this Base Prospectus to the "relevant Dealer" shall, in the case of an issue of Securities being (or intended to be)
subscribed by more than one Dealer, be to all Dealers agreeing to subscribe such Securities.
An investment in Securities issued under the Programme involves certain risks. For a discussion of these

as competent authority under the Luxembourg Act dated 10 July 2005 on prospectuses for securities (the
"Prospectus Act 2005") to approve this document as a base prospectus (in respect of Securities other than
Secured Notes). The CSSF assumes no responsibility as to the economic and financial soundness of the
transactions contemplated by this Base Prospectus or the quality or solvency of the Issuer in accordance with
Article 7(7) of the Prospectus Act 2005. Application has also been made to the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for
Securities (other than Secured Notes) issued under the Programme to be admitted to trading on the Luxembourg
Stock Exchange's regulated market and to be listed on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange.
Notice of the aggregate nominal amount or aggregate number, as the case may be, of Securities, interest (if any)

contained herein which are applicable to each series of Securities will be set out in the applicable Final Terms
which, with respect to Securities to be listed on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, will be filed
with the CSSF.
The Programme provides that Securities may be listed or admitted to trading, as the case may be, on such other or
further stock exchanges or markets as may be agreed between the Issuer and the relevant Dealer. The Issuer may
also issue unlisted Securities and/or Securities not admitted to trading on any market.
The Issuer may agree with any Dealer that Securities may be issued in a form not contemplated by the applicable
Conditions set out herein, in which event a supplement to the Base Prospectus, if appropriate, will be made
available which will describe the effect of the agreement reached in relation to such Securities.
The Securities and, in certain cases, the Entitlement (as defined in the applicable Final Terms) have not been and
will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or under
any state securities laws and are subject to certain United States tax law requirements. Trading in the Securities
has not been approved by the United States Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the "CFTC") under the
United States Commodity Exchange Act, as amended (the "Commodity Exchange Act"). The Securities, or
interests therein, may not at any time be offered, sold, resold, traded, pledged, exercised, redeemed, transferred or
delivered, directly or indirectly, in the United States of America (including the States and the District of
Columbia), its territories, its possessions and other areas subject to its jurisdiction (the "United States") or

in which are held by persons described in (i) to (v) above if such entity was formed principally for the purpose of
investment by such persons in a commodity pool the operator of which is exempt from certain requirements of
Part 4 of the CFTC's regulations by virtue of its participants being non-U.S. Persons; or (vii) any other U.S.
Person as such term may be defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act or in regulations adopted under the

requirements of the United States Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended and the rules thereunder.
Investors in the Securities will be deemed to have made or be required to make certain representations and
warranties in connection with purchasing the Securities.
All payments in respect of the N&C Securities will be made without deduction for or on account of
withholding taxes imposed by any tax jurisdiction unless any such deduction is required by law. In the
event that (i) any such deduction is required and (ii) the relevant N&C Securities are (A) specified as being
"Reference Item Linked N&C Securities" in the applicable Final Terms or (B) Secured Notes, the Issuer
will not be required to pay any additional amounts to cover the amounts so deducted.
A holder of a W&C Security must pay all taxes, duties and/or expenses arising from the exercise and
settlement of such W&C Security and/or delivery of the Entitlement, if applicable. The Issuer shall not be
liable for tax, duty, withholding or other payment which may arise as a result of the ownership, transfer,
exercise or enforcement of any W&C Security and all payments will be made subject to any such tax, duty,
withholding or other payment.

Base Prospectus, see "Offering and Sale" on pages 555-560.

N&C Securities and the W&C Securities" on pages 63-66 and each issue of Secured Notes will be issued in the
form set out in "Form of the Secured Notes" on pages 66-67.
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 pages 20-60.
Any person (an "Investor") intending to acquire or acquiring any Securities from any person (an "Offeror")
should be aware that, in the context of an offer to the public as defined in the Prospectus Directive, the Issuer may
be responsible to the Investor for this Base Prospectus only if the Issuer is acting in association with that Offeror
to make the offer to the Investor. Each Investor should therefore verify with the Offeror whether or not the
Offeror is acting in association with the Issuer. If the Offeror is not acting in association with the Issuer, the
Investor should check with the Offeror whether anyone is responsible for this Base Prospectus for the purposes of
Article 6 of the Prospectus Directive as implemented by the national legislation of each Member State of the
European Economic Area in the context of the offer to the public, and, if so, who that person is. If the Investor is
in any doubt about whether it can rely on this Base Prospectus and/or who is responsible for its contents it should
take legal advice.
The rating of certain Series of Securities to be issued under the Programme may be specified in the applicable
Final Terms. Whether or not each credit rating applied for in relation to a relevant Series of Securities will be
issued by a credit rating agency established in the European Union and registered under Regulation (EC) No.
1060/2009 (the "CRA Regulation") will be disclosed in the applicable Final Terms.

Member State or, where appropriate, approved in another Relevant Member State and notified to the
competent authority in that Relevant Member State and (in either case) published, all in accordance
with the Prospectus Directive, Provided That any such prospectus has subsequently been completed by
final terms which specify that offers may be made other than pursuant to Article 3(2) of the
Prospectus Directive in that Relevant Member State, such offer is made in the period beginning and
ending on the dates specified for such purpose in such prospectus or final terms, as applicable, and the
