jurisdiction where the branch is established) that provides certain claims will be satisfied first in a resolution or German insolvency
proceeding with respect to the Bank.

The
terms and conditions set forth in the following paragraphs (a) – (k) shall apply to the Warrants, and by acquiring the Warrants
evidenced by this Warrant Certificate, the Registered Holder and each Beneficial Owner of the Warrants shall be bound by and shall
be deemed to consent to the imposition of any Resolution Measure by the competent resolution authority.

 

		(a)	Under
                                         the relevant resolution laws and regulations as applicable to the Bank from time to time,
                                         the Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate may be subject to the powers exercised
                                         by the competent resolution authority to:

 

		(i)	write
                                         down, including write down to zero, the claims for payment of any amount or, if applicable,
                                         claims for delivery of any property in respect of the Warrants;

 

		(ii)	convert
                                         the Warrants into ordinary shares of (i) the Bank or (ii) any group entity or (iii) any
                                         bridge bank or other instruments of ownership of such entities qualifying as common equity
                                         tier one capital (and issue to or confer on the Holders (including the Beneficial Owners)
                                         such ordinary shares or instruments); and/or

 

		(iii)	apply
                                         any other resolution measure, including, but not limited to, (A) any transfer of the
                                         Warrants to another entity, (B) the amendment, modification or variation of the terms
                                         and conditions of the Warrants or (C) the cancellation of the Warrants;

 

(each,
a “Resolution Measure”).

 

For
the avoidance of doubt, any non-payment or non-delivery by the Bank arising out of any such Resolution Measure will not constitute
a failure by the Bank under the terms of this Warrant Certificate or the Warrant Agreement to make a payment or delivery owing
under the Warrants. If any Warrants provide for delivery of any property, any reference in this Warrant Certificate or the Warrant
Agreement to payment by the Bank under the Warrants shall be deemed to include the delivery of such property.

 

		(b)	By
                                         its acquisition of the Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate, the Registered
                                         Holder and each Beneficial Owner of the Warrants shall be deemed irrevocably to have
                                         agreed:

 

		(i)	to
                                         be bound by, to acknowledge and to accept any Resolution Measure and any amendment, modification
                                         or variation of the terms and conditions of the Warrants to give effect to any Resolution
                                         Measure;

 

		(ii)	that
                                         it will have no claim or other right against the Bank arising out of any Resolution Measure;
                                         and

 

    5 

     

    

		(iii)	that
                                         the imposition of any Resolution Measure will not constitute a default under (A) the
                                         Warrants or (B) the Warrant Agreement.

 

		(c)	The
                                         terms and conditions of this Warrant Certificate shall continue to apply in relation
                                         to the residual notional amount of, or the amount due but unpaid in respect of, the Warrants,
                                         subject to any modification of the amount payable, if any, to reflect the reduction of
                                         the notional amount or amount due but unpaid in respect of the Warrants, and any further
                                         modification of the terms that the competent resolution authority may decide in accordance
                                         with applicable laws and regulations relating to the resolution of banks, banking group
                                         companies, credit institutions and/or investment firms incorporated in the Federal Republic
                                         of Germany.

 

		(d)	No
                                         payment of any amount (or delivery of any property, if applicable) thereon (to the extent
                                         of the portion thereof affected by the imposition of a Resolution Measure) shall become
                                         due and payable after the imposition of any Resolution Measure by the competent resolution
                                         authority, unless such payment or delivery would be permitted to be made by the Bank
                                         under the laws and regulations of the Federal Republic of Germany then applicable to
                                         the Bank.

 

		(e)	By
                                         its acquisition of the Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate, the Registered
                                         Holder and each Beneficial Owner of the Warrants waives, to the fullest extent permitted
                                         by applicable law, any and all claims against the Warrant Agent for, agrees not to initiate
                                         a suit against the Warrant Agent in respect of, and agrees that the Warrant Agent shall
                                         not be liable for, any action that the Warrant Agent takes, or abstains from taking,
                                         in either case in accordance with the imposition of a Resolution Measure by the competent
                                         resolution authority with respect to the Warrants.

