INSTRUCTIONS Title Vll of the Dodd^Fr^k Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the "Dodd-Frank Act") has. created a comprehensive new regulatory regime for derivative products and derivative market participants that takes the form of amendments to the Commodjty Exchange Act ("CEA") and new rules enacted by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC") with respect to "swaps" (a term dial is defined, veiy broadly in the CEA). As a result of these new laws and rules, Deutsche Bank AG ("DB") has registered with the CF'i'C as a swap dealer in respect of its swaps business with US persons. the CEA and CFTC Regulations impose a number of new rcgulalory requirements on swap dealers, including.an obligation to observe certain conduct standards in its swap business with US counterparties and clients. Tlie CFTC lias also made certain swaps subject to mandatoo' clearing (subject to certain exemptions). In order to fulfill these pbligationa and to enable DB to continue to enter into swaps mwith its clients, DB needs (1) to obtain certain information^ representations and a^eements from each client, and (2) to provide each client with certain disclosures and notices. DB is also subject to certain compliance obligations under Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council on OTC derivatives, central counterparties and trade depositories dated 4 July 2012 ("EMIR"). This Swaps Protocol is the means- by which DB intends to meet the various compliance requirements EFTA01412668 applicable to it arising under the Dodd-Frank Act and EMIR. This form may not be- used by a Counterparty that is a Swap Dealer or a Majoi' Swap Participant.
