                          OLD NATIONAL BANCORP
        STOCK PURCHASE AND DISCOUNTED DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN
                     500,000 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
                             (No Par Value)

                             --------------

       The Old National Bancorp Stock Purchase and Discounted Dividend
  Reinvestment Plan ("Plan"), effective as of ___________, 1997, is
  designed to provide investors with a convenient way to purchase
  shares of no par value common stock ("Common Stock") of Old National
  Bancorp ("Company") and to reinvest all or a portion of the cash
  dividends paid on the Common Stock in additional shares of Common
  Stock.

       PARTICIPANTS IN THE PLAN MAY:

       -    Reinvest all or a portion of the cash dividends paid on
            the Common Stock credited to their Plan accounts in
            additional shares of Common Stock at a 3% discount to
            market price.

       -    Make an initial investment in Common Stock with a cash
            payment of at least $500, and additional optional
            investments of at least $50 thereafter, up to a maximum of
            $50,000 per Plan account per calendar year, including the
            initial investment.

       -    Receive, upon written request, certificates for whole
            shares of Common Stock credited to their Plan accounts.

       -    Deposit certificates representing shares of Common Stock
            into the Plan for safekeeping.

       -    Sell shares of Common Stock credited to their Plan
            accounts through the Plan.

       Shares of Common Stock will be purchased under the Plan, at the
  option of the Company, from authorized but unissued shares or shares
  purchased on the open market.  Purchases of shares on the open
  market will be effected through an independent agent appointed by
  the Company.  The Common Stock is quoted on the National Association
  of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation ("NASDAQ") National Market
  System.  The closing price of the Common Stock on _________ , 1997,
  on the NASDAQ National Market System was $_____.

       The purchase price of shares of Common Stock purchased under the
  Plan for an Investment Date or a Dividend Payment Date will be the
  closing price of the Common Stock as reported on the NASDAQ National
  Market System on such date, provided that the NASDAQ National Market
  System is open on such date. The Company will discount the purchase
  price of all shares of Common Stock acquired through reinvestment of
  cash dividends on shares of Common Stock by 3% before allocating such
  shares to the Plan participants.  The Company will pay certain of the
  costs of mailings, materials, and other administration costs of the
  Plan.  Participants must pay a $5.00 initial enrollment fee, a $10.00
  fee per transaction for selling shares through the Plan, a $20.00 fee
  for non-sufficient funds (NSF) payments and an $8.00 fee for returning
  a participant's Cash Investment or Initial Cash Investment.  These
  charges are designed to help the Company defray part of the aforementioned
  Plan expenses.  Plan participants will also bear the cost of brokerage

<PAGE>
  commissions, any related service charges, and applicable taxes
  relating to shares of Common Stock purchased or sold on the open
  market for the Plan.

       To the extent required by applicable law in certain
  jurisdictions, shares of Common Stock offered under the Plan to
  persons not presently record holders of Common Stock are offered
  only through a registered broker/dealer in such jurisdictions.

       This Prospectus contains the material provisions of the Plan
  and, therefore, this Prospectus should be retained by participants
  in the Plan ("Participants") for future reference.

  purchase shares of Common Stock with Cash Investments and Reinvested
  Dividends.

  ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF THE PLAN

   2.  WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF THE PLAN?

   A. DIRECT PURCHASE OF STOCK - Persons not presently owning shares
   of Common Stock may become Shareholders of Record by making an
   Initial Cash Investment of at least $500 (but not more than
   $50,000 per Plan account per calendar year) or by enrolling in the

<PAGE>

   B.  SELL STOCK - Participants may direct the sale of shares held
   in their Plan account through the Plan (but not more than 100
   shares per month per Plan account).  See Questions 34 and 35.

   C.  CERTIFICATE SAFEKEEPING - Participants may deposit their
   certificates representing shares of Common Stock with the Company,
   whether or not the Common Stock represented by such certificates
   was purchased through the Plan, and have their ownership of such
   shares maintained on the Company's records in their Plan account.
   This convenience is provided at no cost to Participants and
   eliminates the possibility of loss, inadvertent destruction, or
   theft of certificates.  See Question 33.

   D.  DISCOUNTED REINVESTMENT OF DIVIDENDS - All or any portion of
   Dividends may be reinvested to purchase additional shares of
   Common Stock at a 3% discount to the purchase price of the Common

   E.  SIMPLIFIED RECORD KEEPING - An Investment Statement will be
   mailed to Participants monthly after any Plan account activity.
   For all purchase transactions, Investment Statements will be
   cumulative, providing year-to-date Plan account activity.  See
   Question 40.

   F.  REDUCED BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS - The brokerage commissions
   negotiated by the Company for buying or selling shares of Common
   Stock for or from the Plan on the open market are typically less
   than those paid by individual investors for such transactions.  No
   brokerage commissions are paid for the purchase of newly issued
   shares from the Company.  See Disadvantage E following and
   Questions 29 and 35.

   G.  TRANSFER OF SHARES - Participants may transfer shares of
   Common Stock held in their Plan account to another account at no
   cost.  The Company's normal transfer requirements will apply.  See
   Questions 32 and 46.

   H.  FULL INVESTMENT OF FUNDS - The full amount of Reinvested
   Dividends and Cash Investments can be invested because the Plan
   permits fractional shares of Common Stock to be credited to Plan
   accounts.  Dividends are paid on fractional shares as well as on
   whole shares maintained in the Plan.  See Question 30.

   I.    EMPLOYEE PURCHASES - Employees of the Company and its
   subsidiaries who are not presently Shareholders of Record may
   purchase Common Stock and become Participants in the Plan by
   making an initial cash investment of at least $50 or by enrolling
   in the Plan to purchase shares of Common Stock through payroll
   deductions of at least $5 per pay period.  See Questions 5 and 18.


   PLAN PARTICIPATION PRESENTS INVESTORS WITH THE FOLLOWING
   DISADVANTAGES:

   A.  NO INTEREST PAID ON FUNDS PENDING INVESTMENT OR RETURN - No
   interest is paid on Dividends credited or Cash Investments made to
   Plan accounts and held pending investment, reinvestment or return
   to a Participant.  See Questions 19 and 21.


   B.  RESTRICTED RETURN - Cash Investments (including Initial Cash
   Investments) sent to the Plan Administrator will not be returned
   to an investor unless a written request is received by the Plan
   Administrator at least five business days prior to the relevant
   Investment Date.  An $8.00 handling fee will be deducted from such
   funds prior to their return to defray the administrative costs of
   such a transaction.  See Questions 21 and 39.

