AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

This Agreement and Plan of Merger (this “Plan of Merger”) is made as of July 25, 2014, by and between Old National Bancorp, an Indiana corporation (“Purchaser”), and Founders Financial Corporation, a Michigan corporation (“Company”).

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

1. The respective Boards of Directors of each of Company and Purchaser have determined that it is in the best interests of their respective corporations and shareholders that Company and Purchaser engage in a merger of Company with and into Purchaser (the “Merger”) in accordance with the terms of this Plan of Merger, the Indiana Business Corporation Law (the “IBCL”) and the Michigan Business Corporation Act (the “MBCA”), as applicable, and any other applicable Law; and

2. The Company Board of Directors has, in light of and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Plan of Merger, resolved to adopt this Plan of Merger, to authorize the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by it and to recommend approval by the Company Shareholders of this Plan of Merger; and

3. The Purchaser Board of Directors has, in light of and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Plan of Merger, resolved to adopt this Plan of Merger and to authorize the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by it; and

4. For federal income tax purposes, it is intended that the Merger shall qualify as a reorganization under the provisions of Section 368(a)(1)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and this Plan of Merger is intended to be and is adopted as a “Plan of Reorganization” for the purposes of Sections 354 and 361 of the Code.

5. All of the members of the Company Board of Directors have executed and delivered to Purchaser a voting agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.

In consideration of the representations, warranties, mutual covenants and agreements contained in this Plan of Merger, Company and Purchaser agree:

ARTICLE I

THE MERGER

1.1 Merger. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan of Merger, at the Effective Time, Company shall be merged with and into Purchaser and the separate corporate existence of Company shall cease. Company and Purchaser are each sometimes referred to as a “Constituent Corporation” prior to the Merger. At the Effective Time, the Constituent Corporations shall become a single corporation, which corporation shall be Purchaser (the “Surviving Corporation”). The effect of the Merger upon each of the Constituent Corporations and the Surviving Corporation shall be as provided in the IBCL and the MBCA, as applicable, with respect to the merger of corporations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and

subject to the IBCL and the MBCA, as applicable, at the Effective Time: (a) all the rights, privileges, powers, franchises, licenses, and interests in and to every type of property (whether real, personal, or mixed) of Company and Purchaser, shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, (b) all choses in action of Company and Purchaser shall continue unaffected and uninterrupted by the Merger and shall accrue to the Surviving Corporation, and (c) all debts, liabilities and duties of Company and Purchaser shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

1.2 The Closing. Company and Purchaser shall consummate the Merger (the “Closing”) (a) at the offices of Xxxxx XxXxxxx LLP, at 10:00 a.m., local time, on a date to be agreed upon by Company and Purchaser, which will be not later than two Business Days following satisfaction or waiver of the last of the conditions to Closing contained in Article VI (other than any conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing) or (b) at such other place and time or on such other date as Company and Purchaser may mutually determine (the date on which the Closing actually occurs is referred to as the “Closing Date”).

1.3 Effective Time of Merger. Upon completion of the Closing, Company and Purchaser shall each promptly execute and file a certificate of merger as required by the MBCA and the IBCL to effect the Merger (collectively, the “Certificates of Merger”, and individually, a “Certificate of Merger”). No party shall take any action to revoke a Certificate of Merger after its filing without the written consent of the other party. The “Effective Time” of the Merger shall be the time and date when the Merger becomes effective as set forth in the Certificates of Merger, which may be the last day of the month in which the Closing occurs.

1.4 Additional Actions. At any time after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation may determine that deeds, assignments, or assurances or any other acts are necessary or desirable to vest, perfect, or confirm, of record or otherwise, in the Surviving Corporation its rights, title, or interest in, to, or under any of the rights, properties, or assets of Company and Purchaser acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Corporation as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger, or to otherwise carry out the purposes of this Plan of Merger. Company and Purchaser grant to the Surviving Corporation an irrevocable power of attorney to execute and deliver all such deeds, assignments, and assurances and to do all acts necessary, proper, or convenient to accomplish this purpose. This irrevocable power of attorney shall only be operative following the Effective Time and at such time the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be fully authorized in the name of Company and Purchaser to take any and all such actions contemplated by this Plan of Merger.

1.5 Surviving Corporation. At the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall have the following attributes until they are subsequently changed in the manner provided by Law:

1.5.1 Name. The name of the Surviving Corporation shall be “Old National Bancorp”.

1.5.2 Articles of Incorporation. The articles of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be the articles of incorporation of Purchaser as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, without change.

