DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT

This DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT, dated as of December 20, 1996, by and among
Seafield Capital Corporation, a Missouri corporation ("Seafield") and SLH
Corporation, a newly formed Kansas corporation which is a wholly owned
subsidiary of Seafield ("SLH").

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the Boards of Directors of Seafield and SLH have determined that
it is in the best interests of the shareholders of Seafield: (1) to transfer to
SLH substantially all of Seafield's assets (the "Transfer Assets") other than
its holdings of LabOne, Inc. ("Lab"), and certain other assets (the "Retained
Assets" as more particularly defined below) and certain liabilities (the
"Transfer Liabilities") and (2) to distribute to the holders of the issued and
outstanding shares of common stock, par value $1 per share, of Seafield all of
the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of
SLH (the "Shareholders") in accordance with Article II hereof (the
"Distribution");

WHEREAS, the Distribution is intended to constitute a dividend taxable to
the Shareholders to the extent of Seafields current and accumulated earnings and
profits under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and applicable state
laws;

WHEREAS, the parties hereto have determined that it is necessary and
desirable to set forth the principal corporate transactions required to effect
such Distribution and to set forth other agreements that will govern certain
other matters prior to and following the Distribution;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants
herein contained and intending to be legally bound thereby, the parties hereto
agree as follows:

ARTICLE I
CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS PRIOR TO THE DISTRIBUTION DATE

1.1 ISSUANCE OF STOCK. Prior to or as of the Distribution Date, the
parties hereto shall take all steps necessary to reclassify the outstanding
shares of SLH Common Stock so that, except as otherwise contemplated by this
Agreement, immediately prior to or as of the Distribution Date the number of
shares of SLH Common Stock outstanding and held by Seafield shall equal
approximately one fourth the number of shares of Seafield Common Stock
outstanding on the Record Date.

1.2 TRANSFER OF ASSETS AND ASSUMPTION OF LIABILITIES. Prior to the
Distribution Date, the parties hereto shall take all action necessary to
transfer to SLH, and to cause SLH to assume, as the case may be, effective as of
the Distribution Date, (1) all of the Transfer Assets and (2) all of the
Transfer Liabilities.

1.3 VALUATION OF SLH COMMON STOCK. Seafield and SLH shall take such
steps as may be necessary or appropriate subsequent to the Distribution Date to
determine the Fair Market Value of the SLH Common Stock to be distributed in
the Distribution, as of the Distribution Date. Prior to January 31 1998,
Seafield will report the amount of the Distribution received by each Seafield
shareholder to such shareholder and to the IRS on IRS Form 1099-DIV.

1.4 CONDUCT OF BUSINESS PENDING THE DISTRIBUTION DATE. Each of the
parties hereto agrees that from the date hereof until the Distribution Date,
except as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement, it will use its best efforts
to carry on the SLH Business diligently in the ordinary course and substantially
in the same manner as heretofore conducted and to preserve intact the business
organization and goodwill of the SLH Business (including using its best efforts
to cause its Subsidiaries to take such actions).

1.5 REGISTRATION. Prior to the Distribution Date:

(a) Seafield and SLH shall prepare the Information Statement and
the Registration Statement. SLH shall file the Registration Statement with the
SEC. Seafield and SLH shall use reasonable efforts to cause the Registration
Statement to become effective under the Exchange Act as promptly as reasonably
practicable. Seafield and SLH shall prepare the Information Statement; and
after the Registration Statement becomes effective, Seafield shall mail the
Information Statement to the holders of Seafield Common Stock as of the Record
Date.

(b) The parties hereto shall use their best efforts to take all
such action as may be necessary or appropriate under state securities and Blue
Sky laws in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) The parties hereto shall cooperate in preparing, filing with
the SEC and causing to become effective any registration statements or
amendments thereto which are necessary or appropriate in order to effect the
transactions contemplated hereby or to reflect the establishment of, or
amendments to, any Plans contemplated hereby.

ARTICLE II
THE DISTRIBUTION

2.1 RECORD DATE AND DISTRIBUTION DATE. Subject to the satisfaction of
the conditions set forth in Section 9.1, the Board of Directors of Seafield, or
the Executive Committee thereof, if so authorized by the Board of Directors,
shall establish the Record Date and the Distribution Date and any appropriate
procedures in connection with the Distribution.

2.2 THE AGENT. Prior to the Distribution Date, Seafield or such
financial instituion specializing in securities tranfers as Seafield may appoint
(the "Agent") shall make appropriate arrangements for, among other things, the
payment of the Distribution to the holders of Seafield Common Stock in
accordance with this Article II.

2.3 DELIVERY OF SHARE CERTIFICATES TO THE AGENT. Prior to or as of the
Distribution Date, SLH shall deliver to the Agent, a share certificate
representing all of the outstanding shares of SLH Common Stock to be
distributed in connection with the payment of the Distribution. After the
Distribution Date, upon the request of Seafield, as Agent, SLH shall provide
all certificates for shares of SLH Common Stock that the Agent shall require in
order to effect the Distribution.

2.4 DISTRIBUTION. Except as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement,
Seafield, as Agent, shall distribute, as of the Distribution Date, one share of
SLH Common Stock in respect of each four shares of Seafield Common Stock held
by holders of record of Seafield Common Stock on the Record Date. All shares of
SLH Common Stock issued in the Distribution shall be duly authorized, validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

2.5 PAYMENT IN LIEU OF FRACTIONAL SHARES. No certificates or scrip
representing fractional shares of SLH Common Stock will be issued to Seafield
shareholders or to the accounts of participants in the Seafield 401K Plan or the
Seafield Stock Purchase Plan as part of the Distribution. The Agent will
aggregate fractional shares into whole shares and sell them in the open market
at then prevailing prices on behalf of holders who otherwise would be entitled
to receive fractional share interests, and such persons will receive instead a
cash payment in the amount of their pro rata share of the total sale proceeds.
Proceeds from sales of fractional shares will be paid by the Agent based upon
the average gross selling price per share of Common Stock of all such sales.
Seafield will bear the cost of commissions incurred in connection with such
sales. Such sales are expected to be made as soon as practicable after the
Record Date. None of Seafield, SLH or the Distribution Agent will guarantee any
minimum sale price for the shares of SLH Common Stock, and no interest will be
paid on the proceeds.
3

2.6 DELIVERY OF TAX INFORMATION. Subsequent to the Distribution Date,
Seafield shall deliver the Tax Information to each holder of Seafield Common
Stock on the Record Date January 31, 1998..

ARTICLE III
SURVIVAL, ASSUMPTION AND INDEMNIFICATION

3.1 SURVIVAL OF AGREEMENTS. All covenants and agreements of the
parties hereto contained in this Agreement shall survive the Distribution Date.

3.2 TAXES AND EMPLOYEE-RELATED ASSETS AND LIABILITIES. This Article
III shall not be applicable to any Plan Assets or any Indemnifiable Losses or
Liabilities related to (1) Taxes, which shall be governed by the Tax Sharing
Agreement or (2) the current or former employment of any Seafield Individual or
SLH Individual, or the compensation or benefits for any Seafield Director or SLH
Director, under any Plan or otherwise, which shall be governed by Article VI
hereof and the Assignment and Assumption Agreement.

