ABOUT ETNS

What are exchange-traded notes (ETNs)?
An ETN is an unsecured obligation of the issuer that is linked to the
performance of an index.

How are ETNs bought and sold?
Investors can buy ETNs at market prices on an exchange. They can then sell the
ETNs on the exchange, hold them until maturity, subject to issuer call rights,
and receive a cash payment or redeem them early and receive a cash payment.
Early redemption may be subject to certain restrictions and a redemption fee.
Payments are based on index performance minus investor fees.

The PowerShares DB ETNs are not suitable for all investors and should be
utilized only by sophisticated investors who understand leverage risk,
consequences of seeking monthly leveraged investment results and 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 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.
