Preferred Securityholders, waive any past Event of Default and its
consequences, except an Event of Default in respect of a term or provision
hereof which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of each
Preferred Securityholder. Upon such waiver, any such Event of Default shall

extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any
right consequent thereon.

within 90 days after the occurrence of an Event of Default, transmit by mail,
first class postage prepaid, to the Preferred Securityholders, notices of all
Events of Default actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Manager
Trustee, unless such defaults have been cured before the giving of such notice,

notice if and so long as a Responsible Officer of the Manager Trustee in good
faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the
Preferred Securityholders.

     (b) The Manager Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Event
of Default unless the Manager Trustee shall have received written notice, or a
Responsible Officer of the Manager Trustee charged with the administration of
the Agreement shall have obtained actual knowledge, of such Event of Default.

to the Manager Trustee in respect of enforcing the rights of such class under
this Agreement or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Manager
Trustee under this Agreement.

     (b) If the Manager Trustee fails to enforce its rights under this
Agreement after a Preferred Securityholder has made a written request, such
Preferred Securityholder may institute a legal proceeding directly against the
Company to enforce the Manager Trustee's rights under this Agreement, without
first instituting a legal proceeding against the Manager Trustee or any other
person or entity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company has failed to
make any payment of dividends declared, a Preferred Securityholder may take any
action authorized by this Agreement and may directly institute a proceeding in
such Preferred Securityholder's own name against the Company for enforcement of
this Agreement for such payment or the Guarantor for enforcement of the LLC
Guarantee.

                                      12
<PAGE>

cessation of title shall be effective whether or not conveyancing documents
have been executed and delivered pursuant to the appointment of such Successor
Manager Trustee.

     (b) If an Event of Default actually known to a Responsible Officer of the
Manager Trustee has occurred and is continuing, the Manager Trustee shall
enforce this Agreement for the benefit of the Preferred Securityholders.

after the curing or waiver of all Events of Default that may have occurred,
shall undertake to perform only such duties as are specifically set forth in
this Agreement, and no implied covenants shall be read into this Agreement
against the Manager Trustee. In case an Event of Default has occurred (that has
not been cured or waived pursuant to Section 2.06) and is actually known to a
Responsible Officer of the Manager Trustee, the Manager Trustee shall exercise
such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and use the same
degree of care and skill in its exercise thereof, as a prudent person would
exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own
affairs.

     (d) No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the
Manager Trustee from liability for its own grossly negligent action, its own
grossly negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:

          (i) Prior to the occurrence of any Event of Default and after the
     curing or waiving of all such Events of Default that may have occurred:

          such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this
          Agreement, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into
          this Agreement against the Manager Trustee; and

               (B) in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Manager
          Trustee, the Manager Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth
          of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed
          therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Manager
          Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement; but in
          the case of any such certificates or opinions that by any provision
          hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Manager
          Trustee, the Manager Trustee shall be

                                      13

          under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they
          conform to the requirements of this Agreement (but need not confirm
          or investigate the accuracy or any mathematical calculations or other
          facts stated therein);

          (ii) The Manager Trustee shall not be liable for any error of
     judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer of the Manager
     Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Manager Trustee was grossly
     negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts upon which such judgment was
     made;

          (iii) The Manager Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any
     action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with
     the direction of the Securityholders relating to the time, method and
     place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Manager
     Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Manager
     Trustee under this Agreement; and

          (iv) No provision of this Agreement shall require the Manager Trustee
     to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial
     liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of
     any of its rights or powers, if the Manager Trustee shall have reasonable
     grounds for believing that the repayment of such funds or liability is not
     assured to it under the terms of this Agreement or indemnity, satisfactory
     to the Manager Trustee, against such risk or liability is not reasonably
     assured to it.

     Section 3.02. Certain Rights of Manager Trustee. (a) Subject to the
provisions of Section 3.01:

     and indemnity, satisfactory to the Manager Trustee, against the costs,

     Manager Trustee's agents, nominees or custodians) and liabilities that
     might be incurred by it in complying with such request or direction,
     including such reasonable advances as may be requested by the Manager
     Trustee; provided that, nothing contained in this Section 3.02(a)(vi)

     Event of Default, of its obligation to exercise the rights and powers
     vested in it by this Agreement.

          (vii) The Manager Trustee shall not be bound to make any
     investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution,
     certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,
     direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of
     indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Manager Trustee, in its

     Section 6.01. Purposes and Powers. The sole purposes of the Company are:

     (a) to issue Preferred Securities and Common Securities,

     (b) to invest the proceeds thereof in the Initial Intercompany Securities
and upon maturity or redemption thereof, in securities issued by the Guarantor,
the Bank, or a non-U.S. affiliate thereof (the "Successor Intercompany
Securities"), so long as any such reinvestment does not cause the Company to be
considered to be an "investment company" within the meaning of the 1940 Act,
provided that, prior to such reinvestment, (i) the Bank has received an opinion
of a nationally recognized law firm or other tax advisor in the Netherlands to
the effect that payments of interest on and principal of the Successor
Intercompany Securities would not be subject to Additional Amounts, and (ii)
Holding will agree to cause the issuer of the Successor Intercompany Securities
and the Company to use their best efforts to maintain the eligibility of the
Trust Preferred Securities for clearance through Euroclear and Clearstream.

     (c) to enter into and, under the circumstances set forth in Section
10.02(h) hereof, to enforce the Contingent Guarantee for the sole benefit of
the Preferred Securityholders, and

     (d) except as otherwise expressly limited herein, to enter into, make and
perform all contracts and other undertakings, and engage in all activities and
transactions, as the Board of Directors may reasonably deem necessary or
advisable for the carrying out of the foregoing purposes of the Company, in all
events without causing the Company to be treated as other than a partnership
that is not a publicly traded partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
The Company may not conduct any other business or operations except as
contemplated by the preceding sentence. The Company shall have the power and
authority to take any and all actions necessary, appropriate, proper,
advisable,

                                      20
<PAGE>

incidental or convenient to or for the furtherance of the purposes of the
Company as set forth herein.

     Section 6.02. By-Laws. The Board of Directors, Officers and
Securityholders shall be subject to the express provisions of this Agreement
and of the By-Laws. In case of any conflict between any provisions of this
Agreement and any provisions of the By-Laws, the provisions of this Agreement
shall control.

                                   ARTICLE 7
               CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS; ALLOCATIONS AND SECURITIES

     Section 7.01. Form of Contribution. The contribution to the Company with
respect to a Securityholder may, as determined by the Board of Directors in its
discretion, be in cash or other legal consideration.

     Section 7.02. Contributions with Respect to the Common Securityholder. The
Common Securityholder shall contribute to the Company on or prior to the
Closing Date, in connection with the purchase of Common Securities, cash in the
amount of $1,000.00.

     Section 7.03. Contributions with Respect to the Preferred Securityholders.
On the Closing Date with respect to the issuance of Preferred Securities, the
Trust shall, in exchange for a definitive Preferred Certificate, contribute to
the capital of the Company on behalf of the Trust an amount in cash equal to
the gross proceeds from the sale of the Trust Preferred Securities and the
Trust Common Securities (such amount being a capital contribution to the
Company). Preferred Securityholders, in their capacity as Securityholders of
the Company, shall not be required to make any additional contributions to the
Company (except as may be required by law).

     Section 7.04. Allocation of Profits and Losses. Except as otherwise
provided in Section 10.01 or Section 10.02, the profits and losses of the
Company for any Fiscal Year (or portion thereof) shall be allocated as follows:

     (a) all gains and losses resulting from any disposition of assets
(including, without limitation, any redemption or prepayment of assets) by the
Company shall be allocated 100% to the Common Securityholders;

     (b) gross income of the Company for each Dividend Period (determined
without regard to the amount of any gains and losses described in subparagraph
(a) of this Section 7.04) shall be allocated on the record date for payment on
the Preferred Securities (i) pro rata among the Preferred Securityholders until
the

                                      21
<PAGE>

amount so allocated to each Preferred Securityholder equals the amount of
dividends declared and attributable to such Period (or portion thereof) and
(ii) thereafter to the Common Securityholders; and

     (c) expenses, deductions and losses (if any) of the Company (determined
without regard to the amount of any gains and losses described in subparagraph
(a) of this Section 7.04) shall be allocated 100% to the Common Securityholder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Tax Matters Partner shall have the power to
alter any such allocations for federal, state, and local income tax purposes if
such alteration is necessary to cause such allocations to have "substantial
economic effect" (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704
1(b)(2)) or to ensure that such allocations are otherwise in accordance with
the interests of the Securityholders (within the meaning of Treasury
Regulations Section 1.704 1(b)(3)) determined on the basis of the economic
arrangements of the parties as described in this Agreement.

     Section 7.05. Withholding. The Company shall comply with any withholding
requirements under federal, state and local law and the laws of any Relevant
Jurisdiction and shall remit amounts withheld to and file required forms with
applicable jurisdictions. Subject to the provisions of Section 10.02, to the
extent that the Company is required to withhold and pay over any amounts to any
authority with respect to distributions or allocations to any Securityholder,
the amount withheld shall be deemed to be a distribution in the amount of the
withholding to such Securityholder. To the fullest extent permitted by law, in
the event of any claimed over withholding, Securityholders shall be limited to
an action against the applicable jurisdiction. If the amount withheld was not
withheld from actual distributions, the Company may reduce subsequent
distributions by the amount of such withholding, except with respect to
distributions on the Preferred Securities. Each Securityholder, by its
acceptance of Securities, shall be deemed to agree to furnish the Company with
any representations and forms as shall reasonably be requested by the Company
to assist it in determining the extent of, and in fulfilling, its withholding
obligations.

     Section 7.06. Securities as Personal Property. Each Securityholder hereby
agrees that its Securities shall for all purposes be personal property. A
Securityholder has no interest in specific property of the Company.

                                      22

Securityholders pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement and of the
By-Laws, and shall be subject in all respects to the provisions hereof and
thereof.

     Section 8.02. Partition. Each Securityholder waives any and all rights
that it may have to maintain an action for partition of the property of the
Company.

     Section 8.03. Resignation. A Securityholder may resign from the Company
prior to the dissolution and winding up of the Company only upon the assignment
of its entire ownership interest in any Securities (including as a result of
any redemption, repurchase or other acquisition by the Company of such
Securities) in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. A resigning
Securityholder shall not be entitled to receive any distribution and shall not
otherwise be entitled to receive the fair value of its Securities except as
otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement.

     Section 8.04. Liability of Securityholders. (a) Except as otherwise
provided by the Delaware Act, (i) the debts, obligations and liabilities of the
Company, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be solely the
debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company and (ii) no Securityholder
shall be obligated personally for any such debt, obligation or liability of the
Company solely by reason of being a Securityholder of the Company.

     (b) A Securityholder, in its capacity as such, shall have no liability in
excess of (i) the amount of its capital contributions, (ii) its share of any
assets and undistributed profits of the Company, (iii) any amounts required to
be paid by such Securityholder pursuant to this Agreement or any payment and/or
indemnity in connection with the registration of transfers of Securities and
(iv) the amount of any distributions wrongfully distributed to it to the
extent set forth in the Delaware Act.

required under this Agreement shall be determined, solely and exclusively

                                      23

by the Board of Directors, which shall have all rights and powers on behalf and
in the name of the Company to perform all acts necessary or desirable to the
objects and purposes of the Company, including the right to appoint Officers
and to authorize any Officer to act on behalf of the Company. Any action taken
by the Board of Directors or any duly appointed and acting Officer in
accordance with this Agreement or the By-Laws shall constitute the act of, and
shall serve to bind, the Company.

     (b) The number of directors of the Company initially shall be four, which
number may be increased as provided in this Agreement or in the By-Laws, but
shall never be less than four nor more than seven. The names of the Directors,
who shall serve until the first annual meeting of Securityholders, if any, and
until their successors are duly elected and qualify, are set forth in Annex B
hereto. These Directors may increase the number of Directors and may fill any
vacancy, whether resulting from an increase in the number of directors or
otherwise, on the Board of Directors occurring before the first annual meeting
of Securityholders in the manner provided in the By-Laws. Two Independent
Directors may be appointed to the Board of Directors pursuant to Section
10.02(i)(ii) under the circumstances set forth therein. Each such Independent
Director shall have all the rights, powers and authorities of a Director to
participate in actions by the Board of Directors on behalf of the Company. The
Guarantee Independent Director may be appointed to the Board of Directors
pursuant to Section 10.02(i)(iii) under the circumstances set forth therein.
The Guarantee Independent Director shall have the sole authority, right and
power to enforce the claim of the Company under the Contingent Guarantee and
shall have no right, power or authority to participate in the management of the
business and affairs of the Company by the Board of Directors whatsoever,
except for actions related to the enforcement of the Contingent Guarantee on
behalf of the Company and the distribution of the Contingent Distribution to
the Preferred Securityholders pursuant to Section 10.02(h). The names of the
initial Officers, and their offices, are set forth in Annex B hereto. Each such
Officer shall have the duties and responsibilities that would apply to his or
her office if the Company were a corporation established under the Delaware
General Corporation Law, except to the extent that the Directors from time to
time determine otherwise.

     (c) Each member of the Board of Directors shall be a "manager" of the
Company for all purposes of, and within the meaning of, the Delaware Act.

     (d) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject to the
provisions of Section 9.02, the Board of Directors shall have all authority,
rights and powers in the management of the business of the Company to do any
and all other acts and things necessary, proper, convenient or advisable to
effectuate the purposes of this Agreement; provided that in exercising its
authority, rights and powers in the management of the business of the Company,
the Board of

                                      24
<PAGE>

Directors shall use commercially reasonable efforts in order that any such
action does not cause the Company to be treated as an association or as a
"publicly traded partnership" (within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code),
including, by way of illustration but not by way of limitation, the following:

          (i) to authorize the Company or any Officer of the Company on behalf

     Company of one or more agreements with any person, corporation,
     association, company, trust, partnership (limited or general) or other

     of Directors, any such other person, corporation, association, company,
     trust, partnership (limited or general) or other organization shall render
     or make available to the Company managerial, investment, advisory or
     related services, office space and other services and facilities upon such
     terms and conditions as may be provided in such agreement or agreements
     (including, if deemed fair and equitable by the Board of Directors, the

          (viii) to establish or set aside in their discretion any reserve or
     reserves for contingencies and for any other proper Company purpose;

particular investment opportunity to the Company even if such opportunity is of
a character that, if presented to the Company, could be taken by the Company,
and any Director, Officer, Securityholder or Affiliate thereof shall have the

Directors. A Guarantee Independent Director appointed pursuant to Section

dividends or other matters affecting the rights of the Preferred
Securityholders as set forth in Section 10.02, take into account only the
interests of the holders of the Preferred Securities and, with respect to all
other matters, the interests of both the Common Securityholders and the
Preferred Securityholders. To the fullest extent permitted by law, including,
without limitation, Section 18-1101(c) of the Delaware Act, in considering the

distribution.

respect of the right to receive dividends or other distributions, including the
Contingent Distribution under the Contingent Guarantee, and junior to the
Common Securities in the right to receive payments out of the assets of the
Company upon voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation, winding up or
termination of the Company in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
All Preferred Securities redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired by the
Company shall be canceled.

