In addition, resolutions not affecting the contents of the terms and conditions of the debt<br />

securities may be passed on the subjects below:<br />

� exchange of the debt securities for other debt securities or shares; and<br />

� appointment, duties and removal of a joint representative.<br />

(iii) Relevant Majorities of the SchVG<br />

Any resolutions which materially alter the terms and conditions, in particular in the cases<br />

as listed in Section 5 para. 3 sentence 1 nos. 1-9 SchVG, require a majority of at least 75%<br />

of the votes participating in the vote ( a "Qualified Majority"). The terms and conditions<br />

may also require higher majorities for certain measures. All other resolutions may generally<br />

be passed with a simple majority of 50% of the participating votes. The relevant terms and<br />

conditions may also require a higher majority for certain measures.<br />

(iv) Procedures of the SchVG<br />

Resolutions of the securities holders are either passed in a securities holders' meeting or<br />

by way of a vote without a meeting (Section 9 ff and Section 18 SchVG).<br />

Securities holders who together hold 5% of the outstanding nominal amount of debt<br />

securities of the same series may demand in writing that a securities holders' meeting or a<br />

vote without a meeting will take place. In the event of a securities holders' meeting, a prior<br />

registration of the securities holders may be required for participation in the meeting or any<br />

vote.<br />

(v) Joint representative (gemeinsamer Vertreter)<br />

A joint representative may be appointed in the terms and conditions of the debt securities<br />

or by way of a majority resolution passed by the securities holders' meeting. If at the same<br />

time rights are assigned to the joint representative, thereby enabling it to consent to<br />

material amendments to the terms and conditions on behalf of the securities holders, the<br />

appointment requires a Qualified Majority.<br />

The securities holders may at any time and without reason terminate the appointment of<br />

the joint representative by majority resolution with a simple majority. The joint<br />

representative is bound by the securities holders' instructions (which are based on the<br />

relevant majority resolutions).<br />

Any individual or competent legal entity may be appointed as joint representative, provided<br />

that, for the avoidance of conflicts of interest, certain disclosure requirements are to be met<br />

and certain persons are excluded from an appointment in the terms of conditions.<br />

The duties and rights of the joint representative are determined by the SchVG, any<br />

resolutions of the securities holders or the original terms and conditions of the debt<br />

securities.<br />

To the extent that the exercise of securities holders' rights has been transferred to the joint<br />

representative, the securities holders themselves may not assert these rights, unless the<br />

terms and conditions or a majority resolution of the securities holders provide otherwise.<br />

However, a joint representative appointed by the terms and conditions may not be granted<br />

the right to waive rights of the securities holders, and material amendments to the terms<br />

and conditions within the meaning of Section 5 para. 3 sentence 1 nos. 1-9 SchVG<br />

furthermore require at least a resolution passed by a Qualified Majority.<br />
