●THE INDEX MAY NOT APPROXIMATE ITS TARGET VOLATILITY -
No assurance can be given that the Index will maintain an annualized realized volatility that approximatesitstarget volatilityof
35%. The Index's target volatilityisa level of implied volatility and therefore the actual realized volatility of the Index maybe
greater or less than the target volatility. On each weekly Index rebalance day, the Index's exposure to the Futures Contracts is set
equal to (a) the 35% impliedvolatility target divided by (b) the one-weekimplied volatilityof the SPY Fund, subject to a maximum
exposure of 500%. The Indexuses the implied volatility of the SPY Fund as a proxy for the volatility of the Futures Contracts.
However, there is no guarantee that the methodology used by the Index to determine the implied volatility of the SPY Fund will be
representative of the implied or realized volatility of the Futures Contracts. Theperformance of the SPY Fundmay not correlate
with the performance of the Futures Contracts, particularlyduring periodsof market volatility. In addition, the volatility of the
Futures Contracts on any daymaychange quicklyandunexpectedly and realizedvolatilitymaydiffer significantly fromimplied
volatility.Ingeneral, over time, the realized volatilities of theSPY Fund and the Futures Contracts have tended to be lower than
their respective impliedvolatilities; however, at any time those realized volatilities mayexceed their respectiveimplied volatilities,
particularly during periodsof market volatility. Accordingly, the actual annualized realized volatilityof the Index may begreater
than or lessthan the target volatility, which mayadverselyaffect the level of theIndex and the value of the notes.
●THE INDEX IS SUBJECT TO RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE USE OF SIGNIFICANT LEVERAGE -
On a weeklyIndex rebalanceday, the Index will employ leverage to increase the exposureof the Index to the Futures Contracts if
theimpliedvolatility of the SPY Fundisbelow 35%, subject to amaximum exposure of 500%. Under normal market conditionsin
the past, the SPY Fund has tended to exhibit an implied volatility below 35%. Accordingly, the Index has generally employed
leveragein the past, except during periodsof elevatedvolatility. When leverage is employed, any movementsin the prices of the
Futures Contracts will result in greater changesin the level of the Index than if leverage were not used. In particular, theuseof
leverage will magnify any negative performance of the Futures Contracts, which, in turn, would negatively affect the performance of
the Index. Because the Index's leverage is adjusted onlyon a weeklybasis, in situations where a significant increase in volatility is
accompanied by asignificant declinein the value of theFutures Contracts, thelevel of the Index may decline significantly before
the following Index rebalanceday when the Index'sexposure to the Futures Contracts would be reduced.
●THE INDEX MAY BE SIGNIFICANTLY UNINVESTED -
On a weeklyIndex rebalanceday, the Index's exposureto the Futures Contracts will be less than 100% when the implied volatility
of the SPY Fund is above 35%. If the Index'sexposure to the Futures Contracts is lessthan 100%, the Index will not be fully
invested, and any uninvested portion will earn no return. The Indexmay be significantly uninvested on any given day, and will
realize only a portion of any gainsdue to appreciation of the Futures Contracts on any such day.The 6.0% per annum deduction
is deducted daily, even when the Indexisnot fully invested.
●THE INDEX MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED IF LATER FUTURES CONTRACTS HAVE HIGHER PRICES THAN AN
EXPIRING FUTURES CONTRACT INCLUDED IN THE INDEX -
As the Futures Contracts included in the Index come to expiration, they are replaced by Futures Contractsthat expirethree months
later. This is accomplished by synthetically selling the expiring Futures Contract and synthetically purchasing the FuturesContract
that expiresthree months from that time. Thisprocess is referred toas "rolling."Excluding other considerations, if themarket for
the Futures Contracts is in "contango," where the prices are higher in thedistant deliverymonths than in the nearer delivery
months, thepurchase of the later Futures Contract wouldtake place at a price that is higher than the price of the expiring Futures
Contract, thereby creating a negative "roll yield."In addition, excludingother considerations, if the market for the FuturesContracts
is in "backwardation," wherethe prices are lower in the distant deliverymonths than in the nearer delivery months, the purchase of
the later Futures Contract would take place at a price that is lower than the price of the expiring Futures Contract, therebycreating
a positive "roll yield."The presence of contango in the market for the Futures Contracts could adversely affect the levelof the
Index and, accordingly, any payment on the notes.
●THE INDEX IS AN EXCESS RETURN INDEX THAT DOES NOT REFLECT "TOTAL RETURNS" -
The Index is an excess return index that does not reflect total returns. The return frominvestingin futures contracts derives from
three sources: (a) changes in the price of the relevant futures contracts (which isknown as the "price return"); (b) anyprofit or loss
realized when rolling the relevant futures contracts (which is known as the "roll return"); and (c) any interest earned on the cash
deposited as collateral for the purchase of the relevant futures contracts(which is known as the "collateral return").
The Index measuresthe returns accrued frominvesting in uncollateralized futures contracts (i.e., the sum of the price return and
the roll return associated with an investment in the Futures Contracts). Bycontrast, a total returnindex, in addition to reflecting
those returns, would also reflect interest that could be earned on funds committed to the trading of the Futures Contracts (i.e., the
collateral return associated with aninvestment in the Futures Contracts).Investing in the notes will not generatethe same return
as would be generated frominvesting in a total return index related to the Futures Contracts.
●CONCENTRATION RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE INDEX MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT THE VALUE OF YOUR NOTES -
The Index generallyprovides exposure to a single futures contract on the S&P 500®Index that trades on the Chicago Mercantile
Exchange. Accordingly, the notesare less diversified than other funds, investment portfolios or indices investingin or tracking a
broader range of products and, therefore, could experience greater volatility. You should be aware that other indicesmay be more
diversified than the Indexin terms of both the number and varietyof futures contracts. Youwill not benefit, with respect to the
notes, from any of the advantagesof a diversified investment and will bear the risks of a highlyconcentrated investment.
●THE INDEX IS SUBJECT TO SIGNIFICANT RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH FUTURES CONTRACTS, INCLUDING VOLATILITY -
The Index tracks thereturnsof futures contracts. The price of a futures contract dependsnot only on the price of the underlying
asset referencedbythe futures contract, but also ona range of other factors, includingbut not limited to changing supplyand
demand relationships, interestrates, governmentaland regulatorypolicies andthe policies of the exchanges on which the futures
contracts trade. In addition, the futuresmarkets aresubject to temporary distortions or other disruptions due to various factors,
includingthe lack of liquidityin the markets, the participation of speculators and government regulation and intervention.These
factors and others can cause the prices of futurescontracts to be volatile.
