                                   PROSPECTUS

                                  DECEMBER 2002





                       EXCHANGE NATIONAL BANCSHARES, INC.

         Exchange National Bancshares, Inc. ("Exchange National") is a
multi-bank holding company incorporated under the laws of the State of Missouri
and the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. Through our banking
subsidiaries, we provide general banking services to individuals and businesses
throughout Missouri. Our principal executive offices are located at 132 East
High Street, Jefferson City, Missouri 65101. Our telephone number is (573)
761-6100.

                             DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

         The following, in question and answer form, are the provisions of the
Plan. Those holders of Common Stock who do not wish to participate in the Plan
will continue to receive cash dividends, as declared, in the usual manner.

PURPOSE

1.       WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE PLAN?

         The primary purpose of the Plan is to provide eligible Exchange
National shareholders with a convenient and cost-effective method of increasing
their investment in Exchange National by investing cash dividends and optional
cash payments in additional Exchange National shares.

         If the shares of common stock acquired through the Plan are purchased
directly from Exchange National, Exchange National will receive new equity
capital funds that may be used by it for general corporate purposes.

         The Plan is intended for the benefit of long-term investors and not for
the benefit of individuals or institutions who engage in short-term trading
activities which cause temporary fluctuations in the composite trading volume
and market price of shares.





ADVANTAGES

2.       WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF THE PLAN?

         Under the Plan:

       - You may acquire additional shares by having all or part of your
         Exchange National common stock dividends automatically reinvested in
         additional shares of Exchange National common stock at NO TRANSACTIONAL
         COST TO YOU.

       - You may increase your holdings in Exchange National common stock by
         making optional cash payments by check, money order or by authorizing
         automatic investments from a U.S. bank account through a debit program
         available at NO COST TO YOU.

       - You may purchase Exchange National common stock in whole dollar
         amounts, rather than a specific quantity of shares, with the
         appropriate number of full and fractional shares credited to your
         account.

       - You may deposit common stock certificates into your account and have
         your ownership of common stock maintained in book-entry form via the
         optional "safekeeping program" available at no cost to you.

       - You will receive regular statements indicating activity in your
         account.

PARTICIPATION

3.       WHO IS ELIGIBLE TO PARTICIPATE?

         You are eligible to participate in the Plan if you live in the United
States and you already hold at least one share of Exchange National common stock
registered in your own name.

         You will not be eligible to participate in the Plan if you reside in a
jurisdiction in which it is unlawful for Exchange National to permit your
participation.

         Your right to participate in the Plan is not transferable apart from a
transfer of your underlying shares of Exchange National common stock to another
eligible person.

4.       HOW DO I PARTICIPATE?

         If your shares are registered in your own name, you may join the Plan
by completing and signing an Authorization Card and returning it to the Plan
Administrator. Once you are enrolled in the Plan, you will continue to
participate without further action on your part. You may change your investment
options by completing, signing and returning a new Authorization Card to the
Plan Administrator or in writing by amending prior card instructions. If your
shares are registered in more than one name (i.e., joint tenants, trustees,
etc.), all named persons must sign the Authorization Card exactly as their names
appear on the account registration.







         If your shares are held in a brokerage, bank or other intermediary
account, and you wish to participate directly in the Plan, you should direct
your broker, bank or trustee to register some or all of your shares directly in
your name. Once your shares have been registered in your name, you may join the
Plan by completing and signing an Authorization Card and returning it to the
Plan Administrator.

INVESTMENT OPTIONS

5.       WHAT OPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE UNDER THE PLAN?

         You may have cash dividends on all, none or a portion of your Exchange
National shares automatically reinvested in additional Exchange National shares.

         If you wish, you may also purchase shares of Exchange National common
stock by making optional cash payments, within specified limits (as described in
Questions 7 through 9). You may purchase shares of Exchange National common
stock with optional cash payments or via an automatic debit program through a
U.S. bank account even if you are not reinvesting dividends on your shares of
Exchange National common stock. If the Board of Directors of Exchange National
suspend the payment of dividends for any reason, your ability to make purchases
through optional cash payments may also be suspended.

6.       HOW DO I ELECT TO REINVEST DIVIDENDS?

         You may choose to reinvest all, a portion or none of the cash dividends
paid on your Exchange National shares reinvested under the Plan in additional
shares of Exchange National common stock by completing an Authorization Card and
returning it to the Plan Administrator. You can change your dividend
reinvestment election at any time by completing and signing a new Authorization
Card and returning it to the Plan Administrator. For your new or changed
participation to be effective for a particular dividend, your notification must
be received at least 5 business days prior to the record date for that dividend.
In the past Exchange National has paid dividends on or around the 1st day of
January, April, July and October. The Company has also paid a special dividend
on or around the 1st day of December.








