Key Terms	Terms used in this free writing prospectus, but not defined herein, shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the prospectus supplement.
Issuer:	Barclays Bank PLC
Reference Asset:	An equally-weighted basket consisting of the currency exchange rates between (i) the Euro and the South Korean won (the “EUR-KRW” currency exchange rate), (ii) the Euro and the Indonesian rupiah (the “EUR-IDR” currency exchange rate), and (iii) the Euro and the Singapore dollar (the “EUR-SGD” currency exchange rate”) (each, a “currency exchange rate” and a “basket component”). The currency exchange rates on any given day, including the pricing date and the averaging dates, will be determined by the calculation agent in accordance with the following: (a)    where the currency exchange rate is EUR-KRW, the South Korean won per Euro exchange rate, which will be determined as the rate equal to the South Korean won per U.S. dollar exchange rate, which appears on Reuters Screen KFTC18 at approximately 3:30 p.m. Seoul time, multiplied by the average of the bid and offer of the U.S. dollar per Euro exchange rate, which appears on Reuters screen TKYFX below the caption “EUR/DLR” at approximately 1:00 p.m., Singapore time; (b)    where the currency exchange rate is EUR-IDR, the Indonesian rupiah per Euro exchange rate, which will be determined as the rate equal to the Indonesian rupiah per U.S. dollar exchange rate, which appears on Reuters Screen ABSIRFIX01 to the right of the caption “Spot” under the column “IDR” at approximately 11:30 a.m. Singapore time, multiplied by the average of the bid and offer of the U.S. dollar per Euro exchange rate, which appears on Reuters screen TKYFX below the caption “EUR/DLR” at approximately 1:00 p.m., Singapore time; and (c)    where the currency exchange rate is EUR-SGD, the Singapore dollar per Euro exchange rate, which will be determined as the rate equal to the Singapore dollar per U.S. dollar exchange rate, which appears on Reuters Screen ABSIRFIX01 to the right of the caption “Spot” under the column “SGD” at approximately 11:30 a.m. Singapore time, multiplied by the average of the bid and offer of the U.S. dollar per Euro exchange rate, which appears on Reuters screen TKYFX below the caption “EUR/DLR” at approximately 1:00 p.m., Singapore time.
Minimum Coupon Percentage:	24.00%
Payment at Maturity:	If you hold your Notes to maturity, you will receive a cash payment determined as follows: If the reference asset return is equal to or greater than 0%, you will receive at maturity a cash payment equal to the principal amount of your Notes plus (i) 100% of your principal amount multiplied by (ii) the greater of (a) the minimum coupon percentage and (b) the reference asset return, calculated as follows: $1,000 + [$1,000 × the greater of (a) Minimum Coupon Percentage and (b) Reference Asset Return] If the reference asset return is negative, your principal is protected up to a reference asset return of –5%. If the reference asset return is less than 0% and greater than or equal to –5%, you will receive the principal amount of your Notes at maturity. If the reference asset return is less than –5%, you will lose 1.0526% of the principal amount of your Notes for every 1% that the reference asset return is less than –5%. Accordingly, your payment per $1,000 principal amount Note will be calculated as follows: $1,000 + [($1,000 × (Reference Asset Return + 5%) × Downside Leverage Factor] You will lose some or all of your investment at maturity if the reference asset return is less than -5%. However, the payment at maturity will not be less than $0.00.
Buffer Percentage:	5%
Downside Leverage Factor	1.0526
Reference Asset Return:	The performance of the reference asset from the basket starting level to the basket ending level, calculated as follows: Basket Ending Level – Basket Starting Level Basket Starting Level
Basket Starting Level:	Set equal to 100 on the pricing date.
Basket Ending Level:	The basket ending level will be calculated as follows: 100 × [1 + (KRW return × 1/3) + (IDR return × 1/3) + (SGD return × 1/3)] The returns set forth in the formula above reflect the performance of the currency exchange rates as described under “Currency Performance” below.
Currency Performance:	The performance of the currency exchange rate from the initial rate to the final rate, calculated as follows: Initial Rate – Final Rate Initial Rate Where, Initial Rate = the initial rate for each basket component is [—] with respect to EUR-KRW, [—] with respect to EUR-IDR, and [—] with respect to EUR-SGD, which, in each case is the currency exchange rate on the pricing date3, determined as described under “Reference Asset.” Final Rate = with respect to each currency exchange rate, the arithmetic average of the currency exchange rate on each of the five averaging dates, determined as described under “Reference Asset.”
Averaging Dates:	May 21, 20121, May 22, 20121, May 23, 20121, May 24, 20121 and May 25, 20121 (the “final averaging date”)
Maturity Date:	May 31, 20121
Calculation Agent:	Barclays Bank PLC
CUSIP/ISIN:	06740LR98 / US06740LR980

