     6.04	Prior to the Closing Date, the Shareholders of JCC shall seek the
approval of the Board of Directors and shareholders of Janus Fund to a new

which shall become effective upon the purchase of stock of JMC and JCC by

merger between JMC and JCC as provided for in paragraph 1.02. Such Investment
Advisory Agreement shall contain terms substantially identical to the terms
of the present Investment Advisory Agreement between Janus Fund and JMC,
except for changes (none of which shall materially change the allocation of
expenses between Janus Fund and the investment adviser) that are deemed
necessary or desirable to conform to applicable rules or regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission or the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc. and which are consented to in advance by KCSI.

requested by such officers, employees and authorized representatives of KCSI
which is within their knowledge or reasonably obtainable by them concerning
JCC, JMC and Janus Fund, including, without limitation, information about
their respective operations, capitalization and shareholders, and any of
their investment advisory clients. The Shareholders of JCC shall cause the
officers and employees of JMC and JCC to cooperate with and assist KCSI in
its review and investigation of the businesses and affairs of JCC, JMC and
Janus Fund and shall permit Price Waterhouse to review, audit or examine, at
KCSI's discretion and expense, such books, records, financial data and other
information relating to the business of JCC and JMC as KCSI may direct.

     6.08  In addition to the approvals and consents to be obtained pursuant
to paragraphs 6.04 and 6.05, prior to the Closing Date, the Shareholders of
JCC shall cause JCC and JMC to use their best efforts, and KCSI shall use its
best efforts, to obtain all requisite approvals and consents from
governmental or regulatory bodies or agencies, or pursuant to leases,

this Agreement.

     6.09	The Shareholders of JCC shall not transfer, dispose of, or in any
way encumber any of their shares of JMC or JCC in any manner which would
prevent them from selling such shares to KCSI as herein provided and the

pursuant to the subsequent closings provided for in Article III shall bear a
legend disclosing the existence of this Agreement and the limitations upon
disposition set forth in this paragraph 6.10.  Notwithstanding the
limitations set forth in this paragraph 6.10, any Shareholder of JCC may
transfer any share of JCC after the Closing Date to any relative of such
Shareholder, or to any trust or other entity for the benefit of such
relative, provided such transfer is effected in accordance with law,
including applicable securities laws and regulations, and such relative,
trust or entity agrees to be, and becomes at the time of such transfer, bound
by the terms and provisions of this Stock Purchase Agreement.

     6.10	Settlement of the litigation pending in the District Court of
Denver County, Denver, Colorado, entitled GORDON YALE V. JANUS MANAGEMENT
CORPORATION, THOMAS H. BAILEY AND WILLIAM C. MANGUS, shall be made only as
approved or directed by KCSI, and any amounts paid, or obligations incurred,
by JMC or JCC (except for the fees and expenses of their counsel) in
connection with such litigation, including any settlement thereof not in
excess of $100,000 or satisfaction of any judgment obtained therein, shall be
borne solely by Thomas H. Bailey and William C. Mangus provided that they
shall bear the costs of settlement up to $100,000 only if they have approved
such settlement, in the same proportion as their respective ownership of the
shares of JCC and JMC owned by them immediately prior to the Closing Date.
If, at the time of any such settlement or judgment, Thomas H. Bailey or
William C. Mangus is an employee of JCC, in lieu of receiving reimbursement
for any amount that such employee may be liable for hereunder, JCC shall
reduce such employee's compensation by such amount.

