On April 1, 2009, the Registrant’s Compensation Committee determined that the
performance of the organization in 2008 (as measured by the adjusted operating
ratio) did not meet the criteria established by the Frozen Food Express
Industries, Inc. 2005 Stock Incentive Plan and that no cash bonuses or
restricted stock bonus awards would be paid to the Named Executive Officers, as
indicated in the table below.

              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 Kansas City Life
      Insurance 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.

            

    

     

    
      	
              2.  

            	
              The
      Committee may appoint from its members such committees with such powers as
      it shall determine; may authorize one (1) or more of its number or any
      agent to execute or deliver any instrument or make any payment on its
      behalf; and may utilize counsel, employ agents and provide for such
      clerical and accounting services as it may require in carrying out the
      provisions of the Plan.

            

    

     

    
      	
              3.  

            	
              The

      and at such time or times as it may from time to time
      determine.

              The
      action of a majority of the members expressed from time to time by a vote
      in a meeting or in writing without a meeting shall constitute the 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.

              Subject
      to the limitations of this Plan, the Committee from time to time shall

      of Kansas City Life Insurance Company in respect of any matter hereunder

    Participation in the Plan

     

    
      	
              1.  

            	
              Following
      his or her designation by the Company, a qualified employee may commence
      his or her participation in this Plan as of the first day of the month
      coinciding with or next following such designation, whichever first
      occurs.  He or she shall be notified of his or her eligibility
      from time to time by the Company.

            

    

     

    
      	
              2.  

            	
              An
      eligible employee who desires to participate must execute a Salary and/or
      eligible Bonus reduction agreement in form prescribed by the Company, as
      provided in Section 3 of this Article IV, and the employee shall thereby
      agree to the terms of this Plan and any amendments hereafter
      adopted.

            

    

     

    
      	
              3.  

            	
              Commencing
      December 1, 2008, on or before December 31, 2008 for the subsequent Plan
      Year beginning January 1, 2009, or in the case of a newly eligible
      Participant within thirty (30) days of becoming eligible, each Participant
      may elect to have his or her Salary or eligible Bonus reduced in an amount
      equivalent to one percent (1%) through one hundred percent (100%), and
      said amount shall be withheld by payroll deduction.  Where an
      employee has ceased being eligible to participate in the Plan (other than
      the accrual of earnings), regardless of whether all amounts deferred under
      the Plan have been paid, and subsequently becomes eligible to participate
      in the Plan again, the employee may be treated as being initially eligible
      to participate in the plan if the employee had not been eligible to
      participate in the Plan (other than the accrual of earnings) at any time
      during the twenty-four (24) month period ending on the date the employee
      again becomes eligible to participate in the Plan.  For each
      Plan Year 2009 and after, Salary and/or eligible Bonus deferral elections
      for the following Plan Year must be made by December 31st
      of the year preceding the Plan Year and shall be irrevocable for the
      entire Plan Year.  Deferral elections shall remain in effect in
      subsequent years unless terminated or modified by the Participant and are
      irrevocable during the Plan Year.  These amounts shall be the
      Participants’ Deferred Compensation.  The credits herein may
      sometimes be referred to as the Participant’s “Elective Deferral
      Account”.

      deferral election up until the deadline for submitting his or her or
      election, by December 31st
      of the year preceding the Plan
Year.

      December 1, 2008, on or before December 31, 2008 for the subsequent Plan
      Year beginning January 1, 2009, each Participant may elect to make changes
      to his or her distribution method on amounts deferred before December 31,
      2008, specifically the time and form of payments on the entire balance of
      his or her respective account in a fashion allowable under this Plan and
      as described below, including all credits and earnings to his or her
      respective account through December 31, 2008, provided that (a) such new
      election is consistent with the other provisions of this Plan, (b) the
      election applies only to amounts that would not otherwise be paid in the
      calendar year in which the new election is made, and (c) the election does
      not cause an amount to be paid in the year in which the new election is
      made.

