This Note will bear interest at the rate determined in accordance with the applicable provisions below by reference to the Base Rate shown on the face hereof based on the Index Maturity, if any, shown on the face hereof (i) plus or minus the Spread, if any, and/or (ii) multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any, specified on the face hereof. Commencing with the Initial Interest Reset Date specified on the face hereof, the rate at which interest on this Note is payable shall be reset as of each Interest Reset Date specified on the face hereof (as used herein, the term “Interest Reset Date” shall include the Initial Interest Reset Date). The determination of the rate of interest at which this Note will be reset on any Interest Reset Date shall be made on the Interest Determination Date (as defined below) pertaining to such Interest Reset Dates; provided, however, that the interest rate in effect for the period from the Interest Accrual Date to the Initial Interest Reset Date will be the Initial Interest Rate. If any Interest Reset Date would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Reset Date shall be postponed to the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, except that if the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is LIBOR or EURIBOR and such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Reset Date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day.

The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to the Treasury Rate shall be the day of the week in which such Interest Reset Date falls on which Treasury bills normally would be auctioned. Treasury Bills are normally sold at auction on Monday of each week, unless that day is a legal holiday, in which case the auction is normally held on the following Tuesday, except that the auction may be held on the preceding Friday; provided, that if an auction is held on the Friday of the week preceding such Interest Reset Date, the Interest Determination Date shall be such preceding Friday; and provided, further, that if an auction shall fall on any Interest Reset Date, then the Interest Reset Date shall instead be the first Business Day following the date of such auction. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to two or more base rates will be the latest Business Day that is at least two Business Days before the Interest Reset Date for the applicable Note on which each base rate is determinable.

Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the “Calculation Date” pertaining to an Interest Determination Date will be the earlier of (i) the tenth calendar day after such Interest Determination Date or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, or (ii) the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date (or, with respect to any principal amount to be redeemed or repaid, any redemption or repayment date), as the case may be.

Determination of CD Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the “CD Rate,” for any Interest Determination Date, the CD Rate with respect to this Note shall be the rate on that date for negotiable U.S. dollar certificates of deposit having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in “Statistical Release H.15(519), Selected Interest Rates,” or any successor publication of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“H.15(519)”) under the heading “CDs (Secondary Market).”

The following procedures shall be followed if the CD Rate cannot be determined as described above:

(i) If the above rate is not published in H.15(519) by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date, the CD Rate shall be the rate on that Interest Determination Date set forth in the daily update of H.15(519), available through the world wide website of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System at http://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/h15/update/h15upd.htm, or any successor site or publication (“H.15 Daily Update”) for the Interest Determination Date for certificates of deposit having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, under the caption “CDs (Secondary Market).”

(ii) If the above rate is not yet published in either H.15(519) or the H.15 Daily Update by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date, the Calculation Agent shall determine the CD Rate to be the arithmetic mean of the secondary market offered rates as of 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on that Interest Determination Date of three leading nonbank dealers in negotiable U.S. dollar certificates of deposit in The City of New York, which may include the initial dealer and its affiliates, selected by the Calculation Agent (after consultation with the Issuer), for negotiable U.S. dollar certificates of deposit of major U.S. money center banks of the highest credit standing in the market for negotiable certificates of deposit with a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof in denominations of $5,000,000.

“Initial dealer” with respect to this Note means [either] [Name[s] of initial dealers][, as applicable].

(iii) If the dealers selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as set forth above, the CD Rate for that Interest Determination Date shall remain the CD Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

Determination of Commercial Paper Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the “Commercial Paper Rate,” for any Interest Determination Date, the Commercial Paper Rate with respect to this Note shall be the Money Market Yield (as defined herein), calculated as described below, of the rate on that date for commercial paper having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, as that rate is published in the H.15(519) Daily Update, under the heading “Commercial Paper — Nonfinancial.”

The following procedures shall be followed if the Commercial Paper Rate cannot be determined as described above:

(i) If the above rate is not published in H.15(519) by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date, then the Commercial Paper Rate shall be the Money Market Yield of the rate on that Interest Determination Date for commercial paper of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as published in the H.15 Daily Update under the heading “Commercial Paper — Non-financial,” or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate.