Certificate. Common Securities shall not be evidenced by any certificate or
other written instrument, but shall only be evidenced by this Agreement.

     (f) Upon issuance of the Preferred Securities as provided in this
Agreement, the Preferred Securities so issued shall be deemed to be validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

     (g) In purchasing the Preferred Securities, each Preferred Securityholder
agrees with AANAH and the Company that AANAH, the Company and the Preferred
Securityholders will treat Preferred Securityholders as holders of the
Preferred Securities in the Company for all purposes, and not as the holders of
an interest in AANAH or in any other Person.

     Section 10.02. Preferred Securities.

     (a) Designation. There shall hereby be designated as a class of Preferred
Securities the 6.25% Non-cumulative Guaranteed LLC Preferred Securities (the
"Preferred Securities"). The Preferred Securities shall have a liquidation
amount of $25.00 per Preferred Security.

     (b) Dividend Rights. (i) Preferred Securityholders shall be entitled to
receive when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors out of assets of the

                                      30
<PAGE>

Company legally available therefor, cash dividends from the date of original
issuance of the Preferred Securities payable on a noncumulative basis,
quarterly in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of
each year (each a "Dividend Payment Date") commencing December 31, 2003.
"Dividend Periods" shall commence on a Dividend Payment Date, and end on the
day that precedes the next succeeding Dividend Payment Date; provided, however,
that the first Dividend Period shall commence on and include the original issue
date of the Preferred Securities and shall end on and include December 31,
2003.

          (ii) With respect to each Dividend Period, dividends shall be payable
     on the liquidation amount of the Preferred Securities at the Dividend
     Rate, calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
     If the last day of March, June, September and December of any year is not
     a Business Day, then the relevant Dividend Payment Date shall be the next
     succeeding Business Day (without any accrual of interest or other payment
     to such next succeeding Business Day); provided that if such Business Day
     is in the next succeeding calendar year, then the relevant Dividend
     Payment Date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day (without any
     reduction in interest or other amounts in respect of such early payment).

          (iii) Each declared dividend shall be payable to the Holders of
     record of the Preferred Securities as they appear on the securities
     register of the Company at the close of business on the corresponding
     record date. The record dates for the Preferred Securities shall be (A)
     for as long as either (I) the Preferred Securities are in book-entry form
     or (II) the Preferred Securities are held by the Trust and the Trust
     Preferred Securities remain in book-entry form, one Business Day prior to
     the relevant Dividend Payment Date and (B) in the event that neither the
     Preferred Securities nor the Trust Preferred Securities are in book-entry
     form, the 15th day of the month in which the relevant Dividend Payment
     Date occurs (without regard to Section 10.02(b)(ii) hereof).

          (iv) The right of Preferred Securityholders to receive dividends is
     non-cumulative. Accordingly, except as otherwise provided in this
     Agreement, if the Board of Directors does not declare a dividend in
     respect of any Dividend Period, Preferred Securityholders shall have no
     right to receive a dividend in respect of such Dividend Period, and the
     Company shall have no obligation to pay a dividend in respect of such
     Dividend Period, whether or not dividends are declared payable in respect
     of any future Dividend Period.

          (v) If any Preferred Securities are outstanding, no dividends or
     other distributions shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment on

                                      31
<PAGE>

     any Common Securities for any Dividend Period unless all dividends, if
     any, in respect of the relevant Dividend Period have been declared, at the
     Dividend Rate, and paid in full.

          (vi) The declaration of dividends on the Preferred Securities shall
     not be authorized in respect of any Dividend Period to the extent that:

               (A) in accordance with applicable Netherlands banking
          regulations, the Guarantor would be limited in making dividends or
          other payments on its Parity Preferred Shares; or

               (B) (I) the Guarantor has not made or declared any dividend or
          other payment for the most recent dividend period for which the
          determination has been made on the Parity Preferred Shares or under
          the Parity Guarantees and (II) no subsidiary of the Guarantor has
          made or declared any dividend or other payment for the most recent
          dividend period for which the determination has been made on any
          Parity Subsidiary Securities.

               (vii) Notwithstanding clause (vi), the Board of Directors shall
          be authorized to declare dividends at the Dividend Rate in full on
          the Preferred Securities on:

                    (x) the four consecutive Dividend Payment Dates
               contemporaneous with and/or immediately following the date on
               which the Guarantor or any of its subsidiaries (I) declares or
               makes a dividend or other payment on the Ordinary Shares that
               pay dividends annually, or (II) redeems, repurchases or
               otherwise acquires any Ordinary Shares or any Parity Securities
               (other than (A) in connection with transactions effected by or
               for the account of customers of the Guarantor or any of its
               subsidiaries or in connection with the distribution, trading or
               market-making in respect of such securities, (B) in connection
               with the satisfaction by the Guarantor or any of its
               subsidiaries of its obligations under any employee benefit plans
               or similar arrangements with or for the benefit of employees,
               officers, directors or consultants, (C) as a result of a
               reclassification of the capital stock of the Guarantor or any of
               its subsidiaries or the exchange or conversion of one class or
               series of such capital stock for another class or series of such
               capital stock or (D) the purchase of fractional interests in
               shares of the capital stock of the Guarantor or any of its
               subsidiaries pursuant to the conversion or exchange provisions
               of such capital stock or the security being converted or
               exchanged) for any

                                      32
<PAGE>

               consideration (or any moneys are paid to or made available for a
               sinking fund or for redemption of such securities) (except by
               conversion into or in exchange for Ordinary Shares),

                    (y) the two consecutive Dividend Payment Dates
               contemporaneous with and/or immediately following the date on
               which a dividend or other payment is declared or made on the
               Ordinary Shares that pay dividends semi-annually, if any, or

                    (z) the next Dividend Payment Date that is either
               contemporaneous with, or immediately following the date on which
               a dividend or other payment is declared or made on the Ordinary
               Shares that pay dividends quarterly, if any.

               (viii) Notwithstanding clause (vi), the Board of Directors shall
          be authorized to declare dividends on a pro rata basis on the
          Preferred Securities on:

                    (x) the four consecutive Dividend Payment Dates
               contemporaneous with and/or immediately following the date on
               which a dividend or other payment is declared or made on the
               Parity Securities that pay dividends annually, if any,

                    (y) the two consecutive Dividend Payment Dates
               contemporaneous with and/or immediately following the date on
               which a dividend or other payment is declared or made on the
               Parity Securities that pay dividends semi-annually, if any, or

                    (z) the next Dividend Payment Date that is either
               contemporaneous with, or immediately following, the date on
               which a dividend or other payment is declared or made on the
               Parity Securities that pay dividends quarterly, if any.

               (ix) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or
          the Delaware Act, if the Board of Directors does not declare
          dividends on the Preferred Securities, when, and to the extent
          authorized under clauses (vii) or (viii) above, then such dividends
          on the Preferred Securities shall be deemed declared to the extent
          authorized, and the Preferred Securityholders shall be entitled to
          receive such dividends without any further act, vote or approval of
          the Board of Directors, any Securityholder or any other Person.

     (c) Payments of Additional Amounts. All payments in respect of the
Preferred Securities by the Company shall be made without withholding or

                                      33
<PAGE>

deduction for or on account of any Relevant Tax, unless the withholding or
deduction of such Relevant Tax is required by law. In that event, the Company
shall pay, as further dividends, such additional amounts as may be necessary in
order that the net amounts received by the Preferred Securityholders after such
withholding or deduction will equal the amount which would have been received
in respect of the Preferred Securities in the absence of such withholding or
deduction (the "Additional Amounts"), except that no Additional Amounts are
payable to a Preferred Securityholder (or to a third party on such Preferred
Securityholder's behalf) with respect to any Preferred Securities (i) to the
extent that such Relevant Tax is imposed or levied by virtue of such Preferred
Securityholder (or the beneficial owner of such Preferred Securities) or a
Holder or beneficial owner of Trust Securities having some connection with the
Relevant Jurisdiction, other than being a Preferred Securityholder (or
beneficial owner) of such Preferred Securities or a beneficial owner of Trust
Securities (ii) to the extent that such Relevant Tax is imposed or levied by
virtue of such Preferred Securityholder (or beneficial owner) or a beneficial
owner of Trust Securities not having made a declaration of non-residence in, or
other lack of connection with, the Relevant Jurisdiction or any similar claim
for exemption, if the Guarantor or its agent has provided the beneficial owner
of such Preferred Securities or Trust Securities or its nominee with at least
60 days' prior written notice of an opportunity to make such a declaration or
claim, or (iii) where such withholding or deduction is imposed on a payment to
an individual and is required to be made pursuant to any European Union
Directive on the taxation of savings implementing the conclusions of the ECOFIN
Council meeting of June 3, 2003 or any law implementing or complying with, or
introduced in order to conform to or substantially similar to such Directive.

     (d) Redemption Terms. (i) On or after September 30, 2008, the Preferred
Securities shall be redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole or in
part, subject to prior approval of the Guarantor and the Dutch Central Bank, if
such approval is required at the time of redemption, at a redemption price of
$25.00 per Preferred Security, plus Additional Amounts, if any, plus any
accumulated and unpaid dividends for the then current Dividend Period through
the date of redemption ("Redemption Price").

          (ii) If fewer than all the outstanding Preferred Securities are to be
     redeemed, then the number of Preferred Securities to be redeemed shall be
     determined by the Board of Directors, and the securities to be redeemed
     shall be determined by lot or pro rata as may be determined by the Board
     of Directors in its sole discretion to be equitable, provided, that such
     method satisfies any applicable requirements of any securities exchange on
     which the Preferred Securities or any Trust Preferred Securities may then
     be listed and, if the Preferred Securities or Trust Preferred Securities
     are then held by DTC or its nominee in the form of a global security, any

                                      34
<PAGE>

     applicable requirements of DTC. The Company shall promptly notify the
     Registrar and Transfer Agent for the Preferred Securities in writing of
     the Preferred Securities selected for partial redemption and, in the case
     of any Preferred Securities selected for partial redemption, the
     liquidation preference thereof to be redeemed.

          (iii) Upon the occurrence of a Special Redemption Event, the Company
     shall have the right to redeem the Preferred Securities in whole (but not
     in part), at any time, subject to prior approval of the Guarantor and the
     Dutch Central Bank, if such approval is required at the time of
     redemption, at the Redemption Price.

          (iv) In the event that payment of the Redemption Price in respect of
     any Preferred Securities is improperly withheld or refused and not paid
     either by the Company or by the Guarantor pursuant to the LLC Guarantee,
     dividends on such Preferred Securities, shall continue to accumulate from
     the date fixed for redemption to the date of actual payment of such
     Redemption Price.

     Any redemption of Preferred Securities, whether at the option of the
Company or upon the occurrence of a Special Redemption Event, shall not require
the vote or consent of any of the Preferred Securityholders and may be effected
only with the prior approval of the Guarantor and the Dutch Central Bank, if
required.

     (e) Redemption Procedures. (i) Notice of any redemption of Preferred
Securities (a "Redemption Notice") will be given by the Board of Directors on
behalf of the Company by mail to each Preferred Securityholder to be redeemed
not fewer than 30 nor more than 60 days before the date fixed for redemption.
For purposes of the calculation of the date of redemption and the dates on
which notices are given pursuant to this Section 10.02(e)(i), a Redemption
Notice shall be deemed to be given on the day such notice is first mailed, by
first-class mail, postage prepaid, to Preferred Securityholders. Each
Redemption Notice shall be addressed to the Preferred Securityholders at the
address of each such Holder appearing in the books and records of the Company.
No defect in the Redemption Notice or in the mailing thereof with respect to
any Holder shall affect the validity of the redemption proceedings with respect
to any other Holder.

          (ii) If the Company gives a Redemption Notice (which notice will be
     irrevocable), then by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the redemption
     date, the Board of Directors on behalf of the Company (A) if the Preferred
     Securities are in book-entry only form with DTC, will deposit irrevocably
     with DTC funds sufficient to pay the applicable Redemption Price and will
     give DTC irrevocable instructions and

                                      35
<PAGE>

     authority to pay the Redemption Price in respect of the Preferred
     Securities held through DTC in global form or (B) if the Preferred
     Securities are held in certificated form, will deposit with the Paying
     Agent, funds sufficient to pay the applicable Redemption Price of the
     amount of any such Preferred Securities and will give to the Paying Agent
     irrevocable instructions and authority to pay such amounts to the
     Preferred Securityholders, upon surrender of their certificates, by check,
     mailed to the address of the relevant Preferred Securityholder appearing
     on the books and records of the Company on the redemption date; provided,
     however, that for so long as the Trust or the Property Trustee of the
     Trust shall hold the Preferred Securities, payment of cash shall be made
     by wire in same day funds to the Preferred Securityholder by 12:00 noon,
     New York City time, on the redemption date. Upon satisfaction of the
     foregoing conditions, then immediately prior to the close of business on
     the date of such deposit or payment, all rights of Preferred
     Securityholders so called for redemption will cease, except the right of
     the Holders to receive the Redemption Price, but without interest on such
     Redemption Price, and from and after the date fixed for redemption, such
     Preferred Securities will not accumulate dividends or bear interest.

     In the event that any date fixed for redemption of Preferred Securities is
not a Business Day, then payment of the Redemption Price payable on such date
will be made on the next succeeding Business Day (without any accrual of
interest or other payment to such next succeeding Business Day), except that,
if such Business Day falls in the next calendar year, such payment will be made
on the immediately preceding Business Day (without any reduction in interest or
other amounts in respect of any such early payment).

