 KANSAS CITY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY 

SAVINGS AND PROFIT SHARING PLAN 
 THIS THIRTY-FOURTH AMENDMENT, comprising the restated Kansas City Life Insurance Company Savings and Profit Sharing Plan, except as otherwise specifically stated in the Plan, is effective the lst day of
January, 2011, and is entered into by and between Kansas City Life Insurance Company, a Corporation organized and existing under the Laws of the State of Missouri, hereinafter called the “Company” and Charles R. Duffy, Jr., Tracy W. Knapp
and Mark A. Milton, Successor Trustees, hereinafter referred to as the “Trustees”. 
 ARTICLE I 

Creation and Purpose of Trust 

 

	1.1	 Name. The Company hereby creates this Plan and Trust to be known as the “Kansas City Life Insurance Company Savings and Profit Sharing
Plan” (formerly the Kansas City Life Insurance Company Savings and Investment Plan), hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Plan” or “Trust”. 



 

	1.2	 Purpose. It is the purpose of this Plan to recognize the contributions of its employees to the successful operation of the Company and to
reward such contributions by providing certain savings and investment and profit sharing benefits for those who become participants under the Plan, and for their beneficiaries. 



 

	1.3	 Exclusive Benefit of Employees. This Agreement has been made, and this Plan and Trust created, for the exclusive benefit of
the Company’s employees and their beneficiaries. The terms of this Plan are intended to comply with the provisions of Sections 401(a), 501(a) and 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended from time to time, and Treasury Department
Regulations in connection therewith in order that the Plan and Trust may qualify for tax exemption. Under no circumstances shall any part of the principal or income of the Plan and Trust be used for, or revert to, the Company, or be used for, or
diverted to, any purposes other than for the exclusive benefit of the employees and their beneficiaries. This Plan and Trust shall not be construed, however, as giving any employee, or any other person, any right, legal or equitable as against
the Company, the Trustees, or the principal or income of the Trust, except as specifically provided for herein, nor shall it be construed as giving any employee the right to remain with the Company or in the Company’s employment.

 ARTICLE II 
 Qualification and Eligibility 
  

	2.1	 Qualification. The requirements of qualification for employees are set forth hereinafter. 



 

	 	(a)	 Employees. Beginning February 1, 2002, each present and future employee shall be qualified to enter into a compensation reduction
agreement under Paragraph 3.1 at the time specified in Paragraph 2.2 following the later of the employee’s date of hire or attaining the age of twenty-one (21) years. 



 

	 	(b)	 Each present and future employee shall be qualified to receive a matching Company contribution as specified in Paragraph 4.1 and a discretionary
profit sharing contribution as specified in Paragraph 4.2 of this Plan following the later of the employee’s date of hire or attaining the age of twenty-one (21) years. 



 

	 	(c)	 With respect to this Plan, 


  

	 	1.	 Except for periods of service that are disregarded as described in Paragraph 2.6, an employee will receive credit for service for the aggregate of
all time periods (regardless of an employee’s actual hours of service) commencing with the employee’s employment commencement date, or with the employee’s reemployment commencement date, and ending on the date a break in service
begins. An employee’s employment commencement date or the employee’s reemployment commencement date begins on the first day the employee performs an hour of service following employment or reemployment. An employee who is reemployed will
be credited with service for any period of severance of less than twelve (12) consecutive months. Any fractional periods of service will be expressed in days. 



 

	 	2.	 A break in service is a period of severance of at least twelve (12) consecutive months. A period of severance is a continuous period of time
during which the employee is not employed by the Company. The continuous period begins on the date the employee retires, quits, is discharged, or dies, or if earlier, the first twelve (12) month anniversary of the date on which the employee is
absent from service for any other reason (including disability, vacation, leave of absence, layoff, etc.) In case of an employee who is absent from work for maternity or paternity reasons, the twelve (12) consecutive month period beginning on
the first anniversary of the first date the employee is otherwise absent from service does not constitute a break in service. 


  

	2.2	 Eligibility Date. Except as provided in the next sentence, any employee of the Company who




  
 - Page 5 -









 
becomes qualified after the effective date of this Agreement, shall be eligible to become a participant as of the day of the employee’s qualification. Any employee of Old American Insurance
Company shall be eligible to become a participant no earlier than November 1, 1992 and in accordance with the terms of the Adoption Agreement dated December 19, 1991. 

 

	2.3	 Enrollment Communication. The Company shall inform each new employee when hired of the Plan and shall provide them with enrollment
information if eligible. If not eligible on the date of employment, the employee will be notified when the eligibility requirements of Paragraph 2.1 are attained. 



 

	2.4	 Election to Participate. Except as provided in Paragraph 4.2, any eligible employee who desires to become a participant must
complete the required enrollment process. After January 1, 2008, all eligible employees will be automatically enrolled with a default rate of contribution of three percent (3%). During such enrollment process, the employee shall agree to be
bound by the terms of this Plan and Trust and of all amendments hereafter adopted with the same force and effect as if the employee had executed this Plan and Trust and shall set forth such reasonable information as may be required to effect
participation and maintain the qualified status of this Plan and Trust. 


  

	2.5	 Failure to Elect. Any employee who fails to elect to become a participant at the time of first becoming eligible or, after
January 1, 2008, opts out of automatic enrollment, may elect to commence participation on any other business day of any month provided the employee shall then be eligible. 



 

	2.6	 Participation and Service on Reemployment. Subject to the provisions of this Plan, active participation in the Plan by an
employee shall cease upon termination of employment with the Company. Upon an employee’s termination on or after January 1, 1976, any twelve (12) month employment period during which the employee completes less than five hundred one
(501) hours of employment or work due to a termination shall constitute a one (1) year break in service. Beginning December 1, 2006, a break in service shall be as defined in Paragraph 2.1. 



Upon the reemployment by the Company of any person whose participation has been terminated from January 1, 1976
through December 31, 1984, the following rule shall apply in determining the person’s participation and vesting in the Plan: 
  

	 	(a)	 Participation—before a break in service: If the employee is rehired before a one (1) year break in service, the
employee shall be eligible to participate in the plan as soon as administratively feasible following the date of the employee’s reemployment if otherwise qualified. 



After a break in service: If an employee is rehired after a one (1) year break in service,
the employee shall be eligible to participate in the Plan upon completion of the requirements set forth in Paragraph 2.1 herein. 

  
 - Page 6 -










	 	(b)	 Service—for vested participants: In the case of a person who was vested when the prior period of employment terminated, any
service attributable to the prior period of employment shall be reinstated as of the date of reparticipation and shall be vested immediately upon the person’s reparticipation. 



For other persons: In the case of a reemployed employee who was not a participant in the Plan during the
prior period of employment or in the case of a participant who was not vested when the prior period of employment terminated, any service attributable to the prior period of employment shall be restored only if the number of consecutive years of the
person’s break in service was less than the aggregate number of years of prebreak service. 
 Upon the
reemployment by the Company of any person who has been terminated on or after January 1, 1985, the following rules shall apply in determining the person’s participation and vesting in the Plan: 

 

	 	(c)	 Participation—before a five (5) year break in service: If the employee is rehired before the number of one
(1) year breaks in service equals or exceeds the greater of five (5) consecutive years of service or the aggregate number of years of service earned before the consecutive breaks in service, the employee shall be eligible to participate in
the plan as soon as administratively feasible immediately following the date of reemployment if otherwise qualified. This rule of parity will apply to employees who had no vested interest on separation of employment. 



After a five (5) year break in service: If an employee is rehired and does not qualify for
participation or vesting under the rule in the above Paragraph, the employee shall be eligible to participate in the Plan upon completion of the requirements set forth in Paragraph 2.1 herein. 

 

	 	(d)	 Service—for vested participants: In the case of a person who was fully or partially vested in the Company contribution account
when the prior period of employment terminated, any service attributable to prior period of employment shall be reinstated as of the date of reemployment and the person shall participate immediately and also be vested in accordance with prior years
of service. 


 For other persons: In the case of a reemployed employee who was
not a participant in the Plan during the prior period of employment or in the case of a participant who was not vested when the prior period of employment terminated, any service attributable to the prior period of employment shall be restored
unless the number of one (1) year breaks in service equals or exceeds the greater of five (5) consecutive years of service or the aggregate number of years of service earned before the consecutive breaks in service. 

Sunset Life and Old American Insurance Company: If an employee’s employment


  
 - Page 7 -









 
with either Kansas City Life Insurance Company, Sunset Life Insurance Company of America, Old American Insurance Company or any other affiliated corporation of Kansas City Life Insurance Company,
shall be terminated and the person is subsequently employed by any other of the affiliated corporations, the employee’s employment shall be treated as if under one (1) employer for the purpose of this Plan. 

ARTICLE III 

Member Contributions 
  

	3.1	 Rate of Contribution. Commencing January 1, 1988, each participant may elect to enter into a compensation reduction agreement
with the Company by which a contribution will be made for the participant’s respective account in an amount equivalent to one percent (1%) (commencing September 1, 1993), two percent (2%), three percent (3%), four percent (4%), five
percent (5%), six percent (6%), seven percent (7%), eight percent (8%), nine percent (9%), ten percent (10%) and commencing January 1, 1998, eleven percent (11%), twelve percent (12%), thirteen percent (13%), fourteen percent (14%) or
fifteen percent (15%) and commencing January 1, 2002, any percentage not to exceed one hundred percent (100%) of the participant’s compensation as defined in Section 3.2(a) provided however, that no contribution in excess of
five percent (5%) and commencing January 1, 1994, six percent (6%) and commencing January 1, 2009 eight percent (8%), shall be made for any participant who shall be classified as a highly compensated person. A participant may
elect to change his or her contribution percentage rate on any day of any month by giving such notice as shall be prescribed by the Committee. The contribution for each participant shall be paid to the Trustees semi-monthly and credited to the
respective participant’s accounts. The contributions herein may sometimes be referred to as the participant’s “elective account”. 



Beginning with years after December 31, 2001, no participant shall be permitted to have elective contributions made
under this Plan, or any other qualified plan maintained by the Company during any taxable year, in excess of the dollar limitations contained in Code Section 402(g), 415(d) and regulations ($15,500 in 2007) in effect for such taxable year,
except for catch-up elective contributions permitted in the following Paragraph and Code Section 414(v). 

Beginning with contributions made after December 31, 2001, all employees who are eligible to make elective
contributions under this Plan and who have attained age fifty (50) before the close of the Plan year shall be eligible to make catch-up elective contributions in accordance with and subject to the limitations of, Code Section 414(v). Such
catch-up elective contributions shall not be taken into account for purposes of the provisions of the Plan implementing the required limitations of Code Sections 402(g) and 415. The Plan shall not be treated as failing to satisfy the provisions of
the Plan implementing the requirements of Code Sections 401(k)(3), 401(k)(11), 401(k)(12), 410(b) or 416, as applicable, by reason of the making of such catch-up elective contributions.

	3.2	 Salary or Compensation Defined. 



 

	 	(a)	 For the purposes of Paragraph 3.1 herein and with respect to employees of the Company, the term “salary” or “compensation”,
includes only the fixed amounts, hourly, weekly, semi-monthly or monthly, due and payable to the employees of the Company, not reduced by any salary reductions, but not to exceed, commencing January 1, 2002, two hundred thousand dollars
($200,000.00) for each calendar year and does not include any bonuses, overtime, pay in lieu of vacation, pay while on layoff, severance pay or other extraordinary payments by the Company. 



