General

Key Terms

Index:

The MDAX® Index (the “Index”), converted into U.S. dollars

Payment at Maturity:

Payment at maturity will reflect the performance of the Index, converted into U.S. dollars, subject to the Index Adjustment Factor. Accordingly, at maturity, you will receive an amount per $1,000 principal amount note calculated as follows:

$1,000 × (1 + Index Return) × Index Adjustment Factor

Because the Index Adjustment Factor is 98.80%, you will lose some or all of your investment at maturity if the Index Return is less than approximately 1.21%. For more information on how the Index Adjustment Factor can affect your payment at maturity, please see “What Is the Total Return on the Notes at Maturity, Assuming a Range of Performances for the Index?” in this term sheet.

 

If the value of the U.S. dollar appreciates against the European Union euro, you may lose some or all of your investment in the notes, even if the Index closing level has increased during the term of the notes.

Index Return:

The performance of the Index, converted into U.S. dollars, from the Initial Index Level to the Ending Index Level, calculated as follows:

 

Ending Index Level – Initial Index Level
                Initial Index Level

Index Adjustment Factor:

98.80%

Initial Index Level:

The Adjusted Closing Level of the Index on the pricing date, which is expected to be on or about May 24, 2011

Ending Index Level:

The Adjusted Closing Level of the Index on the Observation Date

Adjusted Closing Level:

On any trading day, the Index closing level on such trading day multiplied by the Exchange Rate on such trading day

Exchange Rate:

The “Exchange Rate” on any trading day will be the spot rate in the interbank market of U.S. dollars per one unit of the European Union euro, as determined by the calculation agent, expressed as the amount of U.S. dollars per one European Union euro, as reported by Reuters Group PLC (“Reuters”) on Reuters page “WMRSPOT05” at approximately 4:00 p.m. Greenwich Mean Time.

Underlying Currency:

The European Union euro

Currency Business Day:

A “currency business day” is a day on which (a) dealings in foreign currency in accordance with the practice of the foreign exchange market occur in the City of New York and London, England and (b) banking institutions in The City of New York and London, England are not otherwise authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close, each as determined by the calculation agent.

What Is the Total Return on the Notes at Maturity, Assuming a Range of Performances for the Index?

The following table and examples illustrate the hypothetical total return at maturity for each $1,000 principal amount note. The “total return” as used in this term sheet is the number, expressed as a percentage, that results from comparing the payment at maturity per $1,000 principal amount note to $1,000. The hypothetical total returns set forth below assume an Initial Index Level of 15400 (based on a hypothetical Index closing level on the pricing date of 11000 and a hypothetical Exchange Rate on the pricing date of 1.40) and reflect the Index Adjustment Factor of 98.80%. The hypothetical total returns set forth below are for illustrative purposes only and may not be the actual total returns at maturity applicable to a purchaser of the notes. The numbers appearing in the following table and examples have been rounded for ease of analysis.

Hypothetical Examples of Amounts Payable at Maturity

The following examples illustrate how the total returns set forth in the table on the previous page are calculated.

Example 1: The level of the Index, converted into U.S. dollars, increases from the Initial Index Level of 15400 to an Ending Index Level of 16170. Because the Ending Index Level of 16170 is greater than the Initial Index Level of 15400, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,037.40 per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:

$1,000 × (1 + 5%) × 98.80% = $1,037.40

Example 2: The level of the Index, converted into U.S. dollars, increases from the Initial Index Level of 15400 to an Ending Index Level of 15477. Although the Ending Index Level of 15477 is greater than the Initial Index Level of 15400, because of the adverse effect of the Index Adjustment Factor, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $992.94 per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:

$1,000 × (1 + 0.50%) × 98.80% = $992.94

Example 3: The level of the Index, converted into U.S. dollars, decreases from the Initial Index Level of 15400 to an Ending Index Level of 12320. Because the Ending Index Level of 12320 is less than the Initial Index Level of 15400, the investor receives a payment at maturity of only $790.40 per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:

$1,000 × (1 + -20%) × 98.80% = $790.40

These returns and the payouts on the notes shown above do not reflect fees or expenses that would be associated with any sale in the secondary market. If these fees and expenses were included, the hypothetical total returns and payouts shown above would likely be lower.

