Member of the AFGI Subgroup in a prior Taxable Period or the current Taxable Period pursuant to clause 3(c)(vii)). During any Taxable Period that the AAC Subgroup utilizes any portion of the AFGI NOL Amount to offset income of the AAC Subgroup for
Federal Tax purposes, AAC shall make a payment to AFGI within the time and manner prescribed herein in an amount equal to 25% multiplied by the AAC Notional Federal Tax Amount determined with respect to the AAC Subgroup’s use of such NOLs,
provided that the entire amount of the NOLs comprising the Allocated AAC NOL Amount has been previously subject to subclause 3(c)(i)(2). 

  

	 	(ii)	Allocated AAC NOL Amount following a Deconsolidation Event. Subject to clauses 3(c)(iv) through 3(c)(viii):

Post-Deconsolidation Allocated NOL Amount (to the extent not previously utilized in a prior Taxable Period pursuant to clause 3(c)(i) or this clause 3(c)(ii)). During any Taxable Period that the AAC Subgroup offsets income for Federal Tax purposes
by utilizing any portion of the available Post-Deconsolidation Allocated NOL Amount with respect to any NOL Usage Tier set forth in the NOL Usage Table below (taking into account all prior NOL utilization within each NOL Usage Tier during any
Taxable Period, including any utilization of any portion of the Allocated AAC NOL Amount under clause 3(c)(i)), AAC shall make payments to AFGI within the time and in the manner prescribed herein in an amount equal to (Y) the applicable
percentages with respect to the applicable NOL Usage Tier, multiplied by (Z) the AAC Notional Federal Tax Amount attributable to the utilization of such portion of the Allocated AAC NOL Amount within the applicable NOL Usage Tier or NOL Usage
Tiers, as the case may be.

in an amount up to the Allocated AAC AMT NOL Amount (to the extent not previously utilized in a prior Taxable Period without regard to whether such AMT NOLs were directly or indirectly subject to the payment requirements of this clause 3(c)(iii)) or
(ii) following a Deconsolidation Event, Pre-Determination Date AMT NOLs to offset income for AMT purposes in an amount up to the Post-Deconsolidation Allocated AMT NOL Amount (to the extent not previously utilized in a prior Taxable Period
without regard to whether such AMT NOLs were directly or indirectly subject to the payment requirements of this clause 3(c)(iii)). During any Taxable Period that the AAC Subgroup offsets income for AMT purposes by utilizing any portion of the
Allocated AAC AMT NOL Amount or Post-Deconsolidation Allocated AMT NOL Amount, as the case may be, AAC shall make payments to AFGI within the time and in the manner prescribed hereunder in an amount equal to the excess of (Y) the AAC AMT NOL
Usage Amount over (Z) the AAC Federal Tax Usage Amount. 

  

	 	(3)	AAC AMT NOL Usage Amount. During any Taxable Period that the AAC Subgroup offsets income for AMT purposes by utilizing any portion of the available Allocated AAC
AMT NOL Amount or Post-Deconsolidation Allocated AMT NOL Amount with respect to any NOL Usage Tier or NOL Usage Tiers, as the case may be, set forth in the NOL Usage Table below (taking into account all prior AMT NOL utilization within each NOL
Usage Tier during any Taxable Period), the AAC AMT NOL Usage Amount shall equal (Y) the applicable percentages with respect to the applicable NOL Usage Tier or NOL Usage Tiers, as the case may be, multiplied by (Z) (I) the AAC
Notional AMT Amount attributable to the utilization of such portion of the Allocated AAC AMT NOL Amount or the Post-Deconsolidation Allocated AMT NOL Amount, as the case may be, within the applicable NOL Usage Tier or NOL Usage Tiers, as the case

	 	(v)	AAC Subgroup NOL and AMT NOL Carryforwards and Carrybacks. Solely for purposes of subparagraph 3(c) or any other provision relating to payments under
subparagraph 3(c): 

  

	 	(1)	NOL Carryforwards. It is understood that to the extent that the AAC Subgroup has any available Post-Determination Date NOLs, solely for purposes of determining
the amount of any NOL usage payments due to AFGI from AAC under this Tax Sharing Agreement pursuant to clauses 3(c)(i) and (ii), such Post-Determination Date NOLs shall be treated as being used prior to the utilization of any Allocated AAC NOL
Amount, Post-Deconsolidation Allocated NOL Amount or AFGI NOL Amount.

