principal amount of your investment at maturity or upon redemption. For a more complete description of how the investor fee is calculated, please see the applicable product page and Pricing Supplement at
www.iPathETN.com
. When redeeming units
of the iPath MSCI India Index ETN, a redemption charge of 0.125% times the weekly redemption value will apply. The redemption charge is a one-time charge imposed upon early redemption and is intended to allow the issuer to recoup brokerage and other
transaction costs incurred in connection with early redemption.
