What are iPath® Exchange Traded Notes (ETNs)? [Graphic Appears Here] Defining iPath® ETNs ?Senior, unsecured debt securities ?Issued by Barclays Bank PLC ?Have a maturity date ?Linked to the performance of an index, less fees ?Offer no principal protection ETNs are linked to the return of an index, less fees ?Unlike ETFs, no underlying assets are held ?No tracking error to linked index1 ?Provide access to hard-to-reach assets or strategies 1. Tracking error refers to the under/over performance differential of an ETN versus its benchmark index over a given time period, after accounting for the ETN’s fees and costs. One cannot invest directly in an index. Page 3 [Graphic Appears Here]

The return of an ETN is linked to the performance of an index, less fees and applicable costs. The index may rise or fall depending on market conditions, affecting the value of the investment return. Investors may lose some or all of their investment in the ETN. 2. As an exchange -traded product, an ETN can be bought and sold daily on an exchange during normal US market hours. Investors may be exposed to risk overnight and during other non-trading hours. Additionally, investors may be exposed to risk when the ETN is trading but the market on which the underlying index is based is closed. 3. Investors are exposed to issuer credit risk when investing in any debt security, including ETNs. It is possible that an issuer may not be able to meet its obligations on the ETNs as they become due.

Correlation is the term used to describe the historical statistical relationship between two or more quantities or variables. Perfectly correlated assets have a correlation coefficient of one, while the correlation coefficient is zero when returns on two assets are completely independent. 2. Standard deviation is a measure of variability from the expected value. Annualized Standard Deviation is based on monthly returns for a specified time period, and describes how the annual returns in a given annual period have differed from average annualized returns. Because the Annualized Standard Deviation is based on historical data, it may not predict variability on annualized performance of the ETNs in the future.

Correlations calculated using weekly returns. 1. Correlation is the term used to describe the historical statistical relationship between two or more quantities or variables. Perfectly correlated assets have a correlation coefficient of one, while the correlation coefficient is zero when returns on two assets are completely independent. 2. Volatility is a measure of variability from the expected value. Annualized Volatility is based on monthly returns for a specifie , d time period and describes how the annual returns in a given annual period have differed from average annualized returns. Because the Annualized Volatility is based on historical data, it may not predict variability on annualized performance of the ETNs in the future. Page 34 [Graphic Appears Here]

For each series of ETNs, “enhanced” refers to an initial leverage factor of 2 on the date of the ETN’s issuance and “extended” refers to an initial leverage factor of 3 on the date of the ETN’s issuance. A “long” ETN is linked to a leveraged participation in the performance of the underlying index, whereas a “short” ETN is linked to a leveraged participation in the inverse performance of the underlying index. Because the leveraged exposure to the underlying index does not reset, investors who invest at a time other than inception of the each respective ETN will invest at a different “participation” —or value of the notional exposure per ETN to the performance of the underlying index relative to the value of each ETN—and therefore may have a different leverage ratio than the initial leverage factor. For more information on the participation, see the section entitled “Participation” in the applicable prospectus. 2. The investor fee is calculated on a daily basis in the following manner: The investor fee on the initial valuation . date will equal zero On each subsequent calendar day until maturity or early redemption, the investor fee will be equal to the Yearly Fee times the closing indicative value on the immediately preceding calendar day dividend by 365.

Key Feature of iPath® Leveraged ETNs: Participation [Graphic Appears Here] Participation provides investors with an indication of leverage at a given point in time Participation is the ratio between the notional exposure to the underlying index per ETN and the indicative ETN value. (Participation = Intraday Long (or Short) Index Amount / Intraday Indicative Note Value) For any time period, the returns of the ETN can be approximated as the product of the participation at the beginning of the period times the performance of the underlying index over the period, minus fees and costs Return on Investment = (Participation at Purchase x Index Performance) – Fees/Costs The participation values serves to approximate the variable multiple of returns to the Index Performance that will be reflected in the value of the ETN on any given day. The participation value will be published solely for informational purposes. It is not intended to serve as a basis for determining a price or quotation for the ETNs, or as a basis for an offer or solicitation for the purchase, sale, redemption or termination of the ETNs.

Because the Annualized Volatility is based on historical data, it may not predict variability on annualized performance of the ETNs in the future . 2. Correlation is the term used to describe the historical statistical relationship between two or more quantities or variables. Perfectly correlated assets have a correlation coefficient of one, while the correlation coefficient is zero when returns on two assets are completely independent. Page 68 [Graphic Appears Here]

Disclosure [Graphic Appears Here] Selected Risk Considerations An investment in the iPath ETNs described herein (the “ETNs”) involves risks. Selected risks are summarized here, but we urge you to read the more detailed explanation of risks described under “Risk Factors” in the applicable prospectus supplement and pricing supplement. You May Lose Some or All of Your Principal : The ETNs are exposed to change in the level of the underlying index between the inception date and the applicable valuation date. Additionally, if the level of the underlying index is insufficient to offset the negative effect of the investor fee and other applicable costs, you will lose some or all of your investment at maturity or upon redemption, even if the value of such index has increased or decreased, as the case may be. Because the ETNs are subject to an investor fee and any other applicable costs, the return on the ETNs will always be lower than the total return on a direct investment in the index components. The ETNs are riskier than ordinary unsecured debt securities and have no principal protection. Credit of Barclays Bank PLC: The ETNs are issuer not , , , indirectly , PLC unsecured debt obligations of the Barclays Bank and are either directly or an obligation of or guaranteed by any third party. Any payment to be made on the ETNs, including any payment at maturity or upon redemption, depends on the ability of Barclays Bank PLC to satisfy its obligations as they come due. As a result, the actual and perceived creditworthiness of Barclays Bank PLC will affect the market value, if any, of the ETNs prior to maturity or redemption. In addition, 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 ETNs. A Trading Market for the ETNs May Not Develop : Although the ETNs are listed on NYSE Arca, a trading market for the ETNs may not develop and the liquidity of the ETNs may be limited, as we are not required to maintain any listing of the ETNs. No Interest Payments from the ETNs: You may not receive any interest payments on the ETNs. Restrictions on the Minimum Number of ETNs and Date Restrictions for Redemptions : You must redeem at least 25,000 or 50,000 (depending on the series) ETNs of the same series at one time in order to exercise your right to redeem your ETNs on any redemption date. You may only redeem your ETNs on a redemption date if we receive a notice of redemption from you by certain dates and times as set forth in the pricing supplement. Page 86 [Graphic Appears Here]
