Effective as of the date hereof, the Trustee and the Managing Owner shall have all of the rights, powers and duties set forth herein and in the Delaware Trust Statute with respect to accomplishing the purposes of the Master Trust. The Trustee has filed the certificate of trust required by Section 3810 of the Delaware Trust Statute in connection with the formation of the Master Trust under the Delaware Trust Statute.

SECTION 1.5 Purposes and Powers. The purpose of the Master Trust and each Master Fund shall be: (a) directly or indirectly to trade, buy, sell, spread or otherwise acquire, hold or dispose of the applicable Commodities or Index Commodities, including but not limited to, exchange-traded futures on the applicable Commodities or Index Commodities with a view to tracking the performance of the applicable Indexes over time; (b) to enter into forward contracts referencing the applicable Indexes or one or more of the applicable Commodities or Index Commodities with a view to tracking the performance of the applicable Indexes over time; (c) to enter into any lawful transaction and engage in any lawful activities in furtherance of or incidental to the foregoing purposes; and (d) as determined from time to time by the Managing Owner, to engage in any other lawful business or activity for which a statutory trust may be organized under the Delaware Trust Statute. The Master Trust shall have all of the powers specified in Section 15.1 hereof, including, without limitation, all of the powers which may be exercised by a Managing Owner on behalf of the Master Trust under this Trust Agreement.

(a) Each of the parties hereto, by entering into this Trust Agreement, (i) expresses its intention that the Shares of each Master Fund will qualify under applicable tax law as interests in a partnership which holds the Trust Estate of each Master Fund for their

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 each Master Fund as a partnership in which each of the Shareholders thereof is a partner, and (iii) agrees to use reasonable efforts to notify the Managing Owner promptly upon a receipt of any notice from any taxing authority having jurisdiction over such holders of Shares with respect to the treatment of the Shares of each Master Fund 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 each Master Fund initially shall be the Managing Owner. The Tax Matters Partner, at the expense of each Master Fund, shall prepare or cause to be prepared and filed each Master Fund’s tax returns as a partnership for U.S. federal, state and local tax purposes and (ii) shall be authorized to perform all duties imposed by § 6221 et seq. of the Code, including, without limitation, (A) the power to conduct all audits and other administrative proceedings with respect to each Master Fund’s tax items; (B) the power to extend the statute of limitations for all Shareholders with respect to each Master Fund’s tax items; (C) the power to file a petition with an appropriate U.S. federal court for review of a final administrative adjustment of any Master Fund; and (D) the power to enter into a settlement with the IRS on behalf of, and binding upon, those Limited Owners having less than 1% interest in any Master Fund, unless a Limited Owner shall have notified the IRS and the Managing Owner that the Managing Owner shall not act on such Limited Owner’s behalf. The designation made by each Shareholder of a Master Fund in this Section 1.6(b) is hereby approved by each Shareholder of such Master Fund 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. Subject to Section 4.7, each Master Fund hereby indemnifies, to the full extent permitted by law, the Managing Owner from and against any damages or losses (including attorneys’ fees) arising out of or incurred in connection with any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in carrying out its responsibilities as Tax Matters Partner, provided such action taken or omitted to be taken does not constitute fraud, negligence or misconduct.

(c) Each Shareholder shall furnish the Managing Owner and the Trustee with information necessary to enable the Managing Owner to comply with U.S. federal income tax information reporting requirements in respect of such Shareholder’s Master Fund Shares.

(a) The Managing Owner shall be liable for the acts, omissions, obligations and expenses of each Master Fund, to the extent not paid out of the assets of each Master Fund, to the same extent the Managing Owner would be so liable as if each Master Fund were a partnership under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act and the Managing Owner were a general partner of such partnership. The foregoing provision shall not, however, limit the ability of the Managing Owner to limit its liability by contract. The obligations of the Managing Owner under this Section 1.7 shall be evidenced by its ownership of the General Shares which, solely for purposes of the Delaware Trust Statute, will be deemed to be a separate class of Shares of each Master Fund. Without limiting or affecting the liability of the Managing Owner as set forth in this Section 1.7, notwithstanding anything in this Trust Agreement to the contrary, Persons having any claim against the Master Trust or any Master Fund by reason of the transactions contemplated by this Trust Agreement and any other agreement, instrument, obligation or other undertaking to which the Master Trust or any Master Fund is a party, shall look only to the appropriate Master Fund Estate for payment or satisfaction thereof.

SECTION 1.8 Legal Title. Legal title to all of the Trust Estate of each Master Fund shall be vested in the Master 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 Managing Owner may cause legal title to the Trust Estate or any portion thereof to be held by or in the name of the Managing Owner or any other Person (other than a Shareholder) as nominee.

SECTION 1.9 Series Trust. The Shares of the Master Trust shall be divided into series, each a Master Fund, as provided in Section 3806(b)(2) of the Delaware Trust Statute. Accordingly, it is the intent of the parties hereto that Articles IV, V, VII, VIII, IX and X of this Trust Agreement shall apply also with respect to each such Master Fund as if each such Master Fund were a separate statutory trust under the Delaware Trust Statute, and each reference to the term “Master Trust” in such Articles shall be deemed to be a reference to each Master Fund separately to the extent necessary to give effect to the foregoing intent, as the context may require. The use of the terms “Master Trust”, “Master Fund” or “series” in this Agreement shall in no event alter the intent of the parties hereto that the Master Trust receive the full benefit of the limitation on interseries liability as set forth in Section 3804 of the Delaware Trust Statute.

SECTION 1.10 Commencement of Business. The commencement of the Master Trust’s business shall commence at such time as the Managing Owner shall determine.

The Trustee shall serve until such time as the Managing Owner removes the Trustee or the Trustee resigns and a successor Trustee is appointed by the Managing Owner in accordance with the terms of Section 2.5 hereof.

(b) The Trustee may resign at any time upon the giving of at least 60 days’ advance written notice to the Master Trust; provided, that such resignation shall not become effective unless and until a successor Trustee shall have been appointed by the Managing Owner in accordance with Section 2.5 hereof.

The indemnities contained in this Section 2.4 shall survive the termination of this Trust Agreement or the removal or resignation of the Trustee. The Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to indemnification from any Master Fund Estate.

SECTION 2.5 Successor Trustee. Upon the resignation or removal of the Trustee, the Managing Owner shall appoint a successor Trustee by delivering a written instrument to the outgoing Trustee.

nominees shall have been selected by the Trustee with reasonable care and (ii) may consult with counsel, accountants and other skilled professionals to be selected with reasonable care by it. The 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 such Persons.

SECTION 2.8 Payments to the Trustee. Any amounts paid to the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be deemed not to be a part of any Trust Estate immediately after such payment. Any amounts owing to the Trustee under this Trust Agreement shall constitute a claim against the applicable Trust Estate.

SECTION 3.1 General. (a) The Managing Owner shall have the power and authority, without Limited Owner approval, to issue Shares in one or more series, or Master Funds, from time to time as it deems necessary or desirable. Each Master Fund shall be separate from all other Master Funds created as series of the Master Trust in respect of the assets and liabilities allocated to that Master Fund and shall represent a separate investment portfolio of the Master Trust. The Managing Owner shall have exclusive power without the requirement of Limited Owner approval to establish and designate such separate and distinct series, as set forth in Section 3.2, and to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences as between the Shares of the separate Master Funds as to right of redemption, special and relative rights as to dividends and other distributions and on liquidation, conversion rights, and conditions under which the Master Funds shall have separate voting rights or no voting rights.

(b) The Managing Owner may, without Limited Owner approval, divide or subdivide Shares of any Master Fund into two or more classes or sub-classes, Shares of each such class or sub-class having such preferences and special or relative rights and privileges as the Managing Owner may determine as provided in Section 3.3. The fact that a Master Fund shall have been initially established and designated without any specific establishment or designation of classes or sub-classes, shall not limit the authority of the Managing Owner to divide a Master Fund and establish and designate separate classes or sub-classes thereof.

(c) The number of Master Fund Shares authorized shall be unlimited, and the Shares so authorized may be represented in part by fractional Shares, calculated to four decimal places. From time to time, the Managing Owner may divide or combine the Shares of any Master Fund or class thereof into a greater or lesser number without thereby changing the proportionate beneficial interests in the Master Fund or class thereof. The Managing Owner may issue Shares of any Master Fund or class thereof 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 Limited Owners thereof. All Shares when so issued on the terms determined by the Managing Owner shall be fully paid and non-assessable. The Managing Owner may classify or reclassify any unissued Shares or any Shares previously issued and reacquired of any Master Fund or class thereof into one or more series or classes thereof that may be established and designated from time to time. The Managing Owner may hold as treasury Shares, reissue for such consideration and on such terms as it may determine, or cancel,

at its discretion from time to time, any Shares of any series or class thereof reacquired by the Master Trust. Unless otherwise determined by the Managing Owner, treasury Shares shall not be deemed cancelled. The Shares of each Master Fund shall initially be divided into two classes: General Shares and Limited Shares.

(d) The Managing Owner and/or its Affiliates will make and maintain a permanent investment in each Master Fund of $25,000.

(e) No certificates or other evidence of beneficial ownership of the Shares will be issued.

(f) Every Shareholder, by virtue of having purchased or otherwise acquired a Share, shall be deemed to have expressly consented and agreed to be bound by the terms of this Trust Agreement.

SECTION 3.2 Establishment of Series, or Master Funds, of the Trust. (a) Without limiting the authority of the Managing Owner set forth in Section 3.2(b) to establish and designate any further series, the Managing Owner hereby establishes and designates seven initial series, or Master Funds, as follows:

The provisions of this Article III shall be applicable to the above-designated Master Funds and any further Master Fund that may from time to time be established and designated by the Managing Owner as provided in Section 3.2(b); provided, however, that such provisions may be amended, varied or abrogated by the Managing Owner with respect to any Master Fund created after the initial formation of the Master Trust in the written instrument creating such Master Fund.

(a) The establishment and designation of any series of Shares other than those set forth above shall be effective upon the execution by the Managing Owner of an instrument setting forth such establishment and designation and the relative rights and preferences of such series, or as otherwise provided in such instrument. At any time that there are no Shares outstanding of any particular series previously established and designated, the Managing Owner may by an instrument executed by it abolish that series and the establishment and designation thereof. Each instrument referred to in this paragraph shall have the status of an amendment to this Trust Agreement.

SECTION 3.3 Establishment of Classes and Sub-Classes. The division of any series into two or more classes or sub-classes and the establishment and designation of such classes or sub-classes shall be effective upon the execution by the Managing Owner of an instrument setting forth such division, and the establishment, designation, and relative rights and preferences

of such classes, or as otherwise provided in such instrument. The relative rights and preferences of the classes or sub-classes of any series may differ in such respects as the Managing Owner may determine to be appropriate, provided that such differences are set forth in the aforementioned instrument. At any time that there are no Shares outstanding of any particular class or sub-class previously established and designated, the Managing Owner may by an instrument executed by it abolish that class or sub-class and the establishment and designation thereof. Each instrument referred to in this paragraph shall have the status of an amendment to this Trust Agreement.

SECTION 3.4 Offer of Limited Shares; Procedures for Creation and Issuance of Creation Baskets. (a) General. The following procedures, as supplemented by the more detailed procedures agreed from time to time between the Managing Owner and the Limited Owner of each Master Fund, will govern the Master Trust with respect to 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 any Master Fund is unlimited.

