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)	Disposed of pursuant to the merger agreement between Commercial Federal Corporation and Bank of the West in exchange for cash consideration of $34.00 per share.
(2)	This form reflects increases in beneficial ownership resulting from exempt acquisitions under the Commercial Federal Corporation Dividend Reinvestment Plan pursuant to Rule 16a-11.
(3)	Because the exercise price of this option exceeded the merger consideration of $34.00 per share, a $0.50 cash dividend was paid for each share subject to this option and the option was then cancelled.
(4)	This option was canceled in the merger in exchange for a cash payment representing the difference between the merger consideration of $34.00 per share and the exercise price of the option.

Note: File three copies of this Form, one of which must be manually signed. If space is insufficient, see Instruction 6 for procedure.

Potential persons who are to respond to the collection of information contained in this form are not required to respond unless the form displays a currently valid OMB number.
