Section 2.02 Subordination Unimpaired. No subsequent agreement may limit the subordination pursuant to the provisions set out in this Supplemental Capital Securities and Article 13 of the Base Capital Securities Indenture or shorten the term of the PerpNC6 Notes or any applicable notice period. If the PerpNC6 Notes are redeemed or repurchased by the Issuer otherwise than in the circumstances described in Section 13.01 of the Base Capital Securities Indenture or as a result of a redemption pursuant to Section 6.04, Section 6.05 or Section 6.06, then the amounts redeemed or paid must be returned to the Issuer irrespective of any agreement to the contrary unless the competent supervisory authority of the Issuer has given its consent to such redemption or repurchase. A termination or redemption of the PerpNC6 Notes pursuant to Article 6 or a repurchase of the PerpNC6 Notes requires, in any event, the prior consent of the competent supervisory authority of the Issuer.

Section 2.03 PerpNC6 Notes Subject to Resolution Measures. By subscribing for or otherwise acquiring the PerpNC6 Notes, the Holders shall be bound by and shall be deemed to consent to the imposition of any Resolution Measure (as defined below) by the competent resolution authority.

(a) Under the relevant resolution laws and regulations as applicable to the Issuer from time to time, the PerpNC6 Notes may be subject to the powers exercised by the competent resolution authority to:

(1) write down, including write down to zero, the claims for payment of the principal amount, the interest amount or any other amount in respect of the PerpNC6 Notes;

(2) convert the PerpNC6 Notes into ordinary shares of (i) the Issuer or (ii) any group entity or (iii) any bridge bank or other instruments of ownership of such entities qualifying as Common Equity Tier 1 capital (and the issue to or conferral on the holders (including the beneficial owners) of such ordinary shares or instruments); and/or

The term “bridge bank” shall mean a newly chartered German bank that would receive some or all of the Issuer’s equity securities, assets, liabilities and material contracts, including those attributable to the Issuer’s branches and subsidiaries in a resolution proceeding.

For the avoidance of doubt, any non-payment by the Issuer arising out of any such Resolution Measure will not constitute a Non-Payment Event under the terms of the PerpNC6 Notes or the Capital Securities Indenture.

(b) By its acquisition of the PerpNC6 Notes, each Holder shall be deemed irrevocably to have agreed:

(1) to be bound by, to acknowledge and to accept any Resolution Measure and any amendment, modification or variation of the terms and conditions of the PerpNC6 Notes to give effect to any Resolution Measure;

(2) that it will have no claim or other right against the Issuer arising out of any Resolution Measure; and

(3) that the imposition of any Resolution Measure will not constitute a default or an event of default under (i) the PerpNC6 Notes, (ii) the Capital Securities Indenture, or (iii) for the purpose of, but only to

extent permitted by the Trust Indenture Act (including, without limitation, Section 315(b) (Notice of Defaults) and Section 315(c) (Duties of the Trustee in Case of Default) of the Trust Indenture Act).

(a) The terms and conditions of the PerpNC6 Notes shall continue to apply in relation to the residual principal amount of, or outstanding amount payable in respect of, the PerpNC6 Notes, subject to any modification of the amount of interest payable to reflect the reduction of the principal amount, and any further modification of the terms that the competent resolution authority may decide in accordance with applicable laws and regulations relating to the resolution of banks, banking group companies, credit institutions and/or investment firms incorporated in the Federal Republic of Germany.

(b) No repayment of the then-current principal amount of the PerpNC6 Notes or payment of interest thereon (to the extent of the portion thereof affected by the imposition of a Resolution Measure) shall become due and payable after the imposition of any Resolution Measure by the competent resolution authority, unless such repayment or payment would be permitted to be made by the Issuer under the laws and regulations of the Federal Republic of Germany then applicable to the Issuer.

(c) By its acquisition of the PerpNC6 Notes, each Holder waives, to the fullest extent permitted by the Trust Indenture Act and applicable law, any and all claims against the Trustee and the Agents for, agrees not to initiate a suit against the Trustee or the Agents in respect of, and agrees that the Trustee and the Agents shall not be liable for, any action that the Trustee or any of the Agents takes, or abstains from taking, in either case in accordance with the imposition of a Resolution Measure by the competent resolution authority with respect to the PerpNC6 Notes.

(d) Upon the imposition of a Resolution Measure by the competent resolution authority with respect to the PerpNC6 Notes, the Issuer shall provide a written notice directly to the Holders in accordance with Article 10 as soon as practicable regarding such imposition of a Resolution Measure for purposes of notifying Holders of such occurrence. The Issuer shall also deliver a copy of such notice to the Trustee and the Paying Agent for information purposes. Any delay or failure by the Issuer to give notice shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any Resolution Measure nor the effects thereof on the PerpNC6 Notes.

(e) If the Issuer has elected to redeem any PerpNC6 Notes but at any time prior to the payment of the redemption amount (i) the competent resolution authority has imposed a Resolution Measure with respect to the PerpNC6 Notes, (ii) a Trigger Event has occurred, (ii) the Issuer is either Overindebted or Illiquid, or (iii) the Issuer would become Overindebted or Illiquid immediately following the payment of the redemption amount, then the

relevant redemption notice shall be automatically rescinded and shall be of no force and effect, and no payment of the redemption amount will be due and payable.

(f) Upon the imposition of any Resolution Measure by the competent resolution authority, the Trustee shall not be required to take any further directions from Holders of the PerpNC6 Notes under Section 5.09 of the Base Capital Securities Indenture, which section authorizes Holders of a majority in aggregate outstanding principal amount of the PerpNC6 Notes to direct certain actions relating to the PerpNC6 Notes, and if any such direction was previously given under Section 5.09 of the Base Capital Securities Indenture to the Trustee by the Holders, it shall automatically cease to be effective, be null and void and have no further effect. The Capital Securities Indenture shall impose no duties upon the Trustee or the Agents whatsoever with respect to the imposition of any Resolution Measure by the competent resolution authority. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, following the completion of the imposition of a Resolution Measure by the competent resolution authority, the PerpNC6 Notes remain outstanding (for example, if the imposition of a Resolution Measure results in only a partial write-down of the principal of the PerpNC6 Notes), then the Trustee’s and the Paying Agent’s duties under the Capital Securities Indenture shall remain applicable with respect to the PerpNC6 Notes following such completion to the extent that the Issuer, the Trustee and the Agents agree pursuant to a supplemental indenture, unless the Issuer, the Trustee and the Agents agree that a supplemental indenture is not necessary.

(g) By its acquisition of the PerpNC6 Notes, each Holder shall be deemed irrevocably to have (i) consented to the imposition of any Resolution Measure as it may be imposed without any prior notice by the competent resolution authority of its decision to exercise such power with respect to the PerpNC6 Notes and (ii) authorized, directed and requested the Depositary and any direct participant in the Depositary or other intermediary through which it holds such Notes to take any and all necessary action, if required, to implement the imposition of any Resolution Measure with respect to the PerpNC6 Notes as it may be imposed, without any further action or direction on the part of such Holders, the part of the Trustee or the part of the Agents.

(h) If the competent resolution authority imposes a Resolution Measure with respect to less than the total outstanding principal amount of the PerpNC6 Notes, unless the Trustee or the Agents are otherwise instructed by the Issuer or the competent resolution authority, any cancellation, write-off or conversion into equity made in respect of the PerpNC6 Notes pursuant to the Resolution Measure will be made on a substantially pro rata basis among the PerpNC6 Notes.

(i) The Issuer’s obligations to indemnify the Trustee and the Agents in accordance with the Section 6.02 and Section 6.06 of the Base Capital Securities Indenture shall survive the imposition of a Resolution Measure by the competent resolution authority with respect to the PerpNC6 Notes. For the avoidance of doubt, any and all amounts due and owing to the Trustee under any provision of the Capital Securities Indenture shall be payable within six (6) days of the date specified for payment or where no date is specified, the date on which the Trustee demands payment in accordance with the applicable provision of the Capital Securities Indenture.

ARTICLE 3

INTEREST ON THE PERPNC6 NOTES

Section 3.01 Interest Payment Dates.

(a) Subject to a cancellation of interest payments pursuant to Section 3.08 and a write-down pursuant to Section 6.11 and Section 6.12, the PerpNC6 Notes shall bear interest on their aggregate nominal amount in the period (each, an “Interest Period”) from February 14, 2020 (the “Interest Commencement Date”) (inclusive) to the first Interest Payment Date (exclusive), and thereafter from each Interest Payment Date (inclusive) to the next following Interest Payment Date (exclusive). The initial Interest Period shall be a short interest accrual period. In the event of a write-down pursuant to Section 6.11, the PerpNC6 Notes shall for the full respective Interest Period in which such write-down occurs only bear interest on the aggregate nominal amount which has been reduced accordingly; a potential write-up pursuant to Section 6.12 which may occur on the relevant Interest Payment Date will not be taken into account for such Interest Period and will only become effective from the Interest Period commencing on the Interest Payment Date on which the write-up occurs.

(b) The first Interest Payment Date is April 30, 2020.

(c) If any Interest Payment Date would otherwise fall on a day which is not a Business Day, it shall be postponed to the next day which is a Business Day. Holders shall not be entitled to further interest or other payment in respect of such postponement.

(d) A Holder of a PerpNC6 Note at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding an Interest Payment Date (the “Regular Record Date”) shall be entitled to receive interest payable pursuant to Section 3.02 on such PerpNC6 Note on the corresponding Interest Payment Date.

Section 3.02 Rate of Interest. Unless expressly provided otherwise below, the Rate of Interest (the “Rate of Interest”) for any Interest Period shall be

(a) for the period from the Interest Commencement Date (inclusive) to the First Interest Reset Date (exclusive) a fixed rate of 6.000 per cent. per annum, and

(b) for the period from the First Interest Reset Date (inclusive) the Reset Rate, per annum.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Treasury Yield cannot be determined by the Calculation Agent for any Reset Period (such Reset Period, the “Affected Reset Period”) pursuant to the methods described in the definition of “Treasury Yield”, then the Replacement Rate Agent will determine in its sole discretion (acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner) whether to use an alternative rate for purposes of determining the Treasury Yield for the Affected Reset Period and each Reset Period thereafter. If the Replacement Rate Agent determines to use an alternative rate pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, it shall select such rate that it has determined in its sole discretion (acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner) is most comparable to the rate described in clause (i) in the definition of “Treasury Yield” (the “Existing Rate”), provided that if it determines that there is an appropriate industry-accepted successor rate to the Existing Rate, it shall use such industry-accepted successor rate. If the Replacement Rate Agent has determined an alternative rate in accordance with the foregoing (such rate, the “Replacement Rate”), for purposes of determining the Treasury Yield, (i) the Replacement Rate Agent shall in its sole discretion (acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner) determine (A) the method for obtaining the Replacement Rate (including any alternative method for determining the Replacement Rate if such alternative rate is unavailable on the relevant Determination Date), which method shall be consistent with industry-accepted practices for the Replacement Rate, and (B) any adjustment factor as may be necessary to make the Replacement Rate comparable to the Existing Rate consistent with industry-accepted practices for the Replacement Rate, (ii) references to the Treasury Yield herein shall be deemed to be references to the Replacement Rate, including any alternative method for determining such rate and any adjustment factor as described in sub-clause (i) above, (iii) if the Replacement Rate Agent in its sole discretion (acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner) determines that changes to the definitions of Business Day, Day Count Fraction or Determination Date are necessary in order to implement the Replacement Rate as the Treasury Yield, such definitions shall be deemed to have been amended for the purposes of this Fifth Supplemental Capital Securities Indenture and the PerpNC6 Notes, to reflect such implementation, and (iv) the Issuer shall give notice as soon as practicable to the holders in accordance with the Capital Securities Indenture and each of the Paying Agents specifying the Replacement Rate, as well as the details described in sub-clause (i) above and the amendments implemented pursuant to the Capital Securities Indenture.