         You must choose one of the following when completing the Authorization
Card:

         (a)      FULL DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT - If you select this option, the
                  Plan Administrator will reinvest all cash dividends paid on
                  all of the Exchange National shares registered in your name
                  and you will be able to make optional cash payments for the
                  purchase of additional shares in accordance with the Plan (as
                  described in Questions 7 through 9).

                  OR

         (b)      PARTIAL DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT - If you select this option, the
                  Plan Administrator will pay you dividends in cash on the
                  number of shares of Exchange National common stock that you
                  specify in the appropriate space on the Authorization Card and
                  apply the balance of your dividends toward the purchase of
                  additional shares in accordance with the Plan. This option
                  also permits you to make optional cash payments for the
                  purchase of additional shares in accordance with the Plan (as
                  described in Questions 7 through 9).

                  OR


         (c)      CASH PAYMENTS ONLY - If you select this option, your dividends
                  will not be reinvested. Instead, you will receive payment by
                  check or automatic deposit for all of your cash dividends. NO
                  ACTION IS REQUIRED BY YOU FOR THIS OPTION.

         You may select any of the above investment options. If no option is
selected by you on the Authorization Card which you return, you will be enrolled
in the Full Dividend Reinvestment option. Regardless of your investment choice,
all shares purchased for you through the Plan will be credited to your account
by the Plan Administrator until you direct that these shares be sold or issued
to you in certificate form.

7.       HOW DO I MAKE OPTIONAL CASH PAYMENTS?

         If your shares are registered in your name but you have not previously
enrolled in the Plan, you may make optional cash payments by mailing to the Plan
Administrator (1) a check or money order payable to Illinois Stock Transfer
Company and (2) a completed and signed Authorization Card.








         If your shares are registered in your name and you have already
enrolled in the Plan by submitting an Authorization Card, you may make optional
cash payments by mailing to the Plan Administrator (1) a check or money order
payable to Illinois Stock Transfer Company and (2) the top detachable portion of
your account statement, properly completed and signed.

         If you wish to make regular monthly optional cash payments, you can
authorize an automatic monthly debit from your checking or savings account at a
U.S. bank. This feature enables you to make ongoing investments without writing
a check. To initiate automatic debits, you must complete and sign an Automatic
Debit Program Card and return it to the Plan Administrator together with a
voided blank check or savings account deposit slip, from the bank from which the
funds are to be withdrawn. Your authorization card for automatic withdrawals
will be processed and will become effective as promptly as practicable. However,
you should allow four to six weeks for your first investment to be initiated.
Once automatic debits are initiated, funds will be drawn from your specified
account on or around the 20th day of each month. You must notify the Plan
Administrator in writing to change or terminate your automatic monthly
withdrawals.

         In the event that your check is returned unpaid for any reason or your
designated U.S. bank account does not have sufficient funds for automatic
withdrawal and the Plan Administrator is unable to collect funds from you, the
Plan Administrator will consider your optional payment null and void. A $25.00
fee will be assessed for any check or automatic monthly debit that is returned
for insufficient funds. The amount of such fee is subject to change without
notice.

8.       WHAT ARE THE LIMITATIONS ON OPTIONAL CASH PAYMENTS?

         You must invest at least $25.00 with each optional cash payment and
cannot invest more than $2,000.00 in any one month. The Plan will invest in
shares once per month as discussed in Question 11. Interest will not be paid to
you on amounts held by the Plan pending investment.

         Optional cash payments which do not comply with the minimum or maximum
limit will not be accepted under the Plan and such payments, in their entirety,
will be returned to the participants without interest.







         If you have more than one Plan account, Exchange National in its sole
discretion may aggregate all optional cash payments for purposes of determining
whether optional cash payments comply with the Plan limitations.

         The limitations on the amounts of optional cash payments described
above are subject to change from time to time. You will be notified promptly of
any such changes.

9.       WHEN SHOULD I SUBMIT MY OPTIONAL CASH PAYMENTS?

         The Plan Administrator will make purchases of Exchange National common
stock for the Plan once each month on the 1st day of the month (or the date of
the dividend payment in months in which dividends are paid), or, if that day is
not a business day, then on the first subsequent business day. In order to have
your investment made, the Plan Administrator must receive your check or money
order and other required documents 5 business days before the 1st day of the
month. For purposes of the Plan, a business day is a day on which Exchange
National common stock is traded on the Nasdaq National Market System.

