Under the terms of the Warrant and Certificate Programme (the "Programme"), each of BNP Paribas Arbitrage Issuance B.V. ("BNPP B.V.") and
BNP Paribas ("BNPP" or the "Bank" and, together with BNPP B.V., the "Issuers" and each an "Issuer") may from time to time issue warrants
("Warrants") or certificates ("Certificates" and, together with the Warrants, "Securities") of any kind including, but not limited to, Warrants or

BNPP may issue U.S. Securities (as defined below). Each issue of Warrants will be issued on the terms set out herein which are relevant to such
Warrants under "Terms and Conditions of the Warrants" (the "Warrant Conditions") and each issue of Certificates will be issued on the terms set
out herein which are relevant to such Certificates under "Terms and Conditions of the Certificates" (the "Certificate Conditions" and together with
the Warrant Conditions, the "Conditions") and, in each case, on such final terms as will be set out in the final terms to be issued in respect of such
Securities (the "Final Terms"), a form of which is contained in this Base Prospectus. References herein to the Final Terms may include, in the case of
U.S. Securities, (x) a supplement to the Base Prospectus under Article 16 of the Prospectus Directive or (y) a prospectus.
The Securities shall be governed by either English law ("English Law Warrants" or "English Law Certificates", as the case may be, and, together,
the "English Law Securities") or French law ("French Law Warrants" or "French Law Certificates", as the case may be, and, together, the
"French Law Securities"), as specified in the relevant Final Terms, and the corresponding provisions in the Conditions will apply to such Securities.
Only English Law Securities will be U.S. Securities.
Securities issued by BNPP B.V. will be guaranteed by BNPP (in such capacity, the "Guarantor") pursuant to (i) a Deed of Guarantee, in respect of
English Law Securities (the "English Law Guarantee") or (ii) a garantie, in respect of French Law Securities (the "French Law Guarantee" and,
together with the "English Law Guarantee", the "Guarantees"), the forms of which are set out herein.
Except in the case of U.S. Securities, each of BNPP B.V. and BNPP has a right of substitution as set out herein.
A description of the Final Terms (which for the avoidance of doubt may be issued in respect of more than one series of Warrants or Certificates) is set
out herein on pages 35 to 57 (with respect to Warrants) and pages 148 to 173 (with respect to Certificates) and will specify with respect to each issue

or date (in the case of Warrants), the redemption date, whether they are interest bearing, partly paid or redeemable in instalments (in the case of
Certificates), the governing law of the Securities, whether the Securities are eligible for sale in the United States and certain other terms relating to the
offering and sale of the Securities. With respect to issues of English Law Securities, the Final Terms relating to such issue of Securities will be
attached to the Global Security, Rule 144A Global Security, Private Placement Definitive Security or Regulation S Global Security (each as defined
below).
Each issue of Securities will entitle the holder thereof on due exercise (in the case of Warrants) or on the Instalment Date(s) and/or the Redemption

Terms.
Prospective purchasers of Securities should ensure that they understand the nature of the relevant Securities and the extent of their exposure
to risks and that they consider the suitability of the relevant Securities as an investment in the light of their own circumstances and financial
condition. Securities involve a high degree of risk and potential investors should be prepared to sustain a total loss of the purchase price of
their Securities. See "Risk Factors" on page 20.

France which shall credit the accounts of the Holders (as defined in "Terms and Conditions of the Warrants" and "Terms and Conditions of the
Certificates"). No physical document of title will be issued in respect of French Law Securities. French Law Securities have been accepted for
clearance through Euroclear France, Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg and/or any other relevant clearing system.

represented by a one or more global Securities (each, a "Regulation S Global Security") issued and deposited with a common depositary on behalf
of Clearstream, Luxembourg and Euroclear and/or any other relevant clearing system. In the event that the Final Terms does not specify that

Risk Factors (Issuers)
There are certain factors that may affect each Issuer's ability to fulfil its
obligations under Securities issued under the Programme. These include the
following risk factors related to the Bank, its operations and its industry:
(i) Eight main categories of risks are inherent in the Bank's activities:

· Credit Risk;

· Market and Liquidity Risk;

· Asset-Liability Management Risk;

· Liquidity and Refinancing Risk;

· Insurance Underwriting Risk;

· Operational Risk;

· Compliance Risk; and

· Reputation Risk
(ii) Adverse market or economic conditions may cause a decrease in net
banking income or profitability.
(iii) The Bank may incur significant losses on its trading and investment
activities due to market fluctuations and volatility.
(iv) The Bank may generate lower revenues from brokerage and other
commission- and fee-based businesses during market downturns.
(v) A long term market decline can reduce liquidity in the markets,
making it harder to sell assets and possibly leading to material losses.
(vi) Significant interest rate variations could adversely affect the Bank's
net banking income or profitability.
(vii) A substantial increase in new provisions or a shortfall in the level of
previously recorded provisions could adversely affect the Bank's
results of operations and financial condition.
(viii) The Bank's competitive position could be harmed if its reputation is
damaged.
(ix) An interruption in or a breach of the Bank's information systems may
result in lost business and other losses.

substantial losses and additional costs.
(xi) The Bank is subject to extensive supervisory and regulatory regimes
in France, elsewhere in Europe, the U.S., the Asia Pacific region and
in the many countries around the world in which it operates;
regulatory actions and changes in regulatory regimes could adversely
affect the Bank's business and results.
(xii) The Bank's risk management policies, procedures and methods may
leave it exposed to unidentified or unanticipated risks, which could
lead to material losses.
