our right to call the notes may also adversely impact your ability to sell your notes in the secondary market. It is more likely that
we will elect to call the notes prior to maturity when the expected amounts payable on the notes are greater than the amount that would
be payable on other instruments issued by us of comparable maturity, terms and credit rating trading in the market. The greater likelihood
of us calling the notes in that environment increases the risk that you will not be able to reinvest the proceeds from the called notes
in an equivalent investment with similar potential returns. To the extent you are able to reinvest such proceeds in an investment comparable
to the notes, you may incur transaction costs such as dealer discounts and hedging costs built into the price of the new securities. We
are less likely to call the notes prior to maturity when the expected amounts payable on the notes are less than the amounts that would
be payable on other comparable instruments issued by us, which includes when a Reference Asset is performing unfavorably to you. Therefore,
the notes are more likely to remain outstanding when the expected amount payable on the notes is less than what would be payable on other

The notes are not linked to a weighted basket, in which the risk may be mitigated and diversified among each of the basket components.
For example, in the case of notes linked to a weighted basket, the return would depend on the weighted aggregate performance of the basket
components reflected as the basket return. As a result, the depreciation of one basket component could be mitigated by the appreciation
of the other basket components, as scaled by the weighting of that basket component. However, in the case of the notes, the individual
performance of each Reference Asset will not be combined, and the depreciation of one Reference Asset will not be mitigated by any appreciation
of any other Reference Assets. Instead, your receipt of Contingent Coupon payments on the notes will depend on the value of each Reference
Asset on each Observation Date, and your return at maturity will depend solely on the Final Level of the Least Performing Reference Asset

Reference Assets, and greater expected volatility generally indicates an increased risk of loss at maturity. </B> &mdash; The economic
terms for the notes, including the Contingent Interest Rate, Coupon Barrier Levels and Trigger Levels, are based, in part, on the expected
volatility of the Reference Assets at the time the terms of the notes are set. &ldquo;Volatility&rdquo; refers to the frequency and magnitude
of changes in the level of a Reference Asset. The greater the expected volatility of the Reference Assets as of the Pricing Date, the
greater the expectation is as of that date that the closing level of a Reference Asset could be less than its Coupon Barrier Level on
any Observation Date and that a Trigger Event could occur and, as a consequence, indicates an increased risk of not receiving a Contingent
Coupon and an increased risk of loss, respectively. All things being equal, this greater expected volatility will generally be reflected
in a higher Contingent Interest Rate than the yield payable on our conventional debt securities with a similar maturity or on otherwise
comparable securities, and/or a lower Trigger Levels and/or Coupon Barrier Levels than those terms on otherwise comparable securities.
Therefore, a relatively higher Contingent Interest Rate may indicate an increased risk of loss. Further, relatively lower Trigger Levels
and/or Coupon Barriers may not necessarily indicate that the notes have a greater likelihood of a return of principal at maturity and/or
paying Contingent Coupons. You should be willing to accept the downside market risk of the Reference Assets and the potential to lose
a significant portion or all of your initial investment.</TD></TR></TABLE>

affected by a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence affecting this sector than a different investment linked to securities
of a more broadly diversified group of issuers. An investment in a real property company may be subject to risks similar to those associated
with direct ownership of real estate, including the possibility of declines in the value of real estate, losses from casualty or condemnation
and changes in local and general economic conditions, supply and demand, interest rates, environmental liability, zoning laws, regulatory
limitations on rents, property taxes and operating expenses. Some real property companies have limited diversification because they invest
in a limited number of properties, a narrow geographic area or a single type of property. Real estate investment trusts (&ldquo;REITs&rdquo;)
are subject to the risks associated with investing in the securities of real property companies. In particular, REITs may be affected
by changes in the values of the underlying properties that they own or operate. Further, REITs are dependent upon specialized management
skills and their investments may be concentrated in relatively few properties or in a small geographic area or a single property type.
REITs are also subject to heavy cash flow dependency and, as a result, are particularly reliant on the proper functioning of capital markets.
A variety of economic and other factors may adversely affect a lessee&rsquo;s ability to meet its obligations to a REIT. In the event
of a default by a lessee, the REIT may experience delays in enforcing its rights as a lessor and may incur substantial costs associated
in protecting its investments. In addition, a REIT could fail to qualify for favorable tax or regulatory treatment. These factors could
affect the real estate sector and could affect the value of the equity securities held by the Real Estate Select Sector SPDR<SUP>&reg;</SUP> Fund

