UBS AG has not (x) paid, or proposed to pay, any distribution in cash or in kind (other than in the form of Core Capital Instruments) on any Core Capital Instruments or (y) repurchased, redeemed or retired for any consideration any Core Capital Instruments, in the case of each of subclauses (x) and (y) of this clause (B), during the one-month period ended on the date immediately preceding such Publication Date, except pursuant to the conversion of a security into, or the exchange of a security for, any Core Capital Instruments, or as a Permitted Transaction,

the Issuer shall, subject to clauses (b)(ii) and (b)(iii) of this Condition 6, give a Trigger Event Write-down Notice to the Holders (x) if such Publication Date is an Ordinary Publication Date, within five Business Days of such Publication Date (such fifth Business Day, the “Trigger Breach Determination Date”, and the date of such notice, the “Ordinary Trigger Event Notice Date”), and (y) if such Publication Date is an Extraordinary Publication Date, on such Publication Date (the “Extraordinary Trigger Event Notice Date”), in each case in accordance with Condition 13.

18 | 30

(ii)

If the Issuer is required to give a Trigger Event Write-down Notice pursuant to clause (b)(i) of this Condition 6, and on the relevant Publication Date any High-Trigger Contingent Capital is outstanding with respect to which either (x) no High-Trigger Write-down/Conversion Notice has been given prior to the Trigger Event Notice Date or (y) a High-Trigger Write-down/Conversion Notice has been given prior to the Trigger Event Notice Date, but the Trigger Event Write-down Date is scheduled to occur prior to the relevant High-Trigger Write-down/Conversion Date,

(A)

in the case of clause (x) above, the Issuer shall postpone giving such Trigger Event Write-down Notice until the date on which a High-Trigger Write-down/Conversion Notice has been given with respect to all such outstanding High-Trigger Contingent Capital and such date shall be deemed to be the Trigger Event Notice Date, and

(B)

in the case of clauses (x) and (y) above, if the Trigger Event Write-down Date is scheduled to occur prior to the High-Trigger Write-down/Conversion Date (or, in the case of more than one High-Trigger Write-down/Conversion Date, the latest High-Trigger Write-down/Conversion Date), the Trigger Event Write-down Date shall be postponed to the High-Trigger Write-down/Conversion Date (or the latest High-Trigger Write-down/Conversion Date, as applicable) and such postponement shall be specified in such Trigger Event Write-down Notice.

(iii)

If (A) the Issuer is required to give a Trigger Event Write-down Notice pursuant to clause (b)(i) of this Condition 6 in relation to an Ordinary Publication Date, and (B) prior to the earlier of the Ordinary Trigger Event Notice Date and the Trigger Breach Determination Date, the FINMA, upon the request of UBS AG, has agreed in writing that a Contingent Write-down is not required as a result of actions taken by the Group or circumstances or events, in each case, that have had, or imminently will have, the effect of restoring the Relevant Capital Ratio as of the Balance Sheet Date relating to the relevant Ordinary Publication Date, after giving pro forma effect to such actions, circumstances or events, to a level above the Write-down Threshold that the FINMA and UBS XX xxxx, in their sole discretion, to be adequate at such time, the Issuer (x) shall not give such Trigger Event Write-down Notice pursuant to clause (b)(i) of this Condition 6 in relation to the relevant Ordinary Publication Date, and (y) shall give notice to the Holders on or prior to the Trigger Breach Determination Date in accordance with Condition 13, which notice shall state that no Contingent Write-down shall occur in relation to the relevant Ordinary Publication Date.

(c)

Viability Event

(i)

Upon the occurrence of a Viability Event, (A) the Issuer shall give notice to the Holders in accordance with Condition 13 within three days of the date on which such Viability Event occurred, which notice shall (x) state that a Viability Event has occurred and a

19 | 30

Contingent Write-down will take place and (y) specify the date on which the Contingent Write-down will take place, which date shall be no later than 10 Business Days after the date of such notice (such specified date, the “Viability Event Write-down Date”, and such notice, a “Viability Event Write-down Notice”), and (B) a Contingent Write-down shall occur on the Viability Event Write-down Date in accordance with clause (d) of this Condition 6.

