ENDGÜLTIGE BEDINGUNGEN
MiFID II PRODUCT GOVERNANCE / RETAIL INVESTORS TARGET MARKET Solely for the purposes of each
manufacturer's product approval process, the target market assessment in respect of the Notes has led to the
conclusion that: (i) the target market for the Notes is eligible counterparties, professional clients and retail clients,
each as defined in Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, "MiFID II"); and (ii) all channels for distribution of the
Notes are appropriate including investment advice, portfolio management, non-advised sales and pure execution
services. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Notes (a "distributor") should take into
consideration the manufacturers' target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to MiFID II is
responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Notes (by either adopting or
refining the manufacturers' target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels,
subject to the distributor's suitability and appropriateness obligations under MiFID II, as applicable.
MiFID II PRODUKTÜBERWACHUNGSPFLICHTEN / ZIELMARKT KLEINANLEGER - Die Zielmarktbestimmung im
Hinblick auf die Schuldverschreibungen hat ausschließlich für den Zweck des Produktgenehmigungsverfahrens
jedes Konzepteurs zu dem Ergebnis geführt, dass (i) der Zielmarkt für die Schuldverschreibungen geeignete
Gegenparteien, professionelle Kunden und Kleinanleger, jeweils im Sinne der Richtlinie 2014/65/EU (in der
jeweils gültigen Fassung, "MiFID II"), umfasst; und (ii) alle Kanäle für den Vertrieb der Schuldverschreibungen
angemessen sind einschließlich Anlageberatung, Portfolio-Management, Verkäufe ohne Beratung und reine
Ausführungsdienstleistungen. Jede Person, die in der Folge die Schuldverschreibungen anbietet, verkauft oder
empfiehlt (ein "Vertriebsunternehmen") soll die Beurteilung des Zielmarkts der Konzepteure berücksichtigen; ein
Vertriebsunternehmen, welches MiFID II unterliegt, ist indes dafür verantwortlich, seine eigene
Zielmarktbestimmung im Hinblick auf die Schuldverschreibungen durchzuführen (entweder durch die Übernahme
oder durch die Präzisierung der Zielmarktbestimmung der Konzepteure) und angemessene Vertriebskanäle nach
Maßgabe der Pflichten des Vertriebsunternehmens unter MiFID II im Hinblick Geeignetheit bzw. Angemessenheit,
zu bestimmen.

Day. The Holder shall not be entitled to any interest or other payment as a result of such postponement.
For those purposes, "Business Day" means any day which is a day (other than a Saturday or a Sunday) on
which the Clearing System as well as all relevant parts of the Trans-European Automated Realtime Gross

shall cease.
§ 5
REDEMPTION

Notes shall be redeemed at their Final Redemption Amount on 22 February 2024 (the "Maturity Date").
The "Final Redemption Amount" in respect of each Note shall be its principal amount.
(2) Early Redemption for Reasons of Taxation. If, as a result of a change in or amendment of legal
provisions, or any amendment to or change in the application or official interpretation of such legal
provisions, which change is effective on or after the date on which the last tranche of this series of Notes
was issued, the Issuer becomes obliged to pay additional amounts referred to in § 7(1) on the next
succeeding Interest Payment Date (as defined in § 3(1)), and this obligation cannot be avoided by the
use of measures available to the Issuer which are, in the judgement of the Issuer, reasonable, the Issuer
shall be entitled, upon not less than 30 and not more than 60 days' notice, to redeem prior to maturity
on the first day of each calendar month during the life of the Notes all, but not part only, of the
outstanding Notes at their Early Redemption Amount (as defined below), together with the interest
accrued to the date fixed for redemption. No redemption pursuant to this § 5(2) shall occur more than
one month prior to the date at which such change in, or amendment of, legal provisions becomes
applicable to the Notes for the first time.
A redemption by the Issuer pursuant to this § 5(2) shall be effected by irrevocable notice to the Holders
in accordance with § 12 and must state the date of redemption as well as a summary of the facts which
constitute the call right. Such notice can only be given after the Issuer provided the Fiscal Agent with a
statement, signed by as many authorized signatories as legally prescribed, to the effect that the Issuer
cannot, in its judgement, avoid the obligation by the use of measures available to the Issuer according
to this paragraph (2). In addition, before giving such notice, the Issuer must provide the Paying Agent
with a legal opinion, issued by a law firm of good standing, which states that the Issuer is obliged to

(3) Early Redemption at the Option of the Issuer.

