or to conform with any usage with respect thereto, or to indicate any special limitations or restrictions to which the Shares evidenced by a particular Certificate are subject.

(c) The Sponsor and the Trustee will apply to DTC for acceptance of the Shares in its book-entry settlement system. Shares deposited with
DTC shall be evidenced by one or more global Certificates which shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for DTC, and shall bear the following legend:

UNLESS THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY, A NEW YORK CORPORATION (DTC), TO THE AGENT AUTHORIZED BY THE ISSUER FOR
REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY CERTIFICATE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CEDE & CO. OR IN SUCH OTHER NAME AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC (AND ANY PAYMENT IS MADE TO CEDE & CO.
OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE, OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL INASMUCH AS THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN
INTEREST HEREIN.

(d) So long as the Shares are eligible for book-entry settlement with DTC and such settlement is available,
unless otherwise required by law, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.3(a) and Section 2.3(b), all Shares shall be evidenced by one or more global Certificates the Registered Owner of which is DTC or a nominee of DTC and
(i) no Beneficial Owner of Shares will be entitled to receive a separate Certificate evidencing those Shares, (ii) the interest of a Beneficial Owner in Shares represented by a global Certificate will be shown only on, and transfer of that
interest will be effected only



11



---

through, records maintained by DTC or a DTC Participant or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner holds that interest and (iii) the rights of a Beneficial Owner with respect
to Shares represented by a global Certificate will be exercised only to the extent allowed by, and in compliance with, the arrangements in effect between such Beneficial Owner and DTC or the DTC Participant or Indirect Participant through which that
Beneficial Owner holds an interest in Shares.

(e) If, at any time when Shares are evidenced by a global Certificate, DTC
ceases to make its book-entry settlement system available for such Shares, the Trustee shall execute and deliver separate Certificates evidencing Shares to the DTC Participants entitled thereto, with such additions, deletions and modifications to
this Agreement and to the form of Certificate evidencing Shares as the Sponsor and the Trustee may agree.

(f) Title to a
Certificate evidencing Shares (and to the Shares evidenced thereby), when properly endorsed or accompanied by proper instruments of transfer, shall be transferable by delivery with the same effect as in the case of a negotiable instrument under the
laws of New York; provided, however, that the Trustee, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, may treat the Registered Owner of Shares as the absolute owner thereof for the purpose of determining the person entitled to any
distribution or to any notice provided for in this Agreement and for all other purposes.

Section 2.4 Deposit of South
African Rand.

(a) After the deposit of South African Rand in the Trust by the Initial Purchaser, as defined in the
registration statement, the issuance and Delivery of Shares will take place only in integral numbers of Baskets and in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, as supplemented by any procedures attached to an applicable Authorized
Participant Agreement, to the extent those procedures are consistent with this Agreement. Authorized Participants wishing to acquire from the Trustee one or more Baskets must place an order with the Trustee (a Purchase Order).
Purchase Orders received by the Trustee prior to the Order Cutoff Time on a New York Business Day will



12



---

have that day as the Order Date. Purchase Orders received on a day that is not a New York Business Day or received after the Order Cutoff Time on a New York Business Day will have the next
following New York Business Day as the Order Date. The Settlement Date for a Purchase Order shall be the third New York Business Day following the Order Date unless that day is not a Local Business Day, in which case the
Settlement Date shall be the next following day that is both a New York Business Day and a Local Business Day. As consideration for each Basket acquired, Authorized Participants must deposit with the Depository the Basket South African Rand Amount
determined by the Trustee on the Business Day prior to the Settlement Date for the corresponding Purchase Order. The Basket South African Rand Amount shall be deposited in the Non-Interest Account. Pursuant to Section 6.5, the Trustee shall
contemporaneously instruct the Depository to transfer the portion of the Basket South African Rand Amount representing principal from the Non-Interest Account to the Interest Account. The portion of the Basket South African Rand Amount representing
a pro rata portion of accrued but unpaid interest will remain in the Non-Interest Account.

(b) The Trustee shall determine
the Basket South African Rand Amount for each New York Business Day. The initial Basket South African Rand Amount is 50,000,000 South African Rand. After the initial deposit, the Basket South African Rand Amount
shall be an amount of South African Rand equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the NAV per Basket on the date on which the determination is being made by the Relevant Price on such date. For purposes of this computation, NAV per
Basket is the product obtained by multiplying (x) the NAV per Share determined in compliance with Section 4.1, by (y) the number of Shares which constitute a Basket on the date on which the determination is being made.
Fractions of a South African Rand smaller than .001 shall be disregarded. The Sponsor intends to publish, or may designate other persons to publish, for each New York Business Day, the Basket South African Rand Amount.



