as set forth on Schedule 1 hereto (such performance shares,
restricted shares, and shares of Common Stock of BOKF issued upon
exercise of the Options, being hereinafter collectively called the
"Shares").
b) Executive may hereafter be issued an annual incentive bonus in
respect of calendar year 2004, payable in March 2005 pursuant to
the BOKF Executive Compensation Plan (the "2004 Annual Bonus").
c) This Agreement in entered into in order to permit Executive to

d) This Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions on which
Executive may defer the receipt of Shares pursuant to the exercise
of the Options, the vesting of performance shares or restricted
shares, and/or the receipt of the 2004 Annual Bonus.
2) Election to Defer Receipt of Shares. The Executive may, at the
sole and absolute discretion of the Executive (without any
obligation to provide an explanation for the exercise of such
discretion), elect to defer the receipt of Shares upon exercise of
Options or the vesting of performance or restricted shares, on the
following terms and conditions:
a) Executive shall:
i) , not less than six months prior to the vesting of performance
shares or restricted shares or the intended date of exercise of
any of the Options, as applicable, give written notice (the
"Notice") to BOKF that Executive elects to defer the receipt of
Shares or the vesting of performance or restricted shares (the
"Election"); and/or,
ii) on or before September 30, 2004, give written notice (also called
a "Notice") to BOKF that Executive elects to defer receipt of some
or all of the 2004 Annual Bonus (also called an "Election").
Each Notice shall set forth:
i) the name of the BOKF Stock Option Plan pursuant to which the Options

Option Award Date"), the number of Shares under option to be exercised;
ii) the number of Shares which are performance shares or restricted shares
which Executive elects to defer;
iii) the amount of 2004 Annual Bonus which the Executive elects to defer;
and,
iv) whether the deferral shall be until retirement or until a date, not
earlier than five years from the Notice, which executive shall specify
in the Notice (the "Deferral Date").
c) Executive agrees to use shares of BOKF Common Stock previously owned by
him for at least six months to satisfy the exercise price of the
Options, rather than the cash or broker assisted exercise methods.
d) In the event Executive elects to defer the vesting of performance
shares or restricted shares, the Executive shall assign and deliver
such shares to BOKF together with the Notice of deferral.
e) The Election shall be irrevocable.
3) Special BOKF Liability Account.
a) Upon the exercise of an Option for which an Election has previously
been made by the Executive pursuant to Section 2 and/or the deferral of
vesting of Shares which are restricted shares or performance shares
assigned and delivered to BOKF in accordance with Section 2(d), BOKF
shall establish a special BOKF Liability Account ("Special Account").
i) The Special Account shall reflect the number of BOKF Shares for which
Options were exercised by the Executive, the number of BOKF Shares
which are performance shares and restricted shares, and the amount of
2004 Annual Bonus, which Executive has elected to defer. The Executive
shall pay an FICA taxes that may be due in one or the other of the
following ways:
(1) Executive shall pay FICA in cash; or,
(2) In the case of the deferral of BOKF Shares, the Special Account shall
be debited that amount of BOKF Shares necessary to pay FICA. Executive
acknowledges that, in the event, Executive elects the provision of this
sub-paragraph (2), the value of the debited shares shall not be
deferred under this Agreement and shall be taxable income to the
Executive, subject to federal and state income tax and withholding.
ii) BOKF shall periodically (but not less than once each calendar quarter)
report the number of BOKF Shares reflected in the Special Account and
related current value of such BOKF Shares to Executive.
iii) The Special Account shall be for bookkeeping purposes only.
iv) The Executive shall not, in fact, own the BOKF Shares reflected in the
Special Account.
b) If there are any changes in the capitalization of BOKF (or of any
Alternative Investment, as hereafter defined) affecting the number or
kind (after the recapitalization) of issued and outstanding shares of
BOKF Common Stock (or the shares of any Alternative Investment)
existing immediately prior to the change in capitalization, whether
such changes have been occasioned by reorganization, combination of
shares, declaration of stock dividends, stock splits, reverse stock
splits, reclassification or recapitalization of such stock, the merger
or consolidation of BOKF (or any Alternative Investment) with some
other corporation or other similar transaction, then the number and
kind of shares reflected in the Special Account shall be appropriately
adjusted to reflect the number and kind of shares the Executive would
have owned had the Executive actually owned the BOKF Shares (or shares
of Alternative Investment) reflected in the Special Account on the
date of such changes.
c) On the Distribution Date described in section 5, BOKF shall:
i) distribute BOKF Shares (newly issued or held in Treasury) to the
Executive equal to the number of BOKF Shares reflected in the Special
Account (net of that number of BOKF shares equal to the applicable
Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA), federal and state taxes
required to be withheld, determined on the basis of the fair market
value of such BOKF Shares on the Distribution Date); and,
ii) eliminate the Special Account.
