Citi BRIC Enhanced Commodities Index Index Conditions The following is the description of the Citi BRIC Enhanced Commodities Index (the Index). The Index was established on 4 January 2010 (the Establishment Date) and back-calculated from 31 December 2002 (the Start Date). The Index is determined by Citigroup Global Markets Limited (the Index Sponsor) in accordance with the methodology described below. No assurance can be given that market, regulatory, juridical or fiscal circumstances or, without limitation, any other circumstances in the determination of the Index Sponsor will not arise that would necessitate a modification or change of such methodology. Although the Index Sponsor will obtain information for inclusion in or for use in the calculation of the Index from sources which the Index Sponsor considers reliable, the Index Sponsor will not publish or independently verify such information and does not guarantee the accuracy and/or completeness of the Index or any of the data included therein. The Index Sponsor makes no express or implied representations or warranties as to (a) the advisability of purchasing or assuming any risk in connection with any transaction linked in whole or in part to the Index, (b) the levels at which the Index stands at any particular time on any particular date, (c) the results to be obtained by the issuer of any security or any counterparty or any such issuer's security holders or customers or any such counterparty's customers or counterparties or any other person or entity from the use of the Index or any data included therein for any use, or (d) any other matter. The Index Sponsor makes no express or implied representations or warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose with respect to the Index or any data included therein. Without limiting any of the foregoing, in no event shall the Index Sponsor have any liability (whether in negligence or otherwise) to any person for any direct, indirect, special, punitive, consequential or any other damages (including lost profits) even if notified of the possibility of such damages. General The Index reflects the weighted performance of the Underlying Indices as more fully described in Index Condition 1. Each year, the Index Sponsor will determine the Annual Weight for each Underlying Index as more fully described in Index Condition 2. An Excess Return Index Value and a Total Return Index Value for the Index is calculated in respect of each Index Business Day in accordance with Index Condition 3. The Index is sponsored by the Index Sponsor. The Index is calculated by the Index Sponsor on a notional basis. Investors in any financial instrument or transaction linked directly or indirectly in whole or in part to the performance of the Index will not have any proprietary interest in the Index or any of the components that comprise the Index from time to time. 2010-04-26

1. INDEX CONSTITUTION 1.1 Composition of the Index The Index Sponsor calculates the Index, which reflects the weighted performance of the thirteen Citi Commodities Curve Beta Enhanced Indices (Citi CUBES) set out in Appendix A hereto (each an Underlying Index and together, the Underlying Indices). The methodology of the Underlying Indices is set out in the Index Conditions of Citi CUBES (the Citi CUBES Index Conditions), which are available on the following website: https://www.citigroupcib.com/euprospectus 1.2 Calculation and Publication of the Index The Index Sponsor will calculate (i) an index value on an excess return basis (the Excess Return Index Value) and (ii) an index value on a total return basis (the Total Return Index Value and, together with the Excess Return Index Value, the Index Values) for the Index in respect of each Index Business Day. The Excess Return Index Value rounded to three decimal places will be the Published Excess Return Index Value and the Total Return Index Value rounded to three decimal places will be the Published Total Return Index Value. The Published Total Return Index Value and the Published Excess Return Index Value (together the Published Index Values) in respect of the Index will be published on the Bloomberg ticker specified in the table below under the heading "Index Bloomberg Ticker" at the Index Valuation Time on the immediately following Index Business Day. Index Citi BRIC Enhanced Commodities Index Published Excess Return Index Value CCUBBCER Index Index Bloomberg Ticker Published Total Return Index Value CCUBBCTR Index 1.3 Index Discontinuation The Index Sponsor may cease calculating the Index Values and publishing the Published Index Values in respect of the Index and/or discontinue the Index at any time on the occurrence of the following (each a Discontinuation Event): (a) (b) an Underlying Index is discontinued and/or an index value in respect of an Underlying Index is no longer calculated or published; or the Index Sponsor acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner is unable to determine the Annual Weights from one or more Consumption Quantity Data Source(s) which are in its opinion quoting commercially reasonable relevant Consumption Quantity(ies). The Index Sponsor shall make available relevant details in accordance with Index Condition 4 as soon as practicable following the occurrence of a Discontinuation Event. 2. ANNUAL WEIGHTS DETERMINATION METHODOLOGY The Index Sponsor determined or, as applicable, will determine the weight for each Underlying Index (the Annual Weight) in respect of each calendar year (an Annual Weights Year) from and including the Start Year as the quotient of (a) the Implied Consumption Value for the Associated Commodity in respect of such Underlying Index (as numerator) and (b) the Total Implied Consumption Value (as denominator). 2