1.5.3 Bylaws. The bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall be the bylaws of Purchaser as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, without change.

1.5.4 Officers. The officers of the Surviving Corporation shall be the officers of Purchaser immediately before the Effective Time.

1.5.5 Directors. The directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be the directors of Purchaser immediately before the Effective Time.

1.6 Reservation of Right to Revise Structure. At Purchaser’s election, the Merger may alternatively be structured so that (a) Company is merged with and into any other direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Purchaser or (b) any direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Purchaser is merged with and into Company; provided, however, that no such change shall (i) alter or change the amount or kind of the Merger Consideration or the treatment of the holders of Company Common Stock or Company Share-Based Awards, (ii) prevent the parties from obtaining the opinions of counsel referred to in Section 6.2.5 and Section 6.3.5 or otherwise cause the transaction to fail to qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment, or (iii) materially impede or delay consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Plan of Merger. In the event of such an election, the parties agree to execute an appropriate amendment to this Plan of Merger (to the extent such amendment only changes the method of effecting the business combination and does not substantively affect this Plan of Merger or the rights and obligations of the parties or their respective shareholders) in order to reflect such election.

ARTICLE II

EFFECT OF MERGER ON CAPITAL STOCK

2.1 Conversion of Securities. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Company, Purchaser or any other Person:

2.1.1 Cancellation of Excluded Shares. Each share of Company Common Stock that is owned by Company (or by any of its wholly-owned Subsidiaries) or Purchaser (or by any of its wholly-owned Subsidiaries) (collectively, the “Excluded Shares”, provided, however, that Excluded Shares shall not include Trust Account Shares or DPC Shares as defined in this Plan of Merger) immediately before the Effective Time will automatically be canceled and cease to exist without delivery of any consideration in exchange for or in respect of any Excluded Share.

2.1.2 Conversion of Common Stock. Each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than the Excluded Shares) shall be converted into the right to receive (i) $38.00 in cash (the “Cash Consideration”) and (ii) 3.25 (the “Exchange Ratio”) fully paid and nonassessable shares of Purchaser Common Stock (collectively, the “Merger Consideration”), whereupon such shares of Company Common Stock will no longer be outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares of Company Common Stock will cease to exist, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration, and any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.4, upon surrender of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, in accordance with Section 2.3. No interest shall be paid or will accrue on any payment to holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares pursuant to the provisions of this Article II.

2.2 Stock Plans.

2.2.1 Company and Purchaser shall take all requisite action so that, as of the Effective Time, each right of any kind, contingent or accrued, to receive Company Common Stock or benefits measured in whole or in part by the value of a number of shares of Company Common Stock under the Company Stock Plans (each, an “Award”), whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to represent an Award with respect to Company Common Stock, and shall be converted by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of that Award, into an award (as converted, a “Converted Stock-Based Award”) with respect to a number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock equal to the product of (a) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Award, multiplied by (b) the sum of (i) the Exchange Ratio and (ii) $38.00 divided by the Final Purchaser Price (the “Converted Stock-Based Award Ratio”). As of the Effective Time, Purchaser will assume each of the Company Stock Plans.

2.2.2 All Converted Stock-Based Awards shall continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions set forth in the applicable Company Stock Plan and agreement to which such Converted Stock-Based Award was subject immediately prior to the Effective Time, except as otherwise provided in this Plan of Merger. The exercise price (if any) per share of Purchaser Common Stock applicable to any Converted Stock-Based Award shall be equal to (a) the per share exercise price of such Award immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (b) the Converted Stock-Based Award Ratio. Prior to the Effective Time, Company shall make such amendments and take such other actions with respect to the Company Stock Plans as shall be necessary to effect the adjustment referred to in this Section 2.2, including notifying all participants in the Company Stock Plans of such adjustment.

2.2.3 Purchaser shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock for delivery upon exercise or settlement of the Converted Stock-Based Awards in accordance with this Section 2.2. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, if and to the extent necessary to cause a sufficient number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock to be registered and issuable under Converted Stock-Based Awards, Purchaser shall file a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or one or more registration statements on Form S-8 (or any successor or other appropriate form) with respect to the shares of Purchaser Common Stock subject to Converted Stock-Based Awards and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement or registration statements (and maintain the current status of the prospectus or prospectuses contained therein) for so long as such Converted Stock-Based Awards remain outstanding.