 Amended and

NOLs (including any such NOLs comprising all or a portion of the Post-Deconsolidation Allocated NOL Amount) are deemed utilized pursuant to subclause 3(c)(iv)(1), an equivalent portion (expressed in U.S. Dollars) of the Allocated AAC NOL Amount
(including any such NOLs comprising all or a portion of the Post-Deconsolidation Allocated NOL Amount), to the extent that the Allocated AAC NOL Amount has not been utilized in a prior Taxable Period, shall be characterized for purposes of
subparagraph 3(c) as arising in the same Taxable Period that such portion of the Post-Determination Date NOLs arose and such portion of the Allocated AAC NOL Amount shall not expire for purposes of this subparagraph 3(c) until the latest Taxable
Period to which such portion of the deemed utilized Post-Determination Date NOLs can be carried forward pursuant to Section 172 of the Code.

	 	(6)	For the avoidance of doubt, none of the provisions in subclauses 3(c)(v)(1), 3(c)(v)(4), or 3(c)(v)(5) shall affect the calculation of the AAC Subgroup’s Separate

	 	(vi)	Cash Grant. The payment of the Cash Grant shall credit against the first $5 million of payments owed by AAC to AFGI in the aggregate with respect to any Taxable
Period under each of NOL Usage Tier A, NOL Usage Tier B and NOL Usage Tier C in clauses 3(c)(i), (ii) or (iii), provided that the sum of credits for all tiers shall not exceed $15 million. 

 

	 	(vii)	AFGI NOL Usage. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Tax Sharing Agreement and solely for purposes of clauses 3(b)(iv) and 3(c)(i) through 3(c)(vii):

  

	 	(1)	AFGI and any AFGI Subsidiary shall be treated as using any available portion of the AFGI NOL Amount prior to the utilization of any Allocated AAC NOL Amount or
Post-Determination Date NOLs. 

  

	 	(2)	(Y) Prior to a Deconsolidation Event, AFGI and any AFGI Subsidiary shall be able to utilize NOLs of the Group (other than any portion of the Allocated AAC NOL Amount
and the Post-Determination Date NOLs, except as provided in subclause 3(c)(vii)(3)) in an amount equal to the AFGI NOL Amount, and (Z) following a Deconsolidation Event, the Group shall be able to utilize the aggregate amount of the
Group’s NOLs, other than the Post-Deconsolidation Allocated NOL Amount and the Post-Determination Date NOLs, in each case, to the fullest extent permitted by the Code without limitation or any requirement to pay or otherwise compensate AAC or
any AAC Subsidiary. 

  

	 	(3)	 Prior to a Deconsolidation Event, and subject to subclauses 3(c)(vii)(1) and (2) above, if AFGI or any AFGI Subsidiary utilizes (Y) any
Allocated AAC NOL Amount to the extent not previously utilized by (I) the AAC Subgroup pursuant to clause 3(c)(i) or (II) any Member of the AFGI Subgroup pursuant to this subclause 3(c)(vii)(3) or (Z) any Post-Determination Date NOLs to
the extent not previously utilized by (I) the AAC Subgroup pursuant to clause 3(c)(iv) or (II) any Member of the AFGI Subgroup pursuant to this subclause 3(c)(vii)(3), AFGI shall pay AAC pursuant to this Tax Sharing Agreement an amount equal to
50% multiplied by the aggregate amount of the AFGI Subgroup’s Federal Tax liability for the Taxable Period for 

  
 Amended and
Restated Tax Sharing Agreement 
  
 19 

	 	
which such NOLs were used that otherwise would have been paid by AFGI, or an AFGI Subsidiary, if such portion of the Allocated AAC NOL Amount or Post-Determination Date NOLs were not available
for its use. Any such use by AFGI and the AFGI Subsidiaries shall be deemed to be a use of the Allocated AAC NOL Amount prior to a use of the Post-Determination Date NOLs. In addition, any Allocated AAC NOL Amount or Post-Determination Date NOLs
used by AFGI or any AFGI Subsidiary pursuant to this subclause 3(c)(vii)(3) are no longer specifically allocated to, or made available for use by, the AAC Subgroup. 

