         Section 2.6.  Optional Prepayment.

                  (a) Upon  compliance  with this Section 2.6, the Trust, at its
         option,  may  prepay  the Trust Note at any time and from time to time,
         either in whole or in part, by payment of the  principal  amount of the
         Trust  Note or  portion  thereof to be  prepaid  and  accrued  interest
         thereon to the date of such prepayment.

                  (b) The  Trustee  will give  notice of any  prepayment  of the
         Trust Note  pursuant to this Section 2.6 to the Company not less than 3
         days nor more than 60 days  before  the date  fixed  for such  optional
         prepayment specifying (i) such date, (ii) that prepayment is to be made
         under Section 2.6 of this Agreement,  (iii) the principal amount of the
         Trust  Note to be  prepaid  on such  date,  and (iv)  accrued  interest
         applicable to the prepayment. Such notice of prepayment shall be signed
         by the  Trustee.  Notice  of  prepayment  having  been  so  given,  the

         the prepayment date.

                  (c)  Partial  prepayments  of the Trust Note made  pursuant to
         this  Section  2.6 shall be  credited  in each case  against  remaining
         scheduled  payments on the Trust Note in the  inverse  order of the due
         dates of such payments.

                  (d) No such prepayment  shall,  however,  be permitted if such
         prepayment would adversely affect the Required Status.

         Section 2.7.  Place and Time of Payment.  All payments of principal of,
or interest on, the Trust Note shall be made by the Trust to the Company in same
day funds at Crawfordsville, Indiana, not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date due.
Funds received after that hour shall be deemed to have been received on the next
following Business Day.

         Section 2.8.  Application of Certain  Payments.  If, and to the extent,
Shares  acquired with proceeds of the Trust Loan,  held in the Trust and not yet
allocated to participant accounts are sold, then, to the extent allowable by the
Exempt Loan Rules and applicable law, the Trustee,  at the direction of the ESOP
Committee  administering  the ESOP (the  "Committee"),  may  apply the  proceeds
thereof  toward  the  repayment  of the  Trust  Loan.  Dividends  or other  cash
distributions  paid on the Shares  purchased with the proceeds of the Trust Loan
(whether or not allocated to the accounts of Participants)  shall be used by the
Trustee, at the discretion of the Committee,  to the extent permissible to repay
the Trust Loan in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.5 of the ESOP.

         Section 2.9.  Due Date  Extension.  If any payment of principal  of, or
interest on, the Trust Note falls due on a day that is not a Business  Day, then
such due  date  shall  be  extended  to the next  following  Business  Day,  and
additional  interest  shall  accrue  and be  payable  for  the  period  of  such
extension.

         Section 2.10.  Computations.  All computations of interest on the Trust
Loan and  other  amounts  due  hereunder  shall be based on a year of 360  days,
comprising twelve 30-day months.

of, or interest on, the Trust Note is not made when due,  interest  shall accrue
on the amount  thereof,  commencing  on such due date  through the date on which
such amount is paid in full, at a rate per annum equal to the Interest Rate plus
two percent (2%).

                                   ARTICLE III

         Section 3.1. Security. Payment of the Trust Note and performance by the
Trust of its obligations under this Agreement and the Trust Note will be secured

Trustee  on  behalf of the  Trust to and in favor of the  Company  under a Share
Pledge  Agreement,  substantially  in the form of Exhibit B hereto  (the  "Share
Pledge Agreement").

         Section 3.2. Release of Shares.  Notwithstanding  any provision of this
Agreement  or the Share Pledge  Agreement to the contrary  contained or implied,

Pledge Agreement,  such Shares as must be allocated to ESOP  participants  under
the ESOP pursuant to Section  8.7(h) of the ESOP and  otherwise  under the Code,
the Exempt Loan Rules or other  applicable law,  provided that Section 8.7(h) of
the ESOP shall not be amended without the Trustee's prior consent.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                           REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES

represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

         primarily for the benefit of ESOP participants and their  beneficiaries
         and bears  interest  at a rate not in excess of a  reasonable  rate and
         that the terms of the loan are at least as  favorable  to the Trust and
         the ESOP  participants as the terms of a comparable loan resulting from
         arm's-length negotiations between completely independent parties;