(ii) If by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on that Calculation Date the rate is not yet published in either H.15(519) or the H.15 Daily Update, then the Calculation Agent shall determine the Commercial Paper Rate to be the Money Market Yield of the arithmetic mean of the offered rates as of 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on that Interest Determination Date of three leading nonbank dealers of commercial paper in The City of New York, which may include the initial dealer and its affiliates, selected by the Calculation Agent (after consultation with the Issuer), for U.S. dollar commercial paper of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof for a nonfinancial issuer whose bond rating is “AA,” or the equivalent, from a nationally recognized rating agency.

(iii) If the dealers selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as set forth above, the Commercial Paper Rate for that Interest Determination Date shall remain the Commercial Paper Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

The “Money Market Yield” shall be a yield calculated in accordance with the following formula:

where “D” refers to the applicable per year rate for commercial paper quoted on a bank discount basis and expressed as a decimal and “M” refers to the actual number of days in the interest period for which interest is being calculated.

Determination of Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the “Eleventh district cost of funds rate notes,” for any Interest Determination Date, the Eleventh district costs of funds rate with respect to this Note will be based on the

eleventh district cost of funds rate and any spread and/or spread multiplier and will be subject to the minimum interest rate and the maximum interest rate, if any. The eleventh district cost of funds rate will be determined as of each interest determination date relating to an eleventh district cost of funds rate note and will be the rate equal to the monthly weighted average cost of funds for the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such interest determination date falls as set forth under the caption “11th District” on the display on the Moneyline Telerate service (or any successor service) on page 7058 (or any other page as may replace such page on such service), which we refer to as “Telerate page 7058” as of 11:00 A.M., San Francisco time, on such interest determination date.

The following procedures shall be followed if the rate cannot be determined as described above:

(i) If such rate does not appear on Telerate page 7058 on such interest determination date, then the eleventh district cost of funds rate on such interest determination date shall be the monthly weighted average cost of funds paid by member institutions of the Eleventh Federal Home Loan Bank District that was most recently announced (which we refer to as the “Eleventh District Index”) by the FHLB of San Francisco as such cost of funds for the calendar month immediately preceding such interest determination date.

(ii) If the FHLB of San Francisco fails to announce the Eleventh District Index on or prior to such interest determination date for the calendar month immediately preceding such interest determination date, the eleventh district cost of funds rate will remain the eleventh district cost of funds rate for the immediately preceding interest reset period, or, if there was no interest reset period, the rate of interest payable will be the initial interest rate.

The following procedures shall be followed if the rate cannot be determined as described above:

(i) If the above rate does not appear, or is not so published by 11:00 A.M., Brussels time, the Calculation Agent shall request the principal Euro-zone office of each of four major banks in the Euro-zone interbank market, as selected by the Calculation Agent (after consultation with the Issuer), to provide the Calculation Agent with its offered rate for deposits in euros, at approximately 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, on the Interest Determination Date, to prime banks in the Euro-zone interbank market for the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof commencing on the applicable Interest Reset Date, and in a principal amount not less than the equivalent of

U.S.$1 million in euro that is representative of a single transaction in euro in that market at that time. If at least two quotations are provided, EURIBOR shall be the arithmetic mean of those quotations.

(iv) If the banks so selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as set forth above, the LIBOR rate for that Interest Determination Date shall remain the LIBOR for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

The “Index Currency” means the currency specified on the face hereof as the currency for which LIBOR shall be calculated, or, if the euro is substituted for that currency, the Index Currency shall be the euro. If that currency is not specified on the face hereof, the Index Currency shall be U.S. dollars.

(ii) If the above rate is not published in either H.15(519) or the H.15 Daily Update by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date, then the Calculation Agent shall determine the Prime Rate to be the arithmetic mean of the rates of interest publicly announced by each bank that appears on the Reuters Screen USPRIME 1 Page, as defined below, as that bank’s Prime Rate or base lending rate as in effect for that Interest Determination Date.

