SUMMARY
This summary highlights some of the information contained in this
Proxy Statement-Prospectus. Because this is a summary, it does not contain all
the information that may be important to you. To understand the Affiliation
fully and for a more complete description of the legal terms of the Affiliation,
you should read carefully this entire document and the documents we have
referred you to.
THE PARTIES TO THE AFFILIATION
OLD NATIONAL BANCORP
420 Main Street
Evansville, Indiana 47708
(812) 464-1434
ONB is the second largest independent bank holding company headquartered in the
State of Indiana. We own and operate 17 affiliate banks with 112 offices located
in the three state area of Indiana, Illinois, and Kentucky. As of September 30,
1998, our total assets were approximately $6.0 billion and our ratio of total
capital to risk-adjusted assets was 13.27%. This capital ratio is well in excess
of applicable regulatory requirements. See "DESCRIPTION OF ONB."
DULANEY BANCORP, INC.
415 Archer Avenue
Marshall, Illinois 62441
(217) 826-2392
Dulaney Bancorp is an Illinois corporation and a bank holding company located in
Marshall, Illinois. It owns all of the outstanding shares of common stock of
Dulaney National Bank ("Bank"), which is organized as a national banking
association. As of September 30, 1998, Dulaney Bancorp had total assets of
approximately $42.4 million and its ratio of total capital to risk-adjusted
assets was 31.89%. See "DESCRIPTION OF DULANEY BANCORP."
THE AFFILIATION
Description of the Affiliation. We propose an affiliation in which Dulaney
Bancorp merges into ONB. When the Affiliation is completed, Dulaney Bancorp will
cease to exist. Following the Affiliation, the Bank will be a wholly owned
subsidiary of ONB.
Exchange of Dulaney Bancorp Common Stock. As a Dulaney Bancorp shareholder, each
of your shares of Dulaney Bancorp Common Stock automatically will become
exchangeable for 10.683 shares of ONB's common stock, subject to adjustment if,
among other reasons, ONB issues a stock dividend prior to closing the
Affiliation or if the average price per share of ONB Common Stock on certain
dates preceding the effective date of the Affiliation is greater than $52.525
per share or less than $42.975 per share as reported on the NASDAQ National
Market System. See "PROPOSED AFFILIATION -- Exchange of Dulaney Bancorp Common
Stock." The total number of shares of ONB common stock you will receive
therefore (absent any required adjustment) will be equal to 10.683 times the
number of shares of Dulaney Bancorp Common Stock you own. ONB will not issue
fractional shares. Instead, you will receive the value of any fractional share
in cash, based upon the market value of ONB's common stock. Following the
Affiliation, you will be entitled to exchange your shares of Dulaney Bancorp
Common Stock by sending your share certificates and a form we will send you to
iv
<PAGE>
ONB, which will then exchange them for shares of ONB's common stock. For
example, if you owned ten shares of Dulaney Bancorp Common Stock, after the
Affiliation you will send in the letter of transmittal and your old Dulaney
Bancorp certificates and in exchange you will receive 106 shares of ONB's common
stock and check for the market value of 0.83 of one share. The price at which
ONB Common Stock traded on ____________, 1998, as reported by the NASDAQ
National Market System, was $_____ per share. See "PROPOSED AFFILIATION --
Exchange of Dulaney Bancorp Common Stock" and Appendix A to this Proxy
Statement.
Reasons for the Affiliation. In considering the Affiliation with ONB, the Board
of Directors of Dulaney Bancorp collected and evaluated a variety of economic,
financial and market information regarding ONB and its affiliate banks, their
respective businesses and ONB's reputation and future prospects. In the opinion
of the Board of Directors of Dulaney Bancorp, favorable factors included ONB's
strong earnings and stock performance, its management, the compatibility of its
markets to those of the Bank and the attractiveness of ONB's offer from a
financial perspective. The Board also considered the potential benefits of
owning ONB Common Stock. ONB's Common Stock is traded in the over-the-counter
market and reported on the NASDAQ National Market System, as compared to Dulaney
Bancorp Common Stock which has no established public trading market. The Board
of Directors of Dulaney Bancorp also determined that the Affiliation would have
a positive, long-term impact on the Bank's customers and employees and the
communities served by the Bank. See "PROPOSED AFFILIATION -- Background of and
Reasons for the Affiliation."
Recommendation of the Board of Directors of Dulaney Bancorp. The Board of
Directors of Dulaney Bancorp believes that the Affiliation is fair to you and in
your best interests, and unanimously recommends that you vote "FOR" the proposal
to approve the Affiliation. See "PROPOSED AFFILIATION -- Recommendation of the
Board of Directors."
Conditions to the Affiliation. The completion of the Merger depends on a number
of conditions being met. In addition to our compliance with the Agreement of
Affiliation and Merger, these include:
- - Approval of the Agreement of Affiliation and Merger by the holders of at
least a majority of the outstanding shares of Dulaney Bancorp Common
Stock.
- - Receipt of a legal opinion that, for federal income tax purposes, ONB,
Dulaney Bancorp and Dulaney Bancorp's shareholders who exchange their
shares for shares of ONB Common Stock will not recognize any gain or loss
as a result of the Affiliation, except in connection with the payment of
cash instead of fractional shares. This opinion will be subject to
various limitations and we recommend that you read the fuller description
of tax consequences provided in this document beginning at page 13.
See "PROPOSED AFFILIATION -- Conditions to Consummation."
Termination of the Affiliation. ONB and Dulaney Bancorp can agree at any time to
terminate the Agreement of Affiliation and Merger without completing the
Affiliation, even if the shareholders of Dulaney Bancorp have approved it. Also,
either of such parties can decide, without the consent of the other, to
terminate the merger agreement if, among other reasons:
v
<PAGE>
- - The other party has breached or misrepresented any warranty contained in
the merger agreement.
- - The other party has breached or failed to comply with any covenant
contained in the merger agreement.
- - Certain claims, proceedings or litigation have been commenced or
threatened.
- - ONB, Dulaney Bancorp or the Bank experience a material adverse change
since September 30, 1998.
- - The Affiliation has not been completed by July 31, 1999.
See "PROPOSED AFFILIATION -- Termination."
Effective Time of the Affiliation. ONB and Dulaney Bancorp anticipate that the
Affiliation will be completed during the first quarter of 1999. See "PROPOSED
AFFILIATION -- Effective Time."
Management, Personnel and Operations After the Affiliation. After the
Affiliation takes place, Dulaney Bancorp will no longer exist. The Board of
Directors and officers of the Bank will remain unchanged following the
Affiliation. The employees of the Bank will receive the benefits under the
current policies and employee benefit plans of ONB. See "PROPOSED AFFILIATION --
Description of the Affiliation", "-- Management, Personnel and Operations After
the Affiliation" and "DESCRIPTION OF DULANEY BANCORP -- Management."
Federal Income Tax Consequences to Shareholders of Dulaney Bancorp. In general,
we expect that for federal income tax purposes you will not recognize gain or
loss as a result of the exchange of your shares of Dulaney Bancorp Common Stock
for shares of ONB Common Stock. However, if you receive cash in exchange for
your shares of Dulaney Bancorp Common Stock (in lieu of fractional shares), you
will recognize capital gain or loss on such exchange. We urge you to consult
with your tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences of the Affiliation
to you. See "FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES."
Dissenters' Rights. You have dissenters' rights established by Illinois law
which entitle you to receive cash for your shares of Dulaney Bancorp Common
Stock. In the event that holders of greater than 10% of the outstanding shares
of Dulaney Bancorp Common Stock become entitled, by exercise of dissenters'
rights or otherwise, to receive cash instead of ONB Common Stock, the
Affiliation will not qualify as a pooling-of-interests transaction for
accounting purposes and ONB would have the right to terminate the Agreement. In
order to exercise your dissenter's rights, you must follow certain procedures,
including filing certain notices and not voting your shares in favor of the
Affiliation. You will not receive any shares of ONB Common Stock if you dissent
and follow all of the required procedures. Instead, you will only receive the
value of your stock in cash. The relevant sections of Illinois law governing
this process are attached to this document as Appendix B. See "PROPOSED
AFFILIATION -- Rights of Dissenting Shareholders of Dulaney Bancorp."
Resale of ONB Common Stock. Certain resale restrictions apply to the sale or
transfer of shares of ONB Common Stock issued to directors, executive officers
and 10% shareholders of Dulaney Bancorp in exchange for their shares of Dulaney
Bancorp Common Stock. See "PROPOSED AFFILIATION -- Resale of ONB Common Stock by
Affiliates of Dulaney Bancorp."
Comparative Shareholder Rights. If the Affiliation is completed, and you have
not exercised your dissenter's rights, you will
vi
<PAGE>
become a shareholder of ONB. As a result, your rights as a shareholder, which
are now governed by Illinois law and the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of
Dulaney Bancorp, will be governed by Indiana law and ONB's Articles of
Incorporation and Bylaws. See "COMPARISON OF COMMON STOCK."
Trading Market for Common Stock. There is presently no established public
trading market for shares of Dulaney Bancorp Common Stock. Shares of ONB Common
Stock are traded in the over-the-counter market and stock prices are reported on
the NASDAQ National Market System. The closing price of ONB Common Stock as
reported by the NASDAQ National Market System was $52 7/8 per share on November
13, 1998, the business day before the Affiliation was publicly announced, and
was $_____ per share on ____________, 1998. Assuming the Affiliation had been
completed on ____________, 1998, you and the other Dulaney Bancorp would have
received, in exchange for all of the shares of Dulaney Bancorp Common Stock,
shares of ONB Common Stock having a total market value of $____________, which
represents $_____ per share of Dulaney Bancorp Common Stock (including cash
received in lieu of any fractional share interest). See "COMPARATIVE PER SHARE
DATA."

Date, Time and Place of Special Meeting. __________, ____________, 1999, at
_____ __.m., local time, at the Bank located at 415 Archer Avenue, Marshall,

described in this Proxy Statement and in accordance with the recommendation of
the Board of Directors of Dulaney Bancorp with respect to any other matter which

shareholders are entitled to certain appraisal rights with respect to the
Affiliation. See "PROPOSED AFFILIATION -- Rights of Dissenting Shareholders of

before the proxy is voted.
PROPOSED AFFILIATION
At the Special Meeting, the shareholders of Dulaney Bancorp will
consider and vote upon approval of the Affiliation, certain features of which
are summarized below. The following summary of certain aspects of the
Affiliation does not purport to be a complete description of the terms and
conditions of the Affiliation and is qualified in its entirety by reference to
the Agreement, which is attached to this Proxy Statement as Appendix A and is
incorporated herein by reference.
DESCRIPTION OF THE AFFILIATION
In the Affiliation, Dulaney Bancorp will merge with and into ONB.
ONB will be the surviving corporation in the Affiliation and the separate
corporate existence of Dulaney Bancorp will cease. As a result, Dulaney National
Bank (the "Bank") will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of ONB.

<PAGE>
As of September 30, 1998, Dulaney Bancorp had consolidated assets of
$42.413 million, consolidated deposits of $34.631 million, consolidated
shareholders' equity of $7.480 million and consolidated net income for the nine
months then ended of $532,000. Based upon the pro forma financial information
included elsewhere in this Proxy Statement and assuming that the Affiliation had
been consummated on September 30, 1998, Dulaney Bancorp represented as of such
date 0.70% of the consolidated assets of ONB, 0.75% of its consolidated
deposits, 1.42% of its consolidated shareholders' equity and, for the nine month
period then ended, 1.14% of its consolidated net income. See "PRO FORMA
CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION".
BACKGROUND OF AND REASONS FOR THE AFFILIATION
Historically banking laws in Illinois and many other states
prohibited banks from expanding outside of their home counties. Many changes
have occurred in recent years, first permitting in-state acquisitions by bank
holding companies, then permitting regional interstate acquisitions and
currently permitting virtual nationwide expansion opportunities. These
developments stimulated aggressive acquisition activity among financial
institutions located in Illinois and neighboring states, resulting in the entry
of large bank holding companies into virtually every attractive market in the
Midwestern United States. Moreover, developments and deregulation in the
financial services industry generally have led to further increases in
competition for bank services. Compounded by the significant increase in bank
regulatory burdens over the past several years, these competitive factors have
created an environment in which it is increasingly difficult for community banks
such as the Bank to achieve the economies of scale necessary to compete
effectively.
The Board of Directors also considered several strategic
alternatives including remaining independent, growing through acquisitions, and
seeking a merger partner. After evaluation of financial, economic, legal and
market considerations, the Board of Directors concluded that seeking a potential
merger partner was in the best interests of the shareholders. Beginning in May,
1998, representatives of Dulaney Bancorp discussed with representatives of ONB a
possible Affiliation. On June 25, 1998, ONB sent a letter to Dulaney Bancorp
explaining its intention to affiliate with Dulaney Bancorp. After continued
discussions, due diligence and the negotiation of a definitive agreement, the
Board of Directors of Dulaney Bancorp determined that the Affiliation with ONB
was in the best interests of Dulaney Bancorp and its shareholders
3
<PAGE>
and voted to approve the Affiliation on October 15, 1998. The definitive
Agreement of Affiliation and Merger was signed November 5, 1998.
In determining to pursue the Affiliation with ONB, the Board of
Directors specifically considered financial, managerial and other information
regarding ONB and its affiliate banks. In particular, the Board of Directors
considered, evaluated and compared ONB's and Dulaney Bancorp's respective
businesses, financial condition, reputation and future prospects. The earnings
history and stock performance of ONB were carefully reviewed with a view towards
the investment potential for shareholders of Dulaney Bancorp.
Among other items considered in this evaluation were the prospects
of Dulaney Bancorp and the Bank, as separate institutions and as combined with
ONB: the compatibility of ONB's affiliate bank's markets to those of Bank's
market; the price offered by ONB to Dulaney Bancorp shareholders and the
anticipated tax-free nature of the Affiliation to the shareholders of Dulaney
Bancorp receiving solely ONB Common Stock in exchange for their shares of
Dulaney Bancorp Common Stock; the possibility of increased liquidity through
ownership of ONB Common Stock as compared to Dulaney Bancorp Common Stock
because ONB Common Stock is traded in the over-the-counter market and share
prices are reported on the NASDAQ National Market System; regulatory
requirements; relevant price information involving recent comparable bank
acquisitions which occurred in the Midwest United States; and an analysis of
alternatives to affiliating with ONB, including other potential acquirors.
The Board of Directors of Dulaney Bancorp also considered the impact
of the Affiliation on the Bank's customers and employees and the communities
served by the Bank. ONB's historical practice of retaining employees of acquired
institutions with competitive salary and benefit programs was considered, as was
the opportunity for training, education, growth and advancement of the Bank's
employees within ONB or one of its affiliates. The Board of Directors of Dulaney
Bancorp examined ONB's continuing commitment to the communities served by
institutions previously acquired by ONB. Further, from the standpoint of the
Bank's customers, it was anticipated that more products and services would
become available because of ONB's greater resources.
Based upon the foregoing factors, the Board of Directors of Dulaney
Bancorp concluded that it was in the best interests of Dulaney Bancorp and its
shareholders to merge with ONB.

RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF DULANEY BANCORP HAS CAREFULLY CONSIDERED
AND UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED THE AGREEMENT AND THE AFFILIATION AND UNANIMOUSLY
RECOMMENDS THAT THE SHAREHOLDERS OF DULANEY BANCORP APPROVE THE AFFILIATION.
EXCHANGE OF DULANEY BANCORP COMMON STOCK
Under the terms of the Agreement, shareholders of Dulaney Bancorp of
record upon consummation of the Affiliation will be entitled to receive 10.683
shares of ONB Common Stock ("Exchange Ratio"), subject to adjustment, if any,
for stock splits, stock dividends or any similar recapitalization of ONB and
subject to further adjustment as follows: If the Average Price Per Share of ONB
Common Stock exceeds $52.525, then the Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted such
that each share of Dulaney Common Stock shall be converted into the number of
shares of ONB Common Stock resulting from the following formula: (i) $561.12
divided by Average Price Per Share; (ii) if the Average Price Per Share of ONB
Common Stock is less than $42.972, then the Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted
such that each share of Dulaney Common Stock shall be converted into the number
of shares of ONB Common Stock resulting from the following formula: $459.10
divided by Average Price Per Share; and (iii) if the Average Price Per Share of
ONB Common Stock is not less than $42.975 nor more than $52.525, then there
shall be no adjustment to the Exchange Ratio. For purposes of the foregoing, the
Average Price Per Share of ONB Common Stock shall mean and be calculated based
upon the average of the per share closing prices of ONB Common Stock as reported
on the NASDAQ National Market System for the first five (5) business days on
which trades of shares of ONB Common Stock are reported on the NASDAQ National
Market System within the ten (10) calendar days immediately preceding the
Effective Time.
As of ____________, 1998, the closing price of ONB Common Stock was
$_____ per share, as reported by the NASDAQ National Market System. If the
Affiliation had been consummated on that date, the number of shares of ONB
Common Stock and cash exchanged in the Affiliation would have been __________,
with an aggregate value of approximately $__________.
No fractional shares of ONB Common Stock will be issued to
shareholders of Dulaney Bancorp in connection with the Affiliation. Each
shareholder of Dulaney Bancorp who
5
<PAGE>
otherwise would be entitled to a fractional interest in a share of ONB Common
Stock as a result of the Exchange Ratio will be paid a cash amount equal to such
fractional interest multiplied by the market value of ONB Common Stock.
After the effective time of the Affiliation, stock certificates
previously representing Dulaney Bancorp Common Stock will represent only the
right to receive shares of ONB Common Stock and cash for any fractional shares.
Following the effective time of the Affiliation and prior to the surrender by
holders of Dulaney Bancorp of their stock certificates to ONB in exchange for
ONB Common Stock, such holders will not be entitled to receive payment of
dividends or other distributions declared on shares of ONB Common Stock. Upon
the subsequent exchange of such certificates, however, any accumulated dividends
or other distributions previously declared and withheld on the shares of ONB
Common Stock will be paid, without interest. At the effective time of the
Affiliation, the stock transfer book of Dulaney Bancorp will be closed and no
transfers of shares of Dulaney Bancorp Common Stock will thereafter be made. If,
after the effective time of the Affiliation, certificates representing shares of
Dulaney Bancorp Common Stock are presented for registration or transfer, they
will be canceled and exchanged for shares of ONB Common Stock.
Stock certificates representing shares of ONB Common Stock and any
cash payment for fractional shares (without interest) will be made, after the
effective time of the Affiliation, to each former shareholder of Dulaney Bancorp
within twenty (20) business days following the shareholder's delivery to ONB of
his or her certificate(s) representing shares of Dulaney Bancorp Common Stock.
Instructions as to delivery of stock certificates of Dulaney Bancorp to ONB will
be sent to each shareholder of Dulaney Bancorp shortly after the effective time
of the Affiliation.
RIGHTS OF DISSENTING SHAREHOLDERS OF DULANEY BANCORP
The Illinois Business Corporation Act of 1983, as amended ("IBCA"),
provides shareholders of merging corporations with certain dissenters' rights.
The dissenters' rights of shareholders of Dulaney Bancorp are set forth in
Sections 11.65 and 11.70 of the IBCA, a copy of which is attached to this Proxy
Statement as Appendix B. Shareholders will not be entitled to assert dissenters'
rights absent strict compliance with the procedures of Illinois law.
6
<PAGE>
Section 11.65 of the IBCA provides that shareholders of Dulaney
Bancorp have the right to demand payment for the "fair value" of their shares of
Dulaney Bancorp Common Stock immediately before the Affiliation becomes
effective. To claim this right, the shareholder must first:
(a) deliver to Dulaney Bancorp before the vote is taken at the
Special Meeting a written demand for payment for the shareholder's shares if the
Affiliation is consummated; and
(b) not vote in favor of the Affiliation in person or by proxy.
Dissenting shareholders may send their written notice to Dale H.
Murphy, President, Dulaney Bancorp, Inc., 415 Archer Avenue, Marshall, Illinois
62441.
If the Affiliation is approved by the shareholders of Dulaney
Bancorp, ONB will send a statement to those shareholders satisfying the above
conditions within ten (10) days of the effective date of the Affiliation or
thirty (30) days after the shareholder delivers his/her written demand for
payment, whichever is later. The statement shall set forth the opinion of ONB as
to the estimated value of shares, Dulaney Bancorp's latest balance sheet as of
the end of the fiscal year ending not earlier than 16 months before delivery of
the statement, together with the statement of income for that year and the
latest available interim financial statements, and a commitment to pay for the
shares of the dissenting shareholder at the estimated value thereof upon
transmittal to ONB of the share certificates or other evidence of ownership with
respect to such shares. The notice will state the procedures the dissenting
shareholder thereafter must follow to exercise dissenters' rights in accordance
with Illinois law.
A Dulaney Bancorp shareholder who is sent such a statement and does
not agree with the opinion of ONB as to the estimated value of the Dulaney
Bancorp shares must notify ONB in writing of the shareholder's estimate of value
of the Dulaney Bancorp shares and demand payment for the difference between the
shareholder's estimated value of the Dulaney Bancorp shares and the amount of
the payment offered by ONB. Dulaney Bancorp shareholders who do not notify ONB
of their fair value estimate and demand payment as required and within
applicable time periods are considered to have voted the shareholders' shares of
Dulaney Bancorp Common Stock in favor of the Affiliation and are not entitled to
receive payment for the shareholder's shares under Section 11.65 of the IBCA.

THE FOREGOING SUMMARY OF THE RIGHTS OF DISSENTING SHAREHOLDERS
ADDRESSES ALL MATERIAL FEATURES OF THE APPLICABLE DISSENTERS' RIGHTS STATUTES
UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS BUT DOES NOT PURPORT TO BE COMPLETE AND
IS QUALIFIED IN ITS ENTIRETY BY THE STATUTORY PROVISIONS ATTACHED HERETO AS
APPENDIX B.
A SHAREHOLDER'S FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS
FOR EXERCISING DISSENTERS' RIGHTS WILL RESULT IN A LOSS OF SUCH RIGHTS, AND
SHAREHOLDERS WHO MAY WISH TO EXERCISE DISSENTERS' RIGHTS SHOULD CONSIDER SEEKING
LEGAL COUNSEL.
RESALE OF ONB COMMON STOCK BY AFFILIATES OF DULANEY BANCORP
No restrictions on the sale or transfer of the shares of ONB Common
Stock issued pursuant to the Affiliation will be imposed solely as a result of
the Affiliation, other than restrictions on the transfer of such shares issued
to any shareholder of Dulaney Bancorp who may be deemed to be an "affiliate" of
Dulaney Bancorp for purposes of Rule 145 under the Securities Act. Directors,
executive officers and 10% shareholders are deemed to be affiliates for purposes
of Rule 145.
The Agreement provides that Dulaney Bancorp will provide ONB with a
list identifying each affiliate of Dulaney Bancorp. The Agreement also requires
that each affiliate of Dulaney Bancorp deliver to ONB, prior to the effective
time of the Affiliation, a written agreement to the effect that such affiliate
(1) has not sold, pledged, transferred, disposed of or otherwise reduced the
affiliate's market risk with respect to the shares of Dulaney Bancorp Common
Stock directly or indirectly owned or held by such person during the thirty (30)
day period prior to the effective time, and (2) will not sell, pledge, transfer
or otherwise dispose of or reduce the affiliate's market risk with respect to
the shares of ONB Common Stock to be received by such person pursuant to the
Agreement (i) until such time as financial results covering at least thirty (30)
days of combined operations of Dulaney Bancorp and ONB have been published
within the meaning of Section 201.01 of the Securities and Exchange Commission's
Codification of Financial Reporting Policies and (ii) unless done pursuant to an
effective registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to Rule
145 or another exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities
Act of 1933. The certificates representing ONB Common Stock issued to affiliates
of Dulaney Bancorp in the Affiliation may contain a legend indicating these
resale restrictions.
8
<PAGE>
This is only a general statement of certain restrictions regarding
the sale or transfer of the shares of ONB Common Stock to be issued in the
Affiliation. Therefore, those shareholders of Dulaney Bancorp who may be deemed
to be affiliates of Dulaney Bancorp should consult with their legal counsel
regarding the resale restrictions that may apply to them.

of Dulaney Bancorp," "-- Regulatory Approvals", "FEDERAL INCOME TAX
CONSEQUENCES" and Appendix A.
TERMINATION
Either ONB or Dulaney Bancorp may terminate the Agreement before it
is consummated (as set forth in the Agreement) if, among other reasons:
- there has been a misrepresentation or a breach of any
warranty set forth in the Agreement by Dulaney Bancorp
or ONB which has had or could be expected to
9
<PAGE>
have a material adverse effect on the financial
condition, results of operations, business, assets or
capitalization of Dulaney Bancorp, the Bank or ONB;
- ONB or Dulaney Bancorp has breached or failed to comply
with any covenant set forth in the Agreement;
- consummation of the Affiliation has become inadvisable
or impracticable due to the commencement or threat of
any claim, litigation or proceeding against ONB or
Dulaney Bancorp or any subsidiary of ONB relating to the
Agreement or which is likely to have a material adverse
effect on the financial condition, results of
operations, business, assets or capitalization of ONB or
Dulaney Bancorp;
- there has been a material adverse change in the
financial condition, results of operations, business,
assets or capitalization of ONB or Dulaney Bancorp, as
of the effective time of the Affiliation as compared to
that in existence as of June 30, 1998;
- ONB cannot utilize the pooling-of-interests method of
accounting for the Affiliation; or
- consummation of the Affiliation has not occurred by July
31, 1999.
Upon termination for any of these reasons, the Agreement will be of no further
force or effect. See Appendix A.
RESTRICTIONS AFFECTING DULANEY BANCORP
The Agreement contains a number of restrictions regarding the
conduct of business of Dulaney Bancorp pending consummation of the Affiliation.
Among other items, Dulaney Bancorp and the Bank may not, without the prior
written consent of ONB:
- change its capital stock accounts;
- distribute or pay any dividends, except that (A) the
Bank may pay cash dividends to Dulaney Bancorp in the
ordinary course of business for payment of reasonable
and necessary business and operating expenses of Dulaney
Bancorp and to provide funds for Dulaney Bancorp
dividends and (B) Dulaney Bancorp may pay to its
shareholders its usual and customary semi-annual cash
dividend of up to $6.00 per share for the semi-annual
period ending December 31, 1998 and up to $3.00 per
share for any quarter other than the quarter in which
the Affiliation is completed;
10
<PAGE>
- amend its Articles of Incorporation or By-Laws;
- carry on their business other than substantially in the
manner as conducted as of the date of the Agreement and
in the ordinary course of business; or
- negotiate or discuss with third parties relative to a
merger, combination or sale of Dulaney Bancorp, except
under certain limited circumstances.
See Appendix A.
REGULATORY APPROVALS
The Affiliation requires the prior approval of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("Federal Reserve") under the Bank
Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended ("BHC Act"). ONB filed an application
with the Federal Reserve for its prior approval of the Affiliation. The Federal
Reserve has not approved the application as of the date of this Proxy Statement.
Approval of the Affiliation by the Federal Reserve is not to be
interpreted as the opinion of this regulatory authority that the Affiliation is
favorable to the shareholders of Dulaney Bancorp from a financial point of view
or that the regulatory authority has considered the adequacy of the terms of the
Affiliation. An approval by the Federal Reserve in no way constitutes an
endorsement or a recommendation of the Affiliation by such regulatory authority.
ACCOUNTING TREATMENT FOR THE AFFILIATION
It is anticipated that the Affiliation will be accounted for as a
"pooling-of-interests" transaction. Under this method of accounting,
shareholders of ONB and Dulaney Bancorp will be deemed to have combined their
existing voting common stock interests. See "OLD NATIONAL BANCORP PRO FORMA
CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION".
In order for the Affiliation to qualify for pooling-of-interests
accounting treatment, among other items, 90% or more of the outstanding shares
of Dulaney Bancorp Common Stock must be exchanged for ONB Common Stock. In the
event the holders representing more than 10% of the outstanding shares of
Dulaney Bancorp Common Stock become entitled by the exercise of dissenters'
rights or otherwise to receive cash instead of ONB Common Stock, the
11
<PAGE>
Affiliation would not qualify for pooling-of-interests method of accounting and
ONB would have the right to terminate the Affiliation. See "PROPOSED AFFILIATION
- -- Rights of Dissenting Shareholders of Dulaney Bancorp" and "PROPOSED
AFFILIATION -- Termination."
EFFECTIVE TIME
The Affiliation will become effective at the close of business on
the day specified in the Articles of Merger of Dulaney Bancorp with and into ONB
as filed with both the Indiana Secretary of State and the Illinois Secretary of
State. The effective time of the Affiliation will occur on the last business day
of the month following (1) the fulfillment of all conditions precedent to the
Affiliation set forth in the Agreement and (2) the expiration of all waiting
periods in connection with the bank regulatory applications filed for approval
of the Affiliation, unless in each case otherwise mutually agreed to by ONB and
Dulaney Bancorp.
ONB and Dulaney Bancorp currently anticipate that Affiliation will
be consummated during the first quarter of 1999.
MANAGEMENT, PERSONNEL AND EMPLOYEE BENEFITS AFTER THE AFFILIATION
ONB will be the surviving corporation in the Affiliation and, upon
consummation of the Affiliation, the separate corporate existence of Dulaney
Bancorp will cease. Consequently, the directors and officers of Dulaney Bancorp
will no longer serve in such capacities after the effective time of the
Affiliation.
The Bank will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of ONB. The Board of
Directors and officers of the Bank serving at the effective time of the
Affiliation will continue as the Board of Directors and officers of Bank after
the effective time of the Affiliation. Following the effective time of the
Affiliation, ONB, as the sole shareholder of Bank, will have the ability to
elect the Board of Directors and officers of the Bank. The current officers of
Bank will continue in their respective positions after the Affiliation, until
the Board of Directors of Bank determines otherwise.
Those persons who are full-time officers or employees of the Bank as
of the effective time of the Affiliation, provided that these persons continue
as full-time officers or employees of
12
<PAGE>
Bank or any other subsidiary of ONB after the effective time of the Affiliation,
will receive substantially the same employee benefits on substantially the same
terms and conditions that ONB may offer to similarly situated officers and
employees of its banking subsidiaries from time to time. In addition, years of
service of an employee of the Bank prior to the effective time of the
Affiliation will be credited to each such employee for purposes of eligibility
under ONB's employee welfare benefit plans and for purposes of eligibility and
vesting, but not for accrual or contributions, under the ONB Employees'
Retirement Plan ("ONB Pension Plan"), the ONB Employees' Savings and Profit
Sharing Plan ("ONB Profit Sharing Plan"), and the ONB Employee Stock Ownership
Plan ("ONB ESOP").
Those officers and employees of the Bank who otherwise meet the
eligibility requirements of the ONB Pension Plan, the ONB Profit Sharing Plan
and the ONB ESOP, based upon their age and years of service to the Bank, shall
become participants under the ONB Pension Plan on the January 1st which
coincides with or next follows the effective time of the Affiliation, and shall
become participants under the ONB Profit Sharing Plan and the ONB ESOP on the
first day of the calendar month which coincides with or next follows the
effective time of the Affiliation. Those officers and employees who do not meet
the eligibility requirements of the ONB Pension Plan or ONB Profit Sharing Plan
on such date shall become participants thereunder on the on the first "plan
entry date" (as defined in the ONB Pension Plan, the ONB Profit Sharing Plan or
the ONB ESOP, as the case may be) which coincides with or next follows the date
on which such eligibility requirements are satisfied.
The Dulaney Bancorp 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan ("Dulaney 401(k)
Plan") shall be merged with the ONB Profit Sharing Plan, with all account
balances maintained under the Dulaney 401(k) Plan becoming fully vested on the
day on which the effective time of the Affiliation occurs. Until such Plans are
merged, Dulaney Bancorp and the Bank may continue to make contributions to the
Dulaney 401(k) Plan with contributions in comparable amounts to past
contributions to such Plan.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
The following discussion summarizes certain federal income tax
aspects of the Affiliation. This discussion does not purport to cover all
federal income tax consequences relating to the Affiliation and does not contain
any information with respect to state, local or other tax laws.
13
<PAGE>
TAX OPINION
ONB and Dulaney Bancorp have requested the law firm of Krieg DeVault
Alexander & Capehart, LLP to render an opinion that the Affiliation constitutes
a tax-free reorganization and, with respect to certain federal income tax
consequences of the Affiliation, substantially to the effect that the merger to
be effected pursuant to the Affiliation constitutes a tax-free reorganization
under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Code") to each party
thereto and to the shareholders of Dulaney Bancorp, except with respect to cash
received by Dulaney Bancorp's shareholders for fractional share interests of ONB
Common Stock or pursuant to the exercise of dissenters' rights.
The opinion rendered by Krieg DeVault Alexander & Capehart, LLP will
be based upon the assumption of certain facts to be stated in the opinion. Under
the Agreement, the obligations of each of ONB and Dulaney Bancorp to consummate
the Affiliation is conditioned upon the receipt of an opinion of counsel
substantially to the effect as set forth above.
TAX CONSEQUENCES TO ONB AND DULANEY BANCORP
The merger of Dulaney Bancorp with and into ONB constitutes a
statutory merger under applicable law. Consequently, based upon the assumption
of certain facts to be stated in the opinion, the merger of Dulaney Bancorp with
and into ONB should constitute a tax-free reorganization. As a result, ONB and
Dulaney Bancorp will recognize neither gain nor loss as a result of the
Affiliation for federal income tax purposes.
TAX CONSEQUENCES TO DULANEY BANCORP SHAREHOLDERS
A. Dulaney Bancorp Shareholders Receiving Solely ONB Common Stock
--------------------------------------------------------------
A Dulaney Bancorp shareholder who receives solely ONB Common Stock
in exchange for all of the shares of Dulaney Bancorp Common Stock actually owned
by the shareholder will not recognize any gain or loss upon such exchange for
federal income tax purposes. See paragraph C. following for a discussion of the
tax consequences of the receipt of cash in lieu of fractional share interests of
ONB Common Stock.
14
<PAGE>
B. Dissenting Dulaney Bancorp Shareholders Receiving Solely Cash
-------------------------------------------------------------
The transaction will result in income being recognized for federal
income tax purposes for Dulaney Bancorp shareholders who dissent to the
Affiliation and receive solely cash in exchange for their shares of Dulaney
Bancorp Common Stock. A shareholder who receives solely cash for the
shareholder's shares of Dulaney Bancorp Common Stock pursuant to the Affiliation
through the exercise of dissenters' rights and, as a result of the surrender of
all of the shareholder's shares of Dulaney Bancorp Common Stock, owns no Dulaney
Bancorp Common Stock either directly or through the constructive ownership rules
of Section 318 of the Code, would recognize capital gain or loss (assuming that
the Dulaney Bancorp Common Stock is held by such shareholder as a capital asset)
equal to the difference between the amount of the cash received and the
shareholder's tax basis of its shares of Dulaney Bancorp Common Stock.
C. Cash Received in Lieu of Fractional Shares
------------------------------------------
A Dulaney Bancorp shareholder who receives cash in lieu of a
fractional share interest of ONB Common Stock will be treated as having received
such fraction of a share of ONB Common Stock and then as having received cash in
redemption of the fractional share interest, subject to the provisions of
Section 302 of the Code.
THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX DISCUSSION SET FORTH ABOVE HAS NOT BEEN
VERIFIED WITH THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE, IS INCLUDED FOR GENERAL INFORMATION
ONLY AND IS BASED UPON THE FEDERAL INTERNAL REVENUE CODE AS IN EFFECT ON THE
DATE OF THIS PROXY STATEMENT WITHOUT CONSIDERATION OF ANY STATE LAWS OR THE
PARTICULAR FACTS OR CIRCUMSTANCES OF ANY SHAREHOLDER OF DULANEY BANCORP. THE
ABOVE DISCUSSION MAY NOT BE APPLICABLE WITH RESPECT TO SHARES ACQUIRED PURSUANT
TO THE EXERCISE OF STOCK OPTIONS OR OTHERWISE RECEIVED AS COMPENSATION.
SHAREHOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT WITH THEIR TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO ALL TAX
CONSEQUENCES OF THE AFFILIATION TO THEM, INCLUDING THE EFFECT OF FEDERAL, STATE
AND LOCAL TAX LAWS AND ANY OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES.