 

	 	(b)	 The two hundred thousand dollar ($200,000.00) amount shall be adjusted at the same time and in such manner in accordance with Code
Section 401(a)(17). For all other purposes of this Plan, prior to January 1, 2008 compensation shall be defined by the provisions of Internal Revenue Code Regulation 1.415-2(d)(11)(i) and shall also include any amount not includable in the
gross income of an employee under Code Sections 125, 132(f)(4), 402(e)(3), 402(h) and 403(b). Beginning on January 1, 2008, compensation shall be defined by the provisions of Internal Revenue Code Regulation 1.415(c)-2(d)(4), as modified by the
default rules of Internal Revenue Code Regulation 1.415(c)-2(e). Beginning January 1, 2009, compensation shall also include ‘differential wage payments’ within the meaning of Code Section 3401(h)(2) paid by the Company to a
participant on account of qualified military service within the meaning of Code Section 414(u). 


  

	 	(c)	 The family aggregation rules of Section 414(q) of the Internal Revenue Code, as modified by Section 401(a)(17), apply with respect to the
requirement that the Plan must limit the amount of contributions taken into account in determining contributions. That is, the Plan must treat the following family unit as a single employee with one compensation to which the annual compensation
limit under the plan applies: 


 An employee who is either a five percent (5%) owner or
is both a highly compensated employee and one of the ten (10) most highly compensated employees, such employee’s spouse and any lineal descendants of such employee who have not attained age nineteen (19) before the close of the year.
If the compensation for the family unit exceeds the annual compensation limit, then the Plan must prorate the limit among the members of the family unit in proportion to each individual’s compensation. 

The family aggregation rules shall not apply effective January 1, 1997. 

 

	3.3	 Suspension of Contributions. A participant may suspend his or her compensation reduction agreement on any day of any month by
giving such notice as shall be prescribed by the Committee and no contribution shall be made during such suspension period. Such suspension may last indefinitely. The participant may resume his or her compensation reduction agreement on any day of
any month providing the participant shall then be eligible to participate, by giving such notice as shall be prescribed. 



  
 - Page 9 -










	3.4	 Distribution Conditions. The balance in each participant’s elective account shall be fully vested at all times and shall not be
subject to forfeiture for any reason. Amounts held in the participant’s elective account may not be distributable prior to the earlier of, 


  

	 	(1)	 Retirement, disability, termination of employment or death; or 



 

	 	(2)	 Attainment of age fifty-nine and one-half (59
 1/2); or 



 

	 	(3)	 Termination of the Plan without establishment of a successor Plan by the Company or an affiliated employer; or 



 

	 	(4)	 Proven financial hardship, subject to the limitations of Section 3.5. 



 

	 	(5)	 Beginning January 1, 2011, in the case of a “qualified reservist distribution” within the meaning of Code section 72(t)(2)(G)(iii),
the date on which the order or call to active duty for a period in excess of 179 days or an indefinite period begins. 


 For distributions occurring after December 31, 2001, a participant’s elective contributions and earnings attributable to those contributions shall be distributed on account of the
participant’s severance of employment. However, such a distribution shall be subject to the other provisions of the Plan regarding distributions, other than provisions of the Plan that require a separation from service before such amounts may
be distributed. 
 In the event that the dollar limitation provided for in Paragraph 3.1 is exceeded, the
Administrative Committee shall direct the Trustees to distribute such excess amount and any income allocable to such amount, to the participant not later than April 15th following the close of the participant’s taxable year. Effective
January 1, 2008, income allowable to excess amounts that are returned to the participant shall not include income after the end of the plan year for which the contribution was made. If there is a loss allocable to such excess amount, the
distribution shall in no event be less than the lesser of the participant’s elective account or the amount of the contribution made for such participant’s elective account in the calendar year resulting from his or her salary reduction
agreement. 
 In the event that a participant is also a participant in another qualified cash or deferred
arrangement as defined in Code Section 401(k), a simplified employee pension plan as defined in Code Section 408(k) or a salary reduction arrangement within the meaning of Code Section 3121(a)(5)(d) and the elective deferrals, as
defined in Code Section 402(g)(3), made under such other arrangements and this Plan cumulatively exceed ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00) or such amount adjusted annually as provided in Code Section 415(d) and regulations for such
participant’s taxable year, the participant may, not later than March 1st following the close of participant’s taxable year, notify the Administrative Committee in writing of such excess and request that his or her deferred
compensation to this Plan be reduced by an amount specified by the participant. Such amount shall then be distributed in the same manner as provided in the previous Paragraph.

 Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.4 or the Plan to the
contrary, for purposes of this Section 3.4, a participant shall be treated as having been severed from employment during any period such participant is performing service in the uniformed services described in Code Section 3401(h)(2)(A). A
participant who receives a distribution on account of deemed severance from employment described in the preceding sentence may not make an elective contribution under Section 3.1 during the six-month period beginning on the date of
distribution. 
  

	3.5	 Withdrawal, Financial Hardship. A participant may request a distribution due to financial hardship. Commencing January 1,
1988, such distribution shall be limited solely to the participant’s deferred compensation without regard to any earnings on such deferred compensation. Withdrawal under this section shall only be authorized in the event of financial hardship
if the distribution is made on account of an immediate and heavy financial need and it is necessary to satisfy the financial need. For purposes of this Paragraph, a distribution will be deemed to be on account of an immediate and heavy financial
need if the distribution is for expenses for (or necessary to obtain) medical care that would be deductible under IRC Section 213 (d) (determined without regard to whether the expenses exceed 7.5% of adjusted gross income); costs directly
related to the purchase of a principal residence for the participant (excluding mortgage payments); payment of tuition, related educational fees and room and board expenses, for up to the next twelve (12) months of post-secondary education for
the participant, or the participant’s spouse, children or dependents (as defined in IRC Section 152 and for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2005, without regard to IRC Section 152 (d)(1)(B)) payments necessary to
prevent the eviction of the participant from the participant’s principal residence or foreclosure on the mortgage on that residence; payments for burial or funeral expenses for the participant’s deceased parent, spouse, children or
dependents (as defined in IRC Section 152 and, for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2005, without regard to IRC Section 152(d)(1)(B)); or expenses for the repair of damage to the participant’s principal residence
that would qualify for the casualty deduction under IRC Section 165 (determined without regard to whether the loss exceeds 10% of adjusted gross income). 



A distribution will be treated as necessary to satisfy an immediate and heavy financial need only to the extent that the
distribution amount is not in excess of the amount required to satisfy the financial need. This amount may include any amounts necessary to pay any federal, state or local income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the
distribution. In addition, the participant must obtain all other currently available distributions (including distributions of ESOP dividends under IRC Section 404(k), but not hardship distributions) and nontaxable loans under the Plan and all
other plans maintained by the Company. A participant who receives a distribution from his or her elective account under the terms of this Paragraph shall be prohibited from making contributions to his elective account for six (6) months after
receipt of the distribution. Withdrawals pursuant to this Paragraph may not be made by an individual who is an alternate payee under a Qualified Domestic Relations Order and for whom an account is being separately maintained, nor shall


  
 - Page 11 -









 
withdrawals pursuant to this Paragraph be made by a former employee who was a participant and who has not withdrawn all the value of his or her elective account pursuant to Paragraph 10.4.

 The Company and the Administrative Committee shall adopt procedures necessary to implement the compensation
reduction elections provided for herein. 
  

	3.6	 Compensation Reduction Limitations. To ensure continued qualification of the Plan, a test sometimes referred to as the “actual
deferral percentage test” must be met for each Plan year. In order to meet the ADP test, it may be necessary to adjust contributions made by the Company resulting from the compensation reduction agreements entered into by certain of the
participants. 


 In the event that the contribution ratios of the Plan do not satisfy the test,
the Administrative Committee shall adjust the contributions resulting from the compensation reduction agreements as follows effective January 1, 1997: 
  

	 	(a)	 Any distribution under this Paragraph shall as reasonably possible be made on or before the fifteenth (15th) day of the third (3rd) month
following the end of the Plan year, but in no event later than the close of the following Plan year, which in this case is a calendar year and shall be determined in the following manner: 



 

	 	(i)	 The dollar amount of excess contributions for each highly compensated participant shall be calculated. 



 

	 	(ii)	 The total of the dollar amounts in (i) shall be determined. 



 

	 	(iii)	 The contributions resulting from the compensation reduction agreement (“elective contributions”) of the highly compensated participant
with the highest dollar amount of elective contributions shall be reduced by the amount required to cause that highly compensated participant’s elective contributions to equal the dollar amount of the elective contributions of the highly
compensated participant with the next highest dollar amount of elective contributions. This amount shall be distributed to the highly compensated participant with the highest dollar amount. However, if a lesser reduction, when added to the dollar
amount already distributed under this (iii) would equal the total excess contributions, the lesser reduction amount shall be distributed. 


  

	 	(iv)	 If the total amount distributed is less than the total excess contributions, reductions shall continue to be made in accordance with
(iii) until the total amount distributed equals the total excess contributions. 


  

	 	(b)	 For purposes of this Paragraph, income means the gain or loss allocable to excess contributions which shall equal the sum of the allocable gain or
loss for the Plan year 



  
 - Page 12 -









 
and the allocable gain or loss for the period between the end of the Plan year and the date of distribution (gap period). The income or loss allocable for the Plan year and the gap period is
calculated separately and is determined by multiplying the income or loss for the Plan year and gap period by a fraction. The numerator of the fraction is the excess contributions made by the employee for the Plan year and the denominator is the
total account balance of the employee attributable to elective contributions as of the end of the Plan year, reduced by the gain allocable to such total amount for the Plan year and increased by the loss allocable to such total amount for the Plan
year. The income allocable to excess contributions for the period between the end of the Plan year and the date of distribution shall be calculated in the same manner by substituting “gap period” for “Plan year” in the fraction.
Effective January 1, 2008, gap period income will not be included in ADP test corrections. 
  

	3.7	 Deferral Percentage Test. 


  

	 	(a)	 Maximum annual allocation: Effective January 1, 1997, the actual deferral percentage for eligible highly compensated employees for the Plan
year bears a relationship to the actual deferral percentage for all other eligible employees for the preceding Plan year which meets either of the following tests: 



 

	 	1.	 The actual deferral percentage for the highly compensated participant group shall not be more than the actual deferral percentage of the nonhighly
compensated participant group multiplied by 1.25, or 


  

	 	2.	 The excess of the actual deferral percentage for the highly compensated participant group over the actual deferral percentage for the nonhighly
compensated participant group shall not be more than two (2) percentage points or such lesser amount determined pursuant to regulations to prevent the multiple use of this alternative limitation with respect to any highly compensated
participant. Additionally, the actual deferral percentage for the highly compensated participant group shall not exceed the actual deferral percentage for the nonhighly compensated participant group multiplied by two (2).



  

	 	(b)	 For the purposes of this section, actual deferral percentage means, with respect to the highly compensated participant group and nonhighly
compensated participant group for a Plan year the average of the ratio, calculated separately for each participant in such group, of the amount of contribution allocated to each participant’s account resulting from compensation reduction
agreements, unreduced by distributions made pursuant to Paragraph 3.5 for such Plan year, to such participant’s compensation for such Plan year. In addition, for purposes of this section, highly compensated participant and nonhighly compensated
participant shall include any employee eligible to enter into a compensation reduction agreement whether or not such agreement was made or suspended under the provisions of this Plan. 