3.3 ASSUMPTION AND INDEMNIFICATION.

(a) Subject to Section 3.2, the Assignment and Assumption
Agreement, the Tax Sharing Agreement and Article VI, from and after the
Distribution Date, Seafield shall retain or assume, as the case may be, and
shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each SLH Individual and each member of
the SLH Group, and each of their Representatives and Affiliates, from and
against:

(1) all liabilities for third party claims relating to, arising
out of or due to, directly or indirectly, the Distribution or to the
service by any SLH Individual as an officer, director or employee of
any member of the Seafield Group prior to the Distribution, except to
the extent covered by insurance and provided such indemnification
would be permitted by law if such officer, director or employee made a
claim for indemnification,

(2) all Seafield Liabilities and Liabilities of any member of
the Seafield Group under this Agreement or any of the Other
Agreements, and

(3) all Indemnifiable Losses of any such SLH Individual, member
of the SLH Group, Representative or Affiliate relating to, arising out
of or due to, directly or indirectly, the Seafield Assets, the
Seafield Liabilities, the Seafield Business, the Seafield Individuals
or the Seafield Group's Representatives, whether relating to or
arising out of occurrences prior to or after the Distribution Date.

(b) Subject to Section 3.2, the Tax Sharing Agreement, the
Assignment and Assumption Agreement and Article VI, and except as specifically
provided in Section 3.3(a), from and after the Distribution Date, SLH shall
assume, and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Seafield Individual
and each member of the Seafield Group, and each of their Representatives and
Affiliates, from and against,

(1) all SLH Liabilities and all Liabilities of the SLH Group
under this Agreement or any of the Other Agreements, and

(2) all Indemnifiable Losses of any such Seafield Individual,
member of the Seafield Group, Representative or Affiliate relating to,
arising out of or due to, directly or indirectly, the SLH Assets, the
SLH Liabilities, the SLH Business, the SLH Employees or the SLH
Group's Representatives, whether relating to or arising out of
occurrences prior to or after the Distribution Date.

(c) If an Indemnitee realizes a Tax benefit or detriment by reason
of having incurred an Indemnifiable Loss for which such Indemnitee receives an
Indemnity Payment from an Indemnifying Party or by reason of receiving an
Indemnity Payment, then such Indemnitee shall pay to such Indemnifying Party an
amount equal to the Tax benefit, or such Indemnifying Party shall pay to such
Indemnitee an additional amount equal to the Tax detriment (taking into account
any Tax detriment resulting from the receipt of such additional amounts), as the
case may be. If, in the opinion of counsel to an Indemnifying Party reasonably
satisfactory in form and substance to the affected Indemnitee, there is a
substantial likelihood that the Indemnitee will be entitled to a Tax benefit by
reason of an Indemnifiable Loss, the Indemnifying Party promptly shall notify
the Indemnitee and the Indemnitee promptly shall take any steps (including the
filing of such returns, amended returns or claims for refunds consistent with
the claiming of such Tax benefit) that, in the reasonable judgment of the
Indemnifying Party, are necessary and appropriate to obtain any such Tax
benefit. If, in the opinion of counsel to an Indemnitee reasonably satisfactory
in form and substance to the affected Indemnifying Party, there is a substantial
likelihood that the Indemnitee will be subjected to a Tax detriment by reason of
an Indemnification Payment, the Indemnitee promptly shall notify the
Indemnifying Party and the Indemnitee promptly shall take any steps (including
the filing of such returns or amended returns or the payment of Tax
underpayments consistent with the settlement of any Liability for Taxes arising
from such Tax detriment) that, in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnitee, are
necessary and appropriate to settle any Liabilities for Taxes arising from such
Tax detriment. If, following a payment by an Indemnitee or an Indemnifying Party
pursuant to this Section 3.3(c) in respect of a Tax benefit or detriment, there
is an adjustment to the amount of such Tax benefit or detriment, then each of
Seafield and SLH shall make appropriate payments to the other, including the
payment of interest thereon at the federal statutory rate then in effect, to
reflect such adjustments.

(c) The amount which an Indemnifying Party is required to pay to
any Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 3.3 shall be reduced (including
retroactively) by any Insurance Proceeds and other amounts actually recovered by
such Indemnitee in reduction of the related Indemnifiable Loss, it being
understood and agreed that each of Seafield and SLH shall use its best efforts
to collect any such proceeds or other amounts to which it or any of its
Subsidiaries is entitled, without regard to whether it is the Indemnifying Party
hereunder. If an Indemnitee receives an Indemnity Payment in respect of an
Indemnifiable Loss and subsequently receives Insurance Proceeds or other amounts
in respect of such Indemnifiable Loss, then such Indemnitee shall pay to such
Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the difference between (1) the sum of the
amount of such Indemnity Payment and the amount of such Insurance Proceeds or
other amounts actually received and (2) the amount of such Indemnifiable Loss,
adjusted (at such time as appropriate adjustment can be determined) in each case
to reflect any premium adjustment attributable to such claim. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 3.3, each party's indemnity under this
Section 3.3 shall include the increased cost and expense of purchasing insurance
against future losses, provided and to the extent that such cost and expense is
directly attributable to Indemnifiable Losses.

3.4 PROCEDURE FOR INDEMNIFICATION.

(a) If any Indemnitee receives notice of the assertion of any
Third-Party Claim with respect to which an Indemnifying Party is obligated under
this Agreement to provide indemnification, such Indemnitee shall give such
Indemnifying Party notice thereof promptly after becoming aware of such
Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that the failure of any Indemnitee to give
notice as provided in this Section 3.4 shall not relieve any Indemnifying Party
of its obligations under this Article III, except to the extent that such
Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. Such
notice shall describe such Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail and, if
practicable, shall indicate the estimated amount of the Indemnifiable Loss that
has been or may be sustained by such Indemnitee.

(b) An Indemnifying Party, at such Indemnifying Party's own
expense and through counsel chosen by such Indemnifying Party (which counsel
shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee), may elect to defend any
Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that such an election by the Indemnifying
Party shall be deemed an admission of its obligation to indemnify the Indemnitee
with respect to such Third-Party Claim. If an Indemnifying Party elects to
defend a Third-Party Claim, then, within ten Business Days after receiving
notice of such Third-Party Claim (or sooner, if the nature of such Third-Party
Claim so requires), such Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnitee of its
intent to do so, and such Indemnitee shall cooperate in the defense of such
Third-Party Claim. Such Indemnifying Party shall pay such Indemnitee's
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with such cooperation.
After notice from an Indemnifying Party to an Indemnitee of its election to
assume the defense of a

Third-Party Claim, such Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such
Indemnitee under this Article III for any legal or other expenses subsequently
incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof; provided,
however, that such Indemnitee shall have the right to employ one law firm as
counsel to represent such Indemnitee (which firm shall be reasonably acceptable
to the Indemnifying Party) if, in such Indemnitee's reasonable judgment, either
a conflict of interest between such Indemnitee and such Indemnifying Party
exists in respect of such claim or there may be defenses available to such
Indemnitee which are different from or in addition to those available to such
Indemnifying Party, and in that event (1) the reasonable fees and expenses of
such separate counsel shall be paid by such Indemnifying Party and (2) each of
such Indemnifying Party and such Indemnitee shall have the right to run its own
defense in respect of such claim. If an Indemnifying Party elects not to defend
against a Third-Party Claim, or fails to notify an Indemnitee of its election as
provided in this Section 3.4 within the period of ten Business Days described
above, such Indemnitee may defend, compromise and settle such Third-Party Claim;
provided, however, that no such Indemnitee may compromise or settle any such
Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party,
which consent shall not be withheld unreasonably. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the
Indemnitee, (1) settle or compromise any Third-Party Claim or consent to the
entry of any judgment which does not include as an unconditional term thereof
the delivery by the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnitee of a written release
from all Liability in respect of such Third-Party Claim or (2) settle or
compromise any Third-Party Claim in any manner that may adversely affect the
Indemnitee.
3.5 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. The remedies provided in this Article III
shall be cumulative and shall not preclude assertion by any Indemnitee of any
other rights or the seeking of any other remedies against any Indemnifying
Party.

