INTERIM ORDER PURSUANT TO SECTIONS 105(a), 362, AND

541 OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE ESTABLISHING PROCEDURES FOR

CERTAIN TRANSFERS OF EQUITY INTERESTS IN AND CLAIMS AGAINST

THE
DEBTOR AND SCHEDULING A FINAL HEARING

Upon the motion (the Motion) of Ambac Financial Group, Inc.
(the Debtor), as debtor and debtor in possession in the above-captioned chapter 11 case, pursuant to sections 105(a), 362, and 541 of title 11 of the United States Code (the Bankruptcy Code), seeking entry of an
interim order (this Interim Order) establishing procedures for certain transfers of equity interests in and claims against the Debtor, all as more fully described in the Motion; and the Court having jurisdiction to consider the
Motion and the relief requested therein in accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 1334 and Standing Order M-61 Referring to Bankruptcy Judges for the Southern District of New York Any and All Proceedings Under Title 11, dated July 10, 1984 (Ward,
Acting C.J.); and consideration of the Motion and the relief requested therein being a core proceeding pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 157(b); and venue being proper before this Court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1409; and due and proper
notice of the Motion having been provided; and an interim hearing having been held to consider the relief requested in the Motion (the Interim Hearing); and upon the record of the Interim Hearing and all of the proceedings had
before the Court; and the Court having determined that the relief sought in the Motion is in the best interests of the Debtor, its estate, its creditors, and all parties in interest, and that the



---

legal and factual bases set forth in the Motion establish just cause for the relief granted herein; and after due deliberation and sufficient cause appearing therefor, it is HEREBY FOUND THAT:

A. Unrestricted transfers in Ambac Stock and Claims (each as defined below) prior the Debtors emergence from bankruptcy
could potentially limit its ability, in connection with its eventual emergence from bankruptcy, to utilize net operating loss carryovers (NOLs) and other tax attributes for United States federal income tax purposes, pursuant to
the rules under section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the IRC).

B. The procedures
set forth herein (the Procedures) are necessary and proper to preserve the Debtors NOLs and other tax attributes and are thus in the best interests of the Debtor, its estate, and its creditors. The relief requested in the
Motion is authorized under sections 105(a), 362, and 541 of the Bankruptcy Code.

THEREFORE, IT HEREBY

ORDERED that the Motion is granted on an interim basis; and it is further

ORDERED that the following Procedures are hereby imposed and approved:1



| | 1. | Procedures for Transfers of Ambac Stock.
| | -- | ----------------------------------------



| | (i) | Notice of Substantial Ambac Stock Ownership. Any Entity that, at any time on or after the Commencement Date, Beneficially Owns Ambac Stock in an amount
sufficient to qualify such Entity as a Substantial Equityholder must file with the Court, and serve upon the Debtor and its counsel, by overnight mail, a notice of such status, in the form attached hereto as Schedule 1, on or before the later
of (i) twenty (20) business days after the Commencement Date or (ii) ten (10) business days after becoming a Substantial Equityholder.
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (ii) | Ambac Stock Transactions. At least fifteen (15) business days prior to the consummation of any Ambac Stock transaction which would result in an increase or
decrease in the amount of Ambac Stock Beneficially Owned by an Entity that is or subsequently becomes a Substantial Equityholder or would result in an
| | ---- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|1 | Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in Section 7 below.
|- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

---



| | Entity becoming a Substantial Equityholder, such Entity must file with the Court, and serve upon the Debtor and its counsel, by overnight mail, advance written notice
of the intended Ambac Stock transaction, in the form attached hereto as Schedule 2 (a Proposed Ambac Stock Transaction Notice).
| | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (iii) | Objection Procedures. The Debtor shall have ten (10) business days after receipt of a Proposed Ambac Stock Transaction Notice to file with the Court and
serve upon the Entity providing such notice an objection to any proposed transaction described in the notice on the grounds that such transaction might adversely affect the Debtors ability to utilize its tax attributes. If the Debtor files
such an objection, the transaction described in the Proposed Ambac Stock Transaction Notice shall not be effective unless approved by a final and nonappealable order of the Court. If the Debtor does not object within such ten (10) business day
period, the transaction described in the Proposed Ambac Stock Transaction Notice may proceed solely as set forth such notice. Any further Ambac Stock transactions by the Entity providing the Proposed Ambac Stock Transaction Notice shall be the
subject of additional notices as set forth herein.
| | ----- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (iv) | Sanctions. Any transfer of Ambac Stock in violation of the Procedures shall be null and void ab initio as an act in violation of the automatic stay under
sections 105(a) and 362 of the Bankruptcy Code.
| | ---- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 2. | Procedures for Transfers of Claims.
| | -- | -----------------------------------



