GENERAL TERMS FOR EACH NOTES OFFERING

This pricing supplement relates to separate Note offerings, each linked to a different linked share. The purchaser of a Note will acquire a security linked to a single linked share (not to a basket or index of linked shares) identified on the cover page. Although each Note offering relates only to the individual linked share identified on the cover page, you should not construe that fact as a recommendation as to the merits of acquiring an investment linked to any of those linked shares or as to the suitability of an investment in the Notes.

You should read this document together with the prospectus and prospectus supplement. You should carefully consider, among other things, the matters set forth in “Risk Factors” in the prospectus supplement, as the Notes involve risks not associated with conventional debt securities. We urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisers before you invest in the Notes. The prospectus and prospectus supplement may be accessed on the SEC website at www.sec.gov as follows:

Prospectus dated February 10, 2009:

http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/312070/000119312509023309/d424b3.htm

PROGRAM CREDIT RATING

The Notes are issued under the Medium-Term Notes Program, Series A (the “Program”). The Notes are expected to carry the rating of the Program, which is rated AA- by Standard & Poor’s, a division of the McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. (“S&P”), and will be rated Aa3 by Moody’s Investor Services, Inc. (“Moody’s”). An AA- rating from S&P generally indicates that the issuer’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligations arising from the Program is very strong. An Aa3 rating by Moody’s indicates that the Program is currently judged by Moody’s to be an obligation of high quality and is subject to very low credit risk. The credit rating is a statement of opinion and not a statement of fact and is subject to downward revisions, suspension or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating agency. The rating (1) does not take into account market risk or the performance-related risks of the investment (including, without limitation, the risks associated with the potential negative performance of any reference asset to which the Notes are linked) and (2) is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities.

RISK FACTORS

We urge you to read the section “Risk Factors” beginning on page S-5 of the prospectus supplement as the following highlights some, but not all, of the risk considerations relevant to investing in the Notes. In particular we urge you to read the risk factors discussed under the following headings:

 

 

“Risk Factors—Risks Relating to All Securities”;

 

 

“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”;

 

 

“Risk Factors—Additional Risks Relating to Notes Which Are Not Fully Principal Protected or Are Partially Protected or Contingently Protected”; and

 

 

“Risk Factors—Additional Risks Relating to Securities with a Barrier Percentage or a Barrier Level”.

Suitability of Notes for Investment—You should reach a decision to invest in the Notes after carefully considering, with your advisors, the suitability of the Notes in light of your investment objectives and the specific information set out in this pricing supplement, the prospectus supplement and the prospectus. Neither the Issuer nor any dealer participating in the offering makes any recommendation as to the suitability of the Notes for investment.

No Principal Protection—The principal amount of your investment is not protected and you may receive less, and possibly significantly less, than the amount you invest.

Return Limited to Coupon—Your return is limited to the coupon payments. You will not participate in any appreciation in the value of the linked share.

No Secondary Market—Upon issuance, the Notes will not have an established trading market.

 

PS-2


Market Disruption Events and Adjustments—The calculation agent may adjust any variable described in this pricing supplement, including but not limited to the final valuation date, the initial price, the final price, the protection level, the protection price, the physical delivery amount and any combination thereof as described in the following sections of the accompanying prospectus supplement.

 

 

For a description of what constitutes a market disruption event and the consequences thereof, see “Reference Assets—Equity Securities—Market Disruption Events Relating to Securities with an Equity Security as the Reference Asset” with respect to linked shares that are equity securities and “Reference Assets—Exchange-Traded Funds—Market Disruption Events for Securities with the Reference Asset Comprised of Shares or Other Interests in an Exchange-Traded Fund or Exchange-Traded Funds” with respect to linked shares that are exchange-traded funds; and

 

 

For a description of further adjustments that may affect the linked share, see “Reference Assets—Equity Securities—Share Adjustments Relating to Securities with an Equity Security as the Reference Asset” with respect to linked shares that are equity securities and “Reference Assets—Exchange-Traded Funds—Adjustments Relating to Securities with the Reference Asset Comprised of an Exchange-Traded Fund or Exchange-Traded Funds” with respect to linked shares that are exchange-traded funds.

Taxes—We intend to treat each Note as a put option written by you in respect of the reference asset and a deposit with us of cash in an amount equal to the principal amount of the Note to secure your potential obligation under the put option. Pursuant to the terms of the Notes, you agree to treat the Notes in accordance with this characterization for all U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, because there are no regulations, published rulings or judicial decisions addressing the characterization for U.S. federal income tax purposes of securities with terms that are substantially the same as those of the Notes, other characterizations and treatments are possible. See “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” below.

SUMMARY

Principal Payment at Maturity

A $1,000 investment in the Notes will pay $1,000 at maturity unless: (a) the final price of the linked shares is lower than the initial price of the linked shares; and (b) between the initial valuation date and the final valuation date, inclusive, the closing price of the linked shares on any day is below the protection price.

