Maturity Date:

June 15, 2023

Interest:

With respect to each Interest Period, for each $1,000 principal amount note, the interest payment will be calculated as follows:
$1,000 × Interest Rate × (30/360).

Interest Rate:

With respect to each Initial Interest Period (which we expect to be from June 15, 2011 through but excluding June 15, 2013), a rate equal to 4.25% per annum. With respect to each Interest Period thereafter, a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (a) the CPI Rate on each applicable Determination Date plus 1.75%, and (b) the applicable Maximum Interest Rate. In no case will the Interest Rate for any monthly Interest Period be less than the Minimum Interest Rate of 0.00% per annum.

Initial Interest Period(s):

The period beginning on and including the issue date of the notes and ending on but excluding the first Interest Payment Date and each successive period beginning on and including an Interest Payment Date and ending on but excluding June 15, 2013.

CPI Rate:

For any Interest Period (other than the Initial Interest Periods), the CPI Rate will be calculated as follows:

 

CPIt - CPIt-12
CPIt-12

where: “CPIt” is the CPI level for the second calendar month prior to the calendar month of the applicable Determination Date, which we refer to as the reference month; and “CPIt-12 is the CPI level for the twelfth month prior to the applicable reference month.

After the Initial Interest Periods, the second business day immediately preceding the beginning of the applicable Interest Period. For example, June 12, 2014 (which is two business days immediately prior to June 15, 2014) is the Determination Date of the CPI Rate with respect to interest due and payable on July 15, 2014. On the June 2014 Determination Date, interest will be based on changes between the CPI level in April 2013 and April 2014.

Payment at Maturity:

On the Maturity Date, we will pay you the principal amount of your notes plus any accrued and unpaid interest.

the actual amount of interest payments made and the projected amount of the interest payments (as reflected in the projected payment schedule). Under the forgoing rules, you will not be required to separately include in income the interest payments you receive with respect to the notes. To obtain the comparable yield and the projected payment schedule in respect of the notes, contact a certified financial analyst at the Global Securities Group desk at (800) 576-3529. Generally, amounts received at maturity or earlier sale or disposition in excess of your tax basis, if any, will be treated as additional interest income while any loss will be treated as an ordinary loss to the extent of all previous interest inclusions with respect to the notes, which will be deductible against other income (e.g., employment and interest income), with the balance treated as capital loss, the deductibility of which may be subject to limitations. Purchasers who are not initial purchasers of notes at the issue price should consult their tax advisers with respect to the tax consequences of an investment in the notes, including the treatment of the difference, if any, between their basis in the notes and the notes’ adjusted issue price.

Subject to certain assumptions and representations received from us, the discussion in this section entitled “Taxed as Contingent Payment Debt Instruments”, when read in combination with the section entitled “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement, constitutes the full opinion of Sidley Austin LLP regarding the material U.S. federal income tax treatment of owning and disposing of the notes.

What is the Consumer Price Index?

The CPI for purposes of the notes is the non-seasonally adjusted U.S. City Average All Items Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers, reported monthly by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Labor Department (the “BLS”) and published on Bloomberg CPURNSA or any successor source.

Hypothetical Interest Rates Based on Historical CPI Levels

Provided below are historical levels of the CPI as reported by the BLS for the period from January 2002 to February 2011. Also provided below are the hypothetical Interest Rates for hypothetical interest payments in the calendar months from January 2004 to April 2011 that would have resulted from the historical levels of the CPI presented below, based on the spread of 1.75%, the Minimum Interest Rate of 0.00% per annum and assuming the Maximum Interest Rate of 6.00% per annum. We obtained the historical information included below from Bloomberg Financial Markets and we make no representation or warranty as to the accuracy of completeness of the information so obtained from Bloomberg Financial Markets.

The historical levels of the CPI should not be taken as an indication of future levels of the CPI, and no assurance can be given as to the level of the CPI for any reference month. The hypothetical Interest Rates that follow are intended to illustrate the effect of general trends in the CPI on the amount of interest payable to you on the notes and assume that the change in the CPI will be measured on a year-over-year basis. However, the CPI may not increase or decrease over the term of the notes in accordance with any of the trends depicted by the historical information in the table below, and the size and frequency of any fluctuations in the CPI level over the term of the notes, which we refer to as the volatility of the CPI, may be significantly different than the historical volatility of the CPI indicated in the table. Additionally, for ease of presentation, the hypothetical Interest Rates set forth below have only been calculated to the third decimal point and rounded to the nearest second decimal point, which is different from the rounding convention applicable to the notes. As a result, the hypothetical Interest Rates depicted in the table below should not be taken as an indication of the actual Interest Rates that will be paid with regard to the Interest Periods over the term of the notes.

These returns 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 shown above would be lower.

Interest Calculation

Example 1: Since the Interest Period commencing June 15, 2011 has an Interest Rate of 4.25% per annum (due to such Interest Period falling in the Initial Interest Periods), the interest payment per $1,000 principal amount note for the anticipated Interest Period from and including June 15, 2011 to but excluding July 17, 2011 will be $3.54. This monthly interest payment is calculated as follows:

$1,000 × 4.25% × (30/360) = $3.54

The example above is simplified and the calculation is rounded for ease of analysis.

Example 2: Assuming the initial fixed rate for the Initial Interest Periods did not apply, assuming the Maximum Interest Rate of 6.00% per annum, and assuming February 13, 2011 was a Determination Date, the hypothetical Interest Rate would be 2.89% per annum, resulting in a hypothetical $2.41 interest payment per $1,000 principal amount note for the hypothetical Interest Period from and including February 15, 2011 to but excluding March 15, 2011. This monthly interest payment is calculated as follows:

1,000 × 2.89% × (30/360) = $2.41

The Interest Rate of 2.89% per annum is calculated by adding 1.75% to the relevant CPI Rate. The CPI Rate is calculated based on the percent change in the CPI for the one year period from November 2009 (216.330) to November 2010 (218.803) as follows:

CPI Rate =

218.803 – 216.330
216.330

= 1.14% per annum

Adding 1.75% to the CPI Rate of 1.14% results in an anticipated Interest Rate applicable for that month of 2.89% per annum. The example above is simplified and the calculation is rounded for ease of analysis.