2.2.4 Notwithstanding the foregoing, within 45 days after the date of this Plan of Merger, any holder may elect and consent to the cash-out of all of the holder’s Company stock options, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of the holder of such Company stock options, into an amount of cash for each share of Company Common Stock subject to such Company stock options equal to (a) the sum of (i) the Exchange Ratio multiplied by the Final Purchaser Price and (ii) the Cash Consideration

minus (b) the amount of the exercise price per share of such Company stock options, which amount shall be paid in a lump sum as soon as administratively possible following the Effective Time.

2.3 Surrender of Shares; Exchange Procedure. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, Purchaser shall mail to each holder of record of shares of Company Common Stock (other than the Excluded Shares), as of the Effective Time, a form of letter of transmittal (which shall be in customary form and reasonably acceptable to Company and shall specify that delivery will be effected, and risk of loss and title to Certificates or Book-Entry Shares will pass, only upon proper delivery of such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares to Purchaser upon adherence to the procedures set forth in the letter of transmittal) and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in exchange for the Merger Consideration and any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.4.

Upon surrender of a Certificate or of Book-Entry Shares for cancellation to Purchaser, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by Purchaser and reasonably acceptable to Company, each holder of a Certificate or of Book-Entry Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor (a) book-entry shares representing the number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock and cash in the amount of the Cash Consideration to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.1.2, and (b) any dividends or distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.4, and such Certificates and Book-Entry Shares so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. Purchaser shall mail, or cause to be mailed, a statement of ownership relating to the shares of Purchaser Common Stock and a check for payment of the Cash Consideration within seven days after such a surrender of a Certificate or of Book-Entry Shares.

In the event of a transfer of ownership of Company Common Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of Company, payment of the Merger Consideration may be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares so surrendered are registered if properly endorsed or otherwise in proper form for transfer and the Person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the transfer or establish, to the reasonable satisfaction of Purchaser, that such Taxes have been paid or are not applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.3.2, each Certificate and Book-Entry Share shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Merger Consideration and any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.4.

2.4 Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares. No dividends or other distributions with respect to Purchaser Common Stock with a record date on or after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate or Book-Entry Share with respect to the shares of Purchaser Common Stock that the holder of such unsurrendered Certificate or Book-Entry Share has the right to receive upon the surrender of such unsurrendered Certificate or Book-Entry Share until the holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall have surrendered such Certificate or Book-Entry Share in accordance with this Article II. Subject to escheat or other applicable Law, following the surrender of any Certificate or Book-Entry Share, there shall be paid to the record holder of shares of Purchaser Common

Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, with respect to such shares of Purchaser Common Stock (a) at the time of such surrender, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date and a payment date on or after the Effective Time and on or prior to the date of such surrender and (b) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date on or after the Effective Time but prior to such surrender and a payment date subsequent to such surrender payable with respect to such shares of Purchaser Common Stock.

2.5 No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock. The Merger Consideration and any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.4 upon the surrender of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in accordance with the terms of this Article II shall be deemed to have been in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares. At the close of business on the Closing Date, the share transfer books of Company shall be closed, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the share transfer books of Company of shares of Company Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect to shares of Company Common Stock, except as otherwise provided in this Plan of Merger or by applicable Law.

2.6 No Liability. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, none of Company, Purchaser, or the Surviving Corporation will be liable to any Company Shareholder or any other Person in respect of any cash properly delivered to a Governmental Entity pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws.

2.7 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event that any Certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, Purchaser will, upon the receipt of an affidavit of that fact by the holder of such Certificate in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser, pay in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration and any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.4 payable in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock previously evidenced by such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate. Purchaser in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of the Merger Consideration and any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.4, may require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate to deliver a bond in such amount as Purchaser may reasonably direct (which amount shall be consistent with Purchaser’s customary procedure for Purchaser’s existing shareholders) as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Purchaser with respect to such Certificate.

2.8 Withholding Rights. Purchaser shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, or cause to be deducted or withheld, from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Plan of Merger such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld or paid over to or deposited with the relevant Governmental Entity by Purchaser, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Plan of Merger as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Purchaser.

