Section 2
Auction Procedures
(a)
By 10:30 AM New York time on the fifth Business Day preceding the Auction Distribution Date (the “NoticeDate”),the Auction Administrator will deliver a notice (telephonically and by facsimile transmission) to DBAG (which form of notice is attached hereto as Exhibit A) and at least two other entities listed on Schedule A hereto (which Schedule A may be amended by delivery of a revised Schedule A by DBAG to the Auction Administrator) or any successors thereof (together with DBAG, the “Dealers”) selected by DBAG by the Notice Date and request that they solicit bids from third-party investors, which may include Dealers (the “Bidders”).The Auction Administrator will contact the Dealers via Exhibit A and request that they solicit Qualifying Bids (as defined below) from the Bidders for the purch ase of all or a portion of the Auction Certificates, and will request that the Bidders respond to the Dealers, who in turn will convey such bids to the Auction Administrator, by 11:00 AM New York time on the second Business Day prior to the Auction Distribution Date (the “Bid Date”).The Auction Administrator will instruct the Dealers to instruct the Bidders that (i) the bids must be submitted on an unconditional basis, (ii) the bids should be submitted as a percentage of par (after application of all principal to be distributed, and all Realized Losses and Subsequent Recoveries to be allocated on the Auction Distribution Date, and (iii) the price to be paid in connection with a winning bid must be deposited into the Auction Proceeds Account (as defined in Section 3(a) of this Agreement) not later than 11:00 AM New York time on the Auction Distribution Date (any bid conforming to the requirements of clauses (i) - (iii) being a “QualifyingBid”).The Auct ion Administrator will request from each Bidder, through the Dealers, instructions for transfer on the Auction Distribution Date to the Bidder (or its designee) of the Auction Certificates of each Class on which such Bidder is bidding in the event that such Bidder is the winning Bidder.
(b)
As soon as practicable after 11:00 AM New York time on the Bid Date, the Auction Administrator will (i) determine the highest Qualifying Bid for each Auction Certificate being auctioned, based on the Qualifying Bids received by the Auction Administrator from or through the Dealers by 11:00 AM New York time and (ii) provide DBAG a list specifying each bid received by the Auction Administrator and the name of the related Bidder. If no Qualifying Bids for a Class of Auction Certificates or for a portion of a Class of Auction Certificates are received from or through any Dealers by 11:00 AM New York time on the Bid Date, the Auction Administrator will so advise the Dealers (including DBAG) by telephone and facsimile transmission (in the form of notice attached hereto as Exhibit B) and will extend the deadline for receipt of Qualifying Bids for such Class of Auction Certifi cates (or portion thereof) by two hours to 1:00 PM New York time; if no Qualifying Bids are received by 1:00 PM New York time for such Class of Auction Certificates (or portion thereof), the auction price for such Auction Certificates for purposes of the Auction Swap Agreement will be deemed to be zero. If only one Qualifying Bid for a Class of Auction Certificates (or portion thereof) being auctioned is received from or through any Dealers, then the auction price for such Auction Certificates (or portion thereof) shall be the amount of such Qualifying Bid. In the event that on the Bid Date two or more Qualifying Bids of equal price (“TieBids”)are determined to be the highest Qualifying Bids for an aggregate amount greater than the principal amount of a Class of Auction Certificates, then the Bidders of the Tie Bids will each take a pro rata share in such Auction Certificates (based on the aggregate principal amount for such Class of Auction Certificates for which each such Bidder submitted a Qualifying Bid); provided, however, that such Auction Certificates shall be issued in the minimum denomination, or multiples in excess thereof, authorized by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
(c)
In the event that DBAG defaults in its payment obligations under the Auction Swap Agreement:
(i)
if no Qualifying Bids for a Class of Auction Certificates are received, then the Holders of such Auction Certificates will retain such Auction Certificates and their rights under the Auction Swap Agreement:
(ii)
if Qualifying Bids are received for some, but not all, Auction Certificates of a Class, then each Holder of such Class of Auction Certificates shall be deemed to have sold a pro rata portion of its Auction Certificates (based on the aggregate principal amount of such Class of Auction Certificates held by each Holder and subject to the proviso in the last sentence of Section 2(b) of this Agreement) and shall retain the remaining principal amount, if any, of such Class of Auction Certificates held by it and its rights under the Auction Swap Agreement;
(iii)
if bids are received for all Auction Certificates of a Class, then each Holder of such Class of Auction Certificates shall be deemed to have sold all its Auction Certificates (subject to the proviso in the last sentence of Section 2(b) of this Agreement) and shall retain its rights under the Auction Swap Agreement;
(iv)
if Auction Proceeds for the Auction Certificates of a Class are in excess of the Par Price for such Auction Certificates, then, on the Auction Distribution Date, the Auction Administrator will distribute to the Auction Swap Counterparty or its designee the amount of such excess; and
(v)
if, after the Holders of all Classes of Auction Certificates have received the Par Price for the relevant Auction Certificates, there are any remaining proceeds from the early termination of the Auction Swap Agreement, the Auction Administrator will distribute to DBAG (or to its designee) the amount of such remaining proceeds.
