The Ambac Parties and each Policy Beneficiary, respectively, shall use their or its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and maintain all authorizations, consents, orders and approvals of all Governmental Authorities and officials that may be or become necessary to be made or secured by them or it for the execution and delivery of, and the performance of their or its respective obligations pursuant to this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, and will reasonably cooperate with the other Party in promptly seeking to obtain all such authorizations, consents, orders and approvals. The Ambac Parties and each Policy Beneficiary shall reasonably cooperate with one another to resolve objections, if any, as may be asserted by any Governmental Authority with respect to the Transactions under any Law. In connection therewith, if any Action is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) challenging any of the transactions contemplated hereby as violative of any Law, the Ambac Parties and each Policy Beneficiary that is party to such Action will reasonably cooperate with one another to contest and resist any such Action and to have vacated, lifted, reversed, or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents, or restricts consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including by pursuing all available avenues of administrative and judicial appeal, unless, by mutual agreement, the Ambac Parties and each Policy Beneficiary that is party to such Action decide that litigation is not in their respective best interests. Nothing in this Agreement shall require any Party not otherwise party to such action to commence or

join in any litigation (including any regulatory or administrative proceeding). Nothing contained in this Section 3.02 shall require any Party to waive or release any material benefit, right or remedy of such Party hereunder or under any Ancillary Agreement or otherwise.

Section 3.03. Further Action. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, each of the Parties will use its respective commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary under applicable Law to be taken or done by it in order for it to consummate and maintain the enforceability of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements to which it is (or is contemplated hereby to become) a party, including (i) preparing and filing as promptly as practicable with any Governmental Authority or other third party all documentation to effect all filings, notices, petitions, statements, registrations, submissions of information, applications and other documents necessary to be effected by it and (ii) obtaining and maintaining all approvals, non-disapprovals, consents, registrations, permits, authorizations and other confirmations required to be obtained from any Governmental Authority or other third party that are necessary, proper or advisable in order for it to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements to which it is (or is contemplated hereby to become) a party. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, it shall be the sole responsibility of the Ambac Parties to obtain and maintain, and the Ambac Parties shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and maintain as promptly as practicable, each of the approvals, non-disapprovals, consents, registrations, permits, authorizations and other confirmations set forth on Schedule F hereto. Each Party agrees to execute and deliver such other documents, certificates, agreements and other writings and to take such other actions as may be necessary, or as another Party may request and is commercially reasonable, in each case solely to the extent consistent with the terms and conditions hereof, in order for such first Party to consummate or effectuate expeditiously the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements to which it is (or is contemplated hereby to become) a party to be consummated by it (including, if requested by the Ambac Parties or any Policy Beneficiary, formal revisions or supplements to the documentation relating to any Amended CDSs held by such Policy Beneficiary to reflect the amendments thereto set forth in Section 3.05).

Section 3.04. Further Agreements of the Ambac Parties. From the Closing until all of the AAC Surplus Notes have been paid in full, redeemed or repurchased (whether as scheduled or pursuant to a call or other early redemption), the Ambac Parties agree, for the benefit of the Policy Beneficiaries that hold or (directly or indirectly) beneficially own AAC Surplus Notes and each other holder of AAC Surplus Notes from time to time (other than any Ambac Party or an Affiliate thereof) (collectively, the “Section 3.04 Benefited Parties”), as follows:

(a) At all times after the 120th day after the Closing, at least two members of the board of directors of AAC shall be Unaffiliated Qualified Directors. At all times after the 180th day after the Closing, at least one-third (and, in any event not less than three members) of the board of directors of AAC shall be Unaffiliated Qualified Directors. At the time a statement of qualifications for any nominee for Unaffiliated Qualified Director is delivered to OCI pursuant to the Charter Amendment, the Ambac Parties shall deliver a copy of such statement to each of the Section 3.04 Benefited Parties that has requested such information to provide such Section 3.04 Benefited Parties with an opportunity to provide comments to OCI regarding the qualifications, independence and unaffiliated status of such proposed Unaffiliated Qualified Director. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time at least two members of the board of directors of AAC are Unaffiliated Qualified Directors, those actions specified in this Agreement as requiring the approval of the Unaffiliated Qualified Directors may be taken upon the unanimous approval of such Unaffiliated Qualified Directors. In addition, if at any time fewer than two members of the board of directors of AAC are Unaffiliated Qualified Directors, those actions specified in this Agreement as requiring the approval of the Unaffiliated Qualified Directors may be taken (i) upon the approval of the remaining Unaffiliated Qualified Director (if any) and (ii) if they satisfy the OCI Approval Standard. If at any time AAC has fewer Unaffiliated Qualified Directors than is required by the provisions of this Section 3.04(a), AAC shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to find additional Unaffiliated Qualified Directors, which efforts shall include considering in its sole discretion any potential directors recommended by any Section 3.04 Benefitted Party. Without limiting the foregoing, if at any time the board of directors of AAC does not include the minimum number of Unaffiliated Qualified Directors required by this Section 3.04(a), the sole consequence shall be as set forth in this Section 3.04(a).

(b) The provisions in the Charter Amendment relating to Unaffiliated Qualified Directors shall not be amended in a manner adverse to the Policy Beneficiaries.

(d) Other than as permitted pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.04(e) or Section 3.04(h), AAC and its Subsidiaries shall not write new business (including through any reinsurance or guarantee arrangement or under existing treaties), unless (A) approved by OCI and (B) AAC has a financial strength rating of at least A by S&P and A2 by Moody’s (provided, that if at such time only one such rating organization is in the business of rating financial guarantors, then by such organization), or, if neither S&P nor Xxxxx’x is in the business of rating financial guarantors, then the equivalent rating by any other nationally recognized statistical rating organization (and, in each case, is not on negative watch for downgrade while it has a financial strength rating of A or A2 (or, if applicable, such equivalent thereof)), and except that new business may be undertaken solely by Everspan (for the avoidance of doubt, without any reinsurance or other guarantee by AAC or any other Subsidiary of AAC) using the proceeds of outside capital received by AAC or any of its Affiliates after the Closing and invested in Everspan, if

approved by the board of directors of AAC, including a majority of the Unaffiliated Qualified Directors. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 3.04(d) shall not apply to (X) any recaptures of policies ceded to reinsurers if such recapture is specifically approved by OCI at or about the time of such recapture, (Y) the issuance of a financial guaranty insurance policy or surety bond (A) pursuant to a contractual commitment in effect on the date hereof or (B) pursuant to or in connection with the RMBS Remediation Plan, the SL Remediation Plan, the SA Remediation Plan or any GA Remediation Action, or (Z) any hedging activity that satisfies the OCI Approval Standard.

(e) AAC will not, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries not to, issue, incur or assume any Surplus Notes, policies or other material obligations that are pari passu with or senior to the AAC Surplus Notes (including, without limitation, debt instruments of Affiliates that are structurally senior to the AAC Surplus Notes), other than (subject to Section 3.04(f)) (i) the RMBS Surplus Notes, the SL Surplus Notes and the Other Seg Account Policy Notes, (ii) any other Surplus Notes or policies that satisfy the OCI Approval Standard or are approved by the Rehabilitator or the Rehabilitation Court in satisfaction or partial satisfaction of any liabilities of the Segregated Account, (iii) Surplus Notes, policies or other material obligations in connection with the RMBS Remediation Plan, the SA Remediation Plan, the SL Remediation Plan or any GA Remediation Action, (iv) Surplus Notes, policies or other material obligations issued to AAC or any of its wholly-owned Subsidiaries (other than Ambac UK) that satisfy the OCI Approval Standard, or (v) as permitted pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.04(d) or Section 3.04(h). In addition, the provisions of this Section 3.04(e) shall not apply to the issuance of a financial guaranty insurance policy or surety bond pursuant to a contractual commitment in effect on the Closing Date.

(f) All Surplus Notes shall rank pari passu with or junior to the AAC Surplus Notes. No Surplus Note issued by AAC shall have a scheduled maturity or scheduled principal payment prior to the 10th anniversary of the Closing Date, have an interest rate in excess of 5.1% per annum, or otherwise be on terms materially more favorable to the holders of such Surplus Notes than the AAC Surplus Notes; provided that the existence or absence of transfer restrictions pursuant to section 3(a)(10) or section 4(2) of the Securities Act shall not be considered a more or less favorable term for the purpose of this subsection. No principal or interest payment (other than PIK interest) on any indebtedness ranking junior to the Surplus Notes shall be made until all of the Surplus Notes have been paid in full, repurchased or redeemed or otherwise provided for to the satisfaction of OCI. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, all Surplus Notes shall be approved by OCI.

