The term "Rent" shall mean the Monthly Base Rent and all additional rent. 6. Building Operating Expense Reimbursement. 6.1 Under the Prime Lease, Sublandlord is obligated to reimburse Landlord for Subtenant's pro rata share of increases in "Expenses" in excess of the "Expense Stop Amount" (as such capitalized terms are defined in the Prime Lease). For purposes of this Sublease, the term "Base Year" shall mean 2000. For purposes of this Section 6, Subtenant's pro rata share ("Subtenant's Percentage") shall be 7.25%. The parties agree that the intention of this Section 6 is to obligate Subtenant to pay its pro rata share of Expenses which are in excess of Expenses for the Base Year. -3- 6.2 In addition to Monthly Base Rent, Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord additional rent with respect to each calendar year during the Sublease Term in accordance with the following provisions: (a) If Expenses during any calendar year after the Base Year exceed Expenses for the Base Year (such excess being referred to herein as "Excess Expenses"), then Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord, as additional rent for each such calendar year, an amount equal to Subtenant's Percentage of such Excess Expenses. Expenses shall be determined by Primary Landlord in accordance with the provisions of the Prime Lease. (b) Sublandlord shall deliver to Subtenant written notice of its estimate of Excess Expenses for the upcoming calendar year. Sublandlord shall have the right to rely on estimates thereof prepared by Primary Landlord. On the first day of each and every calendar month commencing after the receipt of each such estimate and prior to the receipt of the next annual estimate of Excess Expenses, Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord one-twelfth (1/12) of Subtenant's Percentage of Excess Expenses based upon such estimate. Such estimated payments shall be due on the same date as are the installments of Monthly Base Rent. Subtenant's Percentage of Excess Expenses for each calendar year of the Sublease Term shall be deemed to be additional rent becoming due under this Sublease and Subtenant's obligation to pay Subtenant's Percentage of Excess Expenses for the Sublease Term shall survive the expiration or termination of this Sublease. (c) As soon as reasonably possible after the expiration of each calendar year during the Sublease Term, Sublandlord will furnish to Subtenant a statement showing the Expenses for the expired calendar year and the estimated amount of Expenses to be paid during the next calendar year, such statement to be in the same form as the statement provided to Sublandlord by Primary Landlord. If Subtenant's Percentage of Excess Expenses for any calendar year exceeds the payment on account thereof made by Subtenant, Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord the deficiency within fifteen (15) days after the receipt of a statement therefor. Such obligation on the part of Subtenant shall survive any vacation of the Subleased Premises by Subtenant. If any such statement shows that the payments made by Subtenant on account of Excess Expenses exceeded the amount then payable by Subtenant, then Sublandlord shall apply such excess to future payments of additional rent or, in the event Subtenant has vacated the Subleased Premises in accordance with its rights hereunder, pay the amount of such excess to Subtenant. In no event shall any rent adjustment result in a decrease of Monthly Base Rent. (d) If Expenses for any calendar year are revised after a statement thereof has been delivered to Subtenant, then the parties agree to make such adjustments as may be necessary based upon the revised amount of Expenses. (e) Excess Expenses for any partial calendar year at the end of the Sublease Term shall be prorated. 7. Security Deposit. Subtenant, concurrently with signing this Sublease, shall pay to Sublandlord a Security Deposit in the amount of $28,882.00 to be held to guarantee the faithful performance by Subtenant of all of Subtenant's obligations under this Sublease. The Security Deposit may be commingled with Sublandlord's other funds and any interest or other income earned thereon shall be the property of Sublandlord. If Subtenant defaults with respect to any provision of this Sublease, Sublandlord may expend the whole or any part of the Security Deposit for the payment of any amount which Sublandlord may expend by reason of such default. If any portion or all of the Security Deposit is so used, Subtenant