3 HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLES The following examples show how the Index Return and Amount 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 Index or the return that an investor might realize on the Notes. The Index Return will be calculated based on the price performance of the Index, which will not reflect the value of any dividends, distributions or other income or amounts accruing or paid on the constituent securities of the Index. Certain dollar amounts are rounded to the nearest whole cent. Values for hypothetical calculations: Initial : 3, Barrier Level: 70.00% of the Initial = 70.00% x 3, = 2, Autocall Level: % of the Initial = % x 3, = 3, Example #1 The Notes are not automatically called as the Closing on each Autocall is less than the Autocall Level. The Final on the Final is equal to or less than the Barrier Level % Final Amount = $56.00 s = $ y (not callable) 55.00% $0.00 1y (not callable) 46.00% $ y 46.00% $0.00 2y 45.00% $ y 56.00% $0.00 3y 49.00% $ y 52.00% $0.00 4y 52.00% $ y 54.00% $0.00 5y 50.00% $ y 47.00% $0.00 6y 44.00% $ y 46.00% $0.00 7y 56.00% $0.00 Since the Final (1,793.72) on the Final is less than the Barrier Level (2,242.15), the Amount is calculated as follows: + ( x Index Return) $ ($ x %) = $56.00 per Note In this example, since the Closing is below the Barrier Level on all s, an investor would not receive any s. An investor would receive a Amount of $56.00 per Note on the Maturity Date, which is equivalent to an annual compound rate of return of approximately -7.95% per Note. Example #2 The Notes are not automatically called as the Closing on each Autocall is less than the Autocall Level. The Final on the Final is less than the Autocall Level, but greater than the Barrier Level % Final Amount = $ s = $ y (not callable) % $ y (not callable) % $ y % $ y % $ y 85.00% $ y 49.00% $ y 56.00% $0.00 4y 46.00% $ y 86.00% $ y 84.00% $ y 88.00% $ y 86.00% $ y 84.00% $ y 81.00% $3.175 Since the Final (2,594.49) on the Final is below the Autocall Level (3,523.38), but greater than the Barrier Level (2,242.15), the Maturity Redemption Amount is calculated as follows:

4 $ per Note In this example, since the Closing is below the Barrier Level on the sixth, seventh and eighth s, an investor would not receive s for the related Dates. An investor would receive aggregate s of $34.93 per Note, and a Amount of $ per Note, on the Maturity Date, which is equivalent to an annual compound rate of return of approximately 4.37% per Note. Example #3 The Notes are automatically called on the first Autocall as the Closing on the first Autocall is greater than or equal to the Autocall Level. The Notes are automatically called on the first Autocall for $ per Note. In this example an investor would have received three s of $3.175 ($9.53 Total) % Final 0.5y (not callable) % $ y (not callable) % $ y % $3.175 The Notes are automatically called - No future payments in respect of the Notes Amount = $ s = $9.53 Since the Closing (3,875.71) on the first Autocall is greater than the Autocall Level (3,523.38), the Amount is calculated as follows: $ per Note In this example, since the Closing is greater than the Barrier Level on each applicable, an investor would receive s of $3.175 per Note on each of the first three Dates. An investor would receive aggregate s of $9.53 per Note, and a Amount of $ per Note, which is equivalent to an annual compound rate of return of approximately 6.25% per Note. These examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as an estimate or forecast of the performance of the Index or the return that an investor might realize on the Notes. The Index Return will be calculated based on the price performance of the Index, which will not reflect the value of any dividends, distributions or other income or amounts accruing or paid on the constituent securities of the Index. Certain dollar amounts are rounded to the nearest whole cent.
