                       AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AGREEMENT

     This AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AGREEMENT (the "Agreement"), dated as of
December 1, 1998, is entered into between GOLD BANC CORPORATION, INC., a Kansas
corporation (the "Borrower"), and LASALLE NATIONAL BANK, a national banking
association (the "Bank").

                                    RECITALS:

     WHEREAS, the Bank and the Borrower entered into a Loan Agreement dated
April 1, 1998 between the Pledgor and the Bank (including all renewals,
modifications, amendments and extensions thereof, the "Loan Agreement") under
which the Bank was willing to lend to the Borrower FIFTEEN MILLION and 00/100
DOLLARS ($15,000,000) in accordance with the terms, subject to the conditions
and in reliance on the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in
the Loan Agreement and in all of the other documents and instruments entered
into or delivered in connection with or relating to the loan contemplated in the
Loan Agreement including a Pledge and Security Agreement dated April 1, 1998
between the Borrower and the Bank under which the Bank was to receive, among
other things, a first priority security interest in 100% of the issued and
outstanding capital stock of The Farmers National Bank ("Farmers");

     WHEREAS, the Gold Banc Acquisitions Corporation II, Inc. (the "Subsidiary
Pledgor"), and not the Borrower as the Bank believed, is the owner of 100% of
the capital stock of Farmers;

     WHEREAS, 100% of the capital stock of the Subsidiary Pledgor is owned the
Borrower;

     WHEREAS, the Borrower desires to continue to borrow from Bank under the
Loan Agreement and the Bank wishes to continue to lend conditioned upon receipt
of a Pledge Agreement from the Subsidiary Pledgor and the Borrower pledging 100%
of the capital stock of Farmers and receipt from the Borrower of this Agreement
and an amended Pledge Agreement all subject to the conditions and in reliance
upon the representations, warranties and covenants set forth herein and in the
other documents and instruments entered into or delivered in connection with or
relating to the loan contemplated in this Agreement.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual representations, warranties,
covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

     AGREEMENT:

     1.   Commitment of the Bank.

<PAGE>

     The Bank agrees to extend a loan (the "Loan") to the Borrower in the
principal amount of FIFTEEN MILLION and 00/100 DOLLARS ($15,000,000), evidenced
by a promissory note (the "Note") and secured by the Pledge and Security
Agreement between the Borrower and the Bank dated as of April 1, 1998, as
amended from time to time, and the Pledge and Security Agreement dated as of
December 1, 1998 among the Borrower, Gold Banc Acquisition Corporation II, Inc.
(the "Subsidiary Pledgor") and the Bank (each a "Pledge Agreement" and,
collectively, the "Pledge Agreements"), in accordance with the terms and subject
to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Note, the Pledge Agreements
and the Subsidiary's Pledge .

     2.   Conditions of Borrowing.

     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Bank shall not
be required to extend the Loan:

          (a)  if, since the date of this Agreement and up to the agreed upon
date of the Loan, there has occurred, in the Bank's sole and complete
discretion, a material adverse change in the financial condition or affairs of
the Borrower or any Subsidiary;

          (b)  if any Default (as such term is defined below) has occurred or
any event which, with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would
constitute such a Default;

          (c)  if any litigation or governmental proceeding has been instituted
or threatened against the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any of their respective
officers or shareholders which, in the sole discretion of the Bank, could
adversely affect the financial condition or operations of the Borrower or any
Subsidiary;

          (d)  if all necessary or appropriate actions and proceedings shall not
have been taken in connection with, or relating to the transactions contemplated
hereby and all documents incident thereto shall not have been completed and
tendered for delivery, in form and substance satisfactory to the Bank;

          (e)  if the Borrower shall not have tendered for delivery the Note and
the Borrower and the Subsidiary Pledgor shall not have tendered for delivery the
Pledge Agreements, together with all of the Pledged Security (as such term is
defined in the Pledge Agreements) all in form and substance satisfactory to the
Bank;

          (f)  if the Borrower shall not have tendered for delivery a legal
opinion from the Borrower's counsel in form and substance satisfactory to the
Bank and Bank's legal counsel; or

          (g)  if the Bank shall not have received, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Bank, all certificates, affidavits, schedules, resolutions,
opinions, notes and other documents which are provided for hereunder, or which
it may reasonably request.

