                             ADDITIONAL RISK FACTORS

         THE ACCOMPANYING PROSPECTUS AND THIS PRICING SUPPLEMENT DO NOT DESCRIBE
ALL OF THE RISKS AND OTHER  RAMIFICATIONS  OF AN  INVESTMENT  IN THE  NOTES.  AN
INVESTMENT  IN  NOTES  LINKED  TO  THE  CONSUMER  PRICE  INDEX  ("CPI")  ENTAILS
SIGNIFICANT RISKS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH AN INVESTMENT IN A CONVENTIONAL FIXED RATE
OR FLOATING RATE DEBT SECURITY. INVESTORS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN FINANCIAL AND
LEGAL  ADVISORS ABOUT THE RISKS  ASSOCIATED  WITH AN INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES AND
THE  SUITABILITY  OF  INVESTING  IN THE  NOTES  IN  LIGHT  OF  THEIR  PARTICULAR
CIRCUMSTANCES,  AND POSSIBLE  SCENARIOS  FOR  ECONOMIC,  INTEREST RATE AND OTHER
FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT THEIR INVESTMENT.

         YOUR INTEREST RATE IS BASED ON THE CPI.

         Your   interest   payments   will  be   affected   by  changes  in  the
non-seasonally adjusted U.S. City Average All Items Consumer Price Index for All
Urban  Consumers,  published  monthly  by the  Bureau of Labor  Statistics  (the
"CPI").  Such changes may be  significant.  Changes in the CPI are a function of
the  changes in  specified  consumer  prices  over time,  which  result from the
interaction of many factors over which we have no control.

         HISTORICAL CHANGES TO THE CPI ARE NOT NECESSARILY  INDICATIVE OF FUTURE
CHANGES.

         Movements in the CPI that have occurred in the past are not necessarily
indicative  of changes that may occur in the future,  which may be WIDER or MORE
CONFINED than those that have occurred historically. The CPI is a measure of the
average  levels in consumer  prices over time in a fixed market  basket of goods
and services.  In  calculating  the CPI,  price levels for the various items are
averaged  together with weights that represent their relative  importance in the
spending of urban  households in the United  States.  The contents of the market
basket of goods and services and the weights  assigned to the various  items are
updated  periodically  to take into  account  changes  in  consumer  expenditure
patterns.  Investors should not rely on any historical  changes or trends in the
CPI as an indicator of future changes in the CPI.

         DURING  PERIODS  OF LOW  INFLATION  OR  DEFLATION,  THE  INTEREST  RATE
APPLICABLE TO THE NOTES COULD BE AS LOW AS 0.00%.

         During periods of reduced inflation,  the amount of interest payable on
the notes will decrease.  In a period of deflation,  the CPI Adjustment Rate (as
defined  below) would be negative.  This could result in an interest rate as low
as 0.00%.

         THE INTEREST  RATE ON THE NOTES MAY BE LESS THAN THE RATE ON COMPARABLE
FIXED OR FLOATING RATE DEBT SECURITIES.

         Because  the  long-term  trend in CPI changes  has been  positive,  the
initial  interest  rate may be below what would be paid, as of a current date on
comparable debt  securities  with a fixed or floating rate and similar  maturity
and credit quality to that of the notes.  Even though the long-term trend in CPI
changes has been  positive,  at any future date,  the interest rate on the notes
may be  below  what  we  would  expect  to  pay as of  such  date  if we  issued
non-callable  senior debt  securities  with a fixed or floating rate and similar
maturity to that of the notes.

         CHANGES IN THE CPI MAY NOT  CORRELATE  WITH  CHANGES IN  INTEREST  RATE
INDICES.

         Changes  in the CPI may bear  little or no  relationship  to changes in
interest rate indices  (such as those  described in the  Prospectus  Supplement)
that may be applicable to other floating rate notes. As a result,  your interest
rate may be below the  interest  rates  payable  on other  otherwise  comparable
floating  rate  debt  securities.  In  addition,  the  calculation  of  the  CPI
Adjustment  Rate CPI  incorporates  an approximate  three-month  lag, which will
affect the amount of interest payable on the notes and may have an impact on the
trading prices of the notes,  particularly  in periods of significant  and rapid
changes in the CPI.

         THE CPI ITSELF AND THE WAY THE  BUREAU OF LABOR  STATISTICS  CALCULATES
THE CPI MAY CHANGE IN THE FUTURE.

         There can be no assurance that the Bureau of Labor  Statistics will not
change the method by which it  calculates  the CPI. In addition,  changes in the
way the CPI is  calculated  could  reduce  the  level of the CPI and  lower  the
interest payment with respect to the notes. Accordingly, the amount of interest,
if any,  payable  on the notes,  and  therefore  the value of the notes,  may be
significantly  reduced. If the CPI is substantially  altered, a substitute index
may be employed to  calculate  the interest  payable on the notes,  as described
below. That substitution may adversely affect the value of the notes.

                            INTEREST RATE ATTACHMENT

BASE RATE:

The  interest  rate  basis for the notes and the  funding  agreement  is the CPI
Adjustment Rate (as defined below) for each interest  payment  period,  based on
the percentage change in the non-seasonally adjusted U.S. City Average All Items
Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (the "CPI"),  published  monthly by
the Bureau of Labor  Statistics  of the U.S.  Department of Labor  ("BLS"),  and
calculated as described in this pricing supplement.  The CPI Adjustment Rate may
be a positive or negative  rate in any  interest  payment  period.  The CPI is a
measure of the average  levels in consumer  prices over time for a fixed  market
basket  of  goods  and  services,  including  food,  clothing,  shelter,  fuels,
transportation,  charges  for  doctors  and  dentists  services,  and drugs.  In
calculating the index,  price levels for the various items are averaged together
with weights that represent their importance in the spending of urban households
in the United  States.  The contents of the market  basket of goods and services
and the weights  assigned to the various items are updated  periodically  by the
BLS to take into account changes in consumer  expenditure  patterns.  The CPI is
expressed  in relative  terms in relation  to a time base  reference  period for
which the level is set at 100.0.  The base reference period for the Notes is the
1982-1984 average.

