SUMMARY

This pricing supplement relates only to our notes and does not relate to the securities of any of the other companies comprising the Nasdaq-100 Index^®. This summary includes questions and answers that highlight selected information from the accompanying prospectus, prospectus supplement, and this pricing supplement to help you understand these notes. You should read carefully the entire prospectus, prospectus supplement, and pricing supplement to understand fully the terms of the notes, as well as the tax and other considerations important to you in making a decision about whether to invest in the notes. In particular, you should review carefully the section in this pricing supplement entitled “Risk Factors,” which highlights a number of risks, to determine whether an investment in the notes is appropriate for you. If information in this pricing supplement is inconsistent with the prospectus or prospectus supplement, this pricing supplement will supersede those documents.

Certain capitalized terms used herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the prospectus supplement and prospectus.

In light of the complexity of the transaction described in this pricing supplement, you are urged to consult with your own attorneys and business and tax advisors before making a decision to purchase any of the notes.

The information in this “Summary” section is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed explanation set forth elsewhere in this pricing supplement and the accompanying prospectus supplement and prospectus. You should rely only on the information contained in this pricing supplement or the accompanying prospectus supplement and prospectus. We have not authorized any other person to provide you with different information. If anyone provides you with different or inconsistent information, you should not rely on it. Neither we nor any of the agents is making an offer to sell these notes in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted. You should assume that the information appearing in this pricing supplement or the accompanying prospectus supplement and prospectus is accurate as of the date on their respective front covers only.

What are the notes?

The notes are senior debt securities issued by Bank of America Corporation, and are not secured by collateral. The notes rank equally with all of our other unsecured senior indebtedness from time to time outstanding. The notes will mature on December 23, 2008. We cannot redeem the notes at any earlier date. We will not make any payments on the notes until maturity.

Are the notes equity or debt securities?

The notes are our senior debt securities. However, these notes differ from traditional debt securities in that you will not receive interest payments. Instead, at maturity you will receive (a) your principal amount, plus (b) an additional amount called the “Supplemental Redemption Amount” as described below.

Will you receive your principal at maturity?

Yes. If you hold the notes until maturity, you will receive at a minimum your principal amount and a Supplemental Redemption Amount. However, if you attempt to sell the notes prior to maturity, you may find that the market value of the notes is less than the principal amount of the notes.

PS-3

Table of Contents

How much will you receive at maturity?

At maturity, you will receive the principal amount of the notes. You also will receive the Supplemental Redemption Amount, which will not be less than a total of 5.00% of the principal amount of the notes at maturity. We call this minimum amount the “Minimum Supplemental Redemption Amount.” Any Supplemental Redemption Amount above the Minimum Supplemental Redemption Amount will be based upon the performance of the Nasdaq-100 Index^® during the term of the notes and will be determined by the calculation agent in the manner described below.

The calculation agent will determine any Supplemental Redemption Amount above the Minimum Supplemental Redemption Amount by reference to the periodic returns of the Nasdaq-100^® during the following 20 “Reference Periods”:

We priced the notes on December 17, 2003, or the “Pricing Date.” The Pricing Date is the first day of the first Reference Period.

We refer to the last day of each Reference Period as a “Reset Date.” On the Pricing Date, the calculation agent determined the closing level of the Nasdaq-100 Index^® to be 1,400.00. On each Reset Date, the calculation agent will determine the “Periodic Return” of the Nasdaq-100 Index^® for the Reference Period then ended by applying the following formula. The result will be rounded to the nearest one hundredth of a decimal place and then expressed as a percentage:

Ending Level - Starting Level

Starting Level

where the “Starting Level” for the initial Reference Period will be the closing level of the Nasdaq-100 Index^® on the Pricing Date, or 1,400.00; the “Starting Level” for each subsequent Reference Period is the Ending Level for the immediately preceding Reference Period; and the “Ending Level” for each Reference Period is the closing level of the Nasdaq-100 Index^® on the applicable Reset Date, or if that day is not a Business Day (as defined below), the closing level of the Nasdaq-100 Index^® on the next following Business Day. The “closing level” of the Nasdaq-100 Index^® on any Business Day means the level of the Nasdaq-100 Index^® at the regular official weekday close of any and all relevant exchanges and/or markets.

Except for the payment of the principal amount and the Minimum Supplemental Redemption Amount at maturity, you will be exposed to unlimited declines in the Periodic Return for any Reference Period. On the Pricing Date, we set a cap of 8.65%, or the “Return Cap,” which limits any increases in the Periodic Return of the Nasdaq-100 Index^® to that rate. For any Reference Period in which the Periodic Return is greater than the Return Cap, the Periodic Return for that Reference Period will be deemed to be the Return Cap, and for that Reference Period you will receive only the benefit of the increase in value up to the Return Cap.

PS-4

Table of Contents

The Index Return

After the close of the market on the last Reset Date, the calculation agent will determine any Supplemental Redemption Amount above the Minimum Supplemental Redemption Amount payable to you at maturity based on the following formula:

Principal Amount x Index Return

The “Index Return” is the compounded value of the 20 Periodic Returns computed in the following manner, rounded to four decimal places and then expressed as a percentage:

[The product of (1.00 + the Periodic Return) for each Reference Period] - 1.00

The Supplemental Redemption Amount will be fixed after the close of the market on the last Reset Date. The period of time between the last Reset Date and the maturity date is not part of a Reference Period, and, therefore, changes in the Nasdaq-100 Index^® during that period will not affect the Supplemental Redemption Amount payable to you at maturity. If these calculations produce a Supplemental Redemption Amount that is less than the Minimum Supplemental Redemption Amount, we will pay you a Supplemental Redemption Amount equal to the Minimum Supplemental Redemption Amount.

The notes provide less opportunity for appreciation than an investment tied directly to the performance of the Nasdaq-100 Index^® because the Return Cap limits the appreciation in the Nasdaq-100 Index^® used to calculate the Periodic Return. Because of the Return Cap, the Index Return cannot be more than approximately 425.53% (a maximum value that represents an increase of the Nasdaq-100 Index^® up to the Return Cap for each Reference Period).

You should consider the possibility that an investment in the notes will not result in a gain above the Minimum Supplemental Redemption Amount even if the level of the Nasdaq-100 Index^® increases during one or more Reference Periods or even if the level of the Nasdaq-100 Index^® as of the final scheduled Reset Date is greater than the level of the Nasdaq-100 Index^® on the Pricing Date.

PS-5

Table of Contents

Examples

The Index Return depends on the closing level of the Nasdaq-100 Index^® as of each Reset Date. Because the closing level of the Nasdaq-100 Index^® may be subject to significant variations over the term of the notes, it is not possible to present a chart or table illustrating a complete range of possible payments on the maturity date. The examples of hypothetical payment calculations that follow are intended to illustrate the effect of general trends in the level of the Nasdaq-100 Index^® on the Supplemental Redemption Amount payable at maturity. Because these examples are based on hypothetical terms and assumptions, such as the specific closing levels of the Nasdaq-100 Index^® as of the indicated Reset Dates, the returns set forth in the tables may not reflect the actual returns of the notes. Each of the hypothetical examples is based upon an initial price to the public of $1,000 for each note, an initial Starting Level of the Nasdaq-100 Index^® of 1,400.00, a Return Cap of 8.65%, a Minimum Supplemental Redemption Amount of 5.00% of the principal amount of notes, and Reference Periods ending on the 17th day of the months indicated.

