  ZIONS BANCORPORATION RESTATED
 DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN FOR
DIRECTORS
 (Effective July 1, 2003)
  ARTICLE I
 INTRODUCTION
              1.1        Restatement of Existing Plan.  Zions Bancorporation previously established the Zions
Bancorporation Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors effective April 23, 1986 (“Prior Plan”).  The Prior Plan was amended effective as of May 1, 1991.  By this document the Prior Plan is restated and amended to read as set
forth hereafter.
              1.2        Purpose of Plan.  Zions Bancorporation has
established this Plan to provide members of the Board of Directors of Zions Bancorporation and members of the Board of Directors of participating subsidiaries of Zions Bancorporation the opportunity to defer the receipt of compensation paid to them
for their services as members of the respective Boards of Directors until such time as they are entitled to receive the compensation under the provisions of this Plan.  Zions Bancorporation intends to maintain the Plan solely for the foregoing
purpose and to comply at all times with Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.  The Plan will be interpreted in a manner consistent with these intentions.

              2.5        Company means Zions Bancorporation, any successor to Zions Bancorporation, and any subsidiary or
affiliate of Zions Bancorporation which elects, with the approval of Zions Bancorporation, to participate in this Plan.  In the event one or more affiliates or subsidiaries of Zions Bancorporation participate in this Plan, all rights, duties
and responsibilities for operation of this Plan, including all rights reserved to amend, alter, supplement or terminate this Plan, shall remain exclusively with and be exercised solely by Zions Bancorporation, unless specifically allocated by Zions
Bancorporation to one or more of the participating affiliates or subsidiaries.
             2.6        Compensation means the remuneration paid to a Director for the services provided by the Director
to the Company in the capacity as a member of the Board, including remuneration for services on any sub-committee or division of the Board, but excluding (i) any amount paid solely to reimburse the Director for expenses incurred,  and (ii) any
amounts credited as earnings under this Plan.  Deferral elections under this Plan shall be computed on the amount of the Director’s Compensation.
              2.7        Deferral Account means a bookkeeping account established for and maintained on behalf of a

The original effective date is April 23, 1986.

Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.
              2.13        Hardship means an unforeseeable and unanticipated emergency which is caused by an event beyond
the control of the Participant or Beneficiary, and which would result in severe financial hardship to the Participant or Beneficiary if a distribution or revocation of a deferral election were not permitted.  Hardship conditions will be
evaluated in accordance with the terms of Treasury Regulations Section 1.457-2(h)(4).  The Committee will have sole discretion to determine whether a Hardship condition exists and the Committee’s determination will be
final.

manner prescribed by the Committee.  The Hardship request must: (i) describe and certify the Hardship condition and the severe financial need; and (ii) state whether the Participant requests a withdrawal of all or a portion of his vested
Deferral Account to meet the severe financial need.  The Committee will have sole discretion to determine whether a Hardship exists and to determine the appropriate action, if any, provided however, in no event will the Committee approve a
Hardship distribution request for expenses related to any medical condition or expenses related to the death of any person unless the request for distribution is submitted to the Committee and approved by the Committee for Hardship distribution
prior to the date on which the expense is incurred.  The Committee, in its sole discretion, may make exception to the foregoing rule if it determines that the circumstances creating the expense for which reimbursement is sought were not
reasonably foreseeable.  Regardless of whether the Participant desires to reduce or cease any Compensation amounts to be deferred after the Hardship request is made, the Participant will be precluded from deferring Compensation for the
remainder of the Plan Year in which a Hardship is approved by the Committee.

forth in this document, and as further amended from time to time.
              2.18        Plan Year means the Company’s fiscal year, beginning January 1 and ending December
31.
  ARTICLE III
 PARTICIPATION
              3.1        Eligibility.  A Director shall be eligible to participate in the Plan only to the extent
and for the period that the Director continues as a member of the Board and receives Compensation.  An individual who is a Director as of the first day of the Plan Year but who ceases to be a Director during the Plan Year shall continue to
participate in the Plan with respect to any Deferred Compensation Agreements in effect for the Plan Year, but shall terminate participation as of the end of the Plan Year.  The Participant shall not be permitted to enter into any new Deferred

