divided into: seventy-five thousand (75,000) seven per cent cumulative preference shares of four
hundred and twenty-eight euro and fifty-seven eurocent (EUR 428.57) each (the 7% cumprefs); two hundred
thousand (200,000) six per cent cumulative preference shares of four hundred and twenty-eight euro and fifty-seven eurocent (EUR 428.57) each (the 6% cumprefs); two thousand four hundred (2,400) ordinary shares of four hundred and twenty-eight euro and fifty-seven eurocent (EUR 428.57) each;
and three billion (3,000,000,000) ordinary shares of sixteen eurocent (EUR 0.16) each.  4.2
The Company may issue shares not yet issued only pursuant to a resolution of the General Meeting or of another corporate body designated for such purpose by a
resolution of the General Meeting. The issue shall be made with due regard to the statutory regulations applicable thereto and, where the authority to resolve thereon is vested in a corporate body other than the Board of Directors, not
otherwise than in accordance with a proposal to such effect by the Board of Directors. The provisions of this paragraph shall apply correspondingly to the granting of rights to subscribe for shares, but shall not apply to the issue of shares to
a person who is exercising a previously acquired right to subscribe for shares.


Reduction of capital Article 5 The General Meeting may with due observance of section 2:99 of the Civil Code
resolve to reduce the issued capital by a cancellation of shares or by a reduction of the nominal value of the shares by alteration of the Articles of Association. Repurchase of shares Article 6  6.1
The Company may acquire fully paid ordinary and preference shares in its capital as well as depositary receipts for shares also otherwise than for no consideration,
subject to the statutory regulations applicable thereto.  6.2
The Company may, without authorisation of the General Meeting, acquire shares in its capital or depositary receipts for shares for the purpose of transferring such to
employees in the service of the Company or of a group company by virtue of an arrangement applicable to them. These shares and depositary receipts have to be included in the price list of a stock exchange. Section III Shares in the giro
system; collective depot; giro depot; fractional shares; share register and share certificates Article 7  7.1
The ordinary shares of four hundred and twenty-eight euro and fifty-seven eurocent (EUR 428.57) each are numbered 1 to 2,400 inclusive. The other ordinary shares are
numbered from 2,401 onwards, without prejudice to the provisions of Article 9 and Article 11 hereof, regarding the numbering of share certificates and of bookings in the share register respectively. The classes of preference shares are numbered from
1 onwards and carry an indication of their class (6% and 7%, respectively).  7.2
All shares shall be in registered form.  7.3
When a share is issued, the transfer for the purpose of incorporation of that share in the giro depot or a collective depot for the respective class of shares can be
effected by the Company without the cooperation of the other affiliated institutions and the other participants in the collective depot. For that purpose it is sufficient that the Company enters the share of that class of shares in the share
register in the name of the central institute or the intermediary, as the case may be, thereby stating the fact that the share has become part of the giro depot or the respective collective depot for that class of shares, as the case may be, and the
other information meant in Article 11, paragraph 2, and the central institute or the intermediary, as the case may be, accepts the transfer. The ordinary shares numbered 1 to 2,400 inclusive cannot be transferred for the purpose of incorporation in
a collective depot or the giro depot.  7.4
If a share is transferred for the purpose of incorporation in a collective depot, the transfer shall be accepted by the relevant
intermediary. If a share is transferred for incorporation in the giro depot, the central institute shall accept the transfer. The transfer of a share for which

|------------------------------------ |  |  | - | 
|Unilever N.V.Articles of Association |  |  | 2 | 