     3.   Note Evidencing Borrowing.

                                       2

<PAGE>

     The Loan shall be evidenced by the Note executed by the Borrower in the
principal amount of FIFTEEN MILLION and 00/100 DOLLARS ($15,000,000), which Note
shall be in the form set forth as Exhibit A hereto.

          (a)  Interest on amounts outstanding under the Note shall be payable
quarterly, in arrears, commencing on January 1, 1999 and continuing on the first
day of each October, January, April and July thereafter. A final payment of all
outstanding amounts due under the Note; including, but not limited to principal,
interest and any amounts owing under Subsection 11(m) of this Agreement, if not
payable earlier, shall be due and payable on April 1, 2000. The amounts
outstanding under the Note from time to time shall bear interest calculated on
the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a 360 day year, at a rate
equal, at the Borrower's option, to either (a) LIBOR plus 175 basis points, or
(b) the Prime Rate (whichever rate is so selected, the "Interest Rate").

     For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Prime Rate" shall mean the
floating prime rate in effect from time to time as set by the Bank, and referred
to by the Bank as its Prime Rate. The Borrower acknowledges that the Prime Rate
is not necessarily the Bank's lowest or most favorable rate of interest at any
one time. The effective date of any change in the Prime Rate shall for purposes
hereof be the date the rate change is publicly announced by the Bank.

     For purposes of this Agreement, "LIBOR" shall mean the per annum rate of
interest at which U.S. dollar deposits in an amount comparable to the amount of
the relevant LIBOR Loan and for a period equal to the relevant "Interest Period"
(hereinafter defined) are offered generally to the Bank (rounded upward if
necessary, to the nearest 1/16 of 1.00%) in the London Interbank Eurodollar
market at 11:00 a.m. (London time) two banking days prior to the commencement of
each Interest Period, such rate to remain fixed for such Interest Period.
"Interest Period" shall mean successive one, two, three or six month periods as
selected from time to time by the Borrower by notice given to the Bank not less
than three banking days prior to the first day of each respective Interest
Period; provided that: (i) each such one, two, three or six month period
occurring after such initial period shall commence on the day on which the next
preceding period expires; (ii) the final Interest Period shall be such that its
expiration occurs on or before the stated maturity date hereof; and (iii) if for
any reason the Borrower shall fail to select timely a period, then it shall be
deemed to have selected a one month period. Interest shall be payable on the
last banking day of each Interest Period, commencing on the first such date to
occur after the date hereof, at maturity, after maturity on demand, and on the
date of any payment hereon on the amount paid. The Borrower hereby further
promises to pay to the order of the Bank, on demand, interest on the unpaid
principal amount hereof after maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at
a rate of two per cent per annum in excess of the rate in effect at the time of
maturity.

     The Bank's determination of LIBOR as provided above shall be conclusive,
absent manifest error. Furthermore, if the Bank determines, in good faith (which
determination shall be conclusive, absent manifest error), prior to the
commencement of any Interest Period that (a) U.S. dollar deposits of sufficient
amount and maturity for funding any LIBOR Loan are not available to the Bank in
the London Interbank Eurodollar market in the ordinary course of business, or
(b) by reason of circumstances affecting the London Interbank Eurodollar market,
adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the rate of interest to be
applicable to the relevant LIBOR Loan, the

                                       3

<PAGE>

Bank shall promptly notify the Borrower and such LIBOR Loan shall automatically
convert on the last day of its then-current Interest Period to a loan bearing
interest at the Prime Rate.

     If, after the date hereof, the introduction of, or any change in any
applicable law, treaty, rule, regulation or guideline or in the interpretation
or administration thereof by any governmental authority or any central bank or
other fiscal, monetary or other authority having jurisdiction over the Bank or
its lending office (a "Regulatory Change"), shall, in the opinion of counsel to
the Bank, makes it unlawful for the Bank to make or maintain any LIBOR Loan
evidenced hereby, then the Bank shall promptly notify the Borrower and such
LIBOR Loan shall automatically convert on the last day of its then-current
Interest Period to a loan bearing interest at the Prime Rate.

     If, for any reason, any LIBOR Loan is paid prior to the last banking day of
its then-current Interest Period, the Borrower agrees to indemnify the Bank
against any loss (including any loss on redeployment of the funds repaid), cost
or expense incurred by the Bank as a result of such prepayment.

