• Capped Buffered Underlying Securities (BUyS) Linked to the Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index - Optimum YieldTM Excess Return due November 28*, 2012 (the “BUyS”) are designed for investors who seek a return at maturity of 150.00% of the appreciation, if any, of the Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index - Optimum YieldTM Excess Return (the “Index”), up to an Index Return Cap (as defined below) of between 29.50% and 36.50% (to be determined on the Trade Date). Investors should be willing to forgo coupon payments during the term of the BUyS and to lose up to 90.00% of their initial investment if the Index declines. Any payment at maturity is subject to the credit of the Issuer.

• Denominations of $1,000 (the “Face Amount”) and minimum initial investments of $1,000

• The BUyS are expected to price on or about November 23*, 2009 and are expected to settle three business days later on or about November 27*, 2009 (the “Settlement Date”).

• After the Trade Date but prior to the Settlement Date, we may accept additional orders for the BUyS and increase the Face Amount.

Issuer:	Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch
Index:	Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index - Optimum YieldTM Excess Return
Issue Price:	100% of the Face Amount
Payment at Maturity:	·    If the Final Level is greater than or equal to the Initial Level, you will receive a cash payment per $1,000 Face Amount of BUyS that provides you with a return on your investment equal to the Index Return, subject to the Index Return Cap, multiplied by the Participation Rate, subject to the Maximum Return. Accordingly, subject to the Maximum Return, your payment at maturity per $1,000 Face Amount will be calculated as follows:

What Is the Payment Amount on the BUyS at Maturity Assuming a Range of Performance for the Index?

The table below illustrates the payment at maturity per BUyS Face Amount for a hypothetical range of performance for the Index from -100.00% to +100.00% and assumes a Participation Rate of 150.00%, a Buffer Level of 10.00%, an Index Return Cap of 33.00%, a Maximum Return of 49.50% and an Initial Level of 480.00 (the actual Index Return Cap, Maximum Return and Initial Level will be determined on the Trade Date). The following results are based solely on the hypothetical example cited. You should consider carefully whether the BUyS are suitable to your investment goals. The numbers appearing in the table below have been rounded for ease of analysis.

Final Level	Percentage Change in Index	Index Return (%)	Payment at Maturity ($)	Return on BUyS (%)

Hypothetical Examples of Amounts Payable at Maturity

The following hypothetical examples illustrate how the payments at maturity set forth in the table above are calculated.

Example 1: The level of the Index increases from the Initial Level of 480.00 to the Final Level of 528.00. Because the Index percentage change of 10% is less than the Index Return Cap of 33.00%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,150.00 per BUyS Face Amount calculated as follows:

Payment at maturity = $1,000.00 + ($1,000.00 x 10.00% x 150.00%) = $1,150.00

Example 2: The level of the Index increases from the Initial Level of 480.00 to the Final Level of 720.00. Because the Index percentage change of 50% is greater than the Index Return Cap of 33.00%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,495.00 per BUyS Face Amount, the maximum payment on the BUyS.

Payment at maturity = $1,000.00 + ($1,000.00 x 33.00% x 150.00%) = $1,495.00

Example 3: The level of the Index declines from the Initial Level of 480.00 to the Final Level of 470.40. Because the 2% decline in the Index from the Initial Level of 480.00 to the Final Level of 470.40 does not exceed the Buffer Level of 10.00%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,000.00 per BUyS Face Amount.

Payment at maturity = $1,000.00

TS-2

Example 4: The level of the Index declines from the Initial Level of 480.00 to the Final Level of 336.00. Because the 30% decline in the Index from the Initial Level of 480.00 to the Final Level of 336.00 exceeds the Buffer Level of 10.00%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $800.00 per BUyS Face Amount calculated as follows:

Payment at maturity = $1,000.00 + [$1,000.00 x (-30.00% + 10.00%)] = $800.00

Example 5: The level of the Index declines from the Initial Level of 480.00 to the Final Level of 0. Because the decline in the Index from the Initial Level of 480.00 to the Final Level of 0 exceeds the Buffer Level of 10.00%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $100.00 per BUyS Face Amount calculated as follows:

Payment at maturity = $1,000.00 + [$1,000.00 x  (-100.00% + 10.00%)] = $100.00

Selected Purchase Considerations

• THE APPRECIATION POTENTIAL OF THE BUYS IS LIMITED – You will not benefit from any appreciation of the Index beyond the Index Return Cap of between 29.50% and 36.50% (to be determined on the Trade Date), and therefore the maximum payment you can receive is between $1,442.50 and $1,547.50 (to be determined on the Trade Date) for each $1,000 Face Amount of BUyS. Because the BUyS are our senior obligations, payment of any amount at maturity is subject to our ability to pay our obligations as they become due.