(i) On any Business Day, a Limited Owner may submit to the Managing Owner a purchase order and subscription agreement to subscribe for and agree to purchase one or more Creation Baskets for the applicable Master Fund (such request by a Limited Owner, a “Purchase Order Subscription Agreement”). Purchase Order Subscription Agreements must be received by the Managing Owner from the Limited Owner of a Master Fund no later than the Order Cut-Off Time on a Business Day (the “Purchase Order Subscription Date”). The Managing Owner will process Purchase Order Subscription Agreements only from the Limited Owner of a Master Fund.

(ii) Any Purchase Order Subscription Agreement is subject to rejection by the Managing Owner pursuant to Section 3.4(c).

(iii) After accepting a Purchase Order Subscription Agreement from the Limited Owner of a Master Fund, the Managing Owner will issue and deliver Creation Baskets for the applicable Master Fund to fill such Limited Owner’s Purchase Order Subscription Agreement as of noon New York time on the Business Day immediately following the Purchase Order Subscription Date, but only if by such time the Managing Owner has received (A) for its own account, the applicable Transaction Fee, and (B) for the account of the applicable Master Fund the Creation Basket Capital Contribution for the Master Fund due from the Limited Owner in respect of such Purchase Order Subscription Agreement for the Master Fund.

(b) Issuance of Creation Basket. Upon issuing a Creation Basket for any Master Fund pursuant to a Purchase Order Subscription Agreement, the Managing Owner will issue the Creation Basket to the Limited Owner of such Master Fund.

(c) Rejection. For each Master Fund, the Managing Owner shall have the absolute right, but shall have no obligation, to reject any Purchase Order Subscription Agreement or Creation Basket Capital Contribution (i) determined by the Managing Owner not to be in proper form; (ii) that the Managing Owner has determined would have adverse tax consequences

to the Master Trust, any Master Fund or to a Limited Owner; (iii) the acceptance or receipt of which would, in the opinion of counsel to the Managing Owner, be unlawful; or (iv) if circumstances outside the control of the Managing Owner make it for all practical purposes not feasible to process creations of Creation Baskets. The Managing Owner shall not be liable to any person by reason of the rejection of any Purchase Order Subscription Agreement or Creation Basket Capital Contribution.

SECTION 3.5 Assets of Master Funds. All consideration received by the Master Trust for the issue or sale of Creation Baskets of a particular Master Fund together with all of the applicable Trust Estate in which such consideration is invested or reinvested, all income, earnings, profits, and proceeds thereof, including any proceeds derived from the sale, exchange or liquidation of such assets, and any funds or payments derived from any reinvestment of such proceeds in whatever form the same may be, shall irrevocably belong to that Master Fund for all purposes, subject only to the rights of creditors of such Master Fund and except as may otherwise be required by applicable tax laws, and shall be so recorded upon the books of account of the Master Trust. Separate and distinct records shall be maintained for each Master Fund and the assets associated with a Master Fund shall be held and accounted for separately from the other assets of the Master Trust, or any other Master Fund. In the event that there is any Trust Estate, or any income, earnings, profits, and proceeds thereof, funds, or payments which are not readily identifiable as belonging to any particular Master Fund, the Managing Owner shall allocate them among any one or more of the Master Funds established and designated from time to time in such manner and on such basis as the Managing Owner, in its sole discretion, deems fair and equitable. Each such allocation by the Managing Owner shall be conclusive and binding upon all Shareholders for all purposes.

SECTION 3.6 Distributions. Distributions on Shares may be paid with such frequency as the Managing Owner may determine, which may be daily or otherwise, to the Shareholders from such of the income and capital gains, accrued or realized, as the Managing Owner may determine, after providing for actual and accrued liabilities of each Master Fund. All distributions on Shares shall be distributed pro rata to the Shareholders in proportion to the total outstanding Shares held by such Shareholders at the date and time of record established for the payment of such distribution.

SECTION 3.7 Liabilities of Master Funds. (a) The Trust Estate belonging to each particular Master Fund shall be charged with the liabilities of the Master Trust in respect of that series and only that series; and all expenses, costs, charges and reserves attributable to that Master Fund, and any general liabilities, expenses, costs, charges or reserves of the Master Trust which are not readily identifiable as belonging to any particular Master Fund, shall be allocated and charged by the Managing Owner to and among any one or more of the series established and designated from time to time in such manner and on such basis as the Managing Owner in its sole discretion deems fair and equitable. Each allocation of liabilities, expenses, costs, charges and reserves by the Managing Owner shall be conclusive and binding upon all Shareholders for all purposes. The Managing Owner shall have full discretion, to the extent not inconsistent with applicable law, to determine which items shall be treated as income and which items as capital, and each such determination and allocation shall be conclusive and binding upon the Shareholders. Every written agreement, instrument or other undertaking made or issued by or on behalf of a particular series shall include a recitation limiting the obligation or claim represented thereby to that series and its assets.

(b) Without limitation of the foregoing provisions of this Section, but subject to the right of the Managing Owner in its discretion to allocate general liabilities, expenses, costs, charges or reserves as herein provided, the debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing with respect to a particular series shall be enforceable against the assets of such series only and against the Managing Owner, and not against the assets of the Master Trust generally or of any other series. Notice of this limitation on interseries liabilities shall be set forth in the Certificate of Trust of the Master Trust (whether originally or by amendment) as filed or to be filed in the Office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware pursuant to the Delaware Trust Statute, and upon the giving of such notice in the Certificate of Trust, the statutory provisions of Section 3804 of the Delaware Trust Statute relating to limitations on interseries liabilities (and the statutory effect under Section 3804 of setting forth such notice in the Certificate of Trust) shall become applicable to the Master Trust and each Master Fund. Every Share, note, bond, contract, instrument, certificate or other undertaking made or issued by or on behalf of a particular series shall include a recitation limiting the obligation on Shares represented thereby to that series and its assets.

(i) Except as set forth below, any debts, liabilities, obligations, indebtedness, expenses, interests and claims of any nature and all kinds and descriptions, if any, of the Managing Owner and the Trustee (the “Subordinated Claims”) incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing, arising from, related to or in connection with all series, any combination of series or one particular series and their respective assets (the “Applicable Series”) and the assets of the Master Trust shall be expressly subordinate and junior in right of payment to any and all other Claims against the Master Trust and any series thereof, and any of their respective assets, which may arise as a matter of law or pursuant to any contract, provided, however, that the Claims of each of the Managing Owner and the Trustee (if any) against the Applicable Series shall not be considered Subordinated Claims with respect to enforcement against and distribution and repayment from the Applicable Series, the Applicable Series’ assets and the Managing Owner and its assets; and provided further that the valid Claims of either the Managing Owner or the Trustee, if any, against the Applicable Series shall be pari passu and equal in right of repayment and distribution with all other valid Claims against the Applicable Series;

(ii) the Managing Owner and the Trustee will not take, demand or receive from any Master Fund or the Master Trust or any of their respective assets (other than the Applicable Series, the Applicable Series’ assets and the Managing Owner and its assets) any payment for the Subordinated Claims;

(iii) The Claims of each of the Managing Owner and the Trustee with respect to the Applicable Series shall only be asserted and enforceable against the Applicable Series, the Applicable Series’ assets and the Managing Owner and its assets; and such Claims shall not be asserted or enforceable for any reason whatsoever against any other series, the Master Trust generally, or any of their respective assets;

(iv) If the Claims of the Managing Owner or the Trustee against the Applicable Series or the Master Trust are secured in whole or in part, each of the Managing Owner and the Trustee hereby waives (under section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. § 1111(b)) any right to have any deficiency Claims (which deficiency Claims may arise in the event such security is inadequate to satisfy such Claims) treated as unsecured Claims against the Master Trust or any series (other than the Applicable Series), as the case may be;

(v) In furtherance of the foregoing, if and to the extent that the Managing Owner and the Trustee receive monies in connection with the Subordinated Claims from a Master Fund or the Master Trust (or their respective assets), other than the Applicable Series, the Applicable Series’ assets and the Managing Owner and its assets, the Managing Owner and the Trustee shall be deemed to hold such monies in trust and shall promptly remit such monies to the Master Fund or the Master Trust that paid such amounts for distribution by the Master Fund or the Master Trust in accordance with the terms hereof; and

(vi) The foregoing Consent shall apply at all times notwithstanding that the Claims are satisfied, and notwithstanding that the agreements in respect of such Claims are terminated, rescinded or canceled.

(c) Any agreement entered into by the Master Trust, any Master Fund, or the Managing Owner, on behalf of the Master Trust generally or any Master Fund, including, without limitation, the Purchase Order Subscription Agreement entered into with each Limited Owner, will include language substantially similar to the language set forth in Section 3.7(b).

SECTION 3.8 Dividends and Distributions. (a) Dividends and distributions on Shares of a particular series or any class thereof may be paid with such frequency as the Managing Owner may determine, which may be daily or otherwise, to the Shareholders in that series or class, from such of the income and capital gains, accrued or realized, from the Trust Estate belonging to that series, or in the case of a class, belonging to that series and allocable to that class, as the Managing Owner may determine, after providing for actual and accrued liabilities belonging to that series. All dividends and distributions on Shares in a particular series or class thereof shall be distributed pro rata to the Shareholders in that series or class in proportion to the total outstanding Shares in that series or class held by such Shareholders at the date and time of record established for the payment of such dividends or distribution, except to the extent otherwise required or permitted by the preferences and special or relative rights and privileges of any series or class. Such dividends and distributions may be made in cash or Shares of that series or class or a combination thereof as determined by the Managing Owner or pursuant to any program that the Managing Owner may have in effect at the time for the election by each Shareholder of the mode of the making of such dividend or distribution to that Shareholder.

(b) The Shares in a series or a class of the Master Trust shall represent units of beneficial interest in the Trust Estate belonging to such series or in the case of a class, belonging to such series and allocable to such class. Each Shareholder in a series or a class shall be entitled to receive its pro rata share of distributions of income and capital gains made with respect to

such series or such class. Upon reduction or withdrawal of its Shares or indemnification for liabilities incurred by reason of being or having been a holder of Shares in a series or a class, such Shareholder shall be paid solely out of the funds and property of such series or in the case of a class, the funds and property of such series and allocable to such class of the Master Trust. Upon liquidation or termination of a series of the Master Trust, Shareholders in such series or class shall be entitled to receive a pro rata share of the Trust Estate belonging to such series or in the case of a class, belonging to such series and allocable to such class.

SECTION 3.9 Voting Rights. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, on each matter submitted to a vote of the Shareholders of a Master Fund, each Shareholder shall be entitled to a proportionate vote based upon the product of the Net Asset Value Per Share of a Master Fund multiplied by the number of Shares, or fraction thereof, standing in its name on the books of the Master Trust or such Master Fund. As to any matter which affects the Shares of more than one Master Fund, the Shareholders of each affected Master Fund shall be entitled to vote, and each such Master Fund shall vote as a separate class.