ARTICLE IV
CERTAIN ADDITIONAL COVENANTS

4.1 FURTHER ASSURANCES.

(a) In addition to the actions specifically provided for elsewhere
in this Agreement and the Other Agreements, each of the parties hereto shall use
its best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause
to be done, all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable under
applicable laws, regulations and agreements to consummate and make effective the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing,
each party hereto shall cooperate with the other parties, and execute and
deliver, or use its best efforts to cause to be executed and delivered, all
instruments, including instruments of conveyance, assignment and transfer, and
to make all filings with, and to obtain all consents, approvals or
authorizations of, any

governmental or regulatory authority or any other Person under any permit,
license, agreement, indenture or other instrument, and take all such other
actions as such party may reasonably be requested to take by any other party
hereto from time to time, consistent with the terms of this Agreement, in order
to effectuate the provisions and purposes of this Agreement and the transfers of
Assets and Liabilities and the other transactions contemplated hereby and the
Other Agreements. If any such transfer of Assets or Liabilities is not
consummated prior to or at the Distribution Date, then the party hereto
retaining such Asset or Liability shall thereafter hold such Asset in trust for
the use and benefit of the party entitled thereto (at the expense of the party
entitled thereto), or shall retain such Liability for the account of the party
by whom such Liability is to be assumed pursuant hereto, as the case may be, and
shall take such other action as may be reasonably requested by the party to whom
such Asset is to be transferred, or by whom such Liability is to be assumed, as
the case may be, in order to place such party, insofar as reasonably possible,
in the same position as if such Asset or Liability had been transferred as
contemplated hereby. If and when any such Asset or Liability becomes
transferable, such transfer shall be effected forthwith. The parties hereto
agree that, as of the Distribution Date, each party hereto shall be deemed to
have acquired complete and sole beneficial ownership of all of the Assets,
together with all rights, powers and privileges incident thereto, and shall be
deemed to have assumed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement all of the
Liabilities, and all duties, obligations and responsibilities incident thereto,
that such party is entitled to acquire or required to assume pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement.

(b) Without limiting the generality of Section 4.1(a), Seafield,
as the sole stockholder of SLH, shall ratify any actions which are reasonably
necessary or desirable to be taken by SLH to effectuate the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement in a manner consistent with the terms of this
Agreement, including the preparation and implementation of appropriate Plans for
SLH Employees.

4.2 SLH BOARD. Prior to, or simultaneously with, the Distribution
Date, SLH shall take such actions as are necessary such that its Board of
Directors is comprised of those individuals named as directors in the
Information Statement.

4.3 CONTINUING CONTRACTUAL ARRANGEMENTS. Notwithstanding anything in
this Agreement to the contrary, except as set forth in Sections 4.4 and 4.5, to
the extent that any member of either Group is now providing or selling, or in
the future may provide or sell, to any member of the other Group any services,
benefits or products pursuant to any written or oral agreement or understanding
whatsoever, such agreement or understanding shall not be deemed altered, amended
or terminated as a result of this Agreement or the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby.

4.4 INTERCOMPANY ACCOUNTS AND SLH NOTE. Effective as of the
Distribution Date all intercompany receivables, payables, loans or advances
between

Seafield and SLH shall be treated in the manner provided in the Assignment and
Assumption Agreement.

4.5 OTHER AGREEMENTS. Each of Seafield and SLH shall use reasonable
efforts to enter into, or to cause the appropriate members of its Group to enter
into, the Other Agreements prior to the Distribution Date. If there shall be a
conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the
Other Agreements, the provisions of the Other Agreements shall control.

ARTICLE V
ACCESS TO INFORMATION

5.1 PROVISION OF CORPORATE RECORDS. Prior to or as promptly as
practicable after the Distribution Date, Seafield shall deliver to SLH all
corporate books and records of the SLH Group and copies of all corporate books
and records of the Seafield Group relating to the SLH Assets, the SLH
Liabilities, or the SLH Business, including in each case all active agreements,
active litigation files and government filings. From and after the Distribution
Date, all books, records and copies so delivered shall be the property of SLH.

5.2 ACCESS TO INFORMATION. From and after the Distribution Date, each
of Seafield and SLH shall afford to the other and to the other's Representatives
reasonable access and duplicating rights during normal business hours to all
Information within such party's possession relating to such other party's
businesses, Assets or Liabilities, insofar as such access is reasonably required
by such other party. Without limiting the foregoing, Information may be
requested under this Section 5.2 for audit, accounting, claims, litigation and
Tax purposes, as well as for purposes of fulfilling disclosure and reporting
obligations.

5.3 PRODUCTION OF WITNESSES. After the Distribution Date, each of
Seafield and SLH shall use reasonable efforts to make available to the other,
upon written request, its directors, officers, employees and agents as witnesses
to the extent that any such Person may reasonably be required (giving
consideration to business demands of such Persons) in connection with any legal,
administrative or other proceedings in which the requesting party may from time
to time be involved.

5.4 RETENTION OF RECORDS. Except as otherwise required by law or
agreed in writing, or as otherwise provided in the Tax Sharing Agreement, each
of Seafield and SLH shall retain, for a period of at least ten years following
the Distribution Date, all significant Information in such party's possession or
under its control relating to the business, Assets or Liabilities of the other
party and, after the expiration of such ten-year period, prior to destroying or
disposing of any of such Information, (a) the party

proposing to dispose of or destroy any such Information shall provide no less
than 30 days' prior written notice to the other party, specifying the
Information proposed to be destroyed or disposed of, and (b) if, prior to the
scheduled date for such destruction or disposal, the other party requests in
writing that any of the Information proposed to be destroyed or disposed of be
delivered to such other party, the party proposing to dispose of or destroy such
Information promptly shall arrange for the delivery of the requested Information
to a location specified by, and at the expense of, the requesting party.

5.5 CONFIDENTIALITY. From and after the Distribution Date, each of
Seafield and SLH shall hold, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause
its Affiliates and Representatives to hold, in strict confidence all Information
concerning the other party obtained by it prior to the Distribution Date or
furnished to it by such other party pursuant to this Agreement or the Other
Agreements and shall not release or disclose such Information to any other
Person, except its Representatives, who shall be bound by the provisions of this
Section 5.5; provided, however, that Seafield and SLH may disclose such
Information to the extent that (a) disclosure is compelled by judicial or
administrative process or, in the opinion of such party's counsel, by other
requirements of law, or (b) such party can show that such Information was (1)
available to such party on a nonconfidential basis prior to its disclosure by
the other party, (2) in the public domain through no fault of such party or (3)
lawfully acquired by such party from other sources after the time that it was
furnished to such party pursuant to this Agreement or the Other Agreements.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of Seafield and SLH shall be deemed to have
satisfied its obligations under this Section 5.5 with respect to any Information
if it exercises the same care with regard to such Information as it takes to
preserve confidentiality for its own similar Information.

ARTICLE VI
EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

6.1 SEAFIELD PENSION PLAN. As soon as practicable after the
Distribution Date Seafield and SLH will take such steps as the Seafield Board
shall determine to distribute to or for the benefit of SLH Employees their
interests in the Seafield Pension Plan. Any liability relating to such plan
shall be deemed a Retained Liability under the Assignment and Assumption
Agreement.

6.2 SEAFIELD 401K PLAN. As soon as practicable after the Distribution
Date Seafield and SLH will take steps steps as the Seafield Board shall
determine to distribute to or for the benefit of SLH Employees their interests
in the Seafield Pension Plan. Any liability relating to such plan shall be
deemed a Retained Liability under the Assignment and Assumption Agreement.