¹ Subject to postponement in the event of a market disruption event and as described under “Reference Assets—Currency Exchange Rates—Market Disruption Events Relating to Securities with the Reference Asset Comprised of a Currency Exchange Rate or Currency Exchange Rates” and “Reference Assets—Baskets—Market Disruption Events for Securities with the Reference Asset Comprised of a Basket of Multiple Indices, Equity Securities, Foreign Currencies, Interest Rates, Commodities, Any Other Assets or Any Combination Thereof” in the prospectus supplement.

² Expected. In the event we make any change to the expected pricing date and settlement date, the averaging dates and maturity date will be changed so that the stated term of the Notes remains the same.

³ Because the pricing date is a holiday in Indonesia and Singapore, the initial rate in respect of EUR-IDR and EUR-SGD will be the currency exchange rate on June 1, 2010.

Investing in the Notes involves a number of risks. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page S-5 of the prospectus supplement and “Selected Risk Considerations” beginning on page FWP-7 of this free writing prospectus.

The Notes will not be listed on any U.S. securities exchange or quotation system.

What is the Total Return on the Notes at Maturity Assuming a Range of Performance for the Reference Asset?

The following table illustrates the hypothetical total return at maturity on the Notes. The “total return” as used in this free writing prospectus 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 and examples set forth below assume the initial rates as stated below and a minimum coupon percentage of 24.00%. The hypothetical total returns set forth below are for illustrative purposes only and may not be the actual total returns applicable to a purchaser of the Notes. The numbers appearing in the following table and examples have been rounded for ease of analysis.

Basket Ending Level	Reference Asset Return	Payment at Maturity	Total Return on the Notes
155.00	55.00%	$1,550.00	55.00%
145.00	45.00%	$1,450.00	45.00%
135.00	35.00%	$1,350.00	35.00%
125.00	25.00%	$1,250.00	25.00%

Hypothetical Examples of Amounts Payable at Maturity

The following examples illustrate how the total returns set forth in the table above are calculated.

Example 1: In this case, the South Korean won and the Indonesian rupiah strengthen against the Euro (this occurs when the final rate decreases from the initial rate, reflecting a fewer number of reference currency per Euro), and the Singapore dollar weakens against the Euro (this occurs when the final rate increases from the initial rate, reflecting a greater number of reference currency per Euro).

Step 1: Calculate the Currency Performance for each Basket Component.

Basket Component	Initial Rate	Final Rate	Weight	Currency Performance
EUR-KRW	1516.3938	1364.7544	1/3	10.00	%
EUR-IDR	11787.63	10608.87	1/3	10.00	%
EUR-SGD	1.7832	1.8724	1/3	-5.00	%

The Currency Performance of each basket component is the performance of the currency exchange rate from the initial rate to the final rate, calculated as follows:

Initial Rate – Final Rate

Initial Rate

Step 2: Calculate the Basket Ending Level.

The basket ending level is calculated as follows:

100 × [1+ (10.00% × 1/3) + (10.00% × 1/3) + (-5.00% × 1/3) ]= 105

Step 3: Calculate the Reference Asset Return.

The reference asset return reflects the performance of the basket, calculated as follows:

105-100	= 5.00%
100

Step 4: Calculate the Payment at Maturity.

Because the reference asset return of 5.00% is greater than 0% and the minimum coupon percentage is greater than the reference asset return, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,240.00 per $1,000 principal amount Note, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + [$1,000 × Minimum Coupon Percentage]

$1,000 + [$1,000 × 24.00%] = $1,240.00

Example 2: In this case, the South Korean won strengthens against the Euro (this occurs when the final rate decreases from the initial rate, reflecting a fewer number of reference currency per Euro), and the Indonesian rupiah and the Singapore dollar weaken against the Euro (this occurs when the final rate increases from the initial rate, reflecting a greater number of reference currency per Euro).

FWP–3

Step 1: Calculate the Currency Performance for each Basket Component.