(ii)

A “Viability Event” shall be deemed to have occurred if:

(A)

the FINMA has notified UBS AG in writing that it has determined a write-down of the Notes, together with the conversion or write down, as applicable, of holders’ claims in respect of any other capital instruments issued by any member of the Group that, pursuant to their terms or by operation of law, are capable of being converted into equity or written down at that time, is, because customary measures to improve UBS AG’s capital adequacy are at the time inadequate or infeasible, an essential requirement to prevent UBS AG from becoming insolvent, bankrupt, unable to pay a material part of its debts as they fall due or unable to carry on its business; or

(B)

customary measures to improve UBS AG’s capital adequacy being at the time inadequate or infeasible, UBS AG has received an irrevocable commitment of direct or indirect extraordinary support from the Public Sector (beyond customary transactions and arrangements in the ordinary course) that has, or imminently will have, the effect of improving UBS AG’s capital adequacy and without which, in the determination of (and as notified in writing by) the FINMA, UBS AG would have become insolvent, bankrupt, unable to pay a material part of its debts as they fall due or unable to carry on its business.

For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that, a Viability Event may occur irrespective of whether or not a Trigger Event has occurred or whether any of the conditions to the issuance of a Trigger Event Write-down Notice have been met.

(d)

Contingent Write-down

If the Issuer has given a Write-down Notice in accordance with this Condition 6, then on the relevant Write-down Date,

(i)

the full principal amount of each Note shall automatically be written down to zero, the Notes shall be cancelled and all references to the principal amount of the Notes in these Terms and Conditions shall be construed accordingly;

(ii)

the Holders shall be automatically deemed to irrevocably waive their right to receive, and no longer have any rights against the Issuer with respect to, repayment of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes written down pursuant to clause (i) above (bedingter Forderungsverzicht);

20 | 30

(iii)

the Issuer shall pay (A) any accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes and (B) any Additional Amounts, in the case of each of subclauses (A) and (B) of this clause (iii), if and only to the extent that such interest or Additional Amount, as applicable, became due and payable to the Holders prior to the relevant Write-down Notice Date; and

(iv)

except as described in clause (iii) above, all rights of any Holder for payment of any amounts under or in respect of the Notes (including, without limitation, any amounts arising as a result of, or due and payable upon the occurrence of, an Event of Default) shall become null and void, irrespective of whether such amounts have become due and payable prior to the relevant Write-down Notice Date or the Write-down Date.

(e)

Determination of Relevant Capital Ratio and Relevant Trigger Capital Ratio

With respect to any Publication Date, (i) the Relevant Capital Ratio as of the relevant Balance Sheet Date, (ii) the Relevant Trigger Capital Ratio as of such Publication Date and (iii) the components of both of the foregoing, in each case, as published on such Publication Date, shall be final for purposes of this Condition 6, and any revisions, restatements or adjustments to any of the calculations described in subclauses (i) through (iii) of this clause (e) subsequently published shall have no effect for purposes of this Condition 6.

7	PAYMENTS

(a)

All payments required to be made under the Notes shall be made available in good time in freely disposable U.S. dollars, which will be placed at the free disposal of the Fiscal Agent on behalf of the Holders. If the Scheduled Due Date for any payment under the Notes does not fall on a Business Day, the Issuer undertakes to effect payment for value on the Business Day immediately following such Scheduled Due Date, and the Holders shall not be entitled to any additional sum in relation to such payment. All payments required to be made under the Notes (including any Additional Amounts) shall be made to the Holders in U.S. dollars without collection costs, without any restrictions and whatever the circumstances may be, irrespective of nationality, domicile or residence of the relevant Holder and without certification, affidavit or the fulfillment of any other formality, save in respect of taxation; provided, however, that, in the case of Definitive Notes, such Notes must be presented, and surrendered in the case of redemption, at (i) the Specified Office of the relevant Paying Agent or (ii) the specified office(s) of any other agent(s) appointed for this purpose by the Fiscal Agent and notified to the Holders pursuant to Condition 13, as a condition to receipt of any such payment.

(b)

The receipt by the Fiscal Agent of the due and punctual payment of funds in U.S. dollars shall release the Issuer from its obligations under the Notes to the extent of such payment.

(c)

The Issuer reserves the right to terminate the appointment of the Fiscal Agent or any other Paying Agent and to appoint additional or other Paying Agents. Any such termination or appointment shall only take effect not more than 45 and not less than 30 days’ after the Issuer has notified the Holders of such termination or appointment pursuant to Condition 13; provided, however, that, in the case of insolvency of any Paying Agent, any termination of

21 | 30

such Paying Agent and appointment of any additional or other Paying Agent shall take immediate effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as any Note is outstanding, the Issuer shall at all times maintain (i) a Fiscal Agent that is a participant of the Depositary and (ii) if legislation is enacted in Switzerland providing for the taxation of payments according to principles similar to those laid down in the draft legislation proposed by the Swiss Federal Council on August 24, 2011, a Paying Agent outside of Switzerland if and to the extent that making such payments through such Paying Agent would eliminate any withholding tax that would otherwise apply to such payments pursuant to such legislation.