                                    ARTICLE IX

                  OTHER TRANSFERS OF SHARES; RIGHTS OF FIRST REFUSAL

     9.01	If at any time after the Closing Date, any Shareholder other than
Thomas H. Bailey of JCC desires to sell or otherwise dispose of any of his
remaining JCC Shares, he shall first offer the shares he desires to dispose
of to such employee or employees of JCC as might be designated by JCC
pursuant to paragraph 9.10 to be eligible to purchase such JCC Shares or a
portion thereof, and to the other Remaining Shareholders of JCC (other than
KCSI) in writing for thirty days, at a price per share equal to fifteen times
the Net After-Tax Earnings per share of JCC for the fiscal year ended
immediately prior to such sale, except that if such sale occurs before
October 31, 1985 the price shall be $1.6373 per share. Any such employee or
employees designated by JCC shall have a prior right to purchase an amount of
JCC Shares designated by JCC, and any remaining shares may be purchased by
the other Remaining Shareholders of JCC (other than KCSI) in the proportion
that each such other Shareholder's holding in JCC bears to the holdings of
all such other Remaining Shareholders of JCC. If any Shareholder of JCC to
whom an offer is made pursuant to this paragraph 9.01 does not accept the
offer with respect to all the JCC Shares offered to him, the other
Shareholders of JCC to whom an offer was also made shall have the right to
purchase any remaining JCC Shares on such basis as they may agree among
themselves and at the price specified herein, provided such purchase by such
other Shareholders of JCC occurs within thirty days after the offer to such
employee or employees made pursuant to this paragraph 9.01.

     9.02	If within thirty days after any JCC Shares are offered pursuant
to paragraph 9.01, any designated employee or employees of JCC or the other
Shareholders of JCC (other than KCSI) have not accepted the offer with
respect to all of the JCC Shares offered, any remaining shares shall be
offered to JCC in writing for 30 days at the price specified in paragraph
9.01.

     9.03	If within thirty days after the JCC Shares are offered pursuant
to paragraph 9.02, JCC has not accepted the offer with respect to all the JCC
Shares offered, any remaining shares shall be purchased by KCSI at the price
provided for in paragraph 9.01.

     9.04	If, after the Closing Date, Bernard E. Niedermeyer III, Jack R.
Thompson or any employee of JCC who first acquired JCC Shares after the
Closing Date leaves the employ of JCC for any reason, including, without
limitation, death or disability, but not including sick leave or a leave of
absence or sabbatical for a period of up to one year that has been authorized
by the Board of Directors of JCC, the JCC Shares held by such Shareholder
shall be offered first to any designated employee or employees of JCC and the
other Shareholders of JCC, then to JCC, and finally to KCSI, under the
procedures and at the price specified in paragraphs 9.01 through 9.03.

     9.05	If, after the Closing Date, Thomas H. Bailey dies or becomes
disabled, or if his employment by JCC is terminated by the Board of Directors
of JCC other than for cause (as hereinafter defined), Mr. Bailey (or his
personal representative if he is deceased or legally incompetent) shall sell,
and KCSI shall purchase all of Mr. Bailey's JCC Shares not theretofore
purchased by KCSI at a price equal to fifteen times the Net After-Tax
Earnings per share of JCC for the fiscal year ended immediately prior to the
date of such death, disability or termination, except that if such date is
before October 31, 1985, the price shall be $1.6373 per share.

     9.06	Thomas H. Bailey hereby agrees that he will continue to serve as
the chief executive officer of JCC at least until October 31, 1987. If,
notwithstanding such agreement, Mr. Bailey terminates his employment by JCC
prior to October 31, 1987, or if his employment is terminated by the Board of
Directors of JCC for cause, KCSI is hereby granted an option, which KCSI may
exercise at any time within 120 days following such termination, to purchase
all of Mr. Bailey's JCC Shares at a price equal to fifteen times the Net
After-Tax Earnings per  share of JCC for the fiscal year ended immediately
prior to the date of such termination of employment, except that if such date
is before October 31, 1985, the price shall be $1.6373 per share. Such option
may be exercised by written notice to Mr. Bailey within such 120-day period
and upon such exercise Mr. Bailey shall promptly sell and deliver such shares
to KCSI as provided in this paragraph 9.06.

