4. Offering by the Underwriters.
(a) It is understood that the several Underwriters propose to offer the Offered Certificates for sale to the public as set forth in the Prospectus.
(b) Each Underwriter hereby represents and agrees, severally and not jointly, that it has not offered, sold or otherwise made available, and will not offer, sell or otherwise make available, any Offered Certificates to any EEA Retail Investor in the European Economic Area (the “EEA”). For the purposes of this Section 4(b), the expression “EEA Retail Investor” means a person who is one (or more) of the following: (I) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, “MiFID II”), or (II) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 (as amended), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇, or (III) not a qualified investor as defined in Article 2 of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (as amended), and the expression “offer” includes the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the Offered Certificates to be offered as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe for the Offered Certificates. Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No. 1286/2014 (as amended, the “EU PRIIPs Regulation”) for offering or selling the Offered Certificates or otherwise making them available to EEA Retail Investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Offered Certificates or otherwise making them available to any EEA Retail Investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the EU PRIIPs Regulation.
(c) Each Underwriter hereby represents and agrees, severally and not jointly, that it has not offered, sold or otherwise made available, and will not offer, sell or otherwise made available to any UK Retail Investor in the United Kingdom (the “UK”). For the purposes of this Section 4(c), a “UK Retail Investor” means a person who is one (or more) of the following: (I) a retail client as defined in point (8) of Article 2 of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/565 as it forms part of UK Domestic Law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act of 2018 (as amended, the “EUWA”) and as amended; or (II) a customer within the meaning of the provisions of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (as amended, the “FSMA”) and any rules or regulations made under the FSMA (such rules and regulations as amended) to implement Directive (EU) 2016/97, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client, as defined in Point (8) of Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) No. 600/2014, as it forms part of UK Domestic Law by virtue of the EUWA and as amended; or (III) not a qualified investor as defined in Article 2 of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 as it forms part of UK Domestic Law by virtue of the EUWA and as amended, and the expression “offer” includes the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the Offered Certificates to be offered as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe for the Offered Certificates. Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No. 1286/2014 as it forms part of UK

made against the indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party under Section 8(a), (b) or (c), except to the extent that the indemnifying party has been materially prejudiced by such failure, or otherwise than under this Section 8. Upon request of the indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall retain counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding as incurred.

Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 8 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in connection with the assertion of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (in addition to local counsel), approved by the indemnified party, representing the indemnified parties under such Section 8(a), (b) or (c), as the case may be, who are parties to such action), (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action or (iii) the indemnifying party has authorized the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), but if settled with such written consent or if there shall be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party, but only to the extent provided herein, from and against any loss, damage, cost, expense or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested that an indemnifying party reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel to which the indemnified party is entitled pursuant to this paragraph, the indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (1) such settlement is entered into more than thirty (30) days after receipt by the indemnifying party of such request, (2) the indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement and (3) such settlement does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of the indemnifying party. If the indemnifying party
| 21 |
assumes the defense of any proceeding, it shall be entitled to settle such proceeding with the written consent of the indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, or, if such settlement (i) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any such indemnified party, and (ii) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding, without the consent of the indemnified party.
(e) If the indemnification provided for in subsection (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 8 is applicable in accordance with its terms with respect to one or more indemnifying parties, but is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under such subsection (a), (b) or (c) above, then in order to provide for just and equitable contribution, each such indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses or liabilities referred to in such subsection (a), (b) or (c) above in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party or parties on the other from the offering of the Offered Certificates or (ii) if the allocation provided by the foregoing clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party or parties on the other in connection with the untrue statements or omissions or alleged untrue statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and an Underwriter on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total proceeds from the issuance and sale of the Offered Certificates under this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total underwriting discounts, commissions or other fees received by such Underwriter. The relative benefits received by an Underwriter on the one hand and another Underwriter on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total underwriting discounts, commissions or other fees received by the first such Underwriter bear to the total underwriting discounts, commissions or other fees received by the other such Underwriter. The relative fault of the parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party on the one hand, or the indemnified party on the other, the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission or alleged statement or omission, and any other equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (e). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (e) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating, preparing for or defending against any action or claim which is the subject of this subsection (e) subject to the limitations therein provided under subsection (d).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection (e), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
| 22 |
For purposes of this Section 8, each person who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and each officer and director of an Underwriter shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and each officer and director of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the preceding sentence of this subsection (e). Any party entitled to contribution shall, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action, suit or proceeding against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made against another party or parties under this subsection (e), notify such party or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission to so notify such party or parties shall not relieve the party or parties from whom contribution may be sought from any other obligation it or they may have hereunder or otherwise than under this subsection (e).