8	TAXATION

(a)

All payments to be made by or on behalf of the Issuer pursuant to these Terms and Conditions (including for the avoidance of doubt, payments by a Paying Agent) shall be made without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or other government charges of any nature (“Taxes”) imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or on behalf of any Tax Jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof or any authority of or in a Tax Jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof having the power to impose, levy, collect, withhold or assess Taxes, unless withholding, deduction or accounting for such Taxes is required by law.

(b)

In the event that any payment to be made by or on behalf of the Issuer pursuant to these Terms and Conditions (including for the avoidance of doubt, payments by a Paying Agent) is subject to any withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any Taxes by requirement of law in a Tax Jurisdiction, the Issuer shall pay such additional amounts as will result in the Holders receiving the amounts that they would have received pursuant to these Terms and Conditions if no such withholding or deduction had been required (“Additional Amounts”).

(c)

The Issuer shall not be required to pay any Additional Amounts pursuant to clause (b) of this Condition 8 in relation to any Note

(i)

if the relevant Holder is liable for such Taxes on such Note as a result of having some connection with the relevant Tax Jurisdiction other than its mere ownership or possession of such Note or the receipt of principal or interest in respect thereof; or

(ii)

if the relevant Holder is liable for such Taxes on such Note as a result of such Holder being or having been at any time, for United States federal income tax purposes, a “ten percent shareholder” of UBS AG; or

(iii)

where such withholding or deduction is required to be made pursuant to the EU Savings Tax Directive, or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, the EU Savings Tax Directive or pursuant to any agreements between the European Community and any other country or territory providing for measures equivalent to those laid down in the EU Savings Tax Directive; or

(iv)

where such Tax is paid other than by deduction or withholding from a payment on such Note; or

22 | 30

(v)

where such Tax is imposed solely because the relevant Holder is a bank purchasing such Note in the ordinary course of its lending business; or

(vi)

if the relevant Holder would have been able to avoid such withholding or deduction by presenting such Note (where presentment is required) to, or arranging to receive payment through, another Paying Agent (if any); or

(vii)

more than 30 days after the Relevant Date, except to the extent that the relevant Holder would have been entitled to receive the Additional Amounts if it had presented such Note (where presentment is required) for payment on the last day of such 30-day period; or

(viii)

to the extent that such Tax is imposed or levied as a result of the relevant Holder, or the beneficial owner, of such Note not complying with any certification or identification requirement that would have enabled it to avoid the imposition of such Tax; or

(ix)

with respect to any Tax withheld or deducted as a result of the failure of any person to whom such payment is being made to perfect an exemption from any withholding imposed pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (commonly referred to as “FATCA”) and any regulations thereunder, agreements entered into pursuant thereto, or official interpretations thereof; or

(x)

where such withholding or deduction is required to be made pursuant to laws enacted by Switzerland providing for the taxation of payments according to principles similar to those set forth in (A) the EU Savings Tax Directive or (B) the draft legislation proposed by the Swiss Federal Council on August 24, 2011, including, without limitation, the requirement that a person other than the Issuer (such as any paying agent) withhold or deduct tax; or

(xi)

to the extent any combination of the above applies.

(d)

Any reference in these Terms and Conditions to amounts payable by the Issuer pursuant to these Terms and Conditions includes (i) any Additional Amount payable pursuant to this Condition 8 and (ii) any sum payable pursuant to an obligation taken in addition to or in substitution for the obligation in this Condition 8.

9	STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS

In accordance with Swiss law, (i) claims for interest payments under the Notes shall become time-barred after the five-year period and (ii) claims for the repayment or redemption of Notes shall become time-barred after the ten-year period, in each case, commencing on the date on which such payments, repayment or redemption become due and payable.

