Companies' personal property, or Companies' interest in personal property, which

The holder of this Note, in its sole discretion, may renew this Note,
accept a renewal note or notes, extend the time for the payment of the
indebtedness evidenced by this Note, reduce the payments under this Note, or do
any combination of such actions on any number of occasions; provided, however,
any such action shall not release the Companies or any endorser, accommodation
party or guarantor from any liability on the obligation evidenced by this Note.
Companies and any endorser, accommodation party or guarantor of this Note each
waive presentment for payment, protest, notice of protest, notice of nonpayment
or dishonor of this Note and diligence in the collection of this Note; and each
of them consents to any actions by Bank or any holder of this Note as set forth
in this paragraph.
By signing or guaranteeing this Note, each and every guarantor, surety,
endorser, and accommodation party of the obligations contained herein shall be
deemed to and shall have irrevocably waived and relinquished (i) the benefit of
any and all defenses to enforcement of this Note, any counterclaim, offset or
claim in recoupment, based upon contract, arising at equity, or under any state
or federal law regarding suretyship or guaranty generally; or (ii) any discharge
provided in Indiana Code ss. 26-1-3.1-605, or other state or federal statute of
similar import. Consistent with this waiver, and not by way of limitation, the
person or persons entitled to enforce this instrument may, at any time and
without notice to any guarantor, surety, endorser or accommodation party of the
obligations contained in this Note, (i) extend the maturity date of this Note;
(ii) adjust any and all terms of this Note, even if such adjustment materially
alters the obligation; (iii) take any action (or not take any action) with
respect to any collateral for this Note, including without limitation, releasing
or diminishing (intentionally or otherwise) the extent or value of such
collateral.
No failure by Bank to exercise any right under this Note, including any
rights resulting from an Event of Default (as that term is defined in the Loan
Agreement), shall operate as a waiver or otherwise prevent Bank from exercising
any of its rights under this Note at any other time, including the exercise by
Bank of any rights at any time during the continuance of such Event of Default
or on the occurrence of a subsequent Event of Default.
Companies agree that Bank shall be entitled to rely on any written,
oral or telephonic communication requesting a financial accommodation under this
Note which may be received by Bank from any person reasonably believed by Bank
to be an authorized representative of Morgan Drive Away, Inc., TDI, Inc. or
Interstate Indemnity Company. Records of Bank shall be deemed by Companies and
Bank to be sufficient evidence of credit extended under this Note.

subject to all of the terms, conditions, and provisions of the Loan Agreement
and any extensions, renewals, modifications or amendments of or to the Loan
Agreement; and this Note and any extensions or renewals of this Note is related
