day of November, 2003 (the "Agreement Date") between the following parties (the
"Parties"):
i. Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, an individual residing in Tulsa, Oklahoma
("Executive"); and,
ii. BOK Financial Corporation, an Oklahoma corporation ("BOKF").
The Executive and BOKF, in exchange for the promises hereafter set forth
and other good and valuable consideration (the receipt and adequacy of which the
Parties hereby acknowledge), and intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as
follows:
1) Purpose of This Agreement. The purpose of this Agreement is as follows:
a) Executive is employed by BOKF as its Senior Executive Vice President.
b) Executive may hereafter be issued performance or restricted shares (as
provided, from time to time, in the BOKF Executive Compensation Plans)
and/or awarded options (the "Options") to acquire Common Stock of BOKF
and has heretofore been awarded options which, as of the Agreement
Date, have not been exercised, 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"). Executive may hereafter be issued a
bonus in the amount of $300,000 pursuant to Paragraphs 3(c)(ii)(A) and
(B) of that certain Employment Agreement dated August 29, 2003
(collectively, the "Deferred Bonus").
c) This Agreement in entered into in order to permit Executive to defer
the receipt of all or a portion of the Shares otherwise payable to
Executive upon the exercise of Options or the vesting of performance
shares or restricted shares issued to Executive.
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 or the vesting of performance shares or restricted shares.
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, 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").
b) The Notice shall set forth:
2
i) the name of the BOKF Stock Option Plan pursuant to which the
Options were awarded, the date on which the Options were awarded
(the "Stock 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; and
iii) whether the deferred 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.
f) The Executive hereby irrevocably elects to defer Fifty Thousand
($50,000) of the Deferred Bonus due pursuant to Paragraph 3(c)(ii)(A)
of that certain Employment Agreement dated August 29, 2003 and
designates November 30, 2009 as the Deferral Date. The Executive shall
timely pay all FICA taxes due in respect of the Deferred Bonus in
cash.
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 and/or performance
shares and restricted shares which Executive has elected to
defer. The Executive shall pay any FICA taxes that may be due
in one or the other of the following ways:
(1) Executive shall pay FICA in cash; or,
(2) 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.
3
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.
d) The Special Account shall reflect the Deferred Bonus upon payment
thereof.
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.
4
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
5
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.
