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 (the “Act”);
 
(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) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
 
(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 if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (ii) above is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement, paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (ii) shall not apply;
 
(2)           That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the 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; and
 
(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 Act, 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.
 
(c)           Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the 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 Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Periods During the Calendar Year
 
The Committee will establish procedures for making changes in the level of payroll deductions.
 
 
Share Certificates
 
As soon as reasonably practicable following each Exercise Date, Common Shares purchased under this Plan shall be credited to an account in the Participant's name with the Plan's outside administrator designated by the Committee.

APPENDIX B – Plan Specifications for Philips Canada Employees

In addition to the “Plan Specifications” in Appendix A, the following definitions and specifications apply to participants employed by Philips Canada. All defined terms used herein shall have the respective meanings set forth below under “Definitions”, and all defined terms used herein and not defined below shall retain the meaning assigned to them in Appendix A.
 
Participation

Full-Time Employees (except as specifically indicated below), of Philips Electronics Ltd. and Canadian Affiliates (“Philips Canada”) who are based in Canada are eligible to participate in the Plan beginning on the first day of the first month immediately following a period of 90 days during which time such employee was at all times considered a Full-Time Employee (the “90 Day Requirement”), which determination shall be made in the sole discretion of the Committee. For purposes of determining whether a Full-Time Employee has satisfied the 90 Day Requirement, the Committee shall take into account all service terms of such Full-Time Employees, which were rendered prior to the date on which Philips Electronics Ltd. adopted the Plan (the “Adoption Date”); provided, however, that this sentence shall only apply to individuals who are Full-Time Employees as of the Adoption Date.

Philips Canada employees covered under a collective agreement will only be eligible to participate in this Plan at such time as their participation has been negotiated by Philips Canada and their bargaining unit.

Excluded Employees are not eligible to participate in the Plan.

For purposes of application of the Plan to Participants employed by Philips Canada, the following definitions found in Appendix A of the Plan or herein shall be read as follows:

 
Definitions

“Canadian Affiliate”: Present or future affiliated corporations of the Company carrying on business in and from Canada, registered and resident in Canada and in which the Company owns directly or indirectly at least 50% of the affiliated corporation.

“Disability”:  A Participant will be considered to have a disability if such Participant is considered to have a “disability” under the applicable plan in which it participates or under which the Participant is covered for purposes of receiving disability coverage or benefits, whether such plan is provided by Philips Canada or any Canadian governmental agency or body.

“Earnings”: Earnings include salary, bonus payment (the bonus payments must be made pursuant to a formalized, written individual bonus plan) and commission. Earnings does not include any
 
B-1

other forms of compensation such as, overtime, group bonus plans, profit sharing or improvement plans, vacation pay, expense reimbursements, severance payments, payments in lieu of notice, stock options, deferred compensation, distributions from any long term incentive plan, perquisites, long term disability payments, payments from an accident or sickness program, whether paid by Philips Canada or by any applicable government or regulatory organization such as workers compensation, monetary or non monetary performance or seniority awards, etc.

“Eligibility”: Each Eligible Employee may become a Participant on the first day of the first month immediately following a period of 90 days during which time such employee was at all times considered a Full-Time Employee, which determination shall be made in the sole discretion of the Committee, except that an Eligible Employee covered under a collective agreement will only be eligible for participation in this Plan at such time as their participation has been negotiated by Philips Canada and their bargaining unit.

“Eligible Employee”: Each Canadian based Full-Time Employee, whether paid on an hourly or salaried basis.

“Full-Time Employee”: An employee of Philips Canada who is regularly scheduled to work at least 35 hours per week, who is not a temporary or contract employee, nor a unionized employee.
 
“Philips Canada”: Philips Electronics Ltd. and its Canadian Affiliates.
 
