SECTION 1.7.Tax Treatment

(a) Each of the parties hereto, by entering into this Trust Agreement, (i) expresses its intention that the Shares of the Trust will qualify under applicable tax law as interests in a partnership which holds the Trust Estate of the Trust for its benefit, (ii) agrees that it will file its

own U.S. federal, state and local income, franchise and other tax returns in a manner that is consistent with the treatment of the Trust as a partnership in which each Shareholder thereof is a partner, and (iii) agrees to use reasonable efforts to notify the Manager promptly upon a receipt of any notice from any taxing authority having jurisdiction over such party with respect to the treatment of the Shares of the Trust as anything other than interests in a partnership.

(b) The Tax Matters Partner (as defined in Section 6231 of the Code and any corresponding state and local tax law) of the Trust initially shall be the Manager.

The designation made by each Shareholder in this Section 1.7(b) is hereby approved by each Shareholder as an express condition to becoming a Shareholder. Each Shareholder agrees to take any further action as may be required by regulation or otherwise to effectuate such designation.

c) Each Shareholder shall furnish the Manager upon request with information necessary to enable the Manager to comply with U.S. federal income tax information reporting requirements in respect of such Shareholder’s Shares.

SECTION 1.8.Limited Liability of Shareholders

Each Shareholder, by reason of its status as such, shall be entitled to the same limitation of personal liability extended to stockholders of private corporations for profit organized under the general corporation law of the State of Delaware.

SECTION 1.9.Legal Title

Legal title to all of the Trust Estate shall be vested in the Trust as a separate legal entity; provided, however, that where applicable law in any jurisdiction requires any part of the Trust Estate to be vested otherwise, the Manager may cause legal title to the Trust Estate or any portion thereof to be held by or in the name of the Manager or any other Person (other than a Shareholder) as nominee.

(b) The Resident Delaware Trustee may resign at any time upon the giving of at least sixty (60) days’ advance written notice to the Trust and the Manager; provided, however, that such resignation shall not become effective unless and until a successor Resident Delaware Trustee shall have been appointed by the Manager in accordance with Section 2.5 or by the Court of Chancery as provided in the following sentence. If the Manager does not act within such sixty (60) day period, the Resident Delaware Trustee may apply, at the Trust’s expense, to the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware for the appointment of a successor Resident Delaware Trustee.

SECTION 2.2.Powers

Except to the extent expressly set forth in Section 1.4(a) and this Article II, pursuant to Section 3806(a) of the Delaware Trust Statute, the duty and authority to manage the Trust’s business and affairs is hereby vested in the Manager, which duty and authority the Manager may delegate as provided herein, pursuant to Sections 3806(b)(7) and 3806(i), as applicable, of the Delaware Trust Statute. The Resident Delaware Trustee shall have only the rights, obligations and liabilities specifically provided for herein and shall have no implied rights, duties, obligations and liabilities with respect to the Trust’s business and affairs. The Resident Delaware Trustee shall have the power and authority to execute and file certificates as required by the Delaware Trust Statute and to accept service of process on the Trust in the State of Delaware. The Resident Delaware Trustee shall provide prompt notice to the Manager of its performance of any of the foregoing. The Resident Delaware Trustee shall have no responsibility for, or liability with respect to, the management of the business and affairs of the Trust, except for the performance of the Resident Delaware Trustee’s functions referenced in Section 1.4(a) and this Article II. The Manager shall reasonably keep the Resident Delaware Trustee informed of any actions taken by the Manager with respect to the Trust that would reasonably be expected to affect the Resident Delaware Trustee’s rights, obligations or liabilities hereunder or under the Delaware Trust Statute.

SECTION 2.3.Compensation and Expenses of the Resident Delaware Trustee

The Resident Delaware Trustee shall be entitled to receive from the Manager or an Affiliate of the Manager (including the Trust) reasonable compensation for its services hereunder as set forth in a separate fee agreement and shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the Manager or an Affiliate of the Manager (including the Trust) for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred

by it in the performance of its duties hereunder, including the reasonable compensation, out-of-pocket expenses and disbursements of counsel and such other agents as the Resident Delaware Trustee may employ in connection with the exercise and performance of its rights and duties hereunder.

SECTION 2.4.Indemnification of Resident Delaware Trustee

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Resident Delaware Trustee (in its capacity as trustee and individually), together with its Affiliates and their respective successors, assigns, legal representatives, officers, directors, employees, agents and servants (the “RD Indemnified Parties”), shall be indemnified by the Trust (including indemnification against negligence, gross negligence or breach of duty) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, taxes (excluding any taxes payable by the Resident Delaware Trustee on or measured by any compensation received by the Resident Delaware Trustee for its services hereunder), claims, demands, actions, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements (including reasonable legal fees and expenses and amounts paid in settlement) of any kind and nature whatsoever (collectively, “Expenses”) which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the RD Indemnified Parties in any way relating to or arising out of the Trust’s formation, operation or termination, the execution, delivery and performance of this Trust Agreement or any other agreements to which the Trust is a party or the Resident Delaware Trustee’s action or inaction hereunder or thereunder, except for Expenses that are held by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable proceeding to have resulted from the actual fraud or willful misconduct of the RD Indemnified Parties. The indemnities contained in this Section 2.4 shall survive the termination of this Trust Agreement or the Resident Delaware Trustee’s removal or resignation. Any indemnification provided pursuant to this Section 2.4 will only be recoverable from the Trust Estate and any applicable insurance. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Expenses incurred by an RD Indemnified Party shall, from time to time (within thirty (30) days following a request from an RD Indemnified Party to the Manager), be advanced by, or on behalf of, the Trust prior to the final disposition of any matter upon receipt by the Trust of the undertaking by, or on behalf of, such RD Indemnified Party to repay such amount if it shall be determined that the RD Indemnified Party is not entitled to be indemnified hereunder by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable proceeding.

SECTION 2.5.Successor Resident Delaware Trustee

(a) Upon the Resident Delaware Trustee’s resignation or removal, the Manager shall appoint a successor Resident Delaware Trustee by delivering a written instrument to the outgoing Resident Delaware Trustee. Any successor Resident Delaware Trustee must satisfy the requirements of Section 3807 of the Delaware Trust Statute. Subject to Section 2.1(b), any resignation or removal of the Resident Delaware Trustee and appointment of a successor Resident Delaware Trustee shall not become effective until (i) a written acceptance of appointment is delivered by the successor Resident Delaware Trustee to the outgoing Resident Delaware Trustee and the Manager and (ii) any fees and expenses due to the outgoing Resident Delaware Trustee are paid. Following compliance with the preceding sentence, the successor Resident Delaware Trustee shall become fully vested with all of the outgoing Resident Delaware Trustee’s rights, powers, duties and obligations under this Trust Agreement, with like effect as if

originally named as Resident Delaware Trustee, and the outgoing Resident Delaware Trustee shall be discharged of its duties and obligations under this Trust Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Trust Agreement, any business entity into which the Resident Delaware Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Resident Delaware Trustee shall be a party, or any entity succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Resident Delaware Trustee, shall be the successor of the Resident Delaware Trustee hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto; provided that such successor has trust powers and its principal place of business is located in the State of Delaware.

SECTION 2.6.Liability of Resident Delaware Trustee

Except as otherwise provided in this Article II, in accepting the trust created hereby, Wilmington Trust Company (or any successor Resident Delaware Trustee appointed pursuant to Section 2.1(b) or Section 2.5 hereof) acts solely as Resident Delaware Trustee hereunder and not in its individual capacity, and all Persons having any claim against Wilmington Trust Company (or any successor Resident Delaware Trustee) by reason of the transactions contemplated by this Trust Agreement and any other agreement to which the Trust is a party shall look only to the Trust Estate for payment or satisfaction thereof. The Resident Delaware Trustee shall not be liable or accountable hereunder to the Trust or to any other Person or under any other agreement to which the Trust is a party, except for the Resident Delaware Trustee’s own actual fraud or willful misconduct. In particular, but not by way of limitation:

(a) The Resident Delaware Trustee shall have no liability or responsibility for the validity or sufficiency of this Trust Agreement or for the form, character, genuineness, sufficiency, value or validity of any portion of the Trust Estate;

(b) The Resident Delaware Trustee shall not be liable for any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with the instructions of the Manager, the Independent Committee or the Liquidating Trustee;

(c) The Resident Delaware Trustee shall not have any liability for the acts or omissions of the Manager, the Independent Committee or their delegatees;

