Key Terms of Each of the Notes:
 
General:
This pricing supplement relates to three separate offerings of notes.  Each offering is a separate offering of notes linked to one, and only one, Underlying Asset.  If you wish to participate in more than one of the offerings, you must separately purchase the applicable notes.  The notes offered by this pricing supplement do not represent notes linked to a basket of the Underlying Assets.
   
Payment at Maturity:
If the Percentage Change is positive, then the amount that the investors will receive at maturity for each $1,000 in principal amount of the notes will be calculated as follows:
 
Principal Amount + (Principal Amount x applicable Digital Return)
   
 
If the Percentage Change is between 0% and -10% inclusive, then the amount that the investors will receive at maturity will equal the principal amount of the notes.
   
 
If the Percentage Change is less than -10%, then the payment at maturity will equal:
   
 
Principal Amount + [Principal Amount × (Percentage Change + Buffer Percentage)]
   
Initial Level:
The closing price of one share of the applicable Underlying Asset on the Pricing Date.
   
Final Level:
The closing price of one share of the applicable Underlying Asset on the  Valuation Date.
   
Buffer Level:
90% of the Initial Level.
   
Buffer Percentage:
10%.  Accordingly, you will receive the principal amount of your notes at maturity only if the price of the applicable Underlying Asset does not decrease by more than 10%.  If the Final Level is less than the Buffer Level, you will receive less than the principal amount of your notes at maturity, and you could lose up to 90% of the principal amount of your notes.
   
Percentage Change:
Final Level – Initial Level, expressed as a percentage.

Selected Risk Considerations
 
An investment in the notes involves significant risks.  Investing in the notes is not equivalent to investing directly in any of the Underlying Assets.  These risks are explained in more detail in the “Additional Risk Factors Relating to the Notes” section of the product supplement.
 
 
·
Your investment in the notes may result in a loss. — You may lose some or substantially all of your investment in the notes. The minimum percentage of your principal that you are entitled to receive under the terms of the notes is only 10%. The payment at maturity will be based on the Final Level, and whether the Final Level of the applicable Underlying Asset on the Valuation Date is less than the Buffer Level. Accordingly, you could lose up to 90% of the principal amount of your notes.
 
 
·
Your return on the notes is limited to the Digital Return, regardless of any appreciation in the share price of the applicable Underlying Asset. — The return on your notes will not be greater than the Digital Return. This will be the case even if the Percentage Change exceeds the applicable Digital Return.
 
 
·
Your investment is subject to the credit risk of Bank of Montreal. — Our credit ratings and credit spreads may adversely affect the market value of the notes. Investors are dependent on our ability to pay the amount due at maturity, and therefore investors are subject to our credit risk and to changes in the market’s view of our creditworthiness. Any decline in our credit ratings or increase in the credit spreads charged by the market for taking our credit risk is likely to adversely affect the value of the notes.
 
 
·
Potential conflicts. — We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance of the notes, including acting as calculation agent. In performing these duties, the economic interests of the calculation agent and other affiliates of ours are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the notes. We or one or more of our affiliates may also engage in trading of shares of the Underlying Asset or securities included in the applicable underlying index on a regular basis as part of our general broker-dealer and other businesses, for proprietary accounts, for other accounts under management or to facilitate transactions for our customers. Any of these activities could adversely affect the prices of the Underlying Assets and, therefore, the market value of the notes. We or one or more of our affiliates may also issue or underwrite other securities or financial or derivative instruments with returns linked or related to changes in the performance of the Underlying Assets. By introducing competing products into the marketplace in this manner, we or one or more of our affiliates could adversely affect the market value of the notes.
 
 
·
The inclusion of the agent’s commission and hedging profits, if any, in the initial price to public of the notes, as well as our hedging costs, is likely to adversely affect the price at which you can sell your notes. — Assuming no change in market conditions or any other relevant factors, the price, if any, at which BMOCM or any other party may be willing to purchase the notes in secondary market transactions may be lower than the initial  price to public. The initial price to public will include, and any price quoted to you is likely to exclude, the agent’s commission paid in connection with the initial distribution. The initial price to public  is also expected to include, and any price quoted to you would be likely to exclude, the hedging profits that we expect to earn with respect to hedging our exposure under the notes. 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.
 
