THE JONES FINANCIAL COMPANIES, A MISSOURI
LIMITED LIABILITY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(Amounts in Thousands)
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of The Jones Financial Companies, L.L.L.P. and all wholly owned
subsidiaries (The "Partnership"). All material intercompany balances
and transactions have been eliminated. Investments in nonconsolidated
companies which are at least 20% owned are accounted for under the
equity method.
The Partnership's principal operating subsidiary, Edward D. Jones
& Co., L.P. ("EDJ"), is engaged in business as a registered
broker/dealer primarily serving individual investors. The Partnership
derives its revenues from the sale of listed and unlisted securities and
insurance products, investment banking and principal transactions, and
is a distributor of mutual fund shares. The Partnership conducts
business throughout the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom
with its customers, various brokers, dealers, clearing organizations,
depositories and banks.
The financial statements have been prepared under the accrual
basis of accounting which requires the use of certain estimates by
management in determining the Partnership's assets, liabilities,
revenues and expenses.
The financial information included herein is unaudited. However,
in the opinion of management, such information includes all adjustments,
consisting solely of normal recurring accruals, which are necessary for
a fair presentation of the results of interim operations.
The results of operations for the three months ended March 26,
1999 and March 27, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results to
be expected for the full year.
NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
As a result of its activities as a broker/dealer, EDJ is subject
to the Net Capital provisions of Rule 15c3-1 of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 and the capital rules of the New York Stock Exchange. Under
the alternative method permitted by the rules, EDJ must maintain minimum
Net Capital, as defined, equal to the greater of $250 or 2% of aggregate
debit items

<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Part I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 1. Financial Statements
arising from customer transactions. The Net Capital rule also provides
that partnership capital may not be withdrawn if resulting Net Capital
would be less than 5% of aggregate debit items. Additionally, certain
withdrawals require the consent of the SEC to the extent they exceed
defined levels even though such withdrawals would not cause Net Capital
to be less than 5% of aggregate debit items.
At March 26, 1999, EDJ's Net Capital of $300,676 was 24% of
aggregate debit items and its Net Capital in excess of the minimum
required was $275,770. Net Capital as a percentage of aggregate debits
after anticipated withdrawals was 23%. Net Capital and the related
capital percentage may fluctuate on a daily basis.
Boone National Savings and Loan Association, F.A. ("Boone"), a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Partnership, is required under federal
regulation to maintain specified levels of liquidity and capital
standards. Boone is in compliance with these regulations March 26,
1999.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
THE JONES FINANCIAL COMPANIES, L.L.L.P.
MANAGEMENT'S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION
OPERATIONS
QUARTER ENDED MARCH 26, 1999, VERSUS
QUARTER ENDED MARCH 27, 1998
The Partnership experienced a record quarter in terms of both
revenue and net income. Strong securities markets and growth in the
sales force contributed to a 25% increase ($78.4 million) in total
revenue to $396.8 million for the first quarter of 1999. Expenses
increased 25% ($71 million) to $357.4 million. The resulting net
income increased 23% ($7.4 million) to $39.4 million for the first
quarter of 1999.
The Partnership broadly segments its revenues between Trade
Revenue and Fee Revenue. Trade Revenue has increased 19% ($44 million)
over the first quarter of 1998. This increase is due to growth in both
the number of Investment Representatives (IRs) and customer dollars
invested during the period, offset by changes in the product mix and a
decrease in business days. The partnership has added approximately 840
IRs since March, 1998, a 20% increase. These additional IRs (coupled
with the continued maturing of the existing sales force and strong
markets) resulted in customer dollars invested increasing 33% ($3
billion) over the first quarter of 1998. These positive factors were
offset by a slight decrease in the gross commission percentage earned on
each customer dollar as the product mix shifted to lower margin products
and one less selling day in the first quarter of 1999 compared to the
same quarter in 1998. The shift in product mix resulted in a $.27
decrease in revenue per $1,000 invested.
Fee revenue sources, which include service fees, revenue sharing
agreements with mutual funds and insurance companies, interest income,
IRA custodial fees and other fees increased 38% ($34.3 million) to
$123.6 million over the first quarter of 1998. Service Fees from mutual
funds and insurance products (reported in commission revenue) increased
27% ($10.6 million) to $50 million. Other revenue sharing arrangements
from mutual funds and insurance products increased 63% ($16.8 million)
to $43.3 million. Fee revenue is supported by the value of Customers'
Assets. Total Customers' Assets increased 19% ($30.9 billion) over the
first quarter of 1998 to $190 billion. Interest income increased 29%
($6.8 million) to $30.4 million compared to the same period in 1998.
The increase is attributable to the growth in loans to customers
10