              Commencing
      by December 31, 2008 for the subsequent Plan Year beginning
      January 1, 2009, or in the case of a newly eligible Participant
      within thirty (30) days of becoming eligible, each Participant may
      determine the time and form of payment of distribution(s) on future
      credits.  Where a Participant has ceased being eligible to
      participate in the Plan (other than the accrual of earnings), regardless
      of whether all amounts deferred under the Plan have been paid, and
      subsequently becomes eligible to participate in the Plan again, the
      Participant may be treated as being initially eligible to participate in
      the Plan if the Participant had not been eligible to participate in the
      Plan (other than the accrual of earnings) at any time during the
      twenty-four (24) month period ending on the date the Participant again
      becomes eligible to participate in the Plan.  Specifically, by
      identifying which percentage of new credits to apply to each time and form
      of distribution method, the total of which must equal one hundred percent
      (100%), the Participant may select one (1), two (2) or three (3) methods
      of distribution on new credits.  The one (1), two (2) or three
      (3) methods of distribution selected by the Participant shall only be
      changed in accordance with the subsequent change rules as described
      below.  The Participant may select time and form of payment as
      follows:

              The
      Participant may select payment at Separation from Service, or the
      Participant may select payment at a specified time in a subsequent Plan
      Year.

            

    

     

    
      	
              ii.

              For
      a Participant to make subsequent deferral election, including a delay in a
      payment or a change in the form of payment previously selected, such
      election will take effect twelve (12) months after the date on which the
      subsequent election is made.  Except in the cases of payment on
      account of the occurrence of Disability, death or Unforeseeable Emergency,
      payments with respect to which such election is made must be deferred for
      a period of not less than five (5) years from the date such payment would
      have otherwise have been paid, or in the case of an annuity, five (5)
      years from the date the first amount was scheduled to be
      paid.  Any election related to a payment at a specified time
      must be made not less than twelve (12) months before the date the payment
      is scheduled to be paid, or in the case of an annuity, twelve (12) months
      before the date the first amount was scheduled to be
  paid.

            

    

     

    
      	
              10.  

            	
              If
      no alternative time or form of payment upon distribution is selected as
      allowed under this Plan, all distributions provided or pursuant to this
      Plan shall be in the form of cash in a lump sum payment at Separation from
      Service, or in the case of a Participant who meets the definition of a
      “Specified Employee” as defined in Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i), upon six
      (6) months after Separation from Service.  If a 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 a beneficiary
      designation has been provided.

            

    

     

    
      	
              11.  

            	
              The
      Participant may cancel his or her deferral election due to Unforeseeable
      Emergency upon approval by the Administrative Committee.  The
      Participant may also cancel his or her deferral election where such
      cancellation occurs by the later of the end of the taxable year of the
      Participant or the 15th
      day of the third month following the date the Participant incurs a
      Disability recognized by the Administrative Committee under the terms of
      this Plan.

              As
      more fully set forth in Article VI, the Company shall maintain
      hypothetical accounts reflecting the amount of Salary or eligible Bonus
      withheld from an individual pursuant to this Plan (“Elective Deferral
      Account”), and the balance in each Participant’s Elective Deferral Account
      shall be fully vested at all times.

            

    

     

    
      	
              13.  

            	
              The
      value of a Participant’s Elective Deferral Account as provided in
      Article VI shall be distributed to him or her within a period of
      ninety (90) days following his or her Payment
      Event.  Distributions to an employee identified as a Specified
      Employee may not be made before the date that is six (6) months after the
      date of Separation from Service or, if earlier, the date of
      death.

            

    

     

    
      	
              14.  

            	
              In
      the event of a distribution due to Disability, death, Unforeseeable
      Emergency or Change in Control or Effective Control of the Company, the
      Participant will receive distribution in cash in lump sum form, regardless
      of if the Payment Event of Disability, death, Unforeseeable Emergency or
      Change in Control or Effective Control occurs prior to the originally
      selected payment date and regardless of the form previously
      selected.  When a distribution is made to a Specified Employee
      due Disability, death, Unforeseeable Emergency or Change in Control or
      effective control of the Company, the payment shall not be delayed six (6)
      months.

value of an investment fund shall be determined by the Plan Administrator and it
shall represent the fair market value of all securities or other property held
in the respective investment fund.  A valuation summary of a
Participant’s Elective Deferral Account shall be prepared at least quarterly by
the Plan Administrator.  If any Participant fails to file a
designation he/she shall be deemed to have designated the Fund which, in the
opinion of the Plan Administrator, has the least risk of loss of
principal.