2.9 Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article II, if, between the date of this Plan of Merger and the Effective Time, there is declared (with an effective time prior to the Effective Time) or effected a reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including a reverse stock split), split-up, stock dividend or stock distribution (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Purchaser Common Stock or Company Common Stock), combination, exchange, or readjustment of shares with respect to, or rights issued in respect of, Purchaser Common Stock or Company Common Stock, the Exchange Ratio shall be proportionately adjusted accordingly to provide to the holders of Company Common Stock the same economic effect as contemplated by this Plan of Merger prior to such event. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.9, no adjustment shall be made in the event of the issuance of additional shares of Purchaser Common Stock pursuant to any dividend reinvestment plan or direct investment plan of Purchaser, pursuant to the exercise of stock options awarded under any director, employee or affiliate stock option plans of Purchaser or its subsidiaries, or upon the grant or sale of shares or rights to receive shares to or for the account of any director, employee, or affiliate of Purchaser or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to any stock option or other compensation or benefit plans of Purchaser, or in connection with the issuance of shares as merger consideration in a transaction where Purchaser is the surviving corporation.

2.10 Upset Provision.

2.10.1 After Closing is properly called pursuant to Section 1.2, Company shall have the right to terminate this Plan of Merger upon written notice to Purchaser if the Upset Condition then exists. The “Upset Condition” shall have occurred if both of the following conditions exist: (a) the Final Purchaser Price is less than $11.13 (the “Floor Purchaser Price”); and (b) the number determined by dividing the Final Purchaser Price by $13.91 (the “Initial Purchaser Price”) is less than the number obtained by subtracting (i) 20% from (ii) the quotient obtained by dividing the Final Index Price by the Initial Index Price. The “Final Purchaser Price” means the average closing price of Purchaser Common Stock for the 10 trading days ending on the sixth Business Day prior to the date of Closing on which shares of Purchaser Common Stock were actually traded in transactions reported on The NASDAQ Global Select Market (the “Pricing Period”). The “Initial Index Price” means the closing price of the Nasdaq Bank Index (Nasdaq:IXBK), a sector index maintained by the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Bank Index”) on July 24, 2014. The “Final Index Price” means the closing price of the Bank Index on the last day of the Pricing Period.

2.10.2 If the Upset Condition exists, Company shall have the right, exercisable at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time on the second Business Day after the last day of the Pricing Period (the “Exercise Period”) to (a) proceed with the Merger on the basis of the Exchange Ratio set forth in Section 2.1.2, subject to applicable adjustment as provided in Section 2.9 and Section 2.11, by delivering to Purchaser within the Exercise Period written notice of its decision to do so or by failing to deliver any notice to Purchaser; or (b) request Purchaser to adjust the Exchange Ratio by delivering to Purchaser within the Exercise Period written notice to such effect (an “Increase Notice”) to a ratio computed by multiplying the Exchange Ratio by a fraction that has as its numerator the Floor Purchaser Price and that has as its denominator the Final Purchaser Price (the “Adjusted Exchange Ratio”).

2.10.3 If the Upset Condition occurs and Purchaser receives an Increase Notice, Purchaser shall either accept or decline the Adjusted Exchange Ratio by delivering written notice of its decision to Company at or before 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time on the second Business Day after receipt of the Increase Notice (the “Acceptance Period”). If Purchaser accepts the Adjusted Exchange Ratio within the Acceptance Period, this Plan of Merger shall remain in effect in accordance with its terms except the Exchange Ratio shall be equal to the Adjusted Exchange Ratio. If Purchaser declines the Adjusted Exchange Ratio or fails to deliver written notice of its decision to accept or decline the Adjusted Exchange Ratio within the Acceptance Period, the Merger shall be abandoned and this Plan of Merger shall thereupon terminate without further action by Company or Purchaser effective as of 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time on the Business Day following the expiration of the Acceptance Period; provided, that if Purchaser so declines the Adjusted Exchange Ratio or fails to deliver written notice of its decision to accept or decline the Adjusted Exchange Ratio within the Acceptance Period, Company may, by written notice delivered to Purchaser at or before 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time on the Business Day following the expiration of the Acceptance Period, elect to proceed with the Merger on the basis of the Exchange Ratio set forth in Section 2.1.2, subject to applicable adjustment as provided in Section 2.9 and 2.11, and, upon such election, no abandonment of the Merger or termination of the Plan of Merger shall be deemed to have occurred, this Plan of Merger shall remain in effect in accordance with its terms, and the Closing shall thereafter occur, in accordance with the terms of this Plan of Merger.

