The payment

(ii) if the
Fund Return is less than 0% down to and including -10%, $1,000;
and
(iii) if the
Fund Return is less than -10%, $1,000 plus (Fund Return + 10%) ×
$1,000.
If the Fund
Return is less than -10% you could lose up to 90% of your initial
principal investment. In addition, if the Fund Return is 0% or positive,
you will never receive a payment at maturity greater than the Maximum
Redemption at Maturity of $1,280 per $1,000 principal amount of

Any payment
at maturity is subject to the creditworthiness of The Royal Bank of
Scotland N.V. and RBS Holdings N.V., as guarantor.

(a)
|
The fund
return for each $1,000 principal amount of Securities will be equal
to:
|
|
•
|
the initial
price is the closing price of the Underlying Fund on the pricing date;
and
|
|
•
|
the final
price is the closing price of the Underlying Fund on the determination
date.
|
(b)
|
This column
shows the cash return you would receive if there were no buffer and no
digital return and your payment at maturity directly reflected the
performance of the Underlying Fund. The digital return is $280.00 and the

|
(c)
|
At maturity
you will receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of Securities, a cash
payment calculated as follows:
|
(1)
|
if the fund
return is 0% or positive, $1,000 plus the digital
return;
|
(2)
|
if the fund
return is less than 0% and down to and including -10%, $1,000;
and
|
(3)
|
if the fund
return is less than -10%, $1,000 plus [(fund return + 10%) x
$1,000].
|
(d)
|
The total
return presented is exclusive of any tax consequences of owning the
Securities. You should consult your tax advisor regarding whether owning
the Securities is appropriate for your tax situation. See the sections

Supplement.