(d) The Resident Delaware Trustee shall have no responsibility, and shall not be liable for its failure, to supervise the performance of any obligations of, or to choose, the Manager, the Independent Committee or their delegatees or any DTC Participant or Indirect Participant;

(e) No provision of this Trust Agreement shall require the Resident Delaware Trustee to act or expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its rights or powers hereunder;

(f) Under no circumstances shall the Resident Delaware Trustee be liable for indebtedness evidenced by or other obligations of the Trust arising under this Trust Agreement or any other agreements to which the Trust is a party;

(g) The Resident Delaware Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Trust Agreement, or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation under this Trust Agreement or any other agreements to which the Trust is a party, at the request, order or direction of the Manager unless the Manager has offered to the Resident Delaware Trustee (in its capacity as trustee and individually) security or indemnity satisfactory to the Resident Delaware Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred by the Resident Delaware Trustee (including the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel) therein or thereby;

(h) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Resident Delaware Trustee shall not be required to take any action in any jurisdiction other than in the State of Delaware if the taking of such action will:

(i)

require the consent or approval or authorization or order of or the giving of notice to, or the registration with or taking of any action in respect of, any state or other governmental authority or agency of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware;

(ii)

result in any fee, tax or other governmental charge under the laws of any jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof in existence as of the date hereof, other than the State of Delaware, becoming payable by the Resident Delaware Trustee; or

(iii)

subject the Resident Delaware Trustee to personal jurisdiction, other than in the State of Delaware, for causes of action arising from personal acts unrelated to the consummation of the transactions by the Resident Delaware Trustee, as the case may be, contemplated hereby; and

(i) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no RD Indemnified Party shall have any duties (including fiduciary duties) to the Trust, the Manager, the Independent Committee Members , the Shareholders, the Beneficial Owners or any other Person; provided that this Section 2.6(i) does not eliminate any implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing. Further, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no RD Indemnified Party shall have any liabilities for breach of contract or breach of duties (including fiduciary duties) to the Trust, the Manager, the Independent Committee Members, the Shareholders, the Beneficial Owners or any other Person; provided that this Section 2.6(i) does not limit or eliminate liability for any act or omission that constitutes a bad faith violation of the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

(j) To the extent that, at law or in equity, the Resident Delaware Trustee has duties and liabilities relating to the Trust, the Manager, the Independent Committee Members, the Shareholders, the Beneficial Owners or any other Person, the Resident Delaware Trustee acting under this Trust Agreement shall not be liable to the Trust, the Manager, the Independent Committee Members, the Shareholders, the Beneficial Owners or such other Person for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Trust Agreement. The provisions of this Trust Agreement, to the extent that they restrict or eliminate the Resident Delaware Trustee’s duties and liabilities otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Trust, the Manager, the

Independent Committee Members, the Shareholders and the Beneficial Owners to replace such other duties and liabilities of the Resident Delaware Trustee.

SECTION 2.7.Reliance; Advice of Counsel

(a) In the absence of bad faith, the Resident Delaware Trustee may conclusively rely upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Resident Delaware Trustee and conforming to any applicable requirements of this Trust Agreement in determining the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions contained therein, and shall incur no liability to anyone in acting on any signature, instrument, notice, resolution, request, consent, order, certificate, report, opinion, bond or other document or paper believed by it to be genuine and believed by it to be signed by the proper party or parties and need not investigate any fact or matter pertaining to or in any such document; provided, however, that the Resident Delaware Trustee shall have examined any such certificates or opinions so as to reasonably determine compliance of the same with any applicable requirements of this Trust Agreement. The Resident Delaware Trustee may accept a certified copy of a resolution of the board of directors or other governing body of any corporate party or other entity as conclusive evidence that such resolution has been duly adopted by such body and that the same is in full force and effect. As to any fact or matter the method of the determination of which is not specifically prescribed herein, the Resident Delaware Trustee may for all purposes hereof rely on a certificate, signed by the president or any vice president or by the treasurer or other authorized officers or representatives of the relevant party, as to such fact or matter, and such certificate shall constitute full protection to the Resident Delaware Trustee for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in reliance thereon.

(b) In the exercise or administration of the Trust hereunder and in the performance of its duties and obligations under this Trust Agreement, the Resident Delaware Trustee, at the expense of the Manager or an Affiliate of the Manager (including the Trust), may (i) act directly or through its agents, attorneys, custodians or nominees pursuant to agreements entered into with any of them, and the Resident Delaware Trustee shall not be liable for the conduct or willful misconduct of such agents, attorneys, custodians or nominees if such agents, attorneys, custodians or nominees shall have been selected by the Resident Delaware Trustee with reasonable care, and (ii) consult with counsel, accountants and other skilled professionals, and the Resident Delaware Trustee shall not be liable for anything done, suffered or omitted in good faith by it in accordance with the opinion or advice of any such counsel, accountant or other skilled professional if such counsel, accountant or other skilled professional shall have been selected by the Resident Delaware Trustee with reasonable care.

SECTION 2.8.Payments to the Resident Delaware Trustee

Any amounts paid to the Resident Delaware Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be deemed not to be a part of the Trust Estate immediately after such payment. Any amounts owing to the Resident Delaware Trustee under this Trust Agreement shall constitute a claim against the Trust Estate and, as applicable, the Manager or an Affiliate of the Manager.

ARTICLE III

CREATION AND ISSUANCE OF SHARES; CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS

SECTION 3.1.General

The Manager shall have the power and authority, without Shareholder approval, to cause the Trust to create and issue Shares from time to time as it deems necessary or desirable, including Shares to be issued to the Manager or its Affiliates. The Manager shall be required to own Shares at all times that it acts as the Tax Matters Partner pursuant to Section 1.7(b). The number of Shares authorized shall be unlimited, and the Shares so authorized may be represented in part by fractional Shares, calculated to four decimal places. No Shareholder shall have any preemptive rights with respect to additional Shares determined to be issued by the Manager. From time to time, the Manager may cause the Trust to divide or combine the Shares into a greater or lesser number without thereby changing the proportionate beneficial interests. The Manager may cause the Trust to issue Shares for such consideration and on such terms as it may determine (or for no consideration if pursuant to a Share dividend or split-up), all without action or approval of the Shareholders. All Shares when so issued on the terms determined by the Manager shall be fully paid and non-assessable. Every Shareholder, by virtue of having purchased or otherwise acquired a Share, and each Beneficial Owner, by virtue of acquiring the beneficial ownership of Shares and receiving the benefits of this Trust Agreement, shall be deemed to have expressly consented to and agreed to be bound by the terms of this Trust Agreement.

SECTION 3.2.Offer of Shares

(a)General. The following procedures, as supplemented by the more detailed procedures agreed to from time to time between the Manager and the Trust, as applicable to each Authorized Participant Agreement for the Trust, which may be amended from time to time, will govern the creation and issuance of Creation Baskets. Subject to the limitations upon and requirements for issuance of Creation Baskets stated herein and in such procedures, the number of Creation Baskets which may be issued by the Trust is unlimited; provided further, the Manager shall be authorized to create an unlimited number of Baskets without shareholder approval.

(i) On any Business Day, each Authorized Participant may submit to the Manager a purchase order and subscription agreement to subscribe for and agree to purchase one or more Creation Baskets (such request by an Authorized Participant, a “Purchase Order Subscription Agreement”) in the manner provided in the Authorized Participant Agreement. Purchase Order Subscription Agreements must be received by the Order Cut-Off Time on a Business Day (the “Purchase Order Subscription Date”). The Manager will process Purchase Order Subscription Agreements only from Authorized Participants with respect to which an Authorized Participant Agreement for the Trust is in full force and effect. The Manager will maintain and make available at the Trust’s principal offices during normal business hours a current list of the Authorized Participants for the Trust with respect to which an Authorized Participant Agreement is in full force and

effect. The Manager will deliver (or cause to be delivered) a copy of the Prospectus to each Authorized Participant prior to its execution and delivery of the applicable Authorized Participant Agreement and prior to accepting any Purchase Order Subscription Agreement.

(ii) Any Purchase Order Subscription Agreement is subject to rejection by the Manager pursuant to Section 3.2(c).

(iii) After accepting the Authorized Participant’s Purchase Order Subscription Agreement, the Manager will issue and deliver Creation Baskets to fill such Authorized Participant’s Purchase Order Subscription Agreement within three Business Days immediately following the Purchase Order Subscription Date, but only if by such time as provided in the Authorized Participant Agreement the Manager has received (A) for its own account, the Transaction Fee, and (B) for the account of the Trust, the Creation Basket Capital Contribution due from the Authorized Participant submitting the Purchase Order Subscription Agreement.

