UMB FINANCIAL CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2010 (UNAUDITED)

1. Financial Statement Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of UMB Financial Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) after elimination of all significant intercompany transactions. In the opinion of management of the Company, all adjustments, which were of a normal recurring nature and necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations, have been made. The results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented may not be indicative of the results of the full year. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.

In the previously filed Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2009, the Company transposed proceeds from maturities and proceeds from sales of available for sale securities in the investing activities section of the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. As a result, the accompanying 2009 condensed consolidated statement of cash flows has been corrected to list the appropriate title with the appropriate numeric total. There is no quantitative change in cash flows of the Company as a result of this adjustment.

2. Summary of Accounting Policies

The Company is a multi-bank financial holding company, which offers a wide range of banking and other financial services to its customers through its branches and offices in the states of Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, Illinois, Oklahoma, Arizona, Nebraska, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Indiana, Wisconsin, Utah, New Jersey, and Massachusetts. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. These estimates and assumptions also impact reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. A summary of the significant accounting policies to assist the reader in understanding the financial presentation is listed in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.

Interest-bearing Due From Banks

Amounts due from the Federal Reserve Bank which are interest-bearing for all periods presented, and amounts due from certificates of deposits held at other financial institutions are included in interest-bearing due from banks. The amount due from the Federal Reserve Bank totaled $467.7 million and $238.9 million at September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009, respectively, and is considered cash and cash equivalents. The amounts due from certificates of deposit totaled $191.6 million and $300.5 million at September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009, respectively.

This table provides a summary of cash and due from banks as presented on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as of September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009 (in thousands):

	September 30,
	2010		2009
Due from the Federal Reserve	$	467,726	$	238,881
Cash and due from banks		332,699		288,422
Cash and due from banks at end of period	$	800,425	$	527,303

UMB FINANCIAL CORPORATION

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (CONTINUED)

FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2010 (UNAUDITED)

Per Share Data

Basic income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted quarterly per share data includes the dilutive effect of 218,495 and 323,413 shares issuable upon the exercise of options granted by the Company and outstanding at September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Diluted year-to-date income per share includes the dilutive effect of 250,966 and 319,453 shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options granted by the Company and outstanding at September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Options issued under employee benefit plans to purchase 1,107,949 shares of common stock were outstanding at September 30, 2010, but were not included in the computation of quarterly and year-to-date diluted EPS because the options were anti-dilutive. Options issued under employee benefit plans to purchase 784,904 shares of common stock were outstanding at September 30, 2009, but were not included in the computation of quarterly and year-to-date diluted EPS because the options were anti-dilutive.

3. New Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140 In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 166 “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140” or Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 860. The objective of this Statement is to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. This Statement removes the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity from SFAS No. 140 and removes the exception from applying FASB Interpretation No. 46 to qualifying special-purpose entities. The Company adopted this statement on January 1, 2010 with no impact on its financial position or results of operations.

Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” or ASC 810, which amends the consolidation guidance applicable to variable interest entities. The amendments to the consolidation guidance affect all entities currently within the scope of FIN 46(R), as well as qualifying special-purpose entities that are currently excluded from the scope of FIN 46(R). The Company adopted this statement on January 1, 2010 with no impact on its financial position or results of operations.

Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (ASU 2010-06), which amends ASC 820, adding new requirements for disclosures for Levels 1 and 2, separate disclosures of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements and clarification of existing fair value disclosures. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the requirement to provide Level 3 activity of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis, which will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. The Company adopted this statement on January 1, 2010 with no impact on its financial position or results of operations except for additional financial statement disclosures.

Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-20, “Disclosures About the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses” (ASU 2010-10), which amends ASC 310 by requiring more robust and disaggregated disclosures about the credit quality of an entity’s financial receivables and its allowance for credit losses. ASU 2010-20 will be effective for the Company for the annual reporting period ending December 31, 2010. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that this standard will have on its financial statement disclosures.

Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

There were no sales of securities held to maturity during the first nine months of 2010 and 2009.

Securities available for sale with a market value of $3,557,004,106 at September 30, 2010, and $4,227,243,117 at December 31, 2009, were pledged to secure U.S. Government deposits, other public deposits and certain trust deposits as required by law.

The unrealized losses in the Company’s investments in direct obligations of U.S. government agencies, federal agency mortgage backed securities, and municipal securities were caused by interest rate risk. Because the Company does not have the intent to sell these securities and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell these securities before a recovery of fair value, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2010.

Other comprehensive income	$	7,022		$	12,086		$	26,945		$	15,219

8. Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees

In the normal course of business, the Company is party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in order to meet the financing needs of its customers and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, commercial letters of credit, standby letters of credit, futures contracts, forward foreign exchange contracts and spot foreign exchange contracts. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheet. The contract or notional amount of those instruments reflects the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments. Many of the commitments expire without being drawn upon; therefore, the total amount of these commitments does not necessarily represent the future cash requirements of the Company.

The following table summarizes the Company’s off-balance-sheet financial instruments.

Contract or Notional Amount (in thousands):

	September 30, 2010		December 31, 2009
Commitments to extend credit for loans (excluding credit card loans)	$	1,740,185	$	1,868,869
Commitments to extend credit under credit card loans		1,454,829		1,320,416
Commercial letters of credit		2,386		3,538
Standby letters of credit		281,556		308,866
Futures contracts		19,000		13,300
Forward foreign exchange contracts		24,317		69,342
Spot foreign exchange contracts		6,040		5,513

The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparty to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit, commercial letters of credit, and standby letters of credit is represented by the contract or notional amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are named defendants in various lawsuits and counter-claims. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, none of these lawsuits are expected to have a materially adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

9. Business Segment Reporting

The Company has strategically aligned its operations into the following three reportable segments (collectively, “Business Segments”): Commercial Financial Services, Institutional Financial Services, and Personal Financial Services. The Business Segments were redefined during the first quarter of 2010 to better organize the Company’s business around customer needs. In 2009, the Business Segments were Commercial Banking and Lending, Payment and Technology Solutions, Banking Services, Consumer Services, Asset Management, and Fund Services. Business segment financial results produced by the Company’s internal management accounting system are evaluated regularly by the Executive Committee in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance for individual Business Segments. The management accounting system assigns balance sheet and income statement items to each business segment using methodologies that are refined on an ongoing basis. For comparability purposes, amounts in all periods are based on methodologies in effect at September 30, 2010.

The following summaries provide information about the activities of each segment:

Commercial Financial Services resulted in combining Commercial Banking and Lending with Treasury Management (previously a component of Payment and Technology Solutions). Commercial Financial Services serves the commercial lending and leasing, capital markets, and treasury management needs of the Company’s mid-market businesses and governmental entities by offering various products and services. Such services include commercial loans, letters of credit, loan syndication services, consultative services, and a variety of financial options for companies that need non-traditional banking services. Capital markets services include asset-based financing, asset securitization, equity and mezzanine financing, factoring, private and public placement of senior debt, as well as merger and acquisition consulting. Treasury management services include depository services, account reconciliation services, electronic fund transfer services, controlled disbursements, lockbox services, and remote deposit capture services.

Institutional Financial Services is a combination of Banking Services, Fund Services, and Asset Management services provided to institutional clients. This segment also includes consumer credit card services, formerly included in Consumer Services, and commercial credit card services, formerly included in Payment and Technology Solutions. Healthcare services, mutual fund cash management and international payments, previously included in Payment and Technology Solutions, are also included in this segment. Institutional Financial Services includes businesses such as the Company’s institutional investment services functions, Scout Investment Advisors, UMB Fund Services, corporate trust and escrow services as well as correspondent banking, investment banking, and UMB Healthcare Services. Products and services include bond trading transactions, cash letter collections, FiServ account processing, investment portfolio accounting and safekeeping, reporting for asset/liability management, and Fed funds transactions. UMB Fund Services provides fund administration and accounting, investor services and transfer agency, marketing and distribution, custody and alternative investment services.

Personal Financial Services combines Consumer Services and Asset Management services provided to personal clients. This segment combines the Company’s consumer bank with the individual investment and wealth management solutions. The range of services offered to UMB clients extends from a basic checking account to estate planning and trust services. Products and services include the Company’s bank branches, call center, internet banking and ATM network, deposit accounts, private banking, installment loans, home equity lines of credit, residential mortgages, small business loans, brokerage services, and insurance services in addition to a full spectrum of investment advisory, trust, and custody services.

Treasury and Other Adjustments includes asset and liability management activities and miscellaneous other items of a corporate nature not allocated to specific business lines. The assets within this segment include the Company’s investment portfolio. Corporate eliminations are also allocated to this segment.

10. Fair Value Measurements

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2010, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized by the Company to determine such fair value.

Fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the hierarchy. In such cases, the fair value is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2010 (in thousands):

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, including those financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis or non-recurring basis is required to be disclosed. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments:

Cash and Short-Term Investments The carrying amounts of cash and due from banks, federal funds sold and resell agreements are reasonable estimates of their fair values.

Securities Available for Sale Fair values are based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes, if available. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities.

FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2010 (UNAUDITED)

Trading Securities Fair values for trading securities (including financial futures), are based on quoted market prices where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices for similar securities.

Loans Fair values are estimated for portfolios with similar financial characteristics. Loans are segregated by type, such as commercial, real estate, consumer, and credit card. Each loan category is further segmented into fixed and variable interest rate categories. The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit rating and for the same remaining maturities.

Deposit Liabilities The fair value of demand deposits and savings accounts is the amount payable on demand at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the rates that are currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Short-Term Debt The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased, repurchase agreements and other short-term debt are reasonable estimates of their fair value because of the short-term nature of their maturities.

Long-Term Debt Rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate fair value of existing debt.

Other Off-Balance Sheet Instruments The fair value of loan commitments and letters of credit are determined based on the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreement and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. Neither the fees earned during the year on these instruments nor their fair values at September 30, 2010 are significant to the Company’s consolidated financial position.

The estimated fair value of the Company’s financial instruments at September, 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 are as follows (in millions):

	September 30 2010				December 31 2009

The fair value estimates presented herein are based on pertinent information available to management as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. The estimated market values have not been updated since September 30, 2010; therefore current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented above.

Overview

The Company focuses on the following four core strategies. Management believes these strategies will continue to improve net income and strengthen the balance sheet.

The first strategy is to grow the Company’s fee-based businesses. The emphasis on fee-based operations helps reduce the Company’s exposure to changes in interest rates. During the third quarter of 2010, noninterest income increased $9.6 million, or 11.9 percent, compared to the same period of 2009. The Company continues to emphasize its asset management, bankcard services, health care services, and treasury management solution businesses. In particular, during the third quarter of 2010, the increase in noninterest income is primarily attributable to increased trust and securities processing income. The increase in these fees for the three month period compared to the same period last year was primarily attributable to an increase in fee income from Scout Funds, fund administration and custody services, and revenues from the acquisition of Prairie Capital Management, LLC. Fee income from the Scout Funds increased by $3.2 million, or 36.0 percent, fund administration and custody services fees increased by $1.8 million, or 12.9 percent, and $1.6 million in increased fee revenues due to the acquisition.

The second strategy is a focus on net interest income through loan and deposit growth, which includes a focus on rate, volume and mix. Net interest income increased $2.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010, compared to one year ago. Total loans increased $268.6 million, or 6.2 percent, compared to third quarter of 2009. Total deposits increased $711.6 million, or 9.0 percent, compared to third quarter of 2009. , Of the total deposit growth, 25.9 percent came from non-interest-bearing deposits and is a primary driver of the decrease in total interest expense of $4.5 million, or 34.7 percent. Average earning assets increased by $1.1 billion, or 11.8 percent, compared to the third quarter of 2009 due to the increased deposit funding.

The third strategy is a focus on improving operating efficiencies. At September 30, 2010, the Company had 133 branches. Efficient utilization of our distribution network remains a priority. The Company emphasizes increasing its customer base by providing a broad offering of services through our existing network. These efforts have resulted in the total deposits growth previously discussed. The Company’s efficiency ratio for the quarter was 75.7 percent in 2010 and 71.7 percent in 2009. The Company continues to evaluate its cost structure for opportunities to moderate expense growth without sacrificing growth initiatives. The Company also continues to focus on cost savings through technology solutions that improve and automate processes.

The fourth strategy is a focus on capital management. Specifically, the Company continues to invest in organic growth; acquisition opportunities that make sense strategically, financially, operationally, and culturally; and focus on returning capital to shareholders. As an example of the Company putting capital to work, bankcard fees increased by $2.9 million, or 24.7 percent, for the three months ended September 30, 2010, compared to the same periods one year ago. This increase is directly associated with the acquisition of credit card portfolios since third quarter 2009. The Company repurchased 70,799 shares of common stock at an average price of $33.98 per share during the third quarter of 2010. The Company places a significant emphasis on the maintenance of a strong capital position, which management believes promotes investor confidence, provides access to funding sources under favorable terms, and enhances the Company’s ability to capitalize on business growth and acquisition opportunities. At September 30, 2010, the Company had $1.1 billion in shareholders equity, which resulted in a total risk-based capital ratio of 13.78 percent. This capital ratio is substantially higher than the 10 percent regulatory minimum to be considered well-capitalized.

Earnings Summary

The Company recorded consolidated net income of $22.8 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010, compared to $24.0 million for the same period a year earlier. This represents a 5.1 percent decrease over the three-month period ended September 30, 2009. Basic earnings per share for the third quarter of 2010 were $0.57 per share ($0.57 per share fully-diluted) compared to $0.60 per share ($0.59 per share fully-diluted) for the third quarter of 2009. Return on average assets and return on average common shareholders’ equity for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 were 0.82 and 8.31 percent, respectively, compared to 0.97 and 9.43 percent for the three-month period ended September 30, 2009.

22

The Company recorded consolidated net income of $72.0 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, compared to $65.6 million for the same period a year earlier. This represents a 9.7 percent increase over the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009. Basic earnings per share for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 were $1.80 per share ($1.78 per share fully-diluted) compared to $1.62 per share ($1.61 per share fully-diluted) for the period in 2009. Return on average assets and return on average common shareholders’ equity for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 were 0.88 and 9.09 percent, respectively, compared to 0.87 and 8.78 percent for the same period in 2009.

Net interest income for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 increased $2.5 million, or 3.3 percent, and $6.5 million, or 2.9 percent, respectively, compared to the same period in 2009. These increases are primarily due to the reduced level of interest expense on deposits, which outpaced the reduction in interest income during both periods. For the three-month period ended September 30, 2010, average earning assets increased by $1.1 billion, or 11.8 percent, and for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, they increased by $839.6, or 9.1 percent, compared to the same periods in 2009. Net interest margin, on a tax-equivalent basis, decreased to 3.23 percent and 3.24 percent for the three and nine-months periods ended September 30, 2010, compared to 3.51 percent and 3.44 percent for the same periods in 2009. These changes are discussed in greater detail below under Net Interest Income.

The provision for loan losses decreased by $0.6 million and increased by $3.5 million for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010, compared to the same periods in 2009. These changes are a direct result of applying the Company’s methodology for computing the allowance for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans increased by 22 basis points to 1.59 percent as of September 30, 2010, compared to September 30, 2009. For a description of the Company’s methodology for computing the allowance for loan losses, please see the summary discussion of the Allowance for Loan Losses within the Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates subsection of the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section in the Company’s 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Noninterest income increased by $9.6 million, or 11.9 percent, for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 and increased by $38.8 million, or 17.1 percent, for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, compared to the same periods one year ago. These increases are discussed in greater detail below under Noninterest Income.

