          that of Intel and Dell at the time that Mr. Meurice was working there, with a
          focus on innovation and technology leadership, as well as a healthy balance of

<TD><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Mr. Westerburgen,
chairman of the Remuneration Committee of the Supervisory Board,           replied that
the fixed base salary of Mr. Meurice amounts to 600,000 euros. In           addition,
there is an additional variable component of 600,000 euros. This           variable
component consists of a cash bonus (50%), stock options (25%) and long           term
shares (25%). The variable part of the remuneration package will be granted           on
the basis of targets, which can be measured internally. For the granting of
          long-term shares ASML&#146;s performance with respect to ROIC <I>(Return on
          Invested Capital</I>) over a period of three years is compared to the
          performance of the peer group. In addition, Mr Meurice was granted 125,000 sign
          on stock options, the regular pension scheme is applicable to him and his
          severance payment is limited to one year&#146;s base salary (gross). Finally
          there is an arrangement for an accommodation allowance. Mr. Meurice&#146;s
          contract contains no further special elements.  </FONT></TD></TR></TABLE><BR>

Mr. Boom inquired as to whether share price is one of the targets on the basis of which
the variable remuneration is granted, what the accommodation allowance entails and whether
there will be transition period. </FONT></TD></TR></TABLE><BR>

small amount is paid for living expenses and that there will be a transition period until
mid-November. </FONT></TD></TR></TABLE><BR>

<TD><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Mr.
Verlijsdonk remarked that, in his view, Mr. Meurice&#146;s remuneration package
          is quite generous, among others in view of the reorganization that took place
in           2004. The fact that Mr. Meurice&#146;s starting salary is equal to Mr.
          Dunn&#146;s final salary surprised Mr. Verlijsdonk. Finally, Mr. Verlijsdonk
          referred to a report by KPMG, which had been published recently and in which it
          was concluded that generous bonus schemes for management can induce fraud. Mr.
          Verlijsdonk would like to know ASML&#146;s position with regard to this
subject.  </FONT></TD></TR></TABLE><BR>

Chairman answered that in ASML&#146;s view Mr. Meurice&#146;s remuneration is in line with
the position and the responsibilities that go with it. The position of CEO needs to be
fulfilled in the best way possible from the start, there is no period to settle into the
job. </FONT></TD></TR></TABLE><BR>

respect to the fraud remark, ASML has an open relationship with the external auditor. The
Chairman has no doubt whatsoever that ASML&#146;s financial reporting is being carried out
in a correct manner. Finally, the Chairman remarked that Mr. Meurice&#146;s remuneration
package is in line with the remuneration policy that was adopted by the General Meeting of
Shareholders in March 2004. </FONT></TD></TR></TABLE><BR>
