its principal offices in Tulsa, Oklahoma ("BOKF"), and First TexCorp, Inc., a
Texas corporation and registered bank holding company with its principal offices
in Dallas, Texas ("FTC").
W I T N E S S E T H:
-------------------
WHEREAS, FTC owns all of the stock of First Texas Bank, Dallas, Texas, a
Texas banking association (the "Bank");
WHEREAS, BOKF desires to acquire all of the issued and outstanding stock
of FTC through the merger of BOKF Merger Corporation Number Six, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of BOKF ("BOKSub") with and into FTC (the "Merger");
WHEREAS, BOKF and FTC believe that the Merger, as provided for and subject
to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and all exhibits,
schedules and supplements hereto, is in the best interests of BOKF, FTC and
their respective shareholders;
WHEREAS, BOKF and FTC desire to set forth certain representations,
warranties and covenants made by each to the other as an inducement to the
execution and delivery of this Agreement and certain additional agreements
related to the transactions contemplated hereby; and
WHEREAS, the respective boards of directors of BOKF and FTC have approved
this Agreement and the proposed transactions substantially on the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the foregoing and of the
mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this
Agreement, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and subject to the conditions set
forth below, BOKF and FTC undertake, promise, covenant and agree with each other
as follows:
ARTICLE I.
ACQUISITION OF FTC BY BOKF
SECTION 1.01 Merger of BOKSub with and into FTC. Subject to the terms
----------------------------------
and conditions of this Agreement and the Agreement and Plan of Merger to be
entered into between FTC and BOKSub (the "Merger Agreement"), attached hereto as
Exhibit "A", BOKF shall cause BOKSub to be merged with and into FTC pursuant to
-----------
the provisions of Part Five of the Texas Business Corporation Act (the "TBCA")
and with the effect provided in Article 5.06 of the TBCA.
SECTION 1.02 Effects of the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects
---------------------
set forth in Article 5.06 of the TBCA. Following the Merger, FTC shall continue
as the corporation resulting from the Merger (the "Resulting Corporation"), and
the separate corporate existence of BOKSub shall cease. The name of the
Resulting Corporation shall be "First TexCorp, Inc." The existing offices and
facilities of FTC immediately preceding the Merger shall be the principal
offices and facilities of the Resulting Corporation following the Merger. At
the Effective Date (defined below in Section 2.05), all rights, title and
interests to all real estate and other property owned by each of BOKSub and FTC
shall be allocated to and vested in the Resulting Corporation without reversion
or impairment, without further act or deed, and without any transfer or
assignment having occurred, but subject to any existing liens or encumbrances
thereon. At the Effective Date, all liabilities and obligations of BOKSub and
FTC shall be allocated to the Resulting Corporation, and the Resulting
Corporation shall be the primary obligor therefor and no other party to the
Merger shall be liable therefor. At the Effective Date, a proceeding pending by
or against either BOKSub or FTC may be continued as if the Merger did not occur,
or the Resulting Corporation may be substituted in the proceedings.
SECTION 1.03 Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws. The Articles of
------------------------------------
Incorporation and Bylaws, respectively, of the Resulting Corporation shall be as
set forth in the Merger Agreement.
SECTION 1.04 Directors and Officers. The directors and officers,
----------------------
respectively, of the Resulting Corporation shall be as set forth in the Merger
Agreement.
SECTION 1.05 Conversion of the FTC Stock. At the Effective Date by
---------------------------
virtue of this Agreement and without any further action on the part of any
holder,
A. The holders as of the Effective Date (the "FTC Shareholders") of
the common stock of FTC, par value $4.00 per share (the "FTC Stock"), shall
collectively be entitled to receive from BOKF the consideration described
in Sections 1.05B, 1.05C, 1.05D and 1.05E below (collectively, the "Merger
Consideration").
B. As of the Effective Date, the FTC Shareholders shall receive an
aggregate purchase price of $36,700,000 (the "Cash Consideration"),
provided that (i) if the Merger is not consummated by (a) March 4, 1997, if
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal
Reserve") permits the consummation of the Merger on the fifteenth day
following approval of the Merger by the Federal Reserve or (b) March 19,
1997, if the Federal Reserve permits consummation of the Merger on the
thirtieth day following approval of the Merger, the Cash Consideration
will, unless the failure to consummate the Merger by such date results from
a failure of the FTC Stockholders to approve the Merger by such date,
increase by $10,000 per day between March 4, 1997 or March 19, 1997, as the
case may be, and the Effective Date and (ii) the Cash Consideration shall
decrease by an amount equal to the FTC Expenses (as such term is defined in
Section 11.02) plus the amount of the Excess Indebtedness (as defined in
Section 8.07). The Cash Consideration divided by the number of shares of
the FTC Stock outstanding on the Effective Date is referred to herein as
the "Per Share Cash Consideration." On the Effective Date, each holder of
the FTC Stock shall be entitled to receive the Per Share Cash Consideration
for each share of FTC Stock such holder owns on the Effective Date.
2
C. As of the date of termination of the Representations Escrow
Agreement (as defined in Section 12.01), the FTC Shareholders shall receive
an aggregate amount equal to the Representations Escrow Funds (as defined
in Section 12.01). The Representations Escrow Funds divided by the number
of shares of FTC Stock outstanding on the Effective Date is referred to
herein as the "Per Share Representations Escrow Consideration". Upon the
termination of the Representations Escrow Agreement, each holder of the FTC
Stock as of the Effective Date shall be entitled to receive the Per Share
Representations Escrow Consideration for each share of FTC Stock such
holder owns on the Effective Date.
D. As of the date of termination of the Deposits Escrow Agreement
(as defined in Section 12.02), the FTC Shareholders shall receive an
aggregate amount equal to the Deposits Escrow Funds (as defined in Section
12.02). The Deposits Escrow Funds divided by the number of shares of FTC
