SELECTED RISK FACTORS
An investment in the Notes involves significant risks. You should read the risks summarized below in
connection with, and the risks summarized below are qualified by reference to, the risks described in more
detail in the "Risk Factors" section beginning on page S-6 of the prospectus supplement. We urge you to
consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisers and to invest in the Notes only after you
and your advisors have carefully considered the suitability of an investment in the Notes in light of your
particular circumstances.

·
Issuer Credit Risk-- The Notes are our unsecured debt obligations, and are not, either directly or

indirectly, an obligation of any third party. Any payment to be made on the Notes, including any principal
protection provided at maturity, depends on our ability to satisfy our obligations as they come due. As a
result, the actual and perceived creditworthiness of Barclays Bank PLC may affect the market value of the
Notes and, in the event we were to default on our obligations, you may not receive the principal protection
or any other amounts owed to you under the terms of the Notes.

·
Certain Built-In Costs Are Likely to Adversely Affect the Value of the Notes Prior to Maturity--

Although you will not receive less than the principal amount of the Notes if you hold the Notes to maturity,
the Original Issue Price of the Notes includes the agent's commission and the cost of hedging our
obligations under the Notes through one or more of our affiliates. As a result, assuming no change in
market conditions or any other relevant factor, the price, if any, at which Barclays Capital Inc. and other
affiliates of Barclays Bank PLC will be willing to purchase Notes from you in secondary market transactions
may be lower than the Original Issue Price, and any sale prior to the Maturity Date could result in a
substantial loss to you.

·
Potential Conflicts--We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance of the

Notes, including hedging our obligations under the Notes. In performing these duties, the economic
interests of our affiliates of ours are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the Notes.

In addition, Barclays Wealth, the wealth management division of Barclays Capital Inc., may arrange for the
sale of the Notes to certain of its clients. In doing so, Barclays Wealth will be acting as agent for Barclays
Bank PLC and may receive compensation from Barclays Bank PLC in the form of discounts and
commissions. The role of Barclays Wealth as a provider of certain services to such customers and as
agent for Barclays Bank PLC in connection with the distribution of the Notes to investors may create a
potential conflict of interest, which may be adverse to such clients. Barclays Wealth is not acting as your
agent or investment adviser, and is not representing you in any capacity with respect to any purchase of
Notes by you. Barclays Wealth is acting solely as agent for Barclays Bank PLC. If you are considering
whether to invest in the Notes through Barclays Wealth, we strongly urge you to seek independent
financial and investment advice to assess the merits of such investment.

·
Lack of Liquidity--The Notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. Barclays Capital Inc. and

other affiliates of Barclays Bank PLC intend to make a secondary market for the Notes but are not required
to do so, and may discontinue any such secondary market making at any time, without notice. Even if
there is a secondary market, it may not provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade or sell the Notes
easily. Because other dealers are not likely to make a secondary market for the Notes, the price at which
you may be able to trade your Notes is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which Barclays Capital Inc.
and other affiliates of Barclays Bank PLC are willing to buy the Notes. The Notes are not designed to be
short-term trading instruments. Accordingly, you should be able and willing to hold your Notes to maturity.

·
Many Economic and Market Factors Will Impact the Value of the Notes--The value of the Notes will

be affected by a number of economic and market factors that may either offset or magnify each other,
including:

o
the time to maturity of the Notes;

o
interest and yield rates in the market generally;

o
a variety of economic, financial, political, regulatory or judicial events; and

o
our creditworthiness, including actual or anticipated downgrades in our credit ratings.

