Payment Date and the Euro 12 Year Interest Payment Date, the "Interest
Payment Dates"), the Issuer may, at its option, elect to defer payment of
all (but not some only) of the interest accrued to that date and any failure
to pay shall not constitute a default by the Issuer for any purpose.

Any interest not paid on an applicable Interest Payment Date shall
constitute "Arrears of Interest". Arrears of Interest (including any
Additional Interest Amount as defined below) on all outstanding Notes
shall become due and payable in full on whichever is the earliest of:

the date of any redemption of the Notes in accordance with the

amiable ou judiciaire) or for the sale of the whole of the
business (cession totale de l'entreprise) following an order of
judicial reorganisation (redressement judiciaire) in respect of the
Issuer or in the event of the liquidation of the Issuer for any
other reason.

Each amount of Arrears of Interest shall bear interest, in accordance with
Article 1154 of the French Civil Code, as if they constituted the nominal
amount of the Notes at a rate which corresponds to the rate of interest
from time to time applicable to the Notes and the amount of such interest
(the "Additional Interest Amount") with respect to Arrears of Interest
shall be due and payable pursuant to this provision and shall be
calculated by the Calculation Agent applying the rate of interest to the
amount of the Arrears of Interest and otherwise mutatis mutandis as
provided in the foregoing provisions hereof.

The Additional Interest Amount accrued up to any applicable Interest
Payment Date shall be added, to the extent permitted by applicable law
and for the purpose only of calculating the Additional Interest Amount
accruing thereafter, to the amount of Arrears of Interest remaining unpaid
on such applicable Interest Payment Date as if such amount constituted
Arrears of Interest.

"Compulsory Arrears of Interest Payment Event" means:
(i)
a payment in any form (including dividend or other payments as
applicable) on any Equity Securities or any Parity Securities
having been resolved upon by the shareholders or other
competent body of the Issuer or having been made by the Issuer;

(ii)

indirectly, of any Equity Securities or any Parity Securities of

Issuer, stock options or other employee benefit plans; or
(b) made in connection with the satisfaction by the Issuer of its
obligations under any existing or future liquidity
agreement (contrat de liquidité) managed by an investment
services provider to repurchase its share capital from such
investment services provider,
save for, in each case, any compulsory dividend, other distribution,
payment, repurchase, redemption or other acquisition required by the
terms of such securities; and in the case of Parity Securities, any
repurchase or other acquisition in whole or in part in a public tender offer
or public exchange offer at a consideration per Parity Security below its
par value.

future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever
nature imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or on behalf of
the French Republic or any political subdivision or any authority thereof
or therein having power to tax unless such withholding or deduction is
required by law.
Additional Amounts

subject to such deduction or withholding, the Issuer, will, to the fullest
extent then permitted by law, pay such additional amounts ("Additional
