 Exhibit 10.14 
 UNSECURED REVOLVING OPERATING NOTE 
 AMENDED AND
RESTATED 
  

			
	$36,750,000	  	Note Dated: May 19, 2006
		
	Due Date: March 1, 2007, unless extended	  	Johnston, Iowa

 This Amended and Restated Unsecured Revolving Operating Note replaces and amends a certain
Unsecured Revolving Operating Note in the amount of $40,000,000, dated March 15, 2002, as governed by a Master Loan Agreement, dated February 15, 2001, as the same may be modified from time to time. 
 FOR VALUE RECEIVED, FC STONE, L.L.C., an Iowa corporation of West Des Moines, Iowa (the “Borrower”), promises to pay to the order of
Deere Credit, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Lender”), at Lender’s office at such place as Lender may designate in writing, the principal sum of Thirty-Six Million Seven Hundred and Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($36,750,000),
together with interest as provided in this Note, all in lawful money of the United States of America. So long as no event of default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower may receive advances at any time until the Due Date. All amounts, which
are repaid, may be readvanced. The unpaid principal balance of this promissory note (“Note”) shall bear interest computed upon the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed in a quarter, at a rate of interest (the
“Effective Interest Rate”) which is equal to 35/100 of 1% (0.35%) under the Prime rate or base rate of interest established by Citibank, N.A. of New York, New York (“Citibank”) as its base rate (the “Index”), as such
Index may vary from time to time. Borrower understands that the Effective Interest Rate payable to Lender under this Note shall be determined by reference to the Index, and not by reference to the actual rate of interest charged by Citibank to any
particular borrower(s). If the Index shall be increased or decreased, the Effective Interest Rate under this Note shall be increased or decreased by the same amount, effective the first day of the month following the date of the change in the Index.

 If neither Borrower nor Lender has notified the other party of its intention to terminate this Note by February 1 of any year, the
Note shall be automatically extended for another one year term. 
 The purpose of this loan is to fund margin accounts. 
 This note shall be unsecured. 
 Payments
shall be paid to Lender as follows: 
  

	 	1.	Borrower shall make quarterly payments of interest only on each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 during the term of the Note;

  

	 	2.	On the Due Date all remaining outstanding amounts of principal, interest and late charges shall be due and payable. 

 In consideration of the loan commitment, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Lender a commitment fee on the average daily unused portion of the loan
commitment at the rate of .15% (15 basis points) per annum (calculated on a 360-day basis), payable quarterly in arrears by the 20th day 

 
following each calendar quarter. Such fee shall be payable for each quarter (or portion thereof) occurring during the original or any extended term of the
loan commitment. 
 Borrower expressly assumes all risks of loss or delay in the delivery of any payments made by mail and no course of
conduct or dealing shall affect Borrower’s assumption of these risks. The Note may be prepaid, in full or in part at any time without penalty. All payments shall be applied first to late charges, then to interest and finally to principal.

 Upon the occurrence of any event of default, as described in the Master Loan Agreement, dated as of February 15, 2001, between Lender
and Borrower, as the same may be modified from time to time (the “Master Loan Agreement”, the Lender may exercise any of its remedies described in the Master Loan Agreement or the unpaid principal balance of this Note shall bear interest
at a rate which is two percent (2%) greater than the Effective Interest Rate otherwise applicable. This Note shall be deemed to be “Note” within the meaning of Section 2 of the Master Loan Agreement. If any payment under this
Note is not paid within ten (10) days after the date due, then, at the option of the Lender, a late charge of not more than five cents ($0.05) for each dollar of the installment past due may be charged by Lender. 
 Acceptance by Lender of any payment in any amount less than the amount then due shall be deemed an acceptance on account only, and Borrower’s
failure to pay the entire amount due shall be and continue to be an event of default. The liability of the Borrower under this Note shall be absolute and unconditional, without regard to the liability of any other party. The laws of the State of
Iowa hereunder shall govern all rights and obligations.