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8(e), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute or deemed to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total underwriting discounts, commissions and other fees received by such Underwriter in connection with the offering of the Offered Certificates exceeds the amount of damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of any untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.
The Underwriters’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8 are several in proportion to the respective amount of Offered Certificates they have purchased hereunder, and not joint.
9. Offering Communications; Free Writing Prospectuses; Preliminary Prospectus and Corrected Supplement.
(a) Unless preceded or accompanied by a prospectus satisfying the requirements of Section 10(a) of the Securities Act, no Underwriter shall convey or deliver any written communication (other than the Prospectus) to any person in connection with the initial offering of the Offered Certificates, unless such written communication (i) is made in reliance on Rule 134 under the Securities Act, (ii) is made in reliance on Rule 172 under the Securities Act, (iii) is the Time of Sale Information or the Prospectus, (iv) constitutes a “free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act (a “Free Writing Prospectus”) or (v) such other written communication approved by the Company in advance. Without limitation thereby, without the prior written consent of the Company (which consent may be withheld for any reason), no Underwriter shall prepare, convey or deliver in connection with the initial offering of the Offered Certificates any Free Writing Prospectus or “ABS informational and computational material,” as defined in Item 1101(a) of Regulation AB under the Securities Act (“ABS Informational and Computational Material”), in reliance upon Rules 167 and 426 under the Securities Act, other than materials provided to it by the Company, including the Preliminary Prospectus and the Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses (which include any FWP); provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, each Underwriter (other than an Underwriter that is not a Lead Underwriter) may use an Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus that does not include Issuer Information without obtaining the prior written consent of the Company.

(i) any such Free Writing Prospectus or portion thereof prepared by or on behalf of such Underwriter that contains only a description of the final terms of the Offered Certificates shall be delivered by such Underwriter to the Company by no later than the later of (A) the date such final terms have been established for all classes of the Offered Certificates or (B) the date of first use; and
(ii) any such Free Writing Prospectus that contains only ABS Informational and Computational Materials may be delivered by an Underwriter to the Company not later than the later of (A) one (1) business day prior to the due date for filing of the Prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act or (B) the date of first use of such Free Writing Prospectus.
(c) Each Underwriter represents and warrants to the Company that the Free Writing Prospectuses to be furnished to the Company by such Underwriter pursuant to Section 9(b) hereof will constitute all Free Writing Prospectuses of the type described therein that were furnished to prospective investors by such Underwriter in connection with its offer and sale of the Offered Certificates.
(d) Each Underwriter represents and warrants to the Company that each Free Writing Prospectus (other than an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus) required to be provided by it to the Company pursuant to Section 9(b) hereof did not, as of the date such Free Writing Prospectus was conveyed or delivered to any prospective investor, include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and that each such Free Writing Prospectus complied with Rules 164 and 433 under the Securities Act; provided, no Underwriter makes any representation or warranty to the extent such misstatements or omissions are based upon or arise out of an untrue statement or omission in the Issuer Information supplied by the Company to such Underwriter, the Mortgage Loan Seller Information or the Transaction Party Information, which information was not corrected by information subsequently supplied by the Company, the related Mortgage Loan Seller or the related Transaction Party to such Underwriter a reasonable period prior to the Time of Sale to the applicable investor of the Offered Certificates (including without limitation, by means of a contract of sale).
