Issuer:               Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch

Maturity / Tenor:     18 Months

Basket:               Weighted Basket comprised of the S&P 500(R) Index and
                      the Russell 2000(R) Index (each, a Basket Index and
                      collectively, the Basket Indices)

Initial Basket        100
Level:

Final Basket Level:   100 x [1 + (S&P 500 Return x 60.00%) + (Russell 2000
                      Return x 40.00%)], where the S&P 500 Return and
                      Russell 2000 Return are each the performance of the
                      respective Basket Indices, expressed as a
                      percentage, from the respective index closing level
                      on the Trade Date to the respective index closing
                      level on the Final Valuation Date.

Basket Return:             Final Basket Level - Initial Basket Level
                                        Initial Basket Level

                      (subject to the Basket Return Cap)

Basket Return Cap:    12.00% - 16.80%  (TBD on Trade Date)

Maximum Return:       15.00% - 21.00%  (TBD on Trade Date)

                      (a) is greater than or equal to the Initial Basket
                      Level, a cash payment equal to the Basket Return,
                      which is subject to the Basket Return Cap,
                      multiplied by the Participation Rate.  Accordingly,
                      subject to the Maximum Return,  the Payment at
                      Maturity will be:  $1,000 + ($1,000 x Basket Return
                      x Participation Rate); OR

                      (b)  is less than the Initial Basket Level, and such
                      decline is equal to or less than the Buffer Level,
                      the Payment at Maturity will be $1,000; OR

                      (c) is less than the Initial Basket Level, and such
                      decline is greater than the Buffer Level, the
                      Payment at Maturity will be $1,000 + [$1,000 x
                      (Basket Return + Buffer Level)].

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                         Best Case Scenario at Maturity
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If the Basket Return is positive, investors will receive 125% of the
performance of the Basket Return at maturity, subject to a Basket
Return Cap of between 12.00% and 16.80% (TBD on Trade Date) for a
Maximum Return of  between 15.00% and 21.00% (TBD on Trade Date).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                        Worst Case Scenario at Maturity
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If the Final Basket Level is lower than the Initial Basket Level by
more than the Buffer Level, an investment in the BUyS will decline
by 1% for every 1% decline in the Basket beyond the Buffer Level.
Subject to the credit of the Issuer, the maximum loss at maturity on
an investment is 90%.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                    Benefits
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 o   Domestic  equity index exposure with principal  protection for first 10% of
     any depreciation and upside leverage, subject to the BaskZet Return Cap

 o   125% of any positive Basket Return up to the Basket Return Cap

 o   The BUyS will  outperform  the Basket at maturity if the Final Basket Level
     is below the Initial Basket Level
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                     Risks
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 o   Because the BUyS do not offer full  principal  protection  of your  initial
     investment and the return of the BUyS is linked to the weighted performance
     of the Basket Indices, you may lose up to 90% of your initial investment

 o   Return on the BUyS is limited by the Basket  Return  Cap,  and you will not
     benefit from any appreciation of the Basket beyond the Basket Return Cap

 o   Return on the BUyS is linked to the value of the Basket without taking into
     consideration  the value of dividends  paid on the component  stocks of the
     Basket Components

 o   An investment in the BUyS is subject to the credit of the Issuer

This hypothetical scenario analysis does not reflect advisory fees, brokerage or other commissions, or any other expenses that an investor may incur in connection with the BUyS.  No representation is made that any trading strategy or account will, or is likely to, achieve similar returns to those shown above. Hypothetical results are neither an indicator nor guarantee of future returns. Actual results will vary, perhaps materially, from this analysis. The numbers appearing in the above table have been rounded for ease of analysis.

Selected Risk Factors
 
YOUR INVESTMENT IN THE BUyS MAY RESULT IN A LOSS – The BUyS do not guarantee any return of your initial investment in excess of $100 per $1,000 face amount. The return on the BUyS at maturity is linked to the weighted performance of the Basket Indices and will depend on whether, and the extent to which, the Basket performance is positive or negative.
 
THE RETURN ON YOUR BUyS IS LIMITED BY THE BASKET RETURN CAP – The Basket Return cannot exceed the Basket Return Cap of between 12.00% and 16.80% (to be determined on the Trade Date) and your payment at maturity is limited to a maximum payment of between $1,150.00 and $1,210.00 (to be determined on the Trade Date) for each $1,000 face amount of the BUyS you hold, regardless of any increase in the Basket beyond the Basket Return Cap.
 
CERTAIN BUILT-IN COSTS ARE LIKELY TO ADVERSELY AFFECT THE VALUE OF THE BUyS PRIOR TO MATURITY – Certain built-in costs, such as our estimated cost of hedging, are likely to adversely affect the value of the BUyS prior to maturity. You should be willing and able to hold your BUyS to maturity.
 
NO PERIODIC COUPON OR DIVIDEND PAYMENTS OR VOTING RIGHTS  You will not receive periodic coupon payments on the BUyS or have voting rights or rights to receive cash dividends or other distributions with respect to the component stocks of the Basket Indices.
 
OUR RESEARCH, OPINIONS OR RECOMMENDATIONS COULD AFFECT THE LEVEL OF THE BASKET INDICES OR THE MARKET VALUE OF THE BUyS – We and our affiliates and agents may publish research, express opinions or provide recommendations that are inconsistent with investing in or holding the BUyS, which could affect the level of the Basket Indices or the value of the BUyS.
 
POTENTIAL CONFLICTS – Because we and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance of the BUyS, including acting as calculation agent and hedging our obligations under the BUyS, the economic interests of the calculation agent and other affiliates of ours are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the BUyS.
 
MANY ECONOMIC AND MARKET FACTORS WILL AFFECT THE VALUE OF THE BUyS – In addition to the level of the Basket Indices on any day, the value of the BUyS will be affected by a number of complex and interrelated economic and market factors that may either offset or magnify each other.
 
LACK OF LIQUIDITY – There may be little or no secondary market for the BUyS. The BUyS will not be listed on any securities exchange.
 
 
 
CHANGES IN THE VALUE OF THE BASKET INDICES MAY OFFSET EACH OTHER – Price movements in the Basket Indices may not correlate with each other. Therefore, in calculating the Basket Return, increases in the level of one or more of the Basket Indices may be moderated, offset or more than offset by lesser increases or declines in the levels of the other Basket Indices.
 
CHANGES IN THE VALUE OF THE BASKET COMPONENTS MAY OFFSET EACH OTHER – Price movements in the Basket Components may not correlate with each other. Therefore, in calculating the Basket Return, increases in the level of one or more of the Basket Components may be moderated, offset or more than offset by lesser increases or declines in the levels of the other Basket Components.
 
COUNTERPARTY RISK – The payment of amounts owed to you under the BUyS is subject to the Issuer’s ability to pay. Consequently, you are subject to counterparty risk and are susceptible to risks relating to the creditworthiness of Deutsche Bank AG.
 
THE U.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES OF AN INVESTMENT IN THE BUyS ARE UNCLEAR – Significant aspects of the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the BUyS are uncertain, and the Internal Revenue Service or a court might not agree with the tax consequences described in the accompanying term sheet.