SECTION 3.10 Equality. Except as provided herein or in the instrument designating and establishing any class or series, all Shares of each particular series shall represent an equal proportionate beneficial interest in the assets belonging to that series subject to the liabilities belonging to that series, and each Share of any particular series or class shall be equal to each other Share of that series or class; but the provisions of this sentence shall not restrict any distinctions permissible under Section 3.8 that may exist with respect to dividends and distributions on Shares of the same series or class. The Managing Owner may from time to time divide or combine the Shares of any particular series or class into a greater or lesser number of Shares of that series or class without thereby changing the proportionate beneficial interest in the assets belonging to that series or in any way affecting the rights of Shareholders of any other series or class.

SECTION 4.1 Management of the Master Trust. Pursuant to Section 3806(b)(7) of the Delaware Trust Statute, the Master Trust shall be managed by the Managing Owner and the conduct of the Master Trust’s business shall be controlled and conducted solely by the Managing Owner in accordance with this Trust Agreement.

SECTION 4.2 Authority of Managing Owner. In addition to and not in limitation of any rights and powers conferred by law or other provisions of this Trust Agreement, and except as limited, restricted or prohibited by the express provisions of this Trust Agreement or the Delaware Trust Statute, the Managing Owner shall have and may exercise on behalf of the Master Trust, all powers and rights necessary, proper, convenient or advisable to effectuate and carry out the purposes, business and objectives of the Master Trust, which shall include, without limitation, the following:

(a) To enter into, execute, deliver and maintain, and to cause the Master Trust to perform its obligations under, contracts, agreements and any or all other documents and

instruments, and to do and perform all such things as may be in furtherance of Master Trust purposes or necessary or appropriate for the offer and sale of the Shares and the conduct of Master Trust activities, including, but not limited to, contracts with third parties for commodity brokerage services and/or administrative services, provided, however, that such services may be performed by an Affiliate or Affiliates of the Managing Owner so long as the Managing Owner has made a good faith determination that: (A) the Affiliate which it proposes to engage to perform such services is qualified to do so (considering the prior experience of the Affiliate or the individuals employed thereby); (B) the terms and conditions of the agreement pursuant to which such Affiliate is to perform services for the Master Trust are no less favorable to the Master Trust than could be obtained from equally-qualified unaffiliated third parties; and (C) the maximum period covered by the agreement pursuant to which such affiliate is to perform services for the Master Trust shall not exceed one year, and such agreement shall be terminable without penalty upon sixty (60) days’ prior written notice by the Master Trust.

(b) To establish, maintain, deposit into, sign checks and/or otherwise draw upon accounts on behalf of the Master Trust with appropriate banking and savings institutions, and execute and/or accept any instrument or agreement incidental to the Master Trust’s business and in furtherance of its purposes, any such instrument or agreement so executed or accepted by the Managing Owner in the Managing Owner’s name shall be deemed executed and accepted on behalf of the Master Trust by the Managing Owner;

(c) To deposit, withdraw, pay, retain and distribute the Trust Estate or any portion thereof in any manner consistent with the provisions of this Trust Agreement;

(d) To supervise the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement and supplements and amendments thereto, and the Prospectus;

(e) To pay or authorize the payment of distributions to the Shareholders and expenses of each Master Fund;

(f) To make any elections on behalf of the Master Trust under the Code, or any other applicable U.S. federal or state tax law as the Managing Owner shall determine to be in the best interests of the Master Trust; and

(g) In the sole discretion of the Managing Owner, to admit an Affiliate or Affiliates of the Managing Owner as additional Managing Owners. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Managing Owner may not admit Affiliate(s) of the Managing Owner as an additional Managing Owner if it has received notice of its removal as a Managing Owner, pursuant to Section 8.2(d) hereof, or if the concurrence of at least a majority in interest (over 50%) of the outstanding Shares of all Master Funds (not including Shares owned by the Managing Owner) is not obtained.

SECTION 4.3 Obligations of the Managing Owner. In addition to the obligations expressly provided by the Delaware Trust Statute or this Trust Agreement, the Managing Owner shall:

(a) Devote such of its time to the business and affairs of the Master Trust as it shall, in its discretion exercised in good faith, determine to be necessary to conduct the business and affairs of the Master Trust for the benefit of the Master Trust and the Limited Owners;

(b) Execute, file, record and/or publish all certificates, statements and other documents and do any and all other things as may be appropriate for the formation, qualification and operation of the Master Trust and for the conduct of its business in all appropriate jurisdictions;

(e) Select the Master Trust’s or any Master Fund’s Trustee, Administrator, and Clearing Brokers;

(f) Use its best efforts to maintain the status of the Master Trust as a “statutory trust” for state law purposes, and as a “partnership” for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

(g) Monitor the brokerage fees charged to the Master Trust, and the services rendered by futures commission merchants to the Master Trust, to determine whether the fees paid by, and the services rendered to, the Master Trust for futures brokerage are at competitive rates and are the best price and services available under the circumstances, and if necessary, renegotiate the brokerage fee structure to obtain such rates and services for the Master Trust. No material change related to brokerage fees shall be made except upon 60 Business Days’ prior notice to the Limited Owners, which notice shall include a description of the Limited Owners’ voting rights as set forth in Section 8.2 hereof and a description of the Limited Owners’ redemption rights as set forth in Section 7.1 hereof;

(h) Have fiduciary responsibility for the safekeeping and use of each Trust Estate, whether or not in the Managing Owner’s immediate possession or control, and the Managing Owner will not employ or permit others to employ such funds or assets (including any interest earned thereon as provided for in the Prospectus) in any manner except for the benefit of the Master Trust, including, among other things, the utilization of any portion of the Trust Estate as compensating balances for the exclusive benefit of the Managing Owner. The Managing Owner shall at all times act with integrity and good faith and exercise due diligence in all activities relating to the conduct of the business of the Master Trust and in resolving conflicts of interest;

(i) Refuse to recognize any attempted transfer or assignment of a Share that is not made in accordance with the provisions of Article V;

reasonable times during ordinary business hours for inspection by any Limited Owner or his representative for any purpose reasonably related to the Limited Owner’s interest as a beneficial owner of the Master Trust. Upon request, for any purpose reasonably related to the Limited Owner’s interest as a beneficial owner of the Master Trust, including without limitation, matters relating to a Shareholder’s voting rights hereunder or the exercise of a Limited Owner’s rights under federal proxy law, either in person or by mail, the Managing Owner will furnish a copy of such list to a Limited Owner or his representative within ten days of a request therefor, upon payment of the cost of reproduction and mailing; provided, however, that the Limited Owner requesting such list shall give written assurance that the list will not, in any event, be used for commercial purposes. Subject to applicable law, a Limited Owner shall give the Managing Owner at least ten Business Days’ prior written notice for any inspection and copying permitted pursuant to this Section 4.3(j) by the Limited Owner or his authorized attorney or agent; and

(k) Perform such other services as the Managing Owner believes that the Master Trust may from time to time require.

(a) Borrow money from or loan money to any Shareholder (including the Managing Owner) or other Person, except that the foregoing is not intended to prohibit (i) the deposit on margin with respect to the initiation and maintenance of Commodities positions or (ii) obtaining lines of credit for the trading of forward contracts; provided, however, that the Master Trust is prohibited from incurring any indebtedness on a non-recourse basis;

(b) Create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any lien, mortgage, pledge conditional sales or other title retention agreement, charge, security interest or encumbrance, except (i) the right and/or obligation of a commodity broker to close out sufficient Commodities positions of the Master Trust so as to restore the Master Trust’s account to proper margin status in the event that the Master Trust fails to meet a Margin Call, (ii) liens for taxes not delinquent or being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings and for which appropriate reserves have been established, (iii) deposits or pledges to secure obligations under workmen’s compensation, social security or similar laws or under unemployment insurance, (iv) deposits or pledges to secure contracts (other than contracts for the payment of money), leases, statutory obligations, surety and appeal bonds and other obligations of like nature arising in the ordinary course of business, or (v) mechanic’s, warehousemen’s, carrier’s, workmen’s, materialmen’s or other like liens arising in the ordinary course of business with respect to obligations which are not due or which are being contested in good faith, and for which appropriate reserves have been established if required by generally accepted accounting principles, and liens arising under ERISA;

(c) Commingle its assets with those of any other Person, except to the extent permitted under the CE Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder;

(d) Engage in Pyramiding of its Commodities positions; provided, however, that the Managing Owner may take into account open trade equity positions in determining generally whether to require additional Commodities positions;

(e) Permit rebates to be received by the Managing Owner or any Affiliate of the Managing Owner, or permit the Managing Owner or any Affiliate of the Managing Owner to engage in any reciprocal business arrangements which would circumvent the foregoing prohibition;

(f) Permit the Managing Owner to share in any portion of brokerage fees related to commodity brokerage services paid with respect to commodity trading activities;

(g) Enter into any contract with the Managing Owner or an Affiliate of the Managing Owner (except for selling agreements for the sale of Shares) which has a term of more than one year and which does not provide that it may be canceled by the Master Trust without penalty on sixty (60) days prior written notice or for the provision of goods and services, except at rates and terms at least as favorable as those which may be obtained from third parties in arms-length negotiations;

(h) Permit churning of its Commodity trading account(s) for the purpose of generating excess brokerage commissions;

(j) Operate the Master Trust in any manner so as to contravene the requirements to preserve the limitation on interseries liability set forth in Section 3804 of the Delaware Trust Statute; or

(k) Cause the Master Trust to elect to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

SECTION 4.5 Liability of Covered Persons. A Covered Person shall have no liability to the Master Trust or to any Shareholder or other Covered Person for any loss suffered by the Master Fund which arises out of any action or inaction of such Covered Person if such Covered Person, in good faith, determined that such course of conduct was in the best interest of the Master Trust and such course of conduct did not constitute negligence or misconduct of such Covered Person. Subject to the foregoing, neither the Managing Owner nor any other Covered Person shall be personally liable for the return or repayment of all or any portion of the capital or profits of any Limited Owner or assignee thereof, it being expressly agreed that any such return of capital or profits made pursuant to this Trust Agreement shall be made solely from the assets of the Master Trust without any rights of contribution from the Managing Owner or any other Covered Person.

(a) To the extent that, at law or in equity, the Managing Owner has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Master Trust, the Shareholders or to any other Person, the Managing Owner acting under this Trust Agreement shall not be liable to the Master Trust, the Shareholders or to any other Person for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Trust Agreement subject to the standard of care in Section 4.5 herein. The provisions of this Trust Agreement, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of the Managing Owner otherwise existing at law or in equity are agreed by the parties hereto to

replace such other duties and liabilities of the Managing Owner. Any material changes in the Master Trust’s basic investment policies or structure shall occur only upon the written approval or affirmative vote of Limited Owners’ holding Shares equal to at least a majority (over 50%) of the Net Asset Value of a Master Fund (excluding Shares held by the Managing Owner and its Affiliates) affected by the change pursuant to Section 11.1(a) below.

(i) whenever a conflict of interest exists or arises between the Managing Owner or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Master Trust or any Shareholder or any other Person, on the other hand; or

(ii) whenever this Trust Agreement or any other agreement contemplated herein or therein provides that the Managing Owner shall act in a manner that is, or provides terms that are, fair and reasonable to the Master Trust, any Shareholder or any other Person,

the Managing Owner shall resolve such conflict of interest, take such action or provide such terms, considering in each case the relative interest of each party (including its own interest) to such conflict, agreement, transaction or situation and the benefits and burdens relating to such interests, any customary or accepted industry practices, and any applicable generally accepted accounting practices or principles. In the absence of bad faith by the Managing Owner, the resolution, action or terms so made, taken or provided by the Managing Owner shall not constitute a breach of this Trust Agreement or any other agreement contemplated herein or of any duty or obligation of the Managing Owner at law or in equity or otherwise.

