ARTICLE 1

ADDITIONAL TERMS APPLICABLE TO THE CAPITAL SECURITIES

Section 1.01 Addition of Certain Terms Defined. With respect to the Capital Securities to be issued under the Indenture on or after the date of this Second Supplemental Capital Securities Indenture, Section 1.01 of the Indenture is amended to include the following definitions (which shall be deemed to arise in Section 1.01 in their proper alphabetical order):

Beneficial Owner” shall mean (i) if any Capital Securities are in global form, the beneficial owners of such Capital Securities (and any interest therein) and (ii) if any Capital Securities are in definitive form, the holders in whose name such Capital Securities are registered in the Security register of the Issuer and any beneficial owners holding an interest in such Capital Securities in definitive form.

bridge bank” means a newly chartered German bank that would receive some or all of the Issuer’s equity securities, assets, liabilities and material contracts, including those attributable to the Issuer’s branches and subsidiaries, in the event of the imposition of Resolution Measures.

competent resolution authority” means any authority with the ability to exercise a Resolution Measure.

group entity” means an entity that is included in the corporate group subject to a Resolution Measure.

Resolution Measure” has the meaning set forth in Section 1.02 of this Second Supplemental Capital Securities Indenture.

Section 1.02 Capital Securities Subject to Resolution Measures. The following provisions apply to the Capital Securities to be issued under the Indenture on or after the date of this Second Supplemental Capital Securities Indenture, unless any such Capital Security is a further issuance of Capital Securities with the same terms as Capital Securities originally issued prior to the date of this Second Supplemental Capital Securities Indenture:

(a) By acquiring any Capital Securities, each Holder (including Beneficial Owners) shall be bound by and shall be deemed to consent to the imposition of any Resolution Measure by the competent resolution authority.

 

1


(b) Under the relevant resolution laws and regulations as applicable to the Issuer from time to time, the Capital Securities may be subject to the powers exercised by the competent resolution authority to:

 

  (i)

write down, including write down to zero, the claims for payment of the principal amount, the interest amount or any other amount in respect of the Capital Securities;

 

  (ii)

convert the Capital Securities into ordinary shares of (A) the Issuer, (B) any entity of the Issuer’s group or (C) any bridge bank, or other instruments qualifying as common equity tier 1 capital (and the issue to or conferral on the Holders (including the Beneficial Owners) of such ordinary shares or instruments); and/or

 

  (iii)

apply any other resolution measure, including, but not limited to, (A) any transfer of the Capital Securities to another entity, (B) the amendment, modification or variation of the terms and conditions of the Capital Securities or (C) the cancellation of the Capital Securities;

(each, a “Resolution Measure”).

For the avoidance of doubt, any non-payment by the Issuer arising out of any such Resolution Measure will not constitute a failure by the Issuer under the terms of the Capital Securities or the Indenture to make a payment of principal of, interest on, or other amounts owing under the Capital Securities.

(c) By its acquisition of the Capital Securities, each Holder (including each Beneficial Owner) shall be deemed irrevocably to have agreed:

 

  (i)

to be bound by, to acknowledge and to accept any Resolution Measure and any amendment, modification or variation of the terms and conditions of the Capital Securities to give effect to any Resolution Measure;

 

  (ii)

that it will have no claim or other right against the Issuer arising out of any Resolution Measure; and

 

  (iii)

that the imposition of any Resolution Measure will not constitute a default or an Event of Default (A) under the Capital Securities, (B) under the Indenture or (C) for the purpose of, but only to the fullest extent permitted by, the Trust Indenture Act (including, without limitation, Section 315(b) (Notice of Default) and Section 315(c) (Duties of the Trustee in Case of Default) of the Trust Indenture Act).

(d) The terms and conditions of the Capital Securities shall continue to apply in relation to the residual principal amount of, or outstanding amount payable in respect of, the Capital Securities, subject to any modification of the amount of interest payable, if any, to reflect the reduction of the principal amount, and any further modification of the terms that the competent resolution authority may decide in accordance with applicable laws and regulations relating to the resolution of banks, banking group companies, credit institutions and/or investment firms incorporated in the Federal Republic of Germany.

(e) No repayment of any then-current principal amount of the Capital Securities or payment of interest or any other amount thereon (to the extent of the portion thereof affected by the imposition of a Resolution Measure) shall become due and payable after the imposition of any Resolution Measure by the competent resolution authority, unless such repayment or payment would be permitted to be made by the Issuer under the laws and regulations of the Federal Republic of Germany then applicable to the Issuer.

(f) By its acquisition of the Capital Securities, each Holder (including each Beneficial Owner) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by the Trust Indenture Act and applicable law, any and all claims against the Trustee and the Agents for, agrees not to initiate a suit against the Trustee or the Agents in respect of, and agrees that the Trustee and the Agents shall not be liable for, any action that the Trustee or any of the Agents takes, or abstains from taking, in either case in accordance with the imposition of a Resolution Measure by the competent resolution authority with respect to the Capital Securities.

(g) Upon the imposition of a Resolution Measure by the competent resolution authority with respect to the Capital Securities, the Issuer shall provide a written notice directly to the Holders in accordance with Section 11.04 of the Indenture as soon as practicable regarding such imposition of a Resolution Measure by a competent resolution authority for purposes of notifying Holders of such occurrence. The Issuer shall also deliver a copy of such notice to the Trustee and the Agents for information purposes only, and the Trustee and the Agents shall be entitled to rely, and will not be liable for relying, on the competent resolution authority and the Resolution Measure identified in such notice. Any delay or failure by the Issuer to give notice shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any Resolution Measure nor the effects thereof on the Capital Securities.