         If your optional cash payment is received too late to be invested it
will be invested the following month, unless you request in writing that it be
returned to you. You will not receive any interest on any optional cash payments
held pending investment. Therefore, although optional cash payments may be made
at any time, it is advisable to transmit such payments so that they will be
received 5 business days before the 1st day of the month. The Plan Administrator
will return any optional cash payment upon receipt of a written request up to 48
hours before such cash payment is invested under the Plan, providing your check
has had sufficient time to clear.

PURCHASES UNDER THE PLAN

10.      HOW ARE SHARES ACQUIRED UNDER THE PLAN?

         Once a month, the Plan Administrator will make arrangements to use all
optional cash payments and all collected dividends (if a dividend is paid that
month) to purchase shares of Exchange National common stock for the accounts of
participants under the Plan. Shares purchased under the Plan will be purchased
either directly from









Exchange National, in which event such shares will be either authorized but
unissued shares or shares held in the treasury, or on the open market, or by any
combination of the foregoing at Exchange National's discretion.

         In the event that the number of shares purchased for your account is
not an even number of shares, your account will be credited with the whole
number of shares and fractional shares computed to three decimal places if your
shares are registered in your own name.

11.      WHEN WILL SHARES BE PURCHASED UNDER THE PLAN?

         In the case of shares purchased under the Plan directly from Exchange
National, dividends and optional cash payments will be reinvested or invested,
as the case may be, on the 1st day of the month (or the date dividends are paid
in a month in which dividends are paid), or if such day is not a business day,
then the next business day thereafter.

         In the case of shares purchased under the Plan on the open market,
purchases will begin on the 1st day of the month or the first business day
thereafter and will be completed as soon as practicable in accordance with any
applicable Federal or state securities laws. For record keeping and cost
allocation purposes, all such purchases made in the open market during the
relevant period will be deemed to have been made on the final day the
transaction is completed. Such purchases may be made on any securities exchange
where such shares are traded, in the over-the-counter market, or by negotiated
transactions and may be subject to such terms with respect to delivery and other
matters as the Plan Administrator may deem appropriate.

         Because the Plan Administrator will arrange for the purchase of shares
on behalf of the Plan, neither Exchange National nor any participant in the Plan
has any authority or power to direct the time or price at which any open market
purchases may be completed or as to the selection of any broker or dealer
through or from whom such purchases are to be made. Therefore, you will not be
able to precisely time your purchases through the Plan and will bear the market
risk associated with fluctuations in the price of Exchange National common
stock. That is, if you send in an optional cash payment, it is possible that the
market price of Exchange National common stock could go up or down before the
broker purchases stock with your funds. In addition, you will not earn interest
on optional cash payments for the period before these shares are purchased.







         For the purpose of making purchases, the Plan Administrator will
commingle the funds of the participants. The purchase of shares under the Plan
at any given date or time will be subject to compliance with applicable Federal
and state securities laws.

12.      AT WHAT PRICE WILL SHARES BE PURCHASED UNDER THE PLAN?

         If the shares are purchased on the open market, your price per share
will be the weighted average price of shares purchased on the open market during
the relevant period.

         If the shares are purchased from Exchange National, your price per
share will be the average of the daily high and low prices of the shares of
Exchange National common stock as reported on the Nasdaq National Market System
for the day (on which shares are traded) immediately preceding the day in which
the shares are purchased for your Plan account.

       If the shares are purchased in a negotiated transaction, your price per
share will not be higher than the price determined for such day under the
formula set forth in the preceding paragraph.

CERTIFICATES FOR SHARES OF EXCHANGE NATIONAL COMMON STOCK

13.      WILL CERTIFICATES BE ISSUED FOR SHARES OF EXCHANGE NATIONAL COMMON
STOCK PURCHASED UNDER THE PLAN?

         No, shares of Exchange National that you buy through the Plan will be
maintained in your Plan account for safekeeping in a book entry position. You
may, however, request a stock certificate at any time by submitting a written
request to the Plan Administrator or by contacting the Plan Administrator by
telephone. Any stock certificates requested by telephone will be mailed to the
address of record only.

14.      IN WHOSE NAME WILL STOCK CERTIFICATES BE REGISTERED WHEN ISSUED?

         Your account under the Plan will be maintained in the name in which
your stock certificates were registered at the time you entered the Plan.
Therefore, if your certificates were issued in joint name, your Plan account
will









also be so named. Certificates for whole shares of Exchange National common
stock issued at your request will be similarly registered.