(iii) If fewer than four rates appear on the Reuters Screen USPRIME 1 Page for that Interest Determination Date, the Calculation Agent shall determine the Prime Rate to be the arithmetic mean of the Prime Rates or base lending rates quoted on the basis of the actual number of days in the year divided by 360 as of the close of business on that Interest Determination Date by four major money center banks in The City of New York, which may include affiliates of the initial dealer, selected by the Calculation Agent (after consultation with the Issuer).

(iv) If fewer than four such quotations are so provided, the Calculation Agent shall determine the Prime Rate to be the arithmetic mean of four prime rates quoted on the basis of the actual number of days in the year divided by a 360-day year as of the close of business on that Interest Determination Date as furnished in The City of New York by the major money center banks, if any, that have provided such quotations and by a reasonable number of substitute banks or trust companies (which may include us or our affiliates), provided such substitute banks or trust companies are organized and doing business under the laws of the United States, or any State thereof, each having total equity capital of at least $500 million and being subject to supervision or examination by a Federal or state authority, selected by the Calculation Agent (after consultation with the Issuer) to provide such rate or rates.

(v) If the banks selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as set forth above, the Prime Rate for that Interest Determination Date shall remain the Prime Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

“Reuters Screen USPRIME 1 Page” means the display designated as page “USPRIME 1” on the Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service, or any successor service, or any other page as may replace the USPRIME 1 Page on that service for the purpose of displaying prime rates or base lending rates of major U.S. banks.

Determination of Treasury Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is “Treasury Rate,” the Treasury Rate with respect to this Note shall be

(i) the rate from the Auction held on the applicable Interest Determination Date (the “Auction”) of direct obligations of the United States (“Treasury Bills”) having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as that rate appears under the caption “INVESTMENT RATE” on the display on Moneyline Telerate, or any successor service, on page 56 or any other page as may replace page 56 on that service (“Telerate Page 56”) or page 57 or any other page as may replace page 57 on that service (“Telerate Page 57”); or

(ii) if the rate described in (i) above is not published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date, the Bond Equivalent Yield of the rate for the applicable Treasury Bills as published in the H.15 Daily Update, or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, under the caption “U.S. Government Securities/Treasury Bills/Auction High”; or

(iii) if the rate described in (ii) above is not published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the Bond Equivalent Yield of the Auction rate of the applicable Treasury Bills, announced by the United States Department of the Treasury; or

(iv) in the event that the Auction rate of Treasury Bills having the index maturity specified on the face hereof is not so announced by the United States Department of the Treasury, or if no such Auction is held, then the Treasury rate will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be the bond equivalent yield of the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid rates, as of approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date, of three primary United States government securities dealers (which may include us or our affiliates) selected by the Calculation Agent (after consultation with the Issuer), for the issue of Treasury Bills with a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified in the applicable pricing supplement; or

(v) if the dealers selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as described in (iv), the Treasury Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

The “Bond Equivalent Yield” means a yield calculated in accordance with the following formula and expressed as a percentage:

where “D” refers to the applicable per annum rate for Treasury Bills quoted on a bank discount basis, “N” refers to 365 or 366, as the case may be, and “M” refers to the actual number of days in the interest period for which interest is being calculated.

Determination of CMT Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the “CMT Rate,” for any Interest Determination Date, the CMT Rate with respect to this Note shall be the rate displayed on the Designated CMT Telerate Page (as defined below) under the caption “…Constant Maturities Treasury… Federal Reserve Board Release H.15… Mondays Approximately 3:45 p.m.,” under the column for the Designated CMT Maturity Index, as defined below, for:

(1) the rate on that Interest Determination Date, if the Designated CMT Telerate Page is 7051; and

(2) the weekly or monthly average, as specified on the face hereof, for the week or the month, as applicable, ended immediately preceding the week in which the related Interest Determination Date occurs, if the Designated CMT Telerate Page is 7052.

The following procedures shall be followed if the CMT Rate cannot be determined as described above:

(i) If the above rate is no longer displayed on the relevant page, or if not displayed by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate shall be the Treasury Constant Maturity rate for the Designated CMT Maturity Index as published in the relevant H.15(519).

