3.	DESIGNATED SECURITIES POOL

3.1

Composition

(a)

The Securities are the securities that are listed or referred to in Error! Reference source not found. (Description of Securities); provided that a security shall cease to be a “Security” if and when a Divestment has been made with respect to that Security.

(b)

As soon as reasonably possible but no later than three (3) Business Days following any Divestment, ING Bank will prepare (or cause the preparation of) a new Error! Reference source not found. (Description of Securities) from which the relevant Divested Securities will have been removed.

3.2

Operating Committee

The State, ING Bank, and ING Groep will establish and maintain for the duration of this Agreement an operating committee (the Operating Committee) to discuss recent developments, market outlook, data and pricing in respect of the Securities. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the discussions of the Operating Committee will be for information purposes only. The State shall be responsible for making its own decisions.

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

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

3.3

Divestments

(a)

If a Security is trading at or above its par value plus accrued interest, the State has the right to instruct ING Bank in writing to sell, on a commercial best efforts basis, such Security at or above its par value plus accrued interest or at such price level as indicated by the State but not lower than the par value plus accrued interest.

(b)

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

(c)

ING Bank, as Owner, will not sell or cause the sale of any Securities without the prior written consent of the State.

(d)

For purposes of this Clause 3.3 the “par value” of a Security means the principal amount, par value or stated or nominal amount of such Security as of its date of issuance, reduced by the amount of any distributions of principal since such date.

(e)

If any US federal or US State regulatory requirement (whether by way of statute or regulation or by way of an order, instruction, direction or request of any US federal or US State supervisory or other governmental authority) would prohibit, restrict, subject to consent requirements or delay or otherwise adversely affect any sale of Securities, ING Bank shall procure (bij wijze van resultaatsverbintenis) that any such prohibition, restriction,

ING Bank, FSB Illiquid Assets Back-Up Facility Agreement

0050797-0000064 AMBA:2804530.15

consent requirement, delay or other effect is fully complied with or removed prior to the date of such intended sale, so that each divestment as contemplated by this Clause 3.3 can be realised on the date contemplated by the State without being in any respect affected by such prohibition, restriction, consent requirement, delay or other effect. For the avoidance of doubt, any failure to so procure the removal of such prohibition, restriction, consent requirement, delay or other effect shall constitute an Event of Default regardless whether or not such failure is caused by or attributable to ING Bank or ING Groep.