General Provisions
 
Tax Withholding

On the date of purchase of shares, a Participant would owe ordinary income tax on the difference between the closing market price per share and what the Participant actually pays for each share in the program.  Taxes are withheld from the Participant’s next available paycheque after the purchase date.  Both the benefit per share and the tax withheld are reflected on that cheque and included in the year-end T-4 and Releve 1 (Quebec taxpayers only) statement.
 
Currency

As the Company’s stock trades in U.S. dollars, payroll deductions will be converted to U.S. dollars at the prevailing rate at the time of purchase of the shares. In addition to changes in stock price, there is also a currency risk.  Because the Company's shares trade in U.S. dollars, the value of the shares will fluctuate in relation to the Canadian dollar.
 
Certain Canadian Federal and Provincial Income Tax Consequences
 
The following tax discussion is for general guidance and may change over time. Participants are advised to consult their tax advisor for more detailed information.
 
B-2
 

Purchasing Shares

When shares are purchased, the 15% discount is taxable as ordinary income and is subject to federal and provincial income taxes as well as CPP/QPP.  Taxes will be automatically withheld from the Participants’ next available paycheque following the stock purchase in accordance with their regular tax withholding elections.  If a Participant is not actively receiving a paycheque he/she will receive a net zero paycheque to reflect the taxes.  The ordinary income amount will be included in the T-4 and Releve 1 (Quebec taxpayers only) statement for the year.
 
Reinvested Dividends

Participants will be subject to Canadian income tax on reinvested dividends in the year the dividends are issued.  Non-resident tax of 15% will be withheld on reinvested dividends in the year the dividends are issued. Participants will be issued the appropriate tax form on or around February 28 of the following year covering the dividend and the non-resident tax deducted.  The deducted non-resident tax can normally be used as a credit against Canadian taxes owing in respect of the reinvested dividends.  The tax credit may be claimed when filing the personal income tax return in April of the following year.
 
Selling Shares

When Participants sell their shares, Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) requires Participants to report these activities on their annual tax return. Any further gain/loss after the purchase of these shares will be taxed as a capital gain or loss.

A capital gain occurs when a Participant sells stock for a higher price than the adjusted cost base of the stock.

A capital loss occurs when a Participant sells stock for a lower price than the adjusted cost base of the stock.

In general, the adjusted cost base of a particular share will be the weighted average purchase price for all the Philips Canada shares owned by a Participant, both within the Participant’s account and outside of it (except for shares held in any trusteed accounts like RRSPs).  For example, if the Participant purchased 10 shares for $30.00 in one Participation Period and then purchased 5 shares at $40.00 in the next Participation Period, the adjusted cost base for each share following the second Participation Period would be $33.33 (i.e. [(10 x $30.00) + (5 x $40.00)] ÷ 15.
 
Canadian Securities Laws

Participation in the Plan is voluntary and is subject to the conditions set forth herein and in Appendix A.  Shares acquired under the Plan by employees of Philips Canada may only be sold through the facilities of the New York Stock Exchange.

Company without the Option Holder being entitled to any compensation or any obligation on the part of Philips or any Employing Company unless Philips determines, in its sole discretion, otherwise in writing. Any such determination shall be final, conclusive and binding and may be subject to such conditions as Philips may determine appropriate.

In case an Option Holder is no longer employed by any Employing Company during the applicable Option Period as a result of the termination of such Option Holder’s employment with an Employing Company for reasons of (i) disablement, (ii) retirement  or (iii) the expiration of a temporary contract of employment, provided such temporary contract of employment has not been extended one or more times, any Options held by such Option Holder at the date of termination shall remain exercisable in accordance with Article 3, provided that in such case the Option Period will expire upon the earlier of (a) ten (10) years from the Date of Grant or (b) five (5) years from the date of such termination.

Article 5
Non-transferability

Any violation of the terms of this Article 5 will cause the Options to become immediately null and void without further notice and without the Option Holder being entitled to any compensation.


