claims, actions or proceedings by any local municipality, sewage district or

any of the Environmental Laws and, except as set forth in the Disclosure
Schedule, to the best of Shelby County's, SCSB's and the Subsidiaries'
knowledge, there is no basis or grounds for any such claim, action or
proceeding. Except as set forth in the Disclosure Schedule, to the best of
Shelby County's, SCSB's and the Subsidiaries' knowledge, no environmental
clearances or other governmental environmental approvals are required for the
conduct of Shelby County's, SCSB's or either of the Subsidiaries' business or
consummation of the Merger. Except as set forth in the Disclosure Schedule, to
the best of Shelby County's, SCSB's and the Subsidiaries' knowledge, neither
Shelby County, SCSB nor either of the Subsidiaries is the owner, and has not
been in the chain of title or the operator or lessee, of any property on which
any substances have been used, stored, deposited, treated, recycled or disposed

-13-
<PAGE> 14
(c) Neither Shelby County, SCSB nor either of the Subsidiaries (i)
is in default in any respect under any agreements pursuant to which it leases
real or personal property, (ii) has knowledge of any default under such
agreements by any party thereto and (iii) has knowledge of any event which,
with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default or a breach
thereof.
4.12. Loans and Investments. (a) Except as set forth in the
Disclosure Schedule, SCSB has no loan in excess of $5,000 that has been
classified by regulatory examiners or management of SCSB as "Substandard,"
"Doubtful" or "Loss" or in excess of $5,000 that has been identified by
accountants or auditors (internal or external) as having a significant risk of
uncollectability. The most recent loan watch list of SCSB and a list of all
loans in excess of $5,000 that SCSB has determined to be ninety (90) days or
more past due with respect to principal or interest payments or has placed on
nonaccrual status are set forth in the Disclosure Schedule.
(b) All loans reflected in the Shelby County Financial Statements
as of September 30, 1997 and which have been made, extended, renewed,
restructured, approved, amended or acquired since September 30, 1997 (i) have
been made for good, valuable and adequate consideration in the ordinary course
of business; (ii) to the best of SCSB's knowledge, constitute the legal, valid
and binding obligation of the obligor and any guarantor named therein, except
to the extent limited by general principles of equity and public policy or by
bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, liquidation,
moratorium, readjustment of debt or other laws of general application relative
to or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights; (iii) are evidenced by
notes, instruments or other evidences of indebtedness which are true, genuine

perfected security interests or recorded mortgages naming SCSB as the secured
party or mortgagee.
(c) The reserves, the allowance for possible loan and lease losses
and the carrying value for real estate owned which are shown on the Shelby
County Financial Statements are adequate in all respects under the requirements
of generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis to
provide for possible losses on items for which reserves were made, on loans and
leases outstanding and real estate owned as of the respective dates. To the
best knowledge of SCSB, the aggregate loan balances outstanding as of September
30, 1997, in excess of the reserve for loan losses as of such date, are
collectible in accordance with their respective terms.
(d) Shelby County and SCSB have complied in all material respects
with all laws, statutes, rules, regulations and other legal requirements
relating to its loans such that any failure to so comply will not interfere
with the collection of any loan or provide to any borrower any right, claim or
action against Shelby County or SCSB. Except as set forth in the Disclosure
Schedule, to the best of Shelby County's and SCSB's knowledge, no property in
which SCSB has an interest as collateral to secure a loan or that is held as an
asset of any trust violates any of the Environmental Laws or obligates Shelby
County or SCSB, or the owner or operator of such property, to remediate, treat
or otherwise alter the environmental condition of such property.

statutory, which materially impairs the ability of Shelby County, SCSB or
either of the Subsidiaries to dispose freely of such investment at any time.

Subsidiaries of any claim of attorney-client privilege), and will permit Blue
River and its respective representatives or agents to discuss such information
directly with any individual or firm performing auditing or accounting
functions for Shelby County, SCSB or either of the Subsidiaries, and such
auditors and accountants shall be directed to furnish copies of any reports or
financial information as developed to Blue River or its auditors or
accountants. No investigation or review by Blue River (whether conducted

warranties made by Shelby County or SCSB herein or the information contained in
any document provided hereunder, and Blue River shall be entitled to rely on
such representations, warranties and documents notwithstanding any such

fairly the financial condition and results of operations as of the dates and
for the periods presented. The Subsequent Shelby County Financial Statements
will not include any assets, liabilities or obligations or omit to state any

which inclusion or omission would render such financial statements inaccurate,
incomplete or misleading in any material respect.

