RISK FACTORS
Long-term "step-down" or "step-up" notes are subject to certain risks.
We may offer and sell "step-down" or "step-up" notes. A "step-down" note will pay a fixed interest rate for a given period (e.g., one year) but will then "step down" one or more times to a lower, predetermined rate. Similarly, a "step-up" note will pay a fixed interest rate for a defined period of time and will "step up" to a higher, predetermined rate. The initial rate paid on step-down or step-up notes is not the yield to maturity.
If your notes are step-down or step-up notes, the initial rate you receive may be below or above then-prevailing market rates. Such notes are also subject to secondary market risk because the secondary market for the notes may be limited and resale prices of such notes may, at a given time, be more or less than what you paid. In addition, if the notes are redeemable by us, you may not be able to reinvest the redemption proceeds in a comparable security at an effective interest rate as high as the interest rate on the notes being redeemed.