  
 - Page 13 -










	 	(c)	 In the application of the tests referred to above, the Plan shall take elective contributions into account for the Plan year only if attributable to
compensation that would be received by the participant during the Plan year or earned during the Plan year and received within two and one-half (2 and
 1/2) months after the end of the Plan year. Such
contribution shall be taken into account for a Plan year only if it is allocated to the participant’s account on a day within the Plan year. 



 

	3.8	 Actual Contribution Percentage (ACP) Test. In addition to the “actual deferred percentage test” referred to in
Paragraph 3.6 above, the Plan must comply with the “actual contribution percentage test” required by Section 401(m)(1) and (2) of the Internal Revenue Code. Effective January 1, 1997, the actual contribution percentage for
eligible highly compensated employees for the Plan year shall bear a relationship to the actual contribution percentage for all other employees for the preceding Plan year which meets either of the tests similar to those stated in Paragraph 3.7(a).
Rather than stating the test in this Plan, the test is adopted by incorporating by reference herein the provisions of said Section 401(m)(1) and (2) and the regulations issued thereunder by the Internal Revenue Service.



  

	 	(a)	 In the event the actual contribution ratios of the Plan do not satisfy the test, the Administrative Committee shall distribute any excess aggregate
contributions in a manner similar to that stated in Paragraph 3.6(a). However, if the highly compensated participant is not fully vested in the matching Company contribution and income allocable to such contribution, the non-vested amounts shall be
forfeited pursuant to ARTICLE X and applied pursuant to ARTICLE XI. 


  

	 	(b)	 For purposes of this Paragraph, income means the income or loss allocable to excess aggregate contributions which shall equal the sum of the
allocable gain or loss for the Plan year and the allocable gain or loss for the period between the end of the Plan year and the date of distribution (gap period). The income or loss allocable to excess aggregate contributions for the Plan year and
gap period is calculated separately by multiplying the income or loss allocable to matching contributions by a fraction. The numerator of the fraction is the amount of excess aggregate contributions made on behalf of the employee for the Plan year
or gap period. The denominator is the total account balance of the employee attributable to matching contributions as of the end of the Plan year or gap period reduced by the gain allocable to such total amount for the Plan year or gap period and
increased by the loss allocable to such total amount for the Plan year or gap period. Effective January 1, 2008, gap period income will not be included in ACP test corrections. 



 

	 	(c)	 All such distributions shall as reasonably possible be made on or before the fifteenth (15th) day of the third (3rd) month following the
end of the Plan year in which the excess aggregate contributions were made and no later than the end of the following Plan year. 


  

	 	(d)	 Any distribution or forfeiture of excess aggregate contributions for any Plan year shall be made on the basis of the respective portions of such
amounts attributable to each highly compensated person. 



  
 - Page 14 -










	 	(e)	 Matching contributions that are vested may not be forfeited to correct excess aggregate contributions. 



 

	3.9	 Combined Deferral Plans. For the purposes of this Plan, a highly compensated participant and nonhighly compensated participant
shall include any employee eligible to participate in this Plan whether or not such participation was elected or any eligible employee whose participation has been suspended pursuant to Paragraphs 3.3 or 3.5. 



For the purposes of this Plan, if two (2) or more plans which include cash or deferred arrangements are considered
one (1) plan for the purposes of Internal Revenue Code Section 401(a)(4) or Section 410(b), the cash or deferred arrangements included in such plan shall be treated as one (1) arrangement. 

For the purposes of this Plan, if a highly compensated participant is a participant under two (2) or more qualified
cash or deferred arrangements of the Company or an affiliated Company, all such cash or deferred arrangements shall be treated as one (1) cash or deferred arrangement for the purpose of determining the deferral percentage with respect to such
highly compensated participant. 
 Notwithstanding the above, the determination and treatment of elective
contributions and “actual deferral percentage” of any participant shall satisfy such other requirements as may be prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury. 
  


	3.10	 Rollover Contributions. 


  

	 	(a)	 Rollover of distribution from qualified plan. Effective January 1, 1998, an employee of the Company may, in accordance with procedures approved
by the Administrative Committee, contribute to the Plan, as a rollover contribution, part or all of a cash distribution or cash proceeds from a sale of property included in a distribution, that qualifies as an “eligible rollover
distribution”, within the meaning of Code Section 402(c)(4) [excluding, beginning January 1, 2002, any after tax employee contributions], from a plan qualified under Code Section 401(a) in which the employee was a participant,
provided, however, that such amount shall be paid to the Trustees on or before the sixtieth (60th) day after receipt by the employee of the distribution from the other qualified plan. An employee shall be entitled to make such a rollover
contribution regardless of whether the employee has satisfied the qualification requirements of Paragraph 2.1. 


 Alternatively, the Trustee may receive such contribution in a direct rollover from another plan qualified under Code Section 401(a) in which the employee was a participant. 

An employee shall not be permitted to make a rollover contribution of any amount


  
 - Page 15 -









 
that is or has been in an individual retirement account or an individual retirement annuity, as defined in Code Section 408, unless such amount originated in a plan qualified under Code
Section 401(a) in which the employee was a participant. 
 An employee shall be permitted to make a rollover
contribution of any amount to this Plan from, and the Trustee may receive a direct rollover to this Plan of any amount from, an annuity contract or custodial account described in Code Section 403(b) or an eligible plan under Code
Section 457(b) which is maintained by a state, political subdivision of a state or any agency or instrumentality of a state or political subdivision of a state. 
  

	 	(b)	 Accounting for and distribution of contributions. All amounts received as rollover contributions pursuant to Paragraph A of this section shall be
credited to a separate rollover account. They shall be invested in the same way that contributions under Paragraph 3.1 are invested and they shall be subject to the same rules as apply to contributions under Paragraph 3.1 relating to withdrawal and
distributions. Rollover contributions shall be one hundred percent (100%) vested at all times. 


 Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this section 
  

	 	(1)	 Rollover contributions shall not be treated as annual additions for purposes of Code Section 415; and 



 

	 	(2)	 Rollover contributions shall not be taken into account for purposes of either the actual deferral percentage test of Code Section 401(k)(3) or
the average compensation percentage test of Code Section 401(m)(3). 


 ARTICLE IV 

Profit Sharing and Matching Company Contributions 

 

	4.1	 Rate of Matching Company Contribution. The Company shall, with respect to each participant qualified under Paragraph 2.1 contribute
to the Trustees semi-monthly, out of its current or accumulated earnings and profits as shown on the books used in preparing its annual reports, without regard to whether it has any current or accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax
purposes, a matching amount determined as follows: 


  

	 	(a)	 For employees for whom compensation reduction agreements were in effect on December 31, 1997, and 



 

	 	(b)	 For employees hired by the Company in 1997 or earlier who are not eligible to make compensation reduction agreements as of December 31, 1997
but who choose to make compensation reduction agreements when they first become eligible to participate, 



  
 - Page 16 -









 the Company shall match the participant’s compensation reduction $1.00
for each $1.00 deferred, with a maximum of six percent (6%) of a participant’s compensation. Beginning January 1, 2011, the Company shall match the participant’s compensation reduction $1.00 for each $1.00 deferred, with a
maximum of eight percent (8%) of a participant’s compensation. 
  

	 	(c)	 For all other employees, the matching amount contributed by the Company shall vary depending on the employee’s years of employment, as follows:



  

					
	 Matching Amount per
 $1.00 Deferred
 (Counting Deferrals
	 
		
	 Years of Employment
	  	up to 8% of Compensation)	 
		
	 Less than 5
	  	$	0.50	  
	 5 - 9
	  	$	0.75	  
	 10 or More
	  	$	1.00	  

 Company contributions with respect to a participant shall be paid into the Trust and
credited to such participant’s account. Prior to July 1, 2009, such Company matching contributions shall be credited in the Kansas City Life Stock Investment option. Company matching contributions will be reviewed at the end of each plan
year to determine whether the proper amount of matching contributions have been made for each participant, and the Company shall make a “true-up” Company matching contribution to participant accounts. Prior to July 1, 2009, additional
contributions required by this review were made to the Kansas City Life Stock Investment option. The Company shall not contribute a matching amount based upon any catch-up elective contributions made by a participant as permitted in Paragraph 3.1.

  

	4.2	 Discretionary Profit Sharing Contribution. Beginning with the Plan year ending December 31, 1998 and for each Plan year thereafter, the
Company may, at its discretion, make a contribution to the Plan on behalf of each employee of the Company eligible under Paragraph 2.1 to participate in the Plan who is employed on the last day of the Plan year based on profits regardless of whether
the employee has elected to make compensation reduction contributions. Prior to July 1, 2009, the profit sharing contribution shall be in the form specified in Paragraph 4.3 and shall be accounted for in the Kansas City Life Stock Investment
option. The profit sharing contribution shall be allocated to each employee in the proportion that each employee’s compensation (as defined in Paragraph 3.2) for the Plan year bears to the total compensation for all employees for the Plan year,
but shall not exceed four percent (4%) of each employee’s compensation for the Plan year. 


  

	4.3	 Form of Payment. Beginning July 1, 2009, the contributions of Kansas City Life Insurance Company shall be made in cash. Until
on or about September 1, 2009, the Trustees shall use such cash to purchase shares on Kansas City Life Insurance Company stock on the open market. Beginning on or about September 1, 2009, participants shall direct investment of
contributions of Kansas City Life Insurance Company as provided in Paragraph 6.3. 



  
 - Page 17 -









 The following describes rules that apply prior to July 1, 2009. Prior
to July 1, 2009, the contributions of Kansas City Life Insurance Company may be made in cash, in treasury stock or in shares of authorized but unissued stock of Kansas City Life Insurance Company. If the Company or any affiliated participating
Company shall make its contribution in cash, the Trustees shall have the authority to purchase shares, acting independently as to when purchases are made, the number of shares to be purchased, the prices to be paid, and the broker, if any employed,
to effect the purchases. The contributions of any participating affiliated corporation shall be converted to stock in such manner as shall be satisfactory to the Trustees and the respective companies from time to time. For purposes of fixing the
amount of contributions made with shares of treasury stock, or shares of authorized but unissued stock, and commencing with the valuation date of the Plan in June, 1982, such stock shall be valued at the average of its bid price on the
over-the-counter market for all business days following the previous monthly valuation date and, beginning December 1, 2006, such stock shall be valued using the volume weighted average price for all business days for the calendar month just
ended. Beginning March 30, 2007, such stock shall be valued using the last trade of the day price on each business day of the month. This value shall be deemed to be the fair market value of the stock. In the event the Company is precluded from
delivering such shares to the Trustees by law or because of the unavailability of such shares, the Company’s contribution to the Trustees shall be in cash and said cash shall be invested until such time as shares of the Company stock shall be
available for purchase by the Trustees. 
 ARTICLE V 

Investment of Contributions 
  

	5.1	 Investment of Funds. Contributions to the Trust shall be invested in accordance with the authority granted to the Trustees pursuant
to the provisions of this Plan and Trust. Prior to July 1, 2009, it is contemplated that the contribution made by the Company from time to time be in the form of shares of the Company stock. Cash contributions to the Trust, whether by the
Company or the participant, may be used for the purchase of Company stock. 