 
·
Owning the notes is not the same as owning the applicable Underlying Asset or a security directly linked to the applicable Underlying Asset. — The return on your notes will not reflect the return you would realize if you actually owned the applicable Underlying Asset or a security directly linked to the performance of the applicable Underlying Asset and held that investment for a similar period.  Your notes may trade quite differently from the applicable Underlying Asset.  Changes in the price of the applicable Underlying Asset may not result in comparable changes in the market value of your notes.  Even if the price of the applicable Underlying Asset increases during the term of the notes, the market value of the notes prior to maturity may not increase to the same extent.  It is also possible for the market value of the notes to decrease while the price of the applicable Underlying Asset increases. In addition, any dividends or other distributions paid on the applicable Underlying Asset will not be reflected in the amount payable on the notes.
 
 
·
You will not have any shareholder rights and will have no right to receive any shares of the applicable Underlying Asset at maturity. Investing in your notes will not make you a holder of any shares of the applicable Underlying Asset, or any securities held by the applicable Underlying Asset. Neither you nor any other holder or owner of the notes will have any voting rights, any right to receive dividends or other distributions, or any other rights with respect to the applicable Underlying Asset or such other securities.
 
 
P-5

 
 
 
·
Changes that affect the applicable index underlying the applicable Underlying Asset will affect the market value of the notes and the amount you will receive at maturity. — The policies of the sponsors (each, an “Index Sponsor”) of the Russell 2000® Index, the MSCI EAFE Index, and the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM  (each, an underlying index of the applicable Underlying Asset), concerning the calculation of the applicable underlying index, additions, deletions or substitutions of the components of the applicable underlying index and the manner in which changes affecting those components, such as stock dividends, reorganizations or mergers, may be reflected in the applicable underlying index and, therefore, could affect the share price of the applicable Underlying Asset, the amount payable on the notes at maturity, and the market value of the notes prior to maturity. The amount payable on the notes and their market value could also be affected if the applicable Index Sponsor changes these policies, for example, by changing the manner in which it calculates the applicable underlying index, or if the applicable Index Sponsor discontinues or suspends the calculation or publication of the applicable underlying index.
 
 
·
Adjustments to the applicable Underlying Asset could adversely affect the notes. — BlackRock, Inc. (collectively with its affiliates “BlackRock”), as the sponsor and advisor of the iShares® Russell 2000 Index Fund and iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund, and PDR Services LLC (“PDR”), as sponsor and advisor of the SPDR® Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF Trust, are each responsible for calculating and maintaining the applicable Underlying Asset. BlackRock or PDR, as applicable, can add, delete or substitute the stocks comprising the applicable Underlying Assets or may make other methodological changes that could change the share price of the applicable Underlying Asset at any time. If one or more of these events occurs, the calculation of the amount payable at maturity may be adjusted to reflect such event or events. Consequently, any of these actions could adversely affect the amount payable at maturity and/or the market value of the notes.
 
 
·
We have no affiliation with any Index Sponsor and will not be responsible for any actions taken by any Index Sponsor. — None of the Index Sponsors is an affiliate of ours or will be involved in any offerings of the notes in any way. Consequently, we have no control over the actions of any Index Sponsor, including any actions of the type that would require the calculation agent to adjust the payment to you at maturity. The Index Sponsors have no obligation of any sort with respect to the notes. Thus, the Index Sponsors have no obligation to take your interests into consideration for any reason, including in taking any actions that might affect the value of the notes. None of our proceeds from any issuance of the notes will be delivered to any Index Sponsor.
 
 
·
We and our affiliates do not have any affiliation with the investment advisors of the Underlying Assets and are not responsible for their public disclosure of information. — The investment advisors of the applicable Underlying Asset advise the applicable Underlying Asset on various matters including matters relating to the policies, maintenance and calculation of the applicable Underlying Asset. We and our affiliates are not affiliated with the investment advisors in any way and have no ability to control or predict their actions, including any errors in or discontinuance of disclosure regarding their methods or policies relating to the applicable Underlying Asset. The investment advisors are not involved in the offerings of the notes in any way and have no obligation to consider your interests as an owner of the notes in taking any actions relating to the applicable Underlying Asset that might affect the value of the notes.  Neither we nor any of our affiliates has independently verified the adequacy or accuracy of the information about the investment advisors or the applicable Underlying Asset contained in any public disclosure of information.  You, as an investor in the notes, should make your own investigation into the applicable Underlying Asset.
 
 
·
The correlation between the performance of the applicable Underlying Asset and the performance of the applicable underlying index may be imperfect. The performance of the applicable Underlying Asset is linked principally to the performance of the applicable underlying index. However, because of the potential discrepancies identified in more detail in the product supplement, the return on the applicable Underlying Asset may correlate imperfectly with the return on the applicable underlying index.
 
