ELVIS (TM) Index Construction How ELVIS works -- The index is long exposure to future S and P 500 volatility -- The strategy is implemented via notional volatility derivatives (6-month variance swaps forward-starting in 3 months) which are rolled at each quarterly listed option expiry as they become spot (current-starting) variance swaps -- The strategy's performance during a given quarterly roll period depends on changes in S and P 500 implied volatility: an increase in implied volatility should lead to index gains; a decrease in implied volatility should lead to index losses -- The index re-calibrates notional every roll-date to target consistent volatility exposure: less exposure in a high- volatility environment; more exposure in a low-volatility environment -- Entry and exit variance swap levels are derived from S and P 500 listed option market prices using established market methodology for pricing variance swaps -- Because the variance swap strike levels are based on mid- market option prices, they do not take into account the transaction costs (bid-offer spreads) that would be associated with trading variance swaps. To account for this, a cost equivalent to 1.5% of the 9 month spot variance swap strike level is deducted from the index over each roll period (see Appendix III for more detail) Why forward -starting -- By rolling the position before the notional variance swaps start recording observations, ELVIS avoids exposure to S and P 500 volatility actually realized by the index -- Instead, ELVIS delivers exposure to changes in S and P 500 implied volatility -- By removing exposure to realized volatility, ELVIS aims to avoid paying a volatility "risk premium," which option sellers usually demand from option buyers. The volatility risk premium has manifested itself through a spread between implied volatility and volatility subsequently realized by the S and P 500 page 5

ELVIS (TM) Index Construction How ELVIS works, an illustration -- Upon the December listed option expiry, the index "buys" a forward variance swap which measures variance over a 6 month period starting 3 months from December (March-September) -- Upon the March listed option expiry, the index "sells" the March-September variance swap it holds before it starts measuring realized variance and(TM) -- ... "buys" a new forward variance swap measuring variance over a 6 month period starting 3 months from March (June-December) -- This process is repeated upon each quarterly option expiry [GRAPHIC OMITTED] How this impacts ELVIS -- The value of the forward variance swap upon initial execution is based on the market's expectation of S and P volatility in 3 months -- When unwound, the value of the variance swap (now spot starting) is based on the market's current expectation of S and P volatility -- The change in the market's expectation of volatility (implied volatility) over the roll period leads to a gain or loss on the notional variance swap position and an increase or decrease in the index -- During a roll period an increase in implied volatility will lead to an increase in the index -- During a roll period a decrease in implied volatility will lead to a decrease in the index

ELVIS (TM) Comparison to Other Hedging Strategies [GRAPHIC OMITTED] Which implied volatility to trade -- ELVIS systematically invests in future volatility over a medium-term horizon -- A medium-term strategy may have worked better than either a very short-term or a very long-term strategy across different market regimes -- A very short-term strategy (e.g., 1-month variance swaps forward-starting in 1 months) can be highly sensitive to spikes in implied volatility but also costly to carry when markets are calm (this would be similar to rolling front month VIX futures) -- A very long-term strategy (e.g., 9-month variance swaps forward-starting in 9 months) can be relatively cheap to carry but may not react to spikes in implied volatility enough "ELVIS 9mx9m" represents a hypothetical version of ELVIS constructed using 9-month forward 9-month variance swaps.

Index Description - The Deutsche Bank Equity Long Volatility Investment Strategy ("ELVIS" and the "Index") tracks the performance of a long position in a 3-month ("3M") forward 6-month ("6M") variance swap on the S and P 500 Index. The Index was created by Deutsche Bank AG, the Index Sponsor, on December 9, 2009 and is calculated, maintained and published by the Index Sponsor. The closing level of ELVIS was set to 100 on March 16, 1990 (the "Index Base Date"). ELVIS is denominated in U.S. dollars. - Investment Strategy and Index Construction - Investment Strategy - ELVIS is a strategy that aims to capture and monetize the movements of equity market implied volatility through a long position in 3M-forward 6M variance swaps on the S and P 500 Index. A forward variance swap obligates its holder to enter into a spot (or current starting) variance swap at a later date at a pre-specified variance swap strike price. A 3M-forward 6M variance swap is a variance swap starting in 3 months and lasting for 6 months. Forward variance swaps are used to take a view on future movements of implied volatility. When sold or unwound prior to the variance swap start date, the gain or loss on the forward variance swap will only relate to changes in implied volatility and not to any realized volatility of the underlying, which would otherwise be measured during the life of the variance swap. - Volatility is a statistical measure of the amount of movement of the price of an asset over a period of time and is the market standard for expressing the riskiness of an asset. Volatility is generally calculated based on the natural log return of an asset between each observation. Implied volatility is a market estimate of the volatility an asset will realize over a future period of time. Implied volatility is determined from the market prices of listed options on the asset. - Variance is the square of volatility and is used in certain products in the over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives market in place of volatility due to mathematical properties that make it more convenient for financial institutions to value and hedge those products. ELVIS primarily uses variance in its calculations for this reason, but uses and refers to volatility as a standard reference measure consistent with market practice. page 10

