 Exhibit A 
 1. Annual Bonus. 
 (i) Any bonus payable to Peter Chernin (the “Executive”) for the performance periods ending on June 30, 2007, June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2009, respectively (the “Performance Periods”) pursuant to the
News Corporation 2005 Long-Term Management Incentive Plan (each a “Bonus”) shall be paid in the manner hereinafter provided, following written certification by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of News Corporation no
later than 90 days after the end of the period to which it relates or 10 days after earnings for such period are announced, whichever occurs first, unless the Executive voluntarily defers receipt of any such payment in accordance with the terms of
the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement by and between News America Incorporated (the “Company”) and the Executive, dated August 1, 2004, as amended (the “Employment Agreement”). 
 (ii) The Bonus payable for any of the Performance Periods shall be the amount calculated pursuant to subsection (iii) below by (A) determining
the EPS Percentage Comparison for the fiscal year of the Company (July 1 to June 30) (the “Fiscal Year”) then ended compared to the prior Fiscal Year and (B) determining the Required Amount for such EPS Percentage Comparison.

 (iii) “EPS Percentage Comparison” shall mean the amount of percentage change (calculated to 1/100th of a percent) in Earnings
Per Share (as calculated below) of News Corp., determined as follows and as confirmed by News Corp.’s auditors: 
 (A) “Net
Income” for each Fiscal Year shall be determined in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles and will be such amount reported as Net Income in News Corp.’s audited consolidated financial statements (the
“Financial Statements”); 
 (B) “Adjusted Net Income” (which is to be used as the basis for the EPS Percentage Comparison
computation) shall be determined by adjusting Net Income by eliminating the effect on Net Income of the following items, which will apply equally to income and losses from “Associated Entities” (as that term is used in the Financial
Statements) included in Net Income (the “Adjustments”) - (i) non-cash intangible asset impairment charges and writedowns on investments to realizable values; (ii) gains or losses on the sale or other disposition of businesses or
investments; (iii) items classified as Extraordinary Items (or a similar classification); (iv) the impact of changes in accounting in the Fiscal Year of such change (with the intent being to measure Adjusted Net Income in each Fiscal Year
on the same bases of accounting); (v) costs of material business restructurings, reorganizations and relocations (includes severances, shut down, asset writeoffs – whether immediately recognized or the incremental impact of accelerated
charges over the restructuring period); and (vi) gains and losses from capital and debt issuances and retirements; 
 (C) Earnings Per
Share shall be calculated by dividing Adjusted Net Income by the number of shares of stock (or stock equivalents) of the combined classes of News Corp. utilized in the Financial Statements for the respective Fiscal Year in determining diluted
earnings 

  

 4 

 
per share (e.g., such number of shares for the 2003 Fiscal Year is set forth in Note 11 to News Corp.’s Full Financial Report for such Fiscal Year),
after adjusting for new share issuances and the effect of corporate reorganizations such as stock splits; and 
 (D) In such determination,
Earnings Per Share for the Fiscal Year then ended (“Current Year”) shall be divided by Earnings Per Share for the prior Fiscal Year (“Prior Year”) to determine the EPS Percentage Comparison. If Prior Year Earnings Per Share is a
negative number, the difference between Earnings Per Share for the Current Year and Prior Year shall be divided by Prior Year Earnings Per Share (expressed as a positive number) to determine the EPS Percentage Comparison. For example: (A) if
Prior Year Earnings Per Share is ($2.00) and Current Year Earnings Per Share is ($2.50), the EPS Percentage Comparison shall be negative 25% (negative change of $.50 divided by absolute value of $2.00 = negative 25%); (B) if Prior Year
Earnings Per Share is ($2.00) and Current Year Earnings Per Share is $1.00, the EPS Percentage Comparison shall be 150% (positive change of $3.00 divided by absolute value of $2.00 = 150%); and (C) if Prior Year Earnings Per Share is $2.00
and Current Year Earnings Per Share is $1.80, the EPS Percentage Comparison is negative 10% (negative change of $.20 divided by absolute value of $2.00 = negative 10%). 
 (iv) The “Required Amount” shall equal the following amounts, using straight-line interpolation between low and high Required Amounts for any
EPS Percentage Comparison that falls within any applicable EPS Percentage Comparison range: 
  