In each example set forth below, for any Reference Period where the indicated Periodic Return is in excess of 8.65%, the Periodic Return for such Reference Period used in the calculation of the Index Return shall be the Return Cap of 8.65%. The Nasdaq-100 Index^® levels illustrated in each example have been rounded to the nearest whole number. The pretax annualized rates of return set forth after each example are calculated as to purchases of the notes made in the original public offering, on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months, with annual compounding.

Table of Contents

Who will determine the Supplemental Redemption Amount and the amounts due at maturity?

A calculation agent will make all the calculations associated with determining the Supplemental Redemption Amount and the amounts due at maturity. We have appointed our affiliate, Banc of America Securities LLC, or “BAS,” to act as calculation agent. See the section entitled “Description of the Notes – Role of the Calculation Agent.”

What is the Nasdaq-100 Index^®, and who determines it?

The Nasdaq-100 Index^® is a modified capitalization-weighted index of 100 of the largest and most actively traded stocks of non-financial companies listed on The Nasdaq National Market tier of the Nasdaq Market System. The Nasdaq-100 Index^® was first published in January 1985 and includes companies across a variety of major industry groups. The Nasdaq-100 Index^® is determined, comprised, and calculated by The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. without regard to the notes. The Nasdaq-100 Index^® is described further in the section entitled “Nasdaq-100 Index^®.”

How has the Nasdaq-100 Index^® performed historically?

There have been significant fluctuations up and down in the Nasdaq-100 Index^®. The table on page PS-30 shows the quarterly performance of the Nasdaq-100 Index^® for the calendar years 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, the first, second and third calendar quarters of 2003, and the fourth calendar quarter of 2003 through December 17, 2003. The table in Annex A sets forth the value of the Nasdaq-100 Index^® for the calendar quarters from the second quarter of 1985 through the third quarter of 2003. However, it is not possible to accurately predict how the Nasdaq-100 Index^® or the notes will perform in the future. Past performance of the Nasdaq-100 Index^® is not necessarily indicative of future results for any other period.

How will I be able to find the Nasdaq-100 Index^® level at any point in time?

You can obtain the Nasdaq-100 Index^® level from the Bloomberg^® service under the symbol “^NDX,” the Nasdaq^® website, www.nasdaq.com, as well as from The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and the Financial Times.

Will I have an interest in the stocks that are included in the Nasdaq-100 Index^®?

No, an investment in the notes does not entitle you to any ownership interest in the stocks of the companies included in the Nasdaq-100 Index^®.

Who are the selling agents for the notes?

Our affiliates, Banc of America Investment Services, Inc., or “BAI,” and BAS, are acting as our selling agents in connection with this offering and will receive a commission based on the total principal amount of notes sold. In this capacity, neither BAI nor BAS is your fiduciary or advisor, and you should not rely upon any communication from BAI or BAS in connection with the notes as investment advice or a recommendation to purchase the notes. You should make your own investment decision regarding the notes after consulting with your legal, tax, and other advisers.

PS-14

Table of Contents

How are the notes being offered?

The selling agents are offering the notes, as agents, to selected investors on a best efforts basis. We have registered the notes with the Securities and Exchange Commission in the United States. However, we are not registering the notes for public distribution in any jurisdiction other than the United States. The selling agents may solicit offers to purchase the notes from non-United States investors in reliance on available private placement exemptions. See the section entitled “Notices for Certain Non-United States Investors.”

Are the notes exchange-traded funds?

No, the notes are not part of an exchange-traded fund. The value of the notes will not rise or fall at the same rate, or in the same manner, as the Nasdaq-100 Index^®. We do not expect the notes to trade with the same volume or liquidity as certain exchange-traded funds.

How are the notes treated for United States federal income tax purposes?

For United States federal income tax purposes, the notes are classified as debt instruments that provide for contingent interest. As a result, the notes are considered to be issued with original issue discount, or “OID.”

You will be required to pay taxes on the notes over their term based upon an estimated yield for the notes, even though you will not receive any payments until maturity. We have determined this estimated yield in accordance with regulations issued by the U.S. Treasury Department, solely in order for you to determine the amount of taxes that you will owe each year as a result of your ownership of the notes. This estimated yield is neither a prediction nor a guarantee of what the actual Supplemental Redemption Amount will be, or whether the actual Supplemental Redemption Amount will exceed the Minimum Supplemental Redemption Amount. We have determined that this estimated yield will equal 3.67% per annum, compounded annually.

Additionally, you generally will be required to recognize ordinary income on the gain, if any, realized on a sale, upon maturity, or other disposition of the notes. See the section entitled “United States Federal Income Tax Summary.”

If you are a Non-United States Holder, payments on the notes generally will not be subject to United States federal income or withholding tax, as long as you provide us with the requisite forms.

Will the notes be listed on an exchange?

No. The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange, and a market for the notes may never develop.

Can the Reset Dates and the stated maturity date be postponed if a Market Disruption Event occurs?

Yes. If the calculation agent determines that, on any Reset Date, a Market Disruption Event (as defined below) has occurred or is continuing, that Reset Date will be postponed until the first Business Day on which no Market Disruption Event occurs or is continuing, but the delay will never be more than five Business Days. If a delay occurs, then the calculation agent instead will use the closing level of the Nasdaq-100 Index^® on that new Reset Date. If any scheduled Reset Date is postponed to the last possible day, but a Market Disruption Event occurs or is continuing on that day, that day nevertheless will be the Reset Date. If the closing

PS-15

Table of Contents

level of the Nasdaq-100 Index^® is not available on that last possible day, either because of a Market Disruption Event or for any other reason, the calculation agent will make a good faith estimate of the closing level of the Nasdaq-100 Index^® based on its assessment, made in its sole discretion, of the level of the Nasdaq-100 Index^® at that time. If the last scheduled Reset Date is postponed due to a Market Disruption Event, the maturity date for the notes also will be postponed by the same number of Business Days. See the section entitled “Description of the Notes – Market Disruption.”

Does ERISA impose any limitations on purchases of the notes?

Yes. An employee benefit plan subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (commonly referred to as “ERISA”) or a plan that is subject to Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code, or the “Code,” including individual retirement accounts, individual retirement annuities, or Keogh plans, or any entity the assets of which are deemed to be “plan assets” under the ERISA regulations, should not purchase, hold, and dispose of the notes unless that plan or entity has determined that its purchase, holding, and disposition of the notes will not constitute a prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.

Any plan or entity purchasing the notes will be deemed to be representing that it has made such determination.

Are there any risks associated with my investment?

Yes, an investment in the notes is subject to risk. Please refer to the section entitled “Risk Factors” in this pricing supplement and page S-3 of the attached prospectus supplement.

PS-16

Table of Contents

RISK FACTORS

Your investment in the notes entails significant risks. Your decision to purchase the notes should be made only after carefully considering the risks of an investment in the notes, including those discussed below, with your advisors in light of your particular circumstances. The notes are not an appropriate investment for you if you are not knowledgeable about significant elements of the notes or financial matters in general.

You may receive little yield on your investment. The notes differ from ordinary debt securities in that the rate of return is not an interest rate, such as a fixed rate of interest or the prime rate. Instead, the rate of return is primarily based on the future performance of the group of stocks making up the Nasdaq-100 Index^®. We cannot assure you that the Index Return will be positive. If the Index Return is less than 5.00%, the Supplemental Redemption Amount to be paid at maturity will be limited to the Minimum Supplemental Redemption Amount. Under such circumstances, you will receive only the principal amount and the Minimum Supplemental Redemption Amount at maturity.