                  (b) The Trustee is a national  bank,  legally  existing and in
         good standing under federal law, has corporate  power and authority and
         is duly authorized to enter into and perform the Trust;

                                                        -5-

<PAGE>



                  (c) The  Trustee  has  full  right,  power  and  authority  to
         execute,  deliver  and  perform on behalf of the Trust  under the Trust
         Agreement, the ESOP and otherwise the obligations set forth in the Loan
         Documents,  and the execution and performance of such  obligations will
         not conflict with or result in a breach of the terms of the ESOP or the
         Trust or result in a breach or violation of the  Trustee's  Articles of
         Association  or  By-Laws  or of any  law or  regulation,  order,  writ,
         injunction or decree of any court or governmental  authority binding on
         the Trust or Trustee;

                  (d) The ESOP (and related  Trust) has been duly  authorized by
         all necessary  corporate action on the part of the Trustee, if any, has
         been  duly  executed  by an  authorized  officer  of  the  Trustee  and
         delivered and constitutes a legal,  valid and binding obligation of the
         Trustee and  declaration of trust  enforceable  in accordance  with its
         terms;

                  (e) The Loan Documents have been duly authorized, executed and
         delivered  by the  Trustee  and  constitute  legal,  valid and  binding
         obligations,  contracts and  agreements of the Trustee on behalf of the
         Trust, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms;

                  (f)  The  execution,  delivery  and  performance  of the  Loan
         Documents do not conflict with, or result in the creation or imposition
         of any lien or  encumbrance  upon any of the  property  of the  Trustee
         (other than the Collateral,  as defined in the Share Pledge  Agreement)
         pursuant to the provisions of the ESOP (and related Trust) or any other
         agreement or other instrument to which the Trustee is a party or may be
         bound; and

                  (g) No approval,  consent or  withholding  of objection on the
         part  of,  or  filing,   registration   or   qualification   with,  any
         governmental body, Federal,  state or local, is necessary in connection
         with the execution, delivery and performance by the Trustee of the Loan
         Documents.

         Section 4.2.  Representations  and Warranties of Company. To induce the
Trust to enter this  Agreement  and  undertake the  obligations  hereunder,  the
Company represents and warrants to the Trust as follows:

                  (a) The Company is a  corporation  duly  organized and validly
         existing  under the laws of the State of Indiana,  has corporate  power
         and  authority  and is duly  authorized  to enter into and  perform its
         obligations under this Agreement;

                  (b) Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement,  nor
         the performance of the terms hereof nor the  establishment  of the ESOP
         or the Trust  violates,  conflicts  with or constitutes a default under
         Company's   Articles  of  Incorporation  or  By-Laws  or  any  material
         agreement  to which the  Company is a party or by which the  Company or
         any of its assets is bound, or violates any law,  regulation,  order or
         decree of any court,  arbitration or governmental  authority applicable
         to the Company, in any manner that would have a material adverse effect
         on the Trust, the ESOP, the Required Status or the Company;

         before or by any court or tribunal that have not been  disclosed to the
         Trustee  and may have a  material  adverse  effect  on the value of the
         Common Stock.

                  (i) All employee plans of the  Association and the Company are
         in compliance, in all material respects, with all applicable reporting,
         disclosure and filing requirements pertaining to employee benefit plans
         set forth in the Code and ERISA.

         waiting period is required in connection with the execution or delivery
         of this Agreement, except such as has been obtained, given or expired.

         thereunder,  and shall not permit its ability to honor such  Options to
         be materially restricted in any way.

                             SHARE PLEDGE AGREEMENT

         THIS  SHARE  PLEDGE  AGREEMENT  (this   "Agreement"  or  "Share  Pledge
Agreement"),  dated as of December  29,  1997,  between the Trust (the  "Trust")
established pursuant to the provisions of UNION COMMUNITY BANCORP EMPLOYEE STOCK
OWNERSHIP  PLAN AND TRUST  AGREEMENT  (EFFECTIVE  AS OF  JANUARY  1,  1997) (the
"Plan")  by HOME  FEDERAL  SAVINGS  BANK,  as  Trustee  ("Trustee"),  and  UNION
COMMUNITY BANCORP, an Indiana corporation (the "Company").


