Background
A. The Company adopted the Old National Bancorp Amended and Restated 2008 Incentive Compensation Plan (“Plan”) to further the growth and financial success of the Company and its Affiliates by aligning the interests of participating officers and key employees (“participants”) more closely with those of the Company’s shareholders, providing participants with an additional incentive for excellent individual performance, and promoting teamwork among participants.
B. The Company believes that the goals of the Plan can be achieved by granting Performance Units to eligible officers and other key employees.

(e) “Internal Performance Unit” means a contingent right awarded pursuant to this Agreement for distribution of a Share upon attainment of the Performance Goals as set forth in Appendix A.
(f) “Maximum Performance” means the Performance Goal achievement required for the maximum permissible distribution with respect to an Internal Performance Unit, as set out in Appendix A, or a Relative Performance Unit, as set out in Appendix B.

2. Incorporation of Plan Terms.

3. Award of Performance Units. The Committee has awarded the Participant Internal Performance Units and Relative Performance Units, effective as of the Grant Date, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement.
4. Contingent Distribution on Account of Performance Units.
(a) Except as provided in Section 5, no distribution shall be made with respect to any Internal Performance Unit or Relative Performance Unit, unless (i) the respective Minimum Performance is achieved or exceeded in accordance with the Performance Goal set out in the applicable Appendix, and (ii) the Participant (A) is continually employed by the Company and/or an Affiliate at all times from the award of the Performance Units until the date on which Shares are distributed pursuant to Subsection (c) below; provided, however, the Committee may, in its discretion, waive the continuous employment requirement in this clause (ii), or (B) Terminates Service during the Performance Period on account of his death, Disability, or Retirement.
(b) All distributions on account of a Performance Unit shall be made in the form of Shares. The Unadjusted Share Distribution with respect to a Performance Unit, if any, is dependent on the Company’s achievement of the Performance Goals, as specified in Appendix A and Appendix B. By way of example, if Target Performance for the Performance Period is achieved but not exceeded with respect to each Performance Goal, the Unadjusted Share Distribution shall consist of one share of the Company’s voting common stock (“Share”). The number of Shares distributed on account of a Performance Unit shall be increased by the Dividend Adjustment to determine the Adjusted Share Distribution and reduced by applicable tax withholding as provided in Section 9. If, after reduction for tax withholding, the Participant is entitled to a fractional Share, the net number of Shares distributed to the Participant shall be rounded down to the next whole number of Shares.
(c) Except as expressly provided in Section 5, the Company shall distribute the Adjusted Share Distribution, reduced to reflect tax withholding, on the date the Company files its Form 10K with the US Securities and Exchange Commission in the calendar year following the year in which the Performance Period ends.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, reduce the number of Shares that may be distributed as determined pursuant to the Adjusted Share Distribution calculation set forth above. The preceding sentence shall not apply to a distribution made pursuant to Section 5.
(e) If a Participant Terminates Service during the Performance Period on account of Participant’s Disability or Retirement, Participant’s Performance Units shall remain outstanding as if Participant had not Terminated Service, and payments with respect to such Performance Units shall be made at the same time and subject to the same performance requirements as payments that are made to Participants who did not incur a Termination of Service during the applicable Performance Period.
(f) If a Participant Terminates Service due to death during the Performance Period, the performance requirements with respect to the Participant’s Performance Units shall lapse, and the Participant’s Beneficiary shall, on the date of such Termination of Service, be fully entitled to payment under such Performance Units as if targeted performance had been achieved and the Performance Period ended on the date of the Participant’s death, and such payments shall be made within sixty (60) days after the Participant’s death.
3
5. Change in Control. If a Change in Control occurs during the Performance Period, Article XVI of the Plan shall govern the disposition of Performance Units awarded under this Agreement.
6. Dividend Adjustment. Except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, a Dividend Adjustment shall be added to the Unadjusted Share Distribution. The Dividend Adjustment shall be a number of Units equal to the number of Units that would have resulted, if each dividend paid during the Performance Period on the Shares included in the Unadjusted Share Distribution had been immediately reinvested in Shares.
7. Performance Goals. The applicable Performance Goals, the weight given to each Performance Goal, and the Minimum Performance, Target Performance, and Maximum Performance are set out in Appendix A and Appendix B.
8. Participant’s Representations. The Participant agrees, upon request by the Company and before the distribution of Shares with respect to the Performance Units, to provide written investment representations as reasonably requested by the Company. The Participant also agrees that, if he or she is a member of the Company’s Executive Leadership Group at the time the Shares are distributed, and if at that time he or she has not satisfied the Company’s Stock Ownership guidelines, the Participant will continue to hold the Shares received in the Distribution, net of any shares withheld for taxes, until such time as the Participant has satisfied the Company’s Stock Ownership requirement.
9. Income and Employment Tax Withholding. All required federal, state, city, and local income and employment taxes that arise on account of the Performance Units shall be satisfied through the withholding of Shares otherwise distributable pursuant to this Agreement.
10. Nontransferability. The Participant’s interest in the Performance Units or any distribution with respect to such units may not be (i) sold, transferred, assigned, margined, encumbered, bequeathed, gifted, alienated, hypothecated, pledged, or otherwise disposed of, whether by operation of law, whether voluntarily or involuntarily or otherwise, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, or (ii) subject to execution, attachment, or similar process. Any attempted or purported transfer in contravention of this Section shall be null and void ab initio and of no force or effect whatsoever.
11. Indemnity. The Participant hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its Affiliates (and their respective directors, officers and employees), and the Committee, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses based upon or arising out of the incorrectness or alleged incorrectness of any representation made by Participant to the Company or any failure on the part of the Participant to perform any agreements contained herein. The Participant hereby further agrees to release and hold harmless the Company and its Affiliates (and their respective directors, officers and employees) from and against any tax liability, including without limitation, interest and penalties, incurred by the Participant in connection with his or her participation in the Plan.
4
12. Changes in Shares. In the event of any change in the Shares, as described in Section 4.04 of the Plan, the Committee, consistent with the principles set out in such Section, will make appropriate adjustment or substitution in the number of Performance Units, so that the contingent economic value of a Performance Units remains substantially the same.