(ii) If the above rate is no longer published, or if not published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate shall be the Treasury Constant Maturity Rate for the Designated CMT Maturity Index or other U.S. Treasury rate for the Designated CMT Maturity Index on the Interest Determination Date as may then be published by either the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or the United States Department of the Treasury that the Calculation Agent determines to be comparable to the rate formerly displayed on the Designated CMT Telerate Page and published in the relevant H.15(519).

(iii) If the information set forth above is not provided by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the Calculation Agent shall determine the CMT Rate to be a yield to maturity, based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market closing offer side prices as of approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the Interest Determination Date, reported, according to their written records, by three leading primary U.S. government securities dealers (“Reference Dealers”) in The City of New York, which may include the initial dealer or another affiliate, selected by the Calculation Agent as described in the following sentence. The Calculation Agent shall select five reference dealers (after consultation with the Issuer) and shall eliminate the highest quotation or, in the event of equality, one of the highest, and the lowest quotation or, in the event of equality, one of the lowest, for the most recently issued direct noncallable fixed rate obligations of the United States (“Treasury Notes”) with an original maturity of approximately the Designated CMT Maturity Index, a remaining term to maturity of no more than 1 year shorter than that Designated CMT Maturity Index and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in the securities in that market at that time.

(iv) If the Calculation Agent cannot obtain three Treasury Notes quotations as described in (iii) above, the Calculation Agent shall determine the CMT Rate to be a yield to maturity based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market offer side prices as of approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the Interest Determination Date of three reference dealers in The City of New York, selected using the same method described in (iii) above, for Treasury Notes with an original maturity of the number of years that is the next highest to the Designated CMT Maturity Index and a remaining term to maturity closest to the Designated CMT Maturity Index and in an amount of at least $100 million. If two Treasury Notes with an original maturity as described above have remaining terms to maturity equally close to the Designated CMT Maturity Index, the quotes for the Treasury Note with the shorter remaining term to maturity shall be used.

(v) If three or four, and not five, of the reference dealers are quoting as described in (iv) above, then the CMT Rate for that Interest Determination Date shall be based on the arithmetic mean of the offer prices obtained and neither the highest nor the lowest of those quotes shall be eliminated.

(vi) If fewer than three reference dealers selected by the Calculation Agent are quoting as described in (iv) above, the CMT Rate for that Interest Determination Date shall be the CMT Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

“Designated CMT Telerate Page” means the display on Moneyline Telerate, or any successor service, on the page designated on the face hereof or any other page as may replace that page on that service for the purpose of displaying Treasury Constant Maturities as reported in H.15(519). If no page is specified on the face hereof, the Designated CMT Telerate Page shall be 7052, for the most recent week.

“Designated CMT Maturity Index” means the original period to maturity of the U.S. Treasury securities, which is either 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 20 or 30 years, as specified in the applicable pricing supplement for which the CMT Rate shall be calculated. If no maturity is specified on the face hereof, the Designated CMT Maturity Index shall be two years.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the interest rate hereon shall not be greater than the Maximum Interest Rate, if any, or less than the Minimum Interest Rate, if any, specified on the face hereof. The Calculation Agent shall calculate the interest rate hereon in accordance with the foregoing on or before each Calculation Date. The interest rate on this Note will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law, as the same may be modified by United States Federal law of general application.

At the request of the holder hereof, the Calculation Agent will provide to the holder hereof the interest rate hereon then in effect and, if determined, the interest rate that will become effective as of the next Interest Reset Date.

Unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof, interest payments on this Note shall be the amount of interest accrued from and including the Interest Accrual Date or from and including the last date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for to but excluding the Interest Payment Dates or the Maturity Date (or any earlier redemption or repayment date), as the case may be. Accrued interest hereon shall be an amount calculated by multiplying the Face Amount hereof by an accrued interest factor. Such accrued interest factor shall be computed by adding the interest factor calculated for each day in the period for which interest is being paid. The interest factor for each such date shall be computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to such day (i) by 360 if the Base Rate is CD Rate, Commercial Paper Rate, EURIBOR, Federal Funds Rate, Prime Rate or LIBOR or (ii) by the actual number of days in the year if the Base Rate is the Treasury Rate or the CMT Rate. All percentages resulting from any calculation of the rate of interest on this Note will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point (with .000005% being rounded up to .00001%) and all dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculation on this Note will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent rounded upward. The interest rate in effect on any Interest Reset Date will be the applicable rate as reset on such date. The interest rate applicable to any other day is the interest rate from the immediately preceding Interest Reset Date (or, if none, the Initial Interest Rate).

This Note and all the obligations of the Issuer hereunder are direct, unsecured obligations of the Issuer and rank without preference or priority among themselves and pari passu with all other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Issuer, except for debts required to be preferred by law.

This Note, and any Note or Notes issued upon transfer or exchange hereof, is issuable only in fully registered form, without coupons, and, if denominated in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise specified above, is issuable only in denominations of U.S. $1,000 and any integral multiple of U.S. $1,000 in excess thereof. If this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, then, unless otherwise specified above or unless a higher minimum denomination is required by applicable law, it is issuable only in denominations of the equivalent of U.S. $1,000 (rounded to an integral multiple of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency), or any amount in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of such number of units of such Specified Currency, as determined by reference to the noon dollar buying rate in The City of New York for cable transfers of such Specified Currency published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the “Market Exchange Rate”) on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of issuance. If the Market Exchange Rate is not available for any reason with respect to one or more currencies or currency units for which an exchange rate is required, the Exchange Rate Agent will use, in its sole discretion and without liability on its part, such quotation of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York as of the most recent available date, or quotations from one or more major banks in New York City or in the country of issue of the currency or currency unit in question, or such other quotations as the Exchange Rate Agent shall deem appropriate. If there is more than one market for dealing in any currency or currency unit by reason of foreign exchange regulations or otherwise, the market to be used in respect of such currency or currency unit will be that upon which a non-resident issuer of securities designated in such currency or currency unit would, as determined in its sole discretion and without liability on the part of the exchange rate agent, purchase such currency or currency unit in order to make payments in respect of such securities.

DBTCA has been appointed registrar for the Notes, and DBTCA will maintain at its office in The City of New York, a register for the registration and transfer of Notes. This Note may be transferred at either the aforesaid New York office of DBTCA by surrendering this Note for cancellation, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Trustee and duly executed by the registered holder hereof in person or by the holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon the Trustee shall issue in the name of the transferee or transferees, in exchange herefor, a new Note or Notes having identical terms and provisions and having a like aggregate principal amount in authorized denominations, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein; provided, however, that the Trustee will not be required (i) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note that has been called for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of Notes being redeemed in part, (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note if the holder thereof has exercised his right, if any, to require the Issuer to repurchase such Note in whole or in part, except the portion of such Note not required to be repurchased, or (iii) to register the transfer of or exchange Notes to the extent and during the period so provided in the Senior Indenture with respect to the redemption of Notes. Notes are exchangeable at said offices for other Notes of other authorized

denominations of equal aggregate principal amount having identical terms and provisions. All such registrations, exchanges and transfers of Notes will be free of service charge, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge in connection therewith. All Notes surrendered for exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Trustee and executed by the registered holder in person or by the holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing. The date of registration of any Note delivered upon any exchange or transfer of Notes shall be such that no gain or loss of interest results from such exchange or transfer.

In case this Note shall at any time become mutilated, defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen and this Note or evidence of the loss, theft or destruction thereof (together with the indemnity hereinafter referred to and such other documents or proof as may be required in the premises) shall be delivered to the Trustee, the Issuer in its discretion may execute a new Note of like tenor in exchange for this Note, but, in the case of any destroyed or lost or stolen Note, only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee and the Issuer that this Note was destroyed or lost or stolen and, if required, upon receipt also of indemnity satisfactory to each of them. All expenses and reasonable charges associated with procuring such indemnity and with the preparation, authentication and delivery of a new Note shall be borne by the owner of the Note mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen.

