amount of Deferred Interest specified therein will become due and payable
(fällig), and the Issuer will be obliged to pay such amount of Deferred Interest on

any such laws, rules or regulations by any legislative body, court, go-
vernmental agency or regulatory authority (including the enactment of
any legislation and the publication of any judicial decision or regulatory
determination) which is enacted, promulgated, issued or becomes effec-
tive otherwise on or after the Issue Date; or

(iii)
any generally applicable official interpretation or pronouncement that

fers from the previous generally accepted position which is issued or an-
nounced on or after the Issue Date,

payments by the Issuer on the Bonds are no longer, or within 90 calendar days of

organisation to its equity credit criteria, or the interpretation or application the-
reof, for securities such as the Bonds, as such criteria are in effect on the Issue

changes than the equity credit that was or would have been assigned to the Bonds
prior to such changes by such recognised international statistical rating organisa-
tion pursuant to the criteria.

A Regulatory Event shall occur if

(i)
prior to the implementation of the Solvency II Directive

group solvency purposes or the solvency pursuant to the regula-
tions for financial conglomerates; or

the Competent Supervisory Authority issues further guidance in
relation to regulatory capital (howsoever described) at any time,
that the Issuer or the Munich Re Group is required for any regula-
tory capital purposes to have regulatory capital, and that the
Bonds would not be eligible to qualify for inclusion in the regula-
tory capital for single solvency or group solvency purposes or the
solvency pursuant to the regulations for financial conglomerates
at the time (save where such non-qualification is due only to any
applicable regulatory limit on the amount of such regulatory capi-
tal); or

(c)
the Competent Supervisory Authority has recognised the Bonds
as regulatory capital qualifying instruments for single solvency or
group solvency purposes or the solvency pursuant to the regula-
tions for financial conglomerates and at a subsequent time the
Competent Supervisory Authority states in writing to the Issuer
that the Bonds (in whole or in part) no longer fulfil the require-
ments for regulatory capital for single solvency or group solvency
