Return Enhanced Notes Linked to the Common Stock of Deere & Company due
 October 31, 2012

General

Key Terms

Reference Stock:

The common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of Deere & Company (New York Stock Exchange symbol “DE”). We refer to Deere & Company as “Deere.”

Upside Leverage Factor:

2

Payment at Maturity:

If the Final Share Price is greater than the Strike Price, at maturity you will receive a cash payment that provides you with a return per $1,000 principal amount note equal to the Stock Return multiplied by 2, subject to a Maximum Total Return on the notes of at least 40.00%*. For example, if the Stock Return is equal to or greater than 20.00%, you will receive the Maximum Total Return on the notes of 40.00%*, which entitles you to a maximum payment at maturity of $1,400* for every $1,000 principal amount note that you hold. Accordingly, if the Stock Return is positive, your payment at maturity per $1,000 principal amount note will be calculated as follows, subject to the Maximum Total Return:

$1,000 + ($1,000 × Stock Return × 2)
*The actual Maximum Total Return on the notes and the actual maximum payment at maturity will be set on the pricing date and will not be less than 40.00% and $1,400 per $1,000 principal amount note, respectively.

 

If the Final Share Price is equal to the Strike Price, you will receive the principal amount of your notes at maturity.

Your investment will be fully exposed to any decline in the price of the Reference Stock. If the Final Share Price is less than the Strike Price, you will lose 1% of the principal amount of your notes for every 1% that the Final Share Price is less than the Strike Price, and your payment at maturity per $1,000 principal amount note will be calculated as follows:

 

$1,000 + ($1,000 × Stock Return)

 

You will lose some or all of your investment at maturity if the Final Share Price is less than the Strike Price.

Stock Return:

Final Share Price – Strike Price 
             Strike Price

Strike Price:

A price to be determined on the pricing date in the sole discretion of the calculation agent. The Strike Price may or may not be the closing price of the Reference Stock on the pricing date. Although the calculation agent will make all determinations and will take all action in relation to establishing the Strike Price in good faith, it should be noted that such discretion could have an impact (positive or negative) on the value of your notes. The calculation agent is under no obligation to consider your interests as a holder of the notes in taking any actions, including the determination of the Strike Price, that might affect the value of your notes.

Final Share Price:

The arithmetic average of the closing prices of the Reference Stock on each of the five Ending Averaging Dates, each multiplied by the Stock Adjustment Factor on such date

Stock Adjustment Factor:

Set initially at 1.0 on the pricing date and subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. See “Description of Notes — Payment at Maturity” and “General Terms of Notes — Anti-Dilution Adjustments” in the accompanying product supplement no. 133-A-II for further information.

Ending Averaging Dates:

October 22, 2012, October 23, 2012, October 24, 2012, October 25, 2012 and October 26, 2012

Maturity Date:

October 31, 2012

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

The following table, graph and examples illustrate the hypothetical total return at maturity on the notes. 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 a Strike Price of $73.00 and a Maximum Total Return on the notes of 40.00%.

Hypothetical Examples of Amounts Payable at Maturity

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

Example 1: The closing price of the Reference Stock increases from the Strike Price of $73.00 to a Final Share Price of $76.65. Because the Final Share Price of $76.65 is greater than the Strike Price of $73.00 and the Stock Return of 5% multiplied by 2 does not exceed the hypothetical Maximum Total Return of 40.00%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,100 per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + ($1,000 × 5% × 2) = $1,100

Example 2: The closing price of the Reference Stock increases from the Strike Price of $73.00 to a Final Share Price of $94.90. Because the Final Share Price of $94.90 is greater than the Strike Price of $73.00 and the Stock Return of 30% multiplied by 2 exceeds the hypothetical Maximum Total Return of 40.00%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,400 per $1,000 principal amount note, the hypothetical maximum payment on the notes.

Example 3: The closing price of the Reference Stock decreases from the Strike Price of $73.00 to a Final Share Price of $58.40. Because the Final Share Price of $58.40 is less than the Strike Price of $73.00, the Stock Return is negative, and the investor receives a payment at maturity of $800 per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + ($1,000 × -20%) = $800 

The hypothetical returns and hypothetical 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.