If the face hereof indicates that this Note is subject to “Tax Redemption and Payment of Additional Amounts,” this Note may be redeemed, as a whole, at the option of the Issuer at any time prior to maturity, upon the giving of a Notice of redemption as described below, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount hereof, together with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption, if the Issuer determines that, as a result of any change in or amendment to the laws, or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder, of the Federal Republic of Germany, the United States, the jurisdiction of residence or incorporation of any successor corporation to the Issuer, or the jurisdiction of any issuing branch, or of any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein affecting taxation, or any change in official position regarding the application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, which change or amendment becomes effective on or after the Initial Offering Date hereof, the Issuer has or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts, as defined below, with respect to this Note as described below. Prior to the giving of any Notice of redemption pursuant to this paragraph, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee (i) a certificate stating that the Issuer is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer to so redeem have occurred, and (ii) an opinion of independent legal counsel satisfactory to the Trustee to such effect based on such statement of facts; provided, that no such Notice of redemption shall be given earlier than 60 calendar days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer would be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts if a payment in respect of this Note were then due. Notice of redemption will be given not less than 30 nor more than 60 calendar days prior to the date fixed for redemption or within the Redemption Notice Period specified on the face hereof, which date and the applicable redemption price will be specified in the Notice.

Every net payment of the principal of and interest on this Note and any other amounts payable on this Note will be made without any withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties or governmental charges of any nature whatsoever imposed, levied or collected by or on behalf of the Federal Republic of Germany, the United States, the jurisdiction of residence or incorporation of any successor corporation to the Issuer or the jurisdiction of any issuing branch, or by or on behalf of any political subdivision or authority therein or thereof having the power to tax (“withholding taxes”) unless such deduction or withholding is required by law. In such event and if specified on the face hereof, the Issuer will, subject to certain exceptions and limitations set forth below, pay such additional amounts (the “Additional Amounts”) to the holder of this Note as may be necessary in order that every net payment of the principal of and interest on this Note and any other amounts payable on this Note, after withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future tax, assessment or governmental charge imposed upon or as a result of such payment by the Federal Republic of Germany, the United States, the jurisdiction of residence or incorporation of any successor corporation to the Issuer or the jurisdiction of any issuing branch, or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, will not be less than the amount provided for in this Note to be then due and payable. The Issuer will not, however, make any payment of Additional Amounts to any such holder for or on account of:

(a) any present or future tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been so imposed but for (i) the existence of any present or former connection between a holder or beneficial owner of this Note and the Federal Republic of Germany, the United States, the jurisdiction of residence or incorporation of any successor corporation to the Issuer or the jurisdiction of any issuing branch, other than the mere holding or beneficial ownership of this Note; (ii) the presentation by or on behalf of the holder of this Note for payment on a date more than 15 calendar days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever occurs later; or (iii) a failure by the holder or beneficial owner of this Note (or any financial institution through which the holder or beneficial owner holds this Note or through which payment on this Note is made) to enter into an agreement described in Section 1471(b)(1) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”) or otherwise comply with Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code or any regulations promulgated thereunder;

(b) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, excise or personal property tax or any similar tax, assessment or governmental charge;

(c) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is payable otherwise than by withholding or deduction from payments on or in respect of this Note;

(d) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge required to be withheld by any Paying Agent from any payment of principal of, or interest on, this Note, if such payment can be made without such withholding by at least one other Paying Agent;

(e) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the failure of the holder or beneficial owner of this Note to comply with certification, information or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence or identity of the holder or beneficial owner of this Note, if such compliance is required by statute or by regulation of the United States or of any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein as a precondition to relief or exemption from such tax, assessment or other governmental charge;

