Applicable Rate ................................
The Three-Year Floating Rate Notes will bear interest at a rate per annum,
reset quarterly, equal to LIBOR plus 0.460%, as determined by the Fiscal
Agent.
"LIBOR", with respect to an Interest Period, is the rate (expressed as a
percentage per annum) for three-month U.S. dollar deposits beginning on the
day that is two London Banking Days after the Determination Date that
appears on the Reuters "LIBOR01" Page as at approximately 11:00 a.m.
(London time) on the Interest Determination Date in question. If the Reuters
screen does not include such a rate or is unavailable on a Determination Date,
the Fiscal Agent will request the principal London office of each of the four
major banks in the London interbank market, as selected by the Fiscal Agent
(at the written direction of the Issuer), to provide such bank's offered
quotation (expressed as a percentage per annum) as of approximately 11:00
a.m., London time, on such Determination Date, to prime banks in the London
interbank market for deposits in a Representative Amount in U.S. dollars for a
three-month period beginning on the second London Banking Day after the
Determination Date. If at least two such offered quotations are so provided,
the rate for the Interest Period will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations.
If fewer than two such quotations are so provided, the Fiscal Agent will
request each of three major banks in New York City, as selected by the Fiscal
Agent (at the written direction of the Company), to provide such bank's rate
(expressed as a percentage per annum), as of approximately 11:00 a.m., New
York City time, on such Determination Date, for loans in a Representative
Amount in U.S. dollars to leading European banks for a three-month period
beginning on the second London Banking Day after the Determination Date. If
at least two such rates are so provided, the rate for the Interest Period will be
the arithmetic mean of such rates. If fewer than two such rates are so provided
then the rate for the Interest Period will be the rate in effect with respect to the
immediately preceding Interest Period.
3


"Determination Date", with respect to an Interest Period, will be the day that
is two London Banking Days preceding the first day of such Interest Period.
"Interest Period" means the period commencing on and including an interest
payment date and ending on and including the day immediately preceding the
next succeeding interest payment date.
"London Banking Day" means any day on which dealings in U.S. dollars are
transacted or, with respect to any future date, are expected to be transacted in
the London interbank market.
"Representative Amount" means the principal amount of not less than
US$1,000,000 for a single transaction in the relevant market at the relevant
time.
"Reuters LIBOR01 Page" means the display so designated on the Reuters
3000 Xtra (or such other page as may replace that page on that service, or such
other service as may be nominated as the information vendor, for the purpose
of displaying rates or prices comparable to the London Interbank Offered rate
for U.S. dollar deposits).
Interest Amount................................
The Fiscal Agent shall, as soon as practicable after 11:00 a.m. (London Time)
on each Determination Date, determine the Applicable Rate and calculate the
aggregate amount of interest payable in respect of the following Interest
Period (the "Interest Amount"). The Interest Amount shall be calculated by
applying the relevant rate to the principal amount of each Three-Year Floating
Rate Note outstanding at the commencement of the Interest Period,
multiplying each such amount by the actual number of days in the Interest
Period concerned divided by 360 and rounding the resultant figure upwards to
the nearest available currency unit. The determination of the Applicable Rate
and the Interest Amount by the Fiscal Agent shall, in the absence of willful
default, bad faith or manifest error, be final and binding on all parties. In no
event will the rate of interest on the Three-Year Floating Rate Notes be higher
than the maximu m rate permitted by law, provided, however, that the Fiscal
Agent shall be under no obligation to make such maximu m rate determination.
If the due date for any payment in respect of any Three-Year Floating Rate
Note is not a Business Day (as defined below), the Holder thereof will not be
entitled to payment of the amount due until the next succeeding Business Day,
and will not be entitled to any further interest or other payment as a result of
any such delay.
Interest on the Fixed Rate Notes will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day
year of twelve 30-day months.
If the due date for any payment in respect of any Fixed Rate Note is not a
Business Day (as defined below), the Holder thereof will not be entitled to
payment of the amount due until the next succeeding Business Day, and will
not be entitled to any further interest or other payment as a result of any such
delay.

