What is the Total Return on the Notes at Maturity Assuming a Range of Index Return?

The following table illustrates the hypothetical total return at maturity on the Notes. The “total return” as used in this pricing supplement is the number, expressed as a percentage, which results from comparing the payment at maturity per $1,000 principal amount Note to $1,000. The hypothetical total returns set forth below are for illustrative purposes only and may not be the actual total returns applicable to a purchaser of the Notes. The numbers appearing in the following table and examples have been rounded for ease of analysis. Note that, the hypothetical returns set forth below are based on the initial level of 163,015.64 and the participation rate of 100%.

Hypothetical Examples of Amounts Payable at Maturity

The following examples illustrate how the total returns set forth in the table above are calculated.

Example 1: The level of the index increases from an initial level of 163,015.64 to a final level of 195,618.77.

Because the final level of 195,618.77 is greater than the initial level of 163,015.64 and the index return is 20.00%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,200.00 per $1,000 principal amount Note calculated as follows:

$1,000 + ($1,000 × 20.00% × 100%) = $1,200.00

Example 2: The level of the index decreases from an initial level of 163,015.64 to a final level of 154,864.86.

Because the final level of 154,864.86 is less than the initial level of 163,015.64, the investor will receive a payment at maturity of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount Note.

Selected Purchase Considerations

• Market Disruption Events and Adjustments—The final valuation date, the maturity date and the payment at maturity are subject to adjustment as described in the following sections of the prospectus supplement:

• For a description of what constitutes a market disruption event as well as the consequences of that market disruption event, see “Reference Assets—Indices—Market Disruption Events for Securities with the Reference Asset Comprised of an Index or Indices of Equity Securities, Interest Rates, Currency Exchange Rates, Currencies, or Other Assets or Variables (Other than Commodities)” with respect to the reference asset; and

• For a description of further adjustments that may affect the reference asset, see “Reference Assets—Indices—Adjustments Relating to Securities with the Reference Asset Comprised of an Index”.

• Appreciation Potential—The Notes provide the opportunity to access the index return if the index return is positive. Because the Notes are our senior unsecured obligations, payment of any amount at maturity is subject to our ability to pay our obligations as they become due and is not guaranteed by any third party. For a description of risks with respect to the ability of Barclays Bank PLC to satisfy its obligations as they come due, see “Credit of Issuer” in this pricing supplement.

• Preservation of Capital at Maturity—You will receive at least 100% of the principal amount of your Notes if you hold your Notes to maturity, regardless of the performance of the Index. Because the Notes are our senior unsecured obligations, payment of any amount at maturity is subject to our ability to pay our obligations as they become due and is not guaranteed by any third party. For a description of risks with respect to the ability of Barclays Bank PLC to satisfy its obligations as they come due, see “Credit of Issuer” in this pricing supplement.

• Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations—Some of the tax consequences of your investment in the Notes are summarized below. The discussion below supplements the discussion under “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” in the accompanying prospectus supplement. As described in the prospectus supplement, this section applies to you only if you are a U.S. holder (as defined in the accompanying prospectus supplement) and you hold your Notes as capital assets for tax purposes and does not apply to you if you are a member of a class of holders subject to special rules or are otherwise excluded from the discussion in the prospectus supplement. In addition, this discussion applies to you only if you are an initial purchaser of the Notes; if you are a secondary purchaser of the Notes, the tax consequences to you may be different.

The following section is the opinion of our special tax counsel, Sullivan & Cromwell LLP, and it assumes that the description of the terms of the Notes in this pricing supplement is materially correct. The Notes will be treated as debt instruments subject to special rules governing contingent payment debt obligations for United States federal income tax purposes. Under these rules, if you are a U.S. individual or taxable entity, you generally will be required to accrue interest on a current basis in respect of the Notes over their term based on the comparable yield for the Notes and pay tax accordingly, even though you will not receive any payments from us until maturity. This comparable yield is determined solely to calculate the amount on which you will be taxed prior to maturity and is neither a prediction nor a guarantee of what the actual yield will be. In addition, any gain you may recognize on the sale or maturity of the Notes would be taxed as ordinary interest income and any loss you may realize on the sale or maturity of the Notes would generally be ordinary loss to the extent of the interest you previously included as income in respect of the Notes and thereafter would be capital loss. If you are a noncorporate holder, you would generally be able to use such ordinary loss to offset your income only in the taxable year in which you recognize the ordinary loss and would generally not be able to carry such ordinary loss forward or back to offset income in other taxable years.

For a further discussion of the tax treatment of your Notes, including information regarding obtaining the comparable yield for your Notes and the tax consequences to secondary purchasers of the Notes, please see the discussion under the heading “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations—U.S. Federal Income Tax Treatment of the Notes as Indebtedness for U.S. Federal Income Tax Purposes—Contingent Payment Debt Instruments” in the accompanying prospectus supplement.

PS–3

Recently Enacted Legislation. Under recently enacted legislation, individuals that own “specified foreign financial assets” with an aggregate value in excess of $50,000 in taxable years beginning after March 18, 2010 will generally be required to file an information report with respect to such assets with their tax returns. “Specified foreign financial assets” include any financial accounts maintained by foreign financial institutions (such as your Notes), as well as any of the following, but only if they are not held in accounts maintained by financial institutions: (i) stocks and securities issued by non-U.S. persons, (ii) financial instruments and contracts held for investment that have non-U.S. issuers or counterparties and (iii) interests in foreign entities. Individuals are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the application of this legislation to their ownership of the Notes.

For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2012, a U.S. person that is an individual, estate, or a trust that does not fall into a special class of trusts that is exempt from such tax, will be subject to a 3.8% tax (the “Medicare tax”) on the lesser of (1) the U.S. person’s “net investment income” for the relevant taxable year and (2) the excess of the U.S. person’s modified adjusted gross income for the taxable year over a certain threshold (which in the case of individuals will be between $125,000 and $250,000, depending on the individual’s circumstances). Your net investment income will generally include any interest that you include in income from the Notes in respect of either (i) current accruals based on the comparable yield or (ii) gain recognized upon the sale or maturity of your Notes, unless such interest is derived in the ordinary course of the conduct of a trade or business (other than a trade or business that consists of certain passive or trading activities). If you are a U.S. person that is an individual, estate or trust, you are urged to consult your tax advisors regarding the applicability of the Medicare tax to your income and gains in respect of your investment in the Notes.

Selected Risk Considerations

An investment in the Notes involves significant risks. Investing in the Notes is not equivalent to investing directly in the index. These risks are explained in more detail in the “Risk Factors” section of the prospectus supplement, including the risk factors discussed under the following headings:

• “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to All Securities”;

• “Risk Factors—Additional Risks Relating to Notes Which Pay No Interest”; and

• “Risk Factors—Additional Risks Relating to Securities with Reference Assets That Are Equity Securities or Shares or Other Interests in Exchange-Traded Funds, That Contain Equity Securities or Shares or Other Interests in Exchange-Traded Funds or That Are Based in Part on Equity Securities or Shares or Other Interests in Exchange-Traded Funds.”

In addition to the risks described above, you should consider the following:

• The Notes Might Not Pay More Than the Principal Amount—If the index return is not positive, you will not receive a payment at maturity of more than the principal amount of your Notes. Because the Notes are our senior unsecured obligations, payment of any amount at maturity is subject to our ability to pay our obligations as they become due and is not guaranteed by any third party.

• Credit of Issuer—The Notes are senior unsecured debt obligations of the issuer, Barclays Bank PLC and are not, either directly or indirectly, an obligation of any third party. Any payment to be made on the Notes, including any principal protection provided at maturity, depends on the ability of Barclays Bank PLC to satisfy its obligations as they come due and is not guaranteed by any third party. In the event Barclays Bank PLC were to default on its obligations, you may not receive any amounts owed to you under the terms of the Notes.

• The Value of the Index Will Depend Upon the Success of the Index in Dynamically Allocating Between the Equity and Volatility Components—The Index seeks to provide investors with broad equity market exposure with an implied volatility hedge by dynamically allocating its notional investments among three components: equity, volatility and cash. The so-called “volatility hedge” component of the Index is premised on the observation that historically (1) volatility in the equity markets tends to correlate negatively to the performance of U.S. equity markets (i.e., volatility increases in periods of negative equity market returns, and vice versa) and (2) rapid declines in the performance of the U.S. equity markets generally tend to be associated with particularly high volatility in such markets. The Index, therefore, seeks to reflect such historically-observed trends by allocating a greater proportion of its notional value to investments in the U.S. equity markets during periods of low market volatility with the ability to allocate a greater proportion of its notional value to investments in a reference asset that tracks implied volatility during periods of high market volatility (but in no case will the weighting of the volatility component exceed a 40% allocation of the Index).