13



---

(c) If the Trust Property includes Surplus Property, no deposits of South African Rand will
be accepted until after a record date for distribution of that money or property, or proceeds from that property, has passed.

(d) All deposited South African Rand shall be owned by the Trust and held for the Trust by the Depository in the Interest Account or the
Non-Interest Account. Any assets of the Trust other than South African Rand shall be held by the Trustee or the Depository at such place and in such manner as the Trustee shall determine.

Section 2.5 Delivery of Shares.

Upon receipt by the Trustee of any deposit in accordance with Section 2.4, together with a Purchase Order and the other documents required under this Agreement, if any, and a confirmation from the
Depository that the Basket South African Rand Amount has been Delivered to the Depository for each Basket of Shares and the Depository is holding those South African Rand for the account of the Trust, the Trustee, subject to the terms and conditions
of this Agreement, shall Deliver to the Depositor the number of Baskets of Shares issuable in respect of such deposit as requested in the corresponding Purchase Order, but only upon payment to the Trustee of the fees and expenses of the Trustee as
provided in Section 6.7 and of all taxes and governmental charges and fees payable in connection with such deposit, the transfer of the South African Rand and the issuance and Delivery of the Shares.

Section 2.6 Registration and Registration of Transfer of Shares; Combination and Split-up of Certificates.

(a) The Trustee shall keep or cause to be kept a register of Registered Owners of Shares and shall provide for the registration of Shares
and the registration of transfers of Shares.

(b) The Trustee, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, shall
register transfers of ownership of Shares on its transfer books from time to time,



14



---

upon any Surrender of a Certificate evidencing such Shares, by the Registered Owner in person or by a duly authorized attorney, properly endorsed or accompanied by proper instruments of transfer,
and duly stamped as may be required by the laws of the State of New York and of the United States of America. Thereupon the Trustee shall execute a new Certificate or Certificates evidencing such Shares, and deliver the same to or upon the order of
the Person entitled thereto.

(c) The Trustee, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, shall, upon Surrender of
a Certificate or Certificates evidencing Shares for the purposes of effecting a split-up or combination of that certificate or certificates, execute and deliver one or more new Certificates evidencing those Shares.

(d) The Trustee may, with the written approval of the Sponsor (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), appoint one or more
co-transfer agents for the purpose of effecting registration of transfers of Shares and combinations and split-ups of Certificates at designated transfer offices on behalf of the Trustee at the Trustees expense. In carrying out its functions,
a co-transfer agent may require evidence of authority and compliance with applicable laws and other requirements by Registered Owners or Persons entitled to Shares and will be entitled to protection and indemnity to the same extent as the Trustee.

Section 2.7 Surrender of Shares and Withdrawal of Trust Property.

Upon Surrender of any integral number of Baskets for the purpose of withdrawal of the amount of Trust Property represented thereby, and
upon payment of the fee of the Trustee in connection with the Surrender of Shares as provided in Section 6.7 and payment of all taxes and charges payable in connection with such Surrender and withdrawal of Trust Property, and subject to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, an Authorized Participant acting on authority of the Registered Owner of those Shares will be entitled to Delivery, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, as supplemented by any procedures
attached to an applicable Authorized Participant

Agreement, to the extent those procedures are consistent with this Agreement, of the amount of Trust Property at the time represented by such Baskets, including the Basket South African Rand
Amounts corresponding to such Baskets for the New York Business Day prior to the Settlement Date (as defined below), but excluding from those Basket South African Rand Amounts any portion that represents the value of Trust Property that is not held
as South African Rand. Authorized Participants wishing to redeem one or more Baskets must place an order with the Trustee (a Redemption Order). Redemption Orders received by the Trustee prior to the Order Cutoff Time on a New York
Business Day will have that day as the Order Date. Redemption Orders received by the Trustee after the Order Cutoff Time on a New York Business Day or on a day that is not a New York Business Day will have the next New York Business Day as the Order
Date. The Settlement Date for a Redemption Order shall be the third New York Business Day following the Order Date unless that day is not a Local Business Day, in which case the Settlement Date shall be the next following day that
is both a New York Business Day and a Local Business Day. Any Trust Property other than South African Rand will be delivered by the Trustee.

The Trustee may require that a Certificate evidencing Shares Surrendered for the purpose of withdrawal is properly endorsed in blank or accompanied by proper instruments of transfer in blank. Upon a
Surrender of an integral number of Baskets of Shares and satisfaction of all the conditions for withdrawal of Trust Property, the Trustee shall instruct the Depository to Deliver, to or to the order of the Surrendering Authorized Participant, the
amount of South African Rand represented by the Surrendered Baskets of Shares and the Depository or the Trustee shall pay or deliver to or to the order of the Surrendering Authorized Participant the amount of any other Trust Property represented by
the Surrendered Baskets of Shares. Any Delivery of South African Rand other than by wire transfer or at the office of the Depository will be at the expense and risk of the Authorized Participant.

time or from time to time.