 
·
The Underlying Assets are subject to management risks. — The Underlying Assets are subject to management risk, which is the risk that the investment advisor’s investment strategy, the implementation of which is subject to a number of constraints, may not produce the intended results. For example, the investment advisor may invest a portion of the applicable Underlying Asset’s assets in securities not included in the relevant industry or sector but which the investment advisor believes will help the applicable Underlying Asset track the relevant industry or sector.
 
 
·
Lack of liquidity. — The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. BMOCM may offer to purchase the notes in the secondary market, but is not required to do so. Even if there is a secondary market, it may not provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade or sell the notes easily. Because other dealers are not likely to make a secondary market for the notes, the price at which you may be able to trade your notes is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which BMOCM is willing to buy the notes.
 
 
P-6

 
 
 
·
Hedging and trading activities. — We or any of our affiliates may carry out hedging activities related to the notes, including purchasing or selling securities included in the applicable Underlying Asset, or futures or options relating to the applicable Underlying Asset, or other derivative instruments with returns linked or related to changes in the performance of the applicable Underlying Asset. We or our affiliates may also engage in trading relating to the applicable Underlying Asset from time to time. Any of these hedging or trading activities on or prior to the Pricing Date and during the term of the notes could adversely affect our payment to you at maturity.
 
 
·
Many economic and market factors will influence the value of the notes. — In addition to the price of the applicable Underlying Asset and interest rates on any trading day, the value of the notes will be affected by a number of economic and market factors that may either offset or magnify each other, and which are described in more detail in the product supplement.
 
 
·
You must rely on your own evaluation of the merits of an investment linked to the applicable Underlying Asset.  —   In the ordinary course of their businesses, our affiliates from time to time may express views on expected movements in the price of the Underlying Assets or the securities held by the Underlying Assets.  One or more of our affiliates have published, and in the future may publish, research reports that express views on Underlying Assets or these securities.  However, these views are subject to change from time to time.  Moreover, other professionals who deal in the markets relating to Underlying Assets at any time may have significantly different views from those of our affiliates.  You are encouraged to derive information concerning the Underlying Assets from multiple sources, and you should not rely on the views expressed by our affiliates.
 
 
Neither the offering of the notes nor any views which our affiliates from time to time may express in the ordinary course of their businesses constitutes a recommendation as to the merits of an investment in the notes.
 
 
·
Significant aspects of the tax treatment of the notes are uncertain.  The tax treatment of the notes is uncertain.  We do not plan to request a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service or from any Canadian authorities regarding the tax treatment of the notes, and the Internal Revenue Service or a court may not agree with the tax treatment described in this pricing supplement.
 
 
The Internal Revenue Service has issued a notice indicating that it and the Treasury Department are actively considering whether, among other issues, a holder should be required to accrue interest over the term of an instrument such as the notes even though that holder will not receive any payments with respect to the notes until maturity and whether all or part of the gain a holder may recognize upon sale or maturity of an instrument such as the notes could be treated as ordinary income.  The outcome of this process is uncertain and could apply on a retroactive basis.
 
 
Please read carefully the section entitled “U.S. Federal Tax Information” in this pricing supplement, the section “United States Federal Income Taxation” in the accompanying prospectus and the section entitled “Certain Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying prospectus supplement.  You should consult your tax advisor about your own tax situation.
 
Additional Risks Relating to the iShares® Russell 2000 Index Fund
 
 
·
An investment in the securities is subject to risks associated in investing in stocks with a small market capitalization — The Russell 2000® Index consists of stocks issued by companies with relatively small market capitalizations.  These companies often have greater stock price volatility, lower trading volume and less liquidity than large-capitalization companies.  As a result, the share price of this Underlying Asset may be more volatile than that of a market measure that does not track solely small-capitalization stocks.  Stock prices of small-capitalization companies are also generally more vulnerable than those of large-capitalization companies to adverse business and economic developments, and the stocks of small-capitalization companies may be thinly traded, and be less attractive to many investors if they do not pay dividends.  In addition, small capitalization companies are typically less well-established and less 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.
 
Additional Risks Relating to the iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund
 
 
·
An investment in the notes is subject to risks associated with foreign securities markets. — The MSCI EAFE Index tracks the value of certain foreign equity securities.  You should be aware that investments in securities linked to the value of foreign equity securities involve particular risks.  The foreign securities markets comprising the MSCI EAFE Index may have less liquidity and may be more volatile than U.S. or other securities markets and market developments may affect foreign markets differently from U.S. or other securities markets.  Direct or indirect government intervention to stabilize these foreign securities markets, as well as cross-shareholdings in foreign companies, may affect trading prices and volumes in these markets.  Also, there is generally less publicly available information about foreign companies than about those U.S. companies that are subject to the reporting requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and foreign companies are subject to accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and requirements that differ from those applicable to U.S. reporting companies.
 
