SEVERANCE AGREEMENT

THIS SEVERANCE AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made and entered into this 1^st day of January, 2005, by and between Old National Bancorp (including all subsidiaries and affiliates) (the "Company") and Robert G. Jones (the "Executive").

WHEREAS, the Company desires to assure continuity of its management, to enable its executives to devote their full attention to management responsibilities and to help the Board of Directors assess options and advise as to the best interest of the Company and its shareholders without being influenced by the uncertainties of their own situations, and to demonstrate to executives the interests of the Company in their well-being and fair treatment in the event of a termination without cause by the Company; and

WHEREAS, to that end, the Company desires to assure the Executive that he will receive certain benefits in the case of the Executive's termination without cause by the Company.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises contained herein, continued employment on an at-will basis and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Executive and the Company agree as follows:

1. Term. The initial term of this Agreement shall begin on January 1, 2005, and continue for a two (2) year period ending December 31, 2006 (the "Term"), unless terminated or extended as hereinafter provided. This Agreement shall be subject to an annual review and may be extended for successive one (1) year terms (each, an "Additional Term") by mutual agreement of the parties; provided the Company shall give the Executive notice of its intent to renew or not renew this Agreement no later than twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the initial Term or any Additional Term hereunder; and, provided further, if the Company shall fail to so provide said notice, this Agreement shall automatically continue for one (1) additional year (an "Extension Term"). This Agreement shall automatically terminate without notice or payments hereunder if the Executive shall resign, retire, become permanently and totally disabled, or die, or the Company experiences a "Change of Control" as defined in the Change of Control Agreement between the Executive and the Company dated as of January 1, 2005 (the "Change of Control Agreement"). Under no circumstance will the Executive be entitled to benefits under both this Agreement and the Change of Control Agreement. Additionally, this Agreement shall terminate without further notice or payments hereunder if the Company terminates the Executive for Cause (as defined in Section 3(a)(i) hereof).
2. Termination of Employment; Resignation of Officer and Director Positions. The Executive shall be relieved of any and all responsibilities with the Company, and his employment relationship with the Company will cease and terminate effective upon the Termination Date. The Executive resigns any and all officer, director and other positions with the Company and its affiliates effective upon the Termination Date (as hereinafter defined).
3. Severance Benefit. (a) Subject to the receipt of the Release contemplated by Section 9 hereof and the expiration of any applicable waiting periods, the Company shall provide the Executive with the benefits set forth in this Section 3 upon any termination of the Executive's employment by the Company which occurs during the Term or any Additional Term or Extension Term for any reason except the following:
1. Termination for Cause:

"Cause" shall be defined as (A) action by the Executive involving willful misconduct or gross negligence materially injurious to the Company, (B) the requirement or direction of a federal or state regulatory agency having jurisdiction over the Company, (C) conviction of the Executive of the commission of any criminal offense involving dishonesty or breach of trust, or (D) any intentional breach by the Executive of a material term, condition or covenant of this Agreement;

