Narrative:

During our climb out I (pilot not flying) noticed the itt rising beyond limits on the number two engine and immediately pointed it out. The itt continued to climb steadily and torque was decreasing with the power setting constant. We decided to secure the engine due to the current trend in power and temperature characteristics. We coordinated with dispatch to divert; this was relayed through the airport agents. ATC was notified; an emergency was declared and fire crash rescue was waiting for us in another nearby airport. We landed with calm winds. The aircraft was brought to a stop at the end of the runway and shutdown. Passengers were de-boarded and the aircraft was towed from the runway. During the post flight inspection we found a large amount of oil leaking from the engine and the propeller was seized up.