Despite these historically-observed trends, there can be no assurance that such trends will occur over the term of your Notes. In particular, it is possible that periods of higher volatility may occur during periods when the U.S. equity markets are generally increasing in value. In this scenario, under the rules of the Index, the higher volatility trends would likely result in a reduced exposure to the equity component of the Index, S&P 500^® Excess Return Index™ (the “S&P 500 ER”), when, in fact, an investor would generally benefit from more, not less, exposure to S&P 500 ER. Conversely, it is possible that periods of lower volatility may occur during periods when the U.S. equity markets are

PS–4

generally decreasing in value. In this scenario, under the rules of the Index, the lower volatility trends would likely result in an increased exposure to the S&P 500 ER when, in fact, an investor would generally benefit from less, not more, exposure to S&P 500 ER. Therefore, if the correlations between the U.S. equity markets and market volatility do not behave over the term of the Notes as they have historically tended to behave, the Index may not be successful in allocating optimally between the equity and volatility components, and, in certain circumstances, it is possible that the dynamic allocation between the equity and volatility components could produce a lower investment return than a simple investment in the equity component alone. Accordingly, there is no assurance that the Index will outperform any alternative strategy that might be employed in respect of the equity and volatility components.

• The Value of the Index Will Depend Upon the Performance of the S&P 500 ER—While the Index is designed to provide a “volatility hedge” (as described above) during periods of high volatility and rapid decline of the U.S. equity markets, the value of the Index will continue to depend, in large part, on the performance of the S&P 500 ER over the term of your Notes. Even if the Index is successful in dynamically allocating between the equity and volatility components, the value of the Index may fall as a result of a decline in the level of the S&P 500 ER, in particular during periods when the decline in the level of the S&P 500 ER occurs during a period of low market volatility. This is because, under the rules of the Index, the lower volatility trends would likely result in an increased exposure to the S&P 500 ER. Moreover, the volatility hedge component of the Index is limited to a maximum allocation of 40% of the Index, which means that at least 60% of the Index will be exposed to the S&P 500 ER throughout the term of your Notes (subject to the occurrence of a stop loss event as described in more detail herein). Therefore, while the volatility hedge component of the Index may act to mitigate a portion of the decline of the S&P 500 ER in certain market environments, the effect of such hedge has limitations, and the value of your Notes can decline, even significantly, if the level of the S&P 500 ER declines over the term of your Notes.

• The Allocation of the Index to the Equity and Volatility Components is Based on Realized Volatility and Implied Volatility Measurements That May Not Effectively Predict Trends in Future Volatility—The Index allocates its weightings to the S&P 500 ER and the S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures™ Index ER (the “Short-Term VIX ER”) based on predetermined rules. The Index rules use a combination of historical volatility and market estimates of future volatility to predict future trends in volatility by taking into account both (1) the one-month realized volatility of the S&P 500 and (2) the implied volatility trend by reference to the CBOE Volatility Index^® (the “VIX Index”). For more information on realized volatility and implied volatility, see “The Index—Volatility” in this pricing supplement. On the basis of this prediction of likely future volatility, the Index then allocates its relative exposure to the S&P 500 ER and the Short-Term VIX ER in accordance with the pre-defined weightings specified in “The Index—Calculation of the Index—Step 3: Determine the Target Weightings of the Equity Component and Volatility Component”.

There can be no assurance that the rules used by the Index will accurately predict market volatility over time. One-month realized volatility measures volatility over a historical period, and historical volatility may not be an accurate indicator of future market volatility. In addition, the implied volatility trend under the Index rules require the daily implied trend indicators (as defined herein) to remain constant for at least ten consecutive index business days. Therefore, even if the daily implied volatility trend indicators show an increase or a decrease in volatility for nine out of ten consecutive index business days, the resulting implied volatility trend will show that there is “no trend”, and the target allocations may not appropriately reflect future market volatility.

Moreover, although realized volatility and implied volatility have tended historically to exhibit positive correlation, there may be periods during which the Index’s realized volatility and implied volatility measures are negatively correlated. In particular, it is possible that the Index’s realized volatility measure shows an increase in historical volatility while the Index’s implied volatility measure estimates a decrease in future volatility, or vice versa. If the correlations between the Index’s realized volatility and implied volatility measures do not behave over the term of the Notes as they have historically tended to behave, the Index may not be successful in allocating optimally between the equity and volatility components.

Accordingly, there is no assurance that the Index’s method of assessing market volatility is the most effective way to predict patterns of volatility. As a result, if the Index fails to predict trends of volatility accurately, then the Index may not be successful in allocating optimally between the S&P 500 ER and the Short-Term VIX ER, which may adversely impact the market value of your Notes and the amount you receive at maturity.

• The Index Allocates to the Equity and Volatility Components in Accordance with Pre-Defined Weightings That May Not Be Optimal—Subject to the occurrence of a stop loss event, the equity and volatility components comprise 100% of the Index. Their respective weightings are established by reference to the Index’s calculation of realized volatility and implied volatility trends (as discussed above) in accordance with the pre-defined weightings specified in “The Index—Calculation of the Index—Step 3: Determine the Target Weightings of the Equity Component and Volatility Component”. For example, when realized volatility is low and implied volatility is exhibiting a downtrend, more weight is allocated to the equity component in accordance with pre-defined rules. Conversely, when realized volatility is high and implied volatility exhibiting an uptrend, more weight is allocated to the volatility component. However, even if the Index is accurate in predicting volatility trends, the pre-defined weightings between the equity and volatility components as specified herein may not be the most optimal allocations at any given moment over the term of your Notes. Therefore, there is no assurance that the weightings determined by the Index will outperform any alternative strategy that might reflect different weighting of the equity and volatility components.

PS–5

• The Stop Loss Feature of the Index Does Not Ensure That Losses Are Limited to 2%—Although the stop loss feature of the Index is designed to mitigate against losses in the Index by moving the Index into a 100% cash position if the Index has lost 2% or more of its value over any five consecutive index business day period, it does not ensure that any losses resulting from a decrease in the value of the Index will be limited to 2%. For example, suppose that on “day t-7” the value of the Index is 150,000, on “day t-6” the value of the Index is 142,970, on “day t-2” the value of the Index is 145,500 and on “day t-1” the value of the Index is 144,400. On “day t-1”, a stop loss event would be deemed to have occurred because the value of the Index would have fallen by 3% (i.e., 145,500/150,000 – 1) over the immediately preceding five consecutive index business day period. On “day t”, that stop loss event would be deemed to have ended because the value of the Index would have increased by approximately 1% (i.e., 144,400/142,970 – 1) over the immediately preceding five consecutive index business day period. Nonetheless, the overall value of the Index will have fallen by approximately 3.75% (i.e., 144,400/150,000 – 1) over the period beginning on “day t-7” and ending on “day t-1”. Therefore, the stop loss feature does not ensure that losses under the Index are limited to 2%.

• Your Notes are Linked to an Excess Return Index and Not a Total Return Index—The Notes are linked to an excess return index and not a total return index. The Index is calculated on an excess return basis because the cash component of the Index in the event of a stop-loss event is not interest bearing and because its Constituent Indices, the S&P 500 ER and the Short-Term VIX ER, are excess return indices. The S&P 500 ER is designed to track an unfunded investment in the S&P 500. By contrast, the total return version of the S&P 500, the S&P 500 TR, is designed to track a funded investment in the S&P 500; therefore, the return of the S&P 500 TR will be equal to that of the S&P 500 ER plus overnight LIBOR. Please see the section entitled “The Index—The Constituent Indices—The S&P 500^® Index, the S&P 500^® Total Return Index™ and the S&P 500^® Excess Return Index™—S&P 500^® Excess Return Index™” below for a description of the calculation of the S&P 500 ER. Furthermore, the Short-Term VIX ER is intended to reflect the returns that are potentially available through an unleveraged investment in certain futures contracts on the VIX Index. The total return version of the Short-Term VIX ER (i.e., the S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures™ Index TR) is intended to reflect the returns that are potentially available through such an unleveraged investment plus the specified Treasury Bill rate that could be earned on the notional value of that index, which would then be reinvested at that rate.

