 Dear Peter, 

I am pleased to confirm your appointment to the position of Chief Financial Officer, Great Western Bank reporting to Ken Karels and located Sioux Falls in the
United States of America (US). During this international assignment to the US, you will remain an employee of National Australia Bank Limited. 
 Your
remuneration and other assignment conditions will be determined in accordance with the NAB’s Group International assignment Policy (the “Policy”), which may be amended from time to time. The Policy is essential reading for you
to enable you to become familiar with the remuneration, benefits and relocation arrangements that will apply to your international assignment to the US. 

TERM OF APPOINTMENT 
 Your international assignment to the
US will commence during the month of January 2013 and is expected to be for an initial period of two years; however, the NAB reserves the right to amend the term at any time and for any reason. 

REMUNERATION AND BENEFITS 
 Total Fixed Employment
Compensation 
 During the period of your international assignment, you will be paid in the US as a regional member of staff. Your fixed employment
compensation in the US has been set after taking into consideration US salary rates and the temporary nature of your international assignment. 
 As your
fixed employment compensation will be paid in the US you will be required to pay US taxes and statutory government levies on that remuneration. This will be paid from the Commencement Date and paid in line with the NAB’s US pay cycles. 

Your fixed employment compensation in the US will be USD $310,000 per annum. 

Housing, Furniture and Utilities 
 As an exception to the
Policy you may be reimbursed up to a net amount of USD 3200 per month to assist towards the cost of rental accommodation in the US, however, you will be responsible for the cost of all utilities (gas, electricity, etc). 







 Superannuation Fund 

You will remain a member of your home country fund where applicable (“the Fund”). The NAB will continue to make appropriate employer contributions to
the Fund on your behalf during your international assignment, based on your home country base salary. 
 Superannuation Cash Allowance 

The Maximum Earnings Benefit is set by the ATO each year and determines the maximum amount of employer superannuation contributions an individual can receive
in that year. This means that anyone earning above the MEB will have some of their employer superannuation contributions converted to cash and redirected into their pay (subject to tax at the applicable rate). 

The MEB is currently AUD $183,000 meaning the maximum employer superannuation contribution to an employee’s account will be AUD $18,300 per annum. Your
superannuation cash allowance is therefore confirmed as follows: 
  

			
	Effective:	  	November 2012
	Australia TEC:	  	AUD $300,000
	Australia TRP:	  	AUD $272,727.27
	Current Employer Superannuation Contribution:	  	AUD $  27272.73
	MEB Contribution Limit:	  	AUD $  18,300
	Superannuation Contribution in Excess of the MEB:	  	AUD $  8,972.73
	Rate of Exchange:	  	1.02273
	Host Currency Amount to be Paid:	  	USD $ 9176.68 per annum

 Performance Incentive 

You are eligible to participate in the National’s Short-Term Incentive (STI) plan. Your target annual STI reward for your assignment is 30% of your US
fixed remuneration. STI rewards are subject to the terms and conditions of the STI Plan in respect of those rewards at the relevant time. 
 NAB Employee
Equity - Performance Options, Performance Rights, and Share Schemes 
 Where applicable, participation will be in accordance with the eligibility
criteria of NAB’s performance options, performance rights and share plans. This benefit will not be “tax equalised” or “tax protected” from the Commencement Date. 

Personal Income Tax 
 You will need to have a good
understanding of your tax position that will apply during your international assignment to the US, as there will be no tax equalisation or tax protection on employment or non-employment income. You will be required to have a tax briefing with
Deloitte (currently the NAB’s taxation service providers) to gain a better understanding of any tax implications arising on your accepting this International assignment. By signing this letter, you agree that all taxation matters are your
responsibility from the Commencement Date. 
 During your international assignment, your US and Australian tax returns will be prepared by Deloitte for
yourself, the cost of which will be borne by the NAB. Tax return assistance will be provided during your International assignment and for the year of return to Australia. 

Annual Leave 
 Annual leave will be in accordance with
NAB’s US policy and effective from the Commencement Date.

Health Insurance 
 The NAB’s global provider, Marsh
Pty Ltd, will provide Health Insurance for you and your dependent family for the term of your international assignment. 
 Transfer Allowance 

A transfer allowance of AUD 4,300 (net) will be paid to you prior to your departure in accordance with Policy. This amount is to be grossed up for Australian
tax purposes. This allowance is to cover costs associated with your transfer excluding those costs outlined in “Pre-Departure Transfer Arrangements” below. In accordance with Policy, a Transfer Allowance will also be payable to you upon
your repatriation. 
 PRE-DEPARTURE TRANSFER ARRANGEMENTS 

A Global Assignment Coordinator (GAC) from Sirva, the NAB’s global provider of relocation services, will be in contact with you shortly after your
acceptance of this international assignment to provide you with a US briefing. Your GAC will also guide you through the entire moving process and will assist you on your arrival in the US. Your GAC will also keep you updated with the progress of
your move and relevant information will be available to you through Sirva’s website. Access and password details will be provided to you by your GAC. 

Visa Status 
 The NAB will sponsor you for a temporary
work visa to allow you to work in the US. This appointment and your participation in the assignment are conditional upon a work permit or visa being approved. An immigration consultant from Sirva will be in touch to coordinate the visa application.

 Health Assessment 
 You and your dependent family are
required to participate in the NAB’s international assignee health assessment program prior to your departure for the US. Details and forms are available through the Sirva website. It is advisable to have these assessments carried out quickly,
as you will be unable to commence your assignment until they have been completed. This will also be required upon your repatriation.