Stock outstanding on the Effective Date is referred to herein as the "Per
Share Deposits Escrow Consideration". Upon the termination of the Deposits
Escrow Agreement, each holder of the FTC Stock as of the Effective Date
shall be entitled to receive the Per Share Deposits Escrow Consideration
for each share of FTC Stock such holder owns on the Effective Date.
E. As of the termination of the ESI/DDI Escrow Agreement (as defined
in Section 12.03), the FTC Shareholders shall receive an aggregate amount
equal to the ESI/DDI Escrow Funds (as defined in Section 12.03). The
ESI/DDI Escrow Funds divided by the number of shares of FTC Stock
outstanding on the Effective Date is referred to herein as the "Per Share
ESI/DDI Escrow Consideration". Upon the termination of the ESI/DDI Escrow
Agreement, each holder of the FTC Stock as of the Effective Date shall be
entitled to receive the Per Share ESI/DDI Escrow Consideration for each
share of FTC Stock such holder owns on the Effective Date.
F. The number of shares of common stock of BOKSub (the "BOKSub
Stock") outstanding at the Effective Date shall, at the Effective Date and
by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of BOKF or any
other party as holder thereof, be converted into a like number of shares of
common stock of the Resulting Corporation with a par value of $1.00 per
share, with the effect that the number of shares of the common stock of the
Resulting Corporation outstanding immediately after the Effective Date
shall be equal to the aggregate number of shares of BOKSub Stock
outstanding immediately before the Effective Date. The authorized number
of shares of common stock of the Resulting Corporation shall be the same as
the authorized number of shares of BOKSub Stock immediately prior to the
Effective Date.
G. The Per Share Cash Consideration, the Per Share Representations
Escrow Consideration, and the Per Share Deposits Escrow Consideration are
hereafter collectively referred to as the "Per Share Merger Consideration."
As of the Effective Date, each share of the FTC Stock issued and
outstanding at the Effective Date shall, by operation of law and without
any action on the part of the holder thereof, unless dissenters' rights
under applicable law are being perfected with respect thereto, be converted
into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration.
3
H. On or following the Effective Date, each holder of the FTC Stock
shall be required to surrender, in accordance with Section 1.07, its shares
of FTC Stock to FTC, which shall act as exchange agent (the "Exchange
Agent"), and upon such surrender, each such holder shall be entitled to
receive from BOKF within three (3) business days thereafter, an amount of
cash as determined pursuant to Section 1.05B. Until so surrendered, each
such outstanding certificate representing shares of FTC Stock shall be
deemed for all purposes, subject only to dissenters' rights under
applicable law, to evidence solely the right to receive from BOKF the Per
Share Merger Consideration multiplied by the number of shares represented
by such certificate.
SECTION 1.06 Shareholders' Meeting. FTC, acting through its Board of
---------------------
Directors, shall, in accordance with applicable law:
A. Duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its
shareholders (the "Shareholders' Meeting") as soon as practicable for the
purpose of approving and adopting the Merger and the Merger Agreement and
the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby;
B. Require no greater than the minimum vote of the FTC Stock
required by applicable law in order to approve the Merger and the Merger
Agreement;
C. Subject to its fiduciary duties to the shareholders of FTC,
include in the Proxy Statement (defined in Section 1.06(D)) the
recommendation of its Board of Directors that the shareholders of FTC vote
in favor of the approval and adoption of the Merger and the Merger
Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; and
D. Cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to the shareholders of FTC
as soon as practicable, and use its best efforts to obtain the approval and
adoption of the Merger and the Merger Agreement by shareholders holding at
least the minimum number of shares of FTC Stock entitled to vote at the
Shareholders' Meeting necessary to approve the Merger and the Merger
Agreement under applicable law. The letter to shareholders, notice of
meeting, proxy statement and form of proxy to be distributed to
shareholders in connection with the Merger and the Merger Agreement shall
be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to BOKF and are
collectively referred to herein as the "Proxy Statement."
SECTION 1.07 Delivery of Consideration. The Exchange Agent shall send to
-------------------------
each holder of the FTC Stock a letter of transmittal for use in exchanging such
holder's certificates for the Per Share Cash Consideration. FTC shall forward
letters of transmittal to each of its shareholders, addressed to the most
current address of such shareholders according to the records of FTC, at least
twenty (20) days prior to the Closing Date unless FTC and BOKF shall mutually
agree to send such letters at a later date. If a holder of the FTC Stock
surrenders the certificates representing shares of such stock and a properly
executed letter of transmittal to the Exchange Agent at least three (3) business
days prior to the Closing Date, then on the Closing Date, BOKF shall pay to such
shareholder the consideration set forth in Section 1.05B, with respect to shares
of the FTC Stock. If a holder of the FTC Stock surrenders the certificates
representing shares
4
of such stock and a properly executed letter of transmittal to the Exchange
Agent at any time after three (3) business days prior to the Closing Date, then
promptly, and in no event later than three (3) business days after receipt of
such certificates and letter of transmittal, BOKF shall pay to such shareholder
the consideration set forth in Section 1.05B with respect to such shares of the
FTC Stock. If any record shareholder of FTC is unable to locate any certificate
evidencing the FTC Stock, such shareholder shall submit to the Exchange Agent an
affidavit of lost certificate and indemnification agreement in form reasonably
acceptable to BOKF. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Exchange Agent
nor any other party to this Agreement shall be liable to any holder of
certificates representing the FTC Stock for any amount paid to a public official
pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law. No
interest shall be payable with respect to the payment of the Merger
Consideration.