MANAGEMENTS' DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATION OF DULANEY BANCORP
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The following is management's discussion and analysis of the
historical financial condition and the results of operations of Dulaney Bancorp
and Bank. Dulaney Bancorp began operations in 1988 and is a bank holding company
for Bank. The Bank primarily serves consumers and small to mid-sized businesses
in West Central Illinois.
The following discussion and analysis is intended to provide greater
details of the results of operations and financial condition of Dulaney Bancorp
and Bank. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
information under "Dulaney Bancorp's Selected Financial Data" and Dulaney's
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and other financial data
included elsewhere in this Proxy Statement - Prospectus. Certain statements
under this caption constitute "forward-looking statements" which involve risks
and uncertainties. Dulaney Bancorp's actual results may differ significantly
from the results discussed in such forward-looking statements. Factors that
might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, economic
conditions, competition in the geographic and business areas in which Dulaney
Bancorp conducts its operations, fluctuations in interest rates, credit quality
and government regulation.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
NET INCOME ANALYSIS. For the nine months ended September 30, 1998,
net income decreased 5.51% to $532,000 from $563,000 in the same period in 1997.
The decrease is primarily a result of decreased net interest margin at September
30, 1998 from the same period in 1997. Net income decreased by 2.29% from
$793,298 in fiscal 1996 to $775,110 in fiscal 1997, primarily due to higher
effective federal income tax rate.

of operations, along with selected profitability ratios:

Return on average equity 10.04% 11.24% 11.51% 12.68% 11.63%
NET INTEREST INCOME. Net interest income is the largest component of
earnings and is affected by the volume of the sources and uses of funds, the
respective rates earned and paid on those funds, the mix of those funds, and the
volume of non-performing assets. Net interest income was $1,320,900 for the
first nine months of 1998, a 2.72% decrease from the same period in 1997.
Interest income decreased $36,900 for the first nine months of 1998 and interest
expense increased $23,600. These changes were due to lower rates on taxable
investments and higher interest expense on time deposits.
In fiscal 1997, the Bank's net interest income increased 2.73% to
$1,840,649 compared to 1996 and increased 8.81% in 1996 over 1995. The net
interest margin, which is calculated by dividing tax-equivalent net interest
income by average interest-earning assets, was 4.75% in 1997 as compared to
4.68% and 4.48% in 1996 and 1995, respectively. The increase in the net interest
margin during 1997 primarily resulted from an increase in loan balances. The
Bank decreased its overall yield on interest earning assets from 7.76% in 1996
to 7.74% in 1997. The change in these yields was negligible as rates on loans
and deposits were stable during these time frames.

- -----------------------------------------
(1) Interest income only reflects actual interest earned on assets, without
regards to loan fees. Loan fees were $605,000, $450,000, and $685,000 for
December 31, 1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively.
(2) Nontaxable investment income is presented on a fully tax-equivalent basis
assuming a tax rate of 34%.
During the first nine months of 1998, loan interest increased
$78,100 as a result of higher average loan balances in 1998 over 1997. Interest
expense for the first nine months of 1998 was up $23,600 due to an increase in
time deposits. Rates on average time deposit balances increased from 5.05% to
5.36%
PROVISION FOR POSSIBLE LOAN LOSSES. There has been no provision for
loan losses charged to expense in 1995, 1996, 1997 nor 1998. This is the result
of low net charge offs during these periods.
The allowance for possible loan losses is maintained at a level
considered adequate to provide for potential losses. The provision for possible
loan losses is based on a periodic analysis, which considers among other
factors, current economic conditions, loan portfolio composition, past loan loss
experience, independent appraisals, loan collateral, and payment experience. The
allowance for loan losses consists of estimated losses on identified problem
loans and an unallocated allowance for unidentified credit losses inherent in
the portfolio. As adjustments become necessary, they are reflected in the
results of operations in the periods in which they become known.
Management believes the allowance for possible loan losses is
adequate to absorb losses in the loan portfolio. While management uses available
information to recognize loan losses, future additions to the allowance may be
necessary based on changes in economic conditions both generally and for
specific loan customers. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an
integral part of the examination process, periodically review the allowance for
possible loan losses. Such agencies may require Dulaney Bancorp to increase the
allowance for possible loan losses based on their judgments and interpretations
about information available to them at the time of their examinations.

$8,000 increase in gain on securities sales.
For 1997, 1996 and 1995 there was no material change in dollar
amounts of Noninterest Income. Fluctuations were mainly the result of
differences in gain or loss on securities sales.

increased $33,000, or 7.64% compared to 1996. In 1996, salaries and employee
benefits increased $29,000, or 7.20%, compared to 1995. These increases are
attributable to normal salary increases
INCOME TAXES. The Bank recorded income tax expense of $175,000 for
the first nine months of 1998 representing a decrease of $35,000 compared to the
same period in 1997. This results from the decrease of net income in 1998
compared to 1997

NON-PERFORMING ASSETS. The Bank follows regulatory guidelines with
respect to placing loans on non-accrual status. The Bank does not return a loan
to accrual status until it is brought current with respect to both principal and
interest and future principal payments are no longer in doubt. When a loan is
placed on non-accrual status, all previously accrued and uncollected interest is
reversed. Certain non-performing assets of the Bank are summarized in the
following table:

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES. The Bank's loan loss reserve is available
to absorb future loan losses. The current level of the loan loss reserve is a
result of managements's assessment of the risk within the loan portfolio based
on the information revealed in the credit reporting processes. The Bank utilizes
a risk-rating system on loans and a monthly credit review and reporting process
which results in the calculation of the guideline reserves based on the risk
within the portfolio. The assessment of risk takes into account the composition
of the loan portfolio, previous loan experience, current economic conditions and
other factors that, in management's judgment, deserve recognition.
The following table sets forth changes in the Bank's loan loss
reserve as of the dates indicated:

The loan loss reserve at September 30, 1998 is an amount which
management believes is adequate given the level of non-performing assets and
management's assessment of loan risk.
INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO. The investment activities of the Bank are
designed to provide an investment alternative for funds not presently required
to meet loan demand, assist the Bank in meeting potential liquidity
requirements, assist in maximizing income consistent with quality and liquidity
requirements, supply collateral to secure public funds, provide a means for
balancing market and credit risks, and provide consistent income and market
value throughout changing economic times.
The Bank's portfolio consists primarily of obligations of the U.S.
government and its agencies, obligations of state and local governments, and
mortgage-backed securities. The Bank's investment portfolio does not contain
concentration of investments in any one issuer in excess of 10% of the Bank's
total investment portfolio. Exempt from this calculation are securities of the
U.S. government and U.S. government agencies.

million at December 31, 1996 to $33.3 million at December 31, 1997. Deposits
also increased from $33.7 million at December 31, 1995 to $34.0 million at
December 31, 1996.
REGULATORY CAPITAL. The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System has adopted risk based capital guidelines. Under these guidelines,
different categories of assets are assigned different risk weights ranging from
zero percent (such as cash) to 100 percent for relatively high-risk assets (such
as loans). Certain off-balance sheet items (such as letters of credit) are also
included in the capital adequacy computations.
43
<PAGE>
The table below sets forth the Bank's risk-based capital levels as
of September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997:
RISK BASED CAPITAL RATIOS

Leverage ratio 17.35% 5.00% 17.10% 5.00%
</TABLE>
As the table indicates, the Bank has a capital level well in excess
of the "well capitalized" requirement.
LIQUIDITY AND FUNDS MANAGEMENT. Liquidity management requires the
Bank to meet, in a timely fashion, contractual commitments and to respond to
other requirements for funds. The Bank has an Asset/Liability Management
Committee ("ALCO") responsible for managing balance sheet and off-balance sheet
commitments to meet the needs of customers while achieving financial objectives.
The Bank's ALCO meets regularly to review funding capacities, current and
forecasted loan demand and investment opportunities.
Asset liquidity is provided by regular maturities of loans and by
maintaining relatively liquid marketable investments securities and federal
funds. The Bank's investment securities due within one year, cash flow from
mortgage backed securities, and federal funds sold have historically been
adequate for funding needs. The Bank has a stable core deposit base with a
relatively small percentage of volatile funding. Jumbo CD's (over $100,000) of
$2.129 million at September 30, 1998 comprised 6.41% of total deposits. Jumbo
CD's (over $100,000) of $1.448 million at December 31, 1997 comprised only 4.35%
of total deposits.
INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY RISK. Significant changes in interest
rates affect the composition, yields and costs of balance sheet components. The
rate sensitivity of these assets and liabilities is monitored and matched to
control the risks associated with movement in rates. The ALCO meets regularly to
monitor and formulate strategies and policies to provide maximum
44
<PAGE>
levels of net interest income while maintaining acceptable levels of
interest-rate sensitivity, risk and liquidity. The primary object of rate
sensitivity management is to ensure earnings stability by minimizing the
sensitivity of net interest income to fluctuations in interest rates.

YEAR 2000 ISSUES
Dulaney Bancorp and the Bank and its subsidiaries are evaluating the
potential impact of what is commonly referred to as the "Year 2000" issue,
concerning the inability of certain information systems to properly recognize
and process dates containing the year 2000 and beyond. If not corrected, these
systems could fail or create erroneous results. The Bank has established a
dedicated Year 2000 committee which is working with every operational area
throughout the Bank. This committee has worked with management to commence the
following steps: (i) implementing a Year 2000 Action Plan for all items that may
be affected by the Year 2000 date change; (ii) communicating with customers to
help them understand the impact of the Year 2000 on their business with the
Bank; (iii) communicating with third parties that interact with the Bank to
ensure they are addressing the Year 2000 issue; (iv) communicating with hardware
and software suppliers to ensure Year 2000 compliance among their products; (v)
implementing hardware and software changes and replacements deemed necessary to
address the Year 2000 issue and (vi) developing a Contingency Plan including a
Year 2000 Disaster Recovery Plan.
Hardware testing of end-user computers of Dulaney Bancorp has been
completed and documented. Dulaney Bancorp expects to complete testing and
establish compliance with respect to all of its computer software by December
31, 1998, subject to possible equipment upgrades during 1999 and ongoing
communications with third parties. The software programs used by Dulaney Bancorp
have been prioritized based upon how critical they will be to the
47
<PAGE>
functioning of Dulaney Bancorp on January 1, 2000 and this prioritization will
be used to develop the final testing schedule to determine Year 2000 compliance.
Additionally, as a result of the Affiliation with ONB, ONB has
informed Dulaney Bancorp that it expects to convert Dulaney Bancorp and the Bank
to ONB's computer systems. Therefore, ONB's Year 2000 compliance is also
significant for Dulaney Bancorp and the Bank and has been discussed in periodic
reports that ONB has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Regardless of the expected Year 2000 compliance of Dulaney Bancorp's
systems, there can be no assurance that Dulaney Bancorp will not be adversely
affected by the failure of others to become Year 2000 compliant. Such risks may
include potential losses related to loans made to third parties whose businesses
are adversely affected by the Year 2000 issue, the disruption or inaccuracy of
data provided by non-Year 2000 compliant third parties and business disruption
caused by the failure of service providers, such as security and data processing
companies, to become Year 2000 compliant. Dulaney Bancorp has identified
critical third parties and is monitoring and tracking their Year 2000 readiness.
This process will determine third parties' abilities to continue as a supplier,
vendor or business partner of Dulaney Bancorp as the Year 2000 approaches.
Statements in this section which are not historical or current facts
are "forward-looking statements" made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements
regarding the timetable for Year 2000 compliance, Dulaney Bancorp's costs and
capital expenditures, the success of Dulaney Bancorp's and others' efforts to
achieve compliance, and the effects of the Year 2000 issue on Dulaney Bancorp's
future financial condition and results of operations. These statements are
subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to
differ materially from historical results and those presently anticipated or
projected. The following important factors, among others, could affect the
accuracy of these statements: (i) the inherent uncertainty of the costs and
timing of achieving compliance on the wide variety of systems used by Dulaney
Bancorp and the Bank, (ii) the reliance on the efforts of vendors, customers,
government agencies and other third parties to achieve adequate compliance and
avoid disruption of Dulaney Bancorp's business in early 2000; (iii) the
uncertainty of the ultimate costs and consequences of any unanticipated
disruption in Dulaney Bancorp's business resulting from the failure of one of
Dulaney Bancorp's applications or of a third party's systems; and (iv) any Year
2000 issues that may arise in
48
<PAGE>
connection with the conversion of the information systems of Dulaney Bancorp and
the Bank to ONB's information systems. The foregoing list is not exhaustive, and
Dulaney Bancorp disclaims any obligation subsequently to revise any
forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of
such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated
events.

REGULATORY CONSIDERATIONS
BANK HOLDING COMPANY REGULATION
ONB and Dulaney Bancorp are registered as bank holding companies and
are subject to the regulations of the Federal Reserve under the BHC Act. Bank
holding companies are required to file periodic reports with and are subject to
periodic examination by the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve has issued
regulations under the BHC Act requiring a bank holding company to serve as a
source of financial and managerial strength to its subsidiary banks. It is the
policy of the Federal Reserve that, pursuant to this requirement, a bank holding
company should stand ready to use its resources to provide adequate capital
funds to its subsidiary banks during periods of financial stress or adversity.
Additionally, under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of
1991 ("FDICIA"), a bank holding company is required to guarantee the compliance
of any insured depository institution subsidiary that may become
"undercapitalized" (as defined in the statute) with the terms of any capital
restoration plan filed by such subsidiary with its appropriate federal banking
agency up to the lesser of (i) an amount equal to 5% of the institution's total
assets at the time the institution became undercapitalized, or (ii) the amount
that is necessary (or would have been necessary) to bring the institution into
compliance with all applicable capital standards as of the time the institution
fails to comply with such capital restoration plan. Under the BHC Act, the
Federal Reserve has the authority to require a bank holding company to terminate
any activity or relinquish control of a nonbank subsidiary (other than a nonbank
subsidiary of a bank) upon the Federal Reserve's determination that such
activity or control constitutes a serious risk to the financial soundness and
stability of any bank subsidiary of the bank holding company.
ONB and Dulaney Bancorp are prohibited by the BHC Act from acquiring
direct or indirect control of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of any
class of voting stock or substantially all of the assets of any bank or savings
association or merging or consolidating with another bank holding company
without prior approval of the Federal Reserve. Additionally, ONB and Dulaney
Bancorp are prohibited by the BHC Act from engaging in or from acquiring
ownership or control of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of any class of
voting stock of any company engaged in a nonbanking business unless such
business is determined by the Federal Reserve to be so closely related to
banking as to be a proper incident thereto. The BHC Act does not place
territorial restrictions on the activities of such nonbanking-related
activities.

