Spin-Offs:
 
If as a result of any Potential Adjustment Event, existing holders of the Shares of the Issuer receive a distribution or dividend (a “Spin-off Event”) of shares of common stock or tracking stock other than such Shares (“Spin-off Shares”), then the Calculation Agent shall adjust the terms of each Transaction upon the election of Counterparty by either the Basket Method, the Fission Method or the Silo Method; provided that if Counterparty fails to make such election prior to the occurrence of such Spin-off Event, Counterparty shall be deemed to have elected the Basket Method.
Basket Method” means, with respect to any Spin-off Event, that the term “Shares” for such Transaction will mean a basket of shares composed of the original Shares and the Spin-off Shares distributed in such Spin-off Event in the relative proportions and number of shares reflecting the relative proportions and number of shares in such Spin-off Event, and such Transaction will become a Share Basket Forward Transaction on such original Shares and the Spin-off Shares with such adjustments as the Calculation Agent deems necessary to preserve terms, including the risk profile, substantially identical to the original Transaction.
Fission Method” means, with respect to any Spin-off Event, that such Transaction shall be split into multiple parts with terms identical to the original Transaction, except that with respect to each such Transaction: the term “Shares” shall refer (without duplication) to one of the original Shares or the Spin-off Shares and the term “Issuer” shall refer to the issuer thereof; the Notional Amount shall be adjusted by the Calculation Agent on the basis of the market values (immediately prior to such Spin-off Event) of the Shares and the Spin-off Shares distributed with respect to each share of the original Shares; the Number of Shares with respect to any part of the Transaction relating to such Spin-off Shares shall be the number of shares of such Spin-off Shares distributed with respect to the original Shares; and such adjustments as the Calculation Agent deems necessary to preserve terms, including the risk profile, substantially identical to the original Transaction.
 
 
5

 
   Silo Method” means, with respect to any Spin-off Event, that the term “Shares” for such Transaction will mean either the original Shares or the Spin-off Shares at the election of Counterparty with such adjustments as the Calculation Agent deems necessary to preserve terms including the risk profile, substantially identical to the original Transaction; provided, however, that Counterparty shall pay to Deutsche commercially reasonable fees and expenses related to any hedging adjustments Deutsche must make, and provided further that if Deutsche determines that the Silo Method negatively impacts its risk profile, it will notify Counterparty that the Silo Method is not available and Counterparty will only have an option to elect adjustment by the Basket Method or Fission Method.
Notice of Adjustment:
The Calculation Agent shall provide Deutsche and Counterparty with notice of any Calculation Agent Adjustment within three (3) Scheduled Trading Days of the time of the adjustment.

Extraordinary Events:

The definition of "New Shares" in Section 12.1(i) of the Equity Definitions shall apply; provided, however, that:

For the avoidance of doubt, if any Optional Early Termination Final Date is designated as set forth above, with respect to any Transaction or that portion of any Transaction that is terminated, (1) the Optional Early Termination Final Date shall be deemed to be the Valuation Date (subject to modification as set forth opposite the caption “Averaging Dates” in Annex B and to Disrupted Day provisions, if applicable), (2) the Optional Early Termination Settlement Date (as defined below) shall be deemed to be the Cash Settlement Payment Date or Settlement Date, as applicable (subject to modification as set forth opposite the caption “Averaging Dates” in Annex B), (3) the Settlement Price shall be calculated in accordance with “Settlement Terms” above as if the Optional Early Termination Final Date were the Final Date, and (4) the Calculation Agent shall make the calculations described under “Valuation” and “Settlement Terms” above with respect to all or a portion of the Transaction being terminated, as applicable, and the remainder of the Transaction shall continue in accordance with its terms.

Settlement:
Notwithstanding anything else in the Equity Definitions or the Agreement, upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, an Extraordinary Event, an Additional Disruption Event or an Additional Termination Event (other than an Optional Early Termination), with respect to any Transaction or portion of a Transaction, then with respect to that Transaction or portion of the Transaction that is terminated, (1) the Final Date shall be deemed to have occurred on the date that is thirty (30) Exchange Business Days from the date of such occurrence (provided, however, that (a) the parties may agree to modify such date and (b) with respect to a Termination Event, Additional Termination Event or Additional Disruption Event, Deutsche may elect to shorten such period by up to 25 Exchange Business Days, with Counterparty’s consent, or lengthen such period by up to 10 Exchange Business Days, without Counterparty’s consent), (2) the parties shall settle the Transaction or portion of the Transaction that is terminated as if the provisions of the Equity Definitions and “Valuation” and “Settlement Terms” above were applicable on such deemed Final Date, using the deemed Final Date to calculate the deemed Cash Settlement Payment Date or Settlement Date, (3) the Settlement Price shall be calculated in accordance with “Settlement Terms” above as if the deemed Final Date were the Final Date (except if the Shares are not listed or quoted on the Exchange or a Related Exchange or in the event of termination due to Nationalization or Insolvency, the Settlement Price shall be calculated by reference to an objective measure as determined by the Calculation Agent), and (4) the Calculation Agent shall make the calculations described under “Valuation” and “Settlement Terms” above with respect to all or a portion of the Transaction being terminated, as applicable, and the remainder of the Transaction shall continue in accordance with its terms.

ANNEX B
 
Spread:
95 basis points per annum, until the initial Deutsche Optional Early Termination Date and thereafter, 80 basis points per annum, or such other rate applicable to the relevant Transaction pursuant to “Optional Early Termination” above.
Independent Amount with respect to Counterparty:
On the Trade Date, Independent Amount with respect to Counterparty shall be 7.5% of the Notional Amount; provided, however, that if the Credit Rating (as defined in the Master Confirmation) is reduced one level from the Credit Rating as of the Trade Date, the Independent Amount with respect to Counterparty shall be increased to 15% of the Notional Amount.
Averaging Dates:
The seven (7) Exchange Business Days immediately following and including the Final Date, or such other period as the parties may agree.  For the avoidance of doubt, Deutsche may extend the Averaging Date period and thereby postpone the Cash Settlement Payment Date to the extent deemed necessary, upon the advice of counsel, to comply with Rule 144 under the Securities Act in disposing of any Hedge Position due to any status by Counterparty as an affiliate of the Issuer.
Change in Law:
Applicable, except that (1) the definition of Change in Law shall be amended by adding the following language in the fifth line after “authority),” and before “a party”: “or (C) due to an event that results in any shareholder rights being distributed or becoming separated from shares of common stock or other shares of the capital stock of the Issuer pursuant to a shareholder rights plan or arrangement directed against hostile takeovers that provides upon the occurrence of certain events for a distribution of preferred stock, warrants, debt instruments or stock rights, or (D) due to the Issuer subjecting holders of the Shares to differential treatment with regard to payment of dividends or distributions,” and (2) if only subsection (Y) of the definition is applicable, the sole remedy for Deutsche shall be a Price Adjustment as determined by Deutsche in a commercially reasonable manner.
 
Credit Downgrade:
Deutsche may exercise its Optional Early Termination right in whole or in part if the Credit Rating is reduced two levels or more from the Credit Rating on the Trade Date or if the five (5) year par Credit Default Swap spread exceeds 4.50% at any time after the Trade Date.  To the extent it is commercially unreasonable to physically settle at that time, instead of Deutsche having the option to exercise its Optional Early Termination right immediately, Counterparty can elect to increase the Independent Amount to 30% of Notional Amount, in which case Deutsche may exercise its Optional Early Termination right in whole or in part immediately after it ceases to be commercially unreasonable to physically settle.