                                   5
<PAGE>

   C.  PERIODIC DELAYS FOR ISSUING CERTIFICATES OR SELLING SHARES -
   Requests for issuance of certificates and the sale of shares from
   a Plan account will be delayed during the Dividend processing
   period.  This is a 15 - 20 business day period which begins on the
   Ex-Dividend Date.  See Questions 32, 34, 35, and 36.

   D.  BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS - While the brokerage commissions
   negotiated by the Plan Administrator for buying or selling shares
   of Common Stock for or from the Plan on the open market are
   typically less than those paid by individual investors for such
   transactions, certain investors may be able to negotiate lower
   brokerage commissions on an individual basis.  Also, brokerage
   commissions negotiated by the Plan Administrator may change from
   time to time.  See Advantage E above and Questions 29 and 35.

   E.  PRICE OF SHARES - Plan participants cannot designate to the
   Plan Administrator a specific price at which to sell or purchase
   shares of Common Stock.  See Questions 26, 29, and 34.

   F. LIMIT ON NUMBER OF SHARES SOLD -   Not more than 100 shares of
   Common Stock may be sold from a Plan account in any monthly
   period.  See Questions 34, 35 and 36.

  PLAN ADMINISTRATION

   3.  WHO ADMINISTERS THE PLAN?

  The Company will administer the Plan, keep records, send Investment
  Statements to Participants, and perform other duties related to
  administering the Plan.  Shares of Common Stock purchased under the
  Plan will be registered in the name of the Company (or its nominee),
  as Administrator, and credited to the account of individual
  Participants.  The Company may, in its sole discretion, adopt rules
  and regulations and make determinations as it desires to facilitate
  the administration of the Plan.

  Communications about the Plan should be directed to:

   Old National Bancorp
   Shareholder Services Department
   420 Main Street
   P.O. Box 929

  PARTICIPATION IN THE PLAN

   4.  WHO IS ELIGIBLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PLAN?

  Anyone interested in making an Initial Cash Investment and all
  Shareholders of Record and Company employees are eligible to
  participate in the Plan.  Citizens or residents of a country other
  than the United States or its territories and possessions should
  determine whether they are subject to any governmental regulations
  prohibiting or restricting their participation in the Plan, and must
  provide evidence satisfactory to the Administrator that their
  participation will not violate any such regulations before enrolling
  in the Plan.

  Beneficial owners of Common Stock whose shares are held in a name
  other than their own (for example, a bank, broker, or trustee) may
  participate in the Plan with respect to such shares by transferring
  the shares into their own name or by making appropriate arrangements
  with their nominee to participate in the Plan.  Once the shares are

                                   6
<PAGE>

  registered on the books of the Company or the Participant has made
  appropriate arrangements with their nominee, the beneficial owner is
  eligible to participate in the Plan.

   5.  HOW DOES AN ELIGIBLE INVESTOR ENROLL IN THE PLAN?

  After being furnished with a Plan Prospectus, Eligible Investors may
  join the Plan by completing and signing an Enrollment Form and
  returning it to the Company.  Interested Investors who are not
  Shareholders of Record must also submit an Initial Cash Investment
  of at least $500 (but not more than $50,000).  Interested Investors
  may pay the Initial Cash Investment in installments through the
  Automatic Monthly Investment feature.  See Questions 15 and 16.

  Once enrolled in the Plan, Eligible Investors will remain enrolled
  until they discontinue their participation or the Plan is
  terminated.  See Question 36, 37, and 44.

  Shareholders of Record enrolled in the Company's Dividend
  Reinvestment and Discount Stock Purchase Plan originally implemented
  in 1987 ("1987 Plan") are automatically enrolled in the Stock
  Purchase and Discounted Dividend Reinvestment Plan and are eligible
  to participate in the Plan immediately on and after ________, 1997.
  SUCH SHAREHOLDERS SHOULD CAREFULLY REVIEW THE FOLLOWING
  PARTICIPATION OPTIONS, PARTICULARLY THE  CASH INVESTMENT ONLY  AND
  SALES  FEATURES, AS THESE FEATURES HAVE BEEN MODIFIED IN THE NEW
  PLAN.  See Questions 7 through 12, 34 and 35.  Unless a Shareholder
  of Record submits a new Enrollment Form designating a different
  participation option, each such shareholder will be enrolled in the
  new Plan at a level of participation that corresponds to the level
  at which the shareholder previously participated in the 1987 Plan.
  See Questions 15, 16, and 18.

  Employees of the Company and its subsidiaries who do not presently
  own shares of Common Stock may join the Plan at any time after being
  furnished a copy of the Plan Prospectus by completing and returning
  to the Company (Attention: Shareholder Services Department) an
  Enrollment Form and making an Initial Cash Investment of at least
  $50 (but not more than $50,000).  The Company will waive the
  enrollment fee for any employees making an Initial Cash Investment.
  Employees may also join the Plan by completing a Payroll Deduction
  Authorization Form furnished by their respective entity's Human
  Resources Department.

   6.  WHEN MAY AN ELIGIBLE INVESTOR JOIN THE PLAN?

  An Eligible Investor may join the Plan at any time by completing and
  signing an Enrollment Form and returning it to the Company.

  PARTICIPATION OPTIONS

   7.  WHAT PARTICIPATION OPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE IN THE PLAN?

  On the Enrollment Form, the investor is offered the following
  participation options:

   -  Discounted Full Dividend Reinvestment
   -  Discounted Partial Dividend Reinvestment, or
   -  Cash Investment Only

  Shareholders of Record who were enrolled in the 1987 Plan should see
  the discussion in Question 5.

   8.  HOW DOES THE DISCOUNTED FULL DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT OPTION
   WORK?

  Participants enrolling in the Discounted Full Dividend Reinvestment
  option will have Dividends earned on all of their Common Stock, both
  in their Plan account and in certificated form, reinvested to
  purchase additional shares of Common Stock.  Shares purchased

                                   7
<PAGE>

  through Dividend reinvestment will be acquired on the relevant
  Dividend Payment Date at a 3% discount from the closing price of the
  Common Stock as reported on the NASDAQ National Market System on such
  date, provided that the NASDAQ National Market System is open on such
  date.

  The reinvestment of Dividends under the Plan for a Participant will
  commence with the first Dividend to which the Participant is
  entitled, payable after the first Dividend Record Date following
  enrollment in the Plan.  A Participant may also make Cash
  Investments of up to $50,000 per Plan account per calendar year to
  purchase additional shares of Common Stock.