By its acquisition of the PerpNC6 Notes, each Holder shall be deemed irrevocably to have agreed and, subject to Sections 6.10 and 6.11, does agree:

(a) to be bound by the Replacement Rate Agent’s determination of the Existing Rate or Replacement Rate, including without the need for the Issuer to obtain any further consent from such Holder;

(b) to waive any and all claims, in law and/or in equity, against the Trustee, Calculation Agent or the Replacement Rate Agent;

(c) not to initiate a suit against the Trustee, the Calculation Agent or the Replacement Rate Agent in respect of, and that none of the Trustee, the Calculation Agent or the Replacement Rate Agent will be liable for, the determination of or the failure to determine any Reset Rate, Existing Rate or Replacement Rate.

Section 3.03 Interest Amount. The Calculation Agent will, forthwith after the determination of the Reference Rate, determine the applicable Rate of Interest and calculate the amount of interest payable on the PerpNC6 Notes in respect of the Specified Denomination (subject to Section 6.11) (the “Interest Amount”) for the relevant Interest Periods. The Interest Amount shall be calculated by applying the Rate of Interest and the Day Count Fraction to the Specified Denomination and rounding the resultant figure to the nearest unit of the Specified Currency, with 0.5 of such unit being rounded upwards.

Section 3.04 Notification of Rate of Interest and Interest Amount. The Calculation Agent will cause the Rate of Interest and the Interest Amount for the Interest Periods up to the next Reset Date to be notified (i) to the Issuer, to the Paying Agent, to the other Agents, to the Trustee and to the Holders in accordance with Article 10 as soon as possible after their determination, but in no event later than the fourth Business Day thereafter and (ii), if required by the rules of any stock exchange on which the PerpNC6 Notes are listed from time to time at the request of the Issuer, to such stock exchange as soon as possible after their determination, but in no event later than the first day of the Interest Period in relation to which the relevant Rate of Interest and the relevant Interest Amount applies.

Section 3.05 Determinations Binding. All certificates, communications, opinions, determinations, calculations, quotations and decisions given, expressed, made or obtained for the purposes of the provisions of this Article 3 by the Calculation Agent shall (in the absence of manifest error) be binding on the Issuer, the Paying Agent and the Holders.

Section 3.06 Accrual of Interest. The PerpNC6 Notes shall cease to bear interest from the beginning of the day on which they are due for redemption. If the Issuer shall fail to redeem the PerpNC6 Notes when due, interest shall continue to accrue on the outstanding aggregate nominal amount of the PerpNC6 Notes from the due date (inclusive) to the date of actual redemption of the PerpNC6 Notes (exclusive) at the default rate of interest established by law.

Section 3.07 Day Count Fraction. “Day Count Fraction” means with regard to the calculation of an Interest Amount on the PerpNC6 Notes for any period of time (the “Calculation Period”) the number of days in the Calculation Period divided by the actual number of days in the respective interest year (i.e. from April 30^th (inclusive) in any year to the next April 30^th (exclusive)).

Section 3.08 Cancellation of Interest Payment

(a) Interest on the PerpNC6 Notes shall only be or become due and payable on an Interest Payment Date to the extent it has not been cancelled or deemed cancelled (in each case, in whole or in part) in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Section 3.08. To the extent any payment of interest that would otherwise have been paid has been cancelled or deemed cancelled, then the interest that would otherwise have been payable absent such cancellation shall not be due and payable and no Holder shall have any claim whatsoever in respect thereof. In addition, principal, interest or other amounts on the PerpNC6 Notes shall only be or become due and payable to the extent that such amounts are not subject to any Resolution Measure. Any interest, principal or other amounts so cancelled or deemed cancelled (in each case, in whole or in part) pursuant to such sections shall not be due and shall not accumulate or be payable at any time thereafter, and Holders shall have no rights thereto or in connection therewith or any claim therefor and shall not be entitled to any additional interest or compensation as a result of or in connection with such cancellation or deemed cancellation. For the avoidance of doubt, any such cancellation or deemed cancellation (in whole or in part) will not constitute a Non-Payment Event under the terms of the PerpNC6 Notes or the Capital Securities Indenture.

By its acquisition of the PerpNC6 Notes, each Holder shall be deemed irrevocably to have agreed that:

(1) subject to Section 6.10, interest is due and payable in respect of any period only if and to the extent that the Issuer has not exercised its sole discretion to cancel such payment, and no amount of interest shall become due and payable in respect of any such period to the extent that it has been (x) cancelled (in whole or in part) by the Issuer at the Issuer’s sole discretion pursuant to Section 3.08(b), (y) cancelled (in whole or in part) pursuant to a Resolution Measure and/or (z) deemed cancelled (in whole or in part) pursuant to Section 3.08(c);

(2) a cancellation or deemed cancellation of interest (in each case, in whole or in part) in accordance with the terms hereof and of the Capital Securities Indenture shall not constitute a default in payment or otherwise constitute a default under, or a breach of, the terms of the PerpNC6 Notes or the Capital Securities Indenture; and

(3) subject to Section 3.08(a), interest, principal or other amounts on the PerpNC6 Notes shall only be or become due and payable in accordance with this Section 3.08(a).

(b) The Issuer has the right, to cancel all or part of any payment of interest in its sole discretion and at any time. If the Issuer makes use of such right, it shall give notice to the Holders in accordance with Article 10 without undue delay, but no later than on the relevant Interest Payment Date. Any failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of the cancellation and shall not constitute a default for any purpose. A notice which has not been given until the relevant Interest Payment Date shall be given without undue delay thereafter. Interest that is cancelled will not be due and will not accumulate or be payable at any time thereafter.

(c) Payment of interest on the PerpNC6 Notes for the relevant Interest Period shall be excluded and cancelled (without prejudice to the exercise of sole discretion pursuant to Section 3.08(b)):

(1) to the extent that such payment of interest together with any additional Distributions plus any write-ups in accordance with the terms of the PerpNC6 Notes or in respect of other Additional Tier 1 Instruments that are simultaneously planned or made or that have been made by the Issuer in the Issuer’s then current financial year on other capital instruments which, according to the CRR, qualify as Tier 1 instruments of the Issuer would exceed the Available Distributable Items provided that, for such purpose, the Available Distributable Items shall be increased by (i) an amount equal to what has been accounted for as expenses for Distributions in respect of Tier 1 Instruments (including payments of interest on the PerpNC6 Notes) in the determination of the profit (Gewinn) on which the Available Distributable Items are based and (ii) any supplemental amounts that may be included for the purposes of determining the amounts distributable on Additional Tier 1 instruments under the bank regulatory capital rules applicable to the Issuer from time to time; or

(2) if and to the extent that the competent supervisory authority orders that all or part of the relevant payment of interest be cancelled or another prohibition of Distributions is imposed by law or an authority (including (i) a prohibition of Distributions in connection with the calculation of the maximum distributable amount within the meaning of Article 141(2) of Directive 2013/36/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2013 on access to the activity of credit institutions and the prudential supervision of credit institutions and investment firms,

amending Directive 2002/87/EC and repealing Directives 2006/48/EC and 2006/49/EC (such Directive, as amended, supplemented or replaced from time to time, the “CRD”)) and as currently transposed into German law by Section 10i of the German Banking Act (such amount, the “Maximum Distributable Amount” or “MDA”), and upon their transposition into German law, (ii) a prohibition of Distributions in connection with the calculation of the leverage ratio related maximum distributable amount (“L-MDA”) pursuant to Article 141b(2) of the CRD, and (iii) the maximum distributable amount related to the minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities (“M-MDA”) pursuant to Article 16a(1) of Directive 2014/59/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of May 15, 2014 establishing a framework for the recovery and resolution of credit institutions and investment firms (including any provisions of regulatory law supplementing this Directive)(such Directive, as amended or replaced from time to time, the “BRRD”)).

(d) The Issuer has the right to use the funds from cancelled payments of interest without restrictions for the fulfilment of its own obligations when due. To the extent that payments of interest are cancelled, such cancellation includes all Additional Amounts payable pursuant to Section 8.01. Any payments of interest which have been cancelled will not be made or compensated at any later date.

NO SCHEDULED MATURITY; REDEMPTION; WRITE-DOWNS

Section 6.01 No Scheduled Maturity. The PerpNC6 Notes have no scheduled maturity date.

Section 6.02 Deposit of Redemption Price. Prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Redemption Date, the Issuer shall deposit with the Paying Agent an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price in respect of all the PerpNC6 Notes to be redeemed on that Redemption Date and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such PerpNC6 Notes.

Section 6.04 Redemption for Regulatory Reasons. Subject to the Redemption Conditions, the Issuer may redeem the PerpNC6 Notes, in whole but not in part, with the prior approval of the Issuer’s competent supervisory

authority, at any time if there is a change in the regulatory classification of the PerpNC6 Notes that would likely result in (i) their exclusion in full or in part from the Issuer’s own funds within the meaning of the CRR (other than as a consequence of a write-down or conversion, as the case may be) or (ii) their reclassification as a lower quality form of the Issuer’s own funds than their classification at the time of their issuance, but only if the conditions of Article 78(4)(a) of the CRR are met, pursuant to which the Issuer’s competent supervisory authority may approve such a redemption if (a) it considers the change in the regulatory classification to be sufficiently certain and (b) the Issuer demonstrates to the satisfaction of the competent supervisory authority that the regulatory reclassification of the PerpNC6 Notes was not reasonably foreseeable at the time of their issuance. Such redemption shall be made upon not less than 30 and not more than 60 days’ prior notice of redemption at their Redemption Amount together with interest (if any, and subject to a cancellation of the interest payment pursuant to Section 3.08) accrued to (and excluding) the date fixed for redemption.

Section 6.05 Redemption for Reasons of Taxation. Subject to the Redemption Conditions, the Issuer may redeem the PerpNC6 Notes, in whole but not in part, with the prior approval of the Issuer’s competent supervisory authority, if the tax treatment of the PerpNC6 Notes changes, due to a change in applicable legislation, including a change in any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices, which takes effect after the time of their issuance (including but not limited to the tax deductibility of interest payable on the PerpNC6 Notes or the obligation to pay Additional Amounts) and the conditions of Article 78(4)(b) of the CRR are met, pursuant to which the Issuer’s competent supervisory authority may approve such redemption if there is a change in the applicable tax treatment of the PerpNC6 Notes that the Issuer has demonstrated to the satisfaction of the competent supervisory authority is material and was not reasonably foreseeable at the time of their issuance. Such redemption shall be made upon not less than 30 and not more than 60 days’ prior notice of redemption at their Redemption Amount together with interest (if any, and subject to a cancellation of the interest payment pursuant to Section 3.08) accrued to (and excluding) the date fixed for redemption.

Section 6.06 Redemption at the Option of the Issuer. Subject to the Redemption Conditions, the Issuer may redeem the PerpNC6 Notes, in whole but not in part, with the prior approval of the Issuer’s competent supervisory authority, upon not less than 30 days’ notice of redemption with effect as of the Early Redemption Date at their Redemption Amount together with interest (if any, and subject to a cancellation of the interest payment pursuant to Section 3.08) accrued to (and excluding) the Early Redemption Date. The Issuer may exercise its redemption right pursuant to this Section 6.06 only if any write-downs following a Trigger Event have been fully written up.

Section 6.07 Notice. Notice pursuant to Section 6.04, Section 6.05 and Section 6.06 shall be given in accordance with Article 10 to the Holders, the Agents and the Trustee. Such notice shall state the date fixed for redemption and, in the case of a notice pursuant to Section 6.04 or Section 6.05, the reason for the redemption. If the Issuer has elected to redeem the PerpNC6 Notes but at any time prior to the payment of the Redemption Amount (i) the competent resolution authority has imposed a Resolution Measure with respect to the PerpNC6 Notes, (ii) a Trigger Event has occurred, (iii) the Issuer is either Overindebted or Illiquid, or (iv) the Issuer would become Overindebted or Illiquid immediately following the payment of the Redemption Amount, then the relevant redemption notice shall be automatically rescinded and shall be of no force and effect, and no payment of the Redemption Amount will be due and payable. The Issuer shall promptly notify the Holders, the Trustee and the Agents if a redemption notice is rescinded because of an event set forth in (i) to (iv) of the previous sentence, provided that such notice will not be a precondition for the invalidity of a redemption notice.