(c) The Surrender of Shares for purposes of withdrawing Trust Property may be suspended by the
Trustee only if (i) the Trust holds Surplus Property that has not been distributed in accordance with Section 4.5 or (ii) the Trustee determines, in its sole discretion, that a suspension is necessary or desirable. In either case, the
Trustee and the Depository shall consult with each other and use good faith efforts to resume accepting and honoring Redemption Orders as soon as possible.

deliver a new Certificate of like tenor in exchange and substitution for a mutilated Certificate upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and in substitution for a destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate if the Registered Owner

protected purchaser and (ii) a sufficient indemnity bond and (b) satisfied any other reasonable requirements imposed by the Trustee.

Section 2.10 Cancellation and Destruction of Surrendered Certificates.

All Certificates Surrendered to the Trustee shall be canceled by the Trustee. The Trustee is authorized to destroy Certificates so
canceled.

Section 2.11 Splits and Reverse Splits of Shares.

If requested in writing by the Sponsor, the Trustee shall effect a split or reverse split of the Shares as of a record date set by the
Trustee in accordance with procedures determined by the Trustee.

The Trustee is not required to distribute any fraction of a
Share in connection with a split or reverse split of the Shares. The Trustee may sell the aggregated fractions of Shares that would otherwise be distributed in a split or reverse split of the Shares or the amount of Trust Property that would be
represented by those Shares and distribute the net proceeds of those Shares or that Trust Property to the Registered Owners entitled to them.

The amount of Trust Property represented by each Share and the Basket South African Rand Amount shall be adjusted as appropriate as of the open of business on the New York Business Day following the
record date for a split or reverse split of the Shares.

Liability of Registered Owner for Taxes and Other Governmental Charges.

If any tax or other governmental charge shall
become payable by the Trustee with respect to any transfer or redemption of Shares, such tax or other governmental charge shall be payable by the Registered Owner of such Shares to the Trustee. The Trustee shall refuse to effect any registration of
transfer of such Shares or any withdrawal of Trust Property represented by such Shares until such payment is made, and may withhold any distributions, or may sell for the account of the Registered Owner thereof Trust Property or Shares, and may

ARTICLE 4

ADMINISTRATION OF THE TRUST

Section 4.1 Evaluation of South
African Rand; Calculation of Net Asset Value.

As promptly as practicable after the determination of the Relevant Price on
each New York Business Day, ordinarily no later than 4:00 PM (New York time), the Trustee will calculate, and the Sponsor or a person designated by the Sponsor will publish, the Trusts net asset value (NAV). To calculate the
NAV, the Trustee will:

(a) take the sum of South African Rand in the Interest Account and Non-Interest Account as of the
close of business on the preceding Local Business Day, as reported by the Depository;

(b) add interest accrued but unpaid on
the Interest Account through the preceding day;

(c) subtract the accrued but unpaid Sponsors Fee through the preceding
day;

(d) add South African Rand receivable by the Trust under Purchase Orders having Order Dates on or before the preceding
New York Business Day;

(e) subtract South African Rand payable by the Trust under Redemption Orders having Order Dates on or
before the preceding New York Business Day;

(f) convert the result after step (e) into Dollars using the Relevant Price;

(g) add the Dollar value of any other assets included in the Trust Property as of the close of business on the preceding New
York Business Day; and

(h) subtract the Dollar value of any other expenses and liabilities of the Trust as of the close of
business on the preceding New York Business Day.



20



---

The result is the NAV of the Trust for that New York Business Day. The Trustee shall also
divide the NAV of the Trust by the number of Shares outstanding for the date of the evaluation then being made, which figure is the NAV per Share. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the number of Shares deemed outstanding
shall include Shares to be Delivered under Purchase Orders having Order Dates on or before the preceding New York Business Day and shall exclude Shares to be Surrendered under Redemption Orders having Order Dates on or before the preceding New York
Business Day.

Section 4.2 Responsibility of the Trustee for Evaluations.

The Sponsor, Depositors, Registered Owners and Beneficial Owners may rely on any evaluation or determination of any amount made by the
Trustee, and the Sponsor shall have no responsibility for the accuracy thereof. The determinations made by the Trustee under this Agreement shall be made in good faith upon the basis of, and the Trustee shall not be liable for any errors contained
in, information reasonably available to it. The Trustee shall be under no liability to the Sponsor, or to Depositors, Registered Owners or Beneficial Owners, for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not
protect the Trustee against any liability to which it would otherwise be subject by reason of negligence or bad faith in the performance of its duties.

