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 1.60%.
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 1.60%.
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]

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 above), 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.