 
P-7

 
 
Prices of securities in foreign countries are subject to political, economic, financial and social factors that apply in those geographical regions.  These factors, which could negatively affect those securities markets, include the possibility of recent or future changes in a foreign government’s economic and fiscal policies, the possible imposition of, or changes in, currency exchange laws or other laws or restrictions applicable to foreign companies or investments in foreign equity securities and the possibility of fluctuations in the rate of exchange between currencies, the possibility of outbreaks of hostility and political instability and the possibility of natural disaster or adverse public health developments in the region.  Moreover, foreign economies may differ favorably or unfavorably from the U.S. economy in important respects such as growth of gross national product, rate of inflation, capital reinvestment, resources and self-sufficiency.
 
 
·
An investment in the notes is subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk. — The share price of this Underlying Asset will fluctuate based upon its net asset value, which will in turn depend in part upon changes in the value of the currencies in which the stocks held by this Underlying Asset are traded.  Accordingly, investors in the notes will be exposed to currency exchange rate risk with respect to each of the currencies in which the stocks held by this Underlying Asset are traded.  An investor’s net exposure will depend on the extent to which these currencies strengthen or weaken against the U.S. dollar.  If, the dollar strengthens against these currencies, the net asset value of the Underlying Asset will be adversely affected and the price of the Underlying Asset may decrease.

Hypothetical Return on the Notes at Maturity
 
The following table and examples illustrate the hypothetical return at maturity on a $1,000 investment in the notes. The “return,” as used in this section is the number, expressed as a percentage, which results from comparing the payment at maturity per $1,000 in principal amount of the notes to $1,000. The hypothetical total returns set forth below are based on a hypothetical Initial Level of $100.00, a Buffer Percentage of 10% (the Buffer Level is 90% of the Initial Level), and a hypothetical Digital Return of 15.00%. The hypothetical returns set forth below are for illustrative purposes only and may not be the actual returns applicable to investors in the notes. The numbers appearing in the following table and in the examples below have been rounded for ease of analysis.

Hypothetical Examples of Amounts Payable at Maturity
 
The following examples illustrate how the returns set forth in the table above are calculated.
 
Example 1: The price of the applicable Underlying Asset decreases from the hypothetical Initial Level of $100.00 to a hypothetical Final Level of $70.00, representing a Percentage Change of -30%.  Because the Percentage Change is negative and the Final Level of $70.00 is less than the Initial Level by more than the Buffer Percentage of 10%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $800 per $1,000 in principal amount of the notes, calculated as follows:
 
$1,000 + [$1,000 x (-30% + 10%)] = $800
 
Example 2: The price of the applicable Underlying Asset decreases from the hypothetical Initial Level of $100.00 to a hypothetical Final Level of $95.00, representing a Percentage Change of -5%.  Although the Percentage Change is negative, because the Final Level of $95.00 is less than the Initial Level by not more than the Buffer Percentage of 10%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,000 per $1,000 in principal amount of the notes.
 
Example 3: The price of the applicable Underlying Asset increases from the hypothetical Initial Level of $100.00 to a hypothetical Final Level of $110.00, representing a Percentage Change of 10%.  Because the Final Level of $110.00 is greater than the Initial Level and the Percentage Change of 10% is positive, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,150.00 per $1,000 in principal amount of the notes, representing a positive return equal to the hypothetical Digital Return.
 
Example 4: The price of the Underlying Asset increases from the hypothetical Initial Level of $100.00 to a hypothetical Final Level of $150.00, representing a Percentage Change of 50%.  Because the Final Level of $150.00 is greater than the Initial Level and the Percentage Change of 50% is positive, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,150.00 per $1,000 in principal amount of the notes, representing a positive return equal to the hypothetical Digital Return.

U.S. Federal Tax Information
 
By purchasing the notes, each holder agrees (in the absence of a change in law, an administrative determination or a judicial ruling to the contrary) to treat each note as a pre-paid cash-settled derivative contract for U.S. federal income tax purposes.  However, the U.S. federal income tax consequences of your investment in the notes are uncertain and the Internal Revenue Service could assert that the notes should be taxed in a manner that is different from that described in the preceding sentence.  Please see the discussion (including the opinion of our counsel Morrison & Foerster LLP) in the product supplement under “Supplemental Tax Considerations—Supplemental U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations,” which applies to the notes.
 
