Business in Transition

The proposed sale of the LaSalle Bank Corporation (“LBC”, in conjunction with a proposed merger or sale of the remaining ABN AMRO group, announced in April 2007) has changed our risk state from “business as usual” to “business in transition.”

The change in risk state led to a heightened level of uncertainty.

However, the future of LBC became more clear on July 13, 2007, when the Dutch Supreme Court ruled that the sale of LBC to Bank of America can proceed without shareholder approval. This ruling overturned the previous Enterprise Chamber Court ruling in May 2007.

Business in Transition

Uncertainty still remains for the Business Unit North America ex-LBC (BUNA ex-LBC). The future for BU NA ex-LBC is expected to become more clear after the shareholder vote planned for September 20, 2007.

As a result of the uncertainty across all of BU NA, an Emerging Risk Task Force was formed in May to identify new risks or heightened risks (“emerging risks”).

The Task Force played a role during the pre-transition period by assembling a cross-functional team to re-evaluate enterprise-wide risks.

For our ERM Program, this “business in transition” state has resulted in a change in prioritization of projects as well as change in focus to “emerging risks.”

“To timely identify, manage and report all material risks in an integrated manner

to enable optimal informed and efficient decision making, resulting in increased

enterprise value.”

ABN AMRO ERM VISION

Program Objective:

“Getting the right information, to the right people, at the right time, to make the right decisions.”

This will be accomplished by:

Understanding the decisions we must inform

Providing the information necessary to inform each decision via integrated, concise, and relevant communication of risk information

Defining and establishing the components and interactions necessary to ensure that this information is collected, aggregated, analyzed, and delivered in a timely and quality manner to decision makers.

In May 2007, at the request of the RMC and the ERM Committee, the Emerging Risk Task Force was formed to respond to the changing risk state from “business as usual” to “business in transition.”

Emerging Risks are defined as those risks which are new to the organization or are heightened due to our changed risk state.

The Emerging Risk Task Force is led by Group Audit with representation from Finance, Compliance, Legal, HR, Group Security, ERM PMO, Operational Risk Management and Technology Risk Management.

The objective for the Emerging Risk Task Force is to help management identify and report to the RMC on the new and increasing risks to our organization.

At this time, no previously unidentified risks were noted. However, as the transaction unfolds, the task force expects the potential for risk to increase.

This high-level risk identification process is a continuation of the “Top Risk” process started earlier this year by the ERM PMO.

This process will continue to evolve as more clarity is provided around the expected transaction.

Overview

10

Common Emerging Risk Themes

Personnel

Most commonly cited concern was accelerated loss of key personnel and the inability to replace them. Implications noted were inability to meet service and financial performance goals.

Operations

Common theme is that quality of controls will decline due to loss of qualified staff and/or existing staff distracted by merger news. Capacity and flexibility to handle change, recover from problems, and maintain security will be diminished.

Customers

Concerns were loss of customers and difficulty in attracting new clients (or expanding existing relationships) due to going concern issues. Customer losses increasing due to departure of relationship managers and poaching by competitors.

D R A F T FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES

Emerging Risks SweitserReport owner: McNally

At the request of the RMC, a task force was created to identify emerging risks related to the current merger activities. Personnel were assigned representing all BU NA business units. Task force members interviewed RMC members and their direct reports to identify emerging risks. These tables summarize the significant task force findings.

Recommendation: RMC members review the emerging risks identified, consider if applicable to their respective business units, and report on mitigating actions that need to be taken.

Issue Theme Interview observations Actual / potential mitigating actions Cited By 1 Dashboard 2

ERM Dashboard

The ERM Dashboard was created to represent a holistic view of all risks across the

enterprise and to increase transparency of risk for BU NA.

As seen on the previous slide, there were numerous line of business and functional

reporting packages. However, prior to the creation of the ERM Dashboard, BU NA did

not have a consolidated risk reporting package. This issue was also highlighted by the

Federal Reserve earlier this year. The ERM Dashboard fills this gap and meets with

regulatory requirements.