     9.07	If, after October 31, 1987, Thomas H. Bailey desires to sell or
otherwise dispose  of any of his remaining JCC Shares, he shall notify KCSI
of such desire, stating the number of shares he desires to sell and he shall
thereupon be obligated to sell and KCSI shall be obligated to purchase the
specified shares at a price equal to fifteen times the Net After-Tax Earnings
per share of JCC for the fiscal year ended immediately prior to the date of
such notice.

     9.08	For purposes of paragraphs 9.05 and 9.06, "cause" for terminating
the employment of Thomas H. Bailey shall be his failure or refusal to perform
the responsibilities of the chief executive officer of JCC as reasonably
prescribed by the Board of Directors of JCC, and the continuation of such
failure or refusal for 30 days after written notice to him by the Board of
Directors of JCC specifying the nature of such failure. Performance of his
responsibilities in a manner substantially similar to the manner in which Mr.
Bailey has performed those responsibilities prior to the date of this
Agreement shall not constitute "cause" for his termination, nor shall his
absence by reason of illness nor a leave of absence or sabbatical for a
period of up to one year that has been approved by the Board of Directors of
JCC constitute such "cause."

     9.09	If Michael Stolper dies, or becomes disabled, or if Thomas H.
Bailey disposes of all of his JCC Shares or if his employment by JCC is
terminated for any reason, the JCC Shares held by Michael Stolper shall be
offered first to any designated employee or employees of JCC and the other
Shareholders of JCC, then to JCC, and finally to KCSI, under the procedures
and at the price provided for in paragraphs 9.01 to 9.03.

     9.10	JCC shall be permitted in the discretion of its Board of
Directors after the Closing Date to designate an employee or employees, other
than Thomas H. Bailey, to be eligible to purchase a specified amount of any
JCC Shares offered pursuant to paragraphs 9.01, 9.04 or 9.09. JCC shall also
be permitted, in the discretion of its Board of Directors to sell to its
employees, other than Thomas H. Bailey, any JCC Shares acquired by JCC
pursuant to this Article IX, at a price no less than the price at which it
acquired such shares, on such terms as the Board of Directors of JCC may deem
appropriate. Each such JCC employee so purchasing any JCC Shares shall
thereafter (subject to the provisions of paragraph 9.12) be deemed to be a
Shareholder of JCC, with the same restrictions on transfer of his JCC Shares
and entitled to the same rights and obligations as the Remaining Shareholders
of JCC under the provisions of this Article IX, and shall be required at the
time of purchase to sign a written agreement to that effect.

     9.11	During such time as any Remaining Shareholder of JCC holds any
JCC Shares, neither KCSI nor any of the Remaining Shareholders of JCC shall
cause JCC to transfer or otherwise dispose of any JCC Shares held by JCC to
anyone other than KCSI, the Remaining Shareholders of JCC, or JCC's
employees, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

     9.12	At such time as any Shareholder of JCC no longer holds any shares
of JCC, he shall cease to be a Shareholder of JCC with the rights and
obligations conferred upon Shareholders of JCC by the provisions of this
Article IX and Article X.

     9.13	The closing of any purchase of JCC Shares made pursuant to this
Article IX shall take place as the parties to such sale may agree, within
thirty days after the date of acceptance of an offer to sell, the exercise of
an option to purchase, or the incurring of an obligation to  purchase,
pursuant to this Article IX. At each such closing, the selling Shareholders
of JCC shall deliver certificates representing the JCC Shares being sold and
KCSI shall deliver payment for such shares in the manner provided in
paragraph 3.02.

     9.14	No purchase by KCSI pursuant to the provisions of this Article IX
shall in any way affect the obligation and right of KCSI to purchase JCC
Shares from the Shareholders of JCC or their permitted purchasers under
paragraphs 9.01 and 9.02 in accordance with the provisions of Article I.

     9.15	If after KCSI acquires 80% or more of the JCC Shares, KCSI
determines to sell all of its shares of JCC for cash, stock or other
consideration, the then owners of the JCC Shares not owned by KCSI shall at
KCSI's request, sell their shares of JCC to KCSI or to KCSI's designee at the
price which shall be the greater of $1.6373 per share, fifteen times the Net
After-Tax Earnings per share of JCC for the fiscal year immediately preceding
the year of such sale or the consideration to be received by KCSI in such
transaction, such sale to occur at such time and place and in such manner as
KCSI shall reasonably request.