	2.	PRINCIPAL 

 FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the Borrower
promises to pay to the order of RZB, ON DEMAND, the Principal Amount of this Note specified in Section 1 or, if less, the then-outstanding principal amount of all loans (each a “Loan” and collectively, the “Loans”) made to
the Borrower by RZB pursuant to the Loan Documents. In no event shall the maturity date of any Loan be more than 180 days after the date such Loan is made. 
 Each Loan shall initially be designated as a “Base Rate Loan” unless not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) three Business Days prior to the making of such Loan the Borrower shall have given written
notice to RZB that such Loan (or a portion thereof) shall initially be designated as a “Eurodollar Loan” and setting forth the Interest Period therefor. The Borrower may also from time to time redesignate all or a portion of any Base Rate
Loan as a Eurodollar Loan or any Eurodollar Loan as a Base Rate Loan by giving RZB written notice of such redesignation not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) three Business Days prior to such redesignation, provided that a Eurodollar Loan
may be redesignated as a Base Rate Loan only on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto. Each notice of initial designation and redesignation shall be irrevocable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Loan (or portion thereof) shall be
initially designated as a Eurodollar Loan, and no Base Rate Loan (or portion thereof) shall be redesignated as a Eurodollar Loan (i) if such Eurodollar Loan would be in an amount less than the Minimum Eurodollar Amount specified in
Section 1 or (ii) if, as a result thereof, there shall be in effect at such time more than three separate Interest Periods. 
  

 1 

 The Borrower agrees that, if it shall fail to repay the Loans at maturity (whether on demand, by
acceleration or otherwise) and all or a portion of the Loans at such maturity are being maintained as Eurodollar Loans, RZB, without limiting its rights hereunder, may at any time on or after such maturity redesignate all or any such Eurodollar
Loans as a Base Rate Loan. Upon any such redesignation, RZB shall notify the Borrower thereof. 
  

	3.	INTEREST 

 Base Rate
Loans.    The Borrower promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Base Rate Loan (after as well as before judgment) from the date of the making of, or the redesignation of a Eurodollar Loan as, such Base
Rate Loan until maturity (whether on demand, by acceleration or otherwise), or redesignated as a Eurodollar Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate Margin specified in Section 1 plus the Base Lending Rate from time to time in effect,
such interest to be payable on the last Business Day of each calendar month and at such maturity. 
 Eurodollar
Loans.    The Borrower promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Loan (after as well as before judgment) from the date of the making of, or the redesignation of a Base Rate Loan (or portion
thereof) as, such Eurodollar Loan until maturity (whether on demand, by acceleration or otherwise), or redesignated as a Base Rate Loan, at a rate per annum which, during each Interest Period applicable thereto, shall be equal to the Eurodollar
Margin specified in Section 1 plus the Quoted Rate for such Interest Period. Such interest shall be payable on the last day of each Interest Period; provided that if any Interest Period in respect of a Eurodollar Loan is longer than three
months, such interest prior to maturity shall be paid on the last Business Day of each three-month interval within such Interest Period as well as on the last day of such Interest Period. 
 Overdue Amounts.    Notwithstanding the immediately preceding two paragraphs, the Borrower shall also pay interest at a rate
per annum which shall be the greater of (i) 2% plus the Base Rate Margin plus the Base Lending Rate from time to time in effect, or (ii) 2% in excess of the rate which would otherwise be applicable pursuant to the terms hereof, on any
principal of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by law, on any interest or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder which shall not be paid in full when due (whether on demand, by acceleration or otherwise) from such due date until paid in
full (after as well as before judgment), such interest to be payable on demand. 
 Calculations.    All interest
shall be computed on the basis of the number of days actually elapsed in a 360-day year. 
 Definitions. 
 The term “Interest Period,” when used with respect to a Eurodollar Loan, means (i) initially, the period commencing on the date of
such Eurodollar Loan, and (ii) thereafter, each of the successive periods occurring while such Eurodollar Loan is outstanding, with such successive periods commencing on the same day as the last day of the immediately preceding period. The
duration of an Interest Period commencing prior to maturity (by demand, acceleration or otherwise) shall be: 
  

	 	3.a.	one of the periods specified as Available Interest Periods for Eurodollar Loans in Section 1, as selected by the Borrower not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) three
Business Days prior to the commence of such Interest Period, or 

  

	 	3.b.	absent a timely selection by the Borrower, the shortest of the periods specified as Available Interest Periods for Eurodollar Loans in Section 1. 

