Dunaway (hereinafter referred to as “Executive”) as Chief Financial Officer of Employer, and EXECUTIVE accepts full-time employment, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, while Employer
shall be the EXECUTIVE’s employer of record, the term “Employer” shall be defined as including Employer’s subsidiaries as the context requires. The agreements contained herein are in consideration of EXECUTIVE’s continued
employment, and are in place of all previously established agreements and understandings between the Employer, its subsidiaries and EXECUTIVE, whether or not specifically mentioned in this Agreement. 
 2. Annual Review. EXECUTIVE’s performance shall be reviewed annually by the Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”). As part of the review, the
CEO shall review EXECUTIVE’s Base Salary and may recommend to the Compensation Committee of Employer’s Board of Directors an increase to EXECUTIVE’s Base Salary. Such review shall be completed and communicated to EXECUTIVE between the
end of Employer’s fiscal year and the annual meeting of the Board. 
 3. Term of Employment. The term of EXECUTIVE’s employment under
this Agreement (“Term”) shall begin on September 1, 2008 and shall end on August 31, 2010. The Term may be extended by agreement of the parties. During the Term, Employer’s employment under this Agreement can be terminated
by Employer or EXECUTIVE pursuant to Paragraphs 9 and 10, respectively. 
 4. Compensation and Benefits. As compensation for all services by
EXECUTIVE under this Agreement, EXECUTIVE shall be entitled to the following compensation during the Term: 
 a. Base Salary.
EXECUTIVE shall be paid an annualized Base Salary of at least $200,000. EXECUTIVE’s Base Salary shall be payable in accordance with Employer’s regular payroll practices and shall be subject to applicable required withholding and
authorized deductions. Execution of this Agreement by EXECUTIVE shall constitute written authorization for Employer to make the withholdings from EXECUTIVE’s compensation as provided by this Sub-paragraph 4(a). 
 b. Annual Bonus Opportunity. Employer agrees that EXECUTIVE shall be eligible to earn an annual performance bonus (“Annual
Bonus”) from Employer with respect to each fiscal year of Employer that ends during the Term, subject to the terms and conditions as set by the Board or Compensation Committee. Prior to or within the first 3 months of each fiscal year, the
Compensation Committee, in consultation with the CEO, shall identify the performance and other bonus eligibility criteria by which

EXECUTIVE’s bonus eligibility shall be determined for that fiscal year. The amount of any such Annual Bonus shall be determined by the Board or the
Compensation Committee in its discretion, consistent with Employer’s performance, EXECUTIVE’s contribution to Employer’s performance and any other bonus eligibility criteria set for that fiscal year. The Annual Bonus, if any, shall be
payable within 60 days of the end of the fiscal year in which it was earned. In order to be eligible to receive the Annual Bonus for a given fiscal year, EXECUTIVE must be employed on the last day of the fiscal year in which the Annual Bonus was
earned. 
 c. Long-Term Incentive Awards. Employer further agrees that EXECUTIVE shall be eligible to earn annual long-term
incentive (“LTI”) compensation with respect to each fiscal year of Employer that ends during the Term, subject to the terms and conditions as set by Employer in the FCStone Group, Inc. Executive Long Term Incentive Plan in effect for the
then current fiscal year. Prior to or within the first 3 months of each fiscal year, the Compensation Committee shall identify the performance and other eligibility criteria by which EXECUTIVE’s LTI award shall be determined for that fiscal
year. Employer, in its discretion, shall decide whether the annual LTI will be awarded in the form of a Full-Value Award, such as restricted stock, or in the form of an Appreciation-Only Award, such as stock settled stock appreciation rights, or as
a combination of Full-Value Awards and Appreciation-Only Awards. If the annual LTI award is an equity-based award, then the calculation to determine the number of shares underlying the Full-Value Award and/or the Appreciation-Only Award shall be
determined by calculating the “fair value” of such award in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R. The LTI award, if any, shall be awarded within 90 days of the end of the fiscal year in which it was
earned, and shall vest 25% on each of the first 4 anniversaries of the date of grant. If the LTI award is an Appreciation-Only Award, the exercise price of such award shall be the fair market value of a share of Employer’s common stock on the
date of grant. In order to be eligible to receive the LTI award for a given fiscal year, EXECUTIVE must be employed on the last day of the fiscal year in which the LTI award was earned. The parties agree that, with respect to EXECUTIVE, this
Sub-paragraphs 4(b and c) replace and supersede any previous long-term or short-term incentive plans, programs or policies of Employer or its affiliates in which EXECUTIVE has been eligible in the past.

