| regarding the | obligations under the Notes issued under the Programme. | |

| 1. | Credit Risk; | |
| 2. | Counterparty Risk; | |
| 3. | Securitisation; | |

| cost of risk. | Difficult market and economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on the operating environment for financial institutions and hence on BNPP's financial condition, results of operations and |
|
| Legislative action and regulatory measures taken in response to the global financial crisis may materially impact BNPP and the financial and economic environment in which it operates. |
||
| BNPP's access to and cost of funding could be adversely affected by a resurgence of the Euro-zone sovereign debt crisis, worsening economic conditions, further rating downgrades or other factors. |
||
| A substantial increase in new provisions or a shortfall in the level of previously recorded provisions could adversely affect BNPP's results of operations and financial condition. |
||
| BNPP may incur significant losses on its trading and investment activities due to market fluctuations and volatility. |
||
| BNPP may generate lower revenues from brokerage and other commission and fee-based businesses during market downturns. |
||
| Protracted market declines can reduce liquidity in the markets, making it harder to sell assets and possibly leading to material losses. |
||
| Significant interest rate changes could adversely affect BNPP's |
| revenues or profitability. | ||
|---|---|---|
| The soundness and conduct of other financial institutions and market participants could adversely affect BNPP. |
||
| BNPP's competitive position could be harmed if its reputation is damaged. |
||
| An interruption in or a breach of BNPP's information systems may result in lost business and other losses. |
||
| Unforeseen external events can interrupt BNPP's operations and cause substantial losses and additional costs. |
||
| BNPP is subject to extensive and evolving regulatory regimes in the countries and regions in which it operates. |
||
| Notwithstanding BNPP's risk management policies, procedures and methods, it could still be exposed to unidentified or unanticipated risks, which could lead to material losses. |
||
| BNPP's hedging strategies may not prevent losses. | ||
| BNPP may experience difficulties integrating acquired companies and may be unable to realise the benefits expected from its acquisitions. |
||
| Intense competition, especially in France where it has the largest single concentration of its businesses, could adversely affect BNPP's revenues and profitability. |
||
| D.3 | Key risks regarding the Notes |
In addition to the risks relating to the Issuer (including the default risk) that may affect the Issuer's ability to fulfil its obligations under the Notes, there are certain factors which are material for the purposes of assessing the market risks associated with Notes issued under the Programme, including that the Notes are unsecured obligations, the trading market for Notes may be volatile and may be adversely impacted by many events, an active secondary market may never be established or may be illiquid and that this may adversely affect the value at which an investor may sell its Notes, (investors may suffer a partial or total loss of the amount of their investment) the trading price of the Notes is affected by a number of factors including, but not limited to, the price of the relevant Underlying References, and volatility and such factors mean that the trading price of the Notes may be below the Final Redemption Amount, exposure to the Underlying Reference in many cases will be achieved by the Issuer entering into hedging arrangements and, in respect of Notes linked to an Underlying Reference, potential investors are exposed to the performance of these hedging arrangements and events that may affect the hedging arrangements and consequently the occurrence of any of these events may affect the value of the Notes, the occurrence of an additional disruption event or optional additional disruption event may lead to an adjustment to the Notes, or early redemption or may |
| result in the amount payable on scheduled redemption being different from the amount expected to be paid at scheduled redemption and consequently the occurrence of an additional disruption event and/or optional additional disruption event may have an adverse effect on the value or liquidity of the Notes, the Notes may be redeemed in the case of illegality or impracticability and such cancellation or redemption may result in an investor not realising a return on an investment in the Notes, the meetings of Holders provisions permit defined majorities to bind all Holders, any judicial decision or change to an administrative practice or change to English law or French law, as applicable, after the date of the Base Prospectus could materially adversely impact the value of any Notes affected by it, a reduction in the rating, if any, accorded to outstanding debt securities of the Issuer by a credit rating agency could result in a reduction in the trading value of the Notes, certain conflicts of interest may arise (see Element E.4 below). |
||
|---|---|---|
| In addition, there are specific risks in relation to Notes which are linked to an Underlying Reference and an investment in such Notes will entail significant risks not associated with an investment in a conventional debt security. Risk factors in relation to Underlying Reference linked Notes include: exposure to one or more index, adjustment events and market disruption or failure to open of an exchange which may have an adverse effect on the value and liquidity of the Notes and that the Issuer will not provide post-issuance information in relation to the Underlying References. In certain circumstances Noteholders may lose the entire value of their investment. |
||
| D.6 | Risk warning | See Element D.3 above. In the event of the insolvency of the Issuer or if it is otherwise unable or unwilling to repay the Notes when repayment falls due, an investor may lose all or part of his investment in the Notes. In addition, investors may lose all or part of their investment in the |
| Notes as a result of the terms and conditions of the Notes |