							
	 EPS Percentage Comparison Ranges:
 If the EPS Percentage Comparison is
	  	 The Required
 Amount is

	  	Low	  	High
	 Negative 25% or less
	  	 	0	  	 	0
	 Between negative 25% and negative 12 1/2%
	  	 	0	  	$	4 million
	 Between negative 12 1/2% and 0
	  	$	4 million	  	$	5 million
	 Between 0 and 10%
	  	$	5 million	  	$	10 million
	 Between 10% and 20%
	  	$	10 million	  	$	15 million
	 Between 20% and 30%
	  	$	15 million	  	$	20 million
	 Between 30% and 40%
	  	$	20 million	  	$	25 million
	 More than 40%
	  	$	25 million	  	$	25 million

 For example: (A) if the EPS Percentage Comparison is a negative 26% no Bonus will be payable; (B) if the
EPS Percentage Comparison is a negative 14% the Bonus payable will be $3,520,000; (C) if the EPS Percentage Comparison is a negative 6.2455% the Bonus payable will be $4,500,000 (i.e., negative 6.2455% rounded to the nearest 1/100th of a percent is negative 6.25%); 

  

 5 

 
(D) if the EPS Percentage Comparison is 1.5313% the Bonus Payable will be $5,765,000 (i.e., 1.5313% rounded to the nearest 1/100th of a percent is 1.53%); (E) if the EPS Percentage Comparison is 14.9555% the Bonus payable will be $12,480,000 (i.e.,
14.9555% rounded to the nearest 1/100th of a percent is 14.96%); (F) if the EPS Percentage Comparison is
22.0036%, the Bonus payable will be $16 million (i.e., 22.0036% rounded to the nearest 1/100th of a percent is
22.00%); and (G) if the EPS Percentage Comparison is 50.6587% the Bonus payable will be $25 million. 
 (v) Bonuses shall be paid to the
Executive in the following manner: 
 (A) Any Bonuses payable to the Executive for the performance periods ending June 30, 2007 and
June 30, 2008 shall be payable (1) the first $5 million in cash and (2) any balance payable one-half in cash and one-half in Restricted Stock Units, and 
 (B) Any Bonus payable to the Executive for the performance period ending June 30, 2009 shall be payable in cash. 
 (vi) The number of the Restricted Stock Units to be granted to the Executive shall be determined by dividing (A) the amount of the Bonus allocated to the Restricted Stock Units, by (B) the Average Market
Price of the News Corp. Class A non-voting common stock (the “Stock”). The “Average Market Price” of the Stock shall be the average of the closing price for the Stock on The New York Stock Exchange for the twenty-day
trading period ending on the date prior to the date the cash portion such Bonus is paid (without regard to any deferrals pursuant to the Employment Agreement). 
 (vii) The Restricted Stock Units earned by the Executive shall be paid to the Executive in the following manner: 
 (A) The Restricted Stock Units shall be paid by (1) delivery of one share of Stock for each Restricted Stock Unit or (2) cash for each Restricted Stock Unit based on the closing price for each share of Stock subject to each
Restricted Stock Unit valued on the date preceding each payment date specified in Sections (vii)(B) and (vii)(C)(1) (without regard to any deferrals pursuant to the Employment Agreement). 
 (B) The Restricted Stock Units shall be paid on the following dates, unless the Executive voluntarily defers receipt of any such payment pursuant to the
Employment Agreement: 
 (1) Any Restricted Stock Units for the performance period ending June 30, 2007 shall be paid in two equal
installments on July 1, 2008 and June 30, 2009. 
 (2) Any Restricted Stock Units for the performance period ending June 30,
2008 will be paid on June 30, 2009. 
  

