                                MONETT, MO 65708

hereafter called "JHA".

JHA is in the business of providing data processing services throughout its
trade area and Client is desirous of securing such services from JHA.

Therefore, on the date hereinafter indicated, the parties do hereby agree as
follows:

1.   DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES
     Client hereby contracts for and JHA hereby agrees to furnish, on the terms
     and conditions hereinafter set forth, the data processing services which
     are enumerated on Exhibit "A" attached to and a part of this Agreement.

2.   TERM OF AGREEMENT
     The original term of this agreement shall be for five (5) years commencing
     on the day of conversion to the new system. This Agreement shall be
     automatically extended for successive terms of one year from the expiration
     date of the original term. Either party may terminate the Agreement at the
     end of any contract term provided that written notice to this effect is
     given to the other party not less than 90 days prior to the end of any
     contract term. It being understood that if proper notification is not
     given, the term will automatically be renewed for one year.

     In the event that the Client provides timely notice to JHA as aforesaid of
     its intention to terminate this Agreement, this Agreement shall terminate
     as provided herein. In the event of such termination, the Client shall pay
     JHA all direct expenses incurred by JHA in turning over to the Client all
     information maintained by JHA and relating to data processing services
     performed by JHA for the Client. These expenses shall include, but shall
     not be limited to, charges for computer run time and programming
     requirements in accordance with JHA published rate schedules in effect at
     that time.

     In the event that the Client discontinues using JHA for processing prior to
     the end of any contract term, the Client will be liable to JHA for a lump
     sum settlement to be calculated as the average monthly billing exclusive of
     pass through cost including, but not limited to, data lines, postage,
     Federal Reserve charges, etc., for the past twelve months multiplied by the
     number of months and any portion of a month remaining in the contract term.
     In the event that any entity assumes the deposit liabilities of Client,
     such entity will automatically assume the obligations and liabilities of
     Client hereunder for the remaining contract term.

     Schedule of service fees will remain in effect for the term of the
     Agreement. At the end of each twelve (12) month period during the term, JHA
     may increase the Schedule of Service Fees then in effect by such an amount
     as JHA determines to be appropriate; provided, however, that JHA may not at
     that time increase the service fees in effect by a percentage greater than
     the percentage increase during the preceding twelve (12) month period in
     the "Consumer Price Index Seasonally Adjusted US City Average for All Items
     for all Urban Consumers (1982-84 = 100)" published monthly in the "Monthly
     Labor Review" of the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States
     Department of Labor or, should that index cease to be published, the most
     comparable index published on a regular basis by the US Government. JHA
     will provide a ninety (90) day advance written notice to Client before such
     changed fees go into effect.

3.   OWNERSHIP AND CONFIDENTIAL NATURE OF COMPUTER PROGRAMS AND MATERIAL
     During the term of this Agreement, JHA covenants to furnish and maintain,
     on its premises and at its cost, all of the equipment which it deems
     necessary to perform the Data Processing Services. JHA retains the right to
     move the equipment to any other location provided that such change will not
     materially alter the services JHA provides to Client as specified in this
     Agreement. During the term of this Agreement, Client covenants to furnish
     and maintain, on its premises and at its cost, all of the equipment and
     materials specified by JHA as being necessary for Client to receive,
     transmit and otherwise utilize the data processing services specified in
     Exhibit "A". The Client shall also notify JHA of the anticipated
     commencement of on-line services through new or additional terminals or the
     opening of new branches at least thirty (30) days in advance of the
     commencement of such services so as to enable JHA to arrange for necessary
     communication lines and with the understanding that the scheduled
     implementation date of such new on-line support may be dependent on the
     delivery schedules of third party vendors. The Client agrees to reimburse
     JHA when billed for charges, or the Client's portion of charges pro-rated
     among those Clients served, for communication lines or devices or
     installation of communication lines or devices arranged and paid for by JHA
     on behalf of the Client. Any equipment leased by JHA to Client shall be
     maintained in accordance with the provisions of a separate lease agreement.