         You may not pledge or assign any shares credited to your Plan account
as a result of reinvested dividends or otherwise and any such purported pledge
or assignment will be void. If you wish to pledge or assign shares held in your
Plan account, you must first request a certificate for such shares. (See
Question 13 regarding share certificates.)

15.      CAN I SEND MY STOCK CERTIFICATES TO THE PLAN ADMINISTRATOR FOR
SAFEKEEPING?

         Yes. You may deposit with the Plan Administrator any Exchange National
stock certificates now or hereafter registered in your name for credit and
safekeeping under the Plan at no cost. Because Exchange National and the Plan
Administrator are responsible for the safekeeping of Exchange National stock
certificates deposited with the Plan, you will no longer bear the risk and cost
associated with the loss, theft or destruction of the stock certificate(s). To
use the safekeeping service, send your Exchange National stock certificates to
the Plan Administrator by registered mail with written instructions as provided
in the "safekeeping" transmittal form to deposit them in safekeeping. Do not
endorse the stock certificate(s) or complete the assignment section.

         Whenever certificates are issued to you either upon request or upon
termination of participation, new, differently numbered certificates will be
issued to you.

WITHDRAWAL AND SALE OF SHARES IN PLAN ACCOUNTS

16.      HOW MAY SHARES BE WITHDRAWN FROM THE PLAN?

         Any or all shares credited to your account from time to time, including
shares deposited with the Plan Administrator for safekeeping, may be withdrawn
by notifying the Plan Administrator in writing specifying the number of shares
to be withdrawn. Certificates will be issued for whole shares only. In the event
your request involves a fractional share, a check for the value of the
fractional share (less any applicable fees and taxes) will be mailed to you.

17.    HOW MAY I SELL SHARES UNDER THE PLAN?

       You may sell shares in your Plan account in one of two ways. You may
request in writing that the Plan Administrator issue to you a certificate for
any or all of the whole shares in your Plan account, and thereafter you may sell
any or all of such shares through your own broker or otherwise at any time you
choose. (See Question 13 concerning certificates for shares.) Alternatively, you
may request in writing that the Plan Administrator sell any or all of the shares
in your Plan account, including shares deposited by you with the Plan
Administrator as custodian for safekeeping (see Question 15 for information
regarding safekeeping). Any applicable brokerage fees or commissions on such
sales as well as a service fee of $10.00 assessed by the Plan Administrator for
each requested sale will be deducted from your proceeds. Shares you sell in this
manner will be aggregated with those of other participants for whom the Plan
Administrator is also selling shares on the same date. The Plan Administrator
will process all sale orders as soon as practicable after your request is
received. Your sales proceeds will be mailed to you by check, less related
brokerage fees or commissions, any other costs of sale and a service fee of
$10.00 charged by the Plan Administrator.

TERMINATION OF PARTICIPATION IN THE PLAN

18.    HOW AND WHEN MAY I TERMINATE PARTICIPATION IN THE PLAN?

       You may terminate participation in the Plan by submitting written notice
to the Plan Administrator. Subject to the limitations described in the next
paragraph, as soon as practicable following receipt of the notice of
termination, the Plan Administrator will send you a certificate for the number
of whole shares held in your account, including any shares that you may have
deposited with the Plan Administrator as custodian for safekeeping. If you wish,
the Plan Administrator will sell all or a portion of your shares and send you a
check for the value of the shares, less any related brokerage fees or
commissions, any other costs of sale and a service fee of $10.00 charged by the
Plan Administrator.

       If the Plan Administrator receives the notice of termination on or after
the record date for a dividend payment but before the payment date, your request
may not become effective until after the dividends paid on your shares







under the Plan have been reinvested and the shares purchased therewith have been
credited to your account. The Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, may
either pay any such dividend to you in cash or reinvest it in Exchange National
common stock on your behalf. If such dividend is reinvested, the Plan
Administrator may sell the shares purchased and remit the proceeds to you, less
any brokerage commissions, any other costs of sale and any service fee. Any of
your optional cash payments received by the Plan Administrator prior to receipt
of your request to terminate will also be invested beginning on the next date on
which the Plan Administrator purchases shares for the Plan unless you expressly
request the return of such optional cash payment in your notice of termination
and such request is received at least 48 hours before the date the Plan
Administrator next purchases shares for the Plan.

