ING Bank will ensure that the transfer by ING Support Holding B.V. to ING Bank on the Completion Date of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement, will not in any way adversely affect the functioning, composition and expertise of the Operating Committee (including but not limited to market outlook output). 

After redemption of all Registered Bonds, the Operating Committee has the right to unanimously agree on an amendment of the
days on which the State Instalment Announcement Date and/or the State Payment Date falls, provided that such dates should be in line with the other then outstanding illiquid assets back up facility agreements.

	 	(a)	 If a Security is trading at or above its par value plus accrued interest, the State has the right to instruct ING Bank in writing to sell, on a

	 	(b)	 If a Security is trading below its par value plus accrued interest, the State has the right to instruct ING Bank in writing on a commercial best
efforts basis, to sell the Proportion Percentage of such Security at or above the price level indicated by the State.

payable pursuant to Clause 8.3) the State will cause the Fair Market Value of the Securities to be determined in accordance with the following procedure: 



 

	 	(i)	 within ten (10) Dutch Business Days (or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter) the State, (A) at the costs of ING Bank, will appoint
three Valuation Agents and shall instruct the same to determine the IFRS Fair Market Value of the Securities within twenty (20) Dutch Business Days of such appointment or as soon as is reasonably practicable thereafter, and (B) shall
designate two of the Valuation Agents as primary Valuation Agents; 


  

	 	(ii)	 if (i) the difference between the valuations by the primary Valuation Agents of the Fair Market Value of the Securities is ten per cent.
(10%) or less, (calculated as (the difference between the valuation of the primary Valuation Agents) / (average of such valuations)) the Fair Market Value of the Securities shall be the average of such two valuations, and the third expert
valuation will be disregarded; if (ii) such difference is greater than ten per cent. (10%) then the Fair Market Value of the Securities should be the average between the third expert valuation and the valuation of the Valuation Agent from
the other two that is the closest to the third expert valuation (if the differential is identical, the Fair Market Value of the Securities will be the average of the three).

	 	(c)	 The Fair Market Value will be due and payable five (5) Dutch Business Days from the date of the receipt of notification referred to in Clause 12.4

Until the Fair Market Value has become due and payable, ING Bank remains obliged to pay the State Proportions in accordance
with Clause 5 (Payments by ING Bank) and the Fair Market Value will be reduced with amounts received by the State as State Proportions after the date as of which the Fair Market Value was determined.

pursuant to this Agreement and shall be without prejudice to any other action and remedies afforded to the State under Dutch statutory law and this Agreement as a result of any non-payment by ING Bank when due including the statutory right to
suspend payments (opschortingsrecht) or its statutory right of set off (verrekening) in respect of its own payment obligations under this Agreement. 


 13. CONDITIONS TO PAYMENT 
  

	 	(a)	 The State’s obligation to pay any amounts due and payable under this Agreement (up to an aggregate amount equal to the Fair Market Value) at a
time when the Fair Market Value has become due and payable shall be subject to the condition that payment has been made by or on behalf of ING Bank to the State of the Fair Market Value. 



 

	 	(b)	 The State’s obligation to pay the Management Fee when due and payable under this Agreement (up to an amount equal to any due and payable but
unpaid Guarantee Fees) shall be subject to the condition that payment has been made by or on behalf of ING Bank of the Guarantee Fee.