(e) The Company agrees to file with the Commission the following:
(i) Each FWP and any other Free Writing Prospectus that constitutes an “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act (each, an “Issuer Free Writing Prospectus”);
(ii) Any Free Writing Prospectus or portion thereof delivered by an Underwriter to the Company pursuant to Section 9(b) hereof (but not any subsequent Free Writing
| 24 |
Prospectus containing only information prepared by or on behalf of an Underwriter on the basis of or derived from Issuer Information previously filed);
(iii) Any Free Writing Prospectus or portion thereof that contains a description of the final terms of the Offered Certificates, after such terms have been established for all classes in the offering;
(iv) Any Free Writing Prospectus for which the Company 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 communications; and
(v) any ABS Informational and Computational Material that is not being treated as a Free Writing Prospectus.
(f) Any Free Writing Prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Section 9(e) hereof by the Company shall be filed with the Commission not later than the date of first use of the Free Writing Prospectus, except that:
(i) any Free Writing Prospectus or portion thereof required to be filed that contains only a description of the final terms of the Offered Certificates may be filed by the Company within two (2) days of the later of the date such final terms have been established for all classes of Offered Certificates and the date of first use;
(ii) any Free Writing Prospectus or portion thereof required to be filed that contains only ABS Informational and Computational Material may be filed by the Company with the Commission not later than the later of the due date for filing of the Prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act or two (2) business days after the date of first use of such Free Writing Prospectus; and
(iii) any Free Writing Prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Section 9(e)(iv) hereof may, if no payment has been made or consideration has been given by or on behalf of the Company for the Free Writing Prospectus or its dissemination, be filed by the Company with the Commission not later than four (4) business days after the Company becomes aware of the publication, radio or television broadcast or other dissemination of such Free Writing Prospectus.
(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
| 25 |
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. 333-260277) 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 ▇▇▇▇▇ on the Securities and Exchange Commission website at ▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇▇. 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 ▇-▇▇▇-▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇ or by emailing ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇@▇▇.▇▇▇.”
(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 that, as of the Time of Sale, the Preliminary Prospectus contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the Company shall (i) notify the Underwriters thereof within one business day after discovery, (ii) prepare and deliver to the Underwriters a supplement to the Preliminary Prospectus that corrects the material misstatement or omission in the Preliminary Prospectus and that meets the requirements of Rule 424(h)(2) under the Securities Act (such supplement, a “Corrected Supplement”) and (iii) file such Corrected Supplement with the Commission in accordance with Rule 424(h) under the Securities Act. Upon receipt of such notice from the Company, the Underwriters shall:
| 26 |
(i) Notify each investor in the Offered Certificates in a prompt fashion that any prior contract of sale with such investor has been terminated, and of such investor’s rights as a result of termination of such agreement;
(ii) Upon receipt of a copy of such Corrected Supplement from the Company, deliver, at least 48 hours prior to sending a new confirmation of sale to an investor in the Offered Certificates in accordance with Rule 15c2-8(b) under the Exchange Act, such Corrected Supplement to such investor;
(iii) Provide such investor with an opportunity to enter into a new contract of sale on the terms described in the Time of Sale Information (as updated by such Corrected Supplement); and
(iv) Comply with any other requirements for reformation of the original contract of sale, as described in Section IV.2.c of the Commission’s Securities Offering Reform Release No. 33-8591.
(m) 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 the 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 the 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
| 27 |
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.
(n) In the event that a Defective Free Writing Prospectus was an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and the defective information was not Underwriter Supplied Information, Mortgage 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.
(o) 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.
(p) 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.
10. Termination or Default by an Underwriter.
(a) This Agreement shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the Underwriters, by notice given to the Company prior to delivery of and payment for the Offered Certificates, if prior to such time (i) trading in securities of the Company or DBSI or any affiliate of either on any major securities exchange on which such securities are commonly traded shall have been suspended or materially limited, (ii) any downgrading in the intended rating of any of the Offered Certificates by any rating agency, or any public announcement that any rating agency has under surveillance or review its rating of any of the Offered Certificates (with implication of a possible downgrading), (iii) trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange or over-the-counter market shall have been suspended or materially limited or minimum prices shall
| 28 |
have been established on such exchange, (iv) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities in New York shall have been declared by either federal or New York State authorities, or (v) there shall have occurred any material outbreak or escalation of hostilities or other calamity or crisis, the effect of which on the financial markets of the United States is such as to make it, in the reasonable judgment of the Underwriters, after consultation with the Company, impracticable to market the Offered Certificates on the terms specified in this Agreement. In the event of a termination pursuant to this Section 10, fees and expenses of the Underwriters shall be paid by the Company pursuant to Section 7 of this Agreement.
