INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS AND RISK FACTORS
Purchasers of Notes should conduct such independent investigation and analysis regarding the Issuer, the Reference Entities, the Reference Obligations, the Collateral and the obligors in respect thereof, the Notes, the Swap Counterparty (each of the terms as defined herein) and all other relevant persons and market and economic factors as they deem appropriate to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the Notes. The Issuer and the Arranger disclaim any responsibility to advise purchasers of Notes of the risks and investment considerations associated with the purchase of the Notes as they may exist at the date hereof or from time to time thereafter. However, as part of such independent investigation and analysis, prospective purchasers of Notes should consider all the information set forth in the Base Prospectus and this Amended and Restated Prospectus, including the considerations set forth below.
(A) All payments to be made by the Issuer in respect of the Notes and the Swap Agreement related thereto will be made only from and to the extent of the sums received or recovered from time to time by or on behalf of the Issuer or the Trustee in respect of the Mortgaged Property (as defined in Condition 4.2) in respect of such Notes;
(B) To the extent that such sums are less than the amount which the holders of the Notes and the Swap Counterparty may have expected to receive if paragraph (A) above did not apply (the difference being referred to herein as a "shortfall"), such shortfall will be borne by such holders and by the Swap Counterparty in accordance with the Terms and Conditions of the Notes and the order of priorities specified in this Amended and Restated Prospectus; and
(C) Each holder of the Notes, by subscribing for or purchasing the Notes, will be deemed to accept and acknowledge that it is fully aware that:
(i) the holders of the Notes and the Swap Counterparty shall look solely to the sums referred to in paragraph (A), as applied in accordance with paragraph (B) above (the "Relevant Sums") for payments to be made by the Issuer in respect of the Notes and the Swap Agreement related thereto;
(ii) the obligations of the Issuer to make payments in respect of the Notes and the Swap Agreement related thereto will be limited to the Relevant Sums and the holders of the Notes and the Swap Counterparty shall have no further recourse to the Issuer in respect of the Notes or the Swap Agreement related thereto;
(iii) without prejudice to the foregoing, any right of the holders of the Notes and the Swap Counterparty to claim payment of any amount exceeding the Relevant Sums shall be automatically extinguished; and
(iv) the holders of the Notes shall not be able to petition for the winding up of the Issuer or the appointment of an examiner in respect of the Issuer as a consequence of any such shortfall.
Investment in the Notes is only suitable for investors who:
(1) have the requisite knowledge and experience in financial and business matters, and access to, and knowledge of, appropriate analytical resources, to evaluate the information contained in the Base Prospectus and this Amended and Restated Prospectus and the merits and risks of an investment in the Issuer in the context of such investors’ financial position and circumstances;
(2) are capable of bearing the economic risk of an investment in the Issuer for an indefinite period of time;
(3) are acquiring the Notes for their own account for investment, not with a view to resale, distribution or other disposition of the Notes (subject to any applicable law requiring that the disposition of the investor’s property be within its control);
(4) recognise that it may not be possible to make any transfer of the Notes for a substantial period of time, if at all; and
(5) are banks, investment banks, pension funds, insurance companies, securities firms, investment institutions, central governments, large international or supranational organisations or other entities, including inter alia treasuries and finance companies of large enterprises which are active on a regular and professional basis in the financial markets for their own account.
Further, each prospective purchaser of Notes must determine, based on its own independent review and such professional advice as it deems appropriate under the circumstances, that its acquisition of the Notes (i) is fully consistent with its (or if it is acquiring the Notes in a fiduciary capacity, the beneficiary’s) financial needs, objectives and condition, (ii) complies and is fully consistent with all investment policies, guidelines and restrictions applicable to it (whether acquiring the Notes as principal or in a fiduciary capacity) and (iii) is a fit, proper and suitable investment for it (or if it is acquiring the Notes in a fiduciary capacity, for the beneficiary), notwithstanding the clear and substantial risks inherent in investing in or holding the Notes. Neither the Issuer, the Arranger, the Swap Counterparty nor any other person has or will make any representation or statement as to the suitability of the Notes for investors. Investors should obtain all required independent professional advice before purchasing the Notes.
