Annex to this pricing supplement, and is being
provided for informational purposes only. This
information has been compiled using publicly
available sources. The Issuer makes no
representation or warranty, whether express or
implied, as to the completeness or accuracy of such
information.

The following provisions apply in relation to the
Index-Linked Period:
Amendments to Index
The method of calculation of the Index may change
from time to time, as may the composition of the
region comprised of Member States of the European
Union that adopt the single currency in accordance
with the Treaty establishing the European
Community (the "Eurozone"). Such changes shall
not give rise to any right of Noteholders to an early
redemption of the Notes or to any adjustment to the
basis for calculating the amount payable under the
Notes.
Delay in publication of Index
If the MUICP figure for any month (which is required
for the purpose of the Rate of Interest in respect of
the Index-Linked Period or the calculation of
amounts in respect thereof) is not published on or
before the fifth Relevant Business Day prior to the
relevant Interest Payment Date in respect of the
Index-Linked Period, the MUICP for such month
shall be:

(i) such substitute index figure (if any) as shall
be published by Eurostat in respect of the
relevant month; or

(ii) if no substitute index figure in respect of
the relevant month is published as aforesaid
on or before the fifth Relevant Business Day
before such relevant Interest Payment Date,
then the Calculation Agent shall determine a
substitute index figure after reviewing any
such similar index figures as published by the
Agence France Trésor on its internet website
(see Annex) or such other sources as the
Calculation Agent deems relevant.
Cessation of or fundamental changes to Index
If MUICP ceases to be calculated or published by
Eurostat, but is calculated or published by a
A02839448/1.0/26 Feb 2003

- 5 -


successor entity without any modification of the
calculation formula, the MUICP used shall be the
MUICP calculated or published by such sucessor. If
the MUICP ceases to be published or if the MUICP
has not been published for two consecutive months
or if any change is made which, in the reasonable
opinion of the Calculation Agent constitutes a
fundamental change in the rules governing the
MUICP, the Calculation Agent shall determine a
substitute index. The MUICP shall be replaced by
the substitute index so determined and references to
the MUICP shall be construed accordingly.
In making such determinations, the Calculation
Agent may consult with JPMorgan Chase Bank,
which has entered into an offsetting swap
transaction with the Bank in relation to the Notes.
Notwithstanding the possibility of such consulta tions,
the Calculation Agent shall make its own
independent judgments regarding fundamental
changes and substitute indexes.
Change of Base
If at any time, MUICP is materially rebased, the
Calculation Agent shall determine the MUICP figure
to be applied for the purposes of calculating the Rate
of Interest, by multiplying that figure representing the
rebased MUICP for the applicable month in respect
of which the MUICP is to be determined
("MUICP(R)") by the non rebased MUICP figure for
the same month, divided by MUICP(R)). This
procedure will be used on each occasion on which a
material rebase of the Index is made during the term
of the Notes.

ANNEX
Information about the Index

Note: The information contained in this section (in particular, website addresses and details of
publication methods and dates) is stated as at the date of issue of the Notes only, and is subject to
change. This information has been compiled using publicly available sources. The Issuer makes
no repres entation or warranty, whether express or implied, as to the completeness or accuracy of
such information.

Summary

The Monetary Union Index of Consumer Prices ex-tobacco ("MUICP") is an aggregation of
relevant Harmonised Indices of Consumer Prices ("HICPs") and reflects consumer price inflation
(excluding tobacco) in those EU member states that are members of the Eurozone ­ having
adopted the euro as their currency as participants in the third stage of Economic and Monetary
Union.

General Information

HICPs are indices of inflation compiled according to methodology developed by the national
statistical institutes of member states of the European Union in conjunction with Eurostat. HICP
figures are harmonized inflation figures required under Article 121 (consolidated version) of the
Treaty establishing the European Community. They are designed for international comparison of
consumer price inflation. HICP indices cover "household final monetary consumption expenditure".
The relative importance of consumers' expenditure in terms of particular goods or services varies
from country to country. Therefore, there is no uniform basket applying to all member states.

Compilation

Individual countries first publish their own HICP figures in conjunction with their consumer price
indices. Following each country's publication of its own HICP figures, Eurostat aggregates these
and publishes aggregate HICP figures for the European Union (the European Index of Consumer
Prices or EICP), for the Eurozone (the Monetary U nion Index of Consumer Prices or MUICP) and
for the European Economic Area (the European Economic Area Index of Consumer Prices or
EEAICP).

Revisions and Publication

Eurostat generally publishes MUICP figures approximately 16 to 18 days following the end of the
relevant month. MUICP figures as published by Eurostat are occasionally revised after publication
upon more accurate data becoming available. The Index as used in connection with the Notes,
however, consists only of the unrevised figures first published by Eurostat (disregarding
preliminary estimates). The tables of historical data found on the main pages of Eurostat's website
(http://europa.eu.int/comm/eurostat/) contain the revised figures and therefore will not reflect
exactly the development of the Index. Unrevised figures can be obtained by subscription to
Eurostat's New Cronos database. The most convenient source of information about the
development of the Index is currently the internet site of Agence France Trésor
(http://www.aft.fr/oat/us/ipceuro.html) as the Index is the same as the index used to calculate
payments under the French Republic's OAT ei securities.
