Common Code:             9157174

ISIN:                    XS0091571744

Other Provisions:

Supplemental Payment:    At maturity, in addition to the repayment of the
                         Principal Amount, we will pay an amount in Italian
                         Lira, as calculated by the Calculation Agent, that
                         is equal to the Lira Notional Amount times the
                         greater of (i) 0.10% or (ii) the Formula Rate.

                         The Formula Rate is the sum of (A) 8.63% plus (B)
                         10 times the difference of the Curve Spread minus
                         0.55%.  The Formula Rate is given by the following
                         formula:

                  8.63% + [10 * (Curve Spread - 0.55%)]

                                                      (continued to next page)



Capitalized terms not defined above have the meanings given to such terms in
                  the accompanying Prospectus Supplement.

(continued from previous page)

                         The Curve Spread is the 10-year USD bid-side swap
                         rate minus the 2-year USD offer-side swap rate, as
                         observed by the Determination Agent on Telerate
                         Page 42276 on the second New York Business Day
                         before the Maturity Date.  If either or both of
                         the 10-year USD bid-side swap rate or the 2-year
                         USD offer-side swap rate does not appear on
                         Telerate Page 42276, or if such Telerate Page is
                         no longer available, then the Determination Agent
                         will designate a successor reference or
                         references.

Payments in Euro:        If and when the Italian Lira is replaced by the
                         euro, we may choose to make payments of interest
                         or the Supplemental Payment in euro.  We may also
                         choose to convert the Lira Notional Amount to an
                         equivalent amount of euro and to base subsequent
                         calculations of interest and the Supplemental
                         Payment on such euro amount.