   NOTE: IF PARTICIPANTS DO NOT INDICATE A PARTICIPATION OPTION ON
   THEIR ENROLLMENT FORM, THEIR PLAN ACCOUNT WILL BE ENROLLED IN THE
   DISCOUNTED "FULL DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT" OPTION.

   9.  HOW DOES THE DISCOUNTED  PARTIAL DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT  OPTION
   OF THE PLAN WORK?

  Participants enrolling in the Discounted Partial Dividend Reinvestment
  option can designate a specific number of shares of Common Stock for
  Dividend reinvestment, with Dividends on the balance of their shares
  to be paid in cash.  Shares purchased through Dividend reinvestment
  will be acquired on the relevant Dividend Payment Date at a 3%
  discount from the closing price of the Common Stock as reported on the
  NASDAQ National Market System, provided that the NASDAQ National
  Market System is open on such date.

  The reinvestment of Dividends under the Plan for a Participant will
  commence with the first Dividend to which the Participant is
  entitled, payable after the first Dividend Record Date following
  enrollment in the Plan.  A Participant may also make Cash
  Investments of up to $50,000 per Plan account per calendar year to
  purchase additional shares of Common Stock.

  Participants may only sell shares of common stock through the Plan
  which are held in their Plan Account in non-certificated form.
  Shares which are certificated and held by the Participant are not
  eligible for sale through the Plan.  Certificates representing
  shares of Common Stock may be returned to the Plan Administrator for
  safekeeping at any time, which would then make them eligible for
  sale through the Plan.  See Question 33.

   NOTE: DISCOUNTED PARTIAL DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT IS NOT AVAILABLE
   FOR INVESTORS MAKING AN INITIAL CASH INVESTMENT UPON ENROLLMENT IN
   THE PLAN.  ONLY AFTER A PARTICIPANT HAS ESTABLISHED A POSITION IN
   THE COMPANY'S COMMON STOCK CAN HE OR SHE DESIGNATE ONLY A SPECIFIC
   NUMBER OF SHARES FOR DISCOUNTED PARTIAL DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT.  IF
   AN INVESTOR SELECTS THIS OPTION UPON ENROLLMENT IN THE PLAN, ALL
   SHARES IN THEIR PLAN ACCOUNT WILL BE ENROLLED IN DISCOUNTED FULL
   DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT UNTIL CHANGED BY THE PARTICIPANT.

   10.  HOW DOES THE  CASH INVESTMENT ONLY  OPTION OF THE PLAN WORK?

  The Cash Investment Only option allows for the purchase of shares of
  Common Stock where the Participant does not want either Full or
  Partial Dividend Reinvestment.  By selecting the Cash Investment
  Only option, Dividends earned on all Common Stock in the
  Participant's Plan account will be paid in cash directly to the
  Participant.  Participants may also elect to have the Company direct
  deposit all Dividends into a designated account with an eligible
  financial institution.  Participants enrolling in the Cash
  Investment Only option must make an Initial Cash

                                   8
<PAGE>

  Investment of at least $500 and may also make additional optional Cash
  Investments of at least $50 per month thereafter (up to $50,000 per
  Plan account per calendar year).

   NOTE:  IF PARTICIPANTS DO NOT INDICATE A PARTICIPATION OPTION ON
   THEIR ENROLLMENT FORM, THEIR PLAN ACCOUNT WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE
   ENROLLED INTO THE DISCOUNTED  FULL DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT  OPTION.

   11. MAY PARTICIPANTS CHANGE THEIR PARTICIPATION OPTION?

  The participation option may be changed by completing and signing a
  new Enrollment Form and returning it to the Company.  The change
  will be effective as of the next Dividend Record Date following
  receipt by the Company of the new Enrollment Form.

   12. MAY THE COMPANY RESTRICT PARTICIPATION IN THE PLAN?

  The Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to restrict
  participation in the Plan.  The Company may, at any time, exercise
  this discretion if it believes that such participation may be
  contrary to the general intent of the Plan, is an attempt to
  arbitrage the discounted dividend reinvestment feature of the Plan,
  or is in violation of applicable law.


  INITIAL CASH INVESTMENTS AND CASH INVESTMENTS

   13. WHO IS ELIGIBLE TO MAKE CASH INVESTMENTS?

  Any investor, Shareholder of Record or employee of the Company or
  any of its subsidiaries who has submitted a signed Enrollment Form
  is eligible to make Cash Investments, regardless of the
  participation option chosen, subject to the monthly minimum and
  annual maximum Cash Investment restrictions.  See Question 17.

   14. WHO IS ELIGIBLE TO MAKE AN INITIAL CASH INVESTMENT?

  Any interested investor may submit a signed Enrollment Form and make
  an Initial Cash Investment, subject to the minimum and maximum
  Initial Cash Investment parameters.  See Question 17.

   15. HOW ARE INITIAL CASH INVESTMENTS AND CASH INVESTMENTS MADE?

  Initial Cash Investments and Cash Investments must be made by check,
  money order, electronic debit from a specified account, or wire
  transfer payable through a U.S. bank or other financial institution,
  in U.S. dollars, to "Old National Bancorp."  DO NOT SEND CASH.  Wire
  transfer information may be obtained from the Company, and
  interested investors will be responsible for any applicable wire
  transfer fees.  Initial Cash Investments must be accompanied by a
  completed and signed Enrollment Form; an Enrollment Form or a Cash
  Investment form provided by the Company should accompany all Cash
  Investments to ensure credit to the proper Plan account.  See
  Questions 16 and 39.

   16.  WHAT IS THE AUTOMATIC MONTHLY INVESTMENT (ELECTRONIC DEBIT)
  FEATURE OF THE PLAN, AND HOW DOES IT WORK?

  Participants may make voluntary cash payments of not less than $50
  per payment nor more than an aggregate total of $4,000 during a
  calendar month by means of a monthly automatic electronic funds
  transfer from a predesignated account with a United States financial
  institution.  Any Automatic Monthly Investment will be treated as an
  Initial Cash Investment or a Cash Investment.

                                   9
<PAGE>

  To initiate Automatic Monthly Investments, a person must complete,
  sign and return to the Company (Attention: Shareholder Services
  Department) an automatic monthly deduction form with a voided blank
  check (checking account) or deposit slip (savings account) for the
  account from which funds are to be drawn.  Automatic monthly
  deduction forms may be obtained from the Company.  Forms will be
  processed and will become effective as promptly as practicable.