person(s), at any time directly or indirectly own(s) or acquire(s) (whether or not approved by the
Management Board or Supervisory Board of the Issuer) (I) more than 50 per cent. of the issued
ordinary share capital of the Issuer or (II) such number of shares in the capital of the Issuer
carrying more than 50 per cent. of the voting rights exercisable at a general meeting of the
Issuer (each, a "Change of Control"); and
(ii) at the time of the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Notes or the Issuer carry a credit rating
requested by the Issuer from any of Moody's Investors Service Ltd. (Moody's) Standard & Poor's
Credit Market Services Europe Ltd. (Standard & Poor's), Fitch Ratings Ltd. (Fitch), or any of their
respective successors (each, a "Rating Agency") and such rating from at least two Rating
Agencies or, in the case of less than three ratings, of one Rating Agency is within 180 days of
such time either downgraded at least two notches or withdrawn and is not within such 180-day
period subsequently (in the case of a downgrade) upgraded to the credit rating the Notes or the
Issuer carried at the time of the occurrence of the Change of Control by at least one of those
Rating Agencies or, in the case of less than three ratings, by this Rating Agency or (in the case
of a withdrawal) replaced by the credit rating the Notes or the Issuer carried at the time of the
occurrence of the Change of Control from this or any other Rating Agency; and
(iii) in making the relevant decision(s) referred to above, the relevant Rating Agencies announce
publicly or confirm in writing to the Issuer that such decision(s) resulted, in whole or in part, from
the occurrence of the Change of Control.
(b) If a Put Event occurs, each Holder shall have the option to require the Issuer to redeem or, at the
Issuer's option, purchase (or procure the purchase of) its Notes at its principal amount together with
interest accrued to but excluding the Put Date in case of a Change of Control (as defined below)
(excluding). Such option shall operate as set out below.
(c) If a Change of Control occurs, within 21 days of the end of the 180 day period referred to in

accordance with § 12 specifying the nature of the Put Event and the procedure for exercising the
option contained in this § 5(4).
(d) To exercise the option to require the redemption or purchase of a Note under this § 5(4) the Holder

after a Put Event Notice is given, at the specified office of the Paying Agent accompanied by a duly
signed and completed notice of exercise in the form (for the time being current) obtainable from the
specified office of the Paying Agent (a "Put Notice in case of a Change of Control"). The Paying
Agent to which such Note(s) and Put Notice in case of a Change of Control are delivered will issue
to the Holder concerned a non-transferable receipt in respect of the Note so delivered. The Issuer
shall at its option redeem or purchase (or procure the purchase of) the relevant Note(s) on the date
6

(the "Put Date in case of a Change of Control") seven days after the expiration of the Put Period
unless previously redeemed or purchased and cancelled. Payment in respect of any Note(s) so
delivered will be made, if the Holder duly specified in the Put Notice in case of a Change of Control
a bank account to which payment is to be made, on the Put Date in case of a Change of Control by
transfer to that bank account and, in every other case, on or after the Put Date in case of a Change
of Control against presentation and surrender of such receipt at the specified office of the Paying
Agent. A Put Notice in case of a Change of Control, once given, shall be irrevocable.
(e) If the rating designations employed by any of Moody's, Standard & Poor's or Fitch are changed from
those which are described in paragraph (a)(ii), the Issuer shall determine the rating designations of
Moody's, Standard & Poor's or Fitch (as appropriate) as are most equivalent to the prior rating
designations of Moody's, Standard & Poor's or Fitch and paragraph (a)(ii) shall be read accordingly.
(f) If 80 per cent. or more of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding have been
redeemed or purchased pursuant to the provisions of this § 5(4), the Issuer may, on not less than
30 or more than 60 days' notice to the Holder given within 30 days after the Put Date in case of a
Change of Control, redeem, at its option, the remaining Notes as a whole at a redemption price of
the principal amount thereof plus interest accrued to but excluding the date of such redemption.
(5) Early Redemption Amount.
For purposes of subparagraph (2) of this § 5 and § 9, the Early Redemption Amount of a Note shall be
its Final Redemption Amount.
§ 6
THE FISCAL AGENT, THE PAYING AGENT
(1) Appointment; Specified Office. The initial Fiscal Agent and the initial Paying Agent and its initial specified
office shall be:
Fiscal Agent and Paying Agent:
Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft
Trust & Agency Services
Taunusanlage 12
60325 Frankfurt am Main
The Fiscal Agent and the Paying Agent reserve the right at any time to change its specified office to
some other specified office in the same country.
(2) Variation or Termination of Appointment. The Issuer reserves the right at any time to vary or terminate
the appointment of the Fiscal Agent or any Paying Agent and to appoint another Fiscal Agent or
additional or other Paying Agents. The Issuer shall at all times maintain a Fiscal Agent. Any variation,
termination, appointment or change shall only take effect (other than in the case of insolvency, when it
shall be of immediate effect) after not less than 30 nor more than 45 days' prior notice thereof shall
have been given to the Holders in accordance with § 12.
(3) Agent of the Issuer. The Fiscal Agent and the Paying Agent act solely as the agents of the Issuer and
do not assume any obligations towards or relationship of agency or trust for any Holders.
§ 7
TAXATION
(1) Withholding Taxes. All payments of principal and interest will be made without any withholding at source
or deduction at source of any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of
whatever kind which are imposed, levied or collected by or in or on behalf of the Federal Republic of
Germany or by or on behalf of a regional or local authority empowered to impose taxes therein
("Withholding Taxes") unless this is required by law. In that event, the Issuer will pay such additional
amounts as may be necessary to ensure the payment to the Holders of the full nominal amount of
principal and interest. The tax on interest (Kapitalertragsteuer) and the solidarity surcharge do not
constitute such Withholding Tax as described above.
7