Basket Component	Initial Rate	Final Rate	Weight	Currency Performance
EUR-KRW	1516.3938	1440.5741	1/3	5.00	%
EUR-IDR	11787.63	12966.39	1/3	-10.00	%
EUR-SGD	1.7832	1.9615	1/3	-10.00	%

The Currency Performance of each basket component is the performance of the currency exchange rate from the initial rate to the final rate, calculated as follows:

Initial Rate – Final Rate

Initial Rate

Step 2: Calculate the Basket Ending Level.

The basket ending level is calculated as follows:

100 × [1+ (5.00% × 1/3) + (-10.00% × 1/3) + (-10.00% × 1/3) ] = 95

Step 3: Calculate the Reference Asset Return.

The reference asset return reflects the performance of the basket, calculated as follows:

95-100	= -5.00%
100

Step 4: Calculate the Payment at Maturity.

Because the reference asset return is negative but not less than the buffer percentage of –5%, the investor will receive a payment at maturity of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount Note.

Example 3: In this case, all three reference currencies strengthen against the Euro (this occurs when the final rate decreases from the initial rate, reflecting a fewer number of reference currency per Euro).

Step 1: Calculate the Currency Performance for each Basket Component.

Basket Component	Initial Rate	Final Rate	Weight	Currency Performance
EUR-KRW	1516.3938	985.6560	1/3	35.00	%
EUR-IDR	11787.63	6483.20	1/3	45.00	%
EUR-SGD	1.7832	1.3374	1/3	25.00	%

The Currency Performance of each basket component is the performance of the currency exchange rate from the initial rate to the final rate, calculated as follows:

Initial Rate – Final Rate

Initial Rate

Step 2: Calculate the Basket Ending Level.

The basket ending level is calculated as follows:

100 × [1+ (35.00% × 1/3) + (45.00% × 1/3) + (25.00% × 1/3) ] = 135

Step 3: Calculate the Reference Asset Return.

The reference asset return reflects the performance of the basket, calculated as follows:

135-100	= 35.00%
100

FWP–4

Step 4: Calculate the Payment at Maturity.

Because the reference asset return of 35.00% is greater than 0% and greater than the minimum coupon percentage, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,350.00 per $1,000 principal amount Note, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + [$1,000 × Reference Asset Return]

$1,000 + [$1,000 × 35.00%)] = $1,350.00

Example 4: In this case, all three reference currencies weaken against the Euro (this occurs when the final rate increases from the initial rate, reflecting a greater number of reference currency per Euro).

Step 1: Calculate the Currency Performance for each Basket Component.

Basket Component	Initial Rate	Final Rate	Weight	Currency Performance
EUR-KRW	1516.3938	2122.9513	1/3	-40.00	%
EUR-IDR	11787.63	15323.92	1/3	-30.00	%
EUR-SGD	1.7832	2.1398	1/3	-20.00	%

The Currency Performance of each basket component is the performance of the currency exchange rate from the initial rate to the final rate, calculated as follows:

Initial Rate – Final Rate

Initial Rate

Step 2: Calculate the Basket Ending Level.

The basket ending level is calculated as follows:

100 × [1+ (-40% × 1/3) + (-30% × 1/3) + (-20% × 1/3) ] = 70

Step 3: Calculate the Reference Asset Return.

The reference asset return reflects the performance of the basket, calculated as follows:

70-100	= -30.00%
100

Step 4: Calculate the Payment at Maturity.

Because the reference asset return is less than the buffer percentage of –5%, the investor will receive a payment at maturity of $736.84 per $1,000 principal amount Note calculated as follows:

$1,000 + [$1,000 × (-30% + 5%) × 1.0526] = $736.84

Selected Purchase Considerations

• Appreciation Potential—The Notes provide the opportunity to enhance returns by entitling you to a return equal to the greater of the minimum coupon percentage or the reference asset return if the reference asset return is greater than or equal to 0%, in addition to the principal amount of your Notes. Because the Notes are our senior unsecured obligations, payment of any amount at maturity is subject to our ability to pay our obligations as they become due.

• Limited Protection Against Loss—Payment at maturity of the principal amount of the Notes is protected against a negative reference asset return of up to -5%. If the reference asset return is less than -5%, you will lose an amount equal to 1.0526% of the principal amount of your Notes for every 1% that the reference asset return is less than -5%.

• Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations—Some of the tax consequences of your investment in the Notes are summarized below. The discussion below supplements and modifies the discussion under “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” in the accompanying prospectus supplement. To the extent that the discussion below is inconsistent with the discussion under “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” in the accompanying prospectus supplement, the discussion below supersedes the discussion in the prospectus supplement. As described in the prospectus supplement, this section applies to you only if you are a U.S. holder (as defined in the accompanying prospectus supplement) and you hold your Notes as capital assets for tax purposes and does not apply to you if you are a member of a class of holders subject to special rules or are otherwise excluded from the discussion in the prospectus supplement.

