ITEM 1. BUSINESS

A. General Description

   Mahaska Investment Company (the "Company") is a financial services holding
company headquartered in Oskaloosa, Mahaska County, Iowa. The Company was
incorporated in Iowa in 1973 and is a bank holding company registered under the
Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 and a savings and loan holding company under
the Savings and Loan Holding Company Act. The Company owns 100% of the stock of
four bank subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the "Banks"). These four
banks are Mahaska State Bank ("MSB"), Central Valley Bank ("CVB"), Pella State
Bank ("PSB") and Midwest Federal Savings and Loan Association of Eastern Iowa
("MFS"). The Company also owns 100% of the stock of a commercial finance
company On-Site Credit Services, Inc. ("On-Site").

   The Bank subsidiaries engage in retail and commercial banking and related
financial services, providing the usual products and services such as deposits,
commercial, real estate, and consumer loans, and trust services. MSB also
provides data processing services to affiliated and non-affiliated banks. On-
Site provides factoring, equipment leasing and accounts receivable financing.

   Since 1988, the Company, either directly or through the Banks, has invested
in loan pool participations that have been purchased by certain non-affiliated
independent service corporations (collectively, the "Servicer") from the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"), the Resolution Trust
Corporation ("RTC"), or from other sources. These loan pool investments
generally consist of performing, nonperforming, or distressed loans, that have
been sold at prices reflecting varying discounts from the aggregate outstanding
principal amount of the underlying loans depending on the credit quality of the
portfolio. The Servicer collects these loans from the borrowers.

   The Company provides services to the Banks and to On-Site including
management assistance, auditing services, human resources administration,
marketing assistance and coordination, assistance with respect to accounting
and operating systems and procedures, and loan review. Charges for these
services are based on the nature and extent of these services.

B. Subsidiaries

   Mahaska State Bank--MSB is a full-service, commercial bank which was
chartered as an Iowa state bank in 1931. The Bank operates in south central
Iowa and serves all of Mahaska county from its main bank and two branch offices
in Oskaloosa and serves portions of Keokuk and Iowa counties from its branch
office in North English. The Bank also maintains one drive-up automated teller
machine located in Oskaloosa. The Bank provides a wide array of retail and
commercial banking services, including demand, savings and time deposits,
loans, trust services, and data processing services to the bank subsidiaries
and to three non-affiliated banks. The Bank also provides full-service
brokerage services to its customers through an affiliation with an independent
broker.

   Central Valley Bank--CVB is a full-service, federally-chartered savings bank
which was formed as a de novo institution by the Company in June 1994. CVB also
operates in south central Iowa from its main office in Ottumwa, which serves
Wapello County, and from its two branches located in Fairfield and one branch
in Sigourney, which serve Jefferson and Keokuk counties, respectively. CVB
provides retail deposit services including demand, savings, and time deposit
products and offers commercial, agricultural, real estate, and consumer loans.
The Bank wholly-owns a service corporation, Valley Financial Services, Inc.,

                                       1
<PAGE>

and renovated in 1997. The Bank provides full retail and commercial banking
services to its customers. The Bank also provides full-service brokerage
services to its customers through an affiliation with an independent broker.

   Midwest Federal Savings and Loan Association of Eastern Iowa--MFS is a full-

institution which offers a variety of financial services to meet the needs of
the communities it serves. MFS is primarily engaged in attracting retail
deposits from the general public and investing those funds primarily in first
mortgages on single family residences and mortgage-backed securities. MFS also
originates and purchases residential construction, small-business commercial,
consumer and other loans in its market area. Tax-deferred annuities and other
financial products are sold by MFS through its wholly-owned subsidiary Midwest
Financial Products, Inc.

   On-Site Credit Services, Inc.--On-Site is an Iowa corporation which was
formed by the Company in 1974 under the name of MIC Leasing Co. The company
operated under the name of On-Site Commercial Services until June 1997 when the
name was officially changed to On-Site Credit Services, Inc. On-Site originates
and services machinery and equipment leases to small businesses and farmers.
The funding of these leases is provided by On-Site through funds provided by
the Company. On-Site also provides accounts receivable financing and factoring
services to small businesses mainly in the state of Iowa. In April of 1999, the
Company's Board of Directors determined that it would discontinue the
activities of On-Site. Management continues to evaluate the options and/or
alternatives related to the assets of the entity. Effective March 21, 2000, the
name of On-Site was changed to MIC Financial, Inc.

C. Loan Pool Participations

   The Company, directly and through the Banks, has participation interests in
pools of loans currently held and serviced by four separate independent
servicing corporations (referred to collectively as the "Servicer"). The four
independent servicing corporations are Central States Resources Corporation,
Midstates Resources Corporation, All States Resources Corporation, and States
Resources Corporation. The Company does not have any ownership interest in or
control over these servicing corporations. Two of the independent servicing
corporations are owned solely by Randal Vardaman and two are owned by Mr.
Vardaman in conjunction with other individuals. Mr. Vardaman has been engaged
in credit analysis and loan portfolio management in various positions since
1970. He founded Central States Resources Corporation in 1988 and organized
Midstates Resources Corporation in 1991, All States Resources Corporation in
1993, and States Resources Corporation in 1998. Prior to the formation of the
servicing corporations, he participated in the liquidation of certain banking
institutions in Iowa, and served as assistant liquidator at the FDIC's Division
of Liquidation.

   The Company has invested in loan pools purchased by the Servicer at varying
discounts from the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the underlying
loans. The loan pools were sold by the FDIC or the RTC acting as conservator,
receiver, or liquidator of failed banks and savings and loan institutions, and
by other large nonaffiliated banking organizations. The loans comprising the
pools were originated throughout the United States. As part of the agreement to
purchase participation interests in the loan pools, the Company and its
subsidiaries have contracted with the Servicer to service the underlying loans
within the respective loan pools which are owned of record by the Servicer. The
Servicer also evaluates various loan pools prior to purchase and makes
recommendations to the Company concerning the creditworthiness of proposed loan
pool purchases and proposes appropriate bids to the Company and any other
potential loan pool participants.

   The Servicer has bid on loan pools from various regional offices of the FDIC
and the RTC, and from other sources. The Company and the Banks have purchased
participation interests in such pools of loans. The purchase prices paid by the
Company for loan pool participations have ranged from 5.5% to 97.7% of the

                                       2
<PAGE>

aggregate outstanding principal amount of the loans comprising such pools at
the time of purchase. The Servicer acquires the loan pools without recourse
against the sellers and, accordingly, the risk of noncollectibility is, for the
most part, assumed by the Company and any other investors in a particular pool.