(b)Deposit with the Depository. Upon issuing a Creation Basket pursuant to a Purchase Order Subscription Agreement, the Manager will cause the Trust to deposit the Creation Basket with the Depository in accordance with the Depository’s customary procedures, for credit to the account of the Authorized Participant that submitted the Purchase Order Subscription Agreement.

(c)Rejection. The Manager shall have the right, but shall have no obligation, to reject any Purchase Order Subscription Agreement or Creation Basket Capital Contribution: (i) determined by the Manager not to be in proper form; (ii) that the Manager has determined would have adverse tax consequences to the Trust or any Shareholder; (iii) the acceptance or receipt of which would, in the opinion of counsel to the Manager, be unlawful; or (iv) if circumstances outside the control of the Manager make it for all practical purposes not feasible or advisable to process creations of Creation Baskets. The Manager shall not be liable to any person by reason of the rejection of any Purchase Order Subscription Agreement or Creation Basket Capital Contribution.

(d)Transaction Fee. A non-refundable transaction fee will be payable by an Authorized Participant to the Manager for its own account in connection with each Purchase Order Subscription Agreement pursuant to this Section 3.2 and in connection with each Redemption Order of such Authorized Participant pursuant to Section 8.1 (each a “Transaction Fee”). The Manager shall determine the amount of the Transaction Fee to be charged in connection with each creation and redemption, and such amount may be changed as provided below. Even though a single Purchase Order Subscription Agreement or Redemption Order may relate to multiple Creation Baskets, only a single Transaction Fee will be due for each Purchase Order or Redemption Order. The Transaction Fee may subsequently be waived, modified, reduced, increased or otherwise changed by the Manager. The Manager shall notify the Depository of any change to the Transaction Fee and shall not implement any increase until 30 days after the date of that notice.

(e)Global Certificate Only. Certificates for Creation Baskets or any Shares will not be issued, other than the applicable Global Certificate issued to the Depository. So long as the Depository Arrangement is in effect, Creation Baskets will be issued and redeemed and Shares will be transferable solely through the book-entry systems of the Depository and the DTC Participants and their Indirect Participants as more fully described in Section 3.3. The Depository may determine to discontinue providing its service with respect to Creation Baskets and Shares by giving notice to the Manager pursuant to and in conformity with the provisions of the Depository Arrangement and discharging its responsibilities with respect thereto under applicable law. Under such circumstances, the Manager shall take action either to find a replacement for the Depository or, if such a replacement is unavailable, to terminate the Trust.

SECTION 3.3.Book-Entry-Only System, Global Certificate

(a)Global Certificate. The Trust and the Manager and, if necessary, the Depository will enter into the Depository Arrangement pursuant to which the Depository will act as securities depository for the Shares. Shares and Creation Baskets will be represented by the Global Certificate (which may consist of one or more certificates as required by the Depository), which will be registered, as the Depository shall direct, in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for the Depository (or such other nominee as the Depository may designate), and deposited with, or on behalf of, the Depository. No other certificates evidencing the Shares will be issued. The Global Certificate shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A and shall represent such Shares as shall be specified therein, and may provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of outstanding Shares from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate amount of outstanding Shares represented thereby may from time to time be increased or decreased to reflect the creation or redemption of Baskets. Any endorsement of a Global Certificate to reflect the amount, or any increase or decrease in the amount, of outstanding Shares represented thereby shall be made in such manner and upon instructions given by the Manager, on behalf of the Trust, as specified in the Depository Arrangement.

(b)Legend. Any Global Certificate issued to the Depository or its nominee shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect: “Unless this certificate is presented by an authorized representative of The Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation (“DTC”), to the Trust or its agent for registration of transfer, exchange or payment, and any certificate issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in such other name as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC (and any payment is made to Cede & Co. or to such other entity as is required by an authorized representative of DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE, OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL inasmuch as the registered owner hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein.”

(c)The Depository. The Depository has advised the Trust and the Manager as follows: The Depository is a limited-purpose trust company organized under New York Banking Law, a “banking organization” within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the U.S. Federal Reserve System, a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a “clearing agency” registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Depository holds and provides asset servicing for its participants (the “DTC Participants”). The Depository also facilitates the post-trade settlement among DTC Participants of sales and other securities

transactions among the DTC Participants in deposited securities, through electronic computerized book-entry transfers and pledges between DTC Participants’ accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of securities certificates. DTC Participants include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (“DTCC”). DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as both U.S. and non-U.S. securities, brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a DTC Participant, either directly or indirectly (“Indirect Participants”).

(d)Beneficial Owners. Pursuant to the Depository Arrangement, upon the settlement date of any transfer or redemption of Shares, the Depository will credit or debit, on its book-entry registration and transfer system, the number of Shares so transferred or redeemed to the accounts of the appropriate DTC Participants. The accounts to be credited and charged shall be designated by the Manager on behalf of the Trust and each DTC Participant, in the case of a transfer or redemption of Shares. Ownership of beneficial interest in Shares will be limited to DTC Participants, Indirect Participants and persons holding interests through DTC Participants and Indirect Participants. Owners of beneficial interests in Shares (“Beneficial Owners”) will be shown on, and the transfer of beneficial ownership by Beneficial Owners will be effected only through, in the case of DTC Participants, records maintained by the Depository and, in the case of Indirect Participants and Beneficial Owners holding through a DTC Participant or an Indirect Participant, through those records or the records of the relevant DTC Participants. Beneficial Owners are expected to receive, from or through the broker or bank that maintains the account through which the Beneficial Owner has purchased Shares, a written confirmation relating to their purchase of such Shares.

(e)Reliance on Procedures. So long as Cede & Co., as nominee of the Depository, is the registered owner of the Shares, references herein to the registered or record owners of the Shares shall mean Cede & Co. and shall not mean the Beneficial Owners of Shares. Beneficial Owners of Shares will not be entitled to have Shares registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificates in definitive form and will not be considered the record or registered holder of Shares under this Trust Agreement. Accordingly, to exercise any rights of a holder of Shares under this Trust Agreement, a Beneficial Owner must rely on the procedures of the Depository and, if such Beneficial Owner is not a DTC Participant, on the procedures of each DTC Participant or Indirect Participant through which such Beneficial Owner holds its interests. The Trust and the Manager understand that under existing industry practice, if the Trust requests any action of a Beneficial Owner, or a Beneficial Owner desires to take any action that the Depository, as the record owner of all outstanding Shares, is entitled to take, the Depository will notify the DTC Participants regarding such request, such DTC Participants will in turn notify each Indirect Participant holding Shares through it, with each successive Indirect Participant continuing to notify each person holding Shares through it until the request has reached the Beneficial Owner, and in the case of a request or authorization to act being sought or given by a Beneficial Owner, such request or authorization is given by the

Beneficial Owner and relayed back to the Trust through each Indirect Participant and DTC Participant through which the Beneficial Owner’s interest in the Shares is held.

(f)Communication between the Trust and the Beneficial Owners. As described above, the Trust will recognize the Depository or its nominee as the owner of all Shares for all purposes except as expressly set forth in this Trust Agreement. Conveyance of all notices, statements and other communications to Beneficial Owners will be effected in the following manner: pursuant to the Depository Arrangement, the Depository is required to make available to the Trust upon request, and for a fee to be charged to the Trust, a listing of the Share holdings of each DTC Participant. The Trust shall inquire of each such DTC Participant as to the number of Beneficial Owners holding Shares, directly or indirectly, through such DTC Participant. The Trust shall provide each such DTC Participant with sufficient copies of such notice, statement or other communication, in such form, number and at such place as such DTC Participant may reasonably request, in order that such notice, statement or communication may be transmitted by such DTC Participant, directly or indirectly, to such Beneficial Owners. In addition, the Trust shall pay to each such DTC Participant an amount as reimbursement for the expenses attendant to such transmittal, all subject to applicable statutory and regulatory requirements.

