1 Index history is for illustrative purposes only and does not represent actual
PowerShares DB Agriculture ETN performance. Index history is based on a
combination of the monthly returns from the Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index
-- Optimum Yield Agriculture Excess Return(TM) (the "Agriculture Index") plus
the monthly returns from the DB 3-Month T-Bill Index (the "T-Bill Index"),
resetting monthly as per the formula applied to the PowerShares DB Agriculture
ETNs, less the investor fee. The Agriculture Index is intended to reflect
changes in the market value of certain agriculture futures contracts on corn,
wheat, soybeans and sugar. The T-Bill Index is intended to approximate the
returns from investing in 3-month United States Treasury bills on a rolling
basis.

Index history does not reflect any transaction costs or expenses. Indexes are
unmanaged, and you cannot invest directly in an index. PAST PERFORMANCE DOES NOT
GUARANTEE FUTURE RESULTS. For current index and PowerShares DB Agriculture ETN
performance, go to dbfunds.db.com/notes.

2 The PowerShares DB Agriculture ETNs are not rated but rely on the ratings of
their issuer, Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch. Credit ratings are subject to
revision or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating organization, which
may have an adverse effect on the marketability or market price of the
PowerShares DB Agriculture ETNs.

The PowerShares DB Agriculture ETNs are unsecured obligations of Deutsche Bank
AG, London Branch, and the amount due on the PowerShares DB Agriculture ETNs is
dependent on Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch's ability to pay. The rating of
Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch does not address, enhance or affect the
performance of the PowerShares DB Agriculture ETNs other than Deutsche Bank AG,
London Branch's ability to meet its obligations. The PowerShares DB Agriculture
ETNs are riskier than ordinary unsecured debt securities and have no principal
protection. Risks of investing in the PowerShares DB Agriculture ETNs include
limited portfolio diversification, uncertain principal repayment, trade price
fluctuations, illiquidity and leveraged losses. Investing in the PowerShares DB
Agriculture ETNs is not equivalent to a direct investment in the index or index
components. The investor fee will reduce the amount of your return at maturity
or upon redemption of your PowerShares DB Agriculture ETNs even if the value of
the relevant index has increased. If at any time the redemption value of the
PowerShares DB Agriculture ETNs is zero, your investment will expire worthless.
An investment in the PowerShares DB Agriculture ETNs may not be suitable for all
investors. The PowerShares DB Agriculture ETNs may be sold throughout the day on
NYSE Arca through any brokerage account. There are restrictions on the minimum
number of PowerShares DB Agriculture ETNs that you may redeem directly with
Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch, as specified in the prospectus. Ordinary
brokerage commissions apply, and there are tax consequences in the event of
sale, redemption or maturity of the PowerShares DB Agriculture ETNs. Sales in
the secondary market may result in losses.

The PowerShares DB Agriculture ETNs are concentrated in agriculture commodity
futures contracts. The market value of the PowerShares DB Agriculture ETNs may
be influenced by many unpredictable factors, including, among other things,
volatile agriculture prices, changes in supply and demand relationships, changes
in interest rates, and monetary and other governmental actions. The PowerShares
DB Agriculture ETNs are concentrated in a single commodity sector, are
speculative and generally will exhibit higher volatility than commodity products
linked to more than one commodity sector.

The PowerShares DB Agriculture Double Long ETN and PowerShares DB Agriculture
Double Short ETN are both leveraged investments. As such, they are likely
to be more volatile than an unleveraged investment. There is also a greater risk
of loss of principal associated with a leveraged investment than with an
unleveraged investment.
