a par value of $10.00 per share ("Common Stock") of which

5
Stock of First Muskogee as of the Closing is hereafter called
the "First Muskogee Common Stock".
1.2 BOKF is a bank holding company organized under the laws of
the State of Oklahoma. BOKF is subject to regulation by the
FRB. BOKF owns all of the capital stock of Mergercorp.
Mergercorp has not heretofore engaged in business, but has

Merger Agreement. The issued and outstanding capital stock of
Mergercorp consists solely of 1,000 shares of common stock,
par value of $1.00 per share (the "Mergercorp Shares").
1.3 The Principal Shareholders set forth on Exhibit 1.3 own not
less than fifty and one tenth percent (50.1%) of the First
Muskogee Common Stock.
1.4 The purpose of this Merger Agreement is to set forth the
terms and conditions on which First Muskogee and Mergercorp
shall merge. This Merger Agreement shall constitute a plan of
merger for corporate law purposes and for federal income tax
purposes under Section 368(a)(2)(D) of the Internal Revenue
Code.
1.5 BOKF owns all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of
Bank of Oklahoma, National Association ("BOk").
1.6 As used in this Merger Agreement, the term "Holders" includes
the Principal Shareholders and all other holders of First
Muskogee Common Stock, including all holders of Stock Options
(as hereafter defined) which are exercised prior to the
Closing or converted at the Closing.
2. THE MERGER. On the terms and conditions hereafter stated, First
Muskogee shall be merged into Mergercorp (the "Merger").
6
2.1 Mergercorp shall be the surviving corporation ("Surviving
Corporation").
2.2 The Certificate of Incorporation of Mergercorp shall be the
Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation
until changed as provided by law.
2.3 The Bylaws of Mergercorp shall be the Bylaws of the Surviving
Corporation until changed as provided by law.
2.4 The officers of Mergercorp shall be the officers of the

provided in Section 9).
2.7 Each share of First Muskogee Common Stock shall, subject to
the provisions of Section 1091 of the Oklahoma General
Corporation Act, automatically and without any action on the
part of the holder thereof, be converted into:
2.7.1 14.3089 shares (Conversion Ratio") of fully paid and
non- assessable shares of Common Stock, par value of
$0.0006 per share, of BOKF ("BOKF Common Stock");
provided, however, no fractional shares shall be
issued and, in lieu of any fractional share to which
any person or entity who or which is a record holder
of First Muskogee Common Stock is entitled, a full
share of BOKF Common Stock shall be issued; and,
7
2.7.2 Each Holder shall have the right to receive, upon
termination of the BOKF Common Stock Escrow (as
hereafter defined in Section 13), his or her share
of the Escrow Shares (as hereafter defined)
distributable to Holders upon termination of the
BOKF Common Stock Escrow.
2.8 The shares of BOKF Common Stock issued in accordance with
Section 2.7 and Section 2.9 are hereafter collectively called
the "BOKF Shares".
2.9 Each stock option to buy one share of First Muskogee Common
Stock described in Exhibit 2.9 which remains outstanding at
the Closing (collectively, the "Stock Options") shall
automatically and without any action on the part of the
holders of the Stock Options be converted (without the
payment of the Option Price) into 10.6596 shares of BOKF
Common Stock; provided, however, no fractional shares shall
be issued and, in lieu of any fractional share to which any
person who is a record holder of Stock Options is entitled, a
full share of BOKF Common Stock shall be issued.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if permitted by the accounting
rules pertaining to accounting for the Merger as a pooling of
interest under A.P.B. 16 (as determined by the opinion
described in Section 7.5), each Stock Option to buy one share
of First Muskogee Common Stock which remains outstanding at
the Closing shall automatically and without any action on the
part of the holders of the Stock Options be converted
(without the payment of the Option Price) into 6.8221 shares
of BOKF Common Stock and BOKF shall, in respect of each such
Stock Option, withhold and pay over in lieu of any other
withholding $181.32 to the Internal Revenue Service for the
account of the holder of such Stock Option; provided,
however, no fractional
8
shares shall be issued and, in lieu of any fractional share
to which any person who is a record holder of Stock Options
is entitled, a full share of BOKF Common Stock shall be
issued. If any of the Stock Options terminate without being
exercised, the Conversion ratio and the conversion factor for
the Stock Options shall be recalculated by mutual agreement
of BOKF and First Muskogee to accomplish the intention of the
parties.