  Once Automatic Monthly Investment is initiated, funds will be drawn
  from the Participant's designated financial institution account on
  the 20th day of each month, or the next succeeding business day, and
  will be invested in Common Stock beginning on the next Investment
  Date.

  Participants may change the amount of their Automatic Monthly
  Investment or the designated account from which funds are drawn by
  completing, signing and submitting to the Company (Attention:
  Shareholder Services Department) a new automatic monthly deduction
  form.  To be effective with respect to the next Investment Date,
  however, the new automatic monthly deduction form must be received
  by the Company at least twenty business days preceding the
  Investment Date for which such change is to be effective.
  Otherwise, the change will be effective the following month.
  Participants may terminate their Automatic Monthly Investment by
  notifying the Company (Attention: Shareholder Services Department)
  in writing.

   17.  IS THERE A MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM CASH INVESTMENT?

  The minimum Initial Cash Investment is $500, but is $50 for employees
  of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Subsequent Cash Investments
  must be at least $50 each.  The maximum aggregate Cash Investment
  (including the Initial Cash Investment) is $50,000 per Plan account
  per calendar year.

   18.  WHAT IS THE PAYROLL DEDUCTION FEATURE OF THE PLAN FOR
  EMPLOYEES OF THE COMPANY AND HOW DOES IT WORK?

  Employees of the Company and its subsidiaries may make voluntary
  cash payments to their Plan accounts of not less than $5 per pay
  period by means of payroll deduction.  To initiate payroll
  deduction, an employee must complete and sign a payroll deduction
  investment authorization form and return it to their respective
  Human Resources Department.  Forms will be processed and will become
  effective as promptly as practicable.

  Once an employee has begun payroll deduction, the funds from such
  payroll deduction will be invested as Cash Investments to the
  employee's Plan account.  All shares of Common Stock purchased from
  the employee's payroll deduction for his or her Plan account will be
  automatically enrolled in the Discounted Full Dividend Reinvestment
  option.

  Employees may increase, decrease or cease their payroll deduction at
  any time by giving written notice to their respective Human
  Resources Department and by completing and signing a new payroll
  deduction authorization form, indicating the changes.

  Ceasing payroll deduction or terminating employment with the Company
  and its subsidiaries WILL NOT terminate a Plan account.  Dividends
  will continue to be reinvested, and the Participant may continue to
  make voluntary cash payments as outlined in Questions 13 through 17.

   19.  WHEN WILL A PARTICIPANT'S INITIAL CASH INVESTMENT OR CASH
   INVESTMENT BE INVESTED?

  Plan purchases of Common Stock are made monthly.  Initial Cash
  Investments and Cash Investments must be received by the Company at
  least five business days prior to an Investment Date in order to be
  invested beginning on that Investment Date.  Otherwise, the Initial
  Cash Investment or Cash Investment will be held by the Company and
  invested beginning on the next Investment Date.

                                   10
<PAGE>

  Because interest is not paid on funds pending investment, it is to a
  Participant's benefit to mail their Initial Cash Investment and Cash
  Investments so they are received shortly before the deadline for the
  next Investment Date.  Funds are considered to be received when
  delivered, either by overnight delivery, courier delivery, postal
  service, electronic funds transfer or in person, during Company
  business hours to the Company's corporate headquarters (see Question
  3 for address).

  The Company reserves the right to delay honoring investment requests
  for purchasing shares until it confirms receipt of good funds from
  the Participant.  The Company also reserves the right to delay
  issuing certificates for Participants Plan Shares until it confirms
  that such shares were purchased with good funds.  However, in the
  event that a check submitted to the Company for investment is
  returned unpaid for any reason, the Plan Administrator will consider
  the request for investment of such funds null and void.  Any shares
  purchased upon the prior credit of such funds will be immediately
  removed from the Participant's Plan account.  The Plan Administrator
  will be entitled to sell those shares to satisfy any uncollected
  amounts and impose an appropriate fee.  See Question 39.  If the net
  proceeds of the sale of such shares are insufficient to satisfy the
  balance of such uncollected amounts and fees, the Plan Administrator
  will be entitled to sell additional shares of Common Stock from the
  Participant's Plan account or bill the Participant (or investor if
  not yet a Participant) to satisfy the uncollected balance.

   20.  WHEN WILL SHARES PURCHASED WITH AN INITIAL CASH INVESTMENT OR
   CASH INVESTMENTS BE ENTITLED TO RECEIVE DIVIDENDS?

  Shares of Common Stock purchased with an Initial Cash Investment or
  Cash Investments will be entitled to payment of Dividends thereon if
  the shares were credited to the Participant's Plan account prior to
  or as of a date preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for payment of any
  Dividend.

   21.  MAY A PARTICIPANT REQUEST THAT AN INITIAL CASH INVESTMENT OR
   CASH INVESTMENT BE RETURNED?

  A Participant may request, in writing, the return of an Initial Cash
  Investment or Cash Investment.  The Initial Cash Investment or Cash
  Investment will be returned, less an $8.00 administrative fee, if
  the request is received at least five business days prior to the
  next Investment Date.

   NOTE:  INTEREST IS NOT PAID ON FUNDS HELD PENDING INVESTMENT OR
   RETURN.

  DISCOUNTED REINVESTMENT OF DIVIDENDS

   22.  IS THERE A MINIMUM OR MAXIMUM AMOUNT FOR REINVESTED
   DIVIDENDS?

  Dividends designated for reinvestment through the Plan are not
  subject to a minimum or maximum dollar amount.

   23.  WHEN WILL A PARTICIPANT'S DIVIDENDS BE REINVESTED?

  A Participant's Dividends will be reinvested on the Dividend Payment
  Date.  See Questions 8 and 9.

   24.  WHEN WILL SHARES PURCHASED WITH REINVESTED DIVIDENDS BE
   ENTITLED TO RECEIVE DIVIDENDS?

  Shares of Common Stock purchased with Reinvested Dividends will be
  entitled to payment of Dividends on the next Dividend Payment Date
  following the purchase of such shares.

  PURCHASES

   25.  WHAT IS THE SOURCE OF COMMON STOCK PURCHASED THROUGH THE
   PLAN?

                                   11
<PAGE>

  Common Stock purchased through the Plan will be purchased, at the
  sole discretion of the Company, either on the open market or
  directly from the Company or through a combination of the foregoing.
  Shares purchased from the Company will be authorized but unissued
  shares.