Index Description - Index Construction - ELVIS tracks the performance of a notional investment in 3M-forward 6M variance swaps on the S and P 500 Index. Since variance is additive in time (i. e. a 6-month variance swap is equivalent to two consecutive 3-month variance swaps), the 3M-forward 6M variance swap strike is calculated as the time-weighted difference between the strikes of the 9-month ("9M") and 3M variance swaps. The 3M-forward 6M variance swap can therefore be replicated by a portfolio holding a roughly 1/2 short position in 3M spot variance swap and a roughly 3/2 long position in 9M spot variance swap. The expiry dates of the 3M and 9M spot variance swaps in the replicating portfolio are the same as the 3M-forward 6M variance swap start date and end date, respectively. - The variance swap strikes for the 3M and 9M spot variance swaps are calculated from mid-market prices of all available S and P 500[R] listed out-of-the-money options with both bid and ask prices greater than $0.20 with the same expiry. Because the variance swap strike levels are based on mid-market prices, they do not take into account transaction costs (bid-offer spreads) that would be associated with trading variance swaps. To account for this, the strike of the prevailing 9M spot variance swap in the replicating portfolio is raised to 101.5% of the fair level. This implies an increase on the 3M-forward 6M variance swap strike, which will be deducted from the index level as a running cost over the period to the next rebalancing day. - The Index rebalances on March, June, September and December option expiry days, i. e. the 3rd Friday of the relevant month if it is a business day, otherwise the previous business day. On each rebalancing day, the forward variance swap becomes a spot variance swap. However, the now-6M spot variance swap is unwound and a new 3M-forward 6M variance swap is entered into. The swap start date of the new contract is the 3rd Friday of the 3rd month after the rebalancing date. The swap end date of the new contract is the 3rd Friday of the 9th month after the rebalancing date. If either of these two Fridays is a holiday, the previous business day is used instead. - On each rebalancing day, the forward variance swap notional is calculated so that it is proportional to the prevailing index level and inversely proportional to the prevailing 3M-forward 6M variance swap level. - On each index calculation day, the change in the index level is calculated as the difference between the prevailing forward variance swap level and the strike variance level set on the previous rebalancing day, reduced by the daily running cost described above. - ELVIS index calculates on all weekdays that are not US equity market holidays. page 11

Index Costs - Because the variance swap strike levels used in the calculation of ELVIS are based on mid-market option prices, they do not take into account the transaction costs (bid-offer spreads) that would be associated with trading, or hedging, variance swaps. To account for this, a cost equivalent to 1.5% of the 9-month spot variance strike level is deducted from the index over each roll period. - The forward variance strike level for the 3-month forward 6-month variance swap is determined based on variance strike levels of the 3-month and 9-month spot variance swaps (Note: all variance swap strike levels are quoted in volatility points, not variance) . These variance strike levels are "time-weighted" as follows to determine the forward variance strike level: 9m x T2 / (T2 -- T1) -- 3m x T1 / (T2 -- T1), where "9m" is the 9-month spot variance strike; "3m" is the 3-month spot variance strike; "T1" is the time to maturity, in trading days, of the 3-month spot variance swap; and "T2" is the time to maturity, in trading days of the 9-month spot variance swap. - Based on this calculation, raising the 9-month spot variance strike level by 1.5% of the fair strike level is approximately equal to increasing the 3-month forward 6-month variance strike level by 2.25% of the fair strike level (the exact amount will depend of the number trading days in each period and the relative levels of the 3-month and 9-month spot variance strikes) . - As an example, if the forward variance strike is 20, the cost applied to the index over the quarterly roll period would be approximately 0.45 volatility points. Since each forward variance swap is both bought and sold, resulting in two transactions per roll period, the effective rolling cost in such a scenario is 0.225 volatility points per transaction. page 12

Risk Factors DEUTSCHE BANK AG, LONDON BRANCH, AS THE SPONSOR OF ELVIS, MAY ADJUST THE INDEX IN A WAY THAT AFFECTS ITS LEVEL AND MAY HAVE CONFLICTS OF INTEREST -- Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch is the sponsor of ELVIS (the "Index Sponsor") and will determine whether there has been a market disruption event with respect to ELVIS. In the event of any such market disruption event, the Index Sponsor may use an alternate method to calculate the closing level of ELVIS. The Index Sponsor carries out calculations necessary to promulgate ELVIS and maintains some discretion as to how such calculations are made. In particular, the Index Sponsor has discretion in selecting among methods of how to calculate ELVIS in the event the regular means of determining ELVIS are unavailable at the time a determination is scheduled to take place. There can be no assurance that any determination made by the Index Sponsor in these various capacities will not affect the level of ELVIS. Any of these actions could adversely affect the value of securities or options linked to ELVIS. The Index Sponsor has no obligation to consider the interests of holders of securities linked to ELVIS in calculating or revising ELVIS. 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 ELVIS or investment strategies reflected by ELVIS (or any transaction, product or security related to ELVIS or any components thereof) . This research is modified from time to time without notice and may express opinions or provide recommendations that are inconsistent with purchasing or holding of transactions, products or securities related to ELVIS. Any of these activities may affect ELVIS or transactions, products or securities related to ELVIS. Investors should make their own independent investigation of the merits of investing in contracts or products related to ELVIS. ELVIS HAS VERY LIMITED PERFORMANCE HISTORY -- Calculation of ELVIS began on December 9, 2009. Therefore, ELVIS has very limited performance history and no actual investment which allowed tracking of the performance of ELVIS was possible before that date. page 13
