SandP 500 Dividend Aristocrats Risk Control Indices

OVERVIEW

The SandP 500 Dividend Aristocrats Risk Control Excess Return Indices (the
"Aristocrats Risk Control Indices") provide exposure to the U.S. equity market
via the "blue chip" names in the SandP 500 Dividend Aristocrats Total Return
Index (the "Aristocrats Index") with a volatility control mechanism which
targets a specific volatility for each Aristocrats Risk Control Index by varying
the exposure of the Aristocrats Risk Control Index to the Aristocrats Index. The
exposure is adjusted on a daily basis and ranges from 0% to 150%. The volatility
control mechanism seeks to create a more stable level of volatility for the
Aristocrats Risk Control Indices. The Aristocrats Risk Control Indices are
excess return indices(1). The 8% and 10% target volatility versions are
published to Bloomberg under the tickers, SPXD8UE and SPXD10UE, respectively.

What is the SandP 500 Dividend Aristocrats Index?

[]   The Aristocrats Index, sponsored by Standard and Poor's ("SandP"), aims to
     measure the performance of companies within the SandP 500 Index that have
     followed a policy of increasing dividends every year for at least 25
     consecutive years(2).

[]   The index constituents are selected annually with a minimum of 40 stocks.
     The index constituents are rebalanced to equal weights on a quarterly
     basis.

[]   The Index is often viewed as a measure of the performance of "blue chip"
     companies because the dividend payment track record required as an index
     criteria can be viewed as an indication of corporate maturity and strength.

[]   Because the index criteria are based on a track record of increasing
     dividends(2) rather than on high dividend yields, the index is not expected
     to have a high concentration in typical high dividend yield sectors such as
     financials and utilities.

[]   Since December 1998, the hypothetical historical performance of the
     Aristocrats Index shows a total return of 5.25% p.a. versus 0.41% p.a. for
     the SandP 500 Index, with less volatility. Past hypothetical or historical
     performance is not indicative of future results.

Why are dividends important?

[]   Since 1980, the percentage of personal income represented by dividends has
     been gradually increasing(3). In our view, as the number of income-seeking
     retirees continues to increase, the demand for dividend-paying stocks could
     increase as well.

[]   Stable and increasing dividends are sometimes used by a company's
     management as a signal of confidence in a firm's prospects.

based on a rolling 3-Month Libor synthetic bond which is valued using 2-Month
and 3-Month USD Libor rates. For further details please review the applicable
product supplement and term sheet or pricing supplement.

2. The Aristocrats Index is constructed to have at least 40 names. If there are
less than 40 names in the SandP 500 index that have followed a policy of
increasing dividends every year for at least 25 years, SandP relaxes this
criterion in order to reach 40 names. As of August 31, 2010, there were 42 names
in the Index. For further details on the construction of Aristocrats Index
please review the applicable product supplement and term sheet or pricing
supplement.

150%. Volatility is based on historical daily returns and is calculated in a
manner consistent with SandP's Risk Control methodology. The back-tested,
hypothetical, historical results for volatility and exposure shown above have
inherent limitations. These results were achieved by means of a retroactive
application of a back-tested model designed with the benefit of hindsight.

The Aristocrats Risk Control Indices are excess return indices, and are subject
to 3-Month USD Libor rolling borrowing costs, calculated by reference to 3-Month
and 2-Month USD Libor rates.

The volatility control mechanism can result in under exposure to the Aristocrats
Index.
