	Advance Notice of Shareholder and Shareholder Proposals			CapStar’s amended and restated bylaws provide that a shareholder who desires to nominate a person for election to the CapStar board of directors or present a shareholder proposal at the annual meeting of shareholders must give written notice of the proposed nomination or shareholder proposal to the Secretary of CapStar at the principal executive office of CapStar no more than 120 days and not less than 75 days prior to the first anniversary of the date CapStar commenced mailing its proxy materials in connection with the previous year’s annual meeting of shareholders. In the event that the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 70 days after its anniversary date, notice by the shareholder must be delivered not later than the close of business on the later of (i) the 75th day prior to such annual meeting or (ii) the tenth day following CapStar’s public announcement of the meeting, and no earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to such annual meeting.

	special meeting of shareholders as set forth in CapStar’s amended and restated bylaws.
Limitation of Liability for Officers and Directors	CapStar’s charter limits a director’s liability to CapStar or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director to the fullest extent permitted by the TBCA.	Old National’s articles of incorporation and bylaws do not provide for any limitation of liability for officers and directors. However, Chapter 35 of the IBCL provides that a director is not liable for any action taken as a director, or any failure to take any action, regardless of the nature of the alleged breach of duty, including alleged breaches of the duty of care, the duty of loyalty, and the duty of good faith, unless (i) the director has breached or failed to perform the duties of the director’s office in compliance with the IBCL and (ii) the breach or failure to perform constitutes willful misconduct or recklessness.
Indemnification of Officers and Directors	CapStar’s charter and bylaws provide that CapStar shall, to the fullest extent permitted by the TBCA, indemnify CapStar’s directors, officers and employees and each other person who is or was serving at the request of CapStar as a director, officer, manager or employee of an affiliate or of another entity, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan. The right to indemnification includes the right to be paid by CapStar the expenses incurred in defending any proceeding for which such right to indemnification is applicable in advance of its final disposition.	Old National’s officers and directors are indemnified under Indiana law, the articles of incorporation and the bylaws of Old National against certain liabilities. Old National’s articles of incorporation require it to provide indemnification to its officers and directors to the fullest extent authorized by the IBCL and to pay for or reimburse reasonable expenses incurred before the final disposition of the proceeding as authorized by the IBCL. Old National’s articles of incorporation also authorize it to maintain insurance at its expense to protect itself and any of its directors, officers, employees or agents or those of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other entity against expense, liability or loss, whether or not Old National would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss

	CapStar Governing Documents	Old National Governing Documents
		under the IBCL. Old National currently maintains directors’ and officers’ liability insurance. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to Old National directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, it has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
Amendments to Organizational Documents	CapStar’s charter may be amended pursuant to the procedures specified in the TBCA, provided that certain provisions in CapStar’s charter, including those relating to the liability of directors and approval of certain business transactions may be amended or rescinded only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the issued and outstanding shares of CapStar entitled to vote thereon (unless approved by the affirmative vote of two-thirds (2/3) of all directors then in office). Subject to certain exceptions, CapStar’s amended and restated bylaws may be amended or repealed and new bylaws may be adopted by the board of directors or shareholders of CapStar. Any amendment of the bylaws establishing or changing the number of directors within the range provided for in the bylaws, or establishing or changing the range itself, requires the affirmative vote of two-thirds (2/3) of all directors then in office or the affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds (2/3) of the issued and outstanding shares of CapStar entitled to vote in an election of directors.	Under the IBCL, Old National’s articles of incorporation may be altered, amended or repealed by the affirmative vote of a majority of all votes entitled to be cast on the matter at any shareholder meeting. Old National’s articles of incorporation provide that Old National’s bylaws may be altered, amended or repealed by either (i) the affirmative vote of a majority of the actual number of directors elected and qualified or (ii) the affirmative vote of a majority of all votes entitled to be cast on the matter at any shareholder meeting, provided that the proposed alteration, amendment, or repeal is contained in the notice of such shareholder meeting.