affairs of the Disclosing Party or otherwise in possession of the Disclosing
Party. The term "Subject Information" shall not include information that (A)

Party, provided that such information is not known by the Recipient to be
subject to another confidentiality agreement with or other obligation of secrecy
to the Disclosing Party, its Subsidiaries or another party, or (B) becomes

Agreement, but shall be in addition to all other remedies available at law or in
equity to the Disclosing Party.

Shareholders in accordance with Section 1.05D.

acting by a majority vote in the same manner as a board of directors acting
under the TBCA, for the FTC Shareholders and shall have full authority to
act for and on behalf thereof in the administration of the provision of
this Section. The actions of the Agent shall be deemed actions taken by
such persons as members of the Board of Directors of FTC prior to the
Closing.

offered by the Bank for certificates of comparable size and duration at
each renewal date, provided that any penalty for early withdrawal of such
funds will either be waived by the Bank or borne by BOKF.
C. The ESI/DDI Escrow Agreement shall terminate and the ESI/DDI
Escrow Funds shall be distributed to the FTC Shareholders in accordance
with Section 1.05E immediately upon written confirmation addressed to BOKF
or the Bank from Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company, or such other
insurance company as may be reasonably acceptable to both BOKF and the
Agent (which insurance company is acting as underwriter of the insurance
policies currently held by the Bank to fund performance of the Bank's
obligations under the ESI and DDI agreements), that such policies are in
force and stating the cash surrender value of such policies, which shall
not be less than the value reflected on the Bank's general ledger at
September 30, 1996.
D. If the ESI/DDI Escrow is not terminated in accordance with
Section 12.03C on or before February 28, 1999, then on March 1, 1999, the
ESI/DDI Escrow Funds shall be distributed to BOKF and the ESI/DDI Escrow
shall terminate, provided, however, that if the ESI/DDI Escrow is not
terminated in accordance with Section 12.03C by November 30, 1998, at the
request of the Agent, BOKF shall cause the Bank to sell to a third party by
February 27, 1999, all rights of the Bank in the remainder interest of the
ESI and DDI policies, so long as the amount to be paid by such third party
shall not be less than $1,300,000, and upon consummation of such sale, the
ESI/DDI Escrow Funds shall be distributed to the FTC Shareholders and the
ESI/DDI Escrow shall terminate. In the event the condition of distribution
to the FTC Shareholders described in Section 12.03C is fulfilled prior to
the Closing Date, then at the Closing Date, the ESI/DDI Escrow Funds shall
be distributed to the FTC Shareholders on the Closing Date.

