Should the Interest Rate fix at or above the Maximum Interest Rate, the Interest Rate will amount to the Maximum Interest Rate.

3. Significant Risks for Investors

For product specific risks please see above (2. Prospects of Profits and Losses)

Risk Factors relating to the Issuer

In addition to the market risk with regard to the development of the Underlying, each Investor bears the general risk that the financial situation of the Issuer could deteriorate. The Products constitute immediate, unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Issuer, which, particularly in case of insolvency of the Issuer, rank pari passu with each and all other current and future unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Issuer, with the exception of those that have priority due to mandatory statutory provisions. The general assessment of the Issuer's creditworthiness may affect the value of the Products. This assessment generally depends on the ratings assigned to the Issuer or its affiliated companies by rating agencies such as Moody's, Fitch and Standard & Poor's.

The Issuer Ratings indicated in this document reflect the situation at the time of issuance and may be subject to changes. The actual Issuer Ratings at any given time can be seen on the Issuer's website (www.ubs.com) under "Analysts & Investors".

Secondary Market

The Issuer or the Lead Manager, as applicable, intends, under normal market conditions, to provide bid and offer prices for this Product on a regular basis. However, the Issuer or the Lead Manager, as applicable, makes no firm commitment to provide liquidity by means of bid and offer prices for this Product, and assumes no legal obligation to quote any such prices or with respect to the level or determination of such prices. Potential Investors therefore should not rely on the ability to sell this Product at a specific time or at a specific price.

In special market situations, where the Issuer is completely unable to enter into hedging transactions, or where such transactions are very difficult to enter into, the spread between the bid and offer prices may be temporarily expanded, in order to limit the economic risks of the Issuer.

Market Risk

The investor is exposed to market disruption events (such as trading disruption, exchange disruption and early closure of the relevant exchange), adjustments and early termination which could have an impact on the redemption amount through delay in payment or change in value. For a detailed description of such events and their effects please read the Final Terms and the base prospectus (Structured Note Programme).
