The Securities are not redeemable at the option of the holders of the Securities (the Securityholders) at any time and are not
redeemable at the option of the Issuer prior to the First Call Date, except in certain circumstances set out herein. Subject to
compliance with applicable regulatory requirements, the Securities may be redeemed at the option of the Issuer, in whole (but

DESCRIPTION OF THE SECURITIES AND THE GUARANTEE
The following description does not purport to be complete and is taken from, and is qualified in its entirety
by, the remainder of this document. Words and expressions defined in the "Conditions of the
Securities"below shall have the same meaning in this description.
Securities
Fixed Rate/Floating Rate Perpetual Non-cumulative Guaranteed
Securities.
The Securities will be eligible to be included in calculating the Tier 1
capital of Dexia Group.
Issuer
Dexia Funding Luxembourg S.A., a special purpose financing vehicle
incorporated under the laws of Luxembourg in the form of a limited
liability company.
Its articles of incorporation will restrict its activities to issuing securities
and to investing the proceeds thereof in loans or other instruments (other
than ordinary share capital) issued by any of the Dexia Group banking
entities. The Issuer will not carry out any activity falling within the scope
of the Luxembourg law of 5 April 1993 on the financial sector, as
amended.
Guarantor
Dexia SA, the parent company of the Dexia Group.
The Dexia Group provides financial services to the local public sector,
retail and private banking services and investment management and
insurance services in various parts of the world, mainly in Europe and in
the United States.
Interest Payments
Subject as described under "Waived Interest Payments", Interest Payments
on the Securities will be payable:
·
until the First Call Date annually in arrear, at a fixed rate of 4.892
per cent. per annum on their Current Principal Amount (calculated
on an unadjusted Actual/Actual basis); and
·
thereafter quarterly in arrear, at a rate equal to 3 month EURIBOR
plus a margin of 1.78 per cent. per annum (calculated on a modified
following adjusted Actual/360 basis).
Waived Interest Payments
If and to the extent that a Trigger Event has occurred and is continuing or,
as a result of the payment of the Interest Payment would occur, on any
Interest Payment Date:
·
the Issuer will waive the coupon on the Securities; and
·
the Guarantor shall be paid by way of dividend or otherwise any
relevant dividend or interest received by the Issuer pursuant to the
terms of any on-loan of the issue proceeds of the Securities.
The Issuer may also elect to waive any coupon that would otherwise be due
on any Optional Coupon Date.
Loss Absorption
In the event of the occurrence of a Trigger Event, the board of directors of
the Guarantor shall convene an extraordinary shareholders' meeting to be
held during the three months following the occurrence of such Trigger
Event in order to propose a share capital increase or any other measure
regarded by it as necessary or useful to remedy such event.
5


Level: 5 ­ From: 5 ­ Friday, October 27, 2006 ­ 4:50 pm ­ mac5 ­ 3565 Section 01 : 3565 Section 01
If a share capital increase or any such other proposed measure is not
adopted by the extraordinary shareholders' meeting of the Guarantor or if
the share capital increase is not sufficiently subscribed to remedy such
Trigger Event in full, or if such Trigger Event remains in effect for six
months following the occurrence of such event, the board of directors of
the Guarantor will cause the Issuer to implement, within ten days
following the date that is six months following the occurrence of such
event, a proportionate reduction of the amount of Current Principal
Amount of each Security (a Loss Absorption) necessary in order to
remedy the Trigger Event to the fullest extent possible. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary, the nominal value of any Security shall never be
reduced to an amount lower than one cent (EUR 0.01).
The amount by which the aggregate Current Principal Amount of the
Securities is reduced to enable the Guarantor to absorb losses in order to
ensure the continuity of its activities, shall be the lower of:
·
the amount by which the applicable regulatory capital solvency
requirements exceed the solvency capital of the Guarantor on a
consolidated basis at the time of the Trigger Event; and
·
the aggregate amount of the Current Principal Amount of the
Securities before such reduction.
In the event of Loss Absorption, Interest Payments will only continue to be
payable on the Current Principal Amount of the Securities until
Reinstatement to the Original Principal Amount. Furthermore there is no
limitation on such Interest Payments being waived as described above.