 

	 	(viii)	NOL Usage Table. In the event that the Allocated AAC NOL Amount is less than $3.65 billion or the Allocated AAC AMT NOL Amount is less than $2.934 billion, the
size of each NOL Usage Tier provided in the NOL Usage Table will be reduced proportionally. Such proportionate reduction shall be applied separately to the Allocated AAC NOL Amount and the Allocated AAC AMT NOL Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, if
the Allocated AAC NOL Amount is 10% less than $3.65 billion and the Allocated AAC AMT NOL Amount is 20% less than $2.934 billion, then the size of each NOL Usage Tier within the Allocated AAC NOL Amount will be reduced by 10% as compared to the
representative usage tiers shown above and the size of each usage tier within the Allocated AAC AMT NOL Amount will be reduced by 20% as compared to the representative tiers shown in the NOL Usage Table. 

4. Estimated Tax Payments. No later than two (2) business days prior to the dates specified for payment of estimated tax in
Section 6655 of the Code, each Subsidiary (including the AAC Subgroup) shall pay to Parent an amount equal to the estimated Separate Subsidiary Tax liability of such Subsidiary as required by clauses 3(a)(i) and (ii). 

5. Redeterminations of Tax Liabilities.  
  

	 	(a)	 In General. In the event of any redetermination of any item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit of any member of the Group for any
Taxable Period as a result of an examination by the IRS, any final action by the IRS on an amended return or a claim for refund, the execution of a closing agreement with the IRS or a judicial decision which has become final including, in each case,
any determination relating to whether any party to this Tax Sharing Agreement is properly characterized as being includable in the Group or AAC Subgroup (a “Final Determination”), or in the event of any redetermination of any item
of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit of any member of the Group for any Taxable Period

which is reflected in an application that is filed with the IRS for a tentative carryback adjustment pursuant to Section 6411 of the Code and that results in a payment by the IRS (a
“Carryback Payment”), the Subsidiary Separate Tax, and any other payments required pursuant to subparagraph 3(c), in a manner consistent with this Tax Sharing Agreement with respect to each Subsidiary shall be recomputed for such
Taxable Period to take into account such redetermination (including any penalties or additions to tax) in a manner consistent with such revised treatment, and the payments pursuant to paragraph 3 and any tax attributes shall be appropriately
adjusted. For the avoidance of doubt, any redetermination that occurs in connection with an application filed with the IRS for a tentative carryback adjustment pursuant to Section 6411 of the Code shall not be treated as being a result of a
Final Determination. 

  

	 	(b)	Procedure Relating to Final Determinations. In the case of any adjustment described in the first sentence of subparagraph 5(a) that occurs in connection with a
Final Determination, any payment between Parent and any of the Subsidiaries required by such adjustment shall be paid within seven (7) days of the date of a Final Determination with respect to such redetermination, or as soon as such adjustment
can practicably be calculated, if later. Such payment shall be made together with interest for the period from the due date for tax returns for the Taxable Period for which tax liability was recomputed to the date of payment at the rate provided for
underpayments in Section 6621 of the Code in the case of payments from any Subsidiary to Parent and at the rate provided for overpayments in Section 6621 of the Code in the case of payments to any Subsidiary by Parent.

  

	 	(c)	Procedure Relating to Carryback Payments. In the case of any adjustment described in the first sentence of subparagraph 5(a) that occurs in connection with a
Carryback Payment, any payment between Parent and any of the Subsidiaries required by such adjustment shall be made by wire transfer on the same day that the Carryback Payment is received in immediately available funds from the IRS. Any payment
between Parent and any of the Subsidiaries that is described in the first sentence of this subparagraph 5(c) shall not be accompanied by the payment of any additional amount representing interest. 