2.10 A portion of the BOKF Common Stock issuable to Holders of
First Muskogee Common Stock and Stock Options will be
delivered to the BOKF Common Stock Escrow (as defined in
Section 13) (the "Escrow Shares"). The Escrow Shares shall
consist of a total number of shares of BOKF Common Stock
having a market value on the Closing date of $1 million
(determined in the manner provided in Section 13.6), adjusted
for any rounding requirements. The number of shares of BOKF
Common Stock deliverable into escrow shall be prorated
between the holders of First Muskogee Common Stock
outstanding on the Closing Date (excluding any dissenting
shares) (based on the number of shares of First Muskogee
Common Stock owned by each Holder) and the holders of Stock
Options at the Closing date (based on the number of shares of
First muskogee Common Stock the optionee would have received
had the option been exercised in full prior to the closing),
rounded in the case of each Holder up to the nearest whole
share.

BOKF shall make available to Holders such number of
prospectus as Agent may reasonably request.
10.2.4 BOKF shall submit all registration documents to
Agent, reasonably in advance of filing or finalizing
such documents and shall receive, consider and
accept or reject (in BOKF's reasonable discretion)
such comments as Agent shall timely make. BOKF shall
file the registration statement in accordance with
all applicable laws.
10.2.5 BOKF represents and warrants that the registration
statement (including any prospectus) will (i)
contain all statements respecting BOKF (and its
subsidiaries) which are required to be stated
therein in accordance with the Securities Act of
1933 and the Blue Sky Acts, (ii) conform in all
material respects with the applicable requirements
of such acts, and (iii) will not contain any untrue
statement of a material fact concerning BOKF (and
its subsidiaries), or fail to state any material
fact necessary to make the statements therein
concerning BOKF (and its subsidiaries) not
misleading.
10.2.6 Agent shall cooperate with BOKF in the registration
as may be appropriate.
45
10.2.7 BOKF shall keep Agent reasonably advised of the
status of the registration including any
underwriting agreements into which BOKF may enter as
hereafter provided.
10.2.8 Except for the Holders Registration and the
Underwritten Registration, BOKF shall have no
obligation to register the BOKF Shares.
10.2.9 In the Underwritten Registration, BOKF may combine
the registration of the BOKF Shares issued by BOKF
with shares of BOKF Common Stock held by others,
including affiliates of BOKF. BOKF shall notify
Agent reasonably in advance of its intention to file
the Underwritten Registration and, in the event the
Agent so requests, shall combine the registration of
the BOKF Shares (or such number of BOKF Shares as
the Agent may request) with the other shares of BOKF
Common Stock being offered (whether to be issued by
BOKF or sold for the account of others including
affiliates of BOKF). In the event some or all of the
BOKF Shares are offered in the Underwritten
Registration, (i) such BOKF Shares shall be offered
for sale pursuant to such underwriting agreements
(and the terms and provisions thereof, including
such allocations among selling shareholders) as BOKF
shall in good faith enter with underwriters and (ii)
the Holders offering such
46
BOKF Shares shall pay their proportionate share of
any selling or underwriting fees and commissions
incurred in connection with an Underwritten
Registration.
10.2.10 Upon at least three (3) business days prior written
notice by BOKF given to the Agent specifying a
ninety (90) calendar day period commencing in 1999
(the "Lockup Period") those Holders owning more than
2,000 shares of First Muskogee Common Stock as of
the date hereof ("Lockup Shareholders") shall not
offer or sell BOKF Shares pursuant to the Holders'
Registration during the Lockup Period, except in
non-NASDAQ privately negotiated transactions.
47
10.2.11 If at any time, BOKF has material information not
publicly disclosed which, under the applicable
regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission precludes the sale of BOKF Shares without
an effective amendment to the registration
statement: 10.2.11.1 BOKF shall promptly advise
Agent and Agent shall advise Holders to cease
effecting sales of the BOKF Shares until an
appropriate amendment becomes effective;
10.2.11.2 BOKF shall withhold such information from
the public for only the reasonable period
of time a valid reason for such non-
disclosure exists; and,
10.2.11.3 BOKF shall promptly file an appropriate
amendment and use its best efforts to
cause the amendment to become effective
on the same terms and conditions as
provided above for the registration
statement.
10.2.11.4 BOKF shall use its best efforts to
maintain the effectiveness of the
48
registration statement for a period of
time from the effectiveness of the
Holders' Registration until the
expiration of two years following the
Closing.
10.2.11.5 BOKF shall amend or supplement the
registration statement at the request of
Holders' Agent to name any donee or
pledgee as a selling shareholder.