Investing in the Notes may, therefore, not generate the same return as one would obtain from investing directly in a total return index that allocates dynamically between the S&P 500 TR and the S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures™ Index TR.

• The Policies of the Index Sponsor and the CBOE and Changes That Affect the Composition and Valuation of the Index, the S&P 500 ER, the Short-Term VIX ER or the VIX Index Could Affect the Amount Payable on Your Notes and Their Market Value— The policies of the index sponsor concerning the calculation of the value of the Index, the S&P 500 ER and the Short-Term VIX ER and the policies of the CBOE concerning the calculation of the value of the VIX Index, and any additions, deletions or substitutions of equity securities or options contracts and the manner in which changes affecting the equity securities, options contracts or futures contracts are reflected in the Index, the S&P 500 ER, the Short-Term VIX ER or the VIX Index, respectively, could affect the value of the Index, a Constituent Index or other index used to calculate the Index and, therefore, the amount payable on your Notes at maturity and the market value of your Notes prior to maturity.

The index sponsor can add, delete or substitute the equity securities underlying the S&P 500 ER or make other methodological changes that could change the value of the S&P 500 ER. The index sponsor can also add, delete or substitute the futures contracts underlying the Short-Term VIX ER or make other methodological changes that could change the value of the Short-Term VIX ER and the Index. The changing of equity securities included in the S&P 500 ER may affect the S&P 500 ER, as a newly added equity security may perform significantly better or worse than the equity security or securities it replaces. Such a change may also affect the value of the put and call options used to calculate the value of the VIX Index. The changing of the futures contracts underlying the Short-Term VIX ER may affect the performance of the Short-Term VIX ER in similar ways. Any such changes may consequently affect the performance of the Index. Additionally, the index sponsor may alter, discontinue or suspend calculation or dissemination of the Index, the S&P 500 ER or the Short-Term VIX ER. Any of these actions could adversely affect the value of your Notes. The index sponsor has no obligation to consider your interests in calculating or revising the Index, the S&P 500 ER or the Short-Term VIX ER.

The CBOE can make methodological changes to the calculation of the VIX Index that could affect the value of futures contracts on the VIX Index and, consequently, the value of your Notes. There can be no assurance that the CBOE will not change the VIX Index calculation methodology in a way which may affect the value of your Notes. Additionally, the CBOE may alter, discontinue or suspend calculation or dissemination of the VIX Index and/or the exercise settlement value. Any of these actions could adversely affect the value of your Notes. The CBOE has no obligation to consider your interests in calculating or revising the VIX Index or in calculating the exercise settlement value.

If events such as these occur, or if the value of the Index is not available or cannot be calculated because of a market disruption event or for any other reason, the calculation agent may be required to make a good faith estimate in its sole discretion of the value of the Index. The circumstances in which the calculation agent will be required to make such a determination are described more fully under “Reference Assets—Indices—Adjustments Relating to Securities with the Reference Asset Comprised of an Index or Indices” in the accompanying prospectus supplement.

• The Index and the Short-Term VIX ER Have Limited Historical Information, and It Will be Difficult to Compare the Performance of the Index to the S&P 500 ER Over the Term of the Notes— The Index was launched on November 18, 2009. All data relating to the period prior to the launch date of the Index, including the table and graphs set forth in “The Index—Historical Closing Values of the Index” and “The Index—Hypothetical and Illustrative Performance of the Index”, is an historical estimate by the index sponsor using available data as to how the Index may have performed in the pre-launch date period. In addition, the Short-Term VIX ER was created in December 2008, and the index sponsor has published limited information about how the Short-Term VIX ER would have performed had it been calculated prior to that time. In addition, futures on the VIX Index have only traded freely since March 26, 2004, and not all futures of all relevant maturities have traded at all times since that date.

Because the Index, Short-Term VIX ER and the VIX Index futures that underlie the Short-Term VIX ER are of recent origin and limited or no historical performance data exists with respect to them, your investment in the Notes may involve a greater risk than investing in alternate securities linked to one or more indices with an established record of performance. A longer history of actual performance may have been helpful in providing more reliable information on which to assess the validity of the proprietary methodology that each index makes use of as the basis for an investment decision.

In addition, the index sponsor does not currently publish the performance of the S&P 500 ER. As a result, it will be difficult to compare the performance of the Index to the performance of the S&P 500 ER over the term of your Notes.

• Barclays Bank PLC and Its Affiliates Have No Affiliation with the Index Sponsor and Are Not Responsible for Its Public Disclosure of Information, Which May Change Over Time—We and our affiliates are not affiliated with the index sponsor in any way and have no ability to control or predict its actions, including any errors in, or discontinuation of disclosure regarding the index sponsor’s methods or policies relating to the calculation of the Index (or any Constituent Index or other index used to calculate the Index) in its capacity as the sponsor of the Index (or any Constituent Index or other index used to calculate the Index). The index sponsor is not under any obligation to continue to calculate the Index (or any Constituent Index or other index used to calculate the Index) or required to calculate any successor index. If the index sponsor discontinues or suspends the calculation of the Index (or any Constituent Index or other index used to calculate the Index), it may become difficult to determine the value of the Notes or the amount payable at maturity. The calculation agent may designate a successor index selected in its sole discretion. If the calculation agent determines in its sole discretion that no successor index comparable to the Index (or any Constituent Index or other index used to calculate the Index) exists, the amount you receive at maturity will be determined by the calculation agent in its sole discretion. See “Reference Assets—Indices—Adjustments Relating to Securities with the Reference Asset Comprised of an Index or Indices” in the accompanying prospectus supplement. All disclosure in this pricing supplement regarding the Index, each Constituent Index and any other index used to calculate the Index, including its make-up, method of calculation and changes in its components, is derived from publicly available information. We have not independently verified this information. You, as an investor in the Notes, should make your own investigation into the Index and the index sponsor. The index sponsor has no obligation to consider your interests as a holder of the Notes.

• Historical Values of the Index Should Not Be Taken as an Indication of the Future Performance of the Index During the Term of the Notes—It is impossible to predict whether the Index will rise or fall. The actual performance of the Index over the term of the Notes, as well as the amount payable at maturity, may bear little relation to the historical value of the Index.

• Changing Prices of the Futures Contracts Included in the Short-Term VIX ER May Result in a Reduced Amount Payable at Maturity—The Short-Term VIX ER is composed of futures contracts on the VIX Index. Unlike equities, which typically entitle the holder to a continuing stake in a corporation, futures contracts normally specify a certain date for delivery of the underlying asset or for settlement in cash based on the level of the underlying asset. As the futures contracts that comprise the Short-Term VIX ER approach expiration, they are replaced by similar contracts that have a later expiration. Thus, for example, a futures contract purchased and held in August may specify an October expiration. As time passes, the contract expiring in October may be replaced by a contract for delivery in November. This process is referred to as “rolling”. If the market for these contracts is (putting aside other considerations) in “backwardation”, which means that the prices are lower in the distant delivery months than in the nearer delivery months, the sale of the October contract would take place at a price that is higher than the price of the November contract, thereby creating a “roll yield”. The actual realization of a potential roll yield will be dependent upon the level of the Short-Term VIX ER relative to the unwind price of the relevant Short-Term VIX ER futures contract at the time of hypothetical sale of the contract. The contracts included in the Short-Term VIX ER have not historically exhibited consistent periods of backwardation, and backwardation will most likely not exist at many, if not most times. Moreover, many of the

PS–7

contracts included in the Short-Term VIX ER have historically traded in “contango” markets. Contango markets are those in which the prices of contracts are higher in the distant delivery months than in the nearer delivery months. The VIX Index futures have frequently exhibited very high contango in the past, resulting in a significant cost to “roll” the futures. The existence of contango in the futures markets could result in negative “roll yields”, which could adversely affect the value of the Short-Term VIX ER and thus the Index underlying your Notes, and, accordingly, decrease the payment you receive at maturity.