| | (i) | Substantial Claimholders. Any Entity that, at any time on or after the Commencement Date, (a) is a Substantial Claimholder, (b) is not a Substantial
Claimholder and purchases or otherwise acquires Beneficial Ownership of an amount of Claims that causes the Entity to become a Substantial Claimholder, or (c) is a Substantial Claimholder and purchases or otherwise acquires Beneficial Ownership
of any additional Claims, will have an obligation, in the event that the Court issues a Sell Down Order, to sell or otherwise transfer Beneficial Ownership of an aggregate amount of Claims sufficient to prevent such Entity from having Beneficial
Ownership of an amount of New Ambac Stock that exceeds the greater of the Applicable Amount and the amount determined under the formula specified in the Sell Down Notice applicable to such Entity; provided, however, that such Entity shall not
be required to make any sale or other transfer of Beneficial Ownership of Claims that would result in such Entity having Beneficial Ownership of an aggregate amount of Claims that is less than the greater of the Threshold Amount and such
Entitys Protected Amount.
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (ii) | No Disclosure of Participation. To permit reliance by the Debtor on Treasury Regulation section 1.382-9(d)(3), any Substantial Claimholder that
participates in formulating any chapter 11 plan of or on behalf of the Debtor (which shall include, without limitation, making any suggestions or proposals to the Debtor its advisors with regard to such a plan) shall not disclose (or otherwise make
evident) to the Debtor that any Claims of which such Substantial Claimholder has Beneficial Ownership are Newly Traded Claims (the Participation Restriction).
| | ---- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



3



---



| | For this purpose, the Debtor acknowledges and agrees that the following activities shall not constitute participation in formulating a chapter 11 plan if, in pursuing
such activities, the relevant Substantial Claimholder does not disclose (or otherwise make evident) to the Debtor that such Substantial Claimholder has Beneficial Ownership of Newly Traded Claims: filing an objection to a proposed disclosure
statement or to confirmation of a proposed chapter 11 plan, voting to accept or reject a proposed chapter 11 plan, reviewing or commenting on a proposed business plan, providing information on a confidential basis to Debtors counsel
unconnected with formulation of a chapter 11 plan, general membership on an official committee or an ad hoc committee, or taking any action required by order of the Court.
| | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (iii) | Notice of Consent. Any Substantial Claimholder shall serve upon the Debtor and its counsel, by overnight mail, a notice in the form attached hereto as
Schedule 3 (a Notice of Consent) no later than fifteen (15) business days following the later of (a) the Commencement Date or (b) the date that such Entity acquires such status; provided, however, that
if such Substantial Claimholder enters into a transaction described in Section 2(i)(b) or 2(i)(c) with respect to its Claims after the Debtor has filed a Reporting Notice with the Court, any such Substantial Claimholder which has not previously
a filed a Notice of Consent shall serve any required Notice of Consent no later than five (5) business days following the time that such Substantial Claimholder enters into the transaction.
| | ----- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (iv) | Reporting of Substantial Claimholder Status. To assess the feasibility of implementing any 382(l)(5) Plan and the need for petitioning the Court for a Sell Down
Order, the Debtor may file with the Court and further publish and serve, in the manner specified in Section 5(i), a notice (the Reporting Notice) requiring each Substantial Claimholder, within twenty (20) business days
of the Debtors filing of the Reporting Notice with the Court, to serve upon the Debtor and its counsel, by overnight mail, a notice in the form attached hereto as Schedule 4 (a Substantial Claimholder Notice).
| | ---- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (v) | Petition for Sell Down Order and Notification Procedures.
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------



| | (a) | After filing any 382(l)(5) Plan and disclosure statement with respect thereto with the Court, the Debtor may file a motion with the Court for the entry of an order (the
Sell Down Order) that
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (1) | authorizes the Debtor to issue Sell Down Notices (I) to each Entity that has timely filed a Substantial Claimholder Notice showing Beneficial
Ownership of Claims that, pursuant to the 382(l)(5) Plan (and prior to giving effect to the Sell Down Order), would entitle such Entity to acquire Beneficial Ownership of more than the Applicable Amount of the New Ambac Stock (a Potential
Substantial New Stockholder), (II) requiring that each Potential Substantial New Stockholder must sell, cause to sell, or otherwise transfer all or a portion of its Beneficial Ownership of Claims (by
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