A “dividend equivalent” payment is treated as a dividend from sources within the U.S. and such payments generally would be subject to a 30% U.S. withholding tax if paid to a non-United States holder (as defined in the product supplement).  Under recently proposed U.S. Treasury Department regulations, certain payments that are contingent upon or determined by reference to U.S. source dividends, including payments reflecting adjustments for extraordinary dividends, with respect to equity-linked instruments, including the notes, may be treated as dividend equivalents.  If enacted in their current form, the regulations will impose a withholding tax on payments made on the notes on or after January 1, 2014 that are treated as dividend equivalents.  In that case, we (or the applicable paying agent) would be entitled to withhold taxes without being required to pay any additional amounts with respect to amounts so withheld.  Further, non-United States holders may be required to provide certifications prior to, or upon the sale, redemption or maturity of the notes in order to minimize or avoid U.S. withholding taxes.
 
The Treasury Department has issued final regulations affecting the legislation enacted on March 18, 2010 and discussed in the product supplement under “Supplemental Tax Considerations—Supplemental U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations—Legislation Affecting Taxation of Notes Held By or Through Foreign Entities.”  Pursuant to the final regulations, withholding requirements with respect to the notes will generally begin no earlier than January 1, 2014. Additionally, the withholding tax will not be imposed on payments pursuant to obligations outstanding on January 1, 2014.  Account holders subject to information reporting requirements pursuant to the legislation may include holders of the notes. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the implications of this legislation and subsequent guidance on their investment in the notes.

Russell 2000® Index
 
We have derived all information contained in this pricing supplement regarding the Russell 2000® Index, including, without limitation, its make-up, method of calculation and changes in its components, from publicly available information. The information reflects the policies of, and is subject to change by, Russell. Russell, which owns the copyright and all other rights to the Russell 2000® Index, has no obligation to continue to publish, and may discontinue publication of, the Russell 2000® Index. None of us, the calculation agent, or any selling agent accepts any responsibility for the calculation, maintenance, or publication of the Russell 2000® Index or any successor index.
 
Russell began dissemination of the Russell 2000® Index on January 1, 1984 and calculates and publishes the Russell 2000® Index. The Russell 2000® Index was set to 135 as of the close of business on December 31, 1986. The Russell 2000® Index is designed to track the performance of the small capitalization segment of the U.S. equity market. As a subset of the Russell 3000® Index, the Russell 2000® Index consists of the smallest 2,000 companies included in the Russell 3000® Index. The Russell 3000® Index measures the performance of the largest 3,000 U.S. companies, representing approximately 98% of the investable U.S. equity market. The Russell 2000® Index is determined, comprised, and calculated by Russell without regard to the notes.

Selection of Stocks Comprising the Russell 2000® Index
 
All companies eligible for inclusion in the Russell 2000® Index must be classified as a U.S. company under Russell’s country-assignment methodology. If a company is incorporated, has a stated headquarters location, and trades in the same country (American Depositary Receipts and American Depositary Shares are not eligible), then the company is assigned to its country of incorporation. If any of the three factors are not the same, Russell defines three Home Country Indicators (“HCIs”): country of incorporation, country of headquarters, and country of the most liquid exchange (as defined by a two-year average daily dollar trading volume) (“ADDTV”). Using the HCIs, Russell compares the primary location of the company’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’s assets are primarily located, Russell will use the primary country from which the company’s revenues are primarily derived for the comparison with the three HCIs in a similar manner. 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, Russell will assign the company to the country of its headquarters, which is defined as the address of the company’s principal executive offices, unless that country is a Benefit Driven Incorporation “BDI” country, in which case the company will be assigned to the country of its most liquid stock exchange.  BDI countries include: Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Bermuda, Bonaire, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Channel Islands, Cook Islands, Curacao, Faroe Islands, Gibraltar, Isle of Man, Liberia, Marshall Islands, Panama, Saba, Sint Eustatius, Sint Maarten and Turks and Caicos Islands. For any companies incorporated or headquartered in a U.S. territory, including countries such as Puerto Rico, Guam, and U.S. Virgin Islands, a U.S. HCI is assigned.
 
