RISK FACTORS

Investing in the securities offered using this prospectus involves risk. You should consider carefully the risks described below,
together with the risks described in the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus, and any risk factors included in the
attached prospectus, before you decide to buy our notes. If any of these risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition and results
of operations could suffer, and the trading price and liquidity of the securities offered using this prospectus could decline, in which case
you may lose all or part of your investment.

Risks related to the offering and owning the notes

Since TOTAL is a holding company and currently conducts its operations through subsidiaries, your right to receive payments on
the notes and the guarantee is subordinated to the other liabilities of TOTAL's subsidiaries.

TOTAL is organized as a holding company, and substantially all of its operations are carried on through subsidiaries. TOTAL's
principal source of income is the dividends and distributions it receives from its subsidiaries. On an unconsolidated basis, TOTAL's
obligations consisted of 33,927 million of debt as of September 30, 2010. TOTAL's ability to meet its financial obligations is dependent
upon the availability of cash flows from its domestic and foreign subsidiaries and affiliated companies through dividends, intercompany
advances, management fees and other payments. TOTAL's subsidiaries are not guarantors on the notes. Moreover, these subsidiaries and
affiliated companies are not required and may not be able to pay dividends to TOTAL. Claims of the creditors of TOTAL's subsidiaries
have priority as to the assets of such subsidiaries over the claims of creditors of TOTAL. Consequently, holders of Total Capital's notes
that are guaranteed by TOTAL are in fact structurally subordinated, on TOTAL's insolvency, to the prior claims of the creditors of
TOTAL's subsidiaries.

In addition, some of TOTAL's subsidiaries are subject to laws restricting the amount of dividends they may pay. For example, these
laws may prohibit dividend payments when net assets would fall below subscribed share capital, when the subsidiary lacks available profits
or when the subsidiary fails to meet certain capital and reserve requirements. For example, French law prohibits those subsidiaries
incorporated in France from paying dividends unless these payments are made out of distributable profits. These profits consist of
accumulated, realized profits, which have not been previously utilized, less accumulated, realized losses, which have not been previously
written off. Other statutory and general law obligations may also affect the ability of directors of TOTAL's subsidiaries to declare
dividends and the ability of our subsidiaries to make payments to us on account of intercompany loans.

Since the notes are unsecured, your right to receive payments may be adversely affected.

The notes will be unsecured. The notes are not subordinated to any of our other debt obligations, and therefore they will rank equally
with all our other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness (save for certain mandatory exceptions provided by French law). There is no
limitation on TOTAL's or Total Capital's ability to issue secured debt. As of September 30, 2010, TOTAL had approximately 275 million
of consolidated secured indebtedness outstanding and Total Capital had no secured indebtedness outstanding. If Total Capital, as issuer of
the notes, defaults on the notes or TOTAL, as guarantor, defaults on the guarantee, or after bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization, then,
to the extent the relevant obligor has granted security over its assets, the assets that secure that entity's debts will be used to satisfy the
obligations under that secured debt before the obligor can make payment on the notes or the guarantee. There may only be limited assets
available to make payments on the notes or the guarantee in the event of an acceleration of the notes. If there is not enough collateral to
satisfy the obligations of the secured debt, then the remaining amounts on the secured debt would share equally with all unsubordinated
unsecured indebtedness (save for certain mandatory exceptions provided by French law).

At any point in time there may or may not be an active trading market for our notes.

At any point in time there may or may not be an active trading market for our notes. We have not and do not intend to list the notes
on any securities exchange or automated quotation system. In addition, underwriters, broker-dealers and agents that participate in the
distribution of the notes may make a market in the notes as permitted by applicable laws and regulations but will have no obligation to do
so, and any such market-making activities with respect to the notes may be discontinued at any time without notice. If any of the notes are
traded after their initial issuance, they may trade at a discount from their initial offering price. Among the factors that could cause the notes
to trade at a discount are: an increase in prevailing interest rates; a decline in our credit worthiness; the time remaining to the maturity; a
weakness in the market for similar securities; and declining general economic conditions.

euro using the January 21, 2011 European Central Bank reference exchange rate of 1=$1.35 for a total amount of 370 million.

As of September 30, 2010, approximately 275 million of TOTAL's non-current financial debt was secured and approximately
21,291 million was unsecured, and all of TOTAL's current financial debt of 6,586 million was unsecured. As of September 30, 2010,
TOTAL had no outstanding guarantees from third parties relating to its consolidated indebtedness. For more information about TOTAL's
commitments and contingencies, see Note 23 of the Notes to TOTAL's audited consolidated financial statements in its Annual Report on
Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2009. Since September 30, 2010, Total Capital has issued $923 million (or approximately
689 million using the January 18, 2011 European Central Bank reference exchange rate of 1=$1.34) (after swaps) of non-current
financial debt. On January 21, 2011, Total Capital Canada Ltd. priced an issuance of $1.5 billion principal amount of guaranteed notes due
2014 (or approximately 1.1 billion using the January 21, 2011 European Central Bank reference exchange rate of 1=$1.35). The
transaction is expected to close on January 28, 2011.

Except as disclosed herein, there have been no material changes in the consolidated capitalization, indebtedness and contingent