Section 4.3 Interest Account and Non-Interest Account.

The Trustee
will deposit all South African Rand into the Interest Account or the Non-Interest Account in accordance with Section 6.5. The Interest Account will accrue interest in accordance with the terms of the Deposit Account Agreement. The Non-Interest
Account will not accrue interest.

Section 4.4 Cash Distributions.

On the first Local Business Day of each month, the Depository will deposit into the Non-Interest Account the accrued but unpaid interest
for the previous



21



---

month. On the first day of each month that is both a Local Business Day and a New York Business Day, the Trustee will make withdrawals from the Non-Interest Account to pay the accrued
Sponsors Fee for the previous month plus any other Trust expenses. In the event that the interest deposited exceeds the sum of the Sponsors Fee for the previous month plus other Trust expenses, if any, then the Trustee shall convert the
excess into Dollars in accordance with Section 4.9, and, as promptly as practicable declare a record date and distribute the net proceeds to Registered Owners on a pro rata basis (in accordance with the number of Shares that they own);
provided, however, that in the event that the Trustee shall be required to withhold and does withhold from such cash an amount on account of taxes, the amount distributed to the Registered Owners shall be reduced accordingly; and
provided, further, that the Trustee shall round the amount paid to each Registered Owner to the nearest whole cent.

Section 4.5 Distributions of Surplus Property.

At any time that the Trust Property includes Surplus Property, the Trustee shall, as promptly as practicable, (a) distribute all Surplus Property consisting of Dollars to the Registered Owners in
proportion to the number of Shares held by them, and (b) convert into Dollars or sell for Dollars all other Surplus Property and distribute the Dollar proceeds, net of the fees and expenses of the Trustee, to the Registered Owners in proportion
to the number of Shares held by them. If the Trust Property includes any Surplus Property that is not South African Rand, the Trustee shall suspend deposits of South African Rand for the purpose of issuance of Shares until after a record date for
distribution of that Surplus Property, or proceeds of that Surplus Property, has passed.

Section 4.6 Fixing of Record
Date.

Whenever any distribution will be made, or whenever the Trustee receives notice of any solicitation of proxies or
consents from Registered Owners, or whenever for any reason there is a split, reverse split or other change in the outstanding Shares, or whenever the Trustee shall find it necessary or convenient in respect of any matter, the



22



---

Trustee, in consultation with the Sponsor, shall fix a record date for the determination of the Registered Owners who shall be (i) entitled to receive such distribution or the net proceeds
of the sale thereof, (ii) entitled to give such proxies or consents in respect of any such solicitation or (iii) entitled to act in respect of any other matter for which the record date was set.

Section 4.7 Payment of Trust Expenses.

(a) The following expenses are or may be accrued and paid by the Trust:

(1) the
Sponsors Fee and other fees and expenses of the Sponsor set forth in Section 5.6;

(2) expenses of the Trust not
assumed by the Sponsor pursuant to Section 5.1(b);

(3) taxes and other governmental charges;

(4) expenses and costs of any extraordinary services performed by the Trustee or the Sponsor on behalf of the Trust or action taken by
the Trustee or the Sponsor to protect the Trust or the interests of Registered Owners; and

(5) indemnification of the Sponsor
as provided in Section 7.1(d).

(b) On first day of each month that is both a Local Business Day and a New York Business
Day, the Trustee shall withdraw from the Non-Interest Account amounts necessary to pay the Trust expenses provided for in Section 4.7(a) and any otherwise unpaid expenses hereunder. In the event that the expenses exceed the balance of the
Non-Interest Account, such excess shall be withdrawn from the Interest Account. The Trustee will withdraw and sell sufficient South African Rand to purchase an amount of currency other than South African Rand sufficient to pay any Trust expenses
payable other than in South African Rand and the costs of currency conversion.



23



---

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if requested by the Sponsor and agreed to by the Trustee,
the Trustee will advance amounts out of its own funds for the payment of Trust expenses, provided that the amount advanced at any time shall not exceed $20,000. The amount of such advances, together with interest thereon at a percentage rate equal
to then-current overnight federal funds rate, shall be expenses of the Trust. The Trustee shall have a lien on the balances on hand in the Interest Account and Non-Interest Account to the extent of all amounts advanced by it pursuant to this
Section 4.7(c), which lien shall be superior to the interest of the Registered Owners.