 

	 	(d)	Trust. Any Carryback Payment received by Parent and any payment received by Parent from the IRS as a result of a claim for refund of federal tax (any such
payments as a result of claims for refund and any Carryback Payments are referred to collectively as “Recovery Payments”), and any rights (including, without limitation, all general intangibles related thereto and all proceeds
thereof) of Parent to receive a Recovery Payment, shall be held by Parent in trust for AAC to the extent that the amount of the Recovery Payment does not exceed: 

  
 Amended and
Restated Tax Sharing Agreement 
  
 21 

	 	(i)	in the case of a Recovery Payment that is a Carryback Payment, the amount that would, upon receipt of the Recovery Payment, be required to be paid by Parent to AAC
pursuant to subparagraphs 5(a) and 5(c); or 

  

	 	(ii)	in the case of a Recovery Payment that is received by Parent from the IRS as a result of a claim for refund of federal income tax, the amount that would, after the
Final Determination relating to the claim for refund, be required to be paid by Parent to AAC pursuant to subparagraphs 5(a) and 5(b). 

  

	 	(e)	Provisions Relating to Trust. All amounts held by Parent in trust hereunder shall be held in (and, to the extent reasonably practicable, Parent shall cause third
parties to remit such amounts directly to) a segregated account maintained by The Bank of New York Mellon (A) in which Parent shall not deposit, or permit to be deposited, any other amounts (other than earnings on amounts held in trust as
contemplated hereby), (B) the title of which such segregated account expressly states that Parent is the account owner as trustee for the benefit of AAC and (C) with respect to which AAC holds a perfected security interest to the extent
permitted under applicable law. In furtherance of the foregoing, Parent granted to AAC effective as of November 19, 2009 a security interest in such segregated account, all cash balances from time to time credited to such account and all
proceeds of the foregoing. Notwithstanding any provision in this Tax Sharing Agreement to the contrary, the immediately preceding sentence shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Wisconsin, without regard to conflicts of law
principles that provide for the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. 

  

	 	(f)	Security Interest. To the extent that the provisions of subparagraph 5(d) are determined to not establish a trust for the benefit of AAC, Parent shall grant to
the extent permitted under applicable law to AAC effective as of the Effective Date, to secure Parent’s payment and performance of any obligations owed by it to AAC under this Tax Sharing Agreement, a first priority security interest in all
rights (including, without limitation, all general intangibles related thereto and all proceeds thereof) of Parent to receive Recovery Payments to the extent that the amount of the particular Recovery Payment does not exceed:

  

	 	(i)	in the case of a Recovery Payment that is a Carryback Payment, the amount that would, upon receipt of the Recovery Payment, be required to be paid by Parent to AAC
pursuant to subparagraphs 5(a) and 5(c); or 

  

	 	(ii)	in the case of a Recovery Payment that is received by Parent from the IRS as a result of a claim for refund of federal income tax, the amount that would, after the
Final Determination relating to the claim for refund, be required to be paid by Parent to AAC pursuant to subparagraphs 5(a) and 5(b). 

  
 Amended and
Restated Tax Sharing Agreement 
  
 22 

	 	(g)	Further Actions. To the extent permitted under applicable law: (i) Parent agrees to execute and deliver such agreements, instruments, and other documents,
and take such actions, as are reasonably necessary and/or reasonably requested by AAC to protect, perfect, and maintain the perfection of such security interest (including any account control agreement), and hereby authorizes AAC to file any UCC
financing statement or other document in furtherance thereof; (ii) Parent irrevocably appoints AAC and its agents as Parent’s attorney, with power to receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to Parent and to endorse Parent’s
name upon any instruments (including any refund checks) that may come into AAC’s or its agents’ possession, in each case with respect to the collateral pledged hereunder to AAC; (iii) the foregoing power of attorney is coupled with an
interest and may not be revoked by Parent; and (iv) notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the provisions of subparagraphs 5(f) and this subparagraph 5(g) shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of
Wisconsin, without regard to conflicts of law principles that provide for the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. 

 6. Filing of Tax Returns, Payment of Tax, Etc. The provisions of this paragraph 6 shall be subject to Sections 1.08 and 3.01 of the Cooperation Agreement: 

 

	 	(a)	Parent as Agent. Each Subsidiary hereby appoints Parent as its agent as long as such Subsidiary is a Member of the Group or such Subsidiary’s income is
included in the consolidated federal tax return filed by the Group, in each case, for purposes of filing such consolidated federal income tax returns, making any election, application or taking any action in connection therewith on behalf of the
Members of the Group. Each Subsidiary hereby consents to the filing of such returns and the making of such elections and applications. 