• The Short-Term VIX ER May in the Future Include Contracts That Are Not Traded on Regulated Futures Exchanges—The Short-Term VIX ER is currently based solely on futures contracts traded on regulated futures exchanges (referred to in the United States as “designated contract markets”). If these exchange-traded futures cease to exist, the Short-Term VIX ER may also cease to exist or may in the future include over-the-counter contracts (such as swaps and forward contracts) traded on trading facilities that are subject to lesser degrees of regulation or, in some cases, no substantive regulation. As a result, trading in such contracts, and the manner in which prices and volumes are reported by the relevant trading facilities, may not be subject to the provisions of, and the protections afforded by, the U.S. Commodity Exchange Act of 1936, or other applicable statutes and related regulations, that govern trading on regulated U.S. futures exchanges, or similar statutes and regulations that govern trading on regulated markets in other countries. In addition, many electronic trading facilities have only recently initiated trading and do not have significant trading histories. As a result, the trading of contracts on such facilities, and the inclusion of such contracts in the Short-Term VIX ER, may be subject to certain risks not presented by exchange-traded futures contracts, including risks related to the liquidity and price histories of the relevant contracts.

• No Interest or Dividend Payments or Voting Rights—As a holder of the Notes, you will not receive interest payments, and you will not have voting rights or rights to receive cash dividends or other distributions or other rights that holders of securities composing the Index would have.

• Certain Built-In Costs Are Likely to Adversely Affect the Value of the Notes Prior to Maturity—While the payment at maturity described in this pricing supplement is based on the full principal amount of your Notes, the original issue price of the Notes includes the agent’s commission and the cost of hedging our obligations under the Notes through one or more of our affiliates. As a result, the price, if any, at which Barclays Capital Inc. and other affiliates of Barclays Bank PLC will be willing to purchase Notes from you in secondary market transactions will likely be lower than the original issue price, and any sale prior to the maturity date could result in a substantial loss to you. The Notes are not designed to be short-term trading instruments. Accordingly, you should be able and willing to hold your Notes to maturity.

• Lack of Liquidity—The Notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. Barclays Capital Inc. and other affiliates of Barclays Bank PLC intend to offer to purchase the Notes in the secondary market but are 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. Because other dealers are not likely to make a secondary market for the Notes, the price at which you may be able to trade your Notes is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which Barclays Capital Inc. and other affiliates of Barclays Bank PLC are willing to buy the Notes.

• Potential Conflicts—We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance of the Notes, including acting as calculation agent and hedging our obligations under the Notes. In performing these duties, the economic interests of the calculation agent and other affiliates of ours are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the Notes.

• Many Economic and Market Factors Will Impact the Value of the Notes—In addition to the levels of the Index on any day, the value of the Notes will be affected by a number of economic and market factors that may either offset or magnify each other, including:

• the expected volatility of the Index;

• the time to maturity of the Notes;

• interest and yield rates in the market generally;

• a variety of economic, financial, political, regulatory or judicial events;

• the exchange rate and the volatility of the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the currencies in which the stocks comprising the Index are denominated; and

• our creditworthiness, including actual or anticipated downgrades in our credit ratings.

Description of the S&P 500^® Dynamic VEQTOR^TM Excess Return Index

We have derived all information contained in this pricing supplement regarding the S&P 500^® Dynamic VEQTOR^TM (Volatility EQuity Target Return) Excess Return Index (the “Index”), the Constituent Indices (as defined below) and certain other indices used to calculate the Index, including, without limitation, their composition, method of calculation and changes in their components, from publicly available information. Such information regarding the Index, the Constituent Indices and certain other indices used to calculate the Index, set forth in this pricing supplement reflects the policies of, and is subject to change by, Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC, a subsidiary of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. (the “index sponsor”).

PS–8

Information contained on certain websites mentioned below is not incorporated by reference in, and should not be considered part of, this pricing supplement or the accompanying prospectus supplement and prospectus.

Overview

The Index seeks to provide investors with broad equity market exposure with an implied volatility hedge by dynamically allocating its notional investments among three components: equity, volatility and cash. The so-called “volatility hedge” component of the Index is premised on the observation that historically (1) volatility in the equity markets tends to correlate negatively to the performance of U.S. equity markets (i.e., volatility increases in periods of negative market returns, and vice versa) and (2) rapid declines in the performance of the U.S. equity markets generally tend to be associated with particularly high volatility in such markets. The Index, therefore, seeks to reflect such historically-observed trends by allocating a greater proportion of its notional value to investments in the U.S. equity markets during periods of low market volatility with the ability to allocate a greater proportion of its notional value to investments in a reference asset that tracks implied volatility during periods of high market volatility (but in no case will the weighting of the volatility component exceed a 40% allocation of the Index). The Index also incorporates a “stop loss” mechanic that shifts the entire value of the Index to a non-interest bearing cash investment under certain exceptional circumstances as described herein.

The equity component of the Index is represented by the S&P 500^® Excess Return Index™ (the “S&P 500 ER”) and the volatility component of the Index is represented by the S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures™ Index ER (the “Short-Term VIX ER” and together with the S&P 500 ER, the “Constituent Indices”). The S&P 500 ER is intended to provide a performance benchmark for the U.S. equity markets, and the Short-Term VIX ER seeks to model the return from a daily rolling long position in the first and second month CBOE Volatility Index^® (the “VIX Index”) futures contracts. Each of these components is discussed in further detail below.

The Index is calculated on an excess return basis because its Constituent Indices are excess return indices, specifically the S&P 500 ER and the Short-Term VIX ER, and because the cash component of the Index in the event of a stop loss event is not interest bearing. For more information on the S&P 500 ER and the Short-Term VIX ER, see “—The Constituent Indices”. For considerations associated with excess return indices, see “Risk Factors—Your Notes are Linked to an Excess Return Index and Not a Total Return Index”.

The Index allocates weightings to the equity and volatility components based on a combination of realized volatility levels and implied volatility trends in accordance with the rules described herein. These allocations are evaluated on a daily basis, although changes in allocation may occur less frequently. The Index also includes a “stop loss” feature, whereby the Index will move into a 100% cash position if the value of the Index has fallen by an amount greater than or equal to 2% over the immediately preceding five index business days.

Publication of Index Values

The value of the Index is calculated in accordance with the method described in “—Calculation of the Index” below. The value of the Index at the close of trading on each index business day will be published by Bloomberg L.P. or a successor under the ticker symbol “SPVQDER”.

An “index business day” is any day on which both the S&P 500 ER and Short-Term VIX ER are calculated.

Before describing the Index and the Constituent Indices in detail, we will provide an overview of volatility.

Volatility

Volatility is a statistical measure of the degree of movement of the price of an asset over a period of time and is considered the market standard for expressing the riskiness of an asset. Volatility is generally calculated based on the natural logarithm of the return of an asset over a specified period of time.

Realized volatility is an historical calculation of this degree of movement based on prices or values of the asset observed periodically in the market over a specified period. The realized volatility of an asset is characterized by the frequency of the observations of the asset price used in the calculation and the period over which observations are made. For example, one-month daily realized volatility denotes realized volatility calculated from daily closing asset prices over a one-month period.

Implied volatility is a market estimate of the volatility an asset will realize over a future period of time. The implied volatility of an asset is calculated by reference to the market prices of listed options on the asset. Implied volatility has generally had a strongly negative correlation to equity market returns.

Composition of the Index

The Index is comprised of three components:

1. Equity, represented by the S&P 500 ER;

2. Volatility, represented by the Short-Term VIX ER; and

3. Cash.

Equity and volatility component allocations

On any index business day, t, the Index allocates weightings to the equity and volatility components based on a combination of realized and implied volatility trend decision variables as described below. While the allocations are reviewed at the close of each index business day, they may change on a less frequent basis.

Subject to the occurrence of a stop loss event (as described below), the equity and volatility components make up 100% of the notional portfolio included in the Index.

Stop loss feature

As described in further detail below, the Index will allocate into a 100% cash position if the value of the Index has fallen by an amount greater than or equal to 2% over the immediately preceding five index business days. For an example of how the stop loss feature operates, please refer to “—Example of Stop Loss Event Calculation”.

Calculation of the Index

Step 1: Determine the Realized Volatility

On any index business day, t, the Index uses the annualized one-month realized volatility level of the S&P 500^® Index (the “S&P 500”) as the indicator of the realized volatility environment, calculated as of the immediately preceding index business day as follows:

where:

RV_t-1 = the annualized one-month realized volatility, calculated as of the immediately preceding index business day; and

SPX = the S&P 500.

For an illustration of the historical realized volatility environment from December 2005 to December 2009, calculated in accordance with the rules set forth herein, please see the graph entitled “Realized Volatility Environment” in the section entitled “—Graphical Illustrations of the Historical Realized Volatility Environment, Historical Implied Volatility and Hypothetical Equity and Volatility Allocations” below.