Reserve") permits the consummation of the Merger on the fifteenth day
following approval of the Merger by the Federal Reserve or (b) March 19,
1997, if the Federal Reserve permits consummation of the Merger on the
thirtieth day following approval of the Merger, the Cash Consideration
will, unless the failure to consummate the Merger by such date results from
a failure of the FTC Stockholders to approve the Merger by such date,
increase by $10,000 per day between March 4, 1997 or March 19, 1997, as the
case may be, and the Effective Date and (ii) the Cash Consideration shall

Section 11.02 of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of
December 18, 1996, by and between FTC and BOKF (the "Reorganization
Agreement")), plus the amount of the Excess Indebtedness (as defined in
Section 8.07 of the Reorganization Agreement). The Cash Consideration
divided by the number of shares of the FTC Stock outstanding on the

On the Effective Date, each holder of the FTC Stock shall be entitled to
receive the Per Share Cash Consideration for each share of FTC Stock such
holder owns on the Effective Date.
C. As of the date of termination of the Representations Escrow
Agreement (as defined in Section 12.01 of the Reorganization Agreement),
the FTC Shareholders shall receive an aggregate amount equal to the
Representations Escrow Funds (as defined in
41
Section 12.01 of the Reorganization Agreement). The Representations Escrow
Funds divided by the number of shares of FTC Stock outstanding on the
Effective Date is referred to herein as the "Per Share Representations

Agreement, each holder of the FTC Stock as of the Effective Date shall be
entitled to receive the Per Share Representations Escrow Consideration for
each share of FTC Stock such holder owns on the Effective Date.

outstanding on the Effective Date is referred to herein as the "Per Share
Deposits Escrow Consideration". Upon the termination of the Deposits Escrow
Agreement, each holder of the FTC Stock as of the Effective Date shall be
entitled to receive the Per Share Deposits Escrow Consideration for each
share of FTC Stock such holder owns on the Effective Date.
E. As of the termination of the ESI/DDI Escrow Agreement (as defined
in Section 12.03 of the Reorganization Agreement), the FTC Shareholders
shall receive an aggregate amount equal to the ESI/DDI Escrow Funds (as

the Effective Date is referred to herein as the "Per Share ESI/DDI Escrow
Consideration". Upon the termination of the ESI/DDI Escrow Agreement, each
holder of the FTC Stock as of the Effective Date shall be entitled to
receive the Per Share ESI/DDI Escrow Consideration for each share of FTC
Stock such holder owns on the Effective Date.
F. The number of shares of the BOKSub Stock outstanding at the
Effective Date shall, at the Effective Date and by virtue of the Merger and

that the number of shares of the common stock of the Resulting Corporation
outstanding immediately after the Effective Date shall be equal to the
aggregate number of shares of BOKSub Stock outstanding immediately before
the Effective Date. The authorized number of shares of common stock of the
Resulting Corporation shall be the same as the authorized number of shares
of BOKSub Stock immediately prior to the Effective Date.
G. The Per Share Cash Consideration, the Per Share Representations
Escrow Consideration, and the Per Share Deposits Escrow Consideration are
hereafter collectively referred to as the "Per Share Merger Consideration."
As of the Effective Date, each share of the FTC Stock issued and

any action on the part of the holder thereof, unless dissenters' rights
under applicable law are being perfected with respect thereto, be converted
into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration.
H. On or following the Effective Date, each holder of the FTC Stock
shall be required to surrender, in accordance with Section 14, its shares
of FTC Stock to FTC,
42
which shall act as exchange agent (the "Exchange Agent"), and upon such
surrender, each such holder shall be entitled to receive from BOKF within
three (3) business days thereafter, an amount of cash as determined
pursuant to Section 5B. Until so surrendered, each such outstanding
certificate representing shares of FTC Stock shall be deemed for all
purposes, subject only to dissenters' rights under applicable law, to
evidence solely the right to receive from BOKF the Per Share Merger
Consideration multiplied by the number of shares represented by such
certificate.
6. Stock Transfer Books. The stock transfer books of BOKSub shall be
--------------------
closed as of the close of business at the Effective Date, and no transfer of
record of any of the shares of BOKSub Stock shall take place thereafter.