<PAGE>
CAPITAL ADEQUACY GUIDELINES FOR BANK HOLDING COMPANIES
Bank holding companies are required to comply with the Federal
Reserve's risk-based capital guidelines which require a minimum ratio of total
capital to risk-weighted assets (including certain off-balance sheet activities
such as standby letters of credit) of 8%. At least half of the total required
capital must be "Tier 1 capital," consisting principally of common shareholders'
equity, noncumulative perpetual preferred stock, a limited amount of cumulative
perpetual preferred stock and minority interest in the equity accounts of
consolidated subsidiaries, less certain goodwill items. The remainder ("Tier 2
capital") may consist of a limited amount of subordinated debt and
intermediate-term preferred stock, certain hybrid capital instruments and other
debt securities, cumulative perpetual preferred stock, and a limited amount of
the general loan loss allowance. In addition to the risk-based capital
guidelines, the Federal Reserve has adopted a Tier 1 (leverage) capital ratio
under which the bank holding company must maintain a minimum level of Tier 1
capital to average total consolidated assets of 3% in the case of bank holding
companies which have the highest regulatory examination ratings and are not
contemplating significant growth or expansion. All other bank holding companies
are expected to maintain a ratio of at least 1% to 2% above the stated minimum.
The following are ONB's and Dulaney Bancorp's regulatory capital
ratios as of September 30, 1998:
ONB DULANEY BANCORP
---------- --------------------
Tier 1 Capital: 11.49% 30.63%
Total Capital: 13.27% 31.89%
Leverage Ratio: 7.74% 17.35%
BANK REGULATION
The affiliate banks of ONB which are national banks and the Bank are
supervised, regulated and examined by the OCC. The affiliate banks of ONB which
are state banks chartered in Indiana, are supervised, regulated and examined by
the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions. ONB's affiliate banks
chartered in Kentucky are supervised, regulated and examined by the Kentucky
Department of Financial Institutions and those affiliate banks chartered in
Illinois are supervised, regulated and examined by the Illinois Commissioner. In
51
<PAGE>
addition, those ONB affiliate banks which are state banks and members of the
Federal Reserve are supervised and regulated by the Federal Reserve, and those
which are not members of the Federal Reserve are supervised and regulated by the
FDIC. The Bank is a national bank and is supervised, regulated and examined by
the OCC and will continue to be supervised, regulated and examined by this bank
regulatory agency following consummation of the Affiliation. Each regulator has
the authority to issue cease-and-desist orders if it determines that activities
of the bank regularly represent an unsafe and unsound banking practice or a
violation of law.
Both federal and state law extensively regulate various aspects of
the banking business such as reserve requirements, truth-in-lending and
truth-in-savings disclosure, equal credit opportunity, fair credit reporting,
trading in securities and other aspects of banking operations. Current federal
law also requires banks, among other things to make deposited funds available
within specified time periods.
Insured state-chartered banks are prohibited under FDICIA from
engaging as principal in activities that are not permitted for national banks,
unless (i) the FDIC determines that the activity would pose no significant risk
to the appropriate deposit insurance fund, and (ii) the bank is, and continues
to be, in compliance with all applicable capital standards.
BANK CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
The FDIC and the OCC have adopted risk-based capital ratio
guidelines to which state-chartered banks and national banks under their
respective supervision are subject. The guidelines establish a systematic
analytical framework that makes regulatory capital requirements more sensitive
to differences in risk profiles among banking organizations. Risk-based capital
ratios are determined by allocating assets and specified off-balance sheet
commitments to four risk weighted categories, with higher levels of capital
being required for the categories perceived as representing greater risk.
Like the capital guidelines established by the Federal Reserve,
these guidelines divide a bank's capital into two tiers. Banks are required to
maintain a total risk-based capital ratio of 8%. The FDIC or OCC may, however,
set higher capital requirements when a bank's particular circumstances warrant.
Banks experiencing or anticipating significant growth are expected to maintain
capital ratios, including tangible capital positions, well above the minimum
levels.
52
<PAGE>
In addition, the FDIC and OCC established guidelines prescribing a
minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio (Tier 1 capital to adjusted total assets as
specified in the guidelines). These guidelines provide for a minimum Tier 1
leverage ratio of 3% for banks that meet certain specified criteria, including
that they have the highest regulatory rating and are not experiencing or
anticipating significant growth. All other banks are required to maintain a Tier
1 leverage ratio of 3% plus an additional 100 to 200 basis points.
All of ONB's affiliate banks as well as the Bank exceed the
risk-based capital guidelines of the FDIC and OCC as of September 30, 1998.
FDICIA requires each federal banking agency to revise its risk-based
capital standards within 18 months of their enactment to ensure that those
standards take adequate account of interest rate risk, concentration of credit
risk and the risk of nontraditional activities, as well as reflect the actual
performance and expected risk of loss on multifamily mortgages. Banking
regulators continue to indicate their desire to raise capital requirements
applicable to banking organizations beyond their current levels. Neither ONB nor
Dulaney Bancorp is able to predict whether and when higher capital requirements
would be imposed and, if so, to what levels and on what schedule.
BRANCHES AND AFFILIATES
Branching by ONB affiliate banks in Indiana, Kentucky and Illinois
is subject to the jurisdiction, and requires the prior approval of, the bank's
primary federal regulatory authority and, if the branching bank is a state bank,
of the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions, Kentucky Department of
Financial Institutions or the Illinois Commissioner (depending upon the location
of the principal office of the bank).
ONB's affiliate banks and the Bank are subject to the Federal
Reserve Act, which restricts financial transactions between banks and affiliated
companies. The statute limits credit transactions between a bank and its
executive officers and its affiliates, prescribes terms and conditions for bank
affiliate transactions deemed to be consistent with safe and sound banking
practices, and restricts the types of collateral security permitted in
connection with a bank's extension of credit to an affiliate.
53
<PAGE>
FDICIA
FDICIA requires, among other things, federal bank regulatory
authorities to take "prompt corrective action" with respect to banks which do
not meet minimum capital requirements. For these purposes, FDICIA establishes
five capital tiers: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized,
significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized.
The FDIC has adopted regulations to implement the prompt corrective
action provisions of FDICIA. Among other things, the regulations define the
relevant capital measures for the five capital categories. An institution is
deemed to be "well capitalized" if it has a total risk-based capital ratio of
10% or greater, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6% or greater, and a
leverage ratio of 5% or greater, and is not subject to a regulatory order,
agreement or directive to meet and maintain a specific capital level for any
capital measure. An institution is deemed to be "adequately capitalized" if it
has a total risk-based capital ratio of 8% or greater, a Tier 1 risk-based
capital ratio of 4% or greater, and generally a leverage ratio 4% or greater. An
institution is deemed to be "undercapitalized" if it has a total risk-based
capital ratio of less than 8%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of less than
4%, or generally a leverage ratio of less than 4%, and "significantly
undercapitalized" if it has a total risk-based capital ratio of less than 6%, a
Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of less than 3%, or a leverage ratio of less
than 3%. An institution is deemed to be "critically undercapitalized" if it has
a ratio of tangible equity (as defined in the regulations) to total assets that
is equal to or less than 2%.
"Undercapitalized" banks are subject to growth limitations and are
required to submit a capital restoration plan. A bank's compliance with such
plan is required to be guaranteed by any company that controls the
undercapitalized institution as described above. If an "undercapitalized" bank
fails to submit an acceptable plan, it is treated as if it is significantly
undercapitalized. "Significantly undercapitalized" banks are subject to one or
more of a number of requirements and restrictions, including an order by the
FDIC to sell sufficient voting stock to become adequately capitalized,
requirements to reduce total assets and cease receipt of deposits from
correspondent banks, and restrictions on compensation of executive officers.
"Critically undercapitalized" institutions may not, beginning 60 days after
becoming "critically undercapitalized", make any payment of principal or
interest on certain subordinated debt or extend credit for a highly leveraged
transaction or enter into any transaction outside the ordinary course of
business. In addition, "critically undercapitalized" institutions are subject to
appointment of a receiver or conservator.
54
<PAGE>
DEPOSIT INSURANCE
The deposits of each of ONB's affiliate banks and Bank are insured
up to regulatory limits by the FDIC and, accordingly, are subject to deposit
insurance assessments to maintain the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") and the
Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") administered by the FDIC. The FDIC
has adopted regulations establishing a permanent risk-related deposit insurance
assessment system. Under this system, the FDIC places each insured bank in one
of nine risk categories based on (i) the bank's capitalization and (ii)
supervisory evaluations provided to the FDIC by the institution's primary
federal regulator. Each insured bank's insurance assessment rate is then
determined by the risk category in which it is classified by the FDIC.
Effective January 1, 1997, the annual insurance premiums on bank
deposits insured by the BIF and the SAIF vary between $0.00 per $100 of deposits
for banks classified in the highest capital and supervisory evaluation
categories to $0.27 per $100 of deposits for banks classified in the lowest
capital and supervisory evaluation categories.
The Deposit Insurance Funds Act of 1996 provides for assessments to
be imposed on insured depository institutions with respect to deposits insured
by the BIF and the SAIF (in addition to assessments currently imposed on
depository institutions with respect to BIF- and SAIF-insured deposits) to pay
for the cost of financing corporation ("FICO") funding. The FDIC established the
FICO assessment rates effective January 1, 1997 at $0.013 per $100 annually for
BIF-assessable deposits and $0.0648 per $100 annually for SAIF-assessable
deposits. The FICO assessments does not vary depending upon a depository
institution's capitalization or supervisory evaluations.
ADDITIONAL MATTERS
In addition to the matters discussed above, ONB's affiliate banks
and the Bank are subject to additional regulation of their activities, including
a variety of consumer protection regulations affecting their lending, deposit
and collection activities and regulations affecting secondary mortgage market
activities.
55
<PAGE>
The earnings of financial institutions are also affected by general
economic conditions and prevailing interest rates, both domestic and foreign and
by the monetary and fiscal policies of the United States Government and its
various agencies, particularly the Federal Reserve.
Additional legislation and administrative actions affecting the
banking industry may be considered by the United States Congress, state
legislatures and various regulatory agencies, including those referred to above.
It cannot be predicted with certainty whether such legislation of administrative
action will be enacted or the extent to which the banking industry in general or
ONB and its affiliate banks in particular would be affected thereby.
COMPARISON OF COMMON STOCK
The rights of holders of Dulaney Bancorp Common Stock who receive
ONB Common Stock in the Affiliation will be governed by the laws of the State of
Indiana, the state in which ONB is incorporated, and by ONB's Amended and
Restated Articles of Incorporation ("ONB's Articles of Incorporation") and ONB's
By-Laws, as amended ("ONB's By-Laws"). The rights of the shareholders of Dulaney
Bancorp are presently governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, the state
in which Dulaney Bancorp is incorporated, and by Dulaney Bancorp's Articles of
Incorporation and By-Laws. The rights of the shareholders of Dulaney Bancorp
differ in certain respects from the rights they would have as ONB shareholders,
including for ONB anti-takeover measures and the vote required for the amendment
of significant provisions of the articles of incorporation and for the approval
of significant corporate transactions. The following summary comparison of ONB
Common Stock and Dulaney Bancorp Common Stock includes all material features of
such shares but does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety
by reference to ONB's and Dulaney Bancorp's Articles of Incorporation and their
By-Laws.
AUTHORIZED BUT UNISSUED SHARES
ONB's Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of 50,000,000
shares of ONB Common Stock, of which approximately 27.5 million whole shares
were outstanding as of September 30, 1998. The remaining authorized but unissued
shares of common stock may be issued upon authorization of the Board of
Directors of ONB without prior shareholder approval. ONB 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
56
<PAGE>
for each class by the Board of Directors of ONB. No shares of preferred stock
are presently outstanding.
The Board of Directors of ONB has authorized a series of preferred
stock designated as Series A preferred stock. The Board of Directors of ONB has
designated 200,000 shares of Series A preferred stock in connection with the
shareholder rights plan of ONB. The ONB 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 Proxy Statement. See "COMPARISON OF COMMON STOCK --
AntiTakeover Provisions -- ONB's Shareholder Rights Plan" below.
As of ____________, 1998, ONB had approximately [182,653] shares of
ONB Common Stock reserved for issuance under ONB's Stock Purchase and Discounted
Dividend Reinvestment Plan and [1.5] million shares of its common stock reserved
for issuance upon conversion of its outstanding 8% convertible subordinated
debentures. Such debentures are convertible at any time prior to maturity,
unless previously redeemed, into shares of ONB Common Stock at a conversion rate
of [49.218] shares per $1,000 principal amount of debentures (equivalent to a
conversion price of approximately [$20.31] per share), subject to adjustment in
certain events.
The issuance of additional shares of ONB Common Stock or the
issuance of ONB preferred stock may adversely affect the interests of ONB
shareholders.
Dulaney Bancorp's Articles of Incorporation authorizes the issuance
of 160,000 shares of Dulaney Bancorp Common Stock, $20.00 par value per share,
29,497 of which were issued and outstanding, as of September 30, 1998. Following
the Affiliation, all of the outstanding shares of Dulaney Bancorp Common Stock
will convert to the right to receive 315,116 shares of ONB Common Stock, subject
to adjustment for stock dividends and stock splits and for certain changes in
market price of ONB Common Stock. See "PROPOSED AFFILIATION -- Exchange of
Dulaney Bancorp Common Stock."
PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS
As permitted by Indiana law, ONB's Articles of Incorporation do not
provide for preemptive rights to subscribe for any new or additional ONB Common
Stock or other securities.
57
<PAGE>
Preemptive rights may be granted to ONB's shareholders, respectively, if ONB's
Articles of Incorporation are amended accordingly. Under Dulaney Bancorp's
Articles of Incorporation, shareholders of Dulaney Bancorp do not have
preemptive rights to subscribe for any new or additional Dulaney Bancorp Common
Stock or other securities.
DIVIDEND RIGHTS
The holders of common stock of ONB and Dulaney Bancorp are entitled
to dividends and other distributions when, as and if declared by their
respective Boards of Directors out of funds legally available therefor. With
respect to ONB, a dividend may not be paid if, after giving it effect, (1) ONB
would not be able to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of
business, or (2) ONB's total assets would be less than the sum of its total
liabilities plus, unless ONB's Articles of Incorporation permitted otherwise,
the amount that would be needed to satisfy the preferential rights upon
dissolution of shareholders whose preferential rights are superior to those
receiving the dividend if ONB were to be dissolved at the time of the dividend.
With respect to Dulaney Bancorp, a dividend may not be paid if, after giving it
effect, (i) Dulaney Bancorp would be insolvent, or (ii) the net assets of
Dulaney Bancorp would be less than zero or less than the maximum amount payable
at the time of distribution to shareholders having preferential rights in
liquidation if Dulaney Bancorp was then to be liquidated.
The amount of dividends, if any, that may be declared by ONB in the
future will necessarily depend upon many factors, including, without limitation,
future earnings, capital requirements, business conditions and capital levels of
subsidiaries (since ONB is primarily dependent upon dividends paid by its
subsidiaries for its revenues), the discretion of ONB's Board of Directors and
other factors that may be appropriate in determining dividend policies.
Cash dividends paid to ONB by its Illinois-chartered affiliate banks
are limited by Illinois law to the bank's net profits then on hand, less losses
and statutorily-defined bad debts. Cash dividends paid to ONB by its
Indiana-chartered affiliate banks are limited by Indiana law to the balance of
the bank's undivided profits account adjusted for statutorily-defined bad debts.
Cash dividends paid to ONB by its Kentucky-chartered affiliate banks are limited
by Kentucky law to so much of the net profits of the banks, after deducting all
expenses, losses, bad or suspended debts and interest and taxes accrued or due
from the banks, as the boards of directors of the banks deem expedient. In
addition, the approval of the Kentucky Commissioner of Banks is required if the
total of all dividends declared by a Kentucky bank in any calendar year exceeds
58
<PAGE>
the bank's net profit for that year and the net retained profits from the
preceding two years, less any transfers to surplus or a fund for retirement of
preferred stock or debt. ONB's national affiliate banks may pay cash dividends
on their common stock only out of adjusted retained net profits for the year in
which the dividend is paid and the two preceding years.
Dividends paid by ONB's affiliate banks will ordinarily be
restricted to a lesser amount than is legally permissible because of the need
for the banks to maintain adequate capital consistent with the capital adequacy
guidelines promulgated by the banks' principal federal regulatory authorities.
See "REGULATORY CONSIDERATIONS". If a bank's capital levels are deemed
inadequate by the regulatory authorities, payment of dividends to its parent
holding company may be prohibited without prior regulatory approval. None of
ONB's affiliate banks are currently subject to such a restriction.
VOTING RIGHTS
The holders of the outstanding shares of ONB Common Stock and
Dulaney Bancorp Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters
presented for shareholder vote. Shareholders of ONB and Dulaney Bancorp do not
have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors.
Illinois law generally requires that a merger, consolidation, or
exchange of shares be approved by a shareholder vote of two-thirds of the votes
entitled to be cast at the shareholders meeting, subject to provisions in the
corporation's articles of incorporation requiring a lower or higher percentage
vote requirement not less than a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to
vote. Indiana law generally require that mergers, consolidations, sales, leases,
exchanges or other dispositions of all or substantially all of the assets of a
corporation be approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the issued and
outstanding shares entitled to vote at the shareholders meeting, subject in each
case to provisions in the corporation's articles of incorporation requiring a
higher percentage vote for certain transactions. ONB's Articles of Incorporation
provide that certain business combinations may, under certain circumstances,
require approval of more than a simple majority of the issued and outstanding
shares of ONB Common Stock. See "COMPARISON OF COMMON STOCK -- Anti-Takeover
Provisions".
Both Indiana and Illinois law require shareholder approval for most
amendments to a corporation's articles of incorporation -- under Indiana law, by
a majority of a quorum present at
59
<PAGE>
a shareholders' meeting (and, in certain cases, a majority of all shares held by
any voting group entitled to vote) and under Illinois law, by two-thirds of all
shares entitled to vote. Both Indiana and Illinois law permit a corporation in
its articles of incorporation to prescribe a higher shareholder vote for certain
amendments to the articles of incorporation and Illinois law permits a
corporation in its articles of incorporation to prescribe a lower shareholder
vote for certain amendments to the articles of incorporation, but not lower than
a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote. ONB's Articles of
Incorporation require a super-majority shareholder vote of eighty percent (80%)
of the outstanding shares of ONB Common Stock for the amendment of certain
significant provisions.
DISSENTERS' RIGHTS
The holders of Indiana business corporations possess dissenters'
rights in connection with certain mergers and other significant corporate
actions. Under Indiana law, a shareholder is entitled to dissent from and obtain
payment of the fair value of the shareholder's shares in the event of (1)
consummation of a plan of merger, if shareholder approval is required and the
shareholder is entitled to vote thereon, (2) consummation of a plan of share
exchange by which the shareholder's shares will be acquired, if the shareholder
is entitled to vote thereon, (3) consummation of a sale or exchange of all, or
substantially all, the property of the corporation other than in the usual
course of business, if the shareholder is entitled to vote thereon, (4) approval
of a control share acquisition under Indiana law, and (5) any corporate action
taken pursuant to a shareholder vote to the extent the articles of
incorporation, by-laws or a resolution of the Board of Directors provides that
voting or non-voting shareholders are entitled to dissent and obtain payment for
their shares.
The dissenters' rights provisions described above do not apply,
however, to the holders of shares of any class or series with respect to a
merger, share exchange or sale or exchange of property if the shares of that
class or series were registered on a United States securities exchange
registered under the Exchange Act or traded on the NASDAQ National Market System
or a similar market. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, shares of ONB
Common Stock are traded on the NASDAQ National Market System and, therefore, ONB
shareholders presently are not entitled to assert dissenters' rights under
Indiana law with respect to any of the transactions discussed above.
60
<PAGE>
With respect to dissenters' rights of the shareholders of Dulaney
Bancorp under Illinois law in connection with Affiliation, see the discussion
under the caption "PROPOSED AFFILIATION -- Rights of Dissenting Shareholders of
Dulaney Bancorp" and Appendix B.
LIQUIDATION RIGHTS
In the event of any liquidation or dissolution of ONB, the holders
of shares of ONB 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 ONB's liabilities and any rights of creditors and
holders of shares of ONB preferred stock then outstanding. In the event of any
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Dulaney Bancorp, the holders of shares
of Dulaney Bancorp 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 Dulaney Bancorp's liabilities and any rights of
creditors.
REDEMPTION
Under Indiana law, ONB may redeem or acquire shares of ONB Common
Stock with funds legally available therefor, and shares so acquired constitute
authorized but unissued shares. ONB may not redeem or acquire shares of ONB
Common Stock if, after giving such redemption or acquisition effect, ONB would
not be able to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business,
or ONB's total assets would be less than the sum of its total liabilities plus,
unless ONB's Articles of Incorporation permitted otherwise, the amount that
would be needed to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of
shareholders whose preferential rights are superior to those whose stock is
being redeemed or acquired if ONB were to be dissolved at the time of the
redemption or acquisition. Dulaney Bancorp has similar redemption rights under
Illinois law.
In addition, ONB and Dulaney Bancorp must give prior notice to the
Federal Reserve if the consideration to be paid by them for any redemption or
acquisition of their respective shares, when aggregated with the consideration
paid for all redemptions or acquisitions for the preceding twelve (12) months,
equals or exceeds 10% of their respective consolidated net worth.
61
<PAGE>
ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS
The shares of ONB Series A preferred stock are nonredeemable and,
unless otherwise provided in connection with the creation of a subsequent series
of preferred stock, are subordinate to all other series of preferred stock of
ONB. Each share of ONB Series A preferred stock will be entitled to receive,
when, as and if declared, a quarterly dividend in an amount equal to the greater
of $1.00 per share or 100 times the quarterly cash dividend declared on ONB
Common Stock. In addition, the ONB Series A preferred stock is entitled to 100
times any non-cash dividends (other than dividends payable in equity securities)
declared on the ONB Common Stock, in like kind. In the event of liquidation, the
holders of ONB Series A preferred stock will be entitled to receive a
liquidation payment in an amount equal to the greater of $100.00 per share or
100 times the liquidation payment made per share of ONB Common Stock. Each share
of ONB Series A preferred stock will have 100 votes, subject to adjustment,
voting together with the ONB Common Stock and not as a separate class unless
otherwise required by law or ONB's Articles of Incorporation. In the event of
any merger, consolidation or other transaction in which common shares are
exchanged, each share of ONB Series A preferred stock will be entitled to
receive 100 times the amount received per share of ONB Common Stock. The rights
of the ONB Series A preferred stock as to dividends, voting rights and
liquidation are protected by antidilution provisions. See "COMPARISON OF COMMON
STOCK -- Anti-Takeover Provisions".
The anti-takeover measures applicable to ONB as described below, may
have the effect of discouraging or rendering it more difficult for a person or
other entity to acquire control of ONB. These measures may have the effect of
discouraging certain tender offers for shares of ONB Common Stock which might
otherwise be made at premium prices or certain other acquisition transactions
which might be viewed favorably by a significant number of shareholders.
Indiana Law. Under the business combinations provision of Indiana
law, any 10% shareholder of an Indiana corporation, with a class of voting
shares registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act or which has specifically
adopted this provision in the corporation's articles of incorporation, is
prohibited for a period of five (5) years from completing a business combination
with the corporation unless, prior to the acquisition of such 10% interest, the
board of directors of the corporation approved either the acquisition of such
interest or the proposed business combination. Further, the corporation and a
10% shareholder may not consummate a
62
<PAGE>
business combination unless all provisions of the articles of incorporation of
the corporation are complied with and a majority of disinterested shareholders
approve the transaction or all shareholders receive a price per share determined
in accordance with the business combinations provision of Indiana law.
An Indiana corporation may elect to remove itself from the
protection provided by the Indiana business combinations provision, but such an
election remains ineffective for eighteen (18) months and does not apply to a
combination with a shareholder who acquired a 10% ownership position prior to
the effective time of the election. ONB is covered by the business combinations
provision of Indiana law and Dulaney Bancorp is not covered. The constitutional
validity of the business combinations provision of Indiana law has in the past
been challenged and has been upheld by the United States Supreme Court.
In addition to the business combinations provision, Indiana law also
contains a "control share acquisition" provision which, although different in
structure from the business combinations provision, may have a similar effect of
discouraging or making more difficult a hostile takeover of an Indiana
corporation. This provision also may have the effect of discouraging premium
bids for outstanding shares. Indiana law provides that, unless otherwise
provided in an Indiana corporation's articles of incorporation or by-laws,
certain acquisitions of shares of the corporation's common stock will be
accorded voting rights only if a majority of the disinterested shareholders
approves a resolution granting the potential acquiror the ability to vote such
shares. Upon disapproval of the resolution, the shares held by the acquiror
shall be redeemed by the corporation at the fair value of the shares as
determined by the control share acquisition provision.
This provision does not apply to a plan of affiliation and merger,
if the corporation complies with the applicable merger provisions and is a party
to the agreement of merger or plan of share exchange. ONB is subject to the
control share acquisition provision.
ONB's Articles of Incorporation. In addition to the protections
provided by Indiana law, ONB's Articles of Incorporation require the affirmative
vote of the holders of at least eighty percent (80%) of the issued and
outstanding shares of capital stock for any business combination which is not
recommended by the vote of two-thirds or more of the members of the Board of
Directors. For purposes of ONB's Articles of Incorporation, "business
combination" is defined to include: (1) a merger or consolidation of ONB with or
into any other corporation, (2) any
63
<PAGE>
sale, lease, exchange or other disposition of any material part of the assets of
ONB, or (3) any liquidation or dissolution of ONB or any material subsidiary of
ONB. Further, this provision cannot be altered, amended or repealed without the
affirmative vote of the holders of at least eighty percent (80%) of the issued
and outstanding shares of ONB Common Stock entitled to vote thereon.
ONB's Articles of Incorporation also include provisions requiring
(1) the Board of Directors to consider non-financial factors in the evaluation
of business combinations and tender or exchange offers, and (2) any person
acquiring fifteen percent (15%) of the then issued and outstanding stock of ONB
to pay equal consideration in connection with the acquisition of any further
shares. These provisions require an eighty percent (80%) affirmative vote of the
issued and outstanding shares of ONB Common Stock entitled to vote thereon in
order to be altered, amended or repealed.
ONB's Shareholder Rights Plan. On January 25, 1990, the Board of
Directors of ONB declared a dividend of one (1) right for each issued and
outstanding share of ONB Common Stock ("Right"). See "COMPARISON OF COMMON STOCK
- -- Authorized But Unissued Shares". The dividend was payable on March 15, 1990
to holders of record of ONB Common Stock at the close of business on March 1,
1990. Each Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from ONB
one-hundredth (1/100) of a share of ONB 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 ONB and Old National Bank in
Evansville, as Rights Agent.
The foregoing information concerning ONB's shareholder Rights Plan
does not purport to be complete. For additional information, see The Rights
Agreement, dated March 1, 1990, between ONB and Old National Bank in Evansville,
as Trustee, which is specifically incorporated herein by reference. See
"INCORPORATION OF CERTAIN DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE." The shares of ONB Common
Stock to be received by Dulaney Bancorp shareholders in the Affiliation will be
subject to the rights under the ONB Shareholder Rights Plan.
Illinois Law and Dulaney Bancorp's Articles of Incorporation. Under
the business combinations provision of the IBCA, any interested shareholder
(defined as a shareholder owning at least 15% of the outstanding shares of
common stock) of an Illinois corporation is
64
<PAGE>
prohibited for a period of three (3) years following the date on which the
shareholder becomes an interested shareholder from engaging in any business
combination with the corporation unless (i) the board of directors approves the
business combination prior to the shareholder becoming an interested
shareholder, or (ii) upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the
shareholder becoming an interested shareholder, the shareholder owned at least
85% of the voting shares of the corporation outstanding at the time the
transaction commenced, or (iii) the business combination is approved by the
board of directors and authorized in an annual or special meeting of
shareholders by at least a majority of the outstanding voting shares other than
those held by the interested shareholder.
Dulaney Bancorp is not covered by the IBCA's business combinations
provision, but it could elect to be covered through an amendment to Dulaney
Bancorp's Articles of Incorporation.
DIRECTOR LIABILITY
Under Indiana law, a director of ONB 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.
Under Illinois law, a director of Dulaney Bancorp may not be liable
by reason of serving as a director or for any action taken as a director if the
director acts in good faith and in a manner the director reasonably believed to
be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, as to any
criminal action, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. A
director may be liable for his negligence or misconduct in the performance of
his duty to the corporation.
DIRECTOR NOMINATIONS
ONB's By-Laws require that all nominations for election as directors
of ONB shall be made by the Board of Directors of ONB in accordance with the
By-Laws. Under the By-Laws, the Nominating Committee of the Board of Directors
of ONB ("Nominating Committee") is required to submit to the entire Board of
Directors its recommendation of nominees for election
65
<PAGE>
as directors of ONB prior to each annual or special meeting of shareholders at
which directors will be elected.
The Nominating Committee is comprised of five (5) directors of ONB,
none of whom is an officer or employee of ONB. The Nominating Committee
maintains the responsibility to recruit potential director candidates, recommend
changes to the entire Board of Directors concerning the size, composition and
responsibilities of the Board of Directors, review proxy documents received from
shareholders relating to the Board of Directors and review suggestions of
shareholders regarding nominees for election as directors. All such suggestions
of shareholders with respect to director nominations must be submitted in
writing to the Nominating Committee not less than 120 days prior to the date of
the annual or special meeting of shareholders at which directors will be
elected.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
-----------------------------
To the Shareholders of
Dulaney Bancorp, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of DULANEY
BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, changes in undivided profits and cash
flows for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995. These consolidated
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion of these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatements. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of DULANEY BANCORP, INC. AND
SUBSIDIARY, as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and
1995 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principals.

