2 Year Buffered Enhanced Participation Notes Linked to a Basket of Emerging Market Currencies Relative to the U.S. Dollar

Closes July 8, 2010 at 3:00 PM EDT

The Buffered Enhanced Participation Notes are designed for investors who seek a return at maturity (2 Years) of between 330% and 350% (the actual Participation Rate will be determined on the Trade Date) the appreciation, if any, of an equally weighted basket of currencies consisting of the Brazilian Real, the Indonesian Rupiah, the Indian Rupee and the Chinese Renminbi relative to the U.S. Dollar.  The maximum possible Basket Performance will equal 100% and, therefore, the return on the securities is capped by the Participation Rate of 330% to 350%.

The investment will protect investors from the first 10% decline in the basket. However, if the Basket has declined by more than 10%, observed at maturity, investors will participate in the basket’s decline beyond its first 10% decline.

Any payment at maturity of the securities is subject to the credit of the Issuer.