23 | 30

10	EVENTS OF DEFAULT

(a)

If any of the following events shall occur, such occurrence shall constitute an “Event of Default”:

(i)

the Issuer shall fail to pay the principal amount of any Note when and as the same shall become due and payable under these Terms and Conditions, whether at the due date pursuant to clause (a) of Condition 5 or at a date fixed for early redemption pursuant to clause (b), (c) or (d) of Condition 5, and such failure shall continue unremedied for a period of 30 days; or

(ii)

the Issuer shall fail to pay any interest on the Notes when and as the same shall become due and payable under these Terms and Conditions, whether at the due date pursuant to Condition 4 or at a date fixed for early redemption pursuant to clause (b), (c) or (d) of Condition 5, and such failure shall continue unremedied for a period 30 days; or

(iii)

the Issuer shall fail to observe or perform any other covenant, condition, or agreement contained in these Terms and Conditions and such failure either (A) is incapable of remedy or (B) shall continue unremedied for a period of 60 days after written notice thereof from any Holder to the Issuer; or

(iv)

a Bankruptcy Event.

(b)

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default relating to any failure of the Issuer to meet any payment obligation under these Terms and Conditions and subject to Condition 6, (i) such payment obligation (and such payment obligation only) shall be immediately deemed a due and payable (fällige) payment obligation of the Issuer, and (ii) if (A) the relevant Holder has formally requested payment of such payment obligation, (B) such payment obligation has not been fulfilled within the statutory period under Swiss law commencing after the date of such formal request and (C) a writ of payment (Zahlungsbefehl) has been issued with respect to such payment obligation pursuant to Swiss insolvency laws, the relevant Holder may institute proceedings against the Issuer in Switzerland (but not elsewhere) to enforce its rights with respect to such payment obligation under Swiss insolvency laws.

(c)

If an insolvency proceeding with respect to the Issuer is instituted in Switzerland in accordance with clause (b) of this Condition 10, the Issuer shall not (i) after having received the writ of payment (Zahlungsbefehl) relating to the relevant payment obligation, argue or plead that such payment obligation is not due and payable by the Issuer, or (ii) prior to the declaration of bankruptcy (or similar proceeding under Swiss insolvency laws), make any payment to the relevant Holder under or in connection with the Notes.

(d)

In the case of any Event of Default arising under clause (a)(iii) above and subject to Condition 6, any Holder may seek specific performance or damages with respect to such Event of Default pursuant to the Swiss Code if so entitled thereunder.

24 | 30

(e)

In the case of any Event of Default arising under clause (a)(iv) above and subject to Condition 6, any Holder may, by written notice to the Fiscal Agent at its Specified Office, declare the principal amount of any of its Notes, together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind.

(f)

No remedy against the Issuer other than those described in this Condition 10 shall be available to the Holders in connection with the Issuer’s obligations under these Terms and Conditions, whether for the recovery of amounts owing under these Terms and Conditions or in respect of any breach by the Issuer of any of its other obligations under these Terms and Conditions or otherwise. In particular, no Holder may declare (i) the principal amount of any Notes due and payable prior to the Maturity Date, or (ii) any interest on any Notes due and payable prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, except, in the case of each of subclauses (i) and (ii) of this clause (f), pursuant to clause (e) of this Condition 10.

(i)

such amendment, in the reasonable opinion of the Issuer, does not adversely affect the rights and claims of the Holders under the Notes;

(ii)

the Issuer has given the Holders not less than 30 days’ notice of such amendment in accordance with Condition 13, which notice (the “Amendment Notice”) shall (A) be irrevocable and (B) state the date on which such amendment shall be effective (the “Amendment Effective Date”);

(iii)

the FINMA has approved such amendment in writing;

(iv)

no Viability Event has occurred prior to the applicable Amendment Effective Date; and

(b)

In addition to its rights under clause (a) of this Condition 11, the Issuer may, without the consent of the Holders, make any amendment to these Terms and Conditions that it considers to be (i) necessary or desirable to give effect to the provisions of clause (a) of Condition 15 (including, without limitation, (x) if the Substitute Issuer is organized and/or resident for tax purposes in a jurisdiction other than Switzerland and/or the United States and Connecticut, any amendments to any references to the jurisdictions of “Switzerland”, on the one hand, or the “United States”, “Connecticut” or “Stamford”, on the other hand, contained herein, including, without limitation, amendments to the definition of the term “Bankruptcy Event”, the definition of the term “Business Day”, the governing law of the subordination provisions set forth in Condition 3 and the provisions of Condition 10), and (y) any amendments to reflect UBS AG’s guarantee described in clause (a)(vi) of Condition 15), or (ii) formal, minor or technical in nature or (iii) necessary to correct a manifest error.

(c)

The parties to the Fiscal Agency Agreement may agree without the consent of the Holders to any amendment thereto that is (i) in the reasonable opinion of such parties, not materially prejudicial to the interests of the Holders, (ii) formal, minor or technical in nature, or (iii) necessary to correct a manifest error.

