Additional Risk Factors relating to Structured Notes<br />
An investment in Notes, the premium and/or the interest on and/or principal of which is determined<br />
by reference to shares, equity indices, currencies, commodities, interest rates or other indices or<br />
formulae ("Reference Asset") ("Structured Notes"), either directly or inversely, may entail<br />
significant risks not associated with investments in a conventional debt security. Such risks include<br />
the risks that the holder of such Notes will receive no interest at all, or that the resulting interest<br />
rate will be less than that payable on a conventional debt security at the same time and/or that the<br />
holder of such Notes could lose all or a substantial portion of the principal of its Notes. In addition,<br />
(i) the Reference Asset may be subject to significant changes during the term of the Notes due to<br />
various circumstances including fluctuations in its components or (ii) a significant market disruption<br />
could cause a postponement of certain determinations and/or payments under the Notes and/or a<br />
substitution of the Reference Asset or an early redemption of the Notes, so that the original<br />
assessment of risks may no longer apply or the investor would be exposed to reinvestment risk.<br />
Investors should be aware that the market price of such Notes may be very volatile (depending on<br />
the volatility of the relevant Reference Asset).<br />
Neither the current nor the historical value of the Reference Asset should be taken as an indication<br />
of future performance of such Reference Asset during the term of any Note.<br />
Risks in Connection with Caps<br />
If interest rate and/or redemption amount of an issue of Notes are not fixed but will be determined<br />
according to the structure of Notes as set out in the relevant Final Terms of the Notes, these<br />
issues may also be equipped with a cap. The effect of a cap is that the amount of interest and/or<br />
the redemption amount will never rise above and beyond the predetermined cap, so that the<br />
holder will not be able to benefit from any actual favourable development beyond the cap. The<br />
yield could therefore be considerably lower than that of similarly structured Notes without a cap.<br />
Risk of Potential Conflicts of Interest in Case of an Underlying<br />
Each of the Issuer, any Dealer or any of their respective affiliates not only issue Notes but also<br />
have other business areas which independently do business with companies that might be part of<br />
an underlying of securities (e.g., but not limited to, an index, single shares or baskets). It cannot be<br />
ruled out that decisions made by those independent business areas may have a positive or a<br />
negative impact on the underlying value.<br />
Certain of the Dealers and their affiliates may have engaged, and may in the future engage, in<br />
investment banking and/or commercial banking transactions and may perform services for the<br />
Issuer and its affiliates in the ordinary course of business.<br />
Subordinated Notes<br />
The Issuer may issue Subordinated Notes. The obligations of the Issuer in case of Subordinated<br />
Notes constitute unsecured and subordinated obligations. In the event of the dissolution,<br />
liquidation, insolvency, composition or other proceedings for the avoidance of insolvency of, or<br />
against, the Issuer, such obligations will be subordinated to the claims of all unsubordinated<br />
creditors of the Issuer so that in any such event no amounts will be payable under such obligations<br />
until the claims of all unsubordinated creditors of the Issuer will have been satisfied in full. No<br />
holder may set off his claims arising under the Notes against any claims of the Issuer. No security<br />
of whatever kind is, or will at any time be, provided by the Issuer or any other person securing<br />
rights of the holders under such Notes. No subsequent agreement may limit the subordination or<br />
amend the maturity date in respect of the Notes to any earlier date or shorten any applicable<br />
notice period (Kündigungsfrist). In case of Tier 3 Subordinated Notes, no payment in respect of the<br />
