price may from time to time be varied by Smith Barney Inc.

Certain U.S. Tax Considerations

              The following is a summary of the principal U.S.
federal income tax consequences of ownership of the Notes. The
summary concerns U.S. Holders (as defined in the Prospectus
Supplement) who hold the Notes as capital assets and does not
deal with special classes of holders such as dealers in
securities or currencies, persons who hold the Notes as a hedge
against currency risks or who hedge any currency risks of holding
the Notes, tax-exempt investors, or U.S. Holders whose functional
currency is other than the U.S. dollar or persons who acquire, or
for income tax purposes are deemed to have acquired, the Notes in
an exchange, or for property other than cash. The discussion
below is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, and final, temporary and proposed United States Treasury
Regulations. Persons considering the purchase of the Notes should
consult with and rely solely upon their own tax advisors
concerning the application of U.S. federal income tax laws to
their particular situations as well as any consequences arising
under the laws of any other domestic or foreign taxing
jurisdiction.

              Except where otherwise indicated below, this summary
supplements and, to the extent inconsistent, replaces the
discussion under the caption "United States Taxation" in the
Prospectus Supplement.

              U.S. Holders. Although there is a possibility that the
Notes will not be outstanding until the Stated Maturity Date, the
general rule under the regulations regarding OID is that in
determining the yield and maturity of a debt instrument that
provides an issuer with an unconditional option or options,
exercisable on one or more dates during the term of the debt
instrument, that if exercised require payments to be made on the
debt instrument under an alternative schedule, the issuer will be
deemed to exercise such option or combination of options in a
manner that minimizes the yield on the debt instrument. Under the
foregoing rules, the Notes are treated as if they will not be
redeemed by TMCC, and thus as if they were to remain outstanding
until the Stated Maturity Date. Under the foregoing principles,
the amount payable with respect to a Note at the Fixed Interest
Rate should be includible in income by a U.S. Holder as ordinary
interest at the time the interest payments are accrued or are
received in accordance with such U.S. Holder's regular method of
tax accounting.
