You Will Not Receive Physical Notes, Which May Cause Delays in Distributions and Hamper Your
Ability to Pledge or Resell the Notes

    result in payment delays on the notes because we will be sending distributions on the notes
to DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg instead of directly to you;
 
    
    make it difficult for you to pledge or otherwise grant security over the notes if physical
notes are required by the party demanding the pledge or other security; and
 
    
    hinder your ability to resell the notes because some investors may be unwilling to buy notes
that are not in physical form.

Taxation of Interest Paid
  inter
alia
 Provision of Information
  Proposed European Union Savings Directive
  Other Rules Relating to United Kingdom Withholding Tax
 1.
    
    Where interest has been paid under deduction of United Kingdom income
tax, holders who are not resident in the United Kingdom may be able to
recover all or part of the tax deducted if there is an appropriate
provision in any applicable double taxation treaty.2.
    
    The references to interest above mean interest as understood in
United Kingdom tax law. The statements above do not take any account
of any different definitions of interest or principal which may
prevail under any other law or which may be created by the terms and
conditions of the Notes or any related documentation.3.
    
    The above description of the United Kingdom withholding tax position
assumes that there will be no substitution of companies and does not
consider the tax consequences of any such substitution.4.
    
    The Notes may be issued at an issue price of less than 100 per cent.
of their principal amount. Any discount element on any of these Notes
will not be subject to any United Kingdom withholding tax pursuant to
the provisions mentioned above, but may be subject to reporting
requirements as mentioned above.