(c) The Managing Owner and any Affiliate of the Managing Owner may engage in or possess an interest in other profit-seeking or business ventures of any nature or description, independently or with others, whether or not such ventures are competitive with the Master Trust and the doctrine of corporate opportunity, or any analogous doctrine, shall not apply to the Managing Owner. If the Managing Owner acquires knowledge of a potential transaction, agreement, arrangement or other matter that may be an opportunity for the Master Trust, it shall have no duty to communicate or offer such opportunity to the Master Trust, and the Managing Owner shall not be liable to the Master Trust or to the Shareholders for breach of any fiduciary or other duty by reason of the fact that the Managing Owner pursues or acquires for, or directs such opportunity to another Person or does not communicate such opportunity or information to the Master Trust. Neither the Master Trust nor any Shareholder shall have any rights or obligations by virtue of this Trust Agreement or the trust relationship created hereby in or to such independent ventures or the income or profits or losses derived therefrom, and the pursuit of such ventures, even if competitive with the activities of the Master Trust, shall not be deemed wrongful or improper. Except to the extent expressly provided herein, the Managing Owner may engage or be interested in any financial or other transaction with the Master Trust, the Shareholders or any Affiliate of the Master Trust or the Shareholders.

(a) The Managing Owner shall be indemnified by the Master Trust against any losses, judgments, liabilities, expenses and amounts paid in settlement of any claims sustained by it in connection with its activities for the Master Trust, provided that (i) the Managing Owner was acting on behalf of or performing services for the Master Trust and has determined, in good faith, that such course of conduct was in the best interests of the Master Trust and such liability or loss was not the result of negligence, misconduct, or a breach of this Trust Agreement on the part of the Managing Owner and (ii) any such indemnification will only be recoverable from the Master Trust Estate. All rights to indemnification permitted herein and payment of associated expenses shall not be affected by the dissolution or other cessation to exist of the Managing Owner, or the withdrawal, adjudication of bankruptcy or insolvency of the Managing Owner, or the filing of a voluntary or involuntary petition in bankruptcy under Title 11 of the U.S. Code by or against the Managing Owner. The source of payments made in respect of indemnification under this Trust Agreement shall be the assets of each Master Fund on a pro rata basis as the case may be.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.7(a) above, the Managing Owner and any Person acting as broker-dealer for the Master Trust shall not be indemnified for any losses, liabilities or expenses arising from or out of an alleged violation of U.S. federal or state securities laws unless (i) there has been a successful adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged securities law violations as to the particular indemnitee and the court approves the indemnification of such expenses (including, without limitation, litigation costs), (ii) such claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction as to the particular indemnitee and the court approves the indemnification of such expenses (including, without limitation, litigation costs) or (iii) a court of competent jurisdiction approves a settlement of the claims against a particular indemnitee and finds that indemnification of the settlement and related costs should be made.

(d) Expenses incurred in defending a threatened or pending civil, administrative or criminal action suit or proceeding against the Managing Owner shall be paid by the Master Trust in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding, if (i) the legal action relates to the performance of duties or services by the Managing Owner on behalf of the Master Trust; (ii) the legal action is initiated by a third party who is not a Limited Owner or the legal action is initiated by a Limited Owner and a court of competent jurisdiction specifically approves such advance; and (iii) the Managing Owner undertakes to repay the advanced funds with interest to the Master Trust in cases in which it is not entitled to indemnification under this Section 4.7.

(e) The term “Managing Owner” as used only in this Section 4.7 shall include, in addition to the Managing Owner, any other Covered Person performing services on behalf of the Master Trust and acting within the scope of the Managing Owner’s authority as set forth in this Trust Agreement.

(f) In the event the Master Trust is made a party to any claim, dispute, demand or litigation or otherwise incurs any loss, liability, damage, cost or expense as a result of or in connection with any Limited Owner’s (or assignee’s) obligations or liabilities unrelated to Master Trust business, such Limited Owner (or assignees cumulatively) shall indemnify, defend, hold harmless, and reimburse the Master Trust for all such loss, liability, damage, cost and expense incurred, including attorneys’ and accountants’ fees.

However, such Organization and Offering Expenses shall exclude any extraordinary expenses (including, but not limited to, legal claims and liabilities and litigation costs and any permitted indemnification associated therewith) related thereto.

Each Master Fund shall pay to the Managing Owner, out of such Master Fund’s Trust Estate, in arrears, a monthly management fee in an amount equal to: (a) with respect to PowerShares DB Oil Fund, PowerShares DB Gold Fund and PowerShares DB Silver Fund, 0.0416666% (0.50% per annum), and (b) with respect to PowerShares DB Energy Fund, PowerShares DB Precious Metals Fund, PowerShares DB Base Metals Fund and PowerShares DB Agriculture Fund, 0.0625% (0.75% per annum) (each, individually and collectively, the “Management Fee”) of each such Master Fund’s Net Asset Value as of the beginning of such month. The Managing Owner shall, in its capacity as a Shareholder, be entitled to receive allocations and distributions pursuant to the provisions of this Trust Agreement.

SECTION 4.10 Other Business of Shareholders. 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 which 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 business of the Master Trust, shall not be deemed wrongful or improper.

SECTION 4.11 Voluntary Withdrawal of the Managing Owner. The Managing Owner may withdraw voluntarily as the Managing Owner of the Master Trust only upon one hundred and twenty (120) days’ prior written notice to all Limited Owners and the Trustee. If the withdrawing Managing Owner is the last remaining Managing Owner, the Limited Owners holding Shares equal to at least a majority (over 50%) of the Master Fund aggregate Net Asset

Value (excluding Shares held by the Managing Owner) may vote to elect and appoint, effective as of a date on or prior to the withdrawal, a successor Managing Owner who shall carry on the business of the Master Trust. In the event of its removal or withdrawal, the Managing Owner shall be entitled to a redemption of its Share at the Net Asset Value thereof on the next Redemption Date following the date of removal or withdrawal. If the Managing Owner withdraws and a successor Managing Owner is named, the withdrawing Managing Owner shall pay all expenses as a result of its withdrawal.

SECTION 4.12 Authorization of Registration Statements. Each Limited Owner hereby agrees that the Master Trust, the Managing Owner and the Trustee are authorized to execute, deliver and perform the agreements, acts, transactions and matters contemplated hereby or described in or contemplated by the Registration Statements on behalf of the Master Trust without any further act, approval or vote of the Limited Owners, notwithstanding any other provision of this Trust Agreement, the Delaware Trust Statute or any applicable law, rule or regulation.

SECTION 4.13 Litigation. The Managing Owner is hereby authorized to prosecute, defend, settle or compromise actions or claims at law or in equity as may be necessary or proper to enforce or protect the Master Trust’s interests. The Managing Owner shall satisfy any judgment, decree or decision of any court, board or authority having jurisdiction or any settlement of any suit or claim prior to judgment or final decision thereon, first, out of any insurance proceeds available therefor, next, out of the Master Trust’s assets and, thereafter, out of the assets (to the extent that it is permitted to do so under the various other provisions of this Trust Agreement) of the Managing Owner.

SECTION 5.1 Transfer of Managing Owner’s General Shares. (a) Upon an Event of Withdrawal (as defined in Section 13.1), the Managing Owner’s General Shares shall be purchased by the Master Trust for a purchase price in cash equal to the Net Asset Value thereof. The Managing Owner will not cease to be a Managing Owner of the Master Trust merely upon the occurrence of its making an assignment for the benefit of creditors, filing a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, filing a petition or answer seeking for itself any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any statute, law or regulation, filing an answer or other pleading admitting or failing to contest material allegations of a petition filed against it in any proceeding of this nature or seeking, consenting to or acquiescing in the appointment of a Trustee, receiver or liquidator for itself or of all or any substantial part of its properties.

(b) To the full extent permitted by law, and on sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to the Limited Owners, of their right to vote thereon, if the transaction is other than with an Affiliated entity, nothing in this Trust Agreement shall be deemed to prevent the merger of the Managing Owner with another corporation or other entity, the reorganization of the Managing Owner into or with any other corporation or other entity, the transfer of all the capital stock of the Managing Owner or the assumption of the Shares, rights, duties and liabilities of the

Managing Owner 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 Managing Owner’s Shares to an Affiliate of the Managing Owner. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the transactions referenced in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a voluntary withdrawal for purposes of Section 4.11 or an Event of Withdrawal or assignment of Shares for purposes of Sections 5.2(a) or 5.2(c).

(c) Upon assignment of all of its Shares, the Managing Owner shall not cease to be a Managing Owner of the Master Trust, or to have the power to exercise any rights or powers as a Managing Owner, or to have liability for the obligations of the Master Trust under Section 1.7 hereof, until an additional Managing Owner, who shall carry on the business of the Master Trust, has been admitted to the Master Trust.

SECTION 5.2 Transfer of Limited Shares. (a) The Managing Owner reserves the right to permit or deny, in its sole discretion, any written requests from the Limited Owners with respect to transferring Limited Shares. Permitted assignees of the Limited Owners shall be admitted as substitute Limited Owners pursuant to this Article V only upon the Managing Owner’s prior written consent.

(i) A substituted Limited Owner is a permitted assignee that has been admitted as a Limited Owner with all the rights and powers of a Limited Owner hereunder. If all of the conditions provided in Section 5.2(b) below are satisfied, the Managing Owner shall admit permitted assignees into the Master Trust as a Limited Owner by making an entry on the books and records of the Master Trust reflecting that such permitted assignees have been admitted as a Limited Owner, and such permitted assignees will be deemed Limited Owners at such time as such admission is reflected on the books and records of the Master Trust.

(ii) A permitted assignee is a Person to whom a Limited Owner has assigned his Limited Shares with the consent of the Managing Owner, as provided below in Section 5.2(d) but who has not become a substituted Limited Owner. A permitted assignee shall have no right to vote, to obtain any information on or account of the Master Trust’s transactions or to inspect the Master Trust’s books, but shall only be entitled to receive the share of the profits, or the return of the Capital Contribution, to which his assignor would otherwise be entitled as set forth in Section 5.2(d) below to the extent of the Limited Shares assigned. Each Limited Owner agrees that any permitted assignee may become a substituted Limited Owner without the further act or consent of the Limited Owner, regardless of whether his permitted assignee becomes a substituted Limited Owner.

(iii) A Limited Owner shall bear all extraordinary costs (including attorneys’ and accountants’ fees), if any, related to any transfer, assignment, pledge or encumbrance of his Limited Shares.

(b) No permitted assignee of the whole or any portion of a Limited Owner’s Limited Shares shall have the right to become a substituted Limited Owner in place of his assignor unless all of the following conditions are satisfied:

(i) The written consent of the Managing Owner to such substitution shall be obtained, the granting or denial of which shall be within the sole and absolute discretion of the Managing Owner, subject to the provisions of Section 5.2(d)(i).

