ITEM 2.03 - Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement.

Effective December 2, 2009, BOK Financial Corporation (the "Corporation") and
George B. Kaiser, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, entered
into a First Amended Debenture (the "First Amended Debenture) which amends the
$188,000,000 debenture between the Corporation and Mr. Kaiser dated July 21,
2009 (the "Original Debenture").

The First Amended Debenture amends the Original Debenture by (i) decreasing the
debenture from $188 million to $100 million; (ii) increasing the interest on
outstanding balance due from one-month LIBOR plus 125 basis points to one month
LIBOR plus 250 basis points, (iii) increasing the quarterly unused facility fee
from 25 basis points to 50 basis points and (iv) extending the maturity date for
the debenture from December 2, 2010 to December 2, 2012. As with the Original
Debenture, the First Amended Debenture contains no restrictive covenants. There
were no amounts outstanding under the Original Debenture and there are currently
no amounts outstanding under the First Amended Debenture.