                                      ARTICLE X

                          ADVERSE CHANGE IN OWNERSHIP OF KCSI

     10.01	If, after the Closing Date but prior to the time that KCSI owns
80% of the JCC Shares, there is an adverse change in ownership of KCSI (as
hereinafter defined), the Remaining Shareholders of JCC other than KCSI shall
have the option in the manner provided in this Article X either:

          (a)	to purchase from KCSI all JCC Shares acquired by KCSI; or

          (b)	to require KCSI to purchase from them all the JCC Shares
still owned by them, provided the condition precedent contained in paragraph
8.10 of this Agreement shall be met or waived by KCSI prior to such purchase.

     10.02	Any sale of JCC Shares which occurs pursuant to this Article X
shall be at a price per share equal to fifteen times the Net After-Tax
Earnings per share of JCC for the fiscal year ending immediately after the
adverse change in ownership giving rise to such sale, or $1.6373, whichever
is greater.

     10.03	If notice is served upon KCSI in accordance with paragraph 10.05
that the holders of a majority of the JCC Shares other than KCSI desire to
purchase shares from KCSI pursuant to paragraph 10.01(a), KCSI shall sell to
the JCC Shareholders, and the JCC Shareholders shall purchase from KCSI, all
of KCSI's JCC Shares on a pro rata basis according to the proportion that
each such purchasing Shareholder's holding in JCC bears to all such
purchasing Shareholders' holdings in JCC. Any JCC Shareholder who does not
purchase from KCSI his pro rata portion of KCSI's JCC Shares in accordance
with this paragraph shall sell all his JCC Shares to the other Shareholders
of JCC other than KCSI and such other Shareholders of JCC shall purchase such
JCC Shares of such JCC Shareholder and of KCSI on the same pro rata basis.
Until KCSI has acquired the JCC Shares to be acquired pursuant to Article I,
KCSI shall not transfer, dispose of, or in any way encumber any JCC Shares
acquired by it in any manner which would prevent it from complying with a
notice served under this paragraph 10.03.

     10.04	If notice is served upon KCSI in accordance with paragraph 10.05
that the holders of a majority of the JCC Shares other than KCSI desire to
sell to KCSI in accordance with paragraph 10.01(b), KCSI shall purchase from
the Shareholders of JCC, and each such other Shareholder of JCC shall sell to
KCSI, any and all JCC Shares not owned by KCSI.

     10.05	Written notice of a purchase or sale to occur pursuant to
paragraph 10.03 or 10.04 shall have been received by KCSI no more than six
months after the JCC Shareholders are notified by KCSI of the change in
ownership of KCSI. Such notice shall be signed by the holders of a majority
of the JCC Shares held by other than KCSI and shall state the date upon which
the Shareholders of JCC were notified by KCSI of the change in ownership.

     10.06	For purposes of this Article X, "adverse change in ownership of
KCSI" shall mean a transfer of 25% or more of KCSI's voting stock outstanding
at the time of such transfer to one person, or to an identifiable group of
persons acting in concert, not presently controlling KCSI, which in the
reasonable judgment of the holders of a majority of the JCC Shares held at
that time by other than KCSI will have an adverse effect upon JCC or its
operations.

     10.07	The closing of any purchase or sale of JCC Shares to occur
pursuant to this Article X shall take place as the parties to such purchase
or sale may agree, within 30 days of the date upon which KCSI receives notice
of the purchase or sale in accordance with paragraph 10.05, or within 30 days
after the date upon which the applicable Net After-Tax Earnings of JCC shall
be determined, whichever is later. At any such closing, the Remaining
Shareholders of JCC shall deliver certificates representing the JCC Shares
being sold and KCSI shall deliver payment for such shares, or vice versa as
the case may be, in the manner provided in paragraph 3.02.

