The difference between the estimated value of your Notes and the original issue price reflects costs that the Bank or its affiliates expect to incur and profits that the
Bank or its affiliates expect to realize in connection with hedging activities related to the Notes. These costs and profits wil likely reduce the secondary market
price, if any secondary market develops, for the Notes. As a result, you may experience an immediate and substantial decline in the market value of your Notes on
the Trade Date and you may lose al or a substantial portion of your initial investment. The Bank's profit in relation to the Notes wil vary based on the difference
between (i) the amounts received by the Bank in connection with the issuance and the reinvestment return received by the Bank in connection with those funds
and (ii) the costs incurred by the Bank in connection with the issuance of the Notes and the hedging transactions. The Bank will also realize a profit that wil be
based on the (i) cost of creating and maintaining the hedging transactions minus (ii) the payments received on the hedging transactions.
We wil deliver the Notes in book-entry form through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") on or about April 29, 2014 against payment in
immediately available funds.

In the event the Bank elects to redeem the Notes pursuant to the provisions set forth in the preceding paragraph, it shall
deliver to the Trustees a certificate, signed by an authorized officer, stating (i) that the Bank is entitled to redeem such Notes
pursuant to their terms and (i ) the Principal Amount of the Notes to be redeemed.
Notice of intention to redeem such Notes wil be given to holders of the Notes not more than 45 nor less than 30 days prior to
the date fixed for redemption and such notice wil specify, among other things, the date fixed for redemption and the
redemption price.
ADDITIONAL RISK FACTORS
An investment in the Notes involves significant risks. In addition to the following risks included in this pricing supplement, we
urge you to read "Additional Risk Factors Specific to the Notes" beginning on page PS-5 of the accompanying product
prospectus supplement and "Risk Factors" beginning on page S-2 of the accompanying prospectus supplement and on page 6
of the accompanying prospectus.
You should understand the risks of investing in the Notes and should reach an investment decision only after careful
consideration, with your advisers, of the suitability of the Notes in light of your particular financial circumstances and the
information set forth in this pricing supplement and the accompanying prospectus, prospectus supplement and product
prospectus supplement.
Your Investment is Subject to a Reinvestment Risk in the Event We Elect to Call the Notes.
We have the ability to cal the Notes prior to the Maturity Date. In the event we decide to exercise the Call Provision, the
amount of interest payable would be less than the amount of interest payable if you held the Notes until the Maturity
Date. There is no guarantee that you would be able to reinvest the proceeds from an investment in the Notes at a comparable
return for a similar level of risk fol owing our exercise of the Cal Provision. We may choose to cal the Notes early or choose
not to cal the Notes early, in our sole discretion. In addition, it is more likely that we wil cal the Notes prior to maturity if a
significant decrease in U.S. interest rates or a significant decrease in the volatility of U.S. interest rates would result in greater
interest payments on the Notes than on instruments of comparable maturity, terms and credit worthiness then trading in the
market.
Interest Rate Risk.
The Notes are an investment in a fixed interest rate. Fixed interest rate instruments are generally more sensitive to market
interest rate changes. The prices of long-term debt obligations general y fluctuate more than prices of short-term debt
obligations as interest rates change. General y, when market interest rates rise, the prices of debt obligations fall, and vice
versa. This risk may be particularly acute because market interest rates are currently at historical y low levels. Therefore, an
increase in market interest rates will adversely affect the value of your Notes.
The Step-Up Feature Presents Different Investment Considerations than Fixed Rate Notes.

You will most likely not earn the highest scheduled interest rates on the Notes if interest rates remain the same or fall during
the term of the Notes. This is due, in part, to the fact that we are likely to exercise the Cal Provision before the realization of
such highest scheduled interest rates. Therefore, when determining whether to invest in the Notes, you should not focus on the
highest interest rate, which is only applicable to the last year of the stated term of your Notes, and instead focus on, among
other things, the annual applicable interest rate to the First Cal Date and the Cal Provision.

The Notes are Not Ordinary Debt Securities.
The Notes have certain investment characteristics that differ from traditional fixed income securities. Specifical y, the
performance of the Notes wil not track the same price movements as traditional interest rate products. A person should reach
a decision to invest in the Notes after carefully considering, with his or her advisors, the suitability of the Notes in light
