Allianz and Commerzbank signed a Transaction Agreement on August 31, 2008 (deed of the Civil Law Notary Klaus
Peter Weber, Frankfurt am Main, notarial document register no 2186/2008) (Transaction Agreement (old)) which envisaged a merger of Dresdner Bank Aktiengesellschaft (Dresdner Bank) and Commerzbank in two stages
as follows:

Under this agreement Allianz was initially to contribute  as part of a mixed non-cash capital contribution  an interest of
60.1938% in Dresdner Bank (after deducting own shares currently held by Dresdner Bank amounting to around 7.0596% of its authorized share capital, and hence 55.9444% of the total authorized share capital of Dresdner Bank) to Commerzbank, and receive
as consideration Commerzbank shares, all shares held indirectly by Commerzbank in Cominvest Asset Management GmbH (Cominvest Germany), COMINVEST Asset Management S.A. (Cominvest Luxembourg), Münchener
Kapitalanlage AG (MK AG) and MK Luxinvest S.A. (MK Lux, all companies together referred to as the Cominvest Companies), and a cash payment. After completion of the capital increase Dresdner
Bank was to be merged into Commerzbank.

Allianz and Commerzbank have now agreed to execute the transaction in such a way that Allianz will sell its
interest in Dresdner Bank completely to Commerzbank in the first stage of the transaction with the result that Commerzbank is then able to execute the merger of Dresdner Bank and Commerzbank if possible via an intra-group merger.

The Parties therefore agree to amend the Transaction Agreement (old) and its schedules (where necessary) as follows (Transaction Agreement (amended)):

PREAMBLE



|1. | The Allianz Group is one of the worlds largest financial services providers and a market leader in insurance and asset management in Germany and Europe.
|-- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dresdner Bank is a German stock corporation (Aktiengesellschaft) with its registered office in Frankfurt, the shares
of which are 100%-owned by Allianz via Allianz Finanzbeteiligungs GmbH (74.0384%), AZ-Asopos Vermögensverwaltungsgesellschaft oHG (18.1551%) and Allianz Lebensversicherungs-Aktiengesellschaft (0.7469%) (together hereinafter referred to as
the Allianz Companies). Dresdner Bank currently holds 7.0596% of its own shares, which are held in a blocked custody account; Allianzs consent is required for any disposal over said shares.



|2. | Measured by total assets, Dresdner Bank Group is one of Germanys leading banks and is the group-wide banking business competence centre for Allianz. Allianz Group has entered
into a comprehensive sales cooperation partnership with Dresdner Bank in Germany in respect of insurance and banking products (bancassurance and assurbanking), and asset management products.
|-- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a draft translation that is provided as a courtesy. Only the German version of the document is legally

|3. | Commerzbank Group is Germanys second-largest bank by total assets. Commerzbank Aktiengesellschaft, the ultimate group holding company, is a German stock corporation with its
registered office in Frankfurt. Commerzbanks shares are admitted for trading on several German stock exchanges and are almost entirely in the free float.
|-- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Commerzbank operates its asset management business (except for business with open-ended real estate funds and closed funds) via Commerzbank Asset
Management Holding GmbH (Cominvest Holding), a 100%-owned subsidiary, which acts as a holding company for all Commerzbank Groups German asset management business.



|4. | Allianz and Commerzbank intend to merge Commerzbank and Dresdner Bank (Dresdner Bank) into Commerzbank (new) (Commerzbank (new)). As a result
of this merger, Allianz shall become a major shareholder of Commerzbank (new) with the intention of retaining a long-term interest in Commerzbank (new).
|-- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|5. | The merger shall not include banking interests held indirectly by Dresdner Bank in Banco Popular Espanol, S.A., Spain; Bank Pekao S.A., Poland; or Industrial and Commercial Bank of
China Limited, China, including Dresdner Banks 13.2% interest in Allianz Investments I Luxembourg S.à.r.l. (formerly Puxian Investments S.à.r.l.), and Dresdner Banks interest in Oldenburgische Landesbank AG
(OLB), and ADEUS Aktienregister Service GmbH (together the Dresdner Bank Interests). As these Dresdner Bank interests are not essential for the business model to be pursued by Commerzbank (new), it is intended
 as with the property at Pariser Platz, Berlin  to transfer them to Allianz.
|-- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The transfer of the Cominvest
Companies shall not include the 4.81% interest in Capital Investment Trust Corporation, Taipeh, held by Cominvest Deutschland. This interest will be transferred to Commerzbank at book value.



|6. | After completion of this transaction, Commerzbank (new) intends to focus on activities in the Private and Business Customers, Mittelstand, and Central and Eastern Europe segments,
along with Corporates & Markets (investment banking and public finance) and Commercial Real Estate, while creating a platform for further growth within Germany and internationally.
|-- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|7. | The ongoing development of the bancassurance and asset management sales cooperation partnership successfully built up between Allianz and Dresdner Bank is to be an integral part of
the business model of Commerzbank (new).
|-- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|8. | With this transaction, Allianz and Commerzbank aim to proactively shape consolidation in the German banking sector  which is desirable  to their mutual benefit and to
create a leading institution in the German banking market.