Part I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
(margin loans), which have increased 38% ($329.9 million) to $1.2
billion at the end of the 1st quarter of 1999.
Expenses increased 25% ($71 million) to $357.4 million for the
first quarter of 1999. A significant amount of the firm's expense
increase is attributable to compensation and benefits which increased
26% ($48.8 million) over last year. Growth of the sales force and
increased revenues increased direct sales compensation costs by 21%
($23.5 million) to $137.9 million. The Partnership also has a variable
compensation structure which expands with increased profitability.
Variable compensation, which is primarily comprised of IR bonuses and
profit sharing contributions, increased 43% ($11.6 million) to $38.3
million for the first quarter of 1999. The remaining increase in
Compensation reflects the increase in number of trainees and
headquarters and branch support personnel required to support a larger
organization.
Occupancy and Equipment and Communications and Data Processing
expenses increased 25.3% ($13.4 million) to $66.3 million for the first
quarter of 1999. Increased expense levels are required to support the
Partnership's expansion of its headquarters, branch locations and
communications systems, enabling it to continue to increase the number
of IRs, locations, and customers.
Other operating expenses increased 18.2% ($4.2 million) to $27.1
million in the first quarter of 1999. This increase is primarily
attributable to expansion of the Partnership's national advertising
program, growing the sales force and expanding internationally.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL ADEQUACY
The Partnership's equity capital at March 26, 1999, after the
reserve for anticipated withdrawals, was $416 million compared to $289.6
million as of March 27, 1998. Equity capital has increased primarily
due to retention of General Partner earnings, contributions of
subordinated limited partnership capital and completion of a $62 million
limited partnership offering in July, 1998.
At March 26, 1999, the Partnership had $126.4 million in cash and
cash equivalents. Lines of credit are in place at ten banks aggregating
$575 million ($500 million of which are through uncommitted lines of
credit). Actual borrowing availability is primarily based on securities
owned and customers' margin securities which serve as collateral for the
loans.
11
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Part I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
A substantial portion of the Partnership's assets are primarily
liquid, consisting mainly of cash and assets readily convertible into
cash. These assets are financed primarily by customer credit balances,
equity capital, bank lines of credit and other payables. The
Partnership believes that the liquidity provided by existing cash
balances, borrowing arrangements and investment securities will be
sufficient to meet the Partnership's capital and liquidity requirements.
The Partnership's growth in recent years has been financed through
sales of limited partnership interests to its employees, retention of
earnings and private placements of subordinated debt.
The Partnership's principal subsidiary, Edward D. Jones & Co.,
L.P., ("EDJ") as a securities broker/dealer, is subject to the
Securities and Exchange Commission regulations requiring EDJ to maintain
certain liquidity and capital standards. EDJ has been in compliance
with these regulations.
CASH FLOWS
For the quarter ended March 26, 1999, cash and cash equivalents
decreased $17.3 million. Cash flows from operating activities provided
$38.8 million. Comprehensive net income adjusted for depreciation
provided $52.8 million. Receivables from customers, net of payables to
customers, increased $193.2 million. Investing activities used $18.8
million for the purchase of fixed assets. Cash flows from financing
activities used $37.3 million primarily for withdrawals and
distributions from partnership capital, net of issuance of subordinated
limited partnership interests.
There were no material changes in the partnership's overall
financial condition during the three months ended March 26, 1999,
compared with the three months ended March 27, 1998. Securities
inventories are carried at market values and are readily marketable.
Customer margin accounts are collateralized by marketable securities.
Other customer receivables and receivables and payables with other
broker/dealers normally settle on a current basis. Liabilities,
including certain amounts payable to customers, checks, accounts payable
and accrued expenses are sources of funds to the Partnership. These
liabilities, to the extent not utilized to finance assets, are available
to meet liquidity needs and provide funds for short-term investments,
which favorably impacts profitability.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
YEAR 2000 SYSTEM ISSUES
The Partnership has been preparing its systems for the Year 2000.
Year 2000 plans encompass The Jones Financial Companies, L.L.L.P. and
its subsidiaries, both domestic and international. The Partnership's
assessment of the impact of Year 2000 on its systems and the steps
required to modify its systems is substantially complete. The
partnership is in the process of implementing these steps through
renovation and replacement of its systems and testing.
The Partnership participated in the March, 1999 securities
industry test and plans to have its Year 2000 efforts, including
testing, completed by June 30, 1999. Contingency plans for the Year
2000 were completed during March, 1999. The cost of preparing the
systems for Year 2000 compliance is not anticipated to have a material
impact on the Partnership's operating results or financial condition.
In addition to renovating its own systems, the Partnership is
working with its vendors to assess their Year 2000 readiness.
Regardless of these efforts, no level of effort or testing can guarantee
that potential Year 2000 problems will not occur.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The Management's Financial Discussion, including the discussion
under "Year 2000," contains forward-looking statements within the
meaning of federal securities laws. Actual results are subject to risks
and uncertainties, including both those specific to the Partnership and
those specific to the industry which could cause results to differ
materially from those contemplated. The risks and uncertainties
include, but are not limited to, third-party or Partnership failures to
achieve timely, effective remediation of the Year 2000 issues, general
economic conditions, actions of competitors, regulatory actions,
changes in legislation and technology changes. Undue reliance should
not be placed on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of
the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The Partnership does
not undertake any obligation to publicly update any forward-looking
statements.

hereof;
(iv) the amount of Partnership expenditures described in

Partner in the same proportion as that in which the Partner bears
the economic burden of those expenditures; and
(v) the amount of all distributions to the Partner
pursuant to Article Eight hereof.
In addition, the Capital Account of each Partner shall be
adjusted as necessary to comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-
1(b)(2)(iv). In the event the Managing Partner shall determine that it
is prudent to modify the manner in which the Capital Accounts or any

<PAGE>
<PAGE>
credits thereto are completed in order to comply with such regulations,
the Managing Partner may amend this Agreement to reflect such
modification, provided that it is not likely to have a material effect
on the amounts distributable to the Partners pursuant to Article Eight
upon dissolution of the Partnership.
If any Partner would otherwise have a negative balance in
his Capital Account, the amount of any such negative balance shall be
reduced (but not in excess of such negative balance) by the amount of
such Partner's share of Partnership Minimum Gain (determined in
accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(iv)(f)) after

Accounts to reflect such termination as required by the Internal Revenue
Code and applicable Treasury Regulations.
In the event that interests in the Partnership are sold,
exchanged or otherwise transferred, and the transfer is recognized under
Article Six or Article Seven hereof, or by operation of law, the Capital
Account of the transferee will equal the Capital Account of the
transferor immediately before the transfer. However, if such a sale or
exchange, either alone or in combination with other sales or exchanges
within a twelve-month period results in a transfer of fifty percent
(50%) or more of the Partnership interests causing a termination of the
Partnership for federal income tax purposes, the adjustment required by
the immediately preceding paragraph shall be made.

Partner the authority from time to time to execute documents or

change the business policies of the Partnership unless such authority is
expressly and specifically granted in writing to such General Partner.
F. Whenever authority is herein conferred upon the
Managing Partner or the General Partners, any person, other than a
General Partner, dealing with the Partnership may rely conclusively upon
the authority and signature of the Managing Partner or any one other
General Partner to exercise such authority without determining that such
Managing Partner or such General Partner is acting with the approval of
the other General Partners. In addition, third parties dealing with the
Partnership may rely upon the certification of the Managing Partner or

General Partner shall be entitled to deduct such expenses on his
personal income tax return, all as permitted by the Internal Revenue
Code.
B. Each General Partner shall devote his entire time,
energy, skill and ability to the duties of operating the Partnership and

for any purpose whatsoever except those that may be incidental to the

conduct and management of the Partnership, nor shall any General Partner
use the name of the Partnership or any entity it owns for the use or
accommodation of any other person. No General Partner shall incur any
obligation in the name of the Partnership or transfer Partnership
property except in connection with Partnership business.
C. Each General Partner agrees that he will not, without
the written consent of the Managing Partner (i) become a guarantor or
surety for any person, firm or corporation; (ii) in the name of the
Partnership or any entity it owns or in his own name buy or sell stocks,
securities or commodities on margin, either for the account of the
Partnership or for his own account; or (iii) pledge or hypothecate any
of the property of the Partnership or any entity it owns for any purpose
whatsoever.

requested by the Managing Partner, to have such General Partner's income
tax returns prepared by an entity (which could be the Partnership itself
or independent accountants) selected by such General Partner and
acceptable to the Managing Partner.
E. Each Partner is expected, and it is regarded as such
Partner's duty, to supplement expenses reimbursable to such Partner by
the Partnership by additional expenditures of such Partner's personal
funds in the furtherance of the Partnership's business which
expenditures such Partner shall be entitled to deduct on his personal
income tax return, all as permitted by the Internal Revenue Code. In

in good faith on behalf of the Partnership and in a manner reasonably
believed by him to be within the scope of the authority granted to him
by this Agreement and in the best interests of the Partnership, provided
that the Managing Partner or the General Partner shall not have been
guilty of gross negligence or gross misconduct with respect to such acts
or omissions and, further, provided that the satisfaction of any
indemnification and any saving harmless shall be paid out of and limited
to Partnership assets and no Partner shall have any personal liability
on account thereof.

Partner were an independent contractor; and the Managing Partner may
obligate the Partnership to pay reasonable compensation for and on
account of any such services.

