2 Secondary Market: The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. Although not obligated to do so, BMO Capital Markets Corp. (or one of its affiliates), plans to maintain a secondary market in the notes after the Settlement Date. Proceeds from a sale of notes prior to maturity may be less than the principal amount initially invested. Selected Risk Considerations: The risks summarized below are some of the most important factors to be considered prior to any purchase of the notes. Investors are urged to read all the risk factors related to the notes in the pricing supplement and the product supplement to which this term sheet relates. • Your return on the notes is limited to the Maximum Redemption Amount, regardless of any appreciation in the levels of the Basket Components. • Changes in the level of one or more Basket Components may be offset by changes in the level of one or more other Basket Components. • Your return on the notes may be lower than the return on a conventional debt security of comparable maturity. • The notes are unsecured debt obligations of the Issuer and your investment is subject to the credit risk of the Issuer. • Our and our affiliates’ activities may conflict with your interests and may also adversely affect the value of the notes. • Our initial estimated value of the notes will be lower than the price to public, does not represent any future value of the notes, and may also differ from the estimated value of any other party. • The terms of the notes are not determined by reference to the credit spreads for our conventional fixed - rate debt. • The inclusion of the hedging profits, if any, in the initial price to public of the notes, as well as our hedging costs, is likely to adversely affect the price at which you can sell your notes. • The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. BMOCM may offer to purchase the notes in the secondary market, but is 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. • You will not have any shareholder rights and will have no right to receive any shares of the stocks included in the Basket Components at maturity. • We have no affiliation with the sponsor of any Basket Component and will not be responsible for their actions. • Changes that affect each Basket Component will affect the market value of the notes and the amount you will receive at maturity. Adjustments to a Basket Component could adversely affect the notes. The sponsor of a Basket Component may make adjustments, discontinue or suspend calculations or publication of that Basket Component, or discontinue of suspend maintenance of that Basket Component at any time. • An investment in the notes is subject to risks associated with foreign securities markets and foreign currency exchange rate risk. • An investment in the notes is subject to risks associated in investing in stocks with a small market capitalization.

3 Hypothetical Calculations for the Payment at Maturity: Examples of the Hypothetical Payment at Maturity for a $1,000 Investment in the notes The following table illustrates the hypothetical payments on a note at maturity. The hypothetical payments are based on a $1,000 investment in the note, a hypothetical Initial Level of 100.00, a hypothetical Upside Leverage Factor of 115.00%, the Maximum Return of 70.00%, the Maximum Redemption Amount of $1,700.00, a range of hypothetical Final Levels and the effect on the payment at maturity. The hypothetical examples shown below are intended to help you understand the terms of the notes. The actual cash amount that you will receive at maturity will depend upon the Final Level of the Basket. These examples do not give effect to any U.S. federal tax payments or brokerage commissions that you may be required to pay in connection with your purchase of the notes.