     If any Regulatory Change (whether or not having the force of law) shall (a)
impose, modify or deem applicable any assessment, reserve, special deposit or
similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of
or loans by, or any other acquisition of funds or disbursements by, the Bank;
(b) subject the Bank or any LIBOR Loan to any tax, duty, charge, stamp tax or
fee or change the basis of taxation of payments to the Bank of principal or
interest due from the Borrower to the Bank hereunder (other than a change in the
taxation of the overall net income of the Bank); or (c) impose on the Bank any
other condition regarding such LIBOR Loan or the Bank's funding thereof, and the
Bank shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive, absent manifest
error) that the result of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the Bank of
making or maintaining such LIBOR Loan or to reduce the amount of principal or
interest received by the bank hereunder, then the Borrower shall pay to the
Bank, on demand, such additional amounts as the Bank shall, from time to time,
determine are sufficient to compensate and indemnify the Bank for such increased
cost or reduced amount.

          (b)  Any amount of principal or interest on the Note which is not paid
when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise shall bear
interest payable on demand at an interest rate equal at all times to two percent
(2%) above the Interest Rate.

          (c)  If any payment to be made by the Borrower hereunder shall become
due on a Saturday, Sunday or banking holiday under the laws of the State of
Illinois, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding business day and
such extension of time shall be included in computing any interest in respect of
such payment.

     4.   Principal Prepayments.

     Prepayments of Prime Rate Loans are permitted at any time. Any prepayments
of LIBOR Loans shall be subject to the terms of Section 3(a), above.

     5.   Manner of Borrowing.

                                       4

<PAGE>

     Each Loan shall be made available to the Borrower upon its oral or written
request, from any person whose authority to so act has not been revoked by the
Borrower in writing previously received by the Bank. Each Loan may be advanced
either as a Prime Rate Loan or a LIBOR Loan, provided, however, that at any time
and from time to time, the Borrower may identify no more than ten (10) Loans
which may be LIBOR Loans. A request for a Prime Rate Loan must be (i) received
by no later than 11:00 a.m. Chicago, Illinois time, on the day it is to be
funded. A request for a LIBOR Loan must be (i) received by no later than 11:00
a.m. Chicago, Illinois time, three days before the day it is to be funded, and
(ii) in an amount equal to $1,000,000.00 or a higher integral multiple of
$1,000,000.00. If for any reason the Borrower shall fail to select timely an
Interest Period for an existing LIBOR Loan, then such LIBOR Loan shall be
immediately converted to a Prime Rate Loan on the last business day of the then
existing Interest Period, all without demand, presentment, protest or notice of
any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower. The proceeds of each
Prime Rate Loan or LIBOR Loan shall be made available at the office of the Bank
by credit to the account of the Borrower or by other means requested by the
Borrower and acceptable to the Bank.

     6.   Representations and Warranties.

     To induce the Bank to make the Loan provided for herein, the Borrower
represents and warrants as follows:

          (a)  The Borrower: (i) is a corporation duly organized and validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Kansas; (ii) is
duly qualified as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in all states in
which it is doing business except where the failure to so qualify would not have
a material adverse effect on the Borrower or its business; and (iii) has all
requisite power and authority, corporate or otherwise, to own, operate and lease
its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted. Each
Subsidiary is a banking corporation organized in the State set forth on Schedule
1 hereto, and has all requisite power and authority, corporate or otherwise, to
own, operate and lease its property and to carry on its business as now being
conducted. The Borrower and the Subsidiaries have made payment of all franchise
and similar taxes in all of the respective jurisdictions in which they are
incorporated or qualified, insofar as such taxes are due and payable at the date
of this Agreement, except for any such taxes the validity of which is being
contested in good faith and for which proper reserves have been set aside on the
books of the Borrower or the Subsidiaries, as the case may be.

          (b)  The Borrower is the direct or indirect owner of 100% of the
issued and outstanding capital stock of the Subsidiaries set forth in Schedule 1
hereto (the "Subsidiaries").