 6 

 (C) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein: (1) the Restricted Stock Units shall
be paid within 15 business days after the date of the Executive’s death, the Executive’s Disability (as defined in the Employment Agreement), termination of the Executive’s employment by the Executive’s resignation for Good
Reason (as defined in the Employment Agreement other than if the Executive quits for the reason set forth in Section 7(a)(iii)(H) of the Employment Agreement after News Corp. has offered him the position of Chief Executive of News Corp. on at
least as favorable terms as those provided in the Employment Agreement (a “CEO Termination”)) or termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company without Cause (as defined in the Employment Agreement); and (2) subject to
Section 19 of the Employment Agreement, the Restricted Stock Units not previously paid shall terminate and be forfeited by the Executive in the event the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause, terminated by the
Executive without Good Reason (including the Executive’s termination of the Employment Agreement under Section 7(a)(vi) thereof) or terminated by the Executive for a CEO Termination; provided, however, that, in the event the
Executive’s employment is terminated by the Executive without Good Reason (including the Executive’s termination of the Employment Agreement under Section 7(a)(vi) thereof), the Executive will be treated as having continued employment
through the last date that the post-employment production agreements remain in effect, for purposes of the Restricted Stock Units. 
 (D) If
on any date while Restricted Stock Units are outstanding pursuant to a Bonus the Company shall pay a dividend on the Stock (or the record date for such dividend shall occur), the number of Restricted Stock Units held by the Executive shall, as of
such dividend payment date, be increased by a number of Restricted Stock Units equal to: (a) the product of (x) the number of Restricted Stock Units held by the Executive as of the related dividend record date, multiplied by (y) the
amount of any cash dividend per share of Stock (or, in the case of any dividend payable in whole or in part other than in cash or Stock, the value of such dividend per share of Stock, as determined in good faith by the Company), divided by
(b) the closing price of the Stock on The New York Stock Exchange on the payment date of such dividend (or, if no closing price is reported on such date, the immediately preceding date upon which a closing price is reported). In the case of any
dividend declared on the Stock that is payable in the form of Stock, the number of Restricted Stock Units held by the Executive shall be increased by a number equal to the product of (I) the aggregate number of Restricted Stock Units held by
the Executive as of the related dividend record date, multiplied by (II) the number of shares of Stock (including any fraction thereof) payable as a dividend on a share of Stock. 
 (E) In the event of any change in the outstanding Stock by reason of any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, separation, spin-off,
liquidation, stock dividend, split-up, share combination or other change in the corporate or capital structure affecting Stock, the Company shall adjust the Restricted Stock Units described herein to reflect such event. The Executive may designate a
beneficiary who may possess all rights with respect to the Restricted Stock Units granted pursuant to a Bonus in the event of the Executive’s death; otherwise payment will be made to the Executive’s estate.

Board of Directors of BancFirst Corporation (the “Corporation”) on October 26, 2006. 

 The Plan is intended as
an incentive and to encourage stock ownership by certain key employees and officers of the Corporation in order to increase their proprietary interest in the Corporation’s success. 
 As of the effective date, the Plan is being amended and restated to comply with Section 409A of the United States Tax Code. 
  

	2.	DEFINITIONS. As used herein, the following terms shall have the corresponding meanings:

	 	2.3.	“Date of Grant” shall mean the date of the approval by the Committee of a Stock Option granted hereunder as set forth in the Stock Option Award Terms and Conditions. In
the event of a grant conditioned, among other things, upon stockholder ratification of this Plan, the date of such conditional grant shall be the Date of Grant for purposes of this Plan. 

  

	 	2.4.	“Employee” shall mean any common-law employee of the Corporation. The determination of whether or not a person is an Employee of the Corporation with respect to the grant

in the over-the-counter market as quoted on such market for the business day of the Date of Grant, or (c) if the Common Stock is not then listed on any exchange or quoted on an over-the-counter market, an amount determined in good faith by the
Committee to be the fair market value of the Common Stock, after consideration of all relevant factors, on the Date of Grant. In all events, “Fair Market Value” shall be determined in good faith by the Committee in a manner that will
comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder. 