10.2.12 Each Holder offering BOKF Shares for sale pursuant
to the registration shall indemnify BOKF, its
directors and officers and each person controlling
BOKF for any costs or expenses incurred by it or
them for any material breach of Holders' agreements
under this Section and in respect of any untrue
statement of a material fact contained in the
registration statement or any omission to state
therein a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading but only to the extent that such
untrue statement or omission is made in such
registration statement in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished to
BOKF by or on behalf of such Holder for use in the
preparation of such registration statement or
prospectus included
49
therein. BOKF will indemnify each Holder for any
costs or expenses incurred by the Holder for any
material breach of BOKF's agreements under this
Section or non-compliance with law in respect of
this Section and/or in respect of any untrue
statement of a material fact contained in the
registration statement or any omission to state
therein a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading, provided that BOKF will not be
liable in any such case to the extent that any such
cost or expense arises out of or is based upon any
untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon
and in conformity with written information furnished
to BOKF by or on behalf of such Shareholder for use
in the preparation of such registration statement or
prospectus therein.
10.2.13 BOKF shall, from the date of the issuance of the
BOKF Shares until the second anniversary of such
issuance, maintain its eligibility to use SEC Form
S-3 or its equivalent.
10.2.14 The representations and warranties made in this
Section shall survive for the maximum periods
permitted by applicable law.
10.2.15 The provisions of this Section 10 are for the
express benefit of each of the Holders, but the
Holders shall only
50
be permitted to enforce this Section by action taken
solely by Agent on behalf of all Holders determined
by the vote of a majority in interest.
10.3 RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER. Each BOKF Share shall be issued
subject to the following restrictions:
10.3.1 No BOKF Share issued to a person whom BOKF in the
exercise of its sole discretion (provided only such
discretion is exercised in good faith) determines is
an affiliate within the meaning of SEC Rule 405
(each herein called an "Affiliate Share") may be
sold or otherwise transferred until BOKF shall have
published financial statements which reflect at
least one month's combined operations subsequent to
the Closing.
10.3.2 Each certificate representing an Affiliate Share
shall bear a restrictive legend evidencing the
restriction described in the preceding subsection.
10.3.3 Each certificate representing an Affiliate Share
shall bear a usual and customary private placement
restricted stock legend in addition to the legend
described in the preceding subsection and shall be
subject to stop transfer orders (as reasonably
required); provided, however, at such time as BOKF
shall have published financial statements which
reflect at least one month's combined operations
subsequent to the Closing, and upon the
effectiveness of
51
the Holders' Registration or upon receipt of an
opinion of counsel that a proposed sale or other
transfer of a specified number of shares of BOKF
Common Stock will comply with or be exempt from the
Securities Act of 1933, BOKF shall as promptly as
practicable after receipt of the stock certificates
representing such Affiliate Shares (and, in any
event, within seven business days after such
receipt) direct BOKF's transfer agent to remove the
stop transfer order and reissue a stock certificate
evidencing such Affiliate Shares without any
restrictive legend.
10.3.4 First Muskogee shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to obtain agreements from its affiliates
acknowledging that the BOKF Shares are subject to
the provisions of this Section 10.
10.3.5 All certificates representing BOKF Shares shall bear
a private placement restrictive legend and the
Holders thereof shall not be entitled to sell or
transfer any such BOKF Shares except pursuant to the
Holders Registration, the Underwritten Registration,
or an opinion of counsel to BOKF (which opinion
shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or
denied) that the transaction is exempt from
registration pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933
and any applicable Blue Sky Acts.
10.3.6 All certificates representing BOKF Shares issued in
respect
52
of shares of First Muskogee Common Stock held by a
Lockup Shareholder as of the date hereof shall bear
a restrictive legend.
11. FIRST MUSKOGEE TERMINATION DAMAGES. In the event this Agreement is not
consummated by reason of a failure of one or more of the conditions
precedent set forth in Sections 7.5, 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4 or 8.5 through
no fault of First Muskogee, then BOKF shall promptly pay First Muskogee
the sum of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) as an amount to compensate
First Muskogee for damages, and not as a penalty, arising from or in
connection with such termination and failure to consummate the Merger,
which amount BOKF and First Muskogee agree would be very difficult to
determine and which agreed amount BOKF and First Muskogee agree is fair
and reasonable.