In constructing the ERM Dashboard, BU NA’s Enterprise Risk Reporting team utilized a

“hub and spoke” structure to leverage existing risk reports while centralizing enterprise-

wide risk issues into a consistent reporting template.

This risk reporting framework is expected to support the governing committees as it

balances decision making between business and risk.

BU NA’s Dashboard was also used as a template for creation of a Group Dashboard.

Page 16: Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) ABN AMRO Business Unit North America (BU NA)

16

ERM Dashboard The ERM Dashboard has been in production since February 2007. The dashboard

was originally produced as a monthly report. However, due to more frequent risk

information requests (regulatory), our Enterprise Risk Reporting team has started to

produce a few key metrics on a weekly basis (e.g. Human Capital, Loan Pipeline and

Liquidity).

The content of the report is fact-based, identifying risks assessed by functions across

BU NA, such as:

Credit Risk, Operational Risk, Market Risk, Interest Rate Risk, Liquidity Risk,

Business Risk, Reputational Risk, Strategic Risk, Capital Management Group,

Compliance, Human Resources, Information Technology, Legal, Sarbanes-Oxley,

and Internal Audit.

On the top right of each page, an RMC member is listed to denote responsibility for

delivering fact-based risk data and to establish accountability, highlighting “de facto”

risk owners.

Market DevelopmentsRates rise Monday, as stocks rally and investors lower demand for government debt

WeimerReport owner:Caldwell

Following a week of market fluctuation, treasury prices tumbled the most since July on Monday, as the strongest U.S. stock rally in four years reduced investor demand for lower-risk government debt. The benchmark 10-year U.S. treasury note ended the week at 4.686%, climbing back to 4.739% by the end of the trading day Monday. Yields rose further on speculation that regulatory restraints for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac may ease. Treasuries had advanced for four straight weeks on concern that a continued fallout in the housing market may result in widespread weakness throughout the economy. Last week’s labor indicators strengthened treasury gains, as Nonfarm Payrolls increased 92,000 in the month of July, down from 126,000 in the month of June. Meanwhile, the Unemployment rate increased to 4.6% from 4.5% in the previous month.

BU NA Turnover by Group (Aug-YTD) • Due to the current state, we can expect to see voluntary resignations increase within the next month.

• Some small but critical increases in voluntary resignations, e.g. retention group departures in Compliance, Finance and PFS (Wealth Mgmt), as well as resignations in revenue generating roles in Commercial, Global Markets and GSTS.

• Attrition is a lagging indicator - from the time an employee acts to leave (beings interviewing) through his/her departure from payroll can be from weeks to months.

• Personnel Most commonly cited concern was accelerated loss of key personnel and the inability to replace them. Implications noted were inability to meet service and financial performance goals.

• Operations Common theme is that quality of controls will decline due to loss of qualified staff and/or existing staff distracted by merger news. Capacity and flexibility to handle change, recover from problems, and maintain security will be diminished.

• CustomersConcerns were loss of customers and difficulty in attracting new clients (or expanding existing relationships) due to going concern issues. Customer losses increasing due to departure of relationship managers and poaching by competitors.

Emerging Risks SweitserReport owner: McNally

Group Audit and Risk are identifying and monitoring emerging risks related to the current merger activities. As a result of interviewing Management from various BU NA business

units, the following significant observations were identified:

• Lack of clarity around AANA organization could cause process and control weaknesses in AANA post legal day 1.

• Concerns noted that some business-as-usual activities that continue to occur may lack relevance (e.g., budget adjustments for 2007, RSAs, special projects that may or may not be sustainable post-split) and take focus away from the transition.

• Key resources may be over-stretched for transition activities. Talented resources are being pulled into transition activities, leaving a lack of focus over business-as-usual activities. Uncertainty continues to impact morale.

