&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<FONT size=2 face="serif">(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant&#146;s annual report pursuant to Section
13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan&#146;s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to
be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial </FONT><I><FONT size=2 face="serif">bona fide</FONT></I><FONT size=2 face="serif">
offering thereof. </FONT></P>
<P>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<FONT size=2 face="serif">(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted
by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. </FONT></P>

    the "Registrant"), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
    (the
"Commission") for the year ended December 31, 2004, pursuant to Section
12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act");
(b) All reports filed by ABN AMRO pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act since December 31, 2004, the date of the most recent financial statements of ABN AMRO; and
(c) The description of ABN AMRO's ordinary shares, nominal value €0.56 each, contained in Item 9 and Item 10 of the Company's Form 20-F registration statement referred to in (a).
In addition, all documents subsequently filed by ABN AMRO, and all documents subsequently filed under the ABN AMRO Executive Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"), pursuant to Sections
13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement which indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold,
shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in the registration statement and to be a part hereof from the date of the filing of such documents.
Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to
the extent that a statement contained herein, (or in any other subsequently filed document which also is incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein), modifies or supersedes such statement. Any such statement so modified or
superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.
Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Articles of Association of Registrant contain no provisions under which any member of the Supervisory Board or the Managing Board or any officer is indemnified in any manner against any
liability which he or she may incur in the capacity as such. However, the Articles of Association of Registrant provide that the annual accounts shall be adopted at the shareholders meeting and that the shareholders meeting shall make all decisions
regarding the discharge of the members of Registrant's Managing Board and Supervisory Board in respect of their management and supervision respectively. Under Dutch law, this discharge is not absolute and would not be effective as to any
matters not disclosed to Registrant's shareholders. Furthermore, this discharge may not set aside general rules regarding liability of the members of the Managing Board with regard to the proper fulfillment of their task.
3
Certain officers and members of the Supervisory Board and the Managing Board of Registrant are, to a limited extent, insured under an insurance policy against damages resulting from their
conduct when acting in their capacities as such.

Item 9. Undertakings.
(a)
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i)
      To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the Plan not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration
                Statement;
provided
,
however
, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be
    included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
4
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
      offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section
13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to
be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted
by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