(b) If any Underwriter defaults in its obligations to purchase the Offered Certificates hereunder and the aggregate principal amount of the Offered Certificates that such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase does not exceed 10% of the total principal amount of the Offered Certificates to be purchased hereunder, DBSI may make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the purchase of such Offered Certificates by other persons, but if no such arrangements are made by the Closing Date, each non-defaulting Underwriter (other than an Underwriter that is not a Lead Underwriter) shall be obligated to purchase the Offered Certificates (for each Class of Offered Certificates, in an amount equal to the product of (x) the principal amount of such Class that was failed to be purchased by such defaulting Underwriter and (y) the percentage of the principal amount of such Class obligated to be purchased by such non-defaulting Underwriter (set forth on Schedule I of this Agreement) of the sum of the total initial principal balance of such Class obligated to be purchased by all non-defaulting Underwriters) that such defaulting Underwriter agreed but failed to purchase hereunder. If any Underwriter so defaults and the aggregate principal amount of the Offered Certificates with respect to which such default occurs exceeds 10% of the total principal amount of the Offered Certificates to be purchased hereunder and arrangements satisfactory to DBSI and the Company for the purchase of such Offered Certificates by other persons are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement will terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company, except as provided in Section 10. In the event that, within the respective prescribed periods, DBSI has arranged for the purchase of such Offered Certificates by other persons or the non-defaulting Underwriters (other than an Underwriter that is not a Lead Underwriter) become obligated to purchase such Offered Certificates under this Section 10(b), DBSI and the Company may postpone the Closing Date for a period of not more than seven (7) days, in order to effect whatever changes the Company and DBSI reasonably believe may thereby be made necessary in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or in any other documents or arrangements, and the Company agrees to file promptly any amendments to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus that it and DBSI reasonably believe may thereby be made necessary. As used in this Agreement, the term “Underwriter” includes any person substituted for an Underwriter under this Section. Nothing herein will relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.
11. Representations and Indemnities to Survive. The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the Company or its officers and the Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Underwriters or the Company or any of the officers, directors or controlling persons referred to in Section 8 and will survive delivery of and payment for the Offered Certificates. The provisions of Sections 5(e), 5(f), 7 and 8 hereof shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement.
| 29 |
12. Obligations of GACC. GACC hereby covenants and agrees with the Underwriters that GACC shall be liable to the Underwriters and the officers, directors and controlling persons referred to in Section 8(a) of this Agreement to the same extent as the Company for all of the obligations of the Company under Section 8 of this Agreement. GACC further agrees that the Underwriters shall not be bound or obligated to initially request the Company to perform any of its obligations under Section 8 of this Agreement, but may instead initially request GACC to perform such obligations. Additionally, GACC agrees that the Underwriters shall not be bound or obligated in any way to exhaust recourse against the Company before being entitled to demand the performance by GACC of the Company’s obligations under Section 8 of this Agreement. Performance by GACC of any of the Company’s obligations under Section 8 of this Agreement shall be deemed to be performance thereof by the Company and performance by the Company of its obligations under Section 8 of this Agreement shall be deemed to be performance thereof by GACC.
13. Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes.
(a) In the event that the Company or any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Company or Underwriter of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.
(b) In the event that the Company or any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Company or Underwriter becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Company or Underwriter are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.
(c) For the purposes of this Section 13 and Section 14, the following definitions apply:
“BHC Act Affiliate” has the meaning assigned to the term “affiliate” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. §1841(k).

“Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.
