  $1,000 + ($1,000 × basket return), subject to the minimum payment amount
  If the basket depreciates, the basket return will be negative and the payment at maturity will be less than the stated principal amount of $1,000 per security by an amount that is proportionate to the decline in the basket return below 0%. However, under no circumstances will the payment due at maturity be less than the minimum payment amount of $900 per security.

Basket return: (ending basket level – starting basket level) / starting basket level
Starting basket level: Set equal to 100 on the pricing date

Basket closing level:

The basket closing level on the valuation date will be calculated as follows:

100 × [1 + sum of (reference currency return of each reference currency × reference currency weight of each such reference currency)]

Reference currency return:

With respect to each reference currency: (starting spot rate – ending spot rate) / starting spot rate

This formula effectively limits the contribution of each reference currency to a 100% return but does not limit the downside. See “How Do Currency Exchange Rates Work,” “Hypothetical Payouts on the Securities at Maturity –– Example 3" and "Fact Sheet" in this document for more information.