  

	5.2	 Voting of Shares. The Trustees shall vote the shares of stock of the Company for the respective accounts of the participants only
in accordance with the directions of such participants, which directions may be certified to the Trustees by the Committee, or any agent designated thereby, provided such directions are received by the Trustees at least five (5) days before the
date set for the meeting at which such shares are to be voted. Shares with respect to which no such direction shall be received and the fractional shares shall be voted by the Trustees in the same proportions as are shares as to which voting
instructions have been received. 


  

	5.3	 Tender Offer. Notwithstanding any language in this Plan to the contrary, if the common




  
 - Page 18 -









 
capital stock of Kansas City Life Insurance Company shall become the subject of a tender offer, the Trustees may not take any action in response to such tender offer except as otherwise provided
herein. 
 Upon notice from the Trustees of the Plan, and subject to their rules of procedure then issued, each
participant may direct the Trustees to sell, offer to sell, exchange or otherwise dispose of the common capital stock of Kansas City Life Insurance Company allocated to such participant in the Kansas City Life Stock Investment option. Any such
action shall only be in accordance with the provisions, conditions and terms of such tender offer and the provisions of this Plan. 
 The Trustees shall sell, offer to sell, exchange or otherwise dispose of the common stock allocated to accounts in the Kansas City Life Stock Investment option of the participants with respect to which
they have received directions to do so pursuant to this ARTICLE. 
 To the extent to which participants do not
instruct the Trustees or do not issue valid directions to the Trustees to sell, offer to sell, exchange or otherwise dispose of the common stock allocated to their account or accounts in the Kansas City Life Investment option, such participants
shall be deemed to have directed the Trustees that such shares shall remain invested in said common capital stock. 
 If a participant’s tender shall be accepted, the account or accounts of the participant whose stock has been tendered shall be reduced by the value of the stock so tendered. The date for valuation
shall be established by the Trustees and in order to facilitate such tender offers the Trustees may require special valuation dates. 
 At such time as cash is received for the benefit of a tendering participant, such cash shall be maintained in an escrow account for the benefit of such participant until such time as the Trustees shall
determine that the reinvestment of the funds shall be appropriate. Prior to on or about September 1, 2009, such reinvestment shall be in the Kansas City Life Stock Investment option. Beginning on or about September 1, 2009, such
reinvestment shall be as directed by the participant pursuant to paragraph 6.2. Interest as earned by the Trustees in such escrow account shall be credited to the accounts of those participants whose cash is held. The availability of such cash for
investment shall be the primary objective of the Trustees in the selection of the escrow account. 
 ARTICLE VI

 Allocation to and Evaluation of Participants’ Accounts 

 

	6.1	 Investment Funds. The value of all Trust assets shall be determined on the basis of market values. Beginning December 1, 2006, the
Kansas City Life stock shall be valued at the volume weighted average price for all business days in the calendar month just ended. Beginning March 30, 2007, such stock shall be valued using the last trade of the day price for




  
 - Page 19 -









 
each business day of the month. Beginning July 1, 2009, any purchase or sale of such stock from a participant account shall be valued using the price at which stock was bought or sold by the
Trust on the open market to execute the purchase or sale. Accounting procedures shall reflect the establishment of investment options with the intent that all participants’ contributions, Company matching contributions, and any earnings
thereon, will be accounted for within these investment options. Beginning on or about September 1, 2009, participant, Company matching and profit sharing contributions shall be invested by the Trustees in the general investments pursuant to
ARTICLE XIV, and participant, Company matching and profit sharing contributions to the Kansas City Life Stock Investment option shall be invested in shares of the Company stock pursuant to Paragraph 6.5. Prior to on or about September 1, 2009,
(1) participant contributions to the investment options other than the Kansas City Life Stock Investment option shall be invested by the Trustees in general investments pursuant to ARTICLE XIV, (2) participant contributions to the Kansas
City Life Stock Investment option shall be invested in shares of the Company stock pursuant to Paragraph 6.5, and (3) the Company matching contributions and profit sharing contributions to the Kansas City Life Stock Investment option shall be
invested in shares of the Company stock pursuant to ARTICLE IV. There shall be no guarantee regarding interest or gain, nor shall there be any guarantee against loss of principal in any of these options. It is intended that the Plan comply with
Section 404(c) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. 
  

	6.2	 Participants’ Accounts. An account shall be established for each participant’s balance within the Plan, and shall reflect the
investment options applicable to such participant. All investment options shall be maintained in United States dollars. A determination shall be made each business day of a calendar month on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for business of
the value with respect to each of the investment options and shall reflect contributions made by both the participant and the Company and any gains or losses of the investment options. Each participant shall be provided a statement of his or her
account, reflecting the value thereof, not less often than quarterly. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have the right to change the method of accounting from time to time except that no participant’s account balances shall be
reduced because of such change. 


  

	6.3	 Selected Investments. Beginning on or about September 1, 2009, each participant shall have the right to require the Trustees to
invest all or a portion of the participant’s contribution and Company matching and profit sharing contributions in any of the investment options. Prior to on or about September 1, 2009, each participant shall have the right to require the
Trustees to invest all or a portion of the participant’s contribution in any of the investment options. The participant shall initially indicate choice at the time the participant commences participation, in accordance with the requirements of
the Committee and may subsequently request changes in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 6.4 herein. 


 The participant’s contributions may be invested one hundred percent (100%) in any one of the investment options or, if the participant wishes to invest in more than one (1) investment
option, the participant shall specify the percentage to be invested in each. However, such percentage must be a whole percentage, for example, one percent (1%), twenty-six percent (26%) or eighty percent (80%) and no fractional percentages
will be permitted. 

  
 - Page 20 -









 A participant may request changes in the investment options as often as
desired subject to any restrictions imposed by the investment funds or the Plan. However, in the case of a participant to whom the provisions of either Section 16(a) or Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 are applicable
(hereinafter referred to as an “Insider”), the following restrictions shall apply to any election involving the Kansas City Life Stock Investment option under this Paragraph 6.3 or any other Paragraph of this Plan. Any election by an
Insider to direct an investment, a transfer or change of investment, a withdrawal or any other election which would constitute a “discretionary transaction” as that term is defined by SEC Rule 16b-3(b)(1), may only be made by an insider if
such election is made more than six (6) months after any previous opposite way discretionary transaction under any plan (including the Plan) of the Company, as defined by SEC Rule 16(b)(3)(f). 

 

	6.4	 Investment Changes. Any participant shall have the right to require daily that the value of any one (1) or more of the
participant’s accounts in the investment options be transferred for investment for the participant’s account in any other of the investment options. Such transfers may be made in whole or partial percentages or in dollars and cents and
shall be governed by reasonable rules of the Administrative Committee regarding the timeliness of notice and subject to the rules of Section 6.3.

	     2
	  	 	66%	  
	     3
	  	 	100%	  

 Prior to July 1, 2009, a participant who attained age 55 and completed three

another investment option at any time. 
 Beginning January 1, 2007 and prior to on or about
September 1, 2009, a participant who completes or who has completed, three (3) years of employment shall have the right to transfer the value of Company matching contributions or profit sharing contributions in the Kansas City Life Stock

Stock Investment option pursuant to Paragraph 6.3 herein shall be invested in shares of the Company stock subject to the limitations herein. Such shares shall be purchased by the Trustees, acting independently as to when purchases are made, the
number of shares to be purchased, the prices to be paid, and the broker, if any employed to effect the purchases; provided however, that during any period during which the Company or the Trustees are precluded from making purchases of Kansas City
Life Insurance Company shares by law or at any other time the Trustees may elect and the Company shall agree, if permitted by law, the Trustees may purchase shares of the Company’s treasury stock or shares of its authorized but unissued stock.
Such stock shall be valued in accordance with Paragraph 4.3 herein. In the event the Company does not agree to sell its treasury stock or authorized but unissued stock, and if the Trustees are precluded from buying or are unable to buy such stock on
the market, the Trustees shall invest such contributions until such time as shares of the Company stock shall be available for purchase by the Trustees.

 A “year of employment” shall be deemed to mean twelve
(12) consecutive monthly periods of employment with the Company, dating from the commencement of employment, during which the participant shall complete at least one thousand (1,000) hours of employment. Beginning January 1, 1998, a
“year of employment” after the first year of employment shall mean one thousand (1,000) hours of employment during the calendar year. However, years of employment of an employee of Old American Insurance Company prior to
November 1, 1991 shall not be taken into account for purposes of this ARTICLE VIII. If an employee’s employment with either Kansas City Life Insurance Company or one of its affiliated corporations shall be terminated and the employee is
immediately employed by any other of such affiliated corporations, the participant’s employment shall be regarded as continuous and treated as if under one (1) employer for vesting purposes. 

In the event a participant shall be terminated from employment with the Company or any of its affiliated corporations, by
reason of death, retirement or disability, the value of the participant’s account with respect to Company contributions shall be one hundred percent (100%) vested upon the date of the month on which such death, retirement or disability
occurs. 
 The value of a participant’s account with respect to personal contributions shall be fully vested
at all times. 
  

	8.2	 Vesting of Company Contributions upon Termination of Plan. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the full value of a participant’s
account, including not only his or her own contributions and the earnings thereon, but also the contributions of the Company and any earnings thereon, shall be fully vested in the participant when and if the Plan shall at any time be terminated for
any reason, or upon the complete discontinuance of Company contributions hereunder, or upon termination of employment of a group of participants constituting a partial termination of the Plan. 



ARTICLE IX 

Account Withdrawals 
  

	9.1	 Optional Withdrawals. A participant may elect to withdraw at any time all or any part of the value of the participant’s accounts in
the investment options attributable to the participant’s rollover contributions made pursuant to Paragraph 3.10. No in-service withdrawal of any part of Company matching contributions and Company profit sharing contributions allocated to the
participant’s account shall be permitted except as provided in Paragraph 9.2. Withdrawals pursuant to this Paragraph may not be made by an individual who is an alternate payee under a Qualified Domestic Relations Order and for whom an account
is being separately maintained. No amounts attributable to the Company’s profit sharing contributions may be withdrawn under this ARTICLE IX.

	9.2	 Withdrawals for Financial Need. Commencing January 1, 1988, no withdrawal of funds for financial need shall be made
except as permitted pursuant to Paragraph 3.5 herein. 


  

	9.3	 Time and Method of Payment. All payments under this ARTICLE shall be made as soon as practicable after the request for a
withdrawal pursuant to Paragraph 9.1, or Paragraph 3.5, and shall be paid either in cash or in shares of Kansas City Life Insurance Company stock pursuant to this Plan. The investment options shall reflect the value of any withdrawal pursuant to the
provisions of this ARTICLE IX. 


  

	9.4	 Elective Account Loans. Commencing January 1, 1988, a participant may request a loan to be made from his or her elective
account or accounts in the investment options under such conditions and terms as stated in the Loan Policy approved from time to time by the Administrative Committee. Any loan made pursuant to this Paragraph, when added to the outstanding balance of
all other loans made to the participant, shall be limited to the lesser of: 


  

	 	(a)	 Fifty thousand dollars ($50,000.00) reduced by the excess of the highest outstanding balance of loans to the participant during the twelve
(12) month period ending on the day before the date on which such loan is made, over the outstanding balance of loans to the participant on the date on which such loan is made, or 



 

	 	(b)	 One-half ( 1/2) of the value of the participant’s elective accounts as of the date on which the loan is calculated. 