              2.  

            	
              Company
      Credit Account.  A Participant’s Company Credit Account shall be
      valued as if it were invested in Company Stock beginning on the date on
      which treasury stock or cash is transferred by the Company to a trust in
      the event the Company elects to use a grantor (“rabbi”) trust to
      accumulate funds to pay the benefits set forth herein.  The
      valuation of each Participant’s Company Credit Account shall be based on
      the fair market value of the Company Stock on each Valuation
      date.  The fair market value of the Company Stock shall be
      determined based on the closing price of the Company Stock on any
      Valuation date.

            

    

     

    
      	
              3.  

            	
              Changes
      in Investment Allocation.  A Participant may change his or her
      hypothetical investment allocation by submitting a written request to the
      Plan Administrator on such forms as may be required by the Plan
      Administrator or by utilizing an online option to change investment
      allocations, if an online option is made available by the Plan
      Administrator.  Such changes shall become effective as soon as
      administratively feasible after the Plan Administrator receives such
      written or online request.

            

    

     

    
      	
              4.  

            	
              Valuation.  As
      of each Valuation Date, the Account of each Participant under the Plan
      shall be valued at the fair market value of the hypothetical investments
      designated for the purpose of determining income and gains or losses for
      the Account.

            

    

     

    
      	
              5.  

            	
              Funding
      Obligation of the Company.  The Company has no obligation to
      fund any benefits that shall become due under the Plan.  The
      Company has the right, but no obligation, to utilize a grantor ("rabbi")
      trust to assist with its payment obligations.  Benefits are
      payable as they become due irrespective of any actual investments the
      Company may make to meet its obligations.  Neither the Company
      nor any Trustee (in the event the Company elects to use a grantor trust to
      accumulate funds) shall be obligated to purchase or maintain any asset,
      and any reference to investment or investment funds is solely for the
      purpose of computing the value of benefits.  To the extent a
      Participant or any other person acquires a right to receive payments from
      the Company under this Plan, such right shall be no greater than the right
      of any unsecured creditor of the
Company.

      of employment with the Company dating from commencement of employment,
      during which he or she shall complete at least one thousand (1,000) hours
      of employment.  If an employee’s employment with either Kansas
      City Life Insurance Company or one of its affiliated corporations shall be
      terminated, and he or she is immediately employed by any other of such
      affiliated corporations, his or her employment shall be regarded as
      continuous and treated as if under one employer for vesting
      purposes.  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

      any of its affiliated corporations, by reason of death or Normal
      Retirement or Early Retirement as defined herein, the value of his or her
      account shall be one hundred percent (100%) vested upon the Valuation Date
      of the month in which such death or retirement occurs, and shall be
      distributed to him or her within a period of ninety (90) days after the
      Separation from Service occurs, or in the case of a Participant who meets

              Any
      Participant or retired Participant shall have the right to designate a new
      beneficiary at any time by filing with the Company a written request for
      such change, but any such change shall become effective only upon receipt
      of such request by the Company.  Upon receipt by the Company of
      such request, the change shall relate back to and take effect as of the
      date such Participant signs such request whether or not such Participant
      is living at the time the Company receives such
  request.

      such Participant when any payment hereunder shall be payable to the
      beneficiary, then such payment shall be made as follows:  To
      such Participant’s spouse, 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

    Claims
Procedure

     

    
      	
              1.  

            	
              Submitting
      a Claim.  Upon request, the Administrative Committee shall
      provide any Participant or Beneficiary (“Claimant”) with a claim form
      which the Claimant can use to request benefits.  In addition,
      the Committee will consider any written request for benefits or other
      inquiries relating to benefits under the Plan to be a
    claim.

            

    

     

    
      	
              2.  

            	
              Approval
      of Initial Claim.  If a claim for benefits is approved, the
      Committee shall provide the Claimant with written or electronic notice of
      such approval.  The notice shall
  include:

            

    

     

    
      	
              a.  

            	
              the
      amount of benefits to which the Claimant is
  entitled;

            

    

     

    
      	
              b.  

            	
              the
      duration of such benefit;

            

    

     

    
      	
              c.  

            	
              the
      time the benefit is to commence;
and

            

    

     

    
      	
              d.  

            	
              other
      pertinent information concerning the
benefit.