	 	2.6	“Nonqualified Stock Option” shall mean a Stock Option which is not intended to qualify for tax treatment as an “incentive stock option” under Section 422 of

	 	3.1	AUTHORITY; INDEMNIFICATION. Within the limitations described herein, the Committee shall administer the Plan, select the Employees of the Corporation, including officers of
the Corporation, to whom Stock Options shall be granted, determine the number of Shares to be subject to each grant, determine the method of payment upon exercise of each Stock Option, determine all other terms of Stock Options granted hereunder and
interpret, construe and implement the provisions of the Plan. All questions of interpretation of the Plan or any Stock Option granted under the Plan shall be determined by the Committee, and such decisions shall be binding upon all persons having an
interest in the Plan and/or any Stock Option. No member of the Committee shall be liable for any action or determination made in good faith, and the members shall be entitled to indemnification and reimbursement in the manner provided in the
Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation, or as otherwise permitted by law. A member of the Committee shall be eligible to receive a grant of a Stock Option under the Plan on the same terms as other Employees. However, if the Committee grants
Stock Options to a member of the Committee, such grant shall not be effective until such grant is approved by the Compensation Committee, consisting of three or more “independent directors” as defined in and determined pursuant to the
Marketplace Rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. (“NASDAQ”) or any other stock exchange upon which the Common Stock of the Corporation is listed. 

  

	 	3.2	RULE 16B-3 COMPLIANCE. With respect to the participation of eligible participants who are subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, the Plan shall be administered in
compliance with the requirements of Rule 16b-3. 

  

	4.	ELIGIBILITY. The individuals who shall be eligible to participate in the Plan shall be such key Employees (including officers) of BancFirst Corporation, or of any
corporation (“Subsidiary”) in which the Corporation has proprietary interest by reason of stock ownership or otherwise, including any corporation in which the Corporation acquires a proprietary interest after the adoption of this Plan (but
only if the Corporation owns, directly or indirectly, stock possessing not less than 50% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock in the corporation), as the Committee shall determine from time to time. 

	5.	STOCK. The stock subject to Stock Options and other provisions of the Plan shall be shares of the Corporation’s authorized but unissued Common Stock or treasury
stock, as determined by the Committee. Subject to adjustment in accordance with the provisions of Subparagraph 6.7 hereof, the total number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation on which Stock Options may be granted under the Plan shall not
exceed in the aggregate 2,500,000 shares. In the event that any outstanding Stock Option under the Plan for any reason expires or is terminated prior to the end of the period during which Stock Options may be granted, the shares of the Common Stock
allocable to the unexercised portion of such Stock Option may again be subject to a Stock Option under the Plan. 

  

	6.	TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF STOCK OPTIONS. Stock Options granted pursuant to the Plan shall be evidenced by a Stock Option Award Terms and Conditions document in such form
as the Committee shall, from time to time, approve. Awards shall comply with and be subject to the following terms and conditions: 

  

	 	6.1	MEDIUM AND TIME OF PAYMENT. The Option Exercise Price shall be payable in United States Dollars upon the exercise of the Stock Option and may be paid in cash or by certified
check, bank draft or money order payable to the order of the Corporation, unless otherwise determined by the Committee. 

  

	 	6.2	NUMBER OF SHARES. The Stock Option shall state the total number of shares to which it pertains. 

  

	 	6.3	OPTION EXERCISE PRICE. The Option Exercise Price shall be not less than the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the Date of Grant. 

  

	 	6.4	TERM OF STOCK OPTIONS. The period during which Stock Options shall be exercisable shall be fixed by the Committee, but in no event shall a Stock Option be exercisable after
the expiration of fifteen (15) years from the date such Stock Option is granted. Subject to the foregoing, Stock Options shall be exercisable at such times and be subject to such restrictions and conditions as the Committee shall in each
instance determine, which restrictions and conditions need not be the same for all Stock Options. 