------------------------------------------
A. In the event of any withdrawal by a General Partner
from the Partnership pursuant to Section 6.1 or 6.2 hereof or in the

Contribution as a General Partner, the Managing Partner may designate
all or some of the remaining General Partners, to purchase the General
Partner Interest (including Frozen Appreciation Amount) of the
withdrawing General Partner, subject to the approval of the Managing
Partner. Such purchases shall be consummated (retroactively as of the
actual date of his withdrawal) within 60 days after the actual date of
such withdrawal. The price (the "Price") of the General Partner
Interest of the withdrawing General Partner shall be the value (as shown
on the books of the Partnership) of his Frozen Appreciation Amount plus
the value of such General Partner's Adjusted Capital Contribution,
calculated as of the previous Valuation Date if such withdrawal takes
place on or prior to the 15th day of a month or calculated as of the

<PAGE>
the Partnership and shall (retroactively as of the actual date of his

any General Partner Interest (including Frozen Appreciation Amount) not
purchased by the remaining General Partners within such 60 day period
shall be converted (retroactively as of the actual date of his
withdrawal) so as to become the Capital Contribution of such former
General Partner as that of a Class II Subordinated Limited Partner and
such General Partner shall thereupon become or continue to remain a
Class II Subordinated Limited Partner as to such Capital Contribution.
D. A withdrawing General Partner shall have no right to
become a Limited or to require the conversion of his General Partner
Interest (or Price, if applicable) to the Capital Contribution of a
Class II Subordinated Limited Partner. The Managing Partner may
determine to have the Partnership redeem such General Partner's
Interest. In addition the Managing Partner has the right to cause the
Partnership to redeem the Capital Contribution of a Class II
Subordinated Limited Partner at any time.
E. Upon the withdrawal of a General Partner, the General
Partner Percentages of the remaining General Partners shall be
recalculated (as of the actual date of withdrawal) on the same relative
basis so as to aggregate 100% (and the related General Partner Adjusted
Capital Contributions shall also be appropriately adjusted).
F. In addition, any withdrawing General Partner shall
receive (within 75 days after the actual date of his withdrawal) his pro
rata share of any cash distributions to which he is entitled as set

Limited Partner shall give written notice ("Withdrawal Notice") to the
Managing Partner of the amount of Capital Contribution that such
Class II Subordinated Limited Partner wishes to withdraw from the
Partnership (the "Requested Withdrawal Amount"). The Requested
Withdrawal Amount shall be paid (subject to the provisions of Section
6.7 hereof) to such Class II Subordinated Limited Partner in four (4)
equal installments with the first installment being paid on the last
business day of the month following the month in which the Managing
Partner receives the Withdrawal Notice, with the balance of the
Requested Withdrawal Amount being paid in three (3) equal installments
on the 12th, 24th and 36th month anniversary of the first installment
payment. Until the Requested Withdrawal Amount has been fully paid to
such Class II Subordinated Limited Partner the unreturned portion
thereof shall continue for all purposes to be subject to all provisions
of this Agreement including, without limitation, Article Eight and
Section 6.7. The Managing Partner,
21
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
in his sole discretion, may cause the Partnership to accelerate the
return of the Requested Withdrawal Amount with respect to the entire
Requested Withdrawal Amount or accelerate the payment of any or all
installments thereof with respect to any Class II Subordinated Limited
Partner.
H. In the event of any withdrawal by a Limited Partner
from the Partnership, pursuant to Sections 6.1 or 6.2 hereof, the
Limited Partner's Capital Contribution (subject to the provisions of
Section 6.7 hereof) shall be paid in three (3) equal installments with
the first installment being paid on the last business day of the month
following the month in which (a) the Managing Partner receives the

receives a Mandatory Withdrawal Notice, with the balance of the Capital
Contribution being paid in two equal installments on the 1st and 2nd

such withdrawal takes place on or after the 16th day of a month. Until a
Limited Partner's Capital Contribution is fully returned to him, the
unreturned portion thereof shall continue for all purposes to be subject
to all provisions of this Agreement, including without limitation,
Article Eight and Section 6.7 and such Limited Partner shall continue to
receive all sums due him pursuant to Section 3.3B hereof. The Managing
Partner, in his sole discretion, may cause the Partnership to accelerate
the return of a Limited Partner's Capital Contribution or accelerate the
payment of any or all installments thereof.

------------------
In the event of the death of any Limited, the Capital
Contribution of such deceased Limited shall be returned (subject to the
provisions of Section 6.7 hereof) to his estate within six (6) months

Section 6.3G shall not be applicable to the Capital Contribution of a
deceased Class II Subordinated Limited Partner or to the Capital
Contribution of a deceased Class I Subordinated Limited Partner and

calculated as of the previous Valuation Date if such withdrawal takes
place on or prior to the 15th day of a month or calculated as of the
next Valuation Date if such withdrawal takes place on or after the 16th
day of a month. Until a deceased Limited's Capital Contribution is
returned to his estate, his estate shall continue to receive all sums
which would have been due to such Limited pursuant to Section 3.3B
hereof. As stated herein, all such payments shall be made to the estate
of the deceased Limited unless the Partnership has received evidence,
satisfactory to the Partnership, in its sole discretion, that such
payments should be made to some other entity or person.

