6.3 The designation as set out in this article 6 paragraph 1, with or without the authority to restrict or exclude pre-emptive rights, may be extended by a resolution of the general meeting, each time for a period not exceeding five years. If the designation is extended, the number of shares which may be issued shall be determined at the same time. Unless laid down otherwise in the designation, it may not be withdrawn.

6.4 If the designation as set out in this article 6 paragraph 1 ends, the general meeting shall be competent to issue shares except to the extent another body is designated for this purpose by the general meeting. The resolution of the general meeting to issue shares or to designate another body, including or excluding the assignment of the authority to exclude or limit the pre-emptive rights, other than as set out in this article 6 paragraph 1, will only be taken on the proposal of the Board. Any designation shall also determine the number of shares which may be issued and will have a duration of no more than five years.

6.5 The provisions of paragraph 1 up to and including paragraph 4 of this article shall apply accordingly to the granting of rights to subscribe to shares, but do not apply to the issue of shares to someone who exercises a previously acquired right to subscribe to shares.

6.6 The body authorized to issue shares may resolve to charge amounts to be paid up on such shares against the company’s reserves, irrespective of whether those shares are issued to existing shareholders.

6.7 If a resolution to issue shares is adopted, the issue price of the shares and the other conditions of the issue shall also be determined.

6.8 Subject to this article 6 paragraph 10, each holder of shares shall, with respect to an issue of shares, have a pre-emptive right with respect to any further share issue in proportion to the aggregate amount of his shares, except if shares are issued for a non-cash consideration, shares are issued as a result of a legal merger or legal split-off or if shares are issued to employees of the company or of a group company.

Pre-emptive rights may also be excluded or restricted by the body authorized to issue shares if such corporate body is also authorized by the relevant resolution of the general meeting for a fixed period, not exceeding five years, to restrict or exclude the pre-emptive rights. Upon termination of the authority of the corporate body to issue shares, its authority to restrict or exclude pre-emptive rights shall also terminate.

Article 7. Payment for shares. Payment in cash. Non-cash contribution

7.1 Upon the issue of a share, the nominal value must be fully paid up, and, in addition, if the share is subscribed at a higher amount, the difference between such amounts. It may be stipulated that a part, not exceeding three quarters of the nominal value needs only be paid after such part is called up by the company.

7.2 Persons who are professionally engaged in the placing of shares for their own account may be permitted, by agreement, to pay less than the nominal value for the shares subscribed by them, provided that no less than ninety-four percent of such amount is paid in cash not later than on the subscription for the shares.

7.3 Payment for shares shall be made in cash unless a non-cash contribution has been agreed. Payment in foreign currency may only be made with the company’s approval, and furthermore in accordance with the relevant statutory provisions.

7.4 The Board may resolve to agree to a payment for shares other than in cash without the prior approval of the general meeting. A non-cash contribution shall occur without delay after acceptance of the share or following the day on which an additional payment is called up or agreed upon. In accordance with article 2:94b paragraph 1 of the Netherlands Civil Code, a description shall be drawn up of the contribution to be made. The description shall relate to the situation on a day no less than six months prior to the day the shares are subscribed for or the additional payment is called up or agreed upon.

8.2 Any acquisition by the company of shares in its capital which are not fully paid up, is null and void.

The term shares in this paragraph and paragraphs 3 up and including 5 of this article shall include depositary receipts.

8.3 The company may only acquire its own fully paid-up shares without consideration, or:

a. if the equity decreased by the acquisition price is not less than the paid and called up part of the capital increased with the reserves which must be maintained by law or the articles of association; and

6

b. the nominal amount of the shares in the company’s capital to be acquired, already held or held in pledge by the company and its subsidiaries collectively, does not exceed half of the company’s issued capital.

The company may only acquire its own fully paid-up shares with consideration if and insofar the general meeting has authorized the Board in that respect. Such authorization shall be valid for a period of no longer than eighteen months. In the authorization, the general meeting shall state the number of shares that may be acquired, how the shares may be acquired and the limits within which the price of the shares must be set. No authorization shall be required in case the company acquires shares in its capital, which are officially listed on a Stock Market, for the purpose of transferring such shares to employees of the company or of a group company, under a scheme applicable to such employees.

