December 1993 (as amended) (the "Programme"). The sum of the aggregate principal amount of Notes
outstanding at any time under the Programme will not exceed Euro 100,000,000,000 (or its equivalent in
other currencies). The Programme amount may be increased from time to time subject to the preparation of
a supplemental prospectus which shall be subject to the prior approval of the Netherlands Authority for the

The Notes will be issued on a continuing basis to one or more of the Dealers specified below and any
additional Dealer appointed for the duration of the Programme or, with regard to an issue of a particular
Tranche of Notes, for the purposes of that tranche (each a "Dealer" and together the "Dealers"). The Dealer

be the same as the ratings assigned to the Programme or the Issuer. A security rating is not a
recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to suspension, reduction or withdrawal
at any time by the assigning rating agency. The rating of a certain Series or Tranche of Notes may be
specified in the applicable Final Terms. Whether or not each credit rating applied for in relation to a relevant

("Definitive Bearer Notes") from the 40th day after
the date on which the Temporary Bearer Global Note
is issued upon certain conditions including, in the
case of a Temporary Bearer Global Note where the
issue is subject to the TEFRA D Rules, upon
certification of non-U.S. beneficial ownership as
required by U.S. Treasury regulations. The applicable
Final Terms will specify that a Permanent Bearer
Global Note is exchangeable for Definitive Bearer
Notes either (i) upon not less than 30 days' notice or