2. Disability of the Executive, as determined under the policies and procedures of the Company as in effect from time to time. Termination pursuant to this Section 3(a)(ii) shall not affect any rights which the Executive may have under any disability policy or program of the Company;
3. Voluntary retirement of the Executive in accordance with policies and procedures of the Company in effect from time to time;
4. Resignation or termination of employment by the Executive except as otherwise may be provided pursuant to Section 3(b) hereof;
5. In connection with or following a Change of Control as defined in the Change of Control Agreement; provided that the Executive will receive benefits under the Change of Control Agreement or other similar agreement or plan; or
6. Death of the Executive.
2. Subject to receipt of the Release contemplated by Section 9 hereof and the expiration of any applicable waiting periods, the Company shall also provide the Executive with the benefits set forth in this Section 3 if, subject to the Company's ability to cure pursuant to Section 3(e), during the Term or any Additional Term or Extension Term the Executive terminates this Agreement no later than ninety (90) days after the happening of one or more of the following events:
1. Without the express written consent of the Executive, the assignment of the Executive to any duties materially inconsistent with his positions, duties, responsibilities, or status with the Company as of the date hereof or a substantial reduction of his duties or responsibilities, or any removal of the Executive from, or any failure to re-elect the Executive to, any positions held by the Executive as of the date hereof;
2. A reduction by the Company in the compensation or benefits of the Executive in effect as of the date hereof, or any failure to include the Executive with other similarly situated employees in any incentive, bonus or benefit plans as may be offered by the Company from time to time; or
3. A requirement that without the consent of the Executive, the Executive be based anywhere other than within fifty (50) miles from his personal residence, except for required travel pertaining to the Company's business in accordance with the Company's management practices in effect from time to time.
3. Lump Sum Payment. Following receipt by the Company of the Release contemplated by Section 9 hereof and the expiration of any applicable waiting periods, the Company shall pay to the Executive a lump sum single payment, in cash or cash equivalent funds, equal to the Executive's Week of Pay multiplied by one hundred four (104). "Week of Pay" means Compensation divided by fifty-two (52). "Compensation" means, as of the date of the notice of termination, the Executive's annual base salary then in effect, plus the targeted cash incentive that the Executive would have been eligible to receive in the year in which the Termination Date occurs. "Years of Service" means the number of years of Service. A partial year will be rounded up to the next year. Payment of accrued vacation at termination does not extend the Executive's Years of Service. Any lump sum payment hereunder is in addition to monies already owed the Executive by the Company and is in consideration for the covenants set forth in this Agreement and the Release hereunder. Any earned but unpaid portion of the Executive's base salary, at the Executive's then-effective annual rate, through the Termination Date plus any amounts due to the Executive under the accrued vacation program of the Company due to him through the Termination Date shall be paid to the Executive in the next payroll check regardless of whether the Executive delivers the Release.
4. Other Employee Benefits. Any benefits (other than severance) payable to the Executive due to the termination of his employment shall be paid to the Executive in accordance with the benefit payment provisions of the applicable employee benefit plan.
5. Notice of Termination. Any termination of the Executive's employment for the reasons set forth in Section 3(a) (except for reason of the Executive's death) or by the Executive for the reasons set forth in Section 3(b) shall be communicated by written "Notice of Termination" by the Company or the Executive, as applicable, delivered in a manner provided in Section 12(f) hereof. Any "Notice of Termination" given by the Executive pursuant to Section 3(b), or given by the Company in connection with a termination as to which the Company believes it is not obligated to provide the Executive with the benefits set forth in this Section 3, shall indicate the specific provision in this Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for such termination. The Company shall have thirty (30) days after the receipt of the Notice of Termination given by the Executive pursuant to Section 3(b) to cure the facts and circumstances relied upon by the Executive to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 3(b). "Termination Date" for the purposes of this Agreement shall mean the date on which such "Notice of Termination" is given by the Executive or the date set forth as the Termination Date in a Notice of Termination given by the Company.
4. Non-Solicitation. The Executive agrees that during the Term and for a period of two (2) years following the termination of the Executive's employment for any reason, the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly individually or jointly, (i) solicit in any manner, seek to obtain or service, or accept the business of any party which is a customer of the Company as of the date of the Agreement, for banking, trust, insurance and investment services of the type handled by the Company, (ii) solicit in any manner, seek to obtain or service, or accept the business of any party which is a prospective customer of the Company for banking, trust, insurance and investment services of the type handled by the Company, (iii) request or advise any customers or suppliers of the Company to terminate, reduce, limit or change their business or relationship with the Company, or (iv) induce, request or attempt to influence any employee of the Company to terminate his or her employment with the Company. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "customer" shall mean a person or entity who is a customer of the Company at the time of the Executive's termination of employment or with whom the Executive had direct contact on behalf of the Company at any time during the period of the Executive's employment with the Company. The term "prospective customer" shall mean a person or entity who was the direct target of sales or marketing activity by the Executive or whom the Executive knew was a target of the Company during the one (1) year period preceding the Executive's termination of employment or, in the event the Executive has been employed by the Company less than one (1) year at the Executive's termination of employment, during the period of the Executive's employment with the Company.
5. Covenant Not to Compete or be Employed by Competitors. The Executive hereby understands and acknowledges that, by virtue of his or her position with the Company, the Executive obtained advantageous familiarity and personal contacts with the Company's customers, wherever located, and the business, operations and affairs of the Company. Accordingly, during the term of this Agreement and for a period of two (2) years following the termination of the Executive's employment for any reason, the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly:
1. as owner, officer, director, stockholder, investor, proprietor, organizer, or otherwise, engage in the same trade or business as the Company, or in a trade or business competitive with that of the Company; provided, however that the Executive is not restricted from owning more than five percent (5%) of the outstanding securities of any class of any entity that are listed on a national securities exchange or trade in the over-the-counter market; or
2. as employee, agent, representative, consultant, independent contractor, or otherwise, perform services for or render assistance to or use or permit the Executive's name to be used in connection with any other business, partnership, proprietorship, firm, or competitive entity, organization, or corporation, whose business, services or products are related to, or competitive with, the same trade, business, products, or services as those of the Company; or
3. offer to provide employment (whether such employment is with the Executive or any other business or enterprise), either on a full-time or part-time or consulting basis, to any person who then currently is, or who within one (1) year prior to such offer or provision of employment has been, an employee of the Company.

