3-Year Market Contribution Securities (MCS) linked to the Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index – Mean ReversionTM Total Return

Investment Rationale & Positioning Description & Return Profile

■    Commodities is not a homogenous asset class and comprises of four distinct sectors that have their unique fundamentals and follow their own business cycles that is uncorrelated to other commodity sectors. ■    The Index employs a relative value trading strategy to extract superior returns from the commodities markets. ■    The Strategy allocates weight to 6 commodities using a non discretionary, rule based formula aimed at assigning higher weight to cheap commodities and lower weight to expensive commodities. The Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index – Mean ReversionTM (DBLCI-MR) Total Return MCS offer clients: ■    A vehicle for expressing a moderately bullish view on the commodity markets, specifically the DBLCI-MRTM Total Return, over the next 3 years. ■    Full Participation in the upside and downside performance of the DBLCI-MRTM Total Return, reduced by an Adjustment Factor of 2.00% each year the securities remain outstanding (applied at Maturity or upon Early Redemption). ■    Best-Case Scenario: Participation in any positive index return, net of the Adjustment Factor. The redemption amount of the MCS is uncapped if the Mean Reversion Index increases in value. ■    Worst-Case Scenario: Full downside risk; if the Mean Reversion Index falls below its initial closing level, investors will participate dollar-for-dollar on the downside, in addition to the deduction of the Adjustment Factor.

Underlying

The DBLCI-MRTM Total Return Index is composed of futures contracts on six commodities – crude oil, heating oil, aluminum, gold, wheat and corn.

■    Captures returns from two sources: spot return and roll yield.

■    Broad exposure to commodities as an asset class.

■    Frees the investor from the mechanics of futures trading (e.g., contract rolling and physical delivery).

■    Applies a mean reversion adjustment which reduces the weighting of expensive commodities while increasing the weighting of cheap commodities, according to a rule based mechanism.

The weighting of each commodity in the Underlying Index depends on the deviation of the commodity’s price from its long-term average. If the short-term moving average of a commodity rises significantly above its long-term moving average, the weighting of such commodity in the Underlying Index will be reduced and vice versa. DBLCI-Mean Reversion is described in more detail in underlying supplement no. 2 (http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1159508/000119312509200288/d424b21.pdf).

DBLCI-MR Allocation History	DBLCI-MRTM Total Return Index

Risks Risks (continued)

■    The securities are not principal protected, and therefore, investors may lose part or all of their initial investment. ■    The inclusion of an Adjustment Factor reduces the payment at Maturity or upon Early Redemption. ■    The DBLCI-MRTM Total Return Index has limited performance history. Publication of the DBLCI-MRTM Total Return Index began in February 2003 and historical or retrospectively-calculated performance of the DBLCI-MRTM Total Return Index should not be relied on to predict future performance. ■    Market prices of the commodities comprising the Index may fluctuate rapidly based on numerous factors, including but not limited to, 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 therefore the value of your securities in varying ways ■    A commodity hedging disruption event could result in the early acceleration of the securities. We have the right (but not the obligation) to repurchase the securities prior to maturity if legal or regulatory restrictions prevent us from heding our obligations under the securities. ■    An investment in the securities is subject to the credit of the Issuer. ■    The payout on the securities is linked to the value of the DBLCI-MRTM Total Return Index on a specific valuation date.  Therefore, a temporary decline in value around the date of Maturity or Early Redemption could greatly affect the holder's return. ■    A liquid secondary market for the securities is not guaranteed and may be limited. The issuer may, but is not obligated to, purchase securities in the open market by tender or private agreement. ■    Potential conflicts of interest exist because the issuer, the calculation agent for the securities and the sponsor of the DBLCI-MRTM Total Return Index and some of its components are the same legal entity. ■    For further risk considerations, please refer to accompanying term sheet no. 859R, underlying supplement no. 2, product supplement R including, the section entitled “Risk Factors,” the prospectus supplement, and the prospectus. ■    Significant aspects of the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the securities are uncertain, and the Internal Revenue Service, or a court might not accept the tax consequences described in the accompanying term sheet no. 859R.
