Explanation of Responses:

*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	Restricted units awarded under the Issuer's Equity Compensation Plan. The award vested on January 1, 2012. Restricted units were payable one share of the Issuer's common stock for each vested performance unit. The reporting person elected to defer receipt of the 150,000 shares of the Issuer's common stock to which the reporting person was entitled upon vesting and which are reported as phantom stock in Table II. Of the 150,000 shares, the reporting person surrendered 2226.7102 shares to cover taxes applicable to the vesting, resulting in the deferral of the 147,773.2898 net shares remaining. Each share of the phantom stock is the economic equivalent of one share of the Issuer's common stock.
(2)	Restricted Unit Grant approved by ONEOK Board of Directors on November 16, 2006. The grant vested on January 1, 2012, and was payable one share of the issuer's common stock for each restricted unit.