• LIMITED PROTECTION AGAINST LOSS – Payment at maturity of the Face Amount of your BUyS is protected against a decline in the Final Level, as compared to the Initial Level, of up to the Buffer Level, subject to our ability to pay our obligations as they become due. If such decline is more than the Buffer Level of 10.00%, for every 1% decline beyond the Buffer Level, you will lose an amount equal to 1% of the Face Amount of your BUyS. For example, an Index Return of -20.00% will result in a 10% loss of your initial investment.

• RETURN LINKED TO THE PERFORMANCE OF THE DEUTSCHE BANK LIQUID COMMODITY INDEX - OPTIMUM YIELDTM EXCESS RETURN – The return on the BUyS is linked to the Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index - Optimum YieldTM Excess Return. The Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index — Optimum Yield™ Excess Return is composed of futures contracts on six commodities — Crude Oil, Heating Oil, Aluminum, Gold, Wheat and Corn. The Index’s “Optimum Yield” component employs a rules-based approach when the Index rolls from one futures contract to another. Rather than selecting the new futures contract based on a pre-defined schedule, the Index rolls to a successor futures contract from a list of tradable futures contracts set to expire within the next thirteen months in a manner that seeks to generate the maximum implied roll yield. In this way, the Index seeks to maximize the potential roll benefits in backwardated markets and minimize the loss from rolling down the curve in contango markets. The closing level of the Index is calculated on an “excess return basis.”

On November 10, 2009, the Instrument Amounts for the Exchange Traded Instruments relating to the respective Index Constituents were as follows:

Index Constituent	Relevant Exchange	Instrument Amount
Heating Oil	NYMEX	19.87%
Crude Oil	NYMEX	34.82%
Aluminum	LME	12.55%
Gold	COMEX	10.02%
Corn	CBOT	11.42%
Wheat	CBOT	11.32%

For more information on the Index, including its calculation methodology, see “The Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index – Optimum Yield™” in underlying supplement 2. Terms relating to the Index used but not defined in this term sheet are defined in underlying supplement 2.

• A COMMODITY HEDGING DISRUPTION EVENT MAY RESULT IN ACCELERATION OF THE BUYS – If a commodity hedging disruption event (as defined in the accompanying product supplement) occurs, we will have the right, but not the obligation, to accelerate the payment on the BUyS. The amount due and payable per $1,000 BUyS Face Amount of BUyS upon such early acceleration will be determined by the calculation agent in good faith in a commercially reasonable manner on the date on which we deliver notice of such acceleration and will be payable on the fifth business day following the day on which the calculation agent delivers notice of such acceleration will be determined by the calculation

TS-3

agent in good faith in a commercially reasonable manner on the date on which we deliver notice of such acceleration and will be payable on the fifth business day following the day on which the calculation agent delivers notice of such acceleration.

Please see the risk factor entitled “Commodity Futures Contracts are Subject to Uncertain Legal and Regulatory Regimes, Which May Result in a Hedging Disruption Event and a Loss on Your Investment” in the accompanying product supplement for more information.

• TAX CONSEQUENCES – You should review carefully the section of the accompanying product supplement entitled “U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences.” Although the tax consequences of an investment in the BUyS are uncertain, we believe it is reasonable to treat the BUyS as prepaid financial contracts for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Under this treatment, you should not recognize taxable income or loss prior to the maturity of your BUyS, other than pursuant to a sale or exchange. Your gain or loss on the BUyS should be capital gain or loss and should be long-term capital gain or loss if you have held the BUyS for more than one year. If, however, the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") were successful in asserting an alternative treatment for the BUyS, the tax consequences of ownership and disposition of the BUyS might be affected materially and adversely. We do not plan to request a ruling from the IRS, and the IRS or a court might not agreewith the tax treatment described in this term sheet and the accompanying product supplement.