For the avoidance of doubt, the first remedy to the Trigger Event will be
the share capital increase or the implementation of any other measures
adopted by the extraordinary shareholders' meeting of the Guarantor to
remedy such Trigger Event. To the extent such increase of share capital or
other measures are not sufficient, the Loss Absorption will be applied
against the Current Principal Amount of the Securities.
Reinstatement
If, following a Loss Absorption, the Guarantor has recorded positive
Consolidated Profit for at least two consecutive fiscal years following the
end of the most recent fiscal year in which there was a Loss Absorption,
Dexia SA may cause the Issuer to increase, and the Issuer shall increase,
the Current Principal Amount of each Security on any date and in an
amount that they determine (either up to the Original Principal Amount or
up to any other amount lower than the Original Principal Amount), subject
to any necessary regulatory approval.
Irrespective of whether a Return to Profitability has occurred, the
Guarantor shall cause the Issuer to increase, and the Issuer shall increase,
the aggregate Current Principal Amount of the Securities in an amount
equal to the Mandatory Reinstatement Amount on the date of a Mandatory
Reinstatement Event.
For the avoidance of doubt, following a Reinstatement, the aggregate
Current Principal Amount of the Securities may never be greater than the
aggregate Original Principal Amount of the Securities.
Subordination
The payment obligations of the Issuer under the Securities constitute
unsecured subordinated obligations of the Issuer and will rank:
6


Level: 5 ­ From: 5 ­ Friday, October 27, 2006 ­ 4:50 pm ­ mac5 ­ 3565 Section 01 : 3565 Section 01
·
behind (junior to) the claims of holders of Issuer Senior and
Subordinated Indebtedness;
·
pari passu with Other Pari Passu Claims; and
·
before (senior to) (x) the claims for payment of any obligation that,
expressly or by applicable law, is subordinated to the Securities and
(y) the claims of holders of Issuer Ordinary Shares.
Additional Amounts
All payments in respect of the Securities will be made free and clear of and
without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or
future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever
nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of Luxembourg or Belgium or
any political subdivision or authority thereof or therein having the power
to tax, unless the withholding or deduction is required by law.
If at any time the Issuer or the Guarantor is required to withhold or deduct
any tax with respect to any payments on the Securities, the Issuer or the
Guarantor, as applicable, will be required, subject to customary
exceptions, to pay such additional amounts as shall be required so that the
net amount received by each Securityholder after the withholding or
deduction of any such relevant tax will not be less than the amount then
due and payable to each Securityholder in the absence of such withholding
or deduction.
Optional Redemption
The Securities are not redeemable at the option of the Securityholders at
any time.
On the First Call Date and on any subsequent Interest Payment Date
thereafter, the Issuer, subject to having given not less than 30, and not more
than 60, days' prior notice to the Securityholders (which notice shall be
irrevocable), and subject to any required prior approval of the CBFA, may,
at its option, redeem the Securities in whole but not in part at the Base
Redemption Price.
Redemption Upon Certain
Upon the occurrence of a Tax Event other than as a result of a Tax Law
Events
Change or upon the occurrence of a Tier 1 Disqualification Event, the
Issuer will have the right, at any time before the First Call Date, to redeem
the Securities in whole (and not in part) at a redemption price equal to the
greater of (x) the Make Whole Amount and (y) the Base Redemption Price.
Upon the occurrence of a Tax Event as a result of a Tax Law Change, the
Issuer will have the right at any time to redeem the Securities in whole (and
not in part) at a redemption price equal to the Base Redemption Price.
Any redemption of Securities upon the occurrence of a Tax Event or a Tier
1 Disqualification Event is subject to any required prior approval of the
CBFA.
In any event, no redemption of Securities will be permitted if before or
after giving effect to such redemption, a Trigger Event has occurred and is
continuing or would occur.
Form and Denomination
The Securities will be issued in the denomination of 50,000 principal
amount.
So long as any Securities are represented by a Temporary Global Security
and/or a Permanent Global Security and the relevant clearing system(s) so
7


Level: 5 ­ From: 5 ­ Friday, October 27, 2006 ­ 4:50 pm ­ mac5 ­ 3565 Section 01 : 3565 Section 01
permit, the Securities will be tradeable only in principal amounts of at least
50,000 and integral multiples of 1,000 in excess thereof.