stable financially than large-capitalization companies and may depend on a small number of key personnel, making them more vulnerable
to loss of those individuals. Small capitalization companies tend to have lower revenues, less diverse product lines, smaller shares of
their target markets, fewer financial resources and fewer competitive strengths than large-capitalization companies. These companies may
also be more susceptible to adverse developments related to their products or services.</TD></TR></TABLE>

any underwriting discount and selling concessions, and the hedging profits and estimated hedging costs that are included in the price
to public of the notes and that may be reflected on your account statements. In addition, any such price is also likely to reflect a discount
to account for costs associated with establishing or unwinding any related hedge transaction, such as dealer discounts, mark-ups and other
transaction costs. As a result, the price, if any, at which BMOCM or any other party may be willing to purchase the notes from you in

payments on a note at maturity, assuming that the notes are not subject to an Issuer Call. The hypothetical payments are based on a $1,000
investment in the note, a hypothetical Initial Level of $100.00, a hypothetical Trigger Level of $55.00 (55.00% of the hypothetical Initial
Level), a range of hypothetical Final Levels and the effect on the payment at maturity.</P>

to help you understand the terms of the notes. If the notes are not subject to an Issuer Call, the actual cash amount that you will receive
at maturity will depend upon the Final Level of the Least Performing Reference Asset. If the notes are subject to an Issuer Call prior
to maturity, the hypothetical examples below will not be relevant, and you will receive on the applicable Call Settlement Date, for each
$1,000 principal amount, the principal amount plus any applicable Contingent Coupon.</P>

using modified float-adjusted market cap weighting strategy. The MarketVector Global Gold Miners Index is weighted based on the float-adjusted

in conjunction with the scheduled quarterly adjustments to the MarketVector Global Gold Miners Index and described below as Diversification
Rule 1 and Diversification Rule 2.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 9pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">The MarketVector Global Gold Miners Index is reviewed
quarterly so that the MarketVector Global Gold Miners Index components continue to represent the index&rsquo;s objective of measuring
the performance of highly capitalized companies in the gold and silver mining industries. The MarketVector may at any time and from time
to time change the number of securities comprising the group by adding or deleting one or more securities, or replacing one or more securities
contained in the group with one or more substitute securities of its choice, in the event of certain corporate actions or if, in the MarketVector&rsquo;s
discretion, such addition, deletion or substitution is necessary or appropriate to maintain the quality and/or character of the MarketVector
Global Gold Miners Index. Changes to the MarketVector Global Gold Miners Index compositions and/or the component share weights in the
MarketVector Global Gold Miners Index typically take effect after the close of trading on the third Friday of each calendar quarter month
in connection with the quarterly index rebalance.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 9pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">At the time of the quarterly rebalance, the weights
for the components stocks (taking into account expected component changes and share adjustments), are modified in accordance with the

<P STYLE="font: 9pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">Diversification Rule 1: If any component stock exceeds
20% of the total value of the MarketVector Global Gold Miners Index, then all stocks greater than 20% of the MarketVector Global Gold
Miners Index are reduced to represent 20% of the value of the MarketVector Global Gold Miners Index. The aggregate amount by which all
component stocks are reduced is redistributed proportionately across the remaining stocks that represent less than 20% of the index value.
After this redistribution, if any other stock then exceeds 20%, the stock is set to 20% of the index value and the redistribution is repeated.
If there is no component stock over 20% of the total value of the MarketVector Global Gold Miners Index to start, then this Diversification
Rule 1 is not executed.</P>

than 50% exposure to gold-related activities outlined that exceed 4.5% in weight but at least the largest five and at the maximum the
largest 9 of these components are grouped together ( &ldquo;Large-Weights&rdquo;). All other components are grouped together as well (&ldquo;Small-Weights&rdquo;).
If the aggregated weighting of all components in Large-Weight exceeds 45%, then a capping factor is calculated to bring the weighting
down to 45% - at the same time a second capping factor for the Small-Weights is calculated to increase the aggregated weight to 55%. These
two factors are then applied to all components in the Large-Weights or the Small-Weights respectively. This will be adjusted for through
the following process:</P>

weights used in the calculation of the MarketVector Global Gold Miners Index are determined based upon current shares outstanding modified,
if necessary, to provide greater index diversification, as described above. As a general rule, the index components and their share weights
are determined and announced prior to taking effect according to the timing set forth in the methodology, however emergency actions may
require Solactive to deviate from the normal scheduling. The share weight of each component stock in the index portfolio remains fixed
between quarterly reviews except in the event of certain types of corporate actions. The MarketVector may substitute stocks or change
the number of stocks included in the MarketVector Global Gold Miners Index, based on changing conditions in the industry or in the event
of certain types of corporate actions. If changes are made, the index divisor may be adjusted to ensure that there are no changes to the
index price as a result of non-market forces.</P>

proportionally across the remaining Component Stocks that each represent less than 23% of the total value of the Select Sector Index.