The Hundred-Year Fixed Rate Notes will be senior obligations
of the Issuer and will rank equally in right of payment with all
existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness of the Issuer
(save for certain mandatory exemptions provided by French
law).
Additional Amounts ...........................................
All payments in respect of the Hundred-Year Fixed Rate Notes

law. If withholding or deduction is required by law, subject to
certain exceptions, the Issuer will pay additional amounts so that

deduction.
Tax Redemptions ................................................
The Issuer may redeem all, in whole or in part, of any series of
the Hundred-Year Fixed Rate Notes at a redemption price of
100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, to (but excluding) the redemption date, if the
Issuer or any surviving entity would become obligated to pay
certain additional amounts, as described above, as a result of
certain changes in tax laws or certain other circumstances.
The redemption of the Hundred-Year Fixed Rate Notes upon a
Change in Tax Law should not be a taxable event to Holders of
the Hundred-Year Fixed Rate Notes if the Hundred-Year Fixed
Rate Notes are properly treated as debt when redemption is
exercised. The redemption of the Hundred-Year Fixed Rate
Notes may, however, be a taxable event to Holders if the
Hundred-Year Fixed Rate Notes are treated as equity for Unites
States federal income tax purposes before the redemption. You
are urged to consult your own tax advisor regarding the
possibility that the redemption of the Hundred-Year Fixed Rate
Notes will be a taxable event.
Mandatory Redemption ................................ If, as of the Corporation Life Determination Date (as defined
below), the termination date of the Issuer's corporate life (as
such date may be modified or extended by the extraordinary
general shareholders' meeting in accordance with article 1844-6
of the French Code Civil, the "Corporation Life Expiration
Date") fal s prior to the Maturity Date of the Hundred-Year
Fixed Rate Notes, the Issuer will be obligated to exercise an
early redemption of the Hundred-Year Fixed Rate Notes in
whole on the date (the "Mandatory Early Redemption Date")

Life Expiration Date. The Corporation Life Determination Date
shall be the date that is 90 calendar days prior to the Mandatory
Early Redemption Date or, if such day is not a Business Day, on
8


the next preceding Business Day. The redemption amount shall
be 100% of the principal amount of the Hundred-Year Fixed
Rate Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if
any, to (but excluding) the Mandatory Early Redemption Date.
The notice period shall be not less than 30 nor more than 60
calendar days prior to such Mandatory Early Redemption Date.
As of the date of this pricing term sheet, the duration of the
Issuer is set at 99 years starting from November 19, 2004. As
such, unless the Issuer's corporate life is modified or extended,
the Corporation Life Determination Date will be April 23, 2103,
the Corporation Life Expiration Date will be November 18,
2103 and the Mandatory Early Redemption Date will be July 22,

The Fiscal Agency Agreement and the Hundred-Year Fixed
Rate Notes will be governed by the laws of the State of New
York.

In addition, the following important considerations apply to the Hundred-Year Fixed Rate Notes:
Risk Factors
The Hundred-Year Fixed Rate Notes will not mature until one hundred years after the original issue date

If the Issuer does not redeem the Hundred-Year Fixed Rate Notes prior to maturity, the Hundred-
Year Fixed Rate Notes will not mature until January 22, 2114 (approximately one hundred years after the
original issue date). You should consider the potential full lifetime of the Hundred-Year Fixed Rate Notes
when making an investment decision.
The Hundred-Year Fixed Rate Notes may not be respected as indebtedness for United States federal income
tax purposes

As described below under "U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations", the Hundred-Year Fixed
Rate Notes may not be respected as indebtedness for United States federal income tax purpos es. A
characterization of the Hundred-Year Fixed Rate Notes as equity may have adverse United States federal
income tax consequences.
Taxation in France
9