Article 6
Exercise of Options

1.
In order to exercise Options, which are exercisable in accordance with this Program, the Option Holder must notify Philips in accordance with a procedure determined by Philips.
 
The notice shall state:
a.  
the Date of Grant of the Options he wishes to exercise;
b.  
if applicable, the confirmation that the Option Holder wants to limit the Option Period pursuant to Article 3.2;
c.  
the number of Options to be exercised; and
d.  
whether Shares to be obtained upon such exercise:
 
(i)
be sold, on behalf of the Option Holder as soon as possible. Upon such sale, the aggregate revenue of the Shares sold upon exercise of the Options less the Grant Price multiplied by the number of such Options, and further costs, will be paid to the Option Holder in accordance with a procedure determined by Philips; or
 
(ii)
be delivered to the Option Holder as provided for in the Articles 6.3 and 6.4.
 
In case the Option Holder elects to have the Shares to be delivered to him, his notice shall be accompanied by the payment in full of the Grant Price, multiplied by the number of Options so being exercised. Such payment shall be made: (a) in cash, (b) through simultaneous sale through a broker of Shares acquired on exercise, subject to it being permitted under the applicable regulations, (c) through additional methods prescribed by Philips or (d) by a combination of any such method.

2.
Philips may require an Option Holder to maintain a Custody Account in connection with this Program. Nothing contained in this Program shall obligate Philips to establish or maintain or cause to establish or maintain a Custody Account for any Option Holder.

3.
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Program, if the Option Holder elects the Share to be delivered to him upon exercise as provided in Article 6.1.d (ii), Philips will deliver a Share to an Option Holder on or as soon as reasonably practicable after the exercise of an Option. In no event shall Philips have any obligation to deliver any Shares to an Option Holder prior to the exercise of any Options.

4.
If the Option Holder elects to have Shares to be delivered to him pursuant to Article 6.1.d (ii), such Shares will be credited to the Option Holder’s Custody Account except if an Option Holder does not maintain a Custody Account at the date of delivery of such Shares. In case the foregoing sentence applies, the Option Holder shall be responsible to notify Philips in accordance with a procedure (including the period for notification) established by Philips on the details relating to such Custody Account. In case Philips determines in its sole discretion that the Option Holder has failed to notify Philips in accordance with such procedure, then the Option Holder shall be deemed to have requested Philips to sell or cause to sell such Shares.

5.
Each Option Holder shall comply with any applicable “insider trading” laws and regulations and the Philips’ Rules of Conduct with respect to Inside Information.


Article 7
Capital Dilution

Philips may make equitable adjustment or substitution of (a) the number or kind of Shares subject to the Options, and/or (b) the Grant Price, as it, in its sole discretion, deems equitable to reflect any significant corporate event of or by Philips, for example a change in the outstanding Shares by reason of any stock dividend or split, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, combination or exchange of shares or other corporate change, or any distribution to holders of Shares other than regular cash dividends.
The effect of the adjustment or substitution shall be to preserve both the aggregate difference and the aggregate ratio between the Grant Price and the fair market value of the Shares to be acquired upon exercise of the Options. The Option Holder shall be notified promptly of such adjustment or substitution.

Article 8
Costs and Taxes

1.
All costs of delivering any Shares under this Program to an Option Holder’s Custody Account and any other costs connected with the Shares shall be borne by the Option Holder.

2.
Any and all taxes, duties, levies, charges or social security contributions (“Taxes”) which arise under any applicable national, state, local or supra-national laws, rules or regulations, whether already effective on the Date of Grant or becoming effective thereafter, and any changes or modifications therein and termination thereof which may result for the Option Holder in connection with this Program (including, but not limited to, the grant, the ownership and/or the exercise of the Options, and/or the delivery, ownership and/or the sale of any Shares acquired under this Program) shall be for the sole risk and account of the Option Holder.