In addition, the Issuer shall not be required to make any payment of Additional Amounts (i) with respect to any withholding taxes which are deducted or withheld pursuant to (A) European Council Directive 2003/48/EC or any other European Union Directive or Regulation implementing the conclusions of the ECOFIN Council meeting of 26-27 November 2000 on the taxation of savings income, or (B) any international treaty or understanding entered into for the purpose of facilitating cooperation in the reporting and collection of savings income and to which (x) the United States, and (y) the European Union or Germany is a party, or (C) any provision of law implementing, or complying with, or introduced to conform with, such Directive, Regulation, treaty or understanding; (ii) to the extent such deduction or withholding can be avoided or reduced if the holder or beneficial owner of this Note makes a declaration of non-residence or other similar claim for exemption to the relevant tax authority or complies with any reasonable certification, documentation, information or other reporting requirement imposed by the relevant tax authority; provided, however, that the exclusion in this clause will not apply if the certification, information, documentation or other reporting requirement would be materially more onerous (in form, procedure or substance of information required to be disclosed) to the holder or beneficial owner of this Note than comparable information or other reporting requirements imposed under U.S. tax law, regulation and administrative practice (such as IRS Forms W-8 and W-9); or (iii) by or on behalf of a holder who would have been able to avoid such withholding or deduction by presenting this Note or the relevant coupon to another Paying Agent in a member state of the European Union. Nor shall the Issuer pay Additional Amounts with respect to any payment on this Note to a holder who is a fiduciary or partnership or other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent such payment would be required by the laws of the United States (or any political subdivision thereof) to be included in the income, for tax purposes, of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary or a member of such partnership or a beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to the Additional Amounts had such beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner been the holder of this Note.

The Senior Indenture provides that (a) if an Event of Default (as defined in the Senior Indenture) due to the default in payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on, any series of debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture, including the series of Senior Global Notes of which this Note forms a part, or due to the default in the performance or breach of any other

covenant or warranty of the Issuer applicable to the debt securities of such series but not applicable to all outstanding debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture, shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 33¹/₃% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of each affected series, voting as one class, by notice in writing to the Issuer and to the Trustee, if given by the securityholders, may then declare the principal of all debt securities of all such series and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately and (b) if an Event of Default due to a default in the performance of any other of the covenants or agreements in the Senior Indenture applicable to all outstanding debt securities issued thereunder, including this Note, or due to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Issuer, shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 33¹/₃% in aggregate principal amount of all outstanding debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture, voting as one class, by notice in writing to the Issuer and to the Trustee, if given by the securityholders, may declare the principal of all such debt securities and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately, but upon certain conditions such declarations may be annulled and past defaults may be waived (except a continuing default in payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on such debt securities) by the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of all affected series then outstanding.

The Senior Indenture permits the Issuer and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of all series issued under the Senior Indenture then outstanding and affected (voting as one class), to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner the rights of the holders of each series so affected; provided that the Issuer and the Trustee may not, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security affected thereby, (i) extend the final maturity of any such debt security, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any amount payable on redemption thereof, or change the currency of payment thereof, or modify or amend the provisions for conversion of any currency into any other currency, or modify or amend the provisions for conversion or exchange of the debt security for securities of the Issuer or other entities or for other property or the cash value of the property (other than as provided in the antidilution provisions or other similar adjustment provisions of the debt securities or otherwise in accordance with the terms thereof), or impair or affect the rights of any holder to institute suit for the payment thereof or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage in principal amount of debt securities the consent of the holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture.

Except as set forth below, if the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on this Note is payable in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars and such Specified Currency is not available to the Issuer for making payments hereon due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Issuer or is no longer used by the government of the country issuing such currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions within the international banking community, then the Issuer will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to the holder of this Note by making such payments in U.S. dollars (the “Substitute Currency”). The Substitute Currency will become the currency of payment on each payment date occuring after the last date on which the Specified Currency was available (the

“Conversion Date”) but such Specified Currency will, at the Issuer’s election, resume being the currency of payment on the first such payment date preceded by 15 Business Days during which the circumstances which gave rise to the change of currency no longer prevail, in each case, as determined in good faith by the Issuer. The Substitute Currency amount to be paid by the Issuer to the Paying Agent and by the Paying Agent to the Holder of this Note with respect to such payment date will be the Currency Equivalent or Currency Unit Equivalent (each as defined below) of the Specified Currency as determined by the Exchange Rate Agent (as defined below), which such determination will be delivered in writing to the Paying Agent not later than the fifth Business Day prior to the applicable payment date, as of the Conversion Date, or, if later, the date most recently preceding the payment date in question on which such determination is possible of performance, but not more than 15 Business Days before such payment date. Such Conversion Date or date preceding a payment date is referred to a the “Substitute Currency Valuation Date.” Any payment in a Substitute Currency under the circumstances described above will not constitute an Event of Default under this Note.