(d)

The Issuer shall notify the Holders of any amendments made pursuant to clause (b) or (c) of this Condition 11 in accordance with Condition 13, which notice shall state the date on which such amendment shall be effective.

Any amendment made pursuant to this Condition 11 shall be binding on the Holders in accordance with its terms.

12	REPLACEMENT

If Definitive Notes have been printed, any Definitive Note that is lost, stolen, mutilated, defaced or destroyed may be replaced, subject to applicable laws and regulations, at the Specified Office of the Fiscal Agent upon payment by the claimant of the fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Fiscal Agent and the Issuer in connection therewith and on such terms as to evidence, security and indemnity (which may provide, among other things, that if the Definitive Note allegedly or actually lost, stolen or destroyed is subsequently presented for payment there shall be paid to the Issuer on demand the amount payable by the Issuer in respect of such Definitive Note subsequently presented) as the Issuer may require. Mutilated or defaced Definitive Notes must be surrendered before replacements will be issued.

13	NOTICES

(a)

So long as the Notes are represented by one or more Global Notes deposited with a custodian on behalf of the Depositary, notices to Holders shall be given by communication through the Fiscal Agent to the Depositary, and any notice so given shall be deemed to be validly given on the date of delivery to the Depositary.

(b)

If Definitive Notes have been printed, notices to Holders shall be valid if published in a leading English language daily newspaper published in New York (which is expected to be

26 | 00

Xxx Xxxx Xxxxxx Journal) or, if such publication is not practicable, in a leading English language daily newspaper having general circulation in the United States. Any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on the date of first publication.

14	MEETINGS OF HOLDERS

The provisions on bondholder meetings set forth in article 1157 et seq. of the Swiss Code shall apply in relation to meetings of Holders, irrespective of any substitution of the Issuer or Issuing Branch Substitution pursuant to Condition 15.

Only the Notes for which the Holder received an instruction by the relevant Indirect Holder to take part at a noteholders meeting shall be deemed to be present or represented at such a noteholders meeting.

15	SUBSTITUTION

(a)

The Issuer may, without the consent of the Holders, substitute any entity (whether or not such entity is organized under the laws of Switzerland) (such substitute entity, the “Substitute Issuer”) for itself as principal debtor under the Notes upon giving no more than 30 and no less than 10 days’ notice to the Holders in accordance with Condition 13, provided that:

(i)

at least 95 percent of the Substitute Issuer’s capital and voting rights are held, directly or indirectly, by UBS AG;

(ii)

the Issuer is not in default in respect of any amount payable under the Notes at the time of such substitution;

(iii)

the Issuer and the Substitute Issuer have entered into such documents (the “Substitution Documents”) as are necessary to give effect to such substitution and pursuant to which the Substitute Issuer has undertaken in favor of each Holder to be bound by these Terms and Conditions as the principal debtor under the Notes in place of the Issuer;

(iv)

if the Substitute Issuer is resident for tax purposes in a jurisdiction (the “New Residence”) other than that in which the Issuer prior to such substitution was resident for tax purposes (the “Former Residence”), the Substitution Documents contain an undertaking and/or such other provisions as may be necessary to ensure that each Holder has the benefit of an undertaking in terms corresponding to the provisions of Condition 8, with the substitution of references to the Former Residence with references to the New Residence;

27 | 30

(v)

the Issuer and the Substitute Issuer have obtained all necessary governmental approvals and consents for such substitution and for the performance by the Substitute Issuer of its obligations under the Substitution Documents;

(vi)

UBS AG has irrevocably and unconditionally guaranteed to the Holders, on a subordinated basis, the due and punctual payment of all amounts due and payable by the Substitute Issuer under, or in respect of, the Notes pursuant to article 111 of the Swiss Code and, if UBS AG issues such guarantee through any office other than one of its U.S. branches or agencies, it has also obtained an irrevocable and unconditional guarantee of, or a letter of credit that irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, all amounts due and payable by the Substitute Issuer under, or in respect of, the Notes pursuant to article 111 of the Swiss Code, which has been issued by either a bank that is a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or of any state or territory thereof or the District of Columbia or a U.S. branch or agency of a non-U.S. bank;

(vii)

if the Substitute Issuer is not organized under the laws of Switzerland, the Substitute Issuer has appointed a process agent as its agent in Switzerland to receive service of process on its behalf in relation to any legal proceedings arising out of or in connection with the Notes; and

(viii)

if the Substitute Issuer is not organized under the laws of England, the Substitute Issuer has appointed a process agent as its agent in England to receive service of process on its behalf in relation to any legal proceedings arising out of or in connection with the Fiscal Agency Agreement.