shareholders of FTC and the approval of the sole shareholder of BOKSub, this
Merger Agreement shall be made effective as soon as practicable thereafter in
the manner provided in Section 14 hereof.
8. Dissenters' Rights. Any shareholder of FTC who has not voted in favor
------------------
of the Merger at the meeting of shareholders of FTC and who has given notice in
writing at or prior to such meeting of his intent to exercise his dissenters'
rights with respect to the Merger, all in accordance with Articles 5.11, 5.12
and 5.13 of the TBCA, shall be governed by such provisions of the TBCA.
9. Conditions to Consummation of the Merger. Consummation of the Merger
----------------------------------------
as provided herein shall be conditioned upon the satisfaction of the conditions
set forth in the Reorganization Agreement, any or all of which may be waived in
accordance with the terms and provisions of the Reorganization Agreement.
10. Termination. This Merger Agreement may be terminated and abandoned at
-----------
any time prior to or on the Closing Date, whether before or after action thereon
by the shareholders of FTC pursuant to the terms and provisions of the
Reorganization Agreement.
11. Effect of Termination. In the event of the termination and
---------------------
abandonment of this Merger Agreement pursuant to the provisions of Section 10,
the liability by reason of this Merger Agreement or the termination thereof on
the part of either FTC, BOKF or the directors, officers, employees, agents or
shareholders of either of them shall be determined pursuant to the terms and
provisions of the Reorganization Agreement. Such terms and provisions are
hereby incorporated herein by reference for all purposes.
12. Representations and Warranties of BOKSub. BOKSub is a corporation,
----------------------------------------
duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
State of Texas. BOKSub has all requisite corporate power and authority
(including all licenses, franchises, permits and other governmental
authorizations as are legally required) to carry on its business as now being
conducted, to own, lease and operate its properties and assets as now owned,
leased or operated and to enter into and carry out its obligations under this
Merger Agreement.
43
13. Waiver, Amendment and Modification. Any of the terms or conditions
----------------------------------
of this Merger Agreement may be waived at any time, whether before or after
action thereon by the shareholders of FTC by the party that is entitled to the
benefits thereof. This Merger Agreement may be modified or amended at any time,
whether before or after action thereon by the shareholders of FTC, by BOKF and
FTC; provided, however, that in no event may any amendment hereto be made after
action by the shareholders of FTC that affects the value of the consideration to
be received by the shareholders of FTC specified in Section 5 of this Merger
Agreement or that materially and adversely affects the rights of FTC's
shareholders hereunder without the requisite approval of such shareholders. Any
waiver, modification or amendment of this Merger Agreement shall be in writing.
14. Closing Date and Effective Date. On a mutually acceptable date (the
-------------------------------
"Closing Date") as soon as practicable following the expiration of the mandatory
waiting period following the date of the order of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System approving the acquisition of FTC by BOKF, a meeting will
take place at which the parties to this Merger Agreement will exchange
certificates, opinions, letters and other documents in order to determine
whether any condition exists that would permit the parties to this Merger
Agreement to terminate this Merger Agreement. If no such condition then exists
or if no party elects to exercise any right it may have to terminate this Merger
Agreement, then and thereupon the appropriate parties shall execute such
documents and instruments as may be necessary or appropriate in order to effect
the transactions contemplated by this Merger Agreement and the Reorganization
Agreement.
The Merger shall become effective on the date specified in the Certificate
of Merger to be issued by the Secretary of State of the State of Texas under the
seal of his office, such time being referred to herein as the "Effective Date."
The Exchange Agent shall send to each holder of the FTC Stock a letter of
transmittal for use in exchanging such holder's certificates for the Per Share
Cash Consideration. FTC shall forward letters of transmittal to each of its
shareholders, addressed to the most current address of such shareholders
according to the records of FTC, at least twenty (20) days prior to the Closing
Date unless FTC and BOKF shall mutually agree to send such letters at a later
date. If a holder of the FTC Stock surrenders the certificates representing
shares of such stock and a properly executed letter of transmittal to the
Exchange Agent at least three (3) business days prior to the Closing Date, then
on the Closing Date, BOKF shall pay to such shareholder the consideration set
forth in Section 5B, with respect to shares of the FTC Stock. If a holder of
the FTC Stock surrenders the certificates representing shares of such stock and
a properly executed letter of transmittal to the Exchange Agent at any time
