Sample Calculations of Redemption Amount and Interest Payments:
Sample Calculations of Redemption Amount and Interest Payments
The examples set out below are included for illustration purposes only. The levels of the Index used to illustrate the calculation of the Redemption Amount are not estimates or forecasts of the Initial Index Level and Final Index Level, on which the calculation of the Redemption Amount will depend. All examples below assume that a holder of the Securities has purchased Securities with an aggregate principal amount of US$100.00, that no Extraordinary Event has occurred and a Protection Barrier Level of 70.00% of the Initial Index Level. For convenience, each vertical line in the charts below represents the next succeeding Interest Payment Date. Certain dollar amounts are rounded to the nearest whole cent.
Example #1 — Index Significantly Decreases With Payment on the Maturity Date Less Than the Principal Amount
==> picture [345 x 177] intentionally omitted <==
In this scenario, on the Final Valuation Date, the Final Index Level is below the Protection Barrier Level. The Index has an Initial Index Level (Xi) of 3,693.23 and a Final Index Level (Xf) of 2,400.60. Therefore, the Redemption Amount would be calculated as follows:
Principal Amount of Securities × (Xf / Xi)
US$100 × (2,400.60 / 3,693.23) = US$65.00
Since the monthly coupon of US$0.5708 per Security is not contingent on or related to the performance of the Index, the total Interest Payments during the term of the Securities are as follows:
Principal Amount of Securities × 0.5708% per Interest Period × 36 Interest Periods
US$100 × 0.5708% × 36 = US$20.55
Therefore, the total amounts payable to the holder of a Security during the 36-month period from the Issue Date to the Maturity Date are:
(a) Redemption Amount: US$65.00
- (b) Total Interest Payments made: US$20.55
(c) Total amount paid over the term of the Securities: US$85.55
The equivalent annually compounded rate of return in this example is -5.07%.

Sample Calculations: Example #2 — Index Slightly Decreases With Payment on the Maturity Date Equal to the Principal Amount (continued)
==> picture [362 x 190] intentionally omitted <==
In this scenario, on the Final Valuation Date, the Final Index Level is above the Protection Barrier Level. Therefore, the Redemption Amount would be equal to US$100.
Since the monthly coupon of US$0.5708 per Security is not contingent on or related to the performance of the Index, the total Interest Payments made during the term of the Securities are as follows:
Principal Amount of Securities × 0.5708% per Interest Period × 36 Interest Periods
US$100 × 0.5708% × 36 = US$20.55
Therefore, the total amounts payable to the holder of a Security during the 36-month period from the Issue Date to the Maturity Date are:
- (a) Redemption Amount: US$100.00
(b) Total Interest Payments made on Interest Payment Dates: US$20.55
(c) Total amount paid over the term of the Securities: US$120.55
The equivalent annually compounded rate of return in this example is 6.43%.

Sample Calculations: Example #3 — Index Increases With Payment on the Maturity Date Equal to the Principal Amount (continued)
==> picture [349 x 175] intentionally omitted <==
In this scenario, on the Final Valuation Date, the Final Index Level is above the Protection Barrier Level. Therefore, the Redemption Amount would be equal to US$100.
Since the monthly coupon of US$0.5708 per Security is not contingent on or related to the performance of the Index, the total Interest Payments made during the term of the Securities are as follows:
Principal Amount of Securities × 0.5708% per Interest Period × 36 Interest Periods
US$100 × 0.5708% × 36 = US$20.55
Therefore, the total amounts payable to the holder of a Security during the 36-month period from the Issue Date to the Maturity Date are:
-
(a) Redemption Amount: US$100.00
-
(b) Total Interest Payments made on Interest Payment Dates: US$20.55
(c) Total amount paid over the term of the Securities: US$120.55
The equivalent annually compounded rate of return in this example is 6.43%.

The Securities are considered to be “specified derivatives” under applicable Canadian securities laws. If you purchase Securities, you will be exposed to changes in the level of the Index and fluctuations in interest rates, among other factors.