 The duration of an Interest Period commencing on or after the due date for full payment hereunder (whether on demand, by acceleration or otherwise) shall
be such period as RZB may reasonably select. Any Interest Period which would otherwise expire on a day other than a Business Day shall be (i) extended to the next following Business Day or (ii) if the next following Business Day is in a
new calendar month, shortened to the next preceding Business Day. 
  

 2 

 The term “Quoted Rate,” when used with respect to an Interest Period for a Eurodollar
Loan, means the quotient of (i) the offered rate quoted by The Chase Manhattan Bank (the “Bank”) in the Interbank Eurodollar market in New York or London, England on or about 11:00 a.m. (New York or London time, as the case may
be) two Business Days prior to such Interest Period for U.S. dollar deposits of an amount comparable to the principal balance of such Eurodollar Loan and for a period comparable to such Interest Period, divided by (ii) one minus the Reserve
Percentage. For purpose of this definition, (a) ”Reserve Percentage” shall mean with respect to any Interest Period, the percentage which is in effect on the first day of such Interest Period under Regulation D as the
maximum reserve requirements for member banks of the Federal Reserve System in New York City with deposits comparable in amount to those of the Bank against Eurocurrency Liabilities. The Quoted Rate for the applicable period shall be adjusted
automatically on and as of the effective date of any change in the applicable Reserve Percentage; (b) ”Regulation D” shall mean Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, as it may be amended
from time to time; and (c) ”Eurocurrency Liabilities” has the meaning assigned to that term in Regulation D, as in effect from time to time. 
 The term “Business Day” means any day on which banks are open for dealings by and between banks in U.S. dollar deposits in the interbank Eurodollar market in New York City and London, England, other
than a Saturday, Sunday, or any day which shall be in London, England or New York City a legal holiday or a day on which banking institutions are authorized by law to close. 
 The term “Base Lending Rate” means, for any day, the higher of (i) the rate announced by the Bank from time to time at its
principal office in New York, New York as its prime rate for domestic (United States) commercial loans in effect on such day and (ii) the Federal Funds Rate in effect on such day plus  1/2%. (Such Base Lending Rate is not necessarily intended to be the lowest rate of interest charged by the Bank in connection with extensions of credit.) Each
change in the Base Lending Rate shall result in a corresponding change in the interest rate and such change shall be effective on the effective date of such change in the Base Lending Rate. 
 The term “Federal Funds Rate” means, for any day, the overnight federal funds rate in New York City, as published for such day (or, if
such day is not a New York Business Day, for the next preceding New York Business Day) in the Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519) or any successor publication, or if such rate is not so published for any day which is a New York
Business Day, the average of the quotations for such day on overnight federal funds transactions in New York City received by the Bank from three federal funds brokers of recognized standing selected by the Bank. 
  

	4.	ADDITIONAL PAYMENTS 

 If any event shall occur
(whether in the form of reserve requirements not included in the computation of the Quoted Rate, exchange control regulations, governmental charges or changes in the interbank Eurodollar market or the position of any financial institution that
provides financing to RZB (a “funding source”) in such market or otherwise) which shall result in RZB or such funding source not receiving interest with respect to any Eurodollar Loan at the effective rate of the Eurodollar Margin (plus 2%
after demand) in excess of the costs incurred by RZB or such funding source in making, funding or maintaining such Eurodollar Loan, then the Borrower shall pay to RZB, upon demand, such additional amounts as may be necessary to compensate RZB
or such funding source, as the case may be, for any such deficiency or reduction. Each demand for compensation pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be accompanied by a certificate of RZB in reasonable detail setting forth the computation of such
compensation (including the reason therefor), which certificate shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. 
  

	5.	PREPAYMENTS 

 The Borrower agrees that it shall
have no right to repay all or any portion of a Eurodollar Loan except on the last day of an Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Loan, and then only if RZB has received written 

  

 3 

 
notice of such repayment not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) three Business Days prior to such repayment; any such notice shall be irrevocable.
The Borrower will have the right to repay all or any portion of a Base Rate Loan only if RZB has been notified prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the day of any repayment. All partial repayments shall be made in an amount not less than the
Minimum Repayment Amount. All repayments shall be in an amount not less than the Minimum Repayment Amount. All repayments pursuant to this paragraph shall be accompanied by the payment of all accrued interest on the principal amount so paid.

