Field Definitions (in order of fields above):

Investor Fee (bps) - The investor fee is calculated cumulatively based on the Yearly Fee and the performance of the underlying index or currency exchange rate and increases each day based on the level of the index or currency exchange rate on that day. Because the investor fee reduces the amount of your return at maturity or upon redemption, if the value of the underlying decreases or does not increase significantly, you may receive less than the principal amount of your investment at maturity or upon redemption. For a more complete description of how the investor fee is calculated, please see the applicable product page and Pricing Supplement at www.iPathETN.com. When redeeming units of the iPath MSCI India Index ETN, a redemption charge of 0.125% times the weekly redemption value will apply. The redemption charge is a one-time charge imposed upon early redemption and is intended to allow the issuer to recoup brokerage and other transaction costs incurred in connection with early redemption.

Spread ($) - The difference in the volume-weighted average bid and offer for all executed orders less than 10,000 notes. Measure of the average cost an investor pays for each share.

Spread (bps) - The difference in the volume-weighted average bid and offer for all executed orders less than 10,000 notes.Calculation: Spread ($) divided by Weighted Volume Avg. Price ($)

iPath ETNs (the “Securities”) are unsecured obligations of Barclays Bank PLC and are not secured debt. The Securities are riskier than ordinary unsecured debt securities and have no principal protection. Risks of investing in the Securities include limited portfolio diversification, trade price fluctuations, uncertain principal repayment, and illiquidity. Investing in the Securities is not equivalent to direct investment in index or index components. The investor fee will reduce the amount of your return at maturity or on redemption, and as a result you may receive less than the principal amount of your investment at maturity or upon redemption of your Securities even if the value of the relevant index has increased. An investment in iPath ETNs may not be suitable for all investors.

The Securities may be sold throughout the day on the exchange through any brokerage account. There are restrictions on the minimum number of Securities you may redeem directly with the issuer as specified in the applicable prospectus. Commissions may apply and there are tax consequences in the event of sale, redemption or maturity of Securities. Sales in the secondary market may result in significant losses.
