Prospectus Supplement for Index Linked Notes
supplement or in any of the Index Sponsor's publicly available information or determine if there has been
any omission by any Index Sponsor to disclose any facts, information or events which may have occurred
prior to or subsequent to the date as of which any information has been furnished by any Index Sponsor
which may affect the significance or accuracy of such information. The Bank and the Investment Dealers
are not responsible for an unrelated Index Sponsor's public disclosure of information with respect to itself
or the relevant Index, whether contained in filings made with securities regulators or otherwise. See
"Description of Index Linked Notes - Indices".
A Market Disruption Event may affect the determination of Index levels
The Calculation Agent may determine, in its sole discretion, that certain events constitute a Market
Disruption Event, whereby the Calculation Agent would be entitled to postpone a Valuation Date specified
in the applicable pricing supplement for the determination of a Closing Index Level to a later date in respect
of the affected Index which may delay the calculation and/or payment of any amounts that may be payable
on the Notes. Fluctuations in the Closing Index Level may occur in the interim. In certain cases, a Market
Disruption Event may result in a change to the formula for calculating any amounts that may be payable
on the Notes. As a result of such events, the amounts that may be payable on the Notes may be adversely
affected. See "Special Circumstances - Market Disruption Event".
A Material Index Change may affect the value of the Notes
Certain events may constitute a Material Index Change, whereby, as a result, the Calculation Agent may
be entitled to make adjustments to the formula for calculating any amounts that may be payable on the
Notes and may also, substitute the Index for another Index. Such events or actions may affect the value of
the Notes and the amounts that may be payable on the Notes. See "Special Circumstances Index
Adjustments".
Historical performance of an underlying interest or an Index should not be taken as an indication of
future performance
The performance of any underlying interest will affect Index levels and, therefore, the value of the Notes.
The historical performance of an underlying interest or an Index is not necessarily an indication of the
future performance of such underlying interest or Index. As a result, it is impossible to predict whether the
value of an underlying interest or Index levels will rise or fall during the term of the Notes. The value of an
underlying interest and Index levels will be influenced by complex and interrelated political, geopolitical,
social, economic, financial and other factors. See "Historical Index Level and Dividend Information".
Risk Factors Relating to the Secondary Market
There may not be an active trading market for the Notes
There may be little or no secondary market for the Notes. Unless otherwise specified in the relevant pricing
supplement, the Notes will not be listed or quoted on any securities exchange or any electronic
communications network. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable pricing supplement, Scotia Capital
Inc. and other affiliates of the Bank may under normal market conditions, provide a secondary market for
the Notes, but they are not obligated to do so, and they may stop any such market-making activities at any
time in their sole and absolute discretion, without prior notice to investors. A prospective investor should
not base his or her decision to purchase the Notes on the availability of a secondary market or, if a secondary
market is available, on the expectation that the bid price for the Notes will be equal to or greater than the
Principal Amount invested by such investor. See "Secondary Market for Notes" in the Prospectus.