DULANEY BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995
NOTE 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations
--------------------
Dulaney Bancorp, Inc. is a one bank holding company
which owns Dulaney National Bank. Dulaney National Bank
is a full service banking institution located in
Marshall, Clark County, Illinois. Its principal market
is in Clark and the contiguous Illinois counties.
Consolidation
-------------
The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Dulaney Bancorp, Inc. and Dulaney National
Bank, after elimination of all significant inter-company
accounts and transactions.
Trust Assets
------------
Assets of the Trust department, other than trust cash on
deposit at the Bank, are not included in these financial
statements because they are not assets of the Bank.
Cash and Due From Banks and Federal Funds Sold
----------------------------------------------
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the
Company considers cash on hand, items in the process of
collection, amounts on deposit at correspondent banks
and federal funds sold to be cash equivalents. The Bank
is required to maintain certain liquidity ratios to meet
unanticipated deposit withdrawal requests which it
monitors on an ongoing basis.
Investment Securities
---------------------
"Available For Sale" securities are carried at market
value. Realized gains and losses on "available for sale"
securities are recorded in income using identified cost
on the trade date.
Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses
-----------------------------------
Loans are stated at the amount of unpaid principal,
reduced by unearned discount and an allowance for loan
losses. Unearned discount on installment loans is
recognized in income over the terms of the loans by the
interest method. Interest on other loans is calculated
by using the simple interest method on daily balances of
the principal amount outstanding. The allowance for loan
losses is established
F-9
<PAGE>
DULANEY BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995
through a provision for loan losses charged to expense.
Loans are charged against the allowance for losses when
management believes the collectibility of the principal
is unlikely. The allowance is an amount management
believes will be adequate to absorb possible losses on
existing loans that may become uncollectible, based on
evaluations of the collectibility of loans and prior
loan loss experience. Accrual of interest is
discontinued on a loan when management believes, after
considering economic and business conditions and
collection efforts, the borrower's financial condition
is such that collection of interest is doubtful.
Dulaney National Bank grants agribusiness, commercial
and residential loans to customers throughout east
central Illinois. Although the Bank has a diversified
loan portfolio, a substantial portion of its debtors'
abilities to honor their contracts is dependent upon the
agribusiness economic sector. The Bank has no extensions
of credit to any single borrower or group of related
borrowers in excess of $850,000.
Building and Equipment
----------------------
Building and equipment is recorded at cost and is
depreciated using straight-line and accelerated methods
over the following estimated useful lives:
Building 31.5 years
Office equipment 5 to 7 years
Vehicles 5 years
Maintenance and repair costs are included in operating
expense as incurred, while improvements which
substantially increase the useful lives of existing
building and equipment are capitalized. For the years
ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 $35,897, $37,564,
$45,098 was expensed for depreciation, respectively.
Use of Estimates
----------------
The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly,
actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 2. INVESTMENT SECURITIES
On January 1, 1994, Dulaney National Bank adopted
Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 (SFAS No. 115)
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities." SFAS No. 115 requires entities to classify
debt and equity securities as either "held to maturity"
or "available for sale". Under SFAS No. 115, "held to
maturity" securities are recorded at amortized cost,
whereas "available for sale" securities are carried at
market value. SFAS No. 115 further requires that
unrealized gains and losses on "available for sale"
securities be reported, net of tax, as a separate
component of equity capital.
In response to the Financial Accounting Standards Board
FASB 115, reassessment allowance and in reliance on the
Comptroller of the Currency recommendation, the Bank
elected to classify all of their securities as
"available for sale" effective November 30, 1995. Thus,
all of the securities were adjusted to market value with
the net unrealized gain (net of income tax) shown as a
component of equity capital. A comparison of the market
value of "available for sale" securities as of December
31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 with their adjusted cost is as
follows:

entities have a net operating loss carryforward of
approximately $313,000 for Illinois tax purposes, which
expires commencing in 2002. The loss carryforward is

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of
temporary differences between the carrying amounts of
assets and liabilities for financial statement reporting
purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.
The items giving rise to deferred tax liabilities are:
1) $25,975 of historical loan loss deductions taken for
tax purposes in excess of the amounts charged against
book income and 2) the recording of unrealized holding
gains and losses on marketable debt securities
promulgated by the provisions of FASB Statement 115. The
Federal taxes accrued of $190,805 in 1997, $143,126 in
1996 and $156,283 in 1995 are sufficient to cover the
tax currently due as well as the deferred tax
liabilities for the unrealized net holding gains and the
timing difference caused by the reserve for loan loss
provisions.

