ADDITIONAL RISK FACTORS

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 the risks relating to the Notes,
please see the product prospectus supplement FIN-1 dated January 28, 2011 and the prospectus supplement dated
January 28, 2011. You should careful y 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.

The Amount of Interest You Receive May Be Less than the Return You Could Earn on Other Investments.

Interest rates may change significantly over the term of the Notes, and it is impossible to predict what interest
rates wil be at any point in the future. Although the interest rate on the Notes wil increase to preset rates at scheduled
intervals during the term of the Notes, the interest rate that wil apply at any time on the Notes may be more or less than
prevailing market interest rates at that time. As a result, the amount of interest you receive on the Notes may be less than
the return you could earn on other investments.

The Per Annum Interest Rate Applicable at a Particular Time Will Affect Our Decision to Redeem the Notes.

It is more likely that we wil redeem the Notes prior to the stated maturity date during periods when the remaining
interest is to accrue on the Notes at a rate that is greater than that which we would pay on a conventional fixed-rate
non-redeemable note of comparable maturity. If we redeem the Notes prior to the stated maturity date, you may not be
able to invest in other Notes that yield as much interest as the Notes.

Investors Are Subject to Our Credit Risk, and Our Credit Ratings and Credit Spreads May Adversely Affect the
Market Value of the Notes.

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.

The Inclusion of the Underwriting Discount and Commission and the Structuring and Development Costs in the
Initial Public Offering Price of the Notes and Certain Hedging Costs Are Likely to Adversely Affect the Price at
Which You Can Sell Your Notes.

Assuming no change in market conditions or any other relevant factors, the price, if any, at which Wel s Fargo
Securities, LLC is wil ing to purchase the Notes in secondary market transactions wil likely be lower than the initial public
offering price. The initial public offering price includes, and secondary market prices are likely to exclude, the underwriting
discount and commission paid in connection with the initial distribution and the structuring and development costs. In
addition, any such price is also likely to reflect dealer discounts, mark-ups and other transaction costs, such as a discount
to account for costs associated with establishing or unwinding any related hedge transaction. We expect such costs wil
include the projected profit that our hedge counterparty expects to realize in consideration for assuming the risks inherent in
hedging our obligations under the Notes. In addition, any such prices may differ from values determined by pricing models
used by Wel s Fargo Securities, LLC, as a result of dealer discounts, mark-ups or other transactions.

The Step-Up Feature Presents Different Investment Considerations than Fixed Rate Notes.

The interest rate payable on the Notes during their term wil increase from the initial interest rate, subject to our
right to redeem the Notes. If we do not redeem the Notes, the interest rate wil step up as described above. Unless general
interest rates rise significantly, you should not expect to earn the higher stated interest rates which are applicable only after
the first two years of the term of the Notes, because we are likely to redeem the Notes prior to the stated maturity date.
When determining whether to invest in the Notes, you should consider, among other things, the overal annual percentage
rate of interest to redemption or maturity as compared to other equivalent investment alternatives, rather than the higher
stated interest rates which are applicable only after the first two years of the term of the Notes.

Step Up Callable Notes,

An Investment in the Notes May Be More Risky than an Investment in Notes with a Shorter Term.

The Notes have a term of twelve years, subject to our right to redeem the Notes on March 20, 2013, March 20,
2014 and March 20, 2019. By purchasing Notes with a longer term, you wil bear greater exposure to fluctuations in interest
rates than if you purchased a note with a shorter term. In particular, you may be negatively affected if interest rates begin
to rise because the likelihood that we wil redeem your Notes wil decrease and the interest rate applicable to your Notes
during a particular interest period may be less than the amount of interest you could earn on other investments available at
that time. In addition, if you try to sel your Notes at that time, the value of your Notes in any secondary market transaction
would also be adversely affected.
The Market Value of Your Notes May Be Influenced by Many Unpredictable Factors.

The fol owing factors, which are beyond our control, may influence the market value of your Notes:

·
Changes in U.S. interest rates. In general, assuming al other conditions are held constant, if U.S. interest rates
increase, the market value of the Notes may decrease, and if U.S. interest rates decrease, the market value of
the Notes may increase.

·
Credit risk. Actual or anticipated changes in Royal Bank's credit ratings, financial condition or results of
operations may affect the value of the Notes. However, because the return on the Notes is dependent upon
factors in addition to our ability to pay our obligations under the Notes, such as whether we exercise our option
to redeem the Notes, an improvement in our credit ratings, financial condition or results of operation wil not
reduce the other investment risks related to the Notes.
These factors may influence the market value of your Notes if you sel your Notes before maturity.
There May Not Be an Active Trading Market for the Notes--Sales in the Secondary Market May Result in
Significant Losses.

There may be little or no secondary market for the Notes. The Notes wil not be listed on any securities
exchange. Wel s Fargo Securities, LLC and other affiliates of Wel s Fargo Securities, LLC may make a market for the
Notes; however, they are not required to do so. Wel s Fargo Securities, LLC or any other affiliate of Wel s Fargo
Securities, LLC may stop any market-making activities at any time. Even if a secondary market for the Notes develops, it
may not provide significant liquidity or trade at prices advantageous to you. We expect that transaction costs in any
secondary market would be high. As a result, the difference between bid and asked prices for your Notes in any
secondary market could be substantial.

If you sel your Notes before maturity, you may have to do so at a substantial discount from the issue price, and as
a result, you may suffer substantial losses.