shall, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, deposit cash with Sublandlord in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount and failure to do so shall be a breach of this Sublease. Provided no event of default has occurred and is continuing under this Sublease -4- on the later of (a) the first anniversary of the Commencement Date, or (b) the expiration of all contingencies and termination rights under this Sublease (as set forth in Sections 36 and 37), Sublandlord shall return the Security Deposit to Subtenant within fifteen (15) days after Sublandlord's receipt of notice from Subtenant that each of the foregoing conditions have been met, together with any evidence reasonably required by Sublandlord that all contingencies have been satisfied and all termination rights have expired. In the event of a transfer of Sublandlord's interest in the Building, Sublandlord may pay over the Security Deposit to Sublandlord's transferee to be held under the terms of this Sublease and Sublandlord shall be released from all liability for the return of the Security Deposit. Under no circumstances shall Subtenant have the right to direct that the Security Deposit be applied to the payment of Rent. 8. Use of Subleased Premises. Subtenant shall use and occupy the Subleased Premises only as a full-service banking facility, providing any services that may be provided by a commercial bank under federal and Missouri laws, and for general office purposes, and for no other use or purpose whatsoever without the express prior written consent of Sublandlord and Primary Landlord. 9. Alterations and Improvements. (a) The Subleased Premises are being subleased in an "AS IS - WHERE IS" condition, unless expressly provided otherwise herein. Sublandlord shall have no obligation to perform any alterations to ready the Subleased Premises for Subtenant's occupancy. Sublandlord makes and has made no representations or warranties with respect to the condition of the Subleased Premises or as to its suitability for the use or uses contemplated by Subtenant.

Subtenant shall, at its cost and expense, install its own telephone and computer equipment systems. (b) Except as provided in this Sublease, any alterations, additions, changes or improvements to the Subleased Premises not expressly described herein shall be made only with the prior written consent of Primary Landlord and notice of the same to Sublandlord as provided herein.

Subtenant also agrees to reimburse Sublandlord for any construction supervision fees charged by Primary Landlord to Sublandlord. In no event shall any lien be established against the Subleased Premises or the Building. In the event the actual cost of the alterations, plus the construction supervision fee, are less than the amount paid to Primary Landlord by Subtenant as required in this subsection (b), Primary Landlord shall pay the difference to Subtenant within thirty (30) days after completion of the alterations.

The Improvement Allowance will be paid to Subtenant upon Sublandlord's receipt of sufficient evidence as required by Sublandlord of completion of the improvements, including without limitation copies of invoices, evidence that the same have been paid, and lien waivers from contractors and suppliers; provided, however, that in no event shall Sublandlord be obligated to pay more than the amount of the Improvement Allowance for any and all work and that Subtenant shall pay all costs in excess of the Improvement Allowance. If Subtenant does not intend to utilize all or a part of the Improvement Allowance and so notifies Sublandlord, then any unused amount of the Improvement Allowance shall be credited against Subtenant's obligation to pay Monthly Base Rent hereunder from the first day of the month after Sublandlord's receipt of the notice until the entire unused amount of the Improvement Allowance has been applied and credited to the Monthly Base Rent payments. If Subtenant fails to fully utilize the Improvement Allowance during the Sublease Term, then any unused amount of the Improvement Allowance shall be credited against Subtenant's obligation to pay Monthly Base Rent hereunder and shall be refunded by Sublandlord to Subtenant within fifteen (15) days after the Expiration Date. Any and all improvements or alterations to be made by Subtenant in connection therewith shall be subject to the provisions of this Sublease. Nothing in the foregoing shall relieve Subtenant from any of its other obligations under this Sublease.

