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 : 3,203.07 Barrier Level: 70.00% of the Initial = 70.00% x 3,203.07 = 2,242.15 Autocall Level: 110.00% of the Initial = 110.00% x 3,203.07 = 3,523.38 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. 56.00% Final Amount = $56.00 s = $0.00 0.5y (not callable) 55.00% $0.00 1y (not callable) 46.00% $0.00 1.5y 46.00% $0.00 2y 45.00% $0.00 2.5y 56.00% $0.00 3y 49.00% $0.00 3.5y 52.00% $0.00 4y 52.00% $0.00 4.5y 54.00% $0.00 5y 50.00% $0.00 5.5y 47.00% $0.00 6y 44.00% $0.00 6.5y 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) $100.00 + ($100.00 x -44.00%) = $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. 81.00% Final Amount = $100.00 s = $34.93 0.5y (not callable) 105.00% $3.175 1y (not callable) 108.00% $3.175 1.5y 107.00% $3.175 2y 101.00% $3.175 2.5y 85.00% $3.175 3y 49.00% $0.00 3.5y 56.00% $0.00 4y 46.00% $0.00 4.5y 86.00% $3.175 5y 84.00% $3.175 5.5y 88.00% $3.175 6y 86.00% $3.175 6.5y 84.00% $3.175 7y 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:

$100.00 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 $100.00 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 $100.00 per Note. In this example an investor would have received three s of $3.175 ($9.53 Total). 121.00% Final 0.5y (not callable) 112.00% $3.175 1y (not callable) 126.00% $3.175 1.5y 121.00% $3.175 The Notes are automatically called - No future payments in respect of the Notes Amount = $100.00 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: $100.00 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 $100.00 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.

DISCLAIMER No securities regulatory authority has in any way passed upon the merits of the securities referred to herein and any representation to the contrary is an offence. The Notes are not principal protected (subject to a minimum principal repayment of $1.00 per Note) and an investor may receive substantially less than the original principal amount at maturity. A person should reach a decision to invest in the Notes only after carefully considering, with his or her investment, legal, accounting, tax and other advisors, the suitability of the Notes in light of his or her investment objectives and the information set out in the Prospectus. The Bank, the Calculation Agent, Scotia Capital Inc. and Desjardins Securities Inc. make no recommendation as to the suitability of the Notes for investment by any particular person. The Notes have not been, and will not be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the 1933 Act ), or any State securities laws and, subject to certain exceptions, may not be offered for sale, sold or delivered, directly or indirectly, in the United States, its territories or possessions or to or for the account or benefit of U.S. persons within the meaning of Regulation S under the 1933 Act. In addition, the Notes may not be offered or sold to residents of any jurisdiction or country in Europe. Scotiabank, Scotiabank Global Banking and Markets, Scotia Capital Inc. and the flying S logo are registered trademarks of The Bank of Nova Scotia. Amounts paid to holders of the Notes will depend on the price performance of the underlying interests. Unless otherwise specified in the Prospectus, the Bank does not guarantee that any of the principal amount of the Notes will be paid at maturity or that any return will be paid on the Notes (subject to a minimum principal repayment of $1.00 per Note). Purchasers could lose substantially all of their investment in the Notes (subject to a minimum principal repayment of $1.00 per Note). The Notes are not appropriate investments for persons who do not understand the risks associated with structured products or derivatives. A purchaser of the Notes will be exposed to fluctuations and changes in the levels of the Index to which the Notes are linked. Index levels may be volatile and an investment linked to index levels may also be volatile. Purchasers should read carefully the Risk Factors sections in the Prospectus. The Notes will not constitute deposits under the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation Act. The Notes have not been rated and will not be insured by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other entity and therefore the payments to investors will be dependent upon the financial health and creditworthiness of the Bank. Scotia Capital Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank. Consequently, the Bank is a related and connected issuer of Scotia Capital Inc. within the meaning of applicable securities legislation.
