The Covered Bonds and all rights in connection therewith are
documented in the form of a Global Covered Bond which
shall be deposited with SIX SIS Ltd. or any other
intermediary in Switzerland recognised for such purposes by
the SIX Swiss Exchange Ltd (SIX SIS Ltd or any such other
intermediary, the "Intermediary"). Once the Global Covered
Bond has been deposited with the Intermediary and entered
into the accounts of one or more participants of the
Intermediary,
the
Covered
Bonds
will
constitute
intermediated securities (Bucheffekten) ("Intermediated
Securities") in accordance with the provisions of the Swiss
Federal Intermediated Securities Act (Bucheffektengesetz).
Each holder of the Covered Bonds shall have a quotal co-
ownership interest (Miteigentumsanteil) in the Global
Covered Bond to the extent of the holder's claim against the
Issuer, provided that for so long as the Global Covered Bond
remains deposited with the Intermediary the co-ownership
interest shall be suspended and the Covered Bonds may only
be transferred or otherwise disposed of in accordance with the
provisions of the Swiss Federal Intermediated Securities Act
(Bucheffektengesetz), i.e. by entry of the transferred Covered
Bonds in a securities account of the transferee.
The records of the Intermediary will determine the number of
Covered Bonds held through each participant in that
Intermediary. In respect of the Covered Bonds held in the
form of Intermediated Securities, the holders of the Covered
Bonds will be the persons holding the Covered Bonds in a
securities account.
Holders of the Covered Bonds do not have the right to effect
or demand the conversion of the Global Covered Bond into,
or the delivery of, uncertificated securities (Wertrechte) or
Definitive Covered Bonds (Wertpapiere).
The Global Covered Bond shall not be exchangeable in whole
for definitive bearer Covered Bonds.