6.5 Death or Disability of a General Partner.
----------------------------------------
A. In the event of the death of a General Partner, the
interest of the deceased General Partner in the Partnership shall
terminate as of such date. The Managing Partner may designate all or
some of the remaining General Partners to purchase the General Partner
Interest (including Frozen Appreciation Amount) of the deceased General
Partner, subject to the approval of the Managing Partner. Such
purchases shall be consummated within 60 days after the date of death of
such General Partner. The price of the General Partner Interest of the
deceased General Partner shall be the value (as shown on the books of
the Partnership) of his Frozen Appreciation Amount plus the value of
such General Partner's Adjusted Capital Contribution, calculated as of
the previous Valuation Date if such death took place on or prior to the
15th day of a month or calculated as of the next Valuation Date if such
death took place on or after the 16th day of a month. Goodwill, if any,
and the Partnership name shall not be deemed assets or as having any
property value in making the foregoing calculation. In addition, the
deceased General Partner shall receive (within 75 days after the date of
his death) his pro rata share of any cash distributions to which he is
entitled as set forth in Section 8.1 hereof, calculated as of the
previous Valuation Date if such death took place on or prior to the 15th
day of a month or calculated as of the next Valuation Date if such death
took place on or after the 16th day of a month. Any General Partner
Interest (including Frozen Appreciation Amount) not purchased by the
remaining General Partners within such 60 day period shall be converted
(as of the date of his death) to the Capital Contribution of a Class II
Subordinated Limited Partner and shall be redeemed (subject to the
provisions of Section 6.7 hereof) by the Partnership within six (6)
months thereafter, the specific date to be determined by the Managing
Partner. The provisions of Section 6.3G shall not be applicable to the
Capital Contribution of such deceased Class II Subordinated Limited
Partner. Upon the conversion of a General Partner's Interest to that of
a Class II Subordinated Limited Partner, the General Partner Percentages
of the remaining General Partners shall be recalculated (as of the
actual date of withdrawal) on the same relative basis so as to aggregate
100% (and the related General Partner Adjusted Capital Contributions
shall also be adjusted). All payments made pursuant to this Section
6.5A shall be made to the estate of the deceased General Partner, unless
the Partnership has received evidence, satisfactory to the Partnership,
in its sole discretion, that such payments should be made to some other
entity or person.
B. In the event of full or partial disability (as
determined in the absolute discretion of the Managing Partner) of a
General Partner under age 65 due to illness, accident, or injury, such
General Partner shall be entitled to receive his normal share of
Partnership Net Income notwithstanding his inability to perform his
normal work functions, for a period of up to six (6) full months
following the date he suffered the disability. If the disability
continues for a period greater than six (6) months but less than one (1)
year, then during such period of time the disabled General Partner shall
be entitled to receive one-half (1/2) of his normal share of Partnership
Net Income. If the disability continues for a period greater than one
(1) year in length, then the disabled General Partner must terminate his
status as a General Partner, unless otherwise directed by the Managing
Partner. In event of termination, the General Partner Interest
(including his Frozen Appreciation Amount) of the disabled General
Partner shall be treated in the same manner as that
23
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
of a deceased General Partner pursuant to Section 6.5A hereof, provided
that all such payments required by this Section 6.5B shall be made to
the disabled General Partner.
6.6 General Partner Interest - 56th Birthday.
----------------------------------------
A General Partner shall not acquire any additional General
Partner Interest after he reaches his 56th birthday. His General
Partner Interest (including his Frozen Appreciation Amount) as it exists
on his 56th birthday is his "Retiring Interest." On the first business
day of the calendar year following the year in which a General Partner's
56th birthday falls and on the first business day of each subsequent
calendar year, the General Partner shall sell 1/10th of this Retiring
Interest to all or some of the other General Partners, as designated by
the Managing Partner, who have not attained 56 years of age and who are
willing to purchase such additional interest. The sale price of the
Retiring Interest shall be determined in the same manner as set forth in
Section 6.5A hereof, with the Valuation Date being the first business
day of the appropriate calendar year. Upon payment of the sales price
to the selling General Partner by the purchasing General Partner, the
books of the Partnership shall be adjusted as of the effective date of
sale to show the appropriate reductions and increases in the General
Partner Adjusted Capital Contributions (and related General Partner
Percentages) of the selling and purchasing General Partners. A General
Partner can request that such purchased portion be converted
(retroactively as of the first calendar day of the appropriate year) so
as to become the Capital Contribution of a Class II Subordinated Limited
Partner and if such request is approved by the Managing Partner, then
such portion of the retiring interest be so converted. If any portion
of a Retiring Interest is not purchased by the other General Partners,
then such General Partner can request that such unpurchased portion be
converted (retroactively as the first calendar day of the appropriate
year) so as to become the Capital Contribution of a Class II
Subordinated Limited Partner and if such request is approved by the
Managing Partner, then such portion of the Retiring Interest shall be so
converted, otherwise such portion of the Retiring Interest shall be
redeemed by the Partnership, subject to Section 6.7 hereof.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section to the contrary,
the Managing Partner may exempt any General Partner from the application
of this Section or modify the terms of the sale of any Retiring Interest
as he deems advisable.
6.7 Restriction on Capital Contribution Return.
------------------------------------------
It is understood and agreed that the Capital Contributions
of the Partners to the Partnership will be used, in part, by the
Partnership as part of the Partnership's capital contribution to EDJ, a
brokerage firm (which is regulated by the Securities and Exchange
Commission and the New York Stock Exchange and other regulatory
agencies), and that in order for the Partnership to return to any
Partner his Capital Contribution (or any part thereof), the Partnership
will have to obtain such funds from EDJ. Therefore, notwithstanding any
other provision contained in this Agreement to the contrary, without the
written consent of the Managing Partner, no Partner shall have returned
to him (under any provision of this Agreement) his Capital Contribution
or his General Partner's Adjusted Capital Contribution, if after giving
effect thereto, the Partnership or any Affiliate thereof (including, but
not limited to, EDJ) would, if such payment had been made directly by
EDJ,
24
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
be in violation of (i) any rule of the New York Stock Exchange Inc.,
(ii) any rule issued under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, any
agreement (cash subordination or otherwise) which has been entered into
by the Partnership or any Affiliate thereof (including, but not limited
to, EDJ) or (iii) any other law, rule or regulation to which the
Partnership or any Affiliate thereof (including, but not limited to,
EDJ) is subject. In the event there is returned to any Partner all or
any portion of his Capital Contribution or his General Partner's
Adjusted Capital Contribution and because of such return the Partnership
or any Affiliate thereof (including, but not limited to, EDJ) violated
any of the aforementioned rules, agreements or regulations, then such
Partner hereby irrevocably agrees (whether or not such Partner had any
knowledge or notice of such facts at the time of such return) to repay
to the Partnership, its successors or assigns, the sum so returned to
such Partner to be held by the Partnership pursuant to the provisions
hereof as if such return had never been made; provided, however, that
any suit for the recovery of any such return must be commenced within
two years of the date of such return.
6.8 Liability of a Withdrawn General Partner.
----------------------------------------
If on the Event of Withdrawal of a General Partner the
business of the Partnership shall continue, the General Partner who
shall have withdrawn shall be and remain liable for all obligations and
liabilities incurred by him as General Partner prior to such Event of
Withdrawal, but he shall be free of any obligation or liability incurred
on account of the activities of the Partnership from and after the time
of such Event of Withdrawal.
6.9 Effect of Event of Withdrawal.
-----------------------------
Upon the withdrawal (by reason of death or otherwise) of a
Partner the Partnership shall not dissolve and the business of the
Partnership shall be continued by the remaining General Partners.
6.10 Conversion from Class II to Class I Subordinated
-------------------------------------------------
Limited Partner.
- ---------------
A. In the event a Class II Subordinated Limited Partner
has exercised his right pursuant to Section 6.3G, then such Class II
Subordinated Limited Partner may request, in writing to the Managing
Partner (subject to the other provisions of this Section 6.10), that his
Requested Withdrawal Amount be converted to the Capital Contribution of
Class I Subordinated Limited Partner and thereafter such Class II
Subordinated Limited Partner shall, with respect to such converted
amount, be a Class I Subordinated Limited Partner.
B. No such conversion shall be permitted unless the
Partnership has had Net Income for each of the three (3) proceeding
calendar months (for which the Partnership has prepared financial
statements) prior to such written request. If a conversion is requested
but is not permitted due to the preceding sentence, then such request
will be honored (unless withdrawn) as soon as the conditions set forth
in the preceding sentence are met by the Partnership.