The following is a summary of certain French tax considerations relating to the purchase,
ownership and disposition of the Hundred-Year Fixed Rate Notes by a beneficial holder of the Hundred-
Year Fixed Rate Notes which (i) is not a French resident for tax purposes, (ii) does not hold the Hundred-
Year Fixed Rate Notes in connection with a permanent establishment or a fixed base in France and (iii)
does not currently hold shares of the Issuer and are not otherwise affiliated with the Issuer, including
within the meaning of Article 39,12 of the French General Tax Code (code général des impôts, the
"French General Tax Code") (such holder being hereafter referred to as a "Non-French Holder"). This
summary is based on the tax laws and regulations of France, as currently in effect and applied by the
French tax authorities, all of which are subject to change or to different interpretation. This summary is for
general information and does not purport to address all French tax considerations that may be relevant to
specific holders in light of their particular situation. Furthermore, this summary does not address any
French wealth tax, estate or gift tax considerations. Persons considering the purchase of Hundred-Year
Fixed Rate Notes should consult their own tax advisers as to French tax considerations relating to the
purchase, ownership and disposition of Hundred-Year Fixed Rate Notes in light of their particular
situation.
Withholding Tax on payments made by the Issuer
Payments of interest and other revenues with respect to debt securities issued on or after March 1, 2010
(other than debt securities which are consolidated (assimilables for the purpose of French law) and form a
single series with debt securities issued prior to March 1, 2010 having the benefit of Article 131 quater of
the French General Tax Code, the tax considerations of which are not described herein ) will not be subject
to the withholding tax set out under Article 125 A III of the French General Tax Code unless such
payments are made outside France in a non-cooperative State or territory within the meaning of Article
238-0 A of the French General Tax Code (a "Non-Cooperati ve State"). If such payments under the debt
securities are made in a Non-Cooperative State, a 75% withholding tax will be applicable (subject to certain
exceptions and to the more favorable provisions of any applicable double tax tre aty) by virtue of Article
125 A III of the French General Tax Code. The list of Non-Cooperative States is published in a ministerial
decree and updated annually.
Furthermore, pursuant to Article 238 A of the French General Tax Code, interest and other rev enues on
such debt securities are not deductible from the taxable income of the Issuer if they are paid or accrued to
persons established or domiciled in a Non-Cooperative State or paid to a bank account opened in a financial
institution located in such a Non-Cooperative State. Under certain conditions, any such non -deductible
interest and other revenues may be re-characterized as constructive dividends pursuant to Articles 109 et
seq. of the French General Tax Code, in which case such non -deductible interest and other revenues may be
subject to the withholding tax set out under Article 119 bis 2 of the French General Tax Code, at a rate of
30% or 75%, subject to more favorable provisions of any applicable tax treaty.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the 75% withholding tax set out under Article 125 A III of the
French General Tax Code, the non-deductibility of the interest and other revenues of such debt securities or
the withholding tax provided under Article 119 bis 2 of the French General Tax Code that may be levied as
a result of such non-deductibility, to the extent the relevant interest or revenues relate to genuine
transactions and are not in an abnormal or exaggerated amount, will apply if the Issuer can prove that the
principal purpose and effect of a particular issue of debt securities was not that of allowing the payments of
interest or other revenues to be made in a Non-Cooperative State (the "Exception"). Pursuant to French tax
administrative guidelines (Bulletin Officiel des Finances Publiques-Impôts BOI-INT-DG-20-50-20120912,
BOI-RPPM-RCM -30-10-20-50-20120912 and its annexes BOI-ANNX-000364-20120912 and BOI-
ANNX-000366-20120912 and BOI-IR-DOMIC-10-20-60-20130121) (the "Administrative Guidelines"),
an issue of debt securities will benefit from the Exception without Issuer having to provide any proof of the
purpose and effect of such issue of debt securities, if such debt securities are:
a.
offered by means of a public offer within the meaning of Article L. 411-1 of the French Monetary
and Financial Code or pursuant to an equivalent offer in a State other than a Non -Cooperative State. For
this purpose, an "equivalent offer" means any offer requiring registration or submission of an offer
document by or with a foreign securities market authority; or
