Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term Financial Account does not include any account, product, or arrangement identified as excluded from the definition of Financial Account in Annex II.

For purposes of this subparagraph 1(s), an interest in a Financial Institution is not “regularly traded” and shall be treated as a Financial Account if the holder of the interest (other than a Financial Institution acting as an intermediary) is registered on the books of such Financial Institution. The preceding sentence will not apply to interests first registered on the books of such Financial Institution