       In the event that your Plan account contains a fractional share when you
terminate your participation, you will not receive the fractional share. Rather,
you will receive a check in payment of the fractional share, in an amount based
on the current per share market price of Exchange National common stock for
shares sold by the Plan Administrator at or around such time, less an allocable
portion of any related fees, commissions and costs.

       After termination, dividends on your shares will be paid to you in cash
unless and until you rejoin the Plan, which you may do at any time by
completing, signing and returning a new Authorization Card to the Plan
Administrator.

COSTS

19.    ARE THERE ANY EXPENSES TO ME IN CONNECTION WITH PURCHASES UNDER THE PLAN?

       You will incur no service charges or brokerage commissions for purchases
made under the Plan either by reinvesting dividends or making optional cash
purchases. Exchange National pays all costs of administration of the Plan.
However, you will incur expenses upon the sale of shares under the Plan either
upon termination of your participation in the Plan or otherwise. See Questions
17 and 18.


ADMINISTRATION

20.    WHAT ARE THE FUNCTIONS OF THE PLAN ADMINISTRATOR?

       The Plan Administrator administers the Plan by acquiring shares of
Exchange National common stock on behalf of participants, keeping records,
sending statements of account to participants and performing other duties
relating to the Plan. The Plan Administrator holds in its own name or in the
name of its nominee all shares of Exchange National common stock held in the
accounts of participants.

       The Plan Administrator also acts as dividend disbursing and transfer
agent for Exchange National's common stock.

ACCOUNT REPORTS

21.    WHAT ACCOUNTS ARE MAINTAINED FOR ME AND WHAT REPORTS ON THESE ACCOUNTS
       WILL I RECEIVE?

       The Plan Administrator will maintain an account for you to which all
shares purchased by you under the Plan will be credited. The Plan Administrator
will mail you a statement confirming purchases of shares as soon as practicable
after each purchase is made. Your account statement also will include the number
of shares, if any, deposited with the Plan Administrator from time to time for
safekeeping. (See Question 15 regarding safekeeping.) You also will receive
copies of Exchange National's annual report to stockholders, proxy statements
and proxy voting card as well as dividend income information as reflected on a
Form 1099-Div for tax purposes.

OTHER INFORMATION

22.    WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I SELL OR TRANSFER ALL OF THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
       REGISTERED IN MY NAME?

       If you sell or transfer all shares of Exchange National common stock
registered in your name on the books of Exchange National, other than shares
held under the Plan, dividends on the shares credited to your account under the
Plan will continue to be reinvested until you terminate your participation under
the Plan.





23.    WHAT HAPPENS IF EXCHANGE NATIONAL PAYS A DIVIDEND IN STOCK OR SPLITS ITS
       COMMON STOCK?

       Any dividends in the form of shares of common stock and any shares of
common stock resulting from a split of Exchange National common stock
distributed by Exchange National on shares accumulated in your Plan account will
be credited to your account in a book entry position and reflected in your
account statement. In addition, if you elect Partial Dividend Reinvestment on a
specified number of shares, that number will be automatically adjusted in the
event of a stock dividend or stock split to equal the old number of shares plus
the number of new shares distributed with respect to the old number.

24.    WHAT HAPPENS IF EXCHANGE NATIONAL MAKES THE RIGHT TO PURCHASE ADDITIONAL
       SHARES OF COMMON STOCK OR OTHER SECURITIES AVAILABLE TO ITS STOCKHOLDERS?

       In the event that Exchange National makes available to its stockholders
(a) rights to purchase additional shares of common stock or (b) any securities
of any other issuer or securities of any class of Exchange National other than
shares of common stock, the Plan Administrator will, except as otherwise
provided herein, sell all such rights or other securities accruing to the shares
held under the Plan in the name of the Plan Administrator on behalf of
participants, credit the net proceeds of such sale pro rata to the accounts of
participants, and thereafter invest such proceeds in additional shares of
Exchange National common stock in the same manner as optional cash payments are
invested under the Plan, except that the monthly minimum and maximum limits
shall not apply to the investment of such proceeds. Accordingly, if you wish to
exercise any such rights or receive any such securities as may be granted or
distributed in the future to holders of common stock, you should request the
Plan Administrator to issue to you certificates for shares held in your account
so that you can receive such rights or securities directly. The price at which
the Plan Administrator shall be deemed to have sold such rights or securities
for your account shall be the average price, less any brokerage commissions and
fees, any other costs of sale and any service fee, of all such rights or
securities sold at or about the same time by the Plan Administrator for all
participants in the Plan. In the event that Exchange National, in its sole
discretion, instructs the Plan Administrator not to sell such rights or
securities accruing to the shares of Exchange National common stock held for all
participants in the Plan, the Plan Administrator will authorize Exchange
National to distribute such rights or securities directly to the participants,
in which event only full units of such rights or securities will be so
distributed. Any fractional units of such rights or securities will be
aggregated and sold and proceeds from the sale will be reinvested in the same
manner as proceeds from the sale of full rights and shares.