6.3 SEAFIELD STOCK PURCHASE PLAN. The Seafield Stock Purchase Plan
shall continue in effect after the Distribution and Obligations thereunder shall

6.4 SEAFIELD STOCK OPTION PLANS. Obligations under the Seafield Stock

action necessary to adopt the SLH Option Plan (in the form of Exhibit E hereto).
As of the Distribution Date, employment of an Optionee under any of the Seafield
Stock Option Plans as a director, officer or employee of SLH or any SLH
Subsidiary, shall be deemed to constitute employment by Seafield under the
Seafield Stock Option Plans so that the Optionee's termination of employment
with Seafield shall not accelerate the expiration of the term of the Option;
provided that this provision shall not apply to an Incentive Stock Option
without the express written consent of the Optionee. In addition, employees of
Seafield who are provided to SLH under the Facilities Sharing and Interim
Services Agreements who become optionees under the SLH Option Plan shall be
deemed to be employees of SLH for purposes of that plan.

6.5 SEAFIELD SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT AGREEMENTS. As of the
Distribution Date as to any SLH Employee who is a party to a Seafield
Supplemental Retirement Agreement, Seafield shall retain, or cause one or more
members of the Seafield Group to assume or retain, as the case may be, and

either Group whether or not incurred prior to the Distribution Date in

respect of any such SLH Employee.

would otherwise have under the terms of such Plan or otherwise, and no provision

and the right to be defended by or at the expense of the insurer, with respect

member of the Seafield Group with respect to any third-party SLH Claim under any
Seafield Policy.

but not the obligation to pay premiums (retrospectively-rated or otherwise)

respectively. The parties hereto agree to use their best efforts to cooperate
with respect to insurance matters.

of any Insurance Policy or Service Agreement). SLH shall make any reimbursement
required by clause (a) of this Section 8.6 at the time required by the relevant
Insurance Policy or Service Agreement. SLH shall make any reimbursement required
by clause (b) of this Section 8.6, on a monthly basis.

8.7 INSURER INSOLVENCY. Seafield shall not be obligated to reimburse
SLH for any SLH Claim under any Insurance Policies where such SLH Claim would

party to pay such SLH Claim.

8.8 NO REDUCTION OF COVERAGE. Seafield shall take no action to
eliminate or materially reduce coverage under any Seafield Policy or Service
Agreement for any SLH Claim.

Claim. In the event that Insured Claims of more than one Group exist relating to
the same occurrence, the parties hereto agree to defend such Insured Claims
jointly and to waive any conflict of interest necessary to the conduct of such

TAX SHARING AGREEMENT

THIS TAX SHARING AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made as of _______, 1997 by
Seafield Capital Corporation, a Missouri corporation ("Seafield"), and SLH
Corporation, a Kansas corporation ("SLH").

WHEREAS, SLH is a newly-formed corporation to which Seafield has on the
date hereof transferred certain assets, subject to certain liabilities, in
exchange for 100 percent of the issued and outstanding common stock of SLH
(which common stock is the only issued and outstanding capital stock of SLH);
and

WHEREAS, the assets transferred by Seafield to SLH on the date hereof
include 100 percent of the outstanding capital stock of BMA Resources, Inc., a
Missouri corporation, and 100 percent of the outstanding capital stock of Scout
Development Corporation, a Missouri corporation which itself owns 100 percent of
the capital stock of Scout Development Corporation of New Mexico, a Missouri
corporation and 100 percent of the capital stock of Carousel Apartment Homes,
Inc. ("Carousel") (SLH, BMA Resources, Inc., Scout Development Corporation,
Scout Development Corporation of New Mexico and Carousel are hereinafter
collectively the "SLH Group"); and

WHEREAS, Seafield and SLH have contemporaneously herewith entered into a
Distribution Agreement (the "Distribution Agreement") pursuant to which all of
the issued and outstanding common stock of SLH is to be distributed effective as
of the close of business on the date hereof (the "Distribution Date") by
Seafield to the holders of its common stock on a pro rata basis (the
"Distribution"); and

WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to provide for the payment of tax lia-
bilities and entitlement to tax refunds for the taxable periods ending before,
on, and after the Distribution Date, to allocate responsibility for and provide
for cooperation in the preparation and filing of tax returns with respect to
such taxable periods, and to provide for certain other related matters;

NOW, THEREFORE, Seafield, on behalf of itself and its present, former, and
future subsidiaries, other than members of the SLH Group as hereinafter defined
(the "Seafield Group"), and SLH, on behalf of itself and the SLH Group, in
consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants contained herein,
acknowledge and agree as follows:

ARTICLE I.
PREPARATION AND FILING OF TAX RETURNS

Section 1.1. General Rules.

(a) Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement:
the term "Taxes" shall mean all forms of taxation and shall include without
limitation income, alternative minimum, superfund, sales, use, ad valorem, gross
receipts, franchise, transfer, recording, withholding, employment, excise, and
occupation taxes, together with any related interest, penalties, and additions
to tax, or additional amounts, imposed by any governmental authority upon the
Seafield Group, the SLH Group, or any of their respective members or any
combination thereof; the term "Tax" shall mean any of the Taxes; and the term
"Tax Return" shall mean any return, filing, questionnaire, or other document
required by law to be filed, including any amendment and refund claim that
constitutes an amendment to any of the foregoing that is required or permitted
to be filed, for any period with any governmental authority or other person in
connection with any Taxes (whether or not a payment is required to be made with
respect to such filing).

(b) Preservation of Accounting Methods and Tax Elections.
All Tax Returns filed by any member of the Seafield Group or by any member of
the SLH Group after the Distribution Date shall be prepared on a basis which
does not have an adverse effect on the elections, accounting methods,
conventions, closing agreements, and principles of taxation used in any Tax
Return filed by any such person for any taxable period ending on or before the
Distribution Date, and shall be filed on a timely basis by the party responsible
for such filing under this Agreement.

(c) Decisions Regarding Tax Returns. Subject to the
provisions of this Agreement, all decisions relating to the preparation and
filing of Tax Returns and relating to the handling of any audit or other review
of such Tax Returns by any governmental authority shall be made in the sole
discretion of the party responsible under this Agreement for such filing.

Section 1.2. Pre-Distribution Period Tax Returns.

(a) Continued Effectiveness of Prior Seafield Tax Sharing
Agreement. The parties acknowledge that Seafield, its subsidiaries, and members
of the SLH Group are parties to a Tax Sharing Agreement dated as of August 1,
1990 (the "Prior Tax Agreement"). Notwithstanding the change in the federal
income tax consolidated group of which Seafield is the common parent corporation
that results from the Distribution (and similar changes that may result under
state or local law), the Prior Tax Agreement shall continue in full force and
effect after the Distribution Date with respect to all Tax Returns otherwise
subject to the provisions of such Prior Tax Agreement that relate to fiscal
periods beginning before the Distribution Date. The Prior Tax Agreement, as
modified, amplified, and supplemented by this Agreement, shall be interpreted in
accordance with

the past practices under such agreement of the parties thereto. The parties
acknowledge that, in accordance with the preceding provisions of this Section
1.2(a), Seafield shall be responsible for and shall pay all Federal income Taxes
arising as a result of the Distribution.

(b) Performance of Parties Under Prior Tax Agreement. SLH
shall cause each member of the SLH Group to perform on a timely basis all of
such member's obligations, if any, under the Prior Tax Agreement and, in
addition, shall promptly provide to Seafield upon request all information that
Seafield may reasonably request from time to time (including tax computations,
reconciliations of book and taxable incomes, and other similar information that
SLH or a member of the SLH Group must affirmatively prepare) that may be needed
by Seafield to file Tax Returns or otherwise perform under the Prior Tax
Agreement or to monitor the performance of any other party under such contract.
Seafield shall itself and shall cause each other member of the Seafield Group to
perform on a timely basis all of its or such member's obligations, respectively,
under the Prior Tax Agreement and shall promptly provide to SLH upon request all
information that SLH may reasonably request from time to time relating to the
Tax liability of any member of the Seafield Group or the SLH Group with respect
to a Tax Return that is subject to the provisions of the Prior Tax Agreement or
to the performance under such contract of any of the parties thereto.