(g)Distributions. Any distributions on Shares paid pursuant to Section 3.6 shall be made to the Depository or its nominee, Cede & Co., as the registered owner of all Shares. The Trust and the Manager expect that the Depository or its nominee, upon receipt of any payment of distributions in respect of Shares, shall credit immediately DTC Participants’ accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in Shares as shown on the records of the Depository or its nominee. The Trust and the Manager also expect that payments by DTC Participants to Indirect Participants and Beneficial Owners held through such DTC Participants and Indirect Participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in a “street name,” and will be the responsibility of such DTC Participants and Indirect Participants. None of the Trust, the Resident Delaware Trustee, the Independent Committee or the Manager will have any responsibility or liability for any aspects of the records relating to or notices to Beneficial Owners, or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in Shares, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests or for any other aspect of the relationship between the Depository and the DTC Participants or the relationship between such DTC Participants and the Indirect Participants and Beneficial Owners owning through such DTC Participants or Indirect Participants or between or among the Depository, any Beneficial Owner and any person by or through which such Beneficial Owner is considered to own Shares.

(h)Limitation of Liability. The Global Certificate to be issued hereunder is executed and delivered solely on the Trust’s behalf by the Manager, as manager, in the exercise of the powers and authority conferred and vested in it by this Trust Agreement. The representations, undertakings and agreements made on the part of the Trust in the Global Certificate are made and intended not as personal representations, undertakings and agreements by the Manager or the Resident Delaware Trustee, but are made and intended for the purpose of binding only the Trust. Nothing in the Global Certificate shall be construed as creating any liability on the Manager, the Independent Committee or the Resident Delaware Trustee, individually or personally, to fulfill any representation, undertaking or agreement other than as provided in this Trust Agreement.

(i)Successor Depository. If a successor to DTC shall be employed as Depository hereunder, the Trust and the Manager shall establish procedures acceptable to such successor with respect to the matters addressed in this Article III and Section 6.3.

SECTION 3.4.Assets

All consideration received by the Trust for the issue or sale of Creation Baskets together with all of the Trust Estate in which such consideration is invested, and all income, earnings, profits and proceeds thereof, including any proceeds derived from the sale, exchange or liquidation of such assets, shall belong to the Trust for all purposes, subject only to the rights of the Trust’s creditors and except as may otherwise be required by applicable tax laws, and shall be so recorded upon the Trust’s books of account.

SECTION 3.5.Liabilities

The Trust Estate shall be charged with the Trust’s liabilities and all expenses, costs, charges and reserves attributable to the Trust. The Manager shall have full discretion, to the extent not inconsistent with applicable law, to determine which items shall be treated as income and which items shall be treated as capital, and each such determination and allocation shall be conclusive and binding upon the Shareholders.

SECTION 3.6.Distributions

Distributions, if any, on Shares may be paid with such frequency as the Manager may determine, which may be daily or otherwise, to the Shareholders, from such of the income and capital gains, accrued or realized, from the Trust Estate as the Manager may determine, or from the capital of the Trust Estate, after providing for actual and accrued liabilities. All distributions on Shares shall be distributed to the Shareholders in accordance with Article VII at the date and time of record established by the Manager for the payment of such distribution.

SECTION 3.7.Voting Rights

Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, on each matter submitted to a vote of the Shareholders, each Shareholder shall be entitled to one vote per Share based upon the number of Shares or fraction thereof standing in its name on the Trust’s books in accordance with Section 3.3(d).

SECTION 3.8.Equality

Except as provided herein, all Shares shall represent an equal proportionate beneficial interest in the Trust’s assets subject to the Trust’s liabilities, and each Share shall be equal to each other Share. The Manager may from time to time divide or combine the Shares into a greater or lesser number of Shares without thereby changing the proportionate beneficial interest in the Trust’s assets or in any way affecting the rights of Shareholders.

ARTICLE IV

THE MANAGER

SECTION 4.1.Management of the Trust

Pursuant to Section 3806(a) of the Delaware Trust Statute and the powers vested in the Manager pursuant to Section 2.2, the Trust shall be managed by the Manager, and the conduct of the Trust’s business shall be controlled and conducted solely by the Manager (subject to the limited powers and authority accorded to the Resident Delaware Trustee in Sections 1.4(a) and 2.2 and accorded to the Independent Committee in Section 5.2, respectively), in accordance with this Trust Agreement.

SECTION 6.2.Transfer of Manager’s Shares

(a) Upon an Event of Withdrawal (as defined in Section 14.1), the Manager’s Shares shall be purchased by the Trust for a purchase price in cash equal to the Net Asset Value per Share. The Manager will not cease to be the Trust’s Manager merely upon the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event with respect to the Manager.

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by law, and on sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to the Shareholders of their right to vote thereon if the transaction is other than with an Affiliate of the Manager, nothing in this Trust Agreement shall be deemed to prevent the merger of the Manager with another corporation or other entity, the reorganization of the Manager into or with any other corporation or other entity, the transfer of all the capital stock of the Manager or the assumption of the rights, duties and liabilities of the Manager by, in the case of a merger, reorganization or consolidation, the surviving corporation or other entity by operation of law or the transfer of the Manager’s Shares to an Affiliate of the Manager; provided that the Manager or its successor continues as the Manager hereunder.

The Manager may impose such restrictions by amending this Trust Agreement in accordance with Section 12.1; provided, however, that such amendment would not result in the delisting or suspension of trading of any Shares on the principal Exchange on which such Shares are then traded.

(b) Nothing contained in this Trust Agreement shall preclude the settlement of any transactions involving Shares entered into through the facilities of any Exchange on which such Shares are listed for trading.

ARTICLE VII

(c) In accordance with Treasury Regulation section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), immediately prior to the distribution of cash in respect of a Shareholder’s Shares, the Capital Accounts of all Shareholders shall, immediately prior to such distribution, be adjusted (consistent with the provisions hereof) upward or downward to reflect any Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss attributable to each Trust property, as if such Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss had been recognized upon an actual sale of such Trust property, immediately prior to such distribution, and had been allocated to the Shareholders at such time pursuant to Section 7.3.

SECTION 7.2.Monthly Closing of the Books

Within 45 days after the end of each calendar month or such shorter period as required for the final closing of the books for the taxable year, the Trust shall conduct an interim closing of the books of the Trust as of the end of the last day of that calendar month. On the basis of the closing of the books for each calendar month, the Trust shall determine the amount of Profit and Loss of the Trust attributable to that calendar month. Trust Profits and Losses shall be determined in accordance with the accounting methods followed by the Trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

SECTION 7.3.Monthly Allocations

All allocations to Shareholders of items included within the Trust’s Profits and Losses attributable to each calendar month shall be allocated solely among the Shareholders recognized as shareholders as of the close of the last trading day of the preceding month, as follows:

(a) For purposes of maintaining the Trust’s Capital Accounts and in determining the rights of the Shareholders among themselves, except as otherwise provided in this Article VII, each item of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit shall be allocated among Shareholders in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.

(b) Any item of loss or deduction otherwise allocated to the Manager pursuant to Section 7.3(a) which is in excess of such Manager’s positive Adjusted Capital Account balance (following adjustment to reflect the allocation of all other items for such period) shall instead be allocated to the other Shareholders in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests to the extent such item of loss or deduction exceeds such Manager’s Adjusted Capital Account balance; provided that the allocation of any such item to such other Shareholders shall only be made hereunder to the extent the allocation would not result in or increase a negative balance in the Adjusted Capital Account of such other Shareholders. If such an allocation occurs, items of

income or gain that would otherwise be allocated to the Manager equal to the amount of such allocated loss or deduction will be allocated to the other Shareholders in accordance with their Percentage Interests as quickly as possible.

(c) If any Shareholder unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Treasury Regulation sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), items of Trust income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Shareholder in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate a deficit in its Adjusted Capital Account created by such adjustments, allocations or distributions as quickly as possible. This Section 7.3(c) is intended to constitute a “qualified income offset” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d).

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Trust Agreement, upon or prior to the issuance of additional Shares, the Manager shall have the sole and complete discretion, without the approval of any other Shareholder, to amend any provision of this Article VII in any manner as is necessary, appropriate or advisable to comply with any current or future provisions of the Code or the Treasury Regulations or to implement the terms and conditions of any Shares.

SECTION 7.4Code Section 754 Adjustments

To the extent an adjustment to the tax basis of any Trust property pursuant to Section 743(b) or 743(c) of the Code is required, pursuant to Treasury Regulation section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis) and such item of gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Shareholders in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such regulation. For purposes of computing the adjustments under section 743(b) of the Code, the Trust is authorized (but not required) to adopt a convention whereby the price paid by a transferee of Shares will be deemed to be the lowest quoted closing price of the Shares on the Exchange during the calendar month in which such transfer is deemed to occur pursuant to Section 6.3 without regard to the actual price paid by the transferee.

