6

2.4Partial Cross-Series Modification. Even if a proposed cross-series modifications is not
approved in relation to a reserved matter in accordance with Section 2.2, but would have
been approved if the proposed modification had involved only these German Government
securities and other series, that modification will be deemed to have been approved in

(a) prior to the record date, the German Government has publicly notified holders of the
conditions of such a partial cross-series modification; and
(b) these conditions are satisfied.
2.5Non-Reserved Matter Modification. Modifications of the issuance terms and conditions

2.6Multiple Currencies, Index-Linked German Government securities, and Zero-Coupon
Obligations. In determining whether the holders of these German Government securities and
of the German Government securities of other series have approved a proposed modification
with the requisite majority, the following will apply:
(a) if the modification involves German Government securities denominated in more than
one currency, their nominal value will be equal to the euro amount calculated using the
applicable foreign exchange reference rate for the record date published by the
European Central Bank;
(b) if the modification involves an index-linked German Government security, the nominal
value will be equal to its adjusted nominal value;
(c) if the modification involves a zero-coupon obligation that did not formerly constitute a
component part of an index-linked German Government security, the nominal value will
be equal to its redemption amount or, if its stated maturity date has not yet occurred, to
the present value of its redemption value;
(d) if the modification involves a zero-coupon obligation that formerly constituted a
component part of an index-linked German Government security, the nominal value will
equal
(i) in case of zero-coupon obligations that formerly constituted the right to receive a non-
index-linked payment of principal or interest, their adjusted redemption amount or, if
the stated maturity date of the non-index-linked payment has not yet occurred, to the
present value of its redemption value; and
(ii) in case of zero-coupon obligations that formerly constituted the right to receive an
index-linked payment of principal or interest, their adjusted redemption amount or, if
the stated maturity date of the index-linked payment has not yet occurred, to the
present value of its redemption value; and
(e) For purposes of this Section 2.6:
(i) the adjusted redemption value of any index-linked German Government securities
and any of their component parts is the amount that would be due if its stated
maturity date was the record date based on the value of the related index on the
record date published by the German Government, if there is no such published
7

value, on the interpolated value of the related index on the record date determined in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the index-linked German Government
security; in no event will the adjusted redemption value of such index-linked German
Government security or component part be less than its redemption value unless the
terms and conditions of the index-linked German Government security provide that
the amount of the payment made on such index-linked German Government security
or component part may be less than its redemption value; and
(ii) the present value of a zero-coupon obligation is determined by discounting the
nominal value (or, if applicable, the adjusted nominal value) of that zero-coupon
obligation from its stated maturity date to the record date at the specified discount
rate using the applicable market interest calculation convention, where the specified
discount rate is:
(x) if the zero-coupon obligation was not formerly a component part of a German
Government security that expressly provided for the accrual of interest, the yield
to maturity of that zero-coupon obligation at issuance or, if more than one tranche
of that zero-coupon obligation has been issued, the yield to maturity of that zero-
coupon obligation at the weighted average of all the issue prices of all the zero-
coupon obligations of that series of zero-coupon obligations; and
(y) if the zero-coupon obligation was formerly a component part of a German
Government security that expressly provided for the accrual of interest:
(1) the coupon on that German Government security if that German Government
security can be identified; or
(2) otherwise, the arithmetic average of all the coupons on all of the German
Government securities of the German Government (weighted by their
redemption value) referred to below that have the same stated maturity date
as the zero-coupon obligation to be discounted, or, if there are no such
German Government securities, the coupon interpolated for these purposes
on a linear basis using all of the German Government securities (weighted by
their redemption value) referred to below that have the two closest maturity
dates to the maturity date of the zero-coupon obligation to be discounted,
where the German Government securities to be used for this purpose are all
of the index-linked German Government securities obligations if the zero-
coupon obligation to be discounted was formerly a component part of an
index-linked German Government security and all of the German
Government securities (index-linked German Government securities and
zero-coupon obligations excepted) if the zero-coupon obligation to be
discounted was not formerly a component part of an index-linked German
Government security, and in either case are denominated in the same
currency as the zero-coupon obligation to be discounted.
2.7Outstanding German Government securities. In determining whether holders of the
requisite nominal value outstanding these German Government securities have voted in
favour of a proposed modification or whether a quorum is present at any meeting of holders,
German Government securities will be deemed to be not outstanding, and thus neither to be
entitled to vote nor to be capable of being taken into account in determining whether a
quorum is present, if on the record date the German Government securities
(a) have previously been cancelled or delivered for cancellation, or held for reissuance but
not reissued;
8