The Securities will be issued in global bearer form and deposited on or
about the issue date with a common depositary for Euroclear and
Clearstream. Definitive Securities will only be available in limited
circumstances and in the denomination of 50,000 principal amount.
Crystallisation of claims
If a Remedies Event occurs and is continuing, the Securityholders, by
written notice to the Issuer, may institute proceedings to obtain the
payment of the amounts due or compliance with the defaulted covenant
provided that the Securityholders may not declare the aggregate principal
amount of the Securities due and payable.
If any judgment is issued for a liquidation or bankruptcy (including,
without limitation, any bankruptcy (faillite), insolvency, voluntary or
judicial liquidation (liquidation volontaire ou judiciaire), composition
with creditors (concordat préventif de faillite), reprieve from payment
(sursis de paiement), controlled management (gestion contrôlée),
fraudulent conveyance (actio pauliana), general settlement with creditors
or reorganisation proceedings or similar proceedings affecting the rights of
creditors generally) of the Issuer or if the Issuer has been liquidated for any
other reason, then the Securities shall immediately become due and
payable.
In connection with the institution of proceedings by holders against the
Issuer to obtain payments of any amounts due under the Securities, such
Securityholders may require the Issuer to, and the Issuer shall, enforce any
rights it may have under the intercompany loans it makes to any of the
Dexia Group banking entities.
Reinstatement upon
In the event of a liquidation or bankruptcy (including, without limitation,
Liquidation or Bankruptcy
any bankruptcy (faillite), insolvency, voluntary or judicial liquidation
(liquidation volontaire ou judiciaire), composition with creditors
(concordat préventif de faillite), reprieve from payment (sursis de
paiement), controlled management (gestion contrôlée), fraudulent
conveyance (actio pauliana), general settlement with creditors or
reorganisation proceedings or similar proceedings affecting the rights of
creditors generally) of the Issuer or a judicial or voluntary liquidation
(liquidation judiciaire ou volontaire/gerechtelijke of vrijwillige
vereffening) (except for corporate reorganisations involving a voluntary
dissolution without liquidation (dissolution volontaire sans
liquidation/vrijwillige ontbinding zonder vereffening) as referred to in
Articles 671-677 or 878-884 of the Belgian Code of Companies) or
bankruptcy (faillite/faillissement) of the Guarantor, the Guarantor shall
cause the Issuer to implement and the Issuer shall implement a
Reinstatement in an amount up to the Original Principal Amount of the
Securities, subject to any necessary regulatory approval.
The rights of Securityholders in the event of such liquidation or
bankruptcy will be calculated on the basis of:
·
the Original Principal Amount of the Securities they hold; plus
·
an amount equal to unpaid Interest Payments, if any, thereon with
respect to the current Interest Period accrued on a daily basis to the
date of the decision of the court or the shareholders' meeting
8


Level: 5 ­ From: 5 ­ Friday, October 27, 2006 ­ 4:50 pm ­ mac5 ­ 3565 Section 01 : 3565 Section 01
relating to the liquidation or of the decision of the court relating to
the bankruptcy, as the case may be.
No payments will be made to the Securityholders unless and until all
amounts due, but unpaid, to all other senior and subordinated creditors of
the liquidated or bankrupt entity have been paid by the Guarantor or the
Issuer, as the case may be, as ascertained by the liquidator or the trustee in
bankruptcy.
Guarantee
The Guarantor will give an unconditional, irrevocable and subordinated
Guarantee for the due payment (without double counting) of:
·
Coupons which are not waived as described under "Waived Interest
Payments" and additional amounts thereon, if any;
·
the Base Redemption Price payable when the Securities become
payable in accordance with their terms in the event of a liquidation
or bankruptcy (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy
(faillite), insolvency, voluntary or judicial liquidation (liquidation
volontaire ou judiciaire), composition with creditors (concordat
préventif de faillite), reprieve from payment (sursis de paiement),
controlled management (gestion contrôlée), fraudulent conveyance
(actio pauliana), general settlement with creditors or reorganisation
proceedings or similar proceedings affecting the rights of creditors
generally) of the Issuer; and
·
the Base Redemption Price or Make Whole Amount, as applicable,
payable when the Securities become payable in accordance with
their terms in the event of a redemption as described under
"Optional Redemption" and "Redemption Upon Certain Events".