2.11 Adjustments to Exchange Ratio. At the Effective Time, the Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted, if applicable, as follows (which Exchange Ratio, as adjusted as provided below and in Section 2.9, shall become the “Exchange Ratio” for purposes of this Plan of Merger):

2.11.1 Shareholders’ Equity. If as of the end of the month prior to the Effective Time, the Company Consolidated Shareholders’ Equity is less than $39,200,000, the Stock Purchase Price shall be reduced by an amount equal to (x) $39,200,000 minus (y) the Company Consolidated Shareholders’ Equity as of the end of the month prior to the Effective Time (the “Shareholders’ Equity Price Adjustment”).

2.11.2 Exchange Ratio Adjustment. Subject to the satisfaction of Section 2.11.1, the Exchange Ratio shall be decreased to a quotient determined by dividing the Adjusted Stock Purchase Price by the total number of shares of the Company Common Stock outstanding at the Effective Time, and further dividing that number by the Final Purchaser Price.

2.11.3 As used in this Article II, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated below:

“Adjusted Stock Purchase Price” shall be equal to the Stock Purchase Price minus the Shareholders’ Equity Price Adjustment.

“Company Consolidated Shareholders’ Equity” shall be the consolidated shareholders’ equity of Company excluding the net accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss), each as of the end of the last month which ends at least 21 days prior to the Effective Time, determined in accordance with GAAP to which shall be added the following amounts (which amounts shall also be calculated in accordance with GAAP): (a) any accruals, reserves, or charges resulting from expenses of the Merger and other transactions contemplated by this Plan of Merger, and (b) any accruals, reserves or charges taken by Company at the request of Purchaser pursuant to Section 5.19.

“Stock Purchase Price” shall be equal to the Exchange Ratio in effect at the time of adjustment multiplied by the Final Purchaser Price multiplied by the total number of shares of the Company Common Stock outstanding as of the Effective Time.

ARTICLE III

COMPANY’S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

On or prior to the date hereof, Company has delivered to Purchaser a schedule (the “Company Disclosure Letter”) setting forth, among other things, items the disclosure of which is necessary or appropriate either in response to an express disclosure requirement contained in a provision hereof or as an exception to one or more representations or warranties contained in this Article III or to one or more of its covenants contained in Article V. Accordingly, Company hereby represents and warrants to Purchaser as follows, except as set forth on the Company Disclosure Letter:

3.1 Authorization, No Conflicts, Etc.

3.1.1 Authorization of Plan of Merger. Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Plan of Merger and, subject to the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock entitled to vote to approve the Plan of Merger (the “Company Shareholder Approval”), to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Plan of Merger. This Plan of Merger has been duly adopted, and the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Plan of Merger have been duly authorized, by the Company Board of Directors. The Company Board of Directors has (a) determined that the terms of this Plan of Merger are in compliance with all applicable Laws and in the best interests of Company and the Company Shareholders, and (b) adopted this Plan of Merger, authorized the transactions contemplated by this Plan of Merger and resolved to recommend approval by the Company Shareholders of this Plan of Merger and the transactions contemplated by it (such recommendation, the “Company Board Recommendation”) by an affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the entire Company Board of Directors, including at least one director of each class of the Company Board of Directors.

Company shall, and shall cause each of the Company Subsidiaries and each of its and the Company Subsidiaries’ Representatives to (i) immediately upon execution of this Plan of Merger, cease any solicitation, encouragement, discussions or negotiations with any Person that may be ongoing with respect to a Company Takeover Proposal as of the date of this Plan of Merger, (ii) request promptly thereafter that such Person promptly return or destroy all confidential information concerning Company and the Company Subsidiaries delivered or made available to such Person or its Representatives by Company, the Company Subsidiaries or any Representatives thereof, in connection with its consideration of a Company Takeover Proposal and any summaries, analyses or extracts thereof or based thereon, and any files, copies or records containing such information in any computer or electronic media, and (iii) immediately upon execution of this Plan of Merger, terminate all physical and electronic dataroom access previously granted to any such Person or its Representatives.

