Application will be made in certain circumstances to list Notes issued under the Programme on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. However, unlisted

Notes will specify whether or not such Notes will be listed and, if so, the relevant stock exchange.
Notes may be issued either in dematerialised form ("Dematerialised Notes") or in materialised form ("Materialised Notes") as more fully described
herein.
Dematerialised Notes will at all times be in book entry form in compliance with Article L.211-4 of the French Code monétaire et financier. No physical

administered registered form (nominatif administré) in which case they will be inscribed in the accounts of the Account Holders designated by the
relevant Noteholders.
Materialised Notes will be in bearer materialised form only and may only be issued outside France. A temporary global certificate in bearer form without
interest coupons attached (a "Temporary Global Certificate") will initially be issued in connection with Materialised Notes. Such Temporary Global
Certificate will be exchanged for definitive Materialised Notes in bearer form with, where applicable, coupons for interest attached on or after a date
expected to be on or about the 40th day after the issue date of the Notes (subject to postponement as described in "Temporary Global Certificates issued
in respect of Materialised Bearer Notes") upon certification as to non US beneficial ownership as more fully described herein.
Temporary Global Certificates will (a) in the case of a Tranche intended to be cleared through Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg, be deposited