   Federal law mandated that after July 1, 1995, the RTC no longer was
appointed to act as conservator or liquidator and was phased out of existence
by year end 1995; however, the FDIC assumed the RTC's role with respect to
failed savings and loans, as well as continuing in its role as conservator for
failed banks. While only the FDIC currently offers loan pools, there is no
assurance that it will continue to do so. Beginning in 1996, the Servicer
successfully bid on packages of loans offered for sale by large banking
organizations. The Servicer continues to bid on packages offered by the FDIC
and large banking organizations throughout the country. Should the opportunity
to invest in loan pools not exist in the future, the Company intends to invest
available funds in other income producing assets.

   Each pool has a different composition and different characteristics. The
composition of a loan pool is generally determined by the seller based on its
desire to maximize the price it receives for all loans among the various pools.
Some pools may consist of a large number of small consumer loans which are
unsecured or are secured by other assets such as automobiles or mobile homes,
while other pools may consist of loans primarily secured by real estate, and
yet other pools may consist of small to medium balance commercial loans. Still
other pools may contain a mixture of such loans and other types of loans. Some
pools may contain significant numbers of past-due nonperforming loans while
other pools are comprised almost entirely of performing loans. The price bid
and paid for such a loan pool is determined based on the composition of the
particular pool, the amounts the Servicer believes can be collected on such a
pool, and the risks associated with the collection of such amounts.

   In considering an investment in a loan pool, the Servicer will evaluate
loans owned and being offered and make recommendations to the Company and other
prospective investors concerning the creditworthiness of the proposed loan pool
purchase. The Servicer performs a comprehensive analysis of the loan pool in an
attempt to ensure proper valuation and adequate safeguards in the event of
default. The bid price on the loan pools will be reflective of the results of
the Servicer's pre-acquisition review of the loan files. In many cases the loan
files may not be current and substantial uncertainties may exist regarding the
collectibility of the various loans in the pool. Management believes that in
many instances the non-current loans can be brought current once the Servicer
has an opportunity to contact the debtor. The Company makes its own decisions
as to whether or not to participate in a particular loan pool which has been
recommended by the Servicer, based on the Company's experience with the various
categories and qualities of loans.

   The sales of loan pools by the FDIC and by other sellers is generally
conducted by sealed bid auction. A sealed bid auction requires each bidder to
submit a confidential bid on the subject loan pool and the loan pool is awarded
to the highest bidder. In recent years, the Servicer and the Company have faced
increasing competition in bidding for loan pools.

   Since 1988, the Servicer, on behalf of the Company and other investors, has
bid on a large number of loan pools and has been successful in purchasing 81
loan pools. The Company and other investors in the loan pools fund the purchase
by the Servicer and each investor receives a percentage interest in the loan
pool based on its proportional investment relative to the total purchase price
of the pool. Each investor receives a loan pool participation certificate
reflecting this interest.

   The purchased loan pools consist, for the most part, of loans evidenced by
promissory notes and secured by either real property or personal property. The
value of the collateral may range from nominal to substantial and often may be
impossible to establish prior to acquisition of the pools with the level of
certainty that is typically required in a financial institution.

   Upon the acquisition of a participation interest in a loan pool, the Company
assumes the risk that the Servicer will be unable to recover an amount equal to
the purchase price plus the carrying costs, if any,

                                       3
<PAGE>

collection costs and expected profits on such accounts. The extent of such risk
is dependent on a number of factors, including the Servicer's ability to locate
the debtors, the debtors' financial condition, the possibility that a debtor
may file for protection under applicable bankruptcy laws, the Servicer's
ability to locate the collateral, if any, for the loan and to obtain possession
of such collateral, the value of such collateral, and the length of time it
takes to realize the ultimate recovery either through collection procedures or
through a resale of the loans following a restructure.

   A cost "basis" is assigned to each individual loan acquired on a cents per
dollar (discounted price) based on the Servicer's assessment of the recovery
potential of each such loan. This methodology assigns a higher basis to
performing loans with greater potential collectibility and a lower basis to
those loans identified as having little or no potential for collection.

   Loan pool participations are shown on the Company's balance sheet as a
separate asset category. The original carrying value of loan pool
participations represents the discounted price paid by the Company to acquire
its participation interests in various loan pools purchased by the Servicer.
The Company's investment balance is reduced as the Servicer collects principal
payments on the loans and remits the proportionate share of such payments to
the Company.

   The investment in loan pools is accounted for on a nonaccrual (or cash)
basis in one of three methods, depending on the circumstances. First, if a
borrower makes regular payments on a loan, the payment received is first
applied to interest income in the amount of interest due at the contract rate.
Further payments are applied to principal in a ratio reflecting the proportion
of cost basis to loan principal amount. Payments in excess of interest and this
ratio are recorded as discount income. Discount income earned over the life of
a loan represents loan principal collected in excess of the price originally
paid to acquire the loan from the FDIC, the RTC, or any other sellers, which
price constitutes the cost "basis" of the loan.

   Secondly, if the borrower fails to make regular payments, the Servicer
evaluates the collateral supporting the loan. If the Servicer determines that
the loan is well secured, then payments are applied as previously described. If
the Servicer determines that the collateral is deficient, payments are applied
to the principal balance of the loan with no recognition of interest due. The
cost recovery method governs the application of payments received to the
outstanding principal balance. Under this method, any amount received is
initially applied to the cost "basis" of the loan and any additional amounts
received are recognized as discount income.

   Third, where the Servicer negotiates a settlement of a loan for a lump sum,
the payment is first applied to principal to the extent of the assigned cost
"basis" with the excess treated as discount income up to the original principal
value of the loan, and any remainder is treated as interest income on loan pool
participations. In each case, where changed circumstances or new information
lead the Servicer to believe that collection of the note or recovery of the
basis through collateral would be less than originally determined, the cost
basis assigned to the loan is written down or written off through a charge
against discount income.

   Collection expenses incurred by the Servicer are netted against discount
income. These costs include salary and benefits paid by the Servicer to its
employees, legal fees, costs to maintain and insure real estate owned, and
other operating expenses. Discount income is added to interest income and
reflected as one amount on the Company's consolidated statement of income.
Profit (or loss) from collection activities is determined on a monthly basis
for each servicing corporation from which loan pool participation interests
have been purchased.

   The Company does not recognize as income any accrued interest receivable on
the loan pools. Interest income is only recognized when collected and actually
remitted to the Company by the Servicer. Many of the pools that have been
purchased by the Servicer do not include purchased interest in the cost basis;
thus, interest collected does not have a cost basis and represents profit.
Interest income collected by the Servicer is reflected in the Company's
consolidated financial statements as interest income included as part of
interest income and discount on loan pool participations.