Section 6.08 Redemption after Write-Up; Redemption Amount. The Issuer may exercise its ordinary redemption rights pursuant to Section 6.06 only if any write-downs pursuant to Section 6.11 have been fully written up. However, if any PerpNC6 Note is written down in whole or in part pursuant to a Resolution Measure, the Issuer shall be permitted to exercise its ordinary redemption right pursuant to Section 6.06 without subsequently writing up any such write-down.

Otherwise, the exercise of the redemption rights pursuant to Section 6.04, Section 6.05 and Section 6.06 shall be at the sole discretion of the Issuer (subject to the prior approval of the Issuer’s competent supervisory authority). No Holder shall have any claim against the Issuer in connection with or arising out of the reduction of the Redemption Amount in connection with any write-down under Section 6.11 or any Resolution Measure.

Section 6.09 No Call Right of the Holders. The Holders have no right to call the PerpNC6 Notes for redemption.

Section 6.10 Deemed Agreement to Principal Write-down. By its acquisition of the PerpNC6 Notes, each Holder shall be deemed irrevocably to have agreed, subject to Section 3.08(a), that: (i) subject to Section 3.08(a), interest is not due and payable on any portions of the aggregate nominal amount of the PerpNC6 Notes written down pursuant to Section 6.11 (to the extent not subsequently written up pursuant to Section 6.12), (ii) a write down of the nominal amount of the PerpNC6 Notes (in whole or in part) in accordance with the terms hereof and of the Capital Securities Indenture shall not constitute a default in payment or otherwise constitute a default under, or a breach of, the terms of the PerpNC6 Notes or the Capital Securities Indenture; and subject to Section 3.08(a), interest or principal on the PerpNC6 Notes shall only be or

become due and payable on an Interest Payment Date or other relevant date to the extent the nominal amount of the PerpNC6 Notes at the time of such payment has not been written down in accordance with Section 6.11 (in whole or in part, and to the extent not subsequently written up pursuant to Section 6.12). Any interest, principal or other amounts unpaid as a result of a write-down (in whole or in part) in accordance with Section 6.11 shall not be due and shall not accumulate or be payable at any time thereafter, and pursuant to the terms of the PerpNC6 Notes, Holders shall have no rights thereto or in connection therewith or any claim therefor and shall not be entitled to any additional interest or compensation as a result of or in connection with such write-down. For the avoidance of doubt, any write-down (in whole or in part) pursuant to Section 6.11 shall not constitute a Non-Payment Event under the terms of the PerpNC6 Notes or the Capital Securities Indenture.

Section 6.11 Write-down. Upon the occurrence of a Trigger Event, the Redemption Amount and the nominal amount of each PerpNC6 Note shall be reduced by the amount of the relevant write-down.

A “Trigger Event” shall occur, if at any time, the Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio pursuant to Article 92 (1) (a) of the CRR or any successor provision, determined on a consolidated basis (the “Common Equity Tier 1 Capital Ratio”), falls below 5.125 per cent. Whether a Trigger Event has occurred shall be determined by the Issuer, the Issuer’s competent supervisory authority or any agent appointed for such purpose by the Issuer’s competent supervisory authority and such determination shall be binding on the Holders.

Upon the occurrence of a Trigger Event, a write-down shall be effected pro rata with all of the Issuer’s other instruments issued as Additional Tier 1 capital within the meaning of the CRR, the terms of which provide for a write-down (whether permanent or temporary) upon the occurrence of the Trigger Event. For such purpose, the total amount of the write-downs to be allocated pro rata shall be equal to the amount required to restore fully the Common Equity Tier 1 Capital Ratio of the Issuer to 5.125 per cent. but shall not exceed the sum of the nominal amounts of the relevant instruments outstanding at the time of occurrence of the Trigger Event. The performance of any write-downs in respect of the PerpNC6 Notes shall not be dependent on the effectiveness of a write-down or conversion of the instruments.

The sum of the write-downs to be effected with respect to the PerpNC6 Notes shall be limited to the outstanding aggregate nominal amount of the PerpNC6 Notes at the time of occurrence of the relevant Trigger Event.

Upon the occurrence of a Trigger Event, the Issuer shall:

(a) inform the competent supervisory authority that is responsible for the Issuer and, in accordance with Article 10, provide notice to the Trustee, the

Agents and the Holders of the PerpNC6 Notes without undue delay about the occurrence of such Trigger Event and the fact that a write-down will have to be effected, and

(b) determine the write-down to be effected without undue delay, but not later than within one month (unless the competent supervisory authority of the Issuer shortens such period), and notify such write-down (i) to the competent supervisory authority, (ii) to the Holders of the PerpNC6 Notes in accordance with Article 10, (iii) to the Calculation Agent and the Paying Agent, the other Agents and the Trustee and (iv), if required by the rules of any stock exchange on which the PerpNC6 Notes are listed from time to time at the request of the Issuer, to such stock exchange.

The write-down shall be deemed to be effected at the time when the notices pursuant to (a) and (b) above are given and the nominal amount of each PerpNC6 Note (including the Redemption Amount) in the Specified Denomination shall be deemed to be reduced at such time by the amount of such write-down. Any failure to give such notice shall not affect the effectiveness of, or otherwise invalidate, any write-down. A notice which has not been given shall be given without undue delay. To the extent that the write-down of any of the Issuer’s other Additional Tier 1 instruments is not effective for any reason, (i) the ineffectiveness of any such write-down shall not prejudice the requirement to effect a write-down of the PerpNC6 Notes and (ii) the ineffective write-down shall not be taken into account in determining the write-down amount of the PerpNC6 Notes.

In each case, the notice pursuant to this Section 6.11(b) shall specify the amount of the write-down and the date the write-down of the PerpNC6 Notes will be (or is expected to be) effected.

A Trigger Event may occur on more than one occasion and the PerpNC6 Notes may be written down on more than one occasion.

Section 6.12 Nominal Amount and Redemption Amount after Write-down; Write-up. After a write-down has been effected, the nominal amount and the Redemption Amount of each PerpNC6 Note, unless previously redeemed or repurchased and cancelled, may be written up in accordance with the following provisions of Section 6.12 in each of the financial years of the Issuer subsequent to the occurrence of such write-down until the full initial nominal amount has been reached, to the extent that a corresponding annual profit (Jahresüberschuss, calculated in accordance with German law and accounting principles) is recorded and the write-up will not give rise to or increase an annual loss (Jahresfehlbetrag, calculated in accordance with German law and accounting principles). The write-up will occur with effect as of the Interest Payment Date (including) immediately following the financial year of the Issuer for which the above-mentioned annual profit (Jahresüberschuss) was determined.

The write-up shall be effected pari passu with write-ups of other instruments issued as Additional Tier 1 capital within the meaning of the CRR, unless this would cause the Issuer to be in breach of any of its statutory or regulatory obligations.

Subject to the conditions (a) to (e) below, which may limit the extent of any write-up, it shall be at the discretion of the Issuer to effect a write-up. In particular, the Issuer may effect a write-up only in part or effect no write-up at all even if a corresponding annual profit is recorded and the conditions (a) to (e) are fulfilled.

(a) To the extent that the annual profit determined or to be determined is to be used for a write-up of the PerpNC6 Notes (i.e. a write-up of the nominal amount and of the Redemption Amount) and of other instruments issued as Additional Tier 1 capital within the meaning of the CRR, the terms of which provide for a similar Trigger Event (also if such terms provide for a different Tier 1 capital ratio as trigger) (together with the PerpNC6 Notes the “AT1 Instruments”), and is available in accordance with (b) and (c) below, such write-up shall be effected pro rata in proportion to the initial nominal amounts of the instruments.

(b) The maximum total amount that may be used for a write-up of the PerpNC6 Notes and of other AT1 Instruments that have been written down and for the payment of interest and other Distributions on AT1 Instruments that have been written down shall be calculated, subject to the regulatory technical standards applicable at the time when the write-up is effected, in accordance with the following formula:


H = J x S
T1

“H” means the maximum amount available for the write-up of the AT1 Instruments and Distributions on AT1 Instruments that have been written down;

“J” means the annual profit determined or to be determined for the previous year;

“S” means the sum of the initial nominal amounts of the AT1 Instruments (i.e. before write-downs due to a Trigger Event are effected);

“T1” means the amount of the Tier 1 capital of the Issuer immediately before the write-up is effected.

“Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 241/2014 of 7 January 2014 supplementing Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to regulatory technical standards for Own Funds requirements for institutions,” as amended by Commission Delegated Regulations 2015/488, 2015/850 and 2015/923. The maximum amount “H” shall be determined by the Issuer in accordance with the requirements applicable at the time of determination, and the write-up shall be based on the amount so determined without requiring any amendment to this subparagraph (b).

(c) In total, the sum of the amounts of the write-ups of AT1 Instruments together with the amounts of any dividend payments and other Distributions on shares and other Common Equity Tier 1 instruments of the Issuer (including payment of interests and other Distributions on AT1 Instruments that have been written down) for the relevant financial year must not exceed the Maximum Distributable Amount.

(d) Write-ups of the PerpNC6 Notes do not have priority over dividend payments and other Distributions on shares and other Common Equity Tier 1 instruments of the Issuer, i.e. such payments and Distributions are permitted even if no full write-up has been effected.

(e) At the time of a write-up, there must not exist any Trigger Event that is continuing. A write-up is also excluded if such write-up would give rise to the occurrence of a Trigger Event.

If the Issuer elects to effect a write-up in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.12, it shall provide notice of its election to effect the write-up as of the relevant Interest Payment Date (including the amount of the write-up as a percentage of the initial nominal amount of the PerpNC6 Notes and the effective date of the write-up (in each case a “Write-up Date”)) no later than 10 calendar days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date to the Holders of the PerpNC6 Notes in accordance with Article 10, to the Calculation Agent, to the Paying Agent, to the other Agents, to the Trustee and, if required by the rules of any stock exchange on which the PerpNC6 Notes are listed from time to time at the request of the Issuer, to such stock exchange. The write-up shall be deemed to be effected at the time when the notice to the Holders is given in accordance with Article 10 and the nominal amount of each PerpNC6 Note in the Specified Denomination (including the Redemption Amount) shall be deemed to be increased by the amount specified in the notice with effect as of the Write-up Date.

(f) If the PerpNC6 Notes have been fully written down pursuant to Section 6.11, the Issuer agrees that prior to any instruction to write up the PerpNC6 Notes, it will enter into any agreements with the Trustee and the Agents necessary to effectuate such write up, including but not limited to a supplemental indenture. The Issuer shall arrange for all of the necessary documentation as required by the Depositary to effectuate such write-up.

(g) Neither the Trustee nor the Paying Agents will be liable with respect to (i) the calculation or accuracy of the Common Equity Tier 1 Capital Ratio in connection with the occurrence of a Trigger Event and the timing of such Trigger Event, (ii) the Issuer’s failure to post or deliver the underlying Common Equity Tier 1 Capital Ratio calculations of a Trigger Event to the Depositary or the Holders or (iii) any aspect of the Issuer’s decision to deliver a notice of a write-down.

In addition to the covenants set forth in Article 8 of the Base Capital Securities Indenture, the PerpNC6 Notes shall be subject to the additional covenants set forth in this Article 8 of this Supplemental Capital Securities Indenture.