(d) “U.S. Special Resolution Regime” means each of (i) the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder and (ii) Title II of the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder.
| 30 |
14. Limitation on the Exercise of Certain Rights Related to Affiliate Insolvency Proceedings.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other agreement, but subject to the requirements of Section 13, no party to this Agreement shall be permitted to exercise any Default Right against a Covered Party with respect to this Agreement that is related, directly or indirectly, to a BHC Act Affiliate of such party becoming subject to a receivership, insolvency, liquidation, resolution, or similar proceeding (each an “Insolvency Proceeding”), except to the extent the exercise of such Default Right would be permitted under the creditor protection provisions of 12 C.F.R. § 252.84, 12 C.F.R. § 47.5, or 12 C.F.R. § 382.4, as applicable.

STATEMENT REGARDING ASSUMPTIONS AS TO SECURITIES, PRICING ESTIMATES AND OTHER INFORMATION
This material is for your information, and none of Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Barclays Capital Inc., BMO Capital Markets Corp., ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ & Co. LLC, Academy Securities, Inc., ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, LLC or any other underwriter, (collectively, the “Underwriters”) are soliciting any action based upon it. This material is not to be construed as an offer to sell or the solicitation of any offer to buy any security in any jurisdiction where such an offer or solicitation would be illegal.
Neither this document nor anything contained herein shall form the basis for any contract or commitment whatsoever. The information contained herein is preliminary as of the date hereof. These materials are subject to change, completion or amendment from time to time. The information contained herein will be superseded by similar information delivered to you as part of the preliminary prospectus relating to the Benchmark 2024-V5 Mortgage Trust Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2023-V1 (the "Offering Document"). The information contained herein supersedes any such information previously delivered and should be reviewed only in conjunction with the entire Offering Document. All of the information contained herein is subject to the same limitations and qualifications contained in the Offering Document. The information contained herein does not contain all relevant information relating to the underlying mortgage loans or mortgaged properties. Such information is described elsewhere in the Offering Document. The information contained herein will be more fully described elsewhere in the Offering Document. The information contained herein should not be viewed as projections, forecasts, predictions or opinions with respect to value. Prior to making any investment decision, prospective investors are strongly urged to read the Offering Document its entirety. Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this free writing prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
The attached information contains certain tables and other statistical analyses (the “Computational Materials”) which have been prepared in reliance upon information furnished by the Mortgage Loan Sellers. Numerous assumptions were used in preparing the Computational Materials, which may or may not be reflected herein. As such, no assurance can be given as to the Computational Materials’ accuracy, appropriateness or completeness in any particular context; or as to whether the Computational Materials and/or the assumptions upon which they are based reflect present market conditions or future market performance. The Computational Materials should not be construed as either projections or predictions or as legal, tax, financial or accounting advice. You should consult your own counsel, accountant and other advisors as to the legal, tax, business, financial and related aspects of a purchase of these securities. Any weighted average lives, yields and principal payment periods shown in the Computational Materials are based on prepayment and/or loss assumptions, and changes in such prepayment and/or loss assumptions may dramatically affect such weighted average lives, yields and principal payment periods. In addition, it is possible that prepayments or losses on the underlying assets will occur at rates higher or lower than the rates shown in the attached Computational Materials. The specific characteristics of the securities may differ from those shown in the Computational Materials due to differences between the final underlying assets and the preliminary underlying assets used in preparing the Computational Materials. The principal amount and designation of any security described in the Computational Materials are subject to change prior to issuance. None of Underwriters or any of their respective affiliates makes any representation or warranty as to the actual rate or timing of payments or losses on any of the underlying assets or the payments or yield on the securities.
This document contains forward-looking statements. Those statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause the success of collections and the actual cash flow generated to differ materially from the information set forth herein. While such information reflects projections prepared in good faith based upon methods and data that are believed to be reasonable and accurate as of the dates thereof, the depositor undertakes no obligation to revise these forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances. Individuals should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements and are advised to make their own independent analysis and determination with respect to the forecasted periods, which reflect the issuer’s view only as of the date hereof.