                                       4
<PAGE>

   The Servicer provides the Company with monthly reports detailing collections
of principal and interest, face value of loans collected and those written off,
actual operating expenses incurred, remaining asset balances (both in terms of
cost basis and principal amount of loans), a comparison of actual collections
and expenses with target collections and budgeted expenses, and summaries of
remaining collection targets. Recently, the Servicer has begun providing aging
reports and "watch lists" for the loan pools purchased by States Resources.
Monthly meetings are held between the Company and representatives of the
Servicer to review collection efforts and results, to discuss future plans of
action, and to discuss potential opportunities. Additionally, the Company's and
the Servicer's personnel communicate via telephone and telecopy on a regular
basis to discuss various issues regarding the loan pools. Company management
personnel visit the Servicer's operation in Omaha, Nebraska on a regular basis;
and the Company's loan review officer and its internal auditor perform asset
reviews and audit procedures on a regular basis.

   The terms of the MidStates and All States collection agreements provide for
tracking of each loan pool investment on an individual basis with the Servicer
receiving a "Servicing Fee" of up to twenty-five percent of net interest
collected based on the percentage of net loan principal collections to the
original investment amount. Once the original investment amount has been fully
recovered, the Servicer is no longer entitled to the Servicing Fee. In lieu of
the Servicing Fee, the Servicer receives a "Bonus Fee" of ten percent of all
subsequent net collections and receives a twenty-five percent participation
interest in the individual pool and shares proportionally in all future
collections, net of costs and Bonus Fees. All pools purchased between 1991 and
1997 were subject to the terms of the MidStates and All States arrangement.

   Beginning in 1998, all purchases of loan pools were made by a new servicing
organization called States Resources Corporation. This corporation utilizes a
different collection fee arrangement from MidStates and All States that was
created to enable the Company and the Servicer to invest in higher-quality
performing assets and still provide both parties with an acceptable return.
Under the terms of the States Resources agreement, the Servicer receives a
servicing fee based on one percent of the gross monthly collections of
principal and interest, net of collection costs. Additionally, the Servicer
receives a tiered percentage share of the recovery profit in excess of the
investors' required return on investment on each individual loan pool. In the
event that the return on a particular pool does not exceed the required return
on investment, the Servicer does not receive a percentage share.

   The Company's overall cost basis in its loan pool participations represents
a discount from the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the loans
underlying the pools. For example, as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, such cost
basis was $67,756,000 and $54,510,000, respectively, while the contractual
outstanding principal amounts of the underlying loans as of such dates were
approximately $95,707,000 and $83,058,000, respectively. Because this
discounted cost basis inherently reflects the assessed collectibility of the
underlying loans and thus creates a built-in reserve against the risk of
nonpayment in the loan pools, the Company has not established an allowance for
loan losses relating to the loan pool participations. The Company does not
include any amounts related to the loan pool participations in its totals of
nonperforming loans. As part of the on-going collection process, the servicer
may, from time-to-time, foreclose on real estate mortgages and acquire title to
property in satisfaction of such debts. This real estate may be held by the
servicer as "real estate owned" for a period of time until it can be sold.
Since the Company's investment in loan pools are classified as participtions in
pools of loans, the Company does not include the real estate owned that is held
by the servicer with the amount of any other real estate it may hold directly
as a result of its own foreclosure activities.

   The underlying loans in the loan pool participations include both fixed rate
and variable rate instruments, but are accounted for on a nonaccrual basis, and
no amounts for interest due are reflected in the carrying value of the loan
pool participations. Based on historical experience, the average period of
collectibility for loans underlying the Company's loan pool participations,
many of which have exceeded contractual maturity dates, is approximately three
to five years. Management has reviewed the recoverability of the underlying
loans and believes that the carrying value does not exceed the net realizable
value of its investment in loan pool participations.

D. Competition

   The Company competes in the commercial banking and thrift industries through
its subsidiary banks. These industries are highly competitive, and all the bank
subsidiaries face strong direct competition for deposits, loans, and other
financial-related services. The Banks in Des Moines, Iowa, Jefferson, Keokuk,
Lee, Mahaska, Marion, and Wapello counties in south central and south east Iowa
compete with other commercial banks, other thrifts, credit unions,
stockbrokers, finance divisions of auto and farm equipment companies,
agricultural suppliers, and other agricultural-related lenders. Some of these
competitors are local, while others are statewide or nationwide. The Banks
compete for deposits principally by offering depositors a wide variety of
deposit programs, convenient office locations, hours and other services, and
for loan originations primarily through interest rates and loan fees they
charge, the efficiency and quality of services they provide to borrowers and
the variety of their loan products. Some of the financial institutions and
financial service organizations with which the Banks compete are not subject to
the same degree of regulation as that imposed on bank and thrift holding
companies, federally insured Iowa-chartered banks, and federal savings banks.
As a result, such competitors have advantages over the Banks in providing
certain services. As of December 31, 1999, there were approximately forty other
banks having 99 offices or branches operating within the eight counties that
the Company has locations. New competitors may develop that are substantially
larger and have significantly greater resources than any of the Banks.
Currently, major competitors in certain of the Company's markets include
banking subsidiaries of Wells Fargo (Norwest) Corporation, Firstar Corporation,
Commercial Federal Bank, FSB, and Brenton Banks. As a result of recently passed
federal legislation to allow unlimited interstate branching, the Company may
experience heightened competition from these and other major financial
institutions seeking to expand their regional banking presence in Iowa.

   The Company also faces competition with respect to its investments in loan
pool participations. The Company's financial success to date is largely
attributable to the Servicer's ability to determine the loan pools to bid on
and ultimately purchase, the availability of assets to fund the purchases and
the Servicer's ability to collect on the underlying assets. Investments in loan
pools have become increasingly popular in recent years, leading financial
institutions and other competitors to become active at loan pool auctions
conducted by the FDIC and other sellers. There is no assurance that the
Company, through the Servicer, will be able to bid successfully in the future.
Certain existing competitors of the Company are substantially larger and have
significantly greater financial resources than the Company. Increased
participation by new institutions or other investors may also create increased
buying interest which could also result in higher bid prices for the type of
loan pools considered for investment by the Company. In addition, new and
existing competitors may develop due diligence procedures comparable to the
Servicer's procedures. The emergence of such competition could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business and financial results. The Company
expects that its success in the future will depend more on the performance of
its bank subsidiaries and less on the investment in loan pool participations.

E. Supervision and Regulation

   Bank holding companies, banks, savings and loan holding companies, and
savings and loan associations are extensively regulated under federal and state
law. References under this heading to applicable statutes or regulations are
brief summaries of the portions thereof which do not purport to be complete and
which are qualified in their entirety by reference to those statutes and
regulations. Any change in applicable laws or regulation may have a material
adverse effect on the business of the Company and the Banks.