no company breaches the 23% weight cap. Second, if the sum of Component Stocks that each exceed 4.8% of the total value of the Select

market capitalization, and the first Component Stock to cause the 50% limit to be breached will be reduced to 4.5% and the excess amount

Shares are not eligible), then the company is assigned to its country of incorporation. If any of the three factors are not the same,
FTSE Russell defines three Home Country Indicators (&ldquo;HCIs&rdquo;): country of incorporation, country of headquarters, and country
of the most liquid exchange (as defined by a two-year average daily dollar trading volume) (&ldquo;ADDTV&rdquo;) from all exchanges within
a country. Using the HCIs, FTSE Russell compares the primary location of the company&rsquo;s assets with the three HCIs. If the primary
location of its assets matches any of the HCIs, then the company is assigned to the primary location of its assets. If there is insufficient
information to determine the country in which the company&rsquo;s assets are primarily located, FTSE Russell will use the primary location
of the company&rsquo;s revenue for the same cross-comparison and assigns the company to the appropriate country in a similar fashion.
FTSE Russell uses the average of two years of assets or revenues data to reduce potential turnover. If conclusive country details cannot
be derived from assets or revenues data, FTSE Russell will assign the company to the country in which its headquarters are located unless
the country is a Benefit Driven Incorporation &ldquo;BDI&rdquo; country. If the country in which its headquarters are located is a BDI,

the Russell 2000<SUP>&reg;</SUP> Index.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 9pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">All securities eligible for inclusion in the Russell
2000<SUP>&reg;</SUP> Index must trade on a major U.S. exchange. Stocks must have a closing price at or above $1.00 on their primary exchange on the
&ldquo;rank day&rdquo; in May of each year (timetable is announced each spring) to be eligible for inclusion during annual reconstitution.
However, in order to reduce unnecessary turnover, if an existing member&rsquo;s closing price is less than $1.00 on the last day of May,
it will be considered eligible if the average of the daily closing prices (from its primary exchange) during the month of May is equal
to or greater than $1.00. FTSE Russell adds initial public offerings (IPOs) each quarter to ensure that new additions to the institutional
investing opportunity set are reflected in representative indexes. A stock added during the quarterly IPO process is considered a new
index addition, and therefore must have a closing price on its primary exchange at or above $1.00 on the last day of the eligibility period
in order to qualify for index inclusion. If an existing index member does not trade on the rank day, it must price at $1.00 or above on
another eligible U.S. exchange to remain eligible.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 9pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">Royalty trusts, limited liability companies, closed-end
investment companies (companies that are required to report Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses, as defined by the SEC, including business
development companies, are not eligible), blank check companies, special-purpose acquisition companies, exchange traded funds, mutual
funds and limited partnerships are ineligible for inclusion. Preferred and convertible preferred stock, redeemable shares, participating
preferred stock, warrants, rights, installment receipts and trust receipts are not eligible for inclusion in the Russell 2000<SUP>&reg;</SUP> Index.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 9pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">Annual reconstitution is a process by which the
Russell 2000<SUP>&reg;</SUP> Index is completely rebuilt. On the rank day of July, all eligible securities are ranked by their total market capitalization.
The largest 4,000 become the Russell 3000E Index, and the other FTSE Russell indexes are determined from that set of securities. Reconstitution
of the Russell 2000<SUP>&reg;</SUP> Index occurs on the last Friday in June or, when the last Friday in June is the 29th or 30th, reconstitution
occurs on the prior Friday. In addition, FTSE Russell adds initial public offerings to the Russell 2000<SUP>&reg;</SUP> Index on a quarterly basis
based on total market capitalization ranking within the market-adjusted capitalization breaks established during the most recent reconstitution.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 9pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">After membership is determined, a security&rsquo;s
shares are adjusted to include only those shares available to the public. This is often referred to as &ldquo;free float.&rdquo; The purpose
of the adjustment is to exclude from market calculations the capitalization that is not available for purchase and is not part of the
investable opportunity set.</P>