The restrictions contained in this paragraph upon the activities of the Executive shall be limited to the following geographic areas:

1. a fifty (50) mile radius from the following cities: Evansville, Terre Haute, Indianapolis and Muncie in the State of Indiana; Louisville and Owensboro in the State of Kentucky; Danville and Carbondale in the State of Illinois; St. Louis in the State of Missouri; and Clarksville in the State of Tennessee; and
2. all counties in which the Company has customers or has solicited prospective customers during the one (1) year period prior to the Termination Date.

As of the date hereof, the Company engages in the business of banking, trust, mortgage, title, wealth management, insurance and investment services.

6. Confidential Information. (a) The Executive agrees (i) that all Confidential Information (as hereinafter defined) is confidential and is the property of the Company, (ii) not to disclose or give possession of any Confidential Information to any person except authorized representatives of the Company, (iii) not to directly or indirectly use any Confidential Information (A) to compete against the Company, or (B) for the Executive's own benefit or for the benefit of any person other than the Company, and (iv) to promptly return to the Company following the termination of the Executive's employment, at the Company's corporate office, all Confidential Information and other property of the Company, including but not limited to, computers, computer disks, electronic data without regard to the means of storage, credit cards, identification cards, badges, keys, and any other physical or personal property belonging to the Company, and any copies, duplicates, reproductions or excerpts of any of the foregoing, even if down loaded or copied to the Executive's personal computer, personal data assistant or other mechanism used for storing information. This Section 6 shall not preclude the Executive from disclosure or use of information known generally in the public domain other than through a breach of this Agreement or from disclosure required by law or court order.
2. The Executive understands, acknowledges and agrees that, during the course of his or her employment with the Company, the Executive gained and will continue to gain, as a key employee of the Company, substantial information regarding and competitive knowledge of and familiarity with Confidential Information of the Company and that if the Confidential Information were disclosed or the Executive engaged in competition against the Company, the Company would suffer irreparable damage and injury. The Confidential Information derives substantial economic value, among other reasons, from not being known or readily ascertainable by proper means by others who could obtain economic value from its disclosure. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Company uses reasonable means to maintain the secrecy of the Confidential Information.
3. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Confidential Information" means any and all (i) materials, records, data, documents, writings and information (whether printed, computerized, on disk or otherwise) relating or referring in any manner to the business, operations, affairs, policies, strategies, techniques, products, product developments or customers of the Company which are not generally known or available to the business, trade or industry of the Company or individuals who work therein or which are not otherwise in the public domain, in either case not through a breach of this Agreement, and (ii) trade secrets of the Company (as defined in Indiana Code Section24-2-3-2, as amended, or any successor statute).
7. Remedies. The Executive agrees that the Company will suffer irreparable damage and injury and will not have an adequate remedy at law in the event of any breach by the Executive of any provision of the Restrictive Covenants (as defined below in Section 8 hereof). Accordingly, in the event of a breach or of a threatened or attempted breach by the Executive of the Restrictive Covenants, in addition to all other remedies to which the Company is entitled under law, in equity, or otherwise, the Company shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief and no bond or other security shall be required in that connection. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that in the event of termination of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever, the Executive can obtain other engagements or employment of a kind and nature similar to that performed for the Company and that the issuance of an injunction to enforce the provisions of the Restrictive Covenants will not prevent the Executive from earning a livelihood. The Restrictive Covenants are essential terms and conditions to the Company entering into this Agreement, and shall be construed as independent of any other provision in this Agreement, or any other agreement between the Executive and the Company. The existence of any claim or cause of action the Executive has against the Company, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of the Restrictive Covenants.