TRANSFERABILITY OF PARTNER INTERESTS
------------------------------------
7.1 Restrictions on Transfer.
------------------------
A. Each Partner agrees that he will not sell, pledge,
exchange, transfer or assign his interest in the Partnership to any
Person without the express written consent of the Managing Partner.
B. Each Partner agrees that he will not sell or exchange
any of his interest in the Partnership if the interest sought to be sold
or exchanged, when added to the total of all other Partner interests
sold or exchanged within the period of 12 consecutive months prior
thereto, would, in the opinion of counsel for the Partnership, result in
the Partnership being considered to have been terminated within the
meaning of Section 708 of the Internal Revenue Code (or any successor
statute).
C. Each Limited agrees that he will not sell, exchange,
transfer or assign any of his interest in the Partnership unless, if
required by the Partnership, the Partnership has received an opinion of
counsel, satisfactory to the Partnership, that such transfer or
assignment may be effected without registration of the Limited's
interest under the Securities Act of 1933 or under any applicable state
securities law.
D. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this
Agreement, the death or withdrawal of a Partner shall terminate (as of

ARTICLE EIGHT
DISTRIBUTIONS AND ALLOCATIONS; LIABILITY OF GENERAL PARTNERS
------------------------------------------------------------
8.1 Distribution of Net Income.
--------------------------
A. All Net Income, if any, of the Partnership for each
calendar year shall be distributed in the following order of priority:
(i) Each Limited Partner shall be paid at least annually
(with respect to such Limited Partner's Capital Contribution),
from time to time, a total amount of cash equal to the product of
Net Income times a percentage, calculated annually, which shall
equal the product of the following three factors: (a) one-fourth
of one percent (.0025) multiplied by (b) the quotient of
$1,900,000 divided by the sum of the General Partners' Adjusted
Capital Contributions multiplied by (c) the quotient of the total
Capital Contribution of the respective Limited Partner divided by
$25,000. This calculation of percentage of participation shall be
made at the end of each calendar year and used in distributing Net
Income earned during the following year. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, for the year 1987 each Limited Partner shall be paid
(with respect to such Limited Partner's Capital Contribution) a
total amount of cash equal to the product of Net Income times a
percentage which shall equal the product of the following three
factors: (a) one-fourth of one percent (.0025) multiplied by (b)
the quotient of $1,900,000 divided by $24,251,182 multiplied by
(c) the quotient of the total Capital Contribution of the
respective Limited Partner divided by $25,000.
(ii) Each Class I Subordinated Limited Partner shall be
paid within 30 days after the end of each calendar quarter (on a
non-cumulative basis) an amount of cash equal to 25% of the
product of (a) the one year Constant Maturity Treasury Rate as
currently disclosed in the Federal Reserve Statistical Released
H.15 (the "Treasury Rate") plus 150 basis points times (b) the
current Capital Contribution of the Class I Subordinated Limited
Partner. The applicable Treasury Bill Rate shall be the Treasury
Bill Rate as stated for the week ended just prior to or on the
last business day of the preceding calendar year; provided however
that no such payment shall be made to any Class I Subordinated
Limited Partner if for the prior calendar quarter the Partnership
did not have Net Income sufficient to pay the full amount due all
Class I Subordinated Limited Partners pursuant to this
27
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Section 8.1A(ii). If any payment is not made, as herein above
provided, the Partnership shall never be required to make such
missed payment in the future. No payment made pursuant to this
Section 8.1A(ii) shall be considered a guaranteed payment.
(iii) Each Class II Subordinated Limited Partner shall be
paid, from time to time, a total amount of cash in each year equal
to the product of (a) the then remaining Net Income times (b) a
percentage derived by the following formula: (x) 50% of the
Capital Contribution of the Class II Subordinated Limited Partner
(excluding any undistributed Net Income allocated to the Class II
Subordinated Limited Partner) divided by (y) the sum of (aa) 50%
of the Capital Contributions of all the Class II Subordinated
Limited Partners plus (bb) the Adjusted Capital Contributions of
the General Partners (less any Net Income allocated to the General
Partners which is not scheduled to be retained by the
Partnership). In the event the Capital Contribution of a Class II
Subordinated Limited Partner has been reduced by the operation of
Section 8.1B hereof (the "Reduced Amount"), then each Class II
Subordinated Limited Partner shall have right to make additional
cash Capital Contributions to the Partnership from any cash to be
distributed to such Class II Subordinated Limited Partner pursuant
to this Section 8.1A(ii) up to the Reduced Amount.
(iv) There shall be set apart up to 8% of the remaining Net
Income. Of such 8%, if any is set apart, there shall be
distributed 62.5% thereof among the General Partners on the basis
of individual merit as determined by the Managing Partner. Of
such 8%, if any is set apart, there shall be distributed 37.5%
thereof among the General Partners on the basis of individual need
as determined by the Managing Partner.
(v) It is intended that a sum equal to 30% of the
remaining Net Income will be retained by the Partnership as
capital and shall be credited to the Adjusted Capital
Contributions of the General Partners in a proportion equal to
their then respective General Partner Percentages. Such amount
shall not be withdrawn by the General Partners. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the decision of whether to make this retention of
capital in accordance with this Section or whether to vary the
amount of capital to be retained in any given year, is vested in
the Managing Partner, and it is agreed that his decision in this
matter shall be final.
(vi) The balance of the Net Income remaining, if any, shall
be distributed among the General Partners in proportions to their
General Partner Percentages.
B. In any year in which there is a Net Loss and the
Partnership is not dissolved and liquidated in accordance with Section
8.2 hereof, such Net Loss, on the books of the Partnership, shall be
borne by the Class II Subordinated Limited Partners to the extent as set
forth in the formula described in Section 8.1A(iii) hereof and the
balance shall be borne by the General Partners in proportion to their
respective General Partner Percentages. Any such Net Losses borne by
the Class
28
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
II Subordinated Limited Partners shall only be applied against and
reduce their respective Capital Contributions. The total amount of all
such Net Losses to be borne by the Class II Subordinated Limited
Partners may never exceed the total amount of the Capital Contributions
of the Class II Subordinated Limited Partners as shown on the books of
the Partnership.
C. Notwithstanding the foregoing, where losses are caused
by the willful neglect or default, the gross negligent conduct, or the
intentional negligent conduct of any Partner, those losses shall be
borne solely and made good by the Partner so causing the loss. This
Section 8.1C is for the benefit of the Partners and no other person
shall have any rights hereunder.
D. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement
to the contrary, the aggregate interest of the General Partners in each
material item of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction, preference
or credit shall be equal to at least one percent (1%) of each such item
at all times during the existence of the Partnership.
8.2 Distributions Upon Dissolution.
------------------------------
A. Upon the dissolution of the Partnership as a result of
the occurrence of any of the events set forth in Section 2.4 hereof, the
Managing Partner shall proceed to liquidate the Partnership, and the
proceeds of liquidation (the "Proceeds of Liquidation") shall be applied
and distributed in the following order of priority:
(i) To the payment of debts and liabilities of the
Partnership, including the expenses of liquidation, but expressly
excluding all Capital Contributions of all Partners (General
Partners, Class I Subordinated Limited Partners, Class II
Subordinated Limited Partners and Limited Partners), the return of
all of such Capital Contributions are provided for below and all
of which is equity capital of the Partnership.
(ii) To the payment of any accrued but unpaid amounts due
under Section 8.1 hereof.
(iii) To the repayment of the Capital Contributions of the
Limited Partners.
(iv) To the repayment of the Capital Contributions of the
Class I Subordinated Limited Partners
(v) To the repayment of the Capital Contributions of the
Class II Subordinated Limited Partners.
(vi) To the repayment of the General Partners' Adjusted
Capital Contributions.
(vii) The balance of the Proceeds of Liquidation, if any,
shall be distributed to the General Partners in proportion to
their respective General Partner Percentages.
29
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
B. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the
Managing Partner shall determine that an immediate sale of part or all
of the Partnership assets would cause undue loss to the Partners, the
Managing Partner, in order to avoid such loss, may, after having given
Notice to all the Limiteds, either defer liquidation of, and withhold
from distribution for a reasonable time, any assets of the Partnership
except those necessary to satisfy the Partnership debts and obligations,
or distribute the assets to the Partners in kind.
C. Net Income generated by transactions in connection
with the dissolution and liquidation of the Partnership shall be
distributed in accordance with Section 8.1A hereof.
8.3 Distribution of Frozen Appreciation Amount.
------------------------------------------
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.1 or 8.2 hereof,
in the event any tract of Real Estate or any Exchange Seat or Edward D.
Jones & Co., L.P. or EDJ Leasing Co., L.P. is sold, then there shall be
distributed from the net proceeds of such sale (prior to making any
distributions pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.1 or 8.2 hereof)
to each General Partner an amount equal to his Frozen Appreciation
Amount with respect to such tract of Real Estate or Exchange Seat. The
balance of any proceeds resulting from any such sale shall then be
distributed in accordance with Sections 8.1 or 8.2 hereof or shall
otherwise be used or retained by the Partnership as provided herein.
8.4 Sale of Assets to Third Party.
-----------------------------
A. In the event the Partnership shall sell or otherwise
dispose of, at one time, all, or substantially all, of its assets (a
"Sale") to any one Person or to any one Person and its Affiliates and
the Partnership is thereafter liquidated within 180 days, then the
provisions of Section 8.3 and this Section 8.4 shall be applicable with
respect to the order of priority of distribution of the Proceeds of
Liquidation.
B. For the purposes of this Section 8.4 the term
"substantially all" shall be deemed to mean assets of the Partnership or
of any of its significant subsidiaries representing 80% or more of the
net book value of all of the Partnership's assets (or such significant
subsidiary's assets) determined as of the end of the most recently
completed fiscal year.
C. Prior to making any payments to the General Partners
pursuant to Section 8.2A(vii) hereof (but after making all other
payments required by Section 8.2A and all payments required by Section
8.3 hereof) the Partnership shall distribute: (i) to the Limited
Partners a percentage of the Premium (as hereinafter defined) equal to
the same percentage of the Net Income of the Partnership which the
Limited Partners shall receive (pursuant to Section 8.1A hereof) from
the Partnership for the current fiscal year of the Partnership; and (ii)
to the Class II Subordinated Limited Partners an amount equal to the
product of the Premium (remaining after the payment required by Section
8.4C(i) hereof) times a fraction the numerator of which is the total
Capital Contributions of the Class II Subordinated Limited Partners (on
the date of the Sale) and the
30
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
denominator of which is (X) the total Capital Contributions of the Class
II Subordinated Limited Partners (on the date of the Sale) plus (Y) the
total of the Adjusted Capital Contributions of the General Partners (on
the date of the Sale). No payments shall be made or are intended to be
made to Class I Subordinated Limited Partners pursuant to this Section
8.4C.
D. "Premium" means the Proceeds of Liquidation remaining
after the payment of the items set forth in Sections 8.2A(i), (ii),
(iii), (iv), (v) and (vi) hereof.
E. Any amounts payable to the Limited Partners and the
Class II Subordinated Limited Partners pursuant to this Section 8.4
shall be disbursed pro-rata to the Limited Partners and the Class II
Subordinated Limited Partners based on their Capital Contributions on
the date of the Sale.
F. Neither the Partnership nor the General Partners shall
have any obligation to cause a Sale to occur.
8.5 Other Sales or Dispositions to Third Party.
------------------------------------------
In the event the Partnership or any of its significant
subsidiaries, in a transaction (dealing with all or substantially all of
the business of the Partnership or such significant subsidiary) not
covered by Section 8.4 hereof (but similar in scope to such a
transaction), sells assets, merges or has a public offering, it is
hereby stated that it is the intention of the General Partners that the
Limited Partners and the Class II Subordinated Limited Partners shall
share in any "profit" or "premium" recognized from such transaction.
Because it is impossible at this time to foresee all possible factual
situations that may occur with respect to a given transaction, it is
equally impossible to determine a fair, just and equitable formula at
this time to distribute a portion of such "profit" or "premium" to the
Limited Partners and the Class II Subordinated Limited Partners. It is
stated, however, at this time, as a matter of policy of the Partnership
that it is the intention of the General Partners to allow the Limited
Partners and the Class II Subordinated Limited Partners to share a
portion of such "profit" or "premium" (assuming any "profit" or
"premium" is also actually distributed to the General Partners) in a
fair, just and equitable manner in such amount, if any, as determined in
the sole and absolute discretion of the Managing Partner at the time of
such transaction. In making such determination of such amount, if any,
the Managing Partner shall not be bound by the formula set forth in
Section 8.4 hereof. Neither the Partnership nor the General Partners
shall have any obligation, however, to cause such transaction to occur
and no Limited Partners and the Class II Subordinated Limited Partners
shall have any right to bring any cause of action against the
Partnership or its General Partners by reason of any statement made in
this Section 8.5. No payments shall be made or are intended to be made
to Class I Subordinated Limited Partners pursuant to this Section 8.5.