Step 2: Determine the Implied Volatility Trend

The Index aims to anticipate changes in the volatility environment by observing 5-day and 20-day moving averages of one-month implied volatility. Implied volatility is calculated by reference to the CBOE Volatility Index^® (the “VIX Index”).

Determining the implied volatility trend involves three steps: (a) first, calculating the 5-day implied volatility average and the 20-day implied volatility average (each, as defined below), (b) next, evaluating the applicable daily implied volatility trend indicators (as defined below) and (c) finally, using the daily implied volatility trend indicators to determine the implied volatility trend (as defined below).

Part (a): Calculate the 5-day and 20-day implied volatility averages

On any index business day, t,

the “5-day implied volatility average” is equal to:

and the “20-day implied volatility average” is equal to:

PS–10

where:

5IVt-1	=	the 5-day implied volatility average, calculated as of the immediately preceding index business day;
20IVt-1	=	the 20-day implied volatility average, calculated as of the immediately preceding index business day; and
VIX	=	the CBOE Volatility Index®. For a description of the CBOE Volatility Index®, please see “—The Constituent Indices—The S&P 500 Short-Term VIX Futures™ Index ER—CBOE Volatility Index® (VIX)”.

Part (b): Evaluate the applicable daily implied volatility trend indicators

For any index business day, t, the “daily implied volatility trend indicator” is deemed to be “up” (+1) if the 5-day implied volatility average on the immediately preceding index business day is greater than or equal to the 20-day implied volatility average on the immediately preceding index business day, and is deemed to be “down” (-1) if the 5-day implied volatility average on the immediately preceding index business day is less than the 20-day implied volatility average on the immediately preceding index business day. This concept is expressed as follows:

where:

DIVT_{t- 1} = the daily implied volatility trend indicator as of the immediately preceding index business day.

Part (c): Determine the implied volatility trend

An “implied volatility trend” is established if the daily implied volatility trend indicators remain constant for at least 10 consecutive index business days. Therefore, on any index business day, t, the implied volatility trend (IVT_t) will exhibit:

For an illustration of historical implied volatility trends from December 2005 to December 2009, calculated in accordance with the rules set forth herein, please see the graph entitled “Implied Volatility” in the section entitled “—Graphical Illustrations of the Historical Realized Volatility Environment, Historical Implied Volatility and Hypothetical Equity and Volatility Allocations” below.

Step 3: Determine the Target Weightings of the Equity Component and Volatility Component

On each index business day, t, once the realized volatility and the implied volatility trend have been determined for that day, the weightings of each of the equity and volatility components for purposes of calculating the Index will be allocated in accordance with the pre-defined weightings set forth below:

Realized Volatility (RVt-1)	Target Equity Component / Volatility Component Allocation
	Implied Volatility Downtrend (IVTt-1 = -1)	No Implied Volatility Trend (IVTt-1  = 0)	Implied Volatility Uptrend (IVTt-1 = +1)
Less than 10%	97.5% / 2.5%	97.5% / 2.5%	90% / 10%
10% £ RVt-1 < 20%	97.5% / 2.5%	90% / 10%	85% / 15%
20% £ RVt-1 < 35%	90% / 10%	85% / 15%	75% / 25%
35% £ RVt-1 < 45%	85% / 15%	75% / 25%	60% / 40%
More than 45%	75% / 25%	60% / 40%	60% / 40%

PS–11

where:

	weight of the S&P 500 ER within the Index;
	weight of the Short-Term VIX ER within the Index; and

Although the allocations to the equity and volatility components of the Index are evaluated daily, changes in allocation may occur less frequently if the realized volatility and/or implied volatility trend on any given index business day, calculated in accordance with Steps 1 and 2, have not changed sufficiently from the prior index business day to require a change in allocation in accordance with the table above.

Step 4: Evaluate Whether a Stop Loss Event Has Occurred

On each index business day, t, the performance of the Index over the immediately preceding five index business days (the “5-day return”) is evaluated. If the 5-day return is equal to or less than -2.0%, as calculated in accordance with the formula set forth below, the Index will be deemed to have experienced a “stop loss event”. Following the occurrence of a stop loss event, 100% of the Index will be shifted into a non-interest bearing cash position at the close of that index business day, t, meaning that the weightings of each of the equity and volatility components will equal 0%.

On each index business day, t, the 5-day return, expressed as a percentage, is calculated as follows:

where:

Indext-1	=	The closing value of the Index on the immediately preceding index business day; and
Indext-6	=	The closing value of the Index on the sixth index business day preceding the day on which the 5-day return is calculated.

The stop loss event will terminate once the 5-day return is greater than -2.0% (e.g., -1.9%). The period during which the Index will be in a stop loss position can be as short as one (1) index business day (e.g., if on the following index business day, the 5-day return is greater than -2.0% (e.g., -1.9%)) and no longer than five (5) consecutive index business days (given that five consecutive index business days in a cash position will necessarily result in a 5-day return of 0%). Following the termination of a stop loss event, 100% of the Index will be allocated back into the equity and volatility components at the close of that index business day, t, in accordance with Steps 1 through 3 above. For an example of how the stop loss feature operates, including how a stop loss event is triggered under the Index; the equity, volatility and cash component allocations over that period; the termination of the stop loss event; and the resulting re-allocation into the equity and volatility components, please refer to “—Example of Stop Loss Event Calculation”.

For an illustration of hypothetical equity, volatility and cash allocations from December 2005 to December 2009, calculated in accordance with the rules set forth herein, please see the graph entitled “Hypothetical Equity and Volatility Allocations” in the section entitled “—Graphical Illustrations of the Historical Realized Volatility Environment, Historical Implied Volatility and Hypothetical Equity and Volatility Allocations” below.

Step 5: Calculate the Value of the Index

Part (a): Calculation of the value of the Index assuming no stop loss event

On any index business day, t, on which no stop loss event has occurred, the value of the Index is calculated as follows:

where:

Index_t = the closing value of the Index on day t;

Index_t-1 = the closing value of the Index on the immediately preceding index business day;

EquityEDR_t = the daily return of the equity component, as determined by the following formula:

`

PS–12

where:

weight of the equity component on the immediately preceding index business day (determined in accordance with Step 3 above);

SPXE = The closing level of the S&P 500 ER. Please see the section entitled “—The Constituent Indices—The S&P 500^® Index, the S&P 500^® Total Return Index™ and the S&P 500^® Excess Return Index™—S&P 500^® Excess Return Index™^” below for a description of the calculation of the S&P 500 ER; and

VolEDR_t = the daily return of the volatility component, as determined by the following formula:

where:

weight of the volatility component on the immediately preceding index business day (determined in accordance with Step 3 above); and

SPVXSP = the closing value of the Short-Term VIX ER.

Part (b): Calculation of the Index assuming the occurrence of a stop loss event

Following the occurrence of a stop loss event on any index business day, t, the daily return of both the equity component (EquityEDR_t) and the volatility component (VolEDR_t) will equal zero. This is because, as described in Step 4 above, following the occurrence of a stop loss event, 100% of the Index will be shifted into a non-interest bearing cash position at the close of that index business day, t, meaning that the weightings of each of the equity component and the volatility component will equal zero.

Therefore, if the index sponsor has determined that a stop loss event has occurred, the closing value of the Index on the current index business day, t, will equal the closing value of the Index on the immediately following index business day, t+1, as illustrated below:

As described in Step 4 above, following the termination of a stop loss event, 100% of the Index will be allocated back into the equity and volatility components at the close of that index business day, t. For an example of how the stop loss feature operates, including the re-allocation into the equity and volatility components following the termination of a stop loss event, please refer to “—Example of Stop Loss Event Calculation”.

The Constituent Indices

The S&P 500^® Index, the S&P 500^® Total Return Index™ and the S&P 500^® Excess Return Index™

The following section describes each of the S&P 500^® Index (the “S&P 500”), the S&P 500^® Total Return Index™ (the “S&P 500 TR”) and the S&P 500^® Excess Return Index™ (the “S&P 500 ER”).