                                       ARTICLE XI

                                CONTINUITY OF MANAGEMENT

     11.01	The parties hereto have agreed that the present management of JCC
shall continue to operate the business of JCC, including the business of JMC
prior to the merger of JMC into JCC, of providing investment advice and
management services to Janus Fund, as hereinafter provided. So long as Thomas
H. Bailey is a holder of at least 5% of the shares of JCC and continues to be
employed as President of JCC, (i) he shall continue to establish and
implement policy with respect to the investment advisory and portfolio
management activity of JCC, (ii) without his consent, KCSI shall not cause
JCC to implement, or impose on the management of JCC any policies, conditions
or restrictions regarding the policy referred to in (i) other than those
which were in place at November 15, 1983, and (iii) any changes in management
philosophy, style or approach influencing the management of JCC with respect
to the policy referred to in (i) shall be mutually agreed to by him and by
KCSI. In furtherance of this objective, so long as Thomas H. Bailey is a
holder of at least 5% of the shares of JCC and continues to be employed as
President of JCC, KCSI agrees to vote its JCC Shares to elect directors of
JCC, at least a majority of whom shall be selected by Thomas H. Bailey,
subject to KCSI's approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld. Immediately following the merger provided for in paragraph 1.07 the
Board of Directors of JCC shall consist of the persons whose names appear on
Exhibit 11.01 attached hereto. Each of the preceding provisions set forth  in
this paragraph is expressly conditioned, however, upon such management and
Thomas H. Bailey continuing to perform their respective duties with
reasonable care and in a manner which is consistent with past practice and
not contrary to the best interests of JCC.

                                    ARTICLE XII

                              DISTRIBUTION OF DIVIDENDS

shall cause JCC, within four months after the end of each fiscal year of JCC,
to declare and distribute dividends to the shareholders of JCC (including
KCSI) in an amount equal to 90% of the Net After-Tax Earnings of JCC for each
such fiscal year.  The record date for such dividends for the fiscal years
ended October 31, 1985, 1986, and 1987 shall be immediately prior to the date
that the purchases of JCC Shares by KCSI pursuant to paragraphs 1.03, 1.04
and 1.05, respectively, are made.

                                      ARTICLE XIII

     13.01	Until the Closing Date, KCSI shall hold in strict confidence all
confidential information of whatever type or form which it obtains concerning
JCC, JMC or Janus Fund, and shall not use or disclose such information to
anyone other than such officers, employees and representatives of JCC and
KCSI as may be necessary or advisable to reasonably fulfill the purposes of
this Agreement, except as such information was public knowledge at the time
it was obtained, or became public knowledge thereafter other than by a breach
of this provision by KCSI, and except as may be necessary or advisable in
connection with the application for approvals or rulings from, or filing
reports or tax returns with, such governmental authorities as KCSI deems
necessary or advisable.

     13.02	If for any reason the purchase of shares of JMC and JCC provided
for in paragraph 1.01 does not occur on or before June 30, 1984, or such
later date to which the Closing Date may be extended pursuant to paragraph
3.01, or if before KCSI acquires the JCC Shares to be acquired under Article
I, the Shareholders of JCC elect to repurchase the JCC Shares pursuant to
Article X, KCSI shall cause all confidential information concerning JCC, JMC
or Janus Fund of whatever type or form obtained in connection with the
negotiation and performance of this Agreement, which information was not
public knowledge at the time it was obtained by KCSI, or became public
knowledge thereafter other than by a breach of this provision by KCSI, to
continue being treated confidentially, as provided in paragraph 13.01, and to
the extent practicable, shall cause all copies of documents containing such
information to be returned to JCC, and KCSI shall not use, or knowingly
permit others to use, any such information in any manner.