If the conditions described in (a) and (b) are both true, at maturity you will receive, at our election, instead of the full principal amount of your Notes, either (i) the physical delivery amount (fractional shares to be paid in cash in an amount equal to the fractional shares multiplied by the final price), or (ii) a cash amount equal to the principal amount you invested reduced by the percentage decrease in the price of the linked shares.

If you receive shares of the linked shares in lieu of the principal amount of your Notes at maturity, the value of your investment will approximately equal the market value of the shares of the linked shares you receive, which could be substantially less than the value of your original investment. You may lose some or all of your principal if you invest in the Notes.

Interest

The Notes will bear interest, if any, from the issue date specified on the front cover at the coupon rate specified on the front cover of this pricing supplement. The interest paid, if any, will include interest accrued from the issue date or the prior interest payment date, as the case may be, to, but excluding, the relevant interest payment date or maturity date. No interest will accrue and be payable on your Notes after the maturity date specified on the front cover if such maturity date is extended or if the final valuation date is extended. A “business day” is any day that is a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday that is not a day on which the principal securities market for the linked share or banking institutions in New York City, generally, are authorized or obligated by law, regulation or executive order to close. See generally “Interest Mechanics” in the prospectus supplement.

Physical Delivery Amount

The physical delivery amount will be calculated by the calculation agent by dividing the principal amount of your Notes by the initial price of the linked shares. The physical delivery amount, the initial price of the linked shares and other amounts may change due to stock splits or other corporate actions. See “Reference Assets—Equity Securities—Share Adjustments Relating to Securities with an Equity Security as the Reference Asset” in the accompanying prospectus supplement.

 

PS-3


CERTAIN U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

You should carefully consider, among other things, the matters set forth in “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” in the prospectus supplement. The following discussion summarizes certain of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the purchase, beneficial ownership, and disposition of Notes.

There are no statutory provisions, regulations, published rulings or judicial decisions addressing the characterization for U.S. federal income tax purposes of securities with terms that are substantially the same as those of the Notes. Under one reasonable approach, each Note should be treated as a put option written by you (the “Put Option”) that permits us to (1) sell the reference asset to you at maturity for an amount equal to the Deposit (as defined below), plus any accrued and unpaid interest, acquisition discount and/or original issue discount on the Deposit, or (2) “cash settle” the Put Option (i.e., require you to pay to us at maturity the difference between the Deposit (plus any accrued and unpaid interest, acquisition discount, and/or original issue discount on the Deposit) and the value of the reference asset at such time), and a deposit with us of cash in an amount equal to the “issue price” or purchase price of your Note (the “Deposit”) to secure your potential obligation under the Put Option. We intend to treat the Notes consistent with this approach. However, other reasonable approaches are possible. Pursuant to the terms of the Notes, you agree to treat the Notes as cash deposits and put options with respect to the reference asset for all U.S. federal income tax purposes. Because the term of the Notes is less than one year, we intend to treat the Deposits as “short-term debt instruments” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. 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—Short-Term Obligations” in the accompanying prospectus supplement for certain U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to short-term obligations. On the cover page we have determined the yield on the Deposit and the Put Premium, as described in the section of the accompanying prospectus supplement called “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations—Certain Notes Treated as Deposits and Put Options”. If the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) were successful in asserting an alternative characterization for the Notes, the timing and character of income on the Notes might differ.

On December 7, 2007, the Internal Revenue Service released a notice that may affect the taxation of holders of certain notes (which may include the Notes). According to the notice, the Internal Revenue Service and the Treasury Department are actively considering whether a holder of such notes should be required to accrue ordinary income on a current basis, and they are seeking comments on the subject. It is not possible to determine what guidance they will ultimately issue, if any.

It is possible, however, that under such guidance, holders of such notes will ultimately be required to accrue income currently and this could be applied on a retroactive basis. The Internal Revenue Service and the Treasury Department are also considering other relevant issues, including whether additional gain or loss from such instruments should be treated as ordinary or capital, whether foreign holders of such instruments should be subject to withholding tax on any deemed income accruals, and whether the special “constructive ownership rules” of Section 1260 of the Internal Revenue Code (which are discussed further in the prospectus supplement) might be applied to such instruments. It is unclear whether any regulations or other guidance would apply to the Notes (possibly on a retroactive basis). Prospective investors are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the notice and the possible effect to them of the issuance of regulations or other guidance that affects the federal income tax treatment of the Notes.

We do not plan to request a ruling from the IRS regarding the tax treatment of the Notes, and the IRS or a court may not agree with the tax treatment described in this pricing supplement.

LINKED SHARE ISSUER AND LINKED SHARE INFORMATION

We urge you to read the following sections in the accompanying prospectus supplement: “Reference Assets—Equity Securities—Reference Asset Issuer and Reference Asset Information” with respect to linked shares that are equity securities and “Reference Assets—Exchange-Traded Funds—Reference Asset Investment Company and Reference Asset Information” with respect to linked shares that are exchange-traded funds. Companies with securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which is commonly referred to as the “Exchange Act”, and the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, which is commonly referred to as

 

PS-4


the “’40 Act”, are required to periodically file certain financial and other information specified by the SEC. Information provided to or filed with the SEC electronically can be accessed through a website maintained by the SEC. The address of the SEC’s website is http://www.sec.gov. Information provided to or filed with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act or the ’40 Act by a company issuing a linked share can be located by reference to the relevant linked share SEC file number specified below.