8.6 Allocation of Profits and Losses for Tax Purposes.
-------------------------------------------------
A. Except as provided in Sections 8.6B, C or D hereof,
all Profits And Losses For Tax Purposes of the Partnership shall be
allocated as follows:
(i) In any calendar year in which the Partnership has a
net profit for tax purposes, to the Partners with each Partner
sharing therein in the proportion that Net Income distributed to
the Partner and/or credited to the Adjusted Capital Contribution
of the Partner bears to all Net Income of the Partnership for the
calendar year.
(ii) In any calendar year in which the Partnership has a
net loss for tax purposes, first to the Class II Subordinated
Limited Partners with each Class II Subordinated Limited Partner
bearing an amount of loss to the extent set forth in the formula
described in Section 8.1A(ii) hereof; provided, however, that the
total amount of losses allocated to a Class II Subordinated
Limited Partner shall not reduce such Partner's Capital Account
below zero (determined after taking into account all prior or
contemporaneous cash distributions and all prior or
contemporaneous allocations of income, gain, loss, deduction or
credit and as determined at the close of the taxable year in
respect of which such loss or deduction is to be allocated); and
any remaining losses shall be allocated to the General Partners in
proportion to their respective General Partner percentages.
B. The Managing Partner is authorized to allocate Profits
and Losses For Tax Purposes arising in any calendar year differently
than otherwise provided for in this Section 8.6 to the extent that the
Managing Partner determines, in his discretion, that such modifications
are appropriate to cause the allocations to comply with the principles
of Section 704 of the Internal Revenue Code and such modifications are
in the overall best interests of the Partners. Any allocation made
pursuant to this Section 8.6B shall be deemed to be a complete
substitute for any allocation otherwise provided for in this Article
Eight and no amendment of this Agreement or approval of any Partner
shall be required.
C. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement
to the contrary, if the amount of any Partnership Minimum Gain at the
end of any taxable year is less than the amount of such Partnership
Minimum Gain at the beginning of such taxable year, there shall be
allocated to any Partner having a negative Capital Account at the end of
such taxable year (determined after taking into account any adjustments,
allocations and distributions described in Treasury Regulations Sections
1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) and (6)) gross income and gain (in respect
of the current taxable year and any future taxable year) in an amount
sufficient to eliminate such negative Capital Account in compliance with
Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(iv)(e). Such allocation of
gross income and gain shall be made prior to any other allocation of
profits and losses for tax purposes. Any such allocation of gross
income or gain pursuant to this Section 8.6C shall be in proportion with
such negative Capital Accounts of the Partners and such allocations of
gross income and gain shall be taken into account, to the extent
feasible, in computing subsequent allocations of Profits and Losses For
Tax Purposes of the Partnership so that the net amount of all items
allocated pursuant to each Partner pursuant to this Article Eight shall,
to the extent possible, be equal to the net amount that would have been
allocated to each such Partner pursuant to the
32
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
provisions of this Article Eight if the allocations made pursuant to the
first sentence of this Section 8.6C had not occurred.
D. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement
to the contrary, except as provided in Section 8.6C hereof, if any
Limited Partner or Class I Subordinated Limited Partner or Class II
Subordinated Limited Partner receives any adjustment, allocations, or
distributions described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-
1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6) that reduces such Partner's Capital
Account below zero or increases the negative balance in such Partner's
Capital Account, gross income and gain shall be allocated to such
Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate any negative
balance in his Capital Account created by such adjustments, allocations,
or distributions as quickly as possible in accordance with Treasury
Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d). Any such allocation of gross
income or gain pursuant to this Section 8.6D shall be in proportion with
such negative Capital Accounts of such Partners. Any allocations of
items of gross income or gain pursuant to this Section 8.6D shall (i)
not duplicate any allocations of gross income or gain made pursuant to
Section 8.6C hereof, and (ii) be taken into account, to the extent
feasible, in computing subsequent allocations of Profits and Losses For
Tax Purposes of the Partnership, so that the net amount of all items
allocated to each Limited Partner, Class I Subordinated Limited Partner
and Class II Subordinated Limited Partner pursuant to this Article Eight
shall, to the extent possible, be equal to the net amount that would
have been allocated to each such Partner pursuant to the provisions of
this Article Eight if such adjustments, allocations or distributions had
not occurred.
E. If and to the extent upon dissolution of the
Partnership pursuant to Section 2.4 hereof the allocations under Section
8.6A are inconsistent with the following provision, then such
allocations shall be adjusted to conform to the following provision:
income and gain (whether ordinary income, gain under Section 1231 of the
Internal Revenue Code, or capital gain) from disposition of all
remaining Partnership assets shall be allocated among the Partners so
that the positive balance of each Partner's Capital Account is equal to
the cash to be distributed to such Partner pursuant to Article 8.2
determined after all Capital Accounts have been adjusted to reflect the
allocations of Profits and Losses For Tax Purposes of the Partnership
and cash distributions made pursuant to Section 8.1 hereof.
8.7 Liability of General Partners.
-----------------------------
No General Partner shall be liable or accountable, directly
or indirectly (including by way of indemnification, contribution,
assessment or otherwise), for any debts, obligations or liabilities of,
or chargeable to, the Partnership or each other, whether arising in
tort, contract, or otherwise, which are created, incurred or assumed by
the Partnership (or owing to creditors or Partners during liquidation of
the Partnership) while the Partnership is a registered limited liability
limited partnership.