8.4 Decisive for the validity of the acquisition shall be the value of the company’s equity according to the most recently adopted balance sheet decreased with the acquisition price of shares in the company’s capital, the amount of the loans as meant in article 2:98c paragraph 2 of the Netherlands Civil Code and any distributions to others out of profits or reserves which became payable by the company and its subsidiaries after the date of the balance sheet. If more than six months have lapsed since the expiration of a financial year without adoption of the Annual Accounts, an acquisition in accordance with the provisions in paragraph 3 shall not be permitted.

8.5 The provisions of paragraphs 2 up to and including 4 of this article do not apply to shares acquired by the company under universal succession of title (onder algemene titel), without prejudice of the provisions in article 2:98a paragraph 3 and paragraph 4 of the Netherlands Civil Code.

This prohibition shall also apply to its subsidiaries. This prohibition shall not apply if shares or depositary receipts are subscribed for or acquired by employees of the company or a group company.

8.7 The company and its subsidiaries may not grant loans with a view to subscribing for its own shares or any other party acquiring shares in the capital of the company or depositary receipts, unless the Board passes a resolution and the conditions of article 2:98c paragraphs 2 up to and including 7 of the Netherlands Civil Code are fulfilled.

8.8 Shares or depositary receipts in the company’s capital may, upon issue, not be subscribed for by or on behalf of any of its subsidiaries. The subsidiaries may acquire such shares or depositary receipts for their own account only insofar as the company is permitted to acquire its own shares or depositary receipts pursuant to paragraphs 2 up to and including 5 of this article.

8.9 Disposal of any shares in its own capital or depositary receipts held by the company shall require a resolution of the general meeting provided that the general meeting has not granted this authority to another corporate body.

7

8.10 The company may not cast votes in respect of shares in its own capital held by the company or such shares on which the company has a right of usufruct or pledge. Nor may any votes be cast by the pledgee or usufructuary of shares in its own capital held by the company if the right has been created by the company. No votes may be cast in respect of the shares whereof depositary receipts are held by the company. The provisions of this paragraph shall also apply to shares or depositary receipts held by any Subsidiary or in respect of which any Subsidiary owns a right of usufruct or pledge.

8.11 When determining to what extent the company’s capital is represented, or whether a majority represents a certain part of the capital, the capital shall be reduced by the amount of the shares for which no votes can be cast.

distribute is published. It shall be prepared on the basis of generally acceptable valuation methods. The amounts to be reserved by law shall be included in such statement of assets and liabilities. The interim statement of assets and liabilities shall be signed by the Directors, if the signature of one of them is missing, this fact and the reason for such omission shall be stated. The company shall deposit the statement of assets and liabilities with the trade register within eight days after the day on which the resolution to distribute is published.

27.5 The Board may, with due observance of the provisions of paragraph 2 and 4, resolve to make distributions out of a reserve which need not be kept by law.

27.6 The Board may, with due observance of the provisions of paragraph 2 and 4, resolve to pay, wholly or partly, dividends other than in cash.

27.7 For the calculation of the amount to be distributed on the shares, the shares held by the company in its own capital shall not be taken into account. For the calculation of the amount to be distributed on each share, only the amount of the mandatory payments on the nominal value of the shares shall be taken into account. The foregoing may be deviated from with the consent of all shareholders.

27.8 A claim of a shareholder to receive a distribution expires after five years.

28.1 Within six months of the end of the company’s financial year, the annual general meeting shall be held.

28.2 The agenda of that meeting shall, among other matters, contain the items required by applicable law and such other proposals raised for consideration by the Board.

Article 29. Extraordinary general meetings

Without prejudice to the provisions of article 28 paragraph 1 and the law, general meetings shall be held as often as the Board or shareholders and holders of depositary receipts issued with the cooperation of the company together representing at least one-tenth of the issued capital, hereinafter referred to as the “requesting shareholders”, deem necessary, and as required by applicable law.