SECTION 7.5Allocation of Profit and Loss for U.S. Federal Income Tax Purposes

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Trust Agreement, each item of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of the Trust shall be allocated among the Shareholders in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.

(b) In an attempt to eliminate Book-Tax Disparities attributable to Adjusted Property, items of income, gain, and loss will be allocated for federal income tax purposes among the Shareholders of the Trust as follows:

(i)

Items attributable to an Adjusted Property will be allocated among the Shareholders of the Trust in a manner consistent with the principles of section 704(c) of the Code to take into account the Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss attributable to the property and the allocations thereof pursuant to Section 7.3(a) and (b).

(ii)

Any items of income, gain, loss or deduction otherwise allocable under this Section 7.5 shall be subject to allocation by the Manager in a manner designed to eliminate, to the maximum extent possible, Book-Tax Disparities in an Adjusted Property otherwise resulting from the application of the ceiling limitation under section 704(c) principles to the allocations provided under this Section.

(iii)

Subject to this Section 7.5(b), any items of income, gain, loss or deduction otherwise allocable to the Manager pursuant to Section 7.3(a) that constitutes the tax corollary of an item of “book” income, gain, loss or deduction that has been allocated to the other Shareholders of the Trust pursuant to Section 7.3(b) shall be allocated to such other Shareholders in the same manner and to the same extent provided in this Section 7.5(b).

(iv)

If any Shareholder unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Treasury Regulation section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d), items of income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Shareholder in an amount and manner consistent with the allocations of income and gain pursuant to Section 7.3(c).

(c) The tax allocations prescribed by this Section 7.5 shall be made to each holder of a Share. For purposes of this Section 7.5, tax allocations shall be made to the Manager’s Shares on a Share-equivalent basis.

(d) The allocation of income and loss (and items thereof) for U.S. federal income tax purposes set forth in this Section 7.5 is intended to allocate taxable income and loss among Shareholders generally in the ratio and to the extent that net profit and net loss shall be allocated to such Shareholders under Section 7.3 so as to eliminate, to the extent possible, any disparity between a Shareholder’s book capital account and his tax capital account, consistent with the principles set forth in sections 704(b) and (c)(2) of the Code.

(e) Notwithstanding this Section 7.5, if, after taking into account any distributions to be made with respect to such Share for the relevant period pursuant to Section 7.7 herein, any allocation would produce a deficit in the book capital account of a Share, the portion of such allocation that would create such a deficit shall instead be allocated pro rata to the book capital accounts of all the remaining Shareholders in the Trust (subject to the same limitation).

SECTION 7.6Effect of Section 754 Election

All items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit recognized by the Trust for federal income tax purposes and allocated to Shareholders in accordance with the provisions of this Trust Agreement shall be determined without regard to any election under section 754 of the Code which may be made by the Trust; provided, however, that such allocations, once made, shall be adjusted as necessary or appropriate to take into account those adjustments permitted or required by sections 734 or 743 of the Code.

SECTION 7.7Allocation of Distributions

Determinations to make distributions with respect to Shares shall be made by the Manager, and the Manager shall have sole discretion in determining the amount and frequency of such distributions; provided, however, that no distribution shall be made that violates the Delaware Trust Statute. The aggregate distributions made in a Fiscal Year (other than distributions on termination, which shall be allocated in the manner described in Article XIII) shall be allocated among the holders of record of Shares in the ratio in which the number of Shares held of record by each of them bears to the number of Shares held of record by all Shareholders of the Trust as of the record date of such distribution; provided, further, however, that any distribution made in respect of a Share shall not exceed the book capital account for such Share.

SECTION 7.8Allocations with Respect to Transferred Shares

For purposes of this Article VII, items of the Trust’s income, gain, loss, deduction and credit attributable to a transferred Share shall, for federal income tax purposes, be determined on an annual basis and prorated on a monthly basis (or other basis, as required or permitted by section 706 of the Code) and shall be allocated to such Shareholders who own the Shares as of the close of the Exchange on the last day of the month in which the transfer is recognized by the Trust; provided that, gain or loss on the sale or other disposition of all or a substantial portion of the assets of the Trust shall be allocated to the Shareholders who own Shares on the last day of the month in which such gain or loss is recognized for federal income tax purposes. The Manager may revise, alter or otherwise modify such methods of determination and allocation as it determines necessary, to the extent permitted by section 706 of the Code and the regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder.

SECTION 7.9Liability for State and Local and Other Taxes

In the event that the Trust shall be separately subject to taxation by any state or local or by any foreign taxing authority, the Trust shall be obligated to pay such taxes to such jurisdiction. In the event that the Trust shall be required to make payments to any federal, state or local or any foreign taxing authority in respect of any Shareholder’s allocable share of income, the amount of such taxes shall be considered a loan by the Trust to such Shareholder, and such Shareholder shall be liable for, and shall pay to the Trust, any taxes so required to be withheld and paid over by the Trust within ten (10) days after the Manager’s request therefor. Such Shareholder shall also be liable for interest on the amount of taxes paid over by the Trust to the IRS or other taxing authority, from the date of the Manager’s request for payment to the date of payment, at the rate of 2.00% over the prime rate as published by the Wall Street Journal from time to time. Any actual distribution by the Trust to such Shareholder shall be reduced by any obligations owed to the Trust by the Shareholder, including the amount of any taxes required to be paid over by the Trust to the IRS or other taxing authority and interest thereon as aforesaid. Amounts, if any, deducted by the Trust from any actual distribution to such Shareholder shall be treated as an actual distribution to such Shareholder for all purposes of this Trust Agreement.

SECTION7.10 Consent to Methods

The methods set forth in this Article VII by which distributions are made and items of Profit and Loss are allocated are hereby expressly consented to by each Shareholder as an express condition to becoming a Shareholder.

ARTICLE VIII

REDEMPTIONS

SECTION 8.1.Redemption of Redemption Baskets

The following procedures, as supplemented by the more detailed procedures specified in the attachment to the applicable Authorized Participant Agreement, which may be amended from time to time in accordance with the provisions of such Authorized Participant Agreement (and any such amendment will not constitute an amendment of this Trust Agreement), will govern the Trust with respect to the redemption of Redemption Baskets.

(a) On any Business Day, an Authorized Participant with respect to which an Authorized Participant Agreement is in full force and effect may redeem one or more Redemption Baskets standing to the credit of the Authorized Participant on the records of the Depository by delivering a request for redemption to the Manager (such request, a “Redemption Order”) in the manner specified in the procedures specified in the attachment to the Authorized Participant Agreement, as amended from time to time in accordance with the provisions of the Authorized Participant Agreement (and any such amendment will not constitute an amendment of this Trust Agreement).

(b) To be effective, a Redemption Order must be submitted on a Business Day by the Order Cut-Off Time in form satisfactory to the Manager (the Business Day on which the Redemption Order is so submitted, the “Redemption Order Date”). The Manager shall reject any Redemption Order the fulfillment of which its counsel advises may be illegal under applicable laws and regulations, and the Manager shall have no liability to any person for rejecting a Redemption Order in such circumstances.

(c) Subject to deduction of any tax or other governmental charges due thereon, if any, the redemption distribution (“Redemption Distribution”) shall consist of an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the number of Redemption Baskets set forth in the relevant Redemption Order by (ii) the Net Asset Value Per Basket on the Redemption Order Date.

(d) Within three Business Days immediately following the Redemption Order Date (the “Redemption Settlement Time”), if the Manager’s account at the Depository has by such time, as provided in the Authorized Participant Agreement, been credited with the Redemption Baskets being tendered for redemption and the Manager has by such time received the Transaction Fee, the Manager shall deliver the Redemption Distribution through the Depository to the account of the Authorized Participant as recorded on the book entry system of the Depository. If by such Redemption Settlement Time the Manager has not received from a redeeming Authorized Participant all Redemption Baskets comprising the Redemption Order, the Manager will (i) settle the Redemption Order to the extent of whole Redemption Baskets received from the Authorized Participant and (ii) keep the redeeming Authorized Participant’s Redemption Order open until such time as provided in the Authorized Participant Agreement as

to the balance of the Redemption Order (such balance, the “Suspended Redemption Order”). If the Redemption Basket(s) comprising the Suspended Redemption Order are credited to the Manager’s account at the Depository by such time as provided in the Authorized Participant Agreement on such following Business Day, the Redemption Distribution with respect to the Suspended Redemption Order shall be paid in the manner provided in the second preceding sentence. If by such Redemption Settlement Time the Manager has not received from the redeeming Authorized Participant all Redemption Baskets comprising the Suspended Redemption Order, the Manager will settle the Suspended Redemption Order to the extent of whole Redemption Baskets then received and any balance of the Suspended Redemption Order will be cancelled. Notwithstanding the foregoing, when and under such conditions as the Manager may from time to time determine, the Manager shall be authorized to deliver the Redemption Distribution notwithstanding that a Redemption Basket has not been credited to the Trust’s account at the Depository if the Authorized Participant has collateralized its obligation to deliver the Redemption Basket on such terms as the Manager may, in its sole discretion, from time to time agree.