     (f) Liquidation Terms. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the Preferred
Securityholders at the time outstanding shall, subject to the limitations
described herein, be entitled to receive the liquidation preference of $25.00
per Preferred Security, plus, in each case, accumulated and unpaid dividends
for the then current Dividend Period to the date of the final distribution of
assets of the Company, in respect of each Preferred Security held out of the
assets of the Company available for distribution to Securityholders. Such
entitlement shall arise following the liquidation distribution of Intercompany
Securities to the Common Securityholders. In addition, the Guarantee
Independent Director shall enforce the Contingent Guarantee on behalf of the
Company solely for the benefit of the Preferred Securityholders.

     (g) LLC Guarantee. To the extent set forth in the LLC Guarantee, the
Guarantor has agreed to pay to the Preferred Securityholders, as and when due,
the Guarantee Payments (as defined in Section 5.01 of the LLC Guarantee). As

                                      36
<PAGE>

set forth in the LLC Guarantee, the obligations of the Guarantor under the LLC
Guarantee shall be several and independent of the Company's obligations
hereunder. The Preferred Securityholders, by acceptance of such Preferred
Securities, acknowledge and agree to the subordination provisions in, and other
terms of, the LLC Guarantee.

     (h) Contingent Guarantee. To the extent set forth in the Contingent
Guarantee, the Guarantor has agreed to pay to the Company, as and when due, the
Contingent Guarantee Payments (as defined in Section 2.01 of the Contingent
Guarantee). The Contingent Guarantee may not be enforced by anyone other than
the Guarantee Independent Director, appointed pursuant to and under the
circumstances set forth in Section 10.02(i)(iii), acting alone and without the
requirement for a vote or consent of the other members of the Board of
Directors. The Guarantee Independent Director may not enforce the Contingent
Guarantee unless a claim has been made by the Guarantee Trustee or a Preferred
Securityholder under the LLC Guarantee or by the Guarantee Trustee or a Holder
of Trust Securities under the Trust Guarantee and any such claim remains unpaid
for 180 days or more. The Guarantee Independent Director shall enforce the
claim of the Company under the Contingent Guarantee without prejudice to the
claims of the Guarantee Trustee or the Preferred Securityholders under the LLC
Guarantee or of the Guarantee Trustee or the Holders of Trust Securities under
the Trust Guarantee.

     Upon receipt by the Company of payments from the Guarantor in respect of
any claim under the Contingent Guarantee ("Contingent Distribution"), such
payments shall be held by the Company separately from all its other assets, as
a trust for the sole benefit of the Preferred Securityholders, and the
Guarantee Independent Director shall, acting alone and without the requirement
for a vote or consent of the other members of the Board of Directors, have the
sole power to cause the Company to distribute the Contingent Distribution pro
rata to the Holders of record of Preferred Securities, as determined in
accordance with Section 10.02(b)(iii), except to the extent any such Holders
received payments of a related claim under the LLC Guarantee or the Trust
Guarantee.

     (i) Voting Rights. (i) Except as expressly required by applicable law, or
except as indicated below, the Preferred Securityholders shall not be entitled
to vote. In the event the Preferred Securityholders are entitled to vote as
indicated below, each Preferred Security shall be entitled to one vote on
matters on which holders of the Preferred Securities are entitled to vote.

          (ii) If for four consecutive Dividend Periods or any six Dividend
     Periods, dividends on the Preferred Securities and any Additional Amounts
     in respect of such dividends have not been paid at the Dividend Rate in
     full by the Company or by the Guarantor under the LLC

                                      37
<PAGE>

     Guarantee or the Trust Guarantee, the Preferred Securityholders shall be
     entitled to appoint two Independent Directors to the Board of Directors.
     Such Independent Directors shall be elected by ordinary resolution passed
     by a majority of the Preferred Securityholders entitled to vote thereon,
     as determined in accordance with Section 11.01, present in person or by
     proxy at a separate general meeting of such Preferred Securityholders
     convened for that purpose (which shall be called at the request of any
     Preferred Securityholder entitled to vote thereon). Any Independent
     Director so appointed shall vacate office if, in such Independent
     Director's sole determination, dividends on the Preferred Securities have
     been paid regularly at the Dividend Rate in full by the Company or the
     Guarantor under the LLC Guarantee or the Trust Guarantee for one calendar
     year and all other amounts due under the LLC Guarantee, the Trust
     Guarantee and the Contingent Guarantee have been paid. Any such
     Independent Director may be removed with or without cause by, and shall
     not be removed except by, the vote of a majority of the outstanding
     Preferred Securities entitled to vote, at a meeting of the Company's
     Securityholders or of the Preferred Securityholders entitled to vote
     thereon, called for that purpose.

          (iii) Upon the distribution of the Intercompany Securities to the
     holders of the Common Securities or upon the occurrence of the non-payment
     within one day following the making of a claim under the LLC Guarantee by
     the Guarantee Trustee or a Preferred Securityholder or under the Trust
     Guarantee by the Guarantee Trustee or a Holder of Trust Securities, the
     Preferred Securityholders shall be entitled to appoint one independent
     director (the "Guarantee Independent Director"). The Guarantee Independent
     Director shall be elected by ordinary resolution passed by a majority of
     the Preferred Securityholders entitled to vote thereon, as determined in
     accordance with Section 11.01, present in person or by proxy at a separate
     general meeting of such Preferred Securityholders convened for that
     purpose (which shall be called at the request of any Preferred
     Securityholder entitled to vote thereon). Any Guarantee Independent
     Director so appointed shall vacate office if, in such Guarantee
     Independent Director's sole determination, the dividends on the Preferred
     Securities have been paid regularly at the Dividend Rate in full by the
     Company or the Guarantor under the LLC Guarantee or the Trust Guarantee
     for one calendar year and all other amounts due under the LLC Guarantee,
     the Trust Guarantee and the Contingent Guarantee have been paid. Any such
     Guarantee Independent Director may be removed by, and shall not be removed
     except by, the vote of a majority of the outstanding Preferred Securities
     entitled to vote, at a meeting of the Company's Securityholders, or of the
     Preferred Securityholders entitled to vote thereon, called for that
     purpose.

                                      38
<PAGE>

     (j) Listing. If the Preferred Securities are distributed to Holders of
Trust Preferred Securities in connection with the involuntary or voluntary
dissolution, winding-up or liquidation of the Trust, the Company shall use its
commercially reasonable best efforts to cause the Preferred Securities to be
listed on the New York Stock Exchange, Euronext or on such other national
securities exchange or similar organization as the Trust Preferred Securities
are then listed or quoted on.

     Section 10.03. Substitution of Intercompany Securities for Non-Cumulative
Capital Securities.

     (a) Upon the occurrence of a Regulatory Event, the Board of Directors on
behalf of Securityholders will, upon notice by the Bank, effect or procure the
following contemporaneous exchanges:

          (i) the exchange, in whole but not in part, of the Intercompany
     Securities for Non-Cumulative Capital Securities of the Bank having the
     same liquidation preference as the Preferred Securities to which such
     Non-Cumulative Capital Securities relate, paying dividends or
     distributions at the same rate as the Preferred Securities, payable upon
     the same distribution payment dates and having other financial terms
     equivalent in all material respects, as determined in the good faith of
     the Board of Directors, to the Preferred Securities (the "Non-Cumulative
     Capital Securities"); provided however, that the Non-Cumulative Capital
     Securities shall accrue dividends from the date which is the last Dividend
     Payment Date for the Preferred Securities occurring prior to such
     exchange, but will have no rights to receive any accrued Dividends or
     other payments on the Preferred Securities; and

          (ii) the exchange of the Preferred Securities for Non-Cumulative
     Capital Securities to the Preferred Securityholders (a "Substitution
     Event").

     (b) In connection with the exchange of Preferred Securities for
Non-Cumulative Capital Securities upon the occurrence of a Substitution Event:

          (i) The Board of Directors shall instruct the Clearing Agency or the
     Preferred Securityholders, as applicable, to deliver the Preferred
     Securities held by them in the form of the relevant Certificate to the
     Company. Any such transaction will not require the consent of Holders (or
     beneficial owners) of Preferred Securities or any other Person. Each
     Preferred Securityholder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally authorizes
     the Board of Directors to sign on its behalf any instruction or

                                      39
<PAGE>

     other document necessary for the purposes of effecting the exchange
     described in this Section 10.03.

          (ii) The Board of Directors may select any method to effect the
     delivery of the Non-Cumulative Capital Securities to the Preferred
     Securityholders, so long as such method does not result in a materially
     adverse outcome for such Holders relative to the transactions described in
     this Section 10.03.

          (iii) Preferred Securityholders will continue to be entitled to
     receive Dividends and/or any liquidation distributions in respect of the
     Preferred Securities until the exchange is effected as described in this
     Section 10.03.

          (iv) The Board of Directors shall provide to each Holder notice of
     the exchange of the Preferred Securities for the Non-Cumulative Capital
     Securities, but the failure to provide such notice shall not affect the
     validity of such exchange.

     (c) Immediately following the occurrence of the Substitution Event, the
Company shall be liquidated in accordance with Article 18 of this Agreement.

                                  ARTICLE 11
                              VOTING AND MEETINGS

     Section 11.01. Voting Rights of Preferred Securityholders. (a) Except as
shall be otherwise expressly provided herein, in the By-Laws or as otherwise
required by the Delaware Act, the Preferred Securityholders shall have no right
or power to vote on any question or matter or in any proceeding or to be
represented at, or to receive notice of, any meeting of Securityholders.

     (b) Notwithstanding that Securityholders holding Preferred Securities are

Preferred Securities purchased or acquired by the Guarantor or its Affiliates
in connection with transactions effected by or for the account of customers of
the Guarantor or any of its Affiliates or in connection with the distribution
or trading of or market-making in connection with such Preferred Securities;

available for the payment of such dividend to such Securityholder pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement and the Delaware Act, and notwithstanding any
provision of Section 18-606 of the Delaware Act to the contrary, until such
time, a Securityholder shall not have the status of a creditor of the Company,

     Section 16.01. Right of Assignee to Become a Preferred Securityholder. An
assignee shall become a Preferred Securityholder upon compliance with the
provisions of Section 16.05 of this Agreement.

     Section 16.02. Events of Cessation of Security Ownership. A Person shall
cease to be a Securityholder upon the lawful assignment of all of its
Securities (including any redemption or other repurchase by the Company) or as
otherwise provided herein.

     Section 16.03. Persons Deemed Preferred Securityholders. The Company may
treat the Person in whose name any Preferred Securities Certificate shall be
registered on the books and records of the Company as the sole holder of such
Preferred Securities Certificate and of the Preferred Securities represented by
such Preferred Securities Certificate for purposes of receiving dividends or
other distributions and for all other purposes whatsoever and, accordingly,
shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in
such Preferred Securities Certificate or in the Preferred Securities
represented by such Preferred Securities Certificate on the part of any other
Person, whether or not the Company shall have actual or other notice thereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing or

                                      45
<PAGE>

anything to the contrary herein, the Company agrees that at any time that the
Trust shall be a holder of any Preferred Securities, each holder of a preferred
certificate issued by the Trust shall, upon presentation to the Company or the
Registrar of reasonable evidence thereof, have the right to the fullest extent
permitted by law and without the need for any other action of any other person,
including the trustee under the Trust and any other holder of any other of such
preferred certificates, to enforce in the name of the Trust the Trust's rights
under the Preferred Securities represented by the preferred certificates of
such holder.

     Section 16.04. The Preferred Certificates. (a) The Preferred Certificates
shall be issued in minimum denominations of $25.00 liquidation preference and
integral multiples thereof. Each Preferred Certificate shall be signed,
manually, by the President, any Vice President or the Secretary of the Company.
Preferred Certificates bearing the signatures of individuals who were, at the
time when such signatures shall have been affixed, authorized to sign on behalf
of the Company shall be validly issued notwithstanding that such individuals or
any of them shall have ceased to be so authorized prior to the delivery of such
Preferred Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of delivery of
such Preferred Certificates. A transferee of a Preferred Certificate shall
become a Securityholder upon due registration of such Preferred Certificate in
such transferee's name pursuant to Section 16.05.

     (b) Unless and until the Company issues a global Preferred Certificate
pursuant to Section 16.07, the Company shall only issue definitive Preferred
Certificates to the Preferred Securityholders.

If the Preferred Securities are distributed to Holders of the Trust Preferred
Securities in book-entry form in connection with the dissolution, winding up,
termination or liquidation of the Trust, the Company shall cause the Preferred
Securities to be issued in one or more global certificates pursuant to Section
16.07 and registered pursuant to Section 16.05 in the name of DTC, as
depositary, or its nominee.

     Section 16.05. Transfer of Preferred Certificates. (a) The Board of
Directors shall provide for the registration of Preferred Certificates and of
transfers of Preferred Certificates in a record thereof (the "Securities
Register") and shall appoint a securities registrar (the "Registrar") and
transfer agent (the "Transfer Agent") to act on its behalf; provided, however,
that without any action on the part of the Board of Directors being necessary,
the Manager Trustee is hereby appointed as the initial Registrar and Transfer
Agent. Subject to the other provisions of this Article 16, upon surrender for
registration of transfer of any Preferred Certificate, the Board of Directors
shall cause one or more new Preferred Certificates to be issued in the name of
the designated transferee or transferees. Every Preferred Certificate
surrendered for registration of transfer

                                      46
<PAGE>

shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory
to the Board of Directors duly executed by the Preferred Securityholder or his
or her attorney duly authorized in writing. Any registration of transfer shall
be effected upon the Transfer Agent being satisfied with the documents of title
and identity of the person making the request, upon the receipt by the transfer
agent of any applicable certificate relating to transfer restrictions as
described below, and subject to such reasonable regulations as the Company may
from time to time establish. Each Preferred Certificate surrendered for
registration of transfer shall be canceled by the Board of Directors. A
transferee of a Preferred Securities Certificate shall be admitted to the
Company as a Preferred Securityholder and shall be entitled to the rights and
subject to the obligations of a Preferred Securityholder hereunder upon receipt
by such transferee of a Preferred Certificate. By acceptance of a Preferred
Certificate, each transferee shall be bound by this Agreement. The transferor
of a Preferred Certificate, in whole, shall cease to be a Preferred
Securityholder at the time that the transferee of such Preferred Certificate is
admitted to the Company as a Preferred Securityholder in accordance with this
Section 16.05.