          (c)  The Subsidiary Shares have been duly authorized, legally and
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and are owned by the Borrower of
the Subsidiary Pledgor free and clear of all pledges, liens, security interests,
charges or encumbrances, except, upon consummation of the transactions
contemplated herein, for the security interests granted by the Borrower and the
Subsidiary Pledgor to the Bank. There are, as of the date hereof, no outstanding
options, rights or warrants obligating the Borrower or any Subsidiary to issue,
deliver or sell, or cause to be issued,

                                       5

<PAGE>

delivered or sold, additional shares of the capital stock of any Subsidiary or
obligating the Borrower or any Subsidiary to grant, extend or enter into any
such agreement or commitment.

          (d)  The financial statements of:

               (i)    the Borrower, all of which have heretofore been furnished
     to the Bank, have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
     accounting principles consistently applied ("GAAP") and maintained by the
     Borrower throughout the periods involved, and fairly present the financial
     condition of the Borrower individually and on a consolidated basis at such
     dates specified therein and the results of its operations for the periods
     then ended; and

               (ii)   the Subsidiaries, all of which have heretofore been
     furnished to the Bank, to the best knowledge of the Borrower have been
     prepared in accordance with GAAP and maintained by the Subsidiaries
     throughout the periods involved, and fairly present the financial condition
     of the Subsidiaries at such dates specified therein and the results of its
     operations for the periods then entered.

          (e)  To the best knowledge of the Borrower, since the latest date of
the financial statements referred to in Section 6(d) above, there have been no
material changes in the assets, liabilities, or condition, financial or
otherwise, of the Borrower or the Subsidiaries other than changes arising from
transactions in the ordinary course of business, and no such changes have been
materially adverse, whether in the ordinary course of business or otherwise. To
the best knowledge of the Borrower, neither the business nor the properties of
the Borrower or the Subsidiaries have been materially and adversely affected in
any way, including, without limitation, as a result of any fire, explosion,
accident, strike, lockout, labor dispute, flood, drought, embargo, imposition of
governmental restrictions, confiscation by a governmental agency or acts of God.

          (f)  There are no actions, suits, proceedings or written agreements
pending, nor to the best of the knowledge of the Borrower threatened or
proposed, against the Borrower or, to the best knowledge of the Borrower, the
Subsidiaries, at law or in equity or before or by any federal, state, municipal
or other governmental department, commission, board or other administrative
agency, domestic or foreign, which are of a material nature. Neither of the
Borrower nor, to the best knowledge of the Borrower, any Subsidiary is in
default with respect to any order, writ, injunction or decree of, or any written
agreement with, any court, commission, board or agency, domestic or foreign.

          (g)  All tax returns and reports of the Borrower and, to the best
knowledge of the Borrower, the Subsidiaries, required by law to be filed have
been duly filed, and all taxes, assessments, fees and other governmental charges
upon the Borrower and any Subsidiary or upon any of their properties or assets
which are due and payable have been paid, and the Borrower knows of no
additional assessment of a material nature against the Borrower or any
Subsidiary for taxes, or, except as disclosed on the financial statements
referred to in Section 6(d) above, of any basis for any such additional
assessment.

                                       6

<PAGE>

          (h)  The Borrower's primary business is that of a bank holding
company. All necessary regulatory approvals have been obtained for the Borrower
to conduct its business.

          (i)  The deposit accounts of the Subsidiaries are insured by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC").

          (j)  None of the Pledged Security constitutes margin stock, as defined
in Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("FRS").

          (k)  The Borrower and the Subsidiaries have reviewed the areas within
their business and operations which could be adversely affected by, and, if
applicable, have developed or are developing programs to address on a timely
basis, the "Year 2000 Problem" (i.e., the risk that computer applications used
by the Borrower or a Subsidiary may be unable to recognize and perform properly
date-sensitive functions involving certain dates prior to, and any date on or
after, December 31, 1999), and have made related appropriate inquiry of material
suppliers and vendors. Based on such review and programs, the Borrower believes
that the "Year 2000 Problem" will not have a material adverse effect on the
Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries or any of their operations or businesses.

     The foregoing representations and warranties shall survive the making of
this Agreement, and execution and delivery of the Note and the Pledge
Agreements, and shall be deemed to be continuing representations and warranties
until such time as the Borrower has satisfied all of its obligations to the
Bank; including, but not limited to the obligation to pay in full all principal,
interest and other amounts in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the
Note and the Pledge Agreements.