(d) The Trustee is conclusively
authorized to sell South African Rand in the smallest amounts required to permit payment of Trust expenses, it being the intention to minimize the Trusts holdings of assets other than South African Rand. Neither the Trustee nor the Sponsor
shall have any liability for loss or depreciation resulting from sales of South African Rand so made. The Trustee shall not be liable or responsible in any way for depreciation or loss incurred by reason of any sale made in accordance with this
Section 4.7(d).

Section 4.8 Statements and Reports.

After the end of each Fiscal Year and within the time period required by applicable laws, rules and regulations, at the Sponsors
expense, the Trustee shall send to the Registered Owners as of the end of such Fiscal Year, an annual report of the Trust containing financial statements audited by independent accountants designated by the Sponsor and such other information as may
be required by such laws, rules and regulations or otherwise, or which the Sponsor determines shall be included. The Trustee may distribute the annual report by any means acceptable to the Registered Owners and that complies with applicable laws,
rules and regulations.

Section 4.9 Further Provisions for Sales of Trust Property; Currency Conversion.

In addition to selling South African Rand in accordance with Section 4.7, the Trustee shall sell South African Rand
whenever any one or more of the following conditions exist:

(i) the Sponsor has notified the Trustee that such sale is
required by applicable law or regulation; or

(ii) the Trust is to be terminated and its assets liquidated in accordance with
Section 8.2.

When the Trustee is required or permitted to sell Trust Property, it may sell that Trust Property by public
or private sale in any manner and on any terms that are (i) commercially reasonable in the circumstances and (ii) reasonably calculated to maximize the value of the Trust Property while taking into account any duty of the Trustee under
this Agreement to sell that Trust Property as promptly as practicable.

However, whenever the Trustee is required or permitted
to sell Trust Property that is currency, if at the time the currency can, in the judgment of the Trustee, be converted on a reasonable basis into the required currency that, if applicable, is transferable to the United States, the Trustee shall
place orders with dealers (which may include the Depository or the Trustee or any of their affiliates) through which it may reasonably expect to obtain a commercially reasonable rate of exchange (net of commission) and good execution of orders.

If such conversion can be effected only with the approval or license of any government or agency thereof, the Trustee shall
file such application for approval or license, if any, as it may deem desirable.



25



---

If at any time the Trustee shall determine that in its judgment the currency is not
convertible on a reasonable basis into the required currency or that, if applicable, is transferable to the United States, or if any approval or license of any government or agency thereof which is required for such conversion is denied or in the
opinion of the Trustee is not obtainable, or if any such approval or license is not obtained within a reasonable period as determined by the Trustee, the Trustee may distribute the currency without conversion (or an appropriate document evidencing
the right to receive such currency) to, or in its discretion may hold such currency for the respective accounts of, the persons entitled to receive it. Any interest earned or investment gains attributable to amounts withheld from distribution shall
be held by the Trustee for distribution to the Registered Owners entitled to the amount to which the interest or gain is attributable.

If any such conversion of currency, in whole or in part, cannot be effected for distribution to some of the persons entitled to it, the Trustee may, in its discretion, make such conversion and
distribution to the extent permissible to the persons entitled to it and may distribute the balance of the currency without conversion to, or in its discretion may hold such currency for the respective accounts of, the persons entitled to receive
it. Any interest earned or investment gains attributable to amounts withheld from distribution shall be held by the Trustee for distribution to the Registered Owners entitled to the amount to which the interest or gain is attributable.

The Trustee and the Sponsor shall not be liable or responsible in any way for depreciation or loss incurred by reason of any sale made
pursuant to this Section 4.9.

Section 4.10 Counsel.

The Sponsor may from time to time employ counsel to act on behalf of the Trust and perform any legal services in connection with the
South African Rand and the Trust, including any legal matters relating to the possible disposition or acquisition of any South African Rand. The reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be paid by the Sponsor up to an aggregate maximum of
$100,000 per year, with any excess amount to be paid by the Trust.



26



---

Section 4.11 Grantor Trust.

Nothing in this Agreement, any agreement with a Depository, or otherwise, shall be construed to give the Trustee or Sponsor the power to
vary the investment of the Beneficial Owners within the meaning of Section 301.7701-4(c) of the regulations under the Code or any similar or successor provision of the regulations under the Code, nor shall the Sponsor give the Trustee any
direction that would vary the investment of the Beneficial Owners. However, the Trustee shall not be liable to any Person for any failure of the Trust to qualify as a grantor trust under the Code or any comparable provision of the laws of any State
or other jurisdiction where that treatment is sought, except that this sentence shall not limit the Trustees responsibility for the administration of the Trust in accordance with this Agreement. Neither the Trustee nor the Sponsor will
agree to any amendment of the Deposit Account Agreement unless the Sponsor obtains and delivers to the Trustee a prior written opinion of counsel to the effect that such amendment will have no adverse effect on the classification of the Trust as a
grantor trust under the Code.

