DISCLAIMER

as to the action you should take, you are recommended to seek your
own financial advice, including as to any tax consequences, from
your stockbroker, bank manager, solicitor, accountant or other
independent financial, tax or legal advisor. Any individual or
company whose Notes are held on its behalf by a broker, dealer,

entity if it wishes to sell such Notes. None of the Company or
Deutsche Bank makes any recommendation whether Noteholders should
sell Notes.
OFFER AND DISTRIBUTION RESTRICTIONS
The distribution of this announcement in certain jurisdictions
may be restricted by law. Persons into whose possession this
announcement comes are required by the Company and Deutsche Bank to

accepted from Noteholders) in any circumstances in which such offer
or solicitation is unlawful.