   26.  HOW IS COMMON STOCK PURCHASED ON THE OPEN MARKET?

  Common Stock will be purchased through an independent agent
  appointed by the Company.  The independent agent will have sole
  discretion in all matters related to such purchases, including the
  day and time of purchase, purchase price paid, number of shares
  purchased, and the markets or persons through whom the purchases are
  made.

   27.  WHEN ARE SHARES PURCHASED FOR THE PLAN FOR INITIAL CASH
   INVESTMENTS AND CASH INVESTMENTS?

  Purchases of Common Stock will be made monthly on the relevant
  Investment Date. Such purchases may be made from authorized but
  unissued shares of the Company, on the NASDAQ National Market System,
  in negotiated transactions, or on any other securities exchange where
  such shares are traded, and may be subject to such terms with respect
  to price, delivery, and other terms as the Plan's independent agent
  may agree.  Neither the Company nor any Participant shall have any
  authority or power to direct the time or price at which shares may be
  purchased, except where otherwise required or advisable under any
  applicable law, or the selection of the broker or dealer through or
  from whom purchases are to be made.

   28.  WHEN WILL SHARES BE CREDITED TO A PARTICIPANT'S PLAN ACCOUNT?

  Shares will be credited to a Participant's Plan account as soon as
  practicable following the date they are purchased.

   29.  HOW IS THE PURCHASE PRICE OF COMMON STOCK FOR INITIAL CASH
  INVESTMENTS AND CASH INVESTMENTS DETERMINED?

  The purchase price of Common Stock will be the closing price of the
  Common Stock as reported on the NASDAQ National Market System on the
  relevant Investment Date, provided that the NASDAQ National Market
  System is open on such date.

  The purchase price of Common Stock for Discounted Dividend
  Reinvestment purchases is detailed in Questions 8 and 9.

   30.  HOW MANY SHARES OF COMMON STOCK WILL BE PURCHASED FOR A
  PARTICIPANT?

  The number of shares of Common Stock purchased for a Participant's
  Plan account will be equal to the Participant's Cash Investment (if
  any) for the applicable month plus Dividends available for
  reinvestment divided by the purchase price of the shares less any
  applicable discount.  The Participant's Plan account will then be
  credited with the calculated number of whole and fractional shares
  of Common Stock.

                                   12
<PAGE>

   31.  CAN A PARTICIPANT REQUEST THE PURCHASE OF A SPECIFIC NUMBER
  OF SHARES?

  Since the purchase price of the Common Stock cannot be calculated
  until the Common Stock is purchased, a Participant may not request
  or direct the Company to purchase a specific number of shares.

  CERTIFICATES

   32.  WILL CERTIFICATES BE ISSUED FOR SHARES PURCHASED THROUGH THE
  PLAN?

  Shares of Common Stock purchased through the Plan will be credited
  to the Participant's Plan account.  Certificates will not be issued
  for shares credited to Plan accounts unless the Plan Administrator
  is specifically requested in writing to do so or unless the Plan
  account is terminated.  The number of shares credited to a
  Participant's Plan account will be shown on the Investment
  Statement.  This service eliminates the need for Participant
  certificate safekeeping and protects against the loss, theft, or
  destruction of Participants stock certificates.

  Frequent certifications from Participant's Plan accounts are
  discouraged and may be assessed a fee at the sole discretion of the
  Plan Administrator.   Certificates, when issued, will be issued in
  the name(s) of the Participant(s).  Requests to issue a certificate
  into another registration must meet the Company's stock transfer
  requirements.  See Question 46.

  See Question 9 for information relating to certification of only a
  portion of a Participant's Plan shares when the Participant has
  elected the Discounted Partial Dividend Reinvestment option.

  SAFEKEEPING OF CERTIFICATES

   33.  CAN CERTIFICATES BE RETURNED TO THE COMPANY TO BE HELD IN THE
  PARTICIPANT'S PLAN ACCOUNT?

  Certificates for Common Stock may be returned to the Plan
  Administrator to take advantage of the safekeeping feature of the
  Plan.  THE CERTIFICATES SHOULD NOT BE ENDORSED, AND DELIVERY BY
  REGISTERED MAIL IS RECOMMENDED.  The certificates should be
  submitted with a new Enrollment Form with the appropriate options
  checked thereon.  Investors may submit certificates for safekeeping
  upon initial enrollment in the Plan or at any time while
  participating in the Plan.

  SALE OF SHARES

   34.  HOW MAY PARTICIPANTS SELL THEIR PLAN SHARES?

  Participants may sell from each Plan account up to 100 shares of
  Common Stock during any calendar month by submitting a written
  request to the Company.  This request should indicate the number of
  shares requested to be sold, must be signed by ALL Plan account
  owners, and must be Signature Medallion Guaranteed.  Shares acquired
  through and held in the Plan, as well as shares represented by
  certificates surrendered for safekeeping, may be sold in this
  manner.  A request to sell shares is irrevocable after it is
  received by the Company.  The Company's appointed agent will have
  sole discretion in all matters related to the sale, including the
  time of sale, sale price, and the markets or persons through whom
  the shares are sold.  Participants cannot specify a price at which
  to sell shares of Common Stock.

  Shares held outside the Plan in certificated form may not be sold
  through the Plan.  Participants may withdraw their shares from the
  Plan by requesting certification of such shares and delivery of such
  certificates to them.  Such shares may then be sold by the
  Participant as he or she chooses.  There may be a lengthy delay for
  issuing certificates if the request falls before or during a Dividend
  processing period.  See Question 2 - Disadvantage C.

                                   13
<PAGE>

  See Question 9 for information relating to the sale of only a
  portion of a Participant's Plan shares when the Participant elects
  the Discounted Partial Dividend Reinvestment option.

   NOTE:  PARTICIPANTS MAY CONTINUE TO SELL AS MANY SHARES OF COMMON
   STOCK AS THEY WISH THROUGH A BROKER ONCE SUCH SHARES ARE IN
   CERTIFICATED FORM.

   35.  WHEN WILL PLAN SHARES BE SOLD?

  Shares maintained in the Plan and requested to be sold will  be sold
  weekly, generally within five business days following receipt of the
  sale request.  However, sale requests received during a Dividend
  processing period will be delayed until the Dividend processing
  period is completed.  See Question 2 - Disadvantage C.

  A check will be issued by the Company for the proceeds of the sale
  minus any brokerage commissions, any related service charges, and
  applicable taxes, and will be made payable to the registered Plan
  account owner only.