All securities eligible for inclusion in the Russell 2000® Index must trade on a major U.S. exchange. Bulletin board, pink-sheets, and over-the-counter (“OTC”) traded securities are not eligible for inclusion. Stocks must trade at or above $1.00 on their primary exchange on the last trading day in May to be eligible for inclusion during annual reconstitution. However, in order to reduce unnecessary turnover, if an existing member’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. Initial public offerings must have a closing price at or above $1.00 on the last day of their eligibility period in order to qualify for index inclusion. If a stock, new or existing, does not have a closing price at or above $1.00 (on its primary exchange) on the last trading day in May, but does have a closing price at or above $1.00 on another major U.S. exchange, that stock will be eligible for inclusion. Companies with a total market capitalization of less than $30 million are not eligible for the Russell 2000® Index. Similarly, companies with only 5% or less of their shares available in the marketplace are not eligible for the Russell 2000® Index.
 
Royalty trusts, limited liability companies, closed-end investment companies (business development companies are eligible), blank check companies, special-purpose acquisition companies, and limited partnerships are ineligible for inclusion. Preferred and convertible preferred stock, redeemable shares, participating preferred stock, warrants, rights, and trust receipts are not eligible for inclusion in the Russell 2000®Index.
 
Annual reconstitution is a process by which the Russell 2000® Index is completely rebuilt. On the last trading day of May, all eligible securities are ranked by their total market capitalization. The largest 4,000 become the Russell 3000E Index, and the other Russell indexes are determined from that set of securities. Reconstitution of the Russell 2000® Index occurs on the last Friday in June or, when the last Friday in June is the 28th, 29th, or 30th, reconstitution occurs on the prior Friday. In addition, Russell adds initial public offerings to the Russell 2000® Index on a quarterly basis based on market capitalization guidelines established during the most recent reconstitution.
 
After membership is determined, a security’s shares are adjusted to include only those shares available to the public. This is often referred to as “free float.” 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.

The MSCI EAFE Index
 
We have derived all information contained in this pricing supplement regarding the MSCI EAFE Index, including, without limitation, its make-up, method of calculation and changes in its components, from publicly available information, including Bloomberg Financial Markets.  The information reflects the policies of, and is subject to change by MSCI. MSCI has no obligation to continue to publish, and may discontinue publication of, the MSCI EAFE Index.
 
The MSCI EAFE Index is intended to measure equity market performance in developed market countries, excluding the U.S. and Canada.  The MSCI EAFE Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization equity index with a base date of December 31, 1969 and an initial value of 100.  The MSCI EAFE Index is calculated daily in U.S. dollars and published in real time every 60 seconds during market trading hours.  The MSCI EAFE Index currently consists of the following 22 developed market country indices: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.
 
The MSCI EAFE Index is part of the MSCI Regional Equity Indices series and is an MSCI Global Investable Market Index, which is a family within the MSCI International Equity Indices.
 
General - MSCI Global Investable Market Indices
 
MSCI provides global equity indices intended to measure equity performance in international markets and the MSCI International Equity Indices are designed to serve as global equity performance benchmarks. In constructing these indices, MSCI applies its index construction and maintenance methodology across developed, emerging, and frontier markets.
 
MSCI enhanced the methodology used in its MSCI International Equity Indices. The MSCI Standard and MSCI Small Cap Indices, along with the other MSCI equity indices based on them, transitioned to the global investable market indices methodology described below. The transition was completed at the end of May 2008. The Enhanced MSCI Standard Indices are composed of the MSCI Large Cap and Mid Cap Indices. The MSCI Global Small Cap Index transitioned to the MSCI Small Cap Index resulting from the Global Investable Market Indices methodology and contains no overlap with constituents of the transitioned MSCI Standard Indices. Together, the relevant MSCI Large Cap, Mid Cap, and Small Cap Indices will make up the MSCI investable market index for each country, composite, sector, and style index that MSCI offers.
 
Constructing the MSCI Global Investable Market Indices. MSCI undertakes an index construction process, which involves:
 
 
·
defining the equity universe;
 
 
·
determining the market investable equity universe for each market;
 
 
·
determining market capitalization size segments for each market;
 
 
·
applying index continuity rules for the MSCI Standard Index;
 
 
·
creating style segments within each size segment within each market; and
 
 
·
classifying securities under the Global Industry Classification Standard (the “GICS”).
 
Defining the Equity Universe. The equity universe is defined by:
 
 
·
Identifying Eligible Equity Securities: the equity universe initially looks at securities listed in any of the countries in the MSCI Global Index Series, which will be classified as either Developed Markets (“DM”) or Emerging Markets (“EM”). All listed equity securities, or listed securities that exhibit characteristics of equity securities, except mutual funds, exchange traded funds, equity derivatives, limited partnerships, and most investment trusts, are eligible for inclusion in the equity universe. Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) in some countries and certain income trusts in Canada are also eligible for inclusion.
 
