SECOND AMENDMENT TO
                    THE DST SYSTEMS, INC. PROFIT SHARING PLAN
                               AND TRUST AGREEMENT
                               (1996 Restatement)

         WHEREAS,  by written  instrument  dated December 30, 1996, DST Systems,
Inc. amended and restated The DST Systems, Inc. Profit Sharing Plan and Trust 
Agreement (1996 Restatement); and

         WHEREAS, DST Systems, Inc., in Section 11.02 of said Plan, reserved the
right to amend the Plan;

         WHEREAS, DST Systems, Inc., finds it desirable to amend the Plan to
establish uniform quarterly distribution dates for certain distributions of
certain participants' accounts; to clarify the treatment of Qualified Domestic
Relations Orders ("QDROs"); and to make conforming and clarifying changes
related to the above; and UMB Bank, N.A. agrees to such amendment.

         NOW, THEREFORE, DST Systems, Inc. and UMB Bank, N.A. agree that The 
DST Systems, Inc. Profit Sharing Plan and Trust Agreement (1996 Restatement) be 
amended as follows:


         1. The first paragraph of Section 6.01 is amended to read as follows:

                  Unless, pursuant to Section 6.03, the Participant or the
         Beneficiary elects in writing to a different time or method of payment,
         the Advisory Committee will direct the Trustee to commence distribution
         of a Participant's Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit in accordance with
         this Section 6.01. A Participant must consent, in writing, to any
         distribution required under this Section 6.01 if the present value of
         the Participant's Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit, at the time of the
         distribution to the Participant, exceeds $5,000 and the Participant has
         not attained the later of Normal Retirement Age or age 62. Furthermore,
         the Participant's spouse also must consent, in writing, to any
         distribution, for which Section 6.04 requires the spouse's consent. For
         all purposes of this Article VI, the term "annuity starting date" means
         the first day of the first period for which the Plan pays an amount as
         an annuity or in any other form. For all purposes of this Plan, the
         "distribution date" is the 90th day after the end of the Plan Year or
         as soon as administratively practicable thereafter (a "distribution
         date" or "annual distribution date") unless the Plan specifies that
         distribution may also be made on the 30th day after the end of any of
         the first three calendar quarters of a Plan Year or as soon as
         administratively practicable thereafter (a "quarterly distribution
         date"). For purposes of the consent requirements under this Article VI,
         if the present value of the Participant's Nonforfeitable Accrued
         Benefit, at the time of any distribution, exceeds $5,000, the Advisory
         Committee must treat that present value as exceeding $5,000 for
         purposes of all subsequent Plan distributions to the Participant.

         2. Subsection 6.01(C)(1) is amended to read as follows:

                           (1) Deceased Participant's Nonforfeitable Accrued
                  Benefit Does Not Exceed $5,000. The Advisory Committee,
                  subject to the requirements of Section 6.04, must direct the
                  Trustee to pay the deceased Participant's Nonforfeitable
                  Accrued Benefit in a single cash sum, on the annual or
                  quarterly distribution date following the end of the calendar
                  quarter in which the Participant's death occurs, or, if later,
                  in which the Advisory Committee receives notification of or
                  otherwise confirms the Participant's death, or as soon as
                  administratively practicable thereafter.