---

a share certificate has been issued for the purpose of incorporation in a collective depot or the giro depot, can only be effected provided the share certificate has been delivered to the
Company for the purpose of cancellation. The transfer and acceptance may take place without cooperation of the other participants in the collective depot and without the cooperation of other affiliated institutions.  7.5
An affiliated institution may transfer shares for the purpose of incorporation into the giro depot. The central institute may only deliver shares from the giro depot to
the extent that delivery is allowed under the Act on securities transactions by giro. An intermediary may only deliver shares from the collective depot to the extent that delivery is allowed under the Act on securities transactions by giro.  7.6
The Board of Directors may split shares into fractional shares. Fractional shares of the same class, together representing the nominal amount of a share of that class,
may be combined into one share by the Board of Directors at the request of the holder of such fractional shares. The provisions of these Articles of Association relating to shares, share certificates and shareholders shall also apply to fractional
shares, fractional share certificates and holders of fractional shares, save in so far as the contrary is expressed or follows from the meaning of the relevant provision. Community of property of shares or depositary receipts for shares Article 8  8.1
If shares or depositary receipts for shares form part of a community of property other than a community of property resulting from the application of the Act on
securities transactions by giro, the Company is entitled to admit one person only, designated in writing by the joint participants in that other community of property, to exercise the rights attached to such shares or depositary receipts,
except where otherwise provided by law or these Articles of Association. The joint participants in that other community of property may also designate more than one person. If that other community of property comprises shares, the joint participants
in that other community of property may determine at the time of the designation of the representative or thereafter  but only unanimously  that, if a joint participant in that other community of property so wishes, a number of
votes corresponding to his interest in that other community of property will be cast in accordance with his instructions. The Company shall record these instructions in the share register referred to in Article 11 hereof.  8.2
If in respect of a share the shareholder rights vest in more than one person, then in these Articles of Association, notwithstanding the provisions of the first
paragraph, shareholder shall mean the joint holders of that share. Furthermore, when mentioning is
made of a request or any other action by a shareholder, these Articles of Association shall refer to the corresponding action of a person, who is authorised to perform that action on behalf of the shareholder or pursuant to his own right to perform
that action, except where otherwise provided by law or these Articles of Association.


What has been provided above, shall correspondingly apply to depositary receipts for
shares issued with the cooperation of the Company. Share certificates Article 9  9.1
In respect of ordinary shares of sixteen eurocent (EUR 0.16) not being shares registered in the name of the central institute or an intermediary, at the request of
the shareholder, registered share certificates can be issued to shareholders in addition to a booking, but only if the Board of Directors honours this request in view of stock exchange regulations applicable abroad or customary foreign stock
exchange practice. The share certificates shall be obtainable for single shares and also for as many
shares as the Board of Directors may direct.  9.2
The registered share certificates shall be obtainable in the form of a mantle without dividend coupons.  9.3
The share certificates shall each bear a number to distinguish share certificates.  9.4
The mantles of the share certificates shall be signed on or before issue by two members of the Board of Directors or by a member of the Board of Directors and a
Secretary. The date of signing shall be shown against the signatures. Furthermore share certificates shall be
countersigned by one or more persons designated by the Board of Directors for that purpose.  9.5
The form and text of the share certificates shall be determined by the Board of Directors with due regard to the provisions of the preceding paragraphs hereof.  9.6
Without prejudice to the provisions of Article 10 hereof, a share certificate or a part thereof may be cancelled only if surrendered to the Company for
cancellation or if it relates to a share cancelled with due regard to the statutory regulations. Cancellation shall be effected by or by virtue of a resolution of the Board of Directors. Duplicate share certificates Article 10  10.1
Without prejudice to the provisions of the law the Board of Directors may, to replace any share certificate lost, mislaid or damaged, issue in place thereof, subject to
such conditions and on such security being given as the Board of Directors shall deem necessary, either a new share certificate, or a duplicate bearing the same number as the document which it replaces and showing clearly that it is
a duplicate.  10.2
At the time of issue of such new document or duplicate the document which it replaces shall become null and void.  10.3
Any expenses incurred in complying with the conditions stipulated by the Board of Directors and in issuing the new document or duplicate may be charged to the
applicant.