• Significant tax implications exist from the unwinding of entities staying and going.

• Uncertainty regarding Bank of America’s views on relationship banking. Concerns were noted regarding the ability of the Bank to service clients as they do today and the retention of relationship management teams.

General Assessment: AMBER

Our central expectation is for continued expansion.— Economic growth rebounded solidly in the second quarter. Exports were a highlight; foreign economies are performing very well.— Housing is enduring a "double-dip," with sales still in decline. Sellers in many regions are facing more price concessions.— Credit markets have struggled during the past two weeks, with spreads widening and issues delayed. Liquidity in some sectors is almost completely absent. A flight to quality has brought long-term rates down sharply.— Most analysts view this as a temporary repricing of risk that will normalize. If the paralysis persists, however, it would represent a significant problem for the economy.— The strong job market should limit contagion to consumers. The Fed is not likely to react to recent market events in the near-term.

Possible Risk ScenariosExcessive supply creates steep (>10% nationwide) downward pressure on home prices. Reduced home equity causes consumer retrenchment.

Investors struggle to overcome recent aversion to risk. Credit spreads widen further; new issues stack up; market liquidity becomes tight.

— Weak spending initiates production cutbacks— Important equity market correction— Rising unemployment— Mild to moderate recession; potential financial dislocations

— Significant losses in a range of investment sectors— Potential contagion to financial institutions— Firms pull back from investments and hiring— Negative impact on consumer spending

Housing Correction Becomes Crash

Extended Credit Crunch

Energy Supply Shock Geopolitical events (terrorist attack on production, stress between Russia and the West) conspire to raise the price of crude to over $100 per barrel

— Inflation rises dramatically; consumers retrench— Federal Reserve takes a hard line to restrain the price level— Potential failure of agents trading in the energy markets— Transportation sector hit very hard

U.S. Default Surveillance Tool Kit*In July, the US distress ratio increased to 0.9% from its all-time low of 0.8% in June. One year ago the distress ratio was 3.2%. Distress across sectors appears consistent in recent months. In the US, healthcare and retail/restaurant

sectors displayed the highest propensity for distress.

Recommendation: Monitoring changes in economic, financial, and credit variables that go into the default surveillance tool kit offers a valuable insight into the default outlook. A rising distress ratio signals an increased need for capital and could act as a precursor to more defaults if accompanied by a credit crunch.

BulgerReport owner: Daw

Unemployment rate, slope of yield curve, corporate profits, and Standard and Poor’s outlook distribution are inputs into the Standard and Poor’s U.S. speculative-grade default rate forecast model. Risks to the default rate reflect a one-year time horizon for all variables aside from the distress ratio, which reflects a nine-month time horizon.

Stress Cases

Stress Testing is a fundamental component of enterprise risk management. A Bank is expected to conduct periodic stress tests to evaluate the potential effects on it’s financial condition of a specific event and/or movement in a set of (financial) variables.

Below are the results of a modified “2001 recession” scenario stress test (modified to be more board base than the 2001 recession).

Credit’s expected loss increases $370 million, partially offset by $128 million of interest rate and market risk gains.

Recommendation: Further conform modeling methodologies and techniques, create documentation per P-GRC formal stress testing policies, include conclusions/mitigation based on results, establish a formal oversight function and governance structure.

BulgerReport owner: Widuch

Enterprise wide stress testing is in the developmental stage across the industry. The results below are an enterprise wide stress test for BU NA under 2007 EC methodology. Currently working on a worst case

scenario based on merger.

Economic capital under stress grows to $8.5bln, in excess of Tier I capital as well as BU NA’s PfC economic capital figure of $6.3bln. The $2.1bln excess is significant, but is overstated in that it can be assumed management would intervene via risk/capital reduction activities (CLOs, hedges, swaps, etc.) and/or shrink the balance sheet to manage this figure.