A.

MERGER OF DRESDNER BANK AND COMMERZBANK

INTO COMMERZBANK (NEW)

I.

Structure and objectives of the
transaction

§ 1

Basic structure



|1.1 | To enable the complete merger of Commerzbank and Dresdner Bank, Allianz will, in a non-cash capital increase from approved capital at Commerzbank, contribute 537,257,149 shares of
Dresdner Bank (Dresdner Bank Shares) (corresponding to the entire authorized capital of Dresdner Bank after deducting own shares currently held by Dresdner Bank amounting to around 7.0596% of its authorized share capital) in
return for the issue of Commerzbank shares, the transfer of all shares held directly or indirectly by Commerzbank in the Cominvest Companies, and a cash payment (Contribution).
|--- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Commerzbank intends, upon completion of the Contribution, to merge Dresdner Bank as the transferring entity into Commerzbank as the transferee entity
pursuant to the provisions of the German Reorganization Act (§ 2 para. 1, no. 1 UmwG) (Intra-group Merger). In connection herewith the Parties are agreed that the Intra-group Merger shall not be completed before the
migration of Allianz clients to New Bank (cf. § 2.4 including Schedule 2.4), provided the Intra-group Merger can be registered in such a process by the end of March 31, 2009. The Parties agree that the Agreement in Principle
concluded between Commerzbank and Dresdner Bank with the involvement of Allianz (deed of the Civil Law Notary Klaus Peter Weber, Frankfurt am Main, notarial document register no. 2187/2008) shall remain in force and it is the understanding of the
Parties that the Agreement in Principle  in the Allianz/Commerzbank relationship  is to be read in a way that takes this Transaction Agreement (amended) into account.



|1.2 | Both Parties agree that the merger shall not include the Dresdner Bank interests to be transferred; these are therefore to be transferred from Dresdner Bank Group to Allianz (or a
company related to Allianz within the meaning of §§ 15 et seq. of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG)) prior to Completion of the Contribution in accordance with the main points set out in Schedule 1.2 of the
Transaction Agreement (old).

|1.3 | The Parties are agreed that the property at Pariser Platz 5a/6, Berlin (Land Register (Grundbuch) Berlin Mitte, volume 11, sheet 256 N), owned by Dresdner Bank, shall in
accordance with the main points set out in Schedule 1.3 of the Transaction Agreement (old) (except for the purchase price, which is now EUR 65,665,000.00 instead of EUR 54,723,284.96) be transferred to Allianz (or a company
related to Allianz within the meaning of §§ 15 et seq. German Stock Corporation Act) prior to Completion of the Contribution and that Allianz (or the acquiring company) shall enter into a commercial lease with Dresdner Bank in respect
of the premises used by Dresdner Bank in this property in accordance with the main points also set out in Schedule 1.3 of the Transaction Agreement (old).

§ 2

Future strategic alignment of Commerzbank (new) in banking
business

and as sales partner of Allianz Group



|2.1 | The company arising from the merger of Dresdner Bank and Commerzbank Commerzbank (new) shall be a leading German bank and is to be developed as a platform for further
growth within Germany and internationally. Commerzbank (new) shall therefore exploit opportunities for growth that present themselves, with particular attention being paid to strengthening its sales operation.
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A key factor in the alignment of Commerzbank (new) as a leading German bank is the formation of a comprehensive, long-term strategic sales partnership
between Allianz and Commerzbank (new) in bancassurance and asset management.



|2.2 | Its interest in Commerzbank (new) represents a value-based investment for Allianz. Commerzbank and Allianz are therefore, with the merger of Dresdner Bank and Commerzbank, pursuing
a long-term and sustained increase in the value of Commerzbank (new) through such things as the realization of synergy potential and the formation of the strategic sales partnership.
|--- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|2.3 | Based on the current divisions and segments of Commerzbank and Dresdner Bank, the strategic positioning of Commerzbank (new) is intended to focus on the Private and Business
Customers, Mittelstand and Central and Eastern European segments in accordance with the business model described below. Commerzbank (new) is to be active in the Corporates & Markets (investment banking and public finance) and Commercial
Real Estate segments. After the sale of the Cominvest Companies, Asset Management (except for business with open-ended real estate funds and closed funds) is to be supported via the strategic sales cooperation partnership with Allianz Global
Investors.
|--- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 2.3.1 | Private and Business Customers: The Private Customers segment is to be a cornerstone of the profitability of Commerzbank (new) and a core area for further growth. The aim is
to be a leading bank for private customers in Germany.
| | ----- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The combination of Commerzbank and Dresdner Bank will create Germanys leading retail bank by
earnings, branches and active customers. To this end, the sales and related back-office activities of Commerzbank and Dresdner Bank in retail and private banking will be combined under one brand. This will enable correspondingly high levels of
potential synergies to be achieved. While retaining a strong sales presence geographically, the sales network will be optimized by streamlining larger sales units where they are in close proximity to each other. The units comdirect bank
Aktiengesellschaft, Allianz Dresdner Bauspar AG, and the joint venture with CETELEM S.A. are to remain part of the new entity until further notice.

