3-Month GBP-LIBOR-BBA means the rate for

a successor service) at the Relevant Time
on the Interest Determination Date, then
the rate for 3-Month GBP-LIBOR-BBA shall
be determined on the basis of the rates

London interbank market for a period of 3
Months commencing on the first day of the
relevant Interest Period and in an amount
that is representative for a single
transaction in the London interbank
market at the Relevant Time. The
Calculation Agent will request the
principal London office of each of the
Reference Banks to provide a quotation of
its rate.
If at least two such quotations are
provided, the rate for 3-Month
GBP-LIBOR-BBA shall be the arithmetic
mean of such quotations. If fewer than
two quotations are provided as requested,
the rate for 3-Month GBP-LIBOR-BBA shall
be the arithmetic mean of the rates
quoted by major banks in London, selected
by the Calculation Agent, at
approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on
the first day of the relevant Interest
Period for loans in GBP to leading
European banks for a period of 3 months
commencing on the first day of the
relevant Interest Period and in an amount
that is representative for a single
transaction in the London interbank
market at such time.
If no quotation is available or if the
Calculation Agent determines in its sole
discretion that there is no suitable bank
that is prepared to provide the quotes,
the Calculation Agent will determine the
rate for 3-Month GBP-LIBOR-BBA for the
Interest Determination Date in question
in a manner that it deems commercially
reasonable by reference to such
additional resources as it deems
appropriate.
The calculations and determinations of
the Calculation Agent shall (save in the

General Information
Additional Information Regarding the Notes
1. The EU has adopted a Directive regarding the taxation of savings income (the
"Savings Directive"). The Savings Directive requires Member States (as defined
below) to provide to the tax authorities of other Member States details of
payments of interest and other similar income paid by a person to an individual
in another Member State, except that Austria, Belgium and Luxembourg will
instead impose a withholding system for a transitional period unless during such
period they elect otherwise.
The Bank undertakes that it will ensure that it maintains a paying agent in a
country which is a member of the European Union (a "Member State") that will not
be obliged to withhold or deduct tax pursuant to the Savings Directive.
2. United States Federal Income Tax Consequences
A) United States Internal Revenue Service Circular 230 Notice: To ensure
compliance with Internal Revenue Service Circular 230, prospective investors are
hereby notified that: (a) any discussion of U.S. federal tax issues contained or
referred to in this Pricing Supplement, the Prospectus or any other document
referred to herein is not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used by
prospective investors for the purpose of avoiding penalties that may be imposed
on them under the United States Internal Revenue Code; (b) such discussions are
written for use in connection with the promotion or marketing of the
transactions or matters addressed herein; and (c) prospective investors should
seek advice based on their particular circumstances from an independent tax
advisor.
B) The "Tax Matters" section of the Prospectus and any tax disclosure in this
pricing supplement is of a general nature only, is not exhaustive of all
possible tax considerations and is not intended to be, and should not be
construed to be, legal, business or tax advice to any particular prospective
investor. Each prospective investor should consult its own tax advisor as to the
particular tax consequences to it of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition
of the Notes, including the effects of applicable U.S. federal, state, and local
tax laws and non-U.S. tax laws and possible changes in tax laws.
C) Due to a change in law since the date of the Prospectus, the second paragraph
of "-Payments of Interest" under the United States Holders section should be
read as follows: "Interest paid by the Bank on the Notes constitutes income from
sources outside the United States but will, depending on your circumstances, be
"passive" or "general" income which, in either case, is treated separately from
other types of income for purposes of computing the foreign tax credit."
D) Due to a change in law since the date of the Prospectus, the fourth paragraph
of "-Purchase, Sale and Retirement of the Notes" under the United States Holders
section should be read as follows: "Capital gain of a noncorporate United States
holder that is recognized in taxable years beginning before January 1, 2009 is
generally taxed at a maximum rate of 15% where the holder has a holding period
greater than one year.