(c) Tax Returns Not Governed by Prior Tax Agreement. For
purposes of the preceding Sections 1.2(a) and (b) (i.e., for purposes of filing
Tax Returns and paying Taxes pursuant to the Prior Tax Agreement for fiscal
periods beginning prior to the Distribution Date), paragraph 7 of the Prior Tax
Agreement is hereby modified to refer to and include all municipal and state
Taxes with respect to which combined, consolidated, or unitary reporting is
permissible, rather than merely referring to and including state income Taxes.
All Tax Returns other than the Tax Returns described in Section 1.2(a) and the
preceding sentence which include or are filed with respect to a member of the
Seafield Group or the SLH Group for periods beginning before the Distribution
Date shall be filed by the member of the Seafield Group or the SLH Group, as the
case may be, that is required to file such return by law.

(d) Carryback of Tax Attributes. For purposes of this
Agreement: the term "Tax Attribute" shall mean any net operating loss, capital
loss, or tax credit allowed by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 or any
successor thereto and the regulations promulgated thereunder (the "Code") or
equivalent state statute or local ordinance; and the term "Tax Benefit" shall
mean the amount of the decrease in Taxes resulting from any increase or decrease
in any item including, but not limited to, any item of income or deduction, gain
or loss, or tax credit. If any member of the SLH Group shall have a Tax
Attribute that can only be utilized on a consolidated, combined, or unitary Tax
Return filed by Seafield for a fiscal year beginning before the Distribution
Date, then Seafield shall promptly upon SLH's request (and upon SLH furnishing
to Seafield all information relevant to such Tax Attribute) file an amended Tax
Return for such fiscal year reporting

such Tax Attribute and shall pay to such member of the SLH Group the Tax Benefit
attributable to such Tax Attribute, all in accordance with the provisions of the
Prior Tax Agreement; provided, Seafield may withhold from such payment and
retain for itself a reasonable fee to compensate it for the effort and expense
incurred by it in filing such amended Tax Return. If any member of the SLH
Group shall have a Tax Attribute that can be utilized either on a consolidated,
combined, or unitary Tax Return filed by Seafield for a fiscal year beginning
before the Distribution Date or on a Tax Return for a fiscal year beginning on
or after the Distribution Date, then such Tax Attribute may be carried back to
the earlier fiscal period's Tax Return (in accordance with the procedures de-
scribed in the preceding sentence) if Seafield and SLH mutually so agree, and if
not then the SLH Group member may utilize the Tax Attribute only on the later
fiscal period's Tax Return.

(e) Apportionment of Tax Attributes. If all or a portion of
any Tax Attribute arising in any taxable period beginning before the
Distribution Date is apportioned to a tax year of any member of the SLH Group
beginning on or after the Distribution Date pursuant to any provisions of the
Code (or equivalent state or local law or regulation), then SLH shall retain the
Tax Benefit related to the Tax Attribute so apportioned.

Section 1.3. Post-Distribution Period Tax Returns. All Tax Returns and
Taxes for periods beginning on or after the Distribution Date shall be the
responsibility of the Seafield Group if such Tax Returns or Taxes are legally
due from the Seafield Group and shall be the responsibility of the SLH Group if
such Tax Returns or Taxes are legally due from the SLH Group.

ARTICLE II
DEFICIENCIES AND REFUNDS OF TAXES

Section 2.1. Definition of Final Determination. For purposes of this
Agreement the term "Final Determination" shall mean the final resolution of
liability for any Tax for a taxable period: (i) by Internal Revenue Service
("IRS") Form 870-AD (or any successor forms thereto) on the date of acceptance
by or on behalf of the IRS, or by a comparable form under the laws of other
jurisdictions; (ii) by a decision, judgment, decree, or other order by a court
of competent jurisdiction which has become final and unappealable; (iii) by
closing agreement or accepted offer in compromise under Section 7121 or 7122 of
the Code, or comparable agreement under the laws of other jurisdictions; (iv) by
any allowance of a refund or credit in respect of an overpayment of Tax, but
only after the expiration of all periods during which such refund may be
recovered (including by way of offset) by the Tax-imposing jurisdiction; or (v)
by any other final disposition, including by reason of the expiration of the
applicable statute of limitations or by mutual agreement of the parties.

Section 2.2. Payment of Deficiencies by SLH. The provisions of this
Section 2.2 are intended to amplify the provisions of paragraph 6 of the Prior
Tax Agreement. If a Final Determination is made that results in any adjustments
to any Tax Return of Seafield in which any member of the SLH Group is included
for taxable periods beginning before the Distribution Date, then to the extent
that such adjustments result in a greater Tax for such SLH Group member or any
Seafield Group member (in either case without regard to any offsetting
adjustments to other members of the Seafield Group), such member of the SLH
Group shall be liable for such increase in Taxes. If any member of the SLH
Group shall have any liability as a result of this Section 2.2, SLH shall pay to
Seafield, hold Seafield harmless, and indemnify Seafield for any such Tax
liability, costs, and attorneys fees, and the amount thereof shall be paid by
SLH to Seafield within 15 days of the receipt by SLH of written notice of such
liability, together with a computation of the amount due and supporting
documentation in such detail as SLH may reasonably request to verify the
computation of the amount due. Any such required payment not made within such
15-day period shall thereafter bear interest until paid at the then most
recently published rate of interest charged by the IRS on income tax
deficiencies pursuant to Code section 6621(a)(2).

Section 2.3. Payment of Refunds to SLH. The provisions of this Section
2.3 are intended to amplify further the provisions of paragraph 6 of the Prior
Tax Agreement. If a Final Determination is made that results in any adjustments
to any Tax Return of Seafield in which any member of the SLH Group is included
for taxable periods beginning before the Distribution Date, then to the extent
that such adjustments decrease the Tax liability attributable to any member of
the SLH Group and result in a Tax Benefit to Seafield or any member of the
Seafield Group (without regard to any offsetting adjustments to other members of
the Seafield Group), then Seafield shall remit to SLH any refunds of Taxes
received by or credited to it as a result of the adjustments attributable to a
member of the SLH Group. Seafield shall pay any amounts due from it to SLH as a
result of this Section 2.3 within 15 days of its receipt of the relevant refund
or credit from the IRS or any state or other governmental unit, as the case may
be. Any such required payment not made within such 15-day period shall
thereafter bear interest until paid at the then most recently published rate at
which the IRS pays interest on tax refunds pursuant to Code section 6621(a)(1).
Such payments shall be accompanied by a computation of the amount due and
supporting documentation in such detail as SLH may reasonably request to verify
the computation of the amount due. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, except as provided in this Section 2.3, no member of the SLH
Group shall be entitled to any payment or benefit as a result of the receipt of
any Tax refund received by any member of the Seafield Group except to the extent
such refund is attributable to the overpayment of estimated Taxes by the SLH
Group or any member thereof.

ARTICLE III
TAX AUDITS, TRANSACTIONS AND OTHER MATTERS

Section 3.1. Tax Audits and Controversies.

(a) Federal, State, or Local Income or Franchise Taxes.
Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3.1, Seafield shall have the
exclusive authority and obligation to represent each member of the SLH Group
before the IRS or any other governmental agency or authority or before any court
with respect to any matter affecting the federal, state, or local income or
franchise Tax liability of any member of either the Seafield Group or the SLH
Group for any Tax period beginning before the Distribution Date, in each such
case: (i) allowing representatives of the SLH Group, including without
limitation outside counsel and consultants, to participate in good faith in all
respects in all such Tax proceedings affecting any member of the SLH Group; and
(ii) acting in the best interests of both the Seafield Group and the SLH Group.