The “Currency Equivalent” will be determined by the Exchange Rate Agent as of each Substitute Currency Valuation Date and will be obtained by converting the Specified Currency (unless the Specified Currency is a currency unit) into the Substitute Currency at the Market Exchange Rate on the Substitute Currency Valuation Date.

The “Currency Unit Equivalent” will be determined by the Exchange Rate Agent as of each Substitute Currency Valuation Date and will be the sum obtained by adding together the results obtained by converting the Specified Amount of each intial Component Currency into the Substitute Currency at the Market Exchange Rate on the Substitute Currency Valuation Date for such Component Currency.

The “Component Currency” means any currency which, on the Conversion Date, was a component currency of the relevant currency unit.

The “Specified Amount” of a Component Currency means the number of units (including decimals) which such Component Currency represented in the relevant currency unit, on the Conversion Date or the Substitute Currency Valuation Date or the last date the currency unit was so used, whichever is later. If after such date the official unit of any Component Currency is altered by way of combination or subdivision, the Specified Amount of such Component Currency will be divided or multiplied in the same proportion. If after such date two or more Component Currencies are consolidated into a single currency, the respective Specified Amounts of such Component Currencies will be replaced by an amount in such single currency equal to the sum of the respective Specified Amounts of such consolidated Component Currencies expressed in such single currency, and such amount will thereafter be a Specified Amount and such single currency will thereafter be a Component Currency. If after such date any Component Currency will be divided into two or more currencies, the Specified Amount of such Component Currency will be replaced by Specified Amounts of such two or more currencies, the sum of which, at the Market Exchange Rate of such two or more currencies on the date of such replacement, will be equal to the Specified Amount of such former Component Currency and such amounts will thereafter be Specified Amounts and such currencies will thereafter be Component Currencies.

The “Exchange Rate Agent” shall be Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch, unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof.

All determinations referred to above made by, or on behalf of, the Issuer or by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent shall be at such entity’s sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on holders of this Note and coupons.

So long as this Note shall be outstanding, the Issuer will cause to be maintained an office or agency for the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Note as herein provided in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and an office or agency in said Borough of Manhattan for the registration, transfer and exchange as aforesaid of this Note. The Issuer may designate other agencies for the payment of said principal, premium and interest at such place or places (subject to applicable laws and regulations) as the Issuer may decide. So long as there shall be such an agency, the Issuer shall keep the Trustee advised of the names and locations of such agencies, if any are so designated. If any European Union Directive on the taxation of savings comes into force, the Issuer will, to the extent possible as a matter of law, maintain a Paying Agent in a member state of the European Union that will not be obligated to withhold or deduct tax pursuant to any such Directive or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such Directive.

With respect to moneys paid by the Issuer and held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent for payment of the principal of or interest or premium, if any, on any Notes that remain unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal, interest or premium shall have become due and payable (whether at maturity or upon call for redemption or otherwise), (i) the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall notify the holders of such Notes that such moneys shall be repaid to the Issuer and any person claiming such moneys shall thereafter look only to the Issuer for payment thereof and (ii) such moneys shall be so repaid to the Issuer. Upon such repayment all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such moneys shall thereupon cease, without, however, limiting in any way any obligation that the Issuer may have to pay the principal of or interest or premium, if any, on this Note as the same shall become due.

No provision of this Note or of the Senior Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the amount of cash, or other property, as determined in accordance with the provisions set forth on the face of this Note due with respect to the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed unless otherwise agreed between the Issuer and the registered holder of this Note.

Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the holder in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or the interest on this Note, for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Senior Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Issuer or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Issuer or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.

This Note shall for all purposes be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.
