The interest rate on each Note will be either a fixed rate established by
the Company at the Issue Date of such Note (a "Fixed Rate Note"), which may be
zero in the case of certain Notes issued at a price representing a discount
from the principal amount payable upon the Maturity Date, or at a floating rate
as set forth therein and specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement (a
"Floating Rate Note"). A Fixed Rate Note may pay a level amount in respect of
both interest and principal amortized over the life of the Note (an "Amortizing
Note"). See "Description of Notes-Fixed Rate Notes" and "Description of
Notes-Floating Rate Notes." The principal amount payable at the Maturity Date
of, or any interest and premium, if any, on, a Note, or both, may be determined
by reference to one or more Specified Currencies (a "Currency Indexed Note"),
or by reference to the price of one or more specified securities or commodities
or to one or more securities or commodities exchange indices or other indices
or by other methods (an "Indexed Note," such term to include Currency Indexed
Notes) as described in the applicable Pricing Supplement. See "Description of
Notes-Currency Indexed Notes," "Description of Notes-Other Indexed Notes and
Certain Terms Applicable to All Indexed Notes" and "Risk Factors-Risks
Associated With Indexed Notes."