Such representation shall include but shall not be limited to
exclusive control over: (i) any response to any examination of federal, state,
or local income or franchise Tax Returns; and (ii) any contest or litigation
through a Final Determination of any issue included in any Tax Return that
includes a member of the Seafield Group, including but not limited to: (A)
whether and in what forum to conduct such contest; and (B) whether and on what
basis to settle such contest, except that Seafield shall not without SLH's
consent settle any claim, suit, action, or proceeding in respect of which any
member of the SLH Group may incur any then known (by Seafield) future Tax
liability, or in respect of which indemnity for federal, state, or local income
or franchise Taxes may be sought hereunder against SLH or any member of the SLH
Group, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Seafield shall give
timely notice to SLH of any inquiry, the assertion of any claim, or the
commencement of any suit, action, or proceeding in respect of which any member
of the SLH Group may incur any then known (by Seafield) future Tax liability or
in respect of which indemnity for federal, state, or local income or franchise
Taxes may be sought under this Agreement against SLH or any member of the SLH
Group and shall give SLH such information with respect thereto as SLH may
reasonably request.

Anything in this Section 3.1 or elsewhere in this Agreement to the
contrary notwithstanding, if SLH contests or litigates any federal, state, or
local income or franchise tax issue in any forum, SLH shall pay and shall
indemnify and hold harmless each member of the Seafield Group from any and all
costs, expenses, and/or liabilities of any type or nature including without
limitation, any federal income tax liability (including interest and penalties
thereon), that are incurred by or imposed upon Seafield or any member of the
Seafield Group which Seafield or such Seafield Group member would not otherwise
have incurred.

(b) Other Taxes. Except as otherwise provided in this
Section 3.1, the party responsible for filing any Tax Return (other than
federal, state, or local income or franchise Tax Returns) pursuant to Section
1.2(c) hereof shall, at its own expense, have the exclusive authority to
represent each member of the Seafield Group and the SLH Group before any
governmental agency or authority or before any court with respect to any matter
affecting the Tax liability of any member of either the Seafield Group or the
SLH Group for any Tax period beginning before the Distribution Date in each
case: (i) allowing representatives of the other group to participate in good
faith in all respects in all such Tax proceedings affecting any member of the
other group; and (ii) acting in the best interests of both the Seafield Group
and the SLH Group.

Such representation shall include but shall not be limited to
exclusive control over: (i) any response to any examination by the governmental
authority of such Tax Returns; and (ii) any contest through a Final
Determination of any issue included in any Tax Return that includes a member of
the SLH Group or the Seafield Group, including but not limited to: (A) whether
and in what forum to conduct such contest; and (B) whether and on what basis to
settle such contest, except that Seafield or any member of the Seafield Group
shall not settle any claim, suit, action, or proceeding in respect of which
indemnity for such Taxes may be sought hereunder against SLH or any member of
the SLH Group without SLH's consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, and except that SLH or any member of the SLH Group shall not settle
any claim, suit, action, or proceeding in respect of which indemnity for such
Taxes may be sought hereunder against Seafield or any member of the Seafield
Group without Seafield's consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld.

Section 3.2. Retention of Books and Records. SLH and Seafield each agrees
to retain and preserve in accessible and reproducible form all Tax Returns,
related schedules, and workpapers, and all accounting and computer records (in
whatever media) and other documents relating thereto (collectively, the "Tax
Documents"), existing on the date hereof or created through or with respect to
taxable periods ending on or before the Distribution Date until the later of:
(a) the expiration of the statute of limitations (including extensions) of the
taxable years to which such Tax Returns and Tax Documents relate; or (b)
December 31, 2006. No Tax Documents shall be destroyed or otherwise disposed of
by either Seafield or SLH (or any member of their respective groups) until the
party intending to make such disposition has given the other party at least 30
days advance notice thereof, whereupon the party receiving such notice shall
have the right, at its own expense, to take possession of such Tax Documents.

Section 3.3. Cooperation Regarding Tax Matters.

(a) SLH's Obligations. In addition to any obligations
imposed pursuant to the Distribution Agreement, SLH and each other member of the
SLH Group shall fully cooperate with Seafield and its representatives, in a
prompt and timely manner, in connection with the preparation and filing of, and
any inquiry, audit, examination,

investigation, dispute, or litigation involving, any Tax Return filed or
required to be filed by or for any member of the Seafield Group for any taxable
period beginning before the Distribution Date. Such cooperation shall include
but not be limited to making available to Seafield during normal business hours,
and within 30 days of any request therefor, all Tax Documents, books, records,
and information, and the assistance of all officers and employees, necessary or
useful in connection with any Tax inquiry, audit, examination, investigation,
dispute, litigation, or other matter.

SLH agrees on behalf of itself and each other member of the SLH Group
to execute and deliver to Seafield, when so requested by Seafield, any power of
attorney that may be necessary or appropriate to allow Seafield and its counsel
to represent SLH or such SLH Group member in any controversy which Seafield
shall have the right to control pursuant to the terms of Section 3.1 of this
Agreement.

(b) Seafield's Obligation. Except as otherwise provided in
this Article III, Seafield shall fully cooperate with SLH and its
representatives, in a prompt and timely manner, in connection with the
preparation and filing of, and any inquiry, audit, examination, investigation,
dispute, or litigation involving, any Tax Return filed or required to be filed
pursuant to Section 1.2(c) by or for any member of the SLH Group. Such
cooperation shall include but not be limited to making available to SLH during
normal business hours, and within 30 days of any request therefor, all books,
records, and information, and the assistance of all officers and employees,
necessary or useful in connection with any tax inquiry, audit, examination,

business as it shall deem advisable.

Company or a Subsidiary who have executive, managerial, supervisory or
professional responsibilities or (b) Non-Employee Directors; provided that only
NQSOs may be granted to Non-Employee Directors. Officers shall be employees for

Subsidiary.

Section 11.4 or pursuant to a tax withholding election permitted under Section
19.2 hereof, and any Shares owned by a Grantee which are used in the exercise of
an Option under Section 11.3 hereof shall be deemed issued under the Plan.

6. GRANTING OF OPTIONS

6.1 Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee may from time to
time grant Options to persons eligible under Section 4 above; provided that if

Options are granted to a Non-Employee Director either for more than 16,200
Shares or with a grant date other than either the Distribution Date (in the case
of Non-Employee Directors who are first appointed or elected on the date this
Plan is first approved by the Board) or on the later of the Distribution Date
and the date a Non-Employee Director first assumes office as a Director (in the
case of any Non-Employee Director who first assumes office as a Director after
the date this Plan is first approved by the Board), such grant shall be subject
to approval by the Company's stockholders.

6.2 Each person who is a Non-Employee Director as of the Distribution
Date shall, as of the Distribution Date, receive a grant of Options respecting
16,200 Shares, and each Non-Employee Director who first becomes a Director after
the Distribution Date shall, upon first becoming a Director, receive a grant of
Options respecting 8,125 Shares, in all cases without further action by the
Committee, the Board or otherwise.

6.3 Pursuant to Code Section 422 and applicable regulations, an Option
shall not be deemed to be an ISO to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market
Value, as determined on the date or dates of grant, of Shares with respect to
which such ISOs are exercisable for the first time by any individual during any
calendar year (under all stock option incentive plans of the Company or a
Subsidiary) exceeds $100,000. ISOs which first become exercisable during a
calendar year shall be taken into account in the order granted. Options that
exceed the $100,000 limit shall be treated as NQSOs.

6.4 The purchase price of each Share subject to an Option (other than
Options granted to Non-Employee Directors pursuant to Section 6.2 hereof) shall
be fixed by the Committee, provided the purchase price for all Options shall not
be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date the Option
is granted. The purchase price of each Share subject to an Option granted to a
Non-Employee Director pursuant to Section 6.2 hereof shall be 100% of the Fair
Market Value of the Shares on the effective grant date of such Option.

