ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE NOTES

Book-Entry System
We wil issue the notes as a master global note registered in the name of DTC, or its nominee. The sale of the
notes wil settle in immediately available funds through DTC. You wil not be permitted to withdraw the notes from
DTC except in the limited situations described in the accompanying prospectus under "Legal Ownership and Book-
Entry Issuance -- What Is a Global Security? -- Holder's Option to Obtain a Non-Global Security; Special Situations
When a Global Security Wil Be Terminated". Investors may hold interests in a master global note through
organizations that participate, directly or
indirectly, in the DTC system.

In addition to this pricing supplement, the fol owing provisions are hereby incorporated into the global master
note: the description of New York business day appearing under "Description of Debt Securities We May Offer
Calculations of Interest on Debt Securities Business Days" in the accompanying prospectus, the description of the
fol owing unadjusted business day convention appearing under "Description of Debt Securities We May Offer
Calculations of Interest on Debt Securities Business Day Conventions" in the accompanying prospectus and the
section "Description of Debt Securities We May Offer Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance" in the accompanying
prospectus.
Day Count Convention
As further described under "Description of Debt Securities We May Offer Calculations of Interest on Debt
Securities Interest Rates and Interest" in the accompanying prospectus, for each interest period the amount of accrued
interest wil be calculated by multiplying the principal amount of the note by an accrued interest factor for the interest
period. The accrued interest factor wil be determined by multiplying the per annum interest rate by a factor resulting from
the 30/360 (ISDA) day count convention. The factor is the number of days in the interest period in respect of which
payment is being made divided by 360, calculated on a formula basis as fol ows:
[360 × (Y2 Y1)] + [30 × (M2 M1)] + (D2 D1)
360
where:
"Y1" is the year, expressed as a number, in which the first day of the interest period fal s;
"Y2" is the year, expressed as a number, in which the day immediately fol owing the last day included in the interest
period fal s;
"M1" is the calendar month, expressed as a number, in which the first day of the interest period
fal s;
"M2" is the calendar month, expressed as a number, in which the day immediately fol owing the last day included in
the interest period fal s;
"D1" is the first calendar day, expressed as a number, of the interest period, unless such number would be 31, in
which case D1 wil be 30; and
"D2" is the calendar day, expressed as a number, immediately fol owing the last day included in the interest
period, unless such number would be 31 and D1 is greater than 29, in which case D2 wil be 30.

When We Can Redeem the Notes
We wil be permitted to redeem the notes at our option before their stated maturity, as described below. The
notes wil not be entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund that is, we wil not deposit money on a regular basis into
any separate custodial account to repay your note. In addition, you wil not be entitled to require us to buy your note
from you before its stated maturity.

We wil have the right to redeem the notes at our option, in whole but not in part, on each January 23, April 23,
July 23 and October 23 on or after January 23, 2021, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal
amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the redemption date. We wil provide not less than five
business days' prior notice in the manner described under "Description of Debt Securities We May Offer -- Notices"
in the attached prospectus. If the redemption notice is given and funds deposited as required, then interest wil cease
to accrue on and after the redemption date on the notes. If any redemption date is not a business day, we wil pay
the redemption price on the next business day without any interest or other payment due to the delay.

What are the Tax Consequences of the Notes
You should careful y consider, among other things, the matters set forth under "United States Taxation" in the
accompanying prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. The fol owing discussion summarizes
certain of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the purchase, beneficial ownership, and disposition
of each of the notes. This summary supplements the section "United States Taxation" in the accompanying
prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus and is subject to the limitations and exceptions set forth
therein.

As of the original issue date, the notes should not be treated as issued with "original issue discount" ("OID") despite
the fact that the interest rate on the notes is scheduled to step-up over the term of the notes because Treasury
regulations general y deem an issuer to exercise a cal option in a manner that minimizes the yield on the debt
instrument for purposes of determining whether a debt instrument is issued with OID. The yield on the notes would be
minimized if we cal the notes immediately before the increase in the interest rate on January 23, 2023 and therefore the
notes should be treated as maturing on such date for OID purposes. This assumption is made solely for purposes of
determining whether the notes are issued with OID for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and is not an indication of our
intention to cal or not to cal the notes at any time. If we do not cal the notes prior to the increase in the interest rate
then, solely for OID purposes, the notes wil be deemed to be reissued at their adjusted issue price on January 23, 2023.
This deemed issuance should not give rise to taxable gain or loss to holders. The same analysis would apply to the
increase in the interest rate on January 23, 2024. If the notes are not cal ed on the interest payment date occurring on
January 23, 2024, then, because the period between the interest payment date on January 23, 2024 and the stated
maturity date of the notes is one year or less, the notes, upon their deemed reissuance on January 23, 2024, could be
treated as short-term debt securities for OID purposes (but not for purposes of determining the holding period of your
notes). For a discussion of the U.S. federal income tax consequences to a U.S. holder of owning short-term debt
securities, please review the section entitled "United States Taxation--Taxation of Debt Securities--United States
Holders--Short-Term Debt Securities" in the accompanying prospectus.

Under this approach, and subject to the discussion above regarding short-term debt securities, interest on a note
wil be taxable to a U.S. holder as ordinary interest income at the time it accrues or is received in accordance with the
U.S. holder's normal method of accounting for tax purposes (regardless of whether we cal the notes). Upon the
disposition of a note by sale, exchange, redemption or retirement (i.e., if we exercise our right to cal the notes or
otherwise) or other disposition, a U.S. holder wil general y recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference, if any,
between (i) the amount realized on the disposition (other than amounts attributable to accrued but unpaid interest, which
would be treated as such) and (i ) the U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in the note. A U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in a
note general y wil equal the cost of the note to the U.S. holder. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to significant
limitations.

Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) Withholding. Pursuant to Treasury regulations, Foreign Account Tax
Compliance Act (FATCA) withholding (as described in "United States Taxation--Taxation of Debt Securities--Foreign
Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) Withholding" in the accompanying prospectus) wil general y apply to obligations
that are issued on or after July 1, 2014; therefore, the notes wil general y be subject to the FATCA withholding rules.
Pursuant to recently proposed regulations, the Treasury Department has indicated its intent to eliminate the
requirements under FATCA of withholding on gross proceeds from the sale, exchange, maturity or other disposition of
relevant financial instruments. The Treasury Department has indicated that taxpayers may rely on these proposed
regulations pending their finalization.