                                   WITNESSETH:

         WHEREAS,  contemporaneously  herewith,  the Trust and the Company  have
entered into that certain  Exempt Loan and Share  Purchase  Agreement (the "Loan
Agreement";  definitions  of terms  appearing  in which  have the same  meanings
herein,  unless a clear contrary  intention  appears),  dated December 29, 1997,
pursuant to which the Company has agreed to lend to the Trust, and the Trust has
agreed to borrow from the Company,  the Trust Loan,  and the Trust,  to evidence
its indebtedness to the Company with respect to the Trust Loan, has executed and
delivered the Trust Note to the Company; and

         WHEREAS,  it is a condition  precedent to the obligation of the Company
to make the Trust Loan that,  among other things,  the Trust execute and deliver
this Agreement to the Company,

         NOW,  THEREFORE,  in  consideration of the Loan Agreement and the Trust
Loan and other  good and  valuable  consideration  (the  receipt,  adequacy  and
sufficiency of which the Trust  acknowledges by its execution hereof,  the Trust
intending to be legally bound does hereby covenant and agree with the Company as
follows:

         Section  1.  Pledge.  To  secure  the  due  and  punctual  payment  and
performance  of the  obligations  of the  Trust  hereunder  and  under  the Loan
Agreement and the Trust Note (collectively,  the "Liabilities"),  the Trustee on
behalf of the Trust hereby pledges, hypothecates,  assigns, transfers, sets over
and delivers unto the Company,  its  successors and assigns and hereby grants to
the Company, its successors and assigns a security interest in:

                  (a) All  Shares of Company  Common  Stock  purchased  or to be
         purchased  with the  proceeds  of the  Trust  Loan  (collectively,  the
         "Pledged  Shares") and the certificates  representing or evidencing the
         Pledged Shares,  and, to the extent permitted by Section  4975(e)(7) of
         the  Internal   Revenue  Code  of  1986,  as  amended,   and  Reg.  ss.
         54.4975-7(b)(5) promulgated thereunder, all cash, securities, interest,
         dividends,  rights and other property at any time and from time to time
         received  in respect of or in  exchange  for any or all of the  Pledged
         Shares; and

                  (b)    all proceeds of all of the foregoing

                                                        -2-

(all such Pledged Shares, certificates,  cash, securities,  interest, dividends,
rights and other property, and proceeds thereof, other than as released, sold or
otherwise  applied by the Company  pursuant to the' terms  hereof,  being herein
collectively  called  the  "Collateral"),  TO HAVE AND TO HOLD such  Collateral,
together  with  all  rights,  titles,  interests,   privileges  and  preferences
appertaining or incidental  thereto,  forever,  subject,  however, to the terms,
covenants and conditions hereafter set forth.

         Section 2. Warranties and Covenants.

                  (a) The Trust  represents and warrants to the Company that the
         Trust is, or at the time of any future delivery,  pledge, assignment or
         transfer  will be,  the  lawful  owner of the  Collateral,  free of all
         claims and liens other than the security interest hereunder,  with full
         right to deliver,  pledge,  assign and transfer the  Collateral  to the
         Company as Collateral hereunder.

                  (b) So long as any of the Liabilities remain outstanding,  the
         Trust will, unless the Company shall otherwise consent in writing:

                           (i) promptly deliver to the Company from time to time
                  certificates   representing  Pledged  Shares  as  the  Trustee
                  acquires  them and,  upon request of the  Company,  such stock
                  powers and other documents, satisfactory in form and substance
                  to the Company,  with respect to the Collateral as the Company
                  may reasonably request to preserve and protect,  and to enable
                  the Company to enforce, its rights and remedies hereunder;

                           (ii) not create or suffer to exist any lien, security
                  interest or other charge or  encumbrance  against,  in or with
                  respect  to  any of  the  Collateral  except  for  the  pledge
                  hereunder and the security interest created hereby;

                           (iii) not make or consent to any  amendment  or other
                  modification  or waiver with respect to any of the  Collateral
                  or enter into any agreement or permit to exist any restriction
                  with  respect to any of the  Collateral  other  than  pursuant
                  hereto; and

                           (iv) not take or fail to take any action  which would
                  in any  manner  impair  the  value  or  enforceability  of the
                  Company's security interest in any of the Collateral.