     (b) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Preferred
Certificate at the office or agency of the Company or the Registrar maintained
for that purpose (the "Administrator") the Company shall deliver or cause to be
delivered to the Registrar in a form duly executed on behalf of the Company in
the manner provided for in Section 16.05(a) and the Registrar shall countersign
in the manner provided in and to the extent required by Section 16.05(a) and
deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more
new Preferred Certificates in authorized denominations of a like aggregate
liquidation amount dated the date of execution by such Administrator.

     The Registrar shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of
or exchange any Preferred Security during a period beginning at the opening of
business 15 days before the day of selection for redemption of such Preferred
Security and ending at the close of business on the day of mailing of the
notice of redemption, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any
Preferred Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except, in
the case of any such Preferred Security to be redeemed in part, any portion
thereof not to be redeemed.

     No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or
exchange of Preferred Certificates, but the Registrar may require payment of a
sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Preferred Certificates.

     Section 16.06. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Preferred
Certificates. If (a) any mutilated Preferred Certificate shall be surrendered
to the Registrar, or if the Registrar shall receive evidence to its
satisfaction of the

                                      47
<PAGE>

destruction, loss or theft of any Preferred Certificate, and (b) there shall be
delivered to the Registrar and the Company such security or indemnity as may be
required by them to save each of them harmless, then in the absence of notice
that such Preferred Certificate shall have been acquired by a bona fide
purchaser, the Company shall sign, the Registrar shall countersign to the
extent required under Section 16.04(a), and the Company and the Registrar shall
make available for delivery (all in the manner provided for in Section 16.04),
in exchange for or in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
Preferred Certificate, a new Preferred Certificate of like class, tenor and
denomination. In connection with the issuance of any new Preferred Certificate
under this Section 16.06, the Company or the Registrar may require the payment
of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be
imposed in connection therewith. Any duplicate Preferred Certificate issued
pursuant to this Section shall constitute conclusive evidence of a limited
liability company interest in the Company corresponding to that evidenced by
the lost, stolen or destroyed Preferred Certificate, as if originally issued,
whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Preferred Certificate shall be
found at any time.

     Section 16.07. Book-entry Provisions.

     (a) General. The provisions of this Section 16.07 shall apply only in the
even that the Preferred Securities are distributed to the Holder of Trust
Securities in book-entry form in connection with the voluntary or involuntary
dissolution, winding up, termination or liquidation of the Trust. Upon the
occurrence of such an event, a global Preferred Certificate representing the
Book-Entry Interests shall be delivered to DTC, as the initial Clearing Agency,
by or on behalf of the Company, and any previously issued and still outstanding
definitive Preferred Certificates shall be of no further force and effect. The
global Preferred Certificate shall initially be registered on the books and
records of the Company in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of DTC, and no
Preferred Securityholder will receive a new definitive Preferred Certificate
representing such Holder's interests in such Preferred Certificate, except as
provided in Section 16.07(c). In connection with the involuntary or voluntary
dissolution, winding-up, termination or liquidation of the Trust, Cede & Co.,
the nominee of DTC, shall automatically be admitted to the Company as a
Preferred Securityholder. Receipt of the global Preferred Certificate shall be
deemed to constitute a request by Cede & Co., the nominee of DTC, that the
books and records of the Company reflect its admission as a Preferred
Securityholder. Unless and until new definitive, fully registered Preferred
Certificates have been issued to the Preferred Securityholders pursuant to
Section 16.07(c):

          (i) The provisions of this Section shall be in full force and effect;

                                      48
<PAGE>

          (ii) The Company, the Board of Directors, the Manager Trustee, the
     Guarantee Independent Director, if any, and the Registrar and Transfer
     Agent shall be entitled to deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes
     of this Agreement (including the payment of dividends, Redemption Price,
     the Contingent Distribution and liquidation distributions and receiving
     approvals, votes or consents hereunder) as the Preferred Securityholder
     and the sole holder of the Preferred Certificates and shall have no
     obligation to any other Preferred Securityholders;

          (iii) None of the Company, the Trust, the Board of Directors, the
     Manager Trustee, the Guarantee Independent Director, if any, or any agents
     of any of the foregoing shall have any liability or responsibility for any
     aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of
     beneficial ownership interests in a global Preferred Certificate for such
     beneficial ownership interests or for maintaining, supervising or
     reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests; and

          (iv) Except as provided in Section 16.07(c) below, the Preferred
     Securityholders will not be entitled to receive physical delivery of the
     Preferred Securities in definitive form and will not be considered Holders
     thereof for any purpose under this Agreement, and no global Preferred
     Certificate representing Preferred Securities shall be exchangeable,
     except for another global Preferred Certificate of like denomination and
     tenor to be registered in the name of DTC or Cede & Co., or to a successor
     depositary or its nominee. Accordingly, each Preferred Securityholder must
     rely on the procedures of DTC or if such person is not a Participant, on
     the procedures of the Participant through which such person owns its
     interest to exercise any rights of a Preferred Securityholder under the
     Agreement.

     (b) Notices To Clearing Agency. Whenever a notice or other communication
to the Preferred Securityholders is required under this Agreement, unless and
until definitive Preferred Certificates shall have been issued to the Preferred
Securityholder pursuant to Section 16.07(c), the Company, the Board of
Directors, the Manager Trustee and the Guarantee Independent Director, if any,
shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to
the Preferred Securityholders to the Clearing Agency, and shall have no
obligations to any other Preferred Securityholders.

     (c) Definitive Preferred Certificates. Definitive Preferred Certificates
shall be prepared by the Company and exchangeable for the global Preferred
Certificate if and only if (i) the depositary (A) notifies the Company that it
is unwilling or unable to continue its services as a securities depositary and
no successor depositary shall have been appointed or (B) at any time, ceases to
be a

                                      49
<PAGE>

Clearing Agency registered under the Exchange Act at such time as the
depositary is required to be so registered to act as such depositary, or (ii)
there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default (as defined in
the Trust Guarantee or the LLC Guarantee) or any event which after notice or
lapse of time or both would be an Event of Default (as defined in the Trust
Guarantee or the LLC Guarantee) under the Trust Guarantee or the LLC Guarantee.
Upon surrender of the global Preferred Certificate representing the Book-Entry
Interests by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions, the
Board of Directors or authorized Officer shall cause definitive Preferred
Certificates to be delivered to Preferred Securityholders in accordance with
the instructions of the Clearing Agency. None of the Board of Directors,
authorized Officers and the Company shall be liable for any delay in delivery
of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in
relying on, such instructions. Any Person receiving a definitive Preferred
Certificate in accordance with this Section 16.07 shall be admitted to the
Company as a Preferred Securityholder upon receipt of such definitive Preferred
Certificate and shall be registered on the books and records of the Company as
a Preferred Securityholder. The Clearing Agency or the nominee of the Clearing
Agency, as the case may be, shall cease to be a Preferred Securityholder under
this Section 16.07(c) at the time that at least one additional Person is
admitted to the Company as a Preferred Securityholder in accordance herewith.
The definitive Preferred Certificates shall be printed, lithographed or
engraved or may be produced in any other manner as may be required by any
national securities exchange on which Preferred Securities may be listed and is
reasonably acceptable to any Officer of the Company, as evidenced by his or her
execution thereof.

     Section 16.08. Transfer of Common Securities. AANAH, as the initial holder
of the Common Securities shall have the right to transfer the Common Securities
to the Guarantor, the Bank or any one or more Qualified Subsidiaries. No Person
other than the Guarantor, the Bank, AANAH or one or more Qualified Subsidiaries
is permitted to own the Common Securities.

not cause the Trust Preferred Securities (or, in the event that the Trust is
liquidated, the Preferred Securities (including any Successor Securities)) to
be downgraded by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization, (v)

adversely affect the powers, preferences and other special rights of the

replacement would not cause the Trust to be classified as other than a grantor

                    DISSOLUTION, LIQUIDATION AND TERMINATION

     Section 18.01. No Dissolution. The Company shall not be dissolved by the
admission of Securityholders. The death, insanity, retirement, resignation,
expulsion, bankruptcy or dissolution of a Securityholder, or the occurrence of
any other event which terminates the continued membership of a Securityholder
in the Company, shall not in and of itself cause the Company to be dissolved
and its affairs wound up. Upon the occurrence of any such event, the business
of the Company shall be continued without dissolution. The bankruptcy of a
Securityholder (as defined in Sections 18-101(1) and 18-304 of the Delaware
Act) shall not cause a Securityholder to cease to be a member of the Company,
and upon the occurrence of any such event the existence of the Company shall
continue without dissolution.

     Section 18.02. Events Causing Dissolution. The Company shall be dissolved
and its affairs shall be wound up upon the occurrence of any of the following
events:

     (a) a decree or order by a court having jurisdiction in the premises shall
have been entered adjudging the Company a bankrupt or insolvent, or approving
as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or
composition of the Company under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy or
similar law, and such decree or order shall have continued undischarged and
unstayed for a period of 90 days; or a decree or order of a court having
jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a receiver, liquidator,
trustee, assignee, sequestrator or similar official in bankruptcy or insolvency
of the Company or of all or substantially all of its property, or for the
winding up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered, and such
decree or order shall have continued undischarged and unstayed for a period of
90 days or the Company shall institute proceedings to be adjudicated a
voluntary bankrupt, or shall consent to the filing of a bankruptcy proceeding
against it, or shall file a petition or answer or consent seeking
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition under any applicable
federal or state bankruptcy or similar law, or shall consent to the filing of
any such petition, or shall consent to the appointment of a receiver,
liquidator, trustee, assignee, sequestrator or similar official in bankruptcy
or insolvency of the Company or of all or substantially all of its property, or
shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall admit in
writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due and its

                                      52
<PAGE>

willingness to be adjudged a bankrupt, or corporate action shall be taken by
the Company in furtherance of any of the aforesaid purposes;

     (b) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the Company under
Section 18-802 of the Delaware Act;

     (c) the entry of a judgment initiating judicial liquidation in respect of
the Guarantor or the Bank under Netherlands law or any other liquidation of the
Guarantor or the Bank under Netherlands law;

     (d) in connection with the redemption, repurchase or exchange of all
outstanding Preferred Securities; or

     (e) the written consent of all Securityholders.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, not be dissolved until all claims under the LLC Guarantee,
the Trust Guarantee and the Contingent Guarantee shall have been paid in full
pursuant to the terms of the LLC Guarantee, the Trust Guarantee or the
Contingent Guarantee, as the case may be, and the Contingent Distribution, if
any, shall have been made.

     Section 18.03. Notice of Dissolution. Upon the dissolution of the Company,
the Board of Directors shall promptly notify the Securityholders of such
dissolution.

     Section 18.04. Liquidation. Upon dissolution of the Company, the Board of
Directors or, in the event that the dissolution is caused by an event described
in Sections 18.02(b) or (c) of this Agreement and there are no Directors, a
Person or Persons who may be approved by the Preferred Securityholders holding
not less than a 66-2/3% in liquidation amount of the Preferred Securities, as
liquidating trustees, shall immediately commence to wind up the Company's
affairs; provided, however, that a reasonable time shall be allowed for the
orderly liquidation of the assets of the Company and the satisfaction of
liabilities to creditors so as to minimize the losses attendant upon a
liquidation. The proceeds of liquidation shall be distributed, as realized, in
the manner provided in Section 18-804 of the Delaware Act.

     Section 18.05. Termination. The Company shall terminate when all of the
assets of the Company have been distributed in the manner provided for in this
Article 18, and the Certificate shall have been canceled in the manner required
by the Delaware Act.

                                 MISCELLANEOUS

     Section 19.01. Amendments. This Agreement may only be amended by a written
instrument executed by an Officer designated by the Board of Directors without
the consent of any Preferred Securityholder; provided, however, that no
amendment shall be made, and any such purported amendment shall be void and
ineffective, to the extent either that such amendment (a) would have a material
adverse effect on a Preferred Securityholder or a Holder or beneficial owner of
Trust Securities (including, without limitation, amendments to Sections 9.02
and 9.07), (b) would result in the Company being deemed to be required to
register under the 1940 Act, (c) would result in causing the Company to be
treated as anything other than a partnership that is not a publicly traded
partnership for purposes of United States federal income taxation, or (d) has
not received the prior requisite approval of the holders of the Preferred
Securityholders, as may be expressly provided in this Agreement or the By-Laws.

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, for so long as
any Preferred Security remains outstanding, the Board of Directors shall not
cause, or permit, any amendment to Section 10.02(b), 10.02(h), or 10.02(i)(iii)
of this Agreement, unless such amendment shall have received the prior
unanimous approval of all Preferred Securityholders entitled to give such
approval, as determined in accordance with Section 11.01.

     Section 19.02. Amendment of Certificate. In the event this Agreement shall
be amended pursuant to Section 19.01, the Board of Directors shall cause the
Certificate to be amended to reflect such change if it deems such amendment of
the Certificate to be necessary or appropriate.

Section 19.03. Successors. This Agreement shall be binding as to the
executors, administrators, estates, heirs and legal successors, or nominees or
representatives, of the Securityholders.

     Section 19.04. Law; Severability. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS OF PARTIES
HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE
STATE OF DELAWARE WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS. In
particular, this Agreement shall be construed to the maximum extent possible to
comply with all of the terms and conditions of the Delaware Act. If,
nevertheless, it shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that
any provisions or wording of this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable
under the Delaware Act or other applicable law, such invalidity or
unenforceability shall not invalidate the entire Agreement. In that case, this
Agreement shall be construed so as to limit any term or provision so as to make
it enforceable or valid

                                      54
<PAGE>

within the requirements of applicable law, and, in the event such term or
provisions cannot be so limited, this Agreement shall be construed to omit such
invalid or unenforceable provisions. If it shall be determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction that any provision relating to the distributions and
allocations of the Company or to any fee payable by the Company is invalid or
unenforceable, this Agreement shall be construed or interpreted so as (a) to
make it enforceable or valid and (b) to make the distributions and allocations
as closely equivalent to those set forth in this Agreement as is permissible
under applicable law.