(e) The Manager may, in its discretion, suspend the right of redemption, or postpone the Redemption Settlement Date: (i) for any period during which the Exchange is closed other than customary weekend and holiday closings, or trading is suspended or restricted; (ii) for any period during which an emergency exists as a result of which delivery, disposal or evaluation of the Trust’s assets is not reasonably practicable; or (iii) for such other period as the Manager determines to be necessary for the protection of the Beneficial Owners. The Manager will not be liable to any person or in any way for any loss or damages that may result from any such suspension or postponement.

(f) Redemption Baskets effectively redeemed pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8.1 shall be cancelled by the Trust in accordance with the Depository’s procedures.

SECTION 8.2.Other Redemption Procedures

The Manager from time to time may, but shall have no obligation to, establish procedures with respect to redemption of Shares in lot sizes smaller than the Redemption Basket and permitting the Redemption Distribution to be in a form, and delivered in a manner, other than that specified in Section 8.1.

ARTICLE IX

THE SHAREHOLDERS

SECTION 9.1.No Management or Control; Exercise of Rights Through DTC

The Shareholders (excluding the Manager) shall not participate in the management or control of the Trust’s business nor shall they transact any business for the Trust or have the power to sign for or bind the Trust, said power being vested solely and exclusively in the Manager. Except as provided in Section 9.4, each Share owned by a Shareholder shall be fully paid and no assessment shall be made against any Shareholder. No salary shall be paid to any Shareholder in its capacity as a Shareholder, nor shall any Shareholder have a drawing account or earn interest on its contribution. By the purchase and acceptance or other lawful delivery and

acceptance of Shares, each Beneficial Owner shall be deemed to have the rights and obligations of a Shareholder and beneficiary of the Trust and to be vested with a beneficial undivided interest in the Trust to the extent of the Shares owned beneficially by such Beneficial Owner, subject to the terms and conditions of this Trust Agreement. The rights of Beneficial Owners under this Trust Agreement must be exercised by DTC Participants or Indirect Participants, as applicable, acting on their behalf in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depository, as provided in Section 3.3.

Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, any of the Shareholders and any shareholder, officer, director, employee or other Person holding a legal or beneficial interest in an entity that is a Shareholder may engage in or possess an interest in other business ventures of every nature and description, independently or with others, and the pursuit of such ventures, even if competitive with the Trust’s business, shall not be deemed wrongful or improper.

SECTION 9.3.Rights of Shareholders

The Shareholders shall have the following rights, powers and privileges:

(a) Subject to such standards as may be established by the Manager from time to time (including standards governing what information and documents are to be furnished at what time and location and at whose expense and with what required advance notice), the Shareholders shall have the right to obtain from the Trust such information regarding the business and financial condition of the Trust as, in the sole discretion of the Manager, is just and reasonable under applicable circumstances (including information required to be made available to Shareholders under CFTC rules and regulations), upon reasonable demand for any purpose reasonably related to the Shareholder’s interest as a Beneficial Owner of the Trust; provided that the Manager shall have the right to keep confidential from the Shareholders and Beneficial Owners, for such period of time as the Manager deems reasonable, any information that the Manager reasonably believes to be in the nature of trade secrets or other information the disclosure of which the Manager in good faith believes is not in the best interest of the Trust or could damage the Trust or its business or which the Trust is required by law or by agreement with a third party to keep confidential. The provisions of this Section 9.3(a) supersede and replace the information rights of Shareholders or Beneficial Owners under Section 3819 of the Delaware Trust Statute.

(b) The Shareholders shall receive their share of the distributions provided for in this Trust Agreement, if any, in the manner and at the times provided for in this Trust Agreement.

(c) Except for the Shareholders’ redemption rights set forth in Article VIII hereof, the Shareholders shall have the right to demand the return of their Capital Account only upon the dissolution and winding up of the Trust and only to the extent of funds available therefor. In no event shall a Shareholder be entitled to demand or receive property other than cash. Except with respect to class differences, no Shareholder shall have priority over any other Shareholder either as to the return of capital or as to Profits, Losses or distributions. The Shareholders shall not have any right to bring an action for partition against the Trust.

(d) Unless otherwise specified herein, Shareholders by Majority Vote may vote to: (i) continue the Trust as provided in Section 14.1(a); (ii) consent to such matters as are set forth in Section 6.2(b) to the extent such transaction is other than with an Affiliate of the Manager; and (iii) remove the Manager on ninety (90) days’ prior notice to the Manager (provided, however, that during such 90-day period, the Manager shall retain the authority to admit a non-Affiliate additional manager, pursuant to Section 4.2(k)).

(e) Shareholders holding 66 2/3% of the issued and outstanding Shares (excluding the Shares of the Manager) may vote to dissolve the Trust, on ninety (90) Business Days’ prior written notice, as provided in Section 14.1(e).

Except as set forth above or elsewhere in this Trust Agreement, the Shareholders shall have no voting or other rights with respect to the Trust.

SECTION 9.4.Limitation on Liability

(a) Except as provided in Sections 4.7(f), and 7.9, and as otherwise provided under Delaware law, the Shareholders shall be entitled to the limitation of personal liability referenced in Section 1.8 and the Delaware Trust Statute. In addition, the Trust shall not make a claim against a Shareholder with respect to amounts distributed to such Shareholder unless, under Delaware Law or other applicable law, such Shareholder is liable to repay such amount.

(b) The Trust shall indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by law and the other provisions of this Trust Agreement, and to the extent of the applicable Trust Estate, each Shareholder (excluding the Manager to the extent of its ownership of any Shares) against any claims of liability asserted against such Shareholder solely because of its status as such (other than for taxes for which such Shareholder is liable under Section 7.9).

(c) Every written note, bond, contract, instrument, certificate or undertaking made or issued by the Manager on behalf of the Trust shall give notice to the effect that the same was executed or made by or on behalf of the Trust and that the obligations of such instrument are not binding upon the Shareholders individually but are binding only upon the assets and property of the Trust, and no resort shall be had to the Shareholders’ personal property for satisfaction of any obligation or claim thereunder, and appropriate references may be made to this Trust Agreement and may contain any further recital that the Manager deems appropriate, but the omission thereof shall not operate to bind the Shareholders individually or otherwise invalidate any such note, bond, contract, instrument, certificate or undertaking. Nothing contained in this Section 9.4 shall diminish the limitation on the liability of the Trust to the extent set forth in Sections 3.4 and 3.5.

SECTION 9.5.Derivative Actions

(a) No Person who is not a Shareholder shall be entitled to bring any derivative action, suit or other proceeding on behalf of the Trust. No Shareholder may maintain a derivative action on behalf of the Trust unless holders of at least twenty percent (20%) of the outstanding Shares join in the bringing of such action.

(b) In addition to the requirements set forth in Section 3816 of the Delaware Trust Statute and Section 9.5(a), a Shareholder may bring a derivative action on behalf of the Trust

only if the following conditions are met: (i) the Shareholder or Shareholders must make a pre-suit demand upon the Manager to bring the subject action unless an effort to cause the Manager to bring such an action is not likely to succeed (for this purpose a demand on the Manager shall only be deemed not likely to succeed and therefore be excused if the Manager has a financial interest in the transaction at issue, and the Manager shall not be deemed interested in a transaction or otherwise disqualified from ruling on the merits of a Shareholder demand by virtue of the fact that (a) the Manager receives remuneration for its service as manager of the Trust or as manager of one or more investment companies that are affiliated with the Trust, (b) the Manager or one or more Affiliates of the Manager were identified as potential defendants or witnesses, or (c) the Manager approved the act being challenged (if the act did not result in any material personal benefit to the Manager, or if the act did not result in any material benefit that is not shared pro rata with other Shareholders)); (ii) unless a demand is not required under clause (i) of this paragraph, the Manager must be afforded a reasonable amount of time (in any case, not less than ninety (90) days) to consider such Shareholder demand and to investigate its basis, and the Manager shall be entitled to retain counsel or other advisers in considering the merits of the demand and may require an undertaking by the Shareholders making such demand to reimburse the Trust for the expense of any such advisers in the event that the Manager determines not to bring such action.