25.    HOW WILL MY SHARES OF COMMON STOCK BE VOTED AT MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS?

       Exchange National will mail you proxy materials including a proxy card
representing both the shares for which you hold certificates and the shares,
full and fractional, in your Plan account. The proxy will be voted as indicated
by you. If you do not return the proxy card or if you return it unsigned, none
of your shares will be voted.

26.    WHAT ARE THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF PARTICIPATION IN THE
       PLAN?

       The following summary is not a comprehensive summary of all of the tax
considerations that may be relevant to you and is based upon an interpretation
of current Federal income tax law. You should consult your own tax advisor to
determine the particular tax consequences, including state tax consequences,
which will vary from state to state, that may result from your participation in
the Plan and subsequent disposal of shares of common stock acquired by you
pursuant to the Plan.

       Cash dividends reinvested under the Plan will be taxable as having been
received by you even though you have not actually received them in cash. You
will receive a Form 1099-Div from the Plan Administrator indicating the amount
of reinvested dividends reported to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service as
dividend income. The statement will also reflect as income any trading fees paid
by Exchange National on your behalf for purchases of shares.

       You will not realize gain or loss for U.S. Federal income tax purposes
upon the transfer of shares to the Plan or upon the withdrawal of whole shares
from the Plan. You will, however, generally realize gain or loss upon the sale
of shares (including the receipt of cash for fractional shares) held in the
Plan.

       In the case of Plan participants whose dividends are subject to U.S.
Federal income tax withholding, or backup withholding, dividends will be
invested net of the amount of tax to be withheld.

       You will be required to provide the Plan Administrator with a correct
taxpayer identification number on Form W-9, unless an exemption applies. Failure
to provide the information required on Form W-9 may subject you to






federal income tax backup withholding on the amount of any dividends paid to
you, including dividends that are reinvested pursuant to the terms of the Plan.

27.    WHAT ARE THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE PLAN ADMINISTRATOR AND EXCHANGE
       NATIONAL UNDER THE PLAN?

       Neither Exchange National nor the Plan Administrator will be liable under
the Plan for any act done in good faith, or for any good faith omission to act,
including, without limitation, any claim of liability (a) arising out of any
such act or omission to act which occurs prior to the termination of a
participant's participation, including failure to terminate a participant's
account upon such participant's death, and (b) with respect to the prices at
which shares of Exchange National common stock are purchased or sold or other
rights or securities are sold for the participant's account and the times such
purchases or sales are made.
       You should recognize neither Exchange National nor the Plan Administrator
can assure you of profits, or protect you against losses, on shares purchased or
held under the Plan.
       The payment of dividends is at the discretion of the Exchange National
Board of Directors and will depend upon future earnings, the financial condition
of Exchange National, governmental regulations and other factors. The Exchange
National Board of Directors may change the amount and timing of dividends at any
time without notice.

28.    CAN EXCHANGE NATIONAL OR THE PLAN ADMINISTRATOR TERMINATE A PARTICIPANT'S
       INTEREST IN THE PLAN?

       Yes, Exchange National or the Plan Administrator may terminate any
participant's participation in the Plan at any time for any reason, including,
without limitation, arbitrage-related activities or transactional profit
activities, upon notice in writing mailed to the participant. In such event the
Plan Administrator will follow the procedures for termination set forth in
Question 18.

29.    WHAT IS SUFFICIENT NOTICE TO A PARTICIPANT?

       Any notice which by any provision of the Plan is required to be given by
the Plan Administrator to a participant shall be in writing and shall be deemed
to have been sufficiently given for all purposes by being deposited postage
prepaid in a post office letter box addressed to the participant at the
participant's address as it currently appears on the Plan Administrator's
records.





30.    CAN SUCCESSOR PLAN ADMINISTRATORS BE NAMED?

       Yes, Exchange National may from time to time designate a bank or trust
company as successor administrator under the Plan.

31.    WHO INTERPRETS THE PLAN AND WHAT LAW GOVERNS?

       Any question of interpretation under the Plan will be determined by
Exchange National and/or the Plan Administrator, and any such determination will
be final. The terms and conditions of the Plan and its operation are governed by
the laws of the State of Missouri.