Noninterest expense increased by $15.4 million, or 13.3 percent, for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010, and increased by $33.3 million, or 9.8 percent, for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, compared to the same periods in 2009. These increases are discussed in greater detail below under Noninterest Expense.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is a significant source of the Company’s earnings and represents the amount by which interest income on earning assets exceeds the interest expense paid on liabilities. The volume of interest-earning assets and the related funding sources, the overall mix of these assets and liabilities, and the rates paid on each affect net interest income. For the three-month period ended September 30, 2010, net interest income increased $2.5 million, or 3.3 percent, compared to the same period in 2009. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, net interest income increased $6.5 million, or 2.9 percent, compared to the same period in 2009.

Table 1 shows the impact of earning asset rate changes compared to changes in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities. The Company continues to experience a repricing of these earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities during the recent interest rate cycle. While the Company continues to see declining rates, it has been able to improve net interest income. As illustrated in this table, net interest spread for the three months ended September 30, 2010 decreased by 19 basis points and net interest margin decreased by 28 basis points compared to the same period in 2009. Net interest spread for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 decreased by 12 basis points and net interest margin decreased by 21 basis points compared to the same period in 2009. These results are due to a favorable volume variance on earning assets coupled with a favorable rate variance on deposits, which has more than offset the unfavorable rate variance on earning assets. The combined impact of these variances has led to an increase in the Company’s net interest income.

23

The favorable rate variance on deposits is bolstered by the contribution from free funds. For the impact of the contribution from free funds, see the Analysis of Net Interest Margin within Table 2 below. Table 2 also illustrates how the changes in volume and rates have resulted in an increase in net interest income.

AVERAGE BALANCES/YIELDS AND RATES (tax-equivalent basis) (unaudited, dollars in thousands)

The following table presents, for the periods indicated, the average earning assets and resulting yields, as well as the average interest-bearing liabilities and resulting yields, expressed in both dollars and rates. All average balances are daily average balances. The average yield on earning assets without the tax equivalent basis adjustment would have been 3.07 percent for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 and 3.89 percent for the same period in 2009.

Table 2 presents the dollar amount of change in net interest income and margin due to volume and rate. Table 2 also reflects the effect that interest-free funds have on net interest margin. Although interest-free funds (total earning assets less interest-bearing liabilities) increased $404.3 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 and increased $403.7 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009, the benefit from interest free funds declined by 9 basis points from the three months ended September 30, 2009, and declined by 8 basis points from the nine months ended September 30, 2009, due to decreases in interest rates.

Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses (ALL) represents management’s judgment of the losses inherent in the Company’s loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date. An analysis is performed quarterly to determine the appropriate balance of the ALL. This analysis considers items such as historical loss trends, a review of individual loans, migration analysis, current economic conditions, loan growth and characteristics, industry or segment concentration and other factors. This analysis is performed separately for each bank as regulatory agencies require

26

that the adequacy of the ALL be maintained on a bank-by-bank basis. After the balance sheet analysis is performed for the ALL, the provision for loan losses is computed as the amount required to adjust the ALL to the appropriate level.

Based on the factors above, management of the Company expensed $7.7 million and $24.1 million related to the provision for loan losses for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010, compared to $8.3 million and $20.6 million for the same periods in 2009. As illustrated in Table 3 below, the ALL increased to 1.59 percent of total loans as of September 30, 2010, compared to 1.36 percent of total loans as of the same period in 2009.

Table 3 presents a summary of the Company’s ALL for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 and for the year ended December 31, 2009. Net charge-offs were $15.5 million for the first nine months of 2010, compared to $14.1 million for the same period in 2009. See “Credit Risk Management” under “Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in this report for information relating to nonaccrual loans, past due loans, restructured loans and other credit risk matters.

Noninterest Income

A key objective of the Company is the growth of noninterest income to enhance profitability through a diverse set of revenues. Fee-based services are typically non-credit related and not generally affected by fluctuations in interest rates.

The Company’s fee-based services provide the opportunity to offer multiple products and services, which management believes will more closely align the customer with the Company. The Company is currently emphasizing fee-based services including trust and securities processing, bankcard, brokerage, health care services, and treasury management. Management believes it can offer these products and services both efficiently and profitably, as most share common platforms and support structures. Table 4 below summarizes the components of noninterest income and the respective year-over-year comparison for each category.

Fee-based, or noninterest income (summarized in Table 4), increased by $9.6 million, or 11.9 percent, during the three months ended September 30, 2010, and increased by $38.8 million, or 17.1 percent, during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to the same periods in 2009.

Trust and securities processing consists of fees earned on personal and corporate trust accounts, custody of securities services, trust investments and money management services, and servicing of mutual fund assets. The increase in these fees for the three and nine-month periods compared to the same periods last year was primarily attributable to an increase in fee income from Scout Funds, fund administration and custody services, and fee

28

revenue from the newly acquired Prairie Capital Management, LLC. Fee income from the Scout Funds for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010, increased by $3.2 million, or 36.0 percent, and by $11.5 million, or 49.6 percent, respectively. Fund administration and custody services fees for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010, increased by $1.8 million, or 12.9 percent, and $12.7 million, or 37.5 percent, respectively. Trust and securities processing fees are asset-based. As such, they are highly correlated to the change in market value of the assets. Thus, the related income for the remainder of the year will be affected by changes in the securities markets. Management continues to emphasize sales of services to both new and existing clients as well as increasing and improving the distribution channels, which lead to increased inflows into the Scout Funds.

Service charges on deposits decreased by $1.2 million, or 5.7 percent, and by $2.4 million, or 3.9 percent for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to the same periods one year ago. This decrease is primarily due to new overdraft regulations enacted on July 21, 2010.

Bankcard fees increased by $2.9 million, or 24.7 percent, and by $6.8 million, or 20.1 percent for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to the same periods one year ago. This increase is directly associated with the acquisition of credit card portfolios during the periods.

During the three months ended September 30, 2010, $0.8 million in pre-tax gains were recognized on the sales of securities available for sale, compared to $3.3 million during the same period in 2009. For the first nine months of 2010, $7.5 million in pre-tax gains were recognized on the sales of securities available for sale, compared to $5.2 million during the same period in 2009. These sales are part of an objective to monitor and control the Company’s interest rate sensitivity in an anticipated rising interest rate environment.

Noninterest expense increased by $15.4 million, or 13.3 percent, for the three months ended September 30, 2010, and by $33.3 million, or 9.8 percent, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to the same period in 2009. Table 5 above summarizes the components of noninterest expense and the respective year-over-year comparison for each category.

Salaries and employee benefits increased by $8.9 million, or 14.7 percent, for the three months ended September 30, 2010, and by $17.1 million, or 9.6 percent, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to the same period in 2009. These increases are primarily due to higher base salary, commission, and health insurance costs. Within each of these categories is the direct impact from the acquisitions during the periods. Salaries increased by $3.5 million, or 7.0 percent, and $5.9 million, or 4.8 percent, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to the same periods in 2009. Commissions and bonuses increased by $5.1 million, or 31.3 percent, and $8.0 million, or 35.6 percent, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to the same periods in 2009. Employee benefits costs increased by $0.4 million, or 4.0 percent, and $2.1 million, or 7.1 percent, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to the same periods in 2009.

Processing fees increased $1.9 million, or 19.8 percent, for the three months ended September 30, 2010, and by $9.0 million, or 36.3 percent, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to the same period in 2009. This increase, which is correlated to the increase in trust and securities processing income noted above, is due to increased third party custodian fees related to international transactions from mutual fund clients and fees paid by the advisor to third-party distributors of the Scout Funds.

Income Tax Expense

The effective tax rate is 27.4 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to 27.6 percent for the same period in 2009.

Commercial Financial Services’ net income before taxes decreased $0.8 million, or 1.6 percent, to $45.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease in net income was driven primarily by an increase in noninterest expense of $4.9 million, or 6.0 percent, offset by a decrease in provision for loan loss of $1.9 million, or 18.7 percent, an increase in net interest income of $0.9 million, or 0.8 percent, and an increase in noninterest income of $1.4 million, or 5.5 percent. Noninterest expense increased due to higher allocated overhead costs compared to 2009. Total earning asset balances are up over the prior year by $40.0 million, or 1.2 percent; whereas, deposits and repurchase agreements increased by $206.0 million, 6.2 percent. Volume increases on both sides of the balance sheet are driving the increase in net interest margin. Noninterest income increased due to higher loan fees.

Institutional Financial Services’ net income before taxes decreased $3.6 million to $38.1 million from the same period in 2009. Noninterest income increased $33.2 million, offset by a $27.7 million increase in noninterest expense and a $4.3 million decrease in net interest income. Noninterest income increased due to a $11.5 million increase in advisory fees associated with the Scout Funds and a $12.7 million increase in fund administration and custody services income. Scout Fund fee income increased due to inflows of $1.1 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and overall market appreciation over last year. Fee income from the acquisition of J.D. Clark & Co., Inc. and market appreciation were the drivers of the increase in fund administration and custody services income compared to 2009. Credit card income increased $4.9 million due to increased processing fees. Credit card balances increased approximately $121.0 million compared to 2009 primarily from the acquisition of 5 credit card portfolios totaling approximately $90.0 million over the past year. Noninterest expense increased $3.4 million from third party custodial fees related to international transactions from mutual fund clients and increased $3.7 million in third party fees paid by the advisor to distributors of the Scout Funds. The other driver was an increase in salaries and benefits of $14.0 million due to increased commission expense related to the increased revenue in this segment as well as the addition of base salary expenses from the acquisition of J.D. Clark & Co., Inc. Net interest income decreased due to decreased funds transfer pricing on deposits in this segment.

Personal Financial Services’ net income before taxes increased by $13.8 million to $13.1 million compared to 2009. Several drivers contributed to this increase. Earning asset balances have decreased, but the rate of the decrease has slowed in 2010 as the indirect automobile portfolio runoff is slowing. This is offset by the growth in the home equity loan portfolio. Net interest income increased $10.0 million, or 14.6 percent, over 2009 due to decreased funds transfer pricing costs on assets and an increased funds transfer pricing on deposits in this segment. The deposit balances have also increased in this segment compared to 2009. Noninterest income increased $1.9 million, or 2.7 percent, from 2009. This increase was due to an increase in trust fee income related to the acquisition of Prairie Capital Management, LLC. This increase was offset by a reduction in deposit service charges as a result of changes in consumer behavior as a result of the new overdraft legislation that became effective during the quarter. Noninterest expense decreased $2.7 million, or 2.0 percent, over 2009. The decrease was primarily due to a decreased salaries and benefits expenses and decreased allocated overhead expenses.

The net income before tax for the Treasury and Other Adjustments category was $2.4 million for the first nine months of 2010, compared to net income before tax of $3.4 million for the same period in 2009.

Balance Sheet Analysis

Total assets of the Company as of September 30, 2010 decreased $323.3 million compared to December 31, 2009 and increased $1.1 million, or 10.8 percent, compared to September 30, 2009. The increase in total assets from September 2009 to September 2010 is a result of increased investment securities balances including trading securities of $678.8 million, or 15.1 percent. This asset balance increase is directly related to a corresponding increase in deposit balances between the same periods of $711.6 million, or 9.0 percent, and an increase in fed funds purchased and repurchase agreements of $285.5 million, or 24.9 percent. The decrease in total assets from December to September is primarily a result of the cyclical trend due to the pledging of investment securities and collateral required related to seasonal public fund repurchase agreements and deposits.

Total deposits increased slightly and federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreement to repurchase declined at September 30, 2010 compared to December 31, 2009. Deposits increased by $67.3 million, or 0.8 percent, from December to September, and federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreement to repurchase decreased by $495.4 million, or 25.7 percent, from December to September. This decline in securities sold under agreement to repurchase is primarily driven by the run-off of seasonal public fund tax deposits, as such tax deposits are generally higher around the end of the calendar year.

Loans

Loans represent the Company’s largest source of interest income. In addition to growing the commercial loan portfolio, management believes its middle market commercial business and its consumer business, including home equity and credit card loan products, are the market niches that represent its best opportunity to cross-sell fee-related services.

Total loan balances have increased $268.9 million, or 6.2 percent, compared to December 31, 2009 and increased $268.6 million, or 6.2 percent, at September 30, 2010 compared to September 30, 2009. The increase from December 31, 2009 is primarily a result of a 3.8 percent increase in commercial loans and a 11.4 percent increase in real estate loans. The increase at September 30, 2010 compared to September 30, 2009 was primarily related to a $242.3 million increase in real estate loans and a $38.1 million decrease in consumer loans. The increase in real estate loans is driven by home equity loans and commercial real estate loans.

Nonaccrual, past due and restructured loans are discussed under “Credit Risk Management” within “Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in this report.

Securities

The Company’s securities portfolio provides liquidity as a result of the composition and average life of the underlying securities. This liquidity can be used to fund loan growth or to offset the outflow of traditional funding sources. In addition to providing a potential source of liquidity, the securities portfolio can be used as a tool to manage interest rate sensitivity. The Company’s goal in the management of its securities portfolio is to maximize return within the Company’s parameters of liquidity goals, interest rate risk and credit risk. The Company maintains strong liquidity levels while investing in only high-grade securities. The securities portfolio generates the Company’s second largest component of interest income.

32

Investment securities totaled $5.2 billion at September 30, 2010, compared to $4.5 billion at September 30, 2009, and $5.0 billion at December 31, 2009. Collateral pledging requirements for public funds, loan demand, and deposit funding are the primary factors impacting changes in the level of security holdings. Investment securities comprised 49.9 percent, 46.9 percent, and 47.8 percent, respectively, of the earning assets as of September 30, 2010, December 31, 2009, and September 30, 2009. There were $3.6 billion of these securities pledged to secure U.S. Government deposits, other public deposits, securities sold under repurchase agreements, and certain trust deposits as required by law at September 30, 2010.

Investment securities had an average tax-equivalent yield of 2.77 percent for the first nine months of 2010 compared to 3.57 percent for the same period in 2009, or a decrease of 80 basis points. The average life of the securities portfolio was 26.7 months at September 30, 2010 compared to 22.9 months at December 31, 2009 and 24.2 months at September 30, 2009. The increase in average life from September 30, 2009 was related to a modest lengthening of the portfolio due to a lower percentage of short term investments held in the portfolio compared to the same period last year.

Deposits and Borrowed Funds

Deposits increased $67.3 million, or 0.8 percent, from December 31, 2009 to September 30, 2010 and increased $711.6 million from September 30, 2009. Noninterest-bearing deposits were flat and interest-bearing deposits increased $63.8 million from December 31, 2009. Noninterest-bearing deposits increased $184.1 million and interest-bearing deposits increased $527.5 million from September 30, 2009. The increase in deposits from September 30, 2009 came primarily from the public funds, mutual fund processing and treasury management businesses.

Deposits represent the Company’s primary funding source for its asset base. In addition to the core deposits garnered by the Company’s retail branch structure, the Company continues to focus on its cash management services, as well as its trust and mutual fund services in order to attract and retain additional core deposits. Management believes a strong core deposit composition is one of the Company’s key competencies given its competitive product mix.

Borrowed funds decreased $513.5 million from December 31, 2009. Borrowed funds are typically higher at year end due to repurchase agreements related to public funds. Borrowings, other than repurchase agreements, are a function of the source and use of funds and will fluctuate to cover short term gaps in funding.

Federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreement to repurchase totaled $1.4 billion at September 30, 2010, compared to $1.9 billion at December 31, 2009. Repurchase agreements are transactions involving the exchange of investment funds by the customer for securities by the Company under an agreement to repurchase the same or similar issues at an agreed-upon price and date.