Any such loan shall be made for a period not to exceed five (5) years and shall provide for a level amortization with
payments to be made semi-monthly. However, loans used to acquire a primary residence of the participant may provide for periodic repayments over a reasonable period of time that may exceed five (5) years and shall be stated in the Loan Policy.

 Any loan made pursuant to this Paragraph shall result in the reduction of the participant’s accounts in
the investment options reflecting the dollar amount loaned based on the valuation on which such loan is effected. A reasonable rate of interest may be charged, as established by the Administrative Committee in the Loan Policy and such interest
payments shall be treated as earnings of the borrower’s account. Minimum loan repayments shall be made by payroll deduction. Loans shall become immediately due and payable in full upon the occurrence of one of the distribution events described
in ARTICLE X. However, loans pursuant to this Paragraph will not be made to an individual who is an alternate payee under a Qualified Domestic Relations Order and for whom an account is being separately maintained or to a former employee who was a
participant and who has not withdrawn all the value of his or her accounts pursuant to Paragraph 10.4 unless the former employee is a party in interest as defined in ERISA Section 3(14) with respect to the Plan. Further, loans to participants
who are either executive officers of the Company or directors of the Company shall not be made under this Paragraph 9.4 unless the Administrative Committee determines, upon advice of legal counsel for the Company, that Section 402 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 does not prohibit such loans.

 ARTICLE X 
 Distributions 
  

	10.1	 Distribution of Full Value of Accounts. A participant shall be entitled to the full value of all of his or her
accounts in all investment options upon his or her termination of employment by reason of death, retirement or disability, in which event such accounts of such participant shall be fully vested in participant. 



 

	10.2	 Termination. If prior to the termination of the Plan or the complete discontinuance of Company contributions hereunder, in either of which
event a participant’s accounts in all investment options shall be fully vested, an employee participant’s termination of employment occurs for any reason other than one of the events specified in Paragraph 10.1, and if such employee shall
not thereafter be employed by any affiliated corporation of the Company, such participant shall then be entitled to receive (i) one hundred percent (100%) vested interest in the full value of his or her account in the investment options
attributable to the participant’s own contributions and (ii) that percentage of vested interest in the value of his or her account attributable to Company matching contributions and profit sharing contributions as determined by Paragraph
8.1 herein. 


 Any amount not vested at the time of such termination shall be forfeited when
the terminated participant incurs five (5) consecutive breaks in service (as defined in Paragraph 2.1). The forfeiture will occur on the last day of the plan year in which the fifth (5th) consecutive break in service occurs. Such forfeited
amount shall then be used to reduce the amount of Company contributions in accordance with Paragraph 11.1 herein. 
  

	10.3	 Method of Distribution. The default form of distribution shall be a lump sum payment. If the payment is made as a result of the
death of the participant, the payment shall be made to the surviving spouse of the participant, if any, unless the participant and the spouse have requested a distribution to any other beneficiary. 



Beginning July 1, 2009, the party entitled to a lump sum payment shall have the right to require that the shares of
Kansas City Life Insurance Company stock attributed to the party’s account be issued to the participant in-kind as a part of said payment. Prior to July 1, 2009 any in-kind distribution of Kansas City Life Insurance Company stock was
determined in accordance with the following formula: The participant shall have the right to withdraw the number of said shares equal to the value that is derived by multiplying the percentage that his or her account in The Kansas City Life Stock
Investment option attributable to matching Company contributions divided by the total of all accounts in The Kansas City Life Stock Investment option attributable to matching Company contributions equals, by the value of all Kansas City Life
Insurance Company stock in The Kansas City Life Stock Investment option 

  
 - Page 26 -









 
attributable to matching Company to contributions. The participant shall also be entitled to any such stock purchased for his or her account in The Kansas City Life Stock Investment option
attributable to elective contributions, the amount thereof to be determined in accordance with the above formula as applied to Company stock purchased with all elective contributions by all participants. 

 

	10.4	 Commencement of Distribution. All distributions shall be made or commenced to be made as soon as practicable following the
occurrence of one of the distribution events described in this ARTICLE X. Alternatively, the participant may choose not to withdraw any of his or her vested accounts in the investment options when one of the distribution events occurs and later
elect to have the distribution made. Prior to on or about September 1, 2009, (1) only a full and complete distribution of the vested accounts will be allowed whether the participant withdraws his or her vested accounts at the time a
distribution event occurs or at some later date, and (2) no partial withdrawals shall be permitted. Beginning on or about September 1, 2009, a participant who meets the requirements of this ARTICLE X may elect a distribution of a portion
of his or her vested accounts, subject to reasonable administrative restrictions established by the Company, except that no partial withdrawals shall be permitted for distributions based on the sole condition of attainment of age fifty-nine and
one-half (59  1/2). Notwithstanding, no distribution
of five thousand dollars ($5,000.00) or more shall be made to a participant unless the participant shall have consented in writing to such distribution, all in accordance with the provisions of Internal Revenue Code Section 411 and related
regulations. Beginning January 1, 2002, with respect to participants separating from service and distributions after that date, the value of a participant’s vested accounts shall be determined without regard to that portion of the vested
account that is attributable to rollover contributions (and any earnings allocable thereto) within the meaning of Code Section 402(c). If the value of the participant’s vested accounts, including rollover contributions (and any earnings
attributable thereto) as so determined is one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) or less, the Plan shall immediately distribute the participant’s entire vested account balance; no amount in excess of one thousand ($1,000.00) shall be distributed
without the participant’s written consent. 


  

	10.5	 Valuation. The value of a participant’s accounts in the investment options for distribution purposes shall be based on the liquidation
price on the date such distribution is processed. 


  

	10.6	 Facility of Payment. If the Committee shall receive evidence satisfactory to it that a participant, retired participant or
beneficiary is physically or mentally incompetent to receive any payment which shall be due hereunder and to give a valid release therefore and that another person or an institution is then maintaining or has custody of such participant, retired
participant, or beneficiary and that no guardian, committee or other representative of the estate of such participant, retired participant or beneficiary, shall have been duly appointed, the Committee may, at its option, make payments otherwise
payable to such participant, retired participant or beneficiary, to such other person or institution and the release of such other person or institution shall be valid and complete discharge for such payments. 



 

	10.7	 Beneficial Designation. Any participant or retired participant shall have the right to




  
 - Page 27 -









 
designate a new beneficiary at any time by filing a request for such change, but any such change shall become effective only upon receipt of such request, in the case of, an online request
receipt is immediate. And provided that any change of beneficiary to a person other than a surviving spouse must be consented to in writing by said participant’s spouse. Upon receipt of such request the change shall relate back to and take
effect as of the date such participant makes such request whether or not such participant is living at the time such request is received. 
  

	    	 If there be no designated beneficiary living or in effect at the death of such participant when any payment hereunder shall be payable to the
beneficiary, then such payment shall be made as follows: To such participant’s wife or husband, if living; if not living, to such participant’s then living lineal descendants, in equal shares, per stirpes; if none survives, to such
participant’s surviving parents, equally; if neither survives, to such participant’s executors or administrators. 


  

	10.8	 Fractional Shares. With respect to any distribution of stock pursuant to the provisions of this Plan, a participant shall be entitled to
receive the number of whole shares which the value of his or her account equals and the balance of said account value in cash. 


 ARTICLE XI 
 Application of Forfeitures 

 

	11.1	 Any of the assets attributable to Company matching and profit sharing contributions which shall be forfeited by a participant with respect to his or
her account attributable to matching Company contributions and profit sharing contributions pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 10.2 herein, shall be used to reduce the amount of Company contributions required by this Plan.



 ARTICLE XII 
 Administrative Committee 
  

	12.1	 Membership. The Administrative Committee, sometimes herein referred to as the “Committee”, shall consist of a number of persons,
not less than three (3) nor more than five (5), designated by the Executive Committee of the Company, who shall serve terms of one (1) year or until their successors are designated and said Committee shall have the responsibility for the
general administration of the Plan and for carrying out the provisions of the Plan in accordance with its terms. The Committee shall have absolute discretion in carrying out its responsibilities.

action of the Committee and shall have the same effect for all purposes as if assented to by all members of the Committee at the time in office. 


  

	12.5	 No member of the Committee shall receive any compensation for his or her services as such and, except as required by law, no bond or other security

of the Company from time to time may reserve for itself, including the right to remedy possible ambiguities, inconsistencies or omissions. All interpretations, determinations and decisions of the Committee or the Executive Committee of the Company
in respect of any matter hereunder shall be final, conclusive and binding on all parties affected thereby. The Committee shall, when requested, submit a report to the Executive Committee of the Company giving a brief account of the operation of the
Plan and the performance of the various funds and accounts established pursuant to the Plan. 


  

	12.7	 Claims Procedure. The Administrative Committee shall have full and complete discretionary authority to make all determinations as to the
right of any person to a benefit. Any denial by the Committee of a claim for benefits under this Plan by a participant or a beneficiary shall be stated in writing by the Committee and delivered or mailed to the participant or the beneficiary,
whichever is appropriate; and such notice shall set forth the specific reason for the denial, written to the best of the Committee’s ability in a manner that may be understood without legal or actuarial counsel. In addition, the Committee shall
provide a reasonable opportunity to any participant or beneficiary whose claim for benefits has been denied for a review of the decision denying the claim. 



 

	12.8	 Any member of the Committee may resign by giving notice to the Executive Committee at least fifteen (15) days before the effective date of
resignation. Any Committee member shall resign upon request of the Executive Committee. The Executive Committee shall fill all vacancies on the Committee as soon as is reasonably possible after a resignation takes place, and until a new appointment

with the directions of the Committee. 


  

	13.3	 Merger. This Plan and Trust shall not be merged or consolidated with, nor shall any assets or liabilities be transferred to any other Plan or
Trust, unless the accrued benefit of each participant, if the Plan and Trust were terminated immediately after such action, would be equal to or greater than the accrued benefit to which such participant would have been entitled if this Plan and

year ending on the preceding 31st of December. The written approval of said account by the Board of Directors or the Executive Committee of the Company shall, as to all matters and transactions stated therein or shown thereby, be final and binding

	15.14	 Retirement Dates. 


  

	 	(a)	 Commencing January 1, 1988, the normal retirement date for all employees participating in this Plan shall be the earlier of the first
(1st) day of the month following attainment of sixty (60) years of age or the first (1st) day of the month following attainment of fifty-five (55) years of age and completion of five (5) years of employment. For purposes of
determining the completion of five (5) years of employment, the years of employment of an employee of Old American Insurance Company prior to November 1, 1991 shall not be taken into account. 



 

	 	(b)	 For the purposes of this Plan, a participant who reaches his or her normal retirement date shall be deemed to have retired on such date and shall
thereupon become entitled to the retirement benefits herein, except as provided in Subparagraph (c). The value of all contributions allocated to the participant’s respective accounts shall be one hundred percent (100%) vested.



