(1) Index history is for illustrative purposes only and does not represent
actual PowerShares DB Commodity ETN performance. The inception date of the
Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index (DBLCI) 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
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 Commodity
ETNs, less the investor fee. Index history for the Long and Double Long ETNs is
based on the Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index -- Optimum Yield[TM], and
index history for the Short and Double Short Commodity ETNs is based on the
standard version of the Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index (collectively, the
"Commodity Indexes"). The Commodity Indexes are intended to reflect changes in
the market value of certain commodity futures contracts based on crude oil,
heating oil, corn, wheat, gold and aluminum. The T-Bill Index is intended to
approximate the 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 Commodity ETN

The PowerShares DB Commodity 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 Commodity ETNs are senior unsecured obligations of Deutsche
Bank AG, London Branch, and the amount due on the PowerShares DB Commodity ETNs
is dependent on Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch's ability to pay. The
PowerShares DB Commodity ETNs are riskier than ordinary unsecured debt
securities and have no principal protection. Risks of investing in the
PowerShares DB Commodity ETNs include limited portfolio diversification,
uncertain principal repayment, trade price fluctuations, illiquidity and
leveraged losses. Investing in the PowerShares DB Commodity 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 Commodity ETNs even if the value of the relevant index has
increased. If at any time the redemption value of the PowerShares DB Commodity
ETNs is zero, your investment will expire worthless. The PowerShares DB
Commodity ETNs may be sold throughout the day on NYSE Arca through any brokerage
account. There are restrictions on the minimum number of PowerShares DB
Commodity 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 Commodity ETNs. Sales in the
secondary market may result in losses.

The PowerShares DB Commodity ETNs are concentrated in commodity futures
contracts. The market value of the PowerShares DB Commodity ETNs may be
influenced by many unpredictable factors, including, among other things,
volatile prices, changes in supply and demand relationships, changes in interest
rates, and monetary and other governmental actions.

The PowerShares DB Commodity Double Long ETN and PowerShares DB Commodity Double
Short ETN are both leveraged investments. As such, they are 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.