         3. Subsection 6.03(A) is amended to read as follows:

         (A) Participant Elections After Termination of Employment. If the
         present value of a Participant's Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit exceeds
         $5,000, he may elect to have the Trustee commence distribution as of
         any annual or quarterly distribution date, but not earlier than the
         first annual distribution date after the close of the Plan Year in
         which the Participant's Separation from Service occurs. The Participant
         may reconsider an election at any time prior to the annuity starting
         date and elect to commence distribution as of any later annual or
         quarterly distribution date after the end of any subsequent calendar
         quarter after the last day of the Plan Year in which his Separation
         from Service occurred, or as soon as administratively practicable
         thereafter. In the case of (i) a Participant who has attained age 55 on
         or before the date of his Separation from Service, or (ii) a
         Participant whose Separation from Service occurs because of his
         disability, the Participant, in addition to the benefit payment
         elections provided for in the first two sentences of this Section
         6.03(A), shall have the right to elect to have the Trustee commence
         distribution as of any annual or quarterly distribution date after the
         end of the calendar quarter in which his Separation from Service
         occurs, or as soon as administratively practicable thereafter. A
         Participant who has separated from Service may elect distribution as of
         any annual or quarterly distribution date after the last day of the
         Plan Year in which his Separation from Service occurred, or as soon as
         administratively practicable thereafter, irrespective of the
         restrictions otherwise applicable under this Section 6.03(A). If the
         Participant is partially vested in his Accrued Benefit, an election
         under this paragraph (A) to distribute prior to the Participant's
         incurring a Forfeiture Break in Service (as defined in Section 5.08),
         must be in the form of a cash-out distribution (as defined in Article
         V). A Participant may not receive a cash-out distribution if, prior to
         the time the Trustee actually makes the cash-out distribution, the
         Participant returns to employment with an Employer.

                                       2

         4. Section 6.03(B) is amended to read as follows:

         (B)      Participant Elections Prior to Termination of Employment.

                  (1) At Normal Retirement Age. After a Participant attains
         Normal Retirement Age, the Participant, until he retires, has a
         continuing election to receive all or any portion of his Accrued
         Benefit. A Participant must make an election under this paragraph on a
         form prescribed by the Advisory Committee at any time during the Plan
         Year for which his election is to be effective. In his written
         election, the Participant must specify the percentage or dollar amount
         he wishes the Trustee to distribute to him. The Participant's election
         relates solely to the percentage or dollar amount specified in his
         election form and his right to elect to receive an amount, if any, for
         a particular Plan Year greater than the dollar amount or percentage
         specified in his election form terminates on the Accounting Date. The
         Trustee must make a distribution to a Participant in accordance with
         his election under this paragraph on the annual or quarterly
         distribution date after the end of the calendar quarter within which
         the Participant files his written election with the Trustee, or as soon
         as administratively practicable thereafter. The Trustee will distribute
         the balance of the Participant's Accrued Benefit not distributed
         pursuant to his election(s) in accordance with the other distribution
         provisions of this Plan.

                  (2) Prior to Normal Retirement Age. For purposes of this
         paragraph, the terms "eligible retirement plan," "direct rollover" and
         "eligible rollover distribution" shall have the meanings ascribed to
         them in Section 6.08. Any Participant who has attained 59 1/2 and has
         at least five Years of Service, until he retires, has a continuing
         election to direct the Trustee to pay directly to an eligible
         retirement plan specified by the Participant in a direct rollover all
         or any portion, with a minimum portion of 20%, of his Nonforfeitable
         Accrued Benefit, provided that the payment is an eligible rollover
         distribution. A Participant may make an election under this paragraph
         on a form prescribed by the Advisory Committee at any time during the
         Plan Year for which his election is to be effective. In his written
         election, the Participant must specify the percentage or dollar amount
         he wishes the Trustee to distribute. The Participant's election relates
         solely to the percentage or dollar amount specified in his election
         form and his right to elect to have directly rolled over an amount, if
         any, for a particular Plan Year greater than the dollar amount or
         percentage specified in his election form terminates on the Accounting
         Date. The Trustee must pay the amount specified by the Participant in a
         direct rollover in accordance with the Participant's election under
         this paragraph on the annual or quarterly distribution date after the
         end of the calendar quarter within which the Participant files his
         written election with the Trustee, or as soon as administratively
         practicable thereafter. The Trustee will distribute the balance of the
         Participant's Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit not distributed pursuant
         to this election(s) under this Section 6.03(B) in accordance with the
         other distribution provisions of this Plan.