 3

   Compensation Agreements with the Company unless and until the individual again becomes a Director.
              3.2        Participation.  A Director who participates in the Plan may elect to defer the receipt of
Compensation earned by the Director by executing an agreement as described in Section 3.4.  The Director shall make the election in accordance with Section 3.3.  The Company shall withhold amounts deferred by the Participant in
accordance with this election.  The Participant’s deferred amounts shall be credited to the Deferral Account as provided in Article V and distributed in accordance with Article VI.  An election to defer receipt of
Compensation shall continue in effect for a given Plan Year unless the Participant terminates as a Director.
              3.3        Election Procedure.  The Director shall elect to defer Compensation under an agreement
described in Section 3.4 by executing a Deferred Compensation Agreement on the form and in the manner prescribed by the Committee.  The Agreement must be properly completed, signed and delivered to the Company prior to the first day of the
Plan Year for which Compensation shall be earned, provided however, that an individual who becomes a Director for the first time on or after the first day of a Plan Year shall be permitted to make an election to defer Compensation that will be
earned on and after the date of the Director’s appointment to the Board by executing a Deferred Compensation Agreement no later than five (5) days after the effective date of the appointment.
              3.4        Deferred Compensation Agreement.  A Deferred Compensation Agreement shall remain in effect
for the Plan Year and for all subsequent Plan years until amended or revoked by the Participant or terminated by the Company as provided in Section 3.5.  The Deferred Compensation Agreement shall be applicable only to Compensation as defined in
this Plan and (except for Compensation earned in the first Plan Year by a newly appointed Director) which is earned after the date on which the Agreement is effective.  The Agreement shall define the amount of Compensation that shall be
deferred for the Plan Year, and for all subsequent Plan Years.  The minimum deferral percentage which may be elected by a Director shall be five percent (5%) and all deferral percentages shall be in five percent (5%) increments.  The
Committee may, in its discretion, establish a greater minimum deferral percentage amount or incremental deferral percentage for any given Plan Year.
             3.5        Irrevocable Election.  A Participant’s Deferred Compensation Agreement for a given
Plan Year cannot be amended by the Participant and, except as provided in this Section 3.5, is irrevocable.  A Participant shall be permitted, prior to the commencement of each subsequent Plan Year following execution of the Deferred
Compensation Agreement, to amend the deferral amount applicable to the Participant’s Compensation or to revoke the Deferred Compensation Agreement entirely.  The amendment or revocation shall be effective only as of the first day of the
next following Plan Year and shall be accomplished by execution of a new Deferred Compensation Agreement, which shall supersede all previously executed Agreements.  The Company reserves the right to modify any Deferred Compensation Agreement to
reflect a change in Plan provisions or for administrative convenience.
              A Participant’s election to defer Compensation
under the Deferred Compensation Agreement shall become null and void upon the Participant’s termination or retirement from the Board.  No 
  4

   Compensation that may be payable after the Participant terminates or retires from the Board and otherwise would be subject to such Agreements shall be deferred under this
Plan.
  ARTICLE IV
 COMPANY CONTRIBUTIONS
              4.1        No Company Contributions.  The Company shall not make or credit any additional
contributions to the Plan beyond the amounts determined under each Participant’s Deferral Compensation Agreement.
              4.2        Vesting.  A Participant’s interest in (i) the Compensation deferred to his or her
Deferral Account pursuant to Sections 3.2 through 3.4 of the Plan and (ii) any earnings credited to the Participant’s Deferral Account pursuant to Section 5.6 of the Plan, shall be at all times fully vested and  nonforfeitable.

ARTICLE V
 PARTICIPANT ACCOUNT BALANCES
              5.1        Establishment of Accounts.  The Committee may select an independent record keeper (who may
be an affiliate of the Company) to establish and maintain a Deferral Account on behalf of each Participant.  Contributions and net income (or losses) will be credited to each Deferral Account in accordance with the provision of this
Article.
              5.2        Bookkeeping.  Deferral Accounts will be primarily
for accounting purposes and will not restrict the operation of the Plan or require separate earmarked assets to be allocated to any account.  The establishment of a Deferral Account will not give any Participant the right to receive any asset
held by the Company in connection with the Plan or otherwise.
              5.3        Crediting Deferred Compensation.  Amounts deferred by a Participant will be credited to the
Participant’s Deferral Account no later than the first business day of the calendar quarter following the date as of which the amount would have been paid to the Participant absent a Deferred Compensation Agreement.  This Plan is a
restatement of the Prior Plan and includes and accounts for all amounts previously deferred under the Prior Plan.  The amounts previously credited under the Prior Plan and the Investment Funds to which the credit amounts apply as of the
Effective Date (July 1, 2003) for all Participants in the Plan as of the Effective Date are shown on Appendix I attached to this Plan.
              5.4        Establishment of Investment Funds.  The Committee shall establish two (2) Investment Funds
which will be maintained for the purpose of determining the investment return to be credited to a Participant’s Deferral Account.  As of the Effective Date the Investment Funds shall consist of an Employer Securities Investment Fund and a
Guaranteed Income Investment Fund.  The Committee may change from time to time the number, identity or composition of the Investment
 5