ARTICLE 5

(a) The Sponsor shall select the
Depository and shall be solely responsible for that selection. The Sponsor is responsible for establishing the Trust and for the registration of the Shares. The Sponsor will generally oversee the performance of the Trustee and the Trusts

Section 5.2 Obligations of the Sponsor.

civil or criminal penalty on account of, or is delayed in, doing or performing any act or thing which by the terms of this Agreement it is provided shall be done or performed and accordingly the Sponsor does not do that act or thing or does that act
or thing at a later time than would otherwise be required. The Sponsor will not incur any liability to any Registered Owner or Beneficial Owner or Depositor by reason of any non-performance or delay in the performance of any act or thing which by
the terms of this Agreement it is provided may be done or performed, or by reason of any exercise of, or failure to exercise, any discretion provided for in this Agreement.

Section 5.4 Certain Matters Regarding Successor Sponsor.

The
covenants, provisions and agreements herein contained shall in every case be binding upon any successor to the business of the Sponsor. The Sponsor may transfer all or substantially all of its assets to an entity which carries on the business of the

If the Sponsor shall fail to undertake or perform or become
incapable of undertaking or performing its duties hereunder or shall become bankrupt or its affairs shall be taken over by public authorities, the effect of that event shall be the same as if the Sponsor had given a notice of resignation as provided
in the preceding paragraph.

Upon its resignation becoming effective, the resigning Sponsor shall be discharged and shall no
longer be liable in any manner hereunder except as to acts or omissions occurring before its resignation became effective, and the successor sponsor shall thereupon undertake and perform all duties and be entitled to all rights and compensation as
sponsor under this Agreement. The successor sponsor shall not be under any liability hereunder for acts or omissions occurring prior to the effective date stated in the instrument appointing it successor sponsor. The Trustee shall notify Registered

its predecessor; but such predecessor, nevertheless, upon payment of all sums due it and on the written request of the Sponsor, acting on behalf of the Registered Owners, shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor all
rights and powers of such predecessor hereunder, shall duly assign, transfer and deliver all right, title and interest in the Trust Property to such successor, and shall deliver to such successor a list of the Registered Owners of all outstanding
Shares. The Sponsor or any such successor trustee shall promptly notify the Registered Owners of the appointment of such successor trustee.

omissions occurring prior to such resignation or removal, and the new trustee shall thereupon undertake and perform all duties and be entitled to all rights and compensation as trustee under this Agreement. The successor trustee shall not be under

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 7.1 Indemnification of the Sponsor and Trustee.

(a) The
Sponsor shall indemnify the Trustee, its directors, employees and agents (the Trustee Indemnified Persons) against, and hold each of them harmless from, any loss, liability, cost, expense or judgment (including, but not limited
to, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) (collectively Indemnified Amounts) that is incurred by any of them and that arises out of or is related to (i) any offer or sale by the Trust of Baskets of Shares under this
Agreement, (ii) acts performed or omitted pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, as the same may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, by (A) a Trustee Indemnified Person or (B) the Sponsor or (iii) any
filings with or submissions to the Commission in connection with or with respect to the Shares (which, by way of illustration and not by way of limitation, include any registration statement and any amendments or supplements thereto filed with the
Commission or any periodic reports or updates that may be filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any failure to make any filings with or



39



---

submissions to the Commission which are required to be made in connection with or with respect to the Shares), except that the Sponsor shall not have any obligations under this
Section 7.1(a) to pay Indemnified Amounts incurred as a result of and attributable to (x) the negligence or bad faith of, or material breach of the terms of this Agreement by, the Trustee, (y) written information furnished in writing
by the Trustee to the Sponsor expressly for use in the registration statement, or any amendment thereto, filed with the Commission relating to the Shares that is not materially altered by the Sponsor or (z) any misrepresentations or omissions
made by a Depositor (other than Sponsor) in connection with such Depositors offer and sale of Shares.

(b) The Trustee
shall indemnify the Sponsor, its members, officers, employees and agents against, and hold each of them harmless from, any Indemnified Amounts (i) caused by the negligence or bad faith of the Trustee or (ii) arising out of any information
furnished in writing to the Sponsor by the Trustee expressly for use in an registration statement, or any amendment thereto, a prospectus pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 Section 10(a) or Section 10(b), or a prospectus supplement
thereto with the Commission relating to the Shares that is not materially altered by the Sponsor.