Share register Article 11  11.1
By or on behalf of the Company a register shall be kept which shall record for each shareholder not being a participant, his name, the address to which he wishes any
communications or documents relating to his share to be sent and, in the case of shares for which share certificates are outstanding, the number of such share certificate. Entries and bookings shall be recorded separately even though they concern one and the same shareholder.  11.2
In the event that shares have been transferred to an intermediary for the purpose of incorporation in a collective depot or to the central institute for the purpose
of incorporation in the giro depot, the name and address of the intermediary or the central institute, as the case may be, shall be entered in the register, together with the date on which the shares have been incorporated in a collective
depot or the giro depot, as the case may be, as well as the date of acknowledgement or service of transfer.  11.3
The register mentioned in paragraph 1 may consist of several parts, and it may be kept either wholly or partly, in more than one original copy and in more than one
place, at the Board of Directors discretion. The form and contents of the share register and the
particulars to be recorded therein shall be determined by the Board of Directors with due regard to the provisions of this Article and the relevant statutory regulations. The Board of Directors may determine that the records shall vary
according to whether they relate to entries in respect of shares for which share certificates have been issued, or to bookings.  11.4
Where particulars of an entry or booking or any alteration therein are recorded at the shareholders request, the Board of Directors may stipulate that such
request shall be made in writing and be duly signed by the shareholder.  11.5
Each booking shall relate to one class of shares only. It shall be given a number or a letter or letters together with a number, and it shall record for each
shareholder the number and class of shares held by him and, besides the particulars mentioned in paragraph 1 hereof, the way in which he wishes payment to be made of dividends and any other cash distributions due to him on such shares. With due
observance of the provisions of Article 41 payment shall be made into a bank account in the Netherlands, unless the Board of Directors at the shareholders request allows payment to be effected otherwise.  11.6
If there is any alteration in any of the particulars recorded in a booking, such alteration shall be recorded against the booking in the share register.  11.7
Every initial booking and every addition or deletion shall show the date on which it is recorded in the register and shall be certified by means of the signatures of a
member of the Board of Directors and of a Secretary. The Board of Directors may decide that the signature of a member of the Board of Directors or of a Secretary or of both may be


substituted by the signature of persons specially authorised for that purpose by the Board of Directors, provided always that every booking, addition or deletion shall in all cases be certified
by means of two different signatures.  11.8
The Company shall have discharged its obligations arising from the rights attached to a registered share if, in fulfilment thereof, it relies on the particulars
recorded in the share register in accordance with the provisions of the preceding paragraphs hereof and of Article 8 hereof and shall bear no responsibility for acts as referred to in this Article and in Articles 8, 12, 13 and 14 hereof which it
performs at the request of a person whom it takes in good faith to be the person entitled to exercise the rights concerned or his representative. The Company shall not be obliged to examine the authenticity of signatures, power of disposition,
power of representation or capacity to act, unless in the circumstances of the case failure to do so would be considered to be gross negligence on the part of the Company. Exchange of registered share certificates Article 12  12.1
If the holder of one or more registered share certificates lodging these with the Company for cancellation so requests then, subject to the provisions of Articles 7 and
9 hereof and any directions given by virtue thereof, he shall instead of such share certificates and for the same total nominal amount have issued to him one or more new share certificates, each for as many shares as he requests and/or have a new
booking or addition, as mentioned in Article 11 hereof, recorded in his name in the share register.  12.2
If a shareholder in whose name a booking has been recorded so requests then, subject to the provisions of Articles 7 and 9 hereof and any directions given by virtue
thereof, he shall instead of such booking and after deletion thereof, have issued to him one or more share certificates for the same total nominal amount, each for as many shares as he requests.  12.3
The Board of Directors may require a request as mentioned in this Article to be made on a form obtainable free of charge from the Company which shall be signed by the
shareholder.  12.4
A request by a shareholder as mentioned in Article 11, paragraph 3 hereof or as mentioned in this Article, and the lodgment with the Company of a share certificate or
of an instrument as referred to in Article 13, paragraph 3, hereof, shall be made at the place to be designated for this purpose by the Board of Directors. Different places may be designated for different classes of shares.  12.5
For each cancellation or issue of a share certificate pursuant to the provisions of this Article and of Article 13 hereof the Company shall be entitled, subject to the
relevant statutory regulations, to charge a reasonable sum to the applicant.  12.6
The provisions of this Article are mutatis mutandis applicable to those who hold a right of usufruct or a right of pledge on one or more shares.

