ADDI T I ON AL RI SK FACT ORS

The Notes involve risks not associated with an investment in ordinary fixed rate notes. This section describes the most significant risks
relating to the terms of the Notes. For additional information as to these risks, please see the product prospectus supplement FIN-1
dated July 25, 2013 and the prospectus supplement dated July 23, 2013. You should carefully consider whether the Notes are suited
to your particular circumstances before you decide to purchase them. Accordingly, prospective investors should consult their financial
and legal advisors as to the risks entailed by an investment in the Notes and the suitability of the Notes in light of their particular
circumstances.

Ea rly Re de m pt ion Risk . We have the option to redeem the Notes on the Call Dates set forth above. It is more likely that we will
redeem the Notes prior to their stated maturity date to the extent that the interest payable on the Notes is greater than the interest
that would be payable on our other instruments of a comparable maturity, terms and credit rating trading in the market. If the Notes
are redeemed prior to their stated maturity date, you may have to re-invest the proceeds in a lower rate environment.

I nve st ors Are Subje c t t o Our Cre dit Risk , a nd Our Cre dit Ra t ings a nd Cre dit Spre a ds M a y Adve rse ly Affe c t t he
M a rk e t V a lue of t he N ot e s. Investors are dependent on Royal Bank's ability to pay all amounts due on the Notes on the interest
payment dates and at maturity, and, therefore, investors are subject to the credit risk of Royal Bank and to changes in the market's
view of Royal Bank's creditworthiness. Any decrease in Royal Bank's credit ratings or increase in the credit spreads charged by the
market for taking Royal Bank's credit risk is likely to adversely affect the market value of the Notes.

SU PPLEM EN T AL PLAN OF DI ST RI BU T I ON (CON FLI CT S OF I N T EREST )

Delivery of the Notes will be made against payment for the Notes on January 30, 2015, which is the third (3rd) business day following
the Pricing Date (this settlement cycle being referred to as "T+3"). See "Plan of Distribution" in the prospectus supplement dated July
23, 2013. For additional information as to the relationship between us and RBC Capital Markets, LLC, please see the section "Plan of
Distribution--Conflicts of Interest" in the prospectus dated July 23, 2013.

Notes being offered by this pricing supplement is not purchased by investors in the offering, one or more of our affiliates may

purchase the unsold portion. However, our affiliates will not purchase more than 15% of the principal amount of the Notes. Sales of
these Notes by our affiliates could reduce the market price and the liquidity of the Notes that you purchase.

We may use this pricing supplement in the initial sale of the Notes. In addition, RBC Capital Markets, LLC or another of our affiliates
may use this pricing supplement in a market-making transaction in the Notes after their initial sale. Unless we or our agent informs
the purchaser otherwise in the confirmation of sale, this pricing supplement is being used in a market-making transaction.
