Status of the Notes:
Perpetual Subordinated. Subordinated
as to both principal and interest to the
payment in full of all unsubordinated
obligations of the Issuer.
(i) The Notes and Coupons relating to
them
constitute
unsecured
subordinated obligations of the Issuer
and rank pari passu and without any
preference among themselves rateably
with al other subordinated obligations
of the Issuer with the exception of the
prêts participatifs granted to, and titres
participatifs issued by, the Issuer. If any
judgment is rendered by any competent
court declaring the judicial liquidation
(liquidation judiciaire) of the Issuer or
the Issuer is liquidated for any other
reason, the payment obligation of the
Issuer under the Notes and Coupons
relating to them shal be subordinated
to the payment in full of the
unsubordinated creditors (including
depositors) of the Issuer and, subject to
such payment in full, the holders of the
Notes and holders of the Coupons
relating to them wil be paid in priority to
any prêts participatifs granted to, and
any titres participatifs issued by, the
Issuer.
(i ) This does not in any way affect any
French law applicable to accounting
principles relating to the allocation of
losses or the duties of shareholders
and does not in any way affect the
rights of holders of the Notes and
Coupons relating to them to receive
payment of principal and interest under
the Notes or Coupons, as the case may
be, in accordance with the Conditions.
In the event of the Issuer incurring
losses, such losses wil be charged first
against accumulated profits ("report à
nouveau"), then against reserves, and
capital, and finally, to the extent
necessary, against subordinated loans
and interest thereon (including the
Notes and the Coupons) of the Issuer,
in order to allow the Issuer to comply

- 3 -


with
the
regulatory
requirements
applicable to banks in France,
especial y those relating to solvency
ratios, and in order to allow the Issuer
to continue its activities.
(i i) In the event of incomplete payment
of unsubordinated creditors on the
liquidation judiciaire of the Issuer, the
obligations of the Issuer in connection
with the Notes and the Coupons
relating to them wil be terminated by
operation of law. It is the intention of the
Issuer that the Notes shall, for
supervisory purposes, be treated as
supplementary capital (fonds propres
complémentaires) within the meaning of
Article 4 (c) of the CRBF Regulation
no.90-02 of 23 February 1990 as
amended ("Upper Tier 2 Capital") but
that the obligations of the Issuer and
the rights of the Noteholders under the
Notes shal not be affected if the Notes
no longer qualify as Upper Tier 2 or any
other
category
of
supplementary
capital.
(iv) The provisions of this paragraph 13
are governed by, and shall be
construed in accordance with, French
law.

For the purposes of the Notes only:


(i) The Issuer may, on any Interest
Payment Date, without the consent of
the holders of any Note or Coupon, by
giving at least 30 days' notice in
accordance with Condition 14 and on
or after the date on which the United
Kingdom has become a participating
Member State in the single currency of
the European Economic and Monetary
Union (as provided in the Treaty
establishing the European Community
(the "EC"), as amended from time to
time (the "Treaty")), or events have
occurred which have substantial y the
same effects (in either case, "EMU"),
redenominate al , but not some only, of
the Notes into Euro and adjust the
aggregate principal amount and the
Specified Denominations accordingly,
as described below. The date on which
such
redenomination
becomes
effective shall be referred to as the
"Redenomination Date".


(i ) The redenomination of the Notes
pursuant to sub-paragraph (i) above
shal be made by converting the
principal amount of each Specified
Denomination of Note from Sterling into
Euro using the fixed Sterling/Euro
conversion rate established by the
Council of the European Union
pursuant to applicable regulations and
rounding the resultant figure to the
nearest Euro 0.01 (with Euro 0.005
being rounded upwards). If the Issuer
so elects, the figure resulting from
conversion of the principal amount of
each specified Denomination of Note
using
the
fixed
Sterling/
Euro
conversion rate shall be rounded down
to the nearest Euro. The Euro
denominations of the Notes so

- 9 -


determined shall be notified to
Noteholders
in
accordance
with
Condition 14. Any balance remaining
from the redenomination with a
denomination higher than Euro 0.01
shal , subject to the approval of the
Secrétariat Général de la Commission
Bancaire, be paid by way of cash
adjustment rounded to the nearest
Euro 0.01 (with Euro 0.005 being
rounded
upwards).
Such
cash
adjustment will be payable in Euro on
the Redenomination Date in the
manner notified to Noteholders by the
Issuer.


(i i) Upon such redenomination of the
Notes, any reference relating to the
Notes in this Pricing Supplement and
the Conditions of the Notes to the
Sterling shal be construed as a
reference to Euro.