  

	 	6.5	DATE OF EXERCISE. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at the time of granting a Stock Option, Stock Options shall be exercisable at the rate set forth below
beginning four years from the Date of Grant. After becoming exercisable, the Stock Option may be exercised at any time and from time to time in whole or in part until termination of the Stock Option as set forth in Sections 6.4 or 6.6.

	 	6.6	TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. In the event that an Optionee’s employment by the Corporation shall terminate, his Stock Option whether or not then exercisable shall
terminate immediately; provided, however, that if the termination is not as a result of embezzlement, theft or other violation of the law, the Optionee shall have the right to exercise his option (to the extent 

 exercisable at the time of termination) at any time within 30 days after such termination; provided,
further, that if any termination of employment is related to the Optionee’s retirement with the consent of the Corporation, the Optionee shall have the right to exercise his Stock Option (to the extent exercisable up to the date of retirement)
at any time within three months after such retirement; and provided, further, that if the Optionee shall die while in the employment of the Corporation or within the period of time after termination of employment or retirement during which he was
entitled to exercise his option as hereinabove provided, his estate, personal representative, or beneficiary shall have the right to exercise his Stock Option (to the extent exercisable at the date of death) at any time within twelve
(12) months from the date of his death. 
  

	 	6.7	RECAPITALIZATION. The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock on which Stock Options may be granted to persons participating under the Plan, the number of shares thereof
covered by each outstanding Stock Option, and the price per share thereof in each such Stock Option, shall all be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock of the Corporation resulting from
a subdivision or consolidation of shares or other capital adjustment, or the payment of a stock dividend or other increase or decrease in such shares, effected without receipt of consideration by the Corporation; provided, however, that any
fractional shares resulting from such adjustment shall be eliminated. In the event of a change in the Corporation’s Common Stock which is limited to a change in the designation thereof to “Capital Stock” or other similar designation,
or a change in the par value thereof, or from par value to no par value, without increase in the number of issued shares, the shares resulting from any such change shall be deemed to be Common Stock within the meaning of the Plan.

  

	 	6.8	REORGANIZATION OF CORPORATION. Subject to any required action by the stockholders, if the Corporation shall be the surviving or resulting corporation in any merger or
consolidation which does not result in change of control of the Corporation, any Stock Option granted hereunder shall pertain to and apply to the securities to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Stock Option would
have been entitled. In the event of a dissolution or liquidation of the Corporation or a merger or consolidation in which the Corporation is not the surviving or resulting corporation or which results in a change in control of the Corporation, or a
tender or exchange offer which results in a change in control of the Corporation, the Committee shall determine: (i) whether all or any part of the unexercisable portion (as set forth in section 6.5) of any Stock Option outstanding under the
Plan shall terminate; (ii) whether the Stock Options shall become immediately exercisable; or (iii) whether such Stock Options may be exchanged for options covering securities of any such surviving or resulting corporation, subject to the
agreement of any such surviving or resulting corporation, on terms and conditions substantially similar to a Stock Option hereunder. 

  

	 	6.9	ASSIGNABILITY. Except as provided in this Section, no Stock Option shall be assignable or transferable except as follows: 

  

	 	(a)	by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. 

  

	 	(b)	for the purpose of making a charitable gift as permitted by Section 6.13. 

  

	 	(c)	to the Optionee as trustee, or to the Optionee and one or more others as co-trustees, of a revocable trust which allows the Optionee to amend or revoke the trust at any time. If the
Optionee relinquishes his power to amend or revoke the trust or resigns as a trustee, the Optionee shall withdraw the Stock Option from the trust prior to the relinquishment of such power or his resignation as trustee and shall revest title to the
Stock Option in the Optionee’s individual name. If the trust becomes irrevocable due to the death of the Optionee, the 

 successor or remaining trustee(s) shall have the same power to exercise the Stock Option under
Section 6.6 hereof as the personal representative. If the Optionee becomes incapacitated, the date of incapacity shall be deemed for purposes of this Plan as the date of termination of employment under Section 6.6 (whether or not
Optionee’s employment has actually terminated), and the successor or remaining trustee(s) of the trust shall have the same right to exercise the Stock Option as a terminated Optionee has under Section 6.6. The Optionee as trustee and any
successor or remaining trustee(s) shall be bound by all the terms and conditions of the Plan and the Stock Option Award Terms and Conditions delivered by the Company to the Optionee under this Plan. 
  

