The Programme provides that Notes may be listed or admitted to trading, as the case may be, on such other or further stock exchange(s) or markets as may be agreed between the relevant Issuer and
the relevant Dealer. Application may also be made to have certain Notes issued under the Programme accepted for trading in the Private Offerings, Resales and Trading through Automated Linkages

Consent under the Control of Borrowing (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Ordinances, 1959 to 1989 has been obtained in relation to the issue of the Notes by Crédit Agricole CIB FP and Crédit Agricole CIB
FG. This Base Prospectus is exempt from the requirements of the Prospectus Rules, 2008 issued by the Guernsey Financial Services Commission. Neither the Guernsey Financial Services
Commission nor the Policy Council of the States of Guernsey takes any responsibility for the financial soundness of the arrangement or for the correctness of any of the statements made or opinions
expressed herein with regard to Crédit Agricole CIB FP or Crédit Agricole CIB FG.
The Notes and the Guarantee (as defined below) have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the Securities Act) and may not be offered or sold in the
United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons except to certain qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act, certain institutional accredited
investors in reliance on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and to certain persons in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act. Prospective purchasers are hereby
notified that sellers of the Notes and Guarantee may be relying on the exemption from the provisions of Section 5 of the Securities Act provided by Rule 144A. See "Subscription and Sale".
Each of Crédit Agricole CIB FP, Crédit Agricole CIB FG and Crédit Agricole CIB FS have not registered, and will not register, as an "investment company" under the U.S. Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended (the Investment Company Act). Accordingly, the Notes issued by Crédit Agricole CIB FP, Crédit Agricole CIB FG or Crédit Agricole CIB FS may only be offered, sold, resold,
delivered or transferred within the United States, or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons, in compliance with the provisions of Section 39c)(7) of the Investment Company Act.
Any Issuer may agree with any Dealer that Notes may be issued in a form not contemplated by the Terms and Conditions of the Notes herein, in which event (in the case of Notes intended to be
admitted to trading on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange's regulated market) a Supplement to the Base Prospectus, if appropriate, will be made available which will describe the effect of the agreement
reached in relation to such Notes.
Prospective investors should be aware of the particular risks involved in investing in Notes (for a discussion of these risks see "Risk Factors"). In particular, prospective investors should be
aware that certain Notes may be redeemed at below par and should be prepared to sustain a partial or total loss of their initial investment in the Notes.
Any person (an Investor) intending to acquire or acquiring any securities from any person (an Offeror) should be aware that, in the context of an offer to the public, the Issuer may be responsible to
the Investor for the Base Prospectus, but only if the Issuer has authorised that Offeror to make the offer to the Investor. Each Investor should therefore enquire whether the Offeror is so authorised by
the Issuer. If the Offeror is not authorised by the Issuer, the Investor should check with the Offeror whether anyone is responsible for the Base Prospectus in the context of the offer to the public, and,
if so, who that person is. If the Investor is in any doubt about whether it can rely on the Base Prospectus and/or who is responsible for its contents it should take legal advice.
The rating of certain Series of Notes to be issued under the Programme may be specified in the applicable Final Terms. Whether or not each credit rating applied for in relation to relevant Series of
Notes will be issued by a credit rating agency established in the European Union and registered under Regulation (EC) No. 1060/2009 (as amended) (the CRA Regulation) will be disclosed in the
Final Terms.

SERVICE OF PROCESS AND ENFORCEMENT OF CIVIL LIABILITIES
Crédit Agricole CIB and Crédit Agricole CIB FS are corporations organised under the laws of France.
Crédit Agricole CIB FP and Crédit Agricole CIB FG are corporations organised under the laws of Guernsey.
All of the officers and directors named herein reside outside the United States and all or a substantial portion
of the assets of the Issuers and the Guarantor and of such officers and directors are located outside the United
States. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process outside France or
Guernsey, as the case may be, upon the Issuers, the Guarantor or such persons, or to enforce judgments
against them obtained in courts outside France or Guernsey, as the case may be, predicated upon civil
liabilities of the Issuers, the Guarantor or such directors and officers under laws other than the laws of France
or Guernsey, as the case may be, including any judgment predicated upon United States federal securities
laws.
In an original action brought in France predicated solely upon the US federal securities laws, French courts
may not have the requisite jurisdiction to adjudicate such action. Actions for enforcement of judgments of
US courts rendered against the French persons referred to in the preceding paragraph would require such
French persons to waive their right under Article 15 of the French Code Civil to be sued in France only.
Crédit Agricole CIB believes that no such French persons have waived such right with respect to actions
predicated solely upon US federal securities laws.
STABILISATION
In connection with the issue of any Tranche of Notes, the Dealer or Dealers (if any) named as the Stabilising
Manager(s) (or persons acting on behalf of any Stabilising Manager(s)) in the applicable Final Terms may
over-allot Notes or effect transactions with a view to supporting the market price of the Notes at a level
higher than that which might otherwise prevail. However, there is no assurance that the Stabilising
Manager(s) (or persons acting on behalf of a Stabilising Manager) will undertake stabilisation action. Any
stabilisation action may begin on or after the date on which adequate public disclosure of the final terms of
the offer of the relevant Tranche of Notes is made and, if begun, may be ended at any time, but it must end
no later than the earlier of 30 days after the issue date of the relevant Tranche of Notes and 60 days after the
date of the allotment of the relevant Tranche of Notes. Any stabilisation action or over-allotment must be
conducted by the relevant Stabilising Manager(s) (or persons acting on behalf of any Stabilising Manager(s))
in accordance with all applicable laws and rules.