A table illustrating the determination of Annual Weights for 2010 is provided in Appendix B hereto. The Annual Weights for an Annual Weights Year will be available on request from the Index Sponsor on or before the first Index Business Day of such Annual Weights Year. 3. INDEX VALUE CALCULATION METHODOLOGY The Index Sponsor will calculate the Index Values in respect of each Index Business Day as more fully described in this Index Condition 3. Figures used in calculations in respect of the Index, including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Index Values, will not be rounded. The Published Index Values in respect of the Index will be rounded to three decimal places. The precision in respect of all calculations and determinations is based on the Microsoft VBA precision for the datatype double. 3.1 Excess Return Index Value Calculation In respect of the Start Date, each of the Excess Return Index Value and the Published Excess Return Index Value in respect of the Index was 100. In respect of each Index Business Day after the Start Date, the Excess Return Index Value in respect of the Index was or, as applicable, will be calculated as follows: where: u ERIV d = ERIV d-1 + UERIU u,d-1 x ( UPERIV u,d UPERIV u,d-1 ) ERIV d ERIV d-1 UERIU u,d-1 UPERIV u,d UPERIV u,d-1 is the Excess Return Index Value of the Index in respect of Index Business Day d; is the Excess Return Index Value of the Index in respect of the Index Business Day immediately preceding Index Business Day d; is the Underlying Excess Return Index Units in respect of Underlying Index u in relation to the Index Business Day immediately preceding Index Business Day d; is the Published Excess Return Index Value (as defined in the Citi CUBES Index Conditions) of Underlying Index u in respect of Index Business Day d; and is the Published Excess Return Index Value (as defined in the Citi CUBES Index Conditions) of Underlying Index u in respect of the Index Business Day immediately preceding Index Business Day d. In respect of the Start Date, the Underlying Excess Return Index Units in respect of each Underlying Index was as set out in Appendix D. In respect of each Index Business Day (each a Relevant Day) following the Start Date, the Underlying Excess Return Index Units in respect of each Underlying Index was or, as applicable, will be calculated as follows: If (a) such Relevant Day is an Exchange Business Day, (b) such Relevant Day is not a Disrupted Day in respect of such Underlying Index and (c)(i) such Relevant Day is the 3

first Exchange Business Day of the calendar month in which such Relevant Day falls (a Relevant Month) or (ii) there has not been an Exchange Business Day in the Relevant Month which is not a Disrupted Index Business Day: UERIU u,d = ERIV d x AW u,d UPERIV u,d ; or otherwise: where: UERIU u,d = UERIU u,d-1 UERIU u,d UERIU u,d-1 AW u,d is the Underlying Excess Return Index Units in respect of Underlying Index u in relation to Index Business Day d; is the Underlying Excess Return Index Units in respect of Underlying Index u in relation to the Index Business Day immediately preceding Index Business Day d; and is the Annual Weight in respect of Underlying Index u in respect of the Annual Weights Year on which Index Business Day d falls. The Published Excess Return Index Value of the Index in respect of each Index Business Day is the Excess Return Index Value in respect of such Index Business Day, rounded to three decimal places. 3.2 Total Return Index Value Calculation In respect of the Start Date, each of the Total Return Index Value and the Published Total Return Index Value in respect of the Index was 100. In respect of each Index Business Day after the Start Date, the Total Return Index Value in respect of the Index was or, as applicable, will be calculated as follows: where: u TRIV d = TRIV d-1 + [ UTRIU u,d-1 x ( UPTRIV u,d UPTRIV u,d-1 ) ] TRIV d TRIV d-1 UTRIU u,d-1 UPTRIV u,d UPTRIV u,d-1 is the Total Return Index Value of the Index in respect of Index Business Day d; is the Total Return Index Value of the Index in respect of the Index Business Day immediately preceding Index Business Day d; is the Underlying Total Return Index Units in respect of Underlying Index u in relation to the Index Business Day immediately preceding Index Business Day d; is the Published Total Return Index Value (as defined in the Citi CUBES Index Conditions) of Underlying Index u in respect of Index Business Day d; and is the Published Total Return Index Value (as defined in the Citi CUBES Index Conditions) of Underlying Index u in respect of the Index Business Day immediately preceding Index Business Day d. 4