Sublandlord shall not be liable for any damage occasioned by failure to keep the Subleased Premises in repair, and it shall not be liable for any damage arising from the action or negligence of Subtenant, co-tenants or other occupants of the Building. Subtenant shall defend (by counsel acceptable to Sublandlord), pay, indemnify and save harmless Sublandlord, its agents and employees, from and against any and all claims, demands, fines, suits, actions, proceedings, orders, decrees and judgments of any kind or nature by or in favor of anyone whomsoever and from and against any and all costs and expenses incurred by Sublandlord, including attorneys' fees, resulting from or in connection with any of the following, unless the same are caused by Sublandlord's gross negligence or willful misconduct: (a) any accident, bodily injury, death, personal injury of any kind, or property damage arising directly or indirectly, out of or from or on account of any occurrence in, upon, at or about the Subleased Premises; (b) any accident, bodily injury, death, personal injury or property damage arising, directly or indirectly, in connection with Subtenant's operation and conduct of business on or in the Subleased Premises, or suffered by any of Subtenant's employees, agents, contractors or invitees; (c) any use, occupancy, non-use or condition of the Subleased Premises; and (d) any failure on the part of Subtenant to perform or comply with any of the agreements, terms, covenants and conditions of this Sublease. In case any action, suit or proceeding is brought against Sublandlord by reason of any such occurrence, Subtenant, or Subtenant's insurer, upon Sublandlord's request, will at no expense to Sublandlord resist and defend such action, suit or proceeding or cause the same to be resisted and defended by counsel designated by Subtenant and approved by Sublandlord. The obligations of Subtenant under this Section shall survive any termination of this Sublease. -10- 18. Events of Default. If any one or more of the following events occurs, then the same shall constitute an event of default on the part of Subtenant under this Sublease: 18.1 The failure of Subtenant to make any payment of Monthly Base Rent, additional rent or other sum required to be paid when due or within seven (7) days after Sublandlord sends notice of such failure to Subtenant. 18.2 The failure of Subtenant to perform or observe any of the other terms or conditions of this Sublease (including, without limitation, the terms and conditions of the Prime Lease to the extent that the same are obligations of Subtenant hereunder) to be observed or performed by Subtenant; provided, however, that if such event is not otherwise set forth in this Section 18 and Subtenant cures such default within thirty (30) days after Sublandlord sends Subtenant written notice of such default, no event of default shall occur under this Sublease; further provided, that if such event is not reasonably capable of cure within such thirty (30) day period, no event of default shall occur if (a) Subtenant promptly commences and diligently pursues cure, and such event is cured not later than sixty (60) days after Sublandlord sends Subtenant written notice of such default; and (b) no default or event of default occurs under the Prime Lease; 18.3 The failure of Subtenant to remedy, immediately after receipt of notice from Sublandlord, any hazardous condition which Subtenant has created or suffered in breach of Subtenant's obligations under this Sublease; 18.4 Except as expressly permitted under this Sublease, the purported subletting of the Subleased Premises or purported assignment of this Sublease by Subtenant without the prior written consent of Sublandlord and Primary Landlord; 18.5 The abandonment of the Subleased Premises by Subtenant; 18.6 Subtenant becomes insolvent or admits its inability to pay its creditors, or becomes the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding filed by or against it, or otherwise suffers any material adverse change in its financial condition; or 18.7 The subleasehold interest of Subtenant is levied upon under execution or is attached by process of law. 18.8 Subtenant shall breach any of its obligations set forth in Sections 3 (subject to any applicable cure rights), 8, 9(b), 9(c), 11, 12, 13, 16.4, or 28 of this Sublease. 18.9 Any material representation or warranty made by Subtenant hereunder shall prove to have been untrue when made. 19. Remedies. If an event of default occurs on the part of Subtenant under this Sublease, then Sublandlord may exercise any one or more of the following remedies, to the extent permitted by law, or any other legal or equitable remedy permitted under applicable law: 19.1 Sublandlord may terminate this Sublease upon the delivery of notice thereof to Subtenant, and Sublandlord shall have the right to immediate possession of the Subleased Premises and Subtenant shall peacefully surrender possession of the Subleased Premises to Sublandlord. Subtenant hereby waives any and all rights it may have, at law or in equity, to the receipt of notice of default or demand for forfeiture, except as expressly provided herein. In the event Subtenant holds the Subleased Premises over beyond the termination of the Sublease Term, Sublandlord shall have the right to recover -11- Sublandlord's cost in recovering possession of the Subleased Premises (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and litigation costs), such amounts as may be permitted under applicable law and any other amounts due and payable to Sublandlord hereunder (including, without limitation, any past-due Rent). 