                                     ARTICLE XIV

                            COVENANT OF NON-SOLICITATION

     14.01	Simultaneously with the purchase of shares of JMC and JCC by KCSI
provided for in paragraph 1.01, Thomas H. Bailey shall execute and deliver to
KCSI a covenant of non-solicitation, by which shall be prohibited, for a
period of one year from the date of his notice of termination from the
employment of JCC, from soliciting any client who has an account being
managed or advised by JCC at the date of his notice of termination, other
than the Taurus Partnership and the Cerberus Partnership; provided that, if
such notice of termination is given before October 31, 1987 such prohibition
shall be for a period of three years or until that date which shall be 1 year
after October 31, 1987, whichever is sooner. Such covenant of nonsolicitation
shall not apply in the event that Mr. Bailey's employment by JCC is
terminated concurrently with or following a notice to KCSI pursuant to
paragraph 10.05 hereof of a purchase of KCSI's JCC Shares pursuant to
paragraph 10.01(a).

                                      ARTICLE XV

cause or permit JCC to impose, any unfair burden upon Janus Fund as a result
of the transactions contemplated herein, or any expressed or implied terms,
conditions, or understandings applicable thereto, and specifically shall not
cause or permit any arrangement, during the two-year period after the Closing
Date, whereby JCC or any interested person of JCC (as that term is defined in
the Investment Company Act of 1940) receives or is entitled to receive any
compensation directly or indirectly

     (i)   from any person in connection with the purchase or sale of
           securities or other property to, from, or on behalf of Janus
           Fund, other than bona fide ordinary compensation as principal
           underwriter for such company; or

           investment advisory or other services;

Closing Date, any condition precedent to closing set forth herein for the

have occurred on or before June 30, 1984, or such later date as may have been
agreed upon by KCSI and the Shareholders of JCC; or (iv) by KCSI or the
Shareholders of JCC, respectively, if a material representation or warranty

or in any certificate, schedule or document furnished to KCSI or the
Shareholders of JCC, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement is untrue in
any material respect, or KCSI or the Shareholders of JCC, respectively, shall
have defaulted in material respect in the performance of any material
obligations of this Agreement.

               1.04	Payment for the JCC Shares purchased by KCSI
               pursuant to paragraph 1.03 shall be made on an
               installment basis, as follows: As soon after each of
               December 31, 1985, 1986 and 1987 as the amount of Net
               After-Tax Earnings of JCC for each of the fiscal
               years then ended has been determined as provided in
               paragraph 2.04, but not later than 30 days after the
               date of each such determination, KCSI shall deliver
               to each of the Selling Shareholders of JCC a
               certified or bank check in an amount equal to the sum
               of (i) a principal payment in the amount of fifteen
               times the Net After-Tax Earnings per share of JCC
               times a number equal to one-third the number of
               shares sold by each such Shareholder of JCC in
               accordance with paragraph 1.03, and (ii) an amount
               equal to interest computed at a rate of 14.75% per
               annum from the later of January 1, 1985 or the date
               of the last previous installment payment on the total
               principal amount of the obligation outstanding at the
               date of such payment (calculated by adding the
               principal amount due at such installment as
               calculated above, plus the principal amount that
               would be due in future installments if the Net
               After-Tax Earnings of JCC is unchanged at the time
               that future principal payments are calculated).

                    The interest payable with respect to each
               principal payment shall be based upon the actual
               amount of such principal payment, although with
               respect to the second and third installments, the
               interest payable before the principal payment is
               calculated can only be estimated as provided above.
               At the time of the second and third installment
               payments provided for hereby, an adjustment shall be
               made for any overpayment or underpayment of interest
               in the previous year or years with respect to that
               principal payment, which has occurred as a result of
               the Net After-Tax Earnings of JCC for the then
               current year not being the same as for the previous
               year, as was assumed in the previous year's interest
               calculation."

entirety.

               other consideration, the then owners of the JCC
               Shares not owned by KCSI shall at KCSI's request,
               sell their shares of JCC to KCSI or to KCSI's
               designee at the price which shall be the greater of