Exposure to Reference Entities and Reference Obligations set out in the Reference Portfolio (as updated from time to time)
A Note does not represent a claim against any Reference Entity and, in the event of any loss, a Noteholder will not have recourse under a Note to any Reference Entity. However, investors in the Notes will be exposed to the credit risk of the Reference Entities and the Reference Obligations. Neither the Issuer, the Arranger, the Trustee nor any of them or other person on their behalf makes any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the credit quality of any Reference Entity or the Reference Obligations. Each of such persons may have acquired, or during the term of the Notes may acquire, confidential information with respect to the Reference Entities or the Reference Obligations. None of such persons is under any obligation to make such information available to Noteholders.
Prospective purchasers of Notes should pay particular attention to the leverage provisions of the Notes. Notwithstanding the fact that the initial principal amount of the Notes is EUR 15,000,000, the credit protection effectively sold by the Noteholders is EUR 225,000,000. In connection with the leveraged nature of the Notes and the credit default swap element of the Swap Agreement, the provisions of the Swap Agreement
entitle the Swap Counterparty to terminate the Swap Agreement prior to its scheduled termination date if a Trigger Event (as defined in the Swap Agreement) occurs - and if the Swap Agreement is so terminated, the Notes will become due for redemption prior to their stated maturity in accordance with the Terms of the Notes. A Trigger Event at any time is defined so as to the take account of the exposure of the Swap Counterparty to the Issuer under the credit default swap element of the Swap Agreement, having regard to then current credit spreads in relation to the Reference Entities and taking account any additional cash collateral provided by the Noteholders to the Issuer (which collateral would form part of the Mortgaged Property available to satisfy the claims of the Swap Counterparty against the Issuer under the Swap Agreement and of the Noteholder providing such collateral). Provided that no Trigger Event (and provided that no Principal Amount Reduction or Potential Principal Amount Reduction) has occurred in relation to the Notes (as such terms are defined in the Terms of the Notes), a Noteholder may, at certain times and subject to certain conditions, including the Average Portfolio Spread (as defined in the Swap Agreement) under the credit default swap element of the Swap Agreement being greater than or equal to a certain level, give notice to the Issuer that it wishes to provide such collateral (an Initial Deposit Amount or a Further Deposit) to the Issuer and to exchange its Notes for a new Series of Notes (having similar terms and conditions as the Notes and for which the relevant Mortgaged Property will comprise a pro rata portion of the Mortgaged Property for the Notes outstanding immediately prior to the giving of such notice). Prospective purchasers of Notes should review in detail the provisions of the Terms of the Notes (including paragraphs 19(8), 20 and 21 of the Terms) and of the Swap Agreement.
Swap Agreement
Investors in the Notes shall be deemed to have fully understood the provisions of the Default Swap and Asset Swap related thereto and, in particular, the fact that amounts due in respect of principal and interest on the Notes will be affected by the amounts due and payable by the Issuer under such Default Swap and Asset Swap.
Reliance on Creditworthiness of Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch
The ability of the Issuer to meet its obligations under the Notes will depend on the receipt by it of payments under the Swap Agreement related thereto. Consequently, the Issuer is exposed not only to the occurrence of Credit Events in relation to any of the Reference Entities and the Reference Obligations, but also to the ability of Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch (as Swap Counterparty) to perform its obligations to make payments to the Issuer under the Swap Agreement and to Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch (as Deposit Bank) in relation to the Collateral.
Basis Selection
Investors in the Notes may be exposed to a variation in the proportion which the nominal amount of the Collateral in respect of the Notes bears to the principal amount of the Notes, depending on the Basis Selection elected by the Issuer on any issue of further Notes of the same class (as described in Condition 15 of the Notes).
THE CONSIDERATIONS SET OUT ABOVE ARE NOT, AND ARE NOT INTENDED TO BE, A COMPREHENSIVE LIST OF ALL CONSIDERATIONS RELEVANT TO A DECISION TO PURCHASE OR HOLD ANY NOTES. THE ATTENTION OF INVESTORS IS ALSO DRAWN TO THE SECTIONS HEADED “INVESTOR

