	5.	Accrued Obligations 

 Ambac will timely pay you for any unreimbursed business expenses incurred by you for the period through the Retirement Date in accordance with its normal business expense reimbursement policy, provided, that all of your reimbursable
business expenses are submitted in accordance with Ambac’s business expense reimbursement policy. Such reimbursement(s), if any, shall be paid in accordance with Ambac’s normal practices and procedures. 
 Ambac will continue to provide you with and timely pay for all tax consulting and return preparation services of Grant Thornton for both U.K.
and U.S. income tax purposes in respect of all periods through and/or which include December 31, 2009, in connection with your employment in both the U.K. and the U.S. As previously agreed, Ambac will also cover the cost (by timely paying or
reimbursing you) for your own accountants’ review of Grant Thornton’s work up to $25,000, with such obligation to survive the date of December 31, 2009 and any revocation or cancellation of this Agreement. 
  

	6.	Welfare Benefits 

  

	 	(a)	Through June 30, 2010, you will continue be eligible to participate in all medical, dental and prescription drug programs available to Ambac’s full-time
employees in accordance with the terms of such programs. You will be required to make premium contributions as applicable to all full-time employees with like coverage. If you obtain and commence alternative coverage, you are required to advise
Ambac and terminate the Ambac coverage. During the period through the Retirement Date, you will also continue to receive and participate in all other insurance and employee benefits consistent with past practice. 

  

	 	(b)	On and after July 1, 2010, you will be entitled to receive continuation coverage pursuant to Ambac’s retirement benefits as detailed in Exhibit B
attached hereto. 

  

	 	(c)	Nothing herein contained shall limit any of your rights to elect continuation coverage under Section 4980 (f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(relating to “COBRA” coverage). 

  

 3 

 

 
  

	7.	Retirement Benefits 

 Through and including the Retirement Date, Company-match and profit-sharing contributions will be credited on your behalf to the Ambac Savings Incentive Plan in accordance with the terms and conditions of such plan at substantially the same
time(s) that the Company funds such contributions for its other employees, regardless of when paid (it being understood that all or a portion of such contributions may be funded on your behalf after the Retirement Date). 
  

	8.	Other Benefits 

 Ambac
will pay you all vested amounts, if any, due but not previously paid to you, pursuant to the terms of any welfare, deferred compensation or other benefit plan as of the Retirement Date, or which by their terms extend to or beyond the Retirement
Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amount due under the Non-Qualified Savings Incentive Plan will be paid to you no sooner than six months and one day from the Retirement Date. 
 Inasmuch as it is and has been the expressed mutual intention of the parties that your entering into this Agreement shall not affect any or
all of your rights under that certain Amended and Restated Management Retention Agreement, dated as of 2007, between you and Ambac (the “Management Retention Agreement”), it is agreed that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in this Agreement, in the event that there shall be a Change of Control of Ambac on or prior to the Retirement Date, as such term “Change in Control” is defined in the Management Retention Agreement, or there shall be a proposed or pending
Change in Control of Ambac reported in any newspaper of general circulation or business publication on or before the Retirement Date, you shall have the right (but not the obligation) to rescind and cancel your retirement and this Agreement,
together with the related Waiver and General Release Agreement (the form of which is set forth in Exhibit A), as if neither such document had ever been executed (i.e., and such that you shall have no further obligations hereunder or thereunder), and
as if your employment had continued in the ordinary course through such date, whereupon the parties hereto shall then promptly cooperate and negotiate, in good faith, a written agreement between them, effective as of such date, such that your
employment with Ambac shall further continue in a manner substantially consistent with past practice and so as to afford you the ability to fully participate in (i.e., and not deprive you from) all of the benefits to which you would otherwise be
entitled under the Change in Control Agreement should the Change in Control be (or have been) consummated. In furtherance of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that the forfeiture and reimbursement provisions of the first paragraph of
Section 4 above would not apply to or with respect to any rescission and/or cancellation by you of this Agreement pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph. 
  

 4 

 

 
 In the event of your death or disability prior to the date any or all payments or benefits under
this Agreement shall be paid or become payable to you, all such benefits and payments shall instead be paid by Ambac to your heirs, executors, administrators, trustees, legal representatives, successors or assigns, as applicable. 
  