(b)

Upon any substitution pursuant to clause (a) of this Condition 15, the Substitute Issuer shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Issuer under the Notes with the same effect as if the Substitute Issuer had been named as Issuer in these Terms and Conditions, and the Issuer shall be released from its obligations under the Notes.

(c)

Prior to any substitution pursuant to clause (a) of this Condition 15, UBS AG may, without the consent of the Holders, upon giving no more than 30 and no less than 10 days’ notice to the Holders in accordance with Condition 13, at any time after September 17, 2012, (i) cease to make payments of principal, interest and any other amounts due under the Notes and fulfill any of its other obligations and exercise any of its other rights and powers in respect of, or arising under, the Notes through its Stamford branch and (ii) commence making such payments, fulfilling such other obligations and exercising such powers and rights through its head offices in Basel and Zurich (an “Issuing Branch Substitution”), provided that, as of the time of giving the relevant notice, (A) the Issuer is not in default in respect of any amount payable under the Notes, (B) the Issuer would not be required to pay any Additional Amounts under these Terms and Conditions after giving effect to such Issuing Branch

28 | 30

Substitution that it would not have been required to pay if such Issuing Branch Substitution were not to occur, and (C) no registration under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and no qualification under the United States Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, is required in connection with such Issuing Branch Substitution in order to permit the free transferability within the United States of the Notes or any beneficial interests therein, or, if any such registration or qualification is required, UBS AG has complied with such requirement. Upon an Issuing Branch Substitution pursuant to this clause (c), references to the “Issuer” in these Terms and Conditions, the Global Notes and the Fiscal Agency Agreement shall be construed accordingly, and references to the “United States”, “Connecticut” and “Stamford” in these Terms and Conditions shall, unless the context otherwise requires, be construed as references to “Switzerland”.

16	FURTHER ISSUES

The Issuer may from time to time without the consent of the Holders issue further notes and, provided that such notes have the same terms and conditions as the Notes in all respects including being fungible for U.S. federal income tax purposes (or in all respects except for the issue date and/or first date on which interest is paid), such further notes shall be consolidated and form a single series with the Notes. If the Issuer issues any such further notes pursuant to this Condition 16, references in these Terms and Conditions to “Notes” shall include such further notes, unless the context otherwise requires.

17	CURRENCY INDEMNITY

Any amount received or recovered by any Holder in a currency other than U.S. dollars (whether as a result of, or of the enforcement of, a judgment or order of a court of any jurisdiction, in the insolvency, winding-up or dissolution of UBS AG or otherwise) under the Notes shall only constitute a discharge of the Issuer to the extent of the amount in U.S. dollars that such Holder is able to purchase with the amount so received or recovered in such other currency on the date of such receipt or recovery (or, if it is not practicable to purchase U.S. dollars with such amount on such date, on the first date on which it is practicable to do so). If the amount of U.S. dollars such Holder is able to purchase is less than the amount owed by the Issuer to such Holder under the Notes, the Issuer shall indemnify such Holder against any loss sustained by it as a result. In addition, the Issuer shall indemnify such Holder for the costs of making such purchase. For purposes of this Condition 17, it is sufficient for the relevant Holder to demonstrate that it would have suffered a loss had an actual purchase been made. The indemnities under this Condition 17 shall (i) constitute a separate and independent obligation from the Issuer’s other obligations hereunder, (ii) give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, (iii) apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by any Holder and (iv) continue in full force and effect despite any other judgment, order, claim or proof for a liquidated amount in respect of any amount due under the Notes or any other judgment or order.

18	NO SET-OFF BY HOLDERS

Subject to applicable law, each Holder and Indirect Holder, by acceptance of any direct or beneficial interest in a Note, agrees that it shall not, and waives its right to, exercise, claim or plead any right of set-off, compensation or retention with respect to any amount owed to it by the Issuer in respect of, or arising in connection with, the Notes.

29 | 30

19	NO CONVERSION

Notwithstanding the powers of the FINMA under articles 25 et seq. of the FBA, the Notes shall under no circumstances be converted into equity of UBS AG, and shall only absorb losses pursuant to these Terms and Conditions.

20	GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION

(a)

The Notes shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Switzerland.

(b)

The courts of the city of Zurich (venue being Zurich 1) shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any disputes that may arise out of or in connection with the Notes.