(g) Intentionally Omitted

(h) AAC will not, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries not to:

(i) solely with respect to AAC, dissolve or liquidate;

(ii) merge, consolidate or amalgamate with any other Person (other than mergers, consolidations or amalgamations between wholly-owned Subsidiaries (other than Ambac UK) of AAC or, where AAC is the surviving entity, between AAC and its wholly-owned Subsidiaries (other than Ambac UK));

(iii) solely with respect to AAC, sell, lease, assign, or otherwise dispose or transfer all or substantially all of its assets in a single transaction or series of related transactions;

(v) make any Restricted Payment in excess of $5,000,000 in the aggregate (for all Restricted Payments by AAC and/or any of its Subsidiaries) per annum; or

(vi) create or suffer to exist any Lien on or over its assets (other than Permitted Liens),

in each case, whether such transaction is with an Affiliate or a non-Affiliate third party; provided that the transactions set forth below shall not be prohibited pursuant to this clause (h):

(A) transactions or payments pursuant to Intercompany Agreements;

(B) recaptures of policies ceded to reinsurers that satisfy the OCI Approval Standard;

(C) Restricted Payments from AAC to AFGI in an amount (1) up to $52 million per annum solely to pay interest on indebtedness of AFGI outstanding as of March 15, 2010, or any indebtedness issued as a result of a restructuring or refinancing thereof and (2) up to $7.5 million per annum solely to pay operating expenses of AFGI; provided that, (x) concurrently with any such Restricted Payment, the total principal amount, including any capitalized interest thereon, of all outstanding Surplus Notes shall be prepaid on a pro rata basis by an amount equal to the amount of such Restricted Payment and (y) such Restricted Payment satisfies the OCI Approval Standard;

(D) for the avoidance of doubt, (i) payment of claims and expenses on or in connection with insurance policies or other insured obligations existing on the Closing Date in the General Account or thereafter issued as permitted by this Agreement, (ii) the Secured Note, including payments thereunder, (iii) the Reinsurance Agreement, including payments thereunder, and (iv) the Cooperation Agreement, including payments thereunder;

(E) (i) obligations under financial guarantees and related policies and obligations existing on the Closing Date in the General Account or thereafter issued as permitted by this Agreement, (ii) investments in accordance with investment guidelines as required by statutory accounting principles and as approved by OCI; provided that AAC’s and each of its Subsidiary’s investment plan and performance shall be reviewed at least annually by the board of directors of AAC and modified as necessary and approved by the board of directors of AAC including a majority of the Unaffiliated Qualified Directors; (iii) dividends or other payments by any Subsidiary of AAC to AAC and (iv) other investments in AAC or any wholly-owned Subsidiary of AAC (other than Ambac UK) pursuant to Intercompany Agreements permitted hereby;

(F) transactions related to and arising from the RMBS Remediation Plan, the SL Remediation Plan, the SA Remediation Plan or any GA Remediation Actions;

(G) bulk cession(s) of liabilities to direct or indirect Subsidiaries together with a transfer of corresponding assets and necessary capital to such Subsidiaries that satisfy the OCI Approval Standard;

(H) transactions not permitted by Section 3.04(h)(iv), (v) or (vi) and not expressly prohibited by, or otherwise contemplated by, subparts (A) through (G) of this Section 3.04(h) if approved by (i) a majority of the Unaffiliated Qualified Directors and (ii) that satisfy the OCI Approval Standard; and

(I) transactions otherwise not permitted by this Section 3.04(h) that satisfy the OCI Approval Standard and, if, after giving effect thereto, AAC has a financial strength rating of at least A by S&P and A2 by Moody’s (provided, that if at such time only one such rating organization is in the business of rating financial guarantors, then by such organization), or, if neither S&P nor Xxxxx’x is in the business of rating financial guarantors, then the equivalent rating by any other nationally recognized statistical rating organization (and, in each case, is not on negative watch for downgrade while it has a financial strength rating of A or A2 (or, if applicable, such equivalent thereof)).

