MATURITY REDEMPTION AMOUNT CALCULATION

The amount payable on the Notes if they are automatically called by the Bank or at maturity will be calculated by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the formulae below:


i.             If the Final Index Level on an Autocall Valuation Date or the Final Valuation Date is greater than or equal to the Autocall Level, the Maturity Redemption Amount will equal:

Principal Amount + [Principal Amount x Participation Rate x (Index Return – 10.00%)]

ii.            If the Final Index Level on the Final Valuation Date is less than the Autocall Level and greater than the Barrier Level, the Maturity Redemption Amount will equal:

Principal Amount

iii.           If the Final Index Level on the Final Valuation Date is equal to or less than the Barrier Level, the Maturity Redemption Amount will equal:

Principal Amount + (Principal Amount x Index Return)

Where:

Barrier Level: 75% of the Initial Index Level;

The Maturity Redemption Amount may be less than the Principal Outstanding and the Principal Amount invested by an Investor.

The Maturity Redemption Amount will be subject to a minimum principal repayment of $1.00 per Note.