Good Reason on 30 days written notice to Employer. Termination by EXECUTIVE for “Good Reason” shall mean any of the following occurring, without EXECUTIVE’s prior written consent, within the 60 day period immediately preceding
EXECUTIVE’s written notice to Employer of his intent to terminate his employment (i) the assignment to EXECUTIVE of any duties materially inconsistent with Paragraph 5, other than an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent action that is
not taken in bad faith and is remedied by Employer within a reasonable time after receipt of notice thereof from EXECUTIVE; (ii) any requirement by Employer that the EXECUTIVE’s services be rendered primarily at a location or locations
other than within the greater Des Moines or the greater Kansas City metropolitan area and for other than a de minimis period of time; (iii) any material breach of this Agreement by Employer that is not remedied by Employer as soon as

of Paragraph 4, other than an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent failure that is not taken in bad faith and is remedied by Employer promptly after receipt of notice thereof from EXECUTIVE. 
 In no event shall a termination of EXECUTIVE’s employment for Good Reason occur unless EXECUTIVE gives written notice to Employer in accordance with Paragraph 17
stating with specificity the events or actions that constitute Good Reason (a “Good Reason Notice”). In addition, EXECUTIVE shall provide the Good Reason Notice to Employer during the 60-day period immediately following the date that the
events or actions constituting Good Reason first became known to EXECUTIVE. EXECUTIVE shall provide Employer with an opportunity to cure (if curable) the events or actions constituting Good Reason within a reasonable period of time, but at least 30
days from the date on which Employer receives the Good Reason Notice.

termination shall be treated the same as a termination by Employer Without Cause and EXECUTIVE shall be entitled to the same compensation and benefits as provided under Sub-paragraph 9(e). 
 If EXECUTIVE terminates his employment with Employer without Good Reason, then such termination shall be treated the same as a termination by Employer for Cause and
EXECUTIVE shall only be entitled to the compensation and benefits as provided under Sub-paragraph 9(c). Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, upon EXECUTIVE’s termination of employment due to retirement under
Employer’s tax-qualified defined benefit plan, EXECUTIVE shall become fully vested in all LTI awards, stock awards, and stock options and all such rights shall become immediately exercisable and remain exercisable for 2 years from the date of

date of termination of employment by Employer.

protections of certain Proprietary Information which has been developed at substantial expense by Employer and/or its affiliates, and which Employer and/or its affiliates will continue to refine and develop during EXECUTIVE’s employment and
thereafter. 
 (b) EXECUTIVE acknowledges that his work for Employer necessitates the disclosure to him of Proprietary Information and

or its affiliates or any of their customers or potential customers, or would be of disadvantage to Employer, its affiliates or any of their customers, whether or not subject to patent, trademark, or trade secret. As part of his commitment to hold
this information in strictest confidence, EXECUTIVE promises that he will not, during the Term or at any time after Term use for himself or others, directly or indirectly, or divulge or convey to any person not specifically authorized by Employer,
any Proprietary Information. This promise does not extend, however, to his use, communication or disclosure of such Proprietary Information (i) as is specifically required in the ordinary course of performing his job with Employer, (ii) to
such use, communication or disclosure as is authorized in writing by the Board of Directors of Employer, (iii) when required to do so by a court of law, by any governmental agency having supervisory authority over the business of Employer or by

lawfully known to the public or trade without EXECUTIVE’s violation of this Paragraph 12.

facilitate the unauthorized use or disclosure of Proprietary Information except in the ordinary course of his duties. EXECUTIVE specifically promises (except in the ordinary course of performing his duties), he shall not copy or cause to be made any
copies, facsimiles, recordings, reproductions, sample, abstracts or summaries of any Proprietary Information, or to remove the same from Employer’s or its affiliates premises.

paid to EXECUTIVE by Employer during his employment, EXECUTIVE hereby sells and assigns to Employer all intellectual property rights and ownership, including all copyrights, patents, trade secrets and other proprietary rights, to any and all Work
produced by EXECUTIVE during his employment with Employer or its affiliates. EXECUTIVE further agrees to execute any and all documents, which from time to time become necessary, to effectuate the assignment of those rights to Employer. 

14. Non-Compete and Non-Solicitation Provisions. EXECUTIVE recognizes that his employment with Employer affords him access to key
confidential and strategic information concerning Employer and its plans and close contact with Employer’s customers, as well as access to information about them, which information and contacts are of great importance to Employer’s
business. Therefore, in consideration of his continued employment by Employer, EXECUTIVE agrees that for a period of 24 months immediately following the termination of his employment by either party for any reason that EXECUTIVE shall not:

affiliates, or disparage Employer, its affiliates or their officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives, including but not limited to the good business reputation of Employer, its affiliates or their officers, directors, employees,
agents and representatives. Employer and EXECUTIVE agree and understand that nothing in this Sub-paragraph 14(c) or this Agreement is in anyway intended to prohibit, limit, or prevent EXECUTIVE or Employer or Employer’s Board members or
employees from providing truthful testimony in a court of law, to a regulatory or law enforcement agency or pursuant to a properly issued subpoena, and such testimony would not be deemed to be a violation of this Sub-paragraph 14(c).