   Funds or discontinue the availability of any Investment Fund.  The investment vehicle for the Guaranteed Income Investment Fund shall be determined solely in the
discretion of the Committee.
              Pursuant to rules adopted by the Committee each Participant will indicate the Investment Fund
or Funds to which contributions under Section 5.3 and any existing Deferral Account balance are to be credited.  Investment Fund elections by Participants must be made in five percent (5%) increments and at such times and in such manner as the
Committee will specify.  A Participant may change his or her Investment Fund at any time and in such manner as the Committee may specify.  Each Participant shall be provided from time to time with the investment “results” of the
selected Investment Funds.  The Company’s liability to the Participant for amounts in the Deferred Compensation Account will include gains and losses attributed to the Investment Funds selected by the Participant.
              5.5        Crediting Investment Results.  A Participant’s Deferral Account balance will
be increased or decreased to reflect investment results, as they occur.  Deferral Accounts will be credited with the investment return of the Investment Funds in which the Participant elected to be deemed to participate.  The credited
investment return is intended to reflect the actual performance of the Investment Funds net of any investment or management fees.  Nevertheless, no provision of this Plan shall be interpreted to require the Company to actually invest any
amounts in any particular fund, whether or not such fund is one of the Investment Funds available for selection by Participants  in the Plan.
              5.6        Notification to Participants.  The Committee shall notify each Participant with respect to
the status of the Participant’s Deferral Account as soon as practicable after the end of each Plan Year.  Neither the Company nor the Committee to any extent warrants, guarantees or represents that the value of any Participant’s
Deferral Account at any time will equal or exceed the amount previously allocated or contributed thereto.
             5.7        Employer Securities.  The Employer Securities in the Employer Securities Investment Fund
shall consist of common stock issued by Zions Bancorporation which is readily tradeable on an established securities market.  Noncallable preferred stock shall be deemed to be “Employer Securities” if such stock is convertible at any
time into stock which constitutes “Employer Securities” hereunder and if such conversion is at a conversion price which (as of the date recorded and booked by the Plan) is reasonable.  Preferred stock shall be treated as noncallable
if after the call there will be a reasonable opportunity for a conversion which meets the above requirement.
  6

   ARTICLE VI
 DISTRIBUTION OF ACCOUNTS
              6.1        Distribution upon Termination or Retirement from the Board.  A Participant who terminates
or retires from the Board shall receive his vested Deferral Account in the manner elected by the Participant from either of the distribution options available under the Plan.  An election regarding manner of payment of the Participant’s
Deferral Account balance (including all future years’ contributions) shall be made at the time the Participant first commences participation in the Plan and may be amended thereafter at the election of the Participant, provided that any
amendment will only be valid if made concurrent with the Participant’s most recent election to defer Compensation under Section 3.3 or concurrent with the Participant’s amendment of his or her Deferred Compensation Agreement under Section
3.5.  An election in any subsequent Deferred Compensation Agreement regarding the time and manner of payment of the Participant’s Deferral Account which alters a prior election shall supersede the prior election and shall apply to all
amounts in the Participant’s Deferral Account which have accrued and continue to accrue in the Deferral Account until altered by a later election providing for a different time or manner of payment.
                          (a)        Time of
Payment.  A Participant’s vested Deferral Account balance shall be paid (or commence to be paid) no later than forty-five (45) days following the date of termination or retirement from the Board.
                           (b)        Manner of
Payment.  A Participant’s vested Deferral Account will be paid in a lump sum cash payment, or if the Participant has elected to receive payments in substantially equal installments, then over a period of four (4) years.  If no
election has been made by the Participant, the Deferral Account will be paid in a lump sum.
                           (c)        Lump Sum Value of
Deferred Account Balance.  The value of a Participant’s Deferral Account to be distributed in a lump sum shall be determined as of the date the  payment is made.
                           (d)        Calculation of
Installment Amounts.  To the extent payment is made in annual installments, the amount of the annual installment for a particular calendar year shall be determined by valuing the Participant’s Deferral Account as of the last day of the
previous year, after all charges and adjustments for gains and losses through that date..  Future installments shall be determined each subsequent calendar year in the same manner and shall be adjusted to take into account the value of the
Participant’s Deferral Account as of the end of each previous calendar year and the number of remaining years over which the installments payments are to be made.  In the final calendar year (or in any earlier calendar year, if applicable)
the installment payment shall be adjusted to reflect any earnings or losses on the Participant’s Deferral Account in the year of payment, if the effect of continuing payments would be to exhaust the Participant’s Deferral Account prior to
final payment.  Any excess in the Participant’s Deferral Account at the final payment shall be made with the final payment.
 7