     Section 19.05. Filings. Following the execution and delivery of this
Agreement, the Board of Directors shall cause to be promptly prepared any
documents required to be filed and recorded under the Delaware Act, and the
Board of Directors shall cause to be promptly filed and recorded each such
document in accordance with the Delaware Act and, to the extent required by
local law, to be filed and recorded or notice thereof to be published in the
appropriate place in each jurisdiction in which the Company may hereafter
establish a place of business. The Board of Directors shall also promptly cause
to be filed, recorded and published such statements of fictitious business name
and any other notices, certificates, statements or other instruments required
by any provision of any applicable law of the United States or any state or
other jurisdiction which governs the conduct of its business from time to time.

     Section 19.06. Power of Attorney. Each Securityholder does hereby
constitute and appoint each Person specifically authorized by the Board of
Directors to act as its true and lawful representative and attorney in fact, in
its name, place and stead to make, execute, sign, deliver and file (a) any
amendment of the Certificate required because of an amendment to this Agreement
or in order to effectuate any change in the ownership of the Securities of the
Company, (b) any amendments to this Agreement made in accordance with the terms
hereof and (c) all such other instruments, documents and certificates which may
from time to time be required by the laws of the United States of America, the
State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction, or any political subdivision or
agency thereof, to effectuate, implement and continue the valid and subsisting
existence of the Company or to dissolve the Company or for any other purpose
consistent with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

     The power of attorney granted hereby is coupled with an interest and shall
(a) survive and not be affected by the subsequent death, incapacity,
disability, dissolution, termination or bankruptcy of the Securityholder
granting the same or the transfer of all or any portion of such
Securityholder's Preferred Securities and (b) extend to such Securityholder's
successors, assigns and legal representatives.

     Section 19.07. Exculpation. (a) No Director or Officer shall have personal
liability to the Company or the Securityholders for monetary damages for breach
of, in the case of a Director, such Director's fiduciary duty (if any) or, in
the case of a Director or an Officer, for any act or omission performed or
omitted by such Director or Officer in good faith on behalf of the Company, and
in a manner such Director or Officer reasonably believed to be within the scope
of the authority conferred on such Director or Officer by this Agreement or by
law, except for such Director's or Officer's gross negligence or willful
misconduct.

     (b) Each Director and Officer shall be fully protected in relying in good
faith upon the records of the Company and upon such information, opinions,
reports or statements presented to the Company by any Person as to matters such
Director or Officer reasonably believes are within such other Person's
professional or expert competence and who has been selected with reasonable
care by or on behalf of the Company, including information, opinions, reports
or statements as to the value and amount of the assets, liabilities, profits,
losses, or any other facts pertinent to the existence and amount of assets from
which distributions to Securityholders might properly be paid.

     Section 19.08. Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, each Director and Officer shall be entitled to indemnification
from AANAH for any loss, damage, claim or expense (including reasonable
attorney's fees) incurred by such Director or Officer by reason of any act or
omission performed or omitted by such Director or Officer in good faith on
behalf of the Company and in a manner reasonably believed to be within the
scope of authority conferred on such Director or Officer by this Agreement,
except with respect to any act or omission determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction to have constituted gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such
Director or Officer.

                                       OF

                        ABN AMRO Capital Funding LLC VI

     These By-laws have been established as the By-laws of ABN AMRO Capital
Funding LLC VI, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Company"), pursuant
to the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement, dated as of
September 30, 2003 (as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, the
"Agreement"), pursuant to which the Company's existence has been continued,
and, together with the Agreement and the other annexes thereto, are deemed to
be the limited liability company agreement of the Company for purposes of the
Delaware Act. In the event of any inconsistency between the Agreement and these
By-laws, the provisions of the Agreement shall control.

     Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the
meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.

                                   ARTICLE 1
                                SECURITYHOLDERS

     Section 1.01. Annual Meetings. An annual meeting of Securityholders, if
any, shall be held at such date, time and place either within or without the
State of Delaware if and as may be decided and designated by the Board of
Directors from time to time. Any other proper business may be transacted at the
annual meeting.

     Section 1.02. Special Meetings. Special meetings of Securityholders may be
called at any time by the Chairman of the Board, if any, the President, the
Board of Directors or any of the Independent Directors, if any, to be held at
such date, time and place either within or without the State of Delaware as may
be stated in the notice of the meeting. A special meeting of Securityholders
shall be called by the Secretary upon the written request, stating the purpose
of the meeting, of Securityholders who together own of record a majority of the
Securities entitled to vote at such meeting.

<PAGE>

     Section 1.03. Notice of Meetings. Whenever Securityholders are required or
permitted to take any action at a meeting, a written notice of the meeting
shall be given which shall state the place, date and hour of the meeting, and,
in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting
is called. Unless otherwise provided by law, the written notice of any meeting
shall be given not less than ten nor more than sixty days before the date of
the meeting to each Securityholder entitled to vote at such meeting. If mailed,
such notice shall be deemed to be given when deposited in the United States
mail, postage prepaid, directed to the Securityholder at such Securityholder's
address as it appears on the records of the Company.

     Section 1.04. Adjournments. Any meeting of Securityholders, annual or
special, may be adjourned from time to time, to reconvene at the same or some
other place, and notice need not be given of any such adjourned meeting if the
time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is
taken. At the adjourned meeting the Company may transact any business which
might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for
more than thirty days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed
for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to
each Securityholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

     Section 1.05. Quorum. At each meeting of Securityholders, except where
otherwise provided by law or the Agreement or these By-laws, the holders of at
least 50% of the Securities entitled to vote on a matter at the meeting,
present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum. In the
absence of a quorum of the holders of Securities entitled to vote on a matter,
the holders of a majority of the Securities present or represented may adjourn
such meeting from time to time in the manner provided by Section 1.04 of these
By-laws until a quorum shall be so present or represented. Securities other
than Common Securities belonging on the record date for the meeting to the
Guarantor or an Affiliate of the Guarantor shall neither be entitled to vote
nor be counted for quorum purposes.

     Section 1.06. Organization. Meetings of Securityholders shall be presided
over by the Chairman of the Board, if any, or in the absence of the Chairman of
the Board by the President, or in the absence of the President by a Vice
President, or in the absence of the foregoing persons, by a chairman designated
by the Board of Directors, or in the absence of such designation, by a chairman
chosen at the meeting. The Secretary, or in the absence of the Secretary, an
Assistant Secretary, shall act as secretary of the meeting, but in the absence
of the Secretary and any Assistant Secretary, the chairman of the meeting may
appoint any person to act as secretary of the meeting.

                                       2

     Section 1.07. Voting; Proxies. Unless otherwise provided in the Agreement,
each Securityholder entitled to vote at any meeting of Securityholders shall
have voting power proportionate to the outstanding amount, based on initial
issue price, of the Securities held by such Securityholder that have voting
power upon the matter in question. Each Securityholder entitled to vote at a
meeting of Securityholders or to express consent or dissent to action in
writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for
such Securityholder by proxy, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon
after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period.
A duly executed proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable
and if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law
to support an irrevocable power, regardless of whether the interest with which
it is coupled is an interest in the Securities themselves or an interest in the
Company generally. A Securityholder may revoke any proxy which is not
irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting in person or by filing an
instrument in writing revoking the proxy or another duly executed proxy bearing
a later date with the Secretary of the Company. Voting at meetings of
Securityholders need not be by written ballot unless the holders of a majority
of the outstanding Securities entitled to vote thereon present in person or
represented by proxy at such meeting shall so determine. Directors shall be
designated, removed and replaced as provided in the Agreement and Article II
hereof. Other than in the case of any matter expressly set forth in the
Agreement for which a higher vote is required, the affirmative vote of the
holders of a majority of the Securities present in person or represented by
proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the
act of the Securityholders.

     Section 1.08. Fixing Date for Determination of Securityholders of Record.
In order that the Company may determine the Securityholders entitled to notice
of or to vote at any meeting of Securityholders or any adjournment thereof, the
Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede
the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the
Board of Directors, and which record date shall not be more than sixty nor less
than ten days before the date of such meeting. If no record date is fixed by
the Board of Directors, the record date for determining Securityholders
entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of Securityholders shall be at
the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is
given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next
preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of
Securityholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of
Securityholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided,
however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the
adjourned meeting.

     In order that the Company may determine the Securityholders entitled to
consent to action in writing without a meeting, the Board of Directors may fix
a

                                       3
<PAGE>

record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the
resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and
which date shall not be more than ten days after the date upon which the
resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors. If no
record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date for
determining Securityholders entitled to consent to action in writing without a
meeting, when no prior action by the Board of Directors is required by law,
shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the
action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the Company by delivery to
(a) its registered office in the State of Delaware, (b) its principal place of
business, or (c) an Officer or agent of the Company having custody of the book
in which proceedings of meetings of Securityholders are recorded. Delivery made
to the Company's registered office shall be by hand or by certified or
registered mail, return receipt requested. If no record date has been fixed by
the Board of Directors and prior action by the Board of Directors is required
by law, the record date for determining Securityholders entitled to consent to
action in writing without a meeting shall be at the close of business on the
day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution taking such prior
action.

     In order that the Company may determine the Securityholders entitled to
receive payment of any distribution or allotment of any rights or the
Securityholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any exchange of
Securities, or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of
Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date
upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record
date shall be not more than sixty days prior to such action. If no record date
is fixed, the record date for determining Securityholders for any such purpose
shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors
adopts the resolution relating thereto.

     Section 1.09. List of Securityholders Entitled to Vote. The Secretary
shall prepare and make, at least ten days before every meeting of
Securityholders, a complete list of the Securityholders entitled to vote at the
meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each
Securityholder and the amount of Securities registered in the name of each
Securityholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any
Securityholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary
business hours, for a period of at least ten days prior to the meeting, either
at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held, which place shall
be specified in the notice of the meeting, or, if not so specified, at the
place where the meeting is to be held. The list shall also be produced and kept
at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof and may be
inspected by any Securityholder who is present.

     Section 1.10. Consent of Securityholders in Lieu of Meeting. Unless
otherwise provided in the Agreement or by law, any action required by law to be
taken at any annual or special meeting of Securityholders of the Company, or
any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of such
Securityholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and
without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action
so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding Securities having not
less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or
take such action at a meeting at which all Securities entitled to vote thereon
were present and voted and shall be delivered to the Company by delivery to (a)
its registered office in the State of Delaware by hand or by certified mail or
registered mail, return receipt requested, (b) its principal place of business,
or (c) an Officer or agent of the Company having custody of the book in which
proceedings of meetings of Securityholders are recorded. Every written consent
shall bear the date of signature of each Securityholder who signs the consent
and no written consent shall be effective to take the action referred to
therein unless, within sixty days of the earliest dated consent delivered in
the manner required by this By-Law to the Company, written consents signed by
holders representing a sufficient amount of Securities to take action are
delivered to the Company by delivery to (a) its registered office in the State
of Delaware by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt
requested, (b) its principal place of business, or (c) an Officer or agent of
the Company having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of
Securityholders are recorded. Prompt notice of the taking of the action without
a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those
Securityholders who have not consented in writing.

                                   ARTICLE 2
                               BOARD OF DIRECTORS

     Section 2.01. Number; Powers; By-laws. The business and affairs of the
Company shall be managed by or under the direction of a Board composed
initially of four Directors and thereafter of not less than four nor more than
seven Directors. Except as provided in the Agreement, Directors shall be
designated, approved or elected by the Common Securityholder. The Board shall
manage the business and affairs of the Company and may exercise all powers in
connection therewith, and except for such powers as are required to be

By-laws and applicable law. Except for the Guarantee Independent Director with
respect to the enforcement of the Contingent Guarantee and the Contingent
Distribution and except to the extent that the Board or the Securityholders
confer such authority on a Director, no Director shall have the authority to

rules for the conduct of its business. In the absence of a provision by the
Board or a provision in the rules of such committee to the contrary, a majority
of the members of such committee shall constitute a quorum for the transaction
of business, the vote of a majority of the members present at a meeting at the
time of such vote if a quorum is then present shall be the act of such
committee, and in other respects each committee shall conduct its business in
the same manner as the Board conducts its business pursuant to Article II of
these By-laws.

the Secretary of the Company. Such resignation shall take effect at the time
specified therein, and unless otherwise specified therein no acceptance of such
resignation shall be necessary to make it effective. The Board may remove any
Officer with or without cause at any time. Any such removal shall be without
prejudice to the contractual rights of such Officer, if any, with the Company,
but the election of an Officer shall not of itself create contractual rights.
Any vacancy occurring in any office of the Company by death, resignation,
removal or otherwise may be filled by the Board at any regular or special
meeting.

     Section 4.03. Powers and Duties. The Officers of the Company shall have
such powers and duties in the management of the Company as shall be stated in
these By-laws or in a resolution of the Board of Directors which is not

pertain to comparable offices in a corporation organized under the General

                                   SECURITIES

     Section 5.01. Certificates for Securities. The Preferred Securities in the
Company shall be registered in certificated form, except that, if the Preferred
Securities are distributed to Holders of Trust Securities in book-entry form in
connection with the dissolution, winding up, termination or liquidation of the
Trust, the Company shall cause the Preferred Securities to be issued in one or
more global certificates and registered in the name of a nominee of DTC
pursuant to Article 16 of the Agreement. If such certificate is manually
countersigned by a transfer agent or by a registrar, any other signature on the
certificate may be a facsimile. In case any Officer who has signed or whose
facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate shall have ceased to be
such Officer before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Company
with the same effect as if such person were such Officer at the date of issue.

     Section 5.02. Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates; Issuance of New
Certificates. The Company may issue a new certificate representing Securities
in the place of any certificate theretofore issued by it, alleged to have been

stolen or destroyed certificate, or such owner's legal representative, to give
the Company a bond sufficient to indemnify it against any claim that may be
made against it on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of any
such certificate or the issuance of such new certificate or uncertificated
Securities.

     Section 6.01. Seal. The Company may have a company seal which shall have
the name of the Company inscribed thereon and shall be in such form as may be
approved from time to time by the Board of Directors. The company seal may be
used by causing it or a facsimile thereof to be impressed or affixed or in any
other manner reproduced.

