If on any determination date in relation to the Underlying or an Underlying contained<br />

in a Basket a Market Disruption (as defined below) occurs or continues to<br />

exist and no value can thus be determined, the determination date shall be postponed<br />

to the first Business Day on which the market disruption ceases to exist and<br />

the relevant payment date shall be postponed accordingly.<br />

Market Disruption means, to the extent the Final Terms (item 20b(xi)) contain no<br />

other or additional market disruption events, (i) the suspension or limitation of<br />

trading of the Underlying or one or more Underlyings contained in a Basket, or in<br />

the case of Notes whose Underlying consists of one or more indices, one or more<br />

of the components contained in the relevant index, at the Reference Stock Exchange<br />

(see item 20b(xii) of the Final Terms), to the extent such a suspension or<br />

disruption in the opinion of the Issuer materially affects the calculation of such<br />

Underlying, or (ii) suspension or limitation of trading of future or option contracts<br />

referring to the respective Underlying (or in the case of Notes whose Underlying<br />

consists of one or more indices, of one or more relevant components contained in<br />

such index) on the Relevant Options Exchange, or (iii) if the Reference Stock Exchange<br />

(see item 20b(xii) of the Final Terms) does not open for business or closes<br />

early (prior to the normal close of trading), (iv) if the price or another relevant<br />

value (including rates of interest) for the calculation of the Underlying is not published<br />

or not available, or (v) in the opinion of the Issuer another material disruption<br />

of the calculation or publication of the value of the Underlying or one or more<br />

Underlyings contained in a Basket.<br />

If the Underlyings (or components of Baskets) are commodities, market disruption<br />

shall additionally be constituted by (i) material changes in the calculation formula<br />

or method regarding the relevant commodity, (ii) the introduction, change or abolition<br />

of any tax concerning the relevant commodity, or (iii) other material modifications<br />

regarding the relevant commodity.<br />

If the Underlyings (or components of a Basket) are funds or units in a fund, market<br />

disruption shall additionally be constituted if (i) no net asset value is published for<br />

the units in the fund, (ii) the units in a fund can not be redeemed or returned for any<br />

reason whatsoever, (iii) the fund is closed, merged or becomes insolvent, or (iv)<br />

other circumstances occur which do not allow a calculation of the net asset value of<br />

the fund units.<br />

If market disruptions occur during the term of the Notes, the Issuer has the right to<br />

determine the price of the Underlying affected by the market disruption in such a<br />

way that it corresponds to the market conditions prevailing on that day in the assessment<br />

of the Calculation Agent.<br />

A limitation of hours or number of days on which trading takes place does not constitute<br />

a market disruption to the extent the limitation results from a prior announced<br />

change of regular business hours of the respective stock exchange. A limitation<br />

of trading because of price movements exceeding certain predetermined<br />

thresholds and occurring during a trading day only constitutes a market disruption<br />