5.3.2 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time prior to obtaining the Company Shareholder Approval, Company or any of its Representatives receives a Company Takeover Proposal from any Person or group of Persons, which Company Takeover Proposal did not result from any breach of this Section 5.3, then Company and its Representatives may (a) contact such Person or group of Persons and their Representatives to request that such Person or group of Persons provide clarification of any term or condition of such Company Takeover Proposal that the Company Board of Directors determines in good faith to be ambiguous or unclear, and (b) if the Company Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its independent financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that such Company Takeover Proposal constitutes, or is reasonably expected to lead to, a Company Superior Proposal, and that failure to take such action would more likely than not to result in a breach of the Company Board of Directors’ fiduciary duties (i) furnish, pursuant to an Acceptable Company Confidentiality Agreement, information (including non-public information) with respect to Company and the Company Subsidiaries to the Person or group of Persons who has made such Company Takeover Proposal and their respective Representatives; provided that Company shall (subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement) promptly make available to Purchaser (through an electronic dataroom or otherwise), and concurrently provide express written notification, via electronic mail notification to Purchaser in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 9.8, of the availability of, any written material non-public information that is provided to any such Person or group of Persons or their respective Representatives, if such information was not previously provided to Purchaser or its Representatives, and (ii) engage in or otherwise participate in discussions or negotiations with the Person or group of Persons making such Company Takeover Proposal and their respective Representatives; provided, further that Company shall promptly provide to Purchaser (A) a copy of any Company Takeover Proposal made in writing by any such

Proposal, including the identity of the party making such Company Superior Proposal) and has contemporaneously provided a copy to Purchaser of all written materials (including all transaction agreements and related documents) with or from the party making such Company Superior Proposal, (b) Company has negotiated, and has caused its Representatives to negotiate, in good faith with Purchaser during such notice period to the extent Purchaser wishes to negotiate, to enable Purchaser to revise the terms of this Plan of Merger such that it would cause such Company Superior Proposal to no longer constitute a Company Superior Proposal and (c) following the end of such notice period, the Company Board of Directors shall have considered in good faith any changes to this Plan of Merger proposed in writing by Purchaser, and shall have determined that the Company Superior Proposal would continue to constitute a Company Superior Proposal if such revisions were to be given effect. In the event of any material revisions to a Company Takeover Proposal that could have an impact, influence or other effect on the Company Board of Directors’ decision or discussion with respect to whether such proposal is a Company Superior Proposal, Company shall deliver a new written notice to Purchaser pursuant to the foregoing clause (a) and again comply with the requirements of this Section 5.3.5 with respect to such new written notice; provided, however, that references herein to the five Business Day period shall be deemed to be references to a three Business Day period with respect thereto.

5.3.6 Provided that Company and the Company Board of Directors comply with their applicable obligations under Section 5.3.5, nothing in this Section 5.3 shall prohibit the Company Board of Directors from (a) taking and disclosing to the Company Shareholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a), Rule 14d-9 or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act (assuming such provisions are applicable to the Company), (b) making any “stop-look-and-listen” communications to Company Shareholders pursuant to Section 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act (or any similar communications to the Company Shareholders) (assuming such provisions are applicable to the Company), or (c) making any disclosure to the Company Shareholders if the Company Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the Company Board of Directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided, however, that the taking of any action pursuant to any of the preceding clauses (a), (b) or (c) shall in no way limit or modify the effect of this Plan of Merger with respect to any such action taken.

5.3.7 As used in this Plan of Merger, “Company Takeover Proposal” shall mean any inquiry, proposal or offer from any Person (other than Purchaser and the Purchaser Subsidiaries) or “group”, within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, relating to, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, any (a) acquisition of assets of Company and its Subsidiaries equal to more than 20% of Company’s consolidated assets or to which more than 20% of Company’s net income on a consolidated basis are attributable, (b) acquisition of more than 10% of the outstanding Company Common Stock or the capital stock of any Subsidiary of Company, (c) tender offer or exchange offer that if consummated would result in any Person beneficially owning more than 20% of the outstanding Company Common Stock, (d) merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction involving Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries or (e) any combination of the foregoing types of transactions if the sum of the percentage of consolidated assets, consolidated net income and Company Common Stock involved is more than 20%; in each case, other than the Merger.

5.3.8 As used in this Plan of Merger, “Company Superior Proposal” shall mean any bona fide written Company Takeover Proposal that the Company Board of Directors has determined in its good faith judgment, after consultation with its independent financial advisors and outside legal counsel, is reasonably likely to be consummated in accordance with its terms and that is reasonably likely to result in the consummation of a transaction more favorable to the Company Shareholders from a financial point of view than the Merger, taking into account (a) all legal, regulatory and financial aspects of the proposal (including availability of financing and certainty of closing) and the Person making the proposal; and (b) any changes to the terms of this Plan of Merger proposed by Purchaser in response to such proposal or otherwise. For purposes of the definition of “Company Superior Proposal”, the references to “20%” in the definition of Company Takeover Proposal shall be deemed to be references to “50%.”