     Section 6.02. Waiver of Notice of Meetings of Securityholders, Directors
and Committees. Whenever notice is required to be given by law or under any
provision of the Agreement or these By-laws, a written waiver thereof, signed
by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated
therein, shall

                                       9
<PAGE>

be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall
constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a
meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting,
to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called
or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any
regular or special meeting of the Securityholders, Directors or a committee of
Directors need be specified in any written waiver of notice unless so required
by the Agreement or these By-laws.

     Section 6.03. Indemnification of Directors, Officers and Employees. AANAH,
as the initial Common Securityholder, shall indemnify to the full extent
permitted under the Delaware Act any person made or threatened to be made a
party to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such person or such
person's testator or intestate is or was a Director, Officer or employee of the
Company or serves or served at the request of the Company any other enterprise
as a director, officer or employee except for such Director's or Officer's
gross negligence or willful misconduct. Expenses, including attorneys' fees,
incurred by any such person in defending any such action, suit or proceeding
shall be paid or reimbursed by AANAH promptly upon receipt by it of an
undertaking of such person to repay such expenses if it shall ultimately be
determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company.
The rights provided to any person by this By-Law shall be enforceable against
AANAH by such person who shall be presumed to have relied upon it in serving or
continuing to serve as a Director, Officer or employee as provided above. No
amendment of this By-Law shall impair the rights of any person arising at any
time with respect to events occurring prior to such amendment. For purposes of
this By-Law, the term "Company" shall include any predecessor of the Company
and any constituent company (including any constituent of a constituent)
absorbed by the Company in a consolidation or merger; the term "other
enterprise" shall include any limited liability company, corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or employee benefit plan. The rights
conferred on any Person by this Section 6.03 shall not be exclusive of any
other rights which such Person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute,
provision of these By-Laws, the Agreement, any other agreement, vote of
Securityholders or disinterested Directors or otherwise. AANAH's obligation, if
any, to indemnify any Person who was or is serving at its request as a
director, officer, employee or agent of any other enterprise shall be reduced
by any amount such Person may collect as indemnification from such other
enterprise. Any repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions of this
Section 6.03 shall not adversely affect any right of protection hereunder of
any Person in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of
such repeal or modification.

     Section 6.04. Form of Records. Any records maintained by the Company in
the regular course of its business, including its Securities ledger, books of

                                      10

account and minute books, may be kept on, or be in the form of, punch cards,
magnetic tape or disk, photographs, microphotographs or any other information
storage device, provided that the records so kept can be converted into clearly
legible form within a reasonable time. The Company shall so convert any records
so kept upon the request of any person entitled to inspect the same.

     Section 6.05. Amendment of By-laws. These By-laws may be amended or
repealed, and new by-laws adopted, by the Board of Directors in accordance with
the Agreement.

                         [FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY]

     Dividends payable on each Preferred Security will be fixed at a rate per
annum of 6.25% of the stated liquidation amount of $25.00 per Preferred
Security. Dividends on the Preferred Securities will only be made to the extent
that the Company has funds legally available for the payment of such dividends.
The amount of dividends payable for any period will be computed for any full
quarterly dividend period on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day
months.

     Except as otherwise described herein, dividends on the Preferred
Securities will be non-cumulative, will accrue from the date of initial
issuance and will be payable quarterly in arrears, on the last day of March ,
June , September and December of each year, commencing on December 31, 2003 if,
as and when declared by the Company. If the Trust Preferred Securities (or, if
the Trust is liquidated, the Preferred Securities) are in book-entry only form,
dividends will be payable to the Holders of record of Preferred Securities as
they appear on the books and records of the Company on the relevant record
dates, which will be one Business Day prior to the relevant payment dates. If
the Trust or the Property Trustee is the Holder of the Preferred Securities,
all distributions of cash shall be made by wire transfer of same day funds to
such Holder by 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the applicable Dividend
Payment Date. If the Trust Preferred Securities (or, if the Trust is
liquidated, the Preferred Securities) are not in book-entry only form, the
relevant record dates shall be the 15th day of the month of the relevant
payment dates (without regard to the next sentence). In the event that any date
on which dividends are payable is not a Business Day, payment of such dividend
shall be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day (without
accruing any interest or other payment to such next succeeding Business Day)
except that, if such Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar year,
such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day (without
any reduction in interest or other amounts in respect of any such early
payment).

     On or after September 30, 2008, the Preferred Securities shall be
redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, subject to prior
approval of the Guarantor and the Dutch Central Bank, if such approval is
required at the time of redemption, at a redemption price of $25.00 per
Preferred Security, plus Additional Amounts, if any, plus any accumulated and

     Any redemption of Preferred Securities, whether at the option of the
Company or upon the occurrence of a Special Redemption Event, shall not require
the vote or consent of any of the Preferred Securityholders and may be effected
only with the prior approval of the Guarantor and the Dutch Central Bank, if
required. Notice of any redemption of Preferred Securities will be given by the
Board of Directors on behalf of the Company by mail to each Preferred
Securityholder to be redeemed not fewer than 30 nor more than 60 days before
the date fixed for redemption.

     In the event that payment of the Redemption Price in respect of any
Preferred Securities is improperly withheld or refused and not paid either by
the Company or by the Guarantor pursuant to the LLC Guarantee, dividends on
such Preferred Securities shall continue to accumulate from the date fixed for
redemption to the date of actual payment of such Redemption Price.

                              TRUST INDENTURE ACT

         Section 2.01. Trust Indenture Act; Application. (a) This Guarantee is
subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act that are required to be
part of this Guarantee and shall, to the extent applicable, be governed by such
provisions. A term defined in the Trust Indenture Act has the same meaning when
used in this Guarantee, unless otherwise defined in this Guarantee or unless
the context otherwise requires.

         (b) If and to the extent that any provision of this Guarantee limits,
qualifies or conflicts with the duties imposed by Sections 310 to 317,
inclusive, of the Trust Indenture Act, such imposed duties shall control.

         Section 2.02. Lists of Holders of Securities. (a) The Guarantee
Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the
most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Holders of Trust
Securities. If the Guarantee Trustee is not the Registrar, the Guarantor shall
furnish to the Guarantee Trustee quarterly on or before the last day of March,
June, September, and December in each year, and at such other times as the
Guarantee Trustee may request in writing, a list, in such form and as of such
date as the Guarantee Trustee may reasonably require, containing all the
information in the possession or control of the Registrar, the Guarantor or any
of its paying agents other than the Guarantee Trustee as to the names and
addresses of Holders of Trust Securities.

         (b) The Guarantee Trustee shall comply with its obligations under
Sections 311(a), 311(b) and 312(b) of the Trust Indenture Act.

         Section 2.03. Reports by the Guarantee Trustee. Within 60 days after
May 15 of each year, the Guarantee Trustee shall provide to the Holders of the
Trust Securities such reports as are required by Section 313 of the Trust
Indenture Act, if any, in the form and in the manner provided by Section 313 of
the Trust Indenture Act. The Guarantee Trustee shall also comply with the
requirements of Section 313(d) of the Trust Indenture Act.

         Section 2.04. Periodic Reports to Guarantee Trustee. The Guarantor
shall provide to the Guarantee Trustee such documents, reports and information
as required by Section 314 (if any) and the compliance certificate required by
Section 314 of the Trust Indenture Act in the form, in the manner and at the
times required by Section 314 of the Trust Indenture Act. Delivery of such
reports, information and documents to the Guarantee Trustee is for
informational purposes only and the Guarantee Trustee's receipt of such shall
not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or
determinable from information contained therein, including the Guarantor's
compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Guarantee
Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers' Certificates).

         Section 2.05. Evidence of Compliance with Conditions Precedent. The
Guarantor shall provide to the Guarantee Trustee such evidence of compliance
with any conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Guarantee that
relate to any of the matters set forth in Section 314(c) of the Trust Indenture
Act. Any certificate or opinion required to be given by an officer pursuant to
Section 314 (c) (1) may be given in the form of an Officers' Certificate and
shall include:

         (a) a statement that each officer signing the Officers' Certificate
has read the covenant or condition and the definition relating thereto;

         (b) a brief statement of the nature and scope of the examination or
investigation undertaken by each officer in rendering the Officers'
Certificate;

         (c) a statement that each such officer has made such examination or
investigation as, in such officer's opinion, is necessary to enable such
officer to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or
condition has been complied with; and

         (d) a statement as to whether, in the opinion of each such officer,
such condition or covenant has been complied with.

         Section 2.06. Events of Default; Waiver. The Holders of a Majority in
liquidation amount of the Trust Securities may, by vote, on behalf of the
Holders of all of the Trust Securities, waive any past Event of Default and its
consequences except an Event of Default in respect of a covenant or provision
hereof which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of each Holder
of Trust Securities. Upon such waiver, any such Event of Default shall cease to
exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been

                                       8
<PAGE>

cured, for every purpose of this Guarantee, but no such waiver shall extend to
any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any right
consequent thereon.

         Section 2.07. Event of Default; Notice. (a) The Guarantee Trustee
shall, within 90 days after the occurrence of an Event of Default, transmit by
mail, first class postage prepaid, to the Holders of the Trust Securities,
notices of all Events of Default actually known to a Responsible Officer of the
Guarantee Trustee, unless such defaults have been cured before the giving of
such notice, provided, that, the Guarantee Trustee shall be protected in
withholding such notice if and so long as a Responsible Officer of the
Guarantee Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice
is in the interests of the Holders of the Trust Securities.

         (b) The Guarantee Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any
Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Guarantee Trustee shall
have received written notice, or a Responsible Officer of the Guarantee Trustee
charged with the administration of the Guarantee shall have obtained actual
knowledge, of such Event of Default.

         Section 2.08. Rights of Holders. (a) The Holders of a Majority in
liquidation amount of the Trust Securities shall have the right to direct the
time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to
the Guarantee Trustee in respect of this Guarantee or exercising any trust or
power conferred upon the Guarantee Trustee under this Guarantee.

         (b) If the Guarantee Trustee fails to enforce its rights under the
Guarantee after a Holder of Trust Securities has made a written request, such
Holder of Trust Securities may institute a legal proceeding directly against
the Guarantor to enforce the Guarantee Trustee's rights under Article 5 of this
Guarantee, without first instituting a legal proceeding against the Issuer, the
Guarantee Trustee or any other person or entity. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if the Guarantor has failed to make a Guarantee Payment, a Holder of Trust
Securities may directly institute a proceeding in such Holder's own name
against the Guarantor for enforcement of Article 5 of this Guarantee for such
payment.

         Section 2.09. Conflicting Interests. The Trust Agreement shall be
deemed to be specifically described in this Guarantee for the purposes of
clause (i) of the first proviso contained in Section 310(b) of the Trust
Indenture Act.

         Section 2.10. Guarantee Trustee May File Proofs Of Claims. Upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default, the Guarantee Trustee is hereby authorized
to (a) recover judgment, in its own name and as a trustee of an express trust,
against the Guarantor for the whole amount of any Guarantee Payments remaining
unpaid and (b) file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may
be necessary or advisable in order to have its claims and those of the Holders
of the

                                       9

Trust Preferred Securities allowed in any judicial proceeding relative to the
Guarantor, its creditors or its property.

                 POWERS, DUTIES AND RIGHTS OF GUARANTEE TRUSTEE

         Section 3.01. Powers, Duties and Rights of Guarantee Trustee. (a) This
Guarantee shall be held by the Guarantee Trustee for the benefit of the Holders
of the Trust Securities, and the Guarantee Trustee shall not transfer this
Guarantee to any Person except a Holder of Trust Securities exercising his or
her rights pursuant to Section 2.08(b) or to a Successor Guarantee Trustee on
acceptance by such Successor Guarantee Trustee of its appointment to act as
Successor Guarantee Trustee. The right, title and interest of the Guarantee
Trustee shall automatically vest in any Successor Guarantee Trustee, and such
vesting and cessation of title shall be effective whether or not conveyancing
documents have been executed and delivered pursuant to the appointment of such
Successor Guarantee Trustee.

         (b) If an Event of Default actually known to a Responsible Officer of
the Guarantee Trustee has occurred and is continuing, the Guarantee Trustee
shall enforce this Guarantee for the benefit of the Holders of the Trust
Securities.

         (c) The Guarantee Trustee, before the occurrence of any Event of
Default and after the curing or waiver of all Events of Default that may have
occurred, shall undertake to perform only such duties as are specifically set
forth in this Guarantee, and no implied covenants shall be read into this
Guarantee against the Guarantee Trustee. In case an Event of Default has
occurred (that has not been cured or waived pursuant to Section 2.06 and is
actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Guarantee Trustee), the
Guarantee Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by
this Guarantee, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise
thereof, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in
the conduct of his or her own affairs.

         (d) No provision of this Guarantee shall be construed to relieve the
Guarantee Trustee from liability for its own grossly negligent action, its own
grossly negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:

                  (i) Prior to the occurrence of any Event of Default and after
         the curing or waiving of all such Events of Default that may have
         occurred:

                           (A) the duties and obligations of the Guarantee
                  Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions
                  of this Guarantee, and the Guarantee Trustee shall not be
                  liable except for the performance of such duties and
                  obligations as are specifically set forth in this Guarantee,
                  and no implied covenants

                                      10
<PAGE>

                  or obligations shall be read into this Guarantee against the
                  Guarantee Trustee; and

                           (B) in the absence of bad faith on the part of the
                  Guarantee Trustee, the Guarantee Trustee may conclusively
                  rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness
                  of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or
                  opinions furnished to the Guarantee Trustee and conforming to
                  the requirements of this Guarantee; but in the case of any
                  such certificates or opinions that by any provision hereof
                  are specifically required to be furnished to the Guarantee
                  Trustee, the Guarantee Trustee shall be under a duty to
                  examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to
                  the requirements of this Guarantee (but need not confirm or
                  investigate the accuracy of any mathematical calculations or
                  other facts stated therein);

                  (ii) The Guarantee Trustee shall not be liable for any error
         of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer of the
         Guarantee Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Guarantee
         Trustee was grossly negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts upon
         which such judgment was made;

                  (iii) The Guarantee Trustee shall not be liable with respect
         to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in
         accordance with the direction of the Holders of a Majority in
         liquidation amount of the Trust Securities relating to the time,
         method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available
         to the Guarantee Trustee, or the exercise of any trust or power
         conferred upon the Guarantee Trustee under this Guarantee; and

                  (iv) No provision of this Guarantee shall require the
         Guarantee Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur
         personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties
         or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if the Guarantee
         Trustee shall have reasonable grounds for believing that the repayment
         of such funds or liability, or indemnity, satisfactory to the
         Guarantee Trustee, against such expense, risk or liability, is not
         assured to it under the terms of this Guarantee.