otherwise permitted to pursue in a court of competent jurisdiction. The award of the arbitrator shall be final and binding. The costs of the arbitration, including administration costs and arbitrator fees, shall be borne by the party that incurred
them. Notwithstanding this arbitration provision, the parties agree and understand that Employer is not required to submit a dispute involving EXECUTIVE’s alleged breach of his obligation under Paragraphs 12-14 to arbitration and may commence
an action in a court of competent jurisdiction with respect to such claim. 
 22. Tax-Related Matters. 
 (a) Withholding. Employer may withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement such federal, state and local taxes as may be required to be
withheld pursuant to applicable law or regulations. 
 (b) Sections 280G/4999 Golden Parachute Tax. If during or after the Term,
EXECUTIVE becomes subject to the excise tax (the “Parachute Excise Tax”) imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time (the “Code”), the parties will handle the situation in

	 	(2)	Specified Employee. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, if EXECUTIVE is a “specified employee” (determined in accordance with Code
Section 409A and Treasury Regulation Section 1.409-3(i)(2)) as of the Termination Date, and if any payment, benefit or entitlement provided for in this Agreement or otherwise both (i) constitutes a “deferral of compensation”
within the meaning of Code Section 409A (“Nonqualified Deferred Compensation”) and (ii) cannot be paid or provided in a manner otherwise provided herein or otherwise without subjecting EXECUTIVE to additional tax, interest and/or
penalties under Code Section 409A, then any such payment, benefit or entitlement that is payable during the first 6 months following the Termination Date shall be paid or provided to EXECUTIVE in a lump sum cash payment to be made on the
earlier of (x) EXECUTIVE’s death or (y) the first business day of the seventh calendar month immediately following the month in which the Termination Date occurs. 

  

	 	(3)	Expense Reimbursements. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, except to the extent any reimbursement, payment or entitlement does not qualify
as Nonqualified Deferred Compensation, (i) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement or the provision of any in-kind benefit (as defined in Section 409A) to EXECUTIVE during any calendar year will not affect the amount of expenses
eligible for reimbursement or provided as in-kind benefits to EXECUTIVE in any other calendar year, (ii) the reimbursements for expenses for which EXECUTIVE is entitled shall be made on or before the last day of the calendar year following the
calendar year in which the applicable expense is incurred and (iii) the right to payment or reimbursement or in-kind benefits may not be liquidated or exchanged for any other benefit. 

  

	 	(4)	 Reimbursement of Expenses in Connection with a Separation from Service. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, any payment or
benefit under Paragraph 9 or otherwise due to a “separation from service” (as such term is described in Code Section 409A and the Treasury Regulations) that is exempt from Code Section 409A pursuant to Treasury Regulation
Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(v) shall be paid or provided to EXECUTIVE only to the extent the expenses are not incurred or the benefits are not provided beyond the last day of the second taxable year of EXECUTIVE following the taxable year of
EXECUTIVE in

following the taxable year of EXECUTIVE in which the separation from service occurs. 


  

	 	(5)	Involuntary Separation due to Good Reason. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, EXECUTIVE may only terminate his employment for Good Reason
in accordance with Paragraph 10 only if such termination of employment complies with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(n) (2). It is the intent of the Parties that the definition of Good Reason and the separation-from-service procedures
specified in Paragraph 10 fully comply with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(n) (2). 

  

	 	(6)	Tax Gross-Ups. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, all tax gross-ups provided in connection with any payment made pursuant to this Agreement
shall be paid by the end of EXECUTIVE’s taxable year next following EXECUTIVE’s taxable year in which EXECUTIVE (or Employer on his behalf) remits the related taxes, and which shall otherwise fully complies with Treasury Regulation
Section 1.409A-3(i) (1) (v). 

  

	 	(7)	Dispute Resolution Payments. Provided that if such costs are not reimbursed in connection with a dispute exempt from Section 409A pursuant to Treasury Regulation
Section 1.409A-1(b)(11), then such payment shall be made by Employer to EXECUTIVE in the year following the year in which the dispute is resolved. 

 (d) Section 83. It is the intent of the parties that all LTI compensation that is equity-based incentive compensation be taxed under Code Section 83. EXECUTIVE may – but is not obligated to
– make an election under Code Section 83(b) within 30 days of the date of grant of any equity-based Full-Value Award. 
 23. Entire
Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire understanding of the parties. Except as expressly provided herein, it may be changed only by an agreement in writing signed by both parties. 
 24. Board Approval Required. This Agreement will not become final, binding and effective on Employer unless and until it has been approved through a
