Variable Return

The Variable Return calculation is the formula used to determine the Variable Return on the Notes at the Maturity Date. The Variable Return, if any, on a Note is linked to the performance of the Portfolio and is calculated as follows:

‘‘NAVFINAL’’ means, at any time (expressed pro rata per Note), the notional proceeds from the liquidation of the Fund Account plus the maturity value of the Bond Account as calculated by the Calculation Agent, minus repayment of any accrued and unpaid Program Fees. An Investor cannot elect to receive the Variable Return, if any, prior to the Maturity Date and the Notes cannot be redeemed or retracted prior to the Maturity Date. There is a possibility that an Investor may not receive any Variable Return.