(c) If the indemnification
provided for in Section 7.1(a) or Section 7.1(b) is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the Indemnified Amounts
referred to in subsection (a) or (b) above (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Sponsor on the one hand and the Trustee on the other hand from the fees each receives that are
attributable to the Shares which are the subject of the action or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits
referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Sponsor on the one hand and the Trustee on the other hand in connection with the action, statement or omission which resulted in such Indemnified Amount as well as any other
relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other



40



---

things, whether any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact from which the action arises relates to information supplied
by the Sponsor or the Trustee and the parties relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission or the act or omission from which the action arises. The amount of
Indemnified Amounts referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (c) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim
which is the subject of this subsection (c).

(d) The Sponsor and its shareholders, directors, officers, employees, affiliates
(as such term is defined under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) and subsidiaries (each, a Sponsor Indemnified Party) shall be indemnified from the Trust and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred
without (i) negligence, bad faith, willful misconduct or willful malfeasance on the part of the Sponsor arising out of or in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement or any actions taken in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement or (ii) reckless disregard by the Sponsor of its obligations and duties under this Agreement. Such indemnity shall include payment from the Trust of the costs and expenses incurred by such Sponsor Indemnified Party
in defending itself against any claim or liability in its capacity as Sponsor. Any amounts payable to a Sponsor Indemnified Party under this Section 7.1(d) may be payable in advance or shall be secured by a lien on the Trust.

(e) If an action, proceeding (including, but not limited to, any governmental investigation), claim or dispute (each, a
Proceeding) in respect of which indemnity may be sought by either party is brought or asserted against the other party, the party seeking indemnification (the Indemnitee) shall promptly (and in no event more
than seven (7) days after receipt of notice of such Proceeding) notify the party obligated to provide such indemnification (the Indemnitor) of such Proceeding. The failure of the Indemnitee to so notify the Indemnitor shall
not impair the Indemnitees ability to



41



---

seek indemnification from the Indemnitor (but only for costs, expenses and liabilities incurred after such notice) unless such failure adversely affects the Indemnitors ability to
adequately oppose or defend such Proceeding. Upon receipt of such notice from the Indemnitee, the Indemnitor shall be entitled to participate in such Proceeding and, to the extent that it shall so desire and provided no conflict of interest exists
as specified in clause (i) below and there are no other defenses available to Indemnitee as specified in clause (iii) below, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee (in which case all
attorneys fees and expenses shall be borne by the Indemnitor and the Indemnitor shall in good faith defend the Indemnitee). The Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense
thereof, but, in such case, no fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by the Indemnitor unless such fees and expenses are otherwise required to be indemnified under Section 7.1(a), Section 7.1(b) or Section 7.1(d), as
applicable, and (i) there is such a conflict of interest between the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee as would preclude, in compliance with the ethical rules in effect in the jurisdiction in which the Proceeding was brought, one lawyer from
representing both parties simultaneously, (ii) the Indemnitor fails, within the earlier of (x) twenty (20) days following receipt of notice of the Proceeding from the Indemnitee or (y) seven (7) days prior to the date the
first response or appearance is required to be made in such Proceeding, to assume the defense of such Proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee or (iii) there are legal defenses available to Indemnitee that are different
from or are in addition to those available to the Indemnitor. No compromise or settlement of such Proceeding may be effected by either party without the other partys consent unless (m) there is no finding or admission of any violation of
law and no effect on any other claims that may be made against such other party and (n) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the party seeking the settlement. Neither party shall have any liability with respect
to any compromise or settlement effected without its consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Indemnitor shall have no obligation to indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnitee from any loss, expense or liability incurred by the
Indemnitee as a result of a default judgment entered against the Indemnitee unless such judgment was entered after the Indemnitor agreed, in writing, to assume the defense of such Proceeding.

The Trustee and the Sponsor may amend any provisions of this Agreement without the consent of any Registered Owner; provided, however,
that the provisions of Section 2.6, Section 2.7, Section 2.10, Section 4.2 through Section 4.7, this Section 8.1 and Section 8.2 may not be amended unless (i) the provision relates solely to procedural or
logistical matters (as distinguished from core economic rights), or (ii) prior to the amendment, (a) the Sponsor obtains and delivers to the Trustee a written opinion of counsel to the effect that after such amendment the Trust will
continue to be classified as a grantor trust under the Code, and (b) in the event that such opinion of counsel assumes that certain actions are taken by the Sponsor or the Trustee in connection with such amendment, such actions
shall be taken by the Sponsor or the Trustee, as the case may be. Any amendment that imposes or increases any fees or charges (other than taxes and other governmental charges, registration fees or other such expenses), or that otherwise prejudices
any substantial existing right of the Registered Owners, will not become effective as to outstanding Shares until 30 days after notice of such amendment is given to the Registered Owners. Every Registered Owner and Beneficial Owner, at the time any
amendment so becomes effective, shall be deemed, by continuing to hold any Shares or an interest therein, to consent and agree to such amendment and to be bound by this Agreement as amended thereby. In no event shall any amendment impair the right
of the Registered Owner of Shares to Surrender Baskets of Shares and receive therefor the amount of Trust Property represented thereby, except in order to comply with mandatory provisions of applicable law.

