OLD NATIONAL BANCORP
5.00% SENIOR NOTES DUE 2010

     This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the Company, designated as the Company’s “5.00% Senior Notes due 2010,” initially issued in an aggregate principal amount of $50,000,000, all issued and to be issued in one or more series under the indenture (as supplemented by the First Indenture Supplement thereto, dated as of May 20, 2005, between the Company and the Trustee, the “Indenture”), dated as of July 23, 1997, between the Company and J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association (as successor to Bank One NA), as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes, and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.

     Additional Notes on terms and conditions identical to those of the Notes (except for any differences in the issue price and issue date) may be issued by the Company without the consent of the Holders of the Outstanding Notes in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture. Any Additional Notes shall rank equally and ratably with the Notes and shall be treated as a single series for all purposes under the Indenture.

     Interest on this Note payable on an Interest Payment Date will accrue from and including the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, or from and including May 20, 2005 if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, to but excluding the applicable Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date, as the case may be. Interest on this Note will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. If any Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, then the payment required to be made on such date will, instead, be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if it were made on the date such payment was due, and no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable from and after such Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date, as the case may be. As used herein, the term “Business Day” means any day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday on which banking institutions or trust companies in The City of New York are authorized or obligated by law or regulation to close.

     Subject to certain limitations in the Indenture, if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may declare the principal of all the Notes to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders).

     Subject to certain exceptions requiring the consent of each Holder affected, the Indenture or the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes affected, and compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and any past default under the Indenture (except a default in the payment of the principal of or interest on the Notes or in respect of a covenant or provision which under the terms of the Indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent of each Holder affected) may be waived with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes. Without notice to or the consent of any

A-4


 

Holder, the parties to the Indenture may amend or supplement the Indenture or the Notes to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency.

     The Notes are not subject to redemption by the Company prior to the Maturity Date or to repayment at the option of the Holder before that date, and are not entitled to any sinking fund.

     As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Security Register, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, or at such office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or by his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

     The Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 or any integral multiple thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of this series of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

     No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

     Prior to and at the time of due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

     Beneficial interests in the Notes will be shown only on, and transfers thereof will be effected only through, records maintained by the Depository and its participants. Owners of beneficial interests in the Notes will not be entitled to receive Notes in definitive form and will not be considered Holders of Notes unless the Depository notifies the Company in writing that it is no longer willing, able or eligible to act as a depository and the Company does not appoint a successor depository within 90 days, or if the Company determines not to have the Notes represented by global Securities or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Notes. In such circumstances, upon surrender by the Depository or a successor depository of the global Securities, Notes in definitive form will be issued to each beneficial owner of the related Notes in fully registered form without coupons, in minimum denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof. Such definitive Notes shall be registered in such name or names as the Depository shall instruct the Trustee. If definitive Notes are so delivered, the Company may make such changes to the form of the Note as are necessary or appropriate to allow for the issuance of such definitive Notes.

     All terms used in this Note that are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture

A-5


 

and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders of Notes are referred to the Indenture, all indentures supplemental thereto and said Act for a statement of such terms.