4) Special Diversified Liability Account.
a) At any time after the exercise of an Option as described in Section 2
and before the Distribution Date but no more than once each calendar
quarter, the Executive may elect to convert (the "Conversion") all or a
portion of the value of the Special Account into a credit value in the
Special Account equal to the value so converted (less applicable FICA
taxes). The converted value ("Converted Value") shall be represented by
one or more Alternative Investments (as hereafter defined) selected by
Executive.
b) As a condition of a Conversion, the Executive shall select one or more
of the investment opportunities listed in Appendix A of this Agreement
(the "Alternative Investments") to measure the value of the Special
Account as if such converted Special Account value had actually been
invested in such Alternative Investments.
c) After one or more Conversions:
i) The Special Account shall reflect the BOKF Shares and Alternative
Investments remaining after each such Conversion and the value thereof
from time to time.
ii) BOKF shall periodically (but not less than once each calendar quarter)
report the BOKF Shares and Alternative Investments reflected in the
Special Account and related current value thereof to Executive.
iii) The Special Account shall be for bookkeeping purposes only.
iv) The Executive shall not own the BOKF Shares or Alternative Investments
reflected in the Special Account and shall have no right to ownership
or possession thereof.
v) BOKF may from time to time amend Exhibit A by adding additional
investment opportunities to, but not deleting investment opportunities
from, the list contained in Appendix A.
5) Distribution Date and Distribution.
a) The Distribution Date for the Special Account shall be a date selected
by BOKF between January 15 and March 1 of the year next following the
year in which the Executive retires from BOKF, his employment with BOKF
is terminated for whatever reason or the Deferral Date; provided,
however:
i) In the event the Executive dies prior to retiring from BOKF or prior to
his employment with BOKF having terminated for whatever reason, the
Distribution Date shall be a date selected by BOKF not later than 90
calendar days following the date of death; and,
ii) The Executive may, at any time and from time to time (but not more
frequently than once each calendar quarter), accelerate the
Distribution Date with respect to the value of some or all of the BOKF
Shares and/or with respect to one or more Alternative Investments
reflected in the Special Account to a date no earlier than ten (10)
business days after written notice to BOKF requesting such accelerated
Distribution Date provided Executive agrees in such notice to an
irrevocable forfeiture of ten per cent (10%) of the value which
Executive has requested be distributed (the "Forfeiture"). All
Forfeitures shall be debited to the Special Account and allocated
among BOKF Shares and/or Alternative Investments reflected in the
Special Account in such manner as BOKF shall in its discretion
determine.
b) On the Distribution Date (whether accelerated or otherwise), the
Company shall:
i) Pay the value of the Special Account (or so much thereof as Executive
may have requested be accelerated) on the Distribution Date (net of
applicable federal and state taxes required to be withheld and less any
Forfeiture) to Executive in cash, BOKF Shares, Alternative Investments
or a combination thereof, in sole the discretion of BOKF; and,
ii) eliminate the Special Account (or so much thereof as Executive may have
requested be accelerated).
c) In the event of the death of the Executive, the distribution provided
in the preceding subsection shall be made to the beneficiary or
beneficiaries previously designated by the Executive in a writing filed
with the Secretary of BOKF or, in the absence of such designation, as
provided by Executive in any trust or will and, in the absence of any
such trust or will, to Executive's estate.
6) No Executive Interest in Any BOKF Assets.
a) BOKF shall have no obligation to actually hold BOKF Shares reflected in
the Special Account or invest funds in any Alternative Investment
selected by Executive.
b) If BOKF, in its sole discretion, actually holds BOKF Shares reflected
in the Special Account or invests BOKF funds in Alternative
Investments, the Executive shall have no right or interest therein.
c) The Executive shall have the right under this Agreement only to the
payment in cash of an amount measured by reference to the values of
BOKF Shares and Alternative Investments reflected in the Special
Account (the "Reference Values"). Such contractual right of the
Executive constitutes the Executive a general unsecured creditor of
BOKF.
d) BOKF may satisfy its obligation to pay the Referenced Values by making
payment in cash or by the delivery of the BOKF Shares and/or
Alternative Investments by which the Reference Values are determined.
7) No Enlargement of Employment Rights. Nothing contained in this
Agreement shall (i) give or be construed as giving the Executive the
right to be retained in the service of BOKF or (ii) modify or be
construed as modifying the terms and conditions of employment of
Executive with BOKF.
8) Indemnification. Executive hereby agrees to defend and indemnify BOKF,
and hold BOKF harmless from, all claims of third parties arising out of
the operations of any Alternative Investment selected by Executive that
BOKF may actually acquire. BOKF shall not be responsible for any
decline in value of the Shares or of any Alternative Investment.
9) Termination of this Agreement. This Agreement shall remain in full
force and effect from the Agreement Date until Executive's retirement
or termination; provided, however, either BOKF or Executive may
terminate the provisions of Section 2 hereof by notice given on or
before November 1 of any year in which event such termination shall be
effective as of January 1 immediately following such notice; provided,
further, no such termination shall effect the time at which any
distribution shall be made to Executive.