ARTICLE XII

AMENDMENT OF TRUST AGREEMENT; MEETINGS

SECTION 12.1.Amendments to the Trust Agreement

(a) Except as otherwise provided herein, amendments to this Trust Agreement require a Majority Vote of Shareholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, where any action taken or authorized pursuant to any provision of this Trust Agreement requires the approval or affirmative vote of Shareholders, an amendment to such provision(s) shall be effective only upon the written approval or affirmative vote of the minimum number of Shareholders that would be required to take or authorize such action, or as may otherwise be required by applicable law.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in Section 12.1(a), the Manager may, without the approval of the Shareholders, make such amendments to this Trust Agreement that (i) are necessary to add to the representations, duties or obligations of the Manager or surrender any right or power granted to the Manager herein, for the benefit of the Shareholders, (ii) are necessary to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision herein that may be inconsistent with any other provision herein or in the Prospectus, or to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Trust Agreement or the Prospectus that will not be inconsistent with the provisions of the Trust Agreement or the Prospectus, (iii) are necessary to permit the continued listing of the Shares on the Exchange, or (iv) the Manager deems advisable, provided, however, that no amendment shall be adopted pursuant to this clause (iv) unless the adoption thereof (A) is not materially adverse to the interests of the Shareholders; (B) except as otherwise provided in Section 12.1(c) below, does not affect the allocation of Profits and Losses among the Shareholders (excluding the Manager) or between the Shareholders and the Manager; and (C) does not adversely affect the limitations on liability of the Shareholders, as described in Article IX, or the status of the Trust as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

(c) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in Sections 12.1(a) and (b) hereof, the Manager may, without the approval of the Shareholders, amend the provisions of Article VII of this Trust Agreement relating to the allocations of Profits, Losses, and distributions among the Shareholders if the Trust is advised at any time by the Trust’s accountants or legal counsel that the allocations provided in Article VII of this Trust Agreement are unlikely to be respected for U.S. federal income tax purposes, either because of the promulgation of new or revised Treasury Regulations under Section 704 of the Code or other developments in the law. The Manager is empowered to amend such provisions to the minimum extent necessary in accordance with the advice of its accountants and counsel to effect the allocations and distributions provided in this Trust Agreement. New allocations made by the Manager in reliance upon the advice of the accountants or counsel described above shall be deemed to be made pursuant to the obligation of the Manager to the Trust and the Shareholders, and no such new allocation shall give rise to any claim or cause of action by any Shareholder.

(d) Upon amendment of this Trust Agreement, the Certificate of Trust shall also be amended, if required by the Delaware Trust Statute, to reflect such change.

(e) No amendment shall be made to this Trust Agreement without the Resident Delaware Trustee’s consent if it reasonably believes that such amendment adversely affects any of the Resident Delaware Trustee’s rights, duties or liabilities. At the expense of the Trust Estate, the Resident Delaware Trustee shall execute and file any amendment to the Certificate of Trust if so directed by the Manager or if such amendment is required in the Resident Delaware Trustee’s opinion.

(f) The Resident Delaware Trustee shall be under no obligation to execute any amendment to this Trust Agreement or to any agreement to which the Trust is a party until it has received an instruction letter from the Manager, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Resident Delaware Trustee, (i) directing the Resident Delaware Trustee to execute such amendment, (ii) representing and warranting to the Resident Delaware Trustee that such execution is authorized and permitted by the terms of this Trust Agreement and (if applicable) such other agreement to which the Trust is a party and does not conflict with or violate any other agreement to which the Trust is a party and (iii) confirming that such execution and acts related thereto are covered by the indemnity provisions of this Trust Agreement in favor of the Resident Delaware Trustee.

(g) This Trust Agreement may be amended, waived or otherwise modified only by a written instrument adopted in accordance with this Section 12.1.

SECTION 12.2.Meetings of the Trust

(a) To the extent required by the Exchange, meetings of the Shareholders shall be called by the Manager at least annually. In addition, meetings of the Shareholders shall be called by the Manager upon the written request of Shareholders holding at least 20% of the issued and outstanding Shares of the Trust (excluding any Shares held by the Manager or its Affiliates). Such call for a meeting shall be deemed to have been made upon the receipt by the Manager of a written request from the requisite percentage of Shareholders. Upon (i) the decision of the Manager, in its sole discretion, to call a meeting or (ii) the call for a meeting pursuant to the written request of Shareholders holding at least 20% of the issued and outstanding Shares of the Trust (excluding any Shares held by the Manager or its Affiliates), the Manager shall deposit in the United States mail and, if such notice is in response to a request described in Clause (ii) above, then within thirty (30) days after receipt of said request, written notice to all Shareholders of the meeting and the purpose of the meeting, which shall be held on a date, not less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days after the date of mailing of said notice, at a reasonable time and place. Any notice of meeting shall be accompanied by a description of the proposed action to be taken at the meeting. In addition, in the event that the proposed action to be taken at such meeting would result in altering any provision within this Trust Agreement with respect to the liability of the Shareholders for the debts of the Trust, the Manager shall deliver to all Shareholders, no later than five (5) days prior to the date of such meeting, an opinion of independent counsel as to the effect of such proposed action on the liability of Shareholders for the debts of the Trust.

(b) For the purpose of determining Shareholders who are entitled to notice of and to vote at any meeting, the Manager may from time to time fix a date, not more than 75 days prior

to the date of any meeting of Shareholders, as a record date for the determination of the Persons to be treated as Shareholders of record for such purpose.

(c) Shareholders of record on the record date for a meeting of Shareholders may vote in person or by duly executed proxy. No proxy shall be valid after six months from the date of its execution, unless a longer period is expressly stated in the proxy. No proxy shall be voted at the meeting unless it shall have been delivered to the Manager for verification prior to the time at which a vote shall be taken. Proxies may be solicited in the name of the Manager or one or more representatives of the Manager.

The Trust shall dissolve at any time upon the happening of any of the following events:

(a) The filing of a certificate of cancellation of the Manager’s certificate of formation, the expiration of ninety (90) days after the date of notice to the Manager of cancellation without a reinstatement of its certificate of formation, or the removal or voluntary withdrawal of the Manager without the appointment of a successor pursuant to Section 4.10 or Section 9.3(d) (each of the foregoing events, an “Event of Withdrawal”), unless at the time there is at least one additional manager, in which case, such additional manager shall become the Manager and carry on the Trust’s business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, at the time of any Event of Withdrawal, the Manager is the sole manager of the Trust, Shareholders by Majority Vote shall have the right to agree to continue the business of the Trust (such continued Trust to be referred to herein as the “Reconstituted Trust”) and to select, effective as of the date of such event, one or more successor Managers. Any such election must occur within ninety (90) days of such event and must provide for the election of a manager who is duly licensed and qualified under U.S. federal and state law to conduct the duties of a manager with respect to such Reconstituted Trust.

(b) The occurrence of any event that would make unlawful the continued existence of the Trust.

(c) The suspension, revocation, statutory disqualification or termination of the Manager’s registration as a commodity pool operator under the CEA or membership as a commodity pool operator with the NFA (if, in either case, such registration is required under the CEA or the rules promulgated thereunder), unless at the time of such suspension, revocation, statutory disqualification or termination there is at least one remaining Manager whose registration or membership has not been suspended, revoked or terminated.

(d) A Bankruptcy Event with respect to the Trust.

(e) The Shareholders holding at least 66 2/3% of the issued and outstanding Shares (excluding the Shares of the Manager) vote to dissolve the Trust, notice of which is sent to the Manager not less than ninety (90) Business Days prior to the effective date of termination.

(f) The determination of the Manager that the aggregate Net Asset Value of the Trust in relation to the operating expenses of the Trust make it unreasonable or imprudent to continue the business of the Trust.

(g) The Trust is required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

(h) The Depository is unable or unwilling to continue to perform its functions, and a comparable replacement is unavailable.

