only after delivery of such certifications. A separate certification shall be required in respect of each

a Sunday) on which the Clearing System as well as all relevant parts of the Trans-European Automated

(2)
Early Redemption for Reasons of Taxation. If as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the
laws or regulations of the Federal Republic of Germany or any political subdivision or taxing authority
thereto or therein affecting taxation or the obligation to pay duties of any kind, or any change in, or
amendment to, an official interpretation or application of such laws or regulations, which amendment or
change is effective on or after the date on which the last tranche of this series of Notes was issued, the
Issuer is required to pay Additional Amounts (as defined in § 7 herein) on the next succeeding Interest
Payment Date (as defined in § 3(1)), and this obligation cannot be avoided by the use of reasonable
measures available to the Issuer, the Notes may be redeemed, in whole, but not in part, at the option of
the Issuer, upon not more than 60 days', but not less than 30 days' prior notice of redemption given to
the Fiscal Agent and, in accordance with § 13 to the Holders, at their Early Redemption Amount (as
defined below), together with interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption.
However, no such notice of redemption may be given (i) earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date
on which the Issuer would be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts were a payment in respect of
the Notes then due, or (ii) if at the time such notice is given, such obligation to pay such Additional
Amounts does not remain in effect.
Any such notice shall be given in accordance with § 13. It shall be irrevocable, must specify the date
fixed for redemption and must set forth a statement in summary form of the facts constituting the basis
for the right of the Issuer so to redeem.

(3) Change of Control. If there occurs a Change of Control and within the Change of Control Period a
Rating Downgrade in respect of that Change of Control occurs (together cal ed a "Put Event"), each
Holder will have the option (unless, prior to the giving of the Put Event Notice referred to below, the
Issuer gives notice to redeem the Notes in accordance with § 5(2)) to require the Issuer to redeem that
Note on the Optional Redemption Date at its principal amount together with interest accrued to but
excluding the Optional Redemption Date.
For the purposes of such option:
"Rating Agency" means each of the rating agencies of Standard and Poor's Rating Services, a division
of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. ("S&P") and Moody's Investors Services ("Moody's") or any of
their respective successors or any other rating agency of equivalent international standing specified

A "Rating Downgrade" shall be deemed to have occurred in respect of a Change of Control if within the

5
Change of Control Period any rating previously assigned to BASF or the Notes by any Rating Agency is
(i) withdrawn or (ii) changed from an investment grade rating (BBB- by S&P/Baa3 by Moody's, or its
equivalent for the time being, or better) to a non-investment grade rating (BB+ by S&P/Ba1 by Moody's,
or its equivalent for the time being, or worse);
A "Change of Control" shall be deemed to have occurred at each time (whether or not approved by the
Board of Executive Directors or Supervisory Board of BASF) that any person or persons ("Relevant
Person(s)") acting in concert (as defined in § 30 (2) of the German Securities Acquisition and Takeover
Act (Wertpapiererwerbs- und Übernahmegesetz)) or any person or persons acting on behalf of any such
Relevant Person(s), at any time directly or indirectly acquire(s) or come(s) to own such number of the
shares in the capital of BASF carrying more than 50% of the voting rights;
"Change of Control Period" means the period ending 120 days after the occurrence of the Change of
Control; and
The "Optional Redemption Date" is the fifteenth day after the last day of the Put Period.

"Put Event Notice") to the Holders in accordance with § 13 specifying the nature of the Put Event and
the circumstances giving rise to it and the procedure for exercising the option set out in this § 5(3).
In order to exercise such option, the Holder must send to the specified office of the Fiscal Agent an early
redemption notice in text format (Textform, e.g. email or fax) or in written form ("Put Notice") within the
period of 45 days after a Put Event Notice (the "Put Period") has been given. In the event that the Put
Notice is received after 5:00 p.m. Frankfurt am Main time on the 45th after the Put Event Notice has
been given, the option shall not have been validly exercised. The Put Notice must specify (i) the total
principal amount of the Notes in respect of which such option is exercised and (ii) the securities
identification numbers of such Notes, if any. The Put Notice may be in the form available from the
specified offices of the Fiscal Agent in the German and English language and includes further
information. No option so exercised may be revoked or withdrawn. The Issuer shall only be required to
redeem Notes in respect of which such option is exercised against delivery of such Notes to the Issuer
or to its order.

(a) The Issuer may, upon notice given in accordance with clause (b), at any time redeem all or some
only of the Notes (each a "Call Redemption Date") at the Early Redemption Amount together with

date on which notice is given by the Issuer to the Holders.

Amount of a Note shall be its Final Redemption Amount.
(b) For purposes of subparagraph (4) of this § 5, the Early Redemption Amount of a Note shall be the
higher of (i) its Final Redemption Amount and (ii) the Present Value. The Present Value will be
calculated by the Calculation Agent by discounting the sum of the principal amount of a Note and the
remaining interest payments to October 6, 2031 on an annual basis, assuming a 365-day year or a 366-
day year, as the case may be, and the actual number of days elapsed in such year and using the
Comparable Benchmark Yield plus 0.15%. "Comparable Benchmark Yield" means the yield at the
Redemption Calculation Date on the corresponding euro denominated benchmark debt security of the
Federal Republic of Germany as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Note to
October 6, 2031, that would be used at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial

account of any present or future taxes or duties of whatever nature imposed or levied by way of
withholding or deduction by or on behalf of the Federal Republic of Germany or any political subdivision
or any authority thereof or therein having power to tax unless such withholding or deduction is required
by law. If such withholding is required by law, the Issuer will pay such additional amounts (the
"Additional Amounts") as shall be necessary in order that the net amounts received by the Holders,
after such withholding or deduction shall equal the respective amounts which would otherwise have
been receivable in the absence of such withholding or deduction; except that no such Additional
Amounts shall be payable on account of any taxes or duties which:
(a) are payable by any person acting as custodian bank or collecting agent on behalf of a Holder, or
otherwise in any manner which does not constitute a deduction or withholding by the Issuer from
payments of principal or interest made by it, or
(b) are payable by reason of the Holder having, or having had, some personal or business connection
with the Federal Republic of Germany and not merely by reason of the fact that payments in respect
of the Notes are, or for purposes of taxation are deemed to be, derived from sources in, or are
secured in, the Federal Republic of Germany, or
(c) are deducted or withheld pursuant to (i) any European Union Directive or Regulation concerning the
taxation of interest income, or (ii) any international treaty or understanding relating to such taxation
and to which the Federal Republic of Germany or the European Union is a party, or (iii) any
provision of law implementing, or complying with, or introduced to conform with, such Directive,
Regulation, treaty or understanding, or

7
(d) are payable by reason of a change in law that becomes effective more than 30 days after the
relevant payment becomes due, or is duly provided for and notice thereof is published in accordance
with § 13, whichever occurs later.
The flat tax (Abgeltungssteuer) which has been in effect in the Federal Republic of Germany since
January 1, 2009 and the solidarity surcharge (Solidaritätszuschlag) imposed thereon do not constitute a
tax as described above in respect of which Additional Amounts would be payable by the Issuer.

Market Indebtedness or under any certificate of indebtedness (with an initial maturity of more than
one year) or under any guarantees or suretyship given for any Capital Market Indebtedness or a

security being invoked, unless the Issuer shall contest in good faith that such payment obligation
exists or is due or that such guarantee or suretyship has been validly invoked, or if a security
granted in respect thereof is enforced on behalf of or by the creditor(s) entitled thereto, or
(d) the Issuer announces its inability to meet its financial obligations generally or ceases its payments,
or
(e) a court opens insolvency proceedings against the Issuer; such proceedings are instituted and have

its activities. The regulations of the SchVG apply with regard to the recall and the other rights and

FURTHER ISSUES, PURCHASES AND CANCELLATION
(1) Further Issues. The Issuer may from time to time, without the consent of the Holders, issue further
Notes having the same terms and conditions as the Notes in all respects (or in all respects except for
the issue date, interest commencement date and/or issue price) so as to form a single Series with the
Notes.
(2) Purchases. The Issuer may at any time purchase Notes in the open market or otherwise and at any
price. Notes purchased by the Issuer may, at the option of the Issuer, be held, resold or surrendered to
the Fiscal Agent for cancellation. If purchases are made by tender, tenders for such Notes must be
made available to all Holders of such Notes alike.
(3) Cancellation. All Notes redeemed in full shall be cancelled forthwith and may not be reissued or
resold.
§ 13
NOTICES
(1) Publication. All notices concerning the Notes will be made by means of electronic publication on the
internet website of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (www.bourse.lu). Any notice so given will be
deemed to have been validly given on the third day following the date of such publication.

(2) Notification to Clearing System. So long as any Notes are listed on the Luxembourg Stock
Exchange, subparagraph (1) shall apply. In the case of notices regarding the Rate of Interest or, if the
Rules of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange otherwise so permit, the Issuer may deliver the relevant
notice to the Clearing System for communication by the Clearing System to the Holders, in lieu of
publication as set forth in subparagraph (1) above; any such notice shall be deemed to have been
validly given on the seventh day after the day on which the said notice was given to the Clearing
System.

(3) Form of Notice. Notices to be given by any Holder shall be made by means of a declaration in text
format (Textform, e.g. email or fax) or in written form sent together with an evidence of the Holder's
entitlement in accordance with § 14(3) to the Fiscal Agent. Such notice may be given through the
Clearing System in such manner as the Fiscal Agent and the Clearing System may approve for such
purpose.

§ 14
APPLICABLE LAW, PLACE OF JURISDICTION AND ENFORCEMENT
(1) Applicable Law. The Notes, as to form and content, and all rights and obligations of the Holders and
the Issuer, shall be governed by German law.
(2) Submission to Jurisdiction. The District Court (Landgericht) in Frankfurt am Main, Federal Republic
of Germany shall have non-exclusive jurisdiction for any action or other legal proceedings
("Proceedings") arising out of or in connection with the Notes.

10
(3) Enforcement. Any Holder of Notes may in any Proceedings against the Issuer, or to which such
Holder and the Issuer are parties, protect and enforce in his own name his rights arising under such
Notes on the basis of (i) a statement issued by the Custodian with whom such Holder maintains a
securities account in respect of the Notes (a) stating the ful name and address of the Holder, (b)
specifying the aggregate principal amount of Notes credited to such securities account on the date of
such statement and (c) confirming that the Custodian has given written notice to the Clearing System
containing the information pursuant to (a) and (b) and (ii) a copy of the Note in global form certified as
being a true copy by a duly authorized officer of the Clearing System or a depository of the Clearing
System, without the need for production in such Proceedings of the actual records or the global note
representing the Notes. For purposes of the foregoing, "Custodian" means any bank or other financial
institution of recognized standing authorized to engage in securities custody business with which the
Holder maintains a securities account in respect of the Notes and includes the Clearing System. Each
Holder may, without prejudice to the foregoing, protect and enforce his rights under these Notes also in
any other way which is admitted in the country of the Proceedings.