               6.2        Distribution Upon Death.  In the event a
Participant dies prior to receiving all of his or her vested Deferral Account, the Participant’s Beneficiary shall receive the unpaid portion of the Participant’s Deferral Account in the form of a lump sum cash payment or in substantially
equal installments over a period of four (4) years, according to the previous election of the Participant under Section 6.1.  Payment shall commence no later than forty-five (45) days after the Participant dies and the Committee has been
provided with written proof of the Participant’s death.  If distribution is made in a lump sum, then for purposes of this Section 6.2, the value of a Participant’s Deferral Account to be distributed shall be determined as of the
date the payment is made, and shall be credited with earnings through such date.  In the case of a Participant who dies while employed with the Company, the Deferral Account shall be credited with any deferred amounts that would have been
credited to the account if the Participant had continued employment with the Company through such date.
              6.3        Cash Payments Only.  All distributions under the Plan will be made in cash by
check.
              6.4        Disability.  For the purposes of Sections 6.2 and 6.3,
in the event of a Participant’s Disability, the Participant will be considered to have separated from employment as of the first day the Participant first becomes eligible for benefits under the Company’s long-term disability plan as then
in effect.
              6.5        Distribution Upon Hardship.  In the event a
Participant is entitled to receive a distribution on account of hardship, the distribution shall be made in the form of a lump sum cash payment.  Payment shall commence as soon as administratively feasible after the Participant’s request
for hardship distribution has been approved by the Committee.
 ARTICLE VII
 PLAN ADMINISTRATION
              7.1        Plan Administrator.  This Plan shall be administered by the Committee, which will be the
Plan Administrator.  The Committee members shall be appointed by and serve at the pleasure of the Board.
              7.2        Administration of the Plan.  The Committee shall have the sole authority to control and
manage the operation and administration of the Plan and have all powers, authority and discretion necessary or appropriate to carry out the Plan provisions, and to interpret and apply the terms of the Plan to particular cases or circumstances. 
The Committee may also select and appoint such advisors, consultants and legal counsel as the Committee shall deem appropriate to aid it in carrying out its responsibilities and duties.  All decisions, determinations and interpretations of the
Committee will be binding on all interested parties, subject to the claims and appeal procedure necessary to satisfy the minimum standard of ERISA Section 503, and will be given the maximum deference allowed by law.  The Committee may delegate
in writing its responsibilities as it sees fit.
  8

