Scotiabank Savings Reward Plan (SSRP)

The Plan Start Date will be determined by taking into account whether or not an ASP Cancellation has occurred in respect of the Savings Reward Plan Account. If no ASP Cancellation has occurred, the Plan Start Date must be the first business day of the calendar month next following the date the first ASP Deposit is scheduled to be made to the Savings Reward Plan Account, except that if such first ASP Deposit date is the first business day of a calendar month, then the Plan Start Date must be the date of that first ASP Deposit. If an ASP Cancellation has occurred, the Plan Start Date must be the first business day of the calendar month next following the date the first ASP Deposit is scheduled to be made to the Savings Reward Plan Account after the date of the latest ASP Cancellation, except that if such first ASP Deposit date is the first business day of a calendar month, then the Plan Start Date must be the date of that first ASP Deposit.

Participation in the Plan

• The Savings Reward Plan Account will automatically participate in the Plan as long as there is at least one ASP continuously in effect for the Savings Reward Plan Account from the Plan Start Date and the Plan has not terminated.
  
• If there is an ASP Cancellation, the Savings Reward Plan Account will immediately cease to participate in the Plan.
  
• If the Plan has not terminated and the Savings Reward Plan Account resumes, after an ASP Cancellation, as a destination account under an ASP, the Savings Reward Plan Account can again participate in the Plan. Such participation will be based on a new plan start date and the Plan terms and conditions in effect at that time.
  

About the Plan

• Any Savings Amount for a Term will earn interest at the Bonus Rate. If there is no Savings Amount for a Term, there will be no Bonus Interest for that Term.
  
• Bonus Interest earned during a Term will be paid into the Savings Reward Plan Account at the expiry of that Term, provided that at that Term expiry date at least one ASP remains in effect for the Savings Reward Plan Account and the Plan has not been terminated. Any unpaid Bonus Interest is forfeited upon the earlier of the following dates:
  

    (a) the date an ASP Cancellation occurs, and

    (b) the termination date of the Plan.

• Scotiabank may, in its sole discretion,
  

    (a) terminate the Plan at any time without prior notice, or

    (b) amend the Plan or this Plan Document, including without limitation, the Bonus Rate or the period of the Term, at any time and from time to time without prior notice.