arbitration shall be conducted in the manner described in Section 10.1F.
E. Except as provided in Section 10.1B arbitration, under
the Arbitration Code of the National Association of Securities Dealers,
Inc. (the "NASD"), shall be the exclusive remedy for any Dispute. Any
Party may apply to the Exclusive Venues (as defined in Section 10.2) for
injunctive, specific enforcement or other relief in aid of the
arbitration proceedings or to enforce judgment of the award in such
arbitration proceeding, but not otherwise. Any award issued by the
36
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
arbitrators pursuant to these provisions may be entered and enforced in
the Exclusive Venues and any other appropriate jurisdiction.
F. The Parties agree among themselves that the
arbitration proceedings shall be conducted as follows:
(i) All proceedings conducted shall be deemed private and
confidential and shall not be disclosed to the public by either
the arbitrators or the Parties to the arbitration. The Parties
acknowledge that the Partnership's administrative offices and the
books and records (including accounting data) of the Partnership
are all located in the St. Louis, Missouri metropolitan area, and,
accordingly, the Parties agree to request that the arbitration
proceedings and hearings shall be held in the St. Louis, Missouri
metropolitan area (unless otherwise agreed by the Parties or
decided by the arbitrators).
(ii) The exclusive award for any Dispute shall be recovery
of compensatory damages (that is, damages which compensate a party
for actual damages suffered), and each Partner hereby waives any
and all other forms of damages including multiple, punitive or
exemplary damages, damages for emotional distress, mental anguish
or suffering and consequential damages.
(iii) The applicable substantive law of Missouri or the
United States (notwithstanding that a Party to a Dispute may be a
resident of another state or country), as the case may be, shall
be used in rendering any award. Such award shall be final and
binding on all Parties and may be entered as a judgment, under
seal, and enforced in the appropriate jurisdiction.
10.2 Forum Selection.
---------------
If any court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction shall
refuse to enforce Section 10.1 or determine a matter is not a Dispute,
then, and only then, shall the alternative provisions of this Section
10.2 be applicable. The Partners acknowledge that the Partnership's
administrative offices and the books and records (including accounting
data) of the Partnership are all located in the St. Louis, Missouri
metropolitan area and, accordingly, the Partners agree that it would be
more convenient for, and in the best mutual joint interest of, the
Partners and the Partnership that, in the event of a Dispute, venue for
litigation shall be laid exclusively in the Circuit Court of the County
of St. Louis, Missouri or in the United States District Court for the
Eastern District of Missouri. Such Circuit Court and United States
District Court are together referred to as the "Exclusive Venues" for
litigation. The Partnership and each Partner agree not to institute any
litigation except in the Exclusive Venues and further agree that
specific enforcement of this covenant with respect to Exclusive Venues
may be awarded to the Partnership and each Partner by means of all
available legal or equitable remedies, including, without limitation, a
temporary restraining order. The Partnership and each Partner hereby
submit to the personal jurisdiction of the Exclusive Venues and waive
any requirement for setting bond for a temporary restraining order. The
Firm and each
37
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Partner hereby waive any right it or such Partner may have to a jury
trial in any litigation brought in accordance with this Agreement.
10.3 Statute of Limitations.
----------------------
The statute of limitations of the State of Missouri
applicable to the commencement of a lawsuit shall apply to the
commencement of an arbitration hereunder, except no defenses shall be
available based upon the passage of time during any mediation conducted
pursuant to this Article Ten.
10.4 Other Agreements.
----------------
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any
other document or agreement requiring arbitration, including, but not
limited to, Form U-4, signed by any Party, the Parties agree that if the
matter in controversy is, in whole or in part, a Dispute, then the
provisions of this Article shall control such arbitration.
ARTICLE ELEVEN
GENERAL PROVISIONS
------------------
11.1 Appointment of Attorneys-in-Fact.
--------------------------------
A. Each Partner, by the execution hereof, hereby
irrevocably constitutes and appoints John W. Bachmann, Lawrence R.
Sobol, and the then Managing Partner (at any time the Managing Partner
is not John W. Bachmann), his true and lawful attorney-in-fact, and each
of them, with full power and authority in his name, place and stead, to
execute or acknowledge (on behalf of such Partner and/or the
Partnership) under oath, deliver, file and record at the appropriate
public offices such documents as may be necessary or appropriate to
carry out the provisions of this Agreement including:
(i) All certificates and other instruments (including this
Agreement or any certificate of limited partnership or certificate
of limited liability partnership and any amendment thereof) which
the Managing Partner deems appropriate to qualify or continue the
Partnership as a registered limited liability limited partnership
under the Missouri Limited Partnership Act and the Missouri