 

2


(h) If the Issuer has elected to redeem any Capital Securities but the competent resolution authority has imposed a Resolution Measure with respect to the Capital Securities prior to the payment of the redemption amount for the Capital Securities, the relevant redemption notice, if any, shall be automatically rescinded and shall be of no force and effect, and no payment of the redemption amount will be due and payable.

(i) Upon the imposition of any Resolution Measure by the competent resolution authority, the Trustee shall not be required to take any further directions from Holders of the Capital Securities under Section 5.09 of the Indenture, which section authorizes Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Capital Securities at the time Outstanding to direct certain actions relating to the Capital Securities, and if any such direction was previously given under Section 5.09 of the Indenture to the Trustee by the Holders, it shall automatically cease to be effective, be null and void and have no further effect. The Indenture shall impose no duties, obligations or liabilities upon the Trustee or the Agents whatsoever with respect to the imposition of any Resolution Measure by the competent resolution authority, and the Trustee and the Agents shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting in accordance with a Resolution Measure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, following completion of the imposition of a Resolution Measure by the competent resolution authority, the Capital Securities remain outstanding (for example, if the imposition of a Resolution Measure results in only a partial write-down of the principal of the Capital Securities), then the Trustee’s and the Agents’ duties under the Indenture shall remain applicable with respect to the Capital Securities following such completion to the extent that the Issuer, the Trustee and the Agents agree pursuant to a supplemental indenture, unless the Issuer, the Trustee and the Agents agree that a supplemental indenture is not necessary.

(j) By the acquisition of the Capital Securities, each Holder (including each Beneficial Owner) shall be deemed irrevocably to have (i) consented to the imposition of any Resolution Measure as it may be imposed without any prior notice by the competent resolution authority of its decision to exercise such power with respect to the Capital Securities, (ii) authorized, directed and requested the Depositary and any direct participant in the Depositary or other intermediary through which it holds such Capital Securities to take any and all necessary action, if required, to implement the imposition of any Resolution Measure with respect to the Capital Securities as it may be imposed, without any further action or direction on the part of such Holders of the Capital Securities, the Trustee or the Agents, and (iii) acknowledged and accepted that the provisions contained in this Section 1.02 are exhaustive on the matters described this Section 1.02 to the exclusion of any other agreements, arrangements or understandings between it and the Issuer relating to the terms and conditions of the Capital Securities.

(k) If the competent resolution authority imposes a Resolution Measure with respect to less than the total outstanding principal amount of the Capital Securities, unless the Trustee or the Agents are otherwise instructed by the Issuer or the competent resolution authority, any cancellation, write-off or conversion into equity made in respect of the Capital Securities pursuant to the Resolution Measure will be made on a substantially pro rata basis among the Capital Securities of any series.

(l) The Issuer’s obligations to indemnify the Trustee and the Agents in accordance with Sections 6.02 and 6.06 of the Indenture shall survive the imposition of a Resolution Measure by the competent resolution authority with respect to the Capital Securities. For the avoidance of doubt, any and all amounts due and owing to the Trustee under any provision of the Indenture shall be payable within six (6) days of the date specified for payment or where no date is specified, the date on which the Trustee demands payment in accordance with the applicable provision of the Indenture.

In any such event, no amounts shall be payable in respect of the Capital Securities until (i) the claims of such unsubordinated creditors of the Issuer, (ii) the claims specified in Section 39(1) nos. 1 to 5 of the German Insolvency Code or any successor provision, and (iii) the claims under such Tier 2 instruments have been satisfied in full. Subject to the foregoing, the Issuer may satisfy its obligations under the Capital Securities also from other distributable assets (freies Vermögen) of the Issuer.

Claims under the Capital Securities will rank pari passu with the claims against the Issuer under the Issuer’s other instruments issued as Additional Tier 1 capital within the meaning of the CRR and, as of the date of this Second Supplemental Capital Securities Indenture, (i) the subordinated guarantee given by the Issuer in relation with the issuance by Deutsche Bank Contingent Capital Trust II of its U.S.$ 800,000,000 Non-cumulative Trust Preferred Securities (ISIN US25153X2080); (ii) the subordinated guarantee given by the Issuer in relation with the issuance by Deutsche Bank Contingent Capital Trust IV of its EUR 1,000,000,000 Non-cumulative Trust Preferred Securities (ISIN DE000A0TU305); and (iii) the subordinated guarantee given by the Issuer in relation with the issuance by Deutsche Bank Contingent Capital Trust V of its U.S.$ 1,385,000,000 Non-cumulative Trust Preferred Securities (ISIN US25150L1089). The preceding list of subordinated guarantees may be amended from time to time as set out in the terms of the Capital Securities.

The term “unsubordinated creditors” shall mean the holders of any indebtedness or other payment obligation of the Issuer that is not expressed to be subordinated by means of contractual agreement or as a matter of law (including claims against the Issuer under its senior non-preferred debt instruments within the meaning of Section 46f(6) sentence 1 of the German Banking Act (Kreditwesengesetz) or any successor provision).

No subsequent agreement may limit the subordination of any Capital Securities or shorten the term of any series of Capital Securities or any notice period applicable to such series.

No Holder may set off his claims arising under any series of the Capital Securities against any claims of the Issuer. No collateral or guarantee of whatever kind is, or shall at any time be, provided by the Issuer or any other person securing rights of the Holders under the any series of the Capital Securities, and any collateral or guarantee already provided or granted in the future in connection with the Issuer’s other liabilities may not be used for claims under the Capital Securities.”