In respect of the Start Date, the Underlying Total Return Index Units in respect of each Underlying Index was as set out in Appendix D. In respect of each Index Business Day (each a Relevant Day) following the Start Date, the Underlying Total Return Index Units in respect of each Underlying Index was or, as applicable, will be calculated as follows: If (a) such Relevant Day is an Exchange Business Day, (b) such Relevant Day is not a Disrupted Day in respect of such Underlying Index and (c)(i) such Relevant Day is the first Exchange Business Day of the calendar month in which such Relevant Day falls (a Relevant Month) or (ii) there has not been an Exchange Business Day in the Relevant Month which is not a Disrupted Index Business Day: UTRIU u,d = TRIV d x AW u,d UPTRIV u,d ; or otherwise: where: UTRIU u,d = UTRIU u,d-1 UTRIU u,d UTRIU u,d-1 AW u,d is the Underlying Total Return Index Units in respect of Underlying Index u in relation to Index Business Day d; is the Underlying Total Return Index Units in respect of Underlying Index u in relation to the Index Business Day immediately preceding Index Business Day d; and is the Annual Weight in respect of Underlying Index u in respect of the Annual Weights Year on which Index Business Day d falls. The Published Total Return Index Value of the Index in respect of each Index Business Day is the Total Return Index Value in respect of such Index Business Day, rounded to three decimal places. 4. CALCULATIONS, DETERMINATIONS AND CANCELLATIONS General: The Index Sponsor shall make all calculations, determinations, rebalancings and adjustments in respect of the Index. The Index Sponsor shall have no responsibility for good faith errors or omissions in its calculations, determinations, rebalancings and adjustments as provided in these Index Conditions. The calculations, determinations, rebalancings and adjustments of the Index Sponsor shall be made by it in accordance with these Index Conditions, acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner (having regard in each case to the criteria stipulated herein and (where relevant) on the basis of information provided to or obtained by employees or officers of the Index Sponsor responsible for making the relevant calculation, determination, rebalancing or adjustment). All calculations, determinations, rebalancings and adjustments shall, in the absence of manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding on any user of any Index including any holder of or counterparty to an investment linked to the Index. For the avoidance of doubt, any calculations, determinations, rebalancings or adjustments made by the Index Sponsor under these Index Conditions on an estimated basis shall not be revised following the making of such calculation, determination, rebalancing or adjustment. While the Index Sponsor currently employs the methodology described in these Index Conditions to calculate the Index, if market, regulatory, juridical or fiscal circumstances or, without limitation, any other circumstances arise that would, in the determination of the Index Sponsor, necessitate a modification or change to such methodology or the permanent discontinuance of the determination and publication of the Index, the Index Sponsor may make such modifications or changes as it considers appropriate to deal with such circumstances or, as the case may be, 5

permanently discontinue the determination and publication of the Index. Information relating to such action, if any, will be promptly recorded and will be made available on the following website: https://www.citigroupcib.com/euprospectus Rounding: Unless otherwise stated, any price, number, currency amount or percentage calculated by the Index Sponsor will be rounded to such number of decimal places and in such a manner as the Index Sponsor determines is appropriate acting in a commercially reasonable manner, in each case using the Microsoft Excel function Round. The precision in respect of all calculations and determinations is based on the Microsoft VBA precision for the datatype double. Use of Estimates: The Index Sponsor will make calculations, determinations, rebalancings and adjustments as described in these Index Conditions using the information, price sources or factors as specified in these Index Conditions and may undertake any of such measures in any order. However, should the Index Sponsor not be able to obtain the necessary information or be able to use the specified price sources or factors, then, after using reasonable endeavours and after applying all fallback provisions specified in these Index Conditions in relation to such calculation, determination, rebalancing or adjustment, the Index Sponsor shall be permitted to use its estimate (arrived at in good faith and a commercially reasonable manner) of the relevant information, price source or factor in making the relevant calculations, determinations, rebalancings or adjustments should it determine that such estimate is reasonably necessary in order to give effect to any provision or calculate any value required by any provision of these Index Conditions. Corrections: If the Index Sponsor becomes aware that any value, level, account or other information used by it in connection with any calculation, determination, rebalancing or adjustment in respect of these Index Conditions has been corrected or adjusted the Index Sponsor may, but shall not be obliged to, use such corrected or adjusted value, level, amount or other information and, as a consequence, make any change, adjustment, rebalancing, determination or calculation in respect of these Index Conditions it determines necessary or desirable to give effect to or reflect such corrected or adjusted value, level, amount or other information in its discretion including, without limitation, to take account of any redenomination, exchange or conversion of any currency into a successor currency. Reliance: In making any calculations, determinations, rebalancings or adjustments, the Index Sponsor may rely upon the opinion of any person who appears to it as being competent to value assets of any class or classes by reason of any appropriate professional qualification or experience of any relevant market or asset. Not Acting as Fiduciary: In making calculations, determinations, rebalancings and adjustments under the Index Conditions, the Index Sponsor shall act as principal and not as agent or fiduciary of any other person. Each calculation, determination, rebalancing and adjustment performed by the Index Sponsor under the Index Conditions is performed in reliance upon this and subject thereto. If by performing any such calculation, determination, rebalancing or adjustment the Index Sponsor is rendered an agent or fiduciary for another person under applicable law, then the Index Sponsor's right and obligation to perform such calculation, determination, rebalancing or adjustment may be suspended at the option of the Index Sponsor (or, if already performed, its application may be suspended) until such calculation, determination, rebalancing or adjustment may be performed by the Index Sponsor as principal and not as agent or fiduciary (or until it may be performed by an appropriate third party that is willing and able to perform it). Dates of Calculations: Notwithstanding that certain calculations, determinations, rebalancings and adjustments in these Index Conditions may be expressed to be "on" a certain date, the Index 6

Sponsor may make such calculations, determinations, rebalancings and adjustments in respect of that date on a date after that date determined by it in its discretion.