Your yield may be less than the yield on a conventional debt security of comparable maturity. Any yield on your investment above the principal amount of your note may be less than the overall return you would earn if you purchased a conventional debt security with the same maturity date. As a result, your investment in the notes may not reflect the full opportunity cost to you when you take into account factors that affect the time value of money.

Your investment return is limited and may be less than a comparable investment in a Nasdaq-100 Index^® fund or the Nasdaq-100 Index^® stocks directly. If the level of the Nasdaq-100 Index^® declines during any Reference Period during the term of the notes, the Periodic Return for that Reference Period will be less than zero. The Index Return is based on the compounded value of the Periodic Returns during the 20 Reference Periods. This has a cumulative negative effect as the number of negative Periodic Return values increases prior to the maturity date of the notes. The likelihood that the Supplemental Redemption Amount will be limited to the Minimum Supplemental Redemption Amount increases as the number of negative Periodic Return values increases and as the decline in the level of the Nasdaq-100 Index^® in any Reference Period increases. The Supplemental Redemption Amount may be limited to the Minimum Supplemental Redemption Amount even if the level of the Nasdaq-100 Index^® increases during one or more Reference Periods during the term of the notes or if the level of the Nasdaq-100 Index^® as of the final scheduled Reset Date exceeds the level of the Nasdaq-100 Index^® on the Pricing Date. In fact, if the Nasdaq-100 Index^® declines in any single Reference Period by approximately 78.29% or more, the Supplemental Redemption Amount will be limited to the Minimum Supplemental Redemption Amount, regardless of the amount of the increases in the Nasdaq-100 Index^® in other Reference Periods. In such case, at maturity, you would receive only the principal amount of the notes and the Minimum Supplemental Redemption Amount. See the section entitled “Description of the Notes – Payment at Maturity; Supplemental Redemption Amount.” In addition, due to the Return Cap, the return on your investment in the notes may not fully reflect any increase in the market values of the stocks included in the Nasdaq-100 Index^®. Finally, a direct investment in an Nasdaq-100 Index^® fund or the stocks directly would allow you to receive the full benefit of any appreciation in the price of the shares, as well as in any dividends paid by those shares.

We cannot assure you that a trading market for your notes will ever develop or be maintained. We will not list the notes on any securities exchange. We cannot predict how the notes will trade in the secondary market or whether such market will be liquid or illiquid. The number of potential buyers of the notes in any secondary market may be limited. If you sell your notes prior to maturity, you may find that the market value of the notes is less than the principal amount of the notes. Under ordinary market conditions, BAS intends to indicate

prices on the notes on request; however, there can be no assurance at which price such a bid would be made. BAS may discontinue buying and selling the notes on the secondary market at any time.

If you attempt to sell the notes prior to maturity, the market value of the notes, if any, may be less than the principal amount of the notes. Unlike savings accounts, certificates of deposit, and other similar investment products, you have no right to redeem the notes prior to maturity. If you wish to liquidate your investment in the notes prior to maturity, your only option would be to sell the notes. At that time, there may be a very illiquid market for the notes or no market at all. Even if you were able to sell your notes, there are many factors outside of our control that may affect the market value of the notes, some of which, but not all, are stated below. Some of these factors are interrelated in complex ways. As a result, the effect of any one factor may be offset or magnified by the effect of another factor. The following paragraphs describe the expected impact on the market value of the notes given a change in a specific factor, assuming all other conditions remain constant.

PS-18

Table of Contents

In general, assuming all relevant factors are held constant, we expect that the effect on the trading value of the notes of a given change in most of the factors listed above will be less if it occurs later in the term of the notes than if it occurs earlier in the term of the notes. However, we expect that the effect on the trading value of the notes of a given change in the level of the Nasdaq-100 Index^® will be greater if it occurs later in the term of the notes than if it occurs earlier in the term.

Changes in our credit ratings are expected to affect the value of the notes. Our credit ratings are an assessment of our ability to pay our obligations. Consequently, real or anticipated changes in our credit ratings may affect the trading value of the notes. However, because your return on the notes depends upon factors in addition to our ability to pay our obligations, such as the percentage increase in the value of the Nasdaq-100 Index^®, an improvement in our credit ratings will not reduce the other investment risks related to the notes.

Hedging activities may affect the Supplemental Redemption Amount and the market value of the notes. Hedging activities we or one or more of our affiliates, including BAI or BAS, may engage in may affect the level of the Nasdaq-100 Index^® and, accordingly, increase or decrease the market value of the notes prior to maturity and the Supplemental Redemption Amount you would receive at maturity. In addition, we or one or more of our affiliates, including BAI or BAS, may purchase or otherwise acquire a long or short position in the notes. We or one of our affiliates, including BAI or BAS, may hold or resell the notes. Although we have no reason to believe that any of those activities will have a material impact on the level of the Nasdaq-100 Index^®, we cannot assure you that these activities will not affect such level and the market value of the notes prior to maturity or the Supplemental Redemption Amount payable at maturity.

You have no shareholder rights, no rights to receive any shares of the Nasdaq-100 Index^® stocks, and are not entitled to dividends or other distributions on the Nasdaq-100 Index^® stocks. The notes are our debt securities. They are not equity instruments or shares of stock. Investing in the notes will not make you a holder of any of the Nasdaq-100 Index^® stocks. You will not have any voting rights, any rights to receive dividends or other distributions, or any other rights with respect to the Nasdaq-100 Index^® stocks. As a result, the return on your notes may not reflect the return you would realize if you actually owned the stocks included in the Nasdaq-100 Index^® and received the dividends paid or other

distributions made in connection with such stocks. Your notes will be paid in cash and you have no right to receive delivery of any Nasdaq-100 Index^® stocks.

We are not affiliated with any other Nasdaq-100 Index^® company and are not responsible for any disclosure by any other Nasdaq-100 Index^® company. While we currently, or in the future, may engage in business with companies represented by constituent stocks of the Nasdaq-100 Index^®, neither we nor any of our affiliates, including BAI and BAS, assume any responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of any publicly available information about any companies represented by constituent stocks of the Nasdaq-100 Index^® or the calculation of the Nasdaq-100 Index^®. You should make your own investigation into the Nasdaq-100 Index^® and the companies represented by its constituent stocks. See the section entitled “The Nasdaq-100 Index^®” below for additional information about the Nasdaq-100 Index^®.

None of The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc., any of its affiliates, or any Nasdaq-100 Index^® company is involved in this offering of the notes or has any obligation of any sort with respect to the notes. Thus, none of The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc., any of its affiliates, or any other Nasdaq-100 Index^® company has any obligation to take your interests into consideration for any reason, including taking any corporate actions that might affect the value of your notes.

Our business activities may create conflicts of interest with you. We or one or more of our affiliates, including BAI or BAS, may engage in trading activities related to the Nasdaq-100 Index^® and the Nasdaq-100 Index^® stocks that are not for your account or on your behalf. We and our affiliates from time to time may buy or sell the stocks included in the Nasdaq-100 Index^® or futures or options contracts on the Nasdaq-100 Index^® for our own accounts, for business reasons, or in connection with hedging our obligations under the notes. In addition, we expect to enter into an arrangement with our affiliate, Bank of America, N.A. (“BANA”), to hedge the market risks associated with our obligation to pay the amounts due under the notes. BANA expects to make a profit in connection with this arrangement. We do not intend to seek competitive bids for this arrangement from unaffiliated parties.