APPENDIX A TO 2018 PERFORMANCE AWARD AGREEMENT (Internal Performance
Factors) – APPENDIX INCOMPLETE – IN PROCESS OF BEING FINALIZED
Grant Date: January 25, 2018
Performance Shares Awarded: See Section 3 of the Agreement
Performance Period: January 1, 2018, through December 31, 2020
Internal Factors for Determining Amount Payable Pursuant to Performance Award
The number of Shares payable on account of a Performance Share (before any Dividend Adjustment or tax withholding) will be based on the result of the following performance factor (“Performance Factor”) during the Performance Period:
| • | Return on Average Tangible Common Equity |
Definitions Related to Internal Performance Factors
Return on Average Common Tangible Equity (ROATCE): ROATCE is defined as net income, excluding tax-affected amortization of intangibles, as a percent of average tangible common equity for the final year of the performance period. Net Income is defined as GAAP Net Income, as reported in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year excluding, however, non-recurring charges under GAAP, branch closure, severance and acquisition one-time charges that occur in 2020.
Tangible Common Equity is calculated by subtracting intangible assets and goodwill from the Company’s GAAP common equity.
Performance Weighting Fraction
“Performance Weighting Fraction” means the relative importance of each performance measure in evaluating performance and determining the number of Shares to be distributed (before any Dividend Adjustment or tax withholding) with respect to each Performance Share. The following weight has been assigned to the performance factor:
| ROATCE |
| 100% |
Calculation of Performance (Performance schedule in process of being finalized)
For the Performance Factor, the performance level will be determined at the end of the Performance Period. The performance level will then be multiplied by the Performance Weighting Fraction, resulting in the Company’s Performance Level. The table below shows the percentage of Shares to be issued with respect to each Performance Share (before any Dividend Adjustment or tax withholding) at various performance levels.

Timing of Award Determination and Distribution
Once performance results for the Company are known and approved by the auditors, the Compensation Committee will review and approve the final performance results for the Performance Factor. The Compensation Committee reserves the right to use negative discretion to reduce the amount of any payment. The Shares will be distributed in accordance with the timing setforth in Section 4(c) of this Agreement.