Under the currently foreseeable overall conditions, the new segment will continue to pursue an expansionary path, coupled with ongoing attractive returns. This applies equally for the branch network business with Retail and Private Banking
customers and for direct banking business.

Additional growth impetus will come from the cooperation of Allianz and Commerzbank (new) in
bancassurance.



| | 2.3.2 | Bank to the Mittelstand: The Mittelstand segment is another core profitability driver of Commerzbank (new) and a central area for further growth. The aim is to be the leading bank
for the German Mittelstand.
| | ----- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To this end, the sales and related back-office activities of Dresdner Bank und Commerzbank in
this segment will be combined and enhanced in line with the Commerzbank business model under one brand. In the process, customer portfolios and the related sales model will be structured in line with the current Commerzbank model, i.e. customer
portfolios from Dresdner Bank PCC and Dresdner Bank Investment Banking will be allocated to the segment. In addition, the two partners networks of representative offices, foreign commercial business, business with emerging market financial
institutions, and transaction services and international corporate banking business that does not come under Corporates & Markets will be combined in this segment. These measures open the path toward realizing potential synergies.

Under the currently foreseeable overall conditions, the intention is to adopt an expansion strategy in the future as well, coupled with
ongoing high returns. This applies particularly for Mittelstand business in Germany.

| | 2.3.3 | Central and Eastern Europe: The Central and Eastern Europe segment is to be one of the central core areas of growth for Commerzbank (new). The aim is to become one of
the key players among foreign banks in the region.
| | ----- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dresdner Banks existing activities in Central and Eastern Europe
will be integrated into Commerzbank (new). In countries where parallel Commerzbank (new) and Allianz activities exist or are being developed, the intention is to build up collaboration possibilities between the Parties.

The planned expansion will be driven forward by organic growth and external additions. The organic growth will result from the further development of
existing business activities and the regional roll-out of business models already successful in other countries (e.g. m-Bank). The growth initiatives will focus on business in retail and corporate banking. Regional emphases will be determined in
line with specific country rankings, which take account of market appeal, economic and political stability, and so on.



| | 2.3.4 | Commercial Real Estate: The Commercial Real Estate segment will remain a core segment of Commerzbank (new). However, the strategy to be pursued will be to reduce risk
and risk-weighted assets and further enhance the segments profitability.
| | ----- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dresdner Banks existing activities in
Commercial Real Estate will be integrated into Commerzbank (new). This will mainly involve transferring existing CRE portfolios from Dresdner Bank to Commerzbank.

To achieve the desired reduction in risk-weighted assets and risk, existing non-core activities (e.g. legacy portfolios from the Eurohypo merger) will be systematically scaled back. In addition, within core
activities, selected country portfolios (e.g. Spain, UK, and Germany) will be structurally reduced. The ongoing expansion initiatives in Asia and CEE will have to be offset by reductions in resources in the above sub-portfolios. As reopening of the
secondary markets can be expected in the mid term, the buy and manage portfolio approach used to date will in principle be continued. However, in generating new business, even more rigorous risk/return considerations will have to be
taken into account.



| | 2.3.5 | Corporates & Markets (investment banking including public finance): The Corporates & Markets segment is to be strategically realigned. The aim
is to build up a business model focused on the Banks core customer franchises, coupled with a significantly reduced ratio of risk and risk weighted assets to capital.
| | ----- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Investment banking

In the Corporates & Markets segment, the new investment banking unit brings together the offerings for capital-market oriented companies and the
capital market activities of Commerzbank and Dresdner Bank. The new units business model is focused on customer-oriented business. The focus will be on corporate finance activities (M&A, ECM, DCM with focus on Germany), lending products
(corporate lending & transaction services for corporate customers, structured financing), equities (focus on equity derivatives, reduced cash equities product) and fixed income (leading trading & execution platform, the leading
partner for German customers, reduction credit trading). Proprietary trading activities and the acceptance of risk into the units own balance sheet will be scaled back. Duly identified sub-portfolios will be systematically reduced. The common
platform is to be characterized by high cost-efficiency and a sophisticated infrastructure. The new unit will have two main locations, in Frankfurt and London, supplemented by international sales locations. The product units will be flanked by the
relevant sales units, research teams and a C&M credit portfolio management team.

