CERTAIN RISK CONSIDERATIONS: The RBS ETNs involve risks not associated with an
investment in conventional debt securities, including a possible loss of some or
all of your investment. The level of the Index must increase by an amount
sufficient to offset the aggregate investor fee applicable to the RBS ETNs in
order for you to receive at least the principal amount of your investment back
at maturity or upon early repurchase or redemption. The Index may underperform
the Benchmark Index, and is expected to perform poorly in volatile markets.
Liquidity of the market for RBS ETNs may vary over time. The RBS ETNs do not pay
interest. Any payment on the RBS ETNs is subject to ability of The Royal Bank of
Scotland N.V. (RBS NV), as the issuer, and RBS Holdings N.V., as the guarantor,
to pay their respective obligations when they become due. You should carefully
consider whether the RBS ETNs are suited to your particular circumstances before

accounting, tax and other advisors with respect to any investment in the RBS
ETNs.