     All data processing programs, specifications, documentation (including
     manuals, routines, sub-routines, or techniques, herein collectively called
     "programs" and original ideas or formulae relating to data processing or
     other handling or treatment of data (herein collectively called "ideas"),
     are and shall remain the property of JHA. It is agreed that the Client will
     not copy related materials or divulge the contents of said programs and
     ideas to any third party without permission for such disclosure or use
     being granted in writing by JHA.

     The Client shall reimburse JHA for any prior agreed upon costs incurred by
     JHA in developing customized programs or modifications to programs to
     satisfy the requirements of the Client or the Client's independent
     auditors, including the cost of the computer time to run said programs. It
     is further agreed that such customized programs or modifications will
     remain the property of JHA and, as such, JHA has the right to use said
     programs or modifications in providing services to other financial
     institutions.

4.   TRANSPORTATION OF DATA
     The parties acknowledge that reliable transportation of Client's input data
     and its processed work is necessary for JHA to perform in accordance with
     the Agreement. Accordingly, Client may either provide its own
     transportation of both the input data and processed work or it may elect to
     authorize JHA to contract for an authorized carrier to provide the
     transportation services and/or utilize JHA's own or its agent's vehicles to
     transport Client's input data and processed work for a fee as shown in
     Exhibit "A".

     In the event Client elects to authorize JHA to provide the transportation
     services and JHA elects to contract for a carrier to provide the necessary
     transportation services, such services will be rendered under the terms and
     conditions of a contract between JHA and said carrier or courier which such
     contract shall be made a part hereof by reference. JHA reserves the right
     to change carrier or couriers from time to time during the term of this
     Agreement. Client has the right to obtain from JHA a copy of the contract
     which is in effect upon written request to JHA. Client agrees that it is a
     third party beneficiary of said contract and any other which JHA may elect
     to become a party to during the term of this Agreement. As such, it agrees
     to be bound by and subject to all terms and conditions of these courier
     contracts, which shall be standard courier contracts, including, but not by
     way of limitation, any limitation of liability provisions. It is the intent
     of the parties that JHA's liability to Client or third parties for losses
     in transit, if any, shall be the same as the liability of the carrier to
     JHA under its Agreement.

     In the event JHA elects to utilize its own or its agent's vehicles to
     render the transportation services necessary for the performance of this
     Agreement, then the parties agree to be bound by a Compensation Schedule
     for such services, which shall be mutually agreed upon. Accordingly the
     same limitation of liability provisions as provided in standard courier
     contracts or such additional agreements as may be required by JHA to
     perform such courier services shall apply whether any claim is by JHA
     and/or Client against the authorized carrier or Client against JHA
     utilizing its own or its agent's vehicles.

5.   EXAMINATION
     The records maintained by JHA for the Client shall be subject to
     examination by those Federal or State agencies having jurisdiction over the
     Client to the same extent that such records would be subject to examination
     were they maintained and produced by the Client on its own premises, and
     JHA is authorized to provide the representatives of such agencies access to
     such records. Reasonable expenses incurred by JHA on the Client's behalf
     during the course of such examination may, at JHA's sole discretion, be
     charged to the Client by JHA with itemized accounting of such expenses.

6.   RESPONSIBILITY FOR DATA
     All records transmitted to JHA by Client shall remain the property of the
     Client. JHA shall consider all information transmitted to it by the Client
     to be of a confidential nature and JHA shall use its best effort to keep
     such information confidential, including the use of reasonable care to
     prevent unauthorized access to information transmitted by the Client
     pursuant to this Agreement.

     JHA will use reasonable care in the processing of the accounts for the
     Client and reports to the Client. The Client agrees to promptly check and
     verify all of the reports received from JHA to ascertain that all data has
     been processed and reported correctly, and to report any discrepancies to
     JHA not later than three (3) business days following receipt of such
     reports. Business days will be defined to be Monday through Friday, from
     8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. EST. Failure to report any discrepancies within the
     time prescribed in the previous sentences shall constitute a conclusive
     presumption that such reports are correct and accurate.

     JHA will provide safeguards determined at its discretion to ensure
     protection against destruction of records and programs by fire or other
     disasters, loss of data in transit or machine or human error, or
     unauthorized manipulation of data or reports insofar as can reasonably be
     expected using then current techniques and/or then current accepted
     business practices for storage and transfer of magnetic media.