   The Company, as a bank holding company, is subject to regulation under the
Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 (the "Act") and is registered with the Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Under the Act, the Company is
prohibited, with certain exceptions, from acquiring direct or indirect
ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any company which
is not a bank and from engaging in any business other than that of banking,
managing and controlling banks or furnishing services to affiliated banks,
except that the Company may engage in and own shares of companies engaged in
certain businesses found by the Board of Governors to be so closely related to
banking "as to be proper incident thereto," such as owning a

                                       6
<PAGE>

savings association. The Act does not place territorial restrictions on the
activities of bank-related subsidiaries of bank holding companies. The Company
is required by the Act to file periodic reports of its operations with the
Board of Governors and is subject to examination by the Board of Governors.
Under the Act and Federal Reserve Board regulations, the Company and the Bank
are prohibited from engaging in certain tie-in arrangements in connection with
an extension of credit, lease, sale of property, or furnishing of services.

   Iowa law permits bank holding companies domiciled in Iowa to make
acquisitions throughout the state. Iowa law also permits bank holding companies
located in the Midwestern Region (defined to include Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota,
Missouri, Nebraska, South Dakota, and Wisconsin) to acquire banks or bank
holding companies located in Iowa subject to approval by the Iowa Division of
Banking and subject to certain statutory limitations. In addition, the Company
may acquire banks or bank holding companies located in the Midwestern Region or
outside the Midwestern Region, provided the Company's principal place of
business remains in the Midwestern Region and the acquisition is authorized by
the laws of the state in which the acquisition is to be made.

   As a savings and loan holding company, the Company is subject to federal
regulation and examination by the Office of Thrift Supervision (the "OTS"). The
OTS has enforcement authority over the Company. This authority permits the OTS
to restrict or prohibit activities that are determined to be a serious risk to
the subsidiary savings association. Generally, the activities for a bank
holding company are more limited than the authorized activities for a savings
and loan holding company.

   The Company and its subsidiaries are affiliates within the meaning of the
Federal Reserve Act and OTS regulations. As affiliates, they are subject to
certain restrictions on loans by an affiliated bank or thrift (collectively
"affiliated banks") to the Company, other affiliated banks or such other
subsidiaries, on investments by an affiliated bank in their stock or securities
and on an affiliated bank taking such stock and securities as collateral for
loans to any borrower. The Company is also subject to certain restrictions with
respect to direct issuance, flotation, underwriting, public sale or
distribution of certain securities.

   Under Iowa law, Mahaska State Bank and Pella State Bank are subject to
supervision and examination by the Iowa Division of Banking. As an affiliate of
these banks, the Company is also subject to examination by the Iowa Division of
Banking.

   The deposits of the Banks are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (the "FDIC") and the Banks are, therefore, also subject to the
supervision and examination by the FDIC. The Banks are required to maintain
certain minimum capital ratios established by these regulators. The Banks are
assessed fees based on the institutions' deposits by the FDIC, to insure the
funds of customers on deposit with the institutions.

   In addition, Iowa state law imposes restrictions on the operations of the
state-chartered banks including limitations on the amount a bank can lend to a
single borrower and limitations on the nature and amount of securities in which
it may invest. Among other things, Iowa law imposes restrictions on certain
types of loans made by a bank, limiting the bank from making loans (or
purchasing participation interests in loan pools) secured by real estate
located outside Iowa and its contiguous states in amounts exceeding 25% of its
regulatory capital. There can be no assurance that the Iowa or federal
regulators will not in the future impose further restrictions or limits on the
Company's loan pool activities.

   Iowa law strictly regulates the establishment of bank offices and thus may
affect the Company's future plans to establish additional offices of its banks.
Under Iowa law, a state bank may not establish a bank office outside the
boundaries of the counties contiguous to or cornering upon the county in which
the principal place of business of the state bank is located. The number of
offices a state bank may establish in a particular municipality is also limited
depending upon the municipality's population.

   Central Valley Bank and Midwest Federal Savings are subject to the
supervision of and are regularly examined by the OTS and are assessed fees by
the OTS based upon their individual assets totals. As savings

                                       7
<PAGE>

institutions, both CVB and MFS must maintain certain minimum capital ratios
established by the OTS and are required to meet a qualified thrift lender test
(the "QTL") to avoid certain restrictions upon its operations. The QTL was
modified by the passage of the Economic Growth and Regulatory Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1996. On December 31, 1999, both CVB and MFS complied with the
current minimum capital guidelines and met the QTL test.

   OTS regulations permit federally chartered savings associations to branch
nationwide to the extent allowed by federal statute, enabling federal savings
associations with interstate networks to diversify their loan portfolios and
lines of business.

   The Company operates within a regulatory structure that continuously
evolves. In the last several years significant changes have occurred that
affect the Company.

   The FDIC Improvement Act of 1991 (the "FDICIA") was primarily designed to
recapitalize the FDIC's Bank Insurance Fund (the "BIF") and the Savings
Association Insurance Fund (the "SAIF"). To accomplish this purpose the FDIC
was granted additional borrowing authority, granted the power to levy emergency
special assessments on all insured depository institutions, granted the power
to change the BIF and SAIF rates on deposits on a semiannual basis, and
directed to draft regulations that provided for a "Risk-Based Assessment
System" that was implemented on January 1, 1994. The FDICIA also imposed
additional regulatory safety and soundness standards upon depository
institutions and granted additional authority to the FDIC. The FDICIA generally
requires that all institutions be examined by the FDIC annually. Under the
provisions of the FDICIA, all regulatory authorities are required to examine
their regulatory accounting standards and, to the extent possible, are required
to conform to generally accepted accounting principles. Finally, the FDICIA
requires the federal banking regulators to take prompt corrective action with
respect to depository institutions that fall below certain capital standards
and prohibits any depository institution from making any capital distribution
that would cause it to be undercapitalized.

   Legislation became effective on September 30, 1995 which served to lessen or
remove certain legal barriers to interstate banking and branching by financial
institutions. The legislation has resulted in an increase in the nationwide
consolidation activity occurring among financial institutions by facilitating
interstate bank operations and acquisitions.

   On November 2, 1999, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act was enacted into law. This
legislation provides for significant financial services reform by repealing key
provisions of the Glass Steagall Act thereby permitting commercial banks to
affiliate with investment banks, it substantially modifies the Bank Holding
Company Act of 1956 to permit companies that own banks to engage in any type of
financial activity, and it allows subsidiaries of banks to engage in a broad
range of financial activities that are not permitted for banks themselves. The
effects of this legislation, both from the opportunities for new activities
that the Company may undertake and from the changes in competitors' activities,
have not been fully ascertained at this time.

   The earnings of the Company are affected by the policies of regulatory
authorities, including the Federal Reserve System. Federal Reserve System
monetary policies have had a significant effect on the operating results of
banks and thrifts in the past and are expected to do so in the future. Because
of changing conditions in the economy and in the money markets as a result of
actions by monetary and fiscal authorities, interest rates, credit availability
and deposit levels may change due to circumstances beyond the control of the
Company. Future policies of the Federal Reserve System and other authorities
cannot be predicted, nor can their effect on future earnings be predicted.