---

| | class or other applicable breakdown) in excess of the Maximum Amount for such Substantial Claimholder (such excess amount, the Excess Amount) to Permitted Transferees and not
to subsequently acquire Claims in excess of the Maximum Amount, and (III) specifying in reasonable detail the Excess Amount applicable with respect to such Potential Substantial New Stockholder; and
| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (2) | provides that any Entity (other than a Potential Substantial New Stockholder which is described in Section 2(v)(a)(I)) shall not be entitled to acquire Beneficial
Ownership of more than the Applicable Amount of the New Ambac Stock (or consideration in lieu thereof) if the 382(l)(5) Plan is consummated. | 
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | 



| | (b) | The motion for a Sell Down Order shall be published and served in the manner described in Section 5(i) within five (5) business days of the filing of such
motion with the Court. Each Potential Substantial New Stockholder shall also be served with a copy of the motion. If the Court enters a Sell Down Order approving the Debtors issuance of Sell Down Notices, the Debtor shall provide a copy of
such Sell Down Order to each Substantial Claimholder.
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (vi) | Objections to Sell Down Order. In the event that a Potential Substantial New Stockholder in receipt of a Sell Down Notice objects to the Sell Down Order on the
grounds that the Sell Down Notice either contains a mathematical error or requires the Potential Substantial New Stockholder to reduce its Beneficial Ownership of Claims below the Maximum Amount, the Debtor will be permitted to serve a new Sell Down
Notice correcting such errors. In the event that a Potential Substantial New Stockholder objects to the Sell Down Order on any other grounds, or in the event that a Potential Substantial New Stockholder continues to object to a Sell Down Notice on
the grounds set forth in the preceding sentence, then the Sell Down Notice and Sell Down Order shall remain effective unless the Potential Substantial New Stockholder establishes that there is no reasonable possibility that the 382(l)(5) Plan will
be confirmed. In the event the 382(l)(5) Plan is amended, the related Sell Down Notices will remain effective; provided, however, that, if the Debtor withdraws the 382(l)(5) Plan, the Sell Down Order and Sell Down Notices will be
automatically revoked and have no further effect.
| | ---- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (vii) | Procedures for Implementing a Sell Down Order.
| | ----- | ----------------------------------------------



| | (a) | Each transfer of Claims required by a Sell Down Notice shall occur prior to the date that is thirty (30) days after receipt of the Sell Down
Notice. In effecting any transfer of Claims pursuant to a Sell Down Notice, a Substantial Claimholder shall, to the extent that it is reasonably feasible to do so within the normal constraints of the market in which such sale takes place, notify the
acquiror of such Claims of the existence of the Interim
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

---

| | Order and its requirements (it being understood that, in all cases in which there is direct communication between a salesperson and a customer, including, without limitation, communication via
telephone, e-mail, and instant messaging, the existence of the Interim Order and its requirements shall be included in such salespersons summary of the transaction).
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (b) | Once a Potential Substantial New Stockholder has transferred its Claims in accordance with a Sell Down Notice and as a condition to receiving New Ambac Stock, such
Entity shall, by the date that is five (5) days following the latest date for completing such transfer, serve upon the Debtor and its counsel, by overnight mail, a notice in the form attached hereto as Schedule 5 (a Notice of
Compliance) that such Substantial Claimholder has complied with the terms and conditions set forth herein with respect to such Sell Down Notice and that such Substantial Claimholder does not and will not hold an Excess Amount of Securities
as of the effective date of the 382(l)(5) Plan. Any Substantial Claimholder which fails to comply with this provision shall not receive New Ambac Stock with respect to the entirety of its Excess Amount.
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (viii) | Procedure if No Sell Down Notices are Required. If the Debtor determines, based upon the Substantial Claimholder Notices filed, that no Sell Down Notices are
necessary to implement a 382(l)(5) Plan, the Debtor may move the Court for an order requiring advance notice of certain acquisitions of Claims (the Claims Acquisition Notice Order). Under the Claims Acquisition Notice Order:
| | ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (a) | any Entity proposing to acquire Claims in a transaction following which such Entity would have Beneficial Ownership of Claims that, pursuant to the terms of the
382(l)(5) Plan, would entitle such Entity to receive New Ambac Stock in excess of the amount of New Ambac Stock to which such Entity would have been entitled based upon the holdings reported on such Entitys Substantial Claimholder Notice; and
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (b) | any Entity that would become a Potential Substantial New Stockholder by virtue of a proposed acquisition of Beneficial Ownership of Claims,
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