     JHA maintains a disaster recovery plan with off-site data files and
     communications facilities for the re-establishment of services in the event
     of a disaster at JHA and agrees to make such backup processing

     capability available to the Client in the event of a major disaster at JHA.

     Agreement in a competent manner consistent with industry standards. The

     Should JHA breach such warranty, JHA shall diligently and in good faith
     attempt to correct that breach by performing or correcting its services,
     provided that nothing herein shall be construed as requiring JHA to provide
     any services without compensation. If within a reasonable time JHA is
     unable to correct such breach as aforesaid, Client shall be entitled to an
     equitable reduction in fees paid to JHA for the defective services. The

     failure or delay in making a requested transfer; erroneous transfers;
     liability by reason of insufficiency of funds in any account; unauthorized
     transfers; and failure to comply with state or federal laws, rules or
     regulations. Any liability of JHA to Client resulting from failure to
     comply with the terms of this Agreement or wherein JHA shall become legally
     obligated to pay for damages resulting from any claim arising from this
     Agreement shall be limited to the actual damages suffered by Client.

     JHA shall not be liable or responsible to Client or to any third party,
     including, but not limited to, customers of Client, for any consequential,
     special, indirect, or incidental damages, even if JHA has been advised of
     the possibility of such damages, except to the extent such damages result
     from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of JHA.

     JHA shall not be liable for delays or failures in the performance or
     completion of any of its obligations under or with respect to this
     Agreement beyond its reasonable control including, but not limited to,

     war, governmental regulations, strikes, lockouts, labor difficulties, fire,
     hurricanes, flood, insurrection, catastrophes, failures of transportation,
     communications or power supply, unavoidable mechanical difficulty with its
     computer equipment, acts of God, or other causes beyond its control or due
     to third parties.

8.   BILLING AND PAYMENT FOR SERVICES
     The Client agrees to accept the services and equipment described in this

     hereunder in accordance with such Exhibit "A". Following the end of each
     billing period, JHA shall bill the Client for all amounts due JHA hereunder
     for such billing period (including, but not limited to, all standard
     repetitive charges, all charges for additional requested services, and
     other charges incurred by the Client whether contemplated by this Agreement
     or agreed to by independent written contract or verbal contract or
     otherwise requested). Payment shall be made by the Client when invoice is
     rendered. Payment of all invoice amounts not received by JHA within 30 days
     of invoice date shall bear interest at the rate of 1.5% per month until
     paid.

9.   MAGNETIC INK CHARACTER RECOGNITION
     JHA requires that the magnetic ink character recognition (MICR) line
     printed on certain Client input documents conform to standards acceptable

     Client's input documents, nor for any subsequent errors in transmission of
     data

     returned in error or processed in error due to the inability of JHA
     equipment to read unacceptable MICR of any of the Client's input documents
     shall be the sole liability of the Client. Upon request, JHA will furnish
     the Client with detailed specifications for acceptable MICR standards.

     either party or third person should be held invalid by a court of law, the

          Term of Agreement." shall be waived."

                   INSERT A NEW FIRST SUBPARAGRAPH AS FOLLOWS:

          "This Agreement is contingent upon the approval of Client's charter
          application by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. However,
          if federal regulatory approval of the Client's applications are not
          approved the Client shall be released from all contracts and
          agreements and any liability except for a)the restocking charge and
          other penalties assessed by IBM for return and restocking of any

          entered in to in order to accommodate Client's processing needs c) all
          training and other installation services provided to Client which will
          be billed at JHA's then current rates for such services"

                    IN SECTION "6. RESPONSIBILITY FOR DATA.":

               STRIKE THE FIRST SUBPARAGRAPH AND REPLACE IT WITH:

          "All records, data and other information transferred or transmitted to
          JHA by Client (Client Data) shall remain the sole property of Client.
          JHA shall consider all Client Data transmitted to it by Client to be
          of a confidential nature and JHA shall use its best efforts to keep
          such Client Data confidential and prevent unauthorized access to such
          Client Data. JHA shall maintain the Client Data under commercially
          reasonable storage conditions suitable for such records, data and
          other information in a facility which is accessible only to authorized
          employees of JHA or to governmental agents as provided for under
          Section "5. Examination." above. Except as provided for in this

          Agreement to any third party except as provided for under "Section 5.
          Examination.". If JHA receives a subpoena or other order of a court or
          other judicial tribunal pertaining to the disclosure of the release of
          the Client Data, JHA shall, if it is legally permissible, immediately
          notify Client to allow Client to challenge any such order."

