(i) Dividends on the Company Preferred Securities will be payable from the date of initial issuance on a noncumulative basis, through October 2010 semi-annually in arrears on April [--] and October [--] of each year and thereafter on January [--], April [--], July [--] and October [--] of each year (each a "Dividend Payment Date" and each period from and including a Dividend Payment Date, or the date of initial issuance as applicable, to but not including the next Dividend Payment Date, a "Dividend Period") for the Dividend Period then ending, but only if the Company has legally available funds for such purpose and satisfies the other qualifications described below. Dividends will be payable on the liquidation preference (i) for each Dividend Period through the Dividend Period ending on the Dividend Payment Date in October 2010, at a fixed rate per annum on the liquidation preference equal to [--]% (calculated on the basis of a year of twelve 30-day months) and (ii) for each dividend period commencing on such Dividend Payment Date and thereafter, at a floating rate per annum on the liquidation preference equal to [--]% above three-month LIBOR (calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a 360-day year). Dividends will be mandatorily due and payable in the circumstances described in Section 7.3(b)(ii) below, except that dividends will never be mandatorily due and payable if the Capital Limitation described below in Section 7.3(b)(iii) applies. If dividends on a Dividend Payment Date are neither mandatorily due and payable nor prohibited by application of the Capital Limitation, then (i) payment of dividends on the Company Preferred Securities will be limited by the Bank's Available Distributable Profits (see Section 7.3(b)(iv), below) and (ii) if the Bank delivers, on or before the tenth Business Day immediately preceding such Dividend Payment Date, an instruction (a "No Dividend Instruction") to the Company not to pay dividends on such Dividend Payment Date or to pay less than full dividends on such Dividend Payment Date, dividends payable on the related Dividend Payment Date will be limited as provided in such No Dividend Instruction (see Section 7.3(b)(v) below). LIBOR, with respect to a Determination Date, means the rate (expressed as a percentage per annum) for deposits in U.S. dollars for a three-month period commencing on the second London Banking Day immediately following that Determination Date that appears on Telerate Page 3750 as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on that Determination Date. If such rate does not appear on Telerate Page 3750, LIBOR will be determined on the basis of the rates which deposits in U.S. dollars for a three-month period commencing on the second London Banking Day immediately following that Determination Date and in a principal amount equal to an amount of not less than $1,000,000 that is representative for a single transaction in such market at such time, are offered to prime banks in the London interbank market by four major banks in the London interbank market selected by the Calculation Agent, after consultation with the Company, at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on that Determination Date. The Calculation Agent will request the principal London office of each of such banks to provide a quotation at its rate. If at least two such quotations are provided, LIBOR with respect to that Determination will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided, LIBOR in respect of that Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by three major money center banks in New York City selected by the Calculation Agent, after consultation with the Company, at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on that Determination Date for loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks for a three-month period commencing on the second London Banking Day immediately following that Determination Date and in a principal amount equal to an amount of not less than $1,000,000. However, if the banks selected by the Calculation Agent to provide quotations are not quoting as mentioned in this paragraph, LIBOR for the applicable period will be the same as LIBOR as determined on the previous Determination Date. All percentages resulting from any calculations on the Company Preferred Securities will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upward (e.g., 9.876545% (or .09876545) being rounded to 9.87655% (or .0987655)), and all dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculation will be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upward). (ii) The Company is required to pay dividends on the Company Preferred Securities in three circumstances, as follows: (A) If the Bank declares or pays dividends or makes any other payment or distribution on any Bank Junior Obligations and the Capital Limitation does not apply, then the Company will be required to pay full dividends on the -29- 34 Company Preferred Securities during the one-year period beginning on and including the earlier of the date on which such dividend was declared or the date on which such dividend or other payment was made. (B) If the Bank or any of its subsidiaries redeems, repurchases or otherwise acquires any Bank Parity Securities or Bank Junior Obligations for any consideration, except by conversion into or exchange for shares or Junior Obligations of the Bank and except as described below (and provided that the Capital Limitation does not apply), then the Company will be required to pay dividends on the Company Preferred Securities during the one-year period beginning on and including the date on which such redemption, repurchase or other acquisition occurred. (C) If (x) the Bank or any of its subsidiaries declares or pays any dividends or makes any other payment or distribution on any Bank Parity Securities on any date and (y) during the Relevant Period ending on and including such date there occurred a Dividend Payment Date as to which the Company paid no dividends or less than full dividends on the Company Preferred Securities, and provided that the Capital Limitation does not apply, then on that date the Company will be required to pay a special dividend on the Company Preferred Securities. The special dividend will be payable on that date whether or not that date is otherwise a Dividend Payment Date and, if it is a Dividend Payment Date, will be in addition to any other dividends required to be paid on such Dividend Payment Date. The special dividend will be in an amount that, when taken together with dividends previously paid on the Company Preferred Securities during the Relevant Period, represents the same proportion of full dividends on the Company Preferred Securities for all Dividend Payment Dates during the Relevant Period that the dividend on Bank Parity Securities paid on such date bears to full dividends on such Bank Parity Securities for the Relevant Period. Notwithstanding paragraph (B) above, the Company will not be required to pay dividends solely as a result of (a) Holders repurchases, redemptions or other acquisitions of Bank Parity Securities or ordinary shares in connection with any employment contract, benefit plan or other similar arrangement with or for the benefit of any one or more employees, officers, directors or consultants, in connection with a dividend reinvestment or shareholder share purchase plan or in connection with the issuance of Bank Parity Securities or Bank Junior Obligations (or securities convertible into or exercisable for such Bank Parity Securities or Bank Junior Obligations) as consideration in an acquisition transaction, (b) market-making in the Bank Parity Securities or ordinary shares as part of the securities business of the Bank or any of its subsidiaries, (c) the purchase of fractional interests in shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled Bank Parity Securities or Bank Junior Obligations pursuant to cumulative the conversion or exchange provisions of such Bank Parity Securities or Bank Junior Obligations or the security being converted or exchanged, (d) any declaration of a dividend in connection with any shareholder's rights plan, or the issuance of rights, shares or other property under any shareholder's rights plan, or the redemption or repurchase of rights pursuant to any such plan, or (e) any dividend in the form of shares, warrants, options or other rights where the dividend shares or the shares -30- 35 issuable upon exercise of such warrants, options or other rights are the same shares as that on which the dividend is being paid or ranks pari passu with or junior to such shares.

Unless the Swiss Federal Banking Commission expressly permits otherwise, the Company will not pay dividends on the Company Preferred Securities on any Dividend Payment Date (whether or not it is a Mandatory Dividend Payment Date) if on such date the Bank is not permitted to declare or pay such dividend or incur such liability either (x) as a matter of law or (y) under the terms of any loan agreement, credit agreement, guarantyin compliance, or related agreementbecause of a distribution by the Bank or any of its subsidiaries of profits of the Bank (including a payment of dividends on the Company Preferred Securities) would not be in compliance, such dividend with the Swiss Federal Banking Commission's minimum capital adequacy requirements applicable to the Bank as then in effect.