         Section  3. Care of  Collateral.  The  Company  shall be deemed to have
exercised  reasonable  care with  respect  to the  interest  of the Trust in the
custody  and  preservation  of the  Collateral  if it takes such action for that
purpose as the Trust  shall  request  in writing or as it would with  respect to
similar  assets of its own,  but  failure of the Company to comply with any such
request shall not of itself be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care.

         Section 4. Certain Rights Regarding Collateral and Liabilities.

         (a) The Company may from time to time,  whether  before or after any of
the  Liabilities  shall become due and payable,  without notice to the Trust, to
the extent otherwise  permitted (i) retain or obtain a security  interest in the
Collateral,  to secure payment and performance of any of the  Liabilities,  (ii)
retain or obtain the primary or secondary  liability of any party or parties, in
addition to the Trust,  with respect to any of the Liabilities,  (iii) extend or
renew for any  period  (whether  or not  longer  than the  original  period)  or
exchange any of the  Liabilities  or release or compromise any obligation of any
nature of any  party  with  respect  thereto,  and (iv)  surrender,  release  or
exchange  all or any  part  of any  property,  in  addition  to the  Collateral,
securing  payment and  performance of any of the  Liabilities,  or compromise or
extend or renew for any period (whether or not longer than the original  period)
any obligations of any nature of any party with respect to any such property.

         (b) The Company shall have no right to vote the Pledged Shares prior to
the  occurrence  of an Event of  Default  (hereinafter  in Section  6(a)  hereof
defined).  After the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Trust shall have the
right to vote any and all of the  Pledged  Shares  in  accordance  with the Plan
unless and until it receives  notice  from the Company  that such right has been
terminated  with  respect  to shares  subject  to  execution  as a result of the
Default.

         Section 5. Dividends, etc.

         (a) So long as no Default or Event of Default,  shall have occurred and
be continuing, the Trust shall be entitled to receive any and all cash dividends
on the Pledged Shares which it is otherwise entitled to receive, and to vote the
Pledged  Shares in accordance  with the terms of the Plan and to give  consents,
waivers  and  ratifications  in respect of the Pledged  Shares,  but any and all
stock  and/or  liquidating  dividends,  distributions  in  property,  returns of
capital or other  distributions  made on or in respect  of the  Pledged  Shares,
whether  resulting from a subdivision,  combination or  reclassification  of the
outstanding  capital stock of any issuer thereof or received in exchange for the
Pledged Shares or any part thereof or as a result of any merger,  consolidation,
acquisition  or other  exchange  of assets to which any issuer may be a party or
otherwise,  and any and all cash and other property received in exchange for any
Collateral shall be, and become part of the Collateral pledged hereunder and, if
received  by the Trust,  shall  forthwith  be  delivered  to the  Company or its
designated  nominee  (accompanied,  if  appropriate,  by proper  instruments  of
assignment  and/or stock  powers  executed by the Trust in  accordance  with the
Company's  instructions)  to be held subject to the terms of this  Agreement and
the Plan.

         (b) Upon the  occurrence  and  during  the  continuance  of an Event of
Default,  subject to the terms of Section 4(b)  hereof,  all rights of the Trust
pursuant to Section 5(a) hereof shall cease and the Company  shall have the sole
and exclusive  right and authority to receive and retain the dividends which the
Trust would  otherwise be authorized  to retain and, to the extent  permitted by
law, to vote and give consents,  waivers and  ratifications  pursuant to Section
5(a) hereof.  Any and all money and other  property  paid over to or received by
the Company pursuant to the provisions

                                                        -4-

of this paragraph (b) shall be retained by the Company as additional  Collateral
hereunder and be applied in accordance with the provisions hereof.

           Section 6. Event of Default.

           (a) The occurrence of any of the following shall  constitute an Event
of Default hereunder nonpayment, when due, whether by acceleration or otherwise,
of any amount payable on any of the Liabilities;  an Event of Default as defined
in the Loan  Agreement;  any  representation  or warranty of the Trust contained
herein or given  pursuant  hereto being untrue in any material  respect;  or the
Trust's failure to perform any covenant or agreement contained herein.

