(g) Each Underwriter (with the reasonable cooperation of the Company) shall file with the Commission any Free Writing Prospectus (other than a Free Writing Prospectus required to be delivered to the Company pursuant to Section 9(b)) that is neither an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus nor contains Issuer Information and that is used or referred to by such Underwriter or distributed by or on behalf of such Underwriter in a manner reasonably designed to lead to its broad, unrestricted dissemination not later than the date of the first use of such Free Writing Prospectus. (h) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9(g) hereof, each Underwriter (with the reasonable cooperation of the Company) shall file with the Commission any Free Writing Prospectus for which such Underwriter or any person acting on its behalf provided, authorized or approved information that is prepared and published or disseminated by a person unaffiliated with the Company or any other offering participant that is in the business of publishing, radio or television broadcasting or otherwise disseminating written communications and for which no payment was made or consideration given by or on behalf of the Company or any other offering participant, not later than four (4) business days after such Underwriter becomes aware of the publication, radio or television broadcast or other dissemination of such Free Writing Prospectus. (i) Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 9(e) (other than 9(e)(iii)), 9(g) and 9(h) hereof, neither the Company nor any Underwriter shall be required to file (A) Issuer Information contained in any Free Writing Prospectus of an Underwriter or any offering participant other than the Company, if such information is included or incorporated by reference in the Prospectus or a Free Writing Prospectus previously filed with the Commission that relates to the offering of the Offered Certificates, (B) any Free Writing Prospectus or portion thereof that contains a description of the Offered Certificates or the offering of the Offered Certificates which does not reflect the final terms thereof or (C) any Free Writing Prospectus that does not contain substantive changes from or additions to a Free Writing Prospectus previously filed with the Commission. (j) The Company and the Underwriters each agree that any Free Writing Prospectuses prepared by each such party shall contain the following legend: “The depositor filed a registration statement (including a prospectus) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (File No. 333-193376) for the offering to which this communication relates. Before you invest, you should read the prospectus in the registration statement and other documents the depositor has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for more complete information about the depositor, the issuing entity and this offering. You may get these documents for free by visiting XXXXX on the Securities and Exchange Commission website at xxx.xxx.xxx. Alternatively, the depositor, Deutsche Bank Securities, Inc., any underwriter or any dealer participating in this offering will arrange to send you the prospectus after filing if you request it by calling toll free 1-800-503-4611 or by emailing xxxxxxxxxx.xxxx@xx.xxx.” (k) The Company and the Underwriters each agree to retain all Free Writing Prospectuses that they have used and that are not required to be filed pursuant to this Section 9 for a period of three (3) years following the initial bona fide offering of the Offered Certificates. (l) In the event that the Company becomes aware, at any time between the Time of Sale or any Subsequent Time of Sale and the Closing Date, that any information in an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any Issuer Information contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein (when read in conjunction with the other applicable Time of Sale Information), in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (a “Defective Issuer Free Writing Prospectus”), the Company shall notify the Underwriters of such untrue statement or omission within one business day after discovery (except for any Underwriter that informed the Company of such untrue statement or omission) and the Company shall, if requested by the Underwriters, prepare and deliver to the Underwriters a Free Writing Prospectus that corrects the material misstatement or omission in the Defective Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (such corrected Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, a “Corrected Issuer Free Writing Prospectus”). In the event that, at any time between the Time of Sale or any Subsequent Time of Sale and the Closing Date, any Underwriter becomes aware that any Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus delivered thereby to an investor in any Offered Certificates contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein (when read in conjunction with the applicable Time of Sale Information), in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (a “Defective Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus” and, together with a Defective Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, a “Defective Free Writing Prospectus”), such Underwriter shall notify the Company of such untrue statement or omission within one business day after discovery (unless the Company was the party that informed such Underwriter of such untrue statement or omission) and the Underwriters shall, if requested by the Company: (i) if the Defective Free Writing Prospectus was an Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus, prepare a Free Writing Prospectus that corrects the material misstatement in or omission from the Defective Free Writing Prospectus (together with a Corrected Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, a “Corrected Free Writing Prospectus”), provided, that if an Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus and Issuer Free Writing Prospectus are both determined to be a Defective Free Writing Prospectus as a result of the same untrue statement or omission in each such document, then the Company shall prepare a single Corrected Free Writing Prospectus correcting both such Defective Free Writing Prospectuses; (ii) either (A) deliver the Corrected Free Writing Prospectus to each investor which received the Defective Free Writing Prospectus prior to entering into a contract of sale with such investor, clearly identifying or highlighting the Corrective Information, or (B) deliver the Corrected Free Writing Prospectus to each investor which received the Defective Free Writing Prospectus and has entered into a contract of sale, clearly identifying or highlighting the Corrective Information, and (x) notify in writing each such investor in a prominent fashion that the prior contract of sale with such investor has been terminated, and of such investor’s rights as a result of termination of such agreement and (y) provide such investor with an opportunity to affirmatively agree in writing to purchase the Offered Certificates on the terms described in the Corrected Free Writing Prospectus; and (iii) comply with any other requirements for reformation of the original contract of sale with such investor, as described in Section IV.A.2.c of the Commission’s Securities Offering Reform Release No. 33-8591. (m) In the event that a Defective Free Writing Prospectus was an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and the defective information was not Underwriter Supplied Information, Loan Seller Information or Transaction Party Information and the Underwriters shall in good faith incur any costs to an investor in connection with the reformation of the contract of sale with the investor, the Company agrees to reimburse the Underwriters for such costs. (n) Each Underwriter covenants with the Company that, upon reasonable request, it will make available to the Company such personnel as are familiar with the Underwriter’s compliance procedures for the purpose of answering questions concerning the Underwriter’s practices and procedures for the preparation and dissemination of written materials concerning the Offered Certificates to prospective investors prior to the delivery of the final Prospectus to such investors. (o) Each Underwriter covenants with the Company that after the Prospectus is available the Underwriter shall not distribute any written information concerning the Offered Certificates to a prospective investor unless such information is preceded or accompanied by the final Prospectus.