  

	 	(c)	 A participant may continue employment for purposes herein beyond his or her normal retirement date and the participant will commence receiving
benefits on his or her actual retirement date; provided, however, distributions to a five percent (5%) owner of the Company as defined in the Internal Revenue Code shall commence no later than April 1st of the calendar year following the
calendar year in which the participant attains age seventy and one-half (70  1/2) and distributions to other participants shall commence no later than April 1st of the year in which such other participant attains the age of seventy and one-half (70  1/2), unless such other participant shall have attained age seventy and
one-half (70  1/2) prior to January 1, 1988 and
was not a five percent (5%) owner at any time during the period beginning with the Plan year ending with the year in which he attained age sixty-six and one-half (66  1/2) and any subsequent year. Contributions may be continued until such
actual retirement date at the option of the participant. Effective January 1, 1989, the minimum distribution and the minimum distribution incidental benefit requirements of Internal Revenue Code Proposed Regulations 1.401(a)(9)-1 and
1.401(a)(9)-2 are hereby incorporated by reference. Effective January 1, 1997, for participants other than a five percent (5%) owner of the Company, distributions shall commence no later than April 1st of the calendar year following
the later of: 


  

	 	(i)	 The year in which the participant attains age 70
 1/2, or 



 

	 	(ii)	 The year in which the participant retires. 



All required minimum distributions shall be determined and made in accordance with Appendix A.

Insurance Company required to be treated as a single employer under Internal Revenue Code Section 414(b), (c), (m) and (o), any or all of which may sometimes be referred to herein as affiliated corporations. 

 

	15.17	 Employee. The term “employee” shall mean any person employed by Kansas City Life Insurance Company or any subsidiary corporation
under the rules of common law and shall not include agents, general agents, consultants or other independent contractors, or, effective January 1, 1989, leased employees as defined in Section 414(n) or (o) of the Internal Revenue
Code. Effective January 1, 1997, “leased employee” shall mean any person other than an employee of the Company who has performed services for the Company under an agreement between the Company and a leasing organization on a
substantially full time basis for at least one (1) year, provided such services are performed under the primary direction or control by the Company. 



 

	    	 Leased employees shall not participate in this Plan. Furthermore, a person who is not designated as an “employee” in the Company’s
employment records during a particular period of time, including a person designated as an “independent contractor”, is not considered to be an employee during that period of time. Such a person shall not be considered to be an employee
even if a determination is made by the Internal Revenue Service, the Department of Labor or any other government agency, court or other tribunal, that such person is an employee for any purpose, unless and until the Company in fact designates such
person as an employee for purposes of this Plan. If such a designation is made, the designation shall be applied prospectively only unless the Company specifically provides otherwise. 



 

	15.18	 Agents. Commencing January 1, 1990, no life insurance salesperson of Kansas City Life Insurance Company, sometimes referred to herein as
“agent” shall be eligible to participate. Accounts of all participating agents shall be finally valued on the last business day of December, 1989, shall be one hundred percent (100%) vested and shall be paid to them in January, 1990
in such form as permitted by the provisions of this Plan. No further deferral in this Plan shall be permitted. 


  

	15.19	 Company Stock. The term “Company stock” shall mean shares of the common capital stock of Kansas City Life Insurance Company.



  

	15.20	 Executive Committee. Wherever in the Plan and Trust the term “Executive Committee” is used, it shall be taken to mean only the
Executive Committee of the Board of Directors of Kansas City Life Insurance Company. 


  

	15.21	 Board of Directors. Wherever in the Plan and Trust the term “Board of Directors” is used, it shall be taken to mean only
the Board of Directors of Kansas City Life Insurance Company. 


  

	15.22	 Maximum Limitation. Commencing January 1, 1983, in no event shall the sum of the annual additions to a participant’s account
for any Plan year exceed the lesser of: 



  
 - Page 37 -










	 	(a)	 Thirty thousand dollars ($30,000.00) (subject to annual adjustments pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 415(d) and regulations), or



  

	 	(b)	 Twenty-five percent (25%) of such participant’s compensation. 



Commencing January 1, 2002, except for Paragraph 3.1 and Internal Revenue Code Section 414(v), the annual
additions to a participant’s account for any Plan year shall not exceed the lesser of: 
  

	 	(a)	 Forty thousand dollars ($40,000.00) subject to annual adjustments pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 415(d), or



  

	 	(b)	 One hundred percent (100%) of such participant’s compensation within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code Section 415(c)(3) for the
Plan year, as determined under Paragraph 3.2(b) of the Plan and Trust. 


 The compensation
limit referred to in (b) shall not apply to any contribution for medical benefits after separation from service within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code Sections 401(h) or 419A(f)(2) which is otherwise treated as an annual addition.

  

	15.23	 Annual Additions. For the purposes of this Plan, “annual addition” shall be the sum for any year of the Company contributions
plus the amount of any employee contributions, plus the forfeitures, as further defined in Internal Revenue Code Regulation section 1.415(c)-1. 


  

	15.24	 Annual Additions Reduction. If any participant is a participant under any other defined contribution plan maintained by the
Company, the total of the annual additions to such participant’s account from all such defined contribution plans shall not exceed the limitations set forth in Paragraph 15.22. Beginning on January 1, 2008, any excess annual additions
shall be corrected through the Employee Plans Compliance Resolution System. Prior to January 1, 2008, if it is determined that as a result of the limitation set forth in the preceding sentence, the annual additions to the participant’s
account in this Plan are excessive, a reduction of such annual additions shall be effected by a return to the participant of a dollar amount (with any earnings attributable to the dollar amount) from his elective accounts, which with an equal amount
of the Company’s contributions accounted for in accordance with the following formula, eliminates such excess: The excess amounts in the participant’s matching Company contributions account in the Kansas City Life Stock Investment option
must be used to reduce Company contributions for the next limitation year (and succeeding limitation years, as necessary) for that participant if that participant is covered by the Plan as of the end of the limitation year. However, if the
participant is not covered by the Plan as of the end of the limitation year, then the excess amounts must be held in unallocated in a suspense account for the limitation year and allocated and reallocated in the next limitation year to all of the
remaining participants in the Plan in accordance with the rules set forth in Subparagraph (6)(i) of Regulation Section 1.415-6(b). Furthermore, the excess amounts must




  
 - Page 38 -










	 	 
be used to reduce the Company contributions for the next limitation year (and succeeding limitation years, as necessary) for all of the remaining participants in the Plan. For purposes of this
Paragraph, excess amounts may not be distributed to participants or former participants. 


  

	15.25	 Annual Additions Reduction. If any participant is a participant under a defined benefit plan maintained by the Company, the sum of
the defined benefit plan fraction for a Plan year and the defined contribution plan fraction for that year shall be no greater than one (1.00). If it is determined that the limitation set forth in the preceding sentence has been exceeded, the
numerator of the defined benefit plan fraction shall be adjusted by freezing or adjusting the rate of benefit authorized by the defined benefit plan so that the sum of both fractions shall not exceed one (1) for the respective participant.
Effective January 1, 2000, this Paragraph shall not apply. 


  

	15.26	 Retirement Plan. As used in this section, the words “retirement plan” shall mean: 



 

	 	(a)	 Any profit sharing, pension or stock bonus plan described in Section 401(a) and 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code;



  

	 	(b)	 Any annuity plan or annuity contract described in Section 403(a) or 403(b) of the Internal Revenue Code; 



 

	 	(c)	 Any qualified bond purchase plan described in Section 405(a) of the Internal Revenue Code; and 



 

	 	(d)	 Any individual retirement account, individual retirement annuity or retirement bond described in Section 408(a), 408(b) or 409 of the Internal
Revenue Code. 


  

	15.27	 Defined Contribution Plan. As used in this section, the words “defined contribution plan” shall mean a retirement plan
which provides for an individual account for each participant and for benefits based solely on the amount contributed to the participant’s account and any income, expenses, gains and losses and any forfeitures of accounts of other participants
which may be allocated to such participant’s accounts. 


  

	15.28	 Defined Benefit Plan. As used in this section, the words “defined benefit plan” shall mean any retirement plan which is
not a defined contribution plan. 


  

	15.29	 Defined Benefit Plan Fraction. As used in this section, the words “defined benefit plan fraction” shall mean, for
any Plan year, a fraction, 


  

	 	(a)	 The numerator of which is the projected annual benefit of the participant, that is, the annual benefit to which the participant would be entitled
under the terms of the defined benefit plan on the assumptions that the participant continues employment until his or her normal retirement date as determined under the terms of the defined




  
 - Page 39 -










	 	 
benefit plan, that his or her compensation continues at the same rate as in effect in the Plan year under consideration until his or her normal retirement date and that all other relevant factors
used to determine benefits under such defined benefit plan remain constant as of the current Plan year for all future Plan years, under all defined benefit plans maintained by the Company, determined as of the close of the Plan year; and,



  

	 	(b)	 The denominator of which is the lesser of: (i) the maximum dollar limit for such year (for example, ninety thousand dollars ($90,000.00) for
1983, and adjusted annually for increases in the cost of living as permitted under Section 415(d) of the Internal Revenue Code) times 1.25 or (ii) the percentage of compensation limit for such year times 1.4. Effective January 1,
2000, this Paragraph shall not apply. 


  

	15.30	 Defined Contribution Plan Fraction. As used in this section, the words “defined contribution plan fraction” shall
mean, for any Plan year, a fraction, 


  

	 	(a)	 The numerator of which is the sum of the annual additions to the participant’s account under all defined contribution plans maintained by the
Company in that Plan year; and, 


  

	 	(b)	 The denominator of which is the sum of the lesser of the following amounts, determined for the year and for each prior year of service with the
Company: (i) the product of 1.25 multiplied by the dollar limitation in effect for the year or (ii) the product of 1.4 multiplied by the percentage of compensation limit (IRC 415(e)(3) as amended). 



 

	 	(c)	 In computing the defined contribution plan fraction above, for years ending after December 31, 1982, at the election of the Company, the amount
to be taken into account for all years ending before January 1, 1983, may be computed to be an amount equal to the denominator of the fraction, as in effect for the year ending in 1982, multiplied by a transition fraction,



  

	 	1.	 The numerator of which is the lesser of (i) fifty-one thousand eight hundred seventy-five dollars ($51,875.00) or (ii) 1.4 multiplied by
twenty-five percent (25%) of the participant’s compensation for the year ending in 1981; and, 


  

	 	2.	 The denominator of which is the lesser of (i) forty-one thousand five hundred dollars ($41,500.00) or (ii) twenty-five percent
(25%) of the participant’s compensation for the year ending in 1981. Effective January 1, 2000, this Paragraph shall not apply. 


  

	15.31	 Affiliated Company Participation. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no employee of any subsidiary or
affiliated corporation of Kansas City Life Insurance Company shall have the right to make contributions to this Plan unless such Plan shall have been adopted by the corporation for which such employee is employed.

	15.32	 Highly Compensated Person. Prior to January 1, 1997, the term “highly compensated person”, for the purposes of this
Plan, shall mean any employee who at any time during the preceding year or the look-back year, 


  

	 	(a)	 Was a five percent (5%) owner of the Company, or 



 

	 	(b)	 Had compensation in excess of seventy-five thousand dollars ($75,000.00) per year, or 



 

	 	(c)	 Was in the highest paid twenty percent (20%) of the employees of the Company (ranked on the basis of compensation paid during such year) with
compensation in excess of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000.00) per year (top-paid group), or 


  

	 	(d)	 Was an officer with compensation in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the amount in effect under IRC Section 415(b)(1)(A) for such year
(counting at least one (1) officer, regardless of compensation; but counting no more than fifty (50) or if less, ten percent (10%) of all employees or three (3) employees, whichever is greater). 



