The Notes are issuable only as registered Notes without coupons in denominations set from time to time by the authorized Officers of the Company of the Board of Directors. The holder of this Note may elect either: (i) to have interest on the Principal Amount compound on each anniversary of the Issue Date until paid in full on the Maturity Date; (ii) to receive the Interest Payment in cash annually on the anniversary of the Issue Date; or (iii) if the original Principal Amount of this Note exceeds ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00), in return for one-half of one percent (.5%) reduction in the Interest Rate, to receive one-twelfth (1/12) of the Interest Payment

 


in cash monthly. Interest payable for any month or portion of a month will be computed on the basis of the number of days elapsed in a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

Annual Interest Payments will be made no later than the anniversary of the Issue Date. Each monthly Interest Payment installment or portion thereof, will be made no later than the last day of each month. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may elect in its sole and absolute discretion to make any interest payment prior to the date it becomes due without penalty or premium of any kind. If the term of this Note is not automatically renewed as provided below, payment of the Principal Amount and any earned but unpaid interest will be made no later than the Maturity Date. At the election of the Company, such payments may be deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the holder of this Note at the address appearing upon the Note register maintained by the Registrar at the close of business ten (10) days prior to such payment date. Payment of the principal of and interest on this Note will be made at the office of the Paying Agent in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. In the event that any date on which principal of or interest on this Note is payable is a Saturday or Sunday or day that is a legal holiday in the city of Kansas City, Missouri or the state of Missouri (a “Legal Holiday”), then such payment will be made on the next succeeding day which is not a Legal Holiday, without any interest or other payment in respect of such delay, with the same effect as if made on the date the payment was originally payable.

This Note will automatically renew for additional terms, each equal in length to the original term, unless the registered holder has requested payment in writing on or prior to the twentieth (20th) day after a Maturity Date or unless the Company determines not to renew this Note. Interest for the term of each renewal will accrue at the rate offered at the time of renewal

 


by the Company on newly issued Notes of like denomination and maturity. This Note may not be extended or refunded.

All or any portion of this Note is subject to redemption at any time, upon notice as provided in the Indenture, at the election of the Company, at 100% of the principal amount so called for redemption, together with interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption, payable on the surrender of the Note for redemption. Notes, or portions thereof, for which redemption and payment provision is made in accordance with the Indenture will cease to bear interest from and after the date fixed for redemption. If this Note is redeemed in part only, a new Note for the portion not redeemed will be issued in the name of the holder on the cancellation of this Note.

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Investment notes of the Company (the “Notes”) issued under and subject in all respects to the terms of a Second Amended and Restated Indenture dated as of December 29, 2009 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee (the “Trustee”). Reference is hereby made to the Indenture and all supplemental indentures for a statement of the respective rights of the Company, the Trustee, the agents of the Company and the Trustee and the holders of the Notes. All capitalized terms used, but not defined, in this Note have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note in the manner herein prescribed.

As provided in the Indenture, this Note is transferable only on the Note register maintained by the Registrar, upon surrender of this Note for transfer at the office of the Registrar, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in a form satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar duly executed by, the registered holder hereof or

 


his attorney duly authorized in writing, a copy of which authorization must be delivered with any such instrument of transfer, and thereupon one or more new Notes, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. A service fee may be charged to replace a lost or stolen Note, to transfer this Note or to issue a replacement payment check. The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment as herein provided and for all other purposes, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

The Company currently serves as Registrar and Paying Agent for the Notes.

If this Note is issued in the names of holders as joint tenants, the Registrar may transfer or re-register the ownership of this Note upon the signature of one such joint tenants, and the Company, the Registrar, the Trustee and any agent of the Company, Registrar or the Trustee shall not be liable to the other joint tenants for any change of registration or other transfer effected upon the signature of one of such joint tenants.

Each holder of this Note agrees that the indebtedness evidenced by this Note is subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in the Indenture, to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness, whether outstanding on the date hereof or hereafter incurred. The Indenture generally defines Senior Indebtedness as all outstanding Indebtedness for borrowed money (present or future) created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed by the Company (and all renewals, extensions or refundings thereof), which is (i) not expressly subordinate or junior to any other Indebtedness of the Company; (ii) which is expressly subordinate and junior to the Indebtedness described in clause (i) but not to any other

 


Indebtedness of the Company and (iii) which is expressly subordinate and junior to the Indebtedness described in clauses (i) and (ii) but not to any other Indebtedness of the Company.

If an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, occurs and is continuing, the principal of and accrued interest on all Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. The Indenture generally provides that an Event of Default occurs if: (i) the Company fails to pay any installment of interest on a Note when the same becomes due and payable and the failure to pay continues for a period of ten (10) days after receipt of written notice from the holder of the Note or the Trustee; (ii) the Company fails to pay the principal of any Note when the same becomes due and payable at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise, and the failure to pay continues for a period of ten (10) days after receipt of written notice from the holder of the Note or the Trustee; (iii) the Company becomes subject to certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency; or (iv) the Company fails to comply with any of its other agreements in, or the provisions of, the Note or the Indenture and such failure is not cured or waived within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Company of a specific written notice from the Trustee or the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

As permitted in the Indenture, the Indenture, other than subordination provisions, may be amended and the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the holders of the Notes under the Indenture modified at any time by the Company with the consent of the Trustee and holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes. The Company and the Trustee may not modify the Indenture without the consent of each holder affected if the modification (i) affects the terms of payment of, the principal of, or any interest on, any Note; (ii) changes the percentage of Note holders who consent to a waiver or modification as required; (iii) affects the subordination provisions of the Indenture in a manner that adversely affects the

 


right of any holder; or (iv) waives any Event of Default in the payment of principal of, or interest on, any Note.

As permitted by the Indenture, the Trustee and holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, on behalf of the holders of all Notes, may waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences, except an Event of Default in the payment of principal or of interest on the Notes.

References hereby made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the reverse side hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the effect as if set forth in this place.

This Note, including the validity hereof, will be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the state of Missouri.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this instrument to be duly executed.