Section 8.01 Taxation. All amounts payable in respect of the PerpNC6 Notes shall be paid without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes or duties of whatever nature imposed or levied by way of withholding or deduction by or in or for the account of the Federal Republic of Germany or any political subdivision or any authority thereof or therein having power to tax unless such withholding or deduction is required by law. In the event of such withholding or deduction on payment of interest (but not in respect of the payment of any principal in respect of the PerpNC6 Notes), the Issuer shall pay such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”), but only to the extent that such payment would not exceed the Issuer’s Available Distributable Items (as calculated and adjusted as described herein) as shall be necessary in order that the net amounts received by the Holders, after such withholding or deduction, shall equal the respective amounts which would otherwise have been receivable by the Holders in the absence of such withholding or deduction; except that no such Additional Amounts shall be payable on account of any taxes or duties which:

(a) are payable by any person acting as custodian bank or collecting agent on behalf of a Holder, or otherwise in any manner which does not constitute a deduction or withholding by the Issuer or the Paying Agent from payments of principal or interest made by it; or

(b) are payable by reason of the Holder having, or having had, some personal or business connection with Germany and not merely by reason of the fact that payments in respect of the PerpNC6 Notes are, or for purposes of taxation are deemed to be, derived from sources in, or are secured in, Germany; or

(c) are payable by reason of a change in a law or administrative practice that becomes effective more than 30 days after the relevant payment becomes due, or is duly provided for and notice thereof is published in accordance with Article 10, whichever occurs later; or

(d) are avoidable or would have been avoidable through fulfilment of statutory requirements or through the submission of a declaration of non-residence or by otherwise enforcing a claim for exemption vis à vis the relevant tax authority; or

(e) are deducted or withheld in respect of FATCA; or

(f) are deducted or withheld because the beneficial owner of the PerpNC6 Notes is not himself the legal owner (Holder) of the PerpNC6 Notes and the deduction or withholding in respect of payments to the beneficial owner would not have been made or the payment of Additional Amounts in respect of a payment to the beneficial owner in accordance with the above provisions could have been avoided if the latter had also been the legal owner (Holder) of the PerpNC6 Notes.

No Additional Amounts or any other amounts will be payable on account of any such withholding or deduction in respect of payments of principal.

For the avoidance of doubt, no Additional Amounts shall be payable in respect of (i) principal, interest or other amounts written down pursuant to a Resolution Measure, (ii) interest cancelled pursuant to Section 3.08 or (iii) principal written down pursuant to the terms Section 6.11.

Section 8.02 Written Statement to Trustee. The Issuer will furnish to the Trustee not less often than annually a brief certificate that complies with the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act (but which need not comply with Section 11.05 of the Base Capital Securities Indenture) from the principal executive, financial or accounting officer of the Issuer stating that in the course of the performance by the signer of his duties as an officer of the Issuer he would normally have knowledge of any default or non-compliance by the Issuer in the performance of any covenants or conditions contained in this Supplemental Capital Securities Indenture, stating whether or not he has knowledge of any such default or non-compliance and, if so, specifying each such default or non-compliance of which the signer has knowledge and the nature thereof.

The Issuer may from time to time, without the consent of the Holders, issue further PerpNC6 Notes having the same terms and conditions as the PerpNC6 Notes in all respects (or in all respects except for the issue date, interest commencement date and/or issue price) so as to form a single series with the PerpNC6 Notes. Any such additional PerpNC6 Notes, together with the PerpNC6 Notes, may constitute a single series of securities

under the Capital Securities Indenture, provided that if the PerpNC6 Notes constitute debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes and such additional PerpNC6 Notes have the same CUSIP, ISIN or other identifying number as the outstanding PerpNC6 Notes, such additional PerpNC6 Notes must either (i) be issued with no more than a de minimis amount of original issue discount for U.S. federal income tax purposes or (ii) be otherwise issued in a qualified reopening for U.S. federal income tax purposes. There is no limitation on the amount of PerpNC6 Notes or other debt securities that the Issuer may issue under this Supplemental Capital Securities Indenture or the Base Capital Securities Indenture.

Section 10.04 Notices to Holders. Notices to be given to Holders represented by the PerpNC6 Notes will be given only to the Depositary, as the registered Holder, in accordance with its applicable policies as in effect from time to time. Notices to be given in respect of the PerpNC6 Notes held in street name

will be given only to the bank, broker or other financial institution in whose name the PerpNC6 Notes are registered, and not the owner of any beneficial interests. Notices to be given to Holders of Physical Notes will be sent by mail to the respective addresses of the Holders as they appear in the register of the PerpNC6 Notes, and will be deemed given when mailed.

Notice by mail shall be made to each Holder’s address as that address appears in the register for the PerpNC6 Notes by first class mail, postage prepaid, and may be given by publication in an authorized newspaper in the English language and of general circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York; provided that notice may be made, at the option of the Issuer, through the customary notice provisions of the Depositary or systems through which beneficial interests in the PerpNC6 Notes are owned.

Where this Supplemental Capital Securities Indenture provides for notice to Holders, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder entitled thereto, at his last address as it appears in the register of the PerpNC6 Notes. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. Where this Supplemental Capital Securities Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

In case, by reason of the suspension of or irregularities in regular mail service, it shall be impracticable to mail notice to the Issuer or Holders of PerpNC6 Notes when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Supplemental Capital Securities Indenture, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice.

Any notice given pursuant to the terms of the PerpNC6 Notes or the Capital Securities Indenture will be deemed given or delivered, as the case may be, when such notice is mailed or otherwise transmitted (or first published, in the case of publication in a newspaper) pursuant to the terms of the PerpNC6 Notes and the Capital Securities Indenture.

Section 10.05 Failure to Comply with Notice Provisions not an Event of Default. No failure by the Issuer to comply with the notice provisions with respect to the PerpNC6 Notes or the Capital Securities Indenture shall constitute a default or an event of default under the terms of the PerpNC6 Notes or the Capital Securities Indenture and shall not give any right to accelerate the repayment of the principal of any PerpNC6 Note or to declare any PerpNC6 Note issued hereunder due and payable.

Section 10.06 Provision of Notice in Certain Circumstances. For the avoidance of doubt, notices to the Holders with respect to the imposition of a Resolution Measure, a cancellation of interest pursuant to Section 3.08 or a write-down pursuant to Section 6.11 shall be given directly by the Issuer to the Depositary. The Issuer may give the notice pursuant to Section 3.08(b) in substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto and the notice pursuant to Section 6.11(a) and Section 6.11(b) in substantially in the form of Exhibit B and Exhibit C hereto. The Issuer may also provide notice of any interest cancellation to the Trustee and the Paying Agent for informational purposes in substantially the form of Exhibit E.

Section 10.07 Luxembourg Stock Exchange. In addition, so long as the PerpNC6 Notes are listed on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, notices that the Issuer is required to publish on a website or a newspaper of general circulation pursuant to Luxembourg Stock Exchange rules shall be made available on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange’s website (www.bourse.lu).

ARTICLE 11

ADDITIONAL TIER 1 CAPITAL

The PerpNC6 Notes are intended to qualify as Additional Tier 1 Capital (zusätzliches Kernkapital) of the Issuer for an indefinite period of time.

ARTICLE 12

NO DEFAULTS OR EVENTS OF DEFAULT; REMEDIES

Section 12.01 No Defaults or Events of Default. There are no defaults or events of default under the PerpNC6 Notes, and under no circumstances may the Holders declare the principal amount of the PerpNC6 Notes and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable.

Section 12.02 No Acceleration. If the Issuer does not make payments of principal of, interest on, or other amounts owing under the PerpNC6 Notes (i) pursuant to the subordination provisions of the PerpNC6 Notes, (ii) due to a Resolution Measure, (iii) as a result of any cancellation of interest pursuant to Section 3.08 or (iv) as a result of any write-down pursuant to Section 6.11, the Issuer will not be in default, and none of the Trustee and the Holders shall be permitted to demand repayment of the PerpNC6 Notes. Moreover, in the event of a Resolution Measure, a cancellation of interest pursuant to Section 3.08 or a write-down pursuant to Section 6.11, the Holder of the PerpNC6 Notes may permanently lose the right to receive such payments. If the Issuer does not make payments of principal of, interest on, or other amounts owing under the PerpNC6 Notes when due for reasons other than (i) pursuant to the subordination provisions

of the PerpNC6 Notes, (ii) due to a Resolution Measure, (iii) as a result of any cancellation of interest pursuant to Section 3.08 or (iv) as a result of any write-down pursuant to Section 6.11, the Issuer will be in breach of its obligations under the Capital Securities Indenture. Nevertheless, neither the Trustee nor the Holders may demand repayment of the PerpNC6 Notes in any such case. Furthermore, if the Issuer becomes subject to German insolvency proceedings, the Trustee and Holder of the PerpNC6 Notes will have no right to file a claim against the Issuer unless the competent insolvency court allows the filing of subordinated claims.

Section 12.03 Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any non-payment of principal of, interest on, or other amounts owing under the PerpNC6 Notes (other than (i) pursuant to the subordination provisions of the PerpNC6 Notes, (ii) due to a Resolution Measure, (iii) as a result of any cancellation of interest pursuant to Section 3.08 or (iv) as a result of any write-down pursuant to Section 6.11), the Issuer shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee and the Paying Agent. In such case and subject to Section 2.03(c), the Trustee may proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders in accordance with the Capital Securities Indenture whether in connection with any Non-Payment Event under the terms of the Base Capital Securities Indenture or any breach by the Issuer of its obligations under the PerpNC6 Notes, the Capital Securities Indenture or otherwise, by such judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effective as directed by the Holders, provided that the Issuer shall not, as a result of the bringing of such judicial proceedings, be required to pay any amount representing or measured by reference to principal or interest on the PerpNC6 Notes prior to any date on which the principal of, or any interest on, the PerpNC6 Notes would have otherwise been payable.

[FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY]

§ 1

Currency, Denomination, Form, Book-Entry Provisions

(1)

General. This security is one of a duly authorized series (the “PerpNC6 Notes”) of Additional Tier 1 instruments (within the meaning of the CRR (as defined in § 3 (9))) of Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft (the “Issuer”). The PerpNC6 Notes are issued under a Capital Securities Indenture (as defined below), consisting of a base capital securities indenture, dated as of November 6, 2014, among the Issuer, The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Capital Securities Indenture), and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (“DBTCA”), as paying agent (the “Paying Agent”), calculation agent (the “Calculation Agent”), transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) and registrar (the “Registrar”) and authenticating agent (the “Authenticating Agent” and, together with the Paying Agent, the Calculation Agent, the Transfer Agent and the Registrar, the “Agents”) (the “Base Capital Securities Indenture,” as may be amended from time to time), a second supplemental capital securities indenture, dated as of July 25, 2019, among the Issuer, the Trustee, acting through its London Branch, and DBTCA, adding certain provisions to, and modifying certain provisions of, the Base Capital Securities Indenture, a fourth supplemental capital securities indenture, dated as of February 14, 2020, among the Issuer, the Trustee, acting through its London Branch, and DBTCA, adding certain provisions to, and modifying certain provisions of, the Base Subordinated Indenture (references to the “Base Capital Securities Indenture” herein shall mean the Base Capital Securities Indenture as amended by such second and fourth supplemental capital securities indenture), and a fifth supplemental capital securities indenture, dated as of February 14, 2020, among the Issuer, the Trustee, acting through its London Branch, and DBTCA (the “Supplemental Capital Securities Indenture” and, together with the Base Capital Securities Indenture, the “Capital Securities Indenture”), relating to the PerpNC6 Notes. Reference is hereby made to the Capital Securities Indenture for a complete and full statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities of the Issuer, the Trustee and the holders of the PerpNC6 Notes (the “Holders”) and the terms upon which the PerpNC6 Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The Issuer has appointed DBTCA, acting through its principal corporate trust office in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, as its Paying Agent, Calculation Agent, Transfer Agent and Registrar and Authenticating Agent. The term “Paying Agent” includes any additional or successor Paying Agent appointed by the Issuer with respect to the PerpNC6 Notes. To the extent not inconsistent herewith, the terms of the Capital Securities Indenture are hereby incorporated by reference herein.