12. BOKF TERMINATION DAMAGES. In the event this Agreement is not
consummated by reason of a failure of one or more of the conditions
precedent set forth in Sections 7.1, 7.2 (but only in the event such
condition fails because of a breach by First Muskogee or First Muskogee
Bancshares of a promise, covenant, representation or warranty set forth
in this Merger Agreement), 7.3, 7.4, 7.6, 7.7, and 7.8 through no fault
of BOKF, then First Muskogee shall promptly pay BOKF the sum of Two
Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) as an amount to compensate
BOKF for damages, and not as a penalty, arising from or in connection
with such termination and failure to consummate the Merger, which
amount BOKF and First Muskogee agree would be very difficult to
determine and which agreed amount BOKF and First Muskogee agree is fair
and reasonable.
13. THE BOKF COMMON STOCK ESCROW. The BOKF Common Stock Escrow shall be
established on the following terms and conditions:
13.1 The escrow agent shall be BOk ("Escrow Agent").
53
13.2 The BOKF Common Stock Escrow shall be governed by the
standard form of escrow agreement generally in use by BOk
(the "Escrow Agreement").
13.3 BOKF shall deliver the Escrow Shares to the Escrow Agent at
the Closing.
13.4 In the event BOKF claims a breach of the representations and
warranties of First Muskogee and First Muskogee Bank arising
under this Merger Agreement, BOKF shall give notice of the
claim to the Agent (a "Claim"). The notice shall identify the
representations and warranties which BOKF claims have been
breached and describe in reasonable detail the basis of the
Claim.
13.5 In the event BOKF makes a Claim(s) prior to the Claim Notice
Deadline, the Escrow Agent shall continue to hold the Escrow
Shares until such Claim(s) is resolved by (i) the mutual
agreement of Agent and BOKF or (ii) a final adjudication
determining the merits of the Claim(s), at which time the
Escrow shall terminate and the Escrow Agent shall pay (a
"Claim Payment") the Claim as mutually agreed or finally
adjudicated (an "Allowed Claim"); provided, however, Allowed
Claims shall be paid only to the extent the total of all
Allowed Claims exceeds $100,000.
13.6 A Claim Payment shall be made by the delivery to BOKF of that
number of Escrow Shares determined by dividing the amount of
the Allowed Claim by an amount equal to the average of the
mid-points between the highest price and the lowest price at
which trades occurred (or, in the event of a single trade,
the price of such trade) for BOKF Common Stock on NASDAQ on
the five (5) trading days on which at least one trade
actually occurs immediately preceding the Closing.
54
13.7 The Escrow shall terminate at the later of the Claim Notice
Deadline or the date on which all timely noticed Claims have
been resolved by mutual agreement or final adjudication and
all Allowed Claims, if any, shall have been paid.
13.8 Upon termination of the Escrow all Escrow Shares remaining in
the Escrow shall be delivered to Holders in the same
proportion as the shares were deposited in the Escrow.
13.9 The rights of the Holders to receive BOKF Shares from the
Escrow shall not be assignable or transferable except by
operation of law or by intestacy or with the approval of BOKF
(which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed,
or denied) and will not be evidenced by any certificate or
other evidence of ownership.
13.10 BOKF shall pay the fees and costs of the Escrow Agent with
respect to the Escrow.
13.11 The cost, if any, to First Muskogee and First Muskogee Bank
of terminating the ITI-Unisys Contract shall be an Allowed
Claim.

AGREEMENT NOT TO COMPETE
This Agreement Not to Compete ("Agreement") is made effective as of
_____________, 199___ (the "Effective Date") between:
(i) _____________________ ("Principal"); and,
(ii) BOK Financial Corporation ("BOKF").
In consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, the adequacy
of which is hereby expressly acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound
hereby, Principal and BOKF agree as follows:
(1) PURPOSE OF THIS AGREEMENT NOT TO COMPETE. Principal is a key
officer or director and shareholder of First Muskogee and/or First
Muskogee Bank. The shareholders of First Muskogee and First
Muskogee Bank and BOKF are contemporaneously herewith entering
into that certain Merger Agreement dated effective as of
______________, 1998 to which reference is hereby made (the
"Merger Agreement"). The Merger Agreement constitutes the sale of
the goodwill of the business of First Muskogee and First Muskogee
Bank to BOKF. Principal acknowledges that competition by Principal
with BOKF would damage the goodwill being sold by Principal. The
purpose of this agreement is to set forth the terms and conditions
on which Principal agrees not to compete with BOKF. The defined
terms set forth herein shall have the meanings set forth in the
Merger Agreement.
(2) Principal hereby agrees that, from and after the Closing for one
year following the closing, Principal shall not directly or
indirectly (whether as an officer, director, employee, partner,
stockholder, creditor or agent or representative of other persons
or entities or in any other manner) engage in the banking business
in Muskogee County, State of Oklahoma or any county contiguous
thereto or in such other area where First Muskogee or First