  TERMINATION OF PLAN PARTICIPATION

   36.  HOW MAY A PARTICIPANT TERMINATE PARTICIPATION IN THE PLAN?

  Participants may terminate their participation in the Plan either by
  selling all the shares in their Plan account or by having a
  certificate issued for a specific number of whole shares held in
  their Plan account and then selling the balance of the shares.  See
  Questions 32, 34, and 35.  Certificates cannot be issued for
  fractional shares; fractional shares must be sold when terminating
  participation.

  Participants must notify the Company in writing of their intention
  to terminate their participation in the Plan, have all Plan account
  owners sign the request, and indicate whether they wish to receive a
  stock certificate or, if they hold 100 or fewer shares, to have the
  Company sell their shares.  All signatures on requests to sell
  shares in order to terminate participation in the Plan must be
  Signature Medallion Guaranteed.

  Cash Investments received prior to the request to terminate Plan
  participation will be invested beginning on the next Investment Date
  unless the Participant timely requests the return of such Cash
  Investment.  See Question 20.

  The termination of Plan participation will be delayed if the request
  is received during a Dividend processing period.  See Question 2 -
  Disadvantage C.

   37.  MAY THE COMPANY TERMINATE A PARTICIPANT'S PLAN PARTICIPATION?

  If a Participant does not maintain at least one whole share of
  Common Stock in a Plan account, the Participant's participation in
  the Plan may be terminated by the Company.  A Participant whose
  participation in the Plan has been terminated will receive a check
  for the value, as determined under the Plan, of any fractional share
  in the Plan account.

  In addition, the Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion,
  to terminate any Participant's participation in the Plan.  The
  Company may, at any time, exercise its discretion to terminate a
  Participant's participation if it believes that such participation
  may be contrary to the general intent of the Plan, constitutes an
  attempt to arbitrage the discounted dividend reinvestment feature of
  the Plan, or is or may be in violation of applicable law.  The
  Participant terminated under this provision will receive a
  certificate for whole shares of Common Stock and a check for the
  cash value of any fractional shares held in the Plan account.

   38.  WHAT AMOUNT WILL BE DISTRIBUTED TO A PARTICIPANT WHO OWNS 100
  OR FEWER SHARES IN THE PLAN AND REQUESTS LIQUIDATION OF ALL PLAN
  SHARES?

                                   14

  A check representing the sale price of the shares, less any
  brokerage commission, any withholding required under applicable tax
  laws and a $10.00 service charge to help defer the administrative
  costs of the transaction.  See Questions 34 and 39.

  COSTS

   39.  WHAT COSTS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH PARTICIPATION IN THE PLAN?

  The fees and charges for Plan transactions are as follows:

      DESCRIPTION                    AMOUNT
      -----------                    ------
      Enrollment Fee                 $5.00 (upon initial enrollment only)

      Service Charge for Selling
       Plan Shares                   $10.00

      Charge for Checks or
       Electronic Funds Transfer
       Debits from Bank Accounts
       Rejected because of
       Nonsufficient Funds (NSF)     $20.00

      Processing Fee for the
       Return of Cash Investments
       and Initial Cash Investments  $8.00

      Any applicable wire transfer fees

  The Company pays most of the costs of mailings, materials and other
  administration costs of the Plan.  All fees and charges for the Plan
  are subject to change upon notice to Participants.  Because of the
  structure of the fees and charges, the cost on a per share basis of
  purchasing or selling shares decreases as the number of shares
  purchased or sold under the Plan increases.  Participants should
  consider the impact of the costs of any transactions under the Plan
  on investment returns.

  REPORTS TO PARTICIPANTS

   40.  WHAT REPORTS ARE SENT TO PARTICIPANTS?

  Participants will receive an Investment Statement monthly after an
  investment, sale, transfer, or withdrawal occurs in their Plan
  account.  In a dividend payment month, Participants will receive
  only one statement which will include all relevant investment and
  dividend information.  THIS STATEMENT WILL PROVIDE DETAILED ACCOUNT
  INFORMATION AND SHOULD BE RETAINED FOR TAX PURPOSES.

  Participants will also receive copies of all shareholder
  communications from the Company such as quarterly reports, annual
  reports, and notices of shareholder meetings and proxy materials.

  Participants will receive an IRS Form 1099-DIV showing total
  Dividends reported to the Internal Revenue Service which were paid
  to the Participant both on shares held of record and Plan account
  shares.  An IRS Form 1099-B will be provided for reporting proceeds
  from the sale of shares through the Plan.  See Question 49 for
  further information regarding tax reporting.

  OTHER INFORMATION

   41.  WHAT HAPPENS IF THE COMPANY HAS A RIGHTS OFFERING, ISSUES A
  STOCK DIVIDEND OR DECLARES A STOCK SPLIT?

                                   15
<PAGE>

  In the event that the Company should make available to its
  shareholders rights to purchase additional shares of Common Stock or
  other securities, the Administrator will sell or direct the sale of
  the rights accruing to shares held in Participant Plan accounts and
  apply the net proceeds of such sales to the purchase of additional
  shares of Common Stock.  Any dividends in the form of shares of
  Common Stock and any shares resulting from a Common Stock split on
  shares held in a Participant's Plan account will be credited to the
  Participant's Plan account.

   42.  HOW WILL A PARTICIPANT'S SHARES BE VOTED AT MEETINGS OF
  SHAREHOLDERS?

  Participants in the Plan will receive a Company proxy statement and
  a proxy card representing Plan account shares as well as any other
  shares of Common Stock held of record.  Participant's Plan account
  shares will be voted in accordance with the instructions indicated
  on their proxy card.  If no instructions are indicated on a properly
  completed, signed and returned proxy card, all of the whole shares
  credited to a Participant's Plan account will be voted in accordance
  with the recommendations of the Company's management.  If a properly
  completed and signed proxy card or instruction form is not returned,
  none of the Participant's shares will be voted unless voted in
  person at the applicable meeting.

   43.  WHAT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE COMPANY AND ITS AGENTS
  UNDER THE PLAN?

  Neither the Company, in its individual capacity or as Plan
  Administrator, nor any independent agent appointed by the Company
  pursuant to the Plan, will be liable for any act done in good faith
  or for any good faith omission to act with respect to the Plan,
  including, without limitation, any claim of liability arising out of
  failure to terminate a Participant's account upon such Participant's
  death, prior to receipt of notice in writing of such death or with
  respect to the prices or times at which, or sources from which,
  shares are purchased or sold for Participants Plan accounts, or with
  respect to any fluctuation in market value of the Common Stock
  before or after any purchase or sale of shares.

