<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Article&nbsp;151 of the articles of association of Royal Dutch Shell provides that, as far as the
legislation allows this, we: (i)&nbsp;can indemnify any director of the company against any liability;
and (ii)&nbsp;can purchase and maintain insurance against any liability for any director of the company.
As our articles of association do not prohibit the indemnification of officers of the company
against liability, we may purchase and maintain insurance against any liability for any of our
officers.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We have entered into a deed of indemnity with each of the Royal Dutch Shell directors. The
terms of each of these deeds is identical and reflects the new statutory provisions on indemnities
introduced by the Companies (Audit, Investigations and Community Enterprise) Act 2004. Under the
terms of each deed, Royal Dutch Shell undertakes to indemnify the relevant Royal Dutch Shell
director, to the widest extent permitted by law, against any and all liability, howsoever caused
(including by that director&#146;s own negligence), suffered or incurred by that director in the course
of that director acting as a director or employee of Royal Dutch Shell, any member of the Royal
Dutch Shell Group of Companies or certain other entities. It is a term of each indemnity that Royal
Dutch Shell and the relevant director agree to be bound by the provisions in the Royal Dutch Shell
articles of association relating to arbitration and exclusive jurisdiction.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The relevant provisions of the Companies Act are sections 309A&#150;C, 337A and 727.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sections&nbsp;309A &#150; C state that any provision to exempt to any extent a director from liability
for negligence, default, breach of duty or trust by him in relation to the company is void. Any
provision by which a company directly or indirectly provides (to any extent) an indemnity for a
director of the company or an associated company against any such liability is also void unless it
is a qualifying third party indemnity provision. We are still permitted to purchase insurance

ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.
Not applicable.
ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.
Not applicable.
ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Article 151 of the articles of association of Royal Dutch Shell provides that, as far as the
legislation allows this, we: (i) can indemnify any director of the company against any liability;
and (ii) can purchase and maintain insurance against any liability for any director of the company.
As our articles of association do not prohibit the indemnification of officers of the company
against liability, we may purchase and maintain insurance against any liability for any of our
officers.
We have entered into a deed of indemnity with each of the Royal Dutch Shell directors. The
terms of each of these deeds is identical and reflects the new statutory provisions on indemnities
introduced by the Companies (Audit, Investigations and Community Enterprise) Act 2004. Under the
terms of each deed, Royal Dutch Shell undertakes to indemnify the relevant Royal Dutch Shell
director, to the widest extent permitted by law, against any and all liability, howsoever caused
(including by that director's own negligence), suffered or incurred by that director in the course
of that director acting as a director or employee of Royal Dutch Shell, any member of the Royal
Dutch Shell Group of Companies or certain other entities. It is a term of each indemnity that Royal
Dutch Shell and the relevant director agree to be bound by the provisions in the Royal Dutch Shell
articles of association relating to arbitration and exclusive jurisdiction.
The relevant provisions of the Companies Act are sections 309A–C, 337A and 727.
Sections 309A – C state that any provision to exempt to any extent a director from liability
for negligence, default, breach of duty or trust by him in relation to the company is void. Any
provision by which a company directly or indirectly provides (to any extent) an indemnity for a
director of the company or an associated company against any such liability is also void unless it
is a qualifying third party indemnity provision. We are still permitted to purchase insurance
against any such liability for a director of the company or an associated company.
An indemnity is a qualifying third party indemnity as long as it does not provide: (i) any
indemnity against any liability incurred by the director to the company or to any associated
company; (ii) any indemnity against any liability incurred by the director to pay a fine imposed in
criminal proceedings or a sum payable to a regulatory authority by way of a penalty in respect of
non-compliance with any requirement of a regulatory nature; and (iii) any indemnity against any
liability incurred by the director in defending criminal proceedings in which he is convicted,
civil proceedings brought by the company or an associated company in which judgment is given
against him or where the court refuses to grant him relief under an application under sections
144(3) and (4) (acquisition of shares by innocent nominee) or its
4
power under section 727 (described below). Any qualifying third party indemnity in force for
the benefit of one or more directors of the company must be disclosed in the directors' annual
report.
Section 337A provides that a company can provide a director with funds to meet
expenditures incurred or to be incurred by him in defending any criminal or civil
proceedings or in connection with any application under sections 144(3) and (4) (acquisition
of shares by innocent nominee) or section 727 (described below). Such financial assistance
must be repaid if the director is convicted, judgment is found against him or the court
refuses to grant the relief on the application.
Section 727 provides that:
"(1)
If in any proceedings for negligence, default, breach of duty or breach
of trust against an officer of a company or a person employed by a company as
auditor (whether he is or is not an officer of the company) it appears to the court
hearing the case that that officer or person is or may be liable in respect of the
negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust, but that he has acted
honestly and reasonably, and that having regard to all the circumstances of the
case (including those connected with his appointment) he ought fairly to be excused
for the negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust, that court may
relieve him, either wholly or partly, from his liability on such terms at it thinks
fit.
(2)
If any such officer or person as above-mentioned has reason to
apprehend that any claim will or might be made against him in respect of any
negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust, he may apply to the court
for relief; and the court on the application has the same power to relieve him as
under this section it would have had if it had been a court before which
proceedings against that person for negligence, default, breach of duty or breach
of trust had been brought.
(3)
Where a case to which subsection (1) applies is being tried by a judge
with a jury, the judge, after hearing the evidence, may, if he is satisfied that
the defendant or defender ought in pursuance of that subsection to be relieved
either in whole or in part from the liability sought to be enforced against him,
withdraw the case in whole or in part from the jury and forthwith direct judgment
to be entered for the defendant or defender on such terms as to costs or otherwise
as the judge may think proper.''
The following provisions would only apply in circumstances where the arbitration provisions of our
articles of association would be invalid or inapplicable. While English law permits a shareholder
to initiate a lawsuit on behalf of the company only in limited circumstances, the Companies Act
permits a shareholder whose name is on the register of shareholders of the company to apply for a
court order:
(i)
when the company's affairs are being or have been
conducted in a manner unfairly prejudicial to the interests of all or some
shareholders, including the shareholder making the claim; or
(ii)
when any act or omission of the company is or would be
so prejudicial.
A court has wide discretion in granting relief, and may authorize civil proceedings to be brought
in the name of the company by a shareholder on terms that the court directs. Except in these
limited circumstances, English law does not generally permit class action lawsuits by shareholders
on behalf of the company or on behalf of other shareholders.

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 of 1933;
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
arising after the effective date of the 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 the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase
or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any
deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range
may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission
pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act of 1933 if, in the
aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20%
change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the
"Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective Registration
Statement.
(iii)
To include any material information with respect to
the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration
Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration
Statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the
Registration Statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8, and the information required
to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in
periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant
pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act of 1934 that are
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, 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 of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual
report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report
pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) 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.
7
(c)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
1933 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 Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 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 of 1933 and will be governed
by the final adjudication of such issue.