Section 8.2 Termination.

(a) The Trustee shall set a date on which this Agreement will terminate and mail notice of that termination to the Registered Owners at least 30 days prior to the date set for termination, which date
shall be no later than 90 days from the mailing of termination notice, if any of the following occurs:

that they elect to terminate the Trust;

(iii) the Depository resigns or is removed; or

(iv) the Trust receives notice from the Internal Revenue Service or counsel for the Trust or the Sponsor that the Trust fails to qualify
for treatment, or will not be treated, as a grantor trust under the Code.

(b) The Trustee shall set a date on which this
Agreement will terminate and mail notice of that termination to the Registered Owners at least 30 days prior to the date set for termination, which date shall be no later than 90 days from the mailing of termination notice, if any of the following
occurs and the Sponsor has notified the Trustee that it elects to terminate this Agreement:

(i) The Trustee is notified that
the Shares are delisted from a national securities exchange and are not approved for listing on another national securities exchange within five New York Business Days of their delisting;

(ii) the Commission determines that the Trust is an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended;

of the Shares being traded on the Exchange;



44

(v) the aggregate market capitalization of the Trust, based on the closing price for the Shares remains less than $300 million at any
time for five consecutive trading days beginning after the first anniversary of this Agreement; or

(vi) DTC ceases providing
book-entry settlement services for the Shares.

(c) If 60 days have elapsed since the Trustee gave the Sponsor notice of its
election to resign and no successor trustee appointed by the Sponsor has accepted appointment as Trustee, the Trustee may set a date on which this Agreement will terminate and mail notice of that termination to the Registered Owners at least 30 days
prior to the date set for termination.

(d) If not terminated sooner, this Agreement shall terminate forty years from the date
of this Agreement, and the Trustee shall mail a notice of that termination to the Registered Owners and the Sponsor at least 30 days before the termination date.

(e) On and after the date of termination of this Agreement, the Registered Owner of Shares will, upon (i) Surrender of those Shares, (ii) payment of the fee of the Trustee for the Surrender of
Shares provided in Section 6.7, and (iii) payment of any applicable taxes or other governmental charges, be entitled to Delivery, to the Registered Owner or upon the Registered Owners order, of the amount of Trust Property
represented by those Shares. The Trustee shall not accept any deposits of South African Rand after the date of termination of this Agreement. If any Shares remain outstanding after the date of termination of this Agreement, the Trustee thereafter
shall discontinue the registration of transfers of Shares, shall not make any distributions to Registered Owners, and shall not give any further notices or perform any further acts under this Agreement, except that the Trustee shall
continue to collect distributions pertaining to Trust Property and hold the same uninvested and without liability for interest, pay the Trusts expenses and sell South African Rand as necessary to meet those expenses and



45



---

shall continue to deliver Trust Property, together with any distributions received with respect thereto and the net proceeds of the sale of any other property, in exchange for Shares Surrendered
to the Trustee (after deducting or upon payment of, in each case, the fee of the Trustee set forth in 5.7 for the Surrender of Shares, any expenses for the account of the Registered Owner of such Shares in accordance with the terms and conditions of
this Agreement, and any applicable taxes or other governmental charges). At any time after the expiration of 90 days following the date of termination of this Agreement, the Trustee may sell for Dollars the Trust Property for then held under this
Agreement and may thereafter hold uninvested the net proceeds of any such sale, together with any other cash then held by it under this Agreement, unsegregated and without liability for interest, for the pro rata benefit of the
Registered Owners of Shares that have not theretofore been Surrendered, such Registered Owners thereupon becoming general creditors of the Trustee with respect to such net proceeds. After making such sale, the Trustee shall be discharged from all
obligations under this Agreement, except to account for such net proceeds and other cash (after deducting, in each case, any fees, expenses, taxes or other governmental charges payable by the Trust, the fee of the Trustee for the Surrender of Shares
and any expenses for the account of the Registered Owner of such Shares in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and any applicable taxes or other governmental charges), and the trust created by this Agreement shall terminate.
Upon the termination of this Agreement, the Sponsor shall be discharged from all obligations under this Agreement except for its obligations to the Trustee under Section 6.7 and Section 7.1, each of which shall survive termination of this
Agreement. Section 5.6 and this Section 8.1(e) shall also survive termination of this Agreement.