In December 2007, Treasury and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on various issues regarding the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar instruments, such as the BUyS. The notice focuses in particular on whether to require holders of these instruments to accrue income over the term of their investment. It also asks for comments on a number of related topics, including the character of income or loss with respect to these instruments; the relevance of factors such as the nature of the underlying property to which the instruments are linked; the degree, if any, to which income (including any mandated accruals) realized by non-U.S. persons should be subject to withholding tax; and whether these instruments are or should be subject to the "constructive ownership" regime, which very generally can operate to recharacterize certain long-term capital gain as ordinary income that is subject to an interest charge. While the notice requests comments on appropriate transition rules and effective dates, any Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment in the BUyS, possibly with retroactive effect.

Under current law, the United Kingdom will not impose withholding tax on payments made with respect to the BUyS.

For a discussion of certain German tax considerations relating to the BUyS, you should refer to the section in the accompanying prospectus supplement entitled “Taxation by Germany of Non-Resident Holders.”

We do not provide any advice on tax matters. Both U.S. and non-U.S. holders should consult their tax advisers regarding the U.S. federal tax consequences of an investment in the BUyS (including possible alternative treatments and the issues presented by the December 2007 notice), as well as tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing jurisdiction.

Selected Risk Considerations

An investment in the BUyS involves significant risks. Investing in the BUyS is not equivalent to investing directly in the Index or in any of the components of the Index. These risks are explained in more detail in the “Risk Factors” section of the accompanying product supplement.

• YOUR INVESTMENT IN THE BUYS IS PROTECTED ONLY TO THE EXTENT OF THE BUFFER LEVEL – The BUyS do not guarantee any return of your initial investment in excess of $100.00 per $1,000 BUyS Face Amount. The return on the BUyS at maturity is linked to the performance of the Index and will depend on whether, and the extent to which, the Index Return is positive or negative. Your investment will be exposed to any decline in the Final Level, as compared to the Initial Level, beyond the Buffer Level. Accordingly, you could lose up to $900.00 for each $1,000 that you invest. Payment of any amount at maturity is subject to our ability to meet our obligations as they become due.

• THE RETURN ON YOUR BUYS IS LIMITED BY THE MAXIMUM RETURN – As a holder of the BUyS, you will not benefit from any appreciation of the Index beyond the Index Return Cap of between 29.50% and 36.50% (to be determined on the Trade Date). Consequently, the BUyS are subject to a Maximum Return of between 44.25% and 54.75% (to be determined on the Trade Date) and your payment at maturity will be

TS-4

limited to a maximum payment of between  $1,442.50 and $1,547.50 for each $1,000 Face Amount of BUyS you hold, regardless of any further appreciation of the Index, which may be significant.

• THE BUYS ARE SUBJECT TO OUR CREDITWORTHINESS — An actual or anticipated downgrade in our credit rating will likely have an adverse effect on the market value of the BUyS. The payment at maturity on the BUyS is subject to our creditworthiness.

• NO RIGHTS IN EXCHANGE-TRADED FUTURES CONTRACTS ON THE INDEX CONSTITUENTS — As an owner of the BUyS, you will not have any rights that holders of exchange-traded futures contracts on the commodities included in the Index may have.

• ADJUSTMENTS TO THE WEIGHTS OF THE CONSTITUENTS OF THE INDEX MAY LIMIT THE INDEX RETURN AND CONSEQUENTLY THE RETURN ON THE BUYS — During the term of the BUyS, the methodology of the Index may require adjustments to the weights of the futures contracts included in the Index. In particular, the weight of a futures contract may be increased when its price is historically low or decreased when its price is historically high. These adjustments may limit potential increases to the value of the Index during certain periods and could adversely affect the Index Return. See “The Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index — Determining the Instrument Amount on a DBLCI Rebalancing Day” in the accompanying underlying supplement No. 2.

• THE CORRELATION AMONG THE INDEX CONSTITUENTS COULD CHANGE UNPREDICTABLY — Correlation is the extent to which the values of the Index Constituents increase or decrease to the same degree at the same time. If the correlation among the Index Constituents changes, the value of the BUyS may be adversely affected.

• THE RETURN ON YOUR INVESTMENT COULD BE SIGNIFICANTLY LESS THAN THE PERFORMANCE OF ANY INDIVIDUAL INDEX CONSTITUENT — The return on your investment in the BUyS could be less than the return on an alternative investment with similar risk characteristics, even if some of the Index Constituents have generated significant returns. The levels of the Index Constituents also may move in different directions at different times compared to each other, and underperformance by one or more of the Index Constituents will reduce the performance of the Index as a whole.

• RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE INDEX MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT THE MARKET PRICE OF THE BUYS — Because the BUyS are linked to the Index which reflects the return on futures contracts on six different exchange-traded physical commodities, it will be less diversified than other indices or investment portfolios investing in a broader range of products and, therefore, could experience greater volatility.

• ASSUMING NO CHANGES IN MARKET CONDITIONS OR ANY OTHER RELEVANT FACTORS, THE MARKET VALUE OF THE BUYS ON THE SETTLEMENT DATE (AS DETERMINED BY DEUTSCHE BANK AG) WILL BE LESS THAN THE ORIGINAL ISSUE PRICE – While the payment at maturity described in this term sheet is based on the full Face Amount of your BUyS, the original Issue Price of the BUyS includes the agents’ commission and the cost of hedging our obligations under the BUyS through one or more of our affiliates.  Therefore, the market value of the BUyS on the Settlement Date, assuming no changes in market conditions or other relevant factors, will be less than the original Issue Price.  The inclusion of commissions and hedging costs in the original Issue Price will also decrease the price, if any, at which we will be willing to purchase the BUyS after the Settlement Date, and any sale on the secondary market could result in a substantial loss to you. Our hedging costs include the projected profit that we or our affiliates are expected to realize in consideration for assuming the risks inherent in managing the hedging transactions.  The BUyS are not designed to be short-term trading instruments.  Accordingly, you should be willing and able to hold your BUyS to maturity.

• THE BUYS WILL NOT BE LISTED AND THERE WILL LIKELY BE LIMITED LIQUIDITY – The BUyS will not be listed on any securities exchange. Deutsche Bank AG or its affiliates intend to offer to purchase the BUyS in the secondary market but are not required to do so and may cease such market-making activities at any time. Even if there is a secondary market, it may not provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade or sell the BUyS easily. Because other dealers are not likely to make a secondary market for the BUyS, the price at which you may be able to trade your BUyS is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which Deutsche Bank AG or its affiliates are willing to buy 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. ANY SUCH RESEARCH, OPINIONS OR RECOMMENDATIONS COULD AFFECT THE LEVEL OF THE INDEX TO WHICH THE BUYS ARE LINKED OR THE MARKET VALUE OF THE BUYS – Deutsche Bank AG, its affiliates and agents publish research from time to time on financial markets and other matters that may influence the value of the BUyS, or express opinions or provide recommendations that are inconsistent with purchasing or holding the BUyS. Deutsche Bank AG, its affiliates and agents may have

TS-5

published research or other opinions that are inconsistent with the investment view implicit in the BUyS. Any research, opinions or recommendations expressed by Deutsche Bank AG, its affiliates or agents may not be consistent with each other and may be modified from time to time without notice. Investors should make their own independent investigation of the merits of investing in the BUyS and the Index to which the BUyS are linked.

• POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST EXIST BECAUSE THE ISSUER OF THE BUYS, THE CALCULATION AGENT FOR THE BUYS, THE SPONSOR OF THE INDEX AND THE CALCULATION AGENT FOR THE INDEX ARE THE SAME LEGAL ENTITY — Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch is the Issuer of the BUyS, the calculation agent for the BUyS, the sponsor of the Index (the “Sponsor”) and the calculation agent for the Index. We, as calculation agent for the BUyS, will determine whether there has been a Market Disruption Event with respect to the Index, Exchange Traded Instrument or Index Constituent (each as defined below). In the event of any such Market Disruption Event, we may use an alternate method to calculate the Index closing level, including the Index Initial Level and the Index Final Level. As the Sponsor, we carry out calculations necessary to promulgate the Index, and we maintain some discretion as to how such calculations are made. In particular, the Sponsor has discretion in selecting among methods of how to calculate the Index in the event the regular means of determining the Index is unavailable at the time such determination is scheduled to take place, and the Sponsor has even more discretion in the case of a Force Majeure Event relating to the Index. While Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch will act in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner in making all determinations with respect to the BUyS and the Index, there can be no assurance that any determinations made by Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch in these various capacities will not affect the value of the BUyS or the Index. Thus potential conflicts of interest may exist between Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch and you, as a holder of the BUyS.

