Certain United States Tax Considerations.
The following discussion supplements the discussion contained in the Prospectus Supplement dated August 24,
2005 under the heading "United States Tax Considerations." Prospective purchasers of Notes are advised to consult
their own tax advisors with respect to tax matters relating to the Notes.
Notes Used as Qualified Replacement Property.
Prospective investors seeking to treat the Notes as "qualified replacement property" for purposes of section 1042 of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), should be aware that, in order for the Notes to
constitute such qualified replacement property, the Notes themselves and the issuer must meet certain requirements.
In general, qualified replacement property is a "security" issued by a domestic corporation that did not, for the
taxable year preceding the taxable year in which such security was purchased, have "passive investment income in
excess of 25 percent of the gross receipts of such corporation for such preceding taxable year (the "Passive Income
Test"). The term "securities," is defined pursuant to section 1042 of the Code to include bonds, debentures, notes or
other evidences of indebtedness of a corporation in registered form. The Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") has
in some cases expressed the view that the definition of "security" in section 354 of the Code (which generally does
not include short-term debt instruments) may also be relevant in applying section 1042. The Company does not
express any conclusion on whether the Notes constitute "securities" for purposes of section 1042 of the Code and
potential investors should consult their own tax advisors as to the appropriate characterization of the Notes as
qualified replacement property for this purpose.
In regards to the Passive Income Test, where the issuing corporation is in control of one or more corporations or
such issuing corporation is controlled by one or more other corporations, all such corporations are treated as one

PROSPECTUS
corporation (the Affiliated Group) for purposes of computing the amount of passive investment income for
purposes of section 1042. The Company believes that the Affiliated Group (which includes the General Electric
Company and its controlled subsidiaries) did not, for the taxable year ending December 31, 2004, have passive
investment income in excess of twenty-five percent of the gross receipts of the Affiliated Group. In making this
determination, the Company has made certain assumptions and used procedures that it believes are reasonable. No
assurance can be given as to whether the Company will continue to meet the Passive Income Test. In addition, it is
possible that the IRS may disagree with the manner in which the Company has calculated the Affiliated Groups
gross receipts (including the characterization thereof) and passive investment income and the conclusions reached.