(2)

Currency; Denomination. This series of PerpNC6 Notes of the Issuer is being issued in USD (the “Specified Currency”) in the aggregate nominal amount of U.S.$ 1,250,000,000 (in words: one billion two hundred fifty million U.S. dollars) in minimum denominations of U.S.$ 200,000 and integral multiples of U.S.$ 200,000 in excess thereof (the “Specified Denomination”).

(3)	Form. The PerpNC6 Notes are being issued in fully registered, global form without coupons (each, a “Global Security”).

(4)

Book-Entry Provisions for the Global Securities. This PerpNC6 Note shall be initially registered in the name of The Depository Trust Company, its nominees and their respective successors (the “Depositary”) (or a nominee thereof) and shall be delivered to the Registrar as custodian for such Depositary. Members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this PerpNC6 Note held on their behalf by the Depositary or the Registrar as its custodian, or under the Capital Securities Indenture, , and the Depositary may be treated by the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee as the absolute owner of this PerpNC6 Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall prevent the Issuer, the Trustee or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and the Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of any Holder.

Holder of PerpNC6 Notes. “Holder” means the registered holder of any PerpNC6 Note or, subject to Section 5.04 of the Supplemental Capital Securities Indenture, any holder of a proportionate co-ownership or other beneficial interest or right in the PerpNC6 Notes.

(5)	Exchange and Transfer. DBTCA has been appointed Registrar and Transfer Agent for this PerpNC6 Note, and DBTCA will maintain at its office in The City of New York a register for the registration and

B-6

transfer of PerpNC6 Notes. This PerpNC6 Note may be transferred at either the aforesaid New York office of DBTCA by surrendering this PerpNC6 Note for cancellation, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Registrar and duly executed by the registered Holder hereof in person or by the Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon the Registrar shall issue in the name of the transferee or transferees, in exchange herefor, a new PerpNC6 Note or PerpNC6 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 Registrar will not be required (i) to register the transfer of or exchange any PerpNC6 Note that has been called for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of PerpNC6 Notes being redeemed in part, (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any PerpNC6 Note if the Holder thereof has exercised his right, if any, to require the Issuer to repurchase such PerpNC6 Note in whole or in part, except the portion of such PerpNC6 Note not required to be repurchased, or (iii) to register the transfer of or exchange PerpNC6 Notes to the extent and during the period so provided in the Capital Securities Indenture with respect to the redemption of PerpNC6 Notes. PerpNC6 Notes are exchangeable at said offices for other PerpNC6 Notes of other authorized denominations of equal aggregate principal amount having identical terms and provisions. All such registrations, exchanges and transfers of PerpNC6 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 PerpNC6 Notes surrendered for exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Registrar and executed by the registered Holder in person or by the Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing. The date of registration of any PerpNC6 Note delivered upon any exchange or transfer of PerpNC6 Notes shall be such that no gain or loss of interest results from such exchange or transfer.

§ 2

Status

(1)	The PerpNC6 Notes are intended to qualify as Additional Tier 1 capital (zusätzliches Kernkapital) of the Issuer for an indefinite period of time.

(2)

The PerpNC6 Notes shall constitute unsecured and subordinated obligations of the Issuer, ranking pari passu among themselves and subject to applicable law from time to time, pari passu with all other equally subordinated obligations of the Issuer (as specified below). If Resolution Measures (as defined in § 2 (4)) are imposed on the Issuer, or in the event of the dissolution, liquidation, insolvency or composition of the Issuer, or if other proceedings are opened for the avoidance of insolvency of, or against, the Issuer, the obligations under the PerpNC6 Notes shall be fully subordinated to all obligations of the Issuer which do not also qualify as Additional Tier 1 Capital or as Common Equity Tier capital within the meaning of the CRR; in any such event, no amounts shall be payable in respect of the PerpNC6 Notes until all senior ranking obligations in accordance with this provision have been satisfied in full. Obligations which rank senior to the obligations under the PerpNC6 Notes include (i) all claims of unsubordinated creditors (as defined below) of the Issuer, (ii) the claims specified in Section 39(1) nos. 1 to 5 of the German Insolvency Code (Insolvenzordnung) (or any successor provision thereof), (iii) contractually subordinated obligations within the meaning of Section 39(2) of the German Insolvency Code (or any successor provision thereof) of the Issuer which do not qualify, from time to time, as own funds (within the meaning of the CRR), and (iv) the claims under Tier 2 instruments (within the meaning of the CRR (as defined in § 3 (9)) of the Issuer. Subject to the foregoing, the Issuer may satisfy its obligations under the PerpNC6 Notes also from other distributable assets (freies Vermögen) of the Issuer.

Subject to applicable law from time to time, claims under the PerpNC6 Notes will rank pari passu with the claims against the Issuer under its other instruments issued as, and qualifying from time to time as, Additional Tier 1 capital within the meaning of the CRR (defined below) and, as of the date of this PerpNC6 Note, the subordinated guarantee given by the Issuer in relation with the issuance by Deutsche Bank Contingent Capital Trust II of its U.S.$ 800,000,000 Non-cumulative Trust Preferred Securities (ISIN US25153X2080). The preceding list of subordinated guarantees may be amended from time to time as set out in the terms of the Capital Securities.

Upon the implementation into German law (as required by December 28, 2020) of Article 48(7) of the BRRD (as defined in § 3 (8)(c)(i)), claims against us under certain of the Issuer’s currently outstanding capital instruments, if and when they cease to qualify as Additional Tier 1 capital, are expected to rank senior to, and no longer pari passu with, claims against the Issuer under the PerpNC6 Notes.

B-7

The term “unsubordinated creditors” shall mean the holders of any indebtedness or other payment obligation of the Issuer that is not expressed to be subordinated by means of contractual agreement or as a matter of law (including claims against the Issuer under its unsubordinated non-preferred debt instruments within the meaning of Section 46f(6) sentence 1 of the German Banking Act (Kreditwesengesetz) (including obligations of the Issuer under any such debt instruments that were Issued by the Issuer before July 21, 2018 and that are subject to Section 46f(9) sentence 2 of the German Banking Act) or any successor provision thereof).

No Holder may set off his claims arising under the PerpNC6 Notes against any claims of the Issuer. No collateral or guarantee of whatever kind is, or shall at any time be, provided by the Issuer or any other person securing rights of the Holders under the PerpNC6 Notes, and any collateral or guarantee already provided or granted in the future in connection with the Issuer’s other liabilities may not be used for claims under the PerpNC6 Notes.

(3)

No subsequent agreement may limit the subordination pursuant to the provisions set out in § 2 (2) or shorten the term of the PerpNC6 Notes or any applicable notice period. If the PerpNC6 Notes are redeemed or repurchased by the Issuer otherwise than in the circumstances described in § 2 (2) or as a result of a redemption pursuant to § 5 (3), § 5 (4) or § 5 (5), then the amounts redeemed or paid must be returned to the Issuer irrespective of any agreement to the contrary unless the competent supervisory authority of the Issuer has given its consent to such redemption or repurchase. A termination or redemption of the PerpNC6 Notes pursuant to § 5 or a repurchase of the PerpNC6 Notes requires, in any event, the prior consent of the competent supervisory authority of the Issuer.

(4)

By subscribing for or otherwise acquiring this PerpNC6 Note, the Holders shall be bound by and shall be deemed to consent to the imposition of any Resolution Measure (as defined below) by the competent resolution authority. Under the relevant resolution laws and regulations as applicable to the Issuer from time to time, this PerpNC6 Note may be subject to the powers exercised by the competent resolution authority to:

(a)	write down, including write down to zero, the claims for payment of the principal amount, the interest amount or any other amount in respect of this PerpNC6 Note;

(b)

convert this PerpNC6 Note into ordinary shares of (i) the Issuer or (ii) any group entity or (iii) any bridge bank or other instruments of ownership of such entities qualifying as Common Equity Tier 1 capital (and the issue to or conferral on the holders (including the beneficial owners) of such ordinary shares or instruments); and/or

(c)	apply any other resolution measure, including, but not limited to, (i) any transfer of this PerpNC6 Note to another entity, (ii) the amendment of the terms and conditions of this PerpNC6 Note or (iii) the cancellation of this PerpNC6 Note;

(each, a “Resolution Measure”).

The term “group entity” shall mean an entity that is included in the corporate group subject to a Resolution Measure.

For the avoidance of doubt, any non-payment by the Issuer arising out of any such Resolution Measure will not constitute a Non-Payment Event under the terms of this PerpNC6 Note or the Capital Securities Indenture.

(5)	By its acquisition of this PerpNC6 Note, each Holder shall be deemed irrevocably to have agreed and does agree:

(a)	to be bound by, to acknowledge and to accept any Resolution Measure and any amendment, modification or variation of the terms and conditions of this PerpNC6 Note to give effect to any Resolution Measure;

(b)	that it will have no claim or other right against the Issuer arising out of any Resolution Measure; and

(c)	that the imposition of any Resolution Measure will not constitute a default or an event of default under (i) this PerpNC6 Note, (ii) the Capital Securities Indenture, or (iii) for the purpose of, but only to extent

B-8

permitted by the Trust Indenture Act as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”) (including, without limitation, Section 315(b) (Notice of Defaults) and Section 315(c) (Duties of the Trustee in Case of Default) of the Trust Indenture Act).

(6)

By its acquisition of this PerpNC6 Note, each Holder waives, to the fullest extent permitted by the Trust Indenture Act and applicable law, any and all claims against the Trustee and the Agents for, agrees not to initiate a suit against the Trustee or the Agents in respect of, and agrees that the Trustee and the Agents shall not be liable for, any action that the Trustee or any of the Agents takes, or abstains from taking, in either case in accordance with the imposition of a Resolution Measure by the competent resolution authority with respect to this PerpNC6 Note.

(7)

By its acquisition of this PerpNC6 Note, each Holder shall be deemed irrevocably to have (i) consented to the imposition of any Resolution Measure as it may be imposed without any prior notice by the competent resolution authority of its decision to exercise such power with respect to this PerpNC6 Note and (ii) authorized, directed and requested the Depositary and any direct participant in the Depositary or other intermediary through which it holds such Notes to take any and all necessary action, if required, to implement the imposition of any Resolution Measure with respect to this PerpNC6 Note as it may be imposed, without any further action or direction on the part of such Holders, the part of the Trustee or the part of the Agents.

(8)

Upon the imposition of a Resolution Measure by the competent resolution authority with respect to this PerpNC6 Note, the Issuer shall provide a written notice directly to the Holders in accordance with § 11 as soon as practicable regarding such imposition of a Resolution Measure for purposes of notifying Holders of such occurrence. The Issuer shall also deliver a copy of such notice to the Trustee and the Paying Agent for information purposes. Any delay or failure by the Issuer to give notice shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any Resolution Measure nor the effects thereof on the PerpNC6 Notes.

If the Issuer has elected to redeem this PerpNC6 Note but at any time prior to the payment of the redemption amount (i) the competent resolution authority has imposed a Resolution Measure with respect to the PerpNC6 Notes, (ii) a Trigger Event has occurred, (iii) the Issuer is either Overindebted or Illiquid (each as defined in § 5 (2)), or (iv) the Issuer would become Overindebted or Illiquid immediately following the payment of the redemption amount, then the relevant redemption notice shall be automatically rescinded and shall be of no force and effect, and no payment of the redemption amount will be due and payable.