FWP–5

The United States federal income tax consequences of your investment in the Notes are uncertain and the Internal Revenue Service could assert that the Notes should be taxed in a manner that is different than described below. Pursuant to the terms of the Notes, Barclays Bank PLC and you agree, in the absence of a change in law or an administrative or judicial ruling to the contrary, to characterize your Notes as a pre-paid cash-settled executory contract with respect to the Reference Asset. If your Notes are so treated, you should generally recognize gain or loss upon the sale or maturity of your Notes in an amount equal to the difference between the amount you receive at such time and the amount you paid for your Notes. Such gain or loss will generally be exchange gain or loss. Unless you properly make the election described below, exchange gain or loss will generally be treated as U.S.-source ordinary income or loss. If you are a noncorporate holder, you would generally be able to use an ordinary loss to offset your income only in the taxable year in which you recognize the ordinary loss and would generally not be able to carry such ordinary loss forward or back to offset income in other taxable years.

We believe it would be reasonable to take the position that you are permitted to elect to treat the gain or loss that you recognize with respect to your Notes as capital gain or loss, which would be long-term capital gain or loss if you have held your Notes for more than one year. More specifically, a taxpayer may generally elect to treat the gain or loss from a “forward contract” or a “similar financial instrument” with respect to foreign currency as capital gain or loss. We believe that it would be reasonable to take the position that the Notes should be treated as a “forward contract” or a “similar financial instrument” for this purpose and that therefore a holder can make the election with respect to the Notes.

You may make the election described above by clearly identifying your Notes as subject to such election in your books and records on the date you acquire your Notes. You must further verify your election by attaching a statement to your income tax return which must (i) set forth a description and date of the election, (ii) state that the election was entered into before the close of the date that you acquired your Notes, (iii) describe any security for which this election was in effect on the date such security was exercised, sold or exchanged during the taxable year, (iv) state that your Notes were never part of a “straddle” as defined in Section 1092 of the Code and (v) state that all transactions subject to the election are included on the statement. Alternatively, you will be treated as having satisfied the election and verification requirements if you acquire, hold and dispose of your Notes in an account with an unrelated broker or dealer and the following requirements are met: (i) only transactions entered into on or after the date the account was established may be recorded in the account, (ii) transactions involving the Notes are entered into the account on the date the transactions are entered into and (iii) the broker or dealer provides you with a statement detailing the transactions conducted through the account and includes in such statement the following language: “Each transaction identified in this account is subject to the election set forth in section 988(a)(1)(B)”. Your election may not be effective if you do not comply with the election and verification requirements. You should consult your tax advisor about how this election might be made with respect to your Notes.

In the opinion of our special tax counsel, Sullivan & Cromwell LLP, it would be reasonable to treat your Notes in the manner described above. This opinion assumes that the description of the terms of the Notes in this free writing prospectus is materially correct.

Treasury Regulations Requiring Disclosure of Reportable Transactions. Treasury regulations require United States taxpayers to report certain transactions that give rise to a loss in excess of certain thresholds. Under these regulations, a United States holder that recognizes a loss with respect to the Notes that is attributable to changes in the spot exchange rate of a foreign currency will be required to report the loss on Internal Revenue Service Form 8886 if such loss exceeds the thresholds set forth in the regulations. For individuals and trusts, this loss threshold is $50,000 in any single taxable year. For other types of taxpayers and other types of losses, the thresholds are higher. You should consult your tax advisor regarding any tax filing and reporting obligations—including any protective filings—that ought to be made in connection with any loss realized in connection with acquiring, owning and disposing of Notes.

Alternative Treatments. As discussed further in the accompanying prospectus supplement, the Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service are actively considering various alternative treatments that may apply to instruments such as the Notes, possibly with retroactive effect. Other alternative treatments for your Notes may also be possible under current law. For example, it is possible that the Internal Revenue Service could assert that your Notes should be treated as a non-forward executory contract over the Reference Asset. In such case, the Internal Revenue Service could take the position that the election described above, which generally permits a taxpayer to treat the gain or loss from a “forward contract” or a “similar financial instrument” with respect to foreign currency as capital gain or loss, is not available to a holder of a non-forward executory contract. Accordingly, it is possible that any gain or loss you might recognize with respect to the Notes could be U.S.-source ordinary income or loss even if you make the election described above.