In the case of the year for which the relevant determination is being made, an employee not described in Subparagraph (b),
(c) or (d) for the preceding year (without regard to this Paragraph) shall not be treated as described in Subparagraph (b), (c) or (d) unless such employee is a member of the group consisting of the one hundred
(100) employees paid the greatest compensation during the year for which such determination is being made. 

For purposes of this Paragraph, “look-back year” shall be the twelve (12) month period immediately
preceding the year for which the relevant determination is being made and the term “compensation” shall be compensation defined in Paragraph 3.2 including additional amounts described in Code Sections 125, 402(e)(3), 402(h) and 403(b).

 If an employee is a “family member” of a five percent (5%) owner or of a highly compensated
employee who is one of the ten (10) most highly compensated employees ranked on the basis of compensation paid by the employer during such year, the employee and the five percent (5%) owner or top ten (10) highly compensated employees
will be aggregated and treated as a single employee receiving compensation and a Plan contribution that is based on the compensation or Plan contribution of such employee and five percent (5%) owner or top ten (10) highly compensated
employee. For this purpose, “family member” shall mean the employee’s spouse and lineal ascendants or descendants and the spouses of the lineal ascendants or descendants. Effective January 1, 1997, for purposes of Subparagraph
(e) below, an employee who is a “family member” of a five percent (5%) owner at any time during the year shall be considered a highly compensated person regardless of compensation. For this purpose, “family member”
shall mean the five percent (5%) owner’s spouse, child, parent or grandchild.

 Effective January 1, 1997, “highly compensated person” shall
mean an employee who: 
  

	 	(e)	 Was a five percent (5%) owner of the Company at any time during the year or preceding year, or 



 

	 	(f)	 For the preceding year 


  

	 	1.	 Had compensation as defined in Code Section 415(c)(3) from the Company in excess of $80,000.00, and 



 

	 	2.	 If the Company elects the application of this clause for the preceding year, was in the group consisting of the top twenty percent (20%) of the
employees ranked on the basis of compensation paid during such preceding year. 


 The dollar
amounts in Subparagraphs (b), (c) and (f)1 shall be adjusted at the same time and in such manner as under Code Section 415(d) and Regulations thereunder. 

In determining who is a highly compensated person, all employers required to be aggregated under subsections (b), (c),
(m), (n) and (o) of Code Section 414 shall be taken into account as a single employer. However, leased employees within the meaning of Code Sections 414(n) and (o) shall not be considered employees if the leased employees are
covered by a plan described in Code Section 414(n)(5) and are not covered in any qualified plan maintained by the employer. 
 If a former employee separated from service prior to the calendar year and was an active highly compensated person in the year of separation, or in any year after attaining fifty-five (55), the former
employee was counted as a highly compensated person, the former employee shall be treated as an employee for purposes of determining the number of highly compensated persons. However, if such former employee separated from service prior to 1987, the
former employee will be treated as a highly compensated person only if during the separation year (or the year preceding the separation year) or any year after the employee attained age fifty-five (55) [or the last year ending before the
employee’s fifty-fifth (55th) birthday], the former employee received compensation in excess of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000.00) or was a five percent (5%) owner. 

For purposes of determining the number of employees in Sub-Paragraphs (c) and (f)2, nonresident
aliens shall not be treated as employees. Employees who (1) have not completed six (6) months of service, or (2) normally work less than seventeen and one-half (17  1/2) hours per week, or (3) normally work less than six
(6) months during any year, or (4) have not attained age twenty-one (21) shall also be excluded (but these latter employees will still be considered for purposes of identifying the particular employees in the top-paid group), and
(5) to the extent allowable under regulations, employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement between the Company and employee representatives. 
  

	15.33	 Direct Rollovers. The provisions of this Paragraph shall be effective January 1, 1993 and apply to distributions after
January 1, 1993. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to 



  
 - Page 42 -









 
the contrary, a distributee may elect to have any portion of an eligible rollover distribution paid directly to an eligible retirement plan specified by the distributee in a direct rollover. The
Administrative Committee may prescribe the time and manner in which this election is made. 
 As used in this
Paragraph, “eligible rollover distribution”, “eligible retirement plan”, “distributee” and “direct rollover” shall mean: 
  

	 	(a)	 “Eligible rollover distribution” is any distribution of all or any portion of the balance to the credit of the distributee. However, an
eligible rollover distribution shall not include: 


  

	 	(i)	 Any distribution that is one of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) made for the life (or life
expectancy) of the distributee or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the distributee and the distributee’s designated beneficiary or for a specified period of ten (10) years or more; 



 

	 	(ii)	 Any distribution required under Code Section 401(a)(9); or

	 	(iv)	 The portion of any distribution that is not includable in gross income (determined without regard to the exclusion for net unrealized appreciation
with respect to employer securities. However, beginning January 1, 2002, a portion of the distribution shall not fail to be an eligible rollover distribution merely because the portion consists of after tax employee contributions which are not
includable in gross income. Such portion may be transferred only to an individual retirement account described in Code Section 408(a) or an individual retirement annuity described in Code Section 408(b) or to a qualified defined
contribution plan described in Code Section 401(a) or 403(a) that agrees to separately account for amounts so transferred, including separately accounting for the portion of the distribution which is includable in gross income and the portion
of the distribution which is not so includable. 


  

	 	(b)	 “Eligible retirement plan” is: 


  

	 	(i)	 An individual retirement account (described in Code Section 408(a)) or individual retirement annuity (described in Code Section 408(b))

 - Page 43 -










	 	(iii)	 A qualified trust (described in Code Section 401(a)) that accepts the distributee’s eligible rollover distribution. However, in the case
of an eligible rollover distribution to a surviving spouse before 2002 and, beginning January 1, 2007, a non-spouse beneficiary, eligible retirement plan shall mean only the items in (i) above. 



 

	 	(iv)	 Beginning January 1, 2002, an annuity contract described in Code Section 403(b) and an eligible plan described in Code Section 457(b)
which is maintained by a state, political subdivision of a state, or any agency or instrumentality of a state or political subdivision of a state and which agrees to separately account for amounts transferred into such plan from this Plan.



  

	 	(v)	 Beginning January 1, 2006, if any portion of an eligible rollover distribution is attributable to payment or distributions from a designated
Roth account as defined in Code Section 402A, an eligible retirement plan with respect to such portion shall include only another designated Roth account and an IRA. 



 

	 	(c)	 “Distributee” shall include an employee or former employee. An employee’s or former employee’s surviving spouse and the
employee’s or former employee’s spouse or former spouse who is an alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order (defined in Code Section 414(p)) are distributees with regard to the interest of the spouse or former spouse.
Beginning January 1, 2010, a “Distributee” shall also include a designated beneficiary as defined by Code Section 401(a)(9)(E) of the employee and who is not the surviving spouse of the employee. 



 

	 	(d)	 “Direct rollover” is a payment by the Plan to the eligible retirement plan specified by the distributee. 



The value of a participant’s accounts in the Kansas City Life Stock Investment option attributable to the
participant’s elective contributions and the Company’s matching contributions and profit sharing contributions may at the option of the participant, be distributed in the form of Company stock as provided in Paragraph 10.4. 

 

	15.34	 Participants who Enter Armed Forces. Effective December 12, 1994, notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary,
contributions, benefits and service credit with respect to qualified military service will be provided in accordance with Code Section 414(u). Further, the repayment of any elective account loan made under Paragraph 9.5 will be suspended as
permitted by Code Section 414(u)(4). 


 In addition, if a Participant in the Plan dies or
becomes disabled while performing qualified military service on or after January 1, 2007, the Participant’s Beneficiary under the Plan shall be entitled to any additional benefits (including, beginning January 1, 2010, Company
contributions relating to the period of qualified military service, other than Company matching contributions contingent on participant contributions under Section 3.1 that are not actually made) that would be provided under the Plan if the
participant had resumed employment and then terminated employment on account of disability or death.

 Contribution Under Mistake of Fact. If a contribution is made by the
Company by a mistake of fact, such contribution may be returned to the Company within one (1) year after the payment of the contribution. Any contribution returned to the Company shall not include any investment earnings thereon, but shall be
net of any investment losses thereon. 
  

	15.35	 Contributions Conditioned on Deductibility. Company contributions are expressly conditioned upon deductibility of contributions under
Section 404 of the Internal Revenue Code. If any part or all of a contribution is disallowed as a deduction under Section 404, then to the extent a contribution is disallowed as a deduction, it may be returned to the Company within one
(1) year after the later of the date of payment of the contribution or the date the deduction for the contribution was disallowed. Any contributions returned shall not include any investment earnings thereon, but shall be net of any investment
losses thereon.

	 	(b)	 One of the ten (10) employees owning (or considered as owning within the meaning of Code Section 318) the largest interests in all
employers required to be aggregated under Code Sections 414(b), (c) and (m). However, an employee will not be considered a top ten (10) owner for a Plan year if the employee earns less than thirty thousand dollars ($30,000.00) or such
other amount adjusted in accordance with Code Section 415(c)(1)(A) as in effect for the calendar year in which the determination date falls. 


  

	 	(c)	 A five percent (5%) owner of the Company. “Five percent (5%) owner” means any

person who owns (or is considered as owning within the meaning of Code Section 318) more than five percent (5%) of the total combined voting power of all stock of the Company.

  

	 	(d)	 A one percent (1%) owner of the Company having an annual compensation from the Company of more than one hundred fifty thousand dollars
($150,000.00). “One percent (1%) owner” means any person who owns (or is considered as owning within the meaning of Code Section 318) more than one percent (1%) of the outstanding stock of the Company or stock possessing
more than one percent (1%) of the total combined voting power of all stock of the Company. In determining percentage ownership hereunder, employers that would otherwise be aggregated under Code Sections 414(b), (c) and (m) shall be
treated as separate employers. However, in determining whether an individual has compensation of more than one hundred fifty thousand dollars ($150,000.00), compensation from each employer required to be aggregated under Code Sections 414(b),
(c) and (m) shall be taken into account. 


  

	16.3	 Non-Key Employee. “Non-key employee” means any employee who is not a key employee. 



 

	16.4	 Super Top Heavy Plan. “Super Top Heavy Plan” means, for Plan years commencing after December 31, 1983, that, as
of the determination date, (1) the present value of accrued benefits of key employees, or (2) the sum of the aggregate accounts of key employees under this Plan and any Plan of the Company’s aggregation group, exceeds ninety percent
(90%) of the present value of accrued benefits or the aggregate accounts of all participants under this Plan and any Plan of the Company’s aggregation group. 



 

	16.5	 Top Heavy Plan. “Top Heavy Plan” means, for Plan years commencing after December 31, 1983, that, as of the
determination date, (1) the present value of accrued benefits of key employees or (2) the sum of the aggregate accounts of key employees under this Plan and any Plan of the Company’s aggregation group, exceeds sixty percent
(60%) of the present value of accrued benefits or the aggregate accounts of all participants under this Plan and any Plan of the Company’s aggregation group. 



