The bank will price six series that give long exposure:

• iPath Long Extended S&P 500 Total Return index ETNs (Cusip 06740P601);

• iPath Long Extended Russell 1000 Total Return index ETNs (Cusip 06740P205);

These notes are expected to be listed on the NYSE Arca under the symbols "SFLA," "ROLA," "RTLA," "MFLA," "EMLA" and "VZZ," respectively.

The principal amount will be $50 for the notes linked to the S&P and Russell indexes, $100 for the notes linked to the MSCI indexes and $30 for the VIX notes.

For the short notes, the payout at maturity or upon redemption will be based on a leveraged participation in the inverse performance of the underlying index, less a daily investor fee, less a daily index borrow cost and plus daily interest.

For the long notes, the payout at maturity or upon redemption will be based on a leveraged participation in the performance of the underlying index, less a daily investor fee, less a daily index borrow cost and plus daily interest.

For the VIX notes, the payout at maturity or upon redemption will be based on a leveraged participation in the performance of the index, less a daily financing charge and less a daily investor fee.

The leverage factor is three for the notes linked to the S&P and Russell indexes and two for the notes linked to the MSCI indexes and the VIX notes.

The investor fee rate is 0.35% for the S&P ETNs, 0.5% for the Russell ETNs, 0.8% for the MSCI ETNs and 0.89% for the VIX notes. The borrow rate is 0.5% for the S&P ETNs, 1% for the Russell 1000 ETNs, 1.75% for the Russell 2000 and MSCI EAFE ETNs and 2.5% for the MSCI Emerging Markets ETNs.

The notes are putable at any time, subject to a minimum of 25,000 notes, and they will be called if the intraday indicative value of the notes falls too low. The call level is $10.00 for the S&P, Russell 1000 and VIX ETNs, $15.00 for the Russell 2000 ETNs, $37.50 for the short MSCI EAFE ETNS, $45.00 for the short MSCI Emerging Markets ETNs and $25.00 for the long MSCI EAFE and MSCI Emerging Markets ETNs.