DULANEY BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995
NOTE 6. PENSION PLAN
The Company established a qualified 40 1(k) plan
covering all full-time employees during 1993. The
Company matches 50% of a participant's voluntary
contributions up to a maximum of 4% of a participant's
compensation. The Company's cost of this plan was
$7,455, $6,980, $6,962 in 1997, 1996 and 1995
respectively.
NOTE 7. REGULATORY MATTERS
Banking laws and regulations limit the amount of
dividends that may be paid without prior approval of the
Bank's regulatory agency. The amount of retained
earnings available for dividends is principally equal to
the last three years profits less dividends previously
declared and less any required transfers to surplus.
Banking regulations also require the Bank to maintain
certain minimum capital levels in relation to Bank
assets. At December 31, 1997, regulations require a
ratio of capital to risk-weighted assets of 8.0 percent.
The Bank's capital at December 31, 1997, as defined by
the regulations, was 32.34 percent of risk-weighted
assets. In addition, banks are expected to maintain a
leverage ratio of at least 3.0 percent. At December 31,
1997, the Bank's leverage ratio was 17.1 percent.
NOTE 8. CREDIT RISKS
The Bank maintains deposits and sells federal funds to
correspondent banks in amounts which exceed federally
insured limits. Management believes these correspondent
banks represent high quality financial institutions. The
Bank invests in unguaranteed debt instruments of state
and political subdivisions and secured pools of mortgage
backed securities. The credit ratings of the securities
are reviewed at the date of purchase and periodically
thereafter. The Bank grants agribusiness, commercial,
and residential loans to customers throughout the
midwest. Although the Bank has a diversified loan
portfolio, a substantial portion of its debtors' ability
to honor their contracts is dependent upon the
agribusiness economic sector.

APPENDIX A
AGREEMENT OF AFFILIATION AND MERGER
THIS AGREEMENT OF AFFILIATION AND MERGER ("Agreement") is made and
entered into effective as of the 5th day of November, 1998, by and between OLD
NATIONAL BANCORP ("ONB") and DULANEY BANCORP, INC. ("Dulaney").
W I T N E S S E T H:
--------------------
WHEREAS, ONB is an Indiana corporation registered as a bank holding
company under the federal Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended ("BHC
Act"), with its principal office located in Evansville, Vanderburgh County,
Indiana; and
WHEREAS, Dulaney is an Illinois corporation registered as a bank
holding company under the BHC Act, with its principal office located in
Marshall, Clark County, Illinois, and is the sole owner of Dulaney National
Bank, a national banking association ("Bank"); and
WHEREAS, it is the desire of ONB and Dulaney to affiliate through a
corporate reorganization whereby Dulaney will be merged with and into ONB and
Dulaney National Bank ("Bank") will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of ONB; and
WHEREAS, a majority of the entire Board of Directors of each of ONB
and Dulaney has approved this Agreement, authorized its execution and designated
this Agreement a plan of reorganization and a plan of merger.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises, the
representations, warranties, covenants and agreements herein contained and other
good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged, ONB and Dulaney hereby make this Agreement and prescribe the terms
and conditions of the affiliation of ONB and Dulaney and the mode of carrying
such merger into effect as follows:
SECTION 1
THE MERGER
----------
1.01. General Description. Upon the terms and subject to the
conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time (as defined in Section 10
hereof), Dulaney shall be merged with and into and under the Articles of
Incorporation of ONB ("Merger"). ONB shall survive the Merger ("Surviving
Corporation") and shall continue its corporate existence under the laws of the
State of Indiana pursuant to the provisions of and with the effect provided in
the Indiana Business Corporation Law, as amended. Upon consummation of the
Merger, Bank shall become a wholly-owned subsidiary of ONB.
A-1
<PAGE>
1.02. Name, Officers and Management. The name of the Surviving
Corporation shall be "Old National Bancorp." Its principal office shall be
located at 420 Main Street, Evansville, Indiana 47708. The officers of ONB
serving at the Effective Time shall continue to serve as the officers of the
Surviving Corporation, until such time as their successors shall have been duly
elected and have qualified. The directors of Dulaney shall cease to be directors
of Dulaney as of the Effective Time and shall not become directors of ONB after
the Effective Time. The directors of ONB as of the Effective Time shall remain
the directors of the Surviving Corporation, until such time as their successors
have been duly elected and have been qualified.
1.03. Capital Structure. The capital of the Surviving Corporation
shall be not less than the capital of ONB immediately prior to the Effective
Time.
1.04. Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws. The Articles of
Incorporation and ByLaws of ONB in existence at the Effective Time shall remain
the Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws of the Surviving Corporation following
the Effective Time, until such Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws shall be
further amended as provided by applicable law.
1.05. Assets and Liabilities. At the Effective Time, the title to
all assets, real estate and other property owned by Dulaney shall vest in ONB
without reversion or impairment. At the Effective Time, all liabilities of
Dulaney shall be assumed by ONB.
1.06. Tax-Free Reorganization. ONB and Dulaney intend for the Merger
to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 and related
sections of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Code"), and for the
Merger to be accounted for as a pooling-of-interest transaction. ONB and Dulaney
agree to cooperate and to take such action as may be reasonably necessary to
achieve such results.
SECTION 2
MANNER AND BASIS
OF EXCHANGE OF STOCK
--------------------
2.01. Exchange Ratio. (a) Upon and by virtue of the Merger becoming
effective at the Effective Time, each issued and outstanding share of Dulaney
Common Stock (as defined in Section 5.03 hereof), other than shares as to which
statutory dissenters rights are exercised, shall be converted into the right to
receive ten and six hundred eighty three one thousandths (10.683) shares of ONB
common stock ("Exchange Ratio"), subject to adjustment, if any, pursuant to the
provisions of Sections 2.01 and 2.03 hereof.
(b) As the Exchange Ratio was calculated based upon a per share
value of ONB common stock of $47.75, if the Average Price Per Share (as
hereinafter defined) of ONB common stock is greater than $52.525 or less than
$42.975, then the Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted prior to the Effective Time
as provided by Section 2.01(c) hereof.
A-2
<PAGE>
(c) The Average Price Per Share of ONB common stock shall mean and
be calculated based upon the average of the per share closing prices of ONB
common stock as reported on the National Association of Securities Dealers
Automated Quotation System ("NASDAQ") National Market System for the first five
(5) business days on which trades of shares of ONB common stock are reported on
NASDAQ within the ten (10) calendar days immediately preceding the Effective
Time ("Average Price Per Share"). The adjustment contemplated by Section 2.01(b)
hereof shall be applied in the following manner: (i) if the Average Price Per
Share of ONB common stock exceeds $52.525, then the Exchange Ratio shall be
adjusted such that each share of Dulaney Common Stock shall be converted into
the number of shares of ONB common stock resulting from the following formula:
$561.12 / Average Price Per Share; (ii) if the Average Price Per Share of ONB
common stock is less than $42.975, then the Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted
such that each share of Dulaney Common Stock shall be converted into the number
of shares of ONB common stock resulting from the following formula: $459.10 /
Average Price Per Share; and (iii) if the Average Price Per Share of ONB common
stock is not less than $42.975 nor more than $52.525, then there shall be no
adjustment to the Exchange Ratio.
2.02. No Fractional Shares. Certificates for fractional shares of
ONB common stock shall not be issued for fractional interests resulting from
application of the Exchange Ratio. Each shareholder of Dulaney who would
otherwise have been entitled to a fraction of a share of ONB common stock shall
be paid in cash following the Effective Time an amount equal to such fraction
multiplied by the Average Price Per Share.
2.03. Recapitalization. If, between the date of this Agreement and
the Effective Time, the record date occurs for the distribution or issuance by
ONB of a stock dividend with respect to its shares of common stock, or a
combination, subdivision, reclassification or split of ONB's issued and
outstanding shares of common stock, such that the number of issued and
outstanding shares of ONB common stock is increased or decreased, then the
Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted so that Dulaney's shareholders shall receive,
in the aggregate, such number of shares of ONB common stock representing the
same percentage of outstanding shares of ONB common stock at the Effective Time
as would have been represented by the number of shares of ONB common stock such
shareholders would have received if any of the foregoing actions had not
occurred.
2.04. Distribution of ONB Common Stock and Cash. (a) Following the
Effective Time, ONB shall mail to each Dulaney shareholder a letter of
transmittal providing instructions as to the transmittal to ONB of certificates
representing shares of Dulaney Common Stock and the issuance of shares of ONB
common stock in exchange therefor pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
(b) Following the Effective Time, distribution of stock certificates
representing shares of ONB common stock and any cash payment, without interest,
for fractional shares, if any, shall be made by ONB to each former shareholder
of Dulaney within twenty (20) business days following delivery to ONB of the
shareholder's certificate(s) representing its shares of Dulaney Common Stock
accompanied by a properly completed and executed letter of transmittal, all in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to ONB.
A-3
<PAGE>
(c) Following the Effective Time, stock certificates representing
shares of Dulaney Common Stock shall be deemed to evidence ownership of ONB
common stock for all corporate purposes other than the payment of dividends or
other distributions. No dividends or other distributions otherwise payable
subsequent to the Effective Time on shares of ONB common stock shall be paid to
any Dulaney shareholder entitled to receive the same until such shareholder has
surrendered to ONB his or her certificate or certificates representing Dulaney
Common Stock in exchange for a certificate or certificates representing ONB
common stock. Upon surrender of the certificates representing shares of Dulaney
Common Stock, there shall be paid in cash to the record holder of the new
certificate or certificates evidencing shares of ONB common stock the amount of
all dividends and other distributions, without interest thereon, withheld with
respect to such shares of ONB common stock.
(d) ONB shall be entitled to rely upon the stock transfer books of
Dulaney to establish the persons entitled to receive shares of ONB common stock
pursuant to this Agreement, which books shall be conclusive with respect to the
ownership of shares of Dulaney Common Stock.
(e) With respect to any certificate for shares of Dulaney Common
Stock which has been lost, stolen or destroyed, ONB shall be authorized to issue
common stock (or to pay cash as to fractional shares) to the registered owner of
such certificate upon receipt by ONB of an agreement to indemnify ONB against
loss from such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate and an affidavit of lost,
stolen or destroyed stock certificate, both in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to ONB, and upon compliance by the Dulaney shareholder with all
other reasonable requirements of ONB in connection with lost, stolen or
destroyed stock certificates.
SECTION 3
DISSENTING SHAREHOLDERS
-----------------------
Shareholders of Dulaney who properly exercise and perfect statutory
dissenters' rights shall have the rights accorded to dissenting shareholders
under Article 11 of the Illinois Business Corporations Act of 1983, as amended.
SECTION 4
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF DULANEY
-----------------------------------------
Dulaney hereby represents and warrants to ONB with respect to itself

4.01. Organization and Authority. Dulaney is a corporation duly

a national banking association duly organized and validly existing under the

A-19
<PAGE>
Compliant within a period of time calculated to result in no material disruption
of any of Dulaney's business operations. For purposes of this Section 4.28,
"Year 2000 Compliant" means that such Systems are designed to be used prior to,
during and after the Gregorian calendar year 2000 A.D. and will operate during

(financial or otherwise) or prospects of Dulaney.

Statements do not include any assets, liabilities or obligations or omit to
state any assets, liabilities or obligations, absolute or contingent, or any
other facts,
A-23

which Dulaney shareholders will be entitled to receive upon consummation of the
Merger pursuant to this Agreement will, at the Effective Time, be duly

by ONB in this Agreement, and no written report, statement, list, certificate,
materials or other information furnished or to be furnished by ONB to Dulaney
through and including the Effective Time in connection with this Agreement or

information which has been or shall be supplied by ONB with respect to its
financial condition, results of operations, business, assets, capital or
directors and officers for inclusion in the proxy statement-prospectus and
registration statement relating to the Merger), contains or shall contain (in
the case of information relating to the proxy statement-prospectus at the time

6.05. Restrictions Regarding Affiliates. Dulaney shall, within
thirty (30) days after the date of this Agreement and promptly thereafter until
the Effective Time to reflect any changes, provide ONB with a list identifying
each person who may be deemed to be an affiliate of Dulaney for purposes of Rule
145 under the 1933 Act. On or prior to the date of this Agreement or within ten
(10) days thereafter, Dulaney shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts
to cause each director, executive officer and other person who may be deemed to
be such an affiliate of Dulaney to deliver to ONB on or prior to the date of
this Agreement a written agreement, substantially in the form as attached hereto
as Exhibit A, providing that such person: (a) shall not sell, pledge, transfer,
dispose of or otherwise reduce his or her market risk with respect to the shares
of Dulaney Common Stock directly or indirectly owned or held by such person
during the thirty (30) day period prior to the Effective Time; and (b) will not
sell, pledge, transfer, dispose of or otherwise reduce his or her market risk
with respect to the shares of ONB common stock to be received by such person
pursuant to this Agreement: (i) until such time as financial results covering at
least 30 days of combined operations of ONB and Dulaney have been published as
and when required and within the meaning of Section 201.01 of the SEC's
Codification of Financial Reporting Policies, and (ii) unless such sales are

to Rule 145 under the 1933 Act or another exemption from registration under the
1933 Act.
6.06. Other Negotiations. On and after the date of this Agreement
and until the Effective Time or until this Agreement is terminated as herein
provided, except with the prior written approval of ONB, neither Dulaney nor
Bank shall permit or authorize their respective directors, officers, employees,
agents or representatives to, directly or indirectly, initiate, solicit or
encourage, or provide information to, any corporation, association, partnership,
person or other entity or group concerning any merger, consolidation, share
exchange, combination, purchase or sale of substantial assets, sale of shares of
common stock (or securities convertible or exchangeable into or otherwise
evidencing, or any agreement or instrument evidencing the right to acquire,
capital stock) or similar transaction relating to Dulaney or Bank or to which
Dulaney or Bank may become a party (all such transactions are hereinafter
referred to as
A-29
<PAGE>
"Acquisition Transactions"). Dulaney and Bank shall promptly communicate to ONB
the terms of any proposal or offer which either of them may receive with respect
to an Acquisition Transaction. Dulaney or Bank may, in response to an
unsolicitated written proposal with respect to an Acquisition Transaction from a
third party, furnish information to, and negotiate, explore or otherwise engage
in substantive discussions with such third party, and enter into any such
agreement, arrangement or understandings, in each case only if Dulaney's Board
of Directors, determines in good faith by majority vote, after consultation with
its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that failing to take such
action would be a breach of the fiduciary duties of Dulaney's Board of Directors
in connection with seeking an Acquisition Transaction, and that it is
substantially more favorable to the shareholders of Dulaney than the terms of
the Merger. This Section 6.06 shall not authorize Dulaney or Bank, or any of
their directors, officers, employees, agents or representatives, to initiate any
discussions or negotiations relative to an Acquisition Transaction with a third
party.
6.07. Press Releases. Except as required by law, neither Dulaney nor
Bank shall issue any press releases or make any other public announcements or
disclosures relating to the Merger without the prior consent of ONB, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
6.08. Disclosure Schedule Update. Dulaney shall promptly supplement,
amend and update, upon the occurrence of any change prior to the Effective Time,
and as of the Effective Time, the Disclosure Schedule with respect to any
matters or events hereafter arising which, if in existence or having occurred as
of the date of this Agreement, would have been required to be set forth or
described in the Disclosure Schedule or this Agreement and including, without
limitation, any fact which, if existing or known as of the date hereof, would
have made any of the representations or warranties of Dulaney contained herein
materially incorrect, untrue or misleading.
6.09. Information, Access Thereto, Confidentiality. ONB and its
respective representatives and agents shall, at all reasonable times during
normal business hours prior to the Effective Time, have full and continuing
access to the properties, facilities, operations, books and records of Dulaney
and Bank. ONB and its respective representatives and agents may, prior to the
Effective Time, make or cause to be made such reasonable investigation of the
operations, books, records and properties of Dulaney and Bank and of their
financial and legal condition as deemed necessary or advisable to familiarize
themselves with such operations, books, records, properties and other matters;
provided, however, that such access or investigation shall not interfere with
the normal business operations of Dulaney and Bank. Upon request, Dulaney and
Bank shall furnish ONB or its respective representatives or agents, their
attorneys' responses to external auditors requests for information, management
letters received from their external auditors and such financial, loan and
operating data and other information reasonably requested by ONB which has been
or is developed by Dulaney or Bank, their auditors, accountants or attorneys
(provided with respect to attorneys, such disclosure would not result in the
waiver by Dulaney or Bank of any claim of attorney-client privilege), and will
permit ONB and its respective representatives or agents to discuss such
information directly with any individual or firm performing auditing or
accounting functions for Dulaney and Bank, and such auditors and accountants
shall be directed to furnish copies of any reports or financial information as
A-30
<PAGE>
developed to ONB or its respective representatives or agents. No investigation
by ONB shall affect the representations and warranties made by Dulaney or Bank
herein. ONB shall not use any such information obtained pursuant to this
Agreement for any purpose unrelated to the Merger. Any confidential information
or trade secrets received by ONB or its representatives or agents in the course
of such examination (whether conducted prior to or after the date of this
Agreement) shall be treated confidentially, and any correspondence, memoranda,
records, copies, documents and electronic or other media of any kind containing
such confidential information or trade secrets or both shall be destroyed by ONB
or, at Dulaney's request, returned to Dulaney in the event this Agreement is
terminated as provided in Section 9 hereof. This Section 6.09 shall not require
the disclosure of any information to ONB which would be prohibited by law.
6.10. Subsequent Dulaney Financial Statements. As soon as reasonably
available after the date of this Agreement, Dulaney shall deliver to ONB the
monthly unaudited consolidated balance sheets and profit and loss statements of
Dulaney prepared for its internal use, Bank's Call Reports for each quarterly
period completed prior to the Effective Time, and all other financial reports or
statements submitted to regulatory authorities after the date hereof, to the
extent permitted by law (collectively, "Subsequent Dulaney Financial
Statements"). The Subsequent Dulaney Financial Statements shall be prepared on a
basis consistent with past accounting practices and generally accepted
accounting principles applied on a consistent basis to the extent applicable and
shall present fairly the financial condition and results of operations as of the
dates and for the periods presented, subject to year end audit adjustments and
the absence of footnotes for interim statements. The Subsequent Dulaney
Financial Statements, including the notes thereto, will not include any assets,
liabilities or obligations or omit to state any assets, liabilities or
obligations, absolute or contingent, or any other facts, which inclusion or
omission would render such financial statements inaccurate, incomplete or
misleading in any respect.
6.11. Employee Benefits. Neither the terms of Section 7.03 hereof
nor the provision of any employee benefits by ONB or any of its subsidiaries to
employees of Dulaney shall: (a) create any employment contract, agreement or
understanding with or employment rights for, or constitute a commitment or
obligation of employment to, any of the officers or employees of Dulaney; or (b)
prohibit or restrict ONB or its subsidiaries, whether before or after the
Effective Time, from changing, amending or terminating any employee benefits
provided to its employees from time to time.
6.12. Disposition of Dulaney Tax-Qualified Plans. Dulaney and Bank
shall take all necessary corporate action to effectuate the disposition of the
tax-qualified Dulaney Plans sponsored by them as provided in this Section 6.12
and Section 7.03 hereof.
(a) Merger of Dulaney 401(k) Plan. The Dulaney 401(k) Profit Sharing
Plan ("Dulaney 401(k) Plan") shall be merged with and into the ONB Savings Plan
(as hereafter defined). All account balances maintained under the Dulaney 401(k)
Plan shall become fully vested on the day on which the Effective Time occurs.
From the date of this Agreement through the date on which the Dulaney 401(k)
Plan is merged into the ONB Savings Plan, Dulaney and
A-31
<PAGE>
Bank may continue to make contributions to the Dulaney 401(k) Plan so long as
such contributions are comparable in amount to any past contributions to such
plan.
(b) Effective Date of Disposition of Dulaney Plans. The disposition
of the Dulaney 401(k) Plan, as described in the preceding provisions of this
Section 6.12, shall be effective as of the last day of the month in which the

