(9)       Cash Management Agreement with Affiliate

On October 6, 2010, the Managing Owner retained RJOIM, an SEC registered investment adviser and an affiliate of the Managing Owner, as cash manager.  The assets managed by RJOIM are held in segregated accounts in custody at Wells.  RJOIM is paid an annual fee, currently 0.20% calculated and accrued daily at a rate equal to 1/360 of the principal balance.  As of August 1, 2014, RJOIM agreed to waive all advisory fees previously charged to the Trust, back to January 1, 2014, in response to a request by the Managing Owner for said rebate.  This request was made due to the decrease in the size of the Trust’s deposit with RJOIM and the current interest rate environment.  As of June 30, 2016, the Trust’s deposits held by RJOIM consisted of cash of $1,745,000.  Since August 1, 2014, RJOIM continues to waive its advisory fee.