Capital and Liquidity

The Company places a significant emphasis on the maintenance of a strong capital position, which promotes investor confidence, provides access to funding sources under favorable terms, and enhances the Company’s ability to capitalize on business growth and acquisition opportunities. Higher levels of liquidity, however, bear corresponding costs, measured in terms of lower yields on short-term, more liquid earning assets and higher expenses for extended liability maturities. The Company manages capital for each subsidiary based upon the subsidiary’s respective risks and growth opportunities as well as regulatory requirements.

Total shareholders’ equity was $1.1 billion at September 30, 2010, a $74.6 million increase compared to December 31, 2009. The Company’s Board of Directors authorized, at its April 27, 2010, April 21, 2009, and April 22, 2008 meetings, the repurchase of up to two million shares of the Company’s common stock during the twelve months following the meetings. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company acquired 201,518 shares and 689,743 shares, respectively, of its common stock under these plans. The Company has not made any purchases other than through these plans.

33

On October 26, 2010, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.195 per share. The dividend will be paid on December 30, 2010 to shareholders of record on December 10, 2010.

Risk-based capital guidelines established by regulatory agencies set minimum capital standards based on the level of risk associated with a financial institution’s assets. A financial institution’s total capital is required to equal at least 8 percent of risk-weighted assets and must be at least 10 percent of risk-weighted assets to be considered well-capitalized. At least half of the 8 percent minimum must consist of Tier 1 core capital, and the remainder may be Tier 2 supplementary capital. The risk-based capital guidelines indicate the specific risk weightings by type of asset. Certain off-balance-sheet items (such as standby letters of credit and binding loan commitments) are multiplied by credit conversion factors to translate them into balance sheet equivalents before assigning them specific risk weightings. Due to the Company’s high level of core capital and substantial portion of earning assets invested in government securities, the Tier 1 capital ratio of 12.61 percent and total capital ratio of 13.78 percent substantially exceed the regulatory minimums.

For further discussion of capital and liquidity, see “Liquidity Risk” under “Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in this report.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company’s main off-balance sheet arrangements are loan commitments, commercial and standby letters of credit, futures contracts and forward exchange contracts, which have maturity dates rather than payment due dates. Please see Note 7, “Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for detailed information on these arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these condensed consolidated

34

financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to customers and suppliers, allowance for loan losses, bad debts, investments, financing operations, long-lived assets, contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which have formed the basis for making such judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from the recorded estimates under different assumptions or conditions. A summary of critical accounting policies is listed in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section of the Company’s Annual Report Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Risk Management

Market risk is a broad term for the risk of economic loss due to adverse changes in the fair value of financial instruments. These changes may be the result of various factors, including interest rates, foreign exchange prices, commodity prices or equity prices. Financial instruments that are subject to market risk can be classified either as held for trading or held for purposes other than trading.

The Company is subject to market risk primarily through the effect of changes in interest rates of its assets held for purposes other than trading. The following discussion of interest rate risk, however, combines instruments held for trading and instruments held for purposes other than trading because the instruments held for trading represent such a small portion of the Company’s portfolio that the interest rate risk associated with them is immaterial.

Interest Rate Risk

In the banking industry, a major risk exposure is changing interest rates. To minimize the effect of interest rate changes to net interest income and exposure levels to economic losses, the Company manages its exposure to changes in interest rates through asset and liability management within guidelines established by its Funds Management Committee (“FMC”) and approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. The FMC has the responsibility for approving and ensuring compliance with asset/liability management policies, including interest rate exposure. The Company’s primary method for measuring and analyzing consolidated interest rate risk is the Net Interest Income Simulation Analysis. The Company also uses a Net Portfolio Value model to measure market value risk under various rate change scenarios and a gap analysis to measure maturity and repricing relationships between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities at specific points in time. On a limited basis, the Company uses hedges or swaps to manage interest rate risk by using futures contracts on trading securities.

Overall, the Company manages interest rate risk by positioning the balance sheet to maximize net interest income while maintaining an acceptable level of interest rate and credit risk, remaining mindful of the relationship among profitability, liquidity, interest rate risk and credit risk.

Net Interest Income Modeling

The Company’s primary interest rate risk tool, the Net Interest Income Simulation Analysis, measures interest rate risk and the effect of interest rate changes on net interest income and net interest margin. This analysis incorporates substantially all of the Company’s assets and liabilities together with forecasted changes in the balance sheet and assumptions that reflect the current interest rate environment. Through these simulations, management estimates the impact on net interest income of a 300 basis point upward gradual change of market interest rates over a one year period. Assumptions are made to project rates for new loans and deposits based on historical analysis, management outlook, and repricing strategies. Asset prepayments and other market risks are developed from industry estimates of prepayment speeds and other market changes. Since the results of these simulations can be significantly influenced by assumptions utilized, management evaluates the sensitivity of the simulation results to changes in assumptions.

Table 9 shows the net interest income increase or decrease over the next twelve months as of September 30, 2010 and 2009 based on hypothetical changes in interest rates.

36

Table 9

MARKET RISK (unaudited, dollars in thousands)

Hypothetical change in interest rate (Rates in Basis Points)	September 30, 2010 Amount of change	September 30, 2009 Amount of change

200	3,999	777
100	1,319	451
Static	—	—
(100)	N/A	N/A

The Company is sensitive at September 30, 2010, to increases in rates. Increases in interest rates are projected to cause increases in net interest income. A large portion of the Company’s assets and liabilities have reached a floor. Due to the already low interest rate environment, the Company did not include a 100 basis point falling scenario. For projected increases in rates, net interest income is projected to increase due to the Company being positioned to adjust yields on assets with changes in market rates more than the cost of paying liabilities is projected to increase. Nevertheless, the Company is positioned in the current low rate environment to be relatively neutral to further interest rate changes over the next twelve months.

Repricing Mismatch Analysis

The Company also evaluates its interest rate sensitivity position in an attempt to maintain a balance between the amount of interest-bearing assets and interest-bearing liabilities that are expected to mature or reprice at any point in time. While a traditional repricing mismatch analysis (“gap analysis”) provides a snapshot of interest rate risk, it does not take into consideration that assets and liabilities with similar repricing characteristics may not in fact reprice at the same time or the same degree. Also, it does not necessarily predict the impact of changes in general levels of interest rates on net interest income.

Trading Account

UMB Bank, n.a. (the “Bank”) carries taxable government securities in a trading account that is maintained according to a board-approved policy and relevant procedures. The policy limits the amount and type of securities that the bank can carry in the trading account and also requires that the bank comply with any limits under applicable law and regulations. The policy also mandates the use of a value at risk methodology to manage price volatility risks within financial parameters. The risk associated with carrying trading securities is offset by the sale of exchange traded futures contracts, with both the trading account and futures contracts marked to market daily. This account had a balance of $40.5 million as of September 30, 2010 compared to $38.2 million as of December 31, 2009.

Documentation of the methodology used in determining value at risk is reviewed by the Board for approval in compliance with OCC Banking Circular 277, Risk Management of Financial Derivatives, and other banking laws and regulations. The aggregate value at risk is reviewed quarterly. The aggregate value at risk in the trading account was insignificant as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

Other Market Risk

The Company does not have material commodity price risks or derivative risks. The Company does have minimal foreign currency risk as a result of foreign exchange contracts. See Note 8 “Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees” in the notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

37

Credit Risk Management

Credit risk represents the risk that a customer may not perform in accordance with contractual terms. Credit risk is inherent in the financial services business and results from extending credit to customers. The Company utilizes a centralized credit administration function, which provides information on affiliate bank risk levels, delinquencies, an internal ranking system and overall credit exposure. In addition, the Company centrally reviews loan requests to ensure the consistent application of the loan policy and standards. The Company has an internal loan review staff that operates independently of the affiliate banks. This review team performs periodic examinations of each bank’s loans for credit quality, documentation and loan administration. The respective regulatory authority of each affiliate bank also reviews loan portfolios.

A primary indicator of credit quality and risk management is the level of nonperforming loans. Nonperforming loans include both nonaccrual loans and restructured loans. The Company’s nonperforming loans increased $2.6 million to $25.0 million at September 30, 2010, compared to September 30, 2009 and increased $1.8 million, compared to December 31, 2009.

The Company had $5.7 million of other real estate owned as of September 30, 2010 compared to $4.7 million as of September 30, 2009 and $5.2 million as of December 31, 2009. Loans past due more than 90 days totaled $7.5 million as of September 30, 2010, compared to $5.6 million at September 30, 2009 and $8.3 million as of December 31, 2009.

A loan is generally placed on nonaccrual status when payments are past due 90 days or more and/or when management has considerable doubt about the borrower’s ability to repay on the terms originally contracted. The accrual of interest is discontinued and recorded thereafter only when actually received in cash.

Certain loans are restructured to provide a reduction or deferral of interest or principal due to deterioration in the financial condition of the respective borrowers. The Company had $2.0 million of restructured loans at September 30, 2010, $0 at September 30, 2009 and $2.0 million at December 31, 2009.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity represents the Company’s ability to meet financial commitments through the maturity and sale of existing assets or availability of additional funds. The most important factor in the preservation of liquidity is maintaining public confidence that facilitates the retention and growth of a large, stable supply of core deposits and wholesale funds. Ultimately, public confidence is generated through profitable operations, sound credit quality and a strong capital position. The primary source of liquidity for the Company is regularly scheduled payments and maturity of assets, which include $5.1 billion of high-quality securities available for sale. Investment securities with a market value of $3.6 billion at September 30, 2010 were pledged to secure U.S. Government deposits, other public deposits, securities sold under repurchase agreements, and certain trust deposits as required by law. The liquidity of the Company and its affiliate banks is also enhanced by its activity in the federal funds market and by its core deposits. Neither the Company nor its subsidiaries are active in the debt market. The traditional funding source for the Company’s subsidiary banks has been core deposits. Based upon regular contact with investment banking firms, management believes it can raise debt or equity capital on favorable terms, should the need arise.

The Company also has other commercial commitments that may impact liquidity. These commitments include unused commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and financial guarantees, and commercial letters of credit. The total amount of these commercial commitments at September 30, 2010 was $3.5 billion. Since many of these commitments expire without being drawn upon, the total amount of these commercial commitments does not necessarily represent the future cash requirements of the Company.

The Company’s cash requirements consist primarily of dividends to shareholders, debt service, operating costs, and treasury stock purchases. Management fees and dividends received from subsidiary banks traditionally have been sufficient to satisfy these requirements and are expected to be sufficient in the future. The Company’s subsidiary banks are subject to various rules regarding payment of dividends to the Company. For the most part, all banks can pay dividends at least equal to their current year’s earnings without seeking prior regulatory approval. From time to time, approvals have been requested to allow a subsidiary bank to pay a dividend in excess of its current earnings.

Operational Risk

Operational risk generally refers to the risk of loss resulting from the Company’s operations, including those operations performed for the Company by third parties. This would include but is not limited to the risk of fraud by employees or persons outside the Company, the execution of unauthorized transactions by employees or others, errors relating to transaction processing, breaches of the internal control system and compliance requirements, and unplanned interruptions in service. This risk of loss also includes the potential legal or regulatory actions that could arise as a result of an operational deficiency, or as a result of noncompliance with applicable regulatory standards. Included in the legal and regulatory issues with which the Company must comply are a number of imposed rules resulting from the enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

The Company operates in many markets and places reliance on the ability of its employees and systems to properly process a high number of transactions. In the event of a breakdown in the internal control systems, improper operation of systems or improper employee actions, the Company could suffer financial loss, face regulatory action and suffer damage to its reputation. In order to address this risk, management maintains a system of internal controls with the objective of providing proper transaction authorization and execution, safeguarding of assets from misuse or theft, and ensuring the reliability of financial and other data.

The Company maintains systems of controls that provide management with timely and accurate information about the Company’s operations. These systems have been designed to manage operational risk at appropriate levels given the Company’s financial strength, the environment in which it operates, and considering factors such as competition and regulation. The Company has also established procedures that are designed to ensure that policies relating to conduct, ethics and business practices are followed on a uniform basis. In certain cases, the Company has experienced losses from operational risk. Such losses have included the effects of operational errors that the Company has discovered and included as expense in the statement of income. While there can be no assurance that the Company will not suffer such losses in the future, management continually monitors and works to improve its internal controls, systems and corporate-wide processes and procedures.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officers to make certain certifications with respect to this report and to the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. The Company has a Code of Ethics that expresses the values that drive employee behavior and maintains the Company’s commitment to the highest standards of ethics.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s “Disclosure Controls and Procedures” (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by the report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective for ensuring that information the Company is required to report in its periodic SEC filings is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period required and that information required to be disclosed by the Company is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the period to which this report relates that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are named defendants in various lawsuits and counter-claims. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, none of these lawsuits are expected to have a materially adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

There were no material changes to the risk factors as previously disclosed in response to Item 1A to Part 1 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, except as set forth below.

The enactment of the Dodd-Frank Act could have an adverse impact on our financial results.

In July 2010, Congress enacted and the President signed broad financial regulatory reform legislation that, among other things, will impose comprehensive regulation on financial institutions. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) will subject financial institutions to substantial supervision and regulation, including capital standards, margin requirements, business conduct standards, recordkeeping and reporting requirements. While the substance of the Dodd-Frank Act is known, it is not possible at this time to predict the final form and substance of the regulations that will be adopted to carry out the Act. Any such regulations that subject us or our counter-parties to additional capital or margin requirements relating to, or to additional restrictions on business practices could have an adverse effect on our financial results. This financial impact is not currently quantifiable.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

The table below sets forth the information with respect to purchases made by or on behalf of the Company or any “affiliated purchaser” (as defined in Rule 10b-18(a)(3) under the Exchange Act) of our common stock during the three months ended September 30, 2010.

On April 27, 2010, the Company announced a plan to repurchase up to two million shares of common stock. This plan will terminate on April 26, 2011. All open market share purchases under the share repurchase plan are intended to be within the scope of Rule 10b-18 promulgated under the Exchange Act. Rule 10b-18 provides a safe harbor for purchases in a given day if the Company satisfies the manner, timing and volume conditions of the rule when purchasing its own common shares. The Company has not made any repurchases other than through this plan.

SECTION 1. PURCHASE AND SALE OF ASSETS.

1.1 Sale of Assets. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, Purchaser agrees to purchase from Seller, and Seller agrees to sell, convey, transfer, assign, and deliver to Purchaser, on the Closing Date (as defined in Section 1.10 hereof), all of the properties, rights and assets of Seller (except for the Excluded Assets (as defined in Section 1.2 hereof)), of every kind and description, wherever located, used or useable in the Business, whether or not carried and reflected on the books of Seller (collectively, the “Purchased Assets”), free and clear of all Liens (as defined below), other than Liens imposed by Law for Taxes not yet due and payable or which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which adequate reserves are being maintained in accordance with GAAP (as defined below) (“Permitted Liens”).