           (b) Upon the  occurrence of an Event of Default,  (i) the Company may
exercise  from time to time any rights and  remedies  available  to it under the
Uniform  Commercial  Code as in effect from time to time in Indiana or otherwise
available  to it,  including,  but not limited to,  sale,  assignment,  or other
disposal of the  Pledged  Shares in  exchange  for cash or credit,  and (ii) the
Company  may,  without  demand or notice of any kind,  but subject to Section 7,
appropriate and apply toward the payment of such of the Liabilities, and in such
order of application,  as the Company may from time to time elect, any balances,
credits,  deposits,  accounts  or moneys of the Trust.  If any  notification  of
intended  disposition  of  any  of the  Collateral  is  required  by  law,  such
notification, if mailed, shall be deemed reasonably and properly given if mailed
at least five (5) days before such  disposition,  postage prepaid,  addressed to
the Trust,  either at the  address  of the Trust  shown  below,  or at any other
address of the Trust  appearing on the records of the  Company.  Any proceeds of
any disposition of Collateral  shall be applied as provided in Section 7 hereof.
All rights and remedies of the Company  expressed  hereunder  are in addition to
all other rights and remedies  possessed by it,  including those under any other
agreement or instrument relating to any of the Liabilities or security therefor.
No delay on the part of the Company in the exercise of any right or remedy shall
operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by the Company of
any right or remedy  shall  preclude  other or further  exercise  thereof or the
exercise  of any other  right or  remedy.  No action  of the  Company  permitted
hereunder  shall  impair  or affect  the  rights  of the  Company  in and to the
Collateral.

           (c)  The  Trust  agrees  that in any  sale  of any of the  Collateral
whenever an Event of Default  hereunder  shall have occurred and be  continuing,
the Company is hereby authorized to comply with any limitation or restriction in
connection  with such sale as it may be advised by counsel is necessary in order
to avoid any violation of law (including,  without  limitation,  compliance with
such  procedures  as  may  restrict  the  number  of  prospective   bidders  and
purchasers,  require that such  prospective  bidders and purchasers have certain
qualification,  and restrict such prospective  bidders and purchasers to persons
who will  represent and agree that they are purchasing for their own account for
investment  and  not  with  a  view  to  the  distribution  or  resale  of  such
Collateral),  or in order to obtain any required  approval of the sale or of the
purchaser by any governmental  regulatory  authority or official,  and the Trust
further  agrees  that  such  compliance  shall not  result  in such  sale  being
considered or deemed not to have been made in a commercially  reasonable manner,
nor shall

                                                        -5-

the Company be liable nor  accountable to the Trust for any discount  allowed by
the reason of the fact that such  Collateral is sold in compliance with any such
limitation or restriction.

           (d)  Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary herein or in the Trust
Note or the Loan Agreement  contained or implied,  if an Event of Default occurs
with  respect  to the  Trust  Loan by the  Trust,  the  value  of  Trust  assets
transferred in satisfaction thereof shall not exceed the amount of such default.
In addition,  such a transfer of such Trust assets shall only occur upon, and to
the extent of the  failure  of, the Trust to meet the  payment  schedule  of the
Trust Loan provided in Article II of the Loan Agreement.

           Section  7.   Application  of  Proceeds  of  Sale  or  Cash  Held  as
Collateral.  The proceeds of sale of  Collateral  sold  pursuant to the terms of
Section 6 hereof and/or,  after an Event of Default, the cash held as Collateral
hereunder,  shall  be  applied  by the  Company,  to  the  extent  permitted  by
applicable law, as follows:

                  First:  to  payment  of the costs and  expenses  of such sale,
         including the  out-of-pocket  costs and expenses of the Company and the
         reasonable  fees  and  out-of-pocket  costs  and  expenses  of  counsel
         employed in  connection  therewith,  and to the payment of all advances
         made by the  Company  for the  account of the Trust  hereunder  and the
         payment of all costs and expenses incurred by the Company in connection
         with the  administration  and  enforcement  of this  Agreement,  to the
         extent  that  such  advances,  costs and  expenses  shall not have been
         reimbursed to the Company;

                  Second:  to the payment in full of the Liabilities; and

                  Third: the balance,  if any, of such proceeds shall be paid to
         the Trust,  its  successors  and  assigns,  or as a court of  competent
         jurisdiction may direct.