Upgrades (1-2) Upgrades (>2) Downgrades (1-2)Downgrades (>2) Net

Recommendation: Continue to monitor upgrades and downgrades closely, on a monthly basis. Upgrades have outpaced downgrades in the Commercial portfolio in 2007 as last year credit quality was satisfactory. The improved performance has been picked up by MRA and has resulted in better risk ratings. Majority of upgrades in 1 to 2 notch category which is inline with stable economic conditions.

Operational Risk Profile for 2007

(Simulated using Internal and External Data)

Anticipated Increase in “Expected” Operational Risk Loss

In reaction to the pending acquisition and SBR, we do anticipate some increase in “expected” losses, but do not anticipate increased “tail” losses.

While Execution, Delivery and Process Management has the greatest frequency of operational loss, the businesses need to also focus on Client, Product and Business Practice events as these losses potentially have the greatest financial impact.

Business as usual risk assessments and simulated loss expectations indicate potential operational losses to be most frequent for Execution, Delivery and Process Management events. Top 3 event types from risk assessment tools make up 96% of total high and medium residual risks identified (Execution, Delivery and Process Management events (52%); Business Disruption and System Failures (31%); and Clients, Products and Business Practices (13%)).

Stress Scenarios for the regional NA Trading Books per 31-Jul Market Risk Comments

The average Market Risk VaR increased slightly with 0.2 mio over the last month, mostly due some more positions taking in the middle of the month. The average VaR for the period under review was EUR 6.5mm.

The Market Risk indicator for Global Markets has been changed to amber, since the Global SCTG desk (Strategic Credit Trading Group) experienced substantial losses of which 80% was allocated to Global Markets NA.

Risk ratings presented below are based on net residual risks from the Compliance Risk Assessment Methodology (CORe). The above “Compliance Risk” row reports the highest risk rating carried upward from grid.

Recommendation: Action plans have been developed to mitigate the high risks noted in the Compliance Risk Assessments. Compliance will be monitoring, tracking and reporting on the action plans.

BiernReport owner: Moffitt

CORe MethodologyAn evaluation of Inherent Risk (High, Medium, or Low) and the Quality of Risk Management (Satisfactory or Needs Improvement) was made by the Business Unit Compliance Officers. Residual Risk (noted above) is the risk that remains after consideration of the Quality of Risk Management on mitigating Inherent Risk. Residual Risk may be High, Medium or Low. The risk assessment of all Compliance obligations relating to products/services within a particular business unit were concurred with by business unit management. Risk ratings in the grid above represents the professional judgments of the respective Business Unit Compliance Officers.

High Risk CategoryIT has a High risk in Dealing with Customers with regards to Client Confidentiality -Gramm Leach Bliley Act (GLBA) - Protection and Privacy of Customer Information. The GLBA risks are related to information security, current use of production data in a testing environment and consistent controls over change management.

Updates: Although no other Regulatory Categories are rated High, a High risk rating exists within the following sub-category and Business Unit: AML Risk Assessment/Enhanced Due Diligence/Client Acceptance (Global Markets).

Additionally, the following High risk ratings within these sub-categories and Business Units have been upgraded since the last ERM report and will be reflected in the 2007 iCORe update:• Disclosure Obligations for Retail PFS will be upgraded to Medium. • Regulatory Reporting non-AML for Community Reinvestment Act will be upgraded to Medium. • AML Client Identification and Verification for LaSalle Bank Corp. will be upgraded to Low.

Trend Health Comments

Human Resources - T/O and Open Positions

NJ Securities Operations Watch MediumOperations are stabilizing. One individual who recently resigned has rejoined the Bank. Reinforcing retention in other ops. areas.

Services Risk Issues

Application Access Revalidation Status Negative High

IBM's performance is down sharply due to scheduled increases in contracted service levels that occurred in May 2007. The downward trend in service by IBM continued in June but is not accelerating. IBM's performance will be closely monitored to ensure that this is corrected.