HISTORICAL DATA ON THE CONSUMER PRICE INDEX:

The table below sets forth the CPI as published by the BLS of the months listed.
Historical  fluctuations  in the CPI are not  necessarily  indicative  of future
fluctuations,  which may be  greater  or less  than  those  that  have  occurred
historically.

COMPUTATION OF INTEREST:

THE CPI:

CPI(t) for each Interest  Payment Date is the CPI for the second  calendar month
prior to the  applicable  Interest  Rate  Determination  Date,  as published and
reported  in  the  calendar  month  immediately  prior  to  such  Interest  Rate
Determination Date.

For  example,  if notes  were  outstanding  for the  period  from and  including
November 15, 2004 to but  excluding  December 15, 2004,  CPI(t) would be the CPI
for  September  2004,  which was  189.9,  and  CPI(t)-(12)  would be the CPI for
September 2003, which was 185.2. The CPI for September 2004 was published by BLS
and reported on Bloomberg  CPURNSA in October  2004,  and the CPI for  September
2003 was published and reported in October 2003.

                  [REMAINDER OF PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK]



                                       5




                     CALCULATION OF THE CPI ADJUSTMENT RATE:

The CPI Adjustment  Rate for each Interest Reset Period is determined as of each
Interest Rate Determination Date using the following formula:

        (CPI(t)-CPI(t)-(12))/CPI(t)-(12)  where:

        CPI(t) : Current Index Level of the CPI (as defined below), as published
                 on Bloomberg CPURNSA; and

        CPI(t)-(12): Index Level of CPI for the month 12 months prior to the
                     CPI(t).

Applying  this formula to the above example  would yield a CPI  Adjustment  Rate
result for December 15, 2004 of 2.5378%.  As all percentages  resulting from any
calculation on the notes is rounded to the nearest one hundredth of a percentage
point, with five  one-thousandths of a percentage point rounded upwards,  (e.g.,
2.5378%,  or .025378,  is rounded to 2.54%,  or .0254) the actual CPI Adjustment
Rate would be 2.54%

CALCULATION OF INTEREST RATE:

The CPI Adjustment  Rate  determined on an Interest Rate  Determination  Date is
used to calculate the Interest Rate  effective on the next Interest  Reset Date.
For all periods on and after the Initial  Interest Reset Date, the Interest Rate
is equal to the CPI  Adjustment  Rate times the Spread  Multiplier,  if any, and
plus the  fixed  Spread,  if any,  both as  indicated  earlier  in this  pricing
supplement.  That  Interest  Rate is  credited  under  the note and the  funding
agreement,  unless  a  higher  Minimum  Rate  or a  lower  Maximum  Rate is also
specified in the pricing supplement. Note that the Spread Multiplier may be less
than 100% and that a fixed Spread can be negative.

To  continue  the above  example  if a  pricing  supplement  indicated  a Spread
Multiplier  of 125% and a fixed spread of .85%,  the interest  rate credited for
the period  starting on December 15, 2004 would have been 4.03% [(2.54% X125%) +
..85% = 4.025%; which is rounded up to 4.03%]. If a Maximum Rate and/or a Minimum
Rate is specified in this pricing  supplement,  the Maximum and/or Minimum Rates
apply if they are, respectively, lower than or higher than the calculated rate.

DETERMINATION OF THE CPI:

If the CPI is not reported on Bloomberg  CPURNSA for a particular  month by 3:00
PM on an Interest Rate  Determination  Date, but has otherwise been published by
the BLS, the  Calculation  Agent will  determine the CPI as published by the BLS
for such month using such other  source as on its face,  and after  consultation
with us, appears to accurately set forth the CPI as published by the BLS. If the
CPI has not been  discontinued but has not been reported on Bloomberg CPURNSA or
published  by  BLS  for a  particular  month  by  3:00  PM on an  Interest  Rate
Determination  Date,  CPI for such  date  shall  be the CPI for the  immediately
preceding Interest Rate Determination Date.

In calculating  CPI(t) and CPI(t)-(12)  the Calculation  Agent will use the most
recently available value of the CPI for any month, determined as described above
on the applicable  Interest Rate Determination Date, even if such value has been
adjusted from a prior reported value for the relevant month. However, if a value
of CPI(t) and  CPI(t)-(12)  used by the  Calculation  Agent on any Interest Rate
Determination  Date to  determine  the  interest  rate on the notes (an "Initial
CPI") is subsequently revised by the BLS, the Calculation Agent will continue to
use the Initial CPI, and the interest rate  determined  will not be revised.  If
the CPI is rebased to a different year or period,  the base reference period for
the notes will  continue  to be the  1982-1984  reference  period as long as the
1982-1984 CPI continues to be published.

If,  while the  notes are  outstanding,  the CPI is  discontinued  or, if in the
opinion of the BLS, as evidenced by a public  release,  and if concurred with by
us, substantially altered, the applicable substitute index for the notes will be
that chosen by the  Secretary of the Treasury for the  Department  of Treasury's
Inflation-Linked Treasuries as described at 62 Federal Register 846-874 (January
6, 1997). If no such securities are  outstanding,  the substitute  index for the
notes  will  be  determined  by  the  Calculation  Agent  as  directed  by us in
accordance with general market practice at the time, provided that the procedure
for determining the resulting  interest rate is  administratively  acceptable to
the Calculation Agent.
