Market Disruption Events
The following definition will supersede and replace the definition of “Market Disruption Event” set forth on page S-26 of the accompanying product supplement.
A “Market Disruption Event” means one or more of the following events, as determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion:
(1) a material limitation, suspension, or disruption of trading in one or more Reference Asset components which results in a failure by the exchange on which each applicable Reference Asset component is traded to report an exchange published settlement price for such contract on the day on which such event occurs or any succeeding day on which it continues;
(2) the exchange published settlement price for any Reference Asset component is a “limit price,” which means that the exchange published settlement price for such contract for a day has increased or decreased from the previous day’s exchange published settlement price by the maximum amount permitted under applicable exchange rules;
(3) failure by the applicable exchange or other price source to announce or publish the exchange published settlement price for any Reference Asset component;
(4) a suspension of trading in one or more Reference Asset components, for which the trading does not resume at least 10 minutes prior to the scheduled or rescheduled closing time; or
(5) any other event that the Calculation Agent determines due to the imposition of position limits in respect of any futures contract or adoption of or change in any applicable law or other regulatory requirement that materially interferes with our ability or the ability of any of our affiliates, after using commercially reasonable efforts, to unwind or maintain all or a material portion of a hedge that we or our affiliates have effected or may effect in contracts or securities that reference the Reference Asset or any of its constituent components in connection with the Notes.
Role of the Calculation Agent

The S&P GSCI® Index is a production-weighted index, designed as a benchmark for investment in the commodity markets and as a measure of commodity market performance over time.

There is no limit on the number of contracts that may be included in the S&P GSCI® Index. The S&P GSCI® Excess Return Index reflects the returns of the S&P GSCI® Index as well as the discount or premium obtained by “rolling” hypothetical positions in such contracts forward as they approach delivery. For more information about the S&P GSCI® Index, see “The Reference Asset—S&P GSCI® Index” beginning on page S-40 of the accompanying product supplement.
