BNS U.S. Dollar Index Optimizer Principal Protected Notes, Series 1


Variable Return

The Variable Return calculation is the formula used to determine the Variable Return on the Notes at the Maturity Date. The Variable Return per Note is calculated as follows:

Variable Return = Principal Amount x 200% x Average Locked-in Performance

The Average Locked-In Performance will equal the simple average of the Locked-In Performances (which can be positive or negative) for each Calculation Date. The Locked-In Performance, on a particular Calculation Date is the return of the best performing Asset of the Assets remaining in the Portfolio at that Calculation Date, expressed as a percentage of its increase or decrease in value from the Issue Date to the relevant Calculation Date. If a particular Asset has been used to determine the Locked-In Performance for any Calculation Date, than that Asset is removed from the Portfolio and its performance will no longer factor into the calculation of Variable Return for any subsequent Calculation Date.
