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.