32.    MAY THE PLAN BE CHANGED, SUSPENDED OR TERMINATED?

       Yes, Exchange National may suspend, modify or terminate the Plan at any
time. In such a case, Exchange National will use all reasonable efforts to
notify participants of such change or termination. Exchange National and the
Plan Administrator also reserve the right to change any administrative
procedures of the Plan including, but not limited to, establishing additional
requirements that apply to participation in the Plan by brokers, banks and other
intermediaries.

                                 USE OF PROCEEDS

       Proceeds from any newly issued shares of common stock purchased directly
from Exchange National under the Plan will be available for general corporate
purposes. Exchange National has no basis for estimating either the number of
shares of common stock that will ultimately be purchased directly from it, if
any, under the Plan or the prices at which such shares will be sold.

                                  LEGAL OPINION

       The legality of the shares of common stock offered hereby has been passed
upon for Exchange National by Stinson Morrison Hecker LLP.



                                 INDEMNIFICATION

       Exchange National's By-Laws and Articles of Incorporation provide that
directors and officers of Exchange National shall be indemnified to the fullest
extent permitted by the laws of the State of Missouri against liability for
certain of their acts.

       Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of Exchange National pursuant to the foregoing provisions or
otherwise, Exchange National has been informed that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy
as expressed in the Act and is therefore unenforceable.

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

       The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
complete text of the statute referred to below and the Articles of Incorporation
and Bylaws of the registrant.

       Section 351.355 of The General and Business Corporation Law of Missouri
provides for indemnification by a corporation of its officers and directors and
certain other persons as follows:

       1. A corporation created under the laws of this state may indemnify any
person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative, other than an action by or in the
right of the corporation, by reason of








                                      II-1

the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys' fees,
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred
by him in connection with such action, suit, or proceeding if he or she acted in
good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed
to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal
action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was
unlawful. The termination of any action, suit, or proceeding by judgment, order,
settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent,
shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good
faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his or her
conduct was unlawful.

         2. The corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or
suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by
reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or
agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation
as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including attorneys'
fees, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he or she
acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the best interests of the corporation; except that no
indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to
which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or
misconduct in the performance of his or her duty to the corporation unless and
only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought
determines upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability and in
view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the court shall deem proper.

         3. Except as otherwise provided in the articles of incorporation or the
bylaws, to the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of


                                      II-2






any action, suit, or proceeding referred to in subsections 1 and 2 of this
section, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he or she shall be
indemnified against expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably
incurred by him in connection with the action, suit, or proceeding.

         4. Any indemnification under subsections 1 and 2 of this section,
unless ordered by a court, shall be made by the corporation only as authorized
in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director,
officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because he or she has
met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this section. The
determination shall be made by the board of directors by a majority vote of a
quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit, or
proceeding, or if such a quorum is not obtainable, or even if obtainable a
quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a
written opinion, or by the shareholders.

         5. Expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or
proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of
the action, suit, or proceeding as authorized by the board of directors in the
specific case upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director,
officer, employee or agent to repay such amount unless it shall ultimately be
determined that he or she is entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as
authorized in this section.

         6. The indemnification provided by this section shall not be deemed
exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be
entitled under the articles of incorporation or bylaws or any agreement, vote of
shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his
or her official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such
office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director,
officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs,
executors and administrators of such a person.

         7. A corporation created under the laws of this state shall have the
power to give any further indemnity, in addition to the indemnity authorized or
contemplated under other subsections of this section, including subsection 6, to
any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent, or to any
person who is or was


                                      II-3






serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or
agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, provided such further indemnity is either (i) authorized, directed,
or provided for in the articles of incorporation of the corporation or any duly
adopted amendment thereof or (ii) is authorized, directed, or provided for in
any bylaw or agreement of the corporation which has been adopted by a vote of
the shareholders of the corporation, and provided further that no such indemnity
shall indemnify any person from or on account of such person's conduct which was
finally adjudged to have been knowingly fraudulent, deliberately dishonest or
willful misconduct. Nothing in this subsection shall be deemed to limit the
power of the corporation under subsection 6 of this section to enact bylaws or
to enter into agreements without shareholder adoption of the same.

         8. The corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any
person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation,
or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him
in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or
not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability
under the provisions of this section.