Article 30. Convocation. Agenda

30.1 General meetings shall be called by the Board or by the requesting shareholders. The requesting shareholders are only authorized to call the general meeting themselves if it is evidenced that the requesting shareholders have requested the Board to call a general meeting in writing, exactly stating the matters to be discussed, and the Board has not taken the necessary steps so that the general meeting could be held within six weeks after the request. The requirement of a written request is also met if the request is recorded electronically. If the requesting shareholders represent more than half of the issued capital, however, they shall be authorized to call the general meeting themselves without first having to request the Board to call the general meeting.

30.2 Convocation shall take place with observance of such term as required by applicable law and stock exchange regulations.

30.3 The convening notice shall specify the items to be discussed. Items which have not been specified in the convening notice may be announced with due observance of the requirements of this article. The convening notice shall furthermore state all such information as may be required by these articles of association, applicable law and stock exchange regulations.

14

30.4 The agenda shall contain such business as may be placed thereon by the Board. An item, of which the discussion has been requested in writing by one or more shareholders, representing solely or jointly at least three-hundredth of the issued capital, shall be included in the convocation notice or announced in an equal manner, provided that the company has received the request, including the reasons for the request, or the proposal for a resolution, at least sixty days before the date of the meeting. The general meeting shall not adopt resolutions on matters other than those that have been placed on the agenda.

30.5 All convocations for the general meetings and all notifications to shareholders and holders of depositary receipts issued with the cooperation of the company shall be given in the manner required by applicable law.

Article 31. Place of the meetings

General meetings shall be held in the Netherlands, in the municipality of Amsterdam, or in the municipality of Haarlemmermeer (Schiphol). In a meeting held elsewhere, valid resolutions can only be taken if the entire issued capital is represented. The convening notice shall state the place where the general meeting shall be held.

Article 32. Imperfect convocation general meeting

32.1 Valid resolutions in respect of matters which were not mentioned on the agenda in the convocation letter or which have not been published in the same manner and with due observance of the period set for convocation, can only be taken by unanimous votes in a meeting where the entire issued capital is represented.

32.2 If the period for convocation mentioned in article 30 paragraph 2 was shorter or if no convocation has taken place, valid resolutions can only be taken by unanimous votes in a meeting where the entire issued capital is represented.

Article 33. General meeting chairman

33.1 The general meetings shall be chaired by the Chairman of the Board or by another Non-Executive Director appointed for that purpose by the Board.

33.2 If no chairman for a meeting has been appointed in accordance with paragraph 1, the meeting shall appoint its chairman itself.

Article 34. Minutes

34.1 Minutes shall be taken of the matters discussed at every general meeting by a secretary to be appointed by the chairman. The minutes shall be adopted by the chairman and the secretary and signed by them to that effect.

34.2 The chairman, or the person who requested the meeting, may decide that an official notarial report should be drawn up of the matters discussed at the general meeting. This report must be co-signed by the chairman.

Article 35. Rights exercisable during a meeting. Admission

35.1 Every shareholder, as well as holders of depositary receipts issued with the cooperation of the company shall be authorized to attend the general meeting, address the meeting and exercise their voting rights. If the voting rights attached to a share are vested in the usufructuary or pledgee instead of the shareholder, also the shareholder shall be authorized to attend the general meeting and to address the meeting.

15

35.2 The rights referred to in the previous paragraphs may be exercised by a person acting upon a written power of attorney. A power of attorney shall mean any power of attorney transmitted via standard means of communication and received in written form. The requirement of a written power of attorney is also met in case the power of attorney has been recorded electronically.

35.3 The Directors shall have an advisory vote at the general meeting.

35.4 The Auditor as meant in article 24 paragraph 1 shall be authorized to attend the general meeting held to adopt the Annual Accounts and to address the meeting.

35.5 Admission to the general meeting of persons other than those referred to in this article shall be decided upon by the chairman of the general meeting.