limited liability comparable to that provided by the Missouri
Limited Partnership Act and the Missouri Partnership Act) or
under the laws of any other jurisdiction in which the Partnership
may conduct business;
(ii) All amendments to this Agreement or any certificate of
limited partnership or any certificate of limited liability
partnership which are required to be filed or which the Managing
Partner deems to be advisable to file;

appropriate to reflect a change or modification of the Partnership
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;
(iv) All conveyances and other instruments which the
Managing Partner deems appropriate to reflect the dissolution and
termination of the Partnership; and
(v) All other instruments, documents or contracts
(including, without limiting the foregoing, any deed, lease,
mortgage, note, bill of sale, contract, trust agreement,
guarantee, partnership agreement, indenture, underwriting
agreement or any instrument or documentation which may be required
to be filed (or which the Managing Partner deems advisable to
file) by the Partnership under the laws of any state or by any
governmental agency) requisite to carrying out the intent and
purpose of this Agreement and the business of the Partnership and
its Affiliates.
B. The appointment by all Limited Partners of John W.
Bachmann, Lawrence R. Sobol, and the then Managing Partner (at any time
the Managing Partner is not John W. Bachmann), as attorney-in-fact, and
each of them, shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest in
recognition of the fact that each of the Partners under this Agreement
will be relying upon the power of John W. Bachmann, Lawrence R. Sobol,
and the then Managing Partner (at any time the Managing Partner is not
John W. Bachmann), and each of them, to act as contemplated by this
Agreement in any filing and other action by them on behalf of the
Partnership. The foregoing power of attorney shall survive the death,
disability or incompetency of a Partner or the assignment by any Partner
of the whole or any part of its interest hereunder.
11.2 Word Meanings.
-------------
The words such as "herein", "hereinafter", "hereof", and
"hereunder" refer to this Agreement as a whole and not merely to a
subdivision in which such words appear unless the context otherwise
requires. The singular shall include the plural and the masculine
gender shall include the feminine and neuter, and vice versa, unless
----------
the context otherwise requires.
11.3 Binding Provisions.

The covenants and agreements contained herein shall be
binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors,
administrators, successors and assigns of the respective parties hereto.
11.4 Applicable Law.

with the laws of the State of Missouri.
39
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
11.5 Counterparts.
------------
This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, all
of which together shall constitute one agreement binding on all parties
hereto, notwithstanding that all the parties have not signed the same
counterpart, except that no counterpart shall be binding unless signed
by the Managing Partner.
11.6 Entire Agreement.
----------------
This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the
parties and supersedes all prior writings or representations.
11.7 Separability of Provisions.
--------------------------
Each provision of this Agreement shall be considered
separable and if for any reason any provision or provisions hereby are
determined to be invalid or unenforceable such validity or
unenforceability shall not impair the operation of or affect any other
portion of this Agreement and this Agreement shall be construed in all
respects as if such invalid or unenforceable provision was omitted.
11.8 Representations.
---------------
Each person who becomes a Limited hereunder does hereby
represent and warrant by the signing of a counterpart of this Agreement
or an amendment to this Agreement that the Partnership interest acquired
by him was acquired for his own account, for investment only, not for
the interest of any other person and not for resale to other persons or
for further distribution. The Managing Partner has not made and hereby
makes no warranties or representations other than those specifically set
forth in this Agreement.
11.9 Section Titles.
--------------
Paragraph titles are for descriptive purposes only and shall
not control or alter the meaning of this Agreement as set forth in the
text.
11.10 Partition.
---------
The Partners agree that the Partnership's assets are not and
will not be suitable for partition. Accordingly, each of the Partners
hereby irrevocably waives any and all right he may have to maintain any
action for partition of any of the Partnership's assets.
40
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
11.11 No Third Party Beneficiaries.
----------------------------
This Agreement is made solely and specifically for the
benefit of the Partners and their respective successors and permitted
assigns, and no other person whatsoever shall have any rights, interests
or claims hereunder or be entitled to any benefits hereunder or on
account of this Agreement as a third party beneficiary or otherwise.
11.12 Amendments.
----------
In addition to the amendments otherwise authorized herein,
this Agreement may be amended, from time to time, without the consent or
approval of (and without prior notice to) any Limited, by the Managing
Partner or by the affirmative vote of General Partners holding an
aggregate of at least a majority of the total General Partner
Percentages. In particular, but without limiting the foregoing, the
interests of the Limited Partners and the Class II Subordinated Limited
Partners in the Net Income or the Proceeds of Liquidation of the
Partnership or in any other allocation or distribution to be received by
them from the Partnership pursuant to Article Eight hereof or otherwise
may be reduced or increased or otherwise modified in accordance with
this Section 11.12 without the consent or approval of (and without prior
notice to) any Limited.
11.13 Revocable Trusts.
----------------
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained,
it is recognized that certain of the Partners are not persons but are
revocable trusts ("Trusts"), the grantors of which ("Grantors"), except
for the transfer of their partnership interests to (or the designation
of) such Trusts created by them, would be the Partners. Thus, when used
herein the phrases "General Partner", "Limited Partner", "Limited",
"Partner", "Class I Subordinated Limited Partner" or "Class II
Subordinated Limited Partner" shall be deemed, when the context hereof
so requires (such as, without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
death, disability or withdrawal of a Partner, gross negligent conduct of
a General Partner, a General Partner receiving a guaranteed draw for
services rendered, General Partner required submission of tax returns,
sale by a General Partner of Retiring Interests after his 56th birthday)
to be a reference to the Grantor of such Trust. In addition, to the
extent that any General Partner has obligations or liabilities imposed
upon such General Partner pursuant to this Agreement, then, if such
General Partner is a Trust, such General Partner, by such General
Partner's signature hereto (and the Grantor of such Trust by such
Grantor's signature hereto), hereby agrees that said obligations and
liabilities are also obligations and liabilities of such Grantor.