 

		(f)	Upon
                                         the imposition of a Resolution Measure by the competent resolution authority with respect
                                         to the Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate, the Bank shall provide a written
                                         notice directly to the Warrantholders in accordance with Section 6.04 of the Warrant
                                         Agreement as soon as practicable regarding such imposition of a Resolution Measure by
                                         the competent resolution authority for purposes of notifying the Warrantholders of such
                                         occurrence. The Bank shall also deliver a copy of such notice to the Warrant Agent for
                                         information purposes, and the Warrant Agent shall be entitled to rely, and will not be
                                         liable for relying, on the competent resolution authority and the Resolution Measure
                                         identified in such notice. Any delay or failure by the Bank to give notice shall not
                                         affect the validity or enforceability of any Resolution Measure nor the effects thereof
                                         on the Warrants.

 

		(g)	If
                                         the Warrantholders have elected to exercise the Warrants, but the competent resolution
                                         authority has imposed a Resolution Measure with respect to the Warrants represented by

Certificate
prior to the payment or delivery of the cash settlement amount or Warrant Property for the Warrants, the exercise notice shall
be automatically rescinded and shall be of no force and effect, and no payment or delivery of the cash settlement amount or Warrant
Property for the Warrants will be due and payable or deliverable.

 

		(h)	The
                                         Warrant Agreement shall impose no duties, obligations or liabilities upon the Warrant
                                         Agent whatsoever with respect to the imposition of any Resolution Measure by the competent
                                         resolution authority. The Warrant Agent shall be fully protected in acting or refraining
                                         from acting in accordance with a Resolution Measure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if,
                                         following completion of the imposition of a Resolution Measure by the competent resolution
                                         authority, the Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate remain outstanding, then
                                         the Warrant Agent’s duties under the Warrant Agreement shall remain applicable
                                         with respect to the Warrants following such completion to the extent that the Bank and
                                         the Warrant Agent agree pursuant to an amendment to the Warrant Agreement, unless the
                                         Bank and the Warrant Agent agree that an amendment to the Warrant Agreement is not necessary.

 

		(i)	By
                                         the acquisition of the Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate, the Registered
                                         Holder and each Beneficial Owner of the Warrants shall be deemed irrevocably to have
                                         (i) consented to the imposition of any Resolution Measure as it may be imposed without
                                         any prior notice by the competent resolution authority of its decision to exercise such
                                         power with respect to the Warrants, (ii) authorized, directed and requested the Depositary
                                         and any direct participant in the Depositary or other intermediary through which it holds
                                         the Warrants to take any and all necessary action, if required, to implement the imposition
                                         of any Resolution Measure with respect to the Warrants as it may be imposed, without
                                         any further action or direction on the part of such Warrantholders of the Warrants or
                                         the Warrant Agent and (iii) acknowledged and accepted that the provisions contained in
                                         Article 3 of the Second Amendment to the Warrant Agreement are exhaustive on the matters
                                         described in Article 3 of the Second Amendment to the Warrant Agreement to the exclusion
                                         of any other agreements, arrangements or understandings between it and the Bank relating
                                         to the terms and conditions of the Warrants.

 

		(j)	If
                                         the competent resolution authority imposes a Resolution Measure with respect to less
                                         than the total outstanding notional amount of the Warrants, unless the Warrant Agent
                                         is otherwise instructed by the Bank or the competent resolution authority, any cancellation,
                                         write-off or conversion into equity made in respect of the Warrants pursuant to the Resolution
                                         Measure will be made on a substantially pro rata basis among the Warrants of any series.

 

		(k)	The
                                         Bank’s obligations to indemnify the Warrant Agent in accordance with Section 5.02
                                         of the Warrant Agreement shall

 

    7 

     

    

survive
the imposition of a Resolution Measure by the competent resolution authority with respect to the Warrants evidenced by this Warrant
Certificate.