3.
Philips and its subsidiaries shall have the right to deduct or cause to be deducted from any salary payment or other sums due by Philips or any of its subsidiaries to an Option Holder, or requiring the Option Holder or beneficiary of the Option Holder, to pay to Philips an amount necessary to settle any Taxes determined by Philips necessary to be withheld in connection with this Program (including, but not limited to, the grant of the Options or the delivery of any Shares under this Program).

4.
Philips shall not be required to deliver any Shares and Philips may delay (or cause to be delayed) the transfer of any Shares to a Custody Account, until Philips has received an amount, or the Option Holder has made such arrangements, required by Philips necessary to satisfy any withholding of any Taxes and any costs to be borne by the Option Holder in connection with this Program as determined by Philips.


Article 9
Cash Alternative

Upon receipt of a notice, as referred to in Article 6.1 hereof to exercise any Option, Philips may advise an Option Holder resident outside the Netherlands to request in writing an amount in cash as an alternative to Shares. Upon such request the Option Holder is entitled to receive an amount in Euros or in U.S. Dollars, depending on where the Shares being the subject of the exercised Option are traded, equal to the Share Price minus the Grant Price, multiplied by the number of Options so being exercised. Further, any costs to be paid and any applicable Taxes shall be deducted from the amount to be received by the Option Holder. If on the date of receipt of the notice Shares have not been traded on Euronext Amsterdam or the New York Stock Exchange, whichever is applicable, the Share Price will be the opening price of the first subsequent trading day on Euronext Amsterdam or the New York Stock Exchange, whichever is applicable. The same method is being used for calculating the cash amount to which heirs and legatees of an Option Holder are entitled in accordance with Article 4.3.

Article 10
General Provisions

1.
Philips shall have the authority to interpret this Program, to establish, amend, and rescind any rules and regulations relating to this Program, to determine the terms and conditions of any agreements entered into hereunder, and to make all other determinations necessary or advisable, except to the extent any such action would require shareholder approval under applicable law, rules or regulation. The terms and conditions in force from time to time are published on the Philips’ intranet and on the website of the administrator of this Program and apply to any and all Option granted under this Program. Philips may delegate the authority to practice administrative and operational functions with respect to the Program to officers or employees of subsidiaries of Philips and to service providers.

2.
If equity-based incentive compensation under this Program has been granted on the basis of incorrect financial or other data, Philips and the Employing Company may in its sole discretion but acting in good faith, resolve to recoup some or all of such incentive compensation -including any benefits derived therefrom- in all appropriate cases (taking into account all relevant factors, including whether the assertion of a recoupment claim may in its opinion prejudice the interests of Philips and its group companies in any related proceeding or investigation), granted to an individual under this Program, if and to the extent that:
 
a.
the size of the equity-based incentive grant was calculated based upon the achievement of certain financial or other data that were subsequently reduced or changed due to a correction thereof resulting from errors, omissions, fraud or otherwise, and
 
b.
the size of such grant that would have awarded to you, had the financial or other data been properly reported would have been lower than the amount actually awarded.
 
By accepting any grants under this Program, the individual concerned agrees to fully co-operate with Philips and the Employing Company in order to give effect to this article.

3.
No Option Holder shall have any rights or privileges of shareholders (including the right to receive dividends and to vote) with respect to Shares to be delivered pursuant to the exercise of any Options until such Shares are actually delivered to such Option Holder in accordance with Article 6 of this Program.

4.
The (value of) Options granted to, or Shares acquired by, an Option Holder pursuant to such Options under this Program shall not be considered as compensation in determining an Option Holder’s benefits under any benefit plan of an Employing Company, including but not limited to, group life insurance, long-term disability, family survivors, or any retirement, pension or savings plan.

