Historical Levels of the 30yr CMS Rate, 10yr CMS Rate and 2yr CMS Rate

The following shows for illustrative purposes (a) the 30yr CMS Rate, 10yr CMS Rate and 2yr CMS Rate, and (b) SPREAD REF1 (equal to the 30yr CMS Rate minus the 2yr CMS Rate), SPREAD REF2 (equal to the 30yr CMS Rate minus the 10yr CMS Rate) and SPREAD REF3 (equal to the 10yr CMS Rate minus the 2yr CMS Rate), in each case in effect on the Business Day preceding the Trade Date and on the hypothetical historical Interest Payment Dates listed below; the Coupon payable on any Interest Payment Date for the Notes, however, will be determined based on SPREAD REF1, SPREAD REF2 and SPREAD REF3 in effect on each day during the related Interest Period.  The historical experience of the 30yr CMS Rate, 10yr CMS Rate and 2yr CMS Rate, and their relative relationship, should not be taken as an indication of the future performance of the 30yr CMS Rate, 10yr CMS Rate and 2yr CMS Rate, or their relative relationship, during the term of the Notes.  Fluctuations in the level of the 30yr CMS Rate, 10yr CMS Rate and 2yr CMS Rate, as well as fluctuations in their relative relationship, make the Notes’ effective interest rate difficult to predict and can result in effective interest rates to investors that are lower than anticipated. In addition, historical interest rates are not necessarily indicative of future interest rates. Fluctuations in interest rates and interest rate trends that have occurred in the past are not necessarily indicative of fluctuations that may occur in the future, which may be wider or narrower than those that have occurred historically.