 

If “Office
Substitution” is applicable to the Warrants as specified on the face hereof, the Bank may, without the consent of the Warrantholders,
designate another Office of the Bank as substitute for the Office through which the Bank has acted to issue the Warrants with
the same effect as if such substitute Office had been originally named as the Office through which the Bank had acted to issue
the Warrants for all purposes under the Warrant Agreement and the Warrants.  In order to give effect to such substitution,
the Bank shall give notice of such substitution to the Warrantholders of the Warrants.  With effect from the substitution
date, such substitute Office shall, without any amendment to this Warrant Certificate or the Warrant Agreement, assume all of
the obligations of the originally-named Office as principal obligor under the Warrants. “Office” means the
Bank’s head office or one of the Bank’s branch offices.

 

The Warrant
Agreement and the terms of the Warrants are subject to amendment as provided in the Warrant Agreement.

Certificate shall be governed by, and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, excluding choice of law

The Warrants

The
terms and conditions set forth in the following paragraphs (a) – (k) shall apply to the Warrants, and by acquiring the Warrants
evidenced by this Warrant Certificate, the Registered Holder and each Beneficial Owner of the Warrants shall be bound by and shall
be deemed to consent to the imposition of any Resolution Measure by the competent resolution authority.

 

		(a)	Under
                                         the relevant resolution laws and regulations as applicable to the Bank from time to time,
                                         the Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate may be subject to the powers exercised
                                         by the competent resolution authority to:

 

		(i)	write
                                         down, including write down to zero, the claims for payment of any amount or, if applicable,
                                         claims for delivery of any property in respect of the Warrants;

 

		(ii)	convert
                                         the Warrants into ordinary shares of (i) the Bank or (ii) any group entity or (iii) any
                                         bridge bank or other instruments of ownership of such entities qualifying as common equity
                                         tier one capital (and issue to or confer on the Holders (including the Beneficial Owners)
                                         such ordinary shares or instruments); and/or

 

		(iii)	apply
                                         any other resolution measure, including, but not limited to, (A) any transfer of the
                                         Warrants to another entity, (B) the amendment, modification or variation of the terms
                                         and conditions of the Warrants or (C) the cancellation of the Warrants;

 

(each,
a “Resolution Measure”).

 

For
the avoidance of doubt, any non-payment or non-delivery by the Bank arising out of any such Resolution Measure will not constitute
a failure by the Bank under the terms of this Warrant Certificate or the Warrant Agreement to make a payment or delivery owing
under the Warrants. If any Warrants provide for delivery of any property, any reference in this Warrant Certificate or the Warrant
Agreement to payment by the Bank under the Warrants shall be deemed to include the delivery of such property.

 

		(b)	By
                                         its acquisition of the Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate, the Registered
                                         Holder and each Beneficial Owner of the Warrants shall be deemed irrevocably to have
                                         agreed:

 

		(i)	to
                                         be bound by, to acknowledge and to accept any Resolution Measure and any amendment, modification
                                         or variation of the terms and conditions of the Warrants to give effect to any Resolution
                                         Measure;

 

    5

     

    

		(ii)	that
                                         it will have no claim or other right against the Bank arising out of any Resolution Measure;
                                         and

 

		(iii)	that
                                         the imposition of any Resolution Measure will not constitute a default under (A) the
                                         Warrants or (B) the Warrant Agreement.

 

		(c)	The
                                         terms and conditions of this Warrant Certificate shall continue to apply in relation
                                         to the residual notional amount of, or the amount due but unpaid in respect of, the Warrants,
                                         subject to any modification of the amount payable, if any, to reflect the reduction of
                                         the notional amount or amount due but unpaid in respect of the Warrants, and any further
                                         modification of the terms that the competent resolution authority may decide in accordance
                                         with applicable laws and regulations relating to the resolution of banks, banking group
                                         companies, credit institutions and/or investment firms incorporated in the Federal Republic
                                         of Germany.