  CURRENT SHAREHOLDERS OF RECORD ARE CAUTIONED THAT THIS PROSPECTUS
  DOES NOT REPRESENT A CHANGE IN THE COMPANY'S DIVIDEND POLICY OR A
  GUARANTEE OF FUTURE DIVIDENDS, WHICH WILL CONTINUE TO DEPEND UPON
  THE COMPANY'S EARNINGS, FINANCIAL REQUIREMENTS, GOVERNMENT
  REGULATIONS, AND OTHER FACTORS.  PARTICIPANTS MUST RECOGNIZE THAT
  THE COMPANY CANNOT ASSURE THEM A PROFIT, OR PROTECT THEM AGAINST
  LOSSES, ON SHARES PURCHASED PURSUANT TO THE PLAN.  THE MARKET PRICE
  OF COMMON STOCK CAN FLUCTUATE SUBSTANTIALLY.  PARTICIPANTS ACCEPT
  THE RISKS AS WELL AS THE BENEFITS OF THE PLAN.

   44.  MAY THE PLAN BE CHANGED OR DISCONTINUED?

  The Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to suspend,
  modify, or terminate the Plan at any time, although shareholder
  response is expected to justify continuing the Plan indefinitely.
  As a result, the Company may register additional shares from time to
  time.  Any suspension, modification, or termination of the Plan will
  be communicated by the Company to all Plan Participants.

   45.  MAY COMMON STOCK HELD IN A PLAN ACCOUNT BE PLEDGED AS
  COLLATERAL?

  Common Stock held in non-certificated form in a Plan account may not
  be pledged as collateral.  Participants wishing to use their Common
  Stock as collateral must have certificates issued for the shares.

   46.  MAY COMMON STOCK HELD IN A PLAN ACCOUNT BE TRANSFERRED OR
  ASSIGNED TO ANOTHER PERSON?

  A Participant may transfer or assign Plan shares to another person
  or entity by meeting the Company's stock transfer requirements,
  including having signatures on such requests that are Medallion
  Signature Guaranteed.  Requests for the Company's stock transfer
  requirements should be sent to:

  portion of a Participant's Plan shares when a Participant elects the
  Discounted Partial Dividend Reinvestment option.

   47.  HOW MAY INSTRUCTIONS BE GIVEN TO THE PLAN ADMINISTRATOR?

  Although currently all instructions from a Participant to the Plan
  Administrator are required to be in writing, the Plan Administrator
  may in the future allow certain instructions to be given by
  telephone or in any other manner as determined by the Plan
  Administrator.

   48.  WHO INTERPRETS THE PLAN?

  Any questions of interpretation arising under the Plan will be
  determined by the Company, in its sole discretion, and any such
  determination will be final.  Questions or correspondence should be

  FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION

   49.  WHAT ARE THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF PLAN
  PARTICIPATION?

  The Company believes the following is an accurate summary of the
  federal tax consequences of participation in the Plan.  YOU ARE
  ADVISED TO CONSULT YOUR TAX OR FINANCIAL ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO
  FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, AND OTHER TAX LAWS WHICH MAY APPLY TO YOUR
  SPECIFIC SITUATION.

  In general, Dividends paid on Common Stock, whether the shares are
  held in certificated form by a shareholder or held by the Company
  for a Participant in book-entry through the Plan, are considered
  taxable income, whether paid in cash or reinvested through the Plan.
  A Participant will recognize taxable income equal to the discount
  provided for under the Plan for Common Stock purchased with
  Reinvested Dividends (fair market value of the shares on the
  Dividend Payment Date less the amount of the Dividend).

  The tax basis of shares acquired through the reinvestment of
  Dividends in the Plan will be equal to the amount of the related
  Dividend income recognized by the Participant for federal income tax
  purposes.  The tax basis of shares purchased with an Initial Cash
  Investment and Cash Investments will be equal to the amount of such
  investments.

                                   17
<PAGE>

  Upon the sale of either a portion or all of their shares from the
  Plan, a Participant will recognize a capital gain or loss based on
  the difference between the sale proceeds and the tax basis in the
  shares sold, including any fractional shares.  The capital gain or
  loss will be long-term if the shares were held for more than one
  year.

  For Participants who are subject to U.S. withholding tax, backup
  withholding, or foreign taxes, the Company will withhold the
  required taxes from the gross Dividends or proceeds from the sale of
  shares.  The Dividends or proceeds received by the Participant, or
  Dividends reinvested on behalf of the Participant, will be net of
  the required taxes.

  The information return sent to you and the IRS at year-end will
  provide the information with respect to the Plan required to
  complete your income tax returns.

                             INDEMNIFICATION

  The Company's Articles of Incorporation provide that the Company
  will indemnify, under certain circumstances, any person who is or
  was a director, officer or employee of the Company or of any other
  corporation for which he is or was serving in any capacity at the
  request of the Corporation against all liability and expense that
  may be incurred by him in connection with any claim, action, suit or
  proceeding against them.  Additionally, under Indiana law, a
  director of the Company will not be liable to shareholders for any
  action taken as a director, or any failure to take any action,
  unless (1) the director has breached or failed to perform his duties
  as a director in good faith with the care an ordinarily prudent
  person in a like position would exercise under similar circumstances
  and in a manner the director reasonably believes to be in the best
  interests of the corporation, and (2) such breach or failure to
  perform constitutes willful misconduct or recklessness.

  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
  Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Act"), may be permitted to
  directors, officers or persons controlling the Company pursuant to
  the foregoing provision, the Company has been informed that in the
  opinion of the Commission, such indemnification is against public
  policy as expressed in the Act and is therefore unenforceable.

                       DESCRIPTION OF COMMON STOCK

  The Company's Articles of Incorporation currently authorize the
  issuance of 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock.  The Company also has
  2,000,000 shares of preferred stock authorized.  These shares are
  available to be issued, without prior shareholder approval, in
  classes with relative rights, privileges and preferences determined
  for each class by the Board of Directors of the Company.  No shares
  of preferred stock are presently outstanding.