  

	 	(b)	Cooperation. Each of the Subsidiaries shall cooperate with Parent in the filing of any consolidated federal income tax returns for the Group by maintaining such
books and records and providing such information as may be necessary or useful in the filing of such returns and executing any documents and taking any actions which Parent may reasonably request in connection therewith. Each Member of the Group
will provide Parent with such information or any powers of attorney concerning such returns and the application of this Tax Sharing Agreement as Parent may reasonably request. 

 

	 	(c)	Payment of Tax. For every Taxable Period, Parent will pay or discharge, or cause to be paid or discharged, the consolidated Federal Tax liability or AMT
liability, including payments of estimated tax, of the Group. 

  
 Amended and
Restated Tax Sharing Agreement 
  
 23 

	 	(d)	Tax and Loss Bonds. To the extent that the purchase of tax and loss bonds is allowable under the Code, and is to the advantage of the Group, such purchase will
be made. 

  

	 	(e)	Elections with Respect to an Adjustment Event or Deconsolidation Event. 

 

	 	(i)	Unified Loss Elections. 

  

	 	(1)	Deconsolidation Event. With respect to any Taxable Period that includes a Deconsolidation Event, AFGI, so long as it is the parent of the Group (or a new common
parent if the Group remains in existence under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-75(d)(3)), shall, subject to the prior review and approval of the Rehabilitator, make valid and timely elections pursuant to Treasury Regulation
Section 1.1502-36, to the extent permitted and provided for thereunder, such that (Y) the NOLs of the AAC Subgroup that exist immediately following such Deconsolidation Event will be an amount equal to the sum of the Post-Determination
Date NOLs existing as of the Deconsolidation Event (to the extent not previously utilized in a prior Taxable Period by the Group) and the Post-Deconsolidation Allocated NOL Amount, and (Z) no reduction in the tax basis of any asset of the AAC
Subgroup will be required pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-36(d)(4)(i)(D) and no reduction in the amount of any deferred deduction will be required pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-36(d)(4)(i)(C).

common parent if the Group remains in existence under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-75(d)(3)), shall, subject to the prior review and approval of the Rehabilitator, make valid and timely elections pursuant to Treasury Regulation
Section 1.1502-36, to the extent permitted and provided for thereunder, such that (Y) the NOLs of the AAC Subgroup that exist immediately following such Adjustment Event will be an amount equal to the sum of the Post-Determination Date
NOLs existing as of the Adjustment Event (to the extent not previously utilized in a prior Taxable Period by the Group) and the Post-Deconsolidation Allocated NOL Amount (determined as if the date of the Adjustment Event were a Deconsolidation
Event), and (Z) no reduction in the tax basis of any asset of the AAC Subgroup will be required

Section 1.1502-36(d)(4)(i)(C). 

  

	 	(ii)	Protective Deconsolidation Elections. With respect to each Taxable Period of the Group, if AAC or the Rehabilitator notifies AFGI, at least thirty (30) days
before the Group tax return is to be filed, that AAC or the Rehabilitator has reasonably determined that there exists uncertainty as to whether or not a Deconsolidation Event or Adjustment Event has occurred during such Taxable Period, AFGI, so long
as it is the parent of the Group (or a new common parent if the Group remains in existence under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-75(d)(3)), shall, subject to the prior review and approval of the Rehabilitator, make such protective elections
or take other similar actions, to the extent permitted by law, so that if such a Deconsolidation Event or Adjustment Event were determined subsequently to have occurred during such Taxable Period, the results contemplated by clause 6(e)(i) would be
achieved to the maximum extent permitted thereunder. 