(i) With respect to any financial guaranty insurance policy obligation commuted or CDS terminated pursuant to a Commutation Agreement in respect of which AAC and ACP have been released from all of their respective obligations, the Ambac Parties shall cooperate (without having to incur any material obligation or expenses) with any reasonable requests of any Policy Beneficiary to assist in the restructuring of the underlying insured transactions, including, without limitation, by transferring any voting or consent rights held by any Ambac Party, but only with respect to that portion of the insured obligations that have been commuted or terminated by such Policy Beneficiary, but only to the extent permitted by the applicable transaction documents or, if not permitted and if an Ambac Party is defined as a controlling party, such Ambac Party shall, at such Policy Beneficiary’s expense and at its reasonable request, cooperate to use reasonable endeavors to amend the documents to permit such transfer and shall use reasonable efforts to follow such Policy Beneficiary’s directions.

(j) Other than as set forth on Schedule D-2, no transaction by AAC or any of its Subsidiaries with Affiliates (including any transaction by AAC with any of its Subsidiaries) shall be entered into unless such transaction is (i) pursuant to an Intercompany Agreement and (ii) in accordance with Wis. Stat. §§ 611.61 and 617.21 and Wis. Admin. Code INS § 40.04 (other than with respect to transactions solely among non-insurance Subsidiaries of AAC) and no Material Intercompany Agreement (other than as relates to the RMBS Remediation Plan, the SL Remediation Plan, the SA Remediation Plan or any GA Remediation Action) shall be entered into or amended in any material respect unless approved by a majority of the Unaffiliated Qualified Directors.

(k) The Ambac Parties and their respective Affiliates shall not create any new tax-sharing agreements between or among any of the Ambac Parties, other than the Tax Sharing Agreement, or amend the Tax Sharing Agreement, in each case other than as approved by OCI and a majority of the Unaffiliated Qualified Directors.

(l) With the prior consent of OCI, AAC may purchase, repurchase or call AAC Surplus Notes on a non-pro rata basis pursuant to separate agreements or arrangements between AAC and any holder thereof.

(m) AAC shall not make any distribution, whether in cash, property, securities or a combination thereof (other than payments made with common equity or non-redeemable preferred stock issued by AAC), to the holders of any Surplus Notes (in their capacities as such) or pay, or commit to pay, or directly or indirectly redeem, repurchase, retire, prepay, convert, exchange or otherwise acquire for consideration, or set apart any sum for the aforesaid purpose, any Surplus Note except with respect to all Surplus Notes on a pro rata basis and on the same terms, except as permitted by Section 3.04(l).

Any failure of Ambac UK to comply with the terms of Sections 3.04(d), (e) or (h) of this Agreement shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement to the extent such noncompliance was not directed or caused by AAC or its Affiliates (other than Ambac UK).

Any action expressly permitted by any subsection of this Section 3.04 shall be permitted notwithstanding the terms of any other subsection of this Section 3.04, unless such other subsection expressly prohibits such action.

Section 3.05. Treatment of Policies and Transactions. AAC will not transfer or allocate or seek to have transferred or allocated to the Segregated Account (or any other segregated account) any policy or contract in the General Account except (i) as set forth in Section IV of the Plan of Operation or (ii) for policies or contracts (a) with actual or expected losses that (taken in the aggregate) are material to the General Account or (b) that threaten the financial viability of the General Account, in each case as determined by OCI in its sole and absolute discretion; provided that no such policies or contracts may be so transferred or allocated to a segregated account unless such transfer or allocation (i) satisfies the OCI Approval Standards and (ii) otherwise meets the standards of Wis. Stat. § 611.24. Notwithstanding this Section 3.05 or any other provision of this Agreement, the right, if any, of a holder or beneficiary of a policy or contract to contest the transfer or allocation of such policy or contract to a segregated account on any ground shall not be deemed waived.