F. Employees

   On December 31, 1999, the Company had 148 full-time employees and 19 part-
time employees of which 56 full-time and 10 part-time employees were employed
by MSB, 30 full-time and 3 part-time employees were employed by CVB, 8 full-
time and 2 part-time employees were employed by PSB, 4 full-time employed by

                                       8
<PAGE>

On-Site, 39 full-time and 4 part-time employed by MFS, and 11 full-time
employees were employed directly by the Company. The Company provides its
employees with a comprehensive program of benefits, some of which are on a
contributory basis, including comprehensive medical and dental plans, life
insurance, long-term and short-term disability coverage, a 401(k) plan, and an
employee stock ownership plan. None of the employees are represented by unions.
Management considers its relationship with its employees to be excellent.

I. Distribution of Assets, Liabilities and Shareholders' Equity; Interest Rates
and Interest Differential

   The following table details average balances, interest income/expense and
average rates/yield for the Company's earning assets and interest bearing
liabilities for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 reported on a
fully tax-equivalent basis assuming a 34% tax rate.

   The following table sets forth an analysis of volume and rate changes in
interest income and interest expense of the Company's average earning assets
and average interest-bearing liabilities reported on a fully tax-equivalent
basis assuming a 34% tax rate. The table distinguishes between the changes
related to average outstanding balances (changes in volume holding the initial
interest rate constant) and the changes related to average interest rates
(changes in average rate holding the initial outstanding balance constant). The
change in interest due to both volume and rate has been allocated to volume and
rate changes in proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amounts
of the change in each.

Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis

   The following table sets forth the scheduled repricing or maturity of the
Company's assets and liabilities as of December 31, 1999, based on the
assumptions described below. The effect of these assumptions is to quantify the
dollar amount of items that are interest rate-sensitive and can be repriced
within each of the periods specified. The table does not necessarily indicate
the impact of general interest rate movements on the Company's net interest
margin because the repricing of certain categories of assets and liabilities is
subject to competitive and other pressures beyond the Company's control. As a
result, certain assets and liabilities indicated as maturing or otherwise
repricing within a stated period may, in fact, mature or reprice at different
times and at different volumes.

</TABLE>

   In the table above, NOW and Super NOW deposit account balances and savings
deposits are included as interest-bearing liabilities in the three months or
less.

   Loan pool participations are included in the interest rate sensitivity
analysis using an estimated three-year average life. The historical average for
the return of original investment on the pools is approximately 36 months.
Given the non-performing aspect of the loan pool portfolio, management feels
that the use of contractual weighted-average maturity data is inappropriate.

     1.23 The term "Seller" shall have that meaning given to it in the first
recital paragraph of this Agreement.

     1.24 The term "Servicing Fee" shall have the meaning given to it in Section
7.1 of this Agreement.

     1.25 The term "Termination Date" shall have the meaning given to it in
Section 9.1 of this Agreement.

     1.26 The term "Termination With Cause" shall have the meaning given to it
in Section 9.1 of this Agreement.


     SECTION 2: REVIEW, EVALUATION AND PURCHASE OF THE ASSETS
     --------------------------------------------------------

     2.1 SRC purchased the Assets with the prior approval of the Participants.
This Agreement shall not be construed as creating an exclusive right of any
Participant to participate in funding the purchase of any particular assets in
the future if the Parties fail to agree on the terms of a bid to purchase such
assets or the terms of a servicing agreement with respect thereto; provided,
however, that SRC does commit to sell participations to Mahaska Investment
Company ("MIC"), or its related or affiliated entities to the extent they have
funds available for such purchases if this same Servicing Agreement is
implemented and the terms of the bid are agreed to by SRC and MIC or such
related or affiliated entity. In order to provide SRC with the ability to plan
purchases of assets, MIC and its related and affiliated entities shall provide
SRC with a statement each month of the funds they will have available for the
purchase of participation interests in assets purchased by SRC during the
following sixty (60) day period.

     SRC shall periodically provide to Participants relevant information about
prospective Asset acquisitions to permit Participants the opportunity to
anticipate and plan for future capital needs.

     2.2  The Participants acknowledge and agree that SRC's assessment of the
value of the Assets was a matter of judgment and that SRC shall not be liable to
the Participants for any errors in judgment in valuing the Assets.

     2.3  The costs actually incurred by SRC in evaluating the Assets including
any fee charged by Seller for reviewing the Assets (Costs Reimbursement) shall
be expensed by SRC as part of SRC's costs to be reimbursed as provided by
Section 6.2.

     2.4  SRC will not receive any compensation for the evaluation of the Assets
separate from the

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

compensation set out in this Agreement.

     2.5  MIC has already approved the bids submitted by SRC to Sellers for the
purchase of certain Assets as evidenced by copies of the Agreements and
Certificates of Participation attached hereto as Exhibits 1 through 7.  The MIC
has funded the purchase of the Assets by paying the purchase price (bid amount)
to Seller required by the terms of the Loan Sale Agreement between SRC and
Sellers. MIC has purchased a participation representing a 100% participation
interest in the Assets.

     2.6  SRC shall not purchase a specific group of Assets without the prior
approval of the Participants who are going to participate in funding the
purchase of such specific group of Assets. Such prior approval may be oral, but
shall subsequently be memorialized by a Purchase Addenda. This Agreement shall
not be construed as creating an exclusive right of the Participants to
participate in funding the purchase of any particular assets.  If the parties
fail to agree on the terms of a bid to purchase assets or the terms of a
Purchase Addenda with respect thereto SRC may seek funding from a different
participant but shall notify MIC in writing prior to using any other participant
for the funding of a particular asset.

     2.7  Upon SRC being the successful bidder for the purchase of each specific
group of Assets, the Participants shall fund the purchase of such specific group
of Assets.

                      SECTION 3: OWNERSHIP OF THE ASSETS
                      ----------------------------------

     3.1  The Assets shall be owned by SRC and shall be subject to the interests
of the Participants.

     3.2  The money transferred by Participants to SRC to fund the bid to
purchase the Assets shall equal the Purchase Price of the Participants for their
participation interests in the Assets. Money advanced by Participants to SRC to
fund escrows or purchased interest related to a bid to purchase Assets shall not
be included in the Purchase Price, but shall be deemed an advance to be returned
to the Participants by SRC as soon as the escrows or purchased interest is
returned.

     3.3  Subject to SRC's fees to be paid by the Participants to SRC and SRC's
Costs, the Participants shall hold participations representing 100% of the
interests in the Assets. The Participants' interests shall be represented by
Certificates of Participation, a sample copy of which is attached hereto and
labeled Exhibit "A". Each Participant shall own an undivided participation
interest in the Assets equal to that percentage calculated by dividing the
amount of the Purchase Price funded by each of them by the total Purchase Price.

