DEUTSCHE BANK AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT

The Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate are part of a duly authorized issue of Warrants issued by the Bank pursuant to a warrant agreement, dated as of November 15, 2007, as supplemented by the First Amendment to the Warrant Agreement, dated as of January 1, 2015, the Second Amendment to the Warrant Agreement, dated as of January 1, 2016 and the Third Amendment to the Warrant Agreement, dated as of July 21, 2018 (as may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Warrant Agreement”), between the Bank and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (the “Warrant Agent”) and are subject to the terms and provisions contained in the Warrant Agreement, to all of which terms and provisions each Warrantholder consents by acceptance of this Warrant Certificate or a beneficial interest therein and which Warrant Agreement is hereby incorporated by reference in and made a part of this Warrant Certificate. Without limiting the foregoing, all capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Warrant Agreement. A copy of the Warrant Agreement is on file at the Warrant Agent’s Office. The Warrants constitute a separate series of Warrants under the Warrant Agreement.

The Warrants are unsecured contractual obligations of the Bank and will rank equally and pari passu with the Bank’s other unsecured contractual obligations and with the Bank’s unsecured and unsubordinated debt, subject to any statutory priority regime of the jurisdiction of the Bank’s incorporation (or, in the case of Warrants issued by the Bank through a branch, of the 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.

Subject to the provisions hereof and the Warrant Agreement, each Warrant may be exercised during the dates of exercise set forth on the face hereof by delivering or causing to be delivered this Warrant Certificate, the Exercise Notice, duly completed and executed, and the Exercise Property for each such Warrant to the Warrant Agent’s Window, in Jacksonville, Florida, which is, on the date hereof:

or at such other address as the Warrant Agent may specify from time to time.

Each Warrant entitles the Warrantholder to receive, upon exercise, the [Cash Settlement Value] [Put Price]⁶ per Warrant set forth on the face hereof.

_____________________

⁶ Only if the terms of the Warrants contemplate that the holder may deliver Warrant Property to exercise 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;

(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 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 this Warrant

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

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.
