3 HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLES 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 return of the Index, which will not reflect the value of any dividends, distributions or other income or amounts accruing on the constituent securities of the Index. All dollar amounts are rounded to the nearest whole cent. Example One Scenario: The Notes are automatically called and the Final on the first Autocall Valuation is greater than or equal to the Autocall Level. Issue % 0.5y (not callable) % y (not callable) % y % 3.00 The Notes are Automatically Called - No future payments in respect of the Notes Since the Final (121% of the Initial ) is greater than the Autocall Level (120% of the Initial ) on the first Autocall Valuation, the Notes are automatically called. The Maturity Redemption Amount is calculated as: $ per Note In this example, the Closing is greater than the Barrier Level on each applicable Valuation, so an investor would receive a of $3.00 on each of the first three s. An investor would receive aggregate s of $9.00 per Note and a Maturity Redemption Amount of $ per Note, equivalent to an annual compound rate of return of 5.91%. Example Two Scenario: The Notes are not automatically called and the Final on the Final Valuation is greater than the Barrier Level. The Notes are not automatically called as the Final on each Valuation is less than the Autocall Level. The Final on the Final Valuation is greater than the Barrier Level. The Maturity Redemption Amount is calculated as: $ per Note Issue % 0.5y (not callable) % y (not callable) % y % y % y 85.00% y 49.00% y 59.00% y 79.00% y 82.00% y 81.00% y 86.00% y 81.00% 3.00 In this example, since the Closing is below the Barrier Level on the sixth, seventh and eighth s, an investor would not receive a for the related s. An investor would receive aggregate s of $27.00 per Note and a Maturity Redemption Amount of $ per Note, equivalent to an annual compound rate of return of approximately 4.06%.

4 HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLES Example Three Scenario: The Notes are not automatically called and the Final on the Final Valuation is equal to or less than the Barrier Level. The Notes are not automatically called as the Final on each Valuation is less than the Autocall Level. The Final Index Level on the Final Valuation is equal to or less than the Barrier Level. The Maturity Redemption Amount is calculated as: + ( x Index Return) $ ($ x %) = $56.00 Issue % 0.5y (not callable) 68.00% y (not callable) 46.00% y 46.00% y 45.00% y 56.00% y 49.00% y 52.00% y 52.00% y 52.00% y 59.00% y 67.00% y 56.00% 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 Maturity Redemption Amount of $56.00 per Note on the Maturity, equivalent to an annual compound rate of return of approximately -9.21%.
