If the final underlier level declines by up to 15.00% from the initialunderlier level, you will receive the face amount of your notes.If the final underlier level declines by more than 15.00%from the initial underlier level, you will be exposed on a leveraged basis to any decrease in the final underlier levelbeyond 15.00%. In this case, the return on your notes will be negative. You may lose some or all of your investment inthe notes.To determine your payment at maturity, we will calculate the underlier return, which is the percentage increase or decrease in the final underlier level from the initial underlier level.