  The Board of Directors of the Company has authorized a series of
  preferred stock designated as Series A preferred stock, and
  designated 200,000 shares of Series A preferred stock in connection
  with the Company's shareholder rights plan.  The Series A preferred
  stock may not be issued except upon exercise of certain rights
  ("Rights") pursuant to such shareholder rights plan.  No shares of
  Series A preferred stock have been issued as of the date of this
  Prospectus.  On January 25, 1990, the Board of Directors of the
  Company declared a dividend of one (1) right for each issued and
  outstanding share of Common Stock ("Right").  The dividend was
  payable on March 15, 1990 to holders of record of Common Stock at
  the close of business on March 1, 1990.  Each Right entitles the
  registered holder, upon the occurrence of certain events involving a
  change in control of the Company, to purchase from the Company one-
  hundredth (1/100) of a share of Series A preferred stock at an
  initial purchase price of $60.00, subject to adjustment.  The terms
  and conditions of the Rights are contained in a Rights Agreement
  between the Company and Old National Bank in Evansville, as Rights
  Agent.

  The Company's shareholders do not have preemptive rights to
  subscribe for any new or additional shares of Common Stock, are
  entitled to Dividends and other distributions when, as and if
  declared by the Company's Board

                                   18
  <PAGE>

  of Directors out of funds legally available therefor, and are
  entitled to one vote per share on all matters presented for
  shareholder vote.  The Company's shareholders do not have cumulative
  voting rights in the election of directors.

  The Company's Articles of Incorporation provide that certain
  business combinations may, under certain circumstances, require
  approval of more than a simple majority of its issued and
  outstanding shares, and require a super-majority shareholder vote of
  not less than eighty percent (80%) of the outstanding shares of
  Common Stock for the amendment of certain significant provisions.

  In the event of any liquidation or dissolution of the Company, the
  holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive pro rata
  with respect to the number of shares held by them any assets
  distributable to shareholders, subject to the payment of the
  Company's liabilities and any rights of creditors and holders of
  shares of the Company's preferred stock then outstanding.

  Under Indiana law, shares of Common Stock are not liable to further
  assessment.  The Company may redeem or acquire shares of Common
  Stock with funds legally available therefor, and shares so acquired
  constitute authorized but unissued shares.

                         APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS

  The Company does not know the number of shares that will ultimately
  be purchased from the Company under the Plan nor the prices at which
  such shares will be sold.  Any proceeds to the Company are expected
  to be used for general corporate purposes.

                                 EXPERTS

  The consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal
  year ended December 31, 1995, incorporated by reference into this

  Item 14.  Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution.

          The following table sets forth an itemized statement of all
  estimated expenses in connection with the issuance and distribution
  of the securities being registered:

          Registration fees                   $  6,309.07
          Printing and engraving expenses       25,000.00

          Total                               $ 64,890.07

  Item 15.  Indemnification of Officers and Directors

  The Company's Articles of Incorporation provide that the Company will
  indemnify, under certain circumstances, any person which is or was a
  director, officer or employee of the Company or of any other
  corporation for which he is or was serving in any capacity at the
  request of the Corporation against all liability and expense that may
  be incurred by him in connection with any claim, action, suit or
  proceeding against them.  Additionally, under Indiana law, a director
  of the Company will not be liable to shareholders for any action taken
  as a director, or any failure to take any action, unless (1) the
  director has breached or failed to perform his duties as a director in
  good faith with the care an ordinarily prudent person in a like
  position would exercise under similar circumstances and in a manner
  the director reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the
  corporation and (2) such breach or failure to perform constitutes
  willful misconduct or recklessness.

  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
  Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or
  persons controlling the Company pursuant to the foregoing
  provisions, the Company has been informed that in the opinion of the
  Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as
  expressed in the Act and is therefore unenforceable.

                    (ii)  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or
                    events arising after the effective date of the

                    or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental

  <PAGE>

  registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and
  the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the

          (3)  To remove from registration by means of a post-
  effective amendment any of the securities being registered which
  remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

          (4)  That, for purposes of determining any liability under
  the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual
  report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities
  Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
  employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of
  the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by
  reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new
  registration statement relating to the securities offered therein,
  and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to
  be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

          (5)  To deliver or cause to be delivered with the
  prospectus, to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given,
  the latest annual report to security holders that is incorporated by
  reference in the prospectus and furnished pursuant to and meeting
  the requirements of Rule 14a-3 or Rule 14c-3 under the Securities
  Exchange Act of 1934; and, where interim financial information
  required to be presented by Article 3 of the Regulation S-X is not
  set forth in the prospectus, to deliver, or cause to be delivered to
  each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest
  quarterly report that is specifically incorporated by reference in
  the prospectus to provide such interim financial information.

          (6) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under
  the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers
  and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing
  provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in
  the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
  indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
  is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for
  indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by
  the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer
  or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of
  any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director,
  officer or controlling person in connection with the securities
  being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its
  counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit
  to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
  indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
  Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

RE:  Issuance of Shares of Common Stock of Old National Bancorp
     in connection with the Old National Bancorp Stock Purchase
     and Discounted Dividend Reinvestment Plan

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     We have represented Old National Bancorp ("ONB") as special
counsel in connection with the preparation and filing of a
Registration Statement on Form S-3 ("Registration Statement")
with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the purpose of
registering 500,000 shares of ONB's no par value common stock
(the "Shares") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Act").  The Shares are being registered for issuance pursuant to
the Old National Bancorp Stock Purchase and Discounted Dividend
Reinvestment Plan ("Plan").  This opinion is delivered in
accordance with the requirements of Item 6.01(b)(5) of Regulation
S-K under the Act.  In connection with this opinion, we have
reviewed and are familiar with ONB's Articles of Incorporation
and By-Laws and such other records, documents and information as
we have in our judgment deemed relevant.

     Based upon the foregoing, it is our opinion that the Shares
have been duly and validly authorized, and when the certificates
for the Shares have been duly executed, delivered and paid for in
accordance with the Plan, the Shares will then be legally issued,
fully paid and non-assessable.  This opinion is limited to the
matters stated herein, and no opinion is to be implied or may be
inferred beyond the matters expressly stated.

     This opinion is addressed to you and is solely for your use
in connection with the Registration Statement, and we assume no
professional responsibility to any other person whatsoever.
Accordingly, the opinion expressed herein is not to be relied
upon, utilized or quoted by or delivered or disclosed to, in
whole or in part, any other person, corporation, entity or
governmental authority without, in each instance, the prior
written consent of this firm.

     We do however, hereby consent to the use of this opinion as
an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference
made to us in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus
forming a part thereof under the caption "Legal Opinions".  In
giving this consent,

we do not thereby admit that we come within the category of persons
whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, or the Rules and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission promulgated thereunder.

                                 Very truly yours,