35.6 The Board is authorized to determine that participation in the general meeting may also occur through an electronic communication method, under the conditions as may be announced in the convocation. Through the electronic communication method, the relevant participants must be able to be identified, to directly take note of the discussions at the meeting and to exercise the voting rights.

35.7 Subject to the relevant provisions of applicable law and stock exchange regulations, votes that have been cast through an electronic communication method prior to the general meeting will be treated equally to votes cast at the time of the meeting.

35.8 The Board is authorized to determine at the convocation of a general meeting that, for the purposes of this article 35, the persons entitled to attend and to vote at the general meeting shall be those, who at the date of registration have such rights and are recorded as such in a register designated by the Board, irrespective of who may be entitled to the shares or depositary receipts at the time of the general meeting. The date of registration shall be the twenty-eighth day before the day of the meeting, or, if permitted under applicable law and stock exchange regulations, such other date as may be determined by the Board. The convocation shall mention the date of registration as well as the manner in which the persons entitled to attend or to vote at a general meeting may procure their registration and the way they may exercise their rights.

Article 36. Decision making general meeting

36.1 Every share shall give the right to cast one vote. Resolutions shall be passed by a simple majority of the votes cast, unless the law or the articles of association prescribe a greater majority.

36.2 If no simple majority is reached by a vote taken with respect to the election of persons, a second vote shall be taken whereby the voters are not required to vote for the previous candidates. If, again, no one has gained a simple majority of the votes, new votes shall be held until either one person has gained a simple majority or, if the vote was between two persons, the votes are equally divided. Such new votes (except for the second vote) shall only take place between the candidates who were voted for in the previous vote, except for the person who received the least number of votes. If two or more persons have the least number of votes, it shall be decided by lot who cannot be voted for at the new vote. If, in the event of an election between two candidates, the votes are equally divided, it shall be decided by lot who has been elected.

16

36.3 If a vote is taken in respect of matters other than in relation to election of persons and the votes are equally divided, the relevant motion shall be considered rejected.

36.4 All voting shall take place orally unless the chairman decides or any person entitled to vote requests a voting in writing.

36.5 Abstentions and invalid votes shall be deemed not to have been cast.

36.6 Votes by acclamation shall be allowed unless one of the persons present and entitled to vote objects.

36.7 The chairman’s view at the meeting expressing that the general meeting has passed a resolution shall be decisive. The same shall apply to the contents of the resolution so passed, provided that the relevant motion was not put down in writing. However, if the chairman’s view is challenged immediately after it is expressed, a new vote shall be taken when the majority of the persons present and entitled to vote so require or, if the original vote was not by call or by ballot, when one person present and entitled to vote so requires. The new vote shall nullify the legal consequences of the original vote.

Article 37. Resolutions passed outside a meeting

The shareholders may not pass resolutions in writing, rather than at a general meeting.

CHAPTER IX

Amendment to the articles of association. Liquidation

Article 38. Amendment to the articles of association and dissolution

Upon the proposal of the Board, the general meeting may resolve to amend the articles of association or to dissolve the company. If a proposal to amend the articles of association or to dissolve the company is to be submitted to the general meeting, the convening notice must state this fact. At the same time, if the motion is for an amendment to the articles of association, a copy of the motion containing a verbatim text of the proposed amendment must be deposited at the company’s office for inspection by the shareholders and holders of depositary receipts issued with the cooperation of the company until the meeting has been held.

Article 39. Liquidation

39.1 If the company is dissolved pursuant to a resolution by the general meeting, the Directors shall be the liquidators of the dissolved company, unless the Board appoints other persons to that effect.

39.2 The provisions of these articles of association shall, to the fullest extent possible, continue to be in force during the liquidation.

39.3 The surplus remaining after payment of the debts shall be paid to the shareholders in proportion to the aggregate nominal value of their individual shareholdings.