 

	16.6	 Top Heavy Plan Year. “Top Heavy Plan year” means any calendar year after December 31, 1983 in which the Plan is
a top heavy plan. 


  

	16.7	 Top Heavy Plan Requirements. 



 

	 	(a)	 For any “Top Heavy Plan year”, the following provisions shall apply notwithstanding any other provision in this Plan to the contrary:



  

	 	1.	 Any person who is a participant in this Plan in any year in which it shall be a “Top Heavy Plan” shall have benefits vested in accordance
with the following schedules: twenty percent (20%) after two (2) years of service; forty percent (40%) after three (3) years of service; sixty percent (60%) after four (4) years of service; eighty percent
(80%) after five (5) years of service; and one 



  
 - Page 46 -










	 	 
hundred percent (100%) after six (6) years of service. Effective January 1, 1989, there shall be no decrease in a participant’s nonforfeitable percentage in the event the
Plan’s status as top heavy changes for any year. Further, if the vesting schedule shifts in and out of the above schedule for any year because the Plan’s top heavy status changes, such shift shall be considered an amendment of the vesting
schedule. If this occurs, each participant with at least three (3) years of service with the Company may elect to have his or her nonforfeitable percentage determined without regard to the shift.` The election period will begin with the date
the deemed amendment is made and shall end on the later of: 


  

	 	(a)	 Sixty (60) days after the deemed amendment is adopted; 



 

	 	(b)	 Sixty (60) days after the deemed amendment is effective; or 



 

	 	(c)	 Sixty (60) days after the participant is issued written notice of the deemed amendment by the Administrative Committee.



  

	 	2.	 Notwithstanding anything in this plan to the contrary, for any Top Heavy Plan Year, the Company shall make a minimum contribution for each non-key
employee equal to three percent (3%) of such non-key employee’s salary, which shall be invested and accounted for in The Kansas City Life Stock Investment option. 



 

	 	3.	 For any year in which this Plan is top heavy, each non-key employee will receive a minimum contribution if the non-key employee has not separated
from service at the end of the top heavy year, regardless of whether the non-key employee has less than one thousand (1,000) hours of service in such year. Furthermore, such non-key employee shall receive such minimum contribution regardless of
his or her level of compensation and regardless of whether the non-key employee declines to make a mandatory personal contribution. No such minimum contribution made by the Company pursuant to these top heavy provisions shall be subject to
forfeiture if a non-key employee withdraws his or her mandatory contributions. 


  

	 	4.	 Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as any non-key employee is covered by both the Company’s Pension Plan and this Plan, the minimum
contribution required herein shall be satisfied by the accrual of the defined benefit minimum by the respective non-key employee for any top heavy year. 



 

	 	5.	 If the Company shall be maintaining both this Plan and a defined benefit plan in any top heavy year, a factor of 1.0 must be applied to the
denominators of the defined benefit and defined contribution fractions. 



  
 - Page 47 -










	16.8	 Determination of Top Heavy Status. 



 

	 	(a)	 This Plan shall be a Top Heavy Plan for any Plan year commencing after December 31, 1983, in which, as of the determination date, (1) the
present value of accrued benefits of key employees, or (2) the sum of the aggregate accounts of key employees under this Plan and any Plan of an aggregation group, exceeds sixty percent (60%) of the present value of accrued benefits or the
aggregate accounts of all participants under this Plan and any Plan of an aggregation group. 



If any participant is a non-key employee for any Plan year, but such participant was a key employee for any prior Plan
year, such participant’s present value of accrued benefit and/or aggregate account balance shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining whether this Plan is a Top Heavy Plan (or whether any aggregation group which includes this
Plan is a Top Heavy group). 
  

	 	(b)	 This Plan shall be a Super Top Heavy Plan for any Plan year commencing after December 31, 1983, in which, as of the determination date,
(1) the present value of accrued benefits of key employees, or (2) the sum of the aggregate accounts of key employees under this Plan and any Plan of an aggregation group, exceeds ninety percent (90%) of the present value of accrued
benefits or the aggregate accounts of all participants under this Plan and any Plan of an aggregation group. 


  

	 	(c)	 Aggregate account. A participant’s aggregate account as of the determination date is the sum of: 



 

	 	1.	 The participant’s account balance as of the most recent valuation occurring within a twelve (12) month period ending on the determination
date. 


  

	 	2.	 Contributions that would be allocated as of a date not later than the determination date, even though those amounts are not yet made or required to
be made. 


  

	 	3.	 Any Plan distributions made within the Plan year that includes the determination date or within the four (4) preceding Plan years. However, in
the case of distributions made after the valuation date and prior to the determination date, such distributions are not included as distributions for Top Heavy purposes to the extent that such distributions are already included in the
participant’s aggregate account balance as of the valuation date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all distributions, including distributions made prior to January 1, 1984, will be counted. 



 

	 	4.	 Any employee contributions, whether voluntary or mandatory. However, amounts attributable to tax deductible qualified employee contributions shall
not be considered to be a part of the participants aggregate account balance. 


  

	 	(d)	 “Aggregation group” means either a required aggregation group or a permissive aggregation group as hereinafter determined.




  
 - Page 48 -










	 	1.	 Required aggregation group. In determining a required aggregation group hereunder, each Plan of the Company in which a key employee is a participant
and each other Plan of the Company which enables any Plan in which a key employee participates to meet the requirements of Code Sections 401(a)(4) and 410, will be required to be aggregated. Such group shall be known as a required aggregation group
and shall include any terminated plan which if it had not been terminated would have been required to be included in the aggregation group. 


 In the case of a required aggregation group, each Plan in the group will be considered a Top Heavy Plan if the required aggregation group is a Top Heavy group. No Plan in the required aggregation group
will be considered a Top Heavy Plan if the required aggregation group is not a Top Heavy group. 
  

	 	2.	 Permissive aggregation group. The Company may also include any other Plan not required to be included in the required aggregation group, provided
the resulting group, taken as a whole, would continue to satisfy the provisions of Internal Revenue Code Sections 401(a) or 410. Such group shall be known as a permissive aggregation group. 



In the case of a permissive aggregation group, only a Plan that is part of the required aggregation group will be
considered a Top Heavy Plan if the permissive aggregation group is a Top Heavy group. No Plan in the permissive aggregation group will be considered a Top Heavy Plan if the permissive aggregation group is not a Top Heavy Plan group. 

 

	 	3.	 Only those Plans of the Company in which the determination dates fall within the same calendar year shall be aggregated in order to determine
whether such Plans are Top Heavy Plans. 


  

	 	4.	 For purposes of determining the present value of the cumulative accrued benefit for any employee or the amount of the account of any employee, the
value or amount shall be increased by the aggregate distributions made with respect to such employee under the plan during the five year period ending on the determination date. The preceding sentence also applies to distributions under a terminated
plan which if it had not been terminated would have been required to be included in an aggregation group. If any individual is a non-key employee with respect to any plan for any plan year, but such individual was a key employee with respect to such
plan for any prior plan year, any accrued benefit for such employee (and the account of such employee) shall not be taken into account. The accrued benefit of an employee who has performed no services for the Company during the five (5) year
period ending on the determination date will not be taken into account. 



  
 - Page 49 -










	 	(e)	 “Determination date” means (1) the last day of the preceding Plan year or (2) in the case of the first Plan year, the last day
of such Plan year. 


  

	 	(f)	 Present value of accrued benefit. In the case of a defined benefit plan, a participant’s present value of accrued benefit shall be as
determined under the provisions of the applicable defined benefit plan. 


  

	 	(g)	 “Top Heavy group” means an aggregation group in which, as of the determination date, the sum of: 



 

	 	1.	 The present value of accrued benefits of key employees under all defined benefit plans included in the group; and 



 

	 	2.	 The aggregate accounts of key employees under all defined contribution plans included in the group, exceeds sixty percent (60%) of a similar
sum determined for all participants. 


  

	 	(h)	 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the effective date otherwise provided for herein for the application of Code Section 416 to
this Plan (Plan years beginning after December 31, 1983) shall be extended in accordance with any legislative act of Congress. 


  

	16.9	 Modification of Top Heavy Rules. 


  

	 	(a)	 For Plan years beginning after December 31, 2001, this Paragraph shall apply for purposes of determining whether the Plan is top heavy under
code Section 416(g) and whether the Plan satisfies the minimum requirements of Code Section 416(c) for such years. This Paragraph amends Paragraphs of this ARTICLE XVI, including, but not limited to, part or all of Paragraphs 16.2,
16.7(a)1 and (a)2 and 16.8(c)(3). 


  

	 	(b)	 “Key employee” means any employee or former employee (including any deceased employee) who at any time during the Plan year that includes
the determination date was an officer of the Company having annual compensation greater than $130,000.00 [as adjusted under Code Section 416(i)(l)] for Plan years beginning after December 31, 2002, a five percent (5%) owner of the
Company or a one percent (1%) owner of the Company having annual compensation of more than $150,000.00. For this purpose, annual compensation means compensation within the meaning of Code Section 415(c)(3). The determination of who is a
key employee will be made in accordance with Code Section 416(i)(l) and the applicable regulations and other guidance of general applicability issued thereunder. 



 

	 	(c)	 For purposes of determining the present values of accrued benefits and the amounts of account balances of employees as of the determination date,
the following shall apply: 



  
 - Page 50 -










	 	1.	 The present value of accrued benefits and the amounts of account balances of a employee as of the determination date shall be increased by the
distributions made with respect to the employee under the Plan and any plan aggregated with the Plan under Code Section 416(g)(2) during the one (1) year period ending on the determination date. The preceding sentence shall also apply to
distributions under a terminated plan which, had it not been terminated, would have been aggregated with the Plan under Code Section 416(g)(2)(A)(i). In the case of a distribution made for a reason other than separation from service, death or
disability, this provision shall be applied by substituting “five (5) year period” for” one (1) year period”. 


  

	 	2.	 The accrued benefits and accounts of any individual who has not performed services for the Company during the one (1) year period ending on the
determination date shall not be taken into account. 


  

	 	(d)	 Company matching contributions shall be taken into account for purposes of satisfying the minimum contribution requirements of Code
Section 416(c)(2) and the Plan. Company matching contributions that are used to satisfy the minimum contribution requirements shall be treated as matching contributions for purposes of the actual contribution percentage test and other
requirements of Code Section 401(m). 


  

	 	(e)	 Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as any non-key employee is covered by both this Plan and the Kansas City Life Insurance Company Cash Balance
Pension Plan, the minimum contribution required herein shall be satisfied by the accrual of the defined benefit minimum by the respective non-key employee for any top heavy year.

 THIS THIRTY-FIFTH AMENDMENT to the Kansas City Life Insurance Company Savings and Profit Sharing Plan is entered into by

of account balances of employees as of the determination date, the following shall apply: 

 

	 	1.	 The present value of accrued benefits and amounts of account balances of an employee as of the determination date shall be increased by the
distributions made with respect to the employee under the Plan and any plan aggregated with the Plan under Code section 416(g)(2)(A)(i) during the one (1) year period ending on the determination date, including distributions under a terminated
plan which, had it not been terminated, would have been aggregated with the Plan under Code section 416(g)(2)(A)(i). In the case of a distribution made for a reason other than severance from employment, death, or disability, this provision shall be
applied by substituting ‘five (5) year period’ for ‘one (1) year period.’