DESCRIPTION OF SURVIVOR'S OPTION

Upon request by the authorized representative of the beneficial owner of the Notes, Barclays Bank PLC will repay
those Notes prior to the Maturity Date following the death of the beneficial owner of the Notes (the ``Survivor's
Option''), provided such Notes were acquired by the deceased beneficial owner at least six months prior to the
date of the request. Upon the valid exercise of the Survivor's Option and the proper tender of the Notes for
repayment, Barclays Bank PLC will repay such Notes, in whole or in part, at a price equal to 100% of the principal
amount of the deceased beneficial owner's beneficial interest in the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest to the
date of repayment. For purposes of this section, a beneficial owner of Notes is a person who has the right,
immediately prior to such person's death, to receive the proceeds from the disposition of such Notes, as well as the
right to receive payment of the principal of the Notes.
To be valid, the Survivor's Option must be exercised by or on behalf of the person who has authority to act on
behalf of the deceased beneficial owner of the Notes under the laws of the applicable jurisdiction (including, without
limitation, the personal representative of or the executor of the estate of the deceased beneficial owner or the
surviving joint owner with the deceased beneficial owner).
The death of a person holding a beneficial ownership interest in the Notes: (1) with any person in a joint tenancy
with right of survivorship; or (2) with his or her spouse in tenancy by the entirety, tenancy in common, as
community property or in any other joint ownership arrangement, will be deemed the death of a beneficial owner of
those Notes, and the entire principal amount of the Notes (subject to the limitations described below) held in this
manner will be subject to repayment by Barclays Bank PLC upon request. However, the death of a person holding
a beneficial ownership interest in Notes as tenant in common with a person other than his or her spouse will be
deemed the death of a beneficial owner only with respect to such deceased person's interest in the Notes, and only
the deceased beneficial owner's percentage interest in the principal amount of the Notes will be subject to
repayment.
If the ownership interest in the Notes is held by a nominee for a beneficial owner or by a custodian under a Uniform
Gifts to Minors Act or Uniform Transfer to Minors Act, or by a trustee of a trust, or by a guardian or committee for a
beneficial owner, the death of the beneficial owner of the Notes will constitute death of the beneficial owner for
purposes of the Survivor's Option, if the beneficial ownership interest can be established to the satisfaction of
Barclays Bank PLC. In these cases, the death of the nominee, custodian, trustee, guardian or committee will not be
deemed the death of the beneficial owner of the Notes for purposes of the Survivor's Option.
Barclays Bank PLC has the discretionary right to limit the aggregate principal amount of the Notes as to which
exercises of the Survivor's Option will be accepted by it from all authorized representatives of deceased beneficial
owners in any calendar year, to an amount equal to 2.0% of the aggregate amount of the Notes, outstanding as of
the end of the most recent calendar year.
Barclays Bank PLC also has the discretionary right to limit to $250,000 the aggregate principal amount of Notes as
to which exercises of the Survivor's Option will be accepted by Barclays Bank PLC from the authorized
representative for any individual deceased beneficial owner of such notes in any calendar year. In addition,
Barclays Bank PLC will not permit the exercise of the Survivor's Option (a) for a principal amount less than $1,000,
or (b) if such exercise will result in a beneficial ownership interest in a note with a principal amount of less than
$1,000 outstanding.
An otherwise valid election to exercise the Survivor's Option may not be withdrawn. Elections to exercise the
Survivor's Option will be accepted in the order that they are received and approved by Barclays Bank PLC, except
for any election the acceptance of which would contravene any of the limitations described above. Notes accepted
for repayment through the exercise of the Survivor's Option will be repaid on the first Interest Payment Date that
occurs 60 or more calendar days after the date of the acceptance and approval by Barclays Bank PLC. Each
tendered Note that is not accepted in any calendar year due to the application of any of the limitations described in
the preceding paragraph will be deemed to be tendered in the following calendar year in the order in which all such
Notes were originally tendered. If a Note tendered through a valid exercise of the Survivor's Option is not accepted
by Barclays Bank PLC, the trustee, upon receipt of a valid written instruction from Barclays Bank PLC or its agent,
will deliver a notice to the registered holder that states the reason that Note has not been accepted for repayment.
To obtain repayment of the Notes pursuant to exercise of the Survivor's Option, the deceased beneficial owner's
authorized representative must complete the Survivor's Option form of notice ("Form of Notice") and provide the
following items to the broker or other entity through which the beneficial interest in the Notes is held by the
http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/312070/000110465911033759/a11-13677_20424b... 6/8/2011

deceased beneficial owner:

·
appropriate evidence satisfactory to Barclays Bank PLC that:

(1)
the deceased was the beneficial owner of the Notes at the time of death and his or her interest in the