(c) the investment management agreements, contracts, commitments, licensing agreements, leases (including, without limitation, the Leases and any capital or operating leases related to office equipment), subleases, contracts for services and supplies, contracts to sell services set forth on Schedule 1.1(c) attached hereto, and all other agreements (whether written or oral) to which Seller is a party or under which Seller receives benefits arising out of or related to the Business set forth on Schedule 1.1(c) attached hereto, and all rights thereunder (collectively, the “Assigned Contracts”);

(d) all federal, state, local, foreign or other governmental permits (including, without limitation, occupancy permits), certificates, licenses, consents, and authorizations (collectively, the “Permits”) used or useable by Seller in connection with the conduct of the Business listed on Schedule 1.1(d) attached hereto;

(e) all logs, business and financial records (other than original Corporate Records (as defined in Section 1.2(a) hereof) and copies of Seller’s Tax Returns (as defined in Section 2.9(b) hereof) and related work papers as described in Section 1.2(g) hereof), employee files, data, and books of account (or true copies thereof), whether printed or computerized;

2

(f) all copyrightable works (whether or not published), all registered and unregistered copyrights and applications therefor (including renewals), registered and unregistered trademarks and applications therefor (including renewals), registered and unregistered service marks and applications therefor (including renewals), trade secrets and trade secret rights, patents, patent applications (including renewals, reexaminations, divisionals, and continuations), patent disclosures (together with all re-issuances, continuations, continuations-in-part, revisions and extensions), patent rights, inventions and discoveries (whether or not patentable and whether or not reduced to practice), trade names and trade name rights, trade dress and corporate names (including, without limitation, the trade name Reams Asset Management Company and the corporate name Reams Asset Management Company, LLC, together, in each instance, with all translations, adaptations, derivations and combinations thereof), websites including website code, content and graphics, domain names and URLs, e-mail addresses, computer software and all related source code and object code, and other similar rights used or useable in the Business, including, but not limited to, those listed on Schedule 1.l(f) attached hereto, as well as all goodwill of the Business as a going concern, including without limitation lists of customers and suppliers, correspondence, purchase orders, market surveys, and marketing know-how; general intangibles of the Business, including without limitation techniques, processes, inventions, designs, logos, data bases, formulae and know-how that pertain to the Business; and, to the extent assignable, all licenses, sublicenses, agreements and permissions to or from third parties with respect to the foregoing or rights related thereto (collectively, the “Proprietary Rights”);

(g) to the extent assignable, all memberships in trade associations;

(h) all mailing lists, subscriber and advertiser lists, subscriptions or processes of Seller used in or relating to the Business;

(i) all advertising, editorial, marketing, promotional and ancillary materials and sources, client information pertaining to persons and planned services (if any) and supplier information used in or related to the Business;

(l) all other assets of Seller used or useable in the Business.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.1, the transfer of the Purchased Assets pursuant to this Agreement shall not include the assumption of any liability or obligation related to the Purchased Assets or the Business, unless such liability or obligation is expressly included in the Assumed Liabilities (as defined below). To the extent that any contract, lease or other agreement that would otherwise be an Assigned Contract is not capable of being transferred by Seller hereunder without the consent of another Person which has not

3

been obtained as of the Closing (which contracts, leases or other agreements are listed on Schedule 1.1(c) attached hereto (the “Subject Contracts”)), neither this Agreement nor the Bill of Sale (as defined below) shall constitute an agreement to assign the same if an attempted assignment would constitute a breach thereof or be unlawful. To the extent not already obtained by Seller prior to the Closing, on and after the Closing, Seller shall, at its expense, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain each such required consent as promptly as possible, and Purchaser shall cooperate in such efforts. If any such consent is not obtained, Purchaser shall nevertheless pay and perform Seller’s going-forward obligations under each such Subject Contract subject to Seller providing to or otherwise obtaining for Purchaser the corresponding benefits thereunder, and the parties shall cooperate with one another in any reasonable arrangement proposed by either party to result in such effect, in each case to the extent permitted under applicable Law and the terms of any such Subject Contract. If and when the consent of the third party to a Subject Contract is obtained upon terms reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, such Subject Contract shall become an Assigned Contract hereunder.

1.2 Excluded Assets. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchased Assets shall not include the following items (the “Excluded Assets”):

(a) Seller’s record books and limited liability company record books containing minutes of meetings of managers and members, and any other records that relate exclusively to Seller’s organization or capitalization (collectively, the “Corporate Records”), provided, however, that Seller shall provide Purchaser prior to the Closing with copies of each of the foregoing;

(b) subject to the last paragraph of Section 1.1 hereof, all contracts, commitments, licensing agreements, leases, subleases, contracts for services and supplies, contracts to sell services and all other agreements to which Seller is a party or under which Seller receives benefits other than the Assigned Contracts, and all rights thereunder;

(c) Seller’s rights under this Agreement and the agreements and instruments delivered to Purchaser pursuant hereto, and all monies to be received by Seller from Purchaser under this Agreement (without prejudice to Purchaser’s right to recoupment thereof as set forth elsewhere herein or as otherwise permitted by Law);

(d) Seller’s rights to any insurance refunds relating to portions of any premiums paid by Seller on or prior to the Closing that cover periods following the Closing Date;

(e) Seller’s rights to any refunds in respect of Taxes (as defined in Section 2.9 hereof) for periods or portions of periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date;

(f) all accounts receivable held by Seller as of the Closing Date;

(g) all cash and cash equivalents of Seller, marketable securities or certificates of deposit, or any collected funds or items in the process of collection through and including the Closing Date;

(h) all pre-paid expenses other than the Pre-Paid Expenses (as defined below);

4

(i) any claims, refunds, causes of action, choses in action, rights against any third party (including, without limitation, insurance carriers), rights of set-off and all other rights and assets of every kind and nature to the extent they relate to the Excluded Assets set forth above or otherwise relate to the Excluded Liabilities (except to the extent Purchaser shall have incurred costs and expenses with respect thereto); and

(j) Seller’s Tax Returns and all work papers related thereto; provided, however, that Seller shall provide Purchaser with copies of the foregoing as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement.

1.3 Assumption of Liabilities. Upon the sale and purchase of the Purchased Assets, Purchaser agrees to assume, pay, and perform in accordance with their respective terms only the following obligations and liabilities of Seller relating to the Business and only to the extent such obligations and liabilities are not overdue or delinquent on the Closing Date (the “Assumed Liabilities”):

(a) the contractual obligations of Seller under all Assigned Contracts assigned to and assumed by Purchaser and, subject to the last paragraph of Section 1.1 hereof, the contractual obligations of Seller under any Subject Contract, in each case to the extent such obligations pertain to periods after the Closing Date; and

(b) the Accrued Expenses.

The assumption of the Assumed Liabilities by Purchaser shall not enlarge any rights of third parties under contracts or arrangements with Purchaser or Seller and nothing herein shall prevent any party from contesting in good faith with any third party any of said liabilities.

1.4 Excluded Liabilities. Except for the Assumed Liabilities, Purchaser shall not assume or be bound by any obligations or liabilities of Seller of any kind or nature, known, unknown, accrued, absolute, fixed, contingent, or otherwise, whether or not existing or hereafter arising whatsoever (the “Excluded Liabilities”), including, without limitation, the following:

(a) all Taxes imposed on, collected by or withheld with respect to, or in any way related to the Business or the Purchased Assets for any periods prior to and including the Closing Date;

(b) all Taxes imposed on, collected by or withheld with respect to, or in any way related to Seller or the Members;

(c) liabilities or obligations of Seller in respect of indebtedness for borrowed money or any other notes payable;

(d) liabilities and obligations of Seller in connection with or relating to any of Seller’s existing or former employees, employee benefit plans or programs, including, without limitation, any “stay bonus,” severance or other termination obligations of Seller owed to any other existing or former employee;

(k) all accounts payable of Seller and any accrued expenses other than the Accrued Expenses (as defined below);

(l) any success fees payable to Frontier Partners pursuant to Seller’s consulting agreement with such party; and

(m) any other liability, obligation, claim, action, complaint, debt, suit, cause of action, investigation, or proceeding of any kind whatsoever, against or relating to Seller, the Business, or the Purchased Assets, whether asserted, instituted, or commenced prior to or after the Closing Date, by any third party for damages suffered by such third party resulting from the use, ownership or lease of the Purchased Assets, the Owned Real Property or the Leased Real Property (as defined below) or operation of the Business on or prior to the Closing Date, or any actions taken or omitted to be taken by Seller on or prior to the Closing Date, or with respect to any continuing business activities of Seller after the Closing Date.

1.5 Purchase Price Calculation. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, the consideration to be paid to Seller for the Purchased Assets and the Restrictive Covenants (as defined in Section 4.12) hereunder shall consist of the following (collectively, the “Purchase Price”):

(a) The Initial Cash Consideration (as defined below); plus

(b) The amount, if any, by which the Closing Date Accrual Amount, as finally determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.7, is greater than Zero Dollars ($0) (the “Target Amount”); or minus the amount, if any, by which such Closing Date Accrual Amount is less than the Target Amount (such adjustment is referred to herein as the “Accruals Adjustment”); plus

(c) The Retention Shares (as defined below), if applicable; plus

6

(d) The Subsequent Payments (as defined below).

1.6 Closing Date Purchase Price Payment. On the Closing Date:

(a) Purchaser shall deliver to Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds an amount equal to:

(i) Forty-Two Million Dollars ($42,000,000) (the “Initial Cash Consideration”), plus or minus, as determined pursuant to Section 1.7,

(ii) the Estimated Accruals Surplus or the Estimated Accruals Deficiency, minus

(iii) the Pay-off Amounts (to the extent applicable).

(b) Purchaser shall pay, on behalf of Seller at its request hereby, the amounts necessary to satisfy any indebtedness of Seller disclosed on Schedule 2.27 directly to the related indebted parties (the “Pay-off Amounts”).

1.7 Post-Closing Adjustment to Purchase Price.

(a) Payment of the Amount of the Accruals Adjustment.

(i) Not later than three (3) business days prior to the anticipated Closing Date, Seller shall prepare in good faith a written estimate of the Closing Date Accrual Amount (the “Estimated Closing Date Accrual Amount”). If the Estimated Closing Date Accrual Amount is less than the Target Amount, the Initial Cash Consideration shall be decreased by the amount of any such difference (the “Estimated Accruals Deficiency”), as set forth in Section 1.6(a). If the Estimated Closing Date Accrual Amount is greater than the Target Amount, the Initial Cash Consideration shall be increased by the amount of any such difference (the “Estimated Accruals Surplus”), as set forth in Section 1.6(a).

(ii) Not later than ten (10) business days after the Closing Date Accrual Amount is finally determined pursuant to Section 1.7(b), (A) Seller shall pay to Purchaser the amount, if any, by which the Closing Date Accrual Amount, as finally determined in accordance with Section 1.7(b), is less than the Estimated Closing Date Accrual Amount, or (B) Purchaser shall pay to Seller the amount, if any, by which such Closing Date Accrual Amount is greater than the Estimated Closing Date Accrual Amount.

(b) Preparation of the Closing Date Balance Sheet.

(i) Not later than one hundred twenty (120) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall, at its sole cost, prepare and deliver to Seller (A) an unaudited balance sheet of Seller as of the close of business on the Closing Date (the “Closing Date Balance Sheet”) which shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied (“GAAP”); and (B) a schedule (the “Schedule of Adjustments”) setting forth in reasonable detail Purchaser’s good faith computation of the Accruals Adjustment based upon the Closing Date Balance Sheet and Closing Date Accrual Amount and reflecting any change from the Estimated Closing Date Accrual Amount.

7

(ii) Not later than thirty (30) days after the delivery of the Closing Date Balance Sheet and Schedule of Adjustments to Seller, Seller shall present any objections that Seller may have to any of the matters set forth therein, which objections shall be set forth in writing and in reasonable detail, and Seller shall present its own calculation of the Closing Date Accrual Amount. During such thirty (30) day review period, Purchaser agrees to provide, or cause to be provided, to Seller and the Members and their respective representatives reasonable access during normal business hours to the relevant records and working papers of Seller, and copies of such records and working papers, to aid in Seller’s review of the Closing Date Balance Sheet, Schedule of Adjustments and Accruals Adjustment. If Seller does not deliver any written objections to Purchaser within such 30-day period, Seller shall be deemed to have accepted the Closing Date Balance Sheet, Schedule of Adjustments and Accruals Adjustment and irrevocably waived any right to object thereto. Following the delivery to Purchaser of any objections to the Closing Date Balance Sheet, Schedule of Adjustments and/or Accruals Adjustment, Purchaser and Seller shall meet to discuss the objections raised by Seller with a good faith view toward resolving such objections. If Seller and Purchaser are able to resolve the objections raised by Seller, then they shall reduce such resolution to writing and such agreed upon Accruals Adjustment valuation shall be final and binding on Purchaser and Seller.

(iii) If Seller delivers such written objections to the Closing Date Balance Sheet, Schedule of Adjustments and/or Accruals Adjustment and all such objections are not resolved by Purchaser and Seller within thirty (30) calendar days after delivery to Purchaser of such objections, then such dispute shall be submitted not later than seven (7) calendar days thereafter to a nationally or regionally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants to be mutually agreed upon by Purchaser and Seller other than any firm which performs, or within the past three years has performed, audits or financial statement reviews or financial statement compilations for Seller or Purchaser (the “Independent Accountant”). The Independent Accountant shall be instructed to deliver a decision solely with respect to the amount of the Accruals Adjustment and the other matters referred to it for determination within thirty (30) calendar days after the submission of such matters to the Independent Accountant, and to only render a decision with respect to the matters submitted for determination. The Independent Accountant shall be instructed that its decision shall be in writing and shall include (A) a statement describing in reasonable detail the decision of the Independent Accountant with respect to each item in dispute submitted to the Independent Accountant; (B) a computation of the Accruals Adjustment using the amounts determined by the Independent Accountant and reflecting changes, if any, to the Schedule of Adjustments and the Closing Date Balance Sheet, it being understood that the amount of the Closing Date Accrual Amount shall not be (x) less than the amount shown in Purchaser’s Accruals Adjustment and Schedule of Adjustments, nor (y) more than the amount thereof set forth in Seller’s written objections delivered to Purchaser pursuant to Section 1.7(b)(ii). The decision of the Independent Accountant shall be final and binding and conclusive upon Purchaser and Seller for all purposes under this Agreement, absent manifest error. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be shared equally by Purchaser on the one hand, and Seller on the other hand.

8

(c) For purposes of this Agreement, “Closing Date Accrual Amount” shall mean (i) any fee income of the Business which has been accrued but has not yet been invoiced (“Accrued Revenues”), plus (ii) any pre-paid expenses incurred in the ordinary course of Business excluding any pre-paid expenses relating to insurance or Marquis Jet or which otherwise relate to Excluded Assets or Excluded Liabilities (“Pre-Paid Expenses”), less (iii) the expenses incurred in the ordinary course of Business which have been accrued but not yet payable or invoiced but excluding any employee compensation and benefit-related expenses of the Business or which otherwise relate to Excluded Assets or Excluded Liabilities (“Accrued Expenses”), in each case determined as of the close of business on the Closing Date and in accordance with GAAP, less (iv) Four Hundred Sixty-Nine Thousand Dollars ($469,000).