(ii) A duly executed and acknowledged written instrument of assignment has been filed with the Master Trust setting forth the intention of the assignor that the permitted assignee become a substituted Limited Owner in his place;

(iii) The assignor and permitted assignee execute and acknowledge and/or deliver such other instruments as the Managing Owner may deem necessary or desirable to effect such admission, including his execution and delivery to the Managing Owner, as a counterpart to this Trust Agreement, of a Power of Attorney in the form set forth in the Purchase Order Subscription Agreement; and

(iv) Upon the request of the Managing Owner, an opinion of the Master Trust’s independent legal counsel is obtained to the effect that (A) the assignment will not jeopardize the Master Trust’s tax classification as a partnership and (B) the assignment does not violate this Trust Agreement or the Delaware Trust Statute.

(c) Any Person admitted as a Shareholder shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Trust Agreement as if an original signatory hereto.

(d) (i) Subject to the provisions of Section 5.2(e) below and to the provisions of this Section generally, a Limited Owner, subject to the Managing Owner’s consent, may have the right to assign all or any of his Limited Shares to any assignee by a written assignment (on a form acceptable to the Managing Owner) the terms of which are not in contravention of any of the provisions of this Trust Agreement, which assignment has been executed by the assignor and received by the Master Trust and recorded on the books thereof. An assignee of a Limited Share (or any interest therein) will not be recognized as a permitted assignee without the consent of the Managing Owner, which consent the Managing Owner may withhold in its sole discretion. The Managing Owner shall incur no liability to any investor or prospective investor for any action or inaction by it in connection with the foregoing, provided it acted in good faith.

(ii) Except as specifically provided in this Trust Agreement, a permitted assignee of a Share shall be entitled to receive distributions attributable to the Share acquired by reason of such assignment from and after the effective date of the assignment of such Share to him. The “effective date” of an assignment of a Limited Share shall be determined by the Managing Owner in its sole discretion.

(iii) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Master Trust and the Managing Owner shall be entitled to treat the permitted assignor of such Share as the absolute owner thereof in all respects, and shall incur no liability for distributions made in good faith to him, until such time as the written assignment has been received by, and recorded on the books of, the Master Trust.

(iv) No assignment or transfer of a Share may be made which would result in the Limited Owners and permitted assignees of the Limited Owners owning,

directly or indirectly, individually or in the aggregate, 5% or more of the stock of the Managing Owner or any related person as defined in Sections 267(b) and 707(b)(1) of the Code. If any such assignment or transfer would otherwise be made by bequest, inheritance of operation of law, the Share transferred shall be deemed sold by the transferor to the Master Trust immediately prior to such transfer in the same manner as provided in Section 5.2(e)(ii).

(e) The Managing Owner, in its sole discretion, may cause the Master Trust to make, refrain from making, or once having made, to revoke, the election referred to in section 754 of the Code, and any similar election provided by state or local law, or any similar provision enacted in lieu thereof.

(f) The Managing Owner, in its sole discretion, may cause the Master Trust to make, refrain from making, or once having made, to revoke the election by a qualified fund under Code section 988(c)(1)(E)(iii)(V), and any similar election provided by state or local law, or any similar provision enacted in lieu thereof.

(g) Each Limited Owner hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Master Trust and each Shareholder against any and all losses, damages, liabilities or expense (including, without limitation, tax liabilities or loss of tax benefits) arising, directly or indirectly, as a result of any transfer or purported transfer by such Limited Owner in violation of any provision contained in this Section 5.2.

SECTION 6.1 Capital Accounts. The Master Trust shall maintain for each Shareholder with respect to each Master Fund (which includes beneficial owners of Master Fund interests where information regarding the identity of such owner has been furnished to the Master Trust in accordance with section 6031(c) or the Code or any other method acceptable to the Managing Owner in its sole discretion) owning a Master Fund interest a separate Capital Account with respect to such Master Fund interest in accordance with the rules of Treasury Regulation section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). The initial balance of each Shareholder’s book capital account shall be the amount of his initial Capital Contribution. Such Capital Account shall be (i) increased by the amount of all Capital Contributions made with respect to the respective Master Fund interest and all items of income and gain with respect to each Master Fund computed and allocated to the Master Fund Shares in accordance with this Agreement and (ii) decreased by the amount of cash distributions made with respect to such Master Fund interest and all items of deduction and loss with respect to each Master Fund computed and allocated in accordance with this Agreement.

(a) Consistent with the provisions of Treasury Regulation section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), upon an issuance of additional Shares for cash, the Capital Accounts of all Shareholders shall, immediately prior to such issuances, be adjusted (consistent with the provisions hereof) upwards or downwards to reflect any Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss attributable to each Master Fund property, as if such Unrealized Gain or Loss had been recognized upon an actual sale of each such property, immediately prior to such issuance, and had been allocated to the Shareholders at such time pursuant to Section 6.3.

(b) In accordance with Treasury Regulation section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), immediately prior to the distribution of cash in redemption of all or a portion of a Shareholder’s Shares, the capital accounts of all Shareholders shall, immediately prior to any such distribution, be adjusted (consistent with the provisions hereof) upward or downward to reflect any Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss attributable to each Master Fund property, as if such Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss had been recognized upon an actual sale of each property, immediately prior to such distribution, and had been allocated to the Shareholders at such time pursuant to Section 6.3.

SECTION 6.2 Monthly Closing of 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 Master Trust shall conduct an interim closing of the books of each Master Fund 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 Master Trust shall determine the amount of Profit and Loss of each Master Fund attributable to that calendar month. Master Fund Profits and Losses shall be determined in accordance with the accounting methods followed by the Master Trust for federal income tax purposes.

SECTION 6.3 Monthly Allocations. All allocations to Shareholders of items included within the Master Fund’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 each Master Fund Capital Account and in determining the rights of the Shareholders among themselves, except as otherwise provided in this Article VI, each item of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be allocated among Shareholders in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.

(b) Any item of loss or deduction otherwise allocated to the Managing Owner pursuant to Section 6.3(a) which is in excess of such Managing Owner’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 Managing Owner’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 Managing Owner 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)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), items of Master Fund 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 6.3(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 Agreement, upon or prior to the issuance of additional Shares, the Managing Owner shall have the sole and complete discretion, without the approval of any other Shareholder, to amend any provision of this Article VI 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 6.4 Code Section 754 Adjustments. To the extent an adjustment to the tax basis of any Master Fund asset 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 Master 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 of the particular Master Fund on the American Stock Exchange during the calendar month in which such transfer is deemed to occur pursuant to Section 5.2 without regard to the actual price paid by the transferee.

SECTION 6.5 Allocation of Profit and Loss for U.S. Federal Income Tax Purposes.

(a) Except as otherwise provided, each item of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of each Master Fund 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 each Master Fund as follows:

(i) Items attributable to an Adjusted Property will be allocated among the Shareholders of each Master Fund in a manner consistent with the principles of section 704(c) of the Code to take into account the Unrealized Gain or Loss attributable to the property and the allocations thereof pursuant to Section 6.3(a) and (b).

(ii) Any items of income, gain, loss or deduction otherwise allocable under this Section 6.5 shall be subject to allocation by the Managing Owner 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 6.5(b), any items of income, gain, loss or deduction otherwise allocable to the Managing Owner pursuant to Section 6.3(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 a Master Fund pursuant to Section 6.3(b) shall be allocated to such other Shareholders in the same manner and to the same extent provided in this Section 6.5(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 6.3(c).

(c) The tax allocations prescribed by this Section 6.5 shall be made to each holder of a Share whether or not the holder is a substituted Limited Owner. For purposes of this Section 6.5, tax allocations shall be made to the Managing Owner’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 6.5 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 6.3 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 6.5, if after taking into account any distributions to be made with respect to such Share for the relevant period pursuant to Section 6.7 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 such Master Fund (subject to the same limitation).

SECTION 6.6 Effect of Section 754 Election. All items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit recognized by the Master Trust for federal income tax purposes and allocated to Shareholders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be determined without regard to any election under section 754 of the Code which may be made by the Master 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 6.7 Allocation of Distributions. Initially, distributions shall be made by the Managing Owner, and the Managing Owner shall have sole discretion in determining the amount and frequency of distributions, other than redemptions, with respect to the Shares; 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 of the Shareholders of such Master Fund 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 6.8 Admissions of Shareholders; Transfers. For purposes of this Article VI, items of each Master Fund’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 American Stock Exchange on the last day of the month in which the transfer is recognized by the Master Trust; provided that, gain or loss on the sale or other disposition of all or a substantial portion of the assets of the Master 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 Managing Owner 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 6.9 Liability for State and Local and Other Taxes. In the event that the Master Trust or any Master Fund shall be separately subject to taxation by any state or local or by any foreign taxing authority, the Master Trust or such Master Fund shall be obligated to pay such taxes to such jurisdiction. In the event that the Master Trust or any Master Fund shall be required to make payments to any U.S. 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 Master Trust or such Master Fund to such Shareholder, and such Shareholder shall be liable for, and shall pay to the Master Trust or such Master Fund, any taxes so required to be withheld and paid over by the Master Trust or such Master Fund within ten (10) days after the Managing Owner’s request therefor. Such Shareholder shall also be liable for (and the Managing Owner shall be entitled to redeem additional Shares of the foreign Shareholder as necessary to satisfy) interest on the amount of taxes paid over by the Master Trust or any Master Fund to the IRS or other taxing authority, from the date of the Managing Owner’s request for payment to the date of payment or the redemption, as the case may be, at the rate of two percent (2%) over the prime rate charged from time to time by Citibank, N.A. The amount, if any, payable by the Master Trust to the Shareholder in respect of Shares so redeemed, or in respect of any other actual distribution by the Master Trust or any Master Fund to such Shareholder, shall be reduced by any obligations owed to the Master Trust or any Master Fund by the Shareholder, including, without limitation, the amount of any taxes required to be paid over by the Master Trust to the IRS or other taxing authority and interest thereon as aforesaid. Amounts, if any, deducted by the Master Trust or any Master Fund from any actual distribution or redemption payment to such Shareholder shall be treated as an actual distribution to such Shareholder for all purposes of this Trust Agreement.

SECTION 6.10 Consent to Methods. The methods set forth in this Article VI 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.

SECTION 7.1 Redemption of Redemption Baskets. The following procedures, as supplemented by the more detailed procedures agreed from time-to-time between the Managing Owner and the Limited Owners, will govern the Master Trust with respect to the redemption of Redemption Baskets.

(a) On any Business Day, a Shareholder may redeem one or more Redemption Baskets by delivering a request for redemption to the Managing Owner (such request a “Redemption Order”) in accordance with such procedures as the Managing Owner shall from time-to-time determine.

(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 Managing Owner (the Business Day on which the Redemption Order is so submitted, the “Redemption Order Date”). The Managing Owner shall reject any Redemption Order the fulfillment of which its counsel advises may be illegal under applicable laws and regulations, and the Managing Owner 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 of a Master Fund as of the closing time of the Exchange or the last to close of the exchanges on which the applicable Master Fund assets are traded, whichever is later, on the Redemption Order Date.