Section IV Transfer of shares Article 13  13.1
The following provisions shall apply to the transfer of a share, notwithstanding Article 7, paragraphs 3 up to and including 5.  13.2
The transfer of a share shall require an instrument intended for such purpose and, save when the Company itself is a party to such legal act, the written
acknowledgement by the Company of the transfer. The acknowledgement shall be made in the instrument or by a dated statement on the instrument or on a copy or extract thereof mentioning the acknowledgement signed as a true copy by the notary or
the transferor, or in the manner referred to in paragraph 3. Service of such instrument or such copy or extract on the Company shall be considered to have the same effect as an acknowledgement. The instrument may be placed on
the reverse side of a share certificate. In the case of a transfer of shares not paid up in full, the acknowledgement may be made only if the instrument has a recorded, or otherwise fixed, date.  13.3
Where a share certificate has been issued for a share the surrender to the Company of the share certificate shall also be required for such transfer. Such requirement
shall not apply if the share certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed and cannot be replaced according to Article 10. If the share certificate is surrendered to the Company, the Company may acknowledge the transfer by making an annotation
on such share certificate as proof of the acknowledgement or by replacing the surrendered certificate by a new share certificate registered in the name of the transferee with due observance of Article 9, paragraph 1.  13.4
After deletion of the existing booking in the share register an initial booking or an addition as referred to in Article 11 shall be recorded in the name of the person
entitled to the share. Additional transfer requirements Article 14  14.1
The provisions of Article 13 hereof shall apply correspondingly to:  a.
the allocation of a share upon the division of any community of property;  b.
the creation and transfer of a right of usufruct or the creation of a right of pledge on a share. A pledge may also be established without an acknowledgement by or
service on the Company. In that case section 3:239 of the Civil Code shall apply mutatis mutandis, whereby the acknowledgement by or service on the Company shall take the place of the notice referred to in paragraph 3 of that section.  14.2
The transfer of a share as a result of a foreclosure shall take place in accordance with the relevant statutory regulations in force, provided that if a share
certificate for the share is outstanding the lodgment of the share certificate with the Company shall also be required for the transfer of ownership.


Section V Special provisions relating to the ordinary shares numbered 1 to 2,400 inclusive Article 15  15.1
Ordinary shares belonging to the series numbered 1 to 2,400 inclusive may be transferred by the holder only to one or more other holders of such shares numbered 1 to

shares registered in the name of their legal predecessor or in the name of such partnership, association or company, successively and in such order as they may desire, to all the other holders of such shares at a price based on the price last
quoted on Euronext for the ordinary shares of the Company prior to the date of the offer.  16.2
The heirs-at-law, legal successors or liquidators mentioned in the preceding paragraph shall, not later than three months after the date of the said death or resolution
for dissolution, give notice thereof in writing to the Board of Directors, specifying the person or persons to whom, in accordance with the provisions aforesaid, they wish the transfer of the said shares numbered 1 to 2,400 inclusive,
belonging to their legal predecessor or the partnership, association or company as the case may be to be effected, at the same time lodging with the Board of Directors an instrument of transfer of ownership, as mentioned in Article 13, paragraph 2
hereof.  16.3
The provisions of the foregoing paragraphs of this Article may be deviated from with the consent of all the holders of the ordinary shares numbered 1 to 2,400
inclusive, given unanimously at a meeting of such holders, at which all such holders are present or represented. Article 17  17.1
If the notice mentioned in the preceding Article hereof, together with the specification and the instrument have not been lodged with the Board of
Directors within the period stated in the said Article, the Board of Directors shall notify the other holders of the ordinary shares numbered 1 to 2,400 inclusive accordingly, at the same time convening a meeting of the holders of such shares.