(10)

Upon the imposition of any Resolution Measure by the competent resolution authority, the Trustee shall not be required to take any further directions from Holders of this PerpNC6 Note under Section 5.09 of the Base Capital Securities Indenture, which section authorizes Holders of a majority in aggregate outstanding principal amount of the PerpNC6 Notes to direct certain actions relating to the PerpNC6 Notes, and if any such direction was previously given under Section 5.09 of the Base Capital Securities Indenture to the Trustee by the Holders, it shall automatically cease to be effective, be null and void and have no further effect. The Capital Securities Indenture shall impose no duties upon the Trustee or the Agents whatsoever with respect to the imposition of any Resolution Measure by the competent resolution authority. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, following the completion of the imposition of a Resolution Measure by the competent resolution authority, this PerpNC6 Note remains outstanding (for example, if the imposition of a Resolution Measure results in only a partial write-down of the principal of this PerpNC6 Note), then the Trustee’s and the Paying Agent’s duties under the Capital Securities Indenture shall remain applicable with respect to the PerpNC6 Notes following such completion to the extent that the Issuer, the Trustee and the Agents agree pursuant to a supplemental indenture, unless the Issuer, the Trustee and the Agents agree that a supplemental indenture is not necessary.

(11)

For the avoidance of doubt, the potential write-down of all or a portion of the principal amount of the PerpNC6 Notes, or interest or other amounts in respect of the PerpNC6 Notes, or the conversion of the PerpNC6 Notes into ordinary shares or other instruments of ownership, or the exercise of any other Resolution Measure is separate and distinct from a write-down upon a Trigger Event (as defined in § 5 (9)) although such events might occur consecutively.

B-9

§ 3

Interest

(1)	Interest Payment Dates.

(a)

Subject to a cancellation of interest payments pursuant to § 3 (8) and a write-down pursuant to § 5 (9), the PerpNC6 Notes shall bear interest on their aggregate nominal amount in the period (each, an “Interest Period”) from February 14, 2020 (the “Interest Commencement Date”) (inclusive) to the first Interest Payment Date (exclusive), and thereafter from each Interest Payment Date (inclusive) to the next following Interest Payment Date (exclusive). The initial Interest Period will be a short interest accrual period. In the event of a write-down pursuant to § 5 (9)(b), the PerpNC6 Notes shall for the full respective Interest Period in which such write-down occurs only bear interest on the aggregate nominal amount which has been reduced accordingly; a potential write-up pursuant to § 5 (9)(c) which may occur on the relevant Interest Payment Date will not be taken into account for such Interest Period and will only become effective from the Interest Period commencing on the Interest Payment Date on which the write-up occurs.

(b)	“Interest Payment Date” means April 30^th in each year. The first Interest Payment Date is April 30, 2020 (short first interest period).

(c)	If any Interest Payment Date would otherwise fall on a day which is not a Business Day, it shall be postponed to the next day which is a Business Day. Holders shall not be entitled to further interest or other payment in respect of such postponement.

(d)	A Holder of a PerpNC6 Note at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding an Interest Payment Date (the “Regular Record Date”) shall be entitled to receive interest payable pursuant to § 3 (2) on such PerpNC6 Note on the corresponding Interest Payment Date.

(2)	Unless expressly provided otherwise below, the Rate of Interest (the “Rate of Interest”) for any Interest Period (as defined below) shall be

(a)	for the period from the Interest Commencement Date (inclusive) to the First Interest Reset Date (as defined in § 5 (5)) (exclusive) a fixed rate of 6.000 per cent. per annum, and

(b)

for the period from the First Interest Reset Date (inclusive), the greater of (i) the sum of the Treasury Yield plus the initial credit spread of 4.524 per cent (the “Spread”) and (ii) zero, as determined by the Calculation Agent; for the avoidance of doubt, the Spread represents the initial credit spread to such Treasury Yield (as defined below), and does not represent any step-up in the interest rate of the PerpNC6 Notes (the “Reset Rate”).

“Treasury Yield” means, in relation to any Reset Period,

(i)

the rate per annum corresponding to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity, that represents the average for the five consecutive New York Business Days ending on and including the applicable Determination Date, appearing in the most recent H.15, and that establishes yields on actively traded U.S. Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity, for five-year maturities from the next Reset Date, under the caption ‘‘Treasury Constant Maturities’’; or

(ii)

if there is no such published actively traded U.S. Treasury security with a maturity of five years from the next Reset Date, the rate determined by interpolation between the most recent weekly average yield to maturity for two series of U.S. Treasury securities trading in the public securities market, (A) one maturing as close as possible to, but earlier than,

B-10

the first Reset Date following the next succeeding Determination Date, and (B) the other maturing as close as possible to, but later than, the first Reset Date following the next succeeding Determination Date, in each case as published in the most recent H.15; or

(iii)

subject to the immediately succeeding paragraph, if the Treasury Yield cannot be determined pursuant to the methods described in clause (i) or (ii) above, the rate equal to the Treasury Yield for the last preceding Reset Period (or, in the case of the first Reset Period, the rate equal to the Initial Fall-Back Treasury Yield),

in each case, as determined by the Calculation Agent on the applicable Determination Date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Treasury Yield cannot be determined by the Calculation Agent for any Reset Period (such Reset Period, the “Affected Reset Period”) pursuant to the methods described in clause (i) or (ii) above, then the Replacement Rate Agent will determine in its sole discretion (acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner) whether to use an alternative rate for purposes of determining the Treasury Yield for the Affected Reset Period and each Reset Period thereafter. If the Replacement Rate Agent determines to use an alternative rate pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, it shall select such rate that it has determined in its sole discretion (acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner) is most comparable to the rate described in clause (i) in the definition of “Treasury Yield” (the “Existing Rate”), provided that if it determines that there is an appropriate industry-accepted successor rate to the Existing Rate, it shall use such industry-accepted successor rate. If the Replacement Rate Agent has determined an alternative rate in accordance with the foregoing (such rate, the “Replacement Rate”), for purposes of determining the Treasury Yield, (i) the Replacement Rate Agent shall in its sole discretion (acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner) determine (A) the method for obtaining the Replacement Rate (including any alternative method for determining the Replacement Rate if such alternative rate is unavailable on the relevant Determination Date), which method shall be consistent with industry-accepted practices for the Replacement Rate, and (B) any adjustment factor as may be necessary to make the Replacement Rate comparable to the Existing Rate consistent with industry-accepted practices for the Replacement Rate, (ii) references to the Treasury Yield herein shall be deemed to be references to the Replacement Rate, including any alternative method for determining such rate and any adjustment factor as described in sub-clause (i) above, (iii) if the Replacement Rate Agent in its sole discretion (acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner) determines that changes to the definitions of Business Day, Day Count Fraction or Determination Date are necessary in order to implement the Replacement Rate as the Treasury Yield, such definitions shall be deemed to have been amended for the purposes of this Fifth Supplemental Capital Securities Indenture and the PerpNC6 Notes, to reflect such implementation, and (iv) the Issuer shall give notice as soon as practicable to the holders in accordance with the Capital Securities Indenture and each of the Paying Agents specifying the Replacement Rate, as well as the details described in sub-clause (i) above and the amendments implemented pursuant to the Capital Securities Indenture.

By its acquisition of this PerpNC6 Note, each Holder shall be deemed irrevocably to have agreed and, subject to § 5 (9)(a), does agree:

(a)

to be bound by the Replacement Rate Agent’s determination of the Existing Rate or Replacement Rate, including without the need for the Issuer to obtain any further consent from such Holder;

(b)

to waive any and all claims, in law and/or in equity, against the Trustee, Calculation Agent or the Replacement Rate Agent;

B-11

(c)

not to initiate a suit against the Trustee, the Calculation Agent or the Replacement Rate Agent in respect of, and that none of the Trustee, the Calculation Agent or the Replacement Rate Agent will be liable for, the determination of or the failure to determine any Reset Rate, Existing Rate or Replacement Rate.

“H.15” means the statistical release designated as such, or any successor publication, published by the Board of Governors of the United States Federal Reserve System, and ‘‘most recent H.15’’ means, in respect of any Reset Period, the H.15 published closest in time but prior to the close of business on the second Business Day prior to the applicable Reset Date.

“Initial Fall-Back Treasury Yield” means the rate specified in the in the prospectus supplement dated February 11, 2020, relating to the PerpNC6 Notes, and the prospectus dated August 20, 2018, of the Issuer.

“Reset Date” means the First Interest Reset Date and any fifth anniversary of such date.

(3)

Interest Amount. The Calculation Agent will, forthwith after the determination of the Reference Rate, determine the applicable Rate of Interest and calculate the amount of interest payable on the PerpNC6 Notes in respect of the Specified Denomination (subject to § 5 (9)(b) (the “Interest Amount”) for the relevant Interest Periods. The Interest Amount shall be calculated by applying the Rate of Interest and the Day Count Fraction (as defined below) to the Specified Denomination and rounding the resultant figure to the nearest unit of the Specified Currency, with 0.5 of such unit being rounded upwards.

(4)

Notification of Rate of Interest and Interest Amount. The Calculation Agent will cause the Rate of Interest and the Interest Amount for the Interest Periods up to the next Reset Date to be notified (i) to the Issuer, to the Paying Agent, to the other Agents, to the Trustee and to the Holders in accordance with § 11 as soon as possible after their determination, but in no event later than the fourth Business Day thereafter and (ii), if required by the rules of any stock exchange on which the PerpNC6 Notes are listed from time to time at the request of the Issuer, to such stock exchange as soon as possible after their determination, but in no event later than the first day of the Interest Period in relation to which the relevant Rate of Interest and the relevant Interest Amount applies.

(5)

Determinations Binding. All certificates, communications, opinions, determinations, calculations, quotations and decisions given, expressed, made or obtained for the purposes of the provisions of this § 3 by the Calculation Agent shall (in the absence of manifest error) be binding on the Issuer, the Paying Agent and the Holders.

(6)

Accrual of Interest. The PerpNC6 Notes shall cease to bear interest from the beginning of the day on which they are due for redemption. If the Issuer shall fail to redeem the PerpNC6 Notes when due, interest shall continue to accrue on the outstanding aggregate nominal amount of the PerpNC6 Notes from the due date (inclusive) to the date of actual redemption of the PerpNC6 Notes (exclusive) at the default rate of interest established by law.

(7)	Day Count Fraction.

“Day Count Fraction” means with regard to the calculation of an Interest Amount on the PerpNC6 Notes for any period of time (the “Calculation Period”) the number of days in the Calculation Period divided by the actual number of days in the respective interest year (i.e. from April 30^th (inclusive)) in any year to the next April 30^th (exclusive).

B-12

(8)	Cancellation of Interest Payment.

(a)

Interest on the PerpNC6 Notes shall only be or become due and payable on an Interest Payment Date to the extent it has not been cancelled or deemed cancelled (in each case, in whole or in part) in accordance with the provisions set forth in this § 3 (8). To the extent any payment of interest that would otherwise have been paid has been cancelled or deemed cancelled, then the interest that would otherwise have been payable absent such cancellation shall not be due and payable and no Holder shall have any claim whatsoever in respect thereof. In addition, principal, interest or other amounts on this PerpNC6 Note shall only be or become due and payable to the extent that such amounts are not subject to any Resolution Measure. Any interest, principal or other amounts so cancelled or deemed cancelled (in each case, in whole or in part) pursuant to such sections shall not be due and shall not accumulate or be payable at any time thereafter, and Holders shall have no rights thereto or in connection therewith or any claim therefor and shall not be entitled to any additional interest or compensation as a result of or in connection with such cancellation or deemed cancellation. For the avoidance of doubt, any such cancellation or deemed cancellation (in whole or in part) will not constitute a Non-Payment Event under the terms of this PerpNC6 Note or the Capital Securities Indenture.

By its acquisition of this PerpNC6 Note, each Holder shall be deemed irrevocably to have agreed and, subject to § 5 (9)(a), does agree, that:

(i)

subject to § 5 (9)(a), interest is due and payable in respect of any period only if and to the extent that the Issuer has not exercised its sole discretion to cancel such payment, and no amount of interest shall become due and payable in respect of any such period to the extent that it has been (x) cancelled (in whole or in part) by the Issuer at the Issuer’s sole discretion pursuant to § 3 (8)(b), (y) cancelled (in whole or in part) pursuant to a Resolution Measure and/or (z) deemed cancelled (in whole or in part) pursuant to § 3 (8)(c);

(ii)

a cancellation or deemed cancellation of interest (in each case, in whole or in part) in accordance with the terms hereof and of the Capital Securities Indenture shall not constitute a default in payment or otherwise constitute a default under, or a breach of, the terms of this PerpNC6 Note or the Capital Securities Indenture; and

(iii)

subject to § 5 (9)(a), interest, principal or other amounts on this PerpNC6 Note shall only be or become due and payable in accordance with this § 3 (8)(a).