Furthermore, Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch or one or more of its affiliates may have published, and may in the future publish, research reports on the Index Constituents (or various contracts or products related to the Index Constituents) or related indices. This research is modified from time to time without notice and may express opinions or provide recommendations that are inconsistent with purchasing or holding the BUyS. Any of these activities may affect the value of the Index and, therefore, the value of the BUyS or the potential payout on the BUyS.

• LEGAL AND REGULATORY CHANGES COULD IMPAIR THE VALUES OF THE UNDERLYING COMMODITIES — Legal and regulatory changes could adversely affect commodity prices. In addition, many governmental agencies and regulatory organizations are authorized to take extraordinary actions in the event of market emergencies. The effect of any future legal or regulatory action relating to commodities is not possible to predict, but any such action could cause unexpected volatility and instability in commodity markets with a substantial and adverse effect on the performance of the Index and, consequently, the value of the BUyS.

• THE VALUE OF THE BUYS WILL BE AFFECTED BY A NUMBER OF UNPREDICTABLE FACTORS — The value of the BUyS will be affected by the supply of and demand for the BUyS and other factors, many of which are independent of our financial condition and results of operations, including:

• the level of the Index;

• geopolitical conditions and economic, financial, political, regulatory and judicial events that affect the Index Constituents or commodities markets generally;

• the interest rates then prevailing in the market;

• the time remaining to maturity of the BUyS;

• the volatility of each Index Constituent;

• the combined volatility of the Index Constituents as reflected in the volatility and expected volatility of the Index; and

• our creditworthiness, including actual or anticipated downgrades in our credit ratings.

• COMMODITY PRICES MAY CHANGE UNPREDICTABLY — Market prices of the Index Constituents may fluctuate rapidly based on numerous factors, including changes in supply and demand relationships, weather, trends in agriculture and trade, fiscal, monetary and exchange control programs, domestic and foreign political and economic events and policies, disease, pestilence, technological developments and changes in interest rates. These factors may affect the values of the related contracts reflected in the Index and the value of your BUyS in varying ways, and different factors may cause the values of the Index Constituents and the volatility of their prices to move in inconsistent directions at inconsistent rates.

• THE ABSENCE OF BACKWARDATION OR PRESENCE OF CONTANGO IN THE MARKETS FOR FUTURES CONTRACTS INCLUDED IN THE INDEX WILL ADVERSELY AFFECT THE LEVEL OF THE INDEX — As the futures contracts that underlie the Index near expiration, they are replaced by contracts that have a later expiration. Thus, for example, a contract purchased and held in November 2009 may specify a November 2010 expiration. As that contract nears expiration, it may be replaced by selling the November 2010 contract and purchasing the contract expiring in March 2011. This process is referred to as “rolling.” If the market for these contracts is (putting aside other considerations) in “backwardation,” where the prices are lower in the distant delivery months than in the nearer delivery months, the sale of the November 2010 contract would take place at a price higher than the price at which the November 2010 contract was purchased, thereby creating a “roll yield”. While some of the contracts included in the Index have historically exhibited consistent periods of backwardation, backwardation will most likely not exist at all times. Moreover, certain of the commodities included in the Index have historically traded in “contango” markets. Contango markets are those in which the prices of contracts are higher in the distant delivery months than in the nearer delivery months. The absence of backwardation in the commodity markets could result in negative “roll yields,” which could adversely affect the value of the Index and, accordingly, decrease the value of your BUyS.

• THE LONDON METAL EXCHANGE DOES NOT HAVE DAILY PRICE LIMITS — The official cash offer prices of aluminum are determined by reference to the per unit U.S. dollar cash offer prices of contracts traded on the London Metal Exchange, which we refer to as the LME. The LME is a principals’ market which operates in a manner more closely analogous to the over-the-counter physical commodity markets than regulated futures markets. For example, there are no daily price limits on the LME, which would otherwise restrict the extent of daily fluctuations in the prices of LME contracts. In a declining market, therefore, it is possible that prices would continue to decline without limitation within an Exchange Trading Day (as defined below) or over a period of Exchange Trading Days. In addition, a contract may be entered into on the LME calling for delivery on any day from one day to three months following the date of such contract and for monthly delivery in any of the next 16 to 24 months (depending on the commodity) following such third month, in contrast to trading on futures exchanges, which call for delivery in stated delivery months. As a result, there may be a greater risk of a concentration of positions in LME contracts on particular delivery dates, which in turn could cause temporary aberrations in the prices of LME contracts for certain delivery dates. If such aberrations occur on the Final Valuation Date the per unit U.S. dollar cash offer prices used to determine the official cash offer price of aluminum and consequently the payment at maturity, could be adversely affected.

