ISSUANCE IN JAPANESE YEN

         The Japanese yen is the national currency of Japan. Japanese bank
notes are issued by the Bank of Japan, which was established in 1882 and is the
country's central bank and sole bank of issue.

         The principal of and interest on the Notes will be payable in Japanese
yen except under the circumstances described under "Foreign Currency
Risks--Payment Currency" in the Prospectus Supplement, in which circumstances
the principal of and interest on the Notes will be payable in U.S. dollars.
Except in such circumstances, holders of Notes will receive payment of the
principal of and interest on such Notes in Japanese yen and will have no right
to elect to receive such payment in U.S. dollars.

EXCHANGE RATE INFORMATION

         In recent years, rates of exchange between the U.S. dollar and the
Japanese yen have been highly volatile. The following table sets forth the noon
buying rate for cable transfers in New York City payable in Japanese yen,
expressed in Japanese yen per U.S. dollar as reported by the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York, on the last New York Business Day of the months (and partial
month) indicated. Such rates are provided solely for the convenience of the
reader and should not be construed as a representation that Japanese yen
amounts actually represent such U.S. dollar amounts or that such Japanese yen
amounts could have been, or could be, converted into U.S. dollars at that rate
or at any other rate.