 Without limiting the foregoing, the Borrower agrees that if for any reason any Eurodollar Loan (or any portion thereof) is not made after
RZB or its funding source has arranged funding therefor, or, if for any reason (including as a result of demand) any Eurodollar Loan is repaid on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period therefor, the Borrower shall pay to RZB, upon
demand, any unrecovered expenses or losses (including losses resulting from the re-employment of funds) incurred by RZB or its funding source as the result of such failure to borrow or repayment. RZB’s determination as to additional amounts due
under this paragraph shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. 
  

	6.	ALL PAYMENTS 

 Each payment by the Borrower
pursuant to this Note shall be made prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date due and shall be made without set-off or counterclaim to RZB at such account as RZB shall designate, or in the absence of such designation to RZB at its office,
presently located at 1133 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10036, or as RZB may otherwise direct and in such amounts as may be necessary in order that all such payments (after withholding for or on account of any present or future taxes, levies,
imposts, duties or other similar charges of whatsoever nature imposed by any government or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof, other than any tax on or measured by the net income of RZB pursuant to the income tax laws of the
jurisdiction where RZB’s principal or lending office is located) shall not be less than the amounts otherwise specified to be paid under this Note. Each such payment shall be made in lawful currency of the United States of America and in
immediately available funds. If the stated due date of any payment required hereunder is other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and interest at the applicable rate shall accrue thereon during such
extension. 
  

	7.	REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 

 The Borrower
represents and warrants that all acts, filings, conditions and things required to be done and performed and to have happened (including, without limitation, the obtaining of necessary governmental approvals) precedent to the issuance of this Note to
constitute this Note the duly authorized, legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower, enforceable in accordance with its items, have been done, performed and have happened in due and strict compliance with all applicable laws. 

 

	8.	DEFAULT 

 Without limiting the right of RZB to
demand payment of the Loans evidenced hereby at any time in its sole discretion, if any of the following events shall occur: default in payment of any amount due hereunder to the holder hereof, whether on demand or otherwise; suspension or
liquidation by the Borrower of its usual business or suspension or expulsion of the Borrower from any exchange; calling of a meeting of creditors; assignment by the Borrower for the benefit of creditors; dissolution, bulk sale or notice thereof
effected or given by the Borrower; creation of a security interest in any assets of the Borrower which are or shall be subject to liens granted to the holder hereof by the Borrower without consent of the holder hereof; insolvency of any kind,
attachment, distraint, garnishment, levy, execution, judgment, application for or appointment of a receiver or custodian, filing of a voluntary or involuntary petition under any provision of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or amendments thereto, of, by or
against the Borrower or any property or rights of the Borrower; filing of a petition or institution of any proceeding by or against the Borrower for any relief under any 

  

 4 

 
bankruptcy or insolvency laws or any laws relating to the relief of debtors, readjustment of indebtedness, reorganizations, compositions or extensions; any
governmental authority or any court at the instance of any governmental authority shall take possession of any substantial part of the property of the Borrower or shall assume control over the affairs or operations of the Borrower; any statement,
representation or warranty made by the Borrower in any document, agreement or financial statement delivered to RZB shall prove to be false in any material respect when made; failure of the Borrower or any other party thereto to comply with any term
of any of the Loan Documents; failure of the Borrower, on request, to furnish to RZB any financial information, or to permit inspection by RZB of any books or records; any change in, or discovery with regard to, the condition or affairs of the
Borrower which, in RZB’s opinion, increases its credit risk, or if RZB for any other reason deems itself insecure; then, the indebtedness evidenced by this Note, and all accrued interest thereon shall become absolute, due and payable without
demand or notice to the Borrower. Upon default in the due payment of this Note, or whenever the same or any installment of principal or interest hereof shall become due in accordance with any of the provisions hereof (whether on demand or
otherwise), RZB may, but shall not be required to, exercise any or all of its rights and remedies, whether existing by contract, law or otherwise, with respect to any collateral security delivered in respect of the indebtedness evidenced hereby.