                                       3

                  If the Trustee makes a distribution (other than a cash-out
         distribution described in Section 5.04) to a partially-vested
         Participant pursuant to this Section 6.03(B), the Advisory Committee
         will establish a separate Account for the Participant's Accrued
         Benefit. At any relevant time following the distribution, the Advisory
         Committee will determined the Participant's Nonforfeitable Accrued
         Benefit derived from Employer contributions in accordance with the
         following formula: (P(AB+(RxD)) - (RxD).

                  To apply this formula, "P" is the Participant's current
         vesting percentage at the relevant time, "AB" is the Participant's
         Employer-derived Accrued Benefit at the relevant time, "R" is the ratio
         of the Accrued Benefit at the relevant time to the Accrued Benefit
         after the earlier distribution, and "D" is the amount of the earlier
         distribution.

         5. The second paragraph of Section 6.03(E) is amended to read as
follows:

                  A Participant must make a written election under this Section
         6.03(E) on a form prescribed by the Advisory Committee not more than 90
         nor less than 60 days before the end of the calendar quarter preceding
         the distribution. The distribution in accordance with the Participant's
         timely-filed election will be made on the annual or quarterly
         distribution date following the end of such calendar quarter or as soon
         as administratively practicable thereafter.

         6. The first paragraph of Section 6.07 is amended to read as follows:

                  Nothing contained in this Plan prevents the Trustee, in
         accordance with the direction of the Advisory Committee, from complying
         with the provisions of a qualified domestic relations order (as defined
         in Code ss.414(p)). This Plan specifically permits distribution to an
         alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order on any
         annual or quarterly distribution date or as soon as administratively
         practicable thereafter, irrespective of whether the Participant has
         attained his earliest retirement age (as defined under Code ss.414(p))
         under the Plan. A distribution to an alternate payee prior to the
         Participant's attainment of earliest retirement age is available only
         if the order specifies distribution at that time or permits an
         alternate payee to elect such earlier distribution. Nothing in this
         Section 6.07 allows an alternate payee to receive distribution at a
         time otherwise not permitted under the Plan nor in a form of payment
         not permitted under the Plan, nor does it allow a Participant to
         receive distribution at a time or in a form not authorized by Plan
         terms other than this Section 6.07.

                                       4

         7. Section 10.14 is amended to read as follows:

                  10.14 VALUATION OF TRUST. The Trustee must value the Trust
         Fund as of each Accounting Date to determine the fair market value of
         each Participant's Accrued Benefit in the Trust. The Trustee also must
         value the Trust Fund on the last day of each calendar quarter and such
         other dates as directed in writing by the Advisory Committee.

         8. Section 14.01 is amended to read as follows:

                  14.01 REQUEST FOR WITHDRAWAL DUE TO FINANCIAL HARDSHIP. Every
         Participant who has completed four (4) Years of Service for vesting
         purposes, as defined in Sections 5.06 and 5.08, may request to withdraw
         all or any portion, at his option, but not to exceed the value of such
         Participant's vested interest which would be available under Section
         5.03, of the balance of his Accrued Benefit as the same shall stand on
         the last day of the calendar quarter in which such request is made
         (after completion of all adjustments to be made thereto as of the end
         of the calendar quarter in which such request is made). Effective for
         Plan Years beginning after December 31, 1989, a Participant may make
         such a withdrawal request if he has either completed four (4) Years of
         Service for vesting purposes or been a Participant in the Plan for all
         or part of at least four (4) Plan Years. Such request for withdrawal
         shall be made in writing on a form satisfactory to the Advisory
         Committee and such request shall be delivered to the Advisory Committee
         not more than 90 nor less than 60 days before the end of the calendar
         quarter preceding the distribution. The Advisory Committee shall have
         complete discretion in approving a request for withdrawal due to
         financial hardship and the amount thereof, PROVIDED; the Advisory
         Committee shall grant its consent if satisfied from positive evidence
         presented by the Participant, that the purpose of the request for
         withdrawal due to financial hardship is:

                           (a) financing of the purchase, major repair or 
                  improvement of the Participant's home;

                           (b) major illness or disability of the Participant, a
                  member of his immediate family or one dependent upon him;

                                       5

                           (c) college or other post-high school education of
                  the Participant or one dependent upon him; a withdrawal
                  pursuant to this subparagraph (c) shall be distributed in
                  approximately equal annual installments over the scheduled
                  course of the schooling. Installments after the initial
                  distribution will be paid only if the Participant delivers to
                  the Advisory Committee a copy of grades for the most recent
                  quarter or semester for which grades are available as well as
                  a bill or other appropriate written evidence sufficient to
                  demonstrate to the Advisory Committee the continuation by the
                  Participant or dependent of his course of schooling;

                           (d) financial hardship to the Participant caused by
                  sickness, accident or death in the Participant's immediate
                  family; or

                           (e) such other condition or purpose which the
                  Advisory Committee shall determine, in accordance with uniform
                  principles consistently applied, is of sufficiently similar
                  seriousness or worthiness to the enumerated conditions and
                  purposes as to constitute a financial hardship;

         and further provided, that in no event shall the Advisory Committee
         grant such request from a Participant who has previously made a
         withdrawal pursuant to this Section 14.01 unless, subsequent to the
         Plan Year in which the Participant's most recent such request was made
         and granted, the Participant has either completed four (4) additional
         Years of Service of vesting purposes or has been a Participant in the
         Plan for all or part of at least four (4) additional Plan Years. If the
         Advisory Committee would otherwise grant a request for withdrawal for
         the financing of the purchase of the Participant's home but for the
         fact that the Participant has not obtained a signed contract for the
         purchase of the home, the Advisory Committee shall approve the request
         subject to the condition that Participant obtain a signed contract for
         purchase of a home.

         9. Section 14.03 is amended to read as follows:

                  14.03 TIME OF PAYMENT. Except as provided in Section 14.06,
         following the close of the calendar quarter when any such request for
         withdrawal shall be made and approved by the Advisory Committee, the
         Advisory Committee shall direct the Trustee to pay and distribute to
         the Participant the amount so specified. Payment shall be made on the
         annual or quarterly distribution date following the end of the calendar
         quarter or as soon as administratively practicable thereafter, or in
         the case of a request made and approved in the last quarter of a Plan
         Year, as soon as administratively practicable after the year-end
         adjustments to be made for such Plan Year shall be completed; and the
         amount so distributed shall be charged to the Participant's Account.

                                       6

         10. Section 14.05 is amended to read as follows:

                  14.05 REQUEST FOR WITHDRAWAL DUE TO FINANCIAL HARDSHIP FOR
         PARTICIPANTS IN THE POLICYHOLDER SERVICE CORPORATION RETIREMENT PLAN. A
         Participant in the Policyholder Service Corporation Retirement Plan
         which was merged with this Plan on December 31, 1991, may request a
         withdrawal due to financial hardship of all or any portion, at his
         option, but not to exceed the value of such Participant's vested
         interest which would be available under Section 5.03, of the balance of
         his Accrued Benefit attributable to contributions (including any
         rollover contributions) made for Plan Years beginning on or after
         January 1, 1988 and to any rollover contributions made prior to January
         1, 1988, to the Policyholder Service Corporation Retirement Plan prior
         to merger with this Plan, as the same shall stand on the last day of
         the calendar quarter in which such request is made (after completion of
         all adjustments to be made thereto as of the end of the calendar
         quarter in which such request is made); PROVIDED, the distribution
         provisions of Section 6.03(E) shall govern any request by a Participant
         for a withdrawal from the Participant's Deferral Contributions Account.
         Such request for withdrawal shall be made in writing on a form
         satisfactory to the Advisory Committee and such request shall be
         delivered to the Advisory Committee not more than 90 nor less than 60
         days before the end of the calendar quarter preceding the distribution.
         The Advisory Committee shall have complete discretion in approving a
         request for withdrawal due to financial hardship and the amount
         thereof; PROVIDED, the Advisory Committee shall grant its consent if
         satisfied from positive evidence presented by the Participant, that the
         purpose of the request for withdrawal due to financial hardship is:

                           (a) financing of the purchase, major repair or 
                  improvement of the Participant's home;

                           (b) major illness or disability of the Participant, a
                  member of his immediate family or one dependent upon him;

                           (c) college or other post-high school education of
                  the Participant or one dependent upon him; (a withdrawal
                  pursuant to this subparagraph (c) shall be distributed in
                  approximately equal annual installments over the scheduled
                  course of the schooling. Installments after the initial
                  distribution will be paid only if the Participant delivers to
                  the Advisory Committee a copy of grades for the most recent
                  quarter or semester for which grades are available as well as
                  a bill or other appropriate written evidence sufficient to
                  demonstrate to the Advisory Committee the continuation by the
                  Participant or dependent of his course of schooling);

                                       7

                           (d) financial hardship to the Participant caused by
                  sickness, accident or death in the Participant's immediate
                  family; or

                           (e) such other condition or purpose which the
                  Advisory Committee shall determine, in accordance with uniform
                  principles consistently applied, is of sufficiently similar
                  seriousness or worthiness to the enumerated conditions and
                  purposes as to constitute a financial hardship.

                           If the Advisory Committee would otherwise grant a
                  request for withdrawal for the financing of the purchase of
                  the Participant's home but for the fact that the Participant
                  has not obtained a signed contract for the purchase of the
                  home, the Advisory Committee shall approve the request subject
                  to the condition that Participant obtain a signed contract for
                  purchase of a home.

                           The provisions of Sections 14.02, 14.03, 14.04 and
                  14.06 shall apply to any withdrawals under this Section 14.05.

         11. Section 14.06 is amended to read as follows:

                  14.06 SPECIAL RULES FOR WITHDRAWAL DUE TO PURCHASE OF HOME.
         This Section 14.06 shall apply to a Participant whose request or
         withdrawal for the financing of the purchase of a home has been
         conditionally approved pursuant to Section 14.01. If the Participant
         has not obtained a signed contract for the purchase by the distribution
         date, the Trustee shall continue to hold such approved amount and
         distribute it to the Participant when he obtains a signed contract,
         provided that the Participant obtains a signed contract within six (6)
         months of the originally applicable distribution date. If the
         Participant does not obtain a signed contract within six (6) months of
         the originally applicable distribution date, the Participant's request
         shall be cancelled, and the Participant shall be permitted to make a
         new request pursuant to Section 14.01 and 14.05 notwithstanding any
         requirement that the Participant otherwise wait four (4) years.

         12. Section 15.02 is amended to read as follows:

                  15.02 VALUE OF PARTICIPANT'S ACCRUED BENEFIT. The value of
         each Participant's Accrued Benefit shall consist of that portion of the
         net worth (at fair market value) of the Trust Fund which the net credit
         balance in his Account therein bears to the total net credit balance in
         the Accounts of all Participants plus the value of any segregated
         accounts hereunder. For purposes of a distribution under the Plan, the
         value of a Participant's Accrued Benefit shall be its value as of the
         valuation date immediately preceding the applicable distribution date.
         Any distribution (other than a distribution from a segregated Account)
         made to a Participant (or to his Beneficiary) more than 90 days after
         the most recent valuation date shall include interest on the amount of
         the distribution as an expense of the Trust fund. The interest accrues
         from such valuation date to the date of the distribution at a rate of
         five percent (5%) per annum.

                                       8

         13. The foregoing amendments shall be effective September 30, 1998.