The summary information below regarding the companies issuing the linked shares comes from the issuers’ respective SEC filings and has not been independently verified by us. We do not make any representations as to the accuracy or completeness of such information or of any filings made by the issuers of the linked shares with the SEC. You are urged to refer to the SEC filings made by the relevant issuer and to other publicly available information (such as the issuer’s annual report) to obtain an understanding of the issuer’s business and financial prospects. The summary information contained below is not designed to be, and should not be interpreted as, an effort to present information regarding the financial prospects of any issuer or any trends, events or other factors that may have a positive or negative influence on those prospects or as an endorsement of any particular issuer.

Description of Hypothetical Examples

Each linked share described below contains a Table of Hypothetical Values at Maturity, based on the assumptions outlined for each linked share, which demonstrates the return that you would have earned from (i) an investment in the Notes compared to (ii) a direct investment in the linked shares, based on certain percentage changes between the initial price and final price of the linked shares (prior to the deduction of any applicable brokerage fees or charges).

In each Table of Hypothetical Values at Maturity some amounts are rounded and actual returns may be different. The following is a general description of how the hypothetical values in each table were determined.

On the final valuation date, the final price of the linked shares is determined.

If the final price of the linked shares is at or above its initial price, you will receive a payment at maturity of $1,000, regardless of whether the protection price was ever reached or breached during the term of the Notes.

If the final price of the linked shares is below its initial price but the closing price of the linked shares never fell below the protection price during the term of the Notes, you will receive a payment at maturity of $1,000.

If the final price of the linked shares is below its initial price and the closing price of the linked shares fell below the protection price during the term of the Notes, you will receive, at our election, either (a) a number of shares equal to the physical delivery amount, plus a cash amount equal to the fractional shares multiplied by the final price or (b) the cash amount equal to the principal amount that you invested reduced by the percentage decrease in the price of the linked shares.

In any case, you would also have received the applicable interest payments during the term of the Notes. Since the reinvestment rate for each coupon payment is assumed to be 0.00%, assuming no change in the closing price of the linked shares from the initial valuation date to the final valuation date, if the coupon yield on the Notes exceeds the dividend yield on the linked shares, the total return on the Notes would be higher relative to the total return of an investment in the linked shares.

If you had invested directly in the linked shares for the same period, you would have received total cash payments representing the number of shares of the linked shares you could have purchased with your $1,000 investment on the initial valuation date (assuming you could invest in fractional shares) multiplied by the final price of the linked shares. In addition, investors will realize a payment in respect of dividends which will equal the dividend yield multiplied by the $1,000 investment. Investors should realize that for purposes of these calculations the dividend yield is calculated as of the initial valuation date and is held constant regardless of the final price of the linked shares.

Since the reinvestment rate for any dividend payment is assumed to be 0.00%, assuming no change in the closing price of the linked shares from the initial valuation date to the final valuation date, if the coupon yield on the Notes was less than the dividend yield on the linked shares, the total return on the Notes would be lower relative to the total return of an investment in the linked shares.

In each instance, the percentage gain or loss from an investment in the Notes and a direct investment in the linked shares is set forth below in the Table of Hypothetical Values at Maturity.

Barrick Gold Corporation

According to publicly available information, Barrick Gold Corporation (the “Company”) is a gold mining company. The Company is governed by the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) resulting from the amalgamation, effective July 14, 1984 under the laws of the Province of Ontario, of Camflo Mines Limited, Bob-Clare Investments Limited and the former Barrick Resources Corporation.

The Company entered the gold mining business in 1983 and has operating mines or projects in Canada, the United States, Dominican Republic, Australia, Papua New Guinea, Peru, Chile, Argentina, Pakistan, Russia, South Africa and Tanzania. The Company’s principal products and sources of earnings are gold and copper.

Through a combination of acquisitions and its exploration program, the Company has a project pipeline consisting of ten projects at varying stages of development. The successful development of the Company’s projects is expected to have a significant impact the Company’s future operations. Reflecting higher activity at its Reko Diq, Kabanga, Sedibelo, Cerro Casale and Kainantu projects, the Company expects its 2008 project and development expenses to increase from 2007.

In 2006, with its acquisition of Placer Dome, the Company produced 8.64 million ounces of gold and 367 million pounds of copper. Prior to 2006, the Company did not produce a significant amount of copper. In 2007, the Company’s production was 8.06 million ounces of gold and 402 million pounds of copper, with total cash costs of $350 per ounce and $0.83 per pound, respectively. The processing of lower average ore grades and higher waste stripping contributed to the decrease in 2007 gold production from 2006.

The Company’s head and registered office is located at Brookfield Place, TD Canada Trust Tower, 161 Bay Street, Suite 3700, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2S1.

The linked share’s SEC file number is 001-9059.