5.
Nothing contained in this Program or in any grant made or agreement entered into pursuant hereto shall confer upon any Option Holder any right to be retained employed with any Employing Company, or to be entitled to any remuneration or

Article 2
Grant of Restricted Share Rights

Any Restricted Share Rights may be granted to an eligible individual, subject to the (acceptance by such individual of the) terms and conditions of this Program and any other Philips’ policies or guidelines that may apply to such individual. Any Restricted Share Rights offered to any such individual and the terms and conditions governing such rights shall be deemed accepted by such individual with effect from the applicable Date of Grant in case Philips has not received, in accordance with a procedure established by Philips, a notice of rejection of such rights within fourteen (14) days of the notice of grant of such rights or such later date as may be determined by Philips.


Article 3
Termination of Employment

1.
Except as otherwise provided in Article 3.2 and 3.3 hereof, in case a Participant is no longer employed by any Employing Company as a result of the termination of such Participant’s employment with an Employing Company for any reason whatsoever prior to the applicable Delivery Date, such Participant’s Restricted Share Rights shall be forfeited effective as of the date of termination of such Participant's employment with the Employing Company without the Participant being entitled to any compensation or any obligation on the part of Philips or any Employing Company unless Philips determines, in its sole discretion, otherwise in writing. Any such determination shall be final, conclusive and binding and may be subject to such conditions as Philips may determine appropriate.

2.
In case a Participant is no longer employed by any Employing Company as a result of the termination of such Participant’s employment with an Employing Company for reasons of (i) death, (ii) disablement, (iii) legal incapacity, (iv) retirement or (v)

the expiration of a temporary contract of employment, provided such temporary contract of employment has not been extended one or more times, such Participant or, in case of death or legal incapacity of the Participant, the estate of the Participant or his or her legal representative(s), as the case may be, shall remain entitled to any Restricted Share Rights granted to such Participant prior to the date of such termination subject to the terms and conditions of this Program. For the purpose of this Program, a Participant’s employment shall be deemed terminated as a result of “retirement” if such Participant’s employment is terminated and such Participant satisfies at the date of such termination the eligibility requirements to receive an immediate (early) retirement benefit under an (early) retirement plan of an Employing Company under which such Participant was covered, provided (i) payment of such (early) retirement benefit commences immediately following such termination, and provided further (ii) that if such Participant is covered by an US retirement plan, such Participant must have at least five years of service with an US Employing Company and have attained the age of fifty-five (55) years.

3.
In case the employment of a Participant with any Employing Company is terminated as a result of the sale or other divestment of a business, subsidiary, division or other business unit of Philips or any part thereof (“Divested Business”) and the Participant remains employed by the Divested Business upon such transfer, such Participant shall remain entitled to any Restricted Share Rights granted to such Participant prior to the date of the termination of such employment subject to the terms and conditions of this Program.

 
In case of termination of employment of a Participant with any Employing Company as a result of such sale or other divestment, the Participant shall no longer be eligible to receive any Premium Shares.

 
Upon termination of the employment of the Participant with the Divested Business, the terms of Article 3.1 and 3.2 shall apply mutatis mutandis, it being expressly understood that in case such Participant becomes re-employed by any Employing Company immediately upon such termination, such Participant shall remain entitled to any Restricted Share Rights held by such Participant at such time subject to the terms and conditions of this Program.


Article 4
Non-transferability

The Restricted Share Rights are strictly personal and may not be assigned, transferred (except that, in case of death of the Participant any Restricted Share Rights granted to such Participant at the date of his death shall pass to his heirs or legatees), pledged, hypothecated, or otherwise encumbered or disposed of in any manner. The Participant may not engage in any transactions on any exchange on the basis of any Restricted Shares Rights. Any violation of the terms of this Article 4 will cause the Restricted Share Rights to become immediately null and void without further notice and without the Participant being entitled to any compensation.

Article 5
Delivery and Holding of Shares

1.
Philips may require a Participant to maintain a Nominee Account in connection with this Program. Nothing contained in this Program shall obligate Philips to establish or maintain or cause to establish or maintain a Nominee Account for any Participant.