S&P 500^® Index

The S&P 500^® Index (the “S&P 500”) is intended to provide an indication of the pattern of stock price movement in the U.S. equities market. The daily calculation of the level of the S&P 500, discussed below in further detail, is based on the aggregate market value of the common stocks of 500 companies as of a particular time compared to the aggregate average market value of the common stocks of 500 similar companies during the base period of the years 1941 through 1943. The S&P 500 is calculated, maintained and published by Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC, a subsidiary of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. (the “index sponsor”) and is reported by Bloomberg L.P. under the ticker symbol “SPX <Index>”.

Composition of the S&P 500

The index sponsor chooses companies for inclusion in the S&P 500 with the aim of achieving a distribution by broad industry groupings that approximates the distribution of these groupings in the common stock population of the U.S. equity market. Relevant criteria employed by the index sponsor for new additions include the financial viability of the particular company, the extent to which that company represents the industry group to which it is assigned, adequate liquidity and reasonable price, an unadjusted market capitalization of US$3 billion or more, U.S. domicile, a public float of at least 50% and company classification (i.e. operating

PS–13

companies and not a closed-end fund, holding company, tracking stock, partnership, investment vehicle or royalty trust). The ten main groups of companies that comprise the S&P 500 include: Consumer Discretionary, Consumer Staples, Energy, Financials, Health Care, Industrials, Information Technology, Materials, Telecommunication Services and Utilities. The index sponsor may from time to time, in its sole discretion, add companies to, or delete companies from, the S&P 500 to achieve the objectives stated above.

The S&P 500 does not reflect the payment of dividends on the stocks included in the S&P 500.

Computation of the S&P 500

As of September 16, 2005, the index sponsor has used a full float-adjusted formula to calculate the S&P 500. With a float-adjusted index, the share counts used in calculating the S&P 500 will reflect only those shares that are available to investors, not all of a company’s outstanding shares.

The float-adjusted S&P 500 is calculated as the quotient of (1) the sum of the products of (a) the price of each common stock, (b) the total shares outstanding of each common stock and (c) the investable weight factor and (2) the index divisor.

The investable weight factor is calculated by dividing (1) the available float shares by (2) the total shares outstanding. Available float shares reflects float adjustments made to the total shares outstanding. Float adjustments seek to distinguish strategic shareholders (whose holdings depend on concerns such as maintaining control rather than the economic fortunes of the company) from those holders whose investments depend on the stock’s price and their evaluation of the company’s future prospects. S&P defines three groups of shareholders whose holdings are subject to float adjustment:

• holdings by other publicly traded corporations, venture capital firms, private equity firms, strategic partners, or leveraged buyout groups;

• holdings by government entities, including all levels of government in the United States or foreign countries; and

• holdings by current or former officers and directors of the company, founders of the company, or family trusts of officers, directors, or founders, as well as holdings of trusts, foundations, pension funds, employee stock ownership plans, or other investment vehicles associated with and controlled by the company.

In cases where holdings in a group as described above exceeds 10% of the outstanding shares of a company, the holdings of that group are excluded from the float-adjusted count of shares to be used in the S&P 500’s calculation. In addition, treasury stock, stock options, restricted shares, equity participation units, warrants, preferred stock, convertible stock, and rights are not part of the float. Shares held by mutual funds, investment advisory firms, pension funds, or foundations not associated with the company and investment funds in insurance companies, shares of a United States company traded in Canada as “exchangeable shares”, shares that trust beneficiaries may buy or sell without difficulty or significant additional expense beyond typical brokerage fees, and, if a company has multiple classes of stock outstanding, shares in an unlisted or non-traded class if such shares are convertible by shareholders without undue delay and cost, are, however, considered part of the float.

Changes in a company’s shares outstanding of 5.0% or more due to mergers, acquisitions, public offerings, tender offers, Dutch auctions, or exchange offers are made as soon as reasonably possible. All other changes of 5.0% or more (due to, for example, company stock repurchases, private placements, redemptions, exercise of options, warrants, conversion of preferred stock, notes, debt, equity participation units, or other recapitalizations) are made weekly and are announced on Wednesdays for implementation after the close of trading on the following Wednesday (one week later). Changes of less than 5.0% are accumulated and made quarterly on the third Friday of March, June, September, and December, and are usually announced two to five days prior. Corporate actions such as stock splits, stock dividends, spinoffs and rights offerings are generally applied after the close of trading on the day prior to the ex-date. Share changes resulting from exchange offers are made on the ex-date. Changes in investable weight factors of more than ten percentage points caused by corporate actions (such as merger and acquisition activity, restructurings, or spin-offs) will be made as soon as reasonably possible. Other changes in investable weight factors will be made annually, in September when investable weight factors are reviewed.

As discussed above, the level of the S&P 500 is the quotient of (1) the total float-adjusted market capitalization of the S&P 500’s constituents (i.e., the sum of the products of (a) the price of each common stock, (b) the total shares outstanding of each common stock and (c) the investable weight factor) and (2) the index divisor. Continuity in index levels is maintained by adjusting the divisor for all changes in the constituents’ share capital after the base date, which is the period from 1941 to 1943. This includes additions and deletions to the S&P 500, rights issues, share buybacks and issuances, and spin-offs. The index divisor’s time series is, in effect, a chronological summary of all changes affecting the base capital of the S&P 500 since the base date. The index divisor is adjusted such that the index level at an instant just prior to a change in base capital equals the index level at an instant immediately following that change. Some corporate actions, such as stock splits require simple changes in the common shares outstanding and the stock prices of the companies in the S&P 500 and do not require adjustments to the index divisor.

S&P 500^® Total Return Index™

The total return version of the S&P 500 Index, the S&P 500^® Total Return Index™ (the “S&P 500 TR”), is calculated in the same manner as the S&P 500 described above; however, the difference between the S&P 500 and the S&P 500 TR is that the S&P 500 reflects changes in the prices of its underlying stocks, while the S&P 500 TR reflects both changes in stock prices and the reinvestment of the dividend income from its underlying stocks.

Specifically, in calculating the S&P 500 TR, ordinary cash dividends are applied on the ex-dividend date. “Special dividends” are those dividends that are outside of the normal payment pattern established historically by the issuing corporation. These may be described by the corporation as “special”, “extra”, “year-end”, or “return of capital”. Whether a dividend is funded from operating earnings or from other sources of cash does not affect the determination of whether it is ordinary or special. “Special dividends” are treated as corporate actions with offsetting price and divisor adjustments; the Index reflects both ordinary and special dividends.

The level of the S&P 500 TR is reported on Bloomberg page “SPXT <Index>“.

S&P 500^® Excess Return Index™

The excess return version of the S&P 500 Index, the S&P 500^® Excess Return Index™ (the “S&P 500 ER”), is calculated in the same manner as the S&P 500 TR described above; however, the difference between the S&P 500 ER and the S&P 500 TR is that the S&P 500 ER is designed to track an unfunded investment in the S&P 500.

Specifically, the S&P 500 ER calculates the return on an investment in the S&P 500 TR where the investment was made through the use of borrowed funds. Therefore, the return of the S&P 500 ER will be equal to that of the S&P 500 TR minus the associated borrowing costs, which are represented by the overnight LIBOR.

The level of the S&P 500 ER is not currently published.

The S&P 500 Short-Term VIX Futures™ Index ER

The S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures™ Index ER (the “Short-Term VIX ER”) seeks to provide investors with exposure to one or more maturities of futures contracts on the CBOE Volatility Index^® (the “VIX Index”), which reflects forward implied volatility of the S&P 500 at various points along the volatility forward curve. The VIX Index is calculated based on the prices of put and call options on the S&P 500.

The Short-Term VIX ER is an index composed of futures contracts on the VIX Index with a daily rolling long position in contracts of specified maturities and is intended to reflect the returns that are potentially available through an unleveraged investment in those contracts. The Short-Term VIX ER is calculated, maintained and published by Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC, a subsidiary of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. (the “index sponsor”) and is reported by Bloomberg under the ticker symbol “SPVXSP”.

The Short-Term VIX ER is a rolling index, which rolls on a daily basis. One of the effects of daily rolling is to maintain a constant weighted average maturity for the underlying futures contracts. The Short-Term VIX ER is composed of futures contracts on the VIX Index. Unlike equities, which typically entitle the holder to a continuing stake in a corporation, futures contracts normally specify a certain date for the delivery of the underlying asset or financial instrument or, in the case of futures contracts relating to indices such as the VIX Index, a certain date for payment in cash of an amount determined by the level of the underlying index. As described in more detail below, the Short-Term VIX ER operates by selling futures contracts on the VIX Index on a daily basis, specifying cash settlement on a nearby date and purchasing futures contracts on the VIX Index on a daily basis specifying cash settlement on a later date. The roll for each contract occurs on each Short-Term VIX ER index business day according to a pre-determined schedule that has the effect of keeping constant the weighted average maturity of the relevant futures contracts. This process is known as “rolling” a futures position, and the Short-Term VIX ER is a “rolling index”. The constant weighted average maturity for the futures underlying the Short-Term VIX ER is one month.