5.4.1 Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and cause to be filed with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”), in which a proxy statement to be sent to the Company Shareholders relating to the Company Shareholder Meeting will be included as a prospectus (the “Proxy Statement”), as promptly as practicable following the date of this Plan of Merger (and in any event no later than 45 days). Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after such filing and shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Registration Statement effective as long as reasonably necessary to consummate the Merger. Prior to the filing of the Registration Statement, Purchaser shall consult with Company with respect to such filing and shall afford Company and its Representatives reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon. The Registration Statement and the Proxy Statement shall include all information reasonably requested by Company to be included.

Purchaser shall take all action (other than qualifying to do business in any jurisdiction in which it is not now so qualified) required to be taken under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any applicable foreign or state securities or “blue sky” Laws and the rules and regulations thereunder in connection with the Merger and the issuance of Purchaser Common Stock as Merger Consideration and under the Company Stock Plans.

5.4.2 Company shall, as soon as is reasonably practicable following the date on which the Registration Statement is declared effective or the effective date can be predicted with reasonable certainty, duly call, give proper notice of, convene and hold a special meeting of the Company Shareholders for the purpose of seeking the Company Shareholder Approval (“Company Shareholder Meeting”). Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (a) cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to the Company Shareholders and to hold the Company Shareholder Meeting as promptly as practicable after the Registration Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act and

(b) except if the Company Board of Directors shall have made a Company Adverse Recommendation Change as permitted by Section 5.3, solicit the Company Shareholder Approval. Company shall, through the Company Board of Directors, recommend to the Company Shareholders that they vote for the Company Shareholder Approval and shall include such recommendation in the Proxy Statement, except to the extent that the Company Board of Directors shall have made a Company Adverse Recommendation Change as permitted by Section 5.3.

agreements with Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries shall survive the Merger and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 5.10, shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. For a period of six years from the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation, subject to compliance with applicable Law, shall maintain in effect exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses provisions that are no less favorable to officers and directors than those set forth in the articles of incorporation and bylaws or similar organization documents of Company and the Company Subsidiaries in effect immediately prior to the date of this Plan of Merger, and, subject to compliance with applicable Law, shall not amend, repeal or otherwise modify any such provisions in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any individuals who at the Effective Time were current or former directors, officers or employees of Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries. All rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses in respect of any Action pending or asserted or any claim made within such period shall continue until the disposition of such Action or resolution of such claim.

If such “tail” prepaid policy has been obtained, the Surviving Corporation shall maintain it in full force and effect for its full term and honor all obligations thereunder.

5.10.4 The rights of each Indemnified Party hereunder shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other rights such person may have under the articles of incorporation or bylaws or other organization documents of Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries or the Surviving Corporation, any other indemnification arrangement, the MBCA and the IBCL, as applicable, directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to Company or the Company Subsidiaries or otherwise.

VOTING AGREEMENT

Each of the undersigned directors of Founders Financial Corporation (the “Company”) hereby agrees in his or her individual capacity as a shareholder to vote his or her shares of Company Common Stock that are registered in his or her personal name (and agrees to use his or her reasonable efforts to cause all additional shares of Company Common Stock owned jointly by him or her with any other person or by his or her spouse or over which he or she has voting influence or control to be voted) in favor of approval of the Agreement and Plan of Merger by and between Old National Bancorp (“Purchaser”) and Company, dated July 25, 2014 (the “Agreement”).

Each of the undersigned is entering into this Voting Agreement solely in his or her capacity as an individual shareholder and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Voting Agreement, nothing in this Voting Agreement is intended or shall be construed to require any of the undersigned, (i) in his or her capacity as a director of Company or (ii) in his or her capacity as a trustee, personal representative or other fiduciary capacity, to act or fail to act in accordance with his or her duties in such director or fiduciary capacity. This Agreement is an individual agreement of each undersigned director with Purchaser and is not an agreement among the undersigned directors. Furthermore, none of the undersigned makes any agreement or understanding herein in his or her capacity as a director of Company. Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, this Voting Agreement shall be effective from the date hereof and shall terminate and be of no further force and effect upon the earliest of (a) the approval of the Agreement by the shareholders of Company; (b) the termination of the Agreement in accordance with its terms; or (c) upon a Company Adverse Recommendation Change (as defined in the Agreement).