• THE MARKETS FOR THE UNDERLYING COMMODITIES SUFFER FROM SYSTEMIC RISKS —Changes in supply and demand can have significant adverse effects on the prices of commodities. In addition, commodities tend to be exposed to the risk of fluctuations in currency exchange rates, volatility from speculative activities and the risk that substitutes for the commodities in their common uses will become more widely available or comparatively less expensive. Corn and wheat prices are often heavily affected by weather, crop yields, natural disasters, pestilence and technological developments, as well as government policies regarding agriculture, energy, trade, fiscal and monetary issues, particularly with regard to subsidies and tariffs. In addition, there are many risks specific to the individual underlying commodities.

•     Corn: Corn is primarily used as a livestock feed but is also processed into food and industrial products, including starches, sweeteners, corn oil, beverage and industrial alcohol, and fuel ethanol. Demand for corn is influenced by a variety of factors including the level of global livestock production, the level of human consumption of corn and corn-derived products and, in the case of demand for production into ethanol, demand for corn as the basis for ethanol. The supply of corn is dominated by the United States, China, Central and South America and the European Union.

• Wheat: Global supply of, and demand for, wheat are generally driven by global grain production, population growth and economic activity. Alternative uses for grains such as energy sources or in manufacturing also drive the prices for grains.

• Aluminum: Changes in the levels of global industrial activity and adjustments to inventory in response to changes in economic activity and/or pricing levels can cause a great deal of volatility in the demand for the aluminum. The automobile, packaging and construction sectors are particularly important to the demand for aluminum. The supply of aluminum is widely spread around the world, and the principal factor dictating the smelting of such aluminum is the ready availability of inexpensive power. The supply of aluminum is also affected by current and previous price levels, which will influence investment decisions in new smelters. Other factors influencing supply include droughts, transportation problems and shortages of power and raw materials.

• Crude Oil: Demand for refined petroleum products by consumers, as well as the agricultural, manufacturing and transportation industries, affects the price of crude oil. Crude oil’s end-use as a refined product is often as transport fuel, industrial fuel and in-home heating fuel. Because the precursors of demand for petroleum products are linked to economic activity, demand will tend to reflect economic conditions. Demand is also

TS-7

influenced by government regulations, such as environmental or consumption policies. In addition to general economic activity and demand, prices for crude oil are affected by political events, labor activity and, in particular, direct government intervention (such as embargoes) or supply disruptions in major oil producing regions of the world. Such events tend to affect oil prices worldwide, regardless of the location of the event. Supply for crude oil may increase or decrease depending on many factors. These include production decisions by the Organization of Oil and Petroleum Exporting Countries and other crude oil producers. In the event of sudden disruptions in the supplies of oil, such as those caused by war, natural events, accidents or acts of terrorism, prices of oil futures contracts could become extremely volatile and unpredictable. Also, sudden and dramatic changes in the futures market may occur, for example, upon a cessation of hostilities that may exist in countries producing oil, the introduction of new or previously withheld supplies into the market or the introduction of substitute products or commodities. West Texas Intermediate light sweet crude oil is also subject to the risk that it has demonstrated a lack of correlation with world crude oil prices due to structural differences between the U.S. market for crude oil and the international market for crude oil. We can give no assurance that the settlement price will not be more volatile than world crude oil prices generally.

• Heating Oil: Demand for heating oil depends heavily on the level of global industrial activity and the seasonal temperatures in countries throughout the world. Heating oil is derived from crude oil and as such, any factors that influence the supply of crude oil may also influence the supply of heating oil.

• Gold: Gold prices are affected by numerous factors, including the relative strength of the U.S. dollar (in which gold prices are generally quoted) to other currencies, industrial and jewelry demand, expectations with regard to the rate of inflation, interest rates and transactions by central banks and other governmental or multinational agencies that hold gold. The market for gold bullion is global, and gold prices are affected by macroeconomic factors such as the structure of and confidence in the global monetary system and gold borrowing and lending rates.