     3.4  The Purchase Price advanced by the Participants for their
participation interests in the Assets is not a loan by the Participants to SRC.
Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to create a debtor-
creditor relationship between SRC and the Participants.


                        SECTION 4:  ASSET DOCUMENTATION
                        -------------------------------

     4.1  SRC shall cooperate with any regulators having authority over any
Participant in their

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

examination of the Assets or the documentation related to the Assets.

     4.2  If required by regulators having authority over any Participant, SRC
will obtain such lien searches and current collateral inspections and appraisals
with respect to the Assets as may be necessary. In all other cases, SRC shall
not be required to obtain formal collateral appraisals or inspections from third
party contractors when SRC determines that the cost is prohibitive or that
inspections and appraisals by SRC's employees will sufficiently demonstrate the
value of the Assets.


                                   SECTION 5:
                                   ----------
             SRC REPORTING REQUIREMENTS AND AUDITS OF SRC'S RECORDS
             ------------------------------------------------------

     5.1  SRC shall provide the Participants with such reports, in an agreed
upon format, showing all Receipts and Costs and SRC's activities with respect to
the Assets as shall be mutually agreed upon by SRC and the Participants.

     5.2  The Participants shall have an unlimited right, at the sole expense of
the Participant exercising such right, to audit SRC's records.


             SECTION 6:  SRC'S OPERATIONS AND COSTS OF LIQUIDATION
             -----------------------------------------------------

     6.1  The Participants shall open a bank account into which all funds
received by SRC from the collection of the Assets, including without limitation
principal repayment, interest, loan fees and other charges (Receipts) shall be
deposited (Participants' Account). Subject to the obligations of the
Participants to fund SRC's Costs of operation as provided in Paragraph 6.2
below, the Participants shall have the right to withdraw the interests of the
Participants in the Receipts and the Receipts shall be deemed to have been paid
to the Participants on the day the Receipts are deposited in the Participants'
Account. MIC or such other Participant as may be designated in writing by the
Parties shall be responsible for distributing the interests of the Participants
in the Receipts to the other Participants.

     SRC shall not be responsible for the distribution of Receipts to the
Participants after deposits are made by SRC in the Participants' Account.

     MIC or such other Participant as may be designated in writing by the
Parties shall give SRC written advices of all funds withdrawn by it from the
Participants' Account, showing the amounts and dates of each withdrawal.

     6.2  The funds necessary to meet SRC's actual costs of operation, including
expenses for protective advances and similar costs with respect to the Assets
(Costs), shall be funded from the Receipts by the Participants issuing checks
drawn on the Participants' Account payable to SRC. Such funds paid to SRC shall
be sufficient to continue the operation of SRC with respect to the Assets for
the ensuing thirty (30) day period and on a month to month basis thereafter.

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

     The funds paid by the Participants to SRC to meet the Costs shall not be
deemed to be an advance under Paragraph 3.2 above and shall not be included in
the Purchase Price of the Participants for their participation interests in the
Assets.

     The Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) Central States Resources, Corp.
(CSRC), a corporation wholly owned by Randal Vardaman; All States Resources
Corp. (ARC), a corporation wholly owned by Randal Vardaman and Nyle Johnson, and
Midstates Resources Corp. (MRC), a corporation wholly owned by Randal Vardaman
and Nyle Johnson have purchased loans from FDIC, RTC and other entities and may
in the future purchase additional loans or other assets from other sellers
(collectively referred to herein as the "CSRC/MRC/ARC Loans"), (ii) Randal
Vardaman may form additional corporations (collectively referred to herein as
the "New Servicing Corporations") for the purchase of loans or other assets from
sellers (collectively referred to herein as the "New Servicing Corporations'
Loans"), (iii) SRC has purchased and may in the future purchase additional
assets from sellers (collectively referred to herein as the "Other SRC Loans")
and (iv) CSRC, ARC, SRC and the New Servicing Corporations now employ and may in
the future employ common facilities and employees.

     Certain costs and expenses incurred by SRC (with respect to the Assets and
Other SRC Loans), CSRC, MRC and ARC (with respect to the CSRC/MRC/ARC Loans)
and/or the New Servicing Corporations (with respect to the New Servicing
Corporations' Loans), such as rent, heat, light, wages (excluding contractors'
fees), FICA, federal and state unemployment, health insurance, pension or
retirement plan contributions, employee benefits, equipment repairs and
maintenance, casualty insurance, office supplies, telephone and postage, are
not, or will not be, readily allocable to the service and collection of the
Assets, Other SRC Loans, the CSRC/MRC/ARC Loans or New Servicing Corporations'
Loans ("Allocated Costs"). The Parties therefore agree with SRC that for
purposes of calculating SRC's Costs (as defined in Section 6.2 of this
Agreement), and for the purpose of preparing SRC's Budget (as defined in Section
6.4 of this Agreement) all Allocated Costs shall be allocated between the Assets
and Other SRC Loans, CSRC, MRC, ARC and the New Servicing Corporations at the
end of each month in the same ratio, calculated as of the first business day of
the same month, that (i) the book value on the date of calculation (unpaid
principal amount, excluding charge offs) of the Assets bears to (ii) the book
value on the date of calculation (unpaid principal amount excluding charge offs)
of the sum of the Assets, Other SRC Loans, CSRC/MRC/ARC Loans and New Servicing
Corporations' Loans. Costs which are directly attributable to the servicing and
collection of the Assets, the Other SRC Loans, the CSRC/MRC/ARC Loans or the New
Servicing Corporations' Loans (such as contractor's fees, attorney's fees, owned
real estate expenses plus other expenses as the parties agree, protective
advances and other asset or other real estate expenses) shall not be allocated,
but shall be charged directly to the Assets, Other SRC Loans, CSRC/MRC/ARC Loans
or New Servicing Corporations' Loans as such costs are incurred. The Allocated
Costs shall further be attributed to the each Pool that comprises the Assets and
as is separately identified on SRC's books by ledger number.

     6.4 As soon as practicable, SRC shall prepare and forward to the
Participants a budget showing anticipated Receipts and anticipated Costs for a
period of twelve (12) months (Budget). The Budget shall be revised and forwarded
by SRC to the Participants after the first six months of operations and every
six months thereafter. SRC shall include in its Budget projected expenses for
protective advances and similar costs. SRC shall submit a revised Budget in the
event there is a material change in its operations or a material change in the
book value of the Assets and Other SRC Loans, the CSRC/MRC/ARC Loans or the New

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

Servicing Corporations' Loans that would materially effect the budget
projection.

     The Budget shall not be strictly binding on SRC. In the event of increases
in Costs of 15% or more over the Costs reflected in the Budget (unless Receipts
have also increased a proportionate amount), SRC shall report such deviations
from the Budget to the Participants.

