10-04285-brl Doc 127 Filed 08/17/12 Entered 08/17/12 14:29:55 Main Document Pg 65 of 133 The fourth requirement of the mere department test, interference with operations, is satisfied because Luxalpha could not have been established and sustained—and UBS SA, UBSFSL, and UBSTPM could not have been permitted to service Luxalpha and Groupement and reap the fees that form the basis of this action—without UBS AG’s approval.

Ex. 5 at 2.) Nevertheless, UBS AG permitted the delegation of custodial authority from UBS SA to BLMIS, Ex. 66.) <strong>45</strong> (Id. at 3; see also Pergament Decl.