These trading activities may present a conflict of interest between your interest in your notes and the interests we and our affiliates may have in our proprietary accounts, in facilitating transactions, including block trades, for our other customers, and in accounts under our management. These trading activities, if they influence the level of the Nasdaq-100 Index^®, could be adverse to your interests as a beneficial owner of the notes.

We and our affiliates, including BAI and BAS, at present or in the future, may engage in business with Nasdaq-100 Index^® companies, including making loans to, equity investments in, or providing investment banking, asset management, or other services to those companies, their affiliates, and their competitors. In connection with these activities, we may receive information about those companies that we will not divulge to you or other third parties. One or more of our affiliates have published, and in the future may publish, research reports on one or more of the Nasdaq-100 Index^® companies. This research is modified from time to time without notice and may express opinions or provide recommendations that are inconsistent with purchasing or holding the notes. Any of these activities may affect the market value of the notes.

There may be potential conflicts of interest between you and the calculation agent. We have the right to appoint and remove a calculation agent. Our subsidiary, BAS, is the calculation agent for the notes and, as such, determines each Starting Level and Ending Level and calculates the Supplemental Redemption Amount. Under certain circumstances, these duties could result in a conflict of interest between BAS’ status as our subsidiary and its responsibilities as calculation agent. These conflicts could occur, for instance, in connection with the calculation agent’s determination as to whether a “Market

Disruption Event” has occurred, or in connection with judgments that it would be required to make in the event of a discontinuance of the publication of the Nasdaq-100 Index^®. See the sections entitled “Description of the Notes—Market Disruption” and “—Discontinuance of the Nasdaq-100 Index^®; Alteration of Method of Calculation.”

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

On October 14, 2003, we reported earnings for the quarter ended September 30, 2003. The press release containing that information was filed with the SEC on our Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Form 8-K”) dated October 14, 2003. The same day, we filed a second Form 8-K describing pending litigation and regulatory matters arising from trading in mutual funds in the Nations Funds family.

On October 27, 2003, we announced that we have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of October 27, 2003 with FleetBoston Financial Corporation, providing for the merger of FleetBoston with and into us (the “FleetBoston Merger”). We have filed additional information concerning the FleetBoston Merger on Form 8-K’s dated October 27, 2003, October 28, 2003, November 5, 2003, and December 5, 2003, and expect to file additional information with the SEC in the future.

Each of these Form 8-K’s is incorporated by reference into this pricing supplement. Copies of the Form 8-K’s are available over the Internet at the SEC’s home page at http://www.sec.gov.

DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES

General

The notes are part of a series of medium-term notes entitled “Medium-Term Notes, Series J” issued under the Senior Indenture, which we describe more fully in the accompanying prospectus and prospectus supplement. The following description of the notes supplements the description of the general terms and provisions of the notes and debt securities set forth under the headings “Description of Notes” in the prospectus supplement and “Description of Debt Securities” in the prospectus.

The aggregate principal amount of the notes is $57,600,000. The notes are issued in minimum denominations of $10,000 and increments of $1,000 in excess of $10,000. The notes will mature on December 23, 2008, but under limited circumstances, which we describe below, the stated maturity date may be postponed. See the section entitled “Description of the Notes – Market Disruption.”

We will not pay interest on the notes.

Prior to maturity, the notes are not redeemable by us or repayable at the option of any holder. The notes are not subject to any sinking fund. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Senior Indenture) with respect to the notes, holders may accelerate the maturity of the notes, as described under “Description of Debt Securities – Defaults and Rights of Acceleration” in the prospectus. In the event of an Event of Default, you will be entitled to receive only your principal amount, and you will not be entitled to payment of any Supplement Redemption Amount.

The notes will be issued in book-entry form only. The CUSIP number for the notes is 06050 MCV7.

Payment at Maturity; Supplemental Redemption Amount

On the Pricing Date, we set the Return Cap at 8.65%, and the calculation agent determined the Starting Level of the Nasdaq-100 Index^® for the first Reference Period to be 1,400.00, which is the closing level of the Nasdaq-100 Index^® on that date. For each Reference Period, the calculation agent will determine the applicable Starting Level and Ending Level of the Nasdaq-100 Index^®.

After the United States stock markets close on the last Reset Date, the calculation agent will determine the Index Return and the Supplemental Redemption Amount.

At maturity, you will be paid the principal amount of the notes and the Supplemental Redemption Amount.

The calculation agent will determine any Supplemental Redemption Amount above the Minimum Supplemental Redemption Amount by reference to the Periodic Returns of the Nasdaq-100 Index^® during the 20 Reference Periods described in the “Summary” section above. On each Reset Date, the calculation agent will determine the “Periodic Return” of the Nasdaq-100 Index^® for the Reference Period then ended by applying the following formula. The result will be rounded to the nearest one hundredth of a decimal place and then expressed as a percentage:

PS-22

Table of Contents

Ending Level - Starting Level

Starting Level

where the “Starting Level” for the initial Reference Period is the closing level of the Nasdaq-100 Index^® on the Pricing Date, or 1,400.00; the “Starting Level” for each subsequent Reference Period is the Ending Level for the immediately preceding Reference Period; and the “Ending Level” for each Reference Period is the closing level of the Nasdaq-100 Index^® on the applicable Reset Date, or if that day is not a Business Day, the closing level of the Nasdaq-100 Index^® on the next following Business Day.

Except for the payment of the principal amount and the Minimum Supplemental Redemption Amount at maturity, you will be exposed to unlimited declines in the Periodic Return for any Reference Period. However, you will benefit from increases in the Periodic Return of the Nasdaq-100 Index^®, but only up to the “Return Cap,” or 8.65%, which we set on the Pricing Date. For any Reference Period in which the Periodic Return is greater than the Return Cap, the Periodic Return for that Reference Period will be deemed to be the Return Cap, and for that Reference Period you will receive only the benefit of the increase in value up to the Return Cap.

After the close of the market on the last Reset Date, the calculation agent will determine any Supplemental Redemption Amount above the Minimum Supplemental Redemption Amount payable to you at maturity based on the following formula:

Principal Amount x Index Return

The “Index Return” is the compounded value of the 20 Periodic Returns computed in the following manner and expressed as a percentage, rounded to the nearest one hundredth of a decimal place:

[The product of (1.00 + the Periodic Return) for each Reference Period] - 1.00

The notes are principal protected, and they are entitled to the Minimum Supplemental Redemption Amount. As a result, if the calculation of the Supplemental Redemption Amount were to result in an amount that is less than the Minimum Supplemental Redemption Amount, or if it were to result in a negative number because the Nasdaq-100 Index^® has declined, the Supplemental Redemption Amount will be deemed to be equal to the Minimum Supplemental Redemption Amount. In such a case, you will receive only your principal amount and the Minimum Supplemental Redemption Amount at maturity.

Market Disruption

Each of the following will be a “Market Disruption Event” if, in the sole opinion of the calculation agent, that event materially affects the Nasdaq-100 Index^®:

PS-23

Table of Contents

For the purpose of this definition of Market Disruption Event:

If a Market Disruption Event occurs or is continuing on a day that would otherwise be a Reset Date, then the calculation agent will instead use the closing level of the Nasdaq-100 Index^® on the first Business Day after that day on which no Market Disruption Event occurs or is continuing. In no event, however, will any Reset Date be postponed by more than five Business Days. If any Reset Date is postponed to the last possible day, but a Market Disruption Event occurs or is continuing on that day, that day nevertheless will be the Reset Date, and the calculation agent will make a good faith estimate of the closing level of the Nasdaq-100 Index^® based upon its assessment of the level of the Nasdaq-100 Index^® at that time. If the last scheduled Reset Date is postponed due to a Market Disruption Event, the maturity date for the notes also will be postponed by the same number of Business Days.

