Crude Oil[], and index history for the Short and Double Short ETNs is based on
the standard version of the Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index -- Light

ect changes in the market value of certain crude oil futures contracts. The

What are the PowerShares DB Crude Oil ETNs?
The PowerShares DB Crude Oil ETNs are senior unsecured obligations issued by
Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch that are linked to a total return version of a
Deutsche Bank crude oil index. The Long ETN is linked to the Deutsche Bank
Liquid Commodity Index -- Optimum Yield Crude Oil[], and the Short and Double
Short ETNs are linked to the standard version of the Deutsche Bank Liquid
Commodity Index. Both indexes are designed to reflect the performance of
certain crude oil futures contracts. The Optimum Yield[] version of the index
attempts to minimize the negative effects of contango and maximize the positive
effects of backwardation by applying flexible roll rules to pick a new futures
contract when a contract expires. The standard version of the index, which does
not attempt to minimize the negative effects of contango and maximize the
positive effects of backwardation, uses static roll rules that dictate that an
expiring futures contract must be replaced with a contract having a predefined
expiration date.

Investors can buy and sell the PowerShares DB Crude Oil ETNs at market price on
the NYSE Arca exchange or receive a cash payment at the scheduled maturity or
early redemption based on the performance of the index less investor fees.
Investors may redeem the PowerShares DB Crude Oil ETNs in blocks of no less
than 200,000 securities and integral multiples of 50,000 securities thereafter,
subject to the procedures described in the pricing supplement, which may
include a fee of up to $0.03 per security.

The PowerShares DB Crude Oil ETNs are not suitable for all investors and should
be utilized only by sophisticated investors who understand leverage risk and
the consequences of seeking monthly leveraged investment results, and who
intend to actively monitor and manage their investments. Investing in the ETNs
is not equivalent to a direct investment in the index or index components
because the current principal amount (the amount you invested) is reset each
month, resulting in the compounding of monthly returns. The principal amount is
also subject to the investor fee, which can adversely affect returns. The
amount you receive at maturity (or upon an earlier repurchase) will be
contingent upon each monthly performance of the index during the term of the
securities. There is no guarantee that you will receive at maturity, or upon an
earlier repurchase, your initial investment back or any return on that
investment. Significant adverse monthly performances for your securities may
not be offset by any beneficial monthly performances.
The PowerShares DB Crude Oil ETNs are senior unsecured obligations of Deutsche
Bank AG, London Branch, and the amount due on the PowerShares DB Crude Oil ETNs
is entirely dependent on Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch's ability to pay. The
PowerShares

DB Crude Oil ETNs are riskier than ordinary unsecured debt securities and have
no principal protection. Risks of investing in the PowerShares DB Crude Oil
ETNs include limited portfolio diversification, uncertain principal repayment,
trade price fluctuations, illiquidity and leveraged losses. Investing in the
PowerShares DB Crude Oil 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 Crude Oil ETNs
even if the value of the relevant index has increased. If at any time the
redemption value of the PowerShares DB Crude Oil ETNs is zero, your investment
will expire worthless. Deutsche Bank may accelerate the PowerShares DB Crude
Oil ETNs upon a regulatory event affecting the ability to hedge the PowerShares
DB Crude Oil ETNs.
The PowerShares DB Crude Oil ETNs may be sold throughout the day on NYSE Arca
through any brokerage account. There are restrictions on the minimum number of
PowerShares DB Crude Oil ETNs that you may redeem directly with Deutsche Bank
AG, London Branch, as specified in the applicable pricing supplement. Ordinary
brokerage commissions apply, and there are tax consequences in the event of
sale, redemption or maturity of the PowerShares DB Crude Oil ETNs. Sales in the
secondary market may result in losses.
The PowerShares DB Crude Oil ETNs are concentrated in crude oil futures
contracts. The market value of the PowerShares DB Crude Oil ETNs may be in[]
uenced by many unpredictable

factors, including, among other things, volatile oil prices, changes in supply
and demand relationships, changes in interest rates, and monetary and other
governmental actions. The PowerShares DB Crude Oil 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 Crude Oil Double Short ETN is a leveraged investment. As
such, it is 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.
