Capitalized terms not defined herein have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Offering Circular. General The Notes will bear interest from October 15, 1993, payable semi-annually on each October 15 and April 15, beginning April 15, 1994, to the persons in whose names the Notes are registered at the close of business on the October 1 or April 1, as the case may be, next preceding such October 15 or April 15.

The Notes will be issued under the Fiscal and Paying Agency Agreement described in the accompanying Offering Circular. The Notes will be issued initially as book-entry notes. See "Description of the Notes—Book-Entry System." The Notes will be sold in denominations of $100,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Notes will constitute unsecured and subordinated debt obligations of the Bank and the Branch as a whole, subordinate and junior in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in the Notes, to the Series A Notes, to all deposit liabilities and other liabilities and obligations for borrowed money of the Bank and the Branch (including all deposit liabilities and other liabilities of the Bank wherever located), except those liabilities which by their terms rank pari passu with or junior to the Notes. See "Description of the Notes—Subordination". Under the terms of the Notes, the holders of the Notes will, by their purchase thereof, irrevocably waive their rights as "preferred creditors" under Section 606(4)(a) of the New York Banking Law and to any other preferences to which they may become entitled under Section 4(j) of the International Banking Act of 1978, as amended, and under any other similar law hereinafter enacted to the extent necessary to give effect to the subordination provisions of the Notes. See "Description of the Notes—Subordination" in the Offering Circular. The Notes will have certain limited Events of Default as set forth in "Description of Notes—Events of Default under the Series B Notes" in the Offering Circular with respect to the bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, moratorium or reorganization of the Bank or in the event of Special Measures with respect to the Bank or in the event that any State or Federal regulatory or judicial authority takes possession of the Branch or of any substantial part of the property of the Branch. S-2 Book-Entry Notes Upon issuance, all Notes will be in book-entry form represented by Global Securities. Global Securities representing the book-entry Notes will be deposited with, or on behalf of, The Depository Trust Company (the "Depositary") and registered in the name of a nominee of the Depositary. Notes will not be exchangeable for Certificated Notes, provided that if the Depositary is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as depositary and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Branch within 90 days, the Branch will issue Certificated Notes in exchange for the Global Securities. In addition, the Branch may at any time and in its sole discretion determine not to have Notes in book-entry form represented by the Global Securities, and, in such event, will issue Certificated Notes in exchange therefor. A further description of the Depositary's procedures with respect to Global Securities representing book- entry Notes is set forth in the attached Offering Circular under "Description of Notes—Book-Entry System". The Depositary has confirmed to the Branch, the Bank, the Underwriters and the Fiscal Agent that it intends to follow such procedures.

The Underwriters are obligated to take and pay for all the Notes if any are taken. The Underwriters initially propose to offer the Notes to the public at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this Offering Circular Supplement, and to certain dealers at a price which represents a concession not in excess of .625% of the principal amount of the Notes.

Certain of the Underwriters and their associates may be customers of, engage in transactions with, and perform services for, the Bank or the Branch in the ordinary course of business. The Bank and the Branch do not intend to apply for listing of the Notes on a national securities exchange, but have been advised by the Underwriters that they presently intend to make a market in the Notes, as permitted by applicable laws and regulations. The Underwriters are not obligated, however, to make a market in the Notes and any such market making may be discontinued at any time at the sole discretion of the Underwriters. Accordingly, no assurance can be given as to the liquidity of, or trading markets for, the Notes.