6.5 Notwithstanding Section 6.4 above, pursuant to Code Section 422 and
applicable regulations, the minimum purchase price of an ISO shall be 110% of
the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date the ISO is granted with respect
to Grantees who at the time of grant are deemed to own 10% or more of the voting
power of the Company's outstanding Shares.

6.6 Each Option (other than an Option granted to Non-Employee Directors
pursuant to Section 6.2 hereof) shall expire and all rights to purchase Shares
thereunder shall cease on the date fixed by the Committee. Options

granted to Non-Employee Directors pursuant to Section 6.2 hereof shall expire on
the tenth anniversary of the effective date of grant.

6.7 Notwithstanding Section 6.6 above, pursuant to Code Section 422 and
applicable regulations, ISO Options shall expire and all rights to purchase
Shares thereunder shall cease no later than the fifth anniversary of the date on
which the Option was granted with respect to Grantees who at the time of grant
are deemed to own 10% or more the voting power of the Company, and no later than
the tenth anniversary of the date on which the Option was granted with respect
to other Grantees.

6.8 Each Option (other than Options granted to Non-Employee Directors
pursuant to Section 6.2 hereof) shall become exercisable at the time, and for
the number of Shares, fixed by the Committee. Options granted to Non-Employee
Directors pursuant to Section 6.2 hereof shall become exercisable in four equal
installments: one-fourth on the effective date of grant and one-fourth on each
of the first, second and third anniversaries of the effective date of grant.

7. NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF RIGHTS

No ISO and no rights under any ISO shall be assignable or transferable otherwise
than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and, except to the extent
otherwise provided in Section 11, the rights and the benefits of any such Option
may be exercised and received, respectively, during the lifetime of the Grantee
only by him or by his guardian or legal representative.

8. DEATH, DISABILITY, RETIREMENT AND OTHER TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT

8.1 Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee may make such
provisions concerning exercise or lapse of Options upon the Grantee's death,
disability, retirement, or other termination of employment as it shall in its
discretion determine, provided:

(i) no provision shall extend the Term of an Option,

(ii) except upon a Grantee's death or disability no provision shall
permit an ISO to be exercised after the date three months following the
Grantee's termination of employment,

(iii) no provision shall permit an Option to be exercised after the
date which is twelve months following a Grantee's death or disability,

(iv) no provision shall permit a NQSO to be exercised after the date
which is three years following the Grantee's retirement from the Company or a
Subsidiary,

(v) except upon a Grantee's death, disability or retirement, no
provision shall permit an NQSO to be exercised after the date which is six
months following a Grantee's termination of employment,

(vi) Options granted to a Non-Employee Director pursuant to Section
6.2 hereof shall expire to the extent unexercised on the date which is 90 days
after the date said Non-Employee Director's term as a Director shall terminate;
provided further, that in the event of the death of a Non-Employee Director
during such person's term as a Director or during the 90-day period following
expiration of such term, such Options shall expire to the extent unexercised by
such person's Successor on that date which is 12 months after the date of death,
and

(vii) No provision representing disability or retirement shall be
made a part of any option granted to a Non-Employee Director pursuant to
Section 6.2 hereof, except to the extent provided for in clause (vi) above.

For purposes of this Section 8, the term "disability" shall mean the inability
of the Grantee to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any
medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to
result in death or to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve
months, based on the opinion of a qualified physician (or other medical
certificate) and other evidence acceptable to the Committee, and the term
"retirement" shall mean normal retirement at or after attaining age 65.

8.2 Unless the Committee determines otherwise (but only with respect to
Options granted other than to Non-Employee Directors pursuant to Section 6.2
hereof), Options which pursuant to their terms are exercisable following
termination of a Grantee's employment or the expiration of a Non-Employee
Director's term as a Director:

(i) may be exercised only to the extent exercisable upon the date
such employment terminates, or such term as a Director expires if such
termination or expiration is other than by reason of the Grantee's death, or, in
the case of Options granted other than to Non-

Employee Directors pursuant to Section 6.2 hereof, disability or retirement, and

(ii) shall be accelerated if not yet vested and shall be exercisable
in full,free and clear of all restrictions if such termination or expiration is
by reason of the Grantee's death or, in the case of Options granted other than
to Non-Employee Directors pursuant to Section 6.2 hereof, disability or
retirement.

8.3 Each Grantee may name, from time to time, any beneficiary or
beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or successively) to whom any
benefit or rights under the Plan is to be paid or transferred in case of his
death before he receives any or all of such benefit or exercises such rights.
Each designation will revoke all prior designations by the same Grantee, shall
be in a form prescribed by the Committee, and will be effective only when filed
by the Grantee in writing with the Committee during his lifetime. In the
absence of any such designation, benefits or rights remaining unpaid or
unexercised at the Grantee's death shall be paid to or shall be exercisable by
his estate, subject to the terms hereof.

8.4 Transfers of employment between the Company and a Subsidiary, or
between Subsidiaries, shall not constitute termination of employment for
purposes of any Option. The Committee may specify in the terms and conditions
of an Option grant whether any authorized leave of absence or absence for
military or governmental service or for any other reason shall constitute a
termination of employment for purposes of the Option and the Plan.

TRANSACTION

Notwithstanding any provision in this Plan to the contrary, all outstanding
Options shall become exercisable immediately if any of the following events

representing twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the combined voting power of
the Company's then outstanding securities, provided that this provision shall
not apply to the direct, indirect or beneficial ownership of Shares by
descendants of ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇ or their spouses, or

(2) At any time there shall cease to be a majority of the Board
comprised as follows: individuals who on the date this Plan is adopted by the
Board constitute the Board and any new Director(s) whose election by the Board
or nomination for election by the Company's shareholders was approved by a vote

were Directors on the date this Plan is adopted by the Board or whose election
or nomination for election was previously so approved, or

(3) Any merger or consolidation involving the Company, provided that if
the Company is the surviving entity in a merger then with respect to any Grantee

but need not, be in the form of an agreement to be signed by the Grantee. The
writing shall set forth the nature and size of the Option grant, its Term, the
other terms and conditions thereof, other than those set forth in the Plan, and

writing is in the form of an agreement to be signed by the Grantee.

11. EXERCISE OF RIGHTS UNDER OPTIONS

11.1 A person entitled to exercise an Option may do so by delivery of a
written notice to that effect specifying the number of Shares with respect to
which the Option is being exercised and any other information the Committee may
prescribe.

11.2 The notice of exercise shall be accompanied by payment in full of
the purchase price for any Shares to be purchased, with such payment being made
in cash or in Shares having a Fair Market Value at that time

equivalent to the purchase price of such Shares to be purchased, or a
combination thereof.

evidencing Shares tendered by the Grantee in payment of the purchase price in
exercising an NQSO (but not on ISO), the Grantee may furnish a notarized
statement executed by the Grantee, in such form as prescribed by the Committee,
as payment for all or a portion of the purchase price for such Shares. The
statement shall recite the number of Shares being purchased by the Grantee
pursuant to the Option and the number of Shares owned by the Grantee which
otherwise could be freely delivered as payment of the purchase price by the
Grantee based on their Fair Market Value at that time. The Grantee will then be
issued a certificate for new Shares equal to the number of Shares- acquired by
the Grantee hereunder upon exercise of the Option, less the number of Shares
owned by the Grantee and described in the notarized statement. No Shares shall
be issued upon exercise of an Option until full payment has been made therefor.