(d) By noon New York time on the Business Day immediately following the Redemption Order Date (the “Redemption Settlement Time”), if the Managing Owner’s account at the Depository has by noon, New York time, on such day been credited with the Redemption Baskets being tendered for redemption and the Managing Owner has by such time received the Transaction Fee, the Managing Owner shall deliver the Redemption Distribution by means of such procedures as the Managing Owner shall determine from time-to-time. If by such Redemption Settlement Time, the Managing Owner has not received from a redeeming Shareholder all Redemption Baskets comprising the Redemption Order, the Managing Owner will (i) settle the Redemption Order to the extent of whole Redemption Baskets received from the Shareholder and (ii) keep the Shareholder’s Redemption Order open until noon, New York time, on the first Business Day following the Redemption Settlement Date 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 Managing Owner’s account by noon, New York time, 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 Managing Owner has not received from the redeeming Shareholder all Redemption Baskets comprising the Suspended Redemption Order, the Managing Owner will settle the Suspended Redemption Order to the extent of whole Redemption Baskets then received and any balance of the Suspended

Redemption will be cancelled. Notwithstanding the foregoing, when and under such conditions as the Managing Owner may from time to time determine, the Managing Owner shall be authorized to deliver the Redemption Distribution notwithstanding that a Redemption Basket has not been credited to the Master Trust’s account if the Shareholder has collateralized its obligation to deliver the Redemption Basket on such terms as the Managing Owner may, in its sole discretion, from time to time agree.

(c) Every written note, bond, contract, instrument, certificate or undertaking made or issued by the Managing Owner shall give notice to the effect that the same was executed or made by or on behalf of the Master Trust and that the obligations of such instrument are not binding upon the Limited Owners individually but are binding only upon the assets and property of the Master Trust, and no resort shall be had to the Limited Owner’s 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 which the Managing Owner deems appropriate, but the omission thereof shall not operate to bind the Limited Owners individually or otherwise invalidate any such note, bond, contract, instrument, certificate or undertaking.

Following such proposal, the Managing Owner shall submit to the Limited Owners of each affected series a verbatim statement of any proposed amendment, and statements concerning the legality of such amendment and the effect of such amendment on the limited liability of the Limited Owner. The Managing Owner shall include in any such submission its recommendations as to the proposed amendment. The amendment shall become effective only upon the written approval or affirmative vote of Limited Owners holding Shares equal to at least a majority (over 50%) of the Net Asset Value of a Master Fund (excluding Shares held by the Managing Owner and its Affiliates) or, if the proposed amendment affects only certain series, of each affected series, or such higher percentage as may be required by applicable law, and upon receipt of an opinion of independent legal counsel as set forth in Section 8.2 hereof and to the effect that the amendment is legal, valid and binding and will not adversely affect the limitations on liability of the Limited Owner as described in Section 8.3 of this Trust Agreement.

In addition, except as otherwise provided below, reduction of the capital account of any assignee or modification of the percentage of Profits, Losses or distributions to which an assignee is entitled hereunder shall not be affected by amendment to this Trust Agreement without such assignee’s approval.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in Section 11.1(a) hereof, the Managing Owner may, without the approval of the Limited Owners, make such amendments to this Trust Agreement which (i) are necessary to add to the representations, duties or obligations of the Managing Owner or surrender any right or power granted to the Managing Owner herein, for the benefit of the Limited Owners, (ii) are necessary to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision herein which 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 which will not be inconsistent with the provisions of the Trust Agreement or the Prospectus, or (iii) the Managing Owner deems advisable, provided, however, that no amendment shall be adopted pursuant to this clause (iii) unless the adoption thereof (A) is not adverse to the interests of the Limited Owners; (B) is consistent with Section 4.1 hereof; (C) except as otherwise provided in Section 11.1(c) below,

does not affect the allocation of Profits and Losses among the Limited Owners or between the Limited Owners and the Managing Owner; and (D) does not adversely affect the limitations on liability of the Limited Owners, as described in Article VIII hereof or the status of each Master Fund as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

(c) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in Sections 11.1(a) and (b) hereof, the Managing Owner may, without the approval of the Limited Owners, amend the provisions of Article VI of this Trust Agreement relating to the allocations of Profits, Losses, Disposition Gain, Disposition Loss and distributions among the Shareholders if the Master Trust is advised at any time by the Master Trust’s accountants or legal counsel that the allocations provided in Article VI 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 Managing Owner is empowered to amend such provisions to the minimum extent necessary in accordance with the advice of the accountants and counsel to effect the allocations and distributions provided in this Trust Agreement. New allocations made by the Managing Owner in reliance upon the advice of the accountants or counsel described above shall be deemed to be made pursuant to the obligation of the Managing Owner to the Master Trust and the Limited Owners, and no such new allocation shall give rise to any claim or cause of action by any Limited Owner.

(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 consent of the Trustee if it reasonably believes that such amendment adversely affects any of the rights, duties or liabilities of the Trustee; provided, however, that the Trustee may not withhold its consent for any action which the Limited Owners are permitted to take under Section 8.2(d) above. At the expense of the Managing Owner, the Trustee shall execute and file any amendment to the Certificate of Trust if so directed by the Managing Owner or if such amendment is required in the opinion of the Trustee.

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

Meetings of the Shareholders of the Master Trust or any Master Fund thereof may be called by the Managing Owner and will be called by it upon the written request of Limited Owners holding Shares equal to at least 10% of the Net Asset Value of the Master Trust or any Master Fund. Such call for a meeting shall be deemed to have been made upon the receipt by the Managing Owner of a written request from the requisite percentage of Limited Owners. The Managing Owner shall deposit in the United States mails, within 15 days after receipt of said request, written notice to all Shareholders of the applicable Master Funds of the meeting and the purpose of the meeting, which shall be held on a date, not less than 30 nor more than 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 action to be taken at the meeting and an opinion of independent counsel as to the effect of such proposed action on the liability of Limited Owners for the debts of the Master Trust. Shareholders may vote in person or by proxy at any such meeting.

SECTION 11.3 Action Without a Meeting. Any action required or permitted to be taken by Shareholders by vote may be taken without a meeting by written consent setting forth the actions so taken. Such written consents shall be treated for all purposes as votes at a meeting. If the vote or consent of any Shareholder to any action of the Master Trust or any Shareholder, as contemplated by this Trust Agreement, is solicited by the Managing Owner, the solicitation shall be effected by notice to each Shareholder given in the manner provided in Section 15.4. The vote or consent of each Shareholder so solicited shall be deemed conclusively to have been cast or granted as requested in the notice of solicitation, whether or not the notice of solicitation is actually received by that Shareholder, unless the Shareholder expresses written objection to the vote or consent by notice given in the manner provided in Section 15.4 below and actually received by the Master Trust within 20 days after the notice of solicitation is effected. The Managing Owner and all persons dealing with the Master Trust shall be entitled to act in reliance on any vote or consent which is deemed cast or granted pursuant to this Section and shall be fully indemnified by the Master Trust in so doing. Any action taken or omitted in reliance on any such deemed vote or consent of one or more Shareholders shall not be void or voidable by reason of timely communication made by or on behalf of all or any of such Shareholders in any manner other than as expressly provided in Section 15.4.

If the Master Trust is terminated as the result of an Event of Withdrawal and a failure of all remaining Shareholders to continue the business of the Master Trust and to appoint a successor Managing Owner as provided in clause (a)(ii) above, within 120 days of such Event of Withdrawal, Limited Owners holding Shares representing at least a majority (over 50%) of the Net Asset Value of each Master Fund (not including Shares held by the Managing Owner and its Affiliates) may elect to continue the business of the Master Trust by forming a new statutory trust (the “Reconstituted Master Trust”) on the same terms and provisions as set forth in this Trust Agreement (whereupon the parties hereto shall execute and deliver any documents or instruments as may be necessary to reform the Master Trust). Any such election must also provide for the election of a Managing Owner to the Reconstituted Master Trust. If such an election is made, all Limited Owners of the Master Fund shall be bound thereby and continue as Limited Owners of the Reconstituted Master Trust.

(b) The occurrence of any event which would make unlawful the continued existence of the Master Trust or any Master Fund thereof, as the case may be.

(c) In the event of the suspension, revocation or termination of the Managing Owner’s registration as a commodity pool operator or commodity trading advisor under the CE Act, or membership as a commodity pool operator or commodity trading advisor with the NFA unless at the time there is at least one remaining Managing Owner whose registration or membership has not been suspended, revoked or terminated.

(d) The Master Trust or, as the case may be, any Master Fund, becomes insolvent or bankrupt.

(e) The Limited Owners holding Shares representing at least a majority (over 50%) of the Net Asset Value (which excludes the Shares of the Managing Owner) vote to dissolve the Master Trust, notice of which is sent to the Managing Owner not less than ninety (90) Business Days prior to the effective date of termination.

(f) The determination of the Managing Owner that a Master Fund’s aggregate net assets in relation to the operating expenses of such Master Fund make it unreasonable or imprudent to continue the business of such Master Fund, or, in the exercise of its reasonable discretion, the determination by the Managing Owner to dissolve the Master Trust because the aggregate Net Asset Value of the Master Trust or any such Master Fund as of the close of business on any Business Day declines below $10 million.

(g) The Master Trust is required to be registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

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

The death, legal disability, bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution, or withdrawal of any Limited Owner (as long as such Limited Owner is not the sole Limited Owner of the Master Trust) shall not result in the termination of the Master Trust or any Master Fund thereof, and such Limited Owner, his estate, custodian or personal representative shall have no right to withdraw or value such Limited Owner’s Shares except as provided in Section 7.1 hereof. Each Limited Owner (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 Master Trust and any right to an audit or examination of the books of the Master Trust, except for such rights as are set forth in Article IX hereof relating to the Books of Account and reports of the Master Trust.

SECTION 13.2 Distributions on Dissolution. Upon the dissolution of the Master Trust or any Master Fund, the Managing Owner (or in the event there is no Managing Owner, such person (the “Liquidating Trustee”) as the majority in interest of the Limited Owners may propose and approve) shall take full charge of the applicable Master Fund 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 Managing Owner 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 Master Trust. Thereafter, in accordance with Section 3808(e) of the Delaware Trust Statute, the business and affairs of the Master Trust or Master Fund 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: 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 Master Trust (whether by payment or the making of reasonable provision for payment thereof) other than liabilities for distributions to Shareholders, and (b) to the Managing Owner and each Limited Owner pro rata in accordance with his positive book capital account balance, less any amount owing by such Shareholder to the Master Trust, after giving effect to all adjustments made pursuant to Article VI and all distributions theretofore made to the Shareholders pursuant to Article VI. After the distribution of all remaining assets of the Master Trust, the Managing Owner will contribute to the Master Trust an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the deficit balance, if any, in its book capital account,

and (ii) the total Capital Contributions of the Limited Owners. Any Capital Contributions made by the Managing Owner pursuant to this Section shall be applied first to satisfy any amounts then owed by the Master Trust to its creditors, and the balance, if any, shall be distributed to those Shareholders in the Master Trust whose book capital account balances (immediately following the distribution of any liquidation proceeds) were positive, in proportion to their respective positive book capital account balances.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Trust Agreement, the existence of the Master Trust as a separate legal entity shall continue until the filing of such certificate of cancellation.