A “Short-Term VIX ER index business day” is a day on which (1) it is a business day in New York and (2) the CBOE is open.

CBOE Volatility Index^® (VIX)

We have derived all information contained in this pricing supplement regarding the VIX Index, including, without limitation, its make-up, method of calculation and changes in its components, from publicly available information. Such information reflects the policies of, and is subject to change by, the CBOE. We make no representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of such information. The VIX Index was developed by the CBOE and is calculated, maintained and published by the CBOE. The CBOE has no obligation to continue to publish, and may discontinue the publication of, the VIX Index. The VIX Index is reported by Bloomberg L.P. under the ticker symbol “VIX.”

The VIX Index is a benchmark index designed to measure the market price of volatility in large cap U.S. stocks over 30 days in the future, and calculated based on the prices of certain put and call options on the S&P 500. The VIX Index measures the premium paid by investors for certain options linked to the level of the S&P 500. During periods of market instability, the implied level of volatility of the S&P 500 typically increases and, consequently, the prices of options linked to the S&P 500 typically increase (assuming all other relevant factors remain constant or have negligible changes). This, in turn, causes the level of the VIX Index to increase.

PS–15

Because the VIX Index may increase in times of uncertainty, The VIX Index is known as the “fear gauge” of the broad U.S. equities market. The VIX Index has historically had negative correlations to the S&P 500.

The calculation of the VIX Index involves a formula that uses the prices of a weighted series of out-of-the money put and call options on the level of the S&P 500 (“SPX Options”) with two adjacent expiry terms to derive a constant 30-day forward measure of market volatility. The VIX Index is calculated independently of any particular option pricing model and in doing so seeks to eliminate any biases which may otherwise be included in using options pricing methodology based on certain assumptions.

Although the VIX Index measures the 30-day forward volatility of the S&P 500 as implied by the SPX Options, 30-day options are only available once a month. To arrive at the VIX Index level, a broad range of out-of-the money SPX Options expiring on the two closest nearby months (“near term options” and “next term options,” respectively) are selected in order to bracket a 30-day calendar period. SPX Options having a maturity of less than eight days are excluded at the outset and, when the near term options have eight days or less left to expiration, the VIX Index rolls to the second and third contract months in order to minimize pricing anomalies that occur close to expiration. The model-free implied volatility using prices of the near term options and next term options are then calculated on a strike price weighted average basis in order to arrive at a single average implied volatility value for each month. The results of each of the two months are then interpolated to arrive at a single value with a constant maturity of 30 days to expiration.

Futures on the VIX Index were first launched for trading by the CBOE in 2004. The VIX Index futures have expirations ranging from the front month consecutively out to the tenth month. Futures on the VIX Index allow investors the ability to invest in forward market volatility based on their view of the future direction or movement of the VIX Index. Investors that believe the implied volatility of the S&P 500 will increase may buy futures on the VIX Index, expecting that the level of the VIX Index will increase. Conversely, investors that believe that the implied volatility of the S&P 500 will decline may sell futures on the VIX Index, expecting that the level of the VIX Index will fall.

Futures Markets

The Short-Term VIX ER is composed of one or more futures contracts on the VIX Index. Futures contracts on the VIX Index are traded on regulated futures exchanges, in the over-the-counter market and on various types of electronic trading facilities and markets. At present, all of the contracts included in the Short-Term VIX ER are exchange-traded futures contracts. An exchange-traded futures contract provides for the purchase and sale of a specified type and quantity of an underlying asset or financial instrument during a stated delivery month for a fixed price. Because the VIX Index is not a tangible item that can be purchased and sold directly, a futures contract on the VIX Index provides for the payment and receipt of cash based on the level of the VIX Index at settlement or liquidation of the contract. A futures contract provides for a specified settlement month in which the cash settlement is made or in which the underlying asset or financial instrument is to be delivered by the seller (whose position is therefore described as “short”) and acquired by the purchaser (whose position is therefore described as “long”).

There is no purchase price paid or received on the purchase or sale of a futures contract. Instead, an amount of cash or cash equivalents must be deposited with the broker as “initial margin”. This amount varies based on the requirements imposed by the exchange clearing houses, but may be lower than 5% of the notional value of the contract. This margin deposit provides collateral for the obligations of the parties to the futures contract.

By depositing margin, which may vary in form depending on the exchange, with the clearing house or broker involved, a market participant may be able to earn interest on its margin funds, thereby increasing the total return that it may realize from an investment in futures contracts. The market participant normally makes to, and receives from, the broker subsequent daily payments as the price of the futures contract fluctuates. These payments are called “variation margin” and are made as the existing positions in the futures contract become more or less valuable, a process known as “marking to the market”.

Futures contracts are traded on organized exchanges, known as “designated contract markets” in the United States. At any time prior to the expiration of a futures contract, subject to the availability of a liquid secondary market, a trader may elect to close out its position by taking an opposite position on the exchange on which the trader obtained the position. This operates to terminate the position and fix the trader’s profit or loss. Futures contracts are cleared through the facilities of a centralized clearing house and a brokerage firm, referred to as a “futures commission merchant”, which is a member of the clearing house. The clearing house guarantees the performance of each clearing member that is a party to a futures contract by, in effect, taking the opposite side of the transaction. Clearing houses do not guarantee the performance by clearing members of their obligations to their customers.

Unlike equity securities, futures contracts, by their terms, have stated expirations and, at a specified point in time prior to expiration, trading in a futures contract for the current delivery month will cease. As a result, a market participant wishing to maintain its exposure to a futures contract on a particular asset or financial instrument with the nearest expiration must close out its position in the expiring contract and establish a new position in the contract for the next delivery month, a process referred to as “rolling”. For example, a market participant with a long position in November VIX Index futures that wishes to maintain a position in the nearest delivery month will, as the November contract nears expiration, sell November futures, which serves to close out the existing long position, and buy December futures. This will “roll” the November position into a December position, and, when the November contract expires, the market participant will still have a long position in the nearest delivery month.

PS–16

Futures exchanges and clearing houses in the United States are subject to regulation by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission. Exchanges may adopt rules and take other actions that affect trading, including imposing speculative position limits, maximum price fluctuations and trading halts and suspensions and requiring liquidation of contracts in certain circumstances. Futures markets outside the United States are generally subject to regulation by comparable regulatory authorities. The structure and nature of trading on non-U.S. exchanges, however, may differ from this description.

Calculation of the Short-Term VIX ER

The Short-Term VIX ER measures the return from a rolling long position in the first and second month VIX Index futures contracts. The Short-Term VIX ER rolls continuously throughout each month from the first month VIX Index futures contract into the second month VIX Index futures contract. The Short-Term VIX ER is intended to reflect the returns that are potentially available through an unleveraged investment in certain futures contracts on the VIX Index. The total return version of the Short-Term VIX ER (i.e., the S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures™ Index TR) is intended to reflect the returns that are potentially available through such an unleveraged investment plus the specified Treasury Bill rate that could be earned on the notional value of that index, which would then be reinvested at that rate. On any Short-Term VIX ER index business day, t, the Short-Term VIX ER is calculated as follows:

IndexER_t = IndexER_t-1 * (1+ CDR_t)

where:

IndexER_t-1 = The Short-Term VIX ER on the preceding Short-Term VIX ER index business day.

CDR_t = Contract Daily Return, as determined by the following formula:

where:

_t-1 = the preceding Short-Term VIX ER index business day.

TWDO_t Total Dollar Weight Obtained on t, as determined by the following formula for the Short-Term VIX ER:

TWDI_t-1 Total Dollar Weight Obtained on t-1, as determined by the following formula for the Short-Term VIX ER:

where:

CRW_{i ,t} = Contract Roll Weight of the i^th VIX Futures Contract on date t.

DCRP_{i ,t} = Daily Contract Reference Price of the i^th VIX Futures Contract on date t.