FWP–6

In addition, it is possible that the Notes could be treated as a debt instrument denominated in U.S. dollars that is subject to the special tax rules governing contingent payment debt instruments. If your Notes are so treated, you would be required to accrue interest income over the term of your Notes and you would recognize gain or loss upon the sale or maturity of your Notes in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the amount you receive at such time and your adjusted basis in your Notes. Any gain you recognize upon the sale or maturity of your Notes would be ordinary income and any loss recognized by you at such time would generally be ordinary loss to the extent of interest you included in income in the current or previous taxable years with respect to your Notes, and thereafter would be capital loss.

For a further discussion of the tax treatment of your Notes as well as other possible alternative characterizations, please see the discussion under the heading “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations—Certain Notes Treated as Forward Contracts or Executory Contracts” in the accompanying prospectus supplement. You should consult your tax advisor as to the possible alternative treatments in respect of the Notes. For additional, important considerations related to tax risks associated with investing in the Notes, you should also examine the discussion in “Selected Risk Considerations—Taxes”, in this free writing prospectus.

Recently Enacted Legislation. Under recently enacted legislation, individuals that own “specified foreign financial assets” with an aggregate value in excess of $50,000 in taxable years beginning after March 18, 2010 will generally be required to file an information report with respect to such assets with their tax returns. “Specified foreign financial assets” include any financial accounts maintained by foreign financial institutions, as well as any of the following (which may include your Notes), but only if they are not held in accounts maintained by financial institutions: (i) stocks and securities issued by non-U.S. persons, (ii) financial instruments and contracts held for investment that have non-U.S. issuers or counterparties and (iii) interests in foreign entities. Individuals are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the application of this legislation to their ownership of the Notes.

Selected Risk Considerations

An investment in the Notes involves significant risks. Investing in the Notes is not equivalent to investing directly in the basket components. These risks are explained in more detail in the “Risk Factors” sections of the prospectus supplement, including but not limited to the risk factors discussed under the following headings:

• “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to All Securities”;

• “Risk Factors—Additional Risks Relating to Notes Which Pay No Interest”;

• “Risk Factors—Additional Risks Relating to Notes Which Are Not Fully Principal Protected or Are Partially Protected or Contingently Protected”;

• “Risk Factors—Additional Risks Relating to Securities Based on a Basket Comprised of More Than One Reference Asset” and

• “Risk Factors—Additional Risks Relating to Securities with Reference Assets that are Currencies, an Index Containing Currencies, Shares or Other Interests in an Exchange-Traded Fund Invested in Currencies or Based in Part on Currencies”.

In addition to the risks discussed under the headings above, you should consider the following:

• Your Investment in the Notes May Result in a Loss—The Notes do not guarantee any return of principal. The return on the Notes at maturity is linked to the performance of the reference asset and will depend on whether, and the extent to which, the reference asset return is positive or negative. Your investment will be exposed on a leveraged basis to negative reference asset return beyond the 5% buffer percentage.

• Notes Bullish on the South Korean Won, Indonesian Rupiah and the Singapore Dollar and Bearish on the Euro—The reference asset return will only be positive if, on average, the value of South Korean won, Indonesian rupiah and Singapore dollar strengthen relative to the Euro. If, on average, the value of the South Korean won, Indonesian rupiah and Singapore dollar depreciate relative to the Euro over the term of the Notes, the payment at maturity, and therefore the market value of the Notes, will be adversely affected.

• Emerging Markets Risk—The possibility exists of significant changes in rates of exchange between a non-emerging market currency and an emerging market currency or between emerging market currencies and the possibility of the imposition or modification of exchange controls by either the U.S. or a foreign government. Such risks generally depend on economic and political events over which we have no control and such risks may be more pronounced in connection with emerging market currencies. Governments in emerging market countries have imposed from time to time, and may in the future impose, exchange controls which could affect exchange rates as well as the availability of a currency at the time of payment. Fluctuations in spot exchange rates that have occurred in the past, are not necessarily indicative of fluctuations that can occur during the term of this investment. The volatility inherent in emerging market currency transactions could significantly affect the overall return on your investment. Emerging market currencies include the South Korean won, Indonesian rupiah and Singapore dollar.

• No Interest Payments—As a holder of the Notes, you will not receive interest payments.