SECTION 14.1 Power of Attorney Executed Concurrently. Concurrently with the written acceptance and adoption of the provisions of this Trust Agreement, each Limited Owner shall execute and deliver to the Managing Owner a Power of Attorney as part of the Participant Agreement, or in such other form as may be prescribed by the Managing Owner. Each Limited Owner, by its execution and delivery hereof, irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Managing Owner and its officers and directors, with full power of substitution, as the true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent for such Limited Owner with full power and authority to act in his name and on his behalf in the execution, acknowledgment, filing and publishing of Master Trust documents, including, but not limited to, the following:

(a) Any certificates and other instruments, including but not limited to, any applications for authority to do business and amendments thereto, which the Managing Owner deems appropriate to qualify or continue the Master Trust as a business trust in the jurisdictions in which the Master 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 Master Trust or the Shareholders under the laws of any jurisdiction;

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

(c) This Trust Agreement and any documents which may be required to effect an amendment to this Trust Agreement approved under the terms of the Trust Agreement, and the continuation of the Master Trust, the admission of the signers of the Power of Attorney as Limited Owners or of others as additional or substituted Limited Owners, or the termination of the Master Trust, provided such continuation, admission or termination is in accordance with the terms of this Trust Agreement.

SECTION 14.2 Effect of Power of Attorney. The Power of Attorney concurrently granted by each Limited Owner to the Managing Owner:

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

(b) May be exercised by the Managing Owner for each Limited Owner 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; and

(c) Shall survive the delivery of an assignment by a Limited Owner of the whole or any portion of his Limited Shares; except that where the assignee thereof has been approved by the Managing Owner for admission to the Master Trust as a substituted Limited Owner, the Power of Attorney of the assignor shall survive the delivery of such assignment for the sole purpose of enabling the Managing Owner to execute, acknowledge and file any instrument necessary to effect such substitution.

Each Limited Owner agrees to be bound by any representations made by the Managing Owner and by any successor thereto, determined to be acting in good faith pursuant to such Power of Attorney and not constituting negligence or misconduct.

SECTION 14.3 Limitation on Power of Attorney. The Power of Attorney concurrently granted by each Limited Owner to the Managing Owner shall not authorize the Managing Owner to act on behalf of the Limited Owners in any situation in which this Trust Agreement requires the approval of Limited Owners 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 Managing Owner or any new Managing Owner pursuant to this Power of Attorney, this Trust Agreement shall control.

SECTION 15.1 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, however, that causes of action for violations of U.S. federal or state securities laws shall not be governed by this Section, and provided, further, 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, there shall not be applicable to the Master Trust, the Trustee, the Managing Owner, 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 which 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 trustee or the Managing Owner set forth or referenced in this Trust Agreement. Section 3540 of Title 12 of the Delaware Code shall not apply to the Master Trust. The Master Trust shall be of the type commonly called a “statutory trust,” and without limiting the provisions hereof, the Master Trust may exercise all powers that are ordinarily exercised by such a trust under Delaware law. The Master 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 Master Trust may not exercise such power or privilege or take such actions.

(a) The provisions of this Trust Agreement are severable, and if the Managing Owner 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 Managing Owner 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 Managing Owner or 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.

SECTION 15.3 Construction. In this Trust Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires, words used in the singular or in the plural include both the plural and singular and words denoting any gender include all genders. The title and headings of different parts are inserted for convenience and shall not affect the meaning, construction or effect of this Trust Agreement.

SECTION 15.4 Notices. All notices or communications under this Trust Agreement (other than requests for redemption of Shares, notices of assignment, transfer, pledge or encumbrance of Shares, and reports and notices by the Managing Owner to the Limited Owners) shall be in writing and shall be effective upon personal delivery, or if sent by mail, postage prepaid, or if sent electronically, by facsimile or by overnight courier; and addressed, in each

such case, to the address set forth in the books and records of the Master Trust or such other address as may be specified in writing, of the party to whom such notice is to be given, upon the deposit of such notice in the United States mail, upon transmission and electronic confirmation thereof or upon deposit with a representative of an overnight courier, as the case may be.

DBLCI™ and Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index™ are trade marks of Deutsche Bank AG and are the subject of Community Trade Mark Nos. 3055043 and 3054996. Trade Mark applications in the United States are pending. Any use of these marks must be with the consent of or under license from Deutsche Bank AG.

The Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index–Optimum Yield Excess Return™ (the “DBLCI-OYER™”) is intended to reflect the performance of certain sectors of commodities (each, a “Sector Index”). Each Sector Index is (i) calculated on an excess return, or unfunded basis and (ii) rolled in a manner which is aimed at potentially maximizing the roll benefits in backwardated markets and minimizing the losses from rolling in contangoed markets. Each Sector Index is comprised of one or more underlying commodities (the “Index Commodities”). The composition of Index Commodities with respect to each Sector Index varies according to each specific sector that such Sector Index intends to reflect. Each Index Commodity is represented in the Sector Index as an index with respect to that specific Index Commodity (“Single Commodity Index”). Each Index Commodity is assigned a weight (the “Index Base Weight”) which is intended to reflect the proportion of such Index Commodity relative to each Sector Index.

DBLCI-OY CL ER^™, DBLCI-OY GC ER™, or DBLCI-OY SI ER™ are Sector Indexes with a single Index Commodity, or Single Commodity Sector Indexes.

Each Sector Index has been calculated back to a base date (the “Base Date”). On the Base Date the closing level of each Sector Index, or Closing Level, was 100.

The sponsor of the each Sector Index is Deutsche Bank AG London (the “Index Sponsor”).

“CBOT” means the Board of Trade of the City of Chicago Inc., or its successor.

“NYBOT” means Board of Trade of the City of New York, Inc. or its successor.

Each Single Commodity Index of the DBLCI-OYER™ employs a rule-based approach when it ‘rolls’ from one futures contract to another for each Index Commodity. Rather than select a new futures contract based on a predetermined schedule (e.g., monthly), each futures contract underlying a Single Commodity Index rolls to the futures contract which generates the maximum ‘implied roll yield.’ The futures contract having a delivery month within the next thirteen months which generates the highest implied roll yield will be included in each Single Commodity Index. As a result, each Single Commodity Index is able to potentially maximize the roll benefits in backwardated markets and minimize the losses from rolling in contangoed markets.

In general, as a futures contract approaches its expiration date, its price will move towards the spot price in a contango market. Assuming the spot price does not change, this would result in the futures contract price decreasing. The opposite is true in a backwardated market. A contango market will tend to cause a drag on each Single Commodity Index while a backwardated market will tend to cause a push on a Single Commodity Index.

DBLCI-OY™ is calculated in USD on both an excess return (unfunded) and total return (funded) index levels.

The futures contract price of the underlying futures contracts of each Single Commodity Index (and, in turn, each Index Commodity) will be the exchange closing prices for the underlying futures contract of each such Single Commodity Index on each weekday when banks in New York, New York are open (“Index Business Days”). If a weekday is not an Exchange Business Day but is an Index Business Day, the exchange closing price from the previous Index Business Day will be used for the underlying futures contract of each Single Commodity Index. “Exchange Business Day” means, in respect of the underlying futures contract of each Single Commodity Index, a day that is (or, but for the occurrence of an Index Disruption Event, as provided in paragraph 3, or Force Majeure Event, as provided in paragraph 4, would have been) a trading day for such underlying futures contract of each Single Commodity Index on the relevant Exchange, as defined in paragraph 3.

The excess return calculation of the DBLCI-OYER™ of each Sector Index is equal to the percentage change of the market values of the underlying Single Commodity Indexes with respect to each Index Commodity. The excess return calculation of the DBLCI-OYER™ of each Single Commodity Sector Index is equal to the percentage change of the market values of the underlying Single Commodity Index with respect to the applicable Index Commodity. Each Single Commodity Index will have two futures contracts on each Index Commodity throughout roll periods and one futures contracts on all other days.

On the first New York business day of each month (the “Verification Date”) each futures contract currently in each Single Commodity Index is tested for continued inclusion in the Single Commodity Index based on the month in which the futures contract underlying the Single Commodity Index requires delivery of the underlying Index Commodity (the “Delivery Month”). If, on the Verification Date, the Delivery Month is the next month, a new futures contract is selected for the Single Commodity Index. For example, if the first New York business day is May 1, 2006, and the Delivery Month of a futures contract currently in the Single Commodity Index is June 2006, a new futures contract with a later Delivery Month will be selected for the Single Commodity Index.

For each futures contract selected for a Single Commodity Index, the new futures contract selected for inclusion in the Single Commodity Index will be the futures contract with the maximum “implied roll yield” based on the closing price for each eligible futures contract (“Eligible Futures Contract”). Eligible Futures Contracts are any futures contracts having a Delivery Month (i) no sooner than the month after the Delivery Month of the futures contract currently in the Single Commodity Index, and (ii) no later than the 13^th month after the Verification Date. For example, if the first New York business day is May 1, 2006 and the Delivery Month of a futures contract currently in the Single Commodity Index is therefore June 2006, the Delivery Month of an Eligible Futures Contract must be between July 2006 and July 2007. The implied roll yield is expressed as:

The futures contract with the maximum implied roll yield is then selected for inclusion in a Single Commodity Index. If two futures contracts have the same implied roll yield, the futures contract with the minimum number of months prior to the exchange expiry month is selected for the Single Commodity Index.

After the futures contract selection, the monthly Single Commodity Index roll unwinds the old futures contract and enters a position in the new futures contract. This takes place between the 2^nd and 6^th Index Business Day of the month.

If the old futures contract and the new futures contract are the same, then the contract will not be rolled and the notional holding is kept constant as follows:

On each day during the roll period, new notional holdings are calculated. The calculations for the old futures contracts comprising a Single Commodity Index that are leaving the DBLCI-OYER™ and the new futures contracts comprising a Single Commodity Index that are entering are different.

The notional holdings of the old futures contracts comprising a Single Commodity Index i is expressed as:

The notional holdings of the new futures contracts comprising a Single Commodity Index j is expressed as:

On all days that are not monthly index roll days, the notional holdings of each future contract comprising a Single Commodity Index remains constant as follows:

The DBLCI-OYER™ is re-weighted on an annual basis on the 6^th Index Business Day of each November.

The DBLCI-OYER™ calculation is expressed as the weighted average return of the underlying Single Commodity Indexes.

If an Index Disruption Event in relation to a futures contract underlying a Single Commodity Index continues for a period of five successive Exchange Business Days, the Index Sponsor will, in its discretion, either (i) continue to calculate the relevant Closing Price of each a futures contract underlying a Single Commodity Index by reference to the Closing Price of the relevant Exchange Traded Instrument with respect to such futures contract underlying a Single Commodity Index on the immediately preceding Valid Date (as provided in the definition of the relevant Closing Price) for a further period of five successive Exchange Business Days or (ii) select:

in each case to replace the exchange instrument relating to the relevant Index Commodity, all as determined by the Index Sponsor.

In the case of (i) above, if an Index Disruption Event in relation to the relevant Index Commodity continues for the further period of five successive Exchange Business Days referred to therein, on the expiry of such period the provisions of (ii) above shall apply.

In the case of a replacement of an Exchange Traded Instrument as described in (ii) above, the Index Sponsor will make such adjustments to the methodology and calculation of the Sector Index (or Single Commodity Sector Index, as applicable) as it determines to be appropriate to account for the relevant replacement and will publish such adjustments in accordance with paragraph 7 (Publication of Closing Levels and Adjustments) below.

“Closing Price” means, in respect of an Index Business Day, the closing price on the appropriate Exchange of the relevant Index Commodity.

“Exchange Business Day” means, in respect of an Index Commodity, a day that is (or, but for the occurrence of an Index Disruption Event or Force Majeure Event would have been) a trading day for such Index Commodity on the relevant Exchange.

“Exchange Traded Instrument” means, in respect of an Index Commodity, an instrument for future delivery of that Index Commodity on a specified delivery date traded on the relevant Exchange.