17

CHAPTER X

Indemnification and hold harmless clause

Article 40. Indemnification and hold harmless clause

40.1 To the fullest extent permissible by law, the company shall indemnify and reimburse for, and hold harmless against, each officer and former officer, Director and former Director (including former members of the company’s management board and supervisory board) (and, in the case of an officer or Director that is not a natural person, its affiliates, shareholders, members, managers, directors, officers, partners, employees and agents) collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”):

a. any and all liabilities, claims, judgments, fines and penalties (collectively, the “Claims”) incurred by an Indemnified Person as a result of any expected, threatened, pending or completed action, investigation or other proceeding, whether civil, criminal or administrative (each a “Legal Action”) in relation to any act or omission in or related to his or her capacity as Indemnified Person; and

b. any expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and litigation costs) (collectively, “Expenses”) incurred by an Indemnified Person in connection with any Legal Action.

40.2 An Indemnified Person will not be held harmless, indemnified and reimbursed as referred to above in paragraph 1, if and to the extent:

a. a Dutch court has made a final and binding judgment that the act or omission of the Indemnified Person can be characterized as willful misconduct (opzet), willful recklessness (bewuste roekeloosheid) or serious culpability (ernstige verwijtbaarheid); and/or

b. the costs or the loss of the Indemnified Person is covered by insurance and the insurer has compensated him or her for the costs or loss.

40.3 When a Dutch court has made a final and binding judgment that an Indemnified Person has no claim to the indemnification as referred to above in paragraph 1, the Indemnified Person shall immediately repay to the company any amount of indemnification it received from the company. The company can demand surety for the repayment obligation of the concerned party.

40.4 The company shall use all its reasonable endeavors to provide for, and shall bear the cost of, insurance covering Claims against, and Expenses incurred by, the Indemnified Persons in connection with any Legal Action.

40.5 The company may enter into agreements with an Indemnified Person to provide for indemnification consistent with the terms and conditions set forth in this article 40. Unless otherwise agreed by the Indemnified Persons, the company may maintain insurance, at its expense, on its own behalf and on behalf of the Indemnified Persons against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, whether or not the company would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under this article 40.

40.6 Expenses incurred by an Indemnified Person in defending a Legal Action shall be paid by the company in advance of such Legal Action’s final disposition upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the company. Such expenses incurred by other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and

18

conditions, if any, as the company deems appropriate. The indemnification and advancement of expenses set forth in this article 40 shall continue as to an Indemnified Person who has ceased to be a named Indemnified Person and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, administrators, successors and permitted assigns of such a person.

40.7 Persons who are not covered by the foregoing provisions of this article 40 and who are or were partners, employees or agents of the company, or who are or were serving at the request of the company as employees or agents of another limited liability company, corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, may be indemnified to the extent authorized at any time or from time to time by the company.

40.8 The provisions of this article 40 shall be deemed to be a contract right between the company and each person who serves in such capacity at any time while this article 40 and the relevant provisions of applicable law are in effect, and any repeal or modification of this article 40 or any such law shall not affect any rights or obligations then existing with respect to any state of facts or Legal Action then existing. The indemnification and other rights provided for in this article 40 shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of any Indemnified Person. Except as provided in this article 40, the company shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a Legal Action initiated by such person only if such Legal Action was authorized by the Board.

40.9 For purposes of this article 40, references to “the company” shall include, in addition to the resulting company, any constituent company (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its managers, managing directors, supervisory directors, executive directors or non-executive directors, officers, employees or agents, so that any Person who is or was a manager, managing director, supervisory director, executive director or non-executive director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent company, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent company as a managing director, supervisory director, executive director or non-executive director, officer, employee or agent of another company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under this article 40 with respect to the resulting or surviving company as he or she would have with respect to such constituent company if its separate existence had continued. For purposes of this article 40, references to “other enterprise(s)” shall include employee benefit plans; references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to any employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the company” shall include any service as a manager, officer, employee or agent of the company that imposes duties on, or involves services by, such manager, officer, employee or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries.

40.10 Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, any indemnity by the company relating to the matters covered in this article 40 shall be provided out of and to the extent of company assets only and no shareholder shall have personal liability on account thereof or shall be required to make additional contributions to help satisfy such indemnity of the company.