• Certain Built-In Costs Are Likely to Adversely Affect the Value of the Notes Prior to Maturity—While the payment at maturity described in this free writing prospectus is based on the full principal amount of your Notes, the original issue price of the Notes includes the agent’s commission and the cost of hedging our obligations under the Notes through one or more of our affiliates. As a result, the price, if any, at which Barclays Capital Inc. and other affiliates of Barclays Bank PLC will be willing to purchase Notes from you in secondary market transactions will likely be lower than the original issue price, and any sale prior to the maturity date could result in a substantial loss to you. The Notes are not designed to be short-term trading instruments. Accordingly, you should be able and willing to hold your Notes to maturity.

• Lack of Liquidity—The Notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. Barclays Capital Inc. and other affiliates of Barclays Bank PLC intend to offer to purchase the Notes in the secondary market but are not required to do so. Even if there is a secondary market, it may not provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade or sell the Notes easily. Because other dealers are not likely to make a secondary market for the Notes, the price at which you may be able to trade your Notes is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which Barclays Capital Inc. and other affiliates of Barclays Bank PLC are willing to buy the Notes.

• Credit of Issuer—The Notes are senior unsecured debt obligations of the issuer, Barclays Bank PLC and are not, either directly or indirectly, an obligation of any third party. Any payment to be made on the Notes, including any principal protection provided at maturity, depends on the ability of Barclays Bank PLC to satisfy its obligations as they come due. In the event Barclays Bank PLC were to default on its obligations, you may not receive any amounts owed to you under the terms of the Notes.

• Potential Conflicts—We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance of the Notes, including acting as calculation agent and hedging our obligations under the Notes. In performing these duties, the economic interests of the calculation agent and other affiliates of ours are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the Notes.

• Taxes—The U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Notes is uncertain and the Internal Revenue Service could assert that the Notes should be taxed in a manner that is different than described above. As discussed further in the accompanying prospectus supplement, on December 7, 2007, the Internal Revenue Service issued a notice indicating that it and the Treasury Department are actively considering whether, among other issues, you should be required to accrue interest over the term of an instrument such as the Notes even though you will not receive any payments with respect to the Notes until maturity and whether all or part of the gain you may recognize upon the sale or maturity of an instrument such as the Notes could be treated as ordinary income. The outcome of this process is uncertain and could apply on a retroactive basis. Additionally, the discussion of federal income taxes in this free writing prospectus provides that it would be reasonable to take the position that gain from the sale or maturity of the Notes will be long-term capital gain if the Notes are held for more than one year and you properly make the election described above. However, there is a risk that the Internal Revenue Service might assert that (i) your Notes should be treated as a non-forward executory contract over the Reference Asset and that (ii) the election described above is unavailable for such contracts, in which case the Internal Revenue Service may therefore treat such gain as ordinary income. You should carefully review the tax section in this free writing prospectus and consult your tax advisor with any questions.

• Many Economic and Market Factors Will Impact the Value of the Notes—In addition to the level of the reference asset on any day, the value of the Notes will be affected by a number of economic and market factors that may either offset or magnify each other, including:

• the expected volatility of the currency exchange rates comprising the reference asset;

• the time to maturity of the Notes;

• interest and yield rates in the market generally;

• a variety of economic, financial, political, regulatory or judicial events including those affecting the Eurozone economy, in general, and the fluctuations of Euro, in particular; and

• our creditworthiness, including actual or anticipated downgrades in our credit ratings.

Certain Employee Retirement Income Security Act Considerations

Your purchase of a Note in an Individual Retirement Account (an “IRA”), will be deemed to be a representation and warranty by you, as a fiduciary of the IRA and also on behalf of the IRA, that (i) neither the issuer, the placement agent nor any of their respective affiliates has or exercises any discretionary authority or control or acts in a fiduciary capacity with respect to the IRA assets used to purchase the Note or renders investment advice (within the meaning of Section 3(21)(A)(ii) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”)) with respect to any such IRA assets and (ii) in connection with the purchase of the Note, the IRA will pay no more than “adequate consideration” (within the meaning of Section 408(b)(17) of ERISA) and in connection with any redemption of the Note pursuant to its terms will receive at least adequate consideration, and, in making the foregoing representations and warranties, you have (x) applied sound business principles in determining whether fair market value will be paid, and (y) made such determination acting in good faith.

Supplemental Plan of Distribution

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and JPMorgan Securities Inc. will act as placement agents for the Notes and will receive a fee from the Company that would not exceed $15.00 per $1,000 principal amount Note.
