5. PERFORMANCE OF FORMULA, EXPLANATION OF EFFECT ON VALUE OF INVESTMENT AND ASSOCIATED RISKS

The Warrants are settled in USD.

If on the Final Valuation Date the official closing price of the commodity Index is higher than or equal to its official closing level on the Initial Valuation Date, then the higher the performance of the index on Valuation Date(T), the higher the net value of the Warrant at expiration, subject to a minimum of USD 1.

If on the Final Valuation Date the official closing price of the commodity index is lower than its official closing level on the Initial Valuation Date, then the lower the performance of the Index on Valuation Date(T), the lower the value of the Warrant at expiration.

Holders of the Warrants will only make a positive return on their investment provided the net value of the Warrant exceeds the price paid for the Warrant.

Prior to expiry, the value of the Warrant is affected by numerous factors, including changes in the

value of an Underlying, time to expiry, interest and exchange rates, changes in dividend or coupon payments as well as levels of market volatility. These may have a net positive or negative impact on the value of the Warrants.

deflationary risk should be kept under control by the intervention of the ECB which has
announced the implementation of a more accommodative monetary policy and the use
of its balance sheet to support growth. The depreciation of the euro and falling oil prices
should help boost exports and stimulate domestic demand. The US economy should

$C.8$

Unless the Warrants are previously cancelled or otherwise expire early, the Warrants will entitle each holder of the Warrants (a Warrantholder) to receive a potential return on the Warrants, the settlement amount, which may be lower than, equal to or higher than the amount initially invested (see Element C.18).

Where:

  • the Issuer fails to pay or to perform its other obligations under the Warrants;

  • of insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding(s) affecting the Issuer,

the holder of any Warrant may cause the Warrants to be cancelled immediately and for the payment of an early termination settlement amount to become due to the Warrantholder.

The Warrantholders' consent shall have to be obtained to amend the contractual terms of the Warrants (except where the amendment is (i) to cure or correct any ambiquity or defective or inconsistent provision contained therein, or which is of a formal, minor or technical nature or (ii) not prejudicial to the interests of the Warrantholders or (iii) to correct a manifest error or proven error or (iv) to comply with mandatory provisions of the law) pursuant to the provisions of an agency agreement, made available to the Warrantholders upon request to the Issuer.

Ranking

Warrants will be direct, unconditional, unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Issuer and will rank pari passu without any preference among themselves and (subject to such exceptions as from time to time exist under applicable law) at least pari passu with all other outstanding direct, unconditional, unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Issuer, present and future.

Limitations to rights attached to the securities:

  • in the case of adjustments affecting the underlying instrument(s), the Issuer may amend the terms and conditions or in the case of the occurrence of extraordinary events affecting the underlying instrument(s), the Issuer may substitute the underlying instrument(s) by new underlying instrument(s), cancel or otherwise early expire the Warrants on the basis of the market value of these Warrants, or deduct from any due amount the increased cost of hedging, and in each case without the consent of the Warrantholders;

  • the Issuer may cancel or otherwise early expire the Warrants on the basis of the market value of these Warrants for tax or regulatory reasons and if the proportion between the outstanding Warrants and the number of Warrants initially issued is lower than 10 per cent.;

  • the rights to payment of any amounts due under the Warrants will be prescribed within a period of ten years from the date on which the payment of such amounts has become due for the first time and has remained unpaid; and

  • in the case of a payment default by the Issuer, Warrantholders shall not be entitled to take any steps or proceedings to procure the winding-up, administration or liquidation (or any other analogous proceeding) of the Issuer. Nevertheless, Warrantholders will continue to be able to claim against the Guarantor in respect of any unpaid amount.

Taxation

All payments in respect of Warrants or under the Guarantee shall be made free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for or on account of, any present or future

taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed,
levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or on behalf of any Tax Jurisdiction unless
such withholding or deduction is required by law.
In the event that any amounts are required to be deducted or withheld for, or on behalf
of, any Tax Jurisdiction, the relevant Issuer or, as the case may be, the Guarantor shall
(except in certain circumstances), to the fullest extent permitted by law, pay such
additional amount as may be necessary, in order that each Warrantholder, after
deduction or withholding of such taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges,
will receive the full amount then due and payable.
Where
Tax Jurisdiction means France or any political subdivision or any authority thereof or
therein having power to tax.
Governing law
Subject as provided below, the Warrants and any non-contractual obligations arising
out of or in connection with the Warrants will be governed by, and shall be construed
in accordance with, English law.
The Issuer accepts the exclusive competence of the courts of England in benefit of the
Warrantholders in relation to any dispute against the Issuer but accepts that such
Warrantholders may bring their action before any other competent court.

upon the occurrence of certain market disruptions delays in the settlement of
the Warrants may be incurred or certain modifications be made. Moreover, in

value of these Warrants, or deduct from any due amount the increased cost of
hedging, and in each case without the consent of the Warrantholders.
Payments (whether at expiration or otherwise) on the Warrants are calculated

changes in the value of the underlying(s), which may fluctuate. Potential

may receive no return and may lose all or a substantial portion of their