Section 3.06. Modifications to Amended CDSs. Effective at the time of the Closing, all of the CDSs issued by ACP benefitting from policies in the General Account that are held by the Policy Beneficiaries (the “Amended CDSs”), including those identified on Schedule I to each applicable Joinder Agreement, are hereby amended pursuant to Section 9(b) of the ISDA Master Agreement for each such CDS (prior to giving effect to the amendment below) to delete, solely for so long as such policies remain in the General Account, the following “Events of Default,” “Termination Events” or “Additional Termination Events” with respect to ACP or AAC as the “Defaulting” or “Affected Party” if specified in the relevant Amended CDS as applicable, it being understood that such amendment shall cease to be effective, and the Amended CDS shall be deemed further modified to reinstate such deleted “Events of Default” “Termination Events” and “Additional Termination Events” in the event the policy related to such Amended CDS has been transferred or allocated to the Segregated Account (or any other segregated account):

(a) Misrepresentation (as specified in Section 5(a)(iv) of the 1992 ISDA Master Agreement);

(b) AAC becoming insolvent in the absence of formal insolvency proceedings (as specified in Section 5(a)(vii) of the 1992 ISDA Master Agreement);

(e) Any “Termination Event,” “Additional Termination Event” or “Event of Default” arising as a result of the commencement or continuation of the rehabilitation of the Segregated Account.

Nothing in this Section 3.06 shall be deemed to limit or impair in any respect OCI’s rights or positions in regards to the Segregated Account or any new segregated account under Chapter 645 of the Wisconsin Statutes.

Section 3.07. No Additional Consideration. AAC has not and will not directly or indirectly pay or cause to be paid any remuneration in the form of cash payments, securities or other property (including supplemental or additional interest, fees, collateral or other credit support or otherwise, but excluding the application of posted collateral in connection with a single CDS transaction that is not a “Commuted Transaction” on the ABS CDO Consideration Schedule or the return of posted collateral to the party having posted such collateral), to any Policy Beneficiary or Affiliate thereof as consideration for or as an inducement to the entering into by such Policy Beneficiary of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, other than (a) the consideration specifically contemplated by this Agreement and/or by the forms of Ancillary Agreements attached hereto and (b) payments to purchase AAC Surplus Notes under separate agreements permitted by Section 3.04(l) and payments of fees and expenses and granting of releases pursuant to agreements granting AAC an option to purchase AAC Surplus Notes. AAC shall not, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any remuneration, whether by way of supplemental or additional interest, fee or otherwise, or grant any security or provide other credit support, to any holder of AAC Surplus Notes as consideration for or as an inducement to the entering into, or consent to, by any holder of AAC Surplus Notes of any amendment, waiver, consent, modification, refunding or refinancing of the AAC Surplus Notes (each, a “Note Amendment”), unless such remuneration is concurrently paid, or security is concurrently granted or other credit support concurrently provided, on the same terms, ratably to each holder of AAC Surplus Notes then outstanding that agrees to such Note Amendment.

Section 3.08. Amendment to Forbearance Agreement. The parties agree that the Forbearance Agreement shall remain in effect, except that clause (a) of the definition of “Termination Event” set forth therein is hereby amended to read as follows:

“(a) The earlier of (i) the date that the Settlement Agreement dated as of June 7, 2010 among the Policy Beneficiaries, AAC, ACP and OCI terminates in accordance with its terms and (ii) immediately following the “Closing” as defined in such Settlement Agreement.”

The foregoing amendment shall become effective upon the occurrence of both (x) the effectiveness of this Agreement and (y) written consent to such amendment by OCI. In addition, immediately following the Closing, the Forbearance Agreement shall be of no further force or effect.

Section 3.09. Reinstatement. If the Commutation Consideration paid to any Policy Beneficiary has been returned to any of the Ambac Parties because it is determined that such Commutation Consideration constituted a voidable preference or fraudulent transfer or conveyance (or otherwise by reason of or in connection with the insolvency, bankruptcy, rehabilitation or reorganization of any Ambac Party), the Commutation Agreement executed by such Policy Beneficiary shall be voided and all rights and remedies of the Ambac Parties and such Policy Beneficiary as they existed immediately prior to the execution of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements shall be reinstated in full.