Disposition Date, the employees of Dulaney and Bank can become participants
under the ONB Savings Plan in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.03(b)
hereof.

than thirty (30) days prior to the Effective Time, ONB and Dulaney shall have
received the written opinion of counsel to Dulaney directed to both ONB and
Dulaney, in form and content satisfactory to ONB and its counsel, to the effect
that assuming that the ONB Savings Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the
Code on the date of the merger, the merger of the Dulaney 401(k) Plan with and
into the ONB Savings Plan, will not affect the tax qualified status of either
plan.
(d) Dulaney and Bank shall timely pay in full any early termination
fee or premium payable as a result of the merger of the Dulaney 401(k) Plan with
the ONB Savings Plans.
(e) Dulaney and Bank shall cooperate with ONB in and shall take all
necessary action to effectuate the disposition of the Dulaney Plans, as provided
in Section 7.03 hereof. Dulaney shall be responsible for and shall pay all costs

(a) Additional Information. Furnish such additional information,
statements and other reports with respect to Dulaney's Year 2000 compliance (and
its approach to and progress towards achieving compliance) with Section 4.28
hereof as ONB may request from time to time.
(b) Notice of Changes. In the event of any change in circumstances
that causes or will likely cause any of Dulaney's representations and warranties
set forth in Section 4.28 hereof ("Year 2000 Compliance") to no longer be true
(hereinafter referred to as a "Change in Circumstances"), then Dulaney shall
promptly, and in any event within ten (10) days of receipt of information
regarding a Change in Circumstances, provide ONB with written notice ("Notice")
that describes in reasonable detail the Change in Circumstances and how such
Change in Circumstances caused or will likely cause Dulaney's representations
and warranties set forth in Section 4.28 hereof to no longer be true. Dulaney
shall, within ten (10) days of a request, also provide ONB with any additional
information ONB requests of Dulaney in connection with the Notice and/or a

Dulaney with any securities exchange or the Securities and Exchange
A-32
<PAGE>
Commission or any successor agency, and of any order issued by any Governmental
Authority in any proceeding to which Dulaney is a party. For purposes of this
provision, "Governmental Authority" shall mean any government (or any political
subdivision or jurisdiction thereof), court, bureau, agency or other
governmental entity having or asserting jurisdiction over Dulaney or any of its
business, operations or properties.
(d) Audits. Give any representative of ONB access during all
business hours to, and permit such representative to examine, copy or make
excerpts from, any and all books, records and documents in the possession of
Dulaney and relating to its affairs, and to inspect any of the properties and
Systems of Dulaney, and to project test the Systems to determine if they are
Year 2000 Compliant in an integrated environment, all at the sole cost and
expense of ONB.

subject to Section 7.03(b), (c) and (d) hereof, substantially the same employee
benefits on substantially the same terms and conditions that ONB may offer to
similarly situated officers and employees of its banking subsidiaries from time
to time. Until such time as the employees of Dulaney and Bank become covered by
the ONB welfare benefit plans, the employees of Dulaney and Bank shall remain
covered by the Dulaney Plans which cover such employees, subject to the terms of
such plans.
(b) Subject to the provisions of subsection (c) hereof, years of
service (as defined in the applicable ONB plan) of an officer or employee of

for purposes of: (i) eligibility under ONB's employee welfare benefit plans;
(ii) eligibility and vesting, but not for purposes of benefit accrual or

accrual or contributions, under the ONB Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP").

otherwise meet the eligibility requirements of the ONB Pension Plan, based upon
their age and years of Dulaney or Bank service, shall become participants
thereunder no later than the January 1st which coincides with or next follows
the Effective Time. Those officers or employees who do not meet the eligibility
requirements of the ONB Pension Plan, ONB Profit Sharing Plan or ESOP on such
dates shall become participants thereunder on the first plan entry date under
the ONB Pension Plan, the ONB Profit Sharing Plan or ESOP, as the case may be,

requirements are satisfied.

(c) No full-time officer or employee of Dulaney or Bank serving as
of the Effective Time shall be subject to any pre-existing condition exclusions

hundred seventy (270) days immediately preceding the Effective Time.

restrict ONB or its subsidiaries, whether before or after the Effective Time,
from changing, amending or terminating any employee benefits provided to its
employees from time to time.

disposition of the Dulaney Plans provided by Section 6.12 hereof.

number of shares of ONB common stock to be issued pursuant to this Agreement and
take all other necessary corporate action to consummate the Merger contemplated
hereby.
7.05. Press Releases. Except as required by law, ONB shall not issue
any press releases or make any other public announcements or disclosures
relating primarily to Dulaney with respect to the Merger without the prior
consent of Dulaney, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
7.06. Indemnification. (a) From and after the Effective Time, ONB
shall assume and honor any obligations as provided for and permitted by
applicable federal and state law which Dulaney had immediately prior to the
Effective Time with respect to the indemnification of each person who is on the
date hereof, or has been at any time prior to the date hereof or who becomes
prior to the Effective Time, a director or officer of Dulaney or was serving at
the request of Dulaney as a director or officer of any domestic or foreign
corporation, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise
(collectively, the "Indemnitees") arising out of Dulaney's Certificate of
Incorporation or By-Laws in effect at the Effective Time against any and all
losses in connection with or arising out of any claim which is based upon,
arises out of or in any way relates to any actual or alleged act or omission
occurring at or prior to the Effective Time in the Indemnitee's capacity as a
director or officer (whether elected or appointed), of Dulaney. Indemnification
of officers and directors of Bank following the Effective Time will be provided
to the same extent it is provided from time to time to other persons working in
similar capacities for ONB or its subsidiaries following the Effective Time.

Section 7.06.
(c) ONB shall maintain in effect for not less than one (1) year from

most recently maintained by Dulaney; provided, however, that ONB may substitute
therefor policies with reputable and financially sound carriers for
substantially similar coverage containing terms and conditions which are no less
advantageous for so long as such substitution does not result in gaps or lapses
in coverage with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring
prior to the Effective Time. ONB shall pay all expenses, including attorneys'
fees, that may be incurred by any Indemnitee in enforcing the indemnity and
other obligations provided for in this Section 7.06.
(d) The provisions of this Section 7.06 are intended to be for the

APPENDIX B
ILLINOIS DISSENTERS' RIGHTS LAW
UNDER THE ILLINOIS BUSINESS CORPORATION ACT OF 1983
5/11.65. RIGHT TO DISSENT
s 11.65. Right to dissent. (a) A shareholder of a corporation is entitled
to dissent from, and obtain payment for his or her shares in the event of any of
the following corporate actions:
(1) consummation of a plan of merger or consolidation or a plan of
share exchange to which the corporation is a party if (i) shareholder
authorization is required for the merger or consolidation or the share
exchange by Section 11.20 or the articles of incorporation or (ii) the
corporation is a subsidiary that is merged with its parent or another
subsidiary under Section 11.30;
(2) consummation of a sale, lease or exchange of all, or
substantially all, of the property and assets of the corporation other
than in the usual and regular course of business;
(3) an amendment of the articles of incorporation that materially
and adversely affects rights in respect of a dissenter's shares because
it:
(i) alters or abolishes a preferential right of such shares;
(ii) alters or abolishes a right in respect of redemption,
including a provision respecting a sinking fund for the
redemption or repurchase, of such shares;
(iii) in the case of a corporation incorporated prior to
January 1, 1982, limits or eliminates cumulative voting
rights with respect to such shares; or
(4) any other corporate action taken pursuant to a shareholder vote
if the articles of incorporation, by-laws, or a resolution of the board of
directors provide that shareholders are entitled to dissent and obtain
payment for their shares in accordance with the procedures set forth in
Section 11.70 or as may be otherwise provided in the articles, by-laws or
resolution.
(b) A shareholder entitled to dissent and obtain payment for his or her
shares under this Section may not challenge the corporate action creating his or
her entitlement unless the action is fraudulent with respect to the shareholder
or the corporation or constitutes a breach of a fiduciary duty owed to the
shareholder.
(c) A record owner of shares may assert dissenters' rights as to fewer
than all the shares recorded in such person's name only if such person dissents
with respect to all shares beneficially owned by any one person and notifies the
corporation in writing of the name and address of each person on whose behalf
the record owner asserts dissenters' rights. The rights of
B-1
<PAGE>
a partial dissenter are determined as if the shares as to which dissent is made
and the other shares were recorded in the names of different shareholders. A
beneficial owner of shares who is not the record owner may assert dissenters'
rights as to shares held on such person's behalf only if the beneficial owner
submits to the corporation the record owner's written consent to the dissent
before or at the same time the beneficial owner asserts dissenters' rights.
5/11.70. PROCEDURE TO DISSENT
s 11.70. Procedure to Dissent. (a) If the corporate action giving rise to
the right to dissent is to be approved at a meeting of shareholders, the notice
of meeting shall inform the shareholders of their right to dissent and the
procedure to dissent. If, prior to the meeting, the corporation furnishes to the
shareholders material information with respect to the transaction that will
objectively enable a shareholder to vote on the transaction and to determine
whether or not to exercise dissenters' rights, a shareholder may assert
dissenters' rights only if the shareholder delivers to the corporation before
the vote is taken a written demand for payment for his or her shares if the
proposed action is consummated, and the shareholder does not vote in favor of
the proposed action.
(b) If the corporate action giving rise to the right to dissent is not to
be approved at a meeting of shareholders, the notice to shareholders describing
the action taken under Section 11.30 or Section 7.10 shall inform the
shareholders of their right to dissent and the procedure to dissent. If, prior
to or concurrently with the notice, the corporation furnishes to the
shareholders material information with respect to the transaction that will
objectively enable a shareholder to determine whether or not to exercise
dissenters' rights, a shareholder may assert dissenter's rights only if he or
she delivers to the corporation within 30 days from the date of mailing the
notice a written demand for payment for his or her shares.
(c) Within 10 days after the date on which the corporate action giving
rise to the right to dissent is effective or 30 days after the shareholder
delivers to the corporation the written demand for payment, whichever is later,
the corporation shall send each shareholder who has delivered a written demand
for payment a statement setting forth the opinion of the corporation as to the
estimated fair value of the shares, the corporation's latest balance sheet as of
the end of a fiscal year ending not earlier than 16 months before the delivery
of the statement, together with the statement of income for that year and the
latest available interim financial statements, and either a commitment to pay
for the shares of the dissenting shareholder at the estimated fair value thereof
upon transmittal to the corporation of the certificate or certificates, or other
evidence of ownership, with respect to the shares, or instructions to the
dissenting shareholder to sell his or her shares within 10 days after delivery
of the corporation's statement to the shareholder. The corporation may instruct
the shareholder to sell only if there is a public market for the shares at which
the shares may be readily sold. If the shareholder does not sell within that 10
day period after being so instructed by the corporation, for purposes of this
Section the shareholder shall be deemed to have sold his or her shares at the
average closing price of the shares, if listed on a national exchange, or the
average of the bid and asked price with respect to
B-2
<PAGE>
the shares quoted by a principal market maker, if not listed on a national
exchange, during that 10 day period.
(d) A shareholder who makes written demand for payment under this Section
retains all other rights of a shareholder until those rights are cancelled or
modified by the consummation of the proposed corporate action. Upon consummation
of that action, the corporation shall pay to each dissenter who transmits to the
corporation the certificate or other evidence of ownership of the shares the
amount the corporation estimates to be the fair value of the shares, plus
accrued interest, accompanied by a written explanation of how the interest was
calculated.
(e) If the shareholder does not agree with the opinion of the corporation
as to the estimated fair value of the shares or the amount of interest due, the
shareholder, within 30 days from the delivery of the corporation's statement of
value, shall notify the corporation in writing of the shareholder's estimated
fair value and amount of interest due and demand payment for the difference
between the shareholder's estimate of fair value and interest due and the amount
of the payment by the corporation or the proceeds of sale by the shareholder,
whichever is applicable because of the procedure for which the corporation opted
pursuant to subsection (c).
(f) If, within 60 days from delivery to the corporation of the shareholder
notification of estimate of fair value of the shares and interest due, the
corporation and the dissenting shareholder have not agreed in writing upon the
fair value of the shares and interest due, the corporation shall either pay the
difference in value demanded by the shareholder, with interest, or file a
petition in the circuit court of the county in which either the registered
office or the principal office of the corporation is located, requesting the
court to determine the fair value of the shares and interest due. The
corporation shall make all dissenters, whether or not residents of this State,
whose demands remain unsettled parties to the proceeding as an action against
their shares and all parties shall be served with a copy of the petition.
Nonresidents may be served by registered or certified mail or by publication as
provided by law. Failure of the corporation to commence an action pursuant to
this Section shall not limit or affect the right of the dissenting shareholders
to otherwise commence an action as permitted by law.
(g) The jurisdiction of the court in which the proceeding is commenced
under subsection (f) by a corporation is plenary and exclusive. The court may
appoint one or more persons as appraisers to receive evidence and recommend
decision on the question of fair value. The appraisers have the power described
in the order appointing them, or in any amendment to it.
(h) Each dissenter made a party to the proceeding is entitled to judgment
for the amount, if any, by which the court finds that the fair value of his or
her shares, plus interest, exceeds the amount paid by the corporation or the
proceeds of sale by the shareholder, whichever amount is applicable.
(i) The court, in a proceeding commenced under subsection (f), shall
determine all costs of the proceeding, including the reasonable compensation and
expenses of the appraisers, if any, appointed by the court under subsection (g),
but shall exclude the fees and expenses of counsel and experts for the
respective parties. If the fair value of the shares as determined by the court
B-3
<PAGE>
materially exceeds the amount which the corporation estimated to be the fair
value of the shares or if no estimate was made in accordance with subsection
(c), then all or any part of the costs may be assessed against the corporation.
If the amount which any dissenter estimated to be the fair value of the shares
materially exceeds the fair value of the shares as determined by the court, then
all or any part of the costs may be assessed against that dissenter. The court
may also assess the fees and expenses of counsel and experts for the respective
parties, in amounts the court finds equitable, as follows:
(1) Against the corporation and in favor of any or all dissenters if
the court finds that the corporation did not substantially comply with the
requirements of subsections (a), (b), (c), (d), or (f).
(2) Against either the corporation or a dissenter and in favor of
any other party if the court finds that the party against whom the fees
and expenses are assessed acted arbitrarily, vexatiously, or not in good
faith with respect to the rights provided by this Section.
If the court finds that the services of counsel for any dissenter were of
substantial benefit to other dissenters similarly situated and that the fees for
those services should not be assessed against the corporation, the court may
award to that counsel reasonable fees to be paid out of the amounts awarded to
the dissenters who are benefited. Except as otherwise provided in this Section,
the practice, procedure, judgment and costs shall be governed by the Code of
Civil Procedure.
(j) As used in this Section:
(1) "Fair value", with respect to a dissenter's shares, means the
value of the shares immediately before the consummation of the corporate
action to which the dissenter objects excluding any appreciation or
depreciation in anticipation of the corporate action, unless exclusion
would be inequitable.
(2) "Interest" means interest from the effective date of the
corporate action until the date of payment, at the average rate currently
paid by the corporation on its principal bank loans or, if none, at a rate
that is fair and equitable under all the circumstances.