(except as otherwise expressly provided therein) nor the provision of any
employee benefits by Blue River or any of its subsidiaries to employees of

contract, agreement or understanding with or employment rights for, or
constitute a commitment or obligation of employment to, any of the officers or
employees of Shelby County, SCSB and the Subsidiaries or (ii) except as

Mr. Meyerholtz.
6.12. Certain Actions. Neither Shelby County, SCSB nor either of
the Subsidiaries shall intentionally or knowingly take, cause to be taken or
fail to take any action which will cause or result in a misrepresentation or a
breach of a covenant or warranty of this Agreement that will give Blue River
the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01(b) hereof or
which will result in a condition precedent to consummation of the Merger not to
be satisfied or fulfilled.

and agree that Blue River, in its sole discretion, may change the structure of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that any

shareholders that such shareholders approve this Agreement and the Merger.
7.02. SEC Registration. Blue River shall file with the SEC as soon
as practicable after the execution of this Agreement a Registration Statement

Registration Statement and each such other filing and provide an opportunity to
comment thereon.
7.03. Blue River Benefit Plans. (a) General. Blue River will make
available to the employees of SCSB who continue as employees of SCSB after the
Effective Time such employee benefits as the Board of Directors of Blue River
may determine to provide to employees from time to time. Until such time as
the employees of SCSB become eligible to participate in or eligible to be
covered by Blue River's employee pension benefit plans or employee welfare
benefit plans, employees of SCSB who would otherwise be eligible to participate
in or be covered by the employee pension benefit and employee welfare benefit
plans of Blue River under the terms thereof shall remain participants in or
covered by the employee pension benefit plans and employees welfare benefit
plans of Shelby County in existence at the Effective Time, subject to the terms
of such plans, to the extent provided by such plans of Shelby County.
Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, Blue River
shall not be obligated to provide any employee benefit plans to employees of
SCSB following the Merger who meet the applicable eligible requirements except
for the Blue River Profit Sharing Plan (as hereinafter defined) and group
health and hospitalization insurance.
(b) Eligibility and Vesting. Years of service, as defined in the
applicable Blue River employee welfare or pension benefit plan, with SCSB prior

Employees' Savings and Profit Sharing Plan ("Blue River Profit Sharing Plan").
The employees of SCSB shall become covered by Blue River's employee pension and
welfare benefit plans at such time(s) as shall be specified by Blue River in
its sole discretion, subject to Section 7.03(a) hereof. The service credit

specifies pursuant to the preceding sentence. Those officers and employees of
SCSB who otherwise meet the eligibility requirements of the designated plan,
based upon their age and years of service for SCSB and Blue River, shall become
participants thereunder on the entry date which coincides with or next follows
the specified date. Those officers and employees of SCSB who do not meet the
eligibility requirements of the designated plan on such date shall become
participants thereunder on the first plan entry date which coincides with or
next follows the date on which such eligibility requirements are satisfied.

participants' benefits under SCSB's Financial Institutions Retirement Fund
("SCSB Retirement Plan") shall be frozen effective as of December 31st of the
year in which the Effective Time occurs, and all accrued benefits of
participants in the SCSB Retirement Plan shall thereupon become fully vested.
To the extent permitted by the SCSB Retirement Plan and applicable law, the
accrued benefit of each participant in the SCSB Retirement Plan shall be held
and remain under the SCSB Retirement Plan and shall be payable at the time(s)
and in the forms provided for under that plan. Blue River shall be responsible
for the withdrawal of SCSB from the SCSB Retirement Plan and for making any
required or appropriate application to the Service for a determination letter
to the effect that such withdrawal does not adversely affect the tax-qualified
status of such plan and for providing any notices to the Pension Benefit
Guaranty Corporation or other governmental entity regarding the withdrawal.
SCSB shall make contributions to the SCSB Retirement Plan through the date of
such withdrawal only to the extent required to maintain the plan's
tax-qualified status and avoid any federal income taxes or penalties
attributable to the plan's funding status.
7.04. Press Releases. Except as required by law, Blue River shall
not issue any press releases or make any other public announcements or
disclosures relating primarily to Shelby County, SCSB or either of the
Subsidiaries with respect to the Merger without the prior consent of Shelby
County, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

cause to be made such reasonable investigation of the operations, books,
records and properties of Blue River and of its financial and legal condition
as Shelby County shall deem reasonable necessary or advisable to familiarize
itself with such books, records, properties and other matters; provided,
however, that such access or investigation shall not interfere unnecessarily
with the normal operations of Blue River. No investigation or review by Shelby

9.01(c)(iv) hereof.
(b) The Termination Fee shall be immediately paid to Shelby
County upon the termination of this Agreement by Shelby County pursuant to
Section 9.01(c) hereof. If the Termination Fee is not immediately paid as
provided, then Shelby County shall be entitled to recover interest at the
highest prime rate set forth in The Wall Street Journal (Midwest Edition) under
the section entitled "Money Rates" on the unpaid amount of the Termination Fee
from the time the Termination Fee is due until paid-in-full, together with all
costs of collection thereof, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses.