IN THE THIRD SENTENCE OF THE SECOND SUBPARAGRAPH IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING "EST"
INSERT "EXCLUDING HOLIDAYS RECOGNIZED BY THE FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM.".

  IN SECTION "7. WARRANTIES, EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.":

                   INSERT A NEW FIRST SUBPARAGRAPH AS FOLLOWS:

          "JHA represents and warrants that the Software as more fully described
          in and the subject of this Agreement, is designed to be used prior to,
          during and after the calendar year 2000 A.D., and that said Software
          will operate during each such time period and without error relating
          to date data, specifically including any error relating to, or the
          product of, date data which represents or references different
          centuries or more than one century. Without limiting the generality of
          the foregoing, JHA further represents and warrants:

          (a) That said Software will not abnormally end or provide invalid or
          incorrect results as a result of date data, specifically including
          date data which represents or references different centuries or more
          than one century;

          (b) That said Software has been designed to ensure year 2000
          compatibility, including but not limited to date data century
          recognition, calculations which accommodate same century and
          multi-century formulas and date values, and date data interface values
          that reflect the century; and

          (c) That said Software includes "year 2000 capabilities." For purposes
          of this Addendum and the Agreement, "year 2000 capabilities" means the
          Software:

               (1) will manage and manipulate data involving dates, including
               single century formulas and multi-century formulas, and will not
               cause an abnormally ending scenario within the application or
               generate incorrect values or invalid results involving such
               dates;

               (2) provides that all date-related user input functionalities
               will use a technique called "windowing" to enter the century of
               any date from a time window (i.e., 06/06/02 would be 06/06/2002)
               and data fields include the indication of century; and

               (3) provides that all date-related data interface functionalities
               include the indication of century."

IN THE FIFTH SENTENCE OF THE FIRST SUBPARAGRAPH IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING
"REASONABLE TIME" INSERT "(AS JUDGED BY THEN CURRENT INDUSTRY STANDARDS)".

                       IN SECTION "11. ENTIRE AGREEMENT.":

   IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE THIRD SUBPARAGRAPH INSERT A NEW SUBPARAGRAPH AS
                                    FOLLOWS:

     "In the event that JHA wishes to assign this Agreement, Client shall permit
     such assignment provided that if Client is in good faith unsatisfied with
     the new servicer, Client may opt to deconvert from JHA's successor provided
     that Client notifies JHA's successor within sixty (60) days following the
     date of the assignment. Client has 120 days after such prior written notice
     to complete such deconversion."

             IN "13. TIME FRAMES FOR RECEIPT AND DELIVERY OF WORK.":

         STRIKE ALL SUBPARAGRAPHS AND REPLACE THEM WITH THE FOLLOWING:

               "JHA will assign a project manager to Client by January 1, 1999.

               JHA shall make available the following:

          -    Access to on-line files between 7:00 A.M. and 7:00 P.M. daily.

          -    Access to print spool files for initiating of report printing at
               Client location between 6:00 A.M. and 7:00 P.M. daily.

          Additional access to on-line and print files may be made available
          upon request by Client.

          Client shall make data available to JHA for daily processing as
          follows:

          -    Maintenance transactions for new and existing Client customers by
               8:00 P.M.

          -    MICR data files for processed items by 8:00 P.M. Later 
               availability times may be made available on request by Client 
               for conditions.

          JHA recognizes that availability of certain data required for
          processing of Client's work (such as ATM and ACH transactions) may not
          be under Client's direct control. JHA will make reasonable efforts to
          accommodate the processing time frames of these other providers.

          For Clients utilizing backroom check processing services of JHA a
          courier pickup and delivery schedule will be established within 30
          days of acceptance of this Agreement by JHA. Additionally, within (30)
          thirty days following the execution of this Agreement JHA and Client
          shall establish mutually acceptable default deadlines for the
          installation of the following systems:

          -    ATM on-line system
          -    Vertex Teller
          -    Cash management system