1.8 Retention Shares. In the event that the Retention Percentage (as defined below) is at least ninety-five percent (95%), then within five (5) business days after the Determination Date (as defined below), Purchaser shall cause Parent to issue to Seller the Retention Shares (as defined below), which Seller agrees not to sell, offer, transfer, agree to transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, for a period of one (1) year from issuance to Seller. “Determination Date” shall mean the date on which it is finally determined with respect to each Frontegra Fund: (i) that such Frontegra Fund has been reorganized as a Scout Fund in a Frontegra Fund Acquisition (as defined in Section 4.14); (ii) that a Frontegra Fund Sub-Advisory Arrangement (as defined in Section 4.14) has been established under which Purchaser serves as sub-adviser to such Frontegra Fund; or (iii) that no Frontegra Fund Acquisition or Frontegra Fund Sub-Advisory Arrangement (each as defined in Section 4.14) will occur with respect to that Frontegra Fund; provided, however, that in the event that as of the SMA Consent Date (as defined below), the Retention Percentage is at least ninety-five percent (95%), then the Determination Date shall be the same as the SMA Consent Due Date. “Retention Percentage” shall mean a fraction, expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which is the sum of: (i) the projected 12-month client revenue of the Business (with such projected 12-month revenue based on August 31, 2010 assets under management and fee rates) represented by clients consenting to the assignment of their respective investment management agreements (or similar client agreements) with Seller to Purchaser, as evidenced by the execution and delivery of Client Consents (as defined below) on or before the date which is thirty (30) days following the Closing Date (the “SMA Consent Due Date”), and provided that such clients do not terminate their respective investment management agreements (or similar client agreements) with Seller or Purchaser on or before the SMA Consent Due Date; and (ii) the projected 12-month revenue of the Business (with such projected 12-month revenue based on August 31, 2010 assets under management and fee rates) represented by the Frontegra Core Fund and the Frontegra Core Plus Fund, to the extent either such Frontegra Fund has been the subject of a Frontegra Fund Acquisition or Frontegra Fund Sub-Advisory Arrangement (each as defined in Section 4.14); and the denominator of which is the total projected 12-month revenue of the Business (with such projected 12-month revenue based on August 31, 2010 assets under management and fee rates). “Retention Shares” shall mean such number of shares of Parent unregistered common stock (rounded to the next whole share) as may be determined by dividing One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) by the UMBFC Market Price. “UMBFC Market Price” means the market price of common stock of Parent determined based upon the closing price of the common stock of Parent on the Determination Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge and agree that Purchaser has no rights in the Retention Shares.

9

1.9 Subsequent Payments. Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, following the end of each of the first five successive twelve month periods following the Closing Date (each such twelve month period, a “Subsequent Payment Period”), Seller may be entitled to a payment (each, a “Subsequent Payment”) based upon the Adjusted Pre-Tax Income for such Subsequent Payment Period, as detailed on Exhibit 1.9 attached hereto.

1.10 Time and Place of Closing. The closing of the purchase and sale of the Purchased Assets provided for in this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall be held at such location as may be mutually agreed to by the parties, on November 30, 2010 or such earlier date as Purchaser and Seller may otherwise mutually agree (the “Closing Date”); provided, however, that if any of the conditions set forth in Section 6 have not been satisfied or waived by or as of the Closing Date, then the party hereto for whose benefit such conditions have been imposed may postpone such Closing Date, by notice to the other parties hereto specifying the conditions(s) not so satisfied; provided, further, that in no event shall such Closing Date be later than the Termination Date (as defined in Section 10.1(b)) hereof. Notwithstanding any earlier time of the Closing, the Closing shall be deemed to have occurred for all purposes as of 11:59 P.M., Central time, on the Closing Date.

1.11 Delivery of Records and Contracts. Seller shall deliver to Purchaser at the premises of the Business on the Closing Date all business records, copies of Tax Returns, books, and other data relating to the Purchased Assets and the Business (other than the original Corporate Records as to which only copies need be delivered), and Seller shall take all reasonably requisite steps to put Purchaser in actual possession and operating control of the Purchased Assets and the Business.

1.12 Allocation of Purchase Price.

(a) The allocation of the Purchase Price and Assumed Liabilities shall be in accordance with Section 1060 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Purchaser’s third-party accountants shall calculate the allocation of the Purchase Price and Assumed Liabilities after the Closing. Seller and Purchaser shall use such allocation in satisfying any and all reporting requirements of the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and any other Taxing Authority (as defined in Section 2.9); provided, however, in the event of a manifest error with respect to such allocation, or if Purchaser and Seller mutually disagree with such allocation, then the parties will work in good faith to resolve any differences with respect to such allocation. Purchaser and Seller also each agree to file IRS Form 8594 consistently with the foregoing.

(b) Purchaser and Seller agree that the Initial Cash Consideration and the Assumed Liabilities, to the extent thereof, shall be paid or assumed, as the case may be, as consideration for each of the following Purchased Assets in the following order, in each case only to the extent of the amount of the Purchase Price and Assumed Liabilities allocated to such asset pursuant to Section 1.12(a), prior to any other amounts of the Purchase Price or Assumed Liabilities being treated as consideration for such asset: Accrued Revenues, trademarks, or trade names, property and equipment, Restrictive Covenants, and any other Purchased Assets that Seller determines are not eligible to be reported under the installment method pursuant to Section 453 of the Code.

10

1.13 Further Assurances. The parties hereto shall, with reasonable diligence, do all such things and provide all such reasonable assurances as may be required to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and each party shall provide (at the requesting party’s cost and expense, except as provided in the next sentence) such further documents or instruments required by the requesting party as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to effect the purposes of this Agreement and carry out its provisions, both before and after Closing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller from time to time after the Closing at the reasonable request of Purchaser and without further consideration shall execute and deliver further instruments of transfer and assignment and take such other action as Purchaser may reasonably require to more effectively transfer and assign to, and vest in, Purchaser each of the Purchased Assets. Nothing herein shall be deemed a waiver by Purchaser of its right to receive at the Closing an effective assignment of each of the leases, contracts, commitments, or rights of Seller as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, subject, however, to the consent of any third party whose consent is required.

SECTION 2. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER AND THE MEMBERS.

2.1 Making of Representations and Warranties. As a material inducement to Purchaser to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, Seller and the Members hereby make to Purchaser the representations and warranties contained in this Section 2 as of the date hereof and as of Closing (which representations and warranties shall survive the Closing (subject to Section 9 below) regardless of any examinations, inspections, audits and other investigations Purchaser has heretofore made, or may hereafter make, with respect to such representations and warranties).

11

Material Adverse Effect on the Purchased Assets or financial condition of the Business, or the ability of Seller or any Member to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby; or (h) any diminution in assets under management by the Business for any client to the extent attributable to changes in asset valuation, market price fluctuations or client withdrawals (unless resulting from any fact, circumstance, change or effect otherwise constituting a Material Adverse Effect hereunder).

“Present Client” shall mean, at any particular time, any person or entity which is at such time (i) a current client of Purchaser or its Affiliates with respect to Investment Management Services, (ii) an advisee or investment advisory customer of, or recipient of Investment Management Services from, Purchaser or its Affiliates or (ii) an intermediary with respect to Investment Management Services between Purchaser or its Affiliates and any such person or entity.

“Prospective Client” shall mean, at any particular time, any person or entity to whom Purchaser or its Affiliates, through any of their officers, employees, agents or consultants (or persons acting in any similar capacity), has, within twelve (12) months prior to such time, offered (by means of a personal meeting, telephone call, letter, written proposal or otherwise) (i) to provide Investment Management Services, (ii) to serve as investment adviser or otherwise provide Investment Management Services including, without limitation, any intermediaries between Purchaser or its Affiliates and any such person or entity, but who is not at such time an advisee or investment advisory customer of, or recipient of, Investment Management Services from Purchaser or its Affiliates or an intermediary with respect to

36

Investment Management Services between Purchaser or its Affiliates and any such person or entity. The preceding sentence is meant to exclude blanket mailings and advertising, if any, through mass media in which the offer, if any, is available to the general public, such as magazines, newspapers or sponsorships of public events, in each case to the extent such efforts do not result in a request by the recipient for further information or a presentation.

The covenants in this Section 4.12 and the covenants set forth in Section 4.10 and Section 4.11 are herein referred to as the “Restrictive Covenants.”

(b) Material Inducement; Severability of Covenants. Seller and each Member acknowledges and agrees that their willingness to be bound by the Restrictive Covenants was a material inducement to Purchaser’s willingness to enter into this Agreement, and that Purchaser would not have entered into this Agreement but for Seller’s and each such Member’s willingness to be bound by the Restrictive Covenants. Seller and each Member acknowledges and agrees that each Restrictive Covenant is reasonable and valid in geographical and temporal scope, subject matter and in all other respects, and is necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of Purchaser and its Affiliates. If any court determines the Restrictive Covenants, or any part thereof, are invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the Restrictive Covenants shall not thereby be affected and shall be given full effect, without regard to the invalid portions, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law. If any court determines that any Restrictive Covenant, or any part thereof, is unenforceable because of the duration or geographic scope or subject matter of such provision (or for any other reason), it is the parties’ intention that such court shall have the power to reduce the duration or scope or subject matter of such provision, as the case may be, and, in its reduced form, such provision shall then be enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law.

(c) Relief for Violation. Seller and each Member acknowledges that an irreparable injury will result to Purchaser and its Affiliates in the event of a breach of a Restrictive Covenant. Seller and each Member also acknowledges and agrees that the damages or injuries which Purchaser and its Affiliates may sustain as a result of a breach of the Restrictive Covenants are difficult to ascertain and money damages alone will not be an adequate remedy to Purchaser and its Affiliates. Seller and each Member agrees that in the event of such breach or threatened breach of a Restrictive Covenant, Purchaser and its Affiliates shall also be entitled to obtain any equitable remedy, including any injunctive relief, necessary to prevent or restrain any violation or threatened violation of a Restrictive Covenant, without the necessity of posting a bond. Such relief, however, shall be cumulative and non-exclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedy to which the parties may be entitled.

4.13 Employee Matters.

(a) Any employees who accept Purchaser’s offer of employment pursuant to Section 5.2 below shall be referred to herein as “Transferred Employees.”

(b) Seller shall retain the liability for all claims which are incurred under any employee benefit program, plan or other agreement maintained by the Seller prior to the Closing Date and Purchaser shall have no responsibility or liability for the payment of any benefits relating thereto. More specifically, Seller shall retain liability for (i) all benefits of any kind for

37

former or current employees of Seller, including those who are not Transferred Employees, and their dependents, spouses and beneficiaries, except as provided under Treasury Regulation Section 54.4980B-9, Q&A 8; (ii) incurred but unpaid life insurance claims; (iii) long term disability claims incurred before the Closing Date and not yet reported or claims made and not paid; and (iv) medical and dental claims incurred before the Closing Date and not yet reported or claims made and not yet paid.

(c) Seller and Purchaser shall mutually agree on the timing and content of any notification or discussions with Seller’s employees or any other parties and/or representatives of the employees with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

4.14 Fund Acquisitions/Sub-Advisory Arrangements. Following the date hereof, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to help Purchaser achieve, as Purchaser so requests, either: (1) the reorganization of the Frontegra Core Fund and the Frontegra Core Plus Fund into one or more series of Scout Funds, a Delaware statutory trust which is a multi-series open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act (each such reorganization a “Frontegra Fund Acquisition” and, together the “Frontegra Fund Acquisitions”); or (2) the approval by the Frontegra Funds’ board of directors and by shareholders of each Frontegra Fund of a sub-advisory agreement under which Purchaser would continue to serve as sub-advisor for such Frontegra Fund (each such approval a “Frontegra Fund Sub-Advisory Arrangement” and, together, the “Frontegra Fund Sub-Advisory Arrangements”). In connection therewith, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts: (1) with regard to the Frontegra Fund Acquisitions, to assist Purchaser in negotiating an agreement with the investment adviser to the Frontegra Funds, Frontegra Asset Management, Inc. (“FAM”), relating to the acquisition by Purchaser of FAM’s advisory business relating to the Frontegra Funds and the completion of the related Frontegra Fund Acquisitions; and/or (2) with regard to the Frontegra Fund Sub-Advisory Arrangements, to assist Purchaser in negotiating appropriate sub-advisory agreements with FAM for each Frontegra Fund, and in seeking the related Frontegra Funds board and shareholder approvals necessary to establish the Frontegra Fund Sub-Advisory Arrangements.

4.15 Private Fund. Subject to the terms of Schedule 5.4, Seller agrees that nothing in this Agreement shall prevent Purchaser from segregating any private fund advised by the Transferred Employees into separately managed accounts, or converting such fund to a fund registered under the Investment Company Act.

4.16 Post-Closing Operational Matters. Seller and the Members acknowledge and agree to the terms of Schedule 5.4 attached hereto, and agree to perform their respective obligations thereunder.

4.17 Year-End Bonuses. In December, 2010, Seller shall pay the employees of the Business a bonus for the period of January 1, 2010 through the Closing Date (consistent with the historical practices of the Business for prior years and pursuant to Seller’s normal payroll practices).

5.2 Employees.

(a) Purchaser shall offer employment to all of the employees of Seller, subject to Purchaser’s standard hiring practices (which shall include, among other things, successful completion of a drug screening and FBI background check).

(b) Purchaser shall recognize the existing seniority for benefits purposes of all of Seller’s employees who are hired by Purchaser in connection with the Closing, and shall provide credit under Purchaser’s benefits plans for purposes of determining eligibility and vesting and the rate of benefit accrual (but not actual benefit accrual) for such employees’ past service with Seller from their most recent date of hire or rehire, as the case may be.

Except for those Transferred Employees who are participants in the Incentive Bonus Plan (who shall not be eligible to participate in any other incentive plan of Purchaser or its Affiliates), the Transferred Employees shall be eligible for participation in the incentive programs of Purchaser or its Affiliates which are offered to similarly situated employees of Purchaser. Effective as of the day following the Closing, the Transferred Employees shall also be entitled to immediate participation in all of Purchaser’s employee benefit plans for which they are eligible to participate (including, without limitation, Purchaser’s health care plans), other than the profit sharing plan and the employee stock ownership plan, in which participation shall be entitled at the next available entry dates under such plans.

(d) Any amounts paid by the Transferred Employees towards annual deductibles or out-of-pocket limits under Seller’s health care plans during calendar year 2010 shall be credited towards satisfaction of any corresponding deductibles or out-of-pocket amounts under Purchaser’s health care plans for calendar year 2010.

(e) Transferred Employees shall accrue paid time off under the terms and conditions of Purchaser’s paid time off program (as the same may be modified from time to time); provided, however, that for the portion of the calendar year 2010 on and after the Closing, in no event shall any Transferred Employee receive fewer days of paid time off (on an annualized basis) under such program than the number of days of paid time off such individual would have been entitled to under Seller’s vacation policies as in effect immediately prior to Closing.

39

(f) Purchaser shall make available COBRA continuation coverage for former employees of Seller who do not become Transferred Employees covered under Purchaser’s plans in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 54.4980B-9, Q&A 8(c).

5.6 Amendment of Articles and Bylaws.

(c) So long as the Indemnifying Party is conducting the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 9.4(b) above, (i) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim, (ii) the Indemnified Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (not to be withheld unreasonably), and (iii) the Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be withheld unreasonably). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that an Indemnified Party withholds consent to a judgment or settlement with respect to a Third Party Claim that (A) would not involve a finding or admission of wrongdoing, (B) includes an unconditional written release by the claimant or plaintiff of the Indemnified Party from all liability in respect of such Third Party

48

Claim and (C) does not impose equitable remedies or any obligation on the Indemnified Party other than solely the payment of money damages for which the Indemnified Party will be indemnified hereunder, then the Indemnifying Party shall have no further obligation to defend such Third Party Claim and will not be liable for any amount in excess of the amount it would have owed pursuant to such judgment or settlement.

(d) In the event any of the conditions in Section 9.4(b) above is or becomes unsatisfied, however, (i) the Indemnified Party may defend against the Third Party Claim in any manner it reasonably may deem appropriate, (ii) the Indemnifying Party will reimburse the Indemnified Party promptly and periodically (at least monthly) for the costs of defending against the Third Party Claim (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), and (iii) the Indemnifying Party will remain responsible for any Losses the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Third Party Claim to the fullest extent provided in this Section 9; provided, however, that if the Indemnified Party defends any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, shall not enter into any settlement or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to such Third Party Claim.