     7.   Negative Covenants.

     The Borrower agrees that until the Borrower satisfies all of its
obligations to the Bank; including, but not limited to its obligations to pay in
full all principal, interest and other amounts owing in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement, the Note and the Pledge Agreements, the Borrower shall
not, nor shall the Borrower cause, permit or allow any Subsidiary to:

          (a)  create, assume, incur, have outstanding, or in any manner become
liable in respect of any indebtedness for borrowed money, except in the case of
Borrower, secured indebtedness under Section 7(b)(vi), and, in the case of the
Subsidiaries, indebtedness incurred in the ordinary course of the business of
banking and in accordance with applicable laws and regulations and safe and
sound banking practices. For purposes of this Agreement, the phrase
"indebtedness" shall mean and include:

               (i)    all items arising from the borrowing of money, which
     according to generally accepted accounting principles now in effect, would
     be included in determining total liabilities as shown on the balance sheet;

                                       7

<PAGE>

               (ii)   all indebtedness secured by any lien in property owned by
     the Borrower whether or not such indebtedness shall have been assumed;

               (iii)  all guarantees and similar contingent liabilities in
     respect to indebtedness of others; and

               (iv)   all other interest-bearing obligations evidencing
     indebtedness in others;

          (b)  create, assume, incur, suffer or permit to exist any mortgage,
pledge, deed of trust, encumbrance (including the lien or retained security
title of a conditional vendor), security interest, assignment, lien or charge of
any kind or character upon or with respect to property whether owned at the date
hereof or hereafter acquired by the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or assign or
otherwise convey any right to receive income, except:

               (i)    liens for taxes, assessments or other governmental charges
     for the then current year or which are not yet due or delinquent;

               (ii)   liens for taxes, assessments or other governmental charges
     already due, but the validity of which is being contested in good faith in
     such a manner as not to make the property forfeitable;

               (iii)  liens and charges incidental to current operations which
     are not due or delinquent;

               (iv)   liens for workmen's compensation awards not due or
     delinquent;

               (v)    pledges or deposits to secure obligations under workmen's
     compensation laws or similar legislation;

               (vi)   purchase money mortgages or other liens on real property
     including those incurred for the construction of a banking facility, and
     bank furniture and fixtures acquired or held in the ordinary course of
     business to secure the purchase price of such property or to secure the
     indebtedness incurred solely for the purpose of financing the acquisition,
     construction or improvement of any such property to be subject to such
     mortgages or other liens, or mortgages or other liens existing on any such
     property at the time of acquisition, or extensions, renewals, or
     replacements of any of the foregoing for the same or a lesser amount;
     provided that no such mortgage or other liens shall extend to or cover any
     property other than the property being acquired, constructed or improved,
     and no such extension, renewal or replacement shall extend to or cover any
     property not theretofore subject to the mortgage or lien being extended,
     renewed or replaced, and provided further that no such mortgage or lien
     shall exceed 75% of the price of acquisition, construction or improvement
     at the time of acquisition, construction or improvement; and provided
     further that the aggregate principal amount of consolidated indebtedness at
     any one time outstanding and secured by mortgages, liens, conditional sale
     agreements and other security

                                       8

<PAGE>

     interests permitted by this clause (vi) shall not exceed 10% of the
     consolidated capital of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, as the case may be;

               (vii)  liens existing on the date hereof as shown on the
     financial statements; and

               (viii) in the case of the Subsidiaries, liens incurred in the
     ordinary course of the business of banking and in accordance with
     applicable laws and regulations and safe and sound banking practices;

          (c)  dispose by sale, assignment, lease or otherwise, property or
assets now owned or hereafter acquired, outside the ordinary course of business
in excess of 10% of its consolidated assets in any fiscal year;

          (d)  merge into or consolidate with or into any other person, firm or
corporation;

          (e)  make any loans or advances whether secured or unsecured to any

stated maturity.

     Upon the occurrence of a Default, the Bank shall have all rights and
remedies provided by applicable law and, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, may, at its option, declare its commitments to be terminated and the
Note shall thereupon be and become forthwith, due and payable, without any

interest hereunder when the same shall become due and payable, or fails to cure
any event of default within the time, if any, permitted
