HOLDERS' MEETING AND RESOLUTIONS<br />

For certain Notes, the Final Terms may provide that the Conditions may be amended by the Issuer<br />

with consent of the Holders by way of a majority resolution in a Holders' meeting or by a vote not<br />

requiring a physical meeting (Abstimmung ohne Versammlung) in accordance with the German Act<br />

on Issues of Debt Securities of 5 August 2009, as amended (Schuldverschreibungsgesetz,<br />

"SchVG"). A majority resolution in accordance with the SchVG is binding for all Holders of the<br />

relevant series of Notes.<br />

Details on Holders' Meetings and resolutions for a specific Series of Notes will be described in the<br />

relevant Final Terms.<br />

The following sections provide an overview of the statutory provisions of the SchVG.<br />

(i) Overview of the SchVG<br />

The SchVG applies to debt securities "from an issue of identical debt securities"<br />

(Gesamtemission) which are governed by German law. Consequently, the SchVG is not<br />

limited to issuers with registered offices in Germany. The SchVG does not apply to debt<br />

securities for which the issuer or a joint obligor (Mitverpflichteter) is the Federal Republic of<br />

Germany, a German federal state (Land) or a municipality, or to covered bonds (gedeckte<br />

Schuldverschreibungen) within the meaning of the German Pfandbrief Act<br />

(Pfandbriefgesetz – "PfandBG").<br />

Under the new SchVG, it is possible to extensively change and therefore restructure the<br />

conditions (the so-called terms and conditions) of those debt securities to which the SchVG<br />

applies. Amendments to the terms and conditions of debt securities are only allowed if and<br />

to the extent the relevant terms and conditions themselves provide for such changes and<br />

only with the debtor's consent. Any amendments to terms and conditions are only binding<br />

in respect of the debt securities of a specific issuance.<br />

If the terms and conditions provide for the possibility of majority resolutions with binding<br />

effect on all securities holders, a joint representative for the securities holders may be<br />

appointed.<br />

(ii) Individual subjects of resolutions<br />

The SchVG does not provide an exclusive list of admissible amendments to the terms and<br />

conditions but provides an exemplary list. Individual subjects for resolutions may include:<br />

� amendments to the principal claim (due date, amount, currency, rank, debtors,<br />

object of performance);<br />

� amendments to or removal of ancillary conditions of the debt securities;<br />

� modification or waiver of a right of termination and removal of the effect of the<br />

collective right of termination;<br />

� substitution and release of security;<br />

� amendments to legal transactions with joint obligors; and<br />

� amendments to ancillary claims (due date, amount, exclusion, currency, rank,<br />

debtors, object of performance);<br />