Hypothetical Examples of Index Return Calculations

The following examples illustrate how the Index Return is calculated in different hypothetical scenarios. The examples below assume that the hypothetical closing level of the Index on the pricing date is 11000, the hypothetical Exchange Rate for on the pricing date is 1.40 and, therefore, the hypothetical Initial Index Level is 15400. The hypothetical Index Returns set forth below are for illustrative purposes only and may not be the actual Index Returns. The numbers appearing in the following examples have been rounded for ease of analysis.

Example 1: The Index closing level increases from 11000 on the pricing date to 12100 on the Observation Date, and the Exchange Rate on the Observation Date remains flat at 1.40 from the pricing date to the Observation Date.
The Ending Index Level is equal to:

12100 × 1.40 = 16940

Because the Ending Index Level of 16940 is greater than the Initial Index Level of 15400, the Index Return is positive and is equal to 10%.

Example 2: The Index closing level remains flat at 11000 from the pricing date to the Observation Date, and the Exchange Rate increases from 1.40 on the pricing date to 1.68 on the Observation Date.
The Ending Index Level is equal to:

11000 × 1.68 = 18480

Because the Ending Index Level of 18480 is greater than the Initial Index Level of 15400, the Index Return is positive and is equal to 20%.

Example 3: The Index closing level increases from 11000 on the pricing date to 12100 on the Observation Date, and the Exchange Rate increases from 1.40 on the pricing date to 1.68 on the Observation Date.
The Ending Index Level is equal to:

12100 × 1.68 = 20328

Because the Ending Index Level of 20328 is greater than the Initial Index Level of 15400, the Index Return is positive and is equal to 32%.

Example 4: The Index closing level increases from 11000 on the pricing date to 12100 on the Observation Date, but the Exchange Rate decreases from 1.40 on the pricing date to 1.12 on the Observation Date.
The Ending Index Level of the Index is equal to:

12100 × 1.12 = 13552

Even though the closing level of the Index has increased by 10%, because the Exchange Rate has decreased by 20%, the Ending Index Level of 13552 is less than the Initial Index Level of 15400, and the Index Return is negative and is equal to -12%.

Example 5: The Index closing level decreases from 11000 on the pricing date to 9900 on the Observation Date, but the Exchange Rate increases from 1.40 on the pricing date to 1.68 on the Observation Date.
The Ending Index Level is equal to:

9900 × 1.68 = 16632

Even though the closing level of the Index has decreased by 10%, because the Exchange Rate has increased by 20%, the Ending Index Level of 16632 is greater than the Initial Index Level of 15400, and the Index Return is positive and is equal to 8%.

Example 6: The Index closing level decreases from 11000 on the pricing date to 9900 on the Observation Date, and the Exchange Rate decreases from 1.40 on the pricing date to 1.12 on the Observation Date.
The Ending Index Level is equal to:

9900 × 1.12 = 11088

Because the Ending Index Level of 11088 is less than the Initial Index Level of 15400, the Index Return is negative and is equal to -28%.

Example 7: The Index closing level remains flat at 11000 from the pricing date to the Observation Date, and the Exchange Rate decreases from 1.40 on the pricing date to 1.12 on the Observation Date.
The Ending Index Level is equal to:

11000 × 1.12 = 12320

Because the Ending Index Level of 12320 is less than the Initial Index Level of 15400, the Index Return is negative and is equal to -20%.

Example 8: The Index closing level decreases from 11000 on the pricing date to 9900 on the Observation Date, and the Exchange Rate remains flat at 1.40 from the pricing date to the Observation Date.
The Ending Index Level is equal to:

9900 × 1.40 = 13860

Because the Ending Index Level of 13860 is less than the Initial Index Level of 15400, the Index Return is negative and is equal to -10%.