When we refer to a “Business Day,” we mean a day that is a Business Day of the kind described in the accompanying prospectus supplement but that is not a day on which the principal securities market (or markets) on which the constituent stocks of the Nasdaq-100 Index^® is closed.

Discontinuance of the Nasdaq-100 Index^®; Alteration of Method of Calculation

If Nasdaq^® discontinues publication of the Nasdaq-100 Index^® and Nasdaq^® or another entity publishes a successor or substitute index that the calculation agent determines, in its sole discretion, is comparable to the discontinued Nasdaq-100 Index^® (such new index being referred to as a “Successor Index”), then the relevant closing levels shall be determined by reference to the Successor Index at the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, The Nasdaq National Market, or the relevant exchange or market for the Successor Index.

If the calculation agent selects a Successor Index, the calculation agent immediately shall notify us and the Senior Trustee, and the Senior Trustee will provide written notice of a change to the holders of the notes within three Business Days of such selection.

PS-24

Table of Contents

If Nasdaq^® discontinues publication of the Nasdaq-100 Index^®, and the calculation agent determines that no Successor Index is available, then the calculation agent will notify us and the Senior Trustee and shall calculate the appropriate closing levels. These calculations by the calculation agent will be in accordance with the formula for and method of calculating the Nasdaq-100 Index^® last in effect prior to such discontinuance. If a Successor Index is selected or the calculation agent calculates a level as a substitute for the Nasdaq-100 Index^®, that Successor Index or level will be substituted for the Nasdaq-100 Index^® for all purposes.

If at any time the method of calculating the Nasdaq-100 Index^® or a Successor Index, or the level thereof, is changed in a material respect, or if the Nasdaq-100 Index^® or a Successor Index in any other way is modified so that such index does not, in the opinion of the calculation agent, fairly represent the level of the Nasdaq-100 Index^® or such Successor Index had such changes or modifications not been made, then, from and after such time, the calculation agent will notify us and the Senior Trustee and shall make such calculations and adjustments as, in the good faith judgment of the calculation agent, may be necessary in order to arrive at a level of a stock index comparable to the Nasdaq-100 Index^® or such Successor Index, as the case may be, as if such changes or modifications had not been made, and calculate the closing levels with reference to the Nasdaq-100 Index^® or such Successor Index, as adjusted. Accordingly, if the method of calculating the Nasdaq-100 Index^® or a Successor Index is modified so that the level of such index is a fraction of what it would have been if it had not been modified (e.g., due to a split in the index), then the calculation agent shall adjust such index in order to arrive at a level of the Nasdaq-100 Index^® or such Successor Index as if it had not been modified (e.g., as if such split had not occurred).

Role of the Calculation Agent

The calculation agent has the sole discretion to make all determinations regarding the notes, including determinations regarding the Index Return, the Supplemental Redemption Amount, Market Disruption Events, Successor Indices, and Business Days. Absent manifest error, all determinations of the calculation agent will be final and binding on you and us, without any liability on the part of the calculation agent.

We have initially appointed our affiliate, BAS, as the calculation agent, but we may change the calculation agent at any time without notifying you.

Same-Day Settlement and Payment

The notes will be delivered in book-entry form only through The Depository Trust Company against payment by purchasers of the notes in immediately available funds. We will make payments of the principal amount and Supplemental Redemption Amount in immediately available funds so long as the notes are maintained in book-entry form.

Listing

The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange.

THE NASDAQ-100 INDEX^®

We have obtained all information regarding the Nasdaq-100 Index^® contained in this pricing supplement, including, its make-up, method of calculation, and changes in its components, from publicly available information. That information reflects the policies of, and is subject to change by, The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc., or “Nasdaq^®,” which owns the copyright and all other rights to the Nasdaq-100 Index^®. Nasdaq^® has no obligation to continue to publish, or may discontinue publication of, the Nasdaq-100 Index^®. The consequences of Nasdaq^® discontinuing publication of the Nasdaq-100 Index^® are discussed in the section entitled “Description of the Notes–Discontinuance of the Nasdaq-100 Index^®; Alteration of Method of Calculation.” We do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any of the information relating to the Nasdaq-100 Index^®.

The Nasdaq-100 Index^® is a modified capitalization-weighted index of 100 of the largest and most actively traded stocks of domestic and international non-financial companies listed on The Nasdaq National Market tier of the Nasdaq^®. The Nasdaq-100 Index^® was first published in January 1985 and includes companies across a variety of major industry groups. As of September 30, 2003, the major industry groups covered in the Nasdaq-100 Index^® (listed according to their respective capitalization in the Nasdaq-100 Index^®) were as follows: computer and office equipment (29.55%), computer software/services (27.73%), telecommunications (11.61%), biotechnology (10.69%), retail/wholesale trade (10.26%), health care (4.36%), services (2.99%), manufacturing (1.92%), and transportation (0.89%). Current information regarding the market value of the Nasdaq-100 Index^® is available from Nasdaq^® as well as numerous market information services. The Nasdaq-100 Index^® is determined, comprised, and calculated by Nasdaq^® without regard to the notes.

At any moment in time, the value of the Nasdaq-100 Index^® equals the aggregate value of the then-current Nasdaq-100 Index^® share weights of each of the Nasdaq-100 Index^® securities, which are based on the total shares outstanding of each such Nasdaq-100 Index^® security, subject in certain cases to rebalancing, multiplied by each such security’s respective last sale price on The Nasdaq Stock Market, and divided by a scaling factor (the “divisor”), which becomes the basis for the reported Nasdaq-100 Index^® value. The divisor serves the purpose of scaling such aggregate value (otherwise in the trillions) to a lower order of magnitude which is more desirable for Nasdaq-100 Index^® reporting purposes.

As a result of these calculations, each underlying stock’s influence on the value of the Nasdaq-100 Index^® is directly proportional to the value of its Nasdaq-100 Index^® share weight.

Computation of the Nasdaq-100 Index^®

To be eligible for inclusion in the Nasdaq-100 Index^®, a security must be listed on Nasdaq^® and meet the following criteria:

PS-26

Table of Contents

In addition, to be eligible for continued inclusion in the Nasdaq-100 Index^®, the security must have an adjusted market capitalization equal to or exceeding 0.10% of the aggregate adjusted market capitalization of the Index at each month end. In the event a company does not meet this criterion for two consecutive month ends, it will be removed from the Nasdaq-100 Index^® effective after the close of trading on the third Friday of the following month.

These Nasdaq-100 Index^® eligibility criteria may be revised from time to time by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., the corporate parent of Nasdaq^®, without regard to the notes.