  

	 	(iii)	Additional Relief. In addition, if AAC or the Rehabilitator believes that a Deconsolidation Event or Adjustment Event may have occurred in a Taxable Period for
which no election or protective election was made pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-36, and if AAC or the Rehabilitator desires to obtain relief from the IRS (whether under Treasury Regulation Section 301.9100 or otherwise)
for the failure to make such an election, AFGI shall reasonably cooperate with AAC and the Rehabilitator in obtaining such relief; provided, however, that (i) any costs incurred in connection with obtaining any such relief shall
be borne solely by AAC and (ii) AFGI is permitted to review and comment on any written materials provided to the IRS with respect to such relief and attend any meetings or participate in any other communication with the IRS.

  

	 	(iv)	Ratable Allocation Election. If a Deconsolidation Event occurs on a date other than the last day of a Taxable Period of the Group, no election under Treasury
Regulation Sections 1.1502-76(b)(2)(ii) or (iii) (a “ratable allocation” election) shall be made in connection with determining the allocation of the items of the AAC Subgroup between the portion of such Taxable Period that ends on

	 	(vi)	AMT Credit Allocation. To the extent permissible under applicable law, upon a Deconsolidation Event AFGI shall allocate to AAC the amount of any unused AMT
credits allocable to any AAC AMT. 

  

	 	(vii)	Termination. AFGI’s obligations to make elections under this subparagraph 6(e) shall terminate upon the occurrence of any event described in clauses
6(d)(iv), (vii) or (viii) of the Cost Allocation Agreement. 

  

	 	(f)	Allocation Methodologies and Tax Assumptions. 

  

	 	(i)	NOL Allocation. The portion of any NOLs generated during the Taxable Period ending December 31, 2011 shall be allocated to either the Pre-Determination Date
NOLs or the Post-Determination Date NOLs on the basis of a deemed closing, as of the end of the Determination Date, of the books and records of the AAC Subgroup and the AFGI Subgroup, in each case, as determined on a Separate Subsidiary Basis.

  

	 	(ii)	Group Tax Assumptions. For purposes of determining amounts of the Group’s NOLs, AMT NOLs, AMT credits, taxable income (including any tax item or attribute
utilized in determining taxable income) or any other amounts or attributes relevant with respect to determining any payable pursuant to this Tax Sharing Agreement, for Federal Tax and AMT purposes (i) the surplus notes issued by AAC in June
2010 will be considered indebtedness issued by AAC for federal income tax purposes, (ii) the aggregate issue price of the surplus notes issued by AAC in June 2010 and subject to a call option letter agreement shall be treated as equal to $232
million and (iii) the aggregate issue price of the remaining surplus notes issued by AAC in June 2010 shall be treated as equal to $1,060 million. 

 7. State and Local Taxes. In the event that any of the Subsidiaries and Parent is required to file, or elects to file, any combined or consolidated (or similar) state or local income or franchise
tax returns or is treated as a member of a unitary group with any Member of the Group, then Parent and any Members of the Group that are required to be included in such returns, or that are requested to be included in such returns by Parent, shall
join in the filing thereof, and Parent’s obligations to make payments to taxing authorities and the Member’s rights to payments from each other shall be determined in a manner as similar as possible to that provided herein for Federal Tax
purposes, except that the use by the AAC Subgroup of net operating losses available for state and local tax purposes will be at no cost to AAC.

 8. Resolution of Disputes. 

 

	 	(a)	Except as provided in subparagraph 8(b), if Parent and any Subsidiary are unable to agree upon the calculation, basis or determination of any payments under this Tax
Sharing Agreement, after good faith discussions in an attempt to resolve such dispute, the dispute shall be referred to a mutually agreed upon independent accounting firm for resolution. The determination of the accounting firm will be made within
sixty (60) days after being selected and shall constitute an arbitral award that is final, binding and non-appealable and upon which a judgment may be entered by a court having jurisdiction thereover and Parent shall pay to such Subsidiary or
such Subsidiary shall to pay to Parent, as the case may be, such amount, if any, within ten (10) days of the accounting firm’s decision. The fees, costs and all other direct or indirect expenses of the accounting firm shall be shared
equally by Parent and the applicable Subsidiary. 