(b)

The Issuer has the right to cancel all or part of any payment of interest in its sole discretion and at any time. If the Issuer makes use of such right, it shall give notice to the Holders in accordance with § 11 without undue delay, but no later than on the relevant Interest Payment Date. Any failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of the cancellation and shall not constitute a default for any purpose. A notice which has not been given until the relevant Interest Payment Date shall be given without undue delay thereafter. Interest that is cancelled will not be due and will not accumulate or be payable at any time thereafter.

(c)	Payment of interest on the PerpNC6 Notes for the relevant Interest Period shall be excluded and cancelled (without prejudice to the exercise of sole discretion pursuant to § 3 (8)(b)):

(i)

to the extent that such payment of interest together with any additional Distributions (as defined in § 3 (9)) plus any write-ups in accordance with the terms of the PerpNC6 Notes or in respect of other Additional Tier 1 Instruments that are simultaneously planned or made or that have been made by the Issuer in the Issuer’s then current financial year on other capital instruments which, according to the CRR, qualify as Tier 1 instruments (as defined in § 3 (9))would exceed the Available Distributable Items (as defined in § 3 (9)), provided that, for such purpose, the Available Distributable Items shall be increased by (i) an amount equal to what has been accounted for as expenses for Distributions in respect of Tier 1 Instruments (including payments of interest on the PerpNC6 Notes) in the determination of the profit (Gewinn) on which the Available Distributable Items are based, and (ii) any supplemental amounts that may be included for the purposes of determining the amounts distributable on Additional Tier 1 instruments under the bank regulatory capital rules applicable to the Issuer from time to time; or

(ii)	if and to the extent that the Issuer’s competent supervisory authority orders that all or part of the relevant

B-13

payment of interest be cancelled or another prohibition of Distributions is imposed by law or an authority (including (i) a prohibition of Distributions in connection with the calculation of the maximum distributable amount within the meaning of Article 141(2) of Directive 2013/36/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2013 on access to the activity of credit institutions and the prudential supervision of credit institutions and investment firms, amending Directive 2002/87/EC and repealing Directives 2006/48/EC and 2006/49/EC (such Directive, as amended, supplemented or replaced from time to time, as “CRD”)) and as currently transposed into German law by Section 10i of the German Banking Act (such amount, the “Maximum Distributable Amount” or “MDA”), and upon their transposition into German law, (ii) a prohibition of Distributions in connection with the calculation of the leverage ratio related maximum distributable amount (“L-MDA”) pursuant to Article 141b(2) of the CRD, and (iii) the maximum distributable amount related to the minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities (“M-MDA”) pursuant to Article 16a(1) of Directive 2014/59/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of May 15, 2014 establishing a framework for the recovery and resolution of credit institutions and investment firms (including any provisions of regulatory law supplementing this Directive)(such Directive, as amended, supplemented or replaced from time to time, the “BRRD”)).

(d)

The Issuer has the right to use the funds from cancelled payments of interest without restrictions for the fulfilment of its own obligations when due. To the extent that payments of interest are cancelled, such cancellation includes all Additional Amounts (as defined in § 7(2)) payable pursuant to § 7(2). Any payments of interest which have been cancelled will not be made or compensated at any later date.

(9)	Definitions.

Early Redemption for Regulatory Reasons. Subject to the Redemption Conditions, the Issuer may redeem the PerpNC6 Notes, in whole but not in part, with the prior approval of the Issuer’s competent supervisory authority, at any time if there is a change in the regulatory classification of the PerpNC6

B-15

Notes that would likely result in (i) their exclusion in full or in part from the Issuer’s own funds within the meaning of the CRR (other than as a consequence of a write-down or conversion, as the case may be) or (ii) their reclassification as a lower quality form of the Issuer’s own funds than their classification at the time of their issuance, but only if the conditions of Article 78(4)(a) of the CRR are met, pursuant to which the Issuer’s competent supervisory authority may approve such a redemption if (a) it considers the change in the regulatory classification to be sufficiently certain and (b) the Issuer demonstrates to the satisfaction of the competent supervisory authority that the regulatory reclassification of the PerpNC6 Notes was not reasonably foreseeable at the time of their issuance.

The Issuer shall promptly notify the Holders, the Trustee and the Agents if a redemption notice is rescinded because of an event set forth in (i) to (iv) of the previous sentence, provided that such notice will not be a precondition for the invalidity of a redemption notice.

(7)

Redemption after Write-Up; Redemption Amount. The Issuer may exercise its ordinary redemption rights pursuant to § 5 (5) only if any write-downs pursuant to § 5 (9) have been fully written up. However, if this PerpNC6 Note is written down in whole or in part pursuant to a Resolution Measure, the Issuer shall be permitted to exercise its ordinary redemption right pursuant to § 5 (5) without subsequently writing up any such write-down.

Otherwise, the exercise of the redemption rights pursuant to § 5 (3), (4) and (5) shall be at the sole discretion of the Issuer.

“Redemption Amount” of each PerpNC6 Note, unless previously redeemed in whole or in part or

B-16

repurchased and cancelled, shall be the initial nominal amount of such PerpNC6 Note, unless such PerpNC6 Note is written down in whole or in part pursuant to a Resolution Measure, in which case the Redemption Amount shall be the nominal amount of the PerpNC6 Note after giving effect to such write-down. In the event that the Issuer redeems the PerpNC6 Notes in accordance with § 5 (3) or § 5 (4), the “Redemption Amount” of each PerpNC6 Note, unless previously redeemed in whole or in part or repurchased and cancelled, shall be the then current nominal amount of such PerpNC6 Note as reduced by any write-downs (including, but not limited to, any write-downs following a Trigger Event, and to the extent not made up for by write-up(s)).

(i)	subject to § 3 (8)(a), interest is not due and payable on any portions of the aggregate nominal amount of this PerpNC6 Note written down pursuant to § 5 (9)(b) (to the extent not subsequently written up pursuant to § 5 (9)(c));

(ii)

a write down of the nominal amount of this PerpNC6 Note (in whole or in part) in accordance with the terms hereof and of the Capital Securities Indenture shall not constitute a default in payment or otherwise constitute a default under, or a breach of, the terms of this PerpNC6 Note or the Capital Securities Indenture; and

(iii)

subject to § 3 (8)(a), interest or principal on this PerpNC6 Note shall only be or become due and payable on an Interest Payment Date or other relevant date to the extent the nominal amount of this PerpNC6 Note at the time of such payment has not been written down in accordance with § 5 (9)(b) (in whole or in part, and to the extent not subsequently written up pursuant to § 5 (9)(c)). Any interest, principal or other amounts unpaid as a result of a write-down (in whole or in part) in accordance with § 5 (9)(b) shall not be due and shall not accumulate or be payable at any time thereafter, and Holders shall have no rights thereto or in connection therewith or any claim therefor and shall not be entitled to any additional interest or compensation as a result of or in connection with such write-down. For the avoidance of doubt, any write-down (in whole or in part) pursuant to § 5 (9)(b) shall not constitute a Non-Payment Event under the terms of this PerpNC6 Note or the Capital Securities Indenture.

(b)	Upon the occurrence of a Trigger Event, the Redemption Amount and the nominal amount of each PerpNC6 Note shall be reduced by the amount of the relevant write-down.

A “Trigger Event” shall occur, if at any time, the Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio pursuant to Article 92 (1) (a) of the CRR or any successor provision, determined on a consolidated basis (the “Common Equity Tier 1 Capital Ratio”), falls below 5.125 per cent. Whether a Trigger Event has occurred shall be determined by the Issuer, its competent supervisory authority or any agent appointed for such purpose by the Issuer’s competent supervisory authority and such a determination shall be binding on the Holders.

B-17

Upon the occurrence of a Trigger Event, the Issuer shall:

(i)

inform the competent supervisory authority that is responsible for the Issuer and, in accordance with § 11, provide notice to the Trustee, the Agents and the Holders of the PerpNC6 Notes without undue delay about the occurrence of such Trigger Event and the fact that a write-down will have to be effected, and

(ii)

determine the write-down to be effected without undue delay, but not later than within one month (unless the competent supervisory authority of the Issuer shortens such period), and notify such write-down (i) to the competent supervisory authority, (ii) to the Holders of the PerpNC6 Notes in accordance with § 11, (iii) to the Calculation Agent and the Paying Agent, the other Agents and the Trustee and (iv), if required by the rules of any stock exchange on which the PerpNC6 Notes are listed from time to time at the request of the Issuer, to such stock exchange.

The write-down shall be deemed to be effected at the time when the notices pursuant to (a)(i) and (a)(ii) are given and the nominal amount of each PerpNC6 Note (including the Redemption Amount) in the Specified Denomination shall be deemed to be reduced at such time by the amount of such write-down. Any failure to give such notice shall not affect the effectiveness of, or otherwise invalidate, any write-down. A notice which has not been given shall be given without undue delay. To the extent that the write-down of any of the Issuer’s other Additional Tier 1 instruments is not effective for any reason, (i) the ineffectiveness of any such write-down shall not prejudice the requirement to effect a write-down of the PerpNC6 Notes and (ii) the ineffective write-down shall not be taken into account in determining the write-down amount of the PerpNC6 Notes.

A Trigger Event may occur on more than one occasion and the PerpNC6 Notes may be written down on more than one occasion.

(c)

After a write-down has been effected, the nominal amount and the Redemption Amount of each PerpNC6 Note, unless previously redeemed or repurchased and cancelled, may be written up in accordance with the following provisions of § 5 (9)(c) in each of the financial years of the Issuer subsequent to the occurrence of such write-down until the full initial nominal amount has been reached, to the extent that a corresponding annual profit (Jahresüberschuss, calculated in accordance with German law and accounting principles) is recorded and the write-up will not give rise to or increase an annual loss (Jahresfehlbetrag, calculated in accordance with German law and accounting principles). The write-up will occur with effect as of the Interest Payment Date (including) immediately following the financial year of the Issuer for which the above-mentioned annual profit (Jahresüberschuss) was determined.

Subject to the conditions (i) to (v) below, which may limit the extent of any write-up, it shall be at the discretion of the Issuer to effect a write-up. In particular, the Issuer may effect a write-up only in part or effect no write-up at all even if a corresponding annual profit is recorded and the conditions (i) to (v) are fulfilled.

(i)

To the extent that the annual profit determined or to be determined is to be used for a write-up of the PerpNC6 Notes (i.e. a write-up of the nominal amount and of the Redemption Amount) and of other instruments issued as Additional Tier 1 capital within the meaning of the CRR, the terms of which provide for a similar Trigger Event (also if such terms provide for a different Tier 1 capital ratio as trigger) (together with the PerpNC6 Notes the “AT1 Instruments”), and is available in accordance with (ii) and (iii) below, such write-up shall be effected pro rata in proportion to the initial nominal amounts of the instruments.

(ii)

The maximum total amount that may be used for a write-up of the PerpNC6 Notes and of other AT1 Instruments that have been written down and for the payment of interest and other Distributions on AT1 Instruments that have been written down shall be calculated, subject to the regulatory technical standards applicable at the time when the write-up is effected, in accordance with the following formula:

H = J x S

B-18

“H” means the maximum amount available for the write-up of the AT1 Instruments and Distributions on AT1 Instruments that have been written down;

“J” means the annual profit determined or to be determined for the previous year;

“S” means the sum of the initial nominal amounts of the AT1 Instruments (i.e. before write-downs due to a Trigger Event are effected);

“T1” means the amount of the Tier 1 capital of the Issuer immediately before the write-up is effected.

