requirements. Thus, a decline in expected dividends yields or an increase in margin requirements may adversely affect the
performance of the Russell 2000® Futures Excess Return Index. In addition, the implicit financing cost will negatively affect the
performance of the Russell 2000® Futures Excess Return Index, with a greater negative effect when market interest rates are
higher. During periods of high market interest rates, the Russell 2000® Futures Excess Return Index is likely to underperform the
equity index underlying the Underlying Futures Contracts, perhaps significantly.
• NEGATIVE ROLL RETURNS ASSOCIATED WITH THE UNDERLYING FUTURES CONTRACTS MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT
THE LEVEL OF THE RUSSELL 2000® FUTURES EXCESS RETURN INDEX AND THE VALUE OF THE NOTES -
The Russell 2000® Futures Excess Return Index tracks the excess return of the Underlying Futures Contracts. Unlike common
equity securities, futures contracts, by their terms, have stated expirations. As the exchange-traded Underlying Futures Contracts
approach expiration, they are replaced by contracts of the same series that have a later expiration. For example, an Underlying
Futures Contract notionally purchased and held in June may specify a September expiration date. As time passes, the contract
expiring in September is replaced by a contract for delivery in December. This is accomplished by notionally selling the September
contract and notionally purchasing the December contract. This process is referred to as "rolling." Excluding other considerations,
if prices are higher in the distant delivery months than in the nearer delivery months, the notional purchase of the December
contract would take place at a price that is higher than the price of the September contract, thereby creating a negative "roll return."
Negative roll returns adversely affect the returns of the Underlying Futures Contracts and, therefore, the level of the Russell 2000®
Futures Excess Return Index and any payments on, and the value of, the notes. Because of the potential effects of negative roll
returns, it is possible for the level of the Russell 2000® Futures Excess Return Index to decrease significantly over time, even when
the levels of the underlying index referenced by the Underlying Futures Contracts are stable or increasing.
• HYPOTHETICAL BACK-TESTED DATA RELATING TO THE RUSSELL 2000® FUTURES EXCESS RETURN INDEX DO NOT
REPRESENT ACTUAL HISTORICAL DATA AND ARE SUBJECT TO INHERENT LIMITATIONS -
The hypothetical back-tested performance of the Russell 2000® Futures Excess Return Index set forth under "The Basket" in this
pricing supplement is purely theoretical and does not represent the actual historical performance of the Russell 2000® Futures
Excess Return Index and has not been verified by an independent third party. Hypothetical back-tested performance measures
have inherent limitations. Alternative modelling techniques might produce significantly different results and may prove to be more
appropriate. Past performance, and especially hypothetical back-tested performance, is not indicative of future results. This type
of information has inherent limitations and you should carefully consider these limitations before placing reliance on such
information. Hypothetical back-tested performance is derived by means of the retroactive application of a back-tested model that
has been designed with the benefit of hindsight.
• THERE ARE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE FUNDS -
The Funds are subject to management risk, which is the risk that the investment strategies of the applicable Fund's investment
adviser, the implementation of which is subject to a number of constraints, may not produce the intended results. These
constraints could adversely affect the market prices of the shares of the Funds and, consequently, the value of the notes.
• THE PERFORMANCE AND MARKET VALUE OF EACH FUND, PARTICULARLY DURING PERIODS OF MARKET
VOLATILITY, MAY NOT CORRELATE WITH THE PERFORMANCE OF THAT FUND'S UNDERLYING INDEX AS WELL AS
THE NET ASSET VALUE PER SHARE -
Each Fund does not fully replicate its Underlying Index (as defined under "The Basket" below) and may hold securities different
from those included in its Underlying Index. In addition, the performance of each Fund will reflect additional transaction costs and
fees that are not included in the calculation of its Underlying Index. All of these factors may lead to a lack of correlation between
the performance of each Fund and its Underlying Index. In addition, corporate actions with respect to the equity securities
underlying a Fund (such as mergers and spin-offs) may impact the variance between the performances of that Fund and its
Underlying Index. Finally, because the shares of each Fund are traded on a securities exchange and are subject to market supply
and investor demand, the market value of one share of each Fund may differ from the net asset value per share of that Fund.
During periods of market volatility, securities underlying each Fund may be unavailable in the secondary market, market
participants may be unable to calculate accurately the net asset value per share of that Fund and the liquidity of that Fund may be
adversely affected. This kind of market volatility may also disrupt the ability of market participants to create and redeem shares of
a Fund. Further, market volatility may adversely affect, sometimes materially, the prices at which market participants are willing to
buy and sell shares of a Fund. As a result, under these circumstances, the market value of shares of a Fund may vary
substantially from the net asset value per share of that Fund. For all of the foregoing reasons, the performance of each Fund may
not correlate with the performance of its Underlying Index as well as the net asset value per share of that Fund, which could
materially and adversely affect the value of the notes in the secondary market and/or reduce any payment on the notes.