Section 3.10. Informational Agreements. AAC shall provide (which shall include posting information on its website) the Policy Beneficiaries with the Financial Reporting Packages on a periodic basis as specified in Schedule C. The Ambac Parties shall make each Financial Reporting Package publicly available when delivered (or required to be delivered) pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence (as in effect on the date hereof), except for information set forth in Part II of Schedule C. The information set forth in Part II of Schedule C shall only be provided to a Policy Beneficiary to the extent it enters into (and is not in breach of) a confidentiality agreement in the form of Exhibit H hereto.

Section 3.11. Material Intercompany Agreements. The Ambac Parties represent and warrant that, as of the Closing Date, all Material Intercompany Agreements have been disclosed on Schedule D-1 hereto.

This Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and any other agreements expressly contemplated by this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include the Statement of Intent), constitute the entire agreement among all of the Parties with respect to the Transactions and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, between any Ambac Party on the one hand and any Policy Beneficiary on the other hand with respect to the Transactions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Confidentiality Agreement dated as of September 30, 2009, between AAC and its affiliates and the Policy Beneficiaries shall remain in full force and effect according to its terms.

Section 6.05. Assignment. This Agreement may not be assigned by operation of Law or otherwise without the express written consent of all Parties (which consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of each of the Parties) and any such assignment or attempted assignment without such consent shall be void; provided that this Agreement may be assigned by a Policy Beneficiary without such consent in connection with or as part of a merger, consolidation or sale of substantially all of such Policy Beneficiary’s assets to the Person(s) with whom the Policy Beneficiary is merging or to whom substantially all of such Policy Beneficiary’s assets are being transferred and that (by operation of Law or written instrument of assumption) assumes all obligations of the assignor under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, any transfer that consists solely of Surplus Notes shall not be considered an assignment of this Agreement.

Section 6.06. Amendment and Waiver. This Agreement may not be amended, altered, supplemented, waived or modified except by an instrument in writing signed by, or on behalf of, the Ambac Parties and all of the Policy Beneficiaries; provided that from and after the Closing, Section 3.10 (and, solely for the purpose of Section 3.10, any defined term used therein) may be amended, altered, supplemented, waived or modified by an instrument in writing signed by, or on behalf of, (i) the Ambac Parties and (ii) a majority of the Policy Beneficiaries; provided, further, that from and after the Closing, Section 3.04 (except in the case of any amendment to the first sentence of Section 3.04(f)) (and, solely for the purpose of Section 3.04, any defined term used therein) may be amended, altered, supplemented, waived or modified by (i) an instrument in writing signed by and only by the Ambac Parties, (ii) with the consent of Section 3.04 Benefited Parties holding more than 50% in aggregate principal amount of the AAC Surplus Notes that cast a ballot (disregarding in any such calculation (in both the numerator and the denominator) the principal amount of any AAC Surplus Notes that are beneficially owned by any Ambac Party or any of its Affiliates, or the voting of which any Ambac Party or any of its Affiliates has the right to direct with respect to such amendment, alteration, supplement, waiver or modification) and (iii) approved by OCI. No amendment, alteration, supplement, waiver or modification shall, unless in writing and signed by a Policy Beneficiary, affect the duties or obligations of such Policy Beneficiary under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

Section 6.07. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and except as provided in Section 6.09 and except that the Section 3.04 Benefited Parties are third party beneficiaries of Section 3.04 and the proviso to Section 6.06, nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit, remedy or right of action of any nature whatsoever, arising directly or indirectly out of, based upon, or in any way related to or in connection with this Agreement.

Section 6.08. Rights and Remedies. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that each Party may be irreparably damaged if any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms and that any material breach of this Agreement by another Party may not be adequately compensated by monetary damages alone. Accordingly, in addition to any other right or remedy to which such Party may be entitled, at Law or in equity, it shall be entitled to enforce any provision of this Agreement by a decree of specific performance and to temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of any of the provisions of this Agreement, without posting any bond or other undertaking.

Section 6.09. Several Liability of the Policy Beneficiaries; Releases. (a) The obligations, representations, warranties and covenants of the Policy Beneficiaries under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements shall be several and not joint or joint and several. No Policy Beneficiary shall be liable for any breach of any other Policy Beneficiary.