           Section  8.  Authority  of  Company.  The  Company  shall have and be
entitled to exercise all such powers hereunder as are specifically  delegated to
the Company by the terms  hereof,  together  with such powers as are  incidental
thereto.  The  Company may  execute  any of its duties  hereunder  by or through
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
its duties hereunder. Neither the Company, nor any director, officer or employee
of the  Company,  shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by
it or them  hereunder  or in  connection  herewith,  except for its or their own
gross negligence or wilful  misconduct.  The Trust hereby agrees,  to the extent
permitted by applicable law, to reimburse the Company,  on demand, for all costs
and expenses  incurred by the Company in connection with the enforcement of this
Agreement  (including  costs and expenses  incurred by any agent employed by the
Company).

           Section 9.  Termination.  This Agreement shall terminate when all the
Liabilities have been fully paid and performed,  at which time the Company shall
reassign and redeliver (or cause to be reassigned and redelivered) to the Trust,
or to such person or persons as the Trust shall designate,

                                                        -6-

against  receipt,  such of the  Collateral  (if  any) as  shall  not  have  been
theretofore  released,  sold or otherwise applied by the Company pursuant to the
terms  hereof  and  shall  still  be held by it  hereunder,  together  with  any
appropriate instruments of reassignment and release. Any such reassignment shall
be without recourse upon, or representation or warranty by, the Company.

           Section  10.  Required  Release of  Collateral.  Notwithstanding  any
provision of this Agreement or the Loan  Agreement to the contrary,  the Company
from time to time will release from the pledge and security  interest  under the
Loan Agreement,  such Collateral as must be allocated to participants  under the
Plan pursuant to Section  8.7(h) of the Plan and otherwise  under the Code,  the
Exempt Loan Rules or other applicable law.

           Section  11.  Limited  Recourse.   Notwithstanding  anything  to  the
contrary  herein  or in  the  Trust  Note,  the  Loan  Agreement  or  any  other
instrument, agreement or document contained or implied, the Liabilities shall be
enforceable to the extent  permitted under  applicable law,  including,  without
limitation,  the Exempt Loan Rules,  only against the Trust to the extent of the
Collateral not theretofore  released from the pledge and security interest under
this Agreement as provided herein and contributions (other than contributions of
employer securities) made to the Trust in accordance with the Plan to enable the
Trust to pay and satisfy the Liabilities  and from earnings  attributable to the
Shares and the investment of such contributions (collectively,  the "'Trust Loan
Collateral").  No  recourse  shall be had to or against  the Trust or the assets
thereof  (other  than the Trust Loan  Collateral)  for any  deficiency  judgment
against the Trust for the purpose of obtaining payment or other  satisfaction of
the Liabilities.  Without limiting the foregoing, the Trustee of the Trust shall
have no personal liability for any of the Liabilities, other than as required by
or arising under applicable law.

           Section 12. Notices.  All  communications and notices hereunder shall
be in  writing  and,  if  mailed,  shall  be  deemed  to be given  when  sent by
registered or certified mail, postage prepaid,  return receipt requested,  or by

terms,  covenants and conditions hereof,  shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties  hereto,  and their  respective  successors  and assigns,

in its  capacity  as Trustee  ("Trustee")  of the Trust  under  Union  Community

         their  beneficiaries  and bears  interest  at a rate not in excess of a
         reasonable  rate  and  that  the  terms  of the  loan  are at  least as
         favorable  to the  Trust  and the ESOP  participants  as the terms of a
         comparable  loan  resulting  from  arm's-length   negotiations  between
         completely independent parties;

                  (ii) the other  representations  and  warranties  of the Trust
         contained in the Loan Agreement are true in all material respects as of

         Agreement,  to the extent their satisfaction depends upon action on the
         part of the Trust or the Trustee, have been satisfied as of the date of
         this Certificate.
