions of employer
securities) made to the Trust in accordance with the ESOP, and cash dividends
received on the Shares, to enable the Borrower to pay its obligations under the
Loan and from earnings attributable to the Shares and the investment of such
contributions and dividends.
The Lender acknowledges and agrees that it shall have no other recourse
against the Borrower for repayment of the Loan and that it shall have no
recourse against assets of the ESOP included in the Trust other than pursuant to
Sections 3 and 8 hereof.
SECTION TWO. INTEREST AND FEES.
2.1 INTEREST RATE. The Loan shall bear interest (which the Borrower
-------------
hereby promises to pay) prior to maturity (whether by lapse of time,
acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum equal at all times to the
Interest Rate as defined in Section 10.3 hereof.
2.2 BASIS AND PAYMENT DATES. All interest accruing on the Note prior to
-----------------------
maturity shall be due and payable on a annual basis on the last day of each year
(commencing
_________________, 1998) and at maturity (unless prepaid in whole prior to such
date, then on the date of such prepayment in whole) and interest accruing after
maturity shall be due and payable upon demand. All interest on the Note shall be
computed on the basis of a year of 360 days.
SECTION THREE. COLLATERAL.
3.1 GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST-PLEDGED SHARES. The Borrower hereby
-----------------------------------------
grants, pledges and assigns to the Lender ___________________________________
(_________) shares of the issued and outstanding common stock, par value $.01
per share all of which were either (i) purchased by the Borrower from the
proceeds of the disbursement of the Loan; (ii) acquired by the Borrower with the
proceeds of a prior exempt loan within the meaning of Section 54.4975-7(b) of
the Regulations, and pledged as collateral for such prior exempt loan, where the
balance of such prior exempt loan has been repaid with the proceeds of the
disbursement of the Loan (the "Pledged Shares" being hereinafter referred to as
the "Collateral"). The Pledged Shares shall be evidenced by a stock
certificate. The assignment and pledge herein granted and provided for is made
and given to secure and shall secure the prompt payment of principal of and
interest on the Note as and when the same becomes due and payable and the
payment, observance and performance of any and all obligations and liabilities
arising under or provided for in this Agreement or the Note or any of them in
each instance as the same may be amended or modified and whether now existing or
hereafter arising.
3.2 FURTHER ASSURANCES. The Borrower covenants and agrees that it will

Lender in the Collateral hereunder.
3.3 VOTING. Upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default

hereunder, the Lender shall have the right to transfer the Collateral or any

has occurred and so long as the same shall not have been waived by the Lender.
3.4 PARTIAL RELEASES. The Lender agrees, provided always that no Default
-----------------
or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, as promptly as is
practicable after ________________ in each year (the period commencing
__________________ and ending _____________, 1998 and each subsequent 12-month
period ending on ____________ being herein after referred to as a "Plan Year"),
to release that number of Pledged Shares then being held to secure the Loan
which is equal to the number of such Pledged Shares held as of the last day of
the Plan Year multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate
amount of
all principal and interest payments made on the Note during the Plan Year and
the denominator of which is the sum of the numerator plus the unpaid principal
and interest of the Note as of the last day of such Plan Year.

obligations pursuant to the Loan, cash dividends received by the Borrower on the

dividends and (ii) the Pledged Stock; provided further, however, that the value
of Trust assets transferred to the Lender as a result of an Event of Default
shall not exceed the amount of the repayment then in default, and, provided

shall release from the Collateral so much thereof as it would have been required

otherwise disposing of the Collateral, second, to the payment of the principal

the Lender personally delivering or mailing notice (by certified mail - return
receipt requested) to the Borrower at its address as provided in Section 11.6
hereof at least ten (10) days prior to the event giving rise to the requirement

manner it reasonably believes appropriate in order to comply or assure
compliance with applicable legal requirements pertaining to the offer and sale
of securities of the same type as the Collateral.

which the Lender may exercise the rights set forth in this Section 9 may not
exceed that number of shares (then remaining subject to pledge hereunder) which
is then equal in current value to the amount in default under the Note. The
remedies set forth in this Section 9 may only be exercised to the extent
consistent with the restrictions on remedies set forth in Section 408(b)(3) of
ERISA and the regulations thereunder and Section 4975(d)(3) of the Code and the