Company prior to the date of such designation.  17.2

of Directors shall notify the heirs-at-law, legal successors or liquidators concerned accordingly within fourteen days after such meeting.  17.3

name of the dissolved partnership, association or company, to the person or persons designated by the said meeting within fourteen days after notification of such designation to them, the Board of Directors may effect such transfer themselves by
signing on their behalf an instrument as mentioned in Article 13, paragraph 2 hereof; such transfer shall be recorded at the same time in the share register mentioned in Article 11 hereof. Article 18 All announcements and

corresponding general meeting of Unilever PLC or at any adjournment thereof (and if such a resolution has not been or is not passed, such appointment shall not be capable of becoming effective). The corresponding general meeting of
Unilever PLC means the Unilever PLC general meeting which is closest in time to, or which takes place at the same time as, the relevant General Meeting of the Company. Pending one or more vacancies the Board of Directors remains properly constituted.  19.6
A resolution to appoint a member of the Board of Directors in a General Meeting can only be validly taken in respect of a person nominated whose name was included
in the agenda of such General Meeting or in the notes thereto.  19.7
The remuneration of the Executive Directors shall be determined by the Board of Directors.  19.8
Each of the Non-Executive Directors shall be paid a fee at such rate as may from time to time be determined by the Board of Directors provided that the

any other duties currently or previously performed by them at the Companys request;  b.
any damages payable by them as a result of an act or failure to act as referred to under a;  c.
the reasonable costs of appearing in other legal proceedings in which they are involved as current or former members of the Board of Directors, with the exception of

reimbursement as referred to above if and to the extent that (i) a Dutch court has established in a final and conclusive decision that the act or failure to act of the person concerned may be characterised as wilful
(opzettelijk), intentionally reckless (bewust roekeloos) or seriously culpable (ernstig verwijtbaar) conduct, unless Dutch law provides otherwise or this would, in view of the circumstances of the case, be
unacceptable according to standards of reasonableness and fairness, or (ii) the costs or financial loss of the person concerned are covered by an insurance and the insurer has paid out the costs or financial loss. If and to the extent

authorised to attend a General Meeting may, either in person or by written proxy, by electronic means of communication directly take note of the business transacted at a General Meeting. The Board of Directors may resolve that each person authorised to attend and to vote at a General Meeting may by electronic means of
communication, either in person or by written proxy, (i) vote at that meeting and/or (ii) participate in that meeting. For that purpose it must be secured that such person can be identified through the electronic means of

The Board of Directors may attach conditions to the use of the electronic means of communication, which conditions shall be announced at the convocation of the General Meeting and shall be posted on the