(e) In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim against any Indemnifying Party hereunder that does not involve a Third Party Claim being asserted against or sought to be collected from such Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall deliver prompt notice of such claim (a “Direct Claim Notice”) to the Indemnifying Party, but in no event after the expiration of the applicable time period for such claim under Section 9.1. Subject to the time limitations set forth in Section 9.1, the failure to promptly provide such Direct Claim Notice, however, shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Section 9, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure and shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any other obligation or liability that it may have to the Indemnified Party, except as specifically provided in this Section 9. If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party in writing within thirty (30) days following its receipt of such Direct Claim Notice that the Indemnifying Party does not dispute its liability to the Indemnified Party hereunder, such claim specified by the Indemnified Party in such Direct Claim Notice shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party hereunder and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such liability to the Indemnified Party on demand. If the Indemnifying Party agrees in writing that it has an indemnification obligation but asserts that it is obligated to pay a lesser amount than that claimed by the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall pay such lesser amount promptly to the Indemnified Party, without prejudice to or waiver of the Indemnified Party’s claim for the difference. If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party in writing within thirty (30) days following its receipt of such Direct Claim Notice that it disputes such indemnification obligation, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to pursue its indemnification rights hereunder and whatever other legal remedies may be available to enforce its rights under this Section 9.

(f) Upon determination of the amount due with respect any matter which is subject to indemnification under this Section 9 pursuant to either (i) a written agreement between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party or (ii) a final judgment or order of a court of competent jurisdiction, the Indemnifying Party shall, subject to the other terms hereof, pay to the Indemnified Party or the Person entitled thereto, as applicable, the amount owing by the Indemnifying Party with respect to such matter within ten (10) business days thereafter.

49

(g) To the extent that the Indemnifying Party makes or is required to make any indemnification payment to the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to exercise at its expense, and shall be subrogated to, any rights and remedies (including rights of indemnity, rights of contribution and other rights of recovery) that the Indemnified Party may have against any other Person with respect to any Losses to which such indemnification payment is related; provided, however, in the case where the Indemnified Party is a Purchaser Indemnified Party, such right shall not apply with respect to any rights or remedies against such Indemnified Party’s clients or any Member without the prior consent of such Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall permit the Indemnifying Party to use the name of the Indemnified Party and the names of the Indemnified Party’s representatives in any transaction or in any Proceeding or other matter involving any such rights or remedies in such manner as may be approved by the Indemnified Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

9.5 Limitations on Indemnification.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall only be entitled to indemnification under Section 9.2(a)(i) above if the aggregate amount of Losses incurred by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties as a result of such breaches exceed Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) (the “Threshold”), and then only for such aggregate Losses that exceed Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) (the “Basket”); provided, however, that any Losses resulting from (i) any actual fraud on the part of Seller or any Member or (ii) any breach of the Fundamental Representations of Seller and the Members, or Section 2.10(b), shall not be subject to the Threshold or the Basket. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Seller Indemnified Parties shall only be entitled to indemnification under Section 9.3(a) above if the aggregate amount of Losses incurred by the Seller Indemnified Parties as a result of such breaches exceed the Threshold, and then only for such aggregate Losses that exceed the Basket; provided, however, that any Losses resulting from (i) any actual fraud on the part of Purchaser or (ii) any breach of the Fundamental Representations of Purchaser shall not be subject to the Threshold or the Basket.

(b) The maximum amount for which the Purchaser Indemnified Parties may be entitled to indemnification under Section 9.2(a)(i) shall be Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000) (the “Cap”); provided, however, that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to (i) claims for indemnification for breaches of the Fundamental Representations, or (ii) claims made as a result of actual fraud on the part of Seller or any Member. The maximum amount for which the Seller Indemnified Parties may be entitled to indemnification under Section 9.3(a) shall be the amount of the Cap; provided, however, that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to (i) claims for indemnification for breaches of the Fundamental Representations, or (ii) claims made as a result of actual fraud on the part of Purchaser.

(c) The Principal Members’ joint and several liability for any Losses relating to a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2(a) shall not exceed the percentage of such Losses which is equal to the aggregate percentage of the Principal Members’ ownership percentages set forth on the list provided by Seller pursuant to Section 2.4(a), and each other Member’s several liability for any Losses relating to a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2(a) shall not exceed such Member’s pro-rata percentage set forth on such list.

50

(d) Payments to an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 9 shall be limited to the amount of any Losses that remain after deducting therefrom any insurance proceeds received by such Indemnified Party, it being understood that an Indemnified Party will make commercially reasonable efforts to make an insurance claim, if available.

(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, following the recovery of any Losses by Purchaser for a breach of the representation and warranty contained in Section 2.10(b), and Purchaser subsequently collects on the invoice at issue from the defaulting account debtor, then Purchaser shall promptly reimburse Seller for the amount collected.

(f) Any indemnification payments paid under this Section 9 will be considered an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

SECTION 10. TERMINATION.

10.1 Termination of Agreement. The parties may terminate this Agreement prior to the Closing as provided below:

(a) The parties may terminate this Agreement by mutual written consent at any time prior to the Closing;

(b) Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Seller at any time prior to the Closing: (i) in the event Seller or any Member has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained in this Agreement if such breach would give rise to a failure to satisfy a condition to the obligations of Purchaser contained in Section 6.1, Purchaser has notified Seller of the breach in writing, and the breach has continued without cure for a period of thirty (30) days after the notice of breach, or (ii) if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before January 31, 2011 (the “Termination Date”), by reason of the failure of any condition precedent contained in Section 6.1;

(c) Seller may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Purchaser at any time prior to the Closing: (i) in the event Purchaser has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained in this Agreement if such breach would give rise to a failure to satisfy a condition to the obligations of Seller and the Members contained in Section 6.2, Seller has notified Purchaser of the breach in writing, and the breach has continued without cure for a period of thirty (30) days after the notice of breach, or (ii) if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before the Termination Date, by reason of the failure of any condition precedent contained in Section 6.2; and

(d) By either Purchaser or Seller if consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement would violate any provision of applicable Law, or any non-appealable final order, decree or judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction; provided, in the latter case, the party seeking termination under this subsection shall have used commercially reasonable efforts to have such order, decree or judgment vacated.

51

(e) Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated as permitted by Section 10.1, such termination shall be effective as against all parties hereto and without liability of any party (or any stockholder, member, director, manager, officer, employee, agent, consultant or representative of such party) to the other parties of this Agreement and this Agreement shall become null and void except that the parties agree that each shall party remain responsible for its own expenses in connection with the negotiation and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided that any such termination shall not relieve any party from liability for damages for any willful breach of this Agreement.

(f) Effect of Delay. In the event that the Closing has not earlier occurred or this Agreement has not been earlier terminated as permitted by Section 10.1, and on December 31, 2010, (i) all of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 have been fulfilled, (ii) Seller and the Members are willing and able to proceed to Closing, and (iii) Purchaser is nonetheless unwilling or unable to proceed to Closing on such date, then upon any later consummation of the Closing, the amount of the Initial Cash Consideration shall be increased by an amount equal to the Make Whole Amount (or if not then finally determinable, the Make Whole Amount shall be reimbursed to Seller promptly after such amount can be finally determined). The “Make Whole Amount” shall be an amount that will result in Seller and the Members being in the same position after paying Taxes on the Make Whole Amount and the Initial Cash Consideration, respectively, as Seller and the Members would have been after paying Taxes on the Initial Cash Consideration had the Closing occurred on December 31, 2010. In the event that Seller and Purchaser cannot agree on the amount of the Make Whole Amount after good faith efforts to resolve such dispute, then such dispute shall be resolved by the Independent Accountant and such accounting firm’s determination shall be conclusive and binding on both parties.

11.1 Fees and Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each of the parties shall bear its own expenses in connection with the negotiation and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No expenses of Seller or the Members relating in any way to the purchase and sale of the Purchased Assets hereunder and the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, legal, accounting, or other professional expenses of Seller or the Members, shall be charged to or paid by Purchaser or included in any of the Assumed Liabilities.

(iii) Revenue from advisory or sub-advisory services rendered to the Frontegra Core Fund or the Frontegra Core Plus Fund (or any successor funds), to the extent in excess of the revenue that would have been payable to Seller with respect to the sub-advisory services provided to such funds using the fee schedules in effect as of the date of this Agreement; and

(iv) If after the Closing Date, either the Frontegra Core Fund or the Frontegra Core Plus Fund is combined with a Currently Existing Fund, any Revenue attributable to the management of the amount of net assets within the Currently Existing Fund at the time of such combination.

(b) Calculation of Subsequent Payment. (i) Not later than sixty (60) days following the end of each Subsequent Payment Period, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to Seller (A) an unaudited income statement of the Business for such period prepared in accordance with GAAP, and (B) a statement setting forth Purchaser’s calculation of Adjusted Pre-Tax Income for such period.

(ii) Not later than thirty (30) days after delivery of the items to Seller set forth in Subparagraph (b)(i) above, Seller shall present any objections that Seller may have to any of the matters set forth therein, which objections shall be set forth in writing and in reasonable detail, and Seller shall present its own calculation of Adjusted Pre-Tax Income for the Subsequent Payment Period in question. Following the delivery to Purchaser of any objections, Purchaser and Seller shall meet to discuss the objections raised by Seller with a view toward resolving such objections. If Seller does not deliver any written objections to Purchaser within such 30-day period, Seller shall be deemed to have accepted Purchaser’s calculation of Adjusted Pre-Tax Income for such Subsequent Payment Period and irrevocably waived any right to object thereto.

(iii) If Seller delivers such written objections and all such objections are not resolved by Purchaser and Seller within thirty (30) calendar days after delivery to Purchaser of such objections, then such dispute shall be submitted to the Independent Accountant for resolution. The Independent Accountant shall be instructed to deliver a decision within thirty (30) calendar days after the submission of such matters to the Independent Accountant, and to only render a decision with respect to the matters submitted for resolution. The Independent Accountant shall be instructed that its decision shall be in writing and shall include (A) a

1.9-4

statement describing in reasonable detail the decision of the Independent Accountant with respect to each item in dispute submitted to the Independent Accountant, and (B) the Independent Accountant’s computation of Adjusted Pre-Tax Income for the Subsequent Payment Period in question, it being understood that the amount of such Adjusted Pre-Tax Income shall not be (x) less than the amount set forth in the statement delivered by Purchaser pursuant to Paragraph (b)(i), nor (y) more than the amount set forth in Seller’s written objections delivered to Purchaser pursuant to Paragraph (b)(ii). The decision of the Independent Accountant shall be final and binding and conclusive upon Purchaser and Seller for all purposes under this Agreement, absent manifest error. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be shared equally by Purchaser on the one hand, and Seller on the other hand.

(iv) Within ten (10) business days after the final determination of Adjusted Pre-Tax Income for a given Subsequent Payment Period has been made, Purchaser shall pay to Seller a Subsequent Payment equal to the product of (A) the finally determined Adjusted Pre-Tax Income for such Subsequent Payment Period, (B) the Applicable Percentage (as determined below) for such Subsequent Payment Period, and (C) the number ten (10).

(v) For purposes of this Agreement, the “Applicable Percentage” shall be determined as follows:

(A) For the first Subsequent Payment Period, the Applicable Percentage shall be Six Percent (6%).

(B) For the second Subsequent Payment Period, the Applicable Percentage shall be Seven Percent (7%).

(C) For the third Subsequent Payment Period, the Applicable Percentage shall be Eight Percent (8%).

(D) For the fourth Subsequent Payment Period, the Applicable Percentage shall be Nine Percent (9%).

(E) For the fifth Subsequent Payment Period, the Applicable Percentage shall be Ten Percent (10%).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Retention Percentage (as determined pursuant to Section 1.8 of the Agreement) is less than Eighty-Five Percent (85%), then the Applicable Percentages set forth above shall be reduced by the Discount Percentage (as defined below) in the following sequential manner:

(I) First, the Applicable Percentage for the first Subsequent Payment Period shall be subtracted by up to four percent (4%), and then

(II) Second, the Applicable Percentage for the second Subsequent Payment Period shall be subtracted by up to five percent (5%), and then

(III) Third, the Applicable Percentage for the third Subsequent Payment Period shall be subtracted by up to six percent (6%), and then

1.9-5

(IV) Fourth, the Applicable Percentage for the fourth Subsequent Payment Period shall be subtracted by up to seven percent (7%), and then

(V) Fifth, the Applicable Percentage for the fifth Subsequent Payment Period shall be subtracted by up to eight percent (8%), until the sum of the subtractions set forth in subparagraphs (I) through (V) equal the Discount Percentage. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Applicable Percentage for any Subsequent Payment Period ever be less than two percent (2%).

By way of example, if the Discount Percentage (as determined below) were to equal twenty percent (20%), then: the Applicable Percentage for the first Subsequent Payment Period would be subtracted by four percent (4%) (resulting in an Applicable Percentage for the first Subsequent Payment Period of two percent (2%)), and then the Applicable Percentage for the second Subsequent Payment Period would be subtracted by five percent (5%) (resulting in an Applicable Percentage for the second Subsequent Payment Period of two percent (2%)), and then the Applicable Percentage Period for the third Subsequent Payment Period would be subtracted by six percent (6%) (resulting in an Applicable Percentage for the third Subsequent Payment Period of two percent (2%)), and then the Applicable Percentage for the fourth Subsequent Payment Period would be subtracted by five percent (5%) (resulting in an Applicable Percentage for the fourth Subsequent Payment Period of four percent (4%)). In such example, the aggregate subtractions of 4% + 5% + 6% + 5% would equal the Discount Percentage of twenty percent (20%). For purposes of this Agreement, “Discount Percentage” shall mean the difference by which the Retention Percentage is less than Eighty-Five Percent (85%), multiplied by two (2), but in no event shall the Discount Percentage be more than thirty percent (30%).

(c) Limitation. Notwithstanding any language to the contrary contained herein, in the event that the Retention Percentage is less than Sixty Percent (60%), Seller shall not be entitled to receive any Subsequent Payment for any Subsequent Payment Period unless the finally determined Adjusted Pre-Tax Income for such Subsequent Payment Period is equal to or greater than Four Million Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($4,200,000).

WHEREAS, the execution and delivery of this Agreement is a condition precedent to closing (the “Closing”) under that certain Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) dated as of                     , 2010 by and among the Company, Reams Asset Management Company, LLC, an Indiana limited liability company (“Reams LLC”), and certain other parties thereto; and

WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire that Employee be employed by the Company upon the terms and conditions provided for herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises and conditions contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows:

1. Employment. Upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement, effective as of the Closing and thereafter during the Term (as defined in Paragraph 12 below), the Company agrees to employ Employee and Employee agrees to be employed by the Company in the position(s) set forth on the Key Employment Terms Schedule which is attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by reference (“Key Employment Terms Schedule”).

2. Compensation. The Company will pay Employee an annual base salary in an amount not less than the amount set forth on the Key Employment Terms Schedule, as such amount may be increased (but not decreased) from time to time. Employee shall be considered for a reasonable increase in annual base salary in the normal course of business at the time that all employees of the Reams Division (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) of the Company are so considered. The annual base salary will accrue and be payable in arrears in accordance with the Company’s general payroll practices. All payments made and benefits provided by the Company to Employee under this Agreement are subject to any applicable withholding and other applicable taxes.

