FORM OF 

AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT 

[—], 2014 

National Australia Bank Limited 
 New York, New York 

Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 The undersigned, Great
Western Bancorp, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), applies to you (the “Bank”) to (1) allow the Borrower to assume, in connection with the merger of Great Western Bancorporation, Inc.
with and into the Borrower, with the Borrower to continue as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”), all outstanding indebtedness under the Credit Agreement, dated as of June 3, 2008, as amended and supplemented from
time to time (the “Prior Credit Agreement”), between Great Western Bancorporation, Inc. and the Bank, (2) waive the restrictions contained in the Prior Credit Agreement, including without limitation
Section 7.5 of the Prior Credit Agreement, applicable to the Merger and (3) amend and restate in its entirety in the form set forth herein your commitment to extent credit to Borrower contained in the Prior Credit Agreement effective as of
the effectiveness of the Merger. 
 SECTION 1. THE CREDIT. 

Section 1.1. Revolving Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Bank agrees to extend a revolving credit (the
“Revolving Credit”) to the Borrower in the form of loans (the “Loans”) which may be availed of by the Borrower from time to time during the period from and including the date hereof to but not including the
Termination Date, at which time the commitment of the Bank to extend credit under the Revolving Credit shall expire, provided that the aggregate principal amount of Loans outstanding at any one time shall not exceed $10,000,000.00 (Ten Million U.S.
Dollars) (the “Commitment”, as such amount may be reduced pursuant to Section 3.2 hereof). The Loans shall be made against and evidenced by and bear interest as set forth in a promissory note of the Borrower in the form (with
appropriate insertions) attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Note”). Without regard to the principal amount of the Note stated on its face, the actual principal amount at any time outstanding and owing by the Borrower on account
of the Note shall be the sum of all Loans made hereunder less all payments of principal actually received by the Bank. During the period from and including the date hereof to but not including the Termination Date, the Borrower may use the
Commitment by borrowing, repaying and reborrowing Loans in whole or in part, all in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 

Section 1.2. Manner and Disbursement of Loans. The Borrower shall give written or telephonic notice to the Bank (which notice
shall be irrevocable once given) by no later than Noon (New York City time) on the date the Borrower requests the Bank to make a Loan hereunder specifying the date of the Loan requested (which must be a Business Day) and the amount of such Loan. The
Borrower agrees that the Bank may rely upon any written or telephonic notice given by any person the Bank in good faith believes is an Authorized Representative without the necessity of independent investigation. Subject to the provisions of
Section 6 hereof, the proceeds of each Loan shall be made available to the Borrower at the principal office of the Bank in New York City in immediately available funds. 







 SECTION 2. INTEREST AND CHANGE IN
CIRCUMSTANCES. 
 Section 2.1. Commitment Fee. For the period from the date the condition precedent to
effectiveness set forth in Section 6.1(d) is satisfied to and including the Termination Date the Borrower shall pay to the Bank a commitment fee at the rate of 1/4 of 1% per annum on an average daily unused amount of the Commitment, such
fee to be paid quarterly in arrears on the last day of each calendar quarter and on the Termination Date and to be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed. 

Section 2.2. Change in Circumstances. In the event any new or changed applicable law, regulation or guideline or the
interpretation thereof imposes, increases or deems applicable any reserve, capital adequacy or similar requirement with respect to the Loans or the funding thereof or imposes any withholding requirement which has the effect of reducing the rate of
return on the Bank’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or increases the cost to the Bank of maintaining the Loans, the Borrower shall pay such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Bank for such increase cost
or reduced return. A certificate of the Bank setting forth the computational of any additional amount payable to it hereunder in reasonable detail shall be deemed prima facia correct. 

Section 2.3. Lending Branch. The Bank may, at its option, elect to make, fund or maintain the Loans at such of its branches or
offices as the Bank may from time to time elect. 
 SECTION 3. PREPAYMENTS, TERMINATIONS AND
APPLICATIONS 
 Section 3.1. Voluntary Prepayments. The Borrower shall have the privilege of prepaying the Note in
whole or in part at any time upon notice to the Bank (such notice if received subsequent to Noon (New York City time) on a given day to be treated as though received at the opening of business on the next Business Day), by paying to the Bank the
principal amount to be prepaid and, if such a prepayment prepays the Note in full and is accompanied by the termination in whole of the Commitment, accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment. 

Section 3.2. Terminations. The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time, upon one (1) Business Day
prior notice to the Bank, to irrevocably terminate without premium or penalty and in whole or in part (but if in part, then in an amount not less than $1,000,000) the Commitment, provided that the Commitment may not be so reduced to an amount less
than the aggregate principal amount of the Loans then outstanding. 
 Section 3.3. Place and Application of Payments. All
payments of principal, interest, and all other Obligations payable under the Loan Documents shall be made to the Bank at its office at 245 Park Avenue, New York, New York (or at such other place as the Bank may specify) no later than 12:00 noon (New
York time) on the date any such payment is due and payable. Payments received by the Bank after noon shall be deemed received as of the opening of business on the next Business Day. All such payments shall be made in lawful money of the United
States of America, in immediately available funds at the place of payment, without set-off or counterclaim. 

  
 -2- 








 Section 3.4. Notations. All Loans made against the Note and the rates of interest
applicable thereto shall be recorded by the Bank on its books and records or, at its option in any instance, endorsed on a schedule to the Note and the unpaid principal balance and rates so recorded or endorsed shall be prima facie evidence in any
court or other proceeding brought to enforce the Note of the principal amount remaining unpaid thereon and the interest rates applicable thereto; provided that the failure of the Bank to record any of the foregoing shall not limit or otherwise
affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the principal amount of the Note together with accrued interest thereon.