The size of the new investment banking unit will be
adjusted to suit the revised business model, i.e. significantly reduced compared with the current total number of units, with costs, risks and risk-weighted assets being substantially reduced, which at the same time will lead to ongoing reductions
in earnings. The reduction in the risk and risk-weighted assets position will unlock corresponding amounts of capital. After completion of the reorganization, the unit can be expected to achieve sustained, stable profitability, given normal capital
market conditions.

Public finance

Public finance business will in future no longer be an independent segment and will be structured under Corporates & Markets. The strategic realignment already begun, e.g. integration of Essenhyp into
Eurohypo, will be continued, with the focus on reducing risk-weighted assets and total assets and a consequent further scaling back of the overall risk position.

The existing public finance portfolios and activities of Dresdner Bank will be integrated into Commerzbank to achieve unified portfolio management.

To attain the target reductions in public finance, non-core portfolios, such as the financial institutions portfolio, are to be systematically reduced,
and the business model realigned toward a significantly lower level of risk-weighted assets and total assets. The extent to which higher-margin business, such as PPP finance, can be expanded to stabilize profitability must be examined.

Commerzbanks and Dresdner Banks treasury activities will be combined in the Groups
management platform and will not be allocated to any particular segment.



|2.4 | The concept of a comprehensive sales cooperation partnership in Germany in bancassurance and asset management successfully developed in the past by Allianz and Dresdner Bank to
their mutual benefit is to be continued between Allianz and Commerzbank (new) on a considerably broader basis; it will be enhanced and form an integral part of the expansion of Private Customer business right across the whole of Germany.
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To this end Allianz and Commerzbank (or their respective subsidiaries) signed long-term distribution agreements together with
the Transaction Agreement (old) on August 31, 2008.

The Parties shall endeavour to expand the sales cooperation partnership of
Commerzbank (new) and Allianz in bancassurance outside Germany in the countries where Commerzbank currently or in future has branch networks.

The Parties shall also hold amicable discussions on an investment by Allianz Group companies in Commerzbank Groups ETF-issuing company in Luxembourg.

The existing sales cooperation partnership between Allianz and Dresdner Bank in assurbanking shall in future be conducted directly by Allianz via a banking subsidiary. To this end, Dresdner Bank shall transfer the
customers allocated by Allianz under the assurbanking cooperation (Allianz Customers) and all the related material resources and employees within the time specified in § 1.1 of this agreement by way of a spin-off in
accordance with § 123 para. 3 German Reorganization Act or by any other means to an independent company (New Bank). In the event of a spin-off, Allianz (or a company related to Allianz within the meaning of
§§ 15 et seq. of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG)) shall acquire Dresdner Banks interest in New Bank after completion of the spin-off. The main points of the spin-off and/or the transfer by other means, the transfer of
the interest in New Bank from Dresdner Bank to Allianz, and all other associated measures and agreements are set out in Schedule 2.4 hereto.

§ 22

Amendments, additions, termination (including withdrawal and notice to terminate)

Amendments, supplements to or
termination (including by avoidance, withdrawal, notice to terminate, or agreement) of this Agreement, including amendments to this provision, shall be in writing, unless another form of communication is required by mandatory law (such as
certification by a notary).

§ 23

Other agreements by the Parties

The Transaction Agreement (old) and this Transaction Agreement (amended) as a
continuation thereof contains all agreements between the Parties on the subject matter governed herein and shall replace all oral and written negotiations, agreements and covenants previously made between the Parties on the subject matter hereof,
except for the Confidentiality Agreement referred to in § 17.1 hereof. No ancillary covenants to these Agreements exist, with the exception of documents expressly referred to in the Transaction Agreement (old) and in this Transaction
Agreement (amended).

§ 24

Severability

Should any individual provision(s) of this Agreement be or become invalid, this shall not effect the
validity of the remaining provisions. The Parties are aware of the ruling by the German Supreme Court, according to which a severability clause merely reverses the burden of proof. However, it is the express desire of the Parties to maintain the
validity of the other Agreement provisions under all circumstances and to waive § 139 of the German Commercial Code (BGB) in its entirety. In any such case, the unenforceable provision shall be replaced by whichever legal provision mostly
closely matches the original intent of the Parties or what their intent would have been if they had considered this point at the time they entered into the agreement. The same shall hold true with respect to any gap in the agreement.