2.
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Program, and further to the Participants election via the website, Philips will deliver a Share pursuant to a Restricted Share Right to a Participant on or as soon as reasonably practicable after the relevant Delivery Date. In no event shall Philips have any obligation to deliver any Shares to a Participant prior to the relevant Delivery Date.

3.
Any Shares to be delivered pursuant to Article 5.2 will be credited to the Nominee Account.

4.
Except as may be otherwise approved in writing by Philips in its sole discretion, in case a Participant is no longer employed by any Employing Company for any reason whatsoever, the Participant (or his or her estate or legal representatives, as the case may be) shall withdraw all Shares credited to the Participant’s Nominee Account within two (2) months of the date of such termination. In case the Participant (or his or her estate or legal representatives, as the case may be) fails to comply with the foregoing obligation, then the Participant (or his or her estate or legal representatives, as the case may be) shall be deemed to have requested Philips to sell or cause to sell such Shares.

5.
Each Participant shall comply with any applicable “insider trading” laws and regulations and the Philips’ Rules of Conduct with respect to Inside Information.


Article 6
Capital Dilution

Philips may make equitable adjustment or substitution of the number or kind of Shares subject to the Restricted Shares Rights, as it, in its sole discretion, deems equitable to reflect any significant corporate event of or by Philips, for example a change in the outstanding Shares by reason of any stock dividend or split, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, combination or exchange of shares or other corporate change, or any distribution to holders of Shares other than regular cash dividends.

Article 7
Premium Shares

At a Premium Date, Philips will deliver a number of Premium Shares, which is equal to 20 % (twenty percent) of the number of Shares acquired by a Participant pursuant to the Restricted Share Rights, which are held by the Participant at, and are subject to, such Premium Date. The foregoing obligation shall be subject further to the requirements that: (i) the Participant is still employed by an Employing Company at the relevant Premium Date and (ii) such Shares have been deposited on the Participant’s Nominee Account during the entire Retainment Period in order to enable Philips to monitor whether Participant has retained the Shares during such period. Philips will not be required pursuant to the foregoing to deliver a fraction for a Premium Share but instead the number of Premium Shares shall be rounded upward to the next whole Share.


Article 8
Costs and Taxes

1.
All costs of delivering any Shares, including, but not limited to, any Premium Shares, under this Program to a Participant’s Custody Account and any other costs connected with the Shares shall be borne by the Participant.

2.
Any and all taxes, duties, levies, charges or social security contributions (“Taxes”) which arise under any applicable national, state, local or supra-national laws, rules or regulations, whether already effective on the Date of Grant of any Restricted Shares Rights or becoming effective thereafter, and any changes or modifications therein and termination thereof which may result for the Participant in connection with this Program (including, but not limited to, the grant of the Restricted Shares Rights, the ownership of the Restricted Shares Rights and/or the delivery of any Shares under this Program, the ownership and/or the sale of any Shares acquired under this Program) shall be for the sole risk and account of the Participant.

3.
Philips and any other Employing Company shall have the right to deduct or withhold (or cause to be deducted or withheld) from any salary payment or other sums due by Philips or any other Employing Company to Participant, or requiring the Participant or beneficiary of the Participant, to pay to Philips an amount necessary to settle any Taxes and any costs determined by Philips necessary to be withheld in connection with this Program (including, but not limited to, the grant of the Restricted Shares Rights or the delivery of any Shares (including, but not limited to, Premium Shares) under this Program).

4.
Philips shall not be required to deliver any Shares and Philips may delay (or cause to be delayed) the transfer of any Shares from a Nominee Account to a Custody Account until Philips has received an amount, or the Participant has made such arrangements required by Philips necessary to satisfy any withholding of any Taxes and any costs to be borne by the Participant in connection with this Program as determined by Philips.

5.
Philips is herewith authorised by the Participant to sell (part of) Participant’s Shares credited to a Nominee Account and to maintain such part of the proceeds of this sale as payment to Philips necessary to satisfy any withholding of any Taxes and any costs to be borne by the Participant in connection with this Program as determined by Philips.