 
·
Classifying Eligible Securities into the Appropriate Country: each company and its securities (i.e., share classes) are classified in only one country.
 
Determining the Market Investable Equity Universes. A market investable equity universe for a market is derived by applying investability screens to individual companies and securities in the equity universe that are classified in that market. A market is equivalent to a single country, except in DM Europe, where all DM countries in Europe are aggregated into a single market for index construction purposes. Subsequently, individual DM Europe country indices within the MSCI Europe Index are derived from the constituents of the MSCI Europe Index under the global investable market indices methodology.
 
The investability screens used to determine the investable equity universe in each market are as follows:
 
 
·
Equity Universe Minimum Size Requirement: this investability screen is applied at the company level. In order to be included in a market investable equity universe, a company must have the required minimum full market capitalization.
 
 
P-13

 
 
 
·
Equity Universe Minimum Free Float−Adjusted Market Capitalization Requirement: this investability screen is applied at the individual security level. To be eligible for inclusion in a market investable equity universe, a security must have a free float−adjusted market capitalization equal to or higher than 50% of the equity universe minimum size requirement.
 
 
·
DM Minimum Liquidity Requirement: this investability screen is applied at the individual security level. To be eligible for inclusion in a market investable equity universe, a security must have adequate liquidity. The twelve-month and three-month Annual Traded Value Ratio (“ATVR”), a measure that screens out extreme daily trading volumes and takes into account the free float−adjusted market capitalization size of securities, together with the three-month frequency of trading are used to measure liquidity. In the calculation of the ATVR, the trading volumes in depository receipts associated with that security, such as ADRs or GDRs, are also considered. A minimum liquidity level of 20% of three- and twelve-month ATVR and 90% of three-month frequency of trading over the last four consecutive quarters are required for inclusion of a security in a market investable equity universe of a DM.
 
 
·
Global Minimum Foreign Inclusion Factor Requirement: this investability screen is applied at the individual security level. To be eligible for inclusion in a market investable equity universe, a security’s Foreign Inclusion Factor (“FIF”) must reach a certain threshold. The FIF of a security is defined as the proportion of shares outstanding that is available for purchase in the public equity markets by international investors. This proportion accounts for the available free float of and/or the foreign ownership limits applicable to a specific security (or company). In general, a security must have an FIF equal to or larger than 0.15 to be eligible for inclusion in a market investable equity universe.
 
 
·
Minimum Length of Trading Requirement: this investability screen is applied at the individual security level. For an initial public offering (“IPO”) to be eligible for inclusion in a market investable equity universe, the new issue must have started trading at least four months before the implementation of the initial construction of the index or at least three months before the implementation of a semi−annual index review (as described below). This requirement is applicable to small new issues in all markets. Large IPOs are not subject to the minimum length of trading requirement and may be included in a market investable equity universe and the Standard Index outside of a Quarterly or Semi−Annual Index Review.
 
Defining Market Capitalization Size Segments for Each Market. Once a market investable equity universe is defined, it is segmented into the following size−based indices:
 
 
·
Investable Market Index (Large + Mid + Small);
 
 
·
Standard Index (Large + Mid);
 
 
·
Large Cap Index;
 
 
·
Mid Cap Index; or
 
 
·
Small Cap Index.
 
Creating the size segment indices in each market involves the following steps:
 
 
·
defining the market coverage target range for each size segment;
 
 
·
determining the global minimum size range for each size segment;
 
 
·
determining the market size−segment cutoffs and associated segment number of companies;
 
 
·
assigning companies to the size segments; and
 
 
·
applying final size−segment investability requirements.
 
Index Continuity Rules for the Standard Indices. In order to achieve index continuity, as well as to provide some basic level of diversification within a market index, and notwithstanding the effect of other index construction rules described in this section, a minimum number of five constituents will be maintained for a DM Standard Index.
 
Creating Style Indices within Each Size Segment. All securities in the investable equity universe are classified into value or growth segments using the MSCI Global Value and Growth methodology.
 
Classifying Securities under the Global Industry Classification Standard. All securities in the global investable equity universe are assigned to the industry that best describes their business activities. To this end, MSCI has designed, in conjunction with Standard & Poor’s, the GICS. Under the GICS, each company is assigned to one sub−industry according to its principal business activity. Therefore, a company can belong to only one industry grouping at each of the four levels of the GICS.
 