• THE COMMODITY PRICES REFLECTED IN THE INDEX ARE SUBJECT TO EMERGING MARKETS’ POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC RISKS — The Index Constituents may be produced in emerging market countries which are more exposed to the risk of swift political change and economic downturns than their industrialized counterparts. Indeed, in recent years, many emerging market countries have undergone significant political, economic and social change. In many cases, far-reaching political changes have resulted in constitutional and social tensions, and, in some cases, instability and reaction against market reforms has occurred. There can be no assurance that future political changes will not adversely affect the economic conditions of an emerging market country. Political or economic instability are likely to adversely impact the level of the Index and, consequently, the return on your investment.

• IF THE LIQUIDITY OF THE INDEX CONSTITUENTS IS LIMITED, THE VALUE OF THE BUYS WOULD LIKELY BE IMPAIRED — Commodities and derivatives contracts on commodities may be difficult to buy or sell, particularly during adverse market conditions. Reduced liquidity on the Final Valuation Date would likely have an adverse effect on the closing level of the Index and, therefore, on the return on your BUyS. Limited liquidity relating to the Index Constituents may also result in the Sponsor being unable to determine the level of the Index using its normal means.

• SUSPENSION OR DISRUPTIONS OF MARKET TRADING IN THE COMMODITY AND RELATED FUTURES MARKETS MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT THE VALUE OF THE BUYS — The commodity markets are subject to temporary distortions or other disruptions due to various factors, including the lack of liquidity in the markets, the participation of speculators and government regulation and intervention. In addition, U.S. futures exchanges and some foreign exchanges have regulations that limit the amount of fluctuation in futures contract prices that may occur during a single business day. These limits are generally referred to as “daily price fluctuation limits” and the maximum or minimum price of a contract on any given day as a result of these limits is referred to as a “limit price.” Once the limit price has been reached in a particular contract, no trades may be made at a different price. Limit prices have the effect of precluding trading in a particular contract or forcing the liquidation of contracts at disadvantageous times or prices. These circumstances could adversely affect the level of the Index and, therefore, the value of your BUyS.

• TRADING BY US OR OUR AFFILIATES IN THE COMMODITIES MARKETS MAY IMPAIR THE VALUE OF THE BUYS — We and our affiliates are active participants in the commodities markets as dealers, proprietary traders and agents for our customers, and therefore at any given time we may be a party to one or more commodities transactions. In addition, we or one or more of our affiliates may hedge our commodity exposure from the BUyS by entering into various transactions. We may adjust these hedges at any time and from time to time. Our trading and hedging activities may have a material adverse effect on the commodities prices and consequently have a negative impact on the performance of the Index including on the Final Valuation Date, which would affect your payment at maturity. It is possible that we or our affiliates could receive significant returns from these hedging activities while the value of or amounts payable under the BUyS may decline.

• THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF AN INVESTMENT IN THE BUYS ARE UNCLEAR—There is no direct legal authority regarding the proper U.S. federal income tax treatment of the BUyS, and we do not plan to request a ruling from the IRS. Consequently, significant aspects of the tax treatment of the BUyS are uncertain, and the IRS or a court might not agree with the treatment of the BUyS as prepaid financial contracts. If the IRS were successful in asserting an alternative treatment for the BUyS, the tax consequences of ownership and disposition of the BUyS might be affected materially and adversely. In addition, as described above under “Tax Consequences,” in December 2007, Treasury and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on various issues regarding the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar instruments, such as the BUyS. Any Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment in the BUyS, possibly with retroactive effect. Both U.S. and non-U.S. holders should review carefully the section of the accompanying product supplement entitled “U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences,” and consult their tax advisers regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the BUyS (including possible alternative treatments and the issues presented by this notice), as well as tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing jurisdiction.

The BUyS may be suitable for you if:

• You seek an investment with a return linked to the performance of the Index;

• You are willing to invest in the BUyS based on the Participation Rate, indicated Index Return Cap (the actual Index Return Cap will be set on the Trade Date) and Buffer Level;

• You are willing to lose up to 90.00% of your initial investment;

• You are willing and able to hold the BUyS to maturity;

• You are willing to accept our credit risk; and

• You do not seek current income from this investment.

The BUyS may not be suitable for you if:

• You do not seek an investment with exposure to the Index;

• You are unwilling or unable to hold the BUyS to maturity;

• You seek an investment that is protected against the loss of your initial investment beyond the Buffer Level;

• You are not willing to be exposed to our credit risk;

• You seek current income from your investments; or

• You seek an investment for which there will be an active secondary market.