In the event of a General concursus creditorum affecting the Guarantor, the
claims of Securityholders under the Guarantee will be satisfied after (but
only after, and subject to) the claims of all holders of Guarantor Senior and
Subordinated Indebtedness have first been paid in full, other than claims of
creditors of the Guarantor which (x) rank pari passu with the Securities or
the Guarantee or (y) are junior to the Securities or the Guarantee, in the
case of (x) or (y) whether expressly or in accordance with applicable law.
The holders of the Securities will be required to accept that, in the
circumstances described above, payments in respect of the Securities will
be made by the Guarantor pursuant to the Guarantee only in accordance
with the subordination described above.
No Right to Set-Off. No Securityholder may set off any claims arising
under the Guarantee against claims that the Guarantor may have against it.
The Guarantor may set off against any claims of any Securityholder under
the Guarantee only if the appropriate regulatory authority has given its
consent to the set off, and subject to there existing no Trigger Event.
Remedy for Non-payment. In any event resulting in the liquidation or
bankruptcy (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy (faillite),
insolvency, voluntary or judicial liquidation (liquidation volontaire ou
judiciaire), composition with creditors (concordat préventif de faillite),
reprieve from payment (sursis de paiement), controlled management
(gestion contrôlée), fraudulent conveyance (actio pauliana), general
settlement with creditors or reorganisation proceedings or similar
proceedings affecting the rights of creditors generally) of the Issuer,
9


Level: 5 ­ From: 5 ­ Friday, October 27, 2006 ­ 4:50 pm ­ mac5 ­ 3565 Section 01 : 3565 Section 01
whether due to a Remedies Event or otherwise, the Securityholders by
written notice to the Guarantor may institute proceedings against the
Guarantor to obtain the payment of the amounts due or to obtain
compliance with the defaulted covenant or agreement or to obtain the
bankruptcy of the Guarantor (or any analogous proceeding which may be
available from time to time under the laws of Belgium). The
Securityholders may not declare the principal amount of the Securities due
and payable.
If a Remedies Event occurs and is continuing, the Securityholders may by
written notice to the Guarantor, institute proceedings to obtain the payment
of the amounts due or compliance with the defaulted covenant or
agreement provided that the Securityholders may not declare the aggregate
principal amount of the Securities due and payable.
If a liquidation or bankruptcy (including, without limitation, any
bankruptcy (faillite), insolvency, voluntary or judicial liquidation
(liquidation volontaire ou judiciaire), composition with creditors
(concordat préventif de faillite), reprieve from payment (sursis de
paiement), controlled management (gestion contrôlée), fraudulent
conveyance (actio pauliana), general settlement with creditors or
reorganisation proceedings or similar proceedings affecting the rights of
creditors generally) of the Issuer has occurred and there exists a Trigger
Event, any Securityholder may institute bankruptcy proceedings against
the Guarantor exclusively in Belgium.
Use of Proceeds
The Issuer will use the net proceeds of the issue and sale of the Securities
to on-lend to any of the banking entities within the Dexia Group. Any such
on-loans shall be structured to achieve solvency capital treatment as
required by the applicable regulator. The Issuer shall use reasonable
efforts, including consultation with the Rating Agencies, to ensure that any
on-loan, any amendment to the terms of such on-loan or any transfer of
such on-loan to a non-core operating company does not reduce the then-
current rating of the Securities at that point in time.
Listing and admission to
Application has been made for the Securities to be listed on the Official
trading
List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and admitted to trading on the
regulated market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange.
Governing Law
The Securities and the Guarantee will be governed by the laws of England,
except that the subordination provisions of the Guarantee will be governed
by the laws of Belgium. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of
Articles 86 to 94-8 of the Luxembourg law regarding Commercial
Companies dated 10 August 1915, as amended, are excluded.
