is made and entered into as of the

limited liability company (the “Company”), and J. Hord Armstrong III, an individual residing in the
State of Missouri (“Management Owner”), and is joined in by Members holding at least a
Supermajority Interest for the limited purpose of consenting to the transactions contemplated
hereby pursuant to Section 9.1 of the LLC Agreement (defined below). Capitalized terms used herein
and not otherwise defined shall have those meanings assigned to them in the LLC Agreement.




          WHEREAS, Management Owner is a unitholder of the Company and is the record and beneficial

certain promissory notes dated September 28, 2006, December 6, 2006, March 7, 2007 and June 6, 2008
(the “Notes”), and Management Owner has pledged all of the Units as collateral to secure the
repayment of the Notes under pledge agreements of even dates as the Notes (the “Pledge
Agreements”);




          WHEREAS, Management Owner is a party to that certain Amended and Restated Limited Liability
Company Agreement dated March 7, 2007, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto dated May 31, 2007, as
amended by Amendment No. 2 thereto dated March 31, 2008, as amended by Amendment No. 3 thereto
dated June 6, 2008, as amended by Amendment No. 4 thereto dated May 6, 2009, as amended by

and




          WHEREAS, Management Owner desires to sell, and the Company desires to repurchase, that number
of Units having a value (based on a per Unit value of $169.00) equal to the Outstanding Debt in
full satisfaction of Management Owner’s obligations under the Notes and on the terms and conditions
set forth herein;




          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements
contained herein, Management Owner and the Company do hereby represent, warrant, covenant and agree
as follows:




ARTICLE I




PURCHASE AND SALE



          1.1. Sale of Purchased Units. Management Owner shall sell, assign and transfer to the Company, and the Company shall
purchase and accept from Management Owner, that number of Units equal to the quotient of (i) the
Outstanding Debt divided by (ii) $169.00 with any resulting fractional units being rounded
up to the nearest whole number of Units (the “Purchased Units”). Management Owner shall execute
an assignment effecting such transfer in form and substance satisfactory to the Company.






 









 








          1.2. Consideration for Sale of Purchased Units. In consideration of the sale of the Purchased Units to the Company and upon receipt of the
assignment and other documents necessary to transfer the Purchased Units to the Company and in form
satisfactory to the Company, the Company shall consider the Notes paid in full. Management Owner
shall accept such form of payment in full consideration for the sale of the Purchased Units and by
the acceptance thereof shall waive and release the Company from any and all claims and rights now
or hereafter arising out of or in any way relating to the Purchased Units.





     1.3. Tax Characterization. For federal income tax purposes, the parties agree to
treat the transactions described herein as if Management Owner repaid the Notes in full with cash
and the Company used such cash to effect a partial redemption of the Units, with such partial
redemption being treated as a distribution to Management Owner. The parties shall file all tax
returns consistently with the foregoing. The Company agrees to pay Management Owner a special
bonus to cover federal income taxes, if any, due and payable by Management Owner as a result of
the partial redemption of the Units and repayment of the Notes.



ARTICLE II




CLOSING




     2.1. Closing. The transactions contemplated by Article I of this Agreement shall be
consummated (the “Closing”) on the date hereof (the “Closing Date”). The Closing shall take place
at the offices of the Company, at 10:00 a.m., local time, on the Closing Date, or such other
location or time or on such other date as shall be mutually agreed to by the parties. At the
Closing, the Purchased Units shall no longer be deemed outstanding and the Management Owner shall
have no voting rights, rights to distributions, or other rights otherwise appertaining to the
Purchased Units.




     2.2. Prorations. All incidents of ownership of the Purchased Units in the Company,
including but not specifically limited to, obligations for assessments, if any, and allocation of
income, gain, loss and deduction, shall be prorated as of the Closing Date in accordance with the
terms and conditions of the LLC Agreement.