3. Employee Benefits; Expenses; Incentive Bonus Plan.

(a) Employee will be eligible for additional benefits, if any, by way of health insurance, life insurance, 401(k) plan and vacations normally provided to employees of the Company generally, pursuant to the terms of those plans, programs and policies of the Company in effect during Employee’s employment by the Company, and such additional benefits as may be from time to time agreed upon in writing between Employee and the Company. The Company will reimburse Employee for all ordinary and necessary out-of-pocket expenses incurred and paid by Employee in the course of the performance of Employee’s duties pursuant to this Agreement that conform to the Company’s policies (or amended policies) with respect to travel, entertainment and other business expenses, and subject to the Company’s procedures regarding approval and reporting of those expenses.

(b) During the Term, Employee shall be eligible to participate in the Scout Investment Advisors, Inc. (Reams) Incentive Bonus Plan (the “Incentive Bonus Plan”), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B and incorporated herein by reference. Notwithstanding any language to the contrary contained herein, Employee shall not be eligible to participate in any other incentive bonus plan of the Company, Parent or their respective affiliates, including, without limitation, the UMB Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan or the UMB Short-Term Incentive Plan.

4. Duties. Throughout the Term, Employee shall have duties, authority, responsibilities and reporting relationship(s) no less favorable to Employee than those set forth on the Key Employment Terms Schedule. So long as Employee is employed under this Agreement, Employee will (i) devote all of Employee’s business time to perform such duties set forth on the Key Employment Terms Schedule, (ii) perform Employee’s responsibilities in a manner satisfactory to and subject to the direction and control of the person to whom Employee is reporting as set forth on the Key Employment Terms Schedule, (iii) comply with all lawful rules, orders, regulations, policies and practices, including, without limitation, all codes of ethics and codes of conduct and policies of UMB Financial Corporation, the Company, or any of their respective affiliates, as are applicable to Employee and similarly situated employees (collectively, the “Policies and Procedures”), and (iv) truthfully and accurately maintain and preserve the Company’s records consistent with the Company’s practices and procedures (as they may be reasonably updated or amended) and make all reports reasonably required by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee may manage his personal investments, act or continue to act as a member of civic, charitable or corporate boards set forth on Exhibit C, act as a manager or member of Reams LLC, in each case to the extent such activities do not violate Employee’s other obligations under this Agreement, the Policies and Procedures, the Purchase Agreement, or raise conflicts of interest. During the Term, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid the relocation of Employee from his present job location set forth on the Key Employment Terms Schedule, without the prior approval of Reams Senior Management (as such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement).

5. Clients and Business of the Company.

In addition, Employee acknowledges and agrees that the investment performance of the accounts managed by the Company is attributable to the efforts of the team of professionals at the Company and not to the efforts of any single individual, and that therefore, the performance records of the accounts managed by the Company are and shall be the exclusive property of the Company and not of the team or of any single professional.

(b) Employee agrees that all clients for whom Employee or others at the Company perform services while at the Company shall be considered clients of the Company, and shall not be

2

considered clients of Employee. All prospective clients with whom Employee has business dealings during Employee’s employment with the Company shall be considered prospective clients of the Company, and shall not be considered prospective clients of Employee.

6. Disclosure and Assignment of Intellectual Property.

(a) All patents, trademarks, service marks, copyrights, trade secrets and other intellectual property rights (“Intellectual Property”) relating in any way to the business of the Company or its affiliates that Employee (either alone or in conjunction with others) conceived, made, obtained or developed during the term of Employee’s employment with the Company or conceive, make or obtain during the term of Employee’s employment (whether during or outside of working hours) with the Company (collectively, “the Company IP”) is the sole and exclusive property of the Company and shall be considered a “work made for hire.” The Company IP belongs to the Company whether or not patent, trademark, copyright and/or other intellectual property right applications are or can be filed thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the Company IP does not constitute a work made for hire under applicable law, Employee hereby assigns and transfers to the Company all right, title and interest in and to the Company IP, including, without limitation, any and all copyright, trademark, service mark, patent or other intellectual property rights and goodwill inherent therein or related thereto.

(b) Employee will make full and prompt disclosure to the Company of all Intellectual Property and Company IP, and at the Company’s request and expense (but without additional compensation to Employee), will at any time and from time to time during and after Employee’s employment with the Company execute and deliver to the Company such applications, assignments and other papers and take such other actions (including, but not limited to, testifying in any legal proceedings) as the Company, in its sole discretion, considers necessary to vest, perfect, defend or maintain the Company’s rights in and to the Company IP. Employee has attached to this Agreement a complete list of Intellectual Property, if any, conceived, made, obtained or developed by Employee (either alone or in conjunction with others) on or prior to the date hereof, and to the extent that such Intellectual Property does not also constitute the Company IP, such Intellectual Property is excluded from the undertakings in this Agreement.

7. Covenant Not to Disclose Confidential Information.

(a) The Company, in the course of performing its business activities, (i) acquires and develops trade secrets and confidential and proprietary information which is not generally known in the industry, and (ii) acquires trade secrets and confidential and proprietary information of or about the Company’s affiliates, customers, vendors, business partners, licensors, suppliers and other companies, persons or entities with which the Company maintains or has maintained a business relationship (hereinafter collectively, “the Company Business Relationships”).

(b) Employee recognizes that the knowledge and information acquired by Employee concerning the following information of the Company and of the Company Business Relationships: corporate information, including, but not limited to, business plans and methods, trade secrets, products, services, financial affairs, formulae, technology, know-how, contracts, pricing lists, costs, policies, sales methods, financial information, profits, expenses, operations, operating methods and procedures, blueprints, drawings, processes, statistics, suppliers, marketing data, strategic information,

Employee recognizes that such Confidential Information would not be provided to Employee by the Company in the absence of this signed Agreement because of the risks that valuable Confidential Information might otherwise be divulged and thereby damage the Company’s competitive position in the marketplace, damage the Company’s relationship with the Company Business Relationships, or otherwise cause damage to the Company Business Relationships.

(c) Employee agrees that Employee will not, during or after Employee’s employment or other affiliation with the Company, (i) disclose, in whole or in part, any Confidential Information to any person, firm, corporation, association or other entity for any reason or purpose whatsoever unless authorized in writing to do so by the Company, or (ii) use any Confidential Information for Employee’s own purpose or for the benefit of any person, firm, corporation, association or other entity other than the Company, except in the proper performance of Employee’s duties as instructed by the Company. Upon the cessation of Employee’s employment with the Company, the restrictions set forth in this paragraph will not apply to Confidential Information which is then in the public domain (unless Employee is responsible, directly or indirectly, for such Confidential Information entering the public domain without the Company’s consent).

(d) If Employee is requested, pursuant to, or required by applicable law or regulation, or by legal process, to disclose any Confidential Information or Company Intellectual Property, Employee will use Employee’s best efforts to promptly notify the Company of this request and enable the Company or any subsidiary, parent or affiliate of the Company to seek an appropriate protective order at the Company’s sole cost and expense. If a protective order or other protective remedy is not obtained, Employee may furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information or Company Intellectual Property that is legally required, in the opinion of Employee’s counsel, and will exercise Employee’s best efforts to obtain reliable assurances that confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information or Company Intellectual Property; provided, however, that the Company shall bear the cost and expense of obtaining such confidential treatment.

8. Non-Disparagement. So long as Employee is an employee of the Company and thereafter (including after the termination of Employee’s employment), Employee will not make any disparaging comment in any format, whether written, electronic or oral, to any client, customer, account, supplier, service provider, agency, employee or the media regarding the Company (or any subsidiary, parent or affiliate of the Company) or otherwise relating to the business of the Company (or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company). Similarly, the Company will not, and will cause its subsidiaries, parents and affiliates to not, make any disparaging comment in any format, written, electronic or oral, to any client, customer, account, supplier, service provider, agency, employee or the media regarding Employee. Nothing in this paragraph 8 shall preclude truthful statements made pursuant to subpoena or as otherwise required by law.

4

9. Covenant Not to Compete. Employee agrees that during the Term and (except as otherwise set forth herein) for a period of twenty-four (24) months thereafter (hereinafter, “the Non-Competition Period”), Employee shall not, directly or indirectly render services to, become affiliated with or employed by, own, or have a financial or other interest in (either as an individual, partner, joint venturer, owner, manager, stockholder, employee, partner, officer, director, independent contractor, or other such role) any business which is engaged in Investment Management Services (as defined in Paragraph 11) (except nothing herein shall prohibit Employee from owning less than 5% of the outstanding shares in a publicly traded corporation).

10. Non-Solicitation. Except in the performance of his duties hereunder on behalf of the Company, Employee agrees that during the Term and (except as otherwise set forth herein) for a period of twenty-four (24) months thereafter (hereinafter, “the Non-Solicitation Period”), Employee shall not, directly or indirectly:

(b) Notwithstanding Paragraph 12(a) of this Agreement, Employee’s employment by the Company and the Term will terminate immediately upon the death or disability of Employee. For purposes of this Agreement, Employee will be deemed to be disabled when Employee has become unable, by reason of physical or mental disability, to satisfactorily perform Employee’s essential job duties and there is no reasonable accommodation that can be provided to enable Employee to be a qualified individual with a disability under applicable law.

(c) Notwithstanding Paragraph 12(a) of this Agreement, the Company may terminate Employee's employment and the Term at any time for Cause or without Cause, and Employee may terminate his employment and the Term at any time with or without Good Reason. “Cause” means (i) Employee has failed to perform his obligations under this Agreement or to observe and abide by the Policies and Procedures; (ii) Employee has refused to comply with reasonable, specific and lawful directions of Employee's supervisor or other superior; (iii) Employee has engaged in acts or omissions or other misconduct against the Company, including, without limitation, breaches of fiduciary duty, malfeasance, intentional wrongdoing or dishonest or fraudulent acts, that materially injure the Company's business, reputation or operations; (iv) Employee has been convicted of, or has entered a plea of nolo contendere to, any crime involving the theft or willful destruction of money or other property, any crime involving moral turpitude or fraud, or any crime constituting a felony; or (v) Employee has engaged in the use of alcohol or drugs on the job, or has engaged in excessive absenteeism from the performance of Employee's duties as the Company's employee, other than for reasons of illness; provided, however, that no termination for Cause will be made for the reasons set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above, unless (A) the Company has given Employee thirty (30) days’ written notice of the reason or circumstances providing a basis for the termination, (B) Employee has had an opportunity during such period to cure the reason or circumstance (if it is capable of being cured), and (C) the reason or circumstance remains uncured after such period, and provided further, that if such reason or circumstance remains uncured after such period but Employee has diligently attempted to cure such reason or circumstance during such period and has provided reasonable evidence that such reason or circumstance will be cured within a reasonable period following the expiration of such period, Employee will be deemed to have cured such reason or circumstance for purposes of this Paragraph 12(c).

(d) If (i) the Company terminates Employee's employment with the Company for Cause or Employee’s employment terminates as a result of death or disability or (ii) Employee terminates Employee's employment with the Company without Good Reason, the Company will pay or provide to Employee:

(A) such salary as Employee has earned up to the date of Employee's termination (“Earned Salary”); and

(B) the other benefits and other amounts due Employee under Paragraph 3(a) of this Agreement or as otherwise required by applicable law, as Employee has earned up to the date of Employee's termination. Additionally, in the event that a payment has been awarded to Employee under the Incentive Bonus Plan, but prior to payment, Employee’s employment terminates as a result of death or disability, such payment shall nonetheless be made to Employee or his estate (as applicable). Employee shall not otherwise be entitled to any payments under the Incentive Bonus Plan in connection with any termination of his employment contemplated by this Paragraph 12(d).

(e) If, during the Term referred to in Paragraph 12(a), Employee terminates this Agreement for Good Reason, or the Company terminates Employee's employment with the Company without Cause, and Employee executes a written release of all claims against the Company with respect to Employee’s employment and this Agreement, in a form to be prepared by the Company, and

7

Employee is not in violation of his obligations under this Agreement and/or the release agreement, then the Company will pay to Employee the amounts described below. “Good Reason” means that, without Employee’s written consent, one or more of the following events occurred after the date hereof: (i) the Company or Parent materially breaches this Agreement; or (ii) the Company assigns Employee duties that are not materially consistent with, and are materially adverse as compared to, the job duties described in the Key Employment Terms Schedule; provided, however, that no termination for Good Reason will be made for the reasons set forth above unless (A) Employee has given the Company and Parent thirty (30) days’ written notice of the reason or circumstances providing a basis for the termination, (B) the Company and/or Parent has had an opportunity during such period to cure the reason or circumstance (if it is capable of being cured), and (C) the reason or circumstance remains uncured after such period, and provided, further, that if such reason or circumstance remains uncured after such period but the Company and/or Parent has diligently attempted to cure such reason or circumstance during such period and has provided reasonable evidence that such reason or circumstance will be cured within a reasonable period following the expiration of such period, the Company and/or Parent will be deemed to have cured such reason or circumstance for purposes of this Paragraph 12(e).

Subject to the foregoing, if Employee’s employment is terminated without Cause, or if Employee quits for Good Reason during the Term, the Company shall pay to Employee:

(A) Employee’s Earned Salary; and

(B) an amount equal to Employee’s base salary as of the date of termination, on an ongoing basis, for an additional twelve (12) months following the date of termination; and

(C) an amount paid out of the Incentive Bonus Plan equal to (1) the Reference Bonus set forth on the Key Employment Terms Schedule if termination occurs before bonuses are determined under the Incentive Bonus Plan for the first plan year, or (2) if the date of termination is after such bonuses have been determined, an amount equal to the bonus earned by Employee under the Incentive Bonus Plan for the plan year immediately preceding the plan year during which such termination occurs; and

(D) such other benefits and other amounts due Employee under Paragraph 3(a) of this Agreement or as otherwise required by applicable law, as Employee has earned up to the date of Employee’s termination.

The base salary continuation described in (B) above shall be paid on the regular payroll dates during such period and the bonus amount described in (C) shall be paid in a single lump sum at the time such bonus would have been paid under the Incentive Bonus Plan if Employee’s employment had not terminated. For the avoidance of doubt, Employee shall not be entitled to any payments under the Incentive Bonus Plan in connection with any termination of his employment contemplated by this Paragraph 12(e) except as set forth in (C) above.

It is the intention of the parties that payments or benefits payable under this Agreement shall not be subject to the additional tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, and the provisions of this Agreement shall be construed and administered in accordance with such intent, including, where applicable, application of a six month delay in payment of any amounts

8

determined to be deferred compensation applicable on termination of a specified employee under Section 409A. To the extent such potential payments or benefits could become subject to Internal Revenue Code Section 409A, the parties shall cooperate to amend this Agreement with the goal of giving Employee the economic benefits described herein in a manner that does not result in such tax being imposed. If the parties are unable to agree on a mutually acceptable amendment, the Company may, in such manner as it deems reasonably necessary, amend or modify this Agreement or delay the payment of any amounts hereunder to the minimum extent necessary to meet the requirements of Internal Revenue Code Section 409A while providing Employee with all benefits to which he is entitled under this Agreement.

13. Cooperation Regarding Litigation. During and after Employee’s employment, Employee shall cooperate fully with the Company in the defense or prosecution of any claims or actions now in existence or which may be brought in the future against or on behalf of the Company which relate to events or occurrences that transpired while Employee was employed by the Company. Employee’s full cooperation in connection with such claims or actions shall include, but not be limited to, being available to meet with counsel to prepare for discovery or trial and to act as a witness on behalf of the Company at mutually convenient times. During and after Employee's employment, Employee also shall cooperate fully with the Company in connection with any investigation or review of any federal, state or local regulatory authority as any such investigation or review relates to events or occurrences that transpired while Employee was employed by the Company. The Company will reimburse Employee for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (excluding attorneys’ fees unless otherwise agreed to by the Company and/or its insurance carrier if any).

