(1) Index history is for illustrative purposes only and does not represent
actual PowerShares DB Crude Oil ETN performance. The inception date of the
Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index -- Oil is Jan. 12, 2004. The inception
date of the Index's Optimum Yield version is May 24, 2006. Index history is
based on a combination of the monthly returns from the relevant Commodity Index
(as defined below) 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 Crude Oil ETNs, less the investor fee. Index history for the
Long ETN is based on the Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index -- Optimum Yield
Crude Oil(tm), and index history for the Short and Double Short ETNs is based on
the standard version of the Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index -- Light
Crude(tm) (the "Commodity Indexes"). The Commodity Indexes are intended to
reflect changes in the market value of certain crude oil futures contracts. The
T-Bill Index is intended to approximate 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 Crude Oil

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(tm), 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(tm) 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 influenced 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.