            

    

     

    
      	
              3.  

            	
              Denial
      of Initial Claim.  If a claim for benefits is denied (in whole
      or in part) by the Committee, the Committee shall provide the Claimant
      with written or electronic notification of such denial within ninety (90)
      days after receipt of the claim, unless special circumstances require an
      extension of time for processing the claim.  (See Section 6 for
      the procedures concerning extensions of time.)  The notice of
      denial of the claim shall include:

            

    

     

    
      	
              a.  

            	
              the
      specific reason that the claim was
denied;

            

    

     

    
      	
              b.  

            	
              a
      reference to the specific Plan provisions on which the denial was
      based;

            

    

     

    
      	
              c.  

            	
              a
      description of any additional material or information necessary to perfect
      the claim, and an explanation of why this material or information is
      necessary; and

            

    

     

    
      	
              d.  

            	
              a
      description of the Plan’s appeal procedures and the time limits that apply
      to such procedures, including a statement of the Claimant’s right to bring
      a civil action under ERISA Section 502(a) if the claim is denied on
      appeal.

            

    

     

    The
Claimant (or his or her duly authorized representative) may review pertinent
documents and submit issues and comments in writing to the
Committee.  The Claimant may appeal the denial as set forth in the
next section of this procedure.  If the Claimant fails to appeal such
action to the Board in writing within the prescribed period of time described in
the next section, the Committee’s denial of a claim shall be final, binding and
conclusive.

              4.  

            	
              Filing
      the Appeal.  In the event that a claim is denied (in whole or in
      part), the Claimant may appeal the denial by giving written notice of the
      appeal to the Secretary of the Board of Directors (“Board”) within sixty
      (60) days after the Claimant receives the notice of denial of the
      claim.  At the same time the Claimant submits a notice of
      appeal, the Claimant may also submit written comments, documents, records,
      and other information relating to the claim.  The Board shall
      review and consider this information without regard to whether the
      information was submitted or considered in conjunction with the initial
      claim.  The Claimant may, upon request and without charge, have
      access to, and copies of, documents, records and other information
      relating to the claim.

            

    

     

    
      	
              5.  

            	
              General
      Appeal Procedure.  The Board (or its designee) may hold a
      hearing or otherwise ascertain such facts as it deems necessary and shall
      render a decision which shall be binding upon both parties.  The
      Board shall render a decision on appeal within sixty (60) days after the
      receipt by the Board of the notice of appeal, unless special circumstances
      require an extension of time.  (See Section 6 for the procedures
      concerning extensions of time.)

            

    

     

    The
appeal decision of the Board shall be provided in written or electronic form to
the Claimant.  If the appeal decision is adverse to the Claimant, then
the written decision shall include the following:

     

    
      	
              a.  

            	
              the
      specific reason or reasons for the appeal
  decision;

            

    

     

    
      	
              b.  

            	
              reference
      to the specific Plan provisions on which the appeal decision is
      based;

            

    

     

    
      	
              c.  

            	
              a
      statement that the Claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free
      of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records,
      and other information relevant to the Claimant’s claim for
      benefits.  (Whether a document, record, or other information is
      relevant to a claim for benefits shall be determined by reference to 29
      C.F.R. § 2560.503-1(m)(8));

            

    

     

    
      	
              d.  

            	
              a
      statement describing any voluntary appeal procedures offered by the Plan
      and the Claimant’s right to obtain the information about such procedures;
      and

            

    

     

    
      	
              e.  

            	
              a
      statement of the Claimant’s right to bring an action under Section 502(a)
      of the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act.

            

    

     

    
      	
              6.  

            	
              Notice
      of Extension.  If the Committee or Board requires an extension
      of time, the Committee or Board shall provide the Claimant with written or
      electronic notice of the extension before the first day of the
      extension.  The notice of the extension shall
      include:

            

    

     

    
      	
              a.  

            	
              an
      explanation of the circumstances requiring the
  extension;

            

    

     

    
      	
              b.  

            	
              the
      date by which the Committee or Board expects to render a
      decision;

            

    

     

    
      	
              c.  

            	
              for
      purposes of an initial claim, no more than one extension of ninety (90)
      days shall be allowed; and

            

    

     

    
      	
              d.  

            	
              for