invalidate the business conducted at the General Meeting. Without prejudice to the other provisions of this Article, the Board of Directors may make arrangements for a General Meeting of the
Company to be held partially or entirely simultaneously with a general meeting of PLC with respect to the admittance to the General Meeting of the Company from one or more locations and with respect to addressing the General Meeting of the Company
and the general meeting of PLC simultaneously from one or more locations.  29.3
The Board of Directors shall determine the location at which any General Meeting of the Company shall take place in accordance with these Articles of Association. Where the Board of Directors determines that other persons as mentioned in the previous paragraph have
admittance to the General Meeting, adequate facilities shall be made available (including by use of any means of communication) to ensure that those persons at each location have a reasonable opportunity to see and hear any other person who is
entitled to address the meeting from any other location, and, if addressing the meeting, have a reasonable opportunity to be seen and heard by any other who is present in a meeting at any other location. Where, upon commencement of or during any General Meeting, a General Meeting does not, or ceases to, satisfy the requirements of the
previous sentence, the chairman of the General Meeting shall adjourn the meeting and such adjournment shall be communicated to each relevant location as soon as possible. The chairman of the General Meeting may take such action as he deems necessary to attempt to continue the business of the meeting,
including temporarily adjourning the meeting for such length as he deems necessary to resolve any communication issues. In
the event of an adjournment, any business conducted at the General Meeting shall not be treated as invalid by reason of the circumstances leading to the adjournment. If the communication cannot be restored within the period of such adjournment,
the chairman of the General Meeting shall continue the meeting. The General Meeting will remain fully entitled to deliberate about and to resolve on all agenda items.  29.4
A person who derives his right to attend shareholders meetings from his shares or his representative is only admitted to the General Meeting, when the Company has
received a written notification of his intention to attend the meeting, at the place and ultimately on the day as referred to in the notice of the meeting.  29.5
Persons entitled to attend the General Meeting are those who at the record date laid down by law have these rights derived from their shares and have been registered as
such in a register designated by the Board of Directors for that purpose, regardless of who would have been entitled to attend the General Meeting based on the rights derived from shares if no record date as contemplated in this paragraph should
have been determined. The record date shall be the twenty-eighth day prior to the day of the meeting, unless the law prescribes another record date or


offers the opportunity for another record date. In the latter case the Board of Directors shall determine the record date. The convocation notice for the meeting shall state the record date and
the manner in which the persons who derive their right to attend the General Meeting from their shares may register and exercise their rights.  29.6
The Board of Directors may decide that persons entitled to attend and to vote at a General Meeting may, within a period prior to the General Meeting to be set by the
Board of Directors, which period cannot begin prior to the record date as meant in the previous paragraph, cast their votes electronically in a manner to be decided by the Board of Directors and/or, if permitted by law, by post. Votes cast in
accordance with the previous sentence are equal to votes cast at the meeting.  29.7
In the event that the powers mentioned in paragraph 1 will be exercised by a proxy authorised in writing, the proxy must have been received by the Company by not later
than the date determined by the Board of Directors as referred to in paragraph 6. The requirement that a power

The profit shown by the adopted Annual Accounts for the preceding financial year shall, after the reserves which have to be kept by virtue of the law or the agreement

applied as follows.  38.2
Firstly, to the holders of the 7% cumprefs and 6% cumprefs shall be paid a dividend of seven per cent and six per cent, respectively calculated on the basis of the

If the amount of the profit remaining after application of paragraph 1 hereof is not sufficient to implement in full the provisions of paragraph 2 hereof, such
amount shall be distributed among the holders of the 7% cumprefs and 6% cumprefs in such manner that the percentages of dividend payable on the 7% cumprefs and 6% cumprefs shall be in the ratio of seven to six.  38.4
In the event mentioned in paragraph 3 hereof, the deficit shall be made good in subsequent years, provided always that the profits of subsequent years remaining after

Distribution in the form of shares Article 40 Resolutions to make a distribution in whole or in part by issuing shares in the
capital of the Company may be passed only by the corporate body authorised to resolve on the distribution, without prejudice to the powers that might be vested in another corporate body with regard to the issue of shares not yet issued. Payment of distributions Article 41  41.1
The Board of Directors shall determine the place or places where a distribution is obtainable. At least one place in the Netherlands shall be designated for this
purpose for all classes of shares, except for shares for which a share certificate has been issued.  41.2
If, as regards the latter shares, a cash dividend is made obtainable only outside the Netherlands, the payment shall be made on these shares in the currency of the
country concerned calculated at the Euro foreign exchange reference rates as published by the European Central Bank or at another rate of exchange to be determined by the Board of Directors, in either case at the day which is one day prior to the
date on which such distribution is resolved upon or on another day to be determined by the Board of Directors. If and to the extent that on the first day on which the distribution is obtainable the Company, in consequence of Government action, war or other exceptional circumstances beyond its control, is
unable to make payment at the place designated outside the Netherlands or in the foreign currency, the Board of Directors may to that extent designate one or more places in the Netherlands instead, in which event the provisions of the
preceding sentence hereof shall to that extent no longer apply.  41.3

collective depot or the giro depot.  41.4

share register, the Company shall be released as against the person entitled thereto by placing whatsoever is obtainable at the disposal of or dealing therewith as instructed by the person in whose name the share is recorded at the time fixed for
such purpose by the Board of Directors. Different times may be fixed for the two categories mentioned in this paragraph.  41.5
Any resolution to make a distribution, and the places and times mentioned in this Article shall be made known in such manner as the Board of Directors may consider
appropriate.