         Section 3.02. Certain Rights of Guarantee Trustee. (a) Subject to the
provisions of Section 3.01:

                  (i) The Guarantee Trustee may conclusively rely, and shall be
         fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon, any
         resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report,
         notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note,
         other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document (whether in
         its original or

                                      11
<PAGE>

         facsimile form) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed,
         sent or presented by the proper party or parties.

                  (ii) Any direction or act of the Guarantor contemplated by
         this Guarantee shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Officers'
         Certificate.

                  (iii) Whenever, in the administration of this Guarantee, the
         Guarantee Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or
         established before taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder,
         the Guarantee Trustee (unless other evidence is herein specifically
         prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, request and
         conclusively rely upon an Officers' Certificate which, upon receipt of
         such request, shall be promptly delivered by the Guarantor.

                  (iv) The Guarantee Trustee shall have no duty to see to any
         recording, filing or registration of any instrument (or any
         rerecording, refiling or registration thereof).

                  (v) The Guarantee Trustee may, at the expense of the
         Guarantor, consult with counsel of its selection, and the advice or
         opinion of such counsel with respect to legal matters shall be full
         and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action
         taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in
         accordance with such advice or opinion. Such counsel may be counsel to
         the Guarantor or any of its Affiliates and may include any of its
         employees. The Guarantee Trustee shall have the right at any time to
         seek instructions concerning the administration of this Guarantee from
         any court of competent jurisdiction.

                  (vi) The Guarantee Trustee shall be under no obligation to
         exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Guarantee at
         the request or direction of any Holder, unless such Holder shall have
         provided to the Guarantee Trustee such security and indemnity,
         satisfactory to the Guarantee Trustee, against the costs, expenses
         (including attorneys' fees and expenses and the expenses of the
         Guarantee Trustee's agents, nominees or custodians) and liabilities
         that might be incurred by it in complying with such request or
         direction, including such reasonable advances as may be requested by
         the Guarantee Trustee; provided, that nothing contained in this
         Section 3.02(a)(vi) shall be taken to relieve the Guarantee Trustee,
         upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, of its obligation to
         exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Guarantee.

                  (vii) The Guarantee Trustee shall not be bound to make any
         investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution,
         certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,
         direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of
         indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Guarantee Trustee, in
         its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into
         such facts or matters as it may see fit

                                      12
<PAGE>

         but shall incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by
         reason of such inquiry or investigation.

                  (viii) The Guarantee Trustee may execute any of the trusts or
         powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by
         or through agents, nominees, custodians or attorneys, and the
         Guarantee Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or
         negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due
         care by it hereunder.

                  (ix) Any action taken by the Guarantee Trustee or its agents
         hereunder shall bind the Holders of the Trust Securities, and the
         signature of the Guarantee Trustee or its agents alone shall be
         sufficient and effective to perform any such action. No third party
         shall be required to inquire as to the authority of the Guarantee
         Trustee to so act or as to its compliance with any of the terms and
         provisions of this Guarantee, both of which shall be conclusively
         evidenced by the Guarantee Trustee or its agent taking such action.

                  (x) Whenever in the administration of this Guarantee the
         Guarantee Trustee shall deem it desirable to receive instructions with
         respect to enforcing any remedy or right or taking any other action
         hereunder, the Guarantee Trustee (i) may request written instructions
         from the Holders of a Majority in liquidation amount of the Trust
         Securities, (ii) may refrain from enforcing such remedy or right or
         taking such other action until such written instructions are received
         and (iii) shall be protected in conclusively relying on or acting in
         accordance with such written instructions.

                  (xi) The Guarantee Trustee shall not be liable for any action
         taken, suffered, or omitted to be taken by it in good faith and
         reasonably believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or
         rights or powers conferred upon it by this Guarantee.

         (b) No provision of this Guarantee shall be deemed to impose any duty
or obligation on the Guarantee Trustee to perform any act or acts or exercise
any right, power, duty or obligation conferred or imposed on it in any
jurisdiction in which it shall be illegal, or in which the Guarantee Trustee
shall be unqualified or incompetent in accordance with applicable law, to
perform any such act or acts or to exercise any such right, power, duty or
obligation. No permissive power or authority available to the Guarantee Trustee
shall be construed to be a duty.

         Section 3.03. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Guarantee.
The recitals contained in this Guarantee shall be taken as the statements of
the Guarantor, and the Guarantee Trustee does not assume any responsibility for
their correctness. The Guarantee Trustee makes no representation as to the
validity or sufficiency of this Guarantee.

                               GUARANTEE TRUSTEE

         Section 4.01. Guarantee Trustee; Eligibility. (a) There shall at all
times be a Guarantee Trustee which shall:

                  (i) not be an Affiliate of the Guarantor; and

                  (ii) be a corporation organized and doing business under the
         laws of the United States of America or any State thereof or of the
         District of Columbia, or a corporation or Person permitted by the
         Securities and Exchange Commission to act as an institutional trustee
         under the Trust Indenture Act, authorized under such laws to exercise
         corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at
         least 50 million U.S. dollars ($50,000,000), and subject to
         supervision or examination by Federal, State or District of Columbia
         authority. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least
         annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the supervising or
         examining authority referred to above, then, for the purposes of this
         Section 4.01(a)(ii), the combined capital and surplus of such
         corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as
         set forth in its most recent report of condition so published.

         (b) If at any time the Guarantee Trustee shall cease to be eligible to
so act under Section 4.01(a), the Guarantee Trustee shall immediately resign in
the manner and with the effect set out in Section 4.02(c).

         (c) If the Guarantee Trustee has or shall acquire any "conflicting
interest" within the meaning of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act, the
Guarantee Trustee and Guarantor shall in all respects comply with the
provisions of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act.

         Section 4.02. Appointment, Removal and Resignation of Guarantee
Trustee. (a) Subject to Section 4.02(b), the Guarantee Trustee may be appointed
or removed without cause at any time by the Guarantor except during an Event of
Default.

         (b) The Guarantee Trustee shall not be removed in accordance with
Section 4.02(a) until a Successor Guarantee Trustee has been appointed and has
accepted such appointment by written instrument executed by such Successor
Guarantee Trustee and delivered to the Guarantor.

         (c) The Guarantee Trustee appointed to office shall hold office until
a Successor Guarantee Trustee shall have been appointed or until its removal or
resignation. The Guarantee Trustee may resign from office (without need for
prior or subsequent accounting) by an instrument in writing executed by the
Guarantee Trustee and delivered to the Guarantor, which resignation shall not
take effect until a Successor Guarantee Trustee has been appointed and has
accepted such

                                      14
<PAGE>

appointment by instrument in writing executed by such Successor Guarantee
Trustee and delivered to the Guarantor and the resigning Guarantee Trustee.

         (d) If no Successor Guarantee Trustee shall have been appointed and
accepted appointment as provided in this Section 4.02 within 60 days after
delivery of an instrument of removal or resignation, the Guarantee Trustee
resigning or being removed may petition, at the expense of the Guarantor, any
court of competent jurisdiction for appointment of a Successor Guarantee
Trustee. Such court may thereupon, after prescribing such notice, if any, as it
may deem proper, appoint a Successor Guarantee Trustee.

         (e) No Guarantee Trustee shall be liable for the acts or omissions to
act of any Successor Guarantee Trustee.

         (f) Upon termination of this Guarantee or removal or resignation of
the Guarantee Trustee pursuant to this Section 4.02, and before the appointment
of any Successor Guarantee Trustee, the Guarantor shall pay to the Guarantee
Trustee all amounts to which it is entitled to the date of such termination,
removal or resignation.

                                   ARTICLE 5
                                   GUARANTEE

         Section 5.01. Guarantee. The Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally
agrees, subject to the limitations set forth in this Guarantee, to pay in full
to each of the Initial Holders and each subsequent Holder from time to time,
whether such rights under this Guarantee are asserted by the Guarantee Trustee
or directly by any such Holder (without duplication of amounts theretofore paid
by the Issuer), if, as and when due, regardless of any defense, right of setoff
or counterclaim that the Issuer may have or assert:

                  (i) any accumulated but unpaid Distributions on the Trust
         Securities, whether declared by the Issuer or deemed declared pursuant
         to Section 5.02 hereof, plus Additional Amounts thereon, if any;

                  (ii) the $25.00 redemption price per each Trust Security
         called for redemption by the Issuer, plus an amount equal to any
         accumulated and unpaid Distributions thereon for the then current
         Distribution Period through the date of redemption, on the Trust
         Securities, plus Additional Amounts thereon, if any (the "Redemption
         Price"); and

                  (iii) the $25.00 liquidation amount per each Trust Security
         upon any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding
         up of the Issuer (other than in connection with the distribution of
         Company Preferred Securities to the Holders as provided in the Trust
         Agreement), plus Additional Amounts thereon, if any;

                                      15
<PAGE>

(collectively, the "Guarantee Payments"). All Guarantee Payments shall include
interest accrued on such Guarantee Payments, at a rate per annum equal to the
stated Distribution rate of the Trust Securities, since the date of the claim
asserted under this Guarantee relating to such Guarantee Payments.

         The Guarantor's obligation to make any of the payments listed in (i)
through (iii) above may be satisfied either by direct payment of the required
amounts by the Guarantor to the Holders or by causing the Issuer to pay such
amounts to the Holders.

         Section 5.02. Delivery of Guarantor Certificate; Distributions Deemed
Declared. (a) As of each Distribution Date with respect to which the Issuer has
not paid Distributions in full at the Distribution Rate, the Guarantor shall
deliver an Officers' Certificate to the Guarantee Trustee substantially in the
form attached as Exhibit A hereto (the "Guarantor Certificate"); provided that
failure to deliver the Guarantor Certificate on or prior to any Distribution
Date with respect to which the Issuer has not paid Distributions in full at the
Distribution Rate, shall not constitute an Event of Default but shall result in

Distributions in full at the Distribution Rate and (ii) (A) the Guarantor or
one of its subsidiaries declares or makes a dividend or other payment on its
Ordinary Shares that pay dividends annually or (B) the Guarantor or any of its

the satisfaction by the Guarantor or any of its subsidiaries of its obligations
under any employee benefit plans or similar arrangements with or for the

a reclassification of the capital stock of the Guarantor or any of its
subsidiaries or the exchange or conversion of one class or series of such

for any consideration (or moneys have been paid to or made available for a

Parity Securities during the twelve month period immediately preceding and
including such Distribution Date, then Distributions will be deemed declared in
full at the Distribution Rate on such Distribution Date for the purposes of

         (c) If on any Distribution Date (i) the Issuer has not paid
Distributions in full at the Distribution Rate and (ii) the Guarantor or any of
its subsidiaries has declared or made a dividend or other payment in respect of

that pay dividends semi-annually during the six month period immediately
preceding and including such Distribution Date, then Distributions will be
deemed declared in full at the Distribution Rate on such Distribution Date for

of the Guarantor Certificate delivered as of such Distribution Date, then
Distributions will be deemed declared in full at the Distribution Rate or pro
rata in accordance with Section 5.02(i) hereof, as the case may be, on such
Distribution Date for the purposes of Section 5.01(i) hereof and for the three
consecutive Distribution Dates thereafter.

         (f) If on any Distribution Date (i) the Issuer has not paid
Distributions in full at the Distribution Rate and (ii) the Guarantor or any of

Rate or pro rata in accordance with

                                      17
<PAGE>

Section 5.02(i) hereof, as the case may be, on such Distribution Date for the
purposes of Section 5.01(i) hereof.

         (h) The amount of Distributions declared or deemed declared for
purposes of Section 5.01(i) hereof on all the Trust Securities then outstanding
with respect to any Distribution Date shall be equal to the greater of (i) the
amount of Distributions declared on such Distribution Date by the Trust or (ii)
the amount of Distributions deemed declared on such Distribution Date pursuant
to subsection (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) or (g) hereof.

         (i) In the event that Distributions are deemed declared on any
Distribution Date pursuant to this Section 5.02 pro rata with dividends and
other payments on the Parity Securities, such Distributions shall be deemed
declared in proportion that the aggregate amount available for payment of
dividends on the Trust Securities and the Parity Securities in the fiscal year
in which such Distribution Date falls bears to the aggregate full amount of
stated dividends on the Trust Securities and the Parity Securities payable in
such fiscal year. If Distributions are deemed declared on a pro rata basis, the
Guarantor will select, in its sole discretion, the date of the applicable
market exchange rate to make the calculations described above.

         Section 5.03. Waiver of Notice and Demand. The Guarantor hereby waives
notice of acceptance of this Guarantee and of any liability to which it applies
or may apply, presentment, demand for payment, any right to require a
proceeding first against the Issuer or any other Person before proceeding
against the Guarantor, protest, notice of nonpayment, notice of dishonor,
notice of redemption and all other notices and demands. This Guarantee creates
a guarantee of payment and not of collection.

         Section 5.04. Obligations Not Affected. The obligations, covenants,
agreements and duties of the Guarantor under this Guarantee shall in no way be
affected or impaired by reason of the happening from time to time of any of the
following:

                  (a) the release or waiver, by operation of law or otherwise,
         of the performance or observance by the Issuer of any express or
         implied agreement, covenant, term or condition relating to the Trust
         Securities to be performed or observed by the Issuer;

                  (b) the extension of time for the payment by the Issuer of
         all or any portion of the Distributions, Redemption Price, liquidation
         preference or any other sums payable under the terms of the Trust
         Securities or the extension of time for the performance of any other
         obligation under, arising out of, or in connection with, the Trust
         Securities; provided, however, that nothing in this Guarantee shall
         affect or impair a valid extension;

                                      18
<PAGE>

                  (c) any failure, omission, delay or lack of diligence on the
         part of the Holders to enforce, assert or exercise any right,
         privilege, power or remedy conferred on the Holders pursuant to the
         terms of the Trust Securities, or any action on the part of the Issuer
         granting indulgence or extension of any kind;

                  (d) the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution,
         sale of any collateral, receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy,
         assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization, arrangement,
         composition or readjustment of debt of, or other similar proceedings
         affecting, the Issuer or any of the assets of the Issuer;

                  (e) any invalidity of, or defect or deficiency in, the Trust
         Securities;

                  (f) the settlement or compromise of any obligation guaranteed
         hereby or hereby incurred; or

                  (g) any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise
         constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor,
         it being the intent of this Section 5.04 that the obligations of the
         Guarantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and
         all circumstances.

