        <footnote id="F1">These shares are issuable in respect of restricted stock units that represent a portion of the reporting person's salary, net of withholdings and deductions, and that were issued under the Zions Bancorporation 2005 Stock Option and Incentive Plan.  For more information, please see the Current Report 8-K filed by Zions Bancorporation on December 28, 2009.  Restricted stock units are 100% vested on the date of grant but are subject to transfer restrictions that lapse in two annual installments beginning on January 15, 2011 and that lapse in full on the reporting person's earlier death.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">Amendment.  The Form 4 filed on 3/26/2010  inadvertantly reported an incorrect number of shares granted.</footnote>