8. Periods of Noncompliance and Reasonableness of Periods. The restrictions and covenants contained in Sections 4 and 5 hereof (the "Restrictive Covenants") shall be deemed not to run during all periods of noncompliance, the intention of the parties hereto being to have such restrictions and covenants apply for the full periods specified in Sections 4 and 5 hereof following the termination of the Executive's employment with the Company. The Company and the Executive acknowledge and agree that the restrictions and covenants contained in Sections 4 and 5 hereof are reasonable in view of the nature of the business in which the Company is engaged and the Executive's advantageous knowledge of and familiarity with the business, operations, affairs and customers of the Company. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if the scope of any restriction or covenant contained in Sections 4 and 5 hereof is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be too broad to permit enforcement of such restriction or covenant to its full extent, then such restriction or covenant shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law.
9. Release. (a) For and in consideration of the foregoing covenants and promises made by the Company, and the performance of such covenants and promises, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Executive agrees to release the Company of any and all changes that the Executive has or may have against the Company prior to the receipt of any benefits under Section 3 hereof by the Executive. Such release shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Release").
2. The Executive agrees that the fact and the terms of this Agreement shall be strictly confidential and that the Executive shall not divulge, directly or indirectly, explicitly or implicitly, the fact or terms of this Agreement to any person other than the Executive's spouse, attorney(s) and tax advisor(s) or as otherwise required by law. The Executive further agrees that for purposes of this Section 9, the Executive's spouse, attorney(s) and tax advisor(s) are the Executive's agents and that a breach of these terms of confidentiality by them, or any of them, shall constitute a breach by the Executive.
3. The "Company and its agents," as used in this Agreement, means the Company, its subsidiaries, affiliated, or related corporations or associations, their predecessors, successors and assigns, and the directors, officers, managers, supervisors, employees, representatives, servants, agents and attorneys of the entities above described, and all persons acting, through, under or in concert with any of them.
10. No Reliance. The Executive represents and acknowledges that in executing this Agreement, the Executive does not rely and has not relied upon any representation or statement by the Company and its agents, other than the statements which are contained within this Agreement.
11. No Admissions. This Agreement shall not in any way be construed as an admission by the Company and its agents of any acts of discrimination or other improper conduct whatsoever against the Executive or any other person, and the Company specifically disclaims any liability to or discrimination against the Executive or any other person on the part of itself, its employees or its agents.
12. Miscellaneous. (a) Further Assurances. Each of the parties hereto shall do, execute, acknowledge, and deliver or cause to be done, executed, acknowledged, and delivered at any time and from time to time upon the request of any other parties hereto, all such further acts, documents, and instruments as may be reasonably required to effect any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
2. Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that neither party hereto may assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be assigned, without the prior consent of the Executive to a successor of the Company (and the Executive hereby consents to the assignment of the Restrictive Covenants under this Agreement to a purchaser of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or a transferee, by merger or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the businesses and assets of the Company) and, upon the Executive's death, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive's executors, administrators, representatives, heirs, distributees, devisees, and legatees and all amounts payable hereunder shall be paid to such persons or the estate of the Executive.
3. Waiver; Amendment. No provision or obligation of this Agreement may be waived or discharged unless such waiver or discharge is agreed to in writing and signed by the Company and the Executive. The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of or noncompliance with any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a continuing waiver or a waiver of any other or subsequent breach or noncompliance hereunder. Except as expressly provided otherwise herein, this Agreement may be amended, modified, or supplemented only by a written agreement executed by the Company and the Executive.
4. Headings. The headings in this Agreement have been inserted solely for ease of reference and shall not be considered in the interpretation, construction, or enforcement of this Agreement.
5. Severability. All provisions of this Agreement are severable from one another, and the unenforceability or invalidity of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that should any judicial body interpreting this Agreement deem any provision to be unreasonably broad in time, territory, scope, or otherwise, the parties intend for the judicial body, to the greatest extent possible, to reduce the breadth of the provision to the maximum legally allowable parameters rather than deeming such provision totally unenforceable or invalid.
6. Notice. Any notice, request, instruction, or other document to be given hereunder to any party shall be in writing and delivered by hand, telegram, facsimile transmission, registered or certified United States mail, return receipt requested, or other form of receipted delivery, with all expenses of delivery prepaid, as follows:
