Barclays relies on and looks towards the intermediary to comply with the Swiss law obligation regarding retrocession and, when applicable, will disclose or forward any retrocession payment he receives from a Barclays entity to his client, unless the intermediary and his client have validly agreed otherwise. Since Barclays does not know the identity of the intermediary's client, it is impossible for

Barclays to disclose such retrocession payments to the client of the intermediary. As a consequence thereof, the intermediary herewith undertakes to duly fulfil all legal requirements under Swiss law.