	 	(d)	to the extent set forth in the Stock Option Award Terms and Conditions governing such Stock Option. 

  

	 	6.10	OPTIONEE’S AGREEMENT. If, at the time of the exercise of any Stock Option, it is necessary or desirable, in order to comply with any applicable laws or regulations
relating to the sale of securities, that the Optionee exercising the Stock Option shall agree that he will purchase the shares that are subject to the Stock Option for investment and not with any present intention to resell the same, the Optionee
will, upon the request of the Corporation, execute and deliver to the Corporation an agreement to such effect. 

  

	 	6.11	RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER. An Optionee shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to shares covered by his Stock Option until the date of issuance of the shares to him
and only after such shares are fully paid. 

  

	 	6.12	OTHER PROVISIONS. The Stock Option Award Terms and Conditions authorized under the Plan may contain such other provisions as the Committee shall deem advisable.

  

	 	6.13	CHARITABLE GIFT. An Optionee shall be permitted to assign his Stock Option without consideration, either in full or in one or more partial assignments from time to time, to
any organization that has been recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as qualifying under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (a “Charity”). Assignment(s) may be made during the Optionee’s lifetime
or may be effective upon his death. If a Stock Option is assigned to a Charity, in whole or in part, it shall continue to be subject to the restrictions of Sections 6.5 and 6.6 hereof, which shall thereafter apply to the same extent as if the Stock
Option were still held by the Optionee himself (if he is living), or by his estate, personal representative or beneficiary (if he is deceased). 

  

	7.	MARKETABILITY OF SHARES. The Common Stock is currently traded on the NASDAQ Global Market. As a result, its liquidity varies widely in response to supply and demand.
Consequently, the Corporation can give no assurances as to the marketability of shares acquired under the Plan. 

  

	8.	TAX IMPLICATIONS. It is anticipated that Stock Options granted under the Plan will be treated as Nonqualified Stock Options by the Internal Revenue Service. As such,
exercise of the Stock Option would generate a taxable event with the difference between the original Option Exercise Price and the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock at the time of exercise being treated as ordinary income. If a Stock Option is
transferred to a Charity as permitted by Sections 6.9(b) and 6.13 hereof, the Optionee should expect to have ordinary income attributed to him at the time the Charity exercises the Stock Option, in the same amount and with the same effect as if the
Optionee himself exercised the Stock Option. 

  

	9.	TERM OF PLAN. No Stock Option may be granted after December 31, 2011. 

	10.	NO OBLIGATION TO EXERCISE OPTION. The granting of a Stock Option shall impose no obligation upon the Optionee to exercise such Stock Option. 

 

	11.	AMENDMENTS. The Board of Directors may from time to time amend, alter, suspend, or discontinue the Plan or alter or amend (including decrease of the Option Exercise
Price by cancellation and substitution of options or otherwise) any and all option agreements granted thereunder; provided, however, that after the first registration of the Common Stock under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
no such action of the Board of Directors may, without approval of the stockholders of the Corporation, alter the provisions of the Plan so as to (a) materially increase the benefits accruing to participants under the Plan; (b) materially
increase the number of securities which may be issued under the Plan; or (c) materially modify the requirements as to eligibility for participation in the Plan; and provided, further, that no amendment may, without the consent of the Optionee,
affect any then outstanding Stock Options or unexercised portions thereof. In addition, the approval of the Corporation’s stockholders shall be sought for any amendment to the Plan or a Stock Option for which the Committee deems stockholder
approval necessary in order to comply with Rule 16b-3.