Scheduled Maturity Date an additional Interest Amount shall be payable on the Maturity Date and calculated as an amount equal to the aggregate of all daily interest amounts in respect of each day during the period from (and including) the Scheduled Maturity Date to (but excluding) the Maturity Date. Each such daily interest amount shall be equal to the product of:
(i) the Interest Deferral Rate;
(ii) the sum of the Notional Principal Amount of the Relevant Notes on he Maturity Date and the Interest Amount relating to the final Interest Period; and
(iii) the Deferral Rate Day Count Fraction.
13 Redemption at Maturity: (A) Unless previously redeemed or
purchased as specified herein or in the Conditions, the Redemption Amount on the Maturity Date for each Note shall be, subject to this paragraph 13 and paragraph 25 below, an amount in EUR (as determined
by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion) equal to (a) the Outstanding Principal Amount of such Note on the Maturity Date plus (b) an interest amount equal to the Basket Outperformance Amount (as defined in paragraph
12) in respect of such Note on the Maturity Date. For the avoidance of doubt, this interest amount is the same as that described under “Basket Outperformance Amount” in paragraph 12 above.

Principal Amount" of each Note shall be EUR 1,000,000 less the sum of all Principal Amount Reductions effective on such date (if any), each calculated in accordance with this sub- paragraph 13(B) and subject to a minimum of zero.

Accordingly, the Issuer shall, within thirty Relevant Business Days from the date of such Extraordinary Resolution, by giving not less than five Relevant Business Days' irrevocable notice (in accordance with Condition 16 (as amended by paragraph 31)) (a "Redemption Notice") to the
Noteholders, the Trustee, the Agent and the Custodian (but so that any requirement under Clause 4.1(G) of the General Trust Terms for Structured Investments arranged by Deutsche Bank AG
London/Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft; Standard & Poor's/Moody's Rated Issuer, August 2000 Edition or otherwise to have a Redemption Notice delivered to or approved by the Trustee before the giving thereof will not apply), redeem each Note at its pro rata share of the Notional Principal Amount together with interest accrued on such amount to the date fixed in the Redemption Notice (such date, the "Rating Downgrade Redemption Date" and such amount, the "Rating Downgrade Redemption Amount"). For such purpose, the Notional Principal Amount at the Rating Downgrade Redemption Date shall be calculated on the basis of Maximum Cash Settlement Amounts determined by reference to a Final Price for any Undetermined Reference Entities of 35 per cent. In addition to the Rating Downgrade Redemption Amount, the Issuer shall pay each Noteholder an additional interest amount equal to an amount, as determined by the Calculation Agent in a commercially reasonable manner, equal to the then present value of the Basket Outperformance Amount that would have been payable on the Scheduled Maturity Date had
there been no Rating Downgrade Redemption, and assuming that the aggregate of the Outstanding Principal Amounts of the Notes on the Scheduled Maturity Date would be the same as at the Rating Downgrade Redemption Date.
No other Optional Redemption: (E) Conditions 8.4, 8.6, 8.7 and 8.11
will not apply to the Notes.

In such event, no payments will be due by the Issuer to the Noteholders in respect of principal or interest under the Notes and the date of such redemption shall be the relevant Cash Settlement Date on which the Principal Amount Reduction is determined resulting in the aggregate of the Outstanding Principal Amounts of all the Notes being reduced to zero.
Accelerated Redemption: (G) If, in accordance with the terms of the Default Swap, (i) an Event Notice is delivered by the Swap Counterparty to the Issuer and a further notice is given by the Swap Counterparty (which may constitute part of the same notice as the Event Notice) to the Issuer designating an Accelerated Termination Date or (ii) a date is deemed to be the Accelerated Termination Date under paragraph 5.1.1(ii) of the Default Swap Confirmation then, the Notes shall be redeemed (in
whole) in the case of (i) above on the fifth Relevant Business Day following the Accelerated Termination Date or, in the case of (ii) above, on the Termination Date (each such date the "Accelerated Redemption Date") and the security constituted or created pursuant to the Trust Instrument shall become enforceable (if the same shall not already have become enforceable in accordance with the Conditions). For the purposes of redemption pursuant to this sub- paragraph 13(G), the Redemption Amount for each Note shall be its pro rata share of:
(i) the proceeds of enforcement of the security constituted by the Trust Instrument over the Collateral (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be without deduction of any costs and expenses in relation to such
enforcement) (the "Enforcement Proceeds"); less
(ii) the Additional Termination Unwind Costs (as defined in Schedule 1 hereto).
Payment in accordance with the foregoing provisions shall constitute full and final satisfaction of all of the Issuer’s obligations to make any payment of principal in respect of the principal amount of the Notes so to be redeemed and of any interest accruing in respect of
such principal amount at any time after the first day of the Interest Period during which the Notes become subject to such early redemption and the aggregate of the Outstanding Principal Amounts of the Notes shall be deemed to be reduced to zero accordingly.
In the event of such redemption and the security constituted by the Trust Instrument becoming enforceable, the Trustee may take such action as is provided in Condition 4.7(A) (as amended by Schedule 2 hereto) and shall do so if so requested or directed in accordance with the provisions of such Condition (subject in each case to its being indemnified in accordance with such Condition and provided that the Trustee shall not be required to do anything which is contrary to applicable law).