  

	 	(b)	In the event that (i) Parent believes any Subsidiary within the AAC Subgroup (including AAC) or the Rehabilitator to be, or (ii) any Subsidiary within the AAC
Subgroup (including AAC) or the Rehabilitator, solely with respect to paragraph 5 and subparagraph 6(e), believes Parent to be, in material breach of, or otherwise not complying with their respective material obligations under, this Tax Sharing
Agreement, such party shall provide the alleged breaching or non-complying party with a written notice (copied to their last known legal counsel) describing, in reasonable detail, the nature of the alleged breach or non-compliance. Following
delivery of such written notice, the parties shall attempt, in good faith, to resolve their dispute. The party served with a notice of breach or non-compliance shall have thirty (30) days to cure the alleged breach or non-compliance. In the
event that there is no cure and the parties are unable to resolve their dispute, any party alleging such breach or non-compliance may, not less than forty-five (45) days following delivery of such written notice, seek a judgment from the
Rehabilitation Court that the other party has breached this Tax Sharing Agreement. Solely for purposes of resolving such dispute, Parent shall consent to the jurisdiction of the Rehabilitation Court. In the event that the Rehabilitation Court enters
a final, non-appealable order in favor of any party alleging such breach or non-compliance, such party may ask the court to grant such further relief as the court deems appropriate in light of the nature and severity of the breach or
non-performance, including specific performance, termination of the parties’ obligations under this agreement and/or monetary damages.

purposes pursuant to subclause 3(c)(i)(3); 

 or

its Members with respect to any Taxable Period during which each Subsidiary is, or was, a Member of the Group, the Group and each of its Members shall be represented by persons selected by Parent. The settlement and terms of settlement of any issues

 32Employment Agreement between Ambac Assurance Corporation and Diana Adams

 Exhibit 10.40 
 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
 THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the
“Agreement”), by and between Ambac Assurance Corporation, a Wisconsin corporation (the “Company”), and Diana Adams (the “Employee”), is dated as of February 27, 2012 (the “Effective
Date”). 
 WHEREAS, the Company and the Employee wish to enter into an agreement setting forth certain terms and
conditions of the Employee’s continued employment with the Company. 
 NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual
covenants contained herein and other valid consideration, the sufficiency of which is acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 1. Salary. Subject to the Employee’s continued employment, during the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending on March 31, 2013, the Employee’s base salary shall be
$750,000. 
 2. Termination Payments. 
 (a) Termination Payments. In the event of the Employee’s termination of employment by the Company prior to March 31, 2013 for any reason other than pursuant to Section 2(b), the
Employee shall be entitled to the following termination payments (the “Termination Payments”): 
  

	 	(i)	the Company shall pay the Employee a termination payment in an amount equal to $750,000 in a single lump sum on a scheduled payroll date that occurs within sixty
(60) days of the date of such termination; and 

  

	 	(ii)	if the Employee elects to continue coverage under the Company’s group health plans in accordance with the COBRA continuation coverage requirements (where
applicable), the Company will reimburse the Employee for the portion of the premiums for COBRA coverage paid by the Employee during the first 12 months of COBRA coverage following the date the Employee’s employment terminates, with the portion
of the premiums to be paid by the Company being the same as the amount paid by the Company for the same group health insurance coverage for active employees; provided, that the Company receives proof of payment for the monthly COBRA premiums
within thirty (30) days from the date such premium is due; and provided, further, that if COBRA is not applicable, the Company may, subject to the approval of the insurer and the scheme rules in effect from time to time, continue
to provide coverage for the Employee under the private medical insurance plan (if any) in which the Employee participates immediately prior to the date the Employee’s employment terminates for a period of three months following the date the
Employee’s employment terminates; 

 provided, however, that the Company will require that, prior to payment of
any portion of the Termination Payments, the Employee shall within sixty (60) days following the Employee’s termination of employment have executed with all periods of revocation expired a complete release of the Company and its affiliates
and related parties in such form as is reasonably required by the Company. 