The underlying stocks comprising the Nasdaq-100 Index^® are evaluated on an annual basis except under extraordinary circumstances which may result in an interim evaluation (the “Ranking Review”). Securities listed on Nasdaq^® which meet the above eligibility criteria are ranked by market value using closing prices as of the end of October and publicly available total shares outstanding as of the end of November. Index-eligible securities which already are in the Nasdaq-100 Index^® and which are in the top 150 eligible securities (based on market value) are retained in the Nasdaq-100 Index^®. Those securities that are ranked 101 to 150 in the Nasdaq-100 Index^® are also retained in the Nasdaq-100 Index^® provided that such securities were ranked in the top 100 eligible securities as of the previous Ranking Review. Securities not meeting such criteria are replaced. The replacement securities chosen are those index-eligible securities not currently in the Nasdaq-100 Index^® which have the largest market capitalization. Generally, the list of annual additions and deletions is publicly announced via a press release in the early part of December and replacements are made effective after the close of trading on the third Friday in December. On December 11, 2003, The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. released its annual re-ranking of the Nasdaq-100 Index^®, effective at the time that trading commences on Monday, December 22, 2003. A copy of that press release may be obtained from The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. at its website, www.nasdaqnews.com. Additionally, Nasdaq may periodically (ordinarily, several times per quarter) replace one or more component securities in the Nasdaq-100 Index^® due to mergers, acquisitions, bankruptcies, or other market conditions, or if the issuers of such component securities fail to meet the criteria for continued inclusion in the Nasdaq-100 Index^®. Moreover, if at any time during the year, a Nasdaq-100 Index^® security is no longer traded on Nasdaq^®, or is otherwise determined by Nasdaq^® to become ineligible for continued inclusion in the Nasdaq-100 Index^®, the security will be replaced with the largest market capitalization security not currently in the Nasdaq-100 Index^® and meeting the Nasdaq-100 Index^® eligibility criteria listed above.

PS-27

Table of Contents

In addition to the Ranking Review, the underlying stocks comprising the Nasdaq-100 Index^® are monitored every day by Nasdaq^® with respect to changes in total shares outstanding arising from secondary offerings, stock repurchases, conversions, or other corporate actions. Nasdaq^® has adopted the following quarterly scheduled weight adjustment procedures with respect to such changes. If the change in total shares outstanding arising from such corporate action is greater than or equal to 5.0%, such change is made to the Nasdaq-100 Index^® on the evening prior to the effective date of such corporate action or as soon as practical thereafter. Otherwise, if the change in total shares outstanding is less than 5.0%, then all such changes are accumulated and made effective at one time on a quarterly basis after the close of trading on the third Friday in each of March, June, September and December. In either case, the Nasdaq-100 Index^® share weights for such underlying stocks are adjusted by the same percentage amount by which the total shares outstanding have changed in such Nasdaq-100 Index^® securities. Ordinarily, whenever there is a change in the Nasdaq-100 Index^® share weights or a change in a component security included in the Nasdaq-100 Index^®, Nasdaq^® adjusts the divisor to assure that there is no discontinuity in the value of the Nasdaq-100 Index^® which might otherwise be caused by any such change.

Rebalancing of the Nasdaq-100 Index^®

The Nasdaq-100 Index^® is calculated under a “modified capitalization-weighted” methodology, which is a hybrid between equal weighting and conventional capitalization weighting. This methodology is expected to: (1) retain in general the economic attributes of capitalization weighting; (2) promote portfolio weight diversification (thereby limiting domination of the Nasdaq-100 Index^® by a few large stocks); (3) reduce Nasdaq-100 Index^® performance distortion by preserving the capitalization ranking of companies; and (4) reduce market impact on the smallest Nasdaq-100 Index^® securities from necessary weight rebalancings.

Under the methodology employed, on a quarterly basis coinciding with Nasdaq’s^® quarterly scheduled weight adjustment procedures, the underlying stocks comprising the Nasdaq-100 Index^® are categorized as either “Large Stocks” or “Small Stocks” depending on whether their current percentage weights (after taking into account such scheduled weight adjustments due to stock repurchases, secondary offerings, or other corporate actions) are greater than, or less than, or equal to, the average percentage weight in the Nasdaq-100 Index^® (i.e., as a 100-stock index, the average percentage weight in the Nasdaq-100 Index^® is 1.0%).

Such quarterly examination will result in a Nasdaq-100 Index^® rebalancing if either one or both of the following two weight distribution requirements are not met: (1) the current weight of the single largest market capitalization Nasdaq-100 Index^® security must be less than or equal to 24.0% and (2) the “collective weight” of those Nasdaq-100 Index^® securities whose individual current weights are in excess of 4.5%, when added together, must be less than or equal to 48.0%. In addition, Nasdaq^® may conduct a special rebalancing if it is determined necessary to maintain the integrity of the Nasdaq-100 Index^®.

If either one or both of these weight distribution requirements are not met upon quarterly review, or if Nasdaq^® determines that a special rebalancing is required, a weight rebalancing will be performed. First, relating to weight distribution requirement (1) above, if the current weight of the single largest Nasdaq-100 Index^® security exceeds 24.0%, then the weights of all Large Stocks will be scaled down proportionately towards 1.0% by enough for the adjusted weight of the single largest Nasdaq-100 Index^® security to be set to 20.0%. Second, relating to weight distribution requirement (2) above, for those Nasdaq-100 Index^® securities whose individual current weights or adjusted weights in accordance with the preceding step are in excess of 4.5%, if their “collective weight” exceeds 48.0%, then the weights of all Large Stocks will be scaled down proportionately towards 1.0% by just enough for the “collective weight,” so adjusted, to be set to 40.0%.

PS-28

Table of Contents

The aggregate weight reduction among the Large Stocks resulting from either or both of the above rescalings will then be redistributed to the Small Stocks in the following iterative manner. In the first iteration, the weight of the largest Small Stock will be scaled upwards by a factor which sets it equal to the average Nasdaq-100 Index^® weight of 1.0%. The weights of each of the smaller remaining Small Stocks will be scaled up by the same factor reduced in relation to each stock’s relative ranking among the Small Stocks such that the smaller the Nasdaq-100 Index^® security in the ranking, the less the scale-up of its weight. This is intended to reduce the market impact of the weight rebalancing on the smallest component securities in the Nasdaq-100 Index^®.

In the second iteration, the weight of the second largest Small Stock, already adjusted in the first iteration, will be scaled upwards by a factor which sets it equal to the average index weight of 1.0%. The weights of each of the smaller remaining Small Stocks will be scaled up by this same factor reduced in relation to each stock’s relative ranking among the Small Stocks such that, once again, the smaller the stock in the ranking, the less the scale-up of its weight.

Additional iterations will be performed until the accumulated increase in weight among the Small Stocks exactly equals the aggregate weight reduction among the Large Stocks from rebalancing in accordance with weight distribution requirement (1) and/or weight distribution requirement (2).

Then, to complete the rebalancing procedure, once the final percent weights of each of the Nasdaq-100 Index^® securities are set, the Nasdaq-100 Index^® share weights will be determined anew based upon the last sale prices and aggregate capitalization of the Nasdaq-100 Index^® at the close of trading on the Thursday in the week immediately preceding the week of the third Friday in March, June, September, and December. Changes to the Nasdaq-100 Index^® share weights will be made effective after the close of trading on the third Friday in March, June, September, and December and an adjustment to the Index divisor will be made to ensure continuity of the Nasdaq-100 Index^®.

Ordinarily, new rebalanced weights will be determined by applying the above procedures to the current Nasdaq-100 Index^® share weights. However, Nasdaq^® may from time to time determine rebalanced weights, if necessary, by instead applying the above procedure to the actual current market capitalization of the Nasdaq-100 Index^® components. In such instances, Nasdaq^® would announce the different basis for rebalancing prior to its implementation.