In the event the initial Manager ceases to be the manager of the Trust, any successor Manager appointed or elected to carry on the Trust’s business shall be prohibited, without the written consent of the withdrawing Manager, from using the name “Nuveen”, any derivative thereof, or any trademark, service mark or logo owned or licensed by the Manager of any of its Affiliates in connection with the operation of the Trust.

A Bankruptcy Event with respect to, or the death, legal disability, dissolution or withdrawal of, any Shareholder (excluding the Manager, and as long as such Shareholder is not the sole non-Manager Shareholder) shall not result in the termination of the Trust, and such Shareholder, his estate, custodian or personal representative shall have no right to withdraw or value such Shareholder’s Shares. Each Shareholder (excluding the Manager) (and any assignee thereof) expressly agrees that in the event of his death, he waives on behalf of himself and his estate, and he directs the legal representative of his estate and any person interested therein to waive, the furnishing of any inventory, accounting or appraisal of the assets of the Trust and any right to an audit or examination of the books of the Trust, except for such rights as are set forth in Article IX relating to the reports of the Trust.

SECTION 14.2.Distributions on Dissolution

Upon the dissolution of the Trust, the Manager (or in the event there is no Manager, such Person (the “Liquidating Trustee”) as the Shareholders by Majority Vote may propose and approve) shall take full charge of the Trust Estate. Any Liquidating Trustee so appointed shall have and may exercise, without further authorization or approval of any of the parties hereto, all of the powers conferred upon the Manager under the terms of this Trust Agreement, subject to all

of the applicable limitations, contractual and otherwise, upon the exercise of such powers, and provided that the Liquidating Trustee shall not have general liability for the acts, omissions, obligations and expenses of the Trust. Thereafter, in accordance with Section 3808(e) of the Delaware Trust Statute, the business and affairs of the Trust shall be wound up and all assets shall be liquidated as promptly as is consistent with obtaining the fair value thereof, and the proceeds therefrom shall be applied and distributed in the following order of priority: (a) to the expenses of liquidation and termination and to creditors, including Shareholders who are creditors, to the extent otherwise permitted by law, in satisfaction of liabilities of the Trust (whether by payment or the making of reasonable provision for payment thereof), other than liabilities for distributions to Shareholders, and (b) to each Shareholder in accordance with its positive book capital account balance, less any amount owing by such Shareholder, after giving effect to all adjustments made pursuant to Article VII and all distributions theretofore made to the Shareholders pursuant to Article VII.

SECTION 14.3.Termination; Certificate of Cancellation

Following the dissolution and distribution of the Trust’s assets, the Trust shall terminate and the Manager or Liquidating Trustee, as the case may be, shall instruct the Resident Delaware Trustee to execute and cause a certificate of cancellation of the Certificate of Trust to be filed in accordance with the Delaware Trust Statute. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Trust Agreement, the existence of the Trust as a separate legal entity shall continue until the filing of such certificate of cancellation.

ARTICLE XV

POWER OF ATTORNEY

SECTION 15.1.Power of Attorney Executed Concurrently

Concurrently with the purchase or acquisition of a Share, each Shareholder shall be deemed to have executed and delivered to the Manager a power of attorney (“Power of Attorney”) as provided in this Article XV. Each Shareholder thereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Manager and its officers, with full power of substitution, as the true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent for such Shareholder with full power and authority to act in its name and on its behalf in the execution, acknowledgment, filing and publishing of Trust documents, including the following:

(a) Any certificates and other instruments, including any applications for authority to do business and amendments thereto that the Manager deems appropriate to qualify or continue the Trust as a business or statutory trust in the jurisdictions in which the Trust may conduct business, so long as such qualifications and continuations are in accordance with the terms of this Trust Agreement or any amendment hereto, or which may be required to be filed by the Trust or the Shareholders under the laws of any jurisdiction;

(b) Any instrument that may be required to be filed by the Trust under the laws of any state or by any governmental agency, or that the Manager deems advisable to file; and

(c) This Trust Agreement and any documents that may be required to effect an amendment to this Trust Agreement approved under the terms of the Trust Agreement, and the continuation of the Trust, the admission of the signer of the Power of Attorney as a Shareholder or of others as additional Shareholders, or the termination of the Trust, provided such continuation, admission or termination is in accordance with the terms of this Trust Agreement.

SECTION 15.2.Effect of Power of Attorney

The Power of Attorney concurrently granted by each Shareholder to the Manager:

(a) Is a special, irrevocable Power of Attorney coupled with an interest, and shall survive and not be affected by the Shareholder’s death, disability, dissolution, liquidation, termination or incapacity; and

(b) May be exercised by the Manager for each Shareholder by a facsimile signature of one of its officers or by a single signature of one of its officers acting as attorney-in-fact for all of them.

Each Shareholder agrees to be bound by any representations made by the Manager and by any successor thereto, determined to be acting in good faith pursuant to such Power of Attorney and not constituting negligence or willful misconduct. This power of attorney will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Delaware. Any action taken by the Manager in reliance on this power of attorney shall be deemed to be performed at the Shareholder’s specific direction. For the avoidance of doubt, this power of attorney is not intended to, and does not, revoke any prior powers of attorney. Further, this power of attorney shall not be revoked by any additional or subsequent powers of attorney.

SECTION 15.3.Limitation on Power of Attorney

The Power of Attorney concurrently granted by each Shareholder to the Manager shall not authorize the Manager to act on the Shareholder’s behalf in any situation in which this Trust Agreement requires the approval of Shareholders unless such approval has been obtained as required by this Trust Agreement. In the event of any conflict between this Trust Agreement and any instruments filed by the Manager or any new Manager pursuant to this Power of Attorney, this Trust Agreement shall control.

ARTICLE XVI

MISCELLANEOUS

SECTION 16.1.Governing Law

The validity and construction of this Trust Agreement and all amendments hereto shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, and the rights of all parties hereto and the effect of every provision hereof shall be subject to and construed according to the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to the conflict of laws provisions thereof; provided that, the parties hereto intend that the provisions hereof shall control over any contrary or limiting statutory or common law of the State of Delaware (other than the Delaware Trust Statute) and that, to the

maximum extent permitted by applicable law, and as expressly authorized by Section 3809 of the Delaware Trust Statute, there shall not be applicable to the Trust, the Independent Committee Members, the Resident Delaware Trustee, the Manager, the Shareholders or this Trust Agreement any provision of the laws (statutory or common) of the State of Delaware (other than the Delaware Trust Statute) pertaining to trusts that relate to or regulate in a manner inconsistent with the terms hereof: (a) the filing with any court or governmental body or agency of trustee accounts or schedules of trustee fees and charges, (b) affirmative requirements to post bonds for trustees, officers, agents or employees of a trust, (c) the necessity for obtaining court or other governmental approval concerning the acquisition, holding or disposition of real or personal property, (d) fees or other sums payable to trustees, officers, agents or employees of a trust, (e) the allocation of receipts and expenditures to income or principal, (f) restrictions or limitations on the permissible nature, amount or concentration of trust investments or requirements relating to the titling, storage or other manner of holding of trust assets or (g) the establishment of fiduciary or other standards or responsibilities or limitations on the acts or powers of trustees or managers that are inconsistent with the limitations on liability or authorities and powers of the Independent Committee Members, the Resident Delaware Trustee or the Manager set forth or referenced in this Trust Agreement.

The Trust shall be of the type commonly called a “statutory trust,” and without limiting the provisions hereof, the Trust may exercise all powers that are ordinarily exercised by such a trust under Delaware law. The Trust specifically reserves the right to exercise any of the powers or privileges afforded to statutory trusts and the absence of a specific reference herein to any such power, privilege or action shall not imply that the Trust may not exercise such power or privilege or take such actions.

SECTION 16.2.Provisions In Conflict With Law or Regulations

(a) The provisions of this Trust Agreement are severable, and if the Manager shall determine, with the advice of counsel, that any one or more of such provisions (the “Conflicting Provisions”) are in conflict with the Code, the Delaware Trust Statute or other applicable U.S. federal or state laws, the Conflicting Provisions shall be deemed never to have constituted a part of this Trust Agreement, even without any amendment of this Trust Agreement pursuant to this Trust Agreement; provided, however, that such determination by the Manager shall not affect or impair any of the remaining provisions of this Trust Agreement or render invalid or improper any action taken or omitted prior to such determination. No Manager or Resident Delaware Trustee shall be liable for making or failing to make such a determination.

(b) If any provision of this Trust Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such holding shall not in any manner affect or render invalid or unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction or any other provision of this Trust Agreement in any jurisdiction.