14. The Company’s Documents and Other Information.

(a) Employee will not remove any records, documents or advertising, including client names and addresses or information from Employee’s work premises either in an original form or in duplicated or copied form, or transmit any facts contained in the records, except in the ordinary course of business for the Company.

(b) Upon the cessation of Employee’s employment with the Company or at any other time upon request of the Company, Employee shall deliver to the Company any and all property of the Company or its affiliates (including, but not limited to, keys and credit cards), documents (including, but not limited to, the Company information and documents stored on Employee’s computer, including any documents, files, reports or other information received or made by Employee in connection with Employee’s employment with the Company, regardless of whether or not such information is Company Confidential Information) and equipment (including, but not limited to, cell phones, PDAs and computer equipment).

15. Subsequent Affiliation or Employment and Enforcement.

(a) Advising the Company of New Affiliation or Employment. In the event of a cessation of Employee’s employment with the Company, and during the Non-Solicitation and Non-Competition Periods described above, Employee agrees to disclose to the Company the name and address of any new business affiliation or employer within thirty (30) days of Employee’s commencing such new relationship.

9

(b) Employee's Ability to Earn Livelihood. Employee acknowledges that, in the event of a cessation of Employee's employment with the Company, for any reason and at any time, Employee will be able to earn a livelihood without violating the provisions of this Agreement. Employee's acknowledgment regarding Employee's ability to earn a livelihood without violating the provisions of this Agreement is a material condition of Employee's employment with the Company. Employee and the Company acknowledge that Employee's rights have been limited by this Agreement only to the extent reasonably necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the Company.

(c) Enforcement. Employee agrees that if Employee violates the covenants and agreements set forth above, the Company would suffer irreparable harm, and that such harm to the Company may be impossible to measure in monetary damages. Accordingly, in addition to any other remedies which the Company may have at law or in equity, the Company shall have the right to have all obligations, undertakings, agreements, covenants and other provisions of this Agreement specifically performed by Employee, and the Company shall have the right to obtain preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to secure specific performance, and to prevent a breach or contemplated breach of this Agreement, without the necessity of posting a bond. In the event the Company or Employee is required to enforce the terms of this Agreement through court proceedings, then the substantially prevailing party shall be entitled to reimbursement for reasonable legal fees, costs and expenses incident to such enforcement.

16. No Conflict. Employee represents and warrants to the Company that neither the execution nor delivery of this Agreement, nor the performance of Employee's obligations under this Agreement will conflict with, or result in a breach of, any term, condition, or provision of, or constitute a default under, any obligation, contract, agreement, covenant or instrument to which Employee is a party or under which Employee is bound, including, without limitation, the breach by Employee of a fiduciary duty to any former employers.

17. Harassment Policy. Employee acknowledges that Employee has been provided a copy of the Company's policy against discrimination and harassment in the workplace, which includes complaint reporting procedures. Employee will comply with this policy and will affirmatively support the Company's commitment to an equal opportunity work environment free from illegal harassment or discrimination. The Company will promptly provide Employee with all new or updated policies.

18. Waiver. Neither the failure nor delay of either party to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver of any such right or remedy or constitute an excuse for any subsequent breach of this Agreement.

19. Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement and the Purchase Agreement represent the entire understanding and agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, and supersede all prior negotiations, agreements, discussions and proposals, both oral and written, between Employee and the Company with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in the preceding sentence shall limit or impair Employee’s obligation to comply with the Policies and Procedures. No default by any party under this Agreement shall automatically constitute a default under the Purchase Agreement, nor vice-versa. However, nothing herein shall limit or impair the obligations of Employee and the Company to comply with their respective obligations under the Purchase Agreement. This Agreement may not be amended or modified, and no waiver hereunder shall be valid or binding, unless set forth in writing, duly executed by the party against whom enforcement of the amendment, modification or waiver is sought.

10

20. Potential Unenforceability of any Provision. If a final judicial determination is made that any provision of this Agreement is an unenforceable restriction against Employee, the provisions of this Agreement will be rendered void only to the extent that a judicial determination finds the provisions unenforceable, and the unenforceable provisions will automatically be reconstituted and become a part of this Agreement, effective as of the date of this Agreement, to the maximum extent in order to give effect to the parties' intent that is lawfully enforceable and to give effect to the parties' intent. A judicial determination that any provision of this Agreement is unenforceable will not render the entire Agreement unenforceable, but rather this Agreement will continue in full force and effect absent any unenforceable provision to the maximum extent permitted by law.

21. Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only, and shall not be deemed to be a part of this Agreement for any purposes, and shall not in any way define or affect the meaning, construction or scope of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

22. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed under and governed by the internal laws of the State of Missouri without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. The parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts of the State of Missouri in connection with any action arising out of or relating to this Agreement, and irrevocably and unconditionally waive the defense of an inconvenient forum. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION (WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT.

23. Notice. Any notice, request, demand, or other communication required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given (a) if personally delivered, upon receipt, (b) if sent via overnight delivery by a nationally recognized delivery service, upon the next business day, or (c) if sent by registered or certified mail, upon the sooner of the date on which receipt is acknowledged or the expiration of three days after deposit in United States post office facilities properly addressed with postage prepaid. All notices to a party shall be sent to the addresses set forth below or to such other address or person as such party may designate by notice to each other party hereunder:

Except as provided in clause (i) below, the provisions of this Agreement shall continue to apply to Employee's employment with the Company during the Extension Term (if any).

(i) If Employee’s employment is terminated without Cause during the Extension Term, if Employee quits for Good Reason during the Extension Term, or if Employee remains employed as of the last day of the Extension Term, then the Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Periods set forth in Sections 9 and 10 hereof shall end twelve (12) months after the date of Employee’s termination (as opposed to twenty-four (24) months). If Employee’s employment is terminated with Cause during the Extension Term, or if Employee quits without Good Reason during the Extension Term, then the Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Periods set forth in Sections 9 and 10 hereof shall end on the seventh anniversary of the Closing (as opposed to twenty-four (24) months after the date of Employee’s termination).

32. Definitions. The term “affiliate” as used in this Agreement shall have the same meaning as the term “Affiliate” set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

CONFIDENTIALITY AND NON-SOLICITATION AGREEMENT

THIS CONFIDENTIALITY AND NON-SOLICITATION AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is entered into by and between Scout Investment Advisors, Inc. (the “Company”), and                      (hereinafter, “you” or “your”).

In consideration of (a) your employment with the Company; (b) the Company’s willingness to provide you with valuable opportunities, compensation and/or benefits; (c) the expense, time and effort involved in providing you with specialized and unique training; (d) the access the Company is providing you to certain trade secrets, and confidential and proprietary information related to the business of the Company; and (e) other consideration,

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Employment.

You desire to be employed by the Company and you acknowledge that such employment is conditioned upon your execution of this Agreement. Upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Company agrees to employ you in such capacity, with such duties and compensation as may be determined by the Company, and as amended from time to time. During the entire period that you are employed by the Company, you agree to devote your best efforts to advance the interests of the Company.

Your status is as an at-will employee, and the Company is not obligated by this Agreement or by separate arrangements to continue your employment for any particular time period or under any specific terms or conditions. You acknowledge and agree that although this Agreement is ancillary to your employment with the Company, the terms and conditions of your employment (except as it relates to the subject matter of this Agreement) are separate from and form no part of this Agreement. The termination of your employment, however, by either you or the Company, shall not terminate, modify or change your post-employment obligations under this Agreement.

You will conduct your duties and activities in accordance with the rules and regulations of any governmental or self-regulatory organization having authority over your duties and activities, and you shall not conduct or solicit transactions or receive funds with respect thereto until you are properly licensed and registered.

You represent and warrant to the Company that you have furnished the Company with copies of any and all agreements, documents or instruments, if any, to which you are a party or by which you are bound that may restrict you in the performance of your duties and activities for the Company. You agree not to divulge to the Company any information which would violate any such agreements, documents or instruments, nor to divulge to the Company any trade secrets, or confidential or proprietary information of your prior business affiliations or employers. You represent and warrant to the Company that the performance of your duties and activities for the Company will not breach the terms of any agreements, documents, or instruments to which you are a party or by which you are bound.

2. Clients and Business of the Company.

(a) You agree that any and all presently existing investment advisory businesses of the Company and its affiliates, and all businesses developed by the Company and its affiliates (including by you or any other employee or agent of the Company or its affiliates), including, without limitation, all investment methodologies, all investment advisory contracts, fees and fee schedules, commissions, records, data, client lists, agreements, trade secrets, and any other incident of any business developed by the Company or its affiliates or handled or carried on by you for the Company or its affiliates, and all trade names, service marks and logos under which the Company or its affiliates do business, and any combinations or variations thereof and all related logos, are and shall be the exclusive property of the Company or such affiliate, as applicable, for its or their sole use. In addition, you acknowledge and agree that the investment performance of the accounts managed by the Company is attributable to the efforts of the team of professionals at the Company and not to the efforts of any single individual, and that therefore, the performance records of the accounts managed by the Company are and shall be the exclusive property of the Company and not of the team or of any single professional.

(b) You agree that all clients for whom you or others at the Company perform services while at the Company shall be considered clients of the Company, and shall not be considered clients of yours. All prospective clients with whom you have business dealings during your employment with the Company shall be considered prospective clients of the Company, and shall not be considered prospective clients of yours.

3. Non-Disclosure of Confidential Information.

The Company, in the course of performing its business activities, (a) acquires and develops trade secrets and confidential and proprietary information which is not generally known in the industry, and (b) acquires trade secrets

and confidential and proprietary information of or about the Company’s affiliates, customers, vendors, business partners, licensors, suppliers and other companies, persons or entities with which the Company maintains or has maintained a business relationship (hereinafter collectively, “the Company Business Relationships”).

You recognize that the knowledge and information acquired by you concerning the following information of the Company and of the Company Business Relationships: corporate information, including, but not limited to, business plans and methods, trade secrets, products, services, financial affairs, formulae, technology, know-how, contracts, pricing lists, costs, policies, sales methods, financial information, profits, expenses, operations, operating methods and procedures, blueprints, drawings, processes, statistics, suppliers, marketing data, strategic information, sales and plans for future developments, methods, reports, plans, strategies and efforts, customers, customer lists, customer requirements and information, prospective customers, customer files, proposals and communications with customers and prospective customers, fees, information regarding meeting attendees, employee lists and information, financial and other record systems, records, applications, computers, computer programs, system documentation, hardware, software and information contained therein, marketing and expansion plans, technologies, development, projects, forms and other trade secrets, inventions designs, know-how, any facts concerning the systems, methods, procedures or plans developed or used by the Company or the Company Business Relationships or other private, confidential or proprietary information of or about the Company or the Company Business Relationships which is not already available to the public (collectively, “Confidential Information”) are valuable, special and unique aspects of the business of the Company and the Company Business Relationships. You recognize that such Confidential Information would not be provided to you by the Company in the absence of this signed Agreement because of the risks that valuable Confidential Information might otherwise be divulged and thereby damage the Company’s competitive position in the marketplace, damage the Company’s relationship with the Company Business Relationships, or otherwise cause damage to the Company Business Relationships.

You agree that you will not, during or after your employment or other affiliation with the Company, (i) disclose, in whole or in part, any Confidential Information to any person, firm, corporation, association or other entity for any reason or purpose whatsoever unless authorized in writing to do so by the Company, or (ii) use any Confidential Information for your own purpose or for the benefit of any person, firm, corporation, association or other entity other than the Company, except in the proper performance of your duties as instructed by the Company. Upon the cessation of your employment with the Company, the restrictions set forth in this paragraph will not apply to Confidential Information which is then in the public domain (unless you are responsible, directly or indirectly, for such Confidential Information entering the public domain without the Company’s consent).

4. Intellectual Property. All patents, trademarks, service marks, copyrights, trade secrets and other intellectual property rights (“Intellectual Property”) relating in any way to the business of the Company or its affiliates that you (either alone or in conjunction with others) conceived, made, obtained or developed during the term of your employment with the Company or conceive, make or obtain during the term of your employment (whether during or outside of working hours) with the Company (collectively, “the Company IP”), is the sole and exclusive property of the Company and shall be considered a “work made for hire.” The Company IP belongs to the Company whether or not patent, trademark, copyright and/or other intellectual property right applications are or can be filed thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the Company IP does not constitute a work made for hire under applicable law, you hereby assign and transfer to the Company all right, title and interest in and to the Company IP, including, without limitation, any and all copyright, trademark, service mark, patent or other intellectual property rights and goodwill inherent therein or related thereto.

You will make full and prompt disclosure to the Company of all Intellectual Property and Company IP, and at the Company’s request and expense (but without additional compensation to you), will at any time and from time to time during and after your employment with the Company execute and deliver to the Company such applications, assignments and other papers and take such other actions (including, but not limited to, testifying in any legal proceedings) as the Company, in its sole discretion, considers necessary to vest, perfect, defend or maintain the Company’s rights in and to the Company IP. You have attached to this Agreement a complete list of Intellectual Property, if any, conceived, made, obtained or developed by you (either alone or in conjunction with others) on or prior to the date hereof, and to the extent that such Intellectual Property does not also constitute the Company IP, such Intellectual Property is excluded from the undertakings in this Agreement.

If you are requested, pursuant to, or required by applicable law or regulation, or by legal process, to disclose any Confidential Information or Company Intellectual Property, you will use your best efforts to promptly notify the Company of this request and enable the Company or any subsidiary, parent or affiliate of the Company to seek an appropriate protective order at the Company's sole cost and expense. If a protective order or other protective remedy is not obtained, you may furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information or Company Intellectual Property that

-2-

is legally required, in the opinion of your counsel, and will exercise your best efforts to obtain reliable assurances that confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information or Company Intellectual Property; provided, however, that the Company shall bear the cost and expense of obtaining such confidential treatment.

5. Non-Solicitation.

You agree that during the term of your employment relationship with the Company and for a period of twelve (12) months after the cessation of such employment (hereinafter, “the Non-Solicitation Period”), you shall not, directly or indirectly, except in the performance of your duties on behalf of the Company:

(a) become employed by or affiliated with any Past Client, Present Client or Prospective Client of the Company or its affiliate (as the terms are defined in paragraph 6 or 11) in a role which provides Investment Management Services (as defined in paragraph 6);

(b) provide Investment Management Services to any person or entity that is a Past Client, Present Client or Prospective Client of the Company or its affiliates;

(c) solicit or induce any person or entity with the effect or for the purpose (which need not be the sole or primary effect or purpose) of: (1) causing any funds with respect to which the Company or its affiliates provides Investment Management Services to be withdrawn from such management, (2) causing any Present Client or Prospective Client of the Company to refrain from engaging the Company or any of its affiliates to provide Investment Management Services for any funds or any additional funds, or (3) causing any Present Client to terminate or diminish its relationship involving Investment Management Services with the Company or its affiliates;

(e) (i) induce, offer, assist, solicit, encourage or suggest, in any manner whatsoever, (1) that you or another business or enterprise offer employment to or enter into a business affiliation with any employee, agent or representative of the Company or its affiliates, or (2) that any employee, agent or representative of the Company or its affiliates terminate his or her employment or business affiliation with the Company or its affiliates; or (ii) hire, employ or contract with any employee, agent or representative of the Company or its affiliates.

The preceding sentence is meant to exclude blanket mailings and advertising, if any, through mass media in which the offer, if any, is available to the general public, such as magazines, newspapers or sponsorships of public events, in each case to the extent such efforts do not result in a request by the recipient for further information or a presentation.