Closing Levels of the Nasdaq-100 Index^®

Since its inception, the Nasdaq-100 Index^® has experienced significant fluctuations. Any historical upward or downward trend in the level of the Nasdaq-100 Index^® during any period shown below is not an indication that the level of the Nasdaq-100 Index^® is more or less likely to increase or decrease at any time during the term of the notes. The historical Nasdaq-100 Index^® do not give an indication of future performance of the Nasdaq-100 Index^®. We cannot assure you that the future performance of the Nasdaq-100 Index^® or the constituent stocks of the Nasdaq-100 Index^® will result in holders of the notes receiving an amount greater than the outstanding face amount of the notes and the Minimum Supplemental Redemption Amount on the stated maturity date.

The table below sets forth the high, the low, and the last closing levels at the end of each calendar quarter of the Nasdaq-100 Index^® for the calendar years 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, as well as the first, second and third calendar quarters of 2003 and the fourth calendar quarter of 2003 through December 17, 2003.

Nasdaq-100 Index^® Quarterly Levels

Annex A sets forth the value of the Nasdaq-100 Index^® at the end of each calendar quarter from June 1985 through the third quarter of 2003 and the percentage change in the Nasdaq-100 Index^® over each period.

Following the terrorist attacks in New York and Washington, D.C., the United States financial markets were closed from September 11, 2001 through September 17, 2001. Since reopening, those markets, and the Nasdaq-100 Index^®, have been highly volatile. Those disasters, the generally unsettled international environment and related uncertainties, including the hostilities in Iraq, may result in financial markets generally and the Nasdaq-100 Index^® exhibiting greater volatility than in earlier periods. Before investing in the notes, you should consult publicly available sources for the levels and trading pattern of the Nasdaq-100 Index^®.

UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX SUMMARY

The following summary of certain United States federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership, and disposition of the notes is based upon laws, regulations, rulings, and decisions now in effect, all of which are subject to change (including changes in effective dates) or possible differing interpretations. It deals only with initial purchasers of the notes who hold notes as capital assets and does not deal with persons in special tax situations, such as financial institutions, insurance companies, regulated investment companies, dealers in securities or currencies, tax-exempt entities, persons holding notes in a tax-deferred or tax-advantaged account, persons holding notes as a hedge, a position in a “straddle” or as part of a “conversion” transaction for tax purposes, or persons who are required to mark-to-market for tax purposes. The discussion assumes that the notes constitute true indebtedness of the issuer for United States federal income tax purposes. If the notes did not constitute true indebtedness of the issuer, the tax consequences described below would be materially different. You must consult your own tax advisors concerning the application of United States federal income tax laws to your particular situation as well as any consequences of the purchase, ownership, and disposition of the notes arising under the laws of any other jurisdiction.

As used herein, the term “United States Holder” means a beneficial owner of a note that is for United States federal income tax purposes (1) an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States, (2) an entity which is a corporation or a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or of any political subdivision thereof (other than a partnership that is not treated as a United States person under any applicable Treasury regulations), (3) an estate the income of which is subject to United States federal income tax regardless of its source, (4) a trust if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (5) any other person whose income or gain in respect of the notes is effectively connected with the conduct of a United States trade or business. Notwithstanding the

PS-34

Table of Contents

preceding sentence, to the extent provided in Treasury regulations, certain trusts in existence on August 20, 1996, and treated as United States persons prior to such date, that elect to continue to be treated as United States persons also will be United States Holders. A “Non-United States Holder” is a holder that is not a United States Holder.

United States Holders—Income Tax Considerations

Interest and Original Issue Discount

The amount payable on the notes at maturity will depend on the performance of the Nasdaq-100 Index^®. Accordingly, the notes will be treated as “contingent payment debt instruments” for United States federal income tax purposes subject to taxation under the “noncontingent bond method.” As a result, the notes generally will be subject to the OID provisions of the Code and the Treasury regulations issued thereunder. Pursuant to such Treasury regulations, a United States Holder will be required to report OID or interest income based on a “comparable yield” and a “projected payment schedule,” as described below, established by us for determining interest accruals and adjustments in respect of a note. A United States Holder which does not use the “comparable yield” and/or follow the “projected payment schedule” to calculate its OID and interest income on a note must timely disclose and justify the use of other estimates to the Internal Revenue Service, or “IRS.”

A “comparable yield” with respect to a contingent payment debt instrument generally is the yield at which we could issue a fixed rate debt instrument with terms similar to those of the contingent payment debt instrument (taking into account for this purpose the level of subordination, term, timing of payments, and general market conditions, but ignoring any adjustments for liquidity or the riskiness of the contingencies with respect to the debt instrument). For example, if a hedge is available, the comparable yield is the yield on the synthetic fixed rate debt instrument that would result if the hedge is integrated with the contingent payment debt instrument. If a hedge is not available, but our similar fixed rate debt instruments trade at a price that reflects a spread above a benchmark rate, the comparable yield is the sum of the value of the benchmark rate on the issue date and the spread. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a comparable yield must not be less than the applicable federal rate based on the overall maturity of the debt instrument.

A “projected payment schedule” with respect to a contingent payment debt instrument is generally a series of expected payments, the amount and timing of which would produce a yield to maturity on such debt instrument equal to the comparable yield. In the case of the notes, the “projected payment schedule” per $1,000 principal amount of the notes consists of a single payment of $197.93 at maturity. This is the amount which is expected to be paid on the maturity date, consisting of the principal amount and the estimated Supplemental Redemption Amount. See “Tax Accrual Table.” Investors should be aware that this information is not calculated or provided for any purposes other than the determination of a United States Holder’s interest accruals and adjustments in respect of the notes. We make no representations regarding the actual amounts of payments on the notes.

Based on the comparable yield and the issue price of the notes, a United States Holder of a note (regardless of accounting method) generally will be required to accrue as OID the sum of the daily portions of interest on the note for each day in the taxable year on which the holder held the note, adjusted upward or downward to reflect the difference, if any, between the actual and projected amount of any contingent payments on the note, as set forth below. The daily portions of interest in respect of a note are determined by allocating to each day in an accrual period the ratable portion of interest on the note that accrues in the accrual period. The amount of interest on a note that accrues in an accrual period is the product of the comparable yield on the note (adjusted to reflect the length of the accrual period) and the adjusted issue price of the note at the beginning of the accrual period. The adjusted issue price of a note at

PS-35

Table of Contents

the beginning of the first accrual period will equal its issue price and for any accrual period thereafter will be (1) the sum of the issue price of such note and any interest previously accrued thereon by a holder (disregarding any positive or negative adjustments) minus (2) the amount of any projected payments on the note for previous accrual periods. The issue price of each note in an issue of notes is the first price at which a substantial amount of such notes has been sold (including any premium paid for such notes and ignoring sales to bond houses, brokers, or similar persons or organizations acting in the capacity of underwriters, placement agents, or wholesalers). Because of the application of the OID rules, a United States Holder of a note likely will be required to include interest income or OID in excess of actual cash payments received for certain taxable years.

A United States Holder will be required to recognize interest income equal to the amount of any positive adjustment (i.e., the excess of actual payments over projected payments) in respect of a note for a taxable year. A negative adjustment (i.e., the excess of projected payments over actual payments) in respect of a note for a taxable year (i) will first reduce the amount of interest in respect of the note that a United States Holder would otherwise be required to include in income in the taxable year and (ii) to the extent of any excess, will give rise to an ordinary loss equal to that portion of such excess as does not exceed the excess of (A) the amount of all previous interest inclusions under the note over (B) the total amount of the United States Holder’s net negative adjustments treated as ordinary loss on the note in prior taxable years. A net negative adjustment is not subject to the two percent floor limitation imposed on miscellaneous deductions under Section 67 of the Code. Any negative adjustment in excess of the amounts described above in (i) and (ii) will be carried forward to offset future interest income in respect of the note or to reduce the amount realized on a sale, exchange, or retirement of the note. Where a United States Holder purchases a note at a price other than the issue price thereof, the difference between the purchase price and the issue price generally will be treated as a positive or negative adjustment, as the case may be, and allocated to the daily portions of interest or projected payments with respect to the note.