which shall be credited to the Additional Reserve Account (as defined in the terms of such New Notes as set out in Schedule 4 hereto) relating to such New Notes;
(ii) contemporaneously with the issue of the New Notes and the redemption of the Exercised Notes, the Trustee will be deemed to release from the security created by the Trust Instrument a proportion of the Collateral for the Notes equal to the proportion that the aggregate of the Outstanding Principal Amounts of such Exercised Notes bears to the aggregate of the Outstanding Principal Amounts of all the Notes immediately prior to the New Notes Issue Date (the "Released Proportion" in respect of such New Notes, Exercised Notes and Exercising Noteholder) and such Collateral shall constitute the collateral for such New Notes and accordingly shall, from the New Notes Issue Date, no longer constitute Collateral for the Notes; and
(iii) a portion equal to the Released Proportion of each of the Asset Swap and the Default Swap shall be deemed to terminate and the notional amount thereof shall be reduced accordingly but no termination payment shall be made by either party thereto in respect of such termination.

circumstances, the Notes will be redeemed in accordance with paragraph

(F) The Issuer’s obligation to issue New Notes will terminate if no confirmation is received by the Issuer and the Swap Counterparty from S&P prior to the date that would, but for the provisions of this sub-paragraph 20(F), have been the New Notes Issue Date (the "Abandoned New Notes Issue Date"), that the rating of the Notes will not be adversely affected by the issuance of the relevant New Notes. In such circumstances, the Issuer shall, as soon as practicable following the Abandoned New Notes Issue Date, pay to each relevant Exercising Noteholder in respect of the relevant Exercised Notes an amount equal to the balance standing to the credit of the relevant Initial Deposit Account (but subject always to the security created pursuant to the Trust Instrument).

"New Notes Accelerated Redemption Accrued Interest Amount" means, in relation to any New Notes Accelerated Redemption Deferral Amount, an amount equal to the aggregate of all interest amounts calculated in respect of each day during the period from (and including) the Potential Accelerated Redemption Date to (but excluding) the relevant New Notes Issue Date. Each such daily interest amount shall be equal to the product of:
(i) the Interest Deferral Rate;
(iii) the relevant New Notes Accelerated Redemption Deferral Interest Amount; and
(iv) the Deferral Rate Day
Count Fraction.
Deferral of Accelerated Redemption Date: (B) If any date upon which an
Accelerated Redemption Date would otherwise fall (the "Potential Accelerated Redemption Date") is an Unissued New Notes Date, then such Accelerated Redemption Date shall be postponed to the fifth Relevant Business Day following the Potential Accelerated Redemption Date that is not an Unissued New Notes Date, provided that the provisions of paragraph 20 above shall nonetheless apply during such period of postponement.

Notes (as amended by this sub- paragraph 13(D)), provided that the Noteholders shall not require the consent of the Swap Counterparty in order to exercise the option set out in Condition 8.8(B) (as amended by this sub- paragraph 13(D)) and that the Noteholders may only exercise their option to require the Issuer to redeem the Notes in whole (but not in part), at any time, pursuant to an Extraordinary
Resolution of Noteholders holding or representing a majority in principal amount of the Notes for the time being outstanding, passed in accordance with Condition 13, if the Swap Counterparty has failed within a period of 30 calendar days of the relevant event to take such action as is provided under the terms of the Swap Agreement following a Swap Rating Downgrade (as defined in sub-paragraph 20(C)). Accordingly, the Issuer shall, within thirty Relevant Business Days from the date of such Extraordinary Resolution, by giving not less than five Relevant Business Days' irrevocable notice (in accordance with Condition 16 as amended by paragraph 29) (a "Redemption Notice") to the Noteholders, the Trustee, the Agent and the Custodian (but so that any requirement under Clause 4.1(G) of the General Trust Terms for Structured Investments arranged by Deutsche Bank AG London/Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft; Standard & Poor's/Moody's Rated Issuer, August 2000 Edition or otherwise to have a Redemption Notice delivered to or approved by the Trustee before the giving thereof will not apply), redeem each Note at its pro rata share of the Notional Principal Amount together with interest accrued on such amount to the date fixed in the Redemption Notice and its pro rata share of the Additional
Reserve Account Balance (if any) as at the close of business on the Relevant Business Day immediately preceding such redemption date, after taking into account any interest accruing thereon on such date (such date, the "Rating Downgrade Redemption Date" and such amount, the "Rating Downgrade Redemption Amount"). For such purpose, the Notional Principal Amount at the Rating Downgrade Redemption Date shall be calculated on the basis of Maximum Cash Settlement Amounts determined by reference to a Final Price for such Undetermined Reference Entities of 35 per cent. In addition to the Rating Downgrade Redemption Amount, the Issuer shall pay each Noteholder an additional interest amount equal to an amount, as determined by the Calculation Agent in a commercially reasonable manner, equal to the then present value of the Basket Outperformance Amount that would have been payable on the Scheduled Maturity Date had there been no Rating Downgrade Redemption, and assuming that the aggregate of the Outstanding Principal Amounts of the Notes on the Scheduled Maturity Date would be the same as at the Rating Downgrade Redemption Date.