11.4 In lieu of payment by the Grantee in cash or in Shares or by
delivery of a notarized statement of ownership pursuant to Sections 11.2 and
11.3, respectively, the Grantee may elect to pay all or part of the purchase
price for Shares pursuant to an exercise of an NQSO (but not an ISO) by
requesting the Company to reduce the number of Shares otherwise issuable to the
Grantee upon the exercise of the Option by the number of Shares with a Fair
Market Value at that time sufficient to pay the exercise price. Any such
election shall be made by delivering written notice thereof to the Company,
together with such information and documents as the Committee may prescribe.

11.5 Upon exercise of an Option but before a distribution of Shares in
satisfaction thereof, the Grantee may request in writing that the Shares to be
issued in satisfaction of the Option exercise be issued in the name of the
Grantee and another person as joint tenants with right of survivorship or as
tenants in common.

11.6 All notices or requests to the Company provided for herein shall be
delivered to the Secretary of the Company.

12. EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE PLAN AND DURATION

12.1 The Plan shall become effective on the Distribution Date, subject
to approval by any governmental body having jurisdiction over the Company with
respect to this Plan within the time limits applicable to any such governmental
approvals.

12.2 The Plan shall remain in effect until all Options have been
exercised in accordance herewith, but no Options may be granted under the Plan
after December 31, 2001. The terms of any Option may be amended at any time
prior to the end of its Term in accordance with the Plan.

13. DATE OF OPTION GRANT

The date of an Option grant shall be the date on which the Committee's
determination to grant the same is final, or such later date as shall be
specified by the Committee in connection with its determination; provided that
the date of grant for an Option granted pursuant to Section 6.2 hereof shall be
as specified in Section 6.

14. SHAREHOLDER STATUS

No person shall have any rights as a shareholder by virtue of the grant of an
Option under the Plan, except with respect to Shares actually issued to that
person.

15. POSTPONEMENT OR NON-EXERCISE

Shares upon the exercise of an Option granted under the Plan prior to (i) the
obtaining of any approval from any governmental agency which the Company shall,
in its sole discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable, (ii) the taking
of any action in order to comply with restrictions or regulations incident to
the maintenance of a public market for its Shares; and (iii) the completion of
any registration or other qualification of such Shares under any state or
Federal law or rulings or regulations of any governmental body which the Company
shall, in its sole discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable. The
Company shall not be obligated by virtue of any terms and conditions of any
Option or any provisions of the Plan to recognize the exercise of an Option or
to sell or issue shares in violation of the Securities Act or the law of any
government having jurisdiction thereof. Any postponement or delay by the
Company in recognizing the exercise of any Option or in issuing any Shares
hereunder shall not extend the Term of an Option and neither the Company nor its
directors or officers shall have any obligation or liability to the Grantee of
an Option, to a Successor or to any other person with respect to any Shares as
to which the Option shall lapse because of such postponement.

16. TERMINATION, SUSPENSION OR MODIFICATION OF PLAN

The Board may terminate, suspend or modify the Plan at any time and in any
manner, provided, however, that to the extent stockholder approval is required
by the Code (including without limitation, pursuant to Sections 162 or 422
thereof)

or regulations promulgated thereunder, or is required by regulations issued
under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, in order to create or preserve
Company or Grantee benefits or rights under or with respect to Options, the
Board shall not, without authorization of the stockholders, effect any change
(other than through adjustment for changes in capitalization or as otherwise
herein provided) which:

(i) increases the aggregate number of Shares for which Options may be
granted under the Plan or increases in the maximum number of Shares for which
Options may be granted to any one Grantee;

(ii) lowers the minimum option price;

(iii) lengthens the maximum period during which an Option may be
exercised;

(iv) materially modifies the requirements as to eligibility to
participate in the Plan;

(v) extends the period of time during which Options may be granted;
or

(vi) materially increases the benefits of the Plan accruing to
Grantees.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Board may amend the Plan, without
stockholder authorization, to comply with section 16(b) of the Exchange Act or
regulations issued thereunder, to effect registration of the Plan or securities
issuable thereunder under the Securities Act or the laws of any state, or to
obtain any required regulatory approval and (ii) if amendments to the Code or to
the Securities Act or Exchange Act, or regulations issued thereunder, are
adopted after the date of adoption of the Plan, which amendments permit
termination, suspension or modification of the Plan, including but not limited
to the changes referred to above, without stockholder approval, no authorization
by the Company's stockholders of any Board action hereunder shall be required.

No termination, suspension or modification of the Plan shall adversely affect
any right acquired by any Grantee or any Successor under an Option granted
before the date of such termination, suspension or modification unless such
Grantee or Successor shall consent but it shall be conclusively presumed that
any adjustment for changes in capitalization as provided for herein does not
adversely affect any such right.

17. ADJUSTMENTS FOR CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION

17.1 In the event of a recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend,
combination or exchange of shares, merger, consolidation, rights offering,
reorganization or liquidation, or any other change in the corporate structure or
shares

of the Company, the Committee shall (i) make equitable adjustments, to protect
against dilution or enlargement, in the number and kind of Shares authorized by
the Plan and, with respect to outstanding Options, in the number and kind of
Shares covered thereby and in the Option price, and (ii) make such arrangements,
which shall be binding upon the holders of unexpired Options for the
substitution of new Options for any unexpired Options then outstanding under the
Plan or for the assumption of any such unexpired Options.

17.2 The grant of any Option pursuant to the Plan shall not affect in any
way the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications,
reorganizations or changes of its capital or business structure or to merge or
to consolidate or to dissolve, liquidate or sell, or transfer all or any part of
its business or assets, or the business, assets or stock of a Subsidiary.

determination of the persons to receive Options, the form, amount and type of
Options (i.e., ISOs or NQSOs) the terms and provisions of Options and the
written material evidencing such Options, any amendments to the terms and
provisions of any Options, and the granting or rejecting of applications for

Non-Employee Directors whether or not such employees or Non-Employee Directors
are similarly situated.

19. TAXES

19.1 The Company may pay, withhold or require a Grantee to remit to it
amounts sufficient to satisfy the Company's federal, state, local or other tax
withholding obligations attributable to any Option exercise, after giving notice
to the Grantee, and the Company may defer issuance of Shares in connection with
an Option exercise if any such tax, charge or assessment may be pending, until
indemnified to its satisfaction.

19.2 In connection with the exercise of an NQSO, a Grantee may make an
irrevocable election to have Shares otherwise issuable withheld, or tender back
to the Company Shares received, or deliver to the Company previously-acquired
Shares, having a Fair Market Value at the time sufficient to satisfy all or part
of the Company's total federal, state, local and other tax withholding
obligations associated with the transaction.

20. TENURE

Nothing in the Plan or in any agreement entered into pursuant to the Plan shall
confer upon any Grantee the right to continue in the employment of the Company
or any Subsidiary or affect any right which the Company or Subsidiary has to
terminate the employment of such participant. An employee terminated for cause,
as determined by the Company, shall forfeit all of his rights under the Plan,
except as to Options already exercised.

The proceeds received by the Company from the sale of its shares under the Plan
shall be used for general corporate purposes of the Company and its

exercise its corporate rights and powers, including, by way of illustration and
not by way of limitation, the right to grant options for proper corporate
purposes otherwise than under the Plan to any employee or any other person,
firm, corporation, association or other entity, or to grant options to, or
assume options of, any person in connection with the acquisition by purchase,
lease, merger, consolidation or otherwise, of all or any part of the business

governmental agencies or national securities exchanges and self-regulating
entities as may be required. The Plan, and all agreements hereunder, shall be
construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Kansas.

25. EFFECT ON OTHER PLANS

Participation in this Plan shall not affect an employee's eligibility to
participate in any other benefit or incentive plan of the Company or a
Subsidiary. Any Options granted pursuant hereto shall not be used in
determining the benefits provided

under any other plan of the Company or a Subsidiary unless specifically provided
therein.