If a contingent payment becomes fixed more than six months prior to maturity, a positive or negative adjustment, as appropriate, is made to reflect the difference between the present value of the amount that is fixed and the present value of the projected amount. A similar adjustment may be appropriate in certain circumstances in respect of the notes. For example, it may be possible to determine, based on the decline of the Nasdaq-100 Index^® in one or more Reference Periods, that the Supplemental Redemption Amount will be no more than the Minimum Supplemental Redemption Amount, regardless of whether the Nasdaq-100 Index^® increases in subsequent Reference Periods. In such a case, assuming more than six months remain prior to maturity, a negative adjustment would be made to reflect the difference between the present value of the principal amount of the notes and the present value of the projected amounts. Moreover, on any Reset Date it may be possible to determine that the amount payable at maturity will be less than the projected payment amount, even though the amount payable on the notes will not become fixed prior to the last Reset Date. In that circumstance, the IRS may deem it appropriate to adjust (using the methodology described above or another methodology) the amount of interest income a United States Holder would be required to recognize in a particular taxable year in respect of a note. However, until such time as the IRS sets forth rules dealing with that situation, we do not intend to make any such adjustments.

Tax Accrual Table

The following table sets forth the amount of interest that would be deemed to have accrued with respect to each $1,000 principal amount of the notes during each of the indicated accrual periods through the maturity date based upon the projected payment schedule and an estimated yield equal to 3.67% per annum (compounded annually)) that we have established

PS-36

Table of Contents

with respect to the notes. This information is provided solely for tax purposes, and we make no representations or predictions as to what the actual Supplemental Redemption Amount will be.

Hypothetical Supplemental Redemption Amount = $197.93 per $1,000 principal amount of notes.

Sale, Exchange, or Retirement

Upon a sale, exchange, or retirement of a note, a United States Holder generally will recognize taxable gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale, exchange, or retirement and such holder’s tax basis in the note. A United States Holder’s tax basis in a note generally will equal the cost thereof, increased by the amount of interest income previously accrued by the holder in respect of the note (disregarding any positive or negative adjustments). A United States Holder generally will treat any gain as interest income, and any loss as ordinary loss to the extent of the excess of previous interest inclusions over the total negative adjustments previously taken into account as ordinary losses, and the balance as long-term or short-term capital loss (depending upon the United States Holder’s holding period for the note). The deductibility of capital losses by a United States Holder is subject to limitations.

United States Holders—Backup Withholding and Reporting

Generally, payments of principal and interest, and the accrual of OID, with respect to the notes will be subject to information reporting and possibly to backup withholding. Information reporting means that the payment is required to be reported to the holder of the notes and the IRS. Backup withholding means that we are required to collect and deposit a portion of the payment with the IRS as a tax payment on your behalf. Backup withholding will be imposed at a rate of 28%.

Payments of principal and interest, and the accrual of OID, with respect to notes held by a United States Holder, other than certain exempt recipients such as corporations, and proceeds from the sale of notes through the United States office of a broker will be subject to backup withholding unless such United States Holder supplies us with a taxpayer identification number and certifies that its taxpayer identification number is correct or otherwise establishes an exemption. In addition, backup withholding will be imposed on any payment of principal and interest, and the accrual of OID, with respect to a note held by a United States Holder that is informed by the United States Secretary of the Treasury that it has

PS-37

Table of Contents

not reported all dividend and interest income required to be shown on its federal income tax return or that fails to certify that it has not underreported its interest and dividend income.

Payments of the proceeds from the sale of the notes to or through a foreign office of a broker, custodian, nominee, or other foreign agent acting on your behalf will not be subject to information reporting or backup withholding. If, however, such nominee, custodian, agent, or broker is, for United States federal income tax purposes, (1) a United States person, (2) the government of the United States or the government of any State or political subdivision of any State (or any agency or instrumentality of any of these governmental units), (3) a controlled foreign corporation, (4) a foreign partnership that is either engaged in a United States trade or business or whose United States partners in the aggregate hold more than 50% of the income or capital interests in the partnership, (5) a foreign person that derives 50% or more of its gross income for certain periods from the conduct of a trade or business in the United States, or (6) a United States branch of a foreign bank insurance company such payments will be subject to information reporting, unless (a) such custodian, nominee, agent, or broker has documentary evidence in its records that the holder is not a United States person and certain other conditions are met or (b) the holder otherwise establishes an exemption from information reporting.

A United States Holder that does not provide us with its correct taxpayer identification number may be subject to penalties imposed by the IRS. In addition, any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a refund or a credit against such holder’s United States federal income tax liability provided certain required information is furnished to the IRS.

Recently promulgated Treasury regulations require taxpayers that participate in “reportable transactions” to disclose such participation to the IRS by attaching Form 8886 to their tax returns and to retain a copy of all documents and records related to the transaction. In addition, organizers and sellers of such a transaction are required to maintain records, including lists identifying investors in the transaction, and must furnish those records to the IRS upon demand. A transaction may be a “reportable transaction” based on any of several criteria, one or more of which may be present with respect to an investment in the notes. Although we do not believe that the issuance of the notes constitutes a “reportable transaction” as defined in the regulations, whether an investment in the notes constitutes a “reportable transaction” for any investor depends on such investor’s particular circumstances. Investors should consult their own tax advisors concerning any possible disclosure obligation they may have with respect to their investment in the notes and should be aware that should we (or other participants in the transaction) determine that the investor list maintenance requirement applies to this transaction, we (or they) would comply with such requirement.

Non-United States Holders – Income Tax Considerations

Under present United States federal income tax law, and subject to the discussion below concerning backup withholding, any gain realized on the sale, exchange, or retirement of a note, or the payment by us, or any paying agent, of principal or interest, including OID, on a note owned by a Non-United States Holder is not subject to United States federal income or withholding tax provided that:

PS-38

Table of Contents

Payments to Non-United States Holders not meeting the requirements set forth above are subject to withholding at a rate of 30% unless (a) such holder is engaged in a trade or business in the United States and such holder provides us with a properly executed IRS Form W-8ECI (or successor form) certifying that the payments are effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States, or (b) such holder provides us with a properly executed IRS Form W-8BEN (or successor form) claiming an exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, withholding under the benefit of a tax treaty. To claim benefits under an income tax treaty, a Non-United States Holder must obtain a taxpayer identification number and certify as to its eligibility under the appropriate treaty’s limitations on benefits article.

Non-United States Holders – Backup Withholding and Reporting

Payments of principal and interest, and the accrual of OID, with respect to the notes and proceeds from the sale of notes held by a Non-United States Holder will not be subject to information reporting and backup withholding so long as such holder has certified that it is not a United States person and we do not have actual knowledge that such certification is false (or you otherwise establish an exemption). However, if a Non-United States Holder has not certified that it is not United States person or we have actual knowledge that such certification is false (and it has not otherwise established an exemption) such holder will be subject to backup withholding and information reporting in the manner described above in “United States Holders – Backup Withholding and Reporting.”