Article 9
Dividend Payment on Shares

Philips is entitled, in its sole discretion, to determine the manner in which dividend on any Shares acquired by a Participant pursuant to this Program and deposited on the Nominee Account at the applicable record date, is paid to such Participant including, but not limited to, the payment of dividend by means of a dividend reinvestment plan pursuant to which the dividend will be reinvested in the purchase of Shares.


Article 10
General Provisions

1.
Philips shall have the authority to interpret this Program, to establish, amend, and rescind any rules and regulations relating to this Program, to determine the terms and conditions of any agreements entered into hereunder, and to make all other determinations necessary or advisable, except to the extent any such action would require shareholder approval under applicable law, rules or regulation. The terms and conditions in force from time to time are published on the Philips’ intranet and on the website of the administrator of this Program and apply to any and all Restricted Share Rights granted under this Program. Philips shall further have the authority to waive, in its sole discretion, the requirement pursuant to Article 7 that the Shares have been and are deposited on the Nominee Account during the entire Retainment Period. Such waiver may be subject to such conditions as Philips may establish in its sole discretion. Philips may delegate the authority to practice administrative and operational functions with respect to the Program to officers or employees of subsidiaries of Philips and to service providers.

2.
If equity-based incentive compensation under this Program has been granted on the basis of incorrect financial or other data, Philips and the Employing Company may in its sole discretion but acting in good faith, resolve to recoup some or all of such incentive compensation -including any benefits derived therefrom- in all appropriate cases (taking into account all relevant factors, including whether the assertion of a recoupment claim may in its opinion prejudice the interests of Philips and its group companies in any related proceeding or investigation), granted to an individual under this Program, if and to the extent that:
 
i.
the size of the equity-based incentive grant was calculated based upon the achievement of certain financial or other data that were subsequently reduced or changed due to a correction thereof resulting from errors, omissions, fraud or otherwise, and

ii.
the size of such grant that would have awarded to you, had the financial or other data been properly reported would have been lower than the amount actually awarded.
 
By accepting any grants under this Program, the individual concerned agrees to fully co-operate with Philips and the Employing Company in order to give effect to this article.

 
Furthermore by accepting any grants under this Program, the individual provides an irrevocable power of attorney to Philips and the Employing Company to transfer any Shares held by such individual in the account administered by Philips’ global Program administrator and any other acts necessary or desirable to give effect to this article. This power of attorney is governed by Dutch law exclusively.

3.
No Participant shall have any rights or privileges of shareholders (including the right to receive dividends and to vote) with respect to Shares to be delivered pursuant to Restricted Share Rights until such Shares are actually delivered to such Participant in accordance with Article 5 of this Program. The Shares delivered shall carry the same rights as common shares of Philips traded on Euronext Amsterdam, or the New York Stock Exchange, as applicable, on the day on which these Shares are delivered.

4.
The (value of) Restricted Share Rights granted to, or Shares acquired by, a Participant pursuant to such Restricted Share Right under this Program shall not be considered as compensation in determining a Participant’s benefits under any benefit plan of an Employing Company, including but not limited to, group life insurance, long-term disability, family survivors, or any retirement, pension or savings plan.

5.
Nothing contained in this Program or in any grant made or Agreement entered into pursuant hereto shall confer upon any Participant any right to be retained in employment with any Employing Company, or to be entitled to any remuneration or benefits not set forth in this Program or interfere with or limit in any way with the right of any Employing Company to terminate such Participant’s employment or to discharge or retire a Participant at any time.

6.
If a provision of this Program is deemed illegal or invalid, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of this Program, this Program shall be construed as if the illegal or invalid provisions had not been included in this Program.

7.
Where the context requires, words in either gender shall include also the other gender.

8.
This Program shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of The Netherlands, without regard to its principles of conflict of laws.
