This thirtieth day of August, two thousand and six, there appeared before me, Rudolf van Bork, civil law notary officiating in Amsterdam, the Netherlands:

The adoption of such resolutions is evidenced by a copy of the shareholder’s resolution attached to this deed (Annex I).

Furthermore, the person appearing declared that the Articles of Association of the Company were most recently partially amended by a deed executed before a substitute of R. van Bork, civil law notary officiating in Amsterdam, on the third day of February, two thousand and six (February 3, 2006), with respect to which a ministerial Statement of No Objections was granted on the first day of February, two thousand and six (February 1, 2006), under number B.V. 1339851. The Articles of Association of the Company have not been amended since then.

In implementing the aforementioned resolution, the Articles of Association of the Company are hereby partially amended as follows.

A resolution of the Board of Managing Directors with respect to a matter involving a conflict of interest with one or more members of the Board of Managing Directors in a private capacity shall be subject to the approval of the general meeting, but the absence of such approval shall not affect the authority of the members of the Board of Managing Directors or its members to represent the Company.”

Amendment C.

Article 16 is amended and shall read as follows:

“1

If a seat is vacant on the Board of Managing Directors (ontstentenis) or a managing director is unable to perform his duties (belet), the remaining managing directors or managing director shall be temporarily entrusted with the management of the Company, provided that at least one managing director A and one management director B are not absent or prevented from performing their duties.