  

	9.	MISCELLANEOUS 

 This Note is delivered pursuant to,
and entitled to the benefits of, the Loan Documents. 
 The Loans and principal repayments thereof, all designations of a Loan (or any
portion thereof) as a Base Rate Loan or a Eurodollar Loan, and the interest rate and Interest Period applicable to each Eurodollar Loan may be recorded on the records of RZB and, prior to any transfer of, or any action to collect, this Note, the
outstanding principal amount of each Loan shall be endorsed on this Note, together with the date of such endorsement. Any such recordation or endorsement shall constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information so recorded or
endorsed (provided, however, that the failure of RZB to record any of the foregoing shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay all the Loans (including interest thereon) and its other obligations hereunder and under
the Loan Documents). The Bank may charge any account of the Borrower with the Bank for amounts payable under this Note. 
 Each payment of
principal of, or interest on, the Loans shall constitute an acknowledgement of the indebtedness of the Borrower under the Loan Documents and this Note. The Borrower: 
  

	 	a.	waives presentment, demand, protest and other notice of any kind in connection with this Note, and 

  

	 	b.	agrees to pay to the holder hereof, on demand, all costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) incurred in connection with the enforcement and collection of this Note.

 THIS NOTE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT REGARD TO
PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW), BUT THIS SHALL NOT LIMIT THE RATE OF INTEREST WHICH MAY BE CHARGED BY RZB UNDER OTHER APPLICABLE LAW. 
 The
Borrower hereby agrees that ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST THE BORROWER WITH RESPECT TO THIS NOTE MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK OR OF THE UNITES STATES OF AMERICA FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF
NEW YORK as RZB may elect, and by execution and delivery hereof, the Borrower accepts and consents to, for itself and in respect to its property, generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and agrees that such
jurisdiction shall be exclusive, unless waived by RZB in writing, with respect to any action or proceeding brought by it against RZB and any questions relating to usury. Nothing herein shall limit the right of RZB to bring 

  

 5 

 
proceedings against the Borrower in the courts of any other jurisdiction. Service of process out of any such courts may be made by mailing copies thereof by
registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the Borrower at its address for notices as specified herein and will become effective 30 days after such mailing. The Borrower agrees that Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the General Obligations
Law of the State of New York shall apply to this Note and, to the maximum extent permitted by law, waives any right to stay or to dismiss any action or proceeding brought before said courts on the basis of forum non conveniens. 
 AFTER REVIEW THIS PROVISION SPECIFICALLY WITH ITS RESPECTIVE COUNSEL, EACH OF THE BORROWER AND RZB HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES
ANY AND ALL RIGHTS IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED ON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS NOTE OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN), OR ACTIONS OF
THE BORROWER OR RZB. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR RZB MAKING THE LOANS TO THE BORROWER. 
 Nothing contained in this Note shall
be deemed to establish or require the payment of a rate of interest in excess of the maximum rate permitted by applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the amount of interest payment for any interest payment period ending on any
interest payment date calculated in accordance with the provisions of this Note (said amount, the “Calculated Interest”) exceeds the amount of interest that would be payable for such interest payment period had interest for such
interest payment period been calculated at the Maximum Rate, there shall be paid on such interest payment date an amount of interest calculated on the basis of the Maximum Rate for such interest payment period. If on any subsequent interest payment
date (i) the Calculated Interest for the interest payment period ending on such subsequent interest payment date (the “Current Interest Period”) is less than the amount of interest that would be payable for such Current
Interest Period had interest for such Current Interest Period been calculated on the basis of the Maximum Rate and (ii) any portion of the excess (if any) of Calculated Interest for any prior interest payment period over interest calculated at
the Maximum Rate for such prior interest payment period (the “Outstanding Interest Amount”) remains unpaid, then on such subsequent interest payment date there shall be paid, as provided herein, additional interest for such Current
Interest Period in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the theretofore unpaid Outstanding Interest Amounts for all prior interest periods or (ii) an amount that, when added to the amount of Calculated Interest payable for such Current
Interest Period, results in the payment of interest for such Current Interest Period at the Maximum Rate. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the
undersigned has caused this Note to be duly executed and delivered by its duly authorized officer(s).