     6.5  The cost of any equipment purchased by SRC shall be an Allocated Cost.
SRC shall not make any significant purchases of equipment which shall be
Allocated Costs without the Participants' prior consent.

     6.6  The Loan Sale Agreement with Seller may provide that a portion of cash
collected by Seller following submission of the bid will be transferred to SRC.
All such cash shall be deposited by SRC in the Participants' Account and shall
be  included in the meaning of the term "Receipts" as that term is used in this
Agreement.  Proceeds of the return of advances for escrows and purchased
interest as defined in Section 3.2 shall be deposited in the Participant's
Account but shall not be included in the meaning of the term "Receipts."

     6.7  In the event the cash transferred by Seller to SRC is not sufficient
to fund the initial Costs, the Participants shall, upon SRC's written request,
advance to SRC additional funds to enable SRC to initiate its operations. Any
such funds advanced by the Participants to SRC shall be deemed to be an
operating cost under Paragraph 6.2 above.

     6.8  Nothing contained herein shall be construed as creating a liability of
SRC to pay money to the Participants except to the extent of Receipts to be
distributed to the Participants under the terms of this Agreement. The sales or
conveyances by SRC to the Participants of their participation interests in the
Assets are made without recourse to SRC.


                      SECTION 7: DISTRIBUTION OF RECEIPTS
                      -----------------------------------

     7. 1   The Receipts shall be distributed in the following order:

            (1)  to SRC's Costs until paid in full;

            (2)  to fund the Costs budgeted by SRC as provided by Secton 6.2;

            (3)  to the Participants and to SRC for its Servicing Fee (as
                 defined in Section 7.2) and to SRC for its share of the Net
                 Receipts (as defined in Section 7.3).

     7.2    SRC shall be paid a Servicing Fee in the amount of 1.0 percent of
the Gross Receipts (Less operating/miscellaneous costs) which shall be credited
to SRC at the end of each month.

     7.3    SRC shall receive a share of the "Net Receipts" as determined in the
following manner for each pool of assets which are separately identified on the
books of SRC by ledger number ("Pool"). For each six (6) month period of time
ending on June 20th and December 20th of each calendar year, for each Pool the

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

Net Receipts shall be determined for each such six (6) month period equal to

          the total Receipts for such period for such Pool less

               a) the Basis Recoveries,

               b) SRC's 1.0 percent servicing fee,

               c) the operating Costs as allocated to that Pool.

Next, the Participants' Return on Investment (ROI) percentage shall be determine
for each Pool on a annualized basis by obtaining a fraction the numerator of
which shall be Net Receipts (as determined above) for the Pool multiplied by two
(2) over the denominator which shall be the Pool Purchase Price less the Pool
Basis Recoveries. The fraction shall be expressed as a decimal number rounded to
four (4) places. Said decimal shall be expressed as the Participants' ROI
percentage by moving the decimal point two places to the right.

     On the date of confirmation of the purchase bid for said Pool an Index of
ROI Rates ("Index") shall be determined from the sum of: (1) the 2-year Treasury
Note Yield (note rate) ("Treasury Note Rate") as of the date of confirmation of
the purchase bid (included on the face of the Participation Certificate labeled
Exhibit "A") and (2) the following chart of basis points, (Column A), which
shall create the Index divided into ten (10) Tiers (Column B):

         COLUMN A                           COLUMN B
     MINIMUM MARGINS                         INDEX

           4.00  .............................            ROI FIRST TIER
       4.01 -  5.01 ..........................            ROI SECOND TIER
       5.02 -  6.01 ..........................            ROI THIRD TIER
       6.02 -  7.01 ..........................            ROI FOURTH TIER
       7.02 -  8.01...........................            ROI FIFTH TIER
       8.02 -  9.01 ..........................            ROI SIXTH TIER
       9.02 - 10.01...........................            ROI SEVENTH TIER
      10.02 - 11.01 ..........................            ROI EIGHTH TIER
      11.02 - 12.01...........................            ROI NINTH TIER
     *12.01...................................            ROI TENTH TIER

* Greater than

The above Index shall be determined for each pool in a form equivalent to
Schedule "1." SRC shall receive a portion of the Pool Net Receipts according to
the following Table of Share Rates:

                     TABLE OF SRC'S PERCENTAGE SHARE RATES

     To the extent Pool Net Receipts exceed the ROI Ninth Tier, then 27% of such
     amount;

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

     To the extent Pool Net Receipts exceed the ROI Eighth Tier, but within the
     Ninth Tier, then 25% of such amount;

     To the extent Pool Net Receipts exceed the ROI Seventh Tier, but within the
     Eighth Tier, then 23% of such amount;

     To the extent Pool Net Receipts exceed the ROI Sixth Tier, but within the
     Seventh Tier, then 20% of such amount;

     To the extent Pool Net Receipts exceed the ROI Fifth Tier, but within the
     Sixth Tier, then 17% of such amount;

     To the extent Pool Net Receipts exceed the ROI Fourth Tier, but within the
     Fifth Tier, then 15% of such amount;

     To the extent Pool Net Receipts exceed the ROI Third Tier, but within the
     Fourth Tier, then 12% of such amount;

     To the extent Pool Net Receipts exceed the ROI Second Tier, but within the
     Third Tier, then 7.5% of such amount;

     To the extent Pool Net Receipts exceed the ROI First Tier, but within the
     Second Tier, then 5% of such amount;

     To the extent Pool Net Receipts do not exceed the First Tier, then 0% of
     the amount.

The Participants shall pay from the Participants' Account to SRC its portion of
the Pool Net Receipts as soon as practical after the share amount is determined
on June 20th and December 20th of each calendar year.

     7.4  The Participants shall pay to SRC the Servicing Fee from the
Participants' Account contemporaneous with deposits of the Receipts in the
Participants' Account.

     7.5  SRC shall not be liable to the Participants for the repayment of the
Purchase Price except to the extent there are Receipts available in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement. The sales or conveyances by SRC to the
Participants of their participations are made without recourse to SRC.

                      SECTION 8:  SRC'S STANDARD OF CARE
                      ----------------------------------

     8.1  SRC shall not be liable to the Participants for ordinary errors in
judgment or errors in receipting the Assets transferred by Seller. SRC shall
work to obtain the highest and best value for the Assets.

     8.2  The Participants acknowledge and agree that SRC's standard of care is
not that standard of care governing a banker. Rather, SRC's standard of care is
that which a reasonable person would employ in the management and disposition of
distressed assets.

     8.3  SRC shall be liable to the Participants for active misconduct, i.e.,
dishonesty, gross negligence or willful and wanton disregard of SRC's
obligations in managing the Assets.

     8.4  SRC shall make the decisions regarding the appropriate dispositions of
the Assets to obtain their highest value. SRC has no obligation to sell Assets
to the Participants unless SRC first makes a determination that a sale of an
Asset at a particular time will obtain the highest value for that Asset and that
the Participant is willing to pay the same or a higher price than SRC could
obtain from some other source.