	9.	Stock Options and Restricted Stock Units 

 All of your outstanding stock options, as set forth in Exhibit C hereto, will vest on the Retirement Date. The terms of the 1997 Equity Plan as Amended and the General Terms and Conditions of the
respective stock option grants shall govern. Any vested options not exercised within the time frame(s) set forth in the above documents will be forfeited. 
 All restricted stock units, as set forth in Exhibit C hereto, will vest on the Retirement Date. All restricted stock units will be settled six months and one day following the Retirement Date. The terms
of the 1997 Equity Plan as Amended and the General Terms and Conditions of the respective restricted stock unit grants shall govern. 
  

	10.	Return of Property 

 The
parties hereby mutually acknowledge that any Ambac property in your possession and any property made available to you in connection with your employment relationship with Ambac has heretofore been returned by you to Ambac. 
  

	11.	Confidentiality & Competition 

 In consideration for the payments described above, you agree to the following: 
  

	 	(a)	Ambac (for purposes of this Section 11, Ambac refers to Ambac and all of its affiliates) is engaged in a highly competitive business and that, in connection with
your employment, you have access to information relating to Ambac’s business that provides Ambac with a competitive advantage, that is not generally known by persons not employed by Ambac, and that could not easily be determined or learned by
someone outside Ambac (collectively, “Confidential Information”). Subject to the foregoing, such Confidential Information may include, but is not limited to, the characteristics and preferences of Ambac’s “Customers”
(as defined below) and accounts, matters relating to information, pricing, fee and commission structures, trading policies and procedures, trade secrets, records, files, memoranda, documents, reports, and other written, printed or recorded materials
and data, regardless of data storage method (collectively “Documents”) received, created, or used by you during the course of your employment and other methods of doing business, whether or not marketed as confidential or secret. As
used herein, “Customer” shall mean all clients and actively pursued prospective clients of Ambac with whom or which you actively worked during the period of your employment with Ambac. 

  

 5 

 

 
  

	 	(b)	You agree that before and after the Retirement Date, you shall not, directly or indirectly, use or disclose such Confidential Information, except as may be necessary in
the good faith performance of your duties to Ambac. You acknowledge that all Confidential Information will remain the sole property of Ambac and all such documents (if any, that have not yet been returned by you to Ambac) constituting Confidential
Information, other than intellectual knowledge, will be returned by you to Ambac within five business days of the Retirement Date. The terms and conditions of this Section 11(a) and (b) are in addition to and do not supersede or replace
the terms and obligations of Ambac’s Code of Business Conduct. 

  

	 	(c)	You further agree that from the Agreement Date through the six-month anniversary of the Retirement Date (i.e., through June 30, 2010), you will not, for any
reason, unless Ambac consents in writing, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, (i) solicit the business of or encourage or assist any other party in competition with Ambac to solicit any such Customer of Ambac in
connection with the municipal bond insurance business, or (ii) assist any party engaged in municipal bond insurance with raising capital for such municipal bond insurance business, or seeking a rating for such municipal bond insurance business
from a Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Agency, or (iii) hire or seek to hire, whether on your own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity, any person who is an employee of Ambac at the Retirement Date, or who left the employ
of Ambac within three months prior to such date unless such person was terminated by Ambac. 

 Paragraph
11(c) and the associated restrictions contained herein shall supersede and cancel any similar restrictions contained in any and all documents relating to Ambac’s stock options and/or restricted stock units, and Ambac hereby waives any
objections thereto. 
 If you breach the terms of this Section 11(c), you forfeit your right to future payments provided for
herein from the date of such breach, and, to the extent any payments have been made, you agree to return all payments made pursuant to this Agreement including, but not limited to, the gross payments provided for in paragraph 2. The return of the
aforementioned payments must be made within ten business days of the breach of this Section 11(c). 
  

 6 

 

 
  

	 	(d)	In the event that (A) the Wisconsin Office of the Commissioner of Insurance: (i) appoints a custodian, trustee, agent or receiver for Ambac Assurance
Corporation (“AAC”) or for all or any material portion of its Property or (ii) authorizes the taking of possession by a custodian, trustee, agent or receiver of AAC (or the taking of possession of all or a substantial portion of
AAC’s property), or (B) Ambac abandons efforts to recapitalize and launch Everspan Financial Guarantee Corporation, the provisions of this Section 11 will become null and void, except solely for the provisions of the second paragraph
of this Section 11(c) which shall remain in full force and effect. In view of the nature of Ambac’s business, you also acknowledge that the restrictions contained in this Section 11 are fair, reasonable and necessary to protect the
legitimate business interests of Ambac and that Ambac may suffer irreparable harm in the event of any actual or intended violation by you of this paragraph. You, therefore, agree that, in the event of any actual or intended violation by you of
Section 11(b) or 11(c), Ambac shall be entitled to apply for a court order requiring you to cease any such violations in addition to and without prejudice to any other rights or remedies which may be available to Ambac through the legal
system. 

