"Current Yield (annualized)" equals the current Coupon Amount,
multiplied by four (to annualize such coupon), divided by the
closing price of the ETN on its current Coupon Valuation Date, or,
if the closing price is not available on that date, then the
previous available closing price, and rounded to two decimal
places for ease of analysis. The Current Yield is not indicative
of future coupon payments, if any, on the ETN. You are not
guaranteed any coupon or distribution amount under the ETN.

"Current Yield (annualized)" equals the current Coupon Amount and
the two immediately preceding Coupon Amounts, multiplied by four
(to annualize such coupons), divided by the closing price of the
ETN on its current Coupon Valuation Date, or, if the closing price
is not available on that date, then the previous available closing
price, and rounded to two decimal places for ease of analysis. The
Current Yield is not indicative of future coupon payments, if any,
on the ETN. You are not guaranteed any coupon or distribution
amount under the ETN.

Note: RWXL, DVYL, SDYL, MORL, DVHL, CEFL, LMLP, HDLV, SMHD, and LRET pay
a variable monthly coupon linked to 2 times the cash distributions, if
any, on the respective underlying index constituents, less withholding
taxes, if any. DVHI and FMLP pay a variable monthly coupon linked to the
cash distributions, if any, on the underlying index constituents, less
withholding taxes, if any. Variations in the amount of monthly
distributions will lead to large variations in the Current Yield as
calculated above. As such, the Current Yield for each is not indicative
of future coupon payments, if any, on these ETNs.