                                      -9-
<PAGE>

     In the event that more than one Participant is interested in purchasing a
particular Asset held by SRC and SRC has determined that a sale of that Asset at
that time will obtain the highest value for that Asset, the Participants shall
determine the procedure which shall govern which Participant is first entitled
to purchase the Asset. SRC shall not be liable to any Participant for the
failure of the Participant to purchase any particular Asset.

     8.5  SRC shall meet with the Participants on a regular basis to review
SRC's progress in liquidating the Assets. The Participants may make
recommendations on liquidating the Assets and the Parties shall make every
effort to form a consensus on such matters.

                          SECTION 8A: SALE OF ASSETS
                          --------------------------

     The Parties agree that the highest value for the Assets, or a portion of
the Assets, may be realized by SRC bulk selling the Assets. SRC agrees that it
will obtain the Participants' consent prior to concluding any bulk sale of the
Assets. The Participants acknowledge that SRC may give certain representations
and warranties to the purchaser of the Assets and may agree to repurchase
certain Assets as a part of such sales. In the event SRC is obligated to
repurchase any such Assets sold or to make payments based upon a breach of such
representations or warranties or sale agreement, such obligations shall be paid
from the current Receipts and shall be a Cost. If the Receipts are not
sufficient to fund such obligations, then to the extent the Participants and SRC
have been paid Receipts, they shall repay such Receipts to SRC in such amount as
may be necessary to fund such obligation. The amount paid by each Participant
and SRC shall be the amount of the obligation times a fraction, the numerator of
which shall be the Net Receipts paid to such Party and the denominator of which
shall be the sum of all Net Receipts. Thereafter, Net Receipts shall be
distributed to each Party in the same proportion until such repaid amounts are
returned to the Parties. This Section 8A shall survive the termination of this
Agreement.

                      SECTION 9: TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT
                      -----------------------------------

     9.1  Subject to the provisions of this Paragraph 9.1 or unless the Parties
otherwise mutually agree in writing, this Agreement shall continue with respect
to the Assets until all of the Assets have been liquidated and the proceeds
thereof have been distributed to the Parties hereto. The Participants shall not
have the right to terminate this Agreement prior to the date 10 years following
the date of the purchase of the first Pool of  Assets, unless SRC has
substantially failed to meet its obligations to the Participants (Termination
With Cause). On or after the ten (10) year anniversary following the date of the
purchase of the first Pool of  Assets, any Party to this Agreement may terminate
this Agreement without cause upon six months prior written notice to the other
Parties to this Agreement. Any such notice of termination shall specify the date
of termination of this Agreement (Termination Date) which shall not be less than
six months after the date of such notice.

     9.2  SRC shall have no obligation to continue servicing the Assets
following the Termination Date.

     9.3  In the event this Agreement is terminated other than a Termination
With Cause, SRC shall determine the final disposition to be made of the
remaining Assets. SRC may offer such remaining Assets

                                      -10-
<PAGE>

for sale in bulk unless the Participants request SRC to distribute such
remaining Assets in kind, if permitted by law with respect to each Participant,
or to distribute such remaining Assets in kind with respect to each
Participant's share to a liquidating agent designated by such Participant.

     SRC is not obligated to make any such distribution in kind unless all of
the Participants have agreed to the proposed distribution in kind and SRC
consents to the proposed distribution as to those Assets to be conveyed to it or
the cash equivalent to be paid to SRC. The value of all such property
distributed in kind shall be included in the meaning of the term "Receipts" as
that term is used in this Agreement.

     9.4  In the event there is a rightful Termination With Cause of SRC, SRC
shall nevertheless be entitled to (1) its Servicing Fee accrued as of the date
of Termination and (2) that part of SRC's share of the Net Receipts as of the
date of termination.  In such event the formula set forth in Section 7 for
determining SRC's share of Net Receipts shall be modified so that the Receipts
acquired as of the Termination date will be include projected Receipts (based on
experience of performance) for the remainder of the six (6) month period which
would have been used in the absence of such Termination.

     9.5  In the event there is a rightful Termination With Cause of SRC, as
soon as practical after the termination date Participants shall direct SRC to
transfer the Assets in kind to the Participants or to a successor servicing
agent or liquidating agent, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, before any such TERMINATION WITH
CAUSE, Participants shall give SRC a written notice specifying in detail each
such default(s) related to the TERMINATION WITH CAUSE, and stating that this
Agreement will be terminated for cause one hundred and twenty (120) days after
the giving of such notice, ("termination date") unless such default, or
defaults, are remedied within such grace period.

              SECTION 10:  EMPLOYMENT AND OTHER AGREEMENTS OF SRC
              ---------------------------------------------------

     10.1 The Participants' willingness to enter into this Agreement is premised
on the expertise and experience of Randal Vardaman in collecting loans. SRC
agrees that Randal Vardaman or another person of comparable skill and experience
will devote a sufficient amount of his time to the performance of the services
described in this Agreement. SRC shall consult with Participants prior to
appointing any successor to Randy Vardaman or otherwise making any significant
change in company leadership that could adversely affect the interests of the
Participants.

     10.2 SRC may enter into agreements with its employees or other persons or
entities whose services are desired by SRC in performing this Agreement and may
contract to pay them a portion of SRC's share of the Receipts. Any such
agreements shall be liabilities of SRC.


                           SECTION 11:  MISCELLANEOUS
                           --------------------------

     11.1 Any disputes between SRC and the Participants or claims by any of
them arising out of this Agreement shall be settled by arbitration in accordance
with the rules then existing of the American Arbitration Association. Such
arbitration shall be conducted in Omaha, Nebraska. Any arbitration award

                                      -11-
<PAGE>

may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

     11.2   In the event of Randal Vardaman's death,  upon written demand by
Randal Vardaman's heirs or estate,  MIC agrees to purchase his Participation
interest in the Assets, if any, at par, meaning basis plus accrued interest to
date of payment.

     11.3   Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as limiting
the right of any Participant to sell subparticipations in their Participation
interests, provided that no such subparticipation shall give the subparticipant
the rights of a Participant under this Agreement. Rather, any subparticipation
shall be an agreement separate and distinct from this Agreement.

     11.4   Each Party warrants it has been authorized by its Board of
Directors to to execute this Agreement.

     11.5   Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as requiring
any act by SRC which would be contrary to SRC's obligations under the Loan Sale
Agreement between the Seller and SRC.

     11.6   The Parties agree that this Agreement will not be disclosed in
any way to any person or persons, except to an attorney, accountant or similar
professional working on behalf of any of the Parties, without the consent of the
others. The Parties further agree to advise any such professional that this
Agreement is not to be disclosed by that professional. Notwithstanding the