after three (3) business days prior to the Closing Date, then promptly, and in
no event later than three (3) business days after receipt of such certificates
and letter of transmittal, BOKF shall pay to such shareholder the consideration
set forth in Section 5B with respect to such shares of the FTC Stock. If any
record shareholder of FTC is unable to locate any certificate evidencing the FTC
Stock, such shareholder shall submit to the Exchange Agent an affidavit of lost
certificate and indemnification agreement in form reasonably acceptable to BOKF.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Exchange Agent nor any other party to
this Agreement shall be liable to any holder of certificates representing the
FTC Stock for any amount paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable
abandoned property, escheat or similar law. No interest shall be payable with
respect to the payment of the Merger Consideration.
44
15. Multiple Counterparts. For the convenience of the parties hereto,
---------------------
this Merger Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which
shall be deemed an original, and all counterparts hereof so executed by the
parties hereto, whether or not such counterpart shall bear the execution of each
of the parties hereto, shall be deemed to be, and shall be construed as, one and
the same Merger Agreement. A telecopy or facsimile transmission of a signed
counterpart of this Merger Agreement shall be sufficient to bind the party or
parties whose signature(s) appear thereon.
16. Governing Law. THIS MERGER AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
-------------
WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS (INCLUDING THOSE LAWS
RELATING TO CHOICE OF LAW) APPLYING TO CONTRACTS ENTERED INTO AND TO BE
PERFORMED WITHIN THE STATE OF TEXAS, WITHOUT REGARD FOR THE PROVISIONS THEREOF
REGARDING CHOICE OF LAW.
17. Further Assurances. Each party hereto agrees from time to time, as
------------------
and when requested by the other party hereto, or by its successors or assigns,
to execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such deeds
and instruments and to take or cause to be taken such further or other acts,
either before or after the Effective Date, as may be deemed necessary or
desirable in order to vest in and confirm to the resulting Corporation title to
and possession of any assets of BOKSub or FTC acquired or to be acquired by
reason of or as a result of the Merger and otherwise to carry out the intent and
purposes hereof, and the officers and directors of the parties hereto are fully
authorized in the name of their respective corporate names to take any and all
such actions.
18. Severability. In the event that any provision of this Merger
------------
Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or
future laws, then (a) such provision shall be fully severable and this Merger
Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or
unenforceable provision were not a part hereof; (b) the remaining provisions of
this Merger Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be
affected by such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance
from this Merger Agreement; and (c) there shall be added automatically as a part
of this Merger Agreement a provision as similar in terms to such illegal,
invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and still be legal, valid
and enforceable.
19. Specific Performance. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that
--------------------
the other parties would be irreparably damaged and would not have an adequate
remedy at law for money damages in the event that any of the covenants contained
in this Merger Agreement were not performed in accordance with its terms or
otherwise were materially breached. Each of the parties hereto therefore agrees
that, without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting bond or other
security, the other party shall be entitled to temporary and/or permanent
injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of such performance and to
specific enforcement of such covenants in addition to any other remedy to which
they may be entitled, at law or in equity.

21. Binding Effect; Assignment. All of the terms, covenants,
--------------------------
representations, warranties and conditions of this Merger Agreement shall be
binding upon, and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by, the parties
hereto and their respective successors, representatives and permitted assigns.
Nothing expressed or referred to herein is intended or shall be construed to
give any person other than the parties hereto any legal or equitable right,
remedy or claim under or in respect of this Merger Agreement, or any provision
herein contained, it being the intention of the parties hereto that this Merger

obligation or liability of any third party to any party to this Merger
Agreement, nor shall any provision give any third party any right of subrogation
or action over or against any party to this Merger Agreement. No party to this
Merger Agreement shall assign this Merger Agreement, by operation of law or
otherwise, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the other
parties. Any assignment made or attempted in violation of this Section 21 shall
be void and of no effect.