In any case described in (i)-(v) above, the Auction Administrator shall have no further responsibility with respect to the auction of such Auction Certificates.
(d)
By 3:00 PM New York time on the Bid Date, the Auction Administrator will notify the winning Bidder(s) with respect to the applicable auctioned Auction Certificates that (i) its Qualifying Bid was the highest Qualifying Bid and shall give it wiring instructions for payment of the purchase price for such Auction Certificates into the Auction Proceeds Account and (ii) unless such purchase price is received by 11:00 AM New York time on the Auction Distribution Date, such Bidder’s Qualifying Bid will be rejected and the Qualifying Bid of the next highest Bidder(s) shall be accepted in accordance with clause (f) below.
(e)
By 3:30 PM New York time on the Bid Date, the Auction Administrator shall also notify DBAG of the winning Qualifying Bid (or, if applicable, that no Qualifying Bids have been received) for each Auction Certificate. To the extent that the winning Qualifying Bid for an Auction Certificate is less than the sum of the principal amount of such class of Auction Certificates on the Auction Distribution Date, after application of all principal to be distributed, and all Realized Losses and Subsequent Recoveries to be allocated, to such class of Auction Certificates on the Auction Distribution Date, in accordance with the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the “Par Price”)on the Auction Distribution Date, or if no Qualifying Bids have been received for a Certificate, the Auction Administrator will notify the Auction Swap Counterparty of the amount to be paid by the Auction Swap Counterparty to the Auction Administrator under the Auction Swap Agreement, which amount shall be paid by the Auction Swap Counterparty to the Auction Administrator by 11:00 AM New York time on the Auction Distribution Date. To the extent that the winning Qualifying Bid for a Certificate is greater than the Par Price for such Certificate, the Auction Administrator will notify the Auction Swap Counterparty of the amount to be paid on the Auction Distribution Date from Auction Proceeds by the Auction Administrator to the Auction Swap Counterparty, or its designee, under the Auction Swap Agreement.
(f)
If a winning Bidder for a Certificate fails to wire the purchase price for such Certificate so it is received by the Auction Administrator by 11:00 AM New York time on the Auction Distribution Date, the Auction Administrator will notify such Bidder as soon as practicable after 11:00 AM New York time and not later than 12:00 noon New York time that its Qualifying Bid has been rejected and will notify the next highest Bidder(s) for such Certificate, with a copy to the Auction Swap Counterparty, that its Qualifying Bid has been accepted and shall give it wiring instructions for payment of the purchase price for such Certificate into the Auction Proceeds Account by 1:00 PM New York time on such Auction Distribution Date. If no other Qualifying Bids are available to be accepted pursuant to the preceding sentence, then the Auction proceeds for such Certificate for purp oses of the Auction Swap Agreement will be deemed to be zero. If either such event occurs, the Auction Administrator shall also notify the Auction Swap Counterparty of the amount to be paid by the Auction Swap Counterparty or to the Auction Swap Counterparty (or its designee), as applicable, under the Auction Swap Agreement in accordance with Section 2(e) hereof.
(g)
On the Auction Distribution Date, the Auction Administrator will (i) (subject to the surrender of the Certificate by the Holder thereof to the Certificate Registrar pursuant to Section 5 hereof in the event that the Certificate is not then held in book-entry form) distribute to the Holder of each Certificate an amount (to be withdrawn from the Auction Proceeds Account and, if necessary, the Swap Proceeds Account) equal to the sum of (A) the Auction Proceeds, subject to a maximum payment of the Par Price for such Certificate, and (B) the amount, if any, received from the Auction Swap Counterparty under the Auction Swap Agreement with respect to such Certificate, and (ii) pay (from funds in the Auction Proceeds Account) to the Auction Swap Counterparty. Such amounts will be distributed to the Holders of such Auction Certificates as a payment for the sale of such Au ction Certificates in the same manner as such Holders would ordinarily receive distributions on the Auction Certificates. For purposes of this Agreement, “Auction Proceeds”shall mean the portion of the proceeds of the Auction of a Class allocable to a Certificate of such Class.
(h)
No Holder of a Certificate or any party hereto will be responsible for the payment of any fees of, or costs incurred by, the Dealers in connection with the Auction.