“Group of Commodities” means each of (i) energy and oils, (ii) precious metals, (iii) industrial metals and (iv) agricultural products. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) Brent Crude Oil, Heating Oil, Natural Gas, RBOB Gasoline, and Sweet Light Crude Oil (WTI) are energy and oils, (ii) Gold and Silver are precious metals, (iii) Aluminum, Copper - Grade A and Zinc are industrial metals and (iv) Corn, Soybeans, Sugar and Wheat are agricultural products.

“Index Disruption Event” means, in respect of an Index Commodity or a related Exchange Instrument, an event (other than a Force Majeure Event) that would require the Index Sponsor to calculate the Closing Price in respect of the relevant Index Commodity on an alternative basis were such event to occur or exist on a day that is an Exchange Business Day (or, if different, the day on which the Closing Price for such Exchange Instrument for the relevant Index Business Day would, in the ordinary course, be published or announced by the relevant Exchange).

“Valid Date” means, in respect of an Index Commodity, a day which is an Exchange Business Day in respect of such Index Commodity and a day on which an Index Disruption Event in respect of such Index Commodity does not occur.

If a Force Majeure Event occurs on an Index Business Day, the Index Sponsor may in its discretion:

“Force Majeure Event” means an event or circumstance (including, without limitation, a systems failure, natural or man-made disaster, act of God, armed conflict, act of terrorism, riot or labour disruption or any similar intervening circumstance) that is beyond the reasonable control of the Index Sponsor and that the Index Sponsor determines affects the applicable Sector Index (or applicable Single Commodity Sector Index), any Index Commodity or any Exchange Instrument.

All determinations made by the Index Sponsor will be made by it in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner by reference to such factors as the Index Sponsor deems appropriate and will be final, conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error.

The Index Sponsor will, subject as provided below, employ the methodology described above and its application of such methodology shall be conclusive and binding. While the Index Sponsor currently employs the above described methodology to calculate the Sector Indexes (including the Single Commodity Sector Indexes), no assurance can be given that fiscal, market, regulatory, juridical or financial circumstances (including, but not limited to, any changes to or any suspension or termination of or any other events affecting any Index Commodity or a futures contract) will not arise that would, in the view of the Index Sponsor, necessitate a modification of or change to such methodology and in such circumstances the Index Sponsor may make any such modification or change as it determines appropriate. The Index Sponsor may also make modifications to the terms of either the DBLCI-OYER™ or Sector Indexes (including the Single Commodity Sector Indexes) in any manner that it may deem necessary or desirable, including (without limitation) to correct any manifest or proven error or to cure, correct or supplement any defective provision contained in this Description. The Index Sponsor will publish notice of any such modification or change and the effective date thereof in accordance with paragraph 7 (Publication of Closing Levels and Adjustments) below.

The Index Sponsor will publish the Closing Levels of the Sector Indexes (including the Single Commodity Sector Indexes) and the intra-day indicative Index level once every fifteen seconds throughout each trading day (Amex symbols: DBLCI-OY Energy ER: DBENIX; DBLCI-OY CL ER: DBOLIX; DBLCI-OY Precious Metals ER: DBPMIX; DBLCI-OY GC ER: DGLDIX; DBLCI-OY SI ER: DBSLIX; DBLCI-OY Industrial Metals ER: DBBMIX; DBLCI-OY Agriculture ER: DBAGIX) (quoted in U.S. dollars) on the consolidated tape, Reuters and/or Bloomberg and on the Managing Owner’s website at http://www.dbfunds.db.com and http://index.db.com, or any successor thereto.

The Index Sponsor will publish any adjustments made to the DBLCI-OYER™ on the Managing Owner’s website at http://www.dbfunds.db.com and http://index.db.com or any successor thereto.

Set out below are the closing levels and related data with respect to each Index as of August 31, 2006.

With respect to each of the Closing Levels Tables, historic daily Index Closing Levels have been calculated with respect to each Index since the Base Date of each Index.

Each Base Date was selected by the Index Sponsor based on the availability of price data with respect to the relevant underlying futures contracts on the Index Commodities of each Index.

Since March 2003, the historic data with respect to the closing prices of futures contracts on Sweet Light Crude Oil (CL), Heating Oil (HO), Wheat (W), Corn (C), Gold (GC) and Aluminum (MAL) originated from Reuters. Prior to March 2003, the closing prices of futures contracts on CL, HO, W, C, GC and MAL were obtained from publicly available information from Logical Information Machines (http://www.lim.com), Bloomberg, and Reuters. The Index Sponsor has not independently verified the information extracted from these sources. The Index calculation methodology and commodity future selection are the same prior to and following March 2003.

Since June 2006, the historic data with respect to the closing prices of futures contracts on Brent Crude Oil (LCO), RBOB Gasoline (XB), Natural Gas (NG), Silver (SI), Zinc (MZN), Copper - Grade A (MCU), Soybeans (S) and Sugar (SB) originated from Reuters. Prior to June 2006, the closing prices of futures contracts on LCO, XB, NG, SI, MZN, MCU, S and SB were obtained from publicly available information from Logical Information Machines (http://www.lim.com), Bloomberg, and Reuters. The Index Sponsor has not independently verified the information extracted from these sources. The Index calculation methodology and commodity future selection are the same prior to and following June 2006.

The Index Sponsor used the return of Unleaded Gasoline (traded on the NYMEX under the symbol “HU”) as a proxy with respect to XB prior to November 2005. On and after November 2005, the Index Sponsor obtained historic data from Reuters with respect to XB. The Index Sponsor considers the use of HU as a proxy for XB prior to November 2005 to be appropriate because XB and HU are sufficiently similar in nature.

Complete price histories regarding certain futures contracts on the Index Commodities were not available (e.g., due to lack of trading on specific days). In the event that prices on such futures contracts on the Index Commodities were unavailable during a contract selection day, such futures contract was excluded from the futures contract selection process. The Index Sponsor believes that the incomplete price histories should not have a material impact on the calculation of any of the Indexes.

Each Index Closing Level is equal to the weighted sum of the market value of the commodity futures contracts of all the respective Index Commodities that comprise each specific Index. The market value of the commodity futures contracts of an Index Commodity is equal to the number of commodity futures contracts of an Index Commodity held multiplied by the commodity futures contracts closing price of an Index Commodity.

The weight of each Index Commodity of a specific Index is linked to the number of commodity futures contracts held of such Index Commodity and the price of commodity futures contracts of the Index Commodity. The weight of an Index Commodity is defined as the market value of the commodity futures contracts of the Index Commodity divided by the sum of all market values of all commodity futures contracts of the Index Commodities that comprise and Index multiplied by 100%.

The Index Commodities Weights Tables reflect the range of the weightings with respect to each of the Index Commodities used to calculate each Index.

The Index rules stipulate the holding in each Index Commodity futures contract. Holdings in each Index Commodity change during the Index rebalancing periods as determined by the optimum yield roll rules.

Various statistical information is presented on the following pages, relating to the Closing Levels of each Index, on an annual and cumulative basis, including certain comparisons of each Index to other commodities indices. In reviewing such information, prospective investors should consider that:

For example, the “Worst Peak-to-Valley Drawdown” of each Index, represents the greatest percentage decline from any month-end Closing Level, without such Closing Level being equaled or exceeded as of a subsequent month-end, which occurred during the above-listed time period.

The “Worst Monthly Drawdown” of each Index occurred during the above-listed month and year.

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT, BUT IS TO TRACK THE CORRESPONDING INDEX, BECAUSE EACH INDEX WAS ESTABLISHED BETWEEN MAY-JULY 2006, CERTAIN INFORMATION RELATING TO INDEX CLOSING LEVELS MAY BE CONSIDERED TO BE “HYPOTHETICAL.” HYPOTHETICAL INFORMATION MAY HAVE CERTAIN INHERENT LIMITATIONS, SOME OF WHICH ARE DESCRIBED BELOW.

NO REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT EACH INDEX WILL OR IS LIKELY TO ACHIEVE ANNUAL OR CUMULATIVE CLOSING LEVELS CONSISTENT WITH OR SIMILAR TO THOSE SET FORTH HEREIN. SIMILARLY, NO REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT EACH FUND WILL GENERATE PROFITS OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THE FUND’S PAST PERFORMANCE, WHEN AVAILABLE, OR THE HISTORICAL ANNUAL OR CUMULATIVE CHANGES IN THE CORRESPONDING INDEX CLOSING LEVELS. IN FACT, THERE ARE FREQUENTLY SHARP DIFFERENCES BETWEEN HYPOTHETICAL RESULTS AND THE ACTUAL RESULTS SUBSEQUENTLY ACHIEVED BY INVESTMENT METHODOLOGIES, WHETHER ACTIVE OR PASSIVE.

ONE OF THE LIMITATIONS OF HYPOTHETICAL INFORMATION IS THAT IT IS GENERALLY PREPARED WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT. TO THE EXTENT THAT INFORMATION PRESENTED HEREIN RELATES TO THE PERIOD SINCE INCEPTION WITH RESPECT TO EACH INDEX THROUGH MAY-JULY 2006, AS APPLICABLE, EACH INDEX’S CLOSING LEVELS REFLECT THE APPLICATION OF THE INDEX’S METHODOLOGY, AND SELECTION OF INDEX COMMODITIES, IN HINDSIGHT.

NO HYPOTHETICAL RECORD CAN COMPLETELY ACCOUNT FOR THE IMPACT OF FINANCIAL RISK IN ACTUAL TRADING. FOR EXAMPLE, THERE ARE NUMEROUS FACTORS, INCLUDING THOSE DESCRIBED UNDER “RISK FACTORS” HEREIN, RELATED TO THE COMMODITIES MARKETS IN GENERAL OR TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF EACH FUND’S EFFORTS TO TRACK ITS CORRESPONDING INDEX OVER TIME WHICH CANNOT BE, AND HAVE NOT BEEN, ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE PREPARATION OF SUCH INDEX INFORMATION SET FORTH ON THE FOLLOWING PAGES, ALL OF WHICH CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS FOR EACH FUND. FURTHERMORE, THE INDEX INFORMATION DOES NOT INVOLVE FINANCIAL RISK OR ACCOUNT FOR THE IMPACT OF FEES AND COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH EACH FUND.

THE MANAGING OWNER HAS HAD LIMITED EXPERIENCE IN TRADING ACTUAL ACCOUNTS FOR ITSELF OR FOR CLIENTS. BECAUSE THERE ARE NO ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS TO COMPARE TO THE INDEX CLOSING LEVELS SET FORTH HEREIN, PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS SHOULD BE PARTICULARLY WARY OF PLACING UNDUE RELIANCE ON THE ANNUAL OR CUMULATIVE INDEX RESULTS.

The following table¹ reflects various measures of volatility² of the history of each Index as calculated on an excess return basis:

The following table reflects the daily volatility on an annual basis of each Index:

Daily Volatility: The relative rate at which the price of the Index moves up and down, found by calculating the annualized standard deviation of the daily change in price.

Monthly Return Volatility: The relative rate at which the price of the Index moves up and down, found by calculating the annualized standard deviation of the monthly change in price.

Average Annual Volatility: The average of yearly volatilities for a given sample period. The yearly volatility is the relative rate at which the price of the Index moves up and down, found by calculating the annualized standard deviation of the daily change in price for each business day in the given year.