         There shall be no obligation of the Holders to give notice to, or
obtain consent of, the Guarantor with respect to the happening of any of the
foregoing.

         No setoff, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any obligation, or
any defense of any kind or nature that the Guarantor has or may have against
any Holder shall be available hereunder to the Guarantor against such Holder to
reduce the payments to it under this Guarantee; provided that nothing herein
shall prevent the assertion of any such claim by separate suit or compulsory
counterclaim.

         Section 5.05. Action Against Guarantor. The Guarantor waives any right
or remedy to require that any action be brought first against the Issuer or any
other person or entity before proceeding directly against the Guarantor.

         Section 5.06. Independent Obligations. The Guarantor acknowledges that
its obligations hereunder are independent of the obligations of the Issuer with
respect to the Trust Securities, and that the Guarantor shall be liable as
principal and as debtor hereunder to make Guarantee Payments pursuant to the
terms of this Guarantee notwithstanding the occurrence of any event referred to
in subsections (a) through (g), inclusive, of Section 5.04 hereof.

         Section 5.07. Taxes. All payments in respect of the Guarantee Payments
(including interest accrued thereon, if any) by the Guarantor shall be made

                                      19
<PAGE>

without withholding or deduction for or on account of any Relevant Tax, unless
the withholding or deduction of such Relevant Tax is required by law. In that
event, the Guarantor shall pay, as further Guarantee Payments, such additional
amounts as may be necessary in order that the net amounts received by a Holder
(or a third party on its behalf) after such withholding or deduction will equal
the amount which would have been received in respect of the Guarantee Payments
(including interest accrued thereon, if any) in the absence of such withholding
or deduction ("Guarantee Additional Amounts"), except that no such Guarantee
Additional Amounts shall be payable to a Holder (or a third party on its
behalf) with respect to any Guarantee Payments (including interest accrued
thereon, if any) (i) to the extent that such Relevant Tax is imposed or levied
by virtue of such Holder (or the beneficial owner of Trust Securities to which
such Guarantee Payments relate) having some connection with the Relevant
Jurisdiction, other than being a Holder (or beneficial owner of Trust
Securities), (ii) to the extent that such the Relevant Tax is imposed or levied
by virtue of such Holder (or beneficial owner) not having made a declaration of
non-residence in, or other lack of connection with, the Relevant Jurisdiction
or any similar claim for exemption, if the Guarantor or its agent has provided
the beneficial owner of such Trust Securities or its nominee with at least 60
days' prior written notice of any opportunity to make such a declaration or
claim, or (iii) where such withholding or deduction is imposed on a payment to
an individual and is required to be made pursuant to any European Union
Directive on the taxation of savings implementing the conclusions of the ECOFIN
Council meeting of June 3, 2003 or any law implementing or complying with, or
introduced in order to conform to, or substantially similar to such Directive.

         Section 5.08. Article 6:251 of DCC. This Guarantee is a guarantee for
the benefit of each Holder from time to time of Trust Securities with respect
to each Trust Security held by such Holder. Upon transfer of any Trust
Securities to a third party, the previous Holder thereof shall no longer have
any rights hereunder with respect to such Trust Securities. The rights under
this Guarantee with respect to a Trust Security are not separately transferable
from such Trust Security. The Initial Holders, by their execution of this
Guarantee, hereby accept the rights under this Guarantee as initial purchasers
of the respective number of Trust Securities set forth next to their names in
Exhibit B attached hereto with the understanding that such rights shall be
transferred by operation of law to any subsequent Holder acquiring a Trust
Security from an Initial Holder or from a subsequent Holder. It is specifically
intended by the parties hereto that the rights under this Guarantee with
respect to a Trust Security shall be transferred by operation of law under
Article 6:251 of the Dutch Civil Code ("DCC") to a subsequent Holder of that
Trust Security.

         Section 5.09. Article 6:253 of DCC. It is hereby irrevocably agreed
and stipulated, for free ("om niet" in the sense of the article referred to),
by way of third party stipulation ("derdenbeding") in the meaning of Article
6:253 of DCC, for the benefit of each Holder (whether present or future) of a
Trust Security that,

                                      20
<PAGE>

to the extent that any such Holder should not become entitled to the rights
under this Guarantee with respect to that Trust Security (whether by operation
of Article 6:251 of DCC as referred to in Section 5.08 hereof or otherwise),
such Holder shall become a beneficiary of the rights under (and accordingly a
party to) this Guarantee as set forth in Article 6:253 of DCC upon having
become a Holder of such Trust Security (unless such Holder has rejected such
stipulation without delay upon having become aware of it).

                                   ARTICLE 6
                      LIMITATION OF TRANSACTIONS; RANKING

         Section 6.01. Limitation of Transactions. (a) The Guarantor, for so
long as any Trust Securities remain outstanding, shall not issue any preferred
securities, preferred or preference shares or any securities that qualify as
Tier 1 capital for the Guarantor ranking senior on liquidation to its
obligations under this Guarantee or give any guarantee in respect of any
preferred securities, preferred or preference shares or any securities that
qualify as Tier 1 capital for the Guarantor issued by any of its subsidiaries
if such guarantee would rank senior to this Guarantee, unless this Guarantee is
amended to give the Holders of the Trust Securities such rights and
entitlements as are contained in or attached to such other guarantee so that
this Guarantee ranks pari passu with such guarantee and pari passu with such
preferred securities, preferred or preference shares or any securities that
qualify as Tier 1 capital for the Guarantor.

         (b) The Guarantor shall pay all amounts required to be paid pursuant
to this Guarantee in respect of any Distributions on the Trust Securities
payable in respect of the most recent Distribution Period prior to any dividend
or other payment (except dividends in the form of the Ordinary Shares) upon the
Ordinary Shares (whether issued directly or by a subsidiary of the Guarantor
and entitled to the benefits of a guarantee ranking junior to this Guarantee).

         (c) The Guarantor, for so long as any Trust Securities or Company
Preferred Securities remain outstanding, shall maintain, or shall cause the
Bank, AANAH or any one or more Qualified Subsidiaries or branches of the Bank
(each, a "Potential Securityholder") to maintain, 100% ownership of the Company
Common Securities and the Trust Common Securities. The Guarantor may transfer
and permit the transfer of the Company Common Securities from one Potential
Securityholder to another Potential Securityholder, provided that prior to such
transfer it has received an opinion of a nationally recognized law firm
experienced in such matters to the effect that (A) the Company will continue to
be treated as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes and
such transfer will not cause the Company to be classified as an association or
publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for United States federal
income tax purposes, (B) such transfer will not cause the Company or the Trust
to

                                      21
<PAGE>

be required to register under the 1940 Act and (C) such transfer will not
adversely affect the limited liability of the Holders of the Company Preferred
Securities.

         (d) The Guarantor for so long as any Trust Securities or Company
Preferred Securities remain outstanding, (i) shall cause the Trust to remain a
statutory trust and not to voluntarily dissolve, wind up, liquidate or be
terminated, except as permitted by the Trust Agreement, (ii) shall use its
commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Trust will not be classified
as other than a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes,
and (iii) shall cause the Company to remain a limited liability company, and
(iv) shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Company
will not be an association or a publicly traded partnership taxable as a
corporation for United States federal income tax purposes.

         (e) The Guarantor, for so long as any of the Trust Securities are
outstanding, shall not permit, or take any action to cause, the dissolution,
liquidation, termination or winding up of the Trust, unless a Trust Special
Redemption Event occurs or the Guarantor is itself in liquidation and the
approval of the Dutch Central Bank, if then required, to such action has been
received.

         (f) If the Company Preferred Securities are distributed to Holders of
Trust Preferred Securities in connection with the involuntary or voluntary
dissolution, winding-up or liquidation of the Trust, the Guarantor shall use
its commercially reasonable best efforts to cause the Company Preferred
Securities to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange, Euronext or on such
other national securities exchange or similar organization as the Trust
Preferred Securities are then listed or quoted on.

         Section 6.02. Ranking. This Guarantee will constitute an unsecured
obligation of the Guarantor and will rank (i) subordinate and junior in right
of payment to indebtedness of the Guarantor (other than any guarantee or
contractual right expressed to rank pari passu with or junior to this
Guarantee), (ii) pari passu with the Guarantor's obligations under the Parity
Guarantees, including, without limitation, (A) the Trust Securities Guarantee
Agreement dated as of August 17, 1998, among the Guarantor, the Initial Holders

ABN AMRO Capital Funding LLC I and The Bank of New York, as guarantee trustee,
(D) the Trust Securities Guarantee Agreement dated as of April 1, 1999, among

Securities of

                                      22

Contingent Guarantee Agreement dated as of July 3, 2003 among the Guarantor,

trustee, and (iii) senior to the Ordinary Shares. Any guarantee given hereafter
by the Guarantor with respect to preferred securities issued by a subsidiary of
the Guarantor and treated as Tier 1 regulatory capital by the Guarantor that is
silent as to seniority will rank pari passu with this Guarantee.

                                   ARTICLE 7
                                  TERMINATION

         Section 7.01. Termination. This Guarantee shall terminate upon, and be
of no further force and effect from the earlier of (i) full payment of the
Redemption Price of all Trust Securities or purchase and cancellation of all
Trust Securities, (ii) upon the distribution of the Company Preferred
Securities to the Holders of all of the Trust Securities or (iii) upon full
payment of the $25.00 liquidation amount, plus any accumulated and unpaid
Distributions thereon, plus Additional Amounts thereon, if any, as payable upon
liquidation of the Issuer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Guarantee will
continue to be effective or will be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any

                                INDEMNIFICATION

         Section 8.01. Exculpation. (a) No Indemnified Person shall be liable,
responsible or accountable in damages or otherwise to the Guarantor or any
Covered Person for any loss, expense, liability, damage or claim incurred by
reason of any act performed or omitted by such Indemnified Person in good faith
in accordance with this Guarantee and in a manner that such Indemnified Person
reasonably believed to be within the scope of the authority conferred on such
Indemnified Person by this Guarantee or by law, except that an Indemnified
Person shall be liable for any such loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of
such Indemnified Person's gross negligence or willful misconduct with respect
to such acts or omissions.

         (b) An Indemnified Person shall be fully protected in conclusively
relying in good faith upon the records of the Guarantor and upon such
information, opinions, reports or statements presented to the Guarantor by any
Person as to matters the Indemnified Person reasonably believes are within such
other Person's professional or expert competence and who has been selected with
reasonable care by or on behalf of the Guarantor, including information,

         Section 9.01. Successors and Assigns. All guarantees and agreements
contained in this Guarantee shall bind the successors, assigns, receivers,

                                      24
<PAGE>

Guarantee may be modified by the Guarantor and the Guarantee Trustee only with
the prior approval of the Holders of not less than 66-2/3% in liquidation
amount of the Trust Securities (excluding any Trust Securities held by the
Guarantor or any of its Affiliates, other than Trust Securities purchased or
acquired by the Guarantor or its Affiliates in connection with transactions
effected by or for the account of customers of the Guarantor or any of its
Affiliates in connection with the distribution or trading of or market-making
in connection with such securities and except that persons (other than
Affiliates of the Guarantor) to whom the Guarantor or any of its Affiliates
have pledged Trust Securities may vote or convert with respect to such pledged
securities pursuant to the terms of such pledge). This Guarantee may be amended
without the consent of the Holders of the Trust Securities to (i) cure any
ambiguity, (ii) correct or supplement any provision in this Guarantee that may
be defective or inconsistent with any other provision of this Guarantee, (iii)
add to the covenants, restrictions or obligations of the Guarantor, (iv)
conform to any change in the 1940 Act, the Trust Indenture Act or the rules or
regulations of either such Act and (v) modify, eliminate and add to any
provision of this Guarantee to such extent as may be necessary or desirable;
provided that no such amendment shall have a material adverse effect on the
rights, preferences or privileges of the Holders of the Trust Securities.
Sections 5.01, 5.02, 5.07 and the form of Exhibit A hereto may not be amended
without the prior approval of the Holders of 100% in liquidation amount of the
Trust Securities. The provisions of Section 13.02 of the Trust Agreement with
respect to meetings of Holders of the Trust Securities apply to the giving of
such approval. Any amendment hereof in accordance with this Section 9.02 shall
be binding on all the Holders.

         Section 9.03. Judgment Currency Indemnity. (a) If, for the purposes of
obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert an amount due from
the Guarantor under any provision of this Guarantee to a currency other than
U.S. Dollars, the parties agree, to the fullest extent that they may
effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in
accordance with normal banking procedures the Guarantee Trustee could purchase
such other currency with U.S. Dollars at its New York office on the second
Business Day preceding the day on which final judgment is given.

         (b) The obligations of the Guarantor in respect of any amount due to
the Guarantee Trustee or any Holders under this Agreement shall,
notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than U.S. Dollars, be
discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the
Guarantee Trustee or such Holders, as the case may be, of any amount adjudged
to be so due in such other currency the Guarantee Trustee or such Holders, as
the case may be, may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase U.S.
Dollars with such other currency.

         (c) If the amount of U.S. Dollars so purchased is less than the amount
originally due to the Guarantee Trustee or such Holders, as the case may be, in
U.S. Dollars, the Guarantor agrees, to the fullest extent that it may
effectively do

                                      25
<PAGE>

so, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to
indemnify the Guarantee Trustee or such Holders, as the case may be, against
such loss.

         (d) If the amount of Dollars so purchased exceeds the amount
originally due to the Guarantee Trustee or such Holders, as the case may be, in
U.S. Dollars, agree to remit any remaining amount to the Guarantor.

         Section 9.04. Assignment of the Guarantor. The Guarantor will not
assign its obligations under the Guarantee, except in the case of a merger,
consolidation or a sale of substantially all of its assets, where the Guarantor
is not the surviving entity.