will be required, at least fifteen (15) business days prior to the consummation of such transaction, to serve upon the Debtor and its
counsel, by overnight mail, advance written notice of the intended Claims acquisition, in the form attached hereto as Schedule 6 (a Proposed Claims Acquisition Notice). The Debtor may determine, in furtherance of the
purposes of the Procedures, whether or not to approve a transaction described in a Proposed Claims Acquisition Notice. A transaction described in a Proposed Claims Acquisition Notice that is not approved in writing by the Debtor within ten
(10) business days following the Debtors receipt of such notice shall be deemed rejected. Any further Claims acquisitions by the Entity providing the Proposed Claims Acquisition Notice shall be the subject of additional notices as set
forth herein. In addition, the Claims Acquisition Notice Order will require any Entity which has acquired Beneficial

---

Ownership of Claims as to which approval in writing from the Debtor would have been required, but for the fact that such acquisition occurred prior to the entry of the Claims Acquisition Notice
Order, to serve notice of such fact on the Debtor and its counsel, by overnight mail, within fifteen (15) days of the entry of the Claims Acquisition Notice Order. If the Debtor determines that the retention by such Entity of such Claims could
jeopardize the implementation of the 382(l)(5) Plan, the Debtor will serve a Sell Down Notice on such Entity, in which case the Procedures described herein with respect to Sell Down Notices will apply.



| | (ix) | Noncompliance Relating to a Sell Down Notice or a Claims Trading Notice Order. If any Entity fails to make a required transfer of Claims under this Interim
Order, such Entity shall not be entitled to acquire, directly or indirectly, Beneficial Ownership of New Ambac Stock (or consideration in lieu thereof) in connection with the implementation of the 382(l)(5) Plan in excess of the greater of the
Applicable Amount and the amount specified in the Sell Down Notice applicable to such Entity. Any Entity that was required to file a Substantial Claimholder Notice and did not do so shall not be entitled to acquire Beneficial Ownership of any New
Ambac Stock (or consideration in lieu thereof) in excess of the Applicable Amount in connection with the implementation of the 382(l)(5) Plan. Any Entity that acquires Claims in violation of a Sell Down Order or a Claims Acquisition Notice Order
shall not be entitled to acquire Beneficial Ownership of any New Ambac Stock (or consideration in lieu thereof) in connection with the implementation of the 382(l)(5) Plan in excess of the amount of New Ambac Stock to which such Entity would have
been entitled had it not acquired such Claims. The foregoing sanctions (the Equity Forfeiture Provisions) shall be effective without any further order of the Court. Any purported acquisition of Beneficial Ownership of New Ambac
Stock pursuant to the implementation of a 382(l)(5) Plan that is precluded by the Equity Forfeiture Provisions (the Forfeited Equity) shall be void ab initio. Any Entity that receives Forfeited Equity shall, immediately
upon becoming aware of such fact, return the Forfeited Equity to the reorganized Debtor, or, if all or some of such Forfeited Equity has been sold prior to the time such Entity becomes aware of such fact, such Entity shall return to the reorganized
Debtor any Forfeited Equity still held by such Entity and the proceeds attributable to the sale of any Forfeited Equity. Any Entity that receives Forfeited Equity and fails to comply with the preceding sentence shall be subject to such additional
sanctions as the Court may determine. The reorganized Debtor shall distribute any Forfeited Equity in accordance with the 382(l)(5) Plan.
| | ---- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3. Confidentiality. The Debtor and its counsel shall keep all information provided in notices delivered pursuant to this Order strictly confidential and shall not disclose the contents thereof to
any Entity, except (i) to the extent necessary to demonstrate to the Court the need for the issuance of a Sell Down Notice or otherwise respond to a petition or objection filed with the Court, (ii) to the extent otherwise required by law
or required in connection with an audit or other investigation by the Internal Revenue Service or other taxing authority, or (iii) to the extent that the information contained therein is already public; provided, however,that the Debtor
and its counsel may disclose the contents thereof to its professional financial advisers and counsel and financial advisers for any statutory committee appointed pursuant to section 1102 of the Bankruptcy Code.