19.2 Sublandlord, without terminating this Sublease, shall have the right to terminate Subtenant's right to possess the Subleased Premises and to recover possession thereof and Subtenant shall peacefully surrender the Subleased Premises to Sublandlord. Subtenant hereby waives any and all rights it may have, at law or in equity, to the receipt of notice of default or demand for forfeiture, except as expressly provided herein. Sublandlord, at Sublandlord's option, may cause the Subleased Premises to be prepared for reletting, and may relet the Subleased Premises or any part thereof as agent of Subtenant, for a term to expire prior to, at the same time as, or subsequent to the expiration of the Sublease Term, at Sublandlord's option. In the event of such reletting, Sublandlord shall receive the rents therefor, applying the same first, to the repayment of reasonable expenses as Sublandlord may have incurred in connection with said resumption of possession, preparing for reletting and reletting (including, without limitation, remodeling costs, brokerage and attorneys' fees), and, second, to the payment of damages and amounts equal to the Monthly Base Rent and additional rent due hereunder and to the cost of performing the other obligations of Subtenant as herein provided. Subtenant, regardless of whether Sublandlord has relet the Subleased Premises, shall pay to Sublandlord damages equal to the Monthly Base Rent and additional rent herein agreed to be paid by Subtenant less the costs and proceeds of the reletting, if any, and such Rent shall be due and payable by Subtenant by on the days on which Rent is due hereunder or, in the alternative and at the option of Sublandlord, Subtenant shall immediately pay all amounts of Monthly Base Rent payable during the Sublease Term reduced by the rental value thereof discounted to present value at the rate of three percent (3%) per annum. 19.3 Sublandlord may perform for Subtenant any of the obligations Subtenant has agreed to perform hereunder if Subtenant has defaulted in the performance of such obligations. Upon demand, Subtenant shall reimburse Sublandlord for Sublandlord's cost of performing for Subtenant, together with interest thereon at a rate equal to ten percent (10%) per annum, compounded monthly. Any amounts so expended by Sublandlord shall be immediately due and payable, and the failure of Subtenant to pay such amounts shall entitle Sublandlord to all of the rights and remedies available to it as if Subtenant had defaulted in the payment of Rent. 19.4 Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the amount of any installment of Monthly Base Rent or additional rent if such installment becomes more than ten (10) days past due. 19.5 Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord, upon demand, interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum on any past-due payments of Monthly Base Rent, additional rent or other amounts due hereunder. 20. Headings. The headings of the paragraphs of this Sublease are inserted only for reference and convenience and the Sublease is to be construed in all respects as if said headings did not appear hereon. 21. Parking. During the Sublease Term and provided that no event of default has occurred on the part of Subtenant and is continuing under this Sublease, Subtenant shall have a license to use forty-two (42) unreserved garage parking spaces in the parking garage connected to the Building. No charge shall be assessed for the license to park in the foregoing spaces. Parking shall be subject to such rules and regulations as may be established from time to time by Primary Landlord. -12- 22. Common Areas. Subtenant shall keep and maintain Subtenant's lobby area in a clean and orderly condition free and clear of any debris. Subtenant shall not permit storage of any material or equipment in Subtenant's lobby to be visible from the common areas of the Building. Upon Primary Landlord's request, Subtenant shall remove any materials, equipment, furnishings or debris from Subtenant's lobby that is visible from the common areas of the Building that is in not consistent with the image of a first class office property. No signs, marquis, flags, banners, placards, streamers or other display shall be hung, maintained or displayed on or from Subtenant's windows in the Subleased Premises. 23. Building Signage. After the conditions set forth in Sections 36 and 37 are satisfied, Subtenant shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to have Primary Landlord erect and maintain signage inside and outside the Building as permitted by Primary Landlord, and provided that such signage complies with the standard graphics used on the Building signage. Subtenant has the right to request the removal of all signs bearing Sublandlord's name (except for signage relating to the Building's name, "Magna Place"), in which event such signs shall be removed by Primary Landlord at Sublandlord's sole cost and expense within a reasonable period of time after Subtenant's request, except to the extent such signs relate to any use or occupancy of the Building by Sublandlord as of the Commencement Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Sublease or the Primary Lease, in no event shall Sublandlord or the Primary Landlord be required to reimburse Subtenant for any costs or expenses incurred by Subtenant in connection with any change in the name or address of the Building. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 23, prior to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Sections 36 and 37 of this Sublease, (a) Primary Landlord shall, within a reasonable period of time after the date of this Sublease, at Subtenant's expense, cause Subtenant to be included on all tenant directories for the Building (excluding the exterior monument signage), and (b) Subtenant shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to have Primary Landlord erect and maintain signage outside the Building directing vehicular traffic to the parking facilities for the Subleased Premises, all such signage to comply with the standard graphics used on the Building signage. 24. No Waiver. No waiver of any default of a party hereunder shall be implied from any omission by such party to take any action on account of such default if such default persists or is repeated, and no waiver shall affect any default other than the default specified in the waiver and that only for the time and to the extent herein stated. 25. No Warranties; Amendments. Subtenant acknowledges and agrees that it has not relied upon any statements, representations, agreements, or warranties except as are expressed in writing herein, and that no amendment or modification of this Sublease shall be valid or binding unless expressed in writing and executed by the parties hereto in the same manner as the execution of this Sublease. This Sublease may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. The undersigned representatives of Sublandlord and Subtenant each represent and warrant, respectively, that such persons have been duly authorized and directed to execute and deliver this Sublease on behalf of the party for which such person purports to be acting and that this Sublease constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of such parties. This Sublease supersedes any prior oral or written agreements relative to the subject matter hereof and constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the sublease of the Subleased Premises. 26. Attorneys' Fees. The parties hereby agree that if any litigation occurs under this Sublease, then the nonprevailing party shall reimburse the prevailing party for the prevailing party's expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) incurred in connection with such litigation. -13- 27. Successors and Assigns. This Sublease shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Sublandlord and Subtenant and their respective personal representatives, heirs, successors, and permitted assigns. If there shall be more than one Subtenant, they shall be bound jointly and severally by the terms, covenants and agreements herein. 28. Recording. No party shall have the right to record this Sublease or any memorandum hereof without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto. Any recording of this Sublease or any memorandum hereof without such consent shall constitute a breach of a material provision of this Sublease entitling the other parties to exercise any rights or remedies available hereunder or under applicable law as a result thereof. 29. Holding Over. Nothing contained herein is to be construed to give Subtenant the right to hold over any time, and Sublandlord and Primary Landlord may exercise any and all remedies at law or in equity to recover possession of the Subleased Premises and damages resulting from any such holding over. Subtenant agrees that if Subtenant fails to surrender possession of the Subleased Premises at the end of the Sublease Term (or any earlier date that the Sublease Term has been terminated), then, in addition to any other of Sublandlord's rights and remedies, Subtenant will be liable to Sublandlord and Primary Landlord for any and all losses, damages and expenses that Sublandlord suffers or incurs as a result of such failure to surrender possession. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Subtenant shall indemnify, defend (by counsel acceptable to Sublandlord) and hold Sublandlord harmless from any and all losses, damages and expenses suffered or incurred by Sublandlord resulting from Sublandlord's inability to deliver possession of the Subleased Premises (or any portion thereof) to any possible succeeding tenant (or to Primary Landlord as required under the Prime Lease), which inability results from Subtenant's failure to surrender possession of the Subleased Premises as required herein. Such indemnification shall be in addition to any other right or remedy available to Sublandlord under this Sublease or applicable law in the case of any holding over of the Subleased Premises beyond the expiration or earlier termination of the Sublease Term and shall survive any termination of this Sublease. 30. Brokerage. Subtenant represents and warrants that it has dealt solely with Krombach Partners, Inc. ("Subtenant's Agent"), which has served solely as the agent for Subtenant in connection with this Sublease and is not a sub-agent of Sublandlord, and Crow Brokerage Company d/b/a Trammell Crow Company, which has served as agent for Sublandlord, and that Subtenant has not dealt with any other broker, agent or other person in connection with this transaction and that no other broker, agent or other person brought about this transaction. Subtenant agrees to indemnify and hold Sublandlord and Primary Landlord harmless from and against any claim by any broker, agent or other person claiming a commission or other form of compensation by virtue of having dealt with Subtenant with regard to this leasing transaction. The provisions of this section shall survive the termination of this Sublease. Sublandlord's Agent shall be paid an amount equal to 2.75% of the total Monthly Base Rent required to be paid by Subtenant from January 1, 2000 through December 31, 2004 and an amount equal to 1.65% of the total Monthly Base Rent required to be paid by Subtenant from January 1, 2005 through the Expiration Date.

