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 following section will supersede and replace the section “Description of the Notes—Role of the Calculation Agent” set forth on page S-29 of the accompanying product supplement.
The Calculation Agent has the sole discretion to make all determinations regarding the Notes as described in this product supplement, including determinations regarding the Starting Value, the Ending Value, the Reference Asset, the amount of interest payable on the Notes, the Investor Fee, the Treasury Rate Charge, the Redemption Amount or Early Redemption Amount, as applicable, Interest Reset Dates, Interest Determination Dates, Calculation Dates, any Market Disruption Events, any Commodity Hedging Disruption Events, a successor asset, Reference Asset Business Days, business days, London business days, Valuation Dates, and calculations related to adjustments to or the discontinuance of any Reference Asset. All determinations of the Calculation Agent will be made in good faith and a commercially reasonable manner.
We expect to appoint Merrill Lynch Commodities, Inc., which is one of our affiliates, as the Calculation Agent for the Notes. However, we may change the Calculation Agent at any time without notifying you.

We plan to deliver the Notes against payment therefor on a date that is greater than two business days following the pricing date. Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the Notes more than two business days prior to the original issue date will be required to specify alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement.
