The articles of association of Royal Philips Electronics provide that, unless the law requires otherwise, the members of the board of management and of the supervisory board shall be reimbursed by Royal Philips Electronics for various costs and expenses, including the reasonable costs of defending claims and of appearing in legal proceedings and any damages which they are ordered to pay in respect of an act or failure to act in the exercise of functions performed at the request of the Royal Philips Electronics. Under certain circumstances, described
in the articles of association, such as if it has been established in a final judgment by a Dutch court or by an arbitrator that an act or failure to act by a member of the board of management or the supervisory board can be characterized as intentional (‘opzettelijk’), intentionally reckless (‘bewust roekeloos’) or seriously culpable (‘ernstig verwijtbaar’) or if the costs and expenses are reimbursed by insurers under an insurance policy, there will be no entitlement to this reimbursement.
Members of the board of management, the supervisory board and certain officers of Royal Philips Electronics 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 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;
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (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.