The maximum amount “H” shall be determined in accordance with the European Banking Authority’s regulatory technical standards as applicable from time to time, which are currently available in the “Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 241/2014 of 7 January 2014 supplementing Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to regulatory technical standards for Own Funds requirements for institutions,” as amended by Commission Delegated Regulations 2015/488, 2015/850 and 2015/923. The maximum amount “H” shall be determined by the Issuer in accordance with the requirements applicable at the time of determination, and the write-up shall be based on the amount so determined without requiring any amendment to this subparagraph (ii).

(iii)

In total, the sum of the amounts of the write-ups of AT1 Instruments together with the amounts of any dividend payments and other Distributions on shares and other Common Equity Tier 1 instruments of the Issuer (including payment of interests and other Distributions on AT1 Instruments that have been written down) for the relevant financial year must not exceed the Maximum Distributable Amount.

(iv)	Write-ups of the PerpNC6 Notes do not have priority over dividend payments and other Distributions on shares and other Common Equity Tier 1 instruments of the Issuer, i.e. such payments and Distributions are permitted even if no full write-up has been effected.

(v)	At the time of a write-up, there must not exist any Trigger Event that is continuing. A write-up is also excluded if such write-up would give rise to the occurrence of a Trigger Event.

If the Issuer elects to effect a write-up in accordance with the provisions of this § 5 (9)(c), it shall provide notice of its election to effect the write-up as of the relevant Interest Payment Date (including the amount of the write-up as a percentage of the initial nominal amount of the PerpNC6 Notes and the effective date of the write-up (in each case a “Write-up Date”)) no later than 10 calendar days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date to the Holders of the PerpNC6 Notes in accordance with § 11, to the Calculation Agent, to the Paying Agent, to the other Agents, to the Trustee and, if required by the rules of any stock exchange on which the PerpNC6 Notes are listed from time to time at the request of the Issuer, to such stock exchange. The write-up shall be deemed to be effected at the time when the notice to the Holders is given in accordance with § 11 and the nominal amount of each PerpNC6 Note in the Specified Denomination (including the Redemption Amount) shall be deemed to be increased by the amount specified in the notice with effect as of the Write-up Date.

(d)

Neither the Trustee nor the Paying Agent will be liable with respect to (i) the calculation or accuracy of the Common Equity Tier 1 Capital Ratio in connection with the occurrence of a Trigger Event and the timing of such Trigger Event, (ii) the Issuer’s failure to post or deliver the underlying Common Equity Tier 1 Capital Ratio calculations of a Trigger Event to the Depositary or the Holders or (iii) any aspect of the Issuer’s decision to deliver a notice of a write-down.

§ 7

Taxation

(1)

All payments in respect of this PerpNC6 Note are subject in all cases to (i) any applicable fiscal or other laws and regulations in the place of payment, but without prejudice to the terms described in § 7(2), and (ii) any withholding or deduction required pursuant to an agreement described in Section 1471(b) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”) or otherwise imposed pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code, (or any regulations or agreements thereunder or official interpretations thereof) or an intergovernmental agreement between the United States and another jurisdiction facilitating the implementation thereof (or any law implementing such an intergovernmental agreement) (collectively, “FATCA”).

(2)

All amounts payable in respect of the PerpNC6 Notes shall be paid without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes or duties of whatever nature imposed or levied by way of withholding or deduction by or in or for the account of the Federal Republic of Germany or any political subdivision or any authority thereof or therein having power to tax unless such withholding or deduction is required by law. In the event of such withholding or deduction on payment of interest (but not in respect of the payment of any principal in respect of the PerpNC6 Notes), the Issuer shall pay such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”), but only to the extent that such payment would not exceed the Issuer’s Available Distributable Items (as calculated and adjusted as described herein) as shall be necessary in order that the net amounts received by the Holders, after such withholding or deduction, shall equal the respective amounts which would otherwise have been receivable by the Holders in the absence of such withholding or deduction; except that no such Additional Amounts shall be payable on account of any taxes or duties which:

(a)	are payable by any person acting as custodian bank or collecting agent on behalf of a Holder, or otherwise in any manner which does not constitute a deduction or withholding by the Issuer or the Paying Agent from payments of principal or interest made by it; or

(b)	are payable by reason of the Holder having, or having had, some personal or business connection with Germany and not merely by reason of the fact that payments in respect of the PerpNC6 Notes are, or for purposes of taxation are deemed to be, derived from sources in, or are secured in, Germany; or

B-20

(f)	are payable by reason of a change in a law or administrative practice that becomes effective more than 30 days after the relevant payment becomes due, or is duly provided for and notice thereof is published in accordance with § 11, whichever occurs later; or

(g)	are avoidable or would have been avoidable through fulfilment of statutory requirements or through the submission of a declaration of non-residence or by otherwise enforcing a claim for exemption vis à vis the relevant tax authority; or

(h)	are deducted or withheld in respect of FATCA (as defined in §7 (1)); or

(i)

are deducted or withheld because the beneficial owner of the PerpNC6 Notes is not himself the legal owner (Holder) of the PerpNC6 Notes and the deduction or withholding in respect of payments to the beneficial owner would not have been made or the payment of Additional Amounts in respect of a payment to the beneficial owner in accordance with the above provisions could have been avoided if the latter had also been the legal owner (Holder) of the PerpNC6 Notes.

No Additional Amounts or any other amounts will be payable on account of any such withholding or deduction in respect of payments of principal.

For the avoidance of doubt, no Additional Amounts shall be payable in respect of (i) principal, interest or other amounts written down pursuant to a Resolution Measure, (ii) interest cancelled pursuant to § 3 (8) or (iii) principal written down pursuant to § 5 (9)(b).

§ 12

No Defaults or Events of Default; Remedies

(1)	Defaults; Events of Default. There are no defaults or events of default under this PerpNC6 Note, and under no circumstances may the Holders declare the principal amount of this PerpNC6 Note and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable.

(2)

If the Issuer does not make payments of principal of, interest on, or other amounts owing under this PerpNC6 Note (i) pursuant to the subordination provisions of the PerpNC6 Notes, (ii) due to a Resolution Measure, (iii) as a result of any cancellation of interest pursuant to § 3 (8) or (iv) as a result of any write-down pursuant to § 5 (9)(b), the Issuer will not be in default, and none of the Trustee and the Holders shall be permitted to demand repayment of this PerpNC6 Note. Moreover, in the event of a Resolution Measure, a cancellation of interest pursuant to § 3 (8) or a write-down pursuant to § 5 (9)(b), the Holder of this PerpNC6 Note may permanently lose the right to receive such payments. If the Issuer does not make payments of principal of, interest on, or other amounts owing under this PerpNC6 Note when due for reasons other than (i) pursuant to the subordination provisions of the PerpNC6 Notes, (ii) due to a Resolution Measure, (iii) as a result of any cancellation of interest pursuant to § 3 (8) or (iv) as a result of any write-down pursuant to § 5 (9)(b), the Issuer will be in breach of its obligations under the Capital Securities Indenture. Nevertheless, neither the Trustee nor the Holders may demand repayment of this PerpNC6 Note in any such case. Furthermore, if the Issuer becomes subject to German insolvency proceedings, the Trustee and Holder of this PerpNC6 Note will have no right to file a claim against the Issuer unless the competent insolvency court allows the filing of subordinated claims.

(3)

Upon the occurrence of any non-payment of principal of, interest on, or other amounts owing under this PerpNC6 Note (other than (i) pursuant to the subordination provisions of the PerpNC6 Notes, (ii) due to a Resolution Measure, (iii) as a result of any cancellation of interest pursuant to § 3 (8) or (iv) as a result of any write-down pursuant to § 5 (9)(b)), the Issuer shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee and the Paying Agent. In such case and subject to § 2 (6), the Trustee may proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders in accordance with the Capital Securities Indenture whether in connection with any Non-Payment Event under the terms of the Base Capital Securities Indenture or breach by the Issuer of its obligations under this PerpNC6 Note, the Capital Securities Indenture or otherwise, by such judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effective as directed by the Holders, provided that the Issuer shall not, as a result of the bringing of such judicial proceedings, be required to pay any amount representing or measured by reference to principal or interest on this PerpNC6 Note prior to any date on which the principal of, or any interest on, this PerpNC6 Note would have otherwise been payable.

(4)

By its acquisition of the PerpNC6 Notes, each Holder shall be deemed irrevocably to have agreed and does agree that (i) the imposition of a Resolution Measure by the competent resolution authority with respect to the PerpNC6 Notes (ii) a cancellation of interest pursuant to § 3 (8) or (iii) a write-down pursuant to § 5 (9)(b) shall not give rise to a default for purposes of Section 315(b) (Notice of Default) and Section 315(c) (Duties of the Trustee in Case of Default) of the Trust Indenture Act.

(5)

Other than the limited remedies specified in (2) and (3) above, no remedy against the Issuer shall be available to the Trustee or the Holders whether for the recovery of amounts owing in respect of this PerpNC6 Note or under the Capital Securities Indenture or in respect of any breach by the Issuer of its obligations under the Capital Securities Indenture or in respect of this PerpNC6 Note, except that the Trustee and the Holders shall have such rights and powers as they are required to have under the Trust Indenture Act, and provided that any payments are subject to the subordination provisions of the PerpNC6 Notes, any Resolution Measure, a cancellation of interest pursuant to § 3 (8) or a write-down pursuant to § 5 (9)(b).

§ 13

Other Currencies

If any amounts with respect to any instrument are not expressed in the functional currency of the Issuer, for the purposes of these PerpNC6 Notes and the Capital Securities Indenture such amounts will be converted into such functional currency at the then-prevailing exchange rate, as determined by the Issuer in its reasonable discretion, or such other procedure as provided by applicable regulations from time to time.

Re: Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft’s $1,250,000,000 Undated Non-cumulative Fixed to Reset Rate Additional Tier 1 Notes of 2020 (CUSIP: 251525 AX9, ISIN: US251525AX97) – Notice to DTC, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, Holders of the Occurrence of a Trigger Event

This notice is in relation to Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft’s (the “Company”) $1,250,000,000 Undated Non-cumulative Fixed to Reset Rate Additional Tier 1 Notes of 2020 (CUSIP: 251525 AX9, ISIN: US251525AX97) (the “Notes”) issued under a Capital Securities Indenture (as defined below), consisting of a base capital securities indenture, dated as of November 6, 2014, among the Company, The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the “Trustee”), and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (“DBTCA”), as paying agent, calculation agent, transfer agent and registrar and authenticating agent, a second supplemental capital securities indenture, dated as of July 25, 2019, among the Company, the Trustee, acting through its London Branch, and DBTCA, adding certain provisions to, and modifying certain provisions of, the Base Capital Securities Indenture, a fourth supplemental capital securities indenture, dated as of February 14, 2020, among the Company, the Trustee, acting through its London Branch, and DBTCA, adding certain provisions to, and modifying certain provisions of, the Base Capital Securities Indenture, and a fifth supplemental capital securities indenture, dated February 14, 2020, among the Company, the Trustee, acting through its London Branch, and DBTCA, relating to the Notes (together, the “Capital Securities Indenture”), and pursuant to the prospectus supplement dated February 11, 2020, supplementing the prospectus dated August 20, 2018. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Capital Securities Indenture.

The Company hereby notifies the Depositary Trust Company (“DTC”), the Holders, the Trustee and DBTCA that a Trigger Event has occurred with respect to the Notes. A Trigger Event has occurred because the Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio pursuant to Article 92 (1) (a) of the CRR or any successor provision, determined on a consolidated basis, has fallen below 5.125 per cent.

Upon the occurrence of a Trigger Event, the terms of the Notes provide that the redemption amount and the nominal amount of the Notes will be reduced by the amount of the relevant write-down, as calculated in accordance with the Capital Securities Indenture.