  

	 	(e)	You shall not be deemed to be in breach of any covenant set forth in this Agreement on the basis of any communications you may have with third parties relating to:
(i) the fact and circumstances of your employment and Retirement by/from Ambac; (ii) your job titles at Ambac; (iii) the dates of your employment by Ambac; (iv) the responsibilities and authorities of your positions at Ambac;
(v) the nature and extent of your achievements during employment by Ambac; (vi) the names and positions of individuals with whom you worked during your employment at Ambac; and (vii) the restrictions on your post-Retirement date
employment activities. You hereby authorize Ambac to provide the information responsive to items (i) through (iv) and (vi) to prospective employers. 

  

	 	(f)	You shall not be deemed in breach of the confidentiality obligations set forth in this Section 11 if, compelled by legal process or court order, you are to
participate in any administrative, judicial or criminal investigation, probe, grand jury proceeding or other demand for testimony, information or documentation. 

  

 7 

 

 
  

	 	(g)	In the event of any breach of this paragraph 11, Ambac shall provide you with written notice (to the address set forth on page one of this Agreement) and you will have
ten business days from the date of receipt of said written notice to cure any curable breach. If you fail to cure any such breach or the breach is not curable, Ambac shall be released from any obligation to make any payment to you or on your behalf
and provide any benefits, other than retirement benefits, under this Agreement. Ambac shall be further entitled to pursue any and all of its remedies under the law arising out of such breach including, but not limited to, recoupment as outlined in
Section 11(c). In any action alleging breach of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable costs and/or attorneys’ fees incurred to enforce this Agreement. Upon written request, you will promptly receive
Ambac’s determination, made in good faith, in writing regarding whether a particular activity or act would be deemed in breach of your obligations and/or covenants under this Agreement.

 EXHIBIT 10.1 
 FIFTH AMENDMENT 
 TO THE 
 RESTATED AND AMENDED 
 ZIONS BANCORPORATION 
 PENSION PLAN 
 This Fifth Amendment to the restated and amended Zions Bancorporation Pension Plan (the “Plan”) is made and
entered into this 29th day of September, 2008, by Zions
Bancorporation, hereinafter referred to as the “Employer.” 
 W I T N E S S E T H: 
 WHEREAS, the Employer has heretofore entered into the Plan, which Plan has been restated and amended in its entirety effective
January 1, 2001, and 
 WHEREAS, the Employer has reserved the right to amend the Plan in whole or in part, and 

WHEREAS, the Employer now desires to amend the Plan for the purpose of maintaining the Plan’s qualification under Internal Revenue
Code §417(e)(3) (providing for the determination of the present value of certain benefit distribution options) and complying with the requirements of the determination letter issued by the Internal Revenue Service on Aug. 25, 2008, 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and mutual covenants herein contained, the Employer adopts the following
amendments to the Plan (amended language is marked in bold italics): 
 1. Section 1.4(a) is amended by
adding the following at the end thereof: 
 Unless specifically provided otherwise in this Plan, the value
of a benefit payable in any other non-annuity form shall be determined by applying the Actuarial Equivalence factors specified for lump sums in (ii) above. 

 2. The last sentence in Section 5.7(f)(2) is amended to read as follows: 
 The amount of the adjustment to the Sumitomo Participant’s benefit shall be calculated using the factors in Appendix III
of the Sumitomo Plan, provided that in no event shall value of the benefit payable under this sub-section ever be less than that determined by applying the Actuarial Equivalence factors for lumps sum payments described in Section
1.4(a)(ii). 
 3. This Fifth Amendment shall be effective January 1, 2001, and for Plan Years commencing after that
date. 
 4. In all other respects the Plan is ratified and approved. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Employer has caused this Fifth Amendment to the Plan to be duly executed as of the date and year first above
written.