 

		(d)	No
                                         payment of any amount (or delivery of any property, if applicable) thereon (to the extent
                                         of the portion thereof affected by the imposition of a Resolution Measure) shall become
                                         due and payable after the imposition of any Resolution Measure by the competent resolution
                                         authority, unless such payment or delivery would be permitted to be made by the Bank
                                         under the laws and regulations of the Federal Republic of Germany then applicable to
                                         the Bank.

 

		(e)	By
                                         its acquisition of the Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate, the Registered

                                         this Warrant Certificate prior to the payment or delivery of the cash settlement amount

		(h)	The
                                         Warrant Agreement shall impose no duties, obligations or liabilities upon the Warrant
                                         Agent whatsoever with respect to the imposition of any Resolution Measure by the competent
                                         resolution authority. The Warrant Agent shall be fully protected in acting or refraining
                                         from acting in accordance with a Resolution Measure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if,
                                         following completion of the imposition of a Resolution Measure by the competent resolution
                                         authority, the Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate remain outstanding, then
                                         the Warrant Agent’s duties under the Warrant Agreement shall remain applicable
                                         with respect to the Warrants following such completion to the extent that the Bank and
                                         the Warrant Agent agree pursuant to an amendment to the Warrant Agreement, unless the
                                         Bank and the Warrant Agent agree that an amendment to the Warrant Agreement is not necessary.

 

		(i)	By
                                         the acquisition of the Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate, the Registered
                                         Holder and each Beneficial Owner of the Warrants shall be deemed irrevocably to have
                                         (i) consented to the imposition of any Resolution Measure as it may be imposed without
                                         any prior notice by the competent resolution authority of its decision to exercise such
                                         power with respect to the Warrants, (ii) authorized, directed and requested the Depositary
                                         and any direct participant in the Depositary or other intermediary through which it holds
                                         the Warrants to take any and all necessary action, if required, to implement the imposition
                                         of any Resolution Measure with respect to the Warrants as it may be imposed, without
                                         any further action or direction on the part of such Warrantholders of the Warrants or
                                         the Warrant Agent and (iii) acknowledged and accepted that the provisions contained in
                                         Article 3 of the Second Amendment to the Warrant Agreement are exhaustive on the

 

    7

     

    

matters
described in Article 3 of the Second Amendment to the Warrant Agreement to the exclusion of any other agreements, arrangements
or understandings between it and the Bank relating to the terms and conditions of the Warrants.

 

		(j)	If
                                         the competent resolution authority imposes a Resolution Measure with respect to less
                                         than the total outstanding notional amount of the Warrants, unless the Warrant Agent
                                         is otherwise instructed by the Bank or the competent resolution authority, any cancellation,
                                         write-off or conversion into equity made in respect of the Warrants pursuant to the Resolution
                                         Measure will be made on a substantially pro rata basis among the Warrants of any series.

 

		(k)	The
                                         Bank’s obligations to indemnify the Warrant Agent in accordance with Section 5.02
                                         of the Warrant Agreement shall survive the imposition of a Resolution Measure by the
                                         competent resolution authority with respect to the Warrants evidenced by this Warrant
                                         Certificate.

 

If “Office
Substitution” is applicable to the Warrants as specified on the face hereof, the Bank may, without the consent of the Warrantholders,
designate another Office of the Bank as substitute for the Office through which the Bank has acted to issue the Warrants with
the same effect as if such substitute Office had been originally named as the Office through which the Bank had acted to issue
the Warrants for all purposes under the Warrant Agreement and the Warrants.  In order to give effect to such substitution,
the Bank shall give notice of such substitution to the Warrantholders of the Warrants.  With effect from the substitution
date, such substitute Office shall, without any amendment to this Warrant Certificate or the Warrant Agreement, assume all of
the obligations of the originally-named Office as principal obligor under the Warrants. “Office” means the
Bank’s head office or one of the Bank’s branch offices.

 

The Warrant
Agreement and the terms of the Warrants are subject to amendment as provided in the Warrant Agreement.

 

This Warrant Certificate shall
be governed by, and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, excluding choice of law provisions, except
as may otherwise be required by mandatory provisions of law.