 
P-14

 
 
Index Maintenance
 
The MSCI Global Investable Market Indices are maintained with the objective of reflecting the evolution of the underlying equity markets and segments on a timely basis, while seeking to achieve index continuity, continuous investability of constituents and replicability of the indices, and index stability and low index turnover. In particular, index maintenance involves:
 
(i)
Semi−Annual Index Reviews (“SAIRs”) in May and November of the Size Segment and Global Value and Growth Indices which include:
 
 
·
updating the indices on the basis of a fully refreshed equity universe;
 
 
·
taking buffer rules into consideration for migration of securities across size and style segments; and
 
 
·
updating FIFs and Number of Shares (“NOS”).
 
(ii)
Quarterly Index Reviews in February and August of the Size Segment Indices aimed at:
 
 
·
including significant new eligible securities (such as IPOs that were not eligible for earlier inclusion) in the index;
 
 
·
allowing for significant moves of companies within the Size Segment Indices, using wider buffers than in the SAIR; and
 
 
·
reflecting the impact of significant market events on FIFs and updating NOS.
 
(iii)
Ongoing Event−Related Changes: changes of this type are generally implemented in the indices as they occur. Significantly large IPOs are included in the indices after the close of the company’s tenth day of trading.
 
 
Through this maintenance process, MSCI may make structural changes to the indices by adding or deleting component country indices. Consequently, the composition of the MSCI EAFE Index may change over the term of the notes.
 
Neither we nor any of our affiliates, including BMOCM, accepts any responsibility for the calculation, maintenance, or publication of, or for any error, omission, or disruption in the MSCI EAFE Index, or any successor to the index. MSCI does not guarantee the accuracy or the completeness of the MSCI EAFE Index, or any data included in the index. MSCI assumes no liability for any errors, omissions, or disruption in the calculation and dissemination of the MSCI EAFE Index. MSCI disclaims all responsibility for any errors or omissions in the calculation and dissemination of the MSCI EAFE Index, or the manner in which the index is applied in determining the amount payable on the notes at maturity.
 
SPDR® Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF Trust
 
The Underlying Asset seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM. To maintain the correspondence between the composition and weightings of stocks held by the SPDR® Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF Trust, and the component stocks of the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM, the Underlying Asset adjusts its holdings from time to time to conform to periodic changes in the identity and/or relative weightings of the index securities.
 
The Underlying Asset utilizes a “passive” or “indexing” investment approach in attempting to track the performance of the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM and will invest in all of the securities which comprise the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM.
 
The Underlying Asset trades on the NYSE Arca, Inc. under the symbol “DIA”.
 
The Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM
 
We have derived all information contained in this pricing supplement regarding the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM, including, without limitation, its make-up, method of calculation and changes in its components, from publicly available information. The information reflects the policies of, and is subject to change by, S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC (“SPDJI”). SPDJI, which owns the copyright and all other rights to the index, has no obligation to continue to publish, and may discontinue publication of, the index. None of us, the calculation agent, or any selling agent accepts any responsibility for the calculation, maintenance, or publication of the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM or any successor index.
 
The Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM is widely used as an indicator of the pattern of the price movement of U.S. equities.  The calculation of the level of the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM, is a price-weighted average of the stocks of 30 blue-chip companies that are generally the leaders in their industry.
 
 
P-15

 
 
The composition of the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM is not limited to traditionally defined industrial stocks.  Instead, the companies are chosen from sectors of the economy most representative of the country’s economic health.  The Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM serves as a measure of the entire U.S. market, covering such diverse industries as financial services, technology, consumer services, health care and consumer goods.  SPDJI maintains and reviews the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM and from time to time, in its sole discretion, may add companies to, or delete companies from, the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM to achieve the objectives stated above.  Composition changes are rare, however, and generally occur only after events such as corporate acquisitions or other dramatic shifts in a component’s core business.  When such an event causes one component to be replaced, the entire index is reviewed, and therefore, multiple component changes are often implemented simultaneously.  A stock typically is added if it has an excellent reputation, demonstrates sustained growth, is of interest to a large number of investors, and accurately represents the sector(s) covered by the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM.
 
The Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM is price-weighted rather than market capitalization-weighted, which means that weightings are based only on changes in the stocks’ prices, rather than by both price changes and changes in the number of shares outstanding.  The divisor used to calculate the price-weighted average of the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM is not simply the number of component stocks; rather, the divisor is adjusted to smooth out the effects of stock splits and other corporate actions.  While this methodology reflects current practice in calculating the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM, no assurance can be given that the index sponsor will not modify or change this methodology in a manner that may affect the amount payable on the securities at maturity.