Notes was acquired by the deceased beneficial owner at least six months prior to the request for
repayment,
(2) the death of the beneficial owner has occurred and the date of death, and

(3) the representative has authority to act on behalf of the deceased beneficial owner;

http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/312070/000110465911033759/a11-13677_20424b... 6/8/2011

Page 9 of 12

·
if the beneficial interest in the Notes is held by a nominee or trustee of, custodian for, or other person in a

similar capacity to, the deceased beneficial owner, evidence satisfactory to Barclays Bank PLC from the
nominee, trustee, custodian or similar person attesting to the deceased's beneficial ownership of that
Notes;
· a written request for repayment signed by the authorized representative of the deceased beneficial owner

with the signature guaranteed by a firm that is a participant in the Security Transfer Agents Medallion
Program, the New York Stock Exchange Medallion Signature Program or the Stock Exchange Medallion
Program (generally a member of a registered national securities exchange, a member of the Financial
Industry Regulatory Authority, or a commercial bank or trust company having an office in the United
States);
· tax waivers and any other instruments or documents that Barclays Bank PLC reasonably requires in order

to establish the validity of the beneficial ownership of the Notes and the claimant's entitlement to payment;
and
· any additional information Barclays Bank PLC requires to evidence satisfaction of any conditions to the

exercise of the Survivor's Option or to document beneficial ownership or authority to make the election and
to cause the repayment of the Notes.
In turn, the broker or other entity will deliver the completed Form of Notice and each of the above items to the
trustee, and the trustee will forward the Survivor's Option request to Barclays Bank PLC. The broker or other entity
will be responsible for disbursing payments received from the trustee, through the facilities of DTC, to the
authorized representative of the deceased beneficial owner. The Form of Notice may be obtained from Barclays
Bank PLC, 745 Seventh Avenue, New York, NY 10019, Attention: US-Syndicate, MTN Desk US, telephone: 212-
412-1535.
During any time in which the Notes are not represented by a global note and are issued in definitive form:
· all references in this section to participants and DTC, including the DTC's governing rules, regulations and

procedures, will be deemed inapplicable;
· all determinations that the DTC participants are required to make as described in this section will be made by

Barclays Bank PLC, including, without limitation, determining whether the applicable decedent is in fact the
beneficial owner of the interest in the Notes to be redeemed or is in fact deceased and whether the
representative is duly authorized to request redemption on behalf of the applicable beneficial owner; and
· all redemption requests, to be effective, must:

·
be delivered by the representative to Barclays Bank PLC and to the trustee;

·
be made by completing the Form of Notice in accordance with the related instructions; and

·
be accompanied by, if applicable, a properly executed assignment or endorsement, in addition to

all documents that are otherwise required to accompany a redemption request. If the record holder
of the Note is a nominee of the deceased beneficial owner, a certificate or letter from the nominee
attesting to the deceased's ownership of a beneficial interest in the Note must also be delivered.
Barclays Bank PLC retains the right to limit the aggregate principal amount of Notes as to which exercises of the
Survivor's Option will be accepted from all authorized representatives of deceased beneficial owners and from the
authorized representative for any individual deceased beneficial owner in any one calendar year as described
above. All other questions regarding the eligibility or validity of any exercise of the Survivor's Option generally will
be determined by Barclays Bank PLC, which determination will be final and binding on all parties.

UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX TREATMENT
The following discussion supplements the discussion in the prospectus supplement under the heading "Certain
U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations" and supersedes it to the extent inconsistent therewith. The following
http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/312070/000110465911033759/a11-13677_20424b... 6/8/2011

Page 10 of 12
discussion (in conjunction with the discussion in the prospectus supplement) summarizes certain of the material
U.S. federal income tax consequences of the purchase, beneficial ownership, and disposition of the Notes.
We intend to treat the Notes as indebtedness for U.S. federal income tax purposes and any reports to the Internal
Revenue Service (the "IRS") and U.S. holders will be consistent with such treatment, and each holder will agree to
treat the Notes as indebtedness for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The discussion that follows is based on this
approach.

http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/312070/000110465911033759/a11-13677_20424b... 6/8/2011