Estoppel certificates shall be executed and delivered by Subtenant within ten (10) days following a request therefor. 34. Governing Law.

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW AND APPLICABLE POLICIES OF INSURANCE, EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY -15- HAVE TO A JURY TRIAL IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION BETWEEN SUBTENANT AND SUBLANDLORD PERTAINING TO THIS SUBLEASE. 36. Conditions of Primary Landlord Approval; Consents. The foregoing Sublease is hereby approved by Primary Landlord provided that (i) this approval shall not create any relationship of landlord and tenant between Subtenant and Primary Landlord, (ii) Sublandlord shall not be relieved of any obligations to Primary Landlord under the Prime Lease, (iii) Primary Landlord shall not be obligated to recognize this Sublease in the event of termination for any reason of the Prime Lease, and (iv) Subtenant pays all legal fees incurred by Primary Landlord in connection with the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Sublease. Subtenant agrees to provide all information required by Article VIII of the Prime Lease and all other information and items required by the Primary Landlord and Sublandlord to obtain the Primary Landlord's continuing consent to this Sublease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Sublease, Primary Landlord's consent to this Sublease is contingent upon Subtenant's receipt of all Regulatory Approvals and delivery of notice of receipt of the same (together with such evidence of the same as may be required by Sublandlord or Primary Landlord) to Sublandlord and Primary Landlord on or before July 1, 2000, and if the foregoing contingency is not satisfied, Primary Landlord's consent to this Sublease shall be deemed automatically withdrawn on July 1, 2000 without any action required by Primary Landlord, Sublandlord or Subtenant. Provided all applications required to obtain Subtenant's Regulatory Approvals are pending, Subtenant is diligently pursuing the Regulatory Approvals, the failure to obtain the Regulatory Approvals on or before July 1, 2000 is not due to any condition or circumstance caused by Subtenant or its agents, and no event of default has occurred under this Sublease, Primary Landlord will not unreasonably withhold its consent to extend the July 1, 2000 deadline to August 1, 2000, or for additional thirty (30) day periods until Subtenant obtains the Regulatory Approvals. If Subtenant desires to request an extension of Primary Landlord's consent to this Sublease, it shall deliver a written request for extension to Primary Landlord and Sublandlord at least five (5) business days prior to the date on which Primary Landlord's consent will be deemed withdrawn, together with such evidence of the foregoing conditions to extension as Primary Landlord may require. 37. Termination if Regulatory Approvals Not Obtained. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Sublease, this Sublease shall automatically terminate without any action required by Sublandlord or Subtenant if Subtenant does not receive its Regulatory Approvals and deliver notice of receipt of the same (together with such evidence of the same as may be required by Sublandlord or Primary Landlord) to Sublandlord and Primary Landlord on or before July 1, 2000; provided, however, if Primary Landlord has agreed to extend its consent to this Sublease beyond July 1, 2000, and no event of default has occurred under this Sublease, this Sublease shall not terminate until such date, if any, on which Primary Landlord's consent is deemed automatically withdrawn. 38. Counterparts. This Sublease may be executed in any number of counterparts (including telecopy counterparts), each of which shall be deemed an original and together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Counterparts of this Sublease which have been executed and sent by facsimile to the other parties shall have the same effect as the hand delivery of executed originals.
