4 HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLES The following examples show how the Price Return and would be calculated based on certain hypothetical values and assumptions set out below. These examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as an estimate or forecast of the performance of the Reference Portfolio or the return that an investor might realize on the tes. The Price Return will be calculated based on the price performance of the Reference Shares, which will not reflect the value of any dividends, distributions or other income or amounts accruing or paid on the Reference Shares. Certain dollar amounts are rounded to the nearest whole cent. Values for hypothetical calculations: Initial Portfolio Price: $ Barrier Price: 75.00% of the Initial Portfolio Price = 75.00% x $100.00= $75.00 Autocall Price: % of the Initial Portfolio Price = % x $100.00= $ Example #1 - The tes are not automatically called as the Closing Portfolio Price on each Autocall is less than the Autocall Price. The Final Portfolio Price on the Final is equal to or less than the Barrier Price and no Variable Return is payable. Closing Portfolio Price: $50.33 (Final $94.95 $85.99 $85.00 $83.00 Portfolio Price) -5.05% (actual) % (actual) % (actual) % (actual) % (actual) $50.33 per te Since the Final Portfolio Price ($50.33) on the Final is less than the Barrier Price ($75.00), the is calculated as follows: Principal + (Principal x Price Return) $ ($ x %) = $50.33 per te In this example, since the Final Portfolio Price on the Final is below the Autocall Price, no Variable Return is payable. An investor would receive a of $50.33 per te on the Maturity, which is equivalent to an annual compound rate of return of approximately % per te. Example #2 - The tes are not automatically called as the Closing Portfolio Price on each Autocall is less than the Autocall Price. The Final Portfolio Price on the Final is less than the Autocall Price, but greater than the Barrier Price and no Variable Return is payable. Closing Portfolio Price: $94.95 $85.99 $85.00 $83.00 $89.30 (Final Portfolio Price) -5.05% (actual) % (actual) % (actual) % (actual) % (actual) $ per te Since the Final Portfolio Price ($89.30) on the Final is less than the Autocall Price ($100.00), but greater than the Barrier Price ($75.00), the is calculated as follows: Principal = $ per te In this example, since the Final Portfolio Price on the Final is below the Autocall Price, no Variable Return is payable. An investor would receive a of $ per te on the Maturity, which is equivalent to an annual compound rate of return of 0.00% per te. Example #3 - The tes are not automatically called as the Closing Portfolio Price on each Autocall is less than the Autocall Price. The Final Portfolio Price on the Final is greater than or equal to the Autocall Price and a Variable Return is payable consisting of a Fixed Return only. Additional Return is payable as the Price Return is less than or equal to the Fixed Return. Closing Portfolio Price: $94.95 $85.99 $85.00 $83.00 $ (Final Portfolio Price) -5.05% (actual) % (actual) % (actual) % (actual) 2.08% (actual) $ per te

5 Since the Final Portfolio Price ($102.08) on the Final is greater than the Autocall Price ($100.00), the is calculated as follows: Principal + Variable Return $ ($ x 45.00% + 0) = $ per te In this example, since the Price Return (2.08%) is less than the Fixed Return (45.00%), no Additional Return is payable. An investor would receive a of $ per te on the Maturity, which is equivalent to an annual compound rate of return of approximately 7.71% per te. Example #4 - The tes are not automatically called on the 2018 or s as the Closing Portfolio Price is less than the Autocall Price. The tes are automatically called on the as the Closing Portfolio Price is greater than or equal to the Autocall Price and a Variable Return is payable consisting of a Fixed Return and an Additional Return as the Price Return is greater than the Fixed Return. Closing Portfolio Price: $94.95 $85.99 $ (Autocall) -5.05% (actual) % (actual) 39.24% (actual) $ per te Since the Closing Portfolio Price ($139.24) on the is greater than the Autocall Price ($100.00), the Maturity Redemption is calculated as follows: Principal + Variable Return $ [$ x [27.00% + (5.00% x (39.24% %))]] = $ per te In this example, since the Price Return (39.24%) is greater than the Fixed Return (27.00%), an Additional Return is payable. An investor would receive a of $ per te, which is equivalent to an annual compound rate of return of approximately 8.47% per te. Example #5 -The tes are automatically called on the as the Closing Portfolio Price is greater than or equal to the Autocall Price and a Variable Return is payable consisting of a Fixed Return only. Additional Return is payable as the Price Return is less than the Fixed Return. Closing Portfolio Price: $ (Autocall) 6.00% (actual) $ per te Since the Closing Portfolio Price ($106.00) on the is greater than the Autocall Price (100.00), the Maturity Redemption is calculated as follows: Principal + Variable Return $ ($ x 9.00% + 0) = $ per te In this example, since the Price Return (6.00%) is less than the Fixed Return (9.00%), no Additional Return is payable. An investor would receive a of $ per te, which is equivalent to an annual compound rate of return of 9.00% per te. These examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as an estimate or forecast of the performance of the Reference Shares or the return that an investor might realize on the tes. The Price Return will be calculated based on the price performance of the Reference Shares, which will not reflect the value of any dividends, distributions or other income or amounts accruing or paid on the Reference Shares. Certain dollar amounts are rounded to the nearest whole cent.