of Directors. Such resolutions shall require the approval of the holders of ordinary shares, given by majority vote at a meeting of such holders at which at least one-half of the total issued ordinary capital of the Company is

Company is represented.

In connection with the alteration of the Articles of Association which took effect on the tenth day of May one thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine,
the ordinary shares with a nominal value of one Dutch guilder (NLG 1) as then stated in the Articles of Association held by each shareholder have been converted into such number of ordinary shares with a nominal value of one Dutch guilder and twelve
cents (NLG 1.12) as then stated in the Articles of Association, as results from multiplying the total

number of ordinary shares of one Dutch guilder (NLG 1) as stated in the Articles of Association prior to such alteration of the Articles of Association held by such shareholder with one
hundred/one hundred twelfth. A possible fraction of one ordinary share of one Dutch guilder and twelve cents (NLG 1.12) as then stated in the Articles of Association resulting from this multiplication has been converted into one or more subshares of
ordinary shares of one Dutch guilder and twelve cents (NLG 1.12) as then stated in the Articles of Association, hereafter called Scrips, of one cent (NLG 0.01) as then stated in the Articles of Association, with if necessary a rounding
upward to a full Scrip. In connection with an alteration of the Articles of Association which has become
effective on the twenty-second day of May two thousand and six, a Scrip shall be deemed to be a subshare entitled to three/one hundred and twelfth (3/112) part of one (1) ordinary share with a nominal value of sixteen eurocent
(EUR 0.16) each.  46.2
As long as Scrips are outstanding as a consequence of conversion of ordinary shares as provided in this Article, the following provisions apply.  46.3
The Scrips are to bearer. Only bearer certificates will be issued for the Scrips, together with a dividend sheet, not consisting of separate dividend coupons.  46.4
Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 3 , the provisions of Title 4 of Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code on shares and shareholders apply accordingly to Scrips and
holders of Scrips, to the extent not stipulated otherwise in those provisions.  46.5
The provisions of these Articles of Association on ordinary shares respectively on holders of such shares apply accordingly to Scrips and holders of Scrips, to the
extent those provisions and the paragraphs 6, 7 and 8 hereafter do not stipulate otherwise.  46.6
The holder of a Scrip can not elect to register the Scrip in his name. The Board of Directors may determine that a Scrip, whether or not temporarily, shall be in
registered form.  46.7
Every holder of a Scrip is entitled to three/one hundred and twelfth (3/112) of the (interim) dividend and any other distribution to which the holder of an
ordinary share is entitled.  46.8
In the event the holder of a Scrip acquires such number of Scrips that he holds in total one hundred and twelve (112) or more Scrips, then, in deviation from
what has been provided in Article 7, paragraph 6, each time one hundred and twelve (112) Scrips held by him are automatically converted in three ordinary shares with a nominal value of sixteen eurocent (EUR 0.16) each, for which the
Company shall enter the holder of these shares in the share register, unless that shareholder elects for a direct transfer for incorporation in a collective depot. Certificates to bearer of Scrips which will then be converted have to be
delivered to the Company. The Company may charge costs for conversion.


Article 47  47.1
The share certificates issued before the tenth day of May one thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine according to Model B for ordinary shares with a nominal value
of one Dutch guilder (NLG 1) as then stated in the Articles of Association had to be exchanged after the alteration to the Articles of Association which took effect on the tenth day of May one thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine by the
relevant shareholder for share certificates according to Model B of ordinary shares with a nominal value of one Dutch guilder and twelve cents (NLG 1.12) as stated in the Articles of Association following such alteration of the Articles of
Association by applying the calculation set forth in Article 46, paragraph 1. In connection with the split of one ordinary share into three ordinary shares of nominal value sixteen eurocent (EUR 0.16) each, the share certificates according to
Model B which have not been exchanged on the twenty-second day of May two thousand and six are since that date deemed to be share certificates according to Model B with a nominal value of sixteen eurocent (EUR 0.16). The Company may charge
costs for such exchange.  47.2
Contrary to the provision of paragraph 1 of this Article, every registered share certificate in respect of an ordinary share which is co-signed by the financial
institution at that time designated and which is issued in pursuance of a version of these Articles of Association in force prior to the tenth day of May one thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine, will have to be returned to a financial institution
designated by the Company, in exchange for which the shareholders will be directly registered in the New York share register of the Company maintained by the financial institution designated by the Company. Certificates of shares will only be issued
to these shareholders at their request and the Company may charge costs for such issuing of certificates. In order to exercise rights attached to the registered shares in respect of which certificates have been issued which are co-signed by the
financial institution at that time designated, after the thirtieth day of July one thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine, the holders of such shares will have to have exchanged these certificates for a direct registration in the New York share
register of the Company maintained by the financial institution designated by the Company.  47.3
Every booking before the tenth day of May one thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine in the share register of ordinary shares of one Dutch guilder (NLG 1) will be deemed
to be a registration of such number of ordinary shares with a nominal value of sixteen eurocent (EUR 0.16) as results from applying the calculation described in Article 46, paragraph 1. Scrips are not registered in the share register, unless
the Board of Directors has determined that a Scrip, whether or not temporarily, shall be in registered form or that the provisions of Article 46, paragraph 8 are applicable.  47.4
Reference is made to the following transitional provision which forms part of the Articles of Association as from the thirteenth day of October nineteen hundred and
ninety-seven:

In order to exercise rights attached to ordinary shares of four Dutch guilders each
outstanding on the thirteenth day of October one thousand nine hundred and ninety-seven and in respect of which type A certificates have been issued, after the first day of March one thousand nine hundred and ninety-eight, the holders of such shares
will have to have exchanged the type A share certificates into type B share certificates in respect of ordinary shares of one Dutch guilder (NLG 1). Article 48 As a consequence of an alteration of the Articles of Association on the twenty-second
day of May two thousand and six each ordinary share with a nominal value of forty-eight eurocent (EUR 0.48) is split into three ordinary shares with a nominal value of sixteen eurocent (EUR 0.16) each. Dematerialisation and split Article 49  49.1

(or have their rights exercised), as long as they (a) have not been entered into the share register or (b) have not delivered their shares for incorporation in a collective depot to an affiliated institution, all of this subject to the
provisions of Article 46, paragraph 3.  49.2
An entry in the share register and a delivery as meant in the preceding paragraph hereof can only take place against delivery of the relevant share certificates to
the Company. After expiry of the financial year two thousand and six the Company may charge the cost for the registration in the share register as meant in this Article.  49.3
Share certificates for registered shares expressed in Dutch guilder must, unless Article 50 applies, be delivered to the Company and at the request of the shareholder
concerned for these share certificates either, with due observance of Article 9, paragraph 1, share certificates can be issued with the appropriate nominal value expressed in euro or  if possible  a transfer shall take place
for incorporation in a collective depot to an affiliated institution.

ordinary shares of four hundred and twenty-eight euro and fifty-seven eurocent (EUR 428.57) each, numbered 1 to 2,400 inclusive, in existence before the coming into effect of the alteration of the Articles of Association of the sixteenth day of
May two thousand and seven lapse and cease to be valid per that date, such in deviation from Article 9, paragraph 6. Registered share