               Committee members who are Participants will abstain from voting on any Plan matters that relate
primarily to themselves or that would cause them to be in constructive receipt of amounts credited to their respective Deferral Account.  The Board will identify three or more individuals to serve as a temporary replacement of the Committee
members in the event that all three members must abstain from voting.
              7.3        Indemnification.  The Company will and hereby does indemnify and hold harmless any of its
employees, officers, directors or members of the Committee who have discretionary or administrative responsibilities with respect to the Plan from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, expenses and liabilities (including reasonable
attorneys’ fees and amounts paid, with the approval of the Board, in settlement of any claim) arising out of or resulting from the implementation of a duty, act or decision with respect to the Plan, so long as such duty, act or decision does
not involve gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of any such individual.
             7.4        Claims Procedure.  A Participant or his Beneficiary (the “Claimant”) may file a
written claim for benefits under the Plan with the Committee.  Within sixty (60) days of the filing of the claim, the Committee shall notify the Claimant of the Committee’s decision whether to approve the claim.  Such notice shall
include specific reasons for any denial of the claim.  Within sixty (60) days of the date the Claimant was notified of the denial of a claim, the Claimant may appeal the Committee’s decision by making a written submission containing any
pertinent information.  Any decision not appealed within such sixty (60)-day period shall be final, binding and conclusive.  The Committee shall review information submitted with an appeal and render a decision within sixty (60) days of
the submission of the appeal.  If it is not feasible for the Committee to render a decision on an appeal within the prescribed sixty (60)-day period, the period may be extended to a one hundred twenty (120)-day period.
  ARTICLE VIII
 AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION
              8.1        Authority to Amend Plan Termination.  The Committee has the power and authority in its sole
discretion to adopt amendments and make further changes to the Plan, to the extent that:
              (a)        the amendment or change is designed to clarify a provision or provisions of the Plan;
or
              (ii)        the amendment is designed or intended to maintain or to bring
the Plan into compliance with applicable Federal or state law; or
              (c)        the  amendment will not create or result in a significant increase in the cost to the
Company or any subsidiary thereof of maintaining or operating the Plan or have a material, substantive effect on the rights or obligations of the Company or any subsidiary thereof with respect to the Plan.
 9

               8.2        Residual Authority to Amend or Terminate the
Plan.  Any amendment to the Plan which would create or result in a significant increase in the cost to the Company or any subsidiary thereof to maintain or operate the Plan,  which would have a material, substantive effect on the
rights or obligations of the Company or any subsidiary thereof, which would decrease or substantially or materially increase the benefits of any Director, Participant or Beneficiary, or which is not permitted to be made by the Committee under
Section 8.1 must be adopted or ratified by the Board.
              The Board has sole authority to terminate the Plan in its entirety,
which it may do at any time and for any reason.  No termination of the Plan will reduce or eliminate any Participant’s Deferral Account balance as of the date of the termination or any other date.  Upon termination of the Plan, each
Participant’s Deferral Account shall be distributed to the Participant at the times and in accordance with the distribution rules set forth in Article VI.
  ARTICLE IX

MISCELLANEOUS
              9.1        Funding Arrangements.  The Committee
shall determine the amounts it deems necessary or appropriate to fund the Company’s obligation to pay Deferral Accounts.  Such amounts shall be held in trust by a trustee selected by the Committee, and shall be earmarked to pay benefits
under the terms of the Plan.  The Committee will direct the Company to make periodic contributions to the trust at such times and in such amounts as the Committee deems appropriate.
              Trust assets cannot be diverted to, or used for, any purpose except payments to Participants and Beneficiaries under the terms of the Plan or, if
the Company is Insolvent, to pay the Company’s creditors.  Participants and Beneficiaries will have no right against the Company with respect to the payment of any portion of the Participant’s Deferral Account, except as a general
unsecured creditor of the Company.
             9.2        Nonalienation.  No benefit
or interest of any Participant or Beneficiary under this Plan will be subject to any manner of assignment, alienation, anticipation, sale transfer, pledge or encumbrance, whether voluntary or involuntary.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Committee will honor community property or other marital property rights, but only to the extent required by law.  Such rights shall not extend to the recognition of any order which attempts to divide, alienate or otherwise execute or levy on
any Deferral Account and which is issued in connection with or as a result of any domestic relations proceeding, no matter the nature of or basis for the order.  Prior to distribution to a Participant or Beneficiary, no Deferral Account balance
will be in any manner subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements or torts of the Participant or Beneficiary.  Assets held in trust to fund this Plan may, however, be diverted to pay the Company’s creditors, if the Company is
Insolvent.
  10

               9.3        Limitation of Rights.  Nothing in this
Plan will be construed to give a Participant the right to continue as a member of any Board or at any particular position or to interfere with the right of the Company to terminate a Participant from the board at any time and for any
reason.
              9.4        Governing Law.  To the extent that state law applies,
the provisions of this Plan will be construed, enforced and administered in accordance with the laws of the state of Utah, except to the extent pre-empted by ERISA.
              IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Committee, acting on behalf of the Company under authority duly and specifically granted by the Board, has executed this Zions
Bancorporation Deferred Compensation Plan as of the 28th day of July, 2003.