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
ITEM 20. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
The Registrant's Articles of Incorporation provide that the Registrant
will indemnify any person who is or was a director, officer or employee of the
Registrant or of any other corporation for which he is or was serving in any
capacity at the request of the Registrant against all liability and expense that
may be incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit or proceeding with
respect to which such director, officer or employee is wholly successful or
acted in good faith in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed
to, the best interests of the Registrant or such other corporation and, with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe
that his conduct was unlawful. A director, officer or employee of the Registrant

cases, such director, officer or employee will be indemnified only if the Board
of Directors of the Registrant or independent legal counsel finds that he has
met the standards of conduct set forth above.

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes 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.
(b) (1) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes as follows: that
prior to any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through
the use of a prospectus which is a part of this registration statement, by any
person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule
145(c), the issuer undertakes that such reoffering prospectus will contain the
information called for by the applicable registration form with respect to
reofferings by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the
information called for by the other Items of the applicable form.
(2) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that every
prospectus (i) that is filed pursuant to paragraph (b)(1) immediately preceding
or (ii) that purports to meet the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Act,
and is used in connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415,
will be filed as a part of an amendment to the registration statement and will
not be used until such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Act, each such post-effective amendment
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.

<PAGE>
(c) 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.
(d) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests
for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant
to Items 4, 10(b), 11 or 13 of this Form, within one business day of receipt of
such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or
other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents
filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the
date of responding to the request.
(e) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a
post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the
company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and
included in the registration statement when it became effective.

RE: Issuance of Shares of Common Stock of Old National Bancorp in
connection with the Acquisition of Dulaney Bancorp, Inc. and its
affiliate, Dulaney National Bank
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have represented Old National Bancorp ("ONB"), Evansville, Indiana, as
special counsel in connection with the preparation and filing of a Registration
Statement on Form S-4 ("Registration Statement") with the Securities and
Exchange Commission for the purpose of registering shares of ONB's no par value
common stock under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Shares"). The Shares
are to be issued to non-dissenting shareholders of Dulaney Bancorp, Inc.
("Dulaney Bancorp"), Marshall, Illinois, in connection with the proposed merger
of Dulaney Bancorp into ONB ("Merger"), as specified in the Agreement of
Affiliation and Merger, dated November 5, 1998 ("Agreement"), by and between ONB
and Dulaney Bancorp. The Merger will be accomplished and the Shares will be
issued pursuant to the specific terms of the Agreement. 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 if and when the Merger is
consummated, the Shares will, when issued to non-dissenting shareholders of
Dulaney Bancorp in accordance with all of the terms and conditions of the
Agreement, 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 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

RE: Merger of Dulaney Bancorp, Inc. into Old National Bancorp and the
Exchange of Common Stock of Dulaney Bancorp, Inc. for Common Stock
of Old National Bancorp
Ladies and Gentlemen:
The respective Boards of Directors of Old National Bancorp ("ONB") and
Dulaney Bancorp, Inc. ("Dulaney") have requested our opinion as to certain
federal income tax consequences of a reorganization involving ONB and Dulaney.
In summary, the proposed transaction involves the merger of Dulaney with
and into ONB ("Merger"), with ONB as the surviving entity. The surviving entity
shall be known as Old National Bancorp. In consideration of the Merger,
non-dissenting Dulaney shareholders will receive ONB common stock in exchange
for their shares of Dulaney common stock. Upon and after consummation of the
Merger, Dulaney's wholly-owned subsidiary, Dulaney National Bank ("Bank"), will
be a wholly-owned subsidiary of ONB.
FACTS
-----
In connection with the Merger, the following facts have been provided to
us, and we have relied upon them for purposes of this opinion:
A. OLD NATIONAL BANCORP
--------------------
ONB has its principal office at 420 Main Street, Evansville, Vanderburgh
County, Indiana 47708. ONB is a corporation duly incorporated and existing under
the laws of the State of Indiana and is a registered bank holding company under
the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. As of September 30, 1998, ONB
had 50,000,000 shares of voting, no par value common stock authorized, of which
approximately 27.5 million shares were issued and outstanding. ONB common stock
is traded in the over-the-counter market and stock prices are reported on the
NASDAQ National Market System. No shareholder of ONB holds five percent (5%) or
more of ONB's outstanding common stock.
<PAGE>
Old National Bancorp
Dulaney Bancorp, Inc.
__________, 199___
ONB also has 2,000,000 shares of Series A, no par value, preferred stock
authorized. The preferred stock has no stated dividend rate. No shares of ONB
preferred stock have been issued, and ONB presently has no intent and no
commitments to issue any of such shares. However, during the first fiscal
quarter of 1990, ONB declared and paid a dividend in the form of rights
("Rights") to purchase shares of its Series A preferred stock pursuant to a
Rights Agreement. One Right was issued for each outstanding share of ONB common
stock. Subsequent issuances of ONB common stock also included such Rights. Each
Right entitles the holder thereof, upon the occurrence of certain events
involving a change in control of ONB, to purchase from ONB 1/100 of a share of
the Series A preferred stock at an initial purchase price equal to $60.00,
subject to adjustment. Unless earlier exercised or redeemed, the Rights will
expire at the close of business on March 1, 2000. A Right is transferred
automatically with a transfer of each underlying share of ONB common stock, and
future issuances of ONB common stock will also include such Rights.
ONB maintains its accounting on a calendar year basis, and computes its
income under the accrual method of accounting. ONB is the parent corporation of
an affiliated group of subsidiaries consisting of twenty-one (21) operating
banks, one insurance company, one realty company, three (3) national trust
companies, and one data processing company ("ONB Group"). The ONB Group files a
consolidated federal income tax return and will continue to file consolidated
federal income tax returns after the effective time of the Merger.
B. DULANEY BANCORP, INC.
---------------------
Dulaney has its principal office at 415 Archer Avenue, Marshall, Illinois
62441. Dulaney is a corporation duly incorporated and existing under the laws of
the State of Illinois and is a registered bank holding company under the Bank
Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. As of September 30, 1998, Dulaney had
160,000 shares of voting, $20 par value common stock authorized, of which 29,497
shares are issued and outstanding. As of September 30, 1998, there were
approximately 80 shareholders of Dulaney. The common stock of Dulaney is not
actively traded and there has never been an established public trading market
for the stock. Certain persons beneficially own more than five percent (5%) or
more of Dulaney's outstanding common stock.
Dulaney maintains its accounting on a calendar year basis, and computes
its income under the accrual method of accounting. Dulaney is the parent
corporation for the Bank, its only subsidiary.
BUSINESS PURPOSES
-----------------
The shareholders of ONB and the shareholders of Dulaney desire to
reorganize their stock interests to accomplish the following business
objectives, among others:
<PAGE>
Old National Bancorp
Dulaney Bancorp, Inc.
__________, 199___
1. To obtain greater financial and managerial strength for future
growth and to achieve economies of scale and other operational
benefits.
2. To provide the shareholders of Dulaney an interest in a more
widely-held enterprise with potentially more marketable stock.
3. To allow ONB and the Bank to compete more effectively with other
banking organizations and to enable the Bank to provide new and
broader services to its customers.
PROPOSED TRANSACTION
--------------------
As used herein, "Code" refers to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, and "Regulations" refers to regulations promulgated thereunder by the
Secretary of the Treasury, all as in effect as of the date of this opinion.
To accomplish the objectives specified above, ONB and Dulaney entered into
an Agreement of Affiliation and Merger, dated November 5, 1998 ("Agreement").
Under the terms of the Agreement, Dulaney will merge with and into ONB, and the
Bank will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of ONB. At the effective time of the
Merger, each issued and outstanding share of Dulaney common stock will be
converted into the right to receive 10.683 shares of ONB common stock, subject
to adjustment, if any, as provided for in the Agreement.
No fractional shares of ONB common stock will be issued with respect to
fractional share interests arising from the exchange ratio specified above.
Rather, any shareholder of Dulaney entitled to a fractional share interest of
ONB common stock will receive cash in lieu thereof in an amount equal to the
fraction of the average of the per share closing prices of ONB common stock as
reported on the NASDAQ National Market System for the first five (5) business
days on which shares of ONB common stock are traded within the ten (10) calendar
days immediately preceding the effective time of the Merger. The payment of cash
in lieu of fractional share interests of ONB common stock is solely for the
purpose of avoiding the expense and inconvenience to ONB of issuing fractional
shares of its common stock and does not represent separately bargained-for
consideration.
No cash or other property, except for ONB common stock and cash paid in
lieu of fractional shares, will be allocated to the shareholders of Dulaney,
other than to dissenting shareholders, if any, who have the right to receive
cash for the value of their shares of Dulaney common stock upon the proper and
timely exercise of their dissenters' rights as provided by applicable law.
Dissenting shareholders of Dulaney who have properly perfected their dissenters'
rights have the right to receive cash for the value of their shares of Dulaney
common stock in an amount to be determined under the laws of the State of
Illinois.
<PAGE>
Old National Bancorp
Dulaney Bancorp, Inc.
__________, 199___
The Agreement will be submitted to the shareholders of Dulaney for their
approval at a special meeting called and held in accordance with applicable law
and with Dulaney's Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws. The holders of
majority of the outstanding shares of Dulaney common stock and a majority of the
Board of Directors of Dulaney must approve the Merger. Approval of the Merger by
the shareholders of ONB is not required or contemplated.
The Merger requires the prior approval of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System which has not yet been received.
The shares of ONB common stock will, when issued to non-dissenting
shareholders of Dulaney in accordance with the Agreement, be validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable and registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended.
ASSUMPTIONS
-----------
In connection with the Merger, we have relied upon the following
assumptions for the purpose of issuing this opinion:
1. The fair market value of the ONB common stock and other consideration
received by each Dulaney shareholder will be approximately equal to the fair
market value of the Dulaney common stock surrendered in the exchange.
2. There is no plan or intention by the shareholders of Dulaney who own
one percent (1%) or more of the outstanding shares of Dulaney common stock and,
to the best knowledge of Dulaney management, there is no plan or intention on
the part of the remaining shareholders of Dulaney, to sell, exchange or
otherwise dispose of a number of shares of ONB common stock received in the
transaction that would reduce the Dulaney shareholders' ownership of ONB common
stock to be received in the Merger to a number of shares having a value, as of
the effective time of the Merger, of less than fifty percent (50%) of the value
of all of the formerly outstanding common stock of Dulaney. For purposes of this
assumption, shares of Dulaney common stock exchanged for cash or other property,
surrendered by dissenters, or exchanged for cash in lieu of fractional shares of
ONB common stock will be treated as outstanding Dulaney common stock at the
effective time of the Merger. Moreover, shares of Dulaney common stock and
shares of ONB common stock held by Dulaney shareholders and otherwise sold,
redeemed, or disposed of prior or subsequent to the Merger have been considered
in making this assumption.
3. ONB has no plan or intention to reacquire any of its common stock
issued in the Merger. ONB may, however, acquire ONB common stock on a periodic
basis through purchases on an anonymous basis on the open market at open market
prices.
<PAGE>
Old National Bancorp
Dulaney Bancorp, Inc.
__________, 199___
4. ONB has no plan or intention to sell or otherwise dispose of any of the
assets of Dulaney acquired in the Merger, except for dispositions made in the
ordinary course of business or transfers described in Section 368(a)(2)(C) of
the Code.
5. The liabilities of Dulaney assumed by ONB and the liabilities to which
the transferred assets of Dulaney are subject were incurred by Dulaney in the
ordinary course of its business.
6. Following the Merger, ONB will continue the historic business of
Dulaney or use a significant portion of Dulaney's historic business assets in a
business.
7. ONB, Dulaney, and the shareholders of Dulaney will pay their respective
expenses, if any, incurred in connection with the Merger.
8. There is no intercorporate indebtedness existing between ONB and
Dulaney that was issued, acquired or will be settled at a discount.
9. No parties to the Merger are investment companies as defined in Section
368(a)(2)(F)(iii) and (iv) of the Code.
10. Dulaney is not under the jurisdiction of a court in a Title 11 or
similar case within the meaning of Section 368(a)(3)(A) of the Code.
11. The fair market value of the assets of Dulaney transferred to ONB will
equal or exceed the sum of the liabilities assumed by ONB plus the amount of
liabilities, if any, to which the transferred assets are subject.
12. The payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares of ONB common stock
resulting from the exchange ratio is solely for the purpose of avoiding the
expense and inconvenience to ONB of issuing fractional shares of ONB common
stock and does not represent separately bargained-for consideration. The total
cash consideration that will be paid in the Merger to the Dulaney shareholders
instead of issuing fractional shares of ONB common stock will not exceed one
percent (1%) of the total consideration that will be issued in the Merger to the
Dulaney shareholders in exchange for their shares of Dulaney common stock. The
fractional share interests of each Dulaney shareholder will be aggregated, and
no Dulaney shareholder will receive cash in an amount equal to or greater than
the value of one full share of ONB common stock.
13. None of the compensation received by any shareholder-employee of
Dulaney will be separate consideration for, or allocable to, any of their shares
of Dulaney common stock; none of the shares of ONB common stock received by any
shareholder-employee of Dulaney will be separate consideration for, or allocable
to, any employment agreement; and the compensation
<PAGE>
Old National Bancorp
Dulaney Bancorp, Inc.
__________, 199___
paid to any shareholder-employee of Dulaney will be for services actually
rendered and will be commensurate with amounts paid to third parties bargaining
at arm's-length for similar services.
14. The shareholders of Dulaney (immediately before the Merger) receiving
shares of ONB common stock in the Merger will not own (immediately after the
Merger) more than fifty percent (50%) of the fair market value of ONB common
stock.
OPINION
-------
Based solely upon the facts, assumptions and other information set forth
above, and so long as such facts, assumptions and other information are true and
correct on the date of the consummation of the Merger, it is our opinion with
respect to the Merger that:
1. Provided that the merger of Dulaney with and into ONB qualifies as a
statutory merger under applicable law, the proposed merger will
constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section
368(a)(1)(A) of the Code.
2. Dulaney will recognize no gain or loss upon the transfer of all of
its assets to ONB in exchange for ONB common stock issued to Dulaney
shareholders, cash paid to dissenting Dulaney shareholders, if any,
or to Dulaney shareholders in lieu of fractional shares of ONB
common stock, and the assumption by ONB of all of Dulaney's
liabilities.
3. No gain or loss will be recognized by ONB on the receipt of the
assets of Dulaney in exchange for common stock of ONB.
4. The shareholders of Dulaney will recognize no gain or loss upon the
exchange of their shares of Dulaney common stock solely for shares
of ONB common stock.
The opinion expressed herein represents our conclusions as to the
application of existing federal income tax law to the facts as presented to us
relating to the Merger, and we give no assurance that changes in such law or any
interpretation thereof will not affect the opinion expressed by us. Moreover,
there can be no assurance that this opinion will not be challenged by the
Internal Revenue Service or that a court considering the issues will not hold
contrary to such opinion. We express no opinion on the treatment of the Merger
under the income tax laws of any state or other taxing jurisdiction. We assume
no obligation to advise you of any changes concerning the above, whether or not
deemed material, which may hereafter come or be brought to our attention. The
opinions expressed herein are a matter of professional judgment and are not a
guarantee of result.
This opinion is addressed to you and is solely for your use in connection
with the Merger and your role as members of your respective Boards of Directors.
We assume no professional responsibility to any other person or entity
whatsoever, including, without limitation, any

shareholder of ONB or shareholder of Dulaney. Accordingly, the opinion expressed
herein is not to be 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, our prior written consent.