(b) Each Policy Beneficiary acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any other Policy Beneficiary and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and its Commutation Agreement and with respect to the Restructuring. Each Policy Beneficiary also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any other Policy Beneficiary and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action with respect to the Restructuring, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder, or any other matter relating to any insurance policy issued by AAC for the benefit of such Policy Beneficiary.

(c) Effective automatically upon, and as of, the Closing, each Policy Beneficiary releases (i) each other Policy Beneficiary, (ii) the respective Representatives of each such other Policy Beneficiary (including the Common Advisors) and (iii) to the extent a Policy Beneficiary’s Affiliate (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding any Ambac Party or any of its Affiliates) was involved in the Restructuring, such Affiliate and its Representatives (each party described in (i), (ii) and (iii), a “Released Party”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, and liabilities, joint or several, to which such Released Party may be or become subject under any applicable federal, state or foreign

law (including common law) or otherwise, caused by or arising in any manner out of the formulation, negotiation or implementation of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, the Restructuring or any agreement executed and delivered in connection with the Restructuring or any document furnished under or in connection with any of the foregoing, including the service of any Released Party on any formal or informal negotiating committee or any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in its capacity as a member of any formal or informal negotiating committee (subject to the following proviso, the “Released Matters”); provided, however, that the foregoing release shall not apply with respect to, and the Released Matters shall not include, any particular loss, claim, damage or liability, to the extent that such loss, claim, damage or liability is found in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from such Released Party’s fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence.

Section 6.10. Governing Law and Jurisdiction. Except as provided herein, this Agreement shall be interpreted under and governed by the Laws of the State of New York without giving effect to conflicts of law provisions thereof that would make the law of any other jurisdiction applicable to this Agreement. In the event that there is a dispute between or among the Parties arising under this Agreement, the Parties (i) agree that the exclusive forum to seek remedy shall be to institute a legal proceeding in the courts of the State of New York located in the City and County of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and (ii) hereby expressly submit to the personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts for the purposes thereof and expressly waive any claim of lack of personal jurisdiction and improper venue and any claim that such courts are an inconvenient forum. Each Party hereby irrevocably consents to the service of process of any of the aforementioned courts in any such suit, action or proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the address provided to the Parties in accordance with Section 6.02, such service to become effective 10 days after such mailing.

Section 6.11. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY (I) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (II) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 6.11.

Section 6.12. Fully Negotiated Agreement. Each Party has had the opportunity to negotiate the terms, consult with counsel, and modify the provisions of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements. Therefore, the terms of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements shall be considered and interpreted without any presumption, inference or rule requiring construction or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement against the interests of the drafter of the Agreement. The Ambac Parties acknowledge and agree that each Policy Beneficiary, on the one hand, and the Ambac Parties and their Affiliates, on the other hand, have an arms-length business relationship that does not directly or indirectly give rise to, nor do the Ambac Parties or their Affiliates rely on, any fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship or duty with respect to any Policy Beneficiary. Other than relationships under written engagements, no Policy Beneficiary is advising the Ambac Parties or their Affiliates as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction, as to which matters the Ambac Parties are relying on their own advisors. Any review by or on behalf of any Policy Beneficiary of the Ambac Parties, the Transactions, the other transactions contemplated hereby or other matters relating to such transactions have been performed solely for the benefit of such Policy Beneficiary and its Affiliates and not on behalf of any Ambac Party or its Affiliates. The Ambac Parties further acknowledge that the Policy Beneficiaries or their Affiliates are full service banks or securities firms engaged in a broad range of transactions that may involve interests that differ from the interests of the Ambac Parties and their Affiliates, and that no Policy Beneficiary or Affiliate thereof has any obligation to disclose such interests and transactions to the Ambac Parties.

Section 6.13. Currency. Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, all references to currency, monetary values and dollars set forth herein shall mean United States (U.S.) dollars and all payments hereunder shall be made in United States (U.S.) dollars by wire transfer in immediately available funds.

Section 6.14. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered in multiple counterparts, each of which, when so executed and delivered, shall be an original, but such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument and agreement. A facsimile or Portable Document Format copy of a signature shall have the same force and effect as an original signature.

Section 6.15. Segregated Account. This Agreement is not an obligation of or binding upon the Segregated Account but only AAC acting through the General Account.