Contract Rebalancing

The roll period starts on the Tuesday prior to the monthly CBOE VIX Futures Settlement Date (the Wednesday falling 30 calendar days before the S&P 500 option expiration for the following month), and runs through the Tuesday prior to the subsequent month’s CBOE VIX Futures Settlement Date (“roll period”). Thus, the Short-Term VIX ER is rolling on a continual basis. On the Short-Term VIX ER index business day after the current roll period ends the following roll period will begin. In calculating the excess return of the Short-Term VIX ER, the Contract Roll Weights (CRWi,t) of each of the contracts in the Short-Term VIX ER, on a given Short-Term VIX ER index business day, t, are determined as follows:

PS–17

where:

dt = The total number of business days in the current roll period beginning with and including, the starting CBOE VIX Futures Settlement Date and ending with, but excluding, the following CBOE VIX Futures Settlement Date. The number of business days stays constant in cases of a new holiday introduced intra-month or an unscheduled market closure.

dr = The total number of business days within a roll period beginning with, and including the following business day and ending with, but excluding, the following CBOE VIX Futures Settlement Date. The number of business days includes a new holiday introduced intra-month up to the business day preceding such a holiday.

At the close on the Tuesday, corresponding to the start of the roll period, all of the weight is allocated to the first month contract. Then on each subsequent business day a fraction of the first month VIX Index futures holding is sold and an equal notional amount of the second month VIX Index futures is bought. The fraction, or quantity, is proportional to the number of first month VIX Index futures contracts as of the previous index roll day, and inversely proportional to the length of the current roll period. In this way the initial position in the first month contract is progressively moved to the second month contract over the course of the month, until the following roll period starts when the old second month VIX Index futures contract becomes the new first month VIX Index futures contract.

In addition to the transactions described above, the weight of each index component is also adjusted every day to ensure that the change in total dollar exposure for the Short-Term VIX ER is only due to the price change of each contract and not due to using a different weight for a contract trading at a higher price.

Historical Assumptions

Prior to April 2008, not all consecutive first to seventh month VIX Index futures were listed. For the purpose of historical Short-Term VIX ER index calculations, the following assumptions have been made in interpolating VIX Index futures contract prices from near-by listed contracts.

When i^th future was not listed, but i^th+1 and i^th-1 futures were listed, the following interpolation has been assumed:

When i^th and i^th+1 futures were not listed, but i^th+2 and i^th-1 futures were listed, the following interpolation has been assumed:

When i^th, i^th+1 and i^th+2 futures were not listed, the following interpolation has been assumed:

where:

T_i = Expiration of the i^th VIX Index Futures contract; and

BDays = Number of business days between VIX Futures Expiration Days.

Base Date and Launch Date of the Index

The base date for the Index is December 20, 2005 at a base value of 100,000. The launch date for the Index was November 18, 2009 at a value of 177,795.625.

Index Governance

The S&P U.S. Index Committee (the “Index Committee”) maintains the Index. There are eight members of the Index Committee; all are full-time professional members of the index sponsor’s staff. The Index Committee meets monthly. At each meeting, the Index Committee reviews pending corporate actions that may affect Index constituents, statistics comparing the composition of the indices to the market, companies that are being considered as candidates for addition to an index, and any significant market events. In addition, the Index Committee may revise index policy covering rules for selecting companies, treatment of dividends, share counts or other matters.

The index sponsor considers information about changes to its U.S. indices and related matters to be potentially market moving and material. Therefore, all Index Committee discussions are confidential.

Historical Closing Values of the Index

Since its inception, the Index has experienced fluctuations. Any historical upward or downward trend in the value of the Index during any period shown below is not an indication that the value of the Index is more or less likely to increase or decrease at any time during the term of the Notes. The historical values do not give an indication of future performance of the Index. There can be no assurance that the future performance of the Index or its Constituent Indices will result in holders of the Notes receiving a positive return on their investment.

The Index was launched on November 18, 2009 and the base date for the Index is December 20, 2005. All data relating to the period prior to the launch date of the Index is an historical estimate by the index sponsor using available data as to how the Index may have performed in the pre-launch date period. Such data does not represent actual performance and should not be interpreted as an indication of actual performance. Accordingly, the following table and graph illustrate:

(i) on a hypothetical basis, how the Index would have performed from December 30, 2005 to December 31, 2008 based on the selection criteria and methodology described above; and

(ii) on an actual basis, how the Index has performed from December 31, 2009 onwards.

Graph 1 is designed to show how the Index would have performed in a period of generally steady gains of the S&P 500 ER (July 17, 2006 to July 13, 2007). Graph 2 is designed to show how the Index would have performed in a period of modest gains followed by a second half of the year during which the S&P 500 ER exhibited more volatile periods of gains and losses (January 16, 2007 to January 15, 2008). Graph 3 is designed to show how the Index would have performed in a period of relative flat returns followed by a second half of the year during which the S&P 500 ER exhibited a period of significant declines in return (March 17, 2008 to March 13, 2009).

PS–22

5 Based on the index levels shown above, the 5-day return on February 27, 2009 is equal to -2.36%, and was calculated as follows:

Because the 5-day return of -2.36% on February 27, 2009 is less than -2.0%, a stop loss event is deemed to occur. As described above in “—Calculation of the Index—Step 4: Evaluate Whether a Stop Loss Event Has Occurred”, following the occurrence of a stop loss event, 100% of the Index is shifted into a cash position at the close of that index business day. Therefore, the closing value of the Index on the following index business day, March 2, 2009, is equal to the closing value of the Index on February 27, 2009.

In this example, this stop loss event terminates on March 6, 2009, when the 5-day return is greater than -2.0%. As described above in “—Calculation of the Index—Step 4: Evaluate Whether a Stop Loss Event Has Occurred”, following the termination of a stop loss event, 100% of the Index will be allocated back into the equity and volatility components at the close of that index business day. Therefore, the allocations to the equity and volatility components change on March 6, 2009, in accordance with the rules set forth in “—Calculation of the Index—Step 3: Determine the Target Weightings of the Equity Component and Volatility Component” above, while the closing value of the Index changes only on the following index business day, March 9, 2009.

This example also demonstrates that a stop loss event may only continue for a maximum of five (5) consecutive index business days. This is because if the closing value of the Index remains the same for five consecutive index business days, the 5-day return of the Index on the sixth index business day will necessarily equal 0%.

The index sponsor expressly agrees and acknowledges that the grant of rights to use the Index as a component of the Notes shall be on an exclusive basis for a two (2) year period commencing on the effective date of the license agreement.

MODIFICATIONS TO THE INDEX

The index sponsor may revise the Index policy covering rules for selecting companies, treatment of dividends, share counts or other matters as described above under “The Index—Index Governance”. The index sponsor may also make determinations relating to market disruption and force majeure events as described below.

If the index sponsor determines, in its sole discretion, that an exchange is forced to close early due to unforeseen events, such as computer or electric power failures, weather conditions or other events, the index sponsor will calculate the value of (1) the S&P 500, S&P 500 TR and S&P 500 ER based on (a) the closing prices published by the exchange, or (b) if no closing price is available, the last regular trade reported for each stock before the exchange closed, and (2) the Short-Term VIX ER based on the most recent prior closing futures prices published by the CBOE, and the roll of the Short-Term VIX ER for that day will be carried to the next Short-Term VIX ER index business day as described above under “The Index—Constituent Indices—The S&P 500 Short-Term VIX Futures™ Index ER—Contract Rebalancing”. In the case of the S&P 500, S&P 500 TR and S&P 500 ER, if an exchange fails to open due to unforeseen circumstances, the index sponsor will use the prior day’s closing prices. If all exchanges fail to open, the index sponsor may determine not to publish the S&P 500 and/or S&P 500 TR, or calculate the S&P 500 ER, for that day. In the case of the Short-Term VIX ER, if an exchange fails to open due to unforeseen circumstances, the index sponsor may determine not to publish the Short-Term VIX ER for that day.

In the case of the Short-Term VIX ER, if an exchange introduces a holiday during the month of a calculation of the Short-Term VIX ER, the Short-Term VIX ER will not be published on that holiday and the roll for that day will be carried to the next Short-Term VIX ER index business day as described above under “The Index—Constituent Indices—The S&P 500 Short-Term VIX Futures™ Index ER—Contract Rebalancing”.

If the index sponsor does not publish the Short-Term VIX ER, S&P 500 and/or S&P 500 TR, and/or does not calculate the S&P 500 ER, the index sponsor may determine not to publish the Index for that day.