(b) have properly been cal ed for redemption or previously become due and payable at the
stated times or otherwise and were properly redeemed; or
(c) are held by the German Government, by ministries or other agencies of the German
Government, by a corporation, a special fund (Sondervermögen) or other legal entity that
is controlled by the German Government or its agencies, and if the corporation, special
fund (Sondervermögen) or other legal entity has no autonomy of decision, where:
(i) the holder for these purposes is the entity legally entitled to vote or contractually
entitled to give voting instructions, directly or indirectly, to the legally entitled holder;
(ii) a corporation, special fund (Sondervermögen) or other legal entity is controlled by the
German Government or by its agencies if the German Government or its agencies
are entitled to give instructions to the management of the legal entity, or if the
German Government or its agencies can elect or otherwise appoint the majority of the
governing body or other bodies performing similar functions; these control rights by
the German Government can be based, directly or indirectly, on voting shares,
contractual arrangements, or any other legal grounds; and
(iii) a holder has autonomy of decision if, under applicable law and independent of any
potential direct or indirect obligation in relation to the German Government, in
exercising the voting right, the holder
(x) does not need to, either directly or indirectly, follow the instructions of the
German Government; or
(y) is required to act in accordance with an objective prudential standard in the
interest of its owners or other stakeholders or in the holder's own interest; or
(z) must act pursuant to a fiduciary or similar duty in the interest of one or more
persons; however, this person must not be an excluded holder under this
Section 2.7.
(d) Without limitation, the German Government securities that are deemed to not be
outstanding for purposes of these provisions do not include those the holders of which
are Deutsche Bundesbank, KfW banking group, or the European Central Bank.
2.8Outstanding German Government securities of other series. The determination whether
holders of the requisite (aggregate) nominal value of outstanding German Government
securities of another series have voted in favour of a proposed modification or whether a
quorum is present at any meeting of the holders, will be made in accordance with the
applicable terms and conditions of the relevant series.
2.9Entities Having no Autonomy of Decision. The German Government will publish without
undue delay following the announcement of any proposed modification of these German
Government securities, but in no event less than 10 calendar days prior to the record date, a
list identifying each corporation, special fund (Sondervermögen) and other legal entities that
for purposes of Section 2.7(c):
(a) are controlled by the German Government or its agencies;
(b) has in response to an enquiry reported to the German Government that they are holders
of these German Government securities; and
(c) do not have autonomy of decision.
2.10Exchange and Conversion. Following a properly approved modification of the
issuance terms and conditions, the German Government may exchange these German
Government securities for new German Government securities (with the modified issuance
9

terms and conditions) if this was announced to the holders prior to the record date. Any such
exchange will be binding on all holders.
3Calculation Agent
3.1Appointment and Responsibility. The German Government will appoint a person (the
"calculation agent") to calculate whether the holders of these German Government securities
and, in the case of a cross-series modification, the holders of German Government securities
of the other affected series have approved a proposed modification with the requisite
outstanding nominal value. In the case of a cross-series modification, the German
Government will appoint a joint calculation agent.
3.2Certificate. The German Government will provide a certificate to the calculation agent
and publish it prior to the date of the meeting of holders or the adoption of a written
resolution. This certificate will list, determined in accordance with the provisions of Section
2.6
(a) the nominal value of these German Government securities and, in the case of a cross-
series modification, the German Government securities of each other affected series
deemed outstanding on the record date for purpose of Section 2.7;
(b) the nominal value of these German Government securities and, in the case of a cross-
series modification, the German Government securities of each other affected series that
are deemed under Section 2.7 (c) to be not outstanding on the record date;
(c) the names of the holders of the German Government securities specified in (b) above.
3.3Legal Effect of the Certificate. The calculation agent may rely on any information
contained in the certificate provided by the German Government, and that information will be
conclusive and binding on the German Government and the holders unless:
(a) an affected holder delivers a substantiated written objection to the German Ministry of
Finance (Bundesministerium der Finanzen) in relation to the information contained in the
certificate before the vote at a meeting or the adoption of a written resolution; and
(b) that written objection, if sustained, would affect the outcome of the resolution.
An objection that is timely and duly delivered will nonetheless have no effect on the
certificate being conclusive and binding if:
(x) the objection is withdrawn;
(y) the holder that delivered the objection does not commence legal action before the court
of competent jurisdiction within 15 calendar days of the publication of the resolution; or
(z) the court of competent jurisdiction rules either that the objection was not substantiated or
that the alleged error in the information contained in the certificate could not have
affected the outcome of the resolution.
3.4Publication. The German Government will publish the results of the meeting of holders
or the written resolution as determined by the calculation agent without undue delay.
