Legislation and Regulations Applicable to Financial Institutions: |
| The Bank is affected by legislation and regulations applicable to global financial institutions, which are undergoing significant change in the wake of the global financial crisis. New measures that have been proposed and adopted include more stringent capital and liquidity requirements, taxes on financial transactions, restrictions and taxes on employee compensation, limits on commercial banking activities, restrictions of types of financial products, increased internal control and transparency requirements, more stringent business conduct rules, mandatory reporting and clearing of derivative transactions, requirements to mitigate risks relating to OTC derivatives and the creation of new and strengthened regulatory bodies. New or proposed measures that affect or will affect the Bank include the Basel 3 and CRD4 prudential frameworks, the related requirements announced by the EBA, the designation of the Bank as a systemically important financial institution by the FSB, the French banking law, the E.U. Liikanen proposal and the Federal Reserve's proposed framework for the regulation of foreign banks. |

$\frac{1}{2}$ , $\frac{1}{2}$ ,
| 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 cost of risk. |
|---|
| 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. |

| 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), Notes may be redeemed prior to maturity at the option of the Issuer which may limit their market value,, 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 Notes may have a minimum trading amount and if, following the transfer of any Notes, a Noteholder holds fewer Notes than the specified minimum trading amount, such Noteholder will not be permitted to transfer their remaining Notes prior to redemption without first purchasing enough additional Notes in order to hold the minimum trading amount, 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 In certain circumstances Noteholders may lose the entire value of |
| their investment. | ||
|---|---|---|
| D.6 | Risk warning | 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. |