Policy Compliance - IT Audit Issues Negative High YTD: 120 new, 124 closed, 71 currently open (20 are SOXA issues).

IBM Vendor Contract Performance Watch Medium

IBM performance is down sharply due to scheduled increases in contracted service levels that occurred in May 2007. The vendor performance will be closely monitored to ensure that this is corrected.

IT Service Disruption (time to restore service) Watch Medium

CashPro was negatively impacted by four incidents that cumulatively caused 8 hours of downtime. This downtime caused the CashPro service to miss its minimum service level. All incidents were network related. There is an ongoing CashPro Improvement Plan that will address these issues. In addition, ACH Web missed the minimum service level due to a related network incident. Online Banking was negatively impacted by one incident that caused 4 hours of downtime. This downtime caused the OLB service to miss its minimum service level.

Significant IT Incidents Stable LowThe year-to-date number of significant incidents continues to trend 40% less than experienced in 2007 than in 2006.

IT Vendors (IBM, Infosys, SyBase, Oracle, etc.) Negative High

Financial risk heightened as a result of commercial disagreements. Items under discussion are: (1) role and functions definitions, (2) deployment of licenses. We have resolved the Sybase dispute. Close to resolving IBM (W2W). FPPA dispute with INF still continues. Oracle and MSFT still being negotiated.

Transition Services Provided to AAMG (NatRes) Stable LowTransition services are stable; both stranded costs and Citi revenue forecast expected to be slightly favorable to budget.

Offshoring to ACES Stable Low Attrition issues under control.

Transaction Banking - Cash Pro BCP/DR Negative HighUnavailability of Internet Point of Presence (IPOP) for CashPro in the event of a Service Center failure.

Services Company - BCP/DR Negative High

1. Unavailability of Internet Point of Presence (IPOP) for the CashPro system in the event of a Service Center failure.2. Recovery of OMR in the event of a 540 Plaza outage is currently not in place.

D R A F T FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES

Reputation RiskIssue Management working group (IMWG) is the BU NA tool for monitoring issues that could have a significant impact

on firm’s reputation.

RounsavilleReport owner: S. Gordy

Functions represented in working group include Legal, Privacy, Civic and Sustainable Development, Business Continuity, Human Resources, Marketing, Office of the President, Operational Risk, and Compliance. Additionally, others are queried regularly.

Public Image·         Sale/Merger – The sale of LaSalle to Bank of America presents a host of reputation risks. Customers and clients, employees, and

community groups and leaders all have concerns. Recent story regarding Bank of America ATM fee increase may raise questions.

Public Image

·         Litigation Publicity -- Legal dispute resulted in an effort to amend the Illinois Credit Agreements Act. The debate at the state capitol

referenced LaSalle litigation.

·         String of incidences – ABN Amro reserve for Justice Department settlement, Federal Reserve AML fine, flood insurance fine,

employee fraud - may be connected by media for reputation damaging new s story. Lifting of Cease and Desist could ameliorate.

Information Privacy

·         Data Breach – Transition period and resulting employee attrition create potential loss or exposure of customer data. Privacy office

w orking w ith transition team to mitigate.·         Donation/Disposal of Computer Hardware – Transition period may create additional risks related to disposal of used computers,

cellular phones, and PDAs. Privacy office and others w orking to mitigate.

·         Viruses/Electronic Theft – Increasing expertise of hackers and use of w eb-based viruses to enable account access and theft puts

entire industry at risk. Reputation risk results if customers determine online banking insufficiently secure.

Consumer Lending

·         Mortgage Lending - Subprime market challenges and increased foreclosures industry-w ide have prompted heightened scrutiny by

government and press.

·         Student Loans - Investigations by multiple state attorneys general and new spapers have revealed suspect business practices and

questionable relationships betw een some lenders and university financial aid offices. Multiple settlements and headlines in recent w eeks.