  
 1 

 (b) Termination by the Company for Cause. If the Employee’s employment is
terminated by the Company for Cause, then no Termination Payments shall be paid. “Cause” means (i) any act or omission by the Employee resulting or intended to result in personal gain at the expense of the Company or any of its
affiliates; (ii) the improper disclosure by the Employee of proprietary or confidential information or trade secrets of the Company or any of its affiliates; or (iii) misconduct by the Employee, including, but not limited to, fraud,
intentional violation of or negligent disregard for the rules and procedures of the Company or its affiliates (including a violation of the business code of conduct), theft, violent acts or threats of violence, or possession of controlled substances
on the property of the Company or any of its affiliates. The determination of whether Cause exists shall be made by the Company in its sole and absolute discretion. 
 (c) Termination by the Employee. If the Employee voluntarily terminates the Employee’s employment for any reason, then no Termination Payments shall be paid. 

3. No Other Termination Payments; Severance Pay Plan. The Employee is not eligible to participate in the Ambac Severance Pay Plan
during the term of this agreement, and the payments provided for in this Agreement shall be the only payments to which the Employee is entitled upon a termination of employment. Upon the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the Employee shall
become eligible to participate in the Ambac Severance Pay Plan as in effect from time to time if such Plan would otherwise then cover such Employee. 
 4. Notice of Resignation. Given the strategic importance of the position the Employee holds and irreparable harm to the Company and its business opportunities that the Employee’s abrupt
resignation or other voluntary departure would likely cause, in consideration of the compensation commitments set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement, the Employee agrees to provide the Company with thirty (30) days prior written notice
of resignation, retirement or other voluntary termination of the Employee’s employment. The Employee also agrees that because the Employee’s services will be personal and unique and because the Employee will have access to and will be
acquainted with Company confidential information, to the fullest extent permitted by law, this notice provision will be enforceable by injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief, without bond and without prejudice to any other rights
or remedies that the Company may have for breach of this notice provision. The Company reserves the right to exercise its discretion with respect to the duration of this notice period (or any portion of the notice period) but not to extend the
applicable notice period beyond the period specified, to change or remove any of the Employee’s duties, and/or require the Employee to remain away from the Company’s premises, and/or take such other action as determined by the Company to
aid and assist in the transition process associated with the Employee’s departure. During this notice period the Employee must continue to act in a manner consistent with the Employee’s obligations as a Company employee, including but not
limited to the Employee’s duty of loyalty. The Employee understands and agrees that during the thirty (30) day period after the Employee provides the Company with written notice of resignation, the Employee remains an employee of the
Company and is not free to begin employment with another company, absent the Company’s authorized and written consent. The Company also retains the 

  
 2 

 
discretion to waive the notice period (or any portion of the notice period) and consider the Employee’s resignation effective immediately, or some date prior to the end of the notice period.
In this instance, the Company will continue to pay the Employee’s then current base salary for the entire notice period (not to exceed the applicable notice period) pursuant to its regular payroll practices. 

5. Miscellaneous. 
 (a) No Right of Continued Employment. Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon the Employee any right to continue as an employee of the Company or any of its affiliates or to interfere in any
way with any right of the Company to terminate the Employee’s employment at any time. This Agreement does not create a guarantee to the Employee of any compensation or benefits, including without limitation, any bonus payment, other than the
amounts specified in this Agreement. 
 (b) Withholding. All amounts paid to the Employee under this Agreement shall be
subject to withholding and other employment taxes imposed by applicable law. The Employee shall be solely responsible for the payment of all taxes imposed on the Employee relating to the payment or provision of any amounts or benefits hereunder.

 (c) Governing Law. This Agreement is to be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of
New York. 
 6. 409A. If the Employee is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Regulations promulgated thereunder (“Section 409A”), then if any payments due upon a “separation from service” within the meaning of 409A would be considered
“deferred compensation” under Section 409A, all payments of such amounts shall not be paid or commence to be paid on any date prior to the first business day after the date that is six months following the Employee’s separation
from service. 
 The provisions of this Agreement and any payments made herein are intended to comply with, and should be
interpreted consistent with, the requirements of Section 409A. 
 7. Termination. Unless the Employee’s
employment shall terminate prior to March 31, 2013, this Agreement shall terminate on March 31, 2013. Subsequent to that date, the Employee’s employment shall continue to be “at will” and will be subject to such terms and
conditions as determined by the Company in its discretion. 

  
 3 

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Employee and the Company have executed this Agreement as of the date
first written above.