The Issuer shall, however, not be obliged to pay any additional amounts on account of such Withholding
Taxes:
(a) which are payable on payments of principal and interest otherwise than by deduction or withholding
at source; or
(b) to which the Holder is subject for any reason other than the mere fact of its being a holder of Notes
or receiving principal or interest in respect thereof, in particular if the Holder is subject to such taxes,
duties or governmental charges because of a personal unrestricted or restricted tax liability or if the
Holder for the purposes of the relevant tax laws is regarded as an individual or corporate resident
in another member state of the European Union; or
(c) are deducted or withheld pursuant to (i) any European Union Directive or Regulation concerning the
taxation of interest income, or (ii) any international treaty or understanding relating to such taxation
and to which the Federal Republic of Germany or the European Union is a party, or (iii) any provision
of law implementing, or complying with, or introduced to conform with, such Directive, Regulation,
treaty or understanding.
Notwithstanding any other provisions contained herein, the Issuer shall be permitted to withhold or deduct
any amounts required by the rules of Sections 1471 through 1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (or
any amended or successor provisions), pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement or implementing
legislation adopted by another jurisdiction in connection with these provisions, or pursuant to any
agreement with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service ("FATCA withholding") as a result of a holder, beneficial
owner or an intermediary that is not an agent of the Issuer not being entitled to receive payments free of
FATCA withholding. The Issuer will not have any obligation to pay additional amounts or otherwise indemnify
a holder for any such FATCA withholding deducted or withheld by the Issuer, the Paying Agent or any other
party.
(2) Issuer's Corporate Seat. If the Issuer moves its corporate seat to another country or territory or
jurisdiction, each reference in these Terms and Conditions to the Federal Republic of Germany shall be
deemed to refer to such other country or territory or jurisdiction.
§ 8
PRESENTATION PERIOD
The presentation period provided in section 801 paragraph 1, sentence 1 BGB (German Civil Code) is
reduced to ten years for the Notes.
§ 9
EVENTS OF DEFAULT
(1) Events of default. Each Holder is entitled to declare its Notes due and to demand immediate redemption
at the Early Redemption Amount (as described in § 5), together with the interest accrued up to (but
excluding) the day of actual redemption, if:
(a) the Issuer is in default for more than 30 days in the payment of interest, principal or any additional
amounts payable pursuant to § 7(1) on the Notes; or

continues for more than 45 days after the Fiscal Agent has received written notice thereof from a
Holder; or
(c) the Issuer or any Material Subsidiary, as the case may be, fails to fulfil one or more payment
obligations in an amount of not less than Euro 50,000,000 arising from any Bond Issue or from any
guarantee or indemnity given in respect of any Bond Issue and such default continues for more than
30 days after notice thereof is given to the Fiscal Agent by a Holder, or any such payment obligation
becomes due prematurely by reason of any default of the Issuer or any Material Subsidiary, as the
case may be, or a security granted for any such payment obligation is enforced; or
8

(d) the Issuer or any Material Subsidiary, as the case may be, stops payments or announces that it is
not in a position to meet its financial obligations; or
(e) insolvency proceedings are opened against the Issuer and such proceedings are instituted and have
not been discharged or stayed within 60 days after institution, or the Issuer applies for institution of
or institutes such proceedings; or

cease to carry on business or (ii) a resolution is passed or an order of a court of competent
jurisdiction is made that the Issuer be wound up or dissolved or (iii) enters into liquidation, in each
case unless this is done in connection with a merger or other form of combination with another

Agent and a written notice in which there shall be stated the aggregate principal amount of the Notes
declared due.