         9. Any provision of this chapter to the contrary notwithstanding, the
provisions of this section shall apply to all existing and new domestic
corporations, including but not limited to banks, trust companies, insurance
companies, building and loan associations, savings bank and safe deposit
companies, mortgage loan companies, corporations formed for benevolent,
religious, scientific or educational purposes and nonprofit corporations.

         10. For the purpose of this section, references to "the corporation"
include all constituent corporations absorbed in a consolidation or merger as
well as the resulting or surviving corporation so that any person who is or was
a director, officer, employee or agent of such a constituent corporation or is
or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise shall stand in the same position under the provisions
of this section with respect to


                                      II-4




the resulting or surviving corporation as he or she would if he or she had
served the resulting or surviving corporation in the same capacity.

         11. For purposes of this section, the term "other enterprise" shall
include employee benefit plans; the term "fines" shall include any excise taxes
assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and the term
"serving at the request of the corporation" shall include any service as a
director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation which imposes duties on,
or involves services by, such director, officer, employee, or agent with respect
to an employee benefit plan, its participants, or beneficiaries; and a person
who acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in
the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan
shall be deemed to have acted in a manner "not opposed to the best interests of
the corporation" as referred to in this section.

         Article Tenth of the registrant's Articles of Incorporation contains a
provision requiring the registrant to indemnify its directors and officers to
the fullest extent permitted by Missouri law. In the event that the laws of the
state of Missouri are amended or changed, then the registrant automatically
shall be deemed authorized to indemnify such persons to the fullest extent
permitted by such law, as so changed. Article V of the registrant's Bylaws
provides that the registrant shall indemnify eligible persons in accordance with
Article Tenth of the registrant's Articles of Incorporation.

         Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Article Tenth of the
registrant's Articles of Incorporation requires the registrant to indemnify any
person against all liabilities and expenses actually and reasonably incurred by
such person in connection with any action, suit or proceeding by reason of the
fact that such person is or was serving as a director or officer of the
registrant or, at the registrant's request, as a director or officer of another
enterprise; provided that such person's conduct is not finally adjudged to have
been knowingly fraudulent, deliberately dishonest or willful misconduct; and
provided, further, that the registrant shall not be required to indemnify or
advance expenses to any such person in connection with an action, suit or
proceeding initiated by such person unless the initiation of such action, suit
or proceeding was authorized in advance by the registrant's Board of Directors.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no indemnification shall be made in respect of
expenses, penalties or



                                      II-5





other payments incurred by such person in connection with any administrative
proceeding or action instituted by an appropriate bank regulatory agency which
results in a final order assessing civil money penalties or requiring
affirmative action by such person in the form of payments to the registrant.

         Article Tenth of the registrant's Articles of Incorporation permits the
Board of Directors to authorize the registrant to purchase and maintain
insurance against any liability asserted against any person against any
liability incurred by such person by reason of the fact that such person is or
was serving as a director or officer of the registrant or, at the registrant's
request, as a director or officer of another enterprise, whether or not the
registrant would have the power or obligation to indemnify such person under the
provisions described above, other than liability arising from any administrative
proceeding or action instituted by an appropriate bank regulatory agency which
results in civil money penalties against such person or the registrant. The
registrant has obtained directors and officers liability insurance which
(subject to certain limits and deductibles) (i) insures officers and directors
of the registrant and its subsidiaries against loss arising from certain claims
made against them by reason of their being directors or officers, and (ii)
insures the registrant against loss which it may be required or permitted to pay
as indemnification due its directors or officers for certain claims. Such
insurance provides coverage for certain matters as to which the registrant may
not be permitted by law to provide indemnification.

         The indemnification authorized and provided for by the registrant's
Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws is not exclusive of any other rights to
which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any statute,
agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, policy of insurance
or otherwise.

         The Federal Deposit Insurance Act (the "FDI Act") provides that the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC") may prohibit or limit, by
regulation or order, payments by any insured depository institution or its
holding company for the benefit of directors and officers of the insured
depository institution, or others who are or were "institution-affiliated
parties," as defined under the FDI Act, in order to pay or reimburse such person
for any liability or legal expense sustained with regard to any administrative
or civil enforcement action which results in a final order against the person.
FDIC regulations prohibit, subject to certain exceptions, insured depository
institutions, their subsidiaries and affiliated holding companies from
indemnifying officers, directors or



                                      II-6





employees for any civil money penalty or judgment resulting from an
administrative or civil enforcement action commenced by an federal banking
agency, or for that portion of the costs sustained with regard to such an action
that results in a final order or settlement that is adverse to the director,
officer or employee.